Recorded on August 6, 2016, at 6:24PM in the West Indies, this chat with Mike Haysman was meant to be one of the first-ever episodes… until Howie forgot to label the files. They were lost. And now they are found. And some stories are too good to stay buried. Before he became one of cricket’s most respected broadcasters, Haysy was a cricketer tipped to be the next big thing in Australian cricket, a man who received handwritten notes from Sir Donald Bradman, took part in the infamous rebel tour of...

A deep dive into one of the secret weapons of longevity—sleep. Or in this case, the brutal reality of not getting enough. Pendles is wrecked. One of the hardest sessions yet. Neck is sore. Feet hurt. Sleep? Non-existent. But this is why you push. This is why you harden your body in pre-season—to survive 25 weeks of AFL warfare. So, what’s next? Walk it off. Hit the sauna. Hot and colds. Family time. Then onto the bike… and what happens next might just surprise you. Plus, an elite breakdown of wh...

Meanwhile, Howie flips the script—turning to Alex, Pendles' wife, for the real story on sacrifice, commitment, and the emotional toll of 20 years at the top. Grinding through pa...

Christmas isn’t an off-season—it’s just another checkpoint in the pursuit of greatness. Pendles takes us inside the mental game. The lessons from Paul Licuria. The art of pushing yourself beyond comfort. Learning to enjoy the hurt. Plus his Christmas discipline. And, one last brutal leg session at 6AM before heading to Bali with the family. A run in the heat on arrival. The break - if you even call it that - is short-lived. A bout of Bali belly on return, and the focus sharpens—dialling in on nu...
