Today Alessandra is joined by Jordy Cray (@jordycray), one of our favorite pop culture influencers! Although known well for his viral takes on celebrity news, there is more to Jordy's story that Alessandra resonates with. Jordy talks about his experience as an addict, the moment of realization and the long road to recovery that led him to want to help others as well. To end it, Jordy gives us his thoughts on the Zack Bryan drama, the Housewives of Salt Lake City, and can some get Jason Kelce security!?

Introducing Sir Chris Hoy - ‘There’s no cure but I still find hope’ from How To Fail With Elizabeth Day.

Follow the show: How To Fail With Elizabeth Day

It was an honour to record this episode. We overuse words such as ‘hero’ and ‘inspiration’ but Sir Chris Hoy is both. Not only is he one of Great Britain’s most successful Olympic athletes (during a record-breaking career as a sprint cyclist, he won six gold medals, one silver medal, and 11 world championships) but he’s currently living with a Stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. In September 2023, a seemingly routine trip to the doctor’s turned into a waking nightmare when he was given between two and four years to live. His beloved wife Sarra was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a month later. And yet, these two extraordinary people say they are lucky.

Listen to this episode if you want to feel joy, hear wisdom and learn how to live with love in the face of death. Sir Chris - you’re an amazing human being. Thank you for spending this precious time with me.

If you or someone you love is going through a mental or physical health challenge, as Sir Chris Hoy says: you are not alone. You can call the Samaritans 24/7 on 116 123.`

All That Matters by Sir Chris Hoy is out now.

Does anyone else feel like they're in a slump right now, or is it just Alessandra and Vee? Alessandra talks about battling negative self talk and the power of the tongue. Vee doesn't care for highschool nostalgia and literally gasps when hearing about Alessandra's class size. They both talks about their first time smoking weed and how they got roofied by a pimp many parties ago. Spoiler alert: everyone made it out okay!
