Ty's Health and Weather-related Etymology
00:00:51
Think Fresh
but bump form
00:00:53
Ty Fresh
but boom well boy oh That's kind of what it sounds like.
00:01:00
Think Fresh
Ty, I don't know what it is, but you sound like your nose is filled with mucus. Is that an accurate assessment?
00:01:07
Ty Fresh
That is a disgusting assessment. That is unfortunately accurate. I don't know what happened, but I'm i'm under the weather right now, Eric. i it's it is It's so cringe. There's nothing cringier than being just a little sick.
00:01:19
Ty Fresh
Like like your body couldn't handle nature.
00:01:25
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude, my ah my co host here is Siki poo, unfortunately.
00:01:29
Think Fresh
So that means we're gonna to struggle through your ah sniffles. But ah technically, aren't all of us under the weather? Because the weather is above us.
00:01:29
Ty Fresh
I'm a bit sicky poop.
00:01:37
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I guess so. it So I am no, you are no better than me in that regard. I was actually thinking about that right before this episode started. so I was trying to look up the phrase under the weather and figure out what, what is the kind of initial cause of that phrase?
00:01:53
Think Fresh
Etymology.
00:01:53
Ty Fresh
um
00:01:54
Ty Fresh
Yeah, the etymology, exactly. um he etymology It comes actually from ah seasickness and the same sailor's life, the pirate's life, Eric.
00:02:07
Ty Fresh
Under the weather is shorthand for under the weather bow, which is the side of the ship that took the brunt of rough wind and waves during a storm. So a sick sailor would be sent below deck to recover, literally putting them under the effects of the weather above.
00:02:22
Think Fresh
Huh. Dude, good thing we live such soft-handed lives now. We just, like, don't have to ever think about the weather. You know i mean? We just stay inside, open up our laptops, and fire off a few fake emails.
00:02:36
Think Fresh
Life is pretty easy. you know I'm saying? We're recording right now. We're remote. um don't even have to be near you, even though you're sick.
00:02:43
Ty Fresh
It's incredible. Yeah, you are you are safe from my disgust. But me and the sailors of yesteryear are suffering from the same inflictions, which is under the
Fisherman's Friend and Maritime Heritage
00:02:53
Ty Fresh
weather.
00:02:53
Ty Fresh
And we're suffering from it from the same cause, which is excessive drinking.
00:03:00
Think Fresh
so are you hung over is that the real issue here or did you hit the jewel too many hard too many times too many too hard i don't even know what i'm saying anymore what's wrong with you
00:03:11
Ty Fresh
just I'm just a man trying to get by, dude. I'm ah running on stale bread, you could say, you know?
00:03:14
Think Fresh
damn
00:03:19
Think Fresh
Yeah. Kind of related tie. um I've always been curious about the lozenge called Fisherman's friend. Are you familiar with the brand?
00:03:29
Ty Fresh
oh i am I would consider myself a friend of the fishermen.
00:03:30
Think Fresh
And, uh,
00:03:33
Think Fresh
Yeah, so there's kind of like a weird triangle happening here where it's like being under the weather is related to being sick, which is related to having a lozenge called fisherman's
Podcast Snacks and Car Crumbs
00:03:42
Think Fresh
friend. Like there's a whole through line there.
00:03:44
Think Fresh
And so makes me wonder, like, how bad is it to be out on the water that you would find friendship in a tiny little lemon drop?
00:03:44
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:03:55
Think Fresh
You know, like what's going on with these fishermen that they need this little lozenge that tastes like super strong it's the strongest one
00:04:05
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude. I will imagine it's like day 99 in the middle of sea. You haven't seen land in months, let alone look hello a woman.
00:04:15
Ty Fresh
And you like all you want to do is feel something. You start befriending a lot of stuff like Tom Hanks volleyball ask, you know, that little lemon drop that can make you feel a lot.
00:04:25
Think Fresh
right
00:04:28
Ty Fresh
That guy is your friend. The sea man's amigo.
00:04:33
Think Fresh
Yeah, man. I mean, we shouldn't call them Fisherman's Friend anymore. We should just call them Wilson. Am I right?
00:04:39
Ty Fresh
facts right there but the thing with the fisherman's friend that i
00:04:40
Think Fresh
Wilson!
00:04:43
Ty Fresh
i really respect fisherman's friends brandy because i feel like they're part of a like small group of like heritage brands that are easily accessible by regular people that have like maintained this kind of like decorative ornamental aesthetic like hand-drawn like ah Kind of like Marvis vibes, you know, like there's like a, almost a regal quality to what I imagine the Fisherman Friends branding to be.
00:05:09
Ty Fresh
They haven't given into the San Sarah clean lined futuristic minimalism of our blue chip tech stocks.
00:05:19
Think Fresh
No, you're totally right. We've, there's few brands that graphic designers haven't colonized yet. And a fisherman's friend is one of them.
00:05:25
Ty Fresh
Mm.
00:05:27
Think Fresh
um
00:05:28
Ty Fresh
Like.
00:05:28
Think Fresh
Do you think as you know, our savior Greta Thunberg, as she sails across the black sea or whatever, she, is she hucking the, is she hawk to wing and getting the fisherman's friend involved?
00:05:45
Ty Fresh
Oh, dude. Yeah, this is a great a great connection you're making here. I think Greta's absolutely a friend of all fishermen. Because you know what?
00:05:55
Ty Fresh
I think Greta probably believes in well-stocked oceans. And that means ah a well-stuffed pockets for the seamen.
00:06:04
Think Fresh
does it mean, Ty?
00:06:09
Think Fresh
Yes. Okay. Great. She's on a stalking mission.
00:06:16
Ty Fresh
Yeah, she's a stalker.
Luxury Cars and Fast Food Economics
00:06:19
Think Fresh
I'm noticing for the first time now that there's a lot of powdered sugar on my passenger seat. Now that you're not sitting there, I can see all the crumbs you've left here over the over the weeks.
00:06:27
Ty Fresh
Oh, come on.
00:06:28
Think Fresh
And um I got to stop feeding you cookies. i think it's too many cookies, dude. Like whenever I pod with you, I give you a little sweet treat, a Rice Krispie, a little cookie here and there. And now I'm realizing all the the mess you've made.
00:06:44
Ty Fresh
Yeah, dude, this is you you can only blame your yourself here because after every episode you pull out of your like your glove compartment, a delicious snack. And then you say to me, good boy.
00:06:57
Ty Fresh
and then I gobble, gobble up that treat. And then we publish the episode.
00:07:02
Think Fresh
That's so funny. Yeah, I have to, have to bribe you with treats. And that's how I know you're going to, you know, bring it every episode. Because ah you know that there's a treat at the end of this, the of this recording.
00:07:14
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I know what I'm working towards here.
00:07:15
Think Fresh
it's kind of It's kind of like when you're hanging out with a dog and then you like say all of its favorite words just casually. It's like, oh yeah, I went on a great walk today. And then the dog's ears perk up.
00:07:29
Think Fresh
It's like, I have to do that same thing with you. I got ah gotta talk about the footlong cookie. I gotta talk about the footlong churro. These things get you activated.
00:07:38
Ty Fresh
Oh yeah, there's definitely a few keywords there. Footlong cookie, falafel, cheese and toasted.
00:07:47
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Veggie delightful. Are
00:07:52
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:07:53
Think Fresh
but you okay?
00:07:53
Ty Fresh
we We all have them.
00:07:54
Think Fresh
Do you need to blow your nose or something?
00:07:54
Ty Fresh
We all have what we're looking for.
00:07:58
Ty Fresh
yeah do you mind if I do that?
00:08:01
Think Fresh
Dude, just go ahead and blow your nose already.
00:08:05
Think Fresh
Jesus.
00:08:07
Ty Fresh
Is my voice getting progressively like nastier?
00:08:11
Think Fresh
Yeah, it is. You need a fisherman's friend. I'm so happy we did not pod.
00:08:16
Ty Fresh
you're the closest thing I got. lot I'll have to go with...
00:08:19
Think Fresh
I think we're experiencing some lag here, of breadheads. I i apologize. But um I think you're I'm glad that you went home today.
00:08:31
Ty Fresh
Me too. If I was in your passenger seat munching on a cookie right now, I would be making you extremely ill.
00:08:38
Think Fresh
Yeah. Hey, time. So i'm I'm sitting outside Subway, right? And I just saw an old acquaintance of mine pull up in a G-Wagon and then go into Subway.
00:08:43
Ty Fresh
Of course.
00:08:49
Think Fresh
And yeah, I'm kind of like, when did you get a G-Wagon?
00:08:50
Ty Fresh
Oh,
00:08:54
Think Fresh
And also, do you want to like be in the passenger seat with me right now? That's kind of where I'm at with it.
00:09:00
Ty Fresh
yeah you're Yeah, the door is open right now. You are accepting new co-hosts.
00:09:06
Think Fresh
Yeah, tie ties video feed is on my passenger seat, but I'm willing to move him to the backseat so that we can get a guest on. Mm
00:09:16
Ty Fresh
Dude, the if you're rolling up in like a nice whip to Subway and then you're walking in like that's surely like a secret mission. You don't want anyone to know you're there, right? Like this isn't a performative like meal.
00:09:26
Think Fresh
hmm. Mm
00:09:29
Think Fresh
hmm. I mean, obviously, Jesus.
00:09:31
Ty Fresh
oh
00:09:36
Think Fresh
Obviously, Ty, you have to have a some kind of wealth in order to afford Subway these days. Like, the days of the $5 foot long are long, long gone, Ty. Inflation ate that shit up.
00:09:36
Ty Fresh
We will stop it.
00:09:47
Think Fresh
Inflation said, let me get a 12-inch.
00:09:47
Ty Fresh
That's true.
00:09:50
Ty Fresh
Gobble, gobble.
00:09:55
Ty Fresh
So, yeah, I guess that's true. So you're saying that it's ah some fast food. chain Well, some fast food chains have always been a like maybe a bit of a like performative move. Like that's kind of what sweet green is in a way. Like if sweet green is your daily driver, you're doing pretty well for yourself.
00:10:14
Think Fresh
Yeah, no, I agree.
00:10:14
Ty Fresh
Even like five guys, like your, your average, like middle-class American isn't hitting five guys on the daily.
00:10:20
Ty Fresh
That is like a special burger.
00:10:24
Think Fresh
A special burger for a special guy. All five of them.
00:10:28
Ty Fresh
And the signature menu at Subway, that shit's reserved for CEOs, people in private equity. um
00:10:35
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. um I was just thinking about Five Guys recently and um was thinking about how um they load up the bag with fries.
00:10:46
Think Fresh
I mean, they put like you order a small fry and it comes in a tiny little cup, but then they just always top the bag off. with an extra scoop and it got me thinking like they put a lot of effort into making you feel like you're fleecing them you know I mean like I feel like I got a good deal here and so Subway is just doing the opposite like I every time I go in there I feel like I'm getting gypped bro like it's all of a sudden one less handful of lettuce every time you know
00:11:10
Ty Fresh
dude totally
00:11:14
Ty Fresh
and like it's nothing on their books to just like put a few more leaves of spinach on that sandwich especially if like they train the sandwich artist to offer more like you sure you don't do you want any more veggies like put like hey i'm not supposed to do this but like how about we run another row of tomato slices here
00:11:28
Think Fresh
Oh, yeah.
00:11:30
Think Fresh
Oh, dude. Yeah. If they even like give you a little hint like that, that would go a long way, I think.
00:11:35
Ty Fresh
Yeah, because you're so right. Like every time I go to Five Guys, I feel like I'm like getting such special treatment and I'm exploiting this business for the only time you get this kind of exploitation opportunities, five guys and like on an airline when like you befriend the stewardess and they give you an extra beer can of Coke.
00:11:48
Think Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:11:52
Think Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:11:55
Think Fresh
You good?
00:11:56
Ty Fresh
So, yeah, yeah. So I just, yeah, I feel like somebody needs to tap into this. Like, what if they put your, like, they wrap up your sandwich, they put it in the bag, and then they just go to the lettuce bucket, grab a handful of lettuce, and just put it in the bag.
00:12:09
Ty Fresh
Like, a little extra for you there, buddy.
00:12:10
Think Fresh
Oh, dude.
00:12:11
Ty Fresh
Have a good one.
00:12:11
Think Fresh
That's awesome. That's fucking awesome. I would actually love that to eat.
00:12:17
Ty Fresh
Enjoy your day, boss.
00:12:17
Think Fresh
I mean, we already... yeah That would be awesome because we already enjoy the lettuce as if they are fries. We eat them off the paper, mostly. You know i mean? Like, all the lettuce is always on the paper.
00:12:28
Think Fresh
I'm using that as a side dish.
00:12:28
Ty Fresh
Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah, dude, I'm sick. I'm like that. I'm just like sprinkling it in my mouth.
00:12:36
Think Fresh
I just also realized, like, if you get nachos... You could just dump the um extra stragglers that are on your paper onto your nacho set.
00:12:48
Ty Fresh
Yeah, that's true. Hey, speaking of lettuce, there's a fucking dude mowing the lawn right next to me. Can you hear that?
00:12:54
Think Fresh
i can hear it.
00:12:57
Ty Fresh
Dude, they haven't mowed the lawn in my condo for like the strata has been really ah denying yard care. But of course, the one time I record from my patio, they decided to do this. Incredible.
00:13:08
Ty Fresh
How bad is it?
00:13:08
Think Fresh
That is incredible.
00:13:09
Ty Fresh
Dude,
00:13:10
Think Fresh
It's, um I would say, 40% bad.
00:13:13
Ty Fresh
I feel like my life is falling apart. In the last half an hour, I've recorded this podcast with a lawnmower. My house almost caught fire because I left a pizza box in the oven. And I'm also feeling under the weather like a seaman.
00:13:28
Think Fresh
Ty, I think all you gotta do is pull the mic as close as you can to your to your your chomper, and that'll...
00:13:34
Ty Fresh
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:34
Think Fresh
Oh, whoa. the sound oh whoa
00:13:35
Ty Fresh
And then Zencaster will work its magic.
00:13:38
Think Fresh
I think so. You want to turn down the knob on the back a little bit.
00:13:42
Ty Fresh
Oh, the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. but This will be great. It'll be like I'm sniffing right in your ear. Like I'm just trying to smell your ear hair.
00:13:50
Think Fresh
It does feel like you're whispering my ear from the backseat right now. Like, just drive.
00:13:53
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:13:55
Think Fresh
Just drive.
00:13:55
Ty Fresh
they Drive off a cliff. right
00:14:00
Think Fresh
My intrusive thoughts.
00:14:00
Ty Fresh
Oh, man.
00:14:01
Think Fresh
Dude, I almost hit a fucking deer on my way home from our hangout.
00:14:05
Ty Fresh
Oh, no way.
00:14:06
Think Fresh
Um... Yeah, I fucking saw this deer just standing in the middle of the highway. I like saw it from a distance and I was able to like slow down. But I was like squinting. I was like, what fuck? Who's standing on the middle of road?
00:14:20
Think Fresh
And then it's I get closer and it's a deer with this little floppy ears just looking at me.
00:14:24
Think Fresh
And I come to a little I come to an almost stop. And then this guy just prances off like this fucking they have no idea how lucky they are. But I don't have my 22.
00:14:25
Ty Fresh
Too cute.
00:14:33
Ty Fresh
Yeah. It's crazy that deers are now like immigrating into city centers. Like, uh, I think the ice agents to send all the deers back to the wilderness because they're here.
00:14:40
Think Fresh
yeah
00:14:46
Ty Fresh
They're not paying taxes. They're not economically contributing. They're causing problems on the roads and they're everywhere.
00:14:52
Think Fresh
but To be honest, ty I've only ever seen deer in person in two places. One is in Nara, Japan, and the other one is like around Burnaby Mountain. like i've I consistently see deer around Burnaby Mountain.
00:15:05
Think Fresh
like I've seen it like several occasions now.
00:15:05
Ty Fresh
Yeah, yeah. They have a little cult there.
00:15:09
Think Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:15:10
Ty Fresh
compound.
00:15:10
Think Fresh
A little culty. That's right. And I've only ever seen bears like walking, crawling distance from my house. I've never seen them like when I'm actually hiking or in a mountain.
00:15:22
Think Fresh
They just love to go through the subway dumpster. You know, it's like there's more fruitful findings in there than there is on the trail these days.
00:15:29
Ty Fresh
Dude, the subway dumpster is such a like lick for an animal. like If a raccoon like stumbles upon that thing, they're locking out because every single one of those buckets probably has to get dumped at the end of the day. That EOD is dumping time.
00:15:44
Think Fresh
I think end of week. Hmm.
00:15:44
Ty Fresh
All the EOW, yeah, once a week though, but that's still there's like a surplus there.
00:15:49
Ty Fresh
like All of those leftover black olives, all of that leftover green pepper,
00:15:57
Think Fresh
I think we got to figure out, Ty, what the schedule is for ah veggie delivery at Subway. Because i remember in the Anthony Bourdain book that you gave me, he talks about how like seafood arrives on Tuesday or something.
00:16:12
Think Fresh
So if you're eating on Monday or i don't know, it was one of the days.
00:16:12
Ty Fresh
Hmm.
00:16:17
Ty Fresh
This fucking lawnmower is, bro.
00:16:18
Think Fresh
God damn it. I like I'm ordering a side salad.
00:16:25
Ty Fresh
Yeah, the sandwiches is cutting your foot long in half with a chainsaw.
00:16:31
Think Fresh
um But anyways, like there's a schedule of things and we got to figure out when the fresh shit arrives. You i mean, the freshest possible, you know, freshest possible lettuce, et cetera, et cetera.
00:16:37
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:16:41
Ty Fresh
I wonder, though, like I would imagine that they have back stock going like perpetually. Like, yes, you just you have like a three day old bucket of spinach, but the next bucket of spinach they're going to break out two days old and it's waiting in the fridge. And then they have like seven more buckets back there. Like it's just perpetual. They're always putting the worst one out.
00:17:01
Ty Fresh
So I think what you actually have to do if you want to hit it fresh is you have to ask them to go into back and get some fresh stuff. You know when you get like the fry, like can I get fresh oil with my fries McDonald's?
00:17:11
Ty Fresh
You have to kind of play those type of cards where you make them work a little bit for you.
00:17:15
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Or at the deli. You know what I mean? Like, give me the give me the fresh shit.
00:17:20
Ty Fresh
Yeah, i don't want I don't want your display ham. I want the real shit.
00:17:26
Think Fresh
Yeah, you don't want you don't want it off the rack. you know I mean? You want the tailored shit, the bespoke version.
00:17:32
Ty Fresh
Yeah, it's actually kind of insane that you walk into a deli and you go up to the the counter and you just everyone by default takes the floor model. It's like that everyone knows the floor model the worst one. It's got a fly on it.
00:17:44
Ty Fresh
Like everyone like the the entire neighborhood has run a train on that salami.
00:17:44
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Yeah,
00:17:53
Think Fresh
and dude, everyone, everyone's uncle has already farted in this car. Mm
00:17:57
Ty Fresh
Yeah, exactly. So with that in mind, surely they have better meats in the back that they're saving for their VIPs. And Subway is no different.
00:18:05
Think Fresh
hmm. Mm
00:18:06
Ty Fresh
I'm sure there's a better tomato hidden behind the scenes.
00:18:08
Think Fresh
hmm.
00:18:09
Ty Fresh
so They're just saving for the guy that's willing ask.
00:18:12
Think Fresh
Yeah, that's right. As somebody who's worked in the deli, I can confirm that there are packages of ham ready to be sliced in the fridge.
00:18:23
Think Fresh
And chances are we're going to get there anyway. Might as well just open it up now for you, you know?
00:18:28
Ty Fresh
Yeah, exactly. Special request for a special boy.
00:18:32
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. That's right.
00:18:33
Ty Fresh
Good boy.
00:18:33
Think Fresh
That's right. God damn it. You've been obsessed with that lately. I don't know why, but you always say... Why do you say that, Ty? What's the fetish here that I'm missing out on?
00:18:45
Ty Fresh
oh please, Eric. I am simply mirroring you. You have been rewarding me with good boys all week for my ah for exceeding at your expectations.
00:18:56
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude. Ty somebody who occasionally it exceeds my expectations, which is really, really nice of him.
00:19:02
Ty Fresh
I try my best.
00:19:02
Think Fresh
I am on the other side of the spectrum, Ty. like to over promise and then under deliver. I would say that is my specialty.
00:19:08
Ty Fresh
Well, I know where you should work, dude. It's across the street from your car right now.
00:19:14
Think Fresh
Yeah, mere inches from where I am. and They say to park where you want to work. And I take that very literally.
00:19:22
Ty Fresh
Yeah, totally. ah so
00:19:25
Think Fresh
Imagine as a tactic for ah to get a job, you just like hang out in the parking lot of the office that you want to work in.
00:19:32
Think Fresh
Like you always take up the handicap spot.
00:19:33
Ty Fresh
If you befriend enough people, theoretically it could work because you just need to befriend every everyone that's going to work every day.
00:19:40
Ty Fresh
And then you'll have a bunch of references. They're like, oh, we know a guy that lingers out here.
00:19:42
Think Fresh
Oh yeah.
00:19:44
Ty Fresh
He needs a job. He seems talented.
00:19:46
Think Fresh
Yeah, you just always hang out with JJ Bean on on campus. And then everyone who works there like just kind of knows you as the JJ Bean guy.
00:19:55
Ty Fresh
Yeah, yeah. And then before you know it, you're pulling the shot you're calling the shots, as they say it in barista communities.
00:20:01
Think Fresh
Yeah, instead of pulling them. That's great.
00:20:04

Ty Fresh

00:21:23
Think Fresh
They, they like, added, like, cute pink branding to it. And I think just by seeing the pink and green branding together, people immediately gravitated towards the strawberry flavor because it just looks so aesthetic. It looks so kawaii. You know, you can't not order it.
00:21:38
Ty Fresh
no i can ah i can understand that it's and also like the if it kind of aligns with the cha-cha brand guidelines that people would maybe consider it to be the flagship fluid that they offer maybe it feels like a safer play than just maybe you're like straight up much

Think Fresh
Yeah, absolutely.
