Maggie Hughes DePalo & Adam Gilbert: Comedy Cellar, Chicago & Gen Z | Ep. 35

In Episode 35, comedians Adam Gilbert and Maggie Hughes DePalo join Pat McGann for a laid-back conversation that moves between stand-up, life on the road, and Midwest roots.

Adam shares his path from Indiana to Chicago’s comedy scene and eventually to the Comedy Cellar in New York, along with the realities of touring, open mics, and the occasional rough night on stage. Maggie tells stories from the road, including a memorable encounter with Michael J. Fox at his Nashville fundraiser. 

Plus, Midwest sports parenting, father-daughter dances, and why Lakeview is the best neighborhood to move to post-breakup. Rounding things out are lighter detours into skincare, life choices, and Adam’s decision to cut off the resources.

🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.

Comedy! I think so, unless he's just a really good actor. Um so I got to meet him on the red carpet. He he is wheelchair bound, like he really has a hard time getting out of the wheelchair. So all the uh pictures and stuff, he was in the wheelchair the whole uh the whole night, um, which was great. And then um, so you don't not a lot of intimate talk, just quick pictures. He's got a whole entourage. He has a trainer or like a PT guy. If you've seen his documentary, it's a guy that follows him everywhere.

Breaking news. Wait, speaking of breaking news, yeah. CNN announced him passing away like a week before this event, like accidentally announced Michael J. Fox died. They were talking about it at the event, yeah. Because there's all these things. Were you about to cancel your flight? Well, I was like, that's a bummer. Just got this shirt. Um but they had all these uh uh news outlets interviewing people on the red carpet, and um, I want to say that the CNN, well, they were weren't gonna be there, but they were la Everyone was kind of joking about it at that at the point, like it was fake news. But yeah, they announced that.

It could be. Oh man, is that um do you keep that on? You have to.

SPEAKER_03 6:01

He uh so he closed it out. It was it was great. It it's tough to do comedy in between huge music fans. Would you agree? I don't know if you've ever done something like that where you're like sandwiches.

SPEAKER_06 6:14

Music is brutal. I mean magicians. Yes. Anything where they're not there. People think it's gonna be a great match, usually not. Um, but also like just in that setting. I just love that Michael J. Fox is like obviously maybe a fan of comedy. Yeah. This is part of the fundraiser. That's huge.

SPEAKER_03 6:29

SPEAKER_06 7:12

Yeah, that's the that's the key. So you were down in Nashville, and then um you've been bouncing around. Where else were you?

SPEAKER_03 7:20

Uh I was at the Helium Club in Indianapolis. Um I sold out a show there and then did a second show, almost filled almost filled the second show, and then um I was in Nashville all week, so I did I did a show with Kid Rock at the Ryman, Kid Rock Comedy Jam.

SPEAKER_06 7:35

Um What happened to the Ryman that Kid Rock is there? Um that used to be the center of music.

SPEAKER_03 7:43

Dolly Parton, Elvis, yeah. Um, it was me and like ten dudes, so I was happy to break it up a little bit. Um, I mean The Ryman is historic too.

SPEAKER_06 7:52

It was awesome. This is a heck of a month hairbag.

SPEAKER_03 7:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 7:55

Yeah. This is the home of the Opry, right? The the Ryman Theater. I've been there in Nashville. It's a great place for comedy, too. The venue itself is like the acoustics, it works.

I was at a the father-daughter dance. That was my weekend. And by the way, happy earth day to everybody. Do we acknowledge It was Earth Day last week?

SPEAKER_03 9:15

Yeah, my daughter they planted Oh, it is? Oh, well.

SPEAKER_06 9:18

I thought it was already too, because they were doing projects at school, and they must have been getting ahead of it.

SPEAKER_03 9:25

Yeah, they send you home, send the kids home with a lot of dirt. Just like dirt and some seeds and an envelope.

SPEAKER_06 9:30

I'm like, wasn't it a bigger deal like not too long ago? Earth Day? Now it's like and then just a day for Earth. All these other things, just get a week, uh a month.

SPEAKER_03 9:40

Right backed up to like hot dog day and bagels.

SPEAKER_06 9:44

Yeah, so I had the uh the father-daughter dance, which um I don't know if that model really works anymore. No one is really like dancing with their daughter. It's awkward, it's not like something that you're dying to do, maybe. Maybe there's like a rebrand, father-daughter hangout, father-daughter, like go to the White Sox game. I was gonna say white socks game. Are we dressing up like we're going on a date and staring at each other from across the room, hoping that you know, yeah, what do you think? I was gonna say basically.

SPEAKER_03 10:14

What are the dad? Do the dads just kind of like mingle?

SPEAKER_06 10:17

The dads are out, they're drinking, and by the way, it was in a uh at a country club in a ballroom which I have been in at Odyssey. I've been to weddings there. And I went up to the bar and I ordered there there's drinks. You're getting drinks. I ordered a uh a cocktail, or I ordered a drink, and uh started walking away, and they're like, Sir, sir, that's eleven dollars. Cash bar. So that was the one drink I had. But you can't be drinking anyway. You gotta drive your kid daughter home. This is Odyssey's far, too.

SPEAKER_03 10:46

We had it in the gym. So we had far away.

SPEAKER_06 10:49

And it's it's pouring out when we left there, too.

SPEAKER_03 10:51

It's in like Tinley Park. No, ours was in the gym in eighth grade, and the dad's drink in the parking lot. They didn't have a bar.

SPEAKER_06 10:59

Yeah. Um and it's the moms that are coming up with this idea.

unknown 11:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 11:04

Right? They should have a dance, we'll get them flowers, we'll dress them up, we'll take a picture, a picture in front of the firewall. And then they send them off, and then the dads don't even know what to do. Right. Yeah, I think that it's gotta be.

SPEAKER_03 11:15

They should do a different event. I'm with you. I think uh well, so funny enough, my husband went to like a father-daughter dance with my daughter, she's only six, and he was shocked there was no alcohol at the St. Francis and Wilmette father-daughter dance. He said that there used to be, but they cut it off last year, which basically means some dad overdid it at the father-daughter dance, which is Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 11:37

These are the same schools that are getting you vertus trained on how to behave around in a school environment, and then they're like, Oh, and by the way, there's a uh there's a bar and dancing, and you gotta drive. Men and yeah, eighth grade girls dancing. I don't even know. But that was the weekend, and then a bunch of games like like everybody else, six games on Sunday through through two kids, two kids, six games. Um, they're playing my daughter's playing flag football, which is blowing up. I love it though. Flag football for girls is big now.

SPEAKER_03 12:06

I love it. Frankie loves it too.

SPEAKER_06 12:09

She just started, she's six.

SPEAKER_03 12:11

Yeah, that's that's great. But she likes it better than that.

SPEAKER_06 12:12

She's like a wide receiver, she's coming off the end.

SPEAKER_03 12:14

Yeah, she's yeah, she's more of a more of a running back. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 12:17

That's what we have on our team. We were down, I was watching this game from a car because it was freezing out.

SPEAKER_03 12:22

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 12:23

We watched like the first half and they're down big. This girl went off, she's like Bo Jackson and Tech Mobile. This eighth grader. Her name's I'm just gonna say Neve. That's not gonna give her full name. Neeve. It was the Neve game. This girl, we had 26 points, she had 26 of and they were all running touchdowns. She she's quick as hell, and she has a spin move, and she's unstoppable. Rattled off 20, we were down 24 or 6. She she just won the game for us.

SPEAKER_03 12:49

Well, so I think uh when I watch my daughter play basketball, some of the girls can't dribble, so they do run around like it's flag, like it's almost like rugby, nobody's dribbling. So I think they're all pretty good at flag football just to be a little bit. You don't have to dribble. Um, no, I love it. We didn't have flag football growing up. We didn't have we didn't have lacrosse, we didn't have field hockey, we didn't have any of that stuff.

SPEAKER_06 13:09

Now it's getting huge, and now the uh into the high schools and uh yeah, lacrosse as well. That's what they're playing on at Macaulay. Macaulay has a big lacrosse field and uh nice turf. That's where she's had that's where you went to school. You gotta tell me what is uh what is this all girls high school environment gonna be like?

SPEAKER_03 13:28

I loved it. I think um girls at this age really w want to be around their their dads much? No. No, not really. Well when you're like paying for stuff, that's about it. Um quick trip to Sephora. But um what w was your question? What can she expect? I mean, I loved it. I think for confidence and you know being around all girls like is a lot less um you know anxiety ridden than having to go to school with boys who be honest, like that age group of boys are just immature, you know, spitballs and boogers and farts. So I think like going to a ca all girls.

SPEAKER_06 14:11

Wait, I saw this. Did you see this farting? Which I got I got some blowback from some teachers. They're like, why are you posting this? We need your support, the teachers. I'm like, I I not asking my kids to act like assholes at school, right? Be punks.

SPEAKER_03 14:25

But if that's like the worst thing he's done.

SPEAKER_06 14:28

But he said he wasn't him. Wasn't me, Dad. I didn't make it, I didn't make any fart sounds. But she wrote it right there on the on the check card. Farting sounds.

SPEAKER_03 14:36

I love that she wrote it farting and not like more proper word for it. Yeah. Um No, I think she I think Joe's gonna love it. I loved uh Macaulay.

SPEAKER_06 14:45

Um you ever get in trouble in high school? Do you have any scandals while you were there?

SPEAKER_03 14:49

Not really. I was like afraid of my parents and afraid of getting in trouble because I didn't want to not be able to play sports. So I was pretty good in high school. I mean a little like you know, stupid stuff, but nothing crazy.

SPEAKER_06 15:02

Were kids smoking?

SPEAKER_03 15:04

Oh yeah. People smoked in between classes. It's a big campus, it's one of the biggest all-girl schools in the country. So you have to walk outside from it's almost like a small college campus. Um they're probably gonna be vaping now. I don't think anybody smokes. Um no, I loved it. I mean, I know that there's more competition, right? Like Marist is co-ed, so back then everybody went to Macaulay. So that's like there wasn't really any other options.

SPEAKER_06 15:29

Um Yeah, and they say that this is a big thing for like the girls don't want to speak up sometimes in the the class, but they're more likely to raise their hand in this environment. Yeah. I don't know if that's yeah, I'm sure it is true.

SPEAKER_03 15:40

It's it's a confidence builder. You're you're not competing with boys, you're not uncomfortable, you don't have to really worry about what you look like or dress like, you're just going to school to have fun, be around other girls. I mean, it's a s it's a strict school, like they're they don't mess around with, you know, you've got to wear the uniform, you can't well, I don't know if it's still the case. You it has to, you know, hit a certain part on your knee. Can't be wearing short skirts or anything like that.

SPEAKER_06 16:02

Um Yeah, they are strict. And I just gotta notice she's gonna be taking driver's ed next year, which scares the hell out of me. Although I did take her to the cemetery and let her like have a lot of things.

SPEAKER_03 16:10

Well, that's the way to learn.

SPEAKER_06 16:12

Right?

SPEAKER_03 16:12

Well, nowadays, like I like our boys in high school don't want to drive. They don't care to drive. I don't understand that either. I wanted to drive when I was like thirteen.

SPEAKER_06 16:19

Don't you want to go like Yeah, boys don't because they don't want to sit through driver's ed?

SPEAKER_03 16:24

They just don't it's not like a motivating I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 16:27

I I had a great driver's ed teacher, Mr. D, and there was a rumor that he was like a retired porn star. There's always like a a backstory. Well, back then, driver's editor.

SPEAKER_03 16:37

He did not take Virtus training.

SPEAKER_06 16:38

I had to go to Morgan Park High School. Where did you take it?

SPEAKER_03 16:41

So I have a good story about that. I did Skido.

SPEAKER_06 16:43

Oh, you did? Which is the one you had to pay for. Paid for that.

SPEAKER_03 16:46

Yeah, the big bucks, my dad would say. Um and the guy, uh, it's like a uh it's it's like a private place you pay. Like back then it was like 500 bucks, which is a lot of money to take drivers ed. Um and the guy smoked the whole time. So you're on the road like doing your No, he had like a you know, Ford Taurus, and he literally smoked the whole time. He's like, You want one? I'm like, I'm good. I'm like going to basketball practice after this, and I'm gonna smell like smoke. Um but everyone else did the Morgan Park one. I remember that with the cones and the dry, you know, parking lot. This was like we drove around Oak Lawn, got smokes, and then went back to the place, and he's like, You're all set. So I'm glad I practiced in cemetery. Pretty much, yeah. It was like the express. Oh, no one found it. That's good. Drive-through driver's ed.

SPEAKER_05 19:07

Oh, I kill on Mondays. That's the only day that really works. I think I'm good on Mondays. A lot of people don't like to go out on Mondays. Yep, I'm there Thursday. This will come out the day after, probably. I just I think it's gonna be a bloodbath. Because it wasn't a fucking Monday. Oh, sorry, is this a big one?

SPEAKER_06 19:23

Is there a night that you prefer? Do you like the school nights better?

SPEAKER_05 19:27

Uh I don't know. Who's your crowd? Who do you like? I I feel like the people who uh don't have children do go out on Mondays. Yes. And then that does seem like they're they're gonna be a little bit more like so I don't know. And then also in New York, I feel like on the weekends it's more touristy. Well, if you're in New York, you're probably getting up uh every night, every single night. I try to take one or two nights off a week. Yeah. But I don't know. Do you do you guys take time off ever? You take the night in to just chill?

SPEAKER_06 19:54

I take time off. Yeah, for sure. Yes, definitely. I mean, where I'm not getting on stage. I mean, I got kids, so I'm like, Yeah, yeah, I gotta be. But I'm always trying to think about it in some way. But you do get rusty when you get on a rhythm, like you feel rusty.

SPEAKER_03 20:09

We both went on like a spring break with our kids. Did you feel rusty after that? Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 20:12

My first show was in Fairfield, Connecticut, and I was a little bit slow. You both have kids. Yeah, we both have kids. That's crazy. How do you know? What about you, dude? I want to back up a little bit. I want to back up a little bit. I was like, this is your this we're new.

SPEAKER_05 20:25

Oh, I got a vasectomy. I'm not having any fucking kids. I might adopt a couple, but that's way that's future atoms probably.

SPEAKER_06 20:31

How old are you? 32. 32. Yeah, a lot of people your age are not procreating. That's right. Did you come close to it?

Why why does Midway need to be uh less quality airport? We're all people.

SPEAKER_03 31:32

Yeah. He's like, could we land in a driveway?

SPEAKER_06 31:38

But anyway, these things, I didn't find that they were like that mind-altering or that like it's it's it's like a very small stimulant.

SPEAKER_03 31:48

THC makes me like tired, a little anxious. Like I think I need like more life insurance.

SPEAKER_06 31:52

Like it's never been even in college, I just it's not like the layers of Catholic guilt-ish. I'm telling you, there's like a armor there. Yeah. That is like suffocating.

SPEAKER_03 32:04

Marijuana was like the worst thing anyone could be doing growing up. So I I and not that that's what not why. I just, yeah, it doesn't, it's not an upper for me. It's like a sort of it, but the mushrooms I love. It's like a it's a little bit of like a stimulant energy. I think I I'm more creative, I think.

SPEAKER_05 32:20

That's so interesting that it's like a do you have a similar thing with the Catholic guilt like growing up with that? Do you think that affects certain things?

SPEAKER_06 32:27

Oh, I think it plays into uh most things, a lot of things.

SPEAKER_05 32:30

I grew up evangelical, and when you Alright, that's it for Adam. Yeah. When you when you stop that, I feel like it's so much easier to go, oh, we were the bad guys. And you just completely like disregard it, I feel like.

SPEAKER_06 32:44

So that's but I feel like when you I'm still paying tuition for Catholic schools, so I can't give up on it. That's interesting. So it like it's a good thing. And we used to take a word from our sponsor, Catholic charities.

SPEAKER_05 32:54

That's so interesting. It like stays with you longer. I think it's a Catholic kind of thing. Because mine I'm like, oh god, yeah, I'm not gonna. I grew up going to a mega church. I was like, oh, that was that was wrong. Yeah, you guys like it's more. Well, we've talked about this.

SPEAKER_03 33:06

Like, I'm not gonna go join another like I've had friends leave the Catholic Church and they go to like these smaller They're not gonna find anything more fun. Yeah, they're like, You should go, you should come see like our pastor Samantha. And I'm like, I'm all set. Like, I I already have status in the church. I'm not gonna like start over anywhere else and be like bore in group five.

SPEAKER_06 33:26

It's based in the basin kindness and like fun, yeah, social.

SPEAKER_02 33:34

SPEAKER_06 33:42

SPEAKER_03 33:43

And my manager, I think, I think she's like trying to put me in for like these hot guy roles. And the thing is, it's usually other hot guys and usually hotter, stronger men. And so I think I'm not gonna get it. But how about that? Natural. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 34:47

Like you're a natural?

SPEAKER_05 34:49

Yeah, like you said. But I think the role was written for a jack man.

SPEAKER_03 34:53

Did it say it in there? That's kind of an odd. I I I don't do auditions or anything like that or self-tapes, I don't know what that it was in the description. It had a vibe on the other. So did you wear a tight what were you wearing? Were you wearing wearing?
