Joining us now to discuss Megan Markle's latest face plant in the public square, along with some incredibly scandalous breaking news out of Hollywood, we are thrilled to be joined by Kinsey Schofield of Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered. And I had a great time over on her pod on Wednesday, where we were bracing ourselves to watch season one, part B. I refuse to call it season part two as Megan insists upon calling it. It is not, this stuff was in the can when the first version dropped

in the spring that nobody wanted to see. It's season one, part B of With Love Megan. I watched it clockwork orange style. Okay, I could, I got it out through 90 minutes. That was it. But before we get into that. I'd like to revisit happier times, if I may. I would like to, and for those of you who maybe haven't seen this, we filmed this, I believe, right before the Nerve debuted back in April. This is a show that I, I for one, cannot believe Netflix has not picked up for just a full order. If I may, here once again is my second acting job or my acting debut. I'm so in demand. I can't remember anymore. If I may, here once again is with love, Megan, Megan with a Y. Oh, thank you. It's just the kind of house I run. Look at that perfect amber color. No one else has ice sprinkles.

Cheers, dear. No problems whatsoever. Now, Kinsey, before we begin, I have to say the fall. So Megan, the grammarian and me has got to address this. This is in episode two of season one, Part B, the Chrissy Teigen episode. She says the following about her dog guy who is in the kitchen, in his doggy bed, and who I believe has been drugged just my opinion into submission in her fake kitchen because any dog owner knows, dogs go, unless you have a very rare kind of dog who is either very sick or not food motivated. That's the rare thing I'm talking about.

They're all over you in the kitchen. It's so annoying. You know, but guys just like chilling out. You know, so anyway, Megan, so Chrissy says something like, oh, who is this? And Megan goes, oh, that's guys, my dog. And then she goes, I had gotten him from the shelter. I had gotten him. Oh.

I got him from the shelter. her. Okay, so I love this for Megan, who just thinks she's so perfect. It's like, you know, her grammar's for shit. Okay. Now, steal yourself because we are only going to take a part one episode because this series is so saccharine and boring that it's enough to induce a diabetic coma. Now, as discussed amongst all of us here at the nerve, the opening of any given show should be a banger. Okay, it should grab you, whether it's reality or scripted, it should grab you by the throat and it should keep you mesmerized. So how does Megan, who clearly thinks she knows everything open this episode? Let's take a look. No, sourdough. It's a labor of love or stress depending on how

you do it. Let us begin. 113 grams. Music's doing all the heavy lifting with baking. The specificity of measurements is a real thing. Seventy-nine. 94. Oh, will she get it right? We are going to put in 113 grams of water. So let's zero it out. Will she make it perfect? Of course she will. Closest about going over. It's like the price is right.

Oh, God. This is so boring. I get alive. He's pouring water into a mason jar. And her challenge is can she make the water hit exactly 113 grams? And now she's exhaling, like she just ran, you know, the New York City Marathon. Get out of here. Now, we at the nerve were able to get the original recipe for Megan's sourdough bread.

How apt that she's making sour dough bread. First of all, because she's sour all the time. Secondly, it's so basic. It's what everybody was doing during the pandemic. The world has moved on, Megan. But in Megan's recipe, she forgot to tell us that you need to include like eight servings of revenge and zero servings of entertainment. Oh, gosh. That's the truth.

Well, I love that you said that the music did the heavy lifting because I talked to somebody in the music industry in Tennessee in Nashville about this particular episode and the beginning of that. She's playing Shake Your Groove Thing, which is like you'll hear it at every Bah Mitzvah. You'll hear it at every wedding. You'll hear it in the dairy aisle at every supermarket. And I said, is this a way for Megan to, is this how important is that music? Is this a way for her to try to, you know, make us love her through music that we sincerely love? That we just, you know, is there a conscious effort here being made? And he was like, absolutely, that's exactly what she's doing.

Because I just don't associate, shake your groove thing with bundling sourdough in your $30,000 jewelry. And hoping to God you've washed your hands, by the way, since you're leaving your jewelry on. That's so unhygienic. But yeah, this whole thing is just an exercise in narcissism, congratulating herself at every stop to the point where you're just like, do you have to do this because you grew up being rejected left and right at auditions in Hollywood? No one's a bigger cheerleader for Megan Markle than Megan Markle. To your point, at one point we see her later, you know, making the bread and her hair is hanging down over the dough mix. It's disgusting. It's amazing how many celebrities now that we're realizing have like zero personal hygiene.

Tracy Ellis Ross, excuse me, is a huge offender. And so our producer Marlena also pointed out something very, very salient regarding the choice of soundtrack, which is just really just like at this point, like generic Motown that's just like it doesn't say anything other than like, oh, we're just like having some fun here. some of it is like now in the public domain, so Netflix didn't have to pay for it. Ah, that's interesting. So it's a little bit cheaper for them, which they're in desperate need of when it comes to Megan Markle. Because the last I checked, we're a few days out from the show. It hasn't charted at all. I mean, it hasn't broken the top 10. Yeah, no, you know, it hasn't cracked the charts. It dropped Tuesday. Viewers are over Megan's Make Believe World and

paper thin friendships. The fantasy just isn't selling. Not only that, so the beginning of that episode where she's pouring, can she get the right amount of water into the mason jar? And it's like an episode of 24, you know? Is it going to happen? Or is she going to save the day? And then she moves the mason jar over to another countertop. And then she tells us it's got to sit. You know how long it's got to sit for? Six freaking days. So it's like day two, check the mason jar. Day three, check. Like, this is not good television by any conceivable metric. Also, we know it's BS because they didn't rent that fake house for that long. You know what I'm saying?

Like, they did not rent the fake house for over a week so she could make... Oh, Kinsey, are you telling me that they did some magic post-production and the inanimate Mason Jar was just shot in different light during the same day and it's the magic of reality TV and our Mason Jar really had not been filmed in real time? I'd go with fraud. a lot more long lines of fraud. But can I, am I jumping too quickly if I talk about John Legend for a second?

Well, let's look at this SOT because we'll skip over her. You know what? Actually, I want to show, first of all, Megan prepping for Chrissy and the way in which Megan introduces her. So let's get to her mincing about in anticipation of Chrissy Teigen.

Chrissy Teigen's coming. She's the quintessential multi-hyphen. model, entrepreneur, mom, cookbook author, and all-around foodie. Megan forgot to add bully. Yeah. The online bully. Terrible asshole. Told Courtney Stodden, a young Starlet who was really struggling to go take a dirt nap

and find other ways of killing herself. You know, Megan, who told us that she was so suicidal when she was pregnant, but the royal family wouldn't let her get help. and allegedly, reportedly, has a file this thick over at Buckingham Palace investigating her own bullying of staff over there decides who better for a show about friendship and entertaining than Chrissy Teigen. Well, don't forget, Megan this year was in New York on CBS promoting the parent network, this charity that is supposed to protect children from online bullies, protect children from suicide because they're being harassed online.

And then she spotlights an online bully that targeted a teenager. I mean, none of it makes sense. I don't know who the first chef is. I think the London Standard made a huge deal about this this week, about the chef that's featured on her first episode is also accused of terrorizing his employees. So it's like, is this a theme? Is that where you go when you're an a-hole to Megan, with love Megan to just, you know, try to rebrand yourself?

Yeah, it's like, you know, my mom always used to say water seeks its own level, you know? Like anybody of like quality you would think would go nowhere near this. I mean, so this is the next part where, because you see truly, I think, the desperation in who she can book for this show. And she's such an idiot. She talks about Chrissy being one of her. Hollywood friends, like a friend, she uses the word friend who she hasn't seen, Kinsey, in 20 years.

So she met her at an event once, you know, and they exchanged emails maybe. Let's, let's look at this. Knock, knock. Oh, my God. Hi. Oh, hi. Full on embraced. Come on in.

Sorry. Cute. I was lurking back here. Good to see you. comes John Lodge and her husband. I would have told H to come. Fomit. You take it, Kinsey.

Okay, so first of all, they were both deal or no deal girls at the same time and were not friends. Is that true? I didn't know that. Christy was a deal or no deal girl? Yeah, and so they're, and they kind of discuss it.

And even when they're discussing it, you realize that these two are not friends, that they were not friends throughout the time that they were both deal or no deal girls. You're right about an event. They both did a promotional event for direct TV for a Super Bowl back in the day, like back in the day. But again, these people aren't friends. They reconnect when Megan Markle writes her op-ed about baby loss because Chrissy Teigen,

we all know this thanks to the photo shoot she did after she lost her child, also has publicly acknowledged child loss. And I'm not trying to diminish that at all. But especially in Megan's case, we want our privacy. You know, she picks and chooses, when she wants her privacy. But I have a little bit, I want to ask you about the John Legend appearance. I have a source in L.A. I have a source in London

who works with the charity that Megan Markle is still associated with and there is fear come Christmas time. I don't have all the details, but there is fear that Megan Markle's going to try to do something in the music space around the holidays. And the charity is upset because they feel like it,

conflicts with Catherine the Princess of Wales. Not only does she do this gorgeous choir concert, but remember when she sat down and played the piano in that video went viral of Catherine playing the piano? I'm wondering if Megan has roped in John Legend to try to do some sort of music project associated with this London charity to help promote her Christmas special on Netflix, because the John Legend thing is too bizarre to me. I mean, I guess Chrissy Teigen needed him there to tell her when their child was born. Oh, we'll get to that. We'll get to that.

Otherwise, why is John Legend there? Well, you know, they travel together all the time. They're like Chrissy Teigen drags him everywhere, like an emotional support spouse. She can't, and we'll see why. We'll see why in a minute. But so this is great. I actually, I love this. I can only hope that Megan Markle gifts us this Christmas with entering.

the music space. Please do, Megan. Please. I do not predict it would be John Legend, though. Really? I mean, those two are fame hores and they'll go anywhere. No, I'm going to think it's going to be someone more like a little Wayne and we're going to be reenacting like the twerking video from the delivery room. It's something like that. If we're lucky, if we're lucky. Poor baby Jesus. He deserves so much more. But yeah, the charity is concerned because they're like, what is she going to do? Yeah. And really, she has been such a burden to them, demanding, she picked her own photographer for a shoot at one point for this charity. She did not like the photos, demanded that the photos be retaken. And it was going to be like at least $5,000. And the charity had to go

back to her and say, we can't afford that. If you want to do these pictures again, if you need to use your own photographers. We can't afford that. I mean, she is such a burden that I understand almost why she's completely disappeared when it comes to Prince Harry's charity pursuits. Well, yes, of course. She's really, I don't understand why these charities just don't cut her loose. Just say thanks, but no thanks. You're actually befouling our brand and, you know, we've had sufficient. Now, when Chrissy comes in to admire the finished bread, the sourdough dome, which has been sliced into, there's not a lot of continuity in this production.

But Chrissy has those coffin nails, which all those do is collect dirt and dust mites and debris. And she has her hair, which is styled with no end of product. and then, of course, her face, which is extremely heavily made up, she then takes said hands and puts them all over the bread, all over the bread, to remark upon its texture and its feel and so disgusting. It's like I wouldn't touch a thing out of that kitchen. No. I wouldn't touch a thing, let alone ingest it.

So here comes Chrissy talking to her good, her great best friend, Megan, about how much fun she's having with 80 crew. crammed into this fake kitchen. This is my most ideal day that I could imagine. So fun. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.

The crust on it. Here's the thing. When you sit around making this, I literally just like, oh, do I want any more bread? And I'm like, I have to eat it. You know? It took days to make it.

This is my starter. I thought it would be good for it. That's beautiful. The conversation is riveting. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. It's so weird how she makes all of this stuff before the guest comes over.

There's still all of this left. Wait, wait, so. There's something called the discard of the starter, which I think they need to rename that. I don't like to. The discard. No, it's like, I'm not a fan of that in word. Okay, she's, it's called the discard of the starter, the starter being the sourdough mix. Who cares?

But she says, I don't like that word discard. They need to rename it. And that struck me as very interesting, because you are probably familiar with the concept of the narcissistic discard. And that is when the narcissist is done with you. And those who may be familiar with Megan's narcissistic discard, just my opinion, are Megan Markle's father, Megan Markle's sister, Megan Markle's spouse, who she FedExed, the wedding rings back to.

Jessica Mulroney. Right? The Queen of England. Prince Philip, King Charles, Prince William, and Catherine Princess of Wales, just off the top of my head. Yeah, exactly. No, I'd say that that's pretty fair. Jessica, Ben Malroney, their children who were in her wedding, the dog, she left in Canada.

I mean, oh my gosh. But, yeah, discard. I thought that what, this is this the worst conversation. You can tell that these two were never friends. You can tell that they don't, Megan is not prepared. I think I said this to you during the Mindy Kaling episode. Okay. I think Chrissy Teigen is a terrorist.

I do. But you could look at her Wikipedia page and come. up with some pretty interesting questions about how she got, how she landed John Legend, how she got where she is. How about how you clawed your way back from that bullying scandal? How'd you do that, Chrissy? Obviously, we'd be more interested in that, obviously, yes. But she doesn't care about anyone else.

And it's so weird that she has all of this stuff prepared. They show us by herself preparing this stuff. Then these people come over and they just eat it and tell her how good it is. It is this crappiest television I've ever seen. Chrissy Teigen sitting there, dipping a tiny piece of bread into olive oil and saying, this is my most ideal day ever. No, it is not. Just stop.

Just freaking stop it. And then, okay, so the next. And this woman, by the way, Megan, Markle, wants next to do, she wants somebody to give her a TV, a talk show, a talk show. This is the level of conversation she's able to generate off the top of her head, extemporaneously in this kitchen. You know what? I made this bread.

And then I was like, well, I don't really want to eat the bread because I'm on the jab. It's my opinion. But, you know, I made it. So, like, I have to eat it. That's the conversation. Right. That's the conversation. Okay.

Then we go into, so Megan proposes, again, this is Chrissy Teigen's most favorite day ever. Yeah. This is stuff that even when I was a small child in, like, day camp, they would be like, why don't we handmake some jewelry? and I'd be like, why don't we not? Can I just take a book and go sit in a corner until my mom comes and gets me? Like, I, she's like,

let's make some handmade jewelry and it'll be themed to our children's birth dates. And this is great for Chrissy because she helpfully has all of her children's birth dates tattooed on her arm. But there is a plot twist. Let's take a look. We both have May and June birthdays for our kids.

Yeah, look, I had to get a tattoo of their birthdays because I don't remember. Sweet. Yeah. So April 14th, May, wait, is that 16 or 18? Oh, no. 18. Oh, no.

That's, John. Is it Rhett or no? Who's this? Miles is May. May 16. There we go. Kinsey, she doesn't even know which child lines up with which birth date. And she cannot remember whether it is the 16th or the 18th.

And then so she looks at her tattoo, but it wasn't done properly because it's smudged. And I used to make fun of the idiots who would get tattoos, who do get tattoos that say breathe. But now I have to reconsider. Yeah, she just justified it, huh? No, I thought this is not a cute moment. But of course, Megan Markle will take any additional seconds. She can have John Legend in the party somehow, because he, in my opinion, is the biggest known personality she has for season two.

And he's not even supposed to be there. He's like an extra. It was horrific. And I asked a body language expert about this. I said, is this sincere? And he's like, unfortunately, that is a very sincere moment. And then I also asked the body language expert about Chrissy saying that she adopts all the dogs. Like I said, does she really love animals?

Or is she trying to rebrand herself? And he was like, she doesn't remember her child's birthday. Like, obviously, she's trying to rebrand herself. She doesn't even know her kid's birthdays. Like, if she's like that empathetic and loving. You know, to your point, first of all, that John Legend, that's his disembodied voice coming from behind the kitchen. He's not even in the frame. He's like, yeah, it's the 16th and it's Miles or whoever, whoever, whichever child it is.

This is a woman, to your earlier point, who splayed all over Instagram photos of herself holding her stillborn child. right? Stillborn, swaddled up in a sheet, tears coming down her throat, black and white. I believe she chose black and white over color because that looks more serious. We're in mourning. And I would never say this about anyone else but a fucking fame whore who's on this show, two bullies together, pretending that they're going to teach us about how to be domestic and great fucking hostesses. And she can't even remember which child was born on which day, even though she's got a forearm of tattoos with said dates on them. It's insane.

It is so, I mean, again, Megan talks a lot about how she's involved in every aspect of these shows. She did you dirty, girl. Your friend of 20 years did you dirty because there was nothing positive. There was nothing that didn't reflect well on Chrissy Tegan at all. It wasn't a cute moment. And this is the thing where this goes to my theory, which I talked about a bit the other day with you about my theory that Harry's ghostwriter for Spare really hated him because he let so much stuff stay in the book. And if you really like your client, if you're ghostwriting, you're going to

say, I would strongly encourage you to reconsider this, like sleep on it, like take a few days. I don't think this will be good for you in the long run. And ultimately, it seemed like the guy was like, hey, have at it, man. Like, I'm kind of done with you. And I feel like Netflix is the same way with Megan, where it's like an executive, like an executive with eyes on this thing. would say we should really cut that out. Like, that doesn't look good for Chrissy, and it really doesn't look good for you. But my theories-

A show about family. A show, Megan's trying to make a good thing about family. It's like, first of all, your husband's MIA. What are your kids even look like? And your guests can't even remember their child's birthday? Get out of here. Well, I think that says it all, really. I think that's case closed, show canceled, moving on.

Wait, wait, before we move on, can I just say that in the Bloomberg interview, I feel like Megan takes like a little bit of a swipe at us because she insists that people love her Netflix show. And she claims that the people who criticize it are just trying to pay their bills. And she's like, if you can live like that, you know, at your detriment, that's fine. And I just wanted to say that I think it's a little ironic for Megan Markle to dismiss critics as just trying to pay their bills. when much of her own income over the last five years has come from criticizing the royal family, that strategy has paid her bills too.

And that's for her to sort out if she's comfortable doing it at Harry's family's detriment. You know, you've said this a million times. Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth died feeling under attack from their grandson and his wife. Some might call it elder abuse, but Harry and Megan might just call it paying the bills. You know what, Kinsey? Yeah, I never really planned to share this, but before Megan Markle hit the scene, I was actually homeless. Yeah, exactly.

I couldn't pay my bills. And I'm sure Megan's watching this. I hope you are. And, you know, we've been saving the Bloomberg interview. We're doing a whole segment on that next week. So come on back, sister, if you're watching, Megan, you know, we'd love, and by the way, Megan, you've got an open invite to come on the nerve. Anytime you like, if you've got some real guts, you'll come into R square.

Love it. Okay, so to another difficult mother in the culture, we've got Chrissy. We've got my opinion, Megan, Priscilla Presley. Now, this story has blown my mind. This is like the dark Hollywood stuff where you're like, can this be true? Can this be true? I've seen it in three different publications this week. It is part of an actual lawsuit. Now, Priscilla and Elvis's only daughter, their only child, Lisa Marie, died on January 12th, 23 at 54 years old. And what ensued was a major legal battle between Priscilla and Riley Keough, Lisa Marie's eldest daughter, Priscilla's granddaughter, for control of Graceland, Elvis's estate. And Riley won. And now we are beginning to understand what may have really transpired because Priscilla is being sued. The timing is phenomenal as Priscilla has a new memoir coming out. and I'm, hey, I have to, what we're about to report is very dark. That said, Elvis and me, her 1985 memoir, she had a co-writer.

I was going to say ghostwriter. She did have a co-writer. That is in the pantheon of celebrity memoirs. That thing was a blockbuster when it came out for every just absolute valid reason. But Priscilla is now making the rounds again. We requested, by the way, an advanced copy of Priscilla's memoir at the nerve. But we haven't heard back. So we're just going to have to wait until it comes out.

And we'll go through it then. But anyway, Kinsey, look and listen to Priscilla on the Australian Morning Show sunrise. And watch her demeanor again. If you guys are listening, try to tune into this part on the YouTube channel because her facial expressions, I think, are pretty telling. She is asked about her daughter's death, Australian sunrise. Here we go. Wow. It's still a little bit difficult for me, to be honest with you. It's a big loss and still shocking. You know, I mean, she was a wonderful daughter. She was very talented as well.

I think that, you know, looking back, she had issues that for her was difficult to face. And I'm trying to put it all together to, you know, how this happened, why it happened. And to be honest with you, she really didn't, after the loss of her son, she no longer wanted to be here. not that she did anything to herself but she just kind of gave up life and didn't really want to participate in and a lot of things that she usually did so i i saw somewhat coming but not to you know not to the point where you know she left us now the accusation in this lawsuit which riley has given a very toothless statement on alleges that when Lisa Marie was hospitalized after first responders found her unconscious and she was

on life support that Priscilla pulled the plug before Riley could even get there and against Lisa Marie's stated wishes in writing and I have them here I'll show them that she wanted every measure taken to prolong her life. What do you make of this? Well, I mean, I think that if you watch the rest of that interview, she bounces back real quick, Maureen. She's smiling and laughing and giggling right into the next question, which is really hard to stomach.

But in that, I mean, somebody asks you about how you're dealing with the death of your daughter, you don't start talking about their life struggles and how they didn't, they had no will to live. You say, I miss her immensely.

I've never been so proud. She's the greatest thing that I'd ever done. I think about her every day. I mean, I mean, I don't, I don't want to take away from her grief, but that was a really weird answer, especially when you're accused of pulling the plug on her. And don't forget that she did challenge Riley. And Riley settled with her because she knew that the expenses in fighting with an attorney would be way too much. Priscilla was going to drag it out. She's greedy. So they gave, according to these documents

for this new lawsuit, they helped Priscilla secure the still with Riley, where they gave Priscilla two $3.4 million and a seven-figure deal for Priscilla's white trash, heinous son, who was not related to the Presley dynasty in any way, shape, or form, who ripped into Lisa Marie regularly on social media. Reddit says when Ben died, he went on Instagram live and talked horribly about his half-nephew. I mean, this guy deserved zero, zero. I think Priscilla is the greediest and now. nastiest human ever. Ben, by the way, is Lisa Marie's son who died by suicide and whose death left her so bereft that she had his body moved back into her Casita and lived with it for about a month. I mean, she would go visit him every day, his body. Two other things strike me. One is

Priscilla Presley looks like an absolute ghoul there. She physically presents as a ghoul, like a bloodless, ghastly, pasty white, vampirically dark hair, ghoul, who when asked about her daughter and her death, cannot make eye contact with the hosts through the camera. Instead, she's looking down and she's looking away, and she's searching for words, and she's speaking a lot. And as you said, someone who was truly in mourning and in sorrow would say, yes, it's my daughter,

and I miss her every day. And I ask myself, where did I go wrong? Could I have done something differently? I wish she had reached out to me. Now, this idea that she pulled the plug prematurely before Riley could get there, the business partners, the ex-business partners who have brought the lawsuit, say that she did that so that she could regain control of Graceland. She's Queen of Graceland. Megan is Queen of England in her mind, and Priscilla is Queen of Graceland. And the Inquirer, people scoff at the Inquirer, but they do real shoe leather reporting.

They got the actual written documents where Lisa Marie Presley initialed vigorously, my choice to prolong life. It's here you can see it. And front to back, they're followed by exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point. So if Priscilla indeed said, pull the plug, I'm the mother, and in complete just disregard of Lisa Marie's legally stated wishes, then that you are. Or effed lady, I think. Yeah. And, you know, I think that there is reason for us to believe that Lisa Marie wanted Priscilla completely gone from her will and from Graceland.

Because don't forget, Lisa Marie had emailed Sophia Coppola multiple times about what she felt was a shocking and vengeful depiction of Elvis Presley in her screenplay for her Priscilla Presley movie that, you know, was going to be. a payday for Priscilla that I can't even remember what it was called. It was an awful movie. It's called Priscilla, I think. Yeah, I didn't enjoy it. I didn't like it. But Lisa Marie was saying in the emails to Sophia leading up to her death, because the movie came out after her death, but leading up to her death, she was like, I'm going to speak out against my mother. I'm going to speak out against this movie. I do believe Lisa Marie was like, I'm going to leave all this to my kids. My mom's greedy.

I don't like the way, what she's done with my father's legacy. By the way, a legacy, that she hijacked. This woman was divorced and then, you know, pushes Ginger Alden out of the way so that she can be the grieving widow. Ginger was Elvis's fiance at the time. Living at Graceland with him. Exactly. And so found Elvis on the toilet on the floor. Yeah. He just hijacks this whole, his whole legacy. I mean, you were divorced. You had a child with someone else. Move on. I know. It's her refusal to get rid of the name Presley. She wangled in her legal battle with Riley, who I feel terrible for. I can't believe she had to fight her grandmother legally for what was willed to her duly by her mother, control of Graceland.

Priscilla demanded that she get to be buried at Graceland in the family plot, and she will be buried there. I know. She's demented. To me, it's shades of Carol Radswell, like the widow Kennedy. You know, it's like you were married to a Bouvier, a lesser Kennedy in New York. It's over for you. move on with your life. But no, we have to, you know, dig up that corpse every minute we get. Or John and Carolyn's corpses, whatever. But cremains, as I said, this is, this is just, you know,

but anyway, it's where we are where we are. And Kinsey, I, I look forward to continuing to cover the Priscilla Presley case with you. Oh, thank you. I will always be in my TCB t-shirt when we talk, Elvis. I will always do that for you. I love it. My favorite Elvis T-shirt is Elvis in the 70s glasses with like the sideburns like before it really all went to seed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you for joining my friend. Have a great weekend. And I'll see you soon. Bye guys. Next up, troublemaker feedback. New troublemaker art. And another big announcement from your friends at the Central Nerva system. One of you, troublement. More than one of you guys suggested, we call it the central nervous system. And I like it. And we are going to crown the troublemaker of the month back in a minute.

Have you ever wondered what has happened to the legendary male movie stars of the 80s, like the Chuck Norris of the world? You know, I recently saw a video he made and I was shocked. He is in his 80s and he is still working out and staying active. Chuck is stronger, can work out longer, and has plenty of energy left over still for his grandkids. He says he still feels like he is in his 50s, and he did this by making one simple change. And his wife started doing it too, and she says she's never felt better either. She says she feels 10 years younger, her body looks leaner, and she has energy all day long. Chuck made a special video that explains everything.

So make sure you watch it by going to chuckdefense.com slash nerve or by clicking on the link below this video. It'll change the way you think about your health and you won't believe how easy it is. Chuck is 84 years old and I'd venture to say he has more energy than I do. He discovered that he could create dramatic changes to his health simply by focusing on three things that sabotage are. body as we age. That clip, if you're if you're not watching again, be sure to go take a look at this later. That comes to us from again, Troublemaker Heather T. And she sent that after we announced our forthcoming Emmy Night Live stream. And we're so excited that you're as excited as we're as we are. It's just it's all great stuff. Now we got a ton of feedback on our coverage of what really

really happened the night JFK Jr. crashed his plane. Not the sanitized fake CNN version, but the real story. And I know you guys wonder if we follow your comments on YouTube. We do. And I wish we could air all of them. There were so many great, smart, insightful comments. But here is a provocative sample. Troublemaker 1. I was about 22 years old and working in a department in store in Alabama when the Kennedy plane crash happened. My co-worker was middle-aged, semi-retired from New York, married to an air traffic controller. When I expressed shock over the tragedy, she gave me this look. Turns out her husband had worked at an air show JFK Jr. had participated in. He came in on the runway backwards. The guy was a privileged doofus and was not

respected at all in aviation troublemaker too. My husband is a pilot. He says every pilot needs both feet to function while the aircraft is on the tarmac while steering. JFK Jr., this troublemaker, has it slightly wrong. He was off, the cast had come off, but he was still on crutches. That is correct, troublemaker, the night of the flight due to a previous accident. That's the one where he was in the flying lawnmower, which plummeted to the earth, breaking his foot. That was a warning shot. This troublemaker continues. One crutch was found, and I don't know that this is true. I'm going to take this troublemaker's word for it, given to his sister Caroline from the crash debris. JFK Jr. was not instrument-rated true. Had he been, he could have flown through the dense fog that

night. Again, perhaps far more experienced pilots took a look at that haze and they decided they were in no way going up that night. You know, there's a saying in aviation, by the way, there are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots. Another, Anne Freeman, mother of the two sisters, Lauren and Carolyn, got a settlement out of JFK Jr's estate insurance money, yet the Kennedy's never pay out of their own pockets. She was also told she could not write her memoir or have any contact with media about her reckless son-in-law, JFK Jr., to which I can only say, I hope that Anne and other besets have written for history, their version of events, and that once they have passed, or they even feel that, like, in this current climate, an NDA would never be enforced because we've

matured so much as a culture and a society that their version definitely, definitely goes in the historical record as it should. As it should. This from Andy Kiwi, a big troublemaker always active in the live chats, if not leading them. Hi, Maureen. Suggestion, the upcoming live nerve show can be called the exposed nerve because we are all exposed in real time in live chat and live to air. And yes, I do. Know that you are, you, I know, Andy, that you are always here for the nerve live chat stream. Another raw nerve for the live. Can't wait. I like both equally exposed versus raw. What do you guys think? Let's winnow it down. Another. Oh, several of you corrected me. So I was like, JFK Jr. We played this clip where he was asked a question about all the

infighting up there at George. And he was like, what's the term of art? I, never heard term of art before, but a lot of you enlightened me. Excuse me. Enlightened me. It is something you learn in law school. It's a legal phrase. Maureen, term of art is a real phrase. It just means a specialized term in a particular field like plaintiff. John probably learned it while studying for the par for the 350th time. And this one, Maureen, I have a new respect for you after you read the email from the gay man who has medium slash psychic abilities, I am a sensitive slash empath as well. And it's true we cannot see our own life.

I've always been a bit embarrassed that I have this gift. Why? I think this would be an incredible gift to have. And though I don't fully understand it, I use it only when asked and to assist free of charge. Thank you. Thank you, troublemaker. I love that.

Now, now, it is time for us. to crown the troublemaker of the month. And today we recognize the contributions of one. There is a little tiny bug in here. I'm sorry, troublemaker. Today we recognize the contributions of one, Carrie R, who began writing to us back in June and designed on her own this incredible t-shirt.

And she took a photo of herself. She took several and emailed them to us. And her t-shirt reads, Maureen Callahan is my spirit animal. And she even sent me one, which obviously I cannot wear outside of the house unless I want to look like our favorite Sprightly, out of her mind, 900-year-old heroin. But it has a place of honor here at Nerve Central.

And for your selfless efforts, Carrie, we will be sending you your own special glass jar of matches. and these are the fuck around and find out variety. Congratulations, Carrie, on this major accomplishment. And that reminds us, another announcement for you guys, they're coming in hot. We're really moving along. And it's all because of you.

It's because you like and subscribe and spread the word. It's all because of you. We are weeks away from the nerve online shop being open for business. Yes, merch is weeks away. And unlike our Duchess, we know what we're doing. So when we say merch is for sale, it'll be for sale. Very exciting. Very exciting. Next up, a celeb roundup to get you into your weekend.

Our repeat offender escalates and our mini-nerve tease. But first, just a friendly reminder. Keep your emails coming. You can reach me at Maureen. at devil makeharemedia.com, or you can DM me on Instagram at Maureen Callahan Writer or at The Nerve Show. See you troublemakers in a minute. For years, we've been told wrinkle creams are the key to looking younger. But according to Dr. John Lakey, a Beverly Hills beauty expert, that is outdated advice. He claims most wrinkle products are just glorified moisturizers that barely improve your appearance.

and some may even harm your skin. So Dr. Lakey has shifted his focus from traditional cosmetic procedures to a new anti-aging method that some experts say could disrupt the beauty industry. His clients call it the age rewinder method, a do-it-yourself technique that can visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles in under two minutes. To share this breakthrough, Dr. Lakey released a free step-by-step video explaining how to use the method at home. This video has gone viral with over 2.3 million views and thousands of positive comments. One wrote best results of anything I've used. I cannot believe how well this works. I will never stop using this. To watch the video, go to B-H-M-D-1.com slash nerve or click the link in the description box below.

Dr. Lakey asks if this video helps you look or feel younger, please share it with others. Together, more people can discover this simple at-home solution. Visit b-h-md1.com slash nerve now. Welcome back. There is so much going on. It's hard to know where to begin. But let's start just for a little appetizer with some morning show. show-bittery. And I find this especially apt as Jennifer Aniston's terrible Apple series,

The Morning Show, is coming back for season four in a couple of weeks. And I think it's going to be our hate watch. In the way, the newsreader, the Australian TV show has become something of a collective just love watch. We all love the newsreader. Oh, by the way, speaking of Australia and Australians, there are a lot of you in Australia who love the nerve. I just got this thing. It's also Australian. This is not an advert. I just love it. It's called Good Kappa. It's this insulated, beautiful glass. It comes in like various sizes. It keeps cold things cold, hot you don't really want to do, I think, but it's sealed and it's beautiful. And it's got that kind of, it winnows down so you can put it in your car in the glass compartment. Some of these, they're like too wide at the bottom. And it's a little pricey. I found it online, but I just love it. And, you know, it's just another gift to the Australians have given us over here at the nerve. Again, not a paid sponsor. I just love it. Anyway, if morning shows, so like if Jennifer Aniston's morning show really got into the business of real talk about fake people, it would be a good show. It could potentially be a great show because fake people infest morning television. And like the dissonance is watching these people talking to you all morning long, smiling and smiling and smiling. What did I just see this morning on like the Today show? I saw three hosts interviewing one. guy about how inflammation is bad for you and watch your diet. Like a six-minute segment.

But, okay, so anyway, and then, you know, they segue into the fourth hour, which is hosted by your friend, your friend, Nepo Baby, Jenna Bush Hager. And so apparently, so Radar Online is reporting that head bitch in charge over at the Today Show, Savannah Guthrie, who's all smiles all the time, all smiles all the time is feuding, feuding with Jenna Bush Hager. Radar's headline, quote, serious tension, colon, bitter rivalry explodes on today's show set as one-time besties, Savannah Guthrie, and Jenna Bush, Hager, suffer major fallout. First of all, if you look at this side-by-side, it's hilarious because they have the exact same hair, the exact same. And that just goes to how unimaginative morning television is.

Secondly, apparently the cause of this feud is that Jenna on the air made a crack about not getting invited to Savannah's wedding like a decade ago. And Savannah was like, hey, we've been over this. It was a small wedding. What's your problem? This is the cause of a major war. You know, I mean, televise that. I'd rather watch that.

Let's watch Savannah and Jenna go out. it over this minutia, this bullshit. Now, on to Emma Willis, who originally we were going to do a little bit of a longer segment on her. And I'm just going to keep my eye on her right now. This is the much younger wife, second wife of Bruce Willis. And she sat down this week, it was Tuesday night for a one-on-one primetime special interview with Diane Sawyer. I have a lot to say about this, a lot. And as her. media tour progresses, we will build our case. But I'm going to tell you something. This woman walked onto the set, which looked like an upper level in the home that Bruce Willis's work

built. And she sat down and she's wearing no makeup. It's the no makeup makeup look. And she's wearing eyeglasses because we're very serious now and we're also a writer. So we've written a book about our husband's terrible disease, frontotemporal dementia, which has stolen everything from him. And we're going to monetize this shit. And we're going to show a lot of photos of Bruce in his decline. And we're going to talk a lot about him, even though he should be totally sacred and off limits. As I have shared with you guys, my mother has dementia. And it is a very close circle as to who sees her, who sees photos of her. and who knows what's going on with her. Because this disease steals everything,

but the worst thing it takes is your dignity. And I would never dream of sitting on TV on a primetime special and talking about what she's going through. Never. Or how hard it is for me. You know, it's just so gross. And she does all this while saying she's a total introvert. She's a total introvert,

but she's going to sit down with Diane Sawyer on ABC prime time and show family photos and photos of Bruce. You know, he's got that vacant look in his eyes. Vacant look. You know, they prop him up like weekend at Bernies and they try to move his head and get it to stay a certain way. And Bruce, could you just close your eyes so you look like you're in bliss as your second wife nuzzles and cranes her head into the nape of your neck so she can get a good shot for fucking Instagram. It's so disgusting. I hate it. I hate it. So we're not showing clips from that. We're not.

It's disgusting and she should be disgusted. And, you know, I'm curious to see what other media outlets have her on. And do not question her about this at all. Because far too many people in this country have been touched by some form of dementia. And they know the real story. So let's not pretend this woman is Florence fucking Nightingale. Now, we have more trouble for Bravo's Andrew Cohen. Okay.

And again, this is a drum. we're going to keep banging. We're hearing from people on the inside. Keep your stories coming. Keep your emails coming. Keep your tips coming. On the most recent episode of the real Housewives of Orange County, which at this point I'm keeping my eyes on out of like journalistic duty. Like if I had my way, I wouldn't be watching it anymore. That's how dark it is. Now, this week, I don't think, if I'm correct, I did not see a new episode that they aired on Wednesday night. And I'll tell you why. This is my theory.

The week before, there was an entire episode that revolved around one housewife named Katie, who is maintaining that her castmate Tamara in an older episode that we already covered on the nerve called Naked Wasted, a real housewives of Orange County episode called Naked Wasted, in which Gretchen plotted, sorry, in which Tamara plotted to get her younger, prettier castmate Gretchen, who was engaged to a man who was dying, by the way, at this time, super drunk, like blackout drunk, so that her creepy, rapy son Ryan, just my opinion, dead eyes, squirrely as fuck. Her son Ryan could try to get her alone upstairs in a bathroom, which he did, closed door, camera crew just standing there recording it all trying to have his way with her she was so drunk

and she got her way out of it but katy says that gretchen also said later that she was roofied that night and i'm going to talk about how diabolical how even more diabolical this gets on the back end of this clip let's listen to katie let's be clear gretchen and slade told jen ryan matt and i at master's The night of naked wasted. She felt sick, got up in the morning, went to the hospital. They did a toxicology report, and they found drugs in her system. That's it. Now, I believe Katie.

Now, the coven over there is trying to paint Katie as a liar, as a constant liar. But Katie told that story in a very direct, succinct, clear, controlled manner. I believe her. That's how truth tell her sound. And I believe that what she is saying is true that Gretchen went to the hospital after that night. She was so sick. And they ran a talk screen at the hospital. She was so sick.

She had to go to the emergency room after shooting a stupid reality show on Bravo. And they ran a talk screen. And it turned out, according to Katie, Gretchen said she was roofied that night. Somebody roofied her drink. Could it have been Tamara, the dead-eyed Tamara, who will do anything to stay on television, even if that means sacrificing a relationship with her daughter from whom she has been estranged over this show for years? Now, here's what they do on these shows, and it's sinister, and it's become so normalized.

They try to move the viewer's ball, the eyeball over here. And so the debate they're trying to really stoke over here is whether Katie is talking out of school by bringing this up. Is whether Katie is betraying the cast by talking to a journalist or a blogger outside the group. Whether Katie is trying to force Tamara off the show, Tamara, who's currently playing victim, whether Gretchen is going to stand up for herself or if she needs the job so much or she needs to be on TV so much that she's going to play a ball and just say, well, I never really said that. I think it's absolutely true.

You can go back and look at that thing. And by the way, this is the question I have. How is it that the police up in Orange County don't open an investigation when they see a woman being coaxed into drinking to the point where she's nearly date raped on camera? You know, if they had, they probably could have gotten access to Gretchen's talk screen. And we would know if a crime had been committed that night. Crimes are getting committed all over Bravo, and these women are being placed in physical and sexual danger. And, you know, Andy doesn't give two shits, Andrew Cohen. Why don't you answer to this?

Why don't you answer to this when you get back from your vacation in the Hamptons or yachting with Barry Diller and his wife, the gay Barry Diller, who's heterosexual so in love with his wife. if they have hot sex all the time. Why don't you talk about that when you get back from that trip, huh? I'd love it. We'd love it at the nerve. And, you know, we'll keep eating this drum. Okay, now, on to our final offender of the day.

And another who keeps escalating. It's one Bill Maher, who this week had as his podcast guest, Barbara Eden, the beloved Barbara Eden from I Dream of Jeannie. Barbara turned 94 just days ago. And she comes into Bill's den. You know how we feel about the den. She is nonetheless the epitome of grace and class.

And you can tell that she went over to this interview in good faith, that she was being interviewed by somebody who liked and respected her. She's 94. Okay. She's paid her fucking dues in that town. Okay. And we're doing this segment, by the way, in large part because so many of you troublemakers, emailed and DMed us to alert us to this particular episode of Club Random that we needed to see it and to cover it. And if you go look at my Instagram, Maureen Callahan writer, I also included in my carousel some of the feedback underneath Bill's episode, this particular episode, because you all alerted me that even his fans were like, Bill, what the fuck?

Here we go. Bill, the great feminist, pressing Barbara on sexism. Even in the 60s, the way, especially in show business, what people got away with, especially a haughty like you. I mean, they must have, everybody must have been taking their shot. And some, I'm sure, in a way that you could never get away with today. I did not have a problem. Come on. No, I didn't. Nobody ever just took their pants off?

Nope. Really? No. So that's the beginning. And, you know, my heart sinks when I look at her expression after he says, while picking his nose, the epitome of a gentleman, nobody ever just took their pants off in front of you. And she looks down and she goes, no. No. You can tell she knows where this is going.

Now, again, as much as he ever does, Bill does not do research for his. podcast. And by the way, he's got a staff, okay? He could task someone with doing a modicum of research to know the bare bones about his guests. So they don't have to inform him about basic biographical facts, such as Barbara has been married to the same man for 36 years. Bill moves on undeterred to give Barbara a backhanded compliment. I mean, no one thinks you're 35, but I mean, I mean, like, you're just... Why not? No, but you're just like...

All I'm trying to do, I'm almost 70, is just be on TV generically late middle age. That's as good as you can get. You just don't want people turning on the TV and going, oh, who's that old guy? You know, just don't think about it at all. I mean, you still have that quality era, which is pretty amazing. Oh, thank you.

You could play somebody's mother who's middle age. Oh, my God. He starts by saying, one thinks you're 35. And he ends by saying, you could play somebody's mother, which in Hollywood to an actress, everybody knows is one of the most insulting things you could say to them. I mean, that's crazy in and of itself, but you know what I'm saying. And then Bill, in the sandwich of those two insults, says, hey, you know, I'm 70. So first of all, Barbara Eden is old enough to be his mother, okay? He sits there and says, I'm 70. I'm just trying to be on TV generically and have

nobody say like, oh, there's that old guy. You know what, Bill? We're all fucking saying it now. There's that old purve. There's that old guy who still hasn't gotten the memo about how you talk to women in 2025. At least give it a shot, try to hide how creepy and misogynistic you are. And Barbara, by the way, she keeps trying to redirect the conversation into something more substantial than her looks. And what a beauty she was back then. You know, she talks about being a big, reader as a child and how when she was little and young, she would go to the library and get like four books a week. And I so relate to this part of her story, it's really sweet. And that tells you something about a kid who's a big reader. You know, their mind is going places that need to be fertilized, right? But Bill does not give a shit. No, what is the most important thing that she was hot? Here we go. When did everyone catch on you were so hot?

Hot? Yeah. I mean... You know what? I don't know because... Come on. No, honestly. School?

Come on. Uh-uh. I'll stop. I mean, you must have been like such a smoke show in high school. A smoke show? I like that. You can have it. Okay, I want to be a smoke show.

You are a smoke show. Oh, God. But it must have... I mean, come on. She's trying to politely laugh him off of this stuff. Because if she opens that door for him and not that it would be her fault, then he's going to want to know when she lost her virginity and what her, like, that's the kind of guy you're dealing with you. You're dealing with the lonely, sad purve, who's by himself every night at the end of the bar, parked there because at least the bartender will have to talk to him. Now, Barbara talks about the concept of I Dream of Genie.

You know, she was the genie in a bottle. And she would, you could, you know, bring her out of the bottle. And she's trying to get it something about the period, about 1960s America, about where women were, about where feminism was and sexism was. And she talks about to Bill, she's trying to go a little deeper. And she talks about Jeannie's quote unquote master, the man of the house, knowing that Jeannie wasn't human. And she was trying to imply, and anybody who's paying attention would get it, that the master would have sex with her anyway and how creepy that was, right?

Because it's not an actual female. But Bill blows right past this, because you know what we got to talk about? we've got to talk about Bill Marr seeing his first playboy magazine when he was a babysitter. First of all, Bill Maher is a babysitter. Could you imagine? The guy cannot shut up about how much he hates babies and hates kids. And in fact, first of all, I'm just going to tell you while I was watching this and Marlena took a lot of the hits for this. And she's got a thing for Bill and I'm trying to help her through it.

She won't listen. We may have to just bring her on to get her through it. together. But I actually was feeling nauseated listening to this. He told Drew Barrymore a couple of weeks ago that he's never even held a baby. And I don't think he was trying to be funny. It's all just very sad. It's very sad. So anyway, Bill now goes on to talk about male maturity because who better. And I truly, truly hold a thought for Barbara here. And men take an especially long time to mature. to the degree that they even do.

I guess. Wouldn't you agree with that? I just think it's great. I love that part about a man. I think men who are manly, you know, and suddenly you discover that they care, or they're crying in the movie. You'll see a tear come down on the chair.

I love it. Oh, nothing wet and spandies like that. I think that I'm pretty. pretty hard to shock. So first of all, my inner grammarian is astonished that he said and appalled that he said nothing wetens panties like that. He said W-E-T-T-E-N-S, not a word, but he said that to Barbara Eden. As she's talking about the kind of guy that she likes, who is like an old-school macho guy

who can show emotion, basically the antithesis of Bill. And Bill knows it. So he's got a shiver. He's got to shiv Barbara Eden and say nothing wetts panties like that. And what he means is to Barbara, nothing would wet your panties like that. He is disgusting. Disgusting. Now let's hear Bill on what, this is great.

I find this very interesting. Bill's going to talk about what makes a hot guy, a hot guy. I tell you, the male stars of the 60s and 70s. Yeah. They were hot. Like in a way, they forgot how to be. Robert Conrad, come on. Tell me you didn't have a little crush on Robert Conrad.

I'm going to tell you those guys from the 60s who was hot. I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying. Now, Bill has to tell Barbara because he never tires of this. Like all insoles, they perseverate. They perseverate on the girls who would never give them the time of day, which is just about every girl going. And the problem with girls who just won't sleep with the nice guy. And it's all their fault that guys like him are fucking angry and miserable.

Here we go. There's in cells. Oh, yeah. Those are guys. you know, that is involuntarily celibate. They're guys who can't get laid, which, you know, no shame. I used to be an in-cell.

We didn't have a name for it. I didn't want to advertise that I can't get laid. Yeah. And when I join a club with other fucking losers who can't get laid. I just, it was like you can't get laid. Well, do something about it. You know, I masturbated and plotted how I could get better.

Okay. And I don't do that today. They just hate on the way. They blame the way. They blame the women. Yeah. And the women are like, men are, forget it. There's a whole movement now.

You know, like just, they're just irredeemable. You're not going to bring them along. And all of this plays right into the hands of the guys who least need to get laid. Because in a world where women are so cynical about men that they think, why even try, you might as well just fuck the cute guy. You might just fuck the fuck boy. So it just makes the problem worse. Yeah, I guess.

I haven't thought about it. I'm really speechless. Like I'm kind of a gog. He tells Barbara Eden, who doesn't want to know this stuff? I don't want to know this stuff. That he was such an in-cell in school that what he would do was just go home and masturbate. He uses the word masturbate in front of her. this is supposed to be like a softball fun interview i would think going through barbara's life and

legacy that bill's trouble getting laid in fucking high school and how um it's a real problem now because girls just want to they'd rather today in bill's part i'm using his parlance fuck the cute guy bill it's always been that way it's been ever thus we want good looking guys that's how it is It's called evolution. And it's the reason why you're so intent on getting rich and famous. It's the only way you could get girls or black hookers. Tomato, tomato. Anyway, Bill goes on to tell Barbara Eden,

94-year-old Barbara Eden, that she should be on OnlyFans. And I have a plan for you to go on OnlyFans. There's a question. You know how, oh, you could make. a fortune on only fans i'll manage it i'll be the manager i'll take a very reasonable 20 now she's laughing along and this is before she admits that she doesn't know what only fans is but i'm going to tell you at this point in the interview she knows that bill is degrading her okay let's go you know what only fans right you what only fans right only fans

What that is? Are you my only fan? No, there's a whole organization, a whole website called OnlyFans. Oh, no, I don't know about that. No? No. Oh. No.

Sit down. Okay. No, even deeper. Sit even lower. Okay. Okay. Gratting her. This is not going to come as good news.

Okay. Well, I mean, it's a website that advertises as a place where people can do anything, show you how to cook or write poetry. It's women masturbating or showing their vaginas to men who are paying them electronically to watch them. And it's very, very popular and millions of women. It's a big thing. Hasn't it always been that?

No, not like this. I mean, there weren't millions of American women. Okay, that's it. I can't do this anymore. I can't even listen to Bill Maher do this to Barbara Eden anymore. He was extremely graphic. he was extremely disgusting he was disparaging

he's insulting her that's a guest in his house I don't care if that's your studio whatever it is it's your house and she's a guest there and he's being disgusting and you know we've been beating this drum on Bill Maher ever since he gave his

editorial at the end of real time months ago during the Diddy trial and said that women were to blame for not leaving the first time the man in their life hits them and it's our fault and this guy He has it fucking coming.

Just keep going, Bill. Please keep fucking going. I hope that the executives at HBO are reading the comments. And, you know, in his YouTube feed, I hope they understand the legion of people who are growing over here at the nerve who are repulsed by this stuff. And it bums me out because I used to really love real time with Bill Maher. And increasingly, I am finding it difficult to watch it through any other lens than this guy's, misogyny and his insistence that of everyone on his set, no matter who he invites, he's the only one who's right. And by the way, I think he's only had two women on his show

since we did that piece on his disparagement and victim blaming of women who are trying to get out of domestic abuse situations, which are incredibly difficult and dangerous to extricate oneself from. So anyway, keep going, Bill. Okay? Thanks for giving. us plenty of fodder over here at the nerve. That'll do it. That'll do it. And that was a catharsis. It really was. A couple of quick notes before we get to the mini-tees. It's Labor Day weekend. So since it is an extended holiday, we will be returning not next Tuesday, but with a full show on Wednesday of next week. So it'll be Wednesday and Friday of. next week for full nerves. And of course, in between, we have the mini for you. Now, this mini,

Emily has been MacGyvering an entire set of props and things that are going to augment a very Americana themed mini that is also going to hit on some of the biggest breaking celebrity news of the week. I don't know if you can guess what it is, but you guys are smart. You might have figured it out already. So that drops on Saturday at 10 a.m. Eastern. Remember, the minis for now are only over on YouTube. And I know you guys like to congregate there. And, you know, Andy, Kiwi, we see you at the nerve. And that's it. That's it. So we will see you at the mini. and then we will see you Wednesday for a full nerve where you will never guess what we're about to say next.
