Cozy Recording Setup
00:00:05
Speaker
Brad heads, welcome to another episode of Think Fresh. It's Friday and we're cooped up, Ty. We are in the coop and by that the recording booth. This booth is special area because we have beanbag chairs underneath our yes!
00:00:26
Speaker
That's right, if you hear a weird noise of like sand rushing, that's that's just the bean bags, don't worry about it.
Iconic Podcast Duos
00:00:34
Speaker
Yeah dude, I call it the bean, I'm begging the bean if you know what I mean, like, here I'll give you a bean bag, shuffle.
00:00:44
Speaker
Does that pick up? Dude, that's like, whatever you just did reminded me of the recent Ice Spice clip I saw. Dude, my dean is in the other room and he's just like, what is going on? Dude, you are the Ice Spice and I'm the central C of this podcast, that's for sure. Whoa, what a dynamic duo. Who's more iconic, Ice Spice and Central C or Lana and Quavo? Oh, I mean, the link up is crazy, Lana and Quavo. And the fact they're making music together too, it's so cool that they can ah both professionally and passionately partner. um Yeah, what is the output of that? Like, have they made anything? I've seen them on stage together a couple times, and I think there may be a song, but I don't know much about it. We we should investigate for this pod. Next episode, Redheads.
00:01:40
Speaker
Stay tuned. Anyways, what did
Drinking Techniques and Patterns
00:01:44
Speaker
we just do? We just came from work, you know, our busy schedule, and we were able to squeeze in two pints of Guinness, went to our local pub, it is Friday of course, and We attempted to split the G. If you're a real breadhead, you know exactly what I'm talking about right now, but i the drink's still out on what that even means and like where on the glass you need to drink to for it to be a successful split.
00:02:13
Speaker
I'm fairly confident in what the answer is here, Eric. I think that the splitting the G of a glass of genus means to drink perfect genus. It's pretty pronounced Jif. Yes. Is perfectly down to like flush with the the line on the end of the G. So and you don't want to over-undershoot it. You want to be a crisp align and perfectly on there perfect x-axis. Got it. Okay um That's almost impossible because it has to be an exact down to the millimeter almost. Mm-hmm or milliliter. Excuse me. Excuse my English my UK English. I'm not saying that anyone can do this. It takes practice. Mmm, right
00:02:56
Speaker
I took three big gulps and I got it just below that line. It was within the total area of the G. um We are, of course, talking about the Guinness logo on the glass. Yeah, we're not finding any other types of G's. That's the only G spot as far as I'm concerned. Facts. Wait, so your take, when you say three big gulps, so yours is, your consumption pattern is binary, like gulp, stop, gulp, stop, gulp, stop. You were able to swallow all of that pause in one sip? Well, mine is very, uh, more like a... raatata butta ah So it's like... blao the bug was good is close So you're doing a rapid fire, like semi-automatic style gulp. Yeah, you're more of a sniper, you know?
00:03:48
Speaker
I think with the big gulps, this might be unconventional, but I think it is actually easier to kind of like gauge how far you have left to go. You know what I mean? And you can kind of like, it's easier to take three exact same gulps than it is to take 17 like, you know, variable size gulps, right? you Are you able to measure that even? Not really, but and in the same way, like you're trying to get three consistent gulps. I'm trying to get 17 consistent gulps. My gulps are just smaller.
00:04:25
Speaker
That sounds like a lot of work, man. Yeah, it does. Maybe I should try that. Just measure three times. Cut once, like I do. Dude, I don't have the throat girth to do three gulps. Okay, great. I can barely handle a foot long at Subway. I mean, all these years of training, you would think that you would be able to handle one by now? No, dude. At this point, I want the sandwich to pre-chew it. That's the only thing I need. Spin in my mouth, Kevin Gates style.
The Mystery of Female Clowns
00:04:49
Speaker
Yeah, Warhol Peck style.
00:04:53
Speaker
A clown spit in his mouth on stage. A clown spit in his mouth? Yeah. Like a... Oh, he's gay. So I was gonna say like a hot female clown. I think because they don't exist. yeah It is a male. Damn. Are there any female clowns? late At all? Like, is any female in clowny? Like, if you go to clown school, is it a 100% male cohort? The only one I can think of is Kamala Harris. She's a bit of a clown.
00:05:20
Speaker
um what about ah what's the What's the girl from the Batman universe? She's kind of a... Catwoman? ah who Who did Lady Gaga play? Batwoman? Lady Gaga. Yeah, I'm talking about Zoe Kravitz. Maybe I'm talking about that's Batwoman. That's what I just said. Catwoman? There's Catwoman and Batwoman. No, no, I'm not thinking about either of those. Or are they are they the same bitch? Hey, you're just unhealing Batwoman. Fellas, is there a difference between Catwoman and Batwoman or is it just the same
00:05:56
Speaker
The same hole. Whoa. Okay. Hard pause here. Uh, this is a, this podcast respects women and the only... It's Friday. The only hole we should be talking about is the hole in women's hearts when men like Eric leave them. What? I don't leave. I don't leave polls unattended. The only hole we should be talking about on this podcast is the hole in the toaster oven where there is no foot long present. Oh no. I was thinking about a donut hole or like a bagel hole. Big old bites, are big old bites made out of donut holes?
00:06:30
Speaker
I think they might be. They've got to put the hole somewhere. du Energy cannot be destroyed or created. It can only be transferred. all Right. It's being displaced. Yeah. So ah with that in mind, the heat of the toaster transfers obviously to the bread. Right. And then where does it go before it hits my mouth? Because I've never actually had a hot sandwich from Subway. Oh, I see. Well, this is, I would say, the biggest contribution to global warming. Oh shit, 44,000 locations all day spewing heat. That's right. If you think about just purely on a location basis, they have so many toasters that are just like creating heat from, from wind power or solar power or whatever way they get their power. They're just transferring that to heat. Right? Damn. so How does the grid work? I don't really know. Where do we get our energy from?
00:07:26
Speaker
Do we burn nuclear energy or something? i Well, we being... I don't personally do it. I don't know who the we is. They them, sorry. They of them does burn nuclear. And then they... I think they put it in the Mariana's trench when they're done. Like deep in the ocean. Oh, no, they're myriad. Right. They clear ah clear that shit out, but... Uh, we, we just went down a rabbit hole. I need to pull, I need to, I need to climb out of this Mariana's trench. So here's what's happening. They toast it, but the sandwich is cool.
Subway's Toasting and Global Warming
00:08:02
Speaker
The heat went somewhere. It went into the atmosphere. It went went into the sandwich. It went into green, to Greenland area. He went to melt the ice caps. Subway is contributing to global warming. Maybe subway is subway's the big petrol of bread. Okay.
00:08:20
Speaker
ah Agree or disagree? Of bread, yes. What about big Wonder Bread? Oh, dude. Actually, that's just probably lab-grown, let's be honest. Wonder Bread is so torched. Dude, I saw a Wonder Bread truck the other day. It had the Wonder Bread branding. You know, you're familiar, right? Colorful circles. The word Wonder, written in a sans-serif. Yes, of course. It just felt kind of watch to me. I was like, why? This should look more magical. We have more magical-looking Branding in 2024 and this brand this bread brand that wants to be called wonder but it just looks like lacks wonder it lack it completely lacks one and it lacks bread too for being gold' No bread and that is Exclusively yoga mats tight. Are you aware of how much power? electricity and heat is required to make a bread and I have no clue. I just buy my bread. I'm not even talking about like making bread in in the monetary sense. I'm talking about literally baking a loaf of bread. That shit's gotta to be preheated to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. No, really? Yeah, dude. That shit is like... Cooking the inside of your apartment on a hot summer day like today, dude and your bay loves cooking bread. So are you cooking? how I know Yeah, I'm cooking too. I might as well be in the oven Wow, so this is why subway bread isn't hot. It's because they're not actually Toasting at the recommended heat the recommended temperature. I bet that subway toasters running at like 200 not 500. This is Celsius. Yeah, okay toasting
00:09:56
Speaker
I'm toasting aside for a second. Baking is what's generating the most heat. And I think, like, think about how much bread is being baked at Subway every day. The retarder is just heating that whole place up. yeah Especially with all that brick to insulate it. Yeah, dude. Dude, Subway is a hotbed. Yeah. For the hot bread. And that's gotta to be going up through the chimney or something contributing to all this global warming we're seeing. Yeah, but that's what's so confusing. There's no chimney.
00:10:26
Speaker
Where's the heat going? It doesn't make any sense. I don't know. They're baking the bread and then they're cooking it again in the toaster and The temperature is just normal in there and my bread is cold. And sometimes the subway is like on the bottom floor of a high rise. So like obviously there's no chimney there. And the heat goes up but there's no heat. Does it just pump into the alleyway? I think it's all performative. I don't think there's any cooking happening. I think the bread comes pre-cooked to subway and when it goes into the chamber to inflate they're actually pumping it with helium which is
00:11:00
Speaker
normal temperature, not hot. Right. Or maybe some other substance, I don't know, i can't I can't really say. Right, right, right, right. So, what you're saying, Ty, and correct me if I'm wrong, you're saying that there is a tiny person living in the toaster. And this person is making a replica replica sub. like when the sub is entering the toaster they're making a replica and then just putting that out so there's no toasting happening but they're uh they're doing something to it and we're here to find out what i don't know if that's quite what i said okay that's really close damn but imagine it's not a little man it's a little bit of chemical combustion
00:11:48
Speaker
You know, like, I don't know. Other things react by inflating when hit with temperature, not temperatures, but other kind of chemical reactions. Like,
The Truth about Microwaves
00:12:00
Speaker
is microwave heat? No, microwave is different. That creates heat, right? so Have we read the bi-microwave? No, I don't. I hate microwaves, but I should know this by now. The breadheads know this, but like has anyone ever purchased a microwave? Don't they just come with your apartment? but you I think feel like you just like buy an apartment before you buy a microwave. If your microwave breaks, you move out. Yeah, exactly. Microwave broke. We gotta move. We gotta go. butt We're not welcome here anymore. Yeah, like who's who's ever purchased one of those things? Breadheads, if you've bought a microwave, sound off in the comments of this episode. We'd love to hear your story. We may even feature it on Think Fresh podcast.
00:12:40
Speaker
oh I did learn about how all microwaves come from the exact same factory in China. oh Yeah, I am a song song very similar. I think it's a Huawei So I'm just gonna pull up the note I took on it, but it's kind of wild. Um, it's really Cheap to manufacture microwaves if you can spread your face across against a ton of units So in Gong Ching, there's a company called media. Are you being racist right now, dude? I Mean doesn't made that place the one no Gong Ching is a real place
00:13:17
Speaker
hop off. So consumer brands, though, have more trust in North America than China. That's racist. So all of these um like American brands buy the parts of like the the same microwave from media and then slap their brand on the front. Yeah, it's really crazy. It's it's not just microwaves that do this, like Hasbro, Mattel, Hallmarkt Toys, they're all made by the same company. Crate and Barrel and IKEA and Target, they all get the same exports from the same furniture company. All sunglasses that have ever existed on Earth, including the ones we're both wearing, all come from a company called Luxotica in China. Not mine, dude. These are bespoke. These are made in Japan. Oh, really? That's right.
00:14:05
Speaker
Well, if you pull the back panel off your microwave, it'll say gong chang. But in your apartment and probably in Subway, unless that shit's proprietary. Well, they brand it it as if it is, but I i suspect, and I have a heavy suspicion, that it's the same exact toaster from, I don't know, some industrial warehouse, and they just slap the the logo on there. Subway, quick toast, or whatever it is. right fat Flash fry.
00:14:39
Speaker
I just feel like that's such an important part of their brand like their brand offering and the quality experience of the sandwich that they would want to control that. but I feel like Subway likes to outsource all of their stuff. you know like The bread comes from a yoga company, and the lettuce comes from a lab, and the toaster comes from Hong Ching. That's right. Shout shout out to Lululemon for all the bread that they make for Subway. Dude, Lululemon's making a lot of bread, but it's not reflecting the sheer price. I'm waiting. Yeah, dude.
00:15:14
Speaker
um Wow. So nothing is really as it seems. Like even the iPhone type made in China, designed in California. We never asked where it was designed. We don't care. We want to know where it's made. Like a brilliant marketing move on their part though, you know? Like, my footlong was also made in China. All the ingredients came from overseas. But designed in this subway location. Isn't that cool? Designed on Main Street. Crazy. Designed live. It's an active, improvised art. Performative art. Wow. Temporary art too. Think about it. It's a pop-up.
00:15:52
Speaker
Is it art tie if only two people ever get to see it? I think so. I think the job of art is to interest the viewer, the consumer of the art. So as long as the two parties find it interesting, then they've created art.
Defining Art
00:16:12
Speaker
If one doesn't find it interesting, only one person made something that's interesting. It's not art, because it' art needs to be shared. But what if the creator hates their job and their life, and you, the patron, are thrilled about what the artist just made?
00:16:28
Speaker
That's still art, even though the artist wants to quit. Yeah, that's a good point. Right? That's not how all the best art artist art was created. like I don't think Michelangelo probably liked doing it. I think he had a gun to his head or a sword to his head back then. Yeah, totally, dude.
00:16:50
Speaker
You know, all the best art in the world is made with a struggling artist. You know what I mean? The troubled artist archetype. You know what I mean? With no pain, we have no beauty. That's right. I need to see my artist cut their own ear off or something. Come on, dude. Take your job seriously. The challenge with the sandwich being art is that both parties are miserable sometimes. It's like that meme of the two guys on the bus looking out different windows. But in this case, both guys are sad and miserable. Right. And in this case, they're looking at each other. And in this case, there's a glass partition filled with vegetables in between them. So
00:17:36
Speaker
I guess you it it's tough because the definition I just came up with implies that both parties need to find the output interesting for them to call it art. But both parties are miserable while making it, which is the pain they suffer, which does create art. So there's actually a discrepancy there. It's both art and not art at the same time. It's troding your sandwich. I see. Ty, serious question.
Birthday Blues
00:18:01
Speaker
When you make a sandwich, are you hungry? Always. Always. When you're hungry, do you get cranky? Yes. Me too. So it's always an angry sound. You always hate making your sandwich. Dude, that's crazy. That is crazy. Ty, what is the angriest you've ever been
00:18:26
Speaker
Oh, man. I don't know if I can even tell the breadheads live on mic. Why not? Were you so angry that you threw your sandwich at the window? I'm not known to throw tantrums. But I am known to hate my birthday. Ah. Mm-hmm. Okay. Mm-hmm. A known birthday denier. That's right. Breadheads.
00:18:54
Speaker
So, Ty was born in a lab there, I said it. No, but every year when my birthday comes and people attempt to celebrate me, I turn into a terrible Grinch that tears down balloons, banners, cancels happy birthdays, walks out of rooms, throws cakes on ground, whatever it takes to get me out of that birthday situation. I am not a ah good sport, I'm a poor loser. A sore loser, as they say. um It took me probably three or four years to learn your birthday. Like you I've known you for seven years now or so, six or seven. And yeah, it took me, like I've learned your birthday less than half of the time I've known you ago. That's beautiful. The longer and the better. Yeah, exactly. um Yeah. So what did you do on your birthday in that one year?
00:19:49
Speaker
Well, I popped some balloons, and I told Pete, yeah, I think I popped a balloon right now. Can you pop that balloon on me? Oh shit. Sorry, redheads. Do you think that'll clip? Yeah. I feel like I just got Trump clip. That was right next to my ear. Yeah, dude. Good thing I turned my head that way because otherwise it would have destroyed my ear. You'd be dead. you'd be dead Yeah, dude. Damn. Yeah. So there was some pop popping. There was just some feet stomping. And how little were you at this point? Or were you a grown man? 29. Damn. Really? That was like a couple of years ago, I feel like. Yeah. I'm an awful kid. Shit.
Heat-Induced Conclusion
00:20:30
Speaker
I don't want to end this prematurely, Eric, but it's smoking hot and I'm tired of sitting in this beanbag chair and I would like to go jump in a lake. Yeah, dude. The ultimate temper tantrum is ending the pod early, so we will do that. Fat. Breadheads. Thank you so much for listening. Tie any closing remarks. Get that bread. Let's get that bread, baby. Happy Friday, breadheads. Ciao. Ciao.
