Q&A

  • What is the trend in college applications that Adam and Dr. Drew discuss?

    College applications are shifting towards the South, with people increasingly choosing to attend universities in states like Florida and Texas.

  • What is Adam's observation about the prevalence of Nazi-related preoccupations among schizophrenic and psychotic patients?

    Adam believes that this preoccupation reflects a broader societal tendency towards delusion, suggesting that the constant references to Nazis in contemporary discourse are a symptom of a delusional thought process.

  • What are the inconsistencies in Kamala Harris's story about working at McDonald's?

    There is no evidence to support her claim, and the specific location she mentions no longer exists. Additionally, she has never provided a specific time period or details about her work experience.

  • Why does Adam believe that Kamala Harris's time spent in Canada has been omitted from mainstream media narratives?

    He suggests that the media is deliberately trying to maintain a specific narrative about her upbringing, which includes a "hard scrabble" background in Oakland. This narrative is contradicted by her attendance at a prestigious private school in Montreal.

  • What is Adam's critique of the "hard scrabble" narrative surrounding Kamala Harris's upbringing?

    He argues that her actual experiences, including attending a prep school in Montreal and having parents who were professors, do not align with the image of a working-class upbringing in Oakland. He believes that this narrative is being perpetuated to create a false sense of relatability.
