My Yeastie Boy - Evan Fox | Tosh Show

Quick Overview

The podcast segment concludes with Daniel Tosh and guest Evan Fox discussing the logistics and cultural impact of Evan's bagel business, Yeastie Boys, including the challenges of managing truck maintenance, customer expectations, and the surprising success of their bagels despite harsh local water quality in LA, contrasting with the perceived quality of New York bagels.

Key Points: Evan Fox revealed that his bagel business, Yeastie Boys, started in 2014 and faced significant challenges, including having only one truck operating out of a small apartment kitchen. The quality of LA water is cited as a negative factor for baking bagels, contrasting with the soft water in New York which is perceived to make better bagels. The host, Daniel Tosh, revealed he had to give Evan his sister-in-law's number to help him secure a new truck after the original one broke down. Evan Fox stated that their initial success was due to being highly visible and aggressively marketing, leading to lines for their bagels that sometimes stretched 100 yards. The podcast discussed the high cost of maintaining the trucks, noting that one truck cost $150 to fix after a mechanical failure, which was compared to the cost of a portable toilet. Tosh confirmed that his personal favorite Yeastie Boys bagel is the sesame and egg, while Evan prefers the poppy seed bagel. The conversation wrapped up with the revelation that the business is now expanding, with plans to open a ninth truck location soon in the Deep Valley area.
