According to CNN's translation, Mantikos was heard addressing studio anchor Giorgos Papadakis saying, "Good morning, we have an issue. Giorgos can you hear me. We have a pig here that has been chasing us since this morning ... folks sorry I can't stand because it's biting me."
In the studio, Mantikos' colleagues laughed out loud as they couldn't resist cracking jokes. Anchor Giorgos Papadakis said, "Lazos, because it's a tragic issue and we are counting our wounds in Kineta, try and work things out with the female pig."
