On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with their good friend, the inimitable Carl Tart (Grand Crew, Saturday Night Live), to discuss moving from coast to coast, lifting heavy, picking a trainer, making better choices, and the interesting hierarchy of the SNL afterparties. Plus, Carl has a lot to say about experiencing racism at the doctor’s office, and everybody agrees we need to release the Bartha Cut.
