  • Phil McGraw, I like to point out has a bad reputation and still got a prime time drama about his career on CBS called Bull.

    There are been allegations that the work environment on the set of his talk show was toxic for those working on it. On top of that, there had been allegations that guest who were on certain types of medications would have it withheld before taping. Separate from this there was allegations that guest would often be given alcohol and illicit drugs before taping.

    I’ve only watched like five minutes of this show ever, where a mother tried reaching out to her daughter that was engaged in sex work. She wanted to get her daughter to stop the sex work. Everything McGraw said was vile and victim blaming about the daughter’s lifestyle. It was utterly disgusting.

    I recently went to a private lake, in a Northern California city. I won’t bother saying where since most would not know of the area. Anyways, the lake is not very large. However being Labor Day weekend, lots of families were present. One man decided to play reggae on a speaker fairly loud and shout some obscenities a lot.

    Apparently someone parked a car next to theirs and they thought it was too close. The other driver didn’t want to do anything. So each time he and his family walked passed him he would yell about how “fucking awesome” it was to be at the lake and tell that other man obscenely to go back to The Bay Area. It got bad enough that my mom called sheriffs and other people had complained too. The sheriff came and talked to him. He spent the rest of the on an inflatable raft just drifting on the water.

    Overheard some kids and it sounded like the man had done similar the day before.

    EDIT: It wasn’t interesting. Simply a public nuisance.
