This week I’m joined by Bransen Gates — Social media genius, actor, and Equinox instructor who somehow balances going viral with making people actually enjoy working out.

We're diving into how Bransen first started posting online, the rise of his unmistakable voiceover videos (yes, those Trump ones), and how his creative process has evolved over time. We also bond over our mutual hatred of Halloween. Because let’s be honest, it’s just gay Christmas. But somehow this leads to the brilliant realization that the Louvre heist happened at just the right time to double as the perfect last-minute costume.

Bransen gives a real look at the life of a fitness instructor — the routines, the regulars, and the moments that never make it to social media.

And thanks to our partner Avenue8 for providing the delicious beverages!!

We’ve got America’s Next Top Model winner and New York-by-way-of-the-UK it-girl, Sophie Sumner! One of my absolute favorite things about Sophie is that she can light up literally any room she walks into — I swear, if the power went out, we’d all still be fine. Her energy is absolutely contagious, and I couldn’t be more excited to have her on this week’s episode.

We’re getting into everything — life in New York, the wild world of influencer trips (spoiler alert: not all trips are created equal), and, of course, what it was really like being on one of the most iconic reality TV shows ever. Plus, Sophie’s now chasing her acting dreams and absolutely crushing it. I’m just saying — I’m honored that one day I’ll get to say, “I knew her when.”

Fair warning, you really might want to take this one off speaker.

Today, we've got internet’s most fearlessly honest creator, Colman Feighan — the master of clocking chaos with care. And yes, he’s bringing every bit of that energy to today’s episode.

We’re breaking down The Life of a Showgirl — Taylor’s new album — and talking all things sparkle, storytelling, and self-awareness. Then, we’re diving into the wild world of dating red flags and giving our best advice to you — the brave souls who wrote in with your questions.It’s candid, chaotic in the best way, and full of the kind of honesty you didn’t know you needed. Let’s get into it.

Where do I even begin with this episode? I’m joined by my NYC day-one, my ride-or-die — the one and only Carole Radziwill. You guys flooded my inbox with questions, and trust me, we got into all of it. From whether she’d ever return to #RHONY, to her take on Ryan Murphy’s upcoming Netflix series American Love Story, and yes — we even talked about how many “good summers” she thinks she has left. Nothing was off-limits.

You might know him as the Palm Beach Dad, or maybe you’ve seen him beefing with a $150 chicken tender tower at The Surf Lodge. Today, we're diving into the lore of Walker Ward — aka @WalkSauce42_.

We get into the origin story: from getting let go from his job (honestly, blessing in disguise) to somehow turning that L into a full-blown internet career. You'll hear how the man with zero plan ended up road-tripping across the country reviewing...hot dogs (yes, seriously) — and unintentionally became the internet’s favorite quarter-zip-wearing coastal elite.

And of course, we answered your spicy follower questions. Crack open your Avenue8 Cocktails, and dive in.

Ciao besties! Eric and Jeremy take the podcast to Positano on the final day of their Italian vacation, reflecting on a trip full of beautiful views, questionable spending, and deeply personal restaurant grudges.

It all started in Rome, where Eric immediately reignited his personal vendetta against a certain Roman restaurant — all because their New York location had rude staff. (Yes, he’s still mad. No, he’s not letting it go.) He spent most of Rome shopping and eating, which is exactly how he likes it.

Then came Positano, where beach club prices have officially entered delusion territory. Their solution? A fabulous escape to Conca del Sogno — check out Eric's IG highlights for some visuals on that day. It was effing wild.

We're covering Capri shopping, airport lounge strategies, and two very opinionated husbands: it’s the Italian wrap-up you didn’t know you needed.Arrivederci!!

Hi friends! This week we’ve got content creator and GenMe host ⁠Daniel Dana⁠ — a fellow corporate America escapee, Miami nightlife veteran, and someone young enough to make Eric question his skincare routine.

The two bond over their past lives in media: Daniel worked in real newsrooms, covering real stories, while Eric was busy at People Magazine reporting on celebrity baby names like it was breaking news. So yes, technically they were both in “news,” but only one of them ever had to fact-check a Kardashian quote.

They also get into what it was like growing up (Daniel in neon-lit, club-happy Miami; Eric in the Midwest, mostly surrounded by chain restaurants), what it means to leave the corporate grind behind, and why being in your 20s is secretly the messiest, most confusing decade no one warns you about.

Enjoy!!!

Hey hotties, this week travel expert and walking NYC encyclopedia Johnny Murtaugh joins Eric on the podcast to tackle one of life’s most humbling milestones: getting laid off. Fun fact — it’s actually a blessing in disguise, and Eric is just thrilled unemployment finally cleared Johnny’s calendar so he could grace the show.

They also take a chaotic stroll down memory lane to their days at Miami of Ohio — yes, they both went there, and yes, they were both in the closet. Eric shares the most absurd story about how he accidentally joined two fraternities because he has a hard time saying no.

Other crucial topics include why straight men need gay friends if they ever want a shot with women. It’s part comedy, part therapy, part “please don’t quote us on this.” You’re welcome in advance.

This week on Take Me Off Speaker, Eric is joined by the one and only Savannah Sellers—NBC News anchor, certified Swiftie, and his longtime partner-in-crime since their days running around 30 Rock in matching blazers, pretending they had any real authority (they didn’t).

They reminisce about the chaos of the Page Program, the moments that launched their careers (and mild trauma), and then deep-dive into their shared obsession: Taylor Swift. Savannah breaks down how Taylor is the ultimate mastermind—literally playing 4D chess with her career while the rest of us are out here forgetting our own birthdays. If you thought the album rollouts were random, think again. Taylor is thinking years ahead, and Savannah has the theories to prove it.

And yes—Eric tells the very real story of how he ended up crashing Savannah’s honeymoon. No, she did not invite him. It’s nostalgic, hilarious, slightly unhinged, and full of the kind of chaos only Eric and Savannah can bring.

Tune in now—and maybe think twice before telling Eric where you're vacationing.

Hey beauties! The past week didn’t feel real. We went from a whirlwind trip in the South of France straight into the madness of the Mayhem Ball — which, surprisingly, turned out to be the most effective jet lag cure out there.

Eric talks about working with Lady Gaga at SNL and how her music has somehow narrated every major (and minor) life event. It’s travel recaps, pop culture reflections, and a few too-honest stories you probably won’t hear anywhere else.

In this episode, Eric turns the mic over to his TikTok followers and asks Jeremy the most pressing (and occasionally absurd) questions they could come up with. From Jeremy’s deep love of history to Eric’s very casual willingness to cut off a pinky in exchange for future financial security, it’s safe to say we cover all the essentials.

We also unpack the time Jeremy accidentally won a trip to Bali at a charity auction in New York… because he was a little too generous — and a little too drunk. A tale as old as time.

Expect laughs, historical facts no one asked for, and financial panic dressed up as casual conversation. Just another day on the pod.

Anddddd...we're so excited to have Avenue8 as one of our partners for this episode!

Welcome to the show! It's time to take me off speaker so we can have a real chat. In this week's episode Eric graciously invites his husband Jeremy on to discuss how they met, and why funerals might be the ultimate place to debut your partner to the whole family. Because nothing screams “this is serious” like holding hands while someone's being lowered into the ground.
