Adam Pally

But he's most recognizable to my boys as Officer Wade Whipple, an integral part of the Sonic Cinematic Universe and its spinoff series Knuckles.

a project I know intimately thanks to a number of repeat viewings usually reserved for hair salons that only own one DVD.

His new HBO comedy special, An Intimate Evening with Adam Pally, finds him with a guitar and a burning question.

Why even do this in the first place?

which maybe he'll be able to answer next year when he'll play music industry mogul Alan Klein in Sam Mendes' four-film cinematic Beatles event.

But underneath all that funny and all those cool guy credits, I have to think there's an awkward teenage East Coaster ready to share embarrassingly endearing stories.

So welcome to this week's Teen Beat, Adam Pally.

That was such an amazing, thank you so much.

And also, just from being a friend of yours for almost a decade, you know, I forget how traumatic your upbringing was.

You so casually read it.

You're like my puberty was written into a television show.

We all watch.

It's like, but now sitting here talking to you as to like, God, the fact that you are walking and talking and, and breathing and, and, and, and a talented, uh, you know, force in, in, in, in its own self is truly like Macaulay Culkin level miracle.

Wow.

Well, thank you.

Thank you for that.

I we are about ready to hit the season seven episode of Boy Meets World where I am fat and they write about it.

And oh, my God.

And it's.

I've been dreading it since we started Pod Meets World because I remember everything about knowing that episode was coming because, you know, our EP pulled Will and I into the office and said, so obviously everyone can see you guys have gone fat.
