Spring is here and there's a whole new way to chai at Starbucks that's

[Lauren]

made perfect for you.

[Blair Saki]

Choose your sweetness, dial it up or keep things light. Add a touch of pistachio, a hint of strawberry or vanilla, or make it a spring classic with lavender. Because this season there's endless ways to chai at Starbucks.

[Lauren]

I'm so excited to see you tonight.

[Blair Saki]

First Date, baby. First date. I can't wait. First date. What's up, you guys?

[Lauren]

Welcome to another episode of First Date. My guest today has a new stand up special out. It is called Live from the Big Dog. She also has an awesome podcast called Spaced out with with Blair Saki. Give it up for Blair Saki.

[Blair Saki]

Thank you, everyone. Thanks, Lauren. Thanks for having me.

[Lauren]

Thank you for coming on. How are you doing?

[Blair Saki]

I'm pretty well. Pretty easy flight landing here in Austin. Can't complain. How about you?

[Lauren]

I'm good.

[Blair Saki]

Gorgeous shoes. Thank you. Yeah, I, you know, I'm on a lot of podcasts, but I never see like a hot bitch in heels on. That's sad. Yeah, but that's, you know, just you're, you're, you're making a niche for yourself in the market.

[Lauren]

I wish I could wear them more often, but I really don't have many places to go.

[Blair Saki]

Same?

[Lauren]

Yeah, same. I come to my podcast and I'm like, I think I wear some fancy shoes today.

[Blair Saki]

I know. You know how much I respect for you. I usually wear sunglasses on podcasts and I decided not to even post flight.

[Lauren]

You have beautiful blue eyes. You shouldn't wear sunglasses.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, thanks. It's just I'm autistic and sometimes the lights and also I like to have like a barrier between me and the world. Yeah, yeah. But for you, I was like, I gotta look her in.

[Lauren]

I thank you. I appreciate that.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah, you're welcome.

[Lauren]

So you flew in today from where?

[Blair Saki]

La.

[Lauren]

Do you live in la?

[Blair Saki]

I live in la, yes.

[Lauren]

What part of la?

[Blair Saki]

I live in Los Feliz. Do you like it? Nobody get me. I do like it. Yeah. I like this past week because I started comedy in New York, so I lived there for a long time. Time. Even though I'm from California. And like this past week, sorry, New York people, I'm like, oh, it's 80 degrees. And you know, my delicate emotional self like every day, I'm like, yeah, I'm just so lucky to live in a sunny place.

[Lauren]

The weather is always perfect in la.

[Blair Saki]

It really is. I love it.

[Lauren]

I loved it too. I lived there for 16 years.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, you did? Where'd you live?

[Lauren]

I lived all over the place. I lived half of my time on the west side. I was going to guess west side, Santa Monica area. And then I moved more inland and I finished my stay there in West Hollywood.

[Blair Saki]

Okay.

[Lauren]

So I went, like, I decided to be more local.

[Blair Saki]

Right? More local, totally. Yeah.

[Lauren]

And I love both of those places the same.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. I mean, they're like different worlds sometimes. Like, I have a friend who lives in Venice. It's like, I may as well drive to Arizona. Yeah. Yeah. Or like, if a dude's like, I live in Venice, I'm like, not going to work.

[Lauren]

It's never going to work.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Not unless he has a helicopter.

[Blair Saki]

Right.

[Lauren]

He can escort you there.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. Unless you have an incredible helicopter with. Yeah. A good driver.

[Lauren]

Yeah. Are you dating anyone there?

[Blair Saki]

I'm not, no.

[Lauren]

How long have you been single?

[Blair Saki]

How long have I been single? Probably a couple years.

[Lauren]

What?

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

How?

[Blair Saki]

I don't prioritize it in any way, shape or form.

[Lauren]

You're not on any dating apps?

[Blair Saki]

I am, but I haven't gone on. I will. I'm on Hinge technically, but I never go on. And unfortunately I had a big loss last year, so my brother died and so I wasn't really, like, dating, so that kind of got me off dating. And, you know, like, the first question on those dates is like, how many siblings do you have? Yeah. You know, but. Yeah, I don't know.

[Lauren]

You don't care about it at all?

[Blair Saki]

I do, I think. But I guess at this current moment it's a little difficult with comedy. And I'm just like, I have, I don't know, one or two nights off a week and the last thing I feel like doing is going on my night off to go ask a stranger like a million questions.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

You know, one on one crowd work.

[Lauren]

That is kind of what it feels like.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. So where are you from? Yeah.

[Lauren]

Yeah. Wow, that's interesting.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Are you a very monogamous person? Like, do you when you're with someone?

[Blair Saki]

Yes. Yeah. I'm not like these. I love my family and I would say I'm super family oriented and so. And like, I'm the youngest of older brothers and I have an idea of, like, what I would want for a husband. And, you know, I'm not like that young anymore, so I'm not just like dating to date. If I'm going to date someone, I'm busy, like, so I'm pretty picky.

[Lauren]

What's your type?

[Blair Saki]

I don't have a type, like, physically, but you Know, ironclad values, family first, Smart, kind, patient, fun, athletic.

[Lauren]

Yeah. I can see why you've been single

[Blair Saki]

for a few years. Yeah, I know. And it's like, I just don't want to go look for this person. Like, I don't know. It's funny. Like, a few years ago, I decided I was going to push myself to go on 30 dates unhinged over a year.

[Lauren]

Okay.

[Blair Saki]

And it didn't. And it took me longer than a year as well.

[Lauren]

30 Dates is a lot.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. They weren't. It didn't. It wasn't first dates, though, just like, 30 dates.

[Lauren]

Oh, in general.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. And I was like, this will help me get out of my shell. And it was quite the challenge. And I did learn from doing that, though, that there are a lot of nice men out there. And so that was kind of a nice surprise.

[Lauren]

You. You need someone to come find you.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. Well, it's because, you know, being a comic and stuff, like, you have to be so alpha in your job. Like, I really want to be, like, a sub in my. In my relationship, you know? And, like, I'm from a very traditional family where my brothers and dad set standards of, like, what husband should be, you know, and you're extremely protective. And so I got that really, in my head. Yeah.

[Lauren]

That's good.

[Blair Saki]

I guess.

[Lauren]

I think so. I mean, I'm trying to raise my son, you know? I mean, he's only, like, one.

[Blair Saki]

Right.

[Lauren]

But I think about raising him, and I'm like, I really hope he finds a woman in his life that treats him with, like, love and not just, like, some manipulative bitch that I have to go kill, you know?

[Blair Saki]

Right.

[Lauren]

And so I try to be a good model for what he should totally, like, look for.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. Yeah, I know. My brothers, like, had told me they look for, like, qualities that. In my mom.

[Lauren]

That's great.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. That's like.

[Lauren]

This warms my heart.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. I'm like, yay. Yeah. Do you know what your second child is? Or you.

[Lauren]

It's another boy.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, you're gonna. Yeah. Okay.

[Lauren]

It's gonna be smackdown 247 at my house.

[Blair Saki]

Right? Yeah. My brothers were 11 months apart and older than me, and it was wild all the time.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Are you. Do you only have two older brothers?

[Blair Saki]

Yeah, well, one.

[Lauren]

One now, but two.

[Blair Saki]

I still say two.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Are you the year. So you're the youngest?

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

How old are you?

[Blair Saki]

Old.

[Lauren]

Okay, I'm older.

[Blair Saki]

I don't know how old you are,

[Lauren]

but I promise I'm older.

[Blair Saki]

No, I'm in my 30s, I'm not as young as you think. Like, I. It's just. I don't know. I do really value my freedom, and I did think, always want to be a mom, but I can't say I've always dreamed of getting to be. To be married.

[Lauren]

You know, I sent my husband a text the other day and I told him something similar. And I see a lot of women on Instagram that are always like, everything. All I ever wanted was to be a mom. And I don't relate.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, you love your husband.

[Lauren]

I love my husband.

[Blair Saki]

Well, see, I love. When I meet people like you, I really like dead. Seriously. Because I collect people that are in happy examples. Cause I observe a lot of people who I'm like, I wouldn't want that relationship. Yeah. And I do believe that marriage is more beneficial for men. Unless you get, like, the 10% where it's, like, a good situation for both people.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

You know, so. And I'm like, oh, if I don't have that, I don't want it.

[Lauren]

No. My relationship, I was all. Once I started dating him, I knew that I never wanted to be with anyone else.

[Blair Saki]

That's so sweet.

[Lauren]

But I never saw myself being a mom.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, really? Oh, so you're the opposite.

[Lauren]

Yeah. I was never like, oh, my gosh, let's have kids. I wanna be a mom. I need to be a mom. That's all I want. I, like, I got pregnant and I was shocked.

[Blair Saki]

Really?

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

I was like, ugh.

[Blair Saki]

You guys didn't, like, discuss it before?

[Lauren]

No, not really, but.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, okay.

[Lauren]

I guess six months before I got pregnant, he did mention to me that he was, like, ready to have kids, but it was like he was just walking from the living room to the kitchen and said it literally in passing.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

So I was like, okay, that's great. That's great to hear a guy that I'm with for three years say that he's ready for kids.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

But there was no, like, conversation.

[Blair Saki]

Right, right, right, right.

[Lauren]

And then six months later, I was pregnant, so I was like. I mean, I guess that's what happens when you don't have safe pregnancy, you know? And your husband's like, I'm ready for kids.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. But I think. But as long as you were cool with that, you know? Like, I know a lot of people also like that, where they thought they didn't want to have kids until they met someone that they could see themselves totally having kids with. How'd you meet your husband?

[Lauren]

He owns Terry Black's barbecue.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, cool.

[Lauren]

So I met him at his restaurant.

[Blair Saki]

Do you still eat there a lot?

[Lauren]

I just had barbecue just the other day. My son tried brisket from there for the first time ever, yesterday.

[Blair Saki]

Whoa.

[Lauren]

And he loved it. I had to cut off the salt and kind of, like, wash it off. Cause it's just so rich.

[Blair Saki]

So did you meet him there?

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

Wow. That's cool.

[Lauren]

I went with a friend of mine. A friend of mine said that he knew he wanted to go have lunch. And I was like, okay, I'm on a keto diet, so we have to go out.

[Blair Saki]

Perfect.

[Lauren]

Something high protein. He's like, let's go to Terry Black's. I know someone that works there. And I'm like, okay, but I'm not standing in that line. He's like, no, no, no. I know someone.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, fab.

[Lauren]

Never said he knew the owner or anything. So, anyway, I went.

[Blair Saki]

Were you wearing heels?

[Lauren]

No, I was wearing blue jean shorts, a white crop top, a hat.

[Blair Saki]

Okay. Wow.

[Lauren]

Hot and red vans.

[Blair Saki]

Okay. Perfect.

[Lauren]

So I was chilling.

[Blair Saki]

I'm taking notes.

[Lauren]

It was like I was going on the lake or something.

[Blair Saki]

That's why I need to leave my house more.

[Lauren]

Just go out to eat.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah, I love to do that.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

So I met him there at his restaurant.

[Blair Saki]

Okay. And then it was just on from there.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

He's like, can I take you out or did you stay or. What happened? Yeah.

[Lauren]

Afterwards, we went to. It was actually the day that I signed my contract for this podcast.

[Blair Saki]

Whoa.

[Lauren]

So I was like, cloud nine.

[Blair Saki]

I wonder what the astrology of that day was for you. Probably something crazy.

[Lauren]

But we had been working on this podcast for almost a year.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

And then we finally signed the contract. We had everything set, ready to go. I was, like, above and beyond excited.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

And then I went and had lunch. And then I met him, and we went to Soho House to celebrate. And I was, like, having cocktails and all this stuff, and I invited him to join us. And so he threw each other.

[Blair Saki]

Right. How old were you? Am I allowed to ask?

[Lauren]

I was.

[Blair Saki]

I'm gonna look at your ring. I love this man.

[Lauren]

He did good.

[Blair Saki]

Okay. Bitch. Absolutely. Absolutely. Does he have friends?

[Lauren]

He does.

[Blair Saki]

Don't listen to anything I said before.

[Lauren]

I was 35 when I met him.

[Blair Saki]

Love that. Perfect.

[Lauren]

And so I'm turning.

[Blair Saki]

This is all great news so far.

[Lauren]

I'm on baby number two.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. Oh, my God. Beautiful.

[Lauren]

And, yeah. So things just kind of worked out with this one.

[Blair Saki]

That's how I feel. For better or worse. And, like, I'm from Orange County. Which is basically like Texas of California. And like people can't understand. They can't like the idea of a woman like choosing to be single or like unmarried or childless is like, oh, that poor unwell woman. You know, Meanwhile, I'm like looking at all of them being like, I don't know, not all of them. Some of them seem very happy. Yeah, legitimately. But I can spot who's happy and who's not.

But you gotta have the right person.

[Blair Saki]

Totally. Well, I just think to sign your life, that's crazy. You know, and a lot of people are like, I'm seeing like the first wave of people getting divorced as well. And you know, and like part of me admires that they just went for it. You know, I'm a little bit, I'm pretty measured in my, in my decisions.

[Lauren]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blair Saki]

You know. Yeah, yeah. It's not also, it's not like dating, like when you're young where you're like at a bar and it's like a hot dude and you're like, oh, what's up? You look like you're in love with me. You know what I mean? It's like when you're in your 30s, you're like, oh, is this the person that's going to comfort me in the middle of the night when a parent dies?

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

You know what I mean?

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

Is this a person that's gonna, like, keep their cool when the baby shits on their face, you know? Like, that's real shit. It's much different when you're what you're looking for when you're dating.

[Lauren]

My guy's very cool, calm and collected. Like, 98% of the time, it's me who, like, loses my shit. And he'll always. He's very measured. So I don't have. So I don't meet.

[Blair Saki]

I love that. My.

[Lauren]

My same attitude.

[Blair Saki]

Right. A patient man.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

Grounding force.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. I would love to not be the grounding force.

[Lauren]

I can't be the grounding.

[Blair Saki]

I don't want to be.

[Lauren]

I have too much energy. I can't even do yoga.

[Blair Saki]

Right. I can't relate to the too much energy, But I love that for you so much.

[Lauren]

If I do yoga or anything calming, like breath work, I get so much anxiety because I feel like I'm just trying to suppress all of my natural feelings. And I'm like, there's not. This isn't right.

[Blair Saki]

Right. And everyone certified in breath work during the pandemic, I was really bored, in lockdown. I took a lot of courses.

[Lauren]

What other courses did you take?

[Blair Saki]

God, I couldn't stop fucking taking courses. I didn't know I was autistic yet. But I love to learn. I'm curious. A curiosity. Got this. I took, like, tm. I took Reiki. This was all online, so all the spiritual stuff. Yeah. You know, I was going through it, I guess, but breath work's crazy.

[Lauren]

It is crazy.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

I've done a lot of breath work. You have?

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

That's how I know it's not for me.

[Blair Saki]

Right. Well, I just remember the first time I did it, and I was like, I can't believe you could get this feeling in your body from.

[Lauren]

You cannot feel dry.

[Blair Saki]

You can feel hot DMT in our spinal fluid. And if you, like, get the right ratio of CO2 in your blood, it activates because I. And you can get, like, visions and stuff. It's crazy. But I never do it because it's so physical. And that's a lot. I'm so sleepy. Lauren.

[Lauren]

Are you?

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. This is probably a great advertisement for men listening. Do you mostly have women or men listening?

[Lauren]

I mean, probably mostly men.

[Blair Saki]

But I don't know. There's a lot. I try to, like, advertise. I try to really. I'm just like. I love an all female audience, but a lot of men. I mean. Just kidding. You guys are so welcome too.

[Lauren]

I'm trying to think, like, I really don't. I try not to look at comments anymore because people just love to hate.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, really?

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

They love to hate on you.

[Lauren]

Oh, yeah.

[Blair Saki]

A beautiful sunshine of a woman the more you shine. So true. So true. You hear that? People who are shining aren't fucking haters. Little keyboard warriors. Why don't you write some good shit? Put something good in the world.

[Lauren]

Seriously?

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. So your husband's hot friends?

[Lauren]

Well, they're mostly Asian friends. Oh, my husband's not Asian. He loves Asian people. And so I think he's friends with the entire Asian community of Austin. I'm not saying that Asians aren't hot. I'm just saying that they're mostly, like, 50 and older and they're all Asian.

[Blair Saki]

They're gonna clip this.

[Lauren]

Oh, 100%.

[Blair Saki]

They're gonna slow mo you on that

[Lauren]

if you are Asian in Austin. I bet. You know, my husband, he's like an Asian collector.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, wow. Collects them all.

[Lauren]

They're like Pokemon.

[Blair Saki]

He just likes better and better.

[Lauren]

I'm serious. It's. Every time that we have a party, I'm like, invite all your friends. It's like we invited Vietnam to come over and hang out. We really did. I promise. And I love them because they bring great gifts to your birthday.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, really?

[Lauren]

They're bougie as fuck.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, that's really nice.

[Lauren]

And then they always bring food.

[Blair Saki]

Right.

[Lauren]

I mean, these are, like, great friends to have.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

White people don't really do that.

[Blair Saki]

I know, I know.

[Lauren]

They bring champagne and alcohol and drinks and, like, nice ones.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah, that's more my speed. When I'm, like, going to something way too late, and I'm like a single, single bachelor waste of a guest.

[Lauren]

I just show up and eat whatever you have and I'll drink whatever you have. And I should contribute more, but I don't. I just contribute with my presence.

[Blair Saki]

Right. Same.

[Lauren]

Asians aren't like that.

[Blair Saki]

They're good people. I. Yeah, I want to contribute more. I'd love to be, you know, a. Make a nice, you know, macaroni. A beautiful order. Show up. Forethought. Went to the store ahead of time. Yeah. This is why I sometimes doubt about. I'm like, am I ready to be a mother? I know if I had a child Like, I would. I would absolutely clock in and I'd be such a mom because I'm very maternal.

[Lauren]

You jump too?

[Blair Saki]

Yes, but I'm also just so exhausted already. I don't even know where the. The energy will come from.

[Lauren]

You'll find it.

[Blair Saki]

Maybe I need to be really rich to be like a stand up comic

[Lauren]

and a mom or just find someone who's really rich.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. Well, I mean, that sounds great. I did. I did freeze my eggs when I was young, so I got them all on ice.

[Lauren]

That's great.

[Blair Saki]

Should I decide to go to that route.

[Lauren]

Should you?

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

You are ready.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. I've got some offers for some donors as well. Have you? But you know, I'm very picky.

[Lauren]

Pauly Shore hit you up? He hit me up. I love Pauly Shore to pieces.

[Blair Saki]

I'm laughing because he already told me that. He already, like, we had a conversation about it and he told me how he locked someone in already. And I was like. I'm like wondering. I was like, he did.

[Lauren]

He found someone.

[Blair Saki]

I don't know if he was joking or not. We'll see. I would tell you, but.

[Lauren]

Yeah, you're too pretty for him to joke like that if he didn't really lock someone in. I don't think he would ever lie to you about that. No. Polly Shore has been looking for someone to have a baby with. Does not need them to be present in the relationship whatsoever.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, Polly. Polly wants baby, right? No, I'm not giving my.

[Lauren]

We might clip that. Just put a pin in that part. I'm not sure I want to throw Polly under the bus.

[Blair Saki]

I almost said the name, but I was like, I don't know if I should do that if that's true or what if he was joking or not. But every time I talk to Paulie, he starts doing my voice like, he's like, hey. But I'm like, you have the voice.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

Coming at me like I'm. I'm walking around with the voice.

[Lauren]

Well, speaking of all your courses, have you ever been on master class?

[Blair Saki]

No. What's that? Oh, it's like where the course queen

[Lauren]

and you haven't been on masterclass now.

[Blair Saki]

I mean, this was a moment in time. I don't have time now. This was like in lockdown, you know, like L. A. It was like, if you go outside, you are in big trouble, you know? So I was just quite busy doing a secondary education while I couldn't tour.

[Lauren]

You didn't date anybody during lockdown?

[Blair Saki]

No, I Did no one I'd like to mention, you know.

[Lauren]

Yeah, no, same.

[Blair Saki]

I have this beautiful thing called selective memory, you know. But I'd really, if I was to date someone, I would like to date someone who I feel would elevate me, you know, of course, like, like who would challenge me in all ways.

[Lauren]

Would you ever date another comedian?

[Blair Saki]

No, I've done that. I have been down that route and I learned experientially that I don't feel as I age that will be the direction. Looking to go.

[Lauren]

The way that you cartwheel gymnastics around saying no.

[Blair Saki]

I really cherish them as friends. They are beautiful. Some of the most beautiful friendships that a girl could have. So blessed to know them platonically. I don't see them really as sexual beings anymore.

[Sponsor Voice]

But

[Blair Saki]

I really did have some nice long term relationships. Took me a long time to bounce back from. Yeah. And so yeah, I'm going a different route now I think. As far as potential for marriage goes.

[Lauren]

What's the longest relationship you've ever been in?

[Blair Saki]

In my 20s I was in an on and off one for like seven, eight years.

[Lauren]

Wow.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. Good thing we didn't get married. Got more all the love in the world to him though. We're still cool. He's actually how I got into comedy and. Yeah. And then a few after that and I think I'm good there. What would happen is like I'm actually pretty shy and like it's difficult for me to get into a relationship and so I, I'd get someone who was like so persistent and you know those guys that don't take no for an answer. I wouldn't say are maybe the best boyfriends that I think they're more about like the chase and then you know, I'd find myself in and like once I committed I'd be like, wait, hold up, this isn't what, what I was advertised, you know. And then it would take me about like two more years to leave. And so then now, you know, it's been a while. Single. Yeah, it's hard, it's hard to get past my walls.

[Lauren]

Can you recall the worst, one of the worst dates you've ever had?

[Blair Saki]

Yes, very easily. Okay. Well one time when I was young. This isn't in, this isn't close to being recent but I, one of my girlfriend, I had like told one of my girlfriends I like redheads. But you know, I am really attracted to like 50% of redheads.

[Lauren]

Really?

[Blair Saki]

Yeah, I.

[Lauren]

They have souls.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah, I think so. I would, I'm going to go with yes on that. And what I like about a redhead, a hot one, you know, Like, I like that guy from Billions and Homeland. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Like, I think he's really sexy. I think he's a widower now.

[Sponsor Voice]

Really.

[Blair Saki]

And. But, like, they. Because, you know, they got shit as little kids, I feel like they had to cultivate, like, a pretty spry personality and charisma. And so sometimes they have that X factor that I find attractive.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

A redhead. So anyways, my friend think heard redhead and thought, I'll set her up with it. Just anyone, I guess.

[Sponsor Voice]

She.

[Blair Saki]

She's like, we have a double date tomorrow. And we partied real. This was when I was very young. We partied quite hard the night before. And the next day, just devastatingly hungover. This dude pulls up in, like, a white BMW with, like, a white Lacoste sweater, like, tied around his shoulder. He's looking like a 80s high school bully, you know?

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

And we're just hung over to death. We get in the car. He. I don't know. He's like, weird friend that she's on the date with. And I, I. We're just looking awful, feeling awful. He's blasting techno, driving like a goddamn maniac. I'm not. I'm trying, like, not to throw up, like, just on the way. We're going to a movie theater. He, like, wants us to sit apart. And I was like, oh, no, I'll sit with her. Whatever. I'll sit with my friend. I pass out during the. The movie. I'm so hungover. We. The movie wakes up. We wake up in the movie. The first thing, I slept the whole time. Go out to the trash can, throw up in the lobby. My. He asked me for my number. I unintentionally give him my brother's number because it's off by one digit. And this wasn't even on purpose. I would never do that, by the way. I don't have that type of calculation inside me. If you're wondering. And he texts. This guy's just not getting it, by the way. I'm like, why he would even want to go on a date after that performance by me? I mean, he wasn't well, you know? And then he texts my brother, and my. And he is like, oh, actually, this is Blair's brother. And he's like, oh, shit, does she always do this? And he's like, no, she's never done this before. And he's like, I don't know. Know, man. I think you should, like. And this is without me. I went home and took a nap. I didn't know any of this happened. And my brother's like, I think there's a lot of other fish in the sea and you should try someone else. And. And the dude was like, thanks, man. If you ever come to la, I'd love to hang out. It was, you know, did they ever hang out? No. My brother would have hung out with some weird kid.

[Lauren]

I didn't know if this story was gonna take like a plot twist.

[Blair Saki]

No. But I just couldn't believe when I woke up that day that all of this had gone down, you know? I was still reeling from the night before. Worst double date. Sorry to that guy. Sorry to that guy for calling you an 80s high school bully and for throwing up in front of you.

[Lauren]

Well, he shouldn't have been wearing a Lacoste sweater over his shoulders like a 60 year old golfer.

[Blair Saki]

He shouldn't have been driving like that. Honestly, it could look past the sweater.

[Lauren]

Blasting techno.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah, we said we were very hungover. Look, we were like 23 year old girls. Okay.

[Lauren]

I think he was trying to get you to have a second window. Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

It just didn't happen.

[Lauren]

Never. You should never go to a theater for that.

[Blair Saki]

I know.

[Lauren]

There's a.

[Blair Saki]

What is.

[Lauren]

There's a place in la. I can't remember if we're still there or not. I think it was on La Cienega and it's like a day party. Like, it's like. It's almost like a club. Oh, my gosh.

[Blair Saki]

This sounds fun.

[Lauren]

What is it called? It's like you go there for brunch.

[Blair Saki]

I love a day party. I actually prefer that. And then to go to bed.

[Lauren]

I thought it started with a B. It is on La Cienega. I can't remember what it is, but it's like a day. A day club.

[Blair Saki]

Sounds fun.

[Lauren]

And when I was in LA and I was dating someone, he loved to go to this one place, this day party place, and just get so extremely trashed.

[Blair Saki]

Right.

[Lauren]

And I could not hang.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

I would lose my purse.

[Blair Saki]

Right.

[Lauren]

And I never. I'm not the kind of person to lose my stuff.

[Blair Saki]

Sure.

[Lauren]

Ever. But every time I'd go to this place, it was like I would just black out, turn into a different person, lose my.

[Blair Saki]

Well, this man was putting you through the ring. Or like the survivor of death.

[Lauren]

Yeah, like a day in or something. But no, he was just a party animal. It didn't last long, but.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah, I know. That's the thing. Like I. I'm. I can't do that anymore? No, now with this schedule. It's crazy.

[Lauren]

I. I don't remember the last time I went to a club, but if

[Blair Saki]

I was, it would have to be during the day. Yeah, I'm not. You're not catching me at a night. Yeah. No way. And we were talking about shoes. Like, I can't. I can't even imagine myself wearing these hot shoes. Like, I used to when I was young, like, and going out for the night and, like, standing to a club.

[Lauren]

I'd be wearing vans. Yeah, I know. I wouldn't dress up for a club. I know. That's, like, when people dress up. For me to go to a club, I'd have to be so casual and so comfortable.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

I only dress up and wear heels for my podcast and fancy dinners.

[Blair Saki]

I love that. I think that's about me too. But not the podcast, just the dinner once in a while, usually with my parents.

[Lauren]

What kind of. What's your idea of a perfect first date?

[Blair Saki]

Perfect first date. I love, like, a sexy Italian dinner. My family's Italian. My dad's full Italian. Like, Italian to me is, like, very romantic. I think that's cute. I also love, like, I wouldn't want to do this on a first date, but, you know, once we were dating and involved, I love nature, so I love, like, outdoor stuff. Beach, camping, stuff like that. I don't know, trips, whatever. Yeah. Hiking, which I know a lot of girls. That's not a pick me answer, bitch. Okay, I said dinner first. I said once. We're already involved. Okay, so. But I do love being. I don't. I feel like I never got to be in nature.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

I feel like California is a hard place to. To find nature.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. Or especially the nature that I'm craving, which I feel like is like sequoia. Yes. Some like that, some real. Where there's, like, pines, you know, there's like a rustic stream.

[Lauren]

I think the best LA has is, like, Runyon Canyon.

[Blair Saki]

I never make it over to Runyon Canyon, but I don't have a problem with it because I'm like, if I'm gonna be burning calories, like, the least I could have is, like, entertainment to watch, which is the spectacle of the people.

[Lauren]

Yeah, it is that you're people watching.

[Blair Saki]

For sure. There some cool hikes of, like, real nature people in la, there's a bunch with, like, waterfalls that are, like, not that far away. But, you know, I haven't put time and focus, which is what a nice man, healthy man could do for me. Yeah. Yeah. I Feel like throw me over his shoulder, like a rucksack up, going up. And I'll be like, yeah, this is what I need. A man throwing me. A big, strong man. Big thighs. Big thighs. I know I could procreate with this man. You know, he probably knows how to like. I do like those TikTok videos where that man has a huge knife and he's like making a four course, like huge steak on some river with a cast iron pan.

[Lauren]

Oh, yeah.

[Blair Saki]

I'm always like, that's a fucking manly dude.

[Lauren]

Has an axe.

[Blair Saki]

Yes. And he always has an axe. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm like, that's some shit I could get behind. That's the type of Thor man I need.

[Lauren]

They understand asmr. They always film those videos with like, just the crackling and wrestling and like.

[Blair Saki]

Right.

[Lauren]

Yeah. I've pay attention to the sound.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. No, I'm like, that is a rugged man that I could protect me in like an apocalypse. You know, our family, I also get

[Lauren]

those kinds of videos on guys cooking. They'll always be. They're like, they'll. They'll like spin the pan and like, put it down. And then they're like, salt bay.

[Blair Saki]

Yes.

[Lauren]

And then they're like, you know, they're like, do their hair.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Do something. And then.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, yeah, I remember salt Bailey.

[Lauren]

And then it's like fire. Like, they're like sex videos.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. They're like pyrotechnics. And that is how you make a sandwich. Yeah. No, I'm like, oh, my God, I've never seen it made like that. Yeah.

[Lauren]

I missed all the ingredients. Let me watch this again.

[Blair Saki]

I know. No, those guys are. There's. I follow a few that are like, really sexy and they have, like, incredible taste and like their house. I'm like, oh, it's styled nicely.

[Lauren]

It's like dim lighting.

[Blair Saki]

Yes. And they have, like great music tastes. They have great clothes if they're wearing it, like. Yes, if they are.

[Lauren]

Some of them wear, like, the thing unbuttoned down to their, like, navel so you can see that they have abs.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

These guys know what they're doing.

[Blair Saki]

Well, I. So I always try to focus on, like, what I would want in a man where I try not to make it things that are surface level or like, whatever. I'm like, oh, I would love if he cook, but that's not a requirement. But I think that's very sexy. A man that cooks. Yeah, yeah. Or like grills.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. Oh, my God. Daddy, you need a grill for me, Daddy, I Need some meats. I need some grilled meats. Keep up with my protein intake.

[Lauren]

I like traveling in a relationship.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, really? How, How. What was your first trip that you went on with your husband? Iceland. Oh, I want to go to Iceland.

[Lauren]

So this was cool.

[Blair Saki]

How far in?

[Lauren]

Three months in.

[Blair Saki]

That's sexy.

[Lauren]

So I met him like, around July 4th. So we always say that July 4th is like our anniversary of when we met.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

My birthday's in September. So right around September, he was like, do you wanna go somewhere for your birthday? And I was like, yeah, that'd be really, really fun. He's like, okay, we could go anywhere in the world.

[Blair Saki]

Where do you wanna go? Wait, that is like the hottest thing I've ever heard in my life.

[Lauren]

I was like. And I knew that I was, like, in love with this guy. So I was, like, open to going anywhere with him. I wasn't like. It wasn't too soon to like, you

[Blair Saki]

already knew it and you were like, a little bit older, like you'd had experience. I was into it. Yeah.

[Lauren]

I was like, this is bad to know. Yeah. So he said, we can go anywhere in the world. And so it took me a minute to think. I was like, I'll get back to you. I want to go somewhere. But let me think about it. Like, give me a minute.

[Blair Saki]

Right.

[Lauren]

So the next day, he had the back of like, of an envelope like that he had gotten mail. And he just took the back of like, some of his mail and he wrote down 10 places all around the world. And he told me to circle one. He's like, here. I wrote out like a bunch. There's a 10 options. You see?

[Blair Saki]

This is my fucking dream. I am so happy for you. You are literally showing me what is possible right now.

[Lauren]

They're out there.

[Blair Saki]

Continue. This is incredible.

[Lauren]

I circle Iceland only because I knew that the Aurora Borealis was like, in like the September range. And I've always wanted to see me too.

[Blair Saki]

That's on my bucket list. The Aurora Borealis. Yeah.

[Lauren]

So I told him that that was why I wanted to go there. And so he booked it, like, that day. And we went for a week and we like, we flew over. We landed in Reykjavik and we stayed for a couple days and then we flew somewhere else. I can't remember where else we went. We went somewhere else and then we went. Or maybe we went back to New York, I don't know. But we flew somewhere else. It was a two part trip. Because you get pretty bored in Iceland after like four days. Unless you like, really like the nature stuff, but it's like being on Mars, right?

[Blair Saki]

Did you go in that. Those pool. Those famous pools that. From the Kardashians.

[Lauren]

So there's. There's the Blue Lagoon.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah, I think that's it.

[Lauren]

I don't recommend the Blue Lagoon.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, you don't?

[Lauren]

But I do recommend Sky Lagoon. Okay, so Sky Lagoon is not advertised like the Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon is kind of smells like chlorine.

[Blair Saki]

Oh. Oh, yeah. You can't get your head wet, right?

[Lauren]

If you do, your hair will turn to straw. I know this. I tried it and I was. And they give you, like, a conditioner to put in your hair.

[Blair Saki]

It not strong enough.

[Lauren]

Conditioner from the gods could not help you, right? It literally. No nothing. My hair was done right. And I was so. I was so pissed, I couldn't brush it. I mean, it was bad. So we went to this other place called Sky Lagoon, and Sky Lagoon is much more natural. And it's got. I don't even know how to explain it. You're, like, in a. They carved out a maze out of the side of a mountain.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, that sounds really cool.

[Lauren]

And it's like 110 degrees. And there's a bar carved out of the mountain. So you can go to the bar. I have to go here in the water? Like, up to here. And you can drink champagne. And they have a sauna with a glass wall on the inside of this mountain. So you're overlooking the ocean. It was the most.

[Blair Saki]

This sounds like the most Sky Lagoon. This sounds like the most magical thing I've ever heard in my life.

[Lauren]

It is the most magical thing I've ever done. I've never done anything cooler than the Sky Lagoon ever in my life.

[Blair Saki]

Wait, so then how long after that did you get engaged? It sounds like a dream come true.

[Lauren]

How? Like three years. I didn't. I didn't get. So I got married a month before my son was born.

[Blair Saki]

Oh.

[Lauren]

And we went to the clerk's office.

[Blair Saki]

Did you not want to get married? What, girl?

[Lauren]

I had to. I would ask this guy every day if we were gonna get married.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, he just didn't.

[Lauren]

He just didn't hop too right. So then I told him, I said, all right, fine, you don't want to get married. But here's the deal. If I pop this baby out and I don't have your last name, he's getting mine, right?

[Blair Saki]

I would do the same thing. Yeah.

[Lauren]

He'll be Jackson Compton.

[Blair Saki]

Right?

[Lauren]

I'm down with that.

[Blair Saki]

Right.

[Lauren]

And he was like, I Don't think so. And I was like, pay up, bitch. Then I guess we're gonna have to

[Blair Saki]

go to the first office.

[Lauren]

So we did. So we went to the curse. We got married. Pulled a number. It was like at a meat market. You just, like, take your number.

[Blair Saki]

Whoa.

[Lauren]

And you just, like, go up. And they're like, okay, here's your paperwork. And then we were married. And we still haven't had our wedding. And he proposed to me on my birthday last year. Well, a year after we got married.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, so he never wanted to get married.

[Lauren]

No. He would have been fine just having a baby mama.

[Blair Saki]

Right, right, right, right, right.

[Lauren]

Yeah. But that. That wasn't going to fly.

[Blair Saki]

Right. I'm learning, so I wish I was taking notes. I guess I could just rewatch this when it comes out. I'm learning so much.

[Lauren]

He's so romantic and charming. Right. Perfect. And all this stuff. But had no desire to get married.

[Blair Saki]

Right.

[Lauren]

Wanted kids.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

Bad. He want. He's always wanted to be a dad.

[Blair Saki]

Is he older than you?

[Lauren]

No, he's six months younger.

[Blair Saki]

Wow. Oh, my God. This is magical.

[Lauren]

And he always reminds me of it, too.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, really?

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice]

God.

[Lauren]

I'm like, yeah, I am older than you, so shut the up and pay some respect.

[Blair Saki]

I love you.

[Lauren]

To your elders.

[Blair Saki]

Yes, it is. Do you think that. I do think that, like, women are starting to look younger than the men their age. Do you notice that men do tend

[Lauren]

to look more weathered?

[Blair Saki]

Well, not if they, like, sometimes. Not if they take care of themselves.

[Lauren]

You know, I don't want to.

[Sponsor Voice]

You know what?

[Lauren]

I don't want a guy to take care of himself, really.

[Blair Saki]

I want a guy, in certain ways, to take care of themselves. Like, work out, like, healthy, but not. I don't need, like, some Botox spray tan, dude. Yeah, no, that's. That's. There's a lot of that in la. And that's real. I'm not attracted to that.

[Lauren]

Yeah. You know, I can't really tell if a girl has had Botox.

[Blair Saki]

Right.

[Lauren]

Like, to me, I'm just like, well,

[Blair Saki]

all of our eyes have adjusted to it. It looks normal on women. Yeah. But for men, if a guy has Botox, I could spot it no matter how. Well done.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

300ft away.

[Lauren]

I'm like, whoa.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. A hundred. A hundred percent.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

I say, oh, honey, oh, honey. You should stick with those crow's feet, baby. You look wise. You know, I'm trying to get some. I'm trying to get some knowledge, you know, I love. Like, I could easily date a dude in his 40s, like, that's 10 years older, who takes great care of themselves.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

And it doesn't matter if they have gray hair or anything like that.

[Lauren]

Shape is important, too.

[Blair Saki]

But it's. It's. But that's. Because that's, like, the lifestyle that I like. Yeah. And I grew up a hardcore athlete. My family. And that's the type of stuff that I like.

[Lauren]

You were an athlete?

[Blair Saki]

Yes.

[Lauren]

What were you in?

[Blair Saki]

Well, I played volleyball my whole life. I played volleyball at UCLA and. But I did, like, everything. I surfed, tennis, soccer, all of it.

[Lauren]

So you said that you dated a guy that got you into comedy. What happened?

[Blair Saki]

We broke up, but we were from the same hometown, and, like, he had just started, and I. We actually went to the same high school, and then I moved to New York. I hadn't thought about comedy or anything like that. I didn't even know about comedy. He took me to my first comedy show, and then I moved to New York for grad school to become a novelist. And then accidentally, we broke up and I started comedy. I thought it was, like, some, like, silly thing I was doing in New York. Like, no one would know. Like, just, you know, whatever. And then I didn't ever think it was gonna become my career.

[Lauren]

Well, how did it. How did it blossom?

[Blair Saki]

I got on this MTV show, like, two years in, and then it was just sort of, I guess, on from there. Yeah. So I didn't become a novelist. Instead, I did pranks on mtv. And then, you know, it's been a long journey since then.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

What do you like to talk about the most in comedy?

[Blair Saki]

What do I like to talk about? I'm, like, a real meathead on stage. I don't know. Like, I like to yell and scream about crazy shit. I don't know anything from. A lot. I'm talking a lot about mental health right now. But, like, I like to talk about food. I like absurd. I like absurd stuff. I don't know. I'm not really sure. Whenever people ask you that, like, how do you describe your comedy? I'm like, I have no idea. I'm insane.

[Lauren]

All I ever talked about pretty much were my relationships.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. I talk a lot about, you know, I guess where I'm at with, like, do I want to get married? I thought I did. I'm not sure. Like, am I. What would it be like this if. Would I like it if it was like this? But then I'm like, is that even real lately? I'm like, do I. If I really, really wanted to get married. Wouldn't I be my. As my dad said, usually when you want something, you go get it. I'm like, if I did want it, wouldn't I be trying to do it?

[Lauren]

Yeah, you would be actively trying to date more. Yeah, but you're not.

[Blair Saki]

I know, but like two years ago I had a dating email and, and I was trying to go on some dates there because I was like, oh. And I went on some dates like on the road and because I was like, well, if I'm always on the road, what am I gonna do? And I'm not like out hooking up with strangers like these dudes, you know.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Blair Saki]

I've never hooked up with someone on the road.

[Lauren]

What is the most romantic thing that's ever happened to you?

[Blair Saki]

Oh, I've had a lot of like, I will say for my relationships that didn't work out, I, I did date some very romantic people, which I love because I think that I am actually really romantic and I'm very soft hearted and I think that's why I'm so avoidant and picky is because like I really want that. But I mean I had the one boyfriend paid for me to freeze my eggs, was we're going to get married. I've just taken on trips, I don't know, send me massages.

[Lauren]

Have you ever done anything romantic for someone?

[Blair Saki]

Yeah, I have. I like, but mine's probably like more thoughtful, like made. I've done a bunch of stuff like, like Pinterest shit like where I write something I love about them on like a, on each card for a deck of cards, like jars of like writing like special memories jokes, like, stuff like that. I've written like, I've made multiple books for like handmade books about like what I love about them. Like stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah.

[Lauren]

Wow, that's very thoughtful.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah, I love thoughtful stuff.

[Lauren]

That's really sweet.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. And I mean like this Iceland thing is incredible. Anywhere in the world. Circle one out of ten. Like I would, oh my God, I'm wet right now thinking of it. That's incredible. But also like a man writing a thoughtful card is like a huge deal.

[Lauren]

Yeah, it is.

[Blair Saki]

Yeah. Like, and when I've had like boyfriends, like, forget my birthday and I'm like. And they're like, I'm like, you couldn't have written a fucking card, you know?

[Lauren]

Yeah, yeah, them. That's why I didn't last.

[Blair Saki]

Oh, totally. But you know, you're young and dumb and you think someone's like hot and charismatic and you're, like, attracted to them and you're like, oh, that's what matters. Yeah. And then, you know, time evolves.

[Lauren]

Well, where can people find you?
