Show Programming Update, Dear Toasters & Patreon Plug
At 7:47 · chapter starts 5:40
With Love Island filling the recap schedule Monday through Wednesday, Claudia announces an administrative decision: Dear Toasters moves to Thursdays until the season ends. She also teases a special Patreon episode in which the sisters will revisit old Dear Toasters submissions from 2019, live-react to their past advice, and measure how much they've evolved — 'from toxic wives to toxic moms.' Jackie then steers the conversation to a genuine Patreon love letter, recounting a dinner conversation where she told a new friend the show's origin story and was reminded how fundamentally Patreon changed their lives. At $7.99 a month — a price that has never been raised in nine years — and approximately 500 accumulated bonus episodes, Claudia pledges they will be 'the last ones on the Titanic.'
The Toast's Patreon Origin Story
Patreon was the first platform that ever allowed The Toast to make money, changing the trajectory of the show. Nine years in, with ~500 bonus episodes at an unchanged $7.99/month, Jackie and Claudia declare they will be the last people on the Patreon Titanic.
