My friend had a horrific encounter with a Grizzlie. He thought he was about to be mauled so he prayed to God that the bear would be a Christian bear. It was then that the bear stopped, put it's paws together and then the bear prayed "Thanks Lord for this meal which I am about to receive"...

Not even gonna ask why Joe is so trained in making bear noises

Joe’s bear noises will never cease to absolutely kill me

I love Joe's absolute obsession with bears

this is the type of content that got me hooked on JRE back in the good ol'days

Joe loves a good bear story. 😂 He is fully involved and then has to mimic the sounds a bear would make adds a whole new level of value to the story. Lol, never gets old.

I can listen to Joe talk about bears for hours, especially his bear sounds

Guest: *tells story* Joe: "How much did it weigh"

A 13 minute story about a guy seeing a bear who left him alone.

3:49 😂 Joe has been waiting to do that growl in-person

JR: "We gotta wrap this up, but before we wrap it up, tell me again... how much did the bear weigh?"

Joe is so fascinated by the grizzly bear. He loves anything with true power

I love joe reacting to bear stories almost as much as joe loves hearing them

Seeing Joe make those bear noises is still fucking funny to me.

I was in the US Army with this dude from Alaska and had a legit bear claw scar across his face and his story was about 1/4 the length of this one and 10xs more interesting.

Heaviest recorded grizzly killed by a hunter in the wild was around 1,200lbs... Bart the Bear a tamed grizzly who appeared in movies weighed 1,779lbs. That's insane.

Joe would not let this man tell his story to save his life 😂

Joe rogans impression of a kettle throughout this episode was impeccable.

Joe geeking from bear story and actually turning for a second to a grizzly bear was funny to me lol

Farking LOVE Joe’s grizzly impression out of pure excitement!! 😂😂😂😂💚💚💚💚💚

Joe’s reactions have me hooked lol. The most reaction and shock I’ve seen by far on his shows. He’s so interested in grizzly bear encounters!

Joe probably tells great hunting bedtime stories to his kids.

i love how joe has such a fascination with grizzlies

Joes basically a human grizzly

My dad was a fisherman in remote Yakutat Alaska and we have a cabin 50 miles from the nearest town in the middle of the forest. I’ll never forget the only time I saw a mother grizzly bear and her 2 cubs, luckily we were on 4 wheelers but this bear stood on its back legs probably 8 feet’s tall and roared at us as we drove past our 2 4 wheelers getting about 10-15 feet away at the closest point. Nothing compares to these animals in the wild. Truly a monster of an animal but so beautiful to see in the wild if you don’t get to close.

I remember my grandpa telling me to stay close cuz bears and cougars would eat me first. I remember that hike like it was yesterday, a lesson for a lifetime. RIP Grandpa.

I encountered a huge grizzly with my Grandfather in the northern part of Wyoming we were about 300-400 feet away on a cliff in full camouflage watching this beast of a bear looking and sniffing around in a creek. And all of a sudden he looks in our direction up on the cliff and I mean body pointing directly at us which to me and my grandpa felt like he was staring right at us but we knew it was most likely checking it’s surroundings, examining the cliff whatever. All of a sudden the bear turns it’s head behind him, looks back at us and started SPRINTING towards our direction… we hopped in the Jeep so fast and booked it! We talk about it all the time and have a running joke like “I should’ve left you there” kind of thing 😂 I’ll never forget it

A neighbor of mine lost his wife in 2020,or 2021. In Saskatchewan, it was a black bear. They owned a cabin far north and were very bear and nature smart. She was outside with her 9 yr old son and sent him in for something, next thing a male black bear was attacking her. Husband had to shoot the bear twice to kill it. Unfortunately she didn't survive her injuries and also left behind a 2 yr old daughter

Joe was so disappointed when he said the bear walked off. LMAO

If i ever get attacked by a grizzly bear i hope i can find someone as enthusiastic about bears as Joe is to tell my story to.

There’s a stuffed bear in the airport in Smithers BC that was 1012 pounds. Wild story how it was caught as well. Took out 30 head of cattle, some as big as 1500 pounds, over a 3 year span. Took officers three years to capture him and they nearly died in the process.

Hahaha, Joe's surprisingly good bear noise caught me off guard.

We just going to ignore how good Joe is at making bear noises?! Tf 😂

3:51 I thought young Jamie popped in a griz sound effect 😂

As soon as he said grizzley bear joe looked at him happy as hell with that smirk 😂

I'd watch a 2 hour special of Joe Rogan not telling any jokes but real life animal stories with animal impressions interleaved

Joes Grizzly impression caught me 100% off guard 🤣

Listening to all the noises Joe makes in this one makes me already know that there’s gonna be another one of those funny ass edited videos that come from these podcasts😂

3:49 that bear effect 🤣😂🤣🤣

If your in the woods with friends play joes bear sound and watch everyone jump up out of there body 😂

Anything bear related on a JRE podcast you know its gonna be a good episode

That bear growling impression...that was pretty good Joe 😂

Joe is the only human being who would interrupt a guy with bear noises😂

Some of the best podcasts are these wild animal encounter stories by regular folks. keep em coming Joe.

Finally a new wild animal attack story that I can re watch a million times while I get violently high

What makes that encounter even more dangerous is that he was carrying a Taurus.

Joe really doesn't want anyone to outmatch his bear knowledge

"You really really prepare for the worst" *Goes into bear territory with a .44 and bear spray ...*

Joe's Grizzly Bear impression had me dying🤣

Nothing gets Joe's attention more then hearing I had a bear encounter.

Joe can’t help himself with his damn bear noise 😂😂😂

Joe Rogan is just the perfect interviewer. He knows when to just let the the guest talk, but he also knows when to talk and engage in the story to make it more exciting. People can talk shit about his political and other views, but one thing no one can deny is how damn good and perfect he is as a podcast host. Even just the different guests he picks. Jeebus Cripes, I love this man.

Let me save all of you 13 minutes of your precious time: he saw a grizzly bear!

When Joe gets to making Grizzly Bear noises you know it’s an excellent clip 😂

I worked for a guide service as a wrangler for elk hunts, just outside Yellowstone, in the Grand Tetons. One time I was quartering up an elk and Tandy, one of our pack mules, started dancing around all crazy and I went to walk over to see what the impatient bitches problem was.. then I looked in the direction she was looking in and just on top of the hill was a huge Griz sow and three near full grown cubs.. we all looked at each other for a second that felt like forever and then me and the guy I was with started yelling “hey bear fuck off, get your own!” And nothing happened. So we had to act, slowly walking towards them waving our arms and yelling. It takes a great deal to walk towards an animal that every part of you wants to run from. They decided to turn tail and run over the hill, needless to say we both had pistols drawn.. always pay attention to your pack animals and mounts.. Tandy smelled those bears before my dog did. @PowerfulJRE

I love watching JR talked about bears. He truly understands, and is in touch with, the primal.

Joe asking for more details to get freaked out with the same energy a creep would ask what clothes a girl's wearing on the phone 😂 Bears and hunting stories is just pure unfiltered JRE

Is it just me or was that the least eventful story of all time. Guy sees bear in woods.

Me and my brother were hiking Mount Yamnuska in Canmore, Alberta and on our way back down from the mountain, we got off the main trail and ended up coming down on a deer trail. I had a funny feeling in my gut so I had some lound music playing on my phone for noise as I didn't have anything else. As we came out of this one brush of trees into an open meadow, I look at this face with pitch black eyes just staring at me and to be honest, I just froze for a good couple of seconds as I couldn't believe that it was a grizzly about 80 ft. away from us. As I snapped back into my senses, i just lowered my gaze and we slowly backed off and as we were backing away, we noticed it was a mama bear with a cub so things could have turned real bad for us if anything went wrong. Definitely one of the scariest and unforgettable experiences of my life

Brown bears are NOT carnivores. They are omnivores

Joe turned this 90 second anticlimactic experience into a 14 minute video with all his interruptions!

0:05 That smirk from Joe once he knows a bear story is coming lmfao

He sounds so disappointed with his dad’s lack of equipment 😂

Man wtf I watched the whole episode to see the “full story” and it turns out nothing even happened 😭

13 minutes of suspense and expectation... but the dude only saw a bear and his ego telling the story is bigger than the bear itself. I want my 12 minutes back, please!

Hiking through the woods in the mountains of Montana is a beautiful and intense experience. Chances are you'll be fine and won't run into an aggressive animal, but knowing there's that chance does something extraordinary to your senses

JOE SECRETLY WANTS A 1 ON 1 BEAR HUNT. HE'S OBSESSED

Joe's sound effects have me crawling on the floor laughing 🤣

Joe you’re impression of a bear had me deadddd

Refreshing to hear anything other than Rittenhouse and politics.

I lived at Yellowstone at lake Yellowstone and saw many many grizzly bears up close. I’m from Connecticut and black bears are common in New England and let me say there is a massive difference.

The way joes voice gets quiet when he asks about the weight🤣

As a female hunter who was lucky enough to be born into a family of very avid outdoorsman, I can honestly say that crossing paths with a grizzly is my worst fear. I don’t have anywhere near the experience as my father or grandfather, and I don’t get to hunt as much as I want to, but I do have more experience than most people I know and I feel so incredibly lucky for that. I have been hunting with my dad and brother and grandpa many many times and the one thing we ALWAYS have on us other than our rifle and sidearm, is bear-spray. And my grandpa will always chastise us if our spray is anywhere other than on our hip in a very accessible place. Never let your guard down in bear country 🐻

I just KNOW Joe is dying to watch cocaine bear xd

The bear noise out of left field really fucked me up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

One thing I rarely hear people mention in bear encounter stories is how unbelievably bad bears in the wild smell. One guy said he shit his pants and it was nothing compared to how bad the bear smelled. He said it’s stink was overwhelming. Plus, shit your pants shit smells WAY worse, because it’s not ready to leave your body yet.

You just know, Joe can only get off thinking of Grizzlies..

That bear noise that Joe made was too good, I think he's been practicing that one

"At the expense of possibly making this story twice as long...". Lol he couldn't help himself. He had to ask 😂

idk why but joe growling like a bear at 3:51 has me deceased

Reminds me of a that time a lady with a chimpanzee asked me to kill her husband. True story

A bear walks by on a neighboring ridge... "I almost died"

When Joe just randomly hit that angry bear sound, while the other guy was mid conversation, that shit was just random as fuck and hilarious 😂

The hunters and their grizzly encounter stories are my favourite !! ❤️🔥🇨🇦

Something about hunting stories are more captivating than anything else.

LOL at Joe interrupting his guest by making bear noises.

"At the risk of making this a longer story..." = "Dude, get to the point."🤣

The story is actually not very interesting. A grizzly bear appeared about 80 yards in front of him when he expected to see an elk. It didn't interact with him in any way.

I went hunting for Bear with my Father and his guide. He used the same guide for many years and he was a family friend too. I’ll never forget the first time I saw a Grizzly Bear in the wild. You’re never armed well enough lol. I’ve only hunted Black Bear in Pennsylvania and out in the northwest states but I’ve seen Grizzlies. Truly a sight that makes you realize where we fit in the food chain. Those were the best trips I’ve ever been on with my Father.

That was the best bear noise I ever heard. The next time I get in a verbal argument, I am doing that noise.

That was a very good bear impression

I had an experience with a bear once, he asked me for my number in a bar then tried to mount me.

Joe gets all excited 😆

Joe’s grizzly growl is all I ever needed in life 😂 Thank you sir.

Joes grizzly sound effects was everything 😅

Joe makes the bear sound in wild Bear: I guess I'm going on a date tonight :)

Once while hiking down from Halfdome with my uncle, we ran into a mother black bear and her cubs coming towards us on a path. We were out of water so we were feelin the fatigue. Then we had to walk backwards probably about a half to 3/4s of a mile to get back to a fork in the trail that led to a rest stop. It was a weird section of trail where the ground became almost like sand. I was 13 at the time and it was one of the most insane experiences I can remember. It really was by the whim of that mother bear whether or not we went. Cause they got within 100 yards of us.

ngl Joe that damn growl got me hahahaha

Anyone: So I sat on the sofa... Joe: How heavy was the sofa?

I grew up hiking in the Appalachian mountains, from the time I could barely walk…used to love it so much that I started going alone when I got older … That is until I encountered a black bear (on the large side for a black) miles from anyone .. Only time in my life I’ve felt that vulnerable, like I could die if something decides on a whim to do the deed. Decided to never go alone again or without protection…and probably wouldn’t be caught dead in Grizzly country…that phobia is just too intense for me now.
