Classic #1214: Extinction Illness

Author: PodcastOne / Carolla Digital January 6, 2026 Duration: 34:58
January 12, 2020 - Adam and Dr. Drew open the show discussing things that have gone out of style and how those are juxtaposed against things that have left our society as a result of technological advances. They also discuss the addiction that our children have to screens and the negative impact that is having on our youth before transitioning into a conversation about climate change and the reluctance that some have to learning from their experiences. They then turn to the phones and speak to a caller who is looking for advice on his mother and the agitation she is experiencing.

For anyone who remembers the chaotic, insightful, and hilarious late-night radio of the past, The Adam and Dr. Drew Show feels like a welcome return to form. This podcast reunites the legendary duo, Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky, whose chemistry first captivated audiences on the cultural phenomenon Loveline. Their dynamic remains unchanged: a frank and uncensored conversation where listeners' calls about intimate relationships, medical curiosities, and personal struggles are met with a unique blend of expertise and unfiltered comedy. Dr. Drew provides the grounded medical and psychological perspective, offering real advice drawn from decades of experience. Adam, in turn, serves as the everyman's voice, cutting through tension with sharp-witted rants and comedic observations that make even the most awkward topics approachable. It’s this combination-the medicine and the spoonful of sugar-that defines each episode. The discussion isn't confined to strict advice; it often spirals into broader observations on fitness, modern culture, and the oddities of society, all filtered through their distinct personalities. Tuning in feels less like listening to a structured show and more like eavesdropping on a decades-long friendship where no subject is off limits and laughter is a constant, even when tackling life's messier parts. New episodes deliver that signature mix of heartfelt concern and hilarious cynicism, a podcast that continues the pair's legacy of making sense of the human condition, one uncensored call at a time.
