On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with a guy who’s really done the work, it’s The Simpsons showrunner Matt Selman, and he’s brought along his Doughboys hat and a Notes app full of fitness topics to discuss, so you KNOW this is serious business. They’ll talk about Gold’s Gym, mindless accumulation, getting reprimanded for singing while working out, getting paid to laugh at powerful people, getting fired from Seinfeld, and, of course, food, at some length. Plus: John Cena says “alcohol kills gains,” and what are we doing with this lotion in the bathroom thing, everybody?

Check out Matt’s up-and-coming new show-that-could, The Simpsons, on Hulu or Disney+
