EP 35 | Rise of The Bearhawks

Grizz (00:34)
That aroma, that aroma just wafted in as soon as I did a correct.

Ice Bear (00:42)
Speaking of aromas, I can't remember if I told you, at the old birthday festivities I had a smoked old fashioned. And my god is that such a good smell.

Grizz (00:53)
You know, when I first saw this up for like this, like the smoke old-fashioned and just the smoked cocktails in general, I was always like, I mean, it's a show that's cool, I guess. But I was like, kind of like whatever about it until I had one. And I was like, Oh my Atlanta, that was phenomenal.

Ice Bear (01:05)
Mm-hmm. Mm. Yeah. They are life-changing.

They're very good. Especially, there's something about if you sip them and you really let it kind of linger, by the time you get to that very last sip, it's kind of all puddled itself down to the bottom of the glass. Just delightful. Just delightful.

Grizz (01:33)
Look at this delightful color.

Ice Bear (01:35)
Well, I want to show you the color of mine. But first I have to apologize because I believe, I'm not sure, I believe I've had this one on the podcast before, which of course, we'll tell them why I might have to do some re-do's here. But as an apology, I do have a new vessel. A vessel fitting of 2B2B. This is Bearbeer.

Grizz (01:46)
Hmm? Hmm?

⁓ my that is amazing.

Ice Bear (02:08)
Bear Bear's here to stay.

Grizz (02:10)
Now that is, man, that is freaking magnificent. Absolutely magnificent.

Ice Bear (02:16)
⁓

There is an additional part to him that I will add on later that makes it a little bit just the piece de resistance. And I think you'll especially enjoy it.

Grizz (02:32)
Damn.

Ice Bear (02:34)
So

what are you consuming over there?

Grizz (02:38)
All right. All right. We're going to do this. Let's do this. All right. Like I think we get this up. We're getting a set up. OK. I just set it up. I just want to.

Ice Bear (02:50)
This seems advanced. Is this John

Cena? Is this a John Cena beer? Is this gonna be... You can't see the beer. It is the John Cena beer. What beer?

Grizz (02:58)
No.

Now this right here,

I was setting up something else for the future, but this right here, beautiful color, beautiful color, know, thick and bold. And you know what? You know, what's bold, you know, what's bold and what's awesome.

Ice Bear (03:09)
That is very nice color. Thick and bold, boys.

Grizz (03:19)
from coming in from Matchless Brewery, home of the Meowsa. This double EPA is called the Big Boy.

Ice Bear (03:24)
Meowza.

I love this. That's very good.

Grizz (03:30)
This is the big,

the big boy double EPA.

Ice Bear (03:34)
Now, is this a collab? Does big boys still exist?

Grizz (03:39)
I don't think so. mean, heck, it's just awesome powers. It definitely does exist.

Ice Bear (03:45)
I

know it's real, I mean, like, do they still have... Is it a defunct business? Has it gone the way of the dodo? Or can you still find a big boy?

Grizz (03:47)
No

I don't know. remember that. I remember there was something that popped in like

in San Antonio that was like it. don't know if it was big boy or like Bubba's or like fat kid or something weird. It was popping up on I like after I moved, but it reminded me of the thing from, from Boston powers. So maybe

Ice Bear (04:04)
I love-

I love that there is potentially something out there just stealing big boy but called fat kid. That makes me very happy. They're just like, nah, this is just a fat kid.

Grizz (04:18)
You

Close enough. This right here is got going back to this big war double leaper hops is Citra. Beautiful Sabro and Vic secret. We don't know where the secret is yet, but we'll find out grain Pilsner flaked out descriptors ready for this twice as big twice as good brood and package and the whole come water Washington.

Ice Bear (04:38)
you

Damn.

Grizz (04:51)
Part of the good old US of a still cold drink, fresh, nice hefty 8.0%.

Ice Bear (05:02)
Damn. Well, you're, that is a big boy. And that, that big boy is emasculating my beverage over here. But taste-wise, I'm not, I'm not sad at all because this is from our old friends, our old faithful flying monkeys. They're at it again. This time they're doing algorithm, wow. Algorithmic runs of toasty malt sweetness, back acoustic flares of lemony laurel.

Grizz (05:19)
Bam,

Ice Bear (05:33)
and floor. I know I I was like, wait, this is binary. This is very good. I was trying to figure out. Lemony, laurel and floral. Holler tour hops. What is a holler tour hop? I don't know that one. In a shimmering. Now I'm wondering if I have ever had this. This might be new to the podcast because I don't remember reading that word before.

Grizz (05:33)
I'm doing ad-libs for you. Sorry. I was trying to hype you up.

Yeah.

I ain't never heard of that one.

Ice Bear (05:56)
in a shimmering body of merry gold light because your brain is already 85 % song lyrics. This is raving loop computer music.

Grizz (06:15)
Dun dun dun dun dun.

Ice Bear (06:17)
Anyway, this

is an amber lager. It's a little bitch boy. It's a 4.3 %

Grizz (06:21)
I know they're wrong.

Ice Bear (06:23)
But taste-wise, scrumdiddlyumptious, as you can tell by it already being in Mr. Bear's belly.

Grizz (06:27)
There you go.

one just decapitated the boy.

Ice Bear (06:33)
Mm-hmm.

Clean off.

That is the Grizzlies roar and that was majestic. So, so again, in case I have had this before, the reason that I need to apologize to our adoring listeners in Thailand, ⁓ I didn't have beers prepared this week until just today. And as of, as of recording, we are in, we are in snow apocalypse again. We have had many footsies of snow. So driving was out of the question.

Grizz (06:41)
Hahaha

Nope. Yep. And why?

Ice Bear (07:08)
So I had to walk uphill both ways, 15 miles, more like half a mile to our general store that does have beer. And I was able to collect these. And I was very grateful for that.

Grizz (07:14)
dedication.

the dedication that the the track this quest shall go into.

the records of the podcast. It's absolutely amazing.

Ice Bear (07:34)
Yeah, we weren't we're not gonna cancel a week because of a little blizzard. No, no, no, no, we're gonna walk uphill both ways.

Grizz (07:43)
Now when I say, now when I say this is amazing, look at this quest. Look at this quest. Look at this quest.

Ice Bear (07:50)
shit, this is what you're queuing up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hahaha!

Grizz (08:02)
Now

that was phenomenal. I do declare phenomenal.

Ice Bear (08:08)
It's so funny because people were shoveling because like that sidewalk was like when I was leaving, it was clear. And so it's just in the span of 15 minutes had that like boot height snow. It's just been. Nonsense. 23 inches an hour.

Grizz (08:24)
Yeah, it's not, it's, you know, being an old PM dub is not even anything really. Cause like right now it was 28 degrees and we were like, it was cold. And I was just, you know, it's not that bad. It's got pretty comfy. I had to just in my old toasty, my old toasty car heart jacket and that's about it. And I'm good.

Ice Bear (08:35)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah, we, we had a day two days ago. It was our coldest day of year so far was negative 30 something when I woke up. And like negative negative 17. Yeah. ⁓ So the thing is, when it gets that cold, it's kind of a double edged sword because one, it's awful. But

Grizz (08:56)
wasn't freedom like one or zero?

Ice Bear (09:14)
you do numb very quickly, like you're very quickly numb so it doesn't feel cold, you're just like, alright, I feel nothing now. But your eyelids will sometimes freeze, like my mustache will freeze to my beard, which is annoying. But then on a day like today, where it's just negative one freedom units, or no, was more like negative six freedom units, it feels fine.

Like it's, you're like, all right, it's way better than yesterday. And you just get used to it. Yeah.

Grizz (09:47)
Yeah, when it goes to comparative, right? Like it's like,

know, like when not everybody does in this, I'll be able to say those don't work and I can see that. But like also it kind of does is that when like you're about to do a squat and you're about to like do something like heavy, heavy, you just walk out with something that's like stupid, heavy, like you're about to squat five place for the first time. But you like do a walk out with like six plates and you just walk it out and you just feel it on your back and then you put it back in. So when you go do the five plates, it's just like.

Ice Bear (10:00)
Mm-hmm.

Yep. Yep. No, dude.

For squats, I fully believe in that. Same thing with bench even, just like, un-rack something unreasonably heavy. That'll help you get through a set for sure. Because I've done things where I've worked up to say like 225, and then 225 feels pretty rough. I'll hit it for a triple or something. And then as I back down, that 205 that was not easy the first time feels light as fuck after you've done that two plates.

Grizz (10:26)
yeah.

Mm.

Yeah.

Ice Bear (10:44)
So there's something to

it. There's something to it for sure. ⁓ And to be clear, this was not a like negative five isn't cold because I distinctly also remember when I lived in Hawaii, air conditioned rooms got cold by the time I left. So it's just like the human body will acclimate to whatever. If you put yourself in a situation long enough, you'll get used to anything.

Grizz (11:06)
Yeah.

Yeah, it's definitely interesting. I was like, Seattle has been

weird in the sense that nothing has gotten nowhere near as cold as Dallas did ever probably like you know last year or two years ago like in Dallas winter we hit zero right

Ice Bear (11:24)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (11:35)
Today's been the coldest day and it was 28.

And then typically it's like in the forties, but what does kind of suck those. And it's just been fairly dry. Like the last week and a half, but what does suck those, like when you're like 40, 38 to 41, and it's just drizzling the entire time until like everything's a little damp. And so like, kind of like everything's jamming. There's a little bit of wind and there's like 38 degrees and you're like, I started feeling the shit of my bones after a little bit.

Ice Bear (11:41)
Yep. How's that moisture?

Yeah.

Dude,

to me that is the worst possible thing. Slightly above freezing and wet, there's nothing worse than that. Give me way into the negatives and snow any day over that bullshit.

Grizz (12:20)
Yeah. Cause I was like, I was walking, was walking to work one day and I was like, man. just it doesn't help to like, I just have this like fucking rain defender jacket. That's like a, I just throw on and it's like, there's no padding coat. All it's just a raincoat. And so I'm like walking to work in it like a t-shirt on her. like, kind of fucked up today. I should have probably wore a sweater.

Ice Bear (12:43)
Yeah, don't goofed. ⁓

absolutely brutal.

Wow.

Grizz (12:54)
This is a good beer.

Fucking matchless. I don't think I've had like duds from Manchester necessarily. But when they hit, they fucking hit like meows. I still talk to these to about to this day. I genuinely love that beer. This one is fucking is not as

Ice Bear (13:08)
You do you love me also. Yeah, I think you lowballed it because

I don't think you rated it highly enough at the time.

Grizz (13:18)
Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I did either because the fact that it has this much staying power that I constantly like think about it. Yeah. That's, that's one up for fucking.

Ice Bear (13:25)
Yeah.

I was this close to getting another paranormal for this. I was like, I know I've had that 500 times in the past.

Grizz (13:37)
Ha ha ha

ha ha.

Yeah, but this this I think so far this is probably the best matchless beer that I've had since me as a problem, but probably I mean, I may have been too drunk to remember the other ones but like I do love the can.

Ice Bear (13:50)
Nice. It's a great can.

It's fun art.

Grizz (13:59)
I love fun art.

Ice Bear (14:02)
Yeah, it's it's it makes me so irrationally mad at like Budweiser or just something that's a boring like color font. That's it. Have some fucking fun guys.

Grizz (14:14)
Yeah.

You know, the ones that will always get a pass to me though, because of like supremacy. And I love it. Moose head. Moose head looks regal to be fair. Green bottle gold ass moose. That's it's pretty regal. Yeah, gotta give them that. They got pretty good branding for, you know, for a national one. Got my dad tricked to think it was fucking the good stuff, you know.

Ice Bear (14:22)
Moose head.

Grizz (14:42)
But these guys right here, this boy right here will always get the best.

Ice Bear (14:48)
⁓

yeah, that's fair. Ye olde Scheinerbach. Now, can you find that up there? Did that journey with you and you're saving it?

Grizz (14:57)
And so ⁓

Well, a friend of mine ⁓ now know what was cool was these are buyer for like for like, like he's like the beer buyer, right. And so he's like, brought up a case of China buck for you. And I'll be here and I'm like, my fucking guy, my fucking guy. And then after that, like I

Ice Bear (15:06)
Omni brought it up from Tex.

Mm-hmm.

What a- What a nice guy.

Grizz (15:30)
I got, bought half the case and then, ⁓ my buddy that came up with me from Texas, he, got the other, and then I went back and locked in and he, he brought another case in. So I was like, shit, I don't mind if I do just, ⁓ when it comes to like the normal beers, I'll always have a soft spot for China. Fuck. That's like, that's my beer from high school and on those. I was this close.

Ice Bear (15:37)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Grizz (15:59)
I almost had that rampage. I was like, not 20.

Ice Bear (16:02)
⁓ man,

can see it. That's fair. Cause that's one of the, yeah, that's fair. Whatever your gateway one is, I can see that having some nostalgia.

Grizz (16:08)
I, I'm still, I'm still like, yeah, I'm,

I'm, I'm still like, I'm close. I'm still close to getting it. I haven't, it's not completely rolled out. only way it's rolled out is the tiger like super hard vetoes it, but you know, but like, ⁓ I'm close. Like my uncle has a fucking schlitz maul liquor bull tattoo.

Ice Bear (16:24)
Yeah. ⁓

What a worthwhile... You know what? If you have... If the person getting it likes it, awesome.

Grizz (16:39)
Let's be

Yeah, because it's also like my great grandfather, that's all he drank was so small liquor. so like, my like, and like my, great grandfather, my great grandmother were like the patriarch and matriarch of the family. Right until like they were because like my uncle's father, like they weren't necessarily around right. And so like, the grandfather became like the father role like the the male role model.

Ice Bear (16:49)
Wild.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (17:12)
And so that wasn't my role model. like the tattoo is like, that's all he drank. was like the fucking sluts, small liquor kind of stuff. And so like, that's kind of like, it was a match to him, which is funny because it's beer, right? As we say on a beer podcast, but yeah, that was kind of like one of the. His thing. he has a, he has a big, I'm talking about like full bicep, just sluts, malt liquor bowl.

Ice Bear (17:34)
Damn.

Damn.

Yeah. What's the best mainstream logo out there?

Grizz (17:51)
Honestly, that's what local bulls fucking tough. I can't say it's not tough.

Ice Bear (17:56)
I need to hold on. I need to pull this up because I feel like I'm misremembering it.

Grizz (18:00)
He's, he is a steed. He is, he is a strapping young bull ready, ready for attack.

Ice Bear (18:09)
give this gander pulling it up investigating investigating which yeah no this yeah that is a that is a good boy that's a that's a good boy

Grizz (18:16)
Yes, let's not

It's a good bull. Like he.

Yeah, it's a strong ass boy. You know what I mean? Like muscle definition, everything.

Ice Bear (18:31)
It's

only 5.9?

Grizz (18:34)
insane.

Ice Bear (18:37)
It's only 5.9?

Grizz (18:41)
But I guess you compare it to like Bud Light Budweiser, right? Like that's the fucking strong.

Ice Bear (18:47)
Yeah, but like, that's wild. I had no idea.

Grizz (18:50)
What the fuck is Mickey's? Cause

I remember plenty of times being underage, getting drunk as fuck on Mickey forties.

Ice Bear (18:58)
Let's find out. Let's investigate.

I feel like they're like 10. No way.

5.6?

Grizz (19:11)
Because I always liked the little Mickey's green hornet looking thing that he had That's insane. I remember those things being so fucking strong

Ice Bear (19:16)
Heh.

5.6

What's the what's hold on? What's the other one? What's OE? What do think OE is?

Grizz (19:27)
This is blog.

Always fucking trash always probably fucking like four point four point eight. No four point six

Ice Bear (19:42)
Okay, so OE. This is interesting. So it varies by region. In the US, it's 5.9. Yeah, however, commonly, in Europe and Asia, OE is 7. Yeah, 7.5 to eight and labeled HG or high gravity.

Grizz (19:54)
OE is 5.9

OEs in Europe and Asia?

I think I'm more surprised that they're always in Europe and Asia.

Ice Bear (20:19)
Hold on. Hold on. I might be, I was reading the AI overview, so that might all be misinformation.

Grizz (20:25)
Ain't no

fucking way. You're me all English is in fucking Europe and Asia?

Ice Bear (20:31)
I'm for a picture of a bottle. It definitely, they had them in Korea for sure, like at convenience stores.

Grizz (20:34)
Ain't no-

O-E? What the fuck?

Ice Bear (20:39)
⁓

Yeah, boy. That right next to the right next to the strong. Which, by the way, is like dangerous. That's that's the wild.

Grizz (20:45)
Damn.

Are

you telling me we got we got fucking, Hongdae guys doing fucking Edward 40 hands?

Excuse me. Excuse me. Just forget, just do it.

Ice Bear (21:05)
I don't know.

Grizz (21:13)
You

Ice Bear (21:14)
Oh, that would be amazing. That would be too good. All right, let me zoom in on this picture. Zoom in on this picture and see if we got an ABV written on it. There's no ABV on this. Now, in fairness, like a 40 has no, yeah, it's 5.9 to 8%.

Grizz (21:23)
fuck.

Ice Bear (21:39)
Okay, now this is extra interesting. As of, okay, so this is, I'm using Wikipedia now, so take this with a grain of salt. But it seems legit. As of 2010, OE regionally had different ABV. East Coast to Midwest had the 5.9. Texas had 3.2. Just Texas.

Grizz (21:39)
I am.

Yeah.

Okay. So I was like, because I was like, he's fucking weak trash. So like, so that makes sense that I thought

Ice Bear (22:09)
West West Coast 7.5

Pacific Northwest HG 8 % the European Union 6.1 Canada 8 % Asia 8 %

Grizz (22:28)
fucking crazy that they get that much different in BBs. That's interesting because that makes sense why I thought fucking OE was just like piss water trash. It wasn't worth fucking nothing.

Ice Bear (22:38)
Yes, it does.

That does make sense. You know, the other thing is that kind of does make sense for Asia, because if you think about it, a 40 would be really good for King's Game. And you could like pour it into the little small, like, you know, those two, three ounce kind of like glasses and just pour it for everyone. So you would want it to be a little stronger because you're you're probably comparing it to like ⁓ a soju or something.

Grizz (22:51)
Mmm. Yeah. Yeah, I need.

That's fair. That's fair. Damn. That is so interesting. Also, I love I love drinking out those tiny little fucking Asian beer glasses. Like, like when I go when I go to like a Izakaya and I got like a fucking Orion and I don't get the small glass. I'm like, this is some bullshit. Give me a regular glass. I'm like

Ice Bear (23:10)
This is very interesting.

to.

Yep. Yep. Yep.

Well, one of the best things about doing like a KBBQ is just someone getting a picture of height or Cass and and he'd say, what are you saying white man? ⁓ I'm sorry. just I tried to do the vowels right. Yeah, it was very good.

Grizz (23:36)
He dead.

I like how he said it in like a Japanese thing too.

he's like wrong, wrong one guy. got double fucked up.

Ice Bear (23:53)
Ha ha ha.

Grizz (23:57)
You

Ice Bear (24:04)
⁓ shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing.

Grizz (24:08)
To be fair though,

like I would have read height of heat that too. Does he didn't get Romanji's and like the short ease and that long. He's like, yeah, you, you know, cause I is long.

Ice Bear (24:16)
Yep.

I just didn't, I just didn't know what it going to be for ounce like an English word. It's weird.

Grizz (24:23)
and E is short.

It's very weird. It's as stupid as like some of the weird English things.

Ice Bear (24:30)
But.

In fairness, though, it does make sense because a lot of the branding there is like if it's written with English letters, like it's it's like the English vibe, you know, it's it's the same thing. We're like here stuff that will have random like Chinese or Japanese or Korean on it just because it like it looks cool because people don't know what it means. It does it. Absolutely. does. 100 percent.

Grizz (24:43)
Just pronounce English.

It does look cool though. The characters are

super cool. So that's one of the things like when you see like in like hipster Asian shops and stuff or things and it's like English shit and like, this doesn't look as cool at all, bro. Like it doesn't look as cool at all. You telling me fucking times you Roman is the fucking like that's just fucking get that. That's fucking hitting all your cool factors. Ain't no way. Ain't no way.

Ice Bear (25:17)
I

absolutely love that you can go to like street vendors in the middle of the most small little part of Dalang Day Moon and they will have a sweater just covered in it a one random English word. It's just like umbrella popsicle. And you're like, okay, yep, that's the brand, huh? Umbrella popsicle. I love it. But if that's what's cool, that's what's cool.

Grizz (25:44)
with me.

You're not.

This is kind of cool. I don't know.

Ice Bear (25:53)
I'm trying

to remember what my one sweater had on it. It was something really weird. was like super...

super, some sort of food, super watermelon, maybe. But like, just the minute I saw it, was like, why is this a thing? But good for good for them. Good for them being this big a fan of it. ⁓ By the way, raving loops, computer music.

Grizz (26:16)
Ha ha ha ha.

Ice Bear (26:27)
Flying monkeys has done it again. Solid A minus. If it was stronger, it would be in contention for AA plus. It's a great beer.

Grizz (26:39)
So.

⁓ God damn.

Ice Bear (26:47)
down.

Grizz (26:48)
Okay,

so I got curious. Actually, I'll go for this ⁓ big boy, right? As says, we all need a big boy. This right here is a name. This right here is a in a minus right here.

Ice Bear (27:04)
Hell yeah, big boy. Double

A minus to start it off. It's a good start to the week.

Grizz (27:09)
Yeah. You know, we all needed a big boy. It's something about C's cuffing seasons and all that. Anyways, when I was looking at, because, you know, we started looking at OE and Mickey's and all this stuff, I was thinking like, you know what? What's, what's the fucking devil? The old mad dog, old mad dog, 2020. So I got curious. I got curious, right. And I was like, I got curious about this. And I was like thinking, what's old mad dog at?

Ice Bear (27:29)
⁓

What is old mad dog? Mad dog is 13. That's why mad dogs mad.

Grizz (27:40)
Mad Dog is 13%.

And ain't no, like, that's why I'm up. Like you wake up like what the fuck in headache from hell. Like the only, I never get fucking hangovers, especially when I was younger. And the only times I did was fucking mad dog, mad dog and fucking, ⁓ Matt mad dog and fucking, ⁓

Matt dog and, ⁓ when I fucking drank moonshine, like real moonshine for the first time, like I'm talking about dudes that made it by like, you know, family made it in a fucking run their ranch. Like I never got like blocked out drunk, like, or like, or I guess people say a brown. It's like, well, you're like, just remember glimpses.

Ice Bear (28:17)
⁓

So it's like 180 proof. It's borderline firestarter.

Yeah.

Grizz (28:35)
The only time I like the first time I did was I drank moonshine for the first time. And then, ⁓ and then, ⁓ the only other time I had a, especially like in my twenties and younger when I had like an actual like hangover hangover was mad dog moons real moonshine and then Polanka. Are you familiar with Polanka?

Ice Bear (28:40)
I believe it.

I know Rob Palenka.

Grizz (29:02)
So Polenka is basically like Eastern European plum moonshine.

Ice Bear (29:06)
Okay.

Grizz (29:08)
And I remember like my first boss thing he was just kind of he was leaving to use becoming a border patrol agent or some shit. This is like back in like 2010, 2011. And so he was leaving. He was leaving the company. And so we had a big like kind of going with party kind of thing. And his neighbor was this fucking crazy ass Romanian guy.

And we were all there like drinking. And so like I brought a bottle of fucking muskala with the worms. Right. I brought a bottle of muskala and I bought I bought a fucking jar, a little jug of that fucking moonshine that I got from that guy. And so like we got fucked all of everybody got fucked up. I saw my boss like on his hands and knees out in the backyard crying for his wife.

Ice Bear (29:40)
oooh

my god

Grizz (30:01)
I'm like, like we were fucked up because like the bottom of my skull, I got had had two worms in it. I'm like, it's me and you. And so I'm like 20, I'm like 20, 21. And my boss is like, you he's in his 30s and the other guys in there are like 30s and 40s. And then I have like we have like two other guys are in their 20s, like with me and so like we fucking hooligans all of us. Right. Like.

Ice Bear (30:08)
man.

Mm.

Sheesh.

Grizz (30:28)
But yeah, so those that but after everybody passed out his neighbor was fucking still there drinking. This is crazy as Romanian dude and I got He brought it cuz I had a long try the moonshine. He's like, oh I got something he brought this fucking they were in coke bottles like Coke bottle It was polinka and he brought this thing over me him. We're drinking. I were like, what the fuck is this? It was like Motor oil like it was like fuck it. It was like ever clear and plum. It's like plum ever clear. I was like

Ice Bear (30:46)
⁓ no...

yikes. ⁓ plumb. Have you had a, what's it called? ⁓ Lambanog? Lambanog? It's like the Filipino moonshine. It's one of those ones that like, I think it's supposed to be 90 proof, but people leave it buried in the backyard way too long.

Grizz (30:58)
It was after that I was like fucking it was rough

No.

Is it one of those things that like every time one of them gets cracked open, Akuya gets his wings?

Ice Bear (31:31)
100 % 100 % and the first swig is almost invariably going to the to the filthy cano that also needs to have to have the fucking bullet in the and like make the white man try shit

Grizz (31:49)
Oh, God, I need to try it.

Ice Bear (31:54)
It's it's it's the experience is very similar to moonshine. Like it's it's just one of those things that you're like this is someone's someone's grandpa like really, really enjoys making this. It's gonna be bad.

Grizz (32:12)
That's awesome.

Ice Bear (32:15)
all this talk about

drinking makes me want another one of these

Grizz (32:18)
Now they ask

in a little thirsty, but going back as we practice, apparently mad dog came out with one called spiked mad dog 2020 spiked, right? That's just 20 ABV. I was like, what the hell? Yeah. was like, every, yeah. I just went to the website and said, I found out about it. I never heard about it before. Yeah. But bad dog spiked this 20, 20 ABV.

Ice Bear (32:27)
⁓

I wanna try fi- I wanna try find it. Does it still exist?

I need to find that.

I need to find that. That sounds fun.

Grizz (32:48)
to as quickly as I do.

Ice Bear (32:52)
⁓

God, that was a rough start. That was a real rough start.

Grizz (32:59)
BLEH

That's good, man, that's good.

Ice Bear (33:07)
Alright Mr.

Bear, drink up Mr. Drink up Mr. Bear. Now this is another one that I don't know if I've had before, I think I have. I think I have in fact had this one. Flying Monkeys is here to play again. This is Velvet Bubble Lord.

Grizz (33:33)
I don't remember either one of these, but again, maybe we were just too drunk when they came out, but I don't remember either one of these to be honest.

Ice Bear (33:37)
I mean, the thing is that they're on the lower side,

so maybe I've just had them not on. Yeah, which I hope that's the case. I hope these are new to people. So this is a fresh blueberry puree and citrus lemon verbena with velvety bubbles in a fruity magenta buoyancy, tart gamier quips and tannic Pinot Noir repartee closing with acidic floral whispers. Hell yeah.

Grizz (33:43)
On here? Yeah.

Ooh.

but pain.

Oh fuck, is this not a beer? Is it a barley wine?

Ice Bear (34:11)
It's a blueberry sour.

Grizz (34:13)
wow. Damn. This sounds delicious to be honest.

Ice Bear (34:19)
The foam that I inhaled off the lid was tart as something that's tart. I was going to say balls, but that makes no sense. we'll go with tart as sp-

Grizz (34:31)
Hard as brown raw beef.

Ice Bear (34:33)
heart is raw beef yep that's it that's it makes way more sense than balls so yes we'll go with beef

Grizz (34:35)
You see beef tartare.

You

Here's mine, look at this color.

Ice Bear (34:50)
You had you had two elegant beverages tonight. They're both sophisticated. And and they are becoming of a grizzly such as yourself.

Grizz (35:00)
You know, the big thing about it, and especially like, you know, it's like, big boys and all that stuff. What I learned about that, especially after hearing that song is that big boys, just like big boys, they're so hot right now.

Ice Bear (35:18)
⁓ my god. Look at those hops just ready for a POTAY!

Grizz (35:25)
So hot right now this hazy you

Ice Bear (35:27)
I matchless is

so are are they the the brewery there that seems to have the whimsy they got a lot of whimsy in their art

Grizz (35:36)
I

think who the thing is, I think it's them and I think it's Georgetown. The one that had the pizza pals. I think it's between those two, but I think, don't know if that Georgetown ones from Morgan or whichever the one that pizza pals. I don't know if that, that one's from Morgan or not, or it's from here. don't remember. Yeah. than pizza slices. ⁓

Ice Bear (35:44)
Yeah.

Wait, was that the Ninja Turtle one?

So to me, cause that one was really fun. Don't get me wrong. But to me, if you have like what you just, the two that you've done tonight and Meowza for that, when you're creating things that aren't based off anything, well, I guess big boy is kind of based off the big boy thing, but I don't know. There's something more charming about this.

Grizz (36:01)
Yeah.

Yeah, that's fair. There is a level of like

It's not nostalgia. Nostalgia is not the right word, it's like this, like there's a certain like whimsy to it. Like, know what I mean? like, it's playful, right? Like it's.

Ice Bear (36:32)
Well, that's, that's what I was saying. Cause it's

that it's, it's anytime you have something that's riding on like the Ninja Turtle thing is very cool. Don't get me wrong. I like that one a lot, but you are kind of like coattail riding. Whereas I think these two, even though the big boy thing is kind of using the big boy, you could have done any sort of restaurant logo or not even a restaurant logo and just like a fat little anthropomorphic thing. And it would have been funny.

Grizz (36:42)
Yeah.

Fair. That's fair.

Ice Bear (37:03)
I they

the silly chibi eyes and the... I don't know, they're just fun.

Grizz (37:09)
I do agree. I've never really kind of thought about that, but I do agree. So right here, it says so hot right now. Hey, is a bu it's with crush.

Ice Bear (37:27)
No idea what the fuck that is.

Grizz (37:30)
D-O-L-C-I-T-A. Dolce Gitta. I don't know. I've never heard of that hat before.

Ice Bear (37:34)
Well, see you the end.

That is from Yaki Ma Valley, which that makes sense because you are up there.

Grizz (37:48)
And then Citra, which I love me some Citra. Then again, Pilsner and Fleck dotes. This is descriptors. I'm pretty sure there's not a lot more to life than being really, really ridiculously good tasting. God damn it. is fucked. God damn it.

Okay, you got that reference, right? You got that fucking reference.

Ice Bear (38:11)
Well, I'm just sorry. I got really distracted looking at the Dolce description because I had to know what it was.

So what are we saying? Dulcita or dulquita? Dulcita probably.

Grizz (38:25)
I think there's not a lot of Spanish up there, there? Is it dulcita? Okay, so dulcita. That's what I first said, but I don't know if that was just...

Ice Bear (38:29)
It looks Spanish.

I think you're right. think that's what it is. So dulcita delivers a unique striking flavor forward profile with a complex medley of stone fruit, tropical citrus and aromatic notes. Does that seem correct?

Grizz (38:51)
I guess because there's something to this. it seems like off's not the right word. Like I don't name it off in a bad way, but it's just like there's something there.

Ice Bear (39:01)
It says they have created this with a desire to have a unique sensory signature with impressive brewing impact. From the moment I first encountered dulcita, its incredibly vibrant aroma leapt out from the thousands of other hybrids. And when we brewed with it, the flavor matched the aroma. In my 25 years of breeding, true winners are rare, but dulcita was unmistakable, which is why it's now one of the quickest cross to market hops we've ever had.

Grizz (39:30)
It is interesting though, because there is something there and I guess it is very stone fruity.

Ice Bear (39:37)
peach rings,

caramelized pineapple, ripe orange, creamy undertones evoking tropical daiquiris and dark rum.

Grizz (39:47)
Yeah. Cause it is great. It's good, but it is like there's a level of complexity that I'm It's not that I'm not used to is I wasn't expecting with this, like by no means is it not good. It is, it is actually very good, but it was like, I find myself trying to like figure out the taste. can't place it, you know, don't know how much. And so I guess that doesn't make sense that this is, this is a hybrid.

Ice Bear (39:57)
Sure.

Mmm.

They recommend this bad boy and hazy epas, standard epas, double epas and pale ales. And if you're going to pair it with another hop, they say mosaic, eclipse, crush and Eldorado.

We've learned things today. This has been our most educational beer episode yet.

Grizz (40:34)
Yeah, it's like

the first beer podcast episode.

Ice Bear (40:41)
Fucking 40 episodes in, we're actually talking about beer this week.

Grizz (40:47)
But the descriptors on this one though, you gotta, you gotta come on. Do you know, do you remember? Ready? This is the descriptors is I'm pretty sure that there's not a lot more to life than being really, really ridiculously good tasting.

Ice Bear (40:47)
Good for us being focused.

Yes.

Wait, is that the really, really ridiculously handsome thing? No. Yes? Good looking. Yes, OK. All right.

Grizz (41:17)
Really, really ridiculously good looking. Yeah, it's talking Doolander.

It's so hot right now. This whole fucking makes sense now that it's so hot right now. God, that's so good, man.

Ice Bear (41:32)
Mmm.

Grizz (41:33)
I fucking love it. That was completely unexpected. Like matchless. I think that they might be my favorite brewery. The only one that's close to them again, that Georgetown one or whatever the fuck it was, was pretty up there. But, ⁓ outside of matchless, I do like, know, they're pretty in their own niche, but that whole fucking the Raven one, the black Raven brewing one, I do like them. I do like them.

Ice Bear (41:57)
Yeah, they're very good too. They seem very good. Now, sorry,

just we need to we need to quickly clear the air here. You're talking about favorite for the pack Northwest, correct? This is not usurping any of the. OK, all right, just just wanted to make sure.

Grizz (42:08)
Correct. ⁓ yeah. no. I

yeah, because I I would say as much as I do like ⁓ so last night's also a fucking ⁓ man project. I think mattress might be better than the regular ones. Right. But unless I still haven't

Ice Bear (42:25)
Manhattan Project.

Interesting.

Okay.

Grizz (42:38)
So, and it kind of makes sense because it's like their big one. So like, you know how they have all like the bomb and war things. They have that, what's that SAR bomber one? Like, the, what's the giant fucking bomb, the giant gravity bomb. It's a.

Ice Bear (42:45)
Mm-hmm.

I wanna know what you're talking about, but I'm not sure.

Grizz (42:59)
Yeah,

the SAR bomb was a hydrogen bomb. Yeah, so like the SAR bomb was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever constructed and tested. Yeah, so SAR bomb. So SAR bomb, it was from like Soviet Union era.

Ice Bear (43:16)
Okay, that makes sense.

Grizz (43:18)
Yeah. So they have a specific one. I think it's a quadruple or some shit. It's a quadruple thing and it's called the saraboma and it's a gold can that one, anything I've had from matches doesn't touch, doesn't get close. Easy. But like some of the ones I had, like meows, it kicks the shit out of like half life and double half life. And I liked those beers a lot. And then this big boy one definitely kicks the shit out of this too.

Ice Bear (43:23)
shit.

interesting. Now here's

Grizz (43:46)
So I think,

I think mattress is better than that.

Ice Bear (43:49)
Here's my follow up question. Because again, this is our first educational episode, and I feel like you're going to know, and I should know with as many as we drink. When you're describing something as a standard EPA, or a double EPA, or a triple EPA, or a quad EPA, what is the double indicating? Has it been like brewed twice as long? Has it been

Grizz (43:53)
you

Ice Bear (44:19)
brewed twice? Is it two Indias? Is it a triple pale? What is getting at the indicator of a double, a triple or a quadruple?

Grizz (44:32)
It's when they have the feathers and the dot.

Ice Bear (44:35)
⁓ of course. I should have known. They're both screwing in the light bulb and doing the...

Grizz (44:46)
Ha ha.

Ice Bear (44:47)
They are playing the Dallas Cowboys and eating butter chicken. I understand now. I get it.

Grizz (44:54)
Yeah, I think I think honestly because isn't a doubly was just an Imperial right like isn't it I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure it's used interchangeably Yeah, I'm like I'm like 99 % sure that just use interchangeably I think a double and an Imperial is just where they have like double the hops and stuff. I pretty sure

Ice Bear (44:55)
I thought it was about beer the whole time. I'm so stupid

Dude, I don't know. That's why I was hoping you knew.

Okay, let's find out. Yes, ⁓ a Deepa or an Imperial is a stronger, more intensely flavored version of a standard IPA, featuring significantly higher alcohol and hot bitterness.

Grizz (45:37)
They're all says.

Ice Bear (45:37)
The

double refers to increased ingredients, more hops for flavor and more malt, resulting in a beer that's essentially a double dose of the IPA's key characteristics, making it stronger and more potent. Think of it as a supersized IPA, amplifying the bitterness, aroma and strength.

Grizz (45:40)
So I guess, yeah.

Ice Bear (45:59)
So a triple is just doing it 3x and a quad is doing it 4x.

Grizz (46:01)
Three times, yeah, I guess I am.

Hell yeah.

Ice Bear (46:06)
Okay, all right. this is what...

Grizz (46:09)
That makes sense

why all that like Texas is just a little fucking quad and triples and all that shit.

Ice Bear (46:14)
Yeah, so this is why I really like the... all the flying monkeys, quads, and triples. Because I just like flavor.

Grizz (46:21)
Yeah.

They're just big bull bears. Just big like trolley or big Haribo or trolley. Whichever one. Big bull bears.

Ice Bear (46:32)
Har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-har-

Grizz (46:35)
I love. Yeah.

Yeah. But I think, but there's one called big bold bears and I don't know if it's trolley or harbor. think it's Charlie, but fucking the horrible gummy bears stay undefeated and then the horrible sour gummy bears. ⁓ my Lord. Hell yeah.

Ice Bear (46:52)
What? Yeah, Big Bull Bears is trolley. What about the what about the German ones? The black forest gummies?

Grizz (47:00)
Yeah.

What do they look like?

Well, Swedish, wasn't it? ⁓

Ice Bear (47:13)
⁓ thank you, Gris. Thank you.

Yeah, no, that was beautiful. That's absolutely majestic German.

⁓ best gummy bear friends i wasn't ready i've i've never ready for it i've never ready for it when you when you embrace your multilingual nature you polymite you

Grizz (47:28)
Ha

Ice Bear (47:42)
I've never heard of these. I hate these. Albert Milk. Let's get to the top five. I'm looking at the best gummy bear rands. Black Forest at number four?

Grizz (47:45)
As-salamu

heart.

Talk for... ⁓

Ice Bear (47:53)
Stop and shop

at number three. I've never heard of this. Great value from Walmart at number two.

Grizz (47:57)
I am rid of that. It's fake news.

Ain't no fucking way. Those are actually are bad to be to be very, very, they're not bad. Well, Haribo is fucking number one. Haribo going bears is like the perfect matter of like, like, like firmness, flavor, bear form. It's it really is. You don't want like this mealy like that's why that's what I don't like about the Black Forest ones.

Ice Bear (48:18)
The firm, firmness is important in the gummy bear. You want a little bit of bite. You want a little bit. Yeah.

Yeah. Yep. Yep.

Grizz (48:30)
They're super soft like like and it's just it feels cheap to me because you don't

have like you're not biting into you know what mean like it's like mealy I'm like a mealy apple like a red delicious. Yeah. Yeah.

Ice Bear (48:36)
Yep. I... dude, there

is nothing worse than an apple that's not crisp. Like when you eat one of the ones that's like, could probably use it for baking. Like that is so upsetting to bite it. Biting into a Red Delicious kills my soul.

Grizz (48:45)
Yeah.

Yeah, but you're like, yeah.

It was funny is like when a red delicious apple is cold. I don't mind it.

Ice Bear (49:04)
Dude, here's the thing. I get it. This is very pretentious. I understand this is I've had the benefit of sampling many a variety of apple. But if you give me a Red Delicious right now, I'm probably going to say no.

Grizz (49:17)
no, I love.

⁓ I actually probably would say that too. Cause I, the thing is like, I do remember being like thinking like Brown lunch, lunch bag, field trip, Brown lunch bag, fucking lunches and, and the red little chapel there then kind of hits. But, but, but when you, but even like, yeah, honey, cause fucking all day cosmic apples all day.

Ice Bear (49:33)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I know. And it's what we all had growing up.

Back then, absolutely, but the problem is I've had a honey crisp now.

I've had a cosmic

apple now. I've had a jazz apple now.

Grizz (49:52)
So the honey crisp,

Jessica to jazz is like Gala. think it's Gala and red delicious. think actually I think it's a cross. ⁓ no, like, so honey, Chris fucking phenomenal, amazing. Everything's beautiful. Great. ⁓ my, and then like Fuji apples love my favorite apple was just funny. Cause my favorite apple is actually kind of a mealy apple. It's not a crisp apple. They're called, they're called Macintosh apples.

Ice Bear (50:02)
It seems right. Yep.

I do know Macintosh, I'm not a fan.

Grizz (50:22)
And there's

the smaller and the thing, but the thing is, but the thing why I like them so much is that even though they're the flesh is softer, it's sweet, right? But the skin tastes like sweet tarts. And, and so you get this like sweet flesh and thing. I fucking love those apples so much. But I think when I think of like the best apples, I'm thinking like honey crisp and Brozzi apples are up there. Like, but honey crisp.

Ice Bear (50:34)
That's, can see it. I can see it. I just.

Grizz (50:51)
You can't beat a fucking honeycrisp. Honeycrisp is just like juicy, sweet, crisp, crunchy. And it's just like the most apple apple you can see. Like it's fucking beautiful.

Ice Bear (51:06)
⁓ I'm looking up a list of apples right now. I've never had a sweet tango. I kind of want to try that.

Grizz (51:14)
I've had that. I've had that when I was like 18,

I worked in a produce area. I was always a wee, a wee young lad. And so I try to get a fucked in Apple's.

Ice Bear (51:19)
the

Ooh, a snapdragon? That sounds cool. I've never heard of that either.

Grizz (51:27)
Snapdragon's culture.

Yeah

Ice Bear (51:32)
Hmm. ⁓ I hate blondies.

Grizz (51:37)
Blondie is that the grandma one? What's the name of that Granny Smith? What's the other one? No, it's a fuck. Not the grange grange with the green one, the yellow one. What the fuck is the yellow one called? Golden is is that a golden delicious? Another word for golden delicious, because. OK, I don't like golden delicious either.

Ice Bear (51:40)
Thank

There's a Granny Smith.

Golden delicious. Is that what you're of?

No, it's his own thing.

No, they're ⁓ court courtland apples. Fuck a courtland apple. No, thanks. Get out of here. Get out of here.

Grizz (51:59)
Yeah. I think objectively the worst double. Yeah. Yeah. It does.

Yeah,

I think the only Melee Apple I like is the Macintosh.

Ice Bear (52:12)
I don't know what a Newton Pippin Apple is, but this this Apple ranking forum has it as the lowest it is ranked in Apple hell and it is described as a vomitus filth Long Island sand filled condom.

Grizz (52:34)
I was going to say Newton Pippen sounds like a slur for nerdy people.

Ice Bear (52:40)
the

Grizz (52:53)
I was like fuller than I thought I was gonna be.

Ice Bear (52:55)
That's nice, that's beautiful. All right, well, we, God damn, we've been on a journey tonight. We're talking apples, we're talking Brucekies.

Grizz (53:01)
Yeah, I just think I just think I'd

they

Ice Bear (53:09)
Talking anchorman talking Zoolander

Grizz (53:13)
We didn't talk in current on the park. That was pre podcast.

Ice Bear (53:17)
no, and now I've already forgotten. We're talking my bad memory. I'm old now, it's fine.

Grizz (53:22)
It's like a TLC show.

Ice Bear (53:28)
I like how Mr. Bear like retains a little bit of the froth at the top too.

Grizz (53:35)
That is a nice touch.

Ice Bear (53:40)
God, Mr. Bear, what a guy. the...

Like I normally like sours, but this is not like it's not bad by any stretch. But this is probably the worst flying monkeys I've ever had.

Grizz (54:01)
Really? that's... That is kind of worrying.

Ice Bear (54:03)
Yeah, it's still it's

it's still gonna be like a B like it's still good, but just like because of how high I hold them and how good everything else is it's it's noticeably upsetting.

Grizz (54:12)
⁓

You hear that, you?

Ice Bear (54:25)
What? I heard you burp.

Grizz (54:26)
Okay, okay

good.

Ice Bear (54:30)
Was there something chaotic going on?

Grizz (54:32)
No, I pulled up the Seahawks game and then it pops in with sound like oh shit. Turn off the sound. We're at we're at two minutes and 28 seconds. All right. We're first and 10 Seahawks it's 31 to 27. See, Seahawks lead.

Ice Bear (54:39)
⁓

stream the rest of the episode.

Livestream the rest of the episode for our glorious. Yeah, that's the surefire way to get this pulled down. Stream an NFL game. We're gold live.

Grizz (55:01)
You

What if we mirror

it and we just talk like one of those old like unboxing fucking radio hosts.

Ice Bear (55:15)
⁓ we could be good announcers. Donald at the 27th, he backs up, drops back, five step drop, looking left, looking right.

Grizz (55:24)
The bird,

the bird's at 25, the bird's at 25.

Ice Bear (55:31)
It could be good announcers. It could be.

Grizz (55:33)
What

I hear one the second man so random so like my dad when we were driving during the Cowboys game he would always put on like the AM radio stations and Like when it was when we couldn't get a good reception For the game you could always the Spanish game would always like pop up and that was like you'd always hear So you listen to a Spanish every once in a while. I Remember and I think it was ⁓

Ice Bear (55:55)
Okay.

Grizz (56:04)
It was the Dallas Cowboys versus the Chicago Bears.

The announcer was calling the bears the Ocitos, which is the little bear like the little bears. It's the cowboy. It was the cowboys and the little baby bears. They're not even the Ocitos. He's obviously a cowboy. He's calling them baby bears.

Ice Bear (56:18)
Los ositos!

I love that.

I love that's so good.

That's really, really good. There was so you'll like this because this is your this is your your alternate team. There was a stretch where if you went to the Baltimore Zoo, that if you went to the Raven exhibit at the Baltimore Zoo, it was the only animal that had a utter nonsense faked like background.

Grizz (56:38)
you

Ice Bear (57:00)
So like every other animal you'd go up to the lion and it be like, lives in Africa, eats fucking gazelles and you know, like normal information, where it lives, where it's from. When you went up to the Raven exhibit in the Baltimore Zoo, it said, ⁓ known to terrify tigers, brown dogs and steel workers, lives on a humble diet of ⁓ skyline chili.

Grizz (57:08)
Yeah.

Ha

Ice Bear (57:27)
something from Pittsburgh and something from Cleveland, but it was basically just shitting on the whole ASD North. And I was like, yo, this is whoever's in charge of this zoo. Like I couldn't even be mad at I was like, that's pretty good. Like that's pretty good banter. And they had like, they turned like a bangle helmet, a Brown's helmet, a Steelers helmet, like upside down in the exhibit and like filled it with the the fucking Raven munchie food.

Grizz (57:32)
You

That's fucking awesome.

That is so...

Ice Bear (57:56)
So they would just go over like,

just go at it.

Grizz (58:01)
That is so awesome.

Ice Bear (58:02)
Yeah, that was pretty good. That was pretty good.

Grizz (58:05)
I do love me some dirty birds.

Ice Bear (58:07)
⁓ Speaking of old timey football radio, are you aware of the Washington song that would play when they won back in the day? Because your uncle was a big Skins fan, right? So I thought maybe he would know about it or you might have heard it.

Grizz (58:28)
I probably have heard it, but I don't know it.

Ice Bear (58:30)
Okay, so anytime, and I mean, anytime they won, it could be one in 15 if they won a game for the next week, Monday through the following Saturday until the next game, constantly on the radio stations where I to the Redskins, hail victory, hail to the Warthogs and fight!

for old DC. And my dad when that song came on would be fucking furious. He'd be like, this is just one listen to my country means just irrationally angry. But that that's like, man, that song still pops in my head from time to time, just because it was it was constant, like, they would play it 100 times.

Grizz (59:05)
Hahaha!

Ice Bear (59:25)
Like anytime there was like in between songs and they're like switching like, now introducing Blabla with their new hit single, like they jump into that and play the whole thing. I'm like, oh my God, again? All right. All right. Hail to the Warthogs.

Grizz (59:35)
You

That's fucking awesome.

I don't think we had that any of that in Texas, really.

Ice Bear (59:44)
Mm.

⁓ Also, now that I'm thinking about it, really bad missed opportunity to just change the team name to the Warthogs. That's a good team name.

Grizz (59:56)
We're not good. It's a great fucking hardcore band name do

Ice Bear (59:58)
Like, Commanders

isn't terrible, but like Warthogs is better.

Grizz (1:00:04)
Yeah, the Washington Warhawks, yeah, that's better.

Ice Bear (1:00:08)
Because like Arkansas's logo is awesome. Like the Razorback shit and Warthog's similar-ish.

Grizz (1:00:12)
Yeah, it's true.

Yeah, that was one I'm glad they at least went to the because I go in each when they like stop the Redskins like this like this. These guys

Ice Bear (1:00:21)
the Washington

football team for that one year. That was the worst branding ever.

Grizz (1:00:24)
Yeah, I was so, I was so annoyed. Uh, cause, cause

the thing is it's like cat was an Indian. Do you know what I mean? Like it's the coolest thing ever. Like it was fucking cool as fuck. Like just, just the imagery and just everything. And like, I get also to like, you know, cause again, I have family that it is, that is native Americans and stuff. And like, so like, see like even that and like being in Texas, like like command sheets and stuff, like be scalping people. It's always been cool. So like,

Ice Bear (1:00:37)
The

Grizz (1:00:54)
We see that and I'm like, it's just always super cool. And so when they took it away, was like,

Ice Bear (1:01:01)
Dude, here's the part that drives me insane about that. It was such a...

Grizz (1:01:05)
and Jemima.

When they took her

away too, I was sad. was sad. That was my childhood.

Ice Bear (1:01:10)
No, no,

one I didn't know this, but no, that's not where I was going with this. I, I, this is news to me. I'm a, I'm a little, what does it look like now? What does, what does that?

Grizz (1:01:16)
Okay, I was sad that it took her away too.

It's just, it's

just like the, it's the building. It's like the Pearl Millings company or whatever, some shit like that. Like it's, but yeah, but like they took away edge of my mind and I was like, damn man. I fucking, I love her. That's my breakfast. That's my, that's like my breakfast lady. She's like, you know, and then she's gone and I was like, damn, you can't take her away from me. That's my childhood.

Ice Bear (1:01:35)
I know.

Ugh, dark times.

This is upsetting. This is a bad... I'm down in the dumps now. ⁓ Shit, where was I going with this? Something about the Redskins, probably. ⁓ it was a really stupid missed opportunity on their part to just go find...

Grizz (1:01:50)
Yeah, I was.

Taking away the rest of the

Ice Bear (1:02:08)
one of the local tribes and get their blessing because like Florida State still the Seminoles because they went to the Seminoles and said hey are you cool with this can we give you some money like some kickbacks like there's plenty of tribes in and around the mid-Atlantic that the Snyder family could have gone to and then like hey want to build some new casinos or whatever you know whatever benefited them and then keep flow going change the name like it didn't have to be pejorative you could have switched to

Grizz (1:02:30)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (1:02:38)
Tuxens are the, know, like pick a tribe. Pick a tribe, make it cool, give them ownership over it. Because yeah, they're like, they are, it's it's tough imagery. Yeah.

Grizz (1:02:45)
I do

It's a cool fucking logo to the logos

fucking dope. Like, and that was high. I remember, uh, like during a time when the stuff and people were like, what if we did this and they changed like the rest of the soul? It's like a random white guy. I'm like, yeah, heard about the fighting Irish. Like, yeah, I was like, ain't you heard about the fighting Irish Notre Dame? Like, what are you talking about? Like a fucking Lumbergund. I was Lumbergund. Like we got, we got those already.

Ice Bear (1:03:02)
⁓ yeah, the Washington Caucasians. Yeah, I remember that.

But,

but, but you have to understand, the Irish are not the, they're not a good representative of the whites. Yes, yes. The, the, the, the, the no Irish need apply. this is why they're allowed to get away with some shit.

Grizz (1:03:25)
Yeah, because because of the paddy wagons. They're the same as our skins.

I'm take away the Fighting Irish next. I'm gonna go full Zircal eventually.

Ice Bear (1:03:45)
Notre dame just becomes like the accountant.

Grizz (1:03:50)
The hunchbacks.

Just the Notre Dame Humps. Just the Humps.

Ice Bear (1:03:56)
⁓

The Notre Dame.

Grizz (1:04:00)
The humps.

Ice Bear (1:04:01)
Just the humps, no tame humps. And their mascot's just like a sad camel.

I always this one of my favorite things about the end of the episodes if you're ever listening in the car. Like for the Spotify version is just the one when we both get like fucking giggle fits and it's just like 30 seconds of radio silence and maybe just like a like just like the occasional chuckle in the background.

Grizz (1:04:25)
Ha ha ha.

You

Ice Bear (1:04:41)
Cough cough cough

Grizz (1:04:42)
That

was good. Glad to hear it good.

⁓ fuck here we go alright

Ice Bear (1:04:50)
We got some Seahawks news. We got some birds news.

Grizz (1:04:54)
Alright,

we're gonna I'm the audio popped in I'm letting it really continue. We're 31 Seahawks waiting to fucking LA 27. It's 10 seconds left to the fourth quarter

Ice Bear (1:05:06)
⁓ shit. 10 seconds left in the fourth.

Grizz (1:05:10)
Final time out going on. Ram to second and 10.

Ice Bear (1:05:17)
second intense. they got what one Hail Mary maybe two

Grizz (1:05:22)
Let's see, fuck, 10 seconds left, I mean.

Ice Bear (1:05:29)
See, hold on.

Grizz (1:05:33)
All right, let's do this. I'm like, if.

Ice Bear (1:05:35)
Let

⁓ me try and pull up a thing here. We'll do some announcing together.

Grizz (1:05:38)
After this, think we're

going to do this. It'll be the thing. I think this episode is going to skip the line and we're going to go actually, ⁓ fuck.

I think that's it. I don't know if they're right or not.

Ice Bear (1:05:55)
Have them, them birds gone? Dude, the seal makes fun of me all the time because I, every football game I comment on it, I just can't help myself. Guardian helmets look, look, not are, look, so fucking stupid. I hate guardian caps. If I was playing football at a professional level, I'd probably consider it. I don't think I would do it.

Grizz (1:06:13)
That's fair.

That's right.

Ice Bear (1:06:25)
but I would definitely consider it.

Grizz (1:06:27)
I keep the classic. I'm going to give me give me the fucking leatherback. I'm going be out in the napa season.

Ice Bear (1:06:32)
The old school- Jesus, bro.

Just all grizzled, just chomping away.

Grizz (1:06:48)
You know, one of the things I'm seeing this fucking Rams, how do I like one of things I'll give is anytime I see some dude with fucking like sunlight, like Marion Barber, like what hair of a player, but seeing a fucking dude with dreads out like ⁓ matters. ⁓ fuck.

Ice Bear (1:06:58)
Mm-hmm.

There we go. Them birds.

Them birds. Them birds have done it.

Grizz (1:07:12)
Seahawks are going to the Super Bowl. Then birds

are going to the Super Bowl. God damn. ⁓ my Lord.

Ice Bear (1:07:19)
So I wonder, I would like you to investigate between this episode and next. ⁓ If the people at your job, if they could trade the Mariners for the Seahawks, like what would have been, do you think they would, like a World Series would have been more meaningful than a Super Bowl?

Grizz (1:07:33)
I think so. Yeah, I think so. ⁓

think way, way more. I truly believe so.

Ice Bear (1:07:41)
Interesting, very interesting. ⁓ I love this for them. I think the Seahawks have a fantastic fan base. I'm happy for them. They're the objective good guys going into this shit.

Grizz (1:07:46)
Yeah.

Oh yeah. This season

1000%. What is Patriots and Rams? I mean like come the fuck on. I was really hoping. I was really hoping, you know, partial horror or, or, or what do what do you, what do you call it? Like, or a prejudicial bunch. We prefer the bears when we can. You know, if there's any wooden creatures should be the bears. All right. Like, and so I was hoping I also do like,

Ice Bear (1:07:58)
⁓ yeah.

Yeah.

Yep.

Grizz (1:08:22)
There was a whole thing of the timeline. Like when the fucking cubs won as I guess, but sent the fucking timeline to like shit. And it's like, the bears bring the bears win this time. They'll bring it back and we'll be back. We'll be back pre Harambe. Like, we'll be back back to normal. So I do like, I do like that band to the internet banter. It's great. But like, you know, I did, I did want the bears. The thing is too, was like, I'm not a Texans fan.

Ice Bear (1:08:33)
Yeah, fix it.

Grizz (1:08:53)
But like Texans, Texas, I'm like, you know, I'll go for them, but they like fucking just were dog shit in the playoff. I was like, what the fuck could. And because the thing is, like, because they were like doing great. I was like, damn, they're fucking good. All fucking season, they're doing fucking pretty damn good. And then we get hit like playoffs and it's like, what the fuck happened? They were playing like they was not one like impressive thing during that entire round. was shocked.

Ice Bear (1:08:55)
Mm-hmm.

Dude, CJ Stroud looked terrible.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

It was brutal.

Brutal.

Grizz (1:09:23)
Absolutely shocked with that.

Ice Bear (1:09:26)
the, the one thing that I'm happy about for the Superbowl and it makes me almost glad that it's the Pats is it gives them chance to rewrite the, horrific Superbowl like 10 years ago with Pete, with Pete, with Pete Carroll's pass call.

Grizz (1:09:39)
Yeah,

it's so funny because like, it's like, it's coming back, right? I remember like talking to people like from here and everything. And they're talking about they're hoping it was a pets and see Hawks because it's like fucking redemption. You know what mean?

Ice Bear (1:09:56)
Dude, the thing about that game that's so maddening is Pete Carroll, I generally think is a pretty good coach. Like I didn't have much of an issue with him, but I think that was the worst call in the history of football. If you have a ⁓ beast mode himself, Sir Marshawn Lynch, goal line adjacent, and it wasn't like it was fourth, and you fucking pass it?

Grizz (1:10:12)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (1:10:25)
Like that was the most terrific call. It was absolutely insane. Like they would have been back to back. That was theirs. And also, the other thing I really wonder about that, had that happened, had the Seahawks won that, gone back to back, does that end the Brady-Bilichek thing? Does that stop that right there? Because I think it might have. I really think that might have ended that.

Grizz (1:10:35)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Cause one of those losses definitely does. That's where fucking people get, that's where like owners and people getting C and start fucking making moves that like fuck with teams for better or for worse, usually for worse. Yeah. I think that's a good, that's a good thing. Cause I've actually kind of thought about that and that's, that's a good thing. That's actually before we get more into this.

Ice Bear (1:11:04)
Yep. Yep. Yep. It's.

Grizz (1:11:23)
Are we being good bears or bad?

Ice Bear (1:11:25)
I'm tapped. You saw my trip. this is the end of my my beverages.

Grizz (1:11:27)
shit

Okay, so we're being a bad bear.

Ice Bear (1:11:36)
Yeah.

Grizz (1:11:37)
I

so here's the thing. I brought a bunch of beers from Texas and a couple of them are like I was holding on to before I came. So I need to like they need to be drunk soon.

So here we go, a Rogue 3, a Rogue 3B. This right here, actually, you know what? It was kind of cubing it because it goes brood and canned. This right here is, ⁓ my Lord.

Ice Bear (1:12:38)
What is it?

Grizz (1:12:41)
Made in Texas by Texans. This right here is Brewed in Kin by Martin House Brewing Company.

Ice Bear (1:12:43)
⁓ shit.

⁓ shit.

Grizz (1:12:51)
this this fun boy

Ice Bear (1:12:54)
look at this little lad.

Grizz (1:12:57)
This is the Scare Bears Watermelon Zour.

Ice Bear (1:12:59)
⁓ watermelon

sour. ⁓

Grizz (1:13:03)
to 10%.

Ice Bear (1:13:05)
You're a bold man. You're a bold, bold man.

Grizz (1:13:09)
This was canned in May 6, 2025. ⁓

Ice Bear (1:13:14)
Hmm ⁓

Grizz (1:13:23)
⁓ fuck

Ice Bear (1:13:23)
Well, on out.

⁓ well done, sir. Well, I'm jealous because now Mr. Bear is empty. Now hold on. I need to figure out how to rectify this. I don't know what to do. I'm trying to think if there's anything. I don't think there's anything over there.

Grizz (1:13:31)
Woo.

Ice Bear (1:13:51)
Alright, you have to stall. You have to stall while I go investigate. I'll see if I have anything at all. Bear with me. ⁓

Grizz (1:13:54)
Last doll.

Spooky scary skeletons something with the bears Here's the thing we talked about What can we talk about? talk about a good ol' boy-eyed bear

This lad here just recently had a birthday. A fantastic birthday.

He's a pretty small guy, know, living with wolves, living with his lady bear, doing some good things. It's pretty amazing. ⁓

Ice Bear (1:14:40)
Were you working on Super Bowl announcing?

Grizz (1:14:46)
sure

Ice Bear (1:14:47)
You were were bullying me weren't

Grizz (1:14:50)
No, I was

borderline glazing you as the kids say.

Ice Bear (1:14:54)
⁓ gross. Alright.

Grizz (1:14:56)
Hehehehehe

⁓

Ice Bear (1:15:03)
Nothing worse than being glazed by your homies.

All right. ⁓

stealing something from the seal. I'm stealing from her. I don't think I'll get grounded because I don't think she really wants it. So in in Maple Land, we have what they call a Caesar, which is basically a Bloody Mary, but they flavor them. And this one is the works. So it is a Caesar, aka a Bloody Mary, but it has ⁓ celery and horseradish flavor. So it's a bit spicy.

Grizz (1:15:39)
That sounds fucking amazing. This is

fucking amazing.

Ice Bear (1:15:43)
good. It is a vodka beverage and it is a 5.5.

I think Mr. Bear is going to like being cleaned out with a nice red beverage.

It's interesting to pour something that's not like super frothy.

right away. Like just a fun, just a fun change of pace. And I'll

Grizz (1:16:15)
⁓ my lord.

That is

so much deeper than I like that. Cause like when you think of like Bloody Mary beverages, I always think of it as like flavoring and it's not really.

Ice Bear (1:16:27)
No, so the way they do them up here, they're very thick. Like they're bloody, like, sorry, not Bloody Mary. For American friends, that's like the concept, but a Caesar is like much thicker. Like Caesar mix has like an almost...

borderline milkshake thickness.

Grizz (1:16:51)
I can imagine like like with the flavor profile bloody Mary because it's very savory. I think that's fucking I think that'd be fucking awesome

Ice Bear (1:17:00)
Yeah, so the really common flavors to have the one I'm having now, which is horseradish, they have like spicy pickle. And I think I've and I think I told you way like years ago, like when you and the tiger first got together, really, if you ever come up and visit, we have to get this for you. The seal and I had found a KBBQ one. And it was just like it was like this perfect like bulgogi

Grizz (1:17:11)
Well, that's all we got to do.

Ice Bear (1:17:30)
spicy, weird umami aftertaste. And it was just, it was the best mixed drink in a can that you can buy. was two bucks. It was like 9%. It was absolute perfection. And I've, I have since asked about it, like at our liquor store. I'm like, Hey, whatever happened to that KBBQ one? And they're like, no one bought it. I'm like, fuck these white people.

Grizz (1:17:44)
Damn.

These honkeys.

Ice Bear (1:17:58)
Damn hawk, he's not buying the KBBQ Caesar.

Grizz (1:17:59)
Damn

poutine honkies can't even get nothing

Ice Bear (1:18:04)
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

Brutal. Brutal.

But this is, ⁓ man, after some beers, this actually hits pretty hard. I'm happy with this. I'm very happy with this.

Grizz (1:18:21)
It sounds

fucking, it looks fucking delicious. I'm actually jealous. I'm not going to lie.

Ice Bear (1:18:28)
It's one of those things that like, have you ever had like, you know what it kind of reminds you of? It's the alcohol version of like having like a hot tomato soup when you're not feeling good. Like it just, it's like comforting.

Grizz (1:18:43)
To be perfectly frank, I actually never had tomato soup. Like there was one time where I dipped a grilled cheese in a Campbell's tomato soup, like once. But like I've genuinely never had like a real tomato soup in my life.

Ice Bear (1:19:03)
Okay. Are any of your coworkers Italian?

Grizz (1:19:09)
Look, I have fucking family members that are way more into that.

Ice Bear (1:19:17)
Okay.

Grizz (1:19:19)
Yeah, to me, it was just one that.

Yeah, I've had because like my dad makes a fucking like from what I hear because I've seen it and it looks good Like my dad makes a fucking fantastic tomato soup, too

Ice Bear (1:19:29)
Mm-hmm.

do tomato soup in a bread bowl on a cold day is one of the best things on planet Earth.

Grizz (1:19:43)
Yeah, we just had some clam shit me and the tiger when she was here. We had some good delicious clam chowder in a in a tomato soup. So I had a traditional clam chowder that has some bacon in it. The tiger though, she had a fucking like seafood bisque in her bread bowl and a sour bread bowl. Fucking delicious. It was good.

Ice Bear (1:19:49)
⁓ clamp chatter's good too.

Mm-hmm.

⁓ that sounds nice.

Sourdough bread bowls. Fucking peak. Well, while we're on the soup train. my, my, my birthday festivities the other day that the seal took me out for my appetizer was a French onion soup. And, bro. This one was really good.

Grizz (1:20:20)
Dude, a good French onion soup. A good French onion soup. like the

caramelized onion sweetened like reduced down with a good.

Ice Bear (1:20:30)
When

they come out in the ramekin and the gruyere is just like crispy and just there, but then you dunk it in and you get the bread remnants. ⁓ my God. It so good.

Grizz (1:20:34)
Yeah.

Yeah.

And then like, because like, the best

suspension you had, was like the bread was basically a sourdough baguette. The guy dried out that they popped in there and it was perfect. You get the sweet. You get the sweet onion. ⁓

Ice Bear (1:20:55)
huh.

Yep. Mm-hmm.

Grizz (1:21:08)
Sourdough baguette and

the Gruyere cheese all mixed together. My Lord.

Ice Bear (1:21:14)
It's,

it's very good. You're ready for this that we we we may have invented something the other night. So, so when we go out to more expensive kind of fancy celebratory places, we tend to get things that we can kind of split, like she'll have a couple of bites of mine, I'll have a couple of hers. And so I had a ⁓ black cod gnocchi, which was

Grizz (1:21:22)
Hit me.

Ice Bear (1:21:43)
fucking fire is really good.

Grizz (1:21:46)
I fucking love

blackout table first dude. Amazing.

Ice Bear (1:21:51)
Yeah. And, ⁓ the seal had prime rib. Now what we did was we took said prime rib and we just got a little crazy and we dunked it in that French onion soup. And let me tell you, it may seem crazy, but prime rib with a little French onion soup, especially if you get the cheese, man, that was really good. That was really good.

Grizz (1:22:11)
Can I, I can imagine 1000%.

You're talking about good ass meat with

good ass soup. Of course it's going to be delicious. Like, ⁓ man. Cause you think about what's, what's fresh onion soup, but not just like a fucking amazing ass decadent. You know what I mean? Like, of course it's going to be good with fucking prime rib. You know what I mean? Like it's, it's like fucking, it's like ⁓ a delicious as you with fucking with the fixings. You know what I mean? Like

Ice Bear (1:22:37)
Yeah, it really is.

Yeah,

yeah. But it was, was very tasty. It was a, it was a tasty meal for sure.

Grizz (1:22:46)
Ain't no way that's not gonna be amazing. That sounds delicious.

That's a mil-fit for a king right there.

Ice Bear (1:23:01)
Yep. And then yeah, the the black cod was just leaping off the skin there. So just take a little bit of that.

Grizz (1:23:12)
That's, that's my favorite.

I always told people. like in, in me, like in beef, the Chuckeye is the poor man's rib eye, right? Cause it's part of the truck that sits right next to the nearby. So it's like, has a lot of characteristics of a nearby, but it's like a third of the price. So poor manager, but those just black cod or sable fish. Same thing.

Ice Bear (1:23:33)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (1:23:40)
is the poor man's Chilean teabass because because the character is because the characteristics are so similar. They're both whitefish. They're both extremely fatty like in the best ways. Like they have the same flavor profile of it. might not be as big or flaky, but it's like it's almost it's like if Chilean teabass is a 10 black cod or sea bass is a fucking eight and a half. Like it's it's in that realm.

Ice Bear (1:23:43)
Yeah, I can see that.

I never thought of that.

Yeah.

Grizz (1:24:10)
And it's like half the price. I will always stand the fucking black cotton table fish is one of my favorites by a long shot. And the thing with it too, is that it's such a thin fish. So like the filets are like from tail to head is like almost the same thickness. So they're super easy to fucking cook. Unlike the Chilean sea bass, it's like bulbous on one side and thin on the other side.

Ice Bear (1:24:19)
Yeah. ⁓

Mm.

Grizz (1:24:35)
So like it's a win win. I will pick it over most like nine out of 10 times I've taken the black card.

Ice Bear (1:24:43)
Mm

hmm. Yeah, no, I definitely had zero complaints. It was was scrumptious.

Mr. Bear. He's just a happy little guy.

Grizz (1:25:04)
I'm absolutely

loving that vessel.

Ice Bear (1:25:07)
It's it's really good. ⁓ I forgot to I forgot to show you the ad on I'm glad this happened. All right. All right. You get back to glazing, you fucking pervert.

Grizz (1:25:11)
