Voice Acting Journey and Challenges
00:00:09
Think Fresh
That's a beautiful belch. Dude, you got to revisit the masterclass on voice acting, Ty. What happened with that? Did you stop? I did. Well, I finished it. Oh, masterclass. You graduated? I am an alumni. Voice acting is hard though, Eric. You have to practice it. And despite recording this podcast twice a week, I do not practice emphasizing my words. So maybe I'll do that for this episode. Would you like that?
00:00:38
Think Fresh
I'm trying my best. That's so disgusting. Sucks for you. Imagine being the listener.
00:00:51
Think Fresh
They're paying us for this. That's crazy. Dude, that's crazy.

Exploring Tesla Robots
00:01:31
Think Fresh
sale. Thank you for listening. Bye.
00:01:33
Think Fresh
ah We have a banger of an episode today. Do we? Yeah, of course we do. We always do. And the first thing that I need to discuss with you is the Tesla robots. Oh, okay. I know we talked about them a little bit a few weeks ago when they were going live or being announced by Papa Musk.
00:01:54
Think Fresh
But I had a really inquisitive realization last night, and I need to pick your brain on this. There's many ways I could go. Clearly, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Hey, Squidward, let's hear it. Okay. That was good. That was a good one. Thank you. Thank you. The Tesla robots are cord free. They just walk around, right? They're wireless, like a phone or a Mac or a computer.
00:02:25
Think Fresh
How the hell do you charge these things? I know where it's going, guys. Dude, there's so many places you could plug it in. Which one do you think they're going to pick? Huh.
00:02:38
Think Fresh
Think about it. you could you like Okay, it's so funny because there's a user experience aspect to this that could either be hilarious, perverse, or boring. And I hope they go with the hilarious route. The perverse route is obviously up the butt, like just sticking a cord up the robot's butt cheeks. Also funny. Okay, that's enough.
00:03:00
Think Fresh
I think the only way for this to work and for it to hit like massive heal is to go away with the charging and the human. This is kind of dystopian, but the human has to provide all of the energy for the robot. Okay. Wait, am I eating for two now?
00:03:18
Think Fresh
No, you got to jerk it off. No, I don't want to. try You got to create a thermal energy to charge it. All right. Friction. Exactly. Oh no. Do the robots have genitalia? I feel like there's a pro model that's going to be like full maxbased yeah yeah a well-endowed model. I'm the pro max Tesla. Damn. In dark mode.
00:03:45
Think Fresh
Yeah. It's like, yes, the robot is, you can speak and it can, and it can do everyday tasks, but is it well hung? I'm not leaving it alone with my wife. That's for sure. No, dude. It's ah coming with me on my hands. I'm taking, it I'm taking the battery out of that thing. I'm not leaving it alone with her. Yeah.
00:04:05
Think Fresh
ah Dude, the Tesla robot is kind of crazy. So can people actually just buy one and have it do the dishes or something? like What is the actual use for it? I think right now they're just selling a dream. I don't think there's any product that exists yet. This is all in the R and&D department. They're looking for pre-orders
Analyzing Subway's Food and Practices
00:04:21
Think Fresh
is what you're saying. yeah They're going Cybertruck on us. Yeah, exactly. They're um trying to go fund me themselves.
00:04:27
Think Fresh
and but um I thought about this more and like obviously they could stick the charger in the mouth. That'd be pretty funny. Yeah. Or an ear or on the neck like Frankenstein. Yeah. Yeah. But I think the best way to charge it.
00:04:44
Think Fresh
Cause it's the most human way to give life to something is through the belly button. Oh, listeners won't know this, but I just put my legs in the air. Like I was giving birth. No, I think, I think you should be able to charge it by the belly button. Stop doing that. It's gross. I think the belly button is really fun and a cool idea because that's how a mama bear feeds the young. Yeah. That makes so much sense.
00:05:15
Think Fresh
And I think that's probably the way they should do it, to be honest. But I'll give you one more, okay? How do you we take breaks? We sit down. Oh, we sit down. We sit down. I'm thinking a wireless charging mat.
00:05:28
Think Fresh
on a chair, and then the robot has to sit in the chair. It's kind of cool, right? That is cool. It's just sitting here. It's just resting for a second. I just need to sit down for a second. Yeah, exactly. That is great skew-morphism. Totally. There's no reason for it to ever sit, right? It's a robot. But when it's sitting, you know it's charging.
00:05:45
Think Fresh
That's so smart, Eric. yeah Of course. And it's so human. Yeah, exactly. Oh, the robot's just taking a seat. It'll be up shortly when it's feeling ready. Yeah, and that's kind of a cool way to like see that it's done. It just stands up. It's ready for action. I'm ready to serve. Wow. That's right, because otherwise you would need like some sort of colored LED light, like a TikToker's bedroom, kind of glowing around it, to ah to know what state it's in. If it's low battery. A Twitch streamer. Yeah, exactly. I got it, yeah.
00:06:15
Think Fresh
I think, yeah, sitting down on a wireless charging mat, fuck it, throw your Apple Watch on there, too. It charges everything. Dude, you can throw your Apple Watch on the robot's wrist to charge it. Can you wear this for a bit and just juice it for me? What do you think would happen if you put the Vision Pro on the robot? but Whoa. Would it just live in its own world and like not know what's happening and, I don't know, start developing World War III in a fake universe?
00:06:44
Think Fresh
This is a very weird situation because you're giving the robot the same power and autonomy that the human gets in our world. You might teach it things about itself that it's not supposed to know. 100%. It's like if you had, it's kind of like when the sandwich artist gets to make lunch for themselves.
00:07:02
Think Fresh
ah They have all the tools. They have all the tools. they have and But they just didn't know that they could have they could had free will. You're basically giving the robot free will, Eric. Whoa, yeah. They broke the fourth wall. Yeah. Dude, there has to be a perk working at Subway where you make your own sandwich for free.
00:07:19
Think Fresh
I'm assuming that's a perk. We've assumed it for a long time. We've never asked a sandwich artist. It's probably a per-franchise thing. And I think next time we go there, we have to ask. We'll inquire, like, what are your
Benefits of Cycling
00:07:31
Think Fresh
perks? Do you get health care or a free sandwich? Yeah. Hey, let's, between you and me, I'm looking at applying. What's the deal here? Should I or not? I don't care about dental or overtime pay. Just tell me what lunch looks like. Yeah, I know a chiropractor is not going to crack my back for free. Yeah. Okay. I need some, I need like a nutritionist. That's it. Do you think that's a way they give you a nutritionist as a part of the compensation package? Like free subscription to Weight Watchers. Yeah. And maybe a few mental health apps to deal with the trauma.
00:08:08
Think Fresh
yeah Yeah. Do we get the corporate 10% off Headspace at Subway? Use code, Brad Head. Yeah, use code, Brad Head. I'm assuming there's a nutritionalist on staff servicing the employees of Subway at some elevation of the company. I just don't think it's the artists that are getting that. there They're the pawns of Subway. They're the ground floor, meat to be chewed up, BMT meat.
00:08:40
Think Fresh
It's like the big fat corporate heads that are getting the nutritional list and they're like, yeah, at HQ. So you got all these suits being told, don't eat at Subway if you want to get healthier. Can you imagine? It's like the CEO going to his like quarterly nutritionist appointment. It's like, all right, what do you got for me today, doc? It's like,
00:09:01
Think Fresh
You got to stop on a subway like tomorrow, like immediately. That's crazy. We will die in six months, Ty, if you keep beating that subway. Yeah, for sure. And they're like, we paid $15 million dollars to SoulCycle's dietary consultancy program to learn this. Yeah, no shit. Wow.
00:09:20
Think Fresh
I do think though, speaking of full cycle tired, that I am getting in better shape from cycling. I've been eating salads with you. I've been riding my bike. I feel like I'm losing weight. I feel better than ever. Dude, I'm so glad to hear it. The problem with cycling is you only lose weight from the waist down. I don't think so. You're burning like 3000 calories. If you're going on a long ride. Yeah. How long is a long ride?
00:09:41
Think Fresh
I did like 75K last week. That's a long run. And one go. Wow. And that's only 3000 calories. I don't actually know how many. I could probably look it up, but I'm not going to. That's like one serving of sweet onion sauce. That's a day's worth of food, isn't it? That's basically what I'm saying. Okay. The sauce is doing the most. That's our boy. The sauce is gonna yeah put fat on your tummy.
00:10:06
Think Fresh
Wow, that's pretty good, Eric. Good for you. Salads are where it's at. You said in the last episode, right before it started, you said, Ty, you have a child's diet. Do you remember that? You said you have the diet of a child. I said that before we hit record. I know. And now you're bringing it up youre bringing up your recent trauma on the episode. It's been sitting with me this whole time.
00:10:29
Think Fresh
I don't have the diet of a child, Eric. I didn't say you have the diet of a child. I said you love kids food. And that's not wrong. Like, you were so enamored with this Franken cookie that you just ate. But you were like analyzing it. And yeah, I get it. We're food influencers tied, and you need to know your shit. It's novel. It's novel. And you got to know what you're eating. So we could talk about it. It's a work meal, dude. It wasn't a pleasure. Yeah, I might. My wife gave it to you.
00:10:55
Think Fresh
Um, that's one less cookie for me is all I gotta say. I'm so sorry. No, but you love kids food and I think it's pretty obvious. I completely disagree. I hate kids food. I love salads and beer. Two things children hate. Okay. You think as a kid goes to Subway, they're getting the veggie patty? No, dude, they're getting three types of deli meats and mayo and mustard. Guess whose favorite sandwich that is? Yours, Eric, your favorite sandwich. You know why, Ty? Because it's arguably the best sandwich.
00:11:25
Think Fresh
You think children just know what good food is? They're like, I love Chef Boyardee and eating gummy bears for dinner and the BMT with mayo. indeed Chef BMT, it is the BMT is the Boyardee of sandwiches, that's for sure. But I don't know if Boyardee is kind of like changing the goalposts here. If you had a kid who was also a vegetarian,
00:11:50
Think Fresh
Yes, you would have to order the veggie deli at Subway. What are you talking about? I think they would just get a bread and mayo sandwich. Maybe. I don't think the veggie deli appeals to anybody. Yeah, bread, mayo, cookies inside. Yes. Yes. Why did I do that? You caught me. Gotcha. You got me. You got him. Dude, I can see you like, damn, I want to try that. Yeah, that sounds pretty good. Yeah. A little sweet, a little salty. That's right.
00:12:18
Think Fresh
What did we get last time when we were there? I think we had the churro and the pretzel. I think you ordered the pretzel though and I ordered the churro. I'll never get either again. No, terrible. It's terrible. I don't even know if they offered it anymore. I hope they discontinued it. and through I hope they rounded up and burnt all the churros. Not even a dumpster dyer diver has to eat that. Here's the problem Ty. I feel like they don't have any, like,
00:12:44
Think Fresh
post or like pre-launch user testing or analysis going on. Straight to market. It's fucking i it's from deck to market. Wow. They just send the deck. The PDF goes straight to their factory. Yeah. And they just print a 3D churro. I think so. I feel um feeling if whatever, the creative director of the menu tried the churro before going live. He'd be like, this is not good. We can't launch this. I don't think anyone tried it before it hit stores. There's no possible way. Definitely not. Yeah, you're right. I mean, we only had it once, so it's possible that the place we had it just disagreed with the concept, so they made it shitty on purpose. Mm-hmm. They didn't get on board. They were on vacation that day. Yeah, totally. They were doing their own jury duty, doing their community service. Yeah.
00:13:29
Think Fresh
um Yeah, they were dealing with the fentanyl users outside. Yeah, exactly. um I swear if they tried... the pretzel, they tried the churro, they wouldn't have gone live with that. you That assumes that there is a threshold of quality that Subway is trying to hit with their food. I don't know if I would call it a threshold of quality. I would call it more like, I like it. Is it good? Is it is it even consumable? Like the churro is verging on unchewable. Yeah.
00:14:00
Think Fresh
Yeah, it's like ah eating a dinner or a dish sponge. Yeah, it was. yeah I think we still remember the texture. It had like ah almost like a pop to it. It would bounce back after you chew it down. It wouldn't break apart. It was almost like our mewing gum. Yeah, dude. It's a Greek churro. Yeah, dude. Anyone who eats those every day is going to have just be chiseled. Chiseled in the jaw, round in the tummy.
00:14:28
Think Fresh
That's awesome. Yeah, but the football and cookie is another story, Ty. That, as twisted as that is, I think that is very good. It is weirdly good. It is it's so sweet, but so like satisfied.
00:14:46
Think Fresh
sir I think it's perfect for like the U11 women's soccer team that comes in the subway once once a year. That's for them. You know what I mean? They split it. They split it amongst the whole team. It feeds the whole team. Exactly. No one man should tackle that alone. I agree. Yeah, we have to try the ghost pepper bread. We're going to have to do this when you're back from Italy.
Planning Travel as a Podcaster
00:15:13
Think Fresh
Yeah. 100%. Well, having said that, breadheads, I need to go hop on a flight to Italy. So. Okay. This is shorty today. Yeah. A little bit of a short shorty. Yeah, dude. Ty has to email like three to four more Lorenzo's and Giovanni's. Yeah. I got a couple of Giacomo's. jacomoss and holotas and marcos Oh, it's so confusing. I'm i'm in correspondence with a guy named. Yeah. He's going to help me with some accommodation. I feel like you need to.
00:15:47
Think Fresh
Get the Amex Platinum and have like a travel concierge just book everything for you because I think they can do that Yeah, why am I wasting my time planning? That's a just hired like one class below me job exactly, dude I'm a public figure, I'm a podcaster. Somebody who doesn't have 377 episodes of a podcast should be doing that for you. Yeah, I clearly don't have time to do that. Exactly. I need to be here. They would book your car, your hotel, your flights, they would connect all the dots for you. All you got to worry about is, is this villa, villissimo enough for me? Mm-hmm, focus on the vibe, focus on the culture.
00:16:26
Think Fresh
That's what I'm being paid for. You're kind of there for a business trip if you think about it. you You're there to make some decisions. Yeah, I'm also there to for procure some new content for this podcast. refresh It's this the eat fresh, refresh. no damn Thank God you don't have the corporate card in your wallet because we would be fucked. Do you mind if I borrow yours? No.
00:16:48
Think Fresh
Dude, I need, you know, every like once in a while you just need to like reset your baseline of what good pasta is supposed to taste like. And then after that you drift apart and then before you know it, you're like eating Annies for lunch and you're like, what, how did I get here? Yeah. When it's been more than a year since your last Roman pasta dish, you're doing things like creamed cashews and shit like that. Dude, nonsense. I love creaming my cashews, but. Dude, just put some Parmigiano in there like man. Okay. Whatever.
00:17:16
Think Fresh
Don't knock until you try it. I'll spray some extra cashews for you one day. Okay. Perfect. Yeah. Let's go. If you can, uh, I don't know how you'll prepare it for me, but I'll just let you do whatever. Two. us Yeah. Omakase at Tai's house. And for your appetizer, here's one cashew plop. Foreshadowing.
00:17:37
Think Fresh
