169: Mitchell Starc (Player Profile)

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).

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.

162: Shaquille O'Neal (Part A)

Shaquille O'Neal is the biggest guest we have ever sat down with. Both physically enormous as well as a figurative phenomenon. Shaq is simply a world wide megastar. The 216cm former basketballer recently returned to Australia for the first time since 1993 and took the country by storm. And rightfully so. He is a four-time NBA Champion, an Olympic Gold medallist, an NBA Hall of Famer, a business man, a movie star, a DJ and a family man and was kind enough to step through it all and more during two sit down interviews. He shares his journey, his life lessons and the mindset needed to make him great. And of course, we had heaps of fun a long the way. ------------ Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

161: James Hird (Part A)

James Hird is back telling stories, laughing and loving footy and family. The former number 5 for the Bombers was kind enough to take a couple of hours out of his life to talk about his love for Essendon, what went wrong as coach, what he learnt, his future aspirations, business and family. 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. ------------ 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.
