  • 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.

Teenage Brides and a Polygamous Prophet: A Rescued Teen Returns
Q: What was it like for you to walk on that stage 21 years ago?
It was terrifying, but the drive to build a life on her terms outweighed the fear, and that courage helped set the course for leaving and rebuilding.
David Grusch: The Whistleblower Who Told Congress We're Not Alone
Q: What prompted you to come forward about these materials and programs?
Grusch explains the ethical obligation to inform the public when classified information related to potentially transformative technologies and safety concerns was being withheld, alongside personal sacrifices he made for transparency.
Silence From the Cockpit: An Airline Pilot's UAP Confession
Q: Do you think pilots would face retaliation if they spoke up about UAP sightings?
Yes, there is a strong fear of retaliation, including potential termination or career impacts, which contributes to a culture where pilots stay silent despite seeing unexplained phenomena.
Silence From the Cockpit: An Airline Pilot's UAP Confession
Q: Are there any avenues for pilots to be able to report what they're seeing anonymously?
There are NASA safety reports (and similar channels) that allow pilots to report errors and learn from them, but Kurt argues these are not ideal for UAP-specific reporting and de-identification would need to be expanded into a dedicated UAP system.
Border Czar Tom Homan: Setting the Record Straight
Q: How do you respond to threats against ICE officers and the dangers they face?
He says threats have surged and that body cameras and accountability measures are essential; he emphasizes prioritizing the worst threats first and describes how cameras help protect both officers and the public, while acknowledging the risks officers face daily.
