Get ready while telling bear storyfrom @jessoliviafox

[01]

Overview

The creator begins by delivering a strong verbal hook about bears breaking into her car while sitting on her kitchen counter. She then introduces herself and the video's concept: getting ready while telling a story. As she puts on pants, a shirt, socks, shoes, a belt, and a bandana, she narrates the humorous anecdote of moving to a new area, leaving food in her unlocked car, and having bears get inside. She concludes the story, shows off her completed outfit with a jacket and bag, interacts with her dogs, and ends with a call-to-action for viewers to comment.

    Get Ready And Talk About Stuff

Transcript

So two bears broke into my car. That's not an opening to a bad joke. It's just my life. Hi. I'm Jess. I'm 42, and I dress however I want and show you that you can too, but I also like to talk about stuff. So let's get ready and talk about stuff. So as many of you know, I recently moved, which which is why I have the new background, which I love. But I don't love that bears broke into my car. I don't really know what else to say. So I moved to an area where there are a lot of bears. I I know what bears do. I've camped. I've I've been in the woods. I didn't realize the bears here could actually open your car doors and help themselves to what's inside. So when I moved, I had a couple bags of old pantry items. In the midst of moving, I said, I can leave those in my car. Wrong. It's fine. You're wrong. I can bring that stuff in in a couple days. It's pantry items. It's shelf stable. It's not bear stable though, turns out. So the second night I'm here, I hear my roommate say, hey. Did you leave your car door open? I said, no. I don't think so. And I ran to the room. By the way, I had, enjoyed a little bit of gardening before bad, so I was quite high at this point. The neighbors are outside yelling about something, and they're in their car. And my roommate and I are both very confused. So I run downstairs to open the front door to see what the commotion is. I just hear the neighbors scream, better. And so then so I shut the door really fast. You know? Apparently, I had forgotten to lock my door. So the bears ever so gently helped themselves to the pantry items that were in my car. They were so polite about it. So once the bears left, I ran outside to close my doors and to pick up all the food items. To which I did have a moment where I said, I'm outside picking up a bunch of food items and bears just left. Baby, this isn't the best idea I've ever had at 10PM high as a kite. So I quickly finished picking up as many items as I good, locked my car door, went inside. Proceeded to call everybody that I knew to make fun of myself. My roommate said to me, he said, don't you know about what bears do? You're from Oregon, you go camping. And I said, the bears just kinda skipped Oregon. Are there bears in Oregon? Yes. But I go camping all the time in Oregon. There's been so many times I've left the cooler out. It's just not as much of a problem. They just tier just like skipped Oregon and went to Montana and Canada. The bears here are very smart. They can get into your car and they can also get into your house. So no I make sure to lock the door every night no that bears don't come into the house and lock my car door every night and no more food in the car which is gonna be hard for me because I'm a snack queen. I love to snack in my car. That's like my favorite, like a little treat to snack in my car. But not anymore. Maybe it'll cure me. Couldn't really assess much of the damage the night of no I went out the next morning. They literally opened the front door and the back passenger door. Tonks. Excuse me, ma'am. I'm trying to work. The only thing, not a scratch, not a best, other than grubby little paw marks on the handles. So I do consider myself pretty lucky considering Do tier cherries on my hat? Coordinated. You stay here. To finish the look off. Alright. So there's the outfit. Let me know if you like it. Also, let me know what I should talk about in the next video. I just had to tell you the better story.
