And only 42 athletes? so we're talking some exhibitions this isn't even like a sports head-to-head battles to get wrapped up about okay we're gonna have straight up only exhibitions shades of power lifting here a little bit huh a little bit we'll talk about it a little bit and only one world record falls and that's the whole premise of this thing And if you're wondering, how did this go? Day of, 250,000 people tuned in to watch it.

You understand? And two weeks later, it still hasn't hit the million mark for views, which has got to be a flop.

I don't know what the hell, how this could be with the amount of money they're throwing.

Look, they got Sheffield Views and their prize money is a lot bigger than Sheffield.

Let me tell you that right now, all right? Johnny, what was your impression? How the hell do you summarize this? How did this go so wrong?

First of all, I had a pretty strong feeling this was gonna go wrong once they started advertising about maybe a little under a year ago.

Once they started doing the supplement thing and the HRT thing, I was like, oh dude, this is not the way to do this.

As soon as you start getting gimmicky and markety, people are just perturbed.

You know what I mean? They don't get as excited and they're not building these stories around these athletes.

talk about the actual results, right? There's three conclusions to draw from this, okay? Possible conclusions to draw from this.

Two of which I've seen super popular, one of which I haven't, from anybody that isn't on gear.

But number one, right? The most popular one that I've seen on social media is that people in the Olympics are on gear, right? Which is...

I think there's a stat, don't quote me on it, but something between 70% and 80% of all Olympic athletes on their path to the Olympics before retirement have popped for something, right? I personally know, I'm not going to...

know a couple people um super super smart guys that uh change the molecular structure of gear so that it's not tested and i know nfl athletes mlb athletes professional athletes that take this stuff that get tested and it's totally fine right i hope none of us are naive enough to think um that these people aren't on anything But that's not to say that the top guys are or that all of these records are done dishonestly.
