It was definitely a margarita.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah. And but and didn't the snake start to coil
around her straw? Oh, Carletta, was it not a big snake?
Not if it was climbing around her straw? Are we

Not a worm, it'll scare you. And what did the
restaurants say? Well, obviously it was up in the up
in the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I guess another customer grabbed it and put it outside.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Dear God, dear God, but you think that too much
is being made about it?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
No, No, I'm trying to understand where.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So the snake coad is obviously up in the ceiling
tiles or up in the ceiling of the building.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Because it looks like People magazine felt like it was
front page worthy. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Did they really they front page the snake?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
It is? It is not on there anymore, but it
definitely over the weekend. It was last night. It was
on here? Is that would that be under human interests?
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Now?
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Real people, real people are animals?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (01:54):

Virginia woman left traumatized after finding a snake in her

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Oh damn, it is that the snake?
Speaker 5 (02:11):

Speaker 4 (02:11):
No, that stock footage.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Yeah, Diane has a photo of a snake, because that's
also stock.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I'm gonna say, because that thing's any bitting.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
This is this is the picture and it's and some
people are saying it looked like it was a baby snake.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Oh, get over it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Now, like, is that part of the snake or is
that part of the something on table?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Listen, I don't care what that is.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
If that thing fell out of the ceiling into my glass,
is it big?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
No, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
If that I would lose my mind.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Yeah, because I see the photo now as well, because
now people are saying, well, well, if that's the baby,
where's the mama the Okay?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Well, I don't do Is that how it works?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I don't know. I mean, do they push them push
them away at a certain age, like.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
The yeah, right through the ceiling tiles? What is the
would we be shocked to learn? Would we be shocked
to learn.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
There's snakes and ceiling tiles?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
No, that would not surprise me at all. But would
we be shocked to learn that there's snakes at restaurants?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well, because you think of like rats and mice.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Okay, I prefer not to. No, I prefer not to.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
But I mean, listen, there are going to be some
restaurants where in the surrounding areas there because of trash
and whatnot, there may be some rodents. And where there
are rodents, there are snakes.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Are there more snakes and restaurants than we think.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Isn't this the story we've talked about many times?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Oh, the Texas Roadhouse.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Regional complex or pain complex syndrome. What remember the rattlesnake?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yes, yes, but I mean that was that was that
was a little bit different because wasn't there like a
whole like reservoir area or grassy area where the snakes lived.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
So you but it was in the use the snake
being outside the restaurant there.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
No, I don't excuse it, but that's a little different.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I was just thinking that would we be would we
be shocked to find out that a lot of restaurants
have snakes? Not like they're keeping black snakes there to
eat the mice, but just that there's more there than
we think.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Well, when it says the series.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Do you fail?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Do you fail an inspection if there's a snake, you
would think so, like, I've never seen a snake in
a kitchen.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
When any critter cause issues with your grade? Yes, yes,
oh with a snake, it's like, eh, think of the
environment in which this restaurant is located. Okay, When she
says she recalls workers removing the snake with a stick,
(04:49):
was that like the worker snake stick.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Oh, so they have one for.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Hitting it with or trying to pick it up with
or did someone run outside and get an actual limb
from She said workers.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Tried to remove the baby snake with a stick, but
then another customer just grabbed it and put it outside.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Not me.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
For either.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I'm not getting a stick. I'm not you know what,
I Am getting the f out of there, and you
know I'm not paying. At that point, you may as
well tell me the power went out, there's a snake
falling out of the ceiling.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
You know what. I gotta look at their reviews. The
story went clearly viral enough.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah, I mean People magazine was all over.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
It that perhaps there are people reviewing them that have
never gone.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh, you know what, it's doing well? Four point two.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
That's good, Steven says, definitely coming in for the margaritas.
But then this next one is assuming there was a
health violation.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
There is a health violation. You didn't know there's a
snake falling through the ceiling.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
You wondered if that would lead to to.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Get you a failing grade. True, you just don't hear
about it. But I'm telling you, I bet there are
more snakes.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Than we than we than we think.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Uh so this says no names. Here we go again.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
What's her name? Okay?
Speaker 5 (06:19):
I used to work for a service company for them,
and it was never the cleanest. The snake was probably
going after a roadent.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
But I mean that makes sense. Wild would a snake
be there?
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Uh? Like you said, I guess maybe it could be
near a space like yeah, okay, whatever Christen snake porn
things she was showing us.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Oh the snake pile.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
If that was happening nearby the restaurant, you'd say, well,
I kind of understand how some ended up here.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah. No, because there was a big ball of snake
having sex looking for the.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I waka.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Pineapple margerite.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I try not.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Oh it comes with a snake?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Is that snake small enough that you would have grabbed
it and flung it off your nose?
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Now?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Would you have gotten up and run?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I would not be sitting at that table?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
How did it fall through the ceiling?
Speaker 5 (07:25):
The people on people dot com commenting are not the kindest.
She was left traumatized. Traumatized my hind end Ooh.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Language's just say my ass Diane.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Please.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
This one says not buying it not buying. Do they
think it's one of those cases where we've seen people
have put.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I just threw uh just threw a roach down on my.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Foot, or they put glass in their meals or whatever.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
That would pretty proof you.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
But we have seen like, yes, hair mice before, yes,
a dead mouse.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
The whole time I was believing the situation. Are we
just so quick to think that everybody everybody's everyone else?
Everyone's a shy Oh and Cindi lu who said and
she could take a picture like traumatized my hinh end.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Neither of these people are part of the three plus
floaters club.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
I bet the woman having the margarita was hmmm.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I at no point did I not believe the story?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
I totally bought the story. There's a picture. Yeah, what
did you say? The restaurant went on record with that
it was probably chasing a rodent?
Speaker 5 (08:45):
No, no, or did they not speak?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Has the restaurant not said anything?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The restaurant offered to move her to a booth. That's her,
that's her saying she just wanted to leave quickly, right.
The restaurant, when reached out to by eight News, said
they were aware of the situation.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
The snake.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
They said, likely got into the restaurant through the air
conditioning unit. And then they asked what precautions were now
in place to prevent this from happening to another customer,
to which they said nothing. So now they they looked
at like the Virginia Department of Health.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Oh boy, previous inspection. I know somebody that works for
a service agency that used to go by there and.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
They had some you know, cracked floor tile. Oh, stop it,
broken handles, that's part of the.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Arm No, no, no, did Diane say that was that
part of the.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Broken handles, missing ceiling tiles, dis room, cracked floor tiles,
leaky ceiling tiles.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Whoa, that's not good.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But these viol relations were corrected when they went back
to reinspect six days later.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Thank you, good, thank you. But it definitely happened, clearly. Yeah,
the restaurant didn't say it was not according to people.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Do if they're saying, oh, probably got in through the
air conditions.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
You know it didn't come from her puppet.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Now right line one, Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Hey is this me?
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:26):

Who's this?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Now?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
I'll keep the name off. White said, do not call
and tell this story. Okay, three weeks ago, We're gonna
go fishing in the morning. Uh, four am. I walked
down to the downstairs bathroom, opened the door. Turns out
it's like a five foot snake on the floor in
your bathroom the bathroom on the bathroom floor. I mean,
(10:53):
I let out like a yelled and then I'm like, yeah,
I gotta get this thing, man. I mean, I can't
just run out the house. I gotta Yeah, I can't
let him crawl into a couch. So end up going
and in a closet. We have a swisher. It's like,
I don't know, a five foot pole with a little
(11:13):
mop on the end.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Oh yeah, those arettle swisher valves or whatever.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Yeah, but they aren't very firm. So I fishbout it
and this is like.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
A half bat.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
They look bad. So I'm in there clucking with that thing,
and all of a sudden, the wife's like, hey, what's
going on? Like, hey, I'm fighting a snight. What the
how do you think I'm doing. It's four in the morning.
I'm hitting this thing. I get him out. I felt
(11:45):
like a hockey player. I kind of like scooed him
out into the kitchen floor and I'm hitting him with
this swisher and it's not doing anything, and all of
a sudden, I pin him under it, and I'm like, hey,
what can I do? And White's all after me leaving
my shoes around. Well, I had a tennis shoe and
I grabbed it and I start hitting that snake in
(12:07):
the as hard as I can hit it, but it's
it's not doing anything to it. It's still squirming, and
then it starts to bite the heel of my shoes.
It does a small is not a small shoe. It's
like a fourteen tennis shoe. But I guess it's got
too much give in it. I'm hitting on this thing
(12:29):
and I feel like I'm getting rope a dope. George
r I p rest this is going on for it.
Let's say it felt like a long time. But let's
say two minutes, three minutes. I'm I'm winded right and
I'm sitting there and the snake is curled around the
(12:50):
shoe and I'm like, how am I going to get
this thing? And as a pair of ice tongs up
on the counter, I get those and I getting behind
the heads real tight and he unwies off the shoe.
When he does about five wraps on my forearm.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
What on your on your arm?
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Beacon out?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Oh my god, dude.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
And again it's like, hey, where's the wife. I thought
we're going fishing. It's now about four point thirty. Come on,
I mean I'm raising hell downstairs.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Come on. Okay.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Finally I'm like, I go outside, I detached garage. I
sling it off my arm, get it with a shovel.
And the weird thing is, I mean I don't have
a stitch of clothes on the whole time.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You're the best, You're the best show man. Hey, appreciate it.
Thank you, sir, thank you. Oh my god, it's great.

You walk into the bathroom and there's a five foot steak.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Well, great, the hell back out, shut the door, Call
an exterminator.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Do you have time? I'd call coast Guard Kurt. That'd
be my first thought.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I guess he's had a snake issue the no, but.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
He's way more outdoorsy and was in the military. Who
am I calling?
Speaker 2 (14:13):

me Colleae exterminator.

have a stitch of clothes.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'll call and that door stay and shut until somebody
shows up.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
You don't think that the snake could slide right out
right down the turtle. I'm gonna get towels or something.
I would not be good too. Hi, elliot in the morning.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Excuse me?
Speaker 6 (14:35):

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Hey Toby from Richmond?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Hey, what's up, Toby?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Hey? I actually go through the restaurant quite often. I
actually live in Richmond, and it's sounds they it's right
near the Richman Airport is where the restaurant is.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
So wait a minute, So you go to this restaurant
even with their issue, Well.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
They haven't had snake issues before. But yeah, I'm going
to the restaurant quite a few times with my friends.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Is it Is it an nice place?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
It is a nice place. Yeah, it is a nice place.
Of you know, the staff are very nice. It was
real and I think here, but you know, it's not
a Mexican restaurant. If you don't have any cracked tiles in.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
It, well you know what, thank you?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Oh you know what.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I feel like I've seen tiles. It like old chee
cheese and stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
They all, I wouldn't think that would be a major
health violation.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
You know what, I I don't care if the floor
is cracked.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I do care if there's mold, but yeah, I don't
care if the floor is cracked.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
But it's two different things. Four cracking mold. Mold can
actually need to actually die from mold enough.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, I mean I could trip on the crack in
the floor and bang my head and die.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
But we all know you're just getting free heat.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Absolutely well, what's very nice restaurant? I've done.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Myself?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Do I Now?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I drink myself a lot of moren we just when
I get the like band said, and pineapple money. It
does really good.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Actually good, there you go.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, all right, very good, thank you sir.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Yes from Otter. I'm in commercial pest control, and occasionally
snakes act like spider is in the way that they
will follow a food source and subsequently get stuck wherever
they wind up them saying though it was probably the HVAC,
does mean they maybe have areas that need to be sealed.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Line four, Hi, Elliott the morning.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
How're we going good?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Who's this ja? Yes?
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Jay?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
So?
Speaker 7 (16:27):
I used to work in a restaurant down in Old
Elicant City if you're familiar with the area.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Yeah, sure, and down there.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
There's a lot of trees and a lot of water. Well,
a Mexican restaurant down there that I worked at. On
multiple occasions we had maybe eight to ten foot black
snakes hanging from the ceiling over a table with people
not realizing it and us seeing it.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
You're kidding me, no, no.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Not not one bit.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
At least five times in the decade plus I worked there,
there were snakes in the rafters of the building that
people didn't see that we saw.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
What kind of ceiling is it? Where you would look
up and not see that?
Speaker 7 (17:05):
So you know how some of the restaurants do the
ceiling where it's like not finished, but it's painted black
and then you can see kind of like the ventilation.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
And all that.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Oh we call that an exposed ceiling.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Yeah, So that that's what it was. And the ceiling
was painted black, so it was really hard to see
the snake, but you could see him moving over top
of a table every now and again. And these weren't
these weren't little guys. They were they were big, old,
fat boys.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
All right, by the way, new routine and listen.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I'm sorry for the salt line, but it starts there tonight.
I will inspect ceilings when I go in to see
if there's snakes up there.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Dear God, dude, wow, just hang in there.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
But he'd landed on the location, yeah, because of the water.
I picture this playing as they're running around trying not
to catch the attention of the guests but also deal
with the moving ceiling.
Where's the restaurant in Richmond where the snake fell into
that woman's margarita?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Sandstone?
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Right?
Speaker 4 (00:06):
Is that where it was?
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (00:07):
I thought it was in.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Richmond, Richmond, Richmond, Ish where.
Speaker 5 (00:12):
Patron Mexican restaurant and cantina. Is that right?
Speaker 4 (00:16):
And it just fell, It fell from the ceiling into
that woman.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Bounce off her head? You laugh if that happened to you.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Oh, are you kidding? I'd shriek.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
So where was she at the bar?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Or?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I thought she was sitting at a table having a margarita?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It was definitely a margarita.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah. And but and didn't the snake start to coil
around her straw? Oh, Carletta, was it not a big snake?
Not if it was climbing around her straw? Are we
making a big deal about nothing?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Did you see the picture of it?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I mean I don't.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's kind of coiled around the part of the straw
and the glass, so it's and the picture, yeah, but
it's it's it's enough to scare It's.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Not a worm, it'll scare you. And what did the
restaurants say? Well, obviously it was up in the up
in the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I guess another customer grabbed it and put it outside.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Dear God, dear God, but you think that too much
is being made about it?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
No, No, I'm trying to understand where.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So the snake coad is obviously up in the ceiling
tiles or up in the ceiling of the building.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Because it looks like People magazine felt like it was
front page worthy. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Did they really they front page the snake?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
It is? It is not on there anymore, but it
definitely over the weekend. It was last night. It was
on here? Is that would that be under human interests?
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Now?
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Real people, real people are animals?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Oh, I know it's not astrology.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Let's go real people. Let's go real people.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Virginia woman left traumatized after finding a snake in her
margarite at a Mexican restaurant and it was under animals things.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Oh damn, it is that the snake?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
No, that stock footage.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Yeah, Diane has a photo of a snake, because that's
also stock.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I'm gonna say, because that thing's any bitting.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
This is this is the picture and it's and some
people are saying it looked like it was a baby snake.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Oh, get over it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Now, like, is that part of the snake or is
that part of the something on table?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Listen, I don't care what that is.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
If that thing fell out of the ceiling into my glass,
is it big?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
No, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
If that I would lose my mind.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Yeah, because I see the photo now as well, because
now people are saying, well, well, if that's the baby,
where's the mama the Okay?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Well, I don't do Is that how it works?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I don't know. I mean, do they push them push
them away at a certain age, like.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
The yeah, right through the ceiling tiles? What is the
would we be shocked to learn? Would we be shocked
to learn.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
There's snakes and ceiling tiles?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
No, that would not surprise me at all. But would
we be shocked to learn that there's snakes at restaurants?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well, because you think of like rats and mice.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Okay, I prefer not to. No, I prefer not to.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
But I mean, listen, there are going to be some
restaurants where in the surrounding areas there because of trash
and whatnot, there may be some rodents. And where there
are rodents, there are snakes.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Are there more snakes and restaurants than we think.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Isn't this the story we've talked about many times?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Oh, the Texas Roadhouse.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Regional complex or pain complex syndrome. What remember the rattlesnake?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yes, yes, but I mean that was that was that
was a little bit different because wasn't there like a
whole like reservoir area or grassy area where the snakes lived.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
So you but it was in the use the snake
being outside the restaurant there.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
No, I don't excuse it, but that's a little different.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I was just thinking that would we be would we
be shocked to find out that a lot of restaurants
have snakes? Not like they're keeping black snakes there to
eat the mice, but just that there's more there than
we think.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Well, when it says the series.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Do you fail?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Do you fail an inspection if there's a snake, you
would think so, like, I've never seen a snake in
a kitchen.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
When any critter cause issues with your grade? Yes, yes,
oh with a snake, it's like, eh, think of the
environment in which this restaurant is located. Okay, When she
says she recalls workers removing the snake with a stick,
(04:49):
was that like the worker snake stick.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Oh, so they have one for.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Hitting it with or trying to pick it up with
or did someone run outside and get an actual limb
from She said workers.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Tried to remove the baby snake with a stick, but
then another customer just grabbed it and put it outside.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Not me.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
For either.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I'm not getting a stick. I'm not you know what,
I Am getting the f out of there, and you
know I'm not paying. At that point, you may as
well tell me the power went out, there's a snake
falling out of the ceiling.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
You know what. I gotta look at their reviews. The
story went clearly viral enough.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah, I mean People magazine was all over.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
It that perhaps there are people reviewing them that have
never gone.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh, you know what, it's doing well? Four point two.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
That's good, Steven says, definitely coming in for the margaritas.
But then this next one is assuming there was a
health violation.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
There is a health violation. You didn't know there's a
snake falling through the ceiling.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
You wondered if that would lead to to.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Get you a failing grade. True, you just don't hear
about it. But I'm telling you, I bet there are
more snakes.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Than we than we than we think.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Uh so this says no names. Here we go again.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
What's her name? Okay?
Speaker 5 (06:19):
I used to work for a service company for them,
and it was never the cleanest. The snake was probably
going after a roadent.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
But I mean that makes sense. Wild would a snake
be there?
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Uh? Like you said, I guess maybe it could be
near a space like yeah, okay, whatever Christen snake porn
things she was showing us.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Oh the snake pile.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
If that was happening nearby the restaurant, you'd say, well,
I kind of understand how some ended up here.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah. No, because there was a big ball of snake
having sex looking for the.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I waka.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Pineapple margerite.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I try not.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Oh it comes with a snake?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Is that snake small enough that you would have grabbed
it and flung it off your nose?
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Now?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Would you have gotten up and run?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I would not be sitting at that table?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
How did it fall through the ceiling?
Speaker 5 (07:25):
The people on people dot com commenting are not the kindest.
She was left traumatized. Traumatized my hind end Ooh.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Language's just say my ass Diane.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Please.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
This one says not buying it not buying. Do they
think it's one of those cases where we've seen people
have put.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I just threw uh just threw a roach down on my.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Foot, or they put glass in their meals or whatever.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
That would pretty proof you.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
But we have seen like, yes, hair mice before, yes,
a dead mouse.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
The whole time I was believing the situation. Are we
just so quick to think that everybody everybody's everyone else?
Everyone's a shy Oh and Cindi lu who said and
she could take a picture like traumatized my hinh end.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Neither of these people are part of the three plus
floaters club.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
I bet the woman having the margarita was hmmm.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I at no point did I not believe the story?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
I totally bought the story. There's a picture. Yeah, what
did you say? The restaurant went on record with that
it was probably chasing a rodent?
Speaker 5 (08:45):
No, no, or did they not speak?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Has the restaurant not said anything?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The restaurant offered to move her to a booth. That's her,
that's her saying she just wanted to leave quickly, right.
The restaurant, when reached out to by eight News, said
they were aware of the situation.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
The snake.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
They said, likely got into the restaurant through the air
conditioning unit. And then they asked what precautions were now
in place to prevent this from happening to another customer,
to which they said nothing. So now they they looked
at like the Virginia Department of Health.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Oh boy, previous inspection. I know somebody that works for
a service agency that used to go by there and.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
They had some you know, cracked floor tile. Oh, stop it,
broken handles, that's part of the.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Arm No, no, no, did Diane say that was that
part of the.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Broken handles, missing ceiling tiles, dis room, cracked floor tiles,
leaky ceiling tiles.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Whoa, that's not good.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But these viol relations were corrected when they went back
to reinspect six days later.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Thank you, good, thank you. But it definitely happened, clearly. Yeah,
the restaurant didn't say it was not according to people.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Do if they're saying, oh, probably got in through the
air conditions.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
You know it didn't come from her puppet.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Now right line one, Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Hey is this me?
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Who's this?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Now?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
I'll keep the name off. White said, do not call
and tell this story. Okay, three weeks ago, We're gonna
go fishing in the morning. Uh, four am. I walked
down to the downstairs bathroom, opened the door. Turns out
it's like a five foot snake on the floor in
your bathroom the bathroom on the bathroom floor. I mean,
(10:53):
I let out like a yelled and then I'm like, yeah,
I gotta get this thing, man. I mean, I can't
just run out the house. I gotta Yeah, I can't
let him crawl into a couch. So end up going
and in a closet. We have a swisher. It's like,
I don't know, a five foot pole with a little
(11:13):
mop on the end.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Oh yeah, those arettle swisher valves or whatever.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Yeah, but they aren't very firm. So I fishbout it
and this is like.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
A half bat.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
They look bad. So I'm in there clucking with that thing,
and all of a sudden, the wife's like, hey, what's
going on? Like, hey, I'm fighting a snight. What the
how do you think I'm doing. It's four in the morning.
I'm hitting this thing. I get him out. I felt
(11:45):
like a hockey player. I kind of like scooed him
out into the kitchen floor and I'm hitting him with
this swisher and it's not doing anything, and all of
a sudden, I pin him under it, and I'm like, hey,
what can I do? And White's all after me leaving
my shoes around. Well, I had a tennis shoe and
I grabbed it and I start hitting that snake in
(12:07):
the as hard as I can hit it, but it's
it's not doing anything to it. It's still squirming, and
then it starts to bite the heel of my shoes.
It does a small is not a small shoe. It's
like a fourteen tennis shoe. But I guess it's got
too much give in it. I'm hitting on this thing
(12:29):
and I feel like I'm getting rope a dope. George
r I p rest this is going on for it.
Let's say it felt like a long time. But let's
say two minutes, three minutes. I'm I'm winded right and
I'm sitting there and the snake is curled around the
(12:50):
shoe and I'm like, how am I going to get
this thing? And as a pair of ice tongs up
on the counter, I get those and I getting behind
the heads real tight and he unwies off the shoe.
When he does about five wraps on my forearm.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
What on your on your arm?
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Beacon out?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Oh my god, dude.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
And again it's like, hey, where's the wife. I thought
we're going fishing. It's now about four point thirty. Come on,
I mean I'm raising hell downstairs.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Come on. Okay.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Finally I'm like, I go outside, I detached garage. I
sling it off my arm, get it with a shovel.
And the weird thing is, I mean I don't have
a stitch of clothes on the whole time.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You're the best, You're the best show man. Hey, appreciate it.
Thank you, sir, thank you. Oh my god, it's great.
What would you do It's four point thirty in the morning.
You walk into the bathroom and there's a five foot steak.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Well, great, the hell back out, shut the door, Call
an exterminator.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Do you have time? I'd call coast Guard Kurt. That'd
be my first thought.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I guess he's had a snake issue the no, but.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
He's way more outdoorsy and was in the military. Who
am I calling?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I was going to call for Lindsay Scott would tell
me Colleae exterminator.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Exterminator, Diane, it's four o'clock in the morning. I don't
have a stitch of clothes.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'll call and that door stay and shut until somebody
shows up.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
You don't think that the snake could slide right out
right down the turtle. I'm gonna get towels or something.
I would not be good too. Hi, elliot in the morning.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Excuse me?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yeah, Hi? Who's this?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Hey Toby from Richmond?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Hey, what's up, Toby?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Hey? I actually go through the restaurant quite often. I
actually live in Richmond, and it's sounds they it's right
near the Richman Airport is where the restaurant is.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
So wait a minute, So you go to this restaurant
even with their issue, Well.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
They haven't had snake issues before. But yeah, I'm going
to the restaurant quite a few times with my friends.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Is it Is it an nice place?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
It is a nice place. Yeah, it is a nice place.
Of you know, the staff are very nice. It was
real and I think here, but you know, it's not
a Mexican restaurant. If you don't have any cracked tiles in.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
It, well you know what, thank you?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Oh you know what.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I feel like I've seen tiles. It like old chee
cheese and stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
They all, I wouldn't think that would be a major
health violation.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
You know what, I I don't care if the floor
is cracked.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I do care if there's mold, but yeah, I don't
care if the floor is cracked.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
But it's two different things. Four cracking mold. Mold can
actually need to actually die from mold enough.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, I mean I could trip on the crack in
the floor and bang my head and die.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
But we all know you're just getting free heat.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Absolutely well, what's very nice restaurant? I've done.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Myself?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Do I Now?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I drink myself a lot of moren we just when
I get the like band said, and pineapple money. It
does really good.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Actually good, there you go.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, all right, very good, thank you sir.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Yes from Otter. I'm in commercial pest control, and occasionally
snakes act like spider is in the way that they
will follow a food source and subsequently get stuck wherever
they wind up them saying though it was probably the HVAC,
does mean they maybe have areas that need to be sealed.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Line four, Hi, Elliott the morning.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
How're we going good?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Who's this ja? Yes?
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Jay?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
So?
Speaker 7 (16:27):
I used to work in a restaurant down in Old
Elicant City if you're familiar with the area.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Yeah, sure, and down there.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
There's a lot of trees and a lot of water. Well,
a Mexican restaurant down there that I worked at. On
multiple occasions we had maybe eight to ten foot black
snakes hanging from the ceiling over a table with people
not realizing it and us seeing it.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
You're kidding me, no, no.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Not not one bit.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
At least five times in the decade plus I worked there,
there were snakes in the rafters of the building that
people didn't see that we saw.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
What kind of ceiling is it? Where you would look
up and not see that?
Speaker 7 (17:05):
So you know how some of the restaurants do the
ceiling where it's like not finished, but it's painted black
and then you can see kind of like the ventilation.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
And all that.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Oh we call that an exposed ceiling.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Yeah, So that that's what it was. And the ceiling
was painted black, so it was really hard to see
the snake, but you could see him moving over top
of a table every now and again. And these weren't
these weren't little guys. They were they were big, old,
fat boys.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
All right, by the way, new routine and listen.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I'm sorry for the salt line, but it starts there tonight.
I will inspect ceilings when I go in to see
if there's snakes up there.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Dear God, dude, wow, just hang in there.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
But he'd landed on the location, yeah, because of the water.
I picture this playing as they're running around trying not
to catch the attention of the guests but also deal
with the moving ceiling.
