Zach George, thanks for coming on.

Thank you, mate.

Yeah, thank you for having me.

I've been looking forward to this.

So tell me just then you were saying, you're not at home, you're at your mate's house.

Why is that?

I'm saying my mate's house because I've become allergic to my dog.

So I have so many allergies, it's ridiculous.

Like nuts, penicillin, bees, wasps, hay fever, dogs, cats, like the list is endless.

And I've always had poodles, so poodles have been fine, but I've suddenly become allergic.

The last sort of six, seven months, and it's stopped me from breathing.

And obviously my job is to be the best athlete I can be, so struggling to be isn't the one.

So hold on, you're a hundred kilogram silver back is your nickname.

All right, you're an athlete.

You're this big macho alpha guy and you hear you're like, when looking at dog breeds,

you're like, poodle, that's me.

Is that correct?

Yeah, I've had poodles all my life and people have always made the same joke.

So I'm pretty used to it, but yeah, I've got so many allergies and it's pretty tough

and obviously we've had the poodle for like two years now.

But yeah, I'm literally having to have my asthma pump kind of four or five times a day

just to get free the day and I'm not even asthmatic.
