Talk To Me Taylor

Talk To Me Taylor

"Don’t tell me what I can and can’t say." Veteran journalist Taylor Ferber wrote this in her unprecedented Playboy feature, challenging the idea that brains and beauty are mutually exclusive, as the only woman who both posed and was a featured writer. After years as Hollywood's "Celebrity Whisperer" who interviewed and humanized the biggest A-listers at every major event, her irreverent show empowers viewers to think freely outside rules around wokeism, conservatism, gender, media, and culture, getting big guests (like Blake Shelton, Josh Duhamel, Dave Portnoy) to say what they really think.

Katy Perry and her attempt at a female empowerment anthem got shot down harder than Trump's ear because women are offended by their own sexuality again. Meanwhile, onward goes Kamala and the great DEI debate. We've gotten ourselves in quite a pickle in how we understand and handle women and someone hand me a venn diagram so we can really sort this out, STAT.

Anti-violence folk hate Trump so much, they can't see why an assassination would be... bad. Matthew McConaughey can't be fully embraced by either political party. Amber Rose is the poster child-turned-devil on the left and whore-turned-Mother Mary on the right. Kamala Harris and JD Vance's interracial marriages can't save them from... each other. Our identity politics run so deep that even if and when our values are...

Duke University says being on time is racist and Zoe Kravitz changes her "P*ssy Island" movie title because women are offended by... their own selves. Two things are certain: we are a society that is equal parts shameless and shameful.

The assassination attempt on Trump is a true inflection point of how we all done f*cked up as a society. Love or hate Trump, this event is a symptom of our broken culture with insidious hostility underneath. From political pundits to your Aunt Karen's Facebook, and comedians to athletes, here's a look at the dysfunctional turmoil even in the pop culture sphere that drives politics. In short: Get your sh*t together, people.

Ghostbusters. Charlie's Angels. Apparently, The Devil Wears Prada. Like awful reboots that just can't let go, neither can people in power. Whether politics or media, business or sports, here's the reality of power-hungry American figures from Joe Biden to Harvey Weinstein -- and the collateral damage they cause the public, rotting our lives like a revival no one ever asked for. For crying out loud, just quit while you&#...

Many of us able-minded folk were shocked... that the media was so shocked... by Joe Biden's decrepit debate performance. Were they outright lying about the state of his cognitive ability this entire time, or did they *actually* believe his brain worked? This applies to issues far beyond Joe Biden, and in this episode, we explore today's nature of people purely seeing what they want to see. Are they brainwashed... or just bl...

Why * wouldn't * we have a former congressman on OF? Why * would * we want the CCP to infiltrate our personal data? Because it's all for the influencer life, bitch! A take on what influences the mind-numbed masses of our shameless and opportunistic culture. Plus: Armie Hammer has a come to Jesus moment. Jack Dorsey actually is Jesus. And Elon Musk with his Asperger's can't be bothered with any of you neanderthals. W...

Time to separate the water boys from the Tom Bradys. The sports have been sportsing and the coalesced unfolding of events around Tom Brady's Hall of Fame induction and Lia Thomas and Caitlin Clark's rejection by the upcoming Olympics have me thinking about why entitlement is the new pandemic. No participation trophies for you.

A juicy continuation of the commencement speech heard 'round the world with media personality and mom Sonni Abatta. Was Harrison Butker onto something regarding what women really *do* want? Mel Gibson thought.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gave a Christ-approved commencement speech that has the internet in pieces. This man managed to hit the eye of the zeitgeist hurricane where cancel culture, women's rights, religion, speech, and USA Today Op-Eds (including mine) collide. Put me in, coach.

I'd take a savage old lady over a phony "Momala" Harris any day. So let's take a closer look at the recent Sanderson sisters reemergence as a borderline geriatric Hollywood producer isn’t feeling euphoric for Sydney Sweeney, and her fellow give-no-f*cketeers Courtney Love and Lily Allen don’t mince words about pop stars like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. Easy (and understandable) to pin these situations to: has been v...

It's October 7th 2.0 on college campuses and beyond across the states. Our leaders, who have cherry-picked standards through the cultural conversation, seem to be confused. But it's really not that complicated. Racism is racism. And free speech is free speech. Period.

The digital public square is such a mess, your nastiest frat house bathroom is a palace in comparison. Google's AI made black Nazis. Elon Musk cancelled Don Lemon.
