00:00Dave Coulier and his battle with cancer and the helping hand that he got from his buddy
00:06John Stamos, which oddly has turned into a backlash against John Stamos.
00:12So as you can see, John went over to Dave's house to help shave his head.
00:18You know, I think he said he's already started chemotherapy.
00:21He has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
00:24But John Stamos, you see, he didn't shave his head.
00:27He has a bald cap on.
00:28I think that was the backlash, but that seems like a friendly thing that John's doing, right?
00:34Well, and obviously, Dave saw this before they started shipping it.
00:39Dave knew that it was a...
00:40Yeah, and he's fine with it, right?
00:41So you would think if he's fine with it, everybody else...
00:43Well, you know the internet will always internet, and a lot of people went after John Stamos
00:49and said this was insensitive and you are making fun of people who actually have to
00:54go through chemotherapy and actually do lose their hair.
00:59Dave Coulier, not here for it.
01:01Well, so Dave defended John saying, listen, I'm a comedian.
01:05Laughter is what gets me through times like this.
01:07And he had to come out and defend John.
01:10But listen, as ridiculous as I think any backlash is to this, John could have just avoided this
01:15completely by not posting on social media.
01:19Anytime you post on social media, you're going to be subject to criticism.
01:23He could have also just done this nice gesture, not posted it at all, and no one would have
01:28thought anything of it, because then he presented it to everyone, and boom, he gets backlash.
01:33I know what you're saying, except that Dave Coulier did a very popular one on the Today
01:36Show and made this announcement.
01:37And so his fans want to know what he's going through, right?
01:42And so I'm sure...
01:43And this was a show of support.
01:44Right.
01:45It was a show of support.
01:46And obviously, Dave was on board with it.
01:48But Jacob is also right that everybody except Taylor Swift gets trashed on social media.
01:53And even she does sometimes.
01:54Even she does.
01:55So if you put it out there, yes, they will.
01:58They will troll you.
01:59Hi, I'm Tiffany from St. Louis.
02:02I think that it's a beautiful gesture.
02:04First of all, the internet needs to back off of Uncle Jesse because he can do no wrong
02:08in my eyes and anyone else's from the 90s.
02:11But it's a kind gesture from a friend who clearly cares about him.
02:16And I think that no one...
02:19You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who's never been affected by cancer.
02:23So it opens up the door for conversation and it brings awareness to something that people
02:29may have not known.
02:30You know, this person was suffering from it.
02:32Dave wasn't offended.
02:33I don't think anyone should be offended.
02:35It's a kind gesture.
02:36And it's beautiful.
02:37Yep.
02:38Well said.
02:39We're going to take a...
02:40By the way, John Stamos bald.
02:43Not it.
02:45Still good looking, though.
02:46Damn it.
02:47It's not.
02:48It's not the look.
02:52It's the look.
