Why does he put "out" after "give"?

Native speaker’s answer

In this video, to "give out" something means to "hand out," or to "give something to another person," usually for free. When Dwight says "They don't give out black belts..." he is saying that black belts are not just given to anyone. They put the word "out" after the word "give" because they are emphasizing that things are being given to others for free. Ex: They are giving out free t-shirts. Keep in mind, "give out" doesn't always mean to give something away. It can also mean to come to an end or to stop working. It depends on the structure of the sentence. Just make sure to pay attention to the sentence. Ex: My knee gave out.
