I’m thrilled to be sitting down with one of my absolute favorites, the brilliant Doctor Drew Pinsky. Before we jump headfirst into the cases, we’re unpacking the shocking headline that absolutely shook me this week, the unexpected split of comedy podcast powerhouses Tom Segura and Christina P. after 18 years of marriage.
