Transcript

[Claudia]

Good morning, girlies.

[Jackson Claude]

It's the Toast. It's Jackson Claude and we're your host. It's your favorite show. The Fast 5 things you need to know. We'll start your day off Swirly. It's the Toast.

[Claudia]

I sound amazing. Welcome back to the Toast. Happy Mondays. Welcome back to the Patreon. We've missed you a brand new week. Jackson Claude on the ones and twos.

[Jackie]

If you're watching again, we've moved yet again.

[Claudia]

We are gonna keep moving every week until we find the partiest location to podcast in our house just in time.

[Jackie]

For us to leave.

[Claudia]

I do feel like this is it today.

[Jackie]

Jackie's bedroom. We are setting up in a new corner. We're using new microphones. It's a journey that everyone's just honestly, you should be honored to bear witness to. Like, what's going on here is a work in progress. It's trial and error. Hopefully you love it. Hopefully you don't hate it.

[Claudia]

Constantly striving for perfection. I do hope that you guys are just like happy to see our such beautiful faces.

[Jackie]

And my God, do we have a lot to talk about. Of course. We broke the Internet two days ago with McLardia, which we are so going to get into. It's such a juicy story. Like you guys aren't ready.

[Claudia]

We're not ready. I'm not ready because I wasn't even there.

[Jackie]

Yeah. And you and I actually haven't really debriefed it in person because I got home from the carnival late like, and.

[Claudia]

Like Harry was sick and it was just like a drama filled evening. But I need to hear the story. I have so many follow up questions on behalf of myself and the viewers.

[Jackie]

You know, and I'm happy to answer any and all questions. We of course have pop culture to talk about. We asked the community on last week's episode what they wanted to see from us from the remainder of Patreon. And I thought it was going to be overwhelming. Like, vlogs. Like, enough, we want vlogs.

[Claudia]

You know what they said? They said, keep doing what you're doing. You're so perfect.

[Jackie]

They said, shut up and sing.

[Claudia]

They said, we love exactly what you're doing. We wouldn't change a hair on your head.

[Jackie]

Yeah, I checked today and it's like I can never like get a full read on what people want because I checked today just like see what people had said. And everyone was saying vlogs. Like in the beginning everybody was saying pop culture.

[Claudia]

No, Claudia, they said you're perfect.

[Jackie]

They said, you're gorgeous and skinny. Don't move.

[Claudia]

But I do think at the end of the day, if we're just talking shop, you and I, about what's best for the business, I do feel like whatever we are passionate about will always wind up being the best content.

[Jackie]

It's true. And if we feel like there's a week where, you know, be doing pop culture doesn't serve us and it's not a good pop culture week. Thankfully, Taylor Swift helped us out this morning. There was like a decent amount of news to talk about.

[Claudia]

We have still 1000. I like catching up on the news of the week. I'm happy with this format and I'm optimistic that our new open window policy will make for a party experience.

[Jackie]

And I'm sorry, there was just no way that, like this week in particular, with the Brandon Blackstock of it all, Taylor Swift potentially being on new Heights and then McLardia, there was no way we weren't doing a podcast today. So maybe if you're looking for a sceney vlog, check back next week.

[Claudia]

Yeah. And there will be sceny vlogs. I'm also hoping for an aside. While all sisters are here, I know everybody's hoping for an aside. And honestly, they Four of these microphones. We have four of these microphones. If we can figure out how to connect them, we can have an asod.

[Jackie]

We've been sitting on this couch, by the way.

[Claudia]

ASOD is all steens on deck.

[Jackie]

We've been sitting on this couch for an hour having, like, figuring out, trying to figure out how to put these bluetooth microphones. The last time we used these bluetooth microphones, we did what's in my hospital bag. And they weren't connected the entire time.

[Claudia]

Correct. But the last time I used one was for my stroller hauler, and it connected the whole time, and it was so wonderful.

[Jackie]

We're also recording backup audio. And I do agree that, like, this might be the best setup yet. However, just like, based on what I'm seeing in the camera, it's giving that scene an elf when he sits on real on elf furniture.

[Claudia]

Every show we've ever filmed in our lives gives that scene in elf. Because we are elves.

[Jackie]

Correct.

[Claudia]

We are Santa's little helpers. Very little, tiny, teeny tiny.

[Jackie]

He can't even see us sometimes when we turn to the side. So skinny. Okay, let's dive into the McLarty of it all. Okay. Like, I just, I feel like that's really what people are tuning in for.

[Claudia]

Yeah. And I didn't even get to catch up with you because basically, from my pov, you went to the fair that night. We had gone to the fair.

[Jackie]

There's a carnival in town. It, like, benefits the local fire department, and it's like a major carnival. Can we talk about carnivals for a second?

[Claudia]

Yeah, sure.

[Jackson Claude]

What?

[Jackie]

A croc. Oh, my God.

[Claudia]

Oh.

[Jackie]

First of all, we get there, and there's a ticket booth, and, like, you need tickets to go on the rides. So Ben was like, should I get bracelets for everyone? Bracelet gets you entry. Unlimited rides, $45 a person. And I'm like, I don't know. I don't feel like we're going that many rides. It was me, Ben, Ben's parents. I'm like, ben's parents are definitely not going on a ride. So I'm like, get a couple of tickets. So we got, like, a good amount of tickets, and then we start going around, and the things that we really wanted to do are, like, the carnival games, like, toss the ring on the bottom.

[Claudia]

$10 per person for one try.

[Jackie]

So it's not even. You can't use the tickets.

[Claudia]

Cash only.

[Jackie]

The tickets don't apply to the games. It's only. And by the way, $10. There was nothing under $20. It's like, oh, you want to shoot the water balloon? You get two tries for $20. Of course, you don't miss it. You miss it, so you want to do it again. I didn't even bring cash.

[Claudia]

I was like, they had an ATM. Don't worry.

[Jackie]

Oh, ATMs everywhere.

[Claudia]

And as much as it is a croc, like, it's for the fire department. So I'm happy to blow my money for the fire department, but these individual vendors, they're taking all this cash collected and giving it to the fire department. So that's know the fire department.

[Jackie]

That's where I was getting confused, because I think, like, which part of it benefited the fire department?

[Claudia]

Definitely the stand with the tickets.

[Jackie]

The tickets, totally.

[Claudia]

And mission.

[Jackie]

But I was just not getting the vibe, because I know how the carnivals work. Like, they travel together. Like Leanne Locken.

[Claudia]

They don't have an affiliation with the fire department.

[Jackie]

Okay. I'm so glad we were talking about this. I was confused as to, like, how the fire department was making money here.

[Claudia]

And what's to stop someone from pocketing half of the cash? Everything's cash. It's very informal. No, there's no ledger.

[Jackie]

Levi wanted, like, a giraffe. It was a stuffed animal giraffe. It was, like, large not. Not huge. I would say the size of a one year old. $80. $80 for a stuffed animal? You guys.

[Claudia]

For the fire department.

[Jackie]

It was so crazy. But let me just say. So I get to the carnival and I'm waiting by the front because Olivia and I took separate cars, which was like such a big mistake. There was no service. I couldn't find her. I was just standing there, waiting around.

[Claudia]

Hey, guys.

[Jackie]

Turdi here.
