I think she's not over it.  and I think she struggles with trying to still be friends with him which I think just keeps her stuck.  I think she loves brett and I  think he loved her in his.  sounds like the E family had so much influence or tried to put her in a prescribed role and T wasn't having it. and there was Brett in the middle. Tay likes to b celebrated (her words not mine) and the most they grew to do I guess was just tolerate her.  I think u do marry a family and I don't think the E family was the easiest to marry into but if you love your man, then u just "tolerate" them as graciously as u can unless they are down right toxic.  but I wouldn't want a man who couldn't manage the waring sides any better but who knows, maybe he tried but then finally gave up.  she's gone thru a lot of the firsts (holidays, her birthday, etc.)  maybe this is another milestone time we don't know about. I'd like to see her move on.  forget that friend stuff.  too soon, emotionally.

Behind a couple of days on the show. I never want to hear Taylor tasting/ slurping/swishing wine into the microphone. Also, lets bust out the thesaurus. Everything is "phenomenal" and "fascinating."

this is my last comment during my reeeeeeeeal late lunch break.  I think when Tay does find someone it'll be someone who will be opposite of her.  she's a little firecracker and she needs someone who can take charge and run things but be milder in spirit. I think she kind of had that in B but it was the fam it sounds like who took charge.  Tay will have to make some concessions too I suspect.  she may not say it  publicly and she doesn't have to.  bye yall.

I think that "e" family went from lower/middle class to butt-fuck rich in a very short period of time. In that time, they became assholes.

My Grandmother has always said "Nothing smells quiet as bad as new money" lol
 

I think the E sisters are uppity and they look down upon Taylor, but also Taylor is *not* an easy personality. I think her very brash personality combined with her social climbing tendencies, raging insecurities, and uninformed opinions did not sit well with the E's. They just seemed like oil and water. I don't think they liked her from jump street.

I think that was one of the problem's, is Taylor being uppity, but unjustifiably so in the E sister's eyes, ya know what I mean? Like an imposter.

So the E family is fourth generation rich, starting with their their great-grandparents. Not old money by any means, but not spankin' new. Article (plus pics of young Brett!): http://jewishstandard.timesofisrael.com/remembering-edward-epstein/

Interesting article.  It does shed some light on the other side of the story.  This family is used to being informed and involved in what's going on around them.  Tay is not that cultured or concerned with educating herself about current events.  She certainly isn't charitable. 

I thought that article was pretty enlightening as well. While I know I am completely and wildly guessing here, my 100% uneducated opinion (enough of a disclaimer??) is that T really did struggle with not being the center of attention...whether it was in Brett's world, or his family's world, or even in an imaginary one (that most of us have where our lives are supposed to be perfect). I don't think she (I'm not sure about B) ever saw marriage as 'blending' of two people...and it's pretty obvious that their families are polar opposites for the most part. From the beginning (I've listened since before B) T always went to her family's house for holidays, and went B to his---I seem to recall they couldn't agree where to go. Or if they weren't being whisked away to a fabulous locale with strings attached. T. told so many stories of her going to Cohasset alone...of B spending holidays (many were Jewish holidays) with his family. I know Taylor says she was treated like sh*t by his sisters, but I also think that part of it was she never allowed herself to feel as good as them. She had a national radio show (although that doesn't mean much cause she's still lazy as hell about cultivating what great things she could do with it...but I digress)....and yet she still let the fact that she thought they were skinnier or more successful get under her skin.
I know that there was so much more going on that we will never know...but that article told me a whole lot more about the E family. It made me even more curious to know more about them. Like it matters and like I have time to spend on people who have no impact on my real life!!! Lol!!!

Should kids go to college these days.  OMFG this has replaced the masturbation conversation.  She has it about once a week.  And its the EXACT SAME talking points EVERY FREAKING GODDAMN time!!!!

The "happiness guru" is so fucking annoying.  Do NOT want to hear her

I don't see where Taylor could be considered "uppity" - quite the opposite. No one who is uppity would talk about her hemmiroids, blow jobs, nose hair....the list is endless. Unless you mean uppity around E family? Like her family is better? That sort of makes sense.

 
When she was married to Brett she was very uppity and snobby on radio. She still is but not as extreme. It's like she tried really hard to be like the E sisters.....if she projected it enough she could "be accepted" by them.
Honestly I think that's why she's most upset....they never accepted her....

I think you're right.  She had an unrealistic expectation that his family would love her like a family member.  That's great if it happens but probably not the norm.  You have to be prepared to give and take and hope to foster a decent relationship.  Sometimes that means not being too close to everyone.  She can't get past it.   

I would love to never hear Tay say incredible the way she does when there's a fat kid Friday. InCRREDDDDDDDible (extra emphasis on the D)

I would really love for Kenny to start pronouncing names correctly. Kasich is pronounced Kay-sick NOT Kass-itch. I love him, but it drives me nuts that he's so bad at pronouncing proper names. 

The first time he said it I thought he was joking - then he did it again today. 

Kenny doesn't come off as very educated in general-all he does is butcher the language.

And how flying used to be a luxury. Girl please, flying has never been luxurious in your lifetime. I take that back, except when your rich ex-husband used to fly you in first class #podlife 

Ps Do we still not have an eye roll emoji???
