    Ugh.

    Not just this episode, but every episode. He seems burned out, but the show fuels his "empire," so he keeps going. He's impatient and mean, bullying his guests until they admit he is right on every point. He trots out his staff to gang up on his guests to be sure they can't dispute anything with him. The guests have to endure his loud, aggressive insults-- "You're nothing but a drunk, admit it"--so he'll pay for some therapy, often provided by Doctors on Demand, so the McGraws can pocket more $ off of these poor people. The latest charlatan Phil promotes is "Dr. Amen," whose brain cans look like something a ten year old created on his computer. Amen is widely viewed as a fraud by the medical community, but legitimacy manes nothing to old Phil if he can make money. He must be getting a kickback. Good luck with your "close relationship with Jesus Christ," Phil. You'll need it.
