Ty Fresh
Head there right now. Listen along. We'll talk through what we got. it'll be it's It's all very cool.
00:03:41
thinkfresh
I love this. It's a ride along, if you will.
00:03:45
Ty Fresh
ah ah so
00:03:47
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.
00:03:48
Ty Fresh
okay
00:03:53
Ty Fresh
and
00:03:58
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.
00:04:05
Ty Fresh
Yeah, here's how the sausage was made. I do I do find sometimes the sandwich artists is pulling me along.
00:04:07
thinkfresh
but
00:04:11
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.
00:04:19
thinkfresh
That's right.
00:04:20
Ty Fresh
I'm picking out which veggies I want. And they're still delicately, ah ah like aligning the cheese.
00:04:26
thinkfresh
Mm hmm. I know, dude. Can you imagine, though, like we got ThinkFresh merchandise before GTA six. That's that's crazy, bro.
00:04:33
Ty Fresh
That's crazy. Wow.
00:04:36
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.
00:04:44
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.
00:05:08
thinkfresh
That's right, man. um Second to that, this is one of my personal favorites. um We have the BMT.
00:05:16
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm
00:05:16
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.
00:05:27
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.
00:05:38
Ty Fresh
You did
00:05:38
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.
00:05:45
Ty Fresh
you did
00:05:46
thinkfresh
um breadheads you
00:05:47
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.
00:05:54
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.
00:06:02
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:06:07
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.
00:06:09
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:06:11
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:06:17
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.
00:06:33
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?
00:06:36
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:06:42
Ty Fresh
look it up I'm not it's not my job to educate you dude
00:06:44
thinkfresh
Get up. Damn, that's so sick. um What else do we have here, Ty?
00:06:52
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
00:07:05
thinkfresh
I love that, dude. Yeah, very internet inspired.
00:07:11
Ty Fresh
You still there, Eric?
00:07:12
thinkfresh
I am still there. I think you glitched for a sec, but we're back.
00:07:16
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.
00:07:23
thinkfresh
We're so back.
00:07:27
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.
00:07:40
Ty Fresh
I think the hoodie is gonna look really, really good on everybody this time of year.
00:07:41
thinkfresh
That's right.
00:07:46
thinkfresh
That's right. And as and speaking of coughing season, the hoodie is also available in a dick appointment gray.
00:07:53
Ty Fresh
Mm. That's right.
00:07:55
thinkfresh
So we should do a think fresh gray sweat pan next.
00:08:01
Ty Fresh
I completely agree.
00:08:03
thinkfresh
rilla but We'll call it the hideaway collection.
00:08:08
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.
00:08:15
thinkfresh
More nasty, that's right.
00:08:17
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:08:18
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.
00:08:29
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.
00:08:35
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:08:39
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.
00:08:49
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:08:50
thinkfresh
And um yeah, this is this is a good one.
00:08:52
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.
00:09:14
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.
00:09:14
thinkfresh
I love that.
00:09:29
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.
00:09:42
Ty Fresh
so
00:09:42
thinkfresh
Mm-hmm.
00:09:43
Ty Fresh
Yeah, it's very it's very cool in that sense. I'm really excited
00:09:48
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.
00:10:21
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm. Yeah the out for lunch The out for lunch hat is really cool.
00:10:22
thinkfresh
D and&D, do not disturb.
00:10:27
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
00:10:36
thinkfresh
100%. Oh man. And as we scroll down, this is where, actually we have a couple more before it starts to get weird.
00:10:48
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.
00:11:21
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.
00:11:22
thinkfresh
Oh, fuck. Mm-hmm, that's right. ThinkFresh doesn't play around when it comes to storage space.
00:11:32
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude, you can fit a footlong in any direction. It's pretty crazy.
00:11:38
thinkfresh
Yeah. OK, and then we have one for the breadhead ladies.
00:11:43
Ty Fresh
if you If you exist,
00:11:43
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.
00:12:00
Ty Fresh
Nice.
00:12:02
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
00:12:26
Ty Fresh
an absolute banger of an episode, an absolute banger of a t-shirt.
00:12:34
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.
00:12:47
Ty Fresh
But in particular, a nice cold pint of beer, a freshly cracked can of light lager.
00:12:53
thinkfresh
Hell yeah.
00:12:56
Ty Fresh
And the only thing, yeah, we like our sandwiches toasted, but we like our beer nice and cold.
00:12:57
thinkfresh
Psst. Hell yeah.
New Product Introductions
00:13:03
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.
00:13:44
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.
00:13:52
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.
00:14:03
thinkfresh
That's right.
00:14:05
Ty Fresh
You just go check it out
00:14:07
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?
00:14:15
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.
00:14:36
thinkfresh
Ah, shit. I've been to Subway way too many times.
00:14:40
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:14:42
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.
00:14:55
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
00:15:00
thinkfresh
So the think freshener will ease all of your grievances.
00:15:06
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:15:08
thinkfresh
um It comes in one scent, and that is the brand new whip scent. So it speaks for itself.
00:15:13
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:15:14
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.
00:15:26
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.
00:15:51
Ty Fresh
We're still working on the hand sanitizer and mouthwash dropping soon. um Yeah,
00:15:56
thinkfresh
Totally. We're just looking for a fluoride-free version.
00:15:59
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
00:16:04
thinkfresh
That's right. um Ty, do you want to do the honors?
00:16:23
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.
00:16:34
thinkfresh
yeah
00:16:38
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.
00:17:08
thinkfresh
Oh, beautifully said, Ty. I have nothing really to add to this other than the fact that there is a concealed zipper.
00:17:18
Ty Fresh
Thank you, Eric.
00:17:19
thinkfresh
OK, and that's that's everything we've we've created for you guys.

Ty Fresh
Eric, I gotta ask, what what item in this collection are you most excited about?
00:17:42
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.
00:18:12
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.
00:18:15
thinkfresh
Hell yeah.
00:18:19
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.
00:18:33
thinkfresh
hundred percent 100%. 100%.
00:18:35
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:18:37
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.
00:18:40
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:18:44
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.
00:18:56
thinkfresh
Go ahead.
00:18:57
Ty Fresh
yeah
00:18:57
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.
00:19:10
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.
00:19:19

Ty Fresh
Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
00:19:55
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:19:57
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.
00:20:02
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:20:09
thinkfresh
I mean, can you name a better company to print on? I can't.
00:20:13
Ty Fresh
I can't.
Apparel Quality Discussion
00:20:14
Ty Fresh
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.
00:20:21
thinkfresh
Oh, 100%.
00:20:26
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?
00:20:33
Ty Fresh
some actual topics. Oh,
00:20:37
thinkfresh
I think we pretty much covered everything. um Obviously, no returns. set All sales are final.
00:20:43
Ty Fresh
oh yeah.
00:20:44
thinkfresh
ah
00:20:45
Ty Fresh
And this entire podcast is satire, but the merch drop is real.
00:20:49
thinkfresh
Oh, shit. It totally is.
00:20:51
Ty Fresh
I could talk about this all day.
00:20:51
thinkfresh
um
00:20:53
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.
00:21:00
thinkfresh
Mm hmm.
00:21:05
thinkfresh
one hundred percent
00:21:08
thinkfresh
100%. Mm hmm.
00:21:10
Ty Fresh
What's new, Eric?
00:21:12
thinkfresh
Ty, fuck all is new with me other than this merger drop, but there are some new things happening in the world.
00:21:18
Ty Fresh
Yes.
00:21:18
thinkfresh
um For example, we just had the presidential debate
00:21:23
Ty Fresh
Hmm. Yeah, we now we should debate the debate, I guess.
00:21:31
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.
00:21:40
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:21:40
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.
00:21:57
thinkfresh
She was like throwing some shots his way.
00:21:58
Ty Fresh
no Oh, no.
00:22:00
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.
00:22:12
thinkfresh
um But he was talking about the migrant crisis and
00:22:13
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:22:18
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.
00:22:35
Ty Fresh
It's a pretty good impression, I won't lie.
00:22:37
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.
00:22:46
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.
00:22:59
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.
00:23:12
Ty Fresh
will Oh yeah, in Ohio, of course.
00:23:15
thinkfresh
Yeah, exactly. Dude, it's always in Ohio.
00:23:18
Ty Fresh
The center of the meme universe.
00:23:18
thinkfresh
um Exactly. That place, if you live in Ohio, you're playing life on like the hardest difficulty.
00:23:29
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.
00:23:36
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.
00:23:52
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.
00:24:17
thinkfresh
Mm hmm. Yeah, I think so. They they care about the chick.
00:24:24
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
00:24:26
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.
00:24:54
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?
00:25:03
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.
00:25:18
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.
00:25:26
thinkfresh
That's right.
00:25:31
thinkfresh
Mm hmm.
00:25:31
Ty Fresh
We're killing animals all the time.
00:25:33
thinkfresh
Mm hmm. Old yeller suffered that, you know, bad fate.
00:25:35
Ty Fresh
Exactly.
00:25:37
thinkfresh
But makes me think like.
00:25:38
Ty Fresh
Old smeller. Sorry, didn't mean to cut you off for that.
00:25:45
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?
00:25:55
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:25:59
thinkfresh
We talked about this the other day when you almost hit a moose.
00:26:03
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.
00:26:03
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:26:08
Ty Fresh
no
00:26:12
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.
00:26:24
Ty Fresh
So roadkill is off the table.
00:26:24
thinkfresh
Oh, OK.
00:26:27
Ty Fresh
It's too bad because that would be an infinite food glitch.
00:26:27
thinkfresh
Hmm.
00:26:33
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.
00:26:36
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:26:41
thinkfresh
Dude, real quick on roadkill, I saw four black bears in the last two days in my suburban utopia.
00:26:51
Ty Fresh
Mmm, that makes sense, Eric.
00:26:53
thinkfresh
Not kind of wild.
00:26:53
Ty Fresh
It's the fall. No way. It's the beginning of the fall winter season, you know?
00:26:58
thinkfresh
Oh, shit.
00:26:58
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.
00:27:06
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.
00:27:14
Ty Fresh
Chokes on them. You always finished.
00:27:17
thinkfresh
ah um'm and I'm a bear, too. I'm a bear in this market.
00:27:24
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.
00:27:29
Ty Fresh
Mm
00:27:36
thinkfresh
So they're like literally going shopping, which is kind of funny.
00:27:36
Ty Fresh
hmm.
00:27:39
thinkfresh
But no one seemed to be really phased.
00:27:40
Ty Fresh
Mm
00:27:41
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.
00:27:45
Ty Fresh
hmm.
00:27:48
thinkfresh
And I was like checking my six every three seconds when I saw the first one.
00:27:54
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
00:28:01
thinkfresh
Mm hmm.
00:28:07
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.
00:28:26
Ty Fresh
Interesting. I think I could take a bear because I could talk it down.
00:28:31
thinkfresh
You could scold it.
00:28:36
Ty Fresh
That's all you need to do. that so that Just calm the bear.
00:28:40
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.
00:28:51
Ty Fresh
him
00:28:53
thinkfresh
And then what do you do with it at that point?
00:28:53
Ty Fresh
and
00:28:55
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?
00:29:05
Ty Fresh
If I encounter a sleepy bear, I'm getting a cuddle. I'm not missing out on that opportunity.
00:29:13
thinkfresh
Big spoon or a little spoon?
00:29:15
Ty Fresh
Big black bear or grizzly?
00:29:19
thinkfresh
Let's say blackberry. That's what I saw in this scenario.
00:29:22
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.
00:29:25
thinkfresh
Mm-hmm.
00:29:31
Ty Fresh
you know I'm just going to get absorbed in that thing.
00:29:32
thinkfresh
yeah
00:29:34
thinkfresh
Imagine being a little spoon for a big grizzly bear and then you just feel it nibble on your ear a little bit.
00:29:41
Ty Fresh
Thank you.
00:29:42
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.
00:29:53
thinkfresh
I live near some mountains, I guess.
00:29:57
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?
00:30:04
thinkfresh
We already eat bear paws.
00:30:06
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.
00:30:19
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.
00:30:27
thinkfresh
Totally.
00:30:28
Ty Fresh
I don't want to judge their culture too quickly.
00:30:33
thinkfresh
totally
00:30:36
thinkfresh
Yeah, it's really strange tie. Why is it abnormal? That's my big question. You know what I mean?
00:30:43
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:30:43
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.
00:30:56
thinkfresh
Send them free. You know, let them go so I can eat them.
00:30:59
Ty Fresh
If you yeah, some people say if you love it, set it free. Others say if you love it, take a bite.
00:31:08
thinkfresh
God damn it.
00:31:10
Ty Fresh
If you really love it, you'll eat it.
00:31:10
thinkfresh
Oh.
00:31:13
thinkfresh
Yeah, dude, I would have to be pushed to the absolute brink to take a bite of a cat. That is absolutely crazy.
00:31:19
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:31:22
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?
00:31:35
Ty Fresh
Is the rat accidentally in the stew or is the rat prepared by a Michelin star chef?
00:31:42
thinkfresh
It is prepared by the finest chef in North Korea.
00:31:46
Ty Fresh
Then get me the rat. You are what you eat, right?
00:31:48
thinkfresh
Oh, yeah. I guess so. A seasoned rat.
00:31:56
thinkfresh
Oh, shit.
00:31:59
Ty Fresh
We're heading into right rat boy summer will be continuing and into the next season.
00:31:59
thinkfresh
Damn.
00:32:05
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.
00:32:12
Ty Fresh
That'd be cool.
00:32:14
thinkfresh
It would be cool. um Ty, speaking of eating dogs, I have one other story for you.
00:32:20
Ty Fresh
Oh, no.
00:32:20
thinkfresh
um And up to Donna, our boy Joey Chestnut.
00:32:24
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.
00:32:37
thinkfresh
Mm-hmm. That's right.
00:32:38
Ty Fresh
Tell us what's going on with him.
00:32:40
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.
00:32:53
Ty Fresh
A true raw dog.
00:32:55
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.
00:33:14
thinkfresh
Um, so they had a head to head, a dog to dog, if you will.
00:33:17
Ty Fresh
Mhm.
00:33:18
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.
00:33:32
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.
00:33:49
thinkfresh
100%.
00:33:50
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.
00:33:51
thinkfresh
And I guess
00:34:00
thinkfresh
Much like what's happening in Ohio. It makes sense. I wonder where he's from.
00:34:02
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:34:04
thinkfresh
Oh, it says San Jose.
00:34:04
Ty Fresh
It's probably from Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
00:34:08
thinkfresh
I guess so.
00:34:09
Ty Fresh
All the big eaters come out of San Jose.
00:34:12
thinkfresh
Yeah. Um, so he ate 335,000 calories. It's the same amount of calories. The average person eats in six months.
00:34:22
Ty Fresh
Whoa, in one day.
00:34:24
thinkfresh
Mm-hmm. Some career highlights from from him.
00:34:26
Ty Fresh
That's
00:34:29
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?
00:34:41
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.
00:34:48
thinkfresh
And um yeah, Kobayashi, Takiru Kobayashi. Described as the godfather of competitive eating.
00:34:56
Ty Fresh
Oh.
00:34:57
thinkfresh
This is their first head to head tie in 15 years.
00:35:00
Ty Fresh
Really?
00:35:03
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.
00:35:12
thinkfresh
There's nothing small in this. I know, right?
00:35:26
thinkfresh
Oh, wow. I don't know.
00:35:29
Ty Fresh
like
00:35:29
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.
00:35:35
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,
00:36:05
Ty Fresh
It generates a lot of the same emotional responses.
00:36:10
thinkfresh
Wait, tell me more.
00:36:12
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.
00:36:19
thinkfresh
And then a few people also say, I could do that.
00:36:23
Ty Fresh
And then a few people say, I don't know how they did it. and consumption
00:36:29
thinkfresh
God damn it. Yeah, dude, I don't know what to say.
00:36:36
Ty Fresh
wild.
00:36:39
thinkfresh
Shout out to Big Joey, Big Kobayashi, Big Chestnut.
00:36:42
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:36:44
thinkfresh
um Yeah, I got nothing else to add to this.
00:36:45
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.
00:36:52
thinkfresh
Mm-hmm, that's right. And a big stomach.
00:36:56
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm. Big metabolism.
00:37:01
thinkfresh
OK, well, how do you say, or what do you think of us wrapping up this episode?
00:37:01
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:37:09
Ty Fresh
Yeah, that's the last bite I'm gonna take of it. We're outta dog.
00:37:14
