You can assume alcohol was involved. I'da never guessed.
Sometimes people ask me "Bill, how drunk have you ever been in your life? Knee-walkin', snot-slingin', commode-huggin' drunk, trying to call Ralph O'Roarke from the bottom of a toilet bowl?" And I can honestly answer, "Well, I've been drunk before, but never drunk enough to attempt to aspirate a rattlesnake." It's a benchmark of sorts.

Allow me to be the first to predict that they get back together because of this. As far as he’s concerned, she saved his life by being fashionably late, and therefore “the only sober one at the party.” As far as she’s concerned, hey, he’s a celebrity now...

I just realized something. That idiot commentator called that an eastern diamondback, which don't even inhabit Oregon. That snake was an adult PYGMY rattler, which can grow to about 20" or so. The coloration, lack of an arrohead-shaped head and only a single button rattle give it away. Their venom is actually a good bit more potend than diamondbacks but the small venom gland size of the snake tends to even things out.
