Ty & Eric digest the details on Ty’s veggie dog dinner, as well as discuss how Eric got his hot dogs confiscated, the masculine urge to BBQ for your boys, the magnetic pull of stuffed crust pizza, blaming yourself for a bad sandwich, bringing an experimental mindset to cheese selection, and whether sushi is the sandwich of the sea.

Podcast Kickoff: The Toyota Matrix and Glizzies

00:00:49
Think Fresh
Ding dong.
00:00:56
Ty Fresh
um ah
00:00:58
Ty Fresh
Excuse me. Yeah, well, it's hard to get this throat into first gear for the types of reps we're putting in on this little project.
00:00:58
Think Fresh
sounds like you're a Sounds like you're starting up your Toyota Matrix for the 18th time today.
00:01:12
Ty Fresh
But you see, Eric, I didn't put gas

Ty's Tardiness and Eric's Acronym Antics

00:01:14
Ty Fresh
in the tank. I put a glizzy down my throat. Mere minutes. wobbling up a glizzy and some of it's still sticking around in the sarcophagus.
00:01:27
Think Fresh
God damn it, dude. Yeah, you were five minutes late today, Ty, which is tardy. Tardier than you.
00:01:35
Ty Fresh
Yeah, people say that about me a lot.
00:01:38
Think Fresh
You are a little
00:01:40
Ty Fresh
I'm so sorry for my absentee status, missing in action. M-O-A, some will call it.
00:01:51
Ty Fresh
M.I.A.

Banning Acronyms: Elon Musk's Policy and Podcast Humor

00:01:53
Think Fresh
Dude, I'm good at acronyms. You're really bad at acronyms, dude.
00:01:57
Ty Fresh
I'm always like gassing you up. I was like, Eric's so good at acronyms. But maybe you're just normal in acronyms and I just can't do it. I just don't got, I got a different kind of dog in me.
00:02:08
Think Fresh
Yeah, you don't got the sauce like I do. You see me floating through these acronyms and you're just like, damn, dude.
00:02:10
Ty Fresh
m
00:02:13
Think Fresh
Like, if only I was as good as this guy at acronyms. Very lame superpower.
00:02:20
Ty Fresh
It is a very specific skill set, but based off of my values, it's one that I really admire, like maybe more than other people would as well. So I have like a really strong envy for your ability.
00:02:35
Ty Fresh
It makes me angry, actually, that I cannot ah cant recreate what comes so naturally to you. Yeah.
00:02:44
Think Fresh
I don't know why. i don't know why. But unfortunately for me, that means I can't ever work at Tesla because Elon Musk famously banned acronyms.
00:02:55
Ty Fresh
Did he? i didn't know. It's not that famous.
00:02:58
Think Fresh
It's pretty famous from like LinkedIn 20 years ago or whatever.
00:03:01
Ty Fresh
Oh, I see.
00:03:02
Think Fresh
LinkedIn. Let's go with five to ten years ago, LinkedIn, all over that thing, dude. like Famous email leaks from big boss CEO, no more acronyms.

Subway Sandwich Ordering: A Full Name Affair

00:03:13
Think Fresh
And acronyms are just a fake way to sound smart. And I kind of agree with it.
00:03:17
Ty Fresh
I kind of agree, too. I think Think Fresh is an anti-acronym podcast.
00:03:22
Think Fresh
We've never referred to ourselves as TF. The fuck?
00:03:25
Ty Fresh
It's true. ah for ah So, and I think we will continue to abolish acronyms from our, like, how our speaking here.
00:03:38
Ty Fresh
But Eric, your favorite sandwich is an acronym.
00:03:39
Think Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:03:43
Think Fresh
Fuck.
00:03:43
Ty Fresh
So we must address that.

Hot Dog Gender Debate: Who Grills Best?

00:03:45
Think Fresh
We absolutely have to address that, dude. Next time we're going to Subway, I'm not ordering the B and beep. I'm going for the I'm going for the big masculine testosterone sandwich, dude. Give me that.
00:03:59
Think Fresh
Twelve of them.
00:04:00
Ty Fresh
12 of them, please. one hugh you You know how you eat a big sandwich, Eric? The same way you eat anything. One bite at a time. Inch by inch.
00:04:09
Think Fresh
That's right. I need 12 of those bites inside one of these
00:04:12
Ty Fresh
who
00:04:15
Ty Fresh
When you think of, if you break the sandwich down into bites, it's no different than maki. It's no different than a sushi roll. Because sometimes you're like, oh, sushi, that's not that filling. It's only 12 bites.
00:04:29
Think Fresh
So when you ever, when you get like a six piece roll, is that just a six inch tie? Like if you arrange it in line,
00:04:34
Ty Fresh
Kind of is.
00:04:37
Think Fresh
a line That can be a six inch line.
00:04:40
Ty Fresh
Yeah, if you get a half rack of the Cali rule, ah that's just a six-incher in a different form, really.
00:04:48
Think Fresh
ah Oh yeah. I had a half rack this weekend, Ty. And I'll tell you more about that.
00:04:51
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:04:52
Think Fresh
But first I want to hear about your veggie dog. but The reason you were late. The reason why your throat is.

Grilling, Gender Roles, and Vegas Hot Dogs

00:05:00
Think Fresh
You're no longer the throat goat.
00:05:00
Ty Fresh
what No.
00:05:03
Think Fresh
You're the throat woat.
00:05:05
Ty Fresh
ah ah Yeah, i'm trying to think of ah an and antonym to the throat goat. Yeah,
00:05:12
Think Fresh
throat whoa i just said it but we're against acronyms so i actually want to take that back i want to re make a retraction i know oh yeah oh fuck but anyways you had a veggie dog um i also had a hot dog for lunch but but yeah
00:05:16
Ty Fresh
yeah. yeah Even goat is pushing it here.
00:05:28
Ty Fresh
Oh, the synchronicity of this podcast. So we are both mouth men, but I myself got a little tongue tied, if you will.
00:05:37
Think Fresh
did did bae uh create this veggie dog for you for lunch
00:05:42
Ty Fresh
I don't think it's appropriate for a woman to serve a man a hot dog. Like, if I have to die on a take, it's that. I think a man should make himself a hot dog or another man a hot dog.
00:05:55
Think Fresh
I don't know, dude. Making another man hot dog is way worse than having a woman make you a hot dog. i don't know see I don't really see the connection here.
00:06:02
Ty Fresh
hear me out. You're going to the backyard barbecue. Your boy's grilling up the dogs and the buns and the patties. He throws you a cold one and says, yo, do you want hot dog or hamburger today? You say, like link me up with a link, baby.
00:06:18
Ty Fresh
and then he puts us the long way.
00:06:19
Think Fresh
You say, want it the long way.
00:06:21
Ty Fresh
I don't find none of that circular shit. And so he takes a sausage sizzle off the grill and sticks it in our bun and sticks it it directly in your mouth. Like that is just such a, like, like a, a bro moment, a bro moment that every man yeah should be on.
00:06:38
Think Fresh
don't worry i know what bro meant
00:06:40
Ty Fresh
Like, and I think every man should be on either side of that transaction at some point in their life. It's,
00:06:47
Think Fresh
i don't know dude if you go to like any like vegas hosted like bachelor party there's always like a bbl woman serving dogs you know what mean like there's always like some employed young lady whose job it is to wear a bikini and to grill dogs.
00:07:05
Think Fresh
And yes, that is typically a man's sport. um But just like the WNBA, and that is an acronym that I will use because I'm a fan. um We support, you know, co-ed dog grilling.

Subway Sandwich Artistry: Gender and Ingredient Challenges

00:07:20
Ty Fresh
Yeah, yeah. Like it's 2025. We shouldn't have to explain what the WNBA is. We should be allowed to say that.
00:07:25
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:07:25
Ty Fresh
and Men and women understand it.
00:07:26
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:07:28
Ty Fresh
So i I approve of that acronym.
00:07:28
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:07:30
Ty Fresh
But here's the thing, Eric, with co-ed grilling, is that like it's always a novelty when it's the woman doing it, right? Like it's like maybe it's like on the beach. There's like a little hot dog stand set up somewhere like, i don't know, Miami, you know?
00:07:43
Ty Fresh
And yeah,
00:07:43
Think Fresh
Well, you're not frying dogs in your living room. It's always going to be on the beach or um in the park.
00:07:46
Ty Fresh
it's always on the beach. Yeah. I'm like, I'm not, i like, sure. Like, I'm not, I'm not saying that it should be a gendered activity. I'm just saying that like, there's a, a bite of passage that a man has in life.
00:08:01
Ty Fresh
and one of those cherished experiences where a man serves another man a hot dog, there is a, like a kind of a, an aligned upon like transaction and a mutual respect and appreciation for the offering and appreciation for the opportunity to gift and to be gifted to.
00:08:12
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:08:19
Ty Fresh
So I just think that's important. That's important to self-development. And we want to, we want to celebrate that.
00:08:29
Think Fresh
I i don't know, dude. I think there's more than enough ways for guys to celebrate being dudes. You know I mean? There's no shortage of that stuff. so like But when it comes to the kitchen, when it comes to creating life on Earth, you know, feeding the young...
00:08:46
Think Fresh
I think that should be left up to people who are biologically designed to do that. You know i mean?
00:08:54
Ty Fresh
I understand.
00:08:54
Think Fresh
Like there's just, there's just so, yeah, there's just so, so much more care put into it when it's from ah woman's hands, like the perfect amount of mayo, perfect amount of sriracha.
00:08:55
Ty Fresh
There's a maternal instinct.
00:09:08
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:09:08
Think Fresh
That's right.
00:09:08
Think Fresh
I had a Japa dog for lunch made homemade Japa dog.
00:09:10
Ty Fresh
Oh, hell yeah.
00:09:11
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:09:12
Ty Fresh
That sounds amazing. Well, you're not running because I just think women are probably better at everything than a man.
00:09:14
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:09:17
Ty Fresh
A man's going to slop and goon barbecue sauce all over that thing. But that's part of the experience is to accept their offering, right? Sure, they were heavy handed with the Dijon, but that's something to be appreciated, not to be critiqued because he's trying his best.
00:09:36
Think Fresh
i think okay who do you think's made a better sandwich for you at subway a male or female sandwich artist
00:09:41
Ty Fresh
That's hard to say because they're all very bad.
00:09:46
Think Fresh
of course ty they're all very bad but what's better or what's worse should i say
00:09:50
Ty Fresh
i genuinely couldn't tell you. i think like, here's the problem is when I have a bad sandwich, my thought doesn't immediately go, i need to profile the artists and make a mental note. like My thought process is immediately, I'm going to blame myself for this ah abomination.
00:10:01
Think Fresh
Really?
00:10:07
Ty Fresh
This is my fault.

Veggie Dogs and Ty's Hot Dog Consumption Woes

00:10:09
Ty Fresh
I look inward.
00:10:12
Think Fresh
I mean, again, Ty, like, we have our go-to formulas for what a good sandwich is. We just go off the dome.
00:10:20
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:10:20
Think Fresh
Lettuce, tomato, pickles, this this kind of shit, like, banana peppers, olives, jalapenos,
00:10:23
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Keep saying them. It's good.
00:10:27
Ty Fresh
Mm. Yeah, yeah.
00:10:31
Ty Fresh
You're making me hungry. Mm.
00:10:32
Think Fresh
spinach, cucumber.
00:10:33
Ty Fresh
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:10:37
Think Fresh
Did I name all of them yet?
00:10:39
Ty Fresh
Did you say the crispy onions?
00:10:42
Think Fresh
I think that's kind of a local favorite, local option.
00:10:46
Ty Fresh
You don't think that's worldwide? you know i know't You're right. It's not worldwide.
00:10:49
Think Fresh
And also, just like we've covered on this podcast, they're not crispy onion side. They're just crunchy bits. you remember that?
00:10:55
Ty Fresh
yeah Right, they're the parts the the things they found on the floor and then put in a bucket reused.
00:10:58
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:11:00
Ty Fresh
They're the hand-me-downs.
00:11:00
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. deep fried floor seasoning
00:11:05
Ty Fresh
Secondhand seasoning right there.
00:11:07
Think Fresh
oh no yeah so anyways once once you start riffing and you're going through the ingredients like and you're just flowing I think your body is like subconsciously wetting itself it's subconsciously wetting itself getting ready to consume what you've just said out loud you know but if like sandwich art isn't yeah it's like
00:11:10
Ty Fresh
Well...
00:11:15
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:11:26
Ty Fresh
Right. You manifested it.
00:11:30
Think Fresh
If I say the words tomato, then when the tomato graces my tongue, I'm going to enjoy it because I've kind of given myself a bit of foreplay.
00:11:39
Ty Fresh
Right. Footlong is your colon's trigger word. It's like a sleeper cell and it activates and starts expanding in preparation for that missile to hit it.
00:11:49
Think Fresh
God damn it. Yeah. It starts, yeah, loosening up.
00:11:53
Ty Fresh
Yeah, it starts shaking itself off, does a few stretches.
00:11:56
Ty Fresh
It's like, okay, I know what's coming here.
00:11:56
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:11:59
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Totally.
00:11:59
Ty Fresh
oh you got three sauces.
00:12:01
Think Fresh
I start doing a metaphorical cat cow.
00:12:01
Ty Fresh
but okay
00:12:05
Ty Fresh
Yes, the white blood cells are arming themselves and at the ready.
00:12:14
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. um Okay. What were we talking about? Hot dogs.
00:12:18
Ty Fresh
Hot dogs.
00:12:19
Think Fresh
What kind of hot dog did you have? And what but's what was going on there?
00:12:24
Ty Fresh
yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, All great questions. I would like to tell you every every little detail about this dog. Okay, so it's obviously a veggie dog. like ah Some people are like, I got a bone to pick with you.
00:12:40
Ty Fresh
But me, I don't got a bone in there. There's no bones in any of this stuff. um I haven't put my tongue on a bone in a long time. But this dog... was a It was pretty pretty good, let's just say.
00:12:55
Ty Fresh
Let's just say it's pretty good, Eric.
00:12:56
Think Fresh
Wow. This is a podcast at the end of the day. um Tell me why it was good. Did it have, did it come with a bun or or were you just raw dog and glizzies slurping them down?
00:13:02
Ty Fresh
Yes.
00:13:06
Ty Fresh
No, dude.

Cheese in Hot Dogs: Inside or Out?

00:13:07
Ty Fresh
the The bun is obviously the best part. We got a nice sesame bun. help this This veggie dog brand is called um Big Mountain. It's a local brand.
00:13:17
Ty Fresh
Bad news, Eric. Carnivores and vegetarians alike are all familiar with Eve's. Eve's dogs. They're the most iconic vegetarian pseudo meat um maybe in North America.
00:13:26
Think Fresh
Oh, yes.
00:13:30
Think Fresh
mm-hmm mm-hmm they were around that was go say they were around before like all the beyond the beyond corporation yeah
00:13:33
Ty Fresh
Eve's actually based out of Oh, sorry. They've been around where?
00:13:43
Ty Fresh
Yeah, they predate beyond. They might even predate tofu. they So, like, old heads in the alternative meat industry here over at Eves. And Eves is founded in Vancouver, of course.
00:13:58
Ty Fresh
Vancouver being the epicenter of...
00:13:58
Think Fresh
really
00:14:01
Ty Fresh
ah I guess you could say like alternative lifestyle cuisines.
00:14:08
Think Fresh
I like that. I like that. Very inclusive. um So you but you didn't have Eves? You went with something else?
00:14:15
Ty Fresh
I did because Eve's Eric is going bankrupt this year. They're going out of business.
00:14:20
Ty Fresh
they're They're pulling an essence. I'm losing a lot of lot of brands this year.
00:14:20
Think Fresh
Oh, shit.
00:14:23
Think Fresh
Oh, no. Dude, Essence and Eves. Thank God that Eves Saint Laurent is still around, right?
00:14:29
Ty Fresh
Yeah, that's true.
00:14:32
Think Fresh
Like in the Venn diagram, like do you just have Eves and Essence, and then right in the middle is... eaves himself you know wow and essence is on what street ty saint laurent boulevard
00:14:39
Ty Fresh
yeah. They dropped the Eves. It's just St. Laurent now. ah Yeah, tough times for Ty.
00:14:49
Ty Fresh
St. Laurent Boulevard. That's right. I did know that because I walked to St. Laurent Boulevard the other day. Mm-hmm.
00:14:55
Think Fresh
uh-huh so what do we do about this ty there's clearly this is more than a coincidence yeah
00:14:59
Ty Fresh
There's a connection. There's something deeper going on. I think there's a a targeted, intentional attempt to delete Eve's from as a term as a term from society.
00:15:13
Ty Fresh
Like, shut down Essence, shut down the Wieners. I don't know what else. Maybe Christmas Eve is next?
00:15:20
Think Fresh
Well done. um I don't know if it's just Eve's tie. I would actually expand this to all French Canadian isms.
00:15:29
Ty Fresh
o
00:15:29
Think Fresh
I think French Canadia is being erased from our memory in broad day.
00:15:35
Ty Fresh
Right, right. Yeah, their culture and their history and their people are ah yeah like one generation at a time becoming more and more British and they don't like it.
00:15:48
Think Fresh
and um what's going on with poutine these days i feel like i feel like every city around earth is making poutine and they're like yo we're not giving credit to the quebecois because fuck them this is this is just fries and gravy you don't deserve to claim these ingredients together you know what i mean it's just two simple things like in down south they've been eating gravy on everything since but since the slave years.
00:16:15
Think Fresh
I
00:16:15
Ty Fresh
Yeah, and like and rightly so for these other nations to take Putin as their own because it's not that special. And like every time I eat it, I feel like I'm eating a satire of what it's supposed to be.
00:16:24
Think Fresh
mean...
00:16:27
Ty Fresh
It's supposed to be this ah like kind of like, what would you call it? A del delicacy, if you will. But it just tastes like fries and gravy. And then you're like, did I get fooled by the branding of this term?
00:16:38
Think Fresh
i mean
00:16:42
Think Fresh
Call it a delicacy if you want, but already know when I'm done eating or done partying at like three, four in the morning, I'm going straight to Fritz over on Davie street, getting one of those poutines with some mayo on the side.
00:16:52
Ty Fresh
Oh yeah, shout out to Fritz.
00:16:56
Think Fresh
And it's a glorious invention. and won't lie, but I don't know. Like, do we need to give credit where credit's due or can we just absorb it? Can all other cultures just absorb this good idea?

Stuffed Crust Pizza: Quality Dough or Cheese Attraction?

00:17:10
Ty Fresh
I think it's okay if you like gentrify poutine. The French, they got a lot going on. They don't need they don't need this as well
00:17:19
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I agree.
00:17:21
Ty Fresh
I agree, but...
00:17:22
Think Fresh
i Back to the thread that is tying this whole episode together. What were the toppings on your veggie dog?
00:17:29
Ty Fresh
Yes, ah let's top this off. ah We got a thin slice of mozzarella cheese because I think a cheese and a dog is always a ah deluxe.
00:17:37
Think Fresh
Oh. Mm-hmm.
00:17:41
Ty Fresh
You're not going to get that at the ball game.
00:17:41
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:17:43
Ty Fresh
You're not going to get that at the but backyard barbecue. It's only when you're making your own hot dog do you get to put cheese on it. Isn't that and insane?
00:17:50
Think Fresh
it's a naughty little move but i fully support it it's so so good
00:17:54
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I'm taking that chance anytime I can. Also, a little bit of barbecue sauce and a little bit of spicy jalapeno aioli.
00:18:04
Think Fresh
oh this is like subway level dog creation so you got your cheese and toasted on the sesame bread and you got you got two sauces on that bitch
00:18:05
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:18:13
Ty Fresh
I did.
00:18:15
Ty Fresh
Double sauce. And then for toppings, I did some thinly sliced carrot sticks. Kind of like the kind you'd find in a sushi roll.
00:18:25
Think Fresh
ah Okay, like shredded carrot.
00:18:26
Ty Fresh
Yeah. Kind of shredded, kind of, but more like sticky. Like a crunchy stick, you know, like ah like a toothpick.
00:18:31
Think Fresh
Sticky? Oh, I see. Okay. I see, I see.
00:18:36
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:18:36
Think Fresh
So not so thin that it's kind of like turns to grass. It's more more of a stick, a carrot stick, a hickory stick.
00:18:42
Ty Fresh
Yeah. and At a third certain thinness, the carrot becomes almost liquefied. You know, you get you shred it too good and now you just got pulp.
00:18:50
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:18:52
Ty Fresh
We didn't want that. We want some crunch.
00:18:53
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:18:54
Ty Fresh
We want some, and keep the integrity of the carrot alive.
00:18:58
Think Fresh
Nice. Yeah, that's good.
00:19:00
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:19:00
Think Fresh
Carrots, cheese, barbecue sauce.
00:19:00
Ty Fresh
And then.
00:19:04
Ty Fresh
hmm.
00:19:05
Think Fresh
You say jalapeno aioli?
00:19:07
Ty Fresh
You nailed it. And then one last kicker of an ingredient, a bagel slab of, yeah, go for it.
00:19:11
Think Fresh
Can I guess?
00:19:14
Ty Fresh
Guess away, my friend.
00:19:15
Think Fresh
A big old slab of. ah going to guess a slab of vegetarian chili.
00:19:24
Ty Fresh
You know what? I'm going to say that that was the closest you probably could get without guessing it because it is a different, different, it's adjacent to that. Let's just say it's adjacent.
00:19:38
Think Fresh
adjacent to chili
00:19:40
Ty Fresh
adjacent it's chili adjacent food i can't think of a better way to describe it yeah what is that cue you okay chili's hot and hot and mushy you need something cold and crunchy
00:19:45
Think Fresh
chili adjacent so uh chili what is the opposite of chili hot uh hot sauce hot and mushy cold and crunchy geez dude um it's a flavor explosion cold and crunchy ah
00:20:07
Ty Fresh
cold crunchy goes with chili what do you think
00:20:11
Think Fresh
Cold crunchy tortilla chip.
00:20:13
Ty Fresh
The tortilla chip. That's a great answer. That's not it. I'm talking about coleslaw, baby.
00:20:20
Think Fresh
Oh. Wait, that goes with chili? They're both slop. They don't go together.
00:20:24
Ty Fresh
both slob. Well, okay. You wouldn't eat them necessarily together, but I feel like they, they end up at a lot of the same parties. You know, they're and they run in different social circles, but through some mutual connections, they end up at the same places at the same time.
00:20:35
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:20:39
Ty Fresh
I've seen them on the same tables many times.
00:20:42
Think Fresh
It is kind of like Tex-Mex, right? It's American meets Mexican.
00:20:48
Ty Fresh
and from that's exactly it the chili and the coal coal and chill the
00:20:55
Think Fresh
Cold chill. Very cool. um So that's another sauce, really, if you think about it, because coleslaw is like 99% mayo.
00:21:05
Ty Fresh
one percent cabbage
00:21:05
Think Fresh
So 1% cabbage and additional carrots. So you had so hold on, you had You had double carrot, triple sauce, and lettuce hot dog.
00:21:18
Ty Fresh
Yeah, it was so good.
00:21:19
Think Fresh
That's crazy, dude.
00:21:20
Ty Fresh
Damn.
00:21:21
Think Fresh
damn that's awesome. um Ty, I had my dogs taken away from me. I got neutered this weekend.
00:21:27
Ty Fresh
Oh no. he will He lost your manhood.
00:21:29
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. I did. i had a hot dog for lunch, as you know. But following that, my the rest of the hot dogs were given away to our neighbor. Yeah.
00:21:41
Ty Fresh
Wait, you you you give away food in your in your home?
00:21:43
Think Fresh
Yeah, I was cut off. I don't know. I got cut off the dog ah today and I'm not sure why my life partner um decided to do that.
00:21:57
Think Fresh
She said they're not healthy and I can't have more, um which is you know my smelly wife.
00:22:00
Ty Fresh
Wow. What a stinky wife move.
00:22:06
Think Fresh
um She yeah decided that four hot dogs in 24 hours was too much for me. And then I had to lay off the dog.
00:22:15
Ty Fresh
No, that's insane. I can't believe that you have someone making, making these types of life decisions for you.
00:22:17
Think Fresh
Yeah. Bad news.
00:22:23
Think Fresh
i know I had no say in the matter. um
00:22:26
Ty Fresh
Wow.
00:22:26
Think Fresh
But like I said, I did have four dogs in the last 24 hours. Three of them were Parkside. um Yeah. They also had. They have on there some jalapenos, onions, ketchup, mustard, some relish, pickled onions as well as raw.
00:22:46
Ty Fresh
Yeah. Ooh, that's good.
00:22:48
Think Fresh
um
00:22:49
Ty Fresh
Double onion.
00:22:50
Think Fresh
Yeah, and they were big smokies, dude. I love me a big smoky.
00:22:52
Ty Fresh
Yeah. Yeah, you do.
00:22:55
Think Fresh
It's a real girth play.
00:22:55
Ty Fresh
That's great. That's great. that's some That's some good like classic dog energy happening.
00:23:02
Think Fresh
It's almost out of a comic book. That's how comical they were.
00:23:06
Ty Fresh
I would imagine that they had a very cartoonish, like kind of looked like the emoji.
00:23:11
Think Fresh
Yeah, they looked exactly like the emoji. Yeah.
00:23:14
Ty Fresh
so So, okay, so you ate four of them in one sitting.
00:23:14
Think Fresh
Yeah,
00:23:17
Ty Fresh
Clearly that didn't sit well with your smelly wife. So then she she said, like, no more wiener. Like, you are circumcised. Like, I don't get it And then she gave them away to ah neighbor.
00:23:26
Think Fresh
dude.
00:23:29
Ty Fresh
Like, she didn't put them in the trash. She said, I'm going to give this. I would rather a stranger take these than you get to enjoy that again.
00:23:36
Think Fresh
Yeah. I mean, i think she sees it as more of a long-term benefit to me. Then it's a short-term pleasure that I'm giving up for long-term health and wellness, you know, shout out to Oberg.
00:23:42
Ty Fresh
Right. Right.
00:23:50
Think Fresh
um
00:23:50
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I get that.
00:23:51
Think Fresh
But yeah.
00:23:51
Ty Fresh
I get that. I mean, a healthy lifestyle is a decision you make every single day, right? Because it's very tempting to drink seven beers or eat four hot dogs.
00:23:59
Think Fresh
That's right.
00:24:02
Ty Fresh
Every single day I could do that for the rest of my life. That life would be very short.
00:24:04
Think Fresh
I wrestle with that. Yeah, dude.
00:24:07
Ty Fresh
You wrestle too, right?
00:24:09
Think Fresh
I wrestle with that constantly, dude. Like, do I just get a hot dog and a beer right now? Because that would make me's fucking happy. would make me so fucking happy right now.
00:24:14
Ty Fresh
Yeah. Do I choose... Is a short happy life better than a long unfulfilled one?
00:24:21
Think Fresh
I'm here for a mid-time and a long time.
00:24:26
Ty Fresh
You could have the worst of both worlds, which is one hot dog once a week.
00:24:30
Think Fresh
Yeah, one long, hard life, Ty. Mm-hmm.
00:24:33
Ty Fresh
Yeah. We just out here living for that glizzy. ah
00:24:37
Think Fresh
What are the what are what are but are our company's thoughts on um the chees cheesy dog? Because like if the cheese is visible, you know it's it elevates the dog to a higher plane.
00:24:52
Think Fresh
it's Suddenly it's homemade. you know It's got a lot of aura.
00:24:54
Ty Fresh
who
00:24:56
Think Fresh
But a lot of dogs come with cheese injected inside.
00:25:00
Ty Fresh
yeah
00:25:01
Think Fresh
And usually you don't really know until you take your first bite and then shoots hot cheese down your chin and it scolds you.
00:25:09
Think Fresh
um So what do we think about this? Like, do we prefer the internal cheese or the external cheese?
00:25:16
Ty Fresh
i um I got to go with external cheese here. The internal cheese is not only ah dangerous and unexpected. It it's never tastes quite like cheese either. It's so hot.
00:25:29
Ty Fresh
It's almost like fused with the hot dog oil to the point that it's incomprehensibly even cheese-y.
00:25:38
Think Fresh
It's fused to the point where you can't put it out with a fire extinguisher. Like the oil just keeps burning forever inside your gut too.
00:25:44
Ty Fresh
Yeah, totally. it'll It'll look like one of those like giant like gates of hell pits in like i rural Iran or something where petrol's just coming out of the ground and it's been lit for 500 years.
00:25:57
Think Fresh
who yeah I take a bite one of those cheese dogs and my mouth looks like one of those fire pits and I got steam coming out of both ears.
00:26:03
Ty Fresh
Like Elmer Fudd kind of situation.
00:26:05
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:26:06
Ty Fresh
okay ah Yeah.
00:26:09
Think Fresh
of Cheese train is taken off from the station.
00:26:10
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:26:13
Ty Fresh
theoretically, like it's one of those situations where it's like, just cause mankind could, doesn't mean they should.
00:26:13
Think Fresh
fuck.
00:26:18
Ty Fresh
They figured out how to like, give the hot dog, like re-inject blood into the veins and that blood is melted cheddar, but that doesn't mean they should have.
00:26:25
Think Fresh
No, i I completely agree. Cheese belongs on the outside of things because it presents well and it's it maintains a safe temperature.
00:26:36
Ty Fresh
Hmm.
00:26:39
Think Fresh
You know, it's the first thing to cool down and solidify.
00:26:39
Ty Fresh
Hmm. Hmm.
00:26:43
Ty Fresh
Yeah, yeah, which adds some structural integrity to whatever you're consuming, and you can kind of rely on that. But I will say the exception to the rule, Eric, is a stuffed crust.
00:26:49
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:26:52
Ty Fresh
i'm I'm a nasty little guy when I see a stuffed crust around. i get I get a little freaky. I ain't going to turn that down if that's on the um an option on the menu.
00:27:01
Think Fresh
Yeah. You start biting the crust and people when you see one of those.
00:27:07
Ty Fresh
Dude, it's hard to know where the crust stops and my fingers begin. ah
00:27:12
Think Fresh
I don't know. Wow.
00:27:13
Ty Fresh
Well, and here's the thing, especially if it's like a non-conventional cheese, like if they're going to hit me with like a stuffed ricotta crust or a stuffed, like, i like maybe even, even if they call it fior de latte, I'm sold.
00:27:26
Ty Fresh
um I'm in. I know it's just mozzarella. I don't care.
00:27:31
Think Fresh
I'll pay more for it. I don't care. Just give me, give me, give me.
00:27:32
Ty Fresh
i will.
00:27:36
Ty Fresh
There's no way I'm turning that down.
00:27:36
Think Fresh
Oh, fuck.
00:27:39
Think Fresh
And, you know, couple that with. Maybe a marinara dip on the side. We're talking Little Caesars now.
00:27:44
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude. now Dude, you just you just got a free appy at that point.
00:27:50
Think Fresh
Yeah, I biked past Little Caesars two days ago and I was thinking like, wow, this is a throwback. I need be some crazy bread ASAP.
00:27:58
Ty Fresh
Yeah. And here's the thing with the stuffed crust, Eric. If the the the business is offering to stuff the crust, it means they don't really believe in their crust to begin with.

Future Cheese Experiments and Hot Dog Plans

00:28:11
Ty Fresh
They know the crust isn't going to be good enough on its own. So why why else would they offer? So take it. Take the opportunity.
00:28:18
Think Fresh
Oh, I see. Okay. I see what you're saying. So they've quite literally put a bandaid on it you know?
00:28:26
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm. They're like, cheese will fix our problems, which it usually does.
00:28:28
Think Fresh
i see. It usually does. Yeah.
00:28:32
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:28:33
Think Fresh
Oh, wow. I'm so hungry, dude. God damn it.
00:28:37
Ty Fresh
You ever like absolutely blow it when you're making a footlong, you're like, you're in the sauce section, you're like, this is this thing's a stinker. So then you send it back to the cheese department, you're like, that that'll fix it, you know, a little bit more cheese before we send this home.
00:28:46
Think Fresh
More cheese.
00:28:50
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Honestly, not a bad idea. It's a really easy way to yeah fix prior mistakes.
00:28:56
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:28:56
Think Fresh
um I think, Ty, goal for the great lock-in of September 2025 is we need to start experimenting with cheese at Subway.
00:29:06
Think Fresh
You what I mean?
00:29:07
Ty Fresh
who
00:29:07
Think Fresh
Like, we always just say yes to the old, age-old cheese and toasted question, which is a double yes if you want to dissect it.
00:29:13
Ty Fresh
who
00:29:15
Think Fresh
But we should maybe say toast it But give me that mozzarella.
00:29:20
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude.
00:29:20
Think Fresh
Let's play with the mozzarella today, you know?
00:29:22
Ty Fresh
yeah Cheddar? We can do better.
00:29:27
Think Fresh
White is not always right.
00:29:28
Ty Fresh
Yeah. So I love this idea. I think this is a good goal as a part of our continued expansion of our knowledge of making the perfect footlong is that we need to rip more on the cheats. We're not doing it a good service.
00:29:44
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Mozzarella? I barely know her.
00:29:49
Ty Fresh
Cheddar? I don't know
00:29:53
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Cheddar? Never wetter.
00:29:57
Ty Fresh
her. Yeah, that's like a good way to describe the cheddar at Subway. um
00:30:00
Think Fresh
Yeah, sure is.
00:30:03
Ty Fresh
On that note breadheads, I think it's time for Eric to go get a bite and for me to go make a second hot dog.
00:30:09
Think Fresh
Dude, be careful. You might get them taken away from you.
00:30:12
Ty Fresh
yeah You have to eat the second one, it's secret.
00:30:15
Think Fresh
Yeah, make it. And then if ah Bay ever asked, where did that dog go? we were one short to say, modern don't know. Dog ate my homework, I guess.
00:30:23
Ty Fresh
Dog ate my hot dog.
00:30:28
Think Fresh
All right. Bright heads. to you later.
00:30:30
Ty Fresh
Ciao.
