  • 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.

Inside Flight 1073: A Hero Who Fought Back
Q: I want you to tell me, Yaniv, in your own words, what happened on this flight?
Yaniv describes a rogue co-pilot attacking the pilot, the plane entering a dangerous dive, and Israelis in the cabin racing to intervene. He explains joining the effort to subdue the attacker, help the pilot, and eventually regain control of the aircraft, actions that likely saved many lives.
Neuroscientist: The Devices Schools Hand Out Are Backfiring | Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath
Q: What practical steps can families take to protect learning at home?
Prioritize sleep, avoid screens an hour before bed, encourage handwritten notes, reading aloud, and printing out assignments to reinforce memory through physical interaction with paper.
Neuroscientist: The Devices Schools Hand Out Are Backfiring | Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath
Q: What is the 'primary function' of the tools we use in classrooms, and how does it affect learning?
Tools carry a default usage narrative; when students use devices expecting to learn, they often default to surface-level engagement rather than the deeper processes needed for long-term memory and higher-order thinking.
Neuroscientist: The Devices Schools Hand Out Are Backfiring | Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath
Q: Is the rise of classroom technology contributing to a decline in deep learning, and why?
Yes. The guest argues that screens disrupt fundamental learning mechanisms, reduce deep processing by encouraging superficial recall, and erode the interpersonal interactions essential for memory and comprehension.
On The Hunt: How Child Sex Trafficking Really Happens
Q: How did Bree first enter into trafficking and how long did it last?
She describes being trafficked from age eight to seventeen across different groups, subjected to grooming, sexual abuse, and coercive control.
