Summary

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.
