Living By Design 10 - Never Too Late

Tonight, Dr. Phil focuses on a dangerous trend law enforcement calls a “street takeover,” where hundreds of young adults close down streets to perform reckless car stunts. Dr. Phil will speak with Cindi and Maria, who know first-hand how dangerous a street takeover can be. Maria says what started out as a fun night hosting a dinner party for friends, ended with her in a coma, and her loving fiancé Raymond, dead. Maria says while crossing the street she and Raymond were run over by a young man allegedly leaving a street takeover. Now, Maria is left to pick up the pieces while Raymond's sister, Cindi, fights for safer streets in honor of her late brother. Plus, Dr. Phil speaks with car enthusiast Eli, about how he is trying to stop this dangerous trend. Dr Phil will also speak Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar to discuss this trend from a law enforcement point of view.

Part 2: On January 26th, 2011, Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her apartment with twenty stab wounds to her head, neck, and back, as well as eleven bruises in various stages of healing on her right arm, leg, and abdomen. The medical examiner initially ruled it a homicide, but after a secret meeting with police, he changed the cause of death to suicide. Ellen’s fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, alleged that he had gone down to the gym in their apartment building for 30-45 minutes and was unable to get back into their apartment. He called, texted, and yelled into the apartment before asking the building manager for help getting into the apartment, only to find out the door was latched from the inside. After an hour of this, Sam busted through the door and found Ellen’s body on the floor. He called 911, and then he moved on with his life. He’s now married with two children and is a sports TV producer. Ellen’s parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, fought for justice for 14 years. Just this month of February, they settled two civil cases with the city of Philadelphia and remain devastated and angry over the mishandling of their only child’s death. The city of Philadelphia has also agreed the current medical examiner will reopen Ellen’s case and, look at the physical and medical evidence of her cause of death and draw their own conclusion. This type of challenge to the medical examiner is unprecedented in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania- and could change state law in the future. Attorney Guy D’Andrea, who personally investigated the case for the Philadelphia DA in 2015, will discuss the huge inconsistencies in the evidence he found at the crime scene and in the autopsy. Our very own Nancy Grace, who has been following the Greenberg’s case for months and is releasing a book about Ellen’s death, will also join to dissect the case and discuss the relationship she’s built with Joshua and Sandee along the way.

Viral fame or a fancy degree? Dr. Phil asks the question, is higher education still worth it? Dr. Phil tackles the pressing question facing young Americans and their families: Is higher education worth the cost? As tuition prices soar and student debt hits record highs, with the average federal loan debt over $37,000, alternatives to traditional college are gaining appeal. With a backdrop of a 2023 Wall Street Journal survey revealing 56% of Americans question the value of college, Dr. Phil delves into this seismic shift in career aspirations and the path to fulfilling your dreams. Joining the discussion is Giada, as social media influencer, who says she wants to forgo college, to be a social media "star," instead. Her mother Mindy says she is torn between her daughter continuing on the social media path or whether she should pursue a traditional education. Dr. Aaron Dinin, who teaches social media influencing at Duke University, provides an expert's perspective, alongside Morgan who claims her college degree wasn't worth it, and Dr. Tawanna Gilliard who, while grappling with nearly $400k in medical school debt, debating taking her own life.

Dr. Phil is discussing a dangerous trend law enforcement calls a “Takeover,” which is an event organized on social media with the sole intention of gathering as many teens and young adults as possible, to literally “takeover” city and suburban streets, parks, malls, and houses to party in for profit. Law Enforcement reports that often these events result in businesses ransacked, and neighborhoods destroyed from chaotic behavior, reckless driving, and violence that ensues, many times leading to arrests and death. Dr. Phil will speak with the mother and teenage girlfriend of a 17-year-old boy named, Landyn, who was shot and killed at what has been described as a Teen Takeover party. Dr. Phil will speak with Bexar County Sheriff, Javier Salazar, who is investigating Landyn’s murder, and reports that every weekend his office is responding to drug and alcohol fueled takeovers organized by online hosts, and attended by teens, who are armed with guns. Leading up tonight’s episode, Dr. Phil’s team worked to gather intel in order to track alleged takeover party hosts in the Bexar County and discovered information about a potential takeover party. Watch what happens when the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office allowed Dr. Phil’s cameras to follow them to that party, which resulted in numerous arrests, and firearms seized.

Social media trends stirring controversy: The “Trad Wife” movement is gaining millions of followers; critics call it regressive. Plus, fit influencers are pushing steroids to young men, raising health concerns. Social media trends can change drastically in just a year, and two movements are now capturing widespread attention—and controversy. The “Trad Wife” phenomenon, where women embrace traditional homemaking roles and step away from the workforce, has surged in popularity, amassing millions of followers and nearly 100 million views. But while some celebrate the lifestyle, critics argue it reinforces outdated gender roles and diminishes women’s societal standing. Meanwhile, young men across the country are being drawn into a more dangerous trend—following fitness influencers who promote performance-enhancing drugs like steroids. A study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate reveals that in just three years, videos pushing steroids to teens and young men have been viewed over 420 million times. As these two trends gain momentum, they spark heated debates about gender, health, and the influence of social media.
