Summary

Maureen skewers Bill Maher's jaw dropping commentary during his "New Rules" monologue where he unapologetically blames women for not escaping their abusers soon enough, blasting the lists of reasons he gives for why victims of abuse should know better. She also takes a swipe at the premiere episode of "And Just Like That," with its unrealistic plot lines and feeble attempt to keep Sarah Jessica Parker's character interesting. And then Maureen is joined by Mike Albo, author of "Underminer," to discuss toxic characteristics in friendships.
