Chapter 1: What drama involving Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively is discussed?
Well when I woke up this morning I said there's one thing I have to do. And it's to come on the internet and clear my name. You know, we, I, it's, you know, we make everything about ourselves. Of course, it's just kind of like our natural inclination, but it's, it's human. It's seemingly impossible not to make the Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively drama about us.
One, because I have like, I know there was a grassroots movement and also an astroturf movement, but I was a part of like the Blake Lively, team Blake Lively grassroots movement. And I, I definitely like feel like, we were huge advocates and voices in that during that time.
We were so much so that when I was reading everything that's since come to light, which we will get into late in a bit, we have to catch up with like ourselves, yourselves so much so that I was reading it. I was like, damn, were these publicists frustrated by the toast that we would not budge. We could not be turfed and we could not be manipulated. They must be sick of us.
A thousand percent. And there is a personal connection that I will get into later in the show.
Chapter 2: How did the hosts feel about their past takes on celebrity culture?
There's so many things to say, and we're going to get into it later in the show.
But the one thing I want to say, and we are going to get into it later, I promise, but the one thing I want to say, because if you take away one thing from this episode, it's like, Jackie and I actually, like, all the time, get so much shit for, like, having no, quote, worse takes. Like, we're always, like, I guess, delivering hot takes, just giving our opinions.
People are like, classic Jackson Claude, always being on the wrong side of history.
No, we're classic Jackson Claude going against the grain.
Chapter 3: What insights do the hosts provide on Blake Lively's public image?
No, no, classic Jackson Claude thinking independently and not being able to be brainwashed by literal... campaigns paid for by agencies. So the fact that like, we're always getting shit for like, you know, whatever everyone's team X, like we are team Y. And I feel so justified right now in this moment, obviously because we were right about this, but also like, I think it's a greater.
Think about all the other things we're probably right about then.
And think about all the other campaigns that like we don't know about. Right, that are campaigns. Right, like, who were we all, you know, sort of encouraged to dislike? And Jackie and I never did. I mean, we ended up being right about Ballerina Farms. All these things that happened over the summer. It was kind of like the summer of truth. Like, you and I were right about Ballerini.
We were right about Blake Lively. Like, it just feels good. Now, I will not the whole episode go wax on about how we were right, but like,
to i wasn't even like waiting for this i was like you know we said our piece it's they said we said and blake's reputation was definitely tarnished in the public eye now for me if anything it made me like like her i didn't have an opinion about her before but i was like damn this girl's really going through it she's a mom of four she just had a baby she's like working so hard and now i have like even more respect for her because she like had to deal with all this shit yeah i never even particularly like stand like i yeah and also sometimes like cancellation maketh man
It's so true. We're about to see a whole new version of Blake Lively when she comes out of this.
It really hones you as a human being. It does. For better or for worse. For better or for worse. Because when someone's so beloved all the time, that's nice for them. It's not super interesting.
Agreed. But that's nice. But now you have a chip on your shoulder. Welcome to the club.
Yeah. And now you got something to say. I want to hear. I'm listening.

Chapter 4: What experiences did the hosts have during their holiday breaks?
So we will get into it at some point in the show. But Jax and I are just excited to be back on the ones and the twos. We've been off podcasting now for like... A week and a half. We have a lot to catch up on.
So how was Turdy's staycation?
It was, yeah. So I'm down in Florida with Jackie. We're spending the holidays together. But before I got down here, Ben and I spent a week together in Miami. It was so nice. Just like very relaxing. Pool, beach. I got a sunglass tan. You know, all the things. Not much to report because it was just like genuinely relaxing.
Yeah. That's really nice.
And you spent that week like kind of having the opposite sort of effect. Right. Doing the most.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts describe their content creation process?
I did not have a relaxing week, but I had an extremely productive and fulfilling week because I spent the week getting ready for Turdy's arrival. And as you saw, if you didn't watch the Patreon yet, like go watch it, even though it seems like a lot of you have watched it and you're really loving it.
And I'm so glad because I put my heart and soul not only into the project, which I think everyone could feel, but I put my heart and soul into that vlog. And now we're in 15 minutes and you also like get nervous. Like that's a lot.
Oh, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Michael Vick. Hold on.
Get Michael in here. Brody, come to your mother. We've separated them.
Separation of church and state.
I also put my heart and soul into the vlog. An hour and 15 is a lot of jacks. And I was really worried how it would be received. And I'm so glad that people are really loving the entirety of it. So thank you guys so much.
It was such a pleasure to be the recipient of your gift. I love my room so much. It's kind of been a beacon of peace and restoration for me during these trying times with like Lively and Justin Baldoni. It was seriously like so above and beyond. The vlog was amazing, obviously, but like the gift that I received. Let's get real.
I watched parts of the vlog it was really long I did I skipped through it obviously Claudia like we don't watch each other's work we live it we live it sometimes like if a patron's going up that only one of us had a hand in like the one that Jackie did um I will say like I need you to watch this before I post it I want to make sure I didn't say anything bad or like it's not a piece of shite yeah like requires approval but Jackie knew she had a king piece of content she didn't need my approval and then when the time came yes I did skip to the end to see my reaction um
I did like skirt through a lot of the talking parts. Like I just wanted to see more, like I'm very HGTV like that.

Chapter 6: What is the significance of comfort creators in today's social media?
So much more than that. It's really like a story being told. Yeah.
You're a storyteller.
I am a storyteller. When will you guys get that? Like I live for content.
We get it. We get it.
I live for content creation. Someone said my vlog was giving Molly Mae and let me just tell you like I dined off that for days.
It's giving comfort creator. That's what they call Molly Mae. Like YouTubers who like document their life very uneventfully. Like they're not doing crazy stunts. They're just like makeup and chill and girlfriends and cooking. And people just sort of watch it in the background. They become their comfort creators.
And I know a lot of people are looking for new comfort creators ever since Emma Chamberlain like took an oath of whatever from YouTube. So maybe it's you.
Oh my, a comfort creator. I love that. Yeah. I'm not like, you know, pussy popping on the dance floor.
No, she's not jumping out of planes like doing pranks on her grandma.
