WEBVTT
1
00:00:02.696 --> 00:00:04.037
A listener production.
2
00:00:04.638 --> 00:00:05.638
Okay, are you recording?
3
00:00:08.821 --> 00:00:13.805
Well, this man, he's taken on New South Wales and caned them time and time again.
4
00:00:13.985 --> 00:00:14.926
He plays the ball.
5
00:00:15.186 --> 00:00:17.428
Harrison swept it on the cronk, on the slay.
6
00:00:17.468 --> 00:00:19.630
But no look at Darius Boyd.
7
00:00:19.670 --> 00:00:21.031
Darius Boyd has levelled him up.
8
00:00:21.421 --> 00:00:22.882
He's won a couple of premierships.
9
00:00:22.902 --> 00:00:24.203
He's lived a fascinating life.
10
00:00:24.223 --> 00:00:25.844
You'll hear his full episode next week.
11
00:00:26.185 --> 00:00:27.365
His name is Daris Boyd.
12
00:00:27.385 --> 00:00:33.130
Daris, you've taken on the Blues and crushed them many a time, but are you ready for the Howie Games player profile questions?
13
00:00:33.430 --> 00:00:34.070
Yeah, ready, Howie.
14
00:00:34.090 --> 00:00:34.471
Let's go.
15
00:00:34.831 --> 00:00:35.191
Righto.
16
00:00:35.431 --> 00:00:35.932
Nicknames.
17
00:00:35.992 --> 00:00:37.313
What are your nicknames?
18
00:00:37.353 --> 00:00:37.733
Darbs.
19
00:00:38.053 --> 00:00:41.456
I tried to drop a Boydie on you earlier in the episode.
20
00:00:41.716 --> 00:00:43.897
It didn't go well, so we're sticking with Darbs.
21
00:00:43.917 --> 00:00:45.258
Darbs, what's your favourite food?
22
00:00:45.839 --> 00:00:47.120
If it's healthy, it'd be a steak.
23
00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:48.421
If it's unhealthy, probably KFC.
24
00:00:48.461 --> 00:00:48.661
Yeah.
25
00:00:50.688 --> 00:01:00.712
And your cooking ability, if people are coming round to your place and it's your job to cook and you're trying to impress them with your number one dish, what are you rolling out, Darbs?
26
00:01:01.192 --> 00:01:02.752
Oh, I rate myself with pork roast.
27
00:01:02.772 --> 00:01:07.954
It's probably one of my favourite meals and, yeah, I do a pretty good job and get the crackling right most times.
28
00:01:08.014 --> 00:01:09.955
So pork roast with some nice roast veggies.
29
00:01:10.533 --> 00:01:14.475
What's your secret key to tell the people to get the crackle right?
30
00:01:14.615 --> 00:01:20.038
You've got to have it 24 hours before in the fridge, dry it off so the skin dries.
31
00:01:20.938 --> 00:01:30.703
Then you've got to cut into the – if it's not already cut into the fat, you've got to make some lines into the fat, salt it up, and then the first 20 minutes or so have it on as high as your oven can go.
32
00:01:30.723 --> 00:01:31.284
So probably –
33
00:01:32.184 --> 00:01:38.105
250 plus, 20 minutes, and then turn it back down to 180 and then to cook the rest of the roast through.
34
00:01:38.125 --> 00:01:40.026
So I didn't make that up.
35
00:01:40.046 --> 00:01:44.887
I've stole that off a few recipes to get it right because I've stuffed it a few times and now I'm pretty good at it.
36
00:01:45.427 --> 00:01:50.948
If we talk about the full episode of your experience on SAS, you might have to go on MasterChef after I hear this.
37
00:01:51.008 --> 00:02:02.031
So three people that you've met that you haven't met alive or dead from history or close to you that you would like to come to this amazing pork roast dinner, who are the three people that you're inviting along?
38
00:02:02.491 --> 00:02:04.532
Probably Tom Brady, NFL legend.
39
00:02:04.972 --> 00:02:09.735
Obviously just pick his brain as far as life lessons on and off the field and sporting world.
40
00:02:09.875 --> 00:02:11.295
He's done great in business afterwards.
41
00:02:12.116 --> 00:02:14.297
Probably Dwayne the Rock Johnson, the actor.
42
00:02:14.897 --> 00:02:15.077
Yes.
43
00:02:15.097 --> 00:02:21.180
Similar again, just gone from wrestling into being one of the most profitable and influential actors of all time.
44
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.120
And to be honest, probably just get Wayne over.
45
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.981
I love hearing some, you know, Wayne's got some great one-liners.
46
00:02:28.001 --> 00:02:30.642
He just says some influential and positive things.
47
00:02:30.662 --> 00:02:43.885
He's got great company and probably one thing I've missed not playing under him for the last period now is having those, you know, everyday one-on-one little general chats and that safety and that trust that he just gives you when you're in those spaces as well.
48
00:02:44.245 --> 00:02:46.725
Brady, Bennett and The Rock, that would be outstanding.
49
00:02:46.745 --> 00:02:49.666
Have you seen Ballers with The Rock in it?
50
00:02:49.686 --> 00:02:50.166
I have, yeah, yeah.
51
00:02:50.186 --> 00:02:50.726
Have you seen the show?
52
00:02:50.746 --> 00:02:51.186
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
53
00:02:51.466 --> 00:02:53.069
Quality TV show, that is.
54
00:02:53.089 --> 00:02:53.991
Very good, very good, yeah.
55
00:02:54.011 --> 00:02:54.873
Very good show.
56
00:02:55.013 --> 00:03:00.484
The winds, they all blur together, but the losses are etched into your mind forever.
57
00:03:00.504 --> 00:03:00.725
Forever.
58
00:03:01.312 --> 00:03:07.915
You mentioned, Wayne, giving you a clip about buying a car before you bought a house in the main episode.
59
00:03:07.975 --> 00:03:09.715
What was that first car you bought?
60
00:03:09.955 --> 00:03:11.696
Well, it was actually my second car.
61
00:03:11.736 --> 00:03:17.058
So my first car was a Nissan Pulsar, which was good, just done the job, got me around.
62
00:03:18.259 --> 00:03:21.720
But then I wanted to fancy up my life a little bit.
63
00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:28.243
So before my 21st birthday is the way I sold it to myself, I bought a H3 Hummer.
64
00:03:29.203 --> 00:03:30.423
Big, had the rims.
65
00:03:31.303 --> 00:03:42.245
Yeah, it was not in my personality but knowing me at that time, trying to probably impress people and show off and say how well I'm doing in life as a young silly 21-year-old.
66
00:03:42.906 --> 00:03:45.966
I bought a H3

white Hummer with black rims.
67
00:03:46.086 --> 00:03:46.646
White?
68
00:03:48.046 --> 00:03:48.747
Yeah, yeah.
69
00:03:49.647 --> 00:03:51.347
No wonder the coach gave you a clip.
70
00:03:51.367 --> 00:03:52.327
So that's your first car.
71
00:03:52.587 --> 00:03:56.028
What was your first ever job, the first thing you ever did anything that you got paid for?
72
00:03:57.197 --> 00:04:03.878
I used to do a bit of work experience when I was still at school just with some like rugby league player development coaching stuff through the NRL.
73
00:04:03.898 --> 00:04:05.118
So I do like a one day a week.
74
00:04:05.179 --> 00:04:07.059
I think they pay you 50 to 60 bucks.
75
00:04:07.699 --> 00:04:12.500
You go to just little junior clubs or community events and run the kids through skills.
76
00:04:13.140 --> 00:04:14.260
That was my first kind of job.
77
00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:19.921
Otherwise, when I went to the Broncos, I was a glassy amongst my NRL training for a couple of weeks.
78
00:04:20.261 --> 00:04:24.502
Did the night shifts after NRL training from 6 to almost midnight.
79
00:04:24.782 --> 00:04:26.142
We just talked about Ballers.
80
00:04:26.422 --> 00:04:27.923
What are you currently watching?
81
00:04:28.443 --> 00:04:30.984
I just watched Happy Gilmore 2, actually, the other night.
82
00:04:31.184 --> 00:04:33.284
Happy, I've known you for 30 years.
83
00:04:33.464 --> 00:04:34.405
You're like a son to me.
84
00:04:34.745 --> 00:04:35.305
How much you need?
85
00:04:35.825 --> 00:04:36.605
300 grand.
86
00:04:37.365 --> 00:04:38.126
Good luck tomorrow.
87
00:04:38.206 --> 00:04:38.786
Hit them straight.
88
00:04:39.026 --> 00:04:40.026
That was awesome.
89
00:04:40.126 --> 00:04:50.389
I'm a big Adam Sandler fan and love all his movies from the early days and to see him recreate that and some of the links between the first one and second one, yeah, I really enjoyed it.
90
00:04:50.827 --> 00:04:51.908
How good were the cameos?
91
00:04:51.928 --> 00:05:01.654
Like when they were down in the dinner and there was like JT and Jack Nicklaus was there and then Ricky Fowler, it was like spot the golfer.
92
00:05:01.694 --> 00:05:03.455
Scotty, you have been on quite a tear.
93
00:05:03.815 --> 00:05:08.078
Oh, my God, you're seeing the ball and the hole and the position of the ball and hole, all good things.
94
00:05:09.080 --> 00:05:10.061
Is there a question in there, Gary?
95
00:05:10.321 --> 00:05:10.781
So good.
96
00:05:10.821 --> 00:05:11.161
It was cool.
97
00:05:11.181 --> 00:05:15.004
Some of the golfers, it was Travis Kelsey, the NFL player, is the waiter as well.
98
00:05:15.064 --> 00:05:17.566
So I love how he does that, gets his friends on board.
99
00:05:17.586 --> 00:05:19.407
He has all the same cast in all of these movies.
100
00:05:19.447 --> 00:05:25.771
I think that's what brings a bit of lighthearted and fun to his movies and the comedy side of it as well.
101
00:05:26.071 --> 00:05:27.072
So you watch Happy
Gilmore.
102
00:05:27.092 --> 00:05:28.453
What's your favourite movie of all time?
103
00:05:28.708 --> 00:05:29.548
Probably The Hangover.
104
00:05:30.208 --> 00:05:31.309
There's some classic ones there.
105
00:05:31.349 --> 00:05:35.090
Just some of the, actually I had one of them on last night just in the background while I was doing other things.
106
00:05:35.170 --> 00:05:42.112
And yeah, some of those old classic movies, some of the fun, that Zach Galifianakis, he's all time, Alan as he's called on the show.
107
00:05:42.132 --> 00:05:47.753
Just some of his one-liners, some of his hair flutters and his satchel and these other things.
108
00:05:47.854 --> 00:05:49.674
It's yeah, top movie.
109
00:05:49.874 --> 00:05:51.615
Hey guys, you ready to let the dogs out?
110
00:05:51.975 --> 00:05:52.175
What?
111
00:05:52.255 --> 00:05:52.595
Do what?
112
00:05:53.818 --> 00:05:56.583
Let the dogs out, you know, like, who let the dogs out?
113
00:05:56.763 --> 00:05:57.604
Who, who?
114
00:05:57.965 --> 00:05:58.827
Who brought this guy along?
115
00:05:59.107 --> 00:06:01.391
Yes, Alan, we are ready to let the dogs out.
116
00:06:01.712 --> 00:06:02.413
Music.
117
00:06:02.433 --> 00:06:03.595
What are you into musically?
118
00:06:03.947 --> 00:06:05.508
Oh, it really depends on the environment.
119
00:06:05.528 --> 00:06:09.370
You know, if I'm training, it might be a bit like techno, upbeat type stuff.
120
00:06:10.591 --> 00:06:14.253
Otherwise, if it's more about like reflecting and thoughts, it might be a bit more country.
121
00:06:14.434 --> 00:06:21.718
But to be honest, every time I'm dropping my girls at school, three girls, the little fellas at home, there's some K-pop stuff.
122
00:06:21.898 --> 00:06:23.079
It's Taylor Swift.
123
00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:24.120
Yeah, it's...
124
00:06:24.922 --> 00:06:26.683
The Wiggles, Peppa Pig kind of things.
125
00:06:26.723 --> 00:06:35.390
Yeah, it's all the girly sing-along things, which I don't mind because I love hearing them singing in the car away home or away to school and they're just happy and fully invested in it.
126
00:06:35.410 --> 00:06:38.372
And, yeah, to be honest, I've probably become a fan of some of those songs as well.
127
00:06:39.013 --> 00:06:51.182
You will have met a lot of people in your rugby league journey of what we would call well-known or celebrity nature, someone reasonably well-known that you've met, Darbs, that's made a positive impression on you.
128
00:06:51.578 --> 00:06:53.059
Well, I would have to say Wayne, I guess.
129
00:06:53.099 --> 00:06:54.380
I could probably say that a lot.
130
00:06:54.420 --> 00:07:01.464
But for what he did for me, not only in the regular league field, but more importantly off the field, and that's been through my mental health journey.
131
00:07:01.504 --> 00:07:10.129
It's through becoming a father for the first time, from retiring from sports to what I'm doing after sport, even into doing a bit of coaching these days.
132
00:07:10.370 --> 00:07:17.174
He's given me so much wisdom and advice that he's been really impactful for me for a lot of reasons for a long period of time.
133
00:07:17.788 --> 00:07:20.110
Can you flick him a text and ask him to come on the podcast with me?
134
00:07:20.130 --> 00:07:20.491
I'll do it.
135
00:07:20.611 --> 00:07:21.932
I'll have to do it, yeah.
136
00:07:22.833 --> 00:07:25.435
Make sure you send me his response as well.
137
00:07:25.455 --> 00:07:25.836
Yeah, yeah.
138
00:07:25.876 --> 00:07:28.618
Favourite holiday destination for you and Kayla and the kids?
139
00:07:29.619 --> 00:07:31.421
We've been to Hawaii a few times.
140
00:07:32.342 --> 00:07:32.522
Yeah.
141
00:07:33.003 --> 00:07:33.783
Yeah, the girls love it.
142
00:07:33.803 --> 00:07:37.847
It's just a good mix of, you know, walking along the strip in Waikiki with all the shops and...
143
00:07:38.948 --> 00:07:47.676
restaurants and things and obviously you've got the beach on your doorstep there as well and there's a zoo there and there's an aquarium and there's a water park and yeah, there's a lot of things to do.
144
00:07:47.716 --> 00:07:49.237
So yeah, we really enjoy Hawaii.
145
00:07:49.618 --> 00:07:52.200
Bucket list destination, somewhere you haven't been that you'd like to go?
146
00:07:53.010 --> 00:07:54.191
Well, I've been to LA before.
147
00:07:54.211 --> 00:08:01.660
I probably have to say LA again, only because I can't think of it off the top of my head, but I really enjoyed that when I watched the Lakers play.
148
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.424
It was LeBron's first game for the Lakers in 2018.
149
00:08:04.544 --> 00:08:05.605
Oh, wow.
150
00:08:05.625 --> 00:08:06.426
Which was pretty cool.
151
00:08:06.686 --> 00:08:08.388
Yeah, they played the Raptors, I think.
152
00:08:09.349 --> 00:08:11.152
My wife, Kayla, she really enjoyed that experience.
153
00:08:11.172 --> 00:08:11.612
It's just the...
154
00:08:12.533 --> 00:08:22.240
the music and the, and the upbeat and the crowd so close in basketball, we are more of an NFL fan, but we've been to a San Fran game, uh, in NFL and it's just, you know, it's further away.
155
00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:23.321
The game takes longer.
156
00:08:23.341 --> 00:08:24.641
There's less hype and music.
157
00:08:24.681 --> 00:08:26.803
So, um, and we weren't there long enough.
158
00:08:26.823 --> 00:08:33.067
So to go and experience some of the restaurants and, um, downtown and other parts of LA, I think I'd probably just love to go back there again.
159
00:08:33.087 --> 00:08:34.788
Do you listen to podcasts?
160
00:08:35.009 --> 00:08:35.449
Yeah, I do.
161
00:08:35.509 --> 00:08:35.709
Yep.
162
00:08:35.769 --> 00:08:35.969
Yep.
163
00:08:36.310 --> 00:08:38.191
Give me a recommendation of one to listen to.
164
00:08:39.229 --> 00:08:42.117
One I've listened to the most probably, it's called The Daily Motivation.
165
00:08:42.137 --> 00:08:44.203
I think his name's Lewis Howes.
166
00:08:44.223 --> 00:08:46.349
He's an ex-athlete over in the US.
167
00:08:47.313 --> 00:08:51.355
And the reason I like that is because a lot of it's just like he does a lot of like eight to ten minute snippets.
168
00:08:52.195 --> 00:08:55.157
So you obviously don't have to, you know, it's a 40 minute podcast.
169
00:08:55.217 --> 00:09:01.059
And if you drive 10 minutes to work or however you listen to them, you don't have to break it up into three or four little sittings.
170
00:09:01.079 --> 00:09:01.920
He does little breakups.
171
00:09:01.940 --> 00:09:08.703
But the best part about that because of the, you know, the well-being and I guess growth mindset and the things I like to surround myself with, he does a lot of stuff in the…
172
00:09:09.463 --> 00:09:13.987
In those fields, it gets influential people on that, you know, Jay Shetty's a life coach that's been on there.
173
00:09:14.027 --> 00:09:15.408
He gets Tony Robbins on there.
174
00:09:15.448 --> 00:09:23.194
It gets people that, you know, psychologists that speak about happiness or relationships or man's search for meaning and culture.
175
00:09:23.235 --> 00:09:28.259
He gets all the financial education, you know, so brain health, gut health, you know, diet.
176
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:32.142
So just gets all these different topics and people on there that talk about those things.
177
00:09:32.583 --> 00:09:39.334
important realms, I guess, and you can listen to those and pick the topic you kind of want and get some really good information and understanding on them, which is cool.
178
00:09:39.675 --> 00:09:40.176
What's it called?
179
00:09:40.556 --> 00:09:41.638
The Daily Motivation.
180
00:09:41.778 --> 00:09:41.999
Right.
181
00:09:42.119 --> 00:09:42.860
I'll check that one out.
182
00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:43.882
Last couple for you.
183
00:09:44.948 --> 00:09:47.649
What, if anything, scares you?
184
00:09:47.989 --> 00:09:59.894
Oh, spiders, snakes, being claustrophobic in a tight space, anything impacting my young family, my children obviously is a big one.
185
00:10:01.434 --> 00:10:05.496
Yeah, probably social media for them as they grow and develop, especially my girls.
186
00:10:05.516 --> 00:10:05.696
Yep.
187
00:10:05.776 --> 00:10:15.233
Yeah, there's a few things, but not so much scared, just more making sure I'm really prepared and trying to surround themselves with good ways to, you know, get themselves through that is probably the best way to put it.
188
00:10:16.032 --> 00:10:18.093
Obviously a gun rugby league player.
189
00:10:18.694 --> 00:10:23.497
Tell us something else, Darbs, that we wouldn't know about that you actually rate yourself at.
190
00:10:23.717 --> 00:10:28.080
Like I am also, I'm good at rugby league but I'm also good at it.
191
00:10:28.140 --> 00:10:30.821
I was all right at athletics as a kid but probably tennis.
192
00:10:31.101 --> 00:10:33.343
I did a bit of tennis at school.
193
00:10:33.923 --> 00:10:37.946
So whenever there's a tennis comp on with staff at footy training or whether it's just...
194
00:10:38.506 --> 00:10:41.088
My daughter's doing it now, so she keeps saying she wants to have a game with me.
195
00:10:41.108 --> 00:10:43.629
Yeah, I rate myself for a little bit of tennis.
196
00:10:43.649 --> 00:10:50.973
I get a decent serve when it goes in, and then I can definitely hold a rally and get myself around the court, which is probably an attribute of mine as well.
197
00:10:51.574 --> 00:10:55.636
Your full episode comes out next week, but this is the most important question I have for you, Darbs.
198
00:10:55.676 --> 00:11:04.682
This defines you as a father, as a husband, as a Queenslander, as an NRL premiership player, as a man doing fantastic work in the community.
199
00:11:05.526 --> 00:11:06.387
Are you ready for this one?
200
00:11:06.807 --> 00:11:07.107
Ready.
201
00:11:07.668 --> 00:11:11.010
Darius Boyd as a Queenslander as well.
202
00:11:11.270 --> 00:11:13.372
Pineapple on pizza, yes or no?
203
00:11:13.732 --> 00:11:13.992
No.
204
00:11:14.653 --> 00:11:15.033
Or no?
205
00:11:15.173 --> 00:11:15.694
Definitely not.
206
00:11:16.849 --> 00:11:18.210
You're in Queensland, man.
207
00:11:18.350 --> 00:11:19.690
You're a Bronco.
208
00:11:19.950 --> 00:11:21.191
You're a Maroon.
209
00:11:21.231 --> 00:11:22.312
What's going on up there?
210
00:11:22.332 --> 00:11:25.913
I mean, I could do it, but just I love pineapple, but I just like it cold.
211
00:11:25.933 --> 00:11:27.154
I don't like it on my pizza.
212
00:11:27.834 --> 00:11:28.735
Yeah, I'm a big meat eater.
213
00:11:28.755 --> 00:11:35.858
I love my meat, and I'd rather go like a nice barbecue meat lovers and then finish off with a bit of cold pineapple on the side afterwards.
214
00:11:36.258 --> 00:11:37.278
Okay, so that's a fail.
215
00:11:37.358 --> 00:11:41.579
If you get two fails, right, your episode may not go to air.
216
00:11:41.959 --> 00:11:43.399
This is the second one I have for you.
217
00:11:43.419 --> 00:11:44.600
So do not fail this.
218
00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:45.180
All right, ready.
219
00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:46.320
I'll start again.
220
00:11:46.380 --> 00:11:50.021
Darius Boyd, peanut butter, crunchy or smooth?
221
00:11:50.301 --> 00:11:51.021
Oh, I like both.
222
00:11:51.061 --> 00:11:53.722
But if I had to choose one, I'd go smooth.
223
00:11:53.942 --> 00:11:57.602
Oh, no, because you're asking two and I don't have a third question.
224
00:11:58.022 --> 00:12:00.023
Mate, your full episode's out next week.
225
00:12:00.063 --> 00:12:02.023
People are really going to enjoy it and learn a lot from it.
226
00:12:02.043 --> 00:12:03.684
Thanks again for joining me on the Howie Games.
227
00:12:03.944 --> 00:12:04.244
No worries.
228
00:12:04.264 --> 00:12:04.644
Thanks, Harry.
229
00:12:04.664 --> 00:12:05.324
I really appreciate it.
