Daniel Tosh
Hey guys, it's me, Daniel. Do me a solid. I don't ask for a lot, but like and subscribe to this podcast also. You could rate it highly. I would appreciate, maybe even write a review. Maybe we become best friends. Have you ever considered not letting the beat drop? Yeah, wouldn't that be a fun concert? He refused to drop the beat. Posh show. Posh show. Tosh show for show. Welcome to Tosh Show. I'm your host, Daniel Tosh and I have a huge announcement. For the past year and a half, ish. We have delivered quality show after quality show and we were with iheartradio. And what did iheart do? Oh, they dropped the ball because they let us slip through their fingers. We are no longer with iHeart. We have moved. Wait for. We signed a two year deal with Libsyn.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
There you go.
Daniel Tosh
There it is. That's the big announcement. This podcast is now under the Libsyn umbrella. Now, what does that mean for you at home? Oh, there's going to be changes. The first change that they want to do. No guests, they said, Daniel, knock it off with the guests. That's not the strong suit of the show. They also want a new host. I'm not going to argue with them. They know what they're doing. And listen, Lipson, they don't just do comedy. And I've always said this about this podcast. Okay, this is not a comedy podcast. This is a political podcast that focuses on comedy. By the way, am I saying it right? Because I just signed with this company, Libby Syn Libsyn man, there they are, a powerhouse company. You're gonna notice the quality of ads that air on this podcast now are gonna go up a tier. And you're probably gonna want to support the people that I'm shilling for because I have to make sure Libson stays happy. Stays happy.
Eddie (Co-host)
I liked Hapsy.
Daniel Tosh
Hapsy. Oh, they. They do a show called Islamic finance.
Eddie (Co-host)
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
I don't know what that's about, but I'm sure it's good. If Libson's behind it, it's got to be good. They have a conservative podcast called Brutally Honest Talk Radio. It's weird that that's a podcast, but called talk radio. Yeah, we should call this Tosh TV Show. But it's a podcast.
Eddie (Co-host)
Yeah, why not?
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, they have the Georgia Politics podcast.
Eddie (Co-host)
That sounds fun.
Daniel Tosh
You know what that's about?
Eddie (Co-host)
I'm gonna guess Georgia Politics.
Daniel Tosh
Nail on head, buddy.
Eddie (Co-host)
Thank you.
Daniel Tosh
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.
Eddie (Co-host)
Sure can.
Daniel Tosh
That's a pretty good title.
Eddie (Co-host)
That's a great title. Tells you what it is.
Daniel Tosh
The country or the state? What's that? The country or the state? Georgia. The country of Georgia, I'm guessing.
Eddie (Co-host)
Why you think so?
Daniel Tosh
Georgia Politics. Just you talking about over there in Atlanta.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
That's not interesting. No one wants to hear about that. But the country, Georgia. Oh, what's going on over there? Yeah, I love seeing a 12 year old with a automatic weapon.
Eddie (Co-host)
Who doesn't? I mean, it's fun. Breath of fresh air over there.
Daniel Tosh
More fun school photos. Now, if there was a show called the Bulldogs Politics, I'd be interested in that as well. Spurrier, you think prizes are cool? Spur, you're probably wondering, well, why did you sign with Libsyn over some of the other companies? Because Lord knows a lot of suitors came a calling. We started off with 12 companies wanting this podcast, okay? And then after our first round of negotiation where we demanded that we get paid to do it all, but three of them dropped off.
Eddie (Co-host)
Hometown.
Daniel Tosh
No, but, but Libsyn, they said, listen, we believe in you so much. We're not one of these companies that just on the first few months of our relationship, will we return your phone calls. We're going to do it for at least six months.
Eddie (Co-host)
That's nice commitment.
Daniel Tosh
And they're going to get us some good ads. And some of you people at home, like, I wish there was no ads. Well, I wish you would drop dead, okay? Because we need ads. Lord knows we need ads. People here, they've got families to provide for me, eh? I'm sick of my family riding my coattails, I'll tell you. So I'm in Tahoe, you know, hanging out in the woods, in the mountains, in the lake. Brought my little submarine that my manager, Christy, bought me. Toy of the summer.
Eddie (Co-host)
There you go.
Daniel Tosh
I've said it. I've said it a few times. Toy of the summer. The reason that it was the toy of the summer is because it's so user friendly. It's so easy.
Eddie (Co-host)
Okay?
Daniel Tosh
You just. You just press a button and it goes. And then you go faster or slower. It was pretty amazing. I don't know what she paid for it. We should look it up and put that on the screen. See what kind of gift she bought me. Had my kid on my back, took him underwater. He's like, dad, I can't go 10 meters. I'm like, who the fuck knows what meters are? And down we went. Because it has a thing on it. It has a regulator. Once it gets to 10 meters, you have to type in a code for it to go deeper. Wow. But I was just like, we can do it, buddy. He's like, my ears hurt. I'm like, you got to regulate. He's like, I'm six. I'm like, regulate. We're going down. You're probably wondering why I look so handsome, so manly. Well, I just got back from Tahoe. I was in the mountains. And when I was in the mountains, I met someone. Someone that I never thought in a million years would agree to sit next to me in this studio. A person that shies away from everything that this podcast represents. Enjoy. If I know my listeners like I think I do, then I know you guys sweat a lot. You probably stink to high heavens.

Honestly, Will, I didn't plan any trips, but I did switch to T Mobile with their new Family Freedom offer.
Daniel Tosh
That's not the itinerary we're following.
Alex (Co-host)
Well, I'm departing from AT&T and embarking on a new journey with T Mobile. They paid off my family's four phones up to $3200 and gave us four new phones on the house.

Daniel Tosh
Car show. My guest today is somewhat of a legend who has spent his entire life living off the grid. When you tell your friends that you saw him on my show, they might not believe you even with video evidence. He is equal parts single reed woodwind prodigy and conspiracy theory clickbait folklore. The man, the myth, the Sasquatch. Would you like some water?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, you can speak. That's interesting. That's my first question. I didn't know that.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
I love that denim shirt you wear.
Daniel Tosh
Thank you. I wore it for you. Here's why I wore it for you. I didn't have a lot of woodsy attire, but at least I felt like denim was. Was in the. Like an outdoorsy kind of. I was trying to go for mountainy, but I ended up more cowboy. It's. I apologize. Do you believe in ghosts?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You know, I think that I believe in the unknown. And so that's. That's everything that there could be. Ghost is also kind of just depends on what it means. You know, I'm going to put that.
Daniel Tosh
Down as a no. You don't believe in ghost. Do you believe in Bigfoot?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, of course.
Daniel Tosh
Do you know Bigfoot?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Well, I come from a family of bigfoots.
Daniel Tosh
What size shoe are you wearing these days?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Well, I'm not really. I still don't really wear shoes that much ballpark. But it Would be ballpark or like.
Daniel Tosh
That 11 and a half?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
No, like. Oh, Daniel, come on. That would be funny, though. That would be funny.
Daniel Tosh
I like you having an. I like you having a 10. I like you having just a normal foot. That 10 and a half. 11.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Why do you like that?
Daniel Tosh
Why would I think that's funny? Because I just think it would be funny. That Bigfoot. That. That's a perf analogy for America. It's the biggest thing you've ever seen. What size is it? It's an eleven and a half. Not that big. Are Bigfoot and Sasquatch different?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You know, they're. They're a tiny bit different in the history of it, but every culture has a version of Bigfoot, whether it's Yowie or Yeti. Sasquatch. It definitely traces back a very, very, very long time.
Daniel Tosh
What about the Abominable Snowman? You know him?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah. You know, he is a real dick, though.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Little Beef. Little Beef, where are you originally from and where'd you grow up?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Grew up in the woods, but around the areas of North Carolina. Yeah. East coast, but traveling. Traveling all over, you know.
Daniel Tosh
You like the Carolinas?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, I love the mountains and love the beach.
Daniel Tosh
You ever go to Kitty Hawk?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, I've been to Kitty Hawk. Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. I mean, not a lot of room for you to hide there, though.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
No. And the wind is. It's lots of wind, you know, which. Which can be good. But I've tried to do some, like, live sets out there, and, you know, the microphones pick up all this wind. It's crazy. Okay.
Daniel Tosh
Who or what got you into the saxophone?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You know, I just heard it on the radio, and it was one of those things where you just feel this, like, immediate spiritual connection because it's such a raw, primal sound. I was just, like, became obsessed with it. It was that song Urgent by Foreigner with the Junior Walker solo in it, that classic rock song on the radio. I became obsessed with the saxophone ever since. That's actually how I got the nickname Saxquatch.
Daniel Tosh
The first person that turned me onto the saxophone was John Cusack.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Wow. Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, didn't he. He always used to play the saxophone in those rom coms in the 80s. Better off dead. I believe he played a saxophone in summer camp. There was a bunch of them. He liked to draw cartoon characters, and they incorporated that into all his movies. And they always had the saxophone. You guys might not remember that. One crazy summer One crazy summer thanks, Ed. Good poll.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
How did that make you Feel when.
Daniel Tosh
You heard it, I liked it. Now, as I got older, I didn't love the saxophone as much.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Why not?
Daniel Tosh
I don't know. Little. Little whiny. I don't. I don't know what the answer is. Maybe it wasn't played by the right person for me or. Or thing. What do I say? What's the. What's the PC term now?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Beast, I guess.
Daniel Tosh
Beast. Nice. How tall are you?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
About seven foot. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
That's a big fella. How long you been playing the Saxophone?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Probably about 15 years or so.
Daniel Tosh
Do you have lessons?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Well, listening to music and just kind of playing along to it and jamming and playing with other musicians is just really the lessons that.
Daniel Tosh
It always blows my mind when people can do stuff like that. Like, you can just learn. I never could do it with any instrument. I never committed long enough. Maybe, but I don't think that's the real answer. I think I just don't have the ability.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Well, when did you learn stand up? How did you learn stand up?
Daniel Tosh
Well, I just sucked for 20 years.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I can. Maybe not 20 years, but I've definitely. Even today, I could still say that. The eye of the listener.
Daniel Tosh
Do you play other instruments?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, I play, you know, keyboard. I actually grew up kind of a jazz snob. You know what I'm saying? Did you grow up kind of a comedy snob?
Daniel Tosh
No, not at all. No. No. But I know. I mean, I understand what a jazz snob is because. Cause when I listen to jazz, I'm fascinated by people that think it's amazing.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
And I'm just like, okay, yeah, so jazz snob. To the point where if someone around me even played something on the radio that wasn't jazz, I would be like, turn that shit off. You know? And then one day I realized that I was just being an asshole, you know? And I was like, I need to connect with people. That's really what it's about, is connecting with people. And so I have this theory that we like whatever we listen to the most.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, that can't be true because I listen to so much shitty kids music right now. I mean, it's just. There's this song, do you like spaghetti? And then you respond, yes, I do. Do you like. And then the next sprint, like, ice cream. Yes, I do. Do you like spaghetti ice cream? Like, no, Yucky. Anyway, the song. At one point they say, do you like juice? But in my ears all I hear is, do you like Jews? And I feel like they could have done another pass on the edit, because it really sounds. Do you like Jews?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Do you like Jews?
Daniel Tosh
Okay. Sorry about that. But that's just to contradict your. What you listen to most.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
What about you? Do you like music in general?
Daniel Tosh
Yeah.
Eddie (Co-host)
No.
Daniel Tosh
Yes. I mean, I don't. I'm ignorant to it, and I, you know, I like the best of genres. You know, one time, my friend who's really into jazz, Greg Hahn, he's a comedian, a good friend of mine, he plays the drums, and he's real into jazz music. And he would always bring me to these jazz clubs in Los Angeles, and he goes, that guy right there is the greatest drummer in the world. And then I'd watch this guy, and he was amazing. And then after the show, I'd see him standing there, like, barking to sell his CDs, and I'm like, oh, it's so depressing in the jazz world. The best of the best in the whole world is, like, still trying to make a buck because he's not, you know, some pop star making a bazillion dollars. Yeah, that story doesn't really matter about anything, but I used to go to jazz clubs all the time, and I would. And I would appreciate it, but I knew that it was, like. It was beyond me. I was just more there just for the social experiment of it all.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, but nothing is wrong with that. People are not supposed to have to dig and dig and dig and spend their whole lives digging to find some kind of nuanced music that makes you better than other people. You know what I mean? It's like people are exposed to just kind of what they are exposed to. And I decided that I wanted to be a part of that, which is why I stopped being a jazz snob, you know? So it does actually kind of tie into that a little bit, at least.
Daniel Tosh
Who are your influences?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You know, I grew up listening to Daft Punk. Charlie Parker was a huge one. Even though it's, like, cliche to say Charlie Parker. I listened to a lot of John Coltrane. It was very spiritual stuff when it comes to saxophone. And then I got. I started getting more into, like, Big Gigantic, Grizz Sew down those people in the saxophone world. I feel a little bit guilty because I just feel like I'm, you know, sometimes that I'm, like, maybe riding their coattails because they've done such a good job of doing things before me with the saxophone and electronic music.
Daniel Tosh
Now, when did you decide to pivot from jazz, which, you know, in some circles is considered terrible, to rave music, which is Equally terrible, but completely different.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, maybe about 10 years ago, I started making electronic music, But I will say I grew up listening to Daft Punk, like, on repeat.
Daniel Tosh
Okay, But Daft Punk is kind of the exception, not the rule. Would you agree with that?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
I would agree with that. But it's a four on the floor kick, and it's got the synthesizers, the acid base, the, like, the feeling, and. And, like, at least I could. I dug onto that super hard and was like, this is actually genuine for me. Like, I really love this. And this is gonna be the way that I connect with myself and connect with other people by making electronic music. And it's only grown from there, you know?
Daniel Tosh
How come so many people in the electronic music industry, the artist hide their identity?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
I would say because it's not about the ego of the artist, or at least it shouldn't be. You know, it should be about the audience. If you go to a show and the crowd is dead, then the show doesn't have that, like, electric energy to it. And that's an example for me of why the show is about the connection between the music, the crowd, the production, everything like that. When the crowd is, like, super into it, it's just a magical experience. I do feel a little bit weird about crowds, like, worshiping people or worshiping one person, because I feel like we're all kind of equal. You know what I mean?
Daniel Tosh
I don't like that. I think the person that's performing should be put on a pedestal personally.
Eddie (Co-host)
Agreed.
Daniel Tosh
Right. Thank you. Eddie, how long do your performances typically last and describe a Sasquatch show?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
For me, about an hour. What I think I love about the show is there's so many things, but the tempos of the songs change drastically throughout the set without it being jarring. So it starts off like we got, like, swampy tempos, people clapping. We do big foot calls at the shows. We got the lasers, we got visuals.
Daniel Tosh
You're singing live throughout all of this.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
I'm singing live. Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
But is it every. Every song has a live singing element or.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
No, no, probably. Probably like five. Five songs or something like that.
Daniel Tosh
Is there pyro? Have you ever considered. Or is your hair a liability for pyro?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
The hair is a liability. I've been way too scared for pyro. But there's cryo. There's the CO2. The smoke. Yeah. That shoots up. I love that. You know, when it goes. And then the lasers hit, and it's just like the whole audience when they go, oh, you know, it feels so good. You know, when the audience is so loud that you, like, feel it in your bones and you're like, oh, man. Like, if I ever.
Daniel Tosh
I'm not a performer that gets that type of reaction from the audience, I get, you know, some laughter and some, you know, clapping. I've never had people going crazy. This is a different level of energy that I'm foreign to when the whole.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Like, theater is just, like, roaring from laughter.
Daniel Tosh
They're not roaring. Okay. They're mildly amused.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Daniel Tosh
But that's me. So you're. Listen, you're doing good. Do you ever have bad shows?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Oh, yes. Bad shows. Bad shows.
Daniel Tosh
Is it ever your fault, or is it, like, because I understand technical difficulties and that. I'll be honest with you, that doesn't seem like that's really your fault for the show being bad. But have you ever just been like, oh, that just didn't go well?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
There have been times where it's just like, hey, man, that was a boring set. You know, like, oh, yeah, like maybe four or five years ago, it was like, oh, yeah, that was cool for 10 minutes. And then I got bored, and it was like, oh, man, that hurts so bad. You know, as someone who grew up not really being believed in, it really, like, pushes a button.
Daniel Tosh
You have a license for your laser show? You're telling me every DJ with a laser rig has passed some sort of test?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Either they've passed a test, or the person who's running the lasers has passed the test. So it's really cool. And I have all these buttons on the table that look like. They have these red buttons that look like I'm, you know, like, dropping bombs or something.
Daniel Tosh
Okay.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You know, it's pretty sweet.
Daniel Tosh
Can you kill anyone with these lasers?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
It depends on where exactly you shoot the laser.
Daniel Tosh
Have you ever considered not letting the beat drop? Yeah, Wouldn't that be a fun concert? He refused to drop the beat. It just kept building for hours, and then he just left. That would let. Oh, man. Talk about maybe creating a. And just say, hey, come back next concert, and maybe I drop the beat. Just an idea. What is a test for the laser?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You have to get a certification. It's basically an online. Depends on how you do it. But the paperwork for lasers is pretty much outdated to the 1950s. It has not been changed.
Daniel Tosh
Were there lasers in the 50s?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
There were these giant tube lasers that were, like, these huge tube lasers. They haven't changed the rules since it's fda, so the Food Drug Administration is the one giving this test. Was it hard it's not that hard, honestly.
Daniel Tosh
How long is it good for? Do you have to re up it every year?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, you have to re up it every year.
Daniel Tosh
Whoa. Yeah, it's probably lasers. Probably has to do with, like, something to do with the planes, right? You can't. You can't shoot them at in outside concerts. You can't point them at planes or anything or people.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You can't point them at people at the show.
Daniel Tosh
All right, so you can do some damage. That's exciting. Will trump selling off America's parks hurt or help you?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Oh, yeah, hurt. That's a hurt. I like to make my videos in the parks. The parks are beautiful, and I'm not supposed to make videos in the parks.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, is that actually technically a no?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
No, it's technically a no. No. I've done some live streaming in, like, Olympic national park, and I don't think you're supposed to play loud instruments, but I was there first, I think.
Daniel Tosh
When did you post your first video?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Oh, that's a good question. Maybe 2018. 2018? Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
That's not that long ago.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, not. Not too long. Wait, wait.
Daniel Tosh
You're one of the rare people that. That. That were featured on my old show, Tosh Point. Oh, what year was that?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Maybe 2019. Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
So were you surprised that one of your videos already had hit that mainstream level?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yes. But I will say, the way that I kind of started out making videos to post online, I never really expected to be a professional with it, if that makes sense. I was just doing it because I wanted Sasquatch to be a thing that helps people in the world. And so I was. I was making videos for a really long time. I mean, a really long time. Like. Like. Like six to nine months, like, every day, obsessing, trying to make it a thing just for the sake of it being in the world. And it never took off until I just kept pushing. And then one day it did. When it did, it's like, well, I've been trying really hard for a long time. Like, I've kind of broke my back over this, and I was really happy, you know?
Daniel Tosh
So you weren't upset with us for putting your video on now, were you? Upset because you were playing music? And we, of course, can never afford music, so we have to strip your music off and then dub in really bad library music. Did that upset you?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You know, it was decent. I totally understood what happened. You had to replace the music because I was playing a cover song.
Daniel Tosh
Okay.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
But all my friends were like, dude, you're on tosh0 I was like, no way. You know, I'm like such a huge fan. You know, it's pretty sweet.
Daniel Tosh
You make a lot of your performance videos out in the woods. Are you ever worried about hunters?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You know, I've decided if that's how I go out, it's how I go out, you know.
Daniel Tosh
Oh man.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
And even to take that and put it in the realm of failing at music, if I were to not get any more good opportunities or anything and just end up in the corner of a bar somewhere playing saxophone until I eventually leave this earth, then I'll be okay with that.
Daniel Tosh
That's music to my ears right there. How many shows are you doing a year now?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
It's not too bad. Maybe like 65, 70 shows. So I'm not on the road like my entire life.
Daniel Tosh
Would you want to do more?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Actually no, I think that's the sweet spot for me. It's like, it's like 65. Quality over quantity. You know, make sure that we got lasers at the shows, that we got, you know, awesome production and stuff like that.
Daniel Tosh
I agree with that. You know, I always thought, oh, if I could make X amount of dollars, I would scale back the amount of shows I did. But instead you make more money and you get greedy and you're like, no, I'll just keep doing the same amount of shows, you know, huge numbers.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
And it wasn't until recently that I just finally was like, knock it off. Let's just. Let's just go way back and do seven shows a year. Is that my new philosophy? Eddie? Eddie yells at me all the time because he wants me to work a little more. He gets a little taste of that action, but man, it's tough to get me out of bed. By the way, how do you sleep? Are you a back sleeper or do you prefer your stomach or side?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
The side.
Daniel Tosh
You prefer side?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Daniel Tosh
Are you a good sleeper?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Not really. Tossing and turning.
Daniel Tosh
What time do you normally go to bed at night?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Well, so I have a little Squatch at home. Baby Sack Squatch?
Daniel Tosh
You got a kid?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah. Yeah. He's almost four. Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
Holy cow. Nobody even told me that.
Eddie (Co-host)
Didn't know it.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
You got a four year old running around.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah. And so when I'm home, it's like he wakes up at, you know, 6:30. And I'm waking up at 6:30. I have to go to bed at like 9:30.
Daniel Tosh
Not if you're having a show on the road.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
It's like the show starts at like, you know, 11 or midnight or, you know, maybe 1am West coast time. And I'm on the east coast, you know, so. So the sleep schedule is going back and forth.
Daniel Tosh
Does he know what daddy's doing at night?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, he does. He's seen, he sees videos and stuff like that. He loves it.
Daniel Tosh
He's.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
He, he sings my own songs to me. It's so sweet.
Daniel Tosh
Are you worried about him being hunted?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
No, I keep him kind of off the radar.
Daniel Tosh
Sure. Yeah, that's. That's every father's worst nightmare, kid getting hunted. Is your little four year old getting hunted? That is definitely every father's nightmare, by the way. Do you just. And I'm. I mean this, I, I don't want to disrespect you, honestly, but do you stink to high heavens after a concert?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You know, I think everybody stinks a little bit, you know.
Daniel Tosh
Great.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
And that's beautiful.
Daniel Tosh
You've got, you've got quite a bit of hair and that. I'm. I'm just guessing that builds some.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Some must, you know, Some people like it, some people don't like it. But you know, I have to smell some crazy must actually in the crowd. I, I'm not even kidding.
Daniel Tosh
Oof.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
There was this show we did the other day, it was a lot of elderly. And when I was in the audience, I went down to kind of play for the audience. You know, I say don't touch me before I go down there.
Daniel Tosh
And do they listen to that?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Actually, no, they don't, but they generally do better than if I didn't say it, which is why I say it. And some of the smells that I've smelled personally are unbelievable. My eyes are watering under the sunglasses.
Daniel Tosh
Are you litigious? Will you sue these people?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You know, it's happened and you know how that is as a performer. You can't do anything. You got to just take it.
Daniel Tosh
No, I fucking. I'll slam the brakes on the show and walk. I don't care at all. I could care less.
Eddie (Co-host)
He's not dropping.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, yeah, I'll leave. You're not getting your money back. But that's me, you know, I'm not looking for repeat business. That's why I'm performing in some really bizarre places lately. You said older fans are sexualize you. Is that fair?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Oh, yes, yes. Well, because Sasquatch culture was particularly huge in the United states in the 70s with the Patterson Grimlund film, with the Sasquatch looking back in the. In California. And you know, there are all these articles coming out about, oh, I had bigfoot's baby. And there would be like a hairy baby, you know, on the COVID of a newspaper. There are ways to just be really engulfed in the culture. And so those same women are still alive and messaging me.
Daniel Tosh
But they're just old.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Not just old, but they're more than that. They're frisky.
Daniel Tosh
You ever cross that line? How is your sax life? That was a freebie.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
I'm dating a girl right now. Her name is Thickfoot.
Daniel Tosh
Thickfoot. Oh, that is a unfortunate nickname for a girl, but, eh, Thickfoot. I'm gonna start calling my wife Thickfoot. See how that flies.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
Do you prefer the phrase Bigfoot sighting or Bigfoot spotting? Because the word spotting in the context of my wife's cycle has always made me gag.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, yeah. Sighting is. Is. Is definitely an alluring word.
Daniel Tosh
Sighting.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Let's go with that.
Daniel Tosh
Did you ever get a taste of that National Enquirer money? Because for all these years, they were really profiting off you.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
And even the people who like finding Bigfoot, you know, they've had 11 seasons of an amazing TV show.
Daniel Tosh
Are you serious? There's 11 seasons of that? Nonsense. If you watch past one episode. Is it really a good show?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
It's a great show. Listen. No, it's a good show.
Daniel Tosh
Even if they were paying you, I wouldn't let you say that.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
No, then they're not, and they're not. I love the show so much. They do Bigfoot calls. They have the best Bigfoot hunting equipment. It's extremely entertaining to watch them try to catch Bigfoot. I'm friends with Cliff, you know, in real life, I'm finding Bigfoot I like.
Daniel Tosh
Well, of course, you're a big celebrity. And why wouldn't he.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
He comes to the shows.
Daniel Tosh
Give me a Bigfoot call. What's a Bigfoot call sound like? I don't even know this.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You know, like a whoop. Like a.
Daniel Tosh
Like a whoop, whoop. That's how you call Bigfoot?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
Sounds like. Sounds like Insane Clown Posse.
Eddie (Co-host)
Juggalos are showing up.
Daniel Tosh
Sound like the Juggalos in here.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Well, they actually took it. They. Oh, you're going to.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, now, those are fighting words, okay? Because I know. Icp.
Eddie (Co-host)
Yeah, the Juggalos and the Juggles.
Daniel Tosh
Let me tell. I'm gonna tell all the Juggalos out there right now, okay, Put down your faygo. We're going to war. How do you get booked at a music festival? They just find you in the woods.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
I would say, like, selling tickets. If you can sell tickets, then the music festivals will Be interested.
Daniel Tosh
What. What's your. What's your favorite music festival that you've performed at?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Oh, man. Recently? It has to be Electric Forest. So sick. And the trees are like these. A bunch of these really tall, thin, swaying trees that are close together. I can't even.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, so you're performing for trees, not humans. Oh, that explains some of this.
Eddie (Co-host)
The tree stone.
Daniel Tosh
All right, now. No, this is just an outdoor venue in the woods in Michigan.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You have no idea how magical this place is. It's absolutely mind blowing.
Daniel Tosh
Okay, my next question is obvious. Drugs. Doing drugs?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
I don't do drugs.
Daniel Tosh
None.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
I don't do drugs.
Daniel Tosh
What about mushrooms?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
No. Shrooms.
Daniel Tosh
Have you ever done mushrooms?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yes, yes, yes. I've tried it. And I've realized in order to convey the message and show up to shows that I need to not do that stuff.
Daniel Tosh
Okay, but you also feel like you had to have tried it so that you can speak from experience so you can see all that stuff. Crystal meth. You ever tried it?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah, you know what? No, not on the. Not on the crystal.
Daniel Tosh
Nothing. Okay, that's good. That's good. We want you to live a long time. How's your health?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
My health is better than ever, Daniel. It's better than ever. I've been, you know, making efforts to eat more. More fruit, blueberries, nuts, stuff like that. You know, my rider is, like, super healthy. You know. What's your rider like?
Daniel Tosh
Simple. You know why my rider's simple? Now, I've told this story before. I'll tell it again. My rider is simple because we, the artist, are paying for it. So why am I going to put something extravagant in your people that say, oh, can you believe they asked for all this stuff? It's like, yeah, I can believe it. They're idiots. They're having to pay for it. That's a line item in your contract. You're paying for it unless you're getting a flat fee for a casino show, then go crazy with your rider. But normally I have a couple bottles of water, a little bit of hummus, and a veggie tray. The end.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah. Have you ever gotten, like, hummus but no pita chips or pita chips but no hummus?
Daniel Tosh
No, I always get pita chips. I always get pita chips. What kind of.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Well, one time we got.
Daniel Tosh
Cause you know, I'll flip a goddamn table if there's nothing to dip it in.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
We've gotten just hummus before, and we've had to use strange things to. In order to use the hummus. You know, it's that?
Daniel Tosh
That. I don't know if it's racist, if that's the term, but I don't know what they were thinking, how you were supposed to eat it. Everyone on the show gets a gift. I just take stuff from my house that I think you might like, and I give it to you. So for you, here's what I got you. First, just a nice throw blanket for when you're out in the woods. Yeah, it's nice. I honestly, I don't think it's ever been used, but I love this. I don't like it, so it's yours. Now, the other thing I got you, it's for two. A hammock.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Oh, wow. I love hammocks.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, I figure. I figured you could rest and occasionally. There. You got you a hammock.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Oh, I love that.
Daniel Tosh
Now that has been. I have used that. The reason I'm giving away is I don't have two trees within the appropriate distance.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
So you'll figure that out.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Beautiful. I think we have a gift for you.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, no, that's. That is not necessary. Can you get that on the floor? Just throw that on the floor. Both of those is fine. Just drop them. You can just. Thank you so much.
Eddie (Co-host)
Here comes a live salmon.
Daniel Tosh
Don't do this.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Give him the. Give him the. The rock.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, God damn it. You're giving me a rock?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
This is from the Ozarks. We got this this weekend.
Daniel Tosh
What?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Oh, man.
Daniel Tosh
Let me see this.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
That's pretty sweet.
Daniel Tosh
That's actually beautiful. Okay. Okay. I'll tell you. My son and I go crystal hunting all the time. This right here is beautiful. You got this from the Ozarks?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
You ever been to the Ozarks, Ed?
Eddie (Co-host)
Yep.
Daniel Tosh
What type of rock is this?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
It's a geode, basically. Mm. Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
That's nice. Well, I can't wait to take that home. Your folks, how do they wrap their head around all of this?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
My folks have been generally really supportive, although it's taking a lot of convincing. I come from a musical family. My. My grandfather was gigfoot. You know, he played guitar. Gigfoot?
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. No, no, I mean, sounds good.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
He was on Lawrence Welk show back in the day.
Eddie (Co-host)
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
That's why I missed that one. That's great.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
And my sister. Big flute. Oh, yeah, Yeah.
Daniel Tosh
I don't like a flute. Does anyone really like a flute? Oh, you know what? I want to go home today and listen to some good. Some flute music.
Eddie (Co-host)
Flute music.
Daniel Tosh
Lisa Simpson. Yeah, go ahead. You a fan?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Huge fan. Genius player.
Daniel Tosh
All right. F. Marry Kill Lisa Simpson, Bill Clinton.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Kenny G. I'm gonna kill Bill because it rhymes. Marry Lisa and do the dirty with Kenny.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, that's the right pick. I think he's right the whole way across.
Eddie (Co-host)
You got it.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You're like, okay.
Daniel Tosh
I think he answered that right.
Eddie (Co-host)
No notes.
Daniel Tosh
By the way, Kenny, he lives down the street from me and just when I see him, I just laugh. He's just a good. He's just always happy. He's got another little kid too, this kid. I'm like, how old are you? I don't even ask that question, but I know the answer. I can look it up. But he's got another little one. He's always happy. Good for him. Do you like Kenny G's music?
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
You know, I always have. Even when I was a jazz snob, I loved Kenny G. That's interesting because.
Daniel Tosh
I would think he wouldn't pass the jazz snob test.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
If it sounds good, then it's good.
Daniel Tosh
I feel bad making you hold the sax the whole interview and I haven't even asked you to play. So go ahead and let that baby loose. Okay, time for our weekly stand up comedy wrap up.
Alex (Co-host)
Alex. I didn't get to any stage shows, but I did switch to T Mobile with their new family freedom offer.
Daniel Tosh
Okay, I'm waiting for the punchline.
Alex (Co-host)
Well, my old phone bill with AT&T was a joke, so I'm doing a whole new bit with T Mobile. They paid off my family's four phones up to $3200 and gave us four new phones on the house.
Daniel Tosh
I gotta work this into my routine.

Daniel Tosh
I want to thank Sack Squatch for being on the show. I also want to thank him for not hurting Carl. Carl did not like that. Spent the whole interview hiding in the corner. Did I mention that we signed with Lipson? By the way, this isn't our first episode with Lipson either. This is our second episode. This is episode two. I'm sure Lipson was listening to episode one going, huh? He didn't mention us at all. But now in episode two, they're probably like, whoa.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
He talks a lot.
Daniel Tosh
What did we get ourselves into? I did say that Lipson was going to change a few things on the show. I didn't mention all the things. Did you know that they're going to make Eddie into a black person?
Eddie (Co-host)
You go, it's happening.
Daniel Tosh
A lot of people thought he was black at Iheart, but now that Lipson's at the wheel, Eddie is black.
Eddie (Co-host)
Okay, what's up, everybody?
Daniel Tosh
Also, the show will be in Spanish. Love it or hate it. Do we do any plugs? Is Lipson allowing us to plug? Oh, yeah. Okay, there's hearing. Yes. All right. Tossshowstore.com Check out our merch. We got Eddie's tour. Eddie's doing some stand up dates and I'm doing some stand up dates. I'm going to do a lot more. I got a hunch that I'm going to be doing a lot more dates. Got some Vegas dates coming up. Thanksgiving, got a little tour coming up. Here's an update on my wife's cousin Amanda who lives with us. And I'm going to be setting up with someone on the reality show that currently lives here on Tosh show. We put up a phone number. You feel free if you. By the way, it's probably not going to be one of our listeners. You need to pass this on to somebody that's better than you and have them call because we're getting voicemails. But I don't know how promising some of these leads are. You got one for me, Eddie?
Eddie (Co-host)
Yeah, let's hear one.
Voicemail Callers
Hey, what's up? I'm Bill 37. I'm a control systems engineer. 5:10, over £300.
Daniel Tosh
Whoa.
Voicemail Callers
I rode a horse once and I voted not for Trump.
Daniel Tosh
Okay, that does not sound like a 37 year old. That's the first thing. He sounds every bit of 300. He said he ate a horse once.
Eddie (Co-host)
I mean, you said he rode.
Daniel Tosh
He rode a horse, he hurt a horse.
Eddie (Co-host)
Sounds like he's.
Daniel Tosh
Sounds like he broke a horse. He said over 300. So if you're 303, you're not saying over 300. He's well over 300.
Eddie (Co-host)
A lot of numbers over 300.
Daniel Tosh
You're saying he could be 500.
Eddie (Co-host)
Could be. It's over 300.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. Infinite if you weigh 500. That's, that's interesting just to say, oh, I'm over 300.
Eddie (Co-host)
It's like, what a, what a shock when you see the, that big load Walking.
Daniel Tosh
Okay. Okay. So it's 37. He didn't vote for Trump. That's nice. But he's. I don't. I don't know. That doesn't sound good. Yeah, Bill's not going to make it to the next round.
Eddie (Co-host)
Thanks for calling.
Daniel Tosh
Thank you for calling, though, Bill. Anybody else call? Yep.
Voicemail Callers
Actually, I'm calling for Eddie. Eddie, it's Hutch. We met in Indy. I would like to be. To submit my own name. 64 years old, been married twice, got two kids. Five foot, £880, retired, don't know shit about horses. But, hey, I would be fun to hang out with. Hope you guys are well.
Daniel Tosh
Is that person calling for you?
Eddie (Co-host)
I think he's calling to. I did meet him in Indianapolis after the show.
Daniel Tosh
You know who that is?
Eddie (Co-host)
I know Hutch.
Daniel Tosh
He.
Eddie (Co-host)
He. He communicates sometimes through my website.
Daniel Tosh
You talk to fans?
Eddie (Co-host)
I do. I went out.
Daniel Tosh
What the is wrong with you?
Eddie (Co-host)
I'm just.
Daniel Tosh
Why would you talk. So you. So Hutch is calling you on our number. But. But he's submitting himself to be a family member of my. First of all, I said I didn't want anybody married. He's been. Hutch has been married twice.
Eddie (Co-host)
Twice.
Daniel Tosh
He sounds like a nice guy. 64. I mean, listen, can you verify that he was five' eight and 180 pounds?
Eddie (Co-host)
Yeah. Verification.
Daniel Tosh
Okay.
Eddie (Co-host)
He actually called back.
Daniel Tosh
No, Hutch called back again, left another voicemail. Let me hear Hutch's next call.
Voicemail Callers
Eddie, Hutch again. I just saw the picture of her with the swollen eye. That's a hard pass for me. Sorry.
Daniel Tosh
I told you, she has this eye thing that happens, like, six times a year, like, just for a day. And then this is an allergic reaction. Okay, but that's good. So Hutch. Hutch withdrew himself. I was coming around on Hutch, even though he'd been married twice, which I think is a deal breaker. He's five' eight, which is a deal breaker. And he's old as fuck. No. All right. Hutch is out, but I'm glad to know that you perform with me. And then after the shows, you meet these people that went to the show, and you become lifelong friends.
Eddie (Co-host)
We go out. We do ghost tours through the cities. It's.
Daniel Tosh
Eddie lives my nightmare.
Eddie (Co-host)
It really is. We couldn't be more different.
Sasquatch (Guest Musician)
Couldn't be more different.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. Well, okay, listen. Every week I'll check in, and until we find the right guy, that Hutch and Bill, that we're not starting out very strong. If those are our first two applicants, we. Amanda might get depressed.
Eddie (Co-host)
We're going to build momentum, though.
Daniel Tosh
Okay. All right.
Eddie (Co-host)
Call the number, guys.
Daniel Tosh
We'll see you next week.

True to Tosh’s style, the conversation is loaded with dry humor, absurd scenarios, sharp observations, and authentic curiosity. Saxsquatch is both a straight man and a self-aware myth, giving listeners a behind-the-curtain look at what it means to blend online persona, music, and real life without ever breaking character. The back-and-forth is playful but sincere, making it one of the more engaging and unusual Tosh Show interviews to date.
