What a boring episode that was. Shill making his brother Jay like he's some hero. What a stupid bastard he is. It so easy walking through that nuthouse community of Colorado City, AZ. If Jay & Dr. Phil have any guts, they will spend a wk in Compton, California & see what REAL life is all about! And I don't mean the kind of crap that I see on his show on a daily basis.

I'm sure Jay's chin is that shape from kissing his father's ass.

I noticed, it's almost as hilarious as the BBJs untucked shirt discussion that's going on there.


Heeeee!!!! *falls off chair* OUCH!


edited because I can't s-p-e-l-l

Many thanks sarcastic chick and drummouse, excellent, excellent stuff!

Jay, meet Tom Cruise, and please, feel free to be the two biggest tools in the shed.

2 nights ago parsleysagemini and I were cleaning out her bookshelves when I realized that sometime in my recent past I had actually purchased for her BBJ's book "Life Strategies for Teens" in the misguided attempt to help her grow in areas of her life.

Come to think of it, her butt actually does appear bigger than before I bought the book, so it must have worked! $2.00 on half.com people, someone buy it and I will throw in a free autographed photo of Kitty's faux nanner pie!!

Wow, this is the first I have heard of this. Are they really keeping this on the hush-hush or what? Why has there never been any media backlash about this. I imagine that not everyone in the media likes Dr. Phil.

Oh and those 2 women fighting over the bald guy. Jeez he must be really great in the sack for his wife to continue to want him after all the affairs and the stuff with the other woman came out. I mean he just slept with this woman a scant 4-6 weeks ago.

Have some self respect, dump him.

Did Bubble Boy's show get canceled? The Home Improvement/Change Your Life one?

How could the wife on today's show not know that Greg was stoned all the time. Did you ever look at his eyes? Listen to him talk? Man, the guy was higher than a kite on the show. But thanks to $hill, La Hacienda will make him all better.

Could be like the wife who never knew her husband was a drunk until one night when he came home sober...LOL

I could not tell that he was on drugs. Thought he sounded coherent.

I read on the Shill message board an interesting comment. Message #45 says that hydrocodone use does not physically hurt the body. The writer goes on to say that it is the acetaminophen (tylenol?) mixed in with products such as Lortab and others that hurt a person's body. By taking that many pills a day, he is killing his liver. Shill never mentions that.

Some interesting Shill gossip here.

http://www.inkjetbluesjournal.com/archives/000101.html

The whole segment on John Goodman II not being "in love anymore" with that beautiful wife that he didn't even deserve 18 years ago was surreal. WTF? Go on Shill for that? The whole thing didnt make sense. Did he say something about how we would leave if he had a job--I must not have heard that right becuase they showed him driving to work in the AM, and she obviously is a stay-at-home. Anyone??

Thanks, mutya, for confirming what we already knew, that Dr. $hill has zero credibility.

Whether it was unintentional or not, having fraudulent guests makes the viewers question the validity of allthe shows. With the porn stars, sex addicts, and child molesters, Dr. $hill has turned into the Jerry Springer for the middle class.

I'm almost prepared to cut Phil some slack.

Anyone with the stones to repackage Slim Fast unchanged in soda cans as his own weight loss "solution" is almost square enough to be cool.

I don't know....my mom used to say " Just because your head comes to a point doesn't mean you're sharp."

Was yesterday's show a total rehash of past stuff? Because I quit after Shill was correcting one of his guests about the way things REALLY went down.

I had the recent pleasure of a business dinner where mr. pinhead's boss brought his wife....who went on and on thru the whole meal about Shill. ( For those of you familiar with the Atlanta area, think Dunwoody Housewife.) Like, reviewed the last two weeks' shows, all his sayings, etc. When she finally turned to me and asked " Don't you love him?", I (gulp) told her what I thought, filled in the rest of the table on his past, and generally disagreed. Imagine the tears in her eyes when EVERYONE ELSE at dinner agreed with me. Hee!

I told my husband that if he loved me (and liked his job) he'd never make me sit next to her at any event ever again.

I must confess that when I saw first hubby (the addict) I thought that his deep dark secret was being gay.

Anyone else's gaydar start pinging?

I had a SIL like that. Sadly, we never got the chance to drag her to Dr. Phil so he could shout at her. She was 3 years younger than I am now when she died. Still gives me chills.

Ping ping ping ping.

ring a ding ding over here too, especially in retrospect... Maybe he'll be on a down-low Oprah show next season!



I love this quote, can't wait to use it, but I gotta say, it could have been said by the great Shill himself (no offense intended!) Course he would have been attempting to slap someone into "reality" with it or just trying to humiliate someone who was questioning his genius.

They really edited the commercials in such a way that I though the same. The clip starts with him sitting there looking painfully guilty, and her sitting there like, "Oh it's just another day on the Dr. Phil Show." Then they cut to a close up of them holding hands and the announcer says something like, "You won't believe his secret life", and her hand recoils, then they zoom out to show the two of them and the shocked/disgusted look on her face. And I hate to say it, but we've been so conditioned that we are no longer shocked when a man admits an affair. Because of that, I figured his secret life was that he is gay. When I saw the show, the whole sequence of events on the commercial didn't even happen that way, as far as I could tell. Thank you, to the editing monkeys on Dr. Phil. Pffffttt.



I've got a couple of favorites that I like to use, too:

***Just because you have a lot of speeding tickets, it doesn't mean you're too swift.

***Just because your mom calls you Sonny (sounds like Sunny --- get it??), it doesn't mean that you're very bright.

Weird, I turned on Dr. Phil today (don't ask why) and I got an hour-long infomercial for his weight loss book. Must be some mistake. :)

My favorite:

"Being in school doesn't make you smart any more than being in a garage makes you a car."

Or maybe he knew, but he also knew that he wasn't suppose to know. It would make Kitty pout you know.

Wow. So it's official. They really were scamming him. Even though I found those two to be rather idiotic and detestable, I'm glad they pulled one over on him.

What was the point of having the mother/football daughter on? They drag out the great Harvard expert and Mary Lou Retton and the mother still bitches that she won't consider letting her daughter play football. I thought Mary Lou looked like she was going to pop Phil when he let the mother say that and didn't challenge her, and all of this following her impassioned speech about how talented the daughter was and how NO sport was SAFE.

I detest silly segments like that first one, should kids have jobs? Should parents give their kids money? And then these kids see how much worse off the kids of the addicted/abusive parents are?

Too much stuff, all over the place, and nothing completed. He should have just taken the day off.

On the twin topic: I'm really ticked at "innocent" twin, now I can't hate one more than the other. That is odd that no one knew their history, Oprah's probably got Phil on probation now.

I didn't think Dr. Phil would say it's ok for a girl to play football, since he is so "old-fashioned," to put it nicely, and I'm sure he just doesn't think it's proper, no matter how talented she is. So I wasn't really surprised when he tried to push her to another sport by trying to explain how boys get all big and muscley soon. Just let her play till she really can't keep up, jeez. If Mary Lou Retton thinks it's OK, it's OK with me.

And the Dr. Phil Phoundation sounds like a big load of crap to me. It's like, what he already does, just with a philanthropic name. Brind sad sacks on the show, exploit their story for his ratings, and then give them some stuff to make everyone tear up. Now he can just give them BIGGER things. Is he really doing anything to address systemic poverty, or drug abuse or anything? No, he is just congratulating people who have already managed to overcome horrible circumstances, which is nice, but I think he could be doing a whole lot more to help young people as a whole.

Yeah he was absolutely no help to the football playing girl. I would've loved to play football with the boys in a league growing up and the mom pissed me off by totally writing her off.

I was totally thinking the same thing as meisja, anybody can get hurt doing any sport and nothing is for sure. Shut up, Phil.

Could he have mentioned the 'newly lauched Dr. Phil Foundation' any more times? I was wondering if it was a new drinking game, for God's sake.

Drove me to drink, that's for sure.
Yesterday it was his book, today it's his "foundation", tune in tomorrow to hear all about Dr. Phil's new steakhouse chain.
Kidding....but I could see it.

Dr. Phil's House of Choice Cuts and Country Witticisms? Yeah, I could see that. Maybe Jorthro will get that CEO position, since BBJay has his hands full with fondling model boobage and helping Dad chase polygamists further into the hills.

Speaking of, the very thought that Phil used his son as a canary in the heavily-armed polyg country smacks of something decidedly sinister or completely dimwitted about Phil. Even with bodyguards, this wasn't the right choice, using BBJay as a sort of young, puffy-pocketed Leo Ryan. Phil has already shown reckless contempt for most of his guests and all women, but Jay is his son, his boy, his prince, his issue, his progeny, his heir,his eye-apple, his chip, his seed.

As far as today's show, Phil seems to be slipping all over the ice. Telling people not to take advice from TV shows? Say what now? Saying that abnormal behavior is not for anyone--including the mental health professionals--to judge? And of course, not pointing out that a calm, intellectualizing man who berates his wife and uses physical force to overpower her is what is prudently called a "Bundy Bomb."

Those twin Lovelaces done spooked Phil into incoherence. Bully for them.

At least it can provide more employment opportunities, not to mention salaries, to $hill's family members. I'd bet that BBJ, Jorthro, Kitty, and that psychologist from Texas that $hill's in cahoots with will all collect fat fees as board members - at the very least. And $hill may collect more bucks as the foundation's director or something too.

Agreed. And the mom needed some sense slapped into her, as well. The girl is just starting middle school, and her mother wants to treat her love of athletics as a potential cash cow. She didn't want her to get hurt playing football, not because, it would kill me to see her in pain, or it would be such a challenge if she were permanently disabled, but because she doesn't want her daughter to mess up her chances of cashing in on the athletic scholarship jackpot. Mom should support her daughter in football and whatever other sport she wants to try (perhaps drawing the line at running with the bulls at Pamplona or something) and start making serious contributions to her daughter's college fund. Athletics should be for fun and for health, not a substitute method of saving for college.

Soocer? That sounds like a fun sport!

I'm sorry, I'm only teasing because my typos are never so cute.

What the frick was up with couple #1 today? Did I miss something or was a big part of the problem that the husband didn't love the wife and was verbally/emotionally abusive? Even though the husband seemed like a prick, I found myself admiring his ability to handle Phil. But, seriously, did I miss something, because I don't recall those issues being addressed, just the usual "Dads are role models to their sons" "Socialize your kids" and "Quit holdin' em down." That mother looked like she was about a week away from a prescription for Prozac and Xanax.

I thought about this. My dad didn't even let my BROTHER play football. Too dangerous and stupid, he said. Blah blah fewer people are paralyzed doing karate or boxing, blah blah waste of time.

And there's a certain logic to this. Either it's too dangerous for your kid, regardless of gender, or it's not. But what's the real difference between a middle-school girl and a middle-school boy except socialization and the fact that the girl is probably taller?

Can anyone tell me why the "No, no, Dr. is my first name" has a talk show and Daisy Duke doesn't? Seriously though, I agree with you completely.

Finally got to see "BBJ Meets the Polygamists" last night. Was glad to see that the 2 Fawns (FawnSquared?) have opened up and aren't saying "Yessir" to every man who walks by.

Just by observation, I guess there aren't many women's hair salons and clothing boutiques in Colorado City.

Wonder why Shill didn't mention that 9 out of 10 of those women and children are on welfare--yes we pay for all their kids.

Every time Warren Jeffs liver-lipped photo came on screen, parsleysagemini said "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww." And she IS a 15 year old girl--just his type.

Okay, anyone who thinks that the Foundation is anything other than a tax write-off for the millions is an idiot.

I think Phil has two motivations in life: to be wealthy beyond Oprah (an impossibility) and to feed his massive ego so that it might swell to elephantine proportions that can easily eclipse Jay's twin Buttes (again, impossibility). The last time he helped a person "cure" was when he assisted Granpappy McGraw in the smoke house as he hung hams.

The polygs not only get mondo social services dollars, they also keep their houses in an unfinished (on going build) condition to get out of paying property taxes. They're a wiley bunch, and need scrutiny, but I think they skeered our Phil. Having read "Keep Sweet" I understand that the polyg communities are twelve alarm fires that no one from the outside will dare venture close to. Will it burn out? Not while there are little girls being raised for the breeding harnass.

Nice fumble, Phil. You too, Junior.

This made my day, KettlePorn! As did your screen name. Bwah!

God, I am soooo sick of Dr Phil getting up on his blowhard soapbox and blustering about how he's going to "be a voice for those kids" or "take a stand for those kids" or "protect those kids from this or that or the other thing". I have yet to see Dr Phil do jack squat for kids other than perhaps belittle and demeen their parents on national tv. Perhaps these kids would be better off not having their screwed up families exploited on tv for the benefit of Dr Phil's ratings.

Let me say this: I love children, I was a foster parent for a few years and I am still heavily involved in some child-friendly causes. But even I would be humiliated to crow on and on about how I "stand for kids" the way Dr Phil does. And I've actually done a few kids some good as opposed to his Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Hypocritland.

I had that problem in karate when I was in elementary/middle-school. The senseis were a great bunch of guys, but they had SO many issues with making sure the little girls didn't get hurt - and I just wanted to kick somebody's ass! And honestly I was built like a bowling ball and less fragile than some of the boys.

I bet Phil would support that. No self-reliance or ass-kicking for you, Missy, and go bake me a pie!

That's faux nanner pie, girl!

On that note, isn't it endearing how often he calls women on his stage 'girl' but I haven't noted him calling many of the men 'boy'. Interesting, that. And by interesting of course I mean, fuck you King Lord God Dr Phil.

All of the custody parents today, can fuck right off. They were all noxious but the dad who lived five miles from his parents who were raising his son? Needs a lobotomy, vasectomy and a muzzle. Then? The boy may stand a chance.

Yes! That is my biggest pet peeve, when people refer to someone as "the girl at the front desk" but wouldn't say "the boy at the front desk."
Someone needs to call Phil a boy and see how he reacts.

The whole Bobbleheaded-wife sitting in the audience thing feeds into this as well.
Can't she work? I bet according to Phil her job should be to sit there and be arm candy for him.

Haven't seen any posts from Gemmadoll for a long time. Kettleporn your writing style reminds me of Gemmadoll's. Is there a connection here?

I was thinking the same thing, MyraA!! Me thinks gemmadoll has gone unda-ground on us!

I want to live next door to Casey and Shari, please. All the "f"'s and "b"'s and nameofthelords would sure break up the tedium of this stucco jungle. I'll bet too that the two names this pair called one another are really not that coarse for the FCC. I think he called her "Robin" and she called him "Phil."

I'm glad I have this particular episode taped, because I want to review it closely and count all of the times Phil belittled the women, mocked their feelings, deadpanned to the audience as they tried to explain themselves, and chastised them for using words so inflammatory that they might as well just gnaw off their husband's wrinkle-sack with their back teeth.

Men are simply DESTROYED by being called disgusting, degrading names? Wow. Good thing women aren't that weak, since we've been verbally abused thusly since oh maybe the time of the first spoken language.

Phil? Women GOOD. Women needed to create life. Women HUMAN BEINGS. Seriously. Would I kid royalty? I salute your wrinkle-sack, Sir.

ETA: Thanks for the compliment. I'm ecs-phatic!

I just returned from spending two weeks in Sweden, where, I'm sad to report, "The Dr. Phil Show" is extremely popular and airs daily. His books have also been translated into Swedish, including, of course, "The Dr. Phil Cookbook." I couldn't resist flipping to the dessert section and can report that neither faux nanner pie nor the faux grasshopper pie made the cut.

Skimming through the last couple weeks' worth of posts, I was delighted to find out that ol' Phil was fooled by a couple of porno twins! I thought there was something "off" about that "My Twin Sister Wants Me To Become a Hooker" segment. Too bad that particular nugget hasn't made more of a splash in the MSM...

**NEWSFLASH** The Globe tabloid will be running a story about the Porn twins visit to the Shill show and the show's coverup. It will be on the newsstands by today or tomorrow.
