Ice Bear (00:35)
Yeah. we missed you.
Grizz (00:37)
That was euphoric.
It was absolutely magical.
positively wondrous.
Ice Bear (00:58)
my.
Grizz (01:00)
my my ⁓ hell yeah love the chicken greasy
Ice Bear (01:04)
I'll just I'll put
it on my forehead and be one of the be one of them.
All right.
that's a that's a frothy little brew. It's a big old hit on that bad boy.
Grizz (01:24)
Also my parents used to tell me I had a big ass head.
Ice Bear (01:29)
Well, I mean, you get a large cranium.
They're just preparing you for life, telling you the truth. They're being honest.
Grizz (01:36)
That's true.
It was much nicer than what the kids used to say.
Ice Bear (01:42)
What did the kids used to say?
Grizz (01:46)
Rooty 2D Fresh and Fruity.
Ice Bear (01:47)
⁓
No, not the Rudy Tootie fresh and fruity
Grizz (01:53)
or Rudy Tudy Fruity had a big fat booty.
Ice Bear (01:59)
⁓ man, I didn't get any of those. They just called me the ⁓ maggot but with an F.
Ayo maggots. all right. What you got first? What you got first up there?
Grizz (02:21)
You see, Olga has been very traveling, traveling lately. A Texas fella outside of Big Tex, you know. Sometimes I don't really feel like myself. I had a wonder if I was actually myself when I was traveling around. Sometimes I felt like I was just part of like a lookalike contest. This right here.
is from the magical beautiful I don't know if these are supposed to be like spots or whatever but they kind of look like beans where I guess it's kind of appropriate
Ice Bear (03:02)
Let me me add that one more time
Yeah, I think they're supposed to be kidney beans, right?
Grizz (03:12)
They look like beans to me. So, but it's, you see this, you look at this too long. It's like staring into a mirror.
Ice Bear (03:17)
is it a mirror?
⁓ well done. That's a good gimmick.
Grizz (03:22)
This right here,
this right here is from the beautiful Celestial Beer Works. A favorite of all grizz. This is a double hazy IPA with Strada and Citra hops. This is an 8.5. I'm very excited about this. I wanted to do big old Texas beers because it's been a long time since I've been in Texas. So.
Ice Bear (03:40)
Okay.
It has.
You've been away from your homeland for many a moon.
Grizz (03:52)
too many moon.
Ice Bear (03:54)
Okay, you're gonna what you're gonna you're gonna go through a roller coaster while I present this because you're gonna be like, what are you doing? And then you're going to see my second one and you're gonna forgive it. And I think overall, overall, I've created a good week. And first of all, the reason I got this is I love the art. So this is from Gateway City Brewery, North Bay, Ontario. This is cerveza, Berenice.
Grizz (04:24)
All right, I dig that, I like that.
Ice Bear (04:27)
This is a prickly pear Mexican style lager. ⁓ It is, I'll be frank, it's a weak little boy. It's what you would not even qualify as a beer. Our rule of thumb is of course sub six is not a beer. And this is a 4.4. So it's basically flavored water, but I really liked the art and I really wanted to try some prickly pears.
Grizz (04:51)
That's Prickly pears are pretty good. ⁓ That's what we like to call in the business world, in the business, we to call that a promise.
Ice Bear (04:56)
And I'll make up for it in half an hour.
We like to call that foreshadow bear for make it foreshadowing, but add a bear pun. Just do that. Just do that in your heads.
Grizz (05:18)
That's
all you need to know.
Ice Bear (05:25)
So, as you've said, you're away from old texts for a while. What ⁓ is the first Texan cuisine that you wanted to sample when you got back?
Grizz (05:37)
That's good. Naturally, fastest, great, bare food you can get from good old Texas is water burger. I've been wanting it for the last two days and haven't got it.
Ice Bear (05:52)
Mm-mm-mm-mm. Tomorrow for lunch.
Grizz (05:53)
But
I just actually get a good blend. But I've been eating these seasoned tostadas from a Mexican restaurant and they've been pretty great.
Ice Bear (06:04)
⁓ that sounds good too.
very nice. ⁓ The other day I had chicken and waffles and I would say I was floored because I didn't expect anything to be able to beat the Deep South on chicken and waffles that might have been the best chicken and waffles I've ever had.
Grizz (06:29)
That's, that's high praise.
Ice Bear (06:31)
So it was like, ⁓ the chicken had like a garlic aioli thing going on and the drizzle, and then it was a hot honey. And then the waffle was infused with cheddar.
Grizz (06:41)
Okay.
Hmm
Ice Bear (06:47)
So it was very like unlike nor- because I'm used to like the sweet and the savory with chicken waffles. This was savory and spicy with like a the tiniest bit of sweet, but the honey was it was hot honey. It was more- so do I. But that was that was very tasty.
Grizz (06:51)
Yes, yes, yeah.
I love her, I love her honey.
That sounds fucking phenomenal.
Ice Bear (07:09)
And also like breakfast is the one food that if I go out and I'm having breakfast, I'm normally starving. Like there will not be, I mean, there's never any food left on my plate, but there's really nothing left on a breakfast platter. I go to town on them.
Grizz (07:21)
Yep,
yep. You know, it's basic, but I do love me a good ass fucking breakfast or brunch. Breakfast foods fucking amazing.
Ice Bear (07:32)
It's there's never a bad time. Eggs are great. Bacon's great.
Grizz (07:35)
and eat.
of me I'll always get two things
They're like arguably not breakfast food to some people, but they're wrong. Number one, 10 out of 10 I'll always get chicken fried steak breakfast. It's a chicken fried steak with gravy, eggs, hash browns, some toast. Can't beat it. Or.
Ice Bear (07:57)
Mm. Yeah, no, that's very good.
Grizz (08:09)
or I'll get fricking sausage and biscuits.
Ice Bear (08:17)
Yeah. Yeah.
Grizz (08:19)
can't beat it.
Ice Bear (08:22)
That would be very good. ⁓ OK, if I had.
You know, if it was like, can only pick one breakfast for the rest of your life. I think what I'm doing is I'm doing a nice bed of white rice sprinkled with some furikake. And then I am going to load that up with three, three to no, that's not bad, but no three to four fried eggs. And then I want probably.
Grizz (08:49)
NATO.
Ice Bear (09:01)
two pounds of lunganisa. Because I don't think there's anything better than like a sweet spicy lunganisa. And then you just dip those little fuckers in the fried egg and get the yolk all over them like the bad little lunganisa's they are. And you just go to town on them.
Grizz (09:04)
You
Hahaha!
and everything.
Ice Bear (09:24)
Ha ha!
Well, well, But yeah, that's the go-to breakfast.
Grizz (09:32)
There you go.
some good shit. ⁓ so.
Ice Bear (09:40)
I'm distracted
by how much I like the beer.
Grizz (09:44)
Really? I was about to ask her now.
Ice Bear (09:46)
No, it's very good, but also I think it's I think any beer probably would have had a very high rating because we this this has been delayed. We. We've we've been slightly beyond our normal intervals for for to be to be time.
Grizz (09:55)
Yeah, it sadly has been delayed.
Yeah, I was struggling.
Ice Bear (10:07)
Yeah. So it was, it was a comedy of errors. had, uh, we had the storms. So, and then we had, we had, uh, you're just busy and then you're sick. And then, uh, we were busy. was just, it just kept falling through, but here we are. We're making it work. We're, we're getting it for you. The adoring 14 listeners.
Grizz (10:09)
Yeah.
Look at that
14.
Ice Bear (10:33)
We're climbing. We're climbing up the ladder. My favorite part is the people that should listen don't listen at all. I don't blame them. They get enough of it already.
Grizz (10:35)
Yes, better than three.
I wouldn't blame you, they didn't want to listen to us.
They get too much of it.
Ice Bear (10:56)
⁓ But honestly, even if I wasn't very thirsty, this is quite good.
Grizz (11:04)
That's awesome. Mine is it was delicious. It was a little too like, I let it sit. I let it sit out a little too long. So it's a little, so it a little warm. So I'm, kind of hoping that that's affecting my thing, but like,
Ice Bear (11:13)
⁓
Grizz (11:20)
I'm not gonna lie for a celestial beer works thing. It's kind of underwhelming. Like it's.
Ice Bear (11:25)
no, I don't think I've ever heard you give a
less than high praise reaction to Celestial.
Grizz (11:31)
Yeah.
And so it's, it's not a bad beard. It's good. But like it, it's just, you know, I'm seeing double hazy. I'm seeing Citra. You know, I'm seeing Celeste and I'm like, that's just gonna fucking knock it out of the park. Like, and it's, it's like, you know, it's good. Yeah.
Ice Bear (11:45)
That's really a testament to them though. Like
how well they do when something that's pretty good is like disappointing because you're like, the bar is set so high.
Grizz (11:57)
Yeah, it's, yeah, that's the thing. Cause like, it's definitely not a bad beer because some of the other ones have had like, don't compare to this one, but this one's just, I'm just a little underwhelmed because I'm, I was expecting like to get my socks knocked off.
Ice Bear (12:13)
Dude, this reminds me, I don't know why this took my brain here, but do you know the old Bushy, not HW, but W, his quote about the soft bigotry of low expectations?
Grizz (12:28)
⁓ no no so no just the line of that the something yeah it's a fantastic line it's true
Ice Bear (12:30)
That's a great line.
Yeah, yes.
Because I remember,
like, we were probably, I was in middle school, I think, when he said it. And I was just like, what the fuck is he talking about? And like, the older I get, I'm like, that is a very real thing. Like, that's fucked up to be like, no, I don't expect very much out of you, man. Sorry. Like, that's rough. So this is kind of, this is kind of the reverse of that. Like, Celestial's so good all the time that if it doesn't hit a home run, you're like, what the fuck are you doing? You can do better.
Grizz (12:51)
Yeah. Yeah, no.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, Celestial basically is like, you know, that there's always the siblings and there's like the one fuck up and then there's the one that usually does good. There's a fuck up that the parents are like, don't really get after cause like he's trying his best. And there's one that always does good, but he just fucks up kind of just a little bit on a little thing and he gets his ass chewed out and like it's fucking end of the world stuff. And then it's like, it's because I expected more from you. That's Celestial.
Ice Bear (13:10)
Mm-hmm.
Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. ⁓
Dude,
I remember in high school, I was so fucking mad. My neighbor, got a report card day and he got like mainly Bs and like two Cs. His parents bought him a video game. I was like, I would be fucking grounded. Are you kidding me? I was so mad. But then in hindsight, I'm like, that is very nice of my parents to be like, no, you fucking do better. You can do better, do better.
Grizz (13:55)
Yeah.
Ice Bear (13:57)
But I was fucking heated at the time. was like, this is bullshit.
Grizz (14:01)
Yeah,
no, yeah, because that's always been a thing with like, you know, just siblings and shit to me, my brother always like, I had each other's fucking thirds. Because, you know, because we'd go one of somebody would be like,
causing mischief and it'd be like, all right, you're fine. And then somebody else would like stay out a little too late on a weekday and it'd be like, what the fuck's wrong? You know what mean? They like lose their shit and it'd be like, huh?
Ice Bear (14:19)
Mm-hmm.
⁓
Have you seen any of these tiki-takis about the, I want to say the dudes in Brooklyn or the Bronx, some, some borough in New York. And basically if kids come to him with like a report card, he's just like, like go, go around the convenience store and pick out whatever you want. He normally hands them like 50 bucks or 20 bucks.
Grizz (14:50)
Dang, that's awesome. ⁓
Ice Bear (14:51)
I know I was like, where's
that bodega guy? Why didn't I get that guy growing up? That'd be awesome.
Grizz (14:57)
Yeah, every fucking... ⁓ man.
Yeah, never had that. mean, granted, like, you know.
trying to think, have I had something like that with just like family and stuff? Never for report cards, I guess. Maybe like the odd one here and out, basically, like I remember one time my dad's like, for every A, I'll give you $5. And I was like, fuck yeah, it happened. And I got like straight A's, right? And then like I got, I got the money the one time and then it never happened again. And then I was like,
Ice Bear (15:25)
Mmm.
Grizz (15:35)
So did it again like you know to be like fucking money. It's like I didn't say I was gonna give you all the time I said for that I I said for that time I was like fucking deception. I hear I'm thinking I Can cash in these days? Nope. Nope. So after that I audition
Ice Bear (15:36)
Ha ha ha.
Where's where's my where's my
You
Ugh, brutal.
So do they still have these days? ⁓
Grizz (16:00)
The Pizza Hut coupons.
Ice Bear (16:03)
No. Okay, hold on. Let me ask my question because I'm going to forget and then please explain the pizza thing. Did they have currently when I was in school if you got honor roll they gave you your parents like a bumper sticker. It's like my child. Yeah. Do they still have those is that a thing or is that now like showboating.
Grizz (16:17)
⁓ it on or all that?
I don't know as far as because I haven't seen them in a long time, but I remember when I was in high school, I was in school, like elementary middle school. I remember them being a thing. Uh, but I do remember kind of getting kind of weird because even like with the cub stuff, it was like getting weird. Like, uh, cause she was in like XL classes. Right. And it was like, uh, you know,
Ice Bear (16:52)
What's an XL class?
Is that like AP? Okay.
Grizz (16:55)
Yeah, basically right but before
before like the youngins right but it was like She was in one of those and then it was they were starting to like add Kids that didn't have good grades into him because they were also minorities it was like and I was like, uh, I don't You know and then so it's like my daughter she was
Ice Bear (17:12)
Uhhhh
Grizz (17:22)
Like, I know, like I've, I'm being all smart and shit. And then like, this guy's a fucking. IJIT. You know? Like why the, why the, like, why is he here now? You know? And so, yes. And that was around that time. So.
Ice Bear (17:35)
Mmm.
So in our school, they did them quarterly. So I remember by the end of middle school, there was this one girl that had ⁓ basically the whole back of her parents' car was plastered. know, 16 of these things. My students and honorals, student, Mill Creek, blah, blah, like sticker, sticker, sticker for every quarter for all of middle school. So my parents, like, they would just cover my old one up. So it was like fall, just plaster the winter one over it. So it wasn't like their whole thing.
But I remember distinctly that one day we were leaving work, work, we were leaving school. And the kid with the 12 stickers was like right in front of us. And then my mom let someone else come in and that person that pulled in front of us had a, my kid kicked your honor roll students ass sticker. And I was like, that's a way better sticker. Like that's fantastic. Good for that parent.
Grizz (18:29)
No.
He's like my kid ain't doing that shit. I ain't even trying to get him to do this shit.
Ice Bear (18:45)
I like to think that that was like Ronda Rousey's mom. That would be great.
Grizz (18:48)
Ha
Ice Bear (18:50)
Screw your honor roll. That's not getting you anywhere. Fighting, that's where it's at.
Grizz (18:56)
That would be great.
It looks like we're both we're both nice and finished. Look at that. Or we're just thirsty.
Ice Bear (19:02)
We're being efficient. We're being efficient.
I mean, I really was thirsty.
Grizz (19:09)
I actually finished this a couple of minutes ago.
Ice Bear (19:10)
I'm
saying, ⁓ God, man, I don't, I'm going to, I'm going to nerf it a little bit because I think I really was just hankering a beer, something mighty. I'm going to give it a, an A minus.
Grizz (19:26)
Damn, ⁓ that's you hankering it?
Ice Bear (19:28)
In
my head, I was thinking A +, but I was like, that's crazy talk. I really enjoyed it. Good job. Good job, Cerveza-Baronesa.
Grizz (19:33)
Damn.
Who was that brewer?
Ice Bear (19:41)
This was Gateway City Brewing in North Bay, Ontario.
I'm gonna... Yeah. ⁓ they're out. Good, bad job, Leafs. ⁓ also, you destroyed my mother-in-law, by the way. Your stars broke her. She's a big Winnipeg fan. Huge Jets fan. And the stars just sent them back to Maple Land, crying in their soup.
Grizz (19:48)
Good job, Leafs.
That job of a cannot now leaves.
You
You
I'm gonna be all in star stuff.
Ice Bear (20:16)
Do it.
Grizz (20:20)
⁓ all right, look at this. You bust that out. I'm going to be dual wielding right now.
Ice Bear (20:29)
⁓
Grizz (20:30)
Got some, got some, be dual wielding some bare math.
Ice Bear (20:35)
I love it when you do bare math. It's always a thing of beauty. All right, I hope you're ready.
Grizz (20:40)
This one's
glorious one to do bare math with.
That was a terrible opening.
Yeah.
Ice Bear (21:03)
That was not a terrible opening, that was loud as fuck in my headset.
Grizz (21:08)
That's because I had a you know when you crack open a can and the back opens by the front so you have to shove the thing yeah
Ice Bear (21:14)
⁓ yeah.
Grizz (21:18)
ooh.
Ice Bear (21:19)
All right.
So as you're pouring years, I'm going to preface mine with I'm scared because one of this type of beer has been my all time favorite, the original S tier. You remember the, the one with like the Santa Claus guy on it? So this was for, for our listeners, this was pre-recording. I remember, I think it was
Grizz (21:34)
Yep.
That was
actually one of, and that was pre-recording and one of like the OG 2B2Bs like we had just started like making it a weekly thing where like, know what, like let's do it. Like, like we haven't like, we haven't talked in a long time. Like we haven't been keeping in touch with each other. Let's do it.
Ice Bear (21:51)
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Alright.
Let me get mushy here for a second. I'm so happy that happened. Because let me tell you, this whole thing, because we've been doing this for several years now, and it's regularly a highlight of the week. Like, I look forward to it immensely. And even if it wasn't doing it for other people's amusement, I would still look forward to this just as much. Because I love shooting the shit and having beer with my buddy.
Grizz (22:05)
All right, let's do it.
Yeah.
1 billion percent.
It's beautiful thing.
Ice Bear (22:31)
I love you, don't be gay.
All right. So anyway, this this type of beer or rather its country of origin has given me ⁓ my favorite all time beer and also some that I've had to pour out. So this country has no in between. This is.
Grizz (22:52)
So like
Kanye.
Ice Bear (22:54)
Yeah, a little bit like yay. A little bit like yay. So this is from Untenederlands, And this is Zunder, Zunderten. And let me tell you, Zunderten is a quadruple trapeze.
Grizz (22:57)
You
Yah!
shi-
It's a quadruple rapist, god damn. Okay.
Tee rapist.
Ha ha!
Okay. So here's my board. That is it's, it's pretty beautiful. So we have a bit of embarrassing cause you were like this. I'm kind of scared. As soon as I opened this, I was like, I smelled it. I was like, sure. I'm kind of scared. So we all know that there are two Texas breweries that all grids stands hard.
Ice Bear (23:42)
That's a nice color.
Grizz (24:08)
And so it's only fitting that when I saw a new beer from both, had to get them back when I came back from old to old Texas. had celestial beer works. now I have the man to brood and canned by all Martin house from Fort Worth.
This one here, they do their box series where they have the two cans in the box and the great art. See, Martin House sent me on my own journey in self-discovery and made me like sours. So when I saw this one, when I saw this glorious can, to give you an idea, this right here. You see that right there?
You see that beautiful art? It kind of looks like something, right? What does that look like?
Ice Bear (25:05)
I do indeed.
that looks like the nightmare before Christmas. And an apple.
Grizz (25:14)
end in it.
And this right here.
Ice Bear (25:18)
fuck, what is happening here?
Grizz (25:20)
You see that? You see that? ⁓
Ice Bear (25:22)
that
that is what I aspire to look like when I'm older.
Grizz (25:27)
This is the ghost of Johnny Appleseed. This is a ghost of Johnny Appleseed. It is a whiskey barrel aged green apple sour. It's part of the barrel aged series, which I've had on this year podcast before. This is a hundred percent unblended. The IBU is 7.7, which is pretty low for the, for the ABV. This is, this says.
Ice Bear (25:30)
⁓ I love it. That's so cool.
Grizz (25:55)
It seems Johnny has become one with the orchard, which is a very fitting representation of the true depth and full flavor of this brew. Aged for eight and a half months in whiskey barrels. This is brewed in August 29th, 2024. This ABV is 12.6%.
Ice Bear (26:21)
So we both got double digis for this round.
Grizz (26:25)
This here is the ghost of Johnny Appleseed.
Ice Bear (26:29)
I feel like I would love that. I feel like there's almost no way I wouldn't love it.
Grizz (26:38)
It smells great, but it smells fucking strong as shit.
Ice Bear (26:41)
Does it smell like apple? Like is there an apple smell to it?
Grizz (26:48)
wow. This is Wow.
Ice Bear (26:52)
Wait, did you pour it twice or did you just switch hands? Okay, I was like, do you have two fucking?
Grizz (27:01)
Who? ⁓
Wow. ⁓
So fucking fantastic. But the smell, you get apple forward, then a hint of whiskey. And then like this woodsy kind of thing at the end, on the smells. then.
Ice Bear (27:21)
Interesting.
Grizz (27:38)
It's not super easy to drink in the sense where it doesn't taste like it has alcohol. But it's not super sour and it's not super bitter. So like.
It tastes kind of like a candy apple. Kind of apple-ish.
Ice Bear (27:55)
Interesting.
Does it taste like the Apple Warheads? Like that kind of fake apple flavor?
Or does it taste like a real apple?
Grizz (28:10)
No, it doesn't taste like artificial apple.
Ice Bear (28:12)
So you're talking to real Apple.
Grizz (28:14)
Yeah, I'm getting real apple.
Ice Bear (28:16)
like a real Washingtonian apple.
Grizz (28:21)
It does feel like a real Washingtonian apple.
Ice Bear (28:26)
almost like you're being called back to the pack Northwest.
Grizz (28:31)
which is true. So it looks like from the rumblings on the street is that all Grizz is going to be back in the PNW in about a month.
Ice Bear (28:33)
Hahaha
Now here's the question. If this does wind up a new hibernation layer for you, do I have to go down to Texas first?
⁓ Like a farewell to Texas, Yeet Haw.
Grizz (29:05)
actually
Ice Bear (29:08)
Because it could be a weekend. It doesn't have to be long.
Grizz (29:13)
You know? So that's what we're gonna do. So here's the thing. So there's a good chance that Ol' Grizz is gonna have to be stationed in Washington for an extended period of time.
You can, do a week. You can come to Texas and then we road trip to Washington.
Ice Bear (29:36)
Okay, okay,
I shit you not. I was about to ask you, do you need help moving? Because how fun would that be to be a Bears drink across America tour?
Grizz (29:45)
You know that'd be fucking awesome, cause like, so here.
Ice Bear (29:47)
Cause I've,
I've done Washington to Missouri on my own in two days. So if we had help, if we were splitting it, we could do it. We could do it pretty fast.
Grizz (29:58)
We do it pretty
easy. With the old Bear tracks, we won't be bad at all.
Ice Bear (30:05)
And I already know how to drive one of those Vartraxes.
Grizz (30:08)
Yeah, you know, it's not a bad it's not it's not a bad idea. Just saying.
Ice Bear (30:14)
I would gladly help if you need it.
Grizz (30:18)
So here's the thing, I do end up going the moving stuff's covered by the company.
Ice Bear (30:26)
Hmm.
Grizz (30:28)
but it doesn't mean that I can't, I can choose to drive my own car out there. Exactly.
Ice Bear (30:30)
doesn't mean you can't just do it. Shit,
that would be really fun. That'd be super fun.
Grizz (30:37)
I'm just saying we can plan destinations each one. Have a 2B2B at each one.
Ice Bear (30:49)
To be to be like, ⁓ man, there's so many spots on the way that would be great like on location. ⁓ that'd be fun. All right, we'll save this for later, but that's something that be a fun thing to do.
Grizz (31:08)
awesome
saying. I guess. Because that would be in a couple of months. Right. But ⁓ for sure. The some point in June. I'll be going back to PNW for a week to two weeks. ⁓ That being the case. Just saying, you know, tickets aren't that expensive.
Ice Bear (31:14)
Just saying.
the old P'n-dub? The old Pac-North-west-ical?
Grizz (31:46)
You know,
times are expensive, you know? I split an airfare ticket, shoot in the booth in a hotel.
Ice Bear (31:57)
Well, while you're at work, I could go say hello to my godparents who are probably very mad at me for not seeing them in 10 years.
Grizz (32:06)
say.
Ice Bear (32:09)
It's a thought. It's a thought. This is a... I feel like this is the first episode we might have to edit out. Just egregious us chatting about nothing anyone else is interested in for five minutes. I was just thinking about it. like, wait a second. We've been just talking. We're not even trying right now.
Grizz (32:10)
I'm just saying, I'll be there for a couple weekends.
Ice Bear (32:35)
Or fuck it, just leave it in. Just leave it in.
Grizz (32:36)
We're just leaving it in.
You know, all 13 of y'all will suffer along.
Ice Bear (32:44)
I will never hear this again until we hook you with another great TikTok.
Yeah, the old hookerina. We actually, and the sad part is we had planned topics and I don't think we've hit a single one of them.
Grizz (32:59)
That is true, but luckily we've only hit the halfway point because we've been on our shit. Look at that.
Ice Bear (33:03)
We are very efficient
and honestly like making good progress too. Making very good progress. Hold on, do you have the exact same size flute? ⁓ look at that bear sink. That's a good bear sink.
Grizz (33:14)
Yes, I do. Yes, I do.
Yours is just a slightly tad bit way better.
Ice Bear (33:27)
because of
Grizz (33:31)
and then like
the cool fluted design.
Ice Bear (33:34)
It does have
some nice ridges like it's it's it's a it's it's the ribbed condom of flutes like which honestly I never understood it who's getting anything out of who's that for
Grizz (33:37)
Yeah.
I don't know but I got them because they said it was better.
Ice Bear (33:51)
Ribbed for pleasure. All right, okay. I'm not a monster, of course.
Grizz (33:54)
I'm not selfish.
Ice Bear (34:03)
⁓ There was a place in where? No, no, it's either Shinjuku or Akihabara. I mean, I'm sure there probably are clubs, but I didn't encounter any of them. There's some, there's, there's some spot in Tokyo. It's like a seven floor kind of like weird sex shop thing. And one of those floors was just
Grizz (34:09)
in France.
So we're the Make It Ladies dance.
or hole in the wall.
and the men can see it all.
Ice Bear (34:33)
condoms, like every every condom imaginable. And ⁓ I remember there were some that were just like the the ribbing designs were just nonsensical. I'm like, who? Who has the attention span to like process all this that's going on? It can't be doing anything for anyone.
Grizz (34:35)
Damn.
Yeah, because even at the like
Ice Bear (34:57)
Because they had like this, this kind of thing. And then it had like the bumpies. And then it had like wavy things. And I'm like, this is this is insane.
Grizz (35:09)
I don't think there's enough like nerves to process
Ice Bear (35:14)
Yeah, I refuse
to believe that someone in the act of hanky panky is like concentrating enough to be like, yes, that particular wave, that's the feel for me. It's, I don't buy it. I don't buy it.
Grizz (35:27)
Yeah.
You
know something funny I was trying to think of the things for nerves and I was like what the fuck is a taste bud where you feel
Ha ha!
Ice Bear (35:43)
⁓ these taste buds.
Grizz (35:48)
I like, it's like a taste but you feel it. don't.
Ice Bear (35:56)
Speaking of nerves, have you ever like, this might just be me, this might be a really weird thing, I don't know, I've never said this out loud. If you're for like making something with dough, like cookies or like a pie crust, and you're like mushing it in your fingers, for me, there's certain does that give me like extreme sensory overload. Like, it's like the fingertip feel of it, like makes my whole like, spine tingle.
Grizz (36:20)
Interesting.
Ice Bear (36:26)
Like it's a full body sensation. No, like I kind of like it. Like I'm just like, I want to squeeze this cookie dough forever.
Grizz (36:26)
Is it like it feels gross or?
Is it like, so you know when they talk about ASMR stuff and you say that you get like head tingles and shit, is it like that? Okay, I can relate to that, because I've experienced that one time.
Ice Bear (36:40)
Yes. Yes.
Was it because of the Turkish barber ASMR I sent you?
Why don't you like Turkish barbers? Why are you a bigot? Stop it!
Grizz (36:57)
The issue is, is that I feel like I'm the person inside the barbara and it would piss me off.
Ice Bear (37:04)
That's why it's great. You don't want ⁓ Omar or Adeel to just rapid fire smack your titties around with shaving cream.
Grizz (37:13)
No, because a
tiger does that shit. Sand saving cream.
Ice Bear (37:23)
Yep, yep, yep, yep. Oh yeah. You gotta marry that one.
Grizz (37:28)
See,
grizzly bear is a lot of things, but bitty list is not one of them.
Ice Bear (37:39)
The old titulars. The old bear bitties.
Grizz (37:48)
weakness. ⁓
Ice Bear (37:53)
no, what happened there? Gotcha. ⁓ the apple seeds crept in there.
Grizz (37:55)
I got a sour, I was like, ooh.
Like a ghost.
Ice Bear (38:06)
Let me tell you, for a ten, this is not hard to drink at all.
Grizz (38:09)
Same thing for this being over a 12, it's not hard to drink. ⁓ Thank you.
Ice Bear (38:15)
Bless you.
Hmm.
Grizz (38:20)
Have you ever written something that we never talked about it being a thing? Have you watched you that show?
Ice Bear (38:27)
So I've seen bits and pieces of it. The seal loves it. And she's watched all of it. I'm like, I'm aware of it. Like I saw I think an episode or two and it was on in the background while I was doing other stuff. So I know how it ends.
Grizz (38:33)
You've been in the season ⁓
Even the new season? Oh, okay. We'll see. So I'm rewatching it because like I watched some of the seasons in passing never really watched. This was the last show I actually watched. Good show. Just like, know.
Ice Bear (38:44)
Yes.
Grizz (39:01)
Dexter light but like sexual assault or not sexual but sexual deviant Dexter I'll say all right but yeah so like I'm just saying so I'm like rewatching but actually watching season 3 for the first time because like I know what happens because I remember bits of it like of the ending but like I just watched an episode last night with the tiger
Ice Bear (39:08)
Mm-hmm.
Grizz (39:29)
And, and, and, the, the main, the main girl, the wife pisses me off so much that I just, I don't know what brought sparked that in my head. That's why I asked you, but yeah. Yeah. I, I'm assuming, I think it ends, I know something it ends not great for them or her.
Ice Bear (39:42)
Well, I have good news about the ending of that season.
Grizz (39:54)
because I know he's in like another country later. So I know that I know something has done a what or how, but I know it does. So I'm just waiting for it because as it goes on, I get more and more because at first the last season I'm like, you know what? She, know, the kind of OTP like it's good. And then so like, I'm, I'm, I'm, he pisses me off at the end of the last season because like she's pretty great. And then as the next season, cause I was like, this chick's fucking like she needs to fucking go.
Ice Bear (40:13)
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Grizz (40:23)
She needs to be outta here. she is a fuckin' problem.
Ice Bear (40:29)
Okay, so have you ever seen it's funny you mentioned Dexter because this is another thing that's done the exact same thing. Have you seen the edits? Were they they take? Because you know, like in you and Dexter, he's got a lot of inner monologue going on like both Dexter and the dude from you. But
Grizz (40:44)
Yeah, that's why
I was telling the tiger about it. was like, is basically just Dexter, but like, know, modern, modern, like modern wokes this kind of talking points. And then like, also it's more like sexual deviance as opposed to like murderous serial killer.
Ice Bear (41:04)
Yeah. So have you seen the edits where they just cut his lines entirely like his internal monologue lines? it's fantastic, man. Because it will be like, it will be like some girl being like, I don't know, I saw that book in your shop. And then it's just him like
Grizz (41:11)
No.
Hahaha!
Ice Bear (41:29)
It goes on for fucking ever. You're like, holy shit. So because like, it really puts into perspective if you were the other character in that scene, how bananas it is that you're not like this guy's insane because he's not saying anything for 30 seconds at a time.
Grizz (41:46)
Damn, I gotta see that because like, because even they even like it's not breaking the fourth wall, but it kind of just shows how much like how it is like a little off because where it'll be or he'll be like, Hello, and he's like, you know, ⁓
Ice Bear (42:02)
Yeah,
no, there's so many times where it's like, you, you are the one doing this. And like, he just goes on these absolute rants and they last 20, 30 seconds. So yeah, next time you watch an episode, just when he goes into one of his monologues, just put a timer on and watch how long, if you were the other person, it's just silence. It's just him fucking.
Grizz (42:29)
You
Ice Bear (42:31)
Like, it's just radio-static. Like, what the fuck is happening?
Grizz (42:39)
It's like the, no, it's like the, the edit. Did you watch Toby Maguire, Spider-Man three, right? Well, he's like, he's dark and he's like emo hair and all stuff. They redid the scene where they took out the, where he's like dancing, you know, that scene and they take, they take out the music and they just put regular life sound effects and it's the, it's the funniest shit.
Ice Bear (42:39)
I also... Go ahead, sorry.
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I've seen
that one too. It's so good. ⁓ yeah, that's really really good
Grizz (43:09)
You
Ice Bear (43:15)
⁓ Yeah, that that one is absolutely amazing.
Grizz (43:22)
fucking good
Ice Bear (43:23)
I'm that's one of my favorite things. Like there's a lot of stuff about social media that annoys the shit out of me. But edits of just nonsense and movies is always great. It's just a fantastic time.
Grizz (43:41)
So fucking good.
Ice Bear (43:43)
I was watching a thing and it was from Brokeback Mountain. And it was the same kind of thing. They just edited all the sound out. And it was just like Jake Gyllenhaal going off and you're like, no, this is so uncomfortable. This would have been the most awkward thing in the world to be there for. ⁓
Yeah, you're welcome. Go look that up. All 14 of you, especially you Czech Republic listener. Do we have any weird countries? Not weird. I keep saying weird. I'm sorry. Other countries. Do we have any unexpected countries?
Grizz (44:24)
mean, weird works. ⁓
Ice Bear (44:27)
No, no, no, I don't want to call it because honestly, when you think about it, we live in very weird countries like the Western world is bizarre.
Grizz (44:38)
yeah, I it.
Ice Bear (44:40)
So there's nothing that weird about like if we have a listener in Ethiopia great like good good for you It's probably not that weird We're probably weird
Grizz (44:51)
I know, I imagine the opus pretty weird too.
Ice Bear (44:54)
That's fair. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
Grizz (44:59)
Let's give this a little, let's give this a gander. All right, come on, let's give this a gander.
Ice Bear (45:04)
How do you
think the new Pope feels about our podcast?
Grizz (45:09)
I think. ⁓
Ice Bear (45:12)
Are we pope approved?
Grizz (45:12)
I he...
I like to feel he's let down some of his main on us.
Ice Bear (45:23)
Yeah, that seems right. That seems right. I agree.
Grizz (45:24)
All right.
Ice Bear (45:31)
⁓ dude, as you're looking that up, sorry. Sorry for the squirrel thing again, but have you seen some of the the team's season schedule release things? Like, did you see the Buffalo Bills one with AI?
Grizz (45:47)
I was going to say the only one I've seen is AIs. And it's so fucking good. Whoever made that and thought of that deserves every fucking raise in the book.
Ice Bear (45:51)
It's so good because
my God,
it's so fantastic because you know, like the intro to the point where you get to AI, obviously your average person is thinking artificial intelligence and it's going to be like some sloppily done thing. And then they bring on...
Grizz (46:11)
Like, know, basically I thought it was gonna
be the Reddit story guy like the Beme or like the Piener guy. You know what I I thought it was gonna be one of those voices.
Ice Bear (46:19)
Yeah,
exactly. And then they bring on Sir Alan Iverson, the former 76ers. Great. And it's just AI just introducing this guy. It's so great. What a move.
Grizz (46:35)
He's like, you're the last.
It's so funky, it's so good.
Ice Bear (46:43)
You
Yeah, it is it is really, really good.
Grizz (46:49)
So outside of the US and Canada currently right now, do you know who's next in the pack?
Take a guess.
Ice Bear (47:00)
Mexico. Really? Germany?
Grizz (47:01)
Nope. Nope.
Germany is...
Germany's in top 10. Top 10 Germany.
Ice Bear (47:13)
Okay.
No shit. Okay. ⁓ I'm trying to, I'm trying to remember from, is it, is it, is it the same as the, the Senpai Strength podcast?
Grizz (47:26)
There's a little variance.
Ice Bear (47:29)
Fuck, okay, UK.
Grizz (47:33)
The UK is number 10.
Ice Bear (47:34)
Russia.
Grizz (47:37)
Russia is four.
Ice Bear (47:39)
Yeah, but
Bushkin Natasha yet. ⁓ Ivan Drago. That's all I got for you. ⁓
Grizz (47:42)
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, so there's a number three between Canada and Russia.
Ice Bear (47:51)
Okay, so wait, it's for clarity, America's got to be one, then Canada. Okay, so that explains it, because you being the beloved Grizz are more popular than me, the Canadian ice bear. That's fine. I accept this. So where would our where would our third biggest country be?
Grizz (47:56)
Yep. Yep.
Ice Bear (48:15)
Is it in Europe?
Is it in Asia?
Is it in Africa?
Grizz (48:25)
No, so okay.
It's
South Asia, South Asia, we'll say South Asia.
Ice Bear (48:38)
All right, is this the moment where we learned you don't know continents? How is this debatable? What?
Grizz (48:44)
No,
no. So technically it's South Asia. But if you see this country, you're not going to be this is an Asian country. Not India.
Ice Bear (48:50)
India.
Sri Lanka.
Grizz (48:55)
No, because you're still thinking like where they're like Asian, right? But you wouldn't see this country and be like, it's an Asian country.
Ice Bear (48:56)
in
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay,
okay. Saudi Arabia.
Grizz (49:07)
Closer but now.
Ice Bear (49:09)
Iran.
Grizz (49:11)
Think smaller.
Ice Bear (49:12)
⁓ fuck. United Arab Emirates.
Grizz (49:15)
Nope. the, the, no, think, think like Guizhong province or like Vietnam of that area. No, no, no. Of the area you're talking about.
Ice Bear (49:18)
Turkey.
Laos, Thailand. ⁓ fuck.
OK. ⁓ no, this is so hard. All right. It's not Turkey. Cyprus.
Grizz (49:40)
If you buy something that from a factory that's not Vietnam, China or something is probably from this country.
Ice Bear (49:51)
⁓ what? ⁓ okay. ⁓ this is this is maddening. I'm going to hate I'm going to hate myself if I miss it. Right. Okay. Don't tell me then. Let's keep. Sorry. Sorry, everyone. This is a 20 minute segment now. ⁓
Grizz (50:01)
I'm gonna talk
Ice Bear (50:12)
Okay, not Iraq, not Afghanistan, not something in the Middle East. Yes. Yemen.
Let's start with.
Grizz (50:31)
You're gonna notice as I say it. No.
Ice Bear (50:32)
Ar-Ar-Armania.
Grizz (50:38)
If I say the letter, you're gonna know it right off the bat.
Ice Bear (50:41)
Lebanon.
Grizz (50:42)
Now you're closer on the alphabet.
Ice Bear (50:45)
Wait, I'm closer in the alphabet? Something with an ⁓ Something with an N. Kuwait.
Grizz (50:47)
Yeah.
Nope. Nope.
Nope. Too far. Too far in the alphabet.
Ice Bear (50:56)
⁓
okay. ⁓ no. ⁓ no. Give me the letter. Just give me the letter.
Grizz (51:05)
You were, you were so close.
P.
Ice Bear (51:12)
Pakistan? Is our third? What? Thank you Pakistan! What? Pakistan! I love that! Why?
Grizz (51:13)
Yes.
Yeah.
I have no idea. It's the US, Canada, Pakistan, Russia, then India.
Ice Bear (51:36)
Can you, whoa, can you imagine if like in the ongoing crisis between them and India, that somewhere there's like a 23 year old guy that's like a soldier, like the horrors of war are destroying him spiritually. And then he's like, I just need, I just need an episode of Tooby Tooby. Bombs going off and it's just us cackling about fucking beers.
Thank you. Pakistan, thank you. Thank you immensely. We love you.
Grizz (52:07)
Ha
and
then Russia, then India. So who knows, maybe we'll stop the war.
Ice Bear (52:17)
I can't believe we're the answer to the global crisis.
Grizz (52:24)
So I'll just go to the top 10 1 US 2 Canada 3 Pakistan for Russia 5 India 6 Ireland
Ice Bear (52:40)
Thanks Irish people. Yeah, that does make sense.
Grizz (52:42)
beers that make sense seven
you mentioned Armenia
8 Mexico, 9 Germany, and 10 is United Kingdom.
Ice Bear (52:58)
Look at that. Look at that. Man, I am honestly absolutely floored by Pakistan being number three.
Grizz (53:05)
I blew my mind. I don't know how or why, but there it is.
Ice Bear (53:10)
I love that. I love that for them. I love that for us.
Grizz (53:16)
That's a beautiful thing.
Ice Bear (53:17)
Alright, alright, here's the deal. When this blows up, ⁓ we're gonna do our first live show with
Grizz (53:28)
I'm gonna end up on fucking watch list.
Ice Bear (53:31)
No, no, sorry.
Look, we're going to Islamabad. And, and that's the first live show period. So it's gonna happen as a thank you for listening for an undetermined reason.
Grizz (53:45)
Yeah.
Yeah, we blew our mind. I didn't know.
Ice Bear (53:51)
All right.
Hear me out. Here's the tour. Here's the tour in my head when this when this blows up. All right, we do Dallas. We do ⁓ Seattle, LA, Toronto, Montreal, New York, Atlanta, Honolulu. Islamabad.
Grizz (54:14)
and then we'll finish in Moscow.
Ice Bear (54:17)
Moscow, thank you, Kremlin.
Grizz (54:20)
They do like bear. ⁓ And then we'll end in, where is it, Romania, where they have the bear festival?
Ice Bear (54:27)
Absolutely, 100%. Yes. man, my great grandma Zelfia would be so happy. The Romanis would be so proud of me. like, yes. Yes, Travis, you will turn to your homeland, babushka. Yes.
Grizz (54:41)
Hahaha!
What?
Ice Bear (54:53)
How's that 12 % are going over there for you?
Grizz (54:56)
It's wild that it's like pretty warm now and still just as easy to drink.
Ice Bear (55:05)
So I have little paw ice cubes.
Grizz (55:11)
That's cute.
Ice Bear (55:13)
I put it in the dog's food, for when the beer gets a little crazier.
Let me tell ya.
That's a good beer. I'm very happy to report that that was not one of the dog shit ones from the Netherlands. It's definitely one of the better ones. I can't go S tier. I can't even put it above the measly 4.4 because that was the prickly pear was good. Now that I've had time to reflect that I've had a strong boy that was still just a really good beer for a light beer. Like it's a very good beer. ⁓
Grizz (55:55)
Damn. Damn.
Ice Bear (55:59)
I'm gonna go a B. This is solid B.
Grizz (56:06)
A solid B and it was what a 10 % correct?
Ice Bear (56:09)
Yep, 10%.
Now the question is you're finishing that bad boy off is...
We're doing great time wise. Are we going to just be proud of ourselves and just wrap this with zero content? Or do you want me to go grab another one?
Grizz (56:44)
Thank
Let's hit our first, first hour episode. Let's do this. I think mine, you gave a B. We'll end this with the Ghost of Johnny Appleseed being a 12.6. I think, was it my favorite sour from Martin House? No, it was delicious. Raven Boy beat the shit out of it though. That black cherry one. This wasn't the best sour from Martin House, but it was damn good.
Ice Bear (57:01)
I love it.
Grizz (57:27)
I'm giving this guy. ⁓ fuck. I'm giving the ghost Johnny apple seed a B plus.
Ice Bear (57:39)
There we go.
Grizz (57:40)
There'll be plus, uh, look alike contest. Celestial. love you. C plus it's a, so I feel like I'm being a little too hard on them. Cause I, if it was something else, I would probably give it like a B minus, but Celestial bros like, yeah. And so this one, yeah, this one here.
Ice Bear (57:51)
Damn.
You can do better. This is tough love.
Grizz (58:11)
You know, gotta be better. I love y'all. This is gonna be a C plus. I'm sorry. It kind of hurts my heart a little bit to say so. Also, that one Blackberry lemon or the Blackberry lavender beer I put from Escape, they replied to us and they were like, I hope you enjoyed it. And so I feel bad for giving them a C plus too.
Ice Bear (58:33)
⁓ that's so nice of them. Retroactive B plus.
Grizz (58:37)
Yeah, so you know.
But I'll give
I think they do deserve a be I actually like if you like you don't mind like else and stuff like just for blood else There is a fantastic beer. I think I genuinely believe that you'll love the beer like
Ice Bear (58:48)
You know what?
We should
start doing that. We should give our own rating and then say, if this is your cup of tea, it's probably this.
Grizz (59:02)
Yeah, that's, that's, that's fair because I do think it's a good beer because, again, I can say it's a C plus, right? Which is about slightly above average. C is C is average B C plus above average. ⁓ I still get it every time I go to that, to that farm and I'm excited for it too. You know what I mean? So I think people that like blonde nails, especially the like aromatic florals will love the beer. It's a solid beer. It's not a strong beer. We're talking to like five, six, you know, 5%.
Ice Bear (59:21)
Nice.
Grizz (59:33)
the, but it's a great beer. I look forward to it every single time I go. I always get a can and it's an expensive can because you're paying a premium because it's for the farm, you know, whatever, everything's expensive there, but like, it's hot. They charged me, they charged me $10 for a six bear ounces and I'm still like, or eight ounces. And I'm like, you know what? That's worth it. And I'm fine with it.
Ice Bear (59:49)
Nice.
Grizz (1:00:02)
So much so that I'm like, you know, when we do this, the, do this Texas to West coast bear tour, I'm like, you know, just, just saying.
Ice Bear (1:00:12)
But might want
to take a detour
Grizz (1:00:16)
⁓ I'm just saying.
That's a good beer it is so so escape Thank you for applying to us. You really you really melted melt melted my heart
Ice Bear (1:00:22)
All right.
We appreciate it.
Grizz (1:00:31)
But with that being said, I got a C plus and a B plus. All eyes popping. You got a fucking A minus. There you go. I spare killed it. Good pickets this time.
Ice Bear (1:00:40)
A minus and B.
