Recording in the Park
00:00:50
Think Fresh
Ah, yes, the unforgettable chime of Think Fresh podcast. We are so back. Ty and I are still hanging out at the park here. And we don't plan to leave for the foreseeable future because we have... Dude, not with site like site sites like this around. This is an incredible place to spend time. Talking about the dude juggling a few balls while running.
00:01:10
Think Fresh
Yeah, we just watched a guy jog by us while juggling. His shirt also looks exactly like the uniform he used to wear at Save On Foods. Oh, it does. Yeah, a deli boy over there.
00:01:21
Think Fresh
That's grocery store green right there. That's right. I was slicing meats way before Subway had slicers. Pre-sliced. Pre-sliced, baby. I'm sorry to interrupt that wonderful intro you were doing for us. just I had to, though. like You don't see that every day. You really don't. We never see that, and we never see it during a podcast. That's for sure. It's Live on air.
00:01:41
Think Fresh
Yeah. Although we could have used our better judgment to record this episode like five minutes later after this train passes. Oh, yeah. That is ah nails on a chalkboard or train wheels on a train track. They really did oil that shit down, playboy. Yeah.
00:01:55
Think Fresh
Yeah, they got to get that train Mike's way. Yeah. ah The conductor could conduct a little better is all I got to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yes, we're still Parkside. We're sipping beers. We're hanging out.
00:02:09
Think Fresh
We're... Ty's still sipping the same beer from from last week. Isn't that wild? If you want a little more, I can pour some in your can. I feel like you're probably dry right now, hey? No, but I'm going to keep hazing you.
00:02:21
Think Fresh
Oh, you're going to make me feel bad? Dude. It's 500 milliliters. That's a big beer. That's not a normal beer. That's half your stomach, dude. This guy can bench eight times his body weight in beer and it's really remarkable.
00:02:35
Think Fresh
It's ah a marathon, not a
Fyre Fest and LimeWire
00:02:37
Think Fresh
sprint. Yeah. I don't know, Ty, I think it's more of and a nursing than anything because you're ah you've ah you're a nurse at this point. At this point, I am. I am nursing this sphere and I am... and yeah But you know what nursing encourages?
00:02:53
Think Fresh
Just like good health, like good growth. And that's what I'm going to get out of this. It's a lot of growth. Okay. I'm talking about the episode. I'm going to learn a lot today. okay. Because you have and a robust topic plan for us, I hear.
00:03:05
Think Fresh
Fuck you. if I do. I do as well. I have a lot to talk to you about. I actually do have a few topics as well. And I would say that they're mostly filled with hate. They're kind of hate topics.
00:03:16
Think Fresh
Well, I have a love topic, if you don't mind. and Let's start off with love. yeah okay Love is actually a bit of a stretch, but it's an interesting news. I heard a rumor the other day, Eric, that... Are you familiar with Firefest?
00:03:28
Think Fresh
ah Yeah, the Bahamian... Festival. Bahamian. Is that what they call Bahamian. Bahamian. Is that where Bohemian comes from? Maybe. How do you say, like, what is someone from the Bahamas called?
00:03:42
Think Fresh
Bahamese? Bahamese? Bahumi? It sounds like a Dr. Seuss word no matter how you how you spin it. Totally. So anyways, Fyre Fest, is it coming back for season two? I actually think that Fyre Fest didn't happen in the Bahamas. It happened yeah on like like a drug lord's island.
00:04:01
Think Fresh
Doesn't that sound right? Like a cartel member's like ex-criminals Epstein Island vibes. I don't remember. It does give off that vibe because we all know Jeruel would not pay the lease on a real island yeah they would just kind of you know send in a favor yeah yeah they're uh they're borrowing it yeah they got it on tarot yeah uh they just booked an airbnb so yeah firefest 2 was a thing for a little bit and then it wasn't and then i just read online the other day that allegedly the defunct f firefest has been purchased by the defunct lime wire did you hear about this
00:04:43
Think Fresh
No, I did not hear about this. But what does that even mean to buy Fyre Fest? It didn't happen. I guess like you're buying the the rights to the brand. the There's brand equity there for sure. Notorious equity, but also LimeWire is a little notorious too. So there's kind of an interesting Venn diagram.
00:04:59
Think Fresh
Yeah. They both love music and breaking the law. Yeah, no, that's very good point. Yeah. I mean, I wonder if they got it at just like a severe discount where it's like cheap enough or to do it for the lull and kind of too cheap to pass up.
00:05:13
Think Fresh
Right? Right. It was a meme purchase. It was a meme purchase. Yeah. Totally. Kind of like every sandwich I've ever ordered. Exactly. Just for the bit. Yeah. Whenever you order sandwich for this podcast, it's something you regret.
00:05:26
Think Fresh
Starts with a bit and ends with a bite. Yeah. Except for the cucumber. Let's just be clear. Yeah. That was a bit that proved successful. So that's what makes it all worth it at the end of the day. It's like you eat a lot of slop ah and AI slop artist in... You're the acronym guy. AI slop.
00:05:48
Think Fresh
Artist in... m in artist artist in
00:06:01
Think Fresh
artist in let's just fast forward here we'll move on fire fest yeah i eat a lot of sandwiches that are sloppy and then every once in a while you find a diamond in the rough or in our case a cucumber sandwich in the bell pepper bucket.
00:06:20
Think Fresh
Or in our case, the fingernail and in the stuff. A little crunch. Is that a bone? Kind of. Yeah, so LimeWire has... Did you use LimeWire back in the day? i loved LimeWire. You're a limey guy. i would sit at my parents' house on the desktop computer and download songs that looked like they had like good metadata. you know Usually those was that was a good tell if the song was going to be the one you want to listen to. Oh, yeah. If it had the artist's name in the right place, stuff like that.
00:06:52
Think Fresh
um Yeah, great old days, dude. too I would fucking load up the old iPod Nano with all kinds of shit from LimeWire, dude. Yeah, dude. I bring back Torrentine, am I right? Yeah, dude. I feel like LimeWire taught an entire generation how to avoid downloading viruses.
00:07:10
Think Fresh
Like, you just, like, through trial and error, you just learn the common signs of a virus near you.
00:07:17
Think Fresh
Dude, let's talk about... The OG Bear Share. Whoa. I forgot that existed. Holy shit. Yeah, you got to be an old head to know that. Yeah, that that came right before, right? Or it exists at the same time, I guess. It kind of like between Napster and LimeWire, I think. It's that kind of like uncanny valley. And then yeah you got U-Torrent after that. And like that's when like I was ah at a really impressionable age age where branding would work on me.
00:07:42
Think Fresh
So like the bear was like, there's no way I'm getting a virus from the bear. The bear would never hurt you. No, dude. The bear loves you. Yeah, exactly. The bear just wants to give you good songs. Yeah, exactly. The bear cares about your developing taste. Mm-hmm.
00:07:56
Think Fresh
Um, then you're just like, thank you, Bear, for supplying me with all of Sean Paul's discography. Wow. Good old times. Good times. Yeah. So LimeWire, who I don't even know how they could buy FireFest because LimeWire doesn't make any money. that That's their whole thing is nobody is making money. You know?
00:08:15
Think Fresh
yeah that's a good point. Like a decade ago, their concept was nobody makes money. And now now they're making money. Have enough money? Where did they get the money? I have idea. It doesn't make any sense.
00:08:27
Think Fresh
I mean, we could just be very misinformed here, but like is LimeWire doing something outside of the illegal business of torrenting songs? Are you suggesting they have other illegal enterprises or perhaps an actual, like maybe LimeWire owns another brand or business?
00:08:44
Think Fresh
Yeah, I mean, it could be legal or illegal, but what is LimeWire doing where they're collecting checks, you know? Yeah. Because like I never paid to you download a...
00:08:56
Think Fresh
some songs by Kanye West. That's true. And I still haven't, but maybe they just saved up like 18 years of EI. That's enough to buy Fyre Fest at this point. Yeah, true.
00:09:09
Think Fresh
That's true. Or just they took all of our data. Maybe that's it too. Oh, that's possible. Selling data or ads. they They probably had ads. Oh, they had tons of ads. And it was always for like single women near you.
00:09:22
Think Fresh
Yeah. Very desperate. I swear this one pill is going to fix your life. Yeah, you wouldn't believe the breast sizes on these desperate women. Unfathomable. Okay, so we've cracked the code. yeah yeah It was just an ad thing.
00:09:36
Think Fresh
Yeah, totally. We had bunch of money off porn ads and then they saved that money in a low interest, low risk investment account for two decades until they made their next move, which is Fyre Festival.
00:09:50
Think Fresh
Yeah, they made a very modest 7% per year on compound interest. And, you know, 15 years later, here we are. They've purchased the cheapest festival Earth. It's it's a an entry festival, you know, like first home kind of thing. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you're just getting into the market.
00:10:08
Think Fresh
So, OK, so this presents an interesting question, Ty.
Music Festivals and Collaborations
00:10:11
Think Fresh
Do you think like. um people are going to be, if, say, like, Fyre Fest 2 becomes a thing and they create a music festival, do you think people will be interested in enough in that where they obviously know that the first one was a bust, but they're going to go for the lulls?
00:10:27
Think Fresh
It's like, yeah, I went to Fyre Fest, but I went to the second one. The LimeWire one. Do you think that's possible? I think that they'll have no problem attracting customers. I think LimeWire's problem is going to be attracting musicians to perform.
00:10:42
Think Fresh
Because they kind of have a history of taking money from musicians. So if you were a Ja Rule and you're going headline, do you really think LimeWire is going to pay you for that?
00:10:53
Think Fresh
Do you really think they're going to uphold their side of the bargain? Well, I think it's a chicken or egg situation, Ty, because we need some ticket purchases first. Right. right like As soon as the actual interest is there. I'm sure like the artist contract includes a clause where they have to maintain a certain amount of ticket sales first.
00:11:12
Think Fresh
Right? Like, it's like, yeah, Arcade Fire is going to perform, but we got to get 10,000 in those seats. know what I mean? I get that. It's chicken and the egg. It's headphone in the ear, if you will. You can't have a headphone without an ear. It's cheese sandwich in the to-go container. Exactly.
00:11:27
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's a good point. um I'm not sure then if this is ever going to be a thing. It's a tough time to be a music festival. like Coachella lineup dropped last week. Really? yeah Yeah, it did.
00:11:40
Think Fresh
Dude, I'm pretty sure that BlackRock owns Coachella. like If LimeWire has Fyre Fest, then you know that like yeah for sure big equity big private equities got their slimy hands in Coachella. There's no doubt about it.
00:11:52
Think Fresh
Yeah, no, I actually believe that. So any notable instances on the Coachella lineup or is it just further and further down the sinkhole? It depends on your taste, my friend.
00:12:04
Think Fresh
If you like a tried and true pop classics like Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber, you're in for a great weekend. Oh, good and those are your headlining ass. And honestly, Bieber's music this year has been awesome. It's so good.
00:12:17
Think Fresh
I don't know if you listen to Swag or Swag 2. Definitely not. Both were really well done. Really? Yeah. And I'll tell you why. He hopped in the stew with both Dijon and McGee, who are like the guys in music right now, as you know.
00:12:35
Think Fresh
Guy and Dijon? It sounds like a sandwich you'd make for me. It sounds like like the actual... Eric just about fell off his chair after that comment. ah Dijon and Guy, that's like actually Daft Punk's real names.
00:12:51
Think Fresh
Damn, wow. But, uh, yeah. It's also the names of two condiments. Is it? I guess so, yeah. Dijon mustard and ghee. You like ghee. love me some ghee. Yeah, get the rest of that oil out of that butter.
00:13:02
Think Fresh
Or the butter out of the oil. don't remember. don't the fuck ghee is, but I knew you would know what it is and have it on occasion. Yeah, it's kind of like, uh, apathite, apathite for butter, where you separate oil. Uh-huh.
00:13:14
Think Fresh
You're segregating the oil and the fat. So you Rosa Parks did. Yeah, apartheid. That was the word. Gotcha, okay. ah um And then you eat one of the two. But I don't know which one because I don't eat a lot of ghee.
00:13:25
Think Fresh
The oil and the fat, you said? but wait. The oil is the fat. the liquid part and then the chunky part. So the milky part. Yeah, the milky part. And how do you make this? You just kind of let it sit in the sun? I think there's like a boiling process that you run the butter through.
00:13:42
Think Fresh
I want to say it's the... milky part that's my guess i know it's 50 50 but i think for people to uh get all health crazy on it i think it would probably the uh oil less part i would agree yeah dude a lot more versatile too because now you got a spreadable yeah you're looking this up right now what is what is gee a type of Clarified butter, originating from India, dude.
00:14:08
Think Fresh
That makes sense. They're doing some wild shit with food over there. They're doing some wild shit, that's for sure. It is commonly used for cooking as a traditional medicine. Really? Butter? Yeah.
00:14:20
Think Fresh
Dude, i got you gotta to try ghee chicken. It's like way better. Yeah, I know. Okay. Ghee is a clarified butter made by separating butter fat from the milk solids and water in butter.
00:14:33
Think Fresh
but doesn't say which one you're eating. So you're just kind of having like a stronger butter. You're just, you're just densifying it. Huh. Or maybe you're not. I don't know. do The only kind of way i would freak butter is having the lobster butter at Joe Ford. Oh, fuck. Yeah, dude.
00:14:50
Think Fresh
Thank you tying this back. Cause like we usually end up in these conundrums on think fresh podcast where we start talking about something we know nothing about and have no information to kind of supplement with. What do you mean? Usually.
00:15:03
Think Fresh
frequently always okay yeah so lobster oil not butter ah which is that different takes i think people would butterify that typically so joe's doing it different he's not your average joe no definitely not he's uh yeah it looks like chili oil but it's actually lobster oil that's awesome it's fucking awesome dude that is such a cool move But yeah, so Justin Bieber has been collaborating with those two artists.
00:15:27
Think Fresh
Both are great. i love both their sound. And because of that, his new music has like a really impressionable like sound because of them. It's Bieber?
00:15:38
Think Fresh
Bieber, yeah. It like sounds like a McGee guitar riff in every single song. And then he like follows like kind of the vocal rhythms that have a typical Dijon track. It's sick. It's so awesome. So run a back, dude.
00:15:50
Think Fresh
umve been I've been listening to at home. Mm-hmm. I think we we should get more kind of food name artists together. You know? like ah Like, what if ah you know Daniel Caesar and Dijon had a nice little track? I think that'd be i delicious with taste a if Taylor did a tasty thing. yeah Yeah, that's a good point.
00:16:09
Think Fresh
um There's probably a lot of food musicians out there. We should make, i think, Fresh meate like like Music Festival, and it's only food musicians. Saw Baby Breadhead would be the track number one, obviously. Whoa.
00:16:21
Think Fresh
I feel like ChatGBT could help us with this. Because I can't think of any off the top of my head. Food songs? Musicians named after food.
00:16:32
Think Fresh
I mean, there is a famous Tyler the Creator freestyle where he's like ham, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, or whatever. Dude, have we not talked about that in all these years? Okay, let's look up what the exact ingredients were. Okay, while you're pulling that up, red hot chili peppers, smashing pumpkins, meatloaf,
00:16:49
Think Fresh
corn, black-eyed peas, marshmallow. We got spoon. We got the cranberries. We got bare-naked ladies. That's not food.
00:17:00
Think Fresh
Wait a minute, chat. Why are they talking... Oh, because they mentioned Kraft Dinner in their song, If Had a Million Dollars. I'm not eating a bare naked. I guess some people might be eating it bare naked. I've talked myself into a corner while you're researching this stuff. I appreciate you holding down the fort here.
00:17:19
Think Fresh
But I found the chorus from this freestyle tie. Okay, what's Tyler about to say? Tyler Crater and Earl Sweatshirt. Sandwich, bread, lettuce, cheese, tomato, mustard, bread, crumble. Sandwich, lettuce, cheese, tomato, ketchup, mustard,
00:17:33
Think Fresh
sandwich, lettuce, cheese, tomato, mustard, crumble, bread, bread, crumble, bread, crumble. What's the crumble? I don't know. It was a free, it's a freestyle. It's not supposed to make sense.
00:17:44
Think Fresh
It's provocative. If it's a freestyle, why is it written down on rap genius? yes Well, because they did it backwards. time I see. Um, what do we think about that sandwich? Like, would you eat a lettuce, cheese, mustard, tomato, lettuce, bread, crumble sandwich? Dude, that's ah
00:18:02
Think Fresh
Okay, the crumble's still throwing me, but yes, absolutely. That's like the ultimate backyard sandwich. Yeah, I mean, it's all-time classic. Chips on the side. Oh. Yeah, dude. Paper plate.
00:18:13
Think Fresh
Yes, dude. That's what I'm talking about. Hell, yeah. Fuck, dude. That's awesome. That's a good sandwich. They don't mention the type of meats in there, though, and so you are you got to assume that it's a veggie delight.
00:18:24
Think Fresh
You've got to. It sounds delightful. Oh, that's for sure. It's yeah. i I wouldn't be surprised if the odd future bunch went fully vegan. They're kind of a goofy crew. yeah Earl, Earl sweatshirt strikes me as a intermittent fasting kind of guy. Yeah, dude. They don't call him Earl meat sweats.
Maple Ridge and Local Critiques
00:18:41
Think Fresh
That's for sure. ah Well, OK, now what we talk about? I had some more topics for you.
00:18:48
Think Fresh
How long have we been even on mic for? We're on for 18 minutes and counting. We've got lots to go. The red light is blinking. and thell where do How do we even get here? Oh, Firefest, LimeWire.
00:18:59
Think Fresh
Is that all we've talked about this episode? Let's get off of that topic. Yeah, let's get out of there. um I want to talk to you about a horrifying brewery experience I had oh over in the ah demented little town in BC called Maple Ridge. Oh, dude, say less.
00:19:12
Think Fresh
You've already terrified me enough just with that sentence alone. Yeah, dude. Um, I've been to Maple Ridge like a few times in the past few weeks, just cause I've been hanging out.
00:19:25
Think Fresh
What dude? No, sorry. I'm choking on my Sapporo. Why did I say something stupid? I'm just, no, you're fine. I'm thinking about the average Maple Ridge resident. And then just imagine a guy with like really, really wide shoulders. Wide shoulders? Just like,
00:19:39
Think Fresh
I'm from Maple Ridge. I think it's more of an inverted triangle. Like skinny shoulders, huge hips. Oh, interesting. Maybe it's both. Fat fucks over there in Maple Ridge. You're not getting normal body proportions out there.
00:19:52
Think Fresh
Dude, the average fucking body percentage over there in Maple Ridge is pushing fucking triple digits. These people are 100% fat, dude. Yeah. yeah um Putting the B in BMI. Dude, yeah. They're the B&Ts of Maple Ridge for sure. Yeah. Big meaty fucking residents. don't know. Yeah, BMRs.
00:20:11
Think Fresh
um Anyways, dude, fucking Maple Ridge, dude. Don't go there. It sucks. I try not to. It's too far east from the urban paradise of Vancouver. It's far east.
00:20:21
Think Fresh
um They got fucking nice lakes and rivers, which sucks because that means I got to go to Maple Ridge. The worst people get the best amenities. That's usually how it goes. Nobody wants to colonize that land, so it's left up to the retards and rejects. Whoa.
00:20:37
Think Fresh
Damn. ah the And i'm this is a fact, ti I'm not making any of this up. these are This is a proven fact. Tell me more. um Isn't one of the biggest prisons located Mission or in Maple Ridge? You're right. There's a lot criminals out there. A lot of criminals out there.
00:20:55
Think Fresh
lot of... ah ah murderers and rapists. There's a lot of bad stuff happening out there and that's why we don't go there unless you need to take a hike or go touch grass.
00:21:09
Think Fresh
touch water. Way than river. Yeah. If you want to float down a river and get shot at Maple Ridge is your place. it's a you can't, um in the urban world we live in, you can't float down a river anymore because you're either floating in sludge in the middle of a city or floating next to a like an actual serial murderer's acreage.
00:21:29
Think Fresh
Yeah. Well, here's the thing, Ty. There actually think, i think a don't it's called, but it's when you like can't get your girl pregnant and um yeah and you have like a lot of sperm kind of donation happening or like those like IVF treatments, right?
00:21:52
Think Fresh
So you get a lot of... There's a sterile population there. There's a lot of sperm in these areas, right? So the the thing is, Ty, is these places, they're not legally allowed to implant a...
00:22:07
Think Fresh
sperm in your girl if it's like if it has like some deformities this is a real thing okay wait so i i'm not following this all ties into maple ridge okay okay so maple ridge so far i understand has a high concentration of low quality sperm no oh well okay maybe but that's not what i'm getting at The idea here, Ty, is that this is one of the few places that um you're allowed to, or not allowed to, but it offers this IVF, right?
00:22:36
Think Fresh
Oh, it's an IVF. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So basically it's intravaginal fertilization, I think is the acronym. You're a feminist. That's right. I am an ally, Ty. But the idea here is that you're able to nut in a cup, and then the doctor takes that and selects the best sperm to implant into your girl.
00:22:56
Think Fresh
Wait. And it hopefully it helps them get pregnant if you can't do it naturally, right? Through intercourse. Dude, I've got to know what the assessment process is like. Does he interview each swimmer? i don't get I think there is ah version of that. And obviously, you know, once in a while, yeah, there is a few sperm, a few swimmers out there that can't swim and they're have mental problems, mentally retarded problems. But like, that would mean the doctor made a poor assessment. Like that's, on no, no, they catch those.
00:23:24
Think Fresh
Oh, they catch those. Okay. So there's, this isn't like a medical k malpractice issue. No, no, no, no, no. They, uh, it's actually a very good thing that they prevent this from happening. They prevent those sperms from being fertilized. Right. You know so much. i know a lot about this. And, um,
00:23:38
Think Fresh
So the thing is, Ty, you know what they do with those retarded swimmers? No. They dump them in the Fraser River. in Maple Ridge? In Maple Ridge. To infragnate a fish.
00:23:48
Think Fresh
And that's why you have so many of those kinds of people Maple Ridge. I mean, that is a very loose connection. on the case. I understand your train of thought. I'm on the case, Ty. Those swimmers beach themselves in Maple Ridge and then they grow into full functioning adults that...
00:24:06
Think Fresh
honk their trunks at me while I'm trying to drive to the river.
00:24:12
Think Fresh
awesome um What a beautiful story you just shared for everybody, Eric. I don't know if it's fiction or nonfiction, but I do know that if you're going to survive in a ram river, you've got to be a good swimmer.
00:24:24
Think Fresh
That's right. now Anyways, Ty, I went to a brewery. Yeah, so, okay, you went to a brewery there. that was um Which was exclusively run by these dumped swimmers.
00:24:36
Think Fresh
um all of All of them are under the age of like 20. Youthful. Youthful. So you got some young bucks there. They're not the brightest in the the patch. but Definitely not.
00:24:47
Think Fresh
But they somehow found a job at, it's called The Patch? Yeah, that's right, dude. The Patch fucking brewery. Wow. Over in the middle of but fuck nowhere in Maple Ridge. Don't go there, guys. Dude, it's in a patch. That's a land that nobody wants. Okay. So obviously service.
00:25:02
Think Fresh
Oh, surprise. The service in the middle of nowhere is bad. Okay. But what else why do you not? That was clever. I see what you did there. Why is it particularly avoidable? We'll get this time.
00:25:13
Think Fresh
From the street, it looks like an oasis. You got some big red umbrellas, nice you know lounge seating and some grass. um In the middle of a farm, you got beers flowing. Kids are happy. People are happy.
00:25:26
Think Fresh
You walk up. Half the place is empty. You're like, fuck, I'm going to get seated right away. 30 minute wait. No. 30 minute wait. In the middle of nowhere? Middle of fucking nowhere. None of the seats are taken. Huh.
00:25:39
Think Fresh
So many empty seats. This fucking 18 year old geezer is telling me, oh, sorry, dude, you got to enter the wait list. Oh, dude, he's troll. He's bullying you. Yeah. I was like, I'm not gonna stand for this. Let me sit the fuck over there where it's empty.
00:25:50

I'll be in and out before your reso shows up That's what I said. i was like, listen, I just want a quick pint and get the fuck out of Maple Ridge. Yeah. And he's like, sorry, bro. Can't do anything about it. So if I can't leave, you can't leave. exactly. This is the prison and you're invited. We're criminals.

So anyways, I walk up to the other entrance. So this is the outdoor seating, which obviously is very popular on a nice hot summer day. So I opted to get a beer at the bar.
00:26:15
Think Fresh
Dude, great move. Obviously. Like the move. Go to the bar. And the bar is just like three high top tables, which aren't connected to anything. It's just like random seating. And they're like, oh, yeah, that's our bar. Right. Right. That's like if Cactus Club has a bar.
00:26:29
Think Fresh
Exactly. You're like, no, it fucking isn't. It's a lounge. Yeah, exactly. So we're like, OK, whatever. Let's just fucking have our beer and wait for our table. By the time they finish pouring the beer, get a text or tables ready. So within five minutes, they realize nobody's showing up to these stupid tables. Right, right. We get seated.
00:26:46
Think Fresh
I'm getting worked up, dude. My fucking heart rate is skyrocketing right now. um Anyways, where was I?
00:26:54
Think Fresh
You've left the pseudo bar. You're heading to your pseudo table. That's right. OK, we walk to the table with our glassware. the important point that I'll touch on again later. Sit down at the picnic table. and And our host was like, oh, by the way, there's no glassware actually allowed outside.
00:27:10
Think Fresh
So we're going to walk those cups over to the bar and have them pour into some plastic cups for you. You're getting a demotion. And we said, no, the fuck we're not. We just sat there with our glassware and and finished our beers and let go the fuck out of there. Good call. Good call. I'm not letting some 20 year old tell me to pour it into a plastic cup. Get fucked. to Loser.
00:27:27
Think Fresh
Yeah. No kidding, dude. Like that. I get that. Maybe there's a like a weird PC law, but that shouldn't be your problem. I mean, the reason he gave was that they if you break the glass on the fake grass that they have out there, the turf, then they can't clean it up.
00:27:41
Think Fresh
I said, Well, I'm not going to break it. Yeah. What if you just didn't break? I'm going to break this on your head. you idiot. Get away from me. Damn. So it's not even a law. It's just an inconvenience to them.
00:27:53
Think Fresh
You don't want to be inconvenienced by your presence. Exactly. Because these preteens, they lack critical thinking skills, Ty. And that's the kind of the defining characteristic of Maple Ridge, I would say. Well, at their age, I didn't know how to use a Dyson either. So that's true. yeah so Anyways, I just fucking hate that place and I'll never be back.
00:28:11
Think Fresh
Well, that's awesome. I can't wait to try it. That's my takeaway from like i'm I'm surprised you haven't because you're yeah no you like to try new things. I do. And I've driven past it many times and I have many suburban friends. So one day I will make the pilgrimage to this craft brewery.
00:28:27
Think Fresh
