1
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: All right, emergency episode of the Mad Monday podcast. This

2
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: is coming out on a Wednesday afternoon. Look, if you

3
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast, you're probably aware of the Hello

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Sport podcast.

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: You probably listened to their latest episode.

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: But they have come up with a pitch to reward

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: the efforts of our very own Mitch Barnette and missing

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: the birth of his second child to go over there

9
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: and be in State of Origin camp. So I wanted

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: to see if we could lend a hand with that.

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: So on the Agenda podcast earlier this morning, we had

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: a chat to Tommy Birmingham from the hellow Sport podcast.

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, I know who's going to

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: enjoy this. It's the Mad Monday audience. So without any

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: further ado, here's our chat from the Agenda podcast with

16
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: Tom Birmingham from Hellowsport. Well, it's a great pleasure to

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: welcome our dear friend from across the ditch from the

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: hellow Sport podcast, Tom Birmingham, get a Tom Hay getting

19
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: on this afternoon.

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 3: Mate, very very well, thanks for having us. How are

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: you guys doing, Yeah, we're.

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Doing very very well. Thanks mate, State of Origin tonight.

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Obviously you're a proud new South Welshman over there, and

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: I see that it's caught your eye that our beloved

25
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: Mitch Barnett has actually missed the birth of his second son.

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: Just the whole pads at training across the ditch. Let's

27
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: call you right, didn't it?

28
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 3: Oh? Absolutely did. We're calling him mana much from across

29
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: the Dutch. Yeah. And also just we are new South Welshman,

30
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: but myself and Eddie who's my cost on the show,

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: both half key we so I just feel like mentioning

32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: that off the top, maybe just to ingratiate ourselves further

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: with your audience. Look, it was made apparent to us

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: after Mitch got selected in the second game that he

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: missed the birth of his child, and we were like, oh,

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: that's I mean, obviously that's incredible. But then as the

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: story developed, it was like he actually a kid been

38
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: born for a couple of weeks. He missed the birth

39
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: of his second child to literally come and train with

40
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: the boys, not on game day, not, I think, man,

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: just to hold pads, run through some plays and I

42
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: just think that's New South Wales spirit through and through. Well.

43
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: I've thought this from the moment that he got that

44
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: he got named into the squad. I was like, Mitch

45
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: bhaniit as a state of origin player. You know, he's

46
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: got all of the things. I think he's raised on

47
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: a dairy farm out in rural New South Wales. I

48
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: couldn't tell you where. And I was like, that is

49
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: the kind of man that you need in your food pack.

50
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: And I think you and Edie came up with a

51
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: plan to reward him in some way for that.

52
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Look, I mean we sort of we

53
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: were just trying to think about how we could give

54
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: back to a man who's, you know, given everything to

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 3: the state. Now, you could argue that if you've seen

56
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 3: one childbirth, you've seen them all. Maybe that's true. I

57
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 3: don't know, but we felt like we needed to do

58
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: something for him. So we're in the process of basically

59
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: just trying to organize almost an obnoxious amount of Hauge's

60
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: nappies to be delivered to worries training basically just a

61
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: way to say thank you, see what we can do

62
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: to maybe just ease the strain at home. Having a

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: couple of kids myself, nappies and wipes a commodity, So

64
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: we sort of feel like that just will do our part.

65
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Am I right and thinking if I got the mets

66
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: right on this, I think the metric was it was

67
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: tackles times meters run plus a fuckload.

68
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: Correct. Now, you know it's not exactly an exact it's

69
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: not an exact science necessarily, but tackles times meters times

70
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: of fuckload is the metric we're going off. So it'll

71
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: be interesting to see how that shakes out after the night.

72
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to entirely depend on how many minutes

73
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: he gets and also what.

74
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: Exactly a fuckload is?

75
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: What the I know you got Jacko on from the

76
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: Warriors to help facilitate a little bit of the logistics.

77
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: He mentioned, why don't you just give him the money

78
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: and then he could buy the stuff himself. I don't

79
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: think that's the spirit of what you were trying to

80
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: do here. I think it's about obviously as a as

81
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: a good half key to yourself. You know, it's about

82
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: the koha. It's about the gift and the act of

83
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: gift giving. And so I think in that spirit, how

84
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: how far along the road are you with us?

85
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: Do you need a hand?

86
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: We've got a ute. I mean, it's got fuck all

87
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: storage in the back of it. But we've got straps

88
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: and stuff. Do you need someone to pick it up

89
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: at customs and take it to the training facility.

90
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: Honestly, this couldn't have come at a better time. Initially

91
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 3: we reached out to Huggy you thinking, you know, maybe

92
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: we could help them, help help a good news story,

93
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: get Huggies involved, and they gave us one of a

94
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 3: great parning offs of all time. As is, they're right,

95
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: But obviously they will come to root the day and

96
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 3: they see, you know, the success of this gesture. But look,

97
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: if you got it'd be fantastic. We were, we were,

98
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: we were considering flying them over there. Then I thought

99
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: it's probably just easy to buy them on the ground

100
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: in New Zealand. But you're right, Jacko will be getting

101
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: none of our money, that's for damn sure.

102
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: Well he's probably going to siphon some off anyway.

103
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: We've just got as a concern.

104
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: We've just had a costco open up here in New Zealand.

105
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that's probably the way to go in

106
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: terms of buying in bulk. Don't why don't we take

107
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: our ut It's a nineteen ninety six Ford falcon yute

108
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: sacked out. We have to take it to a dodgy

109
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: workshop to get the regio over here. But why don't

110
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: we take that out to Costco get meters times tackles

111
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: times a fuck load worth of nappies and then drive

112
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 1: them out to South Auckland and deliver them and deliver

113
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: them to muna mitch from across the ditch when he

114
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: gets back.

115
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 3: That sounds like a fantastic idea now, where if you

116
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 3: can give us the details of this, Costco happy to,

117
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: we'll get on the front foot and make the purchase

118
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: for you and then just have it all set up

119
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: so you guys can come and pick it up.

120
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: I think, I think that this is this could be

121
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: fruitful for all involved. If not on the back of

122
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: the yet we also have a caravan where we commentate

123
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: sports out of the back of we could probably you know,

124
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: potentially empty that out fillet with a metric fuck town

125
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: of nappies and what wipes was it?

126
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: Well? Look, I just feel like wet whites are. If

127
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: you're going to be changing nappies, there's a very big change.

128
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 3: You can be covered in shit, and not just any shit,

129
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: it's new baby shit, which is the most potent of

130
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 3: all shits. At least from my experience, so you probably

131
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: want to have at least a healthy dose of wipes

132
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: in there as well.

133
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, all right, what here's what I think

134
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: we do. I think we put a pen in this

135
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: and take it offline. We'll see that if we've got

136
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: any connections over the side of the Dutch that could

137
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: potentially help out. You know, we scratch the e bec,

138
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: they scratch our beck, we scratch your beck.

139
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: Sort of situation.

140
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: Love that, and if we can't, then other option as

141
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: we get the Hello's book credit card, run it through

142
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: the wall at Costco and happy.

143
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: Families sounds fantastic. And listen, I mean, I don't know

144
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: what our next couple of weeks look like. I'm not

145
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 3: going to commit to it. But if there's a world

146
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: where we may be hop on a flight and get

147
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: over there and deliver them with you, then I'm just

148
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: keeping all options open at this point because I want

149
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: to see mana Mitch from across the ditch Shaddy Navies.

150
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we all do, and so anything that

151
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: we can do to help make that happen, We'll just

152
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: keep our eyes up over the next couple of weeks.

153
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: Well, thank you very much.

154
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: For joining us on the podcast today, Tom, go well,

155
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: enjoy your state of origin football quick prediction for the score.

156
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: Tonight, New South Wales by a fuck load. To be honest,

157
