(upbeat music)
So our first guest is one of the smartest people I know.
I just adore him so much.
He's been here so many times.
I can listen to him on his radio show
and so can you.
It's called, Dr. Drew Midday Live.
As well as his Dr. Drew podcast.
Please give it up for my friend,
Dr. Drew Pinsky.
(crowd cheering)
Look at that smile.
Hey Doc.
(mumbles) How are you? I miss you.
Good to see ya.
Thank you for coming.
Are you kidding?
Dr. Drew.
(Audience cheering)
Dr. Drew,
first I want to give you some Dr. Drew shoecam.
If you just put your feet on those feet.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
That's all you do, Dr. Drew.
Those are okay.
Yes,
very stylish.
Good thing I wore these.
Nothing wrong with wingtip.
Oh and striped socks.
Yeah.
Oh, sock-cam! (laughs)
You have a sense of humor.
How's your family?
They're great!
My daughter is actually right over there.
One of the triplets?
Hi!
Dr. Drew has triplets.
Two sons
and a daughter.
Yeah.
So, are they--
I know, God bless me,
right?
I earned the gray hair all in one year.
One and done.
Yeah, one and done.
So you turned sixty last month?
Isn't that insane?
(Audience cheers)
No.
That is insane Wendy,
it is nuts.
You feel like,
where did the time go?
Where did the time go?
I made it,
and how much longer do I got?
Oh my gosh!
It's really a nutty thing.
How'd you celebrate?
My wife put on a birthday party.
She came to me and she said,
we're going to have a party.
I go no let's just go to dinner. You're having a party.
Not only are we having a party
but all your friends are going to come
and they're gonna roast you.
So, I have lots of comedian friends
and I thought,
alright I'll you tell you what.
Featuring Joel McHale.
Joel McHale was one of them.
Bob Saget,
Jim Jeffries as well.
There they are.
I thought wow,
okay let's make it a podcast
and then I'll feel like I'm doing something.
So we made it a podcast
and Carolla hosted it with me.
Remember Adam Carolla?
He used to be on Loveline with forever and ever.
There they are,
there we are.
Somebody roasted you?
How do you roast Dr. Drew?
Well that's what the problem was!
Saget came up there
and is like I only have good things to say about you.
I'm like dude,
say something.
Lonnie Love nailed me,
Heather McDonald nailed me.
There was a number of people that unleashed.
That was fun.
(Audience clapping)
All right.
Yeah.
Let's get down to the business at hand.
Hot topics.
Dr. Drew.
Ariana Grande,
Pete Davidson,
they broke up.
People are concerned for Ariana,
but no one's thinking about Pete.
You say who?
I say Pete.
By the way the pig too,
right?
There's a pig they had.
You gotta remember that.
Piggly Wiggly or something?
They did buy a pig.
Yeah they bought a pig. I think Ariana's got the pig.
Pete has talked about his substance use,
he's talked about history of depression.
Depression has about 50,
60% probability of recurring.
Add a stress like this.
By the way,
it seemed like he was making plans for his entire life.
He very publicly...
Doctor they met in April, They got engaged in May.
I heard him on Stern going on about
the next thirty years,
in his mind,
how it was gonna go,
and then to have that completely shattered,
he has got to be depressed.
He's got to be using substances to manage that,
and he can get into real trouble.
I'm concerned about the guy,
I hope he does okay.
Right?
No?
Well I hope he is okay
but I never bought into it that he was that into her.
I was thinking that he was just trying to elevate
his hotness in Hollywood.
So when he dumps her.
Well.
Then can move on to the next starlet.
That is very sad.
This is a sad place,
welcome to the show.
(laughs) Hollywood's a sad place,
but this is a happy place.
Yeah, right?
I think he was really into her,
I really do.
I think in his mind,
he was thinking,
this is as good as it gets for me.
Where am I going from here?
That literally is true.
Now he's got to sort of reassess
how his life is gonna go from there.
But she was only broken up with Mac Miller.
I know but he died.
Well he died.
Yes,
I mean it's terrible.
He died in September,
last month.
Yeah.
I made a mistake the other day.
He died in September but they were already broken up.
She monkey bars from relationship to the next.
Right.
She's sort of what you call,
one way of conceiving that,
is love addiction.
Right?
Where you can't be alone,
you have to be involved in a relationship.
They're very intense relationships
that develop all of a sudden out of nowhere.
That's her.
That's not unusual for millennials these days.
We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time.
Where particularly the males would get into this pattern
where they would call and go,
well I met this girl,
she's the love of my life
and she wasn't so into dating me back then,
but I became her friend
and I've been washing her car
and cleaning her carpets for the last three years
and then they would go,
"And now it's time".
I go, it's time for what?
It's time for her to be my girlfriend.
It's time for her to step up.
I'm like dude,
you've been stalking this girl for three years.
That is stalking behavior,
that is what that is,
and that's because, Wendy,
because of social media,
pornography,
and even the fear that men have of being seen.
Tell us that age group of millennials,
just so that I'm sure I'm not a part.
(laughs) You're not.
Go ahead.
You just missed it.
It moves around.
It's a moving target.
We're really talking (sighs)
25 to 32 right now,
sorta that 23 to 32...
Stop being so addicted to love.
Love yourself.
The problem is you're right.
The problem is,
a lot of them weren't experiencing the normal milestones
of having relationships
and breaking up that normally happens during adolescence.
Because of social media
and men were hiding out with pornography and things.
So when they do get to a relationship
in their young adulthood,
they stick.
Yeah.
It's sort of an all in experience rather than
usual sort of navigation.
So you saw Kanye with his rant.
I did.
Well, take a look to remind you.
Take a look.
When someone tries to tell me what to do,
tries to tell me what I can wear,
I feel like they're touching my brain.
Social media told you that people didn't like me,
but everybody loves me.
Everybody loves Ye.
I am the best living recording artist.
We rather,
because the spirits flow through me.
I am that crazy.
I can ramp up if I suffer from sleep deprivation.
I'm about to get some sleep.
(Dr. Drew groaning)
Okay.
Dr. Drew.
I love me some Ye,
don't get me wrong.
(Audience laughing)
I'm glad that you're here,
because you're gonna say what I feel
but you'll say it in a doctor way.
Okay.
Well,
he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Which is manic depression.
One of the features of that is not sleeping,
having tangential thoughts,
and a lot of energy.
So that not sleeping is a part of hypomanic state typically.
I had heard that his mom
used to manage his medications for him,
'cause she was very concerned about this.
Oh!
He has stopped his medicine since she passed away.
Now he's denying.
Whenever somebody with a diagnosis of bipolar
denies their illness
or refuses to comply with their medication,
it tends not to go very well.
He can be easily managed
and be great,
but this could go different places.
He has Kim.
He has Kim, but you know you can only do,
no listen.
It's funny but it's not.
You can only do so much as a spouse, right?
She can go with him to the treatments.
We're going to the doctor together,
we're gonna listen to the same thing
and hear what they have to say.
But ultimately,
to get somebody to comply with a psychiatric plan,
you kind of need a show of force,
you need everybody in the family saying the same thing,
and I'm not sure how.
Hold on, hold on. I'm not sure how easy that is to do.
Yes Dr. Drew!
Stun them.
I'm not sure how easy
that is to do with the Kardashian clan.
To get everybody to say the same thing at the same time
and to hold the line,
and help him.
But he could be great.
He could be just great.
This is common condition,
he shouldn't be shamed for it.
He shouldn't feel bad about having the diagnosis,
it's such a common thing.
He shouldn't be let out of the house Dr. Drew.
Well. (laughs)
In a hypomanic state.
Just saying.
Just saying.
Dr. Drew.
I love me some Ye, I do.
So do we all.
I know it's sad.
These are all sad stories today,
you're right.
Well that's why you're here, Dr. Drew.
To try to fix it. (Audience clapping)
You're going to help us.
By the way, speaking of helping,
thank you for your organization.
I can't wait to get behind it
and help you with all that.
Thank you.
You know that's my thing,
I've been doing it for thirty years.
Thank you, Dr. Drew.
Thank you.
So Selena Gomez was hospitalized
after she had an emotional breakdown.
We know she's gone through a lot.
She's got the kidney that was transplanted.
Right.
She's got the lupus.
Yes.
She's got love in her heart
and in her head,
and her family is real concerned about her.
Again another situation I'm deeply concerned about.
She has what's called Systemic Lupus Erythematosus,
which is a disease that is an inflammatory disease
where your body attacks your own system.
It destroyed her kidneys.
Because of what's called a glomerulonephritis.
As a result she had to have a kidney transplant.
The thing about lupus is it attacks young women,
it is very dangerous.
The medications themselves,
the anti-immune medication can make people depressed.
The lupus can make people depressed.
Lupus can be complicated by vasculitis
which can affect their neurological status
and be associated with mood disturbances.
So she's at high,
high risk for medically related,
severe mood disturbances.
Plus she has the severe chronic medical,
psychological problem of having a chronic medical illness.
It's really serious stuff.
Justin Bieber.
Even though he's married now to Hailey Baldwin,
but he's been trying to reach out to her
and get at her,
and calling her mother saying,
look I wanna see Selena.
What do you think?
Apologies to all the Beliebers.
When I'm looking for support for a patient,
Justin Bieber does not jump into my head.
You know what I'm saying?
Although these are two human beings that had a relationship.
We know them as stars but they're just--
He's married Dr. Drew!
I understand,
but they were important people to each other
and if he wants to be supportive--
Ew!
Ew.
I get you don't sign off on it,
I get it.
No Dr. Drew!
Do you keep in touch with your exes
before you got married?
No, I'm not.
Exactly.
I'm with you.
I'm in the Wendy camp.
I'm just saying,
as one human,
another human,
he wants to be supportive.
I love when you come here.
Unfortunately we're now out of time.
I know.
Give it up everybody.
