[Adam Pally]

They're like, instead of our. It's like in some ways they're nice. In some ways I like don't like them because we don't talk to each other, see each other as much. So it's like we're. We're supposed to do it here. And it's like, I don't know if I really.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. We usually FaceTime at least once a week, if not more. And now we do one where Bernie and. And Devin listen.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. Which is.

[John Gabris]

And I guess that eventually America. And by America, I mean whatever. 4000 absolute freaks are listening to our growing every day.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. Well, I'm really excited about our weed Gummy. I mean, like, we haven't talked about. We're downplaying it a lot because I think we're both, we're still waiting to.

[John Gabris]

Hear a little bit more information.

[Adam Pally]

I think we both like, once the deal happened, we're both like, awesome. And then we're used to every deal just never happening after that.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. So we're like in the don't jinx it territory.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. We don't want to get excited.

[John Gabris]

We're in that phase of where you just got through traffic and you're praying the person you're driving with doesn't go. Looks pretty clear from here on out, cuz, you know, that just means the exact.

[Adam Pally]

You're at. We're at a craft stable where someone's about to be taught how to play and they go, so don't roll seven.

[John Gabris]

And you're like, no, no, you're. You take all.

[Adam Pally]

Take it all back. Take it down hard ways. Leave the hard ways. Just in case he's a nut.

[John Gabris]

Leave that hard 10. Baby. We haven't gone to Vegas since we got our dice tattoos.

[Adam Pally]

I know. I'm jonesing for it as well. I have a, I have a bachelor party trip on the horizon with my last, you know, for the listeners who don't know, you know, the situation. My, my mother and her sister moved to the same town in New Jersey when I was like 12. So I was raised with five my two sisters and then three nephews who I'm all like super close with the whole family. It's like a know more like my. They're cousins, but they're. Oh, they're my cousins, but I think of them as nephews. They're like, they're your cousins. Older than.

[John Gabris]

But they're like brothers. But you are like ten years or eight years older than.

[Adam Pally]

Older than them. But I, but I love them so much. And the youngest one is getting married.

[John Gabris]

And the fact, this is how, this is how to explain how close you are to your cousins that I'm friends with all three of them.

[Adam Pally]

You know what I mean? Of. Of them, independently of each cousin, you have your own relationship with each one. But Jesse, the youngest, who is by far the most successful, smartest, is getting married and it will be in Las Vegas in September. I don't want to tell you freaks when. Yeah, but I am. I. It's going to be a mess. And I think I'm going to go like everyone was talking about when they're going. And I'm like, well, I guess, I guess Wednesday to Monday sounds like the appropriate amount for a Major bachelor party weekend, right?

[John Gabris]

Well, if you're there, like a Wednesday night that feels like. I'm not impeding too much on the bachelor party. If I pop by Wednesday, games come.

[Adam Pally]

On Wednesday and Thursday. Meanwhile, they already told me to invite you.

[John Gabris]

I'm embarrassed how available I am.

[Adam Pally]

I know. Me too. I was like, I'll be there. I actually have nothing going on.

[John Gabris]

I have a bachelor party coming up too. My youngest brother is getting married. We're going to BLEEP City on bleep. I don't want any of you freaks knowing. Just kidding. We're running through the six with our woes.

[Adam Pally]

You go to Toronto.

[John Gabris]

I'm going Toronto, baby.

[Adam Pally]

I love.

[John Gabris]

I want to go to where? Every place. Where they filmed the scene from Twisted Metal Season. Can I give you.

[Adam Pally]

Can I give you at least. I mean, you're. You're definite. Got to hit prime seafood, right?

[John Gabris]

Got a res already.

[Adam Pally]

All right, great. Good, good, good, good. Because it is whatever you've heard, hype exceeds, in my opinion, in my opinion, one of my favorite restaurants in the world. And not just because Maddie's the man. Just because. Also, the food is unbelievable. I've eaten there probably more times than I've been in production in Toronto, which means that I've gone on days off. Whenever we have a guest in, we let them know. Don't. There's no gift bag or anything. Sorry.

[John Gabris]

Back off. Yeah, yeah, well, we're gonna pay you, and as a matter of fact, we're gonna give you a gift bag, but we're gonna, like, pull some things from it.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. And we had. We got hungry, so if.

[John Gabris]

So we ate 6,600 milligrams of functional edibles, which, by the way, is like 28 gummies.

[Adam Pally]

The other day, my friends were over and they were appalled. I don't know if I told you this story last night, but they were appalled at how much. How many edibles it takes for me to feel anything like, appalled.

[John Gabris]

Well, dude, I have to tell people constantly when I bust out gummies, they're like, how many should I have? I'm like, half of one. I'm having a dozen.

[Adam Pally]

They were like. I was. They were totally shocked. I was like, you know what? I'm not gonna take from your bag. I have a bag upstairs that I'll go get and then we'll just be. They were like, why are you gonna. It's not like chips. And I was like, that kind of is to me.

[John Gabris]

But Eaton are our co sponsor that.

[Adam Pally]

Who are helping are into microdosing.

[John Gabris]

They're micro doing. And so what we learned is if you do a lot of micro doses, it's a dose. So you know, just like if I you three times with my micro penis, it counts as one.

[Adam Pally]

One.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, sort of almost.

[Adam Pally]

Are you talking full or thrusts?

[John Gabris]

Don't wait. You're supposed to thrust more than once.

[Adam Pally]

Wow. You just do it. You really like, you do like beer pong?

[John Gabris]

I do direct deposit.

[Adam Pally]

Your drive thru.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, I need, I need one of those eating gummies that we should make a brand that makes you last longer.

[Adam Pally]

Whatever that you want to hear. Funny drive thru story that happened to me a couple days ago. I got recognized at a drive thru ATM because my kids, you know, all three are at sleepaway camp. And the number one thing they've asked for is singles for the vending machine. Because there's a vending machine there. And of course they like ran out in the first week of the $20 singles we gave them. Supposed to last a visiting day, so. And you know like when the kids are gone, they ask for one thing and I'm like, whatever you like. I get them like a milk, like the highest class version. Whatever.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

You know, because I'm so guilty about it. So I stopped at a, like a chase on the way from, from the city to Long island. And I was like, hey, could I get a 200 singles in the, in the drive thru line? And the woman was like, yeah. Are you that guy.

[John Gabris]

Who'S addicted to strip clubs?

[Adam Pally]

What guy? Because like I was like, what guy?

[John Gabris]

They got like a picture of a sexual predator who looks just like you.

[Adam Pally]

Up in these glasses.

[John Gabris]

Are you that guy?

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. It's like so it's like, what? But you know, my immensely deep need for, for any love and recognition was about to be like, that's me. But I was like, what guy? And then she's like, no, you're not him. Forget it. And I was like, oh, okay, thank God. And then she's like, anyway, I'll be back with your 200 singles. And then she came back, she's like, actually I need your driver's license. Are you a chase member? And I was like, yeah, yeah. So I gave her my driver's license. And then I saw like the other people working like a ripple go through.

[John Gabris]

As they like googled you or everyone.

[Adam Pally]

Going, I don't know who that is.

[John Gabris]

I don't know that.

[Adam Pally]

I don't know. That is like you could see people like just doing that like the universal expression like leave me alone, Deborah. I don't know who that is. So she comes back and she goes, this is a really odd question. I'm just a huge Mindy Project fan. Could we take a picture with the 200 singles? And I was like, I'd really. I had no problem taking a picture. I'd really, like, rather not take the 200 singles. And she's like, yeah, but I just want people to believe this story. And I was like, I'm not taking this to, like, this for my kids. And she was like, okay, yeah, you're.

[John Gabris]

Taking your kids to a strip club. When I was like, no, no.

[Adam Pally]

God. What? I was like, no picture. Just give me the money. I'm getting out of here.

[John Gabris]

I love that moment. I've had that before, where I'll be like. I was at a bar by my mom's florid apartment, and I was like, yeah, let me get two Peronis or whatever. And that guy, like, when he handed me the pronies, he gave me the look like, where do we know each other from? Or whatever. And I just kind of, like. I always, like, give the smile, like, yes, I'm whoever. I'm Jack Black, whoever you think I am. Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to. I just wanted to end. And then you. When he goes to get the Bronies, I see him and a co worker, like, on their phones, and they're clearly Googling, like, fat beard guy guy. Code, question mark. That beard guy.

[Adam Pally]

Such a horror.

[John Gabris]

I mean, Minecraft movie, question mark.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. I mean, they had my driver. They were Googling my name. They had, like, my driver's license. It was still reverberating through the bank. I don't know who that is. And they were like, deborah, I'm working a job here. Meanwhile, I'm outside, like, oh, my God, 200 singles is so weird. And then she called me on it because I. She was like, I mean, I guess it is weird for, like, a TV actor to come and be like, can I have 200 singles in, like, Massapequa? What else do we have to catch up on? What else. What else is.

[John Gabris]

No, I think that's.

[Adam Pally]

Let's catch up on you. We should call this. This portion. New business.

[John Gabris]

I'm doing Chicago.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, yeah?

[John Gabris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Pally]

I'm doing a list of restaurants. Like, how long. Where are you going? Where you staying?

[John Gabris]

Tell me everything about staying in my. I'm performing in Bucktown, and my hotel is near there because I like to not Uber to and from shows.

[Adam Pally]

What hotel, if you don't mind me asking?

[John Gabris]

[Adam Pally]

It's a great place. I play there. It's so fun.

[John Gabris]

Oh yeah, I'm testing like if there's an audience for me doing stand, there.

[Adam Pally]

Will be an audience. There's so many. Chicago is the best food city in America by far, I think hands down. And there's so many options that I'm almost reluctant to like put you in any direction other than the only thing I will say is don't get lazy. Is like don't. Chicago can be the type of place where you're like, well I can get whatever I want. Like I can in New York or la. Like you can get any chain you want. And so it becomes comforting.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, you get like a. I'll just do takeout or.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, it's like don't get lazy. Go the extra. Take the Uber because. Because everything you find is really good.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, I've. I've had only a couple of like top shelf meals in Chicago only because I haven't been there that much. So I'm looking forward to with a couple of nights finding a few things to try.

[Adam Pally]

You have an opener or anything?

[John Gabris]

Not yet. I'm waiting to hear back from a friend. I gotta figure all that out. I don't even know how the business works on this side of the business works at all. And can you help me? Well, the most important news that we have to get across is that Tuesday, one week from today, Tuesday, August 5th, we have at 7:30pm at the Bell House, we're doing our alive Staying alive with our guests Carolyn Brown and Lisa Traeger. The show should be really fun. I might show the results of my body fat scan which is.

[Adam Pally]

Did you get another one?

[John Gabris]

Oh no, no, not after my two week east coast vacation.

[Adam Pally]

Oh God. Wait, but are you back and starting up? Did you pick up your prescript though?

[John Gabris]

No, my prescripto would be for in August if. Because I have a follow up with my cardio then so yeah, I'm on. I'm on the path. I'm on the path. All right. Yeah, I ate a little healthy meal before this. I ate. I hit the sauna and whole foods right when I landed last night. Which you normally. I like treat myself to something disgusting after a day of travel where I'm.

[Adam Pally]

Like, but coming back to LA from New York, it really leans you into that, you know, because, you know, and.

[John Gabris]

I was gone for long enough that I was like, I have to like, snap back into like la douchey avocado life a little bit and got myself a little hot bar salad from Whole Foods and picked up some supplies.

[Adam Pally]

The hot bar can be dangerous, though.

[John Gabris]

Oh, it's very easy. I mean, did I eat two meatballs with my hand because my thing wouldn't close?

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, there it is. Yep, the hot bar can be dangerous. Usually leads to a two dinner experience.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Where you're like, all right, yeah, well, I'll. I'll leave half of these for to eat later and then you just take the whole thing down. All right. Hey, dude, I will see you on Tuesday, August 5th. But until then, stay alive. Oh, I even went slow to try to set you up and you didn't even know.
