Transcript
00:00I want to enjoy my break, enjoy my family time. I haven't seen my family for eight weeks.
00:06I have a newborn child, which I haven't met yet.
00:10You're welcome.
00:13A girl.
00:15She was born when we were playing in Brisbane.
00:19I haven't met her.
00:21I'm looking forward to go meet my newborn child.
00:24How difficult has it been?
00:26Geez, that's a revelation.
00:28How difficult has it been for you?
00:29No, look, pretty small.
00:31Right.
00:32A woman, a woman.
00:33If you only knew the story of what happened, it's a funny story in itself.
00:37Oh, feel free.
00:39It was a good day.
00:40How did you find out?
00:41Where were you?
00:43We had time doing it.
00:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:45No, you can't leave us hanging.
00:47Probably the hotel.
00:48I knew we were overdue unless it caused me.
00:50She was like,Oh, he brought her here for birth, but go to the hospital.
00:52But in contraction today, yeah, fair enough.
00:54Go to the hospital, so we're getting ready for the team meeting,
00:57or whatever it is.
00:59She pulled with me.
01:00She was like,Oh, okay.
01:01I'm on the way to the hospital.
01:03So fine.
01:04We say,
01:05Five minutes later, she sees a photo of a water break.
01:08I was like,Okay, cool, man.
01:09Alright.
01:10You're almost 30-40 minutes away from the hospital.
01:12I was like,He'll be alright.
01:14Mum's driving.
01:15Two minutes later, she video called me.
01:17I was like,Oh, what is going on?
01:19I saw a baby on the photo, on the video call.
01:21Oh, my God.
01:22She had the car on the way to the hospital.
01:24No way.
01:25So, they're both strong and healthy.
01:28Good.
01:29Happy days.
