Dr. Phil McGraw is an author, psychologist, and the host of the television show "Dr. Phil."

27 minutes in, YES. When I was going through my divorce and felt like a rat in a maze where every exit was guarded by thugs who were going to kneecap me, I went to the doctor. He looked at me and sent me for cancer tests because I'd lost so much weight so fast, but he said he wouldn't prescribe me any zoloft or prozac. If it was depression, it was situational, not clinical. I did get a doctor's note from him to take medical leave from work. 6 weeks later, things were resolved enough that I could take my life back. If I'd been given some kind of emotional pain muffler, I might never have done what it took to get through it.

This completely changed my opinion of doctor Phil. I didn't watch his show and thought he was just another talk show host. But he is actually very wise and intellectual. Great podcast.

When I was younger I thought that dr. Phill was a joke, now that I’ve taken the time to listen to a few different interviews of him I enjoy what he has to say and learn quite a bit! This was by far the best interview I’ve heard I feel like he showed a more realistic & relaxed side of himself.

The people who trash Dr Phil don't watch his show. I've watched his show for years & he & his team actually help people. They've spent over $40 mln over the years for guests to get top-notch professional help after the taping ends.

People have always been so quick to dismiss Dr. Phil because of the stories on his TV show. Glad more people realizing that he's actually a reasonable, smart guy. Thanks for having him on, Joe! 

I gained a lot of respect for Dr. Phil after listening to this podcast. Never gave his show a chance as I didn't think I would resonate with him, but damn, this podcast changed my mind. On a side note, didn't Joe make fun of Dr.Phil at one point? I have this vivid memory of a bit where he is making fun of Dr.Phil and his tie, could be someone else. Anyways, good stuff.
