EP.12.ALEX.HOOPER GET ADDICTED TO PROGRESS

from Knew Normal Hosted by Brian Neufang

What do hugs, drugs and pugs have in common? They all have special place in the heart of this weeks guest, Alex Hooper! I had the pleasure of sitting down with Alex to talk about life and comedy and living life comically. Alex Hooper is a stand-up comedian, actor and professional roaster who delights crowds by blending dark humor with silly positivity. He is best known for his appearances on America’s Got Talent, being one of a select few contestants to have been asked to return after being eliminated. His comeback on season 15 is one of the greatest moments in televised comedy I've ever seen! In 2018 Alex released his debut comedy album Hugs. Drugs. Pugs. It hit #1 on Amazon and #3 on iTunes Best Selling Comedy Records. And in 2022 he released is sophomore comedy album Calm Down Peasants on A Special Thing Records To say Alex is a serious pug lover is an understatement. For 2018 he created The Pug Yoga Calendar to raise funds for pug rescue: Pug Nation of LA. Ellen Degeneres spotlighted the sold-out 2018 Pug Yoga Calendar on The Ellen Show. Alex has been named by Funny Or Die as one of the 15 Funniest Comics to Follow. His TV credits include: America’s Got Talent - Seasons 13 & 15 Comedy Central’s Roast Battle Comedy Central’s Corporate Fox’s New Girl TVLand Nickelodeon and the truly prodigious, Bad Girls Club. We cover a lot of terrain in this conversation. My only regret is not getting it out sooner but, it's here now and sometimes done is better than perfect! I'm on a new mission and playing catch up while moving forward. I hope you enjoy this part of the journey. Thanks for rocking with me.

I have been on my holistic healing journey since 2020 after a massive awakening thanks to a sound healing ceremony. Since then I have dedicated my free time to health and healing (when I'm not too consumed with being a mama of two). Health is something that has always been important to me, but healing myself in a holistic way has allowed me to become a version of myself I am truly proud of. I had no idea there was an option for living life outside of survival mode. As someone who has been in some state of fight, flight or freeze since I was a small child the idea of any other life seemed out of reach and down right unrealistic. I honestly thought how I was living and feeling was totally normal. Once I started to heal all parts of myself down to the cells I am made up of I realized life is so much more than people pleasing, anxiety attacks and living life in a haze. I've been exciting that survival mode and entering my era of thriving. I feel ready and so e Explicit The Markus Allen Show Markus Allen A daily(ish) radio show about escaping the new normal.
