Staying Alive with Jon Gabrus & Adam Pally

If you don’t have an appetite when you hit play, you certainly will by the end of Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally’s conversation with pasta genius Chef Evan Funke, as they talk about where his passion for Italian food comes from, keeping cool under pressure, cooking on a plane for Steph Curry, balancing his culinary art with his on-camera presence, and only buying pants that can take a serious beating. Plus: is Mystery Men due for reevaluation? We think so.

It’s a good time for one of our Proof Of Life episodes, because anybody who saw photos of hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally during the weekend of the Knicks win and the Del Close Marathon may actually want some hard proof that the boys are still with us. They partied, they cheered, they celebrated, they improvised, they carried strangers on their shoulders through the streets of New York, but they did survive, and you’ll get the full play-by-play in this episode. Bars attacks.

On this episode of Staying Alive, we’re back in LA for the next few weeks, and hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally get to sit down with one of their oldest friends, chaos agent Gil Ozeri (Big Mouth, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Happy Endings) to discuss how, as far as Gil is concerned, no one has ever said or done a single funny thing unless death was on the table. They’ll also talk about trying (and failing) to eat healthy in a writer’s room, Weight Watchers, candy towers, a road rage incident co-starring Will.I.Am, and we get A Staying Alive exclusive: Gil thinks he might have Horsetooth. Baby. Got. Gout.

On this episode of Staying Alive, it’s the last of our Miami episodes, and by pure chance the boys were able to sit down with Houston-based stand-up genius Ali Siddiq to talk about their uniquely intertwined relationships with their managers, finding your own path to success outside of the business, and the single greatest answer the fellas have ever received to the question “what are you doing to Stay Alive?”: vacations. Not like a weekend getaway, not a week off. We’re talking VACATIONS.
