Ty laughs from afar as Eric attempts to drink a beer, record a podcast, and avoid nosey onlookers from the trunk of his car. They also discuss the cast of villains namedropped on Kanye’s new tracklist, double-gloving at Subway for protection, how fentanyl can improve your occupational prospects, the Sandwich Artist obsession with anime, and inventing a new fish.

Eric's Unconventional Podcast Setup

00:00:52
Think Fresh
Yo, yo, yo.
00:00:54
Ty Fresh
Breadheads, braheads breadheads, breadheads. Last episode, we started off coming from one of the worst places in America, a prison system in the United States.
00:01:06
Ty Fresh
But this episode, we come to you from somewhere even far worse. Eric, can you describe your location right now?
00:01:14
Think Fresh
We come in in peace. ah I'm from the from the park right now, Ty. I'm calling you from the park. But the weird thing about it, because we've called from the park before, i am um my laptop open in the trunk right now.
00:01:24
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:01:29
Think Fresh
And I am hotspotting and I'm drinking a beer while standing outside my vehicle. ah So this is the this is the only legal way i can come up with that allows me to be in a park, um call you remotely, be near my car, and have an open beverage.
00:01:48
Ty Fresh
Dude, this is insane looking. i have you on video right now and this is just the craziest angle. You look like you're like a men in black character with your your district vision sunglasses on and your giant black microphone.
00:01:57
Think Fresh
Dude...
00:02:01
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. um Definitely getting some looks here, but it does look like I'm reporting live on the crime scene here in downtown Eastside.
00:02:11
Ty Fresh
the way the wire of the microphone is just kind of ominously going into your trunk.
00:02:17
Think Fresh
Yeah. It's like bro's literally talking to his trunk right now. It's actually fucked.
00:02:20
Ty Fresh
This is crazy. I've never seen anything more ridiculous than this hammering.
00:02:23
Think Fresh
It's crazy, bro.
00:02:25
Think Fresh
i you know what, Ty, this is a creative solution because i fully expected you to see me in person today, but you decided to stay home. Even though was beautiful sunny day, patios are open.
00:02:38
Think Fresh
um Our favorite pancake shop slash wine garden has opened their patio at four today instead of five. So I thought you'd maybe join, but I don't know.

Culinary Delights at Honey Bee

00:02:49
Think Fresh
I guess ah you have better things to do.
00:02:49
Ty Fresh
Oh, dude.
00:02:51
Ty Fresh
That is really wild that Honey Bee sells like the best wine and pancakes in the city. What is up that?
00:02:57
Think Fresh
And pizza.
00:02:58
Ty Fresh
Like you get to some beautiful ricotta pancakes and a glass of bubbly orange all at the same time.
00:03:05
Think Fresh
You could say that they're experts on the flat dough. Any kind of flat dough. Like pizza or pancake. You name it.
00:03:13
Ty Fresh
Yeah, 100%. You're pros.
00:03:16
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:03:18
Ty Fresh
So a lot going on today,

More Park Antics

00:03:20
Ty Fresh
Eric. You are clearly the star of this episode right now as you crush that beer. It's just so funny that you're doing it like in a park. there's I can hear children playing in the background.
00:03:32
Ty Fresh
Every time you take a swig, you just like look around. You're definitely going to get arrested live on episode.
00:03:37
Think Fresh
If I have to interrogate the cops, I'll leave the mic running. Don't worry.
00:03:41
Ty Fresh
Thank you.
00:03:42
Think Fresh
um i do so much for this fucking podcast. It's unbelievable. I don't know if you can see on my video feed here.
00:03:47
Ty Fresh
No kidding.
00:03:51
Think Fresh
There is a black box protruding into the camera. That is my six-disc CD changer in my trunk.
00:03:56
Ty Fresh
presently
00:04:00
Ty Fresh
Oh, wow. you So if you want to change the CD-ROM, you have to pull over, get out of the vehicle, and walk to the back.
00:04:08
Think Fresh
Well, that's the whole point of having six disk changer tie. You don't have to do that. You can pick one of your six.
00:04:14
Ty Fresh
That's true. You're safe six.
00:04:16
Think Fresh
Yeah, exactly. just It's like the Rogers My5 or whatever. do you remember that? You have to use five friends to have unlimited text with.
00:04:21
Ty Fresh
this is
00:04:26
Ty Fresh
those were the good old days when you got to rank your friends like and it all it changed on a weekly basis too felt so good
00:04:32
Think Fresh
hmm. Yeah, I know, dude. When I demoted someone out of my top five, it was a sad day for them. But good day for me because that means I get to text a new shorty unlimited.
00:04:44
Ty Fresh
dude good good day for them too because they're they're working up the ranks you know
00:04:48
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's right. You've made it into my top five. Top five, top five, top five.
00:04:51
Ty Fresh
well I feel like that was the closest that humans could get to like playing like playing their life on a reality show because that's like what you do every reality show is at the end of the episode you rank each other and then someone gets voted off.
00:05:07
Think Fresh
Yeah, exactly. There's a communal fire pit where everyone just kind of airs out their grievances and then somebody gets shot in the head.
00:05:14
Ty Fresh
Yeah, removed from the group chat.
00:05:16
Think Fresh
not
00:05:17
Ty Fresh
Wow. Wow.
00:05:18
Think Fresh
You know what, Ty? I'm actually going look before I sip this time. I'm going to quick scan.
00:05:23
Ty Fresh
Yeah, that doesn't look dodgy at all.
00:05:24
Think Fresh
Yep.
00:05:26
Think Fresh
I'm allowed to sip. I'm drinking this nice Beva Lager, Ty, from Beva Brewing. I've never heard of before, but it is in North Vancouver.
00:05:34
Ty Fresh
Yes, I've been to Beva. They have some of the best sandwiches on the North Shore, according to Beva.
00:05:38
Think Fresh
Oh, wow. Oh, wow. um I really like their can design. don't know if you can see it, but it's super dark in my trunk.
00:05:47
Ty Fresh
just showing me a pitch black can.
00:05:47
Think Fresh
um Yeah, it's um maybe thats a little better. It's like a blue checker, kind of like the Croatian flag, except blue.
00:05:53
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:05:56
Think Fresh
So I was drawn to it.
00:05:57
Ty Fresh
Hmm. It's a checker time of year, so I'm here for it too.
00:06:00
Think Fresh
so
00:06:03
Think Fresh
Ty, one quick observation. um I'm never, even if I'm podcasting with a beer in my trunk, I'm not the weirdest person at this park. There's two people just walked by with clipboards who are clearly looking for signatures for some kind, and I won't be entertaining that at all, I don't think.
00:06:22
Ty Fresh
No, you gotta, yeah, I'll sign your petition here. Hold my mic.
00:06:28
Think Fresh
Got any words?
00:06:30
Ty Fresh
Anything you'd like to say to the the world's worst demographic?
00:06:32
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:06:34
Think Fresh
yeah
00:06:37
Ty Fresh
ah
00:06:37
Think Fresh
to a couple of sandwich enjoyers and better help users.

Kanye's Controversial Album Leak

00:06:41
Ty Fresh
who Speaking of pure evil, Eric, we got to talk about the leaked track list for Kanye's new album.
00:06:50
Think Fresh
Oh god. Yeah, there's a lot to take in there. Do you have it pulled up on your on your screen there?
00:06:57
Ty Fresh
I will right now. um So Kanye posted this to Instagram, the infamous X, at some point this week.
00:07:07
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:07:07
Ty Fresh
And it's just a song titles, but the number of names listed in this track list episode titles is is' like more extensive than the Epstein list.
00:07:21
Think Fresh
Wow.
00:07:21
Ty Fresh
Hmm.
00:07:21
Think Fresh
Okay, so the track was dropped and I do recall seeing like a bunch of scribbles on like a legal notepad.
00:07:29
Ty Fresh
Mm
00:07:29
Think Fresh
And um it's a lot of the songs are just like someone's first name or last name. Actually, there was Cosby.
00:07:35
Ty Fresh
hmm. Yeah, you nailed it. Cosby at track two.
00:07:37
Think Fresh
There was there was Bianca.
00:07:40
Ty Fresh
Yeah, track five.
00:07:42
Think Fresh
The infamous some hate him, some love him, Hitler.
00:07:48
Ty Fresh
Yeah, Hitler gets two references, track seven and eight. Seven is Hail Hitler and eight is Hitler, Yay and Jesus.
00:07:52
Think Fresh
Wow.
00:07:55
Ty Fresh
The real three musketeers right there.
00:07:57
Think Fresh
Holy shit. A real three-headed snake.
00:08:00
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:08:00
Think Fresh
um I know there's one more. do you want to do the honors?
00:08:04
Ty Fresh
Well, we've got to work our way up to that. I want to also comment on ah track three, which is Free Diddy. track Track five, just Bianca.
00:08:11
Think Fresh
Oh, wow.
00:08:15
Think Fresh
Yep.
00:08:16
Ty Fresh
alluding to his ex-wife and track number six Virgil let me down so funny
00:08:21
Think Fresh
Damn, dude. Dude, this guy. It's like nothing is like you you could argue that like Kanye has hidden meetings and all this music like over the years. He's like really put a lot of thought into like how he wants to like convey his emotional struggles or whatever.
00:08:39
Think Fresh
Now he's just like letting it all go in the subject line.
00:08:43
Ty Fresh
100% like dude the track I'm most excited about is 11 which is track nitrous this is an insane insane if these are actually ah like actual songs for this to be the subject matter
00:08:49
Think Fresh
ah shit Dude, hone me off that nitrous.
00:09:00
Think Fresh
Ty, I'll be honest. The more I drink this beer, the more normal it feels for me to stand here with the mic in my hand in in the parking lot of this park.
00:09:07
Ty Fresh
talking about hailing Hitler
00:09:08
Think Fresh
yeah i think it's important to mention that we condone the Nazi movement.
00:09:14
Ty Fresh
Absolutely. We do not stand with this track list, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't like good journalist integrity would be to discuss it.
00:09:25
Ty Fresh
So I think we exactly.
00:09:25
Think Fresh
exactly as I sip this Bavarian lager
00:09:29
Ty Fresh
um So we should talk about the most important track Twitter. this uh list which is track number nine eric and this one caught my attention and your attention right away because it just it just like all the others it is in name but it is not a name with the same fame

Mixed Feelings on 'World War III'

00:09:50
Ty Fresh
as diddy or cosby or hitty we'll call them
00:09:55
Think Fresh
And if we think back to one of our previous episodes, it has declined declined rapidly in popularity. I don't know what it was, like 2005 or whatever.
00:10:03
Ty Fresh
z
00:10:05
Think Fresh
Nobody named their kid Jared. And that's the name.
00:10:07
Ty Fresh
no one named that's the dude there it is track number nine is just jared i am gobsmacked there's no like it's like the list of like a bunch of evil celebrities and then jared it's it's got to be our jared right
00:10:08
Think Fresh
I just leaked it.
00:10:23
Think Fresh
Yeah, I don't know.
00:10:26
Think Fresh
dude i can only think of one evil jared and it's the one who we tried to get on the pod last episode
00:10:35
Ty Fresh
Yeah, exactly. There's only one evil Jared.
00:10:38
Think Fresh
yeah i don't know what to do ty um if this drops do we do we go and listen to it do we avoid it at all costs do we play it on the episode like what do we do
00:10:51
Ty Fresh
I'm not really sure what to do. I don't think this is ever going to drop. up I think this is simply a list of this. is This is fantasy for yay. I think this is just he's trying to just drum up the tension.
00:11:03
Think Fresh
yeah i think it's important to mention ty we heard the single for this alleged album which is world war three don't if you've heard the song because it did come out on youtube i think or actually people were saying there was like ah another kanye account on like apple music and spotify that had the song did you did you listen to it
00:11:12
Ty Fresh
Mm. o
00:11:24
Ty Fresh
Oh, I listened to the, like the bully music. I guess you'd call it like a a visual album.
00:11:32
Think Fresh
experience. yeah
00:11:34
Ty Fresh
It was actually weirdly good. ah it was really warm and like, it felt like reminiscent of old Kanye and it had, yeah, it just had this like comfort to it despite it.
00:11:37
Think Fresh
I liked it a lot.
00:11:48
Ty Fresh
I didn't, I don't, didn't really dig into the subject matter, but I'm assuming that it was terrible.
00:11:53
Think Fresh
Yeah, absolutely. i yeah it's very I'm assuming it's offensive. I don't know. I don't feel anything anymore.
00:11:58
Think Fresh
um
00:11:59
Ty Fresh
No.
00:11:59
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:11:59
Think Fresh
But you're right. I liked it as well. Musically, it feels like Kanye's back. Like, ah honestly, it sounded better than Vulture's 2 and 1, if I'm being honest.
00:12:05
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:12:10
Think Fresh
Much shorter, but kind of interesting production.
00:12:10
Ty Fresh
yeah
00:12:14
Think Fresh
um The visual was a kid, which I think was his son. I'm not 100% certain, but I think it's Saint. And he was fighting a bunch of...
00:12:23
Ty Fresh
it
00:12:27
Think Fresh
luchador wrestlers or something in a in a boxing ring with an inflatable mallet. Is that accurate, would you say?
00:12:37
Ty Fresh
That was very well described. it was It wasn't a real fight. It was play fight tickle fighting, if you will. It was akin to playtime with a rubber mallet.
00:12:47
Think Fresh
Yeah, um which was kind of cool acting on all the wrestlers parts. um I can't say the same with the kid. He's got to go to acting school. But ah so I'm looking at the camera a couple times.
00:12:59
Ty Fresh
Send him you yeah ah They're not teaching very good stuff at Parsons these days, are they?
00:13:07
Think Fresh
Definitely not, dude. The Donda Academy does not have a strong acting program.
00:13:14
Ty Fresh
Wow. So, so yeah, I'm assuming World War Three was one of the tracks on that cheeky little YouTube mockumentary of ah UFC.
00:13:26
Think Fresh
I guess so. um Yeah, I don't know. i don't know what's going to happen with that because I would like to give it out a second listen, but I just can't be sitting in front of my TV to listen to an album.
00:13:36
Think Fresh
I, you know, I need that shit in the car. Like I can't be like downloading a Vimeo link, you know, to watch his shit.
00:13:39
Ty Fresh
one hundred you
00:13:43
Think Fresh
So I don't know. Hopefully he smartens up and drops it on Tidal.
00:13:49
Ty Fresh
That would be the move because I'm not paying for another streaming platform. I'm not getting YouTube music, any not in this lifetime. So the best option for me is to just leave the YouTube video playing in my pocket while I listen to it on my AirPods.
00:13:56
Think Fresh
Hell nah.
00:14:04
Ty Fresh
And that just feels so unpalatably pedestrian.
00:14:08
Think Fresh
Yeah, the worst part about this album is people will see if you're listening to it. Like, on the train or whatever. yeah mean, you'll just have a video of that playing.
00:14:15
Ty Fresh
yeah there's yeah there's no discretion anymore it's terrible well
00:14:17
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. So but what do you think of the World War III single? I think it's the first track on the album.
00:14:28
Ty Fresh
i genuinely cannot remember which one it was so you're gonna have to describe it to me using well i guess we could try to play it oh no we probably shouldn't
00:14:36
Think Fresh
I would strongly advise we do not play it because it was filled with anti-Semitic remarks. Um... racial slurs.
00:14:49
Think Fresh
like Not even like the ones that are like acceptable in music. like The really bad slurs.
00:14:56
Ty Fresh
Mmm.
00:14:56
Think Fresh
I'm talking about e like the ER ones.
00:14:59
Ty Fresh
Mmm. Uh-oh.
00:14:59
Think Fresh
so yeah We don't want to play that. We don't want to support that. but ah yeah Just a truly mind-boggling artistic choice. I don't know, Ty. Did you...
00:15:11
Think Fresh
Did you see the interview with academics where Kanye was dressed in the black leather KKK outfit?
00:15:19
Ty Fresh
i do Dude, the look on Ak's face when Connie walked in. It was like, dude, the guy's probably thinking like, oh no, what did I did i get myself into here?
00:15:26
Think Fresh
Dude, that was some funny shit.
00:15:32
Think Fresh
Yeah, that was absolutely fucked up. I watched the entire thing start to finish and ah watching.
00:15:35
Ty Fresh
No.
00:15:38
Think Fresh
I should I had lied. I watched the first like the part where he like walks into the Chateau Marmont, which was like really entertaining to see academics not find the elevator.
00:15:45
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:15:48
Think Fresh
um And then he walked into the room, did some stuff, moved his like Nintendo Switch. but I don't know if you saw that.
00:15:58
Ty Fresh
I missed that. That's so funny.
00:16:00
Think Fresh
Yeah, just Kanye being like a normal guy and then saying the most insane shit on in his in his music and on Twitter is just so strange, man. But it is what it is.
00:16:10
Ty Fresh
yeah I think he's starting to separate himself from the term normal guy. Like, I think we I don't think we have we have much more runway with that claim.
00:16:20
Think Fresh
Yeah, no. Yeah, I don't think so. I think ah that term is reserved for... but you you could even argue Fogle was a normal guy more than Kanye. Yeah. you know
00:16:30
Ty Fresh
Dude, normalcy is relative for sure.
00:16:33
Think Fresh
Yeah, absolutely. It's like as soon as somebody moves the like goalpost on normal, then everyone before them is more normal than before, if that makes sense.
00:16:42
Ty Fresh
and that's the crazy thing about, I think, just the internet these days is that it's radicalizing everybody. so everyone is now like a different degree of perceived normalcy than they were prior. Everyone's a little bit kookier. Yeah.
00:16:57
Think Fresh
Yep. Everyone's little kookier, and that is the world I like to live in, but I gotta to say, Ty, sometimes kooky's got its limits.
00:17:06
Ty Fresh
It comes with some good and it comes with some bad.

Debating the Best Dip: Is Sour Cream Superior?

00:17:10
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:17:10
Ty Fresh
Like this is the same world that has like the subway Dorito nacho footlong. You know, there's there's another example of bad cookie. Or the footlong cookie is bad cookie.
00:17:20
Think Fresh
Dude, I have...
00:17:25
Think Fresh
Damn, people are starting to look, Ty. I'm laughing too hard over here while talking to my trunk. um I gotta say, I got some nacho ingredients cooling in the fridge right now, Ty. I plan on making them on Sunday.
00:17:38
Ty Fresh
Oh, wow.
00:17:38
Think Fresh
Any words of advice for me, Ty?
00:17:41
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I think just like a good sandwich, put the toppings in the nachos, put the sauce in the nachos.
00:17:48
Think Fresh
Oh, layer that shit.
00:17:48
Ty Fresh
This is what I always do. You see, yeah, later that shit. I don't want no dunking of the chip. The chip should just have all the material in the base model ready to go. You shouldn't have to like do anything so like additional in order to enjoy that chip.
00:18:05
Think Fresh
Bro, that is such a great point. If you can eat the nachos without any dip, those are some damn good nachos.
00:18:11
Ty Fresh
who
00:18:12
Think Fresh
Would you even go as far as to gollop?
00:18:13
Ty Fresh
Yeah, 100%.
00:18:16
Think Fresh
Gollop? Gobble? I'm not sure.
00:18:18
Ty Fresh
so i
00:18:19
Think Fresh
Gobble some ah sour cream directly onto the chip? Or is it strictly a dip move?
00:18:25
Ty Fresh
I'm pretty sure golloping is what a horse does. gollops.
00:18:31
Think Fresh
Dude, I'm galloping to the kitchen because I'm so hungry now. But like, what what ah was that called? dollop? A dollop.
00:18:38
Ty Fresh
ah dollop a dollop of gollop.
00:18:43
Think Fresh
I don't know, dude. Would you put sauce directly on the chip is what I'm saying.
00:18:48
Ty Fresh
You know, if I'm backed into a corner, I will do anything to my chip to enjoy a meal. And that includes dunking it in sour cream, guac, salsa, you name it. But it's not my preference. i am I like to think that I'm a little bit more upscale than that.
00:19:05
Ty Fresh
Doing the dunk, especially the double dip, it's just it's brutal, man.
00:19:12
Think Fresh
Alright, so be honest with me, Ty. Are you team Squirt or Cream Team?
00:19:19
Ty Fresh
are you describing whether I like a wet sauce or a creamy one?
00:19:23
Think Fresh
Sure.
00:19:26
Ty Fresh
Creamy? A little fat never hurt.
00:19:27
Think Fresh
Yeah, hell yeah, dude. Dude, sour cream is one of the most underrated dips of all time. If I'm being real, real honest, Ty, don't know if this is groundbreaking news or think Fresh Exclusive, but I'm going sour cream first before anything else. Salsa and guac could stay home, honestly.
00:19:45
Ty Fresh
dude it It does feel groundbreaking, but I i am riding a long shotgun with you on this sour cream because it is always my but like the virgin dunk when the nachos come out, the whole platters there.
00:19:52
Think Fresh
Hell yeah.
00:19:57
Ty Fresh
I want the sour cream right in front of me and I'm scooping all of that beautiful white, white essence up.
00:20:04
Think Fresh
Dude, I fully agree. um i would go as far as to say every diner at the nacho table should have their own cream. Like, we all need our own little side dish of cream because I'm i'm eating the whole thing.
00:20:19
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm. It's kind of weird that like everyone has to do their own take on salsa, but what's beautiful about sour cream is there's no, there's no brand affiliation with sour cream. It's a free agent.
00:20:29
Ty Fresh
There's no in-house sour cream. So there's no like craft variant, but there's also no like dominant like company that makes the sour cream like a ketchup or a mustard or a hot sauce. Sour cream just exists.
00:20:39
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:20:41
Ty Fresh
It's like air and like with like still water. You know, do you want do you want tap water? Sure. Sour cream? Sure. It's the same thing.
00:20:50
Think Fresh
Dude, I fully agree. Like, for example, if you're choosing a hot sauce, you go, would you like Tabasco? Would you like Frank's? Would you like Cholula?
00:20:59
Ty Fresh
hmm.
00:21:00
Think Fresh
But if it's cream, you know what you're getting, Ty. It's the most straightforward of the dips.
00:21:05
Ty Fresh
It's so simple.
00:21:06
Think Fresh
Dude, it could all be so simple.
00:21:08
Ty Fresh
I actually cannot even think of a dip that is simpler. Maybe guacamole, but no, that still has the the touch of the chef.
00:21:19
Ty Fresh
the the The chef's urge to freak the guacamole is almost guaranteed.
00:21:24
Think Fresh
Dude, yeah.
00:21:25
Ty Fresh
a little Even a little onion powder in there. That would never happen with sour cream. They're not messing with the sour cream.
00:21:30
Think Fresh
Dude. This is why I never, ever order guac at Subway because yeah I don't trust these chefs artistic integrity there. Like, are they throwing in cilantro? Are they throwing in jalapenos?
00:21:42
Think Fresh
These are two divisive ingredients. And i don't know if i trust a minimum wage employee with one one working glove to to apply this green mush to my sandwich.
00:21:45
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:21:58
Think Fresh
I don't know. It's just too too much of risk for me.
00:22:00
Ty Fresh
Dude, I'm so afraid of the variability of the guac. In particular, I'm always worried that if I order it, all they're going to do take a little spoon, scrape the nice thin brown layer off the top, put that on my sandwich and call it day. Mm-hmm.
00:22:16
Think Fresh
Oh, dude, yeah. It's kind of like when they sort veggies at Whole Foods. Like the oldest shit's at the front. You know mean? So if you really want the freshest gala apple, you gotta stick your hand all the way in the back, you know?
00:22:30
Ty Fresh
It's really ironic because in most situations, you want the most beautiful version of something to be the face of it. But in the produce section, it's always the ugliest representing the entire bunch.
00:22:40
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Yeah, totally. This is our front line. Yeah.
00:22:45
Ty Fresh
Yeah, pretty embarrassing stuff.
00:22:49
Think Fresh
I'd like to announce to the breadhead, Ty, that I finished my beer.
00:22:52
Ty Fresh
Oh, good.
00:22:52
Think Fresh
I drink just a half liter in this pod already.
00:22:52
Ty Fresh
I am proud of you.
00:22:57
Think Fresh
I'm feeling it.
00:22:57
Ty Fresh
Yeah. The crazy thing is you're probably not the drunkest person in that park.
00:23:03
Think Fresh
No, there's somebody dying in the corner, actually.
00:23:07
Think Fresh
yeah
00:23:07
Ty Fresh
Eric, I want to, I want I got to show you something I saw online today.
00:23:08
Think Fresh
um What?
00:23:12
Think Fresh
Oh, please, let me zoom in.
00:23:13
Ty Fresh
Yeah, so this is um taken from the Subway subreddit. One of the

Subway Employee's Anime Hack

00:23:20
Ty Fresh
sandwich artists took a picture of the point of sale system and then explained that they got in trouble because they, I guess, lightly hacked it so that they could watch anime at work.
00:23:33
Think Fresh
Oh, shit, dude.
00:23:35
Ty Fresh
So the photo that I'm showing Eric is they've taken over the POS.
00:23:36
Think Fresh
What the fuck?
00:23:40
Ty Fresh
This is in taken in a subway. There's like some anime girlies on the screen.
00:23:46
Think Fresh
Dude, I love a good waifu moment at Subway. Honestly, this this seems like This seems like the right move. What's going on over there? like Did you did you ah get any other context for this?
00:23:59
Think Fresh
Were people applauding this man's technical innovation? What what was happening?
00:24:04
Ty Fresh
we got a bunch of other sandwich artists in the chat sounding off, just trying to figure out how he did it so they can replicate the, ah the idea. error it just, this is crazy. there This is no joke that like every sandwich artist is just so into anime.
00:24:21
Think Fresh
Dude, it's a weird coincidence, but it happens. Tyler, a guy on FaceTime walking beside me here.
00:24:28
Ty Fresh
Oh no. Okay. Hopefully he doesn't join the episode. ah You're also on FaceTime.
00:24:32
Think Fresh
I mean, honestly, I'm inclined to invite him.
00:24:35
Ty Fresh
yeah Eric I mean just going to zoom in this picture a little bit more because I want to show you one other detail of it. ah The sandwich artists point of sale system has a keyboard and the keyboard has been Saran wrapped.
00:24:48
Ty Fresh
Do you see that.
00:24:48
Think Fresh
Oh, dude. Honestly, absolutely brilliant design by the Subway franchise. I think that's sort actually really smart. I think all offices should do that, too.
00:24:56
Ty Fresh
Yeah. I agree. ah Just ah a pack of saran wrap next to every single keyboard.
00:25:04
Think Fresh
Dude, brilliant.
00:25:04
Ty Fresh
Double wrap it if you need to to keep yourself protected. But I don't want to get any like, what an ST, Eric, you're really good at acronyms. There's an acronym known as an STI, which is something that's transmitted to you, but you can protect it with a little bit of plastic.
00:25:19
Ty Fresh
ah What does STI stand for in this context?
00:25:22
Think Fresh
Well, this context, side it stands for sandwich transferred infection. okay It's going directly from the sandwich to the keyboard, which then goes to the user, unfortunately.
00:25:33
Think Fresh
This is bad news for all artists out there.
00:25:36
Ty Fresh
Dude, you think the the sandwich, the Subway franchise owner, oh my God, I just, I can't get over how good you are at acronyms. You're like the Harry Mack of acronyms.
00:25:50
Ty Fresh
oh
00:25:50
Think Fresh
Luckily I was thinking about it before you even asked. That's just how my brain is wired.
00:25:55
Ty Fresh
Wow. So the sandwich artist is all wearing already wearing rubber gloves. This is the thing. They've already gloved up. So this is a second layer of protection on from this so that they don't muck up the keyboard with their mayo-covered fingertips.
00:26:09
Think Fresh
It's funny because they teach you in sex ed to never double tarp it. You know what I mean?
00:26:15
Ty Fresh
Okay.
00:26:16
Think Fresh
Double tarping is a myth that has been long debunked. It does not double your chances of ah impregnating someone. It only increases them. So um i don't know if I said that right.
00:26:30
Ty Fresh
You didn't, but that's I think the breadheads understood.
00:26:30
Think Fresh
But...
00:26:33
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude. So there's a fallacy here.
00:26:33
Think Fresh
It doubles your chances of being a real ah real dude.
00:26:39
Ty Fresh
You're just doubling the chances of wasting your rubber.
00:26:39
Think Fresh
and't know
00:26:42
Think Fresh
don't know. Dude, you're race you're wasting all kinds of valuable materials that could be used to build Teslas.
00:26:50
Ty Fresh
yeah We need to get that get that rubber off the keyboard and get it on some tires.
00:26:55
Think Fresh
Ty, I am not suitable to drive. Can you pick me up? I'm scared.
00:27:00
Ty Fresh
for you.
00:27:01
Think Fresh
yeah
00:27:01
Ty Fresh
I'll put some rubber on the road so you don't have to.
00:27:03
Think Fresh
Thank you. Thank you.

Concerns Over Reporting on Kanye

00:27:05
Think Fresh
um Where do we net out with the Jared song?
00:27:12
Ty Fresh
ah i think I think we have a strong hypothesis we know which spirits it's about. And I think we're both very excited to be proven correct.
00:27:22
Think Fresh
Dude, fuck, man. I really don't want Kanye to go down the kiddie porn route. I really don't want that.
00:27:28
Ty Fresh
No.
00:27:28
Think Fresh
I don't I don't know that I can see it coming.
00:27:31
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I can too. And when it does, it'll just be another in the list
00:27:34
Think Fresh
Thank you.
00:27:40
Ty Fresh
ah the last of I don't know, man. I don't know what we're going to do about this guy, but a certain point, maybe we do have to stop reporting on him.
00:27:49
Think Fresh
I mean, that's what he's kind of wanting, I guess. He wants us to talk about him. um we're But we're not going to put the proverbial sandwich wrap on this keyboard.
00:28:01
Think Fresh
you know I'm saying? We're going report it as is. So that's where we're at.
00:28:04
Ty Fresh
Yep, this story isn't done yet.
00:28:07
Think Fresh
Ty, I want to talk to you a bit about wrapping up. um and' I'm not talking about this episode. I'm talking about wrapping up your keyboard. I absolutely hate when I show up to the WeWork and there's crumbs on the shared desk.
00:28:24
Think Fresh
Why is that?
00:28:24
Ty Fresh
true bro when have you ever been to a we work you wouldn't be caught dead in there
00:28:30
Think Fresh
When I say WeWork, dude, WeWork, I'd be surprised to hear if they're even around still. But when I say WeWork, I mean any office job where you don't have a personal desk or office and you have a
00:28:39
Ty Fresh
gotcha any hot desk type situation
00:28:45
Think Fresh
Hot desk, hot sandwich, you you figure it out.
00:28:48
Ty Fresh
Yeah, either way, there's crumbs and only one of these situations is it appropriate. Because I know exactly what you're talking about, Eric, there are some crummy, crummy people out there who do not respect shared spaces and they're leaving they're eating their footlongs and they're leaving a little bit behind for the mice and for you.
00:28:54
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:29:08
Think Fresh
dude if I owned company and I'm not talking about this one because this one is a fully remote podcast um so remote that I'm standing in the middle of a park but ah if I owned a company I would absolutely ban meeting over lunch eating at your desk and any food of any sorts actually just no food allowed anywhere near the computers how do you feel about that
00:29:35
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I completely agree. i would also ban talking.
00:29:38
Think Fresh
I think Subway's on the same page.
00:29:42
Think Fresh
You would ban what, sorry?
00:29:43
Ty Fresh
ah i would ban talking as well. I think that's the the words. Small talk is just the crumbs of conversation.
00:29:52
Think Fresh
That's right. If you're talking, you're not working. Get your hands in the gloves and they should be knuckle deep in my sandwich.
00:30:00
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude. Hands in the gloves. du Gloves on, elbows up. Get in there.
00:30:03
Think Fresh
yeah If your elbows aren't flared, I'm going to call you out for having bad sandwich form.
00:30:09
Ty Fresh
oh yeah you go I would imagine that the sandwich artist posture and the white collar worker have similar, they're they're similar posture angles. You know, the the neck is just keeled over a little bit.
00:30:20
Ty Fresh
Although I bet you like natural selection is going to make better sandwich artists over time because to look down at a foot long is not too different than looking down at a cell phone.
00:30:32
Think Fresh
Wait, hold on. Are you telling me that sandwich artists are developing tech neck?
00:30:38
Ty Fresh
They're getting some sort of neck.
00:30:38
Think Fresh
but
00:30:39
Ty Fresh
I don't know what we call that one, though.
00:30:42
Think Fresh
Dude, they're not getting no neck, that's for sure. they're getting They're getting a pain in their lower back. but not a Not any kind of good kind of neck, you know what I'm saying?
00:30:51
Ty Fresh
Oh, yeah. it's It's a hump of some sort. Not a good kind.
00:30:54
Think Fresh
Yeah, they're looking like Mr. Hunchback.
00:30:58
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:30:59
Think Fresh
and That's the character, right?
00:31:01
Ty Fresh
The hunchback of Nutri-Damn.
00:31:07
Think Fresh
Oh yes, of course. Of course. What's his story?
00:31:11
Ty Fresh
who
00:31:13
Think Fresh
What's up with that guy, man?
00:31:14
Ty Fresh
I never really I don't even know what is that the name of the movie I have no clue I just know the motif I know he looks like he collects cans and and I he's probably got like a lovable side that people discover when they get to know him and that's the end of the story I can only guess and that's typically not how the sandwich artist story goes so maybe they're not as close as we think
00:31:24
Think Fresh
He's actually got the fentanyl lean.
00:31:34
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:31:38
Think Fresh
ye
00:31:41
Think Fresh
Unfortunately, Ty, the 2025 version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame is all of the Fenn attics on downtown Eastside. It's the Hunchback of Hastings, and unfortunately.
00:31:52
Ty Fresh
Yeah, absolutely. And they are, there's an army of them. It's, it's a tragedy, but you know what?
00:32:00
Think Fresh
I'm curious, Ty.
00:32:01
Ty Fresh
That's just an amp that is ample potential sandwich artists. Like everyone with a hunch like that has the potential to get behind the line.
00:32:12
Think Fresh
You're so right, dude.
00:32:12
Ty Fresh
It makes you more. a
00:32:13
Think Fresh
If anything, they're like kind of built for it. Like they're like perfectly 90 degrees bent at the hips doing a perfect good morning pose.
00:32:16
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:32:20
Think Fresh
You know mean? They're ready to, um, yeah, get real close to that sandwich.
00:32:24
Ty Fresh
yeah If I was a franchise owner driving down Hastings Street, I would just think that this is a very hireable workforce.
00:32:32
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude, look at all these prospects.
00:32:34
Ty Fresh
Exactly. Got a lot of leads here.
00:32:36
Think Fresh
Wow. Yeah, no kidding. Do you think the sandwich artists in our area, it's like hot sandwich artists in your area?
00:32:47
Think Fresh
Hot single sandwich artists. Do you think they're trained specifically to deal with um murderers and drug addicts? Because like a lot of them kind of hang around outside the subway. I'm sure a lot of them go in and cause a problem. So I don't know do you think that's in the onboarding document?
00:33:06
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I'd imagine that it is. Well, maybe not actually, Eric. No, I don't think it is. And I'm going to tell you why. Even when I make the sandwich artists a little bit uncomfortable, I can see them a bead of sweat go down their forehead.
00:33:18
Ty Fresh
I can see them trembling at just the idea of meeting all my requests.
00:33:24
Think Fresh
Yeah, they get a little clammy. We start huffing and puffing. um
00:33:29
Ty Fresh
And now I'm a big softy.
00:33:29
Think Fresh
They start saying things like, yes, sir. yeah
00:33:33
Ty Fresh
So if they're going struggle with a little guy like me, then I don't know how they're going to deal with an erratic ah erratic person who's not even there to do anything but cause trouble.
00:33:45
Think Fresh
Mm hmm. Yeah, dude. I mean, they're definitely not trained. I don't think it's in the subway budget, unfortunately. They're busy developing new ways to cure meat or something.
00:33:50
Ty Fresh
No.
00:33:54
Think Fresh
I'm not sure.
00:33:56
Ty Fresh
yeah They've invented a brand new type of tuna fish in a lab.
00:33:59
Think Fresh
Yeah. You invented a new kind of fish. That's crazy. Like, this fish got arms. Yeah.
00:34:05
Ty Fresh
Yeah. The fish has extra appendages. So now we can offer wings on the menu.
00:34:15
Think Fresh
That's fire.
00:34:16
Think Fresh
um I saw a video yesterday, Ty. Maybe it was this morning of a fish swimming while headless. Somebody had cut the head off of a fish, I guess, after they caught it.
00:34:16
Ty Fresh
It's a flying fish.
00:34:25
Ty Fresh
Hmm.
00:34:27
Think Fresh
And then it was just start swimming. They dropped it in the water and it kept going.
00:34:32
Ty Fresh
Damn. It was fine? Or was it clearly going to die and it was just like the reflexology of the body?
00:34:42
Think Fresh
I think it was, know, you could say it's nervous system was feeling nervous. I'll just say that.
00:34:48
Ty Fresh
But it was chilling.
00:34:50
Think Fresh
yeah It was kind of chilling at the same time. I don't know. It was wasn't moving very fast, but it was flapping its tail. So it's hard to say.
00:34:57
Ty Fresh
Dude, it got severed.
00:34:57
Think Fresh
Whoa,
00:34:59
Ty Fresh
That's all that that happened. it's It's got us innie the water and outie the water.
00:35:01
Think Fresh
yeah.
00:35:05
Think Fresh
Oh, shit. It's like our online personas, if you think about it, Ty. When we sever this microphone, we become different people.
00:35:15
Ty Fresh
Dude, I haven't talked about Kanye off mic in years. like
00:35:19
Think Fresh
Yeah. I have nobody to talk about it too. So that's why know, on the mic.
00:35:26
Ty Fresh
who
00:35:26
Think Fresh
ah Sorry about the noise. There's an Amazon truck directly behind me now. um He has also has AirPods in, but nobody seems to question him, you know?
00:35:36
Ty Fresh
ah is he also crushing a tall boy yeah it probably is it'd be a tough job if you weren't day drinking all day i don't think i could do it
00:35:40
Think Fresh
Not that I'm aware of. It could be in the cup holder. I'll have to take a look. Yeah.
00:35:48
Think Fresh
Definitely not. um Ty, I'm getting cold standing here. Should we wrap this up?
00:35:54
Ty Fresh
Yes, let's wrap this up. Let's double wrap this keyboard and all. Breadheads, thank you for listening.
00:35:58
Think Fresh
Hell yeah.
00:35:59
Ty Fresh
we appreciate you and have a ah really well-wrapped weekend.
00:36:05
Think Fresh
Likewise. chowo
00:36:07
Ty Fresh
Ciao.
