Because I've been bearded, people have been calling me Grizzly Adams for years. But I never saw the show or knew anything about it until today. Thanks to your informative conversation, I feel like I now know when people call me Grizzly Adams, it's because I have a beard... Although I guess I already knew that 🤔

Good song tho 💙

Another rib-splitting segment. Kevvy and I were really into GA as younguns. But we also, probably high as fuck, wrote and recorded a song called "The Orangutan Age" on 4-track in our early 20s. It mostly dealt with Clyde from "Every Which Way But loose," who we believed was the same Orangutan in a killer episode of "Chips," but we devoted part of a verse to BJ and the Bear. The Bear was actually a chimp, but for some reason we got obsessed with monkeys in film that day, regardless of the species. Lou, I love how you nailed GA theme song in its entirety. Never heard the full version because they always edit that stuff down. Anyway, thank you, and ciao!☠️❤️

Of the two, I would say that Lou looks like he has the chops to survive in the wilderness. He could hunt, outsmart his foe and whittle a ukulele from driftwood. Grizzly Adams looks like he would panic if he went more than three days without a visit to the hair salon.

Oh, and I forgot there's a Mon Chi Chi reference in the Orangutan Age. Starting to get overwhelmed with the beauty of monkey involvement in 70s culture.
