I sound amazing. Welcome back to the toast and happy Thursday.
Claudia Oshry 0:33
Hey Jax, how you doing?
Jackie Oshry 0:34
The tizzity toast.
Claudia Oshry 0:37
Oh, we're both in that kind of freaky ass moods this morning. The tizzity toast.
Jackie Oshry 0:42
Tizzity, tizzity. Welcome to the Tirst. Gonna be a great show. You just definitely made me chip beer by letting me know that it's Thursday.

How do Jackie and Claudia feel about spring and outdoor living in New York City?

Claudia Oshry 0:53
I know that's like kind of what you guys saw in real time. Me downloading the fact that it's the latter half of the week.
Jackie Oshry 0:59
And that it's May. May is a gorgeous month. April showers bring May flowers. I feel like no one gets upset that it's May. Except Justin Timberlake. No, well, he gets excited because like everybody will like post him without shame today. Whereas there's usually a lot of shame unless you're Travis Kelsey.
Claudia Oshry 1:20
It's the kind of positive press Justin Timberlake needs.
Jackie Oshry 1:25
Yeah, he'll always have May 1st.
Claudia Oshry 1:28
It's gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, is gonna be May.
Jackie Oshry 1:34
And I just feel like that really snuck up on us.
Claudia Oshry 1:37
Love that so much. It's May. It really is a beautiful month. It's been so gorgeous. In the city recently, I've been like spending so much time on my balcony. I literally forgot I had one because I didn't use it all winter. Yeah. Ben went to Home Depot, bought a tulip. Don't you have two? I do. Like the other one gets no sun. It has no furniture on it. And we never sit out there.
Jackie Oshry 2:01
Which one's that? The one like in the nook?
Claudia Oshry 2:04
Yeah. Yeah.
Jackie Oshry 2:05
We never like that one.
Claudia Oshry 2:06
No, I've actually been thinking of getting a shed or something so I can start using it for storage. It's just all this empty square footage in my New York City apartment.
Jackie Oshry 2:14
That's insane.
Claudia Oshry 2:15
But I don't know what I could keep out there that would be weatherproof.
Jackie Oshry 2:18
Buying sheds online is a weird experience.
Claudia Oshry 2:23
I didn't say online. I would not buy it online. I remember. I'm not buying a shed. I would go to like, you know, a store.
Jackie Oshry 2:30
I ventured into shed buying territory online just because I was like, I would love a shed for all the like outdoor toys that we have. Like put them in. And then it gets weird.
Claudia Oshry 2:40
Agreed. You never know what's going to come in your shed.
Jackie Oshry 2:42
So the outdoor toys are just on the lawn.
Claudia Oshry 2:45
That's okay. I think it's better for everyone. But yes, I do slay, kind of, you know, have two balconies. But the one that gets the sun and the one that has better views and the one that I have furniture on, I've been spending so much time on fresh air. It's just so underrated. Yeah.
Jackie Oshry 3:00
It's really partial-ish.

What are Jackie and Claudia's thoughts on sleeping outside and camping experiences?

Claudia Oshry 3:02
And I love air-conditioned air. Like, that is definitely one of my favorite airs.
Jackie Oshry 3:05
And you're not knocking that, but you can, like, say a positive thing about fresh air without it taking away from your love of air conditioning.
Claudia Oshry 3:12
I also love ceiling fan air. I love all different types. Oh, really? Gives me dry eye. Oh, yes. Well, there is like a push and a pull when you sleep under a ceiling fan or any fan.
Jackie Oshry 3:26
I don't mind sleeping under a ceiling fan. My eyes are closed. But if my eyes are open, I see you for what you really are, which is ugly.
Claudia Oshry 3:35
When you sleep under any sort of fan, you're going to wake up with dry nose, dry mouth, and your hair is going to be like...
Jackie Oshry 3:41
Yeah, so I'm not a huge ceiling fan person in case anyone was going to get me a ceiling fan.
Claudia Oshry 3:47
Jackie, have you ever slept outside?
Jackie Oshry 3:50
Under the stars?
Claudia Oshry 3:52
Yeah, or in a tent. Have you ever slept in the fresh air? You have?
Jackie Oshry 3:55
Yeah, like on Teen Tour in Israel.
Claudia Oshry 3:59
No wonder you went home early from the Teen Tour. They made you sleep outside?
Jackie Oshry 4:01
Yeah, that was an experience I was dreading, but I actually wound up enjoying it. That wasn't why I went home. Yeah, the Bedouin tents.
Claudia Oshry 4:12
Yeah, I never did it. I don't think I've ever slept under the stars.
Jackie Oshry 4:14
You've never done Bedouin tents?
Claudia Oshry 4:15
No. And I did it on birthright. I've done a couple of organized trips to Israel, and I never did the Bedouin tents.
Jackie Oshry 4:22
It's the best part. And it's crazy because you think it would be like the most dreadful part. You don't shower that night. But like a girl might trip with my hair in French braids. I was so fabulous.
Claudia Oshry 4:32
I definitely need to add to my list of things I would like to do. Sleeping outside under the stars.
