I strongly encourage them to talk with friends or family and not worry the guys but why would anyone want to go public with their problems?
I do like Dr. Laura, but I agree with you here.
If you’re going to go air your laundry on public radio (or TV in the case of Dr. Phil) you’ve got to have some expectation of getting put on the spot, in maybe not the nicest way.
I also really don’t understand those who would call in like that, but I enjoy listening to the show (though indeed, her voice gets to me after a while).
