Speaker Time Text
joe rogan
Three.
Two.
One.
unidentified
Yee-haw!
joe rogan
I walked in.
You guys were watching soccer.
I was hugely disappointed.
brendan schaub
Dude, England's in penalty kicks.
joe rogan
Oh my god, is that okay?
brendan schaub
What happens?
It's the World Cup, man.
If they win, they move on.
And they just won.
They just won.
England just won.
They just fucking won.
joe rogan
Are you guys rooting for England?
brendan schaub
Are you?
I'm English, man.
I'm half English.
unidentified
Are you?
brendan schaub
My mom was born and raised there, bro.
joe rogan
I thought you were black.
brendan schaub
What's up, bro?
I know.
Most people do.
English, son.
joe rogan
So you really root for England?
brendan schaub
Yeah, big time.
unidentified
No shit.
Yes.
joe rogan
Wow.
unidentified
Yeah.
I know.
joe rogan
Do you know what's happening when they're playing, or do you only know when the ball goes in?
brendan schaub
No, I have kind of an idea.
I would say I'm a blue belt in soccer.
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
A blue belt.
I wake up early and watch the games.
Only World Cup.
unidentified
Wow.
brendan schaub
Only World Cup.
joe rogan
Dude, I was in Boulder.
You know, Boulder's like the People's Republic of Boulder.
I don't have to tell you.
You're from Colorado.
You know what it's like out there.
brendan schaub
I went to school there, son.
joe rogan
Boulder's rough.
Yes.
They're like super-duper liberal.
And people were...
Unnaturally happy about the World Cup.
Like super excited that they know so much about soccer and yelling.
I was at a bar and I was like, ew.
brendan schaub
That'll make you hate it.
unidentified
Ew.
brendan schaub
That'll make you hate it.
But if you go to England, you'll feel good about it.
joe rogan
But it was this certain type of white dude.
brendan schaub
Let's see you, bro.
unidentified
Let's see you.
joe rogan
They mean well.
They probably had a dad that was in the Navy or some shit.
Got bullied around at home, and they just went the total opposite hard way.
That shit happens, man.
brendan schaub
He's a tough sell, especially if you're an athlete, like a black athlete.
Oh, God.
That's why they struggle a little bit.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
Look at the beautiful mountains.
They're like, bitch, I don't hike.
I don't give a fuck about your mountains.
That's why they struggle, I think, recruiting.
joe rogan
Really?
It's so beautiful there, though.
brendan schaub
Yeah, if you're into fucking hiking and fucking water rafting and shit.
joe rogan
The people are super nice, too, though.
unidentified
They're alright.
brendan schaub
They don't give a fuck about sports.
Where if you go to a southern school like Georgia or Tennessee, you're a god.
You're getting your dick sucked every fucking period after class.
joe rogan
Is that bad?
That they don't care or is it good?
It's bad.
It makes you work hard.
brendan schaub
No, it sucks.
joe rogan
You got nature out there, though.
Eagles and shit.
unidentified
Bears.
joe rogan
Fucking nature.
Did you know that wolves and bears and wolves and grizzly bears are making their way back into Colorado?
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
About goddamn time.
joe rogan
Interesting.
brendan schaub
Why were they gone?
joe rogan
Well, they killed them off in the 1800s, and then they reintroduced them to Yellowstone.
And mostly they stayed around Wyoming and Montana, where Yellowstone is, and they made their way into Idaho.
But now they've definitely spotted them in Colorado, and they're also a very credible source.
In fact, my friend Adam Greentree took video of what he said was a grizzly bear, and he knows the difference.
brendan schaub
He knows his shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado last September.
So they think that there's a population of grizzly bears.
brendan schaub
Adam would know.
joe rogan
He would know.
brendan schaub
And if you watch the news, like the local news in LA, which I do, especially when I get depressed, there's a bunch of black bears in hot tubs and shit just popping up.
joe rogan
In Pasadena.
brendan schaub
Just chilling in hot tubs.
Why do they love the tubs?
joe rogan
Well, they don't know that it's a hot tub.
They just know it's water.
So, like, for them to find a spot that's filled with water, it's probably terrible for them, unless you have a salt pool.
brendan schaub
Look how hot it is, doing the chlorine.
joe rogan
The chlorine, that's what I'm saying.
Like, if the bear's drinking all that chlorine.
brendan schaub
Jizz in that pool?
You know, you're doing hot tub.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's like, that's dick soup.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Get that cock soup from the black bears.
joe rogan
Yeah, what percentage of hot tubs do people fucking?
brendan schaub
100% is the answer, 100%.
Well, in Pasadena, it's a little older.
joe rogan
In Pasadena, they're just rocking it out out there.
Yeah, there's a lot of bears up there.
There's a funny video, man, of this dude in Pasadena, and he's on his phone, and he's walking down an alley, and as he turns and walks down the alley, he's just on his phone, and he's looking down.
He's not looking where he's going.
He looks up, and there's a fucking bear right in front of him.
brendan schaub
And the bear doesn't do shit?
joe rogan
The bear doesn't know what to do, and he just runs.
brendan schaub
Both of them are like, what the fuck?
joe rogan
See if he can find that.
Dude, so the homie is just not paying attention.
brendan schaub
Dude, I would shit my pants.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, for sure.
It's very dangerous.
brendan schaub
Like you saw the homeboys in Seattle get fucked up.
Well, one died by the mountain line.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
That super hungry mountain line.
joe rogan
Yeah, just on a bike.
Apparently the mountain line was emaciated.
It was all fucked up and sick and it only weighed like 90 something pounds, but it still fucked both of those dudes up.
brendan schaub
But they tell you, like, oh, use your bike as a shield and scare him off.
And that line's like, what?
I don't give a fuck about your Trek bike.
joe rogan
Yeah, they hit it with the bike, apparently.
It didn't do shit.
brendan schaub
How about homeboy?
It was like, dude, you're getting attacked.
I'm going to run and get help.
Way to go, asshole.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Runs off and that line goes, where the fuck are you going?
And then kills him.
joe rogan
The line killed him.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Homeboy got away.
joe rogan
You know, that happened in Beijing, too, with the lady who got out of the car and a tiger attacked her at the wild animal park.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's what you get.
joe rogan
She got out of the car, the tiger attacked her.
Here it is today.
Damn, that's a big bear, bro.
It's a big bear.
That's a fucking terrifying bear.
So this guy, he's on his cell phone.
Where's the...
brendan schaub
Dude, that's a big-ass bear.
joe rogan
Here it is.
Here it is.
Watch.
The dude's on his phone.
unidentified
Look at this.
joe rogan
He's like, fuck, which is, by the way, the worst fucking thing you could do.
He just got super lucky.
See if you can pull back, you can see where the bear walks behind those bushes.
Yeah, right here.
unidentified
This is hilarious, dude.
joe rogan
Look, the bear's walking right there.
The guy walks down.
He's not even looking.
brendan schaub
He's like, oh, shit!
Dude, so you're supposed to get loud, right?
Like, get as big as possible?
joe rogan
Yes, you definitely don't want to run away, because their instincts are to chase.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but they say when you get loud and, like, challenge them, like, you hear about that...
I don't know why I'm laughing.
You hear about that Boy Scout leader?
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
Who they ran...
They saw a bear, and, you know, it's like, play dead, or...
Or do your thing when you play dead, or get real big and loud.
They don't know exactly what to do, but I guess in the Boy Scout fucking handbook it says to get loud and make a scene.
I don't know if I got loud and made a scene, and that bear was like, oh cool, hey kids, watch this.
Ate them asshole first in front of the whole squad.
joe rogan
Oh no.
brendan schaub
Yeah, so I don't think they know exactly.
joe rogan
Well, the problem is bears are just like every other animal, right?
Like, think about dogs.
All dogs are different, man.
Some dogs just come over their house and they're like, hey, what's going on?
How you doing?
And then some dudes come over their house and their dog's checking you out.
Like, I don't know, motherfucker.
I'm not sure about you.
They get around you and the hair comes up and you're like, oh my god, his hair's up?
brendan schaub
The worst.
joe rogan
Your dog has his hair up?
What's going on here?
I think bears are probably just like dogs.
They vary.
They vary.
brendan schaub
They say it also depends where you're at.
Like, they walked into his cave.
So he's like, you're in my house?
Give me that asshole.
joe rogan
Oh, that's terrifying.
brendan schaub
I know.
Thank you for that cub scout.
You're like, oh my god.
joe rogan
Apparently the worst thing that could happen is you walk into a female with their cubs.
brendan schaub
Game over.
joe rogan
Yeah.
A female grizzly with their cubs should just light you up.
brendan schaub
You don't have no chance.
It's not like you're going to...
What do you do?
I was listening to some bitch on the news because they were talking about black bears in hot tubs and if you run into one, this lady was saying, go...
So hilarious.
Punch them in the nose.
Oh my god.
Their noses are super sensitive.
Or go for the eyes.
Yeah, let me try that.
joe rogan
They bite each other's faces.
People have to understand.
They fight with each other, which they do all the time.
They do all the time.
They're always fighting.
I've seen bears in person fight in the wild.
I've seen it.
They just fight.
Especially during the rut, like in the springtime.
They fucking bite each other's faces and it doesn't even look like anything happened.
brendan schaub
They're good.
joe rogan
They bite the shit out of each other and nothing happens.
unidentified
So you punch that thing in the nose?
joe rogan
With you little bitch-ass hands.
Like, what are you gonna do?
brendan schaub
Callan has an old bit where...
He's dead on a special, so you won't mind me saying it, but Callan has an old bit where people go, Oh, just punch a shark in the nose.
Did you ever try punching underwater?
He's like...
unidentified
That's so true!
joe rogan
I've thought that exact same thing.
I've thought that exact same thing.
Like, how much could you generate underwater?
Like, people go underwater to work out.
You've seen that famous photo of Ali?
Ali used to do a lot of shadow boxing underwater.
brendan schaub
And John recreated it.
Have you seen the John Jones one?
It's fucking dope.
joe rogan
That's right.
unidentified
It's dope.
joe rogan
You know, GSP does a lot of work in the water.
brendan schaub
He was the first one I knew was doing work in the water and actually for, I mean, months would drive down to Laguna Niguel where he's working out and we do these water workouts.
And we're in the pool.
We're in the pool for like two hours.
I was like, bro.
I did it for two weeks.
And he goes, you coming in on Wednesday?
That's the word.
That sounds more like someone with a mental disability.
I have problems with it.
I sound like Stephen Hawking.
joe rogan
You definitely sound like someone who doesn't know English that good.
brendan schaub
Not good.
So anyways, he goes, you're coming on Wednesday.
I won't do the accent again.
And I was like, nah, I'm not, man.
I'm sick of a fucking pool.
He'd be in there for like two hours.
He'd have these things.
He'd just be in there doing this.
joe rogan
Well, he does a lot of jumping, which is really interesting.
I was thinking about it.
I was like, yeah, you could generate maximum force jumping in the water, and it's probably real easy on the joints in comparison.
brendan schaub
It's easy on the joints, but I was listening to one expert talk about it.
Actually, I think Loren Landau was telling me he's a strength coach for the Denver Broncos now.
He was saying, it's good to mix in, but to do it every week all the time, especially in the sand or water, you're not getting the same explosiveness.
You're not generating the same explosive power.
joe rogan
So you should mix it up.
brendan schaub
Yeah, because if you're just doing that, it's actually going to make you less explosive.
joe rogan
Wow.
brendan schaub
GSP begs the difference.
joe rogan
Like Landau, but those dudes that are just on the cutting edge.
They're constantly comparing studies and just trying to get that little extra edge.
It is so interesting now.
The world of strength and conditioning has never been more complicated.
brendan schaub
Because there's no more bro science, though, also.
Because there's actual experts who are like, you can look it up now.
Back in the day, my buddy was like, dude, just eat fucking egg whites, which we know is a terrible thing.
Just eat egg whites and drink milk and you're going to get fucking swole.
Everyone had all sorts of weird fucking diets.
Just take this BSN NXO explode and you'll be jacked, bro.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's so many variables still.
There's still some variables, but when it comes to the guys that get paid big bucks to train top-level athletes, they seem to all be kind of on the same page.
brendan schaub
Correct.
Lauren Ando's one of my best friends.
joe rogan
A lot of it, plyometric stuff.
brendan schaub
A lot of plyometrics.
Usually they all agree on similar things.
They might have this variation here, this variation here, but most of them agree on the same fucking thing.
Meat and potatoes.
joe rogan
Lots of meat and potatoes.
No one's saying you need to be powerlifting only.
No one's doing anything stupid.
brendan schaub
A lot of them are saying doing max reps and multiple days and all this stuff.
That's not the way to go anymore.
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
The meathead days are over.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's over.
brendan schaub
But I say, fuck that noise.
I still do the meathead days.
Yeah, I like it.
Sometimes, like, whatever.
It's fun to be a meathead.
Put a little metallic on.
Get those jean shorts out.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Nice three-hour workout.
joe rogan
Feroz was on.
brendan schaub
Looking for Deka.
joe rogan
Feroz was giving us some insight into his philosophy on training.
brendan schaub
What'd he say?
joe rogan
It was the most interesting thing he said.
brendan schaub
He's a smart, smart man.
joe rogan
About as smart as people get.
But one of the more interesting things that he said was that you should never feel sore.
He's like, you should work out and you should build yourself up to the point where you never feel sore and never push yourself past your limit.
You should never be like, ah, never.
brendan schaub
And working out or training too?
joe rogan
He was talking about training.
He was talking about everything.
He was talking about just do more of it in a day.
brendan schaub
Interesting.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was saying that if you do like sets, like do a set, like here's a for instance.
I'm taking it out of context.
brendan schaub
This is his example?
joe rogan
Yeah, it was like if you did a certain amount, I forget the numbers he was talking about, but if you did a certain amount of work, let's just to paraphrase, say if you do 20 chin-ups, and you do two sets of 20 chin-ups, you like barely can get 20, and you're burnt out afterwards, and you're wrecked.
Or, instead of that, you're doing 40 reps, right?
Either way, do 40 of them throughout the day, but do it five reps at a time.
But do the same amount of work.
brendan schaub
How would you ever build stamina?
joe rogan
It's a good question.
But the idea being, well, I think it's a different thing.
But the idea being to get yourself into this position where you can train hard, especially with physical fitness type stuff, shouldn't break your body down totally.
You should just give your body enough of a chance to fully recover and then build up.
brendan schaub
I think we have to be a little careful with it because for us, specializes in mixed martial arts where there's so many disciplines where you can't go balls to the wall in strength condition.
You can't just break yourself with wrestling.
You can't just go hard and smart.
You have to kind of monitor those things and figure it out.
So I think it's a little bit of a biased thing.
He's right.
I think as far as it goes, it's mixed martial arts.
Loren Landell's been saying that forever because I'd go super hard in the weight room.
He's like, I'm telling you, tonight you have wrestling.
You're going to be screwed, man.
You've got to figure this out.
You've got to figure out this formula, man.
That was a long time ago.
joe rogan
Yeah, they think that doing weightlifting in lower reps more often is the way to do it.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
It's fucking interesting, man.
But when you're training for a fight, you're going to have to push yourself, right?
There's going to be certain things like whether it's hill sprints or whatever it is, I mean, you're going to push yourself to the limit.
brendan schaub
And I remember...
Bisping and GSB had the same concept in training with both of them.
I remember Bisping, he would go so hard in practice.
When he would warm up, his repetitions, striking, hitting mitts, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, everything was super high-paced.
This is where I get my cardio from.
I'm doing the actual sport of it.
I'm not going to go run fucking sprints.
I'm just going to do more wrestling rounds.
And GSB was very similar.
He'd go super hard in that aspect.
joe rogan
Yeah, GSP was a wizard with that stuff, man.
I mean, he was always at the cutting edge when it came to doing gymnastics.
Remember?
He was really into gymnastics.
brendan schaub
Did it with him.
Me, Mark Hart, and him would do it together.
joe rogan
So interesting.
brendan schaub
My big ass, I'd watch him do all these flips like, alright, man, let me try this bullshit fucking cartwheel.
And they're like, very good, man.
It's good.
You're getting better.
unidentified
You're getting better.
brendan schaub
Like, fuck you guys.
joe rogan
Does anybody your size do that stuff?
brendan schaub
I was the biggest one in there for sure, and the rest were all eight-year-old girls who were just monsters.
And then Nate and GSP. I just looked like this big Shrek character in there.
joe rogan
Gymnastics is probably the sport that gets dudes the most jacked.
When you see ring guys...
brendan schaub
They're tiny, though.
joe rogan
Right, but they're jacked.
Doesn't count.
brendan schaub
But doesn't count.
You ever seen a skinny midget?
A skinny small person?
Have you ever seen a real thin small person?
I'm sorry, small person?
joe rogan
They're all jacked.
Are they?
brendan schaub
They're all fat asses!
They're all jacked as fat asses, bro.
joe rogan
I don't think it's the same thing we're talking about here.
brendan schaub
I'm saying...
Dude, I'm saying they're smaller.
I know, they're small though, bro.
So they're jacked.
Like if LeBron got into gymnastics, he's not going to be jacked.
joe rogan
What's the average size of an Olympic gymnast?
brendan schaub
5'3".
joe rogan
Are they really tiny?
brendan schaub
Tiny, stocky, jacked.
But they've also been lifting like that since like four months old.
joe rogan
All I was getting at before your horrific ableist rant Do you know what ableist is?
That's the newest thing.
No, what is it?
If you make fun of someone who has a disability, you're ableist, including stupid people.
Tall gymnast is no oxymoron.
Okay, the average height for adult male gymnasts is around 5'4 to 5'7.
Jonathan Horton is listed as 5'1, 5'6, 5'8.
The tallest one is my height, 5'8.
brendan schaub
I mean, he's like the Dikembe Mutombo.
joe rogan
He's an outlier.
Who's the tallest?
jamie vernon
The tallest girl is like 5'2".
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus.
So that makes sense.
brendan schaub
And then our studs.
joe rogan
Does it say gymnastics stunts growth?
Is that really what they think?
brendan schaub
They start super young.
joe rogan
It said that right below that.
There was an article, does gymnastics stunt growth.
Is that a real question?
unidentified
Whether it stunts growth.
joe rogan
Right.
That's what I'm saying.
Is it a real question?
brendan schaub
Well, they say lifting young stunt your growth, right?
joe rogan
I heard that, but how do they know that?
unidentified
They don't.
brendan schaub
I've been lifting since fourth grade.
joe rogan
Maybe you'd be fucking super giant if you didn't.
unidentified
I know.
brendan schaub
Maybe I should have been fucking playing basketball.
joe rogan
What does it say?
Hold on a second.
Stunts growth explained.
brendan schaub
Hmm.
I don't remember at all.
Maybe there's drawn to it, you know?
Maybe there's short people who are drawn to it.
joe rogan
Makes sense.
Well, it's absolutely a myth.
brendan schaub
Says US Gymnastics.
joe rogan
Mmm.
Scientific community isn't entirely sure, but the idea that gymnasts would have grown to be a foot taller if they hadn't spent the time on the parallel bars is absolutely a myth.
brendan schaub
The best in the world is 4'8".
That's weird.
Simon Biles is 4'8".
joe rogan
Simone.
brendan schaub
Simone.
joe rogan
It's a girl, bro.
brendan schaub
Simone.
joe rogan
Don't misgender her.
brendan schaub
Her friends call her Simon.
joe rogan
Son of a bitch.
brendan schaub
I should call her Sim.
Talking about Sim?
Sim's 4'8", bro.
unidentified
Essentially.
brendan schaub
See that recovery?
joe rogan
That's a crazy sport, man, when everything is like ready, set, go.
It's all about doing it in one moment, right?
Someone says, go.
You know, it's there, and then you have to nail it.
But you have a routine.
brendan schaub
You have a routine.
You just gotta hit it.
joe rogan
Fuck up at all.
brendan schaub
Game over.
joe rogan
It's over.
A little slip, all those months and months.
brendan schaub
Will you watch gymnastics?
joe rogan
I'll watch a little bit.
brendan schaub
But you won't watch World Cup.
joe rogan
I watch World Cup.
I'm just fucking with you.
brendan schaub
I'm just saying, man.
joe rogan
Don't you understand?
Look, if I find out something you like, I'm going to start mocking it.
That's how we do.
brendan schaub
That's how we do, bro.
unidentified
That's how we do.
joe rogan
We're here to make fun.
If you can't make fun of some shit that I like, man, I like a lot of dumb shit.
brendan schaub
Too much dumb shit.
You did bring back fanny packs, though.
joe rogan
I brought them back strong.
Super strong.
brendan schaub
I won't get credit for it.
You and Crow Cop, though.
Let's be real.
joe rogan
He's European.
It's less courageous.
brendan schaub
It is, because they've been doing it forever over there.
joe rogan
But as far as the U.S.? It's me and Hulk Hogan.
brendan schaub
No, Hulk got rid of it a long time ago.
joe rogan
Okay, well, we crossed bridges.
He had it and I had it at the same time.
He just let it go a while ago.
brendan schaub
When did he let it go?
joe rogan
I bet he didn't totally let it go.
brendan schaub
No, that sex tape came and said, fuck that.
joe rogan
I bet he still got one.
brendan schaub
No, no way.
joe rogan
I bet he does.
brendan schaub
Back in the day at Gold's, guys would have them.
There'd be steroids in those.
joe rogan
They would shoot up with their little bag?
brendan schaub
Yeah, you could buy it off of them.
joe rogan
Look at that.
unidentified
The Hulkster.
brendan schaub
No, you don't have one there.
That's pretty recent.
joe rogan
Poor guy.
That guy's had a shitload of back surgeries, man.
brendan schaub
Yeah, no shit.
Would you expect it was going to happen?
unidentified
He's coming back to wrestling.
brendan schaub
He is?
unidentified
I believe so.
brendan schaub
WWE? I think I heard that, yeah.
jamie vernon
Probably for like WrestleMania appearance or something.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's amazing.
brendan schaub
And Chuck Liddell and Tito are fighting.
So what else you got?
joe rogan
Ooh, what do you think of that?
brendan schaub
Not my cup of tea, but...
joe rogan
You're gonna watch it.
brendan schaub
For sure, well...
joe rogan
I'm gonna watch it.
brendan schaub
Yeah, we'll watch it.
Might do a fight campaign for it.
joe rogan
Some people say it shouldn't happen, right?
brendan schaub
Oh, no.
See, I don't think it shouldn't happen.
I look at it more like if...
See, I think if Chuck Liddell was still an employee of the UFC getting paid $400,000 just to chill or whatever he was doing for the UFC, he would not be fighting.
I think it's more of a money play, which bums me out.
Because I think Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, what they did for the sport, should be compensated for the rest of their lives.
It bums me out they have to fight to make money.
That bums me out.
I don't know if Tito does so much, because he was very smart.
Chuck, it seems like maybe that's what's going on there.
joe rogan
But he also has been saying, you've got to wonder what...
Where this is coming from, but he has been saying that he misses it.
It was his favorite thing.
brendan schaub
Damage playing baseball.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it's different.
Like, if we're going to live forever, if we're going to live forever, I would say, yeah, definitely don't do it.
Because you're just going to keep damaging yourself.
If you're not going to live forever...
How old is Chuck now?
brendan schaub
He's 48. So let's say we're going to live to 100. Let's say Chuck lives to 100. He's halfway there.
I'm being friendly right now.
Let's say he's going to live to 100. You never know.
Today's medicine...
Oh, I have another...
What am I? I'm 35...
30 solid years left to me.
So let's say Chuck...
joe rogan
Medicine's son.
Science.
New shit.
brendan schaub
I'm big, though.
Great Danes, bro.
So let's say he lives to 100. He's basically halfway there.
Dude, at the halfway mark, fighting, it can't be healthy, man.
Imagine being 50 fighting, Joe.
And you're the exception.
You're in phenomenal shape.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I don't want to get hit.
brendan schaub
You don't want to get hit in the face.
It's not going to be pretty.
joe rogan
Not in the head, for sure.
brendan schaub
Especially if you had all those years of...
Listen, I'm not hating on it.
There's a market for it.
Do your thing.
Like I said, to me, it's more of a sad story.
I think they should be compensated...
I want them to parlay their careers like a Michael Strahan or Kobe Bryant, where there are legends and then they move on to do great things.
joe rogan
I agree.
But I also, if they wanted to compete, if it was because they wanted to compete, I wonder where it makes sense to tell them they can't or they shouldn't.
Because if they want to do it, if they both want to do it, like if they had money and they're like, so what is it about it?
Is it the motivation that bothers me?
Like what is it about a fight like that?
I think it's the motivation.
brendan schaub
You cringe a little bit, right?
joe rogan
I think it's the fact that they have a little bit, See, I think Tito did better financially.
Tito's fine.
He did really well in Bellator.
He might actually want this fight just to fight Chuck again.
brendan schaub
I think so.
I think Tito's on a different trajectory.
Correct.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, he's been fighting and doing well over the last few years.
Yeah, he's still a formidable guy.
He's a beast.
Tito's a big fella.
brendan schaub
Both great guys.
Now, I will say this.
Everyone who's fighting in these older leagues, or if Golden Boy, if that's your thing to do, like this Master League, everyone fighting that league better pray to the MMA gods.
Vitor Belfort does not enter that fucking thing, juice to the gills.
Have you seen his tits lately?
joe rogan
Yes.
He looks amazing.
brendan schaub
Fantastic.
joe rogan
I'm so happy with him.
brendan schaub
He will wheel kick the fuck.
Out of all those old dudes at the same time.
joe rogan
He really will.
brendan schaub
Dude.
I was looking at his Instagram the other day.
I was like, oh my god.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Does something happens to Vitor when he fills up with super unleaded?
brendan schaub
Dude, it's like peanut butter and jelly.
joe rogan
He's a different human, man.
brendan schaub
Let him do his roids, bro.
Like, some people don't do well with roids.
They get all red and shit.
joe rogan
He looks great.
brendan schaub
His skin's vibrant.
His tits are popping.
He's all tan.
His teeth get whiter.
joe rogan
He's doing straight testosterone.
He's not...
I mean, when he was on...
See, think about this, right?
We know for sure, we all know, absolutely 100% that people have cheated and taken steroids and got away with it.
We know that.
I know it, you know that, especially in fighting, especially when the weigh-ins were the only day you had a pee, and there was no randoms, they didn't just come by.
We know for a fact.
But when you watch someone who's just doing testosterone, and what else he's doing?
With a human growth hormone, and he's fucking gigantic now!
brendan schaub
I love that Vitor.
joe rogan
I love it too, but what you get there, it's a different thing.
Like, for Vitor, like, something happens with him, like, when they allowed him to take it, like during the Rockhold fight, and the Bisping fight, dude, his body ate it up.
It's kind of a different thing.
Because it's above board, right?
You let him do it, so he doesn't feel guilty about it.
You feel me?
brendan schaub
He's finding a way where it's still legal when he was doing it.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was doing it legally.
brendan schaub
He was doing it legally.
He got permission from the UFC to do it in the commission.
joe rogan
But if you go back before he did it, Like, did you see when he fought Sexy Yama?
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
Dude, his body didn't look nothing like that.
It looked like a welterweight.
brendan schaub
And everyone wants to go, a lot of people go, oh, he did steroids, whatever sport, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds.
You take steroids, try hitting those fucking home runs.
Everyone was doing it.
In fighting, a lot of people were doing, I'm not going to say names.
So when Jon Jones tested hot against DC, right?
Whatever he tests hot for.
If DC was doing the same stuff, would he have beat Jon?
The answer is no.
joe rogan
Well, it was a very close fight up until that head kick, right?
It was a good fight.
You really never know what could have happened.
That's the thing about high-level fighting, right?
brendan schaub
Correct.
However...
joe rogan
But however, that's what happened, so we have to judge it based on that.
brendan schaub
If they were taking the same stuff, whatever you want to say John took, but if DC was saying, do you think the outcome would have been any different?
My answer is no.
joe rogan
If they were taking the same stuff...
See, the John thing, we've gone over this, but we probably should go over this again, if anybody doesn't know the actual numbers.
He tested negative, then he tested positive for a minuscule amount.
It was really small.
And then he tested negative again.
So whatever happened, happened in a very short window, and it was an incredibly small amount of whatever that stuff was.
brendan schaub
Some call it micro-dosing.
joe rogan
Yeah, it could be that, right?
unidentified
Maybe.
brendan schaub
We don't know, really.
joe rogan
Yeah.
The thing about it is that stuff is supposed to stay in your system for a long time.
It would be a stupid thing to take because supposedly it's in your system for weeks.
brendan schaub
But we don't know.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Also, the micro-dosing shit is real, folks.
That's real.
I mean, that's what they were doing in baseball.
They were taking testosterone gummy bears and they would only last like three or four hours and your body would metabolize them.
brendan schaub
They said A-Rod would eat them during the games.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And then by the time the game was over, it's out of the system.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And baseball.
That was testing baseball players.
It was the dumbest shit.
But it was one of those weird American things.
unidentified
Like everybody's like, I don't want my fucking athletes cheating.
joe rogan
But if we had the Russians' attitude about this...
Just be cool, man.
I mean, what is it like?
How do the Russians feel about that documentary Icarus where that guy came on and claimed that all the Russian athletes were on steroids?
brendan schaub
They don't even address it.
They're like, yeah, no shit, buddy.
Anyways.
joe rogan
Whatever, let it go.
unidentified
Whatever, bro.
brendan schaub
Get over it, man.
joe rogan
Kill a few whistleblowers over here.
Don't mind us.
brendan schaub
Yeah, come over here.
Let me know how it works out for you.
joe rogan
I wonder.
brendan schaub
But the stuff with steroids, I think we put too much...
We almost put too much emphasis on the steroids.
Don't get me wrong, it fucking helps and helps a lot of guys.
But if everyone was on the same thing, Jon Jones would still be the greatest all time.
He'd still be defeated.
Brock Lesnar would still be Brock Lesnar.
I think Kane would still be Kane.
Steve Bates would still be...
I think everything would be the exact same.
I've got to be serious here, man.
joe rogan
I think you're right if everybody was on.
The results would be the same.
If everybody was on.
The problem is some people like Vitor, his body loves it.
brendan schaub
He's made for it.
joe rogan
Yeah, his body's made for TRT replacement.
It's crazy.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
So, I mean, good luck.
Good luck.
Good luck with that.
Now that he's in the Wild West of Brazil and he's looking for something.
On his Instagram, he finds his fan and he's like, how long you been a fan?
He's all, since the beginning, bro!
He's like, you want to see me fighting?
He goes, let's do it.
Like, gives him a wink.
I'm like, yeah.
Who's going to sign up to fight that fucking monster?
joe rogan
But here's the thing.
How does he get out of his contract?
Does UFC still have him under contract or did he retire?
brendan schaub
He retired, but just because you retired, and I know because I retired, your contract isn't voided, it's frozen.
They're very smart.
But it's Vitor Belfort.
I highly doubt all he's done for the UFC. I guarantee you could talk to Dana would let him go, I'd assume.
joe rogan
Yeah, that would be nice if they did.
brendan schaub
The scary thing about Chuck is Dana, who's obviously very close with Chuck for a long time.
I don't know if they're so close anymore.
Dana, this is Dana going, says, I don't think he should be fighting.
Like, I don't want to see him fight again.
I sure as fuck wouldn't let him fight here.
I hope he stops.
And when someone close to the situation says that, I'm like, oh, God.
But he's going to do what he's going to do.
joe rogan
Chuck versus Vitor was one of the first fights I ever called.
Completed his contract with the UFC last month in a loss to Liotta Machida.
But it doesn't mean he's retiring.
The Phenom took to social media to hint at return and asked fans who they would like to see him fight next.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's good then.
joe rogan
As usual, Frito, though, his choices were a bit curious.
Who's he asking to fight?
Vanderlei?
brendan schaub
He asked the fans, so he said Vanderlei, Chuck, Tito, Bisping, or Hendo.
Well, Hendo and Bisping's not happening.
Chuck, Tito, or Vanderlei.
You tell me you wouldn't watch Vanderlei, Vitor, and Bellator?
joe rogan
I would watch that.
What if, imagine if Tito and Chuck fight, and Chuck wins.
Chuck wants to fight again.
He wants to fight Vitor again.
He beat Vitor in UFC 37 and a half.
brendan schaub
And now, it's like we're back to the future.
I would text Chuck, like, please don't fight Vitor.
He's a fucking...
I feel like it's different with Vitor.
joe rogan
But wait a minute.
We don't know.
Chuck was clean.
How about get Chuck on the super sauce?
brendan schaub
The ultimate ice man?
unidentified
Come on, son.
joe rogan
Stop fucking around.
brendan schaub
Stop fucking around, bro.
joe rogan
You're 48 years old, son.
unidentified
That's true.
joe rogan
You can't be eating mangoes and dates and fucking almond butter and think you're going to compete with a sauced up Vitor.
brendan schaub
I didn't think of that.
joe rogan
Come on, golden boy.
brendan schaub
Yeah, you get that fucking...
joe rogan
Yeah, you can't fuck with any legitimate organizations.
brendan schaub
No, why would you?
joe rogan
All these organizations that want to sneak up on you in the middle of the night and test your pee.
unidentified
Oh, come on.
joe rogan
Nah, player.
brendan schaub
Nah, come on, Golden Snitch.
Take a break.
How about there's guys like Josh Barnett, and even Liotto said this.
this goes with sign with the UFC because of USADA and obviously they've all been busted previously so they have a little different you know agreement with them but they're saying listen well Josh Barnett was not busted by Nowitzki right they came out he never took anything but he lost a year of his career yeah I don't understand the Josh Barnett case I I'd like to have him explain it, because it sounds like what I've read sounds like he got fucked.
No, he did.
joe rogan
They even admit it.
They admit it?
brendan schaub
They know for a fact he did not, right?
They've had other guys, right?
Like the Dirty Bird.
What's his name?
joe rogan
Tim Means.
brendan schaub
Tim Means.
They came out that are bad.
joe rogan
Over the counter.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's all good, right?
joe rogan
It took some protein powder that was slightly contaminated.
brendan schaub
And that came out as true.
With Josh Barnett, it took a year to figure this out.
And then they go, my bad, bro.
Yeah, yeah, I know you missed a year and you're an older fighter and it's a year of not getting paid.
My bad.
You're welcome back now.
And Barnett's going, fuck this, man.
I'm out.
joe rogan
Is that really what they did?
brendan schaub
I promise you that's what they did.
joe rogan
See, that seems to me to be a case where you've made an error that you should compensate that fighter.
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying.
He should be fully compensated.
joe rogan
You can't force a guy if you made the mistake.
That's like, I mean, I'm not a business person, but if I was a business person, I'd be like, well, this is a clear case of someone owing someone money because you fucked up.
brendan schaub
But what you saw, I was going to say, it was an investigation.
It took us that long to get to the bottom of it.
That's the process.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they were wrong, right?
So if they were wrong, so all their investigation stuff they did that took so long to get to the bottom of, you accused a guy who's innocent.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but see, don't they say potentially flagged for PDs, right?
They don't say what you're flagged for, and then it goes into investigation.
But they don't say he suspended or he tested positive for this.
They say potentially flagged, and then there's an investigation.
Then it took a year to figure that out.
joe rogan
I think that the USADA, especially under the whatever...
Guidelines that they had coming in here had a lot to work with, right?
There's a lot of fighters You got to figure out who's you got to test this one more tonight, so I mean it must be crazy Must be a nightmare.
brendan schaub
I'm not saying it's an easy job.
joe rogan
I I think it's too much a very hard job I think it is too much to this 500 fighters on roster but a legend like Josh Barnett he deserves respect and That's the youngest ever heavyweight champion.
brendan schaub
Agreed, Joe, and he's one of my favorite fighters and he's probably one of the smartest men they ever grace the octagon.
He's such a smart guy.
joe rogan
Very, very smart guy.
brendan schaub
And I love Josh Barnett.
However, if you're Nowitzki and you look at the history of Josh Barnett, there's a reason to have skeptical golden snitch eyes on him because he's tested positive previously.
joe rogan
Right.
brendan schaub
That's what's going on.
joe rogan
I see what you're saying.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
You know what I'm saying?
Like, if you have a track record, like, I'm gonna test over him a tad more, Vitor a tad more than Stipe or DC. How dare you?
Like, I just look at DC and be like, nah, you're good.
joe rogan
How about super unleaded DC? DC's 40 years old, son.
DC's 40 years old on the natch with just some powerful fucking Herculean genetics.
Get him on that super sauce, kid.
bro get him on that Vitor shit that gives you veins in your teeth Dude when he was there was a time when Vitor was they were had to face off with him and Rockhold and It was when he was doing the Mohawk thing.
brendan schaub
Dude, it looked like he had a stingray hanging off the back of his neck.
It looked like a fucking stingray.
His traps were like this.
joe rogan
He looked so scary, dude.
And this was even at the weigh-ins, man.
This was when the weigh-ins were the real weigh-ins.
Yes.
Rockhold told me, he looked right at him, he's like, what the fuck is this guy on?
brendan schaub
They're just Winstral coming out of his eyeballs.
Just fucking tears of Winstral.
joe rogan
It was just testosterone.
brendan schaub
It was just whatever they let him take.
joe rogan
He was on other things too?
brendan schaub
Oh my god.
I don't know what he was on.
joe rogan
It's hard to tell from that picture because he's an actual 185 right there.
He's very, very deflated.
It's amazing the difference between some guys, like when they weigh in, like Yoel, when he weighs in at 185, he still looks super ridiculous, uber jacked at 185. You can't believe he only weighs 185 when he gets a big scale.
But then he fucking whoop!
I mean, he just puts all that meat back on.
brendan schaub
Your boy Whitaker was like, that motherfucker's...
joe rogan
Yeah.
He said it was magic.
brendan schaub
He's like, it's magic.
See that man go from that to that?
He goes, obviously, you find him before, and he's aging, and this time he's even harder.
He's like, something's up there, son.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Here's the thing.
Maybe.
But you know what else may be?
Maybe crazy Cuban genetics.
I think that shit's real.
brendan schaub
Could be crazy Cuban genetics.
How much more impressive?
Whatever he's on.
Let's say he's on something, Whitaker beat him twice.
There should not be a third fight.
joe rogan
I don't think this decision was just in the second fight.
brendan schaub
No, you're crazy.
joe rogan
I think there should have been 10-8s.
brendan schaub
No.
Under the new rules?
I think it should have been a draw then.
I don't think Yoel won that fight.
If you're going to give Yoel a 10-8, then that's a draw.
And I don't think they give draws out enough.
joe rogan
I don't think they do either.
brendan schaub
Because then they're forced to have that trilogy fight.
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
brendan schaub
That I'm fine with.
joe rogan
I didn't think that a decision...
I thought, like, there's too many moments in the fight where Yoel hurt Whitaker.
Like, really hurt him.
There was no moments in the fight where Whitaker really hurt Yoel.
Like, really hurt him.
Like, had him in deep trouble.
brendan schaub
That head kick, the wobble him a little bit.
joe rogan
Yeah, but man, the head kick was when...
I don't think that even fucking did much.
brendan schaub
It wobbled his legs a tad.
joe rogan
A little bit.
brendan schaub
But if you go round by round, watch that fight a bunch, I think...
joe rogan
That actually was a good...
He landed with the foot, right?
Right in the face?
Top of the head?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
But also, you go round by round, just stylistically, I had Whitaker winning 3-2, and I went, alright, let's say I gave UL when he fucked him up, I think it was the 4th or 5th.
joe rogan
I think it was both rounds, he had him in trouble.
brendan schaub
But I gave one a 10-9 to UL, and if you give a 10-8, it would still be a draw.
joe rogan
Right.
brendan schaub
Which I'm fine with.
joe rogan
Which makes more sense to me.
It's just people have a hard time with decisions when the guy at the end of the fight is fucking the guy up.
Now obviously this is coming from someone who's a professional commentator, so I understand this is a ridiculous argument.
But the ridiculous argument is if we're gonna judge what a fight is.
We all know if you're watching a fight fight, right?
If you and I are in a fight and you're on top of me beating the shit out of me In the last few seconds when the cops come in.
That doesn't matter.
If I ran around this room and kicked your legs for the first two minutes, and then you got on top of me and were beating the fuck out of me for the last 20 seconds when the cops came...
brendan schaub
You're talking prison rules, son.
joe rogan
You won the fight, right?
brendan schaub
You won the fight in the streets.
unidentified
But that's a fight.
brendan schaub
But as a professional sport...
joe rogan
I understand, but this is a professional sport that's kind of a fight.
brendan schaub
It's not just a boxer.
So in boxing, if I win the first eight rounds, right, and you're whooping my ass, 9, 10, 11, 12, those first eight, what do we do?
joe rogan
There it is.
No, it's a real good point, dude.
It's a real good point.
But the idea is...
See, that didn't hardly do anything.
brendan schaub
Oh, bro, he was on wobbled Cuban Street.
joe rogan
But he was already tired, dude.
Look how wobbly he is already there.
brendan schaub
How about the kicks by fucking Whitaker, too?
joe rogan
Whitaker's so good, dude.
And the fact that he fought that fight, most of it, with a fucking broken hand.
brendan schaub
He beat him with one hand.
He beat him with one leg the first fight.
Come on.
No, he's phenomenal.
joe rogan
He threw that hand, too.
brendan schaub
No, he was in trouble, for sure.
joe rogan
A couple times.
brendan schaub
I had one round of 10-8, so that'd be a draw.
joe rogan
See this right here?
This is a 10-8, man.
This is a 10-8.
brendan schaub
Again, even if you give a 10-8, it should be a draw then.
He wouldn't win the fight.
joe rogan
Okay.
brendan schaub
I'm with you on a draw.
joe rogan
Two guys are fighting.
It's a close round, but one guy drops him and has him hurt.
Everything up into that moment is close.
I think that's still a 10-8.
brendan schaub
Geeesh, damn, you're tossing 10-8s.
joe rogan
I think 10-8s, it's got to be...
The difference is someone almost got finished.
This is an almost-got-finished moment.
The legs go, the person falls, the guy gets on top, the guard's pounding him.
brendan schaub
See, I don't have a problem with 10-9.
I think it has to be a clear fucking...
Bully beatdown for a 10-8 round.
joe rogan
I think that should be a 10-7.
I think we should make this shit make sense.
brendan schaub
10-7 game?
I mean, fuck it.
Why are you fighting?
If you're a 10-7, I'm like, fuck sakes, bro.
joe rogan
I really feel like this scorecard, this 10-point must system is silly.
brendan schaub
The whole thing's silly.
joe rogan
Silly.
brendan schaub
The judging.
joe rogan
But the silliness.
Yeah, you're right.
brendan schaub
We've kicked that fucking horse.
joe rogan
But the numbers, like, why do we need 10 points?
Just because boxing always had 10 points?
They're only using their hands.
They're not even using their elbows.
You know, just think about all the different things.
Like, what's worth more?
Is a jab worth more than an elbow?
brendan schaub
Oh, there's all, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, what's worth more?
A guillotine choke that you get out of?
How many points do you get for that?
We've got to figure that out, man.
brendan schaub
But it's also predicated off styles, too, because what happens if, let's say I'm Brian Ortega.
Let's take Brian Ortega and Max Hallway.
And Max Hallway on the feet, jabbing, good distance control, and Brian really can't get it going, but then he pulls guard.
He pulls guard, and he's fucking throwing arm bar, triangle, leg lock, and Max is kind of defending, but he's in trouble.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
They're not giving that to Brian down there.
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
They don't know shit about the ground game.
They look at Max on top and go, well, when he was on the feet, he landed more jabs.
Let's give it to fucking Max.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's moments where a regular guy is on his back and they're right.
Like a guy who doesn't have a good guard or a guy who just tries to hang on until the referee pulls him off.
But then there's some dudes who have their guard is like the scariest place to be.
brendan schaub
You gotta know what you're dealing with.
You gotta know the premises.
joe rogan
Do you remember that kid, Paul Sass?
brendan schaub
Fuck yeah.
joe rogan
Won so many fights by triangle, man.
It was ridiculous.
You'd see that guy fight off of his back and be like, whoa!
He's moving quick!
He was closing shit up quick.
Dudes didn't know what the fuck was happening and all of a sudden they're jacked and triangled.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about that?
Max Holloway, Brian Ortega fight.
joe rogan
That's a great fight.
brendan schaub
Greatest fight at 45 since Conor and Aldo.
joe rogan
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.
brendan schaub
It's such a dangerous fight for Max.
joe rogan
It's a dangerous fight for both guys.
I mean, this is the first...
Well, for Ortega, it's not his first time in world-class territory, right?
He had Cub and he had Frankie.
He won both of them in spectacular fashion.
brendan schaub
Finish Frankie.
Never been done before.
joe rogan
Never been done before.
But the crazy thing, I thought, just as crazy, maybe more crazy, was the way he finished Cub.
He almost got Cub in the first round.
Cub is a real Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt.
And I know that Max finished Cub as well, but Cub was hurt in that fight.
I think he had either a broken jaw or...
brendan schaub
Yeah, he went into the fight injured, yeah?
joe rogan
Something was fucked up.
Something went real bad during the fight.
Anyway, all credit to Max.
He did finish him.
But it was the way...
When they went to the ground, Ortega locked up that darts at the end of the first round.
unidentified
I was like, Jesus, this is tight.
joe rogan
This was tight, man.
When they went to the ground and when he was cinching it up and then the buzzer went off, I was like, yeah, that fight's over.
Tight fucking...
brendan schaub
And then he did the exact same thing again.
He went, oh, cool, cool.
joe rogan
He just knew he could do it.
The thing is, his jiu-jitsu is at such a fucking high level.
He's so dangerous.
brendan schaub
You can't really train for it either.
Just being in the room with Ortega, it's...
You've seen triangles.
You've seen arm bars.
The way he sets up and it's so explosive and the angles he hits, you can't bring anyone in to duplicate that.
joe rogan
It's amazing.
brendan schaub
It's so different.
And what's crazy about Brian is his story.
He's a guy who's not going to go in there and talk shit.
He comes from a super humble background.
And his demeanor inside that octagon, even earlier in his UFC career, it was not going well for him.
He's finished all fighters, so he found some way to get it done.
And I think it comes from growing up in that rough background, man.
It doesn't fluster him.
He's like, I just, I need something.
He never gives up.
He's like, something's going to come.
Something's going to come.
And I think that's huge in this Max Holloway fight because Max distant control is fucking second to none, man.
It's going to be tough for Brian to get in there.
I think once Brian can get an underhook, I think we're going to see him jump to half guard, something like that.
It's going to be interesting, man.
joe rogan
It's going to be interesting to see if Bryan can turn into a jiu-jitsu match.
But the thing about Bryan is he's so comfortable with his hands, man.
brendan schaub
He's getting more comfortable, for sure.
And doesn't have a super team.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's amazing.
But Max Holloway, dude, when I saw the second fight with Aldo, the second fight with Aldo, there were some moments in that fight where I was like, Jesus.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's one of my favorites.
joe rogan
This dude's on another level, but he was overwhelming Aldo like he went into that fight You know and the basically when they announced the this is where his phrase Where it started to hit me it is what it is.
brendan schaub
You know I Love it.
joe rogan
That was his attitude to go fight an absolute future Hall of Famer who was thought to be the greatest featherweight of all time a guy who you know think about some of his Spectacular chaos of Chad Mendes and I mean he was a monster when he was young and How about when the Cub Swanson flying knee in WEC? Dude, he was a beast.
And for him to go into that fight and be like, it is what it is.
Like, it is what it is.
brendan schaub
The fuck's that mean?
joe rogan
And he just smashed him.
brendan schaub
Just smashed him.
Well, how about when he was going to fight fucking Khabib?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
And he would have...
brendan schaub
If they didn't pull him off...
joe rogan
Yeah, if the commission didn't pull him off the weight cut...
He would have fought Khabib on how many days notice?
brendan schaub
What was that?
Eight days?
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Something like that.
brendan schaub
Something fucking crazy.
That's how much of a badass he is.
joe rogan
Super short notice.
brendan schaub
I also think the reason why I love this fight and so good for the UFC, especially just for the both of them, is Max and Bryan are going to fight multiple times.
I think this is going to become a cool rivalry.
We're going to see him go from 45. Whoever wins this, I don't really care who.
I love both those men.
I fucking love both those guys.
Whoever wins, I think eventually they're both huge for the weight class.
And Max is younger than Brian.
They're going to go to 55. Even Max's team goes, he should be a 55er.
joe rogan
He's fucking huge for 45. Well, you think about how much weight he had to lose to get to 55. I know.
They pulled him off the weight cut to 55, which is crazy.
brendan schaub
55, there's some fight for him.
But I think, and this is great for fighters, man, like with Aldo.
He was never that big until Conor came, right?
And there's this rivalry.
DC, Jon Jones.
Nate Diaz, Conor.
Ali, Frazier.
Misha, Ronda.
Holly, Ronda.
There's all this stuff starting to happen.
And then people fucking tune in.
So I think for Bryan and Max, they don't need to talk any shit.
They just keep being humble.
Their skills speak for themselves.
But people want to tune in for that.
And you're going to get a bunch of fights out of these guys, man.
joe rogan
I think you're probably right.
brendan schaub
My dick's hard about it.
I know.
I love it, man.
I get goosebumps talking about those fucking two.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're pretty badass.
It's nice to see just any time you have a guy who's defending his title and you have a guy who you legitimately think could be a champion.
And you see, look, you look at the two of them.
Like, I look at that fight and I go, I don't know.
I don't know what's going to happen.
brendan schaub
I don't either.
joe rogan
It just depends.
brendan schaub
If Max makes one mistake, Brian capitalized on it.
Brian's so dangerous.
joe rogan
So dangerous.
brendan schaub
What's interesting to me is when I first met Brian years ago and he was in the gym, remember he was mopping mats and just doing his thing and Henner would bring him on the road.
He even goes on the road now with Henner and they teach cops their tactical stuff and they do these seminars and he was like Henner's little guy.
And I always took him serious because jiu-jitsu was ridiculous and he would train with me and all this stuff.
But I never thought...
Best in the world!
You know what I mean?
Never!
joe rogan
I know!
Because you knew him!
brendan schaub
Yeah, I'm like, what's up, man?
When they told me, because I called him for a fight, and then they go, dude, UFC's coming, calling around.
I go, not yet.
You know, I'm cautious, Larry.
I'm like, no, no, no, no.
Please, he has to work on a stand-up.
Don't fucking let him do it, man.
And then Henry's like, dude, he wants to do it.
And then fucking, I was way off, that motherfucker.
joe rogan
He got good with his hands fucking fast.
brendan schaub
He steps up the level of competition, man.
joe rogan
Well, he definitely does, but it's also...
He's so good at jiu-jitsu that he just took whatever that focus is that got him so good at jiu-jitsu and applied it to striking.
And now he's just a winner.
He knows how to win.
You know what I mean?
He knows how to put shit together.
When he landed that uppercut on Frankie, and I was like, Jesus...
brendan schaub
Vicious.
joe rogan
Like, Frankie's a hard guy to fucking hit clean.
brendan schaub
What?
Impossible.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Unless you're Gray Maynard.
It's a fucking nightmare.
joe rogan
Well, and even Gray Maynard, he came back and won that fight.
brendan schaub
Which was insane.
joe rogan
Which is insane.
Draw in the first fight, KOs him in the second fight.
Those fights were fucking chaos, man.
brendan schaub
Some of the best.
joe rogan
But the fact that Ortega took him out, I mean, some people say, well, maybe Frankie's at the end of his rope.
He's deep into his 30s now.
What is he, 36?
brendan schaub
Something like that, right?
36, 34. Either way, though, it's Frankie Edgar.
joe rogan
Either way, it's Frankie Edgar.
Yeah.
And then he went on to beat Cub Swanson, what, four weeks later or some shit?
brendan schaub
He's like, no, I'll do that in New Jersey.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
36?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Just phenomenal conditioning.
brendan schaub
Dude, and then also on this card, you got DC fucking Stipe.
To me, it's like the first real, like we're in the super fight era.
To me, it's like the first real, real super fight.
Like GSP bids me.
I was like, that's cool.
That's a thick ass GSP. I guess that's super fight.
But DC Stipe is a fucking real super fight.
joe rogan
That's a real super fight.
brendan schaub
I love it, man.
joe rogan
You know what I'm looking forward to almost as much?
brendan schaub
Francis, Black Beast.
joe rogan
That's right, son.
Derek Lewis, Francis Ngannou.
unidentified
Woo!
brendan schaub
I know everyone thinks it's going to be a first-round knockout and they're just going to throw Kasha in the wind.
I think Derek Lewis double-legs him, either in the first round or second round, and beats him via TKO. Really?
Yeah.
joe rogan
Damn!
How good is Derek's wrestling?
brendan schaub
I mean, he's an explosive dude and he used to play football.
You know?
See, I think people are making a mistake going, oh, Derek's just going to go on there, Francis is going to go on there, fucking plant their feet and just fucking chuck the bombs.
I think you're wrong, man.
I think people think that are wrong.
I think Derek's going to mix it up.
If he's smart, I just, I think what I would do if I was them and what Derek and his background and Francis working on stuff, I think Derek's going to shoot.
Wow.
The crowd's gonna boo, but Derrick's gonna shoot, and then his ground pound is fucking nasty.
joe rogan
I don't know if the crowd will boo.
If it's a good crowd, a crowd that understands the danger of Francis on his back, and Derrick on top, Derrick with big KO power, stop Travis Brown, I bet they might be thinking, oh shit, this is gonna get crazy.
brendan schaub
Hopefully.
joe rogan
Because it's not like if Derrick takes you down, he's just gonna hold on to you.
He's gonna try to kill you.
brendan schaub
He's not gonna submit you.
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
He's gonna punch you with the right in the fucking face.
joe rogan
That Travis Brown TKO, or a KO rather, was ruthless.
brendan schaub
It's one of the worst ones.
Bisping, Dan Hendo, and then that one for me.
It's like, you don't want to see that replay.
joe rogan
Yeah, that was a rough one.
brendan schaub
That was a tough one.
joe rogan
And Ganu, man, you gotta get to him first.
The thing about getting to him is you're running into hammers.
You gotta get to him.
brendan schaub
You gotta stay back and then the cardio gets to him.
joe rogan
We only saw him tired once, but it was a big once.
brendan schaub
We've only seen him out of the first round once, right?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Stipe figured it out.
brendan schaub
That's also Stipe.
I get friends with a lot of shit, but that's fucking Stipe.
He's the best.
The most accomplished heavyweight of all time.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, you have to look at him, his accomplishments.
You look at the guys that he stopped and the guys he defended his title.
He stopped.
Fabricio wins the title.
Stops Alistair.
Stops Junior Dos Santos.
brendan schaub
The only reason why Stipe doesn't get enough credit as he should is because all of these guys are a step past their prime, right?
Like, to me...
Yeah.
I love Stipe.
To me, what's more impressive, when Kane beat JDS, that was prime JDS who was a motherfucker.
joe rogan
Motherfucker.
brendan schaub
And Kane put his fucking head right in the middle of his chest and did work after getting knocked out.
joe rogan
In the first round on Fox in the biggest fight in MMA history.
brendan schaub
That was insane.
joe rogan
Insane.
brendan schaub
Insane.
To me, that's a little more impressive than when Stipe beat JDS. That's JDS after...
An ass whooping by Kane.
Rounds.
joe rogan
It is more impressive.
brendan schaub
Ten rounds of an ass whooping, basically.
joe rogan
What's almost as impressive is surviving that first round against Francis.
I don't know who would have survived.
There's not a lot of guys that would have survived that round the way Stipe did.
D.C. D.C.? Man, I wonder.
brendan schaub
He ate that fucking punch from Anthony Rumble Johnson.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
How about that kick?
brendan schaub
And popped the fuck back up.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Oh, God.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
But John KO'd him.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's John Jones.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
John Jones beats everyone we're talking about.
joe rogan
Maybe.
See, the thing about Francis, I'm very curious to see what he looks like.
brendan schaub
How dare you?
joe rogan
No, no, that's not what I'm saying.
I'm very curious to see what he looks like in this next fight.
We're going to find a lot about whether or not he's able to correct mistakes, whether his conditioning is just one of those things with all that fast twitch muscle fiber, whether he's not going to be able to go five rounds hard.
brendan schaub
I don't think he's going to turn into fucking Nate Diaz or something like that.
I think it might be a tad better.
The way he can get better is not using all his energy on power punches.
So maybe it's more of an experience thing.
But with Derek Lewis, he also peddled to the metal and hits hard as fuck, too.
joe rogan
He does.
brendan schaub
And he's been in some serious trouble.
That Travis Brown fight, he was in serious fucking trouble, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a warrior, for sure.
I mean, that guy has been in some crazy-ass fucking fights.
Crazy fights.
He's dangerous.
brendan schaub
Both are super dangerous.
joe rogan
I mean, he wants that fight, too.
Derrick Lewis is asking for that fight.
brendan schaub
They both wanted it.
They both wanted that fight.
joe rogan
This is gonna be crazy.
brendan schaub
Super crazy.
I think the craziest thing on the card to me is how many people are riding off DC. He's the underdog against Stipe.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I have DC beating him, man.
joe rogan
Do you?
brendan schaub
Yeah, I know you hate picks, but when I break down the fight, I look at what that terrible picture makes Stipe look super small and fucking DC look giant.
unidentified
Yeah, that's crazy.
brendan schaub
Look how small Stipe looks.
joe rogan
DC looks like he's a fucking gigantic person.
brendan schaub
He looks like Brock Lesnar.
joe rogan
Stipe looks like DJ Dillashaw.
brendan schaub
What are they doing?
joe rogan
Stipe looks like a bantamweight.
brendan schaub
It's hilarious.
joe rogan
Yeah, one says 76 inches and one says 71 inches.
brendan schaub
No, that bothers me, man.
The reach, the height, because DC's dealt with that his entire career.
Gustafin, Jon Jones, those guys had even bigger reaches.
joe rogan
I think also one thing to take into consideration is Stipe doesn't throw a lot of kicks.
He's not a big kicker.
brendan schaub
Bingo, sir.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's more of a boxer.
And, you know, DC is also going to be able to get under him easier than any guy he's ever fought before.
I mean, DC's, what, 5'11"?
Is he about 5'11"?
If that, yeah.
He has top of the food chain wrestling, man.
Remember what he did to Henderson?
Barnett!
Launched Barnett in the air.
Launched him in the air.
Slammed him.
Barnett's a big fella.
Yeah, and can grapple his fucking ass off.
And DC took him for a ride, son.
But the Henderson fight was the most impressive to me.
Because Henderson, even though he's smaller than DC, he's a fucking stud.
And he was an Olympic silver medalist himself.
And DC just ragged.
brendan schaub
Some people discredit DC a little bit when they go, when he won the Grand Prix in Strikeforce, that was a different time.
Those heavyweights were older and the games evolved.
While I look at Stipe, I'm like, heavyweights haven't really evolved that much, man.
You don't see a guy throwing a lot of kicks and mixing up wrestling and jiu-jitsu.
You look at Stipe's game, it's boxing or wrestling.
That's very similar to what DC's used to beating.
So the times when he's in trouble is a guy like Jon Jones who fucking mixes up and he's a fucking nightmare.
joe rogan
But when you're just boxing...
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying.
When DC goes in a fight and you're just boxing or wrestling, the reason why DC's going to go down as one of the greatest of all time is his mental game, bro.
He's so fucking...
His fucking fight IQ's crazy.
joe rogan
Yeah.
He's tough as shit.
And, you know, if you look...
Who else does it the way John does, where they're really good at everything?
They win by submission, they win by knockout, they win by, you know...
brendan schaub
Mighty Mouse?
You'd have to go to a lighter weight?
joe rogan
Those are the two, right?
Because even Kane, Kane would do Muay Thai, and Kane would for sure wrestle in ground and pound, but he never really submitted anybody.
brendan schaub
No, Kane's thing was wrestling...
joe rogan
Just smash you.
brendan schaub
Yes, smash you.
Outwork you.
joe rogan
Yeah, outwork you.
Get you exhausted to the point where you never even believed you could be that hard.
brendan schaub
Embrace the grind.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Which DC has been training with Kane for this fight.
joe rogan
Is Kane back now?
Is he 100% training?
brendan schaub
Yeah, he's helping him.
joe rogan
Wow.
brendan schaub
So when I look at that, I go, alright, Kane's style is almost identical to fucking Stipe's, but Stipe has a little more power.
As far as cardio, wrestling, Kane's better at those things, man.
joe rogan
Well, Kane was better than anybody that ever lived for like two years.
Nightmare.
Yeah, and he just got injured so many times.
There were so many injuries with him.
But when you look at what he was able to do with real fucking tough guys, just break them down.
Ridiculous, man.
Real tough guys.
But, you know, he's had shoulder surgery, back surgery, knee surgery.
I mean, after a while, everything was just given out because of the force of his will and his workouts are so fucking tough.
Those guys at AKA, you know, like Dana was giving them a hard time at one point in time saying something about, you know, that they're always getting hurt.
brendan schaub
They win.
joe rogan
But that's how you get killers like Kane.
To get a guy that's got that kind of mind, he's used to being in that horrible misery of trying to break someone.
He's used to it.
Does it all the time.
brendan schaub
So does DC. They all do it all the time.
And then DC went, oh, I'll go there and train.
And remember, DC, before he went there, he trained with us in Denver.
He didn't...
He wasn't that good.
You know, Lofty's wrestling was ridiculous, but he moved there, and then he just followed suit.
Then you got John Fitch, you got Koscheck, you got fucking Khabib.
joe rogan
Khabib.
Luke Rockhold.
brendan schaub
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
When Rockhold gets people on the ground, smashes him.
When he got Weidman on the ground, Weidman was stuck under a building.
Same thing with Liotta Machida.
You look at him and you go, oh, David Branch, same thing.
unidentified
Black belt.
joe rogan
Gets you down and his fucking top game is just murderous.
It's because of who he's training with.
He's training with those guys.
brendan schaub
I have friends who watch him train down in Florida and they were just saying his jiu-jitsu.
They wouldn't give me names.
They said world-class jiu-jitsu guy.
He's fucking up, Roland.
Like just destroying.
joe rogan
No, he's a nightmare, man.
He's a freak athlete.
He's strong and he's long.
He's got like long leverage, but he's also got physical strength.
brendan schaub
He was supposed to fight Gustvin until he hurt his leg.
What happened to his leg?
He got a huge gash in it.
He had staples.
I think he posted it.
It looked fucking terrible.
joe rogan
That would be an interesting thing.
brendan schaub
Now you've got Gustvin and Volkan.
No time.
No time, son.
joe rogan
So you think Stipe and DC goes to DC by decision?
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
Think he out-wrestles him?
brendan schaub
I just think he out-works him.
I think he out-works him.
And I don't think it's a classic fight.
I just think hopefully more people appreciate DC after this.
I look at both of them.
They both have the embrace the grind thing.
As long as DC can avoid that big power punch early on, he's gonna be fine.
And he's so smart, man.
joe rogan
Well, I definitely think he's really smart, but I also think that Stipe is a really good striker.
And he's a bigger guy, and he's got a long reach, and he's probably one of the best heavyweight strikers that DC's ever fought.
He's got real one-punch knockout power at heavyweight.
He throws clean shots.
He doesn't have any fat in his punches.
He'll stand here like this and drop one in on you.
He's got a chin.
He's tough as fuck.
He loves being champion.
He might have a lot to prove here.
He doesn't throw a lot of kicks, but it doesn't mean he can't.
He can throw them if he wants to.
If he thinks that's part of the strategy and he wants to throw head kicks.
brendan schaub
It'd be cool to see.
joe rogan
Have you seen him kick?
brendan schaub
Yeah, I have.
joe rogan
He can kick.
brendan schaub
He can kick.
It's the difference between kicking and practicing and pulling off against a world-class guy like DC. But DC has tendencies, man.
That's why Jon Jones goes, I'm going to knock him out by head kick.
Because if you look at the video, DC's here.
He's down there, man.
He's susceptible to it.
So that's why he sees it.
joe rogan
Did John fake a right hand and then throw that left high kick?
brendan schaub
He was setting it up.
He was throwing to the body, throwing the body, yeah, and then threw it out, and then you see DC go over and then just whack!
joe rogan
Yeah.
Let's see if you can find that clip of John Jones KOing DC. Here it is.
brendan schaub
Powerful, Jamie.
joe rogan
Oh man, just landed it perfect.
Let me see that one more time.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
You know what's interesting about this?
joe rogan
Sorry, go back to the beginning.
Watch this.
Dude, that was beautiful.
The way he did that.
brendan schaub
God, I hope John comes back.
joe rogan
It was beautiful.
There was like no fat in that at all, man.
It was beautiful.
brendan schaub
Boom, boom, boom.
Think how good DC is for him to do that.
joe rogan
Amazing.
brendan schaub
Ridiculous, man.
joe rogan
He smashed him, dude.
Look at this.
brendan schaub
So ridiculous.
joe rogan
Damn.
He took a couple extra shots there that he didn't need to take.
brendan schaub
Well, there's a lot of bad blood there.
Now they're even going back at it on Twitter.
joe rogan
John Jones.
brendan schaub
Here's the perfect case scenario.
If you're Scrooge McDuck and you're sitting down and you're looking at the UFC roadmap, you're like, we love Stipe.
He's been a great champion.
But if they could plan it like you're fucking Vince McMahon in WWE, you want DC to win, and then John to come back, and at heavyweight, you have DC-John Jones fighting for a world title at heavyweight.
And then you have Brock going, I got next!
Wait, in the back going, I got next!
Q-Q-Q-Q! Ratings, ratings, ratings, ratings, ratings, ratings.
Going snitch, take a hike.
joe rogan
I like it.
brendan schaub
Let that sink in.
joe rogan
Another one is, what if John's suspension lasts longer than we think?
We're assuming that John's going to get a suspension and he's going to be able to come back fairly soon.
brendan schaub
Don't be the no fun, please.
joe rogan
Well, what if Brock comes in and Brock fights the winner of DC and Stipe?
Let's just say DC wins.
brendan schaub
I'll take it.
joe rogan
Okay, and DC could beat Brock.
brendan schaub
That's an interesting fight.
joe rogan
DC vs.
Brock is an interesting fight.
brendan schaub
It's a great fight.
joe rogan
Brock's got hands as big as his table.
brendan schaub
And he can wrestle his ass off.
joe rogan
He can wrestle his ass off.
The question is, can he do it clean at his age?
Because he took like 12 different tests.
brendan schaub
What's this clean talk, bro?
We'll figure it out.
Just like the last one.
joe rogan
I think if the UFC wants to make that paper, you've got to tell USADA to scram.
brendan schaub
Get out of the picture for this one.
unidentified
Hey, go grab a cup of coffee.
brendan schaub
It's Brock and John.
Go grab a fucking cup of coffee.
joe rogan
No one's gonna ever let that happen.
We're talking trash.
This is nonsense talk.
brendan schaub
You're crazy if you think USADA is all clean like the U.S. government or some shit.
joe rogan
What are you saying?
First of all, you think the U.S. government is clean?
I'll call Eddie Bravo right now.
That's what I'm saying.
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying.
USADA is like the government, son.
Everything ain't fucking done by the books.
If I'm Dana, I'm like, open up your glove compartment box.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
brendan schaub
You keep that, and you keep your greasy mouth shut while these boys come over and punch each other in the face.
Don't fuck up our ESPN deal.
unidentified
Wow.
brendan schaub
And who wouldn't want to see that?
joe rogan
Yeah, maybe ESPN pulls him aside.
Take him to some smoky room.
Sit down there with some Cuban cigars.
brendan schaub
What are we doing here?
joe rogan
Fine whiskey.
brendan schaub
How long is their deal with USADA? Do we know?
unidentified
I don't know.
brendan schaub
Do we have any idea?
joe rogan
I don't know.
brendan schaub
Because he had to sign a contract.
joe rogan
I don't know.
brendan schaub
I bet there's a countdown in Dana's office just every day.
364 days.
364 days.
joe rogan
The whole thing is kind of crazy that it's self-imposed.
unidentified
Right?
brendan schaub
What are you doing, man?
joe rogan
Well, it's a great move.
brendan schaub
To sell.
joe rogan
To sell.
brendan schaub
There's the move.
joe rogan
Fertitta's so genius.
brendan schaub
Monster.
joe rogan
Lorenzo's a goddamn genius.
He figured it out.
And, you know, now he gets to just be a fan.
With $4 billion in the bank.
brendan schaub
What?
unidentified
What?
brendan schaub
He's like, yeah, I know.
You have to smash a few eggs to make an omelet, man.
joe rogan
But it's a great success story because those guys were down $40-plus million in the hole when The Ultimate Fighter took off.
They had lost $40 million.
brendan schaub
What's that to them, though?
joe rogan
It's enough.
brendan schaub
$40 is $40, but still.
joe rogan
It's enough.
If you lost a couple hundred grand, you would survive, but you'd be like, shit.
brendan schaub
I'd be pissed, for sure.
joe rogan
You'd be like, fuck, this is not good.
It takes a long time to make that money.
brendan schaub
Especially when I get to my boy to run, and it's fucking up, you know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Yeah, exactly.
Dude, $40 million is $40 million.
I don't give a fuck who you are.
brendan schaub
Well, if I'm a billionaire, I'm going to be like...
joe rogan
I don't want that money going away.
brendan schaub
I'm still going home to get my dick sucked.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, God, that sucks.
Anyways, let me walk into my giant mansion.
joe rogan
You've got to think of how many different businesses they're running at the same time, though.
They had like 20 casinos.
20 plus casinos.
brendan schaub
Palace stations.
joe rogan
They had Green Valley Ranch.
They had Red Rocks.
brendan schaub
Red Rocks is dope.
joe rogan
Dope.
brendan schaub
They just bought out Palms, too.
joe rogan
Dope.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Home's a little run down, but whatever.
joe rogan
The Nine, though.
That steakhouse there.
That's one of the best steakhouses in Vegas.
That place is phenomenal.
brendan schaub
The Ghost Bar used to be dope.
And the Ghost Bar?
That's old school.
joe rogan
I used to do stand-up there.
I've done stand-up in the Palms.
In the Ghost Bar?
There's one of the bars there.
One of the bars downstairs.
brendan schaub
There's a Laugh Factory in Vegas, right?
joe rogan
There is now, yeah.
brendan schaub
They're trying to bring it back.
joe rogan
Dice is there all the time.
I think it's in the Tropicana.
Does that make sense?
The Laugh Factory in the Tropicana?
unidentified
They just opened at the Comedy Cellar.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's in the Rio.
The Comedy Cellar is supposed to be really good.
brendan schaub
Who's running that though?
Someone we know is running that, I thought.
joe rogan
The Comedy Cellar?
I don't know.
Ian's there a lot, though.
Ian Edwards is doing it.
He says it's great.
brendan schaub
Vegas, to me, is always a weird vibe.
Obviously, you're there during a UFC fight.
We can do your huge fucking stadiums.
But I'm saying as far as the crowds, usually, if it's not a UFC crowd...
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a different thing.
Well, there's so many things to do, first of all.
brendan schaub
Or you compete with Celine Dion.
joe rogan
I could be on ecstasy right now.
Why am I here listening to you talk?
brendan schaub
I could be watching Blue Man Group fucking rolling my ass off.
Why am I here?
joe rogan
Yeah, there's so many things to do.
Like...
Have you ever been to one of those Cirque du Soleil's?
brendan schaub
Sure have.
Have you been to Love, the one at the MGM? Nope, but I've been to Zumanity with a friend and some drugs, and it was one of the best times ever.
joe rogan
Ever!
brendan schaub
Ever!
jamie vernon
How about when Disney uses those robot flipper things to do a Cirque du Soleil show?
joe rogan
How crazy was that?
I posted this online.
I saw this article about Disney's making acrobatic robots.
Dude, these robots flip through the air and land and jump into holes and shit.
brendan schaub
In the middle of the goddamn park?
joe rogan
These robots that Disney's making, they're animatronic robots, but here's what's fucked up about it.
What's to stop someone from using these and making like a Super Warrior with the same technology?
This is all under the guise of Disney!
These motherfuckers, I know what they're doing.
So, look at these things, dude.
brendan schaub
That's a robot?
joe rogan
That's a robot, son.
Look at this.
Look at it swing, and look at it let go, and tuck, and jump into a hole.
Yo, dude, that's gonna be a killer robot that we send overseas to fight battles.
Look at that thing.
Fly through the air, and boom.
This is nuts, man.
I mean, this is really insane stuff.
brendan schaub
What the fuck are they doing with this?
They're going to have this at the Pixar parade or some shit for all the kids?
joe rogan
I think they're going to do this for movies, for shit like that, so that you don't have to risk the lives.
brendan schaub
Stuntman, jobs, see ya.
Dude, that is so true.
Stuntman.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
Cuts.
brendan schaub
Tate Fletcher.
joe rogan
Yeah, but Tate's acting.
He'll slide in.
He'll be able to make it.
He's still going to be a character actor.
brendan schaub
That's true.
unidentified
He doesn't really do too much CGI face on that.
brendan schaub
Disney starts painting faces on there too.
joe rogan
They're not even going to need people for voices.
jamie vernon
Half of that movie, Logan, the Wolverine movie, he wasn't there.
joe rogan
What?
jamie vernon
There's a video you can see where they show you how they CGI'd everything.
unidentified
He wasn't really there for half of it.
They did it very strangely.
brendan schaub
That movie's depressing anyways.
unidentified
Yeah, like...
brendan schaub
If you're a Wolverine fan, I was like, God damn, bro.
He's driving a limo and shit.
joe rogan
Oh, is that what he's doing after it's over?
brendan schaub
He's like a limo and fucking Xavier.
Professor X is like in some weird fucking hut dying and it's hot out.
It'll bum me out, bro.
Don't watch it.
It's like that movie The Wrestler.
joe rogan
That's terrible.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it bumps you out.
Depressing.
X-Men first class all the way.
Anyways.
Yeah, Vegas is weird is what we're getting at and Disney's trying to take over the world.
joe rogan
Disney's about to work with DARPA. That's what's going on, son.
That's Boston Dynamics or whatever it is.
What's the company?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Boston Dynamics?
brendan schaub
Disney does everything better than everyone.
unidentified
He's not doing that this show.
It all breaks down.
brendan schaub
This is all a robot?
unidentified
It wasn't just a stunt double guy.
brendan schaub
What fucking hater released this?
joe rogan
Oh, so the stunt double guy does this?
unidentified
And then they put him on top of that.
What?
joe rogan
That's so weird.
unidentified
Him being a...
joe rogan
Oh, look at that.
They just have his face.
jamie vernon
So if you can make a robot do all that stuff, then you could easily just put his face on there.
unidentified
Whoa.
joe rogan
Hugh Jackman got super jacked.
brendan schaub
Bro, he's on that VTour diet for that.
joe rogan
He got so swole at once more.
brendan schaub
But why not?
joe rogan
But he doesn't look like that anymore.
Like in this one, he wasn't that swole.
brendan schaub
No, he had to do America's Greatest Showman.
He can't be all jacked singing and shit.
joe rogan
Right.
So they just mapped out his face.
But the thing is, if you see him...
In this one, he doesn't look as jacked as he did in like the earlier ones.
brendan schaub
Well, he's older.
He's older than Wolverine.
joe rogan
That's what he's supposed to be, right?
brendan schaub
Because if his body can recuperate from anything, why the fuck is he aging?
joe rogan
Exactly.
Why is he aging like that?
brendan schaub
Stanley, come on.
joe rogan
Where he's losing some of his muscle, but he's still throwing people through the air like they're ragdolls.
What are we talking about?
brendan schaub
He gets shot and recovers right away, but his fucking joints hurt?
His arthritis?
joe rogan
Is that what's happening?
Did he have arthritis?
No.
brendan schaub
No, he moves like it these days.
I don't know if he officially does.
I'm just saying, it doesn't make sense.
How about they come out with another fucking Spider-Man?
joe rogan
Oh, thank God.
They need a new Spider-Man.
They never want to pay Peter Parker.
unidentified
Dude!
joe rogan
When Peter Parker starts getting big, they go, yeah, well, guess what?
We're going to reboot it.
They just keep rebooting it.
They keep telling the same story over and over again with subtle differences.
brendan schaub
My Spider-Man's Tobey Maguire, you fucks.
joe rogan
You fucks.
brendan schaub
Anyone else kick off.
joe rogan
I'll tell you what, though.
The only time that that's worked, though?
The Hulk.
brendan schaub
Yeah, they've done it a bunch.
joe rogan
They started off with that Australian dude from Chopper.
What's his name?
brendan schaub
Eric Bana.
joe rogan
Eric Bana.
He was number one.
Wasn't thrilled about him as the Hulk.
brendan schaub
Not his fault.
joe rogan
It wasn't his fault.
It wasn't the best movie.
brendan schaub
Bad script.
joe rogan
And then Ed Norton.
Pretty good as a Hulk.
brendan schaub
Fan of Ed Norton.
joe rogan
I was like, okay, I can buy this.
But then Mark Ruffalo, best Hulk.
Best Hulk.
I believe him.
brendan schaub
Me too.
joe rogan
I believe he's really a scientist.
unidentified
Me too.
joe rogan
Mark Ruffalo's a beast.
I believe he really understands genetics, you know?
brendan schaub
Yeah, you gotta do that.
Like Christian Bale's the best Batman.
You're talking about real actors.
joe rogan
I agree.
Sorry, Ben Affleck.
I agree.
brendan schaub
How about Michael Keaton was Batman?
Who the fuck casted?
joe rogan
Michael Keaton was a good goddamn Batman.
brendan schaub
How are you going to cast Michael Keaton?
joe rogan
How about this?
George Clooney's Batman, too.
brendan schaub
He's a fucking Mr. Steal Your Girl.
I bought George Clooney.
unidentified
Did you?
joe rogan
I didn't buy it for a second.
brendan schaub
Oh, when Jim Carrey was the Riddler and then Tommy Lee Jones was Two-Face.
Those are the best Batmans.
When they were like, oh, we need to make this more real.
I'm like, fuck you.
I liked Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze.
joe rogan
Wait a minute.
Who was the Riddler?
Jim Carrey was the Riddler when who was Batman?
brendan schaub
George Clooney.
Batman Returns, bro.
joe rogan
Wow.
But Christian Bale's better.
brendan schaub
Or Batman Forever, sorry.
Christian Bale's a better Batman.
It's too real.
joe rogan
Do you know Christian Bale was Batman only like six months after he was the machinist?
brendan schaub
That's insane.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Really insane.
I mean, he was down to like almost nothing.
He was dying.
He was eating like a can of tuna and an apple a day.
brendan schaub
That's insane.
joe rogan
You know what kind of willpower you have to have to let your body literally rot away to this skinny thing for a movie?
Just for a movie.
You don't have anorexia.
You don't have a disease.
brendan schaub
Think how much you love the craft of acting to do that.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
brendan schaub
Everybody's trying to be the Joker these days, though.
That's like the big one.
joe rogan
Tony Hinchcliffe.
brendan schaub
He's trying.
joe rogan
He wants to be.
brendan schaub
Jared Leto went, excuse me, Tony, take a hike.
joe rogan
Tony wants to be the Joker.
Yeah, so look, he went from that to that.
unidentified
121 to 195. That's all natural.
joe rogan
That's insane.
unidentified
There was another movie in between, I think.
joe rogan
Oh, there was?
unidentified
Yeah.
jamie vernon
The equilibrium, it said, there's another picture here.
brendan schaub
Dude, you're telling me that's not photoshopped at all on the left?
unidentified
No, that's what he looked like.
joe rogan
No, that's what he really looked like.
brendan schaub
That is so unhealthy.
joe rogan
Oh, dude, it takes years off your life.
I mean, you're putting unbelievable stress on your organs.
unidentified
He's such a good actor.
joe rogan
He's a beast.
brendan schaub
He's English, you know that?
joe rogan
I thought he was Australian.
brendan schaub
Is he?
unidentified
I think he's English.
joe rogan
Is he?
unidentified
I think so.
brendan schaub
The best actors are English, bro.
joe rogan
A lot of them are Australian.
brendan schaub
They'll throw you for a loop, like Chris Hemsworth.
joe rogan
But Jackman, like as an actor, like Christian Bale, he does some stuff.
brendan schaub
Wolverine?
joe rogan
Look, I'm a fan.
Don't get me wrong.
But Christian Bale does some stuff like in American Psycho.
Okay, that's another one.
brendan schaub
When he was in The Fighter?
joe rogan
When he played Mickey Ward's brother.
brendan schaub
Oh my god.
joe rogan
Dude.
unidentified
He's up and down the whole time.
185, 121, 190, 135, 190, 145. Him in Reign of Fire, he is bodied the fuck up.
joe rogan
Yeah, so he got down skinny again to play Mickey Ward's brother.
brendan schaub
A meth addict, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, I forget Mickey Ward's brother, but his brother fought Sugar Ray Leonard.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
unidentified
This was in between, too.
Rescue Don, I don't know.
joe rogan
I never saw that one.
brendan schaub
He's such a beast.
joe rogan
That dragon movie was dope for one of them silly dumb movies.
brendan schaub
Which dragon movie?
joe rogan
He was in a dragon movie.
What was the dragon movie he was in?
Wasn't he in a dragon movie with Matthew McConaughey?
It was in the future.
Yeah, everybody had to live underground.
unidentified
Did you do all the drugs?
joe rogan
I did them all.
They had to live.
unidentified
That was it.
Reign of Fire.
joe rogan
Oh, Reign of Fire.
unidentified
With dragons?
joe rogan
Yeah, that's the dragon movie.
brendan schaub
I've never heard that.
joe rogan
That's where Reign of Fire is.
brendan schaub
Oh, damn.
joe rogan
There's a dragon movie.
Yeah, Matthew McConaughey's jacked in that movie.
brendan schaub
Oh, man.
joe rogan
Super jacked.
brendan schaub
See, he got super skinny for Dallas Buyers Club when he had AIDS. Yeah, he did it too.
joe rogan
He's another one.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
See if you get a picture of Matthew McConaughey jacked.
brendan schaub
Dude, I heard rumors about Tom Hardy.
joe rogan
Shirtless.
Matthew McConaughey, shirtless, Reign of Fire.
See, right there in that picture where he's got a vest on?
Look how jacked he looks.
unidentified
Damn.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was jacked for this movie.
brendan schaub
I've never heard of that movie.
joe rogan
It's a dumb movie.
brendan schaub
Is it?
joe rogan
Is it bad?
It's just dumb.
brendan schaub
It's so dumb it's entertaining.
joe rogan
It's silly, you know, that these dragons fuck everybody up and, you know.
brendan schaub
Dude, remember how bad I used to hate on dragons until I watched Game of Thrones?
unidentified
I would clown on all you guys for watching dragons.
brendan schaub
I watched Game of Thrones.
That dragon burns, spoiler alert, you fucks, been out for nine years.
He burns that fucking frozen wall.
unidentified
Woo!
brendan schaub
I'm talking standing ovation.
I was in the middle of my living room, slow clapping.
joe rogan
Those dragons are fucking scary.
brendan schaub
The one turns into a fucking White Walker?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Make it dick hard.
It ends and his eye just goes, and it's a White Walker eye.
joe rogan
Everybody who works on that show, listen to me.
Don't ever cancel it.
Just keep going.
You're never gonna do anything better than that.
It's the greatest show of all time.
I don't know what you're thinking.
Just write some new episodes.
Figure out some new shit.
It's the greatest show of all time.
brendan schaub
They just rap?
joe rogan
No!
brendan schaub
They rap?
joe rogan
No, they'll be back.
brendan schaub
God damn, look at that Mr. Stewart.
joe rogan
Damn!
Matthew McConaughey jacked!
unidentified
Jacked!
joe rogan
He's jacked!
brendan schaub
I feel like for me to get that skinny and thin, I would have to go on some...
I'd have to get some role like Dallas Buyers Club.
joe rogan
Look at that one right above that.
Right above that?
Right above your cursor?
Right there.
Right there.
unidentified
Someone different.
joe rogan
Oh, who's that?
brendan schaub
That's Bradley Cooper.
joe rogan
Bradley Cooper, bodied up too, son.
Look at him.
brendan schaub
But wouldn't you do all the steroids to play these roles?
I think they call me to be Batman.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, all right, let me go down to Gold's Gym, see what I can do.
joe rogan
Yeah, you would have to.
You would have to.
You'd have to go on the carnivore diet, drop your body fat down.
brendan schaub
Why wouldn't you, though?
joe rogan
Yeah, intermittent fasting.
Yeah, just the whole...
Cryo every day.
unidentified
Yes.
brendan schaub
Yeah, you'd be training camp.
joe rogan
Get shredded.
brendan schaub
Be training camp.
joe rogan
You'd want to have that scene where you're putting on your fucking outfit, and you're just fucking...
brendan schaub
Oh, I'd be like, we need more scenes where I'm shirtless.
joe rogan
Oh, Ryan Reynolds?
Is that Ryan Reynolds?
brendan schaub
No, that's Blade.
That's Blade.
Blade 3. That's Ryan Reynolds in Blade 3. But who's that guy?
joe rogan
Not this, it's just another guy.
That's next level.
See, that's what you gotta try for.
That's what you gotta try for.
No one ever tries for that.
brendan schaub
Dude, chicks don't dig that though.
Other dudes dig that.
joe rogan
Shut your fucking mouth.
brendan schaub
We dig that.
Shut your fucking mouth.
joe rogan
They say that because they're trying to make you feel better.
Oh my god, I think it's so gross.
I like guys that are soft like you.
I like to grab your back and feel a little fat.
Look at Ryan Reynolds with his fucking Apex.
Disgusto.
Oh my god, get it away.
I mean, I definitely don't want his dick in my mouth.
brendan schaub
Eat up, babe.
joe rogan
I like to feel a little belly fat on my nose.
brendan schaub
Get a A full rack of ribs.
Now fuck in the shake.
Watch it down with the shake.
joe rogan
I like a man who's just relaxed like me and doesn't want to do much.
That's what I like.
Please do.
They're trying to make you feel good.
They're trying to make you feel good.
unidentified
I'm not fat.
All I'm saying is...
joe rogan
I'm not saying you are fat.
We're both fat compared to that guy.
brendan schaub
Dude, both of us are fucking Adele compared to that guy.
I'm saying that's unrealistic.
That's too much.
joe rogan
Someone has body image issues.
brendan schaub
No, I'm saying that's too much.
joe rogan
You're like one of them girls that get planes about chicks with little waist and big tits.
Oh my god, I have body image issues.
brendan schaub
Oh no, I appreciate men more than people think I'm gay.
I appreciate so many men.
joe rogan
I have body image issues because of these women that are unattainable.
They have these unattainable bodies and it's fucked up.
You're putting a standard on women.
brendan schaub
That's not real.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah.
I had a friend once that said this.
She was talking about someone's girlfriend.
She's like, ugh, I just wish she had a real girlfriend, like a real woman.
I go, what are you talking about?
And she's like, look, look who he's dating.
It's a typical pretty girl with blonde hair and a nice body.
Like, you know, why doesn't he have a real girlfriend?
I go, what is a real girlfriend?
That's so crazy.
People are real people.
You're hating on someone because they're attracted?
brendan schaub
Because it's not you.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Why would you assume that she's not super nice and really friendly and really smart?
Because you're prejudiced.
Because you're just looking at her and deciding that you're hating.
brendan schaub
Now, is she a dumbass?
Probably.
But does that matter?
You know what I'm saying?
It does not matter.
It's all right.
She might not be as smart as you.
joe rogan
How much of that is her fault?
This is as I've gotten older and wiser, even when I meet dumb people.
I'm like, how much of it is really their fault?
brendan schaub
Maybe they're just not into that stuff.
joe rogan
Or maybe they just got a bad roll of the dice with life and with genetics and the whole ball of wax.
brendan schaub
Sometimes a bad roll of the dice is you're genetically gifted if you're a girl or a guy and you look super pretty and things come easy to you and you never have to read a book or get balls deep into a sport or something like that.
And to me, that can be a curse.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Dude, there's a curse to that because then things get easy.
brendan schaub
Like, you want your daughters, you don't want to be tens.
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
You want, like, sevens.
Strong seven.
Strong seven.
Where, like, there's certain guys' types, but they still got to educate themselves.
joe rogan
Right.
brendan schaub
You know, like, you don't want to blow out asses and big titties.
You want to just, like...
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
You know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, for sure.
brendan schaub
You don't want Nicki Minaj as your daughter.
joe rogan
In that 10, the 10's a sprint.
7 is an ultramarathon.
brendan schaub
Yeah, to me, they have a long road.
joe rogan
7 can stay a 7 for many, many, many years.
brendan schaub
It's all good.
Especially like aging or black.
joe rogan
Go to the gym.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
They could hang in there.
brendan schaub
But they got to work for it.
Like, you don't want to just give it to them.
You know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
The problem with some 10s that go to 8s can't handle it.
brendan schaub
Well, even when they're eights, they're still hot, but in their mind...
joe rogan
Yeah, but in their mind, they're not anymore, and they get really freaked out by it.
Old Testarossa?
It was hot in the 80s!
brendan schaub
They're so hot.
They were tens in the 80s.
joe rogan
This one, they had the gated shifter.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Remember that?
brendan schaub
You drive one now, you're like, what the fuck is going on here?
joe rogan
So stupid.
brendan schaub
It's a Fred Flintstone Ferrari.
Do I have to get out and do this?
No.
joe rogan
But meanwhile, they're worth like a million dollars or something stupid.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I tried buying one.
joe rogan
Yeah?
unidentified
Did you?
brendan schaub
I wanted one.
I go on these weird fucking...
I almost bought a DeLorean the other day.
joe rogan
I knew a lady who had an old Ferrari.
She bought an old Ferrari.
In like 2015, she bought like one that was the one from Magnum PI. Oh, the 364?
Is that what it is?
brendan schaub
I think so.
joe rogan
It's a cool little car, but it was just always braking.
brendan schaub
That's a bummer.
joe rogan
You know, those things, they're just not gonna...
You can't drive across country in that car.
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
Not if somebody's been driving it every year.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
They'd be fun, though.
I'd like to have a bunch of cars.
joe rogan
I would like to have a bunch of cars, too.
brendan schaub
You do have a bunch of cars.
Oh, yeah.
Don't jump into this conversation.
I'm still hustling.
Hey, don't try relating to me on this.
joe rogan
I'm hustling, too, dude.
brendan schaub
You're fucking hustling your ass up, but you have all the cars.
joe rogan
I don't have all the cars.
You know what I've been getting into, man?
Old, plain-looking BMW M3s.
Like an E46 M3. Oh, wow.
brendan schaub
All right.
I'm down for that.
Dude, get an 8 Series with that V12. Maybe, but I'm talking about old cars.
joe rogan
I'm talking about like a 2005. Me too.
brendan schaub
That 8 Series, I'm talking like 1994, bro.
joe rogan
V12. That's when the lights go up.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that thing's sick.
joe rogan
That's where I draw the line, when the lights go up.
Can't do it, son.
brendan schaub
Tess Rosa of the BMW. You liked the 95.3 series?
Yeah.
Like when they came to that canary yellow?
joe rogan
I did.
I did like those.
I liked the ones with the big wing in the back.
brendan schaub
Yeah, those were cool.
joe rogan
The M3 with the wing in the back.
brendan schaub
Everyone loved those.
joe rogan
Tiny ass little car too, man.
You go near those cars today, they don't make anything that small anymore.
Or not.
No, BMW doesn't at least.
Look at that.
brendan schaub
Those white lights on the side, so European.
joe rogan
That's a dope looking...
That's an E36, right?
That's an E36 BMW? Yeah.
Yeah.
Google Silver E46 BMW. You thinking about getting one of those?
unidentified
I'm thinking about it.
brendan schaub
Out of all the cars?
joe rogan
I know, right?
brendan schaub
Well, that's your style, I guess.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Are you going to buy it to run into a wall or something?
joe rogan
Look at that.
I like that.
You know what I like about that?
That's not a 95. Yes, it's 2005. What I like about that, yeah.
brendan schaub
That's not a 2005. Yeah, it is.
joe rogan
It's an E46. The back's different.
No, that's what they look like.
That's an M3. That's exactly what it looks like.
I'm a fan of the model.
It's a very plain looking car.
You know what some people do with those?
They just juice the shit out of the engine and change the suspension and the thing about it It's a light small car that like moves.
Well, I think that car probably only weighs about 3,000 pounds like Google how much does a 2005 BMW M3 where those old Porsches are like fuck to though, man Just Google how much does it weigh?
Was it the weight?
brendan schaub
I mean, we could go buy 10 of these right now, Joe.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
3,400 pounds.
So that's pretty light in comparison to like a new one.
I bet the new ones are 300 or 400 pounds heavier than that.
That's a big deal.
brendan schaub
The new ones are way faster.
Way faster.
Way cooler, let's be real.
joe rogan
But they take these and they put crazy engines in them and juice them up because it's a smaller car.
brendan schaub
That's one of the original cars I remember kids just fucking jacking up with a big exhaust on.
You buy the shirts.
joe rogan
Do you ever see a kid that spends so much money on a really shitty Accord and puts crazy...
brendan schaub
Or a Civic?
I'm like, bro, just because they sell it at Pep Boys doesn't mean you have to put it on the goddamn car.
Why do you have all that shit all over the car?
joe rogan
What are you doing?
And why?
brendan schaub
And it was so loud.
I'm like, car's not even fast.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
It's...
brendan schaub
They have that horrible four-cylinder drone.
Those kids thought they were so cool.
joe rogan
Well, I guess it's cooler than the car as it is.
No, probably not even.
Because what it is is just transportation.
You're supposed to just accept what it is.
brendan schaub
It's peacocking.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Like, you're like, look at this.
And the girls are like...
Again, you're not doing that for girls.
joe rogan
You're doing that for dudes.
unidentified
Exactly.
brendan schaub
Other dudes are like, oh, that's pretty cool.
Girls are like, what the fuck is that thing?
joe rogan
Yeah, look at that.
Honda Civic.
brendan schaub
Nothing makes my dick go limp like that.
Like a Civic.
joe rogan
They can make those things fairly fast, though, can't they?
brendan schaub
Yeah, I just started...
The SI one you're talking about?
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
What is that Ford Focus GT? Is that that little tiny car that's supposed to go fast as fuck?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's a tiny little car, right?
brendan schaub
You want something like that, though.
You want that Subaru WRX STI. The Ford?
joe rogan
Yeah.
How much does that thing weigh?
That's a tiny little car, right?
brendan schaub
That thing looks like shit.
unidentified
It does.
joe rogan
It does.
3,200 pounds is a tiny little car.
brendan schaub
Bro.
Dude, you brought up 95 BMWs, Ford Focuses, and Civics.
joe rogan
Well, you know, man, you know I have that white car, the white 911 RS? Fuck yeah.
That car, it ruins me for everything else.
Because it's so light.
That car only weighs 3,000 pounds.
brendan schaub
That thing's insane.
joe rogan
Ruins me for everything else.
brendan schaub
Nothing else fun to drive?
joe rogan
Everything's fun.
I love cars.
Different.
That thing is just a different animal.
It's like the difference between a dog and a cheetah.
Like, one of them is like, dogs run pretty good.
They do a pretty good job.
But then you get to cheat and you're like, Jesus.
brendan schaub
Not even a dog.
Yeah, that's weird.
But what if you got a 911T? How light's a 911T and then send it to Sharkworth just to blow the ass out the front?
joe rogan
Oh, one of the new ones you mean?
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
That thing's light as fuck.
joe rogan
They're very light.
Yeah, the 911Ts.
Yeah, I'm sure they could do something like that.
brendan schaub
Yeah, because you know they don't have handles.
They have nothing.
They have no back seats.
They're super light.
joe rogan
Yeah.
What did they get them down to?
brendan schaub
I forget, but...
joe rogan
Is it GT3 weights?
brendan schaub
I want to say they're lighter, aren't they?
joe rogan
They have a GT3 touring package.
brendan schaub
I want that thing so bad.
joe rogan
Yeah, so it's GT3 without the crazy wing, and it just...
Because most of the people are not taking them on a track.
You're just driving a fast car around town.
brendan schaub
I'm 35. I can have that thing.
joe rogan
So the GT... 3200. Is this the GT3 or this the T? That's the T. 3200. That's pretty goddamn light.
brendan schaub
For a Porsche?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Zero to sixty for 3.4 seconds.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but you can soup that fucking thing up.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I wonder.
What is the horsepower?
What does it say?
See, what they're doing with...
Yeah, that's a 370. That's not even the S engine.
brendan schaub
No, man.
joe rogan
That's the regular engine.
brendan schaub
They're all turbo now, though.
joe rogan
Go to 911 GT3 Touring.
I bet that's just as light, but that's got like 500 horsepower.
brendan schaub
Dude, that's my next ride, I think.
unidentified
Whoa!
brendan schaub
I either want that or a McLaren, man.
joe rogan
Well, you have that GTS, which is a very fast car, too.
brendan schaub
It's fucking great.
joe rogan
There was a big article about one of those recently.
brendan schaub
I know.
People, they say it's one of the best, like, daily driver's portals ever made.
joe rogan
Wow, that's 3,100 pounds, son.
brendan schaub
Bro, 500 pounds.
joe rogan
Woo!
500 horsepower, 3,100 pounds.
That thing must be amazing.
brendan schaub
This is what I want to do.
I want to get a Touring.
I want to order it.
I want it in that mint green.
joe rogan
Look how pretty that is.
They just nailed that shape.
You know, I love...
It's one of the more interesting things about cars is just the physical shapes.
Like what they've managed to make iconic.
The Porsche is such an iconic shape.
brendan schaub
They don't need to do anything.
They do little subtle changes to the back and the exhaust.
That doesn't bother me.
joe rogan
Yeah, they just keep kind of tweaking it a little bit, but they keep that shape.
Like, every 911 looks like a 911. Like, if you look at a 2019 Mustang, and then you look at a 1965 Mustang, you're like, how do I know this is the same thing?
brendan schaub
I know.
joe rogan
You can barely tell this is the same thing.
But you could have a 911 next to, like, you could have that 964 that's like a 91 next to a 2019, and you can go, oh, I see.
They're both 911s.
brendan schaub
100%.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That's the only car that I can think of like that.
Because old Ferraris don't look like new Ferraris at all.
brendan schaub
Not at all.
I guess the new Challengers look like a little bit like the old Challenger.
joe rogan
Yeah, they retro-ed it out a little bit.
brendan schaub
Camaros, they're trying to go back to it.
joe rogan
Camaros did like a new take on it.
brendan schaub
The newest ones, even...
joe rogan
Look at that.
Ooh, son!
Come on!
That is a GT3 RS in all green.
brendan schaub
Seinfeld gets like those and shit.
joe rogan
That's an amazing car, man.
That car is more than 500 horsepower.
I think that thing's got 520. And they're so light and just designed for track.
You like that?
brendan schaub
You think you're a dickhead for driving around town?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Lime green.
You have a lime green car that says GT3RS on it.
brendan schaub
Dude, mine says GTS and it's fucking hot orange.
joe rogan
You should only wear golf club shirts from exclusive golf clubs that no one could join.
And then have those loafers on with no socks.
Just smell like aqua velvet.
brendan schaub
Just beating the shit out of everyone on the road.
joe rogan
You should smell like, what's that, what is it called when you pass down money to your kids?
They have one of those accounts.
brendan schaub
What are those accounts?
joe rogan
Trust funds.
Yeah, that's it.
brendan schaub
Smell like a trust fund?
joe rogan
Smell like a trust fund.
I'll tell you what, man.
All the handicaps you get in life, one of the biggest handicaps you get is a trust fund.
There's something that happens to kids, at least most of the ones that I've ever heard of.
Not just security, but a large income just given to them by their parents.
unidentified
I've seen it.
brendan schaub
Where they don't have to work on it?
joe rogan
Yes.
brendan schaub
You know, I read a statistic the other day.
It's like they're 400% more likely to die before the age of 40 when they have that much money.
Jesus Christ.
unidentified
400%.
joe rogan
400%.
I know a couple people that have had one of those deals.
brendan schaub
And did you like them?
No, they were a mess.
joe rogan
They fucking suck.
I felt sad for them.
brendan schaub
I know.
joe rogan
They felt like they weren't really done.
Like if you're an egg and you still got that gooey stuff on top, it's like it's not quite done.
Rich kids are counting on inheritance to pay for retirement.
Well-off young people...
Hold on.
Where are you going?
Well-off young people say they need money from relatives and friends to guarantee their golden years stay golden.
unidentified
What?
brendan schaub
See, that's just click-baity.
joe rogan
That's just some click-baity shit.
unidentified
I just saw this article the other day.
You guys just mentioned it.
It's like 63% of them or something.
joe rogan
Oh, 63% of affluent children between the ages of 18 and 22 say financial stability retirement will depend on inheriting money.
You know, it's just, that's one of the things that Tim Kennedy said when he was on the podcast.
He said, hard times make hard men, hard men make easy times, easy times make soft men.
brendan schaub
Preach, Tim Kennedy.
joe rogan
To preach.
brendan schaub
But what do you do with your kids?
Like, my kids grow up in Santa Monica.
joe rogan
Martial arts.
Martial arts.
brendan schaub
For the girls, you think they're going to be balls deep in martial arts so they're like in ninth grade?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
I think you've got to get a certain amount of actual hard work in your life.
brendan schaub
I think martial arts are going to do that for them.
joe rogan
I think there's something to it.
There's something to valuing goals and to working towards things and then being in difficult situations.
brendan schaub
We could say sports though.
joe rogan
Sports, yes.
brendan schaub
Sports in general.
joe rogan
Yes, for sure.
I think all sports.
But I think martial arts in particular, it's more personal.
Like when someone strangles you, when someone gets your back and then sinks that fucking body triangle on you and you're fighting it off and then they get you and you have to tap, that's very personal.
brendan schaub
You'll get humbled for sure.
joe rogan
Right, but most people don't deal with those kind of things in life.
I think the experience of dealing with those things in life is very valuable because you can relax more.
You can relax more.
You know, there's some people...
brendan schaub
Confidence.
joe rogan
Right.
Yeah, well, it's not just that.
You've experienced bad things.
Bad things in terms of, like, bad defeats, losses, getting smushed, having to tap.
There's a lot of people that have never...
Like, how many times have you ever rolled with a guy that never rolled before?
And the moment you start rolling with him, you get him on his back, and they start hyperventilating, and they're panicking.
They panic, because they've never been there before.
brendan schaub
Professional football players, basketball players I've rolled with, and they get down, they're like, oh, shit.
joe rogan
Oh, no.
They realize they can't get up.
And then you start closing the gap on them.
brendan schaub
My only problem with martial arts, if you're just going to go down that road, is when you're in that dojo where the fuck you're doing the martial arts, when they leave, they know that not many people have seen it.
If you and I are rolling and we don't know each other and you tap me out, I leave there.
Not too many people see it.
The other class might see it.
When you're in professional sports and we're playing basketball or football and the game's on the line and I get embarrassed because I dropped the ball or I whiffed and struck out and the entire audience sees it and I have to deal with that and then come back from it.
And be like, alright, I can deal with this, man.
I fucking struck out.
I play a game next week.
I gotta go through class.
People can make fun of me.
I'll figure this out.
To me, that builds a little something different.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's also teamwork, right?
That's a big part of life.
Big part of life is being able to work with other people.
Being able to perform under pressure.
brendan schaub
But also facing that adversity and knowing, because if you tap me out, when I go to school, no one knows that.
joe rogan
That's true.
brendan schaub
It's whatever.
When my class knows I threw an interception, like, fuck, shopped through that interception, man.
Monday, everyone's like, dude, what happened?
You're like, I know, I know.
Wait till Friday.
We'll see what happens Friday.
joe rogan
Yeah, Bill Buckner had to leave Boston.
brendan schaub
He had to go in like fucking...
joe rogan
He had to go into hiding.
Yeah.
The ball went between his legs.
Everybody freaked out.
Dude, I remember people walking around.
Dude, people were walking around the neighborhood while that was like fucking kicking the snow and angry.
They were just so angry.
People were leaving their houses.
It was like there was reports of it all over Boston that people would just slam.
They couldn't deal with it anymore.
They would just slam the car, the front door rather, and just walk out into the street.
Like, what the fuck?
Everybody out there smoking, looking at each other like, how the fuck did he drop that ball?
brendan schaub
Dude.
joe rogan
Imagine you'd be that guy.
brendan schaub
Tragic.
joe rogan
Look, all of it is rough.
I think sports are definitely great for kids, for anybody developing.
Even for adults, I think they're good.
I think competition's good.
The problem with people is they get nervous about trying new things or doing things.
And I think one of the things that gets you over nerves is having done difficult shit before.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
And one of the things about jujitsu is that that's such a claustrophobic feeling.
When you're locked up in a triangle, and you're just trying to get a hand in there to protect you, and you're feeling the squeeze, and you're like, fuck, I might have to tap, and you make your way out of it.
Being able to do that in your life, knowing I've been in a bad spot before, knowing someone's been on top of me before and I didn't think I'd get up, I think it's a very valuable thing for people to experience.
And I think it's a good thing for people to learn.
If you could start out as a white belt and just deal with that stuff that you get up until blue belt and purple belt, where you start developing some skills and putting some taps down, if you You can get through that, man.
You can get through anything.
A guy who can get to purple belt or a girl who can get to black belt or brown belt, those people, that man, that woman that can get that far, they can do a lot of shit.
brendan schaub
Goddamn, bro.
joe rogan
That a lot of people can't do.
brendan schaub
For sure.
joe rogan
I think giving your kids that opportunity is a massive thing.
And I know your kid's going to learn how to fight.
How the fuck is your kid not going to learn how to fight?
brendan schaub
Already it's an issue.
Because I watch a lot of fights, so when I come in the house, Right when I get home today, because he sees all the fighters, boxers, and UFC guys, they fight with their shirts off.
When I walk in, he goes, Papa!
Papa!
He takes his shirt off and goes, Papa!
I'll show you a video of him hitting mitts.
I'm like, I don't know what to do.
joe rogan
Encourage him.
brendan schaub
Yeah, kind of.
joe rogan
You don't have to fight, son.
brendan schaub
He only does it with me.
joe rogan
Daddy made good.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he only does it with me.
joe rogan
Daddy's got a goddamn hit podcast.
You're not getting hit in the head.
brendan schaub
Daddy's touring.
Daddy's on the road.
joe rogan
Daddy's selling out.
brendan schaub
Yeah, Daddy's selling out.
joe rogan
But, like, you seen Eddie Bravo's kid do martial arts?
brendan schaub
Yeah, Beast.
Dude.
You seen Henner's?
joe rogan
I haven't.
brendan schaub
That motherfucker's on a teddy bear.
Henner just posted, he's on a teddy bear doing, like, arm bars.
joe rogan
Arm bars on teddy bears.
brendan schaub
And he's, you know...
joe rogan
Eddie does drills with his kid.
He posts videos of drills he does with his kid.
His kid is learning the system.
brendan schaub
I think that's good.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah!
His kid's gonna be an assassin.
You know what kind of jujitsu Eddie Bravo's kid's gonna have?
brendan schaub
Pretty gnarly.
joe rogan
Because he's around his kid all the time.
Eddie is a diligent father.
He loves being a dad.
brendan schaub
Here's Henner's little boy.
joe rogan
This is Henner's kid.
He gets the mount!
Look at this shit.
brendan schaub
Look at him.
joe rogan
That is hilarious.
He takes the back.
Look at that.
brendan schaub
He's like two and a half, I want to say.
joe rogan
That is hilarious.
This kid is taking the back at two and a half.
That is so funny.
This is hilarious.
brendan schaub
He is the best teacher in the world.
joe rogan
Of course.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
brendan schaub
No one explains it better than Henner.
joe rogan
I think Henner, too, this is like his biggest pupil in terms of jujitsu.
I mean, obviously, Ronda Rousey was his most famous pupil.
Look at that arm bar that kid's got.
brendan schaub
That's amazing.
Ronda had an arm bar before she got there.
joe rogan
She did.
Exactly.
But Brian Ortega has everything.
He's got everything.
He can choke you.
He can take your back.
He can fight you off his back.
brendan schaub
Brian came in there and didn't know anything.
He was a tough gang member, wannabe.
Well, I shouldn't say wannabe.
He was a tough gang member from the streets.
Couldn't afford it, so Henner took him under his wing.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
brendan schaub
And now he's the number one featherweight in the world, not named Max Holloway.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
brendan schaub
Such a cool story.
joe rogan
Henner's such a good instructor, man.
I love listening to him talk to.
He's so enthusiastic.
He's contagious.
He does those videos online.
brendan schaub
He could sell anything.
joe rogan
We're going to make watermelon juice, guys.
brendan schaub
Come on, this is what we're going to do.
joe rogan
You're like, okay, watermelon juice.
brendan schaub
I've had a lot of coaches since I was a very young kid, and I've never had anyone as far as a better coach than Henner Gracie.
joe rogan
Wow.
brendan schaub
I know, man.
joe rogan
They're from the source, man.
I mean, think about that.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but there's a lot of those guys from the source, but they're not Henner.
And all those guys are great, but as far as egos and just being like, you can hang out with Henner anywhere.
And he's like a great time.
And he knows a thing or two about everything.
He's like, did you say surfing?
And he has a black belt in surfing.
Fruit.
He knows sushi.
joe rogan
Didn't he open up his own place now?
He has his own jiu-jitsu place?
brendan schaub
Yeah, they left his dad's place.
They went right up the street.
Now him and his...
in Huron.
unidentified
Huron?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, that's amazing.
brendan schaub
Where's that at?
It's right up the street.
It's still in Torrance.
Very close.
The facility's ridiculous.
joe rogan
Is the old place still open?
brendan schaub
I'm not sure.
I don't know the details on that, but I know Henner and Hiran are doing their own thing now, and they're killing it.
joe rogan
That's awesome.
Yeah, dude, it's very lucrative in Southern California.
Think about how many jiu-jitsu schools.
brendan schaub
Especially if you're, I mean, Henner and Hiran.
joe rogan
Top of the food chain.
brendan schaub
But as far as business mind, too, that's what makes Henner so special.
His business mind is insane.
Yeah.
He started at the Gracie University.
That was all his concept.
joe rogan
Is it really?
brendan schaub
He came up with that.
joe rogan
Well, listen, for someone who lives in the middle of the country, that's a great thing.
I mean, it's not as good as being instructed by him.
brendan schaub
Of course not.
joe rogan
But if you live in the middle of the country and you don't have access to other instruction, that is a great thing.
brendan schaub
Snowed in Wyoming or some shit and you can go online.
joe rogan
Is that a real place?
Snowed in Wyoming?
brendan schaub
Well, if you're snowed in.
joe rogan
Oh.
brendan schaub
You know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
I don't know.
brendan schaub
Sounds like a town, though.
Sounds like a nice place.
unidentified
It does.
joe rogan
Like a ski resort.
brendan schaub
I know.
Snowden?
You ever been to Snowden?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
We go to Snowden every year with the McGraws.
brendan schaub
I love Snowden.
joe rogan
Yeah, we fly.
brendan schaub
Snowden.
joe rogan
We fly together.
We drink cocktails.
It's amazing.
Snowden.
We're going to Snowden.
I'm going to wear my fur.
I don't care.
unidentified
I'm wearing my fur for PETA. It sounds like a legit place.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It does.
Have you ever been to Wyoming?
brendan schaub
I've been to Wyoming.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Dude, I just went to Idaho for the first time.
I was just in Boise.
brendan schaub
How was that?
Oh, you met the Black Rifle guys.
Matt Best.
joe rogan
Great guys.
brendan schaub
How great to see.
joe rogan
They're all great.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They were awesome.
brendan schaub
Did you go hunt with them or no?
joe rogan
No.
No.
brendan schaub
Hunt with those motherfuckers.
Okay.
They hunt humans, but yeah.
joe rogan
Hey, that's not what I want to do.
brendan schaub
I'm just saying, if you're not humans, you can hunt fucking elk or...
joe rogan
Yeah, a lot of those guys who used to hunt humans become hunters.
It helps them sort of cope with society.
brendan schaub
They also have, you know, they have a special skill set.
joe rogan
Yeah, a little bit of that.
brendan schaub
They're very good with the guns.
joe rogan
Not even with just guns.
A lot of them get into bow hunting, in fact.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
A lot of them.
brendan schaub
I figured you and Matt would get along.
joe rogan
Yeah, great guy.
brendan schaub
Great guy, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, and their coffee's badass, man.
It's delicious shit.
brendan schaub
I got my own coffee coming out.
I know.
joe rogan
That's what I heard, kid.
brendan schaub
I know.
joe rogan
Black Rifle Coffee, Brennan Shop version.
What are they calling it?
The Big Brown Blend?
brendan schaub
Big Brown Coffee.
Big Brown Coffee.
It's my own brand.
joe rogan
How about Big Brown Blend?
brendan schaub
I like that too.
It's Big Brown Coffee Co.
joe rogan
I like that too.
Big Brown Coffee Co.
brendan schaub
Black Rifle.
joe rogan
Nice.
Your own brand?
brendan schaub
I know.
joe rogan
Damn, son.
brendan schaub
I know.
joe rogan
Branching out.
brendan schaub
I know.
joe rogan
You like one of those things?
brendan schaub
Entrepreneur?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I guess.
joe rogan
Like a fucking boss businessman type character.
brendan schaub
What's up, man?
Fuck.
joe rogan
What's up, dog?
brendan schaub
But Idaho was nice.
Dude.
They said the show was fucking great.
joe rogan
It was really fun.
It was a big-ass place.
brendan schaub
It's beautiful outside.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's where the UFC is.
UFC's there in July.
brendan schaub
What card is that?
joe rogan
That's Junior Dos Santos versus...
brendan schaub
Dude, I totally forgot.
joe rogan
He's fighting that Russian character.
Who's he fighting?
Volkov?
No, not Volkov.
No.
brendan schaub
That's the dark horse.
joe rogan
I forgot about Volkov.
Volkov's the darkest of dark horse.
Ivanov.
Ivanov.
Wasn't he the guy that was the Bellator champion at one point in time?
brendan schaub
No, that's Volkov, bro.
joe rogan
No, but I think he was first.
So, yeah, Blagov, Ivanov.
brendan schaub
Blagov, Ivanov.
joe rogan
Ivanov, yeah.
Blagoi, Ivanov.
I think he was...
Just Google him.
I think he was...
He was either World Series of Fighting champion.
Might be that.
brendan schaub
I think you're right on World Series.
That's not Bellator's, is it?
joe rogan
Maybe World Series of Fighting.
Let's see.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's World Series.
You're right.
He's World Series.
joe rogan
World Series of fighting.
Yeah, he's a tough motherfucker.
That guy has a crazy story, too.
He was stabbed and he almost died.
See if you can find that story.
It's a crazy story.
brendan schaub
God, they're doing Junior no favors.
joe rogan
He was stabbed, I think, more than once.
I'm pretty sure this is the guy.
But just Google his name and stab.
brendan schaub
Are you sure you're not talking about Darren Till?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
No, Darren Till as well.
I mean, Lee Murray as well.
brendan schaub
Everybody can stab.
joe rogan
Yeah, a lot of people got stabbed.
brendan schaub
Everybody can stab.
joe rogan
But I think he got stabbed.
Yeah, he got stabbed in the heart.
brendan schaub
God damn!
joe rogan
No, I'm serious.
Bellator's...
See, he did fight in Bellator, too.
Ivano reportedly stabbed in the heart, clinging to life support.
Right.
Yeah, so this was like 2011. What year was this?
brendan schaub
2012. He's World Series of Fighting Champions.
joe rogan
It's so good with shit that I shouldn't even know.
Yeah, he got stabbed in the heart.
So he fought for Bellator, and then he went over to World Series, and now he's in the UFC. And his first fight is Junior Dos Santos.
brendan schaub
Damn.
joe rogan
No, that's not his first fight.
No, I feel like he's fought already in the UFC. No way.
brendan schaub
That's his first fight.
joe rogan
Is it?
brendan schaub
That's his first fight for sure.
joe rogan
I must be thinking about the World Series of fighting.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's his first fight.
Because he fought Josh Copeland World Series.
joe rogan
He's a tough motherfucker, this guy though.
Very tough.
unidentified
Tough.
brendan schaub
It depends what junior we get, you know?
joe rogan
Right.
And this is junior that also had a USADA scare.
Something happened with him, but then they let him off the hook, right?
brendan schaub
To me, that's the problem with USADA is they go, this guy flagged, but then if they get proven innocent, there's no big write-up, there's no big announcement.
There should be a fucking siren that goes off.
joe rogan
Maybe he didn't get proven innocent.
Maybe it was, wasn't it diuretic or something like that?
brendan schaub
Yeah, it was diuretic.
joe rogan
Maybe he didn't get proven innocent.
I mean, when was the last time he fought?
Maybe he just hasn't...
brendan schaub
Son of a fucking grip.
joe rogan
Was it Stipe?
Yeah.
Stipe was the last fight?
How long ago was that?
unidentified
May of last year.
brendan schaub
It was a good fight.
joe rogan
So how much time do you get suspended...
brendan schaub
It depends what you're at, but 6-12 months, right?
Depends what you took.
joe rogan
Right, but if you're going to take a diuretic, is it the same as taking juice?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Like if you took a steroid, you get longer, right?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Hmm.
It's all weird, man.
brendan schaub
It's super confusing, right?
joe rogan
It's almost like what they say about the Tour de France.
Tour de France.
Notice how I pronounce it like Brian Callen would?
brendan schaub
Dude, I appreciate that.
joe rogan
Tour de France.
brendan schaub
Tour de France.
joe rogan
They say that it's healthier, actually, to do that with drugs than it's to do without drugs.
It's so brutal on your body that when they take— Don't you think fighting's the same way?
unidentified
Yes.
brendan schaub
Like, it's so taxed on your body?
joe rogan
Yeah, that was my point.
Yeah.
I mean, I really do.
But I don't want to—I wouldn't want everybody to say they have to be on it.
Like, everybody has to be on it.
I wouldn't want...
I mean, that seems like...
brendan schaub
Maybe we shouldn't do it if you have to do that.
joe rogan
Junior Dos Santos admits he's still scared of USADA. I won't say it doesn't bother me.
I wonder what the actual...
jamie vernon
He was flagged, but he was proven innocent.
brendan schaub
That's insane!
Because there's no huge announcement about it.
joe rogan
See, that's dangerous, right?
Because if you...
I mean, how long did he get sat out for?
jamie vernon
It was months, it said, and then that he hasn't fought since then.
He almost fought again right after.
brendan schaub
See, but you're guilty.
It's like if a girl accused you of sexual assault, right off the bat, if that goes on Twitter, you're assumed guilty.
With these guys, it's, oh, he's a drug user, but then I had no idea he was...
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Good to go.
I had no fucking clue.
joe rogan
I know.
I saw the announcement that they were making that fight.
I went, oh, yeah.
Oh, he's back.
brendan schaub
He's back.
joe rogan
Who was he supposed to fight, though?
He was supposed to fight someone else, and it got rescheduled, I believe.
Am I wrong about that?
brendan schaub
Francis Ngannou, no?
It's Francis, right?
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus.
He was supposed to fight Francis.
unidentified
Ho, ho, ho.
joe rogan
It was in September.
It's a motherfucking fight.
brendan schaub
Oh my god.
The one thing I wish the UFC would do better, even if this isn't the UFC, but it'd be great if they did, is announce when a guy is vindicated, when he's good to go.
I need a fucking celebration because it's a birthday, so they're good to go.
The other thing is when guys retire.
So many guys retire, let's do something for them.
A guy like Rashad Evans, UFC Hall of Famer, one of the best guys to ever do it.
Great dude.
He put the UFC on the map.
Let's do something, man.
joe rogan
Which do they do for him?
brendan schaub
I need fucking something.
joe rogan
A celebration of his career?
brendan schaub
I need something, man.
You just can't go, yeah, thanks for the time.
Here's a tweet.
I don't feel like that's right.
Not for everyone, but for a guy like Rashad, we need something.
joe rogan
Won the Ultimate Fighter, won the light heavyweight title.
brendan schaub
Think of his rivalries with fucking John Jones, Quentin Rampage Jackson, he's being two tough fighters to ever fight.
He's had some crazy times, man.
joe rogan
It's funny, man.
Fighters, people think about you as your fights you have late in your career.
They forget the crazy fights that he had earlier in his career.
brendan schaub
Oh my god.
See, I think the ones that he was doing these past, whatever, four or five, which were tough to watch.
I don't think of Rashad like that.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a different guy.
And there's something that happens to fighters or to human beings when they don't want to do it anymore.
And I mean, I think it happens with every job.
But if you don't want to do it anymore and you're a printer, it's not like if you don't want to do it anymore and you're a fighter.
unidentified
Correct.
joe rogan
So if you don't want to do it and you're a fighter and you kind of half-ass it and you're in there with a guy...
You know, like Glover Teixeira, like Anthony Smith.
I mean, he's in there against dangerous guys that are trying to kill him.
brendan schaub
Hungry Lions.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's just, it's a bad place to be.
It's a bad place to be.
You got to be all in in this.
brendan schaub
But it's not a sad thing because, you know, like that ridiculous safety for the Seahawks retiring because they had some neck issues.
He tried to figure out he's a pro baller.
And he retired after eight years.
I went, damn, eight years?
That's a good run, man.
How long has Rashad been fighting?
That's a fucking run, man.
joe rogan
Dude, he won season two as a heavyweight.
brendan schaub
As a heavyweight.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Remember he fought Bad Brad...
unidentified
What was his name?
brendan schaub
Brad Imes.
joe rogan
Brad Imes, that's right.
brendan schaub
And then remember this fight after that with Sean Salmon?
joe rogan
Ooh, the head kick.
brendan schaub
And Dana was giving him a stink eye because the fight was boring.
And then just...
And fucking...
Remember when he knocked out Chuck Liddell?
That was like the first...
And he did this to his heart?
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
He knocked him out with one punch.
brendan schaub
Dude, the special...
When I think about Rashad...
He was so special to me in my career because he was like in our camp and he was like the guy when he won the belt.
I remember he was training with us, won the belt and came back.
And it was the first time where he would speak truth to us because at the time I had a girlfriend.
I was super in love with her.
I didn't want to leave and go to training camp and all this stuff.
He's like, dude, how old are you?
I tell him, he's like, I'm telling you, it's going to be different, man.
You got to make decisions now based off this.
And he would just drop knowledge about...
The professional life of fighting.
I remember when he won the belt, he was sitting down, he came back like a week after training, and I go, dude, fucking crazy.
Did you just feel like out of this world?
He goes, I feel the exact same, man.
Nothing feels different.
I feel the exact same.
He goes, it's cool, and you want this goal, and you achieved it, and I have the belt.
He goes, back to work, man.
He goes, I thought I'd feel completely different.
He goes, gotta get better.
Now I gotta get better.
He goes, I feel just like you do, man.
I felt right before I won the belt.
joe rogan
He fought Machida when Machida was Machida.
brendan schaub
Machida, Machida.
unidentified
Remember that?
joe rogan
Dude, there was a time for a couple of years where Machida was just putting on people, man.
brendan schaub
Scares guy in the UFC for a while.
joe rogan
He was such a weird guy to fight, man.
Because he'd be like doing this with you.
unidentified
Nightmare.
joe rogan
He'd be doing all this weird movement.
And then he would blitz in on you.
brendan schaub
Nobody knew what to do.
joe rogan
Knockout power, man.
In his last fight with Vitor...
Like, good lord.
brendan schaub
That was one of the best knockouts ever.
joe rogan
See, pull that up.
Pull that Lyoto Machida KO's Vitor Belfort.
brendan schaub
And now he's in Bellator.
Bellator making some waves, son.
joe rogan
Getting saucy over in Bellator, right?
How saucy?
How saucy do you think he's going to get?
brendan schaub
Dude, whatever Vitor's on.
joe rogan
I think Bruce Lee type saucy.
unidentified
Fuck yeah.
joe rogan
He's going to look like Ryan Gordon.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about he knocks him out?
He's almost too respectful.
unidentified
Boom.
joe rogan
Oh, he knew, man.
brendan schaub
He knew.
joe rogan
I mean, he was out cold.
brendan schaub
I'd almost rather have you celebrate my knockout.
joe rogan
I know, right?
unidentified
Douche!
brendan schaub
Like, this is embarrassing.
This makes it more embarrassing.
Hands on the hip.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And then bowed to him while his fucking eyes rolled back.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Damn.
brendan schaub
And then, you know, I guess the UFC wanted to work with him a little bit, but he just went to Bellator because he goes, you saw it as way too strict, man.
unidentified
I'm out.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Let's see.
Can we see in real time?
Or they only have it here.
Look at this, man.
Look how he fakes that in.
unidentified
Boop!
joe rogan
Boom.
One more time?
What's interesting is Vitor always would talk about standing square.
When I first started trading at Carlson Gracies, In 1996. Old school.
It was before Vitor made his UFC debut.
That's when I first started Jiu-Jitsu.
And Vitor was 19. The phenom.
He was always talking about...
Oh, here it is in real time.
Look at how he moves, man.
Lyoto's so sneaky.
Look at that.
That is phenomenal.
Give me that one more time, son.
In real time.
brendan schaub
Then he gets down on his knees and bows.
joe rogan
Look at Machida, the way he's moving here.
So sneaky.
I mean, he didn't even see that coming.
He's looking at these crazy hand movements.
brendan schaub
And remember before this, he beat Andrews, who's a big up-and-coming football player in Alabama.
He beat him, starts Vitor, and went, I'm out.
Now he's at Bellator.
You get Roy McDonald, Gegard Mousasi.
There's some fun fucking fights over there.
joe rogan
Well, I think he sent his brother over there to test the waters.
Like, tell me how many times they make you pee.
brendan schaub
Yeah, let me know.
How's that going, bro?
Get that Ryan Bader rematch.
There's some cool fights over there.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Especially if they let him get saucy.
He's 40 years old.
brendan schaub
The other scary thing about Bellator is that Dazon, Dazon, Dazon, or whatever the fuck they're going to call it, is giving them, they gave them a nine-figure deal.
joe rogan
Who?
brendan schaub
You ever heard about this DAZN deal?
joe rogan
I don't know what you're saying.
brendan schaub
DAZN. What is that?
It's their streaming service.
So now they signed with them.
So now Bellator, you remember how they had tape delays?
Now you can stream it digitally.
You get that now.
For free?
High quality.
I think you have to pay for it.
How much?
I don't know.
joe rogan
But you can stream it on your phone?
brendan schaub
Their first one's going to be free.
Their first welterweight big fight is going to be free.
joe rogan
Everybody wins in Bellator deal with days into stream live events.
So think about who they got, right?
Okay, they got Gegard, who his people just contacted me.
I'm gonna get Gegard Mousasi on the podcast.
unidentified
Love it.
brendan schaub
He's fighting Roy McDonald.
joe rogan
Yep, so they got Gegard, they got Roy McDonald, two absolute world-class fighters.
Absolute world-class, top of the food chain, maybe the best 185 and the best 170 in the world, certainly in the argument, right?
Then, you know, look, Ryan Bader's never looked better.
Ryan Bader's never looked better.
brendan schaub
He's in a heavyweight tournament right now.
joe rogan
He may not ever beat Jon Jones, but he's never looked better.
You know what I'm saying?
brendan schaub
Phenomenal.
joe rogan
I mean, he looks fucking incredible.
When he knocked out King Moe...
brendan schaub
He could be heavyweight champion.
joe rogan
He could be heavyweight champion.
brendan schaub
And he's light heavyweight champion right now.
joe rogan
Who knows, man?
Maybe him going up to heavyweight would be better for him.
I mean, maybe he doesn't have to cut weight.
Maybe he could fight more, especially as an older guy in his 30s.
brendan schaub
If he can beat Mitrione...
That says a lot.
joe rogan
Well, he's really gotten better and better and better.
He's never stopped getting better.
Then, of course, you got Paul Daley, one of the most exciting motherfuckers in any weight division, who's got a nuclear missile for a left hand.
And then you got Michael Vennon Page.
brendan schaub
Phenomenal.
joe rogan
Well, Paul Bailey's last fight with Fitch was brutal, man.
brendan schaub
Fitch is going to Fitch, though, bro.
joe rogan
Okay, but why make that fight?
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying.
Why do that fight?
What are we doing here?
joe rogan
Fitch is going to Fitch, bro.
And why would you diminish Daley in terms of marketability after the Larkin fight?
So he KOs Larkin, who Larkin always felt like was a dark horse at 170. Especially after he fucked up Neil Magny.
brendan schaub
Smoked Neil Magny.
joe rogan
I was like, dude, this guy is something.
brendan schaub
And then bounced.
joe rogan
He's got a lot of weird skills, man.
Larkin's got a weird way of moving.
He's got that oblique kick that he does to the body.
brendan schaub
But then he struggled in Bellator.
He came over there, you know, he's fighting with Lima.
Lima's a motherfucker, so he struggled with him.
joe rogan
Lima beat him, but it was close.
brendan schaub
He lost two in a row.
joe rogan
And then he got KO'd.
Yeah.
See, man, you're in a slugfest.
brendan schaub
Then he won his last one.
joe rogan
You're in a slugfest with Paul Daly, dude.
That dude has got something crazy in his left hand.
brendan schaub
But you know they're doing Paul Daly, Michael Vennon Page next.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
Paul Daly signs new Bellator contract, accepts Joe Shilling's call-out!
unidentified
Oh, Jesus!
joe rogan
Joe Shilling versus Paul Daly in MMA. Yes, Joe Shilling.
Shilling's fighting MMA now.
Paul Daly's not taking anybody down.
They're gonna stand, son.
That's interesting.
brendan schaub
If it was a kickboxing match, I'd be more excited.
joe rogan
But do you think Paul Dale's going to try to take him down after all the shit he talks about guys taking him down?
brendan schaub
I don't think there's a chance in hell.
I'd rather see Joe Schilling fight in kickboxing.
One of the best kickboxers in the world.
MMA's tough for him.
joe rogan
He wants to fight MMA now.
That's what he's doing.
brendan schaub
I'll watch it.
Here's to him for sure.
joe rogan
The problem that Joe's been having is they don't give him enough money in kickboxing.
Bellator kickboxing even, it's just not materializing.
brendan schaub
Because he's not with Glory anymore, right?
joe rogan
He's Bellator.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I know, but he was in Glory, or no.
joe rogan
Right, yeah.
He was in glory, and then he came over to Bellator a couple years ago, and he's fought well.
He's had some great fights.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I loved watching him fight kickboxing.
joe rogan
But for whatever reason, Bellator kickboxing just does not have the appeal.
That's crazy to me, man.
I do not understand.
I do not understand.
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
I do.
I do not understand.
brendan schaub
I do.
joe rogan
If boxing is popular, how is kickboxing not popular?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
I watch boxing.
I'd much rather watch it than kickboxing.
joe rogan
Did you watch Rico Verhoeven's last fight?
brendan schaub
Sure did.
joe rogan
Fucking that was amazing.
brendan schaub
It was cool.
joe rogan
Against Ben Sadiq.
brendan schaub
I'm not stopping my plans for it though.
You're not stopping your Friday night for it.
joe rogan
I would if I didn't have shit to do.
brendan schaub
I know.
But yeah.
But have shit to do.
joe rogan
We've done Glory Fight Companions.
brendan schaub
Have we?
joe rogan
Yeah.
I did a Glory Fight Companion with Joe Schilling and who else did it?
brendan schaub
I was in here.
joe rogan
Well, listen, you would have been here.
True.
brendan schaub
I never miss Fight Companions.
joe rogan
You're gonna make fun of the things I love.
Like, I made fun of your soccer.
I see what you're doing.
brendan schaub
Full circle.
joe rogan
You're coming down on me.
brendan schaub
Full circle, sir.
I gotta find something.
joe rogan
Dude, I love kickboxing, man.
brendan schaub
No, I enjoy kickboxing.
I think Glory puts out the best product.
I think Glory's phenomenal.
joe rogan
I'm actually bummed out that Lion Fight is not on AXS TV anymore.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
They lost their deal with AXS TV. Well, if you had done Fight Companions for Lion Fight, it'd probably still be around.
I think we did one.
No?
No.
I think we only did Glory.
brendan schaub
Come on, bro.
joe rogan
Five Companion for Glory.
Bam.
That's right.
Eve Edwards and Joe Schilling.
Son?
brendan schaub
2016. Son?
joe rogan
I would've done it since then.
Just didn't have time, man.
Okay?
brendan schaub
It's because it's kickboxing.
joe rogan
I still love it.
brendan schaub
But you would shut fucking down for, you know...
joe rogan
Well, we only did one Bellator, too.
We only done one Bellator, ever.
brendan schaub
What was that?
That was a big Bellator.
joe rogan
Yeah, who was that?
Who was fighting?
It was all KOs and submissions.
It was an amazing night.
unidentified
Did Shane Carwin fight?
joe rogan
No, Shane hasn't fought.
How dare you?
You shut your mouth.
unidentified
Jamie's like, who's better, Dr. J or LeBron?
joe rogan
You fucking dork.
How dare you, Shane Carwin.
Shane Carwin's never fought in Bellatorian.
unidentified
Ever.
brendan schaub
You son of a bitch.
joe rogan
You son of a bitch.
unidentified
The wrong name came to my head.
I apologize.
brendan schaub
I'm trying to think who the fuck was.
It was a big Bellator.
You, me, and Eddie did.
It was a phenomenal night.
joe rogan
Was it Fedor Mitrion?
unidentified
It was 198, but it's not...
joe rogan
Was it Fedor Frank Mir?
unidentified
Frank Mir.
joe rogan
Oh, yes!
brendan schaub
Bombs on bombs on bombs.
joe rogan
Yeah, Fedor Frank Mir was chaos.
brendan schaub
Yes, that was a good night.
joe rogan
You know, Frank Mir, I really appreciate that guy.
I appreciate the way he thinks and talks about fighting, too.
And one of the things he said is, like, remember Fedor hip-tossed him, slammed him on his back, and he said he just got up and just wanted to swing at him.
His ego got the best of him.
And that wasn't the plan.
The plan wasn't just...
Recklessly abandoned and engaged on him.
brendan schaub
No, why would you do that with Fedor?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
But he almost beat him.
joe rogan
He almost beat him.
brendan schaub
He had him wobble.
joe rogan
Well, this is the thing.
I think Fedor gets you into his groove.
Like, he did that with Arlovsky.
He's done it with a lot of people.
He gets you into his groove and then he cracks you with something.
brendan schaub
Game over.
joe rogan
He's done it to Brett Rogers.
But I think that I was curious to see how that fight was taking place.
Because in the beginning, Frank was catching him.
brendan schaub
He caught him, yeah, and then rushed in.
But Frank also said ring rust is real.
He's like, dude, I need the experience.
I haven't felt that kind of nerves and stuff going into a fight in a long time.
It's been a long layoff for me.
joe rogan
How long has he been off?
Two years?
brendan schaub
Two years.
He's like, I just need to get back in there.
You know Josh Barnett's supposed to sign with him.
joe rogan
With Bellator?
brendan schaub
Scott Coker's on the phone with Barnett, and they've worked together before, so you know that boy Barnett gets in there.
joe rogan
Yeah, Mario Batali's in the kitchen right now making some sauce.
unidentified
He's chopping up some basil and some garlic.
brendan schaub
For their heavyweights, it's terrible.
joe rogan
Get saucy.
Let them get saucy.
brendan schaub
Barnett saucy against Ryan Bader?
joe rogan
Well, who do they have?
They have Bader, they have...
brendan schaub
Jill Sonnen?
joe rogan
Chael Sonnen, Frank Mir.
Remember when Josh stopped Frank Mir?
How does he realize how good Josh is?
brendan schaub
Josh is a nightmare.
joe rogan
He's a nightmare.
brendan schaub
Remember when he beat the brakes off Roy Nelson?
joe rogan
Beat the shit out of him for five rounds.
brendan schaub
Beat the shit out of him.
joe rogan
And showed some serious cardio.
Serious cardio to do that for five rounds.
Yeah, Josh is a nightmare for all those dudes.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's phenomenal.
joe rogan
Yeah, he might be Bellator heavyweight champion.
brendan schaub
He could.
joe rogan
Especially if you let the man sleep in, you know what I'm saying?
brendan schaub
Why wouldn't you?
joe rogan
Oh, just trust his pain.
brendan schaub
Don't hate on him, man.
unidentified
Just look at it.
joe rogan
It's all yellow and healthy.
brendan schaub
Older with just skills for days.
joe rogan
Leave him alone.
Yeah, that's the problem.
When those old dudes get a hold of that juice, they got all those years and years of learning and experience, and then all of a sudden their body starts moving like a young man's body again.
That's why TRT Vitor was so fascinating.
brendan schaub
He might go over to Bellator.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Well, he might sign with Ryzen, but he might go to Bellator too.
Even Bellator for Vitor, he's like, dude, you know you guys test a little bit?
I don't even want that.
Bellator's test is too strict for me.
I don't want that.
joe rogan
Well, that was one of the things that Rory, not Rory, that Gegard Mousasi was talking about guys fighting him.
Who was he bringing up that he would need extra testing from?
He was just talking about this.
Gegard was just talking about this.
brendan schaub
At 205?
Or 85?
joe rogan
Do you remember?
At 85. Who was it?
Machida.
That's right.
Machida.
That's right.
Because he lost a decision to Machida over in Bellator.
He wants extra drug testing for Leo to Machida if they rematch.
I don't trust that guy.
He said, whoa.
brendan schaub
Bellator's going, no problem, man.
We'll make sure we're on it.
joe rogan
Looks like pee.
Tastes like pee.
brendan schaub
Instead of once, we did it twice.
joe rogan
We let him know six months in advance when he's going to be tested.
brendan schaub
We give him a heads up.
He's getting tested a lot.
joe rogan
Yeah, we post-dated all his urine samples.
brendan schaub
He has a full schedule.
You want it, too?
joe rogan
Yeah, we have 12 urine samples.
We took them all on the same day, but we got them.
brendan schaub
That's what they need to do, man.
Even that's too strict for fucking VTour, though.
joe rogan
Hey, have you heard anything about Tony Ferguson?
How's his knee doing?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
What is going on with him?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
I've heard shit.
Eddie Bradwell just had shoulder surgery a couple weeks ago.
He just took his, I think actually a week ago, just took his stitches out.
brendan schaub
It must have been bad for him to have surgery because I remember the last time I saw him at the Tommy store.
He's going like this backstage.
I'm good, man.
I'm good.
He's doing this.
joe rogan
Well, it must not have been good.
He must have done something and heard it again and realized he just should go ahead and bite the bullet and get the surgery.
brendan schaub
I need to get them stem cells in this left knee.
joe rogan
Team Dagestan breaking.
If the negotiations on the fight...
Okay, this is Russian translation.
Team Khabib versus Notorious MMA. Will not be achieved, then next week UFC announces fight Team Khabib vs.
Tony Ferguson XT UFC 229 October 6th.
How can he come back that quick?
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
brendan schaub
This isn't even real.
I mean, MMA Team Dagestan, that doesn't work.
joe rogan
Yeah, but wait a minute.
Let me think of, like, when Tony...
Go to Tony Ferguson's Instagram.
brendan schaub
They showed him, like, breakdancing, right?
joe rogan
When did Tony Ferguson have a surgery?
That was before Brooklyn.
So before Brooklyn was what?
How many months ago was that?
Two months ago?
brendan schaub
Correct.
There's no way.
joe rogan
How does he do that?
brendan schaub
And from what I hear, Conor vs.
Khabib is happening.
It's fucking happening.
This year.
joe rogan
Really?
That's what you hear?
That's how the UFC gets him out of jail?
brendan schaub
I don't think they give a fuck.
I mean, we're finding out what's going to happen in July, right?
joe rogan
So just go to the actual images.
Yeah, go back.
And then scroll down.
Let me see that one right there, the way he's moving around.
There's a video.
Let me see that.
This is him recently.
unidentified
Hmm.
brendan schaub
It's fucking slow.
Yeah, he's just controlled.
I mean, Tony's an absolute freak.
So when he's ready to go, he'll be ready to go.
But it almost hurts him because he's such a freak and he wants it so bad he might not be ready, you know?
joe rogan
Right.
And he might hurt himself.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
But he's got to be with state-of-the-art guys, man.
brendan schaub
It's Tony Ferguson.
joe rogan
There was that one up there with the...
So he's doing that one right there.
No, right...
You just had it.
There you go.
Look at this.
So he's getting on his knees and crawling across mats.
Shit.
This does not totally look like a guy who's ready to fight, though.
This looks like he's just breaking down scar tissue.
brendan schaub
That'd be a little tough.
joe rogan
Strength, flexibility, motivation, creativity increasing tremendously.
Not 100%, but close.
Champ, strap.
unidentified
11 weeks out.
joe rogan
11 weeks out.
That's not much time, man.
That's not even three months.
That's a weird thing.
It's like, you know, these guys, they have incredible willpower and incredible endurance and incredible, like, just the focus and drive and discipline to get better, but your body has to heal.
brendan schaub
If I'm the UFC, I'm paying to, and I don't know how stem cells work, but if I'm dating, I'm paying for Tony C, a stem cell doctor, every week.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't even know if that would totally help.
I mean, maybe it would help.
I think everything helps a little bit, right?
It's not like you can really measure it.
Like, you've got a body chart where I can look at your diagnosis and go, oh yeah, look, after we shot the stem cells in, look, your number here.
brendan schaub
It's definitely going to help, though.
It's better than eating fucking fruit roll-ups.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'm sure he's...
I don't know what he's doing.
I would assume he's doing something.
brendan schaub
I would do growth.
I would do a shitload of growth, which you might get flagged for.
I don't know what they're doing with testing, but...
joe rogan
I don't think you could really test for growth.
I'm honest with you.
brendan schaub
You have to do blood work.
joe rogan
I don't think they're really...
Yeah, man.
I think it's real iffy whether or not they can catch you doing that.
brendan schaub
To catch growth in half-life, you have to do blood work.
So I don't know how they test these days.
joe rogan
How do they test when they randomly show up?
Do they get blood and urine or just urine?
brendan schaub
I have no idea.
I've left before it happened.
joe rogan
So if it's just urine, those guys could probably get away with it.
unidentified
Correct.
joe rogan
But such a dangerous move.
If they flag you with it and then you're out for a year.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but if I'm injured and I have a doctor's prescription for HGH to recover, I'm doing all the HGH stem cells.
joe rogan
But would they let you do that?
Would the UFC allow it?
You can't even have a fucking IV. While he's going through all this, he can't take an IV. How lame is that?
If he feels dehydrated...
unidentified
How lame is that?
brendan schaub
How stupid is that?
What are we doing?
joe rogan
Well, how about this?
What if he wants to get an IV NAD drip, which will help him recover?
brendan schaub
I know.
joe rogan
What if he wants to get an IV... That's not even outlawed.
What if he wants to get IV vitamins, like a vitamin infusion?
You can do that.
brendan schaub
But if you're in the UFC business, why wouldn't you want that guy to be on all the HGH he can get just to recover his knee so he can fight Khabib to fight for 155, which we're all vying to see?
That's good for business.
Who gives a flying fuck how he's doing to get there?
joe rogan
You'd want him for sure on the stuff that you can do, like platelet-rich plasma or, you know, dude, send him down to Panama.
Fucking like a David Lee Roth song.
Panama!
I agree.
The thing about Panama and going to Dr. Neil Reardon and doing all that shit that Mel Gibson was talking about on the podcast with his dad, that stuff's legal.
It's legal in Panama.
You go down there and they'll do shit that...
brendan schaub
TJ went down there, right?
joe rogan
TJ's gone down there twice.
He's gone in there twice.
brendan schaub
And it's all legal.
If TJ's doing it, it's legal.
joe rogan
It's totally above board.
You're allowed to do it.
brendan schaub
I'd fly that fucking doctor in here and I'd have...
joe rogan
You can't do it here.
You have to do it in Panama.
Because they're doing things that aren't legal in the United States.
brendan schaub
Alright, either way.
Private jet Tony's ass there.
You know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
brendan schaub
Anyone who gets hurt, we got this.
We'll cover this bill.
joe rogan
There's not enough money though.
See, they said that the UFC made more money last year than ever before, right?
It's like a record year.
A lot of it was like all these deals.
But do you know how much money they must have to pay every month for that loan?
They have a $4 billion purchase.
That's so much money.
Yeah, but they just signed a huge fucking nut with ESPN and the streaming deal, ESPN+. But do you think they have enough money where they could fly guys down to Panama every time everybody gets hurt?
brendan schaub
All 500?
I'm talking about special treatment.
I'm talking Tom Brady.
If I'm the New England Patriots, I'm flying down there by any means necessary.
joe rogan
Okay, when do you take it off?
When do you not allow it?
Do you let Michael Chiesa fly down there?
Nope.
You're shaking your head no.
Damn.
What if he strangles Pettis?
brendan schaub
No.
You son of a bitch.
What's he ranked?
joe rogan
You son of a bitch.
We'll have to find out.
brendan schaub
It's also, Pettis hasn't exactly been on a hot streak.
joe rogan
Okay, Kevin Lee.
Send Kevin Lee down there?
brendan schaub
Probably.
We'll send Kevin down there.
He beat Michael, didn't he?
Choked him out, didn't he?
He did, didn't he?
joe rogan
Kid's got a lot of star power, too, doesn't he?
brendan schaub
I'm like a shitty promoter.
There's levels to this game where if LeBron gets hurt, we're flying him somewhere.
joe rogan
Michael Chiesa, number nine.
Kevin Lee, number five.
Okay, do you fly down Dustin Poirier?
Ooh, you don't.
This is tough, right?
unidentified
Bro, you give me trouble with all these fucking guys.
brendan schaub
Dude, I gotta look at pay-per-view numbers.
No, he's lost two.
We're not flying down.
joe rogan
Wow, you don't fly him down.
No, you're on fight nights.
brendan schaub
You're on fight nights.
jamie vernon
Can you charter a plane and get a bunch of them in at once?
brendan schaub
See, now you're talking.
joe rogan
From the Michael Johnson fight with Justin Gagee, he gets flown down for the rest of his fucking life.
brendan schaub
Can we inject brain cells?
joe rogan
Yes!
We're gonna go through the ears.
brendan schaub
If we inject brain cells in there...
joe rogan
We're gonna get him to lie with his head on one side, we're gonna fill his ears up, let it soak into his brain.
You know there's holes in his ear.
And then lie down on the other side, fill them up with stem cells.
Just go right through the nose.
We're going through the whole body.
brendan schaub
I mean, I'm giving Khabib, Connor, Tony, Eddie Alvarez, and Nate Diaz a fucking frequent flyer card into that bitch.
joe rogan
Do you know that that's something that Kyle Kingsbury said he did?
He did some sort of nasal exosomes, right?
Do you remember him talking about that?
unidentified
Sure.
joe rogan
Did you talk about that on the podcast or off the podcast?
He's into all kinds of crazy, state-of-the-art shit.
He's a big fella.
That's a big fella, that Kyle Kingsbury.
Super athlete, too.
brendan schaub
Does everything to try and get the best body possible.
joe rogan
Well, now that he works on it, too, that's his job.
He's on top of everything new that's coming out, what can help, and what's the newest, latest, greatest shit.
brendan schaub
So you're saying he injected testosterone right into his nose?
joe rogan
No, I think it's exosomes.
brendan schaub
What's that?
joe rogan
I think it's the shit that makes stem cells effective.
brendan schaub
Into his nose?
joe rogan
Was he talking about that?
Was it Ben Greenfield?
God damn it.
I think it was Ben Greenfield.
This is why I think it was.
Okay, now I remember.
brendan schaub
Ben Greenfield?
joe rogan
Ben Greenfield crashed his bike hard and really hurt himself.
brendan schaub
Hit his nose?
joe rogan
Yeah, he hurt his head.
brendan schaub
Okay.
joe rogan
And one of the things he did, that's who it was.
One of the things he did to mitigate CTE is have exosomes shot up his nose.
He did it IV, had it done up his nose, and he did like a full-body exosome treatment.
brendan schaub
Did it help?
He doesn't know.
joe rogan
Do you know who Ben Greenfield is?
brendan schaub
I've listened to him on your podcast.
joe rogan
You've got to have him on your show.
brendan schaub
On Fire and a Kid?
joe rogan
Yes.
First of all, he's a super genius.
Tell Brian to shut the fuck up while he's talking.
I can't.
brendan schaub
I feel like he should be on Brian's podcast.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
He's also a super athlete.
He does a lot of crazy shit, like Tough Mudders and all that stuff, but he's on the ball when it comes to the latest and greatest stuff.
He did a whole article for, was it...
In Esquire or when he shot his dick up with stem cells and talked about all the different things he did to his dick.
brendan schaub
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Yeah, PRP and stem cells.
unidentified
Into his dick?
joe rogan
Into his dick, yeah.
And he self-administered it.
brendan schaub
His dick has, like, gills now?
joe rogan
And he's a super genius.
brendan schaub
Oh, man, then.
But Brian will take over the conversation.
unidentified
Interesting guy.
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
Tell Brian to shut the fuck up.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
Or leave him at home.
brendan schaub
I know.
Or tell Brian we don't have the podcast that day.
joe rogan
You know, the French Alps where they train the skiers.
Hey!
brendan schaub
God damn it!
unidentified
Greenfield's here!
joe rogan
He's here just today!
brendan schaub
Please let him talk.
joe rogan
Let him go.
brendan schaub
Please let him talk.
joe rogan
When Ben's here, I just wind him up and let him drop science on me.
brendan schaub
Dude, that dinner that he posted with all those smart people, were you guys trying to solve the world crisis?
Or what was going on there?
Where'd you guys eat?
joe rogan
Eating?
Talking shit?
brendan schaub
Like, you talk shit like we talk shit?
Probably not.
unidentified
No!
joe rogan
They're smart guys, man.
brendan schaub
They're smart shit though, right?
joe rogan
No, there's some shit talking.
Especially, Sam Harris is very funny.
Believe it or not.
Is he?
Yeah, he's very funny.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Smart dude.
Yeah, he's real funny.
unidentified
All of them are fucking smart, John.
joe rogan
Eric Weinstein is very funny.
brendan schaub
And then Peterson was there, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, and Jordan Rubin, or Dave Rubin, rather, is, Dave Rubin's a stand-up.
And then Jordan Peterson can be funny sometimes.
He's just insanely smart, though.
brendan schaub
Does one person start the topic and then you guys go around like a round table?
joe rogan
No, we were all just talking.
And sometimes we were all talking together and a couple times we broke off into separate conversations.
brendan schaub
Yeah, you go into groups, don't you?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
There's a lot of people.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know?
brendan schaub
Those big dinners are tough because you don't really talk to them.
You break off in groups.
Who's close to you, you know?
joe rogan
Yeah.
It was fun, though.
It's fun knowing people that are way smarter than you.
brendan schaub
That's my entire friend.
All my friends are smarting me.
I thought about this and went, oh, wow, everyone's smarting me.
unidentified
That's cool.
brendan schaub
That's what you want, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, you don't want to be the one who has the answers.
brendan schaub
If you're the smartest guy in the group, that's not good.
Just like you don't want to be the toughest guy in the room.
You don't want to be that guy.
You need tough training partners.
You also need tough training partners to get good.
You know what I'm saying?
You don't want to be the best fighter in your gym.
joe rogan
Well, really interesting people, it makes you crave interesting conversations, makes you more interested in different subjects.
They motivate you the same way, like, if you were training with Brian Ortega, you'd want jiu-jitsu to be tighter.
You'd get motivated by watching them.
brendan schaub
It's like I did a podcast, I think, Drinking Bros with Matt Best and those guys, and they're all super high-level military guys.
They're asking me about fighting or whatever, and we're doing our dick jokes.
I'm like, hold on, because I want to hear what they say about the military, because they have their black belts in military and all that combat experience.
So I flipped the script on them.
It was fucking fascinating.
Your listeners are going to hate this because they probably know this, but we went by missions and how it goes down.
I was fucking fascinated, man.
I don't want to talk.
I want to hear them talk.
joe rogan
Have you ever done a podcast with Jocko?
brendan schaub
No!
Do you know Jocko?
I don't know him at all.
I woke up early on the other day and felt like tweeting like, what's up now, bitch?
joe rogan
You woke up earlier than Jocko?
What time were you up?
brendan schaub
I think like four or something.
But he posted he was up at like five something.
joe rogan
Jocko's a caricature.
He's been on the carnivore diet before it was the carnivore diet.
He just eats steak.
brendan schaub
I look at him, I think, that's steak.
unidentified
He's all steak.
brendan schaub
I need to have him on the podcast for sure.
joe rogan
He would be a great guest.
brendan schaub
I know.
I think someone goes, man, we need to get Jocko on fire and the kid.
Let's do it.
And he goes, I'm there, but we just got to figure it out.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'll give you his number after the show.
But he's...
He's one of those dudes where you, if you read his stuff enough and pay attention, it will increase your motivation.
It just will.
He's the real deal.
You know, he has this video called, you ever seen this video, Good?
You ever seen Good?
brendan schaub
No, please play it.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
brendan schaub
How long is it though?
joe rogan
It's gonna give you a rock hard boner.
What is it, a couple minutes?
Two minutes long?
brendan schaub
It's tough to motivate me.
joe rogan
It's one of my favorite, I've watched this at least once every six months.
I'm not bullshitting.
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
We played it on the podcast already.
Go full screen and give me some volume and don't start it prematurely, you son of a bitch.
Let it load up.
jocko willink
One of my direct subordinates, one of my guys that worked for me, he would call me up or call me aside with some...
brendan schaub
What's his background?
joe rogan
Navy SEAL commander.
brendan schaub
I'm in.
Say no more, fam.
joe rogan
Okay.
unidentified
Direct subordinates, one of my guys that worked for me.
He would call me up or pull me aside with some major problem, some issue that was going on.
And he'd say, boss, we got this and that and the other thing.
And I'd look at him and I'd say, good.
And finally one day he was telling me about some issue that he was having, some problem, and he said, I already know what you're going to say.
And I said, well, what am I going to say?
He said, you're going to say good.
He said, that's what you always say.
When something is wrong and going bad, you always just look at me and say, good.
And I said, well, yeah.
jocko willink
When things are going bad, there's going to be some good that's going to come from it.
unidentified
Didn't get the new high-speed gear we wanted?
Good.
Didn't get promoted?
Good.
More time to get better.
Oh, mission got canceled?
Good.
We can focus on another one.
Didn't get funded.
Didn't get the job you wanted.
Got injured.
Sprained my ankle.
Got tapped out?
Good.
Got beat?
Good.
Learned.
Unexpected problems?
Good.
We have the opportunity to figure out a solution.
That's it.
When things are going bad, Don't get all bummed out.
Don't get startled.
Don't get frustrated.
If you can say the word good, guess what?
It means you're still alive.
It means you're still breathing.
And if you're still breathing, well now, you still got some fight left in you.
So get up, Dust off.
Reload.
Recalibrate.
Re-engage.
who go out on the attack.
Gangster.
joe rogan
Dude, when it comes from a guy like him, it has a different meaning behind it.
brendan schaub
Different meaning, yeah.
When those guys speak, I listen, man.
joe rogan
I hear that sometimes when I run.
When I'm running hills and I'm tired, I just go, good.
brendan schaub
Good.
joe rogan
I just keep going.
brendan schaub
Good.
unidentified
Tired?
joe rogan
Good.
unidentified
You're supposed to be.
joe rogan
You're working hard.
Good.
brendan schaub
Fight with your girlfriend?
Good.
Bring it, bitch.
joe rogan
It's having that attitude, though, like making that switch in your mind to just look at things in a different way.
Everybody can do that.
Everybody.
That's not unattainable.
When you listen to something like that, the real beauty of something that inspires you like that is you hear it, and then you can actually put it into action.
brendan schaub
But do you ever have a problem being self-motivated, Joe?
Don't get me wrong, that's fucking fantastic.
I've never been a guy who's been drawn to the motivational stuff.
I just never have been.
I've never needed it.
I've been blessed in that regards.
I don't know what it is.
joe rogan
I like it.
brendan schaub
Even when bad things happen, I'm always super positive.
That's great.
When I say bad things, I'm not...
Comparing my bad situations to fucking jock in Ward.
I'm talking whether it's when I lost a fight, if something's going wrong, in stand-up, something business-wise, I don't get something.
I'm usually all good.
I'm usually pretty positive.
joe rogan
You are.
You're a very positive guy.
I think that's one of the secrets to your success.
Is that you look at things in a good way, and you have confidence, and you act, you know?
I mean, I tell all these young stand-ups, I go, Brendan Child's been doing comedy for two fucking years.
You gotta look what he's doing.
This is when an athlete goes after something.
You have the work ethic of an athlete and the mindset of an athlete, but you're also funny.
See, the thing about comedy is a lot of people that are really funny are also, we're personal saboteurs, we're self-sabotage, we are impulsive, a lot of times get addicted to things.
The type of person that becomes a stand-up is a person who says ridiculous shit.
They say things that are socially unacceptable things because they know it's going to get a rise.
They hang around with a bunch of other degenerates like you and me hang around.
This is a certain style of person, like a Joey Diaz style of person, but you're an athlete who has those attributes.
So for you, what I tell young guys in particular, I go, this highlights the importance of discipline.
It doesn't make you less funny.
That's a cop-out.
A lot of people think that discipline makes you less funny.
Comics have these weird cop-outs.
You don't want to be a guy who works hard, you want to be a guy who's funny.
Some guys are funny and it's effortless.
That's nonsense.
Working hard in everything.
You should work hard in everything.
Everything that you try to do, you should put...
The more attention and more focus you put on it, the better you're gonna get at it.
brendan schaub
Correct.
Yeah, I just don't want to be a loser.
You know what I'm saying?
I also just...
I don't want to embarrass myself or people either.
If they pay for a ticket, I want to be like, dude, Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
Well, also, you can do it.
You can do it.
unidentified
Correct.
joe rogan
You know?
You can do it.
So if you can do it, just keep doing it.
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
Get better at it.
Keep working at it.
Keep swinging.
It's a fascinating thing to do for a living, man.
You know?
brendan schaub
It's the best.
unidentified
Fuck!
brendan schaub
Are you kidding me?
joe rogan
But discipline, man.
So I've never necessarily had a problem self-motivating, but I've always drawn inspiration from a lot of different sources.
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, I go to The Rock's Instagram page every day.
Every day.
No bullshit.
Because he's always hustling.
I see The Rock.
He's always fucking flying around in a jet.
He's always in the gym.
brendan schaub
Just a little bit.
But The Rock inspires you, but Kevin Hart doesn't on jets?
joe rogan
No, he does too.
Really?
Not on jets.
The jet thing is I get that.
brendan schaub
That's funny.
joe rogan
But when Kevin Hart's in the gym all the time, that inspires me for sure.
brendan schaub
To work out.
joe rogan
He's constantly in the gym.
Doesn't mean I'm going to work out because of Kevin Hart.
unidentified
No, I get that.
joe rogan
I was going to work out already.
brendan schaub
But you're just like, fuck yeah, let's get it.
joe rogan
I like watching people kick ass.
There he is.
Bam!
brendan schaub
I also like people kicking out.
I don't hate anyone.
I root for everyone.
It's almost a problem where I root for everyone.
I almost think it was my downfall as a fighter and as a football player.
I would root for everyone.
I didn't hate anybody.
I want everyone to do well.
But it helps me in comedy.
I want everything to be good.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I did a show at the Ice House and they're like, you need someone to open up for you.
And so I called Emily at the Comedy Store.
I'm like, hey, do you have two door guys who are vying for spots?
She's like, fuck yeah.
Give me a list.
So every show I'm always trying to bring the door guys in.
joe rogan
That's beautiful.
brendan schaub
I'm like, how can I? You know what I'm saying?
It's like, I want everyone to do well.
joe rogan
That's beautiful.
brendan schaub
Because when I look at...
What inspires me is when you post a video in the crowds in Idaho or whatever, or Chris D'Elia, or the crew, when guys are doing...
To me, it's trying to keep up with that.
Because I feel like we're in this race, right?
We're in this race together, and everyone's fucking...
joe rogan
Beast and animals and you gotta you're gonna fall back in the pack man be a loser and get fucking eaten by these lions or you keep running with these monsters Yeah, that's how I look at it Well, it's it's a great attitude to have in anything if you want the people around you to do well It's a great attitude to have with everything that's been that's one of the major secrets to my success for sure is have a bunch of people around you that are kicking ass and then like Helping them.
Helping everybody.
Promoting everybody.
Letting everybody know.
Encouraging everybody.
When everybody's doing great, it's a good feeling for all involved.
When people go selfish and they only want a good thing to happen to them, and they get upset if good things happen to other people, that's poison, man.
brendan schaub
The jealousy doesn't work.
joe rogan
It does the opposite of work.
There's an actual quote about that.
That jealousy is one of the rare emotions that achieves the opposite effect that it intends to.
Because you intend to, like, diminish someone by being jealous of them, but in fact you diminish yourself.
brendan schaub
Yeah, you're putting energy into things you can't control and it does not matter.
joe rogan
Yeah, I forget who made that quote, but it's even uglier when it's jealousy amongst friends.
Oh, the worst.
We all have seen it.
unidentified
100%.
joe rogan
It's weird.
It's a weird thing to see.
brendan schaub
It's weird to me when I was fighting, it's weird to see people who, I won't mention names, but we're on the same group and a guy would be fighting.
You could tell they didn't want him to succeed.
I'm like, dude, we just went to an eight-week camp.
It's going to be tough.
joe rogan
I'm like, tough?
brendan schaub
I'm like, oh, you're jealous, man.
With his success, you can go on your own path.
joe rogan
That's a weird thing, man.
brendan schaub
With comedy, I thought I'd get it way worse.
I thought people were going to fucking hate me when I walked in the store, laugh at you, but I don't see it around there.
And if I do it, they don't see it to my face.
joe rogan
No, you know what it is?
Well, it's also, once you're proven to actually be funny, you're in.
Nobody gives a shit.
Everybody just wants you to be funny.
But if you were some guy who was maybe an actor that was kind of half-assing it, and people would come to see you just because you were an actor, but you weren't really trying, you didn't respect...
Which we've all seen in the past.
Well, there's been a bunch of those people that tried to get sitcoms back in the early days.
And during the sitcom days, when there was a lot of comics...
That were getting these deals and then they would do a sitcom based around them.
Very few of them ever became like a Seinfeld or something like that.
But they gave it a lot of deals, man.
brendan schaub
Developmental deals.
joe rogan
And so there was a lot of actors who got into comedy and put together like a quote-unquote act to try to get a deal.
Like they would do it because they would look at it seeing like, look, if they're just going to audition for shows, it's really difficult to stand out from the crowd.
I mean, unless you look like Luke Rockhold or you got some, you know, you're the perfect Ryan Reynolds looking fella.
It's fucking hard.
And then if you're a girl, you have to be really hot or you have to be really big.
Something has to be funny about you, right?
Well, if you're a stand-up, there's no rules.
You can be Ali Wong.
You can be Roseanne Barr.
You just have to be funny.
That's all that matters.
So a lot of actors looked at it like, oh, I'll just put together an act.
Oh man, stand-ups would hate them.
brendan schaub
I'm sure it wouldn't go well either.
It's within whoever it is.
Let's say fucking John Goodman started doing stand-up, right?
And he'd come on stage and we're like, oh fuck, that's John Goodman.
And after about three minutes, like, okay, that's John Goodman.
What the fuck are you going to do, man?
joe rogan
Well, that was Michael Richards.
Michael Richards didn't really have a background in stand-up.
He had a background.
brendan schaub
See, I didn't know that.
joe rogan
Yeah, he would do like...
He didn't have an act.
He would fall down on stage and play like...
He was doing Kramer.
brendan schaub
To be the character.
To be Kramer.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was very strange.
And I don't know if he did it for a long time and then stopped doing it for a long time and then started doing it again after Seinfeld.
But before he had that, air quotes, incident at the Laugh Factory, we'd seen him a couple of times and it was weird.
It was like a really, really famous open mic night guy.
brendan schaub
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
Yeah, strange.
It was like a guy who's super famous but really hasn't been doing it that much.
brendan schaub
Because you're going up at the Laugh Factor Comedy store.
You've got to remember, it's murder.
They're not booking those people.
So it's murder drone for whatever reason you got in, but you're on that lineup with Bill Burr and you and Delia.
And you've got to go up and the crowd's used to seeing high-level fucking stuff.
joe rogan
Yeah.
This was like, what?
2006 or some shit?
When did all that go down with him?
brendan schaub
Brian said he was at the Improv Control Bowl.
joe rogan
Well, I had gotten back to the comedy store, and I think it was Brent Ernst.
I think...
I think he saw, yeah, he was over at the Laugh Factory when it happened and he came back and he was like, he was like, yo, I just left the Laugh Factory.
He goes, fucking Kramer's up there throwing the n-bomb.
And I was like, no, what happened?
He goes, dude, it was crazy.
He lost his shit.
He was getting heckled.
So we had heard about it.
But then when the cell phone video got leaked.
brendan schaub
TMZ released that shit.
joe rogan
Everybody was like, oh, wow.
brendan schaub
Game, set, match.
joe rogan
Like, this is a new thing.
brendan schaub
Dude.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was weird, man.
brendan schaub
I was doing a set in the belly room the other night, and I've never seen Brody Stevens do stand-up.
I've never seen him.
And then he got up there and just...
Again, I know who he is, obviously.
He's always around, but I've never seen him do this.
And then he just came out doing crowd work and not using the mic.
And I looked at Sam, and I go...
What the fuck's he doing, man?
He's like, you've never seen him again?
He goes, just watch.
And it was so funny, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, Brody's...
brendan schaub
He's been doing it forever, and he's just fantastic at that.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
He does crowd work for...
He does warm-ups for so many television shows for so many years that he's, like, super comfortable just talking to people.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
It was fucking...
I was done.
unidentified
The special came out recently.
I think it's on iTunes.
I don't know if it's anywhere else.
joe rogan
Live from the main room?
unidentified
They taped it in the main...
Doing that set, the Kinnison set, the spot.
joe rogan
No shit.
brendan schaub
Dude, that's so cool.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
When did they do this?
unidentified
I just came out maybe a couple weeks ago.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he was talking about it on stage.
joe rogan
Good for them.
That's awesome.
brendan schaub
He can go around and he'll go, Iowa.
And they're like, yeah, from Iowa.
He goes, there you go.
And moves on to the next person.
I'm like, Jesus Christ, man.
It was so funny.
joe rogan
He's a weird guy.
brendan schaub
He's like, I'll be here to 2 a.m.
It's 10. 2 a.m.
I'm like, what the fuck?
That's how he kicked it off.
I'm like, what is going on right now?
joe rogan
Well, his style is so unusual because on paper, you would never understand where the punchlines are.
But then when you hear him say it, you can't stop laughing.
brendan schaub
I was dying.
joe rogan
I don't know if he writes it or if he just does it.
I wonder.
I'd like to ask him if he writes stuff down or if he just does it.
There's a few guys like that that are just funny the way...
Theo's like that.
Funny the way they say shit.
Theo says shit that I could say the same shit, it wouldn't be funny, but he says it and it's fucking hilarious.
Yeah.
That's the king about comedy, man.
Nobody really knows what funny is until you hear it.
brendan schaub
But there's also something...
Steve Simone, he was saying...
Because I was telling him, he goes, man, you hear a lot.
I go, yeah, I'm trying to just jump on anyone's shows because I want to make sure it's not my crowd because you've got to figure out what's funny because you just played your shows.
I don't want to be that guy.
He goes, who told you that?
joe rogan
Who the fuck told you that?
brendan schaub
He goes, everyone here is trying to get their crowds.
He goes, when you're on the road, you want your crowd, man.
I'm like, I know, but when I'm here, I want to make sure it's not my crowd.
Because I feel like the funny uncle at the barbecue if it's my crowd.
You don't find out what's working.
Like at the Ice House, if it's my crowd, especially at the Ice House, I'd walk off and feel like Kevin Hart.
Like, what the fuck?
That was a fucking A+. But then you go to the comedy store, and if it's not your crowd, you're like, that was a D. That was a fucking D. That's true, but if you go to the Ice House, and it's your crowd, and you actually record it and listen to it, you can...
Which I do.
joe rogan
That's important.
You can tell what is actually going to work and what's not going to work.
You can tell.
And then you can tighten it up.
So you have extra confidence at a place like the Ice House to do different shit.
To me, what it's like, it's like cross-training.
Like, it's not a bad idea to do some kettlebells and run some hills and do jujitsu.
It'll probably make you jujitsu better.
And I think just doing crowds where no one knows who you are is great, but doing crowds where they know who you are is great, too.
And as long as you're paying attention, you get a different thing from each one.
brendan schaub
Yeah, you're right.
100% right.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, you also get different things from different sized rooms, you know?
brendan schaub
Dude, there's certain things that will work at the Laugh Factory in certain pockets that won't work anywhere at the comedy.
It's so strange to me.
joe rogan
It's a weird thing, man.
brendan schaub
It's very strange.
joe rogan
It's as strange as it gets.
brendan schaub
You can feel different energies.
It's so cool.
It's so fascinating, man.
It is, right?
If you want to talk to someone about the comedy store and, like, the history of it, Steve Simone.
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
He knows a lot of shit.
Steve's been around for a long time and couldn't be a nicer guy.
brendan schaub
Might be the nicest guy in the world.
joe rogan
He might be the nicest guy that's ever lived.
Almost like there's a darkness back there that I want to meet.
brendan schaub
I know.
I wonder what's going on there.
joe rogan
You want to push him.
brendan schaub
He's doing this new bit about his dad.
I was like, can we come from a good family, it sounds like.
Where's this come from, man?
joe rogan
Nice guy from a good family.
brendan schaub
He was opening up for Ari in San Francisco.
joe rogan
Oh, was he?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
The Cobbs.
joe rogan
Cobbs is an interesting room.
It used to be the tiniest room.
It used to be like 150 people, a little tiny room on the road, but it was so good, everybody wanted to do it.
And then they moved to that place, which is like 450. 450. Giant-ass ceiling.
It's a big place.
brendan schaub
It's an interesting crowd there, too.
Very liberal.
joe rogan
Well, that's San Francisco, man.
San Francisco, highly educated, very progressive.
You're doing a different kind of comedy there.
brendan schaub
Doing an abortion joke.
unidentified
Ah!
Ah!
joe rogan
They didn't like it?
That's hilarious.
brendan schaub
More of a reference, but it did not go well.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And you can feel it.
You can feel it.
Is there anything worse?
unidentified
Nope.
joe rogan
But, you know, what it is, is when you run into a subject that people don't accept, you gotta ask yourself, okay, does my sense of humor different than theirs?
Or did I do a shitty job in figuring out how to get that subject to them?
You know, because some subjects, like, there's quite a few bits that are...
Going to be in my Netflix special that when I first started doing them, they weren't that good.
There was something missing.
Like, I knew there was something there, but you don't...
You only know so much when it's written.
You really find out what's good when you try it on stage, and then that's when it sort of comes to life.
It's like, I have...
Almost every bit that I've ever done written in some way, but they're all rarely the way I do them.
You know, once you get on stage with it, that's when you start fucking with it and figure out how to do it.
brendan schaub
You have more of an outline.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And then when you get on stage, it's like...
joe rogan
Yeah, but it's...
Along the way, sometimes it just tanks.
That has to happen.
brendan schaub
Some guys stick with it though, don't they?
joe rogan
That's so crazy.
brendan schaub
I saw you do this the other night, man.
joe rogan
It's not working.
You've got to move it around.
But a good beating, like doing it where it doesn't work, makes you just refocus.
Let me go back and look at this thing and figure out why these people got upset.
Oh, you know what?
If I just do this first, then they'll know where I'm coming from first.
They'll let me get away with that because they won't think I'm an asshole.
It's weird.
brendan schaub
And you're especially finished editing yourself.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
That's uncommon, right?
joe rogan
Well, I didn't have much to edit in terms of content.
It was just how much should I cut out and what show was the best one.
That was what it was.
Really, a lot of the best one was the first show.
brendan schaub
See, I heard Tony, as soon as you guys got done, because I text you and I text Tony and he goes, I don't even know why we're filming a second one.
Home run off the first.
It really was, yeah, out of the park.
joe rogan
Boston's fun, man.
brendan schaub
Wilbur, right?
joe rogan
That Wilbur theater's amazing.
You know, because it's like a theater, but it's also like a comedy club.
Because there's 900 or 1,100 people in the room, and I think it's like 500, 300, 300 or something like that.
brendan schaub
Reminds me of the Palms.
You've come, kid, the Palms.
People are right on top of you.
joe rogan
They're right on top of you.
brendan schaub
Where most theaters so far, you can't feel it.
joe rogan
Cat Williams did the Poms one time when we were there.
I didn't get a chance to see him, though.
brendan schaub
God, he's fucking funny.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was there.
I think he was there like the day before the UFC or something like that.
brendan schaub
My brother went and saw Kevin Hart.
He was at Pepsi Center.
Oh, yeah?
I wonder how the fuck do you pull off stand-up at the Pepsi Center?
Jay goes, I know.
And my brother's a little bit of a hater by nature.
He goes, he can't be that good.
And I'm like, dude, he's like the most successful comic ever touring in these stadiums.
I bet it's pretty fucking good.
And he goes in there and he was at like a round stage, like 360, and he goes, dude, it was incredible.
Best he's ever seen.
joe rogan
Wow.
brendan schaub
Which is crazy.
joe rogan
It's a fucking powerhouse, man.
Powerhouse.
That guy's a hustling, performing powerhouse.
Yeah.
Interesting, right?
It's interesting when you see those super winners.
Those super winners that just push the envelope of success.
It's weird.
You know, those qualities are very strange.
brendan schaub
It's also strange in comedy because someone, Kevin Hart might be your cup of tea, but then they might hate Bill Burr.
It's very strange to me.
joe rogan
That's silly.
brendan schaub
I shouldn't say hate, but maybe, you know what I'm saying?
Like, Bill Burr might be just okay to you, but Kevin Hart's your number one.
joe rogan
Yeah, but...
That's okay.
That's normal.
There's always going to be people that have different tastes.
That's the same with music.
That's the same with books.
brendan schaub
Everything.
unidentified
100%.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's a crazy time for stand-up, though.
If you think about how many different comedians are really good right now and have specials, whew.
It's nuts.
brendan schaub
Netflix is blowing up.
joe rogan
Blowing up.
brendan schaub
Do you know Russell Peters was the first comic to get a Netflix special?
joe rogan
When did he get his?
brendan schaub
A long ass time ago.
unidentified
Really?
brendan schaub
I heard him in an interview talking about it.
I think it was with Sway in the morning.
And he goes, that was the first one.
They say, how much did they pay you?
And he talks about it.
Really?
And he goes, 10% of what Chris Rock got paid.
And they looked it up.
joe rogan
Wait a minute.
When was he the first one?
What year was it?
brendan schaub
Old school.
joe rogan
Really?
Find out.
Let's find out.
Russell Peters comedy special.
brendan schaub
Russell Peters is a monster.
joe rogan
I had one on Netflix in 2005. I think Russell Peters beat ya.
brendan schaub
Probably.
joe rogan
If he was first.
brendan schaub
Pretty sure he said he was first.
2005?
Goddamn.
joe rogan
Goddamn.
brendan schaub
I didn't even know Netflix was back then.
joe rogan
Yeah, nobody knew.
That was part of the problem.
brendan schaub
When people are like, my special's on C, so I'm like, oh, fuck.
joe rogan
So what else is going on this weekend with the UFC? What other fights are there?
brendan schaub
Well, you got the Ultimate Fighter finale on Friday, Brad Tavares.
joe rogan
Is there any other on that card?
brendan schaub
Stylebender.
joe rogan
Ooh, Stylebender.
Brad Tavares versus Stylebender?
brendan schaub
Brad's a motherfucker, man.
I think Brad beats him, but I think...
I love Stylebender, but Brad's been quietly 4-0, but also Brad is a guy who...
The rumor is he's injured during this fight.
He was going to call the fight off.
He's injured.
joe rogan
How dare you say that online?
brendan schaub
No, it's all over.
unidentified
It's out.
joe rogan
Is it?
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's out.
joe rogan
What's he injured with?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
He's supposed to pull out, but he's going through it.
So it depends.
People forget Bracken fucking wrestled, too.
unidentified
Hmm.
joe rogan
That's a fucking juicy fight.
brendan schaub
That's a tough fight for Stylebender.
joe rogan
From Nigeria, 13-0, son.
brendan schaub
He's a motherfucker.
joe rogan
He really is.
brendan schaub
He's so exciting.
joe rogan
Damn.
That's very good.
Let me see the regular UFC card again.
That's a big fight.
So that's the headline fight?
brendan schaub
Yeah, and it's Ultimate Fighter, which is...
You see they're selling the Ultimate Fighter house?
That's how you know Ultimate Fighter.
joe rogan
They're selling it?
brendan schaub
They're selling it.
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
Five mil, son, you want it?
joe rogan
Five mil?
unidentified
What?
brendan schaub
Good investment.
joe rogan
What?
unidentified
Did you say?
brendan schaub
It's like 19 bedrooms.
joe rogan
People peed all over that house.
brendan schaub
Oh, dude.
joe rogan
You've got to go in there that's going to smell like a dude's balls.
brendan schaub
I mean, dude's jacked off in those closets without camera.
joe rogan
That's a good fight right there.
That's a very good fight.
Gokhan Saki and Khalil Roundtree Jr. That's a motherfucking fight.
That's a real good fight.
brendan schaub
Felder, Mike Perry.
That's a fucking fight.
That's right.
joe rogan
Felder at welterweight.
Very interesting.
He's a big dude.
Felder has to cut some serious weight to make 155. Felder's a monster on the mic, too.
brendan schaub
He's a great commentator.
joe rogan
Very smart.
Paolo Costa and Uriah Hall.
That's very interesting.
VTOR 2.0.
brendan schaub
I'm not saying Paolo Costa's on all the drugs, but how does he pass this fucking test?
joe rogan
Whose nose is clogged up for that sniff test?
brendan schaub
Whose allergies are kicking in that day?
joe rogan
I forgot their inhaler.
brendan schaub
How does Nowitzki just not live wherever his house is?
Dude, he is first team all the door.
joe rogan
Is Lando Vinat on that card too?
Go down there.
brendan schaub
Yeah, look at it.
joe rogan
It's close.
Jakar Close and Lando Venato, that might be the sleeper of the night, folks.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I get this.
joe rogan
No one's even talking about that fight.
brendan schaub
It's on Fight Pass.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
brendan schaub
Dude, Hooker and Burns is a motherfucking fight, too.
joe rogan
Gilbert Burns, Dan Hooker.
Holy shit, what a card this is.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Dude, this card is insane.
brendan schaub
Great card.
joe rogan
This is an insane card, because people aren't even talking about this Hooker-Burns fight.
brendan schaub
Dude, you know what's going to be sad, though?
I think the pay-per-view numbers.
joe rogan
Oh, how dare you.
You never know.
Stipe versus DC. It might get into the twos.
brendan schaub
What do you think?
joe rogan
Well, and a lot of people like Max Holloway and Brian Ortega, you don't think it can make it into the twos?
brendan schaub
Hell yeah, 200. 200 would be a nightmare, sir.
joe rogan
250 was the last one, right?
brendan schaub
Which was terrible.
joe rogan
Not good.
brendan schaub
See, I'm hoping it does around 500 to 600. Make GSP fight again.
joe rogan
You need GSP back.
brendan schaub
Bring GSP back.
joe rogan
He was the last one to get real good numbers.
He got 850, right?
brendan schaub
I know.
But I think this does around between 400 and 600. Yeah.
What do you think, Jamie?
joe rogan
I hope so.
brendan schaub
Jamie made a weird face.
unidentified
I have no idea.
brendan schaub
It's tough to tell these days, man.
I think they need to get rid of the pay-per-view model.
It's obviously not working anymore.
joe rogan
What do you think they should do?
brendan schaub
I think they should put these on for free.
I think they should put on ESPN these major fights.
joe rogan
Are you going to pay people?
jamie vernon
The top four NBA guys are getting more than the top 10 NFL quarterbacks, and those games are all free.
joe rogan
So there's a model somewhere.
brendan schaub
But this model's not working.
joe rogan
Yeah, but NBA is way more popular than the UFC. Sure, but it's also free.
brendan schaub
But also the sponsorship deals, the endorsement deals, they have major endorsements.
joe rogan
Right, but there's only so many endorsements they're going to get behind cage fighting.
You know, it's such a crazy sport.
brendan schaub
Or fucking Harley-Davidson, Ford, Bud Light, Miller Light.
Like, we've had some big ones.
joe rogan
More now, right?
Yeah.
jamie vernon
Roughly the same amount of people also.
Like, same amount of fighters, same amount of NBA players.
joe rogan
About 500 or so.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's no comparison in terms of overall viewership, though.
Like, what is a big basketball game, NBA Finals?
35?
A million, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, they're killing it.
brendan schaub
I'm just saying, I think that the pay-per-view model is so old school, especially now with the legal streaming.
Me and Jamie were talking about it.
joe rogan
Right.
brendan schaub
If I'm not that guy, because I find I'm not trying to steal money from UFC, but there's a link I can go to every time that's in HD, I don't have to pay a fucking dime for it.
unidentified
Really?
brendan schaub
Everyone.
So many of my friends do that.
I have so many people.
joe rogan
They're going to jail when Uncle Fester finds out.
brendan schaub
So when the numbers are low, you've got to take that into consideration.
Most 18 to 36 males can figure the fuck out.
They're not like, $70?
No.
joe rogan
I wonder.
I wonder if you just had it free, if the numbers would be, well, I You've got to make money.
You've got to make a big fucking risk to do that because you've got to think of how much money the UFC has to pay every month to make that loan, to make that monthly nut.
brendan schaub
That's on them.
That's not the fans' problem.
unidentified
That's true.
brendan schaub
The other problem is think how expensive it is to be an MMA fan these days.
So I've got to fork out money for ESPN Plus now just to watch.
joe rogan
How much is that?
brendan schaub
Was it $9.99?
unidentified
Yeah, I don't know.
jamie vernon
You could call it low-end, $5 a month.
unidentified
I think it's $10.
brendan schaub
Okay, $9.99.
So you got that, right?
joe rogan
When does that go live?
Because Fight Pass is still...
brendan schaub
2019, January.
So I got to pay for that.
So that's money, additional money.
And then pay-per-views.
There's one every month.
So if I want that, that's $70.
So that's $80 a month just to be a UFC fan.
Now if I want to watch Dyson, Dyson, Dyson, Bellator, I got to pay...
How much is that going to be?
$9.99 to watch the Bellator now.
joe rogan
Is that what it is?
unidentified
It didn't say.
I was looking.
brendan schaub
Let's say it's $9.99.
Less than that, I'm assuming something's wrong with the streaming service.
joe rogan
Well, if they just had a free streaming service and then had ads, do you think they could make it up?
brendan schaub
I'm sure.
My point is, it's getting expensive to be an MMA fan, and you're losing fans.
And the numbers are in decline.
So obviously there's a business model problem.
joe rogan
What if they made a deal with Netflix?
brendan schaub
They tried that.
Netflix, Amazon, those guys didn't want to play a game.
Your audience isn't big enough.
Twitter went, we'll use the NBA. We're going to go the NFL route.
Because other sports are too big.
joe rogan
Twitter.
What if they showed it on Twitter?
jamie vernon
Can you get Twitter on your TV? If you have it on your phone, you could just send it to the screen.
joe rogan
Yeah, but what if your phone runs out of batteries?
In the middle of the fight, your friends call you pussy.
brendan schaub
We'll plug it in, son.
unidentified
Sometimes it's not linking.
It's not playing off your phone directly.
joe rogan
Now, when you do it, I do it through Apple TV, but you could do it through Google Android, right?
You could do, like, Google Play.
unidentified
You have, like, a stick that sticks in the USB. Yeah, there's a little symbol.
joe rogan
Interesting.
I mean, that all used to be science fiction just a little while ago, but I see shit on my, like someone sends me a YouTube video to watch.
If I'm home watching something on Apple TV, I'll just stream it right to the TV. 100%.
That's amazing.
Is that us?
unidentified
Oh, hi.
Oh, what up?
jamie vernon
There's a little symbol, like on the top by the bar.
It's just a broadcast to a TV thing.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I feel like UFC has this old-school model right now.
But with ESPN +, it's at least headed in the right direction.
But the pay-per-view model, especially as expensive as it is to be a fan right now, they're making it tough.
joe rogan
I think it's going to come a time where you're not going to need any streaming service.
You'll just be able to type a website address into your television, and it'll be universal.
Everybody will have that.
I think that's real close.
brendan schaub
Like, a lot of people getting rid of their cable.
joe rogan
Yep.
brendan schaub
Dish.
joe rogan
Apparently young kids, they never watch cable anymore.
brendan schaub
Ever.
joe rogan
Yeah, they just don't watch it.
brendan schaub
I'm a Dish fan, but most young kids don't fuck with any of it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Like, what?
Dish what?
joe rogan
That's interesting, right?
brendan schaub
Comcast, huh?
joe rogan
The only thing it's good for, really, is live events.
Yeah, that's it.
brendan schaub
Everything else.
joe rogan
Netflix is more popular than broadcast cable and more in TV viewing.
unidentified
Hmm.
joe rogan
Hulu and YouTube.
Wow.
jamie vernon
The thing I read said it's got more viewers than all of those combined, but I don't know if that's accurate.
joe rogan
Broadcast, cable, Hulu, and YouTube.
Netflix has more than everything.
See, if Netflix got the UFC, that would be crazy.
brendan schaub
For the UFC. For the UFC. Netflix, like, dude, what?
joe rogan
What if they just bought it?
brendan schaub
They could.
joe rogan
What if they just said, we have so much money?
brendan schaub
Like, how much is your not?
Four billion?
joe rogan
Four billion?
Okay.
brendan schaub
We'll just buy it.
Just write them the check.
joe rogan
We'll just buy it.
It's like a pair of sneakers that you're never going to wear.
brendan schaub
Just let them fight every day.
We don't give a fuck.
Just air it.
They could do it, man.
joe rogan
I wonder.
Yeah, that would be – but then how would you figure out how people get paid?
You'd have to give numbers, right?
It would have to be in the contract because that's one thing about Netflix.
They don't want to give away the numbers.
So if you have a comedy special on Netflix and you ask them, hey, how's it doing?
They go, it's doing really well.
We're really happy.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but you know because like you, they go, you want to do another?
You're like, well, it must have went pretty well.
Now if you do a special on there and you're like, how are we doing like – All right!
Yeah, keep on keeping on, man.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Do you want to do another?
We're all set.
It probably didn't go well.
You don't have exact numbers.
Right.
Which I feel like is a little hairy, a little dicey, because you have no negotiating power.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's super dicey.
brendan schaub
Because if you're like, hold on.
Let's say you, for instance, you're like, hold up.
A hundred million people watch this?
I need more fucking money.
joe rogan
Right.
brendan schaub
Like, to them, is five million watching good?
Is a hundred million?
Where are we at here?
Nobody knows.
Let me negotiate.
That can't be...
Right.
Like, they can't be good.
joe rogan
But it's their business.
They started it.
The thing is, like, you don't have to do it there.
brendan schaub
Don't you think?
joe rogan
But you could do it on HBO, and then you'd get real numbers.
Or you could do it on Showtime, and you'd get real numbers.
Or you could do it on Amazon.
Jeff Bezos tells you to go fuck yourself.
brendan schaub
Do you think you're at a disadvantage if you're not on Netflix these days?
Because here's my argument that I had with Brian about things shooting a special.
Netflix is the king, man.
And if you're you, if you're Bill Burr, if you're Kevin Hart, not Kevin Hart, if you're fucking Chris Rock, any of those guys, right?
They're paying you a massive amount of money and they're promoting it.
But if you get lost into that shuffle, because they have so much content now, it doesn't pay off.
joe rogan
I don't know.
You know, Gaffigan, interestingly enough, decided not to do it.
And he could do it anywhere.
And he decided to do it on all platforms.
So he doesn't have it on Netflix, but he has it on a bunch of different things.
See where Gaffigan put his special up.
brendan schaub
But he did it on his own site, right?
And released it.
Very Louis C.K. style.
joe rogan
Yeah, I think he actually, I think it's available on Amazon.
I think it's available on a bunch of different things.
brendan schaub
He's so established, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, true.
brendan schaub
Jim Gaffigan's a motherfucker.
People still ask him to do his Hot Pockets.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a good point, because I think that they probably, no matter where he goes, his fans are very loyal.
They'll go seek it out.
brendan schaub
He's one of the biggest in the world.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
brendan schaub
But I'm saying if you're like, let's say you're a guy like Brian Callen, where are you going to get the most exposure?
joe rogan
Honestly, YouTube.
The most exposure would just be released for free.
For free.
But that's very expensive to do.
It says, Gaffigan's Noble Ape initially will be released on multiple pay TV and digital platforms, including Apple's iTunes, Amazon Video, AT&T, Charter Communications, Comcast, Cox Communication, DirecTV, Holla at DirecTV, Dish Network, oh shit, Google Play, and Sony PlayStation.
brendan schaub
This shit says, Walmart's Voodoo.
joe rogan
Well, Walmart has Voodoo.
Microsoft's Xbox.
An album version will also be released on the same day in digital and physical formats.
brendan schaub
That motherfucker going sizzler.
A $5 download via Louis C.K. Net.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's interesting.
It's interesting because I think that he could do it.
So if he does it and then it really works out well, maybe Kevin Hart might do that too.
Maybe he might say, listen, I could charge $4.99.
Well, he could do whatever he wants.
He might be like, hey, I'm Kevin Hart.
I could just have people are going to go watch my special.
I'll just put it somewhere.
brendan schaub
There's only a few who can do that.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's a small handful.
brendan schaub
If you're a smaller level comic, let's say B-List, you can't do that and make money.
People are going to see it, so maybe you get money back when you go on the road.
It's like, holy shit, that was great and it's free, so you go on the road and do it in theaters now, maybe.
joe rogan
Well, that's the thing.
Do you know how many comics have done that and had a YouTube video that became a giant smash and then were selling out theaters?
What is that girl, Angela Johnson?
You know Angela Johnson?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
She's on MADtv.
She has that hilarious bit about the Vietnamese girls doing her nails.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
That bit got on YouTube and she was selling out giant- Crittle gel.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Crittle gel.
She's hilarious.
joe rogan
Very funny.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Fucking hilarious.
joe rogan
She was selling out giant places.
brendan schaub
Well, to that extent, not that Chris D'Elia is similar to that, but Chris D'Elia on Snapchat, his videos were so funny.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
It made him insanely popular.
He's so silly.
Amongst other stuff, but that's one of the huge, you know, he had millions of followers on there.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
So you go into Citi and And he's a brilliant comic.
He's one of the biggest in the world now.
joe rogan
He's so silly.
He's a unique kind of silly.
He's a weird silly.
brendan schaub
You would hate us if you saw our text every day about shoes and fashion.
The Yeezy Dad shoes came out.
I'm like, dude, I can get them.
You want a pair?
He's like, yes.
joe rogan
What are Yeezy Dad shoes, Jamie?
brendan schaub
Well, you might like them.
You like them more than the 350 Boost.
joe rogan
Sweat these boy Converse Red suede I know I'm wearing these just for you When did you get those?
Converse actually sent them to me.
brendan schaub
I would never have bought these.
joe rogan
They sent me those, but I put them.
I said, I'll wear these motherfuckers.
brendan schaub
Hell yeah, those are fucking dope.
joe rogan
Those are Yeezys, those things?
Those are Yeezys.
And you like those?
brendan schaub
No, I don't.
joe rogan
What are you, a San Jose Sharks fan?
brendan schaub
No, I do not.
joe rogan
It looks like a shark.
brendan schaub
No, let me just say this.
That was the first Yeezy, and I can get them.
They're coming out.
But I went, I'm going to pass.
I'm going to pass on those.
And I go, Chris, you want these?
And I went, Chris, these only look good on small guys.
He goes, you're right, but I'm smaller.
I go, with the right outfit and small jeans you can wear them.
He goes, you're right, Brent.
And we're going back and forth.
And I screenshot it.
And I sent to Brian and went, fuck you.
unidentified
Ah!
joe rogan
Because Brian likes to wear those boots that make him look like he's an Italian painter.
brendan schaub
Correct.
And wishes he was taller.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's got those boots with like wooden heels with leather soles that are really slippery.
Very strange.
And then they have zippers on the sides.
I'm like, what the fuck are you wearing?
You're supposed to wear these when you're in Catholic school.
Like, why are you wearing this as a grown man who's 51 years old?
unidentified
Yeah, he's crazy.
joe rogan
He never had a period of time where he dressed like his age.
brendan schaub
Never.
joe rogan
He's like finally old as his dress.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Like he is now the age he's supposed to be.
He like got older and fell into his established wardrobe.
brendan schaub
Not anymore, bro.
unidentified
What?
Oh my god.
joe rogan
What is this?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
The fuck is happening?
brendan schaub
That's not Brian.
joe rogan
Why is he dressed like a skater?
unidentified
That looks just like him.
joe rogan
Wait a minute.
Are those slides?
brendan schaub
That does look identical to him.
joe rogan
Wait a minute.
That's Brian.
unidentified
I think that's him.
brendan schaub
Dude, that's fucking Brian.
joe rogan
That's Brian Callan.
brendan schaub
Dressed as a tool.
joe rogan
Make that face bigger.
unidentified
Very blurry.
joe rogan
Dude, what is happening?
brendan schaub
Are those slides?
joe rogan
Are those slides?
Is that black socks and slides?
brendan schaub
Oh my god.
joe rogan
That's Brian Callen.
brendan schaub
For a special, he wants me to dress him.
And I'm going to get credits on a special.
joe rogan
Don't, don't, don't, don't.
Let him be himself.
brendan schaub
Well, no.
joe rogan
Say dress the way you want to dress, bro.
brendan schaub
That's what I told him.
joe rogan
It is him.
It is him.
There he is.
brendan schaub
Where's that at, Jamie?
joe rogan
Those are black socks and sandals.
Or are those...
No, they're not.
Those are skate shoes.
Dude, those are Case Swift?
Roll down those shoes.
I was hoping that those were black socks.
brendan schaub
Me too.
Asian style.
joe rogan
I thought they were black socks and slides because they're so gross.
Where the white stripe goes over the top.
unidentified
Proper use of slides.
joe rogan
Is that the proper use?
Black socks?
Is that how you're supposed to do it?
brendan schaub
Yeah, there you go.
joe rogan
Is that how everybody does it?
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Tight move, Joe.
joe rogan
You can do it with slides, but you can't do it with flip-flops, correct?
Like, slides and socks is okay.
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
Why do they have rules like that?
brendan schaub
It's the streets, bro.
joe rogan
You know what it is?
It's gross if you like that sock in between your toe with that bar with a flip-flop.
brendan schaub
Like a master splinter or some shit?
Like you're a ninja?
You got those ninja shoes on?
Remember those ninja shoes?
joe rogan
I fuck yeah!
brendan schaub
I had them, man.
joe rogan
What are they called?
Tabbies or something like that?
brendan schaub
Oh my god.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
Remember when dudes would wear those kung fu shoes?
Do you remember those kung fu shoes?
You didn't grow up on the East Coast, did you?
brendan schaub
No.
Fuck no.
joe rogan
A lot of dudes in the 1990s and certainly in the 80s would wear kung fu shoes.
brendan schaub
Just as whatever?
joe rogan
They would dress up like they knew Kung Fu.
They would wear like Kung Fu pants.
Those things.
brendan schaub
Those are Todd's.
Those are called Todd's these days.
unidentified
That's what they're called.
joe rogan
Those are Kung Fu shoes, son.
Dudes would wear Kung Fu like they knew Kung Fu because they had those shoes on.
They'd be like, damn.
brendan schaub
Dude, I'm not mad at that.
joe rogan
Those are different.
brendan schaub
Those are more fashionable.
Yeah, those first ones you show are some bullshit.
joe rogan
Somebody had a bit about it, about dudes in the ghetto.
I think it was...
Do you remember that guy that had a bunch of fucking...
He had a bunch of...
Bunch of specials on HBO. Robert Townsend.
Remember that?
Remember Robert Townsend?
Remember he had a bunch of HBO specials where he had a bunch of different comedians on?
I feel like someone on one of those did a bit.
brendan schaub
Did a kung fu bit?
joe rogan
About dudes in the ghetto who dressed up like they wore kung fu outfits.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you who I don't fucking trust.
Dudes that wear aqua socks.
joe rogan
What do you mean by aqua socks?
Like blue socks?
brendan schaub
No, bro.
Aqua socks, like if you went to Waterworld or like a water park, aqua socks.
joe rogan
Wearing them out in public?
brendan schaub
Dude, nothing dries a fucking girl up worse than aqua socks.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
It dries them up?
brendan schaub
Oh, dude.
Bring a fucking aqua socks.
You can still get them at Walmart and shit.
joe rogan
Who wears them?
brendan schaub
My dad wore them when I was a kid.
unidentified
Those?
brendan schaub
Yes, fuck you.
joe rogan
Who wears those?
You walk around with those on?
brendan schaub
Yeah, if you're at the water park, so you get traction.
joe rogan
Okay, that makes sense.
But dudes wear them in real life?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Like some assholes.
joe rogan
Maybe they want to be a superhero.
brendan schaub
Maybe they're just ready for water at all times.
joe rogan
Like, what is the purpose of those?
So you don't slip on the outside of the pool?
brendan schaub
Yeah, because it's all hot and shit.
joe rogan
Okay.
brendan schaub
Quit being a pussy.
How about that?
joe rogan
But those are, like, fairly similar to, like, minimalist shoes.
brendan schaub
See, those are cool.
See, you bring up cool ones, Jim.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
unidentified
Hold on.
joe rogan
How is that cool?
brendan schaub
Because those are dope, bro.
joe rogan
You like that?
brendan schaub
Well, that's some shit you would run in.
joe rogan
Sagwa- Yes, I would.
brendan schaub
I know.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm talking about the original Aqua sock.
joe rogan
But it's different.
See that one right there that you just showed?
That last one?
The last one.
The one above that?
The one that looks like a normal sneaker?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, like that.
Like that, yeah.
Those look real similar to the shit I wear when I run.
brendan schaub
Some tibias.
joe rogan
I run with those, they have like nothing to them.
brendan schaub
You still run with those?
joe rogan
Yeah, I love those.
Dude, my feet are way stronger because of running that way.
100%.
Made a big difference.
It definitely made a difference.
Yeah, because your feet have to work way harder.
It's not like, if you run in a pair of like, I like to run in like Salomon speed cross shoes because they got a lot of traction.
You could run on anything.
You don't worry about where you're stepping.
You just dump on shit.
But your foot doesn't have as much engagement.
Like when there's no cushioning at all, and it's a thin layer, your foot is like pushing off and gripping things.
brendan schaub
It's some shit, but you can't just jump.
joe rogan
It strengthens your feet.
brendan schaub
You just can't go fucking full, vibrant shoe, which I tried.
joe rogan
You got that planter, right?
brendan schaub
I did.
joe rogan
That planter fasciitis is no joke, son.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's a nightmare, son.
I'm back to cushy shoes, the Yeezys and shit.
joe rogan
Oh, you like those?
But you don't run anymore, right?
brendan schaub
I need to inject some shit into my leg.
I need to go full fucking VTOR in my leg.
joe rogan
Dude, I'm telling you.
They can do that now.
brendan schaub
Homeboys around here, right?
joe rogan
Yes.
They're doing all kinds of shit now, son.
You know what else we should do?
We should do it on air.
We should get NAD drips.
Yeah.
Maybe they'll do it in here.
It's supposed to be insanely painful.
If you do the push NAV where it's like 15 minutes, It'd be funny if we did a podcast.
It's supposed to make your guts wrench like someone stomping on your stomach.
But if you get through it, you get through it in 15 minutes versus 8 hours.
brendan schaub
Hold up.
15 minutes and what's it do?
joe rogan
It's supposed to be incredible for anti-aging.
brendan schaub
I'm down for that.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
15 minutes of glory?
joe rogan
15 minutes of like...
brendan schaub
Just the worst podcast of all time.
joe rogan
I would think it'd be a fun podcast.
Because for the rest of the time, he'd be fine.
So beforehand, he'd be fine.
And then for 15 minutes, he'd be like, I want to shit my pants!
And then he'd do that for 15 minutes.
brendan schaub
And then how happy we'll be after 15 minutes.
joe rogan
After it's over, you'll feel great.
brendan schaub
And have Callan in here making fun of us.
joe rogan
Yeah, eating cheese and shit.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
No, he can't eat cheese anymore.
Psoriasis is too bad.
unidentified
What?
brendan schaub
He has horrible psoriasis.
joe rogan
He can't eat cheese?
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
What's he eating?
brendan schaub
He's on some weird diet.
He refuses to take the proper medication.
joe rogan
He's one of those guys, huh?
Isn't it funny that he would make fun of anti-vaxxers, but he wouldn't take medication?
brendan schaub
That's fucking crazy.
He's crazy.
joe rogan
What medication does he not take?
Does it fuck with him or something?
brendan schaub
No, he says it solves it for a little bit, but it's not a complete problem.
It's my diet.
I'm like, dude, whatever you're doing, just use the goddamn ointment.
joe rogan
Well, you know, Jordan Peterson said...

joe rogan
Oh, where's he at?
brendan schaub
Tampa Improv.
Psoriasis kid.
joe rogan
Don't look down on him from the third floor, though.
Tampa Improv has three floors.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I know.
joe rogan
Look down from the top, you see that bald spot.
Yeah, I know.
unidentified
It's very uncomfortable.
brendan schaub
You want to sit lower level.
You don't see his legs, there's a bald spot.
joe rogan
Tampa Improv, that's a weird area.
That's like Igor City, right?
brendan schaub
Igor, yeah.
I was just there.
joe rogan
Did you like it?
brendan schaub
I loved it.
joe rogan
Fun people.
brendan schaub
Hell yeah.
I love Texas, man.

Jordan Peterson cured his psoriasis with a carnivore diet.
He did that carnivore diet where all he eats is meat.
That's all he eats.
Red meat.
brendan schaub
And he got rid of it.
joe rogan
Yep.
That's all he eats.
brendan schaub
Brian should fucking try that, man.
Whatever he's doing, his legs are so bad.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That sucks, man.
Psoriasis is a rough one.
Stress, too.

I'm stressed out this week because I'm on the road on Saturday, Oklahoma, and I'm doing a set at the Ice House and hopefully a set at Laugh Factory 2 if I can make them.
But I always want to be at the Comedy Store, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, anywhere you can get up, though, man.
Do you do the Ha Ha at all?
brendan schaub
No.

Just go down there.
brendan schaub
I'm gonna do...

joe rogan
Yeah, I heard it.
Is that in Venice?
brendan schaub
Venice, yeah.
Santa Monica.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
I heard that's really good.
brendan schaub
Yep, me too.
joe rogan
I think Callum was telling me about that, too.
brendan schaub
That's close, too.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's close to you, right?
brendan schaub
Super close.
joe rogan
