” In the segment, Seth Meyers recaps a story that recently went viral about a Canadian woman named Dee Gallant, who went hiking, discovered she was being stalked by a cougar, and responded in the best way possible: by blasting Metallica’s “Don’t Tread on Me” on her phone, which made the cougar run away. After Dee’s story went viral, she even got a phone call from Metallica’s lead singer James Hetfield. “This is the kind of story we need right now!” Meyers correctly says.
Canada is the Australia of the north. Full of critters that want to kill you. But also outdoorsy Canadians are tough af. I've met a lot of them living so close to the border.
There’s Dee and there’s the idiot who danced inside of the lion’s den at the Bronx zoo.
