In a Jiffy with Jissy: Monday, August 11th, 2025

0:20I sound amazing. welcome back to the toast happy mundaries welcome back to the patreon we've missed you a brand new week jackson claude on the ones and twos if you're watching again we've moved yet again we are going to keep moving every week until we find the partiest location to podcast in our house just in time for us to leave i do feel like this is it today 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.

0:55Hopefully you love it. Hopefully you don't hate it. Constantly striving for perfection. I do hope that you guys are just like happy to see our such beautiful faces. And my God, do we have a lot to talk about. We do. 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. We're not ready. I'm not ready because I wasn't even there. Yeah, and you and I actually haven't really debriefed it in person because I got home from the carnival late. And 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 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 you know what they said they said keep doing what you're doing you're so perfect they said shut up and sing they said we love exactly what you're doing we wouldn't change a hair on your head 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 to see what people had said and everyone was saying vlogs.

1:50But in the beginning, everybody was saying pop culture. No, Claudia, they said you're perfect. They said you're gorgeous and skinny. Don't move. But I do think at the end of the day, if we're just talking to 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. 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. We have still 1 ,000.

2:14I 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 pargy experience. 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 C &E vlog, check back next week. Yeah, and there will be C &E vlogs. I'm also hoping for an ASAD while all sisters are here. I know everybody's hoping for an ASAD and honestly, they deserve one.

2:44We have four of these microphones. We have four of these microphones. If we can figure out how to connect them, we can have an ASAD. We've been sitting on this couch for an hour. By the way, ASAD is all Steens on deck. We've been sitting on this couch for an hour, 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. Correct, but the last time I used one was for my stroller haul and it connected the whole time and it was so wonderful. 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 uh every show we've ever filmed in our lives gives that scene an elf because we are elves correct we are santa's little helpers very little tiny teeny he can't even see us sometimes when we turn to the side so skinny um okay let's dive into the mcclarty of it all okay like i just i feel like that's really what people are tuning in for yeah and i didn't even get to catch up with you because basically for my pov you went to the fair that night we had gone to the fair and 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 yeah sure what a crock oh my god oh 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 gonna go on that many rides it was me ben ben's parents i'm like Like, Ben's parents are definitely not going on a ride.

4:06Right. So, 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. Yeah. Like, toss the ring on a bottle. $10 per person for one try. So, it's not even, you can't use the tickets. Cash only. The tickets don't apply to the games. Yeah. It's cash 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. Oh. And, of course, you don't miss it. You miss it, so you want to do it again. And I didn't even bring cash.

4:29I was like. They had an ATM. Don't worry. Oh, ATMs everywhere. And as much as it is a crock, 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. Do you know the fire department? That's where I was getting confused because I think like which part of it benefited the fire department? Definitely the stand with the tickets. The tickets, totally. And mission. But I was just not getting the vibe because I know how the carnivals work. In fact, they travel together, like Leanne Lockett.

4:59They don't have an affiliation with the fire department. Okay, I'm so glad we were talking about this. I was confused as to how the fire department was making money here. And what's to stop someone from pocketing half of the cash? Everything's cash. It's very informal. No. There's no ledger. Levi wanted a giraffe. It was a stuffed animal giraffe. It was large, not huge. I would say the size of a one-year-old. $80. $80 for a stuffed animal, you guys. For the fire department. 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.

5:33There was no service. I couldn't find her. I was just standing there waiting around. Hey, guys. Turdy here. I hope you're enjoying this episode. I know. I enjoyed recording it.
