Hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally have an important announcement that they’ll get to…eventually! But before they let you know about our first Live Staying Alive, 7:30pm on Tuesday, August 5th at The Bell House in Brooklyn NY (and streaming around the globe on the Veeps platform), Gabrus has a report card he’d like to talk about, and Pally has a pitch for a new show called Kill TBD.

In-person tickets available HERE.

Streaming tickets coming SOON.

On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with stuntwoman and American Ninja Warrior competitor Jessie Graff to talk about choosing superhero moves over acting accolades, why she doesn’t own a couch or any chairs, making sure to schedule time for fun, and they ooh and ahh over her stylish new invention. Plus, Adam doesn’t know how to measure anything and Jessie challenges the very way they sit.

On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with their good friend Zach Cherry (Severance, Fallout), to talk about how he doesn’t do anything special to stay alive, nothing at all. Except for everything. They’ll talk about working with Ben Stiller, never rushing anywhere, smart scales, and do a deep dive on sweating. Pally also has some questions about why eggs aren’t meat, and Gabrus talks about how you spoil yourself differently in your 40s.

Plus, an appearance by all three Wahlbergs.

On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with National Institutes Of Health-funded immunologist (and fellow omakase enthusiast) Dr. Shruti Naik to talk about the glowing bacteria that made her become a scientist, the heroic mice who really give us our medications, the benefits of cruciferous vegetables, and much more. Then, they have Dr. Shruti back for a quick catch-up about what’s been happening at the NIH in the first few months of this year. Big takeaway: Tell your congressional representatives and Senators that funding science is very important to you!

On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with entrepreneur and finance influencer Haley Sacks (aka MrsDowJones) to talk about why investing is supposed to be boring, why making money isn’t just for other people, their mutual love of watches and gambling, and the very non-replicable loophole Haley uses to keep herself honest at the casino. She also asks about the worst thing Pally & Gabrus ever did for money and wonders if having kids has changed their friendship. Misery is an inside job.
