Troublemaker
Hey everyone, welcome to the Nerve. We are back with a mega show for you today. First up, a power wedding. What we troublemakers will call an unholy union. Now this took place this weekend out in my vicinity. Thankfully I was not here because it was a shit show out here, okay? Between a political darling and a billionaire son. And surprise, surprise, not as all as it seems. You. You don't say. Next we will be diving into your feedback which is coming in hot. You guys are digging through the crates to find even more humiliating Mark grossness of record and I love it. I love it so much. So please don't stop. And we've got a little of per your request. Just like that mini recap of episode three which just dropped last Thursday. And we're going to top that off with what one of those effortless, effortlessly, excuse me, charming and fun. Just super fun cast members got up to in New York City over the weekend. We will also be addressing some celebrity detritus from the tail end of last week and over the weekend before getting into many of these stars in their Father's Day posts, which are actually coded missives addressing a lot of family fractures, grievances, grudges, estrangements. But remember, remember these stars also hold many things sacred, chief among them family bonds. So do respect their privacy before you like and comment on their their posts on social media because that all tracks, right? Tracks like Michelle Obama. Awesome. But she's miserable. It's all Making sense. Okay, now, before we begin, I would like to issue a genuine apology because I made a big mistake last week. It was in the last regular show before the Mini Nerve, which kind of turned into an extended mini nerve. But anyway, I was so. I was like. I think I was just like over overloaded, like, mentally because I'm such a grammar Nazi. And I was going on and on about this thing that is like my bet noir right now is people saying all of the sudden. And I meant to be saying it's all of a sudden. It is definitively all of a sudden. A a a And I mistakenly said the. And a fair amount of you caught me. And you were right. I made that mistake. So please, you know, know that I took myself out to the woodshed for a little bit over that. Okay? So you have my apologies. This episode is brought to you by Masa Chips. Did you know that chips and fries used to be cooked in tallow? And that's when big corporations switched to cheaper stuff like processed seed oils. But today, seed oils make up 20% of the average American's daily calories. And recent studies have linked seed oils to metabolic health issues and inflammation in the body that is not good. So Masa decided to do something about it. And they created a tasty, delicious tortilla chip with just three ingredients and no seed oils. Organic nixtamalli, ized corn, sea salt, and 100% grass fed beef tallow. So these chips don't only avoid all the bad stuff, they taste incredible, too. Masa is crunchier, tastier, and sturdier than other chips. And I know because I use them in my guac. And trust me, as I've said before, Mexican food is sacred to me. And these chips will not break under the weight of really good guac. Okay, so snacking on the Masa chips is nothing like eating regular chips. Because with Masa, you also feel satisfied. You feel light, you feel energetic. There's no crashing, no bloating, no gross sluggish feeling afterwards. And the beef tallow makes the chips that much more satiating. So you will not find yourself uncontrollably binging and still feeling hungry afterwards. Masa chips are beloved by tens of thousands of customers. They have been endorsed by industry leaders, leading health and nutrition experts like Ben Greenfield and Gary Breca.

That's masachips.com Maureen code Maureen for 25% off YOUR first order now to this most unholy union that took place this weekend. And this will be a recurring feature on the Nerve, the unholy celebrity union. Because this thing to me is, it feels, it, it feels like Rosemary's Baby and it's darkness and it's cynicism, but everyone from their celebrity friends, their presidential friends, their power player friends, their billionaire friends, and then the mainstream media people and the, their, you know, their ilk, they're all treating this like it's the greatest freaking love story, you know, since Anthony and Cleopatra. For your submission, troublemakers, I give you the bride, a 48 year old perpetual handbag carrier for one Hillary Clinton. The closeness of their relationship something akin to that other great platonic love story for the ages, Oprah and Gail. I'm not, I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying now, per a New York times report dated October 29, 2016, now this, this is, there's a really, there's a great, there's a great backstory you wouldn't believe. I swear if like somebody wrote this as a screenplay, they would be given notes to take half of it out because no one would believe it. Okay, so the bride is Uma Abedon, whose then husband was former congressman, who was then running for mayor of New York. I mean, New York City gets the leaders it deserves. You know, what can I say? His name was Anthony Weiner. Now he actually preferred to go by again a name for the ages, Carlos Danger. And we will get to that in a minute, don't worry. So Anthony Weiner, and I am somewhat of a believer in nominative determinism. You know that theory that like your name, your first name, your surname, both can determine what you become later in life, right? Like it's like a guy named Storm Fields who we have here in New York on local news, becomes a weatherman, you know, like it's that kind of a thing. So wiener, like a fixation with the peanut, you know what I mean? So he got caught up in a sex scandal while running for mayor of New York. And this is not just any sex scandal, okay? This was a unique and uniquely disgusting sex scandal, okay? Now this thing blew up. This again. 2016, Hillary's running for president against Donald Trump. And all the reporting is like, well, she's going to win, right? So she's going to win. And, and a lot of her top aides were telling her, you've got to, you got to ditch Uma. Like, this is this scandal again. It's not just a bill Clinton kind of sex scandal. You know, it's not an intern in the Oval on her knees. This is like, this is. We are sexting with an erection barely wrapped in like tighty whities while their four year old son is sleeping next to him. Like he took a picture of that and he sent it to one of his online sex partners. You know, I mean, this was, this was really, really, really real. Okay, you got it, you got it. So. And by the way, the New York Post at, I was working there at the time, ran 22 front pages of Anthony Weiner. And sometimes Uma would be on the COVID and sometimes she wouldn't be, but this whole sorted tawdry, like sexting a minor is a crime. Okay, It's a crime. And he went to prison, you know, but so like that was 22 front pages, which at the time, every day it was gonna be the wood. That's what they call it in the trade, the front pages. The wood. It was like again, like again. And the only other sex scandal to rival this and again to shock editors at a New York City tabloid, let alone the New York Post. It takes a lot. It takes a lot. But we were all constantly shocked because Tiger Woods, I think he set an in house record. He got either like nine or consecutive or nine or 12 consecutive days of front pages. I mean, these mistresses were falling out of trees. One would, one would show up, the other would say, wait a minute, me too. I'm over here. Like, can I have my moment please? May I have my moment? And there was one who came forward. I, I believe she came forward with like Gloria Allred, who's always sort of out there, like, got a guy who sue. Got a guy who sue. I can do it. You got a high profile man. Anyway, this woman was named Mindy Lawton and she was a waitress at a diner. And I pulled this up for you from a contemporaneous Fox Sports Report. Mindy quote, this is graphic. I'm just warning you. I'm teasing you and I'm warning you, okay? Said quote, she and woods had sex at his family's home in Florida and in his Escalade in a church parking lot, tossing her tampon out the window in a church parking lot. So, you know, here we are. Here we are. It's our real talk about fake people, right? So back to Uma and Hillary. Per the New York Times quote, the two women's closeness has both intimidated those in the Clinton circle of status conscious advisors and caused envy ellipses. Emails released by The State Department captured the closeness of their relationship. A jet lagged Mrs. Clinton once emailed Ms. Abedin at 12:21am to take her up on an offer to come over to Mrs. Clinton's house for a chat. And I quote from the email written by allegedly Hillary Clinton. Just knock on the door to the bedroom if it's closed, she wrote. So Hillary was in attendance at this wedding, this most unholy union, but this matters. And I pulled it for a reason because again, it was a foregone conclusion that Hillary Clinton was going to beat Donald Trump in 2016 and that she would be bringing Uma with her to the White House in a senior capacity. A woman who at this point in our timeline is married to a man who is sexting pictures of his erection with their 4 year old son sleeping on at his side, who, who first discovered along with the world that he was a lying, cheating, sexting pervert and she was pregnant with their child when the story broke. And what did she decide to do? She stays with him. So what we're looking at now is one of those New York legendary New York Post covers. This is of Anthony and Uma at Oppressor, a hastily called presser that it was yet another crisis of Anthony's own making. I mean, a shrink would have a field day. Does this guy want to be successful or not? Because he can't keep it in his pants and he can't stay off his phone texting and sexting people. There is Uma at his side, looking down, looking humiliated. Again, nominative determinism. Uma, humiliation. I don't know, is this her kink? I truly began to wonder at that point because I was columning on it and I couldn't figure out why on earth this woman would be sticking with this guy. I mean, look at him, you know, he's. It's not, I don't mean to be like, you know, superficial, but the guy did not have power, he did not have looks, he did not have money, he had nothing. Like, why is she sticking with him? And this guy is sick. He is sicker than the average politician looking to run New York City, okay? He was sexed at this by this time. And there's an amazing document, an amazing documentary called Wiener that was following him with cameras this entire time and is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Doesn't matter the genre, whether it's politics or rock and roll, whatever. Watch Wiener. I've seen it like 10 times. It is true entertainment. So he's sexting with this young woman who was going by the name, it's a theme. Sydney Leathers. Okay? And he's sexing her under his sex pest, bad boy pseudonym, Carlos Danger. Okay, you can't. Again, you couldn't script this any better. Now, before we go a little bit further into this, I want to just acknowledge that, yes, we have been covering abusive relationships. This is definitely vis a vis the Diddy scandal and the Bill Maher stuff. And we have covered and we will continue to talk about how hard it is for women to leave. And I do think, think that the kind of lying and cheating that Anthony Weiner was doing counts as abuse. I think Uma was in a psychologically emotionally abusive relationship. And, you know, if he was having sex with any of these women outside their marriage, he was also putting her at risk, her personal health at risk. Okay? But I'm going to qualify it with this. Uma Abedin is a woman in super high level politics, okay? Her boss, everybody thought she had a glide path to the White House, okay? So she's seen a lot, she knows a lot. She knows how this works. These people have access to the best crisis managers on the planet. So none of this ever, ever made sense to me. And you know, you look at this, this press conference, which is mortifying. I mean, look at the optics again. You have people whose job it is to make stagecraft look presidential. She's standing with him, looking down, feet apart, staring at what is like industrial grade carpeting, I guarantee you, in front of beige cabinets. I mean, this is, this is depressing. This is degrading, you know, and she spoke at this presser, okay? She spoke in his defense. And she said she did. She used that hoary political line that doesn't really work anymore. She said it was. It's only between them. It's our marriage. And I forgive him. And if I forgive him, you should forgive him. It doesn't matter. And that's not so, honey. It's not so. Because as I just said, we later learned he was sexting with a minor. Okay? And you, if you're going to testify as to his integrity and say that you know it all, then you are on the hook for all the other shit he's doing that you're going to then claim you didn't know anything about because you can't have it both ways. Here's what she said at the press conference in July 2013. And I quote, we discussed all of this before Anthony decided to run for mayor. By that point, she had sat with him for the political and marital redemption stories. People magazine cover story, New York magazine, lengthy, lengthy feature, New York Times magazine, I believe that was a cover story. And all three, it was party line. And all three, by the way, outlets were like, yeah, this tracks. This seems to be right. Okay, they wrote it out, they stuck together. Isn't that what marriage is about? For better or for worse, they were a better couple for it. Anthony was a better leader for it, a better leader. And this was all behind them. Anthony was of her formed man reformed. So she is a liar. She is a liar who is in it for the money and the fame and the power. She is in it for lunches with Anna Wintour, who's a terrible person, and bedtime stories with Hillary. You know, before that press conference, people generally felt sympathy for Uma Abedin. And after that, no, it was over. Now, in the aftermath of that, and it took her forever to divorce Anthony Weiner. She was like she was sticking it out again. I have no idea why. Then she gets a big fat book deal and she puts out this book called Both End. And I guarantee you she's in Clinton world, right? So she's kind of slimy. I guarantee you when she signed this book deal, the publishers were like, it's about your marriage, right? It's about your marriage and the fallout and how and your. And your redemption arc. And no, it wasn't. It was about a lot of boring meetings and, like, trips she took with Hillary and how when she first met Hillary, she thought she was the most tiny, beautiful thing she'd ever seen. If I'm recalling correctly, which I think I am, because I did read the whole book. It was. It was a slog. And you know the other thing I'm going to say about Uma Abedon? She's been Hillary Clinton's handbag carrier since she was 19 years old. She's 48 today. If Uma Abedon was as smart and savvy and sophisticated as the media continually tells us, as all those fawning Vogue profiles continually tell us, she would have risen up the ranks to become a senior advisor or something of real import of real consequences. What is she doing? To this day, she's still Hillary's body woman. Okay, so she's not bright and her book was boring. And the one thing that she did reveal, because you do have to give something up when they're paying you, I'm guessing she got a couple of mil at least for this book deal. She revealed that she was a virgin until she was 32. And guess who took her virginity? Anthony Weiner. I mean, these are not winners over here. Okay, so let's look at the hard launch of Uma's engagement to one Alex soros. Soros, the 39 year old perpetual bachelor son of billionaire Democratic donor, excuse me, George Soros, who per reports, may be secretly funding a lot of these nationwide riots in LA and other major metropolitan cities. Okay, look at these pictures. Now if you're listening, I'm going to narrate for you. This is Uma and her fiance seated, like, they look like they're miles apart in a glass walled apartment. Then we're seeing them at like the White House. And her body language is very strange. Like she's torqued, like, away from him, like, get away from me. And then we're looking at this other one of the. Like they're side by side, their heads, and it's like, I mean, can you feel the heat coming off of these images? Can you feel the sexual electricity? The idea that they could not keep their hands off of each other? How lucky they are they found each other. And they'll be like, like, I mean, come on, just stop. And I can't believe these publications are publishing these images without so much as a wink and a nod. Okay, these two look like they're launching an app. And not just any app, like Hoda, like a Joy101 app. It looks like they're launching like a serious app or like they're announcing like a big business merger or some sort of philanthropic endeavor. They look utterly joyless and dead eyed. Okay, both of them have dead eyes. And you can see why now, per Vogue, Uma is an Anna pet. And I've always wondered why Anna has such affection for or interest in mentoring this woman. You know, she's Uma Abedin to me. Seems like a very dull, unintelligent, uninteresting, humorless person. So what is it? Access to Hillary? I guess that must be it, right? I guess. I mean, but the other thing too, you know, her other. Anna's other great pet is Blake Lively, you know, and again, who you run with is a reflection of who you are. So I think, you know, Anna's a terrible person. And by the way, one of her former assistants, her name is Lauren Santo Domingo. She was like an Upper east side IT girl who went on to marry like a billionaire heir. An heir to like a billion dollar. It's like a South American sugar fortune. And she kind of is like a Carolyn Bessette Kennedy type. She recently did an interview and you can go find it on social media. And she said that like the Devil Wears Prada is basically a documentary and that Anna's that awful. And she said it in a way that will like still get her entree into certain rooms and parties and what have you. But just noted. Okay, so yeah, so, so the vote. So Vogue covers Uma. Like Uma is like the second coming of Elizabeth Taylor. Okay. Now she and, and Uma herself, I gotta give her some credit. Okay, Maybe she's not lacking talent. She certainly has a way with like older powerful women who are very status conscious and will never change their hair or exit gracefully. So per Vogue, Uma and this scorching hot Alex Soros, he looks like Jack Antonoff. And that's no slight against Jack Antonoff. He's got a look, but like this guy looks like, he looks like. You know how there's sometimes there's this phenomenon. Andy Garcia is one, the actor Andy Garcia, where in utero twins, twin siblings are, you know, gestating, but then one twin dies in utero or doesn't form fully and the other twin subsumes that twin or the live birth. And this was in Andy Garcia's case, he was born with like a huge thing on his neck. Like it looked like a big circular spherical thing and it was like it was the dead twin that never like gestated fully like that. Alex Soros is Jack Antonoff's malformed un. Gestated twin. Okay, so Alex and Uma met per Vogue quote, at a mutual friend's birthday party where they quickly discovered their mutual interests in politics and public service. You don't say. Uma Abedin. You know, Hillary Clinton's dead limb that's been following her around for decades. And Alex Soros, the useless billionaire son of George Soros, discovered that they had an interest in philanthropy. Billionaire son and politics. Hillary's pet animal. Okay, whatever. And I mean pet animal, like you know, like a pet rabbit. Just something transportable, you know, and like quiet. Okay, so anyway, here are the details from this star studded week wedding in East Hampton over the weekend. And Jimmy Fallon was there. I have no idea why Jimmy Fallon was. Now the New York Times covered this and by the way, their comments are off. The comment section is turned off and that tells you something. When the Times editors think that the self selecting ultra progressive readership that they have cultivated would find even this ridiculous like this beyond the pale, are we really going to pretend, are we really going to pretend that this is a great love story? Okay, now the guest list Included Hillary and her husband, Bill Clinton. Kamala, that other great winner and her husband, that other great feminist male who smacked around a girlfriend outside of Khan one year. Doug Emhoff. Senator Chunk. Chuck. I said Chunk. Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries. Nancy Pelosi was there. Nikki Hilton was there. Well, you know, and the. And foreign dignity is like, oh my. Like the Prime Minister of Albania. Can you name the Prime Minister of Albania? I will not provide the name. I picture the Prime Minister of Albania as looking like that 30 Rock episode where Pee Wee Herman was the guest of honor at some gala that Liz Lemon went to with Jack Donaghy. And he was so inbred that he had like, like tiny hands, like tinier than Bill Maher. Like, like this. That's what I picture. Okay, the performance, the musical performance was by Boys to Men. That is all Koran, right? It's cool. It's happening. It's now. It's what's hip? I mean, was Crisscross not available? Like was a call place to Pete Rock and CL Smooth. Were they otherwise engaged? Digable planets. Can we get somebody? Anybody here? Okay, so these festivities happen to coincide with an exceptionally chaotic weekend. I'm reading from the New York Times again at home and abroad, protesters gathered. This is what's going on, okay? Protesters gathered across the country to oppose President Trump even as he held. I'm reading from the Times. An unusual military parade in Washington. A Minnesota. Sorry, a Minnesota lawmaker was assassinated. I believe his wife was also assassinated. How is that. What is this reporting? Okay? And then there's attacks between Israel and Iran. You know, the Middle east is on fire. Okay? So this is all bullshit. This is all bullshit. All of these people who are at this wedding are the virtue signalers. They're waging war for the climate. Allegedly they're flying into East Hampton or helicoptering in and jamming up. There's a two lane highway that leads into and out of the Hamptons. And all of those towns are along that one highway, okay? You get caught in traffic on that thing, you're on this two lane highway that without traffic takes 30 minutes and with it can take up to four hours. So these assholes are out here in their monster SUVs and dining on wagyu beef and sipping custom made top shelf cocktails while America burns. And those are the people out in the street who think that the people at this wedding who are espousing this political rhetoric. Those people don't believe it. They don't believe any of it. They love a divided America because it's politically expedient for them. So you, if you don't be a fool, don't fall for this. And by the way, out in the Hamptons every year there is a huge party thrown by a scion of the Washington Post. It's a Weymouth, if I'm saying it right, or Weymouth. I think it's Weymouth because she's a cousin of Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads. And every year, politicians, Dems and Republicans and all the media, msnbc, people with Fox, like, they're all out there and they all laugh at how the Americans and the world at large, like, buys into their, like, political rhetoric bullshit. You know, all they care about is money and power. That is it. So remember that the next time I'm slipping into George Clooney, he's like, possessed. My George is. Edward R. Has possessed me. But I'm just saying, I'm just saying remember that the next time that Vogue or whatever media outlet tries to tell you that Uma Abedin is a star and not a fucked up middle aged Muslim woman with a penchant for weird, sleazy Jewish guys. I'm not saying Alex Soros is sleazy, but something is off there. Just my opinion. And entering into what is clearly a mutually beneficial marriage so that Democrats can maintain access to her new husband's father's deep pockets. Okay, and this, this stretches to all political relationships. We've seen this. Andrew Cuomo and Sandra Lee, Hillary and Bill. We're seeing it with Michelle Obama. There is a very, very high price to be paid. And this vulgarity, this cynical obscenity is just the latest. And it's just a preview of the big one, which is Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos, who are getting married next week. I believe it's a wedding weekend. It's from the 24th to the 26th in Venice, Italy. And this is a city that has started putting surcharges on tourists in the summer. They are begging people not to come because it is accelerating the city's slide into the water. Okay, now that said, that said, if any of you troublemakers happen to be in the vicinity, please get in touch with us immediately and let us know what is happening over there. Okay? We will be covering it. We will be covering it. Someday this show will have a budget where we'll be doing a live broadcast from, stuff like that.

Troublemaker
We are back. So here's a little bit of stuff that broke last week and I just made notes to be sure to talk to you guys about it. Kanye west, who is now going by Yay Fine Yay Yay showed up at the Diddy trial on Friday dressed all in white. Now this was on the heels of that bombshell testimony in which I believe it was Jane Doe said that there was a major hip hop icon who with his girlfriend was participating in these freak offs. What we now we also learned we got a new detail which is salient and everything in the culture is kind of interlocking like a jigsaw puzzle. Diddy would also call these King nights and over the weekend we have these no King rallies. If I mean, if you're an Illuminati believer You know, but I wonder, like, is, is Diddy, Is. Sorry, is Kanye, is Yay, yay. Trying to get ahead of something here or, or, or is he making it clear that there's Jay Z? There's only one. I'm not saying Jay Z's involved. I'm just saying we were told there was a major hip hop icon. There's only one. There's room for one in this trial. Okay, One major hip hop star who participated in these freak offs with his girlfriend. I don't know, maybe. Okay, now, and just like that, episode three. Okay, there were a few things I wanted to be sure to mention to you guys. We begin with Carrie, who like the lighting on the show. It's like sunlit, it's drenched with light. It looks like a feminine protection ad. It's just, it's all just to make her look youthful and glowy. You know, she's a 900 year old woman, but she's youthful and glowy. And she's a shitty writer on the show, as we know. She's a shitty fucking writer. She was basically writing for like a free newspaper that you would pick up at the bodega, you know? Okay, so she's getting these offers. Her agent or her editor's on the phone. Like your editor doesn't do this. It's like it's your agent's job. But anyway, Carrie, a Google has invited you to speak. They're going to fly you out to speak at Google. She's like, nah. Oh, you know, south by Southwest has an amazing panel and they'll get any, any person that you greatly admire to give you like a fluff and fold interview. Are you interested? Nah, she's just that cool. She's just that cool, you know, but so whatever. And then we cut to Eden's ex wife calling Carrie and asking her to get some Adderall, some street Adderall for. For what? For what purpose? She does not say. She, I think she says it's for their son, but who knows? And like a moron who just is so desperate for her, for the guy she's in this healthy relationship with, who has just said, you know, we can't speak for five years and if you want to try to text me, like, we're going to have to do some ground rules because, like, I'm going to tell you how it's going to be. So she's like, like a moron. She's like, yeah, you know, have you heard of a little thing called fentanyl? Carrie? Okay, then her friend Seema, you know, so Carrie wants to go to Virginia. This is. She gets. She gets a low level invite to Virginia to talk to a bunch of nobodies. But that's where her loser boyfriend lives. So she's going to take that, but like a child. She's 900 years old, but she can't travel alone. She gets Seema to come with her, okay? And Seema is freed up because she has quit her job in a huff. And we. Seema is allowed like one line per scene where she can talk about her own career mental existential breakdown before Carrie's like, yeah, I'm totally bored by that. Let's talk about my boyfriend. Because that's the only thing we talk about. I'm 13 years old spiritually. And then Aiden shows up to rescue them because, like, again, what does this show say? Michael Patrick King, I now I have no doubt again, as a prosecutor, this is no doubt. He writes this scene where Carrie Bradshaw goes to rent a car. Who doesn't do this shit online? If you don't know the Turo app, Get it T U R O. You rent a car. It's peer to peer. Who is going to like, enterprise, you know, a freestanding enterprise. She goes to rent a car and she puts her license down. And the person behind the counter is like, ma' am, your license is expired like 20 years ago. It's like seven in the show, but it may as well be 20. Oh, I had no idea. I'm just a girl. I'm just a whimsical girl. I had no idea. What do we do? What do we do? Michael Patrick King hates women, okay? They get a car, Seema drives it, and like an idiot who can't read signage, she drives over, spikes again. I don't know what suburb has like spiked so they need a guy to come rescue them. So Aiden shows up with his truck and his smirk and you know, Seema's. Seema has shown her her usefulness is now. Is now done. You know, she's an accessory. Go buy Seema. Bye. And this was the same thing that Sex and the City did when she took a train to San Francisco under the guise of a book event to sleep with Big. And you know, Kim Cattrall, Samantha went with her and it was the same thing. Kim Cattrall, her character, I believe, was taking a bubble bath and she gets an emergency call from Carrie or she bursts in the room. She's like, you gotta get out of here. You gotta get out of here. I'm gonna have sex with Big and I need to have it in the best room, so get the fuck out. This is a terrible, terrible, terrible person. And, you know, whatever. So anyway, we end with her thinking she's won because Aiden invites her to stay the night. She's just trying to be easy breezy. Like we' 90s, we're back in the dinosaur era when dumb women read a dumb book called the Rules and it told them they had to be submissive and permissive in order to catch an alpha male. Not so. But Carrie has taken this to heart, apparently. And he's like, want to stay over? And she's like, I thought you'd never ask. And he's like, great, there's the guest house. I can't with this show. I can't. But it brings us to Cynthia Nixon, who plays the insufferable Miranda. I mean, they're all insufferable, but she's uniquely insufferable because Cynthia Nixon has turned Miranda into Cynthia Nixon. And Cynthia Nixon is another humorless figure in the culture who just inserts herself into everything. Now we know that clearly, had she been invited, I guarantee it, to the Soros Abaddon nuptials out in East Hampton, she would have been there like that, okay, because she's got a house out here and we're going to get to that. But instead, this weekend, she was taking it to the streets. Like the aging hipster activist, she is marching in the no Kings Day parade. Now, we're going to look at her Instagram account and her post about this, her carousel. In one image, she's wearing like a rubber clown's nose on her nose. And we don't know why. She does not explain why to us. But she's. I don't know, I guess she thought it was funny, maybe, or, you know, maybe it's a commentary on Trump. He's a clown. That's a very literal mind at work, if so, very literal mind. Now, also in this carousel was this image. And if you want to talk again about a lack of self awareness that the entertainment industrial complex has fostered amongst its subjects, look no further than this. This sign that she posted. The only. It reads, the only dangerous minority is the rich. Now, two things. One, this is clearly not Cynthia's hand holding the sign up because it's far too well manicured, okay? So that, that protester, by the way, can afford a $40 manicure. And that's without tip. So, you know, whatever. Now, so the other thing, back in May, right before, first of all, you want to say the rich. Are you telling me. Do you mean to tell me that Cynthia Nixon is doing the shit show? That is. And just like that, for the art of it, there's only one reason she's doing this, okay? And it's got to be the money. It's got to be the money because as discussed in the last show, this thing is an uncontained sewage spill, okay? It makes the Exxon Valdez look like you spilled some milk on the counter. That is how awful the new and just like that is. Okay? So she's doing it for the money. Let's just say it. That's my opinion. But the most dangerous cohort in this country is the rich, okay? Like her pals over in East Hampton. Like her pal Jimmy Fallon. If Jimmy Fallon calls her to do his Tonight show to promote her shit show, do you think she's going to say, jimmy, you attended the Soros Abedin wedding? And I simply cannot. I must stand on principle. I mean, no, she's not. She's going to run right over there. She's going to get professional hair and professional makeup and people to tell her how cool and pretty she is and how stylish she looks, and she's going to go over there, okay? But this is the real point, okay? Now, in May, right before season three of Sex and the City launched, Cynthia posted. I don't know why these celebrities do like cooking in their kitchen. Like, nobody believes it, whatever, but she posted from her kitchen in Montauk, okay? That's her second house. She has a house in the city and a house in Montauk, okay? And Montauk is the Hamptons. There is a cultural disconnect, to be sure. You know, Montauk does not want to be subsumed by the Hamptons, but it's already happened. It's the Hamptons, okay? Take a look at this. This is Cynthia Nixon cooking my kitchen in Montauk. I'm about to serve up some coffee. My kitchen in Montauk. Look at all of my cookware. And this is the ba. The basket I'm showing you. And that's where I forage in my lush garden outside for the kale I'm showing you right here, which is super delicious and fresh and, you know, it's so wonderful if you can. If you can source your own food super locally. And by that I mean in your fucking backyard, you savage peasants, okay? Not at the grocery store or the farm stand, if you're lucky enough to have one. Now, people, her fans were like, wow, she's so real. Like, that's kind of a dated kitchen. I don't care if you have a house in Montauk. You have a house in Montauk. You are rich. So Cynthia Nixon can shove it, okay? She can shove it all the way. She can fuck all the way off. That's Cynthia Nixon for you. Anyway, regular Meghan Markle. She should take notes. Is she paying attention to the culture? Take notes. Okay, now, this is a new segment, and I am very, very excited about it. We are calling it Crimes against the Culture. And I am so happy that we have each other, because I think you, like me, may share a very specific rage against morning television shows like network morning shows like Today and Good Morning America. Whatever Gayle King's doing when she's not out in space, I needed an outlet for it. And we have. Now we have it. It's here at the Nerve. Okay? So yesterday, Nepo baby, Jenna Bush Hager, who is searching like Odysseus, really, she's for a co host for her fourth hour of the Today show, which you want to talk inanity. I mean, yeah, it's bad. It's bad. But. So it's been months now. It's been months. And they haven't even shot a new intro for her show because when Hoda left, it was winter. And so we have Jenna, like, walking, like, Carrie Bradshaw down the street. She's really stiff, weirdly on camera after all this time, like, she's walking very stiffly through the streets of New York, and she's, like, trying to toss her hair, but not so much that, like, she might ruin it and get a coffee and, like, just walk through the streets. But she's. But she's dressed for winter. And they really should just, like, spend the time and money and just shoot a new one for spring. Summer. Shoot a new one for summer. We're in summer now. That's how long this has been going on. So, anyway, okay. She is co hosting with Leslie Bibb, the actress from the White Lotus. And I've said this before. I apparently need to say it again. It really is time for all of the White Lotus people to go away. I realize that many of these people have been in the business forever. They are in their 40s and their 50s, and this is their first real moment of true stardom and being in a culturally relevant show. But you have to know when to leave, because otherwise you just feel desperate. And Leslie Bibb, along with her compatriot Walton Goggins, it feels desperate. And you're going to make People sick of you. Okay? And Leslie Bibb is doing a lot in this segment. Okay? A lot. Jenna is getting a. She's. She's getting a bob. She's getting her hair cut. She's updating her mom hair. And on the set is Chris McMillan, who is the celebrity A list celebrity hairstylist who has been Jen Aniston's stylist forever. He is the guy who invented the Rachel. He cut Leslie Bibbs hair into a bob for the White Lotus. Put him on Mount Rushmore. Just put him there already. Okay, Anyway, and I, by the way, I was never a friend's person, and I suspect there may be more than a few of you troublemakers who feel the same. I, like, I had to keep my mouth shut. I had to keep my mouth shut in the 90s because everybody loved friends, but I always thought it was horrible. I thought it was horrible. Okay, anyway, let's take a look at Jenna, and again, Leslie is doing a lot. She needs. She's like, at 11. She needs to bring it down to, like, a six. Okay, let's take a look at the initial decision set up for Jenna's moment of bravery. I was here back in March. Jenna vowed to get on board with the bob, and today is the day. You are so excited, by the way. You're such a trooper. Thank you for coming.
- [45:15]
Maureen
It's an honor to be.
- [45:16]
Troublemaker
You're such a trooper. You're doing it live. I'm a trooper. You're such a trooper. You're doing it live. You're doing. Don't say doing it live. You know what that reminds me of? Back when Howard Stern was actually funny and actually took shots at people in the culture who deserved it. Before he became star, he had this clip of Bill O'Reilly that he would always play. And it was back when Bill O'Reilly was, like, doing something like A Current Affair. It was like this syndicated tabloid show, and, like, it was a clip of if. If. If we can find it at the Nerve, we'll find it and we'll. We'll. We'll use it in this app or another one. But he throws this fit, and he. And they can't get the prompter right or something, and he goes, do it live. Do it live. We'll do it live. Like, it's like.
- [46:06]
Maureen
We'Ll do it live.
- [46:07]
Troublemaker
Okay, we'll do it live. It do it live. I could. I'll write it and we'll do it live. Fucking thing sucks. You're like, it's a Current Affair, you know? You're like. You're reporting on, like, Octomom. Okay, whatever. So anyway, look at the crowd outside that studio, like, gathering. It's like you would think there was a miracle at Lord, you know, the way they're just, like, agog. I weep. I weep for humanity. I do. Metaphorically. So now, okay, again, there's no tip. There's no pro tip like a morning show tip. The irony, of course, that Chris's number one client, Jennifer Aniston, stars in Apple TV's the Morning show, which doesn't begin to scratch the surface of what a snake pit and a cesspool morning show television really is. Okay, you think those idiots over there are cheering for Hodecoti? You think they're rooting for her to succeed? They're laughing at her. Okay? They were glad they got her out anyway. Just saying. Just my opinion. Okay, so this is what morning show producers in New York City who run these national shows think about the people who watch these shows in flyover country. They think that you are morons who don't know how to show their hairdresser what kind of cut they want. Okay, listen to this. Well, now, for people at home who want to get a bob, because Leslie's haircut really has inspired the country, what should they do? Do you have any rules?
- [47:52]
Maureen
But definitely find pictures that you like. I always say we have our phones. You can find pictures. Find pictures of Leslie.
- [48:00]
Troublemaker
Find pictures of, like, Jennifer Aniston when.
- [48:02]
Maureen
She cut her hair into the mob.
- [48:03]
Troublemaker
Jessica Biel. You should find a picture of a celebrity. And you have Chris McMillan to remind you that you probably have a phone in your pocket, and you can bring that phone to your hair stylist and show them the picture. This is going to be a regular feature until we shame these shows into elevating their discourse, because this is a fucking crime against the culture. They think that you guys watching this? If you don't live in a major metropolitan city, you're fucking eating dirt, you know, and you're going over to the. To. To whatever passes for. For a salon in your fucking backwater. And, you know, you don't know what the fuck you're doing because you don't have five grand to overpay Jennifer Aniston's hairstylist for a cut in color. Why? Why are you even alive? Why are you even living if you don't have $5,000 to do this? Are you fucking kidding me? Okay, so now we're going to Jenna's bravery. Okay? Jenna is. By the way, Jenna's had the same hair just like Anna Wintour. Just like Hillary Clinton forever. Okay? So now she's gotten up the gumption to update her moribund plain Jane basic bitch Marcia Brady hairstylist. She's so brave. Okay, watch this. This.
- [49:21]
Maureen
We're gonna find your length right here, okay?
- [49:25]
Troublemaker
Right now. You are such a badass. You're so cool. You're so cool. I love this. You're so cool. You inspired me. I love it. I called this the single white female.
- [49:36]
Maureen
So it's not gonna be. Look down.
- [49:38]
Troublemaker
Okay.
- [49:38]
Maureen
It's a little single white family. I kind of love it.
- [49:42]
Troublemaker
I know. I wore that.
- [49:42]
Maureen
We're gonna go. I say right about. Boom.
- [49:47]
Troublemaker
Wow.
- [49:48]
Maureen
Right about there. If you go lower. If you go lower, stay down looking down.
- [49:55]
Troublemaker
Do not move. Should drive enough hair to donate. No, I'm going to say this. First of all, Leslie Bibb said, you're such a badass. You're so cool. Neither of the two is the case vis a vis Jenna Bush Hager. She is not a badass, and she is not cool. She is a Nepo baby who got that job because of who. Her father and grandfather were both presidents of the United States. And let's be real. If she doesn't like the haircut, she's got a whole army of stylists over at 30 Rock who are just gonna give her extensions. So it's not like she's donating a kidney. Okay? Jesus Christ. All right, now, on to your emails and a couple of quick celebrity updates. I read this last week. Saturday. I read this actually over the weekend. Okay. Luigi Mangione is now a celebrity, so we have to treat him as such. He's a celebrity in the culture. We must push back against this designation. I'm just going to give you this quick update from a guy who is in federal prison in Brooklyn here with Luigi and was kind of a little starstruck. I go up a of couple quote. I go up and I go to shake Luigi's hand. I'm like, yo, white kid. Yo. It's an honor to meet you. He turns around and he goes to me, you two are the first kids that came in here who even knew who I was or cared about it. I guess he must have seen another white kid and he was like, finally. But, you know, he's a social justice warrior. He doesn't see race, right? And then this. This jailhouse snitch, and he's going to find out what it's like for jailhouse snitches talking to the New York Post. Jesus Christ. He goes, his name is Michael Dadia. This little snitch. Quote, Luigi gets the New York newspaper every day. He would have me help look through some of the articles to see if there's stuff about him. Okay. Jury room at Weinstein trial got fiery. This came to a very weird conclusion last week. But there was fighting among the jury pool, the jurors, them and the New York Times. And again, I'm reading directly from this article that was published on Sunday, this past Sunday. The. This is the New York Times. And they, they're treating like this, like it's normal. The foreman of the jury, as the infighting continued, the four man I'm reading directly, a man who had emigrated from the Dominican Republic and spoke English only haltingly. Why is there a juror, let alone a foreman who can barely speak English on this tr. Okay, now, Bill Maher, one of you troublemakers. First of all, I gotta get to two emails before this thing you reminded me of. Dear Maureen, troublemaker from Australia, as per your latest episode inspiration, Bill needed some facts and I forwarded to below to him. Excuse me, to him and to hbo. Dear Bill, you should know that on average one woman is killed every nine days in Australia at the hands of a partner or existence partner. In 2022, 46 women were killed by someone known to them in your country, in America, every week. You are ill informed at the depth and tragedy that surrounds this issue every day across the world. I thought this should be brought to your attention. Agreed. Dear Bill, I once sat in a courtroom with my mom who was a domestic abuse advocate. The women she was helping either didn't show or asked the judge to drop the case. I was confused. My mom explained the emotional torture these women endured and that kept them from leaving and pursuing court cases. I was shocked, but I understood. I was nine. Go fuck yourself, you mental dwarf. Agreed. Okay, now one of you troublemakers reminded me of this. Bill Maher belongs. He belonged definitely. But this club still exists. So I would bet he keeps his membership in up to date. I bet he's on an auto renewal program he belongs to. Again, this is going to be graphic and but stick with it. He belongs to a sex club and it's called Sanctum. Now they spell it S, N, C, T, M so there's no vowels. And it's like, it's a dual effect. It's like slightly satanic and it's slightly juvenile. Okay, so I, I remembered this report because I couldn't believe it. So I pulled it and it was from the New York Post it stated for February 1, 2017. And he is in the lead of this thing, okay? In the lead. And this, the, the scene is set and it is like, you know you're going to want a Silkwood shower after this, okay? I open quote At a swanky party in a Beverly Hills, California mansion last Saturday, I spot Bill Maher in a sea of beautiful young women and make my approach Are you a Leo? I asked the host of HBO's Real Time while eyeing a lion pendant around his neck. Imagine this. He's so short, he's so diminutive with his tiny hands and like, can you imagine this guy? He's probably wearing like a silk shirt, like Hefner style, button down to the navel and he's got like this lion pendant. And like where did he get the pendant? Did he like commission it? Or was he like shopping at the Beverly Center? And he came upon it and he was like, like, that's me. I'm a sexual lion. Probably. This is Bill's reply. No, they make me wear this. Oh, here we have the answer. I was a little too creative. No, they make me wear this stupid thing because I'm a member, he replies, stroking the back of his date. A pretty younger women in a short black leather dress. Around us, a mostly female crowd of models, young professionals, actresses and assistants strut about in couture lingerie, much to the delight of older male guests in tuxedos. Of course, they're all older men. All I would bet you incels. Not saying Bill is an incel, but I'm just saying like he's reported that that was his experience of women in his teen and twenties. His teen years in his twenties. So I don't think much has changed. Okay, reading again from the article 120. This is what he thinks of women reading. 1:20 Something blonde crawls on the carpeted floor wearing red lace and a face mask with a leather pig snout and ears. Other pretty young things wear metallic pasties and black badges that read eat me or touch me on their decolletage. Is it decollete or decolletage? One of you troublemakers will let me know while holding silver platters of bite sized brownies and parfaits. I'm sure they're laced with drugs. I'm not saying, I'm just saying it's my opinion. Annual membership for these monthly parties as of 2017 anyway, is 75 was $75,000. So I thought, well, if this place is still in existence, its website must still be active and lo and behold, it is and up for you. I pulled an application to Sanctum which has this like Opus dei, like weird perverted, like Christian. Christian imagery. Like this looks like a chalice. This looks like a ch. Again, Bill. We know what Bill thinks of religion too. And like I'm. I'm no adherent to organized religion, but you know, there's only certain religions you can with like this and Catholicism is it. Okay. So anyway, they are now saying you have to go through a submission. So. It's so funny. It's. It's like a. It's like a papal conclave. Okay, but it's not. But you know what I'm saying. Like this is what they're going. Okay, first one must apply in italics. I'm reading from the application page. All submissions are confidential and review reviewed solely by our Dominus Council. Dominance sub dom whatever. But Dominus because it's also evocative of Catholicism. It's the purpose of maintaining the highest caliber of guests at our events. Is Bill Maher high caliber? I think not. Okay, now if an applicant meets meets Sanctum's professional, reputational and esthetic criteria. I mean, girls are crawling on the floor wearing pig snouts and having signs that say eat me on their backs or their butts or their boobs, whatever. So it's really, really, really elegant and high end over here. Okay. And then you'll be granted the status of approved non member. And the Aurum level membership is $12,500 per annum. That's per year. There's such assholes. Okay, quick Greta update. And this is via a. Another troublemaker. This is a troublemaker from Sweden. I am very embarrassed for Greta Thunberg and the rest of her family. Here in Sweden, Greta is regarded as a Nepo baby. Her mother is Milena Ernman. She is an opera singer. Her father was an actor. Like his father. I can't be bothered with his name. That is the spirit we love here at the Nerve. Last year when the Eurovision Song Contest was held in Sweden. Greta, I believe it's the mother tried to stop Israel from taking apart quote. She was extremely aggressive and almost psychotic. As psychotic as her daughter. The salient point here since a large. This is the troublemaker. A large part of my family are Jewish. I can tell you it is not easy to be a Jew in Sweden or any other part of Europe. And many live with a hidden Jewish identity. Does this sound familiar to anybody? You know, the Holocaust was not that long ago. It's sometimes also hidden from the family's children. And that means they grow up without knowing their Jewish ancestry. That is thanks to Greta, her mother and the likes of them. So don't think that she's just a harmless. There's a reporter in Australia was an open invitation to come on the show. Coined the phrase Doom Goblin to refer to Greta Thunberg. Okay, Doom Goblin in the Nerve lexicon. Finally, I pulled this update. Greta and her cohorts on that freedom flotilla, when the IDF was boarding to intercept them, they threw their laptops and their iPhones in the water in the ocean. I mean, what kind of environmental activist are you? That's it. That's it for our updates. Okay? Now as those emails just displayed, the finest minds are gathered here at the Nerve. So please keep sending me all of your thoughts, your ideas, your questions, all of it to MaureenvilMakereMedia.com again, that's MaureenvilMaycareMedia.com and remember to like and subscribe and spread the word like you're Bill Maher at a sex party. Okay? The more quickly we grow, the more quickly we can keep bringing you even more original content and shows. Next up, celebrity Father's Day social media posts. But respect their privacy, will you please? Don't be a savage. See you in a minute. We've all heard it before. Wrinkle creams are the secret to looking younger. According to Beverly Hills Cosmetic surgeon Dr. John Lakey, that is just not true anymore. And he says that most wrinkle products are nothing more than overpriced moisturizers with with some possibly doing more harm than good. That's why Dr. Laki stepped away from traditional treatments and developed something completely different. A simple at home method that is getting major attention. His clients call it the age rewinder method because it can visibly smooth the look of wrinkles in under two minutes. Dr. Lakey describes it as almost like Photoshop for your face and says you might be shocked at how easy it is to to use to share this breakthrough. He has released a free video that walks you through the method step by step. No signups, no interruptions. And this video has already gone viral with over 2.3 million views and thousands of glowing reviews. One said, I've tried everything and this is the only thing that actually worked. I look years younger. Want to see what everyone's talking about? Just go to bhmd1.com nerv or or click the link in the description. If it works for you, Dr. Lakey has one simple request.

Okay, now, as we all know, Father's Day was this past Sunday, both in the United States and in the uk And I'm just going to say, you know, for some people, it's a difficult day, you know, So I think that celebrities should kind of keep this in mind because I think there's a preening aspect even when they're acknowledging that they have some estrangements. You know, it's sort of it, it feels like, you know, they're basically in the business of saying, I'm right and that person's wrong. And that's really not going to get you anywhere when you're estranged father and son, what have you. Okay, so first we're going to attend to some American celebrities who want us to stay out of their family business, which is sacred until the times when they don't. And we are going to begin with exhibit A. And that is one saint, Jennifer Garner, whose image I believe is highly cultivated. Highly. Now, she posted on Father's Day a very intimate, never before seen photo which I believe should have remained that way. It is a photo of a young Ben Affleck lazing on a sofa, cradling one of their then infants on his chest. And she writes, happy Father's Day to three people's favorite landing spot. They have three children. Okay, just a few things. The nanny, okay, Ben Affleck, he's always denied it, but there were multiple stories devoted to the details of this thing. He got caught with the nanny. He was dating the nanny. Per this Us Weekly cover we're showing you infamous. It's the headline. He's dating the nanny. Oh, my God. And then the nanny was on the plane and she had all five with Tom Brady, Ben Affleck going to Vegas. She was wearing like four of Brady's super bowl rings. You know, he went on Howard Stern in December 2021. And this was, by the way, this was when he was rekindling his romance with our favorite death jiggler, JLo, and he said of his drinking problem, quote, I probably still would have been drinking, end quote, if he had. If I, meaning Ben, had stayed married to Jennifer Garner, okay? And JLO over here is thinking she has won the prize of all prizes she has won in this love triangle. And listen, if this guy is talking this way about his ex wife, the mother of his three children, how do you think he's going to talk about you when you two are done? Okay? Then he goes on to say, vis a vis Jennifer Garner, the mother of his three children, quote, part of why I started drinking was that I was trapped. I was like, I can't leave because of my kids, but I'm not happy. What do I do? I would say what not to do is humiliate the mother of your children this publicly. I don't think that's. I don't think that's being a great dad. You know, it's just my opinion. And it's the same with putting the onus on your children for not wanting to get a divorce. You cannot blame children as, like, you're the martyr and you're sacrificing yourself for their happiness, because that is a bunch of bullshit. And trust me, I know because my own father tried pulling that shit on me when I was like, 12. And I saw it for what it was back then, and I thought it was ugly. I thought it was ugly then, and I think it's ugly now. So don't do it. Okay? Next up, Rumer Willis posted another photo with her father, Bruce Willis, who, as we all know, is suffering from aphasia. I'm not going to say battling, because not everything is a battle. There are some battles that we will not win in this moment in time. Medicine is not there. Dementia is one of them. And I just have to say, this family, they need to stop. They need to stop posting photos of themselves showing what loving family members they are to their father, ex husband, husband, whatever, who is no longer there. We can see it in his eyes again. I'm just speaking from personal experience. My mother has dementia. I would never think to post a photo of her in her current state because it would rob her of whatever little dignity she has left. This disease takes. Takes a lot. But among the worst things it takes is your dignity. And, you know, there have been people in my mother's life who, for whatever reasons animate them, have attempted to strip her of her dignity, and it does not end well. For those people in my life. Okay, stop posting. Bruce, you want to post pictures of your dad, your ex husband, your spouse, post them of when he was great, okay? But let him go through this to its inevitable dark, sad end in privacy. Okay? Now David Beckham is having a family feud with his son, Brooklyn Beckham. And he posts something among his images. A close up of David with a young Brooklyn side by side, cheeks touching. David's quote, my most important and favorite job in life is being a dad. We get it. Just attend to this privately and not in the pages of hello. Magazine or TMZ or on social media. Okay? Just don't do it. And the same goes for Brooklyn and his little billionaire's wife. You know, stop saying that you're. You're having dinner with Harry and Meghan. Or maybe they're leaking it and you're using their lawyers. It's not a good look. And that brings us, that brings us to the royals. Now, King Charles posted on Father's Day a message to. And some people are saying this is a coded like kind of olive branch, possibly to Harry, to all dads everywhere. I don't think it's an olive branch. I think it's as best. It's a kind of recollections may vary. It's like, I'm not gonna say he's completely cut off for me. You know, I am sure when the time comes and it's there, the time will come. Harry will have some sort of conversation with his father, but there will be, you know, I don't think there's going to be a lot of privacy with that because he can't be trusted to not turn around and monetize it. Now, Catherine, Princess of Wales, who is a photographer, I believe she studied art and photography at university, posted a very semi informal but loving photo of William with their three children. It's all very tactile. They're clearly very comfortable with each other. They hug, they kiss. Unlike Charles, who famously was greeted at the airport by his mother when he was 4 with a handshake. It was the Times. I'm not, I'm not disparaging the late Queen Elizabeth. I loved the late Queen Elizabeth. Now Megan, who was not able to collect her meaningless award at a meaningless LA gala because the city's on fire. And she and Harry were also not invited to trooping the collar and the King's birthday kept quiet until Sunday. And then she threw up a reel on Instagram. And let's take a look at it. Her Father's Day tribute We're seeing Harry. We're seeing the children. We just saw one of them as an infant. We're seeing another one as an infant. We're seeing their faces. We're seeing they're growing and we're seeing their faces. We're seeing one in the. In a car seat in the back of a car. Now we're at the beat. Like, are we. Are we here for privacy or are we here for privacy? Because this is not it, okay? This is not privacy. And they are merging, these children. Now, make no mistake, we are getting very close to Megan launching an, as ever, children's line, okay? And guess who the models are going to be. That is if they continue maturing with looks that Megan approves of because I have always maintained she's a malignant narcissist. And these kids better be good looking or they're in for a world of hurt. They're in for it with her, okay? And they're so happy. And we can stop running this clip because it's bullshit and it's garbage. But the soundtrack she chose was a song by Jason Mraz. You know, she's like George Clooney. She's got real old timey tastes. And I think she thinks it imparts a level of class. It just makes you seem out of touch with the culture, which she is. She's out of touch with the culture. And if she wanted to make this point, there's a million other songs she could have chosen that are way more current. But this song is called have it all, which, you know, as. As with Megan. It's subtle. It's subtle, right? And the song is basically saying, I want you to have it all. And we know what she means. She wants them to have the titles. She wants them to have the pageantry. She wants them to have the hrh. She wants them to be in the royal fold, even though there are a bunch of racists. Allegedly. Who didn't care if she killed herself. Allegedly. While she was pregnant with Archie. Allegedly. Yes. Have it all, children have it all. You know what they're going to have? They're going to have all the psychotherapists on speed dial, and they're going to have all the burner accounts that their mother's attempts at communication are going to be landing in. Okay? Because we can never forget. We must once again resurrect the infamous south park meme. We want privacy. The worldwide privacy tour. We want privacy most especially for our innocent young children who never asked for any of this. Okay? That would do it. In the private jet. That could be a show that Jenna Bush Hager could look into someday if and when she loses her job. Because I don't understand the appeal. I don't get it. Anyway, they want privacy as much as we would like them to go away, but it's never going to happen anyway. Okay, that is it. That is it for us today. I think we. I think we covered a lot of ground. You know, I think we covered a lot of ground. And, you know, between now and Friday, who knows what'll happen. But I guarantee it's going to be another packed show. So we will see you back here on Friday at the Nerve, where you will never guess what we're about to say next.
