The race that stops ... well, everything: The Covid Cup

Forget it - it's been usurped.

The man who has made fake race calls his own, Jon Vertigan, has raised the binoculars and called The Covid Cup, the race that stops the world!

You may be quite familiar with some of the "horses": Nothing on Netflix, I'm Bored and even Bag of Chips and Putting on Weight.

Vertigan, a radio host from Warrnambool in Victoria's south-west who appears on morning show Sunrise, weaves many more now everyday terms into the race call.

We won't spoil it - listen for yourself.

It's not the first time his videos have gone viral, with previous calls about pregnancy, Easter family holidays and parenting all becoming online hits.
