The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Thanks for having listened to our Breakfast Bonus podcast today.
We're talking about this thing called the Enhanced Games and
it's exactly what you think. It's like the Olympics, but
everyone's enhance like they are literally taking drugs and it's okay.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, it's an absolutely fascinating process. Are we not excited
about the fact that we could see world records be
destroyed by these epics? Or are we just like they're
taking drugs. We're not into it, We're not I feel of.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
It firmly in the second camp.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
I just feel like for years we've been trying to
clean it up, and some people have slipped through the cracks.
But I just think it would make a mockery of
everyone that's trying to do it the right way.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
But I think that that's the problem. And I've been
just listened to a podcast it was a Joe Rogan
podcast on it recently, on the Enhanced Game with the
two founders of it, and they've done some research and
they reckon that the amount of people that are already
in the genuine games that are taking enhancement drugs is
way bigger around fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Really forty four not being caught.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I mean that comes down to the half life of
drugs and how good your doctors are in terms of
getting through it.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Isn't that like saying, we're trying to stop people stealing,
but you know people are stealing, so we might as
well just all steal.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Isn't it like that?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I see a point, Tony, But this part of me,
and I don't know what this is, but this part
of me is actually a little bit fascinated by this.
How far can we push it? Like how fast can
a human run? Breaking the seven seconds? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
People are going to die, aren't they?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well, well that's it. How far we the people?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
That was a really interesting point about the documentary is
that you know, throughout the history of the Olympic Games,
there have not been doctors associated with athletes in terms
of checking their house So all the doctors.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
I suspect a lot of the Olympians to have doctors
that check their health.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
No, not from the not from they have doctors, of course,
but not from the jurisdiction of the Games. So all
of the doctors that are with the Games are there
to monitor blood levels to stop doping. Right now, You've
got doctors that are actually looking at the parameters of
their health before they're allowed to compete, and that's pretty
much the parameters of whether or not you can perform
under testosterone or human growth hormone or whatever the drugs.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Won't that just then give us similar games to what
we've got. Now, what do you mean if they're all
in the same gear?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Yeah, and well, I well know what I'm saying is
if you've got health doctors that are saying you can't
go over this certain limit because that's not good for
your health, won't we then not get the desired effect
of having every unduced up, which is kind of what
but I see what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I think their argument is, though, is that they can
do it safely. What these what these guys, these co
founders of the games we're talking about, was the fact
that a lot of the drugs that these guys use
can be used beneficially and the real population as well.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
I think that this is the pr angle that coming
out with and I feel like maybe behind the scenes,
I mean, if you've got people that want to cheat, essentially,
that's what it is, right, cheating with drugs and I
know they're allowed to. You're going to get dodgy stuff
happening everywhere. You're going to have you know what I'm saying,
it's put in the boat, just like cool runnings in
(02:58):
the Bob.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Slid, you know, like, is that not what we're going
to get? And then maybe we want to see that,
But isn't it?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Isn't it leveling the playing fields as opposed to making
it less fair.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Some people are doing it, some people aren't, but everyone's
doing it.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
For example, the facts about swimmers, like apparently all the
swimmers have have asthma because asthma medication opens up their
lungs and makes them faster. So there's a whole all
the swimmers out there in the current Olympic Games have
asthma because they can they get dispensation to use them.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Isn't that fear? Then if they're all taking the asthma.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
It's exactly their point street games, because.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
What I'm saying is they've ocated because asthma is a genuine.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Health they still have they have to get dispensation.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Yeah yeah, yeah, if you're saying ninety percent of them,
but they're not also injecting testosterone here and good steroid here.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I'm like, I'm so caught up on this, Like I
I kind of want to. I want to see how
fast they can go, how fast they can run the hundred,
or how fast they can do the.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
First spect They'll get a lot of viewership, I think.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
And that's and that's the thing that's part of his fascinating.
And I saw something a little while ago. I think
when they first announced.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
This, when is it?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I think that's still up in the air. But what
we do know is that it's going to be a
different feats, so they're not limited by the fact that
they're not going to have it in one country, which
means they have to spend billions of dollars on stadiums,
which means now that athletes who have done their whole
career is not getting paid, are all of a sudden
going to get paid and thousands of registrations sport. Yeah,
(04:26):
so these guys are going to make doun.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
So it's coming back out of retirement where there's Aspra Nila.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
If you break your word record, you get a million bucks.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
It's pretty good, that's.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
What they say.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Times and apparent they've sold it. They've got sponsors and
all sorts.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Of You're not going to go down as a will
record holder, though, We'll go down as the cheating world
record holder.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
All the Russians back in the day.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, only in the boring games and the exciting games.
You've got the record.
