He's not a doctor, they took that away.
Also, I think I hear the world's smallest violin playing a mournful tune just for him.

They took that away because he fucked a teenage patient. College kid came to him for depression, he gave her a job and had sex with her.
They were going to supervise his practice and let him keep his license, but he gave it up rather than submit to supervision.
There are a couple of stories of addicts on his show being offered drugs before they went on to make them relapse/seem worse. The show was basically an exploitation of people desperate enough to take public humiliation in exchange for mental health “help.”
I think he’s in part responsible for a lot of terrible attitudes about mental health - a popular understanding that “tough love” is a helpful approach, a refusal to acknowledge the impact of trauma… A general problem with America seems to be viewing TV show personalities as “experts.”
Here it is
That is a cello
That's a tardigrade
I think we have to call them regardigrades now.
My brain first read that as "retardigrades" and now I feel like I'm going to hell
Then you got the joke 😝

That's massive.
Good gawd, no wonder the native Hawaiians are angry
Hiding in her plantation in Hawaii next to Zuckerberg. She didn't become a billionaire by being a good person.
In her 70s, retired lol.
I suppose.. it's just that's it's quite rare for these rich old folks to just quietly fuck off and enjoy their money.
I'm sure she's funding/doing some nefarious things. Doing so is like a cover fee for the billionaire club.
Wasn't she shilling foreskin face cream, or has she moved on from that?
She never will.
She's probably on the list.
Aw! I love this for him! Way to go, Dr. Phil! I'm rooting for your complete collapse and fall into obscurity.
