Doug Stanhope doesn’t heart Dr. Drew
I’ve always been a huge fan of Dr. Drew. I loved listening to him and Adam Corolla on Loveline and I really wish there had been a person to ask questions about drugs and sex when I was a teen. He was an eloquent and frequent proponent of the “morning after” pill, and he seemed to offer sane advice, without ever seeming to look down on the people he was advising.
Plus unlike Dr. Laura or Dr. Phil - he’s actually a real doctor.
One of the more amazing parts of the show, was how quickly Drew could tell when one of his callers had been physically or sexually abused. It was almost instaneous upon hearing the voice.
I’m not really sure how I feel about his Celebrity Rehab and Sober House shows. They really do seem exploitive. The show proposes that it is a educational view of rehab, but really all anyone watches for is to see semi-famous people wreck one train after another.
Doug Stanhope is sure how he feels about Dr. Drew, and since I can’t top this rant - I’ll just produce it below.
