Dr. Drew is a snake oil salesman. Really terrible stuff here. What a disgrace.

4. "Dr" Oz is scarcely any better.

8. I was shocked to hear Dr. Oz on Hannity's radio show yesterday. He parroted RW talking points.

"The people who are most likely to die are people who are the most unproductive. They don't ad to the economy and they are the most expensive to maintain."

"Therefore, the economy should bounce back very rapidly, since the people we will lose don't contribute much to the economy."

"This should be pretty much over by the end of April."

"You know, Sean, I am always bragging about how knowledgeable my viewers are, but from the phone calls I am hearing today, your listeners are very well informed."

These are not actual quotes, I am working from memory, but I used quotation marks to invoke the experience.

9. I'd like to hear how Oprah feels about how Oz has turned out...

Of course, she turned a blind eye to all his hawking of quack "nutriceuticals." and other bs.

Yes, I still like Oprah, but some of her "mentees" have not exactly turned out so stellar.

5. This clown needs to have his medical license taken away.

Or he should be sued for malpractice.

By the way, Dr. Dumbfuck, it's not called COVID-19 because there at least 18 other versions of it.

7. Just a fucking asshole who figured out the easiest way to make money was to spew Repuke mantra

His original sidekick is another RW asshole with minimal talent who spews RW talking points.

13. In the 1980's, Dr. Drew was a sidekick to "The Poorman" on KROQ's Loveline.

It was a trio with The Poorman, Dr. Drew, and a lawyer (I forgot his name). The Poorman created the show while the dr and lawyer were his sidekicks.

Sometime in the early 90's there was an on-air dispute between Dr. Drew and The Poorman. A few days later KROQ replaced The Poorman with Rikki Rachtman. That lasted for a few years until Adam Corrolla came on board.

I always thought Dr. Drew screwed the Poorman and Rikki.

[rufus dog]

14. I stand corrected - the Poorman ain't a piece of shit

But Adam is.

[Progressive Law]

15. agreed

[rufus dog]

16. and you are old DUDE!

On a positive note, I forgot about Drew being on with the Poorman, so you are in better mental shape than I am.

17. Rikki Rachtman invited me to the studio during a Loveline show in the early '90s.

I met Dr. Drew. He gave me the creeps. Everyone else in the studio was so nice and accommodating, bu Dr. Drew was a prick.

[rufus dog]

18. thanks for making me feel a bit better

Perhaps I would have remembered Kevin and Bean in the morning better if I had gone to the studio.

Do you remember Joe Walsh doing a KLOS afternoon gig on Friday afternoons? Early 90's it think.

[Progressive Law]

19. Hmmm...I can't recall. I mostly had KROQ on 24/7.

[blitzen]

10. Class action lawsuit vs. Dr Drew? For practicing medicine without a soul...

or with a soul leased from the Devil.

20. Am I the only one who had never heard of him until the past day or two?

He should be irrelevant.
