  Speaker 5: called the Wood River Valley. It's where the ski resort
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: Sun Valley is located, and there are a lot of
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: sheep ranchers here and one day I was headed to
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: work and heading down there's only one road to get
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: up and down the valley. Were hundreds of sheep just
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: walking down the road because they take them to the
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: mountains in the summertime and then they bring him down
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: in the fall. And I was probably about a half
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: hour late, just waiting for the sheep to.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Get out of my way.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: I didn't I wish. I mean, we still can because
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: they still do it, but now they kind of head
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: them down the bike path.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: It was crazy. And when I got to work, this

  Speaker 6: Good morning, Hi Sanjay.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So we were doing that thing right about the craziest
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: reason you were late to work?
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: Real reason, yes, real reason. Okay, are you ready to start?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: Okay. So one morning, I was the last person to
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: leave the house, which is super unusual. But I was
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: walking downstairs and I noticed in our living room there
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: was what I thought was a very big lizard on
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: the wall. We have two cats and they love to
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: bring us presents, and the most popular present is a lizard.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: So I thought, okay, I gotta get this lizard. But
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: I kept walking towards it, and I realized, oh my god,
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: it's not only going up the wall, but it's down
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: onto the carpet and it's like three feet long and
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: there's no feet and oh my god, it's a space.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no no.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: I lose my mind because I am terrified of snakes. Luckily,
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: I had my phone in my hand, and I call
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: my husband, who's at work, and I'm like barely getting
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: out the words, there's a snake in our living room.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: There's a snake in our living room. And he's like,
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: he doesn't believe me, but he eventually does. He races home.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: He tells me much later that he ran two bed
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: lights to get home. He gets home, he walks into
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: the house carrying a towel and I'm like, and he
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: comes and I haven't moved. I'm standing in the exact
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: same spot as when I saw the snake, because I
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: think if I leave my spot and the snake moves
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: and we don't see it, then I'm moving out of
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: this house. Yeah, oh fine, never coming back. So I
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: had been standing on the staircase the whole time, like
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: just shaking. So my husband comes in with a towel
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: and like, a towel, what's the cow going to do?
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: And he goes back out. We talked about it for
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: a second. He goes back outside me brings the fox.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: He's like, okay, I'm gonna put it under. I'm going
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: to get it and I'm going to put it under
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: a box and then you know, we'll figure it out
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: from there. And he sends me upstairs, and I'm like, okay,
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: thank god, I don't have to be around for this.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: So I go back upstairs, and after a little bit,
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: I hear this super loud commotion and my husband's name
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: is Monty. He calls me back downstairs. I'm like, no,
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: I don't want to go back down there. I go
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: back downstairs and I see the box upside down in
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: the middle of the living room. I don't see the snake.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: I'm like, okay, we got the snake. But he's yelling
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: at me from another room, and I go in that
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: room and the cat brought in this giant bird and
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: he's like, yes, I needed the towel, and he's got
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: the bird in the towel and he has me open
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: the sliding glass of the word and he releases the
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: bird and we both come in the house and we're
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: walking by the living room where this boxes, and I
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: continue to go upstairs, souse, I don't want to be
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: anywhere around the snake, and I hear him say he
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: lifts up the box and he's like, oh, f where
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: did it go?
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: I immediately I'm like that's it. I'm getting help, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: I go running out the front door and I go
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: down the block about three houses because we have a
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: neighbor who is a police officer but also super in
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: the camping and hunting. So I go running to his
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: house and I'm ringing the doorbell and nobody answers. I'm like, okay,
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: what do I do? So I'm going back towards our
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: house and I notice a house that's directly across the street.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: Something catches my eye and I look at it and
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: my brain is like scrambled this morning already with the
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: snake and the bird, and I don't believe what I'm seeing.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: The garbage can of this house is completely on fire
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: and it's up against their garage door, and there's a
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: big tree that's right next to it. And I'm like,
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: oh my gosh, this neighbor's house is going to burn down,
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: and this tree is going to catch on fire, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: then another's neighbor house is going to burn down, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: what kind of crazy morning is this? And I don't.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: I go running back in the house and I yelled
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: call nine one one, and he turns to me and
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: he said for a snake. I'm like yes, but I said,
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: know our neighbor's house is on fire. And he comes
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: outside and mewlis. He's like, oh my god. So I
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: dial nine one one, but I am a complete blubbering mess.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, they're like, Okay, where.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Do you live?
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: And I'm like, here, I live here.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: Finally get out the address, which took me a while,
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: and I could tell They're like, Okay, this lady is
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: insane and as I'm on the phone with nine one one,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: a police car rolls up and I could tell that
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: they are rolling up to see check out my story.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: And the next thing I know, the police officer. I
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: can see him on his radio, and then I hear
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: fire sirens and everything, and they show up. And it
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: turns out our neighbor deals with sodium sodium metal. I
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: got my husband here, he's helping sodium metal. He acts really,
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: it acts really badly to water. It explodes And the
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: fire department knew this because when they moved in, they
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: had to tell the fire department this. So they completely
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: shut down the block because if the explodes, it could
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: blow up that house and the house right next door
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: to it.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, if they were just these.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: You can't hit it with a hose. Okay, the water
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: will cause the sodium metal to explode, which I guess
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: is the cool thing about sodium metal.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Who knew and that's why.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: And that's why you were late to work? Well no,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: so no, I couldn't sew my shoes. Guys.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: So the block is completely shut down by the fire department.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: Now not all the neighbors are coming out, and including
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: our police officer. Neighbor who had been in the shower
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: when I stopped by, and Monte goes up to him
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: and is like, hey, man, can I borrow you for
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: a second. We got a snake in our house. And
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: he's like, oh, sure, what kind of snake is? It
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: is a rattlesnake And Monty's like, I don't think so,
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: and he's like sure, okay, just second. So this is
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: where I the story gets funny is our neighbor grabs
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: goes into his garage, grabs one glove, comes walking into
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: our house with one glove and opens the box and
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: I guess the snake had curled up. It's like this
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: three foot long snake that it curled up under the
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: flat and it's like jumping at him. And our neighbor goes, wow,
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: this snake is. Matt reaches into the box and grabs
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: the snake with his unngloved hand.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: What was the I don't know.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: I think it was a rattlesnake. I don't know, but
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: the fire ended up being put out. Our neighbor rescued
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: us from the snake that he well, no, we rescued
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: ourselves from the bird because we let it free with
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: a towel that my husband initially walked into the house
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: with and then so then the next thing you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: we have all these neighbors standing outside watching the fire
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: department with this fire. We've got an other neighbor walking
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: around with his snake in his hand that he had
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: killed because I was like, no, if you don't kill
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: the snake, I'm moving. And it was just the craziest day.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: And I ended up making it to work before lunch.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: But you were late to work. I'd love to hear thatways.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: Very late to work. I was about three and a
• 12:17
