Eddie
Oh, gross.
Daniel Tosh
Show.
Eddie
Posh show from show. All right, another episode of Tosh show. I'm Daniel. And you are a listener, a subscriber, a watcher, a lurker. But soon you could possibly be. Wait for it. Family.
Oliver
What?
Eddie
Yep. What have I and Vin Diesel always said? It's about family. That is my mantra. What's the hardest part about running a company, Eddie?
Oliver
Employees.
Eddie
Hiring the right employees. It's hard to know if you've hired the right person. It takes such a skill to pick one qualified person over another qualified person. Imagine, like, I know for a fact you guys aren't the best at your job. Okay? Imagine how amazing this show could be if I hired the best, right?
Oliver
I mean, I'm imagining it and it's pretty good.
Eddie
It would be an amazing podcast.
Oliver
It would be better.
Eddie
It would be a better podcast. Everyone that listens would be better off. But the reality is, you guys aren't half bad.
Oliver
I like that.
Eddie
I'll take it. You're not half bad. You're not great, but you're not half bad. Where are you going with this, Tosh? I'll tell you where I'm going with this. Much like hiring people is difficult. Also, picking a partner is difficult for some people. For me, whenever I dated, it was always easy. I'm like, okay, are they physically attractive? Great. That's all I care about. Well, no, no, but seriously, as soon as I meet somebody, I could be like, there's some red flags here. It's fine. That doesn't mean I won't date him for two years. Doesn't mean we won't have a great time. Doesn't mean I Won't get myself into some financial trouble by telling them to, you know, get rid of their apartment and move in. But, like, I get it. I know what I'm compatible with. And then I met my wife, and I'm like, ah, shit, I'm going to have to do it with this one. I'm going to have to stick it out. Now, on the flip side of that is my wife's cousin. I brought her up many times. We call her Panda or PA for short. Now she doesn't know how to pick a guy. It's just one surefire miss after another.
Oliver
You've been around some.
Stephanie
I've been around a lot.
Oliver
Yeah.
Eddie
So she has given up on picking. She's allowed me to have complete control. I am now going to pick the next person that she dates. And not maybe not just the next person, just for the rest of her dating life until she settles down. I am going to pick this person. Right here's what I'd like. I'd like if anybody's listening to the show that wants to do a reality show, here's my pitch for a reality show. And this is legit, you're saying, well, why don't you just go to your agents and your managers? Nah, you know what? They. They've got other clients that. They care about me. They just. They just take a check. They don't. They're not. They're not going to do a lot of work, then that's okay. I get it. You know, the ship has sailed. I'm an old man. But if someone in Hollywood wants to do this reality show. No, you just get in contact with Pete. I'm going to. I'll do this show. Here's the reality show. It's like a dating show, like the Bachelorette, but it's different. The show is who wants to be a member of my family? Okay? It's hosted by me, and I get to pick. I get to handle everything. There's no, oh, we didn't have enough time this season to really get to know each other. But I have to pick tomorrow. No, no. You need an extra six months. Fine, you got it. We'll go an extra six months. Oh, guess what? This person in a confessional interview said this. Well, I'm going to play that for you so you hear it. This is about finding someone that when I go on vacation with them, I don't want to murder them. It's really just about me being happy.
Oliver
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, also, like, you know, you have to be in love with her. I guess. And then you have to want kids because you got to knock her up within a year, maybe two, three at the max. Here's what I want. I don't want somebody that's been married and already has kids. I don't want that. Okay? It's too much luggage. Your age. I like them younger than me. I don't want it. I don't want to deal with some guy. I don't want to go on vacation with a guy that's older than me, then when I start bossing him around, it's weird, but if you're a year younger than me. All right, now knock it off. How old's Oliver? How old is your son?
Oliver
He's 18.
Eddie
Oh, man. He's too young. He's too young for her, I think. So I'd like. Oliver's already, like, family, but if he's. If he's willing to knock her up in a year, I'll throw his hat into the ring.
Oliver
Well, he's trying to get his permit, and he's got his permit, but he's got his license for. A lot of things have to happen.
Eddie
All right, so I'm thinking the age range. Let's go. 35 to 45 is kind of a good range. Needs to be tall. I think she's 5, 8, 5 9.
Oliver
She seems tall.
Eddie
Yeah, she's tall. And by the way, I know that my viewers probably aren't the right fit for her, but maybe you know somebody that is. That. That. That will help. That'll be better. You probably need to be liberal on. On certainly the social issues. I don't give a fuck if you're fiscally conservative.
Oliver
Employment.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. I mean, you have to have. You have to be established. If you're fucking 35 to 45, you. You better have a real job. But it can be a cool job. Yeah, it just has to be. You have to be employed. You have to know what you're doing in your life.
Daniel Tosh
Oh.
Eddie
You also have to be okay. That she's, like, hugely into horses, which I know is its own huge red flag.
Stephanie
If I do.
Eddie
I would. Do you think I'm joking? I will do this reality show, and, like, I would even have, like, a contestant. Let's say there's somebody that's like, I would love to take her on a date, but I don't want to be on your reality show. Like, that's the right answer.
Oliver
Okay, I like that.
Eddie
I'll blur you out. The right person shouldn't want to be on a reality show.
Oliver
This pasta is Delicious.
Eddie
Yeah, we'll do the voice thing for them.
Oliver
I like it. It's pretty good.
Eddie
I've already proven I can host a major reality show. Use that show that I did, the Goat, as my audition tape to prove. Okay. He can do this. It's probably one season unless things go south.
Oliver
I think this is going to work.
Eddie
I think it's going to work, too.
Oliver
The show's going to be fun to watch, but I think it'll.
Eddie
You might think I'm lying about getting. Getting full control, but I am not. Let me see if she plays ball here.
Daniel Tosh
Hello.
Eddie
Hey.
Daniel Tosh
Hi.
Eddie
I just need this for legal. You have given up complete control to me in finding your husband, sl. Father of your baby. Correct.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah.
Eddie
Why? I'm just. I'm just. I'm making it official.
Amanda
Okay. Yes. I've given you all. All power.
Eddie
Do you have a race in mind?
Amanda
No, I'm open to all.
Eddie
You're open to all races?
Oliver
All races, yeah.
Eddie
Huh. What about cultures that eat horses?
Amanda
No, no, no. That's a hard no.
Eddie
Okay.
Oliver
All right, we'll put that on the list.
Eddie
I think we just ruled out 1 billion people. Just say hi to all your potential men out there. Just give them a nice. Hello.
Amanda
Hello.
Eddie
Oh, God. Hey. What? What? What kind of job do you want them to have?
Amanda
I don't care, as long as they are successful and happy in what they do.
Eddie
How ugly will you go if he.
Amanda
Has a great personality and he's a wonderful human being. I don't really care what he looks like.
Eddie
When you say you don't care what he looks like, but you also. But you do care how tall he is. I said he has to be tall.
Amanda
He has to be taller than me.
Eddie
Yeah, but five, ten is not acceptable.
Amanda
Yeah, I would say six feet and above.
Eddie
All right, I'm going to work on this. We'll see you later.
Amanda
All right. See you later.
Oliver
There you go.
Eddie
It's official right now. That might have been the first time somebody heard their wife talking.
Oliver
Mind blowing.
Eddie
Isn't that crazy? Yeah. They're listening to this and they're like, you know what? That. I could deal with that voice forever. You could do worse. Trust me. In my family. Oh, there's a few that you want to stay away from. Here's another thing about Amanda that I do need to let people know.
Oliver
Okay.
Eddie
She gets this random eye thing that happens from time to time. No doctor has pinpointed exactly what it is. It's probably hormonal, but, like, her eye. Cartoonish golf ball will just swell up and this happens six to ten times a year. It is disturbing. And it takes about 24 hours. She takes a ton of Benadryl or whatever to get it down. She's gone to every specialist. Nobody can figure it out. Whatever. That's it. So every now and then you'll wake up next to a mutant. But that's not that big of a deal. Take her out to a nice dinner. Don't be a jerk. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I don't even know how to date anymore. But whatever. Go out to dinner. And I tell you who could make a great recommendation for that dinner. Today's guest, enjoy. Original Penguin. It's an iconic American brand known for vintage, inspired clothes for an original good time. Let me tell you something guys. Right now, this, this hits close to home to me. My grandfather always wore Penguin shirts. I remember a photo of him wearing a Penguin shirt when he hit his hole in one. Oh, that was a big deal for our family. This year, the Original Penguin is celebrating their 70th anniversary of their iconic logo. Pete the Penguin. I didn't even know his name was Pete. Did you, Pete? You should be wearing those shirts. Original Penguin has been an icon in men's fashion, becoming a full lifestyle brand that celebrates individuality and fun.

Paw Show My guest today has reviewed every Michelin starred restaurant in Los Angeles along with every hole in the wall in a sketchy looking shopping plaza in K Town. Please welcome food blogger, meringue maker and doll number one of the Dining Dolls. Stephanie. Hi, Stephanie. Do you believe in ghosts?
Daniel Tosh
Oh, starting there. Yes. Yes, I do.
Eddie
You do?
Daniel Tosh
What is it? Spirits? Ghosts? I don't know. Ghosts. Sounds a little Casper to me. I do believe in spirits.
Eddie
Have you ever had an interaction?
Daniel Tosh
I haven't, but I've heard stories that kind of make me feel like may be true. I don't know though.
Eddie
So you're on the fence?
Daniel Tosh
I'm on the. Yes, I'm on the fence.
Eddie
Stephanie. Is that your real name?
Daniel Tosh
It is not.
Eddie
Oh, I didn't know that.
Daniel Tosh
Yes. So my real name is Rastislava, which is incredibly difficult. You nailed it. You're the only one that's nailed it on the first try. And you can roll your Rs, so that's wonderful.
Eddie
Uh huh.
Daniel Tosh
But most people can. When I immigrated here, I changed my name to like literally the most common name.
Eddie
Did you pick it?
Daniel Tosh
It was kind of like my middle name. And I just, you know, it was so Americanized. Like I just wanted to fit in, you know. Do you fit in now? I don't want to really fit in, you know, now I want to be different. But you know, when you're a kid, all you want to do is fit in.
Eddie
Well, did you fit in as a kid or.
Daniel Tosh
No, probably not. You didn't? I don't know. Probably not, no, not when I moved here, no.
Eddie
You were born in the ussr, which is now ukra Ukraine, and fled communism before immigrating to San Diego. Is your family just all big Padres fans?
Daniel Tosh
I will have to say no. Actually, when my parents escaped communism, we first actually moved to Minnesota. So I'm actually a Midwestern girl. Then we moved to San Diego and college. So I, I did grow up in San Diego and I'm sorry. High school. High school. I grew up in San Diego. It's a college college there. Love it.
Eddie
I love people from Minnesota. They say Minnesota. Nice. You know that term?
Daniel Tosh
I do.
Eddie
Are you part of it?
Daniel Tosh
100%.
Eddie
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
Yes. And I. And I feel that I just, I went there recently, a couple years ago.
Eddie
And that's not recently.
Daniel Tosh
Well, yeah, I guess, but it feels like it was yesterday. But I went there for 10 whole days, which is like a month in Minnesota, and everyone was so nice and I was like, okay, well, yeah, I love it. It makes sense.
Eddie
What do you think of people in San Diego in general when you compare them to your time in Los Angeles? Oh, people lump us all together. But I feel we're polar opposites.
Daniel Tosh
Very opposite. No, San Diego's very chill. Laid back. It's very similar to Malibu maybe, but la.
Eddie
No, it's not.
Daniel Tosh
No, it's not.
Eddie
There's a bunch of right wing radicals out there in San Diego. San Diego's Texas by the beach.
Daniel Tosh
You can retire in San Diego and have a wonderful life, you know.
Eddie
All right, you're a supertaster. Explain what that is, because it sounds like bullshit.
Daniel Tosh
It could very well be bullshit. Right? But growing up, I mean, people say.
Eddie
That there are supertasters. People can taste things that other people cannot.
Daniel Tosh
Yes. And it's also a gift and a curse. Like, I don't. I don't want necessarily that. I don't know. I mean, it's. I'm obsessed with food, obsessed with the flavor of it. And sometimes something that's too much it, I don't like it. Like, I don't like hard alcohol. It's. I can't handle it. My palate can't handle it. There are certain foods that I cannot eat because it's just too much for my palate. But I can taste every ingredient. It's an obsession.
Eddie
And you knew about this as a child?
Daniel Tosh
Yes.
Eddie
Were you a picky eater as a kid?
Daniel Tosh
Well, the food that my mom was making, I was. Sorry, Mom, I love you, but.
Eddie
Oh, you did enjoy it?
Daniel Tosh
I did not enjoy it because I don't know if you're familiar with Ukrainian food, but I, from my experience only, I like to call it war food. A lot of it is preserved. It's canned or for the cold winters. It's not fresh. I like fresh food. So it would be things like salmon covered in mayonnaise, cooked in the oven for two hours like that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, mom, but. And after that, just made me really want to go out and explore what else is out there. So I started cooking at a young age. Started watching Food Network instead of cartoons. Like, I was just always infatuated with it. And I've always wanted to taste good things.
Eddie
Are you a good cook?
Daniel Tosh
I am a fantastic cook. Just call me chef.
Eddie
That's great.
Daniel Tosh
Thank you.
Eddie
Do you enjoy it? I mean, you still enjoy it?
Daniel Tosh
I love it.
Eddie
Do you like shopping for the food?
Daniel Tosh
To be honest with you, Covid kind of changed that trajectory because I started doing Instacart and I got so fucking spoiled. And now that I moved to Westlake, yeah, I'll go to my farmer's markets. I'll go to my sprouts.
Eddie
Are you pro or anti borscht?
Daniel Tosh
I am very pro borscht, but I've Only had my grandmother's borscht. I haven't had anyone else's borscht. I cannot vouch for borscht in general.
Eddie
Is there any borscht restaurants?
Daniel Tosh
Not that I know of. But to be honest with you, I don't go and seek out that culture, food. I just don't.
Eddie
Uh huh. A little PTSD with it or. No.
Daniel Tosh
Maybe a little bit. I mean, I go to. I'd go to my grandmother's house to have it.
Eddie
Is there. Is there a borscht restaurant in Los Angeles? I need to know.
Daniel Tosh
You know, I have heard of an incredible one in Venice called Dacha. It's a Ukrainian restaurant.
Eddie
Why wouldn't you pop in?
Daniel Tosh
You know, I just moved to Westlake. I used to live in downtown. I still. Venice is like.
Eddie
Why do you live in downtown?
Daniel Tosh
Gosh, I used to live there for eight years. But it was fantastic.
Eddie
You liked it? I always feel like people that live in downtown, it's like you're just a different person. Like you might as well live in a different country as far as I'm concerned.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, yeah. Oh, I was so cool. Yeah. When I lived in downtown, I was just the coolest person. I mean, I live right next to Odium. I love all the Michelin restaurants next to the Road Museum. I walked everywhere. I walked to get my nails done. Walked to Whole Foods. I mean, I didn't even get a car.
Eddie
You can do that everywhere. It just takes a lot longer.
Daniel Tosh
It just takes exactly.
Oliver
Got some borscht restaurants.
Eddie
You do?
Oliver
Stara House.
Eddie
Stara House.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, shit.
Eddie
Borscht restaurant. I haven't even heard of Star House. What Star House? In Eddie.
Oliver
There's Los Angeles, California.
Eddie
Okay.
Oliver
Oh, Tracteer restaurant.
Eddie
Tractateer.
Daniel Tosh
My mom has gone there. It's very Russian. I think it's pretty authentic.
Oliver
I would say Robert's Russian Cuisine.
Eddie
You ever been to Robert's Russian Cuisine?
Daniel Tosh
No, I haven't had the pleasure.
Oliver
Where's a good bowl of soup?
Daniel Tosh
Oh my God.
Eddie
Do you like soup?
Daniel Tosh
Like Jewish delis have like the best, like matzo ball, right? You know, bread.
Eddie
I don't like matzo ball soup that much. Oh, no, I love soups, but I don't love a matzo ball.
Daniel Tosh
I would. Then I wouldn't even know where to go for soup. Where do you go? Where do you go for soup?
Eddie
Soup plantation.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, no. Oh. Oh, you're making fun of me. Is it a San Diego thing?
Eddie
No. Is that a San Diego chain? No, it's. Is it from there? Here's the.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, My gosh.
Eddie
Okay, here. It's not funny. It's more mocking my illiteracy. The first time I came to California, I don't know if they weren't on the east coast or what, but I had never seen a soup plantation. And I saw it, and their font is a bit cursive, Y. And I read it as soupilation. And I.
Daniel Tosh
That's amazing.
Eddie
I was like, oh, what is a soupilation? But then when I found out that it was soup plantation, I'm like, you can't have plantation in the title of your business.
Daniel Tosh
Is that why they closed it?
Eddie
Better be why they closed it.
Daniel Tosh
Got canceled.
Eddie
It should have gotten canceled. Can't have a plantation of soup workers.
Daniel Tosh
Well, now it's up to you to revive it with a different name with only soups. You love French onion.
Oliver
Let's go to Panera.
Eddie
I'm not going to Panera. It's Whole Food. What'd you say? Whole Foods has the best soup. Whole Foods has the best soup. I was going to say Erewhon doesn't do bad.
Daniel Tosh
Probably my intuition would be Erewhon, but yeah.
Eddie
Tell me more about this Italian market you helped start. And is it still around?
Daniel Tosh
No, it's not still around. I opened. I was so in love with food when I was in college, and I knew I had to be in the food industry one way or another, and I wanted to open something. We had porchetta. We had fresh pasta, and I was making macaroons, like French macaroons. So that's where I kind of fell in love with meringue. Through the process of making macaroons.
Eddie
Well, the two aren't. Are they similar? How are.
Daniel Tosh
Yes. So to make a macaroon, you have to make meringue first. You just add the almond flour or whatever. So I was just so in love with it. And that always stuck with me. After that, I just. I gave it to my partner, wonderful partner. And then I ended up traveling and exploring different things all over the world. And that's when I really learned through travel. And when I came back, I said, okay, I know I have to be in food one way or another. And I just started documenting my experiences. That's kind of how all of this came about, the dining dolls and everything. So it was just really Passion project.
Eddie
You started a food review blog, the Dining Dolls with your sister?
Daniel Tosh
Yes, it was with your sister.
Eddie
And then you fired her.
Daniel Tosh
Her ass is fired. Yeah.
Eddie
Was she an older sister or younger sister?
Daniel Tosh
Younger.
Eddie
Younger. No. So she went back to San Diego and said no by the way. Why can't she keep doing it from San Diego? You can do a blog from anywhere.
Daniel Tosh
That's what I'm telling her. I would love to have her involved. I mean, you know what, though? Everyone is a dining doll. That's kind of how I structured it. But, yes, we started it together. She's amazing. She just had two really young kids. So, you know, I mean, you know how it is.
Eddie
If you have kids, they're gonna. They start out young.
Daniel Tosh
Yes, exactly. They're very young, and they're. They need so much attention.
Eddie
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
But eventually.
Eddie
Eventually she's gonna need some, you know, me time that. Then are you gonna let her come back or.
Daniel Tosh
No, she's gonna have to prove her. Prove herself. No, no, no. Just kidding. No, no. She can come back anytime.
Eddie
Is she a super taster as well?
Daniel Tosh
She is. She is. We have so much in common in that sense. She loves food just as much as I do. We love going out to eat. We love the whole thing.
Eddie
So how often are you putting content on there?
Daniel Tosh
Well, now I put content on all my social channels.
Eddie
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
Recently started with TikTok, actually. Love it. I'm not scrolling on there, but I'm posting content. My content's going crazy viral on TikTok.
Eddie
What has been your favorite meal or restaurant in Los Angeles?
Daniel Tosh
Shit.
Eddie
By the way, do you get your Los Angeles parameters? Confuse me. Cause you'll go from fucking Orange county to. To. To the Valley, and all of it is. It's nonsense. It's not. Or do you like, specifically, is there an area in Los Angeles like. No, this is where I like to go to restaurants.
Daniel Tosh
For a while, it really was downtown.
Eddie
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
Michelin restaurants. And my favorite for a while was Orson Winston, which is a Japanese Italian mix concept. They have a Michelin star. Absolutely incredible. Now, and I hate that question, to be honest, but I've given a lot of thought recently, and I've come to the conclusion that, yeah, I actually do have a favorite somewhere that I could go eat every single day, and that is sushi and specifically Shibuya in Calabasas.
Eddie
You actually are a big fan of Los Angeles as far as the diversity, the restaurants, the choices. Give me some hole in the wall dive places that you're like, oh, you need to check that out. What's your. Here, I'll go quick with you. Sandwich place. I want a good sandwich place. Where do you go?
Daniel Tosh
A couple of doors down. There's Lorenzo's. Crazy amazing sandwiches there, too.
Eddie
Breakfast. Are you a breakfast person?
Daniel Tosh
I'm not, but I Do have My favorite. Oh, my gosh. All Time Los Feliz. The fucking best. The best breakfast place you'll ever have. There's no. It's all fresh. Farmer's market, no seed oils. Like, it's just. You feel good after eating it. There's always a fucking line, though. But it's fine. It's one of those places.
Eddie
Which one is.
Daniel Tosh
It's called All Time. It's legit. And tartine. I fuck with tartine for sure.
Eddie
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
It's not a hole in the wall though. But all Time. Maybe like a little bit.
Eddie
What do you order?
Daniel Tosh
Salad, sandwich, whatever they make. They're obsessed with creating the perfect simple dish, but it's perfect. Can't get it any. Anything better than that.
Eddie
Do you like lunch or are you not a lunch person?
Daniel Tosh
No, I'm actually more of a lunch person.
Eddie
I love lunch.
Daniel Tosh
I love lunch. I only go to dinner if it's like a tasting. I'm not a din.
Eddie
I'm a liner person.
Daniel Tosh
Fuck. Yeah. Yes. Go to bed by night. Yeah. Dinner later.
Eddie
Because I don't want to make reservations. And when you call these places that normally wouldn't, you're like, no, no, I'll eat it. The second your doors open, they're like, yeah, come in.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, exactly. Oh, no, me too. Five o'. Clock. I'm there.
Eddie
Yes. Well, that actually makes me sad when restaurants close or don't open until 5, because if they stay open from lunch through, then I know that I can eat at 4 and then no one is there.
Daniel Tosh
Exactly. That's my favorite time to eat too. That's why. Yeah, I'm not.
Eddie
Salads. Do you. You do enjoy your salads.
Daniel Tosh
You know what? I fucking hate salads. I hate salads. But there's only a few places that I love salads. I'll fuck with salads. Only at like three places only, which is lodge, bread, all thyme and tartine. That's it.
Eddie
Have you had any good restaurants in South Bay?
Daniel Tosh
Yes.
Eddie
Which ones you like?
Daniel Tosh
Oh, my gosh. Don't say MD Post Barron's. Barron's. Fantastic.
Eddie
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, J. Trainees. Oh, so good. Yeah, I posted about it recently. I mean, South Bay, it's its own little pocket. It's just like Malibu. It's its own thing. You don't leave the South Bay if you live there.
Eddie
Well, no, you can't. It's too crowded. You're smushed in.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, but there are a few. South Bay.
Eddie
Can you get into every restaurant?
Daniel Tosh
I mean.
Eddie
Yeah, I mean, that's really, the big thing in Los Angeles is not having to. You know, some of these places, they, like, oh, we only take reservations on the first Tuesday of the month. And it's nonsense.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, it's so fucking annoying. No, I've had to do that for, like, French laundry. Like, I've had to. No, it's annoying. But if you're diligent or if, you know, people are. I mean, there's always a way. If there's a way.
Eddie
Did you love French laundry?
Daniel Tosh
You know, I did. I did. I actually did. I think it lived up to that.
Eddie
Do you love fine dining?
Daniel Tosh
I love fine dining is my first love.
Eddie
Oh, good for you. It's a little too much for me. I appreciate it. I think it's. I think it's. I'm glad it exists, but it's, you know, it's certainly not my go to.
Daniel Tosh
What is your go to?
Eddie
What do you know? I love cooking, you know, or if my wife. And if we eat at home, I like that. I like going to a restaurant. I don't like to go to restaurants that are sceney. I just went to Funky the other night. I didn't. I was like, I don't like this.
Daniel Tosh
Okay. Yeah. Pretty sceny.
Eddie
Yeah, that's, you know, I was like, whatever. It was fine. It was good. I like the other one in Venice more.
Daniel Tosh
Yes.
Eddie
Felix.
Daniel Tosh
Felix, yeah, the. The OG One. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
I like Felix more.
Daniel Tosh
I hear that.
Eddie
Whatever. I'm just trying to think. Just what I did recently.
Daniel Tosh
You're in Malibu. There are some good spots here.
Eddie
Occasionally. I'm not afraid to travel for a meal.
Daniel Tosh
Same here.
Eddie
Not too far.
Daniel Tosh
Exactly.
Eddie
You don't like to give bad reviews? Or do you? Or do you just refuse not to? It's not your thing.
Daniel Tosh
It's mixed. I have done it in the past, but sparingly, because my whole thing is just to showcase talent and innovation. And chefs, you know, they work so hard. I respect it. It's really admirable what they do. Crazy long hours, and they don't get, you know. So I really want to shed a good light on chefs and the community and, you know, contribute something that's positive. But there are instances that will. Will call for that.
Eddie
Do restaurants hit you up on Instagram to come and review their spots?
Daniel Tosh
Yes.
Eddie
And what do you do?
Daniel Tosh
I do my research. I do it very thoroughly. I don't post anything that I don't stand behind, and I don't also just don't go anywhere that I don't know 100% about what?
Eddie
About your. Will you take free meals?
Daniel Tosh
Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah.
Eddie
Oh.
Daniel Tosh
Oh. If you're listening, Restaurants. I mean, all the free stuff. Yeah, go, go.
Eddie
But that. That doesn't sway how you're going to write it.
Daniel Tosh
If it's good, it's good. You know what I mean? If it's not good, am I going to write it?
Eddie
Yeah, but if it's free, I'm always like, well, it was free. I guess that was a good experience.
Daniel Tosh
But I don't also go to places that are going to be mediocre, so I will only go to the best places.
Eddie
Do you go by yourself?
Daniel Tosh
Oh, no, no. It's. It's. It's an experience.
Eddie
Do you bring, like, a crew with you?
Daniel Tosh
Sometimes, yeah. I mean, that's what I love. I bring all my girlfriends. Yes, yes.
Eddie
Oh, this operation, this is like the best gig in the world.
Daniel Tosh
It truly is. And we have the best time.
Eddie
Yelp. Did Yelp ruin the world as we know it?
Daniel Tosh
You know, it's almost like a fucking mafia, because from my understanding, they. They threaten restaurants. Like, restaurants have to pay them to. In order to keep, like, good reviews.
Eddie
Pay who? Like, there's like a Yelp.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah.
Eddie
Guy that comes around like, hey, it's me. Give me my bag.
Daniel Tosh
From my understanding, yes, it's corrupt as fuck. Yeah, it's weird. I mean, I'll use it sometimes, but I don't read the reviews because I know it's from amateurs, but, like, I'll use it just to see it's quick. Like, there's a phone number. There's the fucking address. Like, it's quick, but I know that it's a total monster.
Eddie
I need the photo of how far apart the tables are. I like that.
Daniel Tosh
Exactly.
Eddie
Lighting. I want to see that.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, exactly. All these people, they really put out some. Some decent content on Yelp.
Eddie
Do you travel internationally for the Old food blog?
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, so? Well, when I first started, I would seek out Michelin restaurants. I'd go to Vegas, San Fran, New York, you know, whatever, to try Michelin. Now it. You know, with kids it's a little harder, but, yeah, I've been to Paris. I've been to.
Eddie
You ever been to Septine?
Daniel Tosh
No, I haven't. I want to.
Eddie
Oh, it's garbage.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, shit. What? Really?
Eddie
No, I'm sure it's great. I'm sure I'm not bougie enough for. Was too fancy for me. All the food, everything I was eating every dish. And then my server was really being funny with me. He's like, how was that one? He's like, I was, like, a bit woodsy.
Daniel Tosh
I'm like, oh, no.
Eddie
Have you been to Japan?
Daniel Tosh
That's the one place I really want to go. I have not been to Japan. That's like, I'm saving that.
Eddie
What about Antarctica? I hear they have great food.
Daniel Tosh
Totally. Yup. Yeah.
Eddie
Settle this debate once and for all. Tell me which country has the best food.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, my gosh. I'm gonna settle this debate right now. America.
Eddie
Oh, gross.
Daniel Tosh
Listen, not really, but in America, you definitely can go to some of the best restaurants. I mean, chefs from all over the world open restaurants here.
Eddie
Where is the best chefs from? Or what type of food are they making? You're not going to just say Italy?
Daniel Tosh
I'm not going to. No. You know what?
Eddie
Speaking of. You don't think Italy has the best food in the world?
Daniel Tosh
That's objective. I mean, I think food for a while was. Because, like, that's where El Bulli came from. That's where, like, molecular gastronomy was coming from. That's where, like, real innovative things were coming from. France is, like, the foundation of French techniques. French cooking, everyone needs to know those techniques if you're going to be a chef. So that's really hard to say, but in America, we have all of it. That's the cool part.
Eddie
All right. You like a food court?
Daniel Tosh
Oh, yeah, that's my jam. Yeah.
Eddie
You ever review food trucks?
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, like, sure. Like Mexican food. You know, I don't. I mean, I don't go out of my way. I love just the experience of dining, so I don't search out food trucks. But if there's something really special happening. Yeah. Like yeasty boys bagels. Like. Yeah.
Eddie
Favorite chain restaurant that you can remember as a child that brings you, like, oh, I had some good memories eating there.
Daniel Tosh
Cheesecake Factory.
Eddie
Oh, that's a good one.
Daniel Tosh
It's so good. Like, I'll fuck with the Cheesecake Factory.
Eddie
The menu, just so thick. Who's got time to peruse 40 pages to pick a chicken club sandwich?
Oliver
I. I just like watches.
Daniel Tosh
It's. It's wild because there's so much information on that menu. It's so overwhelming. But that dark bread, that rye bread.
Eddie
Oh, not as. I don't think that bread is as good as Outback's dark bread.
Oliver
That's good.
Daniel Tosh
Okay. Yeah, no, I. I vaguely remember. Yeah.
Eddie
You're saying. No, John. No, no, I'm saying it is. I'm saying it's great. That butter, it's a little sweet. Yeah, well. And they Stuck that big fat knife in it. Well, it's good stuff.
Daniel Tosh
I mean, it's rare anyone eats bread these days, but. Yeah, I love bread.
Eddie
I love bread.
Daniel Tosh
Love bread.
Eddie
Have you ever been to an Arby's?
Daniel Tosh
No.
Eddie
Let me tell you something good about Arby's.
Daniel Tosh
Tell me.
Eddie
They have the meats that part.
Daniel Tosh
The meats?
Eddie
Yeah, that's. That's their slogan.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, really?
Eddie
Yeah. That doesn't matter.
Daniel Tosh
It's kind of fantastic.
Eddie
But that's the meats. Which is weird because they've been promoting fish lately. But that's.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, no.
Eddie
Well, whatever. Technically, it's a meat.
Daniel Tosh
Not.
Eddie
I mean, it's in the meat group. Is it not?
Daniel Tosh
That's not on my for you feed, so I haven't forget that.
Eddie
Here's what they actually, Arby's does have good French fries.
Daniel Tosh
Really?
Eddie
Curly fries season. I love a good. And you get one of those tight curlers. That's exciting.
Daniel Tosh
It's nostalgic.
Eddie
Are your kids adventurous eaters?
Daniel Tosh
They are. I will say. They're bougie eaters.
Eddie
Like, it always blows my mind. Like, my kids do it. But, like, watching my kids eat sushi, I just can't stop reflecting back to myself as a child going, I never would have in a million years put that in my mouth.
Daniel Tosh
Yes, it is very much like that. I look at them, I'm like, what? What's even happening? But they all go to sushi. They'll order ikura, caviar, toro. It's silly. Caviar is their go to.
Eddie
I mean, I like all the little cool things to put on the caviar, but I don't know if my child is like, although he didn't destroy all those snails in New Orleans, he was just all about those.
Daniel Tosh
The escargot.
Eddie
He just loved it.
Daniel Tosh
Nice.
Eddie
He loved it. He was like, this is the best. I'm like, you know, you have a book at home called Escargot, and now you're just eating them? And he's like, yeah.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, good for him. It's amazing.
Eddie
I guess. All right, so your kids will eat anything. That's pretty cool. Do your kids eat fast food?
Daniel Tosh
I mean, I don't let them. I told them this specific fast food restaurant has rats, and then they won't ever ask me to go there again. I did that.
Eddie
Did you make that up or did they actually have rats?
Daniel Tosh
To be honest with you, I. No, it's actually not a lie because if you Google it somewhere, I'm sure at some point one of them had rats. At some point. So I did not lie.
Eddie
Okay, so you're saying just one of the locations.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. So just in general, but I let them eat in and out. I let them eat in and out, and they let them eat Shake Shack. Those are the two. Anything else?
Eddie
Like, what about Chick Fil A?
Daniel Tosh
That's also like, a half. Yes, two and a half.
Eddie
You have to turn a blind eye to the gay rats that could be there.
Daniel Tosh
Yep.
Eddie
Goddamn Chick Fil A. So you're saying your kids did inherit your supertaster gene?
Daniel Tosh
I don't know. I feel like my daughter for sure. Yeah. My son's still a little picky, but might have been because I breastfed him till he was, like, embarrassing. Embarrassingly old age. I don't know.
Eddie
Why did you do that? Cause you just wanted to keep the milk going? Is that.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. No, because he just. It just happened.
Eddie
I told my wife, knock it off. At one year, I'm like, come on, let's go. Let's wind this down.
Daniel Tosh
No, I loved it. He loved it. And that's it. And it was wonderful. But he's still a really picky eater.
Eddie
Is there anything I can do to improve my palate?
Daniel Tosh
You know what?
Eddie
I'm being honest.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. Actually, I just think that experiencing different foods, trying new things, trying things you wouldn't otherwise try. If you're not familiar with certain cuisines, like, go just eat.
Eddie
Yeah, but I have a sensitive tummy. You know what I'm talking about? Things get bad quickly.
Daniel Tosh
I can recommend some holistic doctors to go to.
Eddie
No, it's never gonna work. Do you. Oh, my gosh. Can you. Your stomach's fine. You can just eat things and, like, it doesn't bother you?
Daniel Tosh
Oh, my stomach's like iron ball. Like, I could eat anything.
Unknown
Good for you.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
What's your next big enterprise that you're going to start?
Daniel Tosh
So I came up with a meringue concept called Malibu Meringue. Because meringue is so underrepresented in la.
Eddie
It's not good. That's the problem.
Daniel Tosh
I love you for saying that because I'm going to convert you into a total meringue lover.
Eddie
I love all sweets. You do for the most part. But meringue, I'm just like, ugh.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, my gosh. I'm gonna fuck you up with some truth forever. Try my. I have some. Do you wanna try it?
Eddie
Yeah. Let me try your. By the way, meringue is just. Is it three ingredients? What is it?
Daniel Tosh
It's just egg white, sugar and. Well, yeah, cream of tartar or whatever, that's it. And then whatever ingredient I put. So I don't put any artificial flavors, no dyes or anything. Like if it's a raspberry meringue, I'll put freeze dried raspberries or cabbage.
Eddie
Are they beautiful? Do you make. Are they pretty?
Daniel Tosh
You mean? Look at this.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, yeah, they're gorgeous.
Daniel Tosh
They're like little kisses.
Eddie
Is this yours?
Daniel Tosh
This is mine.
Eddie
Malibu. And where does the Malibu part of it.
Daniel Tosh
The Malibu?
Eddie
Well, why'd you come up with Malibu is what I'm saying?
Daniel Tosh
Malibu? Because it just represents like the California casual lifestyle. I get you. I live close to Malibu.
Eddie
Your plan is to get Erewhon, right?
Daniel Tosh
Yes.
Eddie
Or are they already available at Erewhon?
Daniel Tosh
So they are not available. They're not available at Erewhon because I'm rebranding. But they were available at the cheese store Beverly Hills.
Eddie
Oh, I love the cheese store Beverly Hills.
Daniel Tosh
Oh my gosh. They're just such wonderful people. Such wonder. They really take pride in really just.
Eddie
Man, it was. There's nothing better than picking up a sandwich after I leave the dentist.
Daniel Tosh
No, I agree. It's. It's the best.
Eddie
Uh huh. Well, I'm starving because I didn't eat all day and then I went to the dentist and then I get a sandwich at the cheese store.
Daniel Tosh
Exactly. It's the go to.
Eddie
Do you ever go there, just get slices of cheese and just try it?
Daniel Tosh
Hell yeah.
Eddie
Watching people do that, I'm always like, I can't do that. They just stand there and just take free samples for too long. I'm like, let's go.
Daniel Tosh
You do that and order or let.
Eddie
Me just see this for a second here. Are these different flavors now what am I looking at?
Daniel Tosh
Yes. So on the bottom is a coffee flavor.
Eddie
Gross. They don't mix. The flavors don't mix into each other if they touch you?
Daniel Tosh
No. So we have a raspberry flavor, a toast, marshmallow flavor, and yeah, this is coffee with a praline.
Eddie
Okay. So I guess I'm gonna grab for the raspberry.
Daniel Tosh
Go for it. And they're gluten free, 100% gluten free, fat free. High in protein.
Eddie
They're high in protein.
Daniel Tosh
They're really. Yeah, it's just egg white. Yeah. Which I don't care about any of those things, but a lot of people do. So it's, you know, I guess it's a selling point.
Eddie
What if I don't like it?
Daniel Tosh
Please be honest. If you don't like it. You know What? I will not like you then. I'm just kidding.
Eddie
Mmm.
Daniel Tosh
Yes. Mm.
Eddie
I guess I. I don't know how to say this there. It's not my thing.
Daniel Tosh
Okay, I can respect that.
Eddie
So chewy.
Daniel Tosh
Yes. But also so. Just the perfect amount of sweetness and lightness.
Eddie
Oh, it's intense. So much raspberry.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah, I had so much raspberry. I love that part.
Eddie
It's so much raspberry.
Daniel Tosh
Ah.
Eddie
Do any of you guys eat these? If I'm in Europe.
Daniel Tosh
See, if you're in Europe, they're everywhere.
Eddie
How much are you gonna sell a bag of this for?
Daniel Tosh
I mean, it's, like, around $16.
Eddie
That is so much taste in such a small little package.
Daniel Tosh
I love that. I'm gonna. I'm gonna use that.
Eddie
No, you're not.
Daniel Tosh
So much taste. And it's just.
Eddie
And this one has marshmallow in it. I don't like marshmallow.
Daniel Tosh
It's just marshmallow.
Eddie
And I don't like. It's just marshmallow.
Daniel Tosh
Meringue literally is essentially marshmallow minus the gelatin.
Eddie
I hate marshmallows.
Daniel Tosh
You know what I hate? Gummy bears. So if you offered me gummy bears.
Eddie
You know what gummy bears are made from? Like, from pig hooves.
Daniel Tosh
I don't like the texture. They're all.
Eddie
Oh, I know. That's what I'm just saying. Or isn't it pig hooves or snout or something? I don't know what.
Daniel Tosh
I don't want to know where the sauce. What? The sausage is made. What the hell?
Eddie
I know. Sausage we know is made from pigs. It's just weird to think gummy bears are also made from pigs.
Daniel Tosh
I know. I know.
Oliver
It's an amazing animal.
Eddie
Meringues.
Oliver
Try the coffee one.
Eddie
I'm not gonna try the coffee one. I don't like coffee.
Daniel Tosh
Try the marshmallow one.
Eddie
I don't like marshmallows.
Daniel Tosh
But it's just vanilla.
Eddie
It's just vanilla. All right, I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try another one. But let me tell you something. I love it. I could be on the verge of willies. You're gonna love it. I get the willies sometimes.
Daniel Tosh
Not the willies. I don't know what that means, but when you bite into it, it's like.
Eddie
It's.
Unknown
Ah.
Eddie
Guess what, though.
Daniel Tosh
Tell me. Tell me.
Eddie
I like this one more.
Daniel Tosh
Woo.
Oliver
Less intense, Right?
Eddie
Mm. But it's still.
Daniel Tosh
Is it the. It's the texture?
Eddie
I don't know what it is. I think it's the taste.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. You know What? Everyone has their own taste. People that love meringue love it. I am one of those. I'm obsessed with meringue. It's like, my mission.
Eddie
Do you like chocolate?
Daniel Tosh
I don't.
Eddie
I love chocolate.
Daniel Tosh
See, we're all so different, and that's what makes the world go around. And it's beautiful, Right?
Eddie
But it's not good for business.
Daniel Tosh
No, it's fine because there's plenty of people like me. There's plenty of people like you.
Eddie
Here. Get this over here.
Daniel Tosh
It's just a fine. Oh, Stephanie.
Eddie
Wow.
Daniel Tosh
Are you. Are you full now?
Eddie
No, I'm not full. There's a lot of. Is there a lot of.
Daniel Tosh
A lot of sugar?
Eddie
Oh, man.
Daniel Tosh
It's mainly sugar and egg white.
Eddie
Now, as an attractive woman, do you feel like you have to be an Erewhon? Because Erewhon only allows hot girls to shop in there 100%.
Daniel Tosh
Yeah. Yeah. If you're not hot, just don't. I'm just kidding. No, I mean, it's. It's. It's the way where it's located, and.
Eddie
It'S like every time it's.
Stephanie
The people in Erewhon are more beautiful.
Eddie
It's the one place to go in, to feel. Just. By the way, if you ever returned any of your bottles to Erewhon, the jars.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, I keep them.
Eddie
They give you substantial money if you bring them back. They do, yes. I've never done it. I've got a whole cabinet full of Erewhon things from my sauces and things that we. They got a Bolognese that we like.
Daniel Tosh
Anyway, I like their biscottis. I do like their biscottis in the thing. Yeah.
Eddie
You like desserts that don't taste good.
Oliver
That's funny.
Daniel Tosh
But I do. I do fuck with Erewhon. I do like Erewhon.
Eddie
I mean, maybe if a biscotti's dunked in dark chocolate.
Daniel Tosh
Dunked? Yeah. Dunked it. Or coffee. But you don't. You don't do coffee.
Eddie
No, I don't. I know. By the way, I know that I'm wrong, that I'm not the one that's right here at this table. You're the more sophisticated one. Your palate is the super taster. I'm just. I'm just trying to learn. Everybody that's on the show gets a gift. It's just stuff I take from my house. I thought you would like this heart sweatshirt, oversized. You're gonna wear it. You're gonna love it.
Daniel Tosh
That's so cute.
Eddie
I'm too old to wear A sweatshirt with something on it. Yeah, you know, whatever. So that somebody got me this. We have a rule in our house where I don't like things with words on it. So this is a Malibu pillow.
Daniel Tosh
A re gift.
Eddie
Yeah, no, all of it's re gifts.
Daniel Tosh
I love that. That's the best.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my gosh.
Daniel Tosh
Thank you so much.
Eddie
Oh, you're so welcome.
Daniel Tosh
I love things with words on it. So you're.
Eddie
Well. And that's. I'm sure it's here.
Daniel Tosh
Oh. Oh, no, no, no. I don't fuck with Twizzlers.
Eddie
This isn't Twizzlers. This is Red Vines.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, shit.
Eddie
Red Vines. Words. Here's. No, this I just need your help with.
Daniel Tosh
Okay.
Eddie
Okay. Now, what you do with it after this gift is. I don't care. You can give it to my dog. See what happens.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, no.
Eddie
This was in my home. And the other day I saw that there was a brand new one, and I said to my wife, what are you doing? And she says, those are old and they're not good anymore. I said, red Vines never expire. I go, there's no way they taste any different. And she says, oh, they do taste different. It's something. When she's watching a movie, you know, it's like they have a thing. It's more of a display on. On the bar area. Whatever. My question to you is, can you tell that these things are way past their expiration with your super taster ability?
Daniel Tosh
Oh, this is a challenge. I shall.
Eddie
And you don't do. And you hate a Red Vine.
Daniel Tosh
I hate a red wine.
Eddie
Oh, you're going to hate this. Okay, just take a tiniest. Take the smallest bite ever.
Daniel Tosh
Oh. Oh, my God.
Eddie
Is that bad? Is my wife right?
Daniel Tosh
It's like chewing on rubber. Like, it's not even flavored. Well.
Eddie
Well, sure. It's a Red Vine. It's not like Twizzlers. Twizzlers got the flavor. Red Vines. Red Vines. You know, I'm talking about war candy. This is war candy.
Daniel Tosh
No, this will out outlast a bomb.
Eddie
So you're saying it's not bad. All right. Your kids will love this. Send that home to them. Give that to your kids.
Daniel Tosh
I will, graciously.
Eddie
I'll take you the one that you already snacked on. But you have to keep the rest of that.
Daniel Tosh
Okay.
Eddie
Please set that on the floor. I can't have it on my desk. Do you order dessert every time you're at a restaurant or.
Daniel Tosh
No, every time you have to.

Okay.

You can't finish a meal and not have something sweet. A little treat.

You don't drink alcohol with your meals or.

I've been getting into. I mean, wine. Yes.
Eddie
Wine. Yes.
Daniel Tosh
A little bit of wine. Especially a pairing. I do love a pairing. But the whole way through.
Eddie
Don't you get trashed? It's too much alcohol.

Eddie
Is that acceptable?
Daniel Tosh
Yes. Yeah. That's what I do. I don't want to. I'm not trying to get fucked up at a dinner. Like, I just want to enjoy myself. You know what I'm saying? But cocktails, I mean, they're doing some innovative cocktail stuff now, so. Yeah. I have a girlfriend that's a cocktail connoisseur, and she just orders for me. And I love it.
Eddie
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
I don't finish them, but I love it. It's for toasting. It's for, like, looking cute. Right. Take a cute picture with a cocktail.
Eddie
But do you ever camp?
Daniel Tosh
No.
Eddie
You've never camped?
Daniel Tosh
No, Nor do I ever want to. I mean, I have. I've done it before when I was little. Against my will. I don't know. Not for me.
Eddie
All right.
Oliver
No.
Eddie
I had an argument for you, but I don't think you're gonna use it.
Daniel Tosh
Try me.
Eddie
Well, it was. Somebody bought me this for my birthday. It's a backcountry bathroom. You strap it to a tree so that you can go to the bathroom and it holds you in. And they thought that I could use this, and I said, I don't. First of all, whenever I'm in this situation, I don't have time to set up.
Oliver
You're grabbing a.
Eddie
You understand what I'm saying? Yeah. It's got a little graphic of how it works. Look. See?
Daniel Tosh
Oh. Oh, wow.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah. So you got a crap in the woods. So you throw this thing around a tree, and then it harnesses you and it says it can hold up to £400.
Daniel Tosh
I. Wow. Was this a shark tank?
Eddie
I mean, I don't know what it was on.
Daniel Tosh
Listen, I'd invest. I'd invest.
Eddie
I'm not giving it to you.
Daniel Tosh
I wouldn't use it, but I'd invest.
Eddie
I know I'm going to find someone that needs to crap in the woods.
Daniel Tosh
I hope you find that first.
Eddie
I will. Do you hate always having to figure out where you're gonna eat?
Daniel Tosh
No, I love it.
Eddie
Okay.
Daniel Tosh
It's my favorite thing to do.
Eddie
How many nights a week do you go to a restaurant?
Daniel Tosh
I've really just slowed down in the past few years. Like maybe one to two. I can't do any more than that now.
Eddie
What about lunch?
Daniel Tosh
Same.
Eddie
You only go to one to two restaurants a week or. No, there's no way you.
Daniel Tosh
I do have. Like, I have to go get my little treat. Like, I have to go get my little coffee treat or my little treat, you know, but like a full on tasting experience. When I'm reviewing something, I like to narrow it down to like two to three. Three at. It's a lot. And it gets to you because I do everything. I do the editing, I do the captioning, the whole process, so. And also the eating. You know, it's a lot. And I'm kind of an extremist in that sense, in the food sense that I'm eating either everything or I'm like intermittent fasting.
Eddie
Yeah, I don't. Like all. I mean, it sounds great until you're like, oh, I actually have to do all this work.
Daniel Tosh
It's a shit ton of work. And, you know, people see that. People see, like, oh, you know, the skinny girl is just like, shoving carbs in her face and like, this bitch.
Eddie
I know that I'm wrong, that I'm not the one that's right here at this table. You're the more sophisticated one. Your palate is the super taster. I'm just trying to learn.
Daniel Tosh
You never know.
Eddie
I'll get it. I'm gonna do palate exercises at home.
Daniel Tosh
That's right. You blindfold, you try things, and then you're like, oh, I can pick out this ingredient or that.
Eddie
Are you into food kinks?
Daniel Tosh
I don't. What? No. What? I don't even know what that is.
Eddie
Well, you brought up blindfold, and it just made me think. You're so passionate about food. It's your number one thing. I'm just wondering if you've ever been in a situation where you're like, oh, I like to bring food into the bedroom.
Daniel Tosh
No. You can keep those things very separate. Although food is very sensual. It's very sensual. And, you know that's.
Eddie
I know what I'm getting you for Christmas. Edible Arrangement.
Daniel Tosh
Oh, are they not canceled yet?
Eddie
No. I think they might be struggling for other reasons.
