Introduction and Weather Chat
00:00:04
Ty Fresh
Hello, Eric. Hello, bread heads, head breads. Welcome to the 401st episode of Think Fresh podcast.
00:00:12
Think Fresh
Yo ho. It's good to be back, Tai. How are you doing today?
00:00:17
Ty Fresh
Oh, dude, I got cold feet and um I had the cold feet longs, if you will. It's a chilly one out there.
00:00:26
Think Fresh
It really is, dude. It is currently ah five degrees, quite cold.
00:00:31
Ty Fresh
Ugh.
00:00:33
Think Fresh
ah It's pissing rain, and we're expecting some snow tomorrow. Is that still on the agenda?
00:00:36
Ty Fresh
Ooh, I hope so. I i haven't um decided to cancel the snow.
00:00:44
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Yeah tie you are not the snowman That's right good one um Yeah, we have 85% chance of snow Saturday and Sunday 60% chance on Monday.
00:00:46
Ty Fresh
to and only only true Only Trump cancels snowflakes.
00:00:59
Think Fresh
So I'm look I'm thinking it's pretty probable statistics fans Statistics fans be like it may or may not happen
00:01:03
Ty Fresh
That's some New Orleans weather right there.
00:01:11
Ty Fresh
Yeah, you're right. ah Do we have any statistics fans in the audience? I don't know.
00:01:17
Think Fresh
I hope not. It's ah statistically improbable, I would say.
00:01:22
Ty Fresh
Yeah, we just have imperialists in the audience because they love their inches.
00:01:27
Think Fresh
And Fahrenheit.
Viral Subway Fight Discussion
00:01:29
Think Fresh
Ty, today is an interesting day because I come to you live from Twitter where I am watching a subway fight that was posted. When was it posted?
00:01:45
Think Fresh
March 31st, 2024. It's at the top of the list when you search subway on Twitter.
00:01:50
Ty Fresh
Wow. So it's been trending for seven months, 10 months.
00:01:53
Think Fresh
yeah 11 months, basically. It's almost February, but yeah, it's ah Pretty crazy, dude. Subway is a great place to fight because, you know, the chairs are no longer bolted to the floor.
00:02:06
Think Fresh
Like before they used to be all bench seating or booth seating, I should say. And you wouldn't be able to like throw a table or chair, but now you can pick up one of those metal chairs and break the sneeze guard if you really want to.
00:02:10
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:02:19
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude, just WWE style Netflix could make us special about it.
00:02:24
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude.
00:02:25
Ty Fresh
You, you verse the sandwich artists in the ring.
00:02:28
Think Fresh
Mm hmm. Imagine like. The undertaker taking someone by their hair, putting their head in the bread retarder. Like that's, that shit's made for Netflix right there.
00:02:38
Ty Fresh
Dude. Yeah. I'm going to give you a swirly in the Marinara sauce bucket.
00:02:41
Think Fresh
Oh man,
00:02:43
Ty Fresh
Yo, shit's nasty. Boil your face off.
00:02:45
Think Fresh
that is super nasty. Slap you across the face with a uncooked bread loaf.
00:02:47
Ty Fresh
Oh.
00:02:50
Ty Fresh
Dude, yeah, throwing salami slices like ninja stars.
00:02:54
Think Fresh
Yeah. Oh dude. having a food fight at subway would be pretty high up on the bucket list and like I Can see this happening on someone's twitch stream, you know, it's not out of the question for 2025 Yeah, he's like he's small enough to get tossed around in the in the subway over the seas guard perhaps
00:03:11
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude, like it's not quite a Mr. Beast level idea, but I could see so speed doing it.
00:03:28
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
Subway Stories: Birth and Bizarre Events
00:03:29
Ty Fresh
Well, when you think about these things, Eric, ah a brawl, a food fight, these are all activities that have probably, they've probably all happened in a subway at some point. And I'm just realizing now that almost everything that's ever happened to humans on Earth has probably also happened in a subway. And I challenge you to think of something that hasn't.
00:03:57
Think Fresh
Something that hasn't happened in the subway, but it's happened to humans in general.
00:04:01
Ty Fresh
yeah Yeah, like, you can't say things like abducted by aliens or something like survived the like killed by the plague, you know, well, that probably has happened in subway, but within reason, you know, if it's reasonably happened to our society, it's then reasonable to say it has also happened within the four walls, those four fake brick walls of subway.
00:04:14
Think Fresh
Hmm.
00:04:29
Think Fresh
You're probably right. The Subway restaurant is kind of a microcosm for the human experience in that way. Like there is fights.
00:04:34
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:04:37
Think Fresh
There are breakups. There's first dates. There are layoffs. People are getting interviewed at Subway.
00:04:44
Ty Fresh
I've seen. Dude, I've seen pictures of weddings at Subway before, which I think is absolutely unhinged. Do you think ah a woman has ever given birth inside the way?
00:04:57
Think Fresh
I'm going to Google that right now. Let's see. Has anyone given birth in subway restaurant?
00:05:06
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I feel like chatgbt might be able to find a situation. So worth checking. um Eric.
00:05:12
Think Fresh
el Police in West Covina, California say women gave birth in the bathroom at a subway restaurant on Monday and then abandoned the infant in a toilet and fled the store.
00:05:22
Ty Fresh
No, no.
00:05:25
Think Fresh
Yes, way.
00:05:26
Ty Fresh
Nar. Bowl away.
00:05:30
Think Fresh
Damn, dude.
00:05:31
Ty Fresh
Dude, toilet bowl away.
00:05:35
Think Fresh
That's crazy, dude. So this wasn't 20. This story is from the Washington Post, February 17th, 2016 tie. um Apparently the 911 dispatcher says, get the baby out of the toilet.
00:05:43
Ty Fresh
Wow.
00:05:49
Ty Fresh
Yeah, no kidding, dude. A bit like if you think about it, the a toilet bowl is a pretty good proxy for a mother's womb. Cause it's round and it's kind of wet in there.
00:06:01
Ty Fresh
Like, okay.
00:06:01
Think Fresh
Perfectly room temp.
00:06:03
Ty Fresh
There are better places within subway for sure. Like put the baby in the tuna bucket or put the baby amongst the shredded lettuce, but
00:06:12
Think Fresh
Give it a marinara bath.
00:06:15
Ty Fresh
Yeah, baptize it in the Marin era.
00:06:25
Think Fresh
I don't know, Ty.
00:06:25
Ty Fresh
Man.
00:06:25
Think Fresh
This seems like a pretty gnarly story. What were you about to say?
00:06:28
Ty Fresh
I was just gonna be like, damn, imagine being like first couple bites and you're like, oh shit, there's an umbilical cord in my foot.
00:06:38
Think Fresh
Oh, no.
00:06:39
Ty Fresh
Yo, dude, do you send it back?
00:06:40
Think Fresh
Like I didn't. Yeah, dude, it's like I didn't order the calamari.
00:06:45
Ty Fresh
exactly yo this is crazy i can't believe that someone did this obviously poor kid a terrible way to enter the world in so many different for so many different reasons the toilet bowl the deadbeat mother the smell of bread
00:07:06
Think Fresh
Do this article was posted eight years ago and it's like two sentences long. All it says is what I already told you. Plus um the 38 year old was caught on surveillance camera footage entering the restroom and emerging 10 minutes later, completely saturated in blood.
00:07:24
Ty Fresh
No.
00:07:24
Think Fresh
So, yeah, dude. And now I got me thinking, like, is it possible that the footlong kind of induced the birth or what was she kind of waiting to order still? What do you think?
00:07:35
Ty Fresh
Yo, yeah, I think this is so this 10 minutes is not enough time to eat for sure. This is no food, baby.
00:07:43
Think Fresh
um this is not a food baby Oh shit. She definitely spilled some marinara in her lap too.
00:07:47
Ty Fresh
Yo.
00:07:49
Think Fresh
um But dude, do you think the footlong just kind of like, she swallowed the footlong and then the sandwich was like to the baby. Get the fuck out of the way.
00:07:58
Ty Fresh
ah There's a new six inches and 7.5 ounces on the block.
00:08:07
Think Fresh
Dude, I'm watching this ah camera footage right now.
00:08:12
Ty Fresh
No, dude, it probably looks like a horror movie just covered in blood.
00:08:12
Think Fresh
It's pretty insane.
00:08:18
Think Fresh
OK, so she's I'll describe to you what's happening. She's walked into the subway, went immediately to the cashier, and it looks like she's looking for the bathroom key. And she's very gingerly kind of walking to the bathroom. Oh, no, she's going to a table. Maybe I should fast forward.
00:08:35
Ty Fresh
Dude, imagine denying a someone a bathroom key because they didn't buy a cookie and then a baby just schlops out of them immediately.
00:08:45
Think Fresh
Fuck, dude. OK, so she's gone to the bathroom.
00:08:51
Think Fresh
And she comes out. Yeah, and she's just leaving the restaurant. So this has nothing to do with subway tie. This is just purely um looks like she's being chased by a sandwich artist at the door.
00:08:58
Ty Fresh
Nice.
00:09:04
Ty Fresh
nice
00:09:04
Think Fresh
Whoa, this is really fucking creepy. This is actually straight out of ah the garage or something.
00:09:09
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude, real found footage horror right there.
00:09:10
Think Fresh
Oh.
00:09:11
Ty Fresh
I can't believe that like, you have to be at a really bad place to like, be so pregnant that you're like, it's gonna happen right now.
00:09:12
Think Fresh
Oh.
00:09:21
Ty Fresh
I just need to find a bathroom.
00:09:23
Think Fresh
yeah but it's not like she really it is yeah it's not like she appeared to be in any kind of distress but now they are cleaning the bathroom oh god die yeah this is like a reaction video for like uh like she's like uh what's it called mr hands or something
00:09:24
Ty Fresh
That's really sad.
00:09:36
Ty Fresh
Eric looks like he's gagging right now. Gagging on the mic.
00:09:48
Ty Fresh
Oh, damn, do they got the mops out?
00:09:51
Think Fresh
They left the mops, dude, and now the fire department has showed up.
00:09:55
Ty Fresh
Oh, they gotta to retrieve the baby.
00:09:57
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude.
00:09:57
Ty Fresh
I feel like firemen are good at handling toddlers.
00:09:58
Think Fresh
Or maybe some ambulance. Yeah. The ah sandwich artist is covering her mouth.
00:10:03
Ty Fresh
Interesting.
00:10:07
Ty Fresh
I'm covering my mouth hearing this happen.
00:10:10
Think Fresh
Whoa, this is crazy.
00:10:10
Ty Fresh
My reaction to your reaction.
00:10:13
Think Fresh
Yeah, oh, fuck. And there's a video of them carrying the fetus out of the bathroom. Or the baby, I guess.
00:10:18
Ty Fresh
Oh my god.
00:10:20
Think Fresh
this all happen in eight in the morning dude it's way too early to be imagine you show up your opening shift at subway and you gotta to clean the toilet out with like plasma there's a placenta in the toilet i gotta clean out i
00:10:30
Ty Fresh
Damn. darf
00:10:34
Ty Fresh
The, yeah, our frontline workers are put through so much.
00:10:38
Think Fresh
know shout out to all of our sandwich artists for really being on the front lines of the human experience. Because if you think about it, like you're right.
00:10:46
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:10:48
Think Fresh
Everything has happened in a subway. like Life and death has happened in a subway.
00:10:52
Ty Fresh
Life and death, wow.
00:10:56
Ty Fresh
So, um, not baby though, that eight year old child, that second grader now has the, like, they carry this story with them. That's such a great two truths and a lie.
00:11:11
Think Fresh
I was born inside of a subway toilet. Is the lie or the truth?
00:11:13
Ty Fresh
I guess it's, it's just a really.
00:11:15
Think Fresh
I guess the truth.
00:11:20
Ty Fresh
that's really sad but very special at the same time that you can turn that into your like either villain story or hero's journey.
00:11:32
Think Fresh
Time Googling what happened to the subway, baby.
00:11:37
Ty Fresh
This is when you find out there was more. Which one?
00:11:40
Think Fresh
Yeah. Oh, that baby is now Elon Musk.
00:11:43
Ty Fresh
Oh, of course.
00:11:46
Think Fresh
That's crazy, dude. That that fucking baby that was abandoned turned into the founder of SpaceX. Isn't that wild?
00:11:54
Ty Fresh
dude it all makes sense now you don't attempted murder oh do you think she hit the flush do you think she hit the flusher on that kid
00:11:59
Think Fresh
So the woman was arrested, Ty. And the baby was taken to hospital and was initially in critical condition. And the yeah the woman was charged with attempted murder. So there you go.
00:12:17
Think Fresh
Well, child abandonment is the other charge. So I wonder if it's like if you abandon a child without it having like a way to survive on its own, then you are essentially committing murder or attempting murder.
00:12:33
Ty Fresh
Wow. Yeah, I guess so.
00:12:35
Think Fresh
Scary stuff.
00:12:37
Ty Fresh
Did his scary stuff. This is the biggest fear with being a parent. I'm assuming for most parents is they're like, if I just like screw up one time, I have to go to jail and I lose my child.
00:12:47
Think Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:12:47
Ty Fresh
That's a lot of pressure on a parent.
00:12:50
Think Fresh
Yeah, well, I don't know, man, whatever this woman did, she deserves it.
00:12:56
Ty Fresh
Yeah, no kidding. That's, that's so crazy. I was not even expecting this to be a segment in the episode, but thank you so much for bringing this to the breadhead's attention.
00:13:05
Think Fresh
My pleasure.
00:13:08
Ty Fresh
Uh, Eric gagged so we can all reflect.
00:13:13
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. What are the topics we got? Let's let's switch gears here.
00:13:17
Ty Fresh
Oh geez.
00:13:17
Think Fresh
Let's we need a palette cleanser
00:13:17
Ty Fresh
Yeah, let's get out of here.
Cultural Celebrations: Lunar New Year and Hot Dogs
00:13:19
Ty Fresh
Okay. Um, yeah, it was lunar new year this week. I'm curious how you celebrated.
00:13:19
Think Fresh
any any feel-good stories.
00:13:26
Think Fresh
Oh Yeah, that's right um Well, let's see I had a nice Chinese dinner with my in-laws and yeah, everyone it was a potluck style dinner and I The reason for this, Ty, I've been roped into way too many potlucks so far in 2025.
00:13:43
Ty Fresh
I was going to say, dude, for a guy that goes on record hating potlucks, you go to more potlucks than anyone I've ever met. I don't get it. You're going to a monthly lock.
00:13:53
Think Fresh
Yeah, I know, dude.
00:13:55
Ty Fresh
And I get that the Chinese New Year is all about lock, but I didn't think it was this kind.
00:14:02
Think Fresh
My opening statement at the dinner party was how did I end up with this much misfortune this year?
00:14:10
Think Fresh
No, dude. we We brought some nice lettuce wraps. It's quite good. And a nice little tapioca dessert. And other people brought noodles, fried rice, some more chicken stuff.
00:14:25
Think Fresh
um And I think that's pretty much it. Oh, and some shrimp. Yeah, it was a great mix.
00:14:30
Ty Fresh
o
00:14:30
Think Fresh
all It all worked together, which is like the best case scenario for a potluck. All one cuisine designed to kind of float together, you know, seamlessly.
00:14:40
Ty Fresh
Yeah, a strong theme could take you a long way with a potluck.
00:14:44
Think Fresh
yeah There's a clear brand guidelines for this dinner, which is great.
00:14:47
Ty Fresh
Yeah, you don't want to stray.
00:14:49
Think Fresh
Yeah, but how about yourself? What did you do for a Lunar New Year?
00:14:54
Ty Fresh
Oh dude, this is lunacy. i Okay, this this time of year, long-term breadheads have always heard our complaints, but the only thing we hate more than potlucks is dine-out Vancouver.
00:15:08
Think Fresh
Oh, no.
00:15:10
Ty Fresh
And it is dine-out season, and I typically do not participate, but Eric, there was an opportunity I could not pass up.
00:15:19
Think Fresh
Okay, let's hear it.
00:15:20
Ty Fresh
A ah a local establishment was doing an all-you-can-eat, glizzy dine-out.
00:15:26
Think Fresh
What the Oh no.
00:15:28
Ty Fresh
So you know your boy had to pull up for that.
00:15:31
Think Fresh
I actually did hear, somebody told me that, hey, did you know Ty was going to and um a hot dog eating contest? I was like, what the fuck are you talking about? I'm pretty sure he's ah not doing that.
00:15:42
Think Fresh
And if he is, I really hope they're veggie dogs.
00:15:46
Ty Fresh
They were, they were veggie beyond meat dogs, but, uh, and it wasn't a contest unless you make it a contest, but I have that dog in me, Eric.
00:15:49
Think Fresh
Thank God.
00:15:55
Ty Fresh
So of course I was competitively attempting to eat more than anyone at my table.
00:16:01
Think Fresh
I love that dude. Turn every opportunity you can into a contest.
00:16:05
Ty Fresh
Exactly. So I'll run the numbers here. I had a, an appetizer of tater tots just to warm up the stomach, maybe a mistake.
00:16:14
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude.
00:16:15
Ty Fresh
And then, and then every hot, every veggie dog was about a six inch. Think of it that way. And I made it to, I consumed four full veggie dogs.
00:16:22
Think Fresh
whoa Whoa.
00:16:27
Ty Fresh
So about two foot long is worth of a hot dog.
00:16:31
Think Fresh
That's honestly an incredibly impressive tie, especially considering you had an appetizer.
00:16:33
Ty Fresh
Thank you.
00:16:36
Think Fresh
Because you know what?
00:16:36
Ty Fresh
plus appies.
00:16:38
Think Fresh
I don't know if Joey Chestnut would be the record holder he is if he was also consuming tater tots to start.
00:16:45
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude, he's kind of like, like, Joey Chestnut can only like run on the premium gas, you know, as soon as you put some other crap in there, he's gonna be sputtering.
00:16:51
Think Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:16:55
Think Fresh
Mm hmm. It's like trying to tow something with your Tesla Cybertruck. Like you're just going to rip it apart.
00:17:00
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm. It's not for that. and You build a machine for a specific job.
00:17:03
Think Fresh
It's not for that.
00:17:06
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude, built for tough.
00:17:07
Ty Fresh
I built
00:17:08
Think Fresh
You're you're built tie tough. That's awesome, man.
00:17:11
Ty Fresh
TyTuff, dude, four dogs down the hole.
00:17:14
Think Fresh
ah
00:17:14
Ty Fresh
Slop, slop, slop, slop. I didn't even dunk them in water.
00:17:18
Think Fresh
Dude, that'd be so insane for you to just dunk your hot dog in a pint of Guinness while you're eating.
00:17:24
Ty Fresh
which So it goes down easier.
00:17:26
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude, just so you can stomach it.
00:17:29
Ty Fresh
Yeah. And they were pretty girthy dogs. Like I've done, last time I did a hot dog eating contest was like a decade ago and maybe longer, maybe 15 years. And I remember getting the smallest buns and smallest wieners I could find at the grocery store because it's a numbers game, right?
00:17:46
Ty Fresh
It doesn't matter how big they are. And I think back then I had tackled six before tapping out. So.
00:17:54
Think Fresh
that's still quite impressive.
00:17:56
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:17:58
Think Fresh
Do you remember those like lunchables where you can get like the hot dog variety?
00:18:02
Ty Fresh
Oh yeah. Oh, of course. I'm a pizza man, but I've tried him.
00:18:04
Think Fresh
And then. Of course, dude, the sandwich, like the ham and cheese cracker version is probably why i'm my favorite. But the hot dog one was like another good one. You just like put the little cocktail wiener inside the tiniest little bun. You get like a couple of those and you put some ketchup on there. Dude, good times.
00:18:25
Ty Fresh
Dude, food for ants. That's what that is.
00:18:27
Think Fresh
yeah Dude, eating the lunchables in school, like you were like the most popular kid in class that day.
00:18:35
Ty Fresh
Oh yeah. I felt legit every time I'd show up with that box, you know, and start just like get, like getting to work, let them cook, you know.
00:18:43
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. It's amazing how you just give a kid a task and then he's you know satisfied for a few hours You're absolutely right dude we gotta instill those you know habits and skills early and
00:18:49
Ty Fresh
Yeah. Well, give a, give a kid a ham and cheese sandwich and they may eat for a day. They may not even like it, but make a kid make a ham and cheese cracker sandwich. They're fed for a lifetime, baby. They will eat it every time.
00:19:09
Ty Fresh
and And I think this is why Boomers always complain about participation trophies and stuff. It's like the kids aren't working hard enough to want the thing and feel like because they played a role in getting the thing that they they don't love it, you know? They just discard it. But you'll love something if you work for it. And I think that's why Subway has stood the test of time across generations. It's because you have to work for it at the way.
00:19:36
Think Fresh
who You're 100% right, dude. Do you know how many times I showed up to kindergarten or grade one with a sandwich in my backpack and I just like trade that shit immediately?
00:19:48
Ty Fresh
Oh, of course.
00:19:49
Think Fresh
and Trade that shit for someone else's lunch or just go home with the backpacks, the sandwich still in the backpack.
00:19:54
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm. Yeah, leave it in the backpack all summer breaks, do it color it turns. Dude, well, the problem is I like kids don't take good care of their things. So by the time they pull that sandwich out at recess, like it looks like it's been stepped on, like they've thrown their backpack off the jungle gym four times by then. And then it's like, this looks disgusting. Well, you made it that way, son.
00:20:17
Think Fresh
and Exactly, or it's like you put like all of your books on top of it and then it's got the sandwiches now in like a u-shape because it was at the bottom of your backpack and everything is kind of just on top of it.
00:20:29
Ty Fresh
Yeah dude, you're like I don't want to eat this 4D food.
00:20:32
Think Fresh
Oh dude, oh shit. those Those are the times, man. I remember getting so bored of having the same sandwich for lunch every day but I don't know, now I just kind of like appreciate that at least there was a sandwich for me to eat.
00:20:46
Ty Fresh
that's true you could have lived a very different life starting from a sandwich restaurant it's kind of like how anakin skywalker you know how he like hates the sand in star wars because of his upbringing i wonder if art yeah he's always like i hate the sand it gets everywhere i don't know i know
00:20:47
Think Fresh
yeah i know dude that's wild he hates the sand fuck that movie bro dude that he's in a desert isn't he like the whole movie's in a desert talk about being grateful
00:21:10
Ty Fresh
Yeah, that's why he hates
Food Appreciation Advice for the Young
00:21:13
Ty Fresh
for sure. Like he's put some respect back on your roots, you know, but I would imagine our our eight year old listener, he ate the eight year old bread head.
00:21:23
Ty Fresh
I wonder if he hates sandwiches or if he's embraced them. I can't help but wonder.
00:21:27
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm We definitely have a few eight-year-old listeners and to them I say please eat your lunch say thank you to whoever made it for you and Don't trade that shit for you know, whatever your friend has just eat it and be grateful.
00:21:43
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm. Just eat it. Yeah, because one day you won't have a consistent sandwich every day and you'll have to go to a sandwich restaurant and make all the decisions on your own. And it's a burden as much as it is the privilege.
00:21:55
Think Fresh
I
00:21:58
Ty Fresh
So enjoy it while it lasts.
00:22:00
Think Fresh
See, this is beautiful advice. That's it's tough. It's a tough pill to swallow a tie. Eventually, we're all going to have to be the sandwich artists, whether we like it or not.
00:22:09
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude, um tough dog to swallow too. I do wanna circle back on my hot dog affair and just inform you, Eric, that I was extremely full after the fourth hot dog to the point that I thought I might vomit.
00:22:25
Ty Fresh
And I just, I got the, ah the like the thousand yard stare and I had to just waddle home and go to bed. I was so full, I could barely, barely move.
00:22:35
Think Fresh
Whoa.
00:22:36
Ty Fresh
Like I felt sick, I was getting beyond meat sweats.
00:22:36
Think Fresh
So...
00:22:40
Think Fresh
Dude, beyond meat sweats are terrifying. It's kind of like the Gatorade commercial where you're sweating green.
00:22:47
Think Fresh
You're like sweating lime green. Like, what the fuck?
00:22:49
Ty Fresh
Dude, I don't know why Gatorade thinks that's what's going to sell their product. It's like if you have.
00:22:55
Think Fresh
Is it in you, Tai?
00:22:57
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:22:57
Think Fresh
Are the four hot dogs in you?
00:23:01
Think Fresh
So you mentioned that you turned this into a contest. Who were you with? And did they consume anywhere close to four hot dogs?
00:23:09
Ty Fresh
Yeah, me and, uh, me and one of my friends, we both tapped out at four. We, we didn't, we didn't want to push each other any longer.
00:23:14
Think Fresh
Hmm.
00:23:17
Ty Fresh
We decided to call it an honorable tie, which is me.
00:23:21
Think Fresh
Wow, so a draw, if you will.
00:23:23
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:23:23
Think Fresh
So I mean, out of spite, I would have like went to the bathroom, quote unquote, and then ordered one more at the bar or that or just up chuck. That's another option, too.
00:23:34
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude. I bet you Joey chest has done that a few times.
00:23:37
Think Fresh
Yeah, I'm sure he does that after every competition, like you don't want to down those calories. Like, why not just just get rid of it?
00:23:43
Ty Fresh
No, you don't want to put that weight on. and who To be a competitive eater, I feel like you have to be in the best shape of your life.
00:23:46
Think Fresh
You know, totally healthy eating habit.
00:23:55
Think Fresh
And that and that shape is pear.
00:23:58
Ty Fresh
That shape is pumpkin.
00:24:00
Think Fresh
Oh, no. Yotai, I want to talk to you about some pretty exciting news today because it is the last day of the month and um sometimes fun things happen on the last day
Popeyes and Don Julio Collaboration
00:24:14
Think Fresh
of the month when it's a Friday.
00:24:14
Ty Fresh
Dude, happy payday to those who celebrate.
00:24:19
Think Fresh
Yeah, exactly. We get paid monthly. Today is a big day for you, but
00:24:22
Ty Fresh
who
00:24:23
Think Fresh
Ty, I actually want to talk to you about a world famous collaboration, two juggernauts in the food and beverage industry, combining forces the day before Black History Month.
00:24:32
Ty Fresh
Whoa.
00:24:34
Ty Fresh
Whoa, tell me more.
00:24:37
Think Fresh
Popeyes and Don Julio.
00:24:39
Ty Fresh
What?
00:24:40
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude, have you have you heard about this?
00:24:40
Ty Fresh
What an unexpected combo. No, I haven't.
00:24:45
Think Fresh
Dude, a buzzard beater fucking collab on Black History Month, Don Julio and Popeyes, There's a few items that um are going to be available, I believe, at several Popeyes locations.
00:25:00
Think Fresh
um Should I just run them off?
00:25:00
Ty Fresh
All right. Yeah, I run them back. I'm so curious what type of menu these two are going to create.
00:25:06
Think Fresh
Great. So first one is the Popeyes and by Tequila Don Julio Repocido Flavored Concharol Chicken Sandwich.
00:25:15
Ty Fresh
Oh, shit. So they're putting the the Julio in the sauce or in the like in the they're like tossing it in it.
00:25:24
Think Fresh
Yeah, I guess so. The tequila is going to be flavoring the sauce. It also looks like the bun is different. It looks like some kind of I'm going to guess it's like a Mexican style bun.
00:25:35
Think Fresh
I've never seen this before, but it's a concha roll.
00:25:36
Ty Fresh
Mm.
00:25:39
Think Fresh
I've never heard of this, have you?
00:25:41
Ty Fresh
No, I haven't, but I like the sound of it. Cloncha roll.
00:25:45
Think Fresh
OK, so it is a Mexican breakfast item made out of fluffy butter brioche like dough topped with a streusel topping.
00:25:55
Ty Fresh
Interesting. Okay, so you got the pawn.
00:25:56
Think Fresh
So it's kind of like a sweet um brioche kind of bun.
00:26:00
Ty Fresh
which sounds like the perfect combo with a little bit of like crunchy chicken and maybe a bit of heat from that vodka sauce.
00:26:10
Think Fresh
Tequila, but yeah.
00:26:11
Ty Fresh
Dude, you're getting all by a la vodka right here.
00:26:13
Think Fresh
Mm hmm. It's unclear whether the sauce actually contains any of the tequila flavoring, but um it's possible.
00:26:25
Ty Fresh
interesting okay do we have any other anything else in the lineup okay sounds really good dude tequila combined with garlic makes so much sense
00:26:27
Think Fresh
Okay, yeah, there's two more, two more. um We have the Reposado Flavored Louisiana Garlic Three Piece Wings. Fuck, that sounds so good.
00:26:44
Think Fresh
It does, and it looks like it's gonna be spicy as well. Okay, and then the last one is, this is to really round out the meal.
00:26:56
Think Fresh
got the Popeyes spicy strawberry hibiscus flavored lemonade mocktail yeah dude that's right so yeah it looks like something you might drink on like um
00:27:02
Ty Fresh
Yo, okay. So this is the only fluid option in the arrangement.
00:27:14
Think Fresh
like Dominican Republic Day, and Dominican or Independence Day or something, like on the streets of the Bronx.
00:27:15
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:27:18
Ty Fresh
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:20
Think Fresh
But now this looks really good, dude.
00:27:22
Ty Fresh
So
00:27:23
Think Fresh
And just they won't advertise this, but I'm thinking if you just throw an an additional shot of tequila in there, that might really kind of turn things up a notch.
00:27:31
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I like that idea. I'm wondering, this one explicitly says mocktail, but I'm wondering if you need to show ID to order the other two. And if there's even a chance of getting a little little silly off those two.
00:27:39
Think Fresh
Hmm.
00:27:44
Ty Fresh
Because if not, I would just pour tequila over all three.
00:27:48
Think Fresh
Mm hmm. Mm hmm. That's wild, bro. What isn't there like a.
00:27:52
Ty Fresh
um
00:27:55
Think Fresh
Like a steakhouse somewhere in Miami or something where they're like the poor Hennessy on your steak.
00:28:02
Think Fresh
I feel like I've seen this on reels, maybe.
00:28:05
Ty Fresh
It would be kind of sick, though, if they did it just to light it on fire, torch it.
00:28:09
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's fire, a quick sear.
00:28:10
Ty Fresh
A quick grilling. Yeah. Quick sear. It would be very performative.
00:28:13
Think Fresh
Yeah. Mm hmm. um and Honestly, all of these sound like hits to me. It's the, I'll be honest, the sweet bread ah bun. I don't know if that's going to hit for me personally. It does look quite interesting, but I don't know. I think the whole lineup is, it's a buy for me. It's a strong buy.
00:28:35
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I agree, dude. They are doing a great job of both. I think the, the approach here is really smart. It's a small assortment, three items. They all would work together as like one order.
00:28:47
Ty Fresh
You can get the sandwich, the wings and a drink and be like completely immersed in the Don Julio lore.
00:28:52
Think Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:28:52
Ty Fresh
I am a little confused why it's a three piece wing set. I don't know any chickens with three wings. So what happened to the fourth doesn't make any sense to me, but
00:29:02
Think Fresh
It's pretty insane that, uh, like you can just order one part of the chicken, but get it as many times as you want. Like you can get like 100 wings and that's like 50 chickens died for that.
00:29:09
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:29:13
Think Fresh
But like, how do we know that the breasts are accounted for, you know?
00:29:18
Ty Fresh
You're right. The economy of scale, we're we're really relying on it to resolve the rest of the chicken.
00:29:26
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude, it's we're kind of using the honor system with the with the whole like order one part of the chicken only.
00:29:34
Ty Fresh
Yeah, just hope that someone out there is a breast man.
00:29:39
Think Fresh
I mean, that's there's no doubt about that. um Yeah, good stuff. This this will be only available at a few locations. So Miami, New York, New Orleans, Philly, Kansas, one location each.
00:29:54
Think Fresh
Um, and it's already sold out. So good luck to all the bread heads out there.
00:29:57
Ty Fresh
Oh, dude, I'm on the Popeyes website and it says here that wall supplies last in six less restaurants, as you just said, but for customers 21 and up.
00:30:16
Ty Fresh
So that means there's enough tequila in here that hasn't been burned off in the deep fryer that these are actually alcoholic.
00:30:16
Think Fresh
Oh.
00:30:24
Think Fresh
Hmm, that's kind of questionable.
00:30:27
Ty Fresh
Yeah, a little bit.
00:30:29
Think Fresh
Huh, interesting. I mean, does this also mean that the staff now has bottles of Don Julio kind of lying around the kitchen? And are they like, I mean, if I was working there, I would probably take one home if I'm being honest.
00:30:38
Ty Fresh
Whoa. I would too. Dude, yeah, you're gonna, they're gonna be seeing a lot more job applicants this week.
00:30:49
Think Fresh
Definitely. Uh, let's see here. Yeah, it must be 21 plus. I see that as well.
00:30:55
Ty Fresh
Interesting. It says it's a mock sale, but maybe they're offering in-house. They don't want to shout about it, but maybe they're offering a non, like an alcoholic version as well, which would honestly hit. That's where Don's going to have the most expertise when he hopped in the lab with the Popeye.
00:31:15
Think Fresh
Mr. Popeye. um What's kind of cool though is how they're redoing the chicken sandwich because I don't know if you remember like five, six years ago now, the craze that was the Popeyes chicken sandwich.
00:31:31
Think Fresh
I have a story about this tie.
00:31:34
Ty Fresh
Tell me more.
00:31:35
Think Fresh
This was before it was like, I guess, known to me that the Popeyes chicken sandwich was a thing. I was in Chicago and I remember like going to Popeye's and it was closed or something and then a dude drove by like really fast hanging out the side of his car holding a Popeye's bag and screaming at us being like, I got the chicken sandwich.
00:32:02
Think Fresh
Yeah, I was like, what the fuck is he talking about?
00:32:02
Ty Fresh
yeah
00:32:03
Think Fresh
And then I realized like, oh, it's actually a coveted menu item that isn't available for everybody.
00:32:09
Ty Fresh
Oh, you have to know someone who knows someone. I gotcha.
00:32:12
Think Fresh
Yeah, I mean, it's sold out or like super long lines or whatever.
00:32:12
Ty Fresh
The.
00:32:16
Think Fresh
So it's hard to get your paws on one of those things these days.
00:32:19
Ty Fresh
Hmm, the fast food, the Birkin of fast food.
00:32:23
Think Fresh
Yeah, exactly. You got to order, you know, the double double combo, the six piece bucket before you have an opportunity to buy the sandwich.
00:32:30
Ty Fresh
Hmm. Exactly. I was unfamiliar with this lore as well. Eric has someone who doesn't eat chicken whatsoever. I bet and seldom even think about them the poultry.
00:32:41
Ty Fresh
I had no idea.
00:32:43
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude, I'm kind of a poultry guy over here.
00:32:45
Ty Fresh
Wow.
00:32:46
Think Fresh
I love I love me some chicken.
00:32:49
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude. Well, you are what you eat.
00:32:52
Think Fresh
Clock clock.
00:32:53
Ty Fresh
glu and buck but um um
00:32:59
Think Fresh
Amazing.
00:32:59
Ty Fresh
Cool.
00:32:59
Think Fresh
Oh, you also get a a five dollar code to redeem on tequila Don Julio.
00:32:59
Ty Fresh
Well, thank you for sharing that with me here.
Imagining Subway and Liquor Partnerships
00:33:07
Think Fresh
Whatever that means, I'm assuming that's the website.
00:33:07
Ty Fresh
Oh, sweet.
00:33:11
Think Fresh
Sweet.
00:33:11
Ty Fresh
Dude, this is huge for both brands. I think this is, it's very seldom you see a collab that makes sense, but this just feels like it makes sense.
00:33:19
Think Fresh
I think so, too. Who would you like to see Subway collaborate with? Like, is there a liquor company out there?
00:33:24
Ty Fresh
Hmm.
00:33:28
Think Fresh
And don't say it's a rock.
00:33:33
Ty Fresh
it does make the most sense uh well let's see subway is all about sport so Gatorade makes the most sense but i think we already carry Gatorade and they haven't done anything interesting with it so
00:33:34
Think Fresh
It does.
00:33:42
Think Fresh
Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
00:33:49
Think Fresh
Yeah, we're where we got to go. Liquor tie. What it's what is what is something spicy that you can ah freak into the menu in some way.
00:34:02
Ty Fresh
this is ah This is a tough question.
00:34:07
Ty Fresh
Hmm. It would be cool if we turned the marinara into a great goose vodka sauce.
00:34:14
Think Fresh
Oh.
00:34:15
Ty Fresh
But that doesn't feel very subway. Subway wouldn't go that highbrow.
00:34:18
Think Fresh
A little rosé.
00:34:20
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:34:21
Think Fresh
that's nice um i like this i'm thinking let's go a little bit more let's go fresh okay i think we gotta go freshen things up and um i might go with a nice little chartreuse yeah dude a little chartreuse infused green goddess dressing would be fuego
00:34:34
Ty Fresh
Ooh.
00:34:41
Ty Fresh
That sounds awesome, dude. I was trying to figure out how to get like a sprinter colab in my head, but I couldn't figure it out. Maybe you can help me connect the dots.
00:34:52
Think Fresh
This is a reference to our last episode in the Sprinter van.
00:34:56
Ty Fresh
Sort of.
00:34:57
Think Fresh
Okay. Wait, what do you mean then?
00:35:00
Ty Fresh
Hmm.
00:35:01
Think Fresh
Sprinter?
00:35:03
Ty Fresh
the uh of the the the novelty seltzer brand from the Jenner dynasty have you tried sprinters what i'll pull it up for you to see Kylie Jenner's uh no this is Kylie Jenner's sport string it's a vodka soda called sprinter have you i'm dude you are usually first on the scene with this here i'll show you a picture of it
00:35:09
Think Fresh
What? No, I've never heard that. What the hell is that? You don't mean cacti.
00:35:25
Think Fresh
No, I've never heard of this.
00:35:31
Ty Fresh
It's kind of like, I've seen the packaging at um like Trader Joe's and stuff.
00:35:36
Think Fresh
Oh, interesting.
00:35:38
Ty Fresh
Yeah, it's a kind of cool looking. Kylie's attempting to, once again, that we have a little bit of sibling rivalry here in the alcohol industry, but it looks pretty good.
00:35:48
Think Fresh
Yeah. yeah
00:35:49
Ty Fresh
I personally haven't tried it. If anyone has tried it, sound off on the comments.
00:35:55
Think Fresh
Hmm, yeah, interesting. ah Below this, there was a recommendation section that said, you may also like Smirnoff pink lemonade vodka.
00:36:05
Ty Fresh
Dude that's the kind of shit Subway would, yeah that's what Subway would actually collab with.
00:36:05
Think Fresh
And that kind of tells me everything.
00:36:09
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:36:10
Ty Fresh
Inclaminated vodka.
00:36:12
Think Fresh
I mean, if you think about it, like you're going to Subway after probably consuming a liter of that stuff.
00:36:17
Ty Fresh
Yeah fair enough.
00:36:20
Think Fresh
Or the like Malibu, and the the coconut Malibu.
00:36:20
Ty Fresh
Or because you.
00:36:23
Think Fresh
That's the other one.
00:36:25
Ty Fresh
Dude, the only reasons to go to Subway are you're like just geeked off the coconut Malibu or your water just broke.
00:36:34
Think Fresh
Or both. Who knows, man. Maybe that girl was, you know, worried about fetal alcohol poisoning.
00:36:36
Ty Fresh
oh Damn.
00:36:40
Think Fresh
So she's like, let me just flush them down the toilet.
00:36:43
Ty Fresh
Yeah, that is so sad.
00:36:45
Think Fresh
It's insane. It's fucked, man.
00:36:46
Ty Fresh
What a somber note to end this episode on.
00:36:49
Think Fresh
Yeah, well, there you have it. bre Thanks for listening. Episode 401 will be back on Tuesday. Have a great weekend.
00:37:01
Ty Fresh
Think Fresh, everybody. Ciao.
