The Nerve's Hair-Raising Halloween Special: Chilling Tales, Ghostly Guests, and Spiritual Connections

Maureen welcomes Bill from Brooklyn who shares chilling stories about living in a house where a spirit made several attempts to make her presence known, including thunderous footsteps and a radio turning on by itself. Maureen also discusses a message Bill received from their late father that offered guidance with a big decision. Maureen is later joined by Shannon Taggart, a photo-artist whose work explores the intersection of spirituality and the supernatural. Together they discuss the case of a young girl in Georgia named Heidi Wyrick, who was visited regularly by two spirits throughout her childhood.

Gwyneth and Apple Flaunt Their Insufferable Nepo Life and "The Morning Show" Pushes DEI Storyline

She also rips Gwyneth for her bewildered response to being voted the most hated celebrity in the world by Time magazine. Then Maureen fires up the woodchipper for Gwyneth's entitled spawn Apple Martin for her non-convincing testimonial about being a life-long consumer of the GAP and her cringey attempt to sing while on stage with her other famous parent, Chris Martin.

J.Lo's Pity Party On Howard Stern and Meghan Markle's Ludicrous Interview at Fortune Summit

On this episode of The Nerve At Night, Maureen Callahan presents detailed evidence in the prosecution of two repeat offenders. First on the docket is cultural offender J.Lo who stated her case during a recent Howard Stern interview, where she proclaimed that she has never been truly loved by any of the men she's had relationships with. Maureen counters this claim with video statements made by J.Lo's exes, along with eyewitness reports that corroborate their stories. Then, Maureen examines the latest evidence from an offender with the highest recidivism rate The Nerve has ever seen - Meghan Markle. It was a challenge to translate the word salad that was offered by Ms. Markle during her softball interview at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit, but Maureen enlisted her highly trained ear and investigative skills to identify the holes in her alibi.
