On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally get to sit down with one of their heroes, the great Tim Heidecker (Office Hours Live, On Cinema, Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job) to discuss magic tricks, taking walks for ideas, insurance physicals, GLP-1s, InfoWars, and how Tim & Eric got out ahead of TikTok. Plus: Pally continues his one-man anti-clowning crusade, and everybody misses the eccentric ways baseball players used to hold the bat. NOTE: This episode was recorded between Games 4 and 5 of the NBA Finals, so it’s understandably still on everybody’s mind.
