    Tensions Rise for Blake and Ryan, Hoda Kotb Gets Comfy at ‘Today,’ & Lena Dunham's Dark Pet Past

    Maureen Callahan is joined by celebrity reporter Rob Shuter to dish on the shredding fabric behind the scenes at the Today Show, Hoda getting too comfortable in Savannah Guthrie’s chair and how the morning show hosts perpetuate a facade of being “one big family." Maureen and Rob also dish on Blake Lively showing up to court alone for the Justin Baldoni saga, how that move may have handed Baldoni the winning optics, and why Ryan Reynolds appears to be a liability. They also conduct a takedown of Meghan and Harry, whose privacy crusade clashes with a strategic Instagram reveal of their children, raising new questions about fame, control, and who is leading the charge in that marriage. Then, Maureen eviscerates Katie Couric for her tasteless V-day post, dives into fiery Troublemaker feedback, delivers a certified update on the Nerve-y Valentine mailed to Stedman Graham, and closes with a scorching takedown of Lena Dunham’s latest Vanity Fair feature, calling her out on her dark history with animals and treatment of several pets that she has hoarded and discarded.

    Meghan Markle’s Media THIRST, Harry’s Popularity Plummet, and JFK Jr.’s Marriage Portrayal Fantasy

    Maureen Callahan lays into the lame GMA interview featuring the actors portraying JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette in Ryan Murphy’s FX series “Love Story,” pointing to their lack of knowledge and research into the roles they were chosen for. She then tears into the first three episodes, calling out the glossy revisionism and glaring inaccuracies, including their bungled first meeting and baffling depiction of Jackie O. Maureen also takes shots at Hoda’s tone-deaf Valentine’s Day Instagram reel before diving into a pile Troublemaker mail. Later, Maureen is joined by Kinsey Schofield, host of “Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered,” to slam Meghan Markle’s relentless media thirst, her solo gala appearance, and sitting courtside at an All-Star NBA game. They also pounce on Prince Harry’s once sky-high speaking fees getting a major price cut and the overall desperation of the gruesome twosome.

    Ryan Reynolds' ATOMIC Texts, Silent Clues in Guthrie Investigation, and a Very Nerve-y Valentine

    Maureen Callahan is joined by body language expert and TRUTHPLANE founder Mark Bowden to take a deeper look at the images, video footage, and people involved in the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mom. They analyze the Guthrie siblings’ composure, the staging of the video plea, the Nest cam footage of the suspected intruder, and Hoda Kotb as she gets cozy in Savannah’s Today Show seat. Maureen then pauses to pay tribute to James Van Der Beek before pivoting to slam Sheinelle Jones’ tone-deaf Instagram post in the wake of Savannah’s emotional tribute to her mother. Maureen also reads Troublemaker mail calling out Hoda’s today show return, sharing stories of Oprah’s alleged snub toward fans, and rallying behind Savannah Guthrie while she navigates a living nightmare. Maureen then unveils a very Nerve-y Valentine to Stedman Graham, complete with emergency flares, rations, and a plea to escape Oprah and Gayle while he still can. She closes out the show with a blistering takedown of texts from Ryan Reynolds unearthed in court docs in the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni saga, exposing ego, entitlement, and vindictive posturing as Blake heads to court solo.

    FBI Releases BONE-CHILLING Images in Guthrie Investigation While Hoda Takes Over Savannah’s Chair

    Maureen Callahan is joined by criminal defense attorney and "MK True Crime" contributor Phil Holloway, who is on the ground in Tucson as the search for Nancy Guthrie continues. Together they dissect the details revealed in the footage released by the FBI from Nancy Guthrie's front door Nest cam, including the images of a masked man wearing leather gloves, a backpack and carrying a visible gun, trying to block the camera lens with his hand before pulling vegetation from the ground and attempting to affix it to the device. Maureen points out that facial hair can be seen around the mouth and that this person seems familiar with the house, as if he has been there before. Then Maureen brings in renowned criminal defense attorney and "MK True Crime" contributor Arthur Aidala to the discuss the next steps in the investigation, the absurdity of the FBI refusing to call the person in the Nest cam images a suspect, and why it has taken so long to get to this point in the case.

    Looming Suspicions in Guthrie Search, the DARK Psychology of the Reiner Case, & Origins of Parricide

    Maureen Callahan is joined by Professor Sam Vaknin for a disturbing, deep dive into parricide and the psychological forces that can turn children against their parents. Together they examine how rebellion and resentment can quietly build inside families, how negative identity formation in adolescence and the pressure to uphold a perfect family image can lead children to erase themselves, how entitlement, personality disorders, money, and power factor into these dynamics, and how these patterns connect to the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner. Professor Vaknin also explains why estrangement and “no contact” have become culturally normalized, why parents increasingly find themselves presumed guilty by default, and how perpetrators of parricide often enter a dissociative blackout. Maureen then turns to Troublemaker mail on Peter Attia’s vile messages to Jeffrey Epstein and why viewers say CBS should cut ties with him, Deepak Chopra's alarming connection and disturbing correspondence with Epstein, Gayle King’s desperate spotlight-grabbing, Hoda’s reemergence amid Savannah Guthrie’s family crisis, and a harrowing account from a Tucson local detailing the Pima County Sheriff’s history of mishandled cases and how the Nancy Guthrie investigation feels disturbingly familiar.

    Maureen Callahan is joined by criminal defense attorney and “MK True Crime” contributor Phil Holloway to break down the most troubling developments in the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, including Savannah’s video plea, the uneasy family dynamics on display, drone footage of law enforcement collecting evidence, the credibility of the ransom note, and mounting questions around missed investigative steps and a shifting timeline. Maureen then sits down with Ashleigh Banfield, veteran journalist and host of the "Drop Dead Serious" podcast, who stands firmly behind her reporting of a possible suspect, despite some media backlash, talks about her reliable law enforcement source, makes parallels to the Kohberger case and points to what emerging facts suggest about Nancy Guthrie's abduction. Later in the show, Maureen calls out Jenna Bush Hager for talking up faith, friendship, and community while ditching a vigil for Savannah's mom in NYC and watches it online instead.

    Maureen Callahan discusses the lack of details in the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie's mom, slamming the Sheriff's media appearances for his inability to disclose information responsibly, and the mainstream media for their softball line of questioning. Then Maureen takes shots at Peter Attia for his crude emails to Jeffrey Epstein and his lengthy public apology that was littered with excuses.

    Maureen Callahan is joined by celebrity reporter Rob Shuter to break down the disturbing moments at this year's Grammy Awards, including Justin Bieber's unhinged performance in his underwear and socks, Heidi Klum's red carpet look in a nude plastic dress that she could barely walk in, Chappell Roan completely topless and covered in fake tattoos, and the general darkness that hovered over the entire award ceremony. Rob also delivered exclusive details on Taylor Swift's wedding plans, celebs that made the guest list, and Don Lemon's desperation to stay in the spotlight. Then Maureen pays a heartfelt tribute to the comedic genius of Catherine O'Hara, who passed away suddenly this past week, honoring her legendary talent and the characters she brought to life. Then she changes gears, slamming Gayle King for her self-centered social media posts at the Grammys, bragging about her backstage access and who she was rubbing elbows with.
