WEBVTT - MINI: Jack and the Snake

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to them, Christian No Show podcast. How was your weekend,

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Shackie boy, you met a snake?

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I had an uncomfortable last night, having come face to

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 2>face with my own mortality yesterday afternoon. Patsy, you probably

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:18.239
<v Speaker 2>have experienced this being a country girl, But for me,

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 2>I had never seen a tot of snake before.

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.080
<v Speaker 3>You know what, when we were when we first moved here,

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 3>I just thought all of you had lived around snakes

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 3>your whole night. I thought Australia, basically, judging from sort

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 3>of reports that we get the other side of where

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 3>England is basically a giant snake.

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Dit Like as much as you would see a dog,

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 2>we would see. Yes, yes, I've seen brown snakes. I've

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 2>never seen a tiger before.

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 4>I have.

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 3>It does not to physically to your body. That's an

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 3>ancient like an ancient your ancient brain, was it? The

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 3>reptilian brain noses under threat, your hair stand up. You

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.479
<v Speaker 3>literally stopped ice cold.

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Dead, and well you jump backwards. I jumped backwards before

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I realized, before my brain processed that it was a snake.

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, amazing. The physical reaction happens kicks him before you're aware,

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 3>before you can even compute, So what happened?

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Where were you? So?

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 2>I was up at the cabin where we're trying to

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 2>get the solar panels where we did the boys weekend,

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm filming a video for my dad to say,

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 2>this is the yard work that I want you to

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 2>do when we're up here next weekend.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Your's amazing courage.

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, he had him around the other week picking

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 3>up dog crap from his own gardens. He's retired, people,

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean I'm now, I'm now never going to retire

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 3>or I just expected to pick up dog ship, get

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 3>a shove l, pickup boots.

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm giving him fun things to do. You're doing him

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>a favorite slave labor. So I'm making a video of

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 2>the wheeze and stuff that he can pull.

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>That's it. Put him to work.

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 3>An old man unable to physical be made to work

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 3>your lap.

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 2>And then I get a shot because I swing the

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>camera around and I see my new friend, the tiger

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 2>snakes sitting on a step on the bottom step.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>House in a chain of recliner.

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of that goes from the house into the garden.

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh j Just snakes don't just sit there.

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 2>They bake in the size sat there.

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>His feet.

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Slithering implies that he's going from one point A to

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.080
<v Speaker 2>point B, but he is parked.

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 5>There stunning himself.

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 2>They're all out, He was stunnying.

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:26.839
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean they're out?

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's that time of year. They're waking from their

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 5>slumber's been all the water. Well, yeah, the water could

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 5>be pushing them out, especially up that way where you are. Definitely,

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 5>you know when pushing it out.

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Makes it sound like he was trying to sleep.

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Water water.

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.799
<v Speaker 5>Covering floods. Back in nineteen ninety one, Wangarada was completely

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 5>cut off from the rest of the state, and I

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 5>remember there was a farmer. I went out on a

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 5>dingy with a farmer to do some voice reports for

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 5>three a w.

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 1>This is classic reporting, isn't it. This weekend right terrible

0:02:58.919 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>flies for some of Victoria.

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it's heyday if your news reporter, isn't it.

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of this pointing going on at bodies

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 3>of water, like you're watching it going flood, you're gonna

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 3>have to point it out. I see lots of water

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 3>up to doorways. Can you point There's just a lot

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 3>of like pointing and stuff. There must have been a

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 3>rush on gum boots this weekend from local news reporters.

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>So you actually get in a dingy. Yeah.

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 5>So we went in this dingy out on this farm.

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 5>And you're not going to believe this, but we went

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 5>under this massive, big gum tree and he said don't

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.519
<v Speaker 5>look up, and I said, what do you mean don't?

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 5>And of course, naturally I looked up and there were

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 5>all these snakes up in the tree, on a tree.

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.839
<v Speaker 5>Snakes on a tree. They were escaping the water. Yeah,

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 5>and they're all wrapped around the branch as it was horrendous.

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Horror movie it was. And we all like looking down

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>at you with their snake.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 5>Eyes saying, hey, Patsy, how are you?

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing? I had like sort of American actions,

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a gal like you.

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>It was.

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 5>I was like something out of it. I had nightmare.

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 3>This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. So over the weekend,

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Jack was out of his cabin and he was making

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 3>a video to center his retired dad of work that

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 3>his retired dad would need to do around.

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 2>We would do together. It would be a father son.

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 3>This is this audio commentary before Jack craps his pants

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 3>when he sees a snake. It's basically like you're instructing

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 3>some sort of foreman.

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:32.599
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's going to work the land.

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 2>We'll take the wage out, get riddle long grass and

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>this finey stuff, this finy stuff. I was gonna have

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 2>to go head to pull that down. We'll take the

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 2>wage out, get riddle long grass and this finny stuff

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:54.719
<v Speaker 2>down the side. Will just clean that up. Oh hello, sir, Hey,

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>you scared me.

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 1>Sir?

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 3>Who on earth says to a snake? Hello, we roll

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 3>over and eleticularly or belly.

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 2>You don't know what you're going to do in the moment.

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Do not go hello.

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>This was a confronting site. Six foot long?

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 5>How big was it like?

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Six foot long? Come on? The video does not look six.

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Foot as thick as a bottle of wine.

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 3>It's about it's about twenty centimeters on the video.

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>It is not six No, I must have been a way.

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 3>All right, we've got a snake catch on the line here.

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 3>This is Stewie the snake Catcher. Good morning, Stewie, Good morning?

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Are we yeah? Yeah, we're good. So have you seen

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Jack's videos? Chewy?

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 4>I did? I did. I can't confirm that it is

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 4>a tiger snake. Ok, it's snake in the.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 2>World four, top fourth, top five.

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>That is big. That is big. So and what should

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Jack have done other than say hello.

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:04.720
<v Speaker 4>Sir, Absolutely, he just remained calm, step back and give them,

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 4>give the snake plenty of space, nothing to do with us.

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 4>Snake's more scared of Jack than Jack was of the snake, so.

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't say it. Romaine Colmes to you, thank you

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 2>for that now in the video and we got up

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>on the Instagram if people want to see this terrifying site.

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 2>The snake has like a cobra type neck, some type

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 2>of tiger cross cobra.

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. No, So what that is is that is a

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 4>threat defense mechanism. So you can imagine if a snake,

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 4>something bigger than the snake was to approach it, the

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.159
<v Speaker 4>snake would have been flatten out and make itself look

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 4>as big and scary as it possibly could.

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I see like like a peacock fanning its feathers.

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Pretty much the same technique. Yeah, every animal has their

0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 4>own defense mechanism, and the snake is that. And also

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 4>another fact for snakes and reptiles, they're ectothermic, which means

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 4>they need to go out and absorb heat through artificl

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, different things. So they have to go out

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 4>and sit in the sun to be able to absorb

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 4>the heat to warm their bodies up. Now, if they

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 4>stay in the sun too long, well that's really go

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 4>over heat and they him die. So that's why Jack's

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 4>snake was sitting there nice and safe in next to

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 4>the long graph, but just enough that he could warm

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 4>himself up, and that if something was to come and

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 4>possibly threatened the snake, and the snake's self threatened, it

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 4>could pull back straight into the grass and just appear

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 4>very quickly.

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 2>So if I had not seen him still and kept

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>walking down those steps, would he have got me?

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I think he would have.

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 4>No, he would He would have stood as still as

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 4>possible until you got very very close, and then he

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 4>might have jumped back. And then yeah, you would have.

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 4>You would have seen him, and he would have taken

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 4>off one hundred miles an hour the other direction.

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 3>Now, tell with this steet, with the floods over the

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 3>last couple of days, and what you're saying about how

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 3>they're seeking more heat, will we see more snakes around

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 3>places now because they're obviously wet or damp.

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, I've been absolutely run off my feet. The last

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 4>few days with all the floods, I've been working closely

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 4>with Big Pole and a few councils pulling snakes out

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 4>of floodwaters. And we are going to see a few

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 4>more snakes. If you can imagine any waterways house the

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 4>number of different wildlife down there. So as that water rises,

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 4>everything needs to go, you know, see higher ground and

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:42.719
<v Speaker 4>move away. At the moment, snakes are looking to get

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 4>up high. So any trees that are in the floodwaters

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 4>will have snakes in them and other wildlife. As that

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 4>water starts to received, you'll see the snakes starting to

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 4>move along and yeah, moving around. So if you do

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 4>come across the snake, and you know, you just need

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.959
<v Speaker 4>to be mindful that the snake is terrified being flashed

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 4>out of the time, just give it plenty of space.

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.839
<v Speaker 4>The most important thing that we need to realize, Yes,

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.959
<v Speaker 4>snakes are dangerous, but they're only dangerous if we interact

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 4>and interfere with them, if we give them plenty of space.

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 4>They want nothing to do with that.

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Move on there on, Now tell me this.

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.839
<v Speaker 3>I've always wanted to know this because I've obviously been

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 3>English terrified at snake's right, Say I get stung?

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Right? What should I do if I get stung by

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>a snake?

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Am I to lie down very very still, to not

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 3>get the blood pumping around my body and wait for

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 3>help or pray for death?

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 4>Firstly, Christian, you won't get stung by a snake. You

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 4>will be bitten by a snake. Any If you are

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 4>bitten by a snake, the first thing you do is

0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 4>come a compression immobilization bandage technique is the required first

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 4>aid for it. However, if you don't have one, just

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 4>sit still, call an ambulance and let the help come

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 4>to you. You know, we probably average around three thousand

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 4>snake by each year in Australia and only one point

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 4>four average people die per year from snake bite. Half

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 4>the average. Between one and two people a year die

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 4>from bite, and usually that's because they don't get help

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.200
<v Speaker 4>in time, or they're out in the bush, you know,

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 4>and just simply can't can't get help. But Australia is

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 4>very very efficient with first aid and when it comes

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 4>to snake bite, they take no chances. Treated correctly, you've

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 4>got a very very high success rate as pulling proved great.
