Speaker 1 (00:03):
So welcome along to the Unnamed Podcast Friday, the twenty
second of November twenty twenty four. Are we happy with
the Unnamed Podcast?

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Name?

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Just quickly?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, it's like when you go to Thailand and you
eat the no name on the menu. Did you even
eat the no name?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Never?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Ah? And the no name is basically like a pair tie,
but it's called a no name. They obviously stuck with
the fact that he ever had a name and it
stayed a no name.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
So it's the dish without a name. Yeah, but I
mean that dish doesn't have to name. Can't it just
be what's in the dish?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well that's why it's called no name, I suppose. I mean,
what are you going to call the podcast otherwise? The
Jerry and Sprinkling of Friends.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Well, the problem is that every day I look at
the sign that's up here and I'm struggling to get
over it. Well, this is Jeremy Wells and friends and
it's just me with no friends around me at all.
It's like it's a cruel it's been a cruel joke.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well, it's pretty much been Jimmy Wells with an agenda, really,
isn't it's been myself and the nice Stuart with a
sprinkling of Joey Wheeler, Morgan pen and Inholey.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
And that's it. Yeah. So, but I mean the photo
that I'm looking at every day where it just is
Jeremy Wells and friends and it's just me and that's
so sad. And it's a sad looking photo of me too.
But someone's showing something out mass.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Because you've put your foot down and you've said no
messy on our marketing.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
You said that years ago. You know, it's just lets
me sure, I'm going to put some friends around me though.
This is what you get now, mate, So shame on you.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Hey, hey, hey, hey, back that I was in charge
of Hodaki when I put the no meshy Yeah, I
get no meshy roll here?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Why are we still following? Why are we still following that?
If you're looking for some friends on a billboard beside you, like,
I want friends, I don't want you.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I'm friends, yeah, Jeremy Wells and colleagues exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I feel like we might be friends. I don't know
you and me, Yeah, I mean we're work acquaintances and
good work acquaintances, like really good work acquaintances. Well, have
you thought about this that every five minutes or so
we speak to each other under juries for about three
and a half minutes. Yeah, every every no, every three minutes.

(02:10):
We're paid close to three were paid. Well, I'm paid,
you're not. I'm paid to talk to you. Yeah, too much,
but over the radio and you're you do it for
the ships and giggles. But you know that's so you're
I don't think that's that's not a friendship. That's that's
called a work paid relationship.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
He's an oral prostitute.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
You've just brought to light. I'm just now trying to
do the math in my head of pay to minutes
actually worked on the clock for you, because that's disturbing,
isn't it. Well, I mean, like if you're because you
were just saying before about the fact that we only
work together because we have to for about three minutes
once every five minutes. Yep, if you were to apply

(02:49):
the same logic to your job, it's quite impressive with
you how much you get paid per minute? Like one
day you are going to get found out, you know that.
I think I've been I've been found out. Don't worry
about that. I was found out from day one. Maybe
they should just wipe you off the billboard as well
and then just have no one just friends.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I think we should probably go friends and friends. What
about But we're looking at the name of the podcast,
the currently no named, unnamed podcast.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Look, it's if it's me, if it's well with me,
unnamed podcast named podcast. Why does a podcast need a name,
doesn't need a hard case name.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
No.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
I mean you've got to I guess you if you
want to sell it to someone.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Or give them the name, then if they've got enough money,
it can be the be the Bunnings podcast.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
That's a good point matter. Hamous Kerr on the podcast
today Olympic gold middle old middleist gold middleist tamers great here.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
He's got great here. I was watching the Olympics. The
best here out of any Olympian I've seen. It was dark,
it was it was thick, and it was just brush
back beautifully. He's got legs that go all the way
all the way to Heaven, all the way to yah,
they really do. Yeah, well all the way to his
haircut anyway.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
You guys might want to fuck him, but well Jesus, Yeah,
I mean I wouldn't say that. Yeah, well, if he
if he climbed in your window. Firstly, he wouldn't have
to he could high jump in your window.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
And if he was wearing the gold medal, you wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Say no, no, don't tell me if the lights were
out and he climbed in your window, Hamish Kurt Olympic
gold medalist, if it's a summary and nobody knew, and
then just you're by yourself and nobody would even know,
and he was never going to say anything. Don't tell
me that. You wouldn't at least hashim.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
He put the gold middle around your neck?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Hem?

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Is she if my Olympic champion?

Speaker 1 (04:35):
If he high jumped in my window at night, in
your sash window.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Rosby flop he's going through the little gap, rosby flopping
onto your ba when he lands and he lands on
your shoulders, comes back and then he flips up onto
his feet and go, let's get out at MESHI.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Don't tell me you wouldn't. You wouldn't say yes.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Is he nude when he's coming through the Oh?

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Sweet?

Speaker 3 (04:55):
But what about one.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Of those failed jumps?

Speaker 4 (04:57):
You know when people to a fail jump and you
run up and then straight through and you just go
so that he's just going to go straight through.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
There he can foul jump under my bed. I'm fine
with that. I'm going to ask him first question, I think,
and this is a good legitimate question. Have you ever
high jumped Node? Yeah, that's my first question.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Well, I guess with Frosby with the flop as well,
they won't getting the way of the downstairs because you're
going over back first. So it's kind of you know,
unlike the pole volt you know where there was that
athlete that knocked the pole vot off with his balls
and the Olympics, which went viral. Next day, a female
athlete dislodged the pole with their titties. They didn't go anywhere.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Interesting. Yeah, interesting. So the Frosby flop had nothing to
do with the fact that Frosby, yes, was the first
person to ever high jump Node, and he would flop
and the balls would flop over. I think we should
talk to him us about this be first, because you
can't with the balls if you move.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Ancient Greece they would have done it, nude, wouldn't they did?
They have the high jump and ancient Greek Olympics because
they would.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Have udmos will know whether they did that. You can't scissor.
You can't scissor high jump node because your balls will
get imagine that on the bottom of the thing, whereas
the Frosby flop because you're protecting your balls because you're
going over backwards.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
And you're almost if you've got a big package, it's
almost well, if you swing it the right way, it'll
almost act as a pendulum to get the hips up
as well, because if you're throwing all the junk skyward,
it's going to bring your hips with you, which is
important to get over that high jump.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, I think might be with us. Now, Hamish, are
you there.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Start being serious? All right, Well, I.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Don't know if you've been able to hear what we've
just been talking about, but my first question to you
is have you ever high jump node?

Speaker 5 (06:47):
Well, no, I haven't, And the reasons for that is
that we actually train on the side of quite a
main road and crash.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, I think.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
That, And it's also actually on a school, so I
think that that's probably something that you Yeah, my future
career prospects would probably be the greatest.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Okay, my second question for you, and and this I've
been thinking about for ages. It was so when they
originally were doing high jump, they were obviously scissoring, and
then Frosby came along and flopped Was he high jumping nude?
And was part of the reason that he moved away
from the scissor because with the scissor you get your

(07:26):
balls on the top of the high jump pole, and
so Frosby would flop over to protect this balls from
hitting the high jump. Thanks for joining us this morning.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Hey, look, thanks for having me, you know, I mean
Frosby's first name was Dix, So maybe there was something
in that, right, he was too good? Was who was
too well endowed? And he had to change the game?

Speaker 2 (07:51):
She changed the game, didn't He completely did change it?
Another question, have you ever used the high jump for
other purposes? Like we're talking about young Meshi here, who's
one of our produces. He's a young buck. He's climbed
many drain pipes to get into the second story rooms.
He's climbed up trellises. He climbed up an ivy treillis
once it came off just before he got to the
window and fell backwards. And I was just wondering whether

(08:12):
he'd ever used it to your advantage. Maybe you could
Frosby flopped straight through a through a window and onto
the bed.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
It'd be a window.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Quite a manoeuver, wouldn't It would be good at Yeah,
I actually.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
I haven't jumped through any windows, but a few years
ago I thought it'd be cool to try and jump
onto my bed.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
But it was a slap It was actually a slap
bed and.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Yeah, all make a crash and the bed just completely collapsed,
which wasn't great. But I think I think at that
time also it was probably a little bit overweight, so
it was probably a good good reminder that, you know,
if you're trying to jump as high as possible, sometimes
that little extras.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Is not great.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Actually, how much of it is to do with that?
So do you have to think I mean, obviously you
don't look like you're carrying any extra weight at all, Hamish,
but one kg probably makes quite a difference when you're
trying to jump two point three four me.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, it does.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
But also, I mean probably one of the big things
as well was your injury resilience. And you know, we
put sort of ten times our body weight through our
ankle or you know, just a whole league on takeoffs
and so you know, a couple of extra kgs suddenly
you're just dealing with so much more force. That actually
sort of in a way, it's I think for me,
you know, I can't jump Hibie, It just it just hurts.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Do you and fast Bottles have the same physio? I'm
just imagining it's just you in terms out they're going
to the same DA because you, guys, about the only
profession that's putting that kind of stress through your front
leg I guess right.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, yeah, there is actually some similarities.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
I had a few sort of ankle and back injuries
in the last few years, and my physio did sort.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Of look around at who we could talk to.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
And had a few chets to some of the cricket
the cricket guys because it's is obviously very similar. But yeah,
it's it's a weird movement, right, Like you don't really
learn that physio school.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
As you actually look a little bit like Tom say
they too, actually, but that's a huge compliment. Have you
ever considered putting some kind of springs in your ankles?
So like if if you have a surgery.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
Some serious questions are coming up homous curve.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
By the way, a surgery to put springs in your
ankles or at least in the bottom of your heels.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
What they confused for that at the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I mean, it's a it's a great, great question, Jeremy.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
I mean, I I'm not Yeah, it's not something we've
locked in, but I think, you know, in the next
four years one of the big, the big key kind
of things for us as innovation. So so you know,
I'd love to sit down with you at some point
and just get all these great ideas and just chuck
them on the piece of paper. And you know, I
mean totally Vallibate's definitely something in that, right.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
That's one of the greatest answers because I get those
answers quite a lot of hamished meetings where you know,
no idea is a bad idea, and I spout these
ideas out and some of the room goes, look, Lane,
that's that's very good. I'm glad you've thought of that.
We'll put it down on the board and start. But
underlying is shut that please and let but hey saying

(11:04):
that though, we'll deal with it in the future, right, yeah, yeah,
we'll circle back we'll circle back. We'll circle back to
that one, Jerry, We'll circle back.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
It's either that springs in your on your ankles or
your heels, or some kind of small rockets that sort
of can propel you up. Maybe in the shorts.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
The shoe, the shoe they do has a shoe that's
been banned because is that the marathon runner he wore
when he broke that world record unofficial world record with
the with the laser kind of thing and he had
illegal shoes on because they had too much spring in them?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Is that those Nikes? There's those Nike shoes up. But
do they test your shoes? Yes?

Speaker 3 (11:42):
They do, yes.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
So it was one of the things I had to
do after after Wining Gold was I had to give
them my shoes and they took these photos of them
and they have to send them away.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
So yeah, it's something that's changed quite a lot in
the last few years.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
Obviously, running, you know, everyone everyone knows that the night
the big nikes that everyone runs runs, run club and and.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
All the rest of it.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
So yeah, there's definitely some big innovations, but in high
jump not so much. To be honest, I think that
we're also particular about what kind of shoe we wear.
You know, they sort of just don't really change that
often because otherwise we all get shitty with them and
tell them to change it back to the old one.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Can you jump higher in altitude?

Speaker 5 (12:17):
We've never tried, I think. I mean potentially the other
thing as well, which is great innovation, which you know
we've talked about, is potentially just inhaling helium. You know,
I think I think that in terms of those melimeters
definitely would make a difference.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Rightly for the aftermach speech would be good.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Is there any way of thanks for coming? What about
like do you ever jump on a full bladder? Because
that must make a bit of a difference, you're talking
about if it's two or three hundred miles, that's what
point three of a kilogram?

Speaker 5 (12:53):
Yeah, controlled dehydrations definitely they claiming for us, you know,
trying to trying to make sure that we're obviously not
impacting our performance, but also making sure there's nothing just
slocking around that for sure.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah. Now, how miss Jerry and Gilane are going to
keep asking some quality questions here, but I feel like
at some point we are going to have to talk
to you about what happened a couple of months ago
in the Olympics, Bro, because what you were involved in
was one of the more impressive kind of spectacles that
we've actually seen, especially in track in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, it was an emotional rollercoaster too, because coverage over
here I was I wasn't watching it per se, but
I was on the road and I was reading a
blog and you won gold twice and got gold taken
off you twice on the blog. It was so it
was an emotional rollercoaster.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's so congrats and what did happen there, Bro, because
we saw such a weird kind of view of what
was going on, you know, on your side of things.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
Yeah, well, look, I'm just glad I wasn't reading the
blog because it did sound like there was sort of
a lot of people not quite know there was there
were times where I didn't know what was going on either,
which was quite funny. So you know, I'm sort of
sitting there in the stadium and I'm sort of talking
to the officials, going to wait, who's who's winning, Who's not? Like, Oh,
and I suppose Yeah, I mean, ultimately I knew, I

(14:04):
knew kind of weird everything was sitting. But yeah, it
was amazing. It was just such a cool experience. You know,
for me, I've never been a part of the jump
off before. It's actually really you know, there's there's almost
no chance for happening. It's it's very unlikely, and so yeah,
to have it happen, Actually, two Olympic finals in a
row is pretty unprecedented films.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
So it was it was was that fatigue?

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Were you feeling fatigued by the end of it? I
was just.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, I was caught. Yeah, I was cocked.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
I was hungry, you know, I just wanted to go
to Meccas and just just have a burger and just
have a good sleep. But yeah, I had to keep
going unfortunately, So but yeah, got to their last.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
One, and you know, once I got I was start
oh fuck. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Can you tell us the conversation between that you had
with Shelby? What what was the conversation? What what happened?

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (14:50):
Look, I mean it was a pretty quick conversation. Like
I think all the boys you know that I compete with,
they know quite well. And we'd sort of talked about
the ins and outs of sharing golds and all the
rest of it. I the last few years, and he
run sort of I think it was all on the
same page, like we kind of knew that it was
cool thing to happened in Tokyo, but it probably would
need to happen again. And so yeah, for for me
and Shelby. Obviously I got off the mouth that that

(15:12):
last miss two thirty eight, which I think was actually
the one that got turned into a meme, the one
where I jumped under the bar.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
But yes, yes, obviously before you came on the.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Show this morning, we can circle back, we can circle
back to that circle back to.

Speaker 5 (15:28):
But yeah, so so I obviously wandered off over to
Shelby and he was already standing there with the officials,
and yeah, I just it was kind of one of
those moments you sort of look them in the eyes
and he sort of looks at you, and you're trying
to scope him out and try and work out what
his prices right, and it's yeah, I think I think
we both kind of knew that we wanted to keep jumping,
and so yeah, I was just like, come on, mate,
let's let's jump, and he just agreed, He's like, yeah,

(15:50):
let's do it, and then off we went.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Now that's awesome because I always thought that one in
Tokyo was a bit cowardly and to be honest, because
it was a bit like you could they both of
those guys could have chosen to jump off, but they
chose to share it instead, And so for you guys
to do that, I thought that was awesome. Was one
of the great Olympic moments for me, that that you
guys are just going to do it like naked as
naked as this blowing ass and you're like, nah, let's

(16:15):
keep going until someone actually takes it.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
Yeah, I mean, look, you want to find out right, yea,
And that's that's the plant of sport, is you know,
doing what's hard work, and then you get to those
those moments when everyone's actually watching, especially in athletics, I
mean we you know, we flog away in the background
a lot of the time, and then you kind of
get these big comps where people are watching and yeah,
you just want to send it.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
The full seagull at the end was great as well.
It was one of the great well.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
It was incredibly proud Hamish because the other thing, as
a New Zealander that we oftentimes do when golds and
sports sitting down going backwards.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
But it was so down and water and water.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
But the high jump and that that's an excell event.
That is a fall on event. Everybody's done high jump
at school. It's a proper athletic event. It's a big thing.
And so to watch you when that was a very
proud moment for me as a New Zealand. And the
other great part about it was the way that the

(17:16):
way that you decided not to share the gold medal
was quite on New Zealand if you know what I mean,
Like it's not a New Zealand is quite an egalitarian society.
We normally go okay, well, so for you to have
the confidence to say, you know what I'm gonna I'm
going to risk this gold medal, there was so much
to risk then, so then to gamble and win I

(17:37):
thought was a great thing.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
And also Haym was like, forgive me for saying this
if this is not the case. But you were probably
the better chance of making that high is that right?
Were you the favorite jumper when it got down to
you and the other bro?

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Do you think? You know?

Speaker 4 (17:53):
It came down to a confidence that you had within
yourself to be like extually you know, what I think
I probably do have this.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
I mean, look, firstly, I mean it's it's cool to
hear you guys obviously talking about it so positively. It's
it's something that I think, you know, I I do
spend a lot of time off shore nowadays, and so yeah,
that whole kind of keywism around, you know, sharing things
and really just it's kind of a funny concept, right
Like I feel like every key we expects all of

(18:21):
our athletes to do the best on the world stage,
you know, you know, nothing, nothing short of winning. But
then also like kind of being able to celebrate that
is also something we're not really the best at times,
I think. So, yeah, it was it was quite cool
to sort of have the feedback from a lot of
people at home and see how, you know, proud they were.
But also, you know, interestingly enough, some people sort of saying, oh,
you know, you should have shared it. I don't know,

(18:43):
and I think that, but at the end of the day,
you know, like everyone's going to have your opinion, right,
and I think that, yeah, I think that, you know,
as Kiwi's I think that it's it's cool that people
can really feel emotional about it and really get behind it,
because that's something that we're probably not the best at
in sport best of times, as you know, really getting
our emotions up and really getting behind someone. That's sort

(19:04):
of we're a little bit too cool sometimes I feel
so so that's been that's been cool. But no, I
think I think, yeah, I mean I did have the
better chance, like Shelby had done two personal bests to
even get into that jump off, whereas I had only well,
I'd equaled my personal best. But yeah, I'm gonna be honest,
like that didn't even really come into my mind.

Speaker 6 (19:25):
Like for me, it was more just just the feeling,
I suppose, the feeling of knowing that for the rest
of my life I'd be introduced as the Olympic gold medalist,
and the kind of the sort of in the back
of my mind I'd be sort of saying, well, I'm
actually the co Co Gold.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, I think it just didn't.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
It was kind of like I don't have I don't
I have half a middle right now, but I don't
want half a medal, like I'd rather have the whole
silver half gold, and so let's just go for it.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Good on you and then gambling. I mean, she's a
big gamble. But I I really think about track and
field this way. I think there's there's three things. For me,
the person who can jump the highest, the person who
can jump the furthest, and the person who can run.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
The furthest and the longest.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
And and that's and that's like, don't tell Tom that. Well,
he's a guy who can have a half a thing
for a rock, half a rock, Like that's halfing a rock.
It's like you've got to get the rock to helf.
Whereas the jumping, see, jumping the highest is really handy,
and any kind of situation, as we said, particularly if
you're trying to jump in someone's window or something like that,

(20:30):
that's a great skill to have. Jump in the furthest,
jump across the river. You know, you can jump in furthest.
That's a great thing. And running really really fast for
one hundred meters I mean turndred meters meters whatever, fifteen
hundred meters. You know, there's a lot of tactics involved.
I know, you know, five thousand meters, you know, all
that sort of stuff, but growing one hundred meters. So
for me, the big three are the one hundred meters,

(20:52):
the high jump, and the long jump in terms of
earth leks, and to have a guy and we have
one of them who can jump the highest in the world.
There's no one else who can jump ashid as you
in the world. There's no there's no one else on
the planet right at this moment who can jump higher
than you. There's not like some who's actually really really
good at high jump who hasn't been discovered.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yeah, well there's probably a few basketballers. But yeah, but
to get them.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
To line them up, you still beat them. If we
have them up right now without any training.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Too much meat on their bones, too much meat on
their bones, they won't be able to get that frame up.
I don't reckon those basketball players. We and Yama might
be to be to step over it at seven.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Four maybe to do this.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Hamers, you've got another another role coming up, so obviously,
you know, I don't know where you'd put this in
the list of achievements, whether it would eclipse the gold medal.
But you're the chief, You're the chief pooh bear or
poo bar of the Santa Parade. What's the official team, Jerry, that.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
I believe the official term that we use in the
situation as the Grand Marshal six notes, because that right,
the Grand Marshal.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
What does the Grand Marshal do? Do you do you
have to corral Santa and make sure he's not too
pasty or what.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
Yeah, I actually have to go and get him from
the North Pole. It's sort of my personal job to
go out there and wake him up and make sure
he's on time. Yeah, and yeah, it's it's obviously a
great one of for me to have this.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
I remember going to the going to the.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
Christmas Breade when I was young and sort of seeing
all the people going past and all the various floats,
some of them, you know, slightly questionable, some of them weren't.
It's difficult to just sort of be a part of this.
So yeah, I'm obviously stoked to come up on Sunday
and get amongst it.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
You're a temporary sense, it's the worst nightmare. Homus kirt
where about in the country are usually based?

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Bro? Are you? Are you well?

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Cross?

Speaker 1 (22:45):
His boy? Sorry?

Speaker 5 (22:46):
Yeah, yeah, so I grew up in Auckland. In twenty
eighteen moved down here. But yeah, just depending on who
asks me, where I feel like I'm from the sort
of probably fifty to fifty orcan crashitch, which is a
bit weird missed.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
That's the best of times.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
I think a good power move for you, Hamish would
to be just just throwing a Crusaders jersey at the
front of the parade and see how that goes up,
been Awkland, I think that'll go down quite well.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Well, that's probably one thing that ties me, Awland.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
I am still a Tragic Blues fans, so I don't
think I'll be putting on a Crusader's Judy good Man.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
How much jumping have you got left in your Homish.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
Currently? Not a lot. I haven't really done anything since
since the Games, which has been super nice, and I've
just been on holiday and just enjoying kind of the
feelings of, you know, a job well done this year.
But yeah, I mean I think that for me, jumping
two forty is the next real big goal and that's
sort of a hYP that is probably significant because it's

(23:46):
the height of most people's ceilings and so not only
can I jump in people's windows, but I jumping their.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Roots, so clear that'd be pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Clear clear the gutters forgive my naivity?

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, mate, but can you just take a couple of
months off and high jump and then come back and
then I suppose when you're as good as you are,
then maybe you can. But is that how it works?

Speaker 4 (24:04):
You can just take months off and then come back
and then you know a personal record.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
You can and you can't.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
I think I think obviously I'm going to be paying
for it probably the next few months just trying to
get back into training. I think that, yeah, it's not
it's not a case of obviously having an amazing year
this year and then having three months off and then
two months later being able to jump to forty.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
I think it's it's.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
Definitely more of a probably two or three year goal
trying to get that one out of the way. But yeah,
I think I think for me, yeah, it is tough
because you know, when you do stock, your body starts degrading,
and you know, your tendons and ligaments and all the
sort of connective bits start sort of degrading a week bit,
so you do have to be mindful come back.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
And yeah, I know it's getting old. It's tough asn't it.
Boys sucks.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
I'm playing a game of cricket tonight and you're gonna
be able to see the po we're not paying much
for me to rip both groins tonight.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Do you ever fantasize or dream hamish about high jumping
on them.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
All the time?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
What would you love to high jump on the moon?

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Like?

Speaker 1 (25:07):
How and zero gravity? How good would that be? That
would be sick just going up with the arm and
then you just keep on.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
Going, just jumped back to.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Go up.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
That's if we've even been to the moon though, some.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Research on what do you reckon? We have drinking? We've
been to the moon. Good, this is good.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Actually we should get you on every week for a
bit of conspiracy theory.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
Yeah, yeah, no, no, I believe in science. I think
I think we have been Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Interesting, yeah, unpopular opinion.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Mister Alaska, wasn't your science teacher? Was it grammar?

Speaker 3 (25:46):
He was? Was he saying taken me back?

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Was he a conspiracy theorist? He was all about the science.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Miss Alaska was all about all about the science. Good
good teaching with.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
The Alaska thank you.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
Yeah, yeah, one of the better ones there was. There
was a couple there that. Yeah, it's an interesting, interesting past.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, Big Big still in jail now, probably with some allegation.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Both of you boys love to be kind of you know,
scooting around the outside of this conversation.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
It's a little bit dilworthy.

Speaker 7 (26:17):
Again, no one knows we were in still we find
out pretty easily. But allegation swirling around. Jerry went to
about sex that few.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
I reckon it's one of those ones if you if
you brought any allegations, they'd probably just pick up your
file probably a probably half a kgs just think they
could bring up heys.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Thank you so much for joining us on the Unnamed
podcast today, Best of luck. What the Santa Parade on Sunday,
Farmers Santa Parade the ninety first Farmers sand first come.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Along, watch me get a get a photo with the medal. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
I think it's about two hundred other other floats that
are sort of cruising parts, so should be awesome.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Kids like it. There's going to be good pre parade
entertainment from twelve to one, parades from one to two thirty,
and Sander's Party from two thirty till five. It's a
good time. Thanks so much, Hamus, it's been lovely to
chat to you, and again, congratulations on this year. What
an amazing achievement and we're all very proud of you.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Awesome Hey, thanks for having me on Guys's. It's a
real pleasure.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Sure, I appreciate it for yourself. Yeah, great, guys.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
I'm speaking of Sanda parades. I was thinking about when
I went to Sanda Prade when I was at all
in the tron. We didn't really have a Sander Prade.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
We had a Sander Parade on him.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
No, they didn't, but each school had one. You know,
they'd have a Christmas Day.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Or whatever, and I normally had cow that sort of
pulled some cows through the main street or something Christmas
and the cowing ended.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
They now they had the magic carpet where you know,
someone would drive a car around the field with a
Persian rug on the back and said on there.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
I remember that fun, fucking awesome. It was fun.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
You hit something that like a rock that was underneath.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
The usual mister Wolf was driving the principal, who's dangerously dangerous.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Alcoholic anyways, a dangerous alcoholic, and.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Santra arrived and obviously isn't it a bung hole Santa?
When Santa arrived, because he had then the big big
second Macintosh toffees or whatever to berth out and visiting
at the bunghole went up, and I just was curious
to see who was behind the beard, and I pulled
it down and it was doctor Lane, my dad. Oh,
never have I been more disappointed to see Santa. I
lost the plot mainly because you don't.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Firstly, don't target Center's beard, you little preck, you little
I know what, I know what you were like.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Broke my little heart.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Yeah, well you deserve to have your heart broken, you
little preck. You pull at Santa's beard.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
How did Yeah, he wasn't happy about it.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
How did he should he be? How did you find
to get the job?

Speaker 2 (29:08):
He was pretty passed off.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
He was.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
He had a board of trustees whatever they had back then.
He was on the board and he got forced into it.
I mean he was. He didn't really like small children,
still doesn't.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Who's got the biggest gut?

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, he wasn't operating a big motor. So that's that's
where suspicions kind of got to rouse. He isn't jolly enough,
and he's behind this mask and it was the most
unjoyous man of war.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
That's my father. You've never come back from that.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, that's actually that's the first time I've talked about
it actually, so, I mean it's almost therapy for me.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
So John would make a good center. He's never never
played center. He played good center. It's too it's too
much acting involved. It gets shielders on his knee. He
doesn't take much acting. That's also never happened.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
I think he's cut from the same class. There's my
like kind of a little bit of disdain for anyone
under the age of eighteen.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Oh, absolutely, yeah, yeah, as soon as you as soon
as you're turn eighteen, you know, it's it's all on
for young and old with him, you know, conversation with you,
treat you like an equal. But as soon as you're
under the age of eighteen, it won't even won't even
talk to you'd not interested. Well, it's fair enough. I
respect that for anything. Oh totally. It means you just

(30:26):
got it. You're going to grow up, you know quickly, yep, overnight. Yeah.
She didn't talk to me until I was eighteen. So
has he never dressed up as a He's never dressed
up as a Santa Claus and then got shelder. You know,
absolutely not come and sit on my knee when you
want to Christmas, come on, missus. Clause no way.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
I tell you, the most disturbing Santa ro I've ever
come across is a few years ago. You remember this,
Mikey heavoc at the Christmas party got dressed up in
a Santa costume at the basement of the New Zealand
Herald on Albert Street. And it was in the basement
and in the bowels of the old New Zealand Herald,

(31:04):
the Royal New Zealand Herald, you remember that area, and
had the Christmas party down at and it was so
fucking hot.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
It was muggy that that day, and.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Poor Mikey Havak was sat on this throne in a
full Santa suit, soweating absolutely sweating buckets so much so
I've never seen sweat comes through a Santa costume. So
it went from the kind of red to a dark marooner.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
He was an all sort. Oh he can sweat, Oh yeah,
he can sweat. He's the only man I've ever been
at who I've ever seen that can put a can
stick a cell phone to his forehead so he can
just it's not even sweating. He just gets a cell phone.
It's one of his party trucks, and he just goes
stomp and he stomps it and it just sticks straight
to his forehead. At all times. His paws just go

(31:54):
and just suck into it. He's like an puss. Yeah,
his paws are like him. Put three. He used to
be able to put three Nokia thirty one tens. If you
throw them, you havevoc at the wallhill start.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Yeah, it's like those little mean you can throw down.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
That's a great guy. Yeah, your homous. What a great guy.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
I feel better about being a new Leander after talking
to him, saying the fact that you know, fuck it,
I'm going to be a gold medalist.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
Love it.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Thank god you guys said me there, because those questions
were awful, especially from you. Wells.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
I thought you actually railroaded that interview together. We were
going down some good lines there and he was ready
to he was ready to open up. I mean that
that could have gone that could have gone viral, and
you came in with a serious question.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
So shall we tracking him back?

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (32:41):
And then yeah, that's that's you. Step to the side.
I'll be here, but I'll leave it to the serious Yeah,
sports journalists to us the proper questions like have you
ever high jumped? Dude?

Speaker 4 (32:53):
Yeah, do you know there was a chancing that we
talked him for twenty minutes and we didn't even talk
to him about the gold medal.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
That would have happened, you know, do you know what
he would have found that quite refreshing. He's made out
being loved a lot of interviews where he had to
talk through that fucking eye jump and you went straight there.
So maybe we sports journalist you are.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
We get him back and we'll see how you boys
doing your own totally pro'll be quite well.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Have a great week in MESHI love you.
