Summary

On this episode of Bear Grease, most of the regulars, Clay, Misty, Josh, Gary, and Isaac, gather at the Bear Grease Global Headquarters to discuss the great and enigmatic leader of the Pan-Indian Confederacy Movement, Tecumseh. But not before the crew, who is joined by James Brandenburg, Chair of the Arkansas chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, talk about the upcoming second annual Black Bear Bonanza which will take place March 4th from 9am to 5pm and feature, among other things, an owl hoot contest MC'ed by our very own Brent Reaves and judged by Clay Newcomb. Misty then dives into talking about her first duck hunt, before the outfit jumps back into discussing perhaps one of the most underrated, forgotten, and earliest American Folkheros - of whom was said "If it were not for the vicinity of the United States, he would perhaps be the founder of an empire that would rival in glory Mexico or Peru." We really doubt you're gonna want to miss this one...

0:35.7	designed to be as rugged as the places we explore.
0:43.8	What's your favorite type of mananza? Mine's when it's like all yellow, no brown spots, no greens, either.
0:50.7	The favorite mananza? Yeah, I don't even know what that means. Like the type of fruit?
0:55.2	It sounds like he's describing a mananza. Banana. Oh, that was like a joke. That was like
1:01.2	one of those kids like Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe. Yeah, because bananas and banana are
1:06.7	spelled close together. Yeah, they sound similar. I don't think it's an English joke as much as just like a bad joke.
1:11.0	Like a bad, maybe bad joke, even. I think it's a bad joke. Yeah, I think a bad bad joke.
1:16.2	I eat a lot of brown bananas because it takes two seconds for a guy to eat a brown one that's like

1:46.2	See, he would prefer, I mean, he went to the store or did it like, did it just shift that way
1:51.9	because of the moral stand? Oh, 100%. But I'm saying if he went to Walmart and there was like brown

2:01.3	going to eat those brown ones and you're going to love it. Yeah, because not everybody gets something
