On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with their old mentor, friend, frenemy, bullyer, and bullyee Chris Gethard (The Chris Gethard Show, Beautiful/Anonymous, Weird NY) to talk about mental health, sobriety, their long shared history at UCB, and to relate epic tales of Gabrus and Gethard’s time together at a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym. Plus, Gabrus was part of the only perfect improv scene Chris ever saw, and yes, Gethard is an EMT now.
