• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast. There's a
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: lot to be said for the power of a hug.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, a hug can melt all kinds of issues
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: and worries and just it just feels good.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, physical touch. I remember as a kid loving my
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: back being tickled or scratched by my parents, and now
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I do it to my kids. Something soothing about it, rubbed.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: And I still love a back rub mum anyone.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And I think touch does fade though, doesn't it.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: You know, as you get older, least people touch.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: You get my needing touchy fix from my kids.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I give you a hut.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Also, I'm a bit you know, it's nice to have
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: some you know, a little touchy for your partner as well.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: We not go into that territory.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: So there is a validated form of touch on connection,
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: isn't It doesn't have to No, no, it doesn't have
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: to progress.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: It's the problem with a lot of being. You can't
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: just satisfied with a hug, you know what. Deep And
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: my wife's accused me before that's true.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Oh I give a bum steps because you know, it
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to go there, you know.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Massage does though, doesn't it It does. That's where your
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: massage always with the shoulders, then moves to the lower back,
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: and then it's the upper bottom because there's always a
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: problem region to twight up a bottom. Yeah, you rub
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: them and then all hell breaks loose and you're either
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: swatted away or your bloody and so hugs.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: This is the power of a hug, right and just
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: a normal normal sexual hug. Wow, you can relieve stress,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: build our immune system, so actually wards off illness. A
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: hug can ward off illness. Depends that the person you're
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: hugging a sick I suppose lowers blood pressure and boosts
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: heart health. So you relax, your heart feels better and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you actually feel good.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, relaxing.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: You can't just be doing it willing and ally though,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: you have to be very careful like of course no
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent, but more than consent even greetings. You
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: know we've talked about this before. As a man. You
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: can't full frontal hugger, woman.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I think that's rubbish.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Hug from the side of you be happy with the full.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Frontal you can't do it. I don't think there should
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: be limits to hugging. I think the more hugs the better.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I wish, I wish it was that way, but it's
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: just not.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: You hugged me every morning when I came in. I'd
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: be fine with that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: There's etiquette around hugging.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I just think it depends on the person. He's
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: a stranger, but I think someone you know. There are
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: like the awkward people though, when you hug them stiff
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: and they.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Get you that that's me. They're so cold. You're a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: hugger when you meet people.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Not really, No, it means.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: You weren't touched nicely when you're a kid. You just
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: didn't get enough.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: But when you hug or get hugged, your body releases
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: oxytocin and side as to call that for cattle hormone.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Even a pat on the back can do one. As
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: like you said before, it's the whole touching.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Thing is the hard wrong, and then it releases the
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: other chemicals of fright and flight.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: So researches have found that even just a pad on
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the back statistically improves your chances of a successful basketball throw.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: What do you mean that's what they did? They thought, Okay,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: so we know that the hugging.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: And touching basketball throw you shooting a part.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Free throw free throw. Yeah. So what they did is,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: we know there's the value of a hug and value
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: on a touch. So these scientists in Switzerland decided, okay,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: let's just take this step further. Let's see how effective
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a pat on the back is. So they got this
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: basketball team and they watched sixty games of basketball and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: over eight hundred and thirty five incidents of free throws,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and they saw that if that person didn't get a
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: pat on the back, they missed a pedal, that they
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: got it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Now they's basket team.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: To do that, and they took it to another level
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: that is this just coincidence. So what they did is
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: they got them to fail, and they watched to fail
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the first shot. If you fail the first shot, then
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: you got a pad on the back every time. Now
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the second shot, every time, every time? Every time.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Did it not have anything to do with the fact
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that you really screwed up the first one and you're
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: desperate to get this?
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: They were statistically significant, But you can really elevate this, yes,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: like at least not stop at a high five. If
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: you mate give.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Him a give, you give him a tunkers. It's not.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: It doesn't often happen in a game of US. Word
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: will be taking some of the other teams by surprise.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: But I tell you what, if you can push those
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: dopamine chemicals up even higher, I'm there for it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to shoot somebody, get on me. Thanks for
