The first two episodes of Adam Pally’s new podcast venture “Staying Alive” have officially launched, bringing a fresh blend of comedy and wellness to listeners. The actor announced the news through an Instagram post revealing that he and co-host Jon Gabrus recently sat down with cardiologist Dr. Amar Shere for their debut episodes.
Comedy Meets Wellness In New Podcast Format
The Instagram post features a promotional image showing Pally and Gabrus, with the announcement clearly stating: “The first TWO episodes of Staying Alive are out now! On this week’s episode, @adam.pally and @gabrus sat down with Cardiologist, @amarsheremd!” The post encourages fans to subscribe to ensure they don’t miss upcoming episodes.
This podcast represents a new direction for Pally, who has built his career primarily in comedy and acting. The format appears to blend humor with practical health information, creating what could be described as a comedy-wellness hybrid.
Behind The Scenes Of ‘Staying Alive’
The podcast has been in the promotional phase for several weeks. In a previous Instagram post, Pally and Gabrus were shown discussing cruciferous vegetables in what was described as a “hot wellness tip,” with the duo “diving headfirst into the leafy world of cruciferous veggies—and immediately regretting it.” This humorous approach to health topics seems to be the central premise of the show.
An earlier promotional video from April announced that the pair were “joining forces to help you stay alive (and laugh)” with the official premiere date set for April 24th. The comedic chemistry between Pally and Gabrus appears to be a key selling point of the production.
Who Is Adam Pally?
For those unfamiliar with Pally, the 42-year-old actor and comedian is best known for his roles on television shows like “Happy Endings,” where he played Max Blum, and “The Mindy Project,” where he portrayed Dr. Peter Prentice. According to his Wikipedia profile, Pally was born on March 18, 1982, in New York City and has established himself as a versatile performer in both television and film.
His film credits include roles in the “Sonic the Hedgehog” franchise, “Iron Man 3,” and indie comedies like “Most Likely to Murder.” Beyond acting, Pally has been increasingly active in producing and creating content, with “Staying Alive” representing his latest creative endeavor.
Gabrus And Pally: A Comedic Partnership
Jon Gabrus, Pally’s co-host, is a comedian and improviser known for his podcast work and appearances on comedy shows. The pair seem to have established a strong rapport that translates well to the audio format, with their banter forming the backbone of “Staying Alive.”
In a recent podcast appearance elsewhere, Pally discussed his background, mentioning that he grew up in New York City before moving to Chicago, and shared that he comes from a family with “lounge-singer-parents.” Interestingly, he also revealed that his father was in medical school when he was younger – a background that might inform his interest in creating a wellness-focused podcast.
Balancing Comedy And Health Information
What sets “Staying Alive” apart from purely comedic podcasts is its focus on legitimate health information delivered through conversations with actual medical professionals. The first guest, Dr. Amar Shere, is a practicing cardiologist, suggesting the show aims to provide credible health advice despite its humorous packaging.
This balance of entertainment and education appears to be central to the podcast’s mission. While the exact format of each episode isn’t fully detailed in the announcement, the inclusion of medical professionals indicates a commitment to providing listeners with valuable health insights alongside laughs.
What To Expect From ‘Staying Alive’
Based on the promotional materials and early episode topics, “Staying Alive” appears poised to tackle various health and wellness subjects with a decidedly comedic approach. The choice to launch with a cardiologist suggests heart health might be among the first serious topics addressed, though filtered through the hosts’ humorous perspective.
For fans of either Pally or Gabrus, the podcast offers a chance to enjoy their comedy while potentially picking up useful health information. For those interested in wellness content but deterred by overly serious approaches, “Staying Alive” might provide an accessible entry point to important health topics.
The podcast is available now on major podcast platforms, with subscribers receiving new episodes as they’re released.
