Summary
In this episode of Long Winded with Gabby Windey, the host covers Grammy reactions and pop culture commentary before diving into stories about inappropriate behavior by chiropractors and other practitioners. The "chiropractic pervert" title refers to a segment exploring cases of practitioners who crossed professional boundaries with patients. The episode is primarily an entertainment and pop culture podcast rather than a health-focused discussion. The chiropractic content focuses on disturbing cases of professional misconduct rather than the therapeutic merits of the practice.

The episode serves more as a cautionary tale about vetting healthcare providers and recognizing red flags than as an exploration of chiropractic as a health intervention.
