  Speaker 1: The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Thanks for having listened to our Breakfast Bonus podcast today.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: We're talking about this thing called the Enhanced Games and
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: it's exactly what you think. It's like the Olympics, but
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: everyone's enhance like they are literally taking drugs and it's okay.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an absolutely fascinating process. Are we not excited
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: about the fact that we could see world records be
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: destroyed by these epics? Or are we just like they're
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: taking drugs. We're not into it, We're not I feel of.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: It firmly in the second camp.
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: I just feel like for years we've been trying to
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: clean it up, and some people have slipped through the cracks.
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: But I just think it would make a mockery of
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: everyone that's trying to do it the right way.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: But I think that that's the problem. And I've been
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: just listened to a podcast it was a Joe Rogan
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: podcast on it recently, on the Enhanced Game with the
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: two founders of it, and they've done some research and
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: they reckon that the amount of people that are already
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: in the genuine games that are taking enhancement drugs is
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: way bigger around fifty percent.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Really forty four not being caught.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I mean that comes down to the half life of
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: drugs and how good your doctors are in terms of
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: getting through it.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: Isn't that like saying, we're trying to stop people stealing,
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: but you know people are stealing, so we might as
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: well just all steal.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Isn't it like that?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I see a point, Tony, But this part of me,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and I don't know what this is, but this part
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: of me is actually a little bit fascinated by this.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: How far can we push it? Like how fast can
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a human run? Breaking the seven seconds? I don't know.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: People are going to die, aren't they?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Well, well that's it. How far we the people?
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: That was a really interesting point about the documentary is
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: that you know, throughout the history of the Olympic Games,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: there have not been doctors associated with athletes in terms
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: of checking their house So all the doctors.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: I suspect a lot of the Olympians to have doctors
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: that check their health.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: No, not from the not from they have doctors, of course,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: but not from the jurisdiction of the Games. So all
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: of the doctors that are with the Games are there
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to monitor blood levels to stop doping. Right now, You've
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: got doctors that are actually looking at the parameters of
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: their health before they're allowed to compete, and that's pretty
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: much the parameters of whether or not you can perform
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: under testosterone or human growth hormone or whatever the drugs.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Won't that just then give us similar games to what
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: we've got. Now, what do you mean if they're all
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: in the same gear?
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and well, I well know what I'm saying is
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: if you've got health doctors that are saying you can't
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: go over this certain limit because that's not good for
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: your health, won't we then not get the desired effect
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: of having every unduced up, which is kind of what
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: but I see what I mean.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I think their argument is, though, is that they can
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: do it safely. What these what these guys, these co
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: founders of the games we're talking about, was the fact
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: that a lot of the drugs that these guys use
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: can be used beneficially and the real population as well.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: I think that this is the pr angle that coming
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: out with and I feel like maybe behind the scenes,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you've got people that want to cheat, essentially,
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: that's what it is, right, cheating with drugs and I
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: know they're allowed to. You're going to get dodgy stuff
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: happening everywhere. You're going to have you know what I'm saying,
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: it's put in the boat, just like cool runnings in
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: the Bob.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Slid, you know, like, is that not what we're going
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: to get? And then maybe we want to see that,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: But isn't it?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Isn't it leveling the playing fields as opposed to making
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: it less fair.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Some people are doing it, some people aren't, but everyone's
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: doing it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: For example, the facts about swimmers, like apparently all the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: swimmers have have asthma because asthma medication opens up their
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: lungs and makes them faster. So there's a whole all
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the swimmers out there in the current Olympic Games have
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: asthma because they can they get dispensation to use them.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Isn't that fear? Then if they're all taking the asthma.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: It's exactly their point street games, because.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: What I'm saying is they've ocated because asthma is a genuine.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Health they still have they have to get dispensation.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, if you're saying ninety percent of them,
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: but they're not also injecting testosterone here and good steroid here.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm so caught up on this, Like I
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I kind of want to. I want to see how
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: fast they can go, how fast they can run the hundred,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: or how fast they can do the.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: First spect They'll get a lot of viewership, I think.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And that's and that's the thing that's part of his fascinating.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And I saw something a little while ago. I think
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: when they first announced.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: This, when is it?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I think that's still up in the air. But what
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: we do know is that it's going to be a
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: different feats, so they're not limited by the fact that
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: they're not going to have it in one country, which
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: means they have to spend billions of dollars on stadiums,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: which means now that athletes who have done their whole
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: career is not getting paid, are all of a sudden
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: going to get paid and thousands of registrations sport. Yeah,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: so these guys are going to make doun.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: So it's coming back out of retirement where there's Aspra Nila.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: If you break your word record, you get a million bucks.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: It's pretty good, that's.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: What they say.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Times and apparent they've sold it. They've got sponsors and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: all sorts.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: Of You're not going to go down as a will
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: record holder, though, We'll go down as the cheating world
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: record holder.
• 4:48

• 4:50
