Technical Difficulties and Jokes
00:00:49
Ty Fresh
going to Yep.
00:00:51
Think Fresh
Mic check, one, two, one, Ty fresh, Eric fresh in the building.
00:00:56
Ty Fresh
Ty Fresh, can you hear me? Can you hear me? We are coming to you live from the Epstein Island dentist office.
00:01:03
Think Fresh
hopeful
00:01:04
Ty Fresh
Reception isn't great.
00:01:07
Think Fresh
ah yeah, that's right. They just ran out of nitrous. So unfortunately, this pot is not going to work out very well. um But how are you, Ty? you holding up with that little a cavity you got going on?
00:01:18
Think Fresh
How's that healed up over time?
00:01:19
Ty Fresh
yeah Dude, they're exploring my cavities like crazy here.
00:01:26
Think Fresh
Oh, shit. Is it the ones in the back or is it the ones in the front?
00:01:29
Ty Fresh
yes Deep in the back. it's a
00:01:32
Think Fresh
Oh, shit.
00:01:32
Ty Fresh
It hurts.
00:01:34
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:01:35
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:01:36
Think Fresh
Fuck's sakes.
00:01:38
Ty Fresh
Dude, I don't know if you looked at any of those pictures this is that I'm referencing that have been circulating online. Just be like, yeah, it's these weird dental clinic on the island and the room just has like a a dental chair and then all these face masks on the wall.
00:01:44
Think Fresh
No.
00:01:56
Ty Fresh
And you you think to yourself, like, why do they have a dentist here?
00:01:56
Think Fresh
What the fuck?
00:01:59
Ty Fresh
You know, it's not that big of a place.
00:02:02
Think Fresh
Well, if you don't want to leave, but if you want to stay longer than six months, Ty, then you technically should have a dentist on site, you know?
00:02:10
Ty Fresh
Yeah, that's true. You have to make sure that people can like use their benefits that are on payroll.
00:02:16
Think Fresh
i heard that the RMT program on Epstein Island is very involved. Uh-huh.
00:02:23
Ty Fresh
Oh, dude, there's yeah, they're stretching you out good.
00:02:26
Think Fresh
Oh, absolutely. um Damn, bro.
00:02:28
Ty Fresh
The most limber employees like they're winning awards for like most limber.
Podcast Frequency Update
00:02:37
Ty Fresh
Some people get best employer, they get stretchiest.
00:02:37
Think Fresh
Jesus Christ. Yeah. Dude, you know what? Like the fact that we pod once a week or so, sometimes once every two weeks now, it takes me a while to like reacclimate to like what we talk about on the show on a what used to be a twice weekly basis, you know?
00:02:56
Think Fresh
I've kind of lost my, I'm no longer living in the sauce.
00:02:56
Ty Fresh
You're no longer living in that hay.
00:03:01
Ty Fresh
who Well, ah did you get your um subway wrapped over the last two weeks? oh wait, you're an Apple Music boy. you're You're crunching on real produce. You're not on that Spotify crack.
Music Streaming Features: Apple vs. Spotify
00:03:16
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude, I, uh, I'm on Apple music. That's right. Um, but Apple has their own kind of janky version of Spotify wrapped, which is called replay. Have you heard even heard?
00:03:26
Ty Fresh
oh No, no one's talking about replay.
00:03:30
Think Fresh
There's kind of cultural fervor around Apple music's replay. Um, it's just not as screenshotable, you know, that's really what a Spotify is for.
00:03:37
Ty Fresh
Hmm.
00:03:38
Think Fresh
If you think about it.
00:03:40
Ty Fresh
Yeah, they're the like sole sole like business keeping graphic design alive and it's on a seasonal basis.
00:03:47
Think Fresh
Totally. Um, which I can appreciate. It's like, how many ways can you tell me that my music sucks? Like year after year, it's like, they just refresh. the most atrocious fucking list of artists ever.
00:04:00
Ty Fresh
It's so funny because it's like, why is it? This is making me cringe so much, but also this is all the music I listen to. It's so funny. It's like, oh yeah, I like all this stuff. Huh? Great list.
Spotify Music Age and Algorithms
00:04:13
Think Fresh
So Ty, walk us through what is on the top of your ah your naughty list this year.
00:04:13
Ty Fresh
But it's like.
00:04:18
Ty Fresh
My naughty list. Well, this year was a little bit different, Eric, over on Spotify land because they gave us a ah music age. They assigned you an age based off your listening preferences.
00:04:27
Think Fresh
Oh,
00:04:31
Think Fresh
Gotcha. So are you underage?
00:04:32
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:04:33
Think Fresh
like let Let's put it this way, Ty. Would you be invited to the island?
00:04:38
Ty Fresh
I would be more of the invitee, Eric, because my age was whopping 82.
00:04:41
Think Fresh
Oh, okay.
00:04:44
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:04:46
Think Fresh
Oh, I keep seeing that. I keep seeing like a lot of people have listening age of 82 and at the age of 82, I'll be happy if I can still hear things, especially my wife.
00:04:54
Ty Fresh
the facts i think it's because i was listening to a lot of 50s era like jazzy romance music in anticipation of a lot of like wedding themed events um and that accidentally skewed my algo to thinking i was an old man an old italian man
00:05:09
Think Fresh
who
00:05:12
Think Fresh
Right.
00:05:15
Think Fresh
Right. So they wrote That's Amore in 1935. Yeah,
00:05:19
Ty Fresh
Something like that. But yeah, I did hear that if your music listening age is under 19, they kick you off Spotify completely. so
00:05:28
Think Fresh
but
00:05:29
Ty Fresh
this
00:05:30
Think Fresh
yeah you're not allowed to be on there after dark.
00:05:30
Ty Fresh
i mean yeah, if you blast the baby shark theme too many times, you are going to lose your Spotify privileges, which is probably for the best.
00:05:35
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I agree. um what is even What constitutes, a let's say, a 20-year-old listening palette these days? like Does that mean you're listening to artists that are 20?
00:05:51
Think Fresh
Or you're listening to artists that are that were making music when they were 20? What does that even mean? like i'm i'm not I'm not really comprehending the math.
00:06:01
Ty Fresh
I mean, nothing about this pseudoscience of the rapt is very objective, Eric.
00:06:10
Think Fresh
Must be AI.
00:06:11
Ty Fresh
It must be AI. I would assume that it's the target demographic of that listener or that musician. So like you get like ah a new new age Gen Z musician, like a Conan Gray or something, and you're going to be like falling under the like legal limit.
00:06:27
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:06:31
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. This is a funny statistic though, because I'm simultaneously listening to the Playboy Cardi album front to back. That was actually my top album this year,
00:06:40
Ty Fresh
Nice.
00:06:41
Think Fresh
ah
00:06:41
Ty Fresh
Of course it was.
00:06:43
Think Fresh
um which I was surprised by. I actually didn't think it would be, um but it's just the one al and that I just keep coming back to, I guess. It's got a lot of replay value, but I listened to that one, which i would guess would put me in the like 23 year old segment, um age band.
00:06:58
Ty Fresh
hmm.
00:07:00
Think Fresh
And then I'm also listening to like a lot of like 70s and 80s and 60s, like rock and roll and stuff. So I'm like, so does that just make me like 40?
00:07:09
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:07:11
Think Fresh
Are we going split the difference or, or, or like, or what? Like, how does that work?
00:07:17
Ty Fresh
I'm not really sure what they do about that. Two different sides of the same sandwich for sure.
00:07:23
Think Fresh
Definitely. Speaking of sides of the sandwich tie, we actually got our Subway podcast wrapped as well.
00:07:25
Ty Fresh
but
00:07:31
Ty Fresh
oh yeah. Wrapped wrapped makes, they they wrap it up to go for the podcasters too, which is ah so nice.
00:07:37
Think Fresh
That's right.
00:07:38
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:07:39
Think Fresh
Yeah, I feel like we don't deserve to see behind the sneeze guard, though, you know, as podcasters. Like, i feel like this is built for, like, artists who can, like, play an instrument. And, like, what we're seeing is, like, two idiots with a mic.
00:07:53
Think Fresh
um talking on zoom right now you know i mean it's like not the same but whatever i'll take it
00:07:56
Ty Fresh
Totally. It's also so funny because like as a content creator, you just expect to not get any of your data back. You're like, this is my like charitable donation to big tech is that I'm going to feed them as much context as they want and get nothing in return.
00:08:14
Think Fresh
yeah analytics is truly a charity if you think about it it's like they never had to give it back to us you know
00:08:20
Ty Fresh
Yeah, but here we are. with truly is a gifting season.
Desire for Enhanced Podcast Analytics
00:08:24
Think Fresh
Absolutely, dude.
00:08:24
Ty Fresh
And the numbers don't lie. We're killing it.
00:08:27
Think Fresh
Huge lump of coal under both of our trees this year, but um yeah, it be you know what they should do? Like they could do such a better job for podcasters um when it comes to Spotify wrapped, because like we know what our top episode is. We know that we are, you know,
00:08:47
Think Fresh
listen to in like 50 countries we know that we're gonna have like 900 growth year over here that's right you heard that right but what i want to know that's what yeah dude i want to know like when are people like clicking off the episode like what like what are we talking about when they like drop the most you know like but i need i need some more like game time fucking like
00:08:55
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm. That's what we're comping these days.
00:09:12
Think Fresh
What's that called? Like prop bets? Like when you bet on like the small shit in the game? Like do they leave when we talk about Subway or is that when they kind of lock in?
00:09:17
Ty Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:09:20
Ty Fresh
Yeah, yeah. what are Maybe we just need our listeners to feed feed us in the DMs. Like, what what what is making you stay? What is making you go? i want Yeah, I want to know that data, too. I want to know, like, what type of listeners we've acquired this year. Like, are they dirtbags? Are they well-to-do citizens?
00:09:38
Ty Fresh
Are they bots?
00:09:39
Think Fresh
like I can tell you that they listened to How Long Gone and Joe Rogan and Dax Shepard.
00:09:44
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:09:47
Think Fresh
Those are the top three other podcasts that they listened to. so
00:09:50
Ty Fresh
Gotcha, great. So shout out to anybody that just came from Armchair Expert. We're a bit of a sandwich experts, if you will.
00:09:59
Think Fresh
That's right. And shout out to you bald white guys because we seem to kind of like group all of them together. And I i guess I'm in that boat too.
00:10:08
Ty Fresh
Yeah, but um regardless of your hair length, we as um as ah the hosts don't persecute anybody for any length, but that doesn't mean the alga won't, you know, the alga unrestrained unchanged right there.
00:10:21
Think Fresh
no the algo's ruthless oh fuck well that's our shit I guess um our top episode if anyone gives a fuck is the one with Chris Black so go listen to our favorite white guy um and uh lot things to say that was crazy we had an actually great year I think this is one of the best years for the pod
00:10:39
Ty Fresh
yes He's got a lot of things to say.
00:10:47
Think Fresh
Of all time. And i think I say that every year. Because it's true. And that makes me really happy.
00:10:54
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I mean, it's only up for Think Fresh. Every year it's like 900% growth, and I don't think there's any any stop to this trajectory.
00:11:00
Think Fresh
you know.
00:11:03

00:11:14
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:11:14
Ty Fresh
And we'll keep we will give to you more banter. And I do have some interesting banter for you, Eric, today, because I want to talk to you a little bit about what happened to me at a hotel last weekend.
Tipping Etiquette Observations
00:11:29
Think Fresh
Talk to me. What happened, Ty? Did you ah get run over by the bellboy?
00:11:35
Ty Fresh
Bellhops are getting older. I've noticed that like the like average age of a bellhop in a movie at like a nice hotel is like early 20s. But whenever I go to a nice hotel, they're always like pushing late forty s
00:11:49
Think Fresh
m
00:11:50
Ty Fresh
What is up with that disconnect?
00:11:50
Think Fresh
Well, that's because you're watching movies from 20 years ago, Ty. They just grew they grew up.
00:11:55
Ty Fresh
There was just like one generation there. Like you're the bellhop perpetually.
00:11:58
Think Fresh
no I think so. Yeah, you kind of want like a young buck where like your tip will actually like make a difference in his life, you know?
00:12:02
Ty Fresh
Mm
00:12:06
Ty Fresh
hmm.
00:12:06
Think Fresh
Or it's like some 40-year-old's like, bro, just start a family already. you doing?
00:12:10
Ty Fresh
Yeah, like I don't want to tip you to pay down the debt you've accumulated through many bad decisions in your life. Like it's a drop in the bucket.
00:12:17
Think Fresh
Exactly, exactly.
00:12:19
Ty Fresh
Yeah, but at least I feel like I trust them to drive my car a bit more. Like I think like the valet service is like when they're a bit older, I'm OK with that.
00:12:25
Think Fresh
That is true.
00:12:29
Think Fresh
who More places need to have valet, I think. like I don't give someone my keys enough. you know I need to just kind of like toss the keys up in the air and have them catch them.
00:12:35
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:12:39
Think Fresh
you know and i don't even have to tell them like my name or anything. They just know where what what I'm doing and where I'm going. so When I come back out, they know.
00:12:46
Ty Fresh
You can do that anywhere, dude, but you just might never see your car a again.
00:12:47
Think Fresh
That
00:12:52
Think Fresh
that is true. I could just Next time we go to a nice restaurant together, going to like throw the key at the host. See what happens.
00:12:58
Ty Fresh
Yeah, just try it. Just try to give her the key or him and just see if they will take care of the car for you.
00:13:01
Think Fresh
h
00:13:04
Think Fresh
Yeah. Well, if it's a chick, I'm not doing that. I don't i don't trust her to park my car.
00:13:04
Ty Fresh
Just tell them it's idling outside.
00:13:08
Ty Fresh
Fair enough.
00:13:11
Think Fresh
But yeah, i could I could probably do that, I think, and get away with it at a nice enough place.
00:13:18
Ty Fresh
well uh going pulling this back to the idea of like old heads and old hops um i was staying at fairmont empress in victoria which is like a notable old head spot old money kind of vibe big old grand hotel and it was it was a nice spot a very ornamental and uh there was even like a gala going on so you had like all sorts of posh i have people walking around in their little little heels and stuff click click click um anyways i'm walking clickety clackety i'm walking walking the halls i don't know if i'm going to lobby bar or something i'm up on the seventh floor so heading to the alley to head downstairs that's elevator for short and as i'm walking
00:13:48
Think Fresh
Clickety clackety.
00:14:03
Think Fresh
I meant alley. was like, well, okay.
00:14:06
Ty Fresh
Hello.
00:14:06
Think Fresh
i'm Looking for action in the alley, dude.
00:14:08
Ty Fresh
ah As I'm walking down the hotel hallway, i cross paths with a grandmother and her granddaughter walking back to their rooms.
00:14:20
Ty Fresh
And then i overhear their conversation. It's such a brief passing. And the daughter says, grandma, why do you tip so much?
00:14:32
Ty Fresh
And then the grandmother says, and I shit you not, this is what she says. She says, well, I don't always tip so much. I'll tip when we're downstairs. But like, I would never tip if I go somewhere like Subway.
00:14:49
Think Fresh
God damn it. Wow.
00:14:52
Ty Fresh
Isn't that crazy?
00:14:54
Think Fresh
So, okay, hold on. Let's just back up a second. I thought this was going to go down a racial kind of path, but happy to hear that it's actually about a subway. um Of course it is.
00:15:05
Ty Fresh
Of course it is.
00:15:07
Think Fresh
That's kind of the premise of this whole show. It's like, we're about to say something stupid, but it's actually a subway. um Okay, great. So,
00:15:14
Ty Fresh
Dude, and like this is me in the whole elevator downstairs. I'm just smiling so big. and'm like I can't believe I just overheard that.
00:15:20
Think Fresh
Damn. Did you say anything? Did you like double click?
00:15:22
Ty Fresh
No. No, I didn't even turn back. i was i froze up, dude.
00:15:28
Think Fresh
Oh, man. I thought you were like say you're going to like help her like open the her door or something just to get a tipt fat tip from grandma.
00:15:35
Ty Fresh
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:35
Think Fresh
But
00:15:36
Ty Fresh
I'm like, oh, I'm the type of service worker that maybe she'd tip.
00:15:39
Think Fresh
yeah
00:15:40
Ty Fresh
Well, it just gets crazy that like even like, I don't know, there's no ceiling on like the type of money that people can spend at nice hotels. So like surely she can afford to tip a sandwich artist.
00:15:52
Ty Fresh
It's like the wealth gap between her and your average artist is probably exponentially high.
00:15:53
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:15:57
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Her name is probably Shirley, too.
00:15:57
Ty Fresh
so it's like she's just surely it is um so that means she's just like not tipping the artist based in like on principle alone which is i think so funny because like even when you and i are like not taping them part of it is like oh well i'd rather have that dollar you know like i could use it for something else we're but like me
00:16:20
Think Fresh
I could make 10 cents on this dollar in the in the stock market, you know?
00:16:24
Ty Fresh
Yeah, exactly. I'll put this into Palantir and then I'll make some money back.
00:16:30
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. Totally.
00:16:30
Ty Fresh
But she probably is just like a Palantir wife, you know, the wags of the Palantir C-suite.
00:16:38
Think Fresh
No, for sure. i mean i mean, you can tell, I kind of think you you can tell that she's making her own money, though, because, like, when when it comes down to tipping, women who have not made that money themselves, they're they're just throwing it around like it's nothing.
00:16:55
Think Fresh
They're tipping room service, they're tipping the bellhop, they're tipping subway.
00:16:55
Ty Fresh
Right.
00:16:59
Think Fresh
you know i mean it's there's no There's no discrimination there. But it sounds like in this case, this woman is self-made, which which I can respect.
00:17:08
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm. Yeah. And when you're self-made, it's like, OK, I get why you don't want to, like, give an extra buck to the the frontline worker at the way.
00:17:17
Think Fresh
Totally. um I really wish you had inquired with her as to the reason. um But I think we all deep down know why.
The Fairness of Tipping in Fast Food
00:17:27
Ty Fresh
I think we do too. I think we can jump to some conclusions this time.
00:17:31
Think Fresh
Yeah, she's like, daughter, I made the sandwich this time, okay?
00:17:36
Ty Fresh
What's really funny is she's like training a new generation not to tip sandwich artists.
00:17:41
Think Fresh
Well, that's how it should be, honestly. I'm teaching my kids, do not give money to a Subway employee. That's the worst thing you can do.
00:17:50
Ty Fresh
If anyone should give them money, it should be Subway.
00:17:53
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. They're making money in two kinds of ways. They're increasing the footlong price and they're taking my money just for fun too via tip. it doesn't It doesn't make any sense to me.
00:18:01
Ty Fresh
h
00:18:02
Think Fresh
Yeah.
00:18:02
Ty Fresh
no it doesn't and you know like it's kind of funny because like we talked about how like this foot long shrink flation proof because to make it smaller would be to break the idea of 12 inches but it also in a way makes it like growth flation proof like they can never make it bigger for us So like your money, it'll take they'll take your money, but they'll never give you more for it.
00:18:29
Ty Fresh
They can't give you less, but they'll never give you more either. Mm
00:18:32
Think Fresh
it's kind of like the arizona can that has like 99 cents written on it it's like you're like really confident that you're gonna be able to sell that for 99 cents going forward
00:18:35
Ty Fresh
hmm.
Subway's Footlong Branding Humor
00:18:42
Think Fresh
same with subway it's always gonna be stamped with that 12 inches on there you know
00:18:42
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:18:46
Ty Fresh
Yeah, it's like it doesn't matter what the Federal Reserve does to the like deteriorate the dollar. That thing's going to cost the same.
00:18:53
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:18:55
Ty Fresh
It'd be the same size. Well, it's not going to cost the same, but it will be the same size.
00:18:56
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:18:59
Think Fresh
Ty, unless feet get smaller, this is the only way this could possibly fuck up Subway's margins, is if like through globalization, we all become 10% East Indian, and therefore our feet just get smaller.
00:19:12
Ty Fresh
Hmm.
00:19:14
Think Fresh
you know And then once the global average foot size is like much smaller, they're going to say, well, you know what? we can't call this a foot anymore. 12 inches is no longer accurate representation of what a foot looks like.
00:19:27
Think Fresh
So we're going to have to go down to 11.5 or 10 inches or who knows nine inches.
00:19:35
Ty Fresh
Whoa, that's some those are some tiny dogs.
00:19:37
Think Fresh
Tiny dogs. And then we're all going to be like, you know what? They onto something.
00:19:43
Ty Fresh
Yeah. So then the subway is free to shrink the foot in the foot long. But or maybe we just figure it find something else that is 12 inches long as a reference point.
00:19:55
Ty Fresh
And I'm not really sure what that is. they like Maybe they call them a four.
00:19:58
Think Fresh
It couldn't be me Whoa, yeah, it could be it It really doesn't die no it really doesn't
00:19:59
Ty Fresh
It's a forearm long.
00:20:03
Ty Fresh
You want to get a four long four that doesn't really have the same ring to it, but that that's an option. o Or like, I don't know. I'm hunched over all day on my computer. So maybe it's a neck long.
00:20:17
Think Fresh
Didn't we see somewhere that subway was charging or no they were making no no. Well, what bo was it?
00:20:26
Ty Fresh
Yeah, I definitely am tracking what you're talking about.
00:20:28
Think Fresh
No, Subway was like, we're going to start charging you based on your dick length.
00:20:34
Ty Fresh
Oh, yeah. I thought that was a ah clever ruse.
00:20:35
Think Fresh
So if you're a if you're packing, if you're packing footlong to go and you walk in there all wrapped up nice nice and tight, you're going to say, whoa there, buddy, we're gonna have to charge you little extra, you know?
00:20:49
Ty Fresh
Yeah, it's it's price per length, and it's not the length of the sandwich.
00:20:54
Think Fresh
So maybe when you walk in, you're like, I'm going to go when it's cold out and you get a nice little 10% off.
00:21:01
Ty Fresh
They should do that all like already. like who Who doesn't need a warm sandwich on a cold day?
00:21:07
Think Fresh
h That's right. Especially like one of them hot meatball subs. You know what I'm saying? hot or on a cold warms you right, right up.
00:21:17
Ty Fresh
Dude, the taking that first meatball bite and just having the steam come off of that thing. Just like a nice warm steamer.
00:21:24
Think Fresh
Hell yeah. Mm-hmm. Nice little steamer in the morning.
00:21:28
Ty Fresh
Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:28
Think Fresh
um Ty, we should talk about this before it becomes old
Analyzing Sweetgreen's Protein Bowl
00:21:32
Think Fresh
news. It already kind of is, but ah there is a protein bowl. I think it's sweet green. I could be fucking this up, but it's a bowl that you can get that is 100 grams protein.
00:21:42
Think Fresh
Have you heard of this?
00:21:44
Ty Fresh
100 grams of protein.
00:21:46
Think Fresh
That's right, Ty. You can get a bowl with, I think, like double or triple chicken. but And there's like... um There's like a New York Times or some fucking publication wrote an article about it being like, um I tried the protein bowl at Sweetgreen and I instantly regretted it.
00:22:03
Ty Fresh
No kidding. Like that's probably like enough protein to actually hurt you.
00:22:05
Think Fresh
Yeah, it looked brutal.
00:22:09
Ty Fresh
Like you could be hospitalized.
00:22:12
Think Fresh
Yeah, you could actually probably have a protein shock is what they call it.
00:22:12
Ty Fresh
Yeah,
00:22:18
Think Fresh
Too many gains.
00:22:19
Ty Fresh
yeah like triple digi is a lot of grams. and
00:22:23
Think Fresh
Yeah, dude.
00:22:24
Ty Fresh
I don't think my body could handle that. There's far too much estrogen in my system. I would be shocked.
00:22:32
Think Fresh
You need to be plugged into the wall. but You need like external power source just to digest that
00:22:37
Ty Fresh
I can't do it off battery alone.
00:22:40
Think Fresh
that. Oh, shit.
00:22:43
Ty Fresh
So and like you could probably handle this because you're kind of a a a teen head, a teen lover.
00:22:49
Think Fresh
Kind of a big dog. Yeah. I was thinking about this and like they say you need like between one and 1.2 grams of protein per body weight pound a day.
00:23:00
Think Fresh
can you just can you even comprehend that sentence? That's that equation.
00:23:03
Ty Fresh
That's all. Yeah, yeah. ah So need cup per gram per pound. Yeah, I get it.
00:23:12
Think Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:23:13
Ty Fresh
Obviously, I can do math.
00:23:14
Think Fresh
OK, I don't know. I just thought it wasn't making sense, but for me, that would be 200 grams.
00:23:15
Ty Fresh
Not it.
00:23:19
Think Fresh
protein a day. So I don't know. That means I got to eat two of these, unfortunately. Yeah. I mean, every single day.
00:23:26
Ty Fresh
You math ain't math in here. ah So you can handle it then is what you're trying to say is that this is only half your daily intake.
00:23:35
Think Fresh
Brian Johnson says I can handle it. So I will try. um but I don't know if I would like ever waste a meal on that thing. Like if I were to go to a country with sweet green in it, it would have to be,
00:23:47
Think Fresh
um on vacation and that's just seems like it would ruin a whole day of my vacation which i don't think i'm willing to do
00:23:56
Ty Fresh
Yeah, because not not only are you wasting a meal, but you're also, you have to consider the come down from that protein and like you're going to be bedridden for a few hours.
00:24:07
Think Fresh
that's right um it also looks super bland you know like i don't know what it is with like protein bros on youtube and like meal prep uh freaks, but they like to like boil chicken and have it with like plain rice and broccoli.
00:24:20
Ty Fresh
Mm hmm.
00:24:25
Think Fresh
And that's somehow supposed to be like healthy. Um, but it's in my opinion, it's deteriorating your brain, eating that shit, you know?
00:24:34
Ty Fresh
Well, if you just forget what taste is like, then what's life? It's not worth living at that point.
00:24:40
Think Fresh
That's what I'm saying, bro. Have you ever had like just a plain functional meal like that in your life where you're like, this is for fuel only.
00:24:49
Ty Fresh
Never. And I would never want to like food is to be enjoyed.
00:24:53
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:24:54
Ty Fresh
i don't get three sauces because it's good for me.
00:24:55
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm. You can't afford that. ah Yeah. Yeah, exactly. as a vegetarian, you just simply can't afford to eat for fuel purposes only. There's not enough to to do that with, you know?
00:25:07
Think Fresh
but You got to, like, get creative with the veggies.
00:25:07
Ty Fresh
No.
Exploring Simplified Diet Benefits
00:25:10
Ty Fresh
no Although i do feel like the benefit of the, maybe this protein head diet is that it returns you to some core tenants, like by pursuing such like reductivism, then you can build back thoughtfully the sauces and the flavors and the richness of food so that you're like sensitive to it again.
00:25:35
Ty Fresh
i think like what happens with so many people is they like, they're just like so rich with an abundance of flavors and intensities on their palate that they kind of, they just crave more and more intensity.
00:25:35
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:25:46
Ty Fresh
And then that's how we move farther and farther from French food and deeper into fast food, you know, because it just needs to be like heavier hitting every time.
00:25:52
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:25:55
Think Fresh
Mm-hmm.
00:25:58
Think Fresh
Yeah, there's no French people moving to Southeast Asia. Why is that?
00:26:03
Ty Fresh
I mean, they already left Vietnam.
00:26:07
Think Fresh
Yeah, they moved out. Yeah.
00:26:08
Ty Fresh
Yeah, they came and they did their thing and they left.
00:26:12
Think Fresh
Yeah. But I actually know exactly what talking about. Like lately I've just been drawn to the flavors of the Orient Thai.
00:26:20
Ty Fresh
Hmm.
00:26:20
Think Fresh
Give me my Sriracha. Give me my, um I don't know what else they use.
00:26:25
Ty Fresh
Mostly sriracha, you know.
00:26:28
Think Fresh
Just like a lot of spicy, like ah intense flavors. I totally get what you're saying. Like I'm just like drawn to that now, you know, soy sauce.
00:26:36
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:26:37
Think Fresh
sesame um when they put the little star in there you know that's that's some good shit damn dude you zooted off the curry oh shit
00:26:42
Ty Fresh
Yeah, yeah. A little anise. I've been i'm been putting a little extra scoop of gara masala in my curries and I'm feeling pretty good about it. And I get that. Like, you're just like constantly trying to just like feel something, right?
00:26:59
Ty Fresh
And maybe to feel something for a little while, you got to feel nothing.
00:27:03
Think Fresh
mm-hmm Ty, I just got a transmission from our ah longtime friend of the pod who has been on the show three times, Patrick.
00:27:15
Ty Fresh
Yeah.
00:27:16
Think Fresh
He's waiting for us.
00:27:17
Ty Fresh
Oh, shoot. We better get going.
00:27:19
Think Fresh
um He's having a beer. So that means we can give him another two hours, but I say we ah get going pretty soon.
00:27:24
Ty Fresh
Perfect. All right. This is Think Fresh wrapped.
00:27:30
Think Fresh
Unwrap me, baby, one more time.
00:27:33
Ty Fresh
No, thank you.
00:27:36
Think Fresh
Okay, Bradheads, thanks for listening. We're about to go have some natural wine. We're about have some big naturals tonight.
00:27:42
Ty Fresh
Yeah, more on that probably next episode if this if anything good comes from this. It's probably only naughty things.
00:27:49
Think Fresh

00:27:52
Ty Fresh

00:27:53
Think Fresh
Ciao.
