SummaryFormer Prince Andrew's Depraved Secrets EXPOSED, Stephen Colbert's Ego Trip, & Brad Pitt Ostracized
1w ago01:33:16Summary readyMaureen Callahan targets "Entertainment Tonight" as a leading example of why shows like this are a dying culture, highlighting their lack-luster coverage of the latest drama surrounding Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, including their empty story of how their daughter Zahara is the fourth child to drop his surname, the commentary from the show's hosts that does not move the needle, and the obvious slant and source of the inside details. She then goes after how the show fawned over Stephen Colbert with an overly indulgent segment on his late-night departure, treating him as a far bigger cultural force than he really is. Maureen is then joined by Royal biographer and author Andrew Lownie to discuss his bombshell reporting on the depraved details continually unfolding around former Prince Andrew's predatory behavior and Sarah Ferguson's scandalous affairs. Later in the show, James from Corporate returns to The Nerve for an in-depth review of a batch of new films with Maureen.

SummaryTaylor Swift's Spell Over Travis Kelce, Jack Schlossberg's Nepo Campaign, and Tom Brady's Gucci Runway Walk
2w ago01:28:01Summary readyMaureen Callahan goes off on nepo spawn Jack Schlossberg for his long track record of having nothing to offer to the culture, how his bid for congress is a complete joke, why there is a rapid staff turnover on his campaign, how media outlets who would normally be in his corner have turned on him, while others are too lazy to challenge anything he says, and how he has never had a real job. She then turns to the Gucci Cruise 2027 show where Tom Brady had no business walking a fashion runway, Mariah Carey needed a full team of handlers just to remove her coat, Cindy Crawford's face got buried behind a plume of feathers and Paris Hilton wore a cheap-looking brunette wig. Maureen is then joined by Bill from Brooklyn to break down the latest schmooze display put on by Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, the NY Knicks winning streak, Olympian Ryan Lochte's fall from grace, and the alleged affair between NE Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and sports journalist Dianna Russini.
