Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Putters and Dribbles are brought to you by Four Pints Japanese Lager and as you may or may not know, it's a long weekend this weekend. King's birthday long weekend. King Charles birthday long weekend, Tom. Yeah, and you know what you need to do? You need to stock up on Four Pints Japanese Lager because it's a big long weekend and Failing to prepare means you're preparing to fail.
Well, that's right, Tom. I think you stumbled over that slightly, but it's not important. I just paused for dramatic effect. No, I love it. I love it. It's a big, girthy long weekend. Yeah. And one must drown themselves and one must celebrate properly, Tom, with Japanese lager. That's right. It's as simple as that. Sit around the fire, suck a couple back. Yep. Perfection.
Headed your bottle low, case, six pack, doesn't matter. Four Pints Japanese Lager, baby. King's birthday, long weekend. Also my birthday. Coming up. Next week, not this weekend. Yeah, but technically it's my birthday. Well, not this weekend. Nah, but it's the King's. Four Pints. You are listening to the Hello Sport Podcast. What's up, punters and dribblers?
Welcome back to another episode of the Hello Sport Podcast. I have unqualified opinion and a wavering bias. I just want to start, if I can, by welcoming you all officially to winter, 1st of June. Also my birthday month, not a big deal. It's of lesser importance, Eddie, but I am. It's my birthday next week, right? Like, let's not fucking pretend like it isn't. Okay. But winter is here.
It's chilly as fuck. It was cold last night. Yeah, it was. It was cold last night. Cold. Cold this morning. Brusk. Brusk. A wee butt brusk. Very cold last night. Yes. Very cold this morning. I'd like to shout out. Pleasure to be here. I'd like to shout out Vic Morrow, Manly Seagulls, premiership legend, and the boys at Vic Morrow. I don't know what they're called. Come on, get it right from Vic.
Frozone. Nice. For keeping me warm. Not an ad, already paid for, so don't worry. But hot air in the house, in the Birmingham household. Warm as toast. Were you running through the ceiling? Oh, yeah, no, it's ducted, mate. Or are you coming up through the ground? No, ducted through the ceiling, mate. Five zones, four bedrooms and a living room. So, you know.
With the air touch, running an air touch so you can isolate zones if you want. You can touch the air. Control temperature. You can touch the air. You can. Things too powerful to run in one bedroom though, so you need to have at least two zones going because she's a powerful beast. How's Vic? Look, Vic Morrow, he was great.
He looked like he wasn't a man for the spotlight because he rocked up to the front door and he was with like an associate. I don't know if he knew that he was Vic Morrow or not. This was in the install, punters and dribblers, and I go – And he goes, Vic. And I go, Vic Morrow, 2011 Premiership Bureau, Vic Morrow? And he goes, oh, yeah, long time ago. No, it ain't, brother. Not in my house.
It's not a long time ago. Vic, thanks for your service. To the peninsula. And then obviously you're in your intended service to my house. So you've had 2008 premiership hero Heath Lestrange and 2011 premiership hero Vic Morrow both into the house. And I'm best friends with 1996 and 2008 premiership hero Steve Menzies. Not nothing. Not nothing. In fact, in a WhatsApp group. In a WhatsApp group.

Chapter 2: What happens during the Beef Week event?
You were never going to win the million. You were highly unlikely, Travis. Well, like, listen. You can't say never. Never say never. Justin Bieber told us that. But highly unlikely. You've got $5,000. This is still pretty good, Travis. Yeah, you did flame out in epic, epic fashion. Well, you let go of the beef stick after 15 minutes.
And the only thing you had to do, Travis, was to hold the beef stick. You were unable to do so. Unfortunately, you came third. You were knocked out. But the thing was... But you got five grand. The challenges were getting harder. But he hadn't slept all night. And I think that that worked against him. Well, listen, Travis was... He was...
The million, he'd already spent the million, I think, in his head. You know what I mean? You think? Yeah, I think Travis might have already spent the million. Yeah, probably justifies the tears. I didn't want to bring that up, but yeah, he was in tears. I get it, Travis. A million dollars. I would have been in tears, too. A million dollars is life-changing. No shame in tears. No, there's not.
A million dollars is life-changing. You were very unlikely to win it, but you could have won it, and I get that. But I had to basically go in there, I had my arm around him as he was crying. I'm not laughing at that. I'm just like, it was like, oh... Oh, yeah, right. No, there's a lot like this is people, they're invested in this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
While Eddie's over there being like, all right, let's keep moving on. What's going on here? Yeah, so I had to keep the crowd up and about for the remaining two contestants while Tom took Travis around the back for some privacy. Yes. Get him out of there. But listen, that's what it meant. That's high stakes beef though as well.
Get over it. It's high stakes beef.
Get over it. It's Jack Lynx has put up a million dollars and you'd want to be ready. Yeah, and you'd want it to mean something. It's a million dollars. So like I have sympathy for Travis, but then also like be better. Travis's lucky number might have been my lucky number, which is what won. Yeah. Yeah, I know. That was insane. It was your lucky number. 29. 29.
Nearly fainted when I saw it come up and then I go, oh, you're not playing. No, you're not. You were never playing. No. You're here to host. So... You know what? This would have come in handy for Travis. Travis, don't worry, buddy. Yeah, you did. You fucked up. One chance. One opportunity. Don't worry, Travis. It's yesterday and you were never... Well, it's two weeks ago.
Well, no, he thinks it's coming up. Okay, fuck. Fuck. G'day, Travis. Four weeks ago, mate. Jack Links doesn't exist. And we move on. Unfortunately, that wasn't what happened, though. So Travis probably still dealing with the fallout of what was the Battle of Beef Week. The Battle of Beef Week, he lost, unfortunately. That's what the history books will show. Young Jackson won, 25,000 big ones.

Chapter 3: What insights are shared about the recent rugby matches?
Anyway, that's a six again rant and I'll leave it there. There seems to be, and this is just a vibe thing, a lot of six agains in good ball, like attacking 20, given away on like the fourth tackle. Like really late and it's just like, it's just. It's crushing. There's always points. Yeah.
I don't know whether that is like teams when they're under the pump, like defending their line, whether they're more comfortable to give it. No, but at the start of a set, yeah, but not on the fourth or the fifth. No. No. Now, listen. That could be entirely wrong. And obviously, Tom and I are slightly bitter. Not massively bitter. Not massively bitter. Because Kula didn't play.
Hamale didn't play. Turbo was out. We're away from home.
Turbo's away. Takio broke his leg a couple of weeks ago. That's right. And listen. And I'll say this. I said it to Tom as we enjoyed a couple of tucky wet moors watching the game on our phone because Byron Bay has a love affair with live music, which I'm into. I think it's good for society.
I'm not anti-live music.
I think it's good for society. Used to be in a band. I think it's good for culture. The rugby league was on. I think it's good for the youth, Tom. That was an accident. I think it's good for the youth, right? I like to see the youth of tomorrow out and about, mingling, meeting the other sex, having fun, not being at home, being fucking weirdos. Correct. No incel sort of stuff.
I don't like this propagation of the idea that, you know, you have three wines and your fucking week's ruined. It's like, everyone calm down and get out and mingle.
Yeah, shut the fuck up.
Ruin your week. Oh, yeah. You know, it's bloody holding me back from making a billion. You're just turning everything into productivity. It's lame. Enjoy your life. Enjoy your life.

Chapter 4: What happens in Tiger's Corner?
Well, of course there is. Cody, get your ass over here, son. It's Tiger's Corner. It's Cody Totes. Yeah, it's real. Whatever you want to call it, buddy. Tigers-Dogs, Tigers 22, Dogs 16.
Chapter 5: How did the Tigers perform against the Dogs?
For those hoping that the Dogs had turned a corner, they haven't. Well, listen, they haven't, but it was a close game. Tigers needed the win. Cody, how did you see it? Really easy watch, never in doubt. Oh, okay. You said he didn't speak for the whole second half. No, it didn't. This was tough. Really tough watch. Tough game. The Bulldogs were good.
But like you said this morning, Ed, we had to win this.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of the Bulldogs' performance?
You had to win this. You had to. Had to win it. I was going into the game feeling kind of impartial, like flip of a coin. Could have gone either way. What do you mean impartial? What is with this? No, no. Like, is this something about, and I don't want to start, you know, old man Tommy Burns over here talking about generation gaps. He just feels like he doesn't have emotion.
Is there something like, is it microplastics? You know what I mean? Is it like killing the emotional highs and lows of the next generation? He's just like... Cody? It's trauma.
Chapter 7: How does the discussion shift to the upcoming games?
Oh, yeah. We go through this every week. You're like, why are you not confident? I'm like, I can never be confident. It's trauma. But you didn't say you were unconfident or confident. He's like reek. After he's had his dick cut off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The Tigers have had their penis removed and they're learning to live without it. Yeah. Okay. So I think it makes sense. Sorry, Cody, as you were.
No, but like you, you know, you start the season well, and then a couple of your players go down and then you start getting pumped again. And it's like, you can't, that stuff's hard to shake. So I went into this game feeling a little bit like this could go either way, but I felt like a little like quietly confident. Appy and Bull are obviously back. Huge genes.
We went up 16-0 and then I think, I don't know if it was the, there was a try disallowed on halftime. It was a bullshit one. No, no. This is when Critter got held up. Oh. So, Critty got held up on halftime. That would have made it 16-10. And we went in 16-6. But I was like, that could easily have been 16-10. So, then the second half was just like a tough watch. Yes.
That current try was disallowed. Bullshit. Disagree. Bullshit. It's black and white. Well, it's so obviously, you know, the charge down's gone from the game then. Sure. Charge down's gone from the game. Charges the ball down, runs through, barely touches Luai's foot, and it's like, oh, it's like they're fucking rushing the passer in the NFL.
It's like, I get that that's a rule, but he charged the ball down. It was a great try. It was an effort play, and you're not rewarding effort. I know that you need to be black and white, and so in that moment, sure, gun to your head. Do you need to be? Well, because the downstream effect, Eddie, of not being black and white is that this will happen in another situation.
But this protect the kicker bullshit's just gone. Well, I just think if you're doing a charge down, if you hit the ball, then fucking who cares? It's an incidental injury because you're trying to affect the play. Get it away quicker. If you don't get the ball, then maybe it's different. I don't know.
But he charged it down and he scored the try and then to be taken off because he didn't even hit his leg that hard. Yeah, no, that's all fair. I'm just kind of like, it's the rule. Honestly, that's a great point. That's the end of the story for me. It's a great point. It is the rule. It's the rule. He broke the rule and it wasn't a try.
I don't know why it's been made out to be such a big deal, to be honest. Because people get upset when they see an effort play go unrewarded because of some stupid rule. And people hate seeing the game go unrewarded. Mate, even when Joey Johns is like, game gone, you can't even pressure the kicker anymore. They've got all the time in the world. You listen. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Cody doesn't. Cody hates Joey Johns. Well, like, this happened a couple of years ago. We were talking about it in the green room this morning. Like, this happened a couple of years ago in Cup and someone broke their leg. I think it was one of the south halves. I can't remember who it was. It was like Elias. Yeah. Yeah, like yes, but like Blake Braley broke his arm fucking making a tackle.
