    I just listened to the episode with Dr Oz. This was an eye popping informational program on what is actually being done about the fraud.

  • Dr. Phil ❤️‍🩹 FANS! UNITE! King Midas has done it again! The podcast is GOLD!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The Dr. Phil podcast has become an intricate part of my life, in the same way the show did, for 21+ years of my life. I was

    literally grieving the loss of the show. Yes, I do know to watch reruns.

    It’s not the same.

    ❤️‍🩹 Having said that,

    Dr. Phil & Miss Robin McGuire DESERVE to RETIRE from the show, anyway!

    They’ll never retire from their endeavors of ❤️ the heart. The McGraws' charities, nonprofits, & philanthropic endeavors are truly absolutely astonishing! (Shout out to Miss Robin fo... more

  • Only 9 episodes in

    I’m only 9 episodes in, about to start the Charles Barkley episode and so far I have to admit that I’m enjoying this podcast. I love podcasts but I am picky with which ones I will listen to. I will continue to listen to this one. I do have to admit that after reading other reviews I am nervous. I am not a Trump supporter and some reviews suggest that this podcast eventually gets rather political and not likely to be things I’ll want to listen to. If that happens and I’m put off by the podcast th... more

    I used to love Dr Phill. He’s gotten more political and instead of talking about both sides he’s now switched to one sided. Very disappointing!!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Texas Children’s Hospital Opens Detransition Clinic: Whistleblower Speaks Out
Q: What sparked the initial investigation into the hospital's practices?
The whistleblower claimed that the hospital secretly continued gender-affirming treatments on minors after a public statement to stop, triggering regulatory scrutiny and a later healthcare-fraud settlement.
Is Social Media Destroying a Generation?
Q: What makes these platforms so addictive from a design perspective?
The platforms deploy intermittent variable rewards and slot-machine-like reinforcement that keeps users engaged by providing unpredictable rewards, which is highly effective and hard to disengage from, especially for teens and pre-teens.
By Accident or By Design? Big Tech's War on Your Children
Q: Why is there concern about the Kids Act and immunity for Big Tech?
The concern is that immunities would shield companies from accountability for exploitation and safety failures, potentially allowing harmful practices to continue with less consequence.
By Accident or By Design? Big Tech's War on Your Children
Q: What should parents do to protect children from platform harms?
Parents should actively talk with their kids, build trust, and push for safer platform designs and stronger accountability rather than depending on ineffective parental controls.
Dose of Reality
Q: How do the introduced solutions reduce burden and improve safety?
The devices provide passive temperature control and automated logging of injections, which helps maintain efficacy, reduces waste, saves time, and supports caregivers in coordinating with healthcare providers.
