Young MacDonald (w/ Lauren Lapkus)

In this episode of Staying Alive, the fellas sit down for a breathless, hilarious conversation with the fantastic Lauren Lapkus (Stuart Fails To Save The Universe, The Wrong Missy, Gabrus’ former co-host on the podcast Raised By TV), talking about everything from hoarders to barre class, from JNCOs to SoulCycle, from migraines to eating vegetarian, from Taxicab Confessions to Flock cameras, and all points between. Plus: Gabrus needs a stroller, for Grogu.
