Summary

Maureen Callahan is joined by Jillian Michaels, host of “Keeping It Real,” to rip apart a New York Times article pushing GLP-1 drugs for pets, exposing big pharma’s total lack of boundaries and calling out celebrities like Ariana Grande, Jessica Simpson, and Meghan Trainor for using the drugs despite never being obese. 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. Then Maureen stages an intervention for Producer Marlaina in an effort to break her Bill Maher fixation, pointing to his long record of misogyny while Marlaina counters her argument with evidence that support her unwavering admiration.
