Summary

In this episode, Adam and Dr. Drew tackle everything from California’s gas price lies to the emotional chaos behind modern protest culture. Adam unpacks the recent report revealing that oil companies weren’t gouging Californians—it was just bad policy all along, and yet politicians like Gavin Newsom misled the public to push their agendas. The duo discusses how cartoon-level thinking and emotional projection have taken over public discourse, especially when it comes to figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump, who trigger outrage not for what they do—but for how they make people feel.

Dr. Drew shares insights on the Laurel Canyon music scene and how many iconic musicians were shaped by military upbringings and rejections of authority, connecting that cultural rebellion to today’s obsession with identity, victimhood, and safe spaces. They also dive into why young men are disappearing from trade jobs, the inflated value of college, and how generations are being sold a lie that comfort is a virtue. From Tesla protests to Joe Biden’s “affable” shield from criticism, this episode offers a blistering breakdown of where we are—and how we got here.
