Welcome!!! I didn't hear the Maria story, that's gross. They have been through so much and seem like such a solid couple, why would she think it, let alone say it on the radio 😕

 
No, her story was to show than even the good guys can be perceived as creepy because of all the bad ones out there. He invited her up there to talk about work. She was hesitant. Then when she got up there, Maria either answered the door or was right there. There was nothing sexual about the invitation.

ETA oops just reread yours and the last post. I misread. You guys have got the right handle on the situation. Never mind me over here!

Nothing.Not a damn thing. She'll try to co-host other podcasts, Stassi, Claudia etc.... Then talk about trying her own. Then maybe do it on FB live. Then not do it...... Then post about doing it.  I really think she needs a mentor more than ever. And by mentor, I don't mean a 24 yr old fanboy. A woman with a career maybe not in radio or TV media. Magazines maybe???  But someone that has no fucks to give and will actually teach and guide her.  

The thing about T that I've always been kind of envious of is no matter what, she only fails sideways. She has such a great support system, I don't think she'll ever really suffer through, worry about rent, food etc.... thats where you get your hustle.

 
Think she'd ever move back in with Babette?

Hopefully she has a nest egg...isn't her rent steep?

Lori has connections, and I feel like she knows how to hustle. She could mentor if she could manage a little tough love.

What does that mean? Like youre amount of reviews dictate how many you can do? So I couldn't just start a podcast and do it daily?

 
Yep...she is always pushing reviews saying it's the only way to get more shows in a week.

But Lori, I don't think, has an objective view of Taylor. She fan-girls out too much about Babette. She does have connections, though.

 
I agree. She has the connections and knowledge, but I don’t think she could tell Taylor the things she doesn’t want to hear.

Yea. She needs someone that doesn't know her in this way.  Someone that would consider it a job to assist her. She may be able to intern (Paid or unpaid) for a while if she can cover her bills. It's going to be a shock to the system though.

Yup. Its not going to be fun. But hopefully a learning experience.

She never had to start at the bottom though, I don't know that she could swallow her pride that much. She's all about the imaginary hustle, it's gonna be a wake up to find out what it really is.

 
You’re absolutely correct.

Her “hustle” and work ethic she’s demonstrated these past few years is performative.... smoke and mirrors.

She loved to drag Kelly Ripa about her not showing up to ONE show but mind you Tay is the same woman who bragged, multiple times on air, about throwing a fit and refusing a job Matt set up  for her a day before or close to a holiday (thinking it was Xmas or New Years)

That’s not work ethic or hunger.

I’m actually disappointed in Tay for pissing away such an amazing opportunity. In 10 years time she should and  could have had her own channel. I truly believe that.

She’s always had a safety net (rich parents, wealthier husband, divorce settlement) so there wasn’t a reason for her to feel that actual hunger to accomplish some of her bigger goals.

If she starts a podcast, she better have Matt give a tutorial on how to listen, because all of her psycho fans have literally NO IDEA what a podcast is, let alone how to even use the app.

And if she does do a podcast, it will one millllllliiiooonnn percent be patreon.

So now I'm wondering- were the side hustle's so important because she was already on shaky ground with Sirius for awhile? After what you said, micdrop, it just triggered my memory- you know how she always wanted people to repeat themselves so she could record listeners saying they only had Sirius XM for her show? She would say "you hear that bosses?" always kind of joke-y sounding- but maybe it wasn't. That coupled with the desperate attempts to get gigs OUTSIDE of Sirius makes me wonder if she wasn't already in trouble a few times before, and whatever recent event just occurred was the kill shot.....and maybe that is why she was sort of phoning it in on the show for quite some time- she might have known the gig wasn't going to last much longer. 

 
Oooooo...yes, you might be on to something!

Rob said on an Insta comment, I believe, that ratings for WU were great.

Taylor has said for years Sirius doesn't do ratings. I looked into it awhile ago, and its because its satellite, the feed only goes one way so they can't tell what people are actually listening to, only that they are. She did say they track OnDemand shows, so maybe that's what she is talking about? Which if that's true, she may have a chance with a podcast if she can actually keep with doing one.

I almost always listened On Demand and many people on the Surprise Me topics said they did too, so you might be right about that.

I listened exclusively on demand. I'm not on Facebook but definitely a fan of Taylor and really miss the show. It wasn't perfect, but it was entertaining and an escape in my stressful day. I do know how to listen to podcasts and that is what I'm listening to now instead of wake up. But anyway, I just called to cancel Sirius and the representative said he's spoken with several others over the week who have cancelled for the same reason. He told me that the show has been removed temporarily for holiday programming. That explanation doesn't make sense to me for a variety of reasons, and I told him as much. But he repeated it over and over again. He said I would be emailed if/when the show comes back on the air. Is it possible she has been suspended for some reason and there's a chance the show will come back?

I think the show is gone.  Taylor has commented pretty matter of factly that she is no longer with SiriusXM, Rob said something like the thinks it's over, and Jenny Hutt said also said Taylor was no longer with the company.  If it was temporary the announcements would probably be more vague.
 

I think the CSR are getting bored with all the calls and just keeping it interesting. She's posted on IG she no longer employed by Sirius. And if it were just a scheduling issue, someone else would be lined up for that spot, Jenny wouldn't be filling in. I saw a FB post the other day they had just added 75 new channels, I think room is not a problem for them!!!
