00:01:16
Think Fresh

This is my intern, Eric. assistant manager i would say assistant to the host uh so uh we're and we're recording parkside today as we sometimes do i feel like this is the the real like laboratory for our some of our best work is when we're sitting next to a patch of grass definitely our spot for our cleanest intros because was beautiful by the way you did that thank you um yeah i'm on one today And I just want to clarify that when we say Parkside, we're not talking about the brewery, the one that
Inchcoin & Cryptocurrency Jokes
00:01:47
Think Fresh
smells like farts.
00:01:47
Think Fresh
Yeah, Fartside. It's Farts. They accept fart coin there.
00:01:53
Think Fresh
Now collecting Inchcoin. Inchcoin. Shout out to Inchcoin. Shout Inchcoin. You can buy Inchcoin yourself. Please do. Yeah. We had a sale. Someone sold yesterday. No. Yeah. We got sellers? We got sellers. Ah, shit. So we're looking for buyers. It's a buyer's market. It is right now. And Inchcoin is booming.
00:02:10
Think Fresh
Solana is up. So that means Inch is up. Inchcoin may be the next like Doge. I think it could be a ah big one. like It could be the new Bonk.
00:02:22
Think Fresh
Where did that shit just land? I don't know.
Recording Near the Park: Wildlife Concerns
00:02:25
Think Fresh
Okay, so Eric has a sunroof on his car and he's always terrified that we open it, a Birdwill bunker busts us with some bird shit.
00:02:34
Think Fresh
And we just about got caught in some crossfire there. Yeah. okay it looks like we're safe do you see it on the ground i i don't see any evidence of the attack i think okay if it would have hit the car it would have been louder yeah yeah yeah that would have had an echoing effect so dude crows are just the are just flying rats yeah that's my that's my take that's a good take i these fucking guys they're the only risk of recording parkside the content is good but the is Is it worth it? Is the question we have to ask ourselves. The wildlife wildlife is the only risk in this location.
00:03:08
Think Fresh
But Ty, I also was driving to work today, um which when I work, when I say work, I mean this show. Yeah, I got to drive to the show, the the studio. I got drive 40 minutes to sit in the park with you. Yeah.
00:03:22
Think Fresh
um I was driving on the highway and I saw a deer with antlers walking on the side of the road. ah really? Yeah, i was like, what the fuck? i't seen I haven't seen one of those in a while. A deer with antlers in in an urban environment.
00:03:35
Think Fresh
Unless it's just its head and it's inside a pub. but Sometimes you'll see like a deer's head on the wall. okay. I thought I meant like the Glenfiddich logo. Oh, yeah. That's kind of... Yeah, it'll be on some scotch or something. exactly.
00:03:47
Think Fresh
ah No, I mean an actual petrified head. Taxidermied. A little taxidermy before you pay tax on your pint. A la original
Wildlife Encounters & Urban Nature
00:03:57
Think Fresh
Cactus Club, right? Exactly. Yeah. an ah So this was a live one.
00:04:01
Think Fresh
Yeah, we're looking at the Glenfiddich logo right now. I know I'm borderline alcoholic because I was able to pull a logo. Dude, you cued that so quickly. With deer on it almost instantly. And this is like not just a big brand. This kind of a niche and even in alcohol, you know? and Let's not forget Blue Buck.
00:04:16
Think Fresh
Of course. We got a couple options here. Oh, fuck. It literally looked like this fucking Blue Buck logo. Yeah, I bet. Like big old antlered buck. Big old buck. Big old mother buck.
00:04:26
Think Fresh
Mother of buck. This fucking guy just walking on the side of the road. I mean, I didn't see him. So like if he could have easily just hopped the curb and landed straight in my windshield and it would have killed me because his antlers would have went straight through. it yeah dude, you'd be getting pegged by those things.
00:04:42
Think Fresh
Oh, I've been getting pegged. That's always a risk. You know, I've been doing a lot of like big drives around British Columbia as I do. yeah I encounter quite a few of those seldom in an urban environment. Yeah. But obviously, oftentimes they they like They don't push the button before they cross the street. you know They're not using the crosswalks. They're just popping out everywhere. It's a bit scary. i almost drove over a coyote the other day. oh yeah It's scuttled halfway across the road. Then it it got cold feet, cold paws. Thankfully, i had to do a little swerve of action to get around there, but I'm pretty quick on the... I got a quick trigger finger with that kind of stuff.
00:05:23
Think Fresh
yeah dude skirt skirt you're not you're not afraid to put that matrix in sport mode kind of bend that corner whoa yeah dude it's almost like slow-mo matrix style going around wild animals morning who but in the toyota matrix yes the toyota matrix whoa i didn't even make that connection that's cool that is awesome yeah i only ever see wildlife in um in urban environments and then obviously the creatures at subway yeah you know you see a lot of fucking creatures in there oh yeah dude no you're we're seeing animals that uh like you cannot you with the listener cannot even comprehend that's right if you live in fucking new york you don't know what a deer looks like with antlers buddy let me tell you these things are scary they are gonna freak you looking um i've only i've only ever seen deer like in the city
00:06:12
Think Fresh
Yeah, well, that seems you're only ever in the city.
Debate: The Necessity of Guns for Protection
00:06:15
Think Fresh
Whoa, shit. your Urban lifestyle. no i've taken I've taken the same highway that you drive when you visit back home. and I didn't see anything on that road.
00:06:23
Think Fresh
No? Not even a moose. Not even, well, nary a moose. That's a pretty big... That would be a good find. Yeah, that's a grail right there. That is a grail. yeah Yeah, no bears, nothing.
00:06:34
Think Fresh
That's fair. I mean, it's all about time of travel, right? That's true. they like like Some people call it demon time, but I call it deer hour. but horny ones, big old horned ones, horned up deer, those ones are pretty rare. So to catch that in an an urban environment, that isn't that is actually a treat.
00:06:53
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Yeah, not far from your campus, actually. Oh, no way. That makes sense. Where we recorded maybe three, four episodes ago, is wild. Now, when you see a big old buck like that, do you get like a temptation? Do you get like this feeling inside of you like, m I want to hunt?
00:07:11
Think Fresh
Like, does that does it bring out those types of ah like suppressed emotions, desires? as So as a meatball marinara enjoyer, you think. I see an animal, I just want to shoot it in the head. I just assume like your carnivorous instincts are like they kick in there.
00:07:24
Think Fresh
You start, you start, you know when they're like always doing, they're pulling their fingers like a trigger in music videos. That's you, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I go. Yeah, but you're like pulling on your windshield wiper. Yeah, I actually point my windshield wiper fluid injector outwards.
00:07:40
Think Fresh
So it sprays in the car in front of me. Cool. That's fun. It's a cool way to ah engage in road rage. Innovating in that area. um Yeah, that happened on my buddy's golf when when the hose broke and it just came straight through the grill.
00:07:56
Think Fresh
It's pretty funny. Damn, aren't all hose broke? That's right, that's right. What was I going say? Oh, when I see a deer, I i don't know, I kind of go into like fight or flight mode.
00:08:10
Think Fresh
Like want to fight the deer? Well, no fight or flight. I haven't decided. You may want to fight them. You're decisive. i'm I'm still thinking about it. Like when you're on a hike, you're kind of like you enter a mode where you're just kind of like, I need to stay alive. Right. I'm I'm scared of something that might come up to my tent, you know, the middle of the night. I'm thinking about was that a bear that I just heard walking in the woods or or was it a fox?
00:08:36
Think Fresh
You know, two very different animals to deal with. For sure. For sure. like the other day i saw an owl that's cool i was like it was just sitting in the forest looking at me that's kind of a grail right there those guys are those guys are elusive totally and i was just thinking like wow it's just like game recognized game you just kind of keep it moving you know yeah yeah you both kind of like give each other the side yeah yeah it's like i won't fuck you up if you don't try to fuck me up yeah you know how could ah they could do some damage to you i know that's a little beak but it can it can So, okay. So you see a deer fork in the road.
00:09:11
Think Fresh
Do it. Literally. You might want to put a fork in that buck or it's fight or flight is the four in this road. I've played deer hunter in the video game. I know how to, I know how to headshot of those guys.
00:09:21
Think Fresh
Yeah. I'm sure you could, if you needed to in a moment's notice. Yeah. I actually fully understand why Americans love their guns. And I feel I have gun FOMO, you know, like what if there's guns that exist that I haven't shot?
00:09:35
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. No, well there's that, but also, like, I'm going camping next weekend, and I'm kind of wishing that I had a gun on me. You know, I'm going to, like, kind of a redneck territory. Right, right. You want to fit in, right? you want Not just fit in, but defend my my young.
00:09:50
Think Fresh
Right. You know, the women and children. Do your dependents. Yeah. Which is like your girlfriend in a 48 pack of Bud Light. Yeah. If it's 48, I'm not doing my job. yeah It's got to be down to 10 by then.
00:10:03
Think Fresh
That's true. But you've got to defend that homestead, you know? My resources. Yeah, you could pack pack or some weps, some light weps in there. Do you ever have gun FOMO? Or is it just me?
00:10:15
Think Fresh
Yeah. You know, I think about like different ways to feel alive and sometimes that's by unaliving, you know, or like shooting a weapon is like such a primal sensation, you know?
00:10:27
Think Fresh
Yeah. You're simulating warfare. Yeah. Kind of. And like, I don't know. We're not getting like the new battlefield for a while. so yeah Yeah, I guess so. I don't know. i like i'm a man I'm a peaceful man. course. We don't we don't intend to use the guns. It's simply um so no one can tell you nothing. and You know what mean? You just got to flash it a a couple times.
00:10:51
Think Fresh
Well, here's the thing, Eric. I like to believe that I can talk myself out of any situation. I don't think I need a little extra muscle. you know I just need Maybe a ah little extra lip service, if you will.
00:11:05
Think Fresh
so this is uh i hated how that came out yeah me too um but this is why i think i need a gun as the unofficial muscle of the pod oh i see i see you know asserted yourself you you're the one who is more likely to get us into a situation where i would have to brandish the firearm i see i put us in the situation you get us out that's a cool cool little dichotomy we got there it's kind of like ah bad cop and bitchy cop. You cough right right i know, it's like you're nipping at the heels of someone stronger than you and And i um and then I got to come in and be like, we don't listen podcaster to podcaster. We don't want any trouble, Joe Budden.
00:11:44
Think Fresh
Right, right, right. I think it's just bad cop and bad cop here, Eric. Because one, I'm getting us in a tight situation because I'm a bad cop. You're literally bad at your job. And you're going to bad cop us out of there with a little bit of muscle.
00:11:58
Think Fresh
Yeah, maybe. Maybe. I mean, the things you say to a sandwich artist, dude, I have to have to drop my glove sometimes. yeah Taking the gloves off. yeah Wow.
00:12:09
Think Fresh
Yeah. So, ah Eric, I was also on the road, did see a few deer as well this weekend. i was ian i was in the Kootenays as I spent some time there. And the Kootenays of Canada region is famous for one thing and one thing only. Do you know what that is?
00:12:27
Think Fresh
fucking your cousins. Nice. That's so funny. Kokanee beer. ah Oh, so, okay. It's the, um, the, the fluid that makes those cousins tempting.
00:12:43
Think Fresh
Cousin goggles as we call them. Cousin goggles. Drink few those kokanis and all of sudden, you know, Auntie Stacy's looking mighty fine. She's looking like a seven. She may be holding Haggard, but damn, she's an eight tonight.
00:12:57
Think Fresh
She's chain smoking cigarettes, but hey. I could take her back by one of those barns. just Do some damage. yeah Those hay bales are awfully comfy.
00:13:08
Think Fresh
Got a king size hay bale behind the barn. Oh, yeah. Damn, that's a really good bit. But I'll show her my prairie. Yes, the Cooney region. And that's where Kokanee beer is manufactured amongst the glacier capped mountains of the Rockies.
00:13:23
Think Fresh
And It's where the Blue Mountain of Coors comes from, doesn't it? It probably is one of those Rocky Mountains. Coors is American, isn't it? Coors is more of an American. That's like your Colorado mountains there. oh you know i think that's It's in made in the image of the i thought the Denver. right I thought they always say it's cold as the Rockies, though.
00:13:41
Think Fresh
Is that the slogan? Well, the Rockies, as arranged, does not have a... like ah jurisdiction by country it's cross border the rockies the rockies might even go all the way to mexico yeah no idea okay then when the mountains turn blue it's as cold as the rock hell yeah i love that that gets me fired up damn uh so yeah i love to have a crack a couple kokanee's couple of silver bullets yeah one in rome you know You know, i have to drink quite a few beers every day, Because my body doesn't create beer naturally, so I have to supplement.
00:14:18
Think Fresh
Yeah, yeah, electrolytes. Yeah, exactly. Just real quick, or quick aside, I bought like a 48-pack of beer last weekend. And the attendant at the liquor store was like, staying hydrated in this heat?
00:14:29
Think Fresh
I'm like, hell yeah, I get my
The Quest for Kokanee Gold Beer
00:14:31
Think Fresh
electrolytes in. Nice. Dude. Nothing like a liquor store employee to gas you up. Yeah, didn't even ID me. I know it was awesome. Damn. Anyways, back to yourself. They're never going to make you feel bad. They only ever make you feel good about what you're getting.
00:14:43
Think Fresh
Fuck yeah. Yeah, anyway, so Kokanee, it's blue chip Kokanee, blue can. They make a derivative version of this called Kokanee Gold, okay?
00:14:53
Think Fresh
Kokanee Gold is like the vintage. That's their like bit more niche option. Comes in a gold can. It's very rare. And you can't get it anywhere in our province because it's liquor board has not approved it for some reason.
00:15:10
Think Fresh
so yeah so i thought well i'm in the town that kokanee is produced i should probably be able to find some kokanee gold to bring home for you wanted to bring you home something you see no way yeah so ah unfortunately i'm here and fuck yeah you thought i was gonna edging me bro i was like waiting for you to pull a beer out of your pants yeah no i got no gold for you uh yeah dude the gold rush has gone dry but i went to so many different liquor stores asking And to the point where I even went to the Columbia brewery where they manufacture it and tried to acquire some and nothing, they will sell it by the pine.
00:15:44
Think Fresh
So if I can show back up there with some growlers, I'll get you some next time, but I would need to grab it and then long haul trucker that shit immediately to your house so that it doesn't go flat and no promises. They won't dip into that on the road, right? Pretty tempting. Damn. Well, I really appreciate you trying. I did like not so subtly hints that I wanted you to bring me back some and you,
00:16:06
Think Fresh
Sounds like you tried and you remembered. So I even know some people that work at the brewery and I tried to get them to acquire me some of this contraband cocaine gold and they said they can't even get to it. Like this stuff is so elusive.
00:16:18
Think Fresh
And now that it makes me want it more. Now all I do is this this is my new favorite beer. All I want to do is drink this beer. I'll get it. I've just pulled up a photo of it and it looks like it's an amber lager.
00:16:29
Think Fresh
is little bit different from normal cocaine. Right. Cocaine more of a piss. piss yellow it's piss yellow this is a bit tinted you see yeah gotcha yeah a bit of a rose that sounds really good yeah it's a fire it's pretty good that kind of uh reminds me of when i was in sapporo this year in japan they had um like so obviously sapporo is from the city of sapporo makes sense they have the uh brewery there and they make like a special hokkaido version cool which they sell in all like the 7-elevens and stuff but they also do a very special like original brew at the brewery that they would have made like whatever hundreds of years ago when they uh stood up the brewery the family recipe the original recipe which you can only get on top there and that stuff is pretty funky man it's awesome see how they did it back before they gmo'd barley yeah exactly so it it was before they had refrigeration so they to like pack it in ice and and whatever
00:17:23
Think Fresh
which which is why they chose Hokkaido. It's up north, right? That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. So yeah, super cool. So I imagine like Kokanee has very similar lore in that sense, which is pretty cool.
00:17:34
Think Fresh
That is pretty cool. I feel like all of these kind of like, like we know the Coca-Cola recipe is like decentralized across multiple vaults in the United States. I think all of these, like, do you think the 23 herbs and spices at KFC are just like written on a piece of paper in the CEO's office? Or do you think it's like,
00:17:52
Think Fresh
locked up in a guarded like isn't it's in there's gotta to be like a fort knox for publicly traded companies is like recipes and secrets mm-hmm yeah i mean good question i'm sure it's like uh on a need-to-know basis you know like If you're on the C-suite level at Sapporo Industries, then maybe you're in possession of the recipe and therefore you're able to pass it down as needed.
00:18:17
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's true. But Ty, whenever I go to my in-laws, they have this like special edition can. And as a resident of this area of D.C., I want you to tell me more about Is is it like a real heritage can.
00:18:32
Think Fresh
Have you seen this before? yeah yeah. Okay, Eric pulled up a picture of Kokanee Beers current can, which is a throwback to their original can. Like this is their old logo with that goofy ass looking K. The gold one.
00:18:45
Think Fresh
The gold one, yeah. And the gold trim. yeah So that's what cans used to be like. And then they woke, made it woke. And they put, yeah, they put like it on a script kind of like angular font.
00:18:58
Think Fresh
And they added more like high. risk Yeah, yeah. We're looking at a high risk, you more fake glacier peeling to like and they probably made this change around the same time the iPhone came out have like velvet backgrounds on our notes app.
00:19:11
Think Fresh
Yeah, I'll be honest. This one looks colder. It looks so refreshing, doesn't it? There is like something about a can of kokanee beer that is like that shit's ice cold looking. Totally. And so this current retro cam that I just pulled up, I guess it's like a limited time thing.
00:19:27
Think Fresh
Potentially. it mean, that yeah i would that's a ah good guess. I think it's a lot i think is honestly a like recession indicator or like an indicator that a brand's not doing so hot when they're like pulling on the archives to try to bring back the vintage material as an attempt to kind of rekindle that relationship with the audience. Subway's doing the same thing right now.
00:19:45
Think Fresh
We're seeing a lot of the vintage subway ah like logos coming out because of the Happy Gilmore thing. Oh, yeah. And so they're like tapping back into that. And it just kind of feels like they know they strayed too far from their original and values as a business.
00:20:00
Think Fresh
And now they're like, hey, if we resurrect this, maybe we can. resurrect our clients yeah no honestly it's fair fair play um i'm only under the impression that there are no new ideas you know i mean you're kind of just rehashing the same stuff or maybe just creativity is at an all-time low think that might be the case yeah we're like redoing movies know i mean like every movie is a sequel or a or a remake you know yeah Gilmore 2 I don't want to watch the live action Lilo and Stitch no dude no have you seen Lilo though damn what does Lilo look like lot of visual you're pulling lot of visual media for an audio media podcast okay Lilo looks like she's five years old so scratch that scratch that from the script yeah um
00:20:48
Think Fresh
Yeah. So like, what's up with all of this derivative content? Like, can we just get some original work again? Or have we reached such a point in late stage capitalism that it is impossible?
Critiquing Modern Media Creativity
00:20:58
Think Fresh
Like we couldn't, if we tried, you know what they need to their live action remake of, um,
00:21:05
Think Fresh
the fucking the fucking rug surfer the rug rug rats no no no the the carpet muncher who the hell is that uh aladdin what oh dude they did do a live action remake already really yeah i feel like they've done a live action remake of every 2019 yeah every cartoon that's done it but what about the chick what about her i could have done better because the cartoon version of her is way better oh you want a baddie i see yeah i don't think i don't think disney's gonna pull a jasmine jasmine uh dude i don't i don't think that's disney's play though is to like overtly objectify it was it was it was at some point they've strayed from that maybe they need to bring back that nostalgia yeah you've seen the like disney subliminal message rabbit hole on youtube
00:21:54
Think Fresh
No. Really? Sorry, dude. ah My conspiracies are not typically film-oriented. I love film conspiracies. Mine are more about airplanes. Yeah, and coincidentally them flying at into buildings, right? specialize in that type of conspiracy.
00:22:09
Think Fresh
Aviation geek here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, dude. Fucking Disney. It could be. This was before AI, so I actually believe it. Okay. But, like, if you, like, freeze frame certain movies, there's going be, like, just, like, random dick in the movie. No way. Yeah. Like, the the artists at the time, though, they snuck a little dick pic into a cartoon one, I'd imagine. Mm-hmm.
00:22:34
Think Fresh
Check this out. Top 15 subliminal messages in Disney movies. Interesting. And you're telling me this happened like before like like tentacle porn in Japanese anime started?
00:22:45
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. I don't know. Watch this. ah Okay, I'm watching. Ready? Okay, we're looking at cars. Oh, hold on. This is the intro, sorry. Okay. Go to the cars. Oh, here's the Aladdin. Hold on.
00:22:56
Think Fresh
You gotta check out Aladdin. Oh, these are numbered top 15. You're telling me that there's going to be subliminal thing here. I don't know, man. I don't buy it. Where is it? Circle it.
00:23:09
Think Fresh
and know I it. I want to see the Cars one. Chao. Yeah, yeah. I doubt that there's... Route 66?
00:23:21
Think Fresh
Route 69. Yeah, I'm looking for it. What could it Is it in the mountains? Well, the problem is, they're probably seeing it if we have video music. Oh, shit. Okay.
00:23:32
Think Fresh
I believe you. I believe you. Like, because if I was an artist at Pixar, I would be tempted to work something in. There we go. So you look Lion King. Oh, I see. Okay. So Eric's pulled up the Lion King, like DVD picture.
00:23:46
Think Fresh
And the clouds in the sky of it, you can kind of, it's evocative. Mufasa is being portrayed in the kind of like a spiritual way. But if you kind of squint, you can see woman's backside. Right, a thick booty kind of in the sky there. It's an all-time classic.
00:24:04
Think Fresh
The Little Mermaid's original like VHS cover has a bit of a ah phallic looking like throne, Poseidon's throne. Yeah.
00:24:15
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's a nice find. I mean, like I think we're stretching here a little bit, Eric. I feel like there's a lot more. You can find anything you want if you look hard enough, I think. Like, if you want to find a bug in your sandwich, you can find a bug in every single sandwich. You just got to keep looking. you're eating You're munching on bugs every single foot long.
00:24:33
Think Fresh
I guarantee it. Yeah. If you look hard enough, you can find dirt in your foot long, too. Yeah. Yeah. You'll find a few dark secrets in there. Yeah. I had a dirty latte today. Yeah. I saw that. It was like, it was gray.
00:24:45
Think Fresh
It was eerie. It was a hojicha latte. Hojicha. Which is, i think... I don't know when we talk about like the matcha wave, I mean, 50% of it or more, i think is due its striking green color.
00:25:00
Think Fresh
Oh, definitely. That's why Hojicha, which tastes the exact same, is not doing nearly as well. That's because it's like looks brown and it just kind of looks like a iced mocha. Yeah, it's got almost a sickly disposition. So when I first got mine, I just had a glass of iced milk and like a huge glob of dirt on top.
00:25:17
Think Fresh
Nice. That's what mine looked like. A real cup of mud. Yeah, quite literally. I had to shake that thing in order to drink it. Damn. So did it hit though? do you Does it beat matcha? ah I think so. i think it has a nicer taste.
00:25:31
Think Fresh
yeah um It is quite dirty. Like gritty. Like it tastes like dirt. and There's no sweetness in there. I didn't put any sweetener in mine. right That's how I prefer it too. Nice and bitter.
00:25:42
Think Fresh
It's just roasted matcha basically. So it's got like ah just more of a I don't know, smokier, roasty taste. Gotcha. Matcha, the chopped and screwed mix.
00:25:53
Think Fresh
Exactly. i had an ice cream form in Kyoto. Oh, sick. was quite good. That's fun. Yeah. Yeah. Man, what form will matcha take next, Eric? I know we don't need to get into that.
00:26:04

It just doesn't stop. I mean, what is the matcha of Subway? Is there a performative sub?
Subway's Meatball Sub: A Humorous Take
00:26:10
Think Fresh
It's got to be the meatball. The meatball is kind of the matcha, but I think they the meatball doesn't get nearly enough airplay.
00:26:16
Think Fresh
but it's not The meatball isn't showing up in the ads. They know that the meatball is like, they don't need to talk about it. People will order it. the meatball give my I think the meatball is Subway's dirty little secret.
00:26:30
Think Fresh
It gives the wrong impression of what they stand for. You know? Yeah, it's like, um yeah, kind of an unexpected thing that no one talks about. It's like, we don't have to market it.
00:26:44
Think Fresh
We know you know we have it. Yeah. It has a fan base and they're coming there for it exclusively. And it's so different from everything else. It's a little bit of a black sheep in that regard. It's the only sandwich that discourages veggies.
00:26:57
Think Fresh
Yeah, it's the only sandwich that like is just about piling on the meat. you know like There's other fast food chains that kind of play that game, triple patty.
00:27:08
Think Fresh
think arby's think about like a giant ass whopper or are the wendy's bacon eater bacon eater yeah um meatballs kind of playing that mama burger this is just patty basically pat yeah shitty burger shitty burger so the bacon like the meatball isn't a like subways that's not their like positioning in the market so they they're not eating fresh if you're eating the meatball You're eating the opposite. You're eating the oldest meats they had reground up and distributed into balls.
00:27:37
Think Fresh
That's right. Yeah, even the deli meats, they're claiming to have sliced them that day. Yeah. Meatballs, they... a it's what's a little white lie? You know what mean? like We're just going withhold some information.
Exploring Plant-Based Alternatives at Subway
00:27:49
Think Fresh
It's 50% true. And that 50% is that it's shaped like a ball.
00:27:55
Think Fresh
Everything else is questionable. But, Eric, because of that, you're not going to see the meatball in an advertisement. You're going to see a more fitting or fit meat. You're going to see the deli slices. You're going see a nice chicken breast.
00:28:11
Think Fresh
Things that... things we all know breasts sell you know in advertising so it makes sense they would do that oh yeah oh you're totally right about that time um I don't think a meatball is in my future ever again. you you are you Would you promise right now on this live mic to forego meatballs for all of eternity at Subway?
00:28:36
Think Fresh
At Subway, yes. I promise to never eat the meatball again. Wow. I'm going to try to tempt you. um do the Does the impossible ball count? I don't think so. Impossible.
00:28:48
Think Fresh
If that ever graces the menu again, i will be all over that. Yeah. I mean, I would be more scared of that, to be honest. That's fair. We don't know what's in that either. They're not even trying to tell us what's in that, you know? At least that one says meat, which I generally have a sense of what that means.
00:29:03
Think Fresh
They should totally turn the veggie patty into a spreadable format and then have an ice cream scooper to make the meatballs on site. Ooh, like a pate. Yeah. but You can ask for it in ball form or spread.
00:29:16
Think Fresh
That's kind of cool. It's kind of fun, right? And they got a bunch of cookie cutters too. can even get one that looks like a snowflake. Mm-hmm. ah
