He knows more than you do.
That's right!
"You realize that this Dr. Phil character is an Oprah invention, don't you? He's got a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from prestigious Michigan Technological University only miles from the Canadian border."
According to the Dr. Phil website:
"Dr. Phil has a B.S, M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from North Texas State University with a dual area of emphasis in clinical and behavioral medicine. He has been a board-certified and licensed clinical psychologist since 1978. "
He's not an Oprah invention. How do you suppose Oprah met Dr. Phil? When she hired him to help her court case when she was being sued by the beef industry. Dr. Phil's "day job" is running a very successful multi-million dollar business that coaches people on how to act and speak in court so that they don't lose. Dr. Phil was something long before Oprah met him. In fact, I think Oprah is a lot less flaky because of having met him.
