Cancel Me, Baby!: Recent Episodes
Taylor Ferber
In the only show of its kind, a red carpet reporter turned pop culture provocateur takes years of interviewing celebrities and being immersed in Hollywood to challenge norms and say what we're really thinking. Each week, "Celebrity Whisperer" Taylor Ferber weighs in on pop culture and taboo issues in an irreverent, pull-no-punches way that breaks out of political lines and PC boxes. Oh, and it's pretty sexy. Come for the raw celeb encounter stories, stay for the controversial dialogues that would make the other shows blush.

^And don't @ me. I'm joined by the stars of Prime's new competition series The GOAT, CJ Franco (FBoy Island), Joe Amabile (Bachelor Nation), and Lauren Speed-Hamilton (Love Is Blind, season 1 OG), as they duke it out for reality star GOAT crown. I hit 'em with the not-the-usual questions, as we talk big picture of our culture's obsession with being famous, the lengths of shamelessness people will go, and more. Call me piña colada 'cause your brain's getting a lil vacation.

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-fcketeers 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 vs. hot. But can’t we discern pure pettiness from good ol' honesty? And what’s the underlying reality beneath it all? Truth hurts, babe. And I'm here to tell you cus Momala sure as sht won't.

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 crazy turn of events in my public fight for free speech after being suspended at VH1 and serendipitously on NPR a few years later to talk about it, mirroring the current, huge national story around NPR's whistleblower editor Uri Berliner. I also address Tucker’s weird turn and Candacegate at the Daily Wire. Because does challenging authority ever go too far?

In an ep different from the show's usual speed, I sit down with professional Spiritual Advisor Charles Dotson (TikTok @numericalinsights) who uses the ancient practice of numerology to give big-picture insights on the chaotic state of the world. To get your feet wet, and to indulge good ol' millennial narcissism, the first half is my personal life number and pinnacles overview. In the second half, Charles explains how the numbers are coming for YOU, Big Govt, Hollywood, corporations, banking, stock market, real estate, and more, with power struggles, scandals, and high-powered structures being exposed. I reckon Diddy was just the beginning... Plus, do the numbers predict the ever-looming WWIII? Shit gets real.

For you OG listeners, I have a lil something that'll have you more surprised than Diddy's sons being dragged out in handcuffs in the middle of their afternoon tea. THE TWO BLONDES ARE BACK, BABY! In the only show reunion that the people need, I'm joined by my original podcast co-host, the one and only Emily Blair Marcus, because Two Blondes STILL don't make a right. In usual blonde style, we dissect: the many ways the Diddy raid and "Quiet on Set" Nickelodeon doc align, Hollywood's aversion to Israel and love for terrorists, Kate Middleton's AI clone's diagnosis announcement theory, and more. And in a plot twist of the ages, Emily has gone from riffing on the most powerful celeb publicists with me... to becoming one of them. Her firm is taking over Hollywood like Gavin Newsom's hair gel and she tells us all about being on the other side of the beautiful and dysfunctional chaos that is entertainment media.

Hot. Hustling. And knocked up. What's your point? For the first time on the show, I'm joined by a super talented and SUPER pregnant guest. This jaded Hollywood chick has seen it all, y'all. And I've never seen a performer rock it on stage while unapologetically displaying a baby bump in a sparkly mini dress with legs out, pipes on display, and owning every minute of it like I saw this rising star do at a recent event I hosted. Fellow Tri-State firecracker Carolyn Miller is a CMT "Next Up Now" artist, played Barefoot Country fest along with Blake Shelton, Kid Rock, and Darius Rucker this year, and is certifiably TikTok viral. Fascinated, I get into: Why IS it so rare and taboo to see pregnant women simultaneously perform and do their thing (while looking sexy) in pop culture? (Couldn't POSSIBLY be the sexuality of it all, now, could it??.....) We also explore: breaking out of the box of being pregnant OR a hustler with a dream, political cancel culture nonsense (ie; Jason Aldean, Luke Combs, Marren Morris), and separating art from the artist (ie; Kid Rock, Kanye). It's a total breath of fresh air we need just when lunatics like the UPenn President were out here testing the last of our patience, so dive in and have fun in this entertaining ep fertile for conversation. See what I did there?

When bin Laden was killed, I was among the thousands of college kids and Americans who flooded the streets in celebration. 12 years later, we're again seeing thousands take to the streets in celebration... this time, of terrorists. Dr. Sheila Nazarian, Emmy-winning TV personality, esteemed Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, and activist, enters the chat for a no-holds-barred, brutally honest conversation with me as two Jewish women in the media deeply affected by the war in Israel. We air out the thoughts and questions you've had behind closed doors. Is our society, the product of a TikTok information war, really that ignorant? Or is it just a deep, pure resentment and disregard of Jews? It's the conversation you're not seeing anywhere else, and in some ways, a rude awakening.

We know by now a Me Too moment that crosses the line is bad. (Good job, class!) But what about the non-extreme, more common experience of women enduring... plain, unsatisfactory sex? Award-winning Filmmaker Susanna Fogel (Flight Attendant, Booksmart writer) argues the latter is more worth talking about. Have to say, think I agree. She's here to talk about her official Sundance 2023 selection film CAT PERSON, based on the 2017 New Yorker short story that was the first work of short fiction to ever go viral and sparked debate about gender, sex, and power. Needless to say, she's come to the right place ;)

The conversation you have behind closed doors -- with honesty, heart, disagreement... and zero censoring. I called on my two badass, fellow entertainment Nashville pals who happen to be the fiercest, most knowledgeable female activists I know to have the feminism vs. man-hating conversation. They challenge me and my female empowerment optimism (as I do them) and it's all out on the floor. Welcome Shea Carter (performer and co-founder of the Womxn of Tomorrow Foundation) and Lou Ridley (artist and songwriter) as we hit: Is "empowerment" naivety?, are genders really equal?, what is a man and masculinity?, where does culture dictating women's sexuality come into play?, and of course, where we're at with Me Too and has it been hurtful or helpful? Getting into the forbidden spaces, maybe you'll see yourself in the conversation. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll burn a bra or you may just jump your man’s bones. It's an eye-opening dialogue and if there's anything you will do -- it's think.

A rebel with a cause, Dr. Robert Malone is a world-renowned physician who was just a little too inconvenient for the powers that be during the pandemic. As an architect of mRNA technology, Dr. Malone voiced concerns over Covid vaccine safety and mandates (going viral on Joe Rogan) and -- to no surprise -- was completely defamed. Sticking it (no pun intended) to Fauci and every major US media outlet, he's made his speaking rounds, he's fostered a massive Substack following, but now the Cancelled King is here like you haven't seen him before. In Cancel Me, Baby style, we're peeling back the curtain as Dr. Malone enters the chat with his partner in (thought) crime, confidante, and in many ways, the brains behind his operation, his longtime wife Dr. Jill Malone, to share their story in a different light.

From testifying in Congress, to his falling out with (hypocrite much?) Elon Musk, and the IRS showing up at Matt's door -- punches are not to be pulled. We discuss getting shut out by our narrative-driven editors, our experiences at legendary outlets like Rolling Stone and Playboy (that both went from cutting edge to thought police), the bizarre left-right role reversal in the culture wars, and the future as the death of legacy media is more brutal and dragged out than the Red Wedding.

Covid ain't shit. The insecure male is the new pandemic in town. From Jonah Hill to Dave Portnoy, and the mother-load of the Andrew Tate-Tucker Carlson sit-down, this episode discerns the difference between plain insecurity and true misogyny in this all-around mess of masculine identity I've been vocal about for years. Big picture, guys: Why did 50 million people watch the Tate-Carlson circus show in one day? Further, why did it resonate with so many as gospel? Hate to say I told you so, but as an advocate for the restoration of REAL, honorable masculinity, I could've predicted this years ago.

They both acknowledge the PC antics can be ridiculous and, as Chris put it, "inclusive language is hilarious." ('Cus it is.) But how do entities like the Olympics miss the mark?

PART 1: Ain't no quotas here at Cancel Me, Baby. This is the honest conversation we deserve. Pop culture and advertisers are really proud of themselves for railing "representation" in our heads so much so that we've heard the word more than our own thoughts. But how do people on the other side of it actually feel? Namely, ones with disabilities? I'm joined by two badasses, who happen to be friends and Cancel Me, Baby fans, to find out. Chris Koch (@ifican.chriskoch) was born with partially developed limbs, is a Tedx and motivational speaker, and will happily screw with people who act weird around him. Caitlyn Pallas (@caitlynpallas) is technically quadrapelegic, beat stage 3 lymphoma, and prefers the "JUST ASK, don't stare" approach when she's in a wheelchair. So I ask the questions you want to know answers to. Is "disability" even the right word? Are they put in some kind of box? Can people around them lighten up? And so much more.

ATTENTION, LADIES: not sure if you knew this, but you're a victim exploited by men at all costs whether you like it or not, OK? Glad we're clear! But seriously, Hollywood, the media, and the internet's obsession with victimizing powerful women has gotten out of control. Rachel Bilson lost a job for saying she likes being "f*cking manhandled" (no you don't, it promotes toxic masculinity!), and Lily-Rose Depp defends her highly controversial show "The Idol" that Rolling Stone called "torture porn" and the internet called a "grotesque rape fantasy." My question is: have any of these people actually talked to a woman... or listened to the ones here? Our culture's "progressives" have turned into the conservatives they mock, and you all can get snipped like The Weeknd's rattail for boxing women in as far as I'm concerned.

Josh Duhamel's raunchy new buddy comedy "Buddy Games: Spring Awakening" is packed with social commentary, hitting EVERY hot-button, taboo topic -- from a dog's pronouns to racism, sexism, all the isms -- encouraging the masses to lighten up. The director/star and his co-stars Kevin Dillon (Entourage) and Dan Bakkedahl (VEEP) talk to me over a beer about: the art (and necessity) of making fun of the otherwise unspeakable, men's biological fixation on boobs, the timeless dick joke, and what this is all about at the end of the day: the primal desire for freedom. Pour me another round.

Perpetually disgruntled person on social media, actress Jameela Jamil, called out Hollywood for being big, fat hypocrites at this year's Met Gala. For once, the lady has a point. And I let her know it. In addition to my online interaction with her regarding the issue and my stance (eerily similar to the one I had with Chrissy Teigen a few years back), I detail how she's spot on in their true hypocrisy when it comes to selective cancelling. However, her reasoning of WHY in this case (regarding this year's Met theme of late designer Karl Lagerfeld), I feel, is a stretch. Almost as big of a stretch as your sweatpants, which Karl despised. Listen now.

Santa came early because your much-needed breath from the psychosis of the news cycle is here. But who needs Santa when you have... BATWOMAN. Tune into this inquisitive yet fun, provocative conversation with actress Javicia Leslie here to talk about her new Paramount film "Double Life." Javicia, who you've seen on The CW's "Batwoman" as the title role and "The Flash," gives super thoughtful takes on the infidelity trope as she plays the other woman. Both on and off screen, she leads by example with her non-victim mentality. She asks: Why NOT indulge woman-on-woman drama since it's real? And of course you'd expect to hear "monogamy isn't natural" coming from a dude. But to change things up: enter, Javicia.

Remember the society in which Tampax wanted their products promoted by individual who doesn't have periods? Where elite athletic orgs encouraged biological men to smoke their female competition? Where you were called crazy for thinking it was all crazy? Same. But nothing to see here, folks, just good ol' gaslighting and female mockery at its finest! It's not The Twilight Zone. It's another Monday in the American news cycle.
In today's episode, I dive into the continued chaos around trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney and an issue much bigger than an unused tampon: the line of celebrating trans women and stepping on all other women -- and where the line is not only blurred but ignored harder than your taxes. I ask: Is this really your trans female hero? ('cus it ain't mine), while reflecting on my Riley Gaines interview experience, trans women we should be looking up to, and feminist of our time Emily Ratajkowski's part in Marc Jacobs' new "genderless" campaign.
My common sense can't help but wonder: Isn't genderless and individuality an oxymoron? Why can we do this identity abandoning and fluctuating with gender but not race? And why are these conversations ALWAYS.around.women for crying out loud?

While I may be wondering why a person who hasn't even had tits for a year is enlisted by Nike to sell us sports bras, I'd still argue we have bigger fish to fry. In the continuous news cycle from Hades itself (don't tell The Daily Wire I said that!!!), I'm here to talk about how objects that used to be associated with fun and joy -- like beer and teddy bears -- are now used as political tools to trigger chaos and all out war. I wish I was kidding. I wish I could reminisce on my first Build-A-Bear in peace. But no. It's 2023. And from trans influencers to drag queens, prominent forces on either side frankly aren't doing anyone any favors in this battle around gender identity. With some of my celeb trans and drag queen experiences, and a will to effing go another day in this godforsaken mess, I'm here to help.

Stormy Daniels. You may have heard the name. Especially if you've been a conscious, breathing being with ears over the last week, chances are pretty high! Well, four years ago, I was featured right next to Stormy in the opening Playbill of Playboy's Anniversary Issue dedicated to, of all things, freedom. I had a feature about women being free to break out of the "brains or beauty" boxes. She had a feature on the heels of speaking out about her affair with Trump about being free to break out of the "hero or whore" boxes the media put her in. Now, she's the center of Trump's unprecedented, explosive, and politicized potential indictment and arrest.... and here we are. Here's my view of it all that no one seems to get.

Meet the no-holds-barred, business-savvy badasses behind country music icon Trace Adkins: his ex-partner (who discovered him), talent manager Rhonda Forlaw Adkins, and daughter Mackenzie. The walls of their swanky Music City business office Rhonda & Company have never heard a chat quite like this before. Myth-busting includes: women's suppression in entertainment, the real Morgan Wallen story, old white men running country, and the genre being a band of MAGA-loving nutbags. Confirmations include: unabashedly using your sexuality in business, oversensitivity being a copout, entertainment's No Fun Club sucking the life out of it, and the real pandemic that is entitlement.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

From singing the n-word to navigating cancel culture, and Hollywood's hypocrisy to wondering why the Kardashian-Jenners won't acknowledge their own black babies and partners, the conversation may not always be comfortable, but it's necessary.

A conversation with Nikki Reed about "Twilight"? Over Edward Cullen's non-dead body. This week, Taylor and Emily are joined by vet reporters Scott Huver and Alex Cramer to get a male POV on things -- and by "things" we mean that celebs aren't having any of your shit. The guys talk about how sexuality may or may not help in interviews, what the Playboy mansion was ACTUALLY like, and when Nikki Reed busted Alex's balls. Vampires may be immortal, but their memory sucks.

Emily and Taylor reflect on the future of red carpet reporting because eventually Zoom interviews will get as old as conversations with our house plants. Detailing recent interview experiences with celebs like Whitney Port and Mischa Barton, the blondes wonder if celebrities are taking this time in their mansions to connect with Jesus and their crystals and realize they should be a little damn nicer to the press.

Celebrities suck at COVID-19 and clearly their wealth can't buy them self-awareness. Unless the Hollywood elite are going to pay our rent, then shush. In an open letter to Chrissy Teigen and her 12 nannies, to J. Lo and her child servant, and Meghan and Harry in their Malibu compound, Emily and Taylor call the BS on celebrities' "contributions" to the coronavirus pandemic because if they're not taking our Venmo, then we don't want to hear it.

Plain and simple: The term “female empowerment” has got to go. And this is coming from two badass, millennial entrepreneurs. But from our vantage point, a lot of celebrities preaching this concept and talking the talk, don’t walk the walk. Given our personal experiences, we’re calling out the hypocrisy and taking names as we do it. We even play powerful interview audio from celebrities including Mira Sorvino and R. Kelly survivors in a provocative take on #MeToo. Here’s what “female empowerment” should really look like from the Hollywood elite...

This episode takes on a more serious topic, the death of Kobe Bryant, and our incredibly atypical experiences on Grammys day, with Taylor covering the awards at the Staples Center, the epicenter of Kobe’s life, while Emily reported live from the crash site minutes after the accident happened. We give listeners an eyewitness experience of the historic event that you won’t hear anywhere else. But, of course, the show must go on, so we also provide moments of levity revealing wacky, behind-the-scenes moments from the day, like the blackout at Steven Tyler’s Viewing Party and DJ Khaled’s uncomfortable backstage moments.

Times they are a-Changin’, and celeb access sure isn’t what it used to be. From publicists treating us like we’re on an FBI watch list, to encountering Leonardo DiCaprio and his anxiety, our personal stories take you directly into the industry madness that intensifies by the day. We reveal challenging interactions with Kristen Bell and Scott Eastwood, expose the questionable behavior of the HFPA (and how the Golden Globes are likely rigged), and give you a rare view into celebrity culture, why it’s become paralyzed by censorship, and how reporters - and the public - are the ones paying the price.
