On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with Judy Gemstone herself, the hilarious and metaphysical Edi Patterson (The Righteous Gemstones, Vice Principals, Knives Out) to discuss comedy cruises, Citi Bikes, high vs low vibrational beings, how the root of anxiety is ego, how improv is god, and also Edi teaches the boys how to arm wrestle properly. Plus: The Knicks as a force for community, and a phone call from Edi’s mom.
