Speaker 2 (00:47):
What have we got in front of us here?
Speaker 6 (00:48):
This, I think is this is the latest test for
Elon's rocket ship, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
This is SpaceX. It didn't work. They all died, all
these ostriches are. It's actually very sad. It's really sad
that you're showing us this picture.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
Three ostriches dead, three men in cowboy hats dead, the
brooms they didn't make it either.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Everything's gone.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah, it's three ostriches dragging three chariots.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Made of I believe they're made of forty four gallon drums.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's kind of like bicycle wheels,
or maybe they're like repurposed wheelchairs.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
There's a there's a big going on there. You love
the ornithological is it ornithological world?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
You love ornithology. You love the flying creatures. Well, this
is not one of them.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
That's why I didn't That's what I didn't take off.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yeah, it was like they're flightless.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
They're going to carry that Pyloine and he's like.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Look out big they are. They're stretching up up to
the heavens already looking at their heads.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
He's better not always elin. Jess, you love birds? Is
this this is legal?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
This is your wedding, isn't it?
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Jes?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
This was your wedding? There you are and she look beautiful.
That's Jess in the middle.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Is this illegal? It feels like this is just like.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
The state of where this is happening.
Speaker 8 (02:05):
But it looks like maybe it depends on how they
treat the ostrich afterwards. You know, do they how much
training do they get and do they get nice feed
afterwards and or do they just get shot, you know.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
So.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Yeah, every rate they can't do these races that often
just out of habit, they just shoot them no matter what.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
They started with a competition of one hundred and they
just ended just three. Now because now have all been
involved too many times.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Look at their thighs. Look at those gorgeous, shapely thighs.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
They do have very much stacked.
Speaker 8 (02:47):
Well these are yeah, they're racing ostriches, so yeah, they've
been bred to have, you know, beautiful thoughts.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
How the hell do you train in ostrich.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Just let them run around?
Speaker 8 (02:57):
No, well, there's obviously there's a chariot ostriches, so you'd
spend a bit of time training them. Like you're just
putting them in a harness first and then you just
kind of walk behind them.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
With like that's once you see where a mum gets
a kid called Troy at the supermarket and they just
go Troy and they've got them on like that little
weird are the ones because Troy can't be trusted.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I quite like one of them. But for me let
around like that, that'd be good.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
To be good, wouldn't Yeah, just like.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
I'm not going to get lost.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
I feel secure A little backpack.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Monkey backpack, but with it like a with you know,
a leash at the end of the leash. Yeah, yeah, okay, and.
Speaker 8 (03:36):
Then where you can just like let your arms loose,
so just lean forward.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I don't have to make any decisions in a shopping center. Great.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's the best.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
When you see a kid who's ten times his name
is be Troy, and he's got a monkey backpacks on
and his arms are flailing, but his chest is more
forward than his entire head.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
That's the best thing in the world. And all these
ostriches are called Troy I think. I mean in terms
of training, like they're not doing much other they're just running.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I think you're just whacking with the broom. And then
they're trying.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
To get away from the forty four gallon drums and
the men with the brooms escape running racist escape.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Yeah it's but it's the broom for whipping or is
it for like showing them which way to go?
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I think it's for whipping. Look at how that guy's
holding that. He's not like what you think he's going.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Over there that way.
Speaker 8 (04:30):
Yeah, they're not even the others aren't even holding their brooms.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
No, No, the guy in the front, I mean he's
got his hand over the top of his hat there
and pushing it down like he's in shame of his
own actions.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yeah, he's like, no, no, no, delete it, delete it. Don't
like fun of it on.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
A podcast, I'm gallon drum in front of me.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I don't know. It sounds like a good idea. Well
drunk when we came up with his idea.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I didn't want to do this. Jess just said I
wanted to be real special day.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
And this wasn't it my wedding. Everybody knows.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
It was.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
It was closed. It did have a carriage, Yeah I did.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
I did because I did arrive in a carriage on
my wedding, But it wasn't a forty four gallon drum.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
And had it been dragged by ostriches, would it have
improved the day?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
It might have been faster.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yeah, sped things up a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Well, yeah, because on the day the.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
I had a horse pulling the carriage and it was
a bit old school and it was supposed to trot
and it just walked. So what it should have taken
five minutes took about ten.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
It was pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Just the songs just are the arrival songs.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Just on loop.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
Yeah, because the arrival song was being sung live and
She'll be coming around the mountain when she comes, and
there was a few extra verses at it.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
But it was great. I had was so late.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
I had the perfect view actually, because you could see
where the singer, like the sort of the stage essentially
was kind of at the house, which was facing this way,
and then there was like a bit of like you know,
bush kind of plants, and then Jess was coming from
very far away this way and I could see they
couldn't see how far away she was, but where we
(06:29):
were standing looking.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
You could see.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
You're just like, oh, this is going to be the
longest version of She'll be coming around the mountain.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
It was so funny.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
It's in the title when she comes.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
When she comes, She's coming, and then everyone was like
she is coming, communicating.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Going she's coming, She's.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
God, almost forgot the picture.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
So yeah, if we had ostriches would have got there
lot quicker. I had a friend once that rode in Ostridge.
Not really, it's so I think it was in South Africa,
and it was you know how sometimes in years gone by,
where you just you're somewhere and there's an opportunity to
do something and you don't really think about whether it's
(07:19):
right or.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Wronghant like that.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I don't write elephants now, it's bad. Yeah, in the
nineties were all riding elephants around Brunswick.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
But I had a friend that wrote an ostrich and
es actually a friend's sister, and she.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
A tiny person. She like Kermit the Frog, like, no,
ostriches are quite big. Well, they've got.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
But it's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my
life because she just couldn't. There's no control, you just
they just put you on the back of this ostriche
and then kind of.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Like a fuck, how long did she stay on the ostridge?
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Very it's less riding in ostrichen more being bucked off anstige.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
This is this seems like an insane question. But did
she say whether.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Or not it was comfortable because the plumage looks like
it's kind of like got built in kind of a
nice saddlite Like that's a comfy looking right, yeah, cushions.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
I don't think she got time to think about how
comfortable it was.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Soon ostrichef now off the office ostrich and feeling a
little bit shameful for it. It feels like this would
probably be in America, wouldn't it do?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
It feels very very it's either like America. It's obviously
cowboy type of place. It could be like Mexico maybe,
or like, could.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It be a Queensland.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
It could it could be Queensland, but Tasmania.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
They wouldn't do this in Tasmania.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It looks to no, it's a warm weather sport obviously.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Yeah, the season's just finished.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
I'm quite impressed with the with the Barriots and how
they've made them, because too, I like.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, yeah, I mean they're good, but they do feel
like they'd be more serviceable with a larger animal, like
a Clydesdale rather than a bird.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Well, you have different because they're made out of steal.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
They're clearly made out of it's a.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Forty four gallon drum. I mean, now they're not that
would be Actually they're sort.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Of designed really to be quite movable forty four gallon drum. Yeah,
there are alsos of things of the forty four gallon drum.
They're actually they're fantastic. Yeah, yeah, I love a good
drum and actually it's quite impressive. I think these these
Each one of these chariots has been made out of
a single drum because they've taken the top and they've
made the and the wheel around it.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Yeah yeah, but of the same drum. So it's actually very.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I'm a lesbian.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Around a forty four calendar.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
This is why I wanted to doing.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Alright, are we ready to find out where this picture
actually comes from?
Speaker 8 (10:01):
No, no, I don't tell us.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
I don't want to know.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Well, shut the book on this and let everybody's imagination.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
So I had maybe another question about something on there,
but now because.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I was one of my questions was, you know, not
like they say you can lead a horse with a carrot, right,
because you know, use the carrot rather than the whip.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
What do you use How would you.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Incentivize well, the broom The broom looks like a crop
like they're using that to beat?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, so what's the carrot for an ostrich?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I think for the one at the back, just the satisfaction?
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Yeah, I want to I'm curious to know if osages
like are they pack animal? Like?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Do they do they go in a herd?
Speaker 8 (10:45):
Because you know, horses when they're when they're going along,
you know, they would just all run together.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
If they go far enough.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
But just like that, I don't know. But grain do
they eat grain? Is that what they like?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Maybe it's carrot. Maybe they're like carrots.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
I don't know. I've got no idea what an ostrich
would eat.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
I think they did like grains and bugs and things.
I think they're eating all sorts of stuffing.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah, worms and worms and yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Like a chicken, so like a jiganda chicken. Yeah, because
look they're they're big busses. That means they're consuming a lot.
And you'd have to think they're on a high protein diet.
So yeah, yeah, that's a high protein diet. I don't
think they just get.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
It on the head by an ostrich once heads.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, maybe it's the carrots Geraldine's head.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Yeah, just picked picked the top of What happened when
it when it did bleed?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Was it?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
No?
Speaker 5 (11:38):
No, no, no?
Speaker 8 (11:39):
And it was I was on the other side of
the fence, and I was trying to get a selfie
with it.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
And then when I was a kid, I was eating
a Hamburger nature enclosure with my parents, and I was
really excited about eating ham because we were allowed to
eat stuff like that when I was a kid, because
you know, my parents are assholes, and so.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Anyways, take you about places. Yeah, making me enjoy my
life and seeing new things.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
And I was enjoying this hamburger, and my mom said,
go and get a photo next to the emu, and
I went, okay. I went up to the fence and
the EMU stile my hamburger and each I was I had,
beaturing it and everything. I remember really clearly what it had.
I was only four at the time. It's a long
time ago.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
And it's obviously I can still there's still trauma there,
move through.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Working through.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
This has been a wonderful session. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah you can. You're a big boy.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Now you can buy your own hamburgers. You can have
as many hamburgers as you like.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Before you finish up. Ostages live in small herds of twelve.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Small herds of twelve, not exactly, but around that. So
we have got twelve. Every time they don't kill the
thirteenth member.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
So they hang. Yeah, they hang around, but yeah, like hobbits.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yeah, they hang in a group of twelve. The dirty doesn't.
So these guys would have come from a dirty doesn't
so there's nine. There's nine of them that have are
either in front. They're either at the front of the
third one there, or.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
They're they're watching on they're cheering.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Yeah, that one of them's taken this photo.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
All right, let's find out where this is from.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Did they guess it right? The reveal is coming right up.
Want more pitch discussions, check out our back catalog.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
At a night race at Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey,
Okay in twenty.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Thirteen, so not really that long ago.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Ostriches compete for the highest speed. In case you were wondering,
Ostriches can run up to seventy kilometers per hour, and
the average racehorse might reach around sixty to eighty kilometers
per hour, so roughly the same as.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
A thoroughbred racehorse. Wow.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Also worth noting that a camel race was scheduled for
the same night, and they can run up to sixty
five kilometers per hour, So they have camel races scheduled
for that night and then ostriches. So it's obviously just
a place.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
In New Jesus goes, let's just race some weird ship.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
When you say scheduled, did they not have it in
the end all, I.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Think they hit a hump and they didn't. I knew,
I knew you were gonna I knew you were going
to do that to me. As I was going, I
was going to shut you down.
