All right.

All right. He's ringing in right now, I think.

Good morning. Hey. How's it called? This guy. he's ringing in right now i think good morning hey

how's it's the other one this guy go on

geora maura

it's about 7 o'clock in the morning down there isn't it

yeah right 7 in the morning oh man thank you thank you so much for coming all

really appreciate you getting up early to do this stuff i know you're on the other side of the world you're already on Friday he's already he's already a day ahead of us he's already accomplished one we have time in the morning

drug on my dad for this one now I've got two young boys up and around 5 30 so oh yeah for you at this point. Yeah, I've already had a couple coffee.

I got, I got four little ones myself, man. You never sleep with a little kid. It's good stuff. Hey, I've got, you know, and I just got some, you know, first I'm just going to introduce a little bit because a lot of folks listen to this are Americans. they don't know what the hell rugby is, which is a shame.

I'm going to talk a little bit about that stuff and just kind of, you know, kind of give us a background on that stuff and then we'll get into whatever you want to talk about. I've got a couple kind of pre-planed questions. I'm going to be a little bit selfish, you know, because I used to do that stuff and live in your part of the world for a while. I got to run around a little bit with some of these rugby guys down in New Zealand.

So it's kind of a neat experience. I used to do that stuff and live in your part of the world for a while and got to run around a little bit with some of these rugby guys down in New Zealand.

So it's kind of a neat experience.

First of all, you know, one of the things I saw, you know, just this is something that people are really fascinated with.

Don't even know anything about rugby, but it's something that I'm sure you're, obviously you're enemy familiar it, is the Haka, which is a, you know, it's a Maori cultural sort of, you know, chance, you know, and it's got a lot of cultural significance, but you guys do that before all your international matches and, you know, the Hockas performed for various other, you know, sort of culturalistic reasons sometimes with weddings and stuff like that.

I know there's a couple different versions probably the most famous one. At least I think so, it's probably the one you call the Komete one, which I think translates means you're going to die. We're basically going to kill you or something like that, right? And so one of the things, you know, when we talk about sports in general, you know, there's a there's a there's a cost of arousal you know and if you're going to do a big

powerlifting me if you're going to pull a deadlift things you know we talk about sports in general you know there's a there's a

there's a customer of arousal you know and if you're gonna do a big power lifting me if you're gonna pull a deadlift you know you want to be maximally aroused so why guys are sniffing ammonia they're just kind of just jacking up their arousal well whereas if you're doing something like jack does and Zach does and X one of these crazy guys goes out and runs a hundred miles he doesn't want to be jumped jacked up on adrenaline so it's kind of more of a more just gentle state of

arousal but But my sort of thought is, you know, the hockey is very stimulating mentally. It gets you ready for the game. And I'm sure if you have a good haka, you know, if you're really just, you know, getting it, you feel that emotion going, you probably play better, I guess. Is there anything to that to that or might just making this stuff up what's going through your mind when you're

in there yelling at the French athletes we're going to kill you you know what's going on there

yeah I can see I can see both points you know I can definitely see they're getting jacked up for a

de-lift and a squad and um Zach's point of being nice and relaxed because obviously he's got to run for a long time
