This week, we’re talking Grizzly—the 1976 movie where a giant bear goes full slasher villain in a national park. It’s like Jaws... but with fur, questionable dialogue, and a bazooka. We dig into the chaos, the carnage, and ask the big question: why does this bear hate helicopters so much?

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Well, hey there, folks, Just like how only you can
prevent forest fires, only you can prepare yourself for what's
ahead on this podcast. But before we hike into the
woods of horror films and all the terrifying tales they tell,
you should know that on this show, we'll be taking
a deep dive into some of your favorite scary movies.
But be warned there will be spoilers hidden behind every
(00:26):
tree stump. So if you haven't seen the movie we're
talking about, well you should probably circle on back to
the trailhead partner. Not only that, but things can get
a little let's say explicit. Around here. You'll hear strong language,
and those opinions of ours, oh, they can be as
sharp as a bear's fangs. So remember, only you can
decide if you're ready for the journey ahead. So stick
(00:49):
around if you're prepared to face all those spoilers and
listen to all that strong language and entertain some seriously
bold takes.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Otherwise, tread lightly.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Lord, all right, this is the largest postseason crowd we've
ever had. There's just no way with the scolding crew
that we're gonna be able to handle it. What Kelly
is concerned about is we got more backpackers pitching tents
than raccoons in the woods. Okay, now everybody goes out
(01:22):
and patrol.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
There's no way we can keep an eye on all
those backpackers.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Oh, we're just gonna do the best we can.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Okay, everybody knows where they're supposed to go, so let's
get with it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Hi, Hello, and welcome to this week's episode of Monster Madness,
a podcast dedicated to all sorts of creatures, features and beyond.
I'm Erica and joined with me is a man who
much liked the Grizzly in this movie, can tear through
anything in his path, especially if he's hungry enough.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
My co host Matt, Yeah, I mean, if I had to,
there's a will, there's a way, especially if she's involved.
I don't know what that was.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I'm sorry, I don't know, but I really wish I
could make it to do a gift. That face was
so dead in so dead inside, and just it was like,
have you ever seen the perverted cat gift?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I be shocked if I didn't. There's just like a
cat sitting there wiggling its tongue, right, Yeah, it's just like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's just dead panning and just moving into time. I
don't think it's real, but if it is, it's the
best thing ever. While Matt's looking that up, you can
find Monster Madison all your favorite podcasting platform sites, social
media things of that nature. Matt' dreams video game he
found it. He's dreams video games and drum sessions from

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Did you see I don't care about fuck your intro?
Did you see the update to the Bloodsoe Farmhouse. It's
like super bright inside now watch. I watched a video
I didn't play it.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh yeah, no, I actually wanted to play tomorrow. I've
been itching. I haven't played in a couple of weeks.
I think Brooke and her friend are actually gonna probably
play a couple of rounds tonight.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
But all right, sorry, finish your shit.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, all the links will be posted in the show notes.
You know where it is so mad? Do you have
anything that fucks? Because I have two things to discuss
and potentially parallel show or not parallel. I don't know
what you would call it. It's literally the opposite of
does it fuck? And I'm not. I don't have a name,
and I have.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Settled it would be an inverse segment, Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
An inverted said segment of sorts.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I just blacked out. What did I say something smart?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You didn't? Kind of maybe a little bit. I don't
want to give you credit.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
If only this were recorded.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I immediately jumped to the no, because that's juice usually
because you're usually wrong, but you're no, you actually did
say something correct, I know, but no, today I was
looking at a menu for something and I said the
words everything in this world needs to chill the fuck out.
So I think that might be the tentative name for
that part segment because no.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
This would actually be ninety percent of the conversations that
I have with our dear friend the sweet summers. It's
just like the fucking world needs to stop.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Okay, so chill the fuck out? Is it going to
be a new part? But before we get into chill
the fuck out. I have a couple of things that
head my gv's this week. Do you have anything I do?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
As I mentioned, I tried a meal prep, which is
whatever someone just is like, here's a huge ass meal
and then I portion you out like an adult. It's
like a chicken bacon ranch with sun dried tomato, slow cooker,
cheesy bitch with noodles. Yeah, buddy, Yeah, no, it's super good.
And it's just like I can't remember if it was
a half hour, a quarter cup of fat free ranch dressing,
(04:51):
a ranch packet, three pounds of chicken breast. You bake
it or you slow cook it for three hours on
high shred the chicken, dump in a bag of fat
fat free, fat free moncerel, a bag of fat free
cheddar free, a bag of like bacon crumbles, and then
a bag of sundried tomatoes, and you just make that
motherfucker up and then you just split it out. And
(05:13):
then I did you can get like, Buddy makes protein pasta,
So I did that. So it's just made with like
chickpeas and shit. So it's it's yeah, broccoli.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So that like that pasta. What I'm not a fan
of that kind of pasta, like chickpea pasta. I've had,
like a boy, is it Bonanza or Banza or whatever
and brahma other one. No, it's like Banza. It's an
orange box. I might be it's not like Bonanza.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh no, you're right, it is. It's Banza. There's there's
another one called Brami protein pasta that's Loopini, super beans
and wheat. I have not tried the band, so this
is like, I mean, I undercooked it on purpose because
I was remcrowaving everything and it's the yappy noodles. I
don't notice anything with the texture, but I know what
(06:01):
you're talking about. It's a mixture of chickpea and like flour,
so it's not full full, fucking grainy bitch. Those butter
bean Nope, butter beer goldfish crackers are fucking They're terrific.
They taste like little, tiny butter Scotchy Graham crackers in
the shape of little fishies. Yes, I'm trying to think
(06:22):
I got a Dylan. Our friend Chris and I split
a case of rap snacks, which, if you're not familiar,
are like wrapper themed bags of chips, and they did
a four pack. It was four of four flavors based
on Rappers from New Orleans for the Super Bowl, and
(06:45):
because we bought it after the super Bowl, it was
like fifty percent off. So we got sixteen four ounce
bags of chips for like fifty bucks, which is pretty
fucking cheap, especially when it's branded with Rapper. Those are
really good. There's it's like a spicy honey barbecue louise
A heat. There's like a barbecue all dressed type chip.
And then there is one other one that's just like
(07:05):
a spicy thing too solid ooze fucks too. Because the
world is falling apart and everything's awful.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, I don't think we need to mention that in
the sense of like getting into detail, but please know
that we are here for everybody. Oh, we are all
suffering the same fate. Americans. Yeah, I love you. This
is a very safe space.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Did the government forgive my student loans yet? Because that
fuck face looked.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
That would be great. I have one thing that he beat,
my GBI's, and then just something a note that I
have in the wrong section but costco. He be's my GBI's.
I recently got a membership.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Welcome to the Good Life get yourself for rotisserie chick
and turn your seat warmer on to keep that motherfucker
hot on your way home.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Right, So they have two day free two day delivery
that they'll do like a lot of their dry goods.
You won't get anything fresh like, they won't do produce
or milk or dairy or anything like that. Here. I
don't know if it's the same for you, but like
their warehouse and like delivery place that will not send
stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
It was a delivery through instacart.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Oh okay, yeah, that they will do it that way.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, which I only did it because I needed eggs
and eggs are really hard to come by and our
chickens haven't started laying, and then they were out of eggs.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
So yeah, I didn't even I don't even think when
we went, I don't even think I saw eggs because
everybody's just going fucking crazy.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Right. I went again earlier this week, it was like
Monday or some shit, just no eggs to be found whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
So dumb, so costco fockx wholesale just fucks in general.
There's something so intoxicating about that store. I don't know
if it's their little samples or their wide aisles. I
don't know, the large boxes.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I don't know, but they had like they have really
good It's like for what you're buying, the stuff is
really good. Like I really like their Caesar salads, like
the big motherfucker, which I just get to make two
meals out of, so for you it's like six. I
buy chicken there because it's more cost effective based on
the amount of chicken. Then I eat. Every once in
a while, I will get steak. It's always good. I
(09:05):
don't buy cheesecakes because I don't need a cheesecake that
should be able to feed an entire football team for myself.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You don't want a thirty dollar Tira massou.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Cheese, Oh I do. I don't need it. I wish
I could buy a single slice Costco. Maybe make single
slices an option.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
That would be nice, would be nice, It would be nice.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
But they consistently and traditionally have very good stuff and
the prices are always so fucking good.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I bought I think it was thirty pounds of chicken
breast and it was like thirty dollars probably.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Yeah, their chicken breast are always They're two Ninion nine
and pound or whatever those a little six six segment
of bitches.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, and when I went, it was on sale for
some reason. I don't know if they had like an
overstock or something. So I got like a deal of
some sort, and yeah, I was really shocked. I spent
a shit ton of money the first time I was there,
But I'm like, I'm not going to have to buy
half these things for I bought a fucking roll of
aluminium or aluminum as Americans say.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Is it the fucking like food service one that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I was like, We're never gonna have to buy aluminum
foil again. I was so excited.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
My parents bought one, and my mom put a date
on it and they got it in like March of
twenty eighteen, and they're still going amazing. Yeah, I thought
about it. It's just where we keep our aluminium foil.
I can't fit the whole thing in there, soide like
reconfigure the drawer and then it's just goofy.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I was actually thinking, because we have in my house,
we have like cabinets above and then there's like a
bunch of empty space underneath it. I was thinking about
like installing like a thing and just hooking that bitch
on there and just cutting it with scissors when I
need it, because I use aluminum foil all the time
because the kids are always like, want to reheat something?
Chicken nuggets. We got chicken nuggets the dine. Here's the thing.
(10:53):
You're an adult, but do it. It's a five pound
box of chicken nuggets. But those fucking nuggets are the
best chicken nuggets I've ever asked.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
So I know I've told you about the chicken nuggets
at the sushi place.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I know you've told me that.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
So on Tuesday, we finally got Dylan to go. So
we sit down and it's a hiccup, spa my other coworker,
Peter Dylan, Dylan's girlfriend of myself, and you get an
(11:29):
iPad and I literally like, they're not even settled, and
I've already got a shit ordered because we did. We
just we have a dollar of science. And Seth is like,
what did you get? And I said, well, first off,
I got two chicken nuggies, and then Dylan's like, shuck
the fuck up. So she comes over and she sets
them down and she goes chicken nuggies and he goes.
She really says chicken nuggies, and I said, I wouldn't
fucking lie to you. So he takes a bite and
(11:50):
he just goes, well, it's fucking tyson, And I said,
and he goes, it's pretty good. I said, I wouldn't
lie to you like he did. Like the chicken nuggets.
After I've made it eat them, I.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Should write, well, I know the date of when I
got the aluminium, so I'm gonna keep that in mind.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
My mom does weird shit like that, like if she
gets low on a bag of chips, she'll cut the
top off. I do that, do you really? So yeah, yeah,
it's less reaching. I'm totally on board for it. I
did it one time and Alissa looked at me and
she was, you're fucking ridiculous. So I stopped because I
was getting bullied in my own home about my five
foot tall life.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I don't like my like knuckles getting all grimy and greasy,
so I cut the bag so it's less likely to
get my hands all fucked up.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Nine times out of ten, I will pour chips into
a bag because then that limits of how much I
will eat. Sorry a bowl, yes, you're right, I was.
Sometimes I'll do a cup like an actual glass cup.
Like if I do popcorn, I'll just put it in
a cup. It's because there's just more. So that's the
same internal conflict of what word was about to come
on in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Portion control is what that's called. But yeah, cocktails the tits.
I literally ordered today five hundred dryer sheets. I'm excited.
I'm never gonna have to buy dryer sheets again.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
How much were they take?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Eleven dollars?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Oh, it's not bad. I usually just do the two
forty from Walmart and it's like eight or nine bucks.
But you probably go through a lot more than I do.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
How many loads of laundry do you do a week?
Do you say?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
It's hard to say. I do one, two, maybe three
on Friday, sheets Sunday, and then maybe one more of
clothes on Sunday, so six total. Pops.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
No, that's pretty much kind of the same for me.
And then you know, I do sheets every week, if
not every other week at the most. And then you know,
with the cats, because I'm very OCD and I refuse
to let my house smell like animals. I like wash
blankets and couch covers all the time. Say you know so, yeah,
costco Costco's the best. But the best part about Costco
(13:49):
is that, goddamn Glizzie.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Dude, I've still never gotten one.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
You've never gotten one.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Because I'm When I'm leaving Costco, the last thing I
want to do is sit down and choke down a fucking.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Hot dog with why don't you eat? Go get it
when you get there, and walk around and eat it.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
And shop Like I'm in and out at Costco.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I'm making an event, baby, because if I have to
drive that far, I might as well take my goddamn time.
And plus it was the first time we were there,
so we were there for like an hour and a half,
just going up and down the aisles, like looking at everything.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
If there are less people there, I will do that,
like I will go up and down aisles. If there's
a ton of people there, I just grab what I
need and I fucking I'm out.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh no, I get you. But yeah, when we got there,
she Brooke was hungry, so I was like, well, let's
go and get food. We just you know, got our
picture taken on the card and everything like total legit.
It's amazing. And my bitch Jeanette helped me out. She
was a lovely older woman who tried to sell upsell
me the Costco credit card. I had to deny her
multiple times. She was the sweetest gal, but you know whatever,
(14:50):
Brooke got a slice of pizza. That pizza doughe but delicious.
And then when we were on the way out, because
she's like, do you want to get your hot dog? Now,
I'm like, girl, I know my stomach, so let us
just get the shopping done. So if you know, we
hit threat level midnight, at least will be closer to
home because I don't know if that's horse meat or
(15:10):
what's gonna agree with my body.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
So it's premium cuts of pork. I don't know what
you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Whatever, it's literally the size of my forearm. It's piping hot.
I doused that mother effort in mustard and I took
a bite. It had like a snap, and I was
in heaven. I almost ate that whole damn thing too.
Please please get the hot dog from Costco? Please?
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I will. And I really should have nothing against eating
hot dogs? Is there any of that shit? I just
never think about it till I'm my way out. And
then the last usually ours is like really busy because
I'll go around lunchtime.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
There you go, yeah, so yeah Costco he Be's my GBI's,
but really quickly and then we'll get into what movie.
We're talking about things that need to chill the fuck
out this week. And this is gonna be contra vial
because I know it's a fucking hot button food you know,
(16:07):
fad right now, but I am tired of every fucking
place trying to put hot honey on everything. I have
never even had hot honey because at this point I
refuse because everything is like doused in it. I don't
care if it's just like a little drizzle of it
(16:29):
or it's a specific egam that like, oh, yes, here
is a you know, hot chicken sandwich with honey on it. Whatever.
Stop trying to put it on my pizza. Stop trying
to put it, like on every every fucking thing. I
saw hot honey in Ramen the other day and that's
when I was like, everything needs to chill the fuck out.
It doesn't have a place there. And again I could
(16:50):
be completely wrong because I haven't tried it, but it's
being so forced down my throat figuratively and literally, I
don't know if I would like it. At this point,
out of spite the yell, I'm just you know, this
is the heated section of the show.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I don't disagree. I have a jar of hot honey.
I enjoy a jar of hot honey.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Look are you lathering your body in it?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
No? No, no no. And that's the thing is, like
I'll put it on the occasional pizza, an occasional chicken wing.
I like it, but it's not fucking be all end all.
The first time I ever had hot honey was on
a Pepperoni pizza and it was really good and I
applied it. It was not forced upon me. The second
time I had it was on a Pepperoni pizza and
he beat my goddamn GBI's. It was when I was
(17:32):
down in West Virginia and the place made it that
way and it was super fucking good. It has gotten
out of control. I'm trying to think of like actual
decent applications. I made a Korean chicken sauce because I
made Korean chicken nostris with the golden Serachi doritos, and
I used hot honey in that. It's fine. The problem
is is like it's nine fucking dollars a bottle. So
(17:55):
it's wildly expensive for what it is. Granted, if you
don't bathe in it at lasts a long time. I
have the Hot Honey Ritz. They're fine. I plowed through
like a sleeve because I opened it and then gave
two sleeves away, and the last one's just sitting in
my cabinet. I just like, I don't disagree with you,
but it's it's it's the way that the world works.
(18:16):
We find one thing that someone likes and then they're like, here,
just fucking get bookcockied with it.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Can't take it.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
It's obnoxious. Like think of any Netflix show that they
really are pushing hard. Squid Game, for example. I don't
hate it. I just don't understand why everyone loves it
so much. It came out, then it was in Call
of Duty, and then you know they're already talking about
the next season, and there's all this other shit that
comes along with it. There's promotional shit everywhere for it.
The world finds something that's decent and then they're like, no,
(18:44):
people are gonna like this whether they like it or not.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And then yeah, it's just this oversaturation that I cannot stand.
But either which way do you have anything that needs
to chill the fuck out as of right this moment,
or do would you like some time because we do
have another episode?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
No, I mean I could complain, but we need to
talk about this movie. And I'll complain about this movie.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I know you will, all right this week. The movie
we are discussing is nineteen seventy six Grizzly, also known
as Jaws on land in a National park with fur
and claws. Basically, hey, you scared us.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Sorry, I didn't mean to. What can we do for you?
Stay out of trouble? What kind of trouble?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
We just don't take any unecessary risks. This is a
pretty tricky area.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
How long are you girls gonna be up here? We're
leaving short day, right after we eat.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Don't forget to check in at the ranger station before
you leave.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Don't worry, we'll be down before it gets dark. Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So Grizzly is rated R. It was filmed somewhere in
nineteen seventy five, don't know an exact date. It was
released on May twenty first, nineteen seventy six. It is
considered a horror, thriller and adventure genre film. It's a
run time of ninety one minutes, which is a rate
in Matt sweet Spot. But we have Harvey Flaxman and
David Sheldon for writing credits. It was produced by Monturo
(20:07):
Productions and distributed by Film Ventures International. The music was
done by Robert o' ragland and the special effects by
Glenn Ross and George Ross.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
No more like Lenningary, Nope, Clenning Gerry drop their eager nuts.
No fuck, it's a line from zach Ander making Porno,
and I've butchered it. It's one of the best lines
in the whole movie.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Like you're trying to say a rhyme right now, like
there once was a man from Nantucket. Our cast is
as follows. Nobody knows any of these people. Christopher, George Richard,
Jackal Andrew Prine, Joe Dorsey, and Joan McCall. Some taglines
for the film, The most Dangerous Jaws in the Land
eighteen feet of gut crunching man eating terror. Not since
(20:52):
Jaws has the terror been like this This summer, the
National parks belong to the grizzly. What's the budget?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Seven hundred and fifty thousand. I couldn't remember. Seventy five
thousand or seven hundred, so I had to like scroll
three dollars. That's three point three million dollars today. Now,
are you ready for the fucking goofiest statistic about this movie?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Hit me?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
This movie apparently made thirty nine million dollars in nineteen
seventy six. That's like two hundred and twenty one million
dollars right now, which to me is obnoxious. It's obnoxious
on so many fucking levels.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
A fun fact about this movie, A manouche if you will.
Grizzly became the most financially successful independent film at the
time of its release, proving the appeal of nature attacks
horror films. Following Jaws. People love Jaws. They wanted to
see animals, fucking shites, and this is basically Jaws in
a national park with a bear. We're gonna hop right
(21:52):
into the plot of this amazing film. So our film
opens with a sweeping aerial shot of a nationh park,
showcasing its beauty and isolation. The peacefulness is short lived
as we are introduced to two young female hikers who
are setting up camp deep in the woods. As they
explore of the area, one of the women ventures into
the woods alone, to freshen up by a stream. Suddenly,
(22:15):
without warning, a massive force crashes through the underbrush. The
woman barely has time to react before she is viciously
attacked by an unseen predator. The second hiker, hears the screams,
rushes to help, but is met by the same gruesome fate.
Their bodies are left mutilated, limbs torn off, and torsos shredded.
The next day, ranger Michael Kelly, the park's chief ranger,
(22:37):
arrives at the crime scene after a forest patrol discovers
the gruesome remains. Upon examining the bodies, he is disturbed
by the sheer brutality of the attacks and realizes that
this is no ordinary bear mauling. Kelly consults Scott, a
dedicated naturalist and expert on bear behavior. Scott examines the
wounds this would be Hooper are Hooper and is immediately alarmed,
(23:00):
explaining that no modern grizzly bear should have the strength
or aggression to afflict this level of damage. He theorizes
that the culprit could be an evolutionary throwback, a prehistoric
bear species thought to be extinct, possibly some Latin word
for an ancient bear that stands over fifteen feet tall.
It's arctotis Simus look it up. Determined to prevent further deaths,
(23:25):
Kelly insists they close the park aka Like the Beaches
for Fourth of July and issue an emergency warning. However,
his request is met with bureaucratic resistance from his superior,
the superintendent, Charlie Kittridge. Kittridge is concerned about the park's
revenue and the public perception, and he refuses to shut
down the area, instead, opting for increased ranger patrols. Sound
(23:50):
her fucking familiar and then the bear strikes again. As
more campers flood the park unaware of the lurking danger,
the bear continues on its rampage. A young woman camping
near a river is attacked and killed in another savage encounter.
Her boyfriend, returning from gathering firewood, stumbles upon her half
eaten corpse and runs in terror hmm, maybe like a
(24:12):
half eating corpse found on the beach, only to be
swiftly killed by the beast as well. The attacks cause
panic amongst the park staff and people inside, and Kittridge
is forced to acknowledge that they are dealing with an
unusually aggressive bear. He reluctantly authorizes Kelly to track and
kill the bear, though he continues to resist shutting down
the park entirely. Kelly, Scott, and Don, a seasoned helicopter
(24:35):
pilot and Vietnam War veteran, sets out to hunt the grizzly.
They assemble a group of park rangers and local hunters,
though Scott warns that conventional hunting tactics may be useless
against such an intelligent and powerful animal. The hunt proves disastrous.
Several hunters are ambushing killed, with this one scene depicting
a man's body being hurled through the air as if
(24:57):
thrown by an unseen force. Another, stationed in the lookout
tower this was my favorite fucking part, is attacked in
one of the film's most memorable sequences. The grizzly, demonstrating
an almost supernatural level of intelligence intelligence, topples the tower,
sending the ranger plummeting to his death before tearing his
body apart. The hunt failing, Kittridge insists on a more
(25:20):
aggressive approach, bringing in additional hunters armed with high powered rifles. However,
their presence only exacerbates the problem, pushing the bear deeper
into the park. And making it harder to track. Oh,
this was fucking wild. I didn't think they were going
to go here. So the next death is when a
mother and her young son are picnicking in a secluded meadow.
The child is playing and wanders too far from his mother.
(25:43):
Before she could call him back, the bear charges out
of the trees and decapitates the child in a single swipe.
The mother, in horror, tries to flee, but she too
is killed. Didn't think they were going to go there,
but you know, they also did kill a kid in Jaws,
but this was like a toddler, and they were just
like cut us heet off. At last, Kelly and Don
(26:03):
take to the skies in the helicopter, using it to
track the bear. The aerial search leads them to a
hidden valley where the grizzly has made a layer. As
they descend, the massive bear emerges from the trees and
is hulk in a hulking form, towering over them. The
bear charges the helicopter, swiping at it with amazing strength. Kelly,
(26:24):
realizing that traditional weapons won't be enough, grabs a bazouka
and takes aim in a spectacular explosion. The missile strikes
the Grizzly, blowing it to pieces, and the beast is
finally killed. As the smoke clears, Kelly and don stare
at the burning remains of the grizzly. The park is
finally safe, but the coast of the cost of their
(26:46):
battle is very evident. Scott and countless victims lost to
the rampage of this bear, and the final shot lingers
on the wilderness, hinting that despite the destruction, the untamed
wild will always remain unpredictable. Ending.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
The only good thing about this movie is the fact
that they didn't make eight sequels. Maybe Oh, I didn't
even see that there was a sequel. I was just
looking for that before I made that comment.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
What's amazing is that it came out in twenty twenty
and it's called Grizzly Too. It has like a sub.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Thirty seven years in the making, Grizzly Too to Revenge.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
It looks like, oh my god, Charlie, Charlie Sheen, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
So is Laura Derm isn't it?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Wait? And George Cloton say, why is it?
Speaker 4 (27:30):
No? George Clooney is not in this?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
What the fuck? I'm literally clicking on images It says
Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Oh my god, you're right. I was just looking at
Google and it wasn't in there.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Thirty seven years in the making Grizzly too, So they
filmed this in the eighties and then did it.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Release the wonder it looks so awful. Yes, Oh my god,
the trailer is goofy as fuck.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Oh I gotta watch this. We might have to do
a bonus on this.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, my life, why did I say something?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Oh? Stop like you don't have fun? Okay, So that
is Grizzly and we are one thousand percent going to
watch Grizzly two eventually, but before we get into would
we survive? And some fun facts that I have about
Grizzly Bears Matt Yaanayer Sleigh fucking slay.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Really fuck this movie so fucking dumb.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I'm gonna yay it, of course, because I here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
This friendship I had to.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
You say, it lists on like a fucking daily basis,
and yet here we are almost closer to a decade
than away from it. You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (28:37):
You keep talking. I gotta figure out what the fuck
we find that we.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
First met seven years ago?
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Why do you know that so quickly.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Because this podcast is six years old. At least a year.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Oh my god, we've been doing this for six fucking years.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I think so. I think it came out in twenty eighteen.
Did I make that up?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
You talk? I'll do math.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
So I'm inaying it because if I find like some
semblance of enjoyment out of it, I can't like fully
neigh or slay something. This movie made me fucking laugh
the way that they film the bear. It's a normal
fucking grizzly or brown bear, but they literally just filmed
it and used props like fake bear arms and just
(29:19):
had it like standing on its hind legs, never near
really anybody, because it's a normal fucking size bear. There's
no fifteen feet fifteen foot bears. But before we get
into would we survive? I want to toss some bear
knowledge on yo as.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
The first episode of this was in September of twenty nineteen,
so god no, because the last time we talked about it,
just googled it and it was before the galactic NetCast
face or web page was gone, so that page just
popped up and now, holy shit, Damien to the Omen
has fifty one thousand views of your your episode, and
(29:59):
then there's the show has six.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
It's really funny how that works out.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
They're all like re uploads or some shit.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
But wow, popular, dude.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
No, I've been ridiculed far more on the Internet than
I have anything else I have.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Fuck the internet.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
So on your episode some reason, it's uploaded twice twenty
four views though, thanks, Hey, welcome.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
I do what I can. My popularity really just flooded
your show. They're not truly. The name grizzly bear comes
from the grizzled and grayish appearance of the fur, but
not all grizzly bears actually look grizzled. In some regions,
they are simply known as brown bears, as they are
a subspecies of a broader brown bear family.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Fuck bears, I realized. I watched the Frighteners for episode
fifty four of the podcast are I don't remember it.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
That was a lot of beers ago that.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Thank you, That's what I was gonna say. Finally, Booze
comes in handy continue there it is.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Despite their massive size, grizzly bears are incredibly flat fast.
They can reach speeds up to thirty five to forty
miles per hour just faster than Usain Bolt. Just so
you know, Grizzly bears have an estimated bite force of
around close to twelve hundred psi. It's stronger than a
lion with two times stronger than a lion and even
(31:16):
a great white shark. They both have a psi between
six twenty five and six fifty and their jaws can
easily crush bones. So bears are fucking beasts, and they're
one of my favorite animals because they're just so fascinating
to me. And I'll dive into that a little bit further,
but they scare the shit out of me. Grizzly bear
claws are much longer than black bear claws, measuring up
(31:37):
to four inches long. And that's why bear attacks are
pretty fucking gnarly. Like, if you just google bear attack,
you're gonna see someone with like half their fucking face
hanging off. It's disgusting. They have an incredible sense of smell.
They can detect food over twenty miles away. They are omnivores,
(31:59):
but they actually only mainly eat plants. About ninety percent
of their diet is vegetation. They can hibernate for five
to seven months. Their heart rate goes from fifty beats
to about eight to twelve when they're in hibernation, and
I fully wish that I could come back in my
next life as a bear to sleep half my life away,
because I would be a great They can swim very
(32:22):
long distances, so don't think that that's the way you're
going to get out of shit. Bears can swim very well.
They are very intelligent. They can exhibit problem solving skills,
memory retention, and even playful behavior. Some have been observed
using tools such as sticks to scratch themselves. They can
weigh between four and eight hundred pounds, but they have
been recorded to be up to twelve hundred pounds. This
(32:45):
one is a little bit of a sad fact. I mean,
unless you're completely petrified of bears. While grizzlies are thriving
in Alaska and parts of Canada, their population in the
US has dwindled to less than two thousand, and they
mostly stay in protected areas like yellow Stone and Glacier
National Park, which is fine. I don't want a grizzly
bear walking down the streets of my neighborhood, but I
(33:05):
want them to thrive, just like I want everybody to thrive.
So Matt, with all of that knowledge and the fact
that most bear attacks are defensive attacks, they think that
they need to defend themselves. They rarely hunt because if
they hear humans, they tend to kind of go away.
(33:26):
They're not looking for humans, but if they get the
taste of humans, then they want humans. They're not really
surprise attackers or scavenging attackers. If they're scavenging and attacking
you because they're starving. You have been in an area
where you shouldn't have been because bears are getting close
to hibernation and that's when they're very aggressive. But yeah,
so knowing that you really kind of have to be
(33:48):
in the wrong place at the wrong time, do you
think that you're surviving a bear attack? Like you're walking
in the woods with Judy, Sweet precious Judy. I'm trying
to give you more motivation to Oh, if it was you,
you just lay on the ground and play dead. But
if you have Judy, you're gonna like, we have to
save Judy with arms bottle.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
The world is a better place to Judy in it.
It's a tough one man. They're fast motherfuckers. I'm not fast.
I'm built for strength, not speed. That's a tough one.
If it's like I see it from a distance, it
hasn't seen me. I have the ability to get away.
I think I could do it. Judy's not a barker,
so I think we'd be safe. I would just have
to pick her up and then she would be very
(34:31):
uncomfortable with everything, and then we could get away. If
that bear sees me on toast end of story.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
It might see you and be like one of my
own and then just nuzzle your head.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
I'm not hairy enough.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I mean, if you're in your hoodie, the imagination could
go wild.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Yeah, and then before we know it, bears trying to
make sweet sweet bear loved in my.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Butthole, and then it's a then you make a hybrid baby,
and then there's like Matt Bear, Matt bear Man. Yeah.
I mean I think most of us would say that, like,
if a bear sees us, we're fucked. Have you ever
seen a bear in real life?
Speaker 4 (35:04):
No? And it's funny because I'm the old for sale
listing for the house behind us. One of the pictures
they included was a picture of a bear.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
A bear, a bear? Duh, bears excuse me?
Speaker 4 (35:16):
When I played D and D one of the girlfriend
of the guy who ran everything. She had the ability
to turn into a bear, and she would just get
really drunk and just go turn into a bear because
she's from the South. So yeah, everything sounded like fucking
sweet tea.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
There you go. I have seen a bear in real life,
but it was a black bear. It was on the
side of the.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Road, just like a good thing. I didn't ask you.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Yeah, well, I was gonna tell you anyway. You never
asked me. I always have to answer my own questions.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
I'm sorry. That makes me a really shitty friend, and
now I feel super bad about it. I apologize.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
It's okay, we'll work on it. Okay, you are one
of the most considerate people. I know. I'm fucking with you.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Sometimes I forget to ask people how they're doing and
shit like that, and it's not for any other reason
other than I just it just didn't come to mind.
I mean, I have seen a bear in a zoo,
and I understand that's not the question that you've asked.
And now I will let you tell your story.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Oh no, I mean it really isn't a crazy story.
I was stuck in traffic on some highway I think
I was in New York, like Upper New.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
York, and I just picture you in traffic and you
look over and there's just a fucking bear in the
car next to you, shaking its pot. Someone, No, your
story is the bear is on the side of the road.
I'm picturing a bear driving like a fucking.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
We should have left forty minutes ago, jan.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
It exactly, That's what I'm saying. Then there's a little
bear cub in the back screaming because he's got a pee.
The other one's asking if were there yet, So why
Harold the bear killed?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
His whole family were Jannon and cubs. But yeah, I
mean it was a black bear, and people were slowing
down even more so to look at it, and I'm like, guys,
it's just a fucking black bear. Just leave it alone.
It's not going to go in the road. It's probably petrified,
and it's gonna go right back into the fucking woods
and eat a fucking bird. I don't know, but yeah, man, bears,
bears or something. Have you ever heard of Timothy Treadwell.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
I don't know why I know that name, but I
know that name.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
It's grizzly man. Have you ever seen that documentary.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Uh, no, I know that he gets eaten, though someone
ruined the ending for me.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
No, I mean everybody knows that he died. It's free
on TV if you're a documentary boy and want.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
To fair enough, I do like documentaries. I'm not opposed
to this. I just uh, I don't know, man, I
like to laugh. Lately, I'm on a weird like rabbit
hole of going through these old podcasts hair episodes and
seeing who was on him, and like, I don't remember
who some of these people are. It's nice to see
that there is proof that I knew Annie Chang before
(37:42):
she was on the fucking TV show with John Cena.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
There you go, man, get her back.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
Wow. I think we're still Facebook friends. I don't know.
She may have unfriended me, and I wouldn't blame her.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Why you're lovely so grizzly man. I would advise watching
the document because it's a very good documentary. But Timothy
treadwill Well was a guy who was a bear advocate.
He would stay in a national park in Alaska and
just chill with bears for months at a time, right
before they went into hibernation. And his friends and like
(38:22):
the bear groups, advocate groups, advocacy groups which are needed.
I'm not saying they're not very much. Think that his
death was extremely tragic and shocking watching that documentary. He
had no business being there, He had no training to
be there, even if he was an out avid outdoorsman.
He was illegally in these areas and he died because
(38:45):
of his lack of preparation, and he got someone else
killed at the same time. So like he was savagely
murdered by a bear as well as his girlfriend. And
he was pretty insufferable in the documentary because he just
thought he was better than everybody and he's like there
are yeah, he's like these are my friend and I
just love him so much. Like that's how he talks.
(39:06):
And it gets a little bit much because you can
tell it's a bit like nobody normally just talks like that,
And uh, yeah, I feel obviously, I feel bad. Nobody
deserves to get mauled by a fucking bear. And there's
actually there's audio of the attack and it exists, but
(39:26):
it's never been released in the public. But you they
describe it.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
In I'm guessing you found it.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
No, no, you can't, because the person that has it
is his friend, and she either destroyed it or put
it in a safe and refuses to listen to it.
She's never listened to it. Werner Herzog, who did the documentary,
who's a pretty popular director. They film him while he's
listening to it, and he's visibly upset because like you're
(39:54):
listening to a person being ripped apart and streaming and dying.
I learned a lot watching that, and uh, it was
sure something. But yeah, I would die in a bear
attack very easily. I can't climb a tree. I have
no upper by strength, even though they can climb too.
I can't swim really well, and they're faster than me running,
(40:15):
So I'm fucking dead. And if a bear is coming
at me, I'm just going to run headfirst into a
fucking tree.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
So I'm a adrenaline You have to hope that adrenaline
helps you get up that fucking tree.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I think, honestly, I would become like a fucking ninja
if adrenaline fully pumped through my body, Like I'd be
like Parkour and be like hopping on tree tops Parkour, Parkour.
I got nothing, you win, thank you. There are a
couple of manoties. I'm gonna skip a lot of them
because we talked a lot and nobody cares. This film
(40:47):
became the most financially successful independent fill in nineteen seventy six,
earning thirty nine million dollars. We talked about that earlier,
breaking several records across the board. Halloween nineteen seventy eight
would break this record two years later, and I think
it held it for a pretty long time. Clause nineteen
seventy seven is an unrelated independent horror film about a
killer grizzly bear in Alaska, was re released in nineteen
(41:08):
seventy eight in Canada and Mexico as Grizzly Too. To
capitalize on the success of both this film and Jaws,
That Dirty Bastard. Grizzly Too came out in twenty twenty.
The film's casting crew and any and all extras and
bystanders were all forbidden to go anywhere near the Grizzly
Bear while it was being While the film was being made, obviously,
and this is going to be the last thought, the
(41:30):
last manuche on a Grizzly Filming for a sequel, Grizzly
Too Revenge started in the early eighties, but it was
never entirely completed. An original workprint of the film illegally
surfaced on the Internet in two thousand and seven. The
film was finally released to theaters and on home video
on January eighth, twenty twenty one, so even more recently,
even though it says, Grizzly to Revenge twenty twenty came
(41:52):
out in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Filmed in the eighties, I thought I saw that when
I was doing thirteen seconds of too much research on
that movie.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
It's gonna be my favorite movie all time.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
Of course it's because you're a piece of shit.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
Ooh Jesus, Well, that is nineteen seventy six Grizzly. That's
all the minutias I have, That's all the comments that
I have. Matt, you got anything anything else you want
to say.
Speaker 4 (42:17):
About Grizzly all I want this to be over.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
Okay, So yeah, that's gonna do it for Grizzly. Next
up will be Day of the Animals from nineteen seventy seven,
which kind of falls into the same exact kind of movie.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
I think.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
There's bears, fucking tigers, birds, there's a bunch of shits.
Stay of the animals. Who knows. I haven't seen it,
but that's what we're gonna watch next. Bye.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
Hey Cale, Yeah, Parker Lane came up and they handed, well, look,
get him back out there. Nobody sleeps until we get
that sound of a bitch.
Speaker 4 (42:55):
Hey, come on, Kelly, you can't.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
We got killer on our hands now, no excuses, please.
Speaker 5 (43:06):
Us assess the school, yish.
Speaker 4 (43:50):
School, elish school. J D
Speaker 5 (45:56):
Dream on my head in your car,
Well, hey there, folks, Just like how only you can
prevent forest fires, only you can prepare yourself for what's
ahead on this podcast. But before we hike into the
woods of horror films and all the terrifying tales they tell,
you should know that on this show, we'll be taking
a deep dive into some of your favorite scary movies.
But be warned there will be spoilers hidden behind every
(00:26):
tree stump. So if you haven't seen the movie we're
talking about, well you should probably circle on back to
the trailhead partner. Not only that, but things can get
a little let's say explicit. Around here. You'll hear strong language,
and those opinions of ours, oh, they can be as
sharp as a bear's fangs. So remember, only you can
decide if you're ready for the journey ahead. So stick
(00:49):
around if you're prepared to face all those spoilers and
listen to all that strong language and entertain some seriously
bold takes.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Otherwise, tread lightly.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Lord, all right, this is the largest postseason crowd we've
ever had. There's just no way with the scolding crew
that we're gonna be able to handle it. What Kelly
is concerned about is we got more backpackers pitching tents
than raccoons in the woods. Okay, now everybody goes out
(01:22):
and patrol.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
There's no way we can keep an eye on all
those backpackers.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Oh, we're just gonna do the best we can.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Okay, everybody knows where they're supposed to go, so let's
get with it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Hi, Hello, and welcome to this week's episode of Monster Madness,
a podcast dedicated to all sorts of creatures, features and beyond.
I'm Erica and joined with me is a man who
much liked the Grizzly in this movie, can tear through
anything in his path, especially if he's hungry enough.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
My co host Matt, Yeah, I mean, if I had to,
there's a will, there's a way, especially if she's involved.
I don't know what that was.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I'm sorry, I don't know, but I really wish I
could make it to do a gift. That face was
so dead in so dead inside, and just it was like,
have you ever seen the perverted cat gift?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I be shocked if I didn't. There's just like a
cat sitting there wiggling its tongue, right, Yeah, it's just like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's just dead panning and just moving into time. I
don't think it's real, but if it is, it's the
best thing ever. While Matt's looking that up, you can

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Did you see I don't care about fuck your intro?
Did you see the update to the Bloodsoe Farmhouse. It's
like super bright inside now watch. I watched a video
I didn't play it.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh yeah, no, I actually wanted to play tomorrow. I've
been itching. I haven't played in a couple of weeks.
I think Brooke and her friend are actually gonna probably
play a couple of rounds tonight.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
But all right, sorry, finish your shit.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, all the links will be posted in the show notes.
You know where it is so mad? Do you have
anything that fucks? Because I have two things to discuss
and potentially parallel show or not parallel. I don't know
what you would call it. It's literally the opposite of
does it fuck? And I'm not. I don't have a name,
and I have.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Settled it would be an inverse segment, Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
An inverted said segment of sorts.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I just blacked out. What did I say something smart?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You didn't? Kind of maybe a little bit. I don't
want to give you credit.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
If only this were recorded.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I immediately jumped to the no, because that's juice usually
because you're usually wrong, but you're no, you actually did
say something correct, I know, but no, today I was
looking at a menu for something and I said the
words everything in this world needs to chill the fuck out.
So I think that might be the tentative name for
that part segment because no.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
This would actually be ninety percent of the conversations that
I have with our dear friend the sweet summers. It's
just like the fucking world needs to stop.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Okay, so chill the fuck out? Is it going to
be a new part? But before we get into chill
the fuck out. I have a couple of things that
head my gv's this week. Do you have anything I do?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
As I mentioned, I tried a meal prep, which is
whatever someone just is like, here's a huge ass meal
and then I portion you out like an adult. It's
like a chicken bacon ranch with sun dried tomato, slow cooker,
cheesy bitch with noodles. Yeah, buddy, Yeah, no, it's super good.
And it's just like I can't remember if it was
a half hour, a quarter cup of fat free ranch dressing,
(04:51):
a ranch packet, three pounds of chicken breast. You bake
it or you slow cook it for three hours on
high shred the chicken, dump in a bag of fat
fat free, fat free moncerel, a bag of fat free
cheddar free, a bag of like bacon crumbles, and then
a bag of sundried tomatoes, and you just make that
motherfucker up and then you just split it out. And
(05:13):
then I did you can get like, Buddy makes protein pasta,
So I did that. So it's just made with like
chickpeas and shit. So it's it's yeah, broccoli.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So that like that pasta. What I'm not a fan
of that kind of pasta, like chickpea pasta. I've had,
like a boy, is it Bonanza or Banza or whatever
and brahma other one. No, it's like Banza. It's an
orange box. I might be it's not like Bonanza.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh no, you're right, it is. It's Banza. There's there's
another one called Brami protein pasta that's Loopini, super beans
and wheat. I have not tried the band, so this
is like, I mean, I undercooked it on purpose because
I was remcrowaving everything and it's the yappy noodles. I
don't notice anything with the texture, but I know what
(06:01):
you're talking about. It's a mixture of chickpea and like flour,
so it's not full full, fucking grainy bitch. Those butter
bean Nope, butter beer goldfish crackers are fucking They're terrific.
They taste like little, tiny butter Scotchy Graham crackers in
the shape of little fishies. Yes, I'm trying to think
(06:22):
I got a Dylan. Our friend Chris and I split
a case of rap snacks, which, if you're not familiar,
are like wrapper themed bags of chips, and they did
a four pack. It was four of four flavors based
on Rappers from New Orleans for the Super Bowl, and
(06:45):
because we bought it after the super Bowl, it was
like fifty percent off. So we got sixteen four ounce
bags of chips for like fifty bucks, which is pretty
fucking cheap, especially when it's branded with Rapper. Those are
really good. There's it's like a spicy honey barbecue louise
A heat. There's like a barbecue all dressed type chip.
And then there is one other one that's just like
(07:05):
a spicy thing too solid ooze fucks too. Because the
world is falling apart and everything's awful.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, I don't think we need to mention that in
the sense of like getting into detail, but please know
that we are here for everybody. Oh, we are all
suffering the same fate. Americans. Yeah, I love you. This
is a very safe space.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Did the government forgive my student loans yet? Because that
fuck face looked.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
That would be great. I have one thing that he beat,
my GBI's, and then just something a note that I
have in the wrong section but costco. He be's my GBI's.
I recently got a membership.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Welcome to the Good Life get yourself for rotisserie chick
and turn your seat warmer on to keep that motherfucker
hot on your way home.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Right, So they have two day free two day delivery
that they'll do like a lot of their dry goods.
You won't get anything fresh like, they won't do produce
or milk or dairy or anything like that. Here. I
don't know if it's the same for you, but like
their warehouse and like delivery place that will not send
stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
It was a delivery through instacart.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Oh okay, yeah, that they will do it that way.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, which I only did it because I needed eggs
and eggs are really hard to come by and our
chickens haven't started laying, and then they were out of eggs.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
So yeah, I didn't even I don't even think when
we went, I don't even think I saw eggs because
everybody's just going fucking crazy.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Right. I went again earlier this week, it was like
Monday or some shit, just no eggs to be found whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
So dumb, so costco fockx wholesale just fucks in general.
There's something so intoxicating about that store. I don't know
if it's their little samples or their wide aisles. I
don't know, the large boxes.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I don't know, but they had like they have really
good It's like for what you're buying, the stuff is
really good. Like I really like their Caesar salads, like
the big motherfucker, which I just get to make two
meals out of, so for you it's like six. I
buy chicken there because it's more cost effective based on
the amount of chicken. Then I eat. Every once in
a while, I will get steak. It's always good. I
(09:05):
don't buy cheesecakes because I don't need a cheesecake that
should be able to feed an entire football team for myself.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You don't want a thirty dollar Tira massou.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Cheese, Oh I do. I don't need it. I wish
I could buy a single slice Costco. Maybe make single
slices an option.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
That would be nice, would be nice, It would be nice.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
But they consistently and traditionally have very good stuff and
the prices are always so fucking good.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I bought I think it was thirty pounds of chicken
breast and it was like thirty dollars probably.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Yeah, their chicken breast are always They're two Ninion nine
and pound or whatever those a little six six segment
of bitches.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, and when I went, it was on sale for
some reason. I don't know if they had like an
overstock or something. So I got like a deal of
some sort, and yeah, I was really shocked. I spent
a shit ton of money the first time I was there,
But I'm like, I'm not going to have to buy
half these things for I bought a fucking roll of
aluminium or aluminum as Americans say.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Is it the fucking like food service one that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I was like, We're never gonna have to buy aluminum
foil again. I was so excited.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
My parents bought one, and my mom put a date
on it and they got it in like March of
twenty eighteen, and they're still going amazing. Yeah, I thought
about it. It's just where we keep our aluminium foil.
I can't fit the whole thing in there, soide like
reconfigure the drawer and then it's just goofy.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I was actually thinking, because we have in my house,
we have like cabinets above and then there's like a
bunch of empty space underneath it. I was thinking about
like installing like a thing and just hooking that bitch
on there and just cutting it with scissors when I
need it, because I use aluminum foil all the time
because the kids are always like, want to reheat something?
Chicken nuggets. We got chicken nuggets the dine. Here's the thing.
(10:53):
You're an adult, but do it. It's a five pound
box of chicken nuggets. But those fucking nuggets are the
best chicken nuggets I've ever asked.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
So I know I've told you about the chicken nuggets
at the sushi place.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I know you've told me that.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
So on Tuesday, we finally got Dylan to go. So
we sit down and it's a hiccup, spa my other coworker,
Peter Dylan, Dylan's girlfriend of myself, and you get an
(11:29):
iPad and I literally like, they're not even settled, and
I've already got a shit ordered because we did. We
just we have a dollar of science. And Seth is like,
what did you get? And I said, well, first off,
I got two chicken nuggies, and then Dylan's like, shuck
the fuck up. So she comes over and she sets
them down and she goes chicken nuggies and he goes.
She really says chicken nuggies, and I said, I wouldn't
fucking lie to you. So he takes a bite and
(11:50):
he just goes, well, it's fucking tyson, And I said,
and he goes, it's pretty good. I said, I wouldn't
lie to you like he did. Like the chicken nuggets.
After I've made it eat them, I.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Should write, well, I know the date of when I
got the aluminium, so I'm gonna keep that in mind.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
My mom does weird shit like that, like if she
gets low on a bag of chips, she'll cut the
top off. I do that, do you really? So yeah, yeah,
it's less reaching. I'm totally on board for it. I
did it one time and Alissa looked at me and
she was, you're fucking ridiculous. So I stopped because I
was getting bullied in my own home about my five
foot tall life.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I don't like my like knuckles getting all grimy and greasy,
so I cut the bag so it's less likely to
get my hands all fucked up.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Nine times out of ten, I will pour chips into
a bag because then that limits of how much I
will eat. Sorry a bowl, yes, you're right, I was.
Sometimes I'll do a cup like an actual glass cup.
Like if I do popcorn, I'll just put it in
a cup. It's because there's just more. So that's the
same internal conflict of what word was about to come
on in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Portion control is what that's called. But yeah, cocktails the tits.
I literally ordered today five hundred dryer sheets. I'm excited.
I'm never gonna have to buy dryer sheets again.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
How much were they take?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Eleven dollars?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Oh, it's not bad. I usually just do the two
forty from Walmart and it's like eight or nine bucks.
But you probably go through a lot more than I do.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
How many loads of laundry do you do a week?
Do you say?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
It's hard to say. I do one, two, maybe three
on Friday, sheets Sunday, and then maybe one more of
clothes on Sunday, so six total. Pops.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
No, that's pretty much kind of the same for me.
And then you know, I do sheets every week, if
not every other week at the most. And then you know,
with the cats, because I'm very OCD and I refuse
to let my house smell like animals. I like wash
blankets and couch covers all the time. Say you know so, yeah,
costco Costco's the best. But the best part about Costco
(13:49):
is that, goddamn Glizzie.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Dude, I've still never gotten one.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
You've never gotten one.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Because I'm When I'm leaving Costco, the last thing I
want to do is sit down and choke down a fucking.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Hot dog with why don't you eat? Go get it
when you get there, and walk around and eat it.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
And shop Like I'm in and out at Costco.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I'm making an event, baby, because if I have to
drive that far, I might as well take my goddamn time.
And plus it was the first time we were there,
so we were there for like an hour and a half,
just going up and down the aisles, like looking at everything.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
If there are less people there, I will do that,
like I will go up and down aisles. If there's
a ton of people there, I just grab what I
need and I fucking I'm out.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh no, I get you. But yeah, when we got there,
she Brooke was hungry, so I was like, well, let's
go and get food. We just you know, got our
picture taken on the card and everything like total legit.
It's amazing. And my bitch Jeanette helped me out. She
was a lovely older woman who tried to sell upsell
me the Costco credit card. I had to deny her
multiple times. She was the sweetest gal, but you know whatever,
(14:50):
Brooke got a slice of pizza. That pizza doughe but delicious.
And then when we were on the way out, because
she's like, do you want to get your hot dog? Now,
I'm like, girl, I know my stomach, so let us
just get the shopping done. So if you know, we
hit threat level midnight, at least will be closer to
home because I don't know if that's horse meat or
(15:10):
what's gonna agree with my body.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
So it's premium cuts of pork. I don't know what
you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Whatever, it's literally the size of my forearm. It's piping hot.
I doused that mother effort in mustard and I took
a bite. It had like a snap, and I was
in heaven. I almost ate that whole damn thing too.
Please please get the hot dog from Costco? Please?
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I will. And I really should have nothing against eating
hot dogs? Is there any of that shit? I just
never think about it till I'm my way out. And
then the last usually ours is like really busy because
I'll go around lunchtime.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
There you go, yeah, so yeah Costco he Be's my GBI's,
but really quickly and then we'll get into what movie.
We're talking about things that need to chill the fuck
out this week. And this is gonna be contra vial
because I know it's a fucking hot button food you know,
(16:07):
fad right now, but I am tired of every fucking
place trying to put hot honey on everything. I have
never even had hot honey because at this point I
refuse because everything is like doused in it. I don't
care if it's just like a little drizzle of it
(16:29):
or it's a specific egam that like, oh, yes, here
is a you know, hot chicken sandwich with honey on it. Whatever.
Stop trying to put it on my pizza. Stop trying
to put it, like on every every fucking thing. I
saw hot honey in Ramen the other day and that's
when I was like, everything needs to chill the fuck out.
It doesn't have a place there. And again I could
(16:50):
be completely wrong because I haven't tried it, but it's
being so forced down my throat figuratively and literally, I
don't know if I would like it. At this point,
out of spite the yell, I'm just you know, this
is the heated section of the show.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I don't disagree. I have a jar of hot honey.
I enjoy a jar of hot honey.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Look are you lathering your body in it?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
No? No, no no. And that's the thing is, like
I'll put it on the occasional pizza, an occasional chicken wing.
I like it, but it's not fucking be all end all.
The first time I ever had hot honey was on
a Pepperoni pizza and it was really good and I
applied it. It was not forced upon me. The second
time I had it was on a Pepperoni pizza and
he beat my goddamn GBI's. It was when I was
(17:32):
down in West Virginia and the place made it that
way and it was super fucking good. It has gotten
out of control. I'm trying to think of like actual
decent applications. I made a Korean chicken sauce because I
made Korean chicken nostris with the golden Serachi doritos, and
I used hot honey in that. It's fine. The problem
is is like it's nine fucking dollars a bottle. So
(17:55):
it's wildly expensive for what it is. Granted, if you
don't bathe in it at lasts a long time. I
have the Hot Honey Ritz. They're fine. I plowed through
like a sleeve because I opened it and then gave
two sleeves away, and the last one's just sitting in
my cabinet. I just like, I don't disagree with you,
but it's it's it's the way that the world works.
(18:16):
We find one thing that someone likes and then they're like, here,
just fucking get bookcockied with it.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Can't take it.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
It's obnoxious. Like think of any Netflix show that they
really are pushing hard. Squid Game, for example. I don't
hate it. I just don't understand why everyone loves it
so much. It came out, then it was in Call
of Duty, and then you know they're already talking about
the next season, and there's all this other shit that
comes along with it. There's promotional shit everywhere for it.
The world finds something that's decent and then they're like, no,
(18:44):
people are gonna like this whether they like it or not.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And then yeah, it's just this oversaturation that I cannot stand.
But either which way do you have anything that needs
to chill the fuck out as of right this moment,
or do would you like some time because we do
have another episode?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
No, I mean I could complain, but we need to
talk about this movie. And I'll complain about this movie.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I know you will, all right this week. The movie
we are discussing is nineteen seventy six Grizzly, also known
as Jaws on land in a National park with fur
and claws. Basically, hey, you scared us.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Sorry, I didn't mean to. What can we do for you?
Stay out of trouble? What kind of trouble?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
We just don't take any unecessary risks. This is a
pretty tricky area.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
How long are you girls gonna be up here? We're
leaving short day, right after we eat.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Don't forget to check in at the ranger station before
you leave.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Don't worry, we'll be down before it gets dark. Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So Grizzly is rated R. It was filmed somewhere in
nineteen seventy five, don't know an exact date. It was
released on May twenty first, nineteen seventy six. It is
considered a horror, thriller and adventure genre film. It's a
run time of ninety one minutes, which is a rate
in Matt sweet Spot. But we have Harvey Flaxman and
David Sheldon for writing credits. It was produced by Monturo
(20:07):
Productions and distributed by Film Ventures International. The music was
done by Robert o' ragland and the special effects by
Glenn Ross and George Ross.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
No more like Lenningary, Nope, Clenning Gerry drop their eager nuts.
No fuck, it's a line from zach Ander making Porno,
and I've butchered it. It's one of the best lines
in the whole movie.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Like you're trying to say a rhyme right now, like
there once was a man from Nantucket. Our cast is
as follows. Nobody knows any of these people. Christopher, George Richard,
Jackal Andrew Prine, Joe Dorsey, and Joan McCall. Some taglines
for the film, The most Dangerous Jaws in the Land
eighteen feet of gut crunching man eating terror. Not since
(20:52):
Jaws has the terror been like this This summer, the
National parks belong to the grizzly. What's the budget?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Seven hundred and fifty thousand. I couldn't remember. Seventy five
thousand or seven hundred, so I had to like scroll
three dollars. That's three point three million dollars today. Now,
are you ready for the fucking goofiest statistic about this movie?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Hit me?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
This movie apparently made thirty nine million dollars in nineteen
seventy six. That's like two hundred and twenty one million
dollars right now, which to me is obnoxious. It's obnoxious
on so many fucking levels.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
A fun fact about this movie, A manouche if you will.
Grizzly became the most financially successful independent film at the
time of its release, proving the appeal of nature attacks
horror films. Following Jaws. People love Jaws. They wanted to
see animals, fucking shites, and this is basically Jaws in
a national park with a bear. We're gonna hop right
(21:52):
into the plot of this amazing film. So our film
opens with a sweeping aerial shot of a nationh park,
showcasing its beauty and isolation. The peacefulness is short lived
as we are introduced to two young female hikers who
are setting up camp deep in the woods. As they
explore of the area, one of the women ventures into
the woods alone, to freshen up by a stream. Suddenly,
(22:15):
without warning, a massive force crashes through the underbrush. The
woman barely has time to react before she is viciously
attacked by an unseen predator. The second hiker, hears the screams,
rushes to help, but is met by the same gruesome fate.
Their bodies are left mutilated, limbs torn off, and torsos shredded.
The next day, ranger Michael Kelly, the park's chief ranger,
(22:37):
arrives at the crime scene after a forest patrol discovers
the gruesome remains. Upon examining the bodies, he is disturbed
by the sheer brutality of the attacks and realizes that
this is no ordinary bear mauling. Kelly consults Scott, a
dedicated naturalist and expert on bear behavior. Scott examines the
wounds this would be Hooper are Hooper and is immediately alarmed,
(23:00):
explaining that no modern grizzly bear should have the strength
or aggression to afflict this level of damage. He theorizes
that the culprit could be an evolutionary throwback, a prehistoric
bear species thought to be extinct, possibly some Latin word
for an ancient bear that stands over fifteen feet tall.
It's arctotis Simus look it up. Determined to prevent further deaths,
(23:25):
Kelly insists they close the park aka Like the Beaches
for Fourth of July and issue an emergency warning. However,
his request is met with bureaucratic resistance from his superior,
the superintendent, Charlie Kittridge. Kittridge is concerned about the park's
revenue and the public perception, and he refuses to shut
down the area, instead, opting for increased ranger patrols. Sound
(23:50):
her fucking familiar and then the bear strikes again. As
more campers flood the park unaware of the lurking danger,
the bear continues on its rampage. A young woman camping
near a river is attacked and killed in another savage encounter.
Her boyfriend, returning from gathering firewood, stumbles upon her half
eaten corpse and runs in terror hmm, maybe like a
(24:12):
half eating corpse found on the beach, only to be
swiftly killed by the beast as well. The attacks cause
panic amongst the park staff and people inside, and Kittridge
is forced to acknowledge that they are dealing with an
unusually aggressive bear. He reluctantly authorizes Kelly to track and
kill the bear, though he continues to resist shutting down
the park entirely. Kelly, Scott, and Don, a seasoned helicopter
(24:35):
pilot and Vietnam War veteran, sets out to hunt the grizzly.
They assemble a group of park rangers and local hunters,
though Scott warns that conventional hunting tactics may be useless
against such an intelligent and powerful animal. The hunt proves disastrous.
Several hunters are ambushing killed, with this one scene depicting
a man's body being hurled through the air as if
(24:57):
thrown by an unseen force. Another, stationed in the lookout
tower this was my favorite fucking part, is attacked in
one of the film's most memorable sequences. The grizzly, demonstrating
an almost supernatural level of intelligence intelligence, topples the tower,
sending the ranger plummeting to his death before tearing his
body apart. The hunt failing, Kittridge insists on a more
(25:20):
aggressive approach, bringing in additional hunters armed with high powered rifles. However,
their presence only exacerbates the problem, pushing the bear deeper
into the park. And making it harder to track. Oh,
this was fucking wild. I didn't think they were going
to go here. So the next death is when a
mother and her young son are picnicking in a secluded meadow.
The child is playing and wanders too far from his mother.
(25:43):
Before she could call him back, the bear charges out
of the trees and decapitates the child in a single swipe.
The mother, in horror, tries to flee, but she too
is killed. Didn't think they were going to go there,
but you know, they also did kill a kid in Jaws,
but this was like a toddler, and they were just
like cut us heet off. At last, Kelly and Don
(26:03):
take to the skies in the helicopter, using it to
track the bear. The aerial search leads them to a
hidden valley where the grizzly has made a layer. As
they descend, the massive bear emerges from the trees and
is hulk in a hulking form, towering over them. The
bear charges the helicopter, swiping at it with amazing strength. Kelly,
(26:24):
realizing that traditional weapons won't be enough, grabs a bazouka
and takes aim in a spectacular explosion. The missile strikes
the Grizzly, blowing it to pieces, and the beast is
finally killed. As the smoke clears, Kelly and don stare
at the burning remains of the grizzly. The park is
finally safe, but the coast of the cost of their
(26:46):
battle is very evident. Scott and countless victims lost to
the rampage of this bear, and the final shot lingers
on the wilderness, hinting that despite the destruction, the untamed
wild will always remain unpredictable. Ending.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
The only good thing about this movie is the fact
that they didn't make eight sequels. Maybe Oh, I didn't
even see that there was a sequel. I was just
looking for that before I made that comment.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
What's amazing is that it came out in twenty twenty
and it's called Grizzly Too. It has like a sub.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Thirty seven years in the making, Grizzly Too to Revenge.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
It looks like, oh my god, Charlie, Charlie Sheen, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
So is Laura Derm isn't it?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Wait? And George Cloton say, why is it?
Speaker 4 (27:30):
No? George Clooney is not in this?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
What the fuck? I'm literally clicking on images It says
Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Oh my god, you're right. I was just looking at
Google and it wasn't in there.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Thirty seven years in the making Grizzly too, So they
filmed this in the eighties and then did it.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Release the wonder it looks so awful. Yes, Oh my god,
the trailer is goofy as fuck.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Oh I gotta watch this. We might have to do
a bonus on this.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, my life, why did I say something?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Oh? Stop like you don't have fun? Okay, So that
is Grizzly and we are one thousand percent going to
watch Grizzly two eventually, but before we get into would
we survive? And some fun facts that I have about
Grizzly Bears Matt Yaanayer Sleigh fucking slay.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Really fuck this movie so fucking dumb.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I'm gonna yay it, of course, because I here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
This friendship I had to.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
You say, it lists on like a fucking daily basis,
and yet here we are almost closer to a decade
than away from it. You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (28:37):
You keep talking. I gotta figure out what the fuck
we find that we.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
First met seven years ago?
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Why do you know that so quickly.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Because this podcast is six years old. At least a year.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Oh my god, we've been doing this for six fucking years.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I think so. I think it came out in twenty eighteen.
Did I make that up?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
You talk? I'll do math.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
So I'm inaying it because if I find like some
semblance of enjoyment out of it, I can't like fully
neigh or slay something. This movie made me fucking laugh
the way that they film the bear. It's a normal
fucking grizzly or brown bear, but they literally just filmed
it and used props like fake bear arms and just
(29:19):
had it like standing on its hind legs, never near
really anybody, because it's a normal fucking size bear. There's
no fifteen feet fifteen foot bears. But before we get
into would we survive? I want to toss some bear
knowledge on yo as.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
The first episode of this was in September of twenty nineteen,
so god no, because the last time we talked about it,
just googled it and it was before the galactic NetCast
face or web page was gone, so that page just
popped up and now, holy shit, Damien to the Omen
has fifty one thousand views of your your episode, and
(29:59):
then there's the show has six.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
It's really funny how that works out.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
They're all like re uploads or some shit.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
But wow, popular, dude.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
No, I've been ridiculed far more on the Internet than
I have anything else I have.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Fuck the internet.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
So on your episode some reason, it's uploaded twice twenty
four views though, thanks, Hey, welcome.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
I do what I can. My popularity really just flooded
your show. They're not truly. The name grizzly bear comes
from the grizzled and grayish appearance of the fur, but
not all grizzly bears actually look grizzled. In some regions,
they are simply known as brown bears, as they are
a subspecies of a broader brown bear family.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Fuck bears, I realized. I watched the Frighteners for episode
fifty four of the podcast are I don't remember it.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
That was a lot of beers ago that.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Thank you, That's what I was gonna say. Finally, Booze
comes in handy continue there it is.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Despite their massive size, grizzly bears are incredibly flat fast.
They can reach speeds up to thirty five to forty
miles per hour just faster than Usain Bolt. Just so
you know, Grizzly bears have an estimated bite force of
around close to twelve hundred psi. It's stronger than a
lion with two times stronger than a lion and even
(31:16):
a great white shark. They both have a psi between
six twenty five and six fifty and their jaws can
easily crush bones. So bears are fucking beasts, and they're
one of my favorite animals because they're just so fascinating
to me. And I'll dive into that a little bit further,
but they scare the shit out of me. Grizzly bear
claws are much longer than black bear claws, measuring up
(31:37):
to four inches long. And that's why bear attacks are
pretty fucking gnarly. Like, if you just google bear attack,
you're gonna see someone with like half their fucking face
hanging off. It's disgusting. They have an incredible sense of smell.
They can detect food over twenty miles away. They are omnivores,
(31:59):
but they actually only mainly eat plants. About ninety percent
of their diet is vegetation. They can hibernate for five
to seven months. Their heart rate goes from fifty beats
to about eight to twelve when they're in hibernation, and
I fully wish that I could come back in my
next life as a bear to sleep half my life away,
because I would be a great They can swim very
(32:22):
long distances, so don't think that that's the way you're
going to get out of shit. Bears can swim very well.
They are very intelligent. They can exhibit problem solving skills,
memory retention, and even playful behavior. Some have been observed
using tools such as sticks to scratch themselves. They can
weigh between four and eight hundred pounds, but they have
been recorded to be up to twelve hundred pounds. This
(32:45):
one is a little bit of a sad fact. I mean,
unless you're completely petrified of bears. While grizzlies are thriving
in Alaska and parts of Canada, their population in the
US has dwindled to less than two thousand, and they
mostly stay in protected areas like yellow Stone and Glacier
National Park, which is fine. I don't want a grizzly
bear walking down the streets of my neighborhood, but I
(33:05):
want them to thrive, just like I want everybody to thrive.
So Matt, with all of that knowledge and the fact
that most bear attacks are defensive attacks, they think that
they need to defend themselves. They rarely hunt because if
they hear humans, they tend to kind of go away.
(33:26):
They're not looking for humans, but if they get the
taste of humans, then they want humans. They're not really
surprise attackers or scavenging attackers. If they're scavenging and attacking
you because they're starving. You have been in an area
where you shouldn't have been because bears are getting close
to hibernation and that's when they're very aggressive. But yeah,
so knowing that you really kind of have to be
(33:48):
in the wrong place at the wrong time, do you
think that you're surviving a bear attack? Like you're walking
in the woods with Judy, Sweet precious Judy. I'm trying
to give you more motivation to Oh, if it was you,
you just lay on the ground and play dead. But
if you have Judy, you're gonna like, we have to
save Judy with arms bottle.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
The world is a better place to Judy in it.
It's a tough one man. They're fast motherfuckers. I'm not fast.
I'm built for strength, not speed. That's a tough one.
If it's like I see it from a distance, it
hasn't seen me. I have the ability to get away.
I think I could do it. Judy's not a barker,
so I think we'd be safe. I would just have
to pick her up and then she would be very
(34:31):
uncomfortable with everything, and then we could get away. If
that bear sees me on toast end of story.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
It might see you and be like one of my
own and then just nuzzle your head.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
I'm not hairy enough.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I mean, if you're in your hoodie, the imagination could
go wild.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Yeah, and then before we know it, bears trying to
make sweet sweet bear loved in my.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Butthole, and then it's a then you make a hybrid baby,
and then there's like Matt Bear, Matt bear Man. Yeah.
I mean I think most of us would say that, like,
if a bear sees us, we're fucked. Have you ever
seen a bear in real life?
Speaker 4 (35:04):
No? And it's funny because I'm the old for sale
listing for the house behind us. One of the pictures
they included was a picture of a bear.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
A bear, a bear? Duh, bears excuse me?
Speaker 4 (35:16):
When I played D and D one of the girlfriend
of the guy who ran everything. She had the ability
to turn into a bear, and she would just get
really drunk and just go turn into a bear because
she's from the South. So yeah, everything sounded like fucking
sweet tea.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
There you go. I have seen a bear in real life,
but it was a black bear. It was on the
side of the.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Road, just like a good thing. I didn't ask you.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Yeah, well, I was gonna tell you anyway. You never
asked me. I always have to answer my own questions.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
I'm sorry. That makes me a really shitty friend, and
now I feel super bad about it. I apologize.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
It's okay, we'll work on it. Okay, you are one
of the most considerate people. I know. I'm fucking with you.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Sometimes I forget to ask people how they're doing and
shit like that, and it's not for any other reason
other than I just it just didn't come to mind.
I mean, I have seen a bear in a zoo,
and I understand that's not the question that you've asked.
And now I will let you tell your story.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Oh no, I mean it really isn't a crazy story.
I was stuck in traffic on some highway I think
I was in New York, like Upper New.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
York, and I just picture you in traffic and you
look over and there's just a fucking bear in the
car next to you, shaking its pot. Someone, No, your
story is the bear is on the side of the road.
I'm picturing a bear driving like a fucking.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
We should have left forty minutes ago, jan.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
It exactly, That's what I'm saying. Then there's a little
bear cub in the back screaming because he's got a pee.
The other one's asking if were there yet, So why
Harold the bear killed?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
His whole family were Jannon and cubs. But yeah, I
mean it was a black bear, and people were slowing
down even more so to look at it, and I'm like, guys,
it's just a fucking black bear. Just leave it alone.
It's not going to go in the road. It's probably petrified,
and it's gonna go right back into the fucking woods
and eat a fucking bird. I don't know, but yeah, man, bears,
bears or something. Have you ever heard of Timothy Treadwell.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
I don't know why I know that name, but I
know that name.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
It's grizzly man. Have you ever seen that documentary.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Uh, no, I know that he gets eaten, though someone
ruined the ending for me.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
No, I mean everybody knows that he died. It's free
on TV if you're a documentary boy and want.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
To fair enough, I do like documentaries. I'm not opposed
to this. I just uh, I don't know, man, I
like to laugh. Lately, I'm on a weird like rabbit
hole of going through these old podcasts hair episodes and
seeing who was on him, and like, I don't remember
who some of these people are. It's nice to see
that there is proof that I knew Annie Chang before
(37:42):
she was on the fucking TV show with John Cena.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
There you go, man, get her back.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
Wow. I think we're still Facebook friends. I don't know.
She may have unfriended me, and I wouldn't blame her.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Why you're lovely so grizzly man. I would advise watching
the document because it's a very good documentary. But Timothy
treadwill Well was a guy who was a bear advocate.
He would stay in a national park in Alaska and
just chill with bears for months at a time, right
before they went into hibernation. And his friends and like
(38:22):
the bear groups, advocate groups, advocacy groups which are needed.
I'm not saying they're not very much. Think that his
death was extremely tragic and shocking watching that documentary. He
had no business being there, He had no training to
be there, even if he was an out avid outdoorsman.
He was illegally in these areas and he died because
(38:45):
of his lack of preparation, and he got someone else
killed at the same time. So like he was savagely
murdered by a bear as well as his girlfriend. And
he was pretty insufferable in the documentary because he just
thought he was better than everybody and he's like there
are yeah, he's like these are my friend and I
just love him so much. Like that's how he talks.
(39:06):
And it gets a little bit much because you can
tell it's a bit like nobody normally just talks like that,
And uh, yeah, I feel obviously, I feel bad. Nobody
deserves to get mauled by a fucking bear. And there's
actually there's audio of the attack and it exists, but
(39:26):
it's never been released in the public. But you they
describe it.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
In I'm guessing you found it.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
No, no, you can't, because the person that has it
is his friend, and she either destroyed it or put
it in a safe and refuses to listen to it.
She's never listened to it. Werner Herzog, who did the documentary,
who's a pretty popular director. They film him while he's
listening to it, and he's visibly upset because like you're
(39:54):
listening to a person being ripped apart and streaming and dying.
I learned a lot watching that, and uh, it was
sure something. But yeah, I would die in a bear
attack very easily. I can't climb a tree. I have
no upper by strength, even though they can climb too.
I can't swim really well, and they're faster than me running,
(40:15):
So I'm fucking dead. And if a bear is coming
at me, I'm just going to run headfirst into a
fucking tree.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
So I'm a adrenaline You have to hope that adrenaline
helps you get up that fucking tree.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I think, honestly, I would become like a fucking ninja
if adrenaline fully pumped through my body, Like I'd be
like Parkour and be like hopping on tree tops Parkour, Parkour.
I got nothing, you win, thank you. There are a
couple of manoties. I'm gonna skip a lot of them
because we talked a lot and nobody cares. This film
(40:47):
became the most financially successful independent fill in nineteen seventy six,
earning thirty nine million dollars. We talked about that earlier,
breaking several records across the board. Halloween nineteen seventy eight
would break this record two years later, and I think
it held it for a pretty long time. Clause nineteen
seventy seven is an unrelated independent horror film about a
killer grizzly bear in Alaska, was re released in nineteen
(41:08):
seventy eight in Canada and Mexico as Grizzly Too. To
capitalize on the success of both this film and Jaws,
That Dirty Bastard. Grizzly Too came out in twenty twenty.
The film's casting crew and any and all extras and
bystanders were all forbidden to go anywhere near the Grizzly
Bear while it was being While the film was being made, obviously,
and this is going to be the last thought, the
(41:30):
last manuche on a Grizzly Filming for a sequel, Grizzly
Too Revenge started in the early eighties, but it was
never entirely completed. An original workprint of the film illegally
surfaced on the Internet in two thousand and seven. The
film was finally released to theaters and on home video
on January eighth, twenty twenty one, so even more recently,
even though it says, Grizzly to Revenge twenty twenty came
(41:52):
out in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Filmed in the eighties, I thought I saw that when
I was doing thirteen seconds of too much research on
that movie.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
It's gonna be my favorite movie all time.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
Of course it's because you're a piece of shit.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
Ooh Jesus, Well, that is nineteen seventy six Grizzly. That's
all the minutias I have, That's all the comments that
I have. Matt, you got anything anything else you want
to say.
Speaker 4 (42:17):
About Grizzly all I want this to be over.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
Okay, So yeah, that's gonna do it for Grizzly. Next
up will be Day of the Animals from nineteen seventy seven,
which kind of falls into the same exact kind of movie.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
I think.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
There's bears, fucking tigers, birds, there's a bunch of shits.
Stay of the animals. Who knows. I haven't seen it,
but that's what we're gonna watch next. Bye.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
Hey Cale, Yeah, Parker Lane came up and they handed, well, look,
get him back out there. Nobody sleeps until we get
that sound of a bitch.
Speaker 4 (42:55):
Hey, come on, Kelly, you can't.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
We got killer on our hands now, no excuses, please.
Speaker 5 (43:06):
Us assess the school, yish.
Speaker 4 (43:50):
School, elish school. J D
