From quirky stories to random thoughts, it’s all about enjoying great conversation and sharing laughs in a relaxed, no-pressure vibe. Perfect for anyone looking to unwind and have a good time!

Ice Bear (00:33)
This is,

Okay.

Grizz (00:37)
There you go. See, think

the sound of the cap falling down and hitting the table, it's a good crack. Yeah. ⁓

Ice Bear (00:42)
just

It's it recovered. You're recovered.

Now, we've discussed many times before. What is old ice bear? A little pumpkin slut. But what other people may not know is that in addition to being a little pumpkin slut, I am a connoisseur of vessels. so I mean, I'm not a dopey count you sicky butt Brian. ⁓ So this has been

Grizz (00:53)
many times.

that you're going to say a con. I was like, geez, bro, you were not. We're not in Australia.

Ice Bear (01:15)
the glorious vessel for some time now, but in my hunt for delicious new craft brewskies to share with my pal this week, I found a holiday pack, a holiday pack that included a brand new vessel.

Grizz (01:32)
⁓ my lord.

Ice Bear (01:33)
And

so today we will be breaking in this little guy.

⁓ that's a classy ass pour right there. That's what that is.

look at that happy little Christmas elephant just fucking flying, flying into the sky.

Grizz (02:02)
Tony Zhao would protect the shit out of those guys.

Ice Bear (02:04)
Tony Jaa would jump kick a lamppost to save these. Ungvak is such a good movie. Like what an underrated movie.

Grizz (02:12)
Yeah,

all the young bucks protector. ⁓ What else did you do?

Ice Bear (02:19)
Wait, is there more than one Ongbok? I didn't, I've only ever seen the first one, but I'm thrilled to know there's All right, well, you're deep diving Tony Jaa movies. I will let the folks know that pre-recording, was letting ol' Grizz know about my trepidation for this week's choices, because I am quite confident this is...

Grizz (02:21)
Yeah, isn't there a couple?

Yeah, I want to say that's more-

Ice Bear (02:46)
one of two ends of the spectrum. This is either going to be two utter dog shit choices and I'm going to have to pour them out and just cry in my soup. Or they're going to be absolutely fantastic because I have had a couple things from Delirium. I don't know if you recognize that elephant, but I've had a few things from them before. And they've been, I believe an A plus and a D. So there's not really not really a lot of middle ground.

Grizz (03:12)
Mm-hmm.

Ice Bear (03:15)
So my first offering is Delirium's Nocturnum, a strong dark bill from Belgium called huge, huge. And it is an 8.5%. I also like that, I don't know if this translates on camera, but they use commas instead of decimals in the focus. Nah, that's not gonna. Yeah, there's a comma in there and it bothers me. I'm like, why are you putting a comma there, big boy? Who knows?

Grizz (03:19)
Hmm.

huge

Interesting.

Wow. Also there is three young bucks.

Ice Bear (03:50)
Really? I'm gonna have to look up the last two because I'm sure I'd like them. Is he in all of them?

Grizz (03:52)
So it's three of them.

Yeah, you know.

I don't remember to be honest.

Ice Bear (04:01)
But back to the deep dive.

The second one's just arty.

Grizz (04:09)
Yeah

Ice Bear (04:09)
Get back to the elephant.

Grizz (04:13)
Let's see. What's it gonna? All right, Leo. ⁓

Ice Bear (04:17)
Thank God.

I was scared. I was really scared and luckily I had no reason to be scared. This is quite good.

Also, I forgot how little liquid is in like a bottle versus a can.

Ugh.

Grizz (04:37)
Fair.

Also, yes, he's in all three.

Ice Bear (04:40)
Okay, very good. So this begs the question, what's old Gru's working with over there?

Grizz (04:43)
You know.

You know, just like my, just like when I want something really good, like my emotions. I'm drinking cascade and this right here is from matchless and taps. It's cascade fresh. It's another offering from these PNW hazy, the fresh hop stuff. So matchless, we've had some good ones. Meowza.

Ice Bear (05:07)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I know you like your meows. And it's just such a good name.

Grizz (05:13)
Top tier. Top tier.

It is. And then that happy ass little orange cat winking, smiling. You can't beat it.

Ice Bear (05:22)
Yeah,

that really that really adds something to it. If you just

Grizz (05:27)
So this Cascade

Fresh, did I? Yes, I did. I can't pour one out to the homies, so they just get a from the heart, two finger kiss to salute, you know.

Ice Bear (05:39)
beautiful.

Grizz (05:41)
So the hops right here are fresh CLS Cascade Ice Bucket Challenge Grain Pilsner Flaked Wheat Descriptors is...

The dishes can wait, but the hops can't.

Ice Bear (05:59)
⁓ very good.

Grizz (06:01)
Brewed in package by the old matchless Cumwater Washington. Store cold, drink fresh, 6.4.

Ice Bear (06:11)
Speaking

of cum water, I forgot to read the description on this. Nocturnum is triple fermented to give you a beautiful strong dark Belgian beer with a creamy head. So this is just cum water all around. For the beer tonight.

Grizz (06:22)
Damn

cruising down the street in my sixth fall.

Ice Bear (06:30)
So it's been a while. We haven't done one of these little guys in many moons. What's changed? What's changed? Your beard is bigger. Are you taller?

Grizz (06:37)
Many a Moons.

Is it bigger?

I grew a hole.

I don't know. feel like with squatting you like get shorter. Yeah.

Ice Bear (06:49)
We're just shorter every time. We're

a little more compressed every week.

Grizz (06:53)
Yeah,

yeah. And then you just stretch out and you get, you get a millimeter back.

Ice Bear (07:00)
I still really like that guy that was talking about, like, do you get shorter when you squat? And he's like, yeah, yeah, you do. But then you stand up and I'm like, fuck you, sassy little son of a bitch. Yeah, that's a good answer. Yeah, I figure between between the squats, they shrink you and then you do some pull ups and then you're fine. Crush the spine, stretch the spine. Feeling fine.

Grizz (07:11)
Hahaha!

Go.

Lakers in five.

Ice Bear (07:32)
Lakers in five. My Lakers are looking pretty good so far.

Grizz (07:38)
I ain't ever gonna say my Lakers anything. I've talked way too much shit about them in decades because of my, again, cousin. Even when Lakers were prime, my aunt, my cousin loved them. So it was my sole duty to talk mad shit the entire time.

Ice Bear (07:56)
I genuinely think, you know like the Curse of the Bambino, the whole Red Sox, Babe Ruth thing? I really think the Luka one's gonna be worse. I think the Mavs are just screwed for eternity now.

Grizz (08:02)
Yeah.

Honestly, I, yeah. I mean, they, they did, they did one good thing.

Ice Bear (08:18)
and

Fire Niko.

Grizz (08:25)
yeah.

Ice Bear (08:29)
The thing is with the timing of it, I'm almost more disappointed that they didn't double down. Like if you're already cursed, you might as well see what other zany shit he gets up to. Kyrie Irving will trade you for like ping pong paddles and ⁓ like a couple of beers. the Celtics assistant coach and the massage therapist from the Knicks. it's just nonsense.

Grizz (08:35)
That's fair.

I was gonna say a double decker sandwich.

Uh-uh.

Ice Bear (08:59)
It

would be just as stupid as Luke.

Grizz (09:02)
Yeah,

I thought you were going somewhere else with that. I thought you going to say a massage therapist as a Chinese spy. And then I was like, that's probably that's probably a little rough around the edges. And I was saying that nicely.

Ice Bear (09:18)
No, no, no, that's not where I was going with it. But I like your dark mind, you maniac.

Let's see, let's see.

Grizz (09:29)
man.

Well, yeah, so they're cursed. I feel bad for my boy, Kai.

Ice Bear (09:35)
Yeah, I would be shocked if he doesn't like request a trade.

Grizz (09:41)
As much as I love to do and like as much as I like the Mavericks I think he needs to I think I need to buy a fucking Kyrie a Kyrie Jersey now to be honest

Ice Bear (09:50)
Yeah, I

think you do. You know where you should go.

H-Town. I think you should stay in Big Tax, and I think you should mosey over and play with the Durantula again.

Grizz (10:06)
⁓ man. You know, that wouldn't be too bad.

Ice Bear (10:13)
Or...

Grizz (10:14)
I was thinking that he's out of the Spurs and he fits, he fits, he fits frickin' Houston way more than the Spurs.

Ice Bear (10:20)
Well, I don't know, Castle

keeps getting hurt too, so maybe the Spurs would also be an interesting look. Him and Wemby would be insane.

Grizz (10:29)
I would be happy with this verse. My dad would be happy too that I stopped rooting against spurs.

Ice Bear (10:35)
Yeah, yeah. No, the spurs are very fun to watch this year for sure.

So we shall see. We shall see. Now, now you were what?

Grizz (10:44)
We'll see. You know we also sell see is

a chainsaw man movie and that movie was fucking awesome.

Ice Bear (10:51)
yes, tell me your thoughts. Tell me your thoughts rated on a scale of 1 to infinity.

Grizz (10:58)
One to infinity and beyond. All right. Ol' Grizz has been a fan of Chainsaw Man for a hot minute because of the manga.

I actually watched the anime for the first time so I could watch the movie. Cause I just read the manga and I was like, love the thing, whatever. You know, I wasn't really too active when train time and it was showing. it's like, yeah, watch the manga or watch the anime. Solid good. ⁓ it's one of those, like it's very dark.

Ice Bear (11:21)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, definitely is.

Grizz (11:37)
⁓ it's violent. It's perverted. It's all like the things of the tropes of like, I honestly, I think the reason why I like it so much is it kind of reminds me of like a slightly modernized version of like, ⁓ late nineties or late nineties anime.

Ice Bear (11:56)
Okay, I can see that. They like lean into all the negative things hard. Yeah.

Grizz (11:57)
You know what mean? Like, and so like that's

Yeah. And so I think that's

probably why I like it so much or I liked it so much. So the movie is the Resi Arc, right? And so that one is, was my favorite. cause the whole thing with that, without any spoilers, the whole thing, they say it completely, but, ⁓ it's basically the whole entire premise of it is just that parable of the country mouse and city mouse.

Ice Bear (12:35)
⁓

Grizz (12:35)
Right. So it's just like, I rather be safe and not a lot to eat or what I rather live dangerously and have decadent food. Like, you know, an interesting life with full of danger or a comfortable life with no zest, no zeal. Right. And so that's, that's. And so that's the parable between the two. Like, so obviously it's a movie granted it's like two hours, two and a half hours. it, you know, you translate that to episodes.

Ice Bear (12:43)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Very interesting.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (13:04)
What? An anime episode is 23, right? 20 minutes. So like that's a good three, six, that's a good seven, eight episodes. That's almost a full season, right? Condensed. So you don't, they don't, nothing's really super rushed, but they do cut out small things that the manga does, but all anime does that. Right. Um, it still felt super complete. Actions great. Animations great.

Ice Bear (13:07)
20 minutes.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Grizz (13:31)
Everything you kind of put in there is like it's super fucking solid

Ice Bear (13:36)
I'm really excited that this is doing so well and that Demon Slayer did so well because I think we're gonna have a lot more, ⁓ a lot more consideration from studios that are willing to do like a feature film. Cause if I'm not mistaken, Demon Slayer is now the highest grossing movie Japan has ever done. Like not just to anime, like period for the country, which is wild.

Grizz (13:51)
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cause he, cause even

before, even before that, like it was the top grossing anime or animated like in it, I had beat all of my isoccus films and shinkai films. So it was just fucking insane. Yeah. I do feel like I am conflicted about this slightly. I do really like it. And I do like the fact that like there's a resurgence in theaters again, because like,

Ice Bear (14:10)
Yeah, that is bananas.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (14:27)
It was, we talked about this, like the, the thing about going to the theater, like it's the energy that you can get there when there's a full thing. And we've seen all the cleats, you know, like the clips of like online of the crazy shit happening at the demon slayer things are just like all this different stuff. And like the energy in the room, like again, I always bring it up. Like even with shitty movies, energy in the room makes them memorable and great. Like for me, I hated hostile. I thought it was stupid as shit, but like I, it's one of my favorite memories because of the crowd.

Ice Bear (14:34)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yes. Yeah.

Yeah.

Grizz (14:57)
Also didn't like it too. like they're just shit. Yeah. And it's like, it's basically like, know, like something stupid happens and you just get an old brother and like, everybody just like, just starts laughing because you know, and again, I talk about it like it's one of my favorite memories, but again, like you remember hostile, right? Yeah. So you remember how after

Ice Bear (15:00)
Yeah, you communally shat on it together.

That's so true.

Grizz (15:26)
spoiler for a fucking 20, 30 year old movie. I will like, but um, after they escape and he's in the car and they see the two like hot girls that got him, like the fricking lowered them to the hostel thing, right? To, the whole it's go. I remember they saw them there and like the crowd cleared and you see them standing there and somebody yelled out and there's a packed theater and somebody all like run those bitches over.

Ice Bear (15:28)
20. Yeah, it's not new.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Grizz (15:56)
And then he fucking hits the gas and he hits them and they fucking hits them in the whole theater. His heart's fucking cheering and screaming. It's like, yeah. It was, and everybody's just cracking up. It was the best fucking experience. it made, uh, I will hate it. The movie was corny as shit, but that experience made me love that. Like, and it's made that movie very memorable to me. And so people are getting that with anime.

Ice Bear (16:06)
⁓ my god.

That's fair.

Grizz (16:26)
And that's fucking dope shit to me, right?

Ice Bear (16:28)
Yeah, that is really cool.

Grizz (16:30)
One of the things like, and I don't know if this is just me, like clutching pearls or like, can't change times kind of thing. But as much as I do like that, I am worried that there's something great about, you know, episodic things, watching a season of this, watching a season of that, and being able to like take things in bites and stuff that are like rewatching something that like get, I I'm worried that more and more.

new adaptions and isn't that are just going to go to a movie format and not really seasons as much. Cause demon slayer in general, what this was like three seasons and then like a movie. And then now the last, the last two arcs are just going to be divided into three movies. We're not going to be seasons anymore, which is like cool as fuck. But also like, I don't know, man, I don't know if it's just me not wanting to go with change, but this idea that there's not going to be a season of something it's.

Ice Bear (17:11)
several movies.

Yeah. Yeah.

Grizz (17:29)
I am worried about that. I don't want that to be like lost.

Ice Bear (17:33)
That's fair. I'm hopeful that this allows us... So like, let's say your studio has a cash cow like Demon Slayer or Chainsaw Man, and they make however many hundred million off it. That tells me the studio now has the budget to pay these guys enough money for like a pet project that maybe they can't get greenlit for a movie. But now we have the funding to do like a solid

10 or 12 episode original anime. Like that's that's my hope.

Grizz (18:04)
Hmm. Which it

was, that would be awesome. Or even if they did cause demon slayer did do this. Cause they did the whole, the train art, they did a movie and then they eventually released it as a season. Right. So that might be a thing where it'd be dope where they drew the three movies and then later, cause it's, it's, I mean, that's going to make them more money. Probably. don't know how much I was like, as a return, they will get, but like they do the three movies and then they do seasons for each movie.

Ice Bear (18:15)
Yeah. Yes.

Grizz (18:34)
were slightly more in depth.

Ice Bear (18:37)
Yeah, okay, here we go. Here you go studios free pro tip from old grizz and I spare you have your movie. It does well. When you put out the blu ray, flesh it out, cut nothing, do it as an eight to 10 episode season. Now, instead of your $20 movie, you can charge us 40 bucks. just doubled your money. Very minimal work. There you go.

Grizz (18:54)
He's completely frozen.

This is the

Illuminati is getting us frozen. They don't want this pro tip out there. It's too good of stuff. Or it's just lagging on my side and it's very normal elsewhere. And so we're just talking over each other the entire time. I have been, I've just been talking. So was saying the Illuminati is getting you and they don't want this good ass.

Ice Bear (19:05)
Well, well, well, this old gris still here.

Old grids. there.

You've been there the entire time?

Grizz (19:27)
ideas to go out or or as like ⁓ you just when you're about to start explaining it.

Ice Bear (19:28)
Where did it cut me off?

So I got none of my idea. Okay.

Grizz (19:38)
Yeah. So

what I was saying was the Illuminati is stopping you or we're both just talking to each other, talking to each other the entire time.

Ice Bear (19:46)
that I hope when we go back to the recording, it's just us just yammering just powering through. Okay, but since now we can hear each other, my concept was this. They put out the movie movie does really well. Instead of releasing the Blu as a movie. Cut nothing out do like an extended not an extended edition movie do a season do like 10 episodes and clean up the art no more like no cut scenes no like

Grizz (19:53)
You

Ice Bear (20:15)
dead waste, like everything's animated fully moving and charge 40 bucks instead of 20 for the season.

Grizz (20:23)
Yeah, I'd dope as shit. I'd be so stuck with that too.

Ice Bear (20:28)
well well ⁓ sometimes you'll wind up with a little sour patch kids it's a treat to go with your bruskies thank you well i got a lot of them i have several bites i bet this is gonna make the beer awful but i'm gonna try it i'll be an experiment

Grizz (20:36)
Damn, damn. The only thing bad with those is that it's like one bite mouthful.

Hell yeah. There you go.

Ice Bear (20:56)
⁓ yep, they're more sour than usual because of the beer taste.

Grizz (21:00)
You ⁓

Ice Bear (21:04)
I don't normally find them sour, but yeah, that's rough. That's a big change.

I bet a warhead would murder me right now.

Grizz (21:12)
That'd be interesting. I like just drink a really really bitter beer and then just fucking black cherry warhead

Ice Bear (21:16)
Mm-hmm.

And then a spoonful of Dabam. Just fucking shocking all your taste buds.

Grizz (21:24)
Who's she?

Duh-bye.

Ice Bear (21:34)
If you could have any movie and or anime come out with like a full, properly done blu-ray version, what would it be?

Grizz (21:46)
Here's the funny thing is it could because this thing was just basically an OVA and it's one of the first anime I ever watched and I love it so much. But I like rewatching it later. It's still great. It still holds up and everything, but it's just like you realize like how short it really is. It's fucking Ninja Scroll.

Ice Bear (22:07)
⁓

Grizz (22:08)
Like when you re I, cause I remember watching it like a couple of years back again. And I was like, damn, this shit goes by so fucking fast. there's it's like, there's the top. It's basically just all plot points. There's no in between. There's no flush out of like outside of plot point fight, fight point fight. And it's great. And I love it. But I wish that there was more of like, you can see more of the characters. You know what I mean?

Ice Bear (22:25)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. You know, so I'm glad you phrased it like that because I, one thing that I really like about Chainsaw Man, not the movie, I haven't seen it, only Chris has seen it, but I've seen the series. ⁓ It does action sequences so well. Cause normally that's where you're like mainstream anime really lose me. Cause I just get disinterested in fight sequences pretty quick.

Grizz (22:38)
So that would be one.

Ice Bear (23:05)
So it's hard to keep me engaged, but there's something about the way they animate it and something about the pacing of the fights and the sound especially. Like they fucking nail it. Where I'm like, I'm fully invested for all of those.

Grizz (23:21)
Yeah, Chain Talents really up there. think even Demon Slayer does good fight teams. And that's a big reason why I was not really ever into ⁓ My Hero Academia.

Ice Bear (23:25)
Yeah, that's it's another it's another good one.

Yep, couldn't get into it.

Grizz (23:35)
Like one, to be honest, I was never like a comic book guy too much. I like certain things. got like Batman, but like I was ever super huge into superhero stuff. So to have an enemy about superhero things, I'm like, all right, cool. guess so. So I was already like, it was already a losing battle for me. I like things about it. I got watched, I think the first couple of seasons. So I like things about it for sure, but it was just like,

Ice Bear (23:42)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Grizz (24:04)
I will never rewatch it. And even the five things, even some of the cool things, it's just like,

Ice Bear (24:07)
I will probably never watch it.

Grizz (24:13)
I don't know.

Ice Bear (24:14)
Forgettable.

Grizz (24:15)
Yeah. It's like, you know, it's funny is I go to, so like, it's like Dragon Ball Z in the sense of, loved it when I was younger, watched it go and I was older. I was like, this is fucking trash. But late, but lately I've been watching like, you know how they like Hopecore edits or just random edits of stuff I've seen it. And I'm like, damn, this shit's so fucking hard. Like, just like, it was like edits of it. I'm like, damn, it makes me like nostalgic. It makes me like,

Ice Bear (24:30)
Mm.

Mm-hmm.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Yeah.

Grizz (24:46)
hype of shit about certain things. Like, so like, I don't think I could sit through and rewatch all of Dragon Ball Z again, but the fucking edits of like the really big points. It's like, damn, this shit fucking hypes me up so much. Makes me want to go bench press or something.

Ice Bear (24:46)
That's fair. That is fair.

You know, that's a really good way.

I think that's a really good way to judge any like shonen or senen. does it like if you leave an episode, are you inspired to go do something? Because there are several things that I've watched and like the episode will end up like I want to keep watching. But like I need to go bench first or I need to go like run a 5k like I need to physically go do something because

Grizz (25:12)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Ice Bear (25:25)
I want to like I've been inspired to be a better version of myself by this character trying so fucking hard.

Grizz (25:33)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (25:35)
So.

Grizz (25:35)
That, that, that's, that's very true. Again, like I think demon slayers are first shown in a long time. That's actually up there. Cause again, the, the, the, big hitter before that was Pete, my hero. I know it was, wasn't it? They didn't do it for me. JJK is like more set in than the Shannon to me. So like, don't kind of, I don't really, I don't feel comfortable putting in there.

Ice Bear (25:58)
Yeah.

Yeah. I'm with you.

But JJK is one of the ones that there's a few scenes in that time to go do something.

Grizz (26:07)
Bye.

Yeah.

Yeah. Cause the tiger's been watching and she's been like struggling through it. And I'm like, look, first, I think it's good. First season is cool and all, but it's the second season. That's like, is that's the one I, that's, that's the one that it got everybody. I just, just watch the second, it's like get to the first season. It's not bad, but the second season is where it's fucking at.

Ice Bear (26:33)
Yep.

Yeah, it picks up fast. It goes from zero to 100 quickly. How are you doing on your first one over there, by the way?

Grizz (26:46)
Yeah.

Yeah.

I am completely done. Which I haven't even said anything about it. This weird thing, super easy to drink. And to be honest, it's the best fresh hot beer that I had because I had a handful of them from last week and then thing. Cascade is this one. I think this is my first A-.

Ice Bear (26:57)
as am I. ⁓ I'm saying

Damn.

Good job, Cascade. ⁓

Grizz (27:17)
Very enjoyable, super easy to drink. It's, dangerous in the fact that like, can just be gulping it down. don't even realize it.

Ice Bear (27:25)
Good old gulpinit down. ⁓ Delirium nocturnum. ⁓ As I said, I was very worried. Is this going to be dog shit? Or is this going to be amazing? And as with my predictions, it was neither. It's just dead in the middle. This is like a solid B minus. This is a... I'm glad I tried it. I don't think I'd buy it again. Yeah. That's...

Grizz (27:43)
No.

Also, Delirium

Micurnus sounds like a fucking Final Fantasy spell.

Ice Bear (27:58)
doesn't it it really does and it would take like a couple a couple more ⁓ action points to use like it sounds like an advanced one

Grizz (28:06)
Yeah. I, ⁓

last year, I didn't finish it, but last year I was replaying fucking Final Fantasy eight.

Ice Bear (28:18)
Is Final Fantasy VIII the one that's not turn-based?

Grizz (28:22)
And now it's still turn base, but it's the one with the gun blade. This was squall. If I could do with like the scar across here with the gun blade and the poofy, the poofy leather jacket thing is a it, ⁓ or he's basically he's Leon from kingdom hearts, like squall squall, like final fantasy eight's my favorite final fantasy. I'll pick it over seven every day and I'll die on that hill.

Ice Bear (28:26)
Okay.

Yeah, yeah,

Gotcha.

Yeah. Yeah.

not picking X and X dash two or ten two

Grizz (28:53)
to I actually really like

I actually really like 10 and 10 do yeah tightest even like all that was paint like they're all great that I would

Ice Bear (28:57)
So do I. They were great.

What was the weird game they played that was like soccer but swimming?

Grizz (29:07)
Yeah. Yeah. I know. Yeah. I know exactly what you're talking about. Cause the whole mini game thing. Yeah. Well part eight was just a card game. The mini game was a card game. It was really, really fun. And you can like, when you kill the, when you kill them, the monsters, you can get their cards. That's pretty dope. Yeah. I think the top three though, for me would probably be eight, 10 and seven.

Ice Bear (29:09)
Yeah, that's good. Yes.

I've never played 8 but now that you've praised it I want to.

Grizz (29:36)
Yeah, it's most definitely my favorite.

Ice Bear (29:47)
Happy little elephants. Happy little elephants. All right. So will you're giving that a little whiffy with my second one, again from our boys at Delirium. I was feeling festive. I was feeling festive and this is Delirium Christmas. This is a 10%. This is...

Grizz (29:53)
⁓

Christmas!

⁓

Ice Bear (30:16)
triple fermented, fermenteet revolt from Belgium and that is all I have, doesn't tell me anything else about it.

Grizz (30:22)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (30:29)
So hopefully it's good. What you got over there?

Grizz (30:32)
So this one judging by art alone, this is the best one.

judging by strictly by art. This is my boys at Matchless, right?

My voice at Matchless hit me with a hazy EPA, which is Eldorado, Topaz, Nelson, and Azuka.

dyslexic demons layer. I was like a AZACCA ⁓ grain Pilsner flaked wheat descriptors. Don't let this one fly away. And by that mattress means this right here is hop hunt.

Ice Bear (31:00)
I don't know what article is.

Okay.

⁓ man, that's really good. Yeah. Yeah. ⁓ Duck Hunt was such a fun game.

Grizz (31:26)
Look at that man. Look at that boy holding that nice beer right there.

Dude, it's so fucking good. The Duck Hunt game with the SNES, the fucking gun you had, dude, so fucking cool. And then freaking Super Smash Bros. Ultimate when you could be Duck Hunt. So cool.

Ice Bear (31:47)
Yeah. Yeah.

It's really interesting that like certain things that were around with like the SNES, like during that era, just like died off. And then they brought them back like they were this wild invention. Because like it was like PS4 when they started coming out with that same like thing that like had the little bar on top of the TV. And it's like, this isn't new. Like, we had this 15 years ago. Just you guys forgot about it.

Grizz (32:11)
Mm.

Well, you remember the Dreamcast?

Ice Bear (32:17)
Love the Dreamcast.

Grizz (32:18)
Dreamcast is fucking great. So like one of my favorite things on the Dreamcast, me and my cousin had fucking House of the Dead 2 on the Dreamcast and he had two fucking gun controllers. And so we'd be like, so we'd be at home, it'd be like the arcade, we'd fucking shoot and you have to shoot off screen to fucking like you do. It was so fucking great. Yeah, it was so fucking great. So we just pay House of the Dead 2 with it. So good.

Ice Bear (32:30)
I never played it, but that sounds awesome.

reload.

They need to bring those back. That'd be super fun to play now. Like any shooter should have the gun controller.

Grizz (32:53)
So good.

yeah. So like, we're not too bad. So like house of the dead, they did the redux on the switch. And so like, you can use the joy con where you've faced the joy con to the TV and you press the button to shoot. It's almost as cool. It's not as good as like the gun, but it's still better than like when you don't have a gun and you just have to put your fucking target with the joystick. You know what I mean? It's slightly better, but it's like not knowing you're as good.

Ice Bear (33:24)
⁓

Grizz (33:26)
Yeah. think, uh, the year last year, I think it was last year or like last Christmas. You need a tiger at round one. And we played through like house to the dead four, house to the dead five. That's what several has a machine gun. So cool.

Ice Bear (33:38)
Okay.

I forgot about

round one. Round one's a good place.

Grizz (33:46)
That's awesome. It's a place.

Ice Bear (33:48)
shit now i'm

You know, it was the Wii. The Wii had like all the peripherals that turned that little controller into like everything. Steering wheel, gun, bow and arrow.

Grizz (33:59)
Yeah, I'm super smart. Which is

which was the switch did it to at least with the steering wheel and shit.

Ice Bear (34:07)
Well played. Good job, Nintendo. You're a good gimmicky company.

Grizz (34:11)
Yeah, because because like the switch even did like with the you remember like we sports So they did like the switch sports or whatever and it was for the switch and then like they had one where you had to do like Running jumping jack shit. So there was like a band that you would put the joyce Conn and you attached to your like so when you would jump and do the shit like yeah Yeah, it was it's pretty dope

Ice Bear (34:16)
What the?

really?

Did you ever have any, ⁓ we related injuries or damage to the house?

Grizz (34:41)
Not almost crazy. So so old Papa Grizz.

As much as we like the Brewskis, my opal braves would enjoy them often.

Ice Bear (35:00)
Not only, not to interrupt your Papa Gris story, but not only was I supplied with Sour Patch Kids, I, being a voracious polar bear, occasionally get scraps. And I was just gifted the scrap of a quarter pounder. Good, scraps. Excellent scraps. ⁓

Grizz (35:18)
Damn, that's nice. That's,

that's tough here right there.

Ice Bear (35:24)
Mm-hmm. So my apologies. Papa Grizz enjoys the beers as much as us. If not more.

Grizz (35:30)
So,

so when we had the Wii and we had Wii Sports, that was the thing where all pop occurs was coming, wanted to come home because we were having so much fun with Wii Sports and stuff. so.

My he, what possible drink Bush normally. And so we're talking about like by the time we get to the middle of the night where we're doing anything, we're like four courts in right? Like four, days in, it's right. And he's usually pretty good, but we're doing, we sports for being active, you know? So that, that, that, that Bush goes into that stream a little harder. Right. And so

Ice Bear (36:12)
you

Grizz (36:18)
One thing ⁓ I think was ⁓ my band at the time, we would practice at my house, right? Which is like, and back then my house was just me and me and El Papa Grizz. So.

The living room was just where we jammed. And my dad didn't really care because he was always working anyway. So in our living room, have, know, couches, TV, whatever. But we also in the corner had a fucking drum set always set up.

All right. So we're in the living room. We're flying. We sports are playing fucking baseball. And I'll pop from Grizz. He's at bat and he's feeling it right now. He's he's feeling a saucy right now. He's feeling good. He gets there. He goes. He goes with the with the joy con and he goes to swing and he swings. ⁓ mind you're here. We had tile floors.

Not Magnolia tile, we had ceramic tile floors. Old Papa Gryzor wore socks. I'm talking swings, spins.

Ice Bear (37:18)
God.

Mm-mm, mm-mm,

⁓ no.

Grizz (37:33)
loses balance and starts falling onto the drum set. Opal of a Graze is fucking 290 to 310.

Ice Bear (37:35)
no.

Grizz (37:43)
So me and my drummer got popped up and ran to try to catch him. Grabbed him, I grabbed his arm, grabbed his shirt and tried to pull him and I like re-grabbed him, grabbed his stomach and tried to pull him back. We pull him back and fall over. We all fall onto the floor so we saved the drum set.

Ice Bear (38:06)
Damn, what a save. That's heroic.

Grizz (38:10)
And then we all just laughed and then just kept playing.

Ice Bear (38:13)
Yeah, you have to.

That's amazing. That's excellent. Well, shit, my story is very lame by comparison, I can't even top it. I'm not even gonna try. You emasculated my story. My story is just like a flaccid little sad story in comparison to your triumphant, meaty tale of your pops and your drummer. But...

I will say that mine ended in a in a broken TV and it was it was amusing and sad. Actually, so. No, it was the bowling. So I was at my college girlfriend's family's house and her little cousin was probably five, six, a younger girl. And we're bowling and she didn't have her little wrists strappy properly secured.

Grizz (38:47)
⁓

Was it baseball? Was it the baseball too? ⁓ interesting.

Ice Bear (39:13)
and she was trying it out for the first time, she just launched it. And she had a ⁓ fair amount of force for a little kid. Just.

Grizz (39:20)
I say did she hit

it with one of these?

Ice Bear (39:24)
Pretty much, yep, pretty much. just like dead center of the screen.

Grizz (39:26)
She hit the spin.

You never go full spin. There's too much power in that spin.

Ice Bear (39:31)
Never go full spin.

That's why the softball girls do it.

Grizz (39:41)
There's a TV killer right there.

Ice Bear (39:43)
TV murderer.

Grizz (39:45)
There you go. So how did the family react? Because I feel it can go either way.

Ice Bear (39:52)
everyone was very kind, very Filipino household man. They're just like, Swedish okay. Yeah.

Grizz (39:56)
Okay, yeah.

Yeah, that's very, yeah.

Ice Bear (40:04)
Yeah, no one was no one was mad at her. Everyone's just like, ⁓ shit. And luckily, it was like the garage TV. So it wasn't like the main it was an older one. It was just like the for fun like kids go in there and play that kind of thing.

Grizz (40:18)
And then everybody's in karaoke afterwards. Yeah.

Ice Bear (40:21)
Yep.

God, that is mandatory fun, isn't it? I don't think I've ever been. Nope. There's no exceptions to that every single time.

Grizz (40:27)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Ice Bear (40:38)
ever. It's funny you mentioned karaoke because like, ⁓ I was thinking of ⁓ on TFC, they have that show where it's like, boom, ta da, boom, ta da. And every now and again, that just pops in my head. And I'm like, you know, like, they'll occasionally like pop through the crowd. And there's like the one random white guy. And he's like, just like, beautiful, fluent Tagalog. And then and then they have that like game where it's like, ⁓ Hindi. And like, he's like,

Grizz (41:02)
Ha

Ice Bear (41:07)
He he and they're like, ⁓ he did he said, he said no, he's so fancy.

Top, top tier entertainment.

Grizz (41:20)
Yeah.

Throwing out the TFC, throwing out the whole fucking the Filipino channel. They are those fucking memories. Holy shit.

Ice Bear (41:32)
Yeah. Our audience in the in the PIs growing immensely.

Grizz (41:41)
tie like, yeah.

And they're fucking tie out into like, you know, fucking betrayed us. You fucking shitty ass bears.

Ice Bear (41:46)
Yeah, rude,

rude ass bears. We're gonna see a bunch of a bunch of comments like ⁓ the the what are they gonna call us they're gonna call us the the Baguio bears or the or the or the or the hmm I need time to spitball this. I like Baguio bears. That's that's good.

Grizz (41:51)
Wrong island you bastards

Try to dig it.

Ice Bear (42:15)
the the guapang grizzle-bizzle.

Grizz (42:20)
and you're just ice ball.

Ice Bear (42:25)
you

Well, it's officially gone off the rails now.

Grizz (42:33)
Ha

ha ha!

Ice Bear (42:36)
⁓ I swear, mahal kita!

Grizz (42:43)
Dude, you remember the anime Date A Live?

Ice Bear (42:47)
Wait, which one?

Grizz (42:48)
Data life.

Ice Bear (42:50)
No, I don't think I do.

Grizz (42:52)
Yeah. So like it, they'd alive. It's an, it's an age game, right? Like dating Sim. And then like, so they made an anime about it. And it's basically like the main character has an earpiece and then you know, like he needs to basically dating dates him when these rogue powerful female entity things, right. So like there's like, so basically he's like, has to go on dates with the things. And so it's basically makes the age game into the enemy.

Ice Bear (42:57)
okay.

Grizz (43:20)
And which is, it's funny because it's great. Right. Cause he goes, so like he hits the things like scenario happens while he's on the date. And then like, they basically are the, this organization has compiled the most, the most best things for dating or whatever, like into this earpiece. And they're all basically like in the Megazord chamber, basically like Star Trek. And they're all like listening, seeing what's happening and they're telling them what he should do next kind of thing. Right.

Ice Bear (43:49)
Amazing.

I'm totally unaware of this, but it sounds great.

Grizz (43:51)
And yeah,

it's, it's so good. It's funny. And one of the ones that one of the guys, one of the guys they get in there is this on the sub one. Right. So one of the guys they get is like, he knows gross cause he does the women of the night. So basically he's like, you know, he gets like, and, every single time they introduce one of the people, they like say something. Right. And he's like, and he's like, he person, a he women of the night. he goes, mahal kita.

Ice Bear (44:08)
⁓ no.

Mm-hmm.

Well done guy. that's ⁓

Grizz (44:26)
I lost my shit.

I was like, not my boy hitting

the japa yuki's, god damn.

Ice Bear (44:34)
That's very...

⁓ man.

Grizz (44:51)
yeah, it's a little Easter egg for you.

Ice Bear (44:53)
They didn't they didn't know we knew like that. They just they just were revealing it. 3031 episodes in. Bears of Culture. There you go. There's your episode Bears of Culture. Chainsaw Man.

you

Grizz (45:27)
Okay, there you are.

Ice Bear (45:28)
I see you too have munched on sky flakes.

Grizz (45:32)
Hahaha!

Ice Bear (45:44)
We're basically,

We're appealing to the Jo Koi audience at this point. ⁓ shit. Okay, are you aware of the show, ⁓ physical 100? Have you ever heard of this?

Grizz (45:52)
So...

Yeah. I know

they're doing an Asian, like Asia one now. Right. Yeah. So I, I never watched it, but I know the concept of it. know it was like, it was Korean first, right. And now they're doing like all Asia.

Ice Bear (46:04)
Yes, so it's it's

Yeah.

Yeah. So the first, the first couple of seasons were just a hundred random like Korean, like, like, it's not like unknowns. Like there's UFC fighters and Olympians and just like very athletic Koreans. The one that's out right now is like physical. I don't know what they're calling it, but it's Asia. And so they're teamed up by their like nationality. Right. And so the episodes going along and it's Korea and Japan and

and Indonesian Malaysian Mongolian like everything's going fine. I'm invested just because like Sierra likes to watch it too. then ⁓ they get to the Philippines and they're going through all the people and then fucking money Pacquiao comes out and I'm like, how the shit did they get Pacquiao's in it? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And so one not only am I freaking out but like the like obviously like the Filipinos are like, they're like,

Grizz (46:56)
Shut up. No way. No way. Ain't no fucking way. Holy shit.

The entire Philippines is fucking freaking out.

Ice Bear (47:09)
like the whole team's like, they're losing their minds. And man, it was it was so great. It was so cool watching him in this stupid, like, effectively a game show. It was was fantastic. ⁓ So yeah, if you were on the fence, watch it for Pacquiao.

Grizz (47:30)
I had

no, I here's, know, pisses me off about this is that, cause you know, like mean videos or whatever, like reels and stuff shows you random things. The only thing I've seen from there on the Philippine side is a psych Filipino guy. Like there's that fat Filipino guy where he's like, can't finish the thing. Cause he's exhausted from the stuff. It was like a strength thing or whatever. And he's like, he got this and he's like, he got this one. He, and then he's like,

Ice Bear (47:53)
Mm-hmm.

Ha

Grizz (48:00)
And then they're like, boy did me dirty kind of thing. And so that's all I seen of it. And I'm like, okay, this and that ain't nobody fucking sure. How are you not going to show a fucking pack yet? Bacchus in there.

Ice Bear (48:11)
I think that's a really missed opportunity on that show's part. So here's the thing, and this is my unconfirmed belief, because it is a Korean produced show, I don't think they want to admit that the star of this season is a Filipino guy. Because objectively, of the whole cast, by light years, the most star power is Pacquiao.

Grizz (48:31)
Filipino. Well, for sure. Probably

Yeah, 1000%.

Ice Bear (48:41)
Cause if you just put in your Netflix trailer, Pacquiao's in a random game show, every boxing fan on the planet's just watching it. 90 % of Filipinos are watching it. So, yeah, that is being conservative.

Grizz (48:46)
everybody's watching. Yeah. Yeah, especially the fucking that's best being conservative. Right? Like, yeah, you have that. like, you know how much fucking

Westerners are just watching because of Pacquiao is fucking Yeah.

Ice Bear (49:01)
Yeah, dude, I was

I was trying to explain to the seal, like how Pacquiao flights like shut down. Not only the Philippines, but like Hawaii to like it just shut shit down. Like, this Pacquiao fight like, okay, like, society doesn't exist for the next three hours. Like we're watching the Pacquiao fight.

Grizz (49:10)
Yeah.

Yeah, like

Yeah.

Again, people like in the Philippines, like during the fight, they literally stop power into neighborhoods to make sure the power grid is fucking, and they would play the Paco fights, which granted again, whole other fucking time zone, right? Cause like you're fighting in America. So the fuck it 10 in the morning, right? Like nine in the morning over there. Yeah. So like,

Ice Bear (49:43)
Mm-hmm.

13 hours away.

Grizz (49:52)
to divert all the energy of the passwords to the theaters where they would play in the theater so everybody could go watch the movie theaters. find you basically watching the fucking Pacquiao and fucking Mayweather fights at the IMAX, right? Like, then so they would stop, they would cut power to the fucking residential areas to make sure that the theaters are fucking solid. It's fucking monumental.

Ice Bear (49:59)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Dude, my favorite thing about watching those fights and to this day, the best one I ever personally witnessed again, big, big family. ⁓ The matriarch, the grandma in this family was surrounded by two of her sons. And like, this was a Ricky Hatton fight. And so, you know, that was one that went like nowhere. Like it was done early.

When Hatten went down, she was slapping their heads and she's like, sue somebody to sap. Just losing her shit. This is amazing how much people love Pacquiao. Great Christmas album.

Grizz (51:04)
I mean, bro has a best, I was gonna

say bro has a best selling Christmas album for a reason.

⁓ which reminds me of a talent, our boy Dexter.

Ice Bear (51:30)
funny you mentioned Dexter the seals into that now so please continue.

Grizz (51:34)
Uh, it's our boy Hawaiian Dexter. He, yeah, different. So he does a great cat. He does great karaoke singing as Pacquiao Pacquiao singing other songs.

Ice Bear (51:39)
that...

What?

No way. Uncle Fred, you so-and-so.

Grizz (51:57)
Yeah, he hits, he is fucking Pacquiao classics.

Ice Bear (51:58)
I gotta hear it.

I gotta hear this. That sounds amazing.

What a good talent. That's really fun.

Grizz (52:05)
majestic.

Ice Bear (52:10)
you do car okay yeah but only as pocket that's like maybe like all right here we go but I'm only doing this McConaughey all right all right all right

Grizz (52:14)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Ice Bear (52:27)
You

Grizz (52:29)
⁓ shit.

Ice Bear (52:30)
So as a ⁓ lifelong Texan, can you confirm or deny, is McConaughey really running?

Grizz (52:40)
I haven't actually seen legit stuff. Cause the thing is that the last couple of like election cycles, there's always been the thing of he might, I don't think so because he's really, really trying to do a new Hollywood in Texas. And he's really focused on that. ⁓ so I, I, I highly doubt it. Cause I, cause again, he's, ⁓ and I've seen even when I was like that, like he was.

Ice Bear (52:56)
Mmm.

Grizz (53:09)
There was a lot of effort over the last two years about doing a new Hollywood in Texas. So like.

Ice Bear (53:12)
Mm-hmm.

Good

for him. It's a good place for it.

Grizz (53:21)
Yeah. The thing is like, there's already so much like the stock exchange thing and Dallas are trying to make, and with like the Exodus in New York, it really looks like it's going to really, really surge over there even higher. like.

Ice Bear (53:31)
Mm-hmm.

Mm hmm. Yeah.

Grizz (53:38)
It is a prime time to do those kinds of things. So we'll see. Yeah. As somebody who doesn't like Hollywood, I don't know if I want Hollywood in Texas, but you know, we'll see how goes.

Ice Bear (53:44)
Yeah, that'll be interesting.

But you can't picture it as it is. You have to picture the Texan version of it. Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's not ideal.

Grizz (53:56)
But then again, but all the people from there just kind of relocate over there.

So it's gonna be ⁓

it's gonna be bearable for like a couple of years and then it's just gonna go back to the status quo. It's just gonna be closer to old Grizz home.

Ice Bear (54:09)
gross

Yikes. Yeah, that's fair.

That's fair.

Grizz (54:20)
Not looking forward to that. Not long, but...

Ice Bear (54:31)
Let me tell you, Delirium Christmas.

Again, this was going to be the week of real awful or fantastic. And I'm thinking this is another solid B minus. These are both just okay beers. So I am not good at anticipating what's coming at all.

Grizz (54:47)
No.

Yeah, I think I had two really good ones. I don't know if they're that good or I just been, I just, ⁓

Ice Bear (55:08)
Craps?

More scraps. I hear you two good ones, but there's...

Grizz (55:15)
Puppy

power!

Ice Bear (55:22)
Ha ha ha!

Grizz (55:25)
No!

Ice Bear (55:27)
Ew. Is it good? Dill pickle. ⁓ it is dill pickle dressing. Yeah, that's true. What is happening? I'm still chewing. I'm still chewing.

No. Well, let me tell you. That's pickly. ⁓

Grizz (56:00)
shit

pickle tail pickle dressing. That's interesting.

Ice Bear (56:18)
It's actually quite good. So I don't know if they have in the States, but up here they have ⁓ the triple pickle McChicken right now.

Grizz (56:26)
never heard of that in life. To be fair, I saw my first 12, but McDonald's and I don't know how long.

Ice Bear (56:28)
So it is.

Grizz (56:34)
like this week.

Ice Bear (56:38)
Yeah, there really aren't a lot of Mickey D's in Seattle, are there?

Grizz (56:42)
Yeah, I saw my first one. was by like the tourist area, which makes sense.

Ice Bear (56:48)
Yeah, that sure does.

Grizz (56:49)
Yeah, not a lot of like national chains.

Ice Bear (56:53)
Which honestly, good. Any place where you can get more local is better.

Grizz (56:57)
now

I

agree, except for Panda Express.

Ice Bear (57:05)
Panda Express should be ever. ⁓ well, yeah, we know about that. Because when I had my conference over by Toronto, the first thing I was like, Panda, I need that. And and my god, did I miss it. It was every bit as delicious as I remember.

Grizz (57:08)
Yeah.

I can't stand one of the things and it's the same thing I hate with taco bone, but it's not authentic. I'm not eating it because it's authentic, bro. I'm eating this delicious. Yeah. No fucko Panda Express. Don't fuck with taco. Don't fuck with Chipotle.

Ice Bear (57:28)
I'm eating it because it's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. No.

Yeah, I don't. Yeah, all three of those are prime examples. Like I don't consider like when I go to Taco Bell, I'm not like Mexican. I'm like, mmm, Taco Bell, like it's nonsense. Good hangover cure drunk food. And when I go to Panda, I'm not like, ⁓ yes, this is fine. Sheshuan me like no, it's fucking Panda. Orange chickens great.

Grizz (57:45)
Yeah.

Yeah. Delicious stuff.

And I love every bit of it. It's fucking awesome.

Ice Bear (58:03)
Yeah,

100%. 100%. Now Chipotle is as we as we all know, Chipotle is authentic Mexican cuisine. I think you know that.

Grizz (58:14)
It's anabolic

as fuck.

Ice Bear (58:19)
Now is true I've heard Chipotle's in the states now can sell beer.

Grizz (58:26)
Yeah, they've all I've always known him as selling beer.

Ice Bear (58:29)
Well,

not absolutely not where I was 100 % no, but that's one of those things where I'm like, that would be really enjoyable to have like a giant ass carne asada burrito and then a cerveza.

Grizz (58:33)
⁓

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, like I've only known to pull it to sell beer.

Ice Bear (58:53)
Thanks, East Coast.

Grizz (58:57)
damn. And that's where Texas should he has blue laws to

Ice Bear (59:03)
Thank

I almost wonder if it's just like whoever's franchising them out there, like doesn't want to pay a liquor license or something. Could be that.

Grizz (59:14)
That's fair. Yeah. They,

they would always, yeah, they always had like, you can always get like, you know, Mexican beers, right. A Mexican lager. like Corona, they got the things like that. Those are, those are always options there.

Everyone smile you have a Mexican coke

Ice Bear (59:39)
Speaking of Coke, have you sampled the creamy holiday vanilla Coke yet?

Grizz (59:45)
I have not. I've been enjoying the cranberry spiced zero calorie sprite though.

Ice Bear (59:51)
⁓ I've heard of that. I'm looking for it. I still have not encountered it yet. We have a cranberry 7up up here. It's pretty good, but the sprite sounds like it would just be very tasty. So yeah, I am looking for that.

Grizz (59:55)
It's delicious.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, the cranberry spice sprite.

Top tier. I got mine on Amazon.

Ice Bear (1:00:13)
⁓

I never thought to look there. I should look on Amazon.

Grizz (1:00:18)
Yeah, I don't know how it would be in Canadian, but like six packs on Amazon are like, the lowest you can find them is like five to six bucks. So, you know, five bucks for a 12 pack or 12 pack.

Ice Bear (1:00:30)
Interesting for a six pack.

Okay. I was going to say that's yeah, that's okay. It's not bad.

Grizz (1:00:37)
I bet.

usually, especially because all grids is in a, is in a, an apartment situation. Now, usually I just order a bunch of them and I take a wagon down and I just load them up.

Ice Bear (1:00:52)
very wise.

Grizz (1:00:53)
with a bunch of 12 packs and then like rains and stuff and then cases of rain and then.

haul them back up. It's pretty nice.

Ice Bear (1:01:01)
That's genius. That's

very wise. Very wise indeed. ⁓

Well...

I'm going to give this one more chance to ascend from its B- position.

Grizz (1:01:20)
Dory.

Ice Bear (1:01:28)
Nope, it's a beemine.

Grizz (1:01:28)
No.

hey, hey, hey, ⁓ just a bee-winder.

Ice Bear (1:01:36)
That's

two B minus brewskis for little licycle.

Grizz (1:01:42)
I think my boy mattress is hitting all of hop hunts, probably hitting a B plus. I think, I think I just had two solid B pluses this time. I'm not comfortable giving either one of them a's cause I didn't love them, but I really liked them. So I think, I think that deserves a B plus.

Ice Bear (1:01:59)
So what you're telling me is we had a communally good time.

Grizz (1:02:04)
I had a great time.

Ice Bear (1:02:07)
So the time we had was an A plus. The beers we had were B level.

Grizz (1:02:17)
Yeah, you know, it's kind of I think I think the moral of the story is that sound about the beers that we drank, but it's the friends we've made along the way.

Ice Bear (1:02:26)
the friends we made along the way. And let me tell you, when you come and you watch the Baggio voice, is why sage wisdom like this.

Grizz (1:02:33)
You

Ice Bear (1:02:41)
The old sultans of Subic Bay, the monsters of Manila, the, the, the Quazan kings.

no, I've totally alienated the country where we're actually ranked. I'm so sorry.

Grizz (1:03:04)
All right. Look at how how do we bring this back? Where the own back bears.

Ice Bear (1:03:10)
We're the Bangkok baddies.

Grizz (1:03:14)
⁓ the baddest of the fatties.

Ice Bear (1:03:17)
We're Lady Bears.

Grizz (1:03:22)
Billy!

Ice Bear (1:03:27)
Sorry Thailand, you should be proud of it. It's fine. There's nothing wrong with that.

Ha ha ha.

Some of my better work late in the game

Grizz (1:03:52)
Hahaha!

⁓ shit.

Lady Bear.

Ice Bear (1:04:02)
Just fucking cut it. There's no way to stop
