What is 2 Bears 2 Beers?

"2 Bears 2 Beers" is a fun and laid-back podcast where two friends, often indulging in a beer or two, chat about anything and everything. 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 (00:33)
Mine didn't really have, mine really didn't have a.

Ice Bear (00:34)
Ooh.

You just had a good after pop though.

Grizz (00:41)
I think that was all you.

Cool.

Ice Bear (00:57)
just screams Halloween. A little bit of a Halloween-y right there.

Now I have to ask, when you heard that crack, did it sound familiar to you?

Grizz (01:12)
sounded like the refined taste of all papagris screaming in the

Ice Bear (01:18)
you did.

You did know that sound. You knew that this here was Moosehead. The finest of Canadian loggers to start out domestic week. Moosehead, of course, being a 5 % a lager dedicated to those who have the courage to turn obstacles into opportunities and passion that makes the hard days work so rewarding. Well, let me tell you, I'm feeling courageous.

Grizz (01:23)
Hahaha!

Well, I'll let you know this right here, right now. You're talking about courageous and I'm here to protect our protectors. I'm protecting our protectors right here. This is a proudly support in America's firefighters with a 5 % Coors banquet, the champagne of beers, if you will.

Ice Bear (02:05)
God Coors Banquet that is I I'm not gonna lie I considered doing a Coors Banquet because it is the champagne of beers and sometimes you want to be classy but I wanted to pay respects to Papa Grizz first and foremost.

Grizz (02:23)
He'll be delighted to hear that and to see that.

Ice Bear (02:28)
I think my favorite part about this week is normally we go about 20 to 30 minutes before we finish up a beer. I feel like these are gonna be gone in like 15.

Grizz (02:40)
it was actually done.

Ice Bear (02:47)
I get why people like them. Like I get why someone would like a pilsner, right? Or a lager. They're easy to drink.

Grizz (02:53)
Yeah, like,

um, remember again, my dad busting out the moose head. I remember having one. I'm like, Dan, this is, this is some good stuff. That's right here.

Ice Bear (03:07)
you

Well, guys and ghouls, it's Halloween here at old 2B2B.

Grizz (03:23)
You know what's crazy about Halloween is that we're future travelers.

Ice Bear (03:28)
We are future travelers.

Grizz (03:29)
because nobody knows why we're doing domestic week because it's not

Ice Bear (03:35)
You

did tell you specifically all right guys he told me before we started recording specifically that we're gonna post out of order and that no one's gonna know and I forgot in the span of fucking seven minutes, so You were supposed to know about this now. We're just drinking shit beer for no reason, but you know what? What's a good time? Nothing wrong with a little moose head now and again

Grizz (03:58)
Yeah, it's this is foreshadowing. This

is a prequel. It's a prequel.

Ice Bear (04:04)
We start doing all episodes like a Christopher Nolan movie. It's just memento. I just look at my arm. It's like, record the podcast. ⁓ God.

Grizz (04:09)
Hahaha

Those like really not off the wall movies, like non linear movies are pretty cool. Was that one Magnolia?

Ice Bear (04:30)
Mm-hmm. I'm fully fu-

Magnolia. I don't know if I know that one.

Grizz (04:36)
Am I remembering that

right?

Ice Bear (04:39)
I mean, it sounds like a movie. I just don't know it.

Wait, is that the Bill Murray one?

Grizz (04:48)
Yeah, it's a remember, it's a 1909 film. It's Tom Cruise, believe. Tom Cruise and...

Ice Bear (04:55)
Nope, that's

not what I'm thinking of then. Disregard. ⁓

Grizz (05:01)
I'm pretty sure.

Ice Bear (05:06)
What's your best time jump around movie?

Grizz (05:11)
Steins Gate.

Ice Bear (05:15)
Dude, is... Steins Gate kills me because I want so desperately to like it because you've told me for years how much you love it. And based on everything you've told me, I'm sure I will fucking like it. But every time I start it, I get three episodes in and I just fucking flake on it every time.

Grizz (05:36)
And

the thing is like, that's a common thing with it. Cause like most people say, ⁓ the four first four episodes are rough, get through four episodes. And then it just goes like, basically now I can't relate because like from episode one, I was like, okay, I'm cool. I'm cool with this. Right? Like I was like, I wanted to watch it. Right. cause it ends, it ends like with the whole murder thing. Like it's, you know, it's interesting. That's episode one.

Ice Bear (05:53)
You were engaged. Yeah.

SPOILERS!

I might watch it. ⁓

Grizz (06:05)
That's that's the first episode. That's the first episode.

Literally the first episode, right? So like, so after that, I was like, okay, I'm interested. But I can say objectively that it's like a roller coaster in the sense that the first four episodes is just world building. And it's like, you're just going up. And then after episode four, when like it starts, it just fucking roller coaster.

And every single episode, like I binged it like in it's a 26 episode anime. I watched it in a day and a half to two days because like every single episode is a fucking cliffhanger and where it's like, gotta watch the next one. I gotta watch the next one. It's fucking it's good. It's super good because it pulls on all the good trips, right? It pulls on like devoted like lover thing, morally gray areas. It pulls on like

Ice Bear (06:33)
Interesting.

Yep. Yep.

Grizz (07:02)
I'm just the basically it's like the pain of death and loss. I get it covers everything and you it's basically ⁓ shows the tortures of being the only conscious person in in this time travel stuff like it's it's fucking amazing.

Ice Bear (07:17)
Mmm.

Damn. Yikes. Did you see that thing I sent you yet with all the, kind of, ⁓ for lack of a better way to phrase it, horrifying philosophical points of view? Where one of them was, one of them was you can never fully prove that anything outside of your head really exists. And it went on to be like,

Grizz (07:40)
No, I don't think I did.

Ice Bear (07:54)
You can't actually ⁓ say any of your relationships or pasts. It all could just be in your head. The human mind's that powerful at creativity.

Grizz (08:07)
That's fair. That is fair. I thought I thought you were gonna go like an existential like, like, is that postmodernism thing? Like, nothing's real? Like, you know what I mean? Like, everything is constructs.

Ice Bear (08:07)
menacing.

There, no. Yeah, no, a couple of them were that

too. Yeah, there was a few in there that were like that.

Grizz (08:21)
Which,

which like, I don't like postmodernism, but I love postmodernism in art.

Ice Bear (08:29)
Isn't that weird? That's fair. I can wrap my head around that opinion for sure.

Grizz (08:32)
Cause like, cause like post-modernism, like

when people like put it to everything and like, it's just, it's just very obtuse and like pedantic. I think that's a great, actually great word for it, right?

Ice Bear (08:43)
I

find this meatloaf shallow and pedantic.

Grizz (08:47)
Yeah, but it really

is like it's like, you know what I mean? Like your election. So like it's but postmodernism and art is dope as fuck.

Ice Bear (08:54)
you

It really is interesting that a lot of modern philosophers kind of seem to latch on to things that are edgy for the sake of being edgy. And, and, or like you said, obtuse just for the sake of not being accessible by the common person. They just like want to feel smarter than everyone else. Like, that's not, that's not how it should be. That's not philosophy.

Grizz (09:12)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

It's self-fulating.

Ice Bear (09:34)
little mental little mental biddles. Captain Ziggybutts was jork in his own mind. Just jork in it.

Grizz (09:44)
Cause it's like a cause I mean like auto postmodern like like the matrix is dope as shit and there's a lot of postmodern shit in that.

Ice Bear (09:52)
That's fair. But also...

Grizz (09:53)
know, like postmodernism in

art and expression is great.

Ice Bear (09:58)
The Matrix does get little shallow and pedantic.

Grizz (10:02)
Oh yeah,

they also, to be fair, I never really watched the third one. Cause when I was younger and it came out, when it came out and I was like, Neo dies, I don't want to watch this shit. And so I didn't watch it. And to this day, I've never watched it.

Ice Bear (10:20)
I loved the original trilogy. I've yet to see whatever the revelations, revolutions, whatever this fourth one is that came out a couple of years ago. I've been meaning to watch it because I just, curious to see what the Wachowskis, like how their worldview and storytelling has changed. Cause it's been like 20 years. That's a pretty big gap.

Grizz (10:28)
⁓ yeah, there is a full I totally forgot about the fourth one.

Yeah, like, I remember loving the first movie when I was little. And then like, I rewatched it like, years later, I was on adult and I still liked it a lot. And I kind of got a lot of stuff that I missed. Right? I think part one's great. I actually still really do like part two a lot.

Ice Bear (10:56)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Grizz (11:05)
Yeah, the third one again, I actually never watched the third one. Because again, I heard I heard Neo dies and it's like, I watching this shit. I ain't watching.

Ice Bear (11:10)
You should watch it.

If you

liked the second one, you'll like the third one, almost definitely.

Grizz (11:22)
Yeah, I do. do want to watch.

I will because I have been wanting to rewatch it because they were on the time when I was coming to Seattle. This theater in Dallas was doing ⁓ IMAX replaying of the first matrix and I wanted to go to it so bad. I want to go to it so bad but it was it was it was a weekend I was leaving I had to like drive to Seattle. So was like I couldn't do it. I was so bummed out because I really wanted to go

Ice Bear (11:40)
Yeah, that would be awesome and IMAX

Yeah.

You know what this moose head here deserves? This moose head deserves a nice red pill C.

Grizz (12:09)
I give that moose head five fingers, 10 fingers up.

Ice Bear (12:10)
goodness.

10 big antlers.

⁓ It's occurring to me I don't know what a moose sounds like.

Grizz (12:31)
Do they sound demonic like Elks?

Ice Bear (12:31)
Alright.

Probably, I can only assume. Now, if memory serves over there, you are currently consuming a Coors banquet, correct?

Now that's awfully suspicious because I have here a taste of the Rockies myself. This here is a delectable Coors Light just waiting to be sipped upon.

Grizz (12:46)
Yes I am.

Damn.

While you get that, let me go.

Ice Bear (13:07)
All right, while he's away, let's discuss this little candle he has in the background. I can candle. What do you need light?

Grizz (13:14)
You know, the crazy thing.

The crazy thing about the Rockies is that did you know that they are mountains?

Ice Bear (13:22)
Yep. ⁓

Grizz (13:25)
And the crazy thing about other

mountains is there's a mountain named Rainier.

Ice Bear (13:31)
Well done. did not know that where that was going. I thought this was going to be one of those. Did you know that if you superglue your butt cheeks together and fill yourself with helium, you will in fact not float away, but you will go to the hospital.

Grizz (13:42)
You

So I've been seeing this beer every single day and I'm assuming this is just a Pacific Northwest Lone Star beer or a not a Shiner. I don't think Shiner. Shiner's too great. But I thought Lone Star.

Ice Bear (13:53)
Look at that rainier.

Shiner.

McConaughey would drink that and cut the cans in half and use it for Sigi butts.

Grizz (14:12)
Which look-

which looking at this which looking at this it does look like a Lone Star because Lone Star is basically Texas past blue ribbon right? Like ⁓ yeah Lone Star is a Texas PBR I assumed that this Rainier was a PNW PBR so we're gonna see right now

Ice Bear (14:17)
All right, all right, all right.

That's I can see that comparison. Absolutely. Yeah.

Here's my question.

Did you smell the Coors banquet?

Grizz (14:44)
Yes.

Ice Bear (14:45)
Did you smell that?

They're bad, right? Like this is, like this is really bad.

Grizz (14:50)
Yes. Yeah.

Ice Bear (14:59)
I wonder what it is that makes it smell so terrible, but taste okay.

Grizz (15:00)
The course, the

course banquet smells way better than this one. It smells kind of gross to be honest. This course banquet, it smells like shitty beer. It doesn't smell like I can, I'm fine with this. This one, I don't want to, you know what it is. So even like crappy, like, you know, like those, I don't know what you call it. Are they golden wise or golden wheeze? All right. It's a W E I S S.

Ice Bear (15:26)
yeah,

golden weiss, yeah.

Grizz (15:29)
Okay,

so those smell rotten and waxy.

You know what mean? It smells like waxy and mildew and wax. That's the smell I get from this.

Ice Bear (15:37)
You know what?

I never put that together, but it does. You're absolutely

spot on with that.

Grizz (15:47)
And this this one here kind of has that mildew smell that those other ones that like the whatever the fuck those German ones have. And like

Yeah. ⁓

⁓ huh.

Ice Bear (16:08)
Do it. look at that maiden voyage popping the old grizz right near Cherry. And it's not a happy man.

Grizz (16:19)
You know, it tastes like nothing to be honest. Like I can see like, like, know, like, like a real alcoholics, like the ones that like lost everything. And then are just like shells of what they were and like borderline homeless kind of stuff. Like day drinking all day and day. I can see them smashing this shit all day because it's easy because like it tastes like it doesn't taste like anything. Like it's surprisingly how much it doesn't taste like anything.

Ice Bear (16:28)
Mm-hmm. ⁓

Grizz (16:45)
I can see people just matching these from fucking like 8 a.m. and they wake up at 10 till they fall asleep at midnight.

Ice Bear (16:52)
That was the most

unhinged description of an alcoholic I've ever-

That was really good.

You

We're going to have to start putting the support helpline at the end of the, after the little sweet like tink tink, the sweet end card thing you have. If you need help, contact.

Grizz (17:18)
Donate

donate donate to our new 501 C3 bears against alcoholism.

Ice Bear (17:28)
Denizens for sobriety.

So, so, so, so, so,

Grizz (17:35)
You know?

So, Barity's good.

Ice Bear (17:45)
See, we mean well. We mean well. ⁓ Let me tell you, Coors Light is going to be a, with definite, like, C minus.

Grizz (17:56)
Yeah, I think Coors banquet to see like Coors banquet and give him Coors banquet. It has a special place in my heart because when old Grizz was a drummer I used to play with, they used to be in my band like way back yonder. ⁓ He would always come to practice because we used to practice in storage units like climate control storage units back in the old SA town. ⁓

And he would always come. He would always come with a friggin nice case of course banquet. And he was very generous with sharing his core bank course banquet. So there's plenty of nights of hanging out with friends and storage units, drinking course banquets and playing music. And so course banquet as mediocre as it is holds a special place in my heart. It doesn't dethrone Shiner.

Ice Bear (18:27)
Ugh.

Grizz (18:54)
as a regular beer that I love, but it's second to Shiner and I think that's high regards.

Ice Bear (19:01)
That's legitimate. So all right. I'm to give you a choose your own adventure because that that little grizz monologue sparked two thoughts in my head. Do we want to A, discuss why stubbies are such a delightful bottle or B, Wemby

Grizz (19:03)
Because I do love me some Shiner.

Ice Bear (19:25)
is not of this earth and is going to bring San Antonio a championship much sooner than originally anticipated.

Grizz (19:34)
You know.

Ice Bear (19:37)
Or both.

Grizz (19:37)
So we can say about the one these

hands, they feel like medicine. They feel great. They feel like there's like, yeah, because it because it's it's the perfect like you get a good purchase on it. You know what mean? Like, it's the perfect you can like full palm it. You can just you can be dainty with it. You can like there's so much you can do with this. It's it's great. It's

Ice Bear (19:46)
I love them. I love looking at those. I love looking at a red stripe. Like, there's something satisfying about them.

Doesn't it feel like an elixir?

Grizz (20:06)
It's way better. Yeah,

I think that's the thing. Yeah.

Ice Bear (20:10)
Like like if you were if you're

doing some D &D you could rip the label off and that would be a good elixir bottle

Grizz (20:17)
That is very true. I think this is definitely far superior to frickin top like like, fucking long neck. So whatever you call it sounds like a weird like ⁓

Ice Bear (20:26)
long necks

Grizz (20:31)
Sounds like a clinker. You know what mean? Like these damn clinkers. These damn long necks.

Ice Bear (20:33)
They fucking long necks. Sounds like weird,

weird giraffe bigotry. Fucking long necks.

Grizz (20:40)
my

daughter, my daughter ad no long neck. ⁓

Ice Bear (20:44)
No, long.

Well, there we go. There we go. I found it. I found the TikTok sound bite. My daughter ain't dating no lie.

Grizz (21:02)
I didn't.

Ice Bear (21:06)
With no context. I'm gonna edit it where it just starts there with no lead up and people like fucks he talking about beer bottles. He's talking about beer bottles

Grizz (21:23)
Good shit.

Ice Bear (21:29)
wirebacks.

Grizz (21:31)
That's so funny. those things are going on. Like, it's like, I get it now. get it. Yeah. It's just so funny.

Ice Bear (21:32)
⁓ shit.

It's all coming together now. All right.

Before we get too sidetracked, Wemby, have you seen any Spurs games so far in this ripe young NBA season?

Grizz (21:54)
So highlights, right? I've only seen highlights and one B's fucking as a person that's been a lifelong like Mavericks fan or I see a lifelong but like childhood long, right? Like I think I became a Mavericks fan when I was like 12, 11, 12. And it's strictly because of 2K. Like I played 2K. Dirk Miliensky was a fucking monster in there.

Ice Bear (21:56)
Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Grizz (22:23)
And I would always maim him like he'd always be on my team. And then I was like, oh, he's in Dallas. Cool, Texas. And then I just started watching Dallas Maverick games. then and then like every Johnson, I know he pissed off like Spurs, like San Antonio people about the whole for walk thing. But he was he I mean, he was a little general, like he was on the Spurs. So for me, I'm like, my dad can't be mad at me. Like, come on, their coach is fucking the little general. Like we cheer for this guy and this jerk, no one's key.

Ice Bear (22:24)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (22:53)
And then my dad would say, I like Dirk and Quincy. He looks like a fucking caveman like I do. So because like, you know, with the mavericks with the spurs because of fucking every John's things, my dad's like, this guy. And you know what I mean? He and then also my dad's spurs. ⁓ So like he would be he just look at me like, what's wrong with you? Fuck it. Judas. Right.

Ice Bear (22:54)
Mm-hmm.

⁓ man.

Grizz (23:21)
But it wasn't

actually that bad because it's still Texas. My brother was very kind of like you and the Bengals. Like when you first started, like I like tigers. My little brother, Timberwolves, because wolves are cool, which I don't I don't I don't blame you for the logic, especially as a little boy. I don't blame for the logic.

Ice Bear (23:31)
Mm-hmm.

Absolutely.

That's... It's

a good reason for... Yeah, any young lad under 10, it's good logic. Why the fuck else? There's cool logo. Why not like them?

Grizz (23:53)
It is

a really cool logo. But at least the logo in the 2000s, I don't know if they changed the logo. I haven't really like followed the Timberwolves but if they did, I'm disappointed in you.

Ice Bear (24:02)
Yeah,

it's still a really nice, well-stylized logo, but the Kevin Gartner era won his peak.

Grizz (24:09)
Yeah. So during

that time, I remember being I remember this like yesterday. I remember being at a Spurs game and the Spurs versus Timberwolves and everybody's spursing and I'm cheering for the Spurs too because you Spurs Texas like this is still Tim Duncan, David Robinson like, know, you know, like it's still like it's still fucking peak, you know, peak. So we have that and it's against those Timberwolves and.

Ice Bear (24:30)
Damn, the Admiral was amazing.

Grizz (24:39)
the Timberwolves are like winning in this specific game. It was like just a random game in the season and the Timberwolf score and my brother stands up and is like, yeah. And everybody around is just spurs because we're in San Antonio. And my dad just looks at my brother so fucking disappointed. He's like, what's wrong with you? He's like, like, do you hate me? But I remember like my dad, I don't remember exactly what my dad said, but he's like, do you not like me or something?

Ice Bear (24:45)
Mm-hmm.

You're no son of mine. You're no son of mine.

Grizz (25:08)
Because everything I go for you go against like what is this? My brother is like wolves are cool.

Ice Bear (25:11)
You

It's it's such sound logic at that age. It's like irrefutable logic for someone at that age. F***ing wolves are cool. You dipshit. Why would I? You want me to like something because of locale? Geographic based grid? No.

Grizz (25:22)
You

It's just fucking.

Ice Bear (25:41)
⁓

Grizz (25:45)
But yeah, I remember that like, cause I just remember the look on my dad's face. He was like disappointed in like my son fucking hates me. Like, yeah, like I said, I was a Judas as a joke with Mavericks, but my brother was a Judas there. Cause like you're at, you're in the home of the spurs surrounded by the San Antonio and you're cheering when you know, to be like,

Ice Bear (26:03)
Yeah. For sure.

Yeah.

Grizz (26:14)
My dad was so disappointed it was funny.

Ice Bear (26:19)
Shit, man.

Yeah. Well, let me tell you, your dad is, if he is still a Spurs fan, they're onto something this year. ⁓ You know what it reminds me of? And I mean this without hyperbole. It reminds me of if someone did like a create a character and had a GameShark and just like maxed out everything. That's what watching him play feels like.

Grizz (26:41)
Mmm.

So yeah, so I haven't watched any spurs games, I've been like, cause like I follow them on Google. So I can watch the highlights and shit and it's yeah, it's, it's definitely impressive. Like it's one of those where I'm the Mavericks aren't doing too hot. Like immigrant is very early.

Ice Bear (27:03)
No,

season's, no, they're not doing anything this year. It's going to be bad. NAD's hurt again.

Grizz (27:07)
Yeah. Yeah. And so like,

yeah, great fucking trade. But like, ⁓ so like, you know, as far as the NBA goes, I'm very, very, very fucking bitter still. And as the season goes on, like, like, I love my dude, Kai, and I will like stay in the guy, you know.

Ice Bear (27:14)
Yeah.

Grizz (27:35)
But yeah, it's just rough, There's been so many times already where I'm thinking, fuck. So it's like to see, granted, it wouldn't be fucking awesome to see the Spurs doing great. I'm like, that's awesome. It's my hometown and everything. And I know my dad's fucking losing his shit.

Ice Bear (27:43)
Mm-hmm. Yep.

Mm-hmm

Grizz (27:56)
And so it's kind of like

my guy just don't want to go so.

Ice Bear (28:00)
The thing that's really cool about him is his body type. Because for those that don't know, this is a guy that's fucking seven and a half feet tall. his handles are almost point guard level. It's really fucking phenomenal handles for this dude. And he can shoot. And he's very agile in the lane.

Grizz (28:11)
ridiculous.

It's crazy.

Ice Bear (28:29)
But the thing that the funniest thing about him, and this is why I encourage ever to watch at least one game like anyone that likes basketball watch at least one spurs game this season is if you just like watch the highlights and look at the box score, it doesn't track because he's not playing the whole game. He plays like 29 minutes a game. He rests so much because they don't need him when he's in there. No one drives.

Grizz (28:45)
Mm.

Ice Bear (28:56)
Like no one will come up on it. He's averaging, think, like six blocks a game right now. And he's not playing minutes. When people come in, he's just so long. Like his, his wingspan with his height and his like just placement, like he positions himself really well. It really reminds me of like not NBA 2k, but like NBA street, like with the, uh, the abominable snowman that could swat everything.

Grizz (29:19)
⁓ yeah.

Yeah.

Ice Bear (29:23)
That's

what it feels like. He feels like that character in real life.

Grizz (29:28)
Dude, NBA Street volume two.

Ice Bear (29:32)
a pro with not only the just the fun factor, but the soundtrack in that the amount of weekends like that we would just like, just kill hours playing that it was so fun. It was such a fun game.

Grizz (29:45)
so fucking good, really.

Even just like because it because even is one of those where I can even like the starter characters are so fun to play with. Like was it chocolate thunder? Like from all? Yeah, it's so fucking good. God, yeah, I fucking love that. The alien. Everything about the game is fucking amazing.

Ice Bear (29:56)
Yeah, bring the thunder, bring the thunk, bring the chocolate thunder dunk.

The alien, the Yeti.

The sassy hood rat girl that was really good at steals. It was so fun because it captured that vibe really well. When And One was still a thing and people cared about it and it was just like that basketball culture was, man, it really nailed it.

Grizz (30:15)
Yeah.

Yeah.

You know what, like, because of I always felt because of like, that street, like, they tried to do it to and I didn't it didn't really carry over even though like, I like the previous games was when blitz like NFL blitz try to do like a street version. It just it just didn't. It didn't work. It really didn't work. Like blitz 2000.

Ice Bear (30:59)
Yeah, no, no, but the original blitz was good.

Grizz (31:06)
was fucking I love that game my my main team was Raven or like second he was Ravens because I liked like the month but just strictly because of stats when I play arcades fucking Denver Broncos Denver Broncos yeah I'm Denver Broncos on blitz 2000 was a stupid team

Ice Bear (31:23)
I was going to say you said the Broncos.

No,

like I know that game was good because, and we've talked about this before, but just as a reminder for everyone that's considering playing Blitz 2000 right now, ⁓ I hate the Steelers. As a Bengals fan, I hate them. Like it hurts me to say anything good about them, but I would play the Steelers because of Cordell Stewart in that game. Like you could truck stick everyone. It was amazing.

Grizz (31:52)
Mm.

Ice Bear (31:58)
And the way that like the graphics like exploded guys off of them when they had the hot streak or whatever it was called. It was so fun.

Grizz (32:01)
Yeah. Yeah.

I love that game so much playing like playing it like on the PlayStation was awesome. But when you got to an arcade that fucking had let's 2000 was so fucking good.

Ice Bear (32:18)
They really need to bring back local multiplayer games. That needs to exist. Like that was really fun to have like a couple of friends come over and sit on the couch and you just like that needs to be back. Smash Brothers was way better back then.

Grizz (32:23)
Yeah. ⁓

I remember.

⁓ yeah, I can't because I could. During Smash Brothers, like from the N64 era and up to the game cube from Smash Brothers to melee. ⁓ Me and my brother both played Smash, both by Smash. And my neighbors were friends like two houses down from us was also another brother. Because me my brother two years apart.

The older brother was a year younger than me and the younger brother was the same age as my brother. So we're all like, you know, within two years of each other. And so it was great because it was kind of like our formative years, like me being in middle school from like fifth grade to eighth grade, I was there. So like we would. ⁓

We would, uh, it would be all of us here. So we would go play, we'd go play outside and we just take our controllers and go to their house and we would just play either smash or Mario party at 64. Right.

Ice Bear (33:32)
I had

blocked that out. Yeah, you always did bring over your controller to a friend's. That was like the thing you put in your book bag.

Grizz (33:38)
Yeah, and it was so fucking good.

Yeah, it was so fucking great because we play smash and everybody like link. I started off the link because I legend was elder. But then ultimately I ended up switching ⁓ my main and the first smash was Yoshi. I was a fucking menace with Yoshi, right? And it was and it was great. I still remember this from like great. I was I mean, Yoshi, ⁓ the older brother.

Ice Bear (33:56)
Mmm.

Grizz (34:08)
in my friend group was he main Samus because he loved Metroid. My little brother main link and friends little brother he main Kirby and so it'd be us for yeah it was us for in thing and it's it's so good because you have all four people playing there and you know like there's like these little small alliances were like

Ice Bear (34:20)
I was, I was Kirby.

Grizz (34:31)
it's unsaid but some something just happened to the game you just gang up on one person and they just are fucking freaking out like you fucking assholes you

Ice Bear (34:32)
Yeah. Yeah. Yep. dude,

100%. We had one of our neighbors, all of us like for whatever reason, Jeff. 30 years later, buddy, I'm sorry. ⁓ My neighbor Jeff, I don't know. He was just that kid. Like if there was ever a time he was doing good, and someone got the hammer, or like, you know, one of the ultras where it like

Grizz (34:58)
didn't

do it.

Ice Bear (34:59)
You're just like, everyone be lines for him. Just everyone fucking picked on Jeff for no reason. Yeah, you're absolutely right. There were those just unspoken like, sorry, man, we got to fuck with you. And I think it was because he was reactive. Like he's like, why are you picking on me? Like that kind of thing.

Grizz (35:10)
Yeah. Yeah. That was a little brother in that

team. And it was, it was just so good. So we like, we just had to, or I remember like when me like came out and Bowser came out because I had dog, know, it's still a thing, but like when Bowser are like, maybe not young, but like you just pick somebody up or you can do it with Kirby too. You just like suck them in and then just jump down and kill yourself. It's so good. It's so like it's

Ice Bear (35:35)
⁓ man, yeah, that was satisfying. Yeah, that is very satisfying

Grizz (35:40)
It's so great. Like when

Ice Bear (35:40)
to do the suicide.

Grizz (35:41)
you have two lives and they have one life left, you just jump off. It's so good.

Ice Bear (35:46)
Yep. ⁓

man. Yeah, that was, that was super fun. speaking of super fun. So just as a quick recap, moose head C, Coors light C minus I believe you gave Coors banquet what? C?

Grizz (35:52)
that was so good.

Let's see, it deserves a strong C.

Ice Bear (36:08)
So we have a bunch of drinkable things. How is the Rainier going?

Grizz (36:11)
root syringes is interesting because like, again, it has that waxy mildew thing that like golden wise or have so I'm not a fan of that. But when I drink it. This is probably the most I put this with Lone Star PBR that air that kind of stuff. This is probably the most drinkable out of all of them to be honest. Like it's dangerously easy to drink. Yeah.

Ice Bear (36:17)
Yes.

Just easy drinker. Yeah, just something you can pound. The porch pounder.

The 24 packs going away at the game.

Grizz (36:43)
Not granted. Top tier porch pounder, man. Kentucky,

Ice Bear (36:57)
Do you want to take a stab at what this one is? Do you want to guess?

Grizz (36:57)
Are we going for

a third? Is this a Halloween special?

⁓ fuck. right. right. Domestics, domestics, domestics. Canada or US?

Ice Bear (37:19)
This is American, I was thinking of you.

Grizz (37:28)
Is this a Budweiser?

Ice Bear (37:30)
No sir, this is... We did the full Coors Spectrum, this is a Coors Original.

Grizz (37:35)
Honestly

course bacon was not bad. I it's not it really isn't

Ice Bear (37:42)
Dude, if they had had a Coors Banquet,

I would have bought one. ⁓ I looked at the Budweiser and I just, I was like, I know I don't like it. Like I know with certainty, I don't like Budweiser and I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Grizz (37:55)
But I

but are you sure though?

Ice Bear (38:00)
Yes, because I don't know if you remember, maybe a year and a half, two years ago, my, my job sent me to a Whirlpool convention and we went to a J's game and we got to sit in the box, the, the, the, do you, whatever you call those things like the business box or whatever. And it was like open bar. So like, I was just going to town on stuff and like one of the main, they had bud, they had Miller, they had Coors and

Grizz (38:16)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (38:30)
So I had a couple that day, then both of them are like, nope, doesn't need to happen anymore.

Grizz (38:36)
So

again, like I don't dislike Budweiser or Bud Light because, and here's the thing, Anheuser-Busch, they're rice loggers.

Ice Bear (38:50)
I know, I know, know, and what you say makes sense.

Grizz (38:53)
Yeah.

And so, and so here's the thing, because this, this, this, wrestled with this because I would always call Budweiser and my like piss water and stuff. Like, you know what mean? Like all the stuff, which I don't disagree that they are. Cause I think they are. But having some rice loggers that you do like, like support or Karen or Orion or Orion, when you go to, can you

Ice Bear (39:04)
Mm-hmm.

I do. Had some last night. Karen's good.

Ryan's good.

Grizz (39:22)
When after you've had those and you go think and you go back to otherwise you're like, this is similar. It's not the same, but it's similar. And so I'm like, shit. You know, it's more tolerable now because there's it fits flavor profiles that I like with these other beers. Now, granted, these are the beers I think is more situational. Like I love Orion. I fucking love that Okinawan beer, but

Ice Bear (39:28)
It's pretty close. Pretty close.

Grizz (39:50)
It's not going to be I know I don't love as a daily drinker. I don't love it as an option thing. I love it specifically with like sushi. I like it with sushi. But I love it with curry. Right? You have a good curve. You have a good curry. Right? You have a good like a good cut to curry, whatever you want. Cut to pork cut to chicken. Right? With a fucking nice crisp Orion. That shit hits so fucking hard. It's great. Right?

Ice Bear (40:02)
Ooh, okay.

Yeah

Grizz (40:20)
So I know these things. So when I went back and drunk a Budweiser, I'm like, it's close enough to where it reminds me of that. So I'm like, it's tolerable now.

Ice Bear (40:31)
I'm wondering if I did like say like a KBBQ where like normally if I go there I'm gonna have like a pitcher of Cass or height or something. I'm wondering if I did KBBQ and did some Budweiser would I like it? Is that my gateway?

Grizz (40:37)
Mm.

I think it's going to be close enough to where you're not going to mind it. Because again, like, because once I once I like tied them together, I was like, okay, it's not as good. Because the Budweiser isn't as good as the Orion or the Sapporo. But there's enough notes in there where it's close. And I'm like, okay, it's tolerable now. Because I remember being younger and hating them.

Ice Bear (41:01)
I might try that.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Mmm.

Grizz (41:24)
I was drinking like a fucking piss water and I'm like, no, I I would like not drink that I have those only Budweiser Bud Light.

Ice Bear (41:27)
Yeah.

Mm.

Grizz (41:33)
And then like getting into some Japanese beers and stuff like that. And then going back to him like, okay, it kind of reminds me of those two words close enough to where it's tolerable.

Ice Bear (41:48)
Here's my follow-up question. Is there any mainstream that is just objectively horrible that you would not drink? That you would just be like, nah, I don't need that. I'm okay. I'll have water or I'll have a Coke or something. Would if someone bought you one, is there anything you'd reject outright?

Grizz (41:56)
Mmm.

So beers not mollikers, right?

Ice Bear (42:11)
Yeah, beers, beers, not malt lakers. I have one. have one that I can think of off the top of my head.

Grizz (42:19)
Okay, I'm

thinking of I'm not gonna include like the really cheap beers like no was it like iron cobra like none of like steel reserved none of those. Right? ⁓ Then you like Yeah, so thinking like regular beers. ⁓

Ice Bear (42:35)
I forgot Steel Reserve existed. ⁓

Yeah, like

stuff you would see in an Applebee's. ⁓

Grizz (42:45)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (42:48)
or at your local gas station next to the Budweiser.

Grizz (42:51)
You know what beer I fucking hate?

You know a beer I hate? That's like better. This is better than like Budweiser and stuff. I fucking I don't think you hate this one. But I hate this one.

Ice Bear (42:59)
Hold on before you say it, I'm gonna write down the one I hate.

Okay. Okay, go ahead. Okay.

Grizz (43:08)
I hate blue moon and I hate, and I hate fat tire.

Ice Bear (43:12)
Okay.

I can understand hating fat tire. I don't hate blue moon. I don't like it. But if if if I was ever say like doing yard work in the summer, and I come in and someone who gives me a blue moon with a lemon, I'll fuck with a blue moon.

Grizz (43:33)
I ain't doing it. Blue moon, shock top, all those weepiers. Fuck all of them.

Ice Bear (43:38)
you like shock top. I actually like shock top a little bit. Especially the orange one, the mandarin orange one.

Grizz (43:40)
Yeah.

I hate shock top I hate both because all of those wheat does

those like wheat ales I don't fuck with any of them.

Ice Bear (43:53)
Okay, so the one I had written down that I almost got for this episode just because I was like, is like, is it gonna be a fun reaction watching me squirm? And then I just couldn't bring myself to pay money to a company I Bush. Boy, do I not like Bush. I don't know what it is. I just hate Bush.

Grizz (44:12)
Bush.

again, Bush is not a good beer at all. But again, because of my dad, my dad would drink because you can get a bush court like you know what mean? Like a fucking 40 a bush for like two bucks to the book. Right. So like, my dad would come home with like four quarts of bush. Right. I remember we would get a fucking case of bush. Yeah, I Yeah,

Ice Bear (44:39)
That's so insane.

Grizz (44:44)
my dad was an alcoholic, right? My dad was a very functioning alcoholic, right? So I my dad, my dad, my dad would fucking come up with like, four quarts of bush. And he would just be fucking drinking up like, he was doing like two or three at night, like we're like watching TV or watching whatever. He woke up in the middle of the night, I catch him at the refrigerator.

Right. And he would drink in the, he would drink during the day before he went to work. Right. And, and my dad would be like a bit of the hair, a bit of the hair of the dog, the bit. Yeah. You heard of me? Like he's a huge drink. And so he would have that. He would buy another one or two, like going to work and see, you know what I mean? Like consumed a lot. And I granted ABV. I I'm like, I think about that. like, damn, my dad was a fucking alcoholic.

Ice Bear (45:16)
You gotta have a breakfast beer, of course.

Grizz (45:41)
But if you just consider ABVs, I'm like, I drink fucking more alcohol technically per capita than he does. You know what I mean? So it kind of puts things into perspective where I'm like, hmm, maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought he was.

Ice Bear (45:49)
Yeah, yeah, for sure. See.

This is the thing with like the type of beer that we drink at like not only on the on the podcast, but like off. I think about that a lot. And I'm just wondering, like, do other people that drink like that main Budweiser or Miller or Coors or Bush or any or Natty light any of these things? Have they not tried one? Because you can drink as we do two beers.

and get the equivalent buzz of like, cause we're now I'm two and a half beers deep. And it's like, maybe the effect of one of our usual craft beers. they're, they're,

Grizz (46:40)
Yeah, yeah, I'm right here.

Ice Bear (46:44)
I'm still enjoying it. It's still a good time, but it's like it's just more efficient to drink a 9 % or 10 % or like if you get lucky and you find something that's a 10 or 12 that you really enjoy it like one of those beers and you're having a good time.

Grizz (47:00)
Yeah, because like, I'm right here right now. And I'm like, I'm just starting to feel any sort of like, this stuff. Yeah, yeah, it's like, it's nothing. And so here's the thing is like, do you I think the different thing is like, are you chasing the feeling of like, being buzzed and drunk? Or is it the literally just the action of drinking beer? Did you prefer more?

Ice Bear (47:30)
Interesting. That's a fair point.

Grizz (47:30)
You know what I mean? Because like,

because like, I think like, you know, like you're, you're in the mindset of, I'm fucking drinking, I'm having a good time. So you're even like drink longer and not feel like like if you enjoy that sensation of just me drinking, like, you know, I guess I can understand why you'd pick like the weaker beers, but like, I don't know, man.

It's I kind of like life's too short to drink shitty beer. You know? Yeah, like, I want to drink something that I'm gonna fucking enjoy and like and love. And like whether that's a really strong one or a weak one as long as I'm liking the thing like a fine. Because I don't know. Yeah, cuz like, I don't know the last time I've been shit face drunk ever like in the last like decade.

Ice Bear (47:58)
I'm with you.

same for sure.

Yep, as long as you're having a good time.

Yeah, it's, it's,

it's been a while for me too.

Grizz (48:25)
like so it's so it's not even drinking for that sensation like you get buzzed like it's a good time good like I think I get buzzed like it's great but I don't know it's just interesting like ⁓

it's going is dancing that line of like, being buzzed and intoxicated and just like enjoying the like enjoying the offerings.

Ice Bear (48:53)
So I just wanted to clarify, I was chuckling as you were talking about because I disagreed with anything you said. But because I was imagining when we go back after this and we look at the AI like recommended clips us and I'm just imagining the head titles that's going to give her the headline, it's going to give the bears get introspective about the purpose of drinking. ⁓ But it's a legitimate point.

Grizz (49:15)
Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ice Bear (49:20)
You're absolutely right. Like what is the reason you're doing it? Is it just the actual action and the social aspect or is it the like, do you like that headspace of feeling a little buzzed or, know, whatever you get from it?

Grizz (49:32)
Mm-hmm.

Ice Bear (49:35)
And for me, it's definitely and we've talked about this before. It's just the pageantry, the action. Because if it wasn't this, I think the way you described it was this is the vessel. Like this is the reason that we're doing it. But if it wasn't this, it would be something else. It would be 2B2G and we're drinking Gatorade. So it would be 2B2V and we're playing video games. Like it would be something else. Like it's just the getting together and shooting the shit with your friend.

Grizz (50:00)
Mm.

Ice Bear (50:05)
But I feel like yeah, especially if you're chasing the buzz, like if you want that feeling, like fucking do craft beer instead. It's way better. It's way more efficient. You're going to save a lot of money.

Grizz (50:15)
Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It's not even close.

Ice Bear (50:25)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Grizz (50:25)
Yeah, so I don't

know like

There's just the thing. Like it's I get

you know, at the same time, I think this there's time and place right so like, I would say like I remember being in high school and we would get a case of fucking Bush courts it was like 12 of them and it was like 18 bucks you know what mean? Like it was it was the expensive it's sub 20 for a case of 12 fucking Bush 40s right and there's like four of us five of us and we're in high school

like that's way more than enough to get us fucking drunk or shit like what right and so I remember getting just getting that case and we would like play quarters and it'd be all of us and so we're just like, just drink you know what mean? Like and during then we're younger like underage drinking like you know we're being fucking we're fucking you know we're being edgy we're being all this the the point then was just to drink

Ice Bear (51:31)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (51:35)
anything was going to get us drunk. You know, so like at that time, the ritual was drinking like, like we're underage drinking, like we're doing this like that. That was the thing. And that was the purpose as he got older. You know, it changed, right? Because like I remember even like as I was of age and like playing shows and being at bars and stuff, it switched from like grabbing beers to where I would just my my

Ice Bear (51:38)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (52:05)
drink of choice all the time and still is still to this day because it's just everybody has it. It's just like I always get a double Tartar Jameson on the rocks and they just drink that like sip on that the entire time. You know, like

Ice Bear (52:14)
Yeah, yep, yep. That's a good one.

And you're right, that is something that you can, man, you can go to.

I mean, every country I've been to has that. We can just walk up to any bar and, yep.

Grizz (52:26)
Mm-hmm. It's just no matter what, know, it's going to be there. You know,

it's going to be there no matter what.

Ice Bear (52:33)
And it works. So you go you prefer on the rocks for Jameson, huh?

Grizz (52:34)
Mm-hmm.

I do. It's one of the, to be honest, I can drink it any like off the rock or on the rock, any kind of way. The only reason why get it on the rocks is once I finish it, I just chew on the ice.

Ice Bear (52:51)
That's fair. That's fair.

Grizz (52:52)
And it's like,

it's strictly, it's strictly because of that. And also too, uh, especially I would do it, especially when I was playing shows and, there would be a time, like after we get off stage, people will try to buy you drinks all a lot, which is dope. But when you don't want to drink, you just have the cup of the Jameson on the rocks. And even if it's just the ice in there, like you can be like, you can just show the drink and like, I'm good, bro. And it's not you being an asshole, right? Cause like,

Ice Bear (53:07)
Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank

you. I appreciate it. Yeah.

Grizz (53:19)
But

I have this, right? And so that was always just an easy way to deny drinks when I didn't want to drink. And so that was another reason why I would always get it on the rocks.

Ice Bear (53:26)
Mm hmm. Yeah.

That's that makes a lot of sense. That's very fair.

Yeah, I think that's a that's a good one for me. ⁓ It's an old fashioned pretty much everyone on planet has an old fashioned. ⁓ I like bitters. There's something about bitters I really enjoy. ⁓

Grizz (53:44)
All fast foods are great.

When you get the perfect amount

of bitters, it's great. My problem with old fashions is they're tasty and I drink them too fast.

Ice Bear (54:04)
that's legitimate. That's a that's a fair complaint.

Grizz (54:06)
I,

whether it's me, it's a me problem. I can't like just sit on an old fashioned, like I'm like, Ooh, good. And before I know it has gone, I'm like, Oh, fuck. And so that, that, that's me. It's a self-control issue for me. I rarely get old fashions or even Moscow meals. Right. Cause I fucking love ginger ale. I'm like, you know what I mean? Like I love ginger ale. It's like, I love all this shit. So like getting any, yeah. Any one of

Ice Bear (54:15)
Yeah, no, is. So for

Moscow mules are really good. Yes. Yeah, especially in the steel cup in that will steal mug.

Grizz (54:35)
Yeah. Any one of those, I'll drink them way too quickly and I'll be like, Oh, fuck. And then I have to get another one. And before I know it, my tab is $100. You don't have it like just for me. So I don't get them for that reason. Now, if I know we're only going to be there for like an hour, I'll, I'll get one and I'll, you know what I mean? Cause it'd be fine. But if we're going to be there for a while, I'm not touching those because I know for sure I'm going to finish them too quickly.

Ice Bear (54:44)
Yeah, 100%. That's totally fair.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, old fashions are interesting because there's like, again, this is my normal thing. If I go somewhere new, like it's what I'm going to order because I know they're going to know how to make it. And there's a pretty big variety. They're all good. But some of the ones I've had that are great are like so phenomenal. And I feel like for me, the one thing that can set them apart is

I prefer the people that put like a little cherry in them instead of like a lemon or an orange. And I also prefer when they do like the diamond cut ice. So like, you know, they give you the highball glass and they do the cut of ice. It's like a diamond shape that's almost to the top of the highball. And then it's just like, as that ice melts, it just like, it's such a good like, especially like the last sip when the ice is melted. It's like, man, that's such a good flavor.

Grizz (55:33)
Mm-hmm. Mm.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah. Like, for me, yeah, so the diamond cuts nice. I think. ⁓ So like most of my, my, my favorite old fashions are probably like the whiskey glass, the short whiskey glass with like the cube that fits almost to the top.

Ice Bear (56:23)
⁓ yeah, the cube's a good one too. Yeah.

Grizz (56:27)
Yeah. Like when you get the cube, that's like almost

the size of the whiskey glass.

That fucking bad fucking hits. That really hits.

Ice Bear (56:33)
Yeah, yeah, I'm with you.

I'm with you. Shit man. Soul Grist hasn't had a single trick or treat on Halloween.

Grizz (56:46)
No, but you know what? You know, we do have we do have a Halloween beer that I'm going to get out of the that I'm going to get out of the nice chamber right now.

Ice Bear (56:51)
We do. All right, you go grab that.

You go grab that. I'll finish this and I'll be ready for mine.

All right, look, he escaped again. Let's critique this candle a little bit more. What is this? Is he a pioneer? Why does he have a fake candle? What's this about? Is he showing off? Is he showing off for his his his lady friend in California? The tea gray? Is it is it for her amusement? It doesn't make sense. It doesn't seem very grizzly like like a bear den should have, you know, fluorescent

and or no lighting. None of this fake candle shit or better yet a campfire. ⁓ Also guys like we should probably come together and talk to him about his drinking because if you if you look in the bottom left corner here he's got some some pretty hard liquors just sitting there probably waiting for consumption probably as soon as we finish the episode he's gonna start drinking.

That's it's sad. I mean, we love him. We want him to last longer. And that's why Grizz is the best guy that has ever existed. And we should all appreciate him. He is glorious persona.

Grizz (58:10)
I don't, I

I don't believe a word you just said right now, but I will take it as an effective cover.

Ice Bear (58:22)
You

⁓ A lot of the time I'm just purely putting things in for you to chuckle at when you're editing.

Grizz (58:36)
Ha

Ice Bear (58:38)
It's for you and no one else. Maybe like the three people in Thailand that are still. Did you see the thing we got that said we were like in 27 countries last week?

Did you see that email from trends this store?

Grizz (58:53)
I did see the email.

Yeah, I did see the email, but I really. I did see the email, but I didn't really like look at it, look at it.

Ice Bear (59:07)
I'm so fascinated. I'm curious to know when they're analyzing it, does their data somehow account for VPNs? Because if we really have that many listeners in Uzbekistan, it blows my fucking mind. Like, why? How did you find us? What is this about?

And honestly, even if they're Americans, like, why are you picking Uzbekistan for your VPN? That's a weird country to pick. Either way is fascinating.

Grizz (59:41)
That's true.

I'm just having you watch Thailand to be honest.

Ice Bear (59:47)
So yeah,

because that seems real. That seems legitimate. I think for some reason, someone that like teaches English there has latched on to our videos. They're like they speak slowly. They also kind of slur their words sometimes. So you can like really, you can get little nuances. And they're just using us to teach English. That's the only thing that makes any sense to me.

Grizz (1:00:12)
I mean, that would make sense or like somebody that just had the unfortunateness of falling stumbling upon us.

Ice Bear (1:00:22)
Yeah.

Grizz (1:00:25)
You know, and

then like, that's how like how they're learning English and they're going to be like,

You know, at end of the day, Thailand is great. mean, like Sing Tao all the way.

That's type here, right, Sing Tao?

Ice Bear (1:00:45)
⁓ that is Tiger. I think Tigers tie too, right?

Grizz (1:00:52)
Is it?

Ice Bear (1:00:54)
Let's find out. Let's investigate.

Grizz (1:00:57)
I think I'm pretty sure Sing Tao's Thai.

Ice Bear (1:01:03)
Tiger beer is of Singapore.

Grizz (1:01:06)
Go sing Tao.

Ice Bear (1:01:09)
Tiber. Tiber. Sing-ka.

Xing Tao, Chang, Singa. ⁓

All right, let me look up Sing Tao. That sounds real sing.

no, okay maybe these three beers are hitting harder than I thought because I can't Singtale beer.

Nope. Yep. That is in fact, China.

Grizz (1:01:51)
shit, okay, nevermind. I don't know, I thought I was tired.

Ice Bear (1:01:51)
China's premier

band.

Grizz (1:01:56)
⁓ shit, okay.

Do they have a brewery in Thailand or something? Because I don't know why I think Thailand

Ice Bear (1:02:01)
I don't know if I've ever had this.

Maybe.

Maybe, Well, hold on. So I'm excited because we've, we have been bravely forging through domestic week. And now we have arrived at something that celebrates the holiday. Something that embraces.

Grizz (1:02:25)
Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange? Come with us and you will see

Ice Bear (1:02:35)
Jack Skellington and her heli.

Grizz (1:02:36)
bears drinking, bears drinking beers on Halloween.

Ice Bear (1:02:42)
That was a really good introduction. It can't get better than that. So what do you got over there? Hold on, hold on. I'm gonna do something a little unusual. A little unusual. We're gonna adjust the camera angle so you can all see the fear that I have instilled in me now.

Grizz (1:02:48)
⁓

unusual you say.

Ice Bear (1:03:04)
Yes. How might I assist you? We're on our final beer. Okay. All right. All right. Let's let's drink up these All Hallows Eve beers. Else else. God, I'm being punished. I'm being punished. I'm being beaten. I'm being Halloween beaten. Pumpkin pummeled.

Grizz (1:03:32)
You

All I gotta say is that, know, times like this, I am the king and hail to the king, baby.

If you don't, did you do, you're picking up what I'm putting down?

Ice Bear (1:03:57)
No. I want to. I want to pick it up real bad, but no.

Grizz (1:03:58)
You're not picking up what I'm putting down.

⁓

Damn. All right, I'm trying to think of another one. ⁓

Ice Bear (1:04:07)
No I don't.

Grizz (1:04:12)
What's another one? What's another one? What's another one? What's another one? Trying to think.

Ice Bear (1:04:30)
so excited and I just can't hide it I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you I'm so excited and I just can't hide it

Did you think of whatever you were about? was hoping I gave you enough time.

Grizz (1:04:54)
Yeah, it's more of like.

Yeah, I guess there's some that I know like there were if that didn't go saying groovy isn't going to give you all the only other one I knew I was trying to see if those other ones was the good bed. I'm the guy with a good

Ice Bear (1:05:20)
Good, bad. I'm the guy with the gun. That would be, of course, Clint Eastwood, Austin Powers.

Grizz (1:05:28)
We all we all know being a good guy. Nope, it's having a boom.

It's having a boomstick. And this is army of dankness.

Ice Bear (1:05:43)
I'm mad at myself now. This is this is that's a great can. That's a really good can.

Grizz (1:05:51)
Army of Danganess from Great Nation. He looks like a Sasquatch with a, a, with a bear lady, to be honest. This is a West Coast EPA.

This is from Great Nation. It is a 6.66%.

Ice Bear (1:06:01)
I'm-

but ⁓ that's good. Good for them. Good for them doing the beast.

Grizz (1:06:09)
Yeah, this is this is the perfect

army of Dakinas beer. This is the great Halloween tribute for my man Ash Bruce Campbell.

this is very dinky.

Ice Bear (1:06:28)
All right,

well, because I can't remember if I ever even mentioned it Coors is another C. All of your domestics are okay. Like I get it. I see why people drink them, but they're not good. They're not bad. They're just, they exist. They're beers. If you like them, good for you.

⁓ so, ⁓ because I was also, you know, encouraged to feel festive. I got this bad boy, this bad boy right here. And this bad boy I know I'm going to like, because this has been our, her beloved paranormal. And I'm going to keep shouting out flying monkeys and how fantastic this fucking ester is. It is just, ⁓ I'm

What I'm really scared of is when they stop having this in stores. I actually, the one I bought for tonight was the last one at my local shop. I'm like, no, like I'm not going to be able to find these anymore soon because they're going to switch to whatever the Christmas stouts are. And it's going to be bad because this is, it's so good. It's so phenomenally good. So.

Yeah, I'm confident this will especially after the starting lineup. This is going to remain an S, but we'll find out.

Fucking D minus.

I was I was hyping it up for no reason. After the the after the glory that is a Coors original. This is swill.

Grizz (1:08:18)
water it's a rat piss

Ice Bear (1:08:24)
It's so fucking good. Like I can't even pretend it's not amazing. It's so good. It's so fucking good.

It's it's amazing that a 10 % beer is it's this drinkable. And the flavor profile is so fun. And like it hits you with with pumpkin and then cinnamon and then vanilla and then the back end. like a weird like cardamom thing. It's just it's so good.

Grizz (1:08:55)
Damn.

Ice Bear (1:08:59)
This is the one place that like whenever you do make it up here, we have to go. Like we just, this is a must. It's a non-negotiable. Because everything Flying Monkeys does is just, mot de mané. Go Jays, go. Game just started.

Grizz (1:09:09)
I am Zardin.

Do these games these J's and Dodger games have been long as shit. It was the last one the 16 inning game right. Fucking hell.

Ice Bear (1:09:27)
Okay, so 18. So let me let me

take let me take out a journey from the perspective of a young lad living in Ontario rooting for the Jays. So I had work the next morning. And the game gets to extra innings and I think to myself, okay, I'm going to give this one more inning. And the 10th innings winding down and I'm thinking, okay.

I'm going to be mad at myself if I don't, you know, watch the next batter up because what if what if the next batter up, you know, hits a home run and then it's like the momentum shifts and it feels different. And so then, of course, the 10th hunting happens and it's scoreless. And then I get to the 11th and it's like getting close to midnight and like, well, you know, I've got work tomorrow, so I really should like

I'm an adult be responsible. Let's go to sleep. But then then as I'm trying to put my phone down and, and go to sleep, I'm like, but, you know, it's like what? I'll just watch one more batter. And then that guy would strike out. I'm like, okay, just like one more batter because like, what if the next guy up is, is the one that makes the difference. And then we get like 15 innings deep, and it's like fucking 145 in the morning.

And I'm like, this is stupid. Like I need to go to sleep. I've got to work. And I'm like, but now I've I've I've Yeah, exactly. I've invested this much time. Like this is a fucking five and a half hour game at this point. I can't just go to sleep now. Because what if something happens? And so I stay up till the 18th inning. At which point, the fucking Dodgers crush a home run and

Grizz (1:11:00)
But you've this far already.

I was

so fucking.

Ice Bear (1:11:25)
dash my dreams.

And so I go to sleep at three in the fucking morning after watching two full baseball games combined into one and see my boys lose. And that was rough. That was real rough.

Grizz (1:11:41)
was so

fucking shocked because I got good because I you know, friends in California so like I'm seeing the Dodger stuff and they're like just losing their shit of like, no while it's going on. And then

Seeing the shift once the fucking bad homes hit, I was like, ⁓ my fucking God.

Ice Bear (1:12:06)
Dude, and I can't even front that was clutch. Like that was such a, that was a phenomenal moment. So good for Dodgers fans. But that being said, I'm so happy that my boys took the next two games and now we're up as of recording. We are now up three two. We're back in Toronto. And if we can close it out tonight, my boys are World Series champs.

Grizz (1:12:11)
It was great. It was good. It was good.

I am

so excited for this because one dodger with two years in a row and I lose my shit. I know one don't like the Dodgers. don't like LA. So like that. But if both bears can have

Ice Bear (1:12:40)
You

Grizz (1:12:55)
two World Series championships under our belt in the last couple years. It's a good time.

Ice Bear (1:13:01)
dude.

So I it's funny, I was thinking statistically, what are the fucking odds that within the the, what do we call it? It can't be the barate anymore. We need a new word for the four of us. What are the odds that within our little four, we went Rangers, Dodgers, and potentially Jays capturing all four of what are the odds like that's gotta be

Grizz (1:13:19)
too.

Yeah.

That's crazy.

Ice Bear (1:13:31)
like

astronomically improbable to have all four of us get to see our teams win the World Series in that short a span. Back to back to back.

Grizz (1:13:40)
Yeah,

it's again, if Rangers can't win it, ⁓ you know, I want the JACE to go as much as like my fellow people here don't want that, know, but like if they were going to lose to anybody, it's not about losing to the JACE.

Ice Bear (1:14:06)
I just, the thing that I just, I crave like with every fiber of my inner being is Vladdy talking to big Poppy in the after game going Dodgers loose, Dodgers loose. the Yankees thing was so fucking funny when they won that ALDS game.

Yankees loose. it seemed like they were putting on the accent even more than normal. Like it felt like Scarface. You know, when Pacino is like doing it felt like that.

Grizz (1:14:47)
⁓ fuck.

Ice Bear (1:14:48)
Hello

to my girlfriend. Yeah, kiss loose like that's what it felt like

It was so good.

Grizz (1:14:57)
The funny thing is I have a guy and my current place of employment that's on my team that's from New York. So Yankees fan and the entire time he is wearing a regular, it's a plain black like dad hat, right? The day and then one of my like my right hand man at work. He also works for the Mariners.

right when the Mariners lost which is it was a home game right

Ice Bear (1:15:34)
Yeah, yeah, the Jays beat him in Seattle a couple times. Yeah, because they took both the games in Toronto to start the series.

Grizz (1:15:35)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When they lost my guy, my right hand guy came in for Lauren. For Lauren is the only way.

Ice Bear (1:15:53)
Can- Can- Can- Can- Can-

Can- Can-

Grizz (1:16:04)
So he comes in for Lauren devastated because he's been waiting for Seattle to be victorious since he was a young, ⁓ a young wheel ad. They're waiting for this and this is they finally have a taste they have a little taste of the glory. And he gets dashed away by them by the maple birds.

So the next day, he comes in sad. ⁓ crest fallen. Crest fallen is a good way to say it. He's he came in crest fallen just not excited. Not anything. Just sad depressed. And here comes in my other guy, my other guy on my team, who's been wearing a regular a regular old solid black dad hat, no brand of sacrifice just sell black.

for a while now. He comes back in with his Yankees hat. And the first thing he does when he sees my forlorn sad guy is I was going to text you but I thought you were going to be too sad so I decided I'd just wait till I see you in the morning. Rub salt in the wound.

basically to give you the the Reddit too fast and read or whatever you call it. ⁓ My my my guy on my team that's from New York for the entire thing was just wearing a solid black dad hat. As soon as the ring as soon as blue jays got knocked out by the J or by soon as the Mariners got knocked out by the J's.

Ice Bear (1:17:37)
Too long, didn't read.

Grizz (1:17:58)
My boy, my right hand man, came out, he came back crestfallen, sad, forlorn, dashed. He's been waiting his entire life as a kid, since a kid, for the Mariners to make it. They got super close and then lost it.

Wearing there in the morning. It's like five, six in the morning. The guy on my team from New York comes in with his Yankees hat who hasn't worn it in months. Finally comes with it back and he's like, he looks at my guy and he's like, I was going to text you yesterday, but I you'd be too depressed. So I'm going to just tell you now. I'm glad you're ⁓

Ice Bear (1:18:48)
hole.

Grizz (1:18:50)
Damn.

Ice Bear (1:18:57)
Have you ever seen? ⁓ What was that movie? There's a movie where the guys are just like they're covered in foam. It's like it's like a ⁓ man. It's like it's a sitcom. I'm not going to remember, but just picture like picture like a pool full of foam. Like if someone dropped like way too much laundry detergent in a pool or something and you're like, wow, that's a crazy reaction.

like it's so much foam like it where you could have like a bubble fight and throw bubbles around and be like teehee and you make like a little bubble beard and that kind of thing, you know.

that was that was my toilet after my powerful bare piss. The amount of froth was just overflowing. You're welcome. You're welcome.

I'm elegant and sophisticated. ⁓

Grizz (1:19:53)
I

I do remember being

like when I would only be drinking shitty beers because of like shows and stuff where I would make it a mission to try to like fill all the water with bubbles.

Ice Bear (1:20:12)
Right? Yeah, it's fun. It's a, I do the same thing. It's fun.

Grizz (1:20:13)
And like when I could when

I could get it completely go bubbles of life

Ice Bear (1:20:19)
Yep. Yeah, you feel powerful. You're like, yeah, that's a good, that's a good mission. Mission accomplished.

Grizz (1:20:26)
Yeah.

That was, that's a big one.

Ice Bear (1:20:29)
Ugh.

God, how is yours?

Grizz (1:20:40)
You know, I think I mentioned this last time I had a West Coast IPA. I've come, I'm coming to the realization I don't, I don't like West Coast IPAs.

Ice Bear (1:20:46)
I don't think you like them.

You don't like them.

Grizz (1:20:55)
I think this one is a good West Coast IPA because of like the flavor they don't like, like it's hitting them on the perfectly and so like

Ice Bear (1:21:05)
The f-

Grizz (1:21:11)
It's

It's one of those where like, I don't think it's a bad beer. I just don't like West coast IPAs. Until having this, I'm like, because I think why I don't like West coast IPA is the more I'm drinking this, I'm kind of like, I'm trying to like analyze why I don't like it.

It's extremely bitter for what it is. Super dank, super better.

But also at the same time, the flavor feels thin, if that makes sense.

Ice Bear (1:21:56)
Interesting. Huh.

Grizz (1:22:00)
And so like, I don't, it's like heavy, bitter aftertaste with like a thin flavor as you drink it. And like, it's just, I don't know.

I feel like if I had the heen, I would like it more to be honest. I feel like this would go well with it because it would fill in.

Ice Bear (1:22:18)
Why don't you have

tahin? Is there no tahin in Washington?

Grizz (1:22:23)
I don't know if I brought it.

I don't know if I brought it with me.

Ice Bear (1:22:27)
There's no fucking

way there's no like Mexican store there.

Grizz (1:22:31)
There has to be one.

Ice Bear (1:22:33)
There's gotta be.

There's gotta be, there's simply gotta be.

Dude, so we went to I think I told you, maybe I didn't we went to H Mart after we went to our little aquarium Dato. And ⁓ we were walking down the spice aisle and like the condiments aisle. And we saw a bottle of ponzu sauce and like, fuck, I miss ponzu sauce. Like that's such a good flavor. White people you're missing out if you've never had it get some ponzu.

Grizz (1:23:03)
⁓ that's perfect.

Punches great punches. Top tier.

Ice Bear (1:23:11)
And I also got, what else do we get? We got a footy Kake, which is also just like a top tier. Like it's good on popcorn. It's good on fish. It's good on rice. It's going to meet. Like, it's just like, get that to fucking try it. Try it. If you never have.

Grizz (1:23:29)
I don't think I've

ever had furikake on a popcorn. That is interesting.

Ice Bear (1:23:34)
Okay, so this

is, so this is a Hawaii thing, right? So Hawaii, like if you go to the movie theater, it's very common to have a hurricane popcorn. And so it will be like normal like movie theater butter popcorn, for the cock a sometimes they'll throw in like little bits of like chocolate chip or something like sweet, like really sugary. And then ⁓ maybe like, like Sour Patch Kids.

like some some sort of like gum it bro like I know it sounds like a lot. But it is such a good combination of flavors and textures. It's so fucking good. Hold on. Hold on. I'm doing the rare. I'm doing the rare multi tab for the episode. Let me let me let me pull up and see what it has for hurricane.

Grizz (1:24:17)
Yeah, I gotta see because like

Yeah, for me

For me, like, ⁓

A thing I wouldn't normally get that I love for popcorn and movies. Either I get the nacho pack so can have the nacho cheese with the popcorn. Love that. But one of my favorite combinations that I would get like when I'm like really excited for a movie, which I did it for the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle. As we have your salty snack, pretzel popcorn or whatever. For me, a staple from old Gris childhood.

is a box a bunch of crunch.

Ice Bear (1:25:10)
Oh, a bunch of crunches really good.

Grizz (1:25:15)
I get some bunch of crunch with the fucking buttery movie popcorn. Love it. Love everything about it.

Ice Bear (1:25:27)
Yeah, that's really, that's very, good. All right, here we go. I need to see it still. We need to watch that. We need to watch the Chainsaw Man movie too. Those are both.

Grizz (1:25:30)
Yeah. Cause I watched the Demon Slayer movie. Phenomenal.

I was gonna say I just

got I just got the tiger to watch chainsaw man for the movie.

Ice Bear (1:25:49)
she not caught up on the series yet.

Grizz (1:25:50)
And when I tell you the horror she had on

her eyes from no, because we just watched we watched all of it like two days to three days. She's never watched it right. And so like rewatching like that first episode, you know what I mean? Like when he gets you know, as she sees she's like the horror in the tigers eyes of like what the fuck am I watching?

Ice Bear (1:26:00)
Okay, good. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Dude, Chainsaw Man is such a, it's such a good series, like power is great. Puchita is great. Dengue's like they're all good. They're all, it's such a good cast.

Grizz (1:26:17)
Or like just like the

They're so great because they're all flawed. And that's the one thing that I love.

Ice Bear (1:26:35)
They're all flawed.

They're all human. And also it's one of the few shows, like in terms of mainstream, like really popular shows that is willing to just fucking kill off characters, which I love. Because there's so many things where like they bring them back immediately, right? They're like, ⁓ like was a fake death. Like, no, like when they kill people, they're dead. They're dead.

Grizz (1:26:51)
Yeah. Yeah. And that's.

Yeah. And the only time they did it, like in Jane, so man, it's like, fuck. And then it's just like, this is, this is the power this person has. Like, holy shit. Like you, you had an idea, but my God. And even at that, like the desk means something because they're like impactful.

Ice Bear (1:27:15)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm

Grizz (1:27:28)
chainsaw man it's one I liked it's one where like, here's the funny thing is like we watched it together and it was my first time watching the anime. I finished the manga. I finished the manga and never watched the anime. But because of the movie and with the tiger as like I watched the anime with her for the first time. And the anime is great.

until like I'm like I know what's gonna happen but still the enemies of extremely enjoyable like

the opening then it's great. All the voice actors for the sub are fucking great. Like it's like they they do everything great. Like it's I'm so excited for the fucking Resi Arc movie.

Ice Bear (1:28:11)
the

Yeah, I am too. I am too. And and here's what I suggest you have when you watch that. So this is a description of of the popcorn that I once knew and loved when I was back on Oahu. So this is Hawaii hurricane popcorn, a popular flavor consisting of buttery and salty delicious popcorn seasoned with foot Akake nori, crunchy bits of mochi rice.

gourmet popcorn made in Hawaii offers an addictive blend of buttery popcorn mochi rice crackers for a cocaine nori seasoning easy to prepare a microwaveable gourmet popcorn snack dude it's it's sweet it's salty it's savory it's it's like it's so good you can order these things there's a fucking box with like six bags for like 20 bucks go get it go get it do it now we're not sponsored

Grizz (1:29:17)
I gotta say it for me, my

personal favorite. Foodie, cocky popcorn sounds great. But for me, you get popcorn, movie butter popcorn. You dump a bag of hot cheetahs in it. So you have hot cheetahs, movie butter popcorn. And then you have a side of like.

Ice Bear (1:29:35)
Ooh, ooh, that sounds real.

That sounds really good.

Grizz (1:29:42)
And then you have a side of Rico's nacho cheese.

Ice Bear (1:29:47)
All right, forgive my ignorance. don't know about Rico. What's Rico?

Grizz (1:29:48)
and you get the comes up.

So Rico's is a brand just, think of like, you know, that nacho cheese where it's like liquid cheese that you get at like baseball games or anything. It's like, just taught liquid cheese. It's kind of like, you know, but like, but think, think of the cheese you get at like baseball, basketball, sports ball games. Right. Like those nachos that liquid cheese, right. Think, just think of that, right. Rico's is just a brand. Think of the liquid cheese.

Ice Bear (1:30:13)
Okay. Yeah. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah.

Grizz (1:30:21)
We have a cup of liquid cheese. You grab your mounds of popcorn with hot Cheetos and you dip them in the liquid cheese. That right there is the top tier for me being a young and because you could get the nachos or the movie theaters with that cheese. You get the popcorn. You did the popcorn and that cheese fucking phenomenal. My favorite I would get when we watched movies as a kid was I would always mix a bowl of popcorn.

and hot cheetos together so I mix them with the cheese. That's right there's the gris fucking trifecta not liquid nacho cheese. For me Rico's because Texas or whatever.

movie butter popcorn popcorn and hot cheetos. That's the trifecta. You wanna elevate it and get a box of Buncha Crunch? Can't beat it.

Ice Bear (1:31:10)
That sounds really good, That sounds very good.

That

Well,

Let me tell you, hold on, I'm gonna check on, we're midway through an episode and I'm checking on my J's, still tied. my boys might bring it home tonight. Halloween Eve, or not Halloween Eve, Halloween, happy Halloween everyone. My boys might bring it home, still zero zero.

⁓

Okay, give me to close this episode out. Give me like what are your what are the Grizz favorite holidays? Like do you like Halloween? Is Halloween a big one for you?

Grizz (1:32:11)
I do like Halloween, but I Halloween is third, to be honest. It used to be number one. As I got older, I think I do think my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, to be honest.

Ice Bear (1:32:27)
Interesting. Okay. Okay.

Grizz (1:32:30)
Because

granted, like, you know, all grist cooks, those are for family stuff. Cook a giant feast. And so for me, Christmas and Thanksgiving are kind of the same. They say Christmas is a cool because that I just like I I think I edged towards Thanksgiving because it still has a lot of the Halloween decorations, just not spooky, but still the fall decorations. And it's very much. And so for me, family with it, for me, with Thanksgiving is it's

Ice Bear (1:32:54)
Sure, that makes sense.

Grizz (1:32:59)
We have a big giant Thanksgiving feast, but also everybody's drinking together. We're partying. Like for me, greatest Thanksgiving's are, ⁓ and I'm glad the last year the tiger was able to like partake in it, but it's, we're all eating. We're all feasting all day. We're in the back drinking. We're all in the back drinking with music playing giant Jenga. Like, you know what mean? It's just like,

Ice Bear (1:33:12)
You

Yeah, that sounds good.

you

Giant Jankers good.

Grizz (1:33:31)
So it's just like family festivities of like joking around, watching football on the TV. We're listening to music, frickin play. I don't know, man. Like I love Thanksgiving and Christmas because of those aspects of like, like the family get together, partying kind of like communal stuff. Like I do like communal holidays more than anything.

Ice Bear (1:33:56)
That's very fair.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Grizz (1:34:04)
Plus you like, let's see, let's see, cause Thanksgiving and even Christmas, the family is like, we're playing like lotteria, like the Mexican bingo game. So we're like, we're gambling, we're drinking. Everybody is like talking shit, having fun. Like it's just, it's just great, you know?

Ice Bear (1:34:05)
I know.

⁓ my god.

⁓ yeah, that's fun.

That's fair. That's very fair.

Grizz (1:34:25)
Halloween used to be number one as I was younger, like a teenager or like young adult. Now it's number three Christmas and Thanksgiving. I like more for those reasons. Now granted as I'm like away from family and I'm like alone, you know, they're going to kind of hit a little different, but it'll be interesting.

Ice Bear (1:34:43)
Yeah, yeah.

That's true. That's very true when you're, when you're kind of by yourself. Huh.

Man

Halloween's very fun. I'd probably have for Christmas one, Halloween two, Thanksgiving three, everything else. Kind of mid.

Grizz (1:35:10)
Alright, you got to go finish this off because I've been holding off a bear tingle and I can't hold it off anymore.

Ice Bear (1:35:15)
Alright, do it. Go away.

All right, people. Well, it's about time we came back to this point where we can finally discuss the old candle in the back of Chris's background. I'm gonna sneeze. My apologies. Yeah, this fucking fake candle. Like what is the deal? Honestly, he's got plenty of light in this room. There's no reason for it.

It's clearly a, uh, I don't know. It's a flex. He's just flexing on us for no reason. Why? And hold on, hold on, hold on.

No. No. Okay. All right, we we fix the sneeze through burping. So elegant, sophisticated, classy. That's how we stay here. That's how we stay. ⁓ I'm I'm enjoying thought of old grids coming back in in

four to five days time and editing this video and saying what the fuck happened. And now here he's putting his cap on he just frothed up a toilet. And this is a guy that is is ⁓ a beautiful father and and and partner and and kawaii desu masu

Grizz (1:36:59)
I'm gonna assume all of that was very flattering things.

Ice Bear (1:37:03)
It was just like five minutes of me gushing about nothing but good things about you.

and I sneezed no less than 50 times. It was insanity.

Grizz (1:37:21)
Is it safe to say domestic beers make you piss way more?

Cause I just had like an out of body experience in there.

Ice Bear (1:37:27)
dude, dude,

it is insanity. I was not exaggerating when I when I was describing the froth level. I don't know what it is. Yes. 100 % Yes.

Grizz (1:37:41)
Yeah, that's a...

Ice Bear (1:37:43)
like whatever level of normal hydration process occurs, like if it's like a 90 % clip rate that gets flushed out of you. For domestic beers, it's 110. Like it gathers your fucking blood cells and it's like send them out boys. Get them out of there. Yeah.

Grizz (1:38:02)
Yeah, it's.

It was frightening.

Ice Bear (1:38:06)
Yeah.

So, all right, hold on. I'm going to finish off old C minus tier.

Grizz (1:38:16)
Ready?

Ice Bear (1:38:25)
I cannot lie, it's not a C-, it remains an S, it's so good.

flying monkeys. Just if you're in Canada, get this fucking beer if you if you have access to it. If you're in America, I hope you have access to it somehow. It's it's just like as far as pumpkin beers go. It's just the best. It's the fucking best beer. It's so goddamn good.

And hold Chris struggles for words for his C minus because he does not like West Coast Eepus.

Grizz (1:39:10)
I really don't. I am struggling because both.

Ice Bear (1:39:13)
Be honest,

be honest with the people. Just tell them your real thoughts. They come to you for your honest opinions.

Grizz (1:39:21)
as much as I love army and darkness art, because I fucking love Evil Dead, Bruce Campbell, army darkness. I was so fucking excited about this beer because of like, I love Evil Dead in army and darkness. Absolutely love it. I've watched each movie. I don't know how many times in my life I can't say how much I love

Ice Bear (1:39:27)
⁓ I would have bought that can too. I absolutely would have bought that can too.

Grizz (1:39:50)
Army Darkness Bruce Campbell and the whole Rhyme Brothers series.

But I would drink this beer just because it's an IPA.

but I would be lying if I said this beer was more enjoyable than these domestics. I'm not gonna lie. Like I can say objectively, I think it's a better beer than the domestics.

Ice Bear (1:40:12)
You

Grizz (1:40:22)
So if I was being objective out of body experience, I would say this is a C plus while the domestics were a C, but for the old gris scale, this is actually a C minus.

Ice Bear (1:40:36)
dude, it's funny that we, I don't think we have to do the, it's good that we're able to remain objective and know what our own opinions are not going to line up with society at large. But at the same time, we are what the kids call professional drinkers. So if we have an opinion that is counterculture, like I think we've earned the right.

Like we've had a lot of fucking beers. So if there's something that tastes bad to us, like it's it's noteworthy. So I think if you say this is the worst beer of the night and the the domestics are better. People should know.

Grizz (1:41:09)
It's true.

It's sad because it really is. So I would say CCC minus it's been ⁓ a very see you next Tuesday night. But you know what? Just like just like how that goes. Seeing in the Halloween spirit, merciful fate and the song nuns have no fun. This this has been. ⁓ Interesting thing.

It's been great.

It's been fun. We got to give us a Halloween gift send off. What do we got?

Ice Bear (1:42:11)
you want a Halloween sendoff, do you? Are you ready? Are you emotionally prepared for Halloween sendoff?

Grizz (1:42:17)
Yeah.

what you got.

Ice Bear (1:42:24)
Hold on.

Hold on.

Boo.

Grizz (1:42:41)
I almost cut you off.

Ice Bear (1:42:42)
Fucking cut

the recording right now. You should have cut it off right there. All right. Now at this point, leave it here. Nope. Leave it here with the no absolutely don't leave it here with the awkward after panter. I cut it off somewhere around here after we've already acknowledged that it should have been cut off for

Grizz (1:42:46)
I can cut it off in post. I can cut it off in post.

Because I was going to cut you off. I was going to cut you off and start belting the, ⁓ somewhere deep inside of these bones.

Ice Bear (1:43:17)
Okay, hold on, hold on,

hold on. Let's do that. Let's do that. Now. Let's keep everything here. Don't edit anything out. I'm going to turn around one more time. I'm going to say boo and you're going to do that and then we're going to cut it. Okay. All right. Get ready. Get ready because here we go.

Grizz (1:43:22)
You

Do I say, do

it after you boo or before you boo?

Ice Bear (1:43:38)
Absolutely after I boot just wait for the boo. That's like your cue. That's like that is your fucking stage right?

Grizz (1:43:41)
Okay.

Ice Bear (1:43:48)
BOO!

Grizz (1:43:50)
