Two Personal with Joy Taylor

Two Personal goes LIVE for the first time, aboard Urban One's One Voyage cruise!

Joy Taylor is back in the studio after a month on the road. She, Hayley and Spex finally celebrate 50 episodes, and the conversation goes everywhere. Joy breaks down her nine-page LA ballot, whether it’s okay to tune out after the midterms, and why January 6th changed how she sees the country. Then the crew takes on the viral Threads post telling short girls to leave 6'4"+ men to the tall girls. Joy explains why that makes no sense, Spex walks through his dating-app height math, and Joy confesses to a COVID-era FaceTime Bible study she did to impress a man. Plus: Thanksgiving vs. Christmas, the smoke detector beep debate, Halloween on the One Voyage cruise, and a heated round of Personally, Would You Rather: work through a difficult relationship or start over?

A bride billed her guests $75.90 for skipping her wedding over childcare issues, and Joy has thoughts. Joy, Hayley and Spex get into how Instagram changed wedding culture, why a big wedding is really about your guests, gift etiquette, and the true cost of destination weddings. Plus: Hayley’s MySpace-era catfish story, whether AI romance scams should be a crime, the fake Brad Pitt scam, and a PSA from Joy: if it isn’t @joytaylortalks, it isn’t her, and she will never DM you for money. Then Joy holds a parenting seminar on kids interrupting adults, Spex takes the messy-man quiz, Joy tells the story of the ex with a mattress on the floor, and the crew gets into men’s accountability problem (he’s not “babysitting,” it’s his kid).

Hayley shares her perspective as a parent of an elementary schooler, and Joy recalls the question an Irish tour guide asked her about America’s kids.

Joy Taylor checks in from New York City (with a special guest appearance by Dexter) alongside Hayley and Spex. The crew reacts to the viral list of the worst things men have said to women, and Joy shares three of her own, including one that still stings. Then: tip prompt fatigue, why corporations are the real problem, and Joy’s non-negotiable rules for group dinners (Venmo before you get up from the table).
