Meet Troy. He’s a “Pain don’t hurt” sorta fella with a mullet, a raspberry beret, and a giant 150-pound suit designed to withstand an encounter with a grizzly bear. When a younger Troy stares down a grizzly bear and lives to tell the very lengthy tale, it launches him on a lifelong journey to once again face the beast, but this time without leaving anything to chance. To that end, Troy has spent a lot of his life and a lot of his money making a suit that is resistant to fire, arrows, shotguns, falling logs, and truck-mounted mattresses. You would think Troy is literally ready for bear, until you see him put on the suit and try to walk in it. Along the way we’ll ponder how many decades you lose in the American-Canadian cultural exchange rate, discuss which bear is the gateway bear, and “ride the thunder” as we engage in close quarter bear research. Despite Troy’s assertions, the one thing this story is not is erotic.  Featuring guest appearances by Ultraman, Patrick Swayze, and the worst Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.  We're suffering through and reporting back on Project Grizzly, available to stream on Amazon Prime.
