Dr. Phil Gets Interviewed by a Mental Patient | “YOUR WELCOME” #436

Oct 7, 2026 · 1h 06m

Dr. Phil interviews everyone. Today, Michael Malice interviews Dr. Phil. Michael Malice (“ YOUR WELCOME ”) sits down with Dr. Phil to talk about what may be happening to an entire generation of kids online. Dr. Phil argues that social media platforms are engineered to be addictive, that their algorithms constantly learn what keeps children engaged, and that recent safety measures are mostly “checking the boxes” instead of fixing the underlying problem. They get into predators, self-harm, AI companions, random reinforcement, collapsing social skills due to “social” media, and why America may be moving far too slowly to protect kids online. Then Michael turns the tables on the guy who built a career getting inside everyone else’s head. What was Dr. Phil like as a kid? Does he ever get tired of being expected to turn on “Dr. Phil mode”? And how is his relationship with Oprah now that they appear to be on opposite sides of politics? It’s part serious warning, part bizarre therapy session, and part conversation you probably won’t hear anywhere else.
