The only problem is I only listen on demand, and I guess I would genuinely want to ask about my sister. I guess that's why part of me wants to believe.

I do think there are some mediums that are real. But not the ones that are out to get famous from it. I think it would be so awesome to connect with a loved one - like your sister. It would be so be worth it to seek out another medium to do so! 

OMG, the Thomas John thing; I just don't know what to think about him! I've racked my brain trying to figure out how he could possibly fake these phone calls. Has any listener on here ever called and gotten to talk to him? The phone calls could be set up; I do remember one time that he did actually request Taylor take a certain call because he "had someone coming through for that person" which made me suspicious. But Taylor always seems so moved by the readings that if the calls were fake I have a hard time believing she knows about it. But you all are right- no one says "Hey girl hey", I've noticed that many times. And the whole thing with Katie's grandma I didn't buy at all- he gave her legal name, not her nickname. And I knew about Taylor's mom's friend Kim from her talking about it before he was on the show, so that info was out there. I'd love to call in when he is on, but I listen on demand. I'd like to ask him a question about my mom, who passed four years ago. And the info would not be Google-able, I have a very specific question for her that know one would know but me. If he could tell me that, I'd know he was legit. But somehow I doubt he could do it, and I never know when he is going to be on to listen live to call in so I probably will never get the chance. I looked him up online- he has been caught up in previous scams, which is not a good sign for a "psychic". But I'm still dying to know: real or not real. 

i think not doing the "hey girl hey" thing is just to save time, the screener probably tells the callers to just jump right into their question. also the callers could fake their name or not give it...

I turned it off pretty quickly today because I don't waste no time on that ish. 

This is the article on the medium

This is the challenge, and it actually ran for over 50 years....

The day Thomas John was on Taylor was saying something at the start of the show about not calling in right away. She then said those who are listening aren't the ones who are calling so her words were falling on deaf ears.

I wonder if Thomas John just has such a strong following that she knew it wasn't her regular listeners who were calling in to speak with him.

Oh my god, the mouth sounds during foodie finds 

T starts getting more obnoxious when she has something going on in her life. Here's my theory:
She's realizing that if she stays with TD she will not have enough money to live like she wants to.
TD definitely wants to have kids, I don't think T does.
So she's at this crossroads if she should stay or leave.

I think she'll revert back to dating men and finding herself a sugar daddy. 

Sex is a big part of that though, isn't it?

Knowing Taylor's personality, TD alleviates her responsibility for her failing marriage. Basically it's not her fault and nothing else could have been done to save her marriage because she is gay. Anyone else think they won't get married and Taylor goes back to dating guys?

The Epstein's rejecting her is still an unresolved issue for Taylor. She was so desperate for them to accept her like her own parents (and how her parents accepted Brett) that she can't possibly be the reason why they never approved. So she slams them constantly so she does not have to face the reality of her own shortcomings. That awful MIL that asked her to pick her up from a lunch and to use her name for a room upgrade on vacation. That awful SIL that dated her sisters ex. It's allll for her to to remain in denial. Rejection sucks. He chose his family over her. But her obsession with them is unhealthy.

I noticed that the day after Clay was on last week Tay said she found him to be exhausting and a lot on Tuesday. What?!?! Please keep it up Clay and be a part of show as much as possible! #TeamClay 

 
OMFG- She must have said it on Wednesday...I refuse to listen to Lori Bergamatto. She just completely rubs me the wrong way with all of her ass-kissing and after she got the "What a Man Wednesday's" taken down single-handedly, what little respect I had left of her as a professional went out the window (For god's sake, isn't she an editor of Good Housekeeping?).

So Tay thinks Clay is exhausting...and she thinks Rob is exhausting and a lot. I think she just has a hard time with A. People who actually know more than she does when they co-host, which has become obvious isn't hard to do. I actually thought she might have spent a little bit of time at least working on the 7 Things (although she's said in the past that Taylor 2 likes doing them so she 'let's her'), but from the comments she's made lately, she's really just reading headlines online and then sending in the links. And when she does the first few rounds of 7 Things, it's extremely obvious she's never even read the damn stories as half the time she doesn't know what the hell its really about! I think Clay actually embarrassed her this week on a few of them because they really weren't stories... i.e. Oprah having a show on Broadway; Nicole Kidman's kiss... I also think he can frustrate her because she wants to sensationalize something and because Clay really has the "celebrity" perspective, he can kind of burst that bubble sometimes. What I love about him, though, is that he's humble about it.

I hope Taylor will realize that he is a gift to the show, as is Rob Shuter, for this very reason...they are giving her, and therefore us, back door access to the inside story. Clay, and Rob, both have friends and colleagues who share info or invite them to events, and they end up coming to the show and talking to us about it all!  And since Taylor cannot seem to remember anything about anyone (I think she's just lazy...if it were important to her, she'd work harder at it), I've come to rely on these guys to give us the REAL Scoop, Scandy and Dirty Gossip!

I don't think it would ever work having Clay and Rob on at the same time. Rob is a gossip and that's his whole entire talent, if you can call it that. Clay despises gossips and will go out of his way to be fair to subjects of gossip because he's been the target and knows what it's like. Rob has been horrible to Clay on his gossip shows in the past and I don't think Clay would spit on him if he were on fire. 

I so remember how horrible Rob was to Clay and others in the past (kind of like Perez). It’s the reason I never listen to Thursday’s shows.

I am dying to figure out how to turn "Obsessively Talking about Your In-Laws" into a topic that I can submit to the Surprise Me topic of the day. I've been pondering this for a few weeks now...any ideas ladies (and gents, if we have them)? I only have the best intentions here, honestly...I'd like to point out she's hurting herself more than them by carrying on this massive vendetta. She not only looks like the bad guy the longer she harps on this constantly, but she's also the one internalizing all of the emotional stress. Although we will never know their side or what they are doing now, at this point they could be laughing their asses off at her because she can't let it go while they have completely moved on and are living their fabulously rich lives without that little thorn in their side. She's only hurting herself at this point (and annoying the people who have to constantly listen to it!).

I'm open for suggestions!

Yes!!  And maybe several of us submit it so there's a better chance it gets picked!
