Talk To Me Taylor

Between 8 hours debating Andrew Wilson myself and watching the 4-hour PBDebate circus on Charlie Kirk today, I spent the time so you didn't have to. Here are some thoughts on the Candace Owens–Andrew Wilson spectacle, the grift surrounding it, and why so much of today’s antics feels like it could have been an email. Plus, Hollywood’s latest culture wars, reflecting just that, with Evan Jackson of Young, Bold, and Regal.

Tonight on TTMT: everyone's impressive commitment to mental gymnastics of fitting in a box. From the Karoline Leavitt news to the WNBA's identity crisis, my new Evie column, a throwback Charlize Theron story, and latest Apple TV+ junket interview with the male showrunner of Women in Blue. Why real female empowerment means refusing to play a role.

I’ve officially found my unlikely, egg-freezing sister in AOC, and somehow that led me to Matt Walsh's Quaker Oats morality, relating to the show Beef's Gen Z (I know), holding hands with Hollywood (ft. Apple TV interview), and the swatting of the hive mind. My thesis tonight: maybe the most radical thing left is seeing the humanity in people who are supposed to be your arch enemy.

My friend Joe Francis (creator of Girls Gone Wild) comes on to give his unfiltered take on Perez Hilton. And... just wow. But after your much-needed matcha and Tylenol from watching: did Joe change your perspective at all?

Survey says: We're not okay. Commentator BlackRant and I are talking Perez Hilton, influencer brain rot, the Nantucket basket meltdown, and why everyone desperately needs to touch grass.

I got called out for holding back... so here's what happens when I stop. Influencers, algorithms, censorship, my career, my existential crisis. Consider this my factory reset. Starting with my nail falling off.

Follow the science... straight into the algorithm? Tonight I sat down with the authors of "How the Internet Disrupted Science" for a fascinating conversation on how Big Tech, AI, and influencers arguably... broke science. We didn't agree on everything, and I definitely pushed back and asked the questions people are thinking, but that's exactly the point. A real conversation to get to discovery. Imagine that!

What if Obsession isn't just a horror movie, it's a mirror? Tonight we unpack why so many of us feel trapped inside algorithms, politics, Hollywood, and the boxes the world tries to force us into. Plus: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey diversity checklist, Supergirl controversy, The Rock's political pivot, and why authenticity is becoming the last real rebellion.

I've spent years telling you not to trust the fake. Now I'm not sure we can trust the authentic either. Celebrity breakups, secret weddings, authenticity theater, and the ugly truth that "being real" may be the biggest performance of all.

We don't have conversations anymore. We have extremes. From body positivity and Ariana Grande to trad wife culture and social media bans for kids, I'm asking the question nobody wants to answer: who actually benefits when nuance dies?
