It sounds like the bear was high...in openness to experience, but low in conscientiousness. But also just really, really high.
😂
😂💀💀
Damn bear still owes me money.
Jajaajajajaja
Well played
Thanks to Dr. Grande, I haven't lost my bearings. His short story about a bear that couldn't bear to say no before bearing its teeth into bags of cocaine and barely swallowing them before suffering unbearable consequences sadly leaves the bear being its own pallbearer. Here's a well deserved bear hug for Dr. Grande! 🐻❤️🌵💕👏🌵🐻
Smmmmmooooothhhhh
Your puns are the polar opposite of good.
I'll give you credit for the pallbearer tie in. Well played.
“…a bear that couldn’t bare to say no” by this she meant that the bear couldn’t be any more naked 😂
@@robbpowell194 Without a saddle.
I found your analysis of this topic as intriguing as a black bear undergoing psychoanalysis to overcome his cocain addiction, eventually discovering he has feelings for his mother he was not aware of. Thank you very much for your content.
The 10 original Care Bears consist of Bedtime Bear, Birthday Bear (replaced by Cocaine Bear in 1986), Cheer Bear, Friend Bear, Funshine Bear, Good Luck Bear, Grumpy Bear, Love-a-Lot Bear, Tenderheart Bear, and Wish Bear. Later on, additional bears joined them, as well as the Cousins.
Love this comment 😊✨✨💕
Who knew?? Thank you for sharing , " share Bear"!!
@@carolnahigian9518 LOL 😆
Wow. Mine was blue and he had a rainbow and cloud on his chest! Was he bedtime bear do you reckon?!!
@@hannahriley8085 Bedtime Bear has a star and crescent (symbol of Islam) on his chest, so it can't be him. Bashful Heart Bear has a cloud and rainbow. Officially he's turquoise green, but there also seem to be blue versions, and turquoise can look bluish anyway. So it's probably him.
That poor bear 🐻. Thanks for adequately telling the story. It’s infuriating that some greedy dumb asses caused the innocent creatures death. It’s a shame that you Andrew was not prosecuted and put away before he engaged in his reckless behavior
I will not watch animal abuse
@@katiekarakondis3348 - Me neither. Nor would I tolerate it. But ... Who gives a sh*t about a bear that OD'd all the wayyyyy back in 1985?
@@katiekarakondis3348what about snakes on a plane ? 🐍
Just say no to drugs
The bit about "killing a German Shepherd with his bear hands" sounded fucked up too.
“…there was one obstacle he could not overcome…gravity”
Brilliant! Dr Grande you are hysterical.
🤣
Working in healthcare , that gravity line is one I use very often...
He sure sounded like an extremely self absorbed, narcissistic egomaniac & sociopath who was completely disconnected from reality.
At least the story has a good ending though & he eventually came back down to earth.
The entire time listening to this story, I just felt so bad for the bear.
Me too😥
Same 😢 poor thing
And he probably didn't like the taste of it.
And the German shepherd 😢
Wondering how his parents (described as wealthy, successful, and socially prominent) handled this unbearable child and his unbearable life? ! And how did he escape real punishment for all those crimes he committed? 6 months incarceration seems to be quite bearable for someone planning to welcome the Apocalypse! Thank you, Dr Grande, for another fascinating story!!❤
Sometimes rich parents can be the problem, they create little monsters by overly spoiling them and telling them they're better and above everyone else, that can lead to narcissism.
Glad you're covering this. I avoided reading it elsewhere due to the title. Your take is always best🐻🌛 Thanks Dr G 😊💕💕
,
Zena. - Exactly what I did! I was hoping for the good doctor's non- diagnosis. He always comes through! 🐻🐻🐻
@@bthomson Glad you feel the same, he does come thru yes😊
Good evening Dr Grande, besides being paranoid Andrew was delusional. I feel sorry for the Cocaine Bear. The movie sounds more like a retelling of Cujo. Great analysis, as always I learn from your videos.
You covered this story so well Dr. G! I've heard other people exaggerate this story unbelievably, so it's refreshing to hear you tell an accurate version. That poor bear must've been terrified right before he died😥 I enjoyed your use of the bear homonym in your final thoughts.. Chef's kiss😗👌
Thank you for bear caring. Namaste.
🐻🐻❄🧸RIP
@@wintercame I don't know if I can take it
Hi Dr. Grande. I want to see this movie. Thanks for explaining the full story as well. Peace, love to you & Mrs. G, Janine Smiley 😏🙂😀😉😇🆒️💯❕❗☕🍩☕🎂🌹🌺🌷💜❣
I did enjoy the film, even though yes it is a highly exaggerated and fictionalized version of the real story.
But at least it’s not being advertised as true and factual like A Million Little Pieces.
I miss the 5 factor model. I remember it by the acronym OCEAN.
The poor darn bear. He was the true victim in this story 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
I used to skydive with Drew in the 1970s. At the time he was in law school at night. We were driving to Berea, Kentucky to jump at the time because our plane was not available and that is where Drew was jumping. He was fun to have around and he told us stories about busting people and then smoking their pot in front of them. When I saw the report of his death I called every skydiver I knew until I got confirmation that it was “our” Drew. Oh my, I never expected him to do all of these things. I think he wasn’t able to get to his reserve parachute after a main malfunction. I was at UT-Knoxville when I knew Drew and I never saw him after graduating.
Any truth to rumors that an air crash of a sky diving Caravan was linked to Drew? Was the co-pilot of the drug plane the pilot of the Caravan?
@@michaelcanty4940 I am not sure but, that is what I heard. The story was that he was bringing in cocaine for a cartel and wanted to rip off the cartel and “die” or disappear. The plane that crashed with a load of skydivers was thought to have been caused by the cartel in retaliation. This is just rumor from people who knew him when I did.
This movie has an utter ly ursinine plot
I have to give you major kudos for keeping a straight face through all this.
I'm sure Dr G has lost it a time or many during his videos.
Bearable content as always dr Grande! 🐻
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The film really should be named, "Cokey the Bear".
“Only _YOU_ can prevent septum deviation!” - Cokey the Bear
@@itsalwayssunnyinpahoa7631 LMFAO
I’ve known about this story for years. The bear’s name is Pablo Escobear.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 💀
A bit like Conky? Trailer Park?
"Only speculating on what could happen in a situation like this" 😆
The brilliance of your analysis and humor is always something I delight in when I get back on the grid.
Lol, your dry humor had me in stitches
Again!
I wish i had a psychiater with your type of humor.
A bit of laughter during a serious conversation makes that it feels like one has some what of a humane connection which helps me a lot with opening up and works so good against that stress that comes with talking about for example trauma.
I am Dutch , i hope that my English is not too bad.
Thanks Doc for another interesting vid, greetings from the Netherlands and i wish you a fantastic monday!
I hope you have a great Tuesday
@@janefrost1856 Thank you very much and i hope you have an awesome day too.
08:08 cracked me up.
a redemption movie would have been called cocaine andrew 😄
Dr. Grande, if there was an Award for Dry Humor, you'd be the winner hands down. I really enjoy it along with your logical
views on all phenomenon on Earth. 👍
Hello Dr Grande..... always so nice to see you. One thing you do that means so much is that you go into the background of the person to whom you are analyzing. This man was a very busy guy. I always wondered how he died . Thank you for answering my questions. You are truly a great teller of tales and give great analalysis. Thank you again ❤️🇺🇸
Ohhh, your ending statements had me choking on laughter! The illegal honey to support its habit was priceless!
I knew a couple of pilots who imported coke in large quantities. One had been a successful musician who passed from leukemia, the other I only knew as a “golfer”. I was seeing a TBI agent at the time, & he ended up getting valuable information to take the guy down.
Are you saying you gave information about your friends to your TBI boyfriend? Really? Choose your friends carefully, folks.
I think TBI is really FBI. Although this woman sounds as if she had a traumatic brain injury.
Me too! I’m dying, lol.
@@mrs.kravitz
I was working at a hotel, making over $100 in tips. My ex would come around and demand money for an eightball. He’d sit there begging, and got me into trouble. So I’d give him $350, then come home to find 4-5 men around the kitchen table, with over half of it gone. I got tired of this going on all summer. We had 3 kids, & I got mad. So I turned him in.
@@tommygoode9644
TBI is Tennessee Bureau of investigation
Poor Bear! 🐻💔
People are going on and on about the bear. I wonder why the bear would possibly ingest cocaine?
@@lynnehuff9659 I'm sure if it's hungry enough it would try just about anything. Sad but true.
The Bluegrass Conspiracy by Sally Denton is a very good book about Andrew Thornton and his drug dealing as well as the cocaine bear. The bear is currently displayed at a Lexington business. (I had my picture taken with said bear.)
His analyses barely scratches the surface, but sometimes the whole truth is too much to bear.
@@gen-xboomer9489 🤣👍🏼
Thanks for the video, I couldn’t bear to wait any longer 👍🏼
Entertaining, informative and thought provoking. Your videos always itch my brain in the right spots!
"They should have featured the Bear struggle to break the cocaine addiction" Gem of an advice 😉Loved the humor!
The bear falls back ol into the habit, his friend find him dancing for money on the street. It's sad.
Thanks Dr. Grande! I love your sarcastic wit here~ you “bearly” even smiled when you made your suggestions on how to improve the plot line.
Love your final thoughts on this case, Dr. Grande. You never disappoint.
Happy Monday and I hope you have a fantastic week ahead.❤
Dr Grande, I really look forward to your videos - interesting, funny, dry, considered and very entertaining !!
Great content as always Dr Grande! I can't help but feel sorry for that poor 🐻
Fabulous use of the variations of the word Bear. I do listen and learn but your humour is precisely on my own wavelength
I love your talks! And this one was especially entertaining!
"Illegally importing honey to trade for cocaine..." Lol, your deadpan humor is textbook!
Love your upload schedule I get back from work and it's just been uploaded, also videos as concise as ever
Could you please do a video on Howard Hughes? He was very complex. I have always been fascinated whit his story. Love your work. Thanks for all your hard work.
That would be an interesting analysis.
I believe he already did.
Yes he did one, you can find it easily with a search
The poor bear ❤
Outstanding as usual! I'm generally left with a sore side from uncontrollable laughter during each of your videos.
Thank You
Please do a critique of the film Tar, with Cate Blanchett. I found it a profound film referencing art, artists, music, psychology and philosophy. Your channel is great, fun and educational in the best way.
I'm always looking for a great movie.. thanks for suggestion, sounds up my alley , though I know you were recommending fir Dr. G
Excellent as always. Thanks Dr Grande for an amusing nightcap!
I can't bear it, I had to smile listening to Dr. G in this one ☺️
Dr. Grande, you are funny as heck!! Iearn AND laugh at the same time. You're awesome bro keep it up just like that. it's perfect.
Thanks Dr Grande, I feel like I have my bearings on the whole situation.
Dr. Grande has one of the best RUclips channels ever. 👏
can you do an analysis of the person that asked you to do an analysis of cocaine bear?
🤔😐😅🤣😹
I started to listen to your videos a year ago for the crime or the analyze. But more and more I enjoy them for your dry humor!😂
thank you for your content!
Thank you Dr. G you killed it once again.
Well done. Drop the mic after that last line “cross to bear”. You never disappoint Dr. Grande
Yasss! Just what I needed! Bed can wait ❤
You are cracking me UP in this video!!😂. But I do truly appreciate your concern for the REAL bear.
I enjoy your perspectives.
Nice info
Andrew is an Type A personality characterized by a constant feeling of working against the clock and a strong sense of competitiveness.
Plus coke can give a rush if it's not tatar.
Besides that bear's addiction and lenghts to get that fix resonates. It's hard to quit !
It's called 'chasing the dragon' as each new hit/smoke-up time is an attempt to get the high/buzz as of the first time 😀😃😁
The bear was drawn to the sweet floral smell of all that Columbian Bam Bam.
Bears can smell the sweet nectar of one flowering shrub from 1 mile away. That amount of cocaine was like a friggin entire nursery to the bear. Once it opened those bags, it loved the tart (super sweet) taste of the devil's dandruff.
Eating cocaine as just like orally ingesting any drug, it takes at least 20 minutes to be digested into the blood stream to feel the effects. Eating the amount of cocaine this bear ate would've caused it to uncontrollably vomit & poop long before the drug psychoactive effects kicked in & then as soon as all those chemicals hit his cereal nervous system, the bear would've replaced it's uncontrollable vomiting & pooping with uncontrollable seizures which could've lasted as long as 1/2 hour until his heart valves eventually blew up.
@@flaccidego4291 weird
Your deadpan humor is what I needed lol
New favourite Dr. G analysis 😂😂
I love the puns and other word play Dr Grande weaves into his delivery. Especially the 'dad joke' caliber ones.
Love your humor!
Genius as always, Doctor
I never have contemplated the mix of paranoia and excitement about what makes one paranoid at the same time. It does make sense in this break down of your analysis. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Omgoodness that's something. I was scrolling through movies the other night And came across this one. All I could do was laugh at the title and The trailer. I haven't seen it yet but now I feel I have to. Thank you for your analysis. Great as always.
Thank you Dr. Grande. Your humor was at peak in this video. I don't regret that I won't be watching this movie. I'm not a fan of hollywood, nor it's stars anymore. Have a great week!
Saw this movie yesterday and I was a bit perturbed by the way the bear was portrayed. The poor bear never atacked or killed anybody and died of the drug overdose. The poor thing weighed 175 lbs. Also I was devastated to find out that I weigh almost as much as a black bear. It wasn't a pleasant experience.
Eta apparently the bear weighed 150 lbs. It's official. I am 8 lbs heavier than a black bear😭😭😭😭😭
Eta I just found out that female bears range 90 to 175 lbs, so this bear wasn't even a cub. I weigh nearly the same as an adult female Black bear.
As was said though, it’s not meant to be a biographical account of what happened. It’s meant to be an exaggerated and fictional account.
I did enjoy the film, sure it’s silly and ridiculous at times but that’s the type of film it is.
It’s different than portraying something as true when it isn’t. For example, the 2003 book “A Million Little Pieces” by James Frey was sold as a memoir (fully factual) but in 2006 it was discovered that Frey embellished and exaggerated parts of the book. So they could no longer call it a memoir, just fiction .
I always love when we get these episodes with stories that are, well.. different 😂. The south park/ Megan and Harry stories, as well as this episode, have been some of my favorite ones.
It's bearly pawsible fur sure.
I've never heard of this guy before now & that makes me happy
That bears spirit is STILL running amid those verdent plains, eyes wide with terror, numbned muzzle dripping and high AF. Paranormal crews are looking into it.
Andrews obstacle wasnt gravity, it was the entire planet
After watching (and enjoying) this channel for around a dozen episodes I cannot figure out if Dr. Grande is relating news and information or his sole intent is to make dry humorous videos in comedy format. If the latter, our Dr Todd takes the cake for unique dead pan style.
Dr. Grande subtle sarcasm is the best
Today on NPR…🤣
Goodness we need this on a Monday!
LOL "what could be happening in a situation like this." One of the most wild situations Dr. Grande as ever covered.
Todd.. your best yet . Applause.
I lived in Lexington, KY, during the 70s, and 80s. I worked for a place called Gulls Police Equipment.
The Lexington police were crazy about gadgets
Always interesting, especially when I can relate.
Thank you
Peace 💕🇺🇲
You mean Gall's as in Galls Catalog? I worked in EMS and Galls catalog had everything for all First Responders. This is before the internet when we had to order out of the catalog in the 90s. 🙂
Galls was raised by Federal agents in 2004 for possible sales of prohibited items to Middle Eastern and other countries. No charges seem to have followed.
Fascinating, ties right in
Dr.G you are the man!
I see we have some Feng Shui going on in the back, Doc. I took a little break, I come back, and your studio changed. 1 thing I always check, AFTER clocking your shirt;)
In the early 2000s there was an aggressive bear in Germany that kept interfering with human life. He went into hotel kitchens mostly, but just generally was too close to civilisation and quite aggressive. They caught him and brought him hundreds of kilometres away multiple times to get him back into the forest but he always returned to around the same area and caused havoc. In the end he was shot and killed. Surprisingly he wasn’t the only bear causing havoc in Europe, two of his siblings also were killed because of the same reasons, one in Switzerland. All the bear siblings that were born to one mother within a wild life project showed heightened aggression. Who knows, maybe the momma bear also ate cocaine during pregnancy.
Love your humor, Dr. Grande!😂🤣
That "Miami Jockey Club" card was gonna do a lot for him
Haha.. This is funny. One of Dr. Grande's funnier video analyses.
Hello 👋 good Dr. Grande :)😀
It sucks that bear died the way it did, but damn. There was probably a 5 minute window before he died where he was the most dangerous apex predator on any continent 😳
I think what the director meant to say was "revenge fantasy" movie. I think she was inspired by the director Quentin Tarantino.
How did this guy keep getting away with so much? Crashing to the earth was too good for him.
Just yesterday I learned of this from my neighborhood theater but the movie wouldn't begin for 90 minutes so I went home. Now I find our good doctor analyzing the very same story and am glad I didn't see Hollywood's version first. HOWEVER Dr. Grande, this is the one time I wish you would analyze someone and make it the bear! Would make a great spoof show and give you a chance to fully unleash your hilariously charming sense of humor. 🐻 🤓Let's start with talking about the first picnic basket you stole that had edible brownies and how that became a gateway to cocaine...
You are one of the few people I've ever heard, describing the USA Dominican intervention of 1965 as what it truly was; an invasion. You have my respect. Thank you, Dr. Grande! You just got a new Dominican follower.❤️🇩🇴
... Gravity! Hahahahahah, I'm dying! You're hilarious, as aslways.
Ripping good yarn. Dr. Grande at Yuk Yuk's FTW!
Great job xxxxxxxxxx
Animals are such victims of humans, then exploited. Thank you Dr Grande
When I came across the preview for this movie, and realized it was a true story, I told myself I had to see it. It’s one of those movies like Velocipastor. You read the title, and right from the get-go, you know what you’re getting into. There’s no false claims or promises. The title tells you, there’s something wrong with you if you choose to go see it and think it’s dumb. Accept it’s going to be corny as hell and very tongue in cheek, and you’ll enjoy yourself.
No idea how dr grande stays so on top of his game, so relevant. His videos are the same, you know you’ll be getting quality facts that are as up to date as possible. Truly an attention to detail!
It’s really a shame he’s just a figment of my imagination and this is all a simulation created by shape-shifting lizard people 👁👁
Them lizards are shifty , I tell you what. Thanks for the laugh.😃
@@NowIsee123 I’ve got your back, us crazies gotta stick together! 🤪
Love that you gave the bears perspective. Sad for the bear....agree, not humorous.
Hey Dr Grande, if you read these please do a video on Angelyne the billboard queen of Hollywood. Just watched the series and they reveal who she was before. Quite a piece of work that woman.
We're glad to see Dr Grande being more thoroughly consistent with his own content. God bless him and his career.
Not you again 😭
Is the movie bearable to watch? A beary thorough and fascinating analysis Dr. Grande! 🐻
It’s pretty crazy and off the wall, but it’s entertaining nonetheless
It is a dark comedy
I cannot tell you how confused I was the first time I saw the preview for that movie.
His actual life story would’ve been much more interesting than the fictional story they ended up with.
Thank you Dr. Grande. This man became cartoonish and there is humor there for sure. But many people forget to recognize the senseless, misery, suffering, and death of a magnificent and innocent animal. Of course you did not. That's why you are my favorite.
Hi Dr Grande How are you?
Hey Dr. Grande, thanks for the analysis. Andrew sounds like my kind of guy, bulletproof vest, Gucci loafers AAANND CCCCCCOCAINE BEARS!!!! Thank again!!! 😃😃👍💯
