  • Ep 32: If Loving Kanye Is Wrong, I Don't Wanna Be Right

    A white reporter and black reporter walk into a bar.... then call BS on it all. This week, I have a raw dialogue with my friend and fellow red carpet correspondent Evan Jackson about celebrity's place in media right now and becoming irrelevant in the overarching PC culture. From Chris Pratt's Twitter tirade to lame ass reboots, and Kanye to Stan Lee, we're pulling no punches and calling it as we see it. Suck on this, big tech.

  • Ep 31: California: Jail But Make It Fashion

    Seven months without work in an imploded entertainment industry passed. So, eventually, I made the tough decision to pick up and leave LA. At some point, draining your savings in a place that shows no signs of job prospects or reopening becomes riskier than diving head first into a completely unknown adventure. Featuring hosts Brielle Galekovic and Matt Dillon, here's a glimpse into the human side of the California exodus. Brought to you by Gavin Newsom.

  • Ep 30: Imma Let You Finish... Said No Mainstream Media Ever

    Biased CNN and Fox News was one thing. But now we have entertainment sites like Vogue and Variety Vanilla Wafer Cone Magazine telling us what to believe and who to vote for. Step out of line, and you're hated. I take a middle-of-the-road (YES, MIDDLE) approach to show you how brainwashed, divided, and hateful we're letting mainstream media make us. How "woke" are you, really?

  • Ep 29: I Now Present The 72nd Hunger Games, I Mean Emmy Awards

    Coming to you live from District 12. By popular demand, a genuine unpacking of the 2020 Emmy Awards. Did the show really need to happen in a year that's made us wish we had amnesia? Did celebs REALLY have to set up red carpets in their own back yards? Did E! go as far as COVID-ing their own hosts to get better ratings? I'm someone who's not only sat between celebs and ordered drinks with them AT the Emmys, but is now seeing it from all sides. Let the games begin.

  • Ep 28: If You Work at Fox, You Ain't Black

    He's young, he's good-looking, he's black, and he's definitely not what you think when you picture a Fox News journalist. Well, think again, bitches. My fellow red carpet reporter and think-for-yourselfer Julius Young joins me to talk about being judged as a black man at Fox, the double standards in the media, CNN vs Fox News, celebs who've ghosted us on the red carpet (and why), and more. Don Lemon is shaking.

  • Ep 27: You Wanna OnlyFans? You Better Work, Bitch (You Too, Bella)

    Bella Thorne hit OnlyFans and everyone got screwed. (Pun intended, hoes.) In a cock block of the century, the former Disney star inadvertently caused hundreds of sex workers to lose their cash flow. Sure, you may want to kick her back to Mickey Mouse's house, but the controversy is much more complex. Bringing in my experience reporting on Bella and being in Playboy, I have a fascinating convo with sex worker and OF creator Rebecca Madison as we peel back layers like: What were Bella's intentions? Who's to say celebs can't OF to make money? Are IG models considered sex workers? (BONUS: Rebecca's rituals before shooting solo porn.)

  • Ep 26: The Only Box I Like Is My Own

    Left, right, black, white, and everything in between, we love nothing more than picking sides, labeling one another, judging, and cancelling. And based on what? I sit down with Joy Villa, an AfroLatina musician known for her controversial Grammys dresses and upcoming book "Kickass Conservative," in a refreshingly raw dialogue, from BLM to WAP. And if you want to cancel us, go ahead. Because those boxes we're put in that suggest who we are and what we really think? They can eff off.

  • Ep 25: Because WAP Is More Accurate Than Your IG Feed

    We are all falling apart, yet our Instagram feeds are still as pristine as Cardi B's pussy. But alas, one is not like the other. In a year that has taken away our sanity, our jobs, our money, our freedoms, and our dignity, why are we still trying so hard to look perfect on social media? With interview bites from Tyra Banks and Marvel's Olivia Holt, Taylor explores why portraying the perfect image in 2020 is actually screwing each other harder than China did the world.

  • Ep 24: Unemployment Checks or a Job at "Ellen" Pick Your Poison

    Three gals in entertainment aren't the least bit shocked by the news of Ellen DeGeneres treating her staff like they're descendants of the Wuhan bat -- here's why. This week Taylor gets into it with fellow pop culture journalist Sade Spence (whose friend worked at the show) and actress Chelar Vale. The ladies break the fourth wall about what REALLY goes down on TV and movie sets, as they get into a much larger, taboo issue: Why working for a woman (as a woman) is still more hellish than the year 2020.

  • Ep 23: Your Opinion Is Like a Penis, I Don't Have To Like What I See

    Think of your opinion like a dick pic: You can be proud of it, but do I need it on my head? Probably not. Turns out, Taylor isn't the only one in Hollywood questioning elitist narratives (we'd take the unwarranted dick pics at this point, tbh). This week, a dude enters the chat as Taylor has an honest convo with publicist Frankie Conti -- a conservative (GASP) guy in Hollywood who lived to tell the tale. How aggressive are the thought police? What happened to Tara Reade? Why are celebs suddenly mute about sex trafficking? Look out, Ellen execs, shit's about to get even more real.
