Summary

On this episode of The Adam and Dr. Drew Show, Adam and Dr. Drew try to pinpoint the moment society began its slow descent into chaos. They dive into the cultural obsession with “work-life balance” and call out modern men who think more like chicks than dudes. The two also react to a recent Gavin Newsom tweet and discuss the absurdity of today’s car commercials—including a Volkswagen ad featuring two men caring for a sheep like it’s a dog, and another with a man writing a letter in his car. What happened to selling horsepower and performance? Their takeaway: this generation no longer sweats the details—and it shows.
