In this week’s episode of Not Alone, Valeria and Gary sit down to unpack the wild, hilarious, and surprising stories that caught their attention recently. What starts as a response to her last solo episode, quickly turns into a rapid-fire conversation about everything from “Scrotox” going mainstream to the debate around who really sets beauty standards. They dive into the rise of the “facekini,” why broke men date attractive women, and what healthy masculinity actually looks like today. Gary brings his own lineup of headlines too, including the unexpected link between Viagra and hearing loss prevention, a new app changing how people flirt, and why old-school tech is making a comeback. The two also break down the Chiara Ferragni scandal, challenge each other over an “offensive” post, and end with a debate on why women multitask better. It’s chaotic in the best way - smart, funny, and filled with the kind of honest back-and-forth only these two can deliver.
