Dr drew has looked like he's been 45 for the past 30 years

"Make your bed" Hey drew I think someone else already beat you to that lol

We will unlock the meaning of life, but first...

I am loving these Sunday specials!!!! I think it's just such a great way of looking at the same issues from a different perspective!!

Board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. 'Shut up Drew' - Adam Carolla

“Change my mind”...he’s thinking of Steven Crowder

Wow, this show has already become part of my Sunday ritual. High-quality guests with different ideas and takes on everyday life and on the most pressing issues of our time. Very inspiring in a way which one is prone to reflection! Luv that. A big hug from Brazil.

The man had his hands around Ben and was threatening to put him in an ambulance. It was get out of your chair time there, Doctor.

"Why do we have a gynecologist if there's no difference?" Dr. Drew Excellent!

Glad you talked about the Zoey incident. but I'm not satisfied with Dr. Drew's explanation/excuse. Zoey's behaviour was unacceptable.

I'm a recovering addict on the Suboxone program and also in therapy. The majority of heroin addicts in the US are not getting hooked through pain medication regiments. Only 1/4 maybe 1/3 of the population do that. As some others have said there is a life/moral/mental issue here at play.

While others are addicted to Netflix, I'm addicted to Ben Shapiro. :D

The majority of addicts are not former pain management patients. They are people who are suffering mentally, not physically.

Invite Mike Rowe

I thought it was an excellent conversation.

10 seconds in I'm already remembering what happened the last time ben and dr.drew were in same room together having a "conversation"

One of the best interviews this year.

Dr. Drew really knocked it out of the park, great show Ben!

Fantastic conversation, very entertaining and thought provoking. Thank you Dr. Drew and Ben. People really need to educate themselves, like Dr. Drew has, in order to understand the world and individual responsability to serving it.

It's amazing to me how someone so well educated and intellectually informed, as Doctor Drew. Would also be so profoundly ignorant not to mention simple minded about religion. I don't expect everyone to be an expert in all subjects mind you. I don't expect everyone to be a believer. A working knowledge of basic things should be the default, not an exception.

Wowowowowowow so cool! This series has so far been amazing!

This new series is outstanding! And I mean that quite literally, compared to the other fare available: the droning panels of "experts", the talking heads competing to see who can interrupt one another the most. This is great conversation in long form, both deep and wide, with considered thoughts from multiple angles. This and a cup of coffee -- it's a wonderful way to spend a late Sunday morning -- a bubble of agreeable reason amid the chaos. Thanks!

By the way, this is one of the most civilized and proper discussion and debates have seen in a while. No yelling, no people from the crowd destructing the lecture no protest, this is the way debates and discussions should be done. These two have given the prime example of how it's done correctly. Bravo Ben Shapiro and dr. Drew palensky

....of course Ben knows the references, read the books he read. We need this man in the White House. Shapiro 2024.

Drew speed: 1.0x, Shapiro speed: 1.5x You can tell Shapiro is thinking my god why can't he talk faster

I love these Sunday morning interviews. Ben please consider interviewing Mike Rowe.

I started this interview thinking I would probably tune out or stop watching partway in. Dr. Drew gave me a lot to think about here, and I'm glad I watched it.

These specials are so needed! Thank's guys.

No one ever gets off opiates until they make up their mind to quit, period.

make your bed -Dr Drew ... clean up your room -JBP .... hey thanks mom!

Love Dr Drew, Really glad you had him on your show Ben. Great conversation. Glad you cleared up the infamous incident. Lot's of gratitude. Lovely views from both.

Really enjoyed this! Thanks Ben & Dr.Drew!

I've never watched Dr. Drew. I like him a lot! Thanks Ben.

Great show Ben and Dr Drew, thank you!!

I have always loved Dr. Drews heart. When he talks it is obvious that he kind heart and spirit!

I absolutely love Dr. Drew...I was addicted to Celebrity rehab! Kenicke who starred in Grease, Steven Adler, and last but not least and Mike Starr, their stories were heartbreaking yet eye opening! Dr. Drew's knowledge of addiction left me mesmerized. Yet after watching Ben on his show few years later (Zoey or Joey Tur incident) the affection I had for Dr. Drew changed. I didnt like him much anymore (felt like he could have intervened) but after watching this all is forgiven! This was informative and inspiring to watch! Keep up the good work Ben, there is much work to be done and you are right on track. God Bless You!

Breaking: Next week's guest will be Zoey Tur.

You guys need to have show notes so that we can look up these philosophers and learn.

I remember listening to Dr. Drew's radio show "Love Line" around the last 2-3 years. He's helped me through puberty, my parents divorce, and other life hurdles. Still a big fan. Love the Sunday Specials so far!

These are fantastic, and I really appreciate you doing them. It's awesome to get out of the box of your daily life and stretch your legs a little. Not often can you sit in on conversations like these where they challenge you to think. Great job, please keep these coming.

Dr. Drew is a great mind. We need to let people like him, Jordan Peterson, and Ben Shapiro lead the conversations in moving forward and finding direction in American society.

"Ongst"

I like Dr.Drew a lot. Good person and good human being, he just tries to make sense of the world around us while trying to be respectful, and I also like his voice because it's very soothing and calming. Thank you Dr.Drew for everything you have discussed in this interview.

In a time of such divide, this conversation about connecting with one another, building empathy and not using other people for your own needs (even subconsciously) is excellent.

Watching this before I receive the Eucharist at 10. Sorry Dr Drew.

A lot of people use opiate addiction as a form of escape from past traumas and mental anguish. We've been so secular an independent we don't know how to go to people for help or to find fulfillment in our lives. So instead of staying with that pain a lot of people I know always turn to drugs or alcohol to numb it. I think Humanity itself is missing something important

I enjoyed this episode of "The Sunday Special" the most. Dr. Drew has an interesting take on things and presents concepts in a way that I can understand. Thanks for these Ben.

Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla where my dads, sex ed teachers and counselors/life coaches when I was 12-17 yrs old. Listened to them every night Sunday-Thursday on loveline back in the day. Good times

Empathy without justice is not love.

I'm not an addict. I can however, relate to wanting to escape life's painful experiences. Having said that, what makes a person seek drug use to do that? I was raised to move through the pain and persevere. I can't relate to what I personally view as being weak. Every person is different but the same. It's 's a complex issue. I'm empathetic to the addicts struggle. I too want all humans to thrive.

Loving this series so far!

Ben Shapiro doing a sponsor ad is so entertaining

54:20 Clean your room while you're at it. Also, this felt way too short. Please do more with Drew in the future.

Missed you last week!

Been listening to Drew since I was a kid growing up in O.C. and have never heard him go this deep before. Fantastic show!

A very nice episode, thoroughly enjoyable. I really appreciated the relaxed and almost casual conversational tone of this interview! Looking forward to more.

The mind of God never changes.

You should do an interview with Ross Douthat. He's brilliant

Well done, between Ben and Dave Rubin, my brain is full.

I love the fact that Dr Drew has been as consistent as he can try to be. I have been on the fence about how I feel about him which I guess doesn't matter in the grand scheme of the universe but after this interview he goes up a few points in my book.

I'm actually looking forward to this

Hey Jeff goldblum

Loving the Sunday specials. Great reason to get up early and make my bed!

Excellent! I now have a much better understanding of Dr. Drew and where he comes from. Keep up the good interviews. Love this site!

This conversation wasn't as intellectually stimulating as I had anticipated. Am I the only one feeling this way?

#getcrowderonsundayspecial

Loving these Sunday specials

I am really enjoying these Sunday specials, keep it up!

why not just edit in an ad?!

Dr. Drew in the HIZZY! Love Drew been listening to him and Adam since I was 12 that's 23 years!

Absolutley brilliant. I could have happily sat through a couple more hours of that. You can tell that both men learned from one another. You two should converse more often.

What a fascinating interview. Glad I listened.

Hey ben and crew, i think if you pre record and edit in the ads it will feel less awkward. Other podcasts like the h3 podcasts do this and do it well

I'm actually looking forward to Ben Shapiro's comment on the #jawbreakers conspiracy

Very entertaining and thought provoking conversation. Thanks Ben for your Sunday shows. Do you ever rest?

I've always loved Ben Shapiro since the first time I ever saw him debate anyone. But I can't believe how much of a fan I am of dr. Drew and his intellect. I remember watching him when I was a teenager on MTV and never really being able to appreciate what an intellectual he is. Kudos to both of these guys I would say two of the best Minds out there.

Yay

Drew lost me at Abraham hallucinating, Jesus' execution being cathartic sacrifice and communion being cannibalism.

was literally making my bed while Drew said Make your Bed 🤣

Two of my favorite people together, awesome. Thanks Ben.

He looks like an old Nicholas cage

12 Step= Life Saver "The brain does not work with out other brains." Once we work with others, we find spirituality and lose what no longer works in the old brain.

Never thought I'd watch a Dr. Drew interview in its entirety.. Figured he was a basic cable tv host... He definitely surprised me. Smart, informed, and very reasonable.

I find this new movement of open discussions on here, Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin, etc to be so god damn enlightening. The fact that my 3-month-ago self would of automatically written off Ben because of the dogma I followed to now being a huge fan of his (though I don't agree on everything, which is actually a great thing and proves how impactful and NECESSARY these discussions are) is unbelievably human. I have never before thought more for myself than I do now and it's extremely special. I really appreciate everyone involved in this movement: Joe, Jordan, Ben, The Weinstein brothers (not THOSE brothers), Sam, Dave, etc. Also, Ben, great productions on these. I love the slider shots and the practical industrial lights in the background.

eHarmony

I really wish Drew understood that God is the primary and active spirtual force and He is love and justice at the same time. Drew has this spiritually ambiguous view that is "sound and fury" but also, signifying nothing

Amazing conversation. Thank you Dr. Drew and Mr. Shapiro.

Thanks Ben Loving the Sunday interviews!

Dr. Drew’s idea of how Judaism went from no sacrifice to Christianity worshiping a human sacrifice, is too simplistic. For the idea of human sacrifice of the old were a fault of their own mental issues and a way to make it through life. But the one in the Christian sense is that the evil of the world and evil that is in our hearts are now absolved and no other sacrifice shall be made. Before Abraham human sacrifice was acceptable, until god revealed that this was just a test. And during the Roman Empire human sacrifice was again acceptable,but it fulfilled the ultimate test when god sacrificed his own son. Showing that instead of toting God around as prevailing against evil, but humbling yourself before God for the ultimate sacrifice. As a catholic I give a great respect to the Jewish faith and culture and I will not push my faith upon them. But I this case Dr. Drew should put a little bit more research into the religion of Christianity before he passive aggressively jabs at the glory of Jesus Christ. I wish all well and may the Lord be with you.

I really have no interest in secularists, even if they're conservative...referred to Zoe as "She"...

I get off work at 5 A.M. come home and see this. :)

Great talk : open, honest , thoughtful, respectful !! Both seem like good guys!

"There's an anthropological way of looking at it" means "There's an atheistic way of looking at it"...seems to know so little about Christianity, kinda like listening to Joe Rogan..." eating the flesh, drinking the blood"...sheesh...

I'm sorry but the doctor Drew has not a full understanding of Jesus's sacrifice in the sacrificial system that God put in place in the original World Before the Flood. He thinks we're all just crazy which is ridiculous the Mayans may have been crazy but we're all Sinners that's the problem we don't want to deal with is sin. And once you understand that Jesus had to come here and died because he was as John the Baptist put it . Behold the Lamb of God which is to be sacrificed for all.

Such an awesome thing to look forward to to start the week!

Ben... Love the show. I haven't missed an episode. Maybe you can prepare us each week by announcing who will be on next Sunday. Thanks for all you do.

I think Dr. Drew needs to stay away from religion. His attempts to compare Abraham and Jesus to barbaric human sacrifices completely undercuts whatever point he is trying to make.

Man I am loving these Sunday specials

Loving the Sunday Special!

Outstanding conversation. They should talk every week. I wasn’t a fan of what Dr. Drew’s conduct surrounding the Zoey Tur incident and his response on Adam’s show after, but he redeemed himself a lot in my eyes here. He is very smart and learned and can fluidly discuss an issue from multiple angles. He clearly isn’t a talking head and I respect him for that. I could have listened for another 2-3 hours easily.
