The app store today, and here's Heather with the weather.
Hannah
Well, it's beautiful out there. Sunny and 75. Almost a little chilly in the shade. Now let's get a read on the inside of your car. It is hot. You've only been parked a short time, and it's already 99 degrees in there. Let's not leave children in the backseat while running errands. It only takes a few minutes for their body temperatures to rise, and that could be fatal.
Eddie
Cars get hot fast and can be deadly. Never leave a child in a car. A message from NHTSA and the ad council. Cheers.
Daniel Tosh
Cheers.
Eddie
Thank you for making this okay.
Daniel Tosh
You don't have to like it.
Eddie
I don't? No, I don't like it. Posh show. Posh show. Posh show for show. Hello. Welcome to toss show. Eddie.
John
Daniel.
Eddie
Oh, thank goodness you're here.
John
I am here.
Eddie
Never leaving your side, buddy. Never to the grave. Hey, speaking of death, my niece and nephew, they're past this now, but there was a time where the twins were, I'm gonna say five years old, and they had just learned about death. Somehow, my brother and his wife, they talk more openly than I do with my kids. But anyway, they had learned about death, and they thought it was the funniest thing in the world. The funniest thing. They would just come up to my brother and I, they'd come up to Andrew and I, and they'd just go, ha, ha, your grandparents are dead. And it was. I'm telling you, it was. So, first of all, twins in general terrify you, right? They thought it was the funniest thing in the world to come up to us, make your grandparents are dead crazy. Oh, it was so crazy. But, man, did it make us laugh. Oh, yeah, we laughed hysterically at it. I don't mean. I'm sure he's like, oh, it's just a phase. They don't really know what they're saying. I'm like, or they do, and you've got a bunch of sociopaths living under your roof. My kids have never said it. Yeah. I don't know anybody that's ever said it like that. Never heard this story before. So good. This is different. And then we kind of, like, started feeling bad because they're like. And we're like, oh, I wish. Why did they have to die old? Our grandparents shouldn't be alive. Nobody has a grandparent alive here, right?
John
I do.
Eddie
You do?
John
I do.
Eddie
John's got an alive grandparent.
John
Yes.
Eddie
What? Which one?
John
My grandma my dad's side, 94. Last one.
Eddie
Your dad's side, mom, 94. I mean, it's not that old.
John
I saw her last year. She said her goodbyes, and I was like, I think you're gonna live for, like, another nine years.
Eddie
She said her goodbyes a year ago to you, and she's still going?
John
Yeah. Now she's in a nursing home. She just went to a prom, and they had a play, and she was the lead. Yeah.
Eddie
All right, well, here's my question to you, Eddie. Yeah. I got distracted by my crazy niece and nephew. Would you rather have your children or guacamole? Now, so what I'm saying is, if you have your kids, then you can never have guacamole your entire life. And I've had it, so I know.
John
How good it is.
Eddie
Right.
Daniel Tosh
Okay.
Eddie
That's right. Guacamole is good. I'm gonna have my kids, but you're gonna have your kids. I'm gonna hold it over them that I can't have guacamole anymore. You would have never had your kids, so you wouldn't have this attachment to them. You gotta separate yourself from who they are now. You gotta think, pre. Children. I'm never gonna have guacamole again. I mean, I'm thinking. I don't know. It depends on. Here's the thing. I bring this up to my wife, and I swear to you, she picks guacamole. Wait, you have. Or if you did, she would rather have guacamole than her children. She won't say it out loud, but I can tell in her eyes she just loves guacamole. You know who doesn't like guacamole? My mother. What? She doesn't like guacamole. She gets mad at me about avocados. Yeah. I don't know why people even like avocados. There's no taste.
John
That's insane.
Eddie
Here's. Here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say in defense of my. My wonderful mother. Florida avocados are. Are not as good. They're four times the size. But they don't have the taste. Yes.
John
They're not indigenous to Florida.
Eddie
Well, I don't know where they're getting them from. I just think. I just always remember seeing, like, really large avocados there. But they. They didn't have any taste. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe she's just wrong. Would you rather have margaritas or guacamole? One or the other. You can't have both. For the rest of your life. Guacamole.
John
Guacamole. Fuck them. Fuck margaritas.
Eddie
All right, what about guacamole or $200 million cash?
John
Guacamole.
Eddie
I'm going cash. You want the cash? I hope it's a real question. I get cash and you guys get guacamole. Because if you have $200 million cash, you can buy guacamole. No, no, no. Buy Guacamole Factory. No, I didn't say that you couldn't buy. No one said you couldn't buy guacamole. John. John. Here's what he wants to hear. I heard that this, you know, this is turning into. Guys, this is now turning into a podcast where we are talking about absolute meaningless shit that only we find remotely entertaining and no one else does.

Today's guest is someone I would never meet out bar hopping simply because I don't go to bars. But if you have random bottles of liquor lying around your house collecting dust like a fifth of fireball that Dylan brought over during the pandemic that you have absolutely no idea what to do with, she's here to help. Please welcome home bartender, mixologist, author. Hannah.
Daniel Tosh
Thank you so much for having me.
Eddie
Let's get hammered.
Daniel Tosh
Okay, I'm ready.
Eddie
Hannah, do you believe in ghosts?
Daniel Tosh
I do not. Do you believe in ghosts?
Eddie
No. What about distilled spirits? Boom.
Daniel Tosh
Yes. Yes. I'm a big believer in that kind of spirit.
Eddie
We've been setting up this ghost question for a year and a half to finally get Hannah in the seat so I could do the distilled spirits joke. Man, that was a good payoff. All right, I'm not a drinker, but I'd love to know what all the fuss is about. Sell me on alcohol.
Daniel Tosh
Wow. I don't think I've ever had to do this before. Well, for making cocktails, it makes you. You probably don't need this, but it makes you very popular. Okay. So learning to make cocktails, everyone's always thrilled to have you come to their house, come to their party. It's like you light up a room the minute you arrive with the drinks and the skills.
Eddie
I don't want to show up to anyone's house so that I got it. We're different.
Daniel Tosh
So that was an original interest for me once I realized that I could make something that actually tasted decent. The other thing that I really love, and I don't know if you're a history person, but it really can connect you in a very visceral way to how people have experienced things in the past, which I love. I think that's really cool. Especially things like cognac, for instance.
Eddie
Do you say cognac different than I say it?
Daniel Tosh
How do you say it?
Eddie
I just said cognac.
Daniel Tosh
Cognac. Okay, okay. People make fun of my voice all the time.
Eddie
I'm not making fun of it.
Daniel Tosh
It's okay.
Eddie
But I know that I grew up in Florida. Public education. I know that I enunciate things poorly. So sometimes when I hear things, I'm like, oh, I've been saying that wrong.
Daniel Tosh
Well, I'm from Wisconsin. Madison, Wisconsin. Which probably explains my interest in booze. And I had a Wisconsin accent, so I've spent years trying to get rid of it.
Eddie
If you were to say Wisconsin, I would have a certain preconceived notion of who you are. But when you say Madison, it completely erases it.
Daniel Tosh
So you know Wisconsin. Of course, because that is so true. Madison is very different from the rest of the state.
Eddie
Why were you there?
Daniel Tosh
My father was a professor at the university, so that makes sense. Yeah, he's a. He's a psychopharmacologist and an addiction researcher, so he researches how to stop people from being addicted. And I do booze for a living.
Eddie
You're his. His experiment. Were you created?
Daniel Tosh
I. I don't know how. I guess this is all a very advanced rebellion.
Eddie
You ever do a bar crawl in lacross?
Daniel Tosh
I haven't.
Eddie
I think famously, they have the most bars per square foot.
Daniel Tosh
That sounds. That sounds like Wisconsin.
Eddie
Look that up. I think that's a lacrosse fact that I just pulled from my younger years of touring. When someone asks what you do for a living, how do you answer?
Daniel Tosh
Probably how I'm going to now, which is awkwardly, slowly, and with stutters. You know, I'm a booze content creator.
Eddie
Booze?
Daniel Tosh
Yeah.
Eddie
I mean, that kind of makes it seem cooler when you throw boot. You're like, look, I don't take it too seriously. How is your liver?
Daniel Tosh
That's a good question. So far, so good. So far, so good.
Eddie
You ever worry that, oh, no, I might be going too far with alcohol, or you just have no issues with it?
Daniel Tosh
I think it's so important to keep asking yourself those questions. Right. I mean, it's an addictive substance. So if you're not kind of thinking about that and looking into it, I mean, there are health consequences, behavioral consequences. So, yeah, I'm constantly thinking about it and, you know, making sure I'm not overdoing it.
Eddie
Do you drink every day?
Daniel Tosh
No, not every day. That would be a lot, probably.
Eddie
I drink only to reassure the people that I'm with that I'm not an alcoholic, because I just always feel like if I say I'm not gonna drink, then I have to have more conversations.
Daniel Tosh
We have to be very, very careful. Yeah, no, I get that. I'm curious. Were you ever interested in drinking no. Not even in college or nothing?
Eddie
No. No less in college than now.
Daniel Tosh
So when you went to parties, you were just like, I'm cool.
Eddie
Here's I'm not. I certainly I wasn't cool, but I was on the prowl. I was always like, I was chasing skirt, as they say. That was. I mean, I guess I was, but not successfully.
Daniel Tosh
Ugh.
Eddie
It was just bad. And I also didn't go to a lot of parties. My roommates drank a lot.
Daniel Tosh
And that probably was like, you know, maybe you saw that and you were like, I don't know if that's for me.
Eddie
I think I wasn't into the taste. I never got to the point of, like, getting trashed. And, you know, nobody was fixing me fun cocktails. They were all just drinking beer. And I'm like, this is gross.
Daniel Tosh
You know, I feel like growing up, maybe watching movies or reading about history, I romanticized it so much that I was like, you're going to learn to like martinis. I don't care if you don't like the taste of it. And it did take me about a year, but then I fell in love with them.
Eddie
A year. I see. I've never committed to anything for a year to like it.
Daniel Tosh
I mean, I wanted to be cool really badly.
Eddie
Mission accomplished. You started your studies in Center College in Danville, Kentucky. Now, is that a real place? Is my first question.
Daniel Tosh
It is a real place. I wanted to go someplace that was completely different from Madison, Wisconsin.
Eddie
Is it. Is it that different?
Daniel Tosh
Oh, my gosh. It's so different because Madison's like a huge hippie town and I'd never lived in the south or experienced the south in any way, and it really was a very different experience.
Eddie
Do you hate the South?
Daniel Tosh
No, I don't hate the South. I thought it was beautiful there and things I didn't. Oh, my God.
Eddie
Fun history. Some revisionist history going on down there, too. Did you study revisionist history?
Daniel Tosh
I did not do much studying when I was at Center. I was not a good student there.
Eddie
Then you went to law school for a minute or.
Daniel Tosh
No, I went to law school for one semester at ucla, and it was not for me. Have you ever dabbled in law school?
Eddie
Yes.
Daniel Tosh
Did you?
Eddie
I'm an idiot, okay? No, I have never dabbled in law school. I didn't. I got through college fine, but, like, that was it.
Daniel Tosh
I told my parents, well, you know, going to Center College, I actually dropped out. And I was telling my parents, I don't need a degree. College is stupid. I don't Want to do this?
Eddie
You're right.
Daniel Tosh
Funnily, when I got to la, I fell in love with college and I wanted to become a professor actually after the whole thing.
Eddie
But you'd be a cool professor.
Daniel Tosh
I really wanted to do it. But going into academe is not a clever idea in this day and age. It's, it's very limited jobs, no money, just kind of a meager miserable existence.
Eddie
Oh well, you're not doing a good job selling it at all.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, I don't recommend, I mean, well, what about now?
Eddie
Like if you, if it was more like a part time hustle where you like just like taught one or two classes at a cool college.
Daniel Tosh
That would be so fun. I would love that. Yeah.
Eddie
You majored in history. First, is that knowledge something that you use regularly? And second, do you consider the Marshall Plan to have been a major catalyst for the Cold War?
Daniel Tosh
I don't have a lot of feelings about the Marshall Plan. I did more of the Cold War, Eastern European dissident intellectual. History was more my focus. History is a huge part of what I do with booze, which is something I never thought would be the case. I thought if I didn't go into academe. History is pretty meaningless for your life. But luckily when you're writing about booze and learning about booze, that it's an important skill set.
Eddie
When did cocktail culture first emerge?
Daniel Tosh
Hunch was a huge thing for a long time and it wasn't until the 19th century where people started making it really individually as the go to in bars. Obviously took a bit of a hit during prohibition. And then we have something called the Cocktail Dark Ages from like the 60s. Well, 70s, 80s, 90s, like think you know, Tom Cruise, the movie Cocktail, TGI Friday's Cocktail.
Eddie
Did you like the movie Cocktail?
Daniel Tosh
It's a fun movie. I'm not sure I'd consider him an aspirational bartender.
Eddie
Uh huh.
Daniel Tosh
I mean, good flare. Bartending.
Eddie
Do you know how to throw a bottle around and stuff?
Daniel Tosh
No, no, that would be dangerous. Yes, but not successfully. I mean I'm. Yeah. Not my skill. Very cool to watch, but. Yeah, but so the Cocktail Dark ages. It's when people started using fake sweeteners and fake citrus and all these wacky mixers that you know, weren't very good. And the bad peach snobs, the anatomically named shots became popular, all of that sort of thing. And wasn't then around the year 2000 we started coming out of the dark ages.
Eddie
Did you ever enjoy a jello shot?
Daniel Tosh
Oh yeah, yeah. There's some good Jell O shots out there.
Eddie
I don't know.
Daniel Tosh
There's a place in Portland, Oregon, this is. As someone who doesn't drink, this is gonna be.
Eddie
How long have you lived in Portland, Oregon?
Daniel Tosh
Since 2020.
Eddie
Oh. Did you move there before or after the pandemic?
Daniel Tosh
I moved there. Do you remember how the Princess Cruise Line was docking in San Francisco, and that's where everyone was like, the plague is coming to America.
Eddie
I don't really remember.
Daniel Tosh
I was driving out of San Francisco to Portland as it was docking. So we were right. We just fled the city.
Eddie
Was it because of the pandemic that you moved?
Daniel Tosh
Partly. But also, San Francisco wasn't my favorite place to live.
Eddie
Do you love Portland?
Daniel Tosh
I do. We have a really good grocery store that I'm obsessed with. I go there every day. I feel like Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and I look at the beautiful produce and I get very.
Eddie
You go to a grocery store every day?
Daniel Tosh
Pretty much.
Eddie
I respect it.
Daniel Tosh
I love grocery stores.
Eddie
I wish I loved it.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
I love getting fresh food every day, but just going there, having one that's.
Daniel Tosh
Like that special one that you just know that you love and you can rely on. I don't know. And that there'll always be something fresh and different.
Eddie
My problem is I have two children that I have to lug, and then they both are, like, making me get the stupid cart that's, like, shaped like a police car, and then they're, like, climbing in and out of it. Now I've got to do physical restraint up against the car. It's just awful, the whole thing. Can you hold your liquor pretty well?
Daniel Tosh
Pretty well. I. I'm sometimes surprised I'll be out with friends, and I'm like, why are they acting so funny?
Eddie
And then I go, oh, you're not a lightweight.
Daniel Tosh
No, no, I'm not.
Eddie
Not, no.
Daniel Tosh
Expensive.
Eddie
Can you just go to a party and be, like, a guest, or is there pressure for you to grab a shaker every time?
Daniel Tosh
I love making cocktails at parties. I mean, I'm a bit of an introvert, so having, like, an. A little way to escape into the kitchen for a while is great for me. But, yeah, I also just love making drinks. I enjoy the process, so I hope I'm supposed to make drinks when I go someplace.
Eddie
Have you ever worked as a bartender?
Daniel Tosh
No. No, I haven't. The closest I got was I was a barista at Starbucks for about three weeks, which was awful. I mean, not because of the job, because of me. I was terrible at it. I'm not a morning person having to wake up at 3am when I'd just gone to bed at 2am yeah.
Eddie
An hour is not enough sleep.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. Yeah.
Eddie
All the experts will say that. Do you drink coffee? Are you a big coffee person? Are you a snob?
Daniel Tosh
I'm a bad coffee person. I'm not a snob. I'm like a Nespresso next to my bed. Just put in the pot and, you know, I do it medicinally. How about you?
Eddie
I don't drink any caffeine. I'm like a Mormon. Oh, you got to meet my wives. Beautiful. All of them. How do you come up with your recipes?
Daniel Tosh
I often go from a historic recipe where I'll look at that and I'll kind of make some adjustments.
Eddie
By the way, here's what I do appreciate the most. I will say about. Because I don't drink them, but they're so visually beautiful.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah.
Eddie
I mean that I can appreciate my favorite drink. I don't drink ever.
Daniel Tosh
Okay.
Eddie
You have to understand that I love. This is gonna reflect on me. You're gonna judge me so hard. There's a passion fruit margarita at Nobu that I love.
Daniel Tosh
That sounds nice. That sounds lovely. Passion fruit is great.
Eddie
Oh, I love it. That's my one. I always get excited when I have it.
Daniel Tosh
Have you ever tried a porn star martini?
Eddie
No.
Daniel Tosh
Passion fruit based cocktail. And there's a little sidecar of champagne with it.
Eddie
Whoa, you hear that? Sidecar. I love getting a sidecar of anything that sounds fancy. Do they all taste like. Are you happy with the way they taste or they Are some of them bad?
Daniel Tosh
Oh, some of them are awful. One of our favorite series is Weirdly Dirty Martinis. And this is something where we don't taste it before we make the video. I just make this thing and then my husband and I will give our review after we make it. And sometimes it's pretty bad. I did a melon prosciutto one. Vile. Absolutely awful. I tried to do one. You know, the tinned fish craze is really big. I tried to fat wash a gin with the tinned fish oil and I don't. Have you ever by any chance had fermented shark in, like, Iceland?
Eddie
I've had some bad stuff like that.
Daniel Tosh
It's one of those things where your body is like, this shouldn't be.
Eddie
It doesn't go down. What was that thing? That can of what That I opened? What was it?
John
Sir Stroman.
Eddie
Sir Strauman. Get a can of Sastraman.
Daniel Tosh
Okay.
Eddie
Try that one and just open it up and see what you can do with it.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, man.
Eddie
Szastramon. If you can get a can of that, open it and turn it into a drink of some kind. Are there any drinks that you can't stand? And what's your beef with vodka martinis?
Daniel Tosh
Okay. I mean, I think so. A lot of people who did drink potentially in college and high school, they have that one spirit that maybe they over consumed a bit. So the taste of it, the smell of it is triggering. Yeah, triggering. It also doesn't have much flavor, like a good vodka is supposed to taste like nothing, which to me is not really what I go for. I want something with some good flavor.
Eddie
So to quote my good friend deceased, Sean Rouse, he's like, vodka, it's just a nice kiss to the liver.
Daniel Tosh
Well put.
Eddie
What about eggnog? Is there a way to not make it gross?
Daniel Tosh
I think egg drinks in general. Disgusting. I'm not an egg person. I find it smells like a wet dog to me. It's the idea of it is very gloopy and unappealing.
Eddie
I always eggnog. I always think of Dave Attell, a comedian. He refers to it as elf come. He says you might as well throw it on your back.
Daniel Tosh
Well, yeah. One of my earliest successful. One of my earliest successful tiktoks was how to make eggnog. And it was put it in the thing, put some whipped cream on top, then put it. Then throw it down the sink because eggnog is fucking disgusting.
Eddie
Good for you.
Daniel Tosh
Sorry, I don't know if I can swear.
Eddie
You can swear. I just. Pretty sure you can swear you ever made a pruno.
Heather
What is that?
Eddie
Toilet wine.
Daniel Tosh
Ah, well, at the beginning of the pandemic, I did experiment with the process. I never brought it to completion. I'm too afraid of botulism and I don't know what else. But I did put the bread and the sugar and the ketchup, I think.
Eddie
Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
And then you put a plastic bag and you put it in the back of the toilet.
Eddie
Well, sure you don't want the guards to see it?
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, we just didn't know at the beginning of the pandemic how dire things would get.
Eddie
Your videos have so many props, backgrounds and color schemes. Was that always the plan?
Daniel Tosh
No, no, not at all. I don't know why we started doing it, but once we did, we had so much fun with it that we kept going. I think we had been in apartments forever. And then when we finally had a house, we Were like, look at all this space that we can just abuse.
Eddie
Let's destroy.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, exactly. We're far too immature for that much house.
Eddie
You guys will, like, change your setup completely. You'll paint walls.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, it's like a fun house in there. It's awful. Every. Every wall is a different color, and we're always just kind of doing stuff to it. It's been fun.
Eddie
And what about clothes shopping? Do you like. Like, go?
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, I love clothes shopping. I do estate sales, vintage places.
Eddie
You'll buy dead people's stuff.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, yeah, you do. It has a story. It's cool.
Eddie
Yeah, I know. Usually it's baked in.
Daniel Tosh
Y Still don't believe in ghosts?
Eddie
So, so far, how'd you meet your husband?
Daniel Tosh
We met years ago in 2006, and we met on the set of a commercial, which was very random, and it was love at first sight. He had just come from New York. He was suffering from amnesia.
Eddie
What?
Daniel Tosh
And I had a rom com. It's pretty wild. And I had moved to LA before A track.
Eddie
A railroad track. Amnesia.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. He was.
Eddie
I don't even believe in amnesia.
Daniel Tosh
Okay. So it was so unbelievable to me. I was convinced it was a pickup.
Eddie
Line because this guy's married. You got catfished by somebody that's still with you.
Daniel Tosh
Well, funnily, my mother also didn't believe this, and she got a PI to check up on his story. She told me till, like, two years ago, and I was shocked. But yeah, yeah, it's quite a story.
Eddie
I mean, what if he already had a family that he just brought?
Daniel Tosh
I worry about that. I worried about that. I was like, man, I really hope he doesn't eventually remember something pretty bad. I don't know. But. But so far, it's been almost 20 years and no massive surprises. How about you? How did you meet your wife?
Eddie
I don't remember. Your husband now works for you.
Daniel Tosh
He's so good at what he does that sometimes I'll be like, please stop presenting me with all of these things that I'm supposed to be doing. Because he's the business side, and he's an incredible hustler, and he loves reading contracts, loves doing all the communications. He's got spreadsheets, and just. He's so on top of it sometimes.
Eddie
Is that something that he learned after the amnesia wore off or, like. Cause sometimes you can have amnesia, and then all of a sudden you can play the piano. Maybe his brain was opened up in a different way.
Daniel Tosh
I think part of it was that he did have to stop relying on his memory so much. So he's a big writer downer. He writes everything down. He's.
Eddie
Well, you're married to Memento. I got it.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. He is very much that way.
Eddie
Or 50 first dates. Do you have a little VHS tape that you put in every morning to let him know who you are?
Daniel Tosh
Hey, yeah. And it's a different one every day.
Eddie
Is he more susceptible to another?
Daniel Tosh
I think he is. And he's had a lot of concussions.
Eddie
So what does he, why would he have a lot of. Is he clumsy or does he, you.
Daniel Tosh
Know, he's not a good looker where he's going sometimes. He's one of these people who I think is so goal oriented that if he wants the thing over there, he will go there and all obstacles will come.
Eddie
He doesn't know that he can't go through objects.
Daniel Tosh
Exactly.
Eddie
I got you.
Daniel Tosh
Exactly. So he has to keep me around to make sure, you know, someone can call 911.
Eddie
I'm right here. If you have friends over to your house on a random Tuesday, are they getting served the wackiest martini ever?
Daniel Tosh
You know, not always, but often I feel like it's really fun to do a crazy martini. There's one in particular that I like that I did bring today. It's a junk food martini and it's in my book. I don't know if you like sea salt and vinegar potato chips, but it's infused.
Eddie
I hate it. I hate vinegar. I hate the smell of vinegar.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, you're gonna hate this.
Eddie
Oh, I despise it. I despise it. Let me tell you as a. When my parents would force us to dye Easter eggs.
Daniel Tosh
You use vinegar.
Eddie
And the whole house would reek. And I would just, I would literally, I wanted to be a part of dying the eggs, but I would be dry heaving because I can't stand the smell of it. Then there was a kick where they told us to start every day drinking white vinegar. To start white vinegar. I don't know what they were telling us to drink. What was it?
Daniel Tosh
Apple cider vinegar.
Eddie
Apple cider vinegar. Sorry. Apple cider vinegar and that.
Daniel Tosh
I, I, I've always loved vinegar. I, as a child, I love vinegar.
Eddie
I've always loved vinegar. I don't know.
Daniel Tosh
I love vinegar on my pasta. What? I know. Were you a picky eater as a child?
Eddie
No, no, no. I had too many, There was too many siblings and we were poor.
Daniel Tosh
So you weren't the just the chicken McNuggets and the fries?
Eddie
No, we didn't, I didn't get McNuggets. You know, again, I'm like, we're poor. Poor? I think so. I think we were poor. I don't remember. Favorite city to drink in.
Daniel Tosh
I think the one that surprised me the most is Vegas. Because I always had only been to the strip and I wasn't a big Vegas Strip person. So when I went this last time for the series I do called Drinking River, Bartenders tell me to.
Eddie
Which is also something that no woman should ever do.
Daniel Tosh
I have my husband with me, so he's, you know, always there to make sure we're safe.
Eddie
And so it's a series that you do where you go to a city, you go to a bar, probably a popular bar. And then wherever that bartender tells you to go next, that's what you do.
Daniel Tosh
I go there and I drink what they drink. So like for instance, in Maui, we started at the Ritz Carlton Kapalua and we thought the bartender there, you know, it was going to be some fancy suggestion. Instead it was a dive bar down the street and a beer, a shot of Jaeger and a shot of Tequila. This is how we had to start off the crawl. And you had have to drink whatever they tell you to. And then you go to the next place.
Eddie
I mean, you certainly don't.
Daniel Tosh
I. It's all on camera. Like I've got to do.
Eddie
I do a lot of stuff on camera. Guess what? I fucking cheat some stuff. You think I'm going to drink your fucking vinegar drink.
Daniel Tosh
People, you know, like, you know, they're like, ah, she's not even. She doesn't actually do it. And you know, then I got a bad reputation.
Eddie
Listen, I appreciate that there's integrity.
Daniel Tosh
It's one of the few careers where I'd get a bad reputation for not drinking to excess.
Eddie
But yes, well, Vegas was there. The Vegas. Where did they tell you to go?
Daniel Tosh
I started at a place called Vetri. There's a bartender called. He's not just another bartender is his handle. He's great. He sent me to a place called Herbs and Rye, which was okay.
Eddie
Dylan, the alcoholic got excited.
Daniel Tosh
He made a Ramos Gin fizz, which I don't know if you know what that is.
Eddie
I don't.
Daniel Tosh
You have to shake this thing for like three minutes. Cause there's egg in there and it's very difficult.
Eddie
You don't like egg drinks?
Daniel Tosh
I don't like egg drinks. But the process is incredible to watch. Back in the day when they were invented, they'd have seven bartenders shake a single one of these drinks. Cause once Someone's arms got tired, they'd pass it off to the next arm.
Eddie
I could shake for three minutes.
John
No, you gotta shake.
Daniel Tosh
You have to be very, very vigorous with it.
Eddie
You remember the Shake Weight?
Daniel Tosh
Yes, yes, I do. I don't know if that's how they.
Eddie
Train, but I'm just imagining that a three minute session on that would be la.
Daniel Tosh
Yes.
Eddie
Do you have any bar recommendations here?
Daniel Tosh
I do. I haven't lived here in a while, but I've never been to Thunderbolt. I really want to go to Thunderbolt. I hear great things. I've always had fun at Normandy Club Republique. There's another great bar. Mirite is really wonderful.
Eddie
Yeah, I don't.
Daniel Tosh
When you go out to bars.
Eddie
I don't go out to bars.
Daniel Tosh
You don't go out to bars, Anna?
Eddie
I don't go out. I don't go out.
Daniel Tosh
So, okay, you don't go out. So you're not in a position where you're there with other people drinking and you're like, okay.
Eddie
My entire life was surrounding myself with people that accept that I'm not gonna go anywhere or I'm gonna say that I'll meet you there and then I will not be there.
Daniel Tosh
Do you have people over to your house or do you just avoid.
Eddie
Yeah, my wife does. And I get furious. And then I. And I. Here's what I do. At two hours, it's like things are gonna start getting uncomfortable. Like, you better get them to leave because I'm gonna start walking around the house, turning the lights off, closing doors. Like, let's go, let's get out of here.
Daniel Tosh
I love it.
Eddie
It's not my thing. I think two hours is the appropriate amount of time to be at someone else's home.
Daniel Tosh
I hear that. There's a section in the book that I wrote about.
Eddie
Hold on. I got your book over here. How to be a Better Drinker. You wrote this, by the way. A lot of weight to this book. Feels nice. It feels nice.
Daniel Tosh
Yes. Thank you. Thank you.
Eddie
Oh, and a wooden tennis racket in the background.
Daniel Tosh
I'm sorry.
Eddie
Oh, it's colorful.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah.
Eddie
That explains the price tag too.
Daniel Tosh
What?
Eddie
Colored photos in a book? I'm in the publishing game a little bit.
Daniel Tosh
I was hearing that you're writing a book with your wife.
Eddie
I am.
Daniel Tosh
And how is working with her?
Eddie
Oh, it wouldn't happen if it wasn't with her. She's doing everything.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, amazing.
Eddie
I have to start. Oh, look at all these photos. Yeah, the photos are really pretty.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, thank you.
Eddie
Is that drink Good. A lawn sprawl. G and T. Yes.
Daniel Tosh
It's a nice one for, like, outdoor drinking in the summer. But I was going to say we have a section in the book about how to kick people out of your house.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Daniel Tosh
So I don't think you have to drink in order to use the methods.
Eddie
Okay, give me a spoiler of a tip of how to kick somebody out.
Daniel Tosh
So we have a number of tips based on how confrontational you care to be. So I don't see that you struggle tremendously with confrontation.
Eddie
I enjoy awkwardness and I enjoy confrontation as long as it's verbal, not physical.
Daniel Tosh
So I think, you know, you would probably be fine by just like, okay, go home. But for people who struggle with that a bit, like I do, you know, tips on how to lie to get them out. And then my favorite, which is gaslighting them out of the house.
Eddie
Oh.
Daniel Tosh
So you make it warmer in the house. And they keep saying, it's getting warm. You make it warmer in the house.
Eddie
Lighting. Got it.
Daniel Tosh
If they want another drink, you make it pretty weird. The playlist, you know, it's Gregorian chants all of a sudden, and they stop wanting to be there.
Eddie
These aren't subtle at all.
Daniel Tosh
No, no. But once someone's had a few cocktails start to go, is this me? Is this weird or is it just me?
Eddie
Your book also talks about drinking etiquette.
Daniel Tosh
Yes.
Eddie
You know who could use a lesson in drinking etiquette? Old Dylan back there. God. Oh, man, does he put him away. How many drinks you have this morning? Dylan, be honest. This is a safe space.
John
I passed out.
Eddie
What did you say? Uh huh. All right, everybody else on the show gets a gift.
Daniel Tosh
Oh.
Eddie
Let's see what I get for you. Just so you know, it's not new stuff. It's just stuff around my house I don't want.
Daniel Tosh
I wish I'd brought you something.
Eddie
Oh, you're gonna make me a drink. Okay. These are Tom Ford glasses that I bought my wife. And then she put them on and I made fun of her. I don't remember this. I made fun of her and then she.
Daniel Tosh
You really set her up.
Eddie
I didn't mean to. I just, like. I don't know what I said, but I said something and she refused to ever wear them again. But I thought, they're silly enough for you, silly enough for me. Okay, well, no, like you do.
Daniel Tosh
Hey, they look lovely, right?
Eddie
They are lovely, but she won't ever put them on because she said I teased you. Okay, so you got a pair of glasses now thank you.
Daniel Tosh
Thank you.
Eddie
Now, I'm a bit of a mixologist myself. I have a machine at my house that does sparkling water.
Daniel Tosh
Okay. Yes.
Eddie
And all I do is flavor my sparkling waters. But I don't like any of the flavors that I'm giving you.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, good.
Eddie
I didn't like this. That's a raspberry mint. Mint. I didn't like it. I don't want you to have that.
Daniel Tosh
It sounds like it would be good in a cocktail.
Eddie
It's horrible. You should never have bubbly water with pineapple in it.
Daniel Tosh
Ooh. Okay.
Eddie
Okay. This. I don't know. Somebody. I don't know why somebody gave me this bottle of tequila, but I don't want it.
Daniel Tosh
Nice. Your wife doesn't want it?
Eddie
No, she doesn't get. Have a say. I got some beer koozies. I don't. I don't ever drink beer. Why are there beer koozies? You think I want all these gifts?
Daniel Tosh
Oh, you to take them.
Eddie
Just throw those on the floor.
Daniel Tosh
Thank you.
Eddie
You're very gracious. Just throw that. That's Aviator nation. Why they. Somebody bought me a gross bottle of rose, but I don't know if it's gross. That's not gonna fit in my wine fridge, so.
Daniel Tosh
Is that a cognac?
Eddie
I don't know what it is. It's not mine. It's yours.
Daniel Tosh
Interesting. All right.
Eddie
Is it interesting or is it hideous?
Daniel Tosh
You'll have to. I do think it's a wine. Interesting.
Eddie
I don't know. Whatever. Will you please put it all on the floor? Cause we can't have it up here. Is that garbage Tequila?
Daniel Tosh
I've never had it. I'll have to.
Eddie
Guys, you know, that's garbage.
John
That looks good.
Eddie
Is it good?
John
I don't know.
Eddie
Well, I don't. Is tequila bad or good? Right. It can be good.
Daniel Tosh
People love tequila here.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness. It actually scared me.
Daniel Tosh
Me too. All right.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness. My poor desk.
Daniel Tosh
Hey, Puzzles.
Eddie
Yeah, I got you two tiny puzzles.
Daniel Tosh
Thank you. Thank you.
Eddie
You know what I want you to do?
Daniel Tosh
Uh huh.
Eddie
Since they're tiny puzzles, I want you to pull down your tray table in Alaska Airlines and see if you can knock out a puzzle before you land.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, man, I love it. Yeah, I'm gonna do it.
Eddie
What are some of the basic staples you can keep on hand to make some simple cocktails at home?
Daniel Tosh
I think as long as you have a citrus, like a lemon or a lime.
Eddie
I got both of those.
Daniel Tosh
Perfect. Perfect. Some sort of sweetener. And then pretty much any straight spirit, you Have a really good start there. So vodka, gin, bourbon, rum, tequila, you name it. And that's all you really need.
Eddie
When did we start needing 400 different types of ice on hand? There's two types of ice I want cubed and crushed. Anything else, I Go fuck yourself is what I say.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, man. Ice is a really big deal.
Eddie
You want a gear of ice? Do you make the. What kind of trays are in your freezer?
Daniel Tosh
So we go way crazier than that. We do the directional freezing for the clear ice and then we chop it with a saw at our house.
Eddie
What is going on?
Daniel Tosh
Because the clear ice melts at a slower rate, so it doesn't dilute your drink as quickly.
Eddie
I remember at one point, people were buying. I remember as a child, those reusable ice cubes. Yeah, that is disturbing that that was thrown in a drink as a child. Some. My parents. There's no way my parents cleaned it.
Daniel Tosh
They tried to make it cool to do that again with whiskey stones, which are like rocks you put in the freezer and then you put in your drink. They're not very effective. There's something gross about that to me.
Eddie
I don't trust any place they're not cleaning it. Not well enough. If someone at home wanted to impress their guest, what's a simple drink they could make to impress?
Daniel Tosh
To impress? I think a boulevardier is always a nice one. It's three ingredients, and all you're doing is switching out the base spirit. And it's a sophisticated, lovely drink. You can make it ahead of time, it doesn't go bad. So you can keep it in your freezer. And it looks pretty. It's got, like, you know, a cool name. I think that's a really good easy one.
Eddie
I like equal parts. You start saying a splash of this and I get scared.
John
You just fold the cheese are strong, though. Boulevardiers are three spirits together.
Daniel Tosh
Yes, they are strong, but I think, you know, you still seem impressive, you know. But they're very strong.
Eddie
Very strong. Dylan, you gotta get. Dylan wants a lot of bang for his buck.
John
Get a little loose lipped over here.
Eddie
Okay. Han, are you gonna make me a drink?
Daniel Tosh
I am gonna make you a drink. I brought two.
Eddie
Okay. I'm excited for both.
Daniel Tosh
Okay.
Eddie
You didn't bring the vinegar one, though, did you? You did. Okay, great.
Daniel Tosh
You're gonna hate it, but I was expecting.
Eddie
I don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Start with the one. Okay, good.
Daniel Tosh
Okay.
Eddie
You do whatever you gotta do. Yeah, whatever you gotta do. True or false? Mixology is a term that was coined by every asshole behind a bar who sports a vest and has an over the top mustache.
Daniel Tosh
It's pretty widely made fun of at this point. Yeah, I don't think anyone wants to go by that anymore.
Eddie
What, did you bring an ice scooper just for that?
Daniel Tosh
I have a lot of paraphernalia.
Eddie
It just seemed like you could have just thrown some ice in there. I'm not gonna. I'm not a. I'm not a germaphobe. Oh, are you putting milk in something?
Daniel Tosh
Hey, you said you like chocolate milk.
Eddie
I did not say I like chocolate milk. Maybe when I was six. Do you have any? I have any. I have ibs. This is. You know, she's gonna light me up. Can most cocktails be turned into mocktails that are even more delicious while costing the exact same astronomical price?
Daniel Tosh
I think that we're doing a lot with mocktails right now. I still rarely find a mocktail I like as much as a cocktail.
Eddie
I went to this place in Tahoe City and they have all these like non alcoholic whiskeys and gin, and I'm just like. It's just.
Daniel Tosh
I prefer mocktails that just don't even really try to. Thank you.
Eddie
Yeah, I want something that my kid can sip.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, there's one that I make around the holidays that I really like because what holidays? Like Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Eddie
You love Christmas.
Daniel Tosh
I do.
Eddie
I love Christmas. Oh, I love Christmas too.
Daniel Tosh
All right, so what we're gonna do here is we have some cognac, some creme de cacao, and some Grand Marnier. So that's chocolate and orange and cognac with some heavy cream. Sorry.
Eddie
No, you don't have to apologize. It might be delicious.
Daniel Tosh
All right, so we do that and then you want to close the shaker really well so it doesn't explode. Now I'm going to have to stand up.
Eddie
Okay, I'm nervous. Okay, look at this. Now is this gonna be. Is this gonna get prettier or is this it?
Daniel Tosh
It's gonna get a little prettier.
Eddie
Okay, good, because that's what I wanted. I wanted. Oh, what kind of chocolate is this?
Daniel Tosh
This is an orange chocolate. Oh, you don't like orange chocolate?
Eddie
No, I don't like orange chocolate.
Daniel Tosh
Why? Oh, man. Chocolate is a Christmas treat. You know those chocolate oranges, why wouldn't.
Eddie
You go with just a regular dark chocolate? Is it milk chocolate or dark?
Daniel Tosh
No, it's dark.
Eddie
Okay, how much cacao are we talking?
Daniel Tosh
I don't have the wrapper. Honey, do you wanna see how much?
Eddie
Don't worry about my desk.
Daniel Tosh
All right.
John
How much cacao is in the chocolate?
Daniel Tosh
Can you just ask that?
Eddie
Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah.
Eddie
Is it like over 70? Is it over 70? That's all.
Daniel Tosh
I don't think it is. I don't think it's that chocolate.
Eddie
You could have gotten a smaller file. Is that a foot file? If you brought a foot file here.
Daniel Tosh
All right.
Eddie
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
Here you are.
Eddie
Is this finished?
Daniel Tosh
This is a chocolate orange brandy Alexander.
Eddie
Chocolate orange brandy Alexander, Yes. And I'm just supposed to sip it and enjoy it, or am I supposed to chug it? Cheers.
Daniel Tosh
Cheers. You're so sweet.
Eddie
Thank you for making this. Okay.
Daniel Tosh
You don't have to like it.
Eddie
I don't? No, I don't like it. I don't like it. But it's. But it's not like I'm not struggling to choke it down.
Daniel Tosh
Okay, that's good. That's good.
Eddie
It's just part of me was like, well, I'd rather just eat that chocolate bar. Does anybody. Does this drink sound delicious to one of you?
John
It sounds good.
Eddie
Dylan. Of course.
John
Dylan.
Eddie
Dylan, get over here. I got a drink for you.
John
Dylan, let's see your room.
Daniel Tosh
Thanks.
Eddie
Come on, Dylan.
John
Dylan's coming in.
Eddie
He said free alcohol. Let's have a real drinker taste it and tell me if you think, oh, that's a fun drink.
Daniel Tosh
So this is the one. This is one that I tend to make for people who don't like the taste of alcohol.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. All I taste is alcohol.
Daniel Tosh
That's so funny.
John
Yeah, it's really good.
Eddie
Well, drink it all.
Daniel Tosh
It's a lot of heavy cream.
Eddie
Why are you not gonna drink it?
Daniel Tosh
Really?
Eddie
I'm not gonna check it? Just drink it. You have a problem. Don't act like you don't want alcohol all the time.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, my God.
Eddie
Yeah, take it over there.
Daniel Tosh
I love it.
Eddie
Take it over there and fix our fucking audio.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, my God. Well, thank you for being a good sport.
Eddie
Nobody's gonna say, let's get this next one out here. I'm drunk.
John
Me, too.
Eddie
I am hammered. I'm gonna. If you actually poisoned me and killed me, I just want you to know I kind of think it, like, I would appreciate it. Like it. That's pretty funny. And we would air this and, guys, we'd air this and I'd want you to cut it normal and, like, let. Let people at home go, well, what a dipshit. He saw that weird bag she pulled out full of liquids. Why did he just start fucking drinking it?
Daniel Tosh
Do you like blue cheese?
Eddie
I hate blue cheese.
Daniel Tosh
Okay, so let's leave the blue cheese out.
Eddie
Hate blue cheese? Well, yeah. Yeah. I mean, you've made everything else that I don't like. Why not put blue cheese in it?
Daniel Tosh
All right, so first, would you like to pick your cocktail Peg?
Eddie
Mm. What are my choices here?
Daniel Tosh
I think there's more of an astrology theme to this set, so I'll take the crab. Okay.
Eddie
I love a little crab.
Daniel Tosh
Are you an astrology person?
Eddie
No. Are you kidding me? That's nonsense.
Daniel Tosh
I don't get astrology, but I always think it's fun listening people talk about it.
Eddie
I mean, it might as well speak a foreign language to me, which would be awful. No, foreign language that I can't make out any words in.
Daniel Tosh
All right, so this has been. This is a gin that infused with sea salt and vinegar potato chips, and then has been fat washed.
Eddie
So did you infuse it?
Daniel Tosh
Yes.
Eddie
What kind of potato chips?
Daniel Tosh
Kettle chips.
Eddie
Kettle chips. Kettle does some good work.
Daniel Tosh
Yes.
Eddie
They really know how to make their chips crunchy. That's a long spoon. Yeah, I like that.
Daniel Tosh
This is my travel spoon.
Eddie
You'd think your travel spoon would be shorter, but your travel spoon is longer than all of our spoons.
Daniel Tosh
It's a telescoping.
Eddie
I understand what it is. That's fun. That's fun. You could. If you and your husband had seats across the aisle on Alaska Airlines, you could be like, you gotta try this, honey. And you just give him a big, long spoonful from across the way. Hell, that spoon. You could. If he was window and you were isle. You just go around that middle person. So much tin in your life.
Daniel Tosh
So normally I like to freeze these in a freezer, but we had to do it with just ice here.
Eddie
Oh, ice wasn't even part of this. I got you.
Daniel Tosh
No, no. You need to. Chilling three olives. Apparently, it's bad luck to do olives in even numbers.
Eddie
That sounds Asian. They hate. They hate the number 4. The Asians hate the number 4. Is it all Asians or is it just. Is it just Chinese or is it Japanese?
John
I think it's all Asians.
Eddie
All Asians hate the number four.
John
Every single one.
Eddie
They hate it. I always learned that from when I used to watch, like, home shopping shows and, like, the Asian couple. Babe, we can't have a four in our address. And I was like, all right, that's it. It's just potato chips.
Daniel Tosh
And there's a little olive brine in there as well. And then this is. It's Tough here. But the most important part of a martini is the temperature and dilution. So I almost think of those as their own ingredient, which is why this one won't be ideal, because I couldn't freeze all this material ahead of time.
Eddie
Is this mine?
Daniel Tosh
This is yours.
Eddie
Oh, man, look at this.
Daniel Tosh
And if you have any other taking takers, I wouldn't. Here it is.
Eddie
We already know who's going to take that.
Daniel Tosh
All right, cheers.
Eddie
Wait, we have to. John's coming in. Am I supposed to drink now?
Daniel Tosh
Yep.
Eddie
Okay. Do I need to hold my crab?
Daniel Tosh
You don't need to. Oh, you're gonna hate that. But if you like dirty martinis, I.
Eddie
Mean, I'm not gonna say that I hate it. No, it's not good. No, it's not good. I don't hate it.
Daniel Tosh
It's very funky. It's very dirty. But one of the things that I really like about this is so many drinks are sweet.
Eddie
Oh, wow.
Daniel Tosh
And this is not sweet. This is very, very, very savory. You can smell the potato chip, right?
Eddie
I can smell a potato chip, guys. Maybe I am a supertaster.
John
There you go.
Daniel Tosh
So did you prefer the sweet, creamy one or the dank, salty, savory, dirty one?
Eddie
I don't have the answer to that.
Daniel Tosh
The thing about this one is, it's really weird, but I also feel like it's one I find myself craving randomly. I'll be, like, just in the mood for something really salty. And, like, should I be holding it.
Eddie
Like you're holding yours?
Daniel Tosh
You do want to hold it by the stem because you don't want to warm the drink with your hand.
Eddie
Gotcha. I mean, I think I feel cooler drinking this one.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, it matches your outfit. You look great.
Eddie
The other one, I felt like I was drinking a milkshake.
John
This matches your shirt, right?
Eddie
This. This is good. Well, John, you want to come in here and try this other one? Come on, try this one and tell me if you. I don't dislike it. I thought I was gonna hate it.
Daniel Tosh
I thought you were, too. Especially because the vinegar element.
Eddie
And there's vinegars. I gotta cheers again. I already cheers before it does. I don't think I have to cheers every new person that comes to the fucking table. But I hate when we're at a large table and people start cheersing and now we're going around and. Do you like it?
Daniel Tosh
It's very weird. So normally what I do with these olives, too, I put bacon, blue cheese, and a little fresh garlic in the olives. So you kind of take a sip and then you have a bite and it's kind of like a potato chip loaded potato chip sort of situation. Well, I admire your bravery.
Eddie
I mean, it's not like I served our country. I just had a drink of alcohol. I want to thank you for your service, by the way. At the end of the day, would you rather just have a nice glass of wine?
Daniel Tosh
No. Absolutely not.
Eddie
Huh.
Daniel Tosh
Do you like wine?
Eddie
No. I don't know. I didn't know if you were like, no, I appreciate this and you like this, but I didn't know if you were like, yeah, but if I can just.
Daniel Tosh
Neither of these is my go to. I'll drink. Black Manhattans are sort of what I make most of the time at home. When you make cocktails, you can make it exactly the way you like it every time. Whereas a bottle of wine, I can't really have much say in what's in the bottle once it's there. You know, I'm not really getting in there and making it perfect for my own tastes.
Eddie
Have you ever named one of your own drinks?
Daniel Tosh
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
A lot of them.
Eddie
A lot of your. You've named them?
Daniel Tosh
Yes. Like this is the junk food martini. It's in the book.
Eddie
So this is yours?
Daniel Tosh
Yes.
Eddie
No one's made this before you?
Daniel Tosh
Not before me. Well, not that I know of. It's not been written down.
Eddie
I'm sure there'll be people in the comments. I've used kettle chips for fucking 25 years. My grandpa used to use the mesquite barbecue. Yep.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah.
Eddie
Anyway, Hannah, thank you for being on here. I appreciate it very much.
Daniel Tosh
Thank you so much for having me. It's been very fun. Thank you.
Eddie
I gotta go to rehab.

John
Left you a little nice gift that side, man.
Eddie
Dylan knows all the words. Dylan, you gave me a little sidecar. Aw, that was nice. That was nice to learn about some of these fancy drinks. Well, we got some plugs. You ready? Come here. Sit up. Be tall. Be strong. You smell good. You go to the groomer? Nope. Say the groomer came to me. What you know about me? Oh, you riding dirty. Head on over to the toss show store dot com. Eddie's got a tour. Check out his dates. I've got a tour. Check out my dates. I just got back from the road. That was loads of fun. Carl, did you have a good time? Oh, yeah, Dan, Good time. Your eyelashes. They could have clipped them or something. They're so long. It's time for the free plug. Carl, you got music. What do you want to do with. Oh, Drew. Some old Elvis Presley Sound alike. Yeah, you like Elvis or you don't like Elvis? You could learn to speak dog. This free plug is a reminder that if you bought Quaker products like Chewy Bars, Frito Lay Chip or Captain Crunch between December 2023 and January 2024. That's a small window. She talked about just that one month period. Any Quaker, you might be entitled to a piece of a $6.75 million class action lawsuit. What's the claim? You guys know Quaker allegedly used misleading labeling and failed failed to properly warn people that some products might have had a little salmonella surprise. Hold on now. They used misleading labeling? Oh, just about the salmonella. I think it's a couple things wrapped up into one class action. Yeah, but how is their labeling wrong for a one month period? I don't know. It must have been about the labeling. Must have been in reference to the salmonella. Yeah, because it's not like they're gonna change. They don't change the box of Captain Crunch every month. They probably haven't changed the box in six years. I might take a shot at Captain Crunch of my own for tearing up the roof of my mouth as a child. There you go. I'll tell you what, Captain Crunch. I don't know if you're a sponsor of the show. Hell, I don't care at this point. You send me six boxes, okay? And two boxes better be a Berry Crunch. Crunch, Berry, Crunch, Berry, whatever. They fucking know they work there. They know what they're doing.
John
They know what they're talking to in nostalgia.
Eddie
One of them's got berries. I'm not giving them. I don't need to say it, right? If I'm suing them, it's a threat.
John
You're threatening.
Eddie
I'm threatening them. Whatever. I want six free boxes. Six free boxes, and I. Shut the fuck up.
John
Of just Crunch Berry.
Eddie
What's that?
John
Of just Crunch Berry.
Eddie
No, I. Bitch, you didn't listen. More than two. I said said. Four boxes are going to be of Captain Crunch, the original. And then I want two boxes of Captain Berry Crunch. I don't know if they do a chocolate one. I don't want that at all.
John
Well, you're not doing the peanut butter.
Eddie
I don't like the peanut butter one.
John
God.
Eddie
It's a bit overwhelming.
John
Make it eight.
Eddie
No, I don't want the peanut butter one. The peanut butter one grosses me out in fairness. You know what, Captain Crunch. Knock it off. Just send me some puffins. I like puffins. Kind of remember Captain Crunch? Yes. It would rip the roof of your mouth, but then it would get, like, slimy around the edge. Right? Ugh. I always yell at my children whenever I pour them a bowl of cereal. Like, go. Yeah, you gotta, like, go. You're right.
John
Time Crunch.
Eddie
And they don't. They don't care. They just. They're so slow. And then it's just. They just eat mush 30 minutes later, like cereal should be. You got, like, 45 seconds. Don't worry about a lengthy trial. While Quaker denies any wrongdoing, they're coughing up the settlement anyway to avoid the cost and PR nightmare of court. That's not a PR nightmare. Go to battle. If you. If you're saying you didn't do anything wrong.
John
Yeah, fight it.
Eddie
Fight it, Quaker. What. What other products do they have? They do. They do all the chips and the bars and the chips. You do your oats. I mean the Quaker oats.
John
Yeah, those little packets with the flavored instant oatmeal.
Eddie
What are all the flavors that come in the variety pack of the instant oatmeal?
John
Cinnamon. You have maple, you have apple, and then you have regular.
Eddie
Okay, so it's just apple that you try to avoid?
John
Yes.
Eddie
I don't even really. I don't even really do those. I haven't done those in. In a lifetime. Oatmeal's not really my favorite. Now, Cream of Wheat, that's another story. I love Cream of Wheat. Haven't had it in probably 40 years, but I know that I used to love Cream of Wheat.
John
Yeah, yeah. I'm not sure you still do love Cream of Wheat.
Eddie
You don't think I'd love it?
John
No, no, no, I'm pretty sure you don't.
Eddie
You put a pat of butter in there, and you give me a couple pieces of toast. Oh, that's a good breakfast. Some Cream of Wheat. Cream of Wheat I never had. I never had grits, really, as a regular meal as a child, but I always had Cream of Wheat. Mm. Guys, we're talking about a free. Free plug for the Quaker lawsuit. Class action. Well, I'm glad that Quaker's doing the right thing. We'll see you next week.
