Good morning girlies, it's the toast.

It's Jackson Claude and we're your host.

It's your favorite show, the fast-five things you need to know.

We'll start your day off, Swirlie. It's the toast. I sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toes and happy Tuesday. Even though it's Tuesday, it just kind of feels like I'm living in a dream. Like, it's a dream day? I don't know. Because, yes, it's just a regular old episode of The Toast, except for the fact that, like, Jackie is here, like, seriously, in a physical sense. In name only. And that's it. She texted me at like, you're actually going to crack up. She texted me at like 7.45 and was like, I have no voice I can podcast. Basically like, you know, find Ben, figure it out. Like I'm out. I was making like a Michaela de Garra TikTok. It took me like an hour so I didn't see. And then I'm like fully dressed at 845 about to leave the house. And Jackie's like I can't. So her voice is like pretty much gone except like it comes sporadically. Like right now. Oh my God. It's funny because I haven't spoken on all morning. I've been on vocal rest since five o'clock last night, not saying

one word because this is my trade. Of course, it's no, we take vocal health extremely seriously

here at the toast. And I haven't been able to get out one word. Then when you call me to say,

oh my gosh, I just saw your text and Ben's not here, my voice came in. And then right after the call,

my voice left. And Claudia, sitting here right now, I've not had this much voice in the last 12 hours. It's a miracle. It knows. It knows. It knows to get, well, the thing is, don't let your voice come back too quickly because the premise of today's episode was like, I'm just going to be like talking to a wall. I just needed you here physically. To nod and smile. Look pretty. Sit and look pretty.

Just what you usually. Because the premise of today's episode was like, I'm just going to be like talking to a wall. I just needed you here physically.

To nod and smile. Look pretty. Sit and look pretty. Just what you usually do. I like, I can't solo episode. But like if you're in the room and you're just like nodding, like that's a solo episode, you know? Yeah. This is why it's your dream episode, even though my voice is getting stronger and stronger as we sit here.

No, it's not.

It's really not.

I can't argue with you. I choose the stories. I can only agree with you.

You choose the stories and I have to keep my thoughts to a minimum. And the thing is like if you're a good person in this life, the universe will pay you back.

Like, that's exactly what's happening.

And it's like, you've never wanted to be a solo podcaster.

I don't know, you're kind of talking a lot.

Like, I thought it was like my episode.

You've never wanted to be a solar podcaster because that's like a hard path to walk, you know?

But having a podcast with a sister who lost her voice is your dream come true. It's a dream come true. And you know what? Actually, I was thinking on the way to the Toast today. Like if we ever go through a rebrand, which I don't think we will, I think the name, the Toast, like it's literally the best name. I have no issues with it. But like, let's say something happens. Like, you know, like ISIS was a beautiful name until the organization. Like, what if they started a terrorist organization named Toast. It was the name of the dog in down to Nappy. Exactly. So you never know when like a word can change meaning. It happens. If we ever need, I think we should remand to the crack. Because like we're always cracking. And we look forward to cracking.

And I know like this isn't colloquially used, but I could see somebody being like, hey, give me like the gossip. Give me the crack. You know? Just an idea. You never know what's going to happen. I just wanted to put it out there. Keep it in your back pocket, but someone could steal it. Well, I have proof now that I came up with the first. Trade market it. So today is what, Tuesday? Oh, DTQ, we will have to push deer toasters because I can't do deer toasters. Jackie's sort of like, you know, who's going to be the toxic boy mom if she can't talk? So we will save it for later in the week when she's feeling a little bit better. But today, like, we do have a job to do. I would like, there are actually a lot of stories.

I chose them.
