I Left Everything Behind to Start Over - Alex Hertlein

Send a text

Alex Hertlein is a stand-up comic, former junior hockey player, and one of the most mysterious guests I’ve ever had on. With almost zero social media presence, Alex walked away from his life in Denver — hockey stick and all — to chase laughs in Austin. You might’ve seen him on Kill Tony (#728), but today he’s here to unpack everything from Catholic guilt to conspiracy theories, anger management to Zyn addiction, and the struggles of starting over when nobody knows your name.

🎧 Episode highlights:

• How he left hockey behind for comedy
• Growing up Catholic in Denver
• The temper behind the laughs
• Navigating death, dopamine, and discipline
• Shenanigans from youth group to Kill Tony
