EP 39 | Strange Animals

The bears are back and immediately debating whether they'd survive the Winter Olympics — spoiler: they would absolutely dominate curling and they have zero doubt about it. From bobsled physics to skeleton luge jiggle physics, Grizz and Ice Bear rapid fire their way through every Winter Olympic sport with the kind of unbridled confidence that can only come from two guys who have never done any of these things.

The conversation takes its usual detours through whiskey deadlifts and the sweet spot between liquid courage and actual strength training, Texas hospitality vs Pacific Northwest coldness, Hawaiian sovereignty and illegal annexation, Maui fire blue roof conspiracies, and why Tacoma deserves more respect than it gets.
