It's Jackson, Claude, and we're your hosts. It's your favorite show, the fast five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast.
They sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Tuesday, also known as Tuesday. Speaking of the girl I choose today and every day, it's Jacqueline Follet.
Hello today. How you doing? I'm doing good. Happy Tuesday. I feel like yesterday was a long one. You know, yesterday was in a lofty. The day itself was in the lofty, so I was hoping today we'd be further through the week, but we're not. But we will toil away until we are.
Jackie, don't spend your life waiting, you know?
It's true. No, we're like wishing away.
I don't want to spend my life waiting. Like, yeah, this is life.
No, not spend my life waiting.
To wake up one day and find... Have you been seeing Carrie Underwood on... American Idol the reviews are in and they are rave no I haven't been seeing her on American Idol Oh, as you know, I'm diving more into the hobbies and interests of Generation X. And American Idol definitely is included in that. And I've just been seeing it on TikTok. But there are so many viral auditions and people love, there's like a sound going viral where this girl, she's like about to sing. And she's like, what do you do? And she's like, oh, I'm just a stay-at-home mom. And Carrie was like, you are not just a stay-at-home mom. It's very powerful.
Very empowering. Yeah.
Yes. Yes. So lots going on with the Gen X community. Also, the Gen X community.
And what's her vibe as a judge? Like, is she harsh? Is she sweet? I feel like she'd be a Paula.
So it's not the American Idol. It's not your daddy's American Idol. You know, like back in the day, there was like a ruthless one. Yeah. They're all and they would bring people on who are like they knew were terrible singers. Yeah. and to embarrass them yeah now in the age of like bullying and wokeism the fun is over like we could never have william hung no like we did so they bring in people everyone who can sing but they say no to people who are like not ready who need to work on like their breath work or whatever there's nobody who's like embarrassingly bad or anything so it's not as fun so there's nobody who's like evil got it okay they're all like middle of the road it's a softer american idol
And me and my fellow generation Xers. You're not about that. Yeah, we miss the days of brutality, cruelty, bullying. Yeah, that's just me and my gang. We live to rock. We rock to live. A brief update from my generation. They wanted me to speak on behalf of us, like letting you know specifically.
You are seriously the Hilaria Baldwin of ages.
No, I'm the Hilaria Baldwin of everything because I also pretend I'm Latin, just like Hilaria. I also pretend I'm a different.
You are.
Correct. I'm trans Latin. I'm transgenerational X. You're transgenerational. It's really crazy. Yeah, like I am.
What else do they want to tell me?
I see a community and I want to be a part of it. I think it actually speaks to my yearning to be a part of something.
And the inclusivity.
So what Generation X wanted me to tell you yesterday is you were wrong. They do not stan Tom Cruise. Like, that's not their boy. Like, they know he's a freak. We know he's weird. That's not what I saw. Oh, that's overwhelmingly what I saw. Like, they wanted you to know, like, maybe at one point in time he was on his way to being what you think he is, but he's not for my generation. I don't know, but maybe yours is.
I don't think you're in touch with your community. And I think you need to get back.
You could not be more wrong, actually. You could not be more wrong.
Get back to work.
Guys, tell her. Tell her.
Why would he be the one doing the Olympics if he wasn't the symbol of American stardom?
Oh, oh, I have such a simple answer for this. Tom Cruise is at the helm of like an extremely powerful cult within Hollywood.
I just want to say like I haven't watched all the Scientology documentaries. So like forgive me if I'm off, but like they're a bunch of freaks. Like nobody is like, I don't know. I just feel like they're on the outside.
