- (Max) You just got Phil'd. - I've now become a verb, I guess.
I'm telling you, these kids are smart.
Where do you find these kids?
♪ (playful intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we are gonna show you clips from Dr. Phil.
- (Max) Ooh, Dr. Phil. I've seen clips of the show,
Mostly Dr. Phil fails, when people are really crazy
and then Dr. Phil roasts them. - (FBE) Have you ever watched it?
- (Julia) No. (chuckles) No, I have not.
- What do you mean you don't watch? Come on.
- (Sydney) The crazy people that go on there...
The people that come on there are just the biggest memes
of the world. - Look, nobody ever stops by
to tell me how well things are going, all right?
So naturally, these people have problems.
- (woman) Nicolette is beyond entitled.
- (Nicolette) I have these two Chanel wallets.
- (woman) At a very young age, Nicolette had her own credit cards
with absolutely no credit limit. Some months, her credit card bills
would be 10,000. - (Katrina) Then why did
the mom give her the credit card?
- I spent about three days preparing for that show.
She got to the bottom line in like four seconds!
Does she want a job? - (woman) I have given her
about $100,000. I don't even keep track anymore.
- (Max) What?! - (Jordyn) Mm-mm. Mm-mm. No.
- Okay, wait a minute. Wait a minute. (chuckles)
That's a great reaction. I'd love to have these kids
sitting next to me on stage just reacting as it actually happens.
That would be great. - (Nicolette) I think my mom
should be giving me at least 2,500 a month
just to cover my basic expenses. I need my money...
- (Noelle) Wow, she's really a brat. - (laughs)
They just go right to it.
There's no filter on these kids, right?
I got to start taking notes from these kids.
- (Max) What is wrong with this kid? - (Lucas) Maybe the mom just
doesn't pay attention to her, and the girl just wants
more attention. - Well, now there's a theory.
Maybe the mom doesn't pay attention to her, so she just wants attention.
She's trying to buy it, I guess, is his theory.
That's pretty insightful actually. - (Nicolette) I make her life
a living hell. I have my ways.
- (Katrina) That's evil. - (Noelle) She's a miss sassy pants.
Why doesn't she just ground her? - Okay, "miss sassy pants"?
That's my favorite so far. - (FBE) What would be your advice
for this girl and for her mom?
- (Katrina) Just say no. Either give her less money
for her allowance or don't give her money at all.
- (Lucas) ♪ You're a spoiled brat ♪ ♪ And you should get a job ♪
- (Ethan) Stop giving her money. And she should get her own money
from her own jobs. - Yeah, I mean, come on.
These are bright kids really. Just stop giving her money.
What did I say to her on the show? I don't remember, but I bet you
it was pretty damn close to what they're saying.
- (Dr. Phil) When someone feels like they have to have all
of these things, then they don't have much self-worth.
- (Nicolette) Well, my mom made me feel that way.
- (Katrina) I mean, he's speaking the truth.
- (chuckling) She's... I love that reaction.
It's like, "How obvious can you get, Dr. Phil?"
She's condescending to me. She's like, "Uh, okay.
You're telling the truth. Get to something we don't know."
- (Dr. Phil) Parents have the opportunity
to reparent their child.
- (Sydney) How do you reparent? Do you just time travel?
- Yeah, sort of actually. That's a good question.
You do kind of time travel, right? You have to go back to square one
and start all over again. That's a question I should have
answered at the time that it happened.
- (Dr. Phil) I think she needs to get a job where she works
and observes herself doing the things that she's capable
of doing. - (Ethan) Get your own job!
Earn your own money! - (laughs)
I'm telling you. These kids are smart.
I would love for them to talk to her. She didn't listen to me.
I would love for her to talk to these kids.
They wouldn't take any of her crap.
- (Dr. Phil) That's why you need an education...
- (Max) Ohh. - (Dr. Phil) ...so you don't have
to work for minimum wage. - (Max) Oh! You just got Phil'd.
- I've now become a verb, I guess. "You just got Phil'd."
Now, that kid, I like him. He should be on my marketing team.
- (Gabe) I mean, it's good advice. But I feel like the daughter's somehow
gonna drag her mom out of that and then just keep having her
give her money. - He's actually very prophetic there,
because I think that's exactly what happened.
They don't know, but after the show,
the mother didn't listen to me at all. She just continued giving her money,
and I think is still giving her money to today.
That little boy is a fortune teller right there.
- (Destoni) And then, there's a big situation.
- (Lucas) "And then there's a big situation!"
Jesus Christ. You're so annoying.
- (laughs) - (Julia) My mom would be like,
"Hey, why are you cussing, Jules? You are..."
- This kid is like the bubble over my head.
Okay, if you could read the bubble over my head,
that kid would be sitting in it, saying what I'm thinking.
- (Dr. Phil) Do you acknowledge that your mother is the head
of this family? - (Destoni) No.
- (Katrina) She doesn't have any respect for other people,
so other people don't have respect for her.
- Where do you get these kids? These are not simple concepts
that these children are spitting out. They obviously come from homes
where parents actually converse with them,
talk to them, give 'em some feedback.
This is actually interesting. - (Dr. Phil) Are you the head
of the family? - Ohh.
- (Destoni) No. - (Dr. Phil) So, you don't recognize
her authority as a parent? - (Katrina) Without her mom,
she wouldn't even exist! - Yeah, does she cut
to the chase or what? That's a really good point.
Without your mother, you wouldn't even exist.
I need her on my staff. - (Sydney) Dr. Phil,
really spitting more facts than any rapper today.
- (chuckles) Well, I'm up there with the rappers. That's good.
- (woman) I am obsessed with my appearance,
and I'm addicted looking perfect.
- (Katrina) Oh my gosh. She should be friends
with the first girl! - (laughs)
- (woman) My idea of looking perfect...
- (Noelle) She probably thinks
she's not pretty enough. - Yeah. Now, seriously,
out of the mouths of babes. She probably thinks
she's not pretty enough, so she spends her entire day
trying to cover it up. Very well said.
- (Julia) You should always be caring about how you look like
on the inside, not how you look like
on the outside. - Wow. She understands it,
but that 20-year-old doesn't. - (Sydney) You look fine
the way you are. I mean, if you're trying
to get famous, then be famous for your personality
and not the way you look. - Seriously. Now, these kids
are very insightful. Every guest I have
is a teaching tool, and this tells me that that guest
was worth having on, because it stimulates that thinking
in these kids. - (Dr. Phil) ...might try
filling yourself up by giving of your heart
and your spirit and your soul, where you actually did something
where you... - (laughs) I think he agrees.
I think I finally said something he liked.
- (Gabe) I feel like my opinion's the opposite of his.
Just think about yourself and how you feel about yourself.
- I think he's actually not disagreeing so much
as he's saying have some self-worth, take care of yourself.
I don't disagree with that. I think he's just saying it
in a different way. - (Katrina) Did you see
she started smiling? Everybody has that good side.
I mean, like she could change. - She's a little more optimistic
than I am, I think. (chuckles) The innocence of childhood.
She's looking for the good in this.
That's a good reminder. - (FBE) So, Dr. Phil has been
on TV for over 17 years. - (Sydney) He's older than 17?
- (laughs) A little bit, yeah. - (Sydney) As time goes on,
there's gonna be more and more crazy people being
out in the world and just being them weird selves.
So, just Dr. Phil's there to talk to them and just show people,
like, you're a great human being compared to these people.
- Damn right. That's what I'm doing.
That's exactly why I'm there. And people say it's a crazy world.
I'll never run out of something to do.
- (FBE) Do you think Dr. Phil should focus more on the kid
or do you think it has more to do with the parent?
- (Noelle) It's because the parent. The parent isn't doing right,
and it's not acting well. - (Julia) Sometimes, it is the kid,
but it's mostly the parent for really spoiling the kid
or letting everything-- all of that happen.
- This is amazing. They all get it.
I mean, they're all saying the same thing.
The parents need to step up and do their jobs.
The kids get it. - (Katrina) The parents' actions
and non-responsibility kind of rubs off on the kids,
but also the kids. It's like they don't think
about anything they're doing. We all need to think
about what we're doing and how it'll affect others.
- Once again, she turns this whole thing around 360 degrees.
Yes, it's the parents, but then the kids need
to take responsibility as well. I mean, she thinks about it
from every angle. That is a very bright young lady.
- (Sydney) It's good they're talking about it,
and it's good to let it out and understand the situation more,
but in the way of national television might not be the best way.
- Very impressive kids. Where do you find these kids?
Watching this and hearing them reason and hearing their insights,
if our future is in the hands of that generation,
I'll sleep better tonight I have to say after watching this.
Those kids are bright. - So, first of all, Dr. Phil,
thank you so much for being here at FBE.
Obviously, things look a little different
than they normally do due to us being quarantined right now.
So, before we get into everything, how has this strange time
in history been for you and your show?
- Well, you know, when this really hit,
CBS came and said, you know, "We have to shut down,"
which I hated, but I agreed with 'em 100%.
And I came home and thought, you know, this is the biggest mental,
emotional impact on the collective consciousness
of America since 9/11 in my opinion. And I thought that is absolutely
not the time for Dr. Phil to go silent, to disappear.
And so, I figured out a way, like we're doing now,
to do what I needed to do from home.
I think people needed to be hearing how to handle
the pressure, the economic collapse, the fear of the disease,
being locked up all in one. I just thought it was time for me
to stay on the air and do what I'm doing.
- So, going back to our episode, what was it like to see
the kids cast react to you today? - It was very impressive.
I was flattered that they were interested in it,
and I was very impressed with their insight.
I was astounded that children that young understood that much
about human dynamics in, really, adult situations
with so little input and so little stimulus.
- You've become an almost larger-than-life figure
in the media, so much so that there are
many memes around you online, especially on YouTube.
So, what did you think about this at first
and how did you come to embrace it since you're now
coming onto our show and reacting to this episode,
which is almost a meme in and of itself?
- You know, I know that there are a lot of memes out there,
and a lot of 'em are hilarious.
And look, you've got to be able
to laugh at yourself and be part of the joke,
and I get a kick out of it. It's interesting.
Some things will really catch on that kind of get morphed
that I never actually say.
Like, you know, "Send him to the ranch."
I've never said that. I've never actually said that.
But it's... goes across the internet like wildfire.
But in fact, while I've never said it, it actually kind of reflects
my attitude and approach, so it's interesting
how they interpret you, translate you, and put you out there.
And it's still pretty on target even though it's a misquote
or a paraphrase, I guess. - So, is there anything exciting
coming up for you or your show or your social media
that you want people to know about? - Well, you know, one of the things
that I'm really working on right now is I'm going onto Instagram,
Facebook, and YouTube every morning at 11 o'clock to just talk to people
about what's happening, because I think that the mental
and emotional toll that all of this pandemic
and lockdown and economic collapse, I think the toll
that the mental/emotional aspect is going to take is gonna be
as much or more than the actual virus itself.
And so, I'm trying to be everywhere I can to give people answers
about how to get through this difficult time.
- So finally, now that you've gotten to see what some of the kids
think about you and your advice, is there any advice that you have
for all the kids who reacted to you today?
- Well, just be really proud of yourselves,
because you're obviously very smart. You're very thoughtful.
You've got a sense of humor. You've got a great value system.
And I suspect that those kids have a great future in front of them.
Every one of them seemed to have their head on straight.
And what I would say is Mom, Dad, good job.
Really good job.
Thank you guys for watching. Thanks for following me.
I appreciate you watching Dr. Phil.
I really appreciate everybody for tuning in to Facebook,
Instagram, and YouTube every morning at 11 o'clock while we're talking
about this pandemic. So thanks for all that support.
We'll see you around.
