On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally spend an hour with one of their funniest and most savagely cut friends, the hilarious Joel Kim Booster (Fire Island, Scrubs, Intimacy Coordinator), and they go deep about male friendships, marriage, intrusive thoughts, chosen families, K-holes, boy kibble, hypomania and much more. Plus: making career gains on gay cruises, getting stopped at security for sex toys, and tailgating at the funeral home. Follow Joel @ihatejoelkimListen to Intimacy Coordinator anywhere you get your podcasts! This episode was recorded October 26, 2026 at Forever Dog in Los Angeles, CASpecial thanks to Brett BohamStaying Alive is produced by Devon Torrey Bryant and Anne HarrisEngineered and edited by Devon Torrey Bryant, who also wrote the musicAssociate producer and video editor is Maddie McCannExecutive produced by Jon Gabrus, Adam Pally, Sean Hayes, Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Bernie Kaminski, and Rich Korson Keywords for this episode: DINKs, food truck, London, pub, Old Fashioned, Selfies, Tyson Beckford, marriage, Allison Jones, intrusive thoughts, COVID, Plainfield, Skokie, funerals, grief, K-hole, San Francisco, male friendships, Fire Island, chosen family, community, run club, work friends, Julian Barratt, gay cruises, Toronto, TSA, weed, sex toys, gym, Doughboys, Off Menu, boy kibble, whey protein, Panda Express, writer’s block, Reddit, bipolar, hypomania, meds, control, GLP-1 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
