17
00:01:01,693 --> 00:01:02,373
Speaker 4: are you guys? Going?

18
00:01:02,773 --> 00:01:06,213
Speaker 2: Very good? Thanks and thank you for talking to us. Now, Hamosh,

19
00:01:06,253 --> 00:01:10,253
Speaker 2: whenever I watch you jump, I have the same thought

20
00:01:10,493 --> 00:01:13,973
Speaker 2: and look, you're the best in the world at something

21
00:01:14,053 --> 00:01:17,652
Speaker 2: that every single person attempts at some point, does that

22
00:01:17,693 --> 00:01:18,613
Speaker 2: ever cross your mind?

23
00:01:19,253 --> 00:01:22,653
Speaker 4: Well, it's funny you say that. I consider it probably

24
00:01:22,813 --> 00:01:26,133
Speaker 4: slightly more on the niche side of sport. But you

25
00:01:26,212 --> 00:01:29,373
Speaker 4: definitely do have a point. I mean I do remember

26
00:01:29,572 --> 00:01:33,333
Speaker 4: very vividly at primary school everyone having a go yeah,

27
00:01:33,413 --> 00:01:35,613
Speaker 4: and everyone kind of wanting to try the high jump

28
00:01:35,613 --> 00:01:38,133
Speaker 4: but at least one time in their life. Yeah, So

29
00:01:38,173 --> 00:01:41,012
Speaker 4: I suppose I'm just kind of the primary school kid

30
00:01:41,333 --> 00:01:44,013
Speaker 4: who just kept on going and never really stopped. Right.

31
00:01:44,373 --> 00:01:47,012
Speaker 2: Well, it's only niche because only some people are good

32
00:01:47,013 --> 00:01:48,413
Speaker 2: at it. If you are good at it, then you

33
00:01:48,533 --> 00:01:52,293
Speaker 2: keep going. And you look, you were very good at it,

34
00:01:52,373 --> 00:01:55,613
Speaker 2: so you kept going. But it's not a sport. It's

35
00:01:55,693 --> 00:01:57,693
Speaker 2: not a sport that you know, someone had to have

36
00:01:57,733 --> 00:02:00,053
Speaker 2: a lot of gear to get into, someone had to

37
00:02:00,093 --> 00:02:02,053
Speaker 2: have a lot of money behind them. Everyone tried it,

38
00:02:02,093 --> 00:02:04,133
Speaker 2: and you're the best and you're a ki with so.

39
00:02:04,173 --> 00:02:07,333
Speaker 4: That is quite something here you go. Yeah, that's the

40
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:09,813
Speaker 4: great equalizer out there exactly.

41
00:02:09,853 --> 00:02:12,573
Speaker 3: Mate. Hey, So looking back at this year, if you

42
00:02:12,613 --> 00:02:14,933
Speaker 3: had to pick one moment that stood out for you

43
00:02:15,013 --> 00:02:15,893
Speaker 3: the most, what would it be?

44
00:02:16,173 --> 00:02:19,013
Speaker 4: Oh? I mean, look, world chance is a hard one

45
00:02:19,013 --> 00:02:23,453
Speaker 4: to go past. I think, you know, probably probably saying

46
00:02:23,493 --> 00:02:25,933
Speaker 4: that I am most proud of and and kind of

47
00:02:26,053 --> 00:02:29,333
Speaker 4: most sort of happy and satisfied with so to speakers,

48
00:02:29,373 --> 00:02:32,453
Speaker 4: the fact that last year was just so much energy

49
00:02:32,493 --> 00:02:36,173
Speaker 4: and coming back from the Olympics and just kind of

50
00:02:36,173 --> 00:02:38,613
Speaker 4: giving myself the time to celebrate and and just sit

51
00:02:38,653 --> 00:02:40,893
Speaker 4: with it and enjoy it and and really kind of

52
00:02:40,933 --> 00:02:44,093
Speaker 4: spend the time sitting in that in that space, and

53
00:02:44,133 --> 00:02:46,452
Speaker 4: then having to get down on the horse the next year,

54
00:02:46,532 --> 00:02:49,493
Speaker 4: and you know, it wasn't easy. There was There was

55
00:02:49,493 --> 00:02:51,453
Speaker 4: definitely times where I was sort of questioning whether I

56
00:02:51,453 --> 00:02:53,933
Speaker 4: wanted to go again, and and it was quite challenging.

57
00:02:54,013 --> 00:02:55,613
Speaker 4: But to kind of get to the end of the

58
00:02:55,653 --> 00:02:59,933
Speaker 4: season and make a real kind of you know, considered

59
00:02:59,972 --> 00:03:02,213
Speaker 4: effort to to try and and and really feel like

60
00:03:02,252 --> 00:03:04,173
Speaker 4: I wanted to commit, and then to be able to

61
00:03:04,213 --> 00:03:06,732
Speaker 4: get the result that I did at World Champs was

62
00:03:06,733 --> 00:03:08,253
Speaker 4: was very very satisfying, what I mean.

63
00:03:08,413 --> 00:03:11,132
Speaker 2: And then the training is intense. So how does that look?

64
00:03:11,173 --> 00:03:13,453
Speaker 2: How much of is gym work and how much of

65
00:03:13,453 --> 00:03:16,973
Speaker 2: its fitness and how much is it just repeatedly jumping.

66
00:03:18,373 --> 00:03:20,213
Speaker 4: Uh, well, not a lot of fitness, which is which

67
00:03:20,252 --> 00:03:24,733
Speaker 4: is good. A lot more gym works. So, I mean

68
00:03:24,773 --> 00:03:26,773
Speaker 4: we we do We're in the gym about three times

69
00:03:26,813 --> 00:03:29,253
Speaker 4: a week, and then I jump twice a week, and

70
00:03:29,293 --> 00:03:31,093
Speaker 4: then I do like a couple of running sessions on

71
00:03:31,093 --> 00:03:32,893
Speaker 4: top of that as well, So we do we do

72
00:03:32,933 --> 00:03:35,493
Speaker 4: about six days a week of training. There's probably about

73
00:03:35,493 --> 00:03:37,413
Speaker 4: eight sessions and that's so a couple of double days.

74
00:03:37,413 --> 00:03:40,333
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's it's it's pretty varied. You know, there's

75
00:03:40,333 --> 00:03:41,813
Speaker 4: a lot of kind of technical stuff that we need

76
00:03:41,813 --> 00:03:43,373
Speaker 4: to we need to cover off, but then also a

77
00:03:43,373 --> 00:03:45,293
Speaker 4: lot of just trying to get as strong and as

78
00:03:45,293 --> 00:03:48,133
Speaker 4: powerful as possible. So every day is slight difference and

79
00:03:48,133 --> 00:03:50,613
Speaker 4: and yeah, it's it's it's it's sort of requires a

80
00:03:50,613 --> 00:03:53,253
Speaker 4: lot of thinking, mainly from my team, not so much

81
00:03:53,253 --> 00:03:55,973
Speaker 4: from me, but but you know, at times times there

82
00:03:55,973 --> 00:03:58,693
Speaker 4: are a lot of a lot of sort of technical

83
00:03:58,733 --> 00:04:00,733
Speaker 4: things that we're trying to achieve. So yeah, it's it's

84
00:04:00,773 --> 00:04:03,373
Speaker 4: it's always always interesting at the track, that's for sure.

85
00:04:03,453 --> 00:04:05,213
Speaker 2: A lot of squats. Squat's a big.

86
00:04:05,093 --> 00:04:08,053
Speaker 4: Part of it. Yeah, big part squats. Actually, I actually

87
00:04:08,093 --> 00:04:10,373
Speaker 4: did it a little little squat PB this morning in

88
00:04:10,413 --> 00:04:13,733
Speaker 4: the gym, which I was pretty heavy. Yeah, squatting constantly.

89
00:04:14,013 --> 00:04:16,532
Speaker 4: What was your peb Well, I did a quarter squad.

90
00:04:16,893 --> 00:04:18,773
Speaker 4: I did three reps, so three hundred.

91
00:04:18,573 --> 00:04:22,373
Speaker 3: Kgsly it's a big it's a big league day.

92
00:04:23,093 --> 00:04:25,253
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a yeah. The leagus the leagues were struggling.

93
00:04:25,293 --> 00:04:27,053
Speaker 4: The back was probably struggling a wee bit more, to

94
00:04:27,093 --> 00:04:29,253
Speaker 4: be honest, kind of felt like I was compacted a

95
00:04:29,253 --> 00:04:32,133
Speaker 4: wee But but that's that's just what we do, right.

96
00:04:32,373 --> 00:04:34,573
Speaker 2: What about the mental side of it, because you know,

97
00:04:34,693 --> 00:04:38,893
Speaker 2: high jump is a you know, it's a very Yeah,

98
00:04:38,893 --> 00:04:40,813
Speaker 2: the mental game is obviously clear, and you've got quite

99
00:04:40,813 --> 00:04:44,093
Speaker 2: a famous routine before you do your jump. You know,

100
00:04:44,093 --> 00:04:45,613
Speaker 2: how much is how much of that is it in

101
00:04:45,613 --> 00:04:46,053
Speaker 2: your prep?

102
00:04:47,293 --> 00:04:49,493
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean it's you know, you go back to,

103
00:04:49,853 --> 00:04:52,173
Speaker 4: you know, trying high jump to primary school and everyone

104
00:04:52,173 --> 00:04:53,413
Speaker 4: sort of had to go. And I think a lot

105
00:04:53,413 --> 00:04:55,773
Speaker 4: of people echo the fact that it is a pretty

106
00:04:55,853 --> 00:04:59,173
Speaker 4: intimidating thing, having that bar, kind of knowing you have

107
00:04:59,213 --> 00:05:03,093
Speaker 4: to get over it, right, It's a pretty common feeling

108
00:05:03,093 --> 00:05:03,733
Speaker 4: a lot of people have.

109
00:05:04,013 --> 00:05:06,853
Speaker 2: It's metaphorical and physical bar. You have to get over.

110
00:05:06,733 --> 00:05:09,693
Speaker 4: It, oh exactly. And and it's also it's tough because

111
00:05:09,813 --> 00:05:11,733
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter how high you clear it. It only

112
00:05:11,773 --> 00:05:13,733
Speaker 4: counts for the clearance that the bar is set at.

113
00:05:13,853 --> 00:05:16,653
Speaker 4: So you know, it is a massive mind game, but

114
00:05:16,773 --> 00:05:19,253
Speaker 4: I think I love that, Like it kind of feels

115
00:05:19,293 --> 00:05:23,333
Speaker 4: like chess at times, because you know, when you're out

116
00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:26,573
Speaker 4: there and you're feeling good and you're sort of trying

117
00:05:26,573 --> 00:05:28,773
Speaker 4: to trying to obviously compete with all these other guys,

118
00:05:29,133 --> 00:05:32,573
Speaker 4: it can become very technical around who is jumping well

119
00:05:32,933 --> 00:05:34,893
Speaker 4: early in the competition, but then who actually kind of

120
00:05:34,893 --> 00:05:36,933
Speaker 4: has the leads to continue on and sort of how

121
00:05:37,013 --> 00:05:39,533
Speaker 4: much me doing you do you use to get through

122
00:05:39,573 --> 00:05:41,293
Speaker 4: the competition, but then also to kind of save up

123
00:05:41,333 --> 00:05:43,773
Speaker 4: for the end. So I love it, but but you

124
00:05:43,893 --> 00:05:46,373
Speaker 4: had times it can be pretty draining, and I definitely

125
00:05:46,373 --> 00:05:48,733
Speaker 4: feel like I come home after quite a big season

126
00:05:48,773 --> 00:05:50,973
Speaker 4: and I'm quite thankful for the fact that I don't

127
00:05:50,973 --> 00:05:52,853
Speaker 4: have to think about trying to get over the next

128
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:54,733
Speaker 4: bar for at least a couple of months.

129
00:05:54,773 --> 00:05:57,733
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, during that off season. Genuine question, do you

130
00:05:57,733 --> 00:06:00,053
Speaker 3: get any pre sure you're at a party around mate's

131
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:04,293
Speaker 3: family and party tricks the wrong word, but any preciative, say, heymus,

132
00:06:04,413 --> 00:06:05,773
Speaker 3: you know we've seen it on the tally, but we're

133
00:06:05,813 --> 00:06:07,733
Speaker 3: going to set up a wee bar here and we

134
00:06:07,773 --> 00:06:09,333
Speaker 3: want to see you jump over it. Do you get

135
00:06:09,333 --> 00:06:10,293
Speaker 3: any of that sort of precire.

136
00:06:11,173 --> 00:06:14,093
Speaker 4: Oh, look, it's the worst party truck because you can't.

137
00:06:14,533 --> 00:06:17,973
Speaker 4: Like I have been asked in the past and people go,

138
00:06:18,093 --> 00:06:19,973
Speaker 4: I surely can jump over me, and it's like, yeah,

139
00:06:20,053 --> 00:06:22,253
Speaker 4: give me, give me forty five minutes to warm up.

140
00:06:22,533 --> 00:06:24,733
Speaker 4: I'll go grab my shoes. We'll try and find a

141
00:06:24,773 --> 00:06:30,693
Speaker 4: level surface. Let me soaber up a burton. Yeah, it's

142
00:06:30,733 --> 00:06:33,333
Speaker 4: not the greatest thing in the world. It's not super transferable,

143
00:06:33,373 --> 00:06:35,773
Speaker 4: but I have jumped over a couple of people in

144
00:06:35,813 --> 00:06:39,893
Speaker 4: the past down at the crack and I, yeah, can

145
00:06:40,013 --> 00:06:42,533
Speaker 4: confirm as possible.

146
00:06:42,853 --> 00:06:45,533
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of party trucks, I guess you would be

147
00:06:45,813 --> 00:06:47,613
Speaker 2: not that great at limbo. You know you're more of

148
00:06:47,613 --> 00:06:49,333
Speaker 2: an over a bar rather than an under a bar

149
00:06:49,453 --> 00:06:49,893
Speaker 2: kind of guy.

150
00:06:50,093 --> 00:06:52,573
Speaker 4: Yes. Yeah, I have tried limbo a couple of times.

151
00:06:53,093 --> 00:06:54,373
Speaker 4: I will spitch to going over the bar.

152
00:06:55,173 --> 00:06:57,533
Speaker 3: Ow good. So, looking back on on this year and

153
00:06:57,573 --> 00:06:59,173
Speaker 3: it's been a huge year for your haymish, where do

154
00:06:59,253 --> 00:07:02,053
Speaker 3: you think you made the biggest improvements in your jumps.

155
00:07:02,653 --> 00:07:05,093
Speaker 3: Obviously height's a big thing because that's key there, but

156
00:07:05,253 --> 00:07:07,893
Speaker 3: just in the general technique, I.

157
00:07:07,813 --> 00:07:14,733
Speaker 4: Think I think probably it's probably not like a technical change,

158
00:07:14,773 --> 00:07:16,653
Speaker 4: but I think it's just the belief I've gotten in

159
00:07:16,693 --> 00:07:21,213
Speaker 4: the program that we've built. So this year, I was

160
00:07:21,293 --> 00:07:24,293
Speaker 4: jumping kind of low two twenties about four months out

161
00:07:24,333 --> 00:07:28,333
Speaker 4: from World Champs, and in the past, you know, to

162
00:07:28,333 --> 00:07:30,013
Speaker 4: be jumping that sort of height and then kind of

163
00:07:30,373 --> 00:07:32,133
Speaker 4: been able to turn it around to getting into the

164
00:07:32,173 --> 00:07:34,773
Speaker 4: two meters thirties and then up to two thirty six,

165
00:07:34,773 --> 00:07:37,693
Speaker 4: which is my personal best. It has taken a long time,

166
00:07:38,053 --> 00:07:40,653
Speaker 4: but this year, given the knowledge that we've got of

167
00:07:40,973 --> 00:07:43,133
Speaker 4: how I operate and what I need to actually achieve

168
00:07:43,173 --> 00:07:44,773
Speaker 4: in my training before being able to do that in competition,

169
00:07:44,813 --> 00:07:47,253
Speaker 4: we were able to turn it around really quickly. And

170
00:07:47,293 --> 00:07:50,333
Speaker 4: so I think I think for me that that ability

171
00:07:50,373 --> 00:07:52,533
Speaker 4: to know that at any given moment, even if I'm

172
00:07:52,533 --> 00:07:55,613
Speaker 4: not jumping those heights in training and feeling like I'm

173
00:07:56,093 --> 00:08:01,053
Speaker 4: completely sending it at training. I suppose it's the clues

174
00:08:01,133 --> 00:08:04,613
Speaker 4: and the hunts within the training, which we're starting to

175
00:08:04,653 --> 00:08:07,613
Speaker 4: really understand really well as to what kind of shape

176
00:08:07,613 --> 00:08:10,373
Speaker 4: I'm in, is something that actually just makes me sleep

177
00:08:10,413 --> 00:08:13,053
Speaker 4: way better at night. You know, in the past, it's

178
00:08:13,253 --> 00:08:16,133
Speaker 4: it's always that constant stress of you know, have I

179
00:08:16,173 --> 00:08:17,853
Speaker 4: have I been jumping well enough in training to the

180
00:08:17,853 --> 00:08:20,413
Speaker 4: intern around in a competition and do really well. And

181
00:08:20,453 --> 00:08:22,413
Speaker 4: I think that, you know, as we go through this process,

182
00:08:22,413 --> 00:08:25,293
Speaker 4: more and more I do know that, you know, there

183
00:08:25,333 --> 00:08:27,373
Speaker 4: are things in training I can do that really make

184
00:08:27,453 --> 00:08:30,053
Speaker 4: me jump well in competition. And I suppose I'm talking

185
00:08:30,053 --> 00:08:32,413
Speaker 4: about that from a from a perspective of in training,

186
00:08:32,453 --> 00:08:35,533
Speaker 4: we don't actually jump that high often, and so I

187
00:08:35,612 --> 00:08:38,012
Speaker 4: suppose it's just me contending with the fact that that's

188
00:08:38,013 --> 00:08:39,533
Speaker 4: actually just normal and that's okay.

189
00:08:40,413 --> 00:08:43,693
Speaker 2: So you were well known before Tokyo. Then in New

190
00:08:43,732 --> 00:08:47,132
Speaker 2: Zealand after Tokyo you jumped up to every man, woman

191
00:08:47,213 --> 00:08:49,653
Speaker 2: and child knowing who Hamish Kurr was and what you

192
00:08:49,693 --> 00:08:51,813
Speaker 2: look like. How have you how have you dealt with that,

193
00:08:52,093 --> 00:08:54,372
Speaker 2: particularly when you come back into New Zealand.

194
00:08:55,813 --> 00:08:59,253
Speaker 4: It's yeah, I mean, I think for me, I am

195
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:04,453
Speaker 4: very grateful for that. Like I remember idolizing a lot

196
00:09:04,453 --> 00:09:06,973
Speaker 4: of sporting heroes when I was growing up in Nogable

197
00:09:06,973 --> 00:09:09,292
Speaker 4: News Yonders, and I think, you know, for me, I

198
00:09:09,333 --> 00:09:12,132
Speaker 4: was just so motivated and so inspired by by what

199
00:09:12,492 --> 00:09:14,573
Speaker 4: we can't achieve, you know, this little country can achieve,

200
00:09:14,612 --> 00:09:17,052
Speaker 4: and what things we put put our country on the

201
00:09:17,093 --> 00:09:19,493
Speaker 4: map force, so I think, yeah, to kind of add

202
00:09:19,533 --> 00:09:21,693
Speaker 4: high jump to that, it's it's not something I ever

203
00:09:21,732 --> 00:09:24,293
Speaker 4: thought i'd be able to do, but but yeah, I'm

204
00:09:24,293 --> 00:09:26,333
Speaker 4: just super grateful for that. So yeah, I love it

205
00:09:26,372 --> 00:09:28,693
Speaker 4: when when kids come up to me and, you know,

206
00:09:28,773 --> 00:09:32,892
Speaker 4: ask me for some high jump tips, I usually tell

207
00:09:32,933 --> 00:09:35,612
Speaker 4: them that there's my coach's job, not mine. But yeah,

208
00:09:35,612 --> 00:09:39,173
Speaker 4: it's it's it's very it's very very cool. I love it.

209
00:09:39,213 --> 00:09:41,213
Speaker 4: But yeah, it can be funny as well, Like I

210
00:09:41,492 --> 00:09:44,053
Speaker 4: am suck what sucks, So it's sort of not easy

211
00:09:44,093 --> 00:09:46,453
Speaker 4: to hide at the best of times. If I'm feeling

212
00:09:46,492 --> 00:09:48,213
Speaker 4: like I'm not quite up for Yeah, you always got

213
00:09:48,252 --> 00:09:49,973
Speaker 4: to shot up with a with a good face on, right.

214
00:09:50,533 --> 00:09:53,012
Speaker 2: Speaking of fame, you are of course aware that you

215
00:09:53,293 --> 00:09:55,773
Speaker 2: are one of the biggest memes in the entire world.

216
00:09:56,852 --> 00:10:00,173
Speaker 2: With the Tokyo poll out, there's always sort of they're

217
00:10:00,213 --> 00:10:03,012
Speaker 2: not mentioning that you know you've put willfully pulled out

218
00:10:03,012 --> 00:10:05,053
Speaker 2: if people haven't seen it. You're running in and then you go, well,

219
00:10:05,053 --> 00:10:06,453
Speaker 2: I'm not going to make it, so you jump under

220
00:10:06,492 --> 00:10:10,453
Speaker 2: the bar. And it's used a lot for references to

221
00:10:10,612 --> 00:10:14,012
Speaker 2: people doing certain things so that that's huge. I mean

222
00:10:14,012 --> 00:10:17,053
Speaker 2: that's billions and billions of views on that that particular meme.

223
00:10:18,213 --> 00:10:20,773
Speaker 4: I love it. It's so funny like seeing those pop up,

224
00:10:20,813 --> 00:10:23,172
Speaker 4: especially when like when I'll just be at home kind

225
00:10:23,173 --> 00:10:29,173
Speaker 4: of like scrolling Instagram whatever and I pop up. Never

226
00:10:29,293 --> 00:10:31,333
Speaker 4: quite used to it. It's funny these days, like people

227
00:10:31,372 --> 00:10:33,773
Speaker 4: will still seeing it to me, like, oh, look, you're

228
00:10:33,773 --> 00:10:36,373
Speaker 4: a meme. It's like, yeah, yeah.

229
00:10:36,372 --> 00:10:36,893
Speaker 3: Sure I am.

230
00:10:36,973 --> 00:10:42,252
Speaker 4: I made it. It's almost like how good people's current

231
00:10:42,333 --> 00:10:44,533
Speaker 4: meme status is, whether they actually know what's going on

232
00:10:44,612 --> 00:10:44,813
Speaker 4: or not.

233
00:10:45,053 --> 00:10:45,773
Speaker 3: Yeah, so true.

234
00:10:45,813 --> 00:10:48,893
Speaker 2: I think the reason it's such a successful meme is

235
00:10:48,933 --> 00:10:51,533
Speaker 2: because you look so confident as you're coming in and

236
00:10:51,533 --> 00:10:55,173
Speaker 2: you've got this great stride and you're you're looking so strong,

237
00:10:55,293 --> 00:10:57,773
Speaker 2: and then obviously you know you're pulling out because you're like,

238
00:10:57,773 --> 00:10:58,933
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do this jump. I'm not going

239
00:10:58,973 --> 00:11:00,213
Speaker 2: to make it, and then you just the way you

240
00:11:00,252 --> 00:11:01,132
Speaker 2: flop under it.

241
00:11:01,093 --> 00:11:01,893
Speaker 3: The sweet dive.

242
00:11:02,653 --> 00:11:04,652
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful to make it or not?

243
00:11:05,053 --> 00:11:08,372

268
00:12:14,093 --> 00:12:14,573
Speaker 4: better off.

269
00:12:15,453 --> 00:12:19,653
Speaker 2: We're talking to Olympic high jump champion Hamish cur real

270
00:12:19,732 --> 00:12:23,093
Speaker 2: tree or fake tree in the Kerr family.

271
00:12:24,533 --> 00:12:28,533
Speaker 4: Real tree at home, but these days I would be

272
00:12:28,533 --> 00:12:31,252
Speaker 4: going fake tree. Unfortunately I don't. I don't support the

273
00:12:31,773 --> 00:12:35,333
Speaker 4: baby baby pine tree industry too much, so yeah, fake.

274
00:12:35,132 --> 00:12:39,412
Speaker 3: Tree, that's great. What is the best present you've ever received?

275
00:12:40,453 --> 00:12:45,173
Speaker 4: Best present? I think probably on brand with with what

276
00:12:45,252 --> 00:12:49,093
Speaker 4: I do day to day. In year six, I actually

277
00:12:49,093 --> 00:12:51,053
Speaker 4: got given my first of a peer of highjumps spies

278
00:12:52,053 --> 00:12:54,492
Speaker 4: from Mum and Dare. They went down to Dressmart and

279
00:12:54,813 --> 00:12:57,053
Speaker 4: I remember packing them out. I can't imagine why they

280
00:12:57,053 --> 00:13:00,253
Speaker 4: are at an outlet shop, you know, being such a

281
00:13:00,293 --> 00:13:02,933
Speaker 4: mainstream sport, but yeah, they were down there and so

282
00:13:02,973 --> 00:13:05,053
Speaker 4: I picked them up and yeah, I just love them.

283
00:13:05,053 --> 00:13:07,652
Speaker 4: And obviously it's kind of set up my career.

284
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:11,172
Speaker 2: Really pushing the gratitude thing on our show this year,

285
00:13:11,213 --> 00:13:13,973
Speaker 2: it's been a real theme. So we'll push that barrow

286
00:13:14,012 --> 00:13:16,533
Speaker 2: with you. What are you grateful for this year? Hamoush?

287
00:13:17,093 --> 00:13:19,693
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, good question. I mean I feel like I'm

288
00:13:19,693 --> 00:13:22,533
Speaker 4: grateful for so many things, but probably the big one

289
00:13:22,573 --> 00:13:24,932
Speaker 4: for me is I'm grateful for the people around me

290
00:13:24,973 --> 00:13:27,213
Speaker 4: who I can pick up the phone and have a

291
00:13:27,252 --> 00:13:30,132
Speaker 4: really good, kind of deep and meaningful chat with I

292
00:13:30,492 --> 00:13:34,773
Speaker 4: wouldn't say that my job is easy all the time,

293
00:13:34,813 --> 00:13:37,412
Speaker 4: and there are a lot of stressful times and pretty

294
00:13:37,413 --> 00:13:39,293
Speaker 4: scary moments have to go through. So to know that

295
00:13:39,333 --> 00:13:42,132
Speaker 4: I can I can do those things and still front up,

296
00:13:42,173 --> 00:13:43,492
Speaker 4: but then also be able to pick up the phone

297
00:13:43,492 --> 00:13:46,333
Speaker 4: and feel like I'm not alone in those moments, especially

298
00:13:46,333 --> 00:13:49,933
Speaker 4: with my girlfriend and you know, my friends and my family. Yeah,

299
00:13:50,012 --> 00:13:51,893
Speaker 4: the other people I'm feeling really grateful for.

300
00:13:52,173 --> 00:13:55,412
Speaker 3: That is beautiful. And finally, Hamish, what is your favorite

301
00:13:55,533 --> 00:13:56,173
Speaker 3: Christmas song?

302
00:13:56,892 --> 00:14:00,453
Speaker 4: I would have to say that my guilty pleasure would

303
00:14:00,492 --> 00:14:02,293
Speaker 4: be Mistletoe by Justin Bieber.

304
00:14:03,053 --> 00:14:06,053
Speaker 3: Ah. Yes, I'm just trying to think how that goes,

305
00:14:06,053 --> 00:14:07,173
Speaker 3: but that is a guilty pleasure.

306
00:14:07,213 --> 00:14:08,012
Speaker 2: Look, we'll have a listen.

307
00:14:08,333 --> 00:14:10,413
Speaker 4: I'm gonna think, but it is a modern classic.

308
00:14:10,933 --> 00:14:12,453
Speaker 3: Well there's good. We won't make you do that. We're

309
00:14:12,453 --> 00:14:14,053
Speaker 3: going to play it right now for your Hamish. But

310
00:14:14,093 --> 00:14:18,013
