Pally recently launched Staying Alive, a comedic health and wellness podcast co-hosted with longtime friend and collaborator Jon Gabrus. Pally and Gabrus previously co-hosted the truTV series 101 Places to Party Before You Die. Additional and upcoming film and television credits include O Horizon, Who Invited Charlie?, FUBAR and RUN.
