WEBVTT - MINI: Snake Bite

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Quest.

0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Over the weekend, I was talking about song Wow Friday show.

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 3>I begged my wife to go on a tree pilgrimage

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 3>with me. We're really into trees at the moment, and

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 3>I'd heard about a beautiful Aida tree, a mountain ash

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 3>tree for tree fans listening around the world right now.

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 3>And it was about two and a half hour dry

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:22.119
<v Speaker 3>from a house. But also I meant we could go

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 3>on explore Victoria and see, I've never been to a

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Warburton before.

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 4>Beautiful, beautiful, and I saw you went to the Redwood

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 4>Secor at Warburton as well.

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, it's stunning there, absolutely stunning. And so

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 3>the big thing, the main event was we're going to

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 3>this Aida tree. So after two hours we pull up

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.519
<v Speaker 3>and there's a sign and then we say that it's

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 3>about twenty five minutes on a dirt track. Okay, And

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.520
<v Speaker 3>you don't get a lot of these where we're from

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 3>in the UK. You have tarmac, there are roads. You

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 3>don't go down a dirt track. And my wife goes,

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 3>oh a bit spooky here, Well, they can't move the

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 3>tree in the middle of the road. It's nature, you know,

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 3>we it's good on a dirt track. You know, we're

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 3>in a clugar. It's the car. Be all right, you know,

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.040
<v Speaker 3>it's twenty five minutes. We're we're driving.

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 4>But couldn't they build one of those travel laders at

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 4>the airport where the tree is there.

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 3>A gift shop there. We get there and then we

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 3>see that both of us have got no phone service. Okay,

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 3>because we're out in nature. This starts spooking my wife.

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 3>She's like, oh, you know when someone says that, you

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 3>know it's in the tree. We've driven for two hours

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 3>and then I suddenly feel like this is what would

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 3>be said on the documentary. And when they got there

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 3>they had no phone service, but Christian O'Connell decided that

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 3>they'd driven there they should carry on. My wife starts,

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 3>we've got no phone service. What if the kids needs us?

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 3>And went, well, if they if they need any need

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 3>an emergency, we're two hours away anywhere, and they called

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 3>triple zero. I said, you know, we'll be all right.

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 3>We're in the car. Then it's just a forty minute.

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 3>What she was on I got these trees everywhere is damn.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 3>This brings out the snakes.

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 4>The damn trees bring out the snakes. I thought the

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 4>sunbury out of the snakes.

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 3>She was then terrified that when we got there near

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 3>the aid of tree would be snakes waiting for us

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 3>like a lamp bush. Because the snakes now they're coming cavin.

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 3>They comment, they're English as well, fresh English blood. I

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 3>haven't been an Englishman in years.

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 4>They get the high vantage point.

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 3>They smell us, Oh smelling from here with his after shave.

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh fancy. So my wife goes, oh, if you do

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 3>get bitten or anything like that, I've got a snake

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 3>kit in the car now, And I went, I did

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:24.360
<v Speaker 3>not know.

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 4>This, really, what is it like anti venoms?

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 3>You would think, would you from the snake bike kitch?

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 3>You would think, because that's what you need is anti venoms.

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 3>I opened it up. It was a lone solitary bandage

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 3>called snake bike bandage. And I'm thinking, basically, if I

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 3>get bitten by a snake, I'm putting that round my

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 3>neck and just taking myself out. That's the only good

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.399
<v Speaker 3>that that is gonna be. What's that gonna do when

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:53.359
<v Speaker 3>there's poison in my bloodstream? Quick bandage around this and

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 3>I'll be as good as Girl Dumming.

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 4>If anything is just keeping the poison in there.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so obviously we turn the car. Well, I didn't

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 3>get to see the agent.

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 4>You didn't even get out of the car.

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Five hour round trip. I haven't seen the Aida Tree.

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 4>What a show.

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 3>All I saw was a bandage had a lovely ludgo

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 3>at lunch out there and a pint. But that was it.

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 3>We went back home. The kids were like, when I

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 3>was the Aia Tree, when we didn't, you must do

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 3>worry about being bitten snakes.

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 4>No one really gets there.

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 3>And that's what I said. Look, we've been here almost

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 3>four years. I've not met anyone who's been bitten by

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 3>a snake. They've seen them, they're not being bitten by them.

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I just asked the eight people that are working on

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 3>the show right now. None of you, luckily have been

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 3>bitten by.

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Snake seeing a bunch of snakes. But they try and

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.959
<v Speaker 4>stay out of your way. They'll see you today and

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 4>they'll get out of here.

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Try and stay out of your way.

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they're as scared of you as you are of them.

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 4>Even more scared.

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Now. My wife told me, if you're walking along the

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 3>person in the front is the safest because suddenly the

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 3>snake's got Oh there's someone walking here and you've already

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 3>gone past, and the next person go, oh, there they are.

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 4>No, they're not trying to Life has a lot.

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Of made up bs about snakes. As I've been married

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 3>to Joe Rogan Neil Young, it's not going to like it.

0:03:56.240 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 3>You're splaining snake misinformation and lies this morning calling how

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 3>have you been bitten by a snake? Because English people

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 3>just convinced that you've all been bit by snakes and

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 3>they're everywhere. They're in like duney stilet, snakes are everywhere.

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 3>I've only seen one in almost four years of living it.

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 4>I think you've gotta be walking through long grass and

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 4>spook it. I don't be fair.

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 3>There was a lot of long grass.

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 4>What about the dirt track?

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but then it came to a stop and you

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 3>had a forty minute walk to get to the Zada tree.

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.119
<v Speaker 4>I think you would have been safe.

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 3>I got that bandage. The Christian O'Connell show podcast, What

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 3>would you do if you were out the mount and

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 3>you got bitten by a snake? Are you todd school here? Like?

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 3>What to do? What the protocols?

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Are.

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 4>I do remember them teaching us something, but I can't remember.

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 4>I was first gonna say, your friend sucks out the poison,

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 4>but I think that's from the movie City Slickers.

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.160
<v Speaker 3>You can't be sucking out deadly venom. Otherwise your mate's

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 3>thing going to be in problem. Both.

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 4>No, no, because so say you got bitten and then

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 4>I get down on your legs, suck out the venom

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 4>and spit it to the side and keep sucking it

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 4>out until all the venom's out of your.

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't the venom start to circulate in.

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 4>The Yeah, but I could get maybe could get rid

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 4>of eighty percent of.

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:07.600

<v Speaker 3>Sorry, wasn't it normally? What's loving about having a pet, Dean,

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.640

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.200

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 3>What snakes have you got.

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.040

<v Speaker 1>is the wife's one and the python's me son's one.

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>So we've played the rats. Sorry he's in Hurst.

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Where does the python sleep.

0:05:59.320 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>In the cave?

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.600
<v Speaker 3>But don't they get out? Sometimes? I'm massive they do.

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 1>We've got lots on them though. Yeah, they're just just

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>curious animals. Originally pretty good. But when it gets a

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>bit of feeding time and we'll clean the snake cage. Yeah,

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>you've just got to be a bit quicker than a

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>bit feisty.

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm not sure none of us know how

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.679
<v Speaker 3>quick we are. We think are we snake quick? Who knows?

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.600
<v Speaker 3>To find out you're not? As you get bit my wife?

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 3>So when you seem bit, what happened? Who beat you?

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 3>The post?

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, especially the big one for the woman the mississ

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>is one bites me? Just let's go. But because it's

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 1>it's it's protecting the area. So when you go in there,

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>you're in the truer a tense. Why it's snakes up.

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>It's giving them the warning and then if you keep

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.159
<v Speaker 1>keep on proceeding and just bite you, let's go. It

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>just gives you warning shots first. But I've got to

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>clean it out and the the Yeah python, my son's one,

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Mtual's one. It's huge. It just bites and don't let go. Virtually,

0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you've got to put it on the taps. I think

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>it's druand to releases and that's a big one.

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 4>We want seven of foot python over to the kitchen.

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I knew this is going to happen. Yeah, it's a

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.200

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I did. I was living up in the Hunter

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Valley in your south well, you know, a great area wine,

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 2>cheese and everything, and my partner was living young in

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Victoria and I was on the phone late at night

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>at the back of our property, just in songs and everything,

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 2>and I was walking around as you do, talking away,

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 2>and I thought there was a stick on the ground.

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I kicked it, and actually I kicked a snake in

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 2>the head. And I didn't even know I was not

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>bit because I can't feel my feet from surgery or anything.

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 2>But it was a baby brown So yeah, it got me.

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 3>When you say got you, so beat you? And then

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 3>what happened?

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well I just went to bed. I didn't feel it,

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't get any reaction because of all the medication I've

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.720
<v Speaker 2>been on before from surgery. And yeah, for four days

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I was really sick. In my BOSSC goes, I think

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 2>you better go to the doctor. And I went to

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 2>the doctor and she's like, I've you been bit? One thing?

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I say. A couple of mozzies got me on the

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 2>foot and she goes, can I have a look, and

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 2>she had to look at her and she said oh.

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 2>She goes, oh, Darla, that's she has.

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:48.920

<v Speaker 3>And then what happened and everything fine?

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, Well because there was only a warning bite,

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't like an attack bite, so apparently didn't stop.
