Description
STAYING ALIVE is hosted by Jon Gabrus & Adam Pally - best friends, comedians, and professional partiers - who have realized that after spending the better part of their lives treating their bodies terribly, they should probably make some changes. The guys will interview friends and experts about the things they do to stay healthy, as well as document their own journeys through real, honest, and "grossly forthcoming" conversations about health and wellness.

While the fellas are booked and blessed, please enjoy another brand new edit of one of our favorite episodes, as Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally play you even more of their conversation from last year with the hilarious Ego Nwodim. They'll talk primarily about menus, but also being literally thirsty versus slang thirsty, pitching sketches with a dislocated shoulder, treating your fitness with grace and compassion, and discovering that American cheese isn't real. There's lots of new content about food trucks and traveling to Italy, being an embarrassing dad, and Chicago restaurants. These three EAT.
