What is 2 Bears 2 Beers?

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!

Grizz (00:31)
Alright.

I got nothing. I got, all right.

Ice Bear (00:37)
I think that should all be part of it just us violently brushing our hands for no reason.

Grizz (00:39)
Hahaha

Alright, here we go. A one, a two, a squiddly diddly do.

Ice Bear (00:52)
didn't have to fight it so much on that one.

excited. It's first time I've had a color in a long time that I'm like that looks like it's gonna be good.

Grizz (01:06)
I

am kinda worried about this one, I'm not gonna lie.

Ice Bear (01:09)
Well, all right, well, then let's start with yours. Let's start with let's get the bad out of the way. Let's get the fear out of the way.

Grizz (01:14)
So here's the thing, you know, you know, worries me. Doesn't worry me. Cause nothing's like good old Texas, but you know what anybody know Texas, anybody know the good old Ram Shiner, Bogdan. We all know that Ram don't come over here. Not one bit. And it's kind of sad because I love that guy, but at the end of the day, sometimes you can't sign. Sometimes you can't nothing, but you can be festive cheer. And with that, you can be.

You can get into the whole festive yule. By that I mean the winter logger yule box.

Ice Bear (01:50)
⁓ look at that Yulebach. ⁓ that looks...

Grizz (01:51)
This is, this is a Scandi Yulebac,

which if anybody knows about me, I like the Scandi style and this looks very Scandi to me. This is an ale brewed with cardamom. This is the ale brew. is Yulebac, Winchelager, an ale brewed with cardamom. Given our neighbor, our neighborhoods Nordic heritage, we thought it would be fun to brew a holiday beer that leaned into Scandinavian traditions. Look at that. I knew it was Scandi because of them.

Ice Bear (02:02)
I like it a lot.

Grizz (02:20)
because of the iconographic, the iconographicals.

Ice Bear (02:25)
He felt it in your bones.

Grizz (02:26)
Taking inspiration from the Christmas

bread that Ballard Bakery sell this time of the year. We brutal strong with cardamom and fermented with Norwegian East for touch a fruity character. This is a 7 % winter lager from the good old Ruben's brews.

Ice Bear (02:52)
⁓ I love that. I'm excited for you. I see why you're worried. This seems like it might be something. interesting. Yeah. Yeah. ⁓

Grizz (03:01)
I

get I get ale and I get like tea because I guess the card of them and I get a very very like tea smell.

Ice Bear (03:09)
Dude, I don't know where to start. There's so many things to discuss right off the get-go today. ⁓ Do we want to start with, well, let's just start with my beer, I guess. So we had discussed last week, this is our festive episode, and I was hoping this would happen. I was hoping you would go traditional kind of Christmasy route. And I was thinking, being bears, we should also appreciate the winter solstice. So I went.

solstice route, as of recording was just yesterday. So we're now into winter, folks. And you know what I think of when I think of winter old gris? I think of what is that you ask? That is the Goblin's Trill. This is a combination double EPA, a partnership with a Bellwoods Brewery.

Grizz (03:56)
You

⁓

Ice Bear (04:07)
who, as you may recall, they did that spicy, like 12 % sour, and Blood Brothers, who did ⁓ the blood orange, and they did ⁓ that cerveza style one. Anyway, both of these breweries have not disappointed in the past. And so they created, again, Goblin's Trill. This is an 8 % strong beer, and I know nothing about it other than it has a can that's really cool with the creepy kind of pagan iconography.

And again, I didn't know where to start. Why didn't I know where to start? Because there's also a new vessel. And I think you're going to be very happy about this new vessel because it features you.

Grizz (04:45)
⁓ my lord.

it that inverted fellow right there. Look at that inverted fellow. That's a beautiful color too. Beautiful vessel and a beautiful color. my Lord.

Ice Bear (04:57)
Just a little.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (05:09)
What we talking? What we talking here?

Ice Bear (05:11)
Let

me tell you, I don't want to get too excited. I don't want to get too excited. But I'm excited. I'm excited. And I think we could be doing one of our... Hold on. Let's not get crazy.

fuck, let's get excited, boys. This might be S tier.

Grizz (05:40)
Hmm, as tear.

Ice Bear (05:42)
This is real good. And unlike my beloved Grizz cohort, I am not already buzzed. I'm sober as a judge. And this is starting out quite good.

You do not look as pleased as me.

Grizz (05:58)
I don't know how I feel about this one, to be honest. Because like, I don't hate it, but I definitely don't love it.

Ice Bear (06:02)
Interesting.

your socks are still on.

Grizz (06:08)
Well, they are very on and very wool.

Ice Bear (06:11)
Dude, wool socks are fantastic. Fucking wool socks.

Look at those toasty tootsies. Those are some warm paws over there. That's what those are.

All right. So fuck man, this is really good. It's it's all right. We've we've beat this horse to death. But it's one of the things where it smells fantastic. So that initial like as you're drinking it, just like the aroma is just phenomenal.

Grizz (06:45)
Damn. This one, this rum is not bad. I think you will actually really like this beer.

Ice Bear (06:52)
Mm.

Grizz (06:53)
I don't know. And I think, I think I do like it. I don't think I can't drink it every day. But I like, if this was a normal winter beer, I'd be very happy. I would happily be happily would have a can. Yeah. That's like, it's like necro gov con.

Ice Bear (07:07)
That's the Goblin's Trail. It's just us burping.

Yep. That's I love the name of it. Wait, is that a real band? that's a really good name for a band.

Grizz (07:18)
It's a Goblin metal band.

Yeah, it's a real band.

And the vocalist, the vocalist dresses up like a goblin, like full on special effects makeup. It's really good. Like I'll show you off there because I don't want to copyright strike us. it's, but this one here, it's, it's interesting cause it's, it's not spicy, but it tastes spiced like, like, like winter spices. You know what I mean? Like, like the,

Ice Bear (07:31)
Sometimes you gotta commit.

Mmm.

Grizz (07:54)
The smell of... you know when like, ⁓

Ice Bear (07:56)
You got

like a potpourri pot kind of thing on the stove.

Grizz (07:59)
Yeah. I was saying,

you know, yeah, exactly that. It's that it's like, you know, like a little cinnamon-y a little like pinecone-y. Yeah. Yeah. It's, very much that it's, it's not bad. It's, it's, it's floral. It's not overpowering. It's like almost kind of taste tea infused. It's, it's interesting. It really is. Like, ⁓ the, the more drinks I've had with it, the more I liked it.

Ice Bear (08:05)
Feels cozy.

I probably would like that.

Good. I'm glad to hear that. It's growing on you.

Grizz (08:26)
The first drink I was like, Ooh, I don't know. And then I had a couple more. I'm like, you know, like

I'm kind of tasting more of the flavors in it. It's, not bad.

Ice Bear (08:37)
Okay. So as you were describing that, I was I was doing ⁓ some some bear research over here because I wanted to be able to describe this and I'm not articulate without resources. So the brewing company here, they describe this as their take on a hazy hop bomb packed with galaxy mosaic and cashmere, conjuring peachy notes with mango, orange, and berry.

Grizz (09:00)
⁓

Interesting.

Ice Bear (09:07)
and the shchievous little number that sneaks up on you with an earthy hop character and a smooth finish. And it is a very smooth finish. Which is what it's. That's it. It's the combination of the smell. So like the start is fantastic. The initial taste on the tongue is fantastic. And then like smooth finish. It's just like the entire experience is pleasurable. So that's fucking well done, boys. And girls, if there's any girl.

Grizz (09:16)
It looked smooth.

Mm.

Ice Bear (09:36)
Brewmasters over at Melwood's.

Fucking good job. What are you doing? You cutting the blinds over there? Jesus man off camera. ⁓ tahin. Fuck. I should try a little bit of tahin with this. ⁓ man, I might. Okay, before I finish this, remind me if you see me getting down to the last bit. Tahin, go get it. Tahin. All right, we have an unusual amount to talk about this week.

Grizz (09:50)
I better be delicious with it.

Da-hee!

Ice Bear (10:08)
Because normally we're just fucking flying by the seat of our pants.

Grizz (10:08)
We actually really do. There's a lot to talk about.

That's true. MetaSopper sells a couple of times. it's a, you know what? Feels like a Christmas miracle. It really does.

Ice Bear (10:18)
It really is a Christmas miracle.

Grizz (10:21)
I have a holly, jolly, jaw broke.

Ice Bear (10:25)
Bareness.

God. Yeah. Yeah. Well, well done. Well played. Smooth transition that I ruined. ⁓

So yeah, let's start there. Let's start there. The question is now, have these fights all been rigged?

Grizz (10:45)
Let's set this up. Okay. We all know what two days ago was the two days ago now. Yeah. So in the not so distant past, the old, the old person everybody loves to hate Jake Paul fought, fought a fella who was very tall in stature and a very, very exciting.

Ice Bear (10:52)
two days ago.

Grizz (11:15)
this fight. So Jake Paul is infamous for a lot of reasons, right. But the biggest the biggest thing is he storm storming like the fighting like the boxer boxing scene and everything like that.

Ice Bear (11:24)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (11:27)
The critique was always, he's not a real fighter. He's not a real fighter. He's making a mockery or whatever, know, X, Y, Z that he always fights has beens or UFC fighter has beens that go into boxing. Like obviously, or not only that, it's also what he pays them off. They're not going to beat him because the paycheck.

Ice Bear (11:31)
Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Grizz (11:55)
And it's

contractually obligated or heavily implied at the very least, right? Like that's, that's always like the thing and very, very fair assessments, right? Like it's, it's very safe to assume that that's going to be the thing because when you have a guy that's rich as fuck, that's very good at marketing and everything and building something really big that also has a giant ego is very safe to assume that that's the case.

Ice Bear (12:02)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Grizz (12:22)
So now we finally get to the thing of Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua or Joshua. Yeah. Josh, right. That's Josh. Anthony Joshua. Yeah. Okay. First two first names. Can I have you can trust him. Yeah. Yeah. So

Ice Bear (12:28)
Anthony Joshua. Yeah.

Stop it. Knock it off, guy.

Grizz (12:42)
This was a big deal because Anthony and Josh was a fucking monster. Right? Huge from second stature. Like Jake Paul's not a small guy. He's about 6'1", 6'2". Anthony and Josh was like, what? 6'4", 6'5"?

Ice Bear (12:45)
Yes.

I think the main thing other than the size advantage is he is a boxer and a current boxer. He's not a boxer that retired 20 years ago.

Grizz (12:57)
But he's all easy. And to be fair. Yeah.

And to be fair. Yeah. So he didn't have a fight for like, what, a year or something like that. So like he, he wasn't very, very active, but he was still an active boxer and you see him and he was still had great conditioning. And this, this guy is a fucking unit of a man. This is a fucking terminator. Right. So this, this was very compelling because it's like, okay, this is the first fight.

Ice Bear (13:14)
Yes.

Mm hmm. Yeah.

Grizz (13:26)
that Jake Paul's going to fight an actual fucking boxer, an actual fighter, somebody that's like, it's still in it. And so that was like the big thing. So like, I went into it. I'll say how I went into it very much like, here we go again. It's going to be back and forth. He's going to be losing a little bit, but he's going to fucking take it. It's going to be a no contest or like, it's going to go up to decision and some bullshit, right? I thought it was going to be that.

Ice Bear (13:51)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (13:55)
I was wrong.

Ice Bear (13:56)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (13:58)
Well, before we go into it, what were your thoughts to it?

Ice Bear (14:06)
Very similar to yours. My main hope was that if there was sort of financial encouragement to take a dive or go easier or, you know, make it a bit more of a spectacle than it needs to be, in the heat of the moment, he was just gonna like, boxing bloodlust, just gonna get into him and just like, I wanted to see him.

Grizz (14:29)
Yeah. So, and I think that's why a of people watch. A lot of people hate watch. ⁓ I don't, I don't think I hate Jake Paul as much as more people do. I did to be, to be fair. I don't follow as much as everything. Right. ⁓ I kind of think it's a character like similar to like how Logan Paul went into the WWE and like, just playing the heel. thought both of them always played the heel basically. Right. so like,

I thought that I thought best case scenario was that Jake Paul was going to get knocked out on accident. You know what I mean? Like, like that, cause again, like it's that famous saying that any 200 pound man can knock out a man, any 200 pound man that can fight can accidentally throw a monster and knock him out. know what mean? Like anything goes, like it's, you can't once, once you introduce violence, even contained or not, like there is a level of chaos that's

Ice Bear (15:04)
Mm. Yeah, just like.

Yes. Yeah. Yep. Yep.

Grizz (15:27)
introduced that you can't account for no matter how much you prepare. So I thought that that was, that was a chance. So that's why I tuned in because you never know. I thought it was already like, already knew it was going to happen, but you know, there's always the what if.

Ice Bear (15:29)
Sure. Agreed.

Mm-hmm.

I'm fully invested in any Netflix fight. it's a not pay, here's the thing, Netflix, because I know they're gonna fucking, now that they're getting bought or whatever, buying whoever, I feel pay per views on the way. The minute that happens, I'm no longer watching. But as of right now, when you're including these things in the subscription, I'm all for it. I'll watch all the Netflix fights. It's a good time.

Grizz (16:00)
straight pirate.

Yeah, and

we had a.

Ice Bear (16:09)
when you don't

have to worry about the 70 or $80 thing like Pacquiao's last few fights were. It's great. The other thing is you and I watched the Tyson fight together. And that was just deeply upsetting. Because that one felt the most rigged to me. Just the weird glove biting, that felt bizarre.

Grizz (16:26)
Yeah.

It was hard. Yeah, it was really

hard because like that one's really hard because it feels rigged, but it also feels like Mike Tyson, not a stable person. And even in even he is like, I think he is also scared of himself.

Ice Bear (16:40)
That's also true.

Grizz (16:48)
You know what I mean? I think a little bit of that. I, I think he's just scared of that. Like blood lust. I think he's a little scared of that. I do think also like, I also do think that, you know, older man adrenaline fucking, I do think that plays a role too, as much as I love Tyson, right? Like I do think it's a combination of things to where I can understand that he lost fair and square, but like, you know, there's that side of me of like,

Ice Bear (16:48)
like he's worried he's gonna like accidentally pop the guy's head off.

I can see that.

Yeah.

Grizz (17:18)
Tyson's one of the goats and you know, like him losing to this and like how bad the performance was, especially seeing all the good training videos. And I'm like, nah, it was wrecked. You know what I mean? Like, but, but I can see how it is legitimate as well. And that, like, that's kind of like, fucks with my old bear heart, you know?

Ice Bear (17:26)
Exactly. Yeah.

Mm hmm. Yep. And that's where we were talking about this a little bit ⁓ before the show here. And we're saying, damn, were they are? Were they all real? Because the other thing is, it's not like he's undefeated. He lost a Fury's nephew or cousin or whoever that dude was. And that was by far the worst fight that was that was boring as hell, because like no one knows who that guy is. He's just kind of a mid card active fighter. ⁓

So, you know, he's lost against every actual boxer that's not 20 years older than him.

Grizz (18:12)
Yeah. It's that and also like, so cause here's the thing that you and so like, that's, think that's the biggest thing, right? Cause was either that, ⁓ the two things were, what were our two dilemmas? was either that was ⁓ B was that the fights are real or real, or it's a, ⁓ I don't even know what the first question you asked. I'm

Ice Bear (18:28)
Mm-hmm.

The pre beers got old grids in a tizzy. our base conundrum was have they all been real and therefore Tyson who we both love the hell like lost Jake Paul, which is terrible.

Grizz (18:38)
Yeah.

⁓ he lost to Logan Paul. Or was it Jake Paul?

Ice Bear (18:56)
Jake Paul. This guy, the guy that fought most recently. Logan Paul hasn't done boxing for a minute. He's been wrestling for years now.

Grizz (18:57)
shit, okay.

it was only it was fucking

McGregor, right?

Ice Bear (19:07)
McGregor lost to Mayweather.

Grizz (19:11)
Really? I'm fucking missing all of them. Who the fuck can Logan Paul fight? Logan Paul fight anybody?

Ice Bear (19:16)
Logan Paul did have a couple of boxing matches, but it was against like rappers and like, and like other UFC. He hasn't fought a boxer yet.

Grizz (19:22)
Okay. Okay. So I'm just

retconning Logan Paul into Jake Paul stuff. Gotcha. All right. That makes sense. All right.

Ice Bear (19:26)
Mixing

up your random rich white YouTubers, which is totally fair. do the same thing. ⁓ But yeah, so I think at this point, man, I don't know. I can see them. Here's what I'm going to leave it to. If in the next few weeks he announces his retirement from boxing, they're all rigged. And this was just how he goes out.

Grizz (19:33)
Yeah.

Fair.

Ice Bear (19:58)
If he wants to try fight again, shit man, I think they might be real. I think this might've been real the whole time. And I think all the UFC fighters, they were just cocky. They're like, this kid doesn't know what he's doing. I'm a fighter. And they didn't recognize, hey, like it is a different sport. Like if it was just like a guy that had zero training going in against a UFC fighter, sure, he's going to have an advantage in any combat sport. But.

for all I hate about this dude, he is training boxing and he's been training boxing for years.

Grizz (20:29)
Yeah. So, and that

was, that was my thing, right? Like, ⁓ like at what point can, can you still say like, like, I get that he's not a boxer, but at what point can you like stop saying that? go, what point is that? Not just not true. Right. Like, you know, he's fighting how many fights, like how much, how much amateur boxers fight nobodies and then they're boxers. Right. Like he's fought.

somebody's has been to not or out of the games or not or whatever. Like he's fought notable people. He's been trained by credible fucking trainers for how many years now? Like at what point is this not a valid, valid critique? Right? Like there wasn't his first team fucking Tyson's team. Right? Like, so at what, at what point can you like, at what point is that not sure? that, can't be the case? Cause like,

Ice Bear (21:07)
Yep.

I think so, yeah.

Certainly

now, certainly at this point, like him or hate him, he is a legitimate boxer at this point.

Grizz (21:27)
Because yeah, yeah, because,

because again, you're trained by a fucking credible blocking team for what years at this point.

Ice Bear (21:39)
The other thing I would say is, assuming they all have been real, just surviving that many rounds with Joshua is impressive. Very impressive.

Grizz (21:47)
Dude, that was huge. Yeah. But,

and, one thing is like, do genuinely believe that Jake Paul's a boxer. I don't know if he's the greatest boxer, like, I think he's him, like his brother is very just. They're large guys that the largest lot of dudes that have like, you know, like they are gifted in the terms of being ⁓ athleticism. Right. But that being said, every single Jake Paul fight that I've seen.

Ice Bear (22:01)
Just athletic dudes.

Grizz (22:16)
Duke is gassed fast. He's, his conditioning is always sucks, right? He's a big dude. His conditioning is always sucks. And the thing is that when you fight somebody that's not in the game as much or whatever, like you're older, this and that, like you can kind of get away with it. But finally, when you get to somebody that's just a fucking beast, whose conditioning is fucking through the fucking roof, it shows very, very fast.

Ice Bear (22:18)
Yep. he was falling a lot.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah. It really did.

Yeah.

Grizz (22:41)
And just like that, he fell apart very quickly because he finally found somebody who was just fucking running circles around them. You know, and like, I, and so.

Ice Bear (22:44)
Mm-hmm.

Yep.

Yeah, that was interesting

to see he was on his heels the entire time. Like he was he was backpedaling the entirety of that fight.

Grizz (22:59)
Yeah. And even the couple of good hits that he got on fucking Anthony Joshua was like, you just ate it? And it was just like, he just ate it and it was like, nothing. Do a smile. Like my, my favorite is like, they're paying the memes of like Anthony Joshua with the pet pay where he's like winding up smiling. And then it's Jake Paul with the hamster, like the, like, it's so funny, but it's, know, like, again, like, I think there's good in my, you know,

Ice Bear (23:09)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

You

Yeah.

Yeah, it was very good.

Grizz (23:29)
I think I'm sure it was cathartic for a of people to see him lose because people hate him. But like, you know, think this sets, I think it's also sets the other side to bed. Like you can, you can like say whatever you want because you hate the guy, but like, think you're kind of full of shit if you still say he's not a boxer.

Ice Bear (23:33)
Mm-hmm.

Yep. Yep.

Grizz (23:47)
But I do think this is the perfect, I think this is the perfect ⁓ segue from him to Lee boxing and going to WWE.

Ice Bear (23:57)
Honestly, if he did, and he is anywhere near as engaging as his brother, they can run with it. Because right now, now that scene is done, it's bad. Like, his brother is the only engaging content in that.

Grizz (24:01)
It's perfect.

Yeah, there's nobody. Yeah.

Yeah. Cause because

because because think of this, so we talk about, like I said, like, like this, him losing weight, what if him losing is like part of the thing or like, you know, whether it's rigged or not, what if he just picked somebody who knew he couldn't beat? And so he could lose to right. And then it starts his villain art and maybe comes back in boxing as the heel, like put a real boxer, right. Or it's his villain art going into the WWE. And that's why he wore a fucking Hulk Hogan jacket and shit going out to the ring. You know what I mean?

Ice Bear (24:41)
Yeah.

I...

I hope it's that.

Grizz (24:47)
That would be the best case scenario because like that's what they were like Logan Paul and Jake Paul played the heel just in normal social media. So then go, like them going to WWE where the heels and the heels and actual thing, it's fucking perfect for them. I'll make more money than they already have a lot of money, but they'll make more money than God. They'll fuck you. You know what I mean? Like it's it's the fucking perfect move. I hope that's what they do.

Ice Bear (25:08)
now.

out. It.

It's good for him and. It desperately needs something. Because I don't know the last time you watched a match, it's it's so bad compared to what it was when we were kids. The drop off is substantial and I get part of it is no one's on coke anymore and like they're on Lester Royds and they have concussion protocols and they're trying to protect them and all that shit. But it's

Grizz (25:30)
Mm-hmm.

Ice Bear (25:41)
Bad.

Grizz (25:42)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (25:44)
cells are terrible the the stunts are other than paul the stunts are garbage well at least paul will still jump off the cage and shit but that was the thing like did you ever like do you remember the hardy brothers

Grizz (25:52)
Mm-hmm.

yeah, 1000%.

Ice Bear (25:59)
like, like a TLC match with them. Knowing it's fake. It's still like, this is amazing. Like this is a crazy like, action soap opera. Like that is bananas that you just climbed a fucking 40 foot ladder. Summer sold it off of it through a table like that parts real that happened like you're just fucking insane. So

Grizz (26:13)
Yeah.

I don't know, This thing kind of has me excited about what could be.

And I'm really hoping he goes into the WWU with his brother and like, they're a whole thing because like it's fucking also to off the side. It's per I thought it was perfect though. He fucking came out with fucking Takashi six nine. Like it was perfect for him. it's like, it it was like, it was good.

Ice Bear (26:49)
Yeah, what a lad. What an absolute lad. Shit, man. Goblin's Trill. I finished it without doing the Tahin like a moron. ⁓ It is really good. I'm not I'm not willing to go s. But it is a strong a plus. Strong, strong, strong a plus.

Grizz (27:10)
Great

name, doing great art, I love it. ⁓ Yule Block, I was gonna give it like a fucking B-line, or C+. By the end of it, it won me over. I think it's all it'd be, it's acceptable. It's a good beer. I think next Christmas I would get it again. Yeah, it won me over. It's good, it's a good beer.

Ice Bear (27:19)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Now.

Nice.

Now here's my

follow-up question. The beers that you had prior in the bar, what kind of grades were they getting?

Grizz (27:47)
Well, I Got a fucking I don't even know the name it's the brewery that does meows. Ah, well not as good as meows. Yeah, meows the best So it's not as good meows, but it was you know, I'd be wasn't terrible that was good It was a very very nice easy drink and IPA was great. And then I a leasian space dust Great beer. It's one of the it's one of the best beers you can get

Ice Bear (27:54)
Meowza!

That's a great name.

Grizz (28:13)
best high ABB beers you can get from a bar on draft typically, at least over here in this, the, in the PNW. like solid also just like a B barely they're good beers, but like nothing right home about.

Ice Bear (28:28)
Nice. So it's been kind of a... ⁓ acceptably midnight for Ol' Gris.

Grizz (28:35)
It's been a pretty good time. It's been a pretty good time.

Ice Bear (28:36)
Alright.

Well now that your vessel is once again empty and sad, I'm going to fill them up one more time.

You ready for another tandem Christmas crack?

Grizz (28:50)
⁓ yeah, I'm ready and I... I'm ready and I am worried.

Ice Bear (28:52)
All right.

Alright,

do we give this a Feliz Navidad? Feliz Navidad.

Grizz (29:08)
I think we got that perfectly. I think we actually got that one fucking perfectly. Holy shit, that was good.

Ice Bear (29:08)
I think we did time it okay.

I'm taking taking the reins this time because you started the last one. So once again, over here we have another collab between blood brothers and Bellwoods Brewery. Another double IPA another 8 % another delightful pagan brewski this is devil's sauce.

Grizz (29:24)
Just do it, yeah, do it, cause I'm a...

Boom,

That's fucking awesome. I like that. I like that one a lot. It's very like exorcist meets insidious.

Ice Bear (29:48)
Yeah, me too.

Yes, this is ⁓ a cashmere galaxy mosaic. So we're dealing with all the same hops. ⁓ The smell is far more citrus. Without knowing anything, I'm guessing it's going to be like a grapefruit.

Ooh, interesting. I have to look that up. I don't know what that flavor is.

Grizz (30:24)
That's kind of scary.

Ice Bear (30:26)
No, it's a good scared. I'm a good scared. ⁓ I just like, I wouldn't even have a guess. Devils? A-stiles.

Grizz (30:29)
⁓ okay, all right.

Ice Bear (30:40)
Devil's Sals. Yes, I'm 19. Jesus.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, yep, yep, yep, yep, called it. All right, so Mosaic Cashmere Galaxy independently added our own special flair to the shared recipe, the resulting big, bold yet soft body dail, highly aromatic notes of mango, citrus zest, melon, tropical punch. It's the tropical punch that I think I was not expecting.

Grizz (31:17)
I'm you. I really don't like when Trump like when punch stuff is in beers. I've tried a few of them thinking that'd be good, but like, ⁓ I've been disappointed every single time.

Ice Bear (31:32)
You know what this is like? This is like that ⁓

What were the knockoff high seas called? You know what I'm talking about? They didn't have a straw. had like a, like a, it kind of tore open like a milk carton. Fuck, what were those called? No, no, there's no straw at all. It was, it was like, was, it was, it was always, I don't know, in Maryland and Virginia, it was always like under the high sea on like the, maybe it was just a store brand.

Grizz (31:49)
Not a Capri- a Capri Sun?

No, okay, no straw.

Was it like the store brand? like over here we had one where it was like a rain way. There were bears in barrels and they had a little foil tops and they were like the store brand shitty. Like there's no flavors, but like it was like red, blue, Yeah. Okay. So it's probably similar to that. Right. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

Ice Bear (32:15)
It just purple drank. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Yep. Same concept as that. But it was

just in like a little like a milk carton thing because you tore the paper and punched out. ⁓ It tastes like the fruit punch version of that. And I say that kind of praising Lee. It works. It's interesting. It smells great. It's another one that smells really, really good. And I just love looking at the little bears ears. He's just

Grizz (32:26)
Yeah.

This fucking

cute as shit. I love it. I love that shit.

Ice Bear (32:44)
He's just a jolly little guy.

Vessels McGee, that's what they call me.

Grizz (32:58)
Alright, this one I was not sure if I was gonna like or not. I'm not the huge fan of this brand, you know, crash mash is all I thinking. So I'm just gonna go straight into this. I was reading this can, there was nothing. This is an eight, 9.8. This is from fucking, I don't know where the fuck this from.

Ice Bear (33:07)
Christmas!

Grizz (33:21)
It's not Germany, but it feels like a German beer.

Ice Bear (33:25)
Bro, I think this is the one that I've had before.

Grizz (33:28)
Belgian hops, think it is. Belgian hops, PENT 1KR Belgian family brewers. This is, yep, I think you have had it.

Ice Bear (33:40)
St. Augustine or something?

Grizz (33:42)
Saint Bernardus. Saint Bernardus Christian.

Ice Bear (33:45)
Yep. Yeah. So I've had the glass.

I've had the glass bottle of that. That is the one that did the first ever S tier for me. Yeah.

Grizz (33:49)
9.8.

⁓ so

we'll see. We'll see. Can I smell this?

I'm smelling this and I'm not getting this. It's all I'm saying. This ain't a nest.

Ice Bear (34:03)
I'm pretty sure that one though,

the one that you have, if I'm not mistaken, we'll have to go to the tape. I think this is the first one I poured out.

I'm pretty sure this is that one. think I poured that out. Not an S tier, brother. But I for sure know that is one of the ones that I got it again.

Grizz (34:19)
So not a nest here?

My soot sprites got me on lock just in case this one sucks. I'm gonna give this one big swig and if it's not good, I'm pouring it out too, cause I can't do this. All right.

Ice Bear (34:35)
Nice.

Yeah,

I don't blame you. So hold on before you give it the swing. Is the initial smell like almost like ash?

Grizz (34:43)
Da da da

Hmm. No, it's more sweet. Like I'm thinking like

Like dates, like dates. I'm getting dates. ⁓

Ice Bear (35:04)
Mmm. Mm-hmm.

Just do it. Just do it. think it's the terrible one. I'm pretty sure it's the terrible one. I feel so bad for you if it is.

Grizz (35:18)
you

Ice Bear (35:23)
that's a big swig.

Ha

I'm not, I'm not trying to laugh at your disappointment. I feel so bad for you. I'm pretty sure this is that one. Hold on. Let's go to our, let's, let's go to our untapped resources, which in fairness, I have not been using that for like months.

Grizz (35:50)
I have, yeah,

I've been lagging severely.

Ice Bear (35:55)
⁓ it's called Christmas Ale, right?

Grizz (35:58)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (36:03)
Christmas ale by by Saint Saint what Saint Bernaduce

Grizz (36:08)
Belgian.

Yes, ain't Bernadette's question.

Ice Bear (36:14)
There we go.

⁓ no, ⁓ no, I'm totally wrong. Dude, this is the one I really liked.

Grizz (36:25)
Yeah, here's here's the thing with this one. Yeah.

Ice Bear (36:28)
I found it. I gave

this a 4.75 out of 5.

Grizz (36:32)
Here's the thing with this one. Like I'm not disgusted with it because again, like I kind of compare it like I'll compare anything I don't like to the fucking Ukrainian trash. Fucking the Putin was right. The Putin was right. Ale like this, this one it's interesting because I, I don't like it, but also I don't hate it. And like,

Ice Bear (36:44)
You

for Christmas.

Okay. Do you want me?

Grizz (37:03)
So because I'm getting like I'm getting very like dates. I'm getting very much like dried fruit. I'm getting like chestnuts probably about the right word, but I'm getting chestnut. I don't know what else to call it.

Ice Bear (37:15)
Dude,

do you want me to give you, I found the brewery. Do you want me to give you the description? I feel like you might like it more if you know what it is.

Grizz (37:19)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Cause like I don't, I don't love it, but I don't hate it. Like I'm going to finish this one for sure. I'm not pulling this one out. This is not a pour out beer, but like I'm not, I'm giving it.

It's just interesting because like my initial it's like in the first half, I don't like it. The second half, I like it. So I'm like, I don't know how to feel about it. It's hard.

Ice Bear (37:51)
All right, let me me edumacate you and then you give it a little time you let it simmer on your taste buds. So this this my good bear is from Vlaams Guest Belgium. The St. Bernaduce Christmas Ale has the name and all the our two Belgian listeners like why the fuck do they think we sound like this? Das Unter Belgium Ja. ⁓ This dark beer is filled with winter cheer.

Grizz (37:54)
Alright.

Yeah

I'm sorry guys. Y'all.

Ice Bear (38:21)
and feels like Christmas in a bottle. Warm, cozy, really inviting you to enjoy together with family or friends. It takes on a splendid dark brown color. That's correct, it looks dark brown.

Grizz (38:32)
Yeah,

it has like hues in red too, which is interesting.

Ice Bear (38:35)
topped off with a cream colored layer of froth, an intensely dark beer with a full yet slightly fruity flavor, overflowing with tastes of winter and zesty seasonal aromas. All right, dude, I never know how to say this word. Aniseed? Anis-ed? Anise, yeah, so licorice.

Grizz (38:54)
Oh, I need it's fucking licorice. And he says licorice.

So he says like, it tastes like licorice or the fennel. Yeah. Okay. I get that. I get that. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That's what. Yeah.

Ice Bear (39:00)
Yep, yep, complimented by hints of creamy caramel and fire roasted chestnuts, which you've already said.

The zestiness shows no signs of abating, pushing through to a magnificent finish of dried fruit and chocolate.

Grizz (39:18)
Yeah. I mean, to be fair, that's it's perfect. What they're saying is exactly what this is. Like this.

This is an interesting one because they nail all the flavors. I get the sweet. get fucking, again, I got dried fruit and fucking chestnuts. You know what mean? That's that's a...

Ice Bear (39:39)
You

This lady on untapped gave it one star and said, if I wanted to eat a fucking fruitcake, I'd just kill myself. That's so, so unnecessarily harsh. Jesus.

Grizz (39:50)
Hahaha!

Oh, fuck. That's good. That's good. It's here's the here's the thing. It's hard. I don't like this, but I don't hate it. And like, from not knowing anything, I clocked all the flavors, but the fucking, but the fucking the fucking Fennel and he's like, like, that was the only one I didn't clock. And that was probably what it was. I was like, it's like chestnut, but not

Ice Bear (40:02)
So anyway, well, and Belgium, it has one and a half stamps of bear approval.

You did. You.

Grizz (40:25)
And that's probably the fucking flavor that didn't. So like they did a great job with this beer. Objectively they did.

Ice Bear (40:26)
You

You have a

very good palette. You should go on Hell's Kitchen or some some sort of some sort of cooking thing where your palette is judged because I think you would win. Meanwhile, I would be the guy with a blindfold that give me a banana.

Grizz (40:32)
I guess I fucking do. Yeah. Gordon Ramsey.

But, no,

Ice Bear (40:49)
tuna fish?

Like not even in the ballpark.

Grizz (40:56)
Again, this is interesting because it's like, this is very interesting because it's like, I don't like it, but I don't hate it. I think I like it more than I hate it. You telling me the things like if they fucking nailed it perfectly, does that not make it an objectively good beer? Like this is like, you know, it's one of those where like, even though it's not my cup of tea, I can see how this is great. You know what I mean?

Ice Bear (41:14)
They did what they set out to do.

Kind of like the couple we've had that are like perfectly orange creamsicles. And if you just didn't like an orange creamsicle, you'd be like, no, they were trying to do that. They did good.

Grizz (41:31)
Yeah.

Yeah. Because

I, I don't feel comfortable saying this is a bad beer. Even before you told me, even before you told me the thing like.

Ice Bear (41:39)
Yeah.

Grizz (41:44)
It's not bad. Even though I don't, I'm not a fan of these flavors. It's not bad. Cause even before I knew I still couldn't say it was a bad beer.

Ice Bear (41:45)
Mm.

Grizz (41:55)
This is interesting. I,

Ice Bear (42:00)
Do you fuck with fruitcake?

Grizz (42:02)
I've actually never had fruitcake to be perfectly honest. I've gin. So, so, here's the thing. I, what I thought was fruitcake was fruit salad.

Ice Bear (42:04)
Really? You f-

What?

Grizz (42:13)
that

I didn't like.

Ice Bear (42:16)
So wait, you were having a fruit salad and just in your brain you're like this is fruitcake. I don't know what people are on about.

Grizz (42:20)
I assumed it was because

I heard a fruitcake before and that's the only thing I fucking know that was like weird. And there was like a fucking concoction of fucking weird canned fruit and shit. And I hate, I hate fruit salad to be very honest. So like.

Ice Bear (42:35)
Here's what I need you to look up. I need you to look up and see if the concept of this destroys you unless you already know what it is.

Grizz (42:40)
Is it the, the,

is it the 10 with the fucking the loves of the gelatin looking thing? And I know what fruitcake is. Is that fruitcake?

Ice Bear (42:49)
Fruitcake is picture banana bread. Now make it more dense and fill it with all the fruit that you don't like. And you've got fruitcake. Like that. Yeah, no, but here's the thing I'm curious, knowing that you hate fruit salad too. Are you familiar with Waldorf salad?

Grizz (42:59)
Yeah.

I hate it.

I've never heard of that in my life.

Ice Bear (43:13)
Okay, so Waldorf salad. This might be a mid Atlantic thing. This is one of the few acquired taste things that I actually grow grew to like because I remember hating it as a kid. And as I got older, I was like, you know what? I think I kind of like this shit. And then now as an adult, I'm like, if I ever encounter it, I'm like, I could go for some Waldorf salad. So I'm looking up a recipe, because I don't want to fuck it up. I know the two key ingredients.

Grizz (43:26)
Okay, okay.

Ice Bear (43:44)
but I want to make sure I'm getting the others.

All right, so classic Waldorf salad. What's in it, you ask? Crisp tart apples, celery, walnuts, pecans, grapes, raisins, lemon juice, sugar. Here's where I'm about to lose you and a lot of the people listening. Heavy pinch of salt, mayonnaise.

Grizz (44:13)
I love it. It's fun.

Ice Bear (44:16)
whipped cream and it is primarily mayonnaise and whipped cream like it's like it's it's a mayonnaise pudding with celery and apples in it

Grizz (44:23)
So it's like a fruit salad, yeah.

I can see how the celery and apples are complimentary though, to be very honest. Where it lost me was the raisins and mayonnaise.

Ice Bear (44:34)
Yeah, dude.

Here's the thing. So a lot of people would use like, Hellmann's like that kind of mayonnaise. I was in the like set, well we use salad dressing, it's like Miracle Whip is close. like, do you know what I'm saying when I say salad dressing?

Grizz (44:49)
I'm Eric Quip.

Yes,

so it's tangy. It's more tangy. It's less dense. Yeah, a little sweet. Okay. I can see that mixing with whipped cream better.

Ice Bear (44:59)
and sweet. Yeah.

Yeah, so my mom would make that occasionally and she would not always do the raisins. It was normally just apples, grapes, and celery. But man, I could go for some right now. If someone presented me with a bowl of Waldorf salad, I think I'd go to town.

Grizz (45:23)
It's

one of those where I would try and I would probably be, I, is it safe to say, well, here's the thing. I, so I hate artificial sweet, right? So I hate cause like fruit salad to me is always the canned fruits, which is like the only canned fruit I like is fucking can pair shout out to all the pairs like fucking great, right? Like, but all the other canned fruits fucking sucks. And so like,

Ice Bear (45:29)
If you don't like fruit salad, I think you'd hate it.

that quick, quick time out.

Do you ever do you ever watch or listen back to the episodes and just sober hear the things we shout out and go like, what the fuck were we talking about? Because I've told you before, I play our episodes for the dogs, they hear our voices and they're calm when we're out. And I did a shout out for something. I don't remember what it was. But I was like, what was I on about? Fucking shout out pencils.

Grizz (46:01)
You

Here's the best thing though.

Here's the best thing though. Okay. So John said the page is funny, right? But what's, but what's funny about trying to tell the pairs is, so shall I show the pairs is a very, very light. I don't think it's obscure, but it's very like, I guess somewhat niche. I get reference is that when Rick Ross, the rapper was losing weight, he was talking about how he was dieting. ⁓

I started eating fruit. It's so like here. It makes it better because you don't know that it's like, all right. ⁓

Ice Bear (47:07)
no, I'm

ready.

Grizz (47:24)
You

Ice Bear (47:31)
shout out bears okay hold on help me out is okay you know like a lot of rappers have that like pre verse noise or whatever they do like Jadakiss has that is Rick Ross the guys look is that Rick Ross is he the grunt guy

Grizz (47:34)
You

Yeah

Oh, yeah,

he's a fucking, yeah, it's a purple Lamborghini.

Ice Bear (47:52)
Uh-huh.

Amazing. Fuck, shout out to the pairs. I'm never gonna be able to eat.

Grizz (47:57)
Yeah. Shout out to all the parents. Fucking got my boy, Rick Ross,

got my boy, Rick Ross, undiabetic.

Ice Bear (48:04)
Never again am I ever going to see a pair and be able to think anything other than shout out to the pairs.

Grizz (48:09)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (48:12)
Charles Barkley is gonna do it for Ozempic.

Grizz (48:16)
You've taught a big girl in San Antonio. Shout out to the National Zimdick.

Ice Bear (48:18)
You

Shout out to the churros. Them big girls and them big britches under britches.

Grizz (48:36)
the

It's gonna just be They're gonna go from big girls in San Antonio turn them lollipop head heaven girls in San Antonio

Ice Bear (48:51)
heads fuck goes epic is a weird drug man people like they look so gaunt they look like did you ever play fallout they have like that feral rule physique afterwards

Grizz (48:54)
It really is.

Yeah.

It's so weird because like their face is fat but not

Ice Bear (49:08)
with that sunken face.

It's very weird. It's a weird look.

Grizz (49:15)
It's an odd thing.

Ice Bear (49:16)
It's it's not a people here. Here's here's my non doctor advice. Don't take drugs for things that they're not meant for. Just stop it. It will catch you eventually.

Grizz (49:27)
I mean, like, wasn't like penicillin and shit like not meant what it was meant for, but it was like

Ice Bear (49:35)
I mean, there's plenty of shit that's like wound up getting a market for a side effect rather than it's a root because Viagra is a heart medication.

Grizz (49:40)
Yeah.

Oh shit. I thought Big O's Envo was taking you down. If I was there for second, I thought Big O's Envo was taking you down.

Ice Bear (49:49)
no, Bigo's

Hempix taking me down. I was saying that Viagra's heart medication.

Grizz (49:56)
That taking it down, it's censoring you.

Ice Bear (50:01)
This is wild. Really? It censored me twice.

Grizz (50:04)
Yeah.

I just hurt twice. That's all I heard.

Ice Bear (50:10)
Is it

still censoring me?

Grizz (50:12)
Are you good now?

Ice Bear (50:14)
Okay, it's not censoring me now. Okay, I wonder if there's like, all right, I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try say the brand again, I'm scared. Viagra.

Grizz (50:16)
No, you're good.

Ice Bear (50:27)
Did it censor me again?

Grizz (50:28)
Like a fucking blue horse. Okay, I got you.

Ice Bear (50:31)
Okay, yes, so that was that

was a heart medication.

Grizz (50:34)
I didn't know that. That's awesome.

Ice Bear (50:36)
Yeah, so like that that was the total side effect. It was a blood pressure thing.

Grizz (50:42)
That's pretty cool. That's like, what are the movie Gerald scheme?

Ice Bear (50:44)
Can you imagine being

being the ⁓ wait sorry what movie

Grizz (50:49)
Gerald's where the guy like has takes Viagra and fucking has a heart attack and dies and while the girls like in a cabin and like they were like doing kinky stuff and she's like fucking shit hang off to the bed It's not bad. But like it's not great. It's not good cuz like Stephen King stories I know like shining and stuff and everything but like even honestly even shining

Ice Bear (50:58)
I'm aware of it. I've never seen it.

Grizz (51:13)
They're like good, also kind of suck. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. I like the Shiner. I like the shining isn't great, but Jack Nicholson makes it. Jack Nicholson makes it great. You know what I mean? Like, cause the stories are good, but they're like not great. They're like easily forgettable, but also good at the same time.

Ice Bear (51:25)
Yeah, yeah. ⁓

I'm trying to-

I'm trying to think if there's any thing he did that isn't remarkably mid.

Grizz (51:41)
⁓ you know, it's kind of, did he do the fucking goblin 18 wheeler? Was that him?

Ice Bear (51:49)
I don't know, but I hope so. That I could get behind.

Grizz (51:53)
It's like where like 18 wheelers, like other cars that had like a life thing and like the face was a fucking, 18 wheeler had a goblin face on the front of it. I'm pretty sure that was him or it was like Wes Craven. It was one of those, it was one of those like, you know, 90s, 2000s, fucking like, yeah, like.

Ice Bear (52:02)
It could it could be I mean that sounds like something he would do I'm not aware of that one, but it sounds real His

most famous ones I can think of her it which is okay

Grizz (52:16)
Which you know, like it's cool remakes cool but also like when you kind of see like children orgy and like giant galactic space turtle kind of like is a little weird.

Ice Bear (52:25)
Yeah,

yeah, I'm not, I'm not, not about that. And they did a good job in the movie avoiding that entirely. ⁓ Pet Cemetery is okay. The only one I remember really liking was Cujo. Cujo was cool.

Grizz (52:32)
Yeah.

Kujo was cool. Here's the thing too. Kujo was cool, but Kujo's also kind of mid. Like when's the last time you're like, I'm going to fucking watch Kujo. Straight up.

Ice Bear (52:52)
Okay,

I see what you're saying. If replayability is the litmus test, then none of them have it.

Grizz (52:56)
Because I do like Kujo too.

I like Kujo and I like Shining. I can't tell you the last time I watched them and when I like what thought I should rewatch them or wanted to show somebody them.

Ice Bear (53:07)
That's a very good point. Yeah, there's, because there's a few movies that I don't necessarily want to rewatch myself, but I will recommend highly to someone that hasn't seen it. Like if you haven't seen, Hereditary, I'm gonna, I'm gonna be like, you should go see Hereditary. But I'm never gonna be, yeah, that's a very good point. I would never be like, bro, you need to, you seen Cujo? I would never, that's not a conversation I'm having with anyone ever.

Grizz (53:18)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah, so it's kind of one of those things like I don't know what sparked this, but I it for a while. was like, I don't know a lot of fucking Stephen King movies where I'm like, you gotta fucking watch. I'll watch it with you. don't like, know, but again, like I like the shining.

I'll never watch it again unless it's like on in the waiting room for something or Cujo. ⁓ you know what mean? Like

Ice Bear (54:01)
So, so these basically

he is the the beer equivalent of a C minus.

Grizz (54:09)
Yeah, you know, he's elevator music. Or you know, you know what it is? It's not elevator music. You know, something that's great waiting music, but fucking hits is you know, it's the

Ice Bear (54:13)
Mmm.

Grizz (54:24)
And it's like, do do do do do do do do. Right. That's Stephen King.

Ice Bear (54:25)
yeah, yeah.

Okay, hold on. So I'm looking at the list and there are two that I actually... Oh no, am I a robot again? Oh, now you're a robot.

I it it actually it actually kind of makes you cooler because it's you're doing the deep voice but your robot at the same time.

Grizz (54:46)
Deep Soul Trim Air.

Ice Bear (54:57)
It's pretty neat. All right, well, I don't know, do we we fight through it? Do we brave through this a little bit?

Grizz (55:06)
We'll bring you through this for a second and see how it goes.

Ice Bear (55:13)
All right. Here's book one that I just saw the movie and I really enjoyed it. The Long Walk was a really good movie.

Highly recommend it. The Green Mile is a really good movie.

Grizz (55:28)
That's incorrected. Ooh, ooh,

okay.

Grizz (55:36)
Maybe I'm just stuck. That was weird. Maybe I'm just stuck on. That was weird. I don't know. I have no idea. Why am I going?

Ice Bear (55:41)
What happened? Why are you here now? Why are you echoing now?

You're very echoey now.

Grizz (55:48)
Not on my end.

Ice Bear (55:51)
Alright, well let's keep going. Can you hear me okay now?

Grizz (55:53)
I hear you perfectly.

Ice Bear (55:55)
What happened? And also, also did it switch your camera?

Grizz (55:57)
I have no idea.

I'm... maybe? I don't think it did.

Ice Bear (56:02)
Your face is a different angle now.

Who knows? All right, so long walk.

Grizz (56:07)
Anyways,

so maybe I was stuck on Stephen King Kor or stuff, but I didn't even know Stephen King wrote Cream on because read Mile, the movie. I don't know about the book, the movie. Fucking fantastic.

Ice Bear (56:13)
Yeah.

Very good.

Agreed. ⁓ okay.

Grizz (56:23)
Even

when he grabbed that guy's biddies and just threw up the flies, fucking great.

Ice Bear (56:27)
Yeah

Okay, now that I'm looking at a full list, there's a lot that I think we were not counting because they're not typical Stephen King things. You ready for another one that he wrote that I didn't know about at all? Shawshank Redemption. I had no idea. I had no idea that was him.

Grizz (56:42)
Hit me. Hit me.

⁓ fuck, okay, that's a pain. That's a masterpiece. I had no idea too.

That's a masterpiece. right, all right, Stephen King, I still think, I still think your horror shit's fucking wack, but like Green Mouse, Shawshank, Redemption.

Ice Bear (56:54)
Sorry, we owe you an apology.

Grizz (57:05)
You deserve all those flowers.

Ice Bear (57:06)
Alright.

⁓ We also have

⁓ I didn't know he did Carrie. He did Carrie. He did he did Pet Sematary. He did Doctor Sleep. He did the Mist. He did Under the Dome.

Grizz (57:17)
Yeah, I he did carry. He's also made this fuck to me. Yeah.

Yeah.

Don't let that one.

Ice Bear (57:34)
If I know any of the rest of the... Gerald's Game, Night Shift, Talisman, Children of the Corn. Okay.

Grizz (57:39)
I mean, children are also meant to be very happy.

Ice Bear (57:41)
Yeah,

yeah, no, that's fair. That's 1408 was pretty good.

Grizz (57:48)
Fortunately it was good. Fuckin, yeah. What's homie's name? Yeah, yeah, junkie's name. I love, I fuckin love that guy to be honest. I love that guy a lot.

Ice Bear (57:51)
John Cusack.

He has kind of a, an old white Keanu Reeves kind of vibe to him.

Grizz (58:05)
I

was gonna say he's like fucking, ⁓ what's the fucking guy that I talk like this, but you know, it like a, yeah, so he's like Christopher, Christopher, Christopher Walken. He's like a Christopher Walken.

Ice Bear (58:15)
Christopher Walken. ⁓

That is

by far the best walk in impression I've ever heard.

Can you please do the more cowbell bit really quick?

Just say more cowbell. That's all I need. You don't have to do the whole bit. Just say more cowbell. Just say, I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell.

Grizz (58:41)
Yeah.

I'm glad you got that because I really couldn't think of his name at all.

So I'm really glad you got that because I didn't have it.

Ice Bear (59:03)
You got the jumpy cadence.

All right, Grizzlybot, you're fully robot again.

Grizz (59:14)
Big Stephen

King silencing us, because I don't hear you where that...

Ice Bear (59:18)
your full full robot.

⁓ now you're just silent. Now you're just gone.

Grizz (59:27)
got nothing. I hate it. Nope.

Ice Bear (59:34)
Do we just wish the people a Merry Christmas?

Grizz (59:35)
This is crazy.

This is where we're gonna go. We are gonna talk. Like this.

Ice Bear (59:45)
This is just one long Christopher Walken bit.

Grizz (59:47)
We're gonna go on the hunt.

I'm gonna assume that Stephen King. ⁓

Can you hear me?

Ice Bear (59:59)
It's every other word. You're coming in and out like a like a little like a little in and outer

Grizz (1:00:02)
Yes?

Can you hear me yes

or no?

I'm going to assume no. So, we are going to do this. Here, this.

Ice Bear (1:00:14)
Yeah.

Grizz (1:00:23)
We're going in blind. This beard here is...

I don't feel comfortable giving it a lower grade because it did exactly what it wanted to do. It's not my cup of tea, but it's not bad. I'm going to give this an A minus. A minus, this one here. Not my cup of tea. For me, I'd give it a C plus, C minus. But it did exactly what it wanted to. It was a great beer. So I'm butting up to an A minus. Somebody said it was S tier. I think they deserve it. Ice Bear, I love you.

You deserve the S tier. What about you?

Ice Bear (1:01:12)
Double A+.

Grizz (1:01:12)
He doesn't know the fuck I'm

talking about. All right, he's giving you both A+. I'm saying it for both of us. I love you, bye.

Ice Bear (1:01:15)
Double A+.

Bye.
