thinkfresh: I love this. It's a ride along, if you will.
Ty Fresh: ah ah so
thinkfresh: kind of like when sorry ty it's Kind of like when your sandwich artist's train has left the station and you're just inching to your left, you know, just to keep up with him because he's speeding along.
Ty Fresh: okay
Ty Fresh: and
thinkfresh: He's adding the meats. He's adding the veggies. That's us right now. We're showing you our meat and you have to buy something.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, here's how the sausage was made. I do I do find sometimes the sandwich artists is pulling me along.
thinkfresh: but
Ty Fresh: Other times I feel like I'm pulling the sandwich artists along like they don't want to add anything to my sandwich. They're taking their time. I'm up in the next section.
thinkfresh: That's right.
Ty Fresh: I'm picking out which veggies I want. And they're still delicately, ah ah like aligning the cheese.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm. I know, dude. Can you imagine, though, like we got ThinkFresh merchandise before GTA six. That's that's crazy, bro.
Ty Fresh: That's crazy. Wow.
thinkfresh: OK, let's walk let's walk through some of the products here. um I guess, you know, we're talking about collection zero zero one right now. So let's start at the very top.
Ty Fresh: who Yeah, fall winter 24 drop. ah Obviously, you can't have a first drop without a logo T. um We have a very tasteful think fresh logo in the white and yellow colorway. And you can get that thing on spinach, green, black, all of black or white, red, white, all are excellent options.
thinkfresh: That's right, man. um Second to that, this is one of my personal favorites. um We have the BMT.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm
thinkfresh: That is also a t -shirt. On the front, it says, this is this might be an Eric kind of special right here, because this is one's obviously dedicated to our meatheads.
thinkfresh: But on the very front of the shirt, it says, BMT Enjoyer. And then on the back, we have a list of ingredients. and I'm pretty sure I ordered this exact sandwich yesterday.
Ty Fresh: You did
thinkfresh: If I'm being 100 % honest with you, I had mayo and mustard on there and parmesan. The only thing I didn't get was cucumber.
Ty Fresh: you did
thinkfresh: um breadheads you
Ty Fresh: But I would say this is your goated sandwich. like this is your If you have a go -to, we're looking at it on the back of the BMT Enjoyer t -shirt.
thinkfresh: 100 percent. And maybe that's an idea for the future tie. Maybe both of us should have like like ah there should be like an Eric shirt and like a tie shirt kind of like a Uncle Trump and Kamala like head to head.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm.
thinkfresh: It's like or like the tip jar that you got to vote with your tips like that'll be us like whichever T gets more sales then we know who your who your favorite host is.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm.
Ty Fresh: Wow. ah What I like about the BMT Enjoyer t shirt, Eric is all of the ingredients you would put in an ideal BMT are on the back. So as a subway customer, put the shirt on, head to your local way and just turn around. They'll do the rest.
thinkfresh: I love that, dude. That is so fucking sick, actually. And then at the when they get to the very bottom, they go, what is Tinkfresh podcast?
Ty Fresh: Yeah.
Ty Fresh: look it up I'm not it's not my job to educate you dude
thinkfresh: Get up. Damn, that's so sick. um What else do we have here, Ty?
Ty Fresh: well we also I'd like to introduce a new colorway the blue cheese variety that's that's special for this season um it's the perfect it's it's Virgil blue essentially
thinkfresh: I love that, dude. Yeah, very internet inspired.
Ty Fresh: You still there, Eric?
thinkfresh: I am still there. I think you glitched for a sec, but we're back.
Ty Fresh: I think shop .dot think fresh podcast .com just crashed zen caster for me but we are so back. um We got a few other pieces of apparel here.
thinkfresh: We're so back.
Ty Fresh: um We got the logo classic also on a hoodie similar to the t shirt if you're where it's getting into cozy cuffing season. So get it for you get it get it oversized for Bay.
Ty Fresh: I think the hoodie is gonna look really, really good on everybody this time of year.
thinkfresh: That's right.
thinkfresh: That's right. And as and speaking of coughing season, the hoodie is also available in a dick appointment gray.
Ty Fresh: Mm. That's right.
thinkfresh: So we should do a think fresh gray sweat pan next.
Ty Fresh: I completely agree.
thinkfresh: rilla but We'll call it the hideaway collection.
Ty Fresh: The there's nothing fresh about what you're going to be doing in this thing. It's going to be more nasty.
thinkfresh: More nasty, that's right.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: um Amazing. um Second to that tie, we have a another sweatshirt here. This one is a crew neck style. um It's the King of Sandwiches sweatshirt.
thinkfresh: and um might be there's There's a subtle nuance here that I'm not going to say. You have to be an expert think fresh listener to pick pick up the reference here.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: So I'll just let you guys discover that one on your own. But this one comes in a beautiful herbs and cheese colorway, mozzarella in white, and another black olive.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: And um yeah, this is this is a good one.
Ty Fresh: What I love about our King of Sandwiches sweatshirt, Eric, is the typeface feels very ALD coded. It's tapping into the heritage side of the Think Fresh brand. We have been producing for quite a few years now, quite a few episodes. I actually think a revision of this, we might want to put our established date on it as well.
Ty Fresh: um But we don't want to what I love about this entire merchandise collection is that it's it's not it's whatever the fast food equivalent of quiet luxury is, we're not advertising our podcast on this merchandise.
thinkfresh: I love that.
Ty Fresh: We don't want you to be a billboard for this podcast. We want you to feel like you can represent the principles of what ThinkFresh stands for and what you as a listener stand for um via this apparel.
Ty Fresh: so
thinkfresh: Mm -hmm.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, it's very it's very cool in that sense. I'm really excited
thinkfresh: Yeah, beautifully said tie. Um, we also got some, a couple of hats here that are available for your head tops. Um, one of them is a distressed kind of style dad hat that says bread head on it. I think all of you deserve to be rocking one of these, um, that comes in two colors. And then we have kind of a funny, like baseball cap with a Velcro enclosure on the back that just says, you know, it states what your purpose is. You're out for lunch.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm. Yeah the out for lunch The out for lunch hat is really cool.
thinkfresh: D and &D, do not disturb.
Ty Fresh: It's uh, we're exploring it a ah nice serif type for this one It's really giving like a god's favorite kind of vibe who yeah Um, everyone needs uh some sort of
thinkfresh: 100%. Oh man. And as we scroll down, this is where, actually we have a couple more before it starts to get weird.
Ty Fresh: ah vessel to carry their foot long from door to door. Now that plastic bags have been outright outlawed in many municipalities, we recommend a reusable tote bag and Think Fresh is providing you one. The creative director tote ah comes in a beautiful herbs and cheese beige and black olive black ah with a small denotion at the bottom. You can assert yourself as the creative director of sandwiches. That title is um proudly placed on this tote bag for anyone to see.
Ty Fresh: It runs a little larger than your classic tote too, so you can really fit a couple footlongs, maybe even a whole combo in there.
thinkfresh: Oh, fuck. Mm -hmm, that's right. ThinkFresh doesn't play around when it comes to storage space.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, dude, you can fit a footlong in any direction. It's pretty crazy.
thinkfresh: Yeah. OK, and then we have one for the breadhead ladies.
Ty Fresh: if you If you exist,
thinkfresh: Second to that. Oh, they exist, Ty. I'm um tapped into our Google Analytics page, but um we have a nice little fitted tank top. This comes in a micro ribbed texture for your wearing pleasure.
Ty Fresh: Nice.
thinkfresh: um and uh on the front it says hard feelings harder bread and uh the astute breadhead would remember that this is actually a title of episode 231 with how original podcasts so this shirt that you can give to your your uh your husband's girlfriend will be referencing that episode with with our friends so absolute banger
Ty Fresh: an absolute banger of an episode, an absolute banger of a t -shirt.
Ty Fresh: ah what What else we got here? We're getting into some accessories as well. um Everyone that listens to this podcast knows that the only thing we like more than a foot -long sandwich Well, actually, we like everything more than that.
Ty Fresh: But in particular, a nice cold pint of beer, a freshly cracked can of light lager.
thinkfresh: Hell yeah.
Ty Fresh: And the only thing, yeah, we like our sandwiches toasted, but we like our beer nice and cold.
thinkfresh: Psst. Hell yeah.
Ty Fresh: So introducing the think fresh sam beer cozy. um in a tasteful forest green with the Think Fresh logo on the side. And this is the most political thing we've ever created, Eric, ah because Just like we thought it was really important for anyone with a beer cozy to have material to stimulate podcast level conversation at a house party. So we've emboldened the back with some strong stances on on the world to help help you invigorate that conversation.
thinkfresh: Absolutely. So in case somebody ah comes up to you and asks you why you stand for Kevin Spacey, you should have an answer kind of ready to go. I would recommend like just pre -planning what you're going to say for each of these.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm Yeah, yeah, you're gonna have to this is it's a podcast episode Wrapped around a can please do show we don't even need to get in it.
thinkfresh: That's right.
Ty Fresh: You just go check it out
thinkfresh: That's right. um After that, Ty, we have another beverage vessel. Do you want to walk us through that what's happening with that one as well?
Ty Fresh: Right. Well, we don't normally crack a cold one till after 12. Before 12, we are um working with a cup of mud. So we got your got you a coffee mug, ready to go, logo on the front, cup of mud on the back. is welcome Welcome to Bean Town. That's all I got to say.
thinkfresh: Ah, shit. I've been to Subway way too many times.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm.
thinkfresh: um Excellent. After that tie, we have a car freshener, because you already know when you pull up to the drive -through at Subway, or if you are simply getting in the car after a lunch, you can kind of bring that smell but into the car with you after you know a long and stinky footlong.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: So the think freshener will ease all of your grievances.
Ty Fresh: Yeah.
thinkfresh: um It comes in one scent, and that is the brand new whip scent. So it speaks for itself.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: You know exactly how it works. You just put it somewhere and it makes your car smell good. So that new, that 08 Honda Civic will smell just like a brand new Rolls Royce.
Ty Fresh: Hell yeah. um over Here over at... ah think fresh, we we really dabble in smell management, as you know, there's a few different places where ah mitigating the subway smell is ah critical, the smell of your fingers, smell of your breath, and the smell of anywhere you go immediately after eating and the think freshener is there to help with that.
Ty Fresh: We're still working on the hand sanitizer and mouthwash dropping soon. um Yeah,
thinkfresh: Totally. We're just looking for a fluoride -free version.
Ty Fresh: exactly so for now though your car can stink fresh and the 12th and final item i don't want to talk about this one i think we just need to we okay um bread has at the final item in this merch drop we are so excited to introduce to you something that keeps you warm at night
thinkfresh: That's right. um Ty, do you want to do the honors?
Ty Fresh: Keep both your heart full and your fantasies fuller. Both heart and say fantasies are more full than your stomach. um We've put together a very tasteful pillow for you.
thinkfresh: yeah
Ty Fresh: ah You can put it on your couch, maybe your bed. And we've prepared a a one of one graphic only ah It's a thick, fresh, exclusive of two beautiful, young, large -breasted anime women consuming footlong sandwiches. So if you get this pillow, you're no longer alone at home every night. It's in a menage à trois, no matter where you go with this.
thinkfresh: Oh, beautifully said, Ty. I have nothing really to add to this other than the fact that there is a concealed zipper.
Ty Fresh: Thank you, Eric.
thinkfresh: OK, and that's that's everything we've we've created for you guys.
Ty Fresh: That's it. Wow.
thinkfresh: Drop one available now at shop .thinkfreshpodcast .com. Use the code breadhead for 10 percent off if you're a real breadhead. If you're not a real breadhead, kindly fuck off.
Ty Fresh: Eric, I gotta ask, what what item in this collection are you most excited about?
thinkfresh: Wow, what a question. um I got to say, Ty, I'm excited to pull up with the fresh beer cooler to our next activation, you know potentially crack a cold one on the tennis court, you know strike up a conversation with the locals, the regulars of the tennis court, maybe antagonize some pickleballers. I would say that's my favorite product right now. I'm most excited to cop one for myself right now.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, I'll need one too so that I can cheers you in it. But I'm most excited about the bread bread head hat the thinking cap.
thinkfresh: Hell yeah.
Ty Fresh: I think it's the best way to kind of manifest the physical like it's like almost the war though the default wardrobe of a breadhead is a breadhead hat in my opinion, especially in beige.
thinkfresh: hundred percent 100%. 100%.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: Yeah, that that one's going to be a staple for sure. Some of these, I'm already thinking, are going to be part of the permanent collection.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: You know what I mean? so Maybe you'll see a V2 of the thinking cap um in the future, but we'll always probably have something like that for everybody. So um yeah, that's our that's our collection.
thinkfresh: Go ahead.
Ty Fresh: yeah
thinkfresh: And I know it's i know we're mid pay cycle right now. So a lot of the breadheads don't get paid until next Friday, unfortunately. um In which case, I know they're eating ice soup right now.
Ty Fresh: yeah ah They're like looking in their mailbox for some subway coupons. like if if i If I get a coupon, I eat tonight.
thinkfresh: 100%.
Ty Fresh: Eric, you're wearing also you're you are wearing the classic logo tee as we speak.
thinkfresh: That's right.
Ty Fresh: If only you could see how big he is smiling in this t shirt.
thinkfresh: Hell yeah.
Ty Fresh: It looks so cool on you.
thinkfresh: oh Dude I'm grinning ear to ear right now because dude this I'm actually so thrilled with how nice the shirt feels This is obviously printed on gildan, but it is a beautiful stretchy Mid -weight fabric that is really soft perfect kind of box ear silhouette It's not gonna hang down to your knees like one of those.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm.
thinkfresh: I don't know weird shirts that you get at Walmart or Costco. This is the exact cut that has been proven to be one of the best t -shirt designs of all time.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm.
thinkfresh: I mean, can you name a better company to print on? I can't.
Ty Fresh: I can't. um Yeah, dude, it's a better cut than most of us, most sandwich artists' attempts on your footlong. So, yeah, this is a lot cleaner cut.
thinkfresh: Oh, 100%.
thinkfresh: hundred percent um 100%. Ty, should we get into some topicos now? or there anything else we want to yeah Or is there anything else we want to talk about for for the merch drop?
Ty Fresh: some actual topics. Oh,
thinkfresh: I think we pretty much covered everything. um Obviously, no returns. set All sales are final.
Ty Fresh: oh yeah.
thinkfresh: ah
Ty Fresh: And this entire podcast is satire, but the merch drop is real.
thinkfresh: Oh, shit. It totally is.
Ty Fresh: I could talk about this all day.
thinkfresh: um
Ty Fresh: It has awakened my palette and childlike creativity in ways I never thought. So um I hope you the breadheads are as just excited as we are, but we should get into some real topics this episode so that we don't leave everyone hanging.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: one hundred percent
thinkfresh: 100%. Mm hmm.
Ty Fresh: What's new, Eric?
thinkfresh: Ty, fuck all is new with me other than this merger drop, but there are some new things happening in the world.
Ty Fresh: Yes.
thinkfresh: um For example, we just had the presidential debate
Ty Fresh: Hmm. Yeah, we now we should debate the debate, I guess.
thinkfresh: 100%. And when I say we, I mean, the collective global society, we are not Americans, but it feels like appropriate to talk about it anyway.
Ty Fresh: Yeah.
thinkfresh: um I don't really have much to say about it, to be honest, but there was one thing that came up that I wanted to discuss with you. um There was a moment like midway in the debate where Kamala kind of triggered Big T into feeling a little bit frazzled.
thinkfresh: She was like throwing some shots his way.
Ty Fresh: no Oh, no.
thinkfresh: And immediately after that point, he was kind of like on the ropes, as they say. yeah I mean, his back was against the wall. ah He was swinging, though. He came out swinging, dude, and he was ready to defend his honor.
thinkfresh: um But he was talking about the migrant crisis and
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm.
thinkfresh: The main takeaway that I think everyone walked away with was when he said, what's happening is it's absolutely terrible. hey Listen, guys, they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats and they're eating the dogs. Absolutely terrible.
Ty Fresh: It's a pretty good impression, I won't lie.
thinkfresh: Thank you. So I don't know if he caught that, but there's but he was saying that in some places, they're they're struggling so bad that they're eating their pets.
Ty Fresh: I did hear about this. So, do you think there's any truth to this statement? It's crazy. It's crazy to think that like someone would eat their own pet.
thinkfresh: 100%. Yeah, I don't know, man. This is ah this is this is something else because I think what he's referencing is a viral video of a crazy lady eating her cat.
Ty Fresh: will Oh yeah, in Ohio, of course.
thinkfresh: Yeah, exactly. Dude, it's always in Ohio.
Ty Fresh: The center of the meme universe.
thinkfresh: um Exactly. That place, if you live in Ohio, you're playing life on like the hardest difficulty.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, people who like move. I don't think anyone's moving there anymore. They're all trying to get out. Ohio's the world's largest escape room.
thinkfresh: Yeah, dude. So this lady was eating dog or cat or something. And I got to say, it do you think that's any different from eating the tuna footlong? Let's just call it what it is.
Ty Fresh: I mean, uh, probably not. They're both animals. Like from like PETA's perspective, uh, they're all, they're all lives that should be spared. But the tuna is not really an animal. Like we don't see PETA protesting outside subway, but they would probably care about this chick.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm. Yeah, I think so. They they care about the chick.
Ty Fresh: the Or the the cat like they care about taking they care about taking down the woman that did this to her cat Yeah
thinkfresh: the OK, I see. I see. um Yeah, I would agree with that. um But do you think should it be a legal tie to acquire a pet and then raise it until you are ready to ah eventually consume it? Like, how is that different from having a pig on a farm and growing it to be nice and plump, force feeding it.
thinkfresh: And then, you know, when it becomes winter, you lop off its head and start, you know, cooking it up. How is that any different?
Ty Fresh: didnt It doesn't make any sense. I don't think it is actually different. We do have like animal abuse protections, but it's more about preventing the animal from having a low quality of life, not necessarily ending its life.
Ty Fresh: I think you reserve the right to kill your pet at any time. People take their dog out in the backyard. Like in this life, if it's to prevent low, low quality of life, you know, you put your animal down.
thinkfresh: That's right.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm.
Ty Fresh: We're killing animals all the time.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm. Old yeller suffered that, you know, bad fate.
Ty Fresh: Exactly.
thinkfresh: But makes me think like.
Ty Fresh: Old smeller. Sorry, didn't mean to cut you off for that.
thinkfresh: It's OK, it was well worth it. um Yeah, it's really it's really interesting time. If you kill an animal, or if you a even better, you find a dead animal, can you can you consume it?
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: We talked about this the other day when you almost hit a moose.
Ty Fresh: Yeah.
thinkfresh: If you did hit it, I think you should be able to just take it home, you know what I mean? and Maybe call up ah RFK, have him pick it up for you, something like that.
Ty Fresh: no
Ty Fresh: Yeah, I actually, since that episode, I've looked into it quite extensively. It turns out you're not allowed. It counts as salvaging roadkill, and that's different than hunting, even if you're the one that annihilated it.
Ty Fresh: So roadkill is off the table.
thinkfresh: Oh, OK.
Ty Fresh: It's too bad because that would be an infinite food glitch.
thinkfresh: Hmm.
thinkfresh: Pretty much you just have to be nice with the car. You know, I mean, you got to like be able to track them down and hit them.
Ty Fresh: Yeah.
thinkfresh: Dude, real quick on roadkill, I saw four black bears in the last two days in my suburban utopia.
Ty Fresh: Mmm, that makes sense, Eric.
thinkfresh: Not kind of wild.
Ty Fresh: It's the fall. No way. It's the beginning of the fall winter season, you know?
thinkfresh: Oh, shit.
Ty Fresh: They're out collecting berries and digging through trash cans, looking for unfinished sandwiches. They're trying to fatten up, you know? They're trying to foglify for the winter.
thinkfresh: Yeah. So that's why they're hanging around my place. They're looking for that unfinished footlong. um Yeah, dude, it's pretty crazy.
Ty Fresh: Chokes on them. You always finished.
thinkfresh: ah um'm and I'm a bear, too. I'm a bear in this market.
thinkfresh: No. I saw them running across like four lanes of traffic to like go into a um community where there's like a thrifty foods.
Ty Fresh: Mm
thinkfresh: So they're like literally going shopping, which is kind of funny.
Ty Fresh: hmm.
thinkfresh: But no one seemed to be really phased.
Ty Fresh: Mm
thinkfresh: I'm obviously new to this town. um I'm the new sheriff in town, but everyone else seems to be like super calm and chill about it.
Ty Fresh: hmm.
thinkfresh: And I was like checking my six every three seconds when I saw the first one.
Ty Fresh: yeah well you don't want one sneaking up behind you getting tapped on the shoulder by yogi bear are you gonna get some merch can i get a bite
thinkfresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: You know what, though, I think it's like maybe you're like me, but I feel like I could take a bear like, especially like a measly little black bear cub, like I feel like I can hit it hard enough and dodge its attacks well enough for it to eventually run away from me.
Ty Fresh: Interesting. I think I could take a bear because I could talk it down.
thinkfresh: You could scold it.
Ty Fresh: That's all you need to do. that so that Just calm the bear.
thinkfresh: Hmm. Yeah, dude. So you can use your Caesar Milan bear whispering skills to kind of like lower its heart rate, just to the point where it's like kind of sleepy.
Ty Fresh: him
thinkfresh: And then what do you do with it at that point?
Ty Fresh: and
thinkfresh: Do you just scurry away or do you and know, tranquilize it and take it home? I don't know. What do you do? What do you do with it?
Ty Fresh: If I encounter a sleepy bear, I'm getting a cuddle. I'm not missing out on that opportunity.
thinkfresh: Big spoon or a little spoon?
Ty Fresh: Big black bear or grizzly?
thinkfresh: Let's say blackberry. That's what I saw in this scenario.
Ty Fresh: Yeah. I'm big spooning the black bear. But you better believe that a big grizzly paw, that's going to cover me like a wet blanket.
thinkfresh: Mm -hmm.
Ty Fresh: you know I'm just going to get absorbed in that thing.
thinkfresh: yeah
thinkfresh: Imagine being a little spoon for a big grizzly bear and then you just feel it nibble on your ear a little bit.
Ty Fresh: Thank you.
thinkfresh: Thank you. Oh, man. Well, yeah, that's what I that's what I deal with living in this. um I don't know, mountainous region.
thinkfresh: I live near some mountains, I guess.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, and I think that what I'm realizing is like, yeah, you could probably, we could probably eat bear. Why not? Right?
thinkfresh: We already eat bear paws.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, exactly. So every did like the the protein of any geographic area is pretty much dependent on like what's available to them, what resources they have.
Ty Fresh: um So maybe in Ohio, it's totally cool to eat a cat. I don't know. I've never been there. I never planned to go either. I don't i don't know their culture.
thinkfresh: Totally.
Ty Fresh: I don't want to judge their culture too quickly.
thinkfresh: totally
thinkfresh: Yeah, it's really strange tie. Why is it abnormal? That's my big question. You know what I mean?
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: People can have pets. People can have a pet snake. They can have a pet pig, a pet like bangle cat. I mean, some of these animals don't need to be in the house.
thinkfresh: Send them free. You know, let them go so I can eat them.
Ty Fresh: If you yeah, some people say if you love it, set it free. Others say if you love it, take a bite.
thinkfresh: God damn it.
Ty Fresh: If you really love it, you'll eat it.
thinkfresh: Oh.
thinkfresh: Yeah, dude, I would have to be pushed to the absolute brink to take a bite of a cat. That is absolutely crazy.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: um Like they say they eat rats in some places. Like, would you rather eat like our a rat, like a stewed rat or like take a bite out of a cat?
Ty Fresh: Is the rat accidentally in the stew or is the rat prepared by a Michelin star chef?
thinkfresh: It is prepared by the finest chef in North Korea.
Ty Fresh: Then get me the rat. You are what you eat, right?
thinkfresh: Oh, yeah. I guess so. A seasoned rat.
thinkfresh: Oh, shit.
Ty Fresh: We're heading into right rat boy summer will be continuing and into the next season.
thinkfresh: Damn.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm. 100%. Speaking of rats, I think you should get the rat tail. I think that's a nice evolution of your haircut.
Ty Fresh: That'd be cool.
thinkfresh: It would be cool. um Ty, speaking of eating dogs, I have one other story for you.
Ty Fresh: Oh, no.
thinkfresh: um And up to Donna, our boy Joey Chestnut.
Ty Fresh: Joey Chestnut. A long time theme of this pod has been tracking the whereabouts and the activities of Mr. Chestnut, the world's fastest hot dog consumer.
thinkfresh: Mm -hmm. That's right.
Ty Fresh: Tell us what's going on with him.
thinkfresh: So big Jojo was able to successfully break his own world record for dogs eaten without dunking them in water, which I thought is really i thought was really impressive, honestly, to hear.
Ty Fresh: A true raw dog.
thinkfresh: A true dry raw dog. um What's really interesting is this was actually like shown on Netflix as a live event versus Kobayashi, the other longtime goat in this field.
thinkfresh: Um, so they had a head to head, a dog to dog, if you will.
Ty Fresh: Mhm.
thinkfresh: And, um, there was no big, big nut, big chestnut beat him. And, um, absolutely crazy dude. I don't know, dude, this is. Food competitions need to stop.
Ty Fresh: But yeah I mean, like, it's like, these are like, athletes at the peak of their physical ability. I feel like that's something you should admire. You love you love sportsmanship, you love peak physical abilities.
thinkfresh: 100%.
Ty Fresh: And i I think chestnuts on he's unfairly judged because the domain in which he operates is on the edge of what's socially acceptable.
thinkfresh: And I guess
thinkfresh: Much like what's happening in Ohio. It makes sense. I wonder where he's from.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: Oh, it says San Jose.
Ty Fresh: It's probably from Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
thinkfresh: I guess so.
Ty Fresh: All the big eaters come out of San Jose.
thinkfresh: Yeah. Um, so he ate 335 ,000 calories. It's the same amount of calories. The average person eats in six months.
Ty Fresh: Whoa, in one day.
thinkfresh: Mm -hmm. Some career highlights from from him.
Ty Fresh: That's
thinkfresh: He's eaten 141 hard boiled eggs in eight minutes. 182 chicken wings in 30 minutes. This one is interesting because how do you count a fully eaten chicken wing?
thinkfresh: You know what I mean? There's people who leave a lot of meat on the bone. I would I would want to fact check that one.
thinkfresh: And um yeah, Kobayashi, Takiru Kobayashi. Described as the godfather of competitive eating.
Ty Fresh: Oh.
thinkfresh: This is their first head to head tie in 15 years.
Ty Fresh: Really?
Ty Fresh: I didn't realize that there was um I assumed it was a small, like a small circle. like ah I didn't realize that it was and i didn't realize there was a big enough industry that you wouldn't cross paths with the second best in 15 years.
thinkfresh: There's nothing small in this. I know, right?
thinkfresh: Oh, wow. I don't know.
Ty Fresh: like
thinkfresh: I just think it's interesting that Netflix is getting their big greedy paws on on food competitions like this. It's kind of strange.
Ty Fresh: It's so it it makes sense. It's so visceral. you Like, it's a sight to see to watch this guy just like shoving dog after dog in his mouth. And yeah it's grotesque. And you can't but you can't look away or you're curious. But you're afraid. It's kind of like the like simply to true crime documentaries if you think about it, because it has a lot of the same, like,
Ty Fresh: It generates a lot of the same emotional responses.
thinkfresh: Wait, tell me more.
Ty Fresh: You're like, I'm disgusted, I'm creeped out, I'm scared, but I got to see you what's going to happen next.
thinkfresh: And then a few people also say, I could do that.
Ty Fresh: And then a few people say, I don't know how they did it. and consumption
thinkfresh: God damn it. Yeah, dude, I don't know what to say.
Ty Fresh: wild.
thinkfresh: Shout out to Big Joey, Big Kobayashi, Big Chestnut.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: um Yeah, I got nothing else to add to this.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm. You gotta have big chest and big nuts if you're gonna be in that industry. That's all I gotta say.
thinkfresh: Mm -hmm, that's right. And a big stomach.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm. Big metabolism.
