• Emphasizes that failing or being imperfect is normal and a part of long-term consistency.
  • “A lot of people let perfect be the enemy of good. Where it's like, if you're not doing it perfectly, then they use that as an excuse to, like, okay, well, I'm just not going to do it at all. You got to allow yourself to fail. You got to allow yourself to make mistakes and just kind of modify as you go.” —Cody Rigsby, [45:03]

  • Protein first (“Prioritize sleep, prioritize protein.” —[51:17])

[John Gabris]

14 years till 2040.

[Adam Pally]

I wonder if I'll see any of those.

[John Gabris]

I think we'll both see 2030 guarantee.

[Adam Pally]

But 2040 is not guaranteed.

[John Gabris]

2040 is not guaranteed. Dude, I'll be 58.

[CarMax Announcer]

I don't know.

[Adam Pally]

Not guaranteed. You don't see a lot of 58 year old dudes like me. And you know what? Like, I saw a picture of Jeff Goldblum recently and he's only. What is he, like 65? 60. 70.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, I'm not sure.

[Adam Pally]

Like, we don't age well, guys.

[John Gabris]

Like 73. Yeah, he looks like that is legitimately old.

[Adam Pally]

Not anymore.

[John Gabris]

Not anymore. No, I think 73 is. I mean old. 73 is like in my family is like you. You're the. You're the village elder. You're like the wise person. Like no one makes it that long in my family.

[Adam Pally]

73. Yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

My.

[Adam Pally]

You got to be an old lady in my feeling. Like, none of the men make it to 73.

[John Gabris]

Well, you know what? We will, because we will continue whether this podcast exists or not, to try to stay alive and for each other, for ourselves and for the opportunity to eat more interesting yakitori. There's so many. Nozawa, trust me's that you and I need that. We have to stay alive just to keep getting this, keep getting pumped the mercury through our veins.

[Adam Pally]

I know, I know. I wonder if mercury affects your dopamine.

[John Gabris]

I don't know, because I feel great after I eat a. Yeah, when I eat a school of bluefin, I feel amazing. I open my mouth like a whale and then like, like gleek all the water out and just mash down this like, school of fish.

[Adam Pally]

Trust me, Nemo. And go find it.

[John Gabris]

Sorry, Dory. When you're going into the toilet, I'll.

[Adam Pally]

Tell you where to look. My small intestine.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, you'll probably find Sebastian from it's wet down where it's better or vice versa.

[Adam Pally]

A couple animated crabs down there and.

[John Gabris]

A couple in the pubes, too. So be careful, you know?

[Adam Pally]

Be careful. Annie, blow my belly button.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. I don't know what the you're doing down there, Dory, but it's bad news. Well, we wanted to pop in before we play the today's episode just to wish our listeners a happy new year. And let's get it this fucking year. Let's get that bread. Let's get that fucking movement.

[Adam Pally]

Let's hit some goals. Let's hit some. Some personal.

[John Gabris]

Let's set small goals and hit them and then set slightly bigger goals and hit them, you know, baby steps. Something better than nothing, as we always say over here. This is. This is the year. Like, let's fucking go for it. 2025. I mean, I think I say this. Every one. This last year sucked. Let's make it much better. And then every year I'm like, okay, I was wrong about 2026 that year.

[Adam Pally]

Maybe. Maybe this is. Maybe this is something 2025 was not. Maybe the year anybody super wanted. But that doesn't mean it didn't set up. Set up some things in 26 perspectives, set us on directions that maybe we wouldn't have known without. So let's.

[John Gabris]

We should get it that way. We should take a moment right now to just point at the fact that you were optimistic for maybe the first time in our entire friendship.

[Adam Pally]

Well, you were so down someone.

[John Gabris]

I thought it was a real flip for both of us. Now, listeners, now stay our alivers. We need to come up with a name for our listeners.

[Adam Pally]

I know. I guess Deadheads is taken.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna do Deadheads. We're gonna do monsters.

[Adam Pally]

We were gonna do little monsters, Deadheads, Barbies, dolls. Everything's. Everything's taken.

[John Gabris]

Well, you know what? Let us know. Let's weigh in. Let's. Let's get a writer's room together. We'll fucking jam.

[Adam Pally]

Let's jam.

[John Gabris]

Let's get a mini room together.

[Adam Pally]

It's blue skies from here, but we could break this.

[John Gabris]

Well, without further ado, It's. It's our due without further. Our due.

[Adam Pally]

You gotta stop. You gotta stop with the French sayings.

[John Gabris]

I can't do them. My. My. My mouth is so New York shaped, I can't say anything.

[Adam Pally]

But you always reach for them. You got a certain Jenna Saquo.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, like, Jenna Saquo is like a. A beautiful Jewish girl I went to high school with. First girl in our grade, Devil, the white Beamer. In 1998, everyone anyone named Rachel is driving a white Beamer online.

[Adam Pally]

You know how many times I have to tell you that Sakura Blue is not in the Crayola box?

[John Gabris]

Hey, pass me to Sakura Blue. I got an idea for this drawing I'm doing over here.

[Adam Pally]

Do it. Do it. First of all, stop drawing. We're writing.

[John Gabris]

Give me the sock. If they don't got Sakurae Blue, pass me to Cordon Blue. Hey, we're never gonna finish this screenplay if you keep drawing cartoons in watch storyboards.

[Adam Pally]

Pick a different color.

[John Gabris]

Well, which outfurd.

[Adam Pally]

Our guest today is someone who is probably used to a couple New Year's resolutions.

[John Gabris]

Probably a person that a lot of people already look to to stay, to get and stay motivated. Myself included. Ourselves included. He's arguably famous for getting you motivated and making you fucking exercise.

[Adam Pally]

Changed the way exercise came into your home.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Saved a bunch of, like, upper middle class people in the pandemic.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. And then. And then has ridden out a couple ups and downs in the stock market.

[John Gabris]

Survived. And I'm so excited. This is like. It's one of those, like, to me, an act like a celebrity, like, because it's just a world I don't know at all. Like, he's just. He lived in a little screen in my house on a bike for, like, years.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, that's where I know him from. And it's. It's. It's just so nice to get to talk to him. So. Ladies and gentlemen, without further.

[John Gabris]

I think it's pronounced R du delay. That's good. That was good.

[Adam Pally]

Cody Rigsby from Peloton. Fuck.

[John Gabris]

Let's go. Let's fucking go unironically. Let's fucking go.

[Adam Pally]

So I want to say off the bat, I'm a huge fan.

[Cody Rigsby]

Oh, thank you so much.

[Adam Pally]

I've probably taken more of your classes than. Than any of the other instructors.

[Cody Rigsby]

Okay.

[Adam Pally]

I just find you to be the, like, I guess your energy or your aura. What? I don't know what it is.

[John Gabris]

What are the kids saying?

[Adam Pally]

What are the kids? The vibes are high.

[Cody Rigsby]

I actually feel like the kids are not saying vibes. I would say aura, maybe.

[Adam Pally]

Well, your aura. Your aura.

[John Gabris]

Cody's looking off camera. He has a youth correspondent, punches up.

[Cody Rigsby]

Someone young that can tell me what's.

[Adam Pally]

Going on in your class.

[John Gabris]

We have one too, but we just used him for blood transfusion.

[Adam Pally]

But you have this, like, you know what you want in an exercise class, which is like, humor without judgment. And, like, you know, it's. It's just like the perfect way to, like, instruct a class. Like, did you find that it came quick to you when you started doing it or was that like something you had to learn?

[Cody Rigsby]

Oh, no. So I had never taught a fitness class before I started working at Peloton, but I've been at Peloton 11 years when it was like a starter company. What the fuck they call that? Yeah, startup. There we go. A startup company. So I kind of was in the right place at the right time, but you know, I got a little. I have great ambition, a cute face, a fat ass, and like a determination to succeed. So I took.

[Adam Pally]

Welcome to the club.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, I have no ass, but other than that, I mean, I'm on work on that. Yeah. Believe me.

[Adam Pally]

I'm crying.

[Cody Rigsby]

Okay.

[Adam Pally]

I. I've been, I've been Mine. Mine is looking. Cody Rigs, let's get a little, let's.

[John Gabris]

Get a little glute bridge to Terabithio.

[Adam Pally]

No problem.

[Cody Rigsby]

I love that. I love that. I. Yeah. So I just kind of like took all the skills that I learned as like a performer, cuz I used to be a professional dancer and just tried to like apply that to what was going on. But it took me a while to just like find my voice.

[John Gabris]

I'm sure all that on top of you have to be able to pedal for the hour too, which is like a whole nother layer.

[Cody Rigsby]

It took me a while to like get conditioning right now. Now it doesn't even. Like I could do that and do a million things at once, like it doesn't even matter. But yeah, it took a while to like conditioning and get that together. But I think the, the biggest part was just like finding the voice of how it was going to be like unique and different. And I kind of really started to see that like comedy and being stupid and fun and silly like really played into people wanting to take the class because it feels like more of a distraction.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

But I think it's like, you know, I'm going to give myself the credit. Like that's not really a path that most fitness instructors go on.

[Adam Pally]

Right.

[Cody Rigsby]

It's like kind of like toxic positivity. And like have you like toxic positivity.

[John Gabris]

Drill sergeant or like weird guru, like.

[Adam Pally]

Spiritual in the middle?

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah. So I feel like those are all.

[John Gabris]

They all work for certain people, but.

[Cody Rigsby]

For me it just wasn't going to like click. And so I just, I don't know, I just wanted to like be the antithesis of what I saw in the marketplace, you know?

[Adam Pally]

Totally. Well, that's what I mean. That's what I love, love about your classes too, is that they're. They're fun. They're fun and funny and like. Yeah. You know, that makes it go by quicker. And for most people on a peloton, it's not the highest form of exercise in the sense of, like, I'm. I'm acutely working on my body. It's like, if you're on a peloton, you're trying to get it in, you're getting your cardio in. You know what I. You know what I mean? Even if you're good at it, it's still not.

[John Gabris]

You're doing it at home.

[Adam Pally]

You're doing it at home. It's not. You know what I mean? So to make something go by quicker that a lot of people in our position, it's miserable.

[Cody Rigsby]

It's something you have to do. It's something you have to do.

[Adam Pally]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

I mean, I, I always kind of. I'm grateful for peloton because it allowed me to kind of really, like, find purpose. And that purpose is really connected into, like, bringing more people into the fitness space and wellness space and on like a journey of a relationship with their body and having fun with it. And so I think the biggest thing for me was that a lot of the time, especially if you're new, fitness can be a space that's really intimidating.

[John Gabris]

Yes.

[Cody Rigsby]

And people, like, are scared. They think they're gonna be judged. Even if they're in their home by themselves, I'm sure they're still in their brain thinking, like, oh, I can't do this, or like, I'm not at that point.

[John Gabris]

They're the judge too. Yeah, you're judging yourself. I feel like a dumbass on this. And then all of a sudden Cody's like, let's go, bitches. Yeah, exactly. Even better.

[Cody Rigsby]

And so I just try to kind of be like a clown or like a little bit of a distraction where I can like, make fun of myself so that people feel a little bit more comfortable doing something that intimidates them.

[Adam Pally]

I think that's a key to your.

[John Gabris]

Humor as well and not the feeling silly that I'm like watching a screen. I'm like, the cyber class that you're in that you could be like, this is a little weird. And all of a sudden the rust gets knocked off when you break the ice and you're just like, oh, this is just.

[Adam Pally]

I also love that you're self deprecating, which I feel like is something. And you're deprecating and aware of the situation, like you're you. You very much at every class will make it known that like you're the idiot. Joke is on you.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yes.

[Adam Pally]

And.

[Cody Rigsby]

And please laugh at me.

[Adam Pally]

Laugh. Yeah. And so like in, in that I personally comedically I do.

[John Gabris]

That's my.

[Adam Pally]

That's jam.

[John Gabris]

Because I've made waiters and bartenders love me my entire.

[Adam Pally]

And I also feel like what it does in a fitness environment is exactly what you're saying. Because when you have an instructor who doesn't do that when they're even if they're humorous. Because I've had like humorous instructors that are like in the other buckets that you mentioned without self deprecation, without calling out the idea that we're all in an exercise class.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

You really can be like stop yelling at me. You know what I mean? Like, just.

[John Gabris]

You said something I want to touch on real quick. Is that the feeling of intimidation of like the people at the gym or the people in the class are going to. Are going to judge me. I would just like to say I think when most of the real gym bros and gym bras that I know they are way more helpful and way more open minded. Most of them are just so happy. Other people are at the gym usually. You know what I mean? And so like. But I just want so people who are at home and are intimidated about taking a class in person or doing even online course, all that stuff. People are more nice. There are bad annoying people in the environment. But most people are happy to see.

[Cody Rigsby]

I would say it's like a New Yorker. Like you come to New York, you think New Yorkers are going to be like assholes. But like when you need directions, like we're going to step in, we're going to tell you where it is.

[John Gabris]

Yes.

[Cody Rigsby]

Very quickly, very efficiently. But like you know, we're not, we're not assholes.

[John Gabris]

Well, it's like one of those like they say about New York in the south, like New York people seem like assholes, but are actually nice. In the south, they seem nice, but are actually.

[Adam Pally]

Yes, yes. So are you from. Where are you from?

[Cody Rigsby]

So, okay, origin story. I was born in Los Angeles, California.

[John Gabris]

But I heard of it.

[Cody Rigsby]

I moved to North Carolina when I was 8.

[Adam Pally]

South.

[Cody Rigsby]

So, yeah. So I kind of claim North Carolina just because that's where like my formative childhood and teenage years, where.

[John Gabris]

That's when your frontal cortex was.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah, yeah, for sure. So I Was there from 8 to 22. Moved to New York right after college and I've been in New York for.

[John Gabris]

You don't have to say that.

[Cody Rigsby]

16 years. No, I'm proud of that number.

[John Gabris]

Yes, you should be.

[Cody Rigsby]

I'm very proud of that number.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, you're a New Yorker. Almost two times over.

[Cody Rigsby]

Almost two times over.

[John Gabris]

My question for. I wanted to ask Peloton specifically spin instructors and bike instructors. This. If you are not working, what do you do for exercise? Do you ride?

[Cody Rigsby]

No, I don't.

[John Gabris]

Right. Because you get enough of it in is what I'm, you know.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah, Like, I don't. I don't ride on the bike, but I do strength training for about four days. Four days a week. And then right now I'm really like, focused on conditioning. So I've just been adding in some like, conditioning in, in. In intermixed in my like, strength workouts. But I've also made it a goal to get on the Peloton tread twice a week for like a 20 minute run. That's all like. Or a 20 minute hike. Honestly, are. Is really great. So it's like I. And I love getting on the Peloton tread because it gives me the experience that the bike does.

[Adam Pally]

But you're running.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah, but I'm so used to doing the bike.

[John Gabris]

It's cross training for you as a person who bikes.

[Cody Rigsby]

So I just, I love. I couldn't get through a run without the Peloton tread or the app.

[Adam Pally]

I. I really want to get a Peloton shred.

[John Gabris]

I mean, I love. That sounds like such a fucking brilliant plan. Yeah, I know.

[Adam Pally]

Because I really like running. I really enjoy running. And I started doing it outside over the summer.

[Cody Rigsby]

Oh, yeah.

[Adam Pally]

And now we're hitting this shitty thing. And like.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah, it's a great. It's a great piece of equipment not to like, shamelessly plug it, but you know, if you brought it up. And specifically what I really like is they have knobs on the side that like, while you're running, you just like spank them and they like, they go Fast or go up or go down. And so it makes the transition between, like, speeds very quickly.

[Adam Pally]

Not like Barry's boot camp, where you're.

[Cody Rigsby]

Like, yeah, it's just like, 7.5, 8.

[John Gabris]

8.5. Yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

Toggle it.

[Adam Pally]

I almost fallen at Barry's boot camp so many times. Yes. Because they're like. They're like, bring it down 1.5. And I'm, like, trying to hit the thing, and then I'm, like, holding on the thing, and I'm so nervous because I've got buddied up with someone who needs me to get off the freaking treadmill so they can stop doing curl. They've been doing curls, like, 40 minutes waiting for me. You know what I'm saying?

[Cody Rigsby]

And if you do fall in a class like that, please, I know in that moment, you're so embarrassed and you are thinking that everybody is watching you. They are watching you. You just fell on your ass. But, like, please don't rush to get up, if that makes sense. I feel like people rush to get up, and then they're like, be like, it didn't happen.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

Or like, it didn't happen, or they're probably gonna hurt themselves even worse by, like, just like, take the L, take the L. Take a breath. Take a breath.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Crack your slowly.

[Cody Rigsby]

Get up.

[John Gabris]

You know?

[Adam Pally]

You audition for Peloton.

[Cody Rigsby]

Not really.

[Adam Pally]

You come to New York, you're a dancer.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

And are you, like. You're trying to be in the chorus. You're trying to, like, what is. Is it like.

[John Gabris]

Right.

[Cody Rigsby]

I was more so like, come off.

[Adam Pally]

The bus with your bindle.

[Cody Rigsby]

I always felt like a young ingenue when I moved to new. To New York. Right off the bus. No, I moved to. I moved to New York in, like, 2009, right after the recession. I think I had, like, $2,000 in my bank account. I did have a job. I did have a job. I think I was maybe, like, which I can't even imagine. Like, I was making 30k. I think when I first moved to New York, my rent was only $400, though.

[Adam Pally]

That's.

[Cody Rigsby]

It was.

[Adam Pally]

Where were you living?

[Cody Rigsby]

It was like, Washington heights with, like, 500.

[John Gabris]

That's what I'm saying. That's an eight. That's an eight person.

[Cody Rigsby]

It was five bedrooms in 04.

[John Gabris]

I was paying $700 to live in a tree house inside of a loft, and I was making 288 a week after taxes.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

Shout out VH1.

[Cody Rigsby]

Where. I don't even know if those sort of. Or you can Find that in New York anymore.

[Adam Pally]

No, you can't.

[Cody Rigsby]

No, that. Had I not had that, I don't think I would have been able to survive here. Wait, what did you ask me?

[John Gabris]

Did you audition?

[Cody Rigsby]

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. So I kind of just. I was a dancer. I was a dancer for five years. I got to a point where I was like, this is not serving me anymore. It's not making me the money that I see my friends making and enjoying life. And I was like, all right, I've done the dance thing. I want something new. I didn't know what it was going to be. And then I started working at the Box down in the Lower east side, which. Which is a nightclub with a burlesque show, you know.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, yeah. I feel like that got, like, really famous for a little bit.

[Cody Rigsby]

It did. I mean, I think it's still.

[John Gabris]

It's still a go to place.

[Cody Rigsby]

It's definitely like a go to place in New York where you go. My job was to. Cause at times throughout the show, girls would flash their tits, and there's probably like, there's a lot of very unique performance numbers there. So they didn't want anybody stealing the IP of it or, like, copying it. So I had to, like, stop people from being on their phones, which is a very hard job in itself. But the. The director of the show, slash choreographer of the show, knew that I was a dancer, and he had a college friend that was working at Peloton. And so those two connected, being like, hey, do you know any performers that would be into, like, teaching a fitness class? And I was just, like, tired of doing that job and cater waitering and just, like, making money, because that was like, like the thing I was focused on, which is, like, making money. I was like, okay, let me teach these little spin classes and let me, like, make some extra cash. It beats, like, cater waitering. And so I just sent him my headshot, my resume. I went in for an interview, and like, within 30 minutes on the spot, they hired me to train. So, hell yeah. Yeah. Like, kind of right place, right time, and very serendipitous.

[John Gabris]

And you were able to grow with a company that was about to have.

[Cody Rigsby]

An insane grow professionally grow personally go on the journey and like, it really. I'm really grateful that I started at that job when I did because there was not many as many eyes on me. So I could be. I could make a lot of mistakes. I could do a lot of cringy things. I could, like, develop. And from when I started in 2014, yeah, 2014, that gave me a five to six year Runway to, like, game time, which fortunately or unfortunately was pandemic. Pandemic.

[John Gabris]

That's when I had a peloton.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, that's when I learned about you. Yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah. So it's like I had a lot of time to do some cringy stuff and make a lot of mistakes and then figure out. And then figure out that, like, comedy was my voice and being silly and stupid was a thing. And so that's what kind of allowed me to.

[John Gabris]

Not only did that work for you, you found out that worked for you, but it also worked for your classes, for your students. For the people taking it were like, not only are you comfortable in there and doing it well, but other people were drawn to that, which is kind of a fun thing to discover.

[Cody Rigsby]

Cause I always think, like, success is a little bit of obviously, skill, but also like, luck.

[John Gabris]

Oh, yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

And preparation. So it's just like I had the perfect combination of everything that to be at the right place at the time. Many times God was. I was one of God's chosen ones for a while, you know.

[Adam Pally]

Sure.

[Cody Rigsby]

One of his favorites for that time period.

[Adam Pally]

Okay. It's always, Noah, build the ark.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah, exactly. Cody, Cody, get on a bike.

[Adam Pally]

Make a Britney Smith Spears reference.

[Cody Rigsby]

Exactly. About shaking tits.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

But her dancing with knives, you f. Her Instagram is amazing, you know. Are you a Britney?

[Cody Rigsby]

I'm a massive Britney fan.

[John Gabris]

No, but are you stress inducing?

[Adam Pally]

But it's. But even for massive Britney fans, the Instagram is polarizing because some people are able to watch it and.

[Cody Rigsby]

No, no, I am definitely, like, concerned at times.

[Adam Pally]

Yes.

[Cody Rigsby]

But I would rather her be, quote, unquote, herself.

[CarMax Announcer]

Free.

[Cody Rigsby]

Free and cringe. Crazy. Doing weird shit.

[Adam Pally]

Twirling, twirling, constantly twirling.

[Cody Rigsby]

Wearing an outfit from a sex store.

[Adam Pally]

Underwear never quite in the right place. Like, yeah, we're gonna.

[Cody Rigsby]

But we're just like gonna let her live because she's given us so much.

[Adam Pally]

She always looks like she's wearing boy shorts backwards.

[John Gabris]

Yes.

[Cody Rigsby]

It gives.

[CarMax Announcer]

Like when the.

[Cody Rigsby]

Back in, like middle school when the girls were like the Sophie cheerleading shorts, like, rolled up just a little.

[John Gabris]

Roll them, roll them.

[Adam Pally]

I went to the University of Arizona. Ua.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

Oh, yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

And she's got a juicy like a blouse from Forever 21 with a. With a bell sleeve.

[Adam Pally]

Yell that too.

[Cody Rigsby]

But I want her to be free and do whatever she wants to do instead of having to be under conservatorship by her father who was, you know, not treating her well and doing a lot of crazy shit to her.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

So yeah, the. I do get a little concerned when I see it, but I'm like, you know what, whatever.

[John Gabris]

She's a grown up.

[Cody Rigsby]

She's a grownup. There's probably people that you follow on Facebook that have put up a lot worse. So she's allowed to do the same for sure.

[John Gabris]

For close personal friends who are putting up what they think is art that is more concerning than what Britney Spears is doing.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, yeah, no, totally. It is. When she.

[John Gabris]

Broccoli Alfredo is an easy, high protein.

[John Gabris]

Meal with nothing artificial. The steam tray keeps the sauce separate.

[John Gabris]

Sauce and tender grilled chicken. That's delicious every time.

[Cody Rigsby]

[Adam Pally]

Do you get a lot of people that say to you, like, because we get this as comedians where they're like, I'm funny too. Or like, do you get a lot of people who want to joke around with you because you're quote unquote, like funny.

[John Gabris]

You also have that, like, you have that condition like podcast. Podcasters get where you're in people's homes making them laugh.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

So they, you. They have like that parasocial like Cody is. I see Cody every morning for one hour and ten minutes before I see my family. Yeah, it's like, so when you. When they run into you on the street or you. They see you outside of the studio, it's like seeing a teacher at the grocery store.

[Cody Rigsby]

Exactly.

[Adam Pally]

Do you have weird fan interactions like that?

[Cody Rigsby]

I mean, listen, it's like you said, it's a very interesting and singular parasocial relationship that is connected to endorphins and chemicals being released in your body, goals being met, feeling good about yourself. So it's a parasocial relationship that is unlike any other.

[Adam Pally]

It sounds like your DMs are a mess.

[Cody Rigsby]

They're not. They're not too bad, to be honest. They're not crazy.

[John Gabris]

Well, then answer mine, please. Okay, they're not so bad. Why don't you write back, have a blue check for sake.

[Adam Pally]

They must be a mess.

[John Gabris]

Mine are cuz, cuz, cuz.

[Adam Pally]

Cuz. If you think of the way that, like, therapists consistently have to reject the idea that there's more between the patient and them on that level, does that happen a lot? Yes. That's like.

[John Gabris]

Sounds like Adam got a real hard.

[Cody Rigsby]

Conversation with the boundary. With my therapist.

[Adam Pally]

She just told me, stop coming to my.

[John Gabris]

She told me, I never gave you my edge.

[Adam Pally]

She just told me, we can't. We can't have the sessions in my car.

[CarMax Announcer]

Car.

[Adam Pally]

In front of her house anymore.

[Cody Rigsby]

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

[John Gabris]

Come out.

[Cody Rigsby]

Just. Just come inside.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, but. No, no, I. But like that. No, that is something that happens. Not boundary wise, but you often hear about people falling in love with their therapist, like, or even for a little bit. And I feel like you are working. You're getting the same, you know, like you're saying, people seeing results, people believing that you're bettering their life.

[John Gabris]

If you were like 15 more evil, you would have a culture.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, for sure.

[John Gabris]

Like you. You.

[Cody Rigsby]

I have all the makings of the.

[John Gabris]

Fact that you're using your powers for good to help People increase their VO2 max and improve their cardiovascular health and. And quad and glute development instead of filling your pockets and having concubines like you are. I. You are. You chose correctly, Cody. Like you, you could have gone mad.

[Cody Rigsby]

With power to the concubine. Of course.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

A feeling that the next five years of Cody's peloton rides. The tone will change.

[Cody Rigsby]

Oh, there we go.

[John Gabris]

Wait, did you know the peloton ers marched on Washington? Well, they rode on Washington.

[Adam Pally]

In Washington.

[John Gabris]

It was Jan.1.

[Adam Pally]

They weren't going anywhere. So you do you still ride all the time or are you like. Is it more of a bigger. Because you're like one of the stars.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Do you have to do less?

[Adam Pally]

Do you do less or is it like. That's rude. Is that rude?

[Cody Rigsby]

No, no, no, I'm kidding.

[Adam Pally]

Is that rude to the other pelotoners, maybe. But you are this. I mean, there's no.

[Cody Rigsby]

I know.

[Adam Pally]

No, no, let's go through this. You Jen Sherman.

[Cody Rigsby]

Okay.

[Adam Pally]

Wow.

[Cody Rigsby]

We love Jen Sherman.

[Adam Pally]

We love Jen Sherman.

[Cody Rigsby]

Exactly.

[John Gabris]

Oh, shit.

[Cody Rigsby]

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Those are two great shows. Those are two great choices.

[Adam Pally]

You're a star.

[Cody Rigsby]

Thank you. No, I appreciate that. So what would you just.

[Adam Pally]

Do you have to do it? Do you still find that you're riding the same amount or is it like, I mean, things.

[Cody Rigsby]

There's been a whole like process. I mean, when I think about when I first started, I. I started at the bottom of the totem pole. So I didn't know what I was doing. There were other people already working there. So I was just like, put me in whatever class you wanted to and.

[John Gabris]

Then now you have seniority.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah, but like at the point when I was first starting, maybe I had like four or five actual classes that were mine, but then people would be calling out or like need coverage and I would just like raise my hand. So there was a point where I was teaching 12 to 14 classes and those were mostly 45 minute classes. 26 year old Cody can do that. 38 year old Cody, not so. As much as I don't want to admit it, like can't be doing all that.

[John Gabris]

It is like it is when you get older, those jobs where you pick up shifts. Like, it's one thing to be like, yeah, I can do an extra podcast today. It's another thing to be like, I could do another 14 hour bartender shift and it's another thing to go, I can do another 14 at 45 minute Power Hills.

[Cody Rigsby]

So I, Yeah, I, I gotten to a place where I teach probably like three to five times a week. And I think it's for me just more about quality over quantity of just like wanting the classes to be impactful and fun and well, it's also not.

[John Gabris]

Like the classes can sell out. You know what I mean?

[Cody Rigsby]

It's not like Cody the person, they can't. I mean, we do have like 40 people in the studio.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, we gotta do one in the studio.

[Cody Rigsby]

Please come.

[Adam Pally]

I would love to, Honestly, I would love to do one in the studio.

[Cody Rigsby]

Please, please.

[Adam Pally]

And, like, not be. No, I don't want to be on stage with you. I just want to be, like, featured. I just want to be like.

[Cody Rigsby]

You do want to be featured.

[Adam Pally]

You know, I don't want to be.

[Cody Rigsby]

A little bit about you.

[Adam Pally]

Well, I want people to be, like.

[John Gabris]

Going, if it's not a little bit.

[Adam Pally]

About me, I'd be like, was Adam Pally and Cody Rigby's 330?

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

You know, like, I just think that was really funny.

[John Gabris]

Like, but that John Gabris that needed cpr, Is that John G. That died?

[Cody Rigsby]

That is my. That is my worst nightmare.

[Adam Pally]

You have. Have you had.

[Cody Rigsby]

No, no, no. That's never happened.

[Adam Pally]

Like, but you think about it.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah. I mean, I just don't want anything.

[Adam Pally]

My worst nightmare, you don't know if it's ever happened.

[Cody Rigsby]

No.

[Adam Pally]

A lot of people.

[John Gabris]

Mr. Big was watching your class.

[Cody Rigsby]

I'm not going to comment on that.

[Adam Pally]

You the one?

[Cody Rigsby]

No, I was not. Thank God. Thank God.

[Adam Pally]

Was it Jen Sherman? It was not it.

[John Gabris]

They can't even talk about it.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, but, like, no.

[Cody Rigsby]

My worst nightmare is, though, so a lot of expecting mothers will come in very late in their pregnancy, and I'm like, ma'.

[Adam Pally]

Am.

[Cody Rigsby]

She's like, I'm due in two weeks. I'm like, girl, don't sit on this.

[Adam Pally]

Bike right now up until the end.

[Cody Rigsby]

And break your water right here in this class.

[John Gabris]

Oh, man.

[Adam Pally]

Up until the end.

[John Gabris]

I know a few comics who had people who have heart attacks in the crowd.

[CarMax Announcer]

Really?

[John Gabris]

Yeah. And imagine, like, EMTs come charging in and shit. And they're like, all right, everyone just play cool, and then we'll get back to this after this.

[Adam Pally]

I would walk out the back door, get in my car, drive home, pretend I was never there. Just be like, I am not there.

[Cody Rigsby]

Know I would have to put my CPR training into you.

[Adam Pally]

So did you see when the guy passed out in.

[John Gabris]

In the White House and Trump just.

[Adam Pally]

Stood there like, that was just like.

[Cody Rigsby]

Last week, wasn't it?

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, I think so. I don't know everything.

[Cody Rigsby]

He seemed very annoyed.

[Adam Pally]

RFK was so. I was like, that was the picture of evil. Like, the guy, like, has a heart attack.

[John Gabris]

He's like, I know RFK Jr. Is not a doctor, but he is, like, the head of the health department. And a guy collapsed, and he ran. Get the out of here. He's like, I got a dip.

[Adam Pally]

That's how I felt. Yeah. I had a friend start jok on a. On chicken in front of me. And instead of this, Dan, no Neil. Our friend Neil. So we were eating and he was choking, and instead of going to help him, I went and got someone.

[John Gabris]

I understand that, though, where you're like, I don't know if I have the skill.

[Adam Pally]

I was like, I don't know what to do.

[Cody Rigsby]

Like, squeeze. Go and go.

[John Gabris]

Get a grown up.

[Adam Pally]

We were on a set. We were on set too.

[Cody Rigsby]

So like I said, there's probably someone more.

[Adam Pally]

I like, ran around. I was like, is there a grip?

[John Gabris]

Is there a doctor? Not. No, not you playing a doctor. Is there an actual.

[Adam Pally]

Is there anyone know an actor that knows what to do here? My friend is dying.

[Cody Rigsby]

Wait, one of my friends is a doctor? And he's had the. Like. Is there a doctor on the flight?

[Adam Pally]

My dad has it all the time.

[Cody Rigsby]

Oh, yeah, but he told me he waits a minute. Yeah, let me see if somebody else will raise their hand first. I have a doctorate in theater.

[John Gabris]

One person stands up, you're like a.

[Adam Pally]

Doctorate in liberal arts.

[Cody Rigsby]

It's happened to your dad, though.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, it's happened a couple times. It happened to him on a plane. It happened to him in a Broadway show.

[Cody Rigsby]

Oh, God.

[Adam Pally]

And yeah, he's. He's. Every time he jumps to it because my dad has a star. He's. He's a star.

[John Gabris]

He's a bit of a. He's got a little bit of protagonist.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, my dad is like.

[Cody Rigsby]

He needs attention.

[Adam Pally]

Main character syndrome. So when it happens, they're like, as a doctor in the house, my dad literally is like, I'm a doctor.

[John Gabris]

He, like, like, pulls a. He pulls like a lab coat out of his.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. And like, jump off the balcony. He'll like, jump off the balcony with his stethoscope swinging to get down. Like he is legit. And. And. And will check out the scene. What are parents do?

[Cody Rigsby]

Well, it's just my mom and. I don't know. My mom was just a. A waitress growing up. So I grew up. I grew up, like, super poor.

[Adam Pally]

But. Yeah, you're looking at. To. What's the word? How would you describe our babies? No.

[John Gabris]

Babies, child.

[Adam Pally]

Our childhoods were more upper middle class. No.

[John Gabris]

Oh, no, not that one.

[Adam Pally]

No, not that one.

[John Gabris]

Much lower, like. Well, we were. What?

[Cody Rigsby]

You said your dad was a doctor.

[Adam Pally]

He's Dr. Nick now. Oh, my dad was a lounge singer when I was a kid. Yeah. And changed.

[Cody Rigsby]

At what age did he go to med school?

[Adam Pally]

35.

[Cody Rigsby]

Oh, wow.

[John Gabris]

My mom was a college dropout. My dad was a high school dropout and.

[Cody Rigsby]

Oh, so he made money after. You could start making money I'm still.

[Adam Pally]

Waiting for him to make okay. I'm still waiting for that.

[Cody Rigsby]

The need to be paid off.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. I'm still waiting for him to be a do. Like to be a doctor's son. That would be great. That would be awesome. Never quite had that.

[Cody Rigsby]

Got it, got it, got it.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Had a lot of bills that we didn't know we had. But yeah, like we, we, we have childhoods similarly where it's like, not that we were have knots, but like.

[Cody Rigsby]

Everything.

[Adam Pally]

Seemed very far away.

[Cody Rigsby]

Where'd you grow up?

[Adam Pally]

I grew up in New York City.

[Cody Rigsby]

Oh.

[Adam Pally]

And then in Skokie, Illinois and then in New Jersey the last couple years.

[Cody Rigsby]

All right.

[John Gabris]

I'm from Long Island. I did it all there.

[Cody Rigsby]

Oh, wow.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, I'm not too far from here, but totally different vibe.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

40 minute drive. Drive 40 years behind.

[Adam Pally]

That's the island.

[John Gabris]

You think Manhattan's progressive. Let me take you 40 minutes east.

[Adam Pally]

Do you cheat ever?

[Cody Rigsby]

Like, what's your notorious for loving food? I love. I love food. Like, I grew up eating a bunch of junk.

[Adam Pally]

Are you Brooklyn or Manhattan?

[Cody Rigsby]

Brooklyn.

[Adam Pally]

So, like, where are you. What's. Where are you eating? Like, what's your.

[John Gabris]

Oh, like, if you're. If you're gonna go off. If you're gonna go off. Yeah.

Oh, wait, go off.

[Adam Pally]

Like, if you're gonna be like, Friday night, we're going out for dinner. Where are we going?

[John Gabris]

Or.

[Cody Rigsby]

I mean, there's just so many great, great spots around me. I mean, there's a place, like, very close to me called Bonnie's. It's like Cantonese food. The food is really good. The drinks are really amazing. Some of the best drinks I've had, honestly, in the entire spicy set.

[Adam Pally]

Like a Szechuan kind of.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah. I mean, that's the food, but, like, the drinks. Like, I think the key to the drinks is. Is they put MSG on the drinks, and it brings out the flavors in a different way.

[John Gabris]

Umami cocktails.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

[Adam Pally]

Umami.

[John Gabris]

Call me.

[Cody Rigsby]

I'm in.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

Wait. You know what? I'd rather go out for drinks with you at Bonnie's than do your class.

[Cody Rigsby]

That's fair.

[Adam Pally]

I'll do the class. You do Bonnie's.

[Cody Rigsby]

That's fair.

[Adam Pally]

I'm also not.

[John Gabris]

Don't get him so hungover. You can handle the class next time. Perfect.

[Cody Rigsby]

Have you guys been to Bernie's? Bernie's is like.

[Adam Pally]

I love Bernie's.

[Cody Rigsby]

Bernie's is great.

[John Gabris]

I just went, like, two weeks. My cousin lives around the block from Bernie's, so we were.

[Cody Rigsby]

That's key, because you can't get a reservation. You have to just put in your name. Luckily, I have worked my way up to a person that they know. So most of the time when I go there, even if there's a wait, they put me in first.

[John Gabris]

Shout out my friend Rachel, who's a manager at Bernie's, who has gotten me table twice.

[Adam Pally]

Do you get recognized a lot on the street?

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Like, does that help you get reservations?

[Cody Rigsby]

No.

[John Gabris]

Do you wear your instructor outfit around Manhattan? Yeah. Just so People, like, get the context.

[Cody Rigsby]

For you like to pull that card. No, I don't like to pull that card. Even Ren has been, like, wanting a reservation somewhere or like, I've been wanting to go. She's like, let me just say it's for you. And I'm like, no, don't do that. Please don't do that.

[Adam Pally]

Really? We are opposites because, oh, I have made.

[John Gabris]

We try my name first. And then we go, all right, hold on. What about Adam Pal?

[Cody Rigsby]

Truly.

[John Gabris]

Let's go up the chain.

[Adam Pally]

There have been times where we've walked into a restaurant and we're like, do you have a table? And they're. They're like, no, sorry.

[Cody Rigsby]

Raw.

[Adam Pally]

And I will take my hat off and be like, how about now? And they're like, sorry. They're like, I don't know what's changed.

[John Gabris]

But then we go outside, tell his wife to call the restaurant as his publicist.

[Cody Rigsby]

Exactly.

[Adam Pally]

And they're like, sorry, my client. They don't know who that is.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, they're just give him one MSG drink, please.

[Cody Rigsby]

Please.

[Adam Pally]

So you drink, do you?

[Cody Rigsby]

I go through phases of drinking, so I. Relatable.

[Adam Pally]

Where are we in right now?

[Cody Rigsby]

Well, I just came out of. No, back to phase zero. I'm about to do another, like, kind of cycle of sobriety. Not sobriety, but not drinking.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

So I did all of. I think I did. Wait, sorry. Like, September to, like, middle of October. I did, like, six weeks of not drinking. Then I went to Disney with my friends, and we had. We wanted to drink around Epcot. And then I just got back from Napa, so I did a bunch of wine drinking. I feel like I've drank so much that I'm like, I needed another break, probably.

[John Gabris]

This is kind of how I do it now is like, I turn the faucet on and off. I'm like, all right, it's my brother's wedding and then a football game. Like, all right, that weekend is on. And then I'll make sure I take off that next week.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah, I like to do, like, chunks. So I'll probably do, like, a dry January. I like. I like a dry January. It's a good reset.

[John Gabris]

Speaking of which, let's. This episode is coming out in the new year.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. So what do you do?

[Cody Rigsby]

Resolutions? No, no. I think it's just, like, such. I don't wanna say such bullshit if. If that is gonna help you get to a good place, for sure. But I think most of the time, you just kind of, like, set your expectations too. High. And I think real change just, like, comes over time and it's a lot of, like, trial and error and you can't just. It's a great jump off point, I guess. But for me, I don't ever do that.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, there's something about. If you're setting the resolution up, you could be setting yourself up for a failure a little bit where you're like, there's something about making it so difficult that when you bail it. It feels relief. Then there's also something I think, like, I like to look at Jan1as, or the month of December leading up to January 1st of like, what do I want to do in this new year? Like, what bo. What boxes do I want to check? What changes do I want to make? I wouldn't call them resolutions because then the second you're like, I'm not going to smoke weed Monday through Friday, the second you, like, blast a blunt on a Wednesday, you're like, well, now I can do whatever the fuck I want.

[Cody Rigsby]

But that's why absolutes, like, not drinking work for me a little bit.

[John Gabris]

Right.

[Cody Rigsby]

It's like, I like to kind of go in absolutes because I can be like, no, I am not drinking right now. Opposed to like, oh, maybe like, I'll be at dinner and somebody like, you want to like, let's have a wine. I'm like, okay, I can give into that, right?

[John Gabris]

Because you're like, well, yeah, I'm just trying to drink less. And then you have, like, then that. That dinner comes up four times in two weeks and you're like, fuck, I had.

[Cody Rigsby]

I like to. I like to oscillate in absolutes or. And then. And, like, have a great week.

[John Gabris]

We talk about balance, and some people think balance could be like, I only do my vice X amount of days. And then some people are like, two months off the vice. Two months on.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, I can have two, three drinks a night.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

And that's it. Yeah, they, like, they put it away. You know, it's like. And that's their balance.

[Cody Rigsby]

But does that. I mean, if I'm gonna be honest, just like, it. It affects, like, my sleep and, like, how I feel.

[John Gabris]

That's not good for me. No, that plan does not work for me.

[Adam Pally]

I don't know how I feel. Do it.

[Cody Rigsby]

That's okay.

[Adam Pally]

But we're here.

[Cody Rigsby]

But we're here.

[John Gabris]

It's truly. You said it. We say it all the time. It's like, what works for you. Like, if. If. If resolutions is a thing you need, then use it. If, like, if taking a biking class stresses you out, but riding a bike doesn't, then just ride the bike.

[Adam Pally]

You know what I mean?

[John Gabris]

Like, whatever's going to get you to do something is all that matters.

[Cody Rigsby]

It's just about, like, creating consistency.

[John Gabris]

Yes.

[Cody Rigsby]

And my thing is, like, whatever you might have that intention for the upcoming year, like, start it now or start it well. I mean, it's too late if this episode coming in January, but, like, the months before, like, start to implement those things little bit by a little bit so it becomes consistent and part of your plan. And then, because there does feel a.

[John Gabris]

Little bit like a New Year's resolution, if you're talking about it in November, you're also kind of saying, well, from Thanksgiving till New Year's, I'm gonna be a fucking monster.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, well, that.

[John Gabris]

But you're, like, allowing that because you're like. And on January 1st, I'm locking it all up. And it's like you're kind of weirdly giving your. Or at least let me not say the royal you here when I do that. I'm saying, like, well, if I'm gonna become a monk in January, I should have my rum springer for this month. Emphasis on rum.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I subscribe to that sometimes, like, let me be chaotic. But I think it's even like, okay, if you're gonna get into fitness, like, start to, like, implement that maybe like now, you know? And I think a big part of New Year's resolutions that really, like, fail is that you put this high expectation on yourself. And a lot of people let perfect be the enemy of good. Where it's like, if you're not doing it perfectly, then they use that as an excuse to, like, okay, well, I'm just not going to do it at all. You got to allow yourself to fail. You got to allow yourself to make mistakes and just kind of modify as you go.

[John Gabris]

I'm a victim. I'm a victim of that. I'll be like, Monday is legs Tuesdays. And if I miss it, like, I won't miss a day. And then when I miss a day, I'm like, well, then fuck it. The whole thing's off. Yeah. And it's like, well, why did I make it that I had to work out? I haven't worked out six days a week in 10 years. Why am I choosing at 43 to this year? Lock in.

[Cody Rigsby]

Let's start with some small goals.

[John Gabris]

Yes, exactly.

[Adam Pally]

Have you always been jacked?

[Cody Rigsby]

No. No. You.

[Adam Pally]

When did that start?

[Cody Rigsby]

I mean, you know, gay body dysmorphia hits at an early age. So, you know, you try to run from.

[John Gabris]

But you were also, like, a dancer. So in my mind, that was like.

[Cody Rigsby]

But I actually didn't start dancing until I was, like, 18. I didn't start taking, like, dance classes until I was 18. I was just always. Yeah, yeah, I was. I was just, like, kind of into it and like, in show choir and stuff like that. But no, I think I just started implementing fitness into my different phases. Like, I don't know. When I was, like, in eighth grade, I stopped drinking soda. Cause I knew that was, like, empty calories. Then I started, like, running a little bit. Then, like, dance became dance, honestly, was my more. My entry point into fitness. Because I moved to New York and this choreographer I was training under wanted to book me for Victoria's Secret Fashion show. And he was like, I wanna book you, but you need to get this body together. Like, you need to look a certain way. I mean, and it's. This is in 2009, so it's not.

[John Gabris]

As you're allowed to talk to people like that.

[Cody Rigsby]

Exactly. You know, But I appreciate the honesty of, like, it was something I wanted. And if that's what I got to do to get there, then, like, sure.

[John Gabris]

You can be a dancer with whatever necessary sort of body you want, but if you want to be a Victorian aesthetic.

[Cody Rigsby]

So I wanted to book the job. So I started, like, getting. I got in a trainer and went to the gym. Started, like, increasing protein intake and stuff like that. And that's what got me into kind of working out. And then.

[John Gabris]

So you took to the weights, you know?

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, I always.

[Cody Rigsby]

I always think it's like, if I. If anybody's looking to work out, my thing is, like, pick up the weights.

[John Gabris]

Resistance training is key.

[Cody Rigsby]

Pick up the weight to lift the weight.

[John Gabris]

I'm from Long Island.

[Cody Rigsby]

Like I said, everybody in between, like, just pick up the weights, get strong.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

Remember, Ren, you couldn't even do a pushup, and now you can do pushups.

[John Gabris]

Legendary strength coach Mark Ripeto always says strong people are harder to kill, more useful in general.

[Cody Rigsby]

There we go. There we go.

[Adam Pally]

If you.

[Cody Rigsby]

I like cardio for, like, conditioning and, like, feeling good about myself.

[John Gabris]

Right, right.

[Adam Pally]

So what are, like, some things that you're. That you do? Like, you mentioned protein intake or whatever. Just like, if you were to adv, like, give, like, a little, like, you know, armchair.

[John Gabris]

The entire premise of the podcast is just like, what.

[Adam Pally]

What would. What would be some of the things that you do to stay alive, like, besides the Weights, like what kind of supplements, mental.

[John Gabris]

Any other habits, behaviors, sleep, sched. All that.

[Cody Rigsby]

So sleep is a really big one. Like, sleep is so important for me.

[John Gabris]

So what do you do? Or.

[Cody Rigsby]

Well, I think a lot of this is just like, it really is a lot more mental than it is physical. For me. It's so much. I can show up and do a workout and I'm like, fine. Like, I can battle through, like, the physical part of it is that's easy. It's the, like when I'm not in the mood or like down and. And like stopping myself from doing that. So sleep is important. I say, like, turn the fucking TV off at like 10 and just like force yourself to go. To go to sleep and try to.

[Adam Pally]

Put your phone away.

[Cody Rigsby]

Put your phone away. I also think, which is a little bit harder, I think, to get in a good sleep pattern, actually set your alarm early and deal with the discomfort that that might come up with for a few weeks. Like, you're gonna wake up tired.

[John Gabris]

It'll hit you at the end of the day.

[Cody Rigsby]

Exactly. You're gonna. It's gonna be rough for a week or two, but if you start waking up at like 6 or 7, you just.

[John Gabris]

And you start crashing at 10 or 11, you're gonna be doing much better.

[Cody Rigsby]

I love it. Yeah, I love it. So it's just like set the, set the alarm early and prioritize sleep. Like, turn off tv. Like, everything we watch is streaming. It will be there tomorrow. Like, you don't need the distraction.

[John Gabris]

Just shut off 101 places to party before you don't have watching it every day.

[Adam Pally]

What about. What about diet? Because that's always, that's. I.

[Cody Rigsby]

It's not as easy for me either. I know people, like roll their eyes at that, but it's definitely something that I kind of like go in of good phases and bad, bad phases. It's kind of back to that idea of seasonality. I think he. For me, I like to know where my body composition is. So like doing an in body or like knowing what I want to work on. So if I. If I need to like work on getting muscle mass, it's like making sure you're eating enough protein to grow your muscles and stuff like that. I don't think everybody. Everybody's like just so different. I think you need to like, do preparation. So have things readily available. So anything that's like easy and accessible.

[John Gabris]

Set yourself up for stress.

[Cody Rigsby]

I think the hardest part for me is like after a stressful day, I'm like, the what's harder is choosing the thing to eat, eat. So if you have it already ready to go or you have a mentality of what you're going to order or have things easily prepared, I think that's.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. I don't trust my, my frantic decisions.

[Cody Rigsby]

No.

[John Gabris]

So if I can pre set myself up and I know well what you have in the fridge for when you get home, that is dinner, don't stop. Don't randomly get impulsive about something, for sure.

[Cody Rigsby]

And I think the biggest thing is prior, prioritize sleep, prioritize protein. So I think when you focus on eating the protein first a, you're getting the protein intake, but you're going to be more satiated and you're not going to have as much space for. For all the other shit. I guess.

[John Gabris]

If I can interject, you said something that really hit for me. We have jobs that sometimes you have to do even if you're miserable. And our job involves being funny or being charming or memorizing lines and coming across as a certain character or whatever.

[Cody Rigsby]

You.

[John Gabris]

To me, your job would be even more difficult for me if I'm in a bad headspace. I'm like, I gotta get out there and be motivational and I gotta exercise for 45 minutes, like, and I gotta push it and I gotta be on like being on.

[Cody Rigsby]

Like.

[John Gabris]

Do you find yourself in these times where you're like. Or are you like.

[Cody Rigsby]

There's plenty of times that like, I don't want to work out. I don't want to be. Be fun. I don't want to be funny, I don't want to be motivating, like all that sort of stuff. And it really hits me around this time to about probably like April when the sun starts going down.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Seasonal, it's dark.

[Cody Rigsby]

I'm just cranky at like, because I teach mostly at night. So like 5, 30, 6, 30, even by then I'm like, cranky and not in the mood. And I believe in a little bit of like, radical acceptance of just being like, it's okay that I'm in that space. And so that might be like going in and teaching the class and just really focusing on like the programming. This resistance, this cadence. Push for this long and just like being really specific with that so I don't put the pressure on myself that this class has to be the funniest or the funnest. Like, it can just be what it is. But typically I'm being so honest. Like, I love my job and I do find a lot of gratitude in the fact that I get to move my body, listen to great music, motivate people. So, like, even if I'm in a shitty mood, I get on that stage and I come on, the cameras come on, and something just, like, clicks.

[John Gabris]

Another relatable thing. Like, I'll be, like, down and not wanting to do this.

[Cody Rigsby]

I mean, the show starts like, the lights are up, the adrenaline goes. You kind of like.

[John Gabris]

And then it ends and you're like, why was I ever in a bad mood?

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah, exactly.

[Adam Pally]

Do you write. Do you write your stuff beforehand or is it all improvised?

[Cody Rigsby]

So, like, most of. Most of the things that I say are just kind of like, top of the mind stuff. Or if someone's leaderboard says something, it'll relate to a story, or there might be lyrics in a song, or I'll talk about pop culture. So I'd say, like, 90% of it is that I've had kind of these more signature series, like, XOXO Cody. I just did one in the UK called Tea Time with Cody, where I learned all about, like, British culture and stuff like that. So even in the fitness part of it, I have scripted out some of it, but that's more like special occasions. Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Is that where you see yourself going? Like, how do you see. How do you see yourself growing? Yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

I mean. I mean, listen, I love peloton, and I'll be there as long as I, like, can be. I don't know exactly what my next step is, but I'd love to, like, work in content and allow myself to, like, whether that's in front of the camera, behind the camera. And I've. I've. Yeah, I like. I know I have a natural knack for it.

[Adam Pally]

So you're not going to be behind camera.

[Cody Rigsby]

In front.

[Adam Pally]

In front of the camera.

[Cody Rigsby]

Okay.

[John Gabris]

Maybe you're also helping out behind the.

[Adam Pally]

Scenes, producing your own stuff. But it's in front.

[John Gabris]

Put yourself.

[Adam Pally]

You don't want to be. Look at the people behind me.

[Cody Rigsby]

Right.

[Adam Pally]

You want to be. Wow.

[Cody Rigsby]

Wow.

[John Gabris]

I mean, I'm wearing sweatpants from yesterday, so I want to be in front.

[Adam Pally]

Of the camera, but.

[John Gabris]

And just stole Ronald McDonald's hamburger.

[Cody Rigsby]

I actually thought about, like, learning how to do standup. Like, if I had the time and.

[Adam Pally]

The bandwidth to do it, it would be. So a comedy special done on a peloton.

[Cody Rigsby]

There we go.

[Adam Pally]

Is just.

[Cody Rigsby]

Cause, like, I think I have the material, but I don't know how the. I don't know what the process is and how it's created.

[Adam Pally]

I mean, you don't even need to do Stand up. It's just you have all these stories about your very specific life.

[Cody Rigsby]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

It's like. And so any transition that you were gonna do to comedy, storytelling, wise people would. You would have to talk about this, you know? So, you know, I think as long as you're comfortable doing that, it's easy.

[John Gabris]

Why am I picturing, like, you, like, getting ready to do a show and you open your closet and it's just like, assorted spandex, and you're like, yeah.

[Adam Pally]

How do you pick the clothing for peloton? Because O. Yeah. I mean, that's enough.

[Cody Rigsby]

I believe in, like, looking. Looking hot at the gym. Like, you know, like, dressing the part.

[Adam Pally]

Saying the quiet part. Saying the quiet part out loud.

[John Gabris]

Well, my. My gym. The gym I train at in Los Angeles is on. Is right in the heart of WeHo. And it's got, like.

[Cody Rigsby]

Were you about to say on steroids?

[John Gabris]

Well, I was gonna say it's almost like.

[Cody Rigsby]

Because probably everybody there is on steroids.

[John Gabris]

Almost everybody there is on steroids. Hair and, like, peptides or whatever.

[Cody Rigsby]

Good for them.

[John Gabris]

It's the most buff, handsome men ever. And then, like, 12 beautiful women who feel safe there. And then, like, two huge, dumpy straight guys with tattoos who kind of nod to each other.

[Cody Rigsby]

You live in L. A?

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

Okay. Yeah. In West Hollywood? Yes.

[John Gabris]

I've been there for 13 years now.

[Cody Rigsby]

If you've been there for that long.

[John Gabris]

I just like the compliments. I just like, oh, yeah, yeah. It's stolen gay valor. Walk down, get a little wave from, like, muscle daddy.

[Adam Pally]

So what is the friend circle like for Cody Rigs? What are we looking for? We have, like, a group, a deep group of.

[Cody Rigsby]

No, I mean, my friends are really important to me because, like, I.

[John Gabris]

Me too.

[Cody Rigsby]

They should be. They feel like chosen family to me because they are the people that I've, like, developed into an adult with. And I think being gay, you come to New York from all these different places in the world trying to find a place that feels like home.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[Cody Rigsby]

And New York didn't feel like home until I really, really, like, created my. My. My core group of. Of friends, which has kind of, like, grown and changed over the years. And it's because of them that I feel like I'm actually, like, in the place that I'm supposed to be. Hell, yeah.

[Adam Pally]

That's beautiful.

[Cody Rigsby]

So I don't know. It's just a bunch of. How do we get into misfits? Yeah. And a bunch of misfits who, like. I don't know how I chose the Wrong family.

[John Gabris]

Well, it's actually. It's actually. You chose. You have a real family.

[Adam Pally]

I chose wrong.

[John Gabris]

You're.

[Cody Rigsby]

You're.

[John Gabris]

You didn't choose. Choose three kids.

[Adam Pally]

That shows you.

[Cody Rigsby]

Three kids.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, I know.

[Cody Rigsby]
