  • Soured on this

    Looking back at the review I wrote years ago (5 stars, former Patreon member) I had to go and correct the record. I wrote how fair and unbiased Cam was, which unfortunately has completely changed in recent years. Her celebrity worship has gone too far and she goes out of her way to villainize anyone (celebrity or regular person) that dare critique Taylor Swift.

    This pod went straight when the Gaylor story ran into trad wife ma ga territory. Now it’s a bore.

  • Disgusting people

    I made a comment on how upset I would be if a woman like BL one day falsely accused my son of SH. This person then proceeded to call my little boy a future predator that would freely walk in on a naked woman and would joke about sexual acts. I have screenshots to share if needed! It is disgusting and revolting to attack an innocent child. These people should be ashamed at themselves for online bullying of a MINOR. No one should support these awful people!!!

  • Parasocial much?

    When I started this podcast 3+ years ago, it was a fun, mindless listen to clean my kitchen to. Now it verges upon worship for a billionaire who makes music I exercise to sometimes and some guy who plays football. This girl doesn’t need a platform; she needs a cease-and-desist.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Haylor Secrets: The REAL story of Taylor Swift and Harry Styles
Q: What is the strongest evidence that Haylor may have been real or PR-driven, based on what you discussed?
The strongest evidence is a combination of verifiable public interactions (meetups, tweets, pool party mentions) and the way insiders and publicists may leak selective information to shape narratives, coupled with the fact that timing across multiple sources aligns in a way that could support a real connection while still leaving room for PR influence.
Everything You Got Wrong About Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni
Q: Who do you think is going to win this thing?
Given the mass of evidence and corroborating witnesses involved, it's unlikely Baldoni's allegations could carry much weight in court. Expect the case to be significant, particularly concerning the smear campaign context.
The Tortured Poets Defense
Q: What are you ultimately hoping to see from Taylor in the future?
I would love to see her reinvent herself again, just because she gives us such beautiful art when she does.
The Tortured Poets Defense
Q: What did you think of the album overall?
I think it’s a great album but not her greatest.
