The girls are very excited to welcome a real doctor to today’s episode, and not just any doctor - Dr. Drew Pinsky! In case you you live under a rock (or in Israel): Dr. Drew is a board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist known for his shows Loveline, Celebrity Rehab, Teen Mom, and currently Dr. Drew After Dark, the Dr. Drew Podcast, and The Adam and Drew Show (co-hosted by Adam Carolla) - busy guy! He is not to be confused with Dr. Dre, as Wikipedia warns us. You can find him on https://drdrew.com/ and all the socials.
Warning: in this episode we talk a lot about sex, drugs, addictions - all from a medical perspective of course! Trust us, we’re a doctor.
