Think Fresh
um bla blah That sweet, sweet sound. How we looking here? or We're recording. We are recording. What an anomaly. know. Very strange. We haven't recorded in like a month or so. And that's sad. But you know what's even sadder? What? We didn't get a single DM from a single breadhead doing a wellness check on us. We just went radio silent and not a single one messaged us. Are you sure?
00:01:19
Think Fresh
Did you see a couple? Maybe you were clearing the noties as they came in. i definitely got some spam noties. That's for sure. i just I just I'm just a little upset. And I rightly so. Because it's but like we didn't even say and any reason why we just we just dis kind disappeared. We just disappeared. We faded away, you know, because there's like, i don't know, a few days where few weeks where we would do like one a week.
00:01:42
Think Fresh
Yeah. Now it's just one beer a day, you know? I pours his Sapporo. Cheers, buddy. Cheers. I actually haven't dropped my beer intake whatsoever. Only my recording intake.
00:01:55
Think Fresh
As you should. But no, we both had busy, busy, busy months. You purchased a home, which is crazy. More
Owning Land Perks and Ponderings
00:02:06
Think Fresh
that in a minute. Shout out to BetterHelp. Shout out to BetterHelp for funding this backyard that we're recording in. It's unreal that we're sitting outside on land that I own.
00:02:17
Think Fresh
Yeah, you own this land. Staring onto a bunch of trees. I got trees, dude. You got trees, dude. we're talking on I'm the legal owner of those trees. Wow. This is like the first podcast we've ever started with a land acknowledgement. This is it your land. Oh, fuck. Yeah, dude. this I need you to read a statement out now. Yeah. We're on the unceded territory of Eric's backyard. Hell yeah. We got turf, shrub and tree. Turf, shrubbage. We got a little garden plot.
00:02:46
Think Fresh
a nice Weber barbecue. Yeah, dude, you've been probably grilling a scene over there. Oh, I've been grilling so much, dude. I think as soon as you have outdoor space, you immediately get a grill and you throw whatever you can on it. Like we stopped cooking inside. Yeah, I would too, dude. And like
Humor in Observations
00:03:03
Think Fresh
until you own a home, you don't really realize how much your body craves the outdoors. Oh, yeah. But you think, oh, no, if I like people that live in apartment, all they want to do is watch TV and look at their phone. They want to get away from Ride the elevator. Yeah. yeah Take the alley. Yeah. I mean, it's great. Like, I don't have to see anybody ever again if I don't want to. I can just stay home.
00:03:26
Think Fresh
Not that I would do that. But like, we all hate the elevator small talk, you know? Yeah, I do. Especially when there's a dog involved. oh It's always like, sorry about my dog. That's what they usually say. Because the dog is like sniffing your balls. I hate when the dog is the first being to go into the elevator. It's like, like show some restraint, you know? Yeah, dude. The first responders, like a golden doodle. Yeah, dude.
00:03:52
Think Fresh
Like I'm waiting to get out of the elevator. And then the first thing I see is like some fucking English bulldog just fucking grunting, waiting to get in cutting me off. um I notoriously ah despise dogs, so I don't like to talk about them on mic. But I got to tell you, the other day i was sitting on a patio. Yeah, I was eating a burrito.
00:04:15
Think Fresh
And I'm looking out to the street
Neighborhood Cats and Security
00:04:17
Think Fresh
and I see a three legged dog yeah walking down the street. was I there? Oh, that nice. I see a three legged dog and it's being walked by a one legged man. Isn't that crazy? Wow.
00:04:35
Think Fresh
So the three-legged dog is actually better off than the guy, percentage-wise. They collectively have the same amount of legs as one dog.
00:04:47
Think Fresh
That's so stupid. It's crazy. That is crazy. Unbelievable. Wow. So, okay, both of them just hobbling around. Yeah, they're both limping. Limping around.
00:04:59
Think Fresh
We got a plane overhead. jeez. This is a flight path. There's seaplanes,
Subway Pranks and Renovations
00:05:06
Think Fresh
jumbo jets, and helicopters I've spotted here.
00:05:09
Think Fresh
Any superheroes? ah No. Lots of birds, though. That's cool. but But that's crazy, dude. Like, having a dog with three legs is, like, already a struggle. Like, you got to, like, care for it extra, you know? Yeah, you've got to walk it a little gently. But they they're walking each other gently. Yeah. Do you think the dog realizes the situation is like, yo, we're in the same boat? Probably. You don't look so good, buddy. Yeah. The thing is, like if you're like walking like a big dog or a husky dog, like a pit bull, and that dog wants to run ah and pull that lead, you're going down with it because you're just like you're like a radio tower. You're like thin and tall, one leg. Yeah.
00:05:51
Think Fresh
Just a pogo stick. and Like a three-legged dog's got no tug. Tug's got no tug. Yeah, that's true. So if it pulls, you know, you're good. You don't have to worry about it all over.
00:06:03
Think Fresh
Yeah, it's just a light thing it's just a light so light jerk. It's not really a full tug. Yeah, wow. So was this was this animal and this other animal, were they like moving at a decent clip? Were they moving quickly? Or were they just kind of like, you know, kicking the trees and checking out the grass?
00:06:23
Think Fresh
Yeah, let's just say they're not winning any marathons. Okay. ah But they're making their way, you know? One ah skip at a time. Skipping along.
00:06:35
Think Fresh
um ti it I kind of... I understand why you don't like dogs, but you're able to kind of appreciate them. You can say now that. Now that you've seen this with your own eyes.
00:06:48
Think Fresh
I'm a known cat hater. And ever since owning Ty... i I appreciate cats way more. Interesting. cause um just Just for the redheads know, I got hella security cameras on premises. I'm looking at them right now. yeah don't Don't even try to come on the property. But I i see cats all the time on them.
00:07:10
Think Fresh
Just like walking through my yard and like sniffing around and making sure there's no rats, you know which I like. they're do Yeah, they do they're doing the the late night shift. yeah Exactly, the graveyard shift. yeah um I saw one the other day.
00:07:23
Think Fresh
And we put out a bowl of milk for it. You did not. Yeah. Like for Santa. Yeah. Some cookies and milk. And then we left it. And then just like walked over and started having some milk.
00:07:35
Think Fresh
That's so cute. Yeah, dude. You got to be careful though. Santa might bring you a present in the form of a dead bird on the phone. Oh, shit. I would be fine with that. I hate birds. Fair. That's so fun to have the neighborhood felines roaming about. looks a lot like Garfield. We're calling you John from here. Yeah.
00:07:56
Think Fresh
There's John. And then there's ah a black and white cat as well. He's got a black kind of top coat cool and then a white belly. Very cute. A three piece, a two piece. Yeah. A two tone Maybach color. Hell yeah.
00:08:09
Think Fresh
Yeah. So we got Eric's in the new crib. This is crazy. We're hanging on the backyard. There's also a front yard. There's a ground floor, a basement, an upper floor. Dude, you got you've made it.
00:08:21
Think Fresh
Thanks, dude. you've You've achieved home ownership. That's right. All because of BetterHelp. It's unbelievable. No thanks to Crooked Blendjet who sewered us two years ago. Who recalled their flagship product. And recalled their sponsorship with us.
00:08:37
Think Fresh
Oh, I think the company might have gone under. So actually don't blame them. Yeah, fair. um But yeah, I own rakes now. Isn't that wild? You got a hose? No hose yet. i got historically no hose. ah ah Any hose around here? ah Got the old ah farm and ranch equipment right there. Yeah, you got you got some turf. Wait, how many doors you own?
00:09:02
Think Fresh
This is an interesting question. Every homeowner should know their door count. Are we counting patio and garage? A door is a door. Okay. um One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 plus. Wow. Wow.
00:09:23
Think Fresh
plus wow that's That's incredible. I'm in awe. Yeah. I'm in the presence of greatness. Yeah, dude. t So you're opening doors for yourself. Yeah, truly. One door closes, another one opens, Ty. We all know that.
00:09:42
Think Fresh
ah You got shingles now. you got You got a hot water pump. That's crazy. You got to with a hot water pump, bro. Yeah. 15. Oh, you forgot about the basement door. Yeah, good call.
00:09:55
Think Fresh
Yeah, there's a lot of doors around here, which I think all old homes like love like segregation in in more kinds of ways than one. Max, yeah. They were not just room maxing.
00:10:07
Think Fresh
They loved like creating barriers for for people and, you know, others. Yeah, dude. They would have loved Trump's border wall. Yeah. Like there's a door to go to the kitchen to the living room.
00:10:19
Think Fresh
yeah Like that's so, that's so anti open concept, you know,
Homeownership Musings
00:10:23
Think Fresh
it's closed concept. It's kind of weird that open concept needed to like be invented again or like re it's like the Renaissance. It was rediscovered because like back when humans lived in caves, believe it or not, they were all open. You live in a tent or a teepee open concept. You're camping out in the forest. It's pretty open concept. Yeah, dude. The mother nature is inherently even a yurt is open concept.
00:10:48
Think Fresh
Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy how we went from like just being out in the open to just like closing and it off and like, but I guess, you know, it feels cozy to be in a confined space, you know, like when you're in like a one bedroom or a studio apartment, you just feel cozy. Yeah, dude. You know, it kind of comes down to heating. I think at the end of the day, like you can't heat all of Mother Nature.
00:11:11
Think Fresh
Well, actually, humans did invent the ability to do that pretty recently. Yeah, they're doing a great job at it. Shut up global warming. um but So the smaller confined space you have, the easier it is to manage the temperature.
00:11:24
Think Fresh
And it's kind of like it really is energy control, right? You get better at controlling energy, you can have a bigger space. It's kind of like sandwiches too, or the inverse. like The more caloric density of a sandwich, the smaller the sandwich can be. like They made the footlong before the six inch for a reason. Because they said we can pack more fat in these meatballs and then someone doesn't need all of them.
00:11:49
Think Fresh
That's true. They can only have six inches, you know? Yeah, there's something there, Ty. There's definitely something there. i think um having the control at Subway is probably the only thing that's kept it alive all these years. Like if I couldn't order exactly the food I wanted to eat,
00:12:06
Think Fresh
i don't know if I'd ever go back because nothing is that good there. But it's the combination of the all the things I want that makes it kind of okay. Yeah, it's it's the personalization, really. Yeah, got another plane here. This is our first episode out of my yard.
00:12:23
Think Fresh
So we'll see how it goes. We'll listen to the playback after and see if this is a hit. Yeah. i yeah I do love the personalization. um i was thinking about um a story a friend of mine told me last month, a childhood friend. And this is like a throwback, a subway throwback. okay um When I was in high school, my friend said to me, could you pick me up a sandwich from Subway? I was already going there. You're like dude, what?
00:12:53
Think Fresh
yeah This is like... you know, so much more effort than you can even imagine. Well, he gave me no brief. That was the problem. Exactly. if You're going grab me a foot long or a six inch. Can't remember. He threw me tent a tenner, a Johnny a We call it Canada.
00:13:08
Think Fresh
Dude, sharing your like subway order with someone, it's like so sharing your porn searches. Like you just can't do it. Delete that shit. It's like it's a little bit too personal. Those are my, uh, I'm of my preferences.
00:13:24
Think Fresh
but yes Oh, so, okay. So he doesn't give me a brief, obviously, because shame, right? Yeah. But I offered to get him the sandwich, but I'm just like, I'm 16. I don't know anything. Taylor Swift. I don't know how to fucking make a sandwich. yeah I order my sandwich the way I like it. And then I think I should make this kid the grossest sandwich I can think of.
00:13:48
Think Fresh
That's one way to do it. Yeah, the best way to do it. So I put together a this. This is so long ago, but it was a seafood medley with extra mustard. Oh, wow. Just like and that was it. It was just like mustard and seafood.
00:14:04
Think Fresh
So like a ceviche. When you put it that way, it sounds amazing. It's like an American style ceviche. Yeah, yeah, dude. Nice. ah Yeah, you this is the ceviche you get at Red Lobster. The mustard actually cooks the seafood. It's actually unreal. It's like a chemistry compound. Yeah, that's how you can ah eat it raw. Yeah, it it kills all the bacteria. That Heinz, dude, just fucking obliterates any kind of bacteria that's in that seafood. No no worries. No parasites. Just a little acid to cook it. That's all you need. Exactly.
00:14:34
Think Fresh
Well, I bring the sandwich back. He's disgusted by it. He's angry. He just lost $10. We're making minimum wage. That's better than no job. but Just barely. Just barely. like not It's not better help money.
00:14:50
Think Fresh
um and So wait, he lost $10 because he paid you in advance? paid me in advance for the sandwich. Yeah, idiot. But then we both... I kind of pressured and he kind of felt like I got eat something. I'm hungry. I've been studying all day. yeah So we tried to eat it. And he starts like gagging and like dry eating. He couldn't finish the sandwich. It was so gross.
00:15:13
Think Fresh
We've all been there, to be honest. I know. But what's really crazy is... We've said
Product Innovations and Trends
00:15:19
Think Fresh
so many times on the pod, you can't make a bad sandwich. Like the ingredient combinations are designed that a sandwich physically cannot taste bad.
00:15:28
Think Fresh
Yeah. But then this story, I was reminded of this and it's like it it is possible. You just have to find the right crevices of disgust within the cracks of those buckets. Well, the more they deviate from standard sandwich protocol, the more opportunities there are to like ruin a sandwich. Right. You know, like seafood.
00:15:49
Think Fresh
Like, you should only be able to have tuna melt or, like, a seafood roll of some kind. And, like, why would you offer that in an environment where you can totally ruin it with mustard, you know?
00:16:03
Think Fresh
Yeah, don't let those talk to each other. Yeah. Talking, it's like segregation. You know, you need a room between the mustard and the lobster. Exactly. You need a glass door. um But, yeah, like,
00:16:17
Think Fresh
The meats, right? The meats all they all work together. you know They all hold hands running towards the same common goal. you know Any sauce works with any meat. It's truly beautiful. All the land-based meats, Eric, are the exact same flavor profile. It's just like salty. Salty and umami. Umami, yeah. That's what I say every time. See a sandwich. Oh, dude. Uh-oh.
00:16:42
Think Fresh
Well, speaking of renovations, you know, because I've just moved into my house. um i want to talk to you about how they fucking ruined my local subway. No way. Yeah. You just you're a nomadic right now. What's your local subway? Well, I'm not nomadic. I live here, Ty. But my local subway. Show me the deed.
00:17:01
Think Fresh
I guess I would say my last... known location. That's no whereabouts. I know which stuff you're talking about. The one that we used to record at your old place. It was down the street from there. We talked a lot about it. I think we even recorded an episode in there maybe.
00:17:17
Think Fresh
No, that's another one. ah um But yeah, the one they renovated. Remember how they had like... Dropping cans here. Those cans just spilled all over my MacBook.
00:17:31
Think Fresh
Just a drop... um Yeah, like they just ruined it because they used to have like the cool soup sign. yeah ah Some really vintage like faded um photos on the wall. Sun-drenched pics of bread.
00:17:47
Think Fresh
the um The booths were kind of like peeling, stuff like that, you know? And then they added like the neon and they added the like clinical like white wash tiles and and wall paint and they just kind of ruined and just stripped away the soul. And it's kind of sad to see. That sucks, dude. The um kind of warning hospitalification of Subway is ruining the brand. Yeah, i agree. I want that patina. I want that mustard stain on the booth. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's fine. We'll never go back there. So it's okay. um
00:18:24
Think Fresh
We have to find a new subway close to my place. Is there what? Have you Googled it yet? I haven't. Should we just pull it up? I wonder if ah there's one within walking distance. There might be. There there usually is.
00:18:34
Think Fresh
Yeah, you're it's there like spiders. They're always like yeah really close by. but I just want to tell the breadheads, I'm in a pretty affluent area. So it's possible that we won't be able to find one in the walking distance. Yeah, you'll have to cross past like three natty wine bars to find this.
00:18:51
Think Fresh
The real question is whether your backyard's Wi-Fi holds up good enough to check.
00:18:58
Think Fresh
Yeah, haven't got the yard Wi-Fi yet. It'll come. That's like some real suburban shit. It's like got the router in the backyard. Dude, do you see those backyards in like warmer, drier climates? like Yeah. Scottsdale where they got like a flat screen TV in the backyard. Oh God, That's what you need to I know we don't got, it's wet as, wet as sauce here but.
00:19:18
Think Fresh
Yeah. Wow, look at all those pins you have, dude. Sorry about my pins. There's your crib. I got a little marker on You got little flag there. Yeah, sick. Let's search this area and see what comes up.
00:19:34
Think Fresh
And once two subways within like 12 blocks, one's temporarily closed, probably due to stabbing. And oh, that's a famous one right there on a on that main road there. That's famous.
00:19:50
Think Fresh
It's famous because I snapchatted you the logo once. Oh, yes, dude. I know this one. Wow. Full circle. So it's in a plaza. And obviously, the plaza has some kind of branding associated with it.
00:20:02
Think Fresh
There's like a big sign in the middle that says the name of the plaza. And then Subway's logo is like above it in like a way bigger typeface. It makes it look like it's Subway Plaza. Exactly. so it's like sub it's like brought to you by Subway. Damn, Subway is sponsoring this entire
Future Home Renovations and Teasers
00:20:18
Think Fresh
strip mall. So I think we should check it out.
00:20:20
Think Fresh
but It is within walking distance. I can confirm. Excellent. The other one just down the street, I've actually always wanted to check out because it looks really dingy. Yeah, that one's in like the, you know how you at every house you can go in one direction, it gets like richer and one direction gets poorer. That's in a poor direction. Yeah, dude. Oh yeah, that's so dingy. It's like, it's beside a dominoes. That's how you know.
00:20:41
Think Fresh
But also, like it's got the old logo, which I like. It's a good sign. And if a subway is ever temporarily closed, like you know there was like a rat fell into the soup or something. Yeah, dude. It's a great, great sign. you know like Someone was accidentally served ah pinky finger.
00:20:58
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. Wow. Okay. We'll have to check that out at some point. This is so fun. um Have you got your bread settlement yet? Dude, I don't think I've signed up for it because I haven't got it. This is like peak Subway lore. Well, sort of. um Canadian grocer Loblaws.
00:21:18
Think Fresh
ah They were involved in a class action lawsuit this year because they like put probably, like I don't know, like cancer in their bread. i don't really know what they did. Classic law-plaws. Lied about it, yeah. Please. So they had a class action lawsuit. And all you had to do was say, participate, just file out a form that said, yeah, I bought some bread or bagels or some sun-toasted buns from this grocer.
00:21:50
Think Fresh
Then they'll send you a check in the mail. I did it, dude. You know what? Loblaw sent me 50 bucks. It's crazy. That's like four Subway sandwiches. Wow. That's actually amazing. Yeah, dude. I got that bread. Yeah.
00:22:03
Think Fresh
I think there's websites out there that like just tell you every class action lawsuit that's happening. Well, this is what I'm thinking. I'm like, there's totally a like a lick here. Yeah. Like an ongoing lick, you know? Yeah, dude.
00:22:15
Think Fresh
Well, I actually just signed up for a new one because I had FOMO. Dude, they might call you to witness. Be careful. going have to go a jury duty on this one. um No, dude, there's one. Well, actually, I don't know if I should even say come I allowed to say this on pod?
00:22:31
Think Fresh
I don't know. do you a class What class and class action lawsuits I'm affiliated with. Did you read the fine print? No. Obviously not. I don't even know, actually. I'll tell you off mic. Yeah, sure. But it's it's supposed to pay out more.
00:22:45
Think Fresh
Because like it has to do with the data breach, as they all do. ah shit. So you have to like record how many hours you wasted fixing the issue. And so I just put the max. And it was like $300 or something. So I don't know if I'll get that. But yeah sure but we'll see. i think there's got to probably some online communities or subreddits that are just dedicated to this full time. Dude, we got to wait for the class action at Subway.
00:23:10
Think Fresh
we'll get a huge payout yeah dude there's no question like just go back to any episode and you'll see like we eat there regularly yeah dude when i have like 20 tumors on my stomach lining some things it just won't cover you know like oh fuck i know where i'm pointing my saucy fingers imagine you got really ill from some loblaws bread and all you got was 50 bucks Yeah, I feel bad for whoever that was. but Yeah, it's because of people like you because you're taking money from the pot, you know? That's true. I'm going to dip my fingers in.
00:23:43
Think Fresh
Yeah. How did you even know to sign up for that? I don't know. that It was making us rounds on socials, so I just tapped in. Fuck, dude. You got to have your ear on the ground. Yeah. And now you own land. so i can literally do that. Yeah, dude. It's in for those vibrations. Yeah. We are on the ground floor. Wow. We're touching concrete.
00:24:00
Think Fresh
But we could touch grass if we wanted. It's really funny, though, because all of this around us is concrete and turf. So I don't even know if I could touch grass. I think I might have to leave your property to touch grass. It's like rocks.
00:24:13
Think Fresh
There's some over by the trees. Oh, OK. Yeah. Come on, that's pretty cool. Yeah. You can go touch my lettuce. I got lettuce growing in the corner. Hell yeah.
00:24:25
Think Fresh
Shred that up. Yeah, dude. Some tomatoes. Dude, you almost got a whole sandwich over there. Lettuce, cukes, tomato. yeah I actually do have lettuce. herbs and You got herbs? Yeah, got some rosemary. Are you growing cheese? I can do cheese, too. I'll wait for the cat to come back. You can milk it.
00:24:43
Think Fresh
you Dude, for like years before I was ah buying a house, I i was like, how do I like get a permit for like a goat or something? I really just want like a goat on the property. I think you're allowed chickens in ah urban and plots. I think sometimes. Sometimes. Yeah, I don't know if you can do it everywhere. maybe you Do you have l like an HOA on this block you need to get approved?
00:25:05
Think Fresh
ah Not that I'm aware of. Thank God. You can do whatever you want. But yeah, it'd be kind of cool to have like, if not you, at least your neighbors with chickens. Because then you just probably show up with like a carton of eggs, you know? Yeah, they make way more eggs that you can eat. I'm not eating six eggs a day. So here's here's a dozen.
00:25:25
Think Fresh
That's the life. At one point, a family member of mine had like 20 or 30 chickens. Wow. It was so cool. You go in the coop and you just like, there's just eggs everywhere. Wow. And they're all like weird colors. You got some, and a lot of double yolks too. Cause those, when you got like organic, well-kept chickens, they make a lot. They're very fertile. Yeah, dude. Doubles. Those, those fucking, those chicks are fertile. Crack me a double. Yeah. Yeah, dude.
00:25:49
Think Fresh
You treat your chick, right? And she starts ovulating. Basically. yeah They like what they're what they're doing. there they're They're putting numbers up, you know? Yeah. That's awesome, dude. I wish I had some chickens and maybe a goat. um I would love a pig because like i hear they're very like friendly and smart. Smart animals, you know friendly animals. and You can eat them. You can't eat a smart, friendly dog. Mm-hmm.
00:26:16
Think Fresh
yeah unless you're haitian or a korean or something um yeah uh i got some more topics ty yeah hit me me too um more than we have time for protein shisha is a thing what uh dude the protein shisha is not a no it's not a thing but it's a thing you know I mean, yeah, everything's like we're drinking a protein Sapporo right now.
00:26:43
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. 5% alcohol, 10% protein. Hell yeah. um Okay. so ah some corporation called Gymnation has unveiled what it calls the world's first protein shisha bar.
00:26:56
Think Fresh
Tobacco-free, nicotine-free shisha-style experience inspired inspired by sports supplements like whey, protein, creatine, and BCAAs. Hmm.

So this is legit product coming to market. This is the kind of shit that they put on um like a Shark Tank. And for that reason, I'm out. Yeah, exactly. It's like, hey, we took a trend and a novel industry and we combined them together.

Yeah. it's like You know, they might not get nuked for the protein shisha, you know? You might nuke them for the oil, but not the shisha. That's true. There's not going to be a hostile takeover. It's a safer bet. Yeah.
00:27:59

Commandeer their shisha factories. I also want to talk to you about a recent phenomenon, Ty. The chicken thigh has overtaken the chicken breast in terms of popularity in the U.S. Care to comment as a vegetarian?
00:28:13
Think Fresh
I've always been a breast man. know I'm impartial to thighs personally. Interesting. Uh, is this, what what are the factors of influence? Do you think here is it economical or do you think it's, o do you think like, do you think there's like, this is connected to like greater consumption trends, maybe porn trends?
00:28:35
Think Fresh
Yeah. Great question. um I think it's all the rap music that's taken over. It's made everyone switch the thighs. Interesting. bb BBLs did it. That's why. Everything's getting thicker down there. Yeah.
00:28:49
Think Fresh
I mean, Drake has famously rapped about both the breasts and thighs. So I don't know if we can attribute it to one person. No. This a global phenomenon. Yeah. But we all know, like, pardon the pun, but thighs are juicier.
00:29:02
Think Fresh
and fattier it's just the way it is um which part of the chicken is the wing what it's the wing no sorry dude i didn't it didn't come out right god damn it what i mean is like you order a bunch like a basket of chicken wings it's not all wings It's other parts. You mean like drumsticks and flats? guess That's they call them. Sometimes their nuggets are shaped like dinosaurs or rockets. You got the bell in the boot. Yeah, dude. So is there like a bulk consumption method that is skewing the data like nuggets or wings? see what you're saying. Well, every chicken has two breasts and two thighs.
00:29:55
Think Fresh
Right. Well, what about the males today? Yeah. Males have those breast muscles, too. Yeah, I don't know. yeah i don't know I don't know what's going on with that, Ty. Honestly, I think I think we've just kind of grown accustomed to breasts over the years and we realizing like we're missing out on the other half, you know?
00:30:17
Think Fresh
Costco rotisserie chickens are probably partly to blame. who are People are exploring other parts of the chicken. Exactly. yeah The whole thing. Now let's let's just nibble around and see what we like. I famously made the rotisserie chicken at my like first deli job.
00:30:32
Think Fresh
m That's cool. You had to spin it. It spins by itself. no You had to put it on the pole. yeah you just kind of spear it. Get up there.
00:30:44
Think Fresh
I mean, i think if we speculate long enough, we can find the solution here. i think Let's read the article. Maybe that helps. Maybe it's got the deets. Let's see here.
00:30:57

buth Blah, blah, blah. 2010, chicken overtook beef as the most consumed meat in the U.S. oh
00:31:05
Think Fresh
Let's see. i wonder I wonder why that even happened.
00:31:10
Think Fresh
Pricing probably plays a role too. you know like beef got more like Everyone's like, I got to have the Angus now. you know I got to have the the good beef. And that comes with a price tag. i I totally agree.
00:31:23
Think Fresh
Let's see. This article very long. Dude, I've been using so much AI recently. Anytime I see an article that's not generated for me, it's just like, don't how to read this. one the four paragraphs, I'm out. Yeah.
00:31:35
Think Fresh
Like i got to fucking like fire up the old noggin for old time's sake just to read this. It's crazy how the cognitive overhead is overwhelming now. Like, um,
00:31:50
Think Fresh
i'm I'm kind of down to like single single syllable words at this point too. Yeah, i agree. the The number of times I've told chat GBTs just do it again this week. I'm dumb. any simpler I'm stupid. don't Don't make this hard for me.
00:32:06
Think Fresh
um Okay. Someone says chicken thighs are in every conceivable way superior to breast who because unlike those bland lobes, thighs work for the money nonstop.
00:32:18
Think Fresh
buts no there's no way that's what the article the article says. I'm pretty sure this is like is this some AI slop. yeah I'm sorry. i It was written by like a 15 year old boy. I'm sorry I even brought this up.
00:32:30
Think Fresh
Let's go back. um what What journal journalistic website are you even on? don't know. TMZoomer? I can tell you what it is. It's Slate.com.
00:32:44

Or are you? I'm not sure. really know. I've never been. I actually did walk past the Jersey Mike's at LAX oh a couple weeks ago and they were advertising bowls and I clocked that. and i almost wrote it down. Oh, nice what topic. Well, you sounds like you have better topics than me. So why don't we go through your list? Dude, I don't got better topics than you. ah you Do you prefer maxing, gooning or just vibing?
00:33:33
Think Fresh
Just vibing is a nice middle ground. um Footlong Italian is a porn s search. Yeah, dude, it is. um It has all the characteristics of a porn search. It has race and length. That's true. ah It's like you've applied multiple filters to get there. Exactly. Okay, last topic. That's just good keyword. Are you trying to do away with it entirely or just living as an inversion of it, thus continuing to refer to it indirectly?
00:34:00
Think Fresh

00:34:03
Think Fresh
Wait, say that again? Living with it. hot don't know, man. um I met James Franco this weekend. But I think I should save that for the next episode because we're at time. We are at time.
