The Howie Games (LiSTNR)

THE TON. WOOHOO! 

#TheHowieGames | Adam Scott has a brilliant story. A story that will forever be etched in Australian sporting history and Adam tells it in this episode in such a relaxed, entertaining, reflective and funny manner. 

Adam is a pretty private person and I hadn’t heard a lot of these stories. From his early years, mind games when taking on Tiger, dealing with pressure, the pain of the 2012 Open and plenty more. 

But the ep culminates with one of the most enjoyable conversations I've ever had on the pod, as Adam takes us through the closing stages of his history making Masters win in 2013 - at times shot by shot. 

Here’s an upfront guarantee…it will give you goosebumps. ❤️
This episode was made possible by the good people at Uniqlo, for whom Adam is a global ambassador.

The most charismatic jockey ever. With over 280 Group 1 wins, he is also one of the most successful jockey's in the history of the sport. And as expected, he fly's through his Player Profile with balance and poise (and humour). 

If you only listen to it for the Italian born but England based superstar's answer to whether or not he likes pineapple on pizza, it will be worth it!

A star on and off a horse, the one and only Lanfranco Dettori. 

The magical Melbourne Cup Carnival is from November 4 to 11, General Admission tickets are from $60, and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.

Warm. Happy. Thoughtful. And, an Aussie rock sensation. That is Mark Seymour. 

Even better, his ability to sing in front of thousands, is only rivalled by his ability to tell his story. 

From humble beginnings in a small country town called Beaufort, to insights into Bruce Springsteen and so much more. Go deep with this Aussie legend. 

The former front man of Hunters and Collectors is still making music, and he is still absolutely brilliant at it. 

The Boxer is Mark Seymour’s 11th solo studio album, and the fifth to be credited to Mark Seymour & The Undertow. It is out April 19. Pre-purchase the album, or buy tickets to see Mark Seymour and the Undertow live at www.markseymour.com.au

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. A story that Steven Spielberg would be proud of.

"I was 3 weeks away from being out of baseball"

Many of you won't have heard of Liam Hendriks. Fun Fact… He is Australia's 5th highest-paid athlete! 

Liam is a pitcher for the Chicago White Sox in Major League Baseball. 

This is the story of a kid from Perth who has copped countless whacks on his sporting journey but never gave up. 

With a mixture of self-belief, determination, skill, and a tarot card reader, he has hit the big time! 

From me to you...this is well worth a listen. ❤️

"She felt the life go out of me" 

You may know Ryan Campbell as a dashing wicketkeeper-batsman for Western Australia and Australia. I know him as a mate. 

Campbo suffered a cardiac arrest in mid-April this year and he's bloody lucky to still be with us. 

This isn't a typical ep where we delve into Ryan’s career. Rather, it's a chat about what Campbo went through, what he learnt about his heart and its health, how his perspective changed when he got a second chance at life and what we can all do to look after ourselves.❤️

#TheHowieGames | Tim Paine - This week's guest is a wonderful example of perseverance. At the start of the last Aussie summer he couldn’t get a game for Tasmania. By the end of it he was the Australian test cricket captain.Extraordinary. His name is Tim Paine.

Tim is fiercely competitive on the field and extremely warm and friendly off it. His life will change this summer. He will go from being a cricketer that many sports fans don’t know too much about, to being the face of the Aussie team as it sets off in a new direction. He showed just last week in Dubai, how we are lucky to have him. 

From the backyard in Tassie, to the spotlight in South Africa, this is Tim’s story.

This isn't a typical Howie Games episode. But, it could be one of the most inspiring yet. 

This former footballer turned podcaster, producer, media personality, businessman, son, brother, husband, friend and father has endured more than most, and he is still bringing positive vibes everywhere he goes. 

Dylan Buckley is the son of a gun, his Dad Jimmy played in three premierships for the Carlton football club, and he followed in his footsteps. 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. But as Dylan says, it's not about what happens, it's how you respond to it that counts.

"I'm trying to be grateful for everything" 

Usman Khawaja is one of the coolest cats in Australian sport. 

He is a beautiful man. Humble yet confident, caring yet strong, calm yet passionate. 

As a parent, he is the type of role model I would like my kids to follow because Uzzie just gets it. 

From his faith, to racism, to having his heart broken by selectors and returning to his native Pakistan (and dominating!), Usman has a great story to tell. 

Usman is grateful for all the love he has in his life. We are grateful he came on for a chat. ❤️

#TheHowieGames | Martin Potter is the 1989 World Surfing Champion, but you don't need to have any interest in surfing to take something from this episode. 

"Pottz" tells some wild tales in this chat…from growing up in South Africa in the apartheid era to joining a group of tough, competitive, aggressive surfers on tour as a 15 year old! 

He discusses family relationships, the wave that defined his life, in-competition biffo, and more recently a life in the commentary box, including being on air when Mick Fanning was attacked by a shark at Jeffreys Bay.

But the real gist of what Martin is all about, what defines him still today, is his attitude towards life and living. Martin has an unwavering determination to forge his own path, no matter the resistance. Pottz has the courage to be an outlier.

#TheHowieGames | Patty Mills is one of a kind. I came away from this episode thinking he is a very special person. 

If you combine Patty's background, his upbringing, his desire to succeed, his leadership, his work as a role mode and a spokesman, his empathy and care for others, his love and sharing of his culture and his ability to hit massive 3 point bombs….Well, all that makes for a very powerful combination! 

Most people would be more than happy to say they are an NBA champion. But that's only a small part of who Patty is. 

This show has always aimed to revolve around the themes of inspiration and motivation. In that light, I can think of no better guest than the man you are about to hear. 

Stay safe.

#TheHowieGames | Joe and Renae Ingles are a remarkable couple for all sorts of reasons.

There’s not much this episode doesn’t cover - Joe’s basketball journey from Adelaide, to Tel Aviv and then eventually Utah. From being without a job, to with Renae’s help and backing, becoming an NBA gun on an enormous contract. Plus we cover Renae’s netball career - from heartbreak to jubilation.

But the most beautiful part of this story revolves around Joe and Renae’s twins, Jacob and Milla.

In the last year, Jacob was diagnosed with autism. It’s through the telling of Jacob’s story that you will gain the greatest insight into who Renae and Joe really are.

You will discover what this couple really represents, about their love for their family, about how autism can be tackled and about what Joe and Renae are doing to help others in a similar situation. If you get a moment please check out 4 ASD Kids, a charity set up by dual rugby international Mat Rogers and his wife Chloe that Joe and Renae are supporting.

Jess Stenson dreamt of representing her country in green and gold, and despite turbulent times along the way, she hung tough. It's a story of determination, hard work. resilience and persistence.

Yes. He is English. Yes. He is an Australian nemesis. He is also an Ashes legend (no matter what way you look at it). He is also a really good bloke. 

He has taken wickets around the world, against the very best. He has tormented us Aussies at times. But he is hard working, entertaining, passionate and courageous – everything this podcast is all about!

With the 5th most wickets of all time, and also featuring in the top 10 for the most Test Matches ever played, his longevity and success is a result of his work ethic, passion and love for the game, which is only thriving in the era of Bazball. It's all there in his chat with Howie. 

Give it a go Australia. You WILL be surprised.

But also, come on Aussie's!

It was our biggest sporting story of 2023. The Matildas conquered the hearts of a nation. They captured the attention of most of the globe. 

And for the first time, the humble and hard working Steph Catley - who was the stand in skipper when we needed her most - recalls the moments of the Matildas memorable World Cup on home soil. 

From the moment she messaged her mum a selfie of her in her Matildas jersey, to pumping her chest after hitting the back of the net in a World Cup in her home city. 

This really is what dreams are made of. It's goosebumps central in episode 200 of the Howie Games.

Crats joins Howie for a backwards Player Profile, but one thing is for sure, the Aussie paceman has come a very long way since his first job (sorry crew, you are going to have to listen to find out where he started). There is plenty packed into this one, including Mitchell Starc's Top 5 Hardest Batsmen to bowl to - which controversially includes a team mate. 

The Australian cricket teams golf commissioner could end up on a professional golf tour when he is done. But, he has a few wickets to take for Australia yet. 

Keep enjoying the journey, Starcy!

#TheHowieGames | Kurt Fearnley is a phenomenal athlete. 

A Paralympic legend who, when racing, was defined by his iron will and absolute refusal to give up. Ever. 
Kurt had the ability to physically push himself into areas where few people go. His explanation of the mental attitudes required to do this are pretty special. 

But more than that, Kurt is a man who seeks out adventure, in a world where adventures are often a distant dream. 

If ya want a lift, I reckon this episode will get you up and about.

#TheHowieGames | Luc Longley has a truly incredible story to tell. The big man was the very first Australian to play in the NBA - forging a path that many have successfully followed.

In this episode, Luc describes what the NBA was like in the 90s, dealing with the immense fame that their success created, Rodman's links to North Korea and what it was like to play with the sporting and cultural phenomenon of MJ.

#TheHowieGames | Mark Waugh was statistically a wonderful player for Australia, but the numbers do not tell the true story of why Mark is such a loved figure among cricket fans. M.E. Waugh batted with a style few have ever matched to see him bat was to witness artistry and grace in action. This episode covers Mark's brilliant sporting life from the highs of a century on debut to the lows of the negative media spotlight. Junior is funny, direct and reflective.

Meg Lanning has more World Cup Trophies than Ricky Ponting. 

She captained Australia to two ODI World Cups and five T20 International World Cups, and that is not even the best bit.

But, can she handle the Howie Games Player Profile? Of course she can! 

Just like watching her represent her country, her full episode is unmissable.

#TheHowieGames | Ben Simmons - Our guest this week is Ben Simmons, a young man, that in a very short period of time, has become one of the biggest names in Australian sport, due to his performances for the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA. 

So big has Ben’s impact been, that locally, he is the first Australian face of the wildly successful NBA2K video game, which is celebrating its 20 year anniversary.
The Howie Games thanks NBA2K for making this interview possible. 

This episode involved flying to San Francisco, for basically one day, speaking with Ben, then flying home. Surrounded by show time, bright lights and general hysteria wherever he goes, Ben reminds quietly spoken, friendly and very low key. Welcome to the wonderful world of Ben Simmons.

Competitive as they come, but kind and caring as well. Mitchell Starc is not your typical fast bowler, and although he does steam in and give short treatment and delivers a fierce stare from time to time, off the ground he is one of the warmest professional athletes you could ever come across. 

He is an interested, delightful and gentle human being... and a jokester as well. 

Starcy is the personification of the old adage, good things come to good people. And after almost becoming the world's tallest wicketkeeper... he has gone on to achieve some amazing things for his country.

Enjoy crew!

Hear me out!! This episode is absolutely everything this podcast is all about. 

If you're hesitant towards our wrestling guru's, that is fine - we were too. BUT, for the first ever sit down with three athletes.... it goes off brilliantly. They are colourful, they are insightful, they are skilful and powerful, they are positive, they are revolutionary and absolutely everything in between. 

Big E, Kofi and Xavier Woods are arguably the most high profile trio in WWE history. They make up The New Day - and are the Tag Team Champions of the World. They hold all sorts of records, including the longest reigning Tag Team Champions. 

If you're not a wrestling fan, that is absolutely fine. We lift the cover on the art, athleticism and entertainment industry these guys are dominating. 

Give it a go. You won't regret it. 

And depending on how much you like the lads, you can watch them on Binge. As of 2023, you can stream all WWE premium live events as well as the WWE Network’s original programming and a vast collection of archived content on Binge.
