An Anzac Day Special.  Howie is joined by Fox Footy host, Sarah Jones, to remember her Pop, Jack Jones - who appeared on the podcast in 2016, for episode 6. It remains one of Howie's favourites.  The late Jack Jones played in 7 Grand Finals for the Essendon Bombers, which included 3 Premierships. Before he stepped out for the Bombers, he went to war with the 24th Infantry Battalion in New Guinea and Bougainville. His memory and recall of these times was as breathtaking as it was incredible. He had no time to fear what was happening around him, because he was committed to looking after his mates first. And that about sums him up, you have to hear his story.  Lest We Forget. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a journey that normally only dreams are made of, but he has lived it and he tells it with plenty of detail, humility and laughs. Don't miss it.  And don’t miss, Force of Nature: The Dry 2 which is in cinemas now – Eric’s latest Aussie thriller will have you hooked right until the end.  *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A down to earth Hollywood star - that's something you don't hear every day (not that he thinks himself of that). But, Eric Bana has remained as close to the Saints loving, Motorsport thriving boy from Tullamarine than you could almost ever imagine.  After many years of chasing, we have landed this Aussie icon and he doesn't disappoint. Get to know him in his Player Profile, as we get set for the real deal.  Force of Nature: The Dry 2 is in cinemas from Thursday 8th of February - and the film will have you hooked right until the end. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But, after 41 games, and 8 years on an AFL list at both Carlton and Greater Western Sydney, he was forced to forge his own, different path.  He was ahead of the curve and has gone on to create his own highly successful podcast and is also the co-founder and director of one of the largest independent media companies in the country, Producey.  It hasn't been easy on or off the footy field for a variety of reasons.

He is a gold medal winning Australian boxer. But despite representing his country at the Olympics, and winning a Commonwealth Games Gold Medal, Harry Garside's efforts in the ring are only a small part of his story.  At the age of 25, he is a deep thinker and far wiser than his years suggest. He is empowering an entire nation to be your authentic self, to not judge others and to do things that make you happy. This chat will leave you questioning your own ways of thinking and doing. In a good way.  He is a proven champion in the ring - with plenty still to accomplish - but an absolute legend of a human out of it.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One thing is for sure, the most decorated footballer in the history of the Essendon Football Club has needed more courage off the field to get back to normality than he required on the field.  He is open and honest and inspiring. Keep climbing, Jim. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dinner with Winston Churchill, swapping jobs with Elon Musk, Perfecting a Japanese Katsu Don and watching The Goodies. Fall back in love with the real James Hird.   James is arguably the best ever player to ever don an Essendon Football Club jumper. In recent times he has been to hell and back and to see him smile and hear him laugh was really special. His story of resilience and strength is powerful for us all.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He was born in Texas, but landed in Melbourne and never looked back. He is one of the most remarkable stories the AFL has ever seen.  The American Pie has wowed the jam packed MCG on the biggest of occasions, and he is grateful for every second of it. Not bad for a bloke who didn’t know how to hold a football before flying to Melbourne to sign on the dotted line.  This tall intelligent human is a deep thinking, fun loving, curious and interested…. Aussie. That’s right, the Big Tex is an Australian Citizen. He is even making waves on his new Podcast, the Mason Cox Show.  Tune in, as we go around the world with Mason Cox.

#TheHowieGames | Michael Holding was a mainstay of one of the most feared, loved and dominant teams world cricket has ever seen, the mighty West Indians of the 1970s and 80s.  This episode meanders through Michael’s early years growing up in Jamaica, reaching a point where Mikey was the most graceful, beautiful, captivating quick-man the game had seen.  Michael also talks extensively about his fearless approach to cricket broadcasting, where he learnt the ropes with the likes of Richie Benaud and Ian Chappell.  But above all that, it’s the last part of the podcast that will stay with me. Michael’s words and thoughts on the scourge that is racism, left me questioning a lot of things about the world in which we live, and frankly, how I, as a white male, view it.  Since I spoke to Michael his explanations and hopes have been a topic around the dinner table with my wife and kids and I really hope it becomes a talking point with your family. ❤️See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#TheHowieGames | In her day, Lauren Jackson was universally regarded as the best player in women’s basketball.  Her honour role is outrageous. 4 Olympic medals (3 silvers and a bronze), a World Championship, countless domestic titles all around the globe, MVP’s and Flag Bearer at the London Olympics. This is a serious resume.  But, Lauren’s journey wasn’t always an easy one. Along with the trophies, lifelong friendships and the joy she got from the game - of which she is extremely grateful - LJ also battled injury and mental health issues along the way.  In her own, understated way, Lauren doesn’t shy away from the difficulties she has overcome in this episode. Listening to her speak, it left me with the general thought that this makes her achievements, both on and off the court, even greater in my eyes.  LJ is a star ❤️ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is also a role that forces some very tough decisions on those charged with the responsibility.  Hopefully this episode gets away from the Chris Scott you see on game day and takes you into the world of Chris Scott the father, husband, brother, leader….and cook of fancy steaks!  Stay safe crew. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#TheHowieGames | This week’s episode is the perfect example of all the good stuff in life. Going out on a limb, having a crack and defying the odds. It features a fantastic fellow by the name of Phil Anderson.  Phil is a trailblazer in Australian cycling. The first non-European to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France, victories in some of the biggest classics in the caper, a couple of Commonwealth Games gold medals and so much more.  But the real joy in this episode for me is Phil’s ability to tell some incredible stories, about a time when sport wasn’t so professionally packaged, monitored and scientific. Phil’s was a wonderfully outrageous time of pre-race steaks, mid-race Coca Colas, no helmets, a lot of risk, long distance phone calls and fluoro!  Real last man standing stuff. Enjoy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#TheHowieGames | This episode of the Howie Games features Two-time World Champion, Pipeline Master and pioneer of Australian professional surfing Tom Carroll. Tom was a champion in a very different time. Boards were big, shorts were small and Hawaii might as well have been on another planet.
