Speaker
Ding, dong, ding, dong. Ding, motherfucking dong. What is up? What is up, breadheads? Hello, Eric. Welcome to another episode of Thicc Fresh podcast. I'm your host, Ty, and your guest today is my co-host, Eric. Permanent guest. You can't get rid of me.
00:00:22
Speaker
Yeah, you have the same kind of just elusive presences, the stage grip at a late night show. They're there. You're working the room, but where is he? Who is he? My contribution is felt, however, I never really show up on screen, which is same as this show. We never really reveal ourselves.
Drake's Accidental Reveal
00:00:49
Speaker
I can't say the same thing for Drake. Drake has revealed his manhood online mere hours before the launch of this episode. Pretty exciting news break for us, hey?
00:01:07
Speaker
No, this is exciting. Well, okay. So I just think like Drake has always branded himself as the most vulnerable musician. And this is no exception. The man has shown his most, presumably his most vulnerable body part, his little chicken strip, you know? He's showing off his little six inch.
00:01:32
Speaker
Yeah. Well, this is the craziest thing about it is no one says it's a six inch. Everyone's like, damn, dogs got a foot long. Oh, shit. I mean, are we surprised? Hi, I'm a little surprised. Do you think Drake gives off? I think he gives off medium dick energy, you know, just average sized. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I'm not really sure what to use to like estimate. You know what I mean? I can only like.
00:01:59
Speaker
do some self reflection and then just make a guess. You know what I mean? So I don't know what I was expecting for Jake. I'll be honest. It never really crossed my mind. Never crossed my mind either. The only thing I could ever think about was the size of his emotions. That's true. The size of his heart. He never really talks or sings about like blowing girls backs out.
00:02:25
Speaker
He kind of only, he like alludes to it at most. You know what I mean? And he talks about like maybe stealing someone's girl or flying girls out, treating them real nice, which I guess you could say is big dick energy because he has nothing to really convince people of. You know what I mean? He's just kind of like going with it.
00:02:47
Speaker
I saw it more as paternal energy. That's what a poppy does. They take care of your basic needs. They fly you out. They serve you a nice meal, give you a bed to rest in. The only thing I thought Drake had a long.
00:02:59
Speaker
The only long thing Drake had was like a long, long conversationalist, you know, like I thought he was always longing for some, some real love. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's the only long thing that a long ain't happening there.
Media Bias in Hip-Hop News
00:03:15
Speaker
Yeah. So I don't know though. I don't know any of the lore surrounding this leakage.
00:03:20
Speaker
The only leakages I'm familiar with is when some sweet onion sauce squirts out the side of my sandwich. I don't know what's going on here. Was this self-initiated, like a Lily Rose Depp type of nudie leak? Or was this a vigilante duet, perhaps an ex-lover?
00:03:40
Speaker
Wow. So you think it's possible that Drake nutted on himself and then took a selfie and then post that as like the new album art for all the dogs part two? Yeah, for all the little dogs. This one's for all my little dogs.
00:03:59
Speaker
Yeah, dude, some real death grips energy there. It's possible. I don't know. I don't know the lore. I'm curious if you know what's going on here. Like what is TMZ told you? For once in my life, I don't have the answers. That is because I get all my news from academics as listeners of this show know. And academics has been awfully quiet about this on social media. I think because they are like he is kind of like glazing for Drake all the time.
00:04:29
Speaker
which means he's probably not wanting to spread this potential damning information. You know what I mean? It's an important reminder that all news outlets are biased, even Instagram, hip-hop news. Yeah, I 100% agree. I'm also scared to look it up. I don't think I want to find information on this because the Daily Mail will definitely have the uncensored version in the middle of the article.
00:04:59
Speaker
Yeah, definitely, dude. And when they have a privacy leak in a few months, your name is going to be on the list of viewers of that thing. Yeah, dude. It's not good for you. It's not good for Think Fresh. It's not good for anybody. Definitely not. But Think Fresh would be the corporation to post it. Like we don't assume any responsibility for the actions of the corporation. And so therefore we will probably post the blurred version.
00:05:26
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. Think fresh is news network subsidiary. The Daily Meal will be covering that today. The Daily Meat. It's just this one article. Yeah, exactly. Just every day. Same article. Yeah. But speaking of artists potentially, I don't even know what the segue is. I don't know, dude, but Playboy Carti has been seen
00:05:55
Speaker
wearing a body suit. Oh, nice. Like a little bit of action. Yeah, dude, this guy's double cheeked up in the master body suit.
Playboi Carti's Fashion Statement
00:06:05
Speaker
I don't know if you saw this on one of the various opium reposting accounts.
00:06:10
Speaker
I did. I do. This is Playboy Cartes fit the other day as he walked out of the studio with yay, right? And he's got the most absurd fit, like a mesh top with camo body suits and a little thong action in the butt crack. What is going on here? What the hell is going on here? No other, especially not a sandwich artist, no artist could pull that off. Dude, hell no. I wouldn't trust a sandwich artist wearing a thong to make my sandwich.
00:06:36
Speaker
definitely not dude that doesn't that's not gonna stop them from wearing it and it didn't stop playboy either like and honestly I don't I don't really think he's pulling it off to be honest I think the world looks a little messy
00:06:52
Speaker
Dude, Playboy Carti making the next album wearing a thong is the equivalent of our sandwich artist making a sandwich with fingerless gloves. Just getting a little nail in there, you know? Exactly, dude. It's like just showing enough cheek. Tasteful.
00:07:11
Speaker
So the better question is, we've heard some singles from Playboi Carti. Do you think he produced those while thonged up? Or is he like, is that just the first half of the album we got? And now we're venturing into Skims territory. I think he was wearing a thong while he recorded them. Otherwise, you wouldn't get such like abrasive yells. Well, the thing is, though, he got he's he's exploring this like deeper voice now.
00:07:41
Speaker
the music, you know what I mean? Like the baby voice is the thing of the past. And like, in my mind, the thong kind of seems like it would make that kind of music. Like, like, that's the kind of like, like, like, like speaking, like speaking simish, you know? Exactly. Simish.
00:08:06
Speaker
Yeah, dude. So I don't know. I feel like the new music, something's going on over there, dude. He's got some accessories. It has been an identity crisis perhaps or an identity evolution. Either way, I'm sure it will make novel sounds.
00:08:25
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that's for sure. I saw like a reel the other day where somebody was showing their fit like, oh, it's like the outfit of the day type thing. He's going to throw it on and that's what he wears when you go skating, right? Like skateboarding. And it was like a three. It was like three frames where it's like they threw the outfit on the bed and you just see this like butt plug like in there.
00:08:48
Speaker
And then it just cuts away and he's doing like crazy tricks on the skateboard after. I gotta, I gotta find that for you. That's pretty funny. Just sneaking that in there. It's like one frame. You were, you have a very, uh, like vigilant eye, you know, when watching these Instagram posts, you see the, you see the plugs, you see the thongs, like what can't get past you, Eric? Nary a black olive will escape your gaze.
00:09:17
Speaker
or grades. That's right. I've never once, uh, you know, I've never once eaten a foreign object in a sandwich. You know what I mean? I always spot it first. I'm able to pick that out like surgically.
Vision Pro: Marketing or Genuine?
00:09:30
Speaker
Dude, you have to. Otherwise, you're going to get a worm in your sandwich at some point. You got to keep your wits about you every single bite. 100% agree. Dude's got the Vision Pro, but raw. You got natural Vision Pro. That's right, dude. The entire time I met Subway, I have some UI pulled up.
00:09:53
Speaker
Multitasking. What is up with those people who are like multitasking everyday activities with the Vision Pro? Do you think that's, is this a marketing ploy by Apple or are people just finding ways to flex their early adopter status? Dude, I don't think these guys are doing, I don't even think they have the heads up display on. This is entirely performative. This is just tech bros online waving their hands like they're at a like a
00:10:23
Speaker
a concert or something, just for the views online. I don't think they got anything pulled up on that heads up screen and we'll never know, but I watched a guy get out of a cyber truck the other day with his headset on and then just start punching the air. What do you think he's doing? He's playing Street Fighter in there? I don't think so. Yeah, I really don't know. That's the beauty of the vision pro tie. You could be
00:10:48
Speaker
ordering a sandwich in there, you could be watching the POV of someone making a sandwich. You know, you could be doing almost anything in the Vision Pro and nobody around you will know. So it's almost the perfect device to be using in public. Like as stupid as it looks, it's like almost the perfect use case for it.
00:11:10
Speaker
Yeah, definitely you could like my mind immediately goes to like dudes be watching pornography everywhere they're going. But there's probably more like lucrative opportunities than that. I like your sandwich, sandwich themed proposals.
00:11:28
Speaker
I would love to be like at a subway with the vision pro hooked up to my face and I'm ordering a subway sandwich, but it looks like I'm at, I'm like on the streets of Florence in a proper Italian deli and all the, all the meats look good. Then I take the head headset off and I see nothing but gray and Brown. Totally. Oh dude. And why stop there? Like the sandwich itself could also be like a CGI in the headset. You know what I mean? Like you're holding the foot long, but.
00:11:58
Speaker
Maybe it's not a subway foot long that costs eight dollars. You're eating this Michelin-starred perfect Italian sandwich that has like world class ingredients. You know what I mean? So just kind of like, you know, pretend whatever you're looking at is real, then you can have a better lunch.
00:12:18
Speaker
Totally. And you even could like mix up your sandwich artist avatar. You know, it doesn't have to be like braided in the high school or it could be Madison beer or something, you know, just swap it out with insert female crush here. Wow. True. So really Apple's doing us a service with this product. Like this can't possibly have a negative effect in society. It can only be positive. Mm hmm. Exactly. It's going to level up everybody's imagination.
00:12:49
Speaker
imagination, happiness. Like if I don't want to be in a situation, I can just put on the pros and say, I don't want to be podcasting with you. I can be podcasting with Joe Rogan right now. I could be looking at Joe across the, across the zoom. I'm looking at Joe right now. Looking at Joe. Wait, no, I'm looking at Joe. Wow. We're not your average Joe's though. We're a cut above or a premium sandwich meat. Absolutely.
00:13:18
Speaker
But it makes me think, man, the people who are eating together with the Vision Pro on at a restaurant, I need to know, are they on a FaceTime as well? Or what are they possibly doing and why are they sitting together? Do they even know they're sitting together? Maybe they're just complete strangers. You could have a whole meal at a restaurant and not even realize there's people next to you. Yeah.
00:13:43
Speaker
Sorry, my notes app was blocking you. That's how I feel going into the subway. Like blinders are up once. I'm like a competitive horse, you know? I got the blinders on. I only see the sandwich from beginning to end. My eyes do not leave that foot long.
00:14:01
Speaker
So will you be purchasing the Apple Vision Pro V1? 1000%. Wow. I think so. I think I gotta get one of these. I think I gotta get one of these, Eric. And I think you do too. I think you would be foolish for us not to because there's a podcasting opportunity here.
00:14:20
Speaker
Fuck, there really is. Yeah, I don't want to talk to like the zoom image
Starbucks and Absurd Naming
00:14:25
Speaker
of you anymore. I want to talk to like the avatar that they generate for you on FaceTime. I want to see your meta, your metaverse avatar. Absolutely. I won't see you holding this huge black microphone though anymore, which is a shame. It adds certainly like a flare of humor to our goofiness to our overall look. Goofy app pod.
00:14:48
Speaker
But I don't know, dude, I don't think your bitmoji is going to look any more mature. Yeah, I don't think so.
00:14:54
Speaker
but can't you customize that? Can't you like change the lighting? It's all lighting anyway. Good point. Yeah. You could be like on top of a volcano recording a podcast, any liminal space you want. This is, that's actually quite exciting. Like I'm tapping in from the asteroid belt for this episode. Absolutely. Oh man. I'm tapping in from the middle of the Astro world stage. We are live from Astro world.
00:15:22
Speaker
the Yeezus platform or whatever. No, the life of Pablo Tour platform. Yeah, I thought that was weird when Connie brought out his old stage design for like a seven minute guest appearance. Oh, wait, you're talking about Circus Maximus. I didn't see that. Oh, yeah. So you know how Connie came on stage for Travis Scott show the other day and wore like a was he wearing like a hockey mask?
00:15:46
Speaker
Oh, yeah, he's wearing like the Michael Myers like serial killer mask, which is honestly very cool. If you ask me, I'm starting to think that he has some self-esteem issues with his face because he's always covering it up. Hmm. Like, do you think he's self-conscious about his smile or perhaps the shape of his nose? Maybe. But I'm thinking back to like covid days when we all had to wear masks.
00:16:14
Speaker
I felt almost like I was sheltered behind it. I felt like I was in this safe little cocoon where I wouldn't get sick and I felt like nobody could see me weirdly enough. Do you have that feeling at all or am I crazy? No, you're right. It's almost like you were anonymous. No one else existed. You were in the Apple Vision Pro.
00:16:39
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. And I can see why that's super appealing to someone like Kanye who is like super just well known. Like every single person will recognize him no matter where he goes to just be like kind of anonymous for for a minute. It gives you a lot of power, especially when everyone's criticizing what you do at all times. Yeah, it gives you less to criticize if you can actually make eye contact. Exactly. I don't know if you're smiling because the sandwich you ate is good or if you're frowning because the sandwich is bad.
00:17:07
Speaker
Oh, I'm always frowning, Eric. Exactly. Dude, I gotta tell you, like fast food has been letting me down so much lately. That's why I'm always frowning. I, uh, I got, I got to tell you this story. I went into Starbucks the other day, Eric, are you familiar with this coffee chain? Oh dude, I'm all too familiar with the venti caramel macchiato. Yeah, me too. But I would never get a venti. That's far too much fluid. People who get ventis are like,
00:17:36
Speaker
They have nothing left to live for. Like if you think you need that much of any fluid, like my brother in Christ, you just need a glass of water. Like if you're that thirsty, just have a water. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I don't. I'm one of those guys who refuses to use their naming scheme for sizes. Like I always tell them I want a medium and they always kind of just like it takes them a second, which is funny. You know what I mean? It's like, come on, you should know what a medium is.
00:18:04
Speaker
Yeah. This is Starbucks in America. We speak English here. Yeah. Grande. Shut the fuck up. Yuck. Well, I got the smallest size. I believe it's called Chade.
00:18:19
Speaker
A chate latte. Chate latte. It's not a tall? It's a tall, isn't it? Yeah, it's a tall. Yeah. No, that's correct. That doesn't even make sense. Where'd you get chate from? I don't know, dude. I don't speak Italian. No ablo Italiano. Apologies, señor. Tall doesn't make any sense. Yeah, dude, it doesn't make any sense because it's like if somebody called their smallest sandwich the foot long.
00:18:50
Speaker
You know, like, like what if the foot long was half the size of the six inch and the six inch was 12 inches? I wouldn't put subway, put it past them to do that. Actually, if you were to literally adopt a naming scheme of Starbucks, the subway would have the long, the big and the 12. I actually don't mind that. I think that's pretty funny. Because like 12 is like venti, like venti means 20.
00:19:19
Speaker
Is it 20 ounces? Is that what that is? I just clicked right now for me. I never knew what that was. That checks out for me too. You heard it here first listeners, or maybe you already knew that. Yeah. A pint of coffee. Wow. Dude, when you put it that way, that sounds disgusting. A pint of coffee. Horrible.
00:19:39
Speaker
Anyways, you got a proper boy, the proper man. All this discussion about measurement made me realize that like subway would benefit from shrink inflation if they switched away from the inch system because the inch system is observable and truly measurable and they use like something more corporate like
00:19:57
Speaker
I'm going to suggest basis points to describe changes in their sandwich size. Like, Oh no, we just wrote the sandwich a hundred basis points. So it's not that bad. Don't worry about it. They need to invent their own measurement system. If they want to be able to get away with shit like that, like everyone else has like weird reward points and attempts to like disassociate from currency, but subway has stayed true to the inch system to their own demise. Probably. Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:20:27
Speaker
So like at Starbucks, I don't know how it works because I don't use the app, but presumably you can buy coffees with points. Is that kind of what it is? And then like you don't really know what 500 points is worth because
00:20:43
Speaker
like it's just a made up currency. So you were like, Oh yeah, sure. I'll, I'll spend that. I have a hundred thousand points. I'll give you 500. Yeah, it's so confusing. And then we'll give you a grand beverage for that. You're like, what? Jesus Christ. So really it's just the scheme to confuse the customer.
00:21:04
Speaker
Yeah, dude, it's to keep the poor suppressed, I think.
Olive Oil Latte: Worth the Price?
00:21:07
Speaker
Absolutely. And that's how I felt after I went to Starbucks, Eric, because I ordered their newest coffee model. The new model just dropped. It's like got olive oil in it. Have you heard about this? Oh, no. It's an olive oil latte.
00:21:22
Speaker
No, dude, all has been has been sneaking into drinks everywhere lately. And I got to say, I have mixed feelings about it. But tell me what this coffee tastes like. Yeah, dude, it's kind of like martini appropriation. And I honestly, it hit pretty good, like a little bit of cold pressed single origin olive oil in there just like coats the mouth, adds a little bit of a salty and savory kick that you're kind of looking for in a coffee.
00:21:50
Speaker
So I was, I was thoroughly impressed. I thought this is something I could come back for. If I could afford it, Eric, the drink for a tall, which is the smallest, which is shot a cost me $8 and 50 cents for a latte with a shot of olive oil in it. That better be some like single origin shit, you know, extra verge, extra verge. Yeah. Wow. Um, $8 for a small little coffee.
00:22:18
Speaker
I'm sorry to hear that side. That's, that's disturbing, especially because I know that it's not good, dude. I've never been like happy with a Starbucks order, you know? And, and yeah, exactly. And like this coffee I'm saying is great, but that's a great relative to everything else I've ever drank there, which is garbage. It's like, this is like the $8 goes a lot further at a fifth wave coffee shop. You're going to get like,
00:22:40
Speaker
They literally have a cow in the back and they squeeze the milk into your cupboard for $8. Yeah, totally. $8 will get you the featured coffee at Blue Bottle, which is like the limited batch Nicaraguan bean that was hand picked or something.
00:23:01
Speaker
Yeah, dude. And you get to slurp your makiato off out of the barista's belly button for $8. It's a special experience if you're over five bucks like that. Wow. Yeah, you got to choose your barista wisely if you do that, if you opt for the body shot. I hope you got the Apple Vision Pro in that case. Yeah, dude. Swap it out for the Yeezy sushi girl. Mm-hmm, exactly.
00:23:27
Speaker
This California world tastes funny. My brother in Christ, you ate it off a human. Yeah, there's someone's belly button hair on it. Yeah. Nasty. Anyways, when you mentioned martini territory and like, I don't know, stuff in invasive species entering the drinks, I wanted to quickly close the loop on my Jofortes activation. Right.
00:23:56
Speaker
Breadheads will remember, I talked about doing that on Friday, managed to upgrade my outdoor seat to an indoor seat last minute at the check-in table, which was nice. Unfortunately, no room at the world famous bar. But yeah, Ty, upon sitting down, I realized really quickly that this place was dine-out inclusive.
00:24:18
Speaker
That's, that's too bad. I'm so sorry to hear that silence for the dine-out diners for your moment of silence for your Friday night. Yeah, exactly. Um, but crisis was averted though, because I was able to simply put the dine-out menu aside and order from the regular menu, which I did. But, um, one thing that you won't find on the menu tie blue cheese, all is in the martini non existent. Are they an eradicated species?
00:24:46
Speaker
Not on the menu, but they exist, baby. I got them. Oh, secret menu. Very good. Very good. So you have to schmooze with the bartender to acquire these blue cheese stuffed olives. I sure did. I said, let me get a dirty gin martini. And then I was like, do you have any blue cheese olives? And then he smiled and said, of course we do.
00:25:09
Speaker
I love that. I love how you probably leaned in over the bar, your voice looked around like you didn't want anyone to hear. That's what I do at subway. Every time I want to like add a little extra cheese. Yeah, absolutely. It's like we're whispering. It's like our, like it's our dirty little secrets. It's like, you know, the blue cheese, all of their good, right? Same thing with the, you know, double cheese option at subway.
00:25:33
Speaker
Yeah, dude, or like some I always do it when I add a little drizzle of marinara. Like I know I feel like I'm breaking the rules. Very polite about it. Like, would you be so kind as to looks left, looks right. Add a little drizzle of marinara on that. Wow. I'm salivating. Put some Southern charm to do the marinara is a perfect example, a perfect comparison because it's a free change. It doesn't ruin like.
00:26:02
Speaker
the structural integrity of the sandwich. It's really just like you're, it's like one of the sauces, you know, it's one of the boys, but it's a secret sauce. It's a secret sauce. And the other thing though is like, it's not in the like typical playbook of the regular sandwich, just like the blue cheese stuffed olive. So you're only going to get access to it if you can work your artist a little bit, or in this case, the bartender, which you clearly did. So how were they?
00:26:31
Speaker
Oh, dude, fantastic. It's it's just perfect. I don't know what else to say. It adds another element to the drink that is never present usually. Mm hmm. Like you bite down the olive and you just get this like creamy blue cheese hit in the middle of it. And I got to say it's a it's a beautiful add on. I would highly recommend.
00:26:56
Speaker
That sounds really good. Dude, I want to shuck one of those right now. I do. I wonder if Trepino's has them. We'll have to inquire at the bar. It's like, are there any cheese? Or how do you say cheese and Italian?
00:27:13
Speaker
Is that French? Oh, Fromaggio or something. Fromaggio, of course. Of course. Maybe they have blues on. And blue is blue. Probably Jonno stuffed all this. Shit, dude, that would hit. That's like salt on salt. Yeah, dude. Wow. Salty. Yeah, highly recommend for the of drinking age redheads who are willing to try something like that.
00:27:38
Speaker
Well, uh, I love me a nice cheesy winter warmer, you know, like this time of year, get, get like some cheese, some like a stiff drink, some soup, maybe. Do you ever mess with fromage fondue?
00:27:55
Speaker
Do I? I don't know, man. I feel like from Fondue's kind of a boomer treat, you know? Like, they invented the ability to melt food on command. And then they're like, what do we do with this? Like, let's not even iterate on it. Let's just stop there. Yeah. I mean, it's a pretty, like, it's like devastatingly simple. You know what I mean? Like, you just got a pot of melted cheese that's like perpetually melting. And you just got like, you have this like assortment of
00:28:24
Speaker
dippable elements, maybe some diced bread. I threw a pickle in there. That wasn't really on the menu, but I was able to secure a pickle and dip that in. What else? Sausages? I don't know. What else do people dip in cheese?
00:28:43
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, if you fingers, um, cause that'd be dangerous. That shit is hot. Dude. Do you want to just stick the tongue straight in there? Like you're at the subway soda machine. Glug glug straight from, straight from mama's teats.
00:28:58
Speaker
I don't know man I like the concept of having this like like consistent program which is the perpetual cheese that then is like a base for being creative you're like what can I do with this how can I exploit this to have the most possible fun and that's what I like about Subway too it's the same thing they give you a set of rules and you play within them to maximize novelty and I think that's really cool but at the end of the day you're just dipping things in melted cheese that like
00:29:26
Speaker
Well, I don't like the idea of it just being like perpetual. I think that's the problem in your words, not mine. And yeah, cause it kind of gets like nasty. Like at eventually a mouse is just going to squirt out the top of that fondue. You know, kind of like a worm. Well, I don't know about that. I mean, we all know what happens if a little ratatouille ends up in the fromage. You know what I mean? You instantly croak.
00:29:51
Speaker
That's right. You're going to get the carcass of a ratatouille and then the health inspector will be shutting down your fondue party real quick. Yeah, totally. I don't know, dude, there's something just magical about it, like the simplicity of dipping stuff in cheese, cheese just being universally loved. You know, the funny little like long forks that they give you so that you're able to like gesture the dip the same way a composer would an orchestra.
00:30:21
Speaker
You know what I mean? You're able to really just like kind of flick the wrist and twirl a little bit of cheese on a piece of bread. I don't know, it's a good time. The act is quite delicate. It is. And it's kind of like the Swiss version of like hot pot. It's like there's a communal pot and then people are dipping things in it. You know what I mean?
00:30:40
Speaker
Yeah, that's actually a good way to think about it, which I would consider to be more socially acceptable. Well, only 2 billion people do that. Therefore it's acceptable. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's a good idea. There's 44,000 subways. Yo, true. We had this point about the subways, but also like it makes you think like anything that goes on in China technically is acceptable because like so many people do it.
00:31:08
Speaker
They like reach critical mass immediately, you know, like they were, I don't
The Unused Fondue Set
00:31:14
Speaker
even know what they were trying to do. Like if they're like all having plastic surgery to add a sixth finger to each hand, you just make them better typers on their typers on their like Huawei keyboards. That doesn't mean it's a good idea. It just means everyone's doing it.
00:31:31
Speaker
That's true. It doesn't mean it's a good idea. But if a certain percentage of people are doing it, then you can consider it normal. Right. What is the percentage? I don't know. Like in India, for example, technically speaking, riding on top of the train is considered normal.
00:31:53
Speaker
You're so right. It really comes down to, I think, who you want to let influence you, right? And it's not about how many, but who. Yeah. You want to keep your circle of influence as small as possible for a very esoteric lifestyle.
00:32:07
Speaker
Here's what happened with me with fondue. Going back to fondue. When I moved out of my parents' house, a young Thai, one of the first things I bought was a fondue set from a thrift store because I didn't know anything about living on my own. And I thought people are supposed to own these, you know? Oh my God. You're an adult now. I got a fondue set. Yeah, I never used it. No, no. Because people don't just casually fondue things.
00:32:37
Speaker
I'll do it. I would love to fun do with you. If you were to boot that thing up, I'll bring Bay over and we'll have a double fondue fondate. We'll call it a fondate. Ooh. Yeah, dude. I don't know, man. I have to dust it off. I felt like such a fondue fist when I just never, never used it. And I think it's because I fell for the scam of popular demand. Like I thought everyone was supposed to have one of these because this is the European hot pot. And I also thought that I would get a lot of use out of it because I'm an adult now.
00:33:06
Speaker
Yeah. Adults do things like this and neither of them ended up being true. So you're totally reasonable, totally reasonable. I am quite fond of the do. However, I don't know if the vintage one that you picked up is going to hold up very well. Like, I don't know if I could use something where someone else has dipped already. You know what I mean? Dude, all fondue has been pre-dipped. You're not going to be the like, well, the the virgin dip, you know, like the inaugural dip.
00:33:36
Speaker
it's communal it is it is communal but I don't know I can't run the car facts on this fondue you know I don't know who who has been dipping before me you don't know what they were dipping in there they could have been exactly yeah I could be doing some freaky shit like dipping like maybe they're dipping Drake's meat in there and then
00:33:56
Speaker
Sucking it off, I don't know. That's quite the twist. I wasn't expecting you to go there. Try to close the loop on the episode. This is a very meta episode. Dude, okay, so we've got to talk about Subway suit because that's the closest thing
Subway's Mystical Soup
00:34:12
Speaker
that Subway has to Fondue. Yeah, do the mysterious pot. Yeah, it is kind of a communal pot too because I bet that pot outlives many a sandwich artist's shift.
00:34:23
Speaker
multiple sandwich artists shifts, like engage with the same pot of soup. Is it perpetual? Are they just topping it up? Dude, the idea of like perpetually topping up the subway soup is so dangerous because like, you know, no one's touching that for like weeks on end. So that shit is just boiling over for like three weeks straight before someone taps in.
00:34:44
Speaker
Yeah, dude. Like they probably sell so little soup that they'll probably, it's a, it's like a Kager of like cream of mushroom. So I get, I bet they get through like a quarter of it every month. So that means they're like topping it maybe monthly with just the, just the last 25%. Yeah. I'm just thinking to like what a minimum wage worker probably wants to do at the end of their shift. And I imagine they like, like best case scenario, they're dumping whatever's in there.
00:35:14
Speaker
And like not even bothering like cleaning it before refilling it for the next day. Yeah. That's the best case scenario is that it gets dumped. Are they going to like, they can't put it in the sink. It's presumably chunky. They can't go down the drain. So then it has to go in the garbage bag and it's too wet for the dumpster. So where's the soup going? Do you imagine being in charge of straining the perpetual soup at subway?
00:35:42
Speaker
before taking it to the green bin outside. Oh yeah, dude. That's it. The whole thing is way over a sandwich artists pay grade. Like they need to behind bringing some people in hazmat suits to remove the soup. And that's why they, it's not happening. It's just, it's a forever soup.
00:36:01
Speaker
It's always just building off of what was before. The flavors get more intense, more nuanced, more rich. Oh, wow. It's aging like a fine wine over there. I'm actually kind of super curious now. I'm not going to lie. I want to know what's happening in that pot. We have to do we have to get some boots on the ground, I think, and ask the artist. Sounds like a Reddit like event. Ask the artist.
00:36:27
Speaker
What is in the soup? How long has it been boiling for? And. What's what's the deal with the soup, I guess. Do you know how they're going to respond? They'll be like, we have soup. What do you mean? I don't know. I'm able to really vividly picture the subway soup of the day graphic. And there's like a chicken noodle, I think, pictured.
00:36:52
Speaker
However, nowhere on the menu do they say what the soup of the day is unless it's chicken day every day. You know, I can vividly picture it too, but I think if I sipped it, that would stop because then I would go blind. Yeah. Oh, man. So so with so with the one day perpetual soup tie, do you think you would regain your vision or are you like blind for life?
00:37:21
Speaker
Okay, so backtrack here a little bit. Eric and I are not just talking out our asses. There's actually soups that will turn your eyes blind for a day. We were learning about this on Wikipedia pre-episode. I don't know how they add blindness or why they would introduce that as a quality of soup sipping. I think it's literally poison added to the soup in order to create a fun effect for your consumers.
00:37:46
Speaker
But I think Subway, if they create blindness, is purely on accident. Yeah, dude. Okay, I'm reading this Wikipedia page right now and I'll have to show you what this looks like. This is pretty, this is scary stuff, man. The perpetual one-day blinding stew, also known as forever blind for a day soup. Oh, god. Hunter's potto blindness.
00:38:12
Speaker
or hunter's sightless stew is a pot into which blindness inducing foodstuffs are placed and cooked. The pot never or rarely emptied all the way and ingredients and liquid are replenished as necessary. So exactly what we said with the Subway soup. Eating it causes the eater to become blind for a day.
00:38:39
Speaker
That's a whole day where you can't use your Apple vision pro. Wow. Yeah. Imagine you eat this with the pros on and you think your battery died, but you guys just go blind.
00:38:50
Speaker
Oh shit, your human battery died. Yeah. Disturbing. Wow. So this is a real thing and it was real enough to warrant a Wikipedia article that is also the, it feels like it's from a, uh, like
00:39:06
Speaker
What it like a like a one of those websites that's a wiki entirely for like a weird like isn't like video game from the Middle Ages. I don't really know. Yeah, this seems like some Game of Thrones side quest. You know what I mean? It's like totally defeat the one day blindings do.
00:39:24
Speaker
final boss of subway. Yeah, dude. The best part is it's various ingredients can be used in perpetual one-day binding stew, such as root vegetables, tubers, potatoes, yams, et cetera, and poisons. There you go. Damn, I don't think I have any of that in my pantry. Yeah, dude. The various meats part is I'm currently missing that, but poisons.
00:39:54
Speaker
Poison. The exploit is intentionally adding poison to footloans. It's possible, Tai.
00:40:00
Speaker
Yeah, dude, I would be surprised if Subway kept their pantry, their back stock next to their cleaning equipment. So instead of grabbing the vegetable broth, they accidentally grabbed the Windex. And actually, you got perpetually blinding soup. Yeah, dude. I feel like if they accidentally knock over the Windex and it spills into the soup, they're not going to do anything. They're just going to boil it for another 20 minutes and hopefully kill that off.
00:40:25
Speaker
This is like literally like a Marvel superhero or villain origin story happening in the back of Subway. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. And the superhero turns out to be Fogle. Whoa. This is do you think this is what caused Fogle to do the horrors he did? It's because of the soup. Dude, Fogle's horrors can only be possible after eating a stew like that. That's true. Wow. It all makes so much sense now. It does.
00:40:55
Speaker
Dude, this is an angle that I don't think the lawyers thought of. I think we're first on this case. We absolutely are. They wouldn't listen to Fogel on the stand when he said, it was the stew. You're like, whatever, man. I'm never ordering double meat again. Fogel had a sip of that Epstein stew.
00:41:20
Speaker
Oh no, that shit was not kosher, that's for sure. No. Various poisons. But I gave Epstein a lot more than blindness, let me tell ya. Dude, dude conked out. Dude was blind to the haters as well. Oh man. Anything else you want to talk about, Ty?
00:41:41
Speaker
I don't know, man. This has been a whirlwind of an episode. Man. Yeah, dude. I'm feeling exhausted from that stacked topic list today, but I'll have to end it here and catch up with everyone on Friday. Yes. Thank you for listening. Breadheads. Thank you for engaging with me, Eric. We will reengage later. Think fresh, everybody. Ciao.
