I know! I am so sick of hearing about the Pope. Who cares! 

The first hour of today's show was a prime example of 45 minutes of content that contained absolutely no new thoughts after 10. The other 35 minutes - repeat, repeat, repeat. Strident, strident, strident. 

I would rather listen to Taylor and Kenny talk about their days/evenings than talk about a "hot topic" - that's when Taylor is at her worst. She goes on and on and gets so charged up over nothing and just repeats herself like crazy. And nothing gets said! It's amazing!

Taylor talks on and on lately about gay marriage. Too much? Bringing it up again in regards to the Pope and the rainbows and she knows deep down he supports gay marriage. What?? She is so fixated on this. Is it me or does she talk about being gay, Ruby Rose, etc... way more than she used to. I could care less what her sexual orientation is, but she does seem to protest too much lately. That along with hating sex, hating penis, she considers herself asexual, and her best friend is a lesbian. Again, don't care just an observation.

 
I had the same thought this morning. She seems SO set on it and it struck me as odd that someone that wasn't having those types of feelings herself would be so passionate about it. Her being with a woman was brought up on Sam's show one time she was on and she was coy about it and basically alluded to the fact that she was leaving all options open and didn't know what the future held for her.

Did you catch the last 10 minutes of the show today where Taylor really gave Kenny credit for being the feminist voice on the show even before she was? It was pretty awesome. I like this whole evolution of Taylor thing even if it is rocky at times.

Haha, i posted a topic about enough with the Pope talk. I wish I'd read these newer messages on this thread! I am so sick of it. I understand the Pope was in the US last week and it's a hot topic of sorts, but she talked about him too much even before this past week/couple of weeks. 

This has probably been said to death, but the show needs more structure or something. I used to love the show when it was just Tay and Kenny talking back and forth about issues. Now i wish they would bring back more segments or something. Almost hitched bitch, don't do it gal, etc. Might inspire some new topics. Anything! I have been hitting the fast forward button on my OnDemand a lot lately. 

^ I agree with this a ton. I think she's struggling because she's been so raked over the coals lately that she won't go back to talking about personal stuff. And you're right that this is supposed to be a light show. They aren't really supposed to be doing heavier topics. Not to say that the repetitiveness isn't getting old. It is. But I think she got a lot of shit for not doing current hot topics. Now she is, the Matt Damon comments, the Pope comments as he was leaving. All this was current news this morning. But it's still not what people want. I think the show is in a can't win situation with a lot of people right now. It'll take time I think to get their rhythm back. And I think Kenny needs to be back in studio for that to happen.

Agreed! I know she doesn't want to talk about herself, but take calls and discuss someone else's wedding for Almost Hitched Bitch. I fowarded through most of the second hour on the pope today and also skipped Lena's interview b/c she was talking about masterbation yet again.

I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but why can't they come up with new segments, or maybe it's time to bring in a third person if the two of them don't want to share their personal lives anymore. It seemed like when Steph was there the show had structure and moved along. Do other shows plan before hand topics to discuss or do they all just get in front of the mic and wing it? I think because she has nothing planned she just keeps discussing the same subjects and repeating the same stories. She said she used to just show up and be on auto pilot, well what is she doing different now?

That's what I mean about getting their rhythm back I think. It seems like they kind of just chalked the summer up to a transition period. So much was going on that they just needed to get by. I think (or maybe I hope) they're in the tail end of that and they'll start to ramp things up for the end of the year/beginning of next with some fresh stuff once Kenny is back regularly. I also get the feeling she doesn't want a third voice on air. Especially a female that she would view as competition. I think that's why we don't hear Katie despite her being there for awhile now. I always liked the dynamic when Victiria was there. The friction made things interesting. But who knows they could keep mailing it in, too.

Kudos to Taylor today. She has an opinion and she backed it. Loved loved loved today's show! And Kenny was on point as well.

YES!! I'm just finishing up the second hour but so far this is the best show I've heard in a long time!

I thought todays' show was great! Kind of bethos that Robert Verdi didn't show though.

I didn't hear that part - I can't believe he didn't show up AGAIN.  

I'm not at that point in the show, but that is annoying that he didn't show AGAIN! If he does not want to have a "segment", that is the way Taylor made it sound it would be, he should just say that. Instead of being unprofessional and just not showing up. What is this the 3rd time? 

She needs to not have him on.....or prerecord his segment.

I haven't heard the beginning of this weeks shows, is Kenny still at his inlaws?

Yes! He said he would be back for the next FKF. Not sure if that is this Friday or not?
