0:00 I could have sworn they fried reindeers or something dude reindeers horses Colleen can you confirm yeah I ride nieces all the time okay really really you shoot one you shoot one we're eating for forever [Music] so the National Park Service has encouraged folks to never push a slower friend down during bear encounters how often does this happen this happens a lot Oh you mean like to make a sacrifice like push him well so you ever come across a bear right yeah and then it's like hey your friend is being slower like don't push the slower friend down like as a joke oh why would that be a joke in front of a bear they're gonna get eaten anyways right yeah they're pretty slow yeah yeah and don't remain

0:50 friends afterwards that that is an option well are we supposed to be slow and run with them slow down like are we supposed to encourage I mean I don't get what don't you get it makes total sense to everyone else what are we supposed to do it's just like just remain just remain I'm gone keep the same Pace okay I'll be out of there yeah but am I supposed to like go back are you faster than the bear do you know how fast bears go they're pretty fast they're off are they they could climb yeah they can climb oh see that's where that's where they get me yeah I'm probably faster than them and bears can hover for at least a couple seconds but you know what though people don't talk about this yeah with bears you just run zigzags they can't follow that is that right unless have you ever I thought that was a gunman that's both guns Bears coyotes up the bear they

1:41 don't know how to zigzag I'm running I'm going yeah but don't do that double move okay is that a snake snakes will follow you yeah they'll follow you they're like this is helping me get faster yeah snake straight line I thought you're supposed to go toward a bear when you see one you're like ████ you gotta go towards it and then you yeah yeah yeah if you have a basketball you think basketball just dribble around it's a broken bare ankles yeah yeah yeah so something that happens that actually happens in life that the National Park Service is kind of making a joke out of is when you're in a moment with a bear you have a tendency of fight or flight and some people have been known to just shove their friend to the ground to like wow get away that's ████ up wow what kind of what that's not fight or flight that's like that's

2:31 like sacrifice yeah sacrifice yeah yeah sacrifice yeah human sucker what do you even call that that's the next level dude because there's a fight there's flights and then there's I think that's a form of flight it's like a yeah it's like a sub category yeah yeah it's like a knife it's a sneaky piece of ████ yeah they probably accidentally sprayed themselves but the weird thing is if they're telling you to not do that that means there's a lot of people that do it but also I don't think that would stop someone from doing that yeah if they had it in their heart but they they didn't they need an alternative is there any alternative to that um don't be the slower friend yup see so that's why I'm like or do you travel in a group of Threes where Aces make sure the third one is even better they don't like big

3:21 creatures so you gotta learn how to do a pyramid real quick stack on the shoulder cheerleading classes yeah so when there's you you chill in the party at three and then when you see the bear you have them jump on your ████ shoulder and you go and then the bear goes what the ████ but what about the girls at the bottom of the pyramid because that's that's probably the skin I mean her face is history she gets clawed up I'm on the top you don't need to do the pyramid just get if there's only two people just go shoulders and then just get the big red roll yeah yeah I would like to rent a car please you do one of those you asked the bear I am over age how much bird hotel room hello Avis you guys hike with bear mace or anything like that is that what bear mace yeah when you bear spray Tyson do you go to Bear Meats

4:12 like what's Bear mates to me you get freaked out to me I'm like odd why do you need bear mace like you shouldn't be able to just defend yourself already yeah like I know karate I don't need bear mates that's what I'm pulling you don't keep beer yeah oh open guard all day isn't it is it a thing to keep bear mates for use against people because it's stronger than just regular clothes do dangerous too dangerous yeah is it too dangerous it is right it's too dangerous I've seen them I've seen a bear cub it was about this big right here oh ████ off the ground on the table no that's oh a big difference baby or to the ground yeah it's big yeah so the mama was close by so we were

5:03 walking up I parked and we were walking up uh this road that leads into a hiking uh path and then there were three cars lined up in the ████ baby bear was just on top of the car just crushing the ████ out of the hood damn ████ eating berries or whatever the ████ he was doing there was a ranger just like making sure that nobody got close yeah so they're like oh yeah just keep going the mom's probably close by so just be careful yeah that's the worst mom might be tell the mom to take care of her coffee take your ████ kid you know because I would send a trend their way yeah I mean I get we're in their space and you know but nah you better get your ████ boys I'm about to light this ████ up yeah straight up I'll burn my own car somebody get your kids yeah okay I just imagine being the hiker coming back and

5:53 then you see your whole Hood crushed and you're like what happened hey you know what's another animal that people don't talk about that are also very dangerous or moose bro what's a moose what's the plural is that for real yeah but we don't have moose down here no but there was a video in Alaska there's lady walking they're huge and I guess the the POV is from the car and she's yelling at the lady who's walking like yo get out the way there's a moose and it's giant the moon starts running down the sidewalk and it sticks this chick and just dips what did she do talking ████ probably that's what I'm saying she pushed herself down to the ground she's like ████ this doesn't work what are you gonna do here's the ████ boost there's no me it's just you you coward yeah yeah and he's like I'm pretty big actually you're

8:25 have a sense of humor and that makes me want to go to park exactly I feel like during covid so many people that never been Outdoors started going out because there was a huge Trend dude we did it there was there's been so many people getting like ████ up hiking oh yeah well there are people that go out that really should just read first and then yeah you can get attacked by wild animals yeah they're hungry all the time they can just kill a they're not gonna never not be hungry they're friendly though I watch cartoons and they just seem nice and jolly yeah but even Winnie the Pooh sometimes when he don't have his honey brother gets Scrappy every year too a hiker gets or like a jogger gets attacked by a mountain lion here yep every ████ year yeah a mountain lion and there's always some ████ who

9:15 gets lost it was like I'm going hiking I'll be right back and then they're ████ you know eight days later they find a skeleton [Laughter] around around this time last year our our friend's dad Mike's song's Dad ████ got lost yeah in the woods oh he made it he made it he wasn't a skeleton dog he was out there for like three days in like the snow we thought we thought he would be dead five days

10:05 away from being turned into a skeleton that's lucky but he made a fire and ████ man versus well you know you know who doesn't make a fire who people get turned into the skeletons yeah the seventh day they got a little too curious for their own good yeah they are too cute yeah dude I mean just imagine like stepped on the wrong time click is there a monkey holding definitely not the pentate man I wonder if that ████ happens in Hawaii where people go in the jungle and then they get lost and they can't come back and they die because I'm like dude it's not that far have you heard about that I mean it's it's mountains to the Sea so there's antes getting bitten by monk seals in the water it's true attack oh ████ amongst those ████ you up like

10:55 that oh I'll show you a video oh ████ and they when they bite they bite with anger like unprovoked they'll just start well she had her her cub on the beach or somewhere around in the water yeah I saw one where a lady was just swimming uh this was in Oahu recently yeah and then the ████ seal bitter and everyone's like you idiot you deserved it but I guess from her view she didn't know well she went over the ropes and the signs that said they got signs everywhere everywhere cause I know that I know like I get it if you get drowned or whatever right but then when you're in the jungle and like you can see ████ Waikiki you see the towers and ████ and I'm like how you get lost yeah yeah well sometimes people like visitors come and they stat they

11:45 near the ocean they go to places that I'm just like what more visually could you see from that vantage point just trying to put myself there that you can't see from right here yeah you can't it says it doesn't never make sense and then they get swept out I'm like yeah oh I think that they're just not thinking you're just watching for sure oh no for sure I don't even yell anymore before I used to yell then I got in trouble really yes I said that's what I thought someone got farther farther yeah yeah what do they say what will happen mind your business they just so it's like all right yeah wow the day after I proposed to Nikki we went to these Cliffs with like Kardashian ████ and it was super boring kind of but then but when we got there it was super cool this is Hawaii yeah it took like 45 minutes to get there her dad's like taking back roads he's like show us a lot of Scenic ████ and I'm like whatever bro what

12:35 island it was on uh Waikiki okay and then um so we get to these Cliffs and then like there's like ████ water ████ like going like 30 feet over the thing like hitting the Rocks going through everything and I was just like yeah I just got engaged I'm ████ I just want to go the other way I want to live my life right now yeah it's scary yeah it's different because like growing up in La we have beaches yeah I've grew up going to the ████ beaches out here and then once you go to Hawaii it's a whole different kind of feeling yeah the from winter to summer it's a different kind of feeling and I'm just like what the ████ is this wave dude I never felt anything like this before oh yeah it's weird yeah I hear it's like knee-deep you know what I mean yeah we're not worried about it yeah yeah dude and it just crashes and you can swim out there the the scariest

13:25 thing is a Riptide maybe but that thing's a homeless guy on the beach we're stepping on a needle in an or HIV HIV needles kind of sock it's not all bad though it's all bad you should move to Vegas sometimes the needle has to cure [Music]
