Introduction and Voice Acting Adventures
00:00:04
thinkfresh
Hello, breadheads. Welcome to another episode of Think Fetch Podcast. Hello. I'm your host, Ty, and my co-host, Eric, is here with me. Eric, would you like to say a few words? Yeah, dude. The the voice acting has come a long way, I gotta to say. Are you still deep in the voice acting masterclass, or what's the, what what are you doing this for? and What is this all for? What is this all for is a question I ask myself every time I see the blinking red button in this podcasting booth.
00:00:34
thinkfresh
The voice acting classes are not happening, but everything that I'm learning about my voice, I'm learning on the street, you see? Okay, tell me more. What does that mean exactly? Different personalities for different people, different different sandwiches for different sandwich artists. You gotta mix it up when you meet someone, you know? Throw a little a little accent on that, or lower it to sound intimidating, or increase the pitch to sound,
00:01:02
thinkfresh
Unintimidating, which is a problem I have a lot, is I'm too intimidating. Wow, yeah. um I can see that if you were ordering at a drive-thru or something, or maybe you on the phone, or even through a DoorDash application. I can see you leaving a nasty little message in the special request field. Yeah, dude. A little gruff, a little raspy. It's the, it sounds like they just got a call from Rikers, you know?
00:01:29
thinkfresh
Would you like to accept this collect call from a known killer? Yeah dude, kill everything I eat. Oh wow. but But in person Ty, I don't think you're really dishing out the intimidation like ah like you might think. You don't think so? But why did they call me the intimidation crab?
00:01:48
thinkfresh
That's my nickname on the streets, Eric. That's a nice little callback to last episode. Previous episode, yep. Which we recorded yesterday, guys. I'll just come out and say it. Ty is once again leaving us for vacation or something. I don't know how you perpetually on vacation.
Travel and Personal Growth
00:02:05
thinkfresh
Yeah, dude, you really living the bromatic lifestyle, bromatic lifestyle. a I just I just came up with that. How do you like that? That's really good. That's really good. I seldom travel with the bros. I wish I did more. Yeah, I think there's like you learn a lot about yourself when you're just like it's just you three other guys. Everyone has their own individual caught.
00:02:27
thinkfresh
It just it changes you. Yeah, it does. Usually there's like some gay shit going on. yeah what else just the boy Broke boy back mountain we call it. 100%. Have you ever stayed in a hotel room with like your partner plus someone else or like plus another couple? Like have you ever done like four to a room? Yeah, yeah I don't love it.
00:02:53
thinkfresh
Yeah, but tell me more, like what what the what's going on and in that scenario? Because I've done it as well, only once. And it was with some siblings, so it wasn't it wasn't too annoying. Yeah, siblings is OK, unless it's your partner's siblings. It was my partner's siblings. Still pass, I guess. So here's what I've learned from sharing hotel rooms with people, is that I'm the quietest sleeper on Earth, and everyone else is super annoyed.
00:03:20
thinkfresh
yeah What are the odds? wow Like I'm a perfect sleeping angel. I don't even breathe. yeah do You just die for eight hours and then come back to life the next day. i have I've never made a peep but everybody else is so annoying. and They're snorting, they're farting, they're snoring, they're they're chitter chattering.
00:03:42
thinkfresh
I don't get it. I mean, I kind of believe you actually because I've had so many countless lunches with you that I know that you're just a silent eater. You know what I mean? You eat so like a little angel. You're just so delicate, you know? You think so? Thank you. You devour this footlong. If I wasn't looking at you, I would have no idea what you're doing. I'm like a little ninja, you know? Silent but fast. I just look up and you're six inches down, six inches to go, you know?
00:04:11
thinkfresh
You just snap your fingers and it's gone. That's right. I'm a magician. That is unless you are eating the footlong cookie. You you get a little sloppy with that one. The footlong cookie is ah I just feel like it wasn't made for human hands, but they don't give you any cutlery. So what's a guy going to do?
00:04:31
thinkfresh
Get sloppy. Get sloppy. It's like trying to eat soup with your hands. It just keeps falling through the fingers. That's right. You get the occasional chunk, but that's it. That's right.
The Ideal Sandwich Debate
00:04:43
thinkfresh
I was going to say, oh, when when camping, I've learned that ah you you might think that you are quiet or you might think that you're loud, but you're probably both you're wrong in both scenarios. Tell me more. what Wait, I've never been wrong. So I i find this hard to believe. Well,
00:05:02
thinkfresh
Like, I had a camping experience where I thought my sleeping mat was the loudest of the groups. And I thought that every time I shuffled, I would wake everybody up because of how noisy it was. And it was really grinding my gears. Right. That guy kind of looks like you. Oh, no. Actually, not really. Not as he walks in closer, but from a distance that I just thought I saw Ty's doll here. You see me and everyone, a little bit of me.
00:05:26
thinkfresh
That's right. I'm in every man. But when I ask around Ty, people are saying, oh no, I couldn't hear a single peep coming from your sleeping mat. So like that gave me some faith. Right, right, right. Yeah, dude, your lived experiences seldom other people's reality. You know, like I've had that too. are You're right. It extends beyond, it extends beyond snoozing too. Yeah, totally.
00:05:51
thinkfresh
Oh man, going back to the idea of soup between your fingers, it reminded me of like an observation I made about sandwiches the other day, which is people love to put big chunks in the sandwich. Think the meatball or the veggie patties, just one slab, right? But the problem with one slab is that, especially the meatball, you're kind of suggesting the number of bites to consume the food. Yeah.
00:06:17
thinkfresh
I kind of think the ideal sandwich is as many possible little bites as you want because kind of like Lego blocks, it's like you can chew it any way and take as much or as little as you need. So I think the ideal sandwich is like kind of like an egg salad entirely from an accessibility perspective because when you bite into an egg salad, there's no definitive start or stop to any one ingredient.
00:06:46
thinkfresh
You know, it's it's just mush. it's you can You can kind of like slice a little bit off at any point. But because it's all kind of broken or like maybe like a crumble of some sort. Right. You know, this is wild. Like, you know, like Kiko de Gallo. Pico de Gallo would make a great sandwich. Like that texture is ideal for a sandwich because it's like just cute. It's just cute things. You don't have to. You don't have to chew take you don't have to take half a meatball off or like yeah make that decision.
00:07:16
thinkfresh
No, you're in a weird kind of fucked up way after potting with you for four years. I understand exactly what you're talking about. Cool. Great. And what what experience that you've tapped into for me is when you have, like, like, for example, a prosciutto sandwich.
00:07:32
thinkfresh
you take a bite of the sandwich and you pull out the entire prosciutto or like a bacon strip and in a burger, right? The bacon strip. You end up eating the entire bacon strip first bite. Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. And that sucks. Like, wouldn't you rather just have ah like a bacon bits all through the sandwich? The bacon bits would be a nice V2 of the burger, the bacon cheeseburger. Who doesn't put the bacon bits in the burger? It's such a brilliant idea. Why are we the first to come up with this right now? Yeah, that's kind of wild.
00:08:02
thinkfresh
Um, although, uh, uh, fucking, what is it called? Not whole foods, Bosa, Bosa foods, Italian grocery store. Yeah. I tried this like. It's called enduya or something. Have you seen this before? It's like it's like a salami. Like picture a nice fat salami roll. But instead of being sliced, it's more of a spreadable. What? What do you mean a spreadable? A spreadable meat? Yeah, it's a spreadable salami basically. like And that kind of like changed the game for me because why would I have a
00:08:34
thinkfresh
thick slice of salami in my sandwich where I can just spread the salami on the bread. That's kind of like meat like egg saladifying it. Kind of, yeah. like I get that there's like a need for other textures, but I feel like the ideal sandwich is just like seven layered dip in between two slices of bread. Just spread on, spread on, spread. Yeah, I get so. Bread spread. So what offers a crunch then? Is it the toast of the bread? is Are you adding in like some small crunchy bits because if it's just straight mush like a PB and&J, yeah like no one's eating that for lunch. Obviously you toast it, but the bread just shouldn't be the only thing. You can add in some yeah bacon bits, crispy onions, finely diced cucumber, finely diced pepper. Okay.
00:09:23
thinkfresh
The trick though is to like, imagine like, you know, when people do the really long, like long cut bell pepper, you have a really long one. It's the same thing. You're plucking that whole thing out of your sandwich. Name your veggies. Like it'll, it's coming out if it's too long. Yeah. And it's happening in a subway with the exception of the shredders. So I need somebody to just dice everything, toss it together and lay that in there like a little tap and add.
00:09:46
thinkfresh
Right. Tappanade sandwiches. So, Ty, is the Mufaleta, has it always been the best sandwich? For this reason? Yeah. Because
Observations and Comparisons
00:09:54
thinkfresh
it's just like tappanade, right? Oh, but there's like pretty big slabs of meat in it. ah Yeah, you're right. There's a tappanade, obviously. Wow, what a great sandwich. Dude, that looks so good. We're looking at photos of Mufaleta's online now in an incognito window. Yeah, we'll get some muff online.
00:10:11
thinkfresh
um look at that cross section time was speechless do beautiful set that is awesome looking fucking
00:10:20
thinkfresh
love rept like me and jack and mom
00:10:27
thinkfresh
are you like parked next to a or yeah i don't know We both paused because a group of of tweens walked by talking about Taylor Swift's version of ah Reputation album. Oh, is that what they were? Yeah, so they're discussing everyone wants rep TV to launch It's never gonna happen ladies. All right, did you always do just standing in the park reading a book to to the right? No way That is the next level pretty thing. I'm not reading this guy's shirtless with a book in his hand standing there, bro You are not a vibe That is incredible.
00:10:58
thinkfresh
but I feel like I'm living in a meme right now. What is going on? We gotta stop recording in public spaces. That's crazy. um I mean, we should keep doing it because I think it just builds us, builds a world around us. It does. We're we're world building right now live on Pod. Totally. Man, if if he was holding a map, this would make way more sense. Yeah. But he's holding a like a novel. Wow.
00:11:22
thinkfresh
Good for him. He's getting his steps in and enjoying the park. Yeah, he's ah walking both the mind and the body. Walking around reading in a park is the perfect place to walk around because you'll never run into anything. Yeah, if you're in an open field, you can just lock in. That'd be a good place to do anything on your phone, too, you know? Totally. Like you could play Geoguessir while just taking a stroll in the field. here Yeah, you're like and so good at finding places, but you're totally lost in a field.
00:11:51
thinkfresh
It doesn't matter because it's kind of like the DVD loading screen. Like if you just hit the edge of the park, you just bounce. Turn around. You just bounce down the direction. We should try that sometime. I would like to just hang out in a park standing and do what I do normally, which is stare at my phone. yeah Dude, staring at your phone is so underrated. I can't believe we've ah gone to this place where we've demonized the phone. yeah Like let's get back to celebrating the fact that I can just leave reality for half an hour. what My friend was saying to me the other day, he's like, you know, every time you're not using your phone, it's just waiting for you. oh like a Like a pet, you know? Wait to make me feel bad. I know. It's like, you're not there for your phone right now. you you ah You are your phone's best friend. That is true. That is true.
00:12:37
thinkfresh
Your phone is like really the, it's really man's best friend at the end of the day because this man's best friend, like it never, like dogs will bite you sometimes. You know what I mean? But a phone will never bite back. The phone always obeys. The phone does exactly what you want it to. That's right.
00:12:54
thinkfresh
Um, speaking of doing exactly what you want to do, what are you doing this weekend? Is it a long, it's a long weekend long we can here. And, uh, we're recording this early for a reason. So what is that reason again? I'm just heading to the coast. Going to just lay low for a bit, bit of a family affair, maybe paddleboard, maybe just, uh, hit the beach. Nice. Not too much. No good podcasting content comes out of laying low.
00:13:20
thinkfresh
That is true. It's going to be 29 degrees on a Saturday tie. Soak up that last ray of summer. Yeah. Fuck. I got to plan something to do. I'm so bad at planning long weekends. Me too. I always leave them open because I think if I do that, ah then I create the most opportunity for something spontaneous and fun to happen. Yeah. And then I end up go rolling into the non-long weekend with no itinerary. It's kind of is like a non-weekend. it isn't You're not doing anything. Exactly. But I'm the exact same.
00:13:46
thinkfresh
um I feel like I get the impression that Bay plans all of your trips. Yeah. Because um like I just know how spontaneous you are and how you leave things to the last minute. um So I'm just I have a feeling that someone is just doing it all for you.
00:14:04
thinkfresh
100% at this point. You can't spell bae without an E in an A. she's my She's my executive assistant. Oh, awesome. But that's okay. Like at a certain point in man's life, they just have to relinquish control over anything that happens to them. And yeah then they can just shut their brain off and life gets so much simpler. Yeah, no, I totally agree.
Travel Preferences and City Critiques
00:14:24
thinkfresh
um I gotta start, you know, assigning some tasks to my bae. Yeah. Get her to plan our weekends because Yeah, I don't know. I'm the same way. I'm good at planning like long trips because I would rather just fly to Europe. Right. Like find you anywhere in a car. Yeah. Well, that's not the cars on the problem. It's more so Canada. Right. Like driving anywhere takes like several hours. You know what I mean? So and it's like for the same price, I can just fly to Mallorca. For sure. I get that. And for me, it's the inverse, though, because I already have enough
00:15:03
thinkfresh
um The limited scope of where I can go in Canada makes it almost easier to comprehend. Like as soon as I could get on an airplane, it's like, oh yeah, your decision fatigue immediately. Did you know airplanes go everywhere? Totally. There's so many airports. Yeah. And that just freaks me out. I get freaked out by that.
00:15:25
thinkfresh
It calms me for some reason. yeah Like being in an airport and like seeing the ticker, you know what I mean? Just like Seoul, Tokyo, Amsterdam, just like, you know, fluttering down yeah the the LCD screen it makes me, I don't know, just appreciate our um beautiful world, you know? That's true. From the cabin at 30,000 feet. It's a great place to appreciate the world.
00:15:53
thinkfresh
Man, every time we record in this park, there's a different guy holding an instrument. Yeah, wrote a rotating cast of troubadours. Wow. Well, yeah, I got to figure something out for this weekend.
00:16:07
thinkfresh
Maybe I'll, I'll stay local, but I'll, I'll be on outside. Like that's good enough. That's good enough. Yeah. Yeah. But I do kind of want to hop in the whip and drive somewhere. Just go make some memories, dude, like spin a bottle and then follow it. Whatever, whatever comp direction that compass takes you. Okay. I like that. That's kind of cool. That's kind of a cool way to do the weekend.
00:16:29
thinkfresh
It's in of itself a cinematic story. Yeah, I'm hoping that God doesn't point north. Like any other direction is fine, you know, to go east. Cross our fingers for south though. Yeah, south is nice. Oregon. Yeah, I think you should go to Oregon coast this weekend. You'll have a good, a good old time. How long does it take to drive to the Oregon coast? For Vancouver, like five hours.
00:16:55
thinkfresh
That's not bad. and You can visit your favorite city, Portland. Oh, dude, the worst city in America. Yes. It's tied for the bottom with Baltimore. You think Baltimore is the worst city in America? I've never been to. I don't know why it's bottom five. What makes Baltimore suck? um Have you seen like the 4K driving videos where they like drive around and in random cities and just like you get a sense of what the city feels like. You have to watch the Baltimore one. I bet it's really liminal. Yeah, it's ah kind of scary. Oh really? Yeah, it's like... People are like like cutting their throat to the Google car as it drives by.
00:17:37
thinkfresh
street view car yeah well okay actually i think oakland is part of the worst city on probably on earth if we're being honest it is uh a bit dicey over there across the bridge i can imagine oakland but like maybe be half as bad i'm just like imagining oakland but without the that nice ocean breeze and it just sounds worse in the sun in the sun yeah yeah Brooklyn's bad. San Francisco is right up there though. Nah, San Francisco has a bad rep because it's, it's unhoused population is so vibrant and visible. Yeah. Yeah. They're just characters down there, you know? That's the thing though. Like big personalities. Yeah. That's the thing. People will sensationalize all the stories about a place and and it makes you think it's normal, but it's really like happening to like 1% of the population. Like yeah if someone's car window gets smashed randomly, like
00:18:30
thinkfresh
Like, Oh fuck, I can't go to the city because it's so dangerous. Yeah, exactly. It's not really true. Yeah. You're one of one. You're the only car window to ever be smashed in Oakland. Yeah, that's not true. That's for sure. Well, I also think like everyone is experiencing the same issues in every city everywhere. Like, yeah, I was like, you go to any city and people are like, it's too expensive to live here anymore. Go to any city and they're like, homeless population is getting really bad here. Like any city they're like, yeah, we got a fentanyl problem too.
00:18:59
thinkfresh
yeah And like it's all varying degrees relative to the city, but no one is not saying that. No one's like, Oh, we don't have a housing crisis, a fentanyl problem or an unhoused population anymore. They all do. and So I don't really get what's going on.
Geography Game and AI Humor
00:19:14
thinkfresh
Yeah. Uh, do your best to not look at my screen. okay I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to quiz you. We're going to play Geoguess live right now. Are you just going to pull up Baltimore? No, no, no.
00:19:25
thinkfresh
Okay, what are you doing? Explain it to the breadheads. Okay, real quick for the breadheads. I'm ah zooming out on Google Maps all the way so that it's like shows like a globe. Like that's how far I'm zooming. Okay, you're going you're going to the International Space Station. That's right. And um I'm clicking on a subway, a random one. And I'm gonna show you when it's ready. We're playing Geoguesser, but for subway. Exactly. And you're gonna guess where this is. Cool.
00:19:56
thinkfresh
Let me just make sure, no, nothing's gonna... I'm surprised he didn't have these queued up. This is clearly a premeditated idea. You've been thinking about this. Aragon, I've been playing a lot of Geoguesser lately. It's very entertaining. I'm really good at guessing the Netherlands, and I'm really bad at guessing anywhere that speaks Spanish or Portuguese. Totally. um Okay, I found one. Let me just get into the street view here. Yeah, do it.
00:20:25
thinkfresh
I'm surprised it took you that long to find a subway. You know, they're everywhere. Well, I clicked on one and it was it's gone. Oh, deleted. Yeah. Interesting. I didn't know they closed down. and I thought they just opened up. OK, fuck, I got to hide the actual city. Oh, my God. OK, there we go.
00:20:44
thinkfresh
All right, take a look. OK, I'm going to look at Eric's screen. I'm going to try to ID the subway. um I'll explain to you what I see here. It's a subway on a pretty urban street. There's a couple of blue buses. It's right next to a pizza hut. um And there's some other restaurants nearby. I don't we know if you want me to zoom or pan. Am I allowed to look around like what else is on the street?
00:21:09
thinkfresh
Yeah, of course you can hit 360. Oh, we're in ah on a street called Rakuchivi... Okay, I don't even know that language. ah Could be anywhere. ah There's another blue bus.
00:21:23
thinkfresh
This is just a normal street. It could be European, like Eastern Europe, because their buildings look kind of like they got like the the balconies of a European city. And like yeah which oh and yeah there's a statue of ah ah the Greek goddess sub. That's usually a dead giveaway yeah it's in Europe. No kidding. um Yeah, I got to say Eastern Europe somewhere. yeah I don't know where.
00:21:47
thinkfresh
Uh, maybe I think it's the country I'll give it to. Okay. i but I think it's hungry because I'm hungry, but you tell me, are we in hungry? Eric? This is a Hungarian subway. The address is Budapest in Hungary. Hell yeah, buddy. Hell yeah, dude. Let's go. They me the rain bolt of subways. That was crazy, dude. Yeah. And, uh,
00:22:12
thinkfresh
I'll just say that I did hide the city. It was it was in the top corner. Oh, it was. So I was able to zoom in past it. Smart. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good job. That was impressive. Thank you. Thank you. Dude, I love Geoguessing so much. Do Geoguessing is like maybe the most productive game there is. It is the iPhone. I can't like Candy Crush. I feel like a fucking lunatic like a dumbass playing that shit. You are immediately a loser. Yeah. But if you if you're playing Geoguesser, you're like,
00:22:40
thinkfresh
picking up on nuances that you would never like ever care about otherwise. Like ah Romanian street signs. Yeah, totally. I just think it's a beautiful game because it connects you to the reality that we are forced to live on, opens your doors, closes, border opens borders, um opens your mind. Yeah, it's exactly like recording in the park. It's like, yeah, <unk>re we're not rejecting Reality, we're embracing it. Yeah, were our boys back for bringing the reality to the listeners We're we are connecting them to a world that is a greater than their own. Mm-hmm Yeah, and we're getting familiar with the locals a man on a bike just rolled up to sit in the baseball diamond and crush some beers and We've seen them a few times Yeah, totally. This is pretty exciting. Our boy is back. I what's amazing? He's contributing. he's He's also picking up some cans. Yeah, it's very nice. But he's um contributing to his can collection by crushing beers. So like, how many, what percentage of cans that that he brings back do you think are his? Oh, yeah. 90% of them. Yeah, I think so. Oh, to doubt. 100%. Dude picked up three cans and crushed six. Like, that's awesome. That's pretty cool. Yeah.
00:24:02
thinkfresh
he's doing He's doing a good service. Oh, yeah. he's ah He's off to ah ah off to find a different past year today. Respect. Oh, man, Eric. What time is that are we almost oh we got it? We got a few more minutes in this episode. This is great because I really want to share a joke with you that I learned. OK, let's hear it. okay Before I can tell you the joke, I need to share the context that created the joke to begin with.
00:24:29
thinkfresh
This has been an episode of Think Fresh, guys. Whatever. Just kidding. Go ahead. i was going to I was going to a British pub to meet some friends that I didn't really know. Okay. Friends and friends. Friends you don't know? Friends and friends. This is an interesting story so far. Everyone is a friend I haven't met yet. Okay. And I wanted to make sure I was interesting. So I asked chat GPT to make me some jokes and look yeah about British people.
00:24:58
thinkfresh
Because we were at a British pub. I thought it would be appropriate. It's never appropriate to make fun of British people. Unless you're in a pub. Unless you're in a pub. Yeah. So I ask it. Give me some jokes about British people. And it throws me like five jokes back. And I quickly skim through the first four jokes. And they're pretty boring and they kind of stupid. Didn't really care about them. Unmemorable.
00:25:22
thinkfresh
But then, the fifth and final joke, Eric. It came, it populated on my screen, and then chat2dpt immediately also sends a big red banner. The big red banner says, we think our response violates our terms of service. Damn, it snitched on itself. Damn, it narc'd right away. Wow. It's like, we're so sorry we said that. Holy shit, that's so funny. I'm like, okay, what is this joke? And then I read it. And this is the most insane thing ever. It's so stupid. Okay.
00:25:52
thinkfresh
ah Okay, you ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Why do British men hate hide and seek? Why is that? Because good luck hiding when you can't even find the clitoris.
00:26:10
thinkfresh
How does a robot come up with that? Is that a stereotype? I I'm to this day, I'm dumbfounded. I mean, I guess it's like a general male stereotype that the clip does not exist. They're generally male, but like they're like, yeah, what this is we're going to target the British man who didn't deserve this at this moment. Wow. Why do you think it violated the terms of service because it said the clip? Yeah, I think so. or because I guess all of your jokes are making fun of like a group of people by ethnicity. No, I think it was the clit. Okay. It could have said there's so many more like PG ways to go about doing that. Yeah, like can't satisfy their woman. Yeah, exactly. That could be one way to say it. A bit more vague. Yeah. Dude, it just made me howl. I was like, where did it come up? Who taught it this? Yeah, dude, chat GPT had a hard day and it was like, fuck Emma.
00:27:08
thinkfresh
ah let them know what's up. But also like, I don't even think it's a weird stereotype. British men are the best at finding things. Like they found everywhere on earth. there They hide and seek the entire earth. And they found it. Yeah, I'm trying to think like, Are they bad and bad or something? Probably, but aren't all men? but Well, we'll let the breadheads decide that. Yeah, for sure. Breadheads, share your experiences below. If it was up to the breadheads, then we would know the answer. Yeah. um Thanks for listening. It's been a wild episode. I think it's time to end it. Yes, I think so too. Breadheads, thank you for listening. Ciao.
