  • Do better

    Only a self loathing person could spend their time and platform with the sole purpose of attacking people who they know nothing about. What a hateful podcast… exactly what’s wrong in the world today.

    Just my opinion.

  • Wut. Why?

    I was fine listening to this podcast when there was nothing else to catch up on—until Maureen went after Nate Bargatze for no reason. She couldn’t connect the dots on the issue but still made wild, baseless assumptions, all “off a feeling.” That was it for me.

    I tried to give her a chance because I love Megyn Kelly, but Maureen comes across as loud, smug, and mean just for the sake of being mean. Not my kind of show.

  • Don’t hate on Nate

    Loving the show, totally disagree about Nate. It’s refreshing to have a comedian like him. Loving all the scoops about Harry and Megan

  • A troubled troublemaker

    I have been listening to Maureen’s podcast for a few weeks. Lots of laughs about the AJLT series. I do get tired of her very negative rants. When i listen to her in the morning, I am sure my neighbours think that I am a krank. Lots of good material, just wish the delivery was not so harsh.

    You lost me with your nasty comments about Rosie O’Donnell. Beware the moralists? Look in the mirror, Maureen.
