Obviously inane daytime talk shows are extremely profitable. He’s worth over $400 million. In his shoes I would have retired long ago.

I have to admit to watching youtube vids of Dr. Phil and found them rather interesting. I think he is a very ‘likeable’ man and the humble bit works on me. I do know he is what he is and it is all about the $$$$. He seems really driven by money. Guess everybody has got some flaw. Probably from growing up poor, although greed is not a thing that afflicts most decent people who grew up with little.

The last couple interviews I saw of him he seemed stoned out of his mind.

He sabotaged Lila Rose a few months back. It was unconscionable.
