In this episode of Staying Alive, we’ve got another one of our bosses on the line, it’s the absolutely hysterical Sean Hayes (halfway to an EGOT, will this podcast appearance be his Grammy?!). Hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally get deep with Sean about his fitness, diet, sleep, hypochondria, memorization tricks, Broadway endurance, and the dangers of getting into a comedic flow state. Plus: the time Sean and Gabrus made a hair-based game show, and “that movie Rocky, do you know that movie Rocky?”
