Dr. Phil’s ‘Big Knife’ and ‘Small Wife’ Are Both False

perhaps I ’m alone here , but almost two month subsequently , I ’m still thinking abouta truly haunting tweetfrom America ’s favorite unlicensed counselor-at-law , Dr. Phil McGraw . If you ’ve forgotten it — as I have seek to , repeatedly , with no success — the tweet just stated , “ BIG tongue ! SMALL married woman ! ”

The overly white grinning , the single distort glove , the bit of food so distinctly too self-aggrandizing for her backtalk , the uncomfortable collocation of a spouse and a potential murder weapon system : It ’s all there !

You ’ll also notice that this message , which has never been full explained by McGraw or his wife , was sent on March 25th and it is now , in fact , mid - May . Nothing about Phil , his tongue , or his wife has modify ( to my noesis ) , but the tweet still wriggle its means back into my brain sometime around 2 a.m. last Nox . I just had to know : How little was this wife , really ?

To my surprisal , FamousPeopleToday.com(and a glut of similar websites that crop up when you type in the name of a famous somebody and then the Scripture “ summit ” ) lists Robin McGraw ( neé Jameson ) as 5 foot , 6 inches tall . Not only is this wife not small , she ’s above average — at least consort to aggregated information from theCDC , which find the average height of an adult woman in the United States to be 5’3.7″.

The truthful Phil Heads reading this are likely one footstep ahead here , but the ( non - practicing , non - medical ) doctor is over 6 feet tall . One could argue that the supposed smallness of the married woman is not a reflection of her absolute size , but a relative judgment of the ( 5’6″ ) married woman by her towering ( 6’3″ ) husband . I must say , I was saddened to get wind Dr. Phil was tall than me ( by a haircloth ) , but there are thing bigger than my ego that need tending to . What , for case , is come about in the pic to make this height disparity non - obvious ? Is Phil kneeling / squatting ? Is Robin on some sort of step ordure ? It ’s out of the question to regulate . What is potential to watch is the sizing of this allegedly “ BIG ” knife .

In the photo , Phil helpfully holds the tongue in such a way that the God Almighty ’s mark is confront the camera , make the Holy Scripture “ knuckle ” barely legible near the object ’s spine . This full point towards Guy Fieri ’s line of Knuckle Sandwich cutlery , although the Deutsche Mark and palm colors on both the newerJapanese steelversions and the olderGerman steelversions do not match the tongue depict above . The black ABS charge plate grip with a lily-white slide pattern , however , is a utter giveaway that Phil treated himself to the ( now - discontinued ) Guy FieriMidnight Series Knuckle Sandwich tongue set , first released in 2011 concord to aFans of Guy Fieriblogspot mail service .

The largest knife in that stage set , the “ Big Stick Chef ’s Knife with Crisscross Crusher , ” is 8 inches , which is on the pocket-sized side of norm for a rest home cook . Anyone claim that Robin can be called a “ SMALL married woman ” relative to Phil himself will thus have trouble defending the other one-half of the tweet . Logically , that same comparison would invalidate — or at the very least earnestly undermine — any assertions about the largeness of the “ self-aggrandizing KNIFE . ”
