That's a beautiful belch.Dude, you got to revisit the masterclass on voice acting, Ty.What happened with that?Did you stop?I did.
Well, I finished it.Oh.Masterclass.You graduated?I am an alumni. Voice acting is hard though, Eric.You have to practice it.And despite recording this podcast twice a week, I do not practice emphasizing my words.So maybe I'll do that for this episode.
Would you like that?I'm trying my best.That's so disgusting.I hate it so much.Sucks for you.Imagine being the listener.
They're paying us for this, that's crazy.Dude, that's crazy.Buy the merch, guys.Please, shop.thinkfreshpodcast.com.You gotta check out the V2 of the tote bag.V1 is what caused Ty's Aesop perfume to explode on the ground.
But if you buy the V2, it's a nicer fabric, and so things won't get stuck to it and move in unpredictable ways.You know what I mean?
We can almost guarantee that it will be wardrobe malfunction free.
That's right, dude.Almost.And if it does malfunction on you, you can send us an email, which will go straight to our trash and no refunds, zero refunds, final sale.Thank you for listening.Bye.
Uh, we have a banger of an episode today.Yeah, of course we do.We always do.And the first thing that I need. to discuss with you is the Tesla robots.
I know we talked about them a little bit a few weeks ago when they were going live or being announced by Papa Musk.But I had a I had a really inquisitive realization last night.And I need to pick your brain on this.There's many ways that could go.
Clearly.Okay.Okay.Okay. Okay.Hey Squidward, let's hear it.Okay.That was good.Thank you.Thank you.The Tesla robots are cord free.They just walk around, right?They're wireless, like a, like a phone or a Mac computer.
How the hell do you charge these things?I know where it's going, Ty.Dude, there's so many places you could plug it in.Which one do you think they're going to pick?Huh? Think about it.
Okay, it's so funny because there's a user experience aspect to this that could either be hilarious, perverse, or boring.And I hope they go the hilarious route.
The perverse route is obviously up the butt, like just sticking a cord up the robot's butt cheeks.Also funny.Okay, Ty, that's enough.
I think the only way for this to work and for it to hit mass appeal is to go away with the charging.And the human, this is kind of dystopian, but the human has to provide all of the energy for the robot.Okay?Wait, am I eating for two now?
No, you got to jerk it off.No, I don't want to try that.You got to create thermal energy to charge it.Right?Friction.Exactly.
No, do the robots have genitalia?I feel like there's a pro model That's gonna be like max baby.
Yeah a well-endowed model I'm the pro max Tesla damn in dark mode Yeah, it's like yes the robot is you can speak and it can and it can do everyday tasks But is it well hung?
I'm not leaving it alone with my wife, that's for sure.
It's coming with me on my errands.I'm taking the battery out of that thing if I leave the house.I'm not leaving it alone with her.
The Tesla robot is kind of crazy.Can people actually just buy one? Have it do the dishes or something?What is the actual use for it?
I think right now they're just selling a dream.I don't think there's any product that exists yet.
This is all in the R&D department.They're looking for pre-orders, is what you're saying.
They're going Cybertruck on us.Yeah, exactly.They're trying to GoFundMe themselves. I thought about this more and like, obviously they could stick the charger in the mouth.That'd be pretty funny.Or an ear or on the neck like Frankenstein.
But I think the best way to charge it. Cause it's the most human way to give life to something is through the belly button.
Listeners won't know this, but I just put my legs in the air like I was giving birth.
No, I think, I think you should be able to charge it by the belly button.Stop doing that.It's gross.
I think the belly button is really fun and a cool idea because that's how mama bear feeds the young.That makes so much sense. And I think that's probably the way they should do it, to be honest.But I'll give you one more, okay?How do we take breaks?
We sit down.Oh, we sit down.
We sit down.I'm thinking a wireless charging mat on a chair, and then the robot has to sit in the chair.It's kind of cool, right?That is cool.It's just sitting there.It's just resting for a second.
Just need to sit down for a second.
Yeah, exactly.That is great skeuomorphism.Totally.It's like, there's no reason for it to ever sit, right?It's a robot.But when it's sitting, you know it's charging.
That's so smart, Eric.Of course.And it's so human.You know, oh, the robot's just taking a seat.
It'll be up shortly when it's feeling ready.Yeah.And that's kind of a cool way to like see that it's done.It just stands up.It's ready for action.
I'm ready to serve.Wow.That's right.Because otherwise you would need like some sort of colored LED light, like a TikToker's bedroom kind of glowing around it to know what state it's in, if it's low battery.
A Twitch streamer.Yeah, exactly.I got it, yeah. I think, yeah, sitting down on a wireless charging mat.Fuck it.Throw your Apple watch on there too.
Charges everything.Dude, you can throw your Apple watch on the robots wrist to charge it.Like now can you wear this for a bit and just juice it for me?
What do you think would happen if you put the vision pro on the robot?Whoa.Would it just live in its own world and like not know what's happening and I don't know, start developing world war three and a fake universe.
This is a very weird situation because you're giving the robot the same power and autonomy that the human gets in our world.You might teach it things about itself that it's not supposed to know.
100% it's like if you had, it's kind of like when the sandwich artist gets to make lunch for themselves, they have all the tools, they have all the tools they have, but they just didn't know that they could have. They had free will.
You're basically giving the robot free will, Eric.
Whoa, yeah.They broke the fourth wall.Yeah.Dude, there has to be a perk working at Subway where you make your own sandwich for free.
I'm assuming that's a perk.We've assumed it for a long time.We've never asked a sandwich artist.
It's probably a per franchise thing.And I think next time we go there, we have to ask.
We'll inquire, like, what are your perks?Do you get health care or a free sandwich?
Yeah.Hey, let's, between you and me, I'm looking at applying. What's the deal here?Should I or not?
I don't care about dental or overtime pay.Just tell me what lunch looks like.
Yeah.I know a chiropractor is not going to crack my back for free.Yeah.Okay.I need some, I need like a nutritionist.That's it.
Do you think that's a way they give you a nutritionist as a part of the, their compensation package?
Like free subscription to Weight Watchers?
Yeah. and maybe a few mental health apps to deal with the trauma.
Yeah.Do they get the corporate 10% off Headspace at Subway?
Use code, Breadhead.Yeah, use code, Breadhead. I'm assuming there's a nutritionalist on staff servicing the employees of Subway at some elevation of the company.I just don't think it's the artists that are getting that.They're the pawns of Subway.
They're the ground floor, meat to be chewed up, BMT meat. It's like the big fat corporate heads that are getting the nutritionist and they're like HQ.Yeah at HQ.So you got all these suits being told, don't eat at Subway if you want to get healthier.
Like the CEO going to his quarterly nutritionist appointment.It's like, all right, what do you got for me today, doc?It's like, You gotta stop going to Subway like tomorrow, like immediately.
You will die in six months, Ty, if you keep eating at Subway.
Yeah, for sure.And they're like, we paid $15 million to SoulCycle's dietary consultancy program to learn this.Yeah, no shit.
Wow. I do think though, speaking of SoulCycle, Ty, that I am getting in better shape from cycling.I've been eating salads with you.I've been riding my bike.I feel like I'm losing weight, Ty.I feel better than ever.Dude, I'm so glad to hear it.
The problem with cycling is you only lose weight from the waist down.I don't think so.You're burning like 3,000 calories if you're going on a long ride.Yeah, how long is a long ride?I did like 75K last week.That's a long ride.In one go.
Wow, and that's only 3,000 calories?I don't actually know how many.I could probably look it up, but I'm not going to.That's like one serving of sweet onion sauce.That's a day's worth of food, isn't it?
That's basically what I'm saying.Okay.
The sauce is doing the most, that's my boy.
Dude, the sauce is gonna put fat on your tummy.Wow, that's pretty good, Eric.Good for you.Salads are where it's at.You said in the last episode, Right before it started, you said, Ty, you have a child's diet.Do you remember that?
You said you have the diet of a child.
I said that before we hit record.I know you're bringing it up.You're bringing up your recent trauma on the episode.It's been sitting with me this whole time.
I don't have the diet of a child, Eric.
I didn't say you have the diet of a child.I said you love kids food and that's not wrong.Like, You were so enamored with this Franken cookie that you just ate.Like you were like analyzing it.And yeah, I get it where your food fluency is tied.
You need to know your shit.
It's novel.And you got to know what you're eating so you could talk about it.
It's a work meal, dude.It wasn't the pleasure.
Yeah.I, my, my wife gave it to you.Um, that's one less cookie for me is all I gotta say.No, but you love kids food and I think it's pretty obvious.
I completely disagree.I hate kids' food.I love salads and beer, two things children hate.You think if the kid goes to Subway, they're getting the veggie patty?No, dude, they're getting three types of deli meats and mayo and mustard.
Guess whose favorite sandwich that is?Yours, Eric, your favorite sandwich.
You know why, Ty?Because it's arguably the best sandwich.
You think children just know what good food is?They're like, I love Chef Boyardee and eating gummy bears for dinner. and the BMT with mayo.
Chef BMT.The BMT is the Boyardee of sandwiches, that's for sure.But I don't know.You're kind of changing the goalposts here, though, Ty.If you had a kid who was also a vegetarian, yes, he would have to order the Veggie Delight at Subway.
What are you talking about?I think they would just get a breaded mayo sandwich.
I don't think the Veggie Delight appeals to anybody.
Yeah, bread, mayo, cookies inside.
Yes.Yes.Why did I agree to that?You caught me.Gotcha.
You got me.You got him.Dude, I can see you like, damn, I want to try that.
Yeah.A little sweet, a little salty.That's right.What did we get last time when we were there?I think we had the churro and the pretzel.I think you ordered the pretzel though and I ordered the churro. I'll never get either again.
I don't even know if they offered it anymore.
I hope they discontinued it and through the, I hope they rounded up and burnt all the churros and never, not even a dumpster diver has to eat that.
Here's the problem, Ty.I feel like they don't have any like posts or like pre-launch user testing or analysis going on straight to market.It's fucking, it's from deck to market.Wow.
They just, they just send the deck, the PDF goes straight to their factory and they just print a 3d churro.I think so.
Like, I feel like if whatever the creative director of the menu, like try the churro before going live, he'd be like, this is not good.We can't launch this.
I don't think anyone tried it before it hit source.There's no possible way.Definitely not.
Yeah, you're right.I mean, we only had it once.So it's possible that the place we had it just disagreed with the concept.So they made it shitty on purpose.
They didn't get on board.They were on vacation that day.Yeah, they were doing their own jury.They went rogue doing their community service.Yeah.
Yeah, they were dealing with the fentanyl users outside.Yeah, exactly.I swear if they tried the pretzel, they tried the churro, they wouldn't have gone live with that.
That assumes that there is a threshold of quality that Subway is trying to hit with their food.
I don't know if I would call it a threshold of quality.I would call it more like, I like it.Is it good?Is it even consumable?Like the churro is verging on unchewable.
Yeah.It's like eating a dinner or a dish sponge.
Yeah, it was.I can still remember the texture.It had almost like a pop to it.It would bounce back after you chew it down.It wouldn't break apart.It was almost like our mewing gum.Yeah, dude, it's a Greek churro.Yeah, dude.
Anyone who eats those every day is gonna have just be chiseled.Chiseled in the jaw, round in the tummy.
That's awesome.Yeah, but the footlong cookie's another story, Ty. That, as twisted as that is, I think that is very good.
It is weirdly good.It's so sweet, but so, like, satisfied.
I think it's perfect for, like, the U11 women's soccer team that comes in the subway once a year.That's for them.You know what I mean?
They split it.Split it amongst the whole team.It feeds a whole team.
No one man should tackle that alone.
I agree.Um, okay.We have to try the ghost pepper bread.We're gonna have to do this when you're back from Italy.
Yeah.Well, having said that bread heads, I need to go hop on a flight to Italy.So this is a shorty today.Yeah.A little bit of a short shorty.
Yeah, dude.Ty has to, email like three to four more Lorenzo's and Giovanni's.
Yeah, I got a couple of Giacomo's.Giacomo's and Marcos.Oh, it's so confusing.I'm in correspondence with a guy named Ut.Ut.Yeah.He's going to help me with some accommodation.
I feel like you need to get the Amex Platinum and have like a travel concierge just book everything for you.Cause I think they can do that.
Yeah.Why am I wasting my time planning?That's a just hired one class below me.
Somebody, somebody who doesn't have 377 episodes of a podcast should be doing that for you.
Yeah.I clearly don't have time to do that.I need to be here.
They would book your car, your, hotel and flights, they would connect all the dots for you.All you got to worry about is, is this villa bellissimo enough for me?Focus on the vibe, focus on the culture.
That's what I'm being paid for.
You're kind of there for a business trip.If you think about it, you're there to make some decisions.
Yeah, I'm also there to procure some new content for this podcast.Refresh.It's the eat fresh refresh.
Damn, thank God you don't have the corporate card in your wallet because we would be fucked.
Do you mind if I borrow yours?No.Dude, I need, you know, every like once in a while you just need to like. reset your baseline of what good pasta is supposed to taste like.And then after that, you drift apart.
And then before you know it, you're like eating Annie's for lunch.And you're like, how did I get here?
Yeah.When it's been more than a year since your last Roman pasta dish, you're doing things like creamed cashews and shit like that.Dude.Nonsense.I loved creaming my cashews.Dude, just put some Parmigiano in there like a man, okay?Whatever.
Don't knock until you try it. I'll spread some extra cashews for you one day.Okay, perfect, yeah.Let's go.
If you can, I don't know how you'll prepare it for me, but I'll just let you do whatever.Yeah, the omakase at Ty's house.And for your appetizer, here's one cashew.Plop.Foreshadowing.Okay, you really gotta go, don't you?I do, I do.
Okay, Breadheads, thanks for listening.Thanks for accommodating us. in your life.
