Dr. Drew Sees Parallels Between The Homeless and Celebrities

Dr. Drew Pinsky’s 2008 book, “The Mirror Effect,” was an insightful analysis of celebrity culture when originally published. Looking back, it’s also turned out to be a prescient guide to the social media landscape that’s emerged over the past decade. In this episode of Dad Saves America, we discuss social media, narcissism, substance abuse, therapy, and Dr. Drew’s wide-reaching career.

Dr. Drew is a practicing doctor of internal medicine as well as an addiction specialist and has become known for hosting KROQ’s “Loveline” for over 30 years, starring in VH1’s ”Celebrity Rehab,” and hosting a number of daytime shows. Dr. Drew recently wrote a teen guide on consent that deals with identity and relationships that he co-authored with his daughter Paulina Pinsky called ”It Doesn’t Have To Be Awkward.”

Dr. Drew’s currently hosts “Dr. Drew After Dark,” produced by Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky’s YMH Studios, hosts “Ask Dr. Drew," and co-hosts “The Adam and Drew Show” with Adam Carolla.
