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, her irreverent show empowers viewers to think freely outside rules in politics, media, and pop culture, getting big guests like Blake Shelton, Tucker Carlson, Dave Portnoy, to say what they really think.
Episodes
I’m back from egg retrieval with medically induced brain fog, and somehow still making more sense than the internet. I’m talking AI doomsday, why canceling Macklemore doesn’t actually help Jews, and why female athletes claiming Sydney Sweeney's ad sets women back are winning the gold at cosplaying as the patriarchy.
Why I’m officially over the Lindsey Clancy trial, remembering the hardcore Gloria Steinem I interviewed, and answering the question The Washington Post asked me: Am I a feminist? Plus, an unfiltered dispatch from the hormonal front lines of egg freezing, because the only box cramming anything into my life is my hazardous-items container.
Reporting live from egg-freezing purgatory, where one minute I’m conquering shots like AOC and the next I’m being consoled by You’ve Got Mail at 2 AM. Speaking of shots: shots fired in the absurd war between tradwives and girlbosses, Ina Garten’s flawless rebuttal to it all, and why women should be allowed to contain multitudes without getting permission from strangers online.
Night one of egg freezing, I planned to channel AOC and handle my hormone shots like a girlboss™. Instead, I’m sleep-deprived and sweating through my spray tan, spiraling over whether everyone else is simply better at pretending. Which brings me to unpack the performance of it all. From political theater to algorithm-approved identities, and why a gloriously messy night of gay karaoke might actually be the last sign of humani...
Tonight, I take on the grief grift, $5,000 female “maintenance,” Sofia Franklyn’s New York Times wedding spread, and Kylie Jenner’s big-tit ambitions. Plus, Evan Jackson delivers a Hooters movie update that could have been an email, and I live la vida loca like Ricky Martin before egg-freezing lockdown begins.
I’m hormonal, sleep-deprived, wearing sunglasses indoors, and mourning the last truly original woman. Tonight: what Dolly Parton understood about freedom that today’s algorithm-built clones could never. Plus, Part 2 of my powerful conversation with two 9/11 Pentagon survivors on heroism, humanity, and a generation led wildly astray.
The internet has officially lost the plot, simultaneously turning Luigi Mangione and Lindsay Clancy into martyrs while actual heroes barely make the algorithm. I unpack our deranged murderer-to-messiah pipeline, then sit down with two Pentagon survivors featured in Nat Geo’s "9/11: Reunited" who remind us what real courage and heroes look like.
From influencers reading infomercial scripts to Twitter sleuths inventing a Spider-Man AI scandal, and our culture's "heroes," we're looking at who’s actually influencing the influencers. Plus, If These Walls Could Rock directors for PT 2 on Gene Simmons gone rogue, rock ’n’ roll debauchery (and it's place in the culture wars), and the era before everything needed a label, a brand deal, or an algorithm’s app...
Tonight I try to make sense of the increasingly braindead and bizarre culture war over egg freezing before host Sonni Abatta joins to talk her viral CNN video, echo chambers, and why having brain cells is now a rebellious act. Then, rock & roll isn’t dead yet: Part 1 with the If These Walls Could Rock doc directors on Hollywood royalty, renegades, misfits, and what happened to the days when rock stars actually acted like ...
Reckoning with: the tragic death of Hayden Panettiere, the Candace Owens–Andrew Wilson debate aftermath (with BlackRant), falling headfirst into the trad-wife political wars, entering my AOC-coded egg-freezing era, and the arrive at one universal conclusion.
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 ...
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.
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?
I'm sitting on a horse farm in Virginia asking a question I genuinely can't stop thinking about: why are we still doing this? Why do people cling to failing institutions, failing leaders, and failing narratives... and call it progress? From Bari Weiss and legacy media to LA politics and international censorship, let's talk about it. Because maybe it's the farm air, but I'm over it.
