About this episode

Join Alex in the studio for a very special, full circle solo episode. The Boston Red Sox have invited Alex to throw the first pitch at Fenway Park, but little do they know she and the Red Sox go wayyyy back. Alex shares a story from the vault about her first ever professional athlete and how their whirlwind romance completely took over her life at BU. From making out on the bar, to following grown men into the bathroom, to doing whatever it took to get into the family and friends section at the ballpark… this episode is a wild ride full of twists, turns, and a little bit of delusion. Alex takes us on a hilarious trip down memory lane, discussing some of the most unhinged things she did to keep this man’s attention, and reminisces on how she ultimately flipped the script and took back the power in the relationship. Enjoy!
