Talk To Me Taylor

News EN ↓ 395 episodes

"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.

Ep 142: Not Your Father's Locker Room Talk 29.06.2022

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...

Ep 141: You Lost Your Woody for Buzz Lightyear 22.06.2022

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...

Ep 140: Like You, Trump and Biden Have Masturbated, Too. 15.06.2022

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 ver...

Ep 139: Big Tech but Small Dick Energy 09.06.2022

It's the Erin Brockovich of it all in today's episode with recovering "Big Law" attorney Ashley Fillingim @KickAshLaw who takes 20 years of repping Fortune 500 clients to speak to the toddlers in government, news, and social media making up rules for us. We talk: misogynistic Avengers(?), Disney, DeSantis and their dick-off, the sitting president getting the boot from Twitter, Kylie Jenner's quest...

Ep 138: Bitcoin Me, Baby 03.06.2022

Did you know your IG, your Gmail, your Facebook... aren't really yours? Someone had to break it to you, sweetie. Consider this Decentralization for Dummies in today's Cancel Me, Baby chat featuring entrepreneur Justin Rezvani. His endeavor Zion is backed by influential figures like Tony Robbins, Aaron Rodgers, and internet star JP Sears as he leads the charge in innovating how we communicate, take...

Ep 137: Like Johnny Depp's Bed, This Guest Is the Sh*t 01.06.2022

Media's distorted police narratives. Loud LeBron James. The cancelled housewife. Welcome to the conversations people have behind closed doors with police vet Chris Sherwin (3 Cops Talk podcast, TheCoachingCop.com). Chris served over 20 years outside Chicago and brings soul and boots-on-the-ground perspective to every topic re; law enforcement. He's as real as it gets and gives...

Ep 136: Her Relative Was Killed in Uvalde. She, Too, Thinks Everyone's Missing the Point. 26.05.2022

Another horrifying mass shooting, another politicized argument over guns ensues. But why isn't our obvious mental illness crisis at the forefront of this dialogue? Today I had the honor of sitting down with Amber Ybarra, whose loved one, Eva Mireles, was one of the teachers and heroes tragically killed this week in the Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting. Also frustrated by the perpetual left...

Ep 135: James Maslow With a Sermon like the Hot Rabbi You Never Knew You Needed 25.05.2022

James Maslow stars in the awesome, non-preachy new indie rom-com We Need to Talk. And that's exactly what we did. The actor (former Big Time Rush boy band-er) has some words about the oversensitive politically correct, and may just bring you to temple... the temple that is common sense. Your fave new jew talks about being freed up from Hollywood's controlling tendencies with irreverent indies like...

Ep 134: It's My Party & Bill Murray Can Tug My Ponytail if He Wants To 20.05.2022

PT 2: Consider this Unpopular Gender Opinions Anonymous. Connection expert, speaker, and author Unni Turrettini and I continue our fascinating dialogue by airing out virtually every controversial take one could have about: sex, women's manipulative power in workplace, THE FORBIDDEN gender norms, the straight man struggle ("there's nothing worse than being a young, white man," she says), women's ro...

Ep 133: The Nobel Peace Prize Exposed, Hoes 18.05.2022

PT 1: In the words of my guest Unni Turrettini: "It's not empowering to believe people are stupid." And contrary to the media person-feeding us (lol) information like we're toddlers, ain't that the damn truth. Unni is a speaker and connection expert, and a gal after my own heart, has put herself out there by publishing a book EXPOSING the inner working and corruption within the Nobel Peace Prize o...

Ep 132: If You're Desperate & You Know It Clap Your Hands (ft. Alexxis Lemire) 16.05.2022

It's not just dudes and their dick pics anymore, guys. We're all pretty desperate these days. This is a theme explored in the new, fun horror flick Torn Hearts about two country singers trying to make it in Nashville, and star Alexxis Lemire (also in Netflix's The Half of It) is here to talk about it. Alexxis and I get into: the lengths we'll go for success, true fakeness of IG, anxieties peo...

Ep 131: You May Never See It the Same 13.05.2022

Porn, that is. Join me for a conversation with Sofia Kappel, star of the new film Pleasure (out in LA & NY today) about an ambitious, up-and-comer's journey in the LA porn scene as she's determined to be the next big star at any cost. Sofia and I have a vulnerable conversation about women and agency, complexities of the porn industry that the media doesn't capture, grey area around consen...

Ep 130: May the Fourth Be With Common Sense for Women's Sake 04.05.2022

In a galaxy far, far away, the fight for women made sense. But to be quite frank, both sides are effing it up. In an episode you don't want to miss, I'm here today to expose ironies and hypocrisies on both sides of the explosive Roe v Wade debate. Plus, I address the big picture everyone's missing, because they're too caught up being mad over a Kim Kardashian dress, to shed light on who's really b...

Ep 129: Move Over Depp Trial, I Have My Own Amber Heard Recordings 27.04.2022

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.

Ep 128: Going to Revolve Fest in Abercrombie & Fitch, bitch 20.04.2022

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. 

Ep 127: Eat Your Heart Out, IG Live 15.04.2022

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...

Ep 126: It's a Small World Ride Just Got Real 08.04.2022

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 e...

Ep 125: What's More Extinct, T-Rex or the Mainstream? 06.04.2022

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 C...

Bonus Ep: Making the Unpopular Will Smith Take... Popular? 31.03.2022

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.

Ep 124: Paging Chris Rock's Jaw, Do You Copy? 30.03.2022

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 pan...

Ep 123: Get Your F*cking Ass Up & Watch This Ep 16.03.2022

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.

Ep 122: I Shall Name Her... Woke Amnesia 09.03.2022

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 tha...

EP 121: It Ain't a Putin Poem, But It's the Next Best Thing 02.03.2022

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 docu...

Ep 120: Kill, Do, Marry Me…. or actually don't 24.02.2022

In a world of Marry Me’s, be a Pam and Tommy. Both of these buzzy projects explore the world where celebrity, sex, and privacy collide, and in this ep we cannonball harder than shallow Hal’s girlfriend into these themes, how the media treats one versus the other, and my personal J. Lo story that ties it ALL together. Kumbaya, bitch, and may your week bring more excitement than the entirety of J.Lo...

Ep 119: The Author of "Shameless" Meets "Sex & the City" (for a shameless convo, indeed) 18.02.2022

What happens when you get two tri-state chicks who've worked in Hollywood, may (or may not) have dated celebs, and truly give very little f*cks in speaking their mind? This surprise Friday ep drop, baby. Welcome Kerry Schwartz (@comfywithkerry), a writer/director/former reality TV star/all-around hustler, as we discuss her new book, Series of Unfortunate Men, and truly flip EVERY "acceptable" narr...
