Ty & Eric discuss the declining popularity of the name Jared, ordering sauces based on memory alone, when the sandwich artist fingers your footlong, the mysterious aura of Ashton Hall, using every part of the banana, auditing their local Subway’s daily sales, and getting their automobiles hijacked.

A Spring Day in Vancouver

00:00:50
Think Fresh
Breadheads, breadheads, breadheads. Ty and Eric back in the booth coming to you live from the downtown east side of Vancouver, Canada. like my cheese drippy, bro.
00:01:02
Think Fresh
That's right, Ty. That red toaster light is blinking. We are toasting in this car right now. It is a beautiful spring day.
00:01:12
Think Fresh
And yeah, I got to say, we're we've ah battled the homeless e-scooter gang and we are you know able to be parked in this arcade, I guess, and take in the view of the mountains.

Safety Concerns and Uber Parallels

00:01:25
Think Fresh
Dude, what Eric means by that is we are witnessing a man on an e-scooter pull into this parking lot next to us, post up with the beautiful view, and now it looks like he's got his meth pipe out and he's having some fun. Yeah.
00:01:37
Think Fresh
I tried to lock the car door here. I don't know if it worked. Dude, the other day i was trying to drive home and I pulled over at a stop sign so someone could cross the street in front of me. a mystery dude.
00:01:47
Think Fresh
And then what happened is after he crossed, started cross the street, he walked towards my vehicle and he tried to open my car door. oh my God. It was terrifying. As he got close, I thought I should lock this. So I locked the door and thank God I did because he tried to open it.
00:02:03
Think Fresh
So you were in the car? I was in the car. Holy shit, dude. That's kind of fucked up, honestly. It was a little bit freaky. It definitely raised the hairs on the back of my neck.

Customer Service Woes and Humor

00:02:14
Think Fresh
How do you think um sandwich employees feel, Ty, when, you know, shop's closed and then you got some drunk idiots coming up to the door and trying to open it?
00:02:23
Think Fresh
Probably the same way. Yeah. The salami on the back of their neck is prickly. Yeah, dude. Wow. So, so what happened after that? Did you like roll down the window and tell fuck off or?
00:02:33
Think Fresh
i just beelined it out of there. i didn't want to wait around. You drove off. I drove off. Holy shit. Yeah. Did you check to see if you were dragging him with you? I did actually. I was checking the the the blind spots for him.
00:02:44
Think Fresh
Wow. But I realized this is actually the daily life of the Uber driver. Because if you're an Uber driver, a cab, people are walking up to you all over the place and just trying to get in the car.
00:02:55
Think Fresh
yeah That's so messed up if you really think about it. you're so sitting Imagine you're a cab driver, you're sitting at a stoplight and suddenly some goon comes out of nowhere and starts trying to climb in your vehicle.
00:03:08
Think Fresh
They're just a customer. He could have mistook me for an Uber. I should give him the benefit of the doubt. Yeah, I don't know. did he Was he saying something like, ah for Jared, for Jared?

The Impact of Scandal on Naming Trends

00:03:20
Think Fresh
Do you think Jared Fogle's namesake has reduced the baby population of the same name? do you think we saw a drop off after the allegations?
00:03:31
Think Fresh
Definitely, dude. There are certain names that you can probably track the usage of over time. Yeah. For example, Adolph is one that is very, very seldomly used. um And wow, it looks like you are pulling up the actual data. Let's let's take it.
00:03:46
Think Fresh
Let's double click into what the tableau is saying. Yeah. So the first thing we need to know is what year was Jared Fogle arrested? He was arrested 2015. that's starting point.
00:03:58
Think Fresh
so that's the starting point Jared was a very popular name between 1980 and 2000s. It wasn't really a name until until the 70s it started to pick up.
00:04:11
Think Fresh
So like if you were a Jared from the 1970s, you were one of the the early adopters of that namesake. Yeah, that's honestly um pretty crazy. I'm looking at two very strong peaks and valleys here.
00:04:23
Think Fresh
um But yeah, after 2015, it pretty much flatlined close to the bottom with, I would i would say around 0.06% in the Yeah, it looks like it.
00:04:36
Think Fresh
Yeah, Jared's arrest in 2015 was probably the lowest moment for naming of Jared. So that makes sense. But what's interesting is the drop off started about a decade prior.
00:04:48
Think Fresh
here So as soon as Jared's victims were born, people stopped naming their kids Jared.
00:04:56
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's a little harrowing, Ty, I won't lie. Yeah, harrowing is a good way to describe it. Interesting. Well, um luckily we won't be having kids anytime soon, am I right? Yeah, and they're not getting that name.
00:05:08
Think Fresh
That's right. Yeah. So what's going on, Eric?

Subway Adventures and Quirks

00:05:12
Think Fresh
ah Last time we talked, we concluded the previous episode with ah the intention to go to Subway for dinner.
00:05:20
Think Fresh
Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. That's where we left the bread heads off on our on our journey. Yeah, that's right. It was a beautiful Friday evening. actually it was raining but uh nevertheless after a pod it's always a beautiful day and um we were deciding whether to get a ice cold guinness or a subway sandwich or both and um i'm happy well actually i'm sad to report that we only got the sandwich yeah i need a full pint but i just got a foot long yeah so um ty and i you know scurried over to the nearest subway, ordered a footlong. I got the Nashville hot chicken footlong.
00:05:57
Think Fresh
Yeah. And um I got to say it was exactly what I was craving, Ty. I was so hungry that that dry shredded chicken really hit the spot for me. It couldn't have been that dry because when you said, can I add the Nashville hot sauce? The sandwich artist looked at you like you were an idiot. And he said, it's already on the sandwich. Yeah. And I tried to call his bluff. I was like, there's no way it's already there. Cause it looked dry as shit.
00:06:19
Think Fresh
Yeah. dude It looked like it was just came out of a toaster, which it did. to Yeah. But still dusty. Ah, chicken. Yeah. Dude. I need a sip of milk to watch this. Dude, I completely forgot about this. The trauma is bubbling back up.
00:06:32
Think Fresh
This is insane. So to prove to Eric that the chicken was sauced up, the sandwich artist took his gloved up finger, stuck it into the sandwich, pulled it out and pointed it at Eric to show him the finger covered in sauce.
00:06:49
Think Fresh
Yeah. Isn't that crazy? That's right. He... Oh, God damn it. Yeah, he ah he stuck his finger in my in my sandwich tie and showed it to me And... He fingered your meats.
00:07:01
Think Fresh
And if you look at it, like, objectively, like, he's not doing anything perverse because he's wearing gloves. He's already touching your sandwich. So he should have the free reign to kind of, like, get his fingers in there.
00:07:11
Think Fresh
But just the, like, motion of him, like... you know, hitting the the shocker on my, on my footlong, um, two in the, two in the pink, one in the stink. Uh, yeah, I can't, I can't say it made it any more appetizing, you know, it's kind of ruined it a little bit for me.
00:07:28
Think Fresh
Yeah. He was kind he was flicking the meats there a little bit, the way he rubbed it around and He was. And then I said, you know what? Fuck it. Give me some extra natural hot sauce.
00:07:38
Think Fresh
And he did. That was the right call, dude. Because you could have submitted to that moment. you were You could have let the sandwich artist be right. But ye you asserted yourself. You said, sauce it up anyways. I don't care what evidence you have to show.
00:07:51
Think Fresh
We live in a post-evidence society. Just give me what I want. That's right. Yeah. Luckily, the glove did fit, though, in this case. But yeah, I got... What else did i get? Some...
00:08:03
Think Fresh
garlic aioli i think and uh some nashville hot sauce lots of veg and uh it was like really fucking spicy because i had jalapenos and veneno peppers too but that's okay we have a solution to spicy i think fresh podcast don't we eric that's right i also got a this is an unhinged decision but half liter of milk to go with it for dinner for dinner milk for dinner well you know what if i'm you know choosing to punish myself, inflict self-harm by getting a sandwich for dinner, a Subway sandwich at that, I might as well supplement it with a milk that comes with the right amount of protein, the right amount of you know vitamin c vitamin d calcium, iron, all the good stuff yeah that's been genetically pumped into the cow.
00:08:49
Think Fresh
um I'm happy to supplement it because then I feel like I got a complete you know meal Right. So when people talk about having a balanced diet at Subway, balanced meal, it's only balanced because the milk's been super fortified with all of the other stuff that was the sandwiches deficient in.
00:09:09
Think Fresh
i'm I'm so pro-milk, bro. I think we got to bring it back, honestly. No, I get that. You love a big, big milker. That's right. I love big milkers. There's a strict window where I don't think it's acceptable, like between 2 and 4 p.m.
00:09:24
Think Fresh
Once it's dinner time, I think it's all it's all free reign. Yeah, so you just don't like it for Apertivo. No. Midday milk. That is insane. That kind of rings wrong, know? Yeah, I get that. That's some sour milk right there. Yeah.
00:09:38
Think Fresh
But, Ty, what did you get? Because I know we talked about the McDonald's McVeggie. Did you... What did you go with again? Did you go for the McVeggie Patty? I did. I did. ah Because this was a dinner sandwich, which I seldom get.
00:09:53
Think Fresh
Yeah. I felt like I should spend a little more. So not only did I get the veggie patty, which is the premium vegetarian option. Yeah. I also added the thick cuts of mozzarella cheese that cost extra to add, by the way. Yeah.
00:10:08
Think Fresh
Got these thick cuts in there too, just to really pump it up. Oh, yeah. So before I even add veggies, I'm already looking at like an inch and a half thick patty with matzah on top. So it was a heavy boy. I could barely get through it.
00:10:22
Think Fresh
There was a crazy moment when I was ordering too, Eric, because tend to be the, like, I'm the scout. I get ahead of you. You're like the, you you bring in the muscle afterwards to kind of like clear things out. But I'm up ahead.
00:10:35
Think Fresh
I'm trying to figure out what to do, navigate the situation, ah like uncover new ground for us. yep And I encountered a situation I've never had before.
00:10:46
Think Fresh
Now we arrived around 6 p.m. and Subway wasn't closing until 10 p.m. There was a four hour window till close. But this sandwich artist had... already started shuting shutting down the place for the day.
00:10:59
Think Fresh
He knew no one comes here for dinner. There's no way anyone would want to go into this place. He had the, he had the like metal gate halfway closed on the door. The toaster oven was cleaned out.
00:11:11
Think Fresh
um And he had put all of the sauces away. as I'm sharing this story, Eric pulling up some pictures of some naked men on his computer. Jamie, what do you want to show us? I'm pulling up some naked black man.
00:11:22
Think Fresh
Dude, I gotta, I gotta open these windows. yeah I'm cooking like a motherfucker. This is the the toaster oven. We're on an episode of Hot Ones right now. Yeah, apologies, breadheads, for the decrease in audio quality from here forward.
00:11:33
Think Fresh
But hopefully it will be an an increase of your host's lifespan. Exactly, dude. Holy fuck, I'm sweating like an asshole right now. um Yeah, Ty, I'm sorry i didn't sort to cut you off and distract you with these ripped black men, but would you like to continue your story? I don't really know what this side quest is all about. Okay. Anyways, the sandwich artist is shutting up shop for the day, which meant that there was not a single bottle of sauce in sight.
00:11:59
Think Fresh
That's All the sauce was gone. So in order to order my sauce, I had to go up to the list of sauces in the nutritional fact section and just order based off of the name.
00:12:10
Think Fresh
And I only, i usually order sauce based off color. so that was very confusing that was kind of cool to scan the list and order it purely based on the name like it's a rare opportunity to and don't know explore like how your color biases might be coming into play for sure we all have biases and it's a good chance to recognize it that's right but dude i was waffling i could not i could barely read none of the words made sense so much so that the sandwich artist had to step up and recommend a saucepan was so embarrassing. Yeah, I saw you crumble in front of that long list of sauce, dude. I don't know what but made you fold so hard, but yeah, I saw a weak moment. It was very, very beta. Sandwich Arch Step 7, he says, why not some Chipotle?
00:12:53
Think Fresh
Like, sure, buddy. Add some Chipotle. I'm done here. He's like, everyone gets the same shit. I'm not going to pretend like you know any better. know I mean? I'm just going to recommend the same shit everyone else gets. Give the best of what we have to offer.
00:13:06
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's right. And I know went with it. And it was good. Maybe a prompt next time should be, let's go with the least popular ingredients. You know, like I'm thinking probably like the tandoori.
00:13:17
Think Fresh
Yeah. You know, i mean, something along those lines. Yeah, we should let those ah black olives play a more kind of main character role. Right. Well, ty speaking of black olives, I want to talk to you about Ashton Hall.

The Influence of Ashton Hall

00:13:31
Think Fresh
This is a... What is kind of pivot is this? This is the why you have a bunch of ripped dudes on your computer screen right now. Yeah, dude. This is um something I've been obsessed with for 24 hours now.
00:13:43
Think Fresh
And um it's this like... I don't even know what to call him, like a lifestyle online coach kind of guy who has 9 million followers on Instagram. Whoa, popular guy. When I looked yesterday, it was at 8.8 million. So in the span of 24 hours, bro grew by Wow.
00:14:02
Think Fresh
wow um And I just want to show you how uns insane some of this guy's content is because he um supposedly wakes up at like 3.52 is time stamp is.
00:14:14
Think Fresh
um Dunks his face in a bottle or a bowl of sparkling water ah with lemon and ice. Then he rubs a banana peel on his forehead to get the, I'm assuming the kind of like vitamin E properties or something from that for his skin.
00:14:32
Think Fresh
um Then this guy has like several assistants hand him like a weighted vest, his like calf sleeves, gets him ready for his jog.
00:14:44
Think Fresh
And he hops in the G-Wagon and then does like sprints for, I'm presuming, like an hour or so. Interesting. Yeah. So it's very unclear what this guy actually does other than like work out and have people cater to him.
00:14:56
Think Fresh
But it's pretty exciting. And I do want to show you some of the content. Yeah, the ideal male lifestyle. This is all starting to make sense, though, Eric, because I've seen a lot of online memes talking about bananas on the face or putting your face in a bowl. But it's... Yeah, yeah.
00:15:10
Think Fresh
um usually related to some celebrity's toilet bowl. That's right. Essence did famously post um the Saratoga blue water bottle. There's like a premium sparkling water brand with a banana and then a dude in his swim trunks.
00:15:22
Think Fresh
Wow, they were on it. Yeah, so it's basically this guy um just itemized, you know? See, we can fetishize anything. Yeah. Okay, so you're going to show me some material from this guy? That's right. And Instagram is making me log in. Maybe I'll just do it on my phone. Hold on.
00:15:36
Think Fresh
That's okay. It works better as a soundboard. That's right. So... so we We got to figure out why why he's just on the scene now. like There's been people with optimal workout routines for centuries.
00:15:49
Think Fresh
Yeah. Okay. Let's jump into one of his reels here. Okay. So here he is. 3.56 AM. m Yeah. My favorite time of day. He's got the Sensodyne. I use Sensodyne. Yeah. He brushes his teeth shirtless.
00:16:01
Think Fresh
Hit some sparkling. Oh, squirt of shaving cream. Yeah, we all do that. Nothing special here to just to shave. So I don't know what's so popular about this guy other than his muscles right now.
00:16:13
Think Fresh
Well, that's kind of it. It's now 4.15 a.m. and he's twerking on the balcony. Yeah, having some fresh air. He broke something. Okay, so he's reading at 4.30 in the morning. We all do that. He's journaling. I journal.
00:16:28
Think Fresh
Watches some YouTube. ah He prepares a bowl of ice water with some lemon, presumably to drink. No, it's not to drink. He put his face in it, okay? He's getting dressed now for what looks like a workout routine. He's got the sweet cokes on, on the feet, and the Goyard purse to take to the gym.
00:16:46
Think Fresh
Very cool. Matching outfit. So he's spent now like two hours getting ready for his run and it's only six in the morning still. Wow. His day is already over before mine begins. Yeah. By the time you wake up, he's on day three. Wow. Crazy.
00:16:59
Think Fresh
So you got to admire a guy who gets up early, but this is the same routine as most of our frontline workers. You have to remember. That's right. He's now finished in the sauna at 7 in the morning. This is pretty inspiring, Ty. I don't know about you, but I want to you know incorporate some of this into my life. Hopson, the G-Way. Yep.
00:17:16
Think Fresh
He's going to do some burpees now. It looks like in a parking lot. I think he's maybe in Florida. Yeah, I think it's Miami. This is so Miami-coded. It's crazy. For sure. Yeah, it's crazy.
00:17:28
Think Fresh
yeah My favorite part of this clip was he did a slow motion jump. And when he jumped, it was 740 AM. m And then when he landed, it was 742 AM. OK. Dude's a jumper. OK, so now it's 830. He's taking a shower. He's eating a banana.
00:17:45
Think Fresh
He's rubbing the banana peel on his face. Now he's chopping some chives and making some breakfast. Looks like some dumplings. Oh, we all have to have a scroll hole.
00:17:57
Think Fresh
He's in a scroll hole at 920
00:18:00
Think Fresh
Just responding to the online sentiment about him. Oh, another dunk of face. I got to try the face dunk. Yeah. Okay, that's my takeaway is I'm not dunking my face in enough ice water. I hear it's actually really good for you.
00:18:11
Think Fresh
um But I mean, just the setup, like every dunk is probably like... what, $7 of water? Because he's buying, like, the expensive shit. Right, you gotta to get the alkaline shit from Erwan if you're gonna do this. You don't want, like, impurities in your face water. Yeah, totally.
00:18:26
Think Fresh
um But yeah, pretty inspiring stuff, Ty. um what do you What do you, what else do you think about this? My takeaway from this is, obviously, there's some good ideas here to read in the morning and to get up some fresh air.
00:18:38
Think Fresh
you know, visit the sauna once in a while. Yeah. I don't think this is too worthy of a, such virality. I think and know how we can apply some of these learnings to subway actually.
00:18:50
Think Fresh
Yeah. Um, My favorite part of his content is the fact that he, the only thing he says is thank you and ah appreciate you big bro. Whenever someone hands him something.
00:19:01
Think Fresh
So I think we should employ that strategy at Subway. soon as the lettuce hits the bread, we say appreciate you big bro. And then just kind of reaffirm every action along the way. Right. I think that might boost their confidence.
00:19:14
Think Fresh
Dabbing them up a little bit. Thank you, boss. Exactly. Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point. There's something ah respectable about a man of few words. who This guy has two story highlights.
00:19:27
Think Fresh
ah One is called mentorship. The other one is clients fire emoji. Oh, cool. So I think he might be taking applicants time. So he could be my personal trainer. But yeah, personal trainer, lifestyle coach. Yep. You know, he can show you like the right amount of lemon to squeeze into your face bowl. He can teach me how to use every part of the banana.
00:19:46
Think Fresh
Exactly. Yeah. This is a tip to tail household. We don't waste any of the banana. Huh. Interesting dude. Like I said, I don't know if he deserves the virality. Like my wake up routine is way more worthy of the internet than this because it would be far more concerning.
00:20:05
Think Fresh
Yeah. This is a very respectable and fine workout routine. Mm-hmm. If I were to draw parallel, the closest guy I think is this competition is Drew Walls. Do you know who that is?
00:20:19
Think Fresh
No, but I'm about to Google Drew Walls. Okay. He is the guy who Drake famously reposted for for basically like vlogging his whole day.
00:20:30
Think Fresh
And he would like set up a tripod, chop some onions, like go to the gym, park the car, move the tripod, like all this shit and play some like soft Drake music while he's doing it Gotcha. Gotcha.
00:20:41
Think Fresh
Yeah. You'll have to go to Instagram to find him. But this photo of him kind of looks like um that is smiley. Yeah. He does look like he does look like smiley. Yeah. OK. So this guy is he's a he's a daily vlogger. Yeah. Daily vlogger.
00:20:55
Think Fresh
um But he's kind of like the low T version of Ashton Hall. Gotcha. Yeah. Like he's like showing his showing how he makes his bed.
00:21:06
Think Fresh
Whereas like Ashton is like hiring like a 10 out of 10 model to, you know, fluff his pillows. Right. Ashton's not fluffing his own pillows. That's right. That makes a lot of sense.
00:21:16
Think Fresh
So there there there's like the airwanafication of the morning routine, what they call it. Yeah, dude. It's the airwanafication and the black rifle coffeefication. There you go. Okay, well, that is pretty aspirational then.
00:21:28
Think Fresh
And I think like he's coming in at a good time because daily vloggers kind of fell off. So I think there's a whole generation of like people on the internet that aren't really ah aware of what that world was.
00:21:41
Think Fresh
yeah So if this guy's coming he's like, this is my routine. your if you're going a daily vlog now, you have to be this dialed in. yeah that That's pretty cool to be this dialed in. yeah Minute by minute.
00:21:52
Think Fresh
I mean, there's nothing more inspirational than seeing a man with a goal, right? That's for for sure. Yeah. Yeah. He said, he made an inspiring quote about like lions. He's like, a lion doesn't wait or something.
00:22:05
Think Fresh
Something along those lines, Ty. Dude, I wish I was a man with a goal. I'm in the veggie section like, uh, it's hard. It is hard. But Ty, you got to watch some of his sprinting videos. Check this one out.
00:22:18
Think Fresh
He just runs in slow motion. Wow. This dude's so ripped. Holy shit. He looks like an action figure. Yeah. And then yeah he has his homies filming him from the G-Wagon. Of course.
00:22:30
Think Fresh
Yeah. So he just like, this is an interesting take on Influencer actually. He's just got a whole crew to film him in slow motion all day. Yeah. Like imagine like there's like a black dude in your neighborhood sprints around the parking lot every morning at like six in the morning.
00:22:46
Think Fresh
With a gold chain on. With a gold chain and AirPods. Yeah. Damn. can't believe how Rip this dude is. That's crazy. Okay. Minute by minute. That's my new mantra for life. My lifestyle is I got to plan out every minute if I'm going to be successful.
00:23:01
Think Fresh
Just something to make you potentially want to self-delete, Ty. He posted about having 4 million followers on in January. Whoa. He doubled it in two months. Good for than doubled it.
00:23:12
Think Fresh
He's beating those. He's posting, putting think fresh numbers up. yeah that's right That's crazy. That's right. That's right. Um, anyways, Ty, that was my topic. Anything else you want to cover? ah Well, just what I realized today is success can come in many different ways.

Subway's Financial Insights

00:23:27
Think Fresh
And some success is better than others. okay ah When I think about our dinner at Subway compared to this guy's lifestyle, I realize we might be doing something wrong here.
00:23:39
Think Fresh
But I think Subway might be doing something wrong too, Eric. Because one thing I didn't tell you is as we were leaving Subway, I spotted a receipt on the table at the cash register.
00:23:49
Think Fresh
oh And it was the cash out receipt from the previous day. ah So I took a photo of it. Oh, interesting. Yeah. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to have you guess how much money this subway makes in one day. Holy fuck. So this is the end of the day kind of like print out, like here's the balance.
00:24:10
Think Fresh
Correct. Interesting. Okay. Um, Let me just think about this for a second. So let's say average foot long price is $12. twelve dollars Yeah, an inch. That seems fair. $1 an inch.
00:24:23
Think Fresh
I'm going to guess at any given time during rush hour, there is five people in line. Okay. So that's five people at lunch. okay Okay. That's $60 just at lunch hour. Mm-hmm. Actually, no, it would probably be more like... You think Subway in one hour means $60? No, no, no. The math is wrong. That's only one moment.
00:24:42
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's an instance. Okay, let's think. How many people would shop there in an hour? I'm going to guess one per every two minutes. yeah thirty Okay. So $30. Okay. $30. So that's $360 at lunch.
00:24:53
Think Fresh
And then for the rest of the day, I'm going to guess... um Every hour would see around five customers. Okay.
00:25:04
Think Fresh
Okay. You can assume they're open for what? Eight hours. Eight hours, yeah. Let's just assume eight hours. So what is that? Plus eight times... What did say? Five? Yeah.

Dude, you're pretty good at using the calculator app. I'm impressed. Oh, dude. I love typing functions into the spotlight tool on Mac. Yeah, that's impressive. I'm going to say $400. I think that's low. I'm just going to round it up to $500. $500 in one day. Yes.
00:25:30
Think Fresh
All right. Well, you are a little low. Okay. In one day, Subway sells... $1,240 worth of sandwiches.
00:25:41
Think Fresh
So at 12 bucks a foot long, that works out to about 103 foot longs. Wow. Yeah. I thought that was still low for an entire business to make 1200 bucks a day. That is pretty low.
00:25:53
Think Fresh
This ah ripped dude is probably pulling that an hour with his sponsorship deals. Mm-hmm. So let's assume the sandwich artist makes, let's just say $14 an hour.
00:26:04
Think Fresh
That's $112 a day pre-tax. Damn. that's And you got to have at least three on shift to get through the day. Yeah. Let's say times two, right? yeah So $200 day. So they're making net $1,000. That goes straight back into the...
00:26:17
Think Fresh
that goes straight back into the what ty well you also have to cover business costs like rent you got to cover ingredients you got to cover repairs and damage their windows getting broken there every week because we're in the downtown east side baby oh yeah uh so i would say they're actually netting after all of that like five maybe 500 bucks a day i think you're right 500 oh yeah i meant net the whole time cool um no well think about this though How much cleaning are they doing relative to other subways? Probably more.
00:26:49
Think Fresh
so i feel like they are breaking closer to even. And therefore, that's why they haven't updated the branding to be the new branding. They just simply can't afford it. They can't afford it. You're right.
00:27:01
Think Fresh
Wow, they need to GoFundMe. yeah Yeah, dude. I started GoFundMe to rebrand the subway. Bring it to the modern age. I feel so sad they're falling behind. I can't believe you held on to this information for a whole weekend.
00:27:14
Think Fresh
like we We were sitting next to each other, Ty. You didn't even bring it up. I felt like this was the right time and place. so Now we know we when we go to eat at this subway location near us, we are actually making a meaningful impact on their business.
00:27:28
Think Fresh
Yeah. They are a small business and we are supporting them. Yeah, that's right. of weird. You know don't think of it that way, but they're not selling that many foot lawns. Yeah, hundred we're truly making an impact. You know, your vote counts, Ty. Yeah, exactly. That was probably a good day for them.
00:27:41
Think Fresh
Yeah. Wow. Wow. Well, on that note, on that somber note, I think we should call it here, Ty. Thanks for potting with me, Breadheads. Thanks so much for listening. Yes. Thank you, Breadheads.
