Joe Rogan Experience #1254 - Dr. Phil

... and five, four, three, two, one. (sound of microphone being hit) Is it hanging up on us?

(clears throat)

We're live?

(clears throat)

We're live. Dr. Phil, we're live. Someone's calling you. What's going on? Tell these people to fuck off. (laughs)

Yeah, some of those people I was trying to find. (laughs)

(laughs)

Now they're saying, "Oh, shit."

(laughs)

(laughs) You know, let them worry.

Um, out of all the years you've been doing your show and all the years you've been giving advice, how, how did this Catch Me Outside girl, how did this happen?

Oh, God.

(laughs)

I... (laughs)

Out of all the different shows.

I got to go now. (laughs)

(laughs) Out of all the different shows, you made a monster.

I know. I mean, it's my moment of infamy.

(laughs)

Uh, no seriously, this girl comes on with her mother (clears throat) and... Or her mother actually brings her on, of course, and, uh, uh, she's a train wreck. And we work with her, and we send her to this ranch for, like, four months, right? She goes for a long time and makes a complete turnaround, does a, really, a great job. They say she's become a leader. She's working with all these girls, doing a great job. And then she graduates, and I remember this last shot when we do this, this piece at the ranch. She jumps up on this fence and is smiling and everything, and waving and all. One night home with her mother, one night, and her mother's finding people that are trashing her, the mother, on, on, uh, these social media platforms. Her mother tracks them down, backs him to who they are, gets their phone numbers, calls them up, yelling into the phone, calling them names and stuff, gets the daughter involved. One night crashes. So they come back for a follow-up, like, I don't know, a month or two later, and when they come, I say, "Okay, we're gonna have them back." They walk out, I have the audience completely empty. I have nobody there to play to. I mean, 250 chairs empty, nobody in the house but me, the mother, and the daughter.

That's a good move.

And they go, "What? Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, well, where is everybody?" I said, "Well, you don't need anybody. We're just here to talk and, you know, keep things rolling," right? And they were dumbstruck. They, there was nobody there to showboat for or, or play to, and that was like a 15-minute interview. They had nothing to say. And off they go, and then (sighs) this phrase that got turned into a, you know, whatever, a meme or whatever they call it-

Yeah.

... um, it just went crazy. And what, I... She was nominated for a Grammy or something?

(laughs)
