493: Dirty Rotten Scandals: The Dr. Phil Show

OKAY, FAM - FROM THIS MOMENT ON HE'S KNOWN AS "PHIL" AND "PHIL" ONLY!!!! He may have presented as folksy and wise uncle, but dark shadows haunted the "Dr." Phil Show behind the avuncular front (that's my drag name!). Manipulate desperate families? Check! Slut-shame naive teenagers? Check! Run cover for a sketchy chain of rehab centers that do more harm to their residents than help? Check, check, check!
