[Daniel Tosh]

After two amazing shows in Akron, we do the short drive over to Toledo, and when I woke up on the bus and I looked out my windows, one side of me was an Outback steakhouse, and the other side of me was a Longhorn steakhouse. And I was like, this is perfect. Posh show. Posh show. Tosh show for show. It's that time. Welcome to Tosh Show. I am your host, comedian Daniel Dwight Tosh. With me is comedian Eddie Dwight Gosling.

[Eddie Gosling]

Crazy. We got the same middle name.

[Daniel Tosh]

Same middle name. We just got back from Tour. We did 16 shows, 11 days, 11 cities. Man, it was fun. Good times were had by all right? The hijinks, so much hijinks, so much online gambling. I tell you what, I know people always. I'll hear that people complain about the commercials on the show, like, oh, quit shilling for these. These gambling companies, because it creates such a problem for people. But I never really think about it because as godless as everyone pretends California is, we don't allow those. You can't do any, like, online gambling. There's no sports betting in this state. But, like, when you go to all these, you know, red states, you can do whatever you want. I mean, there's just so much.

[Eddie Gosling]

It's wild.

[Daniel Tosh]

You just get on your app and all of a sudden I've got a guy throwing cards at me. I'm like, I don't have my glasses and I'm taking a dump, and I've got to make sure that I got the flush, but I can't tell the difference between a club and a spade. And I'm Like, I'm all in. Next thing I know, I'm like, I just lost a thousand dollars on this dump. Anyway, that was very. That was a, A nice surprise that while I was in the Midwest, I could do so much online gambling. I may have a problem, but I came out ahead, so it's hard to. It's hard to complain about it. All right, so here's what we're new. We're going to go through the tour and we're going to read from a fan from each city. And then I'll tell you a little bit about, you know, each town that we went to. Night one, we were in Ames, Iowa. We fly into Ames. Our tour bus is there. And our bus driver, Charles, who is just a delight.

[Eddie Gosling]

He's great.

[Daniel Tosh]

One of the few, few bus drivers I've ever developed an actual relationship with.

[Eddie Gosling]

I know, it's great.

[Daniel Tosh]

Our bus was brand new. I was the first person to sleep in it. I showered in it, and spoiler alert, never pooped in it. That doesn't mean I didn't have close calls. But I. I always made it to the hotel room. Sometimes just barely, but you made it. But I made it. There you go. Sometimes I had, you know, occasionally you'd have to do a lobby dump. But other than that, all's well. We land. He drives us to the venue, we walk around the school, we do the show. He likes to drive at night. I like to, you know, the second I get off stage, get back in the bus and go to the next city. That way I wake up in the next city and I can just enjoy it from. From wake up. So we didn't get to spend much time in Ames, but I. I get it.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

The college was. The college was nice. Iowa State Cyclone.

[Eddie Gosling]

Cyclone.

[Daniel Tosh]

And then we had the conversation, Eddie. We were like, are cyclones the same thing as tornadoes? And then you said, yes. And I'm like, well, then why wouldn't you just be called tornadoes, right? And there was twisters, and there's twist. Are twisters cyclones and tornadoes all the same thing?

[Eddie Gosling]

We never found out.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, the football facility was nice. We walked around, we saw a bunch of monsters practicing. Here's what we learned while at Iowa State University. This is where Rice Krispie treats were invented. Some co EDS were working at Kellogg's and they came up with a recipe. They gave me a nice tray with. With a little backstory of how Rice Krispie treats were invented, which I found completely interesting.

[Eddie Gosling]

Right.

[Daniel Tosh]

Here's the thing. You might not know this. I love Rice Krispie treats.

[Eddie Gosling]

I didn't know that.

[Daniel Tosh]

I do. I love them. You ever go to like grocery stores now, like, like kind of the fancy grocery store, and they'll have like a big huge Rice Krispie treat, shrink wrapped. And it's. And you're like, it's 9 95. And you're like, who the fuck is spending nine bucks? You, you could buy, you know, ten pans worth if you just bought the ingredients. But I'm the one buying it.

[Eddie Gosling]

You get it.

[Daniel Tosh]

And sometimes they have like some that are drizzled with dark chocolate over it or little tiny M and Ms. In it. I love all of them. Here we have the original recipe. They've given me a whole platter of Rice Krispie treats. I bite into the first one and that was it. I throw em all away. You could have told me that this was a rice cake. It was so dry. It wasn't dense enough. It was like just so light and there wasn't enough marshmallow. And if this was the original recipe, you have to understand when things were invented before fun or taste like. I get it.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yes.

[Daniel Tosh]

But you got to evolve the recipe. Yeah, let's go. Let's get some more sugar in this thing. So they were awful. But thank you for making them for me and thank you for, you know, the information because I did not know that that's where Rice Krispie treats came from. All right, what do you got?

[Eddie Gosling]

Okay. My fiance bought us tickets to Ames, Iowa last week for my birthday today. And it was great show. Eddie was looking mad sexy.

[Daniel Tosh]

Whoa. I see why you picked that one. Yeah, you were looking mad. You probably were looking mad sexy because it's night one, night one. So night one is the night to look sexy. So we leave Ames, Iowa to head to Davenport. Now, if you know Davenport is one of four of the Quad Cities. Now, I know what you're thinking. Quad City DJs are from there. That's the first thing I asked. Turns out they're not.

[Eddie Gosling]

Right?

[Daniel Tosh]

Anyway, we're in the Quad Cities, Davenport. I wake up, I look on my phone, I find that there's this coffee shop nearby that has a delicious breakfast sandwich. This restaurant or coffee shop, you go in, there's signs in there. You are not allowed to eat your food inside. And I'm like, this is what I like. Yeah, this is. I like coming to a town that I don't have a lot of history in and probably have some preconceived ideas of, of what life is like there. And I go into this highly Rated coffee shop to get a breakfast sandwich that everyone talks about. And there's. You can't eat it inside the restaurant.

[Eddie Gosling]

That's great. All right. They get rules.

[Daniel Tosh]

Kudos to them for having a restaurant that they won't let you eat in. It was amazing. Yeah.

[Eddie Gosling]

You loved it.

[Daniel Tosh]

The breakfast sandwich was amazing. They make their bread in house. There was a. I got a scone. The scone was amazing. Red Band Coffee Company. Good. Our hotel has a bowling alley and a decent gym. I worked out 10 of the 11 days I was gone.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Ran way too far, way too too long. Every day I was just like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna fight off these rich meals that we have at night. Anyway, they opened the bowling alley for us. Pete's like, the bowling Alley opens at 5 o'. Clock. We won't have time before a show. I'm like, it's. It's lunchtime. I go, pete, what are you doing? We're in Quad Cities. Ask him if they'll open the bowling alley for me. I'm not above that. I mean, I don't care if they say no. He's like, hey, Daniel, Tosh wants to know if you want to open bowling. Yeah, we're fans. They opened it up. We got to bowl one game. Now Eddie is a bowler, or claims to be, but was bowling like, shit, If I'm being honest, I like to bowl. Pete was bowling well. But Pete does this thing where he's like, I got to get to soundcheck. And I'm like, be five minutes late to sound check. I gotta get to sound check. So he quits after seven or eight frames. And then one of you, Eddie or Charles, finishes up his. He was in the lead. And I ended up winning with a score of. Let me start with Dylan. And then I'm gonna go to John. I won. I beat four people. Two people can bowl. What do you think my score was? My winning score? Dylan, what do you think it was? 140. Okay. 225. What?

[Eddie Gosling]

225.

[Daniel Tosh]

Did he say 225? Yeah.

[Eddie Gosling]

John's in love with you.

[Daniel Tosh]

Let me. Okay. If you really believe that my winning score is 225, I wouldn't be a comedian, he'd be on the tour. I believe in you, Daniel tosh.

[Eddie Gosling]

You're like Dr. Scholl, spokesperson.

[Daniel Tosh]

First of all, the whole time I'm like, there's no 10 pound balls that my fingers can fit in. So I have to get a 13 pound ball just so that my thumb can fit. But see, some of these guys don't put their thumbs in. They spin. Pete spins, Eddie can spin. I don't spin. I just go straight and fast. I'm retracting my answer. 95. Okay. I won with a 118.

[Eddie Gosling]

Hello?

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay. All right, then. We had our shows in Davenport. We have anybody write into us?

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah, we got a couple.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay. Oh, let's hear it.

[Eddie Gosling]

Hello. I'm sitting in the audience before your show and I would like the link to your playlist. The covers. Thank you.

[Daniel Tosh]

All right, first of all, you're in my show. Put your phone away. Enjoy it. Yeah, no, I. I created my own playlist. It's basically just kind of all folksy acoustic covers of, you know, nostalgic dirty hip hop.

[Eddie Gosling]

People like it.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, some people do, some people hate it, but I don't care either way. Here's my thinking, why I went with this playlist or why I created this playlist. It's soft and it's not. You know, you can still have your conversations pre show. You're not overwhelmed. But then if you're just sitting there listening, all of a sudden, you know the words to every single thing that's being played. And some. It's fun when you know the words to everything.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

And then you're like, oh, wow, are we singing about pussy right now? That's like. It seems inappropriate.

[Eddie Gosling]

Soft tones.

[Daniel Tosh]

Anyway, so. No, it's. I don't. There's no link to the playlist. It's just. I created it. What? You said you had two.

[Eddie Gosling]

You got another one.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah. What's this one?

[Eddie Gosling]

This one? Subject line. Impressed with how fast you had the wheels rolling on your bus. Just saw you guys in Quad Cities. I enjoy the absolute disdain you showed for your audience.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean. Yeah, you're reading into it a little bit. I didn't have disdain. I never have disdain on night two of the tour.

[Eddie Gosling]

Pretty fresh.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah. I mean, I might have been teasing the city a little bit, but they deserve it. And besides, I'm not making fun of Davenport. I'm making fun of Moline. But that's what I do. We end the show and I sprint from the stage. There's no going back, no encore, no curtain call. I just. I say goodnight after about an hour and 20 something minutes on stage, and I run to the bus and Charles drives me to the next place.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yep.

[Daniel Tosh]

And we do it all over again. The next morning, we were head. We had to head to Peoria, which, by the way. Whoa. You know.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah, there you go. Should be on the sign when you drive in.

[Daniel Tosh]

Oh, nice. By the way, downtown Peoria. During. During the week. This was a weekday, right? Zero people.

[Eddie Gosling]

It's crazy.

[Daniel Tosh]

Zero cars, zero people. Just. Yeah, I guess everybody just, I don't know, work from home Thursdays. I don't know what it was.

[Eddie Gosling]

You and me were the foot traffic. That was it.

[Daniel Tosh]

The problem with this time of year is the weather. One day was 75 and like just humid and the next day was 26. Peoria was cold and. And I went for a long walk. I went by the Caterpillar Museum and I went and had a breakfast by myself because Eddie will sleep till 11 like some fucking college sophomore, which I. My body just doesn't. I just 6:37. No matter what, I'm waking up anyway, I got up, I went for a long walk, got breakfast, way too rich. It was at a bakery. It was nice. On the way back I was like, oh, I'm going to walk by the water a little bit. You know, there's a river there. I don't know which one it is. Doesn't matter. All of a sudden my stomach was like, oh. So I started doing the hustle back, but it was so cold that I think my body was like, yeah, right. I'm not gonna do you dirty here. Although it wouldn't have mattered that much. You wouldn't have noticed. I mean, Peoria is nice. It's just. It's not a pretty time of year to be anywhere.

[Eddie Gosling]

Right?

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, here it's beautiful, but you get it.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah. So it wasn't pretty and it was cold and I was hustling back to the. We went for a walk, but we walked past the Richard Pryor.

[Eddie Gosling]

Right. Statue.

[Daniel Tosh]

Statue. And his placement of a statue is unimpressive.

[Eddie Gosling]

It seems like a bad area.

[Daniel Tosh]

Put it in a park or by. Down by the water or something. Not just. It's just on an intersection really was.

[Eddie Gosling]

It's just like, oh, there it is. You walk right up on it.

[Daniel Tosh]

All right, what do you got for us from Peoria?

[Eddie Gosling]

Thinking about bringing my son Friday and I was curious if there was an age limit at the show. Can you let me know, please? Bob Flood.

[Daniel Tosh]

It is funny to ask me how old, like if that's how he thinks he should figure out if he should bring his son.

[Eddie Gosling]

Just reach out to the entertainer.

[Daniel Tosh]

Right? Like if you're going to go see a movie, do you call hey, Will Ferrell, you think my 12 year old will enjoy this? And he'd probably write back. I believe they would I don't know. I think you should be at least 16.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

To see my show. I don't know. Whatever. Call the place if they let you in and you want to bring your kid. I find it very uncomfortable when a young person is in my sight line. Like sometimes I think we had one show and there was like a dad and his daughter and she looked way too young. And the things that I'm talking about, I'm just like, this is not. This isn't right. We'll be right back. Springtime is here. And you know what that means. It's time to let those thighs breathe.

Anyway, we pull up to the hotel, and there's tour buses everywhere. And I don't know how to describe this, but basically it's like, freak neck is going on. Perfect explanation in the hotel lobby. And my bus driver, Charles, is just like, oh, New Edition is in town. And I'm like, charles, if you tell me one more time that New Edition is in town, I'm gonna lose it just. Cause he keeps saying it.

[Eddie Gosling]

He was saying.

[Daniel Tosh]

He's like, no, no, no. New Edition is here. I know all the drivers, and they have a lot of openers. And salt and pepper is here. And I was like, what year is it in St. Louis right now? That's like, new Edition.

[Eddie Gosling]

New Edition's here.

[Daniel Tosh]

He was just excited about New Edition being there. And sure enough, they were.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yep.

[Daniel Tosh]

And they had. They had the hotel rockin' right? The next day in St. Louis, we were going to a Cardinals game, and Charles, our bus driver, got us tickets, right? He knew a picture for Tampa Bay, and we got to sit in the Players, you know, family section. And I'm thinking, we're going to see some smoke show wives. Not. Not a hot one in the bunch, but whatever. We had fun. And guess who came to the game, too? Dr. Jocelyn and her family. They visited and. And they came to the game and spent the day with us. It was so fun.

[Eddie Gosling]

Snuck them into the section.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, they came to the show. I snuck him into. I am such a good. You were so good at getting people into better seats. Here's how you do it. If you want my hack in the age of electric tickets, and you're going to games and events in the middle of the day when 50,000 people better not show up. So there's gonna be tons of empty seats. You get one or two good seats, and the rest just get the cheapest thing ever and never go to your seats. And then you walk a couple people in. You're a walker. Two people in, and then you go back out and you're like, come on, let's go, let's go. Oh, you know, they're with me. You know, I'm just doing shifts, bringing different groups of people in. I know it's probably not what I should do, but there's empty seats everywhere.

[Eddie Gosling]

It was like an underground railroad you had going.

[Daniel Tosh]

You guys stayed for the game. The game went to extra innings, and I had to live by what my father taught me. Going to St. Louis Cardinal games, you. You don't stay the whole game. You have to beat traffic, which always blew my mind because we parked so far away from, you know, the stadium, Old Bush Stadium. We were never affected by traffic. I mean, my dad was on the other side of the river. You know, we never paid for parking. I, When I was at the Cardinals game, by the way, did this just to. To annoy my father. I ordered Hawaiian food because people, again, always, like, they'll make fun of California, like, oh, my God, you guys have sushi at your baseball. Say what up. St. Louis had a whole Hawaiian restaurant. I had my. My macaroni salad, my. My chicken, and my rice. It was delicious. And then I was gonna order gooey butter cake on a stick.

[Eddie Gosling]

Did you get it?

[Daniel Tosh]

I got. No, I just took a photo of it just because I was so happy that they had gooey butter cake on a stick. And then when we left the game, there was the no Kings march. And that was fun. Pete and I were in it. We're like a salmon, you know, swimming up upstream. But we don't want to act like we're not supportive, so we're kind of treating it like a parade and just cheering And I saw some signs, and I would give people thumbs up if I thought it was creative and funny. I saw one sign said, impeach him by the pussy. And that. And that made me smile.

[Eddie Gosling]

Good.

[Daniel Tosh]

I gave that guy a thumbs up. That night at the show was a big night because they had. They had laundry machines.

[Eddie Gosling]

Oh, yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

So we. We did a load of laundry. People always want to know what's. What's going on backstage at a theater. I'm. I'm sure there's tons of cool people that have whores and cocaine, but Eddie and I, when we're backstage, we're doing laundry.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Any comments from St. Louis shows?

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah. Just wanted to say that I love the show. My wife did, too. So much that she now listens to the podcast. Thank you for coming out and putting on a great performance. Warm regards, Alex.

[Daniel Tosh]

Make sure you guys listen on separate devices now, okay? That'll help our numbers. We need people to subscribe. This will make Jon mad. I can't get myself to tell people on stage to subscribe to the show. I got to start doing that. I got to force myself to do that.

[Eddie Gosling]

Got another comment. Daniel and Eddie. I went to the 7:30 show at the Stifel Theater. My face hurts from laughing so hard for so long. Had such an amazing time. I considered buying tickets to the Peoria, Illinois show. Please don't make it your last farewell tour. Truly yours, Jennifer.

[Daniel Tosh]

I don't know. I don't know what he's talking about. Peoria. Peoria was before St. Louis, right? No, this can't be my last. My last tour. But, you know, who knows? So I'm glad that you came. I'm glad you and Jennifer came, because if it is or something tragic were to happen to Eddie or myself, you can be like, hey, I'm glad we didn't put that off. Now that's a good message for the people that still have yet to buy tickets for the rest of our dates this calendar year. Let's go.

[Eddie Gosling]

This could be it.

[Daniel Tosh]

So we finished St. Louis. We get our laundry. It's all clean. I wanted my best shirt that I brought to be freshly laundered because I knew the next day was the big one. We were heading to Evansville, Right. Hutches Town, as you recall.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yep.

[Daniel Tosh]

Eddie's a stalker who. Who kept calling into the show and recommending a pizza restaurant that we had to go to. And I'm going to be honest with you, for no other reason, I was excited to be in Evansville.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

And, boy, did that all come Crashing down. I got up. I did not like what I saw. Out my bus window, I found a good coffee shop, donut shop. It was parlor donuts, right. It's a chain in that area of the country. I don't know how many locations, but it's good. It's nice. They had fancy donuts, and then they had one donut that's called their local favorite. And so I asked him, the man behind the counter, I said, well, what's the local favorite? And he replies, there's a sign in. In the donut cabinet. Local favorite. I say, what's the local favorite today? And he replied that this location doesn't have one, which I think sums up Evansville.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah, really did.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, guys, when I tell you that this town was depressing, I couldn't quite wrap my head around how we had a show there. I was like, where are the people coming from? So then we go for a walk to the pizza place that was recommended by Hutch Tierronis. And it's a long walk from where our hotel is, and it's through, you know, just downtown, I guess.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Just every. If you know anybody that's like, hey, I want to buy a city, then I have a place where I'm pretty sure you'll get one hell of a deal. Pennies on the dollar is what I'm guessing. Everything was closed, because when we got to Troni's, we were so excited. Pete was there. Eddie was there. We're walking in. You know, we're like, where do we sit? There's two sides. We find a side with our own, like, tv, and I get to watch a game that I'm probably heavily financially vested in, and we order. And by the way, the stromboli pizza that was so heavily recommended is not starred as one of the favorites on the menu. We order another traditional pizza, guys, here goes. I don't want it. I didn't want to do this. I actually don't want to do this. It was bad. Bunch of meat and squirts of red sauce on a saltine cracker crust.

[Eddie Gosling]

It was bad.

[Daniel Tosh]

Pete, how would you describe that pizza?

[Eddie Gosling]

Not good, man. A few words, but he sums it up.

[Daniel Tosh]

The best pizza ever. No, it wasn't. It wasn't. It's not the. It's not even. Oh, no.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

I had pizza at Sinopolis the other night watching Super Mario Brothers. That was better. And let me be clear, Sinopoulos. Your pizza's disgusting.

[Eddie Gosling]

They had a margherita pizza on the menu with no mozzarella.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, they didn't. They don't. There was a margherita pizza on the menu. No mozzarella. It had Monterey Jack. What?

[Eddie Gosling]

Monterey Jack. Monterey.

[Daniel Tosh]

It's not a pizza. It had Monterey Jack cheese.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

And then I just kept making. Pete and I. Eddie stopped. He refused. But I just kept making us eat it so that it. Well, they were. So. They're like, oh, do you want us to box this up? And I'm like, no, no, we're not going to box it. We're just gonna leave two half pizzas just on a table. No one leaves a pizza restaurant with. With half of the pizza you ordered just on the table.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah, now you take it with you.

[Daniel Tosh]

But we did. Now, was it the worst show of the. No, no, the show was great. Let me hear what the fine people of Evansville thought of the show.

[Eddie Gosling]

I'm gonna whip my dick out in the middle of your show tonight. Love you. Fireman Dan.

[Daniel Tosh]

This might be typical and Evansville behavior seems like it might be okay, but you don't. You leave your. You leave your hose in your pants. Fireman Dan from Indiana. We jumped over to Kentucky.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah, we did.

[Daniel Tosh]

Lexington. Lexington. Every time I'm in Lexington, I'm glad I'm not in Louisville.

[Eddie Gosling]

Okay.

[Daniel Tosh]

Pete really affected my Lexington experience in a negative way. I went to the grossest restaurant for lunch. Actually, it was your pick.

[Eddie Gosling]

That's my pick.

[Daniel Tosh]

Hold on. This was not Pete's fault. This was Eddie's fault. Eddie made us go to this Mexican restaurant. By the way, I have a hard rule about Mexican food. Southwest. If you're not in the Southwest, don't get Mexican food. Just don't you guys. People that don't live in the Southwest, of course, get Mexican wherever you want, but I live in the Southwest, so I should only eat Mexican when I'm home because there's amazing restaurants, and when I'm in Kentucky, I shouldn't let Eddie talk me into a Mexican restaurant. So we go to this place that is just so gaudy. Every inch of the restaurant is painted ridiculous and wacky, and there's weird sex. You know, I don't know what it is. It just feels.

[Eddie Gosling]

12 chandeliers.

[Daniel Tosh]

Oh. Just. Everything is just. There's statues coming out of the wall and it doesn't make sense. And it's like, oh, you know, this isn't cleaned properly. And we have this server who Pete, you know, immediately takes a shine to because he's on the road and he gets an itch.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yep.

[Daniel Tosh]

You know, she's got weird Pier scenes. What was the thing that she said

[Eddie Gosling]

was Mac and cheese donuts.

[Daniel Tosh]

There's Mac and cheese donuts?

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

And I said, what is this? I go, I don't trust my stomach to this. She goes, oh, no, those are evil. Which means she's had diarrhea at that

[Eddie Gosling]

restaurant and she's our server.

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, that's okay. I ordered two tacos that were both disgusting. I ate half of them and I was like, that's it, I'm done. I was furious. That was two days in a row that I had horrible lunches. Now that night the venue was an old venue and it was a smallish. And we did two shows and the shows were fun. The first show was really good. I loved. And they gave me a whiskey barrel lid, which is going to be a fun thing to regift. Then the second show, I had some family come out, which I despise. As soon as I have family coming, like, oh, now it's something, you know. Here, Time to censor. This will be getting back. There'll be some reports back to some key figureheads in the family. Anybody write anything?

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah, just seen Tosh in Lexington last night. I wore my nice Baby Billy tee.

[Daniel Tosh]

Baby Billy, sure. I miss Baby Billy.

[Eddie Gosling]

Me too.

[Daniel Tosh]

By the way, I saw a lot of T shirts in our shows with Carl on it. And I try to give those people a little recognition. Kentucky. The shows, the shows were good. Shows were good. And then we were heading back to Indiana the next day to get the taste of Evansville out of our mouth. To Bloomington. And Bloomington, I mean, can you, can you find a better city?

[Eddie Gosling]

Awesome.

[Daniel Tosh]

Just immediately you're like, oh, this is what? This is nice. And we're walking around. I jogged on a trail that my bus was parked on. Like they have this nice sidewalk linear park. You know, there's like a skate park, there's pickleball. And I'm just jogging now. I hate jogging on a there and back. Yeah, I like loops, right. I don't. I don't want to see the same thing twice. But I'm doing a there and back. Well, I'm enjoying what I'm seeing so much. Then I just keep going and I went out too far. I went out three miles. So now I'm doing a six mile run. I'm doing a 10k. I didn't need that, but I did it. Walked downtown, went to a bookstore. I love a local bookstore. Bought a ton of books for the kids. We did the show in Bloomington. Not my best show. The audience was, was a Little reserved. Yeah, they were a little tight. And Kurt didn't show up. Kurt Spaghetti? Why didn't he come? Because when I was at Columbus a few years before, Urban Meyer shows up with 12 coeds ready to party, right. I'm thinking, well, Kurt Spaghetti is going to do something like this.

[Eddie Gosling]

Just won a title. He's got to be feeling it.

[Daniel Tosh]

He didn't show up.

[Eddie Gosling]

A good lunch, though.

[Daniel Tosh]

Did we have a good. Oh, we ate it. What was the name of it?

[Eddie Gosling]

Osteria Rago.

[Daniel Tosh]

Some Italian place, you know. Eddie immediately gets there and like, takes his nice rolled silverware and just like, unrolls it like there's nothing inside of it, and just silverware just goes flying around the restaurant.

[Eddie Gosling]

Guys, a knife fell off the table.

[Daniel Tosh]

Nah, it was a little more violent. What our fans say about our show in Bloomington.

[Eddie Gosling]

Hello, Daniel. I just attended your show at IU Bloomington and thought it was great. On a side note, since you talk about your wife, I was nosy and found her Twitter account. I visited her website in her bio and my phone was immediately hacked and I was told to call a number to get it unhacked. I'm assuming your wife isn't an Indian man working for Microsoft. So I wanted to let you know just in case some other clicks on that.

[Daniel Tosh]

All right. Is this. Is this all just nonsense that you're reading?

[Eddie Gosling]

I think it is.

[Daniel Tosh]

Stop looking up my wife and trying to get her information. Creep from Bloomington to Ohio to Cincinnati, to begin my essential dive into a horrible abyss. I went Cincinnati, Akron, Toledo, in that order. Oh, that's a death spiral. That's a death spiral. But thankfully for lunch, I just went to the Reds game. Yep. By the way, didn't get have to pay tickets again. Our buddy Andy Levitt, that kind of books all my tours at Live Nation. He got his tickets behind home plate.

[Eddie Gosling]

It's great.

[Daniel Tosh]

That was wonderful. Every time we go to these baseball games during the day, Pete is the only person I've ever known that buys these raffle tickets. They're like, you know, they come through with a sign. It's like $50 get you 220 raffle tickets.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yep.

[Daniel Tosh]

And I guess you can win a dollar amount that you split with charity. It's like it's basically gambling, right?

[Eddie Gosling]

It's a 50 50.

[Daniel Tosh]

But he buys these raffle tickets. Did you check your numbers, Pete?

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah. In St. Louis and Cincinnati.

[Daniel Tosh]

Did you win anything? No. Pirates won. We left after. I left by the 6 shortly after that T shirt. Oh, yeah. Pete got so excited. They had a Like a vehicle drive on the field that had an automatic T shirt cannon that, like, you know, was a spinning barrel multiple. And it was firing up to, like, the upper deck. And he'd never seen something like that. Pete just got so excited. He's like, holy cow.

[Eddie Gosling]

I feel like a thousand shirts came out in a second.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was impressive. I mean, so much so that you. You think we should get that on the front lines over in Iran?

[Eddie Gosling]

Get it to Iran.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah. I wonder if during the ceasefire you can launch some free T shirts, if that's okay. Tell me what our fans said about Cincy show.

[Eddie Gosling]

All right. Hello. I'll make this short. Your show is outstanding. We've gone to see all the big comics multiple times. Seinfeld, Chappelle, Segura, Burr Bragazzi. Loved every minute of your set. Was thrilled you decided to come to Cincy. Cheers. Best of luck on your tour. Hope you come back. Regards, Kyle and Amy Smith.

[Daniel Tosh]

Well, that's nice. And they've seen all the bigs.

[Eddie Gosling]

The bigs.

[Daniel Tosh]

That's nice that they put us amongst the bigs. I'd add a few names to their list. Who should you see live? Yeah. Make sure you've seen a tail live. Got to make sure you've seen Maria Banford live. That's. My list is over.

[Eddie Gosling]

It's over. Another Cincinnati email. My wife and I attended your show last night in Cincinnati. We've been fans since we were dating in high school. I'm sure you get tons of these, but I just wanted to tell you that you brought much joy to us over the years. We have had many challenges and difficult times surrounding starting a family. As you can relate, based on your set last night and laughing together about Twisted shit has always been therapeutic for us. Now having two amazing boys, it felt full circle to see you in person. We're thankful for the positive impact your comedy has had on us. P.S. hearing the siloed laughs from around the theater during the law enforcement jokes made me glad I actually live in Columbus, John.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay, well, first of all, I don't get tons of these, so it's nice that you wrote that. Thank you very much. And I wish I would have known you were on your way to Columbus, because we were. We drove right through Columbus on our way up to Akron right after the show. We could have given you a ride. That's right up to 71. Let's be clear. Columbus is the best city in Ohio. Okay. We don't. We're not going to argue about it. It's the winner. But I couldn't do a show there for whatever reason, either we'd already done one recently, or there wasn't availability. But that was nice. All right. Because we were heading on up. We drove right through Columbus, right. Right up to Akron. Akron. I woke up, walked outside of the bus, and was immediately met by an unhoused woman who asked me, like, three questions. But I had earbuds in, and I. It's like I could hear her, but I just chose not to have the conversation. What's the rule of the earbuds? Do you always take them out or do you. I just kept walking. I was like, I'm just going to ignore this person.

[Eddie Gosling]

Think that's okay?

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, I probably did the wrong thing, but I walked around and then. And then immediately got another person at a bus stop that was real aggressive with wanting to chat with me. But that person, I just. I did, like, one of those moves and just got around them. I was like, I'm not dealing with this. And then I found the bakery that I was looking for, and the street was closed, and the workers told me to go through the library. They said, just walk through the library and you can get to the other side of the street. And I said, I'm not doing that. And I'm just going to keep walking down this way. And he's like, all right, you can do that, too. Then later that day, Pete and I walked. I wanted to go to this Pokemon store because my son is kind of into Pokemon now, and I'm going to bring him home some Pokemon cards. And I go into this Pokemon store, and Eddie, I don't know if you know this about me or not, but this was the first time I've ever been into a Pokemon store.

[Eddie Gosling]

I would imagine so.

[Daniel Tosh]

So I walk in there, and Pete's with me. And Pete also is. This is foreign to him. And there's gaming tables everywhere, by the way, the thing that shocked Pete and I the most is just the sheer square footage that is allowed for retail establishments outside of New York and Los Angeles is always shocking to us. That's always where we go. Oh, I forgot that some places, when they start a business, can have parking for 300 cars and enough storage space to do whatever they want. Okay, so we're in this huge warehouse of a. Of a Pokemon store, and there's tons of tables for people to play. And I'm immediately overwhelmed, but I'm enjoying it. And then I see this. This guy that works there. There's quite a few people that Work there. Quite a few people shopping and this guy's got very long, beautiful, curly, Kenny G esque type hair. And I. One customer came up to him and said, oh man, your hair's getting longer every time I see you. And then he replied back to the customer with just almost zero sarcasm. Yeah, your hair does the same thing. And I just loved him from that moment forward. I was like, okay, this guy's great. And then he sees me and he goes, tosh, oh, that's great. What are you doing in the nerd castle? And I was like, well, I've got a nerd in training at home. And he's like, that's great. And so then he helped me out and I. I just wanted, you know, I didn't want to get my son anything crazy expensive, but I wanted him to get something. The packaging. I wanted to be cool. And, you know, I bought him a fifty dollar thing that had ten or so packs in it and a little figurine, by the way. No, no, young people watching older guys come in there. And this guy was like, hey, what do you give me for this card? And they're like, we'll give you 200. And he's like, I need 220. And they're like, we'll give you 210. And he's like, all right. And he takes $210 for this one card. And I'm just like, oh, I know that this exists. And he's like, when are you. What day is your tournament? And they're like, It's Thursdays at 8. I don't know. I'm blown away at this whole world that I know nothing about. We may have to bring in either that guy that works at the store or just another Pokemon expert. Because it is fascinating that it's just such a world that I know nothing about that people care so much and then real money is changing hands.

[Eddie Gosling]

Right. There's a whole economy with this culture.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, the guy's just making money. What the people of Akron say about the show.

[Eddie Gosling]

Hi, could you please let me know who made the outfit Daniel Wore at the 7pm Akron show? It was a plaid zipper blazer with matching plaid pants. I really liked it and want to find it and buy it. If you have time, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you, Tim Moon.

[Daniel Tosh]

All right, Tim, I'm going to help you out here. Now, I'm positive you're not going to find it in Akron. Maybe you will. Carrie, who does my wardrobe, has been on the show. Wonderful one. She's currently texting me about gifts for my wife for our anniversary. Ugh. That suit is not that special. It's theory. So it's not cheap. I don't. I don't. I don't even want to guess. But it's not. It's not off the charts, but it's very thin. I like it. One time I ripped the crotch. I had to have it sewed right before the show. Found a lady downtown that did it in two minutes. Charged me two bucks. It was amazing. And you know who I've seen wear that suit one or that little outfit? Idris Elba in a commercial. There's a commercial that Idris Elba has the exact one on. He wears his zipped up more. I wear mine usually unzipped. I'll. It might not be the exact same suit, but it looks like it. But one night in, I forgot what venue I was in. Somebody heckled me. I don't know if you were there. I never understand what people are heckling. If they yell at me because I don't hear that well. And I'm normally like thinking it's going to be hostile. But this person's like, nice sweatpants.

[Eddie Gosling]

Nice sweatpants.

[Daniel Tosh]

But they weren't sweatpants. I mean, they do have an elastic waist and a drawstring.

[Eddie Gosling]

Drawstring technology. Sweatpants.

[Daniel Tosh]

No, it's not. They're not. They're not sweatpants at all. It's. It's fine material. The pant. There's no, There's. It's not scrunchy around the ankle.

[Eddie Gosling]

Okay,

[Daniel Tosh]

One side of me was an Outback Steakhouse, and the other side of me was a Longhorn Steakhouse. And I was like, this is perfect. And that was it. I was like, I'm not getting off the bus. And I didn't. I stayed on the bus. I didn't go anywhere. I did work. I didn't work out this day. I had Pete go get me lunch, and I ate leftovers. Now, Eddie went to lunch. He went to a diner by himself. That sounds depressing, but wait for it. He also, then the hotel didn't have a gym, but they would give you a coupon to go across the street to some, you know, big whatever gym. And in the gym, there's like a bunch of Turning Point USA flags hanging up. And I'm just like, oh, no. Every TV on the ellipticals preset to Fox. Yeah, it's big gym. So Eddie worked. So I was like, you know what? I'd rather? I'd rather get fucking fatter than listen and see this shit. And so, okay, so we have one show in Toledo, and I get on stage. I'm not lying, guys. This is what happened. I get on stage. I'm barely into my set, and I hear somebody screaming at me. And I'm like, well, okay, what's this? And they're just screaming, Medic. Medic. I'm like, oh, no. What is going on? Apparently there was two different people screaming, Medic. One in the upper level, one in the lower level. Guys, when I say that this happens, yes, it happened, but rarely. Now there's two people the same time in the same show. So I don't know how serious it is. I say, okay, bring the house lights up. I'll step off stage. Let's get some professionals in here to handle this. And I'd leave stage. The whole time backstage, I'm just furious because I'm like, when am I going back on stage to fulfill my contractual obligation so I can get the fuck out of here? And it takes way too long. And I finally go back out there, and let me tell you something, like nothing ever happened. Just go right back into telling jokes. It's so bad for the continuity of a show. It's worst case scenario. But again, I'm a professional. I'll do it. We got through that show. Yep. And people that were at the show probably had the best time of their lives. But that's only because they live there and they've never experienced joy before.

[Eddie Gosling]

Here's a comment. Are we going to talk about you causing a person to nearly die in Toledo?

[Daniel Tosh]

It was not my fault.

[Eddie Gosling]

Their blood's on your hands, Daniel.

[Daniel Tosh]

There's no scenario where that is my fault.

[Eddie Gosling]

Can't thank you enough for coming to Toledo. Great show. Eddie was incredible. Glad you made it out unscathed.

[Daniel Tosh]

Barely. We barely made it out. And then we're wrapping it up. Then we're heading to Grand Rapids, Michigan. And I don't know if it's just from coming from Toledo the night before, but Grand Rapids is just beautiful. Yeah, the downtown was so pretty. I was like, this is great. It was raining and kind of cold, yet still beautiful. That's. That's what Toledo does to you. Although Pete did put me in the worst Uber. It was a van. And, like, there was, like, stickers on the outside of the van. Like, a tiger's mouth.

[Eddie Gosling]

Oh, cool.

[Daniel Tosh]

That, like. Okay.

[Eddie Gosling]

And taekwondo dojo.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah. It was like a tiger's mouth. And when the doors opened, it was like. It was like, you're, like, going into the mouth, and. And I go, pete, what did you think of those. That sticker, like, that wrap job on it? He goes, I didn't notice it. I'm like, oh, what do you mean? How do you not notice that we just walked through a tiger's mouth? And then I filmed. I was, like, secretly trying to film inside the van because I was so grossed out. There was, like, just. Every inch of the interior of the walls was, like, covered in construction paper, like, taped over. It made no sense to MPs. Like, that's not the worst car you've ever been in. Like, he always thinks I'm being dramatic, but I'm like, it might be the worst thing I've ever sat in.

[Eddie Gosling]

Wow.

[Daniel Tosh]

Why not just hit the other button for the nicer car on Uber?

[Eddie Gosling]

I just now remembered it was an

[Daniel Tosh]

Uber, but that's where my Michigan's where my gambling went off the rails, because they've got these online casinos that you can just have access to, and I. I get why people have problems there. Because. Holy cow.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah. You were playing straight games.

[Daniel Tosh]

I know. You were on a casino floor playing Ultimate Texas hold'. Em. I love that table game. That's fun, man. Can you have some big swings? I hit a. I hit a straight flush. Okay. Now, granted, I didn't have enough money on it to make it really exciting, but I hit a straight flush. I'll show you the screen grab.

[Eddie Gosling]

Mm.

[Daniel Tosh]

I saved it. Okay. What do the fans say about the show in Grand Rapids, our final night? We had two shows there.

[Eddie Gosling]

Tosh came for the gender reveal, but instead got the best comedy show I've ever been to live. Laughed my ass off.

[Daniel Tosh]

What does that mean, the gender reveal?

[Eddie Gosling]

I don't know. Laughed my ass off. Eddie Gosling's set was hilarious as well, though I've never seen a picture of him and only heard his voice. You both were so good at convincing my wife to go see you at the Cosmopolitan. Keep up the great work. Sincerely, Matt Pierce.

[Daniel Tosh]

You gotta make sure you let me know what show at the Cosmopolitan you're gonna be at, because I don't want to be on stage thinking, I wonder if Matt's wife's here tonight.

[Eddie Gosling]

Is Matt's wife here to just ask every day, guys?

[Daniel Tosh]

That was leg one of my first farewell tour. Leg two starts in, like, eight weeks or six weeks or something. I don't know.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yep.

[Daniel Tosh]

We're in the Northeast. Okay. And we're in Canada. We're in the northeast and in Canada. That's fun.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay. The bar has been set. Paw show. Okay, Eddie, I'm going to ask you the big question. What was your favorite show on that leg of the tour and your least favorite show?

[Eddie Gosling]

Lexington was my favorite first show.

[Daniel Tosh]

Lexington, first show was your favorite.

[Eddie Gosling]

Yeah.

[Daniel Tosh]

Okay.

[Eddie Gosling]

Worst show, Bloomington. I feel like I could never get momentum to carry through.

[Daniel Tosh]

Hmm. Least favorite was Bloomington. My least favorite was Toledo. And my favorite was the second show, Grand Rapids.

[Eddie Gosling]

There you go. Oh, yeah, because you get to go home and somebody almost died at the other one. Yours makes more sense.

[Daniel Tosh]

Plug patreon.com toss show. Plug. My first farewell tour, guys. Be a part of history. We have the toss show. Store.com. people were wearing your shirts, Carl. People were wearing your shirts at the show. That was nice to see. I feel like since we did this episode and there were so many people patting us on the back saying, good show. I think we shouldn't be do they love me? I think we should do they love me not. They love me not to. To end out this episode.

[Eddie Gosling]

All right, Michael Glover, 9187. Okay, terrible host, if you're going to interject, maybe make sure you add something to the convo.

[Daniel Tosh]

I mean, that's good advice. I don't think I'm a terrible host, though.

[Eddie Gosling]

Definitely not.

[Daniel Tosh]

Thank you. What else you got?

[Eddie Gosling]

This is from goomberdups. I've come to really hate the gifting sections. It's so awkward.

[Daniel Tosh]

Yeah, I'm not gonna get rid of the gifting section. That's perfect for you, especially just coming off a tour where I just constantly was given stuff where I'm like, I don't want this guys. One place made us lovely cookies. You love cookies. Yeah. And they put, put my face. Well, they didn't really put my face on. My face was absent. But they made Carl just real thoughtful cookies. But the cookies, you know, they all do these now these icings where they can put any print on top of them. And the cookies aren't that good. Sometimes you have to cut the hard icing off and then you get to the just the good sugar cookie. But these were a little overdone. I mean, I appreciate the gesture though. See you next week.
