Podbit · The Megyn Kelly Show
Megyn Kelly cited detailed records showing male athlete June Eastwood's times were faster than long-standing women's collegiate records in multiple events: nearly 4 seconds faster in the 800m, faster than a decade-old record in the 1500m, and 13 seconds ahead in the 5000m. Meanwhile, media coverage called Eastwood 'transcendent.'

Kelly uses public records to document the performance gap that female athletes like Madison Kenyon faced. June Eastwood's 800m personal best was nearly 4 seconds faster than the women's collegiate record; his 1500m time beat a decade-old record; his 5000m time was 13 seconds ahead of the women's record [1] — Megyn Kelly "Megyn Kelly cited detailed records showing male athlete June Eastwood's times were faster than long-standing women's collegiate records in …" 1:23:35 . Yet USA Today's coverage called him 'transcendent,' framed his presence as a 'life or death issue,' and focused entirely on his gender dysphoria rather than the women he displaced. Waggoner then offers the Lia Thomas data point — ranked 65th in men's swimming, first in women's — and the BPJ statistic: one middle schooler displaced 470 girls a combined 1,400 times. Kenyon reflects on how one male athlete in a 9-lane race displaces 8 women, and notes that with over 100,000 trans youth potentially competing, the scale of the problem is massive.
Kristen Waggoner cited science indicating that over 90% of children struggling with gender identity, if allowed to go through natural adolescence, do not seek medical transition.
Pro-trans outlet OutSports estimated as many as 122,000 transgender youth ages 13 to 17 could be participating in high school team athletics — far more than media reports suggesting only 10.
Alliance Defending Freedom filed the very first case defending female athletes against biological males in women's sports in Connecticut in 2017, with Megyn Kelly conducting the first interview of those athletes.
Thomas's wife deferred her CrossFit career — she's in the global top 1% of athletes — to put him through law school debt-free. He wants her to chase the dream now; she wants the emergency fund and house down payment first. On a $200K lawyer income with no debt, the opportunity cost is just a few months of slower saving.
Underground calisthenics battles are exactly like UFC meets a rap battle — 150 people crowded around a circle, fighters walking out with masks and chains, nicknames like 'Extra Money' vs 'Calisthenics the Prince,' and people throwing money and betting. The battle set: 100 burpees, 50 muscle-ups, 75 dips, 75 squats with a 65-pound dumbbell. This is the next big spectator sport.
Rico Verhoeven controlled the undisputed heavyweight boxing champion for approximately 10 rounds — and had his appeal upheld when officials admitted the fight was stopped after the bell. The result was never overturned. Rogan calls it either incompetence or corruption, and argues the money behind Usyk made an upset politically inconvenient.
Rogan lays out a blunt case: boxing's 3-judge system is structurally broken, and the judges know who the promoter wants to win. Glory's 5-judge format is the right model. Corruption doesn't have to be conscious — just knowing Usyk is the cash cow is enough to tilt the scales.
With the Usyk-Wilder fight stalling and Fury-Joshua coming too late, the real fight the world wants is the rematch. Rico is a free agent. Usyk vacated his belts. The story is unfinished and both Rogan and Rico know it. His Excellency Turki Alasheikh already called for it ringside — the question is money.
Rico texted Jason Statham during the Canelo-Crawford fight. Statham showed Rico's highlight videos to promoters. Two days later, Rico was on a call about fighting Anthony Joshua. When Joshua pulled out, Rico pitched Usyk himself — Undisputed vs. Undisputed. Usyk said yes in two weeks. The whole thing started with one text.
Every heavyweight who faced Usyk tried to move to the right — straight into his power hand. Rico and Peter Fury identified the obvious solution: move left, away from the left hand, and smother him with size. It sounds simple. Nobody had done it. That one adjustment was the foundation of 10 dominant rounds.
MMA fans boo when fights go to the ground. They love stand-up. Kickboxing is pure stand-up. Yet it barely exists in America while boxing and MMA are enormous. Rogan's diagnosis: no promotion machine. If the UFC got behind kickboxing the way they've built MMA, it would explode. The talent is there — the storytelling machine is not.
A nation of 17 million people gave the world Ramon Deckers, Peter Aerts, Badr Hari, Melvin Manhoef, Rob Kamen, Ernesto Hoost, and Rico Verhoeven. Rico's theory: the country is so small that every gym shares knowledge freely. In the US, you need a flight. In Holland, you drive 40 minutes and spar the national champion.
