Alright, so the question has come to this after my snapping of the bear situation last night, which by the way, thank you so much uh to uh Heather who said, please tell me you have this on your camera. Would love to see this.

SPEAKER_01 0:14

So I can't believe you didn't think about this sooner. Why didn't either? I didn't either.

SPEAKER_00 0:18

But you can see I must have pulled out of my driveway three, four times last night, had a bear, Melissa just walked in, had a bear decide to root through the garbage last night. Not the first time in West Almyra. So I snapped and I uh almost took the bear out with my car last night because I pulled right up to it. And I'm I actually at one point hit the horn, then the bear took off. So my question has come to this: can I shoot Roman candles from my deck at the bear when it's going through the garbage? Is that illegal or is it just enough, you know, you hear the bang! And it scares them. That's that's what I want to know. I don't want to kill the bear. It's not my I mean, I don't need like the DEC coming over. I'm gonna play They only take out squirrels.

SPEAKER_01 0:58

I'm gonna play the audio.

SPEAKER_00 0:59

Now anybody catch the humor in that? What?

SPEAKER_01 1:02

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 1:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:03

I'm gonna play the audio from Scott's camera.

SPEAKER_00 1:06

This is one of the videos. By the way, I was an hour off. It was 10.30 last night. This was going on.

SPEAKER_01 1:11

And it's it's so humorous. I wish that hold on. Let me just play this really quick. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:17

It's my car backing out.

SPEAKER_01 1:18

Uh-huh. You don't have a hybrid?

SPEAKER_00 1:20

Yes. It's my UFO.

SPEAKER_01 1:24

That's exactly why I asked. I'm like, wait a second. This sounds so weird. Oh, here he comes. You already see the bear running away. Yeah. Alright, I'm gonna upload this on our social.

SPEAKER_00 1:40

10 30 at night last night. Scott's crazed. I wake up the neighborhood. I thought it was like 9 30. It was 10:30. I'm sorry to everybody that I woke up.

SPEAKER_01 1:48

I do like the fact that you were being polite enough to just give a quick beep. It wasn't it wasn't a do you know?

SPEAKER_00 1:56

I mean, this you live right over the border in PA. This sounds like the most PA thing. Uh getting Roman candles and uh shooting it at a bear to to uh um I don't know the legality of it.

SPEAKER_02 2:08

However, when my sister and I had an apartment in Elmira, we shot bottle rockets off of our bottle rockets.

SPEAKER_00 2:15

That's not Roman candles, bottle rockets.

SPEAKER_02 2:18

That is not any time that the cops showed up at our apartment. So I feel like you should be okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

All right, bottle rockets. I what was I showing?

SPEAKER_02 2:26

Surely this time of year. Yeah, yeah. Just blame it on the neighborhood kids down the block.

SPEAKER_00 2:30

Oh, we're celebrating America's 250th every night that the bear shows up.

SPEAKER_01 2:34

It's a it's a bear brawl. So here's something that Shelly said. Scott, you need to get a bullhorn.

SPEAKER_00 2:40

Oh, I'm sure. I don't know that that's a wise man.

SPEAKER_01 2:42

No, he doesn't.

SPEAKER_02 2:43

He is the last person on this planet that needs that.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

One where you can talk, play siren noises, or whistle. An ex-boss of mine used to have one, and every now and then he would get the staff's attention with it. It would scare the crap out of you. Oh, yeah, I can imagine. I probably shouldn't tell you this, but we do have one.

SPEAKER_00 2:59

Oh, look at you.

SPEAKER_01 3:01

Brandon said all that's gonna happen is that the bear will probably get pissed off if you hit it. Then that won't be good.

SPEAKER_00 3:07

I'm up in the air on a deck. What's it gonna do?

SPEAKER_01 3:09

Or you're in a car because I'm just about to post this video. Hold on a second.

SPEAKER_00 3:17

I didn't know that. I forgot these were all closed air.

SPEAKER_01 3:20

All right, there we go.

SPEAKER_00 3:21

Back it up.

SPEAKER_01 3:22

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 3:26

Tiffany really wants this paintball gun. She just texted it again.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

And you see the loser. You see the bear running. Yeah, we definitely gotta post this. But it's weird because like it even you got close and it didn't do anything. It wasn't until you made that noise, is when the bear went away.

SPEAKER_00 3:48

No, I pulled right up in front of it and it looked at me like, what are you doing? Yeah. I'm like, do you realize if I didn't hit the brakes, you'd be dead right now?

SPEAKER_01 3:55

I know. Which I was like. A little surprised that you didn't. But then were you afraid that it was gonna climb on your car and then shake your car box?

SPEAKER_00 4:03

No, then I gotta deal with the cops coming over at 10 30 at night, and then I'm like, yeah, I got ticked off at the bear and I lost it, and I sort of hit it.

SPEAKER_01 4:10

That's not what you say. You go, oops, I was pulling in my driveway. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 4:14

That's a good answer. Right. I mean, that's such an amateur.

SPEAKER_00 4:18

Well, she is turning professional criminal. There's a litany of things that have been going on that we don't talk about.

SPEAKER_01 4:24

Oh, stop. Oh, stop. Oh, you I do.
