Talk To Me Taylor

If anyone has its shit together... it's not the NFL. An eye-opening look at the organization, Deshaun Watson, and priorities. Here's the conversation people aren't having and the questions worth exploring around the NFL's current and "most egregious" case of alleged ongoing sexual assault by the Cleveland Browns star quarterback. We've seen it in entertainment and in politics, and yet again it's a David and Goliath situation -- one that involves optics, race, Hollywood cowardice, money, entitlement, fame, elitism, power, and the underdog. Joining me for the unfiltered convo are: longtime sports exec David Meltzer and LA sports journalist Nick Hamilton. 

Your local great white shark ain't got shit when going up against a capable hottie. Aussie Teressa Liane (The Vampire Diaries) is here to talk about her summer thriller, the very Jaws-esque The Reef: Stalked, as we hit: hot girl horror tropes, the viral bikini meme that made everyone feel a type of way, survival mode of going up against a great white.... the great white that is our lives, and more. The Reef: Stalked is in theaters and streaming on Shudder. 

Just call me Christina Aguilera because I'm a genie in a bottle giving you the ep you've been wanting. As someone who's literally bonded with Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney over our big boobs, I'm dissecting, well, the Sydney Sweeney of it all and why her statements ain't doing millennials, women, or the blonde stereotype any damn favors.

Former Hollywood actress (Modern Family, New Girl) turned marketing extraordinaire (featured at SXSW, by Glamour, etc) Kelsey Formost is back for PART 2 of our fascinating conversation on the inner working of manipulation and power in none other than... show business, baby!!! Kelsey reveals why she full-on walked out of an audition for a famed horror franchise. She openly speaks to pissing off your reps, dicey Me Too situations, looking at Mad Men in a different light, the return of Entourage (will boys be boys?), art mirroring reality no matter how much they want to erase that, and do gay men give away their gayness in straight on-screen scenes? If so, can you blame 'em?! And lastly, the state of womanhood -- whatever that even means right now.

She’s been on numerous sitcoms. Was in a movie alongside your ab king Zac Efron. Took a van ride alone with a famous actor. And she gives zero effs airing it out. After over a decade as a successful actress in Hollywood, Kelsey Formost joins me for Part 1 of a fascinating convo on the inner working of Hollywood elitism, low key Me Too scumbag energy, neurotic celebrities, and more. Ronan, who?

You've thought about it. You may have awkward encounters over it. But have you openly talked about it? Not the sex talk, people. It's time we talk about race (in Salt-N-Pepa style)... baby. 

After speaking at a Mastermind Q&A, I was approached by a phenomenal businesswoman in the audience with a pitch that was unlike any other. Yes! Coach Lisa approached me to have an OPEN convo across racial lines on these ever-relevant taboo topics -- to say what we were thinking without fear, name-calling and boxing, and yes, with levity and fun. 

And that's what we did. 

You will love @lisaembracefitness, who brings a wealth of experience and knowledge as a former Jersey federal prosecutor and civil rights coordinator and current CEO of Embrace Your Fitness as a coach of the people to say fuck it and live their lives honestly without judgement. 

We navigate issues like: Roseanne Barr, the country singer who used the n-word in real life and rappers using it in music, do Kardashian braids and butts = appropriation?, awkward grocery store interactions, CA's proposed bill separating school kids on race, and more. Lisa sees both sides of every coin and it's as refreshing as it is eye-opening. 

Get out of the shadows, Say Yes! and let's do this. And if you feel so inclined... cancel us, baby.

The official Cancel Me, Baby stab at the Roe v. Wade of it all. Left or right, celeb or peasant, I'm not tiptoeing around any of you hoes so you've been warned. PT 1 is a digestible overview of the overturn fallout and where I stand on the issue given a personal story, PT 2 takes a look at each side's hypocrisies, and PT 3 will address celebrities like Olivia Rodrigo, Halsey, and Pink getting in on the incredibly polarized and heated debate and as per uj, thoughts on the big picture. Now pass the booze pls & ty.

Do men really call the shots or do women have them by the balls? What's with our society's skewed way of looking at body image (praising the Lizzos vs. shaming the gym rats)? Besides Tristan Thompson, can famous athletes really keep it in their pants? These are some controversial questions I explore with sports and pop culture reporter/commentator Nick Hamilton, founder of Nitecast Media and contributor to MLB Bro with appearances on NBC LA, BBC, and iHeart. We also deep dive into the pool of Lia Thomas's speedo with a nuanced look at trans competitors in sports, the BET Awards and Stacey Dash of it all, and when it comes to Diddy uncancelling Morgan Wallen and Travis Scott... is one actually unlike the other? For the road, let's not forget Ariana Grande, hip hop's low-key thief in the night, and my interview with her co-writer. You may never 34+35 the same again.

Disney had the flop of a Lightyear, Netflix is getting killed harder than Squid Game, late night TV is sleepwalking, comedy is on its deathbed... and Beyonce's having a renaissance. Wall Street shark Marc LoPresti (a CNBC, Bloomberg reg), is here to dissect the hot mess that are trends in the media landscape, the audacity of these streamers to be charging us half our rent, and where it's all going.

A gay Asian on a sexploration meets Cancel Me, Baby. Alex Liu is here for an unabashed conversation on American sex and his brilliant documentary Sexploration (which he directed and stars in), as these two 30-somethings talk sex taboos and liberating our own power (me = bra-less, him = flirting with straight guys and masturbating for science). We talk about the bizarre dichotomy of guilt/shame versus our unprecedented oversexualization, have trans cannibilized the gays?, pro life, pro choice, and a priest, and our society trying to box people in more than ever -- but isn't sex the great equalizer? A refreshingly HUMAN conversation. And for the regulars, Operation: Sex Goddess has commenced.
