On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down at The Comedy Store with their old friend, multitasking comedian Paul Scheer, to talk about ref’ing kid’s sports, ADHD diagnoses, getting rollerblade fit, and the time Paul flooded his house. Pally also only got one hour of sleep, and Gabrus reads out their late night/early morning text exchange. Dry land is a myth.
