On this episode of Staying Alive, the fellas are in New York and they spend a little time with one of their old friends, the hilarious and upbeat Kurt Braunohler (Bananas, Bob’s Burgers, Bunk) to talk about smoothies, surfing (specifically getting your stoke back), therapy, tofu, and how in New York the seasons are REAL. Plus: New Jersey vacations, saving the Amazon, and fiber. When the cat’s away…the cat will play.
