38 Plays2 months ago
Ty & Eric attempt to interview Jared Fogle, as well as discuss the worst April Fools jokes of 2025, eating ice soup, trespassing in fast food restaurants, ordering a footlong Bahn Mi, tacking a stab at Korean food (with scissors), avoiding the ranch water in the ranch bottle, and eating a Big Mac the loooooong way.

00:01:40
Think Fresh
Damn.
00:01:42
Ty Fresh
That would have been the best possible guest for this silly little podcast.

April Fool's Day Pranks Unpacked
00:01:53
Think Fresh

00:01:58
Think Fresh
I'm not sure.
00:01:58
Ty Fresh

00:01:59
Think Fresh
It's unclear.
00:02:00
Ty Fresh
He may be getting railed right now. We don't know.
00:02:05
Think Fresh
He may be dealing with a footlong of a different sort, the
00:02:09
Ty Fresh
who One's going in, one's going in the other end. Mm-hmm.
00:02:14
Think Fresh
Double entry. um Well, okay. Well, we we have to we're to to quickly pivot, Ty, because we don't have our guests anymore. But um how are you doing today on this fine Tuesday?
00:02:27
Ty Fresh
Yeah, this is going to be an improvised episode. I had so many questions for Jared Fogel, so we have to make do. um This is a great Tuesday. It is April Fool's Day, and the fools the fools are out and about, ourselves included.
00:02:38
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's right.
00:02:42
Ty Fresh
I'm i'm a gullible man, Eric. i i fallen I believe in people too much. I believe in Instagram accounts too much, and I've fallen for so many sneaky tricks today.
00:02:57
Think Fresh
Is that right?
00:02:58
Ty Fresh
h Yeah, there are some noticeable ones that really caught me. Did you know that ah the city of Vancouver, where we reside, was going to start adding a tipping option to the parking meters?
00:03:10
Think Fresh
Oh, nice. Yeah, I can i can actually i can see that happening because
00:03:12
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:03:16
Think Fresh
Parking enforcement here is, I would say they are the biggest opposition. You know i mean? Everyone has a parking enforcer story.
00:03:25
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm. exactly we've all had dealt with the trauma of the the man in the the so safety vest and the bicycle
00:03:34
Think Fresh
Oh, dude, I hate the safety vest so much.
00:03:38
Ty Fresh
hu
00:03:38
Think Fresh
um But breadheads, are and go ahead.
00:03:39
Ty Fresh
I also saw a April Fool's joke that got me that Kim Kardashian had taken on 25% ownership of Chrome Hearts, which is so such an esoteric piece of news.
00:03:51
Think Fresh
Oh, nice.
00:03:53
Ty Fresh
I surely thought it was real.
00:03:58
Think Fresh
Okay. i don't I don't know any of these so far. This is my first time hearing them. um And breadheads, if you're confused why Fogel canceled on us, it's because we're kidding.
00:04:09
Think Fresh
He was never going to be on the show, but thanks for clicking anyway. you know i mean? and you
Pranking Culture in Fast Food
00:04:14
Think Fresh
get to hear and just kind of talk.
00:04:14
Ty Fresh
who
00:04:17
Think Fresh
um
00:04:17
Ty Fresh
who Yeah, jared knows a lot about Jared knows a lot about baiting, and this was our like clickbait today.
00:04:19
Think Fresh
But yeah, Ty, I don't...
00:04:26
Think Fresh
Would you say he's a masturbator?
00:04:29
Ty Fresh
He's a master baiter, for sure. We're master clickbaiters.
00:04:32
Think Fresh
you Oh, that's funny. um I don't get any kind of like trickster like funny little jokes on my timeline anymore. ty All I have is 9-11 conspiracies and like don't know our food secretly killing us.
00:04:48
Think Fresh
i don't I don't get any like fun, whimsical jokey jokes anymore.
00:04:53
Ty Fresh
No, you don't even get Subway's they April Fool's joke, which was buttermilk spiked ranch water. I don't know why.
00:05:03
Think Fresh
the fuck dude damn they really fucking they really bombed that one didn't they um holy fuck dude buttermilk spiked ranch water they they didn't have either of those things to begin with so why is that funny
00:05:04
Ty Fresh
but They missed the mark on that. You didn't get any of that? Yeah.
00:05:16
Ty Fresh
yeah I guess they sell ranch sauce, but the interpretation is... It missed the mark so much. Just terrible.
00:05:24
Think Fresh
unless Unless they meant the true definition of ranch water, which is just the top of the ranch bottle. You know what mean? It's not necessarily the actual tequila drink that you put me onto.
00:05:35
Think Fresh
It's quite literally the water, the top layer of water on the ranch bottle.
00:05:39
Ty Fresh
where the separation happens. Yes, that that is the um the forbidden shot. You know, you don't have the worm at the bottom of the mezcal or the water at the top of the ranch. The human mind knows to stay away from still water, especially on the ranch.
00:05:49
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:05:51
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:05:54
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. when Whenever you forget to shake the ketchup bottle, you squirt like pink water on your, i don't know, eggs or something. ah That ruins it for me.
00:06:05
Think Fresh
um Luckily, we don't use ketchup in this household.
Online and Personal Pranks
00:06:08
Ty Fresh
Dude, 100%. But even the essence of mustard, when that ah that that liquid just gets splat all over your hot dog. No cream. No cream all splat.
00:06:21
Think Fresh
That's the worst.
00:06:21
Ty Fresh
Not a big fan of that.
00:06:24
Think Fresh
That's the worst.
00:06:24
Ty Fresh
You got to give it the one-two shake. That's what the Subway artist, the sandwich artist has always given the bottle the one-two shake. Just a couple little quick a quick jerk before they squeeze it
00:06:33
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's something that Fogel, we we used to he would request to help with that part. um But unfortunately, they kind of you know said, sorry, that's out of your scope. You have to you got to be the fat, skinny guy.
00:06:49
Ty Fresh
Yeah, exactly. he says, no no, please just let me, let me give it a squeeze.
00:06:55
Think Fresh
be a jerk at one time please please bro um
00:06:58
Ty Fresh
ah Damn. So that's not your feet. Hey, your feet has no fool's jokes. It's just radicalized online nutrition
00:07:09
Think Fresh
ah Yeah, that is right. Actually, now that you think about or now that you say that, um I think I get kind of like pranks. I get like a lot of prank content, but that's more like a evergreen style, 365 content style.
00:07:25
Think Fresh
It's not necessarily like an announcement that's false. Right. Right.
00:07:29
Ty Fresh
Mmm.
00:07:30
Think Fresh
Like um I've actually been noticing a big trend of people going backstage of fast food restaurants pretending to be upper management.
00:07:40
Ty Fresh
Yes.
00:07:40
Think Fresh
Like they would like walk into Starbucks and be like holding a laptop or like a Surface Pro and be like, hey, I'm from corporate. I just need to go in there and make sure the cake pops are not going to be recalled.
00:07:54
Think Fresh
And then he would go into the freezer and like eat three of them or something and then leave.
00:07:54
Ty Fresh
Mmm.
00:07:58
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:07:59
Ty Fresh
Dude, yes, I'm seeing these too. It's always a body cam. They're carrying a clipboard. they to They go straight to the grill and start eating the French fries.
00:08:09
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. Mm-hmm.
00:08:11
Ty Fresh
It's a pretty funny trend because it shows to show that you have free will. You can really go anywhere. It's only your own the four walls of your mind that are stopping you from breaking the fourth wall of any establishment.
00:08:26
Think Fresh
Yeah, totally. It's kind of, um it's a weird thing to see because you are preying on the goodwill of these employees.
00:08:36
Think Fresh
Like the cashier is like, i have no reason to believe that I'm getting scammed right now. yeah i mean? And they like, they seem earnest too.
00:08:43
Ty Fresh
the
00:08:44
Think Fresh
They're kind of like, oh yeah, absolutely. Like we can't be selling bad cake pops. Come, come on back. Let me show you.
00:08:50
Ty Fresh
Come have a couple.
00:08:52
Think Fresh
yeah exactly. um And um I just saw a video today, actually, Ty. There's a man posing as a food inspector, walks into a subway, and he starts blasting Fetty Wap.
00:09:05
Think Fresh
And then he walks out with a free cookie.
00:09:08
Ty Fresh
Wow, really?
00:09:09
Think Fresh
Pretty amazing stuff. Yeah.
00:09:11
Ty Fresh
he got paid for his service.
00:09:15
Ty Fresh
And he went with a Fetty wrap instead of a Fetty footlong.
00:09:15
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude.
00:09:21
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. Fetty rap.
00:09:23
Ty Fresh
A little, Lettywap.
Culinary Experiences and Comparisons
00:09:26
Think Fresh
I let you go about wet lettuce in there. um
00:09:29
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:09:29
Think Fresh
So yeah, what other like April Fool's jokes are you seeing? Are you are you committing any yourself outside of this podcast?
00:09:37
Ty Fresh
Absolutely not. i beyond Beyond this podcast, Eric, my IRL persona is very serious, very stoic. couldn't know and all and All of my closest friends and family would never think of me as a jokester.
00:09:54
Think Fresh
I have a hard time believing that. um So nothing, nothing on your side, just kind of observing and chuckling as you scroll the feed.
00:10:03
Ty Fresh
It was a close friend's birthday this weekend, so I gifted him a a bottle of Smirnoff ice hidden in a you know gift box. That is ah the extent of my pranking, and I loved ice people.
00:10:16
Ty Fresh
I know, I know.
00:10:17
Think Fresh
hmm.
00:10:18
Ty Fresh
Grow up. Grow up, a loser. This isn't college anymore. You're a functioning adult. You're a professional podcaster. Surely you could do better, but I can't. That is the limit of my abilities.
00:10:30
Think Fresh
I don't know, Ty. I see it in you. you know i mean? I see the potential for you to launch some new creative joke attacks on some unsuspecting people.
00:10:42
Think Fresh
How would you mess up a Subway Employees situation? could you ice him like could you ice the sandwich artist or could you i don't know let me help me brainstorm here how else could you destroy someone's day and then be able to just be like april fools and then walk out
00:11:03
Ty Fresh
It's tough because the TikTok pranksters have done so much already. Like they will add infinite olives. They will toast their sandwich till it catches fire. They will like scam their way behind the counter and start making sandwiches.
00:11:15
Think Fresh
so
00:11:18
Ty Fresh
So if you want to provide a profession a fresh perspective on the subway prank, you really have to think creatively.
00:11:28
Ty Fresh
I think what I would do, Eric, is I would start painting the walls. I would start redecorating. I would move furniture around. i would take the art off. Maybe I'd take the art home with me. i think the trick would be to a make your own little self at home at Subway.
00:11:44
Ty Fresh
you know Bring in bringing in your monitor, your computer monitor.
00:11:47
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:11:48
Ty Fresh
Bring in bring your dog.
00:11:52
Think Fresh
dog i actually saw that when i was in hawaii um i went to this coffee shop and some dude had set up like a stand with like some kind of like hybrid device like tablet slash desktop device like a surface basically set that up he had like a full like phone book or like a binder and he was like highlighting shit and he was just like looking at this like like surface tablet and he had like wired headphones plugged into his phone.
00:12:23
Think Fresh
There's just like a lot of shit going on. And he was like taking over this entire corner of the coffee shop, just like made it his like work from home station.
00:12:28
Ty Fresh
Wow.
00:12:30
Ty Fresh
That sounds so awful. like People like that just create a black hole in ah business that no one wants to go near. him No one wants to sit near that guy. He just kills the aura of the space he's in.
00:12:42
Ty Fresh
so like i mean It sucks to go in a coffee shop and open a MacBook Air bring out the iPad for a few minutes, but at least it's discreet.
00:12:42
Think Fresh
Absolutely.
00:12:51
Ty Fresh
As soon as you start to... consume the space around you you're potentially risking the like the lifespan of that business they might go under because of your patronage which is ironic
00:13:06
Think Fresh
Yeah, no, I agree with you. um So Ty, how do you gauge whether a restaurant is appropriate to open up the old laptop? Because think there's like a fun game here where like, you know, you walk into fast food, you can kind of do whatever you want.
00:13:14
Ty Fresh
hmm
00:13:21
Think Fresh
But if you walk into, i don't know, a sushi restaurant, maybe at like 4pm before dinner rush, can you are you pulling out the Macbook to fire off a few emails?
00:13:33
Ty Fresh
I mean, I'm open to it. I think the most important rule is how busy is the establishment? If it's Boston in there, put your stuff away. Because if you're rubbing shoulders with someone while you're also like clicking on the magic on the magic touch board, it's I just feel like that's wrong.
00:13:43
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:13:51
Ty Fresh
You know, you don't want if people can like within without even moving, like with an eye shot, like read the words on your screen. It's too busy in there for you to have your computer out.
00:14:01
Think Fresh
This is why I'll never work on my laptop on the plane. Like, I just feel like it's way too close.
00:14:05
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:14:07
Think Fresh
Even if you're like one seat away, like there there's like a buffer still, I still feel like you can see it. And the people behind you can see it clearly as well, whatever you're doing in your laptop.
00:14:18
Think Fresh
So I will only ever use it if I'm in business, but I don't know.
00:14:19
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:14:22
Think Fresh
I kind of like pulling up the laptop. in a random, like, semi-nice restaurant like Cactus Club.
00:14:29
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:14:29
Think Fresh
think it's kind of a nice, it's like, i I own this place. That's the energy it's giving it's giving off for me.
00:14:36
Ty Fresh
100% and allows you to, for a brief moment, role play as a business professional. Only a a CEO or yeah C-suite executive would be compelled to open the laptop in the middle of a nice restaurant, albeit for a short moment.
00:14:41
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:14:52
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. I'll be it.
00:14:54
Ty Fresh
I'll be it.
00:14:56
Think Fresh
Oh, man.
00:14:59
Ty Fresh
Yeah, so ah I ate a sandwich for lunch today, Eric, but not from where you would think.
00:15:08
Think Fresh
Oh, man. That's a... wo Let me guess. Did you make it?
00:15:14
Ty Fresh
I did not. i purchased it. I purchased it from a Bond Me food truck.
00:15:16
Think Fresh
Oh.
00:15:20
Think Fresh
oh Very nice. Did you...
00:15:22
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:15:23
Think Fresh
um Okay. This is actually interesting because I know the truck you're talking about and I wanted to give it a go myself. How would you rank the sandwich amongst other sandwiches you've had?
00:15:36
Ty Fresh
Compared to other Vietnamese sandwiches, i would say it's pretty good. um Yeah, there's this Vietnamese food truck that's been floating around our neighborhood in Vancouver. And when I purchased it from it, I got the tofu banh mi, the only vegetarian option. And dude, this is like a foot long sandwich, like a full 12 inches. But you're getting it on like a proper baguette.
00:15:58
Ty Fresh
So it's just like it's a lot of grain. Like you're just squirping back a footie.
00:16:01
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:16:03
Ty Fresh
it's It's a lot. You don't really realize how big the Subway sandwich is when you're eating it because there's so many ingredients to keep you preoccupied.
00:16:05
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:16:16
Ty Fresh
But when you simplify it down and you get a simple sandwich, just tofu, some pickled veg, and maybe some cilantro, that's like a lot of the same bite.
00:16:17
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:16:26
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:16:29
Think Fresh
Yeah, you're um you're reducing it down to its core principles.
00:16:34
Ty Fresh
And maybe you don't need 12 inches of those principles. Maybe you just need six. So
00:16:40
Think Fresh
Maybe there's a lesson here, Ty.
00:16:40
Ty Fresh
i
00:16:41
Think Fresh
Like, um do we do we stop running it through the garden? You know? Do we just go tofu, pickles, and and no sauce?
00:16:53
Think Fresh
Like, there's no sauce in the banh mi, right?
00:16:54
Ty Fresh
know No, isn't that wild?
00:16:59
Ty Fresh
But I don't think that like reductivism in general is the point. I think the goal is to find the least amount of things necessary to have a good sandwich.
00:17:13
Ty Fresh
At Subway, I am maximizing everything, but on the banh mi, at a foot-long size, it's too few ingredients. We need to add a few more to keep things interesting.
Exploring Unique Dining Experiences
00:17:24
Ty Fresh
So I think the goal here, Eric, is to find that sweet spot where it's just enough stuff to make the sandwich perfect for every bite and not any more.
00:17:35
Think Fresh
I think I know what you're saying, Ty. um But I think on the flip side, I'm i'm referencing our favorite sandwich shop, Venny's Sub Shop.
00:17:46
Ty Fresh
Wait,
00:17:47
Think Fresh
They recently came out with a foot-long Big Mac.
00:17:51
Ty Fresh
what? Are they even allowed to do that?
00:17:53
Think Fresh
um
00:17:55
Ty Fresh
Wait, foot long or foot tall?
00:17:55
Think Fresh
I don't know if they're allowed to.
00:17:59
Think Fresh
foot long um it's it's like a huge like hoagie thing and um it's exactly what you think it looks like and sounds like ty it's a big mac but it's long it's just mac the long way you know i mean that's simply simply put
00:18:01
Ty Fresh
Oh, basically.
00:18:12
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I'm...
00:18:17
Ty Fresh
They used the free transform tool on it and stretched that thing out.
00:18:21
Think Fresh
exactly um Would you call that? um This is obviously is not red activism. And you can, if you're, if you're looking at Instagram, you can just go ahead and pull it up too.
00:18:33
Think Fresh
But um what do we call that? You know?
00:18:38
Ty Fresh
That is a good question. What do we call that? Um... That seems like cubism. don't know. It's an art movement for sure.
00:18:51
Think Fresh
Okay, some more info here. It's called the All-Canadian Long Mac.
00:18:57
Think Fresh
um Two beef, long patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions.
00:19:05
Think Fresh
This makes me want to remake this at Subway.
00:19:05
Ty Fresh
I mean...
00:19:08
Think Fresh
I think it would actually really easy. Steak and cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, special sauce, whatever the fuck that is.
00:19:16
Ty Fresh
Hell yeah, i dude. Southwest.
00:19:19
Think Fresh
Yeah, obviously.
00:19:19
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I think i think we recreate that as Subway. That sounds great. But what I'm actually taking away from this is this realization that Subway is shifting their value proposition. They used to be about like having a healthy, affordable sandwich.
00:19:34
Ty Fresh
And now Subway's a value proposition has become, we give you food the long way. Because if you think about all of the new stuff that they've come out with, the footlong cookie, the footlong pretzel, the footlong nachos that just came out this month, all they're offering now are is food the long way.
00:19:56
Ty Fresh
So the Big Mac the long way is makes perfect sense to be within there like in their inventory.
00:20:05
Think Fresh
Mark my words, Ty. I'm ordering the long Mac next time me go to Subway. That's for sure.
00:20:10
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude, it makes me realize you could do really freak anything the long way and then put it on that menu. And then you could open up a whole new like frontier of like sandwich or just entree offerings.
00:20:25
Think Fresh
Brilliant.
00:20:26
Ty Fresh
We got to get that long way clip in the soundboard.
00:20:32
Ty Fresh
wonder if I can pull it up right now for the redheads.
00:20:36
Think Fresh
Yeah, while you do that, Ty, I want to talk to you about very unique and new dining experience that I just had, which is actually, like, I think a rare thing these days to go to a restaurant.
00:20:50
Ty Fresh
Peanut butter jelly the long way.
00:20:51
Think Fresh
Oh, yeah.
00:20:55
Ty Fresh
Yeah, that's the one. So sorry to cut you off. It just started playing.
00:21:00
Think Fresh
God damn it. Fuck, I hate my job. but
00:21:07
Think Fresh
um
00:21:07
Ty Fresh
um As you were saying, Eric.
00:21:10
Think Fresh
Ty, I had a really interesting new experience at a restaurant, which I want to talk to you about. It's very seldom.
00:21:15
Ty Fresh
Does that even happen? Yeah, I was going say that seldom happens these days, a new experience.
00:21:17
Think Fresh
Huh?
00:21:21
Think Fresh
Absolutely, dude. I feel like whenever you go out, you... You get some kind of food on the plate and you use either a chopstick or a fork and knife to get through it and call it a day.
00:21:32
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:21:33
Think Fresh
Or you just pick it up with your hands, right?
00:21:35
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:21:36
Think Fresh
This was not that. I went to a local Korean mom and pop kind of restaurant here and we got some cold noodles.
00:21:48
Think Fresh
which were served with some spicy sauce. And then it came with a cold soup on the side with ice cubes in it.
00:21:56
Ty Fresh
It did not. No, you're joking. You got ice soup?
00:22:02
Think Fresh
We do get paid this Friday, Ty.
00:22:02
Ty Fresh
No.
00:22:04
Think Fresh
So it is, you know, week two of the biweekly pay schedule. Yes, I'm eating ice soup, but it was so fantastic. It was so good.
00:22:11
Ty Fresh
Dude, you're joking. you You got some depression era ice soup from Korean restaurant? What? No.
00:22:20
Think Fresh
Dude, yeah, that's not even where it stops, Ty. It's not even where it stops. The noodles themselves were a potato starch, long and skinny noodle, the long way.
00:22:29
Ty Fresh
The long way.
00:22:32
Think Fresh
And they were kind of like, imagine you grab like some noodles and then you tie them into a knot. you know i mean They're kind of like folded together and placed down.
00:22:44
Think Fresh
Kind of like how a puppy would find its sleeping position. That kind of the same way.
00:22:49
Ty Fresh
Curled up. Very cute.
00:22:50
Think Fresh
Curled up. Much like Thai as well. um But the noodles were kind of like laid out like that. And then on top you had like a slice of meat. ah Half a boiled egg.
00:23:02
Think Fresh
And you were tasked with mixing up all of that stuff. And ah we didn't get that many instructions. We just had to mix it up.
00:23:11
Ty Fresh
o
00:23:11
Think Fresh
And then they also brought a scissors.
00:23:14
Ty Fresh
Scissors.
00:23:16
Think Fresh
A scissors.
00:23:18
Ty Fresh
oh That's a little bit more... the Same idea as chopsticks, but more dangerous.
00:23:23
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. Yeah. So, I mean, we, i mean, my partner and I just kind of looked at each other in confusion. we were like, we got ice soup, scissors, and noodles. What the fuck is going on?
00:23:36
Ty Fresh
ah
00:23:37
Think Fresh
So, yeah, we proceed to mix it up as instructed. And then, like, the noodles were so thin, Ty, that it kind of just, like, became a fourth kind of substance. It wasn't solid. It wasn't liquid.
00:23:52
Think Fresh
It wasn't gas. It was, like, plasma. You know what I mean? It was just, like...
00:23:56
Ty Fresh
Dude, that's the best way to just, like, every time I eat, like, a vermicelli noodle, I'm like, what is this shit? Like, it is plasma.
00:24:04
Think Fresh
yeah
00:24:05
Ty Fresh
That's all it is.
00:24:07
Think Fresh
I always think, what the fuck is this shit whenever you have Fermicelli as well? But this was that, but like twice as confusing because it was like truly a sensory a new sensory experience. I had never experienced anything like this before.
00:24:20
Think Fresh
So then we like you go to like eat it, and you like I put it in my mouth like I was going to slurp it, right?
00:24:27
Ty Fresh
who
Prison Food Discussion
00:24:28
Think Fresh
And then it was nearly impossible to chew.
00:24:31
Ty Fresh
me
00:24:32
Think Fresh
Like it was so thin that it would just kind of like, you need to like bite down like 18 times just to free yourself from the bowl, if that makes sense. You know what i mean? When noodles are connected.
00:24:43
Ty Fresh
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:24:44
Ty Fresh
And like if they're thin and small, the good luck your teeth is going to actually connect with the noodle. You're going to to mush that a bit.
00:24:44
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:24:51
Think Fresh
Exactly. So then I was like, oh, that's what the scissors are for. We got to chop this thing up and then eat it. And it was like a weird realization that like you could cut it up and it would still kind of retain its form.
00:25:04
Ty Fresh
Oh yeah.
00:25:05
Think Fresh
Yeah, it would retain its form. It was like grouped together, but they were all noodles. It was so strange. ti It's impossible to explain, um but it was really, really good.
00:25:14
Ty Fresh
It kind of sounds like you're eating Jell-O, but with scissors.
00:25:18
Think Fresh
Pretty much long strands of jello. Yeah.
00:25:21
Ty Fresh
Is there a situation where you scoop some into your mouth and then use the scissors to snip it to separate from the bold to your mouth? Kind of like if you're like trimming ah the bangs at a barbershop.
00:25:35
Think Fresh
Yeah, honestly, that could have been one move. um I think it would have been difficult and maybe rude for somebody to have scissors that close to their face.
00:25:46
Think Fresh
Like, I don't know if that would be like ah smart move because the scissors were like pretty heavy duty kitchen, you know, industrial utensils. I wouldn't say they're like your average um arts and crafts supplies, if that makes sense.
00:26:02
Ty Fresh
Gotcha. and And these are table scissors, right? These are not your personal snipper.
00:26:06
Think Fresh
Exactly, Ty. If you got a little tiny like nail clipper with your fork, that would be a different ah different kind of way to approach it. But I think both are fine, you know?
00:26:17
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:26:18
Ty Fresh
Wow. And these noodles were served cold. So they're kind of like, I imagine you're kind of like eating just jellyfish, you know, when you just get some freaky, freaky, fishy jelly, jello on there.
00:26:28
Think Fresh
Pretty much. Honestly, that that is the closest um yeah reference point, I would say. Jell-O and jellyfish.
00:26:38
Think Fresh
um But yeah, it was it was quite good. I even dipped the noodle in the cold soup, which I'm not sure if that was foul play or not, but it tasted amazing. um It was ice cold because of the ice cubes.
00:26:50
Think Fresh
And wow, I got to say, Ty, that I left that place speechless. Yeah.
00:26:55
Ty Fresh
This is such a wild meal.
00:26:58
Think Fresh
yeah
00:26:59
Ty Fresh
I can't. My jaw is on the floor right now. Plenty of space for ice soup. Wow. Wow.
00:27:05
Think Fresh
and um yeah this that's a korean experience that i'm having here in vancouver canada i'm going to korea next month and i'm just kind of scared now of what i'm gonna see
00:27:16
Ty Fresh
Oh, you're going to have so many wonderful experiences to to help sub supplement this podcast.
00:27:23
Think Fresh
that's right we are content farming
00:27:24
Ty Fresh
A week on the content farm. Yeah.
00:27:29
Think Fresh
Oh, fuck. um Yeah, that's my that's my story. i'm I'm a survivor of the local Korean restaurant, I...
00:27:37
Ty Fresh
I'm glad you didn't get a novel coronavirus from that meal. The ah ice soup could be... If it's still water, you've got to be careful. Yeah.
00:27:45
Think Fresh
Do you think they're... um Speaking of Jared Fogle, is ice soup, but like, something that they could have in prison? I'm thinking, like... You know, they probably don't get a lot of options or like fuck I just want a nice cold soup.
00:28:00
Think Fresh
Are they making ice soup for themselves.
00:28:02
Ty Fresh
I don't know, dude, because i i had just assumed in prison that as a part of the pattern of torture that you only get lukewarm meals. no Nothing cold, nothing hot. Just lukewarm every meal.
00:28:16
Ty Fresh
So that means they would wouldn't get access to ice cubes.
00:28:17
Think Fresh
Right.
00:28:21
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Ice cubes, Ty, could be a very dangerous weapon in prison. And then the benefit of that is that your evidence melts away, you know?
00:28:32
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:28:32
Think Fresh
The murder weapon is just gone. Mm-hmm.
00:28:34
Ty Fresh
Precisely. We've all heard the riddles. So yeah, no ice cubes allowed.
00:28:41
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:28:41
Ty Fresh
Contraband.
00:28:41
Think Fresh
No ice cubes. Yeah, no hot soup to burn your fellow inmates. You're really just looking at some room temp slop.
00:28:50
Ty Fresh
Yeah, exactly. Your sandwich is neither. It's not toasted. The vegetables are lukewarm. There's no marinara sauce. That's too dangerous.
00:29:01
Think Fresh
This is too dangerous, Ty.
00:29:01
Ty Fresh
The tuna is too cold.
00:29:03
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Wow.
00:29:06
Ty Fresh
Wow.
00:29:07
Think Fresh
Well, Brad, it's on that somber note. I say we end the pod
