Megyn Kelly is joined by Dr. Drew Pinsky and his daughter Paulina Pinsky to discuss their new book, “It Doesn't Have to Be Awkward: Dealing with Relationships, Consent, and Other Hard-to-Talk-About Stuff.” Before the father-daughter duo get into their book, Dr. Drew and Megyn discuss the false headline that border patrol uses whips against Haitian migrants, the new study on increasing BMI in children during the pandemic, and why the FDA and CDC have nothing to do with medicine or how it’s practiced. Paulina joins her father to discuss what it was like growing up with a famous (and workaholic) dad, her struggles with an eating disorder, seeking help from an outside therapist, how to discuss hard topics with children and young adults, and more.
