  • Dr Drew Can Do Better

    Let me start with the good:

    I love Dr Drew! He’s a smart, great, well-intentioned guy whose heart and mind are in the right place. He’s a wealth of information and I love hearing his thoughts on many topics. I used to feel sooo bad for him listening to The Adam & Dr. Drew Show when Adam yells at him for being spastic. He does a great job on that show - he’s smart, informative and on point.

    This show on the other hand is a hot mess! And I’m saying this from a heart of love.

  • Terrible. ESP the wife jumping in while he’s talking.

    Drew’s wife randomly laughs into a mic and it’s just weird. She’s not on show but just laughs at highly odd things like organ harvesting segment today (8/28/26). It’s loud & just outta place. Same with the so called producer, it kills the show as they are idiots. It’s a clown show. Not to mention ads that fear monger and it’s just very corrupt vibes with guests obviously being paid ad half the time but drew doesn’t let us know this. Rate good episodes in mix but the corruption ruins it overall... more

    Completely biased for someone who promises to be against tribalism in their description. It’s all show business. A true Doctor would be much more level headed and objective.
