Full Episode
Hello, and welcome to the Friday edition of The Nerve. I am Maureen Callahan. I am wearing for you today my Shut Your Mouth t-shirt. Maybe you should hold your tongue and think quietly about whether you should continue that thought t-shirt, and you're going to see why in our first big discussion, which you're going to love having, I think. Okay, so coming up, we have another great show today.
We have the one and only Megyn Kelly. your friend and mine. She will be here and we are going to talk about stuff you'll never see coming. And I promise you we are not going to bang on about becoming newly minted astronauts like a certain insufferable morning show host slash Oprah appendage.
And then we will take a look at, you and I that is, at a classic reality TV makeover show that has come back as a woke adjacent, body positive, non-binary, judgment-free zone. It is the what not to wear redo as a fashion, as we discussed the other day, is such an accepting place. Okay, first, we need to talk about Michelle Obama.
We need to talk about Michelle Obama and one of the most epic, sustained midlife crises happening in the public square in quite some time. Okay, so she gave an interview the other day. You know, she's got this new podcast, and in promoting this podcast, which I – do not think is doing well.
She talks to her brother and they're not lighting the world on fire with these conversations because neither one of them are really that bright or really that interesting or original. So we have to get some eyeballs, we have to generate some headlines. And so Michelle has now been appearing on other people's podcasts.
to promote said podcast, which I think is called IMO, in my opinion, which is a terrible name. It tells me nothing. And frankly, after hearing Michelle bang on about her misery lo these many months, I don't really want to hear your opinion, Michelle. Sorry, I don't. So she goes on this guy Jay Shetty's show. And if you don't know Jay Shetty, he is this very striking looking guy.
He has these piercing blue eyes. He is something of a self-help guru. He probably clogs up your algorithm on Instagram and he married Ben and J-Lo 2.0. And that did not work out so well. So anyway, Michelle goes on Jay's podcast and she uses a very interesting word to describe what is going on in her life right now. Take a look.
And at this phase of my life, I'm in therapy right now because I'm transitioning. I'm 60 years old. I've finished a really hard thing in my life with my family intact. I'm an empty nester. My girls are in... They've been launched. And now for the first time, as I've said before, every choice that I'm making is completely mine.
I now don't have the excuse of, well, my kids need this or my husband needs that or the country needs that.
