The Nerve with Maureen Callahan

Maureen Callahan unloads on the massively-successful "The Let Them Theory" and Mel Robbins, how the premise is terrible and ridiculous, the self-defeating philosophy at the center of it, Robbins' lack of self-awareness, and the overall self-help genre aimed at women. Plus, the irresponsible way celebrities like Oprah talk about Ozempic, and the dangerous side effects. And Maureen's brother "Bill From Brooklyn" joins to talk about Ben Affleck's hall of fame tabloid history and his grumpiest moments with J. Lo, bizarre Diddy media coverage, Rosie O'Donnell's Trump-related issues, and more.

This conversation features Erin Foster, a behavioral analyst specializing in aggression and bullying, and Susannah Cahalan, bestselling author of "Brain on Fire" and "The Acid Queen." They delve into a shocking hazing incident involving Jon Hamm, revealing the darker side of celebrity culture. The duo also tackles the complexities of adult female friendships, illustrating how 'mean girls' can evolve and become more challenging over time. Through compelling anecdotes, they highlight the emotional impact of these dynamics and the importance of compassion in relationships.
