They also slam Oprah for her body positivity messaging while also promoting the use of GLP1s. Maureen also addresses the tragic deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, and reflects on his legendary filmmaking career while skewering the attention seekers who insert themselves into the news coverage in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy.

The holidays can feel more like a chore for some when strained relations and old behavioral patterns emerge during family gatherings. In this special episode of The Nerve, Maureen Callahan is joined by Psychology Professor Sam Vaknin to discuss how a growing number of people are applying extreme measures to these difficult family dynamics and why in many cases, it is not a solution. They explore the toxic trend of going "no contact," a concept that is being normalized through social media and is bolstered by narcissism. Then Maureen and Sam do a deep dive into the role of the "golden child" and the "scapegoat," differentiating between the two, identifying the origins of each, how they can shift and become interchangeable and how these roles affect sibling relationships.Professor Sam Vaknin - https://www.youtube.com/samvakninCovePure: Give the perfect holiday gifts with CovePure and get $250 off at https://CovePure.com/NERVE Oxford Natural: To watch their full stories, scan the QR code on your screen or visit https://oxfordnatural.com/nerve/ to get 70% off your first order when you use code NERVE.

Maureen Callahan goes off on Jason Bateman's Esquire interview that fully displays his true colors as a complete douchebag (his words).

Then Maureen exposes past incidents where Jason bullies a former child actor, throws his friend under the bus to a police officer, and inappropriately gushes over Jen Aniston. Maureen also takes apart Timothée Chalamet's latest public display of stupidity and shares the details on why Steven Spielberg refuses to work with Ben Affleck. Later in the show, Maureen is joined by celebrity makeup artist Tim McKay for a hate-watch session of "The Beast In Me," including a full breakdown of Claire Danes' over used cry face.Pique: Find calm and radiant health this holiday with Pique’s Sun Goddess Matcha—science-backed wellness for energy, immunity, and glowing skin, plus 20% off for life at https://Piquelife.com/THENERVEAware House: Visit https://awarehouseshop.com/discount/THENERVE & use code THENERVE for 15% off your first order.120Life: Go to https://120Life.com and use code NERVE to save 15% Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Then Maureen goes off on a new lineup of tone-deaf celebrities who are in Saudi Arabia for The Red Sea International Film Festival and scoffs at SJP as this year's Booker Award judge.

Then she unleashes on Oprah's recent roundtable on family estrangement, showcasing individuals who have gone the way of "not contact " with their families and her decision to post the discussion online right before the long Thanksgiving weekend.

Maureen- Adore you and in it to win it with you. Karen read is unlikeable, but your analysis of the case is deeply lacking.
