Dyl & Friends

This week on the show I’m joined by my friend, Hunter Johnson. Hunter is the CEO and founder of the Man Cave. The Man Cave programs are designed to be transformational, and to support the psychological and emotional development of young men, HUGE! But we touched on so much more!Healthy masculinity, role models, respect for women, emotional intelligence and authentic conversations with our mates. It was such an eye opening chat for me, I felt I was pretty well versed in these areas but even some of these topics were really hard for me to articulate -it shows the importance of having these conversations. So happy we got to get this episode done and hope you learnt as much as I did from it!If you loved the episode please think about leaving a review ,subscribe or follow on any platform you listen to. Also if you think someone close to you needs to hear this chat maybe even send it to them to get some goo conversations started!Hunter JohsnonInstagram -The Man Cave -STUFF Skincare -Patreon - Dyl & Best FriendsPS.

This week on the show on Dyl & Friends I’m joined by one of the if not the absolute GOAT of Australia Basketball, Andrew Gaze. I've wanted to have this legend on the show for a long time. It was truly a pleasure.We spoke about the boomers fresh off the olympics and what the medals mean for Aus Basketball. Gazey took us all the way back to his playing days with the Melbourne Tigers and the boom of basketball, how big it was in Australia, the certain reasons it fell away and why its coming back now bigger than ever being one of the best breeding grounds for the NBA, challenging the US college system in recent years.Some outrageous stories of international basketball and some of the crazy lifestyles players lead and his incredible outlook on life and positivity that he shares with everyone. Hope you enjoy this ep as much as I did!Andrew GazeInstagram - www.instagram.com/andrewgaze10/Twitter - www.twitter.com/AndrewGazePatreon - Dyl & Best FriendsPS.

This week on the show, Jack Post. You may know Jack from his days working with Hamish and Andy as “Cackling Jack” and more recently, as Christian O’Connell’s co-host on his brekky show.We spoke about his journey from his uni days at SYN FM to hustling every job he could find at radio stations in Adelaide and then back in Melbourne where he crossed paths with up and comers Hamish and Andy. A path that would tie him to the duo for 13 years until this day.We touched on his love for music and broadcasting as well as his not so smooth run-ins with multiple AFL players and Clubs. He’s a do-er and I love that about him. I think you’ll get a lot out of this chat with Jack and can’t thank him enough for coming in to chat.Jack PostInstagram - www.instagram.com/jackpostPodcast - www.jacky-road-studios.simplecast.comPatreon - Dyl & Best FriendsPS.

This week on Dyl & Friends we have Brandon Jack. Brandon Jack is a former AFL player for the Sydney Swans turned musician and author! He’s just released his first book called 28 which has been described as “A memoir of football, addiction, art, masculinity and love”. Brandon and I connected on the intricacies of playing in the AFL and the things that go through anyones mind on the fringe. Trying to be someone you’re not, thinking ill of teammates to feel better about yourself, dealing with tall poppy syndrome and even being a part of the problem. Brandon’s book paints this detailed portrait of his early years of adulthood and joining AFL where he avoided any vulnerability and the lengths at which he went to be liked rather than respected.Can’t thank Brandon enough for his time! Make sure you check out his book! 28 A memoir of football, addiction, art, masculinity and loveBrandon JackInstagram - www.instagram.com/brandonjackkBook - www.booktopia.com.au/28-brandon-jackPatreon - Dyl & Best FriendsPS.

This week on the show, I am incredibly excited to bring to you a Dyl & Friends first with our inaugural musical guest, Telenova. Telenova is a fresh-faced but wildly experienced new Melbourne based super-group. The band features trio Angeline Armstrong, Ed Quinn and Joshua Moriarty. Telenova’s trio all have diverse artistic backgrounds, Ange is a superstar film director, Ed was one half of Slum Sociable and Josh is the lead singer of Miami Horror.I wanted to get Telenova on for two reasons, I wanted to learn more about the music industry from a band with vast experience yet starting from scratch and two, they’re superbly talented and I wanted to be on the bandwagon early.I absolutely loved hosting Telenova and loved the conversation we got to share about what the music industry is really like, how creative minds collaborate together and how Josh ended up in Robert Pattinson’s spa in LA.Can’t thank Ange, Ed and Josh enough for joining me and I hope you enjoy this Dyl and Friends first with my new friends - Telenova.Telenova Instagram - www.instagram.com/telenovaofficialWebsite - www.telenovamusic.comPatreon - Dyl & Best FriendsPS.

This week on Dyl & Friends one of my fav players of all time and all round just good person, Jarryd Roughead.Roughy is a game and x4 time premiership player with Hawthorn FC.Recapping his story through this chat just made me realise what this man has achieved in his time in the game. Being able to win flags and play some incredible football for one club over a long period of time is crazy, careers don't come around like this too often!Not only has Roughy done some incredible things on the field but his resilience and positive outlook on life through his cancer scares throughout his time is nothing short of remarkable. Now on the football admin side of the fence working in List Management at the saints it was unreal to sit down and unpack some of his career - I could have chatted to him all day!Early days at the Hawks, getting picked up with Buddy and Jordan Lewis, winning Flags in '08 '13 '14 '15, Hawthorns culture and why its so strong, the importance of being a one club player and the adversity he faced throughout his career and so much more!Cant thank the Rough man enough for his time and make sure you go and get his autobiography, Roughy - there’s so much more in this and makes an unreal read!

This week we have Nick Stone on the show! Nick Stone is a former AFL player with Hawthorn, Collingwood and St Kilda Football Club. He played 20 games across 5 years in the AFL and has some incredible stories.When footy finished, Nick moved over to New York in 2010 to work in investment banking and through working in the US Nick discovered a gap in the coffee and cafe industry - there was nothing that compared to an Australian coffee in the US. With no real experience in hospitality, he opened his first cafe Bluestone Lane in 2013 to remedy the need for an Aussie-style café in America, growing the concept to over 50 stores by the end of 2019.The story is bloody unbelievable! He is a seriously switched on unit, I took so much out of this chat especially if you're looking at starting your own business!Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Cant thank Nick enough for his time and when you're next over in the states make sure you check out one his cafes.Nick StoneInstagram - instagram.com/bluestonelane/Website - https://bluestonelane.com/Patreon - Dyl & Best FriendsPS.

One of the biggest names and bodies in the league, Max Gawn. Loved this chat with this superstar! Gawny genuinely has an incredible story - from a carefree teenager, to the determined captain of the Melbourne Football Club.As soon as this bloke walked into the studio we realised why this guy is captain - everything you like about him is understated! We touched on it all - some tough years at the Dees, how the culture shifted for the club and the path they’re on now, the art of being a ruckman, his love of cycling, aircrafts, hospitality and plenty more!Loved this chat with this great man who is just a star on and off the field.
