WEBVTT - FULL: Cow Mega-Magnet 0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:06.560 Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:11.840 Couldn't go past barbecue shapes, Yep, I could be a 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:12.480 pig in a racer. 0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:15.520 Before there was top gun, there was top campy the 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.919 Christian O'Connell Show Gold one oh four point three. You 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.919 still stand by those words. Yes, there's been a flurry 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.240 of activity in the last twenty four hours about you 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:26.960 stating on the record that you could seek on a pig. 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.240 I am one hundred percent committed. First, you're going to 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:33.360 be committed mentally, which I am. I haven't been running yet. 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.199 Last night you wasked for seven days training, which is 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.760 ludicrous right Otherwise, why don't these Olympians don't pull the 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:41.720 training for four years and a week before like the 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.239 Rio Games, putting on the running shoes and then go 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.479 for a job. Then, so you didn't even train yesterday 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:47.400 because she said it was too wet. 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.959 You just worry about your part. Finally he could run 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.320 in a straight line. I'll worry about my training. 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.200 How's there been any doubt creep in Nope? 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.520 Oh well, yes, I took the stairs up this morning 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.440 instead of the elevator, and I was a bit puffed 0:00:59.440 --> 0:00:59.880 at the top of the. 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:01.920 Just going up two flights to stay. 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.080 But I tried to go quite fast, but pig is fast. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.520 The reason why Jack has thrown his hat in the 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.920 ring that he is faster than a pig over the 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.199 distance of a mile is because yesterday we were talking 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.120 about the fact that apparently a pig will run a 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:20.080 seven minute or under seven minute mile. They're fast, really fast. 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:20.640 Which is quite good. 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:22.959 But in my heyday, I think I could have beaten that, 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:24.840 And I reckon, it won't take me long to get 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:25.679 back to my heyday. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.880 What do you reckon, pats Jack versus pig. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.080 Well, I did back him yesterday, but now I'm having doubts. 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:32.160 No, don't doubt me. 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.959 You can't be put in training off just who's. 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:35.240 A bit weird? 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.520 No getting pigs. You know he was out there training 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:41.560 yesterday the pigs. I was just going through the text 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.280 that came into the show after the end of the 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.360 show yesterday, and Christian I just heard on the show 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.040 early about Jack wanting to race a pig. Can we 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:50.960 just take a moment and go, aren't we lucky? This 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.240 is apparently our job. Anyway, If Jack was ever in 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.120 the outback and he came across a wild pig known 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.320 as a bristle and got chased by it. There's no 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.120 way he would outrun it. Up the nearest tree is 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.120 the only way he would survive. Rob signs off of this. 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:10.000 Believe me, it's true. He's been there. He's up a 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.600 tree right now sending it. He's had to live up there, 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.560 he's had to move his family up that trip for 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.359 that pig that's just waiting them out down the bottom. 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.359 No, I really think I am faster than any type 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.200 of pig, wild or domesticated. 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:23.679 No way you're going to do it. You will be 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:24.919 quicker than that. Help me. 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.480 I feed off the doubt. 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:33.200 It's like Michael Jordan, doubt this guy at your peril. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.520 I'm just looking at some of the other text by 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.040 the way, that came in after the show yesterday. Hi there, 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.840 my name is Darren and I've been kicked in the 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.400 head by Chuck Norris. Why the hell do we get 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.880 that on air? That is amazing? His week is clean 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:45.240 to fame. 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:46.000 That's awesome. 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.400 He was kicked in the head by Chuck Norris and 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.680 another guy here. This was yesterday's showhen we're doing our 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.399 week is Clain to fain. My brother Corey brought ex 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.840 Prime Minister. We've had John Howard on the weekend than 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.560 quite a few more than any other former PM. My 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:04.160 brother Corey brought X Prime Minister John Howard's brother's dog. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.280 We just read that again. My brother Corey brought X 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.799 Prime Minister John Howard's not John Howard's dog, John Howard's 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.880 brother's dog. And yes, Christian, I have patted that dog. 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.320 Thank you so much for clearing that up. All right, 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.160 we'll tell you about to our today's show coming up 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.440 next on Gold one oh four point three. Good morning, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.800 it's ten minutes past six. The big thing we need 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.200 to ask you today then, do you have a pig 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.520 that jack can race. That's what we need from you today. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.679 Just that the Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:36.240 We'll come back to the pig race. But patucer Rio 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.200 has got a chilling fact about a wild pig and 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.040 how quick they are. 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.040 Jackie know, I'm your biggest supporter, but you're not going 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.680 to beat a wild pig. They can reach their top 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.080 speed within just a few strides, and they can hit 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.240 a top speed of forty eight kilometers an hour fifty 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.040 k Now, that is fast, which means they would cover 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.520 one hundred meters in seven and a half seconds, which 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.760 is two seconds faster than Usain Bolts meet a record. 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:01.840 I don't think I can beat that. 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.880 No, wild pick wild pig out races you every day. 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.360 The good thing about a while pig, though, is you 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.680 can't corral it to race me. You have to go domesticated. 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.800 Nice use of the word corral. So we're getting in 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.520 the whole language now when I'm involved in pig racing. 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.599 Next week in my house is big week. It's Ruby, 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.120 our eldest daughter. It's her formal next Friday. And this 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.400 is obviously think doesn't really happen in the UK. You 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.440 don't really have now balls and stuff like that. But 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.880 the formal is a It's a big sort of right 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.000 of passage here, isn't it. 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.400 Definitely They always stuck out at the end of the year. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.080 And the whole thing was if you play up at 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.960 the formal, you can't come in and do your exams. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:35.640 Oh is that right? 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.480 So to make the kids behave Yeah, I'm. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.679 Wondering why it's at this point in the year, because 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.000 she's in the year twelve. All the mates they're midway 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:47.480 through these really intense exams. Do they need king size hangovers? 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.760 Really that right now? Or the pressure? Maybe they do? 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.760 But do you two? You must you vividly remember, like 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.320 the sort of carry on beforehand for your formally. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.760 I do, and I've actually recently looked back at the 0:04:58.760 --> 0:04:59.320 photos of me. 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.360 Did you hire a suit?

He didn't end up 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.080 going because I thought it was a bit reckless to 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.440 take him to. You were right, But they've come and 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.560 us because he used them in Top Gun yesterday. 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.280 So how was he during the movie because it's like 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:49.480 an hour fifty. 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.520 Yeah, she pointed him forward so that he could watch 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.760
