Join Oliver as he chills with comedian and author Alex Wood for the premiere episode of season 3! Alex is an accomplished comic that has performed at the Just For Laughs festival more than once, as well as at the prestigious Massey Hall in Toronto. In addition to those impressive credits, he has been published by VICE, hosted a very successful podcast and has now released his hilarious and captivating first book titled 'Float Like A Butterfly, Drink Mint Tea'!

The chat starts off with Alex sharing his deep-rooted love for New York City, before things shift to talk about obscure recreational drugs like 'poppers' and salvia. Alex talks about navigating his comedy career over the years while battling his various addictions and medical issues. Oliver learns more about Alex's eventual path toward recovery and how that journey would lead to the creation of his podcast 'Alex Wood Quits Everything' (and ultimately the release of his book in 2021). Alex discusses some of the strategies that he has learned to help harness his willpower, while also highlighting that we are all always still a work in progress.
