Key Discussion Points & Insights

Sunglasses Indoors and Podcast Fashion

• The trio opens with riffing on the increasing trend of wearing sunglasses on podcasts, ultimately making it a running bit about feeling empowered or "Bono-like" (00:09–02:30).
  • Blair Socci: “Thank you so much. Autistic Bono.” (00:48)
  • Adam Pally: “I think I could bench press more if I had sunglasses on when I hit the weights.” (01:29)

Blair’s Autism and ADHD Diagnosis

• Blair openly discusses her recent autism and ADHD diagnoses (her 1-year “diagno-versary”), emphasizing how it clarifies patterns she’s questioned throughout her life and career (04:51–09:00).
  • Blair Socci: “Mostly people kept coming up to me at shows being like, ‘I have autism, do you have autism?’ And I was like, ‘Get off me. I’m a jock. I don’t have autism’” (05:19)
  • She shares how her initial denial turned into acceptance, especially after considering the implications for future parenting.
  • Adam Pally: “Credit you first for being one of the few people to go out and get a diagnosis before just casually calling yourself autistic all the time.” (06:18)

Recontextualizing Life with a Diagnosis

• Blair describes how getting a diagnosis improved self-understanding and reduced frustration about things like low energy, literal thinking, and social interactions (11:21–13:02).
  • “It has helped me recontextualize so many things that I used to feel frustrated about.” (11:25)

The Culture of Self-Diagnosis & Comedy’s Neurodivergence

• The hosts discuss how stand-up attracts neurodivergent personalities and poke fun at the trendiness of labeling oneself (06:39–07:29).
  • Adam Pally: "It does feel like the way braces were when I was in seventh grade in 1993, where everyone’s like, I kind of low key want them." (06:30)
  • Jon Gabrus: “A lot of artists are neurodivergent. Of course, because you do think in a different way...” (07:35)

Dating, Relationships, and Literal-Mindedness

• Blair shares the extra challenges of dating as a literal thinker, especially with straight men (12:00–12:30).
  • Adam Pally: “Never assume what a guy is thinking. Just always ask them. It’s dumber and less important than you think it is.” (12:35)
  • Jon Gabrus: “Anyone that’s dated straight men would probably say that is very difficult.” (12:15)

Nighttime Rituals & Staying Alive Routines

• Blair is deep in the "wellness rabbit hole": red light masks, vibration plates, peptides (including the “Wolverine Stack”), Pedialyte, and tracking steps — with a personal spin on new-age health (17:31–19:10).
  • Blair Socci: “I’m on the vibration plate. I got the red light... I’m looking into these peptides, the GHKs, you know, the skin, the sleep one, the Wolverine stack.” (17:46–18:09)

The Comedy Grind: Eating, Sleeping, and Schedules

• Discussion about the uniquely unhealthy habits comedians develop: eating late night, post-show cravings, and the eternal search for comfort (19:01–22:14).
  • Blair Socci: “Once a month, I shut the blinds, order a large pizza, and eat it on my floor — that’s my spa.” (21:55)

Food Obsessions and Sandwich Discourse

• The trio gets into an extended, loving dive on LA and NYC sandwich spots, food rituals, and late-night food choices. There are deep cuts into focaccia sandwiches, the cauliflower pizza trend, and the psychological comfort of “going to the spa” aka ordering a pizza for oneself (27:01–37:27).
  • Adam Pally: “Collie power Cauliflower frozen pizzas... it fucking rips, dude. It fucking rips. Hit that with a couple and then I make my own ranch at home.” (27:14)
  • Blair Socci: “Chechy’s on Sunset... the lasagna is some of the best I’ve ever had in my life.” (30:02)

Weed Gummies & Wellness Gadgets

• Blair details her disciplined approach to edibles—strictly at night, always a low dose, part of her bedtime “wellness” stack (32:24–33:17).
  • “I stay at 5mg. My tolerance never increases. And I get blasted to the moon every night to go to sleep.” (32:34)

Running, Fitness, and the Mental Game

• The hosts discuss their love/hate relationship with running, inspired by recent guests and the desire to fight “dad bod.” Adam is training for a relay, and Jon flaunts the simple satisfaction of losing some weight (34:43–35:37).

Hot Girl Sh*t, Matcha, TikTok Trends

• Blair explains her research on “hot girl” trends and her attempts to blend in by trying “matcha” and the now-viral chicken Caesar wrap — with mixed results (35:40–36:28).

Blair’s OnlyFans Fiasco

• A standout story: Blair’s viral tweet joke about foot pics leads her to open an OnlyFans for “ankles down, no hole,” which is quickly shot down by her agents concerned about her eligibility for children’s programming (57:56–61:37).
  • Blair Socci: “It could not be more explicit. Nobody is going to think anything besides, relax, Bob Iger. I said no hole.” (60:14)
  • The guys advise on the pitfalls and business strategy in adult content, striking a tone of support and irreverence.

The Podcast Plug: “Spaced Out”

• Blair plugs her podcast “Spaced Out,” which combines pop culture, mental health, womanhood, and “a little aliens” (41:43–42:23).
  • Blair Socci: “Basically it’s about pop culture, mental health, womanhood, and then a little aliens... I’m really trying to appeal to female readers.” (41:19)

Stand-Up, Imposter Syndrome, and Comedy Family

• All three discuss feeling like outsiders, the challenges of stand-up, and their love for “roasting” in the context of care (45:46–46:22; 65:23–66:22).
  • Blair Socci: “If I know you like me... basically you could say anything to me to make fun of me. It does not hurt me... it almost makes the love deeper.” (66:15)

Final Thoughts

Blair’s unique blend of vulnerability and bravado makes for an episode that’s equally entertaining and sneakily wise, whether discussing neurodivergence, wellness hacks, or just the art of a perfect midnight pizza.

Transcript

[Blair Socci]

Smart. Less medium.

[John Gabris]

I'm noticing sunglasses a lot more on pods lately. Have you noticed that?

[Blair Socci]

I haven't noticed that at all.

[John Gabris]

I noticed it.

[Blair Socci]

I'm kidding. I know.

[John Gabris]

Aren't you noticing it?

[Blair Socci]

No, I do. I wear sunglasses only on mine.

[John Gabris]

Oh.

[Blair Socci]

But yeah, so. And then I try to do it on average and everyone shits on me, but it's like, I can't have full makeup or.

[John Gabris]

No, I don't care.

[Adam Pally]

I look.

[John Gabris]

For us, this is like. This gives us an excuse to wear our sunglasses. When I saw you came in with them, I'm like, I'm putting my sunglasses on.

[Blair Socci]

These are actually the. They're like the. They are. I swear to God. They're prescription and they're light lens. These are like, you can wear.

[John Gabris]

You're like Bono.

[Blair Socci]

Thank you so much. Autistic Bono. And you can wear them inside.

[John Gabris]

We have to ask more.

[Adam Pally]

Autistic Bono.

[John Gabris]

We have to ask you about that.

[Blair Socci]

Everyone wants to ask me about it.

[John Gabris]

You know what I'm so excited about is that our next guest wanted us to wear sunglasses.

[Adam Pally]

I know. It makes me very excited because it's

[John Gabris]

like my natural state.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. I feel like people on podcasts now. Our next guest wears sunglasses on her podcast.

[John Gabris]

Yes.

[Adam Pally]

But I feel like for some reason, when dudes have them on on podcasts, it annoys me.

[John Gabris]

I hate it. Yeah, I hate it.

[Adam Pally]

But having permission to wear them is making me very like. Because I. I think I could bench press more if I had sunglasses on when I hit the weights.

[John Gabris]

The only thing I don't like, if

[Adam Pally]

I had no shirt and sunglasses, I bet you my bench would go up 15, 100%.

[John Gabris]

The only thing I don't like doing with sunglasses on is playing basketball. Everything else, I prefer to have sunglasses on.

[Adam Pally]

You got to wear, like, Horace Grant.

[John Gabris]

Like, that's the only thing I don't like wearing. Or like, and there's always one. Or like, when you're in a pickup game, there's always one guy at the park who won't take his sunglasses off, fall off. Every time. He's like, wait. Oh. You know, it's like, I don't. I don't want that, but I can. I'm better at everything else wearing my sunglasses.

[Adam Pally]

You know, I'm a big sunglass guy. You know, I'm a big beach guy. But I take them off when I go in the water, but not everyone does. And they're like. I'm like, bro, you. A wave is going to come. Like, was that.

[John Gabris]

Take them off in a pool?

[Adam Pally]

Oh, yeah, well, a pool is a different.

[John Gabris]

If I'm in a pool and I. And I'm confident in the sunglass, that it's not like some fancy, dainty sunglass.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

I'm going to the pool with it.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, sure. You've seen my move, right? Jump in the pool, holding my sunglasses over the water. Come up and then put them.

[John Gabris]

I mean, I've learned that move from you. I mean, that's. That's that I. I'm okay with my sunglasses in that body of water.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, yeah, that's fine. They're easy to find if shit hits the fan, you know, like.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, exactly.

[Adam Pally]

But I, I. I was. I went to the beach with a friend, and she wore a hat and glasses in the ocean. I'm like, I think that's a really bad idea. She's like, well, I'm not gonna go out too far. I'm like, the way the ocean doesn't care where you are, it just changes. Whenever it changes, it changes.

[John Gabris]

No, no, no wave.

[Adam Pally]

She got absolutely rocked. She came up, her bathing suit was gone. Like, everything was gone. And I was like, are you gonna be okay?

[John Gabris]

Well, that's one of my favorite algorithm things that sometimes I get fed, like, on my loop of of. Because, like, stuff comes in and out of my algorithm, and one of the things lately I'm getting is, like, wave crashes.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, hell yeah.

[John Gabris]

And they're great. Like, sometimes it'll be like, a sailboat, and you'll always hear the guy filming it being, like, can't park there. Then a wave comes, sailboat crashes. Like, love that. Or it's like some, like, mom walking with the kid at the beach, and the kid. And then the kid runs off. She's like, come back. You're gonna get hit by a boom. She gets hit by a wave. It's like, I get those. I get served those so much.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. There's something powerful about seeing, like, like, someone staging, like, a really corny beach photo, getting absolutely reamed by a wave.

[John Gabris]

Same thing with a log flume hit.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, yeah.

[John Gabris]

Love a log flume hit where, like, a little kid gets thrown into a metal barrier.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, my uncle did that to us the first time we were ever at Disney. He's like, wait, let me take your picture. And we were so dumb, and. And me and my brothers and my mom all lined up, and we just got douched with a wave.

[John Gabris]

That's a bad uncle.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

He's like,

[Adam Pally]

you, You. I should have known by that event. But, yes, you're right. He was Very much a bad uncle.

[John Gabris]

Turned out. I want to know anymore.

[Adam Pally]

Turned out. Well, yeah, not like.

[John Gabris]

I don't want to know anymore.

[Adam Pally]

Not. Not arrest him for. Well, arrest him. But for pills.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Pally]

For selling, buying, and taking pills.

[John Gabris]

But that's an uncle. When the uncle's like, you're soaking.

[Adam Pally]

When you have Uncle Nelson from Simpson. That guy.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, that. But he's all grown up.

[Adam Pally]

The only car I could.

[John Gabris]

With my celery.

[Adam Pally]

Let's all laugh at the bully. Blair Psaki Sochi.

[John Gabris]

No, she lets me call her.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. Yeah. She lets you call her the wrong name.

[John Gabris]

You know, we. We have. When. When you do your podcast and stuff.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

The guests were making lists of, like, who's coming in and what's going on. And so our producer was, like, going through what topics to talk about, and she mentioned that in her recent autism diagnosis.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah. One year ago.

[John Gabris]

So I didn't. I didn't. We. I didn't know that. And I was like, we should. We should check this before we call Blair autistic.

[Adam Pally]

If you go, like, the moment after we ask, you go, what are you guys talking about?

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Excuse me.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. So you recently had an autism diagnosis.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah. No, I appreciate you asking my consent. It is actually all over the Internet, much to my parents chagrin. They're like, don't tell people that. No, I did get that. I went to. I. Well, there were many factors, but people. Mostly people kept coming up to me at shows being like, I have autism. Do you have autism? And I was like, what are you seeing? I was like, get off me. I'm a jock. I don't have autism.

[Adam Pally]

You could be both.

[Blair Socci]

I went to prom three times. I don't have autism.

[John Gabris]

Not mutually exclusive.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, well, Michael, I didn't know that.

[John Gabris]

I could tell you a few.

[Adam Pally]

Alex, hold that guy free solos, and he's hell of an athlete, but I think he's Tim Duncan. Wade Bob.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Blair Socci]

I would have never, ever thought Wade Boggs.

[John Gabris]

I mean, the guy that only ate fried chicken before he went up and drank 12 beers and was like, no, that's. I have to do that.

[Blair Socci]

That's really cool. I love that.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. But so. So what? Was there something that they were seeing in the in.

[Adam Pally]

Well, we should credit you first for being one of the few people to go out and get a diagnosis before just casually calling yourself autistic all the time.

[Blair Socci]

Well, I wasn't trying to. I wasn't the diagnosis.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, I know. I wasn't like. But it does feel like the way braces were when I was in seventh grade in 1993, where everyone's like, I kind of low key want them.

[Blair Socci]

I know, it is kind of annoying because it's like hack now.

[John Gabris]

I'm like, no, I don't think it's. I think. I think it's natural to question yourself to. To. To question yourself as you get older, because the older you get, you become more like. And you're a comic, so you're picking up on patterns. That's like your job anyways, like, picking up on patterns. So you're starting to see these like life behavior patterns. And you're like, is that normal that I do that? I mean, we were just talking about this. Like, I have. I have my own set of like OCD and all this stuff.

[Blair Socci]

I love that too.

[John Gabris]

And I. I've just noticed in. And as I've gone to therapy more intensely where I'm like, oh, that that behavior that I do casually is not a normal thing.

[Blair Socci]

Right.

[John Gabris]

And actually maybe triggering myself into a bad day.

[Blair Socci]

Sure.

[John Gabris]

You know, because of all my diagnosis is or whatever.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

I think it's natural to question yourself. And I think it's probably popular in our field because.

[Blair Socci]

Well, I think a lot of artists are neurodivergent. Of course, because you do think in a different way and stuff. But really, why? I was like, okay, this has been happening for a couple of years of people coming up to me, everyone asking

[Adam Pally]

you if you've watched Love on a special.

[Blair Socci]

People ask me all the time. They're like, you should go on that.

[John Gabris]

Didn't someone ask us that today?

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, I think Julie asked us if it was.

[John Gabris]

Someone asked us that too.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah. But really, I. What made me actually seek out a doctor was in case I had a kid, I was like, I want to know before and I want to know in case, like, I do have a kid and I have to parent.

[Adam Pally]

This is like you mid raw dog with somebody. Hold on. Just in case this. Just in case this works. I should run to the doctor.

[John Gabris]

Let me text my doc real quick before you bust.

[Adam Pally]

Hey, I'm taking the autism spectrum. I said before the autism test on my phone while.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, I'm probably not autistic. Okay. I was D1 motherfucker. But let's just check.

[John Gabris]

But I have to get this done right now.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, but yeah, that was why. And then I went through like a very extensive eight week evaluation and I also had adhd. And then after, once I got the diagnosis, Rosewood was sleeping over. When I finally got it that morning, I like burst out Crying. And for like a month after and therapy, I was like, I don't have that. Like, I'm just like, I know I'm already. I'm just a little weird. Like, you know, like, and then I re. Accepted it.

[Adam Pally]

Well, yeah. Like, it's not like you changed when you got that.

[Blair Socci]

I know. I don't have, like, it like a whole nother thing. I was just like, oh, Christ.

[John Gabris]

Of course there's always like.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, like, I don't want a doctor to tell me. Yeah, no, actually, your dick is pretty small, man. Like, I know it is. And, like, I'm.

[John Gabris]

What doctor are you going to.

[Adam Pally]

I got.

[Blair Socci]

What are we.

[Adam Pally]

Don Rickles?

[Blair Socci]

Gabriel, what are we talking here? Size wise? What is. What are saying? It's small.

[Adam Pally]

It's. You know what? It's. It's. That's a good question. It's.

[John Gabris]

It's fine.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, yeah, it's fine.

[John Gabris]

It's fine.

[Adam Pally]

It's fine. It's below average. But on my frame, it looks really small. But on your frame, I rise to the occasion. I'm a grower.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, grower.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

I must. I'm a.

[Blair Socci]

None of my business, honestly. You brought it up, so.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, it is none of your business. And I did bring it up. And then you asked a very intense follow up. What?

[John Gabris]

I just say neither of you are innocent.

[Adam Pally]

On that last go round. What if I just held up a perfect drawing of it? Like a charcoal drawing?

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Where would that fall? On the. On the, like, assault spectrum. Someone goes, gabriel, how big your dick? What are you looking at? And then you go, right here, picture of it. My doctor told me, like, a police drawing.

[Blair Socci]

No, I think police drawing would be consensual.

[John Gabris]

What about a bar mitzvah drawing where the head is bigger and it's like

[Adam Pally]

it's got a skateboard around?

[Blair Socci]

That's. That's funny. I don't know if all. I can't speak for all of my kind. I will not pretend I will be

[Adam Pally]

speaking on behalf of women for the later part of this podcast, so don't worry.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah. Pressure's off me.

[John Gabris]

Thank God. I can't. I can't understand a word they're saying.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

And, Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual, even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.

[Blair Socci]

Hey, everyone.

[Adam Pally]

Check out this guy and his bird. What is this, your first date?

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Oh, no. We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to A human. Him to a bird.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, the bird looks out of your league.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Anyways, get a [e-mail] or with your local agent.

[Adam Pally]

Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty. How has that changed for you? Is it giving? Are you looking for any tools to. Or is. Or are you just like, okay, well, now I have a label for something that I.

[Blair Socci]

Well, because everyone's like, why do you need a label? My parents, you know, all the especially older people and stuff. But really, I will say that it has. I do think it's beneficial to have it because it has helped me recontextualize so many things that I used to feel frustrated about. Or, like, I have very low energy and an extremely busy schedule. A lot of things. Like, I take everything extremely literally. Like, it never crosses my mind that people. Sometimes I can pick it up like five, six seconds later. I, of course, like, will realize, but at first I'm completely locked in like that. Of course, everyone, everything everyone says is 100% true.

[Adam Pally]

And as a working, that could be a little difficult.

[Blair Socci]

No, it's been a very difficult life dating straight men, if you can believe it. Yeah, no, there's. There's many things I don't.

[Adam Pally]

I don't think you need to be on the spectrum, dating straight man.

[John Gabris]

Anyone that's dated straight men would probably say that is very difficult.

[Blair Socci]

How do you know if a straight man is lying?

[Adam Pally]

He's talking.

[John Gabris]

They are.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, they are, because they just.

[John Gabris]

We are.

[Blair Socci]

That's so scary. Do you have any advice for me?

[John Gabris]

Just find the liar that lies the

[Adam Pally]

least I would say.

[Blair Socci]

I haven't heard that one before. That's pretty good.

[Adam Pally]

I would say, never assume what a guy is thinking. Just always ask them. It's dumber and less important than you think it is. Always.

[John Gabris]

Well, that's like if you're in a relationship.

[Adam Pally]

If you're in a relationship or you're dating someone, you're like, well, why can't he hang out today? That feels weird. Or. Why do you say it like this? I think almost 75% of follow ups, the guy would go like, I actually don't know, you know?

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, I realized I didn't think about that. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

[Adam Pally]

I think more frequently than not like the Murphy's Law. Wait. Occam's razor. That's Occam's razor.

[Blair Socci]

Biologist, huh?

[Adam Pally]

Excuse me.

[Blair Socci]

Okay.

[Adam Pally]

That's right. AP Bio, 1997. Shout out. Dr. Hollings. I crushed that shit.

[Blair Socci]

I. I went. I got sent to the principal's office in high school because I asked My bio honors teacher, if he was on his period.

[Adam Pally]

That's beautiful.

[John Gabris]

That's a gorgeous piece of comedy. I don't know why anyone would say anything other than that.

[Blair Socci]

I thought I was just having a little fun back and forth. Apparently not.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

Well, that's the kind of thing I think not to. You were saying it. It's hacked to be like for, for comics and for people to be like, oh, I have. I'm. I'm on this touch of the tism.

[Adam Pally]

You hear people say I hate the word tism.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, it sucks.

[Blair Socci]

They're like, have a little bit of the. Shut the fuck up about that. Use the whole word.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, yeah, but I was called.

[Adam Pally]

But I got a little bit of the hiv.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Like you can't talk, you can't talk about like.

[John Gabris]

But I think stuff, I think this is not defending the, the comedians that do that. But I think there is like we were saying before, like a general, you know, part of our job is to like pattern recognize. Pattern recognize, but also like push people's. But like, oh, yes, you know what I mean? Not like be offensive, but there is this like, like surprise is a laugh. That's why horror and comedy are not far from each other. You're getting a laugh off a surprise. That's how laughs work. So you're like part of our. As a comic, our inclination is to surprise you.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

You know, and in that you're like, well, how much of that is like the right amount or how much of it is like, I read the room like. Cause like so many of my stories are like, I read the room wrong. You know, and then you're like, eventually art is like, like, maybe the room's reading.

[Adam Pally]

You know, I just never put it together that maybe the room just doesn't want to hear from me right now. I'm so frequently like, time for me to chime in with my story. I just, everyone looks back at me, I'm like, yeah, that wasn't for me. That wasn't my time.

[Blair Socci]

No. I will say though, it is a very odd experience, like being the elevated age that I am and having people be like, you don't have that. You don't look like you have it. And I'm like, I'm not going to try. What am I, 11? I'm not gonna try and like prove to you. Yes, I do.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Blair Socci]

You know, I'm like, okay, 58 year

[Adam Pally]

old woman, you do your things your

[Blair Socci]

way or they just like, what do you think an autistic. They're like you don't look. You don't have autism. Like, you don't look like you have autism. Like, that says more about you and what you think autism looks like.

[Adam Pally]

My mom says that about anxiety.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

She's like, you don't have anxiety. I'm like, no, you do too. And she's like, now I don't. But I'm like, my mom. My mom's a nurse on that age.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, that's hilarious.

[John Gabris]

I think that's the age chasm. Like the woke up age. Cat. You know how, like, woke has been. The war of wokeness has been kind of an age thing where it's like, it doesn't matter if your parents are. Are liberal or conservative. They all. All of them are like, there's two genders. You know what I mean? It's like, it all. It's like there's an age thing where. And I remember my parents also being like, you don't. You're not depressed. Get out of bed.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah. Generation, no gap.

[Adam Pally]

They're like, you're never gonna get a job with a beard.

[John Gabris]

Right? There's like, yeah, but there's like these third.

[Adam Pally]

And I'm like, joann different out there also. I've had a beard now for 20 years. Drop it.

[John Gabris]

But I think specifically that age doesn't want to. It's like, don't tell me what I have.

[Adam Pally]

Right.

[John Gabris]

You know what I mean? Alcoholic. If I drink every night.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah. And they're afraid. And they're also afraid of what that means for you. Like, if you will be like, outcasted or not get work or something.

[John Gabris]

Right.

[Blair Socci]

Because, like, my mom goes on, she's like, should everybody. You should be telling everyone that, like, is that important. I'm like, it kind of is because it's a big part of myself and like, a lot of people are curious about it. So if they ask me about it, I'm going to tell the truth. Like, I'm not ashamed. I am a fudgeing freak. A cool one.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Yeah. You know, that doesn't have anything to do with autism.

[Blair Socci]

Thank you.

[Adam Pally]

You are also. You are a freak.

[Blair Socci]

Thank you.

[John Gabris]

So you're sitting here drinking Pedialyte.

[Adam Pally]

You're one of the few freaks in the streets and sheets is what people are saying.

[Blair Socci]

Really?

[John Gabris]

I would like to ask you real quick because you are drinking Pedialy.

[Blair Socci]

What?

[John Gabris]

So what are you doing? What's like, you're staying alive? Like, what? Mental and physical? Like, I want to hear the whole. I want to hear the whole thing.

[Blair Socci]

I am one of the Because I live alone and you know, am sort of someone not like who put zero effort into dating anyone. I'm all into like the wild. I'm on the vibration plate. I got the red light.

[John Gabris]

The vibration play is. Is the thing that you like do push ups on in the gym or

[Blair Socci]

you can, but I just stand there for lymphatic drainage.

[Adam Pally]

Just stand there until I orgasm takes

[Blair Socci]

me 45 minutes sitting on it. Okay, Gabriel, come on, please join us back down on earth, pal. Okay. And then I'm taking, you know, the liposomal glutathione. I'm on.

[John Gabris]

Okay, so that's intravenously Prozac.

[Blair Socci]

No, don't do the mouth. I'm looking into these peptides, the GHKs, you know, the skin, the sleep one, the Wolverine stack. The wolverine tissue repair.

[Adam Pally]

Yes, dog, there is a wolverine. When I. When someone told me what it was called, I was like, I need to get on it. And they're like, it's an injection every day. I'm like, oh, no.

[John Gabris]

I'm just. I just want to be putting a back to tank.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, let me float me. Yeah, you're a breath work person too.

[Blair Socci]

I know, but I haven't done that in a long time. Sorry if you thought differently about me. It's a real physical exercise. You really got to be in the mood. I'm doing. I do Just apologize to.

[John Gabris]

Who are you talking to? I mean, the sunglasses make it difficult to see the readers.

[Adam Pally]

Welcome back to Adam and Pally John Gamers. We're authors and podcasters.

[John Gabris]

I'm now reading the audiobook of the transcribed podcast of Staying Alive with Blair Sochi.

[Blair Socci]

Well, I try to hit my. I try to focus on protein. I do. To the 10k steps. And I gotta get into some strength training. Not there yet.

[John Gabris]

Hell yeah.

[Blair Socci]

And then I love to go. If I don't have a late show, I love to go to bed at night. That's right. That's my pleasure.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, that shows. Shows throw me off so much for eating. Yeah, it like.

[Adam Pally]

Because I don't like to eat before me either.

[John Gabris]

And the cutoff to eating before a show is like so much earlier than I think. It's like I really. If I want to be like really sharp, I gotta not eat after like 3 o'. Clock.

[Blair Socci]

God, none of this ever crosses my mind, ever. I will eat like a massive burrito right before I go on.

[John Gabris]

Oh, I can't do that anymore.

[Adam Pally]

Maybe I used to be able because then I start doing this.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, I used to be.

[Adam Pally]

I.

[John Gabris]

And I used To. And it slows my mind down. I feel like I.

[Adam Pally]

Like, I also kind of need the. Not to be the super fat guy here, but I need, like, a treat at the end where I'm like, oh, if. If I do a good show, then I can eat whatever I want after. And then it's like I attach eating to bedtime way too much.

[John Gabris]

Right?

[Adam Pally]

Just like, oh, this thing will put me down just like, famous.

[Blair Socci]

My ordering asked me if I have a low score. They just go, they. You eat late last night. I go, none of your business. Okay, you try working that late. All right? I was trying to ground. I flying high after that. Said, I'm trying to get back on the ground.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, I know.

[Adam Pally]

It is funny because you want to be like, hey, I'm not doing. I'm not drinking 12 beers and doing cocaine like I used to after a show. Yeah, now I'm just having a quesadilla. But it's me up more than the problem. Maybe I should just go back to drinking and drugs.

[John Gabris]

It's really hard because you're like, I don't. You. You haven't eaten before the show because you want to stay sharp. And then you come off, and it's like 10:30, 11.

[Adam Pally]

And you're. And your last two.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, and the last thing you have is a two. And you're like. And you're like, like, man, I'm feeling good. And then you end. You know, you end up eating more than you want. And so then the next day, you're like, fucking shit. You know, it's like it throws you off in this way that. That other jobs don't have.

[Blair Socci]

No, those jobs don't have it. I. Like, if I thought I ate, like, an appropriate, mature dinner 5 or 6pm all of a sudden, I finish my set at, like, 11 or whatever. I'm. Of course, I'm sitting on that freezer at the store getting one of their frozen pizzas.

[John Gabris]

100%.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, hell, yeah.

[John Gabris]

I'm a cop. Is that what you'd go for, a frozen pizza? Is that like a. Like, what's your. Like if you're gonna. If you were gonna, like, you know, throw all caution in the wind.

[Blair Socci]

I love to do that.

[John Gabris]

Where. What's your meal?

[Blair Socci]

Well, at the store, they only have pretzels, chicken.

[John Gabris]

What store are you going?

[Blair Socci]

Oh, the Comedy Store.

[John Gabris]

Oh, okay.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, sorry.

[John Gabris]

I thought you were talking about, like, this one store.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, no, I'm sorry about that. Oh, my God. I just. I was sorry about. To the readers about the inside baseball never Again.

[John Gabris]

No, it's okay.

[Blair Socci]

If I'm gonna. If I'm gonna go fucking hog wild. What I like to do, and I have done this for at least.

[Adam Pally]

Guys, get out of the green room. Blair's going h. Like, on all fours, eating a trough of pretzel nugs.

[Blair Socci]

Buddy, you have no idea what I've been doing.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, I have an idea, buddy. I got a bit of an idea.

[Blair Socci]

For at least two decades, I've been going to the spa. And what the spa is, is once a month, when I shut the blinds, order a large pizza, and eat it on my floor.

[Adam Pally]

Hell yeah, I'm a tarp.

[Blair Socci]

And that's what I do. A full month. Spirit. Emotional reset is when I go to the spa.

[John Gabris]

Once a month.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, once a month.

[Adam Pally]

Month.

[John Gabris]

I've been to that spot.

[Adam Pally]

I love that.

[Blair Socci]

I love going to spot.

[Adam Pally]

I do that too, but with a. With a full release after I eat my pizza.

[Blair Socci]

Really? You can still get there?

[John Gabris]

Well, I'm coming out of both holes.

[Adam Pally]

When I eat the eight slice, I just bust, no matter what.

[John Gabris]

And busting can mean.

[Adam Pally]

It could mean almost anything.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, a bottle of ranch, too. It's so nasty.

[John Gabris]

Like, oh, that's a west Coast.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, it's hard. I can't have anyone see it. Like, it's, It'll change their lot. Like, what they saw.

[John Gabris]

They can't see you on stage after.

[Adam Pally]

I prefer to eat like a gremlin. You know, like, after. And under the guy, like, hunched over.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

You know, squatting.

[John Gabris]

You know, there's nothing more freeing to me than, like, when you've, like, you've done a long day of work of whatever you're doing right. Where you've, like, maxed out work, whether it's like, you're, you're. You've done five sets, or you're, like, you've, you're. You've shot 18 hours, and you've watched what you've eaten the entire time and everything. And you're like, I've been really good today, and I'm feeling good. And someone goes, should we get pizza? And you're like, like, yes, get pizza. And that.

[Blair Socci]

I need that reward.

[John Gabris]

You, like, there's something so freeing of

[Adam Pally]

being like, I want pizza. Attack that pizza.

[John Gabris]

I, I, I had that the other night where I wrapped at, like, 9, and I was so good all day. And someone was like, hey, we did it. Should we get pizza?

[Blair Socci]

Right?

[John Gabris]

It's like, yeah, let's get a pizza. I ate, like, four slices in two seconds in a way that people were like, hey, who ate all the.

[Blair Socci]

Like, right? I've always been that person my whole life. It's so z.

[John Gabris]

Like, I need to get at least one slice of each pizza. And then I was like, well, I like this one the best. And then I was like, half.

[Adam Pally]

I ate 11 slices of pizza at my soccer team's car wash when I was in, like, ninth grade. And the coaches, like, called my parents.

[John Gabris]

Light work.

[Blair Socci]

They called your parents?

[Adam Pally]

They were like, jonathan, eat over a pie today. They were like, make sure I was okay when I got home.

[John Gabris]

You rolled out of there like a ghost.

[Blair Socci]

It was medical. I thought they were ratting your ass out.

[Adam Pally]

No, it was like they were like

[Blair Socci]

a Long island baby.

[Adam Pally]

They were like, you might be. Be like, he might be really sick later. And my parents were like, no, he's a golden retriever.

[Blair Socci]

My problem is I could do the same thing. Like, I could put down a whole pizza with ease, without any strain.

[John Gabris]

Me too.

[Blair Socci]

Like, I don't know why.

[John Gabris]

Me too.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah. And then the other nasty, nasty thing I do that I can't have anyone see is I like popcorn in a huge metal bowl. And then I pour olive oil all over it. And then I pour hot sauce all over it. And it just looks I'm in some sort of vampiric stupor with my hands all grease red all over. Absolutely nasty. Because I had a one to two gummy night gummies before. I don't know where I am. It's a blackout, you know?

[John Gabris]

Yeah. The hot sauce must get close to your eyes in that.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, well, she's got sunglasses.

[John Gabris]

Wearing your goggles.

[Blair Socci]

I train these bad boys. They're used to it by now. Huh? Nothing really gets them going.

[John Gabris]

Wow. I've never seen you actually blink. It's an odd experience.

[Adam Pally]

Long one long, slow blink a min.

[Blair Socci]

Long swell blink.

Now that I live alone too, I'm a frozen pizza guy.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, yeah?

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. Whoops.

[Blair Socci]

How's that go?

[Adam Pally]

That was a weird thing to say on the podcast.

[John Gabris]

The amount of times he's like, let out, out. Let, let it out. And. And someone's like, wait, what?

[Adam Pally]

I'm like, right? I keep forgetting. But yeah, I'm trying not to order late at night. That's like my new like, I'm trying. So I have some freezer snacks and one of my go tos is and I'll shout out the brand Collie power Cauliflower frozen pizzas. So it's a cauliflower crust, but they do fun toppings and it's like 800 calories for a whole wine. The cauliflower will get you a little gas, but it'll make me feel less bad than actual dough.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, really?

[Adam Pally]

And they have a bunch of different flavors. They use real uncured pepperoni on the pepperoni one, but they also have a dill pickle pizza. And it fucking rips, dude. It fucking rips. Hit that with a couple and then I make my own ranch at home.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, you fucking sick.

[John Gabris]

You're living alone.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, I use zero low non fat Greek yogurt and ranch seasoning and whip it together.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, actually that sounds not bad.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, it gets you in the territory of ranch. Not the exact texture that you want.

[John Gabris]

You could probably put a little of the like dip powder in that yolk.

[Adam Pally]

No, that's exactly what the shaker is. Just that. Yeah, you could do either one, the dip powder or that.

[Blair Socci]

How about this bullshit of cured meats becoming a classic carcinogen? I can't tell you I'm happy about that. That's about my second favorite food.

[John Gabris]

My people in that happen.

[Adam Pally]

My people didn't take the boat from

[John Gabris]

fucking with your people.

[Blair Socci]

I know. I'm not happy about it, pal, because I've been putting that down. I thought I was in the clear being, you know, half I Thought, okay, my. And it feels great going down that in my body feel.

[Adam Pally]

We took a Fotch with to the Dome yesterday.

[John Gabris]

I took a fak to the dome.

[Blair Socci]

To the Dome.

[John Gabris]

We went to this spot was amazing.

[Adam Pally]

Where it's called Mamie. It's at Fairfax in Santa Monica. It's like a new like Italian street food place and they do these focaccia sandwiches and I got fucking prosciutt, gorgonzola, pistache, a rug. It was a fucking beast.

[John Gabris]

I went a little harder. I got. I got burrata.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, well, you got a full blown sandwich with the ingredients they picked and

[John Gabris]

then added pudo on top of it. But. But it was a mortadella with bar and pistachio fig jam. Yeah. With like a mountain of arugula and a bunch of balsamic la.

[Adam Pally]

Highly, highly recognized.

[Blair Socci]

How you guys become privy to this Italian street stand?

[Adam Pally]

I live near it.

[John Gabris]

Oh, shit. Oh. If someone's making focaccia within a mile and a half, he floats out the door like a. Like a animated bear.

[Adam Pally]

I have, I have reviews of I'm ch. I'm a coast ginzo. I'm chasing that semolina.

[John Gabris]

I don't like ginzo is an okay thing to say. I don't think that's an okay. I know it's like all cool to be like all the Italians, but ginzo just. It's a harsh consonant.

[Adam Pally]

I think I'm saying it as a compliment and I'm saying it about myself.

[Blair Socci]

Right.

[John Gabris]

Still tough to hear.

[Adam Pally]

You know, there are positive slurs like, Let me list 11.

[John Gabris]

No, no, no.

[Blair Socci]

For your protection. Can we bleep that one?

[John Gabris]

Ginzo?

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Gabris]

Thank you.

[Adam Pally]

If we bleep ginzo, the crowd's going to be like, what is he saying? You know me, I'm a fudgeing.

[John Gabris]

It's what, you know, it's better. Yeah, Let them use their imagination.

[Adam Pally]

So I know about all the Italian sandwiches that open up around. I chase them all down trying to find who I knew.

[Blair Socci]

I know who I got to get the info from.

[John Gabris]

Well, what is your favorite sando out here?

[Blair Socci]

Well, I will say for the type of kind of food that you guys just referenced, is this place called Chechy's. Have you ever been? No, it's on Sunset, kind of near overpass, like head gum. And it's these, these people from Italy that moved here, I don't know, five years ago. And it's a really small stand. They make everything fresh. Like the lasagna is some of the best. I'VE ever had in my life. They have incredible focaccia. They have great sandwiches similar to the ones that you guys described. It's really, really good.

[Adam Pally]

I'm in.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

Sounds good. Yeah. Because like the other, the only other sandwich place that I really frequent out here is Larchmont. Wine and cheese.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, hell yeah.

[John Gabris]

That's a great sandwich. That's kind of my go to sandwich spot. But this, this place was wildly good.

[Adam Pally]

You got a Giada near you?

[Blair Socci]

Yes.

[Adam Pally]

They're pretty solid too. Potato chips. Pretty solid.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, I love potato chips.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[Blair Socci]

You know, I gotta say, and, and I don't. I don't care if your whole throng of readers come at me. I. I'm not into the chicken Caesar app, you know, that is.

[Adam Pally]

Calm down.

[Blair Socci]

I know.

[John Gabris]

Don't worry, it's gonna be a while. Because reading takes him longer to understand.

[Adam Pally]

Well, that's how I know you're not that advanced in age as you are elevated in age, as you say. Because. Because the chicken Caesar rap was like such a thing. Like it came on.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, we already had that. Yeah.

[Blair Socci]

Is that true?

[Adam Pally]

We had it. It was like.

[Blair Socci]

Oh. Because like it took. I feel like it took la by absolute storm the last year or two. And I was back in a way. I just love like kind of dabbling in what the hot girls are doing, you know, And I'm on the. And I. I'm on the. I don't take talk a lot. And they're all eating these goddamn chicken

[Adam Pally]

hot girls on TikTok talk.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, yeah. I follow the makeup girls. You know, I don't know what I'm doing after I take my night gummy. Who knows what's going to happen? I'm as an alien.

[Adam Pally]

It's an olive oil popcorn hot sauce. Put it under your eyes.

[John Gabris]

Sounds like. Also, you're not exactly taking these gummies just at nighttime. You're referring to them as nighttime gummies, but yet you're like in the kitchen.

[Blair Socci]

No, no, no. They're only night. I only indulge at night when right before bed. Never ever before because I can't be a lazy person, right? So I'm never indulging in the daytime. Some people, I. No, Jud. There's people like my good friend Ron Funches who's up at 6:00am workout. You know, he smokes the whole. He's able to do it.

[Adam Pally]

There are people who smoke weed all day long and still do their jobs.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, lots of people.

[John Gabris]

Let's not judge them.

[Blair Socci]

I'm saying for me personally, if And I never go up in dose. I stay at 5mg. My tolerance never increases.

[Adam Pally]

Amazing.

[Blair Socci]

And I get blasted to the moon every night to go to sleep. I take the sleep ones, but when I start going, if I have any sort of cannabis in my system, I go me mute. So, like, I can. And I want to only be horizontal.

[Adam Pally]

Like, I never want to stand, but I can see.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah. So I. I'm not someone who ever has any product socially, because I don't

[Adam Pally]

speak right when you're talking night gummies. What brand are we talking? We talking. Plus, we talking.

[Blair Socci]

I've tried them all, pal.

[Adam Pally]

But which one, which one's your favorite? Because I like. I like the wild nighttime gummies, though.

[Blair Socci]

I have the blackberries, the Camino, the sleepy something. Yeah, I've tried them all.

[Adam Pally]

You're. And you're doing the ones that are thc, cbd, and CBN blend.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah. With melatonin and Stu. Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Hell yeah.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

I do that and heroin to go to sleep.

[Blair Socci]

That's a good combo.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

And I run myself into a wall.

[Adam Pally]

It's called a slow ball.

[John Gabris]

I run my face into a wall. Are you a big runner into walls? No. Yeah. I have been running terrible depth, per se. I have been running a lot lately. I started, I don't know, we had.

[Adam Pally]

What are you running from?

[John Gabris]

My fat.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, same.

[John Gabris]

I'm running from being fat. I, I, I.

[Adam Pally]

We've had.

[John Gabris]

We had a bunch of people on

[Adam Pally]

and we got, like, inspired by guests who were.

[John Gabris]

A common theme was like, there's something about running, especially, I mean, when I'm traveling or on the road. It's like, it's a nice way to see whatever city I'm in by, like, getting up early and doing a run.

[Blair Socci]

Like, that's so impressive.

[John Gabris]

And, like, I just feel better when I running, so I've been running a little bit.

[Blair Socci]

That's great. I actually ran yesterday for the first time since Thanksgiving, and I just. I was like, all you have to do 20 minutes. That's good. But it was hills, and it was really hard, and I could barely breathe. See, I did it.

[John Gabris]

I don't fuck with hills. Like, everyone says that. That's how you, you, like, really, like, lose weight for money.

[Adam Pally]

It's mostly Kate Bush that says that.

[Blair Socci]

Okay, that's cool.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know why people didn't listen to her the first time. It took like, 15 years before, after she said it.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. Now it's. Now her theory is back hard for some reason.

[Blair Socci]

Whoa.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. But I. Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Worthy detour.

[Blair Socci]

Are you, are you.

[Adam Pally]

Do you like don't like to run? But I do do it.

[Blair Socci]

You do do it.

[Adam Pally]

Wow.

[Blair Socci]

So you guys are. Wow, you're both on the running train?

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, I just started running again recently. Cuz I'm. I'm doing a race at the end of the summer.

[Blair Socci]

Which one?

[Adam Pally]

I'm doing Hood to Coast in Oregon.

[Blair Socci]

How, how many?

[Adam Pally]

It's like 200 something miles. But you, you only run like, you only run like three 5 mile legs of it. It's like over 30 hours. It's like a big relay race. We did it a couple years ago. You go from Mount Hood to the Oregon coast.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, that sounds gorgeous.

[John Gabris]

And you like camp and stuff?

[Blair Socci]

That sounds really fun.

[Adam Pally]

It was a lot of fun. And so now I'm doing it again. But I'm I' something pounds recently so running was wild and I'm, I haven't ran in a long time and when I started up again I'm like, oh, it's a little easier when I'm not wearing like a baby Bjorn on the front of me.

[John Gabris]

Right.

[Adam Pally]

Like a toddler in it.

[John Gabris]

No, for real. Yeah, Push ups have gotten easier too, I feel like because I've lost a little weight and it's like, oh, I'm not pushing as much weight back up.

[Adam Pally]

Yes. Stairs have gotten easier. Getting out of bed has gotten easier.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

You know. So you're dabbling in hot girl shit. What does that mean?

[Blair Socci]

Oh, I mean like I just, you know, like I like to see what the girls are up to and see.

[John Gabris]

But you don't consider yourself a hot girl?

[Blair Socci]

No, I don't not consider myself a hot girl but like I probably the girls I'm talking about I think are younger than me.

[John Gabris]

Okay. Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

You're not talking about like hot girl Tm like hot girl influencers, like the trip.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John Gabris]

Right, okay. You're talking about like young.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, like the influencer girls. And so I was like, yeah, I wanted. The girls seem to really be drinking matcha. I'll. I'm going to give it a spin. Couldn't get into it once. About once every eight months I say I'll try it again. And I'm like okay, maybe this one's a little better. But you know, I like to see what they're up to. So I tried the chicken Caesar wrap and I was like, I like these things separately, but together it's just not for me.

[John Gabris]

There are good ones like in New York. In New York there's this place Called Lenwich that.

[Blair Socci]

Oh yeah, I know. That place is good.

[John Gabris]

Does a quality chicken. It's probably known as like the best chicken Caesar. The ubiquitous. Like anyone in New York would be like, that's the best chicken caesar.

[Adam Pally]

The place I was telling you about the other day, Carla Cafe has a good. Carla Cafe.

[Blair Socci]

This is a food review show. You know what I just thought of? When I used to live in New York, my favorite place to eat a sandwich was this place called Numpang. Do they still have that?

[Adam Pally]

Oh, I don't know.

[Blair Socci]

It was so good. I would eat like the catfish sandwich. I would get like the bon me. I mean I. They had everything. They were so good.

[John Gabris]

I lived on 7th between BNC where and the deli. Still. It's like a legendary New York deli called Sunny and Annie's. And their menu is enormous and they only have like a microwave. Microwave. Well, but you'd be like, I'll have the soft shell crab po boy. And be like, yeah, no problem. And then you'd like go get a like a soda and you'd come back and there'd be like the crispiest.

[Blair Socci]

Wow.

[John Gabris]

You're like, where did you cook that? You know, and it's still there. It's the best.

[Blair Socci]

Wow. I guess I'll have to check it out next year.

[John Gabris]

Put it on your New York list there.

[Adam Pally]

Cobble Hill Cinemas on Court Street. I used to live over by there and used to like the trick was you could sneak anything in there. So we'd always bring like tall boys and dinner in there and nothing better

[John Gabris]

than a sandwich in a movie.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. So we would bring. And one time we brought food. Shrimp pasta in Tupperware in it.

[John Gabris]

That's wild.

[Adam Pally]

We're like, we're going to eat like

[John Gabris]

that's like Alamo Drafthouse before Alamo Draft Dog.

[Adam Pally]

We. And we were ready to eat these big Tupperware and then sat right in front of us were people we knew. We were like. So I leaned forward.

[Blair Socci]

Was it crowded?

[Adam Pally]

It was crowd. It was full theater.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, you didn't go like an. You're not talking about a matinee. You.

[Adam Pally]

Sometimes it's a matinee.

[Blair Socci]

But you went shrimp pasta prime time.

[Adam Pally]

I went shrimp. Shrimp pasta at an evening dinner time movie.

[John Gabris]

You're a Hasidic Jew. Business class.

[Adam Pally]

I know. And we were so. Well, they wouldn't have shrimp, but otherwise

[John Gabris]

opening up a tuna sandwich.

[Adam Pally]

I. So we sit down and the people in front of us are like. And we're like, oh, hey Kevin. He's like, oh, what's up, gamer? So I'm like, hey, dude, heads up. We brought shrimp pasta, so we're sorry. And he goes, oh, I'm so glad you said something. We brought catfish banh mi. And I was like, wait, that's the only thing grosser than what I could. What? I.

[Blair Socci]

That sounds so made up. That's the wildest thing. That's.

[Adam Pally]

When you said catfish banh mi, it triggered that whole rat.

[John Gabris]

The rats in that movie theater must be the size of my dog.

[Blair Socci]

They probably got him from Numpang. Shout out, Numpang. I still remember you all these years later, baby.

[Adam Pally]

I'll never forget you.

[Blair Socci]

I'll never forget.

[John Gabris]

I hope they're reading my pang.

[Blair Socci]

I'm doing a podcast. Oh, thank you so much for that beautiful segue.

[John Gabris]

That was getting good at it.

[Blair Socci]

Natural.

[John Gabris]

I'm getting good at it.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, it's called the Spaced Out Podcast. I never wanted to do a podcast before this very moment that I started one. It was like the first time I authentically wanted to do one. And my brother came up with a name before he died. I always used to. To talk to him about like space stuff. Cuz.

[John Gabris]

Space stuff. Like. Like outer space. The ethos.

[Adam Pally]

Like.

[John Gabris]

Like Carl.

[Adam Pally]

Like Carl Sagan.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, like the ethos. The ethos. You know, like the cosm.

[Sponsor Announcer]

Space.

[John Gabris]

The cosmos.

[Blair Socci]

The cosmos. The cosmos. Yeah. Most likely extraterrestrial activity and. But only in like a little cheeky way. I'm not like fully nuts, you know what I mean? But basically it's about pop culture, mental health, womanhood and then a little aliens is sort of the log line. I'm really trying to appeal to female readers because, you know, I have a lot of somehow the somehow have a male audience when I'm just. All I do is on men. I don't know how.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, because I gotta complain. I gotta explain that.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, you're.

[Blair Socci]

I can't.

[Adam Pally]

You're funny.

[John Gabris]

You're funny looking and you're imagining.

[Adam Pally]

And men get to be. And men get to go there and

[John Gabris]

men get to be like I like this.

[Blair Socci]

That's crazy. You guys are crazy.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, I.

[Adam Pally]

We're not gonna p back against that at all. Dudes are nuts.

[Blair Socci]

Like I. I think. Cuz I would think that all my comedy is for women.

[John Gabris]

You know, you'd be wrong about that.

[Adam Pally]

Well, that's how universal that.

[John Gabris]

That's how universal. That's how universal your humor is.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, thank you very much.

[John Gabris]

Appeals to. To women and men that hate themselves.

[Adam Pally]

My humor is mostly for bulldogs, I've noticed.

[Blair Socci]

Really?

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Because I like wave sausages around most of the time when I'm on stage

[John Gabris]

and I find mine is fun for a one specific divorce loyal.

[Blair Socci]

Wait, so season two coming back of a million one ways to party before you die.

[John Gabris]

Dude, if it was you would be partying right there.

[Adam Pally]

We wouldn't be doing this. If we could be on the.

[Blair Socci]

That was. I love that show. I was like, I never want to watch two guys party more in my life.

[John Gabris]

We would bring you with us. It was so much fun. It's so much fun. It was the. But it was. We talk about it all the time in the. And people like it was still work. Right? And we're like, no, no, there's none of that. It really was like even that really

[Adam Pally]

felt like we stole a car.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Like it really felt like we stole a car. Holy shit. They're going to pull us over at

[John Gabris]

Some point, you know, they did when the valet and his buddy in Ferris Bueller pull the car out and, like, over. And you just see the back of the car go over. That's what. Shooting. That.

[Blair Socci]

When you got. When I remember, like, before you guys even started doing it. And, like, I saw that, I got greenlit. I was. Hell, I was like, yeah, that's incredible. How did they trick those people?

[Adam Pally]

That's exactly what we felt the whole time.

[John Gabris]

That's. Yeah, we felt. And we. I do think, like, the thing we always say about it is that we. We left it all out on the field.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

I mean. I mean, I. I came back from that show wrecked in a way. 20 pounds heavier than I left wrecked in a way. Depressed.

[Adam Pally]

I came back.

[John Gabris]

The alcohol and drugs, like, drained my dopamine. Dopamine. I couldn't even, like, my kids came

[Adam Pally]

running, I should say, for the sake of the network. No one was. They didn't want us to do drugs. But that was just you and I.

[John Gabris]

That was me doing drugs.

[Blair Socci]

Benadryl.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

The amount of, like. Just like, the amount every. The amount of everything. Like, I was so drained of doing my kids. Like, when we got home, we're like, daddy, Daddy. I was like,

[Blair Socci]

and you did that for all the readers out there.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, we just did it for our.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

And we've been begging someone to let us do it again.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, man. It was like the one time in this entire industry that my. Like, my entire career that my imposter syndrome was not activated.

[Blair Socci]

So because.

[Adam Pally]

Because I was just out there and I was like, wait, I'm actually good at this. And what I mean by this is getting fucked up with Adam Pali and going to restaurants. I'm like, wait, I have 10,000 hours in this. Like, I'm an actual expert at this specific thing. Just doing bits with your homie at fucking restaurants. Like, half in the back bag. It's like, oh, my. That was like the dream.

[John Gabris]

No, no, no, don't worry.

[Blair Socci]

Do you think I'm out?

[Adam Pally]

If you're going to interrupt me on my show, let's stage a huge fight. We get numbers.

[Blair Socci]

Dude, interrupting someone is so painful.

[John Gabris]

Not here.

[Adam Pally]

Well, we're two straight, man. We have no problems doing good.

[Blair Socci]

Okay. Okay.

[John Gabris]

I don't. I've never felt that pain.

[Blair Socci]

Okay.

[Adam Pally]

I actually have never heard.

[John Gabris]

Am I autistic? I've never felt that pain. Or am I just a man?

[Blair Socci]

A lot of autistic people have very pure heart. In case you're an elderly man with a really good job. But John do you really feel that you have imposter syndrome? You're so funny.

[John Gabris]

He does.

[Adam Pally]

I do. I feel.

[John Gabris]

One of the things he said for

[Adam Pally]

what I do think I'm funny. I just have a hard time when I have to, like, act and stuff like that. I feel like you're such a natural.

[John Gabris]

His imposter syndrome runs way deeper than that.

[Adam Pally]

He's not really.

[John Gabris]

Yes. He's not even scratching the surface of it.

[Blair Socci]

Dang.

[Adam Pally]

I don't know what it is.

[Blair Socci]

He's so beloved.

[Adam Pally]

I'm very confident in certain locations and in certain situations and less like even

[Blair Socci]

over the years because, like, I don't know how much you really do stand up, but anytime I have you on a stand up show, you'd absolutely destroy. And I'd be like, this. What? I have to do this every night. And it's so easy for you, you know, I'm trying.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, I'm still. I'm still trying. I'm out here. I'm out in these streets.

[John Gabris]

He's really good.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, he's really, really good.

[Adam Pally]

Thank you. That means a lot coming from. Well, I. I know you.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, I say it all the time,

[Adam Pally]

but it means a lot about him.

[John Gabris]

About him? What do you mean?

[Blair Socci]

I've had. You don't care.

[John Gabris]

No, my thing. No, he's like. You think a horse is funny?

[Adam Pally]

Like. No, I just mean I saw you

[John Gabris]

la a video where a little kid got kicked in the head by a horse, like, and then 15 times and showed it to me, like, have you ever seen this thing? Anything funny? Now you're telling me I'm funny. Go watch the horse video.

[Blair Socci]

What age do men stop jerking off?

[John Gabris]

They die.

[Blair Socci]

Really?

[Adam Pally]

I haven't found.

[John Gabris]

I haven't heard. I haven't even. Like, I had a.

[Adam Pally]

It slows down in your 40s, I can say, yeah, I'm jerking off.

[Blair Socci]

Like, what do you think the. The freed up mental space goes towards

[Adam Pally]

worrying about your hairline?

[Blair Socci]

Oh, sad.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Loneliness. The men. The loneliness of men.

[Blair Socci]

I have. And I want this to be said, this is not a pick me take because I have many, many things that I don't like about men. And just ask me if you're worried.

[John Gabris]

But you know, we don't record in front of an audience, right?

[Adam Pally]

I do. Like, we've. We've gathered to, like, we're almost like at like a Donahue level. Cause they got the chairs, which was Maury's readers.

[John Gabris]

We do share a lot of Maury's readers.

[Blair Socci]

Okay.

[John Gabris]

But there is no audience out there.

[Blair Socci]

Mari's readers I'm talking to.

[Adam Pally]

I got news for you, Blair. We are your father.

[Blair Socci]

I just feel that I don't mind a bald dude.

[Adam Pally]

No.

[Blair Socci]

And especially if it's like, going. And they self. Bald. There's ownership there. And it's. And it's saying, hey, this is me. And it's confident.

[John Gabris]

I think, like, I think a lot of men would like to hear that. Straight men especially. I think. I think that a lot of straight men, especially now with all. All the, you know, hormone products that are being sold to the amount of money that balding men are spending on things that don't necessarily work, I think it would be really helpful if a lot of men were to be able to hear that. That, like, you know, beautiful women just want them.

[Adam Pally]

Right.

[John Gabris]

You know?

[Adam Pally]

Well, I think confidence, because, you know, like, that's what. Like whenever people ask me advice about being overweight or whatever, and I'm like, it's like, women don't care if Good women. Most women don't care if you're overweight if you're not. Like, if you. If you project confidence.

[John Gabris]

You know what I mean?

[Blair Socci]

It's like if you make yourself attractive to them, right?

[Adam Pally]

And then it's not all about looks.

[Blair Socci]

No. It's not at all like, oh, my God, look at all my comedian friends. Wise. Are you kidding me?

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[Blair Socci]

Definitely not, pal.

[John Gabris]

It's about money.

[Adam Pally]

Guys get the above their station because they're funny.

[Blair Socci]

Can't believe it. And then the. Believe it. And then the men that dm. The women are.

[Adam Pally]

Well, men have the. I'm going to overgeneralize here, but men have the most incorrect view of themselves and, like, ugliest. My ugliest, dumpiest, most boring ass personality guys I know will always be like, I don't know, she's a little fat.

[Blair Socci]

I'm like, in what world, dude?

[John Gabris]

Yeah. No, but the whole idea of a dick pic is like a met. Like, it's like finding it's a straight woman that, like, is. Is. Is attracted to you enough to be like, okay with your dick is like such a. A needle in a haystack that the idea. But the idea to men, it's like, I know how I can get one of those. I'll send her pick on my dick.

[Adam Pally]

All she needs to see is.

[John Gabris]

All she needs to see is my dick. It's like, who wants to see that

[Blair Socci]

I have this horrific affliction where I only. Only have sexual interest in someone if unless I'm deeply, emotionally attracted to them.

[Adam Pally]

Like, I think they call that demisexual, they call it.

[Blair Socci]

They're always trying to give me that one. I'm like, no, shouldn't you. Baseline. Like the person that's, like, entering your body.

[Adam Pally]

It is funny that they call it. It's got a name. It's like, I only people I like.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

All right. What the wrong with this one?

[Blair Socci]

I'm literally talking about, all right, you got any friends? Because I'm like, I got enough fucking labels, but I'm not taking that one.

[John Gabris]

That one.

[Blair Socci]

Like, that's insane.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Blair Socci]

I'm like, so you guys are just out here, everyone you hate?

[John Gabris]

Well, do you have any friends that people they don't like?

[Blair Socci]

Oh, yeah, definitely.

[John Gabris]

Well, then introduce me to them.

[Adam Pally]

Do you have any friends that don't like me?

[John Gabris]

Now we're talking.

[Adam Pally]

Hate me even more. Send them my way.

[John Gabris]

Now we're talking.

[Adam Pally]

Do they hate themselves? Then they might actually like me.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, come on. Quit hating yourself. You had 101 ways to party before you die.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, we were there.

[John Gabris]

Come on.

[Adam Pally]

We were even. 8 of 101.

[Blair Socci]

Let's it go.

[Adam Pally]

I'm trying to right now.

[Blair Socci]

All right.

[Adam Pally]

Thank you, Elsa.

[Blair Socci]

You're welcome.

[John Gabris]

I thought you were kind of giving off the other sister in Frozen vibe. The.

[Adam Pally]

Well, she's like the fire cousin.

[John Gabris]

I thought she's more of an.

[Adam Pally]

It's my cousin Blair. She shoots lava.

[Blair Socci]

I'll be honest. I haven't seen the. The whole film. My niece is really into it. They. They love it.

[Adam Pally]

We got to send this. My cousin Blair. She's autistic, demisexual, fire beast. That's so cool on a surfboard.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah. Actually, the more that you say that, I'm coming back around to it. Yeah, I like it again. That sounds cool. Yeah.

[John Gabris]

That should be like, when people are, like, when they have their standup thing and, like, who's playing tonight at club. And it says, like, the Tonight Show.

[Adam Pally]

Like, it says parenthesis, autistic, demise, demisexual. I got their credit.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Skater

[John Gabris]

people be like, that's a weird show tonight, huh?

[Blair Socci]

Believe it or not, that happens a lot. Sometimes two minutes into my set. Yeah, I know you'll like it if you just.

[John Gabris]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Blair Socci]

Hang on, hang on, hang on. Wait. I talked to a man on the plane for the first time last week.

[Adam Pally]

Like, flirt talk.

[John Gabris]

You know, as someone who. Who's married. Hanging on by thread, I. An airport is one of the, like, horniest places.

[Blair Socci]

You think?

[John Gabris]

Well, it's just like. It's just like.

[Adam Pally]

I mean, it is for me.

[Blair Socci]

God, it is so not for me.

[Adam Pally]

I think I'm too stoned and I keep forgetting that it's maybe 9am and not 9pm but I think it could

[John Gabris]

also be men and women. Like there's something about airport. Yeah, I don't think women think that, but for something about men, it's like there's like, it was like we're all just. Your identity is lost and we're all just like traveling. Everything is like international waters.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John Gabris]

You know what I mean? Like, I don't know what's going to

[Blair Socci]

happen, but I'm always looking like, absolutely. I have a black hood over my. I have these glasses on, I have a hat, I have black sweatpants. I'm in full sweats, like ninja gear. Only like barely any of my extremely heavily greased up, moisturized face is showing. Like, I.

[John Gabris]

Not one thing you're saying would stop me.

[Blair Socci]

Well, I'm sitting next to a guy and like I rarely at my advanced age like see men in the same way that you guys see women, where I'm like, wow, that guy's hot.

[John Gabris]

Right?

[Blair Socci]

You know, and so I saw like this hot guy and I was like, okay. You know, you complain about not ever like seeing people you're into just talk. Like just force yourself to talk to him as an extra exercise. And it doesn't matter if anything comes to it. It's just practice.

[John Gabris]

Good for you. It's so healthy.

[Blair Socci]

Thanks. It was really hard. It was so hard.

[John Gabris]

So healthy.

[Blair Socci]

He got up to the bathroom and they accidentally took my seatbelt. And I said, excuse me, I need that. And then we talked for like two hours.

[John Gabris]

How was his response? What was his response?

[Blair Socci]

He was very flirty and cute. Like, did you. Well, well, I didn't. I invited him to a show. I hope. Don't listen to this if you, you

[John Gabris]

know he's gonna be reading it anyway.

[Blair Socci]

No, but I invited him to my Netflix show and I've never invited a man to a stand up show. That's something men do to court women. Women never do that. I've never invited a man to watch me do a stand up. And so I didn't really want him to come to my show. But I also didn't want to like say, hey, take my number. And he didn't ask for it, so I figured that was a way to like meet again. But then he followed me on Instagram and then we talked, but then I was like, oh no, he's use my Instagram. And now he's going to know what a freak I am single.

[John Gabris]

Is he single?

[Blair Socci]

Oh, my God.

[John Gabris]

That's always my concern about a plain.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, no, he's single.

[John Gabris]

Okay.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, he's younger than me, too.

[John Gabris]

Whoa.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, I like this.

[Blair Socci]

Three years. But I've never dated younger men before in my life. I always thought that was, like, so uninteresting to me.

[Adam Pally]

But once you're past a certain age and we, of course, have no idea what your elevated age is.

[Blair Socci]

Thank you so much.

[Adam Pally]

Three years younger saying that.

[John Gabris]

I'm like, I thought Blair was 28.

[Blair Socci]

I really appreciate that. That means the world to me. Skin care is my autistic special interest. But my. I always.

[Adam Pally]

My hyper focus is skin care.

[Blair Socci]

I had. I had. I'm about to become one of those. I have a Sophie bottle coming over to my house on Saturday.

[John Gabris]

Love Sophie. She was on our show.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, she's the fun. I think she's, like the funniest comedian working today, but she's coming over to my house to finally kickstart my TikTok skinfluencer career because she's going to teach me how to edit a TikTok video. And I've only been wanting to do this for four years, but.

[Adam Pally]

Are you solo waving?

[Blair Socci]

Solo wave.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, you're doing the red light.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, yeah, yeah. I have the Dr. Dennis Gross, which is a bit older technology, but still works really great.

[Adam Pally]

I know some. I know some guys who are doing the red light therapy on their. On their face.

[Blair Socci]

I put my mask on my head, see if it fires anything up up there.

[John Gabris]

You know, like ideas.

[Blair Socci]

I'm an idea.

[Adam Pally]

I got an idea. What if we switched all the colors of lights to red? I think this thing's cooking my brain.

[Blair Socci]

Okay, okay, okay. I want just one thing on the plane guy. So then today I was. Because I was telling my mom, and you know, my mom. Mom's always like, dress up when you go to the airport. Why don't you look cute when you go to the airport? That's a great place. You know, you're always on those planes and in the Delta Lounge or whatever. I'm like, I'm tired, Mom. You know? And then I told her, and she was so excited. So then I messaged this man today, and I said, hey, I didn't actually really want you to come to my Netflix show, so would you like to do something else?

[John Gabris]

Oh.

[Blair Socci]

And that was right before I walked in here.

[John Gabris]

I can't wait to see. Do you want to check it?

[Blair Socci]

I'm kind of scared.

[John Gabris]

Do you want me to check it?

[Blair Socci]

I don't know.

[Adam Pally]

Do you want me to check your DMs?

[Blair Socci]

Let's see.

[John Gabris]

I'm in there.

[Adam Pally]

12 unanswered.

[John Gabris]

Thanks for myself.

[Adam Pally]

Gamers just dropped fire emojis on all my pictures.

[John Gabris]

You're right, pal. I do look good up on stage.

[Adam Pally]

No, sorry, gamers. I don't have any bikini photos.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, I don't. I don't have any of those. Except for once a year to remind casting directors that I'm more than just a triple XL voice, you know?

[John Gabris]

Yeah, no. And when those pictures drop, we know the new Sochi pictures dropped.

[Adam Pally]

We're texting everyone.

[John Gabris]

Everyone's going around.

[Adam Pally]

They shine a light over Orange County.

[John Gabris]

Ye. It's like the Pope. Smoke comes out of the Padres game.

[Blair Socci]

No. Once a year I gotta reveal the truth. And then we go back in our hole for the rest.

[Adam Pally]

I come right racing home, grab my olive oil and hot sauce.

[John Gabris]

It's always.

[Adam Pally]

I know it's going to be a good session.

[John Gabris]

It's always welcome. Once a year, it's always welcome.

[Blair Socci]

Yet most of my work, actually all of it is just cartoons.

[John Gabris]

What a waste.

[Adam Pally]

But you, to be fair, you record your VO work in your bikini

[Blair Socci]

once a week. I think I want to start my mukbang career, you know, because that is my.

[John Gabris]

You would.

[Adam Pally]

Passion, fortune.

[Blair Socci]

Thank you. I mean, we all know the whole when only fans fiasco.

[John Gabris]

When. Wait, you had an only yes, you get.

[Adam Pally]

I know. Please share your I don't know, it's fiasco.

[Blair Socci]

Well, about three, four years ago, when I was still on Twitter before I deleted it and Virtue Signal, I tweeted out one day after my night gummy. I. I said like I was just having a little fun. I was like, on only F, can you just do feet or do you have to show whole. And I didn't really know much about only fans. I don't know much about like the sexual dark web or whatever and saw the sudden. It got like 50,000 retweets. And I came back like when I woke up in the morning because I like went to sleep and I was like, what the hell? And then I genuinely didn't know the feet thing was real. And then I started seeing the responses and then I was like, what the fuck? There's a market. Like.

[John Gabris]

So then I started always the business.

[Blair Socci]

I started account immediately, but I was really worried about people knowing that it was nothing pornographic. So I made the name the title of the only fans Blair Saki Ankles down no Hole so that everyone would be clear what they were purchasing.

[John Gabris]

I feel like some Guys would be like, I feel like she might.

[Adam Pally]

You had to be fair. You had to do ankles down. No hole two. Because I had already camping on.

[Blair Socci]

That was the first iteration of ankles down the hole. Blair Saki baby. And so then I had. And I. And I. All of a sudden, I swear I was getting so into it. Like I was stomping on like sandwich. I was stomping on like a telephone. Like I was always getting so into the performance art. Like I'd never felt so creatively fulfilled or free.

[John Gabris]

Well, when business. When commerce meets art, it's truly.

[Blair Socci]

It is magic. And it only happened.

[John Gabris]

I mean it is lightning in a bottle.

[Blair Socci]

Lightning in a bottle is the only phrase for it. Because then 24 hours later, I got a call from my agent and they're like, you have to take that. Do you have an only fans? I was like, well, what do you mean? And they're like, do you have an only fans named Blair Saki? And goes down the.

[Adam Pally]

You're like, I don't.

[John Gabris]

Why?

[Adam Pally]

Who made that? That could be anybody.

[Blair Socci]

It's like a. It was a conference call. Serious.

[Adam Pally]

You're like, you know, I show hole on mine. That's not me. I'm a whole.

[John Gabris]

Why would the agent make you drop?

[Blair Socci]

Because like I audition and look, I won't say that they're banging down my door, but a lot of like Nickelodeon, Disney, and they're like, you know, you. They're going to think you're doing porn.

[John Gabris]

Porn, right.

[Blair Socci]

And I was like, kids. Yeah, a lot of kids stuff. And so I was like, it's. It could not be more explicit. Nobody is going to think anything besides, relax, Bob Iger.

[Adam Pally]

I said no hole.

[Blair Socci]

No, but seriously, when I had to take that down, I was like so upset. Like, not in a funny way. Like I was.

[Adam Pally]

That's an income stream.

[Blair Socci]

No, but. But it wasn't even about that. It was like, this is so fun. This is. I have not felt this exhilarated in. And then I was like, I could have done 100k in three months. Like, I would have been so rich because the creativity and fun that I was enjoy having was. It was so great. 24 hours.

[Adam Pally]

And that's really crazy because it is one of those things where if you maybe do the math globally based on how the industry's going that it might. You might have made way more money in the long run.

[Blair Socci]

I know. I actually want to call them up and say, so Bob Iger hasn't called. What's your. I'm going to reinstate this Shit.

[John Gabris]

What if you change the name?

[Adam Pally]

The real issue is how are they

[Blair Socci]

going to know that hole?

[John Gabris]

It's like a wink. No, no, not no hole. The Blair part. Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Don't. I don't want these guys looking at my feet saying when's the whole pick coming?

[John Gabris]

You think that's the problem with.

[Blair Socci]

Yeah, no. How are they gonna find me if they don't have my name? I gotta have my name there. My name. They need to find me. I don't want to make it hard for my guys to find me.

[John Gabris]

You coined the phrase no hole. They'll figure it out.

[Adam Pally]

Feet, no hole.

[Blair Socci]

Ankles down, no hole.

[Adam Pally]

You know what I was talking.

[Blair Socci]

Ankles down, no hole.

[Adam Pally]

You know why your agent want you to get rid of it? Because they weren't part of it. They weren't getting 10%.

[John Gabris]

That's true. If they had.

[Adam Pally]

It's all money.

[Blair Socci]

I should have called you guys and about and gotten business advice because I'm too easily fooled.

[John Gabris]

Well, if it ever comes up for Only Fans again, we are the guys to call now.

[Adam Pally]

We're just. We're just small business supporters.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

I'm just helping a bunch of young women achieve their dreams.

[Blair Socci]

Would you guys be upset if your daughter had an Only fans that was ankles down, no holes. Hole. Just feet. No just feet.

[John Gabris]

If it was like. If it was as funny and artistic as what you were doing. Absolutely not. I was.

[Blair Socci]

Really?

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

And no hole would have to be in caps, but otherwise I'm. I'm cool with it.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. And there would have to be like certain things like there would have to

[Blair Socci]

be certain things like no community to the agents.

[John Gabris]

There would have to be a thing like no communication.

[Blair Socci]

No communication.

[John Gabris]

No communication or anything. But as a business stream. Yeah.

[Blair Socci]

I mean, no communication. Even if they were of elevated age.

[John Gabris]

Well, I'm only assuming this is of elevated age. Oh, I would never let it happen.

[Blair Socci]

No, obviously not underage, so. No, I mean like Ella. No, I'm not talking 20. I'm talking up there.

[John Gabris]

I. I still think that the messaging on OnlyFans as a. As a father. As if I was gonna say a user of Only fans. Blair, we are not on the same page.

[Adam Pally]

Hey, by the way, Blair, you can be both in 2026. You could be a dad and you can use OnlyFans.

[John Gabris]

We are not on the same. We are not on the same page. That's like a fourth time to happen.

[Blair Socci]

I did not see that as a

[John Gabris]

user of Only Fans. What I was going to say is that every day is small business Saturday.

[Blair Socci]

That's true. And look, we thank you for that as a former business owner for 24 hours. Well, it was interesting too, because my brothers and my dad and my mom. My brothers had seen me a few times, but my whole family and my parents saw me do stand up for the first. The first time at my special taping. And 10 minutes was about that story.

[John Gabris]

What they think?

[Blair Socci]

They didn't bring it up because, I mean, like, I talked about it, that it was only 24 hours and that it was like, I mean, that's the real me. Like, I don't want to do some in no shame to anyone else. I fully support anyone else doing whatever they want, but that's just not me. But, like, it wasn't. It was a very innocent thing that got made into a big thing and I had to. Was forced to take it down again against my will.

[Adam Pally]

I was at that special taping. I've only ever been to two special.

[Blair Socci]

Wait, you were at my special.

[Adam Pally]

Did you do it at Lyric?

[Blair Socci]

Oh, no, that was a. That was a tape to sell it.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, okay.

[Blair Socci]

Okay.

[Adam Pally]

Well, that's why I know the material.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Well, then I've only ever been to one special taping, and it was the Amazing Jonathan. Remember that?

[John Gabris]

When he drank the Windex?

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. He did all the same bits I saw him in, like, it was like 2008 and he was doing all the same.

[John Gabris]

Yeah. Do you remember the Amazing Jonathan?

[Blair Socci]

I don't, but I also didn't follow comedy or at all growing up and didn't go to my first comedy show till I was 25.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, that tracks.

[Adam Pally]

Obvious.

[John Gabris]

The Amazing Jonathan.

[Adam Pally]

It's pretty obvious in your taste.

[John Gabris]

The Amazing Jonathan was like a coke induced magician.

[Blair Socci]

Whoa.

[John Gabris]

Who would be on Comedy Central Presents, like, when you were homesick.

[Blair Socci]

Okay.

[Adam Pally]

He wore like a headband. And he has a great episode to WTF too, because he's like, dying when he does it.

[John Gabris]

Oh, really?

[Blair Socci]

He's died?

[John Gabris]

Yeah, he's passed.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[John Gabris]

But, like, he would do all these crazy, like, prop magic bits. Like, he would, like, take out a bottle of Windex and drink it. Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

He would do like, kind of like roast magic where he'd bring somebody up and bust their balls the whole time. And it was. It was. It was actually really fun. I'm sure now it.

[John Gabris]

I probably don't want to go back and watch it right now.

[Blair Socci]

I've never heard of Amazing Jonathan.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. Hit for me as a guy named Jonathan growing up. You know, you just meet.

[John Gabris]

He was kind of like the Gallagher of our generation.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, he was like our generation.

[Blair Socci]

I did list. Listen to that. I still. I haven't seen Gallagher's comedy. I know he's like the watermelon smash guy, but I did listen to that. Wtf? That was crazy.

[John Gabris]

Awesome.

[Adam Pally]

We talk about it. We were just talking about sharply.

[John Gabris]

Gallagher, come back.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, no, wait. Gallagher, wait.

[John Gabris]

Gallagher, come back. Oh, wait.

[Adam Pally]

Aaron is just such a sniper. So funny.

[Blair Socci]

Like, I open for him sometimes and.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Blair Socci]

I like when I. So here's my thing. And it's probably like a little sister, like a very masculine family thing that I grew up in. But, like, if I know you like me, like, basically you could say anything to me to make fun of me, right? You know, like, I. It does not hurt me. Like, anything you can say if I know you genuinely love me.

[John Gabris]

It almost makes the love deeper.

[Blair Socci]

Yes. But if it's only. The only time I don't like if someone talks shit is if you know they don't like you.

[John Gabris]

Right.

[Blair Socci]

Cuz then it's not fun.

[John Gabris]

Right?

[Blair Socci]

But he like how last week I was opening for him in Texas and he's like, you have a comb? And then he looked at my hair and he's like, no, you definitely don't have a comb. And I was so caught off guard, it made me laugh.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, that's funny.

[Blair Socci]

And then I. And then he comes on stage after me and he goes, well, she's one of one. And you got to support people like that.

[John Gabris]

What an intro. What an intro.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, that's awesome.

[John Gabris]

Oh, that's. Well, Blair, is there anything you want to plug?

[Blair Socci]

I just want to plug my freaky ass podcast called Space out with Blair Saki. I hope to see you readers over there. It'd be great to have you, especially if you're a woman, you know, come on over to that side and we got some lady.

[Adam Pally]

Listen, we have lady readers.

[Blair Socci]

You guys are so funny. This was so. Can I tell you something? I canceled the cardiologist appointment to come here.

[Adam Pally]

Whoa.

[Blair Socci]

That's.

[Adam Pally]

That's probably. I'm going to feel guilty if anything happens to you.

[John Gabris]

I really. Why don't you get that read on the book?

[Blair Socci]

No, I will. I'll get to it.

[John Gabris]

Yeah, man.

[Adam Pally]

Imagine you got. Imagine you came to the cardiologist before you came here. You could say I'm autistic demisexual and I have high blood pressure and I'm

[John Gabris]

having a heart attack and I have

[Adam Pally]

an enlarged vena cava.

[Blair Socci]

Oh, my God. It's fine. This was way back her from my heart.

[John Gabris]

And your blood, you can't see it.

[Adam Pally]

You can't see it because we have sunglasses on, but we're all tearing.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Blair Socci]

This was so fun. No, this actually a huge honor to be on such incredible, great guys, famous, hilarious, talented men's podcast.

[Adam Pally]

[John Gabris]

She cracks me up so much.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, it was like just we invited like a legit Pokemon in here and they went fucking ham and disappear. Truly, it was like it was an agent of chaos.

[John Gabris]

An agent of chaos came in here, spun the place on its head and then ran out.

[Adam Pally]

And I'll do that week in, week out.

[John Gabris]

Yeah.

[Adam Pally]

Makes me laugh so much.

[John Gabris]

She's the funniest.

[Adam Pally]

Jokes are killer. Stand up. If you have not seen her perform, stand up. She's an absolute.

[John Gabris]

She's one of my favorite stand ups to perform too. Like I've seen her a bunch and every time it's different. Even though it's, you know, like she's working on something or whatever. She's such a good performer and she's so. I don't know what the fluid. Yeah, she's so. It's like she's great.

[Adam Pally]
