## Transcript

[0:02] A listener production.
[0:04] Okay, are you recording?
[0:07] Been a huge couple of weeks with Sir Doug Nichols around.
[0:09] We were stoked last week to have on the show three stars of the game, Morris Rioli Jr., Jarman, Impey and Brad Hill.
[0:17] Their full episode dropped last week.
[0:20] If you missed it, check it out in the Howie Games feed.
[0:22] Time now for these men and their player profile.
[0:27] Nickname?
[0:28] Hilly.
[0:29] Hilly?
[0:30] Oh, Jars.
[0:31] Jars?
[0:32] MJ Momo Jr. Whatever.
[0:35] I like Momo.
[0:36] Momo, boy.
[0:37] Favourite food?
[0:39] Japanese.
[0:40] Italian.
[0:42] Turtle.
[0:45] Japanese.
[0:45] Japanese.
[0:47] If someone's coming to your house and you're having to cook your best dish for them, Hilly, what are you cooking?
[0:52] Probably got to go and TikTok and look at Christian Retraker's news and follow what he does.
[0:56] I always got to look at his stuff.
[0:57] But if I've got lots of people, I'm probably just doing like a big pasta or something.
[1:00] Something that's pretty easy.
[1:02] Linguini lobster.
[1:03] No, I'm joking.
[1:04] That was more bad mode.
[1:07] No, just barbecue for me.
[1:09] Yeah, I'd say barbecue because I don't mind getting on the barbecue.
[1:12] So I normally give you three choices, but just one person.
[1:16] So the three of you are having dinner together and you can all invite one guest anytime, alive, not alive, you've met, you haven't met a person of wonderful, it could be your next door neighbor.
[1:27] The three people, you can invite one each.
[1:30] I'll start with you, Jars.
[1:31] Who's coming to this dinner?
[1:34] Jesus Christ.
[1:35] Right.
[1:35] I would love to obviously meet him.
[1:37] He'd have a fascinating story.
[1:39] Exactly right.
[1:41] My father.
[1:42] Yep.
[1:42] And then Denzel Washington.
[1:44] Denzel Washington.
[1:45] Yeah, he'd be good.
[1:46] Remember the Titans, one of the great films.
[1:47] Denzel's goat.
[1:48] Yeah.
[1:48] Who's coming with for you, MJ?
[1:50] One, two, three, as many as you want.
[1:51] Yeah, I'd say my dad.
[1:53] Yep.
[1:53] Um...
[1:55] I think that's pretty good.
[1:57] I'll take you three.
[1:59] Okay, first car.
[2:03] Hyundai XL.
[2:05] Right.
[2:07] A VE Commodore.
[2:08] And this Navara, still got it now.
[2:10] Have you?
[2:10] Yeah, had it for five years.
[2:12] Right.
[2:13] Maybe six.
[2:13] I'll only ask you this because I know you're obsessed with cars, dream car.
[2:17] is, oh, there's a couple, but it's a HK GDS Monaro or a ML300, which is a gullwing Mercedes, which is pretty cool.
[2:30] How much is it?
[2:31] Oh, it'd be a million US easy.
[2:33] So that's sort of a Nick Watson style wages is what we need.
[2:35] Nick Watson, yeah, that's exactly right.
[2:37] Right, right, right.
[2:38] And that's the chip in.
[2:39] First ever job.
[2:41] I worked at Subway when I was like 16.
[2:43] Did you?
[2:43] And then, yeah, Subway is my first ever.
[2:46] My dad was a builder, so I was helping him.
[2:48] Don't have one.
[2:49] Even better.
[2:51] He's just playing.
[2:52] That's the best.
[2:53] That is the perfect game.
[2:54] I did Subway, then I went to work with my uncles a little bit, doing roof carpentry, then I went to landscape, and then I got drafted.
[3:00] And then I realized footy was a bigger guy.
[3:04] What are you currently watching?
[3:07] Nothing at the moment.
[3:08] I've got no shows.
[3:09] Really?
[3:10] What about you?
[3:10] I just watch movies.
[3:12] Movie?
[3:12] Yeah.
[3:13] Okay.
[3:13] I'll just chuck anything.
[3:14] Just go on Netflix, whatever movie.
[3:15] A lot of old school movies.
[3:17] Yeah.
[3:17] You don't watch too many things when you've got children, right?
[3:21] No, this is true.
[3:22] Finding Nemo's on.
[3:23] Finding Nemo.
[3:24] I've been trying to watch the young Sherlock Holmes.
[3:28] Okay.
[3:28] I've been watching Baby Boss actually a lot too, yeah.
[3:30] Baby Boss.
[3:31] Trash Truck.
[3:31] Trash Truck.
[3:33] That's what Charlie loves it.
[3:35] All about you, MJ.
[3:36] No bluey?
[3:37] Yeah, no bluey, nah.
[3:38] Are you watching anything at the moment?
[3:40] My miss is into the air, find so much and drive to survive.
[3:43] So, yeah, she got really into that.
[3:45] Man, they were over here and she was working over there as well, so it wasn't too bad.
[3:48] I'm obsessed with Formula 1, I think.
[3:50] I'm absolutely obsessed with it.
[3:52] Favourite movie?
[3:53] Seen you're the movie buff?
[3:54] I love Coach Carter.
[3:55] That's a good movie.
[3:55] That is a good movie.
[3:56] That's a very good movie.
[3:57] Coach Carter.
[3:58] Ford v Ferrari.
[3:59] Ford v Ferrari.
[4:00] Another great film.
[4:01] Did you see the new Formula 1 film, the one with Brad Pitt?
[4:04] Yes, that was great.
[4:05] I liked it.
[4:06] Yep, it was.
[4:07] I liked it.
[4:07] Like the technology in it?
[4:09] Correct.
[4:09] I was actually listening to a podcast today about the history of Formula One, and it was talking about, of all these movies, that's Brad Pitt's highest grossing film.
[4:16] Oh, really?
[4:16] And he's been in some big films, too.
[4:18] Yeah, certainly.
[4:19] What about you, MJ?
[4:19] Favourite film?
[4:20] I don't know.
[4:21] I like The Blind Side.
[4:22] The Blind Side?
[4:23] Yeah.
[4:24] Oh, with Sandra Bullock.
[4:25] Yeah.
[4:25] That's a good film.
[4:26] And The Notebook as well.
[4:28] Oh, my.
[4:28] Did you cry?
[4:29] Yeah, you missed as much as I was.
[4:31] I'm like a thousand times.
[4:32] I'm like, why?
[4:33] Do you cry every time?
[4:35] Nah, I just start, but now I'll stop.
[4:37] Music, what are we into?
[4:39] I'll probably listen to country the most.
[4:40] Okay.
[4:41] But then also a bit of like hip hop and stuff.
[4:43] Same country, probably the most, yeah, same.
[4:46] Pretty similar, mixed genre, so I don't mind a bit of everything.
[4:51] Someone that you've met that we would call well-known, not necessarily a celebrity, but someone you've met that we may have heard of, Brad, that you found had a positive impact on you, whether you met them for a minute, an hour, a day.
[5:03] That's a tough one.
[5:04] There's been a lot of people, you know what I mean, that have big impacts on me as a person.
[5:08] I don't know if you – do you have to know them a little bit?
[5:11] No, it doesn't matter.
[5:12] I'd probably even say my host family, like, early days.
[5:15] They probably had to – When you come to the Hawks.
[5:16] Yeah, when I came to the Hawks.
[5:18] They had a massive impact on me.
[5:21] Name them.
[5:22] Jim and Cathy King.
[5:24] We used to live on the same street as the Darcy's.
[5:28] Did you?
[5:28] Yeah.
[5:28] So –
[5:31] Yeah, I just remember, as he said for saying, you can do silly things, but don't do stupid things.
[5:37] I like that.
[5:38] I need to take that one home.
[5:41] It was always interesting when I first moved in there.
[5:43] It was always, Cathy's always slapped my elbows on the dinner table and stuff, get them off.
[5:47] You know, your forks this side, your knives, they're learning all those little things.
[5:52] So that had a big impact on my life.
[5:54] Yeah, it's taught you a lot.
[5:56] Clearly my wife now, but Glenn Manton.
[5:58] Glenn Manton.
[5:59] So yeah, under 15s and then until this day we still have a great relationship.
[6:04] Anyone for you, MJ?
[6:05] There's heaps of people like we've met along the way, but I'd say my host family, I guess, obviously invited me back to their, what, house on one weekend, I think.
[6:16] I never, yeah, I've been there ever since.
[6:19] They took me away to places, took me on holidays, even bought me my first car.
[6:24] So, yeah, I was pretty lucky.
[6:26] Andrew and Andrea.
[6:28] Right.
[6:28] So Andy and Andy Suttles.
[6:30] So, yeah, they were five minutes from the boarding house.
[6:33] Whenever I needed to go up, I'd just go up and stay there, stay with them.
[6:36] And, yeah, they looked after me pretty well.
[6:38] Some good people in the world.
[6:39] There is very good people.
[6:40] Just a few more for you.
[6:42] Something that you think you're good at, it doesn't matter how minuscule it is that we wouldn't be aware, so it can't be football.
[6:49] So, Healy, you rate yourself at what?
[6:52] Probably bodyboarding.
[6:55] Bodyboarding?
[6:56] I'll surf some decent-sized waves.
[6:57] Okay.
[6:58] I like that.
[6:59] I like that.
[7:00] Okay, bodyboarding, Jars.
[7:02] Drifting a car or something like that.
[7:03] Yeah, car drifting.
[7:04] I can see you with that.
[7:04] How many times have you done that?
[7:06] I'm pretty good with a scooter to it.
[7:08] What was the question again?
[7:10] Just something you think you're good at, not footy.
[7:12] Doesn't matter how.
[7:14] So he went bodyboarding.
[7:15] He went drifting a car.
[7:16] I say squash.
[7:17] Squash.
[7:18] I used to play it a little bit as a kid.
[7:20] Jeez, you'd be quick around the court.
[7:22] It'd be hard to beat squash.
[7:26] Favorite holiday destination?
[7:29] I love Bali.
[7:30] Bali?
[7:30] Yeah, I love Bali.
[7:31] Hard to beat?
[7:32] Yeah.
[7:32] Italy for me.
[7:33] Italy.
[7:35] About you, MJ?
[7:36] Yeah.
[7:37] Yeah, Italy.
[7:38] Italy?
[7:38] I'd say.
[7:39] I'm going to go there one day.
[7:40] Okay.
[7:40] Haven't been there.
[7:41] Haven't been.
[7:42] So bucket list.
[7:43] So on that bucket list destination, place you haven't been?
[7:46] I haven't done Europe.
[7:47] I've done America a couple of times.
[7:49] So yeah, I'd love to go to Europe and see a lot of countries.
[7:52] Let's go to Europe together, brads.
[7:54] Yeah.
[7:57] No, it's just Italy for me.
[7:59] Italy, Italy, Italy.
[8:00] Italy.
[8:01] Bora Bora.
[8:01] Bora Bora would be good.
[8:03] Okay, this is going to be hard.
[8:05] First thing that pops in here, first name.
[8:07] It's going to be hard.
[8:08] You're going to upset a lot of people, but let's just go with it.
[8:10] Best player you've played with.
[8:11] Cyril.
[8:11] Cyril.
[8:12] Bang!
[8:12] Best player you've played with, Jars?
[8:14] Too hard.
[8:15] No, yeah.
[8:16] Just name.
[8:16] There could be ten.
[8:17] Just name one.
[8:17] Sean Burgoyne comes one.
[8:18] Sean Burgoyne.
[8:20] Dusty.
[8:20] Dusty.
[8:21] Hardest opponent.
[8:22] I have to say buddy too.
[8:24] Hardest opponent.
[8:26] I used to always find it hard when Blitz, like when we're playing Geelong all the time, but Blitz was on the wing and he's 200 centimetres.
[8:32] I'm 180 centimetres.
[8:33] So it was always a difficult matchup because he's such a good runner as well.
[8:37] And he's still going.
[8:38] Yeah.
[8:38] Eddie Betts.
[8:39] Eddie Betts.
[8:40] Yeah, it taught me a lot.
[8:41] Early days.
[8:42] Yeah, he's too good.
[8:43] I think all of them.
[8:44] I don't know.
[8:45] Yes, I think it's a strong, small or a hybrid back.
[8:50] Yeah.
[8:51] I'd say, yeah.
[8:52] Darm it, Darm it.
[8:56] If you could pick any player in the comp to come to your club, and there's not many left that St Kilda didn't pick up, but I'll say I'm going to be fair, but you could pick any player.
[9:06] Yeah.
[9:07] Previous, current company.
[9:08] Yeah, any part of the company.
[9:09] That's Plane?
[9:10] Yep.
[9:11] Bontempele.
[9:11] Bontempele.
[9:12] Yeah, or Dacos.
[9:13] Okay, no, you can't.
[9:15] Bont's my favorite.
[9:17] I'll say the Bont.
[9:19] Yeah.
[9:19] Jars?
[9:20] Zach Butters.
[9:21] Zach Butters.
[9:22] If he's listening, do you want to say anything down the camera too?
[9:25] Zach Butters, come across my brother.
[9:27] Or you want Zach Merritt.
[9:28] No, Zach, come to us.
[9:30] What about you, MJ?
[9:33] Cozzy.
[9:33] Cozzy, yeah.
[9:35] Yeah.
[9:35] How's he going at the moment?
[9:37] How's Cozzy going?
[9:38] I'll take Cozzy too.
[9:40] You can't have more.
[9:43] This will be the toughest one for you, but you might not be.
[9:46] Are you your favourite Indigenous player?
[9:49] Yeah, Cyril.
[9:50] I said, yeah, Cyril's always sort of been, yeah, my favourite.
[9:54] Yeah, Sean Burghorn again.
[9:55] I'd say Buddy.
[9:57] Buddy.
[9:57] Yeah.
[9:58] Having Buddy and Cyril on the same team.
[10:00] How lucky were you?
[10:01] Yeah, I know.
[10:01] It's pretty lucky I'd have both of them and even Shawnee as well.
[10:04] Yeah, Shawnee as well.
[10:05] Extraordinary.
[10:06] Andrew McLeod's goaded too.
[10:07] Yeah, Andrew.
[10:08] We always finish this the same way.
[10:12] This is the most important question I have for you.
[10:14] You need to look me in the eye when I ask you this question individually.
[10:17] I'm not going to give you the thumbs up or thumbs down until all three of you have completed it.
[10:21] But this defines you as bums on seats footballers, as blokes that we turn up to watch.
[10:27] We'll start with you.
[10:29] You're nervous, aren't you, Hilliard?
[10:30] Yeah.
[10:31] Don't stop it up, bro.
[10:32] Don't stop it up.
[10:33] My legs go.
[10:34] I'm not going to say whether I agree or disagree until the end.
[10:38] You have to look me in the eye.
[10:39] Brad Hill, pineapple on pizza, yes or no?
[10:42] Yeah, I can eat it, yeah.
[10:44] Yes, for you.
[10:44] Jarman Ippi.
[10:46] Pineapple on pizza?
[10:47] Yes.
[10:49] Morris Reale Jr., pineapple on pizza.
[10:51] I love a Hawaiian pizza.
[10:53] He was eating one the other night.
[10:54] Correct answer.
[10:56] Well done, boys.
[10:58] Go well.
[10:58] Stay safe.
[10:59] And next time I'll have pineapple, double pineapple on pizza for you all.
[11:03] Thank you, Brad.
[11:03] Thank you, James.
[11:04] Thanks for having us.
[11:04] Thank you.
