Bear, DE
Meredith comments on the coincidence of "Griz" and "Bear". Griz says that that's not his real first name (it's Jim) but most people don't know that. He joined the Navy in the 1970s and went to boot camp with a full Afro and beard and his drill instructor gave him the name "Grizzly Adams". Meredith says it suits him.
