Think Fresh
Breadheads. That's a clean crack. One more. One more for the breadheads.
00:01:02
Think Fresh
Hope that didn't clip. I think it did a little. Cheers. Oh, man. Listen to this, breadheads. Another day.
00:01:12
Think Fresh
Gurgle, gurgle. Another episode. Another lowlife ultra lager Another episode using our new audio equipment. love these wireless mics. Look, I'm walking around the room as we record.
00:01:25
Think Fresh
Oh my God. I'm on, dude, we don't have to sit anymore. So am i I should stand on something. I'm going to stand on this cabinet. This is so cool.
00:01:35
Think Fresh
Eric's climbing the walls right now. I think it's working still. Lavalier in one hand. Yeah. Everything's working still. This is crazy. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.
00:01:46
Think Fresh
I feel like what this is like when man discovered
Wireless Recording Adventures
00:01:48
Think Fresh
fire. he They were like, wo just like jumping around a bunch. Going ape mode. Yeah. I actually prefer this. So last episode, Ty, we had the lavaliers kind of magnetized to our chest. Like a body cam.
00:02:02
Think Fresh
Which would be fun if we were like doing an activity. Like I think we should probably go to Subway next time and like order with the mics. Have it like pinned to my shirt. yeah dude. We're mic'd up. We got the Ray-Ban metas on our eyes. we're It's a multi-sensory recording for the breadheads. That'll go on the Patreon. We can try to you know con the sandwich artist into giving us free Subway for the homeless.
00:02:28
Think Fresh
Yeah, totally. yeah Turn the Riz up. Yeah, but it's just great to have these. Right now we're using them in our left hands. Well, my left, your right, and beer in the other, which is most important. So you like to rock the beer in the right hand.
00:02:42
Think Fresh
I find it, like that's my phone hand, so I like to save it for tech. I mean, in my right hand, you could either find a beer or my hog. It's one of those. Well, I'm glad it's a beer today. That's right. I was i really dodged dodged a close one there. Could have been the hog.
00:03:00
Think Fresh
Could have been the hog. In my hand, you'll catch a beer or my hog. my mouth, you'll catch a mic or a smoke. Yeah, or a footy. Or a footlong. That's right, baby. Cheers to that. I'll drink to that.
00:03:12
Think Fresh
Oh, dude, I feel like our game has just leveled up so much and it's unfair because we're already at 477 episodes. Yeah, dude, I think actually having the most the mic between my fingers makes me a more ah fragrant podcaster, just like feeling more energized. Yeah, I feel energized as
Pre-Podcast Anxiety and Humor
00:03:30
Think Fresh
well. um But i think the low life ultra has a part to play in as actually what's energizing. Yeah, the mic is just correlation. The the beer is causation.
00:03:40
Think Fresh
I'm sure. Okay. So I, I kind of get like worked up before a podcast episode, like before I was coming here, was at the ah grocery store or the, far like I don't know, the like the drug mart with my, my boo. You're having cold sweats.
00:03:53
Think Fresh
I just like, so so it's the cold cuts that did that to you. Yeah. That's the cuts, dude. Um, she says to me, like, I'm thinking about getting a hair mask and I like freaked out. I'm like,
00:04:04
Think Fresh
what the hell is a hair mask? I'm like yelling in the middle of the room. And then I like had to step back. I'm like, I'm sorry I freaked out. I'm podcasting later. And my body was getting ready for it Yeah. It's like when you warm up the engine for a car. yeah Yeah, exactly. It's like you're idling in the driveway still, you know, you're getting ready to hit the gas. Yeah. I was like spilling a little bit too much exhaust. I was getting some CO2 poisoning myself, Eric. Oh, shit. yeah That's why I needed to get over here and get in this booth. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:04:34
Think Fresh
Now we're seeing O2 beers.
00:04:38
Think Fresh
sky So so what what's on the agenda for today?
Cactus Club's International Perception
00:04:45
Think Fresh
What should be chatting about? um tylia talk about cactus club yeah We to talk about Cactus Club Big old Boston, I think, opened the new Cactus Club. their Cactus Club's heading south. It's heading south. maybe in america That's right. um Is this the first location in the States?
00:05:04
Think Fresh
I don't think so. I think there's one in Washington. i think there might be one in like Detroit maybe or Chicago already. i could Google it, but I don't want to.
00:05:15
Think Fresh
I don't want to either. so Let's assume it's maybe the first. Okay. um it's the first one in the u.s which is big um this used to be a canadian only thing isn i know every major canadian city has one right like calgary edmonton these fucking second tier cities have ca even they have cactus clubs okay you can't get one in la it doesn't make any sense it's pretty amazing isn't um i think it's a good thing overall but I find interesting, Ty, that the Americans are approaching it very differently than the Canadians. Have you noticed any of this? No, I haven't noticed any of this.
00:05:55
Think Fresh
ah From what I can tell, in the United States of A, they are treating it as like a fine dining establishment. Oh, yes, totally. They've like classed the shit out of that. That's right. So they're they're putting on their best, ah their Sunday best, getting dressed up, dolled up, um and going hit in the club. you know I mean?
00:06:15
Think Fresh
ah They're treating it at more than a casual fine dining. They're treating it as like just straight up fine dining. Straight up fine. And I know exactly why, Eric. Because why the spectrum of being dirt poor in America is way greater than Canada. So your casual fine spectrum has just like wider range.
00:06:33
Think Fresh
Like the casual fine dining of the US of A is like Swiss Chalet and Olive Garden. That's what their casual fine Lobster. So you're coming in like a couple of cuts above literally in the meat department and they don't they don't know how to classify that because they already have casual fine dining.
00:06:50
Think Fresh
Interesting. i don't know if I would call like Swiss chalet casual fine dining. That's because you're Canadian. Am I just like ignorant?
00:07:00
Think Fresh
I think so. i think that's like, that's the casual fine dining meal. Okay. I see. Huh. So you just got to calibrate. There's a calibration. Yeah. Got you. These guys are coming in on like the upper unchallon, you know? Yeah. Okay. Interesting.
00:07:13
Think Fresh
Imagine living in like an American flyover city and you have to spend like $28 on a green goddess harvest bowl, you know, with the salmon. A crispy tofu bowl running you like in $28. That's fine dining, baby. That's crazy.
00:07:28
Think Fresh
Yeah, I know you got a great point. um It's also novel, you know, like the first will set the standard for the rest. And in these like dark times where US Canada travel isn't happening as much.
00:07:42
Think Fresh
um I just feel like they're just missing out on what we've built over here, you know, institutions really. Yeah. So now they're just kind of doing it for the first time. And I guess like it's up to them to make it what they want. you know i don't know if I want a place like Cactus Club to be fine dining. I want somewhere where I can you know get a handheld. I want to get a handheld. I want to turn up a little bit, but I also want to be like...
00:08:10
Think Fresh
in an atmosphere that feels like it's a bit of a trio self. That's right. i want to hear some 2018 Drake yeah yeah dig into my yam fries and just cozy up next to a view of the Brard Inlet. Exactly. You nailed it. It is a vibe. And I think like what the beauty of Cactus Club is, is that like everyone
Celebrating Canadian Culture
00:08:28
Think Fresh
is someone there, you know, it doesn't matter if you're like taking the the in-laws out for dinner. It's a first date. It's a 10th anniversary. all are welcome there and all can like find their place in that big cushy dimly lit booth that's right baby like they all got even a couple co-hosts can pull turn up there we can be right next to like i don't know drake's getting another round of bellinis one table over you know we're all we're all there hanging out it's for everybody that's right everyone's someone there it's the best place on earth it's really it's really heaven there it's
00:09:02
Think Fresh
Truly the best plays ever made. And like the Bellinis, maybe Canada's finest export now. Officially. I agree. um Dude, I'm due for a Cactus Club trip.
00:09:14
Think Fresh
I think we got to go back to the where it all started, you know, North Van, the original Cactus Club. It's a nice little hangout spot. for that's ah That's a retro spot for sure. a bit of a deep cut, but. Mm hmm. Yeah, dude, how about like Canada is just like constantly ranked as like best reputation in the world.
00:09:31
Think Fresh
And it's like, how could you not? We gave the world Lululemon leggings and Bellinis like from Cactus like And you're allowed to wear the Lululemon leggings at the Bellini place. Like your welcome world, you know?
00:09:43
Think Fresh
Yeah. What a gift. Like I love a Venetian Bellini, but the cactuses actually iterated on the concept and made it a little better. With the red. With the red on it. Dress it up with the red, will Crazy.
00:09:55
Think Fresh
When you said Venetian, I just assumed you meant the hotel in Vegas. Whoa. And I was like, they have a like special blini there. And I realized you're talking about Cipriani family Harry's Bar. OG, OG. OG.
00:10:09
Think Fresh
OG, oh my. OG Harry's Bar is actually in London, eh? Why'd you say A? I don't know. I'm embracing the general kind of theme of this episode.
00:10:21
Think Fresh
OG Harry's Bar is in London? i think so. Or is maybe second location in London? I don't know. You told me that fact. Yeah, I know. I'm walking it back right now. We'll cut that. We'll redact that from the episode. ah um Yeah, Harry's Bar.
00:10:38
Think Fresh
But you know what, Ty?
Exploring New Dining Experiences
00:10:41
Think Fresh
Mr. Rob Feeney has taken over Crocodile as well. Yes. And I have yet to try that place, but I think it'll be, i think a better iteration of La Crocodile. La Crocodile little bit sleepy in my opinion.
00:10:54
Think Fresh
Yeah. It's just like old people hanging out, eating old concepts, old notions of food, you know, the food's fresh, but it's an old notion. so well Can I see your old concepts menu? Yeah, stick to some traditional plates here. Yeah, can we just get back to the old concepts just please? we just like separate the protein from the carb?
00:11:16
Think Fresh
Oh fuck. Some menus just gotta to go back to the old concepts. Yeah, the the the core tenets, you know? Yeah. Slop it ah on a plate. No bowls. Fuck. We're going prehistoric with it. yeah um But have you perused the menu? Have you been? like what's What's your kind of take on the Rob Feeney, the Crocodile?
00:11:37
Think Fresh
Oh, I'm croc curious for sure. And I think like if we can just sell a few more BetterHelp memberships via our coupon code in the bio, I think you and I could maybe go on a little co co-host date there.
00:11:53
Think Fresh
Oh, I would love that. That kind of fun hey? I would love that, dude. um I did promise you a double date when I got back from Hawaii. And I'm officially back from Hawaii. That's like three weeks ago. We are so back. So I would love to go um with our bays. Yes, that would be a great spot, actually. Let's put that in the books.
00:12:10
Think Fresh
Yeah, let's do that. Yeah, you've done a lot since you got back from Hawaii. You you grew an age, a year older, too. And um I hear you you've got a flock, a whole flock of labubus now.
00:12:22
Think Fresh
Is that true? That is right, Ty. I acquired two more LaPoufes for birthday. What's your boo-boo count right now? To my name, i have three. But in the family, i would say...
00:12:35
Think Fresh
north of 15. Oh my God. Yeah. You're hoarding them. I know. Um, yeah, I'm single handedly keeping, ah pop Mart afloat. No kidding. But yeah, i actually got, well, okay. Technically tie. I got one laboo in a sesame bean colorway, um, which is like a nice kind of it's like light gray. I was thinking it'd be like the Italian bread or like a big Mac bun.
00:13:06
Think Fresh
the flatbread um i got another one that is not a labubu it's a ted you know the movie ted i'm familiar with them it's just like a little bear and it's uh really cute and is it also the the fucking stare you just gave me so like horrifying okay so are all the are all of these on your keychain
Toy Collection Antics
00:13:28
Think Fresh
My keychain? No, dude. They're just in a box right now because I'm actually moving soon. Wow, so much in your life has changed. Yeah, they actually just went straight from the gift wrap to a box. um
00:13:38
Think Fresh
So I haven't had time to enjoy them yet. You're imprisoning these labooboos. They want to see the world. I'm sure at night they all kind of exit the box and like run around my house. Yeah, dude this is your toy story. yeah Eric was strangled in the middle of the night. No no suspects. That's right.
00:13:56
Think Fresh
But the ah the Ted one's kind of fun because ah they all look identical, but they all have different outfits. And mine is just like no pants, but it's got a wife beater on.
00:14:08
Think Fresh
And I quite like it because that's like what I wear on like a random Saturday afternoon. So it just feels like it was meant for me. That's like the kind of outfit you wear while you're like making the protein shake after going to the gym. Exactly.
00:14:22
Think Fresh
Or like I'm getting my scoop of creatine in when I wake up. Exactly. Do you start the day with creatine? Yeah. That's cool. Cool. You don't? No, just coffee. I feel like an idiot now. Yeah. I do coffee, three scoops of creatine and, uh, yeah.
00:14:40
Think Fresh
What about an IPA? IPAs are
Restaurant Review: June
00:14:43
Think Fresh
hitting now. Yeah. What time is it? 8.05. eight oh five i b Wow. It's a late one. Holy shit. Yeah. du This is some of the latest recording we've done in a minute.
00:14:52
Think Fresh
Um, Burn in the mid midnight oil, as they say. My dad likes to say that. That's a dad thing. but Dads say that. Dads do say that. um I'll tell you what dads don't say.
00:15:03
Think Fresh
They said, I went to June restaurant and it was quite good. Oh, good. Okay. Yeah, no dad's gone to June ever. a dad-free zone. Did you get the ah trendy, like, giant ravioli? They have this, like, big-ass ravioli noodle there. it's just, like, one big old, like, rectilineal ravioli. Yeah, it's great. bor It's great.
00:15:24
Think Fresh
And um it's great because it's eight rows of three. So you can divide it like many different ways. However you need to. Yeah. Like once you 24 little squares, like you can have almost any number of people at your table and still divide it equally. That's brilliant. Honestly, that's good. A good user experience. I know, yeah. Whoever was like cheffing that up was like thinking about the mathematics of it all. Dude, me and Bae go to Miku last weekend. We order the abiri oysters with truffle. oh Three show up.
00:15:53
Think Fresh
It's like, you know there's only two of us at the table, you idiots. Yeah. I fucking hate when they They ask you, like, do you want to add a fourth for, like, $7 or whatever? Yeah. Aemiku is probably, like, $25. I have no idea. I just tap. Yeah. It's like, do i have a fucking choice, buddy? Okay, it's Valentine's Day. Fuck me, all right? course I can add a fourth.
00:16:17
Think Fresh
Yeah. Is that where you went for Valentine's Day or was this just Tuesday for you? was just an Oshi craving for me. Oh. Yeah. Craving some Oshi? Valentine's Day is extra special. So you mentioned to me the other day you were hitting the fish more often. Was this a salmon oshi? or It was a salmon oshi. I was hitting the fish. I get like cravings. I don't know what to do with them. So I try to go find the best the best sushi I can. you don't know what to do with them. So you just indulge in them. Go spend hundreds of dollars. Yeah.
00:16:42
Think Fresh
Fuck, dude. But anyways, June. Anyways, give me the whole review. What did what did you like? What do you not like? You said it kind of low key hit. Fucking slap. Oh, great. Love to hear it. So June is owned by the Kiefer.
00:16:53
Think Fresh
Did you know that? I learned that and I was shocked. Yeah. The kefir isn't known for their food. Real heads know the food at kefir. No way. Yeah.
00:17:04
Think Fresh
Do you know the food at kefir? Yeah. I guess you used to live near it. Yeah. So the kefir, kefir bar over on kefir street in Vancouver, Chinatown, um, i don't know if they still do it actually, but I've gone on like random nights where they'll have like a musician playing there.
00:17:21
Think Fresh
And, or, I'm sorry, it's not the musician night. It's another kind of night where they're like experimenting with different cocktails and they'll have like a bunch of random mixologists there.
00:17:32
Think Fresh
Gotcha. And then what? They do like a smash burger pairing? Cool. great. Sounds delicious. You nailed it. Like, they'll just come by with, like, random fucking, like, tacos and being like, would you like a taco?
00:17:46
Think Fresh
Would you like this brioche? Would you like this um dumpling? They'll come by with food randomly. Just like a small bite. Like a canapé. Exactly, yeah. A mousse bouche. How amusing.
00:17:59
Think Fresh
Okay. So they've been dabbling in small plate for a long time. So... Getting into a Big Plate is a natural progression. I had no idea they even had a kitchen there.
00:18:09
Think Fresh
But they knew. So this was like seven years ago I experienced this. Long con. Long con. But you know what? The food at June was awesome.
00:18:20
Think Fresh
And they had a DJ. It was just a DJ playing lo-fi hip-hop all night long. That's awesome. dude More restaurants need DJs. There's a listening lounge in the basement.
00:18:31
Think Fresh
I heard. You actually heard it or you just heard the rumor? I've heard of it. um Yeah, you can um you can go down there, but I think it's like a separate wait list.
00:18:43
Think Fresh
like I think if you have a table at June, you don't automatically get to go there. I think it's like two businesses that are like sharing one strata lot. That totally makes sense. you know It's hard to make a go of it these days. You've got to rent out the basement totally to a slightly lesser business. Yeah, we call that a mortgage helper in the business. Exactly. Some poor sap thinks they can open a listening lounge. In this economy, you're fucking nuts, dude.
00:19:09
Think Fresh
You're nuts. um But yeah, it's called what? Sorry. I thought I had it and I just threw it to you. Is it called what? Or is that question? it's a question for you. oh Do you know what it's called? I can't remember off the top of noggin.
00:19:22
Think Fresh
That's fine. There's nothing in this noggin. I'll tell you what I ordered at June. Hit me. I ordered the beer. ordered a lager. ordered a lager. ah Strong start, honestly. Like, no notes. Oh, dude.
00:19:37
Think Fresh
Fucking great start. Yeah. I got there at 5.30. was like, i need a fucking beer.
00:19:44
Think Fresh
okay the early res you need a beer to start oh dude maybe two you're not hitting the martini at five o'clock no hell no that's the 8 p.m rezo yeah um i actually moved into the martini after beer which was a great dirty style classic uh just like the fries at in and out i went animal style with the morning yeah brian on that like Okay, so I asked you about the food. So far, you've only told me about beverages.
00:20:13
Think Fresh
That's more important, to be honest. You're right. yeah um Okay, food. What do we have? The Hammond. Big-ass ravioli. Yeah, big-ass ravioli. It's called pasta for Rachel. That's what what it's called on the menu. I said, who's Rachel?
00:20:28
Think Fresh
Didn't have an answer for me. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. It could be any of them. so um We had the ham and cheese croquettes.
00:20:41
Think Fresh
Oh, cool. um Yeah, very cool. Fried eggplant. Okay. Yeah. ah What else? We had two burgers. It was four of us, so we split two burgers. You had half a handheld. That's right.
00:20:55
Think Fresh
um It's funny because it came out by itself. like We had the starters. um Wait, there's one more thing in there. Some kind salad, I think. You're the one to talk. Okay. What I'm hearing is a lot of elevated finger food. And then they'll just throw some leafy greens in the mix. It just doesn't gel well with the rest of the place.
00:21:19
Think Fresh
That's true. Very ah tough criticism over here. Sorry. What was I saying? ah you were ordering is this how you ordered to rachel or whatever whoa you think rachel was the server shit it's possible i wonder if rachel was like an og keifer staff member that's probably what it is that's possible a lot of rachel types work the kaff keifer kaffer the kaffer yeah um and just in the service industry they're all rachels yeah fuck what was i saying
00:21:52
Think Fresh
Oh, the burger. The burger. It was like a guitar solo in the middle of dinner. Like the music was? or the The food was of guitar solo. Okay. Like think about it. Like we got like couple starters going at the same time. Simultaneous. Right? Two at a time. Three at a time.
00:22:10
Think Fresh
And then that all gets cleared. Burger. Just by itself. Times two. And everyone just stops talking and gets into the handhelds at the same time. You got ah there got the secret sauce dripping down the hand. It was almost choreographed. apkin I get that. You got to create space for a meal like that. Dude, a burger needs some breathing room. It does. When they serve a burger on a plate with no sides, kind of like that. Yeah, dude. It was just like, it's kind of like a Krabby Patty when it's like glowing. You know that scene in SpongeBob? Definitely. It's like that. It was like nothing else in the foreground. was just white space and like a perfect burger cut in half. And it was unreal.
00:22:50
Think Fresh
And everyone just stopped talking and ate the burger. And then once the burger was done, everyone just kind of debriefed like, wow, that was a great burger. And then after that, they take the plates away. Steak frites arrives. Oh, nice. Yeah.
00:23:03
Think Fresh
Not only did we get steak frites, but we upgraded the frites to truffle frites. Real truffle? Were they shaving it? Oh, big shavings on that motherfucker. Oh, nice. Okay. Hell yeah. Yeah. This ain't no Cactus Club truffle fries. You're not getting the simulated truffle fragrance. Oh.
00:23:18
Think Fresh
Nope. um And then, oh, it came with like a cream dip. So good, bro. Nice. And that was it. Well, I want to try this spot, dude. It's been on my chum bucket list for a while to try that burger. Nice. Yeah, the burger's really good. Would you like eat the beef? Probably not. I would smell it though. I'm sure it smells great. and that's yeah kind of the same thing. You know, that's like soaking, but for food. Yeah. Would you lick it?
00:23:48
Think Fresh
Maybe I would like it. I don't like it. have a little bit of the burger fell in my mouth. I wouldn't Yeah, because soaking you would have to put it in your mouth and just spit it out That should be allowed. Hey, that is literally soaking it for vegans. Yeah, I think so smart actually why shouldn't if you're not swallowing it, it's not really eating But is I guess the problem like isn't digesting it. It's like it being made in the first place whos Who are you to say what the problem is? I'm just observing. I'm an outsider. and I'll be the first to admit that. I'm just you know from the outside looking in. you know' I haven't eaten a burger in like six or seven years. almost shit Eight years. I call it bullshit, actually. I don't know what the problem is.
00:24:29
Think Fresh
I'm still figuring it out oh with the burgers. They seem great. They smell There's no problem with it. That's the thing. It smells so good. They smell amazing. And I'm going to call bullshit. I'm pretty sure you've gotten drunk and had a burger in the last three years. i actually haven't. Maybe I've accidentally had a bite.
00:24:45
Think Fresh
even a hot dog? Not even a hot dog. One time, actually, A&W served me a real beef burger in lieu of a Beyond. That's what I was thinking here And I ate two bites of it and then i realized it. And then I felt uncomfortable with myself. and i did That would do that would like really piss me off if that happened to me.
00:25:05
Think Fresh
You know why they did it? It was the last burger serving before close. I rolled up to the drive-thru a little too late. So I think they just threw me whatever they had pre-made and said like, fuck this guy. He can't even come back and complain because we're closed.
Celebrity Meals and Missed Opportunities
00:25:19
Think Fresh
It's like, buddy, you can have the beef or you can wait 20 minutes for to defrost the veggie one. Maybe they were doing me a favor.
00:25:26
Think Fresh
Yeah. um Speaking of burgers, the OVO. Yeah, dude. Drop the new afters meal. the the for For the night owls. Night owl sound, sound, sound. sound who So, okay.
00:25:45
Think Fresh
The Drizzy Drake Happy Meal. What have we got in here? We got a sprite. Yeah. There's some sprite in here. Yeah, it's called a night sprite, which is blue.
00:25:56
Think Fresh
well so i have no idea what the fuck is in the sprite, but it's blue. Neon blue. Yeah. That's cool. I've been to that. Yeah. Does Sprite even do flavors or is it just Sprite?
00:26:08
Think Fresh
It's probably just Sprite. I don't think they have a derivative kind of flavor. They don't have like a cherry line or anything. I don't think so either. um and The Sprite diffusion line. Yeah. I can see it.

I can see there being like a one with like lemon. Like there's lemon on the packaging, right? I think there's lemon just in like the OG. Like maybe there's some with like extra lemon or less lemon.
00:26:31
Think Fresh
Can I get Sprite zero? Yeah, exactly. Citrus free. Okay. I also know that there's a Poutine in there. That's right. Extra gravy, extra cheese curd.
00:26:42
Think Fresh
Yeah. Which is true to Drizzy's Roots. And the Canadiana theme of this podcast episode. That's right. And that's all I know. What else is in there?
00:26:53
Think Fresh
um I think there's two options. There is ah a junior chicken and there's a McDouble. And this is how you know that Drake was like a Canadian mute.
00:27:06
Think Fresh
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because like all of us were ordering McDoubles and Junior Chickens at 2 in the morning. McGangbang, eh? Yeah. yeah's Oh, dude, 100%. Every night. so Well, not every night, but every night out. I remember the first time hearing about that and then watching my friend order it and eat it and thinking, what's wrong with this fucking guy? And then once you have it, you never go back.
00:27:30
Think Fresh
Yeah. I mean, it's just like such a staple here in Canada, those two options plus a poutine. Like if you're 19 and you're hitting the clubs, there's there's like 120% chance you're getting that exact meal, whether it's OVO or not afterwards.
00:27:46
Think Fresh
Exactly. So like just, you're going to order your regular and then the McDonald's frontline staff is going to say, oh, you mean the OVO order? Yeah. ov order the ov order and you're gonna say sure bet and i think this is gonna really resonate with gen alpha because they're just getting into club culture right now you know they just went to their first underground thing they're like they're what they're watching the boiler room sets on youtube now like our time has passed yeah yeah there's a big gap in the nightlife you know it's like the covid generation just kind of never happened and then now we're uh
00:28:22
Think Fresh
Now that things are normal again, we have like people who are just turning 19. They're actually hitting the clubs, I think. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, this is an exciting time for McDonald's.
00:28:33
Think Fresh
This is big. This is big. like Big Mac. ah I don't think we're going to see this level of engagement with fast food since Trabby Patty. Oh, that's right. That fueled multiple episodes. Oh,
00:28:50
Think Fresh
You know what fucking grinds my my ah sesame seeds, Ty? Yeah, what's grinding your jaw? What's bone smashing me right now, Ty, is the fact that Subway is just not doing anything, bro, with anybody. Yeah, stop collaborating with Scotty Barnes and pick someone relevant. But like, sure, have fucking Scotty holding the footlong up on your posters. But like, we want to have the s Scotty footlong.
00:29:19
Think Fresh
We want to have the Travi footlong. We want to have the Drake footlong. You're right. You know, there's no like order that comes with these collaborations. It's just like an appearance. It's like five k for the walkthrough, you know.
00:29:32
Think Fresh
You're right. They're not actually like co-creating with the brand. Like let them cook a little. Yeah. The whole point is like, it's like Scotty's way, you know? What is Scotty's way? They still haven't told us. He's been a spokesperson for years and we still don't know Scotty's order.
00:29:47
Think Fresh
It's just so sad. It is sad. It's kind of pathetic. I think it's because they're i think Subway's scared. Ever since Vogel, they're scared, Eric, of getting too close to any one person, learning too much about them because they're scared of the skeletons that they'll uncover. Especially celebrities. Especially celebrities. Mm-hmm.
00:30:04
Think Fresh
Well, good thing good thing that they never did anything with Pusha because he's in the files. That's crazy. That's so crazy. That's fucking crazy. ah Can we like name like one person of note person of color preferentially who can create sandwich from who can just be like a ah collaboration dude i think subway should work with kanye and i'll tell you why he's already down bad he can only go up from here um it would give like buying low yeah exactly subway has an edge then and i think both parties would love to co-create i think so too
00:30:47
Think Fresh
I think so ah Kanye is probably like getting somebody delivered like once a week. like No one else is working with him. The only person that's worked with Kanye in the last like five years is the other tie. There's only two ties that'll work with this guy. Me and Dalla Sainz.
00:31:03
Think Fresh
And I think they've had a falling out as well. Yeah, yeah. So the lobsters are limited. and I feel like Subway could jump on this and really help. ah Like they're at an all-time low too. Like both brands need resurrection. They can work together. They've got literally nothing to lose.
00:31:18
Think Fresh
Yeah, I totally agree. I think iing Kanye is the perfect a collaborator for this. I agree. With my initial statement. Nevermind.
00:31:29
Think Fresh
ah We're at 30 minutes. Should we save? we have so much meat. So much meat here in front of me. um i don't know. Do you want to talk about anything else? I think we should call it here. Save it for another day. Sounds great.
00:31:42
Think Fresh
Keep all the engines are running. Quit at a high RPM. That's right. Cut the engine off on the highway. so Brett has, we're going into neutral now. Okay. it's Nice talking to you and catch you next time.
00:31:55
Think Fresh
Ciao. Ciao.
