Ty Fresh: mm -hmm
thinkfresh: Dude, I think the only song I remember you doing was Headlines by Drake.
Ty Fresh: mm -hmm yeah that's correct Wow but I got self -conscious because my face was tied to my voice so I think I mumbled it I try to lay low you know you're with karaoke you just want it you just want to hit the notes on time you don't some people do a performance not me
thinkfresh: Is that right? Okay, nice. Very memorable performance. um po pong pom po po po pong boomng pong pong po boom but
thinkfresh: Dude, I totally agree. um I think you are actually way too strung out on compliments, overdosed on confidence. You definitely started not to give a fuck and stopped fearing the consequences, so good for you.
Ty Fresh: Dude, that is exactly how I carry myself when I'm ordering a Subway sandwich.
thinkfresh: Not caring about the consequence?
Ty Fresh: No.
thinkfresh: Yeah, man. Dude, if you stop caring about the consequences too hard, you'll end up as a headline in the Daily Mail.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm. Wow. You've been spending a lot of time on the Daily Mail, presumably simply because of all of this ditty drama.
thinkfresh: Uh, no, actually the Diddy drama has been blasting my newsfeed every morning. So I have no need to log into the prestigious dailymail .co .uk. Um, I mean, we can talk about Diddy if you want.
thinkfresh: There is like people coming out and accusing him of more shit. So do we, do we believe all women tie is the question.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
Ty Fresh: It's really hard to say. um I actually it's I don't care as much about what people are saying. I think what people are not saying speaks volumes, Eric.
thinkfresh: That's where the juice is.
Ty Fresh: It's the silence. that yeah, like, what, why hasn't Jay Z spoke up about this? You know, like, there's, there's some really big names in the entertainment industry that you know, we're at the freak offs.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm.
Ty Fresh: And they're not saying shit.
Ty Fresh: They're quiet.
thinkfresh: God damn it. Dude, calling it a freak off, it's like you were asking for trouble. Like you are just asking to be litigated.
Ty Fresh: For sure.
thinkfresh: Damn, man. Well, let's pray that the those who have been wronged have are going to reach justice. They're going to get justice. this And those who have committed wrongs are going to be thrown in prison for whatever amount of time that they deserve. Hopefully it's a lot.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, dude, they need to start fearing the consequences, Drake says.
thinkfresh: Exactly, I'm opening the tab back up had someone tell me I fell off who I needed that Dude someone had to tell Diddy that he fell off man.
Ty Fresh: Oh, I needed that.
thinkfresh: No one was like not scared enough to tell him Mm
Ty Fresh: Dude, the crazy thing is Diddy fell off decades ago. and But he managed to just like live within the cracks.
thinkfresh: -hmm
Ty Fresh: And I mean that in a metaphorical and a literal sense. He's in the crack, Eric.
thinkfresh: Dude he was quite literally nose first in the crack
Ty Fresh: Your crack.
thinkfresh: That's wild.
Ty Fresh: That's wild. What a crackhead.
thinkfresh: Dude, truly. Ty, you're not wrong that I was on The Daily Mail, and that's actually for a different reason.
Ty Fresh: Oh no, what's going on?
thinkfresh: um Are you OK? No, I was on there because I saw you might have seen this as well, but there was a brawl outside of Balthazar, New York. Are you familiar with this high net worth of restaurant?
Ty Fresh: Oh absolutely, Balthazar is a institution.
thinkfresh: Of course.
Ty Fresh: Um, why was, so, okay. Why are white collar dudes fighting with their fists? They should be imposing tariffs or conducting ruthless um contract negotiation.
thinkfresh: ah
Ty Fresh: They shouldn't be like throwing arms.
thinkfresh: No, I 100 % agree. um I have no idea what's going on, Tai. I think this could possibly, be like just based on what I'm seeing in this article, this could possibly be a industry type of beef, and I'm not talking about AAA.
Ty Fresh: Mmm, you're talking about the Bisteca Fiorentina.
thinkfresh: Yeah, exactly. Dude, there's a ribeye that's causing someone to get their ribs cracked.
Ty Fresh: Well, well, well said. Okay, so there's a brawl outside. It's literally dudes in white collar shirts, white dudes and white collar shirts beating each other up. um Make this make sense.
thinkfresh: Okay, that's gonna be hard for me to do, I'll be honest. But the the video is absolutely insane. I don't know if you've seen this. Maybe we should just, I'll just play it for you right now.
Ty Fresh: Are we gonna get sound for the breadheads?
thinkfresh: ah
Ty Fresh: We're not even gonna get a video. This is a video of a photo still.
thinkfresh: No.
thinkfresh: It's an ad.
Ty Fresh: Man.
thinkfresh: I don't have Daily Mail Pro.
Ty Fresh: Dude, the Balthasar menu is so funny. Lobster spaghetti. New York strip state au pouvoir, which means with fries.
thinkfresh: Does that mean with Pepper?
Ty Fresh: Maybe it just says pomfrites.
thinkfresh: Yeah, dude, I cannot.
Ty Fresh: But you're watching more. Dude, stop giving these guys money.
thinkfresh: Dude, Daily Mail just got two advertisements out of me.
Ty Fresh: Roasted king salmon.
thinkfresh: That's crazy.
Ty Fresh: Wow. It's more than Think Fresh is going to get for this whole episode.
Ty Fresh: Escargot. Oh, here it is.
Ty Fresh: Whoa. Oh, wow.
thinkfresh: if
Ty Fresh: They're really throwing fists.
thinkfresh: So it looks like, I'm just going to narrate that. It looks like we have an Atlanta rapper who is hiding the white -colored staff at the balls.
Ty Fresh: Yeah. Yeah.
Ty Fresh: Yeah. the The women are fleeing the scene. The Matra D is trying to step in and break it up.
thinkfresh: answer me
Ty Fresh: And the tumble is like just like a looting tunes. It's just like a ball of like smoke coming out and it's rolling down the sidewalk.
thinkfresh: Totally. And yeah, the guests are dropping their forks. Dude, they're gonna have to get like 20 new forks.
Ty Fresh: Wow.
thinkfresh: That's crazy.
Ty Fresh: wow
thinkfresh: um Dude, this is wild because it happened in between the Balthazar storefront, like the sidewalk patio and the COVID patio. So right down the middle of the business, you have this like huge brawl.
thinkfresh: So waiters can't bring you know the steak frites over to the COVID patio while this is going on. There's a huge delay in production, it seems.
Ty Fresh: Totally, it's the Berlin Wall right now. They're not getting through.
thinkfresh: and Dude, it's the Brawl Inn wall.
Ty Fresh: The Berlin Wall.
thinkfresh: ah So I don't know, Ty. I have no clue what this happening ah what was was happening here, but it turns out there's James Corden is being name -dropped in this article.
thinkfresh: um Apparently, he's the most...
Ty Fresh: Whoa, whoa, whoa. There was a huge fight outside Balthazar Saturday night after a customer voiced support for James Corden.
thinkfresh: Oh, man. um Yeah.
Ty Fresh: well
Ty Fresh: but Why? Why? Why do people feel so strongly about the guy?
thinkfresh: Dude, I hate James Corden, so I understand.
Ty Fresh: Fair enough.
thinkfresh: Like, there's not much to like about him, but I would say he's like one of those like polarizing daytime TV guys, you know?
Ty Fresh: Dude, yeah, I completely agree. He's not funny. He's annoying. Ozempic didn't really work on him. Like, its just he's just a failure in all ways to me.
thinkfresh: Damn.
thinkfresh: Dude, Ozempe can't beat the English breakfast allegations.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, the bangers and Nash were too great.
thinkfresh: Dude, if you got the full English in your system, you need more than Ozempe, unfortunately.
Ty Fresh: They're too fatty.
Ty Fresh: Dude, he's got to get up get this guy on the Fogle diet.
thinkfresh: Holy shit, yeah, dude. You need some, like, you need some macros. Get this voice of macros.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm. Yeah, it's carb load.
thinkfresh: um So somebody who is restaurant tour Keith McNally was interview interviewed um He this is somebody who publicly I have no idea what this word means pillow ride Do you know what that means?
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm.
Ty Fresh: Pillar -eyed.
thinkfresh: It's not a pillow ride.
Ty Fresh: I'll look it up.
thinkfresh: It's pillow read or something um Gotcha
Ty Fresh: It means attacked or ridiculed publicly. There you go, Brett heads. Word of the day. Pillar -eyed.
thinkfresh: um In October 2022 after a particularly unfortunate encounter at the restaurant and revealed he banned cordon So he so this guy is getting banned left and right um He also followed up by saying he's a hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny cretin of a man And the most abusive customer to my both is our servers since the restaurant opened That's crazy, are you throwing hands?
Ty Fresh: Wow.
Ty Fresh: Dude, I just pulled up i just pulled up the 2022 situation that got James Corden banned from this place.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm.
Ty Fresh: And at the time, the owner, Keith McNally, who just quoted, said the TV host was extremely nasty to staff on two separate occasions.
thinkfresh: Damn.
Ty Fresh: And then James Corden did come forward to The Guardian and admits that he was a little bit ungracious to the servers.
thinkfresh: I mean, I do agree that I was a little bit of cunt.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, exactly. he He may have made a rude, rude comment.
thinkfresh: Damn.
Ty Fresh: Who knows what that could have meant?
thinkfresh: Wow, lewd and rude. That's a deadly combo.
Ty Fresh: Rude and rude. Yeah.
thinkfresh: um Damn, this guy's just so unlikable. So like when stuff like this happens, it just it's just confirmation bias for me. Like it confirms the feelings I already had for this guy.
Ty Fresh: Yeah.
thinkfresh: But this guy wants to make a show about singing karaoke in the car. Like like we're going full circle here. Don't sing karaoke. It's a bad thing to do.
Ty Fresh: wow what a segue and you know what it makes sense that he got there was a fight because like this guy's got the most punchable face and the minute you start thinking about James Corden you start thinking about throwing fists because you're just like like I need to I gotta go do some Pilates after this
thinkfresh: Yeah.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm. I start sweating profusely. My heart rate is going up. I need to do something. Mm hmm. I think it's kind of rare, though, that a British guy is causing this much stir in like the US. Like he's not Boris, you know, he's just a TV like loser who sits in the front of his like suburban plays like Migos and has them sing along.
thinkfresh: you know he's guys He's otherwise harmless.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, you're like on the surface. He's just a gesture. He's a certain gestures privilege throughout his entire life.
thinkfresh: Yeah, totally. We're looking at his face right now, and he's definitely on the spectrum now, I think, about it.
Ty Fresh: systems it's It's highly likely.
thinkfresh: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ty Fresh: um There was a really juicy quote in this article that we're ah browsing on the DailyMail .co .uk, Eric, and I think it was up a little further when a McNally said something really interesting about it.
thinkfresh: was the one I just read.
Ty Fresh: Oh, you already got it. Yeah, you just, you already, okay. Sorry, i'm I'm also a little slow, me and James.
thinkfresh: That's OK. We're you're on opposite ends of the spectrum.
Ty Fresh: computer
thinkfresh: um This is kind of funny. The woman said at least staff could have done the least they could have done was offer me a complimentary glass of wine or something.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: I mean, yeah, that's a good point.
Ty Fresh: Dude.
thinkfresh: So they didn't do anything.
Ty Fresh: That's so New York to like for a customer to like make it all about them.
thinkfresh: Yeah, totally. I'm the victim here.
Ty Fresh: My first and last time here Soho is not safe anymore.
thinkfresh: Damn, she's right, though. What's what's happening to our great American city?
Ty Fresh: So, um, so just to kind of
thinkfresh: Oh, man.
Ty Fresh: reiterate what I think happened here. A patron said some pro cordon propaganda to a server or to maybe even the restaurant owner.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm.
Ty Fresh: um That obviously didn't sit well. There was a then war broke out.
thinkfresh: I guess so. Dude, worse has happened because of a few words. So this is that they got lucky, I think. But do you think that, OK, I have a very firm stance that all great restaurants need a controversy once in a while just to like clear the resi, you know, I mean, like clear the open table, make it easier for people who like like and know about this place to go versus like random tourists.
Ty Fresh: That's crazy.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: So I think this is actually beneficial for Balthazar. They're going to get rid of all of the, um you know, corporate bros who are flying in for, you know, their Tuesday sink.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: um
Ty Fresh: who
thinkfresh: They're going to get more like, you know, interesting, cool people that New York is known for. So I think it's actually net beneficial for the restaurant.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, 100%. Like, you don't want to do a one on one with your manager and split the Atlantic halibut at lunch, you know, like, we don't want if that if you're doing that, we don't want you the table next to us, you're ruining the vibe.
thinkfresh: Exactly, exactly, dude. We need like like hot, cool people to sit sit next to us and like just order of the steak like no side, you know?
thinkfresh: No carbs for for the model over here.
Ty Fresh: you Just mixed greens and protein.
thinkfresh: Exactly.
Ty Fresh: So I 100 % agree it needs a controversy. It also if this is really good for the bouncers at restaurants industry, which I've been seeing more and more of lately, and they I don't feel like they do anything.
Ty Fresh: All they do is like move the rope and like ask if you need valet. Um, but they always look so intimidating and it's so funny to like go into like an Italian restaurant and you got to like get, get past the bouncer first, you know?
thinkfresh: Yeah, no, that's true. When there's a bouncer, there's usually it's usually because like celebrities are constantly there.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: Right. If it's a restaurant, you know, because like otherwise you don't really need it.
Ty Fresh: So they're they're kind of like performative bouncers then. They're this just there to like make the celebrity feel comfortable entering the establishment. But now, in this case, they actually have to bounce some people.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm. Totally. Do you think the person who caused this argument or the scuffle was actually dining there? Because it it looked like he just ran off and it's possible that he like was just a walk walking by like, you know, common street traffic.
thinkfresh: He just overheard it's something the at a table and then started something.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm.
thinkfresh: What do you think?
Ty Fresh: Hmm It's it's tough to say Either way, so I let's hope that he got like a free meal out of it, you know get that lobster spaghetti and run
thinkfresh: is Was he dining or was he walking? He was doing the dash regardless, so.
thinkfresh: 100 percent. That's what I was thinking. Like order the steak and then cause a scene so that you have it out, you know.
Ty Fresh: ah So that would make more sense like that would be more clever to smoke and mirrors it. And then you make off with a belly full of short rib and a bullet full of cash. But based off of the layout of the restaurant where you're crossing
thinkfresh: Totally.
Ty Fresh: the Berlin Wall here, um COVID patio on the right, traditional patio on the left, truly is the past and the future, coming to you're walking straddling that line.
Ty Fresh: and and A New Yorker loves a a little bit of banter, a little bit of commentary, a little bit of disagreement or debate.
thinkfresh: Mm -hmm
Ty Fresh: So I could see someone just, exactly, an a an inadvertent guest episode on their meal.
thinkfresh: Hey yo dickhead yeah We are no stranger to that um But you're right walking down the Balthazar runway has got to be one of the most scary experiences because I You know, you're you got people on both sides of you silently and not so silently judging you.
thinkfresh: I'm assuming ah simply for existing, you know, like on your left, you got ah two guys wearing all birds who are like, man, look what's happening to our city?
Ty Fresh: You
thinkfresh: Look at this low income individual strolling by.
Ty Fresh: can't win. No, everyone is commenting on you for just existing if you're nearby there.
thinkfresh: And then on your on your right, you got like some Basquiat look alike, who's like, damn, we got to find a new spot. This place is cooked. You know, it's just you can't win.
Ty Fresh: and can't win no everyone everyone is commenting on you for just existing if you're nearby there
thinkfresh: Yeah, dude. Much like the Afghanistan runway, everyone's clinging to you as you you skirt on by.
Ty Fresh: Wow, that's a deep cut. That's hilarious.
thinkfresh: Oh, yeah.
Ty Fresh: ah It took me a second to be like, what are you talking about? And then it clicked.
thinkfresh: Oh, fuck.
Ty Fresh: Fasten your seatbelts.
thinkfresh: Hmm.
Ty Fresh: The seatbelt light is on.
thinkfresh: The seatbelt light is on.
Ty Fresh: It clicked.
thinkfresh: The landing gear is not in yet.
Ty Fresh: No.
thinkfresh: Ty, I have never been to Balthazar, but I've always wanted to go. I don't have I believe it's in New York once, so I need to like I need to like make sure I get the res next time I go.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, um ah you'll have to. um i might be visit I'm currently trying to lock in a res at a different New new York City institution, Carbone, but the Las of Vegas derivative version.
thinkfresh: I think it'll be easier.
thinkfresh: Oh.
thinkfresh: Damn, man, I was about to say, like, I was going to repeat the Drake line. He's like, your man can't get a reservation up in Carbone.
Ty Fresh: I can't.
thinkfresh: And are you if you can't get it, are you going to tell Bay that I'd rather have a chill night?
Ty Fresh: Well, I thought we'd order internet, you know, just just chat, light a candle and talk.
thinkfresh: Oh, shit, your life really is a Drake song.
Ty Fresh: So we'll see if that plays out. It's ah my project for the weekend.
thinkfresh: Nice. I think you can do it. I was able to get the Vegas carbon res. I don't think it's as hard as the you know elite New York.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: Is it Soho? It's close to Soho. I don't know.
Ty Fresh: Yeah.
thinkfresh: No, it's not Soho. I'm i'm an idiot. It's somewhere like equally as gentrified, though.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, for sure. I just think it's because there's less people in Las Vegas. So there's and there's less money. Well, there's the money, but it's house money.
thinkfresh: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. like Caesar's palace is paying for it.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, exactly.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm.
Ty Fresh: Well, we'll see. We'll see if that works out.
thinkfresh: Very cool.
Ty Fresh: I will update the bread heads as I get closer to my dining date, which is next month.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm. I was staying at the hotel where I think carbon is just downstairs.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: It was like the park MGM. It's quite nice. I don't know if you've booked a place yet, but it was a nice nice spot.
Ty Fresh: That's where I booked. Yeah.
thinkfresh: Oh, really?
Ty Fresh: Walk right up.
thinkfresh: Oh, let's go, dude.
Ty Fresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: That place rocks.
Ty Fresh: They then get the concierge to get me in there. That's their job, right?
thinkfresh: Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Dude, every time I think about Vegas, I just think about, like, Tupac beating someone up in, like, the hotel lobby. Like, that scene, like, everywhere you go, it just looks like that scene.
Ty Fresh: that's So. Yeah, dude, it's iconic.
thinkfresh: Yeah, yeah.
Ty Fresh: i I'll take a few photos of me fists in the air like I'm outside Balthazar or whatever.
thinkfresh: Damn.
thinkfresh: Hell yeah. Just, like, the Trump, like, shooting video where he's, like, fist -pumping. Fight! Fight!
Ty Fresh: um
thinkfresh: I was going to be you, but at the at the at the MatriD table.
Ty Fresh: Um, I was thinking a little bit about your, um, Afghan comment and taking off from a runway.
thinkfresh: Shit.
Ty Fresh: And then I started thinking about takeoff and then I started thinking about the Migos.
thinkfresh: Cool. Oh.
Ty Fresh: And then I was reminded that Lana del Rey got married this week.
thinkfresh: Oh, wow.
Ty Fresh: Yeah.
thinkfresh: To to Quavo.
Ty Fresh: Not to Quavo. This is a hard pivot, Eric. She got married to some random dude from Louisiana who does alligator tours.
thinkfresh: Oh shit.
thinkfresh: Wow. So tell me more, like how does she find this guy? I mean, it makes sense that like in between alligator wranglers, you're dating a quavo, but you always come back to, you always come back to the croc.
Ty Fresh: Dude, this girl's an enigma. I don't understand. She yeah she goes from Quavo to this guy.
thinkfresh: Clave what a croc.
Ty Fresh: I mean, he's not like ah he's not like a looking dude, but he really is like a crocodile hunter. like he's like really like just like He's been in the sun all day.
thinkfresh: Damn.
Ty Fresh: You can tell his skin is just blitzed. He's got like a really gruff kind of like, but what's that TV show, The Duck Hunters? He's kind of got like that look with the camo and just like the kind of wacky hair.
Ty Fresh: um Apparently, they met a few years ago, presumably on a croc hunting tour, um fell in love, and now they're sealing the deal. So she's marrying it back into pedestrian life.
thinkfresh: Wow.
Ty Fresh: I hope she has a prenup. I don't know.
thinkfresh: What a mythical pull for that guy who is just, you know, just doing his day job and then Lana pulls up and he's he shoot he shot his shot and he got it.
Ty Fresh: Dude, yeah, he got the the the Queen of Venice Beach.
thinkfresh: That's right.
Ty Fresh: It's crazy. um
thinkfresh: So so I guess he's not he doesn't look like Rob from Love Island.
Ty Fresh: it's
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm.
thinkfresh: He's more of a more of a typical kind of like Gator Wrangler and Gator skinned guy.
Ty Fresh: I think so, yeah, Rob is like this new age Metro, a reptile hunter.
thinkfresh: Okay.
Ty Fresh: ah This guy's like your, youre this is your dad's dad's alligator hunter.
thinkfresh: Right.
thinkfresh: ah Nice. Yeah, real OG type. Like he would eat Rob for breakfast.
Ty Fresh: Yeah, we're like, we're like done crocodile Dundee type of type of beat here.
thinkfresh: Mm -hmm. Okay, wow.
Ty Fresh: um It's really funny because like, it's almost like Lana Delery wants to be like in a Shrek movie, you know, cause she was like, kind of like treated almost like a princess. And then she's like, Mary's this ogre in a swamp.
thinkfresh: yeah Oh shit, dude. I love ah love stories where the hot, beautiful, successful woman marries the ogre. It's really inspirational for all the breadheads.
Ty Fresh: I hate it when the handsome dude wins. It's it's bad for everybody to perpetuate that.
thinkfresh: I can't stand that. Yet again, the handsome dude wins.
Ty Fresh: and They need to be like funny dude or rich dude, I'll take but handsome dude can't stand for it.
thinkfresh: yeah Funny, I can ah can tolerate.
Ty Fresh: who
thinkfresh: um Wow, so what's next for her? Is she retiring from music or is this going to be a new source of inspiration for her? What do you think?
Ty Fresh: I kind of think this is, I've always thought that Lana Del Rey is an industry plant, Eric. Um, and cause she's like mixed up her sound over the years.
thinkfresh: Interesting.
Ty Fresh: She's always been kind of like, like, how could she like headline Coachella without like a little bit of help from the record labels? Like she's not that popular.
thinkfresh: Mm -hmm. That is a good point and her music sucks I Mean personally like
Ty Fresh: Music isn't amazing. It's, it's good enough to be like fifth, fifth row at Coachella of, of the, um, the lineup, like smaller typeface.
thinkfresh: No, for sure. She's definitely a 12 point font type of chick. But um personally, like I would love to see her and at like a sleepy concert at the Orpheum, you know, versus versus like I'm standing in the desert for six hours waiting for her to come on.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm Mm -hmm
thinkfresh: Like she doesn't have the type of songs for that, in my opinion.
Ty Fresh: No, she she just doesn't have the songs I don't think she should pull the crowds like it's all synthetic It's it's kind of like the stock market Eric is being propped up by the Fed So she's
thinkfresh: Mm hmm.
thinkfresh: Now she's being propped up by Fred.
Ty Fresh: Exactly. Fred again.
thinkfresh: Whoa, actually though.
Ty Fresh: um Yeah, totally. ah But this guy's name might be Fred, I didn't write it down.
thinkfresh: Oh, I don't know it.
Ty Fresh: Um, so I think this entire, this entire move to marry this dude is all part of a larger act for her to become more of like a Miss Americana type o persona.
Ty Fresh: Like if you think about her music, it already has this like aura of like, Floridian, trad, like, you're in an orange field or like an orangery and you're you're sipping tea and you're like you're question you're questioning like traditional femininity and like whether or not you should propel the the beliefs of your your own mother in her long dress or do something like re -engage your sexuality in a modern way you know there's like this aspect of like a lot of florida tradition that
thinkfresh: Mm hmm. Yeah.
thinkfresh: who
Ty Fresh: I feel like she can tap into if she has this dude who is like the essence of it.
thinkfresh: Yeah, I guess so. I mean, is it crazy to think that in a feeling artist would marry for inspiration? Like, is Kanye doing that? Like, Kanye married Bianca Senzori for what reason other than to, you know, have a reason to wake up in the morning. You know, I got i can think of two.
Ty Fresh: can you focus on both of them at once though dude i completely agree that connie married for muse not not for love like he's he needs a muse around him to stimulate that childlike creativity in his brain um he needs to jiggle the brain a little bit you know
thinkfresh: but
thinkfresh: Mm -hmm. I agree 100 % dude the childlike creativity right now is taking the form of mommy milkies Mm
Ty Fresh: Exactly. Yeah. um So I don't think there's much love there.
thinkfresh: -hmm
Ty Fresh: I think it's all about just like, how is this fueling him in other ways?
thinkfresh: But unlike Lana, I think he's so back.
Ty Fresh: You think so?
thinkfresh: I think we're like slated, Tai, for a huge comeback of Kanye West. If he was smart, I think he would revert his name. He would revert changes to Kanye just to signify that everybody is like, I ain't fucking around no more.
Ty Fresh: Dude.
thinkfresh: I'm back to Kanye.
Ty Fresh: to Yeah, you all said you miss the old Kanye, we'll hear some of his music.
thinkfresh: Yeah, exactly.
Ty Fresh: You know, and then yeah, it's gonna be crazy.
thinkfresh: i think I think it's what's going to happen.
Ty Fresh: I think so too.

Ty Fresh: I'm really excited.
thinkfresh: Like if you see clips of his like most recent concerts and he's performing like his old songs, even Yeeza's era, it just goes so hard still.
Ty Fresh: you Yeah, it does.
thinkfresh: So I can I can see him getting that live feedback and being like, fuck, I got to return to my ways.
Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm. I gotta, I gotta fix this situation I'm in.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm.
Ty Fresh: And the best way I can do that is by making the most good at musical time.

Ty Fresh: Mm -hmm. We're living for the hope of it all, Eric.
thinkfresh: Mm hmm. I'm not going to, you know, hold my breath because I think he's going to I don't feel do it. But I think if my intuition is correct, I think he's going to snap out of whatever shit he's in now and come back.

thinkfresh: Is that he's going to get out of the funk. He's just in a rut, OK?
Ty Fresh: Yeah, for sure. um It's just a question of whether yeah the seven albums stretch.

thinkfresh: Yeah, I mean going on the Alex Jones podcast is pretty close to the rock bottom.
Ty Fresh: dude Yeah, between Alex Jones and Think Fresh, like,
thinkfresh: Oh, shit. I mean, the other way this could go is like he could continue to to descend and then we could finally get him on our show.
