Speaker 1 (00:09):
All right, emergency episode of the Mad Monday podcast. This
is coming out on a Wednesday afternoon. Look, if you
listen to this podcast, you're probably aware of the Hello
Sport podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
You probably listened to their latest episode.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
But they have come up with a pitch to reward
the efforts of our very own Mitch Barnette and missing
the birth of his second child to go over there
and be in State of Origin camp. So I wanted
to see if we could lend a hand with that.
So on the Agenda podcast earlier this morning, we had
a chat to Tommy Birmingham from the hellow Sport podcast.
(00:41):
I thought, you know what, I know who's going to
enjoy this. It's the Mad Monday audience. So without any
further ado, here's our chat from the Agenda podcast with
Tom Birmingham from Hellowsport. Well, it's a great pleasure to
welcome our dear friend from across the ditch from the
hellow Sport podcast, Tom Birmingham, get a Tom Hay getting
on this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Mate, very very well, thanks for having us. How are
you guys doing, Yeah, we're.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Doing very very well. Thanks mate, State of Origin tonight.
Obviously you're a proud new South Welshman over there, and
I see that it's caught your eye that our beloved
Mitch Barnett has actually missed the birth of his second son.
Just the whole pads at training across the ditch. Let's
call you right, didn't it?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Oh? Absolutely did. We're calling him mana much from across
the Dutch. Yeah. And also just we are new South Welshman,
but myself and Eddie who's my cost on the show,
both half key we so I just feel like mentioning
that off the top, maybe just to ingratiate ourselves further
with your audience. Look, it was made apparent to us
(01:45):
after Mitch got selected in the second game that he
missed the birth of his child, and we were like, oh,
that's I mean, obviously that's incredible. But then as the
story developed, it was like he actually a kid been
born for a couple of weeks. He missed the birth
of his second child to literally come and train with
the boys, not on game day, not, I think, man,
just to hold pads, run through some plays and I
(02:07):
just think that's New South Wales spirit through and through. Well.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I've thought this from the moment that he got that
he got named into the squad. I was like, Mitch
bhaniit as a state of origin player. You know, he's
got all of the things. I think he's raised on
a dairy farm out in rural New South Wales. I
couldn't tell you where. And I was like, that is
the kind of man that you need in your food pack.
And I think you and Edie came up with a
plan to reward him in some way for that.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, that's right. Look, I mean we sort of we
were just trying to think about how we could give
back to a man who's, you know, given everything to
the state. Now, you could argue that if you've seen
one childbirth, you've seen them all. Maybe that's true. I
don't know, but we felt like we needed to do
something for him. So we're in the process of basically
(02:54):
just trying to organize almost an obnoxious amount of Hauge's
nappies to be delivered to worries training basically just a
way to say thank you, see what we can do
to maybe just ease the strain at home. Having a
couple of kids myself, nappies and wipes a commodity, So
we sort of feel like that just will do our part.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Am I right and thinking if I got the mets
right on this, I think the metric was it was
tackles times meters run plus a fuckload.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Correct. Now, you know it's not exactly an exact it's
not an exact science necessarily, but tackles times meters times
of fuckload is the metric we're going off. So it'll
be interesting to see how that shakes out after the night.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, it's going to entirely depend on how many minutes
he gets and also what.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Exactly a fuckload is?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
What the I know you got Jacko on from the
Warriors to help facilitate a little bit of the logistics.
He mentioned, why don't you just give him the money
and then he could buy the stuff himself. I don't
think that's the spirit of what you were trying to
do here. I think it's about obviously as a as
a good half key to yourself. You know, it's about
the koha. It's about the gift and the act of
gift giving. And so I think in that spirit, how
(04:12):
how far along the road are you with us?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Do you need a hand?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
We've got a ute. I mean, it's got fuck all
storage in the back of it. But we've got straps
and stuff. Do you need someone to pick it up
at customs and take it to the training facility.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Honestly, this couldn't have come at a better time. Initially
we reached out to Huggy you thinking, you know, maybe
we could help them, help help a good news story,
get Huggies involved, and they gave us one of a
great parning offs of all time. As is, they're right,
But obviously they will come to root the day and
they see, you know, the success of this gesture. But look,
(04:47):
if you got it'd be fantastic. We were, we were,
we were considering flying them over there. Then I thought
it's probably just easy to buy them on the ground
in New Zealand. But you're right, Jacko will be getting
none of our money, that's for damn sure.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Well he's probably going to siphon some off anyway.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
We've just got as a concern.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
We've just had a costco open up here in New Zealand.
I feel like that's probably the way to go in
terms of buying in bulk. Don't why don't we take
our ut It's a nineteen ninety six Ford falcon yute
sacked out. We have to take it to a dodgy
workshop to get the regio over here. But why don't
we take that out to Costco get meters times tackles
(05:29):
times a fuck load worth of nappies and then drive
them out to South Auckland and deliver them and deliver
them to muna mitch from across the ditch when he
gets back.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
That sounds like a fantastic idea now, where if you
can give us the details of this, Costco happy to,
we'll get on the front foot and make the purchase
for you and then just have it all set up
so you guys can come and pick it up.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I think, I think that this is this could be
fruitful for all involved. If not on the back of
the yet we also have a caravan where we commentate
sports out of the back of we could probably you know,
potentially empty that out fillet with a metric fuck town
of nappies and what wipes was it?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Well? Look, I just feel like wet whites are. If
you're going to be changing nappies, there's a very big change.
You can be covered in shit, and not just any shit,
it's new baby shit, which is the most potent of
all shits. At least from my experience, so you probably
want to have at least a healthy dose of wipes
in there as well.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, all right, all right, what here's what I think
we do. I think we put a pen in this
and take it offline. We'll see that if we've got
any connections over the side of the Dutch that could
potentially help out. You know, we scratch the e bec,
they scratch our beck, we scratch your beck.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Sort of situation.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Love that, and if we can't, then other option as
we get the Hello's book credit card, run it through
the wall at Costco and happy.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Families sounds fantastic. And listen, I mean, I don't know
what our next couple of weeks look like. I'm not
going to commit to it. But if there's a world
where we may be hop on a flight and get
over there and deliver them with you, then I'm just
keeping all options open at this point because I want
to see mana Mitch from across the ditch Shaddy Navies.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, I think we all do, and so anything that
we can do to help make that happen, We'll just
keep our eyes up over the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Well, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
For joining us on the podcast today, Tom, go well,
enjoy your state of origin football quick prediction for the score.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Tonight, New South Wales by a fuck load. To be honest,
Game one we basically wanted a man down. Game two
it was a fuckload, and then Game three, I'm just
feeling it. There's a lot of positive vibes in the
air here in New South Wales and whilst you know
positive vibes, have you know turned up to be incorrect
vibes in the past. I'm just I'm feeling it.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well, I'll check.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I know we've got different betting apps across the ditch,
over your side and outside, but I'll check our betting
partner and see if they've got a market for New
South Wales by a fuckload. Enjoy, enjoy the game tonight, mate,
and we'll be in touched to see if we can't
get these new match perfect.
