Rethinking the Podcast: From Subway Focus to Casual Chats
00:00:49
Think Fresh
Hello, wet heads. Welcome to another episode of Think Fresh podcast, the only podcast previously about Subway and all Subway related material. But now it's just about Ty and Eric, your hosts, hanging out.
00:01:02
Think Fresh
Where are we hanging out today, Eric? We're hanging out at the park, day drinking. Ty, this is, a I think, becoming a day drinking and... just like belligerent activity podcast. It's a vibe podcast. We're spending more time at public parks than your average pedophile, for sure.
00:01:21
Think Fresh
Despite the fact that neither of us have children, we are here. We don't even step foot on the park. were We're not allowed. We have to stay in the car beside it. That's right. We are on ah municipal property. We're standing on the on the street right now.
00:01:35
Think Fresh
I don't think it's loitering if you don't leave the car. Like, we're just... commuting I'm just enjoying my two hour parking spot. I don't know about you, but I am well within my rights right now. I have the right to sit here for two hours.
00:01:49
Think Fresh
No more. And I'm definitely not using three different devices while in my car. ah We have three MacBooks in front of us right now. That's right. Wow.
00:01:59
Think Fresh
Well, I'm really happy to be here with you today, Eric. We have a lot to discuss this fine episode. Oh yeah? Like what?
Car Buying Adventures and Marketplace Deals
00:02:06
Think Fresh
I got to tell you about experience I had earlier this week.
00:02:11
Think Fresh
I went to a Range Rover dealership. Oh. Yeah. My friend was copying a new whip and he needed a chaperone to come with him. Oh shit. yeah Yeah. You got friends with Range Rovers?
00:02:22
Think Fresh
I don't actually. No, it was, I was a bit of a catfish. He was buying a used Hyundai that they just happened to sell. Damn. Someone traded in the Elantra for the, uh, for the range, I guess. I mean, a friend was able to take advantage of that.
00:02:35
Think Fresh
How do you upgrade from the Elantra to the Defender? Like, who yeah, it must, some things must be going pretty well in your life. Yeah. No kidding. ah So they're like, you know what? I could have this heated steering wheel in my Elantra.
00:02:48
Think Fresh
but the one of the Range Rover just feels better. It probably does. Yeah. The leather is from Italy, you know, it's hard to compare the two. So when they upgrade from their crappy Hyundai to something net like a 2025 model of a Ranger, a Jag, then, ah my friend, my broke boy friends, they upgrade to the Hyundai that was left behind.
00:03:10
Think Fresh
Everyone levels. so It's trickled down economics of vehicles. Really? yeah Yeah. No kidding. Um, So how did your friend even find the Cylentro? Was he shopping the Range Rover dealership website?
00:03:24
Think Fresh
Or ah how did he even buy a car in 2025? I have no idea. i think you get it on... People don't use Kijiji anymore today. I think you get it on Marketplace. I get so many Porsche like Marketplace promoted posts.
00:03:38
Think Fresh
yeah It makes it difficult to find what I'm really looking for, which is mostly Halloween costumes. Yeah, it's like this 911 GT3 is blocking my ability to buy this clown costume.
00:03:52
Think Fresh
Honestly, that what are people using Marketplace for? I don't like i think it's just like coffee tables. Coffee tables and costumes. Unless you're buying a car, I don't think anyone logs into Marketplace knowing what they want.
00:04:03
Think Fresh
Oh. You know, cars are like a specific thing, but I feel like most of the time it's like, what can I get for under 50 bucks today? Right. So what they're all they're shopping for is a good deal. They don't care what it is. Exactly. They will buy anything if the price is right. They have a FOMO scarcity mindset and they're going, if I don't see the $50 Dyson, did it ever happen?
00:04:25
Think Fresh
See, and this is why I'm not a marketplace. I have an abundance mindset and I am confident in my ability to build wealth. So I don't need to worry about ah cheeky discount on a Billy bookcase. It has like a hole in it.
00:04:37
Think Fresh
It's like, yeah, I don't want your grandmother's bookshelf. You know what I mean? That should be going into the trash. I don't want this haunted chair. This rocking chair full of mice.
00:04:49
Think Fresh
Throwing shit away and putting it on Marketplace for free with pick up. is like super underrated in my opinion. When you move out, I think it's a good opportunity to throw away half your belongings.
The Art of Minimizing and Moving
00:05:02
Think Fresh
Do you really want to move all that shit into your new place and just clutter it up on day one? 100% agree. Get rid of it. Start fresh. New noop crib, new you. And also that's like the bottom of the trickle down economics kind of pyramid is ah someone with nothing giving it all away for free on marketplace for someone who wants it even better.
00:05:23
Think Fresh
yeah even more even less yeah with these guys got negative assets no assets no aura just a dumpy couch they found on the side of the road dude my the alleyway mattress always finds a home yeah it does uh so maybe it's marketplace then that's where people are picking up vehicles these days i'm not really sure is there an app i don't know for free shit no for finding cars over finding cars yeah um i all i get all my cars through networking Yeah, that's right. it's You got to know someone to get a car these days.
00:05:54
Think Fresh
Like, honestly, though how'd you get this whip that
Car Salesmen Tactics and Negotiation Strategies
00:05:56
Think Fresh
we're recording? You knew someone. Yeah, it was definitely a hand-me-down. um And I treat it as such. um But yeah, dude, it's such a weird thing. Like, buying a car these days, like, dealerships are the last stronghold where you got to kind of fight for your life if you want to buy their thing.
00:06:12
Think Fresh
You know, most places you go in and if you got the money, you can... easily walk out with the thing who but car dealerships it's like you got to make sure you're not getting scammed you got to make sure that you're not overpaying for the underspray whatever the fuck that is do you don't want the underspray they're gonna try to upsell you on so much crap and this is what i why i wanted to bring this subject up to you was not because i got to walk the wall halls of the institution of range rover as somebody with studs on their tires drove by that was well it's april bro take the winters off yeah
00:06:47
Think Fresh
Yeah, it was not I didn't want to bring this up because I walked the halls of Range Rover. was because of how excruciating, Eric, the entire process in 2025. Is this car driving back again?
00:06:58
Think Fresh
Are you kidding me? Is this even picking up on Mike? You're going to be like, are you leaving? I should turn my lights off. yeah Dude, that would have been the battle. yeah Lights are off, guys. Don't worry. Okay.
00:07:13
Think Fresh
Think fresh after dark. Yeah. Jesus Christ, bro. If you drive a Jeep, just go ahead and drive it into the ocean. Facts. Anyways, continue your story. You graced the... the porcelain floors of a range over dealership yeah they got some marble columns and a like some nice nice facade but the thing is if they're just dressing up with lipstick a used car dealership at the end of the day and it is excruciating to go through the process of acquiring acquiring a vehicle through a dealership because not only you shaking hands with so many people i touched the hands of four different men all used car salesmen they'll lock up they're trying to shake your hand dirt bags
00:07:53
Think Fresh
Yeah. And they got like the entry level Rolex on and you know, they're getting their, their blazers hemmed a little short on the sleeve just to show that thing off. Right. Right. These guys are just, they're all the same dude. I i feel like I met the same dude four times, man. That's such a backwards strategy as a salesperson to wear the Rolex and show it off.
00:08:12
Think Fresh
It's like, why would you want to signal to me how many people you've scammed? That's exactly my immediate thought. I'm like, oh, wow. So you guys are clearly, this is a ah hustle. Yeah. Dude, the better strategy is to wear like everything from Uniqlo.
00:08:25
Think Fresh
You what I mean? Simple, nice, elegant, not too expensive. No watch, no jewelry. Nothing. um Ray-Ban frames. You know what I mean? Exactly. You want to look like the steering wheel of the vehicle you're selling. Exactly.
00:08:39
Think Fresh
Exactly. I actually think cost makes the perfect outfit for any shopkeep or salesman or any sort. Like the cost wardrobe is reductive, progressive and ah easy to miss.
00:08:54
Think Fresh
I mean, it's not like when you're down on your luck and you're you know, in the courtrooms, and you and your lawyer walks in, and you think I'm going to jail. like That's kind of the vibe here. It's like you want to be dressing like if you were a lawyer, you'd be sending your client to jail.
00:09:09
Think Fresh
That's true. Yeah, exactly. I ain't beating this case. Not no way. Throw in the towel. Yeah, i dude, I need me at Brian Steele. So I'm dealing with a shadow to Brian Steele. I'm dealing with four, four different sleazy used car salesmen, but they're dressed up like they are successful.
00:09:28
Think Fresh
I'm walking on this pseudo successful business, but it takes like, it took like two hours, dude, to just like acquire the car that my friends had already purchased just to get like keys in hand and get out of there. Cause you got to go through their rigmarole they They got the insurance. Not only is the insurance an hour of your life in the worst room you've ever been in Oh, yeah.
00:09:50
Think Fresh
But they try to upsell you on everything. They take you into one room and that's your warranty guy. His job is to pitch you on the warranty. Then you're shuffled into another room where you got to talk to the like the add on guy. And then you're going to try to get you a few add ons for the vehicle. And then you're sent to insurance where they try to put you through your their private insurance plan.
00:10:10
Think Fresh
And it's just like a two hour ride, two and a half hours, I think it took us to just, I was just saying no to people, handing out the driver's license and shaking scumbag's hands. It was so lame.
00:10:21
Think Fresh
Dude. Yeah. I, um, I've seen a video online of somebody going to the dealership and negotiating their way into a car. At a low price, obviously.
00:10:32
Think Fresh
And you're right. Everything you just said is exactly what I witnessed in this video. Like you got you got someone to, you know, add on the dealership fee. Some random number that is just made up. It's like I got to pay an extra 500 for what exactly?
00:10:47
Think Fresh
hello so You get all kinds of shit and you got to like, you got to tell them like, yo, know I want the out the door price to be this. You can't negotiate on like the car price. It's all about the out the door price.
00:10:58
Think Fresh
Is that the move? You got to start, start with the out the door price. Yeah. You'd be like, listen, out the door. This is how i'm paying for it. Blah, blah. That's my limit. yeah Instead of being like, can you make it a car this much, blah, blah, blah. And then they start adding on everything else. Gosh, it's just like negotiating salary. Everyone focuses on the base, but you want to look at the equity. You got to look at all of the different options here. Exactly.
00:11:20
Think Fresh
So that's, yeah, it sucks to hear, man. It's just the not a great experience. No, it's not. And it blows my mind that this is the de facto car dealership model. Because going to like the nicer dealership. So I can't imagine i' the worst ones. In 2025, like how has there been no improvement on this system? It's only gotten like weirder and harder to get through.
Impact of Inflation on Car Buying
00:11:46
Think Fresh
And we're buying like a crappy used Hyundai right here. Like imagine you're going there youre getting like straight off the line, dropping 200k on like a fully specced out Rovi. And you're just like sitting in the their DMV in like, it literally felt like I was in on the office set.
00:12:04
Think Fresh
Like this was the ugliest room I've ever been in, Eric. There was the Range Rover, Land Rover logo taped. crooked to a garbage can in the corner and that was the only signal i was even at the office or like of the business i was patroning it was terrible so imagine you bless this business with a couple hundred bands and they put you through this i would be furious i'd be walking out of there yeah it's insane unfortunately th i think they may have the leverage in this scenario you know like they're the ones who
00:12:41
Think Fresh
They don't need to sell you the car because someone else will come in right after you who's going to buy it for 10% more. You know i mean? Right. Inflation. Inflation. Tariffs. Tariffs.
00:12:51
Think Fresh
Unfortunately, people just need cars and everything is more expensive now. So like, I mean, either you're buying the fully specced out Range Rover for 200 bands or...
00:13:02
Think Fresh
or you're You're spending a little bit more than you wanted on the Prius. You know what mean? It's like at all levels, people are spending more. So right I think they just have the power these days. Right. It's ah it's a car you car salesman's market right now.
00:13:17
Think Fresh
Yeah, man. That's crazy. Everyone's stretching themselves to get on the road. That's right. Oh shit. So your friend bought the Hyundai? Got the Hyundai. I took the old whip home.
00:13:29
Think Fresh
What was the old whip just out of curiosity? A different Hyundai. Oh wow. All this for the same car? Basically. ah Newer I suppose. Newer. Yeah. We got a couple of years out. When that comes with a few bells and whistles you wouldn't find on like a 2012.
00:13:45
Think Fresh
rear view camera. You get a couple cameras, you get heated steering wheel, you get that little light on the rear view mirror when a car's in your blind spot. not That's like cream of the crop for me.
00:13:56
Think Fresh
Chinese driver assist. They call that, hey? Very cool. But yeah, that's my gripe. And i just it just blows my mind, Eric, that this entire industry has not...
00:14:11
Think Fresh
been disrupted the by big tech to be honest it kind of has like buying teslas off the website is really appealing because you don't ever have to talk to a dealer the price is there do you you want it or not you know i mean and um on top of that they have all the incentives and shit so yeah i just i can totally see you why everywhere you go you see a million white teslas Because of how like simple it is to buy it.
00:14:40
Think Fresh
it's like It's the same as buying a new crock pot off Amazon. Shows up in three days. That's a good point. like If I can use Apple Pay on my Tesla, instead of sending a sketchy wire transfer to the used car salesman, which is what my friend had to do. he had to wire transfer it to the car salesman's name.
00:14:58
Think Fresh
What? So scammy. Yeah, if you could just use pop the Apple Pay on on mobile, you can you could buy a car on the can. That's crazy. Boom, boom. but but Love that.
00:15:09
Think Fresh
um So did your friend get the extended bumper to bumper warranty? I don't think so.
Skepticism Towards Warranties and DIY Fixes
00:15:16
Think Fresh
i Do you warranty up anything ever? ah do you even have AppleCare? Hell no. do Have you seen the back of my phone? Yeah, dude, you are crashed out. Hell yeah, dude. ah No, you can fix everything yourself.
00:15:27
Think Fresh
And I mean, less so with the new cars, obviously. like right but i don't i don't have a PhD in ah and software programming to like fix the rear view camera on my Hyundai.
00:15:37
Think Fresh
um But most things with an old car, you can fix yourself. You can um pretty easily get a second opinion these days. You know what I mean From who? Chat?
00:15:48
Think Fresh
Yeah. Chat, YouTube, um multiple mechanics. You know what mean? Right, right, right. there's Everyone has an opinion on vehicles these days, especially two guys on a subway podcast. Oh, 100%, dude.
00:16:00
Think Fresh
And um yeah, same AppleCare, bro. like You don't need that shit. You're paying for the ability to make a mistake. Just don't make the mistake. That's a good point. That's on you. like If you got a plan B, you just go ahead and cancel plan a as our friend Ashton Hall says. 10,000. Got to get that shit to at least 20,000. 20,000,
00:16:21
Think Fresh
I don't know, dude. i feel like you got to get your phone fixed. That's kind of my takeaway from this. you got You've had a smashed up phone screen for like years now. Ty, you should know this. You you fix it to its bare minimum state and then you sell it to the next sucker.
00:16:35
Think Fresh
You know what mean? Like your last car. you like You fix it just enough for it to run and then within eight hours it implodes on itself. And that's how you get rid of a car from the You know what I mean?
00:16:47
Think Fresh
Right, right, right. That's actually how most of society functions is it's just like a hair away from falling apart. Exactly. Look at our democracy right now. and Exactly, dude. My my sandwich. My 500 investment. Exactly.
00:17:02
Think Fresh
Oh, yeah, dude. The ETFs are on the on the blitz right now. They're going down. hmm. I saw an article today of somebody who made 70 million off of calls when the market went up for like a day, like a couple days ago.
00:17:18
Think Fresh
Was this an insider trading move? I heard insider trading. all the rage. Oh yeah, dude. It's fully legal now. don't know if you've heard. I'm so tired of trading outside. Yeah. when When you think about leading by example, you can defer a lot of things, but yeah, the, um,
00:17:34
Think Fresh
Oh, hell yeah. Oh, hell yeah. The new the new move, Ty, is to follow Trump's Twitter activity. Wait for him to let you know it's going to go up. And then that's when you buy in. It's actually crazy. It's that simple, hey? He will tell you when to buy and sell. Dude, he literally said, guys, just buy in right now. yeah And then 30 minutes later, this guy 28X'd his money. like I can't believe people aren't doing this.
00:17:57
Think Fresh
Why aren't I got to get on truth social? yeah if you've If you've lost money last month, you're a fucking dumb broke. They're literally printing the instructions online. yeah as you The instructions came in the form of a tweet, which you're already looking at.
00:18:11
Think Fresh
You're looking at Twitter already. Why didn't you make any money? Why'd you pass it off as fake news? Yeah. Yeah, you're right. It's so simple. Just do what... the big the big orange guy says. Do what the mango says. Yeah, he's got handed to him He was right. It went up. That's almost fucked up shit. like Imagine everyone bet their life on the tweet and then it went down again.
00:18:33
Think Fresh
Yeah, totally. That would be... like at this point if that happened that would only affect uh mr mr trump's uh i guess reviews you know yeah so if he's gonna make a call like that he better be right yeah dude i think there would be like a group suicide if that happened to be honest yeah true true oh wow well tell you hell heot i got um got some I want to update you on what I've done yesterday.
00:19:01
Think Fresh
Sure. Give
Eric's Japan Trip Preparations and Cultural Concerns
00:19:03
Think Fresh
me the update. This a first for me, Ty. oh we're trying new things. Yeah. I shaved my chest hair. ah we I think we need to put an explicit content rating on this episode. Not for kids. This episode is now rated adult.
00:19:19
Think Fresh
That's right, Ty. I shaved my chest and I regretted it. and Yeah, dude. This is the male equivalent of getting bangs. Bangs are like getting the eyebrows slit. Yeah.
00:19:32
Think Fresh
Wow. What, what compulsed you to shave your chest? Well, ti I will be heading to Japan very shortly and I will be spending a good amount of time in the onsen.
00:19:44
Think Fresh
Oh, ah so is the onsen a hair-free zone? It's not a hairfree hair-free zone by law, but it is a space where you will be naked in front of old Japanese men.
00:19:56
Think Fresh
And so the grooming aspect is, ah would say, pretty important. Right, right, right. You want to make sure you're, like, prim and proper. Exactly. Get the nice little lineup on my balls. Lipped and tuft.
00:20:06
Think Fresh
Exactly. So Snipped. Yeah, I'm... focusing on grooming this week, let's just say. And I took the old trimmer to my chest.
00:20:19
Think Fresh
And I gotta to say, bro, I'm itchy as hell today. All day, I've just been scratching my chest like a crack addict. Because you've got excessive ingrowns right now. They're all just growing back in.
00:20:30
Think Fresh
They're not... I didn't trim them all the way down. They are... I went on like a number one buzz. Right. Not quite down to the studs. Exactly. Keeping pace with the nipple here.
00:20:41
Think Fresh
you know exactly it's i did kind of like a zero to two fade from my balls up to my chest nice nice you want it to look natural exactly the nice clean gradient exactly so uh i would say it looks pretty natural and but still i i don't think i'll ever do it again once it grows back i'm probably just going to keep it that way if forever.
00:21:03
Think Fresh
i don't I don't see myself shaving it back down. Yeah, that's fair. it seems out of character for you to make any sort of bodily modification to appease and older men. So what why why now?
00:21:16
Think Fresh
Why do you care so much about earning the respect of these Japanese elders? Mm-hmm. I really don't know what it is, Ty. Maybe it's a kind of like a, it's not white guilt, but it is kind of like a big white tourist in Asia mentality where I got to like fit in.
00:21:34
Think Fresh
right i got I can't be somebody who stands out like, this. hairy monster. True, you are a big boy already. Godzira. what but ah That got me. Yeah, that's totally understandable. you You want to assimilate into their culture, you know?
00:21:52
Think Fresh
Just be unrecognizable amongst the crowds at Shibuya Crossing. There is an imposter among us, and I don't intend to be him. The wolf in sheep's shavings.
00:22:07
Think Fresh
Oh man, this wool is merino. Wow. Yeah. But yeah, so that's where I'm at these days, Ty. And it's been, I gotta say, a big distraction for me all day. I've just been thinking about my chest hairs and scratching them all day. So I'm sure this will last for the rest of the week.
00:22:23
Think Fresh
And hopefully by the end of the week, it'll be grown into the point where it won't bother me as much. Right. There's both two meanings and two sides to grooming. And you're on the dark side right now.
00:22:35
Think Fresh
There's only two dark sides of grooming, unfortunately. Yeah. Wow. These old men are grooming you, sounds like. That's right. Well, ah maybe what you need is something to put some hair back on your chest, you know?
00:22:48
Think Fresh
Hell yeah, dude. Hell yeah. I gotta get the meatlover sub. That's what I was thinking. I've been craving Subway this entire episode, I'm a little hungry. Really?
00:22:59
Think Fresh
That's because all I had for lunch was a delicious caprese salad, which is not enough to fill this boy up. That's right. You did convince me to have a salad with you. and I got to say, it was quite nice. It was good. little heavy on the garlic.
00:23:11
Think Fresh
But that pesto went hard. Mm-hmm. That's right. I had a good chunk of pesto for lunch and then had like four meetings after in person. So yeah including this one. So here we are. So sorry about that. to Hey, we went in it together. So it's all good. It's all good in this booth.
Grocery Store Lunches vs. Eating Out
00:23:32
Think Fresh
That's right. We got the windows down. part of the park but what i wanted to talk to you about regarding lunch eric is this new lunch unlock that is so blatantly obvious to begin with which is eating lunch at the grocery store oh talk to me yeah yeah yeah so The grocery store has been peddling lunches for as long as they've existed.
00:23:54
Think Fresh
and But capitalism tries to convince us but that it's not good enough. They want you to go to a proper restaurant, an establishment. But the grocery store has got tons of grab-and-go options.
00:24:06
Think Fresh
I think the section even called grab-and-go. And I took that for a spin last week. I went into a grocery store. I got a grab and go sandwich. I even went to the produce section and copped an apple. Just a single a single single stone fruit.
00:24:21
Think Fresh
Wow. Yeah. So you're saying your hunter-gatherer instincts led you to the produce section where you chomped down. Did you take a bite before checking out? That's a crazy move. i Maybe we'll have the balls to do that next time. It's the equivalent of like...
00:24:36
Think Fresh
sampling the bulk section you know just a little cashew make sure they're not moldy yeah i just don't know why i think it's because the grocery store ah makes you think that all the food is inedible until it's gone through some sort of food preparation but most of the stuff you can just tap into right away right give it one of the old uh rubbing on your shirt moves you know just like you live on a yellowstone ranch Yeah, exactly. You ever just like hit a cucumber straight or...
00:25:07
Think Fresh
Just pop open the bag of walnuts from the bulk section just nibble on a couple. You can make a meal out of anything. Humans don't need to prep food. But some societies got us convinced that we do.
00:25:19
Think Fresh
So it was really liberating to walk into a grocery store and just buy lunch out of the bare essentials. It's like literally pulling a pear off a tree. That's how it felt. it was It felt amazing. Give the produce section a shake.
00:25:32
Think Fresh
Let the apples fall to the floor. So I think this is going to be my new move. It's like, it's cheaper than a restaurant. It's easier and more accessible. And you've got more choices too.
00:25:45
Think Fresh
The best part about this time, there's no line. z You know what never need to wait for your name to be called. You know, you just kind of walk in, grab a, grab a look and then take it where you want.
00:25:57
Think Fresh
Go and check out. Easy. Yeah, dude. And the Nona running the deli section, she ain't asking for a tip. hell There's no tip there. They'll hook you up with whatever you want. you can get some sandwich meat and go cop a loaf of bread for the price of a Subway sandwich. You don't have a bunch of sandwiches. It's insane. Yeah. Like if lunch costs $15 at Subway, you can go to a grocery store, buy a loaf of bread, bunch of deli meat, a bottle of mayo and a bottle of mustard for $15.

Isn't that kind of whack? That's kind of whack. But Subway doesn't want you to know that. They don't want you to know that you can do that, Eric. whoa yeah but that's why there's never subways near grocery stores they're always quite far away from them it's in the food deserts where the where the home depots are and yeah yeah industrial wasteland yeah i went to home depot yesterday did you see the subway i know but i went to the triple o's on on campus oh nice there's always some fast food at the home depot yeah i was like i don't if can survive pushing this orange cart through the store unless i have a
00:26:57
Think Fresh
strawberry milkshake in hand and i did that i'm actually gobsmacked eric that home depot hasn't invested in their own in-house cafeteria the same way ikea has i think most of them honestly have one the one in my part of the uh part of the town is uh has an arby's there's an yeah but see there there's a working man sandwich co They're always using like a third party service here. They're bringing they're bringing in a credible fast food joint that has already won the hearts and stomachs of the ah blue collar workforce. But I think Home Depot should just cut out the middleman, make their own deli sandwiches. It's not that hard. yeah Build a brand around it. And i bet you i bet you everyone everyone in the construction industry will love it. They will they will fight for it.
00:27:45
Think Fresh
Yeah, totally. They got to get one of those lumberjack loaves. I mean, the no frills kind of big bun, big buns. Yeah. Like a good, like 400 grams of cold cuts, um mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato.
00:28:00
Think Fresh
Easy. They could literally copy Subway's format, different business model, like different like brand. And they'd probably like actually give a Subway a run for their money. Dude, you just just made me hungry. dude they are Because they are where the people are. you know They're already waiting on the convenience.
00:28:15
Think Fresh
And all the people who shop at Home Depot love to make things from scratch. Exactly. that They're going to the lumber section for a reason. Pick up some lumber and bread. Exactly. Make their sandwich.
00:28:28
Think Fresh
Whoa. There's actually a kind of a cool unlock there. It's kind of a move. It's the DIY that people are looking for. that's what they're actually doing they're just satisfying that urge to create with their hands you know like the female version would be to put if michael's opened a like cafe or like i don't know what girls like they don't like salad bar sit concept build your own salads yeah i mean no one knows smoothie bar build your own smoothie bar what are the girlies drinking these days I think they like tinned fish on crackers.
00:29:00
Think Fresh
o That's still a thing, right? If you get to pick your cracker, pick your cheese base and then add the fish breed of choice. That's pretty cool. Fish breed sounds just awful
Olive Preferences: Garlic vs. Blue Cheese
00:29:10
Think Fresh
to me. It does. I know what you're talking about. But like there's a wine bar concept there.
00:29:13
Think Fresh
Yeah. It's like, would you like mackerel in oil or water? Yeah, exactly. Obviously oil. You want your salters, your sardines savory or in brine? Padded dry or wet?
00:29:27
Think Fresh
dry rub or wet rub ty picked up some garlic stuffed olives the other day oh nice and big fan it's just a huge green olive with a full garlic clove in there and it's just a nasty little treat i love it if you're gonna stuff an olive must be garlic yeah it's like a full fucking clove and i think it's just like so So sorry to everyone I'm going to talk to the next three weeks. Yeah, you you can only eat like six of those and you're going to have some weird farts later. Those things are intense.
00:29:58
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. But I love them. I love them. how do How do you compare the garlic stuffed olive to the blue cheese stuffed olives? Because both are potent. Both heavy hitters, Ty.
00:30:10
Think Fresh
Pound for pound, I'm going for the blue cheese. Because it's ah it's a more divisive olive, you know? And I kind of fuck with that. It's also a rare grail, you know? like Less likely to show up on the Whole Foods shelf.
00:30:22
Think Fresh
And it just makes the entire... jar, like a milky substance. Yeah. And very f foreboding fluid. yeah Exactly. It just looks like it's been off for a while, but it's not. And that's why it's so special because the cheese is also looks off, but it's not.
00:30:39
Think Fresh
Everything about it screams, do not eat me. All my instincts are screaming at me to not eat this. Yeah. but Here we are. That's the appeal is ah foregoing your natural inclinations. hmm.
00:30:52
Think Fresh
the blue cheese olive is the cigarette of the olive community yeah and you know it's bad for you but you do it anyways damn that's cool yeah hell yeah hell yeah wow wow i'm starving i got some blue chief olives in my ah cabinet right now i've been waiting to pull them out for a little martini night yeah i thought you're gonna say in your tote bag can you imagine if i was packing That's going to be another that's gonna me another move for pod is to just have a snack
