I live in The 406….this bear stuff is not unusual. Cougars in the yard are not unlikely either…but you probably wouldn’t see them. Don’t even get me started on the TOWN deer--We have rattlesnakes & bison on the lose as well. If you’re lookin to move out west try Oregon! You can visit MT but do like the bear & head back on back home. ✌️
Meanwhile the bears is like: ”Hey I had the wierdest night. I found this cave full off food but there was some giant obnoxious naked rats in there. I swear I’m not making this up!”
Traveled from Bismarck, ND to Seattle every summer as a kid and as an adult traveled from Spokane, WA to Bismarck often. Montana is like 75% of the drive lols
Any chance you could find the segments where they would into a grocery store and start making fun of the products. It would then be interrupted by this big red stamp with a jingle that went "Oh no, we're gonna get sued"
Dave could tell a story like no one else. Like a Norm Macdonald or a Howard Stern on the radio. Just suck you in and make it funny and true and poignant.
But David told the truly Unhappy Story about This Bear Story…The same bear continued to break into other homes, and the Park Rangers had to step in, and capture the Bear…and put him down. They were afraid ..since the Bear lost its fear of humans, that he would hurt someone.
So where was the dog when all this excitement was going on? Maybe he didn’t want to deal with a bear so early in the morning. Also, that bear was just doing what Goldilocks did. If she did it, so can he. Besides, all that food he ate was a whole lot better than some mushy porridge. 😁
I was sleeping in my car one night with my dog and I felt my car shake and look out and it’s a bear climbing on top of my trunk. I turn to my dog and ask him hey, what gives? He turned around and gave the lamest little bark and went back to sleep.
Dave's got a helluva view from his porch.
That was my thought too. A multi-million dollar view.
It’s fake like the one behind his desk.
3:15 Dave: "I mean, he had something in mind." Paul: "Porridge?" That hilarious interjection by Paul seemed mostly missed and under-appreciated.
I thought the same thing.
I concur with your sentiment 100%♡
Australia
The best segments in Dave's late career where always his stories from the desk. As a pure raconteur he had no rivals.
Jean Shepherd was pretty good too.
Almost any Dave story - always a classic. Miss him being always around. What a craftsman of the word.
Probably my favorite Dave story. The picture was priceless.
I’m sure the other bears enjoyed the bear’s side of the story too.
I'd be pretty stoked about meeting Letterman too. Let alone have an all you can eat breakfast at his house!
And that is how you tell a story
I love it. In Montana a Marine called a high school kid for help.
Born in MT. That’s how we roll in the 406. Bet the kid wasn’t even phased.
he’s so good at telling stories and keeping you wanting more. not many can do that. it’s very simple but difficult to emulate.
For ambiance… classic!
This is why I think Dave is better than Johnny in the end. Johnny couldn't hold an audience captive like this behind the desk. Only Dave could do it.
After that bear sized breakfast I'm surprised he didn't leave Dave a big present on the floor before he left.
Paul is criminally underrated. So so funny. His little active listening sounds and comments are hilarious.
I had forgotten about this. One of the greatest stories ever! 😂
7:40 "Somebody toucha my spaghet"
His "IDing the bird story" (turns out to be his retirement announcement) was another beautifully done one. I know I am preaching to the choir here ;-)
Love Dave, miss him
YAY! Thanks for uploading this, I remember watching this live and being on the edge of my seat!
One of the greatest of all time!

More like this!! Just random awesome bits!
what a beautiful view
Still had his RCA 77 microphone.
Wait, the dog's bowl?? Where was it all this time?
Took one look at the bear and decided That's above my paygrade.
Right? Where were the dogs?
Probably at home with Dave's wife and son in Connecticut.
@@halamander1112 Of course how silly of me.
OMG glad you got pictures . Glad you did not poke him with a big stick he might have got pissed off. GREAT Stuff good
job Dave.
That is incredible! Holy cow😂😂😅🌸
So great.
love dave

Not the only animal to make themselves at home at Dave's house
Bear would have been good-eating. Should have called a butcher.
Gotta love small town Montana. Who do you call for help with a bear in your house? A retired Marine and a high school kid with explosives.
I'm a teacher and a student just mentioned she lives in Montana. Had to share this story with her.
I remember when this was animated with Paul in a phonebooth as Dave relays the story, anyone else remember that?
Pepperidge Farm Remembers
Naw dawg show me
@@louspowels7120 🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Thank you!!😂😂😂
As long as we are doing fan requests..can you do the airport show, the hotel show and the too tired/hot to do a show shows?
Cake! Frosting! Beef Jerky! Sounds like that bear did Dave a favour.
This has to have inspired the episode of The Simpsons where Springfield introduced the Bear Tax 🐻
LET THE BEARS PAY THE BEAR TAX, I PAY THE HOMER TAX!
Very good. Only the one necessary edit. Thanks.

The story was a "Reverse 'Goldie Locks'" story.
Beyond hysterical!
We do not have bears in Australia; however we have many animals that will kill you.
Look at that, It's the real life Ponderosa
two in one.....a subject for entertaining the audience and also sponsorship
Great story! I have a feeling The Donz helped work on this video. More like this one!
Nope, no input at all. :)
@@dongiller shucks! 🤣
The bear got bad directions . He was looking for Dave BETTERMAN'S house . Free snacks were included in the invitation. 🐻🥩🍰🍩🤷♂️ ?
Bears are usually death machines. Be careful out there, gang!
Muscled death machines indeed. Death causing juggernauts. Masters of death. Death traps for arms. I agree, gangs ought to be careful.
Except it was a black bear. They are not violent, as bears go.
The bear didn't actually look too big. Maybe it wasn't fully mature.
The quote I've heard on this goes "black bears rarely attack... but then, sometimes they do"
Bear caught here boss.
This story is the reason why I want to migrate to the US and live in Montana.
The bear told his friends "It's a great place to eat, but awful for sleeping, the owner kept me awake and called me an animal." 🐻
Direct quote from his review on BearB&B
Without an explanation for why he didn't just call the cops and/or animal control, this story makes absolutely no sense.
He's David Letterman, I'm sure he wanted to be as isolated as possible and did not want the word to get out of his property location .
If we’re taking fan requests can we get Psychic Sandwich or some Know Your Current Events? 😂
What a view
Why the hell did Dave have lacrosse balls??
also when first homesteading the area they would use animals to find the location on the planes to build houses
sorry for being dumb, what is an “M80(?)”?
loud angry firework its half a stick of dynamite
I hope he left with some alka seltzer

they took over the kitchen because the bears were eating better than them
But David told the truly Unhappy Story about This Bear Story…The same bear continued to break into other homes, and the Park Rangers had to step in, and capture the Bear…and put him down. They were afraid ..since the Bear lost its fear of humans, that he would hurt someone.

Dave was in the bears house
Looks like a Black Bear, not a Grizzly. Wish Dave had not retired.

Alaska is the widest state- not Montana.
Good that damn bear found something else to eat and did not found Dave yummy 😋)
Not a #GrizzlyBear. #BlackBear
I know Dave had writers and good ones at that, but he never really needed them. (Like every late night guy after)

Liar
Let's Go Brandon!
Funny, another Let’s go Brandon story.
