EP 9 | The Lion of Chiraq

Grizz (00:31)
go.

Yeah

Ice Bear (00:39)
sassy little

Grizz (00:40)

Oh this boi... frothy

boi chunky

Ice Bear (01:07)
How much did you spill on yourself?

Grizz (01:09)
Just a couple of drops actually. Not too, not too bad. Especially cause I left it in the freezer too long. So it's a little chunky.

Ice Bear (01:11)
Not bad.

Have I ever ⁓ gone over the pro tip about ice cubes and beer?

Grizz (01:24)
Yes, I still kind of kind of see you as a heretic for that. I'm not sure yet.

Ice Bear (01:29)
So

it's really, you use it in the same vein that you taught me the tajin trick. You do that when it's a mid beer to elevate it. Like if you're just trapped and you're like, here's a Heineken or something, add a couple of cubes of ice. It's pretty good. It's pretty good.

Grizz (01:50)
Is it just because it's colder or just like, okay, that's fair.

Ice Bear (01:52)
Yes, it

doesn't affect the flavor at all. It's just it's a nice little temperature upgrade.

Grizz (01:58)
Okay. That's fair. Cause I was thinking it was going to be some shit like, know, how, like when water dilutes in whiskey, like it kind of changes the flavor profile.

Ice Bear (02:04)
No, no, no, no, it's, it's,

it, I don't, well, my, my palette is not sophisticated enough to register that difference. If there is one, that's a nice one. That is a nice one. ⁓ but I don't think we've discussed this yet. You should tell the people the tajin trick because I can confirm it works and it works well.

Grizz (02:15)
Pretty hazy. It's a pretty hazy.

You see.. for those that are not of latin decent, you see beer salts are great. The heen is superior. Now you have a spicy like so twang. Yeah, y'all y'all don't have twang right. We went through this right. I wonder if it's just a Texas thing or a south thing. So twangs like

Ice Bear (02:51)
Mm-mm. Yeah.

Grizz (02:56)
Like every convenience store or liquor store where you buy beers, Twang has these little, little single use packets or the bottles that you can buy in the beer salts. And they have mild, they have the regular sour one, the spicy, whatever. Tajin which is like fruit powder is what you get, which you put on like the cucumbers and all that stuff. That with any kind of beer with trash beers, light beers, or any kind of citrus or tropical beers, dash of Tajin.

We'll make a C class beer, a fucking B plus, easy.

Ice Bear (03:31)
That's very true. No argument from me. Every time I'm disappointed, I just run to the cabinet and grab a little bit and it really...

Very nice. Hey, what you drinking over there?

Grizz (03:42)
Delicious.

Oh, so me, I've been sent to Seattle for work and I was, and so I've, you know, I've decided, you know what? I'm going to be adventurous. I'm not going to Uber. I'm not going to go to, through the thing. I'm just going to walk. It's a 20 minute walk. Not that bad. And I've been walking across The 9th Ave Market every single day, like twice to and fro.

And in there they have, ⁓ guess it's Pike Brewing company. Yeah. Pike Brewing from Seattle. So it's from Seattle. so Pike Brewing company, they have a tap room there at that, at the ninth street. It's like Pike Avenue or whatever at the summit. Pike Brewing at the summit. I've been passing by it for days. Yesterday. I finally decided. You know what I need? I have.

been saying I'm going to stop and get something before I have to leave and I have to leave tomorrow. So I was like, fuck it. I'm going to go. So I went yesterday.

And so I got beers for the 2B2B and I also had one.

Ice Bear (04:56)
Nice.

Grizz (04:57)
But I only got eight ounces. And so I got two, but I got two different ones. So I'm going rogue.

Ice Bear (05:07)
stylish.

Grizz (05:08)
I'm having, ⁓ it's not a 3B because it's still equals one beer, but I'm having a, ⁓ yeah, that's two half B's and a B. therefore it's, ⁓ yep. But anyways, so this one right here is their Uptown Hazy IPA it is from Pike Brewings.

Ice Bear (05:16)
It's two half B's.

to bees.

Grizz (05:36)
Seattle, Washington, Uptown Hazy. It's a small boy. This is a 6.2, but you know what?

It's...

purty nice. It's pretty nice so far. I am enjoying it.

Ice Bear (05:52)
So I shook that a little too aggressively. almost splashed the screen. You know what this is one that could use? A little Tajin ⁓ But, and you're going to forgive me, I think, once you see the reveal as to the theme of this week. My first one is also a weak little lad. This is from, who is this from? This is from Old Dog Brewing Company.

Grizz (06:02)
Tajin?

Ice Bear (06:23)
Smooth, crisp, refreshing. It's as simple as that. So good, one sip will have you sitting up and begging for more. I can confirm that is false advertising. It is not that good, but the can is fantastic.

This is Yellow Lab Logger.

Grizz (06:42)
That is actually a really awesome game.

Ice Bear (06:44)
All natural,

small batched, unpasteurized, Coartha Lakes crafted, which is up by ⁓ Mother Seal. That's where Coartha Lakes is. So very, very close. ⁓ Man, I... No, I'm not going to get up yet. It's way too early to get up. this could, this would greatly benefit from some Tajin.

Grizz (06:53)

Ice Bear (07:12)
It's, you know what it is? It's, I don't like lagers I don't know why I always forget. I just don't like them.

Grizz (07:21)
Yeah, don't think I like any lagers Like I'll have like a, the only time I like a lager when it's a Mexican one and I'm mixing it with a margarita.

Ice Bear (07:34)
Hmm.

Grizz (07:35)
Like you put it straight into a margarita.

Ice Bear (07:38)
Okay, yeah, I see what saying. Gotcha.

Grizz (07:40)
Like

that's like yesterday because you know. ⁓

You know, things happen. We missed Ochocinco De Mayo And so I had a whole ass bottle of pre-mixed margarita and a Mexican lager. So all.

Ice Bear (07:48)
Mm-hmm.

What did

you have for your Mexican one? What did you find?

Grizz (08:00)

it was the basic one. It's, one I never drank because it's not like super popular in Texas, but I know like West coast people drink it. It's the yellow cans like Pacifica or some shit. I don't, yeah, I don't drink it. I've never really drank it. Like Texas is like Corona and Dos Equis, ⁓ Modelo and then like, fucking what's the other one? ⁓ Jalisco de la Estrella one.

Ice Bear (08:10)
⁓ okay.

Mmm.

Grizz (08:29)
Yeah, those are the popular ones over there. Or the got this popular too. But but that that Pacific one is not popular.

Ice Bear (08:41)
Dos Equis, I don't think that's a particularly good beer, but goddamn, did those commercials work on me? So every time I have one, like, am I the most interesting man in the world now? Did it work?

Grizz (08:50)
Fucking.

You know how much like bars and venues that I've gone through over the years that they have a cut out of that motherfucker there at the bar and every single time everybody's like nice.

Ice Bear (09:02)
I'm sure. that good?

Nice. It was such a... I would say that line of commercials and that one year where the Budweiser frogs were a thing. Like those are like peak beer cinema. Did those go longer than that?

Grizz (09:19)
I think that was more than a year. That was a while.

yeah, because they were, I remember them when I was really young and they had all the Budweiser, or my dad had a Budweiser frog shirt. And there's a "Bud - Weis - Er."

Ice Bear (09:36)
See, in my brain, for some reason, I have misremembered that as like 20 commercials that all came out during one Super Bowl.

Grizz (09:45)
Oh. You know what's hip? Oh, go, go, go, go, go.

Ice Bear (09:48)
So

maybe I'm just, somehow amalgamated all of them and I'm like, they all belong to that.

Grizz (09:55)
I mean, maybe, I mean, you may be right. Cause I'm just saying like, remember them for a long time. So they may have just came out there and then like, I don't know, convenience stores where I had it. I to shit the stuff. Cause like, you know, they're all old. ⁓ I think my favorite beer Superbowl commercial was, I think, I think it was Bud Light. It was Bud Light or Budweiser and it was the Clydesdale horse. Do you remember that one where it was like,

Ice Bear (10:04)
Yeah

Grizz (10:24)
I want to be, yeah,

Ice Bear (10:24)
I anything with the Clydesdales.

Grizz (10:26)
but it was good. Cause it was like, I want to be a Clydesdale, whatever. And he's like describing the Clydesdale, how majestic it is. And then he's like, but the only problem is I was a donkey and it just was a little donkey. And then he had the donkey has a little tassels on it. It's so good.

Ice Bear (10:38)
Yeah.

Yeah, no, that's a good one. Also, we've been talking. We both really want a donkey.

Grizz (10:51)
Dude, donkeys are so fucking dope. See, donkeys are like everybody's friends, but they're also extremely territorial and like defensive of property. So they're fucking awesome.

Ice Bear (10:59)
Yeah, they're great. There's just nothing not

to like about them. They will cuddle like a dog will cuddle and then yeah, they'll absolutely kick the shit out of a coyote if they come at you.

Grizz (11:05)
Yeah.

I fucking love them. They're like, so, cause me and the tigers talked about like, know, plans and stuff, what we want to do and everything. need donkeys. She's pretty set up donkey name. like my donkey name got kicked out even though I've wanted this donkey donkey name forever. So I'm saying you.

Ice Bear (11:25)
What was yours? What was yours? And

then what's winning?

Grizz (11:28)
So I think she wants Dennis or Daxter for the donkey's names because they can just yell out Dennis or Daxter and so like I'm like, okay, that works. that's fine ⁓ but the one that I think is the best good donkeys are everybody's friends. And then you, if you, if you, don't have a donkey name, y'all can have this donkey name. If y'all just named the donkey, Aniki

Ice Bear (11:51)
Aniki's a good name.

Grizz (11:53)
Cause these donkeys are everybody's friends.

Ice Bear (11:57)
That's a good name.

Grizz (11:58)
That's great name for a fucking donkey.

Ice Bear (12:01)
Hear me out though. You ready for the one I had in mind?

Grizz (12:05)
Do it, Let me see

Ice Bear (12:07)
Are you emotionally prepared? I need you to, yeah, put your beer down. Get ready. All right. You got your ears all prepped?

Grizz (12:13)
All right, all go, go.

Do it.

Ice Bear (12:19)
Donkey-xote

Grizz (12:22)
Okay. ⁓

Ice Bear (12:23)
Tell me that's not

a good name for a donkey.

Grizz (12:26)
man, that's almost as good as Traxl Rose.

Ice Bear (12:36)
That's another one of my finest works.

Grizz (12:40)
"you know where you are? you in the jungle baby. ugh"

Ice Bear (12:41)
Ha ha ha

have I told you they play that Bengals games like every game because they call they call the they call it the jungle like they call since

Grizz (12:48)
Don't really. ⁓ that's actually, yeah.

Yeah. No, fucking duh Right. Yeah. I mean, that's worth it. It's, it's, it's a fucking anthem for sure.

Ice Bear (12:57)
so they they will play that every game

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Grizz (13:05)
There's worse. I mean, like, look, I love the Creed meme, but I've hated Creed my entire life because my mom loved Creed and I heard I grew up listening to 'em I always make fun of 'em And then the Creed came. My favorite thing to do was just saying I'm I was go, whoa. you were. I feel angry.

Ice Bear (13:15)
With arms wide open

Grizz (13:36)
You know, do all the time. So I've always, always trash creed, but it's so funny that creed is like, was like just being blasted at Texas Rangers games when they were winning the fucking, and then they were like dominating '22 to 2023 So it was like, came full circle and I was like, all right, the creed memes made me like hate them less. So, all right.

Ice Bear (13:50)
Amazing.

So who do you think, or if you know, please inform me, who is the person in charge of the, you know, like mid at bats in baseball game entertainment? Because like the Dodgers have like the random like anime girls that come on the thing.

Grizz (14:17)
Dude, that's so fucking good. Like once they started

doing it, I was like, I hate the Dodgers, but the two things they got going for them is like the VTubers that they started doing last year. And then, ⁓ because of the Japanese player, they, they, ⁓ this year they, they just did the special editions like, ⁓ LA Dodgers, sakura jerseys. And so it's, and so it's a Dodgers jerseys, the same just Dodgers blue, whatever.

Ice Bear (14:24)
Yeah.

Grizz (14:46)
but it just has sakura pedals going through it. And I'm like, fuck, man, that's fucking good.

Ice Bear (14:51)
That sounds really cool.

Grizz (14:52)
Yeah, that was really good. was like, damn.

Ice Bear (14:56)
That's like the Raptors have a really great alternate Chinese New Year jersey. It's very cool looking.

Grizz (15:05)
Mmm.

Yeah, the, the, so the Texas Rangers with like the whole, they'll do all like the city connection stuff and everything, but they'll also do like special edition, like goings at one of the games. I think it was like one of them that I was here and I kind of wanted to know, think it's in June. Um, but it's like for the first X amount of people that go to the stadium, they can get it right. Uh, they have, they have, uh, Chinese new year year of the snake Texas Rangers Jersey. And it looks like it dope as shit.

Ice Bear (15:15)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (15:37)
I showed the tiger which I showed the tiger she's like "I don't like snakes." I was like "fine."

Ice Bear (15:37)
awesome.

I hope they do it again for year of the honse

Grizz (15:47)
Year of the Honse

Ice Bear (15:48)
Year of the Honse When is that coming up? I don't know the order of the Chinese zodiac.

Grizz (15:52)
Neither do I. So you're a honse so you're right after me. No, you're right, but you're right before me. Yeah, yeah, because saying, oh, thank you. You're a rabbit. You're fast.

Ice Bear (15:56)
No, I'm not a honse I'm a rabbit.

I'm a little basket. Okay, so are you ready for depressing though? So a lot of Americans, and obviously I grew up in Maryland, they don't understand that the Chinese year is not the same as our year, right? Like it starts in February most of the time. So my birthday being January, I didn't know this because a lot of the books and information I had access to growing up said, if you're born in

Grizz (16:08)
I'm a goat or a sheep.

Ice Bear (16:35)
88 you're a dragon. So I thought I was a dragon until I was like 12 when someone was like "No dumb dumb That's not like the Chinese year cycle. It doesn't work like that You're like it didn't kick in until February". So like I'm actually a rabbit, but I thought I was a dragon for such a long time. So what a We're just like a man like now it doesn't bother me at all But imagine being a 12 year old boy and you go from dragon to rabbit

Grizz (16:54)
No!

Well, like I'm a kid, like two rabbit.

Ice Bear (17:03)
It's a rough drop off.

Grizz (17:03)
Yeah. The best, the best one is my aunt and my uncle who my aunt's like very much like a fire breather. Like she's a very strong woman that'll like, fuck your shit up. And my uncle's like a lovable hippie guy from the seventies. So like, you know, just kind of grew up, but he's just super nice and kind of.

You know, of dopey you in like an endearing way. Super awesome and kind. He is a rat and she is a snake.

Ice Bear (17:39)
I think, pretty sure Sierra's a rat.

If I'm not mistaken. When is honse? Honse is 2026 next year is honse. So all I gotta do is wait one more year, then I get a sweet Rangers honse and that would be really easy for them to do. You could have a really cool cowboy riding honse.

Grizz (17:52)
⁓ shit.

⁓ yeah.

just a red and gold cowboy. Right now. Right. right. So for my real quick because I because I'm burning a whole ⁓ half of a B

Ice Bear (18:04)
Red and Gold Cowboy.

and

Grizz (18:16)
B plus solid beer. Like it, enjoyed it. I had it on draft yesterday. The cans. It's just, good. Now my other half B same place. This one's slightly stronger. It's a 7.2. And since I am in Seattle, I had to get a West coast.

Ice Bear (18:39)

Grizz (18:45)
And so this West Coast EBA is called the Space Needle and it has a whole thing for that. So I figured this is one of the perfect beers to get for this trip.

Ice Bear (18:54)
I love it.

have you been to anywhere near the space needle yet? Or that's totally on the other side of the city from where you're from.

Grizz (19:10)
Uh, so I'm like pretty downtown. So it's not, it's actually not really far. Um, I mean, I've seen the space needle like 10 years ago, probably a little longer. Yeah. But I've never been like in it or like acts like any of the things with it, but I've like been at the street and see it and like, nice. That's about it.

Ice Bear (19:21)
It hasn't changed then.

It's

one of those things where any structure that's just like the draw to it is big. They're all kind of let downs for me because I went like when I was younger, I've been to the Willis Tower. I've been to the Empire State, but so I've been to like much taller stuff. So when I go to something like the Space Needle, I'm like, all right, so that's just like one third of the height of something I've already.

been to the top of like I can imagine being that high. don't need to see things from up. They're not that interesting once you get up there.

Grizz (20:08)
That's fair. What I like about these things is, um, how cities kind of just always have a tower. And so like, like the different towers in the cities. Like San Antonio has the, I don't know the fuck it's called. I it's sort of union tower. And I think it's the same thing in Dallas or maybe I'm just complaining to do, but San Antonio has one and it's like very, um, blocky, right. And it has a needle on top. Dallas has one versus the fucking orb on top.

Ice Bear (20:34)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (20:37)
It has like, and it's had led lights. So like it changes, you know, when like the Cowboys win or the Rangers win or something or Mavs win and kind of goes to it. So it's that's super cool and it's super close to the highway. like when every time I'm driving home and I'm like, can, and I'm not paying attention to the game, they're like, shit, the stars one. You know what I mean? Like it's kind of, it's cool. I like that.

Ice Bear (20:56)
That is cool.

I do like the, like you said, like the lighting up with the colors of whatever your city's team is. That is cool. Like that's a nice touch. It's a good little, like, if you're sitting in traffic and you're like, ⁓ nice. Like you said, good.

Grizz (21:10)
Yeah. So like,

so I do like each city has their own little kind of thing. So like, do like that. Seattle has a space needle. I think that's cool. Do I really want to like, after I see it once I'm like, okay, I'm done. Like, I'm good. Like I liked it as they, I, I'd rather be there than not be there. But after I see it one time, I'm good. Like.

Ice Bear (21:30)
Sure. Sure. Like, yeah, no,

I'm glad it's there, but I'm just, I'm not paying 40 bucks to get to the top of it.

Grizz (21:38)
Yes, you will.

Ice Bear (21:39)
And also, according to a quick WebberNet search, the space needle is 605 feet tall.

Grizz (21:49)
That was Toronto Tower, I'll tell it out motherfucker.

Ice Bear (21:51)
The CN Tower in my beloved Toronto is 1800 feet tall. So you have like the space, the space needle is, you know, it's sitting in the cuck chair, just looking sad.

Grizz (22:02)
down.

Ice Bear (22:11)
It's just being like, I want to be a CN tower.

Grizz (22:14)
be fair anything in the Pacific Northwest would probably fit just fine in a cup chair.

Ice Bear (22:19)
That's, hey, does your room have a cuck chair?

Grizz (22:24)
It does not.

Ice Bear (22:26)
my God. You just you exuded too much big bear energy. And they're like this guy, we better take that chair out of the room.

Grizz (22:27)
or cuss.

True. You don't need it.

Yeah. Cause I have, I have a clean size bed. I have a couch with like the Ottoman thing where it pulls out into another full size bed. And then I have a desk. I have two desks. I guess I get desk table thing and a desk desk like where I'm at now. And so it's not too bad actually. But you know, Seattle's been great. I like Seattle. ⁓

Ice Bear (22:50)
you

I like it.

Grizz (23:01)
Hippies are cool here and there. A lot of, a lot of tweakers, a lot of like, you know, I always like, every time I go to, every time I go to

like west coast areas, I realized like, okay, so the people back home, they'd be like, those guys are like, you know, they're like progressive lefties or like kind of like, or like woke kind of wimpy people stuff, like whatever, whatever flavor you want to put them into that thing. I realized that they are way more like.

Not that, then compare to it, go to the West coast. I'm like, ⁓ like the people back home, they're like, they're still kind of based and like rugged a little bit, even like the kind of more whining at once. Then the same, the same like breed of people here are like not, it's, it's, it's so like, I'm always like, God damn.

Ice Bear (24:05)
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm. ⁓

Grizz (24:07)
I forget like, like I, I see the difference between the same like genre of people. I'm like, damn.

Even this genre of people can't escape some Texas, when they're in Texas.

Ice Bear (24:20)
Yeah, I mean...

location matters. It really does. Where you grow up, really shapes the type of person you become. So, You take that ideology and you shove it through a Texan filter and you come out, rootin' and tootin'.

Grizz (24:34)
Yeah, but it's.

Yeah, because even like the more like more like progressive like types, even they're like, still packing. They're still packing.

Ice Bear (24:50)
Can

you please give me the hand motion for progressive types again?

Grizz (24:55)
I don't

even know what that means, I'm just trying to ⁓

Ice Bear (25:04)
Let that be a lesson to you for, all right, let's just do the quick math. We hit that big number today for downloads. I'm going to say realistically, 40 of them maybe are progressive. If we're doing just normal American averages, I think it's 40.

Grizz (25:13)
actually.

Maybe more because we got some Canadians.

Ice Bear (25:25)
And we are progressive folk up here. So let's say 50.

Grizz (25:28)
Yeah, because even like the conservative Canadians are still fairly progressive compared to like Texas. Yeah.

Ice Bear (25:36)
Yes, that's true. So so

the bulk the bulk of the dear listeners and viewers.

Grizz (25:43)
You're this.

Ice Bear (25:49)
That's a great... I don't know why that got me so hard. That's a good hand motion. ⁓ You know what didn't get me hard at all? ⁓ Yellow Lab Lager is... Sans Tajin. This is... God, I don't like being mean. You know what we're gonna do? We're gonna be honest. But we're gonna give praise where praise is due. The can is a B+.

Grizz (26:10)
Be honest.

Give

a compliment sandwich. something nice, be brutally honest, and then say something nice again.

Ice Bear (26:17)
Yeah, can: B+

beer is our first D- I can't fail it because it's not like swill. Like I'm not going to spit it out, but it's pretty undrinkable. I would not want this again, but hey, nice can.

Grizz (26:26)
Mmm.

Ice Bear (26:39)
For real, the can's quite nice.

Grizz (26:42)
So, uh-oh, tiger intermission

⁓ so the tiger's very Cantonese mom.

asked what the hell I was doing because you saw me and then she didn't know how to I don't know how to describe podcasting in Cantonese and so she's she's like my mom's like

Ice Bear (27:17)
Ra-radio host.

Grizz (27:25)
Gaming? And then so she's like, yeah, I'm playing League. Yeah. Yeah. So like, we're gaming with, he's just gaming with my best friend.

Ice Bear (27:27)
There, sure. Yeah, that's what we're doing. Yes, there we go. Perfect. It's counter strike. It's just counter strike all day.

So, so, so.

So here's my follow-up question to you. Do you want me to go have, because that was a weak little boy. I didn't mention that. That yellow lab was a...

Grizz (27:57)
four five.

Ice Bear (27:59)
It's a 4.3. So it's basically water. Now, I had a Cinco de Mayo one that we had failed to enjoy due to circumstances that is light. I could grab that. if you want, I can get right into my second, which is an actual beer.

Grizz (28:02)
Oof.

Yeah, it really is water.

So I have about this much left of my, my second half. So if you can drink your sink in a mile on fairly quickly, I say you should do it.

Ice Bear (28:30)
that's a fun challenge. I kind of like that. All right.

Grizz (28:33)
do it. You gotta

you gotta chug the Otrosync. You have to catch up with Otrosync and you have to give your best Otrosync lines while you do it.

Ice Bear (28:46)
no, not Ochocinco lines. Ochocinco is now unfortunately captured in the same net as our boy Shannon. I don't know if I want to get into that.

Grizz (28:56)
Look, until,

until hard evidence comes out, believing nothing. Cause I will always believe that celebrities are shitty people, but I will also always believe that shitty people that are powerful will also attract the shitty like Placo fish that want to suck the teat of them. too. So until things happen,

Where it's like, motherfucker, you a piece of shit. you know. Like, it's easy we can say, you know, like R Kelly, you a piece of shit. Right? He's easy. He's easy.

Ice Bear (29:33)
Mm.

Grizz (29:37)
So, unless it's like that, then I'm gonna be like.

I'm going to assume I'm going to like you and assume your piece of shit and kind of just keep it that way.

Ice Bear (29:46)
Very good. Very good. All right. Here's

here's your project while I'm away, which is not going to be a far track. It's 12 feet. ⁓ Breaking news. You're welcome, folks. First breaking news in a while. Pacquiao is ending his retirement and he will fight Barrios for the WBC belt go.

Grizz (30:07)
Wait, is that actually real?

Ice Bear (30:10)
Sorry, you clearly spoke to me. What?

Grizz (30:13)
⁓ wait, is that actually real or just a bit?

Ice Bear (30:15)
No, this isn't a bit. is real. I'm reading like headlines. Yeah, I'm reading headlines right now. Yeah. Yes. Have fun. I'll be right back. And he's 46.

Grizz (30:17)
This is real?

my lord. Pacquiao. Okay look.

Yeah so. Fuck. I love Pacquiao. That dude I remember. So Grizz. Boxing's really big in Grizz's family. My mom. Professional boxer from when I was a youngin. So boxing's big here.

I love Pacquiao. I remember having big old family parties and watching Pacquiao and stuff. 46 years old, 46 years old, man. don't think you can beat that age. I'll watch the fight and I'm going to be rooting for my man. You know, I still jam his fucking mixtape every Christmas, but I'm worried about him. Yeah, his Christmas carol, his Christmas songs.

Ice Bear (31:06)
Podcast mixtape.

Pacquiao, when you think about a multi-faceted lad, what a guy. Great boxer. Senator, if I'm not mistaken. Voice of an angel.

Grizz (31:18)
Elvis.

And he has his own holiday, doesn't he? Like he has a pack-care day?

Ice Bear (31:27)
I mean, yeah, I didn't know they made an official holiday, but like anytime he fights, it is a holiday there.

Grizz (31:34)
That's true. Like I, so I remember, ⁓ you know, yeah. So I remember from the, previous chapters in all Grizz life. I remember.

Ice Bear (31:38)
You talk, I got catching up.

Grizz (31:52)
⁓ so I was talking to somebody that was visiting home in the Philippines during, during the Pacquiao, ⁓ Mayweather fight. And so I'm here back in Texas and we're in the middle of the night. We're all having a pay-per-view party and we're all partying and stuff like, you know, like, like the, like the Mesquite do. Well, back over there in the Philippines, they were literally theaters are playing the

So they could go to, so there would be no power out just so they can go out to the, all the theaters in the city. Like, and we're not talking about like small town from like Manila and like Gavi dance stuff. It was, they were like basically shutting up power grids to just go to the main tub. So like all the theaters could play the fight and so all everybody can just go and watch.

Ice Bear (32:25)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (32:50)
Pacquiao fight my weather.

Ice Bear (32:52)
Yeah. I'm trying to remember. So Hawaii was very similar like Hawaii kind of shuts down when he's fighting. Because they have a very large Filipino population. So, I don't know if you remember, maybe 2011 2012 somewhere around the heat fought Ricky Hatton. Yeah.

Grizz (32:54)
like

Yeah.

Yeah, that was a lot. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ice Bear (33:22)
And so that the the under cards were all terrible and that fight ended super quickly. Paco dropped him in the first or the second, I think. Yeah. And I remember that party. I was the only lad of honky persuasion and it was ⁓ the great joy of everyone involved to make me bloot. And I was just like, this doesn't bother me. This isn't my first roadie.

Grizz (33:30)
I think it was the first.

Yes.

Ice Bear (33:51)
I'll eat all your weird little embryo ducky eggs. I'm fine with it. Bring them at me.

Grizz (33:56)
Cause I

have you had you, you've had bullet, right? Yeah. You know, the weirdest thing is about it. Cause it's basically a duck shop, shop crap.

Ice Bear (34:00)
Yeah, many times.

Mm-hmm. That's a good way to compare it.

Grizz (34:11)
Yeah. Cause like, cause he, cause you see a crab and I can't bite to the shell and then you get a soft shell crab and you bite through that shell. like, Oh, that's weird. So I'm doing a bullet. It's the little bones and the beak and stuff. It's like, I can't bite through that, but then you do.

Ice Bear (34:17)
Yeah.

the so that's

so that's the thing and I think a lot of people that have never had it don't realize that there's a from what I've been told there's an internal game with newcomers that they find the like hardest beak like the most formed one to give to that person as a quiet chuckle because not all of them are like that like I don't know if you've had one that's not fully formed but some of them are almost like

Grizz (34:41)
That's all fucked up.

Yeah, was saying, it just tastes like a super egg. It just tastes like a super eggy duck egg.

Ice Bear (34:50)
Like a hard boiled egg almost.

Grizz (34:59)
No, the one thing, the one thing I'm not a huge fan of vinegar. I'll have it in hot sauce. What's about it? So the one thing, so I could eat the blue like just like regular and I was like, fine. But when I try to eat it right and they put the vinegar on, I was like, couldn't, I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do I couldn't do it.

Ice Bear (35:11)
Yeah, no, the vinegar is not good. Vinegar is not good at all.

⁓ Let me tell you this is this is a palette cleanser after a little yellow lab boy

Grizz (35:29)
Let me see what you got, howdy.

Ice Bear (35:31)
This,

this by the way, this would have been for Cinco de Mayo had we done it on time. is This is Ocho Cinco de Mayo. Let me tell you, rocket science isn't just for orbital mechanics. It's for brewing great beer too. This incredibly tropical light EEPA will take you on adventures that are out of this world. With El Dorado and Luminosa dry hops, boosters are fired, all systems are going, you are ready to launch.

Grizz (35:34)
It's ultra sync with the mile.

Ice Bear (36:00)
This is rocket science.

Grizz (36:04)
love that. So so how did that? So what is is it the Eldorado that makes it Otschusenker of Maya?

Ice Bear (36:11)
Also, it's like the primary flavor is lime.

Grizz (36:15)
That's fair. That's good. It's pretty certain. It's a pretty certain thing that lime goes with, goes with, I just thinking of my own. There's not a lot of things so certain in life either. Right. This is very few things, but there's only three things that are certain in life. Death, taxes, 80 and 85 will always be open.

Ice Bear (36:35)
Death, lime with Jessica.

Grizz (36:46)
Yeah

Ice Bear (36:54)
Hmm. Beautiful. Good times. Good times. Okay, so once again, prior to this episode, when we were workshopping, when we were having our editors meeting, if you will, we were spitballing things to talk about trying to be organized, worrying about filling time. And here we are 40 minutes in. I don't think we talked about a single thing we thought about.

Grizz (37:26)
Seattle I'm inside you right now and you know what? Here's the thing. I've been fighting for my life all this time with these fucking Mariner vans and it's been pissing me off. I haven't been pissing me off. They're nice, but still look

My boys have been getting their ass kicked by the Red Sox. They got swept today. Zero to five. Terrible. We lost by one point the last game. We won the first game or won the game two games ago. yeah, we're one and three got swept today. It's been bad. Rangers. We were starting. We were going. Beautiful. We were going off strong beginning of the season, but

I blame Seattle after the Mariners. Rangers has just been off their game. I blame Seattle. I'm in Seattle. So as much as city is cool, I spitting on you.

Ice Bear (38:25)
Who's your favorite Mariner of all time?

Do you even have one?

I have two that pop in my head that it's hard for me to pick.

Grizz (38:38)
Iron Maiden song, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.

Ice Bear (38:44)
Yep, yep, that's an option. That's an option I didn't see coming. ⁓

Grizz (38:53)
I'm too salty to be nice to them right now.

Ice Bear (38:55)
that that's fair. I really enjoyed and this says a lot because I did not like baseball growing up like I had the most passing of interests. ⁓ Ichiro was awesome. He was super fun to watch. And Ken Griffey Jr.

Grizz (39:13)
Yeah, I with with ⁓ with the mariner fans i've been fighting for my life and because they because they were like they'd come in and they'd be like They're in for that back there Like yeah, that's my ranger's hat back there who's else would it be i'm the only one here from texas, bro but but yeah ⁓ we we've had plenty of good talks about boy

Ice Bear (39:26)
you

Mm. Yeah.

Grizz (39:45)
He was a good lad. I'm just too salted to be nice.

Ice Bear (39:49)
So speaking of coworkers and hat warfare, ⁓ bless you in advance. Bless you, bless you, bless you. Blue cow, did you hold it off?

Grizz (40:04)
Thank you. ⁓ shit. God damn. That was Ross fighting for my life during there to get that one out. ⁓

Ice Bear (40:10)
I really, I really thought you

you dodged it and then there it was. That's great. OK.

Grizz (40:15)
I thought so too until I got back up and I like, nope. fuck.

Ice Bear (40:19)
so my beloved Habbies here this is one of the most recognized logos on the planet like everyone immediately knows Habs as you know even Korea as you know yes that's right you forgot I told you about the guy in Dongdaemun that was cool that was very cool but Delaware not so much like there's this stray caps fan here and there there's a stray Flyers fan that knows but not a ton of hockey fans it's a you know

Grizz (40:30)
Even Korea.

Ice Bear (40:49)
football. Like that's the sport. ⁓ So a lot of the time I'd be walking through the mall. And I used to have a big like giant Habs logo like jacket, like big like full chest logo. And people compliment it, but they'd be like, Yo, I haven't seen the champion logo in a long time. It does kind of look like champion doesn't it?

Grizz (41:09)
It really does.

To be fair, it really does look like a champion logo.

Ice Bear (41:13)
So anyway, I think the Habs should sue Champion because they're way older than Champion is.

Grizz (41:19)
do it.

Ice Bear (41:23)
I like it.

Grizz (41:25)
Alright.

Ice Bear (41:27)
It's good. It's good. It's Well.

Grizz (41:33)
How's that all? Limey, but treating ya.

Ice Bear (41:38)
It's much better than the first one. ⁓ Now, in fairness, it might be because the first one was so terrible, but it's definitely going to be a higher grade. Absolutely going to be a higher grade.

Grizz (41:53)
I'd hoped it'd be higher than the fucking D-minus.

Ice Bear (41:56)
Is that the worst one yet? man. Yeah. We've both at one point or another had ones that we had to like actually dump.

Grizz (41:58)
on the app.

And on the podcast, yes, because I've had worse with you and I.

Yeah, that fucking

Ice Bear (42:11)
few and far between but man there were some there were some duds.

Grizz (42:16)
Episode 44.

Ice Bear (42:20)
You really want to torture us,

Grizz (42:22)
Yeah, I already, I already know the two that I'm going to get. I already know. I already know the three I'm going to get. Like if we, we do three, like we could do where we do two and if we dump one out, we're going have to do the other one, but you do whatever we do or like.

Ice Bear (42:25)
Okay.

⁓ hear me

out. Hear me out. got an idea. This is, this is pretty high concept. If you have to dump out any part of your beer, every second of pour, you have to dump out. like, if it takes you three seconds to dump it out, you have to take three shots of Malort.

Grizz (43:01)
That's a...

Ice Bear (43:01)
one shot

of Malort per second of dump.

Grizz (43:04)
fuck that guy

Ice Bear (43:06)
And just

don't pour out any more of that.

Grizz (43:09)
You say that, but you've never had Malart, right?

Ice Bear (43:12)
He knows wild though. After you and I were talking about how much you hate Malort, that day I bet I had like seven TikToks about Malort.

Grizz (43:13)
Yeah.

I so I remember so the person I had my Lord with she's like an older like Jewish lady. ⁓ Super nice but like, you know, it'd be a kind of like after work drinks like a whole group would go out you know have whatever she she would they were regulars at this place to where like the bartender just kept bottles in the back for them. And she had a bottle of malort back there. And she'd be like, you

Ice Bear (43:39)
The old Pau Hana.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (43:53)
You're out with us. You guys try this fucking Malort and she'd fucking do the shot with me and she's just like downs that shit likes it. She's like, I don't like the bed. I had it and I was like.

It's like a, I, you know, like, like, ⁓ nine volt battering and a dirty bowl. It was terrible. It wasn't good. And so like after that, and then she's like a fucking amazing Baker too. Right. So then like months later, cause she knows I fucking hate more. Cause after that, cause she's just cracked the fuck up. Cause I was like, right. Cause granted the entire time, like I'm just drinking straight whiskey.

And like everybody's drinking whatever. I'm just drinking straight whiskey or whatever. And then the more thing happened and like, uh, you thought you had this, whatever rough palette. No, you don't. You a bitch. Right. And, so, and so she's an amazing Baker. She's like, I made a bunch of cookies. I also made my Lord cookies. And it was like, fuck it. Give me one. Take a bite. Nothing but my Lord is like, Oh, cringe to the high heavens. It was horrible.

Ice Bear (44:45)
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. ⁓

sounds rough. ⁓

Grizz (45:06)
can't do them alert. Absolutely cannot do

them alert.

Ice Bear (45:11)
Have you ever had a absinthe?

Grizz (45:14)
Yeah. The worst way worse. Cause I'm absent. It's not terrible. It's super medicinal. Super. I've had a couple of different Athens, very medicinal. It's like all of the medicine, new flavors from Yeager times 10 for absent. Well, Lord's like times 20 and then like add a ton of warm wood in it.

Ice Bear (45:35)
Okay. there's Wormwood and Mallort?

Grizz (45:37)
It does what it tastes like to me, at least.

Ice Bear (45:39)
Interesting.

I didn't know that. I would hate Malort. I mean, I already figured I'd hate it, but like, I think I'd really hate it now. Okay. Have you seen the people that make Nyquil and Zeekwill now make Painquill?

Grizz (45:42)
It just... It's fucking terrible.

Dude, I saw that shit, I need to try it.

Ice Bear (45:59)
It's 10%.

Grizz (46:01)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (46:03)
It's hold on now. I'm just going to fact check us because I feel like that might be fake. No, no, it's real.

Grizz (46:08)
Alright,

episode, episode 110 shots of the pink will. Live.

Ice Bear (46:20)
You know I'll do it.

Grizz (46:22)
I'll do it.

Ice Bear (46:24)
Okay,

hold on. Let's hold on. Is this gonna guess? Was it illegal? I think it was legal. Did you ever get into drank?

Grizz (46:32)
What's drink by coding? Yeah. The coding. Yeah. Is it's you do jolly ranchers coding and sprite. I've had it. I mean like I'm from tech. I'm from Texas. Yeah. Celine.

Ice Bear (46:34)
like, like the cough syrup. Yeah.

Yeah. ⁓

I, I, I, I don't know.

I don't know why I think I heard this was back in high school says, you know, young and dumb. And in my head, I knew that little Wayne was a fan of it. So when I, when I became of drinking age, I was like, I want to try some of that. And I tried some of that. And I was like,

Grizz (47:01)
Yeah. South.

Ice Bear (47:10)
I see the appeal. I like it. There's something to this.

Grizz (47:13)
Yeah. Cody. Yeah.

So, so look, man, like from Texas, Houston, Scrooge in Texas, like all, all the stuff lean is huge, right? Like Lee lean is like synonymous with Texas. get like, there's that weekend song, king of the fall. And he's like, ⁓ he was like, poured up like,

What the fuck's the lyrics to fucking King of the Fall? But he even says, ⁓ King of the Fall.

And it's funny because it's like one of my favorite songs from him too, but I just forget it. Uh, yeah. He's like, I'm adding up, add it up. I just ate a plate for breakfast, put it in a cup that I mixed it up with Texas. Like some all lean like lean, like coding is sprite and fucking jolly Rangers synonymous with Texas. Like it's just fucking huge here. Yeah. Like it's huge here. So like, I mean, it's huge in the South in general. Right. So like,

Ice Bear (48:12)
interesting.

Grizz (48:18)
Texas is weird, I get to South, but it's like not the South.

Ice Bear (48:22)
You're your own thing for sure.

Grizz (48:24)
Yeah. But like, yeah, but lean is like huge. I don't know how many like tech, I don't know how many Texas rapper songs is about lean. Like one of my favorites is called styrofoam cup. And it's like, it's just being on my styrofoam cup. I like, like, like something full of lean on my end, ⁓ a cup full of lean and pocket full of blunt. It's like, it's just like, lean is synonymous with Texas.

Ice Bear (48:51)
Now is that song better or is Red Solo Cup? I'll fill you up. It's time to party. Proceed to party. What's a better song?

Grizz (49:05)
Great

song, but you know, like Texas supremacy. So Texas rapper, we're about to lean in a sire from CUP.

Ice Bear (49:13)
I like it. I need to hear yours.

Grizz (49:15)
Yeah, it's it's it's good It's good stuff

Ice Bear (49:19)
I'll play it as soon as we're done. I need to hear it. ⁓

This is going to be a...

C plus.

Grizz (49:33)
C plus, okay, dang, you had some pretty low hitters. So you had D minus.

Ice Bear (49:39)
Yeah.

Yep, and a C+. Nothing to write home about so far.

Grizz (49:48)
So why C plus?

Ice Bear (49:51)
So it's it's markedly better than the first one. It has the appeal of the lime, which is pretty strong in the aftertaste. But it's still just.

It's watery. this is another light one. I think this was a five or a...

Yeah, five. it's, you know, it's when you're used to what we're used to drinking, it's just kind of disappointing. I need my pain quill level alcohol. I need 10 percent.

Grizz (50:23)
That's fair. Yeah, no, that's 1000 % fair. I totally get that.

That

sounds interesting also.

Ice Bear (50:42)
Do you think 10

shots of pain cool like that might be alcohol poisoning? You don't think so?

Grizz (50:45)
Nah, nah, I think we are right.

I think we are right. We just, cause how much fluid ounces is that? It's not that much.

Ice Bear (50:53)
20.

Shots two ounces.

Grizz (50:55)
her.

Yeah, so 20. So I mean, like we drink a 10 % beer that's 16 right there.

Ice Bear (51:03)
Yeah, but it's not mixed with painkillers, man. Like, that's not good for you.

Grizz (51:11)
What if we were to do five each, ten total?

Ice Bear (51:16)
Look, I'm going to try it either way. I'm just saying it's probably not going to...

Grizz (51:19)
I'm

curious. Like, what if you just shoot for five? You know, like shoot for the moon and land among the stars? You know, shoot for 10, hit five. Two beat, two beat, you know, like it's not bad.

Ice Bear (51:29)
Okay.

I also like that. I think the trajectory of this podcast, this is what this is going to be episode nine.

Grizz (51:42)
Episode a hundred or episode a thousand fucking black tar heroin. Here we go

Ice Bear (51:53)
just like we change all the headers and all like the Google descriptions and everything. It's it's a not very lighthearted podcast about two lads slowly descending into addiction.

Grizz (51:56)
you

That's so good. That's so good.

Ice Bear (52:21)
But really, like, this is now... How many have there been this many? It's to be... It's to be... Just... To be determined to be.

To be TBDB.

Grizz (52:33)
That's fair. We've been hit.

Look, I don't blame us. I blame the weak ass beers that we ended up finding for these. it's mandatory or we need another.

Ice Bear (52:46)
That's fair. That's very fair. Okay. Here's my thought. Yeah, you're done with yours, right?

Grizz (52:50)
So with that being so yeah,

I need to go grab mine because I'm not prepared because I'm in the hotel room

Ice Bear (52:56)
So yeah, you go grab that. me a prompt.

Grizz (53:00)
The prompt is last time you, you subverted me and you talked about how you should donate to your local animal shelter. Now I want you to play devil's advocate and say why you shouldn't donate to an animal shelter. Ready? Set. Go.

Ice Bear (53:12)
Yes.

Okay, all right, this is very good. There's a number of reasons why you should ⁓ donate to your local animal shelters. One, oftentimes the employees are underpaid. Look at him coming back so fast. just, what a guy, what a guy. That was not nearly enough time to discuss my talking point.

Grizz (53:48)
I'm in a small ass hotel room. I don't got part of travel.

Ice Bear (53:51)
Yeah, okay. In fairness,

in fairness, I was just gonna tell them to donate to animal shelters against. It's probably just as well you came back when you did.

Grizz (54:04)
I need them money.

Ice Bear (54:06)
The only thing I will say is if if your local animal shelter is part of a larger conglomerate, just do do charity navigator, make sure the money is actually going to animals. Because there are some out there, unfortunately, that are you're just kind of paying a CEO for being a CEO.

Grizz (54:20)
us.

Yeah. As one of those things where like, I get it a little bit. Like you want to be competitive to get the best people to run your shit. I get all that, but like, you know, when it's like, when it's, you know, 30, 40 % of the revenue generated from donations. So it's a little, a little much. I'm just saying.

Ice Bear (54:30)
Uh-huh.

Grizz (55:00)
So we got one crack going let me get this crack going ⁓ my lord that looks fucking heavenly

Ice Bear (55:11)
Yeah, that's a much better color, much, much better color.

Oh, and it smells nice. Oh, thank God. This is going to be one good one today. OK. So do you want to introduce yours or can I go ahead?

Grizz (55:27)
You go, I'm pouring mine. Mine's frothy. It's gonna be...

Ice Bear (55:29)
Okay, I'm excited. One,

because you'll see where I was going with the first one, two, because this, initially, like the smell of it is great. And also this is, you're going to know the brewery because I've had a few like bangers with this one. So this is from Bellwood's Brewery. you'll remember they did the jalapeno one that was like a 12. ⁓ they did the mango one that was like a 10. So they do like a lot of heavy. ⁓ that looks good too.

That looks good too. Okay. This is Brewed and Packed by Bellwoods Brewery of Toronto, Ontario. This is an IPA. Not terribly strong, but still much better than the first two. It's a 7.1.

Cat Lady IPA. ⁓

Grizz (56:21)

That's great fucking art though. I love that art.

Ice Bear (56:28)
I really like it too. so, ⁓ cat dog, cat dog alone in the world of little cat dog.

Grizz (56:30)
Cat dog.

or the wind's low.

I fucking love that show so much.

Ice Bear (56:43)
Cat dog was really good. ⁓ quick quick segue and then we'll we'll get back into cat dog because that's worth talking about. So today we were picking up some some treats for the dog goes and ⁓ we were at one of these pet stores that has like an adoption corner and there was a little little meow a little kitty and her name was Tessa and she was very cute.

Grizz (57:05)
Zero.

Ice Bear (57:08)
and the seal and I were playing with this cat for a long time. If we didn't have dogs that would almost assuredly murder it within five minutes, I think I could go for a cat, man. I think I could be a cat person.

Grizz (57:21)
⁓ I love dogs. I love dogs. So I just like, actually just love animals. Right. Like, so like whatever kind of furry or not, like I just, you know, have an affinity towards them. I like dogs a lot, but like, ⁓ I mean, I swore off of cats forever after bandit died, but, ⁓ bless you. But, ⁓

Ice Bear (57:42)
Kato

Grizz (57:48)
Yeah, I don't know, man. Like I think people that don't like cats never experienced a bonded cat. Like a cat that's generally bonded to you. It's fucking different. Cause there's something to be said as much as I love like the unconditional love of dogs. There's something to be said that like dogs generally just generally speaking, just like everybody typically. And they'll have a person that like more.

Ice Bear (57:56)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (58:14)
But it's not that a bonded cat, this cat said like, don't fuck with nobody. But like, they're like, you, you're my best friend. And they'll, and they'll show you the unbelievable amount of affection and like extremely protectedness of you and stuff. it's, I don't know. It's a, it's something I would say I'm slightly more of a cat person just because of like experiencing that. But I do love dogs though.

Ice Bear (58:41)
Mm.

Yeah.

One of the reasons I am a husky person is because huskies are the cats of the dog world. It's the same thing. Like, is the one breed of dog that is very much like, fuck you, fam. But then they're they're great with their people. I have to take off my Fred Durst hat. I wanted to make it through the whole episode. It's just I I can't do it. I'm sorry.

Grizz (59:00)
Yeah.

you

He says she said bullshit It's just one of those days It's a good head night, I'm pretty sure I mentioned on the podcast how I got in trouble by Christopher Durst

Ice Bear (59:15)
This is a good hat though. I do really like it.

⁓ Please explain.

Grizz (59:30)
So when I was young, Limp Bizkit had a hit song out. And it's kind of, you know, it was like new metal. So it's kind of heavy. And so I'm like, this is fucking cool. It was on MTV. So I'm just singing the song.

And then in the wake of like my very religious aunt, I didn't know what I'm saying. You know, I'm just singing the song. And so my very religious aunt who doesn't use profanity and I'm just all like, I did it all for the nookie. You know, I don't know what the fuck I was saying. And she was like, what the fuck did she say? And I was like, huh? I didn't, I didn't know what nookie was.

Ice Bear (1:00:14)
Yeah, it's amazing the stuff that was on the radio when we were kids and like none of us knew.

We were all just blissfully unaware.

Grizz (1:00:26)
Yeah, so I got in trouble. said, know what that is? was like, no, it's just like, it's bond. I was like, huh? It's like bread. It was bond spread, right? And so that's shortened word for another Spanish slang for the same thing. And I was like, and I was like, huh? I just had a mobile and finally she said, what it was like, Oh, I didn't know I was saying that.

Ice Bear (1:00:42)
Mmm.

Grizz (1:00:54)
I didn't even like that at that time. just, I just, you know, there was no Vagene here. It was just all Bobs.

Yeah, old Gris wasn't old enough for the second part. It's just, it's just Bob's.

Ice Bear (1:01:11)
send Bob's send Bob's ⁓ man. yeah, that's that's vivid. ⁓

Grizz (1:01:13)
Yeah.

Look at the color of this one.

This one is top of the game so far.

Ice Bear (1:01:34)
Okay. So you know what we should do? We have a name for this episode in mind already. We should talk about that.

Grizz (1:01:47)
That's actually

here. Okay, look at we. Here's the thing. We actually have the perfect segue. And we didn't take it. We did.

Ice Bear (1:01:53)
⁓ go on.

⁓ walk me

walk me through it. Let's try take it. Let's try set up the segue.

Grizz (1:02:03)
So, fuck, I know we had the perfect segue, because I was almost going to segue to it, but I don't remember what it was. ⁓ What did we talk about before?

Ice Bear (1:02:09)
Was someone saying,

was someone saying the bears who are from Chicago.

Grizz (1:02:19)
No, we weren't saying that, but we were saying it had to do with Chicago.

Ice Bear (1:02:26)
When? Today?

Grizz (1:02:28)
Yeah, like during this show we're gonna we're gonna listen back to this. You're fucking stupid ⁓

Ice Bear (1:02:35)
I don't- I think- I think you're lit. I think you're- you're drunk, sir. I don't think we've mentioned Chicago at all.

Grizz (1:02:41)
I it's,

I think it's, are you sure?

Ice Bear (1:02:46)
You're saying we mentioned the Windy City. You're saying we mentioned Kanye West. You're saying we mentioned Common. You're saying we mentioned Chance the Rapper.

Grizz (1:02:49)
think we did.

We mentioned something that the devil of Chicago. I know for sure. I would for sure we did

Ice Bear (1:03:04)
I don't think we did.

No, you know what I think? I bet you're thinking the same thing I was thinking that neither of us said no. I think when we were talking about tall buildings, you were talking about the Space Needle and then the CN Tower. And in your head, you and I were both thinking of the Sears Tower, but we never said that out loud. I think that's what you're thinking of.

Grizz (1:03:14)
Cincinnati, no.

No, serious tower.

Maybe,

maybe or you're just gaslighting me really well. We'll find out, we'll find out when I edit this motherfucker. ⁓

Ice Bear (1:03:38)
I think it's okay. I don't know how much work this would entail, but I think if at some point we did mention something about Chicago, you should like slow it down. It's just like me being like Chicago is a great.

Grizz (1:04:02)
I don't think we talked to, we didn't mention Chicago. We mentioned something from Chicago.

Ice Bear (1:04:08)
Pizza?

Grizz (1:04:09)
You know the whole thing with the Chicago deep dish pizza? It's not even a Chicago thing. Chicago people don't fucking fuck with that.

Ice Bear (1:04:14)
deep dish. Yeah.

It's not pizza. Like it's good. Don't get me wrong, but like deep dish pizza as, as they're like wanting you to see it on like food network shows, that is not pizza. It's like a pie. It's a giant Italian pie.

Grizz (1:04:35)
Yeah.

Yeah. So like there was a in San Antonio and you know, man, it might be a place, but that pizza fucking slapped. And it was like, it was called Kennedy's Chicago style pizza, but that shit was so fucking good. And it was basically a pie and it was the deep crust, good ass sauce. then a fuck ton of like, mean, whatever topping and a fuck ton of cheese. Oh, the fucking, no, it was the deep ass crust toppings, fuck ton of cheese.

and then good ass sauce over it. That shit hit so fucking hard. I fucking loved it.

Ice Bear (1:05:11)
Okay, here's my question for you. If you had your druthers, what is your go-to pizza crust? You like thin crust? You like standard? You like thick crust?

Grizz (1:05:29)
So from national chains or just in general.

Ice Bear (1:05:34)
just in general.

Grizz (1:05:36)
In general, like, know that the fluffy like, like fire stone brick oven, but, but where like the bot, main crust of it's like kind of thin crust is just like slightly doughy or thin crust. And then I had a puffy actual crust. Like when it's like, when it's like stone, whatever the fuck that's my favorite. It was a national chain. So like, okay. Look, I'll show you how much we're fat as I am.

Ice Bear (1:05:42)
like a hand tossed that kind of thing.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Grizz (1:06:06)
So from Domino's, for myself.

And granted, I'll eat it over two days. But for myself, I always order a pan pizza, double pepperoni, sometimes with extra sauce for when I'm feeling spicy, but I always get it well done. And I get a thin crust pizza.

I like both of those or like the thin crust thin crust pizza pizza. Fuck it. ⁓ I fucking slapped my grandmother for that shit. I love it.

Ice Bear (1:06:45)
Slap your grandmother, that's not good. Slapping your grandmother's not good.

Grizz (1:06:48)
Well, yeah, but it's

like the it's like the you have that seasoning over there, don't you? Or is that just over here?

Ice Bear (1:06:56)
But wait, what is it?

Grizz (1:06:57)
There's a seasoning called Slappy O'Mama. It's seasoning so good, it makes you want to slap your mama.

Ice Bear (1:07:03)
If we do, I'm not aware of it.

Grizz (1:07:05)
⁓ yeah, it's a good, it's good teasing. It's like a, it's like, it's not Creole, but it's like Creole for you can put it on everything. Yeah. It's called slap. It's called slap your mama. Slap yo mama.

Ice Bear (1:07:22)
I have never seen this before.

Grizz (1:07:24)
I guess it's just a southern thing. Yeah, it's called Slapy Mama's seasoning. It's delicious.

Ice Bear (1:07:26)
It

is available. It is. This is amazing. Slap your mama is available from lumberjack distributions in Canada.

Grizz (1:07:37)
Okay, go.

Ice Bear (1:07:41)
They just, just like you said, they have hot sauce, have Cajun seasoning, they have...

⁓ etouffé, que d'un sauce.

Grizz (1:07:52)
It's a ⁓ great seasoning that can put on anything. Put it on beef, put it on chicken, put it in, it's a great all around seasoning. It's like Creole. You can put it on fucking everything and it's gonna be good.

Ice Bear (1:08:03)
Yep. Very nice.

very nice. Okay. So where was I going with this? Why was I asking you about that? Pizza. So in my opinion, the best thing you can do is thin stuffed crust with extra sauce. That is my go to

Grizz (1:08:30)
I was there a thin subcrest, never heard of that.

Ice Bear (1:08:32)
Okay, so it's it's imagine the thin crust pizza, but the edge of it, they just fold it over and they put that stuffed like mozzarella in there. It's very good. Yeah, you got to do it if you see it.

Grizz (1:08:36)
Yeah.

I've never heard of that, ever.

I imagine,

I imagine it'd be good, but like, never liked stuffed crust because of, don't know that the cheese like, it's like the cheese stick cheese that you put in there. I was like, ⁓ kind of without it.

Ice Bear (1:08:57)
no,

no, that's not good. There's a couple places here where it's like, it's very melty. It's not a cheese stick. Like it's a melty, like, yeah, like Domino's and Papa John's you just, yeah, it's,

Grizz (1:09:04)
Yeah. But you know what I'm talking about? Like, like the national change in America. Like it, it, it always

feels like it's just like a cheese stick cheese. Like it's a cheese stick. put, Yeah. It's like, it's like, yeah. They never, they never hit Domino's recently came out with like a pommas John stuff. Crush pizza. That shit actually kind of hits honestly.

Ice Bear (1:09:13)
It is. It 100 % is, yeah.

So I think we might have even done it on an episode of the old podcast. We were into food challenges for a bit, because I remember you, me and our fallen brother, we had the corn dog one from Sonic. And then we had the pizza one.

Grizz (1:09:43)
the corn dog. Yeah, I want.

Yeah, we had to, yeah.

Ice Bear (1:09:51)
Do you remember? Who was it? Someone someone kept DMing us and like whoever won, they would always one up us. I can't remember who it was anymore, but it was like I remember we'd always get a DM and like, oh, you had 23 sizes. I had 24. Oh, you had 47 core dogs. I had 48.

Grizz (1:10:10)
The thing I do remember that, but it was the cause it was cause our fallen brother started it. And it was cause he did the, was the soft tacos from Taco Bell and he ate X amount of them. And so he ate even more, but then cause he did it live and he challenged us and we're like, all right, fine. We'll do it. But then we found out that he just took a bunch of breaks in between.

Ice Bear (1:10:35)
Yeah.

Yeah, that was... Yeah, that doesn't count at all.

Grizz (1:10:40)
And all of a sudden I was like, that's not, no, no, no, no, no, that's not how it works.

You go straight. I ate fucking almost 30 corn dogs straight. We sat there on thing live and I ate 30 corn dogs. It was like 29 or 28 corn dogs. I ate them all fucking straight. It's one sitting. You keep going. You don't take breaks.

Ice Bear (1:10:49)
Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Because I remember, I think I had like 18. It wasn't nearly as many. But I remember there was a point where I was just because I had like the sonic bag ripped open. was just like, sadly dipping it in in whatever sauce I could to make it like try go down. But yeah, that was rough. The only one that I finished was the pizza one.

Grizz (1:11:18)
you

Yeah, you did fucking demolish a pizza one. You finished it fast too. It wasn't like, it wasn't a chore. You just fucking devoured that shit.

Ice Bear (1:11:37)
No,

no, it's like if and the thing is, I was like, I didn't fast or anything before that I just like pizza. Because if the seal and I go out for pizza, like it takes a lot of willpower to not just finish my pizza. Like, I can easily eat a whole pizza.

Grizz (1:11:58)
I fucking walking home now when I was walking to my hotel room I fucking ate two giant ass slices of fucking that wood fire pizza shit well ⁓

Ice Bear (1:12:09)
So every now and again, not every now and again, like quite often actually, we watch this dude on YouTube has a channel called Beard Meats Food and he just does like competitive eating challenges. He goes to these like restaurants all around the world and if they have a like a gimmicky like eat this in 30 minutes, you get the meal free kind of thing. And most of the time, like 95 % of the time I'm like, that's fucking impossible. Like that's insane. How did he do that?

but every now and again, he'll go to a pizza place and I'm like, I could fucking do that. Like I'm not even like, and it's not like, I don't think it's false hubris. I'm like, no, I could do that. That's not hard.

Grizz (1:12:49)
Yeah,

that's one of those when I always see like, it's like this much pizza and this much time, who are you calling? And I'm like, bro, I don't need to call four people. I just need to call like one and we'll knock that shit out. Just give us a six pack of beer. We'll knock that shit out. Easy.

Ice Bear (1:13:06)
Did I? All right, I don't know if I sent it to you or if, we have a mutual comrade, Uncle Fred Hawaii, a shout out friend if you're listening. He had posted a thing the other day about like, it was ⁓ like a four kilogram pizza or something. It was a big pizza, like it was a really, really big pizza. And you.

Grizz (1:13:30)
4 kilos

is what? 4 kilos is what? Costing like what? 9? 10 pounds? Yeah, so

Ice Bear (1:13:32)
It's like it's it's one to two point two pounds so four times two point

two eight point eight

Grizz (1:13:38)
Yeah, I was gonna say what, like nine pounds, right?

Ice Bear (1:13:40)
Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't bad, whatever it was. But I looked at that and I was like, I don't think we need six people. I was like, I think Rudy and I can handle that.

Grizz (1:13:45)
Yeah, yeah,

I think so. think we can like you good. Give us six pack of Be good. If you you you give me some a little bit a little bit of ranch. I fucking I we good.

Ice Bear (1:13:53)
Yeah. Yeah.

And they have it on the table. They have like dips.

Grizz (1:14:03)
Yeah.

Yeah. We get a little bit of ranch like, yeah, we're fucking, we're straight.

Ice Bear (1:14:09)
⁓ you know the thing that I've since ⁓ immigrating here that I really, really like? The seal loves a creamy garlic dip. And that on crust is super good.

Grizz (1:14:23)
Sounds delicious. I tell you, did I tell you, I had the opportunity to get stationed for a work in Hawaii, but it would have been in Honolulu. I would have had, I would have had to commit a year though. And I was like, yeah. I was like a whole year. don't know about that, bro. So I said, so I said no, but it almost happened.

Ice Bear (1:14:25)
It is.

with your current job?

I think you made

I think you made the right choice. And I I'm really happy I live there. I'm really happy I live there twice. Like I'm glad I went both times. But I would I wouldn't want to go back.

Grizz (1:15:07)
Yeah. It's one of those things. Like, look, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a beach dude. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I granted, would go, especially if I live, I would go and I'd be happy about it and it'd be cool. But like, that shit don't like get my rocks off. Like, again, like there's, there's a slight possibility that there might be a thing for me to get put in like this area, the Pacific Northwest. And if that does happen, then I think I'm going to take it.

Ice Bear (1:15:10)
Yeah.

Grizz (1:15:38)
But like, we're, I'm fucking, I would be by a mountain Rainier. Like I'll take a mountain over a beach any day. And, and so, and so then I'm like, you know, it be too far from Tacoma. It's not bad. So then I would be thinking about it, but I'm not going to lie when I was like, it's still a slight possibility, but when I was like, mulling it over, I was like, all my texts breweries, I be so far away. And so I was like, Lord.

Ice Bear (1:15:44)
100%. I'm with you.

Grizz (1:16:07)
But you know what kind of slowed down that kind of that deal where I was like, you know what, maybe it might not be that bad was this hat. I cut off the end of this box because I want to keep it.

Ice Bear (1:16:22)
Meowsa!

Meow says, look at that little lad. That's a darn tasty deeper.

Grizz (1:16:30)
I

fucking love that little dude so much. I'm like.

I fucking love this little guy. I fucking love this little guy. He gave me a hairball.

Ice Bear (1:16:40)
Meowza

is a good little lad.

Yeah.

Grizz (1:16:46)
Now,

Ice Bear (1:16:50)
No, I loved Washington. That was my favorite place I ever lived in the States. I liked it a lot. ⁓ You know, the thing that did like so why he has a lot going for it. I think it has probably like, ⁓ a while who has I think the best food in any city I've been to.

Grizz (1:16:55)
Mmm.

Does it though?

Outside of like, So, so what food does it have outside? I mean, okay. So about like poke stuff. I'm sorry. This is like good amount of Japanese food. It's good. The Coco's there, right? Yeah. So Coco's is fucking pretty dope.

Ice Bear (1:17:21)
Yep. And you've got

and you've got curry out. So you've got all the chains. But just in terms of mom and pop places, you've got Filipino food. You've got Japanese food. You've got Korean food. You've got Chinese food. You've got Greek food. You've got pizza places. You've got fusion places. You've got Italian food. And it's all like I it's all relatively cheap. And the other thing is it's a very walkable city.

Grizz (1:17:50)
Mm-hmm.

Ice Bear (1:17:53)
And there's, it's just a great place for eating and drinking. It's a fantastic place. The thing that I did not like about it, one, was way too far from family and friends. It's just like, well, but yes, absolutely you are. But the thing is like, realistically, like I'm almost as far from you here as I would have been in Hawaii. But like,

Grizz (1:18:06)
I mean on a fucking island.

Ice Bear (1:18:21)
If I wanted to, I could drive to Texas. It would take days, but there's something mentally about like, I can still drive there. That makes it better. I don't know why it's kind of irrational, but like being able to drive places is better. The other thing was, I had done like cycling around Oahu. And there's something about when you've been on a bike.

Grizz (1:18:27)
Fair, yeah.

for sure. Yeah.

Ice Bear (1:18:49)
and you've seen the edge of your entire island and you're like, I know where this ends in all places. It starts to feel really claustrophobic. At least it did for me.

Grizz (1:18:59)
I can see that because

I can see that especially so like Texas open or like Texas, 12 hours and then 14 hours and then, and that's just like one into one and you have expansive like Texas is basically if I can like bigger than a lot of European countries, like most European countries fit into Texas. like it's a whole thing to be able to completely cross an island.

Ice Bear (1:19:21)
yeah.

Grizz (1:19:29)
in like two hours drive is like, I don't know how I would, I think I, mean, I, I'd be fine loving there for a while, but after a while I would be, ⁓ I'd get, I'd get very sick of it very quickly. Cause again, too, cause like the benefits of Hawaii for people, like again, I don't fuck with beaches that much. Like beaches are cool, but like my, my thing for like a good beach trip here in Texas is

Ice Bear (1:19:29)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Grizz (1:19:59)
a big ass party like with family and friends and shit. I'm going to put up a canopy and I'm going to have the grill going the entire time. And I may have some music. I'll be drinking all goddamn day. I'm going to have my fucking Western hat, my cowboy hat on with some sunglasses. I'm going be grilling. I'm going be drinking beers and like jamming to music while all everybody plays outside in the ocean and shit. And I'm going to be in the ocean here and there, but I'm going to be fucking grilling on the beach and I'm going to enjoy the sounds of the ocean and the

sounds of the ocean and the breeze while I'm grilling. that tip from a good beach shade of me is that.

Ice Bear (1:20:32)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Grizz (1:20:37)
I don't need Hawaii for that. And even

at that, it's probably doesn't vibe with like Hawaii vibes to be honest. Yeah. So like a second, you know, it just doesn't do it for me.

Ice Bear (1:20:48)
The thing that actually got me, and this is weird, don't, because I never expected it to get me was I missed seasons immensely. Like when it was 60 degrees, 70 degrees at Christmas, I was immediately like, hmm.

Grizz (1:20:59)
⁓ I thought it was, I would, love fall and winter.

Ice Bear (1:21:14)
And I think that's also one of the reasons that I love Ontario so much, because we have four incredibly distinct seasons. Like our winter is fucking winter and it's long and I get, I totally get why some people would be like, no, that's too much snow. It's too cold. get it. But we also have a really beautiful spring. Like Toronto has cherry blossoms, just like DC does. We have a really pretty fall.

Like the trees are like, can do a leaf drive just like you can in Vermont or New Hampshire.

Grizz (1:21:45)
Like it's like, yeah,

I don't say like, like Vermont, New Hampshire, or like, or even like the Virginia's fall, fall in the Virginia's too. Oh my God.

Ice Bear (1:21:51)
Yep.

Yep. Yeah, like Shannon Doe drives are fantastic. If you know that, you know what, if we have any West Virginia listeners, you have a very pretty state like West Virginia is incredibly underrated.

Grizz (1:22:06)
I'll fuck him dude. I fuck with

West Virginia heavy. both Virginias, West Virginia is like, yeah, fucking, my God. Again, if there's one state I would live in happily outside of Texas.

Ice Bear (1:22:11)
Yeah, it's a great place.

Yeah.

Grizz (1:22:24)
It's not West Virginia, it's New Hampshire. But then after New Hampshire, it's probably West Virginia.

Ice Bear (1:22:32)
Yeah. Yeah.

Grizz (1:22:34)
Hmm.

If like West Virginia has similar laws to Texas, I mean, I'd be like, fuck yeah. mean, the West is a little closer. If Washington had more laws close to Texas, I'd be Washington in a heartbeat.

Ice Bear (1:22:49)
Yeah, Washington's a very pretty place.

Grizz (1:22:52)
The Pacific Northwest is fucking awesome. There's just a lot of skinheads here. You know, a lot of skinheads, a of sharps.

Ice Bear (1:22:55)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (1:23:07)
which sharps one of the other types of skinheads that are like tankies. Which are, for me, the, but you know, that's not a hair nor there.

Ice Bear (1:23:21)
Man, I've tried really hard to segue this to the title of the episode.

Grizz (1:23:28)
Okay, look, here's the thing.

There was two titles the episode once significantly better. So we need to where we're super close to the answer. We need to put this in. All right, look, the breaking news of the century, not the century of what the month is probably now with the way news goes of the week, the breaking news, the breaking news of the week by the time this episode comes out is old news, but it doesn't matter. Anyways, there's a new Pope. All right. Pope Francis out.

Ice Bear (1:23:47)
of the week.

That's true.

There's a new pope.

Grizz (1:23:58)
He's canceled. He's not no more. Not because like he did anything is because fucking the fucking. ⁓ OK. Well, he got he got he got taken to the great beyond. Anyways, he's gone. Catholics, I'm sorry. But. But outside of. But outside of that, we got a new one. We got the fucking lion of Chiraq all right. We got the fucking Leo, the fucking the beast.

Ice Bear (1:24:02)
You can't say sk-

He's cancelled.

Grizz (1:24:27)
The beast from the mid-west. All right? We got the fucking kitty from the Windy City. We got Pope Leo of whatever the fuck from

Ice Bear (1:24:43)
⁓ man that was really good sir. That was very good. I can't believe you cancelled the pope for dying.

Grizz (1:24:55)
I hear it in front of me, so...

Ice Bear (1:24:56)
Did, know, kind of, was going to pose a question, but I don't want our website shut down.

Grizz (1:25:03)
the question we won't we won't type it out

Ice Bear (1:25:06)
Yeah, did a certain politician that visited the Pope prior to his death have anything to do with his untimely demise?

Grizz (1:25:18)
I don't know. think it's cause he opened that fucking gate where you had all those people freaking out. think that's what took them out to be honest. And also too, like I, I get it. Figure head's awesome. Especially for everything. There's something to be said about like, no matter how you felt about the guy, some people loved him. Some people didn't like him a lot. People in Rome, my camps didn't like him too much, but like there's something to be said about like I'm dying and I'm sick as fuck, but you know what?

Ice Bear (1:25:25)
There you go.

Grizz (1:25:47)
Easter weekend is very important. So like, the hospital. I'm going to go spend it with the people that like follow me, follow me all the way till he died. So no matter what you feel about the guy, whether you think he's bad or good or whatever thing, that's pretty fucking based. That's more so than most leaders do in anything. like, you got to give it to him for that. I don't care what you fucking think.

Ice Bear (1:25:54)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Grizz (1:26:17)
That being said, it's kind of wild that like the new ones in American from fucking Chiraq I heard that the next archivist was going to be named chance. That's what I heard. Just saying, I'm not sure if it's true or not.

Ice Bear (1:26:17)
Yeah.

That is very interesting.

You

Cardinal Yeezy. ⁓

Grizz (1:26:36)
Card easy actually know he can't

anymore because he just did that whole gay thing with his cousins in the song

Ice Bear (1:26:45)
that's I think I think that was one of Pope Francis's things. It's different. So so so Pope, so Pope Leo doesn't not okay. No, no longer fine.

Grizz (1:26:49)
No, he died. He's out. He's dead. He doesn't matter no more. We back.

I don't know. actually

I don't know because like so here's the thing because some of the things he said is like very like On that team kind of thing. So I think it might still be fine But like I don't know Have you heard the clips that I have that easy suck?

Ice Bear (1:27:01)
I feel, I feel like he's fine.

Mm.

I'm vaguely aware it's something with his cousin, right?

Grizz (1:27:23)
Yeah, he's like, he's like, it's not gay. We're just experimenting with our cousins. But like, you know, I'm gay and it's not that bad.

Ice Bear (1:27:27)
So wait,

so wait, that was real? Because I saw a few TikToks of it and I just assumed it was either fake or AI, but also at the same time, it's, yay, anything could be real.

Grizz (1:27:31)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's real. thing with like, so the thing with, yeah, even like all the other stuff, right? I'm pretty sure, ⁓

Like I'm 1 million percent convinced and like, sure of that like, yeah, he's just trolling.

Ice Bear (1:28:07)
I could see that.

Grizz (1:28:07)
in

in the last few years because I do think it's just straight counterculture stuff of like y'all said this y'all said this like well fuck y'all i'm gonna fucking do the exact opposite completely I genuinely believe that

Ice Bear (1:28:16)
Hmm.

Grizz (1:28:41)
I genuinely think he's just kind of trolling. I do think that like, since he's went so far on the, on the one side where they're like all the things that he's kind of thing of like the, know, dropping the hard R and his other songs, which is like,

He's blocked. like it's, I don't see what the issue is technically. So I don't know if you were freaking out. I mean, fucking Leonardo Decaprio got the pass. think, I think Ye think, I think if he got one Ye definitely he has 10 of them, but I'm just saying, but, and then especially I, after all that, when people are all this and that, like he's like in one camp and then he's like, I'm not now I'm gay. I had this test to a snake with my cousin.

Ice Bear (1:28:57)
Hmm.

Grizz (1:29:23)
Right after that, I'm like, motherfucker's trolling. Motherfuckers just like, he's, once somebody's comfortable, he's like, all right, I'm going to show y'all why y'all shouldn't be comfortable with my ass. Like, you know?

Ice Bear (1:29:26)
Mm.

Yeah, I can see it. I think he might be onto something there. Sure.

Hmm.

Grizz (1:29:48)
All we know is a fuckin the new pope, the lion of Chiraq . He keeps that thing on him.

Ice Bear (1:30:00)
All right. So do you think before he he

unleashes his do you think he says the power of Christ compels you

Grizz (1:30:17)
I think he...

I think that's two things. depends if you're ops, I think he just fucking mows you down. And then once you're down, he just goes.

Ice Bear (1:30:29)
you

Grizz (1:30:31)
He you off. It's not his job to judge you, but he's gonna take you. He's gonna set up that meeting for you. I think that's what's gonna happen. He's a lion of Chiraq . What you want from him? He keeps that thang on him.

Ice Bear (1:30:40)
Gosh, what a guy. What a guy.

Chiraq .

Do you do you think he okay, so do you think if you gave him the the Dane Cook test, and you went up for communion and you did the hands out, tongue out like, where do you think he'd put the cracker? Where is he putting Jesus hands or mouth?

Grizz (1:31:09)
forehead.

Ice Bear (1:31:14)
Watch.

Grizz (1:31:15)
He's like, I ain't yo bitch, you can do it yourself.

Ice Bear (1:31:21)
Well played, Pope Leo. Well played. I didn't see that coming. Yep, that's the answer. That's the 4D chess move right there.

Grizz (1:31:30)
What's that? It's the Adderall pearl necklace.

Ice Bear (1:31:36)
no.

tell you, Cat Lady is definitely the winner of the night.

Grizz (1:31:58)
It's funny. guess we both had big finishes because for me, I don't, I didn't even introduce my last one.

Ice Bear (1:32:05)
Yeah you did, it's space needle isn't it?

Grizz (1:32:08)
No, that was the half. The last one I showed you the delicious color and the greatness. All right, love it. So when game is about to end.

So this person does usually does double duty, right? When you're fourth down, got 70 yards to go, who do you call?

Ice Bear (1:32:32)
Ghostbusters.

Grizz (1:32:34)
Right. Or, you know, when you're 30 yards away and you're forced down and you want to make the safe thing, who do you call?

Ice Bear (1:32:41)
your your field goal kicker.

Grizz (1:32:44)
And the field goal kicker always does double duty, right? What else does he do?

Ice Bear (1:32:50)
He also occasionally holds snaps.

Grizz (1:32:56)
And he also kicks other things. What other things does he kick?

Ice Bear (1:32:59)
kicks ass and takes names.

Grizz (1:33:04)
He also punts it. so what, and so what that, what that goes is this right here is from Urban Family Brewing Company, which is also in Seattle. This is a hazy Ipah with mosaic. it. Nelson Sauvonhops. Love it. It was only a 6.6, which you know.

Ice Bear (1:33:05)
⁓ there we go.

Grizz (1:33:32)
It's not too, it's close, but not too far away from where the lion, the lion of Chiraq is going to get my ass. This is 6.6.

Ice Bear (1:33:39)
I was going

to say his arch nemesis.

Grizz (1:33:44)
We just, we just missing, we're close, but we're not, you know, we're not there yet. So it's fine. You ain't going to get me yet. This is to end a close game. You call the crocodile punter.

Look at that. Look at this fucking guy right here. Look at this. Look at this boy. Powerful. Fucking kick right there. Powerful fucking kick. Crocodile punter from urban family brewing co. Right here. A minus easy. A minus easy. You might get a little bit more. I don't know.

Ice Bear (1:34:08)

Grizz (1:34:28)
You're definitely in the a category. I'm giving you an a minus Yeah, i'm giving you i'm giving you a minus you're a small boy, but you fucking punch hard you damn good Wait, what did I give me?

Ice Bear (1:34:33)

Nope, not loading.

Grizz (1:35:34)
All right, well, tentatively it's an A minus, but I'll say if Meowsa! was under an A minus, Meowsa! 's now an A, and I'm retroactively changing that shit, because Meowsa! 's better than Crocodile Punter, but Crocodile Punter, easy A minus. Delicious as shit.

Ice Bear (1:35:51)
I feel

like you gave Meowza an A, so I think we're okay, but we'll have to investigate.

Grizz (1:35:56)
Alright.

Crocodile Punter A minus, super solid. Love you. Not as good as me as a, but like look at man. Have you ever seen, have you ever, have you ever seen like, you've seen the videos of the cats just fucking smacking the shit out of crocodiles? Yeah, it is what it is. It's just a circle of life.

Ice Bear (1:36:49)
I think Cat Lady is a...

You know what? I think it's also an A minus. I think we have we have a tandem score. Yep.

the perfect way to end the battle of Seattle. We just this is episode 9 You have to see where we're hitting we cross benchmarks Before this episode came out we finally hit a hundred downloads. That's a big thing for us because we're small boys So thank you very much. Thank you very much for that
