Alex and Jon are finally back, and emotionally- slightly more stable. After some much needed time off and hours in therapy, they’re ready to launch into the new season of Give It To Me Straight! In this week’s comeback episode, they’re catching you up on what they’ve been up to and some major life updates. They’ve missed oversharing into microphones. They’ve missed you. And yes—Alex is still trying not to talk over Jon (but let’s be honest, some traditions are sacred).
