Talk To Me Taylor

A conversation I had with none other than Amber Heard in 2017 (smack in the middle of her Johnny Depp marriage and the infamous Op-Ed) just hits differently now. In this ep, I play the recordings and reflect on them in hindsight, diving into themes around women, men, victimhood, and the boxes we’ve created around it all.

From the display of shameless influencers at Coachella's Revolve Fest gone south, to Abercrombie's rebranding comeback (with a lil Musk and JK Rowling sprinkled in, of course), a look at our society's desperation - and lack thereof - of having a good image. 

They say if you can't take the heat, get out the kitchen. Well, IG Live couldn't take the heat of our convo so here we are in the kitchen that is an uncensored podcast ep. Successful spiritual mentor Alyse Breathes joins me for a super engaging dialogue to give her unique lens on: media dysfunction, a spiritual breakdown of wokeness, why so much turmoil is happening in our culture, spiritual people getting labelled as conspiracy theorists, society rewarding soul-sucking desk jobs (vs. entrepreneurs?), is toxic masculinity a myth?, and PC schooling. Friyay is right.

From being on red carpets to meet the celebs (in my case), to transforming the stars for their movie shoots and events (in my guest's case), here are two gals exploring the mindf*ck of being in Hollywood to now seeing it in all its post-pandemic, sad little bubble form. Celebrity stylist turned podcaster Ali Levine is here to expose these hoes and we further get into experiences with controlling entities like Disney (and why they feel the political need to make The Little Mermaid a Sex Ed show) and the clash of the women's and trans rights in pop culture. (Because even Caitlyn Jenner didn't ask for this shit.) 

He's sat down with Shaq. He's been endorsed by a Shark Tank OG. Now, he's here for the Cancel Me, Baby interview. Podcasting aficionado Travis Chappell, host of Build Your Network and founder of Guestio, and I dig into acknowledging first impressions, dinosaur networks trying hard to become fossils, the crap (yet ugly truth?) that is internet fame, Howard Stern and the shade of it all, pulling a Chris Rock in a shameless world, and... the fall of the woke empire??? SJWs be shaking.

A Hollywood insider, who was on a red carpet Oscars night, reached me eager to come on the pod and give their no holds barred take on the slap. I had no idea what they were going to say. Here's what ensued.

It gets weird. It gets raw. And it's unlike anything you've seen this week. I ain't talking Oscar slap. I'm talking the Cancel Me, Baby ep about it. I relive meeting Jada, my own experience with award show security, the fact that I interviewed one of the world's most notable life gurus about male violence... at a Jada Pinkett event, and take a look at the big picture of what Hollywood gets its panties in a wad about (or doesn't), and the Will Smiths of it all.

Kim Kardashian gives tough love to women in business while Tik Tok stars teach us about the Ukrainian crisis. It's the OG influencer and the new wave. All basically the same, right? Nah, bitch. Not in the slightest.

Someone resurrect Dumbledore so this man can concoct a spell to cure our woke culture's forgetful tendencies. In the spirit of this year's International Women's Day, we begin this journey with once feminist icon turned Voldemort spawn, JK Rowling, and then explore the once women hater turned Me Too feminist poster girl, Pam Anderson. Confused already? Precisely. The narratives flip flop harder than your morning flapjacks, so I ask: Does the media even realize its constant shapeshifting? When does it become problematic? What does it say about the bigger picture? And for the love of god, why is Pam & Tommy ending?

It's classy, it's sassy, it's inspo, and it's tough love. Here's the one and only Cancel Me, Baby take on the unfolding Ukrainian-Russian crisis -- a digestible, sane look as it pertains to pop culture and the Joy Behars of it all. The episode is a nuanced take of Twitter poet AnnaLynne McCord's dreams, and ties in a surprising SAG Awards takeaway, my time with Maksim Chmerkovskiy (who's been documenting from his home country Ukraine), media's true power, one of my most impactful celebrity experiences, and what we've lost as a society (plot twist, can Hollywood help bring that thing back?). It goes somewhere unexpected and uplifting, and Oprah's Super Soul Sundays had no idea this shit was coming.
