Aaron Bushnell. Max Azzarello. Atlanta 2023. What’s causing the recent uptick in self-immolation incidents – and is it a sign of a dire mental health crisis beginning to break after a years-long barrage of media panic? Dr. Drew analyzes the alarming trend of protesters setting themselves on fire and the mental health effects of viewing horrifying content.

Salty Cracker is one of the biggest creators on Rumble. Though he’s appeared on this program before, the producers of this show still cannot locate a legitimate biography for Salty, so we will simply describe him by using his self-written disclaimer, which reads: “Warning: These are the opinions and ramblings of a lunatic. They are for entertainment purposes only and are probably wrong. You listen at your own risk.”
