sa国际传媒淗e just stayed and he just stared at me for the longest time and I decided I needed to do something a little more intimidating,sa国际传媒� recounted Gallant on the program.

sa国际传媒淎 little more intimidating?sa国际传媒� interjected Meyers. sa国际传媒淪o what did she do? Growl? Stomp her feet? No, she opened iTunes and selected sa国际传媒楧onsa国际传媒檛 Tread On Mesa国际传媒� by Metallica.sa国际传媒�

There were howls of laughter from the audience as he set the scene Gallant faced.

sa国际传媒淚magine if you can - imagine seeing a cougar and your first thought being sa国际传媒榃hatsa国际传媒檚 the message I want to convey through song?sa国际传媒檚a国际传媒� he pondered.

sa国际传媒淪o Dee pulled up the song, held her phone in the air and hit play,sa国际传媒� he continued. sa国际传媒淎nd as soon as the first few notes rang out, the cougar turned around and darted back into the woods.

sa国际传媒淐an you imagine being that cougar? Yousa国际传媒檙e like, sa国际传媒淥h, great. Theresa国际传媒檚 a lady. This will be easy. And then you get closer and yousa国际传媒檙e like sa国际传媒極h, itsa国际传媒檚 a Canadian. Even easier.

sa国际传媒淎nd then yousa国际传媒檙e like oh, (bleep), itsa国际传媒檚 a metalhead. Never mind.sa国际传媒�

Putting himself in that situation, Meyers said he wouldnsa国际传媒檛 have been nearly as brave as Gallant.

sa国际传媒淚n the time it took her to make that video, I would have (bleep) my pants, changed them and then (bleep) the new pair.sa国际传媒�

Meyers figured the average person would have headed home after the encounter, but marvelled at Gallant.

sa国际传媒淪he finished her hike playing the same song on repeat the whole time for safety,sa国际传媒� he pointed out.

Gallant posted her story on social media after returning home and her video immediately went viral and even prompted a call from Metallica frontman James Hetfield.

sa国际传媒淥ur world is filled with people unwilling to take action in difficult situations, people who see danger and refuse to do what needs to be done,sa国际传媒� Meyers concluded. sa国际传媒淏ut not Dee Gallant. She is a role model for our times.sa国际传媒�

And if you donsa国际传媒檛 agree, he used Gallantsa国际传媒檚 famous three words from the video she took of the encounter: sa国际传媒淚sa国际传媒檒l fight you.sa国际传媒�

Ironically, Cougars are the nickname of the sports teams at Chemainus Secondary School in Gallantsa国际传媒檚 hometown.

She also recently played in a music trivia tournament in Duncan under the team name sa国际传媒楤ad Kittysa国际传媒�, the same words she uttered to the cougar before turning on the Metallica tune to blast him away.
