The Squeeze

In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with celebrity hairstylist and author Chris Appleton! Chris shares what inspired him to write his book Your Roots Don’t Define You and why now felt like the right time to reflect on his past, including the challenges that shaped him long before success. He opens up about how he first found his way into hair, the moment that changed everything when he did Christina Aguilera’s hair on The Voice, and what he would tell anyone who’s afraid to chase their dreams when the odds feel stacked against them. Chris also gets deeply personal about the role fear played in his life, from the fear of disappointing the people he loved most while coming out to his ex-partner and children, to the shame he carried for years and what ultimately helped him heal. He shares what led him to a breaking point and a suicide attempt, how he found his way back, and what self-care looks like for him now.

In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with producer, manager, and entrepreneur Tish Cyrus! Tish opens up about what it was like raising her kids while her daughter Miley Cyrus’ career took off so quickly, sharing how she fought to protect their childhood while also helping them chase their individual dreams. She talks about how she made each of her children feel important in the midst of so much public attention, and what people often get wrong about her and her family — especially with constant media narratives. Tish reflects on losing her mom and ending her marriage at the same time, what that season of grief looked like, and how she prioritized her mental health to make it through. She discusses her relationship with marijuana and how it’s supported her healing, the mental health tools she loves, and what “healthy love” means to her now compared to earlier in her life. Tish closes with heartfelt advice for anyone who is single and looking for love, and shares the accomplishment she’s most proud of today!

Welcome to the first episode of season 4!! This week, Tay and Taylor are joined by musician and social media sensation Mr. Fantasy for his first-ever podcast! He starts off by revealing that he is, in fact, Team Jacob, sharing his feelings on the term “overnight success,” and opening up about what it’s been like to completely blow up over the past year. He talks about whether he’s dating, why he never felt afraid of the sudden attention, and how surreal it’s been to watch people genuinely resonate with his music. Mr. Fantasy also shares his perception on self-doubt and fear, explaining why he believes we’re all remarkable in our own unique ways and how embracing that truth is the key to everything. He opens up about his love for James Franco (including the moment he met him), the habits that keep him grounded and humble, and what mental health looks like for him today, from listening to music to doing things for other people. To close, he shares what he hopes to leave with the world.

In this week’s episode, the Lautners kick off a very special Christmas special and the final episode of 2025 as they officially wrap Season 3 of The Squeeze! The episode starts with a cozy catch-up between Tay and Taylor as they reflect on the year, share the word or phrase guiding them into 2026, and tease what listeners can expect in Season 4. Then, they bring in three familiar faces from past episodes — Kevin Jonas, Kendall Toole, and Brylee Armstrong — for a festive round of Christmas questions. They cover everything from favorite holiday traditions and hot cocoa vs. cider to must-have Christmas foods, favorite songs, real vs. fake trees, Elf vs. Grinch energy, and when it’s socially acceptable to put up Christmas décor. Thank you for squeezing with us all year long — we’ll see you in Season 4!
