What's that? Sorry, keep going.
00:00:41
Ty Fresh
It's okay. I was gonna say one of the most incredible wonders of the world is how we took dirt and trees and turn it into a podcasting microphone and this television or this podcasting show. Isn't that wild?

00:01:37
Ty Fresh
I know to only open my mouth when I am anonymous and remotely recording a podcast.
00:01:43
thinkfresh
100% right. Follow us on Instagram. Think Fresh podcast.
00:01:47
Ty Fresh
mm-hmm
00:01:49
thinkfresh
Dude, I think the only song I remember you doing was Headlines by Drake.
00:01:53
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
00:01:53
thinkfresh
Is that right? Okay, nice. Very memorable performance. um po pong pom po po po pong boomng pong pong po boom but
00:02:18
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.
00:02:31
Ty Fresh
Dude, that is exactly how I carry myself when I'm ordering a Subway sandwich.
00:02:37
thinkfresh
Not caring about the consequence?
00:02:38
Ty Fresh
No.
00:02:40
thinkfresh
Yeah, man. Dude, if you stop caring about the consequences too hard, you'll end up as a headline in the Daily Mail.
00:02:46
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.
00:02:55
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.
00:03:10
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.
00:03:16
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:03:20
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.
00:03:33
thinkfresh
That's where the juice is.
00:03:33
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.
00:03:44
thinkfresh
Mm hmm.
00:03:49
thinkfresh
Mm hmm.
00:03:49
Ty Fresh
And they're not saying shit.
00:03:53
Ty Fresh
They're quiet.
00:03:53
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.
00:04:01
Ty Fresh
For sure.
00:04:03
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.
00:04:24
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude, they need to start fearing the consequences, Drake says.
00:04:28
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.
00:04:32
Ty Fresh
Oh, I needed that.
00:04:37
thinkfresh
No one was like not scared enough to tell him Mm
00:04:41
Ty Fresh
Dude, the crazy thing is Diddy fell off decades ago. and But he managed to just like live within the cracks.
00:04:47
thinkfresh
-hmm
00:04:48
Ty Fresh
And I mean that in a metaphorical and a literal sense. He's in the crack, Eric.
00:04:54
thinkfresh
Dude he was quite literally nose first in the crack
00:04:54
Ty Fresh
Your crack.
00:05:00
thinkfresh
That's wild.
00:05:00
Ty Fresh
That's wild. What a crackhead.
00:05:03
thinkfresh
Dude, truly. Ty, you're not wrong that I was on The Daily Mail, and that's actually for a different reason.
00:05:10
Ty Fresh
Oh no, what's going on?
00:05:10
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?
00:05:25
Ty Fresh
Oh absolutely, Balthazar is a institution.
00:05:29
thinkfresh
Of course.
00:05:29
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.
00:05:39
thinkfresh
ah
00:05:44
Ty Fresh
They shouldn't be like throwing arms.
00:05:47
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.
00:06:01
Ty Fresh
Mmm, you're talking about the Bisteca Fiorentina.
00:06:06
thinkfresh
Yeah, exactly. Dude, there's a ribeye that's causing someone to get their ribs cracked.
00:06:13
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.
00:06:25
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.
00:06:35
Ty Fresh
Are we gonna get sound for the breadheads?
00:06:38
thinkfresh
ah
00:06:39
Ty Fresh
We're not even gonna get a video. This is a video of a photo still.
00:06:41
thinkfresh
No.
00:06:44
thinkfresh
It's an ad.
00:06:44
Ty Fresh
Man.
00:06:45
thinkfresh
I don't have Daily Mail Pro.
00:06:48
Ty Fresh
Dude, the Balthasar menu is so funny. Lobster spaghetti. New York strip state au pouvoir, which means with fries.
00:06:58
thinkfresh
Does that mean with Pepper?
00:07:01
Ty Fresh
Maybe it just says pomfrites.
00:07:06
thinkfresh
Yeah, dude, I cannot.
00:07:06
Ty Fresh
But you're watching more. Dude, stop giving these guys money.
00:07:11
thinkfresh
Dude, Daily Mail just got two advertisements out of me.
00:07:12
Ty Fresh
Roasted king salmon.
00:07:15
thinkfresh
That's crazy.
00:07:15
Ty Fresh
Wow. It's more than Think Fresh is going to get for this whole episode.
00:07:20
Ty Fresh
Escargot. Oh, here it is.
00:07:26
Ty Fresh
Whoa. Oh, wow.
00:07:28
thinkfresh
if
00:07:28
Ty Fresh
They're really throwing fists.
00:07:31
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.
00:07:34
Ty Fresh
Yeah. Yeah.
00:07:38
Ty Fresh
Yeah. the The women are fleeing the scene. The Matra D is trying to step in and break it up.
00:07:43
thinkfresh
answer me
00:07:45
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.
00:07:54
thinkfresh
Totally. And yeah, the guests are dropping their forks. Dude, they're gonna have to get like 20 new forks.
00:07:59
Ty Fresh
Wow.
00:08:01
thinkfresh
That's crazy.
00:08:02
Ty Fresh
wow
00:08:02
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.
00:08:16
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.
00:08:25
Ty Fresh
Totally, it's the Berlin Wall right now. They're not getting through.
00:08:29
thinkfresh
and Dude, it's the Brawl Inn wall.
00:08:31
Ty Fresh
The Berlin Wall.
00:08:33
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.
00:08:44
thinkfresh
um Apparently, he's the most...
00:08:47
Ty Fresh
Whoa, whoa, whoa. There was a huge fight outside Balthazar Saturday night after a customer voiced support for James Corden.
00:08:59
thinkfresh
Oh, man. um Yeah.
00:08:59
Ty Fresh
well
00:09:02
Ty Fresh
but Why? Why? Why do people feel so strongly about the guy?
00:09:07
thinkfresh
Dude, I hate James Corden, so I understand.
00:09:10
Ty Fresh
Fair enough.
00:09:12
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?
00:09:20
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.
00:09:28
thinkfresh
Damn.
00:09:32
thinkfresh
Dude, Ozempe can't beat the English breakfast allegations.
00:09:36
Ty Fresh
Yeah, the bangers and Nash were too great.
00:09:40
thinkfresh
Dude, if you got the full English in your system, you need more than Ozempe, unfortunately.
00:09:40
Ty Fresh
They're too fatty.
00:09:46
Ty Fresh
Dude, he's got to get up get this guy on the Fogle diet.
00:09:49
thinkfresh
Holy shit, yeah, dude. You need some, like, you need some macros. Get this voice of macros.
00:09:54
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's carb load.
00:09:56
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?
00:10:02
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:10:10
Ty Fresh
Pillar-eyed.
00:10:12
thinkfresh
It's not a pillow ride.
00:10:12
Ty Fresh
I'll look it up.
00:10:13
thinkfresh
It's pillow read or something um Gotcha
00:10:14
Ty Fresh
It means attacked or ridiculed publicly. There you go, Brett heads. Word of the day. Pillar-eyed.
00:10:23
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?
00:10:44
Ty Fresh
Wow.
00:10:47
Ty Fresh
Dude, I just pulled up i just pulled up the 2022 situation that got James Corden banned from this place.
00:10:55
thinkfresh
Mm hmm.
00:10:55
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.
00:11:05
thinkfresh
Damn.
00:11:06
Ty Fresh
And then James Corden did come forward to The Guardian and admits that he was a little bit ungracious to the servers.
00:11:16
thinkfresh
I mean, I do agree that I was a little bit of cunt.
00:11:19
Ty Fresh
Yeah, exactly. he He may have made a rude, rude comment.
00:11:21
thinkfresh
Damn.
00:11:25
Ty Fresh
Who knows what that could have meant?
00:11:27
thinkfresh
Wow, lewd and rude. That's a deadly combo.
00:11:29
Ty Fresh
Rude and rude. Yeah.
00:11:31
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.
00:11:42
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:11:42
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.
00:11:52
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
00:12:01
thinkfresh
Yeah.
00:12:06
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.
00:12:34
thinkfresh
you know he's guys He's otherwise harmless.
00:12:35
Ty Fresh
Yeah, you're like on the surface. He's just a gesture. He's a certain gestures privilege throughout his entire life.
00:12:43
thinkfresh
Yeah, totally. We're looking at his face right now, and he's definitely on the spectrum now, I think, about it.
00:12:48
Ty Fresh
systems it's It's highly likely.
00:12:51
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.
00:12:51
thinkfresh
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:05
thinkfresh
was the one I just read.
00:13:05
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.
00:13:12
thinkfresh
That's OK. We're you're on opposite ends of the spectrum.
00:13:15
Ty Fresh
computer
00:13:17
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.
00:13:27
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:13:28
thinkfresh
I mean, yeah, that's a good point.
00:13:29
Ty Fresh
Dude.
00:13:31
thinkfresh
So they didn't do anything.
00:13:33
Ty Fresh
That's so New York to like for a customer to like make it all about them.
00:13:37
thinkfresh
Yeah, totally. I'm the victim here.
00:13:39
Ty Fresh
My first and last time here Soho is not safe anymore.
00:13:44
thinkfresh
Damn, she's right, though. What's what's happening to our great American city?
00:13:48
Ty Fresh
So, um, so just to kind of
00:13:49
thinkfresh
Oh, man.
00:13:51
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.
00:14:03
thinkfresh
Mm hmm.
00:14:03
Ty Fresh
um That obviously didn't sit well. There was a then war broke out.
00:14:10
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.
00:14:19
Ty Fresh
That's crazy.
00:14:26
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
00:14:37
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.
00:14:47
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:14:49
thinkfresh
um
00:14:50
Ty Fresh
who
00:14:51
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.
00:14:59
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.
00:15:10
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?
00:15:22
thinkfresh
No carbs for for the model over here.
00:15:22
Ty Fresh
you Just mixed greens and protein.
00:15:27
thinkfresh
Exactly.
00:15:27
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.
00:15:40
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?
00:15:54
thinkfresh
Yeah, no, that's true. When there's a bouncer, there's usually it's usually because like celebrities are constantly there.
00:16:01
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:16:02
thinkfresh
Right. If it's a restaurant, you know, because like otherwise you don't really need it.
00:16:06
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.
00:16:17
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.
00:16:34
thinkfresh
He just overheard it's something the at a table and then started something.
00:16:34
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:16:38
thinkfresh
What do you think?
00:16:38
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
00:16:39
thinkfresh
is Was he dining or was he walking? He was doing the dash regardless, so.
00:16:51
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.
00:16:59
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
00:17:10
thinkfresh
Totally.
00:17:13
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.
00:17:24
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.
00:17:26
thinkfresh
Mm-hmm
00:17:31
Ty Fresh
So I could see someone just, exactly, an a an inadvertent guest episode on their meal.
00:17:32
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.
00:17:55
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?
00:17:56
Ty Fresh
You
00:18:06
thinkfresh
Look at this low income individual strolling by.
00:18:06
Ty Fresh
can't win. No, everyone is commenting on you for just existing if you're nearby there.
00:18:10
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.
00:18:20
Ty Fresh
and can't win no everyone everyone is commenting on you for just existing if you're nearby there
00:18:28
thinkfresh
Yeah, dude. Much like the Afghanistan runway, everyone's clinging to you as you you skirt on by.
00:18:37
Ty Fresh
Wow, that's a deep cut. That's hilarious.
00:18:41
thinkfresh
Oh, yeah.
00:18:41
Ty Fresh
ah It took me a second to be like, what are you talking about? And then it clicked.
00:18:48
thinkfresh
Oh, fuck.
00:18:49
Ty Fresh
Fasten your seatbelts.
00:18:50
thinkfresh
Hmm.
00:18:51
Ty Fresh
The seatbelt light is on.
00:18:52
thinkfresh
The seatbelt light is on.
00:18:52
Ty Fresh
It clicked.
00:18:54
thinkfresh
The landing gear is not in yet.
00:18:56
Ty Fresh
No.
00:18:58
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.
00:19:04
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:19:10
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.
00:19:13
thinkfresh
I think it'll be easier.
00:19:22
thinkfresh
Oh.
00:19:28
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.
00:19:36
Ty Fresh
I can't.
00:19:36
thinkfresh
And are you if you can't get it, are you going to tell Bay that I'd rather have a chill night?
00:19:42
Ty Fresh
Well, I thought we'd order internet, you know, just just chat, light a candle and talk.
00:19:46
thinkfresh
Oh, shit, your life really is a Drake song.
00:19:51
Ty Fresh
So we'll see if that plays out. It's ah my project for the weekend.
00:19:55
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.
00:20:01
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:20:05
thinkfresh
Is it Soho? It's close to Soho. I don't know.
00:20:08
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:20:08
thinkfresh
No, it's not Soho. I'm i'm an idiot. It's somewhere like equally as gentrified, though.
00:20:13
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.
00:20:19
thinkfresh
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. like Caesar's palace is paying for it.
00:20:25
Ty Fresh
Yeah, exactly.
00:20:27
thinkfresh
Mm hmm.
00:20:27
Ty Fresh
Well, we'll see. We'll see if that works out.
00:20:29
thinkfresh
Very cool.
00:20:29
Ty Fresh
I will update the bread heads as I get closer to my dining date, which is next month.
00:20:34
thinkfresh
Mm hmm. I was staying at the hotel where I think carbon is just downstairs.
00:20:40
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:20:41
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.
00:20:45
Ty Fresh
That's where I booked. Yeah.
00:20:47
thinkfresh
Oh, really?
00:20:47
Ty Fresh
Walk right up.
00:20:49
thinkfresh
Oh, let's go, dude.
00:20:50
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:20:50
thinkfresh
That place rocks.
00:20:50
Ty Fresh
They then get the concierge to get me in there. That's their job, right?
00:20:53
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.
00:21:02
Ty Fresh
that's So. Yeah, dude, it's iconic.
00:21:08
thinkfresh
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:09
Ty Fresh
i I'll take a few photos of me fists in the air like I'm outside Balthazar or whatever.
00:21:09
thinkfresh
Damn.
00:21:14
thinkfresh
Hell yeah. Just, like, the Trump, like, shooting video where he's, like, fist-pumping. Fight! Fight!
00:21:23
Ty Fresh
um
00:21:23
thinkfresh
I was going to be you, but at the at the at the MatriD table.
00:21:29
Ty Fresh
Um, I was thinking a little bit about your, um, Afghan comment and taking off from a runway.
00:21:30
thinkfresh
Shit.
00:21:36
Ty Fresh
And then I started thinking about takeoff and then I started thinking about the Migos.
00:21:36
thinkfresh
Cool. Oh.
00:21:40
Ty Fresh
And then I was reminded that Lana del Rey got married this week.
00:21:47
thinkfresh
Oh, wow.
00:21:48
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:21:48
thinkfresh
To to Quavo.
00:21:51
Ty Fresh
Not to Quavo. This is a hard pivot, Eric. She got married to some random dude from Louisiana who does alligator tours.
00:21:54
thinkfresh
Oh shit.
00:22:03
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.
00:22:18
Ty Fresh
Dude, this girl's an enigma. I don't understand. She yeah she goes from Quavo to this guy.
00:22:25
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.
00:22:25
thinkfresh
Clave what a croc.
00:22:31
thinkfresh
Damn.
00:22:34
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.
00:22:46
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.
00:22:57
thinkfresh
Wow.
00:22:58
Ty Fresh
I hope she has a prenup. I don't know.
00:23:00
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.
00:23:11
Ty Fresh
Dude, yeah, he got the the the Queen of Venice Beach.
00:23:14
thinkfresh
That's right.
00:23:14
Ty Fresh
It's crazy. um
00:23:15
thinkfresh
So so I guess he's not he doesn't look like Rob from Love Island.
00:23:16
Ty Fresh
it's
00:23:20
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:23:21
thinkfresh
He's more of a more of a typical kind of like Gator Wrangler and Gator skinned guy.
00:23:28
Ty Fresh
I think so, yeah, Rob is like this new age Metro, a reptile hunter.
00:23:30
thinkfresh
Okay.
00:23:34
Ty Fresh
ah This guy's like your, youre this is your dad's dad's alligator hunter.
00:23:34
thinkfresh
Right.
00:23:39
thinkfresh
ah Nice. Yeah, real OG type. Like he would eat Rob for breakfast.
00:23:45
Ty Fresh
Yeah, we're like, we're like done crocodile Dundee type of type of beat here.
00:23:49
thinkfresh
Mm-hmm. Okay, wow.
00:23:51
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.
00:24:05
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.
00:24:17
Ty Fresh
I hate it when the handsome dude wins. It's it's bad for everybody to perpetuate that.
00:24:24
thinkfresh
I can't stand that. Yet again, the handsome dude wins.
00:24:27
Ty Fresh
and They need to be like funny dude or rich dude, I'll take but handsome dude can't stand for it.
00:24:35
thinkfresh
yeah Funny, I can ah can tolerate.
00:24:40
Ty Fresh
who
00:24:41
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?
00:24:50
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.
00:24:56
thinkfresh
Interesting.
00:25:00
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.
00:25:08
thinkfresh
Mm-hmm. That is a good point and her music sucks I Mean personally like
00:25:13
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.
00:25:25
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.
00:25:28
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm Mm-hmm
00:25:40
thinkfresh
Like she doesn't have the type of songs for that, in my opinion.
00:25:43
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
00:25:49
thinkfresh
Mm hmm.
00:25:56
thinkfresh
Now she's being propped up by Fred.
00:25:58
Ty Fresh
Exactly. Fred again.
00:26:02
thinkfresh
Whoa, actually though.
00:26:02
Ty Fresh
um Yeah, totally. ah But this guy's name might be Fred, I didn't write it down.
00:26:08
thinkfresh
Oh, I don't know it.
00:26:08
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.
00:26:20
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
00:26:33
thinkfresh
Mm hmm. Yeah.
00:26:49
thinkfresh
who
00:26:54
Ty Fresh
I feel like she can tap into if she has this dude who is like the essence of it.
00:27:00
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.
00:27:25
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
00:27:26
thinkfresh
but
00:27:43
thinkfresh
Mm-hmm. I agree 100% dude the childlike creativity right now is taking the form of mommy milkies Mm
00:27:54
Ty Fresh
Exactly. Yeah. um So I don't think there's much love there.
00:28:00
thinkfresh
-hmm
00:28:01
Ty Fresh
I think it's all about just like, how is this fueling him in other ways?
00:28:06
thinkfresh
But unlike Lana, I think he's so back.
00:28:09
Ty Fresh
You think so?
00:28:09
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.
00:28:21
Ty Fresh
Dude.
00:28:23
thinkfresh
I'm back to Kanye.
00:28:24
Ty Fresh
to Yeah, you all said you miss the old Kanye, we'll hear some of his music.
00:28:28
thinkfresh
Yeah, exactly.
00:28:29
Ty Fresh
You know, and then yeah, it's gonna be crazy.
00:28:30
thinkfresh
i think I think it's what's going to happen.
00:28:32
Ty Fresh
I think so too.
00:28:33
thinkfresh
Even today, Tai, when you like
00:28:33
Ty Fresh
I'm really excited.
00:28:35
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.
00:28:40
Ty Fresh
you Yeah, it does.
00:28:43
thinkfresh
So I can I can see him getting that live feedback and being like, fuck, I got to return to my ways.
00:28:50
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm. I gotta, I gotta fix this situation I'm in.
00:28:53
thinkfresh
Mm hmm.
00:28:53
Ty Fresh
And the best way I can do that is by making the most good at musical time.
00:28:57
thinkfresh
Exactly. I think he'll do it. And here's hoping.
00:29:01
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm. We're living for the hope of it all, Eric.
00:29:04
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.
00:29:18
Ty Fresh
The funk.
00:29:19
thinkfresh
Is that he's going to get out of the funk. He's just in a rut, OK?
00:29:22
Ty Fresh
Yeah, for sure. um It's just a question of whether yeah the seven albums stretch.
00:29:24
thinkfresh
Do the last seven albums. rut.
00:29:30
Ty Fresh
It could be that he's not at rock bottom yet, though. It's hard to call the bottom, but we need to be at the bottom before we can go up again.
00:29:38
thinkfresh
Yeah, I mean going on the Alex Jones podcast is pretty close to the rock bottom.
00:29:43
Ty Fresh
dude Yeah, between Alex Jones and Think Fresh, like,
00:29:46
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.
00:29:54
Ty Fresh
That's true. We win either way.
00:29:56
thinkfresh
Exactly, exactly.
00:29:58
Ty Fresh
Wow.
00:29:58
thinkfresh
Wow. And the breadheads win.

00:30:26
Ty Fresh
New era is a hat brand. That was a reference if you didn't pick up on that. Free association, baby.
