In this episode, Adam and Dr. Drew kick things off by unpacking the narcissism epidemic and the naïve idealism behind John Lennon’s “Imagine.” Adam reflects on how he sounded the alarm decades ago about the importance of trade skills—especially for kids from low-income families. Adam reflects on his long-standing warnings about the need for trade education, especially for kids from low-income urban areas, and criticizes VH1’s “Save the Music” campaign as a misguided effort. Dr. Drew admits his own shortcomings in shop class, while Adam breaks down why you won’t find aluminum cans on L.A. streets—because incentives matter. Finally, Adam and Dr. Drew talk about a tragic parasailing accident caused by a panic attack, and they highlight the stark differences in how men and women respond to fear.
