Technical Tweaks & New Beginnings
00:00:49
Think Fresh
What a sweet, sweet sound. Oh, yeah, baby. We are tweaking the knobs. We're in the mix right now. no Diplo. Eric is constantly fondling the knobs on my microphone. He wants fondle on my knob. Yeah. Louder, quieter. Just pick a pitch, buddy.
00:01:05
Think Fresh
No kidding. um Bro. but This is crazy. New setup alert. Yeah, we're working with a NetNew MacBook. NetNew.
00:01:17
Think Fresh
NetNew. ah It's literally new net. I'm on new internet with this thing. MacBook Air Pro. deluxe 22 he's crazy i'm like my dad buying a new uh device yeah i got one of them new pro airs i think i think it should be a illegal for like android or samsung to sell to anybody over 65 because that is it's too complicated for a normal person to like understand their product assortment and features and then to like prey on the elderly like that they don't know what they're doing they don't know what they're buying
00:01:52
Think Fresh
They don't know what any of it means.
Simplifying Subway for Seniors
00:01:55
Think Fresh
And the same goes for Subway. don't what it means. I think there should be Subway's just for elderly, where they simplify the whole process. It's more focused on the deli meats, less on the sauces.
00:02:04
Think Fresh
Like, they don't... My dad doesn't care what sweet onion sauce is. What in the hoot is tikka masala? Yeah, exactly. Just give me the mayo and the mustard. It's simple. Mayo, mustard, ham, or turkey. Exactly. That would really resonate in, like, an older demographic. No.
00:02:20
Think Fresh
Even salami sounds a little bit too Muslim for me. A bit too, yeah, a bit too spicy. Salami-lakem. Yeah, dude.
00:02:28
Think Fresh
Yeah, i don't know about that
Life Changes and Podcasting
00:02:30
Think Fresh
one. um So there's my, and we're 10 seconds in. I've dropped my thesis of the episode. Yeah. So we can call it there. Absolutely. But what we should talk about, Ty, is our big rager of a weekend. Oh, hell yeah. I am still recovering from mentally and emotionally, Ty.
00:02:47
Think Fresh
Dude, we have a good flow here. We hang out, we talk about it. We hang out, we talk it. You could have infinite content. this but The weekly format, as we kind of figure out, you know, our new cadence, yeah big ah big life updates have happened the last month. so Mom and dad have something to tell you, redheads.
00:03:06
Think Fresh
You're going to want to sit down. We get you on weekends. Yeah, no, our life has fallen into turmoil. Big podcasting has brought a lot of ops into our life, and we're navigating that situation. So until then, our episodes are a little bit...
00:03:24
Think Fresh
sparse but we're gonna get back on track before you know it i promise we're not getting canceled we are uncancellable our fans don't care if we do something bad i've realized like like they know us better than that i guess you know yeah they're a real like make think fresh great again crowd yeah buddy pods are so back yeah hell yeah um yeah so rager what are we raging on besides this volume knob eric We're slopping on the knob and we're raging on the knob.
00:03:56
Think Fresh
Ty and I had a hell of a weekend. Oh, yeah. Should close the window? another There's lot of traffic. I don't think it's a problem. I'm not seeing it clip here. Okay, fine. I kind of like it. It shows that it gives a sense of
Seasonal Transitions and Halloween Vibes
00:04:07
Think Fresh
place.
00:04:07
Think Fresh
We're talking about Halloween. There's crunchy leaves on the ground. That's right. Yeah, Ty and I are in the demilitarized zone, which is the exact center between our that were two workplaces. Yes, that's exactly it um I like the sound of the leaves, Eric, because it's crunchy like the lettuce.
00:04:24
Think Fresh
Well, I don't think it's leaves anymore, Ty. We are now well into mud season in Vancouver, where the leaves just turn into a brown sludge.
Banana Matcha Latte Adventure
00:04:31
Think Fresh
Hell yeah. And you can't see the dog shit or human shit underneath it.
00:04:35
Think Fresh
How much espresso you drink today? What? It's mud season, buddy. You got triple your intake. I had three coffees today. Same. Nice. i hat yeah This is going to be super gay. I hope Patrick's not listening, but I had three espressos.
00:04:50
Think Fresh
And a banana matcha latte. Whoa! What the hell is a banana? What but what is a banana matcha? Is it ceremonial grade banana? ah The jury's out on that one, Ty.
00:05:03
Think Fresh
um the i think it's a flavored banana caramel. Yeah. And um but it it was topped off with some banana chips. Okay, but and it was mixed in with matcha.
00:05:16
Think Fresh
Yes. but when i um When I ordered this, the barista said banana. Banana. Just like a minion. Yeah, banana. I was like, see? Damn, I didn't realize they're hiring minions now.
00:05:28
Think Fresh
Like, make my beverage, you fucking minion. I can't believe that they're taking the minions are taking our jobs. That's weird way to call immigrants. Yeah. So, okay.
00:05:38
Think Fresh
Bananas are traditionally yellow, matcha, green. When these two colors come together, we get more brown. i think it's truly just you're going to brown town, whether it's coffee the leafy green.
00:05:50
Think Fresh
or the leafy leafy green well to be honest the uh green is so overpowering that the banana stood no chance to it but the caramel was very distinct brown so and that doesn't mix in it's just of like lumps yeah it clumps lumps and clumps there's some segregation happening in matcha town you know they're not assimilating the way they should with the caramels oh totally um Anyways, we were talking about Halloween.
Exploring Japanese Food Culture
00:06:18
Think Fresh
Oh, no, no, I got one more question here. Okay. you You've been Japan, Nippon, right? Yes, am. Are bananas big over there? Like, it's this leaning into Nipponese culture.
00:06:29
Think Fresh
Wait, why is Japan being mentioned? For the mochi. isn't Oh, for mochi. Because I'm just trying to figure out, like, because, like, the bat you we all know the best green leaves are from Kyoto. Of course, of course.
00:06:41
Think Fresh
But the best bananas are from Kauai. Yeah. from Nicaragua. Yeah. um I don't know. I don't think I've seen any bananas in Japan, to be honest with you.
00:06:53
Think Fresh
I'm to think if I might have maybe had a banana milk. That was actually did have a banana of milk in Sapporo. No way. Yeah, I did. They're like milking the little teats of the banana, juicing that out. I've never seen someone put a banana in a juicer.
00:07:07
Think Fresh
I can't imagine that being very good. but Really? Maybe. I don't know. Maybe not a juicer, but definitely a smoothie. It's like almost like a yeah, true. It is. But i always add a banana to my smoothies for texture.
00:07:19
Think Fresh
So if you're just straight up juicing it, you're juicing the banana. yeah your juicing yourana um You're not getting any of that sweet, thick cream. You're getting all, I'm assuming it's a less viscous, more viscous fluid.
00:07:35
Think Fresh
Yeah. but a wide thero would say. Yeah. just milk yeah there Anyways, yeah we can move on now. so please move off I'm done with my tangent. ah Hallowicked. Hallowicked.
00:07:46
Think Fresh
um Where do we even begin, Ty? We linked and built. I kind of want to start at the end and do a work back. Yeah, a great idea. So, Saturday morning fucking took a...
00:07:58
Think Fresh
Like got a hot bath and then ice bath. That's how I got over my hung hangover. Back to back baths. Kind of like an icy hot situation. Yeah, that's cool. the It's a very Norwegian spa routine. Yeah.
00:08:09
Think Fresh
The only way to get out of my hangover was to tap into the Scandinavian ways. Yeah, dude. Open up those pores and let all of those vicious toxins leave your system. You're ex you're
Hangover Remedies and Ride Adventures
00:08:20
Think Fresh
you're exercising yourself in a way.
00:08:21
Think Fresh
No, totally. Which is funny because you're kind of dressed up a bit demonic. yeah um i'm ashamed to admit it ty but i think this episode is going to be about me like confessing a lot of things oh great dude so far we have confessed the matcha i i am i'm totally game for that because we need to pop the hood on eric a little bit i always say too much um and it's good to know that you had to nurse presumably a hangover with a b2b baths on saturday sunday morning yeah um That makes me happy because I don't feel like you don't necessarily have a hangover. You always drink me under the table and I don't know what you're doing, but you're always fine the next day.
00:08:59
Think Fresh
must be the zinc. It's usually, speaking of Japan, it's the ah secret elixirs that they make over there. can get at the Konbini. I see. But yeah, Ty, I honestly felt totally fine. i was like...
00:09:12
Think Fresh
pretty fucking wasted the whole night um but i tell i never feel sick when i drink like very very rarely yeah um it was the 45 minute uber ride home that we took together that really sent me under don't know if you can tell but i went mute i did notice you were non-verbal the whole time but everyone in the cab was so except for like the driver who was quietly whispering into his ear the whole time to someone he was i didn't know i was focused on not dying Yeah, I didn't realize that I was nodding off. Bay was nodding off.
00:09:44
Think Fresh
I don't know what your Bay was doing. i think she was just like looking me out the window like la-di-da-di-da. She was ah not feeling well either. And that's because caught like when cars get stuffy and you're sitting backseat, it's a bad place to be. You don't want to be there. That's why you always record in the front seat of a vehicle.
00:09:57
Think Fresh
Totally. but um Yeah, as soon as the car took off, I just felt like rush of vertigo. Like suddenly the destination was ah million miles away and then it came back in and then it went back out. Right. it was.
00:10:13
Think Fresh
Yeah, it was tough. Just trying to crack the window. yeah du youre it so You almost turned into some final destination shit for you. Stuck my head out of the window and have it locked lopped off like that one movie.
00:10:24
Think Fresh
Yeah. Hereditary. Getting lobotomized. um So you you were so sick the minute we got in the car. I had no idea because I was straight chilling. I'm so grateful I dodged the tequila shots you tried to shove down my throat.
00:10:36
Think Fresh
That was a lucky move. Oh, dude. I had to have two of those because I poured an extra one. For me. Yeah, somebody was complaining that it didn't pour enough. i think it was one of our mates. Yeah. They said, what about me? And then they ended up sharing one like a pussy.
00:10:49
Think Fresh
so It's better to bow out of a tequila shot than to share one with another human. I think that's a crazy move. I totally agree. But they decide to share it and then still make a big deal out of it. It's like, if you're going to share it, you better just be quiet and, you know, be happy that it worked out this way. Yeah, you shouldn't be talking at all because you should be savoring your like one quarter ounce.
00:11:10
Think Fresh
one quarter out oh we got some uh disturbances on on mike here but we'll just try to push through it as we do eric um yeah if you got like a quarter ounce you should be gargling that you know like spend some time when imagine throwing a shot of tequila over your shoulder at someone's house like that would be so rude just like dumping on their couch yeah they just pour it in the crack they're not gonna find it they're like why looking for the remote why is it wet There we go. i Soundproofing in the Rolls Royce here. Hell yeah. um
00:11:44
Think Fresh
Yeah, Ty, that tequila shot fucked me up. And the other thing was nobody really wanted to partake in the soju that I brought. I would have. I just had no idea it there was any left. I kept offering to everybody and I saw you still had some in your and your glass. So I never really forced it on you. But I kept offering people were like, no, no, no.
00:12:04
Think Fresh
Wow. So I just drank two bottles. That would put you under for sure. See, that was all discreetly happening behind the cheese board. I didn't have viz on what was happening. yeah the Hispanic Pitos were blocking your view. Exactly. And honestly, this wouldn't have mattered.
00:12:18
Think Fresh
But the other kicker was that drinking game we played at the bar where had to finish like the last eighth of the pitcher. Oh, yeah, that's a lot. It's a lot of like fluid.
00:12:29
Think Fresh
And yeah, that kind of that was just the final nail in the coffin. And then once the Uber driver stomped on the gas pedal, it was all over. dude That was on my my account. You're going give me a $300 cleaning fee. Well, if I sat in the back like this, is you're so grateful. I'm so grateful. And you're so lucky that you made me sit in the front. Yeah, I said, Daddy Long Legs, get up there. Because if I sat in the back, I would have for sure enacted the cleaning fee.
00:12:54
Think Fresh
You don't want that kind of record on your Uber account. definitely not. You'll be blacklisted from all the Uber blacks. Fuck, dude. If I had to e-transfer you another $300 the end of the night, that would have sucked. Yeah, send her.
00:13:06
Think Fresh
But yeah, I got home. Fucking, yeah, it all came out. No, like, what are you taking? Like magnesium and a musil? There's something with an M you're, you're, you're been, Oh, I'm off the muse. The muse. Yeah. The mucil is, uh, it ran out.
00:13:20
Think Fresh
um Okay. So I'm off that stuff. No. And musily in the morning, perhaps ah I'm not really a breakfast kind of guy. Dude, breakfast is the only way to really cure a hangover.
00:13:30
Think Fresh
It's like you wake up, you feel like crap. You eat as much grain as possible. Maybe some pancakes. That's a good option. And then you feel normal again. It really is. You pour in a glass of Hennessy.
00:13:41
Think Fresh
Well, we're talking about the next morning? Yeah. The next morning, What do I eat? Oh, I requested that bae make me something greasy. I was picturing a full English, but I don't think we had any beans.
00:13:53
Think Fresh
um I think probably an omelet with bacon and some toast. sad land That would land. That landed, yeah. Oh, no, no, no. Fuck that. I had a yeah fuck kimchi noodles and gyozas.
00:14:06
Think Fresh
Oh, that's not bad, too. Yeah, it was good. it was good. so how's your morning did you feel okay i felt pretty good yeah uh slept it off i had i all i wanted to do was eat pho when i woke up so i got some pho which is kind of funny because hangover food well yeah because it's like so hydrating you know and i just and they get serve you warm water and you don't realize you need to drink a cup of warm water when you're hungover it fixes everything yeah while you were sleeping your pho i was drinking gatorade in the bath uh crying in the bathtub yeah that's crazy awesome
00:14:39
Think Fresh
But um yeah, anything we want to mention about our rager? it was just a drinking session. We're basically just like sit down and chug drinks until we went home. I don't remember talking about and anything. Yeah, I don't remember anything either. I think I might have blacked out.
00:14:53
Think Fresh
You had a great costume. Eric was dressed up as a podcaster. Yes. He's had this all black fit, very, uh, debonair, but also a little bit like once yoga model. And then he was wearing a clown mask with a fake knife.
00:15:12
Think Fresh
It was very eerie. He looked like one of the goons from Batman. Yeah. yeah That's kind of what i' was going for. Like, Like I could rob the bank that night kind of vibe. Yeah. You're giving like, like contemporary bank robber.
00:15:24
Think Fresh
Yeah, totally. Yeah. It was a good look. And I'm surprised they let you into any bar with that knife. Cause obviously it was a fake knife, but you were wielding it. Like it was real i was playing with the knife at the table. You're playing a little too much with the knife.
00:15:34
Think Fresh
I mean, I got to get my money's worth out of this costume. I'm not going to touch it for another 365, you know? Yeah. How do you feel about ah people who reuse the same costume every year? Are you for that or against that? don't think so. think dressing up is lame as hell.
00:15:49
Think Fresh
Oh, wow. Especially if you use the same costume. Like, just skip a year, you know? Yeah, just don't don't dress up. Yeah, because like... what I'm thinking about is that the cost of the costume, like it has to be as little as possible. Like you got to spend like $7 on a costume. I agree. That's what mine cost.
00:16:11
Think Fresh
Yeah. You should ideally it's free. Like what you want to do is like make a thing, something as great, good as possible with as little money as possible. Cause if you spend a bunch of money to make a great costume, that's still a failure.
00:16:21
Think Fresh
People look at you and like, damn, I can't believe you would waste such good income on that. Mm hmm. like you could use that on a nice dinner every celebrity probably feels this way like they have to like spend at least three thousand on their costume or else what are they doing you know yeah exactly like what's her name that was medusa who is that don't know it always does the big costumes travis scott was he the brown batman again
00:16:50
Think Fresh
oh Yeah, that was a pretty affordable one, hey? Heidi Klum. She always does a crazy-high costume. And look at her Medusa fit this year. like she She loves to go into, like, slug mode no matter what costume. Yeah, she's going to run out slugs pretty soon.
00:17:04
Think Fresh
I think she reused the slug part. Because, like, she went as a slug once, right? Yeah, she did. Or, like, a worm. The worm, yeah. It's really funny that, like, a supermodel wants to be, like, the ugliest possible thing she can think of her
Halloween Fashion and Costumes
00:17:16
Think Fresh
Halloween. It's really, like... Kind of endearing, actually. Yeah, taking...
00:17:19
Think Fresh
the conversation into her own control who yeah honestly like good for her she's uh defying you know expectation for halloween especially for women you know yeah but this thing was crazy dude like the tentacles that she put on her head they like moved around like there was animatronics built into this thing so yeah she's allowed to spend money on a costume because um she's got professionals handling it but for regular blokes like you and i let's keep it simple Yeah, you can't tell me that that cobra does not have good titties on it.
00:17:50
Think Fresh
Come on. So, ah who since you didn't ask me for my opinion, i'm going to share it anyways. i think you What do you think, Ty? think it's important not to reuse your costume.
00:18:03
Think Fresh
And I also think it's lame to dress up in a costume, you know with the exception of a costume party. And Halloween counts as one of those. If you're not going to a party... Skip the costume that year. Don't dress up just to walk around the neighborhood.
00:18:14
Think Fresh
Don't dress up to hang out at home or go to work. Well, if you're trick-or-treating, you have to wear a costume. you Like, I'm not... If I'm handing out candy and some kid shows up just dressed as nothing, turn around, Caillou.
00:18:25
Think Fresh
What if he gave you, like, slipped you a $10? You know, it be a $5 bill. A $1 bill. Would you take it? No. you when doing That's not the spirit of how... This is not transaction.
00:18:36
Think Fresh
It's not trick or transaction. That's true. Fair enough. uh okay yeah i i guess i agree with that good in good spirits yeah dude you gotta uphold the integrity that is halloween you know that's true like if there's one thing we stand for it's getting dressed up i mean i stand for it i don't really stand for getting dressed up but if you're trick-or-treating you it's a requirement you know think that's pretty well agreed upon it's the only established rule really yeah totally Yeah, okay.
00:19:03
Think Fresh
um But do you agree with me that like, okay, if you're going to an event, it's kind of fun to get like a party. It's kind of fun to get dressed up because sometimes there's themed parties with like whether it's in the Halloween timeframe or other, but any other time would be pretty lame.
00:19:18
Think Fresh
Like that's, we need to like draw a line with conventions. We need to draw a line with like, I don't know, themed nights at bars doesn't count. Mm-hmm. parties unites at bars are the worst fucking thing on earth oh yeah dude after being in europe for a month and coming home and like seeing that there's trivia nights happening it's still going on it's like why can't we just kill this one i know oh they the european mind cannot comprehend trivia night they're like what do you mean you're just supposed to drink and smoke is that not enough
00:19:51
Think Fresh
No, I really yeah i don't get it. we we We just have such poor like nightlife in the in the world outside of Europe. i Actually, am just North America. And we have to fill the void with gimmicks and bullshit. It's terrible.
00:20:06
Think Fresh
Like, okay, if you're going to do the trivia night and it's going to fill the whole bar and it's going to be really loud and annoying, at least let me stand with my beer on the sidewalk. Mm-hmm. yeah totally let me get out of the space to be honest this is kind of how i feel about dressing up for a party like a halloween party um like wearing costumes is it just feels like an unnecessary thing you know we should have fun without this like we can just have you know smoking and drinking and not have to dress up like an idiot but the only caveat i'll give that to you ty is
00:20:37
Think Fresh
It makes women dress sluttier. And we need more of that. Yeah. It does get women to be more in touch with their bodies or like what they want to showcase or not. Men as well, you know.
00:20:51
Think Fresh
hmm. Like, I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt out. I felt pretty... were wearing flip-flops and it was pissing rain. And, like, sometimes you just expose yourself in that way. was like, today is the day I reveal the dogs. Yeah, dude, dogs are... Dogs are coming out to play.
00:21:06
Think Fresh
Exactly. um But, yeah, like, that's the only benefit of Halloween. so if you're a single guy, you got to go out to the clubs and dress up. And, uh, you know, it's a fun time.
00:21:18
Think Fresh
Everyone's a little looser. It's the only night of the year. You're not in a costume. If you think about it. Wow. Kanye, you're right though. Like the craziest costume really could be as just yourself.
00:21:29
Think Fresh
Yeah. The one you're always wearing. Totally. Yeah, everyone's a little loosey-goosey on Hallows' Eve, Eric. And that's really what makes it fun is that when you go out, you know everyone else just just like wants to maximize the good times.
00:21:43
Think Fresh
There's no grumpies out on Halloween. That's true. Like, if you're kind of a grumpster, you're staying home. And that's what's the best. Everyone turns up a little more, just like how you were turning the knob on our volume earlier.
00:21:54
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
The Labubu Collectible Craze
00:21:55
Think Fresh
Speaking of being a grumpster, Ty, you and our mutual friend, Patrick, guys were not very happy with me because I purchased a labubu.
00:22:05
Think Fresh
Oh, I was going to call you at the beginning of this episode. I completely blanked. Yes. Eric, why why why do you why why why do you why do you want boo-boo now?
00:22:16
Think Fresh
what What happened? I don't know, Ty. they I'm a big capitalist kind of guy You are. And so when there's an opportunity to buy a blind box, you don't know what it is. I will take it.
00:22:28
Think Fresh
I feel like this is completely out of your character to, to one, participate in any sort of chance game two to, to, purchase something entirely ornamental, no function.
00:22:43
Think Fresh
and Three to given a trend. I had to just switch up on them. You switched up on Big Time. or you Are you okay? I'm good, Breadheads, do a wellness check on your Lububu owners. I think it's just funny to buy stupid shit sometimes.
00:22:59
Think Fresh
And Lububu is a perfect example where like somebody backed me into a corner and was like, you're not going buy one. And I was like, watch me. And I just it on the spot. This is kind of a do or die, prove yourself thing. Totally. so I'm happy I did. I'm happy that I'm in the cult now.
00:23:16
Think Fresh
um We have a ceremony tonight if you want to join. You can bring a plus one to these things. Oh. Yeah, we're going to behead someone. so Human or doll? Oh, you'll find out.
00:23:26
Think Fresh
Interesting. So what is what is the experience of owning a Labut Buu like? Do you like hold it every day? Do you just look at it? Does it go in the the junk drawer and you've forgotten already about it?
00:23:37
Think Fresh
Well, Ty, I'll tell you. It's a whimsical life. Yeah. a labubu owning life is a whimsical one and uh i got it perched up nicely on my desk nice at home and when i'm working i see it staring back at me giving a shit-eating grin and i just uh it just reminds me that you know life is a cruel place That's fair enough.
00:23:58
Think Fresh
Yeah. Now, like last time I saw you, you were carabined up with the la boo boo on your waist. That's right. You got the boo boo by your, by your side. Yeah. I was booed up with it dangling at my, uh, belt loop. and Yeah.
00:24:12
Think Fresh
Uh, hanging off your backside, like a la doo doo. Uh, So I'd imagine that like owning it is kind of like walking a dog where people constantly, especially other la boo boo owners, they want to pet it. They want to, they want to ask you about it. How old is it? What's his name? The usual stuff is, is my hypothesis. Correct.
00:24:31
Think Fresh
I haven't worn it outside of that one time. No. So that was just performative male shit. Just got to perform to my other males. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. Well, I want you to take this thing out for a stroll. You got to walk them, you know, a couple of times a day.
00:24:47
Think Fresh
i think wearing it to work would be kind of like my Superbowl, you know, for sure. Like it would be maximum amount of attention. And I don't know if I'm like set up for that.

They got dangly heads. I don't know what's next. You know what? We're designers and we appreciate details like this on the app.
00:27:56
Think Fresh
You can actually physically shake the box and it tells you which colors you're not getting. So there's like a fun little UI element there where you can shake the box high.
00:28:07
Think Fresh
That's kind of cool. A little skeuomorphism. Yeah, a little skeuomorphism. And to buy one, like they come in like a pallet, kind of like a, or maybe like a carton of cigarettes, if you can imagine that. Yeah, yeah, And you have to physically like click on the one you want out of that.
00:28:23
Think Fresh
Pull it out. Pull it out. And then you shake it. And then you can put it back and get a new one. So it's like very like... um like skeuomorphic or like literal. Yeah, that's quite, and and this is all happening in an app.
00:28:35
Think Fresh
You have a Popmart app. Cool. That's the best way to call You save your address, transact very quickly with that. so you you're a recurring purchaser of random shit on this app.

Socializing Over Baseball
00:32:07
Think Fresh
so. There was a baseball game that happened. i Couldn't care less. Yeah. i'm I'm so happy that it's over. Yeah, dude. Baseball is the most boring sport there is. That was like a long time for us to pretend to care about something. We watched it together. I will say what's great about baseball is you don't have to pay attention and it gives a reason for a bunch of guys to sit together and crack some beers.
00:32:26
Think Fresh
Totally. Sure, they could do it without the baseball, but then they'd have to make eye contact. And like, that's the worst part about hanging out. Yeah. Looking at your voice. Yeah. ah Walking keen eyes. It's the only sport where you can talk 80% of the time and not miss anything.
00:32:40
Think Fresh
Yeah, exactly. You can yap, you can go take a shit, you can fall asleep and you're not going to miss anything. I know. It's unbelievable. Yeah. So I think there's a time and a place for baseball. But if you're actually paying attention and you actually care about what's happening, then like, I think the only team losing is your team.
00:32:58
Think Fresh
Yeah. The team of team of one, which is you. So don't care too much. Yeah, I totally agree. The winner is always the the league at the of the day. Yeah. House takes all the chips.
00:33:09
Think Fresh
Yeah.
