GWNJ's voice KILLS me! I literally cannot stand it. It is nails on a chalkboard to me. I dont care how intelligent you are if you talk like that you sound like a complete ditz. Drives. Me. Crazy.

 
I could only listen to her a few times (at least once was on WUWT) and it seemed like all she was doing was screaming. Couldn’t take that so that was the end. (I’m trying not to type “I” because that whole stupid replacement thing is PISSING.ME.OFF!)

So Deborah Graham had the 6am-7am spot this morning.

Oh yeah- how was it? Was she as annoying as ever or was it entertaining? An hour of Deborah Graham- I don't know if I could stand it. I really don't like that woman much....

So annoying, she gave like horoscopes but repeated phrases all the time. She is such a fake.

Today on Jenny Hutt, she had a plastic surgeon on.  He mentioned a product from oil of Olay and she was like: wait, you like the product because you use it and not because you got a ton free, right?  She said they couldn't talk about brands unless they actually use them and not because a company sent them stuff free to talk about it. That made me wonder if Tay did that with something?  Maybe a company sent her free stuff and she talked about it even though she didn't use?

Hmmmm, what did she talk about that she didn't pay for.....

West Bay Club and Grace Bay Club?

Yeah, I think the issue is the opposite of the ads. If a company pays for ads, that's one thing. If a company sends a host free stuff outside of the show and the host then plugs the company/product with out so much as a disclosure, that can be an issue. Maybe it was even an internal Sirius issue?

Or it could be that there is a crackdown happening on that stuff all around. I'm sure everyone has read about "celebs" getting in trouble for not disclosing things correctly on Instagram (there's probably even been articles posted here about it). Maybe it's not just Instagram accounts that they're cracking down on.
 

I think Tay crossed a line into the payola/plugola area more than a few times.  For all we know, she could have been previously warned and chose to ignore it.  The advertising of the hotels, probably made it worse b/c of their connection to a former Sirius manager, and was probably the coup de grace that got her fired.  It is pretty clear she stood to personally profit from her connection to the resorts in one form or another.  And for sure the former Sirius manager was going to benefit from it financially thru her husband.  I agree w/the folks who have opined that this was either a dumb mistake/greed as opposed to some kind of malicious intent.  But a 35 year old who has been in the business for over 10 years can hardly plead innocence and be believed.  That does not pass the smell test.

Probably a bunch of emails came out outlining the guidelines of what was expectable and what wasn't, unfortunately she didn't check the work email. I wonder if Katie warned her, then she got in trouble for the trip and that was comment about should of been listening to her.

SAME! Ill be interested when she pops her head out of the sand with something, but won't follow her. Im curious what BS she will spill but then that'll be it.

I've been wondering how much power/influence the producer has over the show. Does anyone know what the dynamic is? We've been crapping all over Taylor for eating on air, repeating stories, interrupting....the list goes on, but I feel like some of that has to fall on Katie, right? What exactly is a producer's job?

But Taylor always mentioned how Katie was throwing her looks when she was constantly repeating stories.

When Steph was the producer I remember more structure to the show. The segments seemed to be better planned and prepared. There were celeb interviews on the regular and also segments that were Steph's influence (Tooney Tunes Tuesday's, Throw Back Thursdays). I think the ONLY reason Tay was a fan of Katie is because she didn't see her as competition.... professionally and physically.

You know I wonder if part of the difference is because Steph kept it more professional and did run a tight ship. It seems like Katie and Taylor hung out a lot as friends away from the show a lot, which is fine, but it probably made it difficult for Katie to put her foot down with Taylor and be able to really do her job.

I want to know why they didn't like Steph  When they talked about the one time how Kenny sent a group text instead of just to Taylor saying Steph should never work in radio again. Yhkkkkkkkes!

I thinkmTaylor was used to running her own show, Steph came in and took over and that rocked the boat. As much as I love Kenny, he could be a little mean girl and I think Taylor would take that andnrun withnit. As someone else said, Katie was more of a friend, so then line was blurry, and really, you can only push a person to do so much. Taylormmentioned manyntimes ignoring what Katie had said.

I think that's probably what's happened with Matt as well. He realized it was a sinking ship, he could only bail so much water out and grabbed a oife boat off the sinking SSTayTay


Sorry for the terrible writing, on my iPad and can't actually see the reply box 😕

lmao do you really think he isn't with her anymore?

Steph confuses me...like I do think she in intelligent, she’s currently fighting for maternity/paternity leave and even wrote an article for time online, but she’s a spin instructor? Seems like a waste of her talents? IMO.
