My Wife's Single Cousin | Tosh Show

Quick Overview

Daniel Tosh and Eddie recap the final podcast of 2025, focusing heavily on Tosh's family dinner at The French Laundry, which cost over $8,300 for eight people after prepayments, and the subsequent segment where they solicit bizarre dating prospects for Tosh's wife's cousin, Panda.

Key Points: Tosh recounted a family trip to The French Laundry, secured by former guest Sarah Foot, where the reservation for seven unexpectedly accommodated eight people, including John, who was going to culinary school. The total cost for the meal for eight people exceeded $8,300 because the cost of the meal was prepaid upon reservation, and the final bill only covered upcharges and incidentals. During dinner, Tosh performed, noted servers stealing knives with backstories, and experienced excellent dessert presentation where five items arrived simultaneously. The show solicited voicemails for Tosh's wife's cousin, Panda, resulting in applicants like Bill (37, 5'10", over 300 lbs, rode a horse once) and Colby (47, who called back to break up with her due to his age for child-making). One caller, Andy, a veterinarian from Manhattan Beach who voted for Kamala and loves horses, was considered a potential winner for Panda because he was local and interested in kids. Eddie's associate, Hutch, called in to retract his interest in Panda after seeing a picture of her with a swollen eye, despite initially being interested. Tosh promoted his farewell tour tickets, priced between $80 to $120, and mentioned patreon.com/tosh for $5 access.

Context: This episode of The Tosh Show features host Daniel Tosh and co-host Eddie the Hitman Gosling wrapping up their final podcast for 2025. The main segment revolves around Tosh detailing an extravagant dinner experience with his family at The French Laundry in Napa, followed by a recurring segment where they review voicemails from men applying to date Tosh's wife's cousin, referred to as Panda.

Detailed Analysis

The podcast begins with Tosh and Eddie noting the final recording of 2025, with Tosh joking about making his wife write a top 10 list of improvements. The primary narrative focuses on Tosh's family dining at The French Laundry, a dream experience made possible by a former guest, Sarah Foot, who secured a reservation for seven. Tosh detailed the family's excitement, including Eric and Dr. Jocelyn leaving their three-month-old with sitters. A last-minute addition, John (who is in culinary school), was added to the party, pushing the count to eight, despite initial resistance from the restaurant management, though the hostess and manager ultimately accommodated them, much to Tosh's satisfaction regarding Pete, who handled the booking issues. Tosh praised the food, the attentive service involving multiple servers per course, and the unique presentation of knives with backstories. The shock came with the bill: the initial receipt looked manageable at $2,600 for eight, but Tosh discovered the full cost, including the required prepayment for the meal itself, totaled over $8,300, which he compared to the cost of his first car. Following the dinner recap, they reviewed voicemails from potential suitors for Panda, ranging from a 300+ lb engineer who rode a horse once, to a 47-year-old named Colby who called back a day later to withdraw his application because he felt his 'baby making days are behind me.' The hosts concluded the dating segment by favoring Andy, a veterinarian from Manhattan Beach who is liberal and loves horses, while Eddie's acquaintance, Hutch, withdrew his candidacy after seeing a photo of Panda with a swollen eye.
