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.
