Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

Chapter 4: What are the most interesting pre- or post-game rituals of athletes?
My birthday is 6-28, a day before you. What teammate had the most interesting pre- or post-game ritual? Did you have any post-pre-game rituals? That's for you, ISO. Did I have any post-pregame rituals? I didn't. I didn't have no post-pregame rituals. Any guys that I played with that had some that stood out?
Nothing that I can really remember that was, like, you know, worth writing home about, to be honest with you. I just did the same thing, ate the same. Did you eat the same thing pregame, or did you change up? Well, I always wanted to be light. So I never, I couldn't like, I would see guys eat like an hour before the game sitting in their lockers. I could never be one of them. Oh, yeah.
Chapter 5: How do athletes manage their diet during the season?
I could never have nothing on my stomach before I played. I always, you know, I always wanted an empty stomach. Yeah. Yeah, but see you, I mean, we played at 2 o'clock, Joe. I would eat my meal. I'm eating at like 10. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, so if we had a 7 o'clock game, I'm probably eating after shoot-around, so I'm probably eating about 12, 31 o'clock, and then I take me a nice little nap, and that's a wrap. Yeah, I don't eat no more after that, after the game, and I'd be starving, too. Me neither. Me neither. I couldn't have nothing on my stomach. I don't know how guys did there, bro.
Nah, I mean, I would get some pasta at night.
Chapter 6: What are the experiences of athletes with food post-game?
I'd get that pasta. You know, everybody got that. That's that pasta, Coach. You know, they got to have that pasta. Oh, yeah. Pasta and ice cream.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, after the game now. I'm going to pig out. I'm going to have me a nice little fat meal after the game. What you eating? I'm probably going to go. I'll probably get me a steak or some good chicken, fish. I'm going to eat a good meal after the game. You eat fried chicken after the game, Joe?
Chapter 7: How do athletes respond to social media criticism?
It depends on, you know, when you're on the road, whatever they got up in there, you got to eat. It may not be nothing you want. Like, they may have pizza in there. I'm like, damn, I don't want no damn pizza. But I'm going to eat me a few slices. You're about to hold you over, huh? Man, what? Cause you get on that bus and get to that hotel, that stomach go to growling. Ooh wee.
In college, Ocho, did y'all like, what did they give y'all after the game? Did they give y'all, because see, they used to give us chicken boxes after the game. We got a three-piece chicken box with a honey bun and a Coca-Cola. Oh, no, no, no.
That's so funny. That's a great question.
Chapter 8: What are the key arguments in the GOAT debate between LeBron and Jordan?
I really can't remember, especially, you got to think, I was only at Oregon State that one year in that 2000 season. But Dennis Erickson, he took care of us. He took care of us.
He took care of us. I really can't remember what we had during that time, though.
Yeah, I'm like, man. But no, I can do cardio. I can't lift on an empty stomach. I get lightheaded. Yeah. With cardio, because I do fasted cardio, I don't eat, you know. I go like 12, 15 hours before I eat my next meal. That's the best way to do cardio, though, when you're trying to lose a little fat. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of people don't know that. You do that fasted cardio on an empty stomach.
Yeah.
Yeah, but that's what we used to get. Get that metabolism jumping. I ain't gonna tell nobody, but I used to steal guys' honey buns out there. I have me three pieces of chicken and two honey buns. And I love them honey buns, man. Man, you know, Joe, man, you know honey buns $4? Now? Yes.
Hey, hey, hey, you know when you get that honey bun, you pop it, you bust that pack open a little bit, you throw that thing in the microwave for about eight to nine seconds. Oh, my microwave 11, because I got the cheap microwave, so I knew you got to add two seconds. Okay, yeah, but it wasn't no more than about eight, I think about nine, ten seconds, old Joe.
I'm talking about that thing come out there. Perfect. Boy, hey, honey buns and volume of sausages. Boy, old cold Coca-Cola. Yeah. Boy, that's a meal, though. Hey, hey. Oh, Ocho, when I was playing in Phoenix, I was 22, 23. Bro, I'm driving to the game eating a honey bun. Like, I could eat, like, that's because I ain't know no better. You know what I mean? Like, I was young.
I ain't know no better. Like, man, let me get me a little honey bun before I go in. Unless I got older, boy, you can't eat like that no more. No, but, hey, my first year in Denver, every meal I ate was fast food. It was either Dairy Queen, McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's. Every meal. 8% body fat. I mean, them French toast sticks, sausage egg croissant. Yes, sir.
Hey, I run to the store, I get Wendy's, I get me a bacon double cheeseburger, bacon double cheeseburger with ketchup on it, super-sized fry, super-sized corn on a frosty. I'm like, man, you mean like that? Yeah, that's me. Hey, Joe, I would like that my whole career, Joe.
