I had no idea that Mr. Mangan looked like Dr. Drew.
Who is Dr. Drew?
I thought for sure that dude would have fangs. I guess you can’t judge a cover by it’s book.
Generation gap! Dr. Drew Pinsky is an internist and addiction medicine specialist who has gained popularity for his participation on the radio and TV versions of a show called “Loveline,” which normally involves teens and 20-somethings calling in to discuss various sexual problems.
Dr. Drew was paired up with comedian Adam Carolla; you can guess which of the two played the straight man and which actually offered substantive sex advice. Carolla would sometimes ruthlessly mock the callers, but from what I remember, the callers tended to be very good sports about the abuse.
I learned a lot of stuff I never really wanted to know about things like penile and clitoral piercings from listening, on occasion, to the radio show some years back (usually while driving at night). I also heard many disheartening calls from people — usually women — who were suffering the aftereffects of rape or abusive relationships. 90% of Dr. Drew’s advice to all callers could be boiled down to this: “Go see a professional now.”
A quick peek at Wikipedia shows that Adam Carolla left the show, but Dr. Drew is still around, and still dispensing advice. Do a Google Images search on Dr. Drew, and you’ll see the resemblance with Mr. Mangan. Better yet, compare Mr. Mangan’s photo with this one of Dr. Drew. Uncanny.
