00:04
they better get something more than a medal.
00:07
I mean, they're representing a whole country.
00:09

00:11
the governing body of the Olympics does not give out any prize
00:15
money for winning medals.
00:16
However, 14 countries do provide payouts to athletes who make the
00:21
podium, including the US.
00:24
But it's crazy because there is this guy of the Philippines Carlos
00:27
yo, the gymnast who won gold medals in the floor
00:30
exercise vault. He's got the best prizes,
00:33
dude. Like he's got a,
00:34
a list. So they hook him up with a free college
00:38
education, right? A fully furnished condo worth over $400,000.
00:46
So again, it's a little casita,
00:48
an actual house. So a Congo and a house over $250,000
00:57
in cash. So like here you go,
00:59
you know, pay for your cable or Carrito.
01:02
I don't know an iphone 16 which is not even out yet
01:05
So I don't know how the fuck they have.
01:07
Oh, you're jealous of that.
01:08
What I see this guy,
01:13
this guy got gold.
01:13
You know, I just,
01:14
I just been a big back here in.
01:15
So count and he gets two free restaurant franchises.
01:19
I don't know what it is,
01:20
but Homeboy now is a restaurant owner.
01:22
Jolly B maybe. Huh?
01:24
That's what I was thinking too.
01:25
A lifetime of free mac and cheese,
01:28
grilled chicken ramen and more from various local restaurants.
01:32
That's very random in a lifetime of free colonoscopies after he turns
01:36
45. The, what,
01:41
what's the, is that the,
01:42
the little camera you put in your ass?
01:44
That's what I was wondering what it is.
01:46
But like why after 45?
01:47
Is that when you do it?
01:49
No, the real question is where did the colonoscopy come into
01:52
play with this? This is a random prize.
01:55
I mean, I can free,
01:56
free, free, free anything so good for him.
02:00
Yeah. It's like,
02:01

02:03
Well, not that I can compete anymore.
02:05
