Exploring the Divine in Daily Life
00:00:03
Think Fresh
Hello sub-ordinates, how are we today? Oh man, I know you're not talking to me so... You're my boss. What's up doc? ah It's good to see you boss, good to be back in the booth with you. Good to be preaching to the breadheads once again.
00:00:24
Think Fresh
my the word of gospel, the word of God. Yeah, sometimes you can find God between bread. and That's what this podcast is here to discover. yeah Maybe help you discover along the way. If you're an atheist, you probably discover a dog between bread, but we are going for God between bread because that's the holy way to eat.
Governor Trudeau Resignation Humor
00:00:45
Think Fresh
first share dude. We got atheist and then we got eight in this and that's what we're doing here. Oh shit. Um man, speaking of boss, big boss man is resigning time. Yeah. Yeah. It's finally true Dover. It's true Dover. That's the first time I've heard that, but good I'm sure it'll be all over. Um, Eric, governor Trudeau is no more. We need a new governor. We need a new manager for the country. yeah Um, yeah.
00:01:15
Think Fresh
When was he demoted to governor? I kind of missed that whole wave. I don't know. Did he do something specific? No. Well, it was nothing. of It's just this is Donald, da Uncle Don's nickname for his pet name for the man up north. Ah, yes. Is that an upgrade or a you know downgrade from Surfer Boy?
00:01:35
Think Fresh
i like surfer boy it's disarming and uh kind of paints a picture of one's general disposition governor could be anything the governor yeah governor implies like you're either like a Arnold Arnold type like a governator the governator yeah or you're kind of like uh i don't know there's like a fat kind of like i don't know, someone who receives bribes kind of guy, you know, a corrupt guy, dude, yeah, 100%. Why is my like, stereotypical the vision of a governor like this?
00:02:09
Think Fresh
lard ball whose buttons are popping on his suit. yeah Yeah. The lobbyists have fed him well.
Subway's Resilience and Brand Critique
00:02:18
Think Fresh
But yeah, I don't actually don't know what any of this means for us, Ty, because Subway will continue to thrive under any kind of presidency or prime ministership. it Yeah, it is bipartisan for sure. So it could be like a martial law and sandwich lovers would find a way to make their way to Subway. you know they They will. It's ah ah one of the few safe spaces left for such a um a group like Sandwich Artists.
00:02:48
Think Fresh
good Fuck every time we're here time we're potting in front of subway if you can't tell from the aura if i know every time we're It's nervous. Yeah, we're on our lookout You can probably hear it pick up on Mike where I'm like checking my six every 30 seconds. I'm what look in the rearview mirrors But I always see somebody walk into this pizza place to get slice And I'm kind of thinking we should Maybe try it at some point. like It's just right there. It's converting more customers than the subway next door. That's true. Applying that it must be a better dining experience, but we only know the green and yellow tinted glass door.
00:03:24
Think Fresh
Also, I'm pretty sure two poorly-dressed undercover cops just went into Starbucks. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. They're staking out in there. yeah Hey, how come Subway's open sign is green and red? Red signifies clothes, and green has the perfect color to pair with it, which is yellow already. There's a bit of a brand miss here on their open sign. I don't know, Ty. I feel like there's a...
00:03:49
Think Fresh
like a strict kind of guideline as to what kind of like neon is available, you know? Like I don't think there's many neon shops that are willing to go yellow and green, but that just probably doesn't exist. Yeah, that's true. That's true. I'm not really up to speed on like the price of neon gas and whether it fluctuates depending on the color or the grade. Yeah.
Should Canada Elect a Celebrity PM?
00:04:13
Think Fresh
But Ty, what does this mean for the country? What happens now? like Do we, I don't know, elect a new shithead? yeah think like What actually happens? Nothing? I don't know. I don't really understand. No one follows Canadian politics, not even Canadians. So it's anyone's guess what the next step is here.
00:04:34
Think Fresh
yeah so i feel like there needs to be some sort of head of state right well he's still there right right right i think i think so maybe he's not all there but i think it's kind of proves that like politics are kind of bullshit unless you're waging war you know yeah totally like unless you're like allocating budget to killing people there's no real impact felt Yeah, because then you're just the pothole repair team. Yeah. Pothole repair team and fentanyl hand or hand routers. The fentanyl distributors there. Exactly. It's a good point. Good point. So I'm assuming somebody has to take the reins here, you know, who me make the nation whole, whole weed. I, and I don't really know who, like, do we follow the steps of our American predecessors and elect a Canadian celebrity?
00:05:29
Think Fresh
Oh, i I see. We don't really have many of those, to be honest. It's tough out there. The best option is like Nardwar for Prime Minister. Dude, Nardwar would be an insane choice for Prime Minister. Do you think he would actually... What kind of change would he implement, do you think? nadi Nardi. Nardi?
00:05:47
Think Fresh
I would actually think he would make a good leader, not because of his um charisma, but because of his ability to understand things very well. Oh my god, Eric, you're right. Those were undercover cops. I just saw them flash the lights.
00:06:01
Think Fresh
yeah yeah
00:06:04
Think Fresh
for Watching that unfold. Yeah, so I think he would just like, we would be able to dismantle any secret service or or other organizations because he could just do it himself. Yeah, he would just ask a really kind of like poignant question. He'd be like, how come you did this in 2012? Where were you on Gen 6 kind of thing? Oh, Nardwar knows where everybody is. He sees you when you're sleeping, Eric. Yeah, exactly. Oh, shit.
00:06:32
Think Fresh
um Yeah, it's possible that he would be a good leader, but also I feel like we're like we're kind of on the clock for our controversy. Unfortunately, you think you'll get canceled.
00:06:43
Think Fresh
I don't know if he'll get cancelled. I think he might face some legal trouble. um This is entirely speculative and based on nothing. Just pure feelings, not facts. But he's just kind of like too squeaky clean and beloved. And he's also like really weird and quirky. And I don't think those two things go together. Yeah, you're right. You know, it's like you definitely did something before you were famous kind of thing or maybe, you know, use your power for evil.
00:07:09
Think Fresh
Yes, yes. Nardwar's got some skellies in the closet. For sure he does. He's got some secrets under that beanie. He's got some skellies in the closet and some kellies in his bed, perhaps. Perhaps. Can we get a, you know, can we look into if he's hired any kellies? Dude, dude, anybody who's this good at due diligence must be do do lo do do to dilude diligence must be good at covering his own tracks i think those two are two sides of the same kind of identity yeah but but there's kind of three there's three possibilities here eric he either gets cancelled because he did something salinas passed he gets cancelled because his due diligence goes too far
00:07:54
Think Fresh
Or he gets cancelled for actively participating in some sort of cancelable behavior. Like, I would guess he is a peeping Tom. That's the only way you learn things. He's doing it. He's doing research, but it gets perceived the wrong way. Yeah, true.
00:08:09
Think Fresh
He just wants to know like you know what music Tyler, the creator, listened to in ah in his childhood. But in order to do that, you got to stalk his parents and like break into his childhood bedroom. you Yeah. You got to find the VHS drawer in the basement and then find the home movies. Exactly. Wow. So I hope it ah hope it's not true. But um yeah, I think we might see something about him in the next five years. Yeah, for sure. Which is just enough time to get through one presidential cycle.
00:08:38
Think Fresh
All he has to do is interview Kendrick Lamar or Drake. And then either fan base will dig it up. That's a good point. I think that's kind of the way. Man, those two fan bases both need to just get off the internet. It's almost like a certain level of celebrities like stardom where they just need to go offline. Taylor Swift's the same thing. It's just ah a certain point where we need to just take take it offline, parking lot that. um You can talk about it in your secret circles, but let's leave it ah off
Lifestyle Changes Pre-Hawaii Trip
00:09:12
Think Fresh
the public sphere.
00:09:14
Think Fresh
Yeah, some things are better left unsaid and untweeted, you know, leave it in the drafts folder. And uneaten too. That's right. Ty and I are coming off of a stellar salad lunch two days in a row now. Yeah, this week is all about trying to clean my gut, Eric.
00:09:29
Think Fresh
i'm I'm salads only, light dressing, high, high protein veggies, edamame, chickpea, quinoa, little engine grain, anything that's just going to help jumpstart me for 2025. Oh, dude, I'm already hungry. yeah It feels so good, Ty. I've been following my three step procedure, the operation. um It is to cut out alcohol, cut out um Smoking I haven't smoked in a long time good for you. So cutting out all like the evil shit including subway um Next thing is to take a daily probiotic. Ooh, I find that's been helping me um Maintain a slim gut. I don't think you got the guts. No guts
00:10:15
Think Fresh
<unk> mean but And then what was the last thing? Oh, I did a 40 hour fast. yeah it Yes. Yes. I think I mentioned on the pod already. We did cover that. But that was quite the ordeal. um I drank a couple juices. I don't know if that really counts. But yeah, I felt it felt nice to just stay off of food for a while. And that's all of that on top of a daily salad.
00:10:39
Think Fresh
Well, except for the fast. Except for the fast, yeah. ah Yeah, we it's now day two of salad only, I think. I'll probably skip lunch tomorrow and then we're going to Hawaii together. Oh, that's right. Nah, dropping our itinerary to the breadheads. Both Eric and I are doing a think fresh retreat that's right um oh with the good Hawaiian people. That's right. I don't know about you Ty, but I'll be diving into the poke bowls, the musubi wraps.
00:11:08
Think Fresh
um Some seafood most likely some scrimps. Yeah various kinds. It sounds fishy. That's all you man I'm gonna be eating bananas and pineapples papayas It's gonna be a fruity week for T-bone. Yeah, dude Would you dive into some raw fish?
00:11:28
Think Fresh
Oh, if it presents itself, I may dabble. We'll see something fresh. I think you should. the Whatever the catch of the day is, no doubt. Because um you'll be at a more remote location. So I feel like we don't want to get stalked by any Nardwar type listeners. Yeah, we will be on the one of the islands separately. um I learned that Hawaii is like hundreds of miles long or like a thousand miles long or something. It's like a huge territory actually. Really? Yeah. Are they counting coastline? Because there's a lot of coastline. It's like the total width of all the islands kind of in a row. Oh, I see. I see. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's a significant chunk of the Pacific.
00:12:14
Think Fresh
And some, yeah, I'm going to do a Google. Yeah. 1500 miles across. That is big. Yeah. How many footloans do you think that is? Dude. Let's see. Yeah. We'll do some fast pod math. 1500 miles, two foot long is.
00:12:33
Think Fresh
ah That's a lot of digits million 80 million 8 million 8 million. Yeah 8 million 8 million footlongs Wow um How many what's the population? So you think there's a ah okay right now they think more footlongs are people on Hawaii I think there's more Footlongs on Hawaii than people
00:12:55
Think Fresh
Yeah. Way more. but Way more footloans. 1.4 million people. Wow. I don't know if that's considering tourists like you and I. Dude, look at this flag. What the fuck is going on there? Yeah. Wow. Hawaii's got a very stripey flag. Yeah. Is that the British flag? Like picture in picture happening here? Yeah. The British flag picture in PIP, but then also the Russian flag is clone stamped across. Yeah. Interesting. Something's going on there. Hawaii, you need to answer this, answer these questions. What's going on with your flag?
00:13:24
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's really funny. Well, anyways, yeah, we'll be doing that. So ah yeah, what else? Eric, I just got to go back to the salads for a minute. yeah i cook salads I do have a hot take here. Well, maybe it's not hot. Salads are usually surf cold. Room temp. Room temp. um So I don't think salads need leafy greens any anymore. We can go ahead and remove the greens from the salad.
00:13:53
Think Fresh
Wait, hold on. So what is left after you remove the greens thigh? Well, salads have come a long way. The modern salad, the salad
Do Salads Need Leafy Greens?
00:14:00
Think Fresh
I eat today had like 40 different vegetables in it. There was zucchini, chickpeas, carrots, cukes, tomatoes. yeah There's all these seeds and nuts. There's berries, there's beets, there's greens. So the leafy greens, they're not doing anything with a salad. They make up a minority steak now.
00:14:19
Think Fresh
in the bowl, and Eric, the only reason they are there is to continue to i propel this narrative that a salad is made up of greens. It's because if you take the greens out, it begs the question, is it still a salad? And I think it is, but we're not ready to have that conversation as a society yet. I think I disagree with you, Ty, because I'm going to break this down kind of like uh sweet green style okay we're gonna talk about our base first okay i think what makes it a salad is the base being a leafy green right because if it's not that then the base would be like rice or something and that makes it a bowl
00:15:04
Think Fresh
So, yes. Or quinoa, God forbid. Yeah, God forbid, it's an orzo. um Yes, but the base doesn't have to be a base. That implies that there's like a substantial single ingredient making up the foundation of a filler. Yeah, like the bread. Would you just say the bread of the footlong is? The base, yeah. The base, yeah.
00:15:24
Think Fresh
And you're right, the leafy greens typically are, but if you just, okay, what about this? You put a handful of leafy greens in, you add all the other ingredients, then you take the leafy greens out. Do you still have a salad?
00:15:36
Think Fresh
I would say you have, okay, well it depends because if you are making a Caesar, then no, you just have a bunch of croutons. Fair enough. Right. There are some like pure, pure lettuce salads out there, pure blood salads. Like I think the MVP of a salad is the leafy green and like an oil. Like a house, the house salad. Yeah. Some mixed greens and some olive oil. Like that is a salad, but you take either of those out and it's no longer. Right.
00:16:06
Think Fresh
Yeah, but that's so like, okay, what about a caprese? Would you call that a salad? Oh, now we're talking. Now we're talking. I just don't think that, you know, in modern times, if the leafy green does not define the salad. Yes. No, you're right. I think the salad is raw vegetables consumed with a fork. Okay, that's actually an interesting one. What about pasta salad tie?
00:16:32
Think Fresh
not a salad unless you take the pasta out because it's not raw vegetables consumed with a fork. Pasta is the base. I'm trying to think of other salad examples. Yeah, yeah. There's, there are other, a tuna salad, a fruit salad, not really salads. It's kind of like a cold, cold something served like on the side.
00:16:58
Think Fresh
You know what I mean yeah yeah or could be a mean? Dude, salads are in their entree era. And that's what's so cool. And I like to think casual fine dining is what did this. i don't I wouldn't call it cool, personally. You don't think salads should be entrees?
00:17:11
Think Fresh
Uh, no, I think they should. I just wouldn't call them cool. It's just another option. All of West Hollywood disagree with you. Um, how do we even get to this? What are we even arguing? I don't even remember, but is a salad. The point being is I don't think salads need leafy greens. Leafy greens are performative to help push a narrative to help people identify that that is a salad, but beyond the identification and onboarding into that first bite.
00:17:39
Think Fresh
that's all they're there for. They're not there for flavor, they're not there for texture, they're just there to help get you in like fork in mouth. I think you're wrong though like you're right that it doesn't call it doesn't make it a salad by simply adding these greens or taking them out but It is a texture play that is like an option at the very least. You know what I mean? It adds something. It's not purely performative. Who are you performing to with your lettuce leaves? We're performing to our own sense of solid. To lose the leaf is to lose a sense of solid. That's the thing. We're not ready to lose it, but I think it's time to cut cut the ah head of lettuce. Cut the head of lettuce off? Yeah.
00:18:26
Think Fresh
I don't know, Ty. i I like my leafy greens. I'm not ready to ditch them. Okay. um Like if you change the leafy greens, that changes the salad completely. Like if you go from romaine to kale, that's, even if it's a still a Caesar, it's like a completely different experience. That is a significant adjustment. Right.
00:18:47
Think Fresh
What if ah you're getting an ancient green salad with kale versus cesar or kale versus romaine? Doesn't really make a difference, hey? Because you got so much more going on. You got some dried berries. I think your argument would be so much better if we were talking about quinoa because that is truly a filler that no one wants or needs. No one wants quinoa. We gotta get rid of quinoa. Like I almost never taste it unless you eat it by itself. It's it's completely invisible. ah want it You don't taste it and you don't taste, you don't feel it either. I don't even notice that I'm consuming it. No.
00:19:16
Think Fresh
It's hidden in a plain sight. Yeah, it's only if it's like you're eating a pile of it. Mm hmm. You know, like as a as a green thing, which I don't as a vegetarian, I don't even think I've taken just a scoop of quinoa and put it in my mouth before.
00:19:31
Think Fresh
There's never a use case for that. I have, and I regret it to this day. Well, maybe a quinoa salad, but usually that's all just feta cheese. There's scantily a scoop of quinoa in there. Yeah. I mean, there's just so many better greens, rice, like even just within rice, there's like a million types. Yeah.
00:19:50
Think Fresh
and then couscous couscous is so good yeah dude dude a little underrated i would agree especially like you get the big big israeli couscous ones a little extra oh yeah supersized yeah yeah i agree yeah that's the good shit yeah i might have an an israeli couscous salad tonight actually that sounds fire I will have a Palestinian couscous salad tie now. Do I even do that?
Skip Bayless Misconduct Discussion
00:20:18
Think Fresh
We're gonna have more more conflict now on this podcast. yeah
00:20:23
Think Fresh
Oh man. An emerging conflict zone. Real quick segment that I want to talk to you about Ty. Are you familiar with the show on, I think it's on ESPN with Skip Bayless? No, I'm not familiar with Skip Bayless. It was, it was, uh, you know, Shannon Sharpe? No, I don't know Shannon Sharpe. You're going to have to update me and the British. You don't know any, the redheads know you're the only one who's got a little. Whatever. That's not true. This is, um,
00:20:49
Think Fresh
These are two well-known sports commentators who used to have their own show. Fuck, I'm blanking on the name. well See, no one knows anything. Okay, hold on. What type of sports do they commentate on, Eric? Usually basketball or football. Oh, undisputed. That was the Skip and Shannon undisputed talk show. That sounds disputable to me, but I'll yeah keep going. Skip is basically a known LeBron hater, which is kind of funny. Cool.
00:21:15
Think Fresh
but um Basically, Ty, Skip, he's kind of like a dirty old man, and it's come to light that he has been using his power to solicit sex in the workplace. No, another one. Another one. I mean, honestly, good riddance. If you ask me, I don't like him.
00:21:35
Think Fresh
I always had a bad feeling about him because he was disrespecting my king at every second he had. Of course, and many queens along the way. And many queens, it turns out, yeah. um But it's alleged that he offered a coworker $1.5 million dollars to sleep with her. Wow, what a simp. Holy shit. And he's obviously a millionaire. How ugly is this guy? He's obviously a millionaire because he, you know, I think he had like a $30 million dollars contract or something. Right, right. He's 73 years old though.
00:22:06
Think Fresh
wow 1.5 million for yeah for a shag yeah for a shag dude wow um dude must have been really thirsty that's crazy and he's married too so this is all alleged but i have a feeling it's close to true i don't know if the dollar amount is true Um, but I don't know. What do you, what do you think of old men doing that ah at their job? I mean, I feel like there's like only one narrative here that is, uh, appropriate, which is that they But also, I'm, I'm a like, a I believe in capitalism at the same time, you know, and like, and of the the virtues of capitalism. So it's hard to know if this is just like a byproduct of our capitalist world. And therefore, maybe no one should be interfering, you know, there's a a service, there's supply and there's demand.
00:23:03
Think Fresh
So, okay. Apparently he was offering this to a hairstylist at Fox Sports. Let me, as long as I can delete this fucking paywall. Hang on. Let me get on the paywall so that we can learn more information about the victim, I guess, or the,
00:23:22
Think Fresh
I guess the employee. Yeah, I'm not really sure what the appropriate title is. Let's see. Yeah, sued by former hairstylist making unwanted sexual advances toward her and offered her offered her one point five million dollars. for seat That's crazy. OK, Eric, one point five million is that's Virgin on life changing. I would fuck Skip Bill. I was just going to ask you, would you climb in the sheets with this fucking 73 year old dude? Like, I kind of think I would, too. Like I give him more than seven minutes in heaven.
00:23:51
Think Fresh
To be honest, this probably happens on the regular and we're just too stupid to know. yeah But I feel like you could accept the Venmo request and then give him probably the worst time of his life. Like kind of just, I don't know, like keep your clothes on type of type of thing. Right, right, right. You don't have to get freaky just because the check is big. Yeah, maybe like you know, so ah trick him in some way, don't even let him do anything. And then you kind of walk away with 1.5. Like, what is he gonna do? Like, ask for it back? Yeah, totally. Like, he can't do that. Like, his initial offer was illegal. Yeah, he he's the one that's more in the wrong. Unless you're both complicit, because it's kind of like prostitution. That's the only right, right, maybe other side of this. I didn't think about that.
00:24:48
Think Fresh
I need to open these windows cause we're not here. Unless we want to just wrap up. Yeah, let's wrap this. We'll hop in the booth for the next episode later. Okay. Brett heads. Thank you for letting us talk about skip, um, and as far as well as many other subjects. Yeah. And if you skipped that segment, I don't blame you. a Nice one. Okay. Brett heads. Thanks for listening. Talk to you on Friday. Ciao. Ciao.
