Chapter 2: What inspired Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally to start Staying Alive?
By the way, we can talk about that whole episode. So it premieres Thursday, April 24th, which is just around the corner. And new episodes released every Thursday. You guys, I'm so happy you guys are doing this. It's very exciting. Please tell, because I fucking do a horrible job. Please tell us what it's about.
Look, this is so exciting. You are one of our pod fathers. I guess in our contract, you requested we call you that. So we're so excited to be part of this.
But I'm acting like it's not in the contract.
Oh, right. Sorry. We're supposed to keep that up, too.
Now I can call you Daddy in another frame of reference.
Now I call you daddy in front of other people.
If I had a dollar. Okay, yeah, tell us. So basically, John and I have been best friends and comedy partners for a long, long time. And we hosted a travel show called 101 Places to Party Before You Die with Sean Max. Yes, it's awesome. And we like to indulge and we kind of live by this lifestyle of like when in Rome and oftentimes that... Rome is Las Vegas.
So it's like we tend to get down and we find ourselves kind of growing up a little bit and thinking, well, we're in our early 40s now.
And like you do have to counteract.

Are you mid 40s? Are you calling yourself mid 40s?
We're the exact same age. I just turned 29. That's how the term mid started, right?
I'm emphasis on the mid over here.
I'm tech availed to play Sam Freed. I'm on ice. I'm on ice. I'm on ice for Sam Free. Put a pin in me.

Chapter 4: What changes do the hosts notice as they get older?
It's so good. You know, it's such a thing that all of a sudden you find yourself talking about, right? Everybody. Everybody. Right, in your 20s and 30s, you just party, you eat whatever you want, you drink whatever you want, you go anywhere, you do anybody you want, like anything that brings like pleasure or whatever. And then all of a sudden you find yourself- With lower back pain.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You're like, you talk to your, hey man, what's going on with it? Do you have this problem too? Like, does it hurt when you pee? Or like whatever it is, right? And you start talking about it. I noticed that too. It's like, yeah.
Part of the impetus to the show was we wanted to talk to health and wellness professionals to learn more and bring that information to other people. But also once you're a certain age, all your conversations with even comics, if you're not shit talking another comic, the thing you're talking about is like, have you started taking fish oil yet? Are you doing vitamin C tablets?
What are you streaming and what's wrong with you physically? Yeah. Yes, exactly. What are you watching? How are your streams, your piss and your movies? Right, exactly.
Weak, all of them weak.
Dribbly.
Dribbly. So can you tell us like one of the things that was the most, I know you probably get asked this a lot, but one of the most eye-opening things are the things that you implement now more than ever.

Chapter 5: What topics does Staying Alive cover related to health and wellness?
Well, I mean, it runs the gamut from like, you know, we had an immunologist on from the NIH who told us one of the simple things you can do is add, I'm going to say it wrong, but cruciferous vegetables into your diet.
And now we use that word like just to kind of be big dog you a little bit, Sean, but that means broccoli and cauliflower. We're so happy to have learned it that we bring it up in every conversation.
She was like, those are the vegetables that are really worth your- What do you mean? Like if you just eat those, you're good? I mean, they're nutrient dense, nutrient dense, and they're worth it to add to your diet.
If you're not eating them, get a general physician would say, OK, like if you're ordering Chinese food, chicken and broccoli is not a bad order because you're getting broccoli, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, very good. It's simple things, you know, on that level.
But then we also had a friend on, Elna, who told us that salvia can transport you to the quantum realm and you can experience true formlessness. Now, I don't know if I'm going to bring that into my routine, my health routine, adding rips of salvia. But this is the kind of information you can get at Staying Alive.
I love that. It's everything I'm for because I need this. The other day, literally just a week ago, Will Arnett said to me, I said, he goes, what'd you do yesterday? And I was like, well, I had this lunch with an agent of mine and then, and he goes, lunch? And I go, yeah, I like to keep my dinners free. And he goes, from what? Vegetables? Because I never, I never eat them. Yeah. I never eat them.
No, it's crazy that I'm in my super late 20s and I'm being told, eat more vegetables, and I'm taking that as like, holy shit, I haven't really considered that.
Yeah, I mean, I just add it in juice. That's just like the way that I'm getting it is now like in a juice form.
I stuff a cauliflower into my blunt.

Chapter 6: What are some practical health tips shared on the podcast?
And we are the co-hosts of SmartList Media's new podcast called Staying Alive.
That's right. Staying Alive, our new health and wellness podcast that is neither for the healthy or well.
Well, it's maybe for health by health.
We'll have guests like our friend, actor Jerry O'Connell. Pally, you are looking good. Thank you. I've seen you not looking good, and you're looking good. Thank you, JR.
You're not the first guest to say, I've seen you look worse.
Comedian Paul Scheer. I love the cold plunge. I found a lot of success. Do you have one in your house? I do. I also flooded my house with it, but that's why it's outside now. It's outside. Ketamine therapist Dr. Steven Radowitz.
It's called spiritual herd immunity. Now when you're in this place, I start to see through those things.
I believe in spiritual herd immunity because I'm a spiritual anti-vaxxer. Yeah, yeah. So I think that that's kind of the only way.

Chapter 7: What unusual wellness advice has Staying Alive explored?
And I'm a road hard 34.

You know, Adam and I, we may not be wellness experts, but I can tell you this.
We are curious freaks who love to talk about this shit. And we've done enough harm to our bodies to know that now's the time to maybe make a change.
