[SIBA]

this one is a special story. the way 3 different stories, seemingly unrelated, come together is amazing!

[travisferguson]

Lol I love how MrBallen humanized the bear. "He found the duffle bag and didn't know if it had food in it but he was optimistic!"

[orbyfied]

Respect for MrBallen for sitting down with the bear and listening to his story

[mr.hanger]

I've worn hearing aids since the fifth grade. Pretty much everything I watch has to have subtitles turned on. Mr. Ballen's voice hits me at a wavelength that enables me to enjoy the fantastic stories without struggling through subtitles. Very refreshing and much appreciated. THANKS!

[hsiehman]

For like, 5 minutes, that bear was the most dangerous, powerful, and probably the most confident and talkative predator on the planet.

I’d pay a hefty admission fee to come and listen to Mr. Ballen tell a story around a campfire live. Heck I’d even pay admission to see his flannel collection

[mermaid_at_heart]

RIP Pablo EskoBear. What a life you lived!
EDIT: Holy crap! I can't believe that I got so many likes and comments. Yes, the bear is named this, as it is stated on the plaque around his neck. I love bad puns and thought it was humorous and clever. He seemed like a very curious bear, so I imagined him going on lots of zany adventures, even before the cocaine. What a crazy way to go. I can think of worse ways.

[santaeduvigis]

The way John even talks about what the bear did on his daily bear routine and makes it seem so real with specificities has me cackling.

[Random-dftt]

RIP Mr Bear, you truly was the highest in the room.

[chrilpy]

Thank you Mr Ballen for telling the story from the bear’s perspective. It wasn’t just a victim but a real bear. May it Rest In Peace 💔🐻

[thematt]

The bear found a meal so good, he didn't feel hungry for the rest of his life.

[S.Bianchi]

Only Mr Ballen could tell a story with many plot points, time jumps, and people, and still have it make sense, all the while keeping you intrigued

[michaelburke]

I love how he talks from the perspective of the Bear 🤣 classic Mr Ballen 👌🏻

[bethanymfoote]

Love how you described the bears cocaine trip after he ate it. Also when he was optimistic that there was food in that bag.
Love Mr.Ballen!

[laurenf.]

I like how he describes the bear’s side of the story like he knows what the bear was thinking 😂

[andrewowens]

For a brief moment, that bear lived harder than any other being in the history of the universe

[illuma]

"Pablo EskoBear" gave me the giggles 😆
But poor bear though! Thank you for another captivating storytime, Mr. Ballen! 🤍

[Josh_Mason]

You know his children has the most kickass bedtime story telling dad ever 😂

[Blitzkrieg]

Awww...I truly feel sorry for the poor bear. At least he had a fun run before his demise! Thanks, Mr. B! Your story telling is top notch!

[austindupre]

That bear was briefly the most dangerous apex predator on the planet
