EP 2 | WELCOME TO THE BEAR BOWL

Ice Bear (00:05)
You want me to count her down?

Grizz (00:07)
I think we already counted down. I think we're doing it live. We're doing it live and recording. I think so. We're going live and in charge. That's not how the saying goes. That's not the saying.

Ice Bear (00:10)
Okay, we're going already.

Nope, live and in charge, that's how it's always been.

Grizz (00:23)
You know what? We're making it a thing. It's like clerks too.

Ice Bear (00:25)
Alright.

Grizz (00:29)
Now, I think, I think we need to do something and I think we need to go straight to our sponsors because they did us well. They didn't get mad at us and drop us. So before we go into, yeah, so just because of that, I'm breaking the rules. You know, we have 2B2B.

Ice Bear (00:47)
That was quite impressive,

Grizz (00:58)
Broke the broke the rules last one. I'm breaking the rules this time just but in the name for our sponsors. We don't get dropped So

Ice Bear (00:58)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

You're a renegade.

Ooh, what was that?

Grizz (01:10)
Budweiser.

Budweiser. Budweiser.

Ice Bear (01:15)
Budweiser, thank you once again. We appreciate your sponsorship.

Grizz (01:19)
So although I'm gonna say nice things about other beers that are significantly better, they claim to be better than you.

This is here to you.

Ice Bear (01:31)
You know, I generally am not a fan of kings, but it is the king of beers.

Grizz (01:36)
You know, I made this point the last time when I talked about how Japanese beers are basically just rice lagers like these are.

Ice Bear (01:45)
Yes.

Grizz (01:46)
And when I take out like the can and I close my eyes, it tastes similar to a lot of just Japanese beers to be honest.

Ice Bear (01:55)
Well, this is like the old the moose head conversation we've had. That's another one that's not very good.

Grizz (02:03)
Not according to my dad.

Ice Bear (02:06)
It's a fancy ass beer that moose had.

Grizz (02:08)
it

hit really I'm telling is like my dad. Delectable taste taste of the Kings drank Budweiser for a lot of my childhood and he was like this is too strong when the Bud Light then he's like that's too expensive. We're going to go to we're doing that beautiful Bush not the baked beans but the beer right and me as a whole high school kick I drunk off a bus a lot.

Ice Bear (02:31)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (02:37)
Sometimes because you could buy you could buy a case of quartz for like 20 bucks It was you know, it was like not nine of them in there But yeah, so Did that he? One time he was like, know what? I'm gonna slow down drinking. I'm not gonna drink as much I'm just gonna buy good beer that I enjoy and by doing that I'm going to pick

sweet treat and this treat is delectable and it was moose head and me never seeing it before because that shit I made in Texas right it was just delectable green bottle with this gold embossed moose on there that shit look fancy as shit to me so when I drank it as a young and I was like damn this is a really crisp beer

Ice Bear (03:29)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (03:31)
So I was under the

impression that this show was just nice, real nice.

Ice Bear (03:36)
You know, in another bizarre instance of bear sync I distinctly remember growing up that my dad and his highly sophisticated palette had a strong affection for boxed wine. And he would go to the fridge with his with his wine glass. And he would just pour out a nice glass of wine as one does out of their white box of what I can only assume.

Grizz (04:01)
Was it that Frasier?

Ice Bear (04:03)
Yes it was. And I can only assume inside the box it's just a giant fucking Capri Sun worth of wine. And it just slowly shits out terrible wine.

Grizz (04:10)
Yeah, and it should.

So funny bear sync is different parent, my mom and my aunt drank the shit out of that white box wine. Like there was the white wine and the red wine. I remember we opened the box as kids one time because we were kind of curious and it's just a fucking bag. Like it's just like a bladder in there and it's wild. I mean it makes sense but as kids it was wild.

Ice Bear (04:32)
Mm-hmm.

That's one thing that I've just never had the ability to appreciate. And I've been offered like nice bottles of wine before. And I always feel terrible because I'm like, this is not, don't waste it on me. This it's just not my cup of tea.

Grizz (04:51)
Thanks, man.

That's fair. I like I like what I like a lot of thing is like my issue typically except please except when I'm like my father or like his friends and stuff or colleagues or at his old job and stuff. It was like

There's not anybody that enjoys like really robust red wines and stuff or at least like in my circles that I had now typically so like unless I'm with my dad or In the presence of like his old job and things like that. Like there's nobody to enjoy it with so like It's kind of hard to justify me buying bottles of wines and I'm the only one that has it it's it's very similar to the vein of like cigars, right like

Ice Bear (05:21)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (05:41)
I love them so ours are easier because I can like pair with the beer or some whiskey or whatever but There's not a lot of people around there like Let's go fucking to let's go. Enjoy a one two hour cigar or let's go Enjoy this nice bottle of red wine if they like wine typically it's like a fucking rosé or something That's more subtle. So it's although I do enjoy it. I don't really partake often Look at that. Look at that cameo still eat

Ice Bear (05:45)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Mm hmm. Yes.

Grizz (06:10)
list.

Ice Bear (06:11)
Just just another Titus cameo. Just ready to say hello to the people. You're making me thirsty. So what I'm going to do is I'm also going to crack one. But mine, unlike your sponsorship beer, is this week's first beer of the week. For your for your for your amusement, sir.

Grizz (06:30)
I know I'm making faces, but.

that's just...

Ice Bear (06:35)
We have big rig breweries, busted sled, gingerbread stout.

Grizz (06:40)
I

love that artwork.

Ice Bear (06:44)
It's very fun. And as per last week, we will put this up so you can get a good appreciation of the cam.

Grizz (06:51)
Also, the idea

of adding the QR codes for our untapped into the post has a big brain move right there. Love it.

Ice Bear (06:58)
Big bear energy.

Yeah. And we'll keep doing that because Untapped is great. And also our second sponsor. Thank you Untapped. Did you know if you smash a gingerbread house into a glass, what you get? Well, I'll tell you, you get a decadent stout layered with spice to create a dessert in a glass, a blend of specialty malts that combine to create a base reminiscent of dark toffee and molasses enhanced with the creaminess from lactose sugar.

Brewed with copious amounts of ginger, cinnamon, and allspice, it finishes with a hint of vanilla. Perfect for your epic winter adventures. So it has been unseasonably warm for Maple land. We had a 20 degree, 70 degree freedom units roughly earlier in the week. And then today when I woke up, we were substantially below freezing again. So it's stout weather.

Grizz (07:57)
interesting because like I got Texas has been very warm like in the 80s and so 70s 80s but it dropped down to like the 50s for like a day or two which is the most wild thing which I'm grateful for that is very nice color right there I say big mama

Ice Bear (07:57)
and

It says Fur Mama and I was very pleased to be able to use it. Stole it from the seal.

Grizz (08:24)
You are.

I like how you are using a mug as you I am also converting to a mug this time I You know, I do you think we should go into bear syncs I don't know about this time we should go into bear syncs how like weird they can be

Ice Bear (08:36)
What? Just another unprompted bear sync. They just happen so often.

Yeah, absolutely. See, over the years, we have adopted the principle of what's called bear sync because despite being hours away, generally speaking, when something wild happens, the exact same thing is happening to the other one of us. Both of our trucks broke down at the same time. We've had similar downers at the same time. We've had similar joyous uproars at the same time.

Grizz (09:06)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (09:16)
but it just there happens to be a lot of uncanny timeline links there. Mm-hmm. All you can do? Have beers together, I guess.

Grizz (09:22)
salt type.

Alright

that aside I'm now going to my first one my real first one

Ice Bear (09:34)
Please do.

Grizz (09:36)
this year because me me in all freedom land is very much about the Texas supremacy stuff oops it's very much about the Texas supremacy stuff so we're going with real ale brewing company was a Texas this is crash pad it's an imperial hazy epa

Ice Bear (09:58)
How real we talking?

Grizz (10:06)
which if you saw our trailer, you'll know that old Grizz is a fan of hazy epas.

Ice Bear (10:15)
as lumberjacks are.

Grizz (10:17)
This is a beautiful 9.3 Hazy Eepa outside of this really cool Grand Theft Auto Vice City can art which is not

Ice Bear (10:31)
It is

subtle and really nice. I do like it.

Grizz (10:34)
There's really nothing else added to it, but you know, it's nice. This is real ale breweries right outside of Blanco, Texas, which is kind of far from here, but not as far from my hometown. So let's get a good little crackerino.

Ice Bear (10:54)
Yeah. I hope it caught that one. They've been really good all five times. Well, six now.

Grizz (11:00)
Let's see. Look at that.

Ice Bear (11:05)
Pretty color.

Grizz (11:06)
That looks like beautiful, beautiful, beautiful pineapple juice.

Ice Bear (11:12)
Yes it does.

Grizz (11:14)
So, and like everything, small cans require two because what are these, nine ounces or 12 ounces? 12 plus 12 equals 16.

Ice Bear (11:20)
you

24 equals 16, that's true.

Grizz (11:30)
Only here.

Ice Bear (11:34)
You can't argue with that logic. just, it just checks out.

Grizz (11:39)
initial can pour.

The is high, the floor is high. I don't know, to be fair. I don't know if my thing's tainted because I'm going from Budweiser to this.

Ice Bear (12:01)
Did

the sponsor interfere with the beer?

Grizz (12:06)
I don't know, I'm saying this is a really good beer so far. First impressions is very, very nice. But I don't know if the sponsor did a layup. Or not a layup, an alley-oop.

Ice Bear (12:16)
That's fair. And

Alleyoop, yeah, gave it a sweet behind the back Luca pass.

Grizz (12:24)
Look at that, that's beautiful right there.

Ice Bear (12:27)
That is very nice. I'm finishing off this can. Let's give you a gander at this bad boy, which I didn't spill this week.

Grizz (12:38)
See you tomorrow.

There's something about a good stout that like how dark it is it just makes it. Stouts are I can see why people find stuff intimidating but a good deep stout with like a really really dark head. It's just for a good smell.

Ice Bear (13:00)
You know what I think? I

was inspired by St. Patty's Day. I had Guinness in my head and I said, I don't like Guinness, but I do want to stout.

Grizz (13:10)
My old guitarist fucking loved Guinness. I do drink this shit all the time

Ice Bear (13:20)
I don't know if it's just one of those things I had too much of and I just got sick of it. It might be that, because I don't think it was ever bad. It was just overkill. This one, by the way, is very, like very strong on the toffee. Not picking up a whole lot of other flavors, but we'll see. Maybe as it goes along, but so far it's all toffee.

Grizz (13:24)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Tommy's one of those that can go really good or really bad for. can save a stout or completely kill it. I'm trying to think of my absolute favorite stouts and I don't think they have harsh toffee notes to them.

Ice Bear (14:09)
Yeah, I don't know. So far this one's very good. I know I like a sweet profile. Like sweet is good and a stout.

Grizz (14:17)
Yeah, 1000%.

second

Ice Bear (14:24)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (14:37)
We'll take a brief intermission. Slightly brief intermission.

Ice Bear (14:41)
Brief intermission, brief intermission.

Grizz (14:48)
Yeah.

All right.

I gotta go pick up all the...

I think I have a nickname for my brother. But for my brother. I'll take it.

serenade them.

Ice Bear (15:28)
Do

And now is a enjoyable thing for Rudy as he edits through this week's and hopefully he just misses it and it makes the cut. We will now do, damn it, we got caught.

Grizz (16:51)
yeah.

Look at that.

Ice Bear (16:58)
Well, that's that's honestly a little upsetting that you got back that fast. reason being is I was going to do a reading of galloping apps for old time's sake and then just see if you caught it. Try and sneak it into the episode.

Grizz (17:11)
my...

You know what? Like...

Galveston has this fucking magical

Ice Bear (17:22)
Scalloping abs is just a treat, a literary treat.

Grizz (17:25)
You know,

we never like really got super far with the whole Alonzo's corner thing. But the ones we did were fucking great. because we did, yeah. So we did that Pokemon master one that was hard to read through. Because I guess that's how bad it was. We did galloping abs and then we just wanted to Dagobah.

Ice Bear (17:35)
I forgot about Alonzo. Yeah.

Didn't we do Swamps of Dagobah too?

Grizz (17:55)
was like... yeah.

Ice Bear (17:57)
man,

another one that would have been good was that thing I sent you the other day. The Amniville Bukake.

Grizz (18:01)
yeah.

The splat splat splat was phenomenal.

Ice Bear (18:16)
Yeah, was

a, anytime you have all caps in the middle of a thing, it's great.

Grizz (18:21)
I remember and this might be like a mess up my camera look at that look at that look at that freaking rookie move anyways so I Old Grizz has always been an affinity for horror so we would always tell scary stories and that whole splats flaps thing in the bukkake video Cracked me the fuck up because it reminded me of this time when

My younger brother was, it was his turn to tell scary stories. So he tried to make one up and in there he was taught, he brought in like Chucky, cause everybody's heard of Chucky as kids. And so he was like, Chucky came in to the room when everybody was sleeping and he had a key and then splat, splat, splat, splat.

everyone was killed and my dad who is very supportive started clowning on him because we both started cracking up me me and my dad were just laughing at my brother's expense and all summer all we would do every single time my brother would pop up well whether we were fishing or just anything my dad would go splat splat splat splat

Ice Bear (19:23)
no.

Grizz (19:47)
So when I saw the amity in the book in the splats in there immediately shot me back to that. Absolutely hilarious.

Ice Bear (19:47)
beautiful

my goodness.

Thank goodness for the nostalgia splat.

Grizz (20:02)
Because everybody knows that blood and cum is very, very similar.

Ice Bear (20:06)
You know what?

Grizz (20:09)
Cannibal Corpse says so. We have a song called I Come Blood.

I don't know.

Ice Bear (20:18)
What to do with that one?

Grizz (20:20)
Hard segue.

Ice Bear (20:25)
If that's not a motabene short, I don't know what is.

Grizz (20:27)
But...

shit. that aside, the Alonzo's corner stuff was great. Very good. I wish we got way further into it when we were doing that, because the whole premise, like the roaring fire by the car, everything, it was hilarious. And then we had the music to go with it. It was fucking great. think we should, honestly, think we should bring you back, because we have better microphones now.

Ice Bear (20:57)
We can bring him back.

We have much better microphones now.

Grizz (21:04)
Yeah, you know, I don't know. I think it'd be worthwhile.

Ice Bear (21:10)
So, okay, thinking out loud here. And maybe we should leave this to a vote for the masses. We've both been being polite and turning away for bare burps, but I don't know. Is this some sort of perverts ASMR thing? Should we be going right into the mic real hard?

Grizz (21:23)
yeah, you know.

That's a good one.

Ice Bear (21:35)
Maybe put it up as a poll or something and we'll be polite for now.

Grizz (21:38)
You know,

we'll do that. I think...

Ice Bear (21:42)
Maybe we

should give them like one teaser each. Like just unleash just one each this episode just to give them a thrill.

Grizz (21:50)
I

think we should only release it if it's powerful.

Ice Bear (21:54)
I only have powerful. That's my only setting.

Grizz (22:00)
That's a Kanye bar right there.

Ice Bear (22:02)
You're not

allowed to mention swastika

Grizz (22:09)
Hey Did you you just did you hear his latest clip that he dropped from the Sun? It's fucking great but like my my voice like a hard are like super hard are in there which is totally fine for him to pivot What's funny about it is that he's like they say I'm like Hitler, but how can I be Hitler when I'm just dirty But the thing is

Ice Bear (22:15)
I can't say I did, no.

no.

wow. no, no,

I had not seen this.

Grizz (22:37)
It's fucking great because like it hits so hard though. I like the it's it's like the good Connie as far as like production wise goes and so all the people that are like when you hear the production and then when you hear the lyrics like there's those memes which are funny but then there's the other people like now you can go fuck yourselves like when you hear the production like it's good and then like when you hear the lyrics and it's even more like

Ice Bear (23:04)
no.

Grizz (23:05)
So it's kind of funny like on the troll side, like production wise it is great. But it is just funny because it just adds more to like the crazy Kanye lore. Like when he's saying that, that happened right after or like right around the time where he was all like Jay-Z's and Beyonce's in vitro kids are, yeah. I was like I did.

Ice Bear (23:25)
yeah, I heard that one. That was a

Sometimes you just gotta lean into the crazy.

Grizz (23:33)
You know, like, here's the thing.

I like Kanye more than his music because of how crazy and fucking how much of a spectacle he is but if you're gonna be wild and you're gonna be like that like as crazy as you are like bitching that everybody's against you and all those other kind of stuff I'm like bro shut the fuck up but when you want to do some spectacle shit like he did like he his Super Bowl commercial loved

Ice Bear (24:00)
Mm.

Grizz (24:07)
Absolutely loved like you know, but not the Super Bowl last Super Bowl. He did He paid all those fucking all those dollars just to do a fucking cell phone a cell phone video of himself talking as a Super Bowl commercial And yeah, and it was a thing for for Yeezy and here's the thing where it goes like maybe it will I mean that maybe it goes way too far for a lot of people Unless you're just like in for the fucking mischief

Ice Bear (24:21)
I totally missed this somehow, I had no idea.

Grizz (24:36)
he so he did hit the easy thing and it was just the the website thing to move but when you went to the website it sold nothing but a swastika shirt

Ice Bear (24:48)
Wow.

Grizz (24:48)
And that was during the Super Bowl. So yeah, everything. But if you're just in for the mischief, it's fucking hilarious because like how crazy do you have to be to spend millions upon millions of dollars to buy a Super Bowl ad to it to only where people use majority a lot of their fucking their their budget to make these crazy commercials. And it's kind of like a highlight of just as much of the game. And Connie just like

Ice Bear (25:17)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (25:18)
cell phone video of his face while he's in his car of like, hey, go to this website, post a website. then during the websites, a fucking swastika shirt during the Super Bowl.

Ice Bear (25:29)
Do you, okay, so I totally missed this. was unaware of it. Do you happen to know how much the shirt was? Because knowing him, I can see it being like a $500 shirt.

Grizz (25:40)
We're taking leaves a thing. It was a t-shirt. I'm not sure exactly the price of it But it was great like fuck it

Ice Bear (25:51)
Cause I'm just thinking, so he puts out a million or two for the ad. And if he gets a bunch of people to get a 500, you don't have to sell that many $500 shirts to break even.

Grizz (26:05)
That's fair.

Ice Bear (26:06)
there's a

there's a there's a lot of there's a lot of lads that would love that at their pointy hat rallies

Grizz (26:14)
I really you know, something is as much of those anymore If they are they're like in somewhere Right Lord anything from Clayton Bigsby You know, they're very accepting so Yes, I just Google it right now I didn't find the price but the funny thing is so what yay said and in the commercials I spent like

Ice Bear (26:28)
Okay.

Grizz (26:41)
all of the money for the commercial on these new teeth. Once again, I had to shoot it on the iPhone. Go to Yeezy.com. And that was basically it.

Yeah, and then I got taken down. Where is it? I gotta see. Yeah, the shirt was a Hong Kong. I don't know what HH. Let's see. Where's that American dollars?

Nah, don't see it. It was...

Oh, I think it was for 73 bucks which for a Yeezy shirt is very cheap

Ice Bear (27:35)
I was this

close to saying, wow, what a bargain. And then I remembered what the fuck we were talking about. was like, oh, just the low, price of $73 to be, here's my I'm a bigot t-shirt. What a bargain.

Grizz (27:41)
But

a bigot or or a crazy troll I mean like back in the day the punk artists used to wear them like as a like you say I can't wear so fuck you like like what like Johnny Rod back in the day like I know he did so like but but again it's a little different now but but yeah $73 for any easy merch is technically very cheap you can you know you can either look like a neo-nazi or a hobo

pick which one's worse i don't know that's usually your options with easy clothes like realistically

Ice Bear (28:31)
How's your first one coming along?

Grizz (28:35)
well, what's this called again? Crashbed.

I it's actually fitting because we got into this whole easy thing and that's been like a full-blown 10 year or five year crash out crash pad has been very nice actually it's like we talked about last time hazies I great very very hard because I like them a lot was imperial hazies actually great it doesn't say what it's fruited with but it's definitely fruited like I'm getting very tropical notes like

Ice Bear (28:50)
you

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (29:12)
pineapple, maybe even guava and stuff.

So I gotta look at that because I'm getting a lot of that Which the sometimes you know can be over done I'm not a huge fan of it, but This one does it very very very well So far I'm like this has to be like B plus territory right now I will go as it goes on but I am enjoying it my 16 ounces

It's hitting very nicely right now.

Ice Bear (29:50)
We're pretty much in the same boat. I'm pleasantly surprised by this one because stouts are very hit or miss for me. There's very few like middle ground stouts. either love them or I really, really hate them. I definitely am closer to the love end of the spectrum with this one. I think part of that is I was looking forward to a stout since St. Patty's because I didn't get to drink on St. Patty's Day at all. And then

Grizz (30:13)
That's fair.

Ice Bear (30:16)
It's just great art. Like, look at this dumb gingerbread man. Just look at him.

Grizz (30:20)
Yeah,

I love that art.

Ice Bear (30:23)
He just he done broke his sled. It's very sad. So earlier I was saying how like all I was getting out of it was toffee. As it goes along, it's definitely got a good dollop of ginger in it. Like

Grizz (30:39)
So that's interesting.

I don't know how actually no good gingerbread, right? So you talk when you say ginger you mean like gingerbread like the sweet ginger Okay Yeah, okay, cuz cuz although I know gingerbread I can say ginger and I go straight into like medicinal or just straight ginger kind of Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah I was trying to pair toffee and ginger root. I was like, that's a that's a rough one for me to imagine

Ice Bear (30:43)
Yeah.

Yes, like, yeah, like a gingerbread cookie.

Yeah, no, not like not like ginger root like we're not talking about like a

Grizz (31:10)
But I can see a gingerbread, gingerbread cookie with toffee hit pretty hard.

Ice Bear (31:16)
Yeah, I'm thinking this is probably B plus C, B plus C, minus C. We'll figure it out.

Grizz (31:28)
So it's been about.

since our last since our episode one

Ice Bear (31:36)
Indeed it has.

Grizz (31:38)
It's been pretty great, honestly. It's kind good seeing all the pop up. That's been really cool.

Ice Bear (31:45)
Thank you to everyone that somehow found it before we announced that we posted it. That was pretty wild.

Grizz (31:51)
That was actually really, really cool. Especially like, you some platforms we got more than others, but like, it's been pretty cool just for the handful of people that have been like, hey, I remember you from our old podcast and then for popping up here, it's been fucking awesome.

Ice Bear (31:56)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah, we had a couple of folks reach out that were fans of the old one. And we're just like, hey, we're happy to see you back. It makes the heart sing. Makes a little...

Grizz (32:20)
I was gonna say jiggle, but hearts

way better. Sing is way better than jiggle. I don't know.

Ice Bear (32:24)
The heart's

just jiggling up a storm. yeah, give it a little jiggle. yeah, nothing like a percolating heart. But no, it was really nice. I'm glad that I don't understand what people liked about the first one. I really don't. But if you did, great. I mean, I get it. I get it. I liked everyone involved. I get it.

Grizz (32:32)
Is this like a percolating?

Yeah, oh to be honest I went back to realism to a lot of some of the old ones they're pretty funny There was some funny things there

Ice Bear (32:58)
Mm-hmm.

good. Well, that's good. As we talked about back then, I never listened to any of them. So I have no idea what's in there. And I still won't I have no desire to go back. I don't want to hear myself. I'll just trust you. I'll just trust you. I assume someone liked it. So good job.

Grizz (33:12)
That's fair.

I mean again going back some trying to migrate the old episodes into our new hosting platform and looking back at analytics like and this last month in 28 days there was another 60 some like another about 60 downloads like fucking crazy because it hasn't been

Ice Bear (33:37)
Okay, sorry, sorry to cut you off, but this was when I was re-listening to last week's, I had mentioned something about thank you to the random guy in Czechoslovakia. And I heard that again. And then I realized that hasn't been a country in like 25 years. And I was like, wait, someone's gonna call me out on it because it's like Czech Republic and it's split up.

Grizz (33:55)
Is it?

Okay, I was gonna say, okay,

I was gonna say, isn't it, is it just the Czech Republic now?

Ice Bear (34:05)
And I think Slovakia is its own thing. Sorry Europeans if I got that wrong, but I'm pretty sure that country has been split up for many years now.

Grizz (34:08)
Yeah, okay, okay, good.

Didn't

they have like their own like trail of tears? Wasn't that a whole thing over there?

Ice Bear (34:18)
I don't want to, I don't want the people to know how bad I am at history. don't. Yes, take that. The old beer dribble. Don't edit it out. Keep it in there.

Grizz (34:31)
I'm

not, because that shouldn't hit me in the tooth.

Ice Bear (34:37)
All right, I need you to chug that because we promised the people we're going to keep on track this week.

Grizz (34:45)
Oh shit, yeah Last week was two

hours and that was gay granted. We got a couple minutes We can go to like our 10 hour 15 this time because I had a runaway now, did you fill in space or were you gone to?

Ice Bear (34:53)
I was thinking the same thing because you bounced out for a minute.

I was gonna fill in space with the whole galloping abs thing, but then I just, you came back at that point. I did a little bit of what you call it, beatboxing to the tune of Doug, the old Nickelodeon Doug.

Grizz (35:10)
Okay, so we'll see.

Do

Ice Bear (35:21)
Yeah, there's

a little of that. But no, was mainly radio silence. So it's probably all going to have to get cut out. OK. I'm going to go grab my second one because I'm thirsty. I'm a thirsty boy.

Grizz (35:25)
shit. It's gonna get cut out,

For our video, I'm sorry.

So the good thing about Texas is if we got Texas companies that make these, so we're able to ready the go. And this is gonna be ice cold.

Ice Bear (35:45)
You're just ready to go.

All

right, here I'm gonna run then. I'm gonna run so you don't have to cut this out. can fill it, fill it, time it, time it, time it. Okay, okay.

Grizz (35:52)
I run I'm gonna time you ready actually hold it wait wait wait wait hold on I'm starting getting

that starting an actual timer. Let's see. Hey Google says start a timer.

Oops, I didn't even turn on the thing. Hey, Google, start a timer. Ready.

Ice Bear (36:07)
This is going

very poorly. Okay.

my god, Google.

Grizz (36:15)
You fucking Gemini, what's wrong with you? shit. It's just picking it up. It's picking me up rating it a lot

Ice Bear (36:23)
Be nicer to me.

Grizz (36:27)
This

is why, have you ever watched Bubble Gum Crisis? This is why they start going on killing rampages. Because people like us just go, all right, stopwatch, ready? Three, two, one, go.

This man just fucking gyrate before he went.

Ice Bear (36:55)
I had a mini panic attack coming back because I was like, am I wearing pants? And then I remembered, it's OK, I am wearing pants. All is well in the world.

Grizz (37:03)
Did you just, did you juggle and drive it? Yeah, first, you know.

Ice Bear (37:06)
Yeah, I gave something for the people. You

gotta shake the rump around. Look, we're on every platform but OnlyFans. We might as well get on there too.

Grizz (37:17)
That's instead of doing a page around we should just do an only fans and it's just so 21.5 I will give you three seconds because You sat in you sat in the chair before you put on your headphones So 18.5 18.5 with the jiggle 16.5 616 seconds to get Another beer

Ice Bear (37:21)
100%.

Jiggle.

And I did a jiggle. Give me four seconds.

Thank you.

Grizz (37:47)
Worth it.

Ice Bear (37:49)
Okay, so I'm very excited to introduce my second one. I've had many brew from this brewery before. This is from Collective Arts.

Grizz (38:04)
absolutely absolutely love them for anybody that doesn't know collective arts is because they do is it just artists in general or is it local artists

Ice Bear (38:15)
It's generally local artists, but I think they do occasionally reach out outside of Mother Maple Land. Because this one, for instance, is the art is from at FW Dead from England. Stoke on Trent? Stokey on Trent? No idea how to say it.

Grizz (38:22)
Yeah.

Okay Yeah, because I because I think what's

the one that good monster what's the what's it called? Okay, yes Yeah, and I excited

Ice Bear (38:38)
Good Monster is one of them. And that can changes constantly. Like if you

bought that 12 times throughout the year, it's going to have 12 different cans. They update it all the time.

Grizz (38:47)
Yeah, because I think because because

I think one of the cans that was that had the bat on it I think I think it was from England as well because the collective arts is one of the few like Canadian breweries that I can get here in Texas as well and The dope thing about them that was actually a really good crack. That was If it caught I help it catches it because in my headphones now that shit was very ASMR like I got tingles but Well, I suppose that beer

Ice Bear (39:04)
I hope it caught it.

Grizz (39:15)
Collective Arts is a really, really cool thing because all of their Cannot Work, they, I guess, buy or source from independent artists. And their art from the same line of beer, like the one we talked about, Good Monster, it changes because they work with multiple artists and they basically promote their art through the beer. It's fucking awesome. That's one thing. I know I have Martin House that has really good artwork, but I'm pretty sure they're in-house.

Ice Bear (39:36)
Yeah, it's fantastic.

Grizz (39:43)
One thing I do really, really like is that with Collective Arts, they're just supporting the art community in general, and that's something that's very, very hard to make it in. So to have a business that really supports that and kind of just spreads independent artists' work like that is fucking dope.

Ice Bear (40:04)
Mm-hmm. 100%. I love it anytime that breweries support other artists or other small businesses. Like sometimes we have one here near my job that has a partnership with like a local bakery. And so it's like they have like a famous donut that they've paired with one of their stouts. It's really excellent. So it's just like little things like that. It's like, if you have your own business and you have, if you have the means and you can do it, like if you're successful enough that you can reach out and try and lift up.

Grizz (40:23)
That's.

Ice Bear (40:33)
other small businesses around you, do it. It's an awesome thing to do.

Grizz (40:36)
Yeah, it's fucking great. it's, I don't know. I am very much like people that kind of just support the local populist stuff and like just build up people. fucking awesome.

Ice Bear (40:48)
You know what we should do? If, if anyone is interested, if listeners are interested, if you want to do some to be, to be art, send it our way and we'll feature it.

We'll post it everywhere.

Even the only thing.

Grizz (41:07)
especially the only events.

Ice Bear (41:09)
Okay, so we had a little idea that we were talking about earlier. Do want to get into that?

Grizz (41:13)
Thanks.

Let's get into let me pour the second beer my second beer and we'll get into that because it's a good one It is a really good one So mine has been kept cold this entire time by a nice Texas company product Which is adorned with see this fucking guy here. See this beautiful. So it's bright. This is beautiful. So it's bright I Got I got this I went to the LA County Fair with the tiger

Ice Bear (41:23)
Okay. Okay. Okay.

cute little guy.

Cute little lad.

Grizz (41:46)
I this thing here. I also got on my other one this one here. Look at that Mew and Mewtwo. Love them. Beautiful. Anyways, so I got...

Ice Bear (41:54)
cuddling up a storm.

Grizz (42:09)
This beautiful, beautiful thing is from Celestial Beer Works.

I see some Rams and some rabbits the size of Rams

Ice Bear (42:31)
We'll post it later, but yeah, can see it's nice. It's very cool.

Grizz (42:32)
Yep.

This here is called Triple Stars. It is Strata, Citra, and Big Secret. Which...

Which if it's Vic's secret, that like lingerie like Victoria's Secret but for dudes? So banana hammocks, right? So it's Strata, space, Citra, my personal favorite hop, and banana hammock hops. You know, stuff. It's a triple Eva. This is a 10%. It's a Dallas Hazy.

Ice Bear (42:53)
Yeah, absolutely. It's just like panty juice. Yep.

Grizz (43:19)
Right? It is, it doesn't give any notes outside of that, but it does say, store this beer cold, share this beer with an earthling whom you love, recycle this beer can to save our planet.

Ice Bear (43:42)
I'm an earthling.

Grizz (43:43)
You're everything that I love. So, I am virtually sharing this with you and everyone else listening. So I'm gonna go 10%. Us, a straight 10. So we're gonna...

Ice Bear (43:52)
and I appreciate it. What was the percentage on that again?

I don't think I mentioned

this is a New England double IPA 8%.

Grizz (44:05)
Ooh, nice.

and what is it called? Chroma what?

Ice Bear (44:10)
It is called Chroma Chromatic.

Grizz (44:13)
I do love the art.

Ice Bear (44:16)
Like they do a really good job of alternating between like really like psychedelic almost cartoonish like super loud, beep hoodie-esque art to like you're more, I don't have to describe it. Like they do a really good job of mixing up styles. So it's always a treat to see what they've put out.

Grizz (44:40)
So let's go from there. let's, here we go. Ready for this?

Ice Bear (44:48)
oooo

Grizz (44:53)
Did you get the head tingles?

Ice Bear (44:55)
No, I got the Holy Ghost a little bit. I think I believe in God now.

yeah. Yep. Yep, yep, yep, yep. yeah.

Grizz (45:07)
yeah.

I just remind me of the Hodge Twins. When they used to like do stuff, they'd be like, ee.

Ice Bear (45:27)
It just made me think of Macho Man Randy Savage. And then I was going down the rabbit hole of wrestling things in my head really quickly. And I was thinking about the Stone Cold when he had The Undertaker on his podcast and they're having a wine together. And he's like, he's swirling the glass. Look at the legs. I just want to fucking drink it. I've never related to anything more. don't want the wine, but like that's how I'd feel about beer if it was a more sophisticated like wine is.

Grizz (45:40)
Look at the legs.

by no means is beer anywhere as sophisticated as wine. And so that's what makes it even better. So I'm do that. I'm pulling up a list in pref, drilling into our next thing, because I do really, really like this idea.

Ice Bear (46:15)
Okay,

good. Because I was thinking about it all week and I was like, I want to, one, let the people that have commented and reached out know that we appreciate their interest. And also it's just something I want to talk about too.

Grizz (46:28)
that's fair enough okay so should we should we do all right let before before we go more into it but let's just let's just go with like

Let's just lay it out. Okay So I you you're the one that kind of brought this up. So I will let you explain it. So let's go this

Ice Bear (46:57)
Okay, so here's the concept. So it's March Madness this month. So we're thinking, let's do a bracket with each league. We're going to start with football this week. So we're talking NFL. And we are going to be doing if the teams were composed of their mascot. So for instance, Dallas Cowboy, you're just envisioning a bunch of Cowboys on the field lining up against a bunch of Eagles.

So it can 11 Eagles in a battle Royale against 11 Cowboys. Who's going to win that? So in my head, that's a quick, easy answer. Cowboys have guns. Sorry, Eagles. You're probably going to get shot pretty fast. Now we're going to do this with all the teams. So we're just going to run through the league. think we should just do it by division, just as they're lined up like two on two, and then just reach through it until we get to a winner. Yeah. Yeah.

Grizz (47:45)
So, NFC, AFCL.

Alright, so I pulled up a list, right? Of both divisions.

Ice Bear (47:55)
Okay. I, I,

I, yeah, I have it all in my head. So you could, if you want to do them, do them. think we should do quick two pairs, like at a time, like just individual matchups, get them eliminated. And then we move on.

Grizz (48:09)
So I'm just gonna go down the list and we're gonna go from there We're simply jump right into it. So whatever the hell the way this list on NFL calm listen, that's why I'm gonna say All right First pairing is the Arizona Cardinals and the Atlanta Falcons Cardinals Falcons who's gonna win disease?

Ice Bear (48:12)
Yeah, yeah. Yes.

See, now this is

a good matchup to start off. You got double birds. In my head, this is a quick one. Falcon's a much more aggressive bird, bigger bird. Cardinals are cool, sorry Cardinals fans. This is not your team we're dissing. You just have a smaller bird as your mascot, so you're out. So Falcons move on.

Grizz (48:33)
Yep.

1000 %

True,

falcons will kill cardinals 10 times out of 10.

Ice Bear (48:53)
The thing that I'm really curious as we go on, because I haven't thought about how they're going to be lined up in how you're presenting them, I wonder if we're going to disagree at any point.

Grizz (49:01)
It's gonna be good. I'm pretty sure this is because I can only see like four at a time on the website. So it's gonna be I think it's I think it's just alphabetical. So it's gonna be fun. So

Ice Bear (49:11)
Also,

after the fact guys, I think I would love to see in comments like who you think would win and if you disagree with us at any point, I'd love to know why. Cause I would love to continue the banter beyond this episode. Cause this is just a fun, stupid activity for me.

Grizz (49:20)
You should.

Especially

if you agree with me in that iceberg anyways, so Okay, so Cardinals Falcons Falcons win easy. That's a fucking easy one Here's one is a little better and I might be biased but we're gonna go with it Carolina Panthers Chicago Bears

I think bears take it. Bears take it. Easy.

Ice Bear (49:49)
This is,

okay, okay. This is slightly harder for me because it's, okay, we should probably have mentioned this battle is occurring on a football field.

So, because like, if this is in the woods, like as much as I love bears and I want to vote bears right away, like Panthers are very crafty. They hide, they lurk in trees. Like they could have a much better chance in a different playing field. But if we're just talking on the middle of a football field, center of the grid iron, I'm going bears too. I'm also picking bears.

Grizz (50:23)
Because, so

here's the thing. So I looked at it, so like when Jaguars are Panthers, they run 35 miles an hour. You know how much a fucking bear runs? 40 miles. Bears are faster, they're stronger, they got fucking talons and like bears win. Bears win, they're killing the Panthers, easy.

Ice Bear (50:43)
Yeah, I'm going bears.

Grizz (50:44)
Yeah, bears kill panthers easy. Next one. So here's one I'm gonna try to be unbiased.

Dallas Cowboys Detroit Lions. look. I love me some Cowboys. I do. I have two favorite teams in the NFL. Cowboys by birth because although I live in Dallas, I was born in San Antonio and I will fight to the death that San Antonio are bigger Dallas Cowboy fans than Dallas is.

Cowboys ain't gonna fuckin' beat 11 Lions. I don't see that happening. But then again, they got guns, but like, I don't know, man. I think the Lions take it.

Ice Bear (51:32)
You know what? We're being presumptuous. We are being presumptuous in assuming that they have guns. Should we be imagining that this is just whatever the mascot is without accoutrements?

Grizz (51:42)
Yeah, okay, yeah.

True. So we're just going by mascot, whatever the mascot has it does a catouse cowboy have a mask? Does the desk have guns? I want to say like in maybe like some like rally should they might have he might have guns but like, I don't think that that's a normal thing for him to run out with this 10 gallon hat and then guns. I don't think so.

Ice Bear (51:52)
can't.

But

see, the thing is, I'm not even, so I should have specified, the big headed mascot itself, but the thing it represents. Because if we're going by the mascot as it is in the crowd, some things have weird, unrelated mascots. if we're talking basketball right now, the Denver Nuggets mascot is a panther. It's not a gold nugget. So I think the...

Grizz (52:21)
That's fair, that's fair, okay.

That's right. Okay.

Ice Bear (52:33)
My original concept and the way I want to do this, if it's all right with you, is just doing a literal what it is. But I think without... So it's a tough guy. It's a tough human being.

Grizz (52:35)
you

Is literal what it is Okay, okay, so cowboy at best is Yeah, so cowboy Yeah,

as a tough you he has fucking two six shooters on him getting ready at high noon, right? So like this football fields high noon cowboy two six shooters on his hips Against fucking nearly a dozen lions. I don't think

Actually, I don't know man. That's fucking 66 shots 11 humans with six. No, actually, no, that's a hundred and twenty what whatever the fuck shots hundred and what that are there to do

Ice Bear (53:19)
Okay, you know what we should further specify? It's a lineup. Not only are they on a football field, it's like they're set up like they're about to go off, right? They're right next to each other. So I think the reflexes of the lion have now defeated the Cowboys.

Grizz (53:29)
Okay, okay, okay.

I'm

if they're actually lining up like an actual like okay, okay I was thinking like I was thinking of like Battle Royale There's just 11 against 11 and whatever happens happens. So okay if we're if we're going line up like it is high noon There's fucking you know, okay

Ice Bear (53:38)
Yeah, I think they're lining up.

No, I Yeah. Yes. But there's no

there's no 10 paces you're you're a football apart.

Grizz (53:57)
Yeah, okay you lions take that fucking Every time all right cowboys. I love you. I Hate you, Jerry Jones, but cowboys you've lost against the Lions because of Jerry Jones. I'm just saying I'm just thinking honestly Yeah again Jerry Jerry Jones is more like because of shitty ass Nico anyways, all right

Ice Bear (54:11)
Thanks, Jerry.

All right, what we got next?

Just

every episode is gonna have little bit of Fire Nico!

Grizz (54:30)
Alright,

next one, here we go. Green Bay Packers. What the fuck is a packer?

Ice Bear (54:37)
So, okay, so you know how they wear the cheese heads? So it's literally like people that work in a packaging plant. unless they're up against something that's...

Grizz (54:40)
Yeah.

So

so fucking Gertrude or so Gertrude and fucking Bertha that I've been in the line for fucking a decade Okay. Okay. So the Green Bay line workers versus the Los Angeles Rams like right Rams are breaking bones

Ice Bear (54:53)
Yeah, they're line workers, yeah.

I'm going I'm going Rams Rams Rams are taking that yeah Rams are having their way with the

Packers sorry that cheese is gonna have to pack itself

Grizz (55:11)
Damn but I'm just saying Wisconsin cheese fucking undefeated. All right

Ice Bear (55:17)
Quick sidebar, I think we should circle back 17 episodes from now and talk about government cheese.

Grizz (55:26)
government uses shit and you'll know if you don't know why 17th episode later you'll know why alright okay Minnesota Vikings versus a New Orleans Saints so what is that actually the Saints is it just as motherfuck like is it just like churchgoers or is it something specific because I don't know

Ice Bear (55:46)
No, I think I

think in in my opinion, we are talking about like actual saints. we're talking about like, you know, like the end and like St. Damien, like the dude that cured the lepers of in Hawaii, like, like they're nice people, but Vikings are going to work them.

Grizz (55:52)
Bye. St. Michael.

I don't know man like, like.

I don't know, St. Michael killed demons.

Like are we talking about like actual saints like Saint Michael? Cause that motherfucker like literally killed demons. I don't think we can beat that. I don't think blackness can beat that even if they're fucking crackhead berserkers. Are we talking about like ordained like fucking like saints in biblical thing? Or are we talking about like humanly people that are just fucking very godly?

Ice Bear (56:26)
Yes. Yes. Yes.

No, think we're talking about, we're talking about like, humanly people that are godly. I think this is another like-

Grizz (56:40)
Also humanly

people that are golly so not the actual and not say Michael not the fucking specific ones but but like just people Okay Vikings versus priests Vikings, okay Vikings are killing

Ice Bear (56:44)
Yeah, think we're... I think this is like a Packers tier thing. Like, I think... Yes.

Yes, I agree. this is, but okay, I'm glad this came up because I was hoping we'd get to the Saints because this is one thing where if we ever did an interleague version of this, I think there are some oddball circumstances where a team like the Saints that generally gets worked by almost everyone else. If they go up against the New Jersey Devils, that's their time to shine. But against the Vikings, I think you're out. I think Nylons is gone.

Grizz (57:17)
Saints are what it is. Yep. Yeah, yeah.

One berserker is gonna kill all them voodoo Saints out. Alright. this is this actually is gonna reminding you this is mascots not actual teams. Don't get mad at us.

Ice Bear (57:29)
Yeah, they're gonna skull up a storm.

Correct.

Correct.

Grizz (57:42)
New York Giants Philadelphia Eagles

Ice Bear (57:46)
Okay, so I think this would be a fun one to watch just because eagles can fly, right? So I think they could get away long enough to make it interesting, but I don't think an eagle or a squad of eagles could ever hurt giants. Like they would just annoy them.

Grizz (57:54)
That's actually very true.

Unless it

Yeah, cuz the thing is if an eagle goes into a giant eye, that's gonna hurt the giant. I don't know if this is kill the giant but also

Ice Bear (58:13)
For sure, but I'm imagining, so

like, eagle's like pecking out a giant eye, but then it gets like clapped by the giant hand and it just kind of gets squished the way we squish a mosquito.

Grizz (58:20)
True.

That's what I was gonna say. I was thinking like full on kamikaze like an eagle straight into the eye, sacrificing itself. It's not gonna kill the giant. Like even if every single eagle takes out a giant eye and we got a bunch of cyclopses, giants still win.

Ice Bear (58:36)
Yeah, I think this is the first one we've had where it's probably a pretty entertaining match, but I think the Giants win.

Grizz (58:42)
yeah, easy.

49ers, which is what? Just basically like gold diggers, right? Yeah. And Seahawks.

Ice Bear (58:50)
Gold hunters, yeah, people mining for gold.

Okay, so we have a mythical non-existent thing against people that are just hunting for gold.

Grizz (58:59)
That's it.

If

I'm going for a mythical bird, I'm thinking an albatross. And last time I heard a ship people kill an albatross, they all got banished to sea and starved to death and went crazy and killed each other. I learned it from Iron Maiden, from Iron Maiden Ancient Meriden. So with that, I'm thinking the Seahawks take it.

Ice Bear (59:23)
So basically you're thinking the 49ers somehow gang up on one of the Seahawks, kill it, and then are led to madness and murder themselves?

Grizz (59:32)
Exactly. And then if they survive that one, they got 10 more they gotta go through.

Ice Bear (59:39)
I'm totally okay with that. Yeah, I'm with you. Seahawks win. Seahawks moving on.

Grizz (59:44)
Yeah, get out of here you gold diggers.

Ice Bear (59:46)
Go 12th man. Get him Seattle. Okay, hold on quick quick aside. How good was beast mode in its prime? Do you remember the beast quake?

Grizz (59:48)
Yeah, all right.

So here's the thing I wasn't an active watcher then as much like highlight reels

Fantastic.

Ice Bear (1:00:15)
Okay, so I lived in Washington at that time. I was in Tacoma. And my roommate and I were watching that game. And I don't know if the rest of America knows this. But there were actually like Richter scales picked up that that's why they call it the Beastquake because of how like, collectively, the Seattle area was jumping up and down simultaneously, because he broke like six tackles in insane fashion.

Grizz (1:00:43)
Yeah, cuz...

Ice Bear (1:00:44)
And it was

one of the most exciting plays I've ever seen.

Grizz (1:00:46)
Because because beast so we're talking what 20 2010 right and then 2011 right Yeah, yeah Yeah, something thinking them like dudes fuck it. It's fucking legendary 4,000 percent right cuz like What's fuck what's the thing called there was a whole thing with it right was it that fucking 18 run 17 run wasn't that a whole fucking thing am I just like

Ice Bear (1:00:53)
in that yes somewhere around there. Yeah.

Grizz (1:01:16)
making shit up. Actually, I'm gonna Google this, right?

Ice Bear (1:01:16)
I don't know that term. I don't know what that term is. I could be just unaware of it.

Yeah, you Google that and as you're doing that, I will also say God bless that man for I'm here because I don't want to be fined. Like in addition to just being a great athlete, that was the funniest shit watching him at the Superbowl Pressers that year. Just I'm here because I don't want to get fined over and over and over again.

So yeah. But Seahawks moving on.

Grizz (1:01:49)
Not 17 not

17 17 power god damn it. What the fuck? Yeah, cuz it was the

Yeah, okay. Yeah, 70 power was a power run for the first time in the game on second and ten from their 33 yard line Lynch's run was so powerful that it cost seismic activity equivalent to the Magnus of a magnitude one earthquake. Yeah, so like That's fucking that's like biblical shit right there

Ice Bear (1:02:14)
Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yep.

Yeah, no, was, it was very, very, there's, there's very few things I've seen where like, I was like, this is something. Like as I, like in the moment, like there's very few plays in sports where like in the moment I was like, this is crazy. That was one of them. LeBron's block in game seven in the Golden State finals. That was another one. I was like, that's going to be like, I'm going to see that for the rest of my life on highlight reels.

Grizz (1:02:29)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (1:02:49)
And then do you remember Malice in the Palace when Ron Artest ran into the stands and started fighting people in Detroit?

Grizz (1:02:54)
That I do.

Dude, you can say whatever you want about our test, but that was so fucking great.

Ice Bear (1:03:06)
I was amped. was, so okay, I woke up my parents. I ran it, I knocked, I was like, you gotta see this, they're fighting in the stands. And that game went late. It was after my dad was asleep, he was going to work the next day. He was pissed, he's like, what do want? But it was fun. And I'm really glad I did it to this day.

Grizz (1:03:09)
I...

I remember this. God, that was such an iconic moment. I absolutely loved it. All right. Yeah. Okay. All right. Last one for NFC. We have

Ice Bear (1:03:36)
My bad, we got sidetracked. Seahawks win, Seahawks moving on.

Grizz (1:03:47)
Caffabay Buccaneers, Washington Commanders.

Ice Bear (1:03:55)
What is a commander? Like, are we just talking like a military leader?

Grizz (1:03:56)
Alright,

I think think commanders just politically correct right spin. I'm just going I'm just going against an indium. I'm just going to get a Native American indigenous American indium

Ice Bear (1:04:15)
Okay, so have we already set the precedent that they don't have their normal tools?

Grizz (1:04:21)
What I mean, it's whatever is normal with it, right? I... Yeah, so they have... So they have... Did Washington Native Americans have tomahawks?

Ice Bear (1:04:23)
Well, no, because we said the Cowboys had the guns, right? OK, so they have they have tomahawks and they have cool, cool arrows and shit.

Grizz (1:04:37)
Can we talk about Comanche's maybe? They're mother-fuckers but they're Texas.

Ice Bear (1:04:42)
I don't wanna talk out of turn and I don't know. I would give them some sort of weaponry and then the Buccaneers obviously have like rapiers and like, I'm gonna assume the Buccaneers are drunk though. So I'm gonna think that you're almost to the wash but I'm gonna assume the Buccaneers are inebriated. So I would give it to the commanders.

Grizz (1:04:45)
I don't know either. We're giving it to homohocks.

Alright, swords, yeah.

Yeah.

So see,

so here's the thing, if this game lasts 10 years, think the Buccaneers take it. But in the initial thing, if they just first see each other, I think the commanders take it.

Ice Bear (1:05:18)
do you think they're going to attack? my God, the white man's going to attack first again and just fucking.

Grizz (1:05:23)
I don't see that though because okay,

so here's the thing. Comanches here in Texas, scout people, like Comanches were fuckin' barons of like, they were specters of the fuckin' planes. They would take out full on caravans, right? So I'm thinking if that's the case, think, I'm thinking of just 11 random, but basically pirates.

that are coming to a new land and don't know what's there. I'm thinking the commanders take it. I'm giving Native Americans will take it, whatever the fuck team is there.

Ice Bear (1:06:04)
Okay. All right. I don't want to throw a wrench in the works, but at the same time, I really want to throw a wrench in the works. Okay, so I just looked up Washington Commander's mascot, because I'm not trying to be difficult, but I don't think it is what you think it is. And based on the mascot, I think we need to adjust because I believe the Washington Commander's mascot is this happy pig.

Grizz (1:06:11)
Let's go.

We'll be back.

Okay, hold on. So...

Ice Bear (1:06:33)
And I do

remember even when they were still the skins, they had like, like, winkers in the crowd. So I think it's a bunch of buccaneers versus a bunch of pigs.

Grizz (1:06:46)
So, okay, hold on. So we changed stuff from powerful Native Americans to pigs and elephants?

Ice Bear (1:06:54)
Look, I don't make the rules. I'm just trying to be realistic with what the mascot is.

Grizz (1:06:57)
So, wait, somehow

pigs and helmets is less offensive than, like, strong ass Native Americans. Alright, okay, whatever, okay. Alright, fine.

Ice Bear (1:07:09)
L-L-

I look man, all I'm saying is I think drunk pirates are gonna have their way with piggies. I think there's gonna be bacon for dinner.

Grizz (1:07:19)
They're taking pigs. Motherfucker's have some

bacon. right. Like yeah, yeah, Buccaneers take that shit. If they're pigs, Buccaneers take it. Okay. Okay, so we have round one done. Should we go on to ASE or should we just go all the way to the championship of NFC?

Ice Bear (1:07:28)
All right, bucks moving on.

good question. Let's for ease of keeping track of who we voted for, let's just finish the NFC and get the conference champ and then we'll move on to the NFC.

Grizz (1:07:46)
Okay, Next. All right.

Alright,

Falcons versus Bears. Bears take it easy. I don't think, yeah, Bears, there's no debate. take it.

Ice Bear (1:07:54)
Bears take it. Yeah, no.

Like the Falcons might fly around and make it a long game, but eventually the Bears are winning that.

Grizz (1:08:02)
Yeah, better

say it, alright. We pick lions, right? Lions... Lions against ramps. I think lions still take that. okay, lions.

Ice Bear (1:08:07)
Yes.

Lions. Yeah, that doesn't see

like I like rams. Don't get me wrong. It's a tough animal. They got horns. They're agile, but a lion's a fucking lion. So lions.

Grizz (1:08:21)
Yeah, lions take it.

Now we have Vikings versus Giants. Giants take, you can't take like a mythical being versus fucking berserkers mythical beings taking it.

Ice Bear (1:08:29)
God, this is

No, my noise was not because I was as much as I want to vote Vikings. I think you're right. think it is. I'm just imagining. I'm picturing this as it's taking place. That's a fun thing to watch. Because the Giants are not going to they're going to win, but they're going to get hurt.

Grizz (1:08:55)
Yeah, but 11 of them, I don't think 11 giants are gonna get hurt by 11. one giant's getting hurt. 10 are just fine. Actually, like, you know... Like, you know what I mean?

Ice Bear (1:09:06)
Look, okay,

okay, we never defined how big are these giants. What are you picturing? Because in my head, I'm picturing like a Hagrid type, like 12 foot guy.

Grizz (1:09:11)
that's true.

Okay, that's better, I'm thinking fucking Jack and the Beanstalk.

Ice Bear (1:09:20)
Okay, so

you're thinking like, like, Attack on Titan like wall wall giant.

Grizz (1:09:23)
Yeah,

yeah, okay, so we'll go Hagrid's I think Giants still take it but like they got some casualties from the Vikings

Ice Bear (1:09:36)
I'm just picturing like, I wasn't thinking any of the giants, because I'm imagining that Vikings, for whatever reason in my head, Vikings are smarter than giants. So they might do some tactical approaches. So I'm thinking, you know, they may go three on one and hurt one of them really bad and then get just absolutely smashed by the giants. So I'm thinking, I'm thinking that's like a three giant casualties and then the Vikings are dead.

Grizz (1:09:59)
Yeah.

Yeah, think so. So Giants still take it, but yeah, I agree with that.

Ice Bear (1:10:09)
Yes.

But that would be another fun one. That's another like, because a lot of these have been just like embarrassing defeats like sweeps. Gentlemen sweeps.

Grizz (1:10:12)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Next one Seahawks versus Buccaneers. So here's one again. I think it falls into exactly it and it's more appropriate now because it got the bucket Yeah, so see how it's one, right

Ice Bear (1:10:27)
It's the same thing again. It's the exact same logic as the first time. Yes, now they're Buccaneers. Now they're just, ooh, ooh, what's that?

Seahawks moving on. Good job, Seattle.

Grizz (1:10:41)
All right next one Bears versus Lions, this is a good one. I Still think bears take it I still think bears take it I don't

Ice Bear (1:10:47)
Okay.

I think

we would be bad bears in something where you can make the argument for bears if we didn't both vote bear.

Grizz (1:11:02)
Because I don't see any predator cat taking out 11 fucking bears. I think it would be the similar thing with the bikies versus the giants. think their lines are gonna fucking fuck up some bears, but I think overall the bears are gonna take them.

Ice Bear (1:11:19)
Have you ever seen like nature videos of like grizzly bears fighting each other? It is insane how aggressive they are.

Grizz (1:11:23)
Oh yeah, it's just wild.

That's why like when people are like, who will win a gorilla or grizzly bear? The fucking grizzly bear, what are you talking about? Like, it's not even close. We're talking about a vegan versus a fucking unhinged berry eating carnivore. Like, what are you talking about? Like the fucking, if it has fucking razors attached to his hands, it's a Freddy Krueger non-pedophile berry eating carnivore. Like it's, are winning.

Ice Bear (1:11:54)
and

Grizz (1:11:59)
So, all

right, so bears kill the lions.

Ice Bear (1:12:03)
Bears move on and then Seahawks and who?

Grizz (1:12:06)
Wait,

wait, we did, so rams killed Packers, saints killed, or vikings killed saints, vikings killed rams, so vikings against Seahawk.

Ice Bear (1:12:14)
Yeah.

No, we just had

Vikings. We just had Vikings giants.

Grizz (1:12:21)
We did right here. We did they're dead. All right, so Giants versus

Ice Bear (1:12:26)
We just had giants beat the Vikings.

Grizz (1:12:29)
Yeah, so and then we had to see how so it's Giants vs Seahawks

Ice Bear (1:12:34)
really? Hold on, hold on. You're being crazy. I gotta pull up a league. I feel like you've missed something. You missed a bracket.

Grizz (1:12:35)
That's the next one. Yeah.

No,

Ice Bear (1:13:02)
shit, okay, yeah, no, you're right.

Yeah.

Grizz (1:13:07)
And then

it was Giants, Rams, or whatever the fuck they win. Right? And then Bears wins that one. So it's Bears versus Giants? Yeah.

Ice Bear (1:13:18)
No,

no, no, no, no, it's gotta be it's gotta be Giants Seahawks, right?

Grizz (1:13:23)
I don't know.

Ice Bear (1:13:24)
Hold on, hold on, let me pull up a thing. Let me pull up a thing. We're gonna work this out. Because there's gotta be an even number of things left.

Grizz (1:13:29)
Yeah, no, I'm saying.

Yeah.

Hold on, here we go. We're gonna fuck some good old fashioned paper. I know I got some in there. Alright. Perfect, right here,

Ice Bear (1:13:44)
Darn it. Gosh darn

it. Okay, no, I'm on the same list as you. Okay. All right. So they were out. They were out. They were out. Bears have stayed. They were out.

Grizz (1:13:53)
I'm pulling out

a whole ass paper. We're doing this. We're doing this official like all right ready for this. I'm pulling out

Ice Bear (1:13:58)
Okay. All right.

Do it real official. All right, hold on. So I'm going to I'm going to rapid fire you the winners of the first round. Let me know when you're ready. All right, Falcon Falcons beat Cardinals Falcons moving on. Bears beat Panthers Bears moving on. Lions beat them boys lions moving on. Rams beat Ethel Rams moving on.

Grizz (1:14:05)
All right, so okay, let's go

yep.

Yep.

Yep.

Ice Bear (1:14:25)
Vikings conquer St. Damien. Vikings moving on. Giants beat birds.

Seahawks conquer gold miners.

Grizz (1:14:41)
Yep.

Ice Bear (1:14:41)
and

Buccaneers eat bacon for dinner.

Grizz (1:14:46)
Okay, so the next is falcons bears bears win Alright so bears and then you have Lions Rams Lions win, right? Yep, and then you have Giants Vikings Giants win, correct? And then you have Seahawks Rams, right? Or Seahawks bucks and then Seahawks win. Yes. I was yeah, I was right

Ice Bear (1:14:50)
Yes.

Yep.

Lions. Yep.

Yes. Yes.

Grizz (1:15:14)
Alright, so now we have bears, lions, bears, win.

Ice Bear (1:15:18)
Yeah.

Grizz (1:15:20)
And then you have giant Seahawks. That was the next one. Yeah, that was us. That was correct. Giant Seahawks, who wins?

Ice Bear (1:15:23)
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Well, I'm glad I wasted three minutes of our time to verify.

Grizz (1:15:31)
Well, actually, I

actually know I just assumed the last one. We didn't go giant Seahawks. I just went Giants Bears. So I do think that the Giants killed the Seahawks.

Ice Bear (1:15:37)
Okay, all right.

Yep, I'm okay with that.

Grizz (1:15:49)
Right? Like, you can't be the- like... Even if they do the whole albatross thing and they like starve to death or whatever, like... One giant's killing multiple fucking... birds. Yeah, giants win that shit.

Ice Bear (1:16:01)
I agree.

Okay.

Grizz (1:16:06)
Now.

Giants bears.

Ice Bear (1:16:11)
Okay. So we've, so we've been picturing it. We've agreed it's a 12 foot Hagrid type human. Grizzly bear, 800 pounds, eight feet tall on its hind legs. Also, grizzly bear teeth, grizzly bear, sharp claws. Now also now, now we

Grizz (1:16:13)
Can a giant kill a bear?

Yeah, that was a bear.

Sharp claws. Run 40 miles an hour. Run 40 miles an

hour.

Ice Bear (1:16:38)
We've been operating under the assumption we're talking grizzlies, but Chicago never, I mean, their mascot's kind of orange. So it's just kind of a generalization of a bear. Now let's say, let's say we were, well, let's, I was going to say, let's say they're talking about me. Let's say they're talking about a polar bear. Polar bear, eight foot five, 1,760 pounds.

Grizz (1:16:47)
Kodiak variables. It's a Kodiak.

well polar bears taking that shit when all of the growlers.

Ice Bear (1:17:06)
So let's say it's just a mixture of grizzlies and polar bears. I'm voting bears.

Grizz (1:17:12)
1000 % because okay look the average six foot plus human is what I You know, I'm a hefty fella. I'm talking I'm teetering like Normal like to 250 260 hefty 270 280 Right, and I'm a lean bean 3040

Ice Bear (1:17:30)
Yeah, so if you double our

height, because I'm 6'1 and I'm 2'10. So let's average us. So they're like 500 pounds.

Grizz (1:17:38)
Yeah, and I'm six, right?

500 to 600 pounds Yeah, bears are sluggish Yep, I think bears take it I think bears fucking mall giants

Ice Bear (1:17:47)
So the bears are working them. They got claws, they got teeth, they're faster. Okay, bears win FC.

Grizz (1:17:58)
Bears.

Ice Bear (1:17:59)
Do you think people

are gonna think we rig this for the Bears? Because this is really genuinely, I'm kind of surprised. I didn't expect the Bears to make it out of the NFC.

Grizz (1:18:06)
Go,

okay, again, if we were think I was initially thinking fucking P five, from giants, were talking that it goes to a P five, jump. We're talking about fucking Harry Potter giants. Bears are eating them motherfuckers. Easy. Put a hacker against any Kodiak. Ain't happening. Ain't happening.

Ice Bear (1:18:18)
Yes.

All right. Okay, so we got our NFC champ. So now we got to do AFC.

Grizz (1:18:32)
Alright, now we, yep,

now we go into AFC. fuck, god damn it, alright. It's, it's still going like, definitely better than the first one.

Ice Bear (1:18:38)
How's your beer going, by the way?

Look at us about the exact same level. Just another weird bear sync. All right. Bear sync: your word of the week.

Grizz (1:18:47)
Yep.

Your word of the day, because it looked like, yep. All right, now, we're gonna fucking Spitfire AFC, because...

we're gonna spitfire AFC because you know, I say they don't matter as much, but although my favorite team outside of the Dallas Cowboys is here, and Iceberg's favorite team is here too. So, I did say that you know, because of where I'm born, I'm a Cowboys fan by birth, but my personal favorite team outside of the Cowboys is the Baltimore Ravens, who is...

Ice Bear (1:19:13)
Let's roll.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (1:19:33)
of ice-cream shaver thing. And it just is what it is. So, Baltimore Ravens versus Buffalo Bills.

Ice Bear (1:19:33)
That is true.

is what it is.

Okay.

Grizz (1:19:48)
So

the Bills, it's a Buffalo, right? Like, fuck, yeah, it's not a Bills, it's a Buffalo. It's a Buffalo. So 11 Ravens versus 11 Buffalos.

Ice Bear (1:19:50)
They're buffaloes. Yeah. It's a buffalo.

I like I want to root for your boys, but I think the buffaloes are taking that.

Grizz (1:20:04)
So here's the thing that's kind of hard. I was going to say like Ravens are in the air. Buffaloes can't fucking really like they can stomp on them. But like how can they really like get stuff from them? But then they're all.

Ice Bear (1:20:17)
How's a raven killing

a buffalo?

Grizz (1:20:20)
Death by a thousand cuts.

Ravens are also smart though, so I don't know if a buffalo can kill a raven. Raven...

Ice Bear (1:20:27)
That's true. You know what?

Corvids are insanely smart across the board.

Grizz (1:20:32)
Yeah, and

that's the only reason like if it's a Buffalo, it's a Cardinal Mike. Pupils taking it.

Ice Bear (1:20:37)
Okay,

remember they're lined up a football across from each other. So are the buffaloes gonna immediately stampede and crush them or is a Raven's reflex is fast enough to fly above first?

Grizz (1:20:47)
Let's

do this. Google how fast the buffalo is and Google how fast Raven is. Whoever, they win. I think that's the only fair way to take it.

Ice Bear (1:20:53)
And whoever's faster wins.

I'm

fine with that. I'm absolutely fine with that logic. All right. So we got Raven speed on the docket.

Ravens, average speed 25 miles per hour.

Grizz (1:21:14)
Okay? I'll film loud before.

Ice Bear (1:21:16)
Buffalo.

Speed.

man, I'm sorry buddy. Buffaloes, 45 miles per hour. So I think the buffaloes are gonna take that.

Grizz (1:21:28)
Yeah, Buffalo's take that. They'll recognize. All

right, I'm fine with that. All right, okay.

Ice Bear (1:21:34)
Also, a buffalo can run 45 fucking miles an hour. That's terrifying.

Grizz (1:21:39)
That is something more terrifying. While we're here real quick, Google how fast crocodiles can run or alligators can run. Yeah, Google gator just because it's Florida. gator. How fast are gators?

Ice Bear (1:21:46)
Okay. Okay. Which one?

Okay.

And as I'm doing this quick sidebar that you can now all be annoyed at with me. Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo is a grammatically correct English sentence. Enjoy that.

Grizz (1:22:13)
Where? Buffalo, buffalo, Huh, how?

Ice Bear (1:22:18)
It's something they teach in linguistics classes. So you can, you can like, if you want to get into it, look up the Wikipedia, but basically it's Buffalo, like the animal from the city of Buffalo, bully other Buffalo from the city of Buffalo.

Grizz (1:22:27)
Yeah, I got that.

so Buffalo is also a synonym for bully.

Ice Bear (1:22:34)
It's, it's,

it's, it's, yeah. So you can buffalo someone. So it's, it's like place, place thing, verb, place thing, verb, yeah.

Grizz (1:22:38)
Okay, so yeah, so about Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo this thing

Interesting I so I didn't know Buffalo was a surname for bullet Yes, so that makes sense Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo

Ice Bear (1:22:53)
Yep, so there's a Wikipedia page on it. Yeah, seven buffaloes in a row is a sentence. And it's one of the things that when like, when any anytime someone bullies someone for not knowing English, I'm like English is a really hard fucking language to learn.

Grizz (1:22:59)
next one.

really

is so roast another sidebar so it's no it's no secret that old Grizz was like you know like a a butcher me kind of thing it's what I like learned by trade when I was 18 19 20 so a butcher me kind of thing because I was like well he was like a Mexican Hispanic you know guy and she kind of small

and stature and me I'm you know same but also like six foot plus and like not a small fella and so I do have a large head which is why it's hard for me to find you know head accessories cranial accessories but he would actually call me and one time when we were talking shit to each other he was like shut the fuck up buffalo head and I was like I was like damn he got me because he's smaller than me

Ice Bear (1:23:59)
Hahaha!

Grizz (1:24:04)
And I have a big ass head compared to him and it stuck. that whole butcher team, all grizz was buffalo head.

Ice Bear (1:24:17)
it's going to be hard not to call you Buffalo Head now.

Grizz (1:24:24)
damn so buffaloes take that shit next next one my boys lost now we'll see about your boys cincinnati bangles cleveland browns what the fuck is a cleveland brown because it's not

Ice Bear (1:24:38)
Okay,

they're brown dogs and Bengals are working them. That's another one of the more embarrassing ones. Eleven Bengal tigers are going to absolutely wreck a bunch of brown dogs.

Grizz (1:24:43)
your bingo's taking a shit, okay. I was like, brown bears? don't know. Brown dog.

Hips up bangles, okay, easy.

Next.

Ice Bear (1:24:59)
are you documenting

this now? Good job. like this. Official bracket, the official bracket.

Grizz (1:25:03)
Yep.

this is actually a good one. Denver Broncos versus the ones that have never won a Super Bowl. Houston Texans.

Ice Bear (1:25:19)
Okay.

Grizz (1:25:20)
Broncos versus

fuck it because Texans are what they're bulls right the Longhorns

Ice Bear (1:25:25)
Yeah. Yeah.

Grizz (1:25:27)
Broncos vs. Longhorns. I think Longhorns take it.

Ice Bear (1:25:32)
The horns help a lot. The horns help a whole lot.

Grizz (1:25:35)
because they both have hooves,

but they also can impale.

You look at a bull, look at a bull take out a human, easy.

Ice Bear (1:25:41)
Okay,

you know Longhorns better than I do. Are they aggressive?

Grizz (1:25:49)
So actual longhorns, they can be but also like the actual longhorns are the big fucking things. A little slower than regular bulls. So.

Ice Bear (1:26:00)
The

reason I'm asking is because again, where this is on a football field and they're a foot apart because I can say with certainty Broncos are aggressive as fuck. And what will happen if they're mad, they'll turn around and they're going to fucking punt the head off of whatever's behind them. So do you think it's more likely that the Longhorn charges before the Bronco turns around and punts its head off?

Grizz (1:26:17)
Yeah.

Now if it's an actual like long corn, probably not. If it's like the long corn, like the mascot, like the logo, which is more like a, like a bull, like a regular bull, I think the bull will take the bronco. Cause, cause.

Ice Bear (1:26:37)
Okay, so

we're talking about the mascot, so I will defer to your knowledge of longhorns and I will say the Texan twin.

Grizz (1:26:45)
These bulls are also fast and they're fucking highly aggressive.

Ice Bear (1:26:49)
Okay, I'm saying take and swim then.

Grizz (1:26:52)
All right, so we go, we go with Tex, Texans.

Ice Bear (1:26:54)
Also,

18 episodes from now, let's get into the lore of the Denver airport.

Grizz (1:27:00)
that's actually a really good one.

Hell yeah. All right. Next one. Next horse Colts versus Jaguars.

Ice Bear (1:27:10)
Jaguars. I don't think that needs a whole lot of explanation.

Grizz (1:27:11)
What

Ice Bear (1:27:20)
Actually, hold on, quick sidebar. Quick sidebar, do we want to play the game where we're going with the origin of the mascot? Because the cults of Indianapolis were originally the Baltimore cults, and it was named for Cult 45 the Gun. So if we're talking about that...

Grizz (1:27:37)
14, 11 unmanned guns? They're just a gun.

Ice Bear (1:27:42)
You're right, it is unmanned.

Okay, once again, they win. All right, no changes.

Grizz (1:27:47)
So chiefs, Kansas City chiefs, Los Angeles raiders.

Ice Bear (1:27:49)
Ha!

Grizz (1:27:56)
Also, like, I will never get used to Los Angeles Raiders. It will always be Oakland to me. I can't change it. I genuinely can't.

Ice Bear (1:28:06)
Wait, did they move again?

Grizz (1:28:08)
Las Vegas Las Vegas right right yes, sorry sorry sorry

Ice Bear (1:28:11)
Okay, all right. I was like, damn, did they move to LA again?

Because they were, they were LA at 1.2.

Grizz (1:28:17)
Oakland, yeah, yeah,

yeah. But I always just think Oakland. It's always Oakland to me, but yeah, it's Las Vegas Raiders.

Ice Bear (1:28:24)
Okay, so this one I'm thinking, my gut tells me Raiders, because in my mind, the implication chief is an older person. So it's like a senior citizen versus a methed out motorcycle enthusiast.

Grizz (1:28:41)
I'm down with that. We'll go with that. I will go with that.

Ice Bear (1:28:47)
Sorry, Kansas City.

Two rough losses in a row this year. Lost the Bear Bowl and the Super Bowl to dem birds.

Grizz (1:28:53)
Yeah.

Yup. Alright, chargers versus dolphins. Los Angeles Charger. Okay, what the fuck is a charger? Is it just a lightning bolt? Is it literally just lightning like Mother Nature lightning?

Ice Bear (1:29:12)
Damn, yeah, are they gonna win just by being undefeatable? Wow, yeah, I think it's the Chargers. Hold on. Hold on. Let's look at their mascot because I'm not sure because their logo is definitely just a lightning bolt. Regardless of what it winds up being. Regardless of what charges wind up being, they're going to win this round because dolphins are going to die immediately on a football field.

Grizz (1:29:19)
But yeah, so Charly versus Dolphins.

Yeah, the logos lightning bolt. don't know.

Oh yeah, he's just out of water. Such hard to swim.

Ice Bear (1:29:46)
So

sorry, sorry Miami, you lose immediately.

Grizz (1:29:52)
So charters win. Miami, you don't have to sit sorry, then they're smoking cigars, you're fine.

Ice Bear (1:29:56)
Okay.

So the mascot is basically the furry equivalent of a lightning bolt. It's just an anthropomorphic lightning bolt.

Grizz (1:30:04)
Yes, so like soul so electricity

versus fucking yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, they're winning. All right

Ice Bear (1:30:13)
Oh wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait quick quick quick sidebar. It looks like one of their alternate mascots is like a. A horse.

Okay, more. Yeah, again, they're they're winning regardless, like chargers are moving on. But just so we know for the future rounds. It has also been portrayed as kind of like a horse with lightning bolt ears.

Grizz (1:30:25)
which will also win on land against a dolphin on the water.

Yeah, easy.

Interesting that's fucking weird. All right, cool. The next one the New England Mel Gibson's versus New York Jets

Ice Bear (1:30:50)
Okay, so this is another one where like, the jets are just unmanned vehicles. So yeah, the Mel Gibson's win because the jets are just going to sit there and be slowly dismantled because they're inanimate objects.

Grizz (1:30:56)
right the Patriots I think the Patriots take it the Mel Gibson's win

Ice Bear (1:31:09)
Sorry, Jets. God, rough, rough time to be a Jets fan.

Grizz (1:31:12)
It's true. It's been a rough time to be a judge of hand for what two decades anyways Pittsburgh Steelers versus the Tennessee Titans. So here's an interesting one. So what the fuck are both of those?

Ice Bear (1:31:23)
Okay, so Steelers are just steelworkers. So again, it's kind of like the equivalent of like the Cowboys just tough guys like, you blue collar dudes that work in a steel mill.

Grizz (1:31:30)
Yeah.

Bunch

of blue dog dudes. Yeah, I got it.

Ice Bear (1:31:36)
And then the Titans are literal Titans. sorry, sorry, Pittsburgh Titans have moved on. And this is not a this is not an interesting game. They just smush them immediately.

Grizz (1:31:39)
Tide joint.

How the fuck do they get tightness? That's this mark. They were smart cuz they knew this was gonna happen decades ago Yeah, the bear bowl The news gonna happen. So here we go. So now we have Actually, no, let's let's let's this quickly bills bangles

Ice Bear (1:31:52)
Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Grizz (1:32:12)
I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that Yep, I think Bengals take it. I think I agree with that. Ooh Bulls Texans or Jaguars

Ice Bear (1:32:13)
I'm taking my boys. I'm taking my bangies. Tigers are smart and fast.

Grizz (1:32:32)
So bowls or Jaguars?

Ice Bear (1:32:36)
Man, I wanna go cats again, cause they're a predator. Like I feel like a predator's always gonna beat a prey animal.

Grizz (1:32:42)
But is a bull a animal?

Ice Bear (1:32:43)
Yes. It's a savvy prey animal, but it's still a prey animal. You've eaten a steak. When's the last time you had a jaguar?

Grizz (1:32:53)
That's very true. have had a good amount of Bison's my favorite shit ever. So yeah, that's that's fair. Yeah. All right. I'm fine with that. Jax take it. All right, Jax take it. Next one. Raiders or chargers? I don't think a human can withstand fucking lightning.

Ice Bear (1:32:59)
Bison's delicious.

Yeah, the lightning wins again. This is really annoying because I don't want something as boring as lightning to win, but I feel like how do you defeat lightning?

Grizz (1:33:16)
Mother.

sure Mel Gibson's or fucking Titans

Ice Bear (1:33:31)
Titans are working the Bravehearts, I believe, right?

Grizz (1:33:33)
I'm

sorry, 776, think Titan's a win.

Ice Bear (1:33:36)
I can't think of a way where they would possibly win.

Grizz (1:33:40)
Damn it. All right Damn, I forgot about that. I didn't see this going this way. All right next one cat versus cat bangles versus Jaguars

Ice Bear (1:33:45)
Yeah.

Tigers are bigger, my Benguis move on.

Grizz (1:33:53)
I'm fine with that. I'm partial to the Tigers, so Bengals take it.

Ice Bear (1:33:57)
They're bigger and beautiful-er.

Grizz (1:34:00)
Yep. Chargers versus Titans. Now here's interesting. The elements versus fucking human gods.

Ice Bear (1:34:10)
But okay, we've yet again encountered. How would you possibly defeat lightning like the unless there was a team that was called like the ground or like something that doesn't conduct electricity. I think the Chargers win.

Grizz (1:34:34)
I think you're right. I genuinely do think you're right.

Ice Bear (1:34:37)
I'm annoyed by it, like I don't want them to win, but I feel like the Chargers win again.

Grizz (1:34:42)
I have to agree. All right, here we go. Bengies or chargers?

Ice Bear (1:34:49)
I, again, I don't want this to be the case. I'm very sad. The Bengals are my team. I, some, somewhere in the world, there is a picture of eight year old me in a Kajana Carter jersey. So for the one Cincinnati listener, think about that. Little, little ice bear in a Jeff Blake jersey. Little ice bear in a Carl Pickens jersey. That's how long I've been a Bengals fan. But my Bengals are getting worked by lightning.

Grizz (1:35:14)
Damn, that's something.

Was that your only jersey as a kid?

Ice Bear (1:35:18)
because a tiger is not electric proof.

Grizz (1:35:25)
So like pre-teen kit, what jerseys did you have? Real quick. Yeah, pre-teen.

Ice Bear (1:35:25)
No.

Preteen?

Preteen, the first jersey I ever got was a Kajanacardi jersey from my grandma.

Grizz (1:35:36)
Yeah, mine,

Troy Eggman. By, yeah, yeah, by, I did have a Smith. So Smith I got when I was like 11, 12. Because my mind you, my binder when I was in fucking seventh grade, eighth grade, no six, sixth, seventh grade. It was I had when Troy Aikman like there he was in the newspaper when he was like doing the fucking arms across.

Ice Bear (1:35:39)
Yeah, of course. Yeah, that makes sense for for them for them boys that would be mandatory. Did you have an Emmet one?

Grizz (1:36:06)
kinda thing he said when he set his record. granted they let him fucking just run it, because he was setting the record, yes I understand that. But it was a fucking big thing. I had that specific picture that was going across the things on the cover of my binder as a sixth, seventh grade edgy ass fucking metalhead goth kid. I still had a fucking, I still had my boy there, fucking Emmet Smith there celebrating.

Ice Bear (1:36:34)
There you go.

Grizz (1:36:34)
Because

you couldn't you couldn't go past that yeah, so Evan Smith was my main Jersey outside of that was a fucking David Robinson Spurs Jersey when I was under 13

Ice Bear (1:36:47)
So I can very quickly as a sidebar, and I'm curious what yours are too. And also I'm curious what everyone else that's listening to this, I would love to see in comments what yours were. I haven't owned very many jerseys throughout my life. So what I did when I was a teenager, I started switching to my own name for the teams that I liked. So I have a lot of things with my name on them now.

Grizz (1:37:08)
I know

exactly where you're go with this, so say this, I gotta run to the side real quick for a fucking bathroom break, because these three beers are going through me. So talk to them, and when I come back, I will tell mine.

Ice Bear (1:37:18)
Okay, you take your break. I'm going to tell the people what my jerseys are. Yeah. Perfect.

Okay. So over the years, I have had a Kajana Carter jersey from my beloved Cincinnati Bengals. I've had Jeff Blake. I then graduated to call Carson Palmer. And I also had Chad Johnson. I thought about getting an Ocho Cinko one, but I never did it.

basketball. had a LeBron James Team USA jersey. I had a LeBron James Cavs jersey.

I had a Karl Malone Lakers jersey shout out mailman. Come alone like what a a gym underappreciated. I had a Carey Price Jersey.

And I've never owned a baseball jersey. But now at this point, so at this point in life, I've now switched to where I got so annoyed with players being traded for utter nonsense that now I just take the teams I like. And if I get a jersey, I get my own name on the back and I do like 88 for the number. So I have Hab stuff. I have Laker stuff. I have Bengal stuff. I have red stuff. And yeah.

that pretty much something that was really good timing because that that I got to take people through every jersey I've ever owned it's not a long list but it wound up with me saying that I've now since switch to I just do my own name and I alternate between doing either my birth year for the for the number on the back or my birthday so those are the two numbers I like to have on stuff at this point but I'm always much more excited about that because even if you know like

So if my favorite player gets traded, which this year is a rough topic, I'm still okay. I know.

Grizz (1:39:13)
I almost got you so so the only reason

why so straight up the only reason why you guys like call was because of the tiger straight up because one so I saw

Ice Bear (1:39:26)
Ha ha ha!

Grizz (1:39:38)
Boozy Jerky, not a sponsor, but it's jerky that's, this is a Spicy Citrus Ipah Beef Jerky.

Ice Bear (1:39:48)
Boozy Jerky, you could be a sponsor. We'd eat ya.

Grizz (1:39:50)
You should be a sponsor.

Delicious shit. Anyways.

So again, I saw look we got traded through the tiger story because one of her because people that don't know She lives in the greater LA area one of her finances posted and I saw Luca in a fucking Spurs first sorry a fucking Lakers Jersey. Sorry, I fucking Lakers Jersey and and he said welcome home and I was so fucking offended by this

that I was like, I saw it from the corner of my eye because we were both laying in bed when it happened and I was like, go back, go back, go back and I saw it. I was so pissed off about this shit, I started Googling and that's when I found out, that's when I texted you about it and I sent you the shit and you're like, you know, fucking what? Or I knew you were sleeping. But when you woke up, you're like, you know, fucking what? I didn't believe it. I still don't believe it. Anyways, next day we go to the outlet malls here.

Ice Bear (1:40:55)
Mm-mm.

Grizz (1:40:57)
in the greater DFW area. And we go buy the sports shop. I found out about it like one, two in the morning. We're in the sports shop 12 hours later, two, three p.m. I go into the sports shop and I see fucking just Luca jerseys discounted. And I'm like, talking about home jerseys, a wager, all the Luca jerseys are just discounted. While during the last fucking playoffs, I was like,

You know what? I'm gonna buy me and my best bro fucking matching jerseys. I especially need a Luka jersey. I'm gonna get my favorite fucking flat earther jersey, Kyrie. It's gonna be fucking great. I'm so fucking stoked about this shit. It's gonna be fucking awesome. So I've been planning this since then. Luka gets traded and I'm like, you motherfucker. I was planning this for his fucking birthday and you ruined it. Anyways, that happening.

I'm like, you know what? This is the only time I'm gonna be able to get a fucking Mavericks Luka jersey now that he's fucking leaving because of shitty ass fucking Nico. so I was like, I'm gonna, yeah. So I was like, fucking get it, I'm gonna get it. And then the tiger was like, I don't know if you should. I don't think, I don't think Isor is gonna be emotionally ready for that because he's gonna be devastated. And I'm like, fuck that, it's Luka.

Ice Bear (1:42:09)
Fire Nico.

Grizz (1:42:25)
I don't care what team he is, it's a look good Dallas Jersey, I'm getting it. It's just like, no, you should talk to him first. So I called Lightspear about it, tried multiple avenues and finally he's like, I don't think I can, I'm not emotionally ready. I'm like, damn. I was like, damn, she knows my best friend better than me. Damn. So fine, so I didn't get it at that time. I got set. But I was gonna get that jersey.

Ice Bear (1:42:37)
I wasn't, man.

That's a great hat.

Grizz (1:42:54)
and it still bothers me.

Ice Bear (1:42:58)
Mm-hmm.

All right. Do you want do you want to get back into the old AFC showdown or do you want to tell them about jerseys you've had?

Grizz (1:43:07)
So jerseys I've had I've never had custom jerseys just never had it I just have my favorite players is the way I feel like I just love the player So even if they leave the team, I'm still gonna fucking rock them First jersey ever in my life. I was a little kid. I had a fucking Akeman Jersey anybody that's in the area at the time of those in Texas Akeman is a fucking shit. So Akeman was my dude

Had him when I was like in elementary school my jersey after that was David Robertson Jersey. I was Born and raised, Antonio. You can't Can't can't miss it after that. I had a dunkin jersey couldn't miss it now after that I got disowned by my father because in my like 11 10 years old I fucking fell in love with new in ski so That became my dude

Ice Bear (1:43:42)
Shout out Admiral.

Grizz (1:44:01)
Avery Johnson betrayed the San Antonio, went to the Dallas Mavericks as a coach, insulted the fucking Riverwalk and Avery San Antonio and hated him after that. So.

The fact that I fucking loved a Maverick more than the Spurs, my dad told me, you know, he barely accepted it, but I wasn't allowed to have a Newinsky jersey. So my last NBA jersey was a fucking, was a Duncan jersey. And that was fine. After that, my last main jersey, I would probably have to say is my all time favorite football player. Although he lost.

Dallas and he went to he went to the Browns I believe was Marion Barber I Was he was actually one of the first like famous people that I was actually sad about dying when he died a few years ago He died not too far away from where I work, which is fucking sad, but Marion Barber rest in peace He was my all-time favorite football player He's probably my all-time favorite athlete. The dude was just a fucking legend

Yeah, so my last jersey was a retro Marion Barber Dallas Cowboys jersey. I got it from my first real football game that I can remember. It was like a fucking Turkey Bowl game. I think like 2012. It was a shit. So Marion Barber, rest in peace.

Ice Bear (1:45:33)
RIP Marion.

Grizz (1:45:34)
So going back we are at the end now are ready for this? We are Bears Against Nature

Ice Bear (1:45:41)
I'm ready.

Ugh.

Grizz (1:45:46)
The Bears versus the Lightning Ball Chargers.

Ice Bear (1:45:51)
I want to find a way to mental gymnastics this so that the Bears win. But I'm having a real tough time, man. I think the Chargers do it.

Grizz (1:45:55)
The bare blubber is an insult. The charger's...

actually Google, Google, you're the, can a bear survive? First Google, can a grizzly bear survive a lightning bolt shock? And then after that, can a polar bear survive a lightning bolt shock?

Ice Bear (1:46:33)
Okay.

There's not a lot of answers when it comes to can a grizzly bear survive a lightning bolt shock Alright hear me out Hear me out. There have been people that have survived multiple lightning strikes. I Feel like it's fair to assume a bear is tougher than a standard person Double hear me out. We did not say where this football game is being played. What if it's in a stadium?

What if there's a roof? What if the lightning can't even make it to the field?

What if it has to forfeit because it can't enter the stadium?

Ha ha ha!

Grizz (1:47:33)
Okay, so as much as I would love that I don't think we can actually say that because we use them for other things so

Ice Bear (1:47:40)
Alright, chargers win. Fucking chargers.

Grizz (1:47:42)
But no, I do think it's valid to say that if people survive lighting bolts...

Ice Bear (1:47:49)
you

Grizz (1:47:53)
And people sort of...

Ice Bear (1:47:53)
But

the question remains, how do you beat lightning?

Grizz (1:48:00)
But I don't think, so, okay, there's 11 players. I was talking about there are just 11 different surgical.

Ice Bear (1:48:07)
So it's

11 lightning strikes and that it's one strike and it's done. Like the strike is the occurrence of it, its existence. So we're saying if any of the bears can survive any of the lightning strikes, so statistically speaking, if a person can survive seven, a bear should be able to survive seven.

Grizz (1:48:16)
It has to be, right?

survive, they win.

One,

at least.

Ice Bear (1:48:37)
So the bears whipped.

Grizz (1:48:40)
I think that's the only logical answer. The bears have so much different. Okay, you can argue whatever you want. The bears have a layer of insulation, a blubber. They're winning. I don't see how it's not.

Ice Bear (1:48:41)
I the Bears win. I think the Bears won. I think the Bears won.

I liked it. We didn't take the time to apply this to any of the other things that the lightning beat. But you know what? If you want to argue, just do it in the comments. Go ahead and argue with us. Bears win. That's my vote. Bears win. Bears have won the NFL mascot bowl. Bear bowl victors for the NFL. Them Chicago Bears.

Grizz (1:49:25)
I

If anything, if anything is called the bear bowl, not because of us, but because the Bears are the winners. Have you ever seen, have you ever seen fucking big daddy? Do remember the card game that they played with Frankenstein and the delivery guy, the game I win?

Ice Bear (1:49:30)
Duh bears.

Bear's the one. Bearble. The bears.

I sure don't, but I'm going to pretend that I do for the sake of this bit.

Grizz (1:49:52)
Wait,

what you've never seen Big Daddy?

Ice Bear (1:49:57)
seen it but it was a long time ago and I don't remember it at all.

Grizz (1:49:58)
Okay, so

I'm big daddy. You're playing a card game and it's a little boy Frankenstein He's playing with Rob Schneider the fucking delivery guy, you know, the lamb and tuna fish guy You're playing a card game. They have cards and he's like I got a I don't know what the fuck Yes, like a royal flush or a full house or whatever the fuck a good hand He's like I have this and he's like I have a two or three Seven a king or whatever a grandam shit. He's like I win he's like

You mean I win? He's like, why do you win? He's like, I win the game's called I win. So I win. And he just like rages. Same shit.

Ice Bear (1:50:36)
Bears win. Bears win.

Grizz (1:50:38)
I don't... Bears win.

It's the bears. The bears win. You know, you can say whatever you want. Go find a bear and then you can talk to me later. Bears win.

Ice Bear (1:50:43)
Bow bears.

Yeah, bears win. All right. That's it. That's just the way it works out. Bears win. Final rating on this one. All right. So we got a, the, the broken sled, this gingerbread lad. This is a B plus very tasty. I would have it again. Collective arts.

Grizz (1:50:54)
That's a perfect stop point. Yup, best one.

Ice Bear (1:51:16)
It was good. It was good. I had two good beers today. Like I would, I don't think I would ever seek any of them out again, but I really enjoyed them and I would happily, you know, if they were on tap at a bar, I'd be thrilled.

Grizz (1:51:32)
That's good. For me, I think I'm pretty similar, honestly. Crash Pad from Real Ale. B plus. Solid beer. If you like fruity stuff, this is going to be great for you. I would say more hazy. It's just more hazy than Imperial. Super good. Not super boozy. If you like fruity beers, you'll love this. I liked it. Very tropical notes.

B plus This triple star that will be this one ring is a minus at least No a minus it is a minus. It's not quite nay Definitely better than a B plus I definitely enjoyed this one more than this one It's a it's an a minus triple stars from celestial I can knock that out of the park anybody that likes any type of hazy

Ice Bear (1:52:10)
Thanks.

Grizz (1:52:32)
IPA is gonna absolutely love that one. It's hard to justify anything outside of it. I think it wants

Ice Bear (1:52:39)
All right. Well, hey, thanks for joining us again. We appreciate it immensely. We meant to keep this one a little bit shorter. We failed, but I feel like this one was more on the rails. We just had a lot to talk about.

Grizz (1:52:47)
Yeah.

That's actually very fair. Yeah, that was definitely a thing. I last one was about the same amount of time, but I think it was more rambling than actually anything. I think we had a lot of substance this time.

But I do think it was fair. I think it's going across the Bear Bowl worth the hour.

Ice Bear (1:53:10)
Yep.

If this was something that you would like to see done again, I would be happy to do this with every league. But if you hated it, let us know that too. Just let us know your thoughts.

Grizz (1:53:24)
Here's the thing, also NBA is good because I kind of know that thing. I think Joe is good because I know that as well. I know shit, well not I think Joe.

Ice Bear (1:53:36)
MLB, baseball.

Grizz (1:53:36)
MLB, because

I know that shit. NHL? don't know shit about. Only you do.

Ice Bear (1:53:43)
well i could i could walk you through it i'll hold your hand the canadian audience will love it

Grizz (1:53:48)
So it'll be great because it'll be completely unbiased because I don't have shit. Granted, Texas supremacy. So I am partial to the stars even though I've never seen shit from them. But then again, like stars, don't know how stars would raise against anything. Stars are in the sky, they can't fuck.

Ice Bear (1:54:01)
Stars are a good team,

They're not gonna

do well in they're not gonna do well in Bear Bowl NHL Edition, but they're good team in real life. All right. Play the outro?

Grizz (1:54:10)
Yeah, yeah, so we'll do that

Ice Bear (1:54:22)
Two bears, two bears, da-da-da-da-da.

Grizz (1:54:22)
dog dog.
