Think Fresh
bread heads bread heads bread heads tie in eric back in the booth aka the park side picnic table for another episode of think fresh we got the bi-directional mic working properly today it's in uh it's called duet mode which i think is hilarious no one does duets anymore it's always it's always like this is a feature not a duet i don't know man i think we're in six inch mode six inch mode tell me more about that I mean, 12 inch. We got two halves of the same sandwich.
Industry & Anonymous Corporations
00:01:19
Think Fresh
Yeah, Ty, we're we're calling from the park here. And it's kind of crazy because We got some anonymous corporation and next to the park here that is creating industry that we don't really know what it is.
00:01:32
Think Fresh
How do you feel about it? I feel like port side industry is always the most ominous of all forms. But yeah, I'm very curious about what they could possibly be building over there. I think that there should be a rule that all manufacturing buildings that they have...
00:01:50
Think Fresh
a like big sign or plaque or some sort of public way to like learn about like what the hell is going on because these buildings are always so weirdly shaped. It makes me so curious and I just want to be able to be explained it.
00:02:03
Think Fresh
need eight my meta glasses to look at this and then see what all those silos are for.
TV Shows & Innovative Housing
00:02:08
Think Fresh
Yeah, you just you just really want to invest, don't you? yeah i want to know if I should like. They're dropping some coin on their stock ticker. Yeah. Who do I address the check to, you know? Yeah, exactly. um But yeah, it's ah we're looking at a few silos here.
00:02:21
Think Fresh
And i don't know if you've seen the Netflix show or the Amazon Prime show, Silo. Silo. It's a very dystopian future where people live in them. They live in the silos.
00:02:33
Think Fresh
That's right, because the outside is radioactive, Ty. It's post-nuclear war. And we're basically living in living in the Soviet bunkers that we built, what, 50 years ago?
00:02:44
Think Fresh
Okay, I thought maybe this was another one of those creative solutions to the housing market. Oh, I see. So it's much like a container apartment building? Yeah, yeah. This is like the silo. We've converted a silo into a loft-style one-bedroom.
00:02:56
Think Fresh
Well, that's cool because technically they had all these studios because you require windows for it to be a bedroom. That's true. Unless the top of the silo has been blown off. The penthouse suite.
00:03:07
Think Fresh
Hell yeah. but Is that actually the rule? You got to put a a window in there to for it to really count as a bedroom? I think it needs a window and a closet or something. Interesting. Yeah. And a door, obviously. Yeah, of course.
Real Estate Market Humor
00:03:20
Think Fresh
Yeah. It's kind of funny that like none of the requirements for a bedroom are like the ability to fit a bed. Like theoretically you could make with those three requirements, you can make a bedroom the size of a chair.
00:03:30
Think Fresh
I mean, don't quote me on that. Maybe there is a requirement for square footage. Maybe got to fit like a twin size bed, the the long way, right some in some kind of orientation. But yeah, I don't know. I actually checked out an apartment that was listed as a two bed.
00:03:46
Think Fresh
And then I walked in and then I was like, where's the second bedroom? And it's over here. But it was just a room with no window. wow I was like, I think this is illegal. I feel like more people need to stand up to the scummy real estate agents marketing these things.
Wealth & Pantry Humor
00:04:00
Think Fresh
100%. And tell them what you actually think it is. pantry yeah this is a pantry my guy yeah i mean two uh chefs like you and i right we could use that we could use all the pantry space we can get a walk-in pantry did you ever go to like a friend's house and i had a walk-in pantry like you know your friend's rich when they have that shit oh hell yeah you i'm talking about yeah yeah you can play hide and seek and hide in a pantry behind like the costco side granola boxes and cereal boxes and when you're in there you're just thinking yourself wow this is all corn It always was.
00:04:31
Think Fresh
It always was, King. Damn. My corn storage container. That's my bunker. Yeah. um Pretty wild stuff, though. Like...
Media Scandals & Corporate Loyalty
00:04:40
Think Fresh
You just open up a door into a world of dried food.
00:04:44
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. Like what a wild My own private grocery aisle. Yeah. One day we'll have pantry money, Eric. But until then, we're yeah we're trying to we're still trying to put a window in our bedroom. yeah You know what, though? Like there's other ways you can get creative with the bedroom.
00:04:58
Think Fresh
In the bedroom. Let's see. Let's see. Okay. So here's something no one's explored yet. The everyone is always sleeping 100 percent horizontal, exactly 90 degrees.
00:05:11
Think Fresh
And I don't think like maybe that's the ideal sleeping style. According to b Brian Johnson, apparently. But like if your bed was just like a little bit more angled, you could save some square footage.
00:05:22
Think Fresh
And I bet you there's a sweet spot there where you can get the angle like 18 degrees, 19, 20 degrees. and you're saving space but you're not compromising sleep quality. I don't know which way though.
00:05:33
Think Fresh
Like are you letting the blood rush to your head or to your feet? big difference I think that's up to you to decide on my teeter-totter mattress what works best for you. But it's kind of like if you're like a back or shoulder sleeper you know.
00:05:46
Think Fresh
Right. Up to you. So I've never heard anyone call it a shoulder sleep position. What do you call it? Side sleeper. Side. That makes more sense. Yeah. Well, it's on my shoulder. You lead it with your shoulder.
00:05:57
Think Fresh
That's true. um I mean, it's kind of like those hospital beds, actually. You just like you could totally just have like an L shape. Have you thought about that? An L-shape is great. That's so usually where I fall asleep is in my L-shaped couch every night. Oh, yeah. It's no different. And there's way come it's way better to fall asleep on the couch. We all know it.
00:06:14
Think Fresh
Yeah, why is it that I have such a better sleep on the couch than bedtime? Yeah. because you never have a bad dream on the couch. All the nightmares are in the bed. That's true, yeah. All the demons are hiding in my closet, not in my TV. Yeah, they're under the bed, are all the monsters.
00:06:28
Think Fresh
Yeah. Damn. Speaking of demon time, Ty. Oh, no. um i don't know if you saw this, but... uh espn host shannon sharp has been fired from his job um i don't know if we may may or may not have reported on this already uh but he was uh he got got by a only fans snow bunny oh interesting i think i heard a little bit about this through grapevine uh so this is a common baiting tactic by only fans models right you find a like d-list celebrity exploit them a little bit yeah have them exploit you yeah consensually and then take them to court just like this microphone it's two-way you know exactly so their duet exploitation that's right shannon sharp took his 12 inch and and uh
00:07:19
Think Fresh
and Yeah, this this woman, so basically she defeated the final boss. Like she kind of completed 10th prestige as a certified snow bunny.
00:07:32
Think Fresh
Basically started the OnlyFans, lured a rich person who is high profile. um Basically lured them.
00:07:42
Think Fresh
so i don't know if this is true or not. Allegedly. I'll just say alleged allegedly. Allegedly, yeah. Basically, he was saying some wild shit over text that was not legal. o and And did some things that were questionable.
00:07:56
Think Fresh
I don't know the full details, but um basically, got... got like a settlement or you like he offered her some money to like shut the fuck up. take it But then yeah ESPN was like, that's not good enough for us. And he got fired. So, and then she got to retire from OnlyFans after getting the like $20 million dollars or something from him.
00:08:16
Think Fresh
So both of them, their careers ended, but for different reasons. Yeah. They both were retired. One of them was honorably discharged and the other guy just discharged. if You get what I'm saying? I get you. That's clever. Thanks.
00:08:29
Think Fresh
Uh, Well, this has got me charged up. What a story. Yeah. What do you think, dude? Like, do you think ESPN is right for letting him go? I mean, he's just got some kinks, man.
00:08:40
Think Fresh
I mean, like, it's so tough when you're like such a media, like, persona because you really represent yeah ESPN at the end of the day, you know? That's true. You got to wear the colors of the flag.
00:08:51
Think Fresh
And ah so I understand their position and wanted to distance themselves from it. I completely yeah empathize with all corporations at all times. i feel so bad for the shareholders.
00:09:03
Think Fresh
Yeah. um I'm on the opposite side of this, Ty. I think that yeah ESPN is bullshitting, dude. they're they're They're playing it one way and not and not keeping it real on the other way. Because if Shannon Sharp is doing good things in his personal life and he's boosting his aura, then they benefit off of that. But as soon as he does something questionable, he's out of the door.
00:09:23
Think Fresh
That's true. There's no loyalty there. There's no loyalty. I mean, like, loyalty aside, I genuinely think it's a bad brand play for ESPN to drop the guy. Or anyone who has, like, a cancelled member in your roster, if you drop them for that...
00:09:38
Think Fresh
Like all press is good press at the end of the day. And I think once this blows over, you're only going to have more people. There will be outrage, obviously, but it's just going to bring more people to your platform because they want to see what this freak has to say.
00:09:50
Think Fresh
They want to see what the inside mind of the sicko and how he ticks, you know, people are people are so ah magnetically attracted to this type of kind of. person like so I think I think they made a mistake I think their viewership will suffer as a result of it I totally agree I mean they should have taken a page out of Nike's playbook because I don't think they've dropped Kobe.
00:10:14
Think Fresh
They did drop Tiger. They didn't drop Tiger. No, they know. They ride for their troubled athletes. Yeah. Nike doesn't care what kind of trouble it gets in, you know. as long as you're putting up triple-double at night after for night. Hell yeah. It's like the shoes are flowing, you know what mean? Yeah, as long as you're winning majors, you're winning for Nike.
00:10:30
Think Fresh
Exactly. So, I mean, ah kind of like that. You know what mean? Athletes, mean, Chan Sharp is a former athlete. She's obviously dealing with stuff. All men are former athletes just in some regard. That's right. Some just make money off of their athletic pursuits and others don't.
00:10:46
Think Fresh
My hope is that after we retire this podcast, which I consider a form of athleticism, that I can ah use my likeness. I can rent that out. I think that's a thing yeah celebrities do.
00:10:58
Think Fresh
Creativity is a sport at the end of the day. That's a fact. A nimble mind is required. yeah the The brain is the strongest muscle, and so is the tongue. Those are the two things we need to keep that keep that red light blinking.
00:11:11
Think Fresh
I guess so. Hell yeah. Um, uh, well, Eric, I got a few interesting things going on right now. Yeah. Talk to me. Okay. I actually have to confess. I've been telling people that Eric is short for Derek.
00:11:23
Think Fresh
what What? I think it's funny. Okay. In reference to me. In reference to you. Okay. Like, Oh, Eric, his full name is Derek. That's what it stands for. Most baristas say Derek when my coffee's ready. So they're not wrong now.
00:11:38
Think Fresh
Yeah. it's mostly baristas i'm informing oh cool okay that aside derek wait a second are you talking to the barista that we know we both all of our mutuals think your name is derek all of our mutuals okay i don't think all of ours believe that but well i'll let you go uh eric eric derek uh i gotta ask how are you avoiding the anime conference that just rolled into vancouver
00:12:04
Think Fresh
God damn it. What steps are you taking to shelter in place? Well, let's see, Ty. I've built my algorithm brick by brick. and i Scroll by scroll, like by like.
00:12:15
Think Fresh
I'm glad that I have done that because I had no clue that this was in town. ah whats What's happening with that? I don't really know because I as well have ah very carefully...
00:12:26
Think Fresh
ah made sure that I don't get too much exposure to these types of viruses. um But we did see a man in a furry suit on a motorcycle driving in the opposite direction of us, which was good. meant We were going in the right direction.
00:12:38
Think Fresh
We were going left, we were going right. Exactly. And that's what triggered my memory that this this was unfolding this weekend. And I know nothing about it. I don't know what type of cartoon they're all celebrating.
00:12:50
Think Fresh
i don't know what what there is to even celebrate about a form of media for children. don Yeah, I don't really know, dude. I think they should all be arrested. just The police should just raid whatever conference they're at and just send them all to jail.
00:13:05
Think Fresh
um Inexcusable behavior. Yeah. um Yeah, pretty wild stuff, man. But um what would you do if a furry cut you off in traffic? Like, would you just let that happen?
00:13:17
Think Fresh
would you would you Or would you try to dominate them? but They would love that. yeah I think is you've got to disengage, dude. Discharge, if you will. um Because you know why?
00:13:29
Think Fresh
You don't need more. Anytime you spend talking to a furry, it's like, that's... more chance you may be consumed by their culture, you know, soaked into it.
00:13:41
Think Fresh
You got to avoid that at all costs. you are You don't want to get soaked by any kind of fruit. No. ah Top five people you spend the most time with is who you will become. So you got to avoid, you want like 0.000% time spent.
00:13:55
Think Fresh
But what are the chances, Ty, that we know somebody who is secretly a furry, Because I know that if they were upfront about it, we wouldn't be their friend. But it's possible that one of our friends has a secret life.
00:14:07
Think Fresh
and We have a secret podcast. That's true. And you know what? A lot of people have secrets that they don't share. Like I learned today that 25%, one in four North Americans hate eggplant. and i wouldn't have guessed that i i love it so i'd say people got secrets people got preferences they're not revealing that is an interesting statistic um you googled that in front of me and i remember it's seeing i remember it saying uh using like data from reddit and like that's something that i want to talk to you about in general i don't know if like reddit should be used as any kind of quantitative metric
00:14:43
Think Fresh
because you got to be a real specific kind of cat to be posting shit on Reddit. you know what I mean? To be letting your opinions be heard on there. Oh yeah. To have an opinion and feel like that's the place to put it.
00:14:54
Think Fresh
Or just be somebody who like puts their opinion anywhere. That's true. And isn't like, you know, One of us. I mean, like what's great about this podcast is that this is a closed system. It's one to many. There's no chance for dialogue back and forth outside of this microphone. We're not interested in a conversation. Exactly. And I feel like that's kind of, I guess, would you say that's the the opposite of all online forums where people are inviting discourse?
00:15:19
Think Fresh
I would say, yeah, that's the whole point of it. But even just the upvote system in general is like a form of feedback, right? It's true. I was actually thinking about this the other day. I want to make a social network that has no ability to interact with the content.
00:15:31
Think Fresh
You cannot reply. You cannot reply. it You cannot share. you can you can There's got to be a way to curate it, like what you see. Maybe not. Maybe it doesn't matter. I want to call it no comment. and And that's what it's all about. It's about this is one to many discourse.
00:15:45
Think Fresh
It's kind of like watching TV where there's no other engagement. You just change the channel. This is good, Ty. Thank you. This is good. um I think this exists in some forms.
00:15:56
Think Fresh
Likely. You know, I don't know if there's like a text based one because you're thinking like social media app that is like this, right? maybe this is just like a a skin for TikTok, maybe. Maybe it doesn't have to be its own platform. It's basically you're what I'm picturing is Twitter, but there's no reply or quote button. Yeah, exactly. Just...
00:16:13
Think Fresh
No more derivative discourse. There's too much of it. Even everything we're talking about today is because someone else talked about it online. We've got to find some. and Speaking of which, I do have ah another topic I would like to get to.
00:16:25
Think Fresh
But that is the problem in today's world, ti Nothing is an original thought.
Unique Culinary Discoveries
00:16:30
Think Fresh
That's true. You know, like how deep do we want to go? It's like every single sandwich you order has been ordered before, no matter what you order. No matter what culmination you create.
00:16:39
Think Fresh
Actually, I did have what I think was an original sandwich last week. No way. Yeah. um Did I talk you about how I ordered a Subway sandwich at 2 a.m. at the airport? No, you didn't tell me It was coming from Montreal. Yeah, I got off my flight from Montreal and I was pretty hungry. So I went straight to the YVR Subway.
00:16:57
Think Fresh
the airport sat down ate a six inch sandwich the one outside of uh security yeah that's a wild place to be i know because like some creatures there who's eating at the airport between security and the front door like you get in you go through all the steps and then you find the food yeah you gotta get there's an order of operations it's like i can't risk being late for my flight i gotta through security and then play smarter i always thought it was absurd that they even open restaurants on like the civilian side because Yeah, everyone who eats there is putting their flight, they're a flight risk, essentially.
00:17:28
Think Fresh
Totally. Anyways, I went there. The only way to get a sandwich into certain countries is into your stomach, though. It's true. but yeah ah Dude, imagine putting a footlong in like a condom but and then swallowing it like they do with little cocaine baggies.
00:17:40
Think Fresh
Whoa. Just so you can poop it out later to enjoy. yeah interesting Interesting stuff. I just really want to like eat 12 inches of sandwich in Cuba or something. I don't know.
00:17:50
Think Fresh
Okay. But anyways, what happened to that sandwich? Oh, yeah. So ah I wanted to add some honey mustard to the six inch sandwich. It was right in the middle of Veggie Delight, a little honey mustard.
00:18:01
Think Fresh
And then I asked the sandwich artist, I said to her, hey, is the peri-peri sauce really spicy? As she looks at me, doesn't say a word, grabs the peri-peri bottle and just squirts it all over my sandwich.
00:18:14
Think Fresh
I know. So didn't even answer my question. I had to i find out for myself. But what had happened was a happy accident, Aaron. Okay. Peri peri sauce and honey mustard sauce is actually and awesome combo.
00:18:28
Think Fresh
You can taste kind of highlight the high notes of both and you get a little heat, you a little sweet. It's pretty fun. And I don't think anyone's tried to put those two together yet. I think I might be the first on the scene.
00:18:43
Think Fresh
Honestly, you could be but it could be right because it's a new sauce, right? It's an unconventional pairing and it's a brand new product. So... Anytime you're the first person to try a new product, like no one before you has done that, right? So you would be the first on the scene. Beta tester. Beta tester.
00:19:00
Think Fresh
Emphasis on beta. Yeah. Beta meal right there. Yeah. um Interesting. So would you do it again? It's the real question. kind of want to. I kind of want to make that my thing. Wow. Okay.
00:19:12
Think Fresh
I'm that desperate for something original. um Interesting. Interesting. I think I did something new and fresh this ah but
Rehearsal Dinner & Social Norms
00:19:23
Think Fresh
two days ago. Okay. I believe you.
00:19:26
Think Fresh
So I've got a wedding and a family coming up. Congratulations to the lucky couple. Yeah. And we had a nice little rehearsal dinner two days ago. And i'm never I'm always confused why it's called a rehearsal dinner. Yeah. Do we like the rehearsal? I don't think we like the rehearsal dinner, do we? Yeah.
00:19:45
Think Fresh
I mean, it depends if you're actually rehearsing something. I can see why if there's like some choreography required for the big day, then yes, let's get everyone on the same page. Maybe couple of days before. Right. um But if there's no. thing If there's no like.
00:20:05
Think Fresh
requirements for me if i have no job duties that day no site uh instructions then i got to you know just giving me the time back right i could use the time back i could use the time back i actually don't think so because you do have a job your job is to eat and drink there and at the rehearsal you are rehearsing eating and drinking but if those eric are the only two jobs you need to do yeah then i think what we actually call that is a pre-game At least in my culture.
00:20:30
Think Fresh
That's true. That's true. Tolerance training. Tolerance training. Yeah, that's nice, actually. But then that would change the requirements of the rehearsal dinner. That's true. Then be getting obliterated and not, you know, having a one beer.
00:20:41
Think Fresh
But anyways, I digress. um here's Here's the fresh part. Okay. So it's at the venue, this ah rehearsal rehearsal dinner. And guess what we did for this rehearsal dinner?
00:20:53
Think Fresh
We brought our own food. whoa so Whoa. So this place is a restaurant that serves food and wine and beer and all kinds of drinks. They've got a nice kitchen and everything.
00:21:04
Think Fresh
In fact, we'll be eating their food on the wedding day. But on this rehearsal dinner, we brought like seven pizzas and like a bunch of pop and donuts.
00:21:17
Think Fresh
So you're like, this is like a really like classy affair, I'd imagine. Yeah, it's a beautiful place. You're obliterating it with like the kid's birthday party aesthetic. Exactly. That's exactly like a comment I made actually at the dinner table.
00:21:30
Think Fresh
um But yeah, it was pretty cool. Everybody at the restaurant was looking at us wondering how the fuck we got pizza. They're like, is that off the menu or something? Like, can I get some pizza? Right, right. Because they're all stuck with their like, I don't know, like their salmon with asparagus, right? Yeah.
00:21:44
Think Fresh
Exactly. salmon is not looking so good when you can smell pepperoni cups. yeah I'm eating the meat lovers. And this family down the table is yeah eating some random stuff like a chicken piccata or something. Damn.
00:21:58
Think Fresh
But yeah, it was it was great. It made me think, like, is that a power move to just be like, no, I'm only here for the vibes and I like to bring my own food. I think it kind of is. It really shows sense of self, you know, it's like what whatever you you're like pre-packaged, bootstrapped, out of the box kind of offering is, I don't want that. I'm a man of class and taste. i I desire things a certain way. So I'm going to need a barbecue chicken pizza.
00:22:25
Think Fresh
Exactly. um And um I was happy to do it. It felt great. Yeah, that probably felt so awesome to flex on everybody. delexs on Everyone's looking at you You're just munching with your mouth open. like yeah Like, you're kind of like, you kind of just don't you can be an asshole to you can kind of be a goofball with it because you're not even a paying a customer. You know, we didn't pay for anything. You're not even a customer. Yeah, you're just loitering there.
00:22:48
Think Fresh
Actually, we did buy drinks. We had a few beers to kind, to kind. Yeah. um But it was pretty funny because like a lot of people didn't order anything and just kind of were there for the vibe.
00:22:59
Think Fresh
That's awesome. Yeah. We've got a neighboring table playing some background music. I hope that comes through. That would be really nice. It would be nice. Play us out today. It's a quinceañera happening.
00:23:11
Think Fresh
Is it? I don't know. I don't know anything. That's kind of like when a, I don't know I'll forget it. Ty, we've got some more topics here. Yeah, we Actually, before we move away from bringing your own food to a restaurant, what would you bring to Subway to eat at the table?
00:23:28
Think Fresh
Should we bring quiz toast? That would be so sly. It would be. What a witty move. Yeah. A competing sandwich on on enemy turf. I think that, like, the idea of bringing something that's really hard to eat at Subway could be comical enough for a TikTok prank channel.
00:23:46
Think Fresh
Like imagine like you're trying to like assemble some pho, you know, you're trying to, you bring in the sizzling fajitas. Oh yeah. Right. Something that's really causes a scene or maybe some Palestinian food at an Israeli spot.
00:24:01
Think Fresh
Oh, I would go down real nice. Yeah. That might, people would be throwing arms and, and bread there. Yeah. Nuclear arms. Oh shit. Um,
00:24:13
Think Fresh
I don't know, man. I think at Subway you want to bring like if I said this before on Mike, like if I'm going to bring any ingredients in the subway, it's supplementary to the sandwich add ons that you black market add ons, you know, black olive market the material that they're not going to offer you, but you know, you can get aftermarket.
00:24:35
Think Fresh
Like what? Like I really want to just add some like mushrooms. ah Blue cheese would be fire. Maybe like a fruit, like a pear. You know, that'd be kind of fun. Some pear, blue cheese and walnut.
00:24:47
Think Fresh
Hell yeah. That's such a goated combo pairing that you just, you don't see in fast food sandwiches. And I, I don't know why. and that's also a pretty common combo on like bougie pizza spots too. And it's always a hit there.
00:25:01
Think Fresh
Yeah. The blue cheese dip. I mean, blue cheese unites cultures. Like, uh, like a so If it's ah in crumble form, typically you get your more affluent customers dip into that.
00:25:13
Think Fresh
um And then if it's a blue cheese dip, well, you know where that goes. Wings, baby. Duncan. Duncan the blue cheese. And nothing, the most unintelligent, porous counties in the United States. You know they're guzzling.

they're guzzling the blue cheese dip we're talking to you alabama are you guys still following good boy good boy now turn to page 58 but actually i think blue cheese dip is the most popular dip in america that's crazy actually when you think about it because cheese wise it's the least popular exactly it doesn't make any sense and it's also just like how could that have beat out ranch you know yeah great question but ranch kind of naughty like if we're being real real honest it's a naughty dip you think it's a little nasty it's not it gets nasty dude i i agree i've never met a ranch that i really like but i don't know i keep coming back to i fucking hate how people shit on blue cheese all the time it's my face but then they'll fucking dip their pepperoni pizza in some ranch yeah it's like you were a fucking freak for doing that
00:26:18
Think Fresh
Like, cause ranch is just like, I mean, i don't think it's got too much to say. I think that's the problem. It's not, it's a little creamy, a little zippy, a little herby, but it's it's loud though.
00:26:29
Think Fresh
It is loud. It's loud without nothing to say. Kind of like me that after four beers. That's true. It's like, not unlike this podcast. You're right though. It has not, it doesn't have too much behind. It's a small dog, big bark.
00:26:43
Think Fresh
Yeah. Ow. Oh,
00:26:48
Think Fresh
um At our one of our favorite lunch spots, Ty, there is a jalapeno dip um for the at the pizza station. Have you had that one? I like a little jalapeno ranch. Now we're actually like putting a little bite behind the bark.
00:27:03
Think Fresh
True. It's got a perspective. listen Maybe that's all ranch needs is ranch needs a feature artist, you know a duet. Right. Right. the Okay, well, one more thing I want to talk to you about, Ty. Yeah, of course. Our sister company, Budweiser.
Beverage Industry & Brand Loyalty
00:27:22
Think Fresh
It's not doing so hot these days. Oh, RIP Anheuser-Busch. and um but' Basically, what I'm learning what i'm learning here, today I'm paying a close attention to the markets, but Budweiser, their volume is down 2%.
00:27:40
Think Fresh
And I think that just comes down to millennials not drinking anymore. Nobody wants to drink anymore. I keep saying that. You've got to put the time in. Yeah, get those reps in. We've got to start pounding beers at every occasion.
00:27:52
Think Fresh
Why isn't that happening anymore? yeah Is it the craft movement? i We should have recognized that craft beer was the beginning of the end. But I think they've just got so much ah competition now, Budweiser.
00:28:05
Think Fresh
The craft beer's taking a slice. Matcha's taking a slice. Celsius is taking a slice. Ranch is taking a slice. Ranch. They're guzzling blue cheese. Yeah. cuzzling it um And then on top of all that, we're starting a recession. So people just don't got the ah spend.
00:28:23
Think Fresh
to They have to choose between their next footlong or their next six pack. who 12 inches or 12 cans. It's a really tough call. I mean, i think we it's hard to compete with Coors. I mean, that's the real thing. You think Coors is just killing Bud Light? Is it because of the Bud Light thing?
00:28:40
Think Fresh
The whole Bud Light thing, you know? What is that, Ty? The whole thing where no everyone was boycotting it. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to or not. I don't remember. Think for yourself now. um No, Ty, it's the allure of the silver bullet, obviously.
00:28:57
Think Fresh
40 packs are going for like... don't know, 36 packs are going for 40 bucks. That's a pretty good deal. Yeah, when on sale. So, I mean, a buck a beer.
00:29:09
Think Fresh
Buck a shuck on the brewskis. I mean, it's hard to compete with. yeah Yeah, that's true. well So, I guess, is it okay if a giant falls to see an empire crumble to watch Big Budweiser once the monarch, the king, lose their kingdom? Yeah.
00:29:27
Think Fresh
I think it was destined to fail. like yeah It had obviously a big run and then and nice little spike recently with all of the interest in the streetwear community.
00:29:39
Think Fresh
Right, right, right. Oh, dude, I got to show you this photo. I saw a great Budweiser merch t-shirt on the back of a guy the other day. On the back of a guy? the back of a guy. There's one thing that Budweiser's got going for it is that it is a heritage brand at the end of the day. It's got great typography. Great typography. I don't know if this is official or unofficial.
00:29:59
Think Fresh
But I'm gonna show you this picture you can kind of describe it to the friends. Doesn't that look sick? So let's just start with saying that this is a kind of a natural kind of taupe colored t-shirt. It's oversized. It's got like a warm gray to it. The dude's oversized as well. yeah But he's got some nice serif type on the back.
00:30:17
Think Fresh
Size 128. Yeah, striking large serif. It just says Bud. Bright Budweiser red. Good shit. Good shit. um If you want to pick up your own...
00:30:29
Think Fresh
ah merch that features a similar font. he You can go to thinkfreshpodcast.com. You might want to type in shop.thinkfreshpodcast.com and yeah got there either way pick up a crew neck with the King of Sandwiches font on there. It's not the Budweiser font. It's not quite the same thing. It's slightly different due to copyright. Exactly.
00:30:50
Think Fresh
um But anyways... Ty, anything else you want to talk about? i think that's everything I had on my list. I can save everything for another day. We got we got through a lot. This is a meaty episode.
00:31:01
Think Fresh
Breadheads, thanks for listening. Cha-chao. Cha-chao.
