WWE Hall of Famer and AEW talent Jake “The Snake” Roberts recently delved into various subjects on his “The Snake Pit” podcast. In one captivating tale, the WWE Hall of Famer recounted a life-threatening car ride with “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, a story that involved a rogue snake and a high-speed encounter with police. He said,
“We were driving down the road smoking a joint, and all of a sudden, Duggan starts speeding up. I’m like, Hey, dude, you better lighten the f*ck up, You know, he’s doing 80 now. He’s doing 90, a hundred, 110. I’m like, Jim, what the f*ck are you doing, man? You just got busted about six months ago. He tried to get us pulled over again. He’s like, it’s not me, it’s your f*cking snake.”
Amidst their high-speed journey, Roberts discovered the cause of Duggan’s erratic behavior – the rogue snake had escaped its confines and was causing chaos within the car. He stated.
“What? And I looked over there and sure enough, the snake had gotten out of the bag and came up underneath the seat and had wrapped itself around the gas pedal and the brake shit. So when Jim tried to put their foot on the brake, the snake tried to bite him in the nuts. Yeah. So he, Jim, slowed down to about 70 and crawled out of the seat, And, and left me up there with the f*cking snake in the car. So we finally got pulled over, and we both jumped out. We’re mad as f*ck, man. Both jumped out and grabbed the bag outta the backseat. Now we’re trying to get the fucking snake loose and he’s not wanting to come loose. And we just start jerking on him, man. And he’s a mad son of a bitch, man. It took about 10 minutes of us jerking on him to get him cut, to let loose, and to come out. I grabbed the f*cking head, Man, he is got his mouth open, trying to bite me. I shoved the f*cking snake in the bag, tie the bag off, and throw it in the back seat. We hop in the car and drive on.”
In the aftermath, Roberts recounted how the police pulled them over shortly thereafter, who were intimated about “two great big hairy guys fighting a 30-foot Anaconda on the side of the road,” evidently by a call from some restaurant. He said,
“We get about 10 miles down the road. Cops like, f*ck, man. What the f*ck? So the cop comes up and we get out of the car because we’ve been smoking, and we don’t want him to smell the car. And he told us, just hold on, boys, hold on right there. Y’all just get outta the road, say, I pulled on over ’cause I gotta know something. What’s that? Do you have a 30-foot Anaconda in your car? What? Do you have a 30-foot Anaconda in your car? It’s an easy question. Did you get an answer? I said, yes, sir, I got an answer. I said it’s not an Anaconda, it’s a Python, but he’s not 30 feet. He’s only about 15, And he said, okay. That’s all I was wanting to know because we got a, got a phone call from a restaurant about 10 miles back, and they said that two great big hairy guys was fighting a 30-foot Anaconda on the side of the road, and evidently, we were right in front of a f*cking restaurant and didn’t even know it. Can you imagine being in that restaurant and eating and looking up and then seeing two f**king guys fighting with this f**king huge ass snake?”
