Summary

On this episode of The Adam and Dr. Drew Show, Adam kicks things off by explaining why he couldn’t care less about public perception, while Dr. Drew explores what ultimately killed traditional television. They reflect on how easy it is to create content today compared to the massive infrastructure once required for TV and radio. Adam recalls the early days of his podcast, sharing how he was shelling out $10,000 a month for bandwidth before making a dime. The two dig into the rise and fall of The Man Show, revealing behind-the-scenes details and why a show like that could never be made today. Dr. Drew brings up a new study suggesting sitting around a campfire boosts mental health, which sparks a conversation about nostalgia, cultural shifts, and the looming threat of another major California earthquake—something Adam experienced firsthand at one of the lowest points in his life.
