@@taps2k179 no you are thinking of the Daddy-long-legs Spider. The Huntsman spider is not considered to be dangerous spiders. they do possess venom, and a bite may cause some ill effects. However, they are quite reluctant to bite, and will usually try to run away rather than be aggressive.
@@taps2k179 if they were venomous I'd be dead. I used to catch them and carry them outside until eventually I got bit. Yeah it bloody hurts. Never been quite game after that to catch them. i ain't as fast as i once was!
Huntsman spiders are incredibly common in most parts of Australia. They look a lot like Tarantulas, but have little to no poison, and rarely bite. If you want to find one check behind your picture frames. They tend to lurk there, then come out at night to hunt down other spiders and insects in the home. While growing up in Australia every six months we'd do the Huntsman check by lifting all the picture frames in the house, and more likely than not we'd find one. As a personal story, in Australia kids are taught to check their shoes for spiders and snakes in kindergarten. You bang the heel hard on the ground a few times, and then the opening of the shoe afterward. Which in theory should dislodge anything inside it. Then reach your hand in the opening and feel around, just to confirm there's nothing inside. Little six year old me did the whole thing on my gumboots like a champ. Banged the shoe, and then reached inside to check like we'd been taught. Inside was something that felt like a piece of cloth. So of course I grabbed it, and pulled it out. It turned out to be a Huntsman spider, bigger than my hand. And I was squishing it. I can never recall the next hour or so after that. Apparently I screamed, and Mom found me staring blankly at nothing on the back porch. It didn't bite me, but did leave me with an enduring fear of spiders.
its always good to find them when you're driving, and he's just going to be in 1 of 2 places.... behind the visor when you flip it down, or on your seat belt. i got B, and screamed like a girl for a bit.
venom, not poison. If you die from spider poison then that means you've eaten a spider. When it comes to poisonous animals the simplest thing is to just dont eat or touch them.
shouldn't you aussie, even as kid, have already seen giant spiders like on a daily basis growing up? I'd imagine you would not fear spider, at least the poisonous ones.
Yes, I live in Sydney and Huntsmen spiders are quite common. I remember waking up and then fixing my bed and heard a big clunk on my wall when I shook the bed spread. Sure enough, it was a huge Huntsman who had spend the night with me. Didn't even give his name first, the cheeky bugger!
@@TheAmateurEditor they usually just come in depending on outside conditions. They are big but can squeeze through small openings. They tend mostly to sit up high on your walls and ceilings. I've seen some sit in the same spot for days. But if they have nothing to catch they don't last long.
@@NorsePJ Right, for a second there I thought it was a case of them sneaking in under the covers like a cat or dog. I'd have a heart attack of awoke to a spider that size practically spooning with me!
@@TheAmateurEditor I had one in the passenger seat I spied as I was driving in the outside lane of the Freeway. It stayed stock still.. thank christ..all the way home..when I gingerly turned to check it out, it really should have been wearing a seat belt, it was a big bugger. Worse is when you're driving into the sun, put the shade down and one drops into your lap.. or runs across the inside of the windscreen...
@Ricky Collins It's okay. The Bourne Supremacy DVD case made that mistake as well. Well...actually, the real mistake they made was putting the Academy Award winning part there, and basically trolling you by putting that tiny little cross above that part so that only then do they indicate it, essentially saying, "Psyche, he won it for writing, not acting, fool...your action hero didn't win crap".
Steve Harvey would die a funny death if they did that to him lol i can imagine his reaction *Ohh Lawd.. Lookee here.. What da hell is dat..dats a spider?!? Aw hell no, boi my ass was so scared i nearly dialled 9-9-10 up in here!*
The worst part of catching a Huntsman is you might break the poor lil things legs. Honestly, it’s not in-common just to leave em hangin out on the wall for a few days till they leave. Although sometimes you can feel em staring at you. They don’t really move much with the lights on. And when you’ve had a baby (maybe 2inches wide) to their teen years...ya get kinda attached. And when they go, you wonder how they’re doing.
I once flipped my couch on it's side trying to move it, and I heaved with my shoulder. I almost put my face on a bloody big huntsman that was just chilling on the back of my couch. My face was about an inch away, when I realised. That fuelled a few nightmares.
I encounter Huntsman spiders every day at my property in Menindee. They are rather fearful looking, but very shy. If they bite the pain is nothing worse than a mild bee sting. It will itch for a while, but after the swelling abates it's pretty much forgotten. I'd love to see Chris Hemsworth's reaction, however.

The Huntsman is popular in Australia, and although they are big and scary, they are one of the most timid spiders and don't normally bite unless provoked.
One ran across the wall straight towards me once and jumped FROM the wall INTO my lap. I literally threw my laptop across the room in my panic to run away. I don't need them to bite. They're still nightmares.
I'm Aussie and grew up with Huntsmen all around the place. Then I went to Alaska. You guys have Bears and Moose all around the place. Huntsmen aren't scary. Bears and moose, THAT's scary.
Doubtful, as they are arachnids and don't watch television or cinema like humans would. They also lack complex brains, capable of that type of thinking. The most they would do is scurry from them both or bite them. Since both Matt and Chris are humans, I suspect the spiders would treat their encounter with them as such, without specifically treating them as famous individuals.
It actually sounds kind of cute how the spider got comfy on the couch arm. Too bad he had to disturb it. lol. I love hearing Matt Damon tell stories. Wish he did a voice for the spider or something. I love his impressions.
Huntsman spiders are so friendly. I have had to take many out of my classes in High School and they would just walk onto your hands and just rest there. They are a beauty. They don’t do much damage.

The "gooday huntsman, how are you?" Line is pretty much the end of every story I have ever heard about how Australians deal with the deadly wildlife that surrounds them.
Am Australian. Can confirm on the huntsman. Big hairy guys, but pretty harmless. Bite hurts a bit. Our church youth group guys went through exactly this story due to freaked out girls who nevertheless didn't want us to kill the thing.
The Huntsman spider is everywhere in Australia, though harmless they’re big in size, some can be huge, like dinner plates. They’re usually on the walls or ceiling catching insects, when trying to kill or catch them to put them outside & they fall & run under the sofa, not fun. The worst thing is when you’re in the car & one just suddenly crawls across the window shield, falls from the visor or is sitting on the dashboard, scares the hell out of you, I hate them!
I really would like to compliment Conan on his interviewing ability. And also Matt Damon for being a great, funny, and interesting guest. Very high quality work.
There are a couple of big, fluffy spiders in Australia that are good to have around. Another variety "black house spider" is great to have nseting around the windows and doors of the house. They take care of wasps, flies, and other spiders. Huntsmen prefer being inside, and usually hang out in the corners of rooms. They look way more intimidating than they are. If you don't like fast-moving creepy crawlies, you might not care for them.
Hah! I have one in my lounge room watching me eat cereal right at this very moment. It even follows me around the corner on the wall and watches me take a bath.. for real.
I love this story even if I hate spiders. LOL The fact Matt couldn't convince his wife to sit next to him and automatically she new something was behind her is priceless. Love to hear they have to deal with the normal every day spider things too. For me I will never go to Australia for sure. Spiders is the one thing that freaks me out almost more than sharks and crocodiles do.
matt damon calls chris hemsworth: how far are you right now? Chris in a typical Australian fashion will say: not too far, up the road: (translation 2 hours a way) only aussies will understand. haha
As an Australian who has at many Huntsman Spiders in my house, yeah, most of us don’t care. I have gone to sleep with one just above my bed head and it ended up on the other side of the room when I woke up... not sure if it took the ceiling to get there or crawled over me. I’ve accidentally stood on one under my little toe, causing it to lose a leg. I took it out and re-homed it in my garden. I had a couple visit me on the first day of a new job, one was crawling into my handbag and the over came up and over my computer monitor (only it turns out they were Wolf Spiders and are venomous). My worst experience though, far and away, was bringing the towels in off the clothes line, taking one straight into the bathroom, showered, wrapped the towel around me and felt something move against my stomach, only to unwrap myself and find a huntsman clinging to my bare midriff. Only time I have lost my cool with a spider.
Yep Harry Huntsman - they can come into my house and stay in the loungeroom, dining room or kitchen, but come down the hallway to the bedrooms and Harry you are caught and put outside!!!
Huntsman do seem to like bedrooms for some reason. They like to appear on the ceiling over the bed just before you turn off the light to roll over to sleep.
We have tarantulas where I live. They get very big. I've wary of them, but not really afraid of them. A full grown Huntsman, on the other hand... A tarantula's not a patch on a Huntsman. I would have screamed until my vocal chords exploded!
“Gooday, Huntsman. How are ya?”

Oh Matt love you could have just picked up the spider mate and taken it outside. 😂
Huntsman spiders are awesome! Sadly, there aren’t any in my place, but whenever I find one, I feel assured that it’ll kill any unwanted bugs for me.
Chris Hemsworth opened his door and said "Oh there you are Fluffy!".
As an Australian who has at many Huntsman Spiders in my house, yeah, most of us don’t care. I have gone to sleep with one just above my bed head and it ended up on the other side of the room when I woke up... not sure if it took the ceiling to get there or crawled over me. I’ve accidentally stood on one under my little toe, causing it to lose a leg. I took it out and re-homed it in my garden. I had a couple visit me on the first day of a new job, one was crawling into my handbag and the over came up and over my computer monitor (only it turns out they were Wolf Spiders and are venomous). My worst experience though, far and away, was bringing the towels in off the clothes line, taking one straight into the bathroom, showered, wrapped the towel around me and felt something move against my stomach, only to unwrap myself and find a huntsman clinging to my bare midriff. Only time I have lost my cool with a spider.
No most of us aussies freak out too. The wheres my dad comment was pretty acurate.
"Who in the hell would do something like that?"
Jesus Christ it's Jason Borne
Yep Harry Huntsman - they can come into my house and stay in the loungeroom, dining room or kitchen, but come down the hallway to the bedrooms and Harry you are caught and put outside!!!
As an Aussie, I can confirm that we do just go "g'day huntsman" although usually i name them and get sad when they eventually move out 🤣
I have too shake my hammock every few days because if I don’t there’s a couple just relaxing in there
Matt : sorry, I gotta put you outside.
Spider : well, you know. It's not your fault.
For everyone who is wondering how huntsman's spider looks....just imagine face hugger from alien.....that's the size of it
Or just watch 'I'm a Celebrity get me out of here'..they have enough crawling all over ppl...lol
😳 please stop, now I’m traumatized 😖
Huntsman spiders are magnificent. So long as you can see them they are not a problem.
Huntsman do seem to like bedrooms for some reason. They like to appear on the ceiling over the bed just before you turn off the light to roll over to sleep.
We have tarantulas where I live. They get very big. I've wary of them, but not really afraid of them. A full grown Huntsman, on the other hand... A tarantula's not a patch on a Huntsman. I would have screamed until my vocal chords exploded!
You gotta love Matt.
I'm the guy who has to deal with the spider. Hahaha 🤣
Maattt😍😍😍😍😘😘
I have a large huntsman that lives in the bathroom, hangs out around the night-light - love having it there to eat everything else 😁
Mat Damon like his mate from down under, Chris, Hemsworth both so likeable!!
A few months ago, a huntsman ran under my bed and hid for 4 nights... Time to set fire to the place and move, I say.
you know what we desperately need? a matt damon and chris hemsworth movie
we love the huntsman spideys
Just to clarify, some of us Australians do not handle huntsmans well lol.. and believe me, those big buggers can jump!
Spider on door step: ...
Chris Hemsworth opens door: oh, g'day mate, come on in, coffee's on...
He has just described every Australian’s daily routine.
Matt Damon is the one of the coolest actor in Hollywood..
