Bear Attack

Alrighty everyone! Let's talk Linkin Park!  Panda told us months ago he wanted to cover the legendary rock band and since all 3 of us love them, we agreed! Turns out, we can talk about Linkin Park for hours! Almost 4 of them. We cut that in half, but we ended up having to do this in two parts. So if you love LP too, here's our brief thoughts on EVERY SINGLE SONG they've done. Well, mostly eve...

Summer is just cranking along, isn't it? Come cool off with us in Atlantis! We recorded this episode really late at night after shooting an upcoming burger review. Which means: maximum delirium, minimum sensicalness! If you like Disney quotes and stories about obscure governors bringing obscure legends to pop culture, this is the episode you've been looking for! What myth should we talk about next...

Welcome to the Bear Attack Outfitters Travel Agency: please hold while the building melts. This episode is a riot! We mostly talk about interesting places to visit, but also we go bananas. I actually haven't listened to it since it was recorded, so I'm going to cut this short and go listen myself! :P --Blitz

Yeeha, mother-attackers! We're getting our folk on today! Now if you've been with us a while you probably know Polar Bear likes himself some pop-punk, metal-core, hip-hop, and country. Yep, he is the complete set, taste wise. So Panda and I (Blitz) took an overdue break from our metal heavy diets to review Flatland Calvary's sophomore effort. It's a good episode for sure. When we can focus for 5 m...

What is up, friend? We have an awesome legend for you this episode! We're talking about the almost mythical warriors who seemed more animal than man: the viking berserkers! Known for their unconventional, reckless tactics (like fighting without weapons or biting chucks out of their own shields), these men were probably insane in a literal sense. In fact, they're often regarded as villains by the v...

Oh goodness! We have an interesting miscellaneous episode about decency this week. Which is kind of funny because aside from the Hot Ones hot sauce episodes we've never sweared more (still PGish). We talk about taking care of other peoples' stuff, and respecting women. It might be a little controversial, but trust me: it's golden advice.  Hope you all are safe! If you want to talk to us, we'r...

Do like freaking Trivium?! Well then. . . this episode might be awkward.  We listened to their entire discography, minus bonus songs, and have ranked the albums and picked favorite songs. And we even like a few of them. So, you can listen to the episode, I don't have much to say.  What do you think about Trivium? Yell at us or agree with us on Instagram and Facebook. Major props to Panda...

Wow! Thank you, Attackers, for an awesome first year! We are honored to have you as a listener!  To celebrate we invited back Eddie-2-Gs and a new guest too, Miguel Alvarez! Like when we first started, this episode doesn't have a theme. We just converse and it's actually really funny. There's a stories about nipple piercings (we keep it PG-13), Polar Bear walking in on a couple getting frisky...

Happy 4/20, Attackers!  Well we're normally at a Killswitch Engage show this time a year (no correlation, it's just when they come out west), but obviously that's not possible right now. So why not talk about drugs? And why not talk about Nazis while we're at it?  This is a good one! It's all sorts of educational. Blitz has a wild story about the 90ish prescriptions Hitler was taking (ye...

WHO WILL DELIVER THE SENTENCE?! We will! (That line actually was playing as I typed this. Not planned!) New ABR is here to keep the Corona blues away! And Bear Attack is giving it a. . . mixed review? One of us loves it, one likes it well enough, the other just doesn't get it. The musician in our group wasn't so about it! Isn't that bull$#!T!!! Jk, love you Sam.  --Blitz Bear P.S. Hey what al...

Back in season 1 Polar Bear mentioned a myth that he was too scared to tell without his wife around. Well, for your listening pleasure, here it is! The goatman episode! Join us around the camp fire, under the star filled desert sky for a good old fashion scary story!  As always, leave thoughts, comments, and show ideas on our social media pages! Thanks, Attackers!   

It's the end of the world! There's no toilet paper, Charmin or otherwise. We can't go to school or work. It's like armageddon. Or Charmi-geddon! We might as well laugh about it!  Ride along with us in Panda's truck (IT'S A TRUCK EPISODE!!!) as we're joined by wife, teacher, and Bear Attack PR lady Amy "Clair Bear"! It's a good, old-fashion, rambling episode, full of laughs and stories. It's o...

What is up Attackers? Hope you're all safe and sound, and interested in telling stories! Whether you want to make a backyard movie, write a book, or a plot driven song, we dust off our Creative Media and Film degrees to give you a 101 class!   Polar Bear instructs us on what makes a story work, Panda weighs in on story through song, and Blitz Bear sprinkles in thoughts here and there. And we...

Do you like The Amity Affliction? We like The Amity Affliction! They're one of the podcast's favorite bands and in case you missed it, they just dropped a new album! Of course you can't talk Amity without mentioning depression, and all three of us know a thing or two about the struggle. Good news is, we have advice on how to cope.  Also, Polar Bear has a ghost story for you! It's one part cre...

Do you like pirates? Well then hoist the anchor, mate! On this nautical adventure we talk about a ghost ship used in the war of 1812, Pirates of the Caribbean (movies and ride), the sanitizing of history and pirate culture, and the album No Grave But the Sea by the pirate-metal legends known as Alestorm!  Did we leave anything out? Let's talk about it on Instagram and Facebook! Also here the...

Hey, do you like August Burns Red? Well we're gonna talk a lot about them!  This is our first artist spotlight and we decided to go through every album and list our top three favorite songs off it! In addition to being Blitz's all time favorite band, ABR got Blitz and Panda into metal as a whole. So they mean a lot to us! Unfortunately we recorded this before they officially announced their n...

Hi friend! We have a bit of a bittersweet episode this time around. Podcast friend and guest host Eddie 2Gs lost his father recently. So that's the bitter part. But in honor of Mark Golson, we want to talk about one of his favorite albums: Paranoid by Black Sabbath. Polar Bear also makes a strong return to form with some good old fashion legends just like back in season 1! And of course, we talk a...

Happy New Years, Attackers!  We are so stoked about season 2! This episode is a bit of a return to our very young roots; there isn't a unifying theme. But we do talk about our favorite gas station, our New Years resolutions, and some new things we plan on doing with music! Also, if you are a dog lover (and you should be) we chat a little about our dogs towards the end.  What should we ta...

Surprise! Here's a bonus episode for you! Season 2 starts 1/13/2020. Music by Epica. 

It's the end of the decade! 2019 as come and gone, but not our memories of it. For the last episode of our first season we are joined by two new guests: Clair Bear and Mr. Coon (Amy and Ben)! With them we reminisce about our favorite songs, albums, movies, and Bear Attack episodes of 2019.  It's good fun, so grab a cup of joe and join us!  What were your favorite things of 2019? Hit us u...

Holy holly, it's the holidays! Of course we're attacking the topic of Christmas from no less than 3 angles. Polar talks about the real person who Santa Claus is based on, Saint Nicolas. It's an awesome story containing dowries, goats, and sailors. And Russian grandmas For some reason. Panda Bear gives us the low down on Christmas in his family, including the time his grandma served them cooki...

Yo, happy December!  Winter has come, and with it: sorter titles for our podcast. We're trying out doing themes for every episode to keep things more concise. Fret not if you enjoy the variety of Bear Attack; we still find all sorts of tangents. In this episode we cover everything from the sport Curling to hot tubing in snow storms to almost being killed by Zambonis to bathroom acoustics!&nbs...

Oh boy. . . You may have heard of Hot Ones, the show with hot questions and even hotter wings. Well we did that. And we were humbled.   Our video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D0zPXFCZ5s&t=7s Hot Ones: https://www.youtube.com/user/FirstWeFeast

Hey, Friend! This week, Blitz talks about a band that uses saliva as guitar lube. Totally unrelated: we also talk about our parents giving us "the talk", showering, and environmental conservation. Polar is now a dragonologist. He can now answer any dragon questions you have! Find us on Facebook, Instagram, and BearAttackPodcast@gmail.com. https://www.facebook.com/BearAttackShow/ https://www.i...

Our dear friends: it's October, it's episode 13, let's talk Halloween! We talk about the origins of Halloween, The Legend of the Headless Horseman, and pretty disturbing true story about H.H. Holmes Murder Castle. There's all sorts of shenanigans as usual. Panda Bear may or may not have had a seizure playing 5 Nights at Freddy's. I (Blitz Bear) don't have a whole lot to say about it other than gra...
