Brian Urlacher is one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history, a fierce competitor, a Chicago icon, and a first-ballot Hall of Famer. But behind the fame and ferocity is a deeper psychological story. Today, Dr. Phil talks with the man behind the pads to uncover how a childhood marked by instability, a hardworking mother, and a dedicated stepfather shaped the drive that made him great. Urlacher opens up about being overlooked as a young athlete, transforming rejection into fuel, and the leadership mindset that made him the heart of the Chicago Bears.

Flying used to be special. Now we’re debating whether bathing suits, crop tops, and F-bomb merch belong in the boarding line. With the DOT begging passengers to “dress with respect,” maybe it’s time we ask ourselves how the skies got this sloppy.

Part 2: Dr. Phil and behavior expert Chase Hughes reveal how psychological programming shapes your beliefs and the practical steps anyone can take to break free.

Dr. Phil and behavior expert Chase Hughes dive deeper into how Americans are being neurologically and psychologically programmed and h ow to take back control. Chase explains why unconscious forces shape more of our decisions than we realize and why making the unconscious conscious is the first step toward freedom.

Dr. Phil highlights how echo chambers, tribal identity, clickbait headlines, and algorithm-driven outrage keep people reactive instead of reflective. They break down why healthy skepticism, not paranoia, is essential, and why proving yourself wrong is the fastest path to growth.

Chase also walks through his viral “Pledge” and explains how refusing to let electronics define your neighbor, normalize political violence, or decide who to hate is the foundation of reclaiming autonomy. From empathy to identity, from holiday family battles to social media toxicity, this episode equips you with tools to fight back against manipulation—and choose unity over division.

My dad used to say: "The holidays are when we feel obligated to spend too much time, in too small a space, with people we don't really know… and spend money on things nobody needs." That's because holiday magic has nothing to do with perfection and everything to do with expectation management. You have my permission to simplify. Let go of the holiday in your head and enjoy the one happening in front of you.
