Introduction and Welcome
00:00:49
Think Fresh
ladies and gentlemen, or should I say gentlemen and gentlemen, breadheads and breadheads, and of course our condiment crusaders, whoever you may be.
00:01:00
Think Fresh
Welcome back to Think Fresh, the only podcast where we take food way too seriously and also not that seriously at all. I'm your host, Ty, and we're here with my co-host, the gluten guru, the deli philosopher, the guy who's not legally allowed in three different subways, my co-host Eric. How are you doing, Eric?
00:01:19
Think Fresh
Wow. Round of applause for that intro, Ty. I consider myself a gluten-free gooner, actually, but um thank you so much, dude. The glutey goon, yes.
Subway: World's Largest Bakery
00:01:29
Think Fresh
um Before we jump into today's episode, Eric, I just want to take a moment, a moment of silence, a moment of reflection, to remind everyone in this world that Subway still exists.
00:01:40
Think Fresh
And I think that's an important acknowledgement because it's mostly just bread that they're selling. I think that's wild. Wow. we It's just bread. It's just the world's largest bakery, if you think about it.
00:01:55
Think Fresh
And they're hiding that under the guise of the hoagie.
00:02:02
Think Fresh
Hoagie hiders. Yeah. What's up with that? It's just bread. They're just selling bread. They're selling bread. They're selling produce. They're selling produce, sort of. the Produce is free. Produce is free. Don't forget that.
00:02:13
Think Fresh
So it's a... what is that called when a bunch of bums line up for free food? What's that called? It's not a soup kitchen. It's called a free meal of sorts, yes.
Economic Disparities and Privilege
00:02:26
Think Fresh
Ain't no such thing as a free meal.
00:02:27
Think Fresh
as our forefathers would say. paying with their data. They don't even know it. Yeah, they're they're giving up their personal information, whatever have left of it. um but ty we're actually paying for it with our tax dollars someone and someone pays somewhere down the line that's right and it's definitely not the one percent it's us it's crazy how like the kind of uh i guess like bottom of the pyramid in other countries they make our life amazing so that we can pay to make the through taxes the bottom of the pyramid in our country
00:03:03
Think Fresh
to lift them up you know right it's important to remember even though we feel like we're bottom feeders here on ah in north america at the end of the day we're still but top one percent of the world that's ah an amazing privilege that i reflect on every day i think eric always tells me he says my worst day is always my great grandpa's best day and i love that perspective you told me that first and then i I kind of co-opted it and I've been telling it back to you and then now you're saying it's my thing. i've I've given it to you. It's a brilliant thought that just completely grounds one. You donate so many ideas to me and I thank you
Scent and Dining Experience
00:03:38
Think Fresh
for that.
00:03:38
Think Fresh
also want to remind you to tie that there's 27 billion people in India.
00:03:43
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's insane. Isn't that insane? That is insane. All 40 billion of them smell the same, too. Wow. ah they don't I don't know what the apothecary industry is like in India, but like we are so privileged to have so many different...
00:03:58
Think Fresh
It just like takes on vetiver here, you know, like everyone is doing like some sort of freaky Santel twist. We have just the the world is our nostril really when it comes to the sense we sent opportunities in North America.
00:04:15
Think Fresh
Yeah, no, that's a great indicator of, you know, cultural prosperity. It's like, how many scents can you choose from, if any, to brighten up a room, you know? Do you think, Eric, like, of course you should always smell good, but when, and like, when you go into a restaurant, you know,
00:04:32
Think Fresh
Is it important to be scent neutral as like as an entity in the restaurant?
Dress Codes in Restaurants
00:04:40
Think Fresh
Like you'd obviously don't want to smell scent detracting, but you don't want to accidentally add aroma to the restaurant as well. Do you?
00:04:47
Think Fresh
Probably not. It's a very delicate balanced tie because when you walk into a restaurant and You're looking at all the girls like, give me a hug, give me a hu hug. You gotta smell good for the hug, right? you don't wanna be sniffing the Santa Maria Novella from across the table, because that could ruin a meal. That could ruin the spaghetti.
00:05:05
Think Fresh
Yeah, I think that's the idea, right? You want to practice scent discretion. Yeah, dude, it's a fine balance. That's why they never have scented candles on the top of the Cactus Club. Two two top, you know what mean?
00:05:17
Think Fresh
It's always a you know nice little tea light. and then Something oil burning. Exactly, yeah. Something that will last long. And I try to practice the same thing at home, know mean? little tea light candle on the dinner table and then That's when we dip into the Loewe after dessert rolls
Kitchen Scents at Home
00:05:34
Think Fresh
around, you know? Right, right, right. I like the Loewe's tomato program as like an app in lieu of an appetizer, you know, just like the tomato candle. Just smelling like a garden. Exactly. Nothing like heirlooms and basil.
00:05:47
Think Fresh
Yeah. I want to turn that big-ass zucchini I gave you into a candle. That'd be sick. Awesome, dude. Follow that thing out. Fill it with wax. Yeah, dude. I actually really like that idea.
00:05:59
Think Fresh
Have you done anything with that zucchini I gave you last episode? Yeah. Previous episode there it gave me the world's like, like first place at the fall fair zucchini. This thing was huge. Um, I don't know what to do with it. It's still sitting on my counter.
00:06:10
Think Fresh
going to let it sit another day. And then I got to slice that bad boy open and figure out, figure out how I'm going to consume it. I want to use every part of the animal, of course, from tip to tail, tip to tail.
00:06:21
Think Fresh
ah but yeah, I've been just like dining out a lot this week. Too many social obligations are keeping me away from my home and away from my knife set and away from my gargantuan zucchini.
00:06:36
Think Fresh
It's weird because that thing has got a gravitational pull, actually. it's It's impressive that you're able to stay away from it. Yeah, dude. If I get too close to it, I go into orbit.
Dress Codes and Restaurant Ambiance
00:06:45
Think Fresh
So you got to be conscious with the smell that you carry, bring that you bring into your restaurant. But what about the apparel, Eric? We don't really ever talk about this, but do you think restaurants should have and enforce a dress code?
00:07:02
Think Fresh
Restaurants, should they enforce dress code? I think they should. um i don't think Subway should. You know, there's definitely a line where it's like, if I'm if i'm stepping in for a quick bite,
00:07:15
Think Fresh
You know, I got be able to do that at any time, right? Maybe I need a shirt. That's about it. Shirt and shoes. That's pretty baseline. the typical Typical rule. Yeah. um But if if I'm going to a nice sit down restaurant, i don't necessarily want to sit somebody like where I can see their dogs. You know what mean?
00:07:34
Think Fresh
What do you, by dogs, you mean the toesies, the wigglers, all 10 inches? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, okay, I get what you mean. The foot the footlongs, if they're raw, there a little that could be a little bit unappetizing. Totally. That's why I stay away from patios with glass tables, Ty. don't want to look down and see. Oh, that's so messed up. Yeah, you're right. All glass tables actually are kind of weird at restaurants. Yeah, to be able to look through that and see, like, the people you're dining with is crotch. I can see my mate's moose knuckle.
00:08:03
Think Fresh
his hairy legs and like the the havainas you know poking through the big toe it is a bit whack to be just trying to like look at this like beautifully plated beet salad and then right next to the just like if you change your depth perception you can also see the bulge of your friend yeah yeah all i gotta do is refocus yeah yeah when i reach down and try to grab a chicken nugget i miss the plate i'm like wait second bash my hand on the wrong nugget bro ah Yeah, so you're pro dress code in that regard. but Yeah, exactly.
00:08:37
Think Fresh
Okay, here's my take on it, as I do have one. Okay. I agree. Oh, fuck. i think Well, that's all, folks. Let's go pay some bills. All restaurants should have a dress code, even Subway. I think every restaurant should have a recommend... It doesn't have to be strictly enforced, but they should offer a recommendation of what to wear there.
00:08:57
Think Fresh
Okay. So oftentimes, like if you go to, like I don't know, ah restaurant downtown LA like go to like catch or something they're gonna tell you no so no open-toed shoes dress business smart beyond that like do whatever you want and that's like a appropriate amount of guidance but it doesn't always have to be like that like if you're going to like a cool like fun Cuban restaurant maybe the dress code is like you gotta have a pop of color to come in here there's no such thing as a fun Cuban restaurant I sorry to inform cause they don't have any season there's no food in Cuba that's worth eating you're right Maybe if it's a Mexican restaurant that's a pop of color.
00:09:32
Think Fresh
Maybe if it's a like, maybe you go to like Annalena, you have to have at least one designer streetwear piece on in order get in there. You're not getting in there unless like Virgil Abloh's quotations are on your outfit.
00:09:46
Think Fresh
Right. You need some kind of zip tie
Managing Restaurant Ambiance
00:09:48
Think Fresh
attached to your sa to your person. Yeah.
00:09:52
Think Fresh
Oh, fuck. So I think what should be happening I think we need right reform in the dress code domain for restaurants. We need people to come to the table and say, hey, we are trying to cultivate a vibe here.
00:10:07
Think Fresh
And this is the vibe. And these are the this is the apparel that you will wear in order to concentrate that vibe while you're here. Does that make sense? No. Keep going.
00:10:18
Think Fresh
oh We'll keep going then. ah So the dress code is always formal to informal. That's only one spectrum. There's other ways it can go.
00:10:28
Think Fresh
And there's all sorts of like nuance to like the atmosphere of a restaurant or a dining experience. And I think you just got to like, I think the restaurants need to step up and they need to tell people how to, not just they what what they think the specials are and what the features and what to order, but like how to present yourself while you're there.
00:10:47
Think Fresh
Because they're picking the music, they're picking the decor, they're picking the mise en place, you know? Yeah, the ambiance. you're You're totally right about this, but how can one influence the vibe of a space through simply their clothing choice. Like, obviously, if a, um you know, frontline policeman is in there, that changes the vibe a little bit. I can't talk about my personal business, high business. Yeah, you're right, right. g I gotta, yeah, I gotta be careful with the illegal things that we talk about.
00:11:20
Think Fresh
I'm also, shouldn't make any sudden movements or else I was like could get, you know, a knee on my neck. Right, right, right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you got to be careful with ah your your words and your order. and your But aside from that, Ty, like any any other way to affect the vibe? Like, i I don't really get it, Ty. Where are you trying to go with this?
00:11:44
Think Fresh
I just want to be able to like dress up a little more when I go out for food. Like, I feel like I wear the same outfit to every restaurant because it doesn't matter. And maybe it should. I think you have the power to do this already. You don't need to wait for subway to tell you to overdress.
00:11:58
Think Fresh
You can just overdress yourself. And the reality is you're never really overdressed, are you? but My sandwich is overdressed. There's like five sauces on that thing. Dressing aside. Saucy tangs. Dressing aside, are you how are we how are we pulling up to the next subway function? Are you going bib on from the when you walk in or or what?
00:12:20
Think Fresh
Yes, I'm a bib gore man. uh eric what talk to me about this what is the ideal dress code like if you had to enforce a dress code there what would it be do you want to like play into the like laissez-faire amalfi coast it's pseudo italian vibe that they're doing like the uh dolce vita type of thing Or maybe it's the Milanese urbanite, you know, like smartly dressed khaki pants, like leather loafers. It should be like pity when you go in there.
00:12:55
Think Fresh
Yeah, maybe just a bunch of dudes with like sweater vests, loafers, very smartly tailored trousers. Yeah, yeah. 100%. one hundred percent it's like Everyday cashmere type vibes.
00:13:11
Think Fresh
I mean, that's one direction you can take, but I'm thinking what makes but might make more sense for Subway Thai is to lean into the Italian-American Sopranos kind of vibe. Oh, okay. Okay.
00:13:22
Think Fresh
So what's a typical motif of the Sopranos? Gold chains. Ooh. Okay. Cigar in hand. Yeah. I'm talking like polo shirt all the way unbuttoned, chest hair kind of popping out.
00:13:34
Think Fresh
Gotta be a little fatter. Yeah. huge gut do you gotta dress a little fatter yeah um oh yeah maybe some loafers no socks ah the sport mode is also kind of a cool sopranos play like you're talking about kind of like the uh um the like if you're doing business but there's also this kind of sport mode with the track suit and the white tank underneath the gold chain that's like that's a smart look totally yeah you gotta got get the prada linea rosa version you know yeah totally put the re-nylon down and pick up the, what do you call it? Lineariosa?
00:14:09
Think Fresh
Sounds like a Harry
Humorous Dining Scenarios
00:14:11
Think Fresh
Potter spell. It's Italian. This is some whack-ass, I'm looking at Sopranos pictures online of outfit inspiration. And yeah, this is so cool. They look like a bowling team.
00:14:21
Think Fresh
Yeah. Who do you think you are? I am. So that is giving. This is awesome. Like this is every option you got. You got this guy is like got the smart look of the t-shirt tucked in the Laurel Piana trousers.
00:14:36
Think Fresh
The one homie on steroids got the real tight V-neck. This guy's literally wearing a shirt. That's the pattern of like a roller rink. Yeah. Like that's like the carpet of a Chuck E. Cheese.
00:14:48
Think Fresh
Yeah. Or like a movie theater. Yeah. Yeah, dude. It's a 90s kind of like sitcom style. Mm hmm. Yeah. I think it would be the ideal subway.
00:14:58
Think Fresh
You're absolutely right. i I know. I'm misjudged. And you know the reason, Ty? It's because like any one of these T-shirts are just disposable. Like you can probably put them in the toaster and have them just and get incinerated after your meal if you spill a little bit of sweet onion ranch on there.
00:15:13
Think Fresh
But if you got the, like, Loro Piana cashmere or pullover, like, that could be real dangerous if you get a little splooch on there. Yeah, no, totally. Like, you want to wear, like, a really bad oversized suit that you copped in a estate sale.
00:15:26
Think Fresh
Because, like, you can just send her back when you're done. It's all... already like had a life it's on borrowed time now yeah you just leave it in the subway taking all your clothes off at the end of the meal might actually be a good move yeah some people like like to loosen the belt loop after a foot long but i think the move is to just get undressed completely yeah dude i'm not i'm not walking out of here with these clothes on like i'm not bringing that energy and that aroma back into the civilian life And the great thing is you're not, you're never gonna be the first person to get naked at some point.
00:16:03
Think Fresh
I wonder how many nudists a typical sandwich artist has interacted with. Oh God. That's a lot of salami. That's a lot of cured meats. Oh fuck. Yeah.
00:16:16
Think Fresh
What else is going on, Eric? What else is going on?
Cyclists and Road-sharing Issues
00:16:19
Think Fresh
Well, Ty, I got into a pretty nasty shouting match on my bike ride the other day. You strained in the vocal cords? I wouldn't say I strained them.
00:16:28
Think Fresh
I would say I had to unclip furiously. Unclip? Unclip. is Is that a metaphor for anger? It's a metaphor for this disembarking my bicycle. Oh, so it's a literal metaphor. Yeah.
00:16:43
Think Fresh
You're unclipping from the pedal. Exactly, yeah. um I was cycling on the roadway. As one does. Yeah, not not taking advantage of the...
00:16:54
Think Fresh
beautiful bike lane as our fellow gearhead was yelling at me about oh okay so you yeah we have a surplus of bike lanes here but you like you're ah you're petro pilled you like to ride with the whips that's right baby i'm i'm grabbing on to the guy's bumper you know and catching a free ride up the hill uh no i was um the thing is ty where i live bike lanes are a fairly new phenomenon. You know, there's a few that have been around forever, but a lot of them are not connected very well. So like if you take a bike lane, eventually just come to a complete dead end and then you got to like cross unsafely like seven lanes to get to the next bike lane or you got to like just bike on the street.
00:17:36
Think Fresh
Right. That's just kind of the reality of where we're at. It makes sense. It's pretty patchy of the stretcher. Totally. And I give them... of like TELUS. Yeah. yeah ty ran out of data today unbelievable it's unbelievable 2025 out of a data plan 2025 i have to fucking spot this guy dude this is it's so disgusting yeah hey there's honestly there's nothing cringier in 2025 than asking to borrow the wi-fi password yeah you're so lucky bae wasn't in the room because i would give her the in for sure yeah i gave myself yeah i didn't even want to tell you but i had to to get this episode up and running yeah
00:18:09
Think Fresh
um But anyways, I decided to take the roadway and connect onto a different bike lane. And this guy swerves and cuts me off.
00:18:20
Think Fresh
like And he's a cycle head too. He's also cycling. No, he's in a big body dually. What does that even mean? A truck with six wheels. Oh, I see. Yeah, big fucking truck, dude. He brought the metal to your pedal.
00:18:35
Think Fresh
Precisely that time. It was like if a if a rapist white van was a cross crossed over with like a typical subway enjoyer's like main truck form of transportation, like a truck.
00:18:48
Think Fresh
That's the kind of like pickup we're talking about. Like white, old, smells like burning fuel. um Cuts me off on traffic. Yeah. And then rolls down the window. He's like, like we have a fucking perfectly good bike lane. Why aren't you using it?
00:19:03
Think Fresh
Whoa. And I... i We're at the stoplight now and um I just get off my bike and start fucking shouting at the guy. I was not having to do it. This was, i kid you not, less than five minutes into my ride. Wow, what a way to start. I had gotten on my bike, pulled onto the road, stopped at the first light, and then fucking started screaming at someone. You had just enough time for the adrenaline of the pedaling to start picking up the heart rate. Totally. I wasn't able to fuel before my ride, but this gave me enough energy to kind of keep going.
00:19:31
Think Fresh
Well, let let's walk through some of your debate points. ah tell Tell me about like in bullet point fashion, how you convinced him that ah you were in the right. Unfortunately, he wasn't very responsive to my really well articulated points time. But I was screaming in this guy's ear that the bike lane that he very much loves does not connect to where I need to go.
00:19:54
Think Fresh
And if I take the bike lane, then I have to wait at the crosswalk. cross the street and then cross again four lanes, four lanes traffic with no light, no nothing, busy intersection and rush hour just to get back to where I wanted to go.
00:20:09
Think Fresh
Or I can simply hop onto the road for ah good five minutes and then be where I need be. um Not to mention that the road width accommodates bikes and cars.
00:20:20
Think Fresh
and archcha Gotcha, gotcha. There's no issue here. And the guy was waiting at a red light anyway. I could have kept going and passed him, but and I decided to stop because I had time that day, Ty. I had time to get into it.
00:20:31
Think Fresh
but That seems like a pretty rational case you presented. Did you present it rationally or irrationally? I would say very irrationally. A little flustered? Yeah, i was I was not having it with this fucking redneck dude.
00:20:45
Think Fresh
Yeah, I bet. And the guy wanted to guy kept assuring that he was also a cyclist and I kept assuring him that he was a fucking redneck. It was not my finest moment, but I think I got my point across.
00:20:58
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude, it's sometimes it's hard to get through a conversation without making an incestual comment. Yeah, totally. um Yes, I had a few choice words about his choice of a living situation as well. But anyways, we I was able to get away from that confrontation unscathed.
00:21:17
Think Fresh
That's good. You never know whether they're packing any heat in the glove compartment or like a hunting, some hunting equipment, maybe. Yeah, it was kind of a cool. Yeah, that's great great point. If we were in Texas, I would not be stopping. No, i would just never keep on rolling. keep rid You would never ride a bike in Texas. real hair No, I would be in his truck.
00:21:35
Think Fresh
yeah But um it was weird to bookend my ride with confrontation and then on the way back when I had stopped my bike ride I got a nice compliment no way somebody walked by and was like nice s bike dude no way yeah that must have felt great it felt great tie it was great to end on a high note wow and and did you say I will pass the compliment along to my bike no I said do you hear that big guy and I gave it a little pat you have a couple of pats on the seat yeah that's good boy
00:22:09
Think Fresh
ah Oh, geez. Oh, geez. Yeah, man's best friend is two wheels. Yeah, so that was my chain that was my night. I had a bit of a... Highs and lows.
Community Among Cyclists
00:22:20
Think Fresh
High gear, low gear.
00:22:22
Think Fresh
Well, this is the thing. like This is your like and this is like your underprivileged minority group is to be a cyclist. you know For me, it's been always been vegetarianism, but for you, it's the bike lanes. Yeah, easy to hate.
00:22:37
Think Fresh
and i think it's a commonality. Hard to advocate for, but you're out there doing the work of the community. You're getting in the saddle. You're defending your position. Totally.
00:22:48
Think Fresh
I mean, so often, Ty, when I'm out cycling, I understand why people hate cyclists. like You kind of like just adopt the really annoying shit that cyclists want to do, like not stopping and stop signs, um taking the lane when there's no space on the shoulder, things like that.
00:23:06
Think Fresh
Riding on the sidewalk. Riding on the sidewalk. I love riding on the sidewalk. Dude, if there's no fucking space on the road, I'm taking the sidewalk. But in this case, no sidewalk. sidewalk, only space. was close this guy's truck. I was close to this guy's truck.
00:23:18
Think Fresh
He had plenty of room. i don't know why he was being a loser about it, but um yeah, I can see why people hate cyclists. I'll just say. i think everyone hates the form of trans. Everyone hates all other people in transit.
00:23:31
Think Fresh
Like when I'm in a car, I hate pedestrians. i hate cyclists and I hate the other commuters. When I'm a pedestrian, I hate the people I'm walking around, the cyclists and the automobile drivers.
00:23:42
Think Fresh
And it sounds like when you're a cyclist, you don't really, maybe you like the other cyclists, but you probably are cyclist. As a cyclist, you tell me. You tell me. Where do you stand with the other the other groups?
00:23:54
Think Fresh
It's a band of brothers out there, Ty. Oh. Yeah. You see another cyclist, you give them a ima high five? Oh, do yeah, dude. Yeah. Dab them up? I've been practicing my aura when I wave to other cyclists. I've been working on different kind of handshakes. So it's like the motorcyclist group where you're waving at every cyclist that drives. Yeah. Or truckers.
00:24:13
Think Fresh
bus drivers. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Special comedians. all understand each other. But yeah, but when you're biking and you pull up to a red light with another cyclist there, you take a gander at what they're working with. You know mean? You ogle them? You ogle the carbon wheels.
00:24:26
Think Fresh
Really? you're like, yeah look at that carbon fiber frame. Damn, slim. Nice and slim. Yeah, you take ah take a peek at the Garmin bike computer. Like, how many kilometers are you clocking today? Right. Are even clocking me, bro? Right, right. You're seeing their phone-mounted Strava app is open. Exactly.
00:24:41
Think Fresh
I can see that they came all the way from Cyprus or something. you know i mean? I see, I see. yeah Yeah, there's lots to talk about when you pull up to another cyclist. And do you Rizom up? You throw them complos too? Because you're looking for some complos back.
00:24:54
Think Fresh
Oh yeah, dude. Whenever I like pull up next to an old lady on e-bike, I let her know it's a beautiful day for a ride. and she's like And she's always so happy to hear that. Oh yeah, I'm sure you're a hit with the e-bike community too. yeah, dude. Especially the plus 60 crowd. Yeah, yeah.
00:25:10
Think Fresh
yeah That's a really interesting world to be in where you're just fishing for cold flows. You're gassing each other up. Everyone's just happy to be in the saddle. Oh, dude. Yeah. it's It's the best part of my day every time I get on the bike.
00:25:23
Think Fresh
Wow. But Ty, you're no stranger that too. You're also famously ah very prolific Moby user. That's right. i'm ah I'm a public bike program, bike share program. Enjoy here.
00:25:33
Think Fresh
Hell yeah, dude. Uh, and maybe part about those bikes is I think there's even a, I think they're like a little bit like ostracized in the cycling community. Cause when you see them at the, I can tell when I'm sitting on a city bike share program bike at a stoplight and there's other like real in quotation cyclists next to me, I can tell that they're like, they don't want to engage me.
00:25:57
Think Fresh
They don't, let um they don't care about who I am. They know I'm a tourist in their purest world and I'm okay with that. Uh, But because of that, I feel like I don't have to, I even, the rules of the cycling road and the culture and the principles, I don't have to abide by at whatsoever. Like even more so, like I can cut people off and go the wrong way down one way streets. I can do whatever I want.
00:26:23
Think Fresh
Right. You get a pass. You get a complete pass because you're just an idiot on a bike share. You're a complete loser idiot. Mm-hmm. And you kind of you kind of embody that kind of persona the minute you sat and that sit in that saddle.
00:26:35
Think Fresh
I think so too. um But Ty, I'll say that I think you're you are a cyclist. You're part of the community as well. i mean i We welcome you with open arms. um Anyone who furthers the need for bike lanes or like pushes that pressure, places that pressure on our, you know, people in power employ more bike lanes, bike infrastructure, um road safety in general, I think it's a great thing.
00:27:01
Think Fresh
So.
E-scooters and Regulation
00:27:02
Think Fresh
I appreciate that. Yeah. We got the DEI program in the cycling community. It's very, uh, inclusive. That's right. What's your take on unicycles?
00:27:12
Think Fresh
I saw one yesterday. no way. Like on a seawall. That's crazy. No, on a Hastings. Okay. That checks out. Yeah. um And in the East scooter community, are we, are we, are you guys, is it a turf war with the scooters?
00:27:25
Think Fresh
These scooters are, they can go, they gotta go, right? Yeah. They can go crazy. um e-scooters are not welcome on this part of town uh i i feel like every time i walked on the sidewalk i'm gonna get clipped by an e-scooter they're gonna run over my toes or i i feel like everyone every person on an e-scooter i assume is a purse snatcher as well yeah like it's such a ah good purse snatching apparatus yeah i mean usually i'm pro like i don't know quiet and efficient ways to get around town, which the e-scooter is.
00:28:00
Think Fresh
But i don't know, man, something about like just pushing a button and reaching 30 kilometers an hour instantly um in a bike lane where I got a I got a pedal. I'm slow off the line. You know i mean?
00:28:13
Think Fresh
It's kind of a hazard, to be honest. It is a hazard. And it's too much power. twoish It's great when I'm ordering off Uber Eats, though, and it shows up in seven minutes. That's the only kind of bad thing. is I think we need the e-scooter companies to start gatekeeping who is allowed to own them or not. Like, I think you should, if you're going to own an e-scooter, strictly for business, no pleasure,
00:28:35
Think Fresh
death I don't think people should be getting pleasure from these scooters. yeah Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, there's too many really fast ones. I think we've got put a speed limit on them. Yeah, because at a certain speed, you should probably be on the road and not terrorizing the bike lanes.
00:28:54
Think Fresh
And like if any municipal body is listening right now, no one is doing anything about these things. But this is like our chance to like figure out ah Paul like there's literally two guys on an e-scooter going like 25k oh here comes another two just ripping down the sidewalk no helmies how do they even fit there that guy's
Future of Personal Transport
00:29:15
Think Fresh
groping that other guy's chest just to hang on dangling yeah dude um I don't remember the last time I've like fallen off my bike, knock on wood, but I have fallen off any scooter.
00:29:26
Think Fresh
Yeah. you You just like lick the curb on it and you're going down. You're flying off that. Yeah. I fucking smoked some chick on a bike on my lime scooter when I was in Paris. Nice. Yeah. And that was pretty bad. And we were riding two on the scooter.
00:29:41
Think Fresh
Because it's so tempting. You can never fit two on a bike. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and this is like a prototype for governing bodies to figure out the regulation here before like personal aviation takes off.
00:29:52
Think Fresh
Because we're probably like two years out from everyone's e-scooter getting upgraded to like an e-helicopter. Or like a... Or like an eat like ah like a one person carrying capacity drone.
00:30:04
Think Fresh
You know? Yeah. I mean, i think we're well on our way to like having e-helicopters, personal size ones to just kind take you from. guess those are drones. Yeah. The personal the personal pan plane, basically.
00:30:17
Think Fresh
Personal pan. if they if if like no one no one in government is figuring out how to regulate these stupid scooters like we're all going to be crashing into each other like at cruising altitude. Oh shit dude.
00:30:30
Think Fresh
Yeah. Right when the finalal meal is starting you know you get fucking T-boned.
00:30:36
Think Fresh
Yeah dude. You're trying to eat a tomahawk when you get hit by a tomahawk missile. Dude speaking of ah getting T-boned in the sky this Air India flight.
Air India Crash Conspiracies
00:30:45
Think Fresh
Oh yeah the Air India flight that went down. We almost didn't talk about this. Yeah so like Okay, there's lots to cover here, but the first thing I want to start with, Ty, is like how come the building that it crashed into didn't go down?
00:31:00
Think Fresh
interesting yeah no one's talking about no one's talking about how um 787 could take down two world trade center towers but not a two-story building in fucking Bangladesh or whatever it was immediately after takeoff so perhaps we hadn't hit like Mach 2 that point you know right it was going traveling full speed into trade center tower one They were still revving the engine.
00:31:25
Think Fresh
Yeah, this one was, yeah, they were slung their landing gear down, I think. I think so. So we could attribute it to that, or we could explore the conspiracies. I'd like to do the latter. Yeah, hell yeah.
00:31:37
Think Fresh
I think, honestly, like, maybe Indian building material is just a little bit more... Isn't India, and like, most of it, a like, earthquake zone?
00:31:48
Think Fresh
Maybe that plays a role. it is? I don't know anything about anything, dude. so ah du The only earthquake zone that I'm aware of is the one that we're in, Ty. The Pacific Ring of Fire.
00:32:01
Think Fresh
Is that what they call it? That's a crazy name. that what it's called? The Pacific Ring of Fire? Yeah, it's like the entire like circumference of the Pacific Ocean like tectonic plates. That's why Japan has so many earthquakes. That's why the west coast of North America has right and so many earthquakes. Frequent earthquakes and active volcanoes. There you go.
00:32:23
Think Fresh
Like Mount St. Helena. Yeah, so we got tons of those bad boys along that. Ring of Fire. Yeah, that's that's a cool name. A little bit like Over the Top.
00:32:36
Think Fresh
But that's okay. I like the flavor. i don't know. It's like such a hellish term. you know it implies It's very foreboding. It applies like a kind of a doomsday that we live in.
00:32:48
Think Fresh
well i Since we were little kids, they've been preparing us for Doomsday, which is when the big one hits here in BC. That's true. There's been a lot of fear-mongering around this thing. you know Predictive programming for this.
00:33:01
Think Fresh
yeah and i love how they keep saying, like oh yeah, it'll definitely happen. There's a 100% chance it'll happen in the next 2,000 years. It's like, okay, great. Definitely need to drop everything. yeah for that have to live in fear now because of that. If it happens, it happens.
00:33:15
Think Fresh
yeah Also, it's like not my fault that you built so much infrastructure that's not earthquake proof. Yeah. Like I haven't built any infrastructure. ah Like I got no assets to protect here.
Mysteries of Cloud Storage
00:33:26
Think Fresh
Everything we've built tiai is digital and we'll survive the big one. Yeah. Like even though big earthquake hits, there will still be 450 think fresh episodes.
00:33:34
Think Fresh
You know, we're on minimum. We're in servers in every country. We got backups. Yeah, that's right. Do ever think about like where all the internet is stored? Like this like random like like nude pic that I sent.
00:33:47
Think Fresh
Where is that being held? You know? Right, right. Like it's on the dark web for sure. yeah like where is that? Where's the hard drive? You know? So a lot of people tell me it's not anywhere on earth. It's in the cloud, which is I'm assuming up in the sky.
00:34:05
Think Fresh
okay Yes, but I think that's just a marketing term. So you don't think the cloud is in the clouds? You don't think it's just floating in the air? No. Yeah, you're probably right. I think it's on a server in Saskatchewan. Didn't that happen when sales force went down?
00:34:24
Think Fresh
Like there was like an earthquake in like Washington or something. And then Salesforce, I know they were like doing some construction and they like chopped the cable and then everyone's website went down for eight hours. I do, I kind of remember that. Yeah.
00:34:36
Think Fresh
Turns out that I guess the entire internet is not in the cloud. It's just i ru like rudely. It's buried under Capitol Hill. Yeah. Simply tied together with cords. ah Yeah.
00:34:47
Think Fresh
I don't know, dude. I think like all of my tasteful news are just like sitting on a server in rural Pennsylvania right now. You know, or like, yeah, where is Jared from again? Actually, is he from there? I think so. he's It's on Jared's laptop. that's on Jared's server farm.
00:35:03
Think Fresh
Or like, I don't know, like some Saudi Saudi Arabian, like mega server farm. who It's in like the sitting on a computer in the middle one of those like black, ah like pillars that they see in like the desert and like, I was just outside Dubai. Right. An obelisk. Yeah. An obelisk in the UAE is called all of our data. Yeah.
00:35:24
Think Fresh
That's crazy. No one really cares. ah that's That's actually the crazy thing. It's like, no one really knows where it is or cares where No one's ever asked? No one's asking. And like, what if, is there backups?
00:35:36
Think Fresh
There must be backups. Like, isn't that kind of weird? Like, you sent a spicy iMessage to your sneaky link and like, it's on your phone. It's on their phone. It's on like, like Tim Cook's like personal hardware i don't really know where else it is like it would be really cool to like ping all the spots that this this information is that would be cool i think huh interesting there's also definitely a database of every single sub you've ever ordered and the cost of it and what ingredients you've consumed i would love it if they pulled up the order history on that yeah i want to see my lifetime spend at subway how many how many inches shit
00:36:18
Think Fresh
How many times have you circumvented the globe? Like they're like, yeah, you've had seven football fields of sandwiches. Yeah. Holy shit. And like my body can process that. It's the insane. The human body is incredible.
00:36:32
Think Fresh
i always get excited at ASOP when they ask me like my number. Cause I just know that the orders are going to pop in when they pull that up. And right that's when they show with the most respect, you know? Yeah. Put some respect on my username. Exactly.
00:36:46
Think Fresh
ah You're so right, though. like you You almost want to establish that credibility when you first enter.
Tracking Subway Orders and Humorous Speculations
00:36:51
Think Fresh
like This is a good use case for facial recognition. You walk into the apothecary, they use either a camera to catch your face or some sort of fan to pick up your signature scent. Either way, they ID you as Eric, and then they can service you the Eric way.
00:37:11
Think Fresh
Can we get Mike involved? yeah
00:37:15
Think Fresh
Mike's way. Mike's way. Dude, have you seen you've seen all those fucking the ordering ah Jersey Mike's. Mike's way. Jersey Michael. Yeah. um I don't really understand Mike's way.
00:37:28
Think Fresh
ah hi I don't question it. I don't question his philosophies. I just don't understand it. There's a recent trend to find as many ways as possible to order something Mike's way.
00:37:40
Think Fresh
So like when you ask the your sandwich artist, you go, it's like, oh yeah, that'll be everything. But ah could you let Mike have his way with myself? I can consent to Michael. Yeah. Tell Mike there is no safe word.
00:37:52
Think Fresh
You know, shit like that. Tell Mike he can have me and in whatever way wants. yeah have his way with me. Yeah, exactly. Interesting. Yeah, I've seen this. So what's Jared's way?
00:38:03
Think Fresh
that's the that's the ultimate That's the ultimate question. The penultimate question. um I don't know. What do you think it is? Well, it's um fresh.
00:38:15
Think Fresh
It's young. It's equally fresh and unfresh. Yeah, he likes the baby spinach. Yeah, he's um he's ordering the kids meal. Um,
00:38:26
Think Fresh
making maybe Maybe taking like unsolicited pictures of your sub out back and then giving it to you. know yeah yeah Up the bun. He wants the up bun angle.
00:38:38
Think Fresh
Yeah, he's spreading the bun, taking a pig and then putting it back in the wrapper. yeah He doesn't want to close those buns up. Leave it wide open. little upskirt steak. Damn. Anyways, that's been an episode of Think Fresh. Yep. Another one for the books. Redheads, thank you for listening. see you next time.
00:38:55
Think Fresh
Bye-bye.
