The Dr. Phil Podcast

A family massacre. A teen charged. And ChatGPT, an alleged accomplice. A 17-year-old in Massachusetts is charged with murdering his mother and 14-year-old brother after investigators found he'd used ChatGPT to search "fantasy stories" about killing them. It's the 4th murder case now linked to AI chatbots. Is the technology to blame? We go back 50 years to teens blamed for murder over playing records backward to answer that question. Plus the warning signs every parent needs to see before it's too late. If you or someone you know is in crisis: call or text 988.

Dr. Phil sits down with neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath for a wake‑up call every parent needs to hear. Across the country, kids are more distracted, more anxious, and less interested in school, even as classrooms fill up with laptops, tablets, and “learning” apps.​ Dr. Horvath issues a chilling warning: the very school devices families were promised would boost achievement may actually be quietly eroding children’s attention, memory, and motivation. He and Dr. Phil expose how classroom tech can blunt deep thinking, lower test scores, and reshape developing brains in ways most parents never see coming.​ In this urgent, brain-based conversation, Dr. Phil pushes for straight answers and simple, powerful steps parents can take right now—at home and at school—to protect their child’s focus, learning, and future before more damage is done.

Another Epic UAP Failure. Dr. Phil breaks down why 93% of Americans have no official way to report a UFO/UAP sighting. Thousands of civilian UAP reports sit untouched while the government turns a blind eye. In today's Real Story, Dr. Phil exposes the broken UAP reporting system: no public reporting channel through AARO or PURSUE, 1,855 "Tier One" credible UFO sightings sitting in NUFORC's database, and two former U.S. presidents (Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan) who saw UFOs with nowhere to report them.

She wasn't just a country legend — she was family we never met. Dolly Parton's passing revealed a real psychological phenomenon: parasocial grief, the one-sided bond that makes losing a stranger feel like losing a loved one. From the wildfire relief fund she launched in 48 hours, to the Imagination Library that's put hundreds of millions of free books in kids' hands, to a million-dollar check written out of her own pocket after Hurricane Helene — Dolly proved family isn't about blood, it's about who shows up. This is The Real Story on why the world grieved her like kin. 💔🎶
