Our youngest guest to-date, Aliya Kasabian recounts her chilling involuntary initiation into the Boise Girls Academy, an institution that masquerades as a haven for troubled teens. From controlling communication with families to enforced silence and the denial of basic necessities like tampons, Aliya's story exposes the depths of manipulation and coercion wielded by the program's directors. But resistance only extends your time at this prison-like "healing facility." So, eventually, Aliya discovers that if she is ever to be free, the only way out is to become... a true believer.

Adam and Dr. Drew open the show discussing the fallout from last week?s controversy surrounding Rosanne Barr and her ABC show getting cancelled. This leads to a wider conversation on self sabotage and what people do to themselves that inevitably leads to them losing their job. The guys then turn to the phones and speak to a caller who has suffered severe head trauma and is worried about the long term ramifications.

Adam and Dr. Drew dive into government overreach and entitlement, arguing that not funding something isn?t the same as denying access. They critique the shift toward a culture of dependency and the hypocrisy of those who once opposed paternalistic governance now enforcing it. Drew highlights how excessive regulation and misguided policies have eroded personal responsibility.
The conversation turns to political hypocrisy, with Adam questioning AOC?s claims of systemic oppression despite her privileged education. They discuss the rise of "process people" who prioritize endless debate over real solutions, tying it to governance failures in cities like L.A. Adam shares a personal story about his coworker Jeff Gaines, who trained to be a firefighter but was denied due to race-based hiring, underscoring how misguided policies create more division than progress.

In this episode of The Adam & Dr. Drew Show, Adam recalls a decades-old debate about the rainbow-colored emblem on West Hollywood Sheriff?s cars and the broader implications of identity-based representation in law enforcement. The duo delves into the increasing politicization of public symbols, the unintended consequences of representation politics, and the shifting cultural landscape over the past few decades. Dr. Drew offers his insight on mass formation and how societal shifts are often driven by reactionary forces. From no-cruising signs in Silver Lake to the ideological divide between past and present political movements, Adam and Drew break it all down.
