before you get that pilot’s license you should answer the question are you afraid of snakes I’m Andrew from Long Island New York let’s talk about that good mythical morning today’s episode is brought to you by kurtulus comm the guys with the goods including this good the Gekko magnetic ID cup holder and cooler if you want to keep a can cool and in place on something that can be magnetic ID which means that it’ll stick to a magnet metal this is what you need the Gecko the tool is calm you’re a robot you could like to stick that on your well not there but anywhere on you and it would stick to you right but then the drink the drink would flow out unless you like better no put it over four-headed okay let it fall in your mouth uh robots don’t drink carbonated beverages thank you for joining us today good mythical morning again as we’ve said many times which could be any time of the day for you how you feeling I’m feeling good and I have noticed that some people responded to yesterday yesterday’s episode about the polyphasic and the monophasic sleep cycles yeah we’ve got people who’ve made video responses about when they sleep and when they don’t sleep we had a guy who’s up at like 3 o’clock in the morning and that’s when he’s watching good mythical morning because that’s his schedule because he’s up then because he only sleeps like four hours that’s impressive and you’re envious of this guy he’s getting closer to giving it a shot I really want to do it and ruining the lives and convenience of all of his family and friends including me in the news out of Australia and Australian pilot said he was forced to make a harrowing landing reminiscent of a Hollywood thriller after a snake a snake added a syllable in there after a snake popped out from behind his dashboard and slithered across his leg during a solo cargo flight solo yeah he made a harrowing landing or wasn’t he wasn’t by himself he was with a snake that’s right but this the Nick doesn’t have appendages it can’t and the snake couldn’t help him with the snake because the snake was the snake ah that that’s your problem there and then he so he landed the point he’s wigging out I mean yeah first of all what kind of plane is this does it have like holes in the top of it like snake shaped holes that snakes could pop out well I think it’s a plane that at some point in the recent past carried snakes as its cargo well it they don’t really say Brayden Glennon hates it unsure whether the snake was venomous said Thursday that his heart raced as he tried to keep his hand still while maneuvering the plane back to the northern city of Darwin the snake popped its head out from behind the instrument panel several times I mean I oh listen I’ve been here the whole time you didn’t know that snakes reveal themselves oh yeah I picture like plastic covers over panels with needles and then I see us I guess I picture a snake going behind the thing but but I don’t picture a snake actually popping out well that’s a way didn’t need to fix his dashboard I just think he had to like take a crap or something and he just decided just to plan the plane because it couldn’t figure out how to turn autopilot on and you made up the story this is what happened then the ordeal worsened when the animal crawled down his leg during the approach to the airport hey calm down your leg I’ve got a high voice because I’m a female snake he’s quoted as saying I’ve seen it on a movie once but never in an airplane that’s good link so what is he saying he never saw the movie snakes on a plane while in a plane no he’s saying that he knows that this is a movie but he has never experienced it personally and when he did experience it personally it was different than as if he had been watching him he is not samuel l.jackson it was very real that’s basically all that he’s saying in that statement now I have not seen snakes on a plane and I’m hoping you haven’t either because I respect you I all seen the movie okay good respect intact at least in terms of movie tastes so I’m wondering if any of you sing that movie I think it’s something you just see just for kicks let’s see this because it will be funny to say that we watched it did do you I mean are you gonna make a point no I was just saying I just wondered if you’d seen it enough is enough I have had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday play everybody strap in about the open from freaking window well if you were in his shoes what would you have done I guess that’s my question uh well before I tell you what I would have done because the coincidence level is pretty high because I talked to my dad on the phone last week he needs a pilot around the same time that this was happening okay cuz this story is from there like the middle of last week uh-huh and I’m like well how’s everything going you know hmm you were calling him for legal advice about something yeah he’s a law professor and I call him for legal advice I caught I don’t call him to connect with him at all I just call him for legal advice it’s not true Oh while I was getting legal advice I was like so how’s everything going he says well yesterday I get I get home open the door to the foyer and there’s a snake in the foyer really yeah I’m like did it say hey I’ve been here all day no I said so what you do he said well I was thinking what am I gonna do about this snake and you know he didn’t know whether it was he said it was like you know like 14 inches long or so it was small I was like a bit it was probably just like a grass snake or something like that but he’s like I’m not taking any chances it’s just like what I’m gonna do with a snake he says as I was thinking what am I gonna do about this snake it crawled to the corner of the foyer and there’s a little gap in the the baseball baseboard and he said the snake just goes right into the baseboard this goes into the wall and he’s like a mouse he’s like and he goes and get some tape and tape sit up he taped he taped the whole shot and I was like so you could then figure out what to do and then figure it come up with a better plan no just to tape him in there and so he taped he taped the snake in the wall and then that night my mom is like beach list freaking out you know she’s like it’s something toilet something tells me that is not a true exterminator technique hey listen I got to taint everything’s okay where’s the snake hole my strategy this is not my dad this is the exterminator that you call my strategy is I’m going to force the varmint into any one of these cracks in your floor and then I’m going to take them in there see that all the pilot had to do was knee some masking tape and then you know he’s steering with his thigh and Shh and then he’s just putting tape over the holes evidently he didn’t need to have holes in his dashboard anyway that was his problem is what I’m getting at so your if your dad was there he would have taped the holes in the dashboard and he would have he would have gone to his destination yeah well and my mom had trouble he said she said I’m gonna have trouble sleeping because you just tape the snake into the wall and come out anywhere and he said well then like five minutes later she was she was asleep so I guess it wasn’t that big of a deal so they haven’t done anything about this snake oh he’s a he’s dead by now or else he’s real he’s having a great time in the wall or you just look over at the tape sometimes you need to see there’s something behind it just kind of poking at it that snake is out man this the snake could be anywhere at this point it’s harmless when they landed the plane they a firefighter says that let’s see where is this a firefighter spotted a snake but authorities were not immediately able to catch it so they took some tape no they didn’t a trap baited with a mouse failed to catch the snake by Thursday the plane remained the grant remained grounded and now he’s back in the air he’s flying again the snakes never been found I would not personally okay I’m not that frightened of snakes it’s a little ironic too because I have a recurring nightmare about snakes everywhere like a genie Lana Downes every note everywhere i step there’s a snake this is a recurring dream I’ve had it at least 20 times in my life however I’m not that scared of snakes in fact we’ve got a picture we’re gonna show it two summers ago maybe last summer in North Carolina there was a snake in our fry yard like a rat snake bit snake big snake I just picked a sucker up picked him up I just reached out and picked him up like Steve Irwin and he wrapped around my arm and then I just went into the house and showed the kids because you know the dads need to do stuff like that like hey kids I call it a snake and then they think you’re the greatest dad ever I would never do that I mean my kids already know that I’m the greatest dad ever I don’t have to prove it and if I was going to prove it I wouldn’t prove it that way because I just can’t bring myself to pick up snake I go to the museum with the kids and they have the thing where they’ll bring out a live snake and they want you to hold it and it’s just it freaks me out I’m in general there’s just something inside of me inside of most normal human beings are you afraid of snakes let us know back me up here but I’m afraid not only for myself but that if I were to hold the snake that I would freak out and dash it on the ground and then the museum would be out of a good snake because because at a certain point and I think I have held a snake before because I think we did the zoo commercial I held a snake but I remember thinking the whole time you’re shaking right now just think out well I’m acting I’m acting okay I’m thinking I could – this thing on the ground and no one no one wins in that situation why do you use the term – – it upon the rocks yeah – it on the rocks spike it like a football I just throw it down that’s but my fear goes even further I mean I’m definitely also afraid of spiders I’m not gonna let a tarantula and a museum crawl on my hand even in such a controlled environment as a museum but even out in the wilderness when we go hiking my daughter she loves to pick up lizards and stuff I just I can’t bring myself to tell her I’m afraid to pick up that lizard I just say you’re faster than me you can pick up the lizard you would be the world’s greatest dad well you would be the second world’s greatest dad next to me if you could pick up snakes for your kids and show them this spiders pick up that kind of stuff show me your man there’s got to be a better way there’s gotta be a better way what are you afraid of what do you have recurring dreams about in the animal world are you afraid of snakes spiders in other studies out there that say that we are not innately afraid of snakes and spiders but that we quickly learn to become afraid of snakes inspires it is a learned reflex not an innate one I think it’s in the reptilian part of your brain okay so uh trapped guess I guess it’s time to get out of here you know walk over here try to go out this way yeah kick it out oh wait wait listen we must be trapped Oh No there’s a door over here I’ve already tried that door this one this that’s a closet ah there’s no way out crikey looks like we better settle in and now I’ve got one drink right here and it’s cold still trapped um if you die first I’m gonna eat you just FYI good mythical morning good mythical morning to me and you oh good a mythical morning good mythical morning let’s see what these boys will do good morning
