EP 19 | Bears Got Mail

Ice Bear (00:36)
Those were both flaccid. Those were lackluster. ⁓ no.

Grizz (00:42)
Can you see this?

Ice Bear (00:46)
the little driblings.

Grizz (00:49)
This smells delicious.

Ice Bear (00:52)
Mine also smells very good.

Grizz (00:57)
Yeah, I don't know if yours looks as good, but look at that. I don't know if yours looks as good.

Ice Bear (01:00)

⁓ well, let me show you, let me show you.

It's not looking bad. It's not looking bad at all.

Grizz (01:09)
that was a good...

I recount my statement.

Ice Bear (01:14)
So do we start the episode with the tragic loss?

Grizz (01:21)
Let's just get it out the way. Let's go tragic loss.

Ice Bear (01:26)
So you may notice that the normal signature to be to be beer vessel is no longer here. And that is because it is perished. The right the right page of four months, probably truly, truly dark times, but this happy little skull is gonna let us imbibe today. So

Grizz (01:50)
It's a tragedy that nobody deserved.

young. It's basically as sad as like when the Nipsey Hussle It's debatable.

Ice Bear (01:57)
Mmm.

no, it's not that bad, but it's close.

Debatable. ⁓ This is, ⁓ I'm intrigued. Is that, wait, is that really red or is that the lighting?

Grizz (02:12)
Oh yeah, this is like a maroonish like red.

Ice Bear (02:14)
I was going to say that looks like

you just like juiced a watermelon or something.

Grizz (02:18)
This smells heavenly.

Ice Bear (02:22)
⁓ man, every time it's, this is like a warhead.

Do you remember the warheads?

Grizz (02:32)
All aboard.

I absolutely love warheads.

Ice Bear (02:38)
Man, I don't know if I'm going to be able to get through this without making that face.

Grizz (02:42)
We have an interruption, yes?

Ice Bear (02:45)

in the river.

Grizz (02:49)
the

I was told it looks like a blood of something specific and so I'm just gonna jump into it because something specific it usually comes in a blind box

Ice Bear (03:02)
Yeah, could say that, sure, yes.

Grizz (03:08)
This is Blind Box blueberry lemonade.

Ice Bear (03:12)
well done. Is that one of the, the, what are those things called? Labubu The Labubu. ⁓ wow. Look at that. They got their own beer now too? Celestia.

Grizz (03:15)
Alla booboo.

Celestial beer works hit hit

it hitting us with the sour ale with lots of Blueberry and tart lemon. This is the blind box blueberry lemonade. It is a measly tiny little little little little 5 % beer But la boo-boos are small and the tiger says this looks like the blood of a boo-boos. So

Ice Bear (03:38)
Hey, you want.

I

can't argue, I've never personally bled one of those, but I bet that's what their blood would look like.

Grizz (03:52)
You're telling me you never bled all the boo boo?

Ice Bear (03:54)
I can honestly say I've never even seen a Labooboo in the wild. Not a single one.

Grizz (04:00)
I've seen like two of them.

Ice Bear (04:02)
I've seen plenty of TikToks about them, how big are they? They look big. Okay.

Grizz (04:06)
They're like this. No, they're this big. The

regular ones are like this big. No, they have giant ones. Like I saw, I was at the mall like a week or two ago and I saw a giant Labooboo like this big and it was Tony Tony Chopper and I was like, fuck man, this is almost getting me. But it's like,

Ice Bear (04:24)
Wait, is that what its name was? Its name was Tony Tony

Chopper the Labooboo?

Grizz (04:29)
Tony Tony choppers the reindeer pirate pirate member of the straw hat pirates from one piece

Ice Bear (04:35)
I didn't know Chopper had a full God-given Jesus name. I just thought it was Chopper.

Grizz (04:39)

yeah, Chopper's god given name is Tony Tony Chopper. That's his full name.

Ice Bear (04:44)
fucking hell.

Well, when is that show coming back, by the way? Like, the live-action version of it?

Grizz (04:50)
I don't know. It went over really well as far as I can.

Ice Bear (04:53)
That as far as your live action animes go, that's probably the best I've seen.

Grizz (04:59)
And it's good too, because like, Odo, he based the characters off of like different nationalities, things in general. So like, it's easy to get a diverse cast that looks similar to the characters, you know? Yeah, so that was, you know, good foresight, even though I'm pretty sure 20, 30 years ago, he wasn't thinking about it. Yeah.

Ice Bear (05:08)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah.

wasn't really thinking about it, just

happy accident. ⁓

Grizz (05:24)
This is fucking delicious, holy shit.

Ice Bear (05:27)
So in a another instance of bear sink you have a sour I have a sour I have a little gem here from blood brothers brewing a sour ale with guava and pineapple this is paradise lost

Grizz (05:43)
love them love the book john milton fan yes

Ice Bear (05:48)
And so far every sip it is, this is the most sour sour I've ever had. Yeah.

Grizz (05:54)
Really? Well, I'm

comparing it to Warheads. I think we've talked about it, right? it tastes like the first lick of a Warhead.

Ice Bear (06:01)
Yes. Yeah. Before you get into the nice sweet like medley of flavor. Yeah. It's that initial like dust where you're like fries your brain a little bit.

Grizz (06:12)
This kind of tastes like a sour version of the blue packet of Kool-Aid, the tropical one.

Ice Bear (06:18)

well that's cool. I like it.

Grizz (06:24)
This tastes

more like a carbonated lemonade than it does a beer.

Ice Bear (06:30)
So this is kind of your version of when I had the orange creamsicle a couple weeks back. Because that was just so bang on for the flavor. Like I was floored by it.

Grizz (06:36)
yeah.

like this is amazing. also like the little tidbit like the band here. You can't see it because of camera stuff, but it says Celestial instead of, I don't know, Pop Mart or whatever fuck it's supposed to say.

Ice Bear (06:56)
so the keychain set. Have you seen the little cover guards for the Labubu? They have like little plastic shells that they live in so that you can proudly display them on your backpack or your luggage or whatever the fuck rich people do.

Grizz (07:03)
cover guards like the

that is

that is that is funny well i mean like the original ones are like 30 dollars or something like that i think maybe

Ice Bear (07:18)
Oh, I had no idea. I just know like when I see videos of them, they're all saying they're like 80 to 100 now.

Grizz (07:24)
Well, because I think, yeah, because of like demand and also people are like scalping them. Yeah, because we are scalping them basically.

Ice Bear (07:28)
The Labooboo inflation.

How many bricks do you think you could actually know you could buy a lot of lububus with a brick? Because isn't it like one brick is $2,000 right now? It's a crazy ratio.

Grizz (07:43)
Yes, of course, yeah,

yeah, yeah. See, it'd be dope. Because you can do...

the cool thing with them is they're so customizable now because like all like secondhand people are doing stuff like you can get a you can get a Glock for your little boo boo and that's pretty cool so I was like you know what maybe maybe maybe we won't want to this ⁓

Ice Bear (08:02)
That is pretty cool.

Anytime something trendy

gets popular enough that you get all the third party like add-on shit. It's always great because before the Crocs resurgence like when you and I got the mellows Which by the way root old Grizz is the pioneer. I can't take credit. He reintroduced me to the old croc as worse Like back in college I had a pair when they were originally just like the the nerdy thing

Grizz (08:20)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (08:34)
And then I remember gibbets came out and then they had the knockoff gibbets where you could get like all the NFL teams for like $2 and you're shit. So that's good.

Grizz (08:39)
just cool shit. Yeah. Yeah.

I remember like it's crazy. Crocs is like things I remember being in middle school and having a pair of Crocs and like I would wear them all the time because it's like walking on clouds. Like I loved it. But also I was like an edgy little middle school skater kid. Right. And so I'd go to Walmart with my Crocs on and then I'd see people from my school. ⁓ fuck. I can't even see me in Crocs. You know like run off.

Ice Bear (08:58)
Mm-hmm.

Did you have a backup pair of like roughed up vans to switch into or something?

Grizz (09:14)
sadly no

it was straight up just hiding just in my shame in my crotch shame

Ice Bear (09:20)
I what

so because I was never part of the edge lord crowd. What was the shoe of choice for you guys?

Grizz (09:24)
What's up?

So real quick, everyone wants to get out, so everybody say hi.

Ice Bear (09:35)
Hello Dahlia, you're a good little gwarrel. You're a good little gwarrel.

Grizz (09:38)
This is Dahlia.

She is tired of being in the dungeon so I'm going to take a brief intermission and let her out of the door.

Ice Bear (09:46)
All right. So you do that. I'll talk to the people. I got plenty to say.

plenty to say.

Alright everyone, now that we finally have some privacy, now that old Grizz is gone, let's talk. Now that the dust is settled, and the new Superman is clearly ushering in a glorious run for DC. ⁓ No, why are you back so soon? I actually had things to say, this is upsetting. Alright, now I guess I have to talk to my friend again, fine.

Grizz (10:13)
and then she shed on a turtle.

I'm sorry.

Ice Bear (10:27)
No, I was just going to go on a rant about how excited I am for Clayface.

Because last week we had the Superman album cover for the thing. ⁓

Grizz (10:39)
Do like my,

like the one jacked arm?

Ice Bear (10:42)
Yes.

God. It's so good. I love, I love the weird things that get tripped up when it's generating art. There's just certain things that can't figure out. The other day was trying to, so long story short, was trying to explain a concept I had for a parking lot and like advertising within it with pillars in front of each spot. And it just couldn't figure out, put pillar in front of each parking spot.

Grizz (10:50)
Mm-hmm.

Ice Bear (11:09)
It was just like, do you want like 19 pillars in the corner? I'm like, no, like one in front of each. It's like, oh, you mean like 23 hanging from above them, like just suspended. No, no, no, no, no. Each spot has one singular pillar of its own. Okay, got it. Half the pillars lying down, half the pillars stacked. And it's just like nowhere near it. It kept getting further away. like, people still have jobs. No worries, artists. They're not there yet.

Grizz (11:17)
Ha ha ha ha!

To be fair, so I'm right now working with like a relocation person, right? To like relocate and they're gonna put me in temporary housing until I find my new place for a couple months, And so I'm like, hey, I need it within a couple of miles of this address. And then they find me some places and it's like a couple of miles south of the address I gave them. It's like set for the museum or some shit. I'm like.

Ice Bear (11:41)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (12:01)
And so I email them back, it's like, hey, this is actually a couple miles south, showing where the office is. I need it at this address, which is about two miles north. I'm like, OK, well, we found these. And then it's like four miles north of that. And so finally, today, and she's like, I tried that address before. I was like, no, you didn't, because it was the museum. was like, OK, I'll get back to you on Monday. Have a good weekend. I was like.

Ice Bear (12:28)
Are you sure it's a real person?

Grizz (12:30)
It's a real person, sadly.

Ice Bear (12:32)
Are you sure it's not Rizbot? It's not like, hey bro, that's a sassy Ravens hat you got on today.

Grizz (12:38)
Yeah,

but it's like, geez, man, it's rough, like rough, rough.

Ice Bear (12:48)
that really, because if it's just like, so are they effectively looking for an Airbnb or a hotel?

Grizz (12:54)
So

there's some hotel things in there. I kind of want to see if they'll just like, if I pay for the Airbnb and they just reimburse me.

Ice Bear (13:03)
Mm-hmm, because have you been able to find one?

Grizz (13:06)
Airbnb's yeah, I've found a handful like already But so they're either trying to do like a month lease and a fully firm fully furnished apartment or hotel One of the options was a hotel Was the hotel I first went to when they sent me the first time? Which is like but they're like because I think the stipends like 6k for a month

Ice Bear (13:10)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (13:31)
right and then so they're like we can go here but it's also an extra $20 a day that we're not covering because it's over $6,000 for the month i like i'm not i'm not paying $600 to eat this all over the month

Ice Bear (13:39)
Yeah.

Well,

the crazy thing is, I bet if you were to find your own Airbnb, I would think it would be half that. Right? Like, I can't imagine you not being able to find, like, reasonable for, like, three grand for a month.

Grizz (13:56)
Yeah, so I don't know. I'm about to like talk to the other specialists and see how quick their reimbursement thing is. Because if I can pay it, they reimburse me within a week or so and then can buy it the next month and then they can reimburse me again, then cool. It's all cool. It's fine. But if I have to pay like the entire 60 day thing and then it's going to take them a month to reimburse me, like I ain't got fucking that kind of money. Yeah. I don't have that kind of like...

Ice Bear (14:05)
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, not trying to do that out of pocket for sure.

Grizz (14:25)
liquid clash well i don't know if you know this but most places don't don't accept twigs and berries for fucking payment

Ice Bear (14:35)
God, one of these days. One of these days they will and then it's all gravy.

Grizz (14:42)
know the value. ⁓

Ice Bear (14:45)
of the twig

and the berry.

for shame.

Well, first one's still delicious. A few sips in there.

⁓ you're like ready. Okay. All right. I'll try again.

Grizz (15:00)
I

You don't have to I'm just really enjoying it. I'm honestly I've been like trying to take small gulps and so I've been like

Ice Bear (15:08)
I'm giving-

I'm getting acclimated to the sour level, I think I can catch up pretty fast. But it was like the first few were really, really catching me.

⁓ Okay, so just because I really did want to talk about this I'm curious if you've heard about it or you have thoughts on it. So after we talking about Superman the other week, one of the next things in the pipeline for DC is Clayface. And Clayface is going to be a horror movie. And I'm really excited for them like green lighting a horror movie with a really creepy Batman villain.

Grizz (15:53)
It's actually going to be like

Ice Bear (15:55)
Yes, full blown horror movie from what James Gunn said.

Grizz (15:58)
That would be fucking amazing.

Ice Bear (16:00)
Well, I was just thinking there's so many like Batman villains. ⁓ Yeah. They are generally the creepiest, but I was thinking, man, if that does well. And, you know, studios are like, there's value in this. was thinking we could finally get a good animal band because that was one of the some of the art for that is terrifying. Same thing with like Sandman, but like R8 it or any of the like the

Grizz (16:06)
Especially Batman villains out of everybody. I think Batman villains the most

Sandman be good

or but yeah, oh yeah darker stuff would be good or just even just like a fucking tried and true classic that people like you had a psychological horror scarecrow movie You know what I mean? Like but be fucking amazing

Ice Bear (16:30)
the dark horse properties that they own.

⁓ yeah, good point. Yes, that could easily work.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Any of the, like, psychiatrist, ⁓ Arkham-type characters, where it's just a mental health thing, those would play well. And you could, if you're gonna, like, have series, then you have more time to do it, which would be really fun.

Grizz (17:07)
think of a

so kind of pivoting if the horror thing goes well like wouldn't it be cool if they would branch out and just two things in general and kind of put them into the actual things like I imagine like a ⁓ imagine like I wouldn't be even to be a suspense but just one of the more serious movies like I've imagined of like freaking mr. freeze

Ice Bear (17:30)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (17:31)
of like the wife, it like is basically just such freaking drama, like a drama, you know what I mean? Kind of like a dark, a dark drama kind of thing of the wife slowly dying and him kind of descending into madness. You know what I mean? Trying to save her. like basically just take the animated series and expound upon it into a whole movie and just like make it actual like dramatized and just heart wrenching like fucking K drama stuff. You know what mean? It'd be fucking amazing.

Ice Bear (17:34)
Yeah. Yeah.

It would be fantastic. It would be really good.

Mm-hmm.

Exactly.

Yeah. Presumably lanterns when they do that, that series is supposed to be very reminiscent of True Detective. So if they're going to go that dark, like a suspense mystery, fantastic, which also opens the door to romance. Give me good rom-com.

Grizz (18:25)
Sleep is in Seattle, but it's poison ivy

Ice Bear (18:30)
Yeah.

Grizz (18:32)
Ha ha ha ha!

Ice Bear (18:34)
You've got bat mail. It would be so good. It would be so good. There's no reason not to do it.

Grizz (18:37)
You

Dude, I-

you got mail on like on channel 30 was a USA like reruns late at night

Ice Bear (18:48)
Mm-hmm.

Yep. man. My mom was obsessed with that movie. She loved you got mail.

Grizz (18:58)
That's a good movie. Dude, there was a thing of like on, not Team TNT, but USA, they would like rerun like movies, like romance movies of like the, like over the last five years or so. And they would just play them like later at night or like in the evening. Like, I don't know how much for those fucking movies I watched because of that.

Ice Bear (19:16)
Mm-hmm.

The 90s

really knocked rom-coms out of the park. There's a lot of gems.

Grizz (19:23)
grade.

Ice Bear (19:26)
And I think it's because City of Angels.

a great one. ⁓ But I think you had a lot of actors and actresses in that stretch that their talents were just meant for that. Like your Meg Ryan's and your Hugh Grant's and your Julia Roberts. That's just clearly what they were meant to do. They're a believable

Grizz (19:40)
That's fair. That's actually very fair.

Was it the Hugh Grant, was it Notting Hill? Yeah, yeah. I forgot about that movie until you said Hugh Grant. And I just remember like the houses and shit in Notting Hill. Because I remember being, because they ain't got that shit in Texas. So I remember seeing them like, that's kind of cool. What the fuck? Yeah.

Ice Bear (19:51)
Notting Hill, he's in that,

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. That's kind of neat. What's that? What's that? ⁓

Grizz (20:10)
Remember specifically because there's scenes where like at the front door and you can see the houses in the background I'm like ain't got that shit here. That's fucking awesome. Look, that's cool looking

Ice Bear (20:16)
Mm-hmm. Yeah,

I will give the UK that. That is pretty cool. You got some good architecture over there.

How far down is the UK on the old 2B2B list? There's just no one, not a single Brit long listening to us. That's fine.

Grizz (20:34)
I don't think so.

⁓ shit, ⁓ I haven't had an opportunity to use it, but I've come across my favorite thing ever when people talk shit about the US from the UK.

Ice Bear (20:52)

Grizz (20:52)
because like I'm very much the thing of like when shitting on your own country, but as soon as you hear a tea drinking, whatever, say something about it, then you're like fucking full Eagle. You know what mean? So I'm very much that. It's very right. But so I have, I came across like my favorite reply image to use for them, like in everything now.

Ice Bear (20:59)
Thank you.

Yeah

go on.

Grizz (21:15)
And I've

been hoping it was gonna come up at some point between you and I so can just send it. But it hasn't come up so I'm just gonna send it to you right now so we can get your live reaction. Because it's fucking perfect. It is the ultimate trump card. It is the best thing in the fucking world. And when I saw it I fucking died laughing. Anytime anybody from Europe and the UK tells you anything you just send them this.

Ice Bear (21:23)
boy, I'm ⁓

I'm very excited.

You

I don't know if that's gonna be in like mirror view reverse it says Super Bowl win zero which is very true fuck fuck you France what Super Bowls have you won you dipshit

Grizz (21:58)
You

This is the ultimate Trump card now.

Ice Bear (22:06)
It's so funny in multiple respects because for us as as Americans with the freedom and bravery of Eagles flowing through our veins, we're just like, you nerds don't have a single Super Bowl win, but for everyone else, they're just like, why do you think we give a shit about American football? It's not even a sport that matters even kind of. But then again,

Grizz (22:24)
you

Ice Bear (22:32)
I don't know if you've noticed the past few years since they do like the three or four games in Europe every year. Those crowds are sellouts and they're not even getting good teams. They're getting like the Jags against the fucking Panthers and they're like Trevor Lawrence. Like you're not even seeing our mid talent. You're getting low lives and you're freaking out.

Grizz (22:39)
Yeah, they're getting bigger.

Yeah.

Yeah,

so good. I'm so Look football's dope as fuck. I can totally see why people don't like it But what made me like football was One the aggression and playing it so it's fun But then the also thing was like the chess aspect of it and they're basically like the players are just like a chess chess pieces

Ice Bear (23:19)
Yes.

Grizz (23:20)
and the coaches are like the players and it's dope as fuck.

Ice Bear (23:24)
I think that's the thing where you might be able to garner some interest in people that aren't from here. If you were to show a playbook and explain like this is your knight, this is your pawn, this is your rook and explain who does what normally, I think a playbook is fascinating from a strategic standpoint. And so like obviously for

Grizz (23:43)
Yeah, this would make me like fall in love with football.

Ice Bear (23:48)
for our generation, how many of us played Madden? Like we played real football and then we played Madden. So how many of us have like fucking 50 plays memorized? So when you're watching a live game and you see a lineup, you're like, oh shit, that's going to be a button hook. Titan is going to go here. This could be a cross route on the wide receiver. And you just immediately kind of recognize what that play might be. And then at the same time, if it's not what you want, you're like, why would you do that? What the fuck was that? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Grizz (24:10)
Yeah. When it's not. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Ice Bear (24:19)
So I do think that is because if you're not familiar with the sport and you've never played it and you've never seen a playbook and you don't really understand what's going on, it is I get that it's dull. There's constant stop, go, stop, go. And there's like 45 seconds between the, know, it's a long thing versus the nonstop of say soccer or basketball or hockey. So I get it for the people that are like squirrel. Like it's one of the reasons I like all those sports.

But if you're aware of the strategic value behind it, that is not dead time, right? Like you're assessing what's going on in the lineup and the huddle and what would you call next? Like how would you handle that given the last three plays or whatever?

Grizz (25:02)
and the thing is,

yeah, it's that and it's also like those down times too is like when you're talking shit to the people especially when you're watching in a crowd like when you're watching in a group and everybody's just chilling and hanging fun and eating and shit and especially like there's people that like both teams or you or somebody that's like just doesn't like your team there too that's where it's like it's fun because then you're doing the shit talking and then everybody shuts up for the play like it's fun as shit like like it like i told you like i don't like

Ice Bear (25:11)
yeah!

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Yes. Yes, it's absolutely correct. Super fun.

Grizz (25:32)
We've talked about it on the podcast, but like how my uncle is a diehard Redskins fan. Like diehard since he was a little kid and my dad's diehard Cowboys and like, well, if you don't, if you're not at least a Cowboy fan partially, then you're disowned. Right. And so, so this is back in the day before like cell phones and shit. So we have landlines and it'd be, and my uncle lives in Corpus Christi. like two hours south of San Antonio.

Ice Bear (25:37)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yep.

Grizz (26:00)
And so the game would be on and everybody watching it and the cowboys are fucked up or like the rest gets something on them. And I'm like, you just hear the phone ring? This is my uncle. And my dad's like, don't answer this shit. And the thing is, it just keeps ringing. It stops a second and it rings again. It just keeps ringing. And I'm like, I'm going to answer. He's like, just shit. And finally, after like the fourth or fifth call, like I'll answer it. He's like, you're dead, answer the phone. Huh?

Ice Bear (26:20)
You

Grizz (26:30)
He's like, oh, he's busy. He's like, oh, he's busy. like, and my dad's like, talk to him. And he's like, just ask your dad what happened. I wasn't watching. Ask him what happened. He can tell me what happened.

Ice Bear (26:43)
You

That's next level bullying. That's really good.

Grizz (26:48)
Yeah

And but think of it was both of them my dad would get so pissed off but he would do the exact same thing to my uncle And god forbid like he would come up for fuck because normally he would come up for Christmas and stuff not Thanksgiving But the couple years he came up for Thanksgiving when back in the day when the turkey bowl was always redskins and cowboys Like it was it was it was fucking mayhem

Ice Bear (26:56)
So good.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh man. Thanksgiving games when it was, yeah, like Redskins, Cowboys, and then Lions versus probably Packers or Vikings. That was the best. Because no matter how dog shit the Lions were, like if they were going to be one in 15, that was the game they were winning. Oh man, they fucking stacked it for the Turkey Bowl. Yeah.

Grizz (27:25)
Yep.

No game they want, yeah.

And the

funny thing is like with the Redskins it was that too they'd be like and fucking 10 and then they play the Cowboys and they would win and it's like the fuck

Ice Bear (27:39)
Mm hmm. Yeah.

Yeah. ⁓ man. Those were those were good times. But for me, as it was similar in that, so as we've talked about before, I'm a big bangles fan. So in my area, vast majority of the people there are either Ravens or Steelers fans, both in my division, right? And well, one Steelers fans are vermin and they travel everywhere. But that is

Grizz (27:47)
I think that most games are go.

Yeah, so why Steelers though?

That's fair, we

Ice Bear (28:07)
proximity

wise, Pittsburgh is not far from it. Pennsylvania is the next state up. So yeah, so there's a lot of Steelers fans there. all the way up until middle school, the Bengals were just trash. They had a real rough go of it. So all my neighbors, I'd have my Bengals and they'd be like, oh my God, we wrecked you. And yeah, you did. And then finally, like,

Grizz (28:10)
Okay.

Okay, that's actually fair.

Hahaha!

Ice Bear (28:35)
Carson Palmer got drafted and like the Bengals got had their first playoff and I was like, my god This is great when you actually get the win games. There's so much fun now

Yeah. ⁓

Grizz (29:04)
That's how I imagine

old Ice Bear as a cub with his bangles.

Ice Bear (29:08)
Yeah,

absolutely. Yep. That was me doing my hoot day with my jungle towel. So the Bengals had something because the Steelers fans had the terrible towel, right? And so they counteracted that with the jungle towel, which is just an orange version of the same thing. there were several weird superstitions that I was raised to believe that I still do to this day. It's quite embarrassing. So one, if

Grizz (29:26)
Yeah. ⁓

Ice Bear (29:37)
Actually, text this to you later. Because a couple of them are insane. But a few of them I can share. The ones I can share. If they score a touchdown, you immediately have to do seven push ups. So it's points for push ups. So like field goal three push ups touchdown seven push ups if they go for the two you go into your extra push up. That was fine. Most of my youth.

Grizz (29:54)
Yeah

Ice Bear (30:05)
But then the year that Carson Palmer got drafted and Chad was there and they had TJ Hushman's Otta and they'd put up 40 on people. Like I was not, I was not yet into fitness. So doing like 21 followed by 28 followed by 35 followed by 42. like, I can't do anymore.

Grizz (30:16)
No.

Ha

like that little fat kid that whole for every like I'm gonna do a push-up and then or for every follow again and then he ended up getting like a hundred thousand followers or like ten thousand followers some shit like that and he's like I'm gonna run one and then he like backtracked super fast cuz it was like cuz it blew up and everybody's like nah bro get to get to step and just go

Ice Bear (30:39)
You

Get to it. Start hoping it.

All right. Hold on. Brief aside. You finished your first one, Now let's go number two. What's your first rating, by the way? What are you thinking?

Grizz (30:52)
Yup.

Ice Bear (31:11)
Yeah, Paradise Lost. Certainly not Deliciousness Lost. I'm going A minus.

Grizz (31:19)
Yeah. Here's the thing. I'm saying, yeah, I've grown to love them and I used to hate them. ⁓

Ice Bear (31:22)
Also, I really like powers.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (31:30)
I'm doing A+. A doesn't feel right. said it, and it doesn't sit right with my soul. This is an A+. It really is. La boo boo, you know what?

Ice Bear (31:37)
Good job, Labubu. Good job,

Labubu. Good job, Celestial, as per usual.

Grizz (31:44)
so fucking delicious it was good ready for this next one

Ice Bear (31:46)
Alright.

You want to count down this time?

Grizz (31:53)
Let's do it ready. Say a one, a two, a squiddly diddly doo.

Ice Bear (31:55)
No.

Grizz (32:02)
There we go, that was a good fucking pop.

Ice Bear (32:04)
That was powerful, very erect.

Grizz (32:07)
my fucking god this one's even better.

Ice Bear (32:09)
with

a robbing.

Grizz (32:12)
There we go.

that's a beautiful color.

Ice Bear (32:34)
when you're doing the light. ⁓

Grizz (32:35)

Dory meh

Ice Bear (32:40)
What you drinking over there, fella?

Grizz (32:42)
All right, know, one thing when people say bears, they think trendy, right? It's always this way. Every time you hear bears in the zeitgeist, you're like, you know what? Those are those, those guys are hip to the jive. And so because of that, I opened another blind box and this is strawberry lemonade. And this is also a 5%.

Ice Bear (32:46)
I think so.

Mm-hmm.

Jesus Christ.

Alright, I love it.

Grizz (33:07)
So this is

the dual, the dual boo boo right here.

Ice Bear (33:10)
I can't believe you went double boo boo. You went double la boo boo. You went la boo boo times two boo. Multiple la boo boo. La boo boo here, la boo boo there. La boo boo in your hair hair hair.

Grizz (33:12)
Look at that. Look at that.

to boo.

All boo-boos.

I was gonna say everywhere, but I like that too.

Ice Bear (33:26)

man. ⁓

Grizz (33:29)
This is a strawberry lemonade and I'm telling you this smells fucking amazing. It's okay. Okay. I'm going to compare this to something and for people that weren't ghetto as shit, they probably are not going to be like, that's fucking amazing. But for me, it's, it's making my mouth water. right. Poverty, poverty drinks. You go to the, you go to the store.

Ice Bear (33:34)
I have high hopes after the first one for you.

Grizz (33:53)
And for us, it's Hill Country Fair because that's H-E-B's like H-E-B has H-E-B brand and then have Hill Country Fair, which is like the value brand of that, right? Like, so the generic of the generic. So Hill Country Fair and had their own, but they're also like Walmart, they had their own. They had these flavor assortments of juices that were either in barrel shaped bottles or bears and they're foil tops, right? Or they had the gallon of just red drink.

Ice Bear (34:14)
Yep. Yep. Yes.

Yep. Yep.

Grizz (34:23)
right?

This smells like the red ones. This smells exactly like the red ones and as soon as I smelled it my mouth started fucking watering.

Ice Bear (34:26)
man.

Okay, so it's funny you mentioned the barrel shaped ones, because the brand in Maryland, I think it was called Huggies, was the brand. And we also, we had a grocery store chain there called Foodline, and we had a knockoff version of it. And it was just like barrel-o-juice. Like barrel-o-juice. And it was the same size, like little kind of like, it looked like the same shape as maybe half a milk jar.

Grizz (34:53)
Yeah. ⁓

Yeah.

Ice Bear (35:02)
And it was bright red, like vivid, clearly like whatever red die 40, like most cancer you can possibly insert into yourself. And they were like three cents each. God damn, were they delicious. They were so good.

Grizz (35:13)
Yeah. So

was the barrel of juices, they have like just the assortment of colors, but there's like an orange one or green one, a big ass car. Yeah. Yeah. It's like four. Yeah. Yeah. It's like $2, $2. Yeah. So like every time there was a cookout, we as kids, got a couple of those. They got a couple of those and hill country fair used to have like hill country fair sodas for us. So it was a 25 or like, it was like

Ice Bear (35:18)
Yeah, you bought it you bought him as a you bought him as a palette. It was like 20 in the palette and it was like a dollar or something.

Yeah.

Grizz (35:41)
like 50 cents or some shit for a six pack it was cheap as fuck and so you had like root beer you had cream soda but you had like apple soda grape soda it was just all the flavors all the different flavors like that was it was it was good yeah so as kids is what we would have and it would be like a group of like little kids little kids and then like the preteens and we'd all be fucking chill posted up with our with our juices delicious

Ice Bear (35:43)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

⁓ yeah.

So, well, you're taking your first sips of that bad boy. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. ⁓ is that, is that, that's a nostalgia bear right there. I'm going to let you take a trip down memory lane. And I'm going to say to you, sometimes you just want to go with someone that is the maker of very good beer. And that's exactly what Dominion City Brewing does out of Ottawa, Ontario. They recommend you drink this fresh. This is Sunsplit.

IPA

Grizz (36:41)
Ooh,

I like that art a lot. Sometimes simplistic art hits.

Ice Bear (36:44)
Simple and elegant. Yeah,

that's what I thought too. I looked at it. I was like, you know, there's nothing fancy about this, but I want to drink it. So this is ⁓ a 6.5 EPO. The smell is fantastic. I'm loving the smell so far.

Grizz (36:59)
It

looks like a hazy. ⁓

Ice Bear (37:02)
Nope, just a standard EEPA.

It's very good. You know what this reminds me of? This reminds me of, what's that Sierra Nevada one that we've talked about before? Yeah, there you go. It reminds me that.

Grizz (37:22)
Torpedo Yeah,

yeah, I fuck with torpedo It's not amazing. But like it takes you out of a pinch anytime. I see it. I'm like, I'll fucked up. I'll get one of those Because I go to a bar If I'm lucky to have a mosaic which is from community, which is a Houston Brewer And it's just a mosaic hop I guess I get 8 % is it's solid high on the bitters, but it's so good

Ice Bear (37:26)
Mm-hmm.

Yep.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (37:50)
They don't have that. If they have torpedo, I'm like, fuck yeah. If not, I'm getting a Shinerbuck.

Ice Bear (37:56)
Okay, sorry, this is moderately off topic, but I need to tell you because I feel like you're one of the only people I know personally that will appreciate that this exists. So when I was selecting today's assortment of B airs, I was greeted with the opportunity to purchase a vodka, a Russian water. This Russian water was in a ⁓ vessel the shape of a swine's head.

a little little a little piggy noggin

Grizz (38:25)
Ooh,

that's cool.

Ice Bear (38:28)
And do you want to guess the flavor of this vodka?

It was pepper bacon vodka. It was, it was it. like our, our LCBOs, which is like the liquor control board of Ontario, they always have like one or two end caps that are designated for shit that just isn't selling. So it's like a clearance outlet area effectively. And I saw this vodka that apparently originally retailed at 75. They're now selling it for 32. And I was like,

Grizz (38:38)
Interesting.

Get it.

Ice Bear (39:05)
So here's what I decided. I said to myself, if this is here next week when we're prepping, I'm going to get it and I'm going to do a little oink oink pepper vodka to join next week. But for right now I left it.

What's the weirdest flavored ⁓ spirit you've ever had?

or not necessarily weird, it's just anything that pops out is unusual in your head.

Have you ever had screwball?

Grizz (39:49)
peanut butter one yeah I had I've had it once about a shot of it it's kind of I have a friend that fucking loves it though and he would mix it with fucking everything man like yeah that's one I agree with I'm trying to think of like flavored stuff where I'm like fuck yeah this is great or just in general it's weird

Ice Bear (39:50)
Peanut butter whiskey.

I wasn't a big fan of it, but I was glad I tried it. I was glad I tried it.

Have you

ever had anything from 360 Vodka? So they have, you should look them up, they have a full lineup of, if you can think of a fruit or like a pastry donut sweet situation, they have a version of it. Our thing in Delaware had probably three shelves of it. And it was so like orange, mango, apple, grape.

cherry, like any fruit. then there was chocolate, vanilla, caramel, dulce de leche. Yeah, it was wild. Donut, double donut, chocolate donut. And the other fun thing about them was that like ⁓ pop tops, kind of like growlers do. Yeah.

Grizz (40:51)
I just...

Okay, yeah,

it's just reminding here do you remember so so the whole the The D'alachia stuff right like that. There's just two memes from it. It just reminded me. There's that one guy where he's like Or it's a black dude and he's showing he's showing the thing. He's like what is this like the douche de louche There's that one and there's like that like there's like that like they're really like ⁓

Ice Bear (41:20)
you

Grizz (41:25)
South like Southern like all the white dude he's he's like I told you when I walked for my birthday I wanted them trippaloochie cakes

Ice Bear (41:39)
you

You just want a triple luchi cake. ⁓

Grizz (41:51)
I don't drink any flavored things but the one flavored one that I drink that I actually think is really good because this Mexican

It goes well with this and everything. Smirnoff has that, that, ⁓ Tamarind vodka.

Ice Bear (42:10)
⁓ interesting. I don't think I've ever seen that one.

Grizz (42:11)
And so like it's,

yeah, the tiger is the one thing, cause the tiger likes mixing that. Cause she doesn't really drink, but she does. She likes the, the, the, the vodka with a can of squirt. That's like her, she likes. So I did, yeah, can of squirt.

Ice Bear (42:17)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

What?

Yeah, what? I don't know what this is. So it's out. It's sounding very out of pocket. So you got to tell me what this is.

Grizz (42:38)
So Squirt is a... You've never seen Squirt before?

Ice Bear (42:44)
I have, but not what you're thinking of.

Grizz (42:46)
Not that squirt, no. Not womenade.

It's ⁓ squirt is, you've definitely seen the can. It's a yellow can with red letters and it has like the citrus inside like kind of on it. It's called squirt. It's a grapefruit soda.

Ice Bear (43:10)
because this is not ringing any bells at all.

Grizz (43:13)
Do you remember Surge?

Ice Bear (43:15)
⁓ I have seen this. Yep. have seen this. And absolutely, absolutely. I've surged was so my childhood best friend and I, like if we had like a sleepover, it was N 64 surge. And and just like a stupid amount of fucking Cheetos.

Grizz (43:17)
Yes, it's a persona.

Yeah for me for us it was Cheetos Hot Cheetos whatever we can get but surge mexican coax and the fucking sour belts like

Ice Bear (43:47)
Speaking of Mexican Coke, did you hear this thing where apparently, ⁓ Coke is doing cane sugar?

Grizz (43:50)
the US is going back to sugar cane. Yep,

dude, I am so fucking excited.

Ice Bear (43:55)
I'm happy for you Americans.

Grizz (43:59)
I am so excited for that shit.

Ice Bear (44:03)
very happy for you. ⁓ I don't really drink like full sugar pop ever but if I remember you had told me like if you see a Mexican Coke get one and I got one and I was like that is objectively better like immediately I was like yeah this is the correct answer if you're gonna drink a Coke do the Mexican Coke

Grizz (44:11)
same.

Yeah.

Yeah,

if you're get take all those calories get the fucking mexican coke

Ice Bear (44:29)
The Latinx Coke

Grizz (44:34)
I was trying to find the gif of that cat that's just like I couldn't find it so I sent evil Larry But that's the that's the gift I was looking for was that one where it's just that black cat

Ice Bear (44:47)
I was

trying to explain who Serana was to see her. I was just like, trust me, he's he feels bullied. And that's the important part.

Grizz (44:58)
It's old grizz's favorite female boxer

Ice Bear (45:02)
And then and then yeah, between that and then I was thinking of how I was looking at that one recipe and it said, I don't even know how you would say it. Philip, Philip Pinnix. I was like, played. Well played society.

Grizz (45:14)
yeah, lot of

Yeah, the t-next is the one thing that can see triggers everybody I've never met anybody that anybody that's like

Ice Bear (45:33)
Um, I have, but they weren't of that background, so...

Grizz (45:38)
Yeah,

I've never met anybody from my lineage or kin that's like, fuck yeah.

Ice Bear (45:42)
Yeah.

And

we've talked about this before, and there's a lot of things where I'm like, man, if you're trying to have a moral or a weird ethical high ground, you better have the approval of whoever is being defended, you know?

Grizz (45:59)
You

It's funny. I was like, cause there's like all the memes, on like the Mexican pages where it's like, make like being racist against Mexicans and making fun of it. And they're all like, like laughing and then says, says Latinx and they're just fucking tweaking. ⁓

Ice Bear (46:18)
Ha ha ha.

I'm just trying to think like, I feel like if you're going to do that, it would be it would be really fun to write out all the sentences with that. So like, just all the adjectives end with X two. ⁓ yes, you're looking very goredox today.

Grizz (46:36)
Yeah.

Just like this is new fucked up millennia frickin pig latin

Ice Bear (46:48)
⁓ my God, did you see the new guy? He's so guapax.

Grizz (46:53)
You

I trying to see how to do it. I was thinking of a boppy chulo but I'm working with the X's for the vowels and I was like, how the fuck would you even say that?

Ice Bear (47:13)
POPOCKS! POPOCKS! POPOCKS SHOELOX! It sounds like a bad cereal. did you have th- Dude, there's a box with POPOCKS SHOELOX! The POPOCKS SHOELOX is two for five.

Grizz (47:20)
It's like he's being a rush.

Ha

God damn.

Ice Bear (47:35)
Sorry Pakistan, we might have lost

you with this one. We should have ⁓ like language warnings at the start of it. Needs minimal Spanish awareness for this episode.

Grizz (47:42)
Cut.

No, yeah.

Yeah, that was good. It's funny.

Ice Bear (47:58)
Harfs have been had. I eagerly await for the YouTube breakdown. It's like 45 to 4750 harfs were had.

Grizz (48:01)

Yeah.

Nah, I got the hill.

good. That was good. ⁓

Ice Bear (48:20)
Well,

so what what is the thing you think you're going to miss the most about Big Techs other than family? Like like stuff wise.

Grizz (48:28)
I was thinking.

I was thinking about that because the way it looks more and more I'm going to have to like drive to Seattle because the movie companies doesn't take guns. So they don't take guns. They don't take alcohol collection. So like all my bottles of wine and like liquor bottles and stuff. So I'm like, and then the guns and stuff. I'm like, oh, fuck. So I have to, I have to take it. And then it's either that or.

Ice Bear (48:38)
Okay.

⁓ shit, okay.

⁓ yeah.

Grizz (48:59)
I will remember the car and then ship the car. And I'm like, that's trusting. Yeah. So like, yeah. So it's like, and so now I'm like, all right, I'm gonna have to, it's just, I mapped it out. It's like a, it's 31 hours.

Ice Bear (49:05)
Yeah, I don't know if I would trust that.

Dude, it's three full days, trust me.

Grizz (49:20)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (49:21)
Because I've done, so I'm aware of the Missouri to Texas, and I've done Seattle to Missouri. So it's three full days. So you're driving every bit of awake time.

Grizz (49:38)
Yeah, because I was looking at it and it's, as long as was mapping it out, it says it's 31 hours. Right, and so I'm like...

Ice Bear (49:47)
You

want four days. You want four days to make it not completely awful.

Grizz (49:53)
so was like, so I'm thinking like, I can drive for 15 hours in one stretch sleep somewhere cause my thing too is that I'm gonna have a car full of guns and alcohol I don't want yeah

Ice Bear (50:03)
So.

You don't want to be weaving.

You don't want to be bobbing and weaving.

Grizz (50:14)
That also, but I also don't want to be stationary in a place where I'm separated from the car.

Ice Bear (50:19)
That's totally fair.

Grizz (50:22)
So that's where I'm like, fuck.

Ice Bear (50:24)
All right, we're going to after we finish this, need we need to talk about this because you might need help if this is a serious game plan.

Grizz (50:31)
Yeah,

because because I was looking at it and after I was talking to the relocation people like that's a thing where it's like These are the prohibited things and i'm michael that I have I was planning to bring a lot of like the wine stuff, but I do have something I do want to bring with me Obviously, some of the whiskey bottles not a lot And then but the the gun stuff and ammunition stuff. It's It's a complete no and it's like well, I am not leaving them here. So like I kind of have to take them

And so, so yeah, so like this is that, but the one good thing though, is that all the beers I have equipped for to be to be stuff for future ones, like I'm going to bring with me because I have an ice chest that holds ice for like a week. You know what I mean? So we good. Um,

Ice Bear (51:17)
⁓ yeah.

Grizz (51:19)
Which reminds me is when you do come to good old Seattle stuff like I saved like I saved one can of the Ghost of Johnny Appleseed. I saved I saved Thunder Crunch and I saved the Bong Jook banana stout. Yeah, so yeah, so I say I saved those so you have. Yes.

Ice Bear (51:28)
⁓ that one looks really good.

⁓ I'm very excited for all of those.

I have a question.

Did any of the Luka 77 survive?

You son of a turkey. You son of a very nice woman.

Grizz (51:50)
I don't think it did.

I don't think it did. I gotta double check. Maybe. I gotta check the back of the refrigerator.

Ice Bear (51:59)
Mm What was that one called? don't sell the Sell the sell the team.

Grizz (52:03)
Yeah, or no, sell the team. It was sell the team. Yeah.

Ice Bear (52:08)
Speaking of our beloved Mavs, I know you're not happy about this band, but if they get brawn and all they have to give up is clay...

Grizz (52:19)
It's a good trade. would be stupid not to.

Ice Bear (52:20)
and

But I'm just thinking like, if you somehow get a healthy year out of AD, Kai, Bron, Cooper, you still have PJ. Like that's a stack team.

Grizz (52:36)
It really is. And the thing is like, will, if he's on the team, I'll be like, I'll still support the maps, but I'm not ready. I'm already like going to be annoyed with all the people that are like going to be glazing LeBron just because he's on the Mavericks now. And they always liked him. Like you get the fuck out of here.

Ice Bear (52:52)
Mmm.

Yeah,

no, I don't. I'm not 100 % sure it's going to happen, but from what I've been reading, it sounds like the number one option if they do trade him is there.

Grizz (53:08)
I'd rather take Luca back than have LeBron.

Ice Bear (53:11)
so what? I would 100%. But I think if you're if you're if you're just treating it like business, like I'm sure LA is, why the fuck would you get rid of Luca? That's that's a 20 something year old that by the way, have you seen him?

Grizz (53:18)
If it did happen.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ice Bear (53:32)
He's getting cut and I'm like, ⁓ shit, not fat. Luca is going to be scary. That's going to be, it's going to be dicey for everyone else.

Grizz (53:37)
Yeah.

My boy literally just went through his dark arc from getting broken up with. They're like, see you in the gym, bro. ⁓ Yeah, I saw it. was like, fuck, man.

Ice Bear (53:45)
I know. I know.

But the other thing that I always never consider from an athlete perspective is that you guys don't have state income tax. And like, if you're making a $50 million contract, that's a really gigantic benefit to be in a place where you're not getting income taxed. Like that's huge. That's an extra fucking McLaren or whatever car you want, like a year, like that's massive.

Grizz (54:10)
Very true.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ice Bear (54:20)
That's your little penthouse property in insert city. Like a couple million bucks buys you a lot.

Grizz (54:25)
I mean, that's

why Luca has a fucking Batmobile.

Ice Bear (54:30)
Hmm. yeah, his tank thing. Yeah. Yeah, looks wild.

Grizz (54:31)
You seen his crazy ass Jeep, right? Yeah.

That's why people are like, Luke is back in Dallas and they'll post to like, like the Dallas TV Instagram and they'll post Rick and like it driving like all this fucking Luca.

Ice Bear (54:41)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

⁓ I hope Cooper pans out. I really do. I hope hope I hope he he embraces the great way to hope thing. But I'm my concern. And my gut instinct tells me he is going to be honky Greg Oden. I think we're gonna get seven games.

Grizz (55:09)
Ha!

Ice Bear (55:13)
He's going to be averaging like 20 for 10 and he's just going to have a career ending injury. That's what my gut is telling me.

Grizz (55:23)
It's so sad. I'm just saying, at the end of the day, I know he's like older, so like, can't expect a long time. But as long as my boy Kyrie's on the mat, I'm happy.

Ice Bear (55:34)
Yeah.

Kai has just, we've talked about this many times, but he's just gone so full send into likable that all of the things that I don't like about him like

Is it a...maybe it's not a globe. Maybe it is a flat earth.

Grizz (55:59)
You know

what, Kai, so I like flat earthers because they're funny. Again, like some of my favorite memes ever, flat earth memes, or like, no, my favorite sub genre of internet video is like the super condescending, condescending like, not proud, but super condescending like,

Ice Bear (56:05)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (56:24)
what would it be where you're obnoxiously or you believe you're obnoxiously right like but you're just so wrong when they're like disproving it's a globe kind of thing just like like the guy the guy that brings the bubble leveler on the plane and he's like

Ice Bear (56:33)
⁓ yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about.

See, like my drop down little lunch trays level the whole time.

Grizz (56:45)
Yeah, it's like

that or the my favorite like that one like guys I got he's like obviously like a meth head guy and he gets the ball and he puts it on the floor and it doesn't roll and he's like Like the videos are the greatest things ever

Ice Bear (56:55)
You

Five big booms for you floor level man. Five big booms.

Grizz (57:06)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (57:10)
Mmm.

Okay, so before we lose the basketball topic, I can say with certainty, Texas basketball next year is the thing to watch because Houston is going to be wild now that they got KD. And I'm not a huge Durant fan, but I think given that roster, he fits right in. So I think they're going to be like front runners. Obviously the Mavs, you and I both love them, so we're going to watch them regardless.

Grizz (57:38)
He looks like a dinosaur.

Ice Bear (57:46)
And then the Spurs, like if Wemby's healthy, Castle's got another year under his belt. I'm excited for watching them too. And then, you know, the Thunder kind of honorary North, Oak, Oak Texas Alliance.

Grizz (57:58)
Yeah, mean, you're...

Thunder's closer to the Mavs than Spurzard to the Mavs.

Ice Bear (58:06)
Yeah, so.

Grizz (58:12)
Will it all be good?

Ice Bear (58:14)
⁓ Last time we had mentioned, I think it was last episode, we talked about the Hongdae guy. Yeah. Do you live alone? Are you open minded? Have you seen the newer one where he meets that makeup artist and she does him as the K-pop demon hunter? ⁓ so good. So good.

Grizz (58:22)
yeah, do you live alone?

Yeah.

Ice Bear (58:40)
And then he also did the one where like the jacket was by itself like

Grizz (58:44)
Yeah, you're

a retired Hongdae guy. Excuse me.

Ice Bear (58:52)
I want to meet that guy because I feel like it'd be really fun to hang out with. He seems like a fun guy.

Grizz (58:59)
He deserves all the popularity and praise he's getting.

Ice Bear (59:03)
Yeah, 100%. 100%. And it also makes me want to go back to soul because I'm very curious, like how accurate this is to that type of human.

Grizz (59:16)
like the fuckboy self culture in the clubs to see if they're close to that.

Ice Bear (59:24)
⁓ American, are you open-minded?

Grizz (59:29)
Is

it the iPhone 16 Pro Max?

Ice Bear (59:33)
I- I- It's the

full description of the- iPhone 16 Pro Max. It's so funny every time.

Grizz (59:45)
That's good. It's so simple. You know, it's so funny. I was talking to the tiger about it and the Hongdae guy is like the equivalent to Dom Mazzetti, the bro science guy. Like they're the same person, just different cultures.

Ice Bear (59:57)
you

dude, what is that still around his bro science still around

Grizz (1:00:05)
He's still, he's

still around. It's weird cause he's covered in tattoos now, but he's still around.

Ice Bear (1:00:09)
The first like 30 or 40 episodes of Bro Science were so funny. Like I looked forward to those in college.

Grizz (1:00:16)
fucking hilarious

Ice Bear (1:00:19)
I should go back and watch whatever is coming out now just to see if they're still holding up, but they were hilarious for the longest time.

Grizz (1:00:27)
Yeah, just what's

crazy is that he'd so iconic that you don't realize his name is not Dom because it's a guy playing the character Dom Mazzetti. But like, no, it's not his real name. That's the yeah, the character's name is Dom Mazzetti. The pro site is Dom Mazzetti, but that's not his name. It's not him. But the thing is, you see him, you're like, oh, that's Dom Mazzetti.

Ice Bear (1:00:34)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. wait, that's not his real name. I thought it was his real name.

that's so fun.

Yeah. ⁓ man. That's... ⁓ no. So he's... that's... it's a persona. I never even thought about this too hard. So you meet him on the street and he's like, I just... I was reading... books about French art and...

Grizz (1:01:07)
Yeah,

it's a funny thing because it's the same thing with like the Hongdae guy like when he's as his normal self you kind of don't recognize him almost a little bit.

Ice Bear (1:01:18)
Yeah, he seems very sweet. seems like a...

Grizz (1:01:20)
Yeah, oh yeah, like the complete opposite. But then

like you kind of don't recognize him until he like does the face. You're like, oh shit, this fucking... He didn't, you know what I mean?

Ice Bear (1:01:27)
Mm

hmm. The little cocked eyebrow and the head tilt. Yeah.

Grizz (1:01:34)
Yeah,

it's really like shit this fucking so I it's similar to that

Ice Bear (1:01:40)
Yeah.

Well, so between your two little lemonodes there, okay, okay, okay.

I'm not as powerful as you.

Grizz (1:02:01)
I'm dangerous.

Ice Bear (1:02:07)
not nearly as powerful as you.

Hmm?

Okay. How's your second one?

Grizz (1:02:29)
Second one was actually really good. Now, Tasty Nostalgia, great, loved it. Everything. I saved the strawberry lemonade for last, because I thought I was gonna like it more. I actually like this one more. So, the blueberry A plus, strawberry A. You're almost an A plus, but like, this one is better. And I know it's better. So, Labubu A, Labubu blueberry A plus.

Ice Bear (1:02:41)
The Blueberry Boy.

Good job, Labuva.

Good job, LabooBoo. ⁓

Grizz (1:03:00)
You know what?

makes me want I'm gonna buy a la boo boo now

Ice Bear (1:03:04)
No, don't stop. I mean, do it if you want it, but...

Grizz (1:03:06)
I'm gonna give it a gun. I'm

gonna give it a gun now. Bless you.

Ice Bear (1:03:11)
Thank you. I can't remember what I gave it the first time, I've readjusted to an A-. Okay, so I'm keeping it an A-. And Sunspot, Sunsplit. Sunsplit, despite the great art, is a...

Grizz (1:03:18)
think it was an A minus.

Ice Bear (1:03:34)
see. It's a beer that exists. ⁓

Grizz (1:03:35)
Damn.

Oof.

I mean, you compare it to torpedo. That's fair. Torpedoes. Torpedoes what?

Ice Bear (1:03:43)
You know,

I see, I should have seen that coming. Because yeah, it's a beer that exists, but Torpedo has the benefit of being cheap and available. Whereas this I had never seen before.

Grizz (1:03:47)
Yeah, it's good.

everywhere? Yeah. Yeah.

Ice Bear (1:04:00)
Nope, got it. I held it in. I thought I had another sneeze. Little sneesy-peesy.

Grizz (1:04:05)
Big ol' sneeze.

Ice Bear (1:04:11)
Well, let me read my notes here. I have the beers we drank. I have K-pop Demon Hunter, which I already referenced. And I have, ⁓ no, no, no. think we are, yep, we've covered everything. Everything in the notebook.

Grizz (1:04:21)

everything you

smashing.

Ice Bear (1:04:39)
smashing yes ⁓ so i think what the people want to know is ⁓ what's your favorite ⁓ hugh grant movie

Grizz (1:04:54)
I can't even think of Hugh Grant movies. I think of Notting Hill, but I there's more.

Ice Bear (1:04:59)
Yeah, I'm gonna look up a list really quick and we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna rapid fire this. Hugh Grant, Hugh Grant movies Hugh Grant, known for love actually, that's a good movie. It's a really good movie.

Grizz (1:05:05)
Let's do it.

Not

a bad movie. Yeah, not a bad movie.

Ice Bear (1:05:15)
come on, give me, give me chronological. That's what I need. ⁓ about a boy. I've never seen it. Notting Hill is good. heretic. Have you ever seen heretic? Heretic is like a horror movie and it's outstanding.

Grizz (1:05:24)
Yeah,

No.

Hugh,

Hugh Grant was in a horror movie?

Ice Bear (1:05:37)
And he's really, really, really good in it. So just rapid fire. Here's the premise.

Grizz (1:05:41)
Really?

Wait, oh wait, it's the a24 movie right that came out like I Wanted to watch it where he lets the two girls in and it's like a fucking maze or some shit Yeah, it was yeah, that's one. I really wanted to watch and I completely fell off and forgot about it

Ice Bear (1:05:45)
Yes, and yes.

Yes, yes, please watch it. It's really good.

Yeah, it's so it's two two Mormon girls come to like, you know, come, come be part of the Church of Mormon, blah, blah, blah. And he lets them in. And it is just watch it. Like, don't look into it. Just watch it. It's really good. ⁓ shit. He's really good at it. All right. What do we got? Apparently, he was in Glass Onion. That was good. I don't remember him being in it. He was in The Gentleman. I don't remember him being in it. ⁓ I'm going to say for me, it's

Grizz (1:06:03)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (1:06:27)
Definitely heretic. loved that movie. I thought it was fantastic.

Grizz (1:06:31)
I

really wanted to watch it. was that one really.

Ice Bear (1:06:35)
Alright, so as far as highest rated ones go, Love Actually, About a Boy, Notting Hill, Hoves of Fire. He's apparently in seven episodes of The Nanny? What? No. I think IMDB is lying to us. There's a bunch of French stuff.

Grizz (1:06:50)
Okay.

Ice Bear (1:06:59)
Alright. I don't know. This was a bad challenge. I don't think is... I don't think Hugh Grant is really in our wheelhouse.

Grizz (1:07:04)
Yeah.

Hugh Grant movies.

Let me see the covers. I might recognize him with the covers. I'm gonna see I Remember not in hell

Ice Bear (1:07:14)
Yeah, no, there's not a lot that I'm aware of.

All hold on. ⁓ While you're looking those up, maybe we can think of a better closeout for this. ⁓

Grizz (1:07:32)
Wait, he's in Paddington?

Ice Bear (1:07:34)
I guess I did.

Grizz (1:07:37)
I love

Paddington. He's in Paddington in Peru. I've never seen that one, but I like the first Paddington. It's a movie about a bear.

Ice Bear (1:07:40)
Okay.

It's a movie about bears. It's hard not to like movies about bears.

Grizz (1:07:49)
He was in Wonka as an umpume? Ain't no fuckin' way. Nah.

Ice Bear (1:07:52)
Yeah, I don't I

don't I don't believe a lot of these things, but they're saying it. So why would

Grizz (1:07:56)
it's ⁓

the latest one that came out. I never watched that one.

Ice Bear (1:08:00)
The

Timothy Chalamet one.

Grizz (1:08:04)
Sure, if that's his name.

Ice Bear (1:08:06)
There you go. There you go. All right, here, here you do it. You pick, you pick our actor, actress, and then that's how we're doing this. But do someone better than you, Grant.

Grizz (1:08:19)
He was in, do you

remember the movie? Did you hear about the Morgans with the fricking horse lady? What the fuck's her name? The Sex and the City Lady.

Ice Bear (1:08:29)
Sarah Jessica Parker. It's funny. I didn't know what you're talking about. But when I was a kid, I used to call her Seabiscuit. So then I knew exactly who you're talking. Sorry, Sarah Jessica Parker, if you're listening, sorry, you have a really big nose.

Grizz (1:08:31)
There you go.

Hahaha!

You know what's funny?

The funny thing about her is that the only time she looked like really good was when she was Okay for one granted. I'm gonna lose people but I hate this movie but hocus pocus I know people like them. I can't stand it. I hate it, but she was Yeah, she was she was the attractive witch and I was like god the only time she's attractive is when she's put with it fucked up make She's she's a hot witch. That's the only time she was the best one

Ice Bear (1:09:01)
That's the one with the three witches,

with BATMIDDLER.

I don't remember it at all, but.

Grizz (1:09:18)
I hate the movie, mainly because I hate it. So here's the thing. Old, young Grizz, the main girl in Hocus Pocus, she was also in Disney Channel movies, her and her face and her expressions would viscerally make me angry as a kid. It would piss me off. The sight of her would upset me and I would be in a bad mood. I hated her.

Ice Bear (1:09:27)
Mm-hmm.

gonna look up.

I gotta look up who's in Hocus Pocus.

Grizz (1:09:46)
I her.

Ice Bear (1:09:49)
Which one? Bette Midler?

Grizz (1:09:52)
No, no, no, the main girl, like the protagonist.

Ice Bear (1:09:57)
Like the younger girl? Like the little girl?

Grizz (1:09:58)
Yeah.

Yep.

Ice Bear (1:10:03)
holy shit is that lady in whoa whoa all right we've we've gone fully fully off script here yeah we're just rabbit rabbit hole

Grizz (1:10:11)
Let's go fully what's it called? Yeah, ho ho. So hocus pocus girl.

Yeah, hocus pocus cast the main girl. Don't know the fuck her name is. ⁓

Ice Bear (1:10:23)
Which one?

is it? Who is it? Is it it? Is it Kathy Najimy? Is it Thorough Birch?

Grizz (1:10:33)
maybe Thor? I don't know that name. it might be her.

Ice Bear (1:10:35)
She looks younger than the rest of these people they're showing.

Thor a birch.

Was she also in monkey trouble and American beauty?

No, I don't know. I don't see anything. She was in...

You know what? think we've officially gone too far off the rails. Let's wind it back.

Grizz (1:11:02)
see who

are you okay who are leo who was the pro tag oops a nest in hocus pocus

max dennison is that

Ice Bear (1:11:30)
This kid?

Omri Kat?

This is this is this is what appears to be a young boy, so I kind of doubt it

Grizz (1:11:40)
Okay,

so not that.

Hocus Pocus characters.

Ice Bear (1:11:49)
Look up Thor a birch. See if this is who you're talking about.

Grizz (1:11:55)
Zora Birch.

Ice Bear (1:11:57)
birch like

the tree.

Grizz (1:12:11)
I she was in Disney movies. Hocus Pocus.

Ice Bear (1:12:16)
I want to be able to help out, I don't know what we're talking about here. I didn't have Disney as a kid, so I don't know any Disney movies.

Grizz (1:12:24)
I only knew a hand. Okay, no, not her. She's, okay. Who's the fucking main character? Main girl in Hocus Pocus. What the fuck, bro? ⁓ wait, no, my bad, it's me, my fault. I was thinking something else. Halloween Town.

Ice Bear (1:12:42)
What movie are you thinking of?

Grizz (1:12:47)
They're both Disney shit.

Ice Bear (1:12:49)
No, that's a fair mix up, but I'm trying to picture who's in Halloween Town.

Grizz (1:12:53)
Halloween the main girl Halloween town. I hate her. She makes me mad

Ice Bear (1:12:57)
Kim, Kimber, Kimberly

J Brown. ⁓ hold on. All right. All right. Let's, let's wrap it. But I have a guess as to why and I'm curious about it.

Grizz (1:13:01)
Yes.

But yeah, the sight of her when I was a kid would viscerally make me angry. I would hate.

Ice Bear (1:13:23)
Alright, hold on. No,

we'll do it on episode. Is the reason why? Is it because of the really poor tooth to gum ratio?

Grizz (1:13:33)
See, it's more than just that. It's the poor tooth to gum ratio, it's the harsh cleft, and then the sharp ass fucking nose. All three.

Ice Bear (1:13:42)
Okay, all right. No, we're no

we're just we're just this is not good. This is unbecoming of bears. We're being mean.

Grizz (1:13:48)
She

was a Phineas and Ferb character in real life. And if Phineas and Ferb came out first, I probably would have been like, that's fine. But I had no idea what Phineas and Ferb was at the time this came out. So I had nothing to lean into. So yes. But to be granted, though, in Halloween town, not as bad. She's a little girl, so it's fine.

But when she got older is when it started annoying me. But as Halloween Town, the thing I just hated before that, she kind of caught some strays because like Halloween Town's a shitty ass little like kids Halloween movie. And I'm like, Halloween's supposed to be scary. Because I was an edgy little kid. Yeah, so I'll give her some grace there. But yes.

Ice Bear (1:14:18)
Mm-mm-mm.

Yeah.

Yeah, you were.

I think

that's a good moral of the story for this episode.

Grizz (1:14:44)
The

moral of the story is no matter how matter to the gum ratio is she doesn't have the creepy baby teeth like Gerard Butler for or not droller Gerard way from my chemical romance. So

Also, do you remember the song Teenagers from My Chemical Romance?

The line is teenagers scare the living shit out of me. They, they can care less as long as somebody bleeds or some shit. But like that's, that's wrong. It's they can't, they could care less, right? Or they couldn't care. They couldn't care less. Right. That would be correct. was like, don't care if you live or die, but if they, could care less, like, like, I dunno, it just sounds weird, but I'm just being nitpicky anyways.

Ice Bear (1:15:14)
⁓ my.

They couldn't care less.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Grizz (1:15:36)
Also the Halloween tongue grow had a butt chin later.
