Ep 300: The Viral Celebrity Interviewer Joins the Chat25 Oct 202400:33:13

You've seen the viral videos. You've shared the memes. You may as well have PTSD from Blake Lively and Anne Hathaway yourself. Kjersti Flaa (YouTube: @Flaawsometalk) is a veteran entertainment journalist who's blown UP doing the lord's work in exposing Hollywood dysfunction and reality of celebrity interviews, and was just featured on the cover of New York Times for it. Today, in celebration of the show's 300th episode, she joins me to talk about what others won't regarding the toxic enabling cycle in entertainment. Two blondes take on the Hollywood machine. Hide your kids, wives, and celebs.

Ep 299: The 6 Degrees of Talk To Me Taylor 23 Oct 202400:32:56

Tensions are rising, and sadly not in a sexual way, with the election around the corner. We’ll be hearing nonstop about the likes of Elon Musk, Taylor Swift, and the big dogs involved. Turns out, we may not be that far from these power players influencing our lives, physically, but mentally, they’re on a whole other planet.

Ep 290: Psychic Reading, But Make it Hot18 Sep 202400:30:00

Today, a look at the one thing we can't escape besides death, taxes, and Kamala Harris's laugh: time. Looking at the big picture of how our culture has unfolded in attitude and trends, there's a striking parallel to my personal experience in media, so I ask: What will you do with your time? Do you need to get with times, or are you among the chosen ones ahead of the curve? The curve of these crystal balls, that is. 

Ep 182: Don't Let the Media Win10 Feb 202300:22:00

This impromptu episode -- difficult, but necessary (I know, even on a Friday) -- was fueled by the news of a 14-year-old student who died by suicide after being bullied and beaten in a video caught on camera. Given my background in mainstream media, I try to make sense of our sick, violent culture and the way almost every instance (from this to Tyre Nichols and George Floyd, and Uvalde to Monterey Park) is politicized, distorted, or both, and is hurting us as a society even more.

Ep 181: The Only Convoluted State of the Union Address You Need08 Feb 202300:36:58

From a Grammys performance, to a new Netflix "comedy" (will fact check this), and your throwback Pam Anderson centerfold, we have no idea how to feel about anything anymore. And I blame the lovechild of our psycho media and culture. 

Ep 180: Land of the Free, Home of the Deranged ft. Jack Kilmer30 Jan 202300:15:24

Another guest who's attractive, smart, and talented. Ugh - not again!!! Val Kilmer's son Jack is here to talk about his starring role in the final shebang of Bruce Willis's iconic action film career, Detective Knight: Independence, the last installment of the franchise. In just 15 minutes, we manage to tackle: our twisted, dark, and trigger-happy culture, the suffering anti-hero like The Joker in all of us, empathizing with and humanizing the bad guy, and themes around police, freedom, the American dream, and violence that wouldn't necessarily be in his dad's films, aka a simpler time. Your happy ending is nepotism and his thoughts on Hailey Bieber's "nepo baby" shirt.

Ep 179: In Velma We Trust26 Jan 202300:32:40

Your Cancel Me, Baby guide to the wild "Velma" controversy. How my personal story with Mindy Kaling, the insane and nonsensical backlash from both conservatives and wokes, and my own viewing experience not only shaped my view of Mindy, but my belief that the satire is also some of the most genius TV I've seen in a minute.

Ep 178: How He Directed J.Lo's Bare, Famous Booty Amid "Male Gaze" Craze18 Jan 202300:14:48

Here at Cancel Me, Baby, we're in the business of giving the people what they want. A sexy look at the iconic, OG booty is no exception. Enter Jason Moore, director of the new rom-com action flick SHOTGUN WEDDING (starring J.Lo, Josh Duhamel, your best friend Jennifer Coolidge, and your sex god Lenny Kravitz), who's also here to do just that. We talk about how J.Lo manages to OWN her bare butt... and simultaneously the whole damn room, navigating that in the "male gaze" meltdown era, what's really behind Lenny Kravitz's infamous sunglasses, the real-life dichotomy of his rockstar persona, and how J.Lo's in on the scrutiny of her love life. Putting the ASS in badass, everyone. 

Ep 177: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things12 Jan 202300:34:34

A Christian TV network gets flak. Celebrating Japanese culture is appropriation. Harry Potter books are mutilated. Normal body image is considered toxic. Demi Lovato's bondage album cover is deemed the antichrist. This is why we can't have nice things!

Ep 176: From NASA to the Pentagon: a Busty Blonde in a Boys-With-Hoodies Market28 Dec 202201:03:37

A modern-day, female Forrest Gump, Carla White is a tech world renegade who's taken her blondness AND savvy to entities including: the Olympics, Microsoft, NASA, the US Government, and Oprah's couch. While many assume her Chinese husband is the brains and she's the bimbo, she's over here running multimillion dollar businesses -- all while whipping up a mean-ass casserole, bitch! Now the CEO of Hiro.fm, Carla has SUCH real and refreshing views of male-female work dynamics so go ahead and eye her tits while she outsmarts you all day long. 

Ep 175: It's Barbie's World & We're Just Living in it21 Dec 202200:44:28

Up in your chimney is Santa's sweet little ass along with this Xmas week solo ep drop. First thing's first is a follow up from my last ep with Lou Ridley about something that's been weighing on my mind regarding the p-word. (Privilege, you dirty minds.) Speaking of privilege, is Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman 3/DCU fallout really a function of being a woman? I revisit my past interviews with her during milestone moments in her career to discuss. Then we hit all things Barbie, my Barbie alter ego, and why the Barbie movie better.not.be.preachy. Lastly is Elon and Twitter and the media folk's diagnosis of short-term memory loss. Splash some of this in your eggnog and enjoy. 

Ep 174: Free Think Barbie Meets Revenge Barbie18 Dec 202201:01:20

She's beauty and she's grace, she's here to cut you with her words like a knife. On this special Sunday Service ep, musician Lou Ridley is an artist with a message and is the embodiment of truly giving no fucks what you think while also caring and giving the most fucks about her beliefs, know what I mean? As someone who's able to empathize and also take issue with both sides of the destructive political divide, her art is poignant and intentional. With boobs and hella brains, we get into: religion in pop culture, the icon of Barbie, messaging for men without male-bashing, victim mentality, and a moment where Lou psychoanalyzes me on my own show that I can't stop thinking about and will CERTAINLY be revisited so stay the eff tuned. Take us to church or something like it, Lou.

Ep 173: A VERY Bad Santa. Or Is He? It's Paul Johansson13 Dec 202200:13:41

According to the court of public opinion, you're either a sinner... or a saint. Because nuance can't compute in the minds of 2022 folk, everybody. This phenomenon is something Paul Johansson and I discuss regarding his dark and twisted character in "Detective Knight: Redemption" (out now) -- the action trilogy in which Grandma Dan Scott (my One Tree Hill lovers) stars alongside icon Bruce Willis. This short chat ain't like the others in Paul's junket circuit experience. We get deep about society's obsession with judging everyone and behind the scenes of working with Bruce Willis in the last bang before his retirement amid all the headline chaos around the actor's aphasia (a cognitive and language disorder) diagnosis. After this you'll think twice about how society labels people: naughty or nice. You decide.

Ep 289: We Found Love in a Dog-Eating Place13 Sep 202400:28:15

The presidential debate that fell out of a coconut tree. The Swifty meltdown of our time. Plus, Shailene Woodley's WTF moment, Dave Grohl's confession to make, and Jamie Lee Curtis' words of wisdom. A closer look at cultural worship, 'cus there goes your hero...

Ep 172: I Done Got in Trouble With Blake Shelton09 Dec 202200:33:39

Tourists from all over the country flock to Nashville eager to experience and snap pics at Blake Shelton's downtown Broadway bar Ole Red. But not everyone is backstage at said establishment causing a ruckus with important entertainment folks... like I was. Here's the story of what actually happened behind the scenes interviewing Blake and his Barmageddon co-stars Nikki Bella and Carson Daly and how I wound up in quite a pickle, but a pickle with a few important takeaways and as always, a bigger message for us all. Bottoms up.

Baby Ep 171: Blake Shelton Says There Ain't No Room for PC in Country Music07 Dec 202200:12:46

And much to your surprise, I'd agree!

I'm taking you behind the scenes of my time at Blake's Nashville bar Ole Red where I talked to him and his Barmageddon co-stars Carson Daly and Nikki Bella while celebrating their new USA show... Cancel Me, Baby style, but of course. In the new USA game show, celebs go hard at bar-themed challenges giving your fraternity a run for its money, and further, showing that in a time of pure divide and chaos, we can all come together to throw one back and play. And if not do you even have a soul. Check out snippets of my talk with: Blake about Luke Combs's recent sentiment about traditional-sounding country, Carson Daly about the culture clash cure, and Nikki Bella about being a great wrestler and tv host -- not just a "female wrester" or "female co-host." Chin chin.

Ep 170: Balenciaga. FTX. Iran. The media's not biased? Sure, Jan.30 Nov 202200:30:02

Lady in the street, Balenciaga in the... trenches of Sam Bankman-Fried's closet, prob. In this first solo ep in a hot minute, I'm looking at the complete and utter clown fest that is the mainstream from my experience on the inside and as someone with eyeballs. This media epidemic is running rampant but I'm looking at: bizarre coverage of Balenziaga's gross spring campaign, Dave Portnoy and FTX con artist SBF, and tumbleweed of attention around the horrible women's crisis in Iran. And of course, why this all matters. So who's more vindictive: the hot blonde bully cheerleader in an 90's movie... or the media? You decide. 

Ep 169: This Ep with MGK's "Taurus" Co-Lead Is a Hot Mess. You'll Love it.23 Nov 202200:36:47

Welcome to the glorious chaos that is my sit down with Machine Gun Kelly's "Taurus" co-lead, Maddie Hasson. Why is it as such, you ask? It's like dating, sweetie, and I don't give it up that easy. So stay tuned as the ghost of Steve Jobs possesses Maddie's devices while we ALSO dive into: power dynamics and bitches vs. dicks in the workplace, Peter Pans: an epidemic beyond Hollywood, narcissism, ego, and insecurity among superstars, Disney gone woke, Maddie's sexual awakening via co-star Megan Fox, and how behind MGK's provocateur persona is actually the sweet little emo boy who needs a hug. Enjoy.

Ep 168: Attention Whores or Media Geniuses? Enter Machine Gun Kelly's New Film Director16 Nov 202200:21:36

Look out Zuckerberg, shit's about to get real meta up in this bitch. Welcome TAURUS director Tim Sutton, who wrote and helmed the new film starring Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Fox, and Ruby Rose in which MGK plays a self-destructive rockstar plagued by the demon that is... fame. Megan Fox even plays his ex and the two have an on-screen moment that will have Meryl shaking. Tim and I get into: the pair as global provocateurs vs the individuals and the artists, celebs who fuel their media attention then complain about the spotlight, and the darkness where drugs and success collide. How much of the film is fact vs. fiction? Choose your own adventure, hun, because you may never know.

Ep 167: I am Woman, Hear Me Roar... then Dominate My Ass like Megan Fox09 Nov 202201:05:19

She's the OG TikToker on femininity. But don't you dare call her Boss Babe. Alexi Turner, creator of the Empress Collective (former employee for Gaga and booking agent for Victoria's Secret, GQ), is an expert on all things female/male archetypes and honoring traditional gender roles. Cancellable, HONEY! In all of its Nashville in-person glory, we talk: Who hurt you, Andrew Tate?, the sexuality battle of Madonna vs. Cardi B and Britney vs. Selena, is modern America where men have it worse & traditionalists are edgy?, is feminism bad?, what's "toxic masculinity," REALLY?, Candace Owens treating sex as the antichrist, do men really get more money and pleasure?, Gisele and Tom's power dynamic, and why successful female millionaires wind up with gay men. Ladies who lunch, INDEED.

Baby EP 166: Brandon Jenner & His Last Name Heard 'Round the World02 Nov 202200:08:43

Jenner. The name. You may have heard of it. In this short but sweet baby interview, I talked with Caitlyn Jenner's son (and David Foster's stepson) Brandon about his personal experience with nepotism, or lack thereof, in Hollywood and breaking out of his very famous name as an individual pursuing his love of music. He may not be a starving artist like the rest of us (seriously, Netflix, back the eff off our account sharing TY), but even resources don't solve his different, own relative struggle of proving himself worthy. Counting pennies or automatically being judged: Which would you rather deal with? 

Brandon was promoting his new and upcoming reality music series Project Supergroup from the Embassy Suites in Nashville. Rock on.

Ep 165: I Would Do Anything for Followers, But I Won't Do That28 Oct 202200:13:30

Isolated, lost in the sauce, craving affection and connection? This isn't another night of your diary. It's a new modern fairytale and horror-comedy "The Loneliest Boy in the World." Joining me to make your Halloweekend spookier than your DMs (or lack thereof) are the stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Max Harwood. In spirit of the movie and the despair of our black mirror lives, I chat with the mid-20s actors about: disillusion of IG followers, "My job is to be an actor, not a social media influencer," the dichotomy of social media allowing connection and utter isolation, not fitting in, and community. The movie also stars Ashley Benson, Evan Ross, is in theaters and on demand, and is retro, fun, and twisted, so hop on it.

Ep 164: What's Karen Got to Do With it?26 Oct 202200:17:13

There may be wine. There may be hors d'oeuvres. But this ain't your typical dinner party. Join me for a brief conversation with director Patty Ivins about her documentary "Deconstructing Karen" (exec. produced by True Blood star Anna Paquin) that's getting attention from various film fest organizations. In the film, a group of white women in Colorado sit around the dinner table for a brutally honest dialogue on the elephant in the room: racism. Patty and I touch on issues like the white liberal woman, CRT, buzzwords, and race as it pertains to pop culture on the whole.

Ep 163: Kanye, Jews, and Beyonce Stole from Who?: a Poem19 Oct 202201:07:34

Brace yourselves for this unique force entering the Cancel Me, Baby fun house of your dreams: a true leftist who hates woke culture. Welcome Niko House, everybody, journalist, founder of MCSC Network on Rokfin, button-down-chest-bearing enthusiast, and tell-it-how-it-is advocate. Niko for the people is well-versed in politics, sports, culture, entertainment and pulls zero punches sharing his thoughts on: the male force behind Beyonce that'll leave both the Beehive and feminists shaking, mommy issues and the "toxic masculinity" label, Kanye's beef with the Jews, my personal fave: "latte liberals," and even more. PS- no one tell Kanye where I live so this Jew doesn't have to sleep with one eye open tonight ty for your service.

Ep 288: BJs Aren't Disputable. This Is.11 Sep 202400:27:00

Kontroversial Katy Perry is back by rewarding Orlando Bloom with blowjobs. Meanwhile, Beyonce's Cowboy Carter is snubbed hard from the CMAs and NFL star Tyreek Hill may or may not have been racially profiled one block from a game. I take a stab at what they all have in common, and I'll try not to blow it. 

Ep 162: The "Old School" Creator Is Back for Ppl Who Can Still Laugh16 Oct 202200:22:31

Remember laughter? What a time that was. Here to reignite comedy for people whose sticks aren't too far up their asses is Court Crandall, the writer and creator of the 2003 classic "Old School." Promoting his new movie "Bromates" (NOT to be confused with "Bros," which we discuss, of course), executive produced by Snoop Dogg, Court and I reminisce on the lost art of the iconic, raunchy comedy, the unmatched '00s era vs the current PC police, Judd Apatow's recent comments on 40-Year-Old Virgin, looking at Old School in hindsight given this climate, why Frank "The Tank" could fly but Dave "The Perv" in Bros was axed, and the Ricky Gervais-not-giving-a-shit of it all.

Ep 161: Do You Even TikTok, Bro?14 Oct 202200:39:07

A Meta employee has entered the chat. This is Ukraine native Tommy Petrov, Creative Director at Meta (formerly Creative Dir. at Snapchat) who's also keen on the NFT space and shares his insightful thoughts on: social media trends, news consumption, the ADD of it all, China's TikTok versus the good ol' USA's, US content vs global content, Trump's social media platform, app shelf lives, are we at the point of no return, are memes the future, are Americans just dumb, fat, and lazy? As a Ukrainian he weighs in on celebs' involvement in the war, Zelensky's screen acting charisma, and yes, his Vogue cover. Tommy's also an Emmy-voting member of Academy of Television Arts & Sciences so we share our experience at said awards shows -- ironically, the great equalizer once inside.

Ep 160: Black, Gay, and Over It. It's Amir Odom.12 Oct 202200:50:09

There's uppity conservatives, stick-up-their-ass woke people, and somewhere in between. That somewhere has arrived. Welcome to our FIRST in-person Nashville ep of Cancel Me, Baby! fittingly with fellow thought criminal and IG superstar Amir Odom. In a convo that isn't for the PC faint of heart, Amir and I talk: my personal fave WOKE AMNESIA!, Kanye's White Lives Matter situation, political pawns, hypocrisy on both sides, pearl-clutching conservatives, BLM's mansions, Amir's experience being black and gay in the south, being the G in LGBTetcetc,  statistics of tough subjects, media derangement, what the trans movement means for his identity as a gay man, "no homo, bro," Billie Eichner's baby bitch fit over his flopped Bros movie, and more. Hide your kids, wives, and everyone you know because it's about to go down and no one is apologizing. 

Ep 159: You're About to PSL Your Panties08 Oct 202200:23:42

Spooky season has indeed arrived, bitches. And here's an extra jolt if your pumpkin spice latte ain't quite doing it. Welcome Rachel Belofsky, film producer and founder of the iconic SCREAMFEST in LA -- the biggest and longest-running horror film festival in the US where films like Paranormal Activity and Human Centipede were discovered. These guys are sticking it to the suits while making you scared sh*tless in your suit. Going on its 22nd year and located at the legendary Chinese Theater, Rachel and I gear up for this year's festival and killer (ha, ha) lineup by diving deeper into the genre and talking: indie horror filmmaking, nepotism, tropes and theme trends, and creative freedom.

Ep 158: Ladies of The View, Step Aside. The New Wave Is Here. 07 Oct 202200:46:45

3 young, hot broadcasters walk into a bar... the bar that is this Zoom. Brace yourselves for this VERY candid conversation with the talented media movers and shakers who both come from traditional hard news and sports backgrounds -- Eryn Cooper (@onairwitheryn) Top 40 radio host at Nashville's Hot 106.7 and Lindsey Nance (@lindz.nance) lifestyle correspondent for Jay Cutler's Outsider platform. This ain't your father's morning show, as we give true experiences and unabashed opinions on: gender in the workplace, men and women being two sides of the same coin, being told how to dress, liberating ourselves from dino networks, rapid-style input on Adam Levine's mistress and Rihanna's Super Bowl hoopla.... and more. Going live in 3, 2, 1...

Ep 157: "How to Make White Women Fall in Love With You" Is a Thing, Guys.28 Sep 202200:33:35

Hide your nudes, hide your wives. And not just from Adam Levine's DMs. Welcome David "cool guy turned internet nerd" McClellan to the chat. He's a tech and marketing expert (just ask Toyota, CBSViacom, and CNET.com) and FOUNDER of SocialCatfish.com. We talk about the catfishing phenomenon, deeper root causes underneath like our society's desperation, loneliness, and pure stupidity, tech lord worship, and the real security of your privacy that will have your camera roll shaking in fear. And to all you PSL-holding, LL Bean-wearing white bitches -- BEWARE because the scammers are coming for you.

Ep 156: Live From Adam Levine's DMs, It's Saturday Night25 Sep 202200:44:15

He may be a sleaze. But she ain't naive. A different and deeper look into the Adam Levine affair hoopla that is literally and figuratively coming for Queen Elizabeth and the throne of her death's spotlight. Also, the bigger picture of how conservative, anti-women pundits are just as self-righteous as woke, anti-men celebs (funny how that works), and how Armie Hammer's ex-wife was somehow the voice of reason above it all this week.

Blended Fest PT 2: To the window, to the wall, to the real talk down our balls18 Sep 202200:48:51

Tell me how you really feel. This episode is ALL things real versus fake with interviews from Blended Fest Nashville about: influencer culture, honest dynamics between men and women vs. the PC mainstream version, social media outings vs. real life, and our obsession with image, filters, and plastic surgery. Interviews include: Blended executive sommelier Matthew-Loren (@thelordofwine), Top 40 radio host Eryn Cooper (@onairwitheryn), artist & TikTok star Michael McCrae (@michaelmccraemusic), top-ranked influencer Jody Slevin (slevin_couture), and beauty influencer Britney Moya (@rockmeupmakeup). Filter me, I dare you.

Blended Fest PT 1: Make mine a double with a side of culture clash18 Sep 202200:31:22

It's a hot mess world and we're just living in it. Here are my interviews about the ongoing culture clash in country music, politics, pop culture, social media and beyond with the following movers and shakers on the ground at BLENDED FESTIVAL in Nashville: artist Honey County (@honeycounty), Top 40 radio host Eryn Cooper (@onairwitheryn), top-ranked influencer Jody Slevin (@slevin_couture), Twisted Sistuhs Wine (@twistedsistuhs), and beauty influencer Britney Moya (@rockmeupmakeup). And I'll take it on the rocks, thanks. 

Ep 155: She Saw Their Privates in the Locker Room & Went on to Tie Them in the Pool16 Sep 202200:47:44

You've heard of the trans athlete Lia Thomas. My guest Riley Gaines is the woman who competed against and tied with her in the arena. Then, she was robbed of the accomplishment and recognition. Riley's vulnerable and authentic Op-Ed detailing her experience was published yesterday on a national platform and today the 12x NCAA All-American and Olympic qualifier joins me for an honest discussion on women's rights, labels, common sense, and the twisted form of misogyny happening in sports culture and beyond. Safe to say, locker room talk just got a whole new meaning.

Ep 287: Why This TRANScends, Pun Intended06 Sep 202400:28:41

What the respective controversies around trans Olympic rugby star Ilona Maher and WNBA player Sophie Cunnhingam have in common and why the critics need a rude awakening from their rightful place in the nosebleeds.

Ep 154: Save a Horse, Ride an Ideology09 Sep 202200:41:42

Saddle up, cowboys, cowgirls, and cowthems, because Cancel Me, Baby is on the ground in Nashville JUST in time for Music City's explosive battle between Brittany Aldean and Maren Morris. As it turns out, the death of having an opinion in this scenario actually coincides perfectly with the unfolding events around the death of the Queen. You read that right. Long live the queen and your earbuds about to take you on this journey.

Ep 153: Putting the Bomb in Bombshell with Nicky Whelan26 Aug 202200:13:04

You ready for a blast down under? Not the kind you think ;) The gorgeous, real, and lively Nicky Whelan is here to talk about her new shark thriller MANEATER, baby (with Shane West and Jeff Fahey -- in theaters and on demand). In the short but very sweet chat, we dive right into the lost appreciation and allure of the timeless vintage bombshell woman, call out society's contradictory and convoluted body image messages, as Nicky reveals her own body journey and why it's not always what it seems, and reflects on her very sexy Men's Health feature from 10 years ago that I have a feeling wouldn't go over so well with the woke folk today.

Ep 152: Barbies, Tomboys & Theys with Lake Bell, Sarah Cooper22 Aug 202200:15:09

Kids say the darndest things. Actresses Lake Bell and Sarah Cooper are here to talk about this and more themes around their Sundance-selected film Summering. It's a modern coming-of-age story about four pre-teen girls in what would otherwise be a breezy, carefree summer adventure.... if it weren't 2022. We get into it about heavy issues kids have to deal with that we didn't, the film's peculiar line about the patriarchy, media's tendency to box women as pretty or smart, and why Lake got flak for posing nude. Plus, her input on our fave Pam & Tommy from her experience directing eps!

Ep 151: In Defense of the Butt Stare ft. Joe Francis17 Aug 202200:43:23

Back by popular demand, it's none other than Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis. Joe was dragged by the media last week and called a creep after posting an old photo with his buddy Kylie Jenner and her notorious ass. In a provocative battle of the sexes convo, not for the woke faint of heart, we get into men and women objectifying each other, biological impulses and men's visual nature, women's autonomy, what he'd say about his own daughters doing Girls Gone Wild, Steven Spielberg's daughter doing porn, and studs verses creeps like Jeffrey Toobin. Eat your heart out, tabloids.

Ep 150: Hot, Smart, & Making Critics Uncomfortable. It's Actor James Morosini12 Aug 202200:19:27

Some called his movie "psuedo incestual." To actor/filmmaker James Morosini, it's his art. The 32-year-old up and comer (Sex Lives of College Girls, American Horror Story) is here to talk about his provacative, funny, and twisted film, SXSW Prize Winner, I Love My Dad. We talk being a renegade in Hollywood, what masculinity means to him in the midst of culture clash around manhood, and marching to the beat of his own drummer in a judgemental business. Big things are ahead for this guy and I'm psyched he's not only a fan of the show but was able to come on. Disclosure: he's hard to look at OK so beware!!!

Ep 149: Good Luck Me Tooing the NFL10 Aug 202201:11:29

If anyone has its shit together... it's not the NFL. An eye-opening look at the organization, Deshaun Watson, and priorities. Here's the conversation people aren't having and the questions worth exploring around the NFL's current and "most egregious" case of alleged ongoing sexual assault by the Cleveland Browns star quarterback. We've seen it in entertainment and in politics, and yet again it's a David and Goliath situation -- one that involves optics, race, Hollywood cowardice, money, entitlement, fame, elitism, power, and the underdog. Joining me for the unfiltered convo are: longtime sports exec David Meltzer and LA sports journalist Nick Hamilton. 

Ep 148: Does This Bikini Make My Brain Look Big?03 Aug 202200:18:08

Your local great white shark ain't got shit when going up against a capable hottie. Aussie Teressa Liane (The Vampire Diaries) is here to talk about her summer thriller, the very Jaws-esque The Reef: Stalked, as we hit: hot girl horror tropes, the viral bikini meme that made everyone feel a type of way, survival mode of going up against a great white.... the great white that is our lives, and more. The Reef: Stalked is in theaters and streaming on Shudder. 

Ep 147: On Behalf of Busty Blondes, Sydney Sweeney Does Not Represent Us29 Jul 202200:36:59

Just call me Christina Aguilera because I'm a genie in a bottle giving you the ep you've been wanting. As someone who's literally bonded with Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney over our big boobs, I'm dissecting, well, the Sydney Sweeney of it all and why her statements ain't doing millennials, women, or the blonde stereotype any damn favors.

Ep 146: When Don Draper No Longer Excites Your Nipples27 Jul 202200:50:49

Former Hollywood actress (Modern Family, New Girl) turned marketing extraordinaire (featured at SXSW, by Glamour, etc) Kelsey Formost is back for PART 2 of our fascinating conversation on the inner working of manipulation and power in none other than... show business, baby!!! Kelsey reveals why she full-on walked out of an audition for a famed horror franchise. She openly speaks to pissing off your reps, dicey Me Too situations, looking at Mad Men in a different light, the return of Entourage (will boys be boys?), art mirroring reality no matter how much they want to erase that, and do gay men give away their gayness in straight on-screen scenes? If so, can you blame 'em?! And lastly, the state of womanhood -- whatever that even means right now.

Ep 145: Ronan Farrow Is Shaking22 Jul 202200:42:32

She’s been on numerous sitcoms. Was in a movie alongside your ab king Zac Efron. Took a van ride alone with a famous actor. And she gives zero effs airing it out. After over a decade as a successful actress in Hollywood, Kelsey Formost joins me for Part 1 of a fascinating convo on the inner working of Hollywood elitism, low key Me Too scumbag energy, neurotic celebrities, and more. Ronan, who?

Ep 144: Let's Talk About Race, Baby13 Jul 202200:55:42

You've thought about it. You may have awkward encounters over it. But have you openly talked about it? Not the sex talk, people. It's time we talk about race (in Salt-N-Pepa style)... baby. 

After speaking at a Mastermind Q&A, I was approached by a phenomenal businesswoman in the audience with a pitch that was unlike any other. Yes! Coach Lisa approached me to have an OPEN convo across racial lines on these ever-relevant taboo topics -- to say what we were thinking without fear, name-calling and boxing, and yes, with levity and fun. 

And that's what we did. 

You will love @lisaembracefitness, who brings a wealth of experience and knowledge as a former Jersey federal prosecutor and civil rights coordinator and current CEO of Embrace Your Fitness as a coach of the people to say fuck it and live their lives honestly without judgement. 

We navigate issues like: Roseanne Barr, the country singer who used the n-word in real life and rappers using it in music, do Kardashian braids and butts = appropriation?, awkward grocery store interactions, CA's proposed bill separating school kids on race, and more. Lisa sees both sides of every coin and it's as refreshing as it is eye-opening. 

Get out of the shadows, Say Yes! and let's do this. And if you feel so inclined... cancel us, baby.

Now pass the booze pls & ty.

Ep 142: Not Your Father's Locker Room Talk29 Jun 202200:59:59

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 contributor to MLB Bro with appearances on NBC LA, BBC, and iHeart. We also deep dive into the pool of Lia Thomas's speedo with a nuanced look at trans competitors in sports, the BET Awards and Stacey Dash of it all, and when it comes to Diddy uncancelling Morgan Wallen and Travis Scott... is one actually unlike the other? For the road, let's not forget Ariana Grande, hip hop's low-key thief in the night, and my interview with her co-writer. You may never 34+35 the same again.
