Call it what It Is with Jessica.
Camilla Ludington
Capshaw and Camille Ludington and iHeartRadio podcast. Well, hello, hello, hello, hello, Call it crew. And welcome to another episode of Call it what It Is. Just the three of us. Matt's here today.
Matt
Hey, guys.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah.
Matt
Hi, Jess.
Camilla Ludington
We've never done three of us. No. We've never throupled.
Matt
No. No.
Camilla Ludington
I love a thruffle.
Matt
Very comfortable already.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is. So. So you're probably wondering why, you know, why is Matt the guest today? And I would say that our lives were sort of turned upside down this week.
Matt
They were, they were. I was rushed in here for this last minute.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah. It was sort of an emergency.
Matt
Crazy 48 hours.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah. Do you wanna. Do you wanna tell. Jess already knows the stories Because I've been. No, but I kind of.
Jessica Capshaw
I mean, honestly.
Matt
No, Just knows your version of the story.
Camilla Ludington
No, the whole. Here we go already.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. I think it's gonna be like this.
Camilla Ludington
I've told just aside with me on everything.
Jessica Capshaw
And by the way, I'm not going to listen to her. Matt, If I'm going to be very. I'm like, I'm. I'm almost like a. I'm a therapist slash mediator. Like, I'm just here. I'm here to just listen.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
And give you my thoughts and reflections.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
And my response is not my reactions.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah. So why don't you tell. Jess has a story, but everyone else does not. So know the story. So tell us how the massive event that happened in our lives this week.
Matt
Well, little did I know that it was going to become such a massive event.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah.
Matt
And I had no idea you'd want me to come talk about it on the pod.
Camilla Ludington
Well, it makes sense.
Matt
Two days ago.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah. Yeah.
Matt
One of our dogs was barking extremely loud at 5 o' clock in the morning. And I checked the ring cameras to find out what the ruckus was all.
Camilla Ludington
About because we get some. You know, we get the odd little.
Matt
Knickknack, like a little squirrel or an occasional raccoon.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah.
Matt
Um, I checked the ring camera and there is a bear in our backyard.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah.
Matt
And I. I wasn't sure if it was real or not because it's completely unheard of.
Camilla Ludington
It's so crazy. Yep.
Matt
And so I watched it again and then I see a bear wandering around in our backyard.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah.
Matt
And then.
Camilla Ludington
How big?
Matt
Like a mama bear? Like a. Like a circus bear size.
Camilla Ludington
A circus bear?
WashablesOfSas Advertiser
Really?
Matt
Like, that's.
Camilla Ludington
I'm sorry, are you from 1950? There's no bears in the circus anymore, Dude.
Matt
When I said circus bear, did you know what size?
Camilla Ludington
No, I didn't. I'm sorry. I don't know.
Matt
It's a large bear, Jessica.
Jessica Capshaw
The average bear, I would assume that a circus bear was around 5, 10.
Camilla Ludington
5, 10? Like, in height.
Matt
That's exactly the size of the bear we saw.
Camilla Ludington
So sorry, I didn't realize that Jess was a circus bear expert, but go on.
Matt
So there was a circus bear in our yard.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah.
Matt
I zoom in. I watched the video a couple times because it's crazy. Maybe a bobcat once in a while, but never a bear.
Camilla Ludington
And then what did you.
Matt
So I zoom in, and in the background, there's three little cubs climbing in to our yard behind the mama.
Camilla Ludington
Yes.
WashablesOfSas Advertiser
Three.
Camilla Ludington
Like Goldilocks on the three bears. I've named her Goldilocks. We've since learned her name.
Matt
And since then, the last 48 hour, we. 48 hours, we have learned so much about this particular bear family.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah. But there's also been a little bit of discourse in our home. Jesse, Here we go. Here we go. Honestly.
Matt
Okay. Here we go. Jess, I'll tell you. No, I'll tell you what happened.
Camilla Ludington
I'll tell you first. Okay. So he saw that, and he showed me the video, and I said, oh, my God. That's often the time that I walk out the front door. And our bet, it's actually like, you could. You could access where the bears were from the front door.
Matt
Okay, yes, the bear could access Camilla's car from where it was standing. That is a true statement. But that's what Camilla jumped to rather than the amazement of this bear in our yard.
Camilla Ludington
No, that's not even true, Jessica. I did not say, I'm worried about the bear taking my car for a ride. What I said was that is. That is.
Jessica Capshaw
You were worried that you were gonna happen upon this bear for an early morning call and that you were gonna get attacked by the bear.
Camilla Ludington
Yes.
Matt
Yeah. But she thought it was gonna be like. Like a. Like a cocaine bear situation where we just raced at her from the other side of the yard. And. And she felt from that morning on that she needed an entire, like, escort. Escort. Security guard detail. Detail for the Camilla.
Jessica Capshaw
The commute from the front door to the car.
Matt
So that's where you have.
Camilla Ludington
So annoying.
Matt
That's where the drama came from is because.
Camilla Ludington
Take a pause.
Matt
Pausing.
Camilla Ludington
I said, the first part of this conversation, Jessica, is I said, wow, that is the time that I leave for work. Obviously, that's their snack time. Right. And they've come to find some snacks. Now, if they come back, because they're like, we love this yard. If I'm leaving at 5am what do I do? And will you be a snack? Exactly. And what did you say? You said just.
Matt
I really can't remember, to be honest.
Camilla Ludington
Okay, I'll tell you what you said, but I think.
Jessica Capshaw
Let him talk.
Matt
Said something like what did? Try, don't worry about it.
Camilla Ludington
No, it's not what you said.
Matt
Just they're not.
Camilla Ludington
No, you said, why don't you go out and just have a peek to see if they're there.
Matt
No, I said peek through the door to see if there's a bear before you go to your car is what I said, which is a logical response.
Jessica Capshaw
But do you have a peephole in your door?
Camilla Ludington
It wouldn't give me enough of the peripheral. I'd need.
Matt
Jessica, we have windows in a house.
Camilla Ludington
Right?
Jessica Capshaw
Okay, Right, right, right.
Camilla Ludington
Honestly, he said, just go out and peek. Just have a little. Why don't I just at 5am round the corner, see if there's a bear there or not? What am I gonna do? Honestly, if I round the corner and there is the bears there with the three babies? Which by the way, puts them in basically cocaine bear mode. Because they're in protection.
Matt
That's true.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. Huh.
Camilla Ludington
What do you think of that advice, Jess?
Matt
I just said, look before you get in your car or go outside at 5 o' clock in the morning, seems logical.
Camilla Ludington
Does it? If when there's a predator out there.
Jessica Capshaw
Like a therapist, literally, like you really are, I mean, you know, I have follow up questions that might not really be, like, I don't know, that we need. I mean, what do I say often, Camilla, do you want to be right or do you want to get it right?
Camilla Ludington
Like, I mean, obviously I'm both in this situation. So then I said to him, right.
Matt
You know where she's.
Camilla Ludington
I have a question, Camilla.
Jessica Capshaw
What would have been a better. What would have been a better thing.
Camilla Ludington
For him to say, first off, baby, I love you. I understand your concerns. It makes perfect. That is the time that you often leave for work. And I'm going to. What I. Which is what I forced him to do. I'm gonna go to Home Depot and I'm gonna get together.
Matt
Jessica, she sent me to Home Depot.
Camilla Ludington
And I'm gonna get together some sort of protection for the family.
Matt
Do you know what they have at Home Depot to fight against bears? Nothing.
Jessica Capshaw
I was gonna say it's not legal in California. Bear spray.
Matt
They had, they had.
Camilla Ludington
What do they have. So I did send a dog.
Matt
I'll tell you what they had.
Camilla Ludington
And I said, don't tell me what you've got. And I'm going to hear the plan on the pod. So let's hear it. What'd you get?
Matt
Okay, I came home with a plethora of things.
Camilla Ludington
What is it?
Matt
I came up with some things that would add height to our fences. You know, to deter a bear. Just add a couple feet of fence.
Jessica Capshaw
Did you ask Chat before you went or did you really just like. Like you were improvising, like you went to Home Depot and you're like, yeah.
Camilla Ludington
Well, I don't think it's going to be deterred by 2ft of extra fence.
Matt
Okay, so I got the extra fence. Then they had some stuff that was like, keep critters out of your yard.
Camilla Ludington
It's a critter.
Matt
Hang on, baby.
Camilla Ludington
It's not a bug.
Matt
That's all they had. But they have small critters, medium sized critters.
Camilla Ludington
Do they have bear critters?
Matt
Large critters. I found the large critter thing.
Camilla Ludington
What is it?
Matt
But they showed pictures of animals on there.
Camilla Ludington
Was there a bear?
Matt
No, they didn't.
Jessica Capshaw
But again, you didn't ask anyone.
Matt
There was a dog. So I didn't want to deter dogs from our yard because we have four of them. So you've come up with.
Camilla Ludington
You came back with more fence.
Matt
I came up with that. I got you a bear horn. Oh, yeah, it's on a keychain too. So she can.
Camilla Ludington
Oh, my God.
Matt
Okay with her. In case there's a bear any time of day, she has a horn.
Camilla Ludington
And what does it do? I just blast it in its ear holes.
Matt
It just scares you.
Jessica Capshaw
My thing, just grab it by the snout.
Camilla Ludington
Can I tell you how this conversation really went? I said, you need to go to Home Depot. And so then he said, okay, I'm gonna go to Home Depot. I'm gonna get sand was the first thing he listed. I said to build it a playground.
Matt
No, wait a minute, wait a minute. In a previous conversation, she had told me that in our kids sandbox I needed to add more sand.
Camilla Ludington
That was from like a multi.
Matt
I was multitasking with the Home Depot trip.
Jessica Capshaw
He had a Home Depot list.
Matt
I do think I wasn't going to build it a sand castle.
Camilla Ludington
Okay, well, unlike Matt, because I care about protecting our family, I did some bare research and I have since found out that of course bears, they're attracted to food. Now, did they go on the side where our trash cans were. No, Jessica. They went over the side where somebody started a vegetable garden, AKA a bear buffet.
Matt
Oh, I have not heard this, Jess.
Camilla Ludington
No, no.
Matt
She's blaming me for the bears.
Camilla Ludington
I think the little buffet. New information up there are they could swiff out those carrots and they're like, that's it, we're going in.
Matt
You know why the bears really came to our yard? No. That's why I haven't done a garden in there since spring of last year. So there's nothing there. Even when I had a garden, nothing was growing. So they're not there for that. They're there because Camilla loves Halloween. Everyone knows this. And we have a thousand pumpkins in our front yard.
Camilla Ludington
They didn't go for the pumpkins, though. They were all sniffing around the garden.
Matt
They didn't make it to the pumpkins, but that's what. That's what they were on to, I think.
Jessica Capshaw
Hey, can we talk about plan B for a second? What exactly is it?
Camilla Ludington
Okay, Plan B is emergency contraception you take after unprotected sex. Think of it as backup birth control. It works by temporarily delaying ovulation to help prevent pregnancy before it starts.
Jessica Capshaw

Yep. It's at all major retailers in all 50 US states. No prescription ID or age requirement.

Camilla Ludington
Jessica?
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, Jessica. Yeah, yeah.
Matt
Yes, please.
Camilla Ludington
Were they there for the pumpkins or the buffet?
Jessica Capshaw
Well, it sounds like the new information is that the. That the buffet was empty. There's no. There's no vegetables in the buffet. So I don't know.
Camilla Ludington
The problem is, is that this has actually made the news. Okay.
Matt
Yeah. It started as a little funny thing that we thought was a one.
Jessica Capshaw
The bear buffet.
Camilla Ludington
No, I. Not the buffet. I haven't released that to anybody yet. That's information sitting on. No, the bear itself made the news in Los Angeles. It's been on the news and they actually have a name for the bear. And the bear is. Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Jessica Capshaw
Did the bear go to someone else's house?
Matt
Yeah, the bear ended up going down the street in a neighbor's yard.
Camilla Ludington
Yes, yes.
Matt
And they had helicopters checking out the bears.
Camilla Ludington
I have it saved on my phone.
Jessica Capshaw
Poor bear.
Jessica (Pandora Jewelry Advertiser)
I know.
Camilla Ludington
Okay, so the bear, its actual name is Yellow 2291. It's about four to six years old. It weighs about 175 pounds. And they tracked it because it had a.
Jessica Capshaw
510.
Camilla Ludington
It's about 510.
Matt
It's 510. See? Exactly.
Camilla Ludington
Circus bear. Jess, It's a retired circus bear. Yep. It has a collar on Though, So at first I was a little bit like, is that someone's pet? Like, I didn't understand it. Wait, it had a collar on? Yes. And it.
Jessica Capshaw
Oh, that's how they knew it was P722. Whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so I just.
Matt
Wow.
Camilla Ludington
My point in telling you all of this. Oh, wait, hang on. I do have to add this part. Okay, so Matt calls me, and he's like, baby, the bear made the news at another house down the street. And then what did you say, though, about their footage?
Matt
Oh, their footage was not very good. Ours was a lot better.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah.
Matt
So, yeah, I decided to post our footage to see, you know, competitor footage, just to share, because ours was fantastic and the bear was there for a long time. Excellent.
Camilla Ludington
You were hoping to go viral.
Matt
I didn't really want to go viral, but I. If I did, it would be fine.
Camilla Ludington
It leads us to something even more important than the.
Jessica Capshaw
Than the bear.
Matt
What?
Camilla Ludington
Because you made a joke, and honestly, I didn't like the joke because you know how I feel about this, and Jess knows how I feel about this. What did you say that the. It could be you meant. Oh, yeah. Oh, maybe it was.
Matt
Bigfoot.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah.
Matt
So just a joke.
Camilla Ludington
Not to me.
Matt
Bigfoot with a collar on about five' ten.
Jessica Capshaw
I mean, the only thing that could have been better is if you said it was an alien.
Matt
Either way, she would have jumped on.
Camilla Ludington
It, to be honest. Actually, Matt, how many times do I say that I think I've seen an alien in the sky, A ufo, quite often?
Matt
Once a month.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah, once a month, probably.
Matt
But also, you know, if it's like, Loch Ness Monster, she'll dive in. If it's Bigfoot, she'll dive in.
Camilla Ludington
I just love it. But okay, Loch Ness. I. I'm not sure about Jessica Capshaw. Do I sincerely, honestly believe in Bigfoot? Yes. Yes.
Matt
Jessica, do you believe in Bigfoot?
Jessica Capshaw
I don't have an opinion on Bigfoot.
Camilla Ludington
How do you not have an opinion on a Bigfoot?
Ryan Seacrest
Well.
Jessica Capshaw
How do. How does one have an opinion on Bigfoot? Like, I mean, like, are you talking about, like, reading the lore. The lore of Bigfoot or watching movies about Bigfoot or, like, we want to research.
Matt
We need to know if the Bigfoot in the John Lithgow movie years ago, if you. You think that was real?
Camilla Ludington
Harry and the Hendersons.
Jessica Capshaw
Do I think a Bigfoot?
Camilla Ludington
Yeah. Exists.
Jessica Capshaw
Oh, where? Like, there was. There is a. A Bigfoot that is, like, in the bridge between primate and. And man.
Camilla Ludington
Yes.
Matt
Walking around.
Jessica Capshaw
That has a large foot.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
I Think this could.
Camilla Ludington
Sure.
Jessica Capshaw
I mean. I mean, I feel like. Yeah.
Matt
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
I mean, I am. I'm thinking of what you're putting down.
Camilla Ludington
I think if you. Thank you.
Jessica Capshaw
But I think, like in present day.
Camilla Ludington
You think? Yes. So I. Here's what I believe. Okay, Matt, you already know this. I believe there is a. This is where people get to know.
Jessica Capshaw
Really how crazy you are.
Matt
Yeah. We got time. Here we go.
Camilla Ludington
Okay. I do believe that there are. I call them big feats because there's more than one. I believe I've said before. Do you remember how many I said that? I think that there are.
Matt
I don't remember that.
Camilla Ludington
It's about 30 to 40 is what I think.
Matt
Just total.
Jessica Capshaw
Globally.
Camilla Ludington
I don't know if globally. I agree with America.
Matt
Do you think there's Bigfoots?
Jessica Capshaw
Well, no, big feet back.
Camilla Ludington
Well, I actually, I'm glad you that you bring that up, Matt, because that's not the terminology in other countries. The Yeti. Yeah, I've heard that the Himalayan mountain range and the Sasquatch is what it's called in Canada.
Jessica Capshaw
I've heard that.
Camilla Ludington
So a Bigfoot is sort of more a North America sighting.
Jessica Capshaw
There's been sightings. Has there ever been a capture of one?
Camilla Ludington
No, Jess. I think that would have made.
Matt
I think then. Then we know.
Camilla Ludington
I think we'd fucking know if they captured.
Jessica Capshaw
Well, since I'm in my infancy as a Bigfoot believer, just if I'm going to be brought over to your side. I was just asking questions, okay? Don't be such a dick about it, dude.
Camilla Ludington
Don't you think. What if I'd be like, oh, yeah, you didn't hear about last week they captured a Bigfoot? It would have been everywhere.
Matt
I feel like they have. We just don't know.
Camilla Ludington
No, here's. I mean, that's possible. That could be like an Area 51 thing.
Jessica Capshaw
I was gonna say.
Camilla Ludington
See. Yes, but we don't know about it. Jess, like you're asking me. Like, I. I have a theory on why they're. They don't want to be captured or seen is because if one did or we've discovered them, they'd be part of like, a sea world. It would be like foot world.
Jessica Capshaw
And they know this. They know this will happen.
Matt
Jessica, I haven't even heard this yet, and I have so many questions.
Jessica Capshaw
The reason why they're not caught is because they know they'll be captured. I'm pretty sure everything that gets captured.
Matt
Doesn'T realize we were talking about bears like, three minutes ago.
Camilla Ludington
I know. But they're both. They're both sort of creatures in the woods.
Matt
How big. How big do you think their feet are?
Camilla Ludington
It's an excellent question. I think at roughly a size, I would say 17. Adult.
Jessica Capshaw
Put it like a 20.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah, 17 to 20. Yeah. Obviously they're not wearing shoes.
Jessica Capshaw
I'm making up an imagining that the. The footprint has been found.
Matt
Yeah.
Camilla Ludington
The footprints. Okay, so. So the footprints have.
Jessica Capshaw
The Bigfoot remains elusive, but the footprint.
Camilla Ludington
You're right. That's how they feet are big.
Matt
That's how they know the footage did come out.
Camilla Ludington
Excellent footage. Came out of somebody on the street.
Matt
Not as good as my bear footage, but it was pretty good.
Camilla Ludington
It was not as clear. If your bear footage caught Bigfoot, then we'd be. We'd be making bank. Dude. For that footage. No. And in fact, there is a consensus about the size of Bigfoot. And I want to read it to you because I've got some facts.
Matt
Facts. You hear that?
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, I did.
Matt
I did.
Camilla Ludington
Facts with the capital F. They are facts, Matt.
Matt
All right, let's hear them.
Camilla Ludington
The consensus is that a bigfoot is probably about 7ft 3 inches.
Jessica Capshaw
So bigger than your average circus bear.
Camilla Ludington
Bigger than a circus bear. And this was amazing. Its eyes may reflect light and look as if they're glowing. And then they only scare the.
Matt
Out of you.
Camilla Ludington
I'm not kidding. This is. Someone wrote this in an article. They only give off a bad smell 4 to 15% of the time.
Jessica Capshaw
4 to 15.
Camilla Ludington
I knew you'd have a problem with that fact.
Matt
They only give off a bad smell 4 to 15% of the time.
Camilla Ludington
Did I stutter? That's what I said.
Matt
Where did those numbers come from?
Camilla Ludington
The research I did this morning.
Matt
So we couldn't smell a Bigfoot like.
Camilla Ludington
Well, unless you're in that frame of percentage.
Matt
Got it.
Camilla Ludington
Okay. I have to tell you, though, living in California is not. If you are scared of bigfoots. They're here. That's where they are. They're actually in. There's a lot of reports of them in California. I do. I do think Florida. I don't know what they're doing in Florida.
Matt
I thought they were like a wilderness thing, you know?
Jessica Capshaw
I want to know where you're.
Camilla Ludington
Well, I'm reading Florida now, and I am second guessing that because that seems a little. Oh, but the. Okay. They've been reported in every single state. A sighting in every single state except Hawaii. So they can't swim.
Jessica Capshaw
Or take a boat.
Matt
Yeah. That's fascinating.
Camilla Ludington
It is pretty fascinating.
Matt
Single Hawaiian Bigfoot well, that would, that.
Jessica Capshaw
Would track with your theory that it's North America.
Camilla Ludington
It's North. You think I'm joking. South America. Yeah. Maybe under a different name though, right?
Jessica Capshaw
The Sasquatch or the Yeti.
Matt
The Smiths.
Jessica Capshaw
Do you think that we sound the smartest that we've ever sounded on this episode?
Camilla Ludington
I understand.
Matt
Listen, I love you brought me in for this.
Jessica Capshaw

Camilla Ludington
Listen, I understand that, like, it's all fun and games until you meet a Bigfoot, right? I genuinely, seriously, I'm not joking. I really do believe that they exist, I think. And, and this was very interesting to me that I did not know. Okay, so people that, like, search for creatures like this are called crypto zoologists.
Jessica (Pandora Jewelry Advertiser)
Okay.
Camilla Ludington
And they typically study and search for hidden or unknown animals to evaluate their existence. For example, in 1910. Now, granted, I didn't. I don't know if this source is real or not. This is just what I read this morning.
Matt
These are facts.
Camilla Ludington
These are facts from this one site that I found.
Jessica Capshaw
Facts. Yeah.
Camilla Ludington
A crypto. A crypto zoologist proved the existence of the Komodo dragon, which was once considered mythical. So, Eve, my point is, is if this source is right, who knows? If it is right, then this. There are things that we discover all the time that we have never known about. And are all these people lying about Bigfoot sightings?
Matt
I do think the. The expanse of the wilderness can hide many things we don't know about.
Camilla Ludington
Exactly.
Jessica Capshaw
Wow. You guys think.
Camilla Ludington
I think so, yeah. I mean, yes. And I heard today a crazy theory. If you believe in ghosts, okay, check this out, then there has to be ghosts of like, a lot of things, right? Are Bigfoots.
Jessica Capshaw
Ghosts of Bigfoots.
Camilla Ludington
Do you need a moment?
Matt
No, I'm good. Keep going.
Jessica Capshaw
Thank God you. You can see that Matt almost just expired because he tried to the ghost while Camilo is saying what she just said.
Matt
Right?
Lego Star Wars Advertiser
Let's hear it.
Jessica Capshaw
I love you two so much, I can't even handle it.
Camilla Ludington
Jessica, just ignore him.
Matt
I'm just trying to help the ghost.
Camilla Ludington
You're not the ghost of. Huh? Of, like, was it caveman?
Lego Star Wars Advertiser
Yeah.
Matt
Early man.
Camilla Ludington
Early man. People are seeing that and interpreting it as a Bigfoot. Not so funny now, huh? Pretty good theory.
Jessica Capshaw
Maybe funnier.
Matt
Still a little funny.
Camilla Ludington
It's still a little funny. Well, that's not very nice.
Matt
Help me out, Jessica.
Jessica Capshaw
I mean, honestly, I can understand. I came into this really feeling like I was gonna have an opinion.
Camilla Ludington
You. Do you believe in Bigfoot?
Jessica Capshaw
And I am at a loss for words. I mean, I don't even know necessarily where we've gone to. We started with bears.
Camilla Ludington
Well, because, oh, it could be a Bigfoot. And I was like, don't say that, because you might be tempting a Bigfoot to come after. I mean, manifesting a Bigfoot.
Matt
Yeah. That was after the whole. It was a joke. It was.
Camilla Ludington
It's not a joke to me at all.
Matt
If you wanted to wear night vision goggles to go to work in the morning, it was just adding to the humor.
Jessica Capshaw
I'm just thinking about the ring cam footage that I want to see, which is you, like, darting from the front door to your car.
Matt
Yes.
Jessica Capshaw
With a bear horn in your hand.
Camilla Ludington
I. Literally.
Jessica Capshaw
On a keychain.
Matt
I meant to bring the bear horn just because I forgot you're on video now. I could show it.
Jessica Capshaw
And then your beautiful gait and then, like, two extra feet of extenders on top of your beautiful gate. That matter.
Camilla Ludington
What did you. Did you do? I've done a lot of research to come here today and have a serious podcast. Did you do any research on bears whatsoever?
Matt
Yeah, I. I looked up bears, and.
Camilla Ludington
Baby, I don't think you're taking this seriously. Because they will return.
Matt
I do think. Look, I'm not making light of it. It is rather dangerous that they were in our yard. I just think that your overreaction was.
Camilla Ludington
I'm sorry. First off, you laughed at me when I asked if it was a grizzly.
Lego Star Wars Advertiser
Why?
Matt
Because they're extinct, aren't they? Or black. Aren't. Aren't black bears or grizzlies? One of them is kind of extinct. Right.
Camilla Ludington
And you think a grizzly is not endangered?
Matt
No. Wait a minute.
Jessica Capshaw
But they're not extinct. Yeah, they're endangered.
Camilla Ludington
There's not a lot of them.
Matt
I know what extinct means. Camilla.
Jessica Capshaw
Oh my goodness.
Camilla Ludington
Wow. Can I be honest? You're laughing at me thinking I did say something stupid just now and you just said the grizzly bears.
Matt
I. I got ahead of myself. I didn't mean the grizzlies are extinct. But aren't black bears really close to. You know.
Jessica Capshaw
What?
Matt
Extinction? Or. Or is it a black endanger?
Jessica Capshaw
No, I think black bear and a grizzly.
Matt
I'm an idiot. Okay.
Camilla Ludington
A black bear and a grizzly are different bears.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, they are.
Matt
I know grizzlies.
Jessica Capshaw
There's less of them.
Camilla Ludington
You're not going to go to the Natural History Museum. It's next to a dinosaur.
Matt
Okay, it was.
Jessica Capshaw
I just want to know where the bears came from.
Matt
Let's talk about Bigfoot.
Jessica Capshaw
Well, like, where do they walk down from exactly.
Camilla Ludington
I did think there's a lot of. Okay, so the viewers don't know where we live. Maybe they're picturing that we lived really somewhat rural. We don't. We live in an area. There's a. There's a Starbucks down the street.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, sure.
Camilla Ludington
I mean, like we're living. I mean it.
Jessica Capshaw
Did it cross over the big street?
Camilla Ludington
It would have crossed over.
Matt
Yeah. I mean there's. There's a supermarket right down the street.
Jessica Capshaw
It went shopping.
Matt
If I would have gotten other. Go that way.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Matt
It's a lot of food.
Jessica Capshaw
It's a mom, right?
Camilla Ludington
It was a mom and she was dangerous about it.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, because she protect the cubs. How old were the cubs?
Matt
I didn't ask them. Sorry, Jess.
Jessica Capshaw
Can't you put. Can't you put your little finger on the ring cam that. Can't you. Speed doesn't have a speaker. You can talk.
Matt
That was something Camilla said. Is she. I swear she mentioned we need to put up a sign or something. I swear we mentioned a sign during our.
Jessica Capshaw
Our morning.
Matt
You think that I. I'm pretty sure she mentioned we should put up a sign.
Camilla Ludington
This is my response.
Jessica Capshaw
No bears allowed.
Matt
Yeah. Don't come in this yard. Bears.
Jessica Capshaw
No bears allowed.
Camilla Ludington
Are you being serious right now?
Matt
Yes, I remember.
Camilla Ludington
You're winding me up. I did not say put out a sign for the bears. It says no bears.
Matt
But you're right. I should have put on the intercom.
Camilla Ludington
I don't know why.
Matt
Excuse me, guys.
Camilla Ludington
Honestly, I'm regretting inviting you here.
Matt
When you asked me how we were going to talk about bears for an.
Camilla Ludington
Hour, I said we just need. It's. It's turned our lives upside down. I'm now afraid of my own home.
Jessica Capshaw
Did you tell the kids that the bears were there?
Matt
Yeah, they thought it was very cool.
Camilla Ludington
They didn't think it was cool. They've drawn some pictures of the bears. It's a hot topic in our household.
Jessica Capshaw
So they were not afraid of the bears?
Camilla Ludington
No, no. They're excited, but I haven't let them in on.
Matt
I mean, it's a very rare thing. I don't see it happening. I can't.
Camilla Ludington
You don't think that they would be back?
Matt
I think it's pretty rare. But now I feel like since the.
Camilla Ludington
Time, I don't know, now they know.
Matt
Things are a little different. I think we'll see more.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah. Apparently because of the fires in Los Angeles and near where we were, like, they're coming down.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, that makes sense.
Matt
This particular family has been tagged and been relocated a few times, and they keep coming back to our neighborhood.
Jessica Capshaw
Your house. Well, what do you think they want? Your pumpkins?
Matt
Too many pumpkins.
Jessica Capshaw
Or your bear buffet? Maybe it was last year's beer buffet that got them. Maybe it was last year's harvest that has them dreaming about your buffet.
Camilla Ludington
Exactly.
Jessica Capshaw
So she could be right. And then it wasn't there, and it.
Camilla Ludington
Wasn'T there in there, so it went for the pumpkins.
Jessica Capshaw
So you're both right. How do you like me now?
Matt
There you go.
Jessica Capshaw
How do you like me now? Are there any more interesting stories about the bear that we. That we need to.
Matt
Yeah, I actually wrote stuff down. Let me.
Camilla Ludington
Oh, my God. You bought a notepad.
Matt
Well, because I want to make sure that I covered all of the ridiculous.
Camilla Ludington
Things that you said.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Camilla Ludington
Did you?
Jessica Capshaw
Don't leave any of them out.
Camilla Ludington
I have a question.
Matt
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
If.
Camilla Ludington
If I saw a bear outside and I was like, oh, my God. And I. I went outside, I did my peek. I see the bear. Would you come and fight the bear with your. Would you fight the bear?
Matt
I wouldn't jump into just fighting a bear. I think I would probably tell you call work and tell him you might not come in for sale.
Camilla Ludington
I'm sorry. Let's just. Actually. Okay, so let me just understand this. I'm outside, There's a bear in front of me.
Jessica (Pandora Jewelry Advertiser)
Okay.
Camilla Ludington
He's like, whatever. Right. And you're not going to come out and fight. You want me to get on the phone and call the PAs at Grey's Anatomy, say I want to be late?
Matt
This is the whole strategy we talked about. You open the door, you peek. You don't Go outside.
Camilla Ludington
You are not. You have one job, literally. No, but I interpret the family. And this is what you want me to do? Make a phone call?
Matt
I. I would fight a bear for you.
Camilla Ludington
Would you?
Matt
I would fight a bear for you.
Camilla Ludington
I feel like your.
Jessica Capshaw
Your lips are saying one thing, your.
Camilla Ludington
Eyes are saying another.
Matt
I wouldn't fight the. The three cubs, but I, I, I'd fight the big one, honestly.
Camilla Ludington
Would you really? If our dogs got out? I really want to know.
Jessica Capshaw
Have you guys seen the revenant? I don't think you'd fight. You don't want to fight a bear.
Camilla Ludington
That was grizzly, though, but thank God they're extinct.
Jessica Capshaw
Fight a bear.
Matt
We're going to.
Jessica Capshaw
Needs to live to take care of the children. So maybe he wouldn't come fight the bear. Maybe he would.
Matt
I would crawl into that bear if I had to for my family.
Camilla Ludington
Like Midsummer.
Jessica Capshaw
No, like the revenant.
Matt
Yeah, like the revenant.
Jessica Capshaw
He slept in the bear.
Camilla Ludington
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wait. Okay, annoyingly, you have bought. You didn't tell me. You need to bring your note.
Matt
I think I covered it.
Camilla Ludington
Okay, what do the notes exactly say?
Matt
Well, everything we talked about.
Camilla Ludington
Okay. There was no plan. I had him come here, really, to describe the plan so that we wouldn't get attacked.
Matt
It wasn't something I ever thought I'd need a plan for. So I was unprepared. I'll be honest.
Camilla Ludington
Okay. I think that we have to call it Jess, is what I'm feeling.
Jessica Capshaw
What are we going to call it?
Camilla Ludington
And I call it a bear.
Matt
And honestly call it a bear.
Camilla Ludington
Honestly, I think that we should apologize for subjecting you to this entire podcast episode because Jess said, hey, do you want me to, like, I can. You know, I want to be here for the other. Maybe you want just to be the two of you. And I said, no, the three of us. It's going to be beautiful.
Matt
And now I said, I want to talk. Hey, I want to talk about world problems, and I want to change, you know, I don't want to make a difference.
Camilla Ludington
Bigfoot's part of the world.
Matt
Kamala said no. You're talking about bears.
Jessica Capshaw
You're talking about bears.
Matt
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
Well, do you think that the dynamic would have been different if it was just you two?
Camilla Ludington
Would have been worse.
Matt
I feel like you. You regulated things.
Camilla Ludington
You regulated it. It's better with you here.
Jessica Capshaw
But maybe I shouldn't have. Maybe we could have. We could have. Maybe we should have just let you be unhinged.
Camilla Ludington
Ah, well, there's always next time there is next time.
Matt
All right, well, there's another bear that comes by.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah, we'll give you a bear up.
Jessica Capshaw
Matt, I would like to choose the topic next time you're here.
Matt
Thank you.
Jessica Capshaw
I'm gonna get a good one for you.
Matt
Good to see you.
Jessica Capshaw
I love you. Camila, I love you.
Camilla Ludington
Good to see you.
Jessica Capshaw
I love you so much. You guys are gonna go do something after this. I'm not gonna be there with you.
Camilla Ludington
We're gonna go do some shots. Stressed out, having a panic attack.
Matt
Going back to Home Depot.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
Matt
We are gonna show her.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah. I actually can't believe. Because you spent. Sorry. But you spent so long there that all you thought distracted by the sand went that way.
Matt
And then.
Camilla Ludington
Yeah. Yeah. You do love.
Jessica Capshaw
You have to ask some people some questions.
Camilla Ludington
That does get lost at Home Depot. He loves.
Jessica Capshaw
Honestly, it is. It's kind of like Costco. You just get. You know what I mean?
Camilla Ludington
Like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
If you give a mouse a cookie that those. Yeah.
Camilla Ludington
Anyways, wrong place. Anyway, let's.
Jessica Capshaw
Well, maybe we should call it.
Camilla Ludington
We should. The end of the episode.
Podcast: Call It What It Is (iHeartPodcasts)
Hosts: Camilla Luddington, Jessica Capshaw
Guest: Matt
Date: October 28, 2025
This episode is a hilarious, meandering group therapy session revolving around an unexpected bear encounter at Camilla’s house—complete with wild tangents on Bigfoot, domestic debates, and classic best-friend banter. For the first time, "Call It What It Is" welcomes Matt as the third wheel in the usual bestie dynamic, as the trio dissects what it means to face an honest-to-goodness “bear scare” in suburban LA and, naturally, whether Bigfoot could be next.
Notable Quote:
"Why don't I just at 5 a.m. round the corner, see if there's a bear there or not? What am I gonna do? Honestly, if I round the corner and the bear is there with the three babies? Which, by the way, puts them in basically 'cocaine bear' mode. Because they're in protection." — Camilla (08:28)
Notable Quotes:
"Do you know what they have at Home Depot to fight against bears? Nothing." — Matt (09:51)
"Unlike Matt, because I care about protecting our family, I did some bear research... They went over the side where somebody started a vegetable garden, aka a bear buffet." — Camilla (11:45–12:11)
Notable Quotes:
"Do you believe in Bigfoot?" — Matt (19:23)
"I call them 'big feats' because there's more than one... about 30 to 40, I think." — Camilla (20:42–20:55)
