Summary

🎧 Ep 3: John Stamos Pt. 1 — If You Would Have Told Me You think you know John Stamos. But do you know what his biggest grief was? Or why he secretly relates to all of us who’ve lost someone and can’t quite let them go? In Part One of this two-parter, I sit down with John Stamos not just as a celebrity, but as a human being who’s lived through major loss, public pressure, and Full House-level fame. We talk about the people we miss, the weird ways we stay connected to them, and yes… Uncle Jesse comes up. But it’s more than that. This episode will sneak up on you. One second you’re like, “Oh wow, Stamos is hot and funny,” and the next you’re like, “Why am I crying in traffic?” There’s a reason he wrote a book. There’s a reason he said yes to this podcast. Don’t miss it. Trust me. It gets deeper than you think. Buy his book If You Would Have Told Me: https://a.co/d/9RCTKwS FOR MORE FUN IN YOUR LIFE...FOLLOW JESSIMAE!

0:00.0	Hey you, welcome back to another dying laughing with Jesse May. I'm Jesse May, and today's
0:06.4	episode is a big one. It is about 40 years in the making and proof that manifesting really does
0:13.9	work. It's not just because today's episode features a celebrity, although yeah, he is.
0:19.1	And not because he's got a perfect jawline
0:22.2	and world-class hair, which he does, but because this conversation cracked open something real
0:27.8	and unexpected about grief, identity, and how we keep showing up, even when parts of us feel
0:34.7	gone. My guest today is John Stamos.
0:37.9	You know him.
0:38.7	Uncle Jesse, the Beach Boys, full house, ER, your mom's crush, probably yours, for sure mine.
0:45.2	And what you might not know is that he's also someone who's experienced real and private
0:50.0	heartbreak, the type of loss that doesn't fit into a tabloid headline and for sure the type of regret
0:56.9	that lingers under the surface of success. We talk about his memoir, if you would have told me,
1:02.6	and I'll be honest, if you would have told me that I was going to have John Stamos on my podcast,
1:06.3	I would have known. I manifested this when I was eight years old. You already know I dog-eared the hell out of that
1:11.6	book. I read it like a gosh-dartin Bible. It reads like a Bible if you're as big of a John Stamos fan
1:17.8	as I am. And I was so honored to have him on the podcast. We laughed. We got weird. We got
1:22.5	honest because that's what the show is. And because sometimes the most healing conversations are the ones you never
1:27.5	saw coming even though I saw this conversation coming from when I was eight years old. So grab a coffee,
1:32.9	take a walk, lie flat on your floor, whatever you got to do, I won't judge. Let's dive into this
1:38.5	episode of Dying Laughing with the one the only, the legend, Mr. John Stamos.
1:49.0	Music laughing with the one the only, the legend, Mr. John Stamos. Okay. I'm here for the questions. I have a lot of questions for you, so.
1:55.5	Are we rolling? Are we rolling now? Look at what I brought you. And I think there's maybe
