Hi, everybody, and welcome to Munchies.
I am your host Toni, and this is my wonderful guest Rachel Bloom.
Uh, this is a show where we get high, and then we make whatever munchies.
I have to be honest with you, we're doing edibles today.
-Rachel, requested-- That we did. -I requested.
Well, we did a bit of a gummy. We did a quarter...
-Half of a quarter. -I did...
-I did a half of a quarter of a gummy. -So did I.
I'm at a part like before you actually feel it, where I'm like,
"Am I high?" And then you forget to like...
No-no, when you're high there's no doubt.
When you do get high like what are some munchies that you like to...
-Or do you like salty or savory or... -Carbs.
-Oh, me too. -Just carbs.
So like whether it's cake, pasta...
I also love potatoes.
Um, when... This is going to sound really haughty.
So my husband and I were in Paris...
-Anytime time you say I was in Paris-- -Ooh, I see.
--it sounds like, just go fuck yourself.
-Ah fuck. I'm really high as shit. -Oh no.
No it's fine. I'm not like sad high. It's great.
-No obscenity. -We...
[laughing]
Don't worry. I'm not sad everyone.
[theme music]
-So we're in Paris-- -And we went to this restaurant,
and they made this provincial thing called aligot,
which is basically cheesy mashed potatoes.
But they literally, there was so much cheese in this buttery mashed potatoes,
-it stretched like rubber. -Oh my gosh.
And I've made it for a couple of Thanksgivings, and I just end up only eating my own aligot.
That sounds great. Are you in the mood for that?
-Oh my God. -Do we do it?
Did we decide?
Yay!
-What is it called again? -Aligot. A-L-I-G-O-T.
♪ ♪
We got it.
I um... need to fuckin' lay down for 10 minutes.
You wanna lay down? That's absolutely great.
I could also like start in on it.
You sit on the couch. I'll start in on this. I'll get this going. Absolutely.
Is this the right amount of potatoes?
[Toni]: We don't know.
-We only need four? -No. No. Four?
Four and medium. This isn't... Serves four people you get one potato?
Yeah, but then it's like, alright you get one potato.
Which one? This one or this one.
-Uh-huh. -You know what I mean?
Okay. Great. Four medium. Boom. We are sailing through this.
I'm going to do my impression of a normal person.
When I'm usually normal, I say,
"Everyone look at me. I'm normal."
Wash 'em.
-It's important. -Uh-huh.
I'm going to help you as soon as I can.
I'm going so slow.

-Hey, did you peel it? -No.
I'm... I'm going to peel it. I should've peeled it.
-That's what I thought. -Nobody said anything.
As soon as I can move my hands, I'm going to help you.
[Toni]: I love it.
So we're just going to drop them in the water,
and then we'll bring them to a nice steady heat.
Here, let me try to help.
-Oh no. -You're doing good.
Can I try to lay one in myself--
-Yes. ---Like a big girl?
-[Rachel]: I did it. -[Toni]: That's great.
Uh oh...
She's in action.
Once she steps in she's got it.
Now two cloves, is this like a clove or like, is this like...
No. Two cloves is just like the two little beads... bead things.
Oh, I put a bunch more than that in.
What?
-I gotta sit back down. -Great.
-That took a lot of energy. -It's a tough cheese.
[Rachel]: My hands smell like cheese. Oh, it's kind of a stinky cheese,
but it'll be good in the mashed potatoes.
Yeah. Heavy cream.
It's been out a little while. That's a fun treat.
I think I've been this high in...
-A long time. -Long time.
[Toni]: If you're cooking along at home, go ahead and give it a potato check.
Oh yeah. Definitely should've left them in.
-Let's see how dry it looks. -Like you can feel the dryness to it.
Oh shit.
[Rachel]: Seems like we need more potatoes in here.
[Toni]: Yeah. Like, they're like...
Two, four medium like, that's insane.
It's not hot, like this isn't going to melt butter.
Okay.
-Okay. Yeah. It's getting better. -Yes?
Alright, we want a little butter... Okay, yeah?
Yeah, let's have some.
We did it. Yay.
Uh, I haven't tasted it. I feel like you were a great chef.
-You tasted it as we went. -Yeah.
So we'll see if this is not the consistency it should be, but...
"It should be rubber" is what you kept saying.
I mean, it's not great.
But I'm still high. I mean, it's still delicious actually.
I love it. I feel like it kind of grows on you.
-Would you serve this to someone? -No.
