Cool I thought this was really cool dude for real tho I liked it about could watch it over and over

Apr 6, 2020

Before the internet and social media, shows like Dr. Phil were the only way for people to publicly air every aspect of their private lives to the public. As they often do, this show dresses itself up in such as way that the producers can pretend they're trying to help their 'guests', but this is the modern equivalent of the circus freak show for everyone to gasp and laugh at.
