Dr. Drew Pinsky, who called Covid-19 a "press-induced panic," has Covid-19

But did Dr. John (or Dr. J, for that matter) give out health advice?

They get a pass. So do pediatricians who use their first name to calm their patients.

And so far, Dr. Bronner hasn’t let me down

Was doing the exact same thing as you, but in 2006. Staying up late on school nights with my radio turned down super low. Listening to Dr. Drew tell people:

“it burns when you pee because you had unprotected sex with a bunch of strangers. Wear a condom. Go get tested”

And

“It’s hard for you to stop drinking because you’re an alcoholic”

Sure he wasn’t massively woke, but he really was super progressive compared with my parents and church.

Adam Carola is a fuckwad though. I wish they didn’t keep him on Love Line for so long.

Yeah I used to listen to LoveLine back even earlier, gosh around 1996-1998 when I lived in Denver?

Looks like Carolla joined the show late in 1995, and I only remember listening to the show in the evenings with him and Pinsky. Dr Drew was often the voice of reason on many of the calls they took, so I’m surprised to learn he became a COVID denier

Sounds like this all went down around Feb - March and he apologized and recanted by April 6th.
