Staying Alive with Jon Gabrus & Adam Pally

In Part 2 of their interview with Podfather Will Arnett (Arrested Development, BoJack Horseman, The Lego Batman Movie), hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally talk about Will’s morning routine, their kids dunking on them, imposter syndrome, and the invisible genius of Benicio Del Toro. Plus, should Will be Sean Hayes’ Bradley Cooper? And Will pitches a Brothers Solomon sequel for carbon credit. Was this all just Stranger Things content?

On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally grab a lunchtime sit-down with fashion writer/editor Jake Woolf (GQ, Robb Report) to talk about how what you wear figures into your mental health, compare notes on their high school styles, therapy regimens, feeding the algorithm, and wonder about moving from critic to designer. Plus: Gabrus and Pally talk about their teenage sketch groups, and which LA canyon has the most cougars (no, not that kind).

On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally kick back with one of their favorite people, the hilarious Alison Leiby (The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Broad City, The President Show) to talk about what she’s doing to stay alive (spoiler alert: who’s even sure they want to?). They’ll discuss solo hiking, circle swimming, metal backs, drinking no water after 4pm, and the career of Adrien Brody. Plus, Gabrus has never been to Disneyland, and Pally names the billionaire he believes he could fight to the death, you know, if he had to.

On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally get a treat when they sit down with an old friend, one of the fastest guns in comedy, Sean Clements (Hollywood Handbook, Severance, Workaholics), to talk about how jacked he feels, the multiple lives he’d lived before comedy saved him, the complete plot of the unmade Making History episodes with Fred Armisen as Tesla, and yes, eventually what he’s doing, fitness-wise, to stay alive. Plus: Gabrus has started on the GLP-1’s, and Pally discovered Tim Robinson (Tim does NOT like it when he says this).
