Big News!

The sun just got a little warmer, the vibes a whole lot sharper, and the advice? Well… it just got real. Ask Uncle Gary has officially landed at SoCal Magazine, Southern California’s Cultural Portal, and is now the proud home of the most straight-talking, heart-listening advice column on the West Coast.

From Palm Springs to Pasadena, we’re serving wisdom with a wink, truth with a twist, and compassion with just enough sass to keep things interesting. These are the questions you whisper into your coffee cup, the secrets you only tell your steering wheel, and the dilemmas that hit you at 2 a.m. when the ceiling fan suddenly becomes your therapist.

Whether you’re knee-deep in a workplace disaster, stumbling through love like it’s leg day, or trying to forgive someone who isn’t even pretending to be sorry, Uncle Gary’s here—no judgment, no nonsense, just sunshine, empathy, and the kind of clarity that makes everything snap into place.

SoCalMag didn’t just pick up an advice column. They inherited a community, one built on warmth, honesty, and a sense of humor that makes you feel a little less alone and a lot more understood.

We’re live. We’re local. And oh yes… we’re listening.
