#podcast #comedy #craftbeer
From the dusty vaults of December 2025: Grizz and Ice Bear explore a variety of topics ranging from their beer tasting experiences to fast food value meals, food safety, cultural food experiences, roller coasters, and unique sushi offerings.  They share their thoughts on Mike Tyson's boxing prowess, the marvel of athleticism, and the humor found in slurs and cultural references. They delve into cultural myths, including the concept of the 'hopping vampire' in Chinese folklore, and conclude with a light-hearted exploration of Bigfoot and other cryptids, before wrapping up with a discussion on literature and book recommendations.

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)
That was a powerful pop. Holy shit.

Ice Bear (00:36)
was a good start. That was a good start to the old popperinos.

Grizz (00:38)
Ooh.

Ice Bear (00:43)
Now...

Let's see. Here's the thing. Old ice bear, known to many as something of little pumpkin slut. What other people don't know is that old Grizz also is known as a little something. And old Grizz is known by the people that love him dearly as a silly goose, a silly little goose in a big bear body. And you know what happens when

silly little geese get to be the ripe old age that we are. They turn into Uncle Goose. Because when you bring the Unc vibe to the party and you have an Ipa being Unc now.

Grizz (01:21)
Hahaha!

I was just talking about, about freaking,

yeah, about like just, I just had this thing of like, you know, like Mexican unks, like tios was like, just, ⁓ those old mu- the music you hear at cookouts, basically the barbecues. I just been getting the song stuck in my fucking head. Like randomly.

Ice Bear (01:47)
Yeah, I saw Uncle Goose and I was thrilled. was like, look at this beautiful, just Canadian tuxedo he has on.

Grizz (01:56)
I fucking love that. Canadian tuxedo is right. So it's all denim, right?

Ice Bear (02:00)
No, that's all denim. I screwed that up. Yeah, all denim.

This is simply a woodsman vest. And I just realized it's in very little letters, it says beer me on his little plaid vest, which is nice.

Grizz (02:13)
Beer me, beer me.

Ice Bear (02:14)
This is a 6.3 % West Coast IPA small batch from ⁓ Great Beer Better Stories at Nickelbrook Brewing. pour color: orange peel. I would agree with that. This is pretty orange peely.

Grizz (02:18)
Okay

Yeah, I could see that.

Ice Bear (02:34)
And this is citrus, melon, and pine. So I am, as the kids say, excited. What do you have over there?

Grizz (02:48)
So I am a sucker for a good little theme, right? It's a good theme, a good art. It's like a moth to a flame, right? There's a bear just, I'm like, you know, it's like the cartoons when the pie's on the window sill and then the little smoke.

Ice Bear (03:08)
⁓

the smell's just wafting over. Yeah.

Grizz (03:10)
Yeah, when I when I see a good

theme or a good a good can art, I just trick and just walk to just go straight over to it. This one right here is Fort George, Fort George. If you remember, they had that. I say, is your is or is your my baby that can have the three of the three guys. Right. Remember that one?

Ice Bear (03:33)
best part about that is after you did it, I did not know that song, but that was stuck in my head for days. I'd just be walking around the article, yes you is, or yes you ain't my baby.

Grizz (03:44)
It's a instant classic. So this is a collaboration with the North Park beer company. says a limited edition beer collaboration with North Park beer company, Brewed and Canned at Fort George Brewery. This one right here is going to be in hazy IPA 1 pint. 7%. This one right here, you can say

Ice Bear (04:00)
Hmm?

Grizz (04:09)
You say it's kind of on the half shell. But you can also say it's a bunch of pizza pals. Pizza pals, IPA.

Pizza Pals, Eepa.

Ice Bear (04:22)
wait, I was ready for it to be Ninja Turtles. it is Ninja Turtles! But in pizza form.

Grizz (04:25)
But yeah, it's Ninja Turtle.

It's Ninja Turtle pizza slices.

Ice Bear (04:30)
⁓ that's excellent. On the half crust. Turtles on the half crust. ⁓ Yeah, that's a good, that's a very good can. pizza pizza. Is Little Caesar still a thing?

Grizz (04:34)
pieces on the half crust, pizza power, pizza pizza

I don't care what people say.

Yeah. I don't care what people say. I fuck with Little Caesars

Ice Bear (04:49)
hot and ready?

What is the cost of a hot and ready people in the States these days?

Grizz (04:55)
⁓ good question. I'm assuming like six or seven now. At least. It just reminds me of the. Yeah, so it's still a great deal. So the best you can get and it's good pizza. I don't care what people say. I fuck with them.

Ice Bear (05:01)
It's not a bad deal,

⁓

you've just you've just stumbled onto a topic that I want to discuss at length. So please continue your thought and then we'll get back to this.

Grizz (05:16)
no, we can go straight into it. Cause I just, I just thought of that one video. There's a video of like an older Mexican lady. with a heavy accent that was like at the drive, the drive at the drive through. And she's like, she like, uh, she's saying like, uh, I know what he like, what he like, like it's like, she's something like, uh, I don't want to pizza. She's like, huh? It's like, hot and ready, but it's, it is fucking hilarious.

Ice Bear (05:28)
⁓ no.

Okay, so what prompted my excitement is I think I have found your best bang for your buck meal, like fast food meal. Like, does it have a drive up window? Then it counts. What in your opinion is the best dollar for dollar meal that you can get?

Grizz (06:09)
Drive through specific. ⁓

Ice Bear (06:10)
You've

got to have a drive-through or if it's in like a city, it's got to have like the walk-up window. Like it's got to be something you can just be like, here's my order. And then you walk away with food.

Grizz (06:20)
shit. All right.

So my normal two is always, I've gotten at length of this with the tiger too, is that I think the only food dining out or like getting food in general is worth it is Chipotle and Panda Express. Those are the only things dollar for dollar tastes good, but you get a decent amount of food, even with like the portions we can cut, there's still a decent amount of food for a little bit, right? ⁓

Ice Bear (06:43)
I'll I'll

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (06:53)
I guess I would say Panda Express would still fall in that because some of them do have drive throughs. Excuse me. But if we 86 and from there.

Ice Bear (06:56)
Mm-hmm.

Bless you.

You don't have to 86 it, those are fine options.

Grizz (07:09)
Yeah, I guess with Chipotle you can't because of right no drive thru. No this and that, but I would say Panda Express because again, I'm getting a three entree a bigger plate for fucking 13 bucks. And you get a whole thing of rice and get three different portions entrees It's hard to beat. It's hard to beat.

Ice Bear (07:22)
Mm-hmm.

Yep.

Yeah.

Grizz (07:30)
You can get the heavy,

heavy calorie, like, know, also if you want you go slightly lighter calorie. You can get like double teriyaki chicken and something else with like white rice or like half mixed veggies, half white rice. And then like three teriyaki chickens get like 80 grams of protein in one meal kind of thing. Or, you know, my favorite is I get - if I'm like being calorie conscious: string bean chicken, double string bean chicken with some white rice. And all I do is I get the thing.

Ice Bear (07:48)
there.

you

Grizz (07:59)
and I flip it over towards all on the lid and I just mix that shit up and just eat it like slop. My gruel. It's delicious.

Ice Bear (08:01)
Mm-hmm.

A, it sounds amazing. Two, I'm going to try that next time I go there, which is not often. Three, had I not re-encountered the thing that I am nominating for my number one spot, I would be in total agreeance. Because I do think Panda's outstanding. I love almost everything on their menu and it is definitely a good value. But the reason I'm not going to say it is because I have encountered a product in the wild here.

from Mary Brown's, which is kind of our equivalent of a Church's or a Popeyes, guess. It's like a chicken place, right? They have a mashup bowl, which is very similar in thought to the KFC one. Yeah, but it, this is a substantial amount of food. Like I had it for dinner last night and I was full and I am very rarely full with no aid of sides or anything.

Grizz (08:48)
the KF- to The Famous Bowl. Yeah, I love absolutely love it.

⁓ huh.

Ice Bear (09:03)
This thing is 5.99 Canadian. So you're like four something American. It is mashed potatoes, but not so much that they're like cheating you on chicken. A substantial amount of the little chicken popper bites at the top. And then just a shit ton of crispy onions with like a nice crunch. And then like they have like a nice, it's their take on a Southern gravy, not a Southern gravy, but it's still good. But it's the...

Grizz (09:07)
⁓

⁓ that's that's

Mm-hmm.

Ice Bear (09:32)
the amount of food for that price point is just bananas to me.

Grizz (09:37)
That is fucking awesome. That's like, uh, cause there's like spots in Dallas where like they're, you know, like fast, like take out, you know, like Westernized Chinese food, right? Like, um, that they just stuff their mother fucking plates open the things, barely clothes and it's like $10. And I'm like, how the fuck you can, how are you giving away this much food? How are you still in business?

Ice Bear (09:58)
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it's that is pretty crazy. It's it's very interesting. I don't know how they're accomplishing it. All I can think of is they have like a guy shopping meat markets and purchasing bulk like day of expiry stuff. It's like, we'll get this all out today. It's all going out today. Like, that's the only way it makes sense.

Grizz (10:20)
Yeah, yeah, because I mean expiration dates are

just suggestions too, so you know, it's not bad.

Ice Bear (10:26)
They're just just suggestions.

Grizz (10:28)
It's

true, they're all sell-by dates. They're not consumed by dates.

Ice Bear (10:34)
This

is one, I know you're right. Two, this feels like ⁓ some health propaganda. You know what? No, you have the right to speak on this. I have no right to speak on this.

Grizz (10:47)
No, it's

all it's all sell by because there are stuff with consumed by dates like there's some smoke salmon that you have to consume it by the date and so like I'm not you can get sick like it's because of Things so there are consumed by dates and they're sell by dates most thing are sell by dates

Ice Bear (10:54)
⁓ interesting.

All right. All right. So,

so riddle me this. Let's say I go to the market, I see a steak. Sell by date is tomorrow. How long do I have to eat that?

Grizz (11:13)
just cooked up a steak that's like four days past the sell by date right now this morning. I'm alive. No bubble guts to be found.

Ice Bear (11:18)
and you're alive, still feeling okay.

Beer still tastes like beer.

Grizz (11:26)
Nice, hazy, delicious.

Ice Bear (11:28)
All right, so we're saying at least four days.

Grizz (11:31)
That's I've gone longer, but four days is like the most comfortable. The biggest thing with meat is just like, is it turning green? Is it getting slimy? Probably shouldn't eat it.

Ice Bear (11:40)
⁓ very good. ⁓

Grizz (11:42)
I mean, dry aged shit

is like 30 days aged.

Ice Bear (11:48)
Have you seen like ⁓ the Japanese steak that's been aged for like years underground in the clay? It's wild looking. I would be so scared to try it.

Grizz (11:58)
shit.

I

I've seen somebody that age like steak for a year and still eat it, you know.

Ice Bear (12:09)
I like,

know you can do it because I've seen enough people pull it off and not die, but I would just be God. I would be so scared cutting into something like that.

Grizz (12:17)
Yeah, so like I mean, because you have like, it's like, because I pack a less I think is what it's called, because you cut off all that exterior shit, and you're left with like a little tiny thing, right? But yeah, I don't know, like, because that pack a lot of stuff, it's essentially similar to like, like cheese wax, right? Basically, so kind of like protects the inside from enzymes and stuff. But um,

Ice Bear (12:24)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Sure.

Grizz (12:39)
I'd be much more inclined to eat that, to try that than like, ⁓ you know, the Norwegian fucking fermented hanging fish shit or whatever the hell it is. I can't, I cannot, I cannot.

Ice Bear (12:48)
Yeah, nope.

I'm just... It's weird because I've had durian, so I will eat some stinky stuff. But fish is just bad smelling fish. I can't do it. There's something about it. Yep.

Grizz (13:02)
Dragon is one of us too.

Like fish was sour. Like, like, yeah, I get that.

Cause there's something with like bad seafood that is way more like scary. Yeah. That's fair.

Ice Bear (13:17)
I think it feels dangerous. There's something about it that feels like, I

could really fuck myself up if I do this.

Grizz (13:24)
That's fair.

Yeah, that's ⁓ yeah, ⁓ I'm just not, I can't do it. Like there's a, I used to, when I was a wee young 18, 19 year old bear led, ⁓ I used to work with this Jewish guy and he, he would eat gefilte fish, probably the whitefish thing. And so because I am

Ice Bear (13:49)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (13:54)
part of the Andrew Zimmern propaganda. I'm like, you got to try everything twice. So you don't like it. Right. ⁓ cause I freaking loved that guy. So I just like, fuck it. I'll try it. I tried it for students to touch my tongue. was like, but then I like bit into it. I got a, got a ferment. So I chewed it, tried to eat it. Like my body instantly before I even swallowed it, you know, like

Ice Bear (13:59)
Hahaha

⁓ no.

Grizz (14:23)
the heave. I body was like, so couldn't do it. Then like 20 minutes later, we're on lunch. I was like, we get let me try it again. Couldn't do it. Absolutely cannot do it.

Ice Bear (14:24)
Yeah, nope, not, not, not doing it. ⁓

Damn.

Interesting, the gefilte fish got you. You know what it is? You didn't have the spirit of Hanukkah in your bones. You need to have like a latke and what else could you pair with some gefilte fish?

Grizz (14:44)
That's true.

What's the is that the stiff bread? Yeah. Yeah, the stiff bread. ⁓

Ice Bear (14:54)
Yeah, like little pancake things.

Grizz (15:01)
I, ⁓ I can remember it most from the Hanukkah episode from the Rugrats. That was a good episode. That was a fit.

Ice Bear (15:11)
That was a good episode. Wait,

which one of the rongrats was Jewish?

Grizz (15:17)
Tommy Pickles. Yeah, Tommy, and all them.

Ice Bear (15:18)
Pickles, Tommy Pickles, Tommy himself.

What about Chuckie Finster?

Grizz (15:25)
I don't think Chuckie was a Jew. Wait, Chuckie probably was a Jew too.

Ice Bear (15:29)
I don't know if I'm allowed to say that.

Grizz (15:34)
Jews aren't slurs, Jews are people.

Ice Bear (15:41)
I will again defer. I'm scared to say it.

Grizz (15:47)
is no, this is a Jew.

Ice Bear (15:52)
I'm so worried that you're tripling down on something that's gonna get us fired. We've lost our whole Spanish audience.

Grizz (15:52)
Like we're not. I'm not going to.

I was gonna say.

I was going to say something else that was going to be like, I was going to where it was going to triple down. But yeah, but she's just you.

Ice Bear (16:08)
I think I think he got a triple down. What were you gonna say? Or what did it rhyme with?

Grizz (16:12)
It's not

like I'm going to bring up Schilling's.

Ice Bear (16:18)
no! No no no no no no no no no

Grizz (16:20)
See?

yeah, Jews are Jews. It's like a Mexican. Or like a...

Ice Bear (16:28)
I feel like I could be wrong. And I hope I am, because that would be way funny if I'm freaking out about nothing. I feel like it's sort of like saying Chinaman. Like it's just archaic, like there's just a twinge of like, don't do it to it.

Grizz (16:42)
Really? Lynette, what would you call a Jew?

Ice Bear (16:45)
Or like a Jewish person or ⁓ one of the Hebrew faiths. You're like, nah, I just want to

Grizz (16:58)
It's concise, it's good. Because Chinaman doesn't make, know.

Ice Bear (17:06)
or like, or like saying, Oriental, like there's just a weird connotation to it.

Grizz (17:12)
You know one thing that did bother me when like the maruchan ramen changed the blue pack from oriental flavor to like soy sauce. And I was like.

Ice Bear (17:21)
Holy shit it did! I never even caught that!

Grizz (17:22)
Yeah. And I was like, I

was remembering, was like, I was looking for it. Cause they go into flavors. One of my favorites, the fucking the blue one. And so I was looking for it for a long time. And I was like, I see his fucking soy sauce. Like, mean, I, don't know. And so for like a while, I just wouldn't get it because I didn't know. And then finally I was fucking Googled it I was like, ⁓ shit. That's fucking the soy sauce flavors, the oriental flavor. They just changed the name.

Ice Bear (17:31)
It's amazing. It's the best one.

See, that's a weird one, because especially when it comes to food, it doesn't seem, obviously, like I'm not Asian, so I can't weigh in. It doesn't seem offensive to me.

Grizz (17:59)
I don't know.

I

care what about like Oriental rugs? What do call them now? Yeah, I go like, do you call them now?

Ice Bear (18:04)
That was my next question. I was going to say the same thing.

A rug of mixed Asian maxi.

Grizz (18:15)
Sounds annoying.

Ice Bear (18:15)
Same thing

with Persian rugs. think now you have to say...

And this is not a complaint, just, don't know what you would you say Iranian rug? That sounds silly. I just want to say Persian rug still.

Grizz (18:30)
Because isn't Persian rugs like rugs from that era, right? So isn't that still right? I don't even know that you can even say it. I know people who call themselves Persian all the time.

Ice Bear (18:41)
I think maybe you're fine. think maybe I'm just being the fucking white guy. White overreacting.

Grizz (18:45)
Yeah. I

do feel like, cause I mean, there's like the thing of where.

You know, like people, not all, but people from Mexico have an issue with like people that have, are like ethnically Mexican, calling themselves Mexican when they're like not from Mexico. That's like, that's the whole thing. ⁓

Ice Bear (19:09)
⁓ okay.

Got it. Got it. Got it.

Grizz (19:14)
Like, you know,

cause I'm a, Texas boy of like, I'm a mutt, but a good part portion of me, Northern Mexico and like, you know, but because I'm not that, ⁓ you know, there's a certain, certain things being said that, that translates succinctly to like blood of the pig or like dirty blood. Yeah. So like, ⁓

Ice Bear (19:19)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that sounds right.

Grizz (19:41)
There's that.

Ice Bear (19:41)
I

can't believe you got hit with the Harry Potter slur. I can't believe they called you a mudblood. Rude.

Grizz (19:45)
I know man.

better than, you know, one of the worst things is, is it like the cringy millennial generations that like associate everything with Harry Potter? You don't see them anymore, like in the last like five years or so, but I guess like, you know, like 2000s, it was just there all the time. was like, geez.

Ice Bear (20:04)
of

is one of those things where I feel like when I was growing up, because I did enjoy them when they were coming out and I read them, ⁓ I didn't realize how much of like JK Rowling shit is just a ripoff of other stuff. Like she just stole, it's just like rehashed like Greek and Roman and it's just, that's fair, but like it's like not even a little bit of effort. It's just straight ripoffs of stuff.

Grizz (20:20)
Yeah, so did I. I made earth books when I was a little kid.

Which is...

which is most things to be general, to be fair.

I guess to like it, I still I I still enjoy the movies and stuff. And I enjoyed reading the books when I was young. But I think even more of just like the source material, it's more of a.

When you have like a mid 30 year old or 30 year old like person and they're all associate everything and they bring up like muggles and this and that or like all like all of a sudden like all right. I go yeah all right. It's like it's like all right bro. It's almost as cringy as like Disney adults but you know.

Ice Bear (21:11)
Not the muggles. Let's go to Gringotts. ⁓

⁓ dude, I was going to say we might lose some people, but I'm happy to let's go down this road because that is one that gets me like if if you're a grown human being and like Disney World is the dream. I'm I feel bad like I'm concerned.

Grizz (21:37)
Have you been to Disney World? Yeah, okay. I was like, maybe, maybe I'm just being an asshole because I've never been to Disney World. And maybe I just don't know the magicalness and I'm just like a fucking Scrooge or whatever. But I just don't, I just don't see it.

Ice Bear (21:39)
Yes.

It's.

No, no, no. And I

can only assume that it's gotten worse, because I went in 2002. And it was, like, it's okay. But my favorite thing in Orlando was SeaWorld.

Grizz (22:09)
because the same time you had Z-World and Z-World was cool.

Ice Bear (22:13)
And it wasn't necessarily like the animals were fine in hindsight. I feel a little bad for them, but the animals were fun. But they had a roller coaster there that no one went on because no one goes to Sea World for the road, but it was awesome. And so like there was there was no line and my dad and I went on it like probably seven times front car, back car in the middle is.

Grizz (22:26)
Really? Yeah, so.

Was it?

Yeah. So that's, that's completely different than the sea world in San Antonio. Cause like, there's like a couple of roller coasters and they're always packed. Right. Cause like the big one growing up was the great white. And so the great, so the great white you would sit on and like your legs, one of those where your legs dangle and your harvest to the top. And like it's, know, that's crazy spin loops and fucking yeah, it was called the great white. And it was like the roller coaster over there.

Ice Bear (22:41)
Mm-hmm.

Okay, sounds fun.

I have a-

Grizz (23:04)
It was like the rattler. I've never been on a big roller coaster. No, because I'm not going to lie. I don't like, I don't, I don't like the feeling of G force.

Ice Bear (23:04)
I been on a roller coaster in a long time.

Never. Not one. They freak you out?

⁓ yeah, you wouldn't like them then.

Grizz (23:17)
Yeah, and so like, ⁓ as a cop out because I I was a wee scared bear. I'd be like, I got to watch my little cousin hang. So I think my family would go up and I would just pose it out with my little cousin.

Ice Bear (23:27)
Ha

So this is one of those things, like if we were in like high school or middle school, I would bully you relentlessly about this. But that is one of those things that there's, it's weird to try and force someone else to have fun doing something that it's like, you wouldn't do that with anything else. Well, no, because you wouldn't be like, walk around East St. Louis at night. no one, like if you don't like feeling scared, like it's not a good thing.

Grizz (23:48)
It's kind of funny though. It's funny though.

Yeah,

I think the roller coaster one's fine because there's not like, although it's an uncomfortable feeling and like outside of freak accidents, there's not a actual layer of physical harm outside of like vomiting. So like this, I think it's kind of fine.

Ice Bear (24:13)
Yeah, but that's the thing. Like a lot of people

do get nauseous. And the other thing is I've known a lot of people that, especially with the hanging ones, like you're talking about, when you're taking the turns, they kind of bang your head around on the thing. And so like, if you're prone to headaches or upset stomachs, like theme parks are kind of a nightmare. There's nothing good about them.

Grizz (24:33)
Yeah,

it's one where like as I've gotten older, I'm like, you know, maybe one maybe I'll go with one, but also at the same time, I really don't want to go on one. It's one of those where I remember being a wee lad and it's like, well, if I go on a date in the theme park, I'm going on the roller coaster. I'm just, I'm, it's just, she wants to go. I'm not going to not go. I'm just going to affirm it.

Ice Bear (24:41)
Mm.

I'm sorry, you're gonna have to go over there with Chad. He'll take you on the ride. I'll just sit here and watch.

Grizz (25:01)
Yeah. Yeah.

It's like, let me, just let me take my chair at the corner of this line. Like I'm not going to do that. So I got, so I was well prepared to go on a roll. I give the tiger was like, let's go on a roller coaster. love roller coasters. I'd be like, fuck, all right, let's go. You know, I'm all right. I'll be like bunny rabbit. Palms are sweaty the entire time, but you know, I'll do it.

Ice Bear (25:07)
You

I've, like my dad really liked them. So I started going on them when I was very young and I just, I've always liked it. It's a weird, I like the sensation of GeForce. I find it very interesting. ⁓

Grizz (25:40)
Yeah, I think

it's just, it's just for me, it's like uncomfortable having my stomach in my throat.

You know, and so, um, like my little brother, my cousins and I loved them. I don't know what the, I'm sure there was this ride there for you, but it's, don't know if it's called the same thing for us. It was called the hammer. And it's the one where it's like, there's the points in the middle and it's just, yeah. Yeah. So like, I don't know. My cousin's going on that. We were like, they were like eight.

Ice Bear (26:07)
The ship.

Yeah, yes. Yeah.

Grizz (26:17)
until like 11 and I'm like, fuck no.

Ice Bear (26:18)
That's

not a super fun one just because the harnesses on them aren't particularly secure. Like it's normally just a lap bar. And so like a lap bar when you're at that highest point, when you're like, what is that? Like a 90 degree angle, like just straight down. Like it almost hurts because the bar is just like pressing up into your stomach.

Grizz (26:30)
⁓

Ice Bear (26:46)
So that's not particularly fun.

But if they did them with like shoulder things, it'd be fine.

Grizz (26:52)
You know, this one I do like is like, the, is it the satellite one or the spaceship one where like it's been sideways and then puts you to the, it puts you to the walls and like it has the side of things where it goes up and down. You know what I mean? Like those are fun. Those are cool.

Ice Bear (27:03)
Yes, yes.

Those are fun. Those are also the ones that I see going horribly wrong most often in like random like European countries.

Grizz (27:14)
That's fair. Well, like I usually see people do cool ass tricks on them or they stand up or they like, or they stand up on the wall and shit. Like that's so fucking cool. I always felt like it was because like I could do that, but I just never want to try.

Ice Bear (27:19)
like when they're using it to like, yes.

Yeah, that is very cool.

Yeah, that is one of those things that it really is like that. I can probably do that. But I don't think I would do it either. I don't think I'd risk it.

Grizz (27:37)
Yeah.

Yeah. there's a certain thing. So going back to roller coasters, there's a certain thing of. So in San Antonio, Texas, the Six Flags area, have ⁓ one of the famous roller coasters for it is called the Rattler. And it's a wooden roller coaster.

Ice Bear (27:52)
Mm-hmm.

Budden ones are great. They're so noisy.

Grizz (27:58)
It's just made out of wood.

It sounds fucking terrifying to me.

Ice Bear (28:03)
Yeah.

Grizz (28:06)
You know, there's a comfort, there's a comfort in like reinforced steel and metal roller coaster things. So when you have one just made out of wood and I'm like.

Ice Bear (28:06)
No, they're very noisy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's some famous ones at Coney Island. same thing, they're all wood and they just they don't. Looking at them, you're like, that doesn't seem structurally sound.

Grizz (28:16)
for him.

Yeah,

that's the biggest thing for me.

Ice Bear (28:34)
This seems

like this would not pass a modern inspection.

Grizz (28:39)
do. Somehow they do.

Ice Bear (28:44)
How is that first one been over there?

Grizz (28:47)
I was about to ask you the same thing. This one was a fantastic beer. Like I actively want another one right now.

Ice Bear (28:55)
Well done, Pizza Pie.

Grizz (28:55)
Like this is

the, this is probably the best beer I got. I've had from four, four George. ⁓ cause I had a couple. remember having a couple. This one is definitely, I, ⁓ I think this is an A. think this is an A pizza. How's isn't a, I am very happy with this one. ⁓ yeah, definitely. Like

Ice Bear (29:02)
⁓ yeah.

Pizza Pals? Pizza Pals? Pizza Pals brought us back into the A. Good job, Pizza Pals.

Grizz (29:23)
My mouth's watering because I want another one while I'm looking at this can. I'm a boy.

Ice Bear (29:27)
Unk Goose,

Unk Goose was not bad at all. ⁓ I can't go in the A tier, but I think this is a strong B plus offering from Uncle Goose. Uncle Goose was tasty.

Grizz (29:39)
Mmm.

All right. What's preventing it from hitting A tier?

Ice Bear (29:51)
I have had a lot of beers exactly like this. Like this, there's nothing particularly unique about it. It's a really good beer, but I feel like I've had five other beers pretty much identical to this. Because it is as advertised. It is citrus, it is melon, it is pine. And I've had that flavor a lot before.

Grizz (29:55)
fair, okay.

That just hit me with a total like brain warm random thing. you said that, it just reminded me of a.

There's a series of songs by like a comedian musician and one of them is Everyday Normal Guy. And he's like, I'm easy, I'm easily forgettable, not very liked. I can just.

Ice Bear (30:39)
⁓ God,

John Lajoise amazing. He's so good. ⁓ Do you? ⁓ Where do we even start? Have you seen his show? Like, did you ever watch? Yeah. Where's taco? So good as taco. ⁓ And yeah, no, we've talked about this before, because I went on my rant about Wolfie's just fine.

Grizz (30:56)
the leak? he's taco? Yeah.

Yeah, I showed you what was just fine.

Ice Bear (31:12)
You did Wolfie's just fine. It's so good. And it's so unexpected to hear him like not be goofy.

Grizz (31:13)
Yeah. It's good. It's great.

Yeah, like,

that was the biggest thing everybody, when I find out they like, like John was raw or like to stuff when they go back in the day, like, you know, he has a serious group.

Ice Bear (31:27)
Yeah.

Yeah. You're ready to see the guy from fucking Breaking Bad in a truck in a very serious, edgy video? ⁓

Grizz (31:34)
It's so fucking good.

Yeah, it's so good. that was always

a thing with like his music. They're funny and they're great. And it's goofy and it's ridiculous, but also it's good. Like it's undoubtedly good. Like even like the funny roll rap things or whatever, like they're all good.

Ice Bear (31:52)
Yeah!

Show me your genitals. Show me your genitals. Yeah, they're, they're, they're, they're all good. Yeah. The, the, the album those fantastic.

Grizz (32:02)
What?

didn't it tell you

Mm-hmm.

Ice Bear (32:14)
I'm going to listen to that now. I haven't heard that in a bit. It's been too long. I wonder if he's done anything else. Yeah, yeah it is.

Grizz (32:17)
It's a it's a good name to. Wolf

is just fine like it's it's a cool name.

Ice Bear (32:26)
Everything about that. It's a good vibe. It's good music. It's a Yeah. All right. Well, you got another one over there somewhere

Grizz (32:36)
another beer.

Ice Bear (32:37)
Another B-R-U-S-K-E-Y.

I have to go to the old Canadian cooler here. Bear with me.

Grizz (32:44)
Canadian

cooler that's where the geese had all their eggs But if you don't know job, there's wrong On that You're genitalia

Ice Bear (32:51)
the windowsill.

Yeah, show me your genitals.

Grizz (33:03)
Good.

It's crazy how like how much you I remember a lot

of the shit because it because it's just the when he talks like a Just how do I like a Celine Dion song from the movie Titanic like every night? Whatever the fuck he goes and he's like every time I hear the shit a tear comes to my eye Why the fuck did Leonardo DiCaprio have to die?

Ice Bear (33:29)
I had blocked that out. Damn. Yeah, it's that is weird. That is weird what you forget and then like it floods back when you think of something related.

Grizz (33:37)
Yeah, and then like this the next

part of the song where he's like i'm just an everyday normal mother fucker Ain't nothing special about me motherfucker

Ice Bear (33:45)
is

I got to tell you, this is unrelated, but I am very excited for my second offering today. I'm very excited to show you the can too. What do you got over there?

Grizz (33:58)
I ⁓ am two. So

my cans is less cool, ⁓ but I am very excited about this for a different reason. So this one right here is going to be for George again.

This one's going to be an Imperial IPA. But one thing that I talked to, I've to you about, I've talked to it on the podcast. I've talked to your friends about here is coming here. lot of the locals thing, there's not a lot of like doubles. There's not a lot of like triples, quadruples. There's not a lot of these like really, really strong ABV beers. You know, like I'm seeing a lot of like some fours, five, sixes, when I'm lucky, a fucking seven, right?

Ice Bear (34:34)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah,

Grizz (34:45)
I primarily see those, right? And, uh, this one here, came across this one when I was looking stuff and I was pleasantly surprised and I had to get it because I almost got a different one because it matched the pizza pals a little better, but this one's also from Fort George and this one is going to be an Imperial Epo. That's a 9%. I'm very, very excited about this. Uh, cause again, like it's, and I haven't really found a lot of them here in, uh,

Ice Bear (35:05)
Oh, very nice.

Yeah.

Grizz (35:13)
the Pacific Northwest. So this is from Fort George. is electric surfboard, double EPO. There's not a lot of like, it's just some abstract like Jetsons looking thing to me. Like it's, it's, know, it's cool. It's not bad.

Ice Bear (35:21)
Hell yeah.

I do like it though.

You

know what I feel like there's a missed market for? Not just this, but like, damn, breweries across the board. I'm thinking of what we've had this year. We're in December, so we've probably done like, what, 30 something of these episodes now?

Grizz (35:48)
Yeah.

Ice Bear (35:49)
So

that means we've had roughly 60 something beers.

Probably more, because we've had a lot of three episodes. So 70, 80 something. Of those cans, I would bet, seriously with no exaggeration here, if they were to make merch of the can art, like a shirt, a hoodie, a jacket, a hat, I would have been willing to buy 40 or more of them.

Grizz (35:57)
It's true, it's fair.

Yeah.

That's fair.

Ice Bear (36:20)
It just feels

like a real missed opportunity for them to be like whoever they've gone to for their can art, be like fucking throw it on a hoodie and sell it at the brewery or the restaurant or wherever. And then online it would say like breweries do this. Listen to me. People will buy your shit.

Grizz (36:26)
Yeah, hoodie, shirt. Yeah.

Dude, if I could get a Miyazaki hoodie, I'd be so fucking happy.

Ice Bear (36:39)
I was thinking about like that or like this the the thing on my mouse pad with the bear sculpting the the other bear. I would love to have a hoodie with that on it.

Grizz (36:45)
yeah.

Yeah, or like any, literally almost any of the Martin House offerings.

Ice Bear (36:55)
Yeah, those are all

amazing. ⁓ yeah, like Bonjuk. How sick would that hoodie that's like a bape hoodie almost. It's so cool. Well, that sounds like you're in for a good time. And in and in true

Grizz (37:00)
was good. Yeah. Yeah, actually.

smells great it

smells it looks like an imperial it smells really good

Ice Bear (37:22)
In true bearsync form, my next one is also a touch stronger than we started with. Boy, this is a wild color. I can't wait for you to see this. cannot. I thought I was going to have to slurp it up from overflowing on my mouse. I am.

was scary. God, that scary. I hate licking the phone.

Grizz (37:48)
It was just reminding me of, uh, so in Austin, was a bar that we'd go to by one of the venues we always play at. And I mean, it's not an uncommon shot, but it's the first time I ever saw one when I was a wee young lad and it was called the blow job.

Ice Bear (38:03)
Yeah. Yep. What's in that? Because like every, yeah, I was going to say most bartenders can make them, but I have no idea what's in it.

Grizz (38:05)
Yeah, I don't know, but it's like a little core. So on ours.

Yeah, it's a big, it's kind of a sweet one. It's kind of like a little quarter-ish like chocolate monk or whatever the hell, but it has like the white top and then the bartenders wouldn't let you drink it unless you like hands behind your back.

Ice Bear (38:25)
Amazing. ⁓

Grizz (38:26)
Yeah. So like you, like you wouldn't have to, especially

if it was your birthday, you would get so in six street and Austin, I don't know if they still do it, but like your birthday, you'd every bar would give you a free shot. like we'd like bar crawl on our birthdays and we just get a free shot every time. Right. And so they'd go and for this bar, it usually was a blow job or be like a round of blow jobs for the people. And until like everybody has like hands around your back and just pick up the glass and right. It's not good back.

Ice Bear (38:36)
Wow.

Yeah. ⁓

⁓ wow.

Wow. Yeah.

Grizz (38:56)
And that was always kind of the thing.

Ice Bear (38:59)
I mean, sounds like a good time. Sounds fun. Sounds fun. ⁓ I, man, okay, first of all, I'm probably gonna butcher this. I'm really bad with Dutch words, so forgive me, Europe. This is from Moersloetel, Moersloetel Craft Brewery. We aim to engineer beers that become legendary. We brew big, bold, flavorful beers, not for the faint of heart.

Grizz (39:01)
That's fun.

Big, bad energy.

Let it be known, we seek to understand quality and thus never compromise. Therefore, in every sip you take, you taste our brewing passion. So sit back, dare to enjoy yourself a more sleutel beer and get ready to enjoy life. This is

Grizz (39:54)
gluten

Ice Bear (39:59)
Macaroon Machine, a 10 % coconut pastry stout, and probably one of my favorite cans in a long time.

Grizz (40:01)
Huh?

that.

Ice Bear (40:12)
He's holding some coconuts. He's holding some little pineapples down there. He's very steampunky. But here's why I told you.

Grizz (40:18)
That looks fucking awesome. That looks so fucking cool.

Ice Bear (40:29)
Look at the color on this thing. This is midnight.

as a as a and the the head on it is like chocolate milk colored.

Grizz (40:41)
Yeah, that was like toffee. Like, I was like, it's crazy.

First impressions, what you got?

Ice Bear (40:53)
That

is so coconut-smelling. It's like in the back of my brain with the coconut smell.

Grizz (41:02)
Okay.

Ice Bear (41:03)
And it's like, ⁓ like, have you ever just bought like a big tub of like coconut oil for cooking? Like, you know how if you like rub it on your hand that like instant, like, that's the smell that you just like, it's strong.

Grizz (41:14)
Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I was going to,

I was going to ask like, it like, ⁓ coconut coconut oil coconut, or is it like almond joy coconut smell? Yeah.

Ice Bear (41:26)
No, it's like

coconut oil coconut and it's a lot of it. It's kind of jarring. I think I like it. I think I like it. it is also... Stouts are like when a stout is 10 % or more, it just hits me weird. Does that make sense? Like a 12 % IPA is not as hard to drink as a 10 % stout.

Grizz (41:34)
I think I.

Mm-hmm.

That's fair. Yeah.

Cause cause styles have this level of like thickness, but also I think it's cause it's so rich. That's probably why they're like, yeah.

Ice Bear (42:00)
Yeah, it's that.

Yeah, this tastes like a milkshake.

Grizz (42:09)
pastry stouts done right are probably some of the better stouts.

Ice Bear (42:16)
⁓ man, it's like, it's like messing with my sinuses. It's so it's so strong. Like it's the same sensation as when you take like too big a bite of wasabi. Like it's it's given me it's given me sniffles.

Grizz (42:21)
⁓ shit.

⁓ it's-

Interesting.

Ice Bear (42:34)
Yeah, that's catching me off guard. Uncle Goose did not prepare me for this this sassy little Dutch robot.

Grizz (42:37)
Wow.

It's fair. I know it's not Dutch, but it just reminded me of, ⁓ so there's a fast food dog spot. Yeah. Fast food dog. has some dogs fast food. It's called, you know, I'm sure it's everywhere. Cause it's in Texas and California. ⁓ weiner's Mitchell.

Ice Bear (42:51)
Hey! Dog spot?

Okay.

Wienerschnitzel? Und Wienerschnitzel? Hey! I've heard of it. I've never been there.

Grizz (43:05)
Yeah.

Bless you.

Chili cheese dogs, know, corn dogs, all that good stuff.

Ice Bear (43:16)
Okay.

Grizz (43:17)
I grew up my aunt would call it wiener niener.

Ice Bear (43:20)
⁓ wiener-neiner.

Grizz (43:22)
And so she's like, you to go to Wiener Niener? And we're like, fuck yeah. It's great stuff. It's really good.

Ice Bear (43:28)
So walk me through Wiener Wiener, what do they do? They just do traditional hot dogs or they're doing like fried shit?

Grizz (43:33)
⁓ Traditional hot dogs fries. Chili cheese dogs is where it's at for them. Bless you. Chili cheese dog.

Ice Bear (43:37)
Dude, the macaroon

machine is just, I don't, it's medicine. I think I don't like it. I've retracted my like. This is not, this is not fun to have your nose immediately on fire.

Grizz (43:43)
⁓

Maybe you need to halfway through it, maybe at all.

Ice Bear (43:55)
That's fair. All right. Continue your tale about Wiener-Schnitzel. I apologize.

Grizz (43:59)
Yeah. So we knew it's

corn dogs, cheese dogs towards that. And they're like these small chili cheese dogs. You can like knock back in like two bites, but they're so good. It's okay. Cause a bunch of steamed toos are not like toasted to like, they're kind of mushy with the chili cheese and I get it. It's just a good experience.

Ice Bear (44:21)
How many corndogs did we have when we did our corndog thing? The sonic one.

Grizz (44:25)
The corn dog eating challenge. ⁓

so once the best thing is Sonic Halloween and a couple of other days start the week to get 50 cent corn dogs. I love it. I know I, I hit, did I hit 30?

Ice Bear (44:41)
You won, By a lot, I feel like.

Grizz (44:42)
I won. I beat everybody. Yeah.

I don't know if I hit 30 or not. I don't know. It was either really close to 30 or I hit 30.

Ice Bear (44:52)
I know I bought a lot and I remember the bag having quite a few left when I tapped out.

shit

Grizz (45:04)
Yeah, I want to say I had at least 30 or close to 30.

Ice Bear (45:07)
What

other things did we do? We did the pizza one.

Grizz (45:11)
These are all good. Yeah, you on that one.

Ice Bear (45:13)
I think I did that right. Yeah,

I can fucking knock back pizza.

Grizz (45:18)
Yeah, you knocked that one. I think what started it was the Taco Bell soft tacos.

Ice Bear (45:24)
Yes. Yeah, it was that one. And wait, was that your pan?

Grizz (45:31)
then.

Ice Bear (45:32)
And then didn't I had 9007 of them. And when did you start counting? Oh, like a week ago. OK, well, that's not fucking one sitting. That doesn't count. That does not count.

Grizz (45:34)
Yes. Yes.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, it was, it was a good little chapter. It was fun.

Ice Bear (45:49)
Fuck, that was funny.

You know what we should do next next year going into 2026 we should we should do a couple of those.

Grizz (46:02)
I'm down.

Ice Bear (46:03)
We could do a few of those. I'm trying to think of what, what ones we have not attempted or what would be interesting.

Grizz (46:20)
I

Ice Bear (46:22)
I feel like both of us could eat an insane amount of sushi.

Grizz (46:23)
dollar burgers.

and things out.

Ice Bear (46:30)
I feel like that would be a good gorilla episode. Like how many plates can you stack like a yeah, like a Genki. Do they have Genki's in Seattle yet? The conveyor belt ones where you stack your plates and that's how you get the bill at the end of it.

Grizz (46:34)
Like, just taking are you can see she

I don't know. don't think so.

probably. I wonder.

Ice Bear (46:49)
because

that's a good way to measure.

Grizz (46:53)
But like how expensive is that?

Ice Bear (46:56)
So the one I used to go to in Honolulu, they had four different color plates. There's the $1 plate, the $2 plate, the $3 plate, the $4 plate. So if you load up on the onesies, not that bad. But if you start going for like the $4 plates, and the $4 plates were generally like half of like a chef's special, like half of a dragon roll or something. But the $1 plates would be like,

Grizz (47:10)
Okay, okay, so that's not too bad then.

⁓ yeah.

Ice Bear (47:25)
your basic bitch shit like two pieces of California roll like a piece or two of a Nari like piece or two of tempura like like

Grizz (47:32)
Yeah, I know

like people don't like, like, you know, California, like, sushi people, these sushi like California rules are like roles like, are like California. I don't know, Every once in while I'm off. I'm having like really good spaghetti or like, like, like Charles, he had me like all the good shit, but you know, a California rules just sometimes fucking hits. It's refreshing.

Ice Bear (47:49)
Did

You're not wrong. Did I send you the video of that place in ⁓ New York with the little pop up sushi that looks like a push pop popsicle? Okay, okay, I gotta remind me at the end of this, I'll send that to you again. I thought I sent it. So there's this place in ⁓ New York, where it comes in cylinders like sushi shape, but it's got like a packaging. And there's a little push stick at the bottom. So you push it up like one little piece of sushi at a time.

Grizz (48:04)
I think so.

Ice Bear (48:22)
and it comes with a tube on the side with soy sauce. So you can like pour it on top and it's like, it's like a really convenient way to eat a tube of sushi, right? And I would guess these probably have like eight or nine pieces in them, because they're pretty long. They're like that long a tube. And I think the guy said that this place is charging like 15 bucks for them, which is not bad because it looked like very high quality. Like it looked good. Like it looked like they were freshly making these things. It looked

So I would knock out a few of those. That'd be fun to try.

Grizz (48:58)
Yeah, because the thing is like, there's a, there's a, there's an all you can eat sushi spot in Pasadena that I like really like. And it's probably like not the best, best stuff, but it's good. And we'll probably can eat like you get three waves and you can get more than that if you need, but you can get, get one round of like premium stuff and then anything else you want until it's like 50, 60 bucks a person.

Ice Bear (49:05)
Yeah.

Grizz (49:25)
But like, order, but you, you order 30 pieces of fucking salmon, like sashimi, then it pays for the entire thing. So everything after that, she's a fucking win. I, I, last time I went with the tigers, me, the tiger and her brother, like the manager was always like, like, I don't like popping in a bunch after like the second round, like you're good. And I'm like, get out of here, bro. I'm still eating.

Ice Bear (49:38)
Yeah. So

Mm-hmm.

Grizz (49:55)
in Russia me out

Ice Bear (50:00)
you

Grizz (50:00)
Cause

we were getting like rounds of like 30 pieces of salmon sushi, like 20, like 10 pieces. Like it was, we're going in.

Ice Bear (50:05)
⁓

The guy was like, ⁓ no, we've lost our profit for the day. This guy put a hurting on us. The one that I really wanted to take you to here, it closed. They were tired. I was so sad. I'm so sad you're not gonna get to try that place. And now that one, in the last few months, because this is like just a few weeks ago, they shut down.

towards the end of their tenure, they had adjusted the menu to be the salmon, the tuna, and the butterfish sashimi all had like 25 piece limits per person, which like that's a pretty reasonable fucking limit because like that was for each fish. So if you're having 75 pieces of, you're getting your money's worth. Because these were not like, they weren't doing the thin slice bullshit. These were like generous, like good chunks of sashimi. So.

Grizz (50:44)
⁓

yeah. 25.

Ice Bear (51:03)
Yeah, it's going to be sad to see him go. We have another one that's really good, though. So we've got a backup and the same thing. It's like just truly unlimited. And it's not it's like 30 bucks. So. So like 20, 24 American.

Grizz (51:19)
Not better at all, not better at

Ice Bear (51:20)
Yep.

They're gonna they're gonna they're gonna see that big bear energy and they're gonna be scared. They're gonna be like, my God, look at the back on that lad. He's gonna put us out of business.

Grizz (51:33)
in a week to recover. I'm Dan.

Ice Bear (51:35)
Yeah.

Now I want mackerel. Damn it. Why did we talk about sushi?

Grizz (51:41)
Mackerel's good. A good Mackerel's good.

Ice Bear (51:47)
⁓ what's another one? What's another little food challenge?

Grizz (51:53)
I feel like Wings is a good one. We haven't done Wings. Wings is a good one. We enjoyed Wings with like the... ⁓

Ice Bear (51:54)
Wings is a good one.

⁓ yeah, the Tyson fight.

Grizz (52:02)
There you go, yeah. No, that's right. No, that's not. Not Crawford.

Ice Bear (52:05)
Yeah, well, yes it was.

Oh no, it was-

Grizz (52:09)
Crawford

Cannella.

Ice Bear (52:11)
Did we do both? Because you for sure watched the Tyson fight with us. But we did wings for the Crawford one. That's yeah, yeah, I think you're right. I think it was wings.

Grizz (52:15)
I, yeah, I watched the ice point too. Yeah. Yeah. We did wings for the Crawford one. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Cause I was still, was in the, temp housing for that. Yeah. And so I, so I had to cook my own wings. bought an air fryer for it and everything.

Ice Bear (52:25)
Yeah, that's right. That's right.

Fuck, that was a good fight. That was a good fight. The Tyson fight was upsetting because it was so clearly rigged. I don't like, the good news is because of that, I will not, not like we paid money for it in the first place, but I will not even illegally stream any of the Paul Brothers fights, because it's just annoying.

Grizz (52:32)
It was a really good fight.

Yeah.

Yeah, there's another one going on right now, right? It's about to happen.

Ice Bear (53:00)
Probably.

Grizz (53:00)
And I think it's, I think it's like not ⁓ a retired fighter. It's an actual like active fighter.

Ice Bear (53:07)
What's what's which one is it? Who's the who's the wrestler and who's the boxer?

Grizz (53:11)
⁓ Boxers Jake wrestlers

Ice Bear (53:13)
Jake Paul. we go.

He's fighting Anthony Joshua. Okay. Yeah. On December 19th. So yeah, very soon. Okay. So here's the thing. If he were to beat Anthony Joshua, objectively rigged, objectively not. If his face immediately explodes, then okay. Maybe Tyson really is just an old man that likes to walk around in his loin cloth.

Grizz (53:18)
Is he?

yeah, what the f***?

Ice Bear (53:41)
and slowly waddle off cheeks out after smooching the ringside reporter.

Just wasn't

Grizz (53:50)
So funny. That was so good.

Ice Bear (53:56)
ready for older mic rump just out and about.

Grizz (54:01)
You know, and like I, uh, and that's one thing with like the tiger and stuff. had a, I show her old clips of Mike, Mike Tyson. I was like, you have no idea. Like Mike Tyson is terrified. It was the whole, like, you know, the whole, like, uh, when he had the whole thing of like sodomizing the news reporter, this word of her, right. That one. Okay. You know, something was like, cause she was like, it's big. He's big guys. So it's, so it's, know, like it's frightening, but it's like, no.

Ice Bear (54:10)
Mmm.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Grizz (54:30)
You have no idea how frightening that is. Mike Tyson's a big man, but Mike Tyson was a literal monster. And so was showing her like old, like highlights of Mike Tyson fights. I was like, do you think that man, that ferocious fucking beast of a man telling you that, like, what do you do? You have to kill them. You can only kill them and you don't even know if you can, to be honest.

Ice Bear (54:33)
Yeah.

Yeah.

The.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yep.

Yep. He like, when we were like really even. Yeah, even when we were still really young, like late 80s was a whole different thing. But like even when like early 90s, the the amount of speed that man had for someone his size was absolutely bananas.

Grizz (55:20)
insane.

Yeah, absolutely insane. Like, yeah, he, the fucking marvel of a human.

Ice Bear (55:31)
Yeah. I... There aren't very many people that do things that where like I'll watch a video and I'll be like... Like in awe. There's some videos of Tyson where I'm just in awe. Like what the fuck did I just... Like how does someone that big move like that?

Grizz (55:43)
Mm.

It's like. ⁓

It's kind of like the thing, like when you see like actual like, like football players, 300 pound motherfuckers, like spreading off the line, faster shit. And like, I think, cause like it doesn't translate well to the TV, but like when you actually see it in person and you can see like how big the actual are and how fast it was like, Holy fuck.

Ice Bear (56:01)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

No.

Yeah. dude, like

Like some of these O linemen that are running like four eights in the combine, like it doesn't make any sense. Like how is someone that gigantic going that fast?

Grizz (56:25)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

That's almost the thing.

Ice Bear (56:36)
And then the added element with Tyson is because of the fucking shit show that was his youth. Like you have that insane, like actually insane, like he's not wrapped right mentally. And anger, like anger issues and crazy mixed with that physical prowess. Like it's chilling.

Grizz (56:45)
Yeah.

Yeah.

I knew it was literally a monster.

Ice Bear (57:04)
You know what else is

A macaroon machine. think this, I'm giving this one more sip. One more sip. And if it doesn't stop fucking with my nose, I'm done. I'm telling it no.

Grizz (57:17)
I think

maybe you've been sipping at this time. Maybe you should instead of a sip, I mean, you do a chug.

It's a big goal.

Ice Bear (57:30)
that's a little better. The Big Gulp was a little better.

Grizz (57:31)
I think

you got a big dolphin.

Ice Bear (57:36)
It's still not good, but it was a little more palatable. It's the the I cannot explain how strong the coconut smell is and it lingers. You know how like when you have a really spicy like sauce and it like it'll hit your tongue and you get that burst of spice, but then like five seconds later, it has that like whatever that after effect is and it gets hotter. This is that.

Grizz (57:40)
BING BONG

Mm-hmm.

I'm saying whatever the fuck they're doing.

Ice Bear (58:05)
but with the smell of coconut. Like you hit immediately with it and then it keeps going and it's like, it's here. Every time I take a sip, it's here.

Grizz (58:08)
Interesting.

Ice Bear (58:17)
I don't like it.

Grizz (58:17)
Interesting.

Damn. I think you gotta go big gulps.

Ice Bear (58:19)
I'm

doing one more big gulp.

Grizz (58:23)
Big goal.

Ice Bear (58:37)
no man it's not good this is this is a I I don't want to hate it because the cans so cool this might be the first F that I don't pour out I kind of want to treat this as a challenge to finish this now but this is I don't like it this is an F

Grizz (58:59)
Here's the thing though, since it's not an F that you wanna par out, this is an F plus.

Ice Bear (59:03)
Is it an F

plus? It's our first ever F plus. Yep, I think it's an F plus.

Grizz (59:10)
because it's good enough so

you can fathom finishing it.

Ice Bear (59:15)
We've arrived at F plus. Let me tell you, Macaroon Machine.

Grizz (59:17)
That's that's kind of a beautiful thing. You know, I

is perfect You know why it's perfect

Ice Bear (59:27)
Why?

Grizz (59:28)
for frogs.

Ice Bear (59:30)
Breakfast for frogs? What?

Grizz (59:32)
where

no macros come from.

Ice Bear (59:37)
frogs?

Grizz (59:40)
I'm Macroons French.

I'm bringing it all the way back.

Ice Bear (59:47)
I was like, I don't think I was like, I'm pretty sure they're just little little cookie guys with little cream and then then I'm like, is the cookie somehow escargot? Like I was not I was not going French slurs. That's not where my head was going. Also, I really like that most Western European slurs are just whatever food that's weird that they ate like frog.

Grizz (59:59)
Ha

That's fair.

Ice Bear (1:00:15)
Limey.

like it's just it's just all all weird stuff that they eat

Grizz (1:00:24)
You know, the funny thing going back to like slurs and stuff was I, I had no idea that Patty wagon, like what Patty wagon was. just knew Patty wagon was like, you know, like the, the old, old timey police thing with the truck. Yeah, never ever. Like I was like in my twenties when I like,

Ice Bear (1:00:28)
Here we go.

You never thought of it as an Irish thing?

Yeah,

they do not like my ancestors. They liked locking them patties up. They sure did.

Grizz (1:00:51)
I know man, I'm just saying, however you feel about them, they got some cool fucking pictures. Like the IRA got some cool pictures. I'm just saying.

Ice Bear (1:01:00)
One of my favorite things, being a cringy middle schooler, when, I don't know why, I don't know why this came up, but I was like, I don't think you can offend me. And so my friends were trying to offend me. One of them called me a spud fucker. that's like, not only am I not offended,

That is one of the most creative things I've ever heard someone say for an Irish person. I guess pretty good.

Ha ha ha.

and just iron them spuds.

Grizz (1:01:46)
That is so fucking, that is so fucking hilarious.

Ice Bear (1:01:49)
And also,

you've got to remember, this came from like a seventh grader. So this was this was pretty clever for them.

Grizz (1:01:55)
That's the best time. Like I, I, I do remember like being in, I do remember being like around that age and most definitely the nicknames we had for each other or even like my cousins. I, I, I can't say here. It's either like way worse than Schilling's and everything else. Like, like, it's so funny.

Ice Bear (1:02:18)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Grizz (1:02:30)
It's fucking hilarious. Like, is funny. It's really funny.

Ice Bear (1:02:36)
That's a good one.

Grizz (1:02:39)
and then that coke kind of taking me out.

Ice Bear (1:02:40)
What was it?

Did. All right. Since since we're since we're going down this road, let's just fucking go down this road. ⁓ Have have I ever told you the tale of the the innocent, the innocent slur, the unintentional slur that my my beloved seal accidentally said?

Grizz (1:03:00)
No,

I'm very curious. Well, real quick sidebar. All right. How are we feeling on this? We I think I think we're in a good rhythm. We think we think we think we bring another one.

Ice Bear (1:03:12)
⁓ I don't have another beer, but I do have that little surprise I was following earlier. So I...

Grizz (1:03:17)
All right. Should I indulge

you in a surprise or should I get another beer? What do you want?

Ice Bear (1:03:24)
Take your pick, because my surprise is going to be something that I can easily relax with for a minute. So we're not in a super hurry.

My surprise is something that can be mixed with something.

Grizz (1:03:41)
except

All right. Well, I don't mix with anything, but I'll, you know what? I'll indulge you with your surprise before we go down this road. I'm going to go get set up and indulge our, indulge our, our people's.

Ice Bear (1:03:52)
Okay. All right. You go get set up.

I sure will. Okay, so now that he's gone, let's address the elephant in the room. I am truly, truly sorry for those that know that my dear friend, Grizz, is constantly dropping the N-word, like regularly. It's scary. It's alarming. He's not a racist. He knows plenty of folks of African-American descent, but just like nonstop N-word this.

and word that and ⁓ he's just the thing is people that are constantly irritating him he just he says it and that's why he will say ⁓ nag like they're constantly nagging him nagger is what he says

Grizz (1:04:47)
when they made it illegal to say the two words next to each other, because it damages.

Ice Bear (1:04:53)
that's a nice, that's a cube that's not going to fit in that. There we go. There you go. Ooh.

Grizz (1:04:59)
If it's enough.

Ice Bear (1:05:02)
Dude, I don't want to finish this beer. really don't. I'm going to do it. Okay. So back to the tail. I am so excited for you to edit this. That's about as unhinged as I've been. ⁓

Grizz (1:05:15)
Hahaha!

Ice Bear (1:05:23)
⁓ what was it? ⁓ so.

Grizz (1:05:25)
Okay, Japanese

whiskey or good old American.

Ice Bear (1:05:29)
Uh, what do you got? Santori?

Grizz (1:05:34)
⁓ so I don't want to open that one. I do have two that I can't open that are cheaper ones.

Ice Bear (1:05:39)
What are my options? Hit me with my options.

Grizz (1:05:42)
So I have, can open this Sensei whiskey, which is Mizunada Japanese oak cast product of Japan to 40%. Where's this from? It doesn't say, it just says Japan.

Ice Bear (1:05:46)
Okay, Option one.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Grizz (1:06:02)
And then I have...

She boy.

Ice Bear (1:06:08)
OK, shabui

Grizz (1:06:09)
Grain

Select World Whiskey, product of Niigata Japan, 43%.

Ice Bear (1:06:14)
Okay, okay,

okay.

Grizz (1:06:19)
or I have just,

my daily, not my daily, but my normal average thing.

Ice Bear (1:06:31)
My hourly, there's like five empty bottles of it in the back. ⁓ Selfishly, I would like you to do that one because I want you to save the Japanese ones till I get there. All right. OK, so as you know, we have some puppers.

Grizz (1:06:40)
Alright, perfect.

Ice Bear (1:06:52)
they like to go outside. Occasionally, when they go outside, the elements are out there. You know, the lawn isn't covered. We don't have ⁓ a covered lawn. They're exposed to the sky. And sometimes it's raining or snowing. And when they return from the outside world into our home, their backs might have a little moisture on them. And so when you look at a dog, when you look at a dog with the back,

Grizz (1:07:16)
They're my brothers.

Ice Bear (1:07:21)
who's a bit moist, you might say. What about that dog?

Grizz (1:07:23)
They're muggers.

⁓ never mind. was going to call it. So Mojo is multifast, multi-tiered.

Ice Bear (1:07:36)
go on. I don't know, Moojo.

Grizz (1:07:38)
except Mojo's most liked here because at least with the Mexican descent in Texas. right. A common slur for Southern border illegals, Mexican is way back. Now Spanish.

Ice Bear (1:07:55)
Yeah, there we go.

Grizz (1:07:59)
They call them mojados, mojales, right? Because mojales is sweat. So mojado or mojales, Spanish one. Basically means the same thing. Now, like how you say, instead of saying jalapeno, say jalopeno, right? So instead of saying mojal, you call them mojos.

Ice Bear (1:08:04)
⁓

⁓

Uh-huh.

shit. ⁓ no. I've never heard this one before.

Grizz (1:08:25)
So yeah,

yeah, I think this is strictly like Southern Mexican, like, like Southern Mexican American.

Ice Bear (1:08:32)
This is,

this is special racism. This is very good. I like it. I like it a lot.

Grizz (1:08:37)
And it's funny because it's

even like racism, right? It's more like because they're the same ethnicity. It's Mexican on Mexican-American. It's yeah, right.

Ice Bear (1:08:44)
Because this is Mexican on Mexican. It's, it's, it's, it's ethnicism.

It's nationalism.

Grizz (1:08:55)
I think this is what it is, somewhere national, because it's like the Mexican nationals and the Mexican Americans.

All right. So yeah, so yeah, so it's not racism, but it's. It's there.

Ice Bear (1:09:14)
⁓ here's the lad in question himself.

Grizz (1:09:18)
That's look at that boy right there. The thickest years.

Ice Bear (1:09:24)
He a thiccum.

Grizz (1:09:26)
Take them.

Ice Bear (1:09:27)
See ya, sickos.

Grizz (1:09:29)
I forgot how

much I whiskey, god damn.

Ice Bear (1:09:32)
Okay, I need to I need to nut up and just finish this fucking beer. So I can have something that tastes not absolutely terrible. Dude, I really don't want it.

Grizz (1:09:34)
Mmm.

How much do y'all left? Damn. Oh, that's a lot.

⁓

Ice Bear (1:09:55)
It's so

bad. It's so bad.

Grizz (1:09:58)
I'm just saying, all right, if it's enough plus you got to finish it. if it's being downgraded, you don't got to finish it. I didn't finish that Ukrainian slop.

Ice Bear (1:10:08)
just like I've done this much of it it's just I wanna I want to do it but it's it's it's so bad that now it's kind of ruining my my willingness to do something I actually enjoy do I just pour it out do I just give it up downgrade it to an F all right uh macaroon machine I'm sorry you're an F sorry Netherlands your beer engineering has failed

Grizz (1:10:20)
Yeah, I think it's...

I think I'm thinking it. I think so.

Ice Bear (1:10:37)
⁓ that much left. ⁓ damn. I want to finish it,

Grizz (1:10:38)
Mm-mm.

Okay, what if you close your nose and you drink it?

Nope, it didn't work. It did not work.

Ice Bear (1:11:06)
No, it makes it worse somehow. It's like a, it's like a, ⁓

Grizz (1:11:08)
interesting.

Cause for me, what's funny is like when I had durian and I first ate durian, was like, this tastes pretty like, all right. Until I, until like I was chewing it and I opened my mouth and then I smelled it. And then I, all I did was taste the bad smell.

Ice Bear (1:11:14)
Ugh. Ugh.

God, hold on one second.

Grizz (1:11:28)
All right. So.

It's not good, apparently not good at all.

Ice Bear (1:11:37)
Whatever he said was a lie.

Grizz (1:11:39)
So

you mean do you like coconut?

Ice Bear (1:11:42)
⁓ well then whatever he said was true. Okay, now thank thank God something to look forward to. Alright, so you have you have some delicious whiskey over there. I have, in my opinion, the finest Russian water, the finest vodka money can buy. And in my opinion, that is crystal head. Crystal head, crystal head.

Grizz (1:11:45)
is what you do on the day of my daughter's wedding.

I fucking love those.

Ice Bear (1:12:10)
from mother Canada. I believe Newfoundland. Let me take a look at the yeah from Newfoundland. that's that's a good one though spicy tamarind.

Grizz (1:12:14)
The only vodka I have is this one.

So like, yeah, smart enough, whatever, but they have the spicy tamarind vodka. is, this is a tiger special I've had. I got it for her because the only like alcohol she really drinks outside of a EPOS. ⁓ it so good.

Ice Bear (1:12:23)
UGH

Grizz (1:12:37)
Oof.

Ice Bear (1:12:37)
dude, when

when vodka comfortably gets to the taste of something out of your mouth, that's a problem. I mean, like, this is admittedly a smooth vodka, but like, that's a problem. So here's what I'm mixing it with. And this is why I'm so excited. I don't know if you've seen this in the wild. They now make ⁓ Coke, holiday creamy vanilla. And it is, it's so good. And I was drinking it the other day. And I was like, man, that would be really good with a little bit of ⁓

Grizz (1:12:43)
fair.

Mmm.

Ice Bear (1:13:07)
crystal head in it.

Grizz (1:13:09)
That sounds good. I think the only like festive soda I had recently was I had got a 12 pack of Sprite Zero spiced cranberry.

Ice Bear (1:13:20)
Mm-hmm.

Grizz (1:13:22)
phenomenal.

Great, beautiful.

Ice Bear (1:13:28)
Yeah, no, that is really, really good. That is excellent. The cranberry Canada dry is really good.

Grizz (1:13:39)
yeah, that one or like even like the the fruits blast like the cherry Canada dry. Great to

Ice Bear (1:13:44)
Yep, that's

another good one. They briefly had a Blackberry one that is, I haven't seen it in months. So I think it was just like a one-time thing, but that was delicious too. ⁓

Grizz (1:13:48)
Ooh.

Did it make it down this way?

Or at least like, this is disappointing, but yeah. I'm so glad they came out with a Baja Blast Zero, zero sugar one.

Ice Bear (1:14:07)
Dude, if I ever see that here, I'm gonna buy 5,000 of them.

Grizz (1:14:11)
And it's, it's good. It's really good. Just think of like Coke to Coke Zero. Same, same like thing. It's not exactly one to one, but like it's so close. It's you don't feel like you're missing out on anything and it's delicious.

Ice Bear (1:14:25)
Yeah, that's awesome.

Grizz (1:14:27)
Zero Baja Blast?

All right. So let's all right. So let's go back. Let's go back to this before we forget because I'm already kind of forgetting. I'm not going to lie. We we were going on. OK, we talked about why we talked about the it went with fucked up nicknames or whatever of thing. All right. And you were about to go on to a story. Do you remember your tale?

Ice Bear (1:14:38)
Ha ha!

Yep, yep, yep.

Yeah, we finished it. Yeah.

Grizz (1:14:55)
Did we finish it? No,

it was after the spud fucker thing. was, we were saying something else.

Ice Bear (1:14:59)
Yes,

yes, we finished it. And you told me how you say it in Spanish, which I did not know.

Grizz (1:15:04)
⁓

so you call it Titus Webpack.

Ice Bear (1:15:08)
No, I didn't.

The seal did. And I was like, you can't, I was like, you can't say that because she didn't know it was a slur. I was like, no, that's a bad thing. I was like, you can't say that. That's not good. Don't do that. The other thing that we've accidentally said, and I think this one was me, is ⁓ we were having ⁓ nachos and there's like some refibrenes and

Grizz (1:15:11)
This is your cult warfare.

That's funny.

Ice Bear (1:15:38)
like whatever Atlas eats, that's what he becomes. So like, you're like, he's always a little chicken tender, always a little nacho boy. And so he had some of these like, he's a little beaners. no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't mean it. I take it back.

Grizz (1:15:49)
Bean is not

a real one though, I don't know.

I don't think I've ever heard. I don't think I've ever heard anybody call it somebody maliciously and then like stick because the only people I've ever heard call people beaners are like Mexicans to other Mexicans.

Ice Bear (1:15:57)
It's It's fake news.

Like in a jovial banter kind of way. Yeah.

Grizz (1:16:12)
Basically, yeah, it's like you've been here like

like if you do something like super fucking like that's a beater

Ice Bear (1:16:17)
So

is it the equivalent of me saying honky? It's just silly. It's just a goofy.

Grizz (1:16:20)
I think so. think Biner is the fucking,

yeah, I think Biner is the fucking Chipotle honky.

Ice Bear (1:16:31)
Got it.

Grizz (1:16:36)
You know, was like, this is a spicy pepper honky.

Ice Bear (1:16:36)
I really

my god, this is this is my new thing for for just anyone you just add honky to it and insert whatever food you say. that guy over there. He's a real jalapeno honky. Bro, look at that. ⁓ dude, dude, dude, dude, cross the street. There's a there's a fried chicken honky coming over.

Grizz (1:17:06)
Honky is such a good fucking word. It's such a good word. It's so funny.

Ice Bear (1:17:08)
⁓ It's a really good... Thank

you, The Jeffersons. What a show, what a time.

Grizz (1:17:16)
Fuck, God damn.

Ice Bear (1:17:18)
So, shit, man.

So what's it like being ⁓ in a long-term relationship with a wonton honky?

Grizz (1:17:32)
of a donkey.

Ice Bear (1:17:39)
I cannot wait to go call my wife a butter chicken honky. It's the first thing I'm doing when we wrap this up.

just insert food of your people and then honky and you have the perfect slur.

Grizz (1:17:57)
It's so good. ⁓

Ice Bear (1:18:00)
It's really stupid. It's really stupid and it's very good.

Grizz (1:18:06)
It's a great word. It's it's 1000 % a good word.

Ice Bear (1:18:12)
So I don't know if you've seen a lot of the news lately. There's quite a bit of ⁓ talk about the gefilte fish on case.

And then the whole thing with the vodka honkies attacking Ukraine, it's crazy.

Grizz (1:18:35)
⁓ I'm trying to think, you know, as much as like the whole gefilte fish honkets, like their war with the nonkeys is pretty kind of crazy.

Ice Bear (1:18:54)
It, I don't think you can stop it. I think this is perfect. I think we have found the perfect, our hunt for the perfect slur is over. We've, we've nailed it. Add honky to anything.

Grizz (1:19:09)
Can you just imagine this YouTube short, the perfect slur found?

Ice Bear (1:19:12)
The perfect slur found.

Grizz (1:19:17)
fuck, god damn.

Ice Bear (1:19:19)
Finally, now you don't have to be like, that fucking Australian. can be like fucking Kiwi honky. God damn koala honky.

Grizz (1:19:31)
The best thing about Australians is or like if Australia in general is like the ⁓ is the the the lore of the drop bear

Ice Bear (1:19:46)
The Drop Bear?

Grizz (1:19:49)
You know the drop bears So the drop bears how they make foot like they like fucker tourists

Ice Bear (1:19:50)
I don't know about the drop bears.

Okay.

Grizz (1:19:59)
So a drop bear is basically a demonic koala that falls from the tree and fucking attacks you. So drop bear drops down like a koala bear that drops down and attacks you. So like, and so they say, beware, beware of the drop bear. Like, like be careful when you go out to the drop bears and then some foreigners that aren't from there, like, fuck, it's a joke, right? But like, like if you look up drop bear, it's fucking funny as shit. It's the best thing ever.

Ice Bear (1:20:10)
What?

I,

that's the first thing I'm going to do later. It's look up drop bears. is.

Grizz (1:20:30)
All right. I think you need a lookup drop right now because I need a,

be the bear lizard bleed.

Ice Bear (1:20:39)
I was gonna say I hope you mean bleed cuz cuz cuz beat beat at this moment is a weird time

Grizz (1:20:41)
Yeah, I have some self-control. not in middle school anymore.

Ice Bear (1:20:50)
Alright, folks, let's look up drop bears. Let's see what Google has to say about drop bears. Ye olde drop bear. Alright, not drip bear. Drop bear. Okay, drop bear, a popular Australian folklore hoax, a fictional predatory version of a koala that supposedly drops from trees to attack people used to playfully scare tourists with tall tales of its sharp

laws and fangs. Although a harmless myth, not a real creature, similar to Bigfoot. Well, this is... you, AI, because Bigfoot is real, as we all know. AKA a pinecone honky. While a fun cultural joke, it's part of a rich tradition of Australian tall tales meant to entertain and gently prank outsiders. That's good. I like the drop bear. And I will now perpetuate that myth.

telling tales of it for years to come. Well, we learned about we learned about drop bells, well drop bears while you were gone, which was nice. ⁓ We also learned ⁓ the precise slur that you would use for Bigfoot is pine cone honky.

Grizz (1:22:00)
Monaco Alice.

You

that tree slapping rock throw behind going hockey.

Ice Bear (1:22:13)
So, we've learned a lot of good things.

Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. the board.

Grizz (1:22:22)
I just love how like

big foot everywhere. So like in Oklahoma, big foot's a huge thing. Like the big foot sidings are not cool. Some of the biggest big foot sidings were in Oklahoma. So like, like you, if you ever in Oklahoma, you can go to this gas station called gas squash. Fucking awesome. If you ever want Sasquatch feet and slippers, gas squash.

Ice Bear (1:22:45)
So do they call Bigfoot Sasquatch there? So what is your favorite Bigfoot term? Bigfoot Sasquatch? Yeti?

Grizz (1:22:57)
So the Yeti is a snow Sasquatch though, right? Like the Yeti is not, he's not the brown haired wood Sasquatch. That's a abominable snowman mountain Sasquatch, right? Like the Yeti.

Ice Bear (1:23:11)
Okay, that's fair. Let's see what you're saying.

Grizz (1:23:13)
Yeah, think I like Sasquatch more than Bigfoot. For sure. I'm a Satchmo.

Ice Bear (1:23:19)
I I feel like there's

other things to call Bigfoot. Things to call Bigfoot. Things to call your boyfriend. Nope, don't want that. I want things to call Bigfoot.

Grizz (1:23:33)
your boyfriend.

Ice Bear (1:23:33)
Sass...

⁓ skunk ape. I feel like I have, I have heard that, yeah.

Grizz (1:23:36)
Well, it's going to keep another one. And I

think Sunscales more of like Southeast US. remember, right? Like it's like the, or actually I guess like the Appalachian Trail area. So like East coast.

Ice Bear (1:23:43)
Mm.

Yeah.

We also have grass man used for sightings in Ohio. Mountain monster. ⁓ I'm going to butcher this word S-S-T-A-H-A. S-S-T-A-H-A. A name used by some indigenous peoples who view it as a protector. That's fun. Chi'a-tanka, meaning

Big elder brother in Lakota. I'm sorry to our singular Lakota listener if I butchered that word.

Grizz (1:24:21)
Tankachuk, roar.

Ice Bear (1:24:24)
And then you have international versions. ⁓ excuse me, international relatives, the Yeti, a Himalayan abominable snowman, the Yawi, the Australian equivalent, the orange pendek, a smaller biped form in Indonesia, and finally the Yeren, the wild man of China. We've learned a lot of Bigfoot facts today.

Grizz (1:24:48)
Hmm.

Ice Bear (1:24:57)
Yep.

Grizz (1:24:58)
to know that the trinamen Dracula hops.

Ice Bear (1:25:03)
What now?

Grizz (1:25:05)
the Chinese Dracula, the Chinese vampires, they hop.

Ice Bear (1:25:09)
Uhhh... Alright, I'll bite. What?

Grizz (1:25:14)
Yeah. So, so like the, the Chinese vampires, right? Like, like China folklore or scary movie thing, the vampires are they hop.

Ice Bear (1:25:15)
You

huh. Like bunnies? Like they hop?

Grizz (1:25:27)
Yeah.

Yeah. Just Google Chinese.

Ice Bear (1:25:29)
Is this supposed

to be scary or is this supposed to be cute? Are they lulling you into a false sense of security by hopping before they murder you?

Grizz (1:25:39)
Like

it is... ⁓

It's actually that was Chinese vampire, Chinese vampire.

Ice Bear (1:25:49)
⁓ no, where is this going? I'm ⁓

Grizz (1:25:56)
The Chinese hopping vampire known as the Jiangxi is a reanimated corpse from Chinese folklore that moves by hopping due to stiffness caused by rigor mortis. The term Jiangxi literally translates to stiff corpse. So like it's in like ⁓ scary movies and shit, which makes it even funnier, right? ⁓

Ice Bear (1:26:07)
course.

⁓

Hmm.

Dude, I get why I'm confused because here we call them fortune cookie honkeys. So that's why I was confused. That's why I was thrown off by that. My bad. My bad. I'm sorry.

Grizz (1:26:29)
You

Where is it?

Ice Bear (1:26:42)
So wait, have you seen a movie with one of these in it?

Grizz (1:26:44)
Yes.

Ice Bear (1:26:46)
Okay, hold on. Alright, bear with me. I'm going to step away so I can try and I'm going to try and emulate what I'm imagining.

Grizz (1:26:52)
I'm trying to find one right now.

I'm trying to find one right now and it's so good.

Okay, I'm finding where it is.

Ice Bear (1:27:10)
Did I capture it?

Grizz (1:27:13)
You're pretty close. Pretty close.

Ice Bear (1:27:16)
I would not be scared of that. Like I would not be scared of something hopping. I would just walk away.

Like I would walk at an adequate pace away from it.

Grizz (1:27:28)
Yeah, I mean honestly

Let's see.

At least, at least at the very thing, you'll always know if there's a vampire, like because they're going to be hopping towards you. You know what I mean? Like you're never going to be surprised.

Ice Bear (1:27:48)
Mm. Yeah, it's I mean, it's the hop is not a stealthy maneuver. Like I've never been like surprised by someone hopping in my direction. What you do just hop over here? No, like I've never said that once in my life. shit, you hopped up behind me. I'm sorry. I missed you.

Grizz (1:28:05)
Yeah, bye.

Here we go. You ready for this?

Ice Bear (1:28:10)
I don't think

so, but let's try it.

Grizz (1:28:14)
to have audio share. is Mr. Vampire by Eureka Entertainment.

Ice Bear (1:28:21)
my god.

I can't believe this episode is going to get pulled for Eureka copyright infringement.

Grizz (1:28:30)
Here we go.

Ice Bear (1:28:33)
BWAH!

Grizz (1:28:34)
So you see this, is Metal Gear Solid coded

Ice Bear (1:28:39)
Okay.

What in the Michael Jackson is going on here?

Come on ya!

Grizz (1:29:04)
Jumbo.

We fast forward in this.

the fuck, more strips?

Ice Bear (1:29:21)
Okay, what is this movie?

I need to watch this whole movie.

Grizz (1:29:24)
I,

it's called Mr. Vampire too.

Ice Bear (1:29:27)
Is Mr. Vampire 1 any good?

Grizz (1:29:31)
I would hope so. I'd imagine it is.

Ice Bear (1:29:34)
Okay, I'm absolutely gonna watch that because that was insane. And so wait, do Chinese vampires leave you alone if you give them your clothes?

Grizz (1:29:44)
I guess so. Maybe they're just homophobic. They don't like gays. And so they're like.

Ice Bear (1:29:47)
That is...

What a What

a weird. I hope you're right. I hope it's just that like they're just like really. They're insecure sexually vampires. They're just like, oh, oh, oh, oh, that's that's that's engorged with blood. I don't want that. No, I don't want that. Oh, no, no, no, no, I this blood not downstairs blood. No, no, no, no.

Grizz (1:29:59)
It was just like Matt Garley, like, ugh. ⁓

That's not the blood I want. oh

Ice Bear (1:30:22)
All right, hear me out. Hear me out. Here's my pitch for Mr. Vampire 3. Movie opens. A simple but a simple fortune cookie honky lying in bed pitching a tent. Mourning arousal. A vampire lurking over the bed seeing tent pitched and he goes, Ni hao, Kylan.

Then he runs away because he's scared of the the budding feelings inside of himself

Grizz (1:30:58)
That kind of reminded me of, you know.

And reminding me of you, you know, replace pitch tenting fella with pregnant Filipino lady and you get an Aswang Isn't it Aswang or Tiktik It's Aswang, right? Yeah. Aswang's like the,

Ice Bear (1:31:14)
Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah,

that's a fun monster.

Grizz (1:31:23)
Yeah, there was, I remember, I don't remember the movie's name. think it's probably just was called Aswang, but there was, I remember watching it, right? And watching this movie and the way they find out who the Aswang is, is you know, Boy Bawang. My man: Boy Bawang the greatest fucking corn Filipino corn nut/chip ever. Boy Bawang: delicious. They got garlic. They got the garlic flavor. Boy Bawang Right. Amazing. Well, anyways, my man, protagonist of this movie.

Ice Bear (1:31:37)
Hmm?

Grizz (1:31:52)
eating a bag of garlic. Boy Bawang and the Aswang's there's like, he's like, Hey, you want some? And the Aswang's like,

Nah bro, I'm good. He's like, sure you don't want one? You want this delicious garlic flavored Boy Bawang And that's they found out who the Aswang was. And I was like, you know what? If anybody's going to save our day, it's our Boy Bawang

Ice Bear (1:32:11)
Ugh.

That's really good. That's a good test.

That's a really good test. Fucking hell. Well, let me tell you.

We have invested in some ⁓ heavy philosophical issues tonight as per usual. I'm proud of us. It was a good.

Grizz (1:32:38)
True. We're worldly,

worldly, worldly fellas.

Ice Bear (1:32:43)
was a good kickoff to the holiday season. We should start a book club for this show.

Grizz (1:32:50)
Hmm.

Ice Bear (1:32:52)
The reason I say this is because I got a library card.

I know, I know I'm a fancy boy. I got a library card. You know what I got with my first book?

Grizz (1:33:04)
Christmas reading. The Rape of Man King.

Ice Bear (1:33:11)
Mine's not much better. The first book I rented was 1984. So I've been hearing a lot of people just use the phrase Orwellian. And like, I read it in high school and Animal Farm, and I don't remember them. So I was like, you know what, I want to read it now and see if it stands up to time. And I imagine it will.

Grizz (1:33:17)
Great book, fantastic book.

Great book.

Love it.

Ice Bear (1:33:43)
But yeah.

Grizz (1:33:44)
It really does honestly. like George Orville is fucking great. George Orville was a socialist. So most of his views are from there from that perspective. So you keep that in mind, whether you agree or disagree. ⁓ but fantastic 1984 is great. My favorite part in there, like obviously is, ⁓ the middle, the middle section of the book is like where he falls in love and like the girl and like all that stuff. Favorite part. Fantastic.

Ice Bear (1:33:56)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Grizz (1:34:15)
because it's like you have him realizing, big brother ain't shit Kind of thing. And you have this girl who's just like, she's like, I dunno, wonder lusts, like wildflower kind of type. So she's like, so you kind of like, they kind of egg each other on in this way. That's like great. But then, you know, like, so it's the best part of the book, fantastic. But I think the last time I read it was probably like two or three years ago.

Ice Bear (1:34:28)
Mmm.

For me, it's gotta be 20. Cause it was, was like mandatory reading in like my sophomore year. So yeah, man, we're looking like 20 years ago.

Grizz (1:34:52)
Yeah, really,

after reading 1984, a really good short read. It's small book. It's not a lot, but it's a collection of essays from him. And it's called like, it's called Why I Write from George Orwell's Why I Write. It's a really, really good collection of essays. It's really cool to listen to, or really cool to read.

Ice Bear (1:35:09)
Mmm.

or

very nice. Look at look at that. Look at us turning it around. It's not just not just blank insert honky. It's also book talk.

Grizz (1:35:26)
Booktok is for perverts. It's just like female gooners.

Ice Bear (1:35:34)
That's our audience. That's our whole audience.

Grizz (1:35:38)
The booktoks weird because it's just literally.

Like the guys are like, like the hentai fans that are like, it's their whole personality. It's like those types, but like women of those types that think they're better because they read, they read the book and not the watch the movie. So you, you, you combine those type of people with like the hentai weirdos and that's booktok.

Ice Bear (1:36:00)
yeah.

Are you aware, as we wrap this up, are you aware of I believe it's called All About Wood? I'm fact check myself as you're thinking if you've heard of this.

Grizz (1:36:22)
such as talking about that milking Minotaur book.

Ice Bear (1:36:25)
No, this is probably worse. ⁓

Is this it?

So.

Morning Wood? Morning Wood? Summer at a Meadow? I'm pretty sure I'm going to research it. The title may or may not be all about wood, but the premise of this book is a woman goes to a Christmas tree farm. obviously three of the Christmas trees are actually men that were cursed into becoming Christmas trees. And the only way they can lift the curse of being a Christmas tree.

Grizz (1:36:58)
don't like to say anything.

Ice Bear (1:37:18)
is to find true love. And as this lady is walking around the Christmas tree lot, she sees these trees and all three of the trees are just instantly smitten. And so when they become humans again, thanks to the potential of love, because the logistics of the curse are very weird and they can like become humans when they're like the love potential is there. ⁓ They'll become humans very fast. And of course, right away, they just

Grizz (1:37:21)
Hmm

Ice Bear (1:37:49)
engage in some vigorous hanky panky and then they're as humans able to explain like look the only way we can permanently lift the curses by finding true love and now all three of us Christmas trees have to court you over the next two weeks and and it's just utter fucking nonsense but also good on someone for writing a book about Christmas tree porn ⁓

Grizz (1:38:19)
You know, I'm a firm believer of just because you can doesn't mean you should. And so.

Ice Bear (1:38:26)
You know what? You know what? I'm gonna combat that.

Let's go!

Grizz (1:38:36)
If you finish this, Harambe doesn't die.

There we go. Timeline restored.

Ice Bear (1:38:46)
Harambe lives.

God, it's so bad. It's an F still. No F plus. It's an F. It's a really, really, really, ⁓ it's really bad. It's such a

It's such an immediate strong smell. It's weird.

It's hard to... Man, I can't explain it. Ooh, don't drink that. If you see it, don't get it. Don't do that.

Grizz (1:39:22)
Don't be a damn coconut honky.
