Speaker Time Text
joe rogan
Australia.
Two.
Salute, my brother.
brendan schaub
Salute, brother.
joe rogan
What does it feel like having a Showtime special?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
I feel the same.
A little more stressed out.
joe rogan
A little stressed out?
Yeah.
Stay away from them comments, son.
Here's the whole deal with all that stuff, man.
You put it out, you watch it, you hate it, you get better.
Forces you.
Forces you to work.
I fucking hate everything I do.
There's no getting around it.
You're gonna hate it.
brendan schaub
You hate hearing yourself, right?
joe rogan
The editing is painful.
brendan schaub
The worst.
unidentified
But you'll get better.
joe rogan
You just take some of the criticism to heart, understand what people are saying.
For sure.
Fucking keep it on, my brother.
brendan schaub
I'm happy about it.
I think I'm stressed out this week.
Last week I was doing publicity for New York, hustling, doing all that.
joe rogan
I saw you did Breakfast Club.
brendan schaub
You and Charlamagne need to get together.
You guys are going to be great, man.
joe rogan
I was listening to his audio book.
It's very interesting.
He's had some real bouts with anxiety.
Weird anxiety.
brendan schaub
Yeah, weird anxiety, right?
Shook Ones, I think, is his book?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it comes from talking shit.
I think when you talk a lot of shit, you worry about shit coming back at you and you're like, Jesus, what did I say?
At least that's how it is for me.
brendan schaub
It depends.
If it's like legit, like when me and Dana were going at it, I was stressed.
Because it brings out the evilness in people.
Everyone's like, oh, I hope he tears them up.
unidentified
Oh, I hope he responds.
joe rogan
People jump in.
brendan schaub
Yeah, and then you're like, oh, I don't really want this.
joe rogan
Did you see Gaffigan and Neil Brennan?
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
Dude.
unidentified
No way!
joe rogan
Gaffigan lit Neil Brennan on fire and shit on his embers.
unidentified
No!
brendan schaub
For what?
joe rogan
Neil started it!
brendan schaub
Why?
joe rogan
Neil started it.
I'm going to send it to Jamie.
I'm going to send it to Jamie.
Oh, I'm so excited for this.
In my Sober October text message group.
And listen, I love Neil.
Oh, he's one of my favorite people.
But when someone gets roasted, someone gets roasted.
And it's even better because he started it.
He started it for no reason.
brendan schaub
Oh, no!
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
He tried to be snarky.
Here, Jamie, I'm sending this to you right now.
brendan schaub
Jim Gafkin is a ma-ma-ma-monster fantastic in Transylvania 3. Was he?
Oh, amazing.
joe rogan
Oh, I saw that.
Which one was he?
brendan schaub
He was Van Helsing.
joe rogan
Was he really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh my god, he's amazing.
brendan schaub
Great.
joe rogan
I love those movies.
Love them.
They're fun.
brendan schaub
I love when my son gets into that stuff.
joe rogan
The fucking animation today is so incredible.
I find myself sitting there watching the animation going, this is amazing.
The shading and just the detail of it.
brendan schaub
We can get into it.
Even if it's meant for kids, as a parent, I'm good, man.
joe rogan
Did you watch The Despicable Me's?
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
They're great.
brendan schaub
They're great.
Part 3's amazing.
joe rogan
All three of them are great.
brendan schaub
I love Part 3 with the 80s soundtrack.
It's the guy, the creator from South Park.
joe rogan
And isn't there another one with just the fucking yellow dudes?
brendan schaub
The Minions.
unidentified
Yes.
brendan schaub
That's good, too.
joe rogan
That's good, too.
Yeah, I saw that one.
brendan schaub
A little long.
Towards the end, it gets a little weird when they get to London, but very good.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
They're good, man.
joe rogan
I love them.
So this is to text Brennan.
So what happens is Gaffigan puts up a thing saying, hey, why are you looking at your phone?
You could be watching my Netflix special.
I made them all for you.
And he says, Neil says, which one has the joke about food?
You say like a food and then you talk about it and I'd be over here dying.
And then Gaffigan says, Neil, it's the special where I have three microphones.
One microphone is for jokes I pretend I can't remember that I read off a card.
One mic is for emotional manipulation of the audience.
And one microphone is for mentioning the Chappelle show and celebrity friends.
brendan schaub
Boom.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
That's like...
brendan schaub
Awkward.
joe rogan
That's like one of those bombs that goes off in the distance.
You just hear...
unidentified
Boom.
brendan schaub
And we're just like this with...
joe rogan
We got a little frisky.
brendan schaub
What happened?
joe rogan
Got a little frisky.
brendan schaub
Sometimes those guys fire back.
Sometimes those guys fire back.
joe rogan
Got a little vulnerable spot right there.
The liver was exposed.
brendan schaub
Neil just bowed out.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you.
joe rogan
Yeah, you're supposed to bow out there.
You fucked up.
You're supposed to say, ouch, you got me.
Just joking, man.
brendan schaub
When King of the Sting, Theo and I roast each other, and he's so good at it, sometimes I'm just like, I'm going to sit out, man.
Just go.
Go ahead, man.
I got nothing.
I've ran out of material, Theo.
Go ahead, bro.
joe rogan
Some of the things he says are so Theo.
Theo is like, there's a few guys.
Theo's one of them.
Sebastian's another one that have a style of comedy that you will never be able to explain to someone.
They've got to go see him.
You've got to listen to him.
brendan schaub
And it's so strange where the King This Thing podcast is mostly me saying something pretty average and then Theo just saying the most outlandish thing and me laughing my ass off.
The funnest show ever.
joe rogan
You guys go back and forth at each other.
It's very funny.
brendan schaub
He's so funny, man.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's a unique dude.
Very unique dude.
brendan schaub
As unique as they get.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He's in Australia right now.
He goes, yeah.
joe rogan
He's in Australia?
brendan schaub
He's in Australia right now.
And he goes, yeah, this is this morning.
He goes, yeah, man, got a koala coming to the hotel.
And I went, oh, shit, man, those things have chlamydia, so make sure you wash your hands.
And he goes, shit, I have some things, too.
He better wash his hands.
I'm just like, alright dude.
unidentified
Alright man.
joe rogan
He's so stupid.
unidentified
He better wash his hands.
joe rogan
Oh my god, that's funny.
brendan schaub
But it's legit a koala's coming over to his fucking hotel.
joe rogan
That's so Theo!
He's so funny.
Brody was that way too.
Brody had that unique style too.
brendan schaub
He's so special, man.
Theo's so special.
unidentified
He is very unusual.
brendan schaub
And you just know it.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
brendan schaub
You just know it, man.
People were asking what it's like to work with Theo.
All you guys, and I said, with Theo, it's like, he's the LeBron James of comedy.
He's so creative.
I'm just that shitty coach on the side trying to manage this ball game.
Not to fuck it up, man.
joe rogan
But he's just...
I mean, there's other guys that are funny, but they're funny in a regular way.
Like, oh, he's really good.
His jokes are great.
Oh, he's got a great presence.
He's great on stage.
But Theo's like, try to explain that.
You can't explain that.
You gotta go see him.
brendan schaub
It's a magical cluster of dark magic from New Orleans.
Where he'll say something, and I'm like...
There's certain guys I can watch and I'll go, oh, he's definitely, his IQ might be higher than mine, but I see how he got there with this premise of a joke.
With Theo, I'm like, I have no idea how he got there.
It's not happening.
joe rogan
You know who gives me stress when I look at his schedule?
Russell Peters.
unidentified
Yeah, he's all over the fucking planet.
joe rogan
He goes to Africa for like six weeks.
Did you hear Michael Bisping almost got fucking robbed in Africa?
brendan schaub
Did he really?
joe rogan
Yeah, he was doing a movie.
brendan schaub
What the fuck was he doing in Africa?
joe rogan
He was doing a movie.
brendan schaub
Expendables 19?
joe rogan
I don't know what it was.
He's doing a movie.
He got a little liquored up.
His cab dropped him off and said, your hotel's over there.
He get out of the cab.
He's like, where the fuck's my hotel?
The cab driver drives off.
He's like looking around where the hotel is.
And he said like 10 dudes just started rolling up on him saying, I want your wallet.
You know, if you want to live, you'll give me your wallet.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Is this South Africa or is this like Francis Ngannou?
joe rogan
I think he said Pretoria.
brendan schaub
Fuck, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, so he ran.
brendan schaub
And he got away, obviously.
joe rogan
Yeah, he got away.
brendan schaub
Surprised he didn't get caught, right?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Black guy.
He's a big fella, you know?
Michael Bissing's a big fella.
He knows how to fight, and they probably could sense that a little bit.
brendan schaub
But if there's ten of them, they usually don't give a fuck.
joe rogan
And he's probably hammered, too.
brendan schaub
What if it was ten Francis Ngannos?
Then you're giving your wallet, and the homies are running a train.
joe rogan
Bro, what if there's one Francis Ngannos?
What the fuck are you going to do?
brendan schaub
Nothing.
joe rogan
What the fuck are you going to do?
Nothing, dude.
brendan schaub
I love Bisping, man.
joe rogan
Eddie Izzard was telling me that when he was running, he ran like 27 marathons in South Africa, and when he went through certain sections of South Africa, they go, stop, you are not running through this area.
We're going to put you in a car, we're going to drive you to where it's safe, and then you're going to continue your run.
unidentified
God damn.
joe rogan
He goes, but you will get robbed.
Like, there's areas where you just will get robbed.
brendan schaub
I have no interest in going to Africa.
Everyone's like, oh, it's beautiful.
Very cool.
joe rogan
I want to go.
brendan schaub
You really?
joe rogan
Yeah, I want to go.
I want to see what those animals look like in the wild.
I would love to see, you know, before we fuck Africa up.
brendan schaub
You got 12 years, they say.
joe rogan
Before everything's gone?
brendan schaub
Before the way humans are fucking up the world, there's no going back.
If we don't make a change now.
That sounds like a Michael Jackson song.
unidentified
Well, that...
brendan schaub
That's from the ending of Little Dicky's new video of saving the world, but it does say it's like earth.org.
It's like that's a quote from them.
joe rogan
I don't think they know.
See, the reality is they know there's a real problem with carbon in the environment.
They know that human beings have put carbon in the environment in unprecedented levels, and they know that the earth is heating up rapidly.
But they don't know what exactly is going to happen.
There's some models they predict.
None of them look good.
They don't really know.
brendan schaub
No one really knows.
Some people are like, oh, global warming's not real.
Obviously our president doesn't think it is.
joe rogan
It's real.
But if you go back to the 1990s, they were predicting shit was going to happen that never happened.
Same thing with the 2000s.
But here we are in 2019, you know, we should listen to them because we're definitely fucking up.
brendan schaub
Definitely fucking up.
You see the whales and stuff with like trash on their stomach and dying and birds.
joe rogan
That's a giant problem.
brendan schaub
There's also too many people.
But what are you going to do?
joe rogan
Well, there's two schools of thought on that even.
The schools of thought on people is what happens is as the world gets more and more westernized, as people start developing careers, people have less and less kids.
And that if you look at Japan and you look at some westernized nations, they actually have a shortage of kids.
And they think that, and this is purely speculative, right?
It's just theoretical.
They think that as the world becomes more and more industrialized and westernized and more technology and more advanced, that people will start to have less kids.
brendan schaub
That's a fair point.
But also, even Americans, they're having kids later, and I think less as well.
But also, isn't there parts of Australia and Africa where no one's really there, so if we had to, we could colonize that and make it more livable?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Bro, the parts of Australia where no one lives, no one wants to live.
You don't want to live in the fucking middle where all the crocodiles are and shit.
brendan schaub
But we could figure it out.
joe rogan
Yeah, you could figure it out.
brendan schaub
Shoot a couple crocs, build a loft.
joe rogan
Snakes everywhere that'll kill you.
I mean, there's a lot of parts of Australia.
Australia's huge.
It's as big as the United States.
brendan schaub
It's so big.
But there's giant parts of Africa, too.
Giant parts where we could live if we had to.
joe rogan
But Australia has less people than L.A. I know.
The whole goddamn country.
brendan schaub
You've been there, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, a bunch.
brendan schaub
I love it there.
joe rogan
Love it.
brendan schaub
Nice people.
I'm sure you've done comedy.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, a bunch of times.
brendan schaub
The best.
joe rogan
Yeah, Sydney, Melbourne.
Melbourne's great.
Amazing.
I love Sydney, too, though.
Have a great time there.
brendan schaub
Have you been to New Zealand?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
No, I've never been to New Zealand.
brendan schaub
Dude, it's straight off of Jurassic Park.
joe rogan
What'd you do there?
brendan schaub
Comedy.
joe rogan
No shit, why?
brendan schaub
Did a theater in New Zealand.
joe rogan
When'd you do this?
brendan schaub
I think like a year and a half, two years ago, I did a tour of Australia and New Zealand.
joe rogan
Damn, that's when you were Justin.
I'm starting, too.
That's crazy.
brendan schaub
Check this out.
No openers came out cold.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
Why'd you do that?
brendan schaub
I don't...
Crazy.
No one...
Hey, man.
unidentified
I wouldn't have told you.
You didn't ask.
brendan schaub
How do you go to Australia and just go by yourself, man?
joe rogan
You didn't even ask.
brendan schaub
Nah, I just went, dude.
Here I am.
joe rogan
Showtime.
brendan schaub
Special.
It was fun, though.
Good experiences.
joe rogan
Oh, they're good people.
I like the people.
Everybody I met from New Zealand is very similar to Australian people, very down-to-earth.
brendan schaub
Super nice.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's a beautiful place, man.
I mean, they did The Hobbit there for a fucking reason.
brendan schaub
Yeah, good point.
Good food, good people.
Not that I could ever leave LA, but I could live somewhere like that.
joe rogan
I could live in Australia.
brendan schaub
Me too.
It's very American, but clean, I feel like.
joe rogan
Yeah, but the driving on the wrong side of the road shit, like, get it together, folks.
We invented cars.
The fuck are you doing over there in the left lane?
brendan schaub
That is strange.
joe rogan
Do you know where that came from?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Now, correct me.
This is bro science.
But when they were developing, it was like the wagons with the horses.
It's for sword fighting, right?
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, for horses and sword fighters.
brendan schaub
Oh, yes!
joe rogan
You got it.
That's why you swing a sword with your right arm.
You want your right arm to be facing your opponent.
You want to be free, right?
Yeah.
You don't want the dude to be over here on this side.
You got to reach over and try to hack at him.
brendan schaub
Doesn't make sense.
But here's a little loophole.
If you want a dope-ass rear car, you can get one with driving on the right, and it's going to be cheaper.
So if you want a Ferrari F12 TDF, like a limited one, you can save money if you get one that's set up on the right.
joe rogan
They set up on the right like an English car would be?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
unidentified
Really?
brendan schaub
Because they're harder to resell because there's less, less people.
joe rogan
Just throw them away.
brendan schaub
Oh, come on, dude.
joe rogan
Fix it.
brendan schaub
But you could just drive on the right.
You're still in a dope-ass ride.
joe rogan
Can they switch it out?
brendan schaub
Ugh, it'd be expensive.
Probably just buy it on the other side for the price.
joe rogan
What are they going to do?
Switch it out.
brendan schaub
They'd have to change everything.
That's a nightmare.
joe rogan
I saw they did that to this Revology car, this 1965 Mustang.
They built one that was on right-hand drive, and I'm looking at it, and I'm like, this is all so screwy.
Why would people not come to an agreement on which side of the road to drive on all over the world?
brendan schaub
It's very strange that they just stick with it.
joe rogan
Yeah, and it differs.
In Europe, it differs from country to country.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's almost an ego thing now, right?
Where they're like, nah, fuck, it refused to change.
Ah, most of the world's on the left, though, man.
We don't care.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, Germany makes the best cars, or some of the best cars.
brendan schaub
For sure.
joe rogan
They're on the left.
unidentified
Europe makes the best cars, and they're on the left, right?
joe rogan
America makes some pretty good cars, but really the reality is they can't go toe-to-toe with Europe.
They just can't.
brendan schaub
Dude, I was at this private car dealer, and there's those Paganis.
Have you ever seen those?
joe rogan
That's like a million-dollar car, right?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Some of them are, you know, you're looking...
Six, seven million dollars.
Paganis.
There's Bugattis, the rare brand new Bugatti.
And then there's all these limited edition Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
And he goes, oh, Floyd bought that one.
You can send it, though.
He won't care if you can send it.
And it was all like carbon fiber.
And I was like, how much is it?
And whatever the new Bugatti is, but there's a markup on them because there's only like 20 of them where the fuck it is.
And it was so expensive, I got nervous.
I went, I'm good, man.
He goes, you know what I'm saying?
I went, nah, I don't feel comfortable.
I'm good.
I just didn't feel comfortable opening this thing.
I don't know.
joe rogan
I felt very- It's a couple million dollars.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's crazy that you could buy a car that's worth more than most people's houses.
brendan schaub
99% of the world's houses.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
99.9% of the world's houses.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And you're just twerking that thing around.
joe rogan
Yeah, and you're just driving around in this thing that you can't even sleep in.
And then most...
brendan schaub
You can't do shit.
joe rogan
You can't shower.
brendan schaub
Drive fast as shit.
joe rogan
Drive fast as shit.
brendan schaub
25G's just to change the tires, though.
joe rogan
Is it really?
brendan schaub
Yeah, every year.
unidentified
That's hilarious.
brendan schaub
If you're driving it.
joe rogan
Is this it right here?
Do you see how it's already scratching?
Go back to the beginning of that video.
Look at the underside.
The underside of that thing is jacked.
brendan schaub
And that's all carbon fiber, so he scratched the fuck out of it, man.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, those cars, they scratch every time you hit a bump, every time you go over curbs.
brendan schaub
And that's the old one, Jamie.
joe rogan
When I have my little red car, the little red Porsche, every time I leave the comic store, it's scrape.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
It's embarrassing.
joe rogan
It's annoying.
brendan schaub
And it's so sad.
joe rogan
It's sad.
brendan schaub
I didn't mind the other day.
I was taking my dad to get ice cream.
I hit the front of my car.
unidentified
Scrape.
brendan schaub
Ruined my night.
Ruined my night.
My dad goes, what do you want?
I don't give a fuck.
joe rogan
Damn.
brendan schaub
I was so disappointed.
joe rogan
So sad.
brendan schaub
I know.
It's just a car though, right?
joe rogan
It is just a car.
What's the problem with nice things?
They become little velvet prisons.
brendan schaub
But you gotta drive them.
Like the dealer I was talking to where all these freaking dudes buy these million dollar cars.
He's like, you know what bothers me is they don't drive them.
None of them drive them.
For them it's investment and then they flip them years from now.
He goes, we want people that drive the cars.
And now what Ferrari's doing, if you want an Enzo, you want a certain limited run TDF or the Pizza, if you want some of those real limited edition ones, they look at your history because you have to own the past 10 Ferraris.
Yeah, they have a weird curriculum if you want to get a special limited edition.
But now they check if you've driven it.
If you're just a collector, they don't sell them to you anymore.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
brendan schaub
Certain ones, they go back and look at your history.
joe rogan
You have to own all the old Ferraris to qualify to buy a Ferrari?
brendan schaub
Certain Ferraris.
To get on the accolation, like on the list.
So if you want the new, whatever, the super fast, the limited TDF they're going to do, you have to own all the V12s and certain ones before that.
joe rogan
That is hilarious because that just shows you how goofy people are.
Like, they know that people are goofy, and they know that all you have to do is, like, sneak in on them some sort of exclusive thing that nobody else can have, so when you roll up on it, you look like a champ.
brendan schaub
And no one else does.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Even if it sucks.
Even if it's a sucky car.
brendan schaub
You know why I like it, though?
joe rogan
Why?
brendan schaub
Because some, let's say some billionaire, rich billionaire, where his daddy gave him all his money, he can't roll in the front and be like, I'll take that.
That's kind of cool.
unidentified
Nah.
brendan schaub
Now, it's a little extreme with the 10 and you gotta own all the V12s.
joe rogan
Nah.
brendan schaub
But, what do you mean?
joe rogan
They can suck it.
brendan schaub
You don't like it?
unidentified
Nah.
brendan schaub
Is it because you can't?
Well, you probably, I don't know.
joe rogan
I mean, who knows?
brendan schaub
You get it used, though.
That's the thing.
You just buy it used, though.
Alright, cool, dude.
That fuck's gonna buy it unless you get it from him.
You're not gonna stop it.
It's like illegal streaming.
joe rogan
You guys are just dumb business people.
How about you make more cars, stupid?
brendan schaub
Well, no, you don't want to become a Tesla or Prius.
joe rogan
How much can they sell?
How many are they leaving on the table?
Think about it that way.
brendan schaub
I don't think they care, right?
joe rogan
How many people are buying Ferraris?
Let's just take a guess.
Let's just say worldwide 100,000 people are buying Ferraris.
Maybe it would be 200,000.
Maybe if they just stopped being twats, there'd be 200,000 Ferraris out there instead of 100,000.
brendan schaub
I don't think they want that, though.
If everyone can have it, you don't want it, right?
joe rogan
That's just weird, man.
Girls are that way with purses.
You ever talk to girls about certain purses?
brendan schaub
Oh, for sure.
joe rogan
They get weird about purses.
It's so hard to get that purse.
brendan schaub
I'm like that with shoes, though.
joe rogan
I want the exclusive shoes.
brendan schaub
But you're kind of like that.
unidentified
With what?
brendan schaub
You're knocking it, but you're kind of like that.
joe rogan
What am I like about?
brendan schaub
Well, with your custom cars, one of the reasons that make it really cool is you're not going to see that custom car anywhere else.
That is specifically designed by you.
joe rogan
That's true, but that's not why I like it.
What I like it is because you can get something that you can't get anywhere else.
That's what I'm saying!
As far as performance.
Like when I get a Shark Works car, like the white car, that car, you can't just get that car.
It's a six-speed manual.
They don't make six-speed manual GT3 RSs anymore.
It has a 518 horsepower engine.
You can't get that.
They board it out.
They put fatter tires in it.
They beefed up the suspension.
They changed everything.
brendan schaub
For sure, but like your Bronco.
Exhaust, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, okay.
brendan schaub
It's pretty custom.
joe rogan
Can't buy those.
brendan schaub
Can't buy them.
joe rogan
Right.
But, honestly...
brendan schaub
Custom for Joe.
joe rogan
That car is like...
That's a cool-looking car.
brendan schaub
Hell yeah, it is.
joe rogan
But if you had to drive that every day, you'd probably blow your fucking brains out.
Unless you're one of those renegade dudes.
Like Lorenzo Lamas back in the day.
Wore cowboy boots, dusting his hair.
brendan schaub
I feel like Tate Fletcher would drive that every day.
joe rogan
At the end of 2017, the total of Ferrari built and sold cars in the whole company history is $199,000.
brendan schaub
So $200,000.
Ever.
joe rogan
Ever.
brendan schaub
You said $200,000 a year, but you were close.
joe rogan
Wow, I was way off.
jamie vernon
That would be like $8,000 to $10,000 a year, it looks like.
unidentified
See, that's dope!
joe rogan
That's why it's so hard to get one.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
It's kind of cool.
joe rogan
Yeah, look, it is definitely cool.
It's a cool car.
I mean, there's a reason why people want them.
They don't want shitty cars.
brendan schaub
No, they're a good car.
I wouldn't mind...
I think it's a 4...
I don't know if it's a 4.8, but they did make that in manual when it's so expensive.
joe rogan
What I like about, like, custom cars is that they're mechanical.
Like, when I talk about, like, muscle cars or Porsches or stuff like that, what I like is that they're mechanical.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, they're all stick shifts, manual transmissions.
You feel the gears and you feel the...
I like that.
brendan schaub
I love that.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I'm into that for whatever reason.
But I'm also into that fucking Tesla.
That Tesla's got me hooked.
brendan schaub
Yeah, for sure.
joe rogan
That thing puts a smile on my face.
brendan schaub
Does it really?
joe rogan
Oh my god.
brendan schaub
More so than when you're Porsches?
joe rogan
Nope.
brendan schaub
There you go.
joe rogan
Not more so.
brendan schaub
Oh man, it's gonna walk out.
joe rogan
Different smile.
brendan schaub
Different smile.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's like, wow, the future's weird.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because it's just, it's so much more capable.
No, no, no, no.
It's not ferocious.
Ferrari's ferocious.
That noise, the engine, the explosions behind your ear, mid-engine car, that's a different thing.
A muscle car, that rumble, the fucking big-ass V8, and the fat tailpipes, that's a different feel.
brendan schaub
Completely different.
joe rogan
Yeah, what you get from a Tesla is like, whoa.
Every other car just seems stupid.
It's like you're just making a lot of noise, but this thing just goes quicker.
It goes places.
What the Tesla does, it violates what you think the laws of driving are in terms of how quick a car can get from there to there.
And it does it with no sound.
So it's just strange.
brendan schaub
There's no torque or anything, right?
Oh, Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
It's like a thousand foot-pounds of torque.
brendan schaub
But isn't it just like a video game?
joe rogan
It throws you back like the craziest roller coaster you've ever been in.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
It goes zero to 60 in 2.4 seconds.
brendan schaub
You have the ludicrous one?
joe rogan
Yeah.
That's all.
I always leave it on ludicrous.
I never switched off that shit.
Like, why would I? I don't drive it.
You don't have to drive it like an asshole, but when you want to, it's right there.
brendan schaub
Is it using up more of the electricity?
Oh yeah, it eats that battery.
joe rogan
It eats that battery, kid.
If you want to drive...
What do they say it gets 317 miles?
unidentified
My ass.
joe rogan
Like grandma drives.
Yeah, like daddy drives, it gets like 170. Like daddy drives.
It might get 170 the way I drive.
brendan schaub
They were saying that...
People applying for a driver license, especially kids.
Like our kids?
I don't know if they're even going to be into cars.
I was talking to my dad.
I went, how cool is it?
He's been in all these cool cars.
Hopefully he's into cars when he gets older.
And my dad's like, yeah, maybe.
If he even wants a driver license.
Because now it's so low of kids passing a driver license test.
Because they just Uber everywhere.
They're like, what?
Why do I pay for a car?
I'm just getting Uber, man.
joe rogan
That is a great thing that you don't have to think about.
That does help a lot.
You don't think about drunk, being drunk, driving drunk, going to someone's house after the bar.
brendan schaub
It's cool it's an option, but it's not cool that kids...
There's some freedom about driving.
There's a good feeling if you're into it.
joe rogan
There's also the problem with things like Uber is you're going to get into a car with a person that you don't know.
And I'm sure most of them are great.
I'm sure.
But every now and then, you're going to get into a car with someone who's fucking nuts, and they're going to have some crazy political podcast on, want to talk to you about Hillary Clinton's emails.
brendan schaub
There's an option now, you know that?
You can click, they don't talk to you.
Do you want them to talk?
No.
That's a new option they're doing.
unidentified
They don't have to abide by it, I don't think.
It's like a preference for the rider.
jamie vernon
Like, hey, by the way, as I get in your car, I really would prefer you don't talk to me.
unidentified
But the driver is like, you're in my car, fuck you.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but most drivers, you're like, oh, he clicked don't talk?
If he's like, hey, did you see the don't talk?
The move is, hey, you got music up there, can you turn it up?
Then they usually don't talk.
But there has been a thing, to your point, where...
There's been people faking the Uber drivers, putting the sign on, and murdering women.
There's that.
joe rogan
Yeah, there has been that.
I heard about that recently.
brendan schaub
Dude, I've been in this, and I've been having terrible dreams.
I need to get off of it or just figure out how to deal, manage it better.
But I was doing a show on Sirius with Jim Norton, and he brought in this, the guy who basically created Mindhunter.
He was this, like, he's interviewed all the serial killers and speaks to him.
And they brought him in.
I think his name's John Douglas.
They brought him in.
He's just talking.
It was fascinating.
I was like, oh, shit.
So I got his book.
Almost finished his book.
I'm like, this is great, man.
And then started listening to a podcast he's on.
It's just about murder and death.
And I started looking up all this Charles Manson stuff.
And I've been having awful nightmares.
And been a little depressed.
And you know me, it's very rare I'm down.
It's just a dark fucking world, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, you watch those true crime shows, it'll fuck your head up.
brendan schaub
Dude, it makes you scared of everything.
But it's also going on.
joe rogan
It's going on in very small numbers.
Very, very small numbers.
But it is going on.
What it is, is people that have been abused, people that have been fucked up, psychopaths, and people that have been through the correction system, through the penal system.
Yeah, that's a lot of it.
brendan schaub
It's so dark, man.
joe rogan
There's not that many of them.
brendan schaub
And this guy has three daughters.
I was like, how can you...
He was talking about this seven-year-old terrible story.
And I was like, how can you go home, man, and sleep?
He's like...
Eventually, you know, it's just a job.
Like, it does affect me a little bit.
I'm like, do you just lock up your kids?
Like, just from hearing you, I don't want my son going to school.
I don't want him leaving.
He's like, nah, he learned to manage it.
And he did say that.
He's like, this is the exception.
Like, there's some dark stuff out there.
But these gentlemen, he interviewed Charles Manson.
He was saying how he's 5'2", and he always has to speak over you, no matter what's going on.
So they're in this room.
There's three people.
And Charles Manson, he got on a chair and stood over and shouted down to him.
joe rogan
What was he saying?
brendan schaub
I'm probably trying to convert him into a fucking cult.
joe rogan
You made me, man!
You people who made me eat your garbage, man!
brendan schaub
Hey, man!
joe rogan
Man!
I'm a product of your society, man.
brendan schaub
He's fucking crazy.
He was crazy.
He has a quote that I was reading.
Again, I'm too into it, man.
I'm quoting Charles Manson, what's going on with my life.
He was saying that it used to be like, you were the exception when you're crazy.
Now everybody's crazy.
joe rogan
That's what Manson was saying?
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He's like, it used to be kind of cool, the end thing to be crazy.
Now, in society, everybody's crazy.
joe rogan
Well, he made it popular.
The fuck?
brendan schaub
Do you know how popular that fucking crazy serial killer is and all his followers?
joe rogan
Oh my god.
brendan schaub
Even to this day, like I was reading this article in Rolling Stones, how many books and even merch and to buy locks of his hair is 50 grand.
It's going for 50 grand to buy locks of his hair.
And how he sells merch.
unidentified
That's insane.
joe rogan
50 grand for locks of his hair?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
How much is a lock?
What does that get you?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
I lost out on the bid.
joe rogan
Cut a lock in half?
You know what I'm saying?
Joe, let's split it.
brendan schaub
Put it in here, bro.
joe rogan
Who's to say how many hairs is in a lock?
brendan schaub
It could be a big piece, though.
joe rogan
What if he shaves his balls and you give a saran wrap baggie of his pubes?
How much does that work?
brendan schaub
100 G's?
Probably.
100 G's, dude.
Charles Manson dick piece?
joe rogan
He was married when he died.
The crazy bitches find serial killers in jail and marry them.
Happened with Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker.
brendan schaub
There's some sexual thing to it, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, some women want to be around killers.
And even in particular, guys have killed women.
brendan schaub
How crazy is that?
joe rogan
It's very crazy.
brendan schaub
Can you imagine when your daughters, when they're, let's say, 22...
joe rogan
Marries a serial killer?
brendan schaub
In prison?
At least you know she's not going to die, but it's safe.
joe rogan
Look, there's people out there, I don't have to tell you, that do a fucking terrible job of raising their kids.
You know, it's one of the reasons why people like you, people like me, people that get into being a parent, that really enjoy it, When you see something like that, it's even more disturbing because you know that when you see a serial killer or someone who's fucked up, that person was a baby that had a terrible life.
Almost always.
They just got a shitty roll of the dice.
They got bad parents.
brendan schaub
It's usually the moms.
It's the relationship with the moms that fuck them up.
Not so much the fathers.
Usually it's the mother-son relationship.
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Usually always mother-son and that's what usually causes the horrible- That's why Norman Bates from Psycho was so dead on, right?
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
He's dealing with his mom.
brendan schaub
He's the one who literally, he's Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson.
When there's something, like he was talking about JonBenet, which, you know, I'm from Denver, went to Squim, Boulder.
That was the JonBenet Ramsey murder case was such a big deal.
joe rogan
They still can't sell that house.
brendan schaub
They can't sell it.
I had a buddy, my strength coach, Doc Crease, rented it.
He was like, ah, fuck a ghost, and moved in there.
Like, right after the murders.
Anyway, so...
joe rogan
How did he handle it?
Did he freak out?
brendan schaub
No, he's cool.
He's from Louisiana, like, real tough dude.
Didn't give a fuck.
He says he didn't give a fuck.
joe rogan
They're missing a chromosome down there.
brendan schaub
Yeah, you'd be pretty crazy to move in there.
It was a great deal, and it was a great spot.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was for sale for years.
unidentified
For years.
brendan schaub
They might have knocked it down.
joe rogan
They should.
brendan schaub
I drove to the O.J. Simpson.
joe rogan
They should knock it down.
They should take out all the dirt and replace it with new dirt.
brendan schaub
Yeah, they should just knock down everything.
joe rogan
Just knock it down and dig a hole all the way to hell.
Whatever the fuck dirt was there.
brendan schaub
It's so dirty, man.
But that dude, he was just talking, talking.
And it was fascinating.
I didn't say a word.
And then we went to JonBenet.
I'm like, ooh, I'm going to chime in here because I know this case and I know it well.
And Jim asked him a question.
It was like, my time to jump in?
I go, yeah, but...
Yeah, but it's probably the parents, right?
Or maybe the son?
And he hasn't acknowledged me this entire interview.
I don't know if Jim noted this.
And he goes, what'd you say?
And I could tell I fucked up.
I go, it's probably the parents or the son, right?
And he goes, absolutely not.
Absolutely not, Brendan.
And then goes on how ridiculously of an assumption that is.
joe rogan
And I go, well, who does he think did it?
brendan schaub
Uh, he was, it's not them.
And he goes, the problem is the narrative that got painted outside of that when the media was going crazy and even the Boulder police, he goes, they were so far off and he listed like 10 reasons why it wasn't them.
And I kind of felt like an idiot.
I went, very cool.
I'll buy the book.
I'm going to shut the fuck up now.
joe rogan
The only problem was that a handwriting expert had connected the mother's handwriting to the ransom note.
brendan schaub
Dude, get him on this podcast.
It'd be fucking fascinating.
He's doing promotion right now.
joe rogan
I mean, I have no idea who killed JonBenet Ramsey.
brendan schaub
Johnny Douglas.
This guy does.
joe rogan
But I do remember.
I don't think he knows.
unidentified
No, no.
brendan schaub
He knows it.
He can tell you from his 70 years of experience dealing with murders, it's not the parents.
But he had evidence why it wasn't.
Because I said the same things, right?
I'm balls deep in JonBenet.
I grew up around it.
It was such a culture phenomenon.
joe rogan
Did he say who he thinks it is?
brendan schaub
Yeah, he did.
I forget.
But it's not the parents.
joe rogan
Someone who's alive?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
You gotta have him on.
I'm telling you, I've listened to a shitload of shows, and I was so into this, man.
I didn't even promote my special.
I was there to promote my special.
I didn't say a word.
I made one stupid comment about JonBenet's family, and then he was like, shut the fuck up.
joe rogan
Those fucking shows are very compelling, man.
unidentified
Why do you think that is?
joe rogan
You watch those true crime shows?
brendan schaub
Why am I drawn to...
Am I fucked up?
Why am I drawn to this serial killer shit?
joe rogan
Well, if you are fucked up, you're just like everybody else.
brendan schaub
Why do I buy Carl Manson's pubes on eBay?
joe rogan
How much do you pay?
brendan schaub
70 G's, man.
Can you imagine?
joe rogan
70 G's, but his pubes, they plucked them out so it has some DNA in them.
unidentified
Dude.
joe rogan
You could recreate Charles Manson.
What is this?
Charles Manson's hair.
$2,400.
brendan schaub
That's a steal!
joe rogan
This is for a bag of hair off the head of Charles Manson.
It was obtained July 2016 from an associate of Charles Manson.
brendan schaub
Oh no, that's weak, dude.
joe rogan
A COA. A certificate of authenticity will be included upon purchase.
By the way, there are no certificates of authenticity when it comes to Charles Manson's hair.
It's not like there's an accrediting body.
unidentified
It's DNA. We go over every aspect of this purchase.
brendan schaub
That shit's weak, though, man.
You want that 1970s hair strain.
You don't want the updated shit.
joe rogan
You want to be there when he cuts it off, really.
Yeah, you want to film him cutting it off, and then you want to vacuum seal it, and sign it, and film the whole thing.
You put it in one of them fucking vacuum bags, and then seal it.
Yeah, that way, no one's touched it, chopped right off his hair.
You got video footage of it.
You got video footage of him autographing the bag.
What the fuck is wrong with us?
Why are we talking about this?
brendan schaub
It's fascinating to me.
joe rogan
Did you watch the Game of Thrones finale?
Did you get bummed out?
brendan schaub
You know what?
joe rogan
Just like somebody else wrote it.
brendan schaub
I think they did.
Yeah, it's very strange.
I thought they did.
I loved, I did like season eight and I was good as the other seasons.
joe rogan
Hey, let's fucking get everybody know right now.
Spoiler alert.
brendan schaub
Hold up.
What is today?
unidentified
Thursday?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But some people have jobs.
unidentified
Is it Sunday?
joe rogan
Some people have jobs, Brendan.
unidentified
Sunday?
joe rogan
Some people work all day.
brendan schaub
Four days?
joe rogan
Some people work all day.
jamie vernon
I heard the New York Times put it on the front page of the paper on Monday.
brendan schaub
Yeah, we're clear, bro.
It's a serious finale.
unidentified
I think you're allowed to.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they did that because they can do that.
Not because they should do that.
unidentified
Nah, whatever.
brendan schaub
The next day's a little fun.
unidentified
Well, I think movies, you got a week.
brendan schaub
Movies, you got a week.
TV show, Two days.
joe rogan
Damn.
brendan schaub
Especially for that...
What, are we not supposed to talk about it because you're busy?
That's insane.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Did you like it?
joe rogan
That's exactly what it is.
No.
I didn't...
brendan schaub
I left unsatisfied.
joe rogan
I left unsatisfied.
When they made, spoiler alert, Homeboy the King, I was like, what in the fuck are you talking about?
brendan schaub
He didn't want it.
The whole fucking season.
joe rogan
All of a sudden, everybody's fighting to the death over who's the king.
They're ready to stab their brother, kill their mom.
They'll kill anybody.
They'll betray lovers.
But now, this guy's like, alright, I'll take it.
Everyone's like, you should be the king.
They're like, okay.
They all agree.
And how about that one guy that just stood up and is like, maybe I could be the king.
They're like, sit down.
brendan schaub
She said, sit down, bitch.
unidentified
What is this?
joe rogan
The Sopranos?
Like, what are you doing?
brendan schaub
It was strange.
joe rogan
Who is this guy?
brendan schaub
Who is that guy?
Bobby Lee had the greatest, I thought it was such a good ending.
So he says when everyone goes, you know, when they're deciding to be the king and then homeboy who's crippled is like, I'll do it.
And then when they're wheeling him away, he just looks over and he has the fucking White Walker eye.
joe rogan
Ooh, that would work.
brendan schaub
And then it closes.
joe rogan
You know what should happen?
brendan schaub
That's Bobby Lee's idea.
joe rogan
Jon Snow should have fought to the death with that dude who has an old dick.
unidentified
Yeah!
brendan schaub
I want to see that shit, dude.
joe rogan
They should have fought to the death.
brendan schaub
They hated each other.
joe rogan
Yeah, they hated each other.
brendan schaub
And how about that dude who was just like, cool, we'll let you go.
joe rogan
He was just like, yeah, you killed my girl.
unidentified
See ya.
joe rogan
No big deal.
What the fuck?
You get on the boat.
brendan schaub
What the fuck is that, dude?
joe rogan
There's no way.
They should have fought to the death.
unidentified
100%.
brendan schaub
Did you like episode three?
joe rogan
I'll tell you what I like.
I like when the Hound knocked the mountain off into the fire.
That was dope.
brendan schaub
That was poetic justice.
And he died by fire?
joe rogan
That was a dope scene.
brendan schaub
That shit was dope!
joe rogan
The best scene in the whole fucking series, though, was when...
No, the best scene in the whole fucking series when she was telling that dude that he betrayed her, and then from the darkness, the dragon's face appears.
And you're like, oh, Jesus.
This is where I was a powerful scene.
Those dragons are so fucking cool.
brendan schaub
They're so scary.
joe rogan
I'm so happy there's people out there that do special effects like that.
brendan schaub
That shit was dope.
joe rogan
Because it used to be kind of like semi-corny.
brendan schaub
Super corny.
joe rogan
Yeah.
You remember what was that movie?
There was a good dragon movie with Matthew McConaughey.
Back when Matthew McConaughey was jacked.
unidentified
Oh, fuck.
brendan schaub
Someone just brought this up on the show.
joe rogan
And Homeboy from Australia was in it, too.
Batman.
Fuck's his name.
brendan schaub
Oh, fuck.
joe rogan
What's his name?
Christian Bale.
brendan schaub
Christian Bale.
joe rogan
Christian Bale was in it, too.
unidentified
Rain of Fire.
joe rogan
What is it called?
Rain of Fire?
unidentified
Rain of Fire.
joe rogan
Yeah.
The dragons in there were corny compared to the Game of Thrones dragons.
brendan schaub
It has to be believable, dude.
joe rogan
Let me see a video.
brendan schaub
That poster looks sick.
joe rogan
Obviously we can't show it on the podcast or we'll get arrested and castrate us.
brendan schaub
Joe Carnahan was just talking about this.
joe rogan
Bro, this fucking movie was not a bad movie.
It was a little corny.
But for a dummy like me who really likes dragons, it was great stuff.
It was an interesting movie.
But the dragons, it's just crazy how much...
Because I want to say this was probably 2004. Am I correct?
brendan schaub
Before that.
2002?
joe rogan
I was pretty close.
Yeah, pretty close, dude.
brendan schaub
You've been on today.
joe rogan
But the difference between what the dragons looked like 17 years later in terms of special effects.
brendan schaub
Oh, dude, even dinosaurs from Dress Park 1 to Dress Park World?
joe rogan
Yeah, look at them.
They're not showing you much.
brendan schaub
That's the dragon's vision, though.
It's kind of gay.
joe rogan
Why is the dragon's vision homosexual?
brendan schaub
See, when I said that, I'm like, why did I say that?
joe rogan
Because you're a man, and we've been doing this our whole lives, and we have to relearn it.
brendan schaub
I know.
We've got to reprogram our brains, dude.
How about with Charlamagne?
I said, bitch.
I went, oh, that bitch is hot.
And he goes, in 2019, you're still calling women bitches, huh?
I went...
No.
joe rogan
But you were.
brendan schaub
But yes.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
But when he said that, I went, you got a good point.
Sometimes I do it on accident, like when we're watching Fight, when we do a Fight Companion, I go, damn, that bitch is tough.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you don't, it's all, here's the thing, man.
brendan schaub
Context.
joe rogan
Yes.
Don't make more words toxic.
It's all about intent.
What are you trying to say?
If a girl is a beast, and she's just a badass woman, and she walks out, and she's got...
I'm good, I'm good.
And she's got this crazy tight skirt on, this banging body that she's worked hard at in the gym, and she's got a beautiful dress, and she looks great.
You're like, damn, that bitch is hot.
That is not negative.
brendan schaub
It's not negative.
Is it derogatory, though?
But does it...
joe rogan
No, but it's not negative if you go, you fucking silly bitch to me, I'll laugh.
I'll fall down on the floor, I'll start laughing.
Like, you can call me a bitch and I think it's funny.
Yeah, me too.
But if you're like, hey man, you know, you fucking made fun of me on the podcast, bro.
That was a bitch move.
I'd be like, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
unidentified
But it's different.
brendan schaub
Same thing as like, if a car drives by, I'd be like, damn, that motherfucker's bad.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
But if the guy rolled down as well, I was like, hey, motherfucker.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
brendan schaub
It's like, all right, difference.
joe rogan
Different.
Yeah, it's intense.
The problem is when you have a word you can't say.
The word has too much goddamn power.
It's not that you should say the word.
Don't get me wrong.
There's certain words you probably shouldn't say because we've all agreed that those words have a negative impact on people.
brendan schaub
The F word probably, right?
F-A-G. That's probably one we stay away from.
joe rogan
We've all agreed.
Yeah, we've all agreed it has a negative impact on people.
But the real problem is intent.
The real problem is homophobic behavior in that, or homophobic thinking, homophobic ideology, thought processes, thinking that gay people are bad, thinking there's anything wrong with being gay.
That's the real problem.
If there was no problem with that at all, I mean, I just feel like...
I feel like it's not the right move to make words the problem.
The problem is the way people think and behave, and I think ultimately there's a real problem with language itself, because I think language is too limited.
I think when you have magic words that you can't say, and they have all this extra power connected to them...
brendan schaub
To give some power, yes.
joe rogan
But Lenny Bruce talked about that in the 60s.
He had a great bit about that, about saying all these words, because you can take away the meaning of them, and it won't hurt anybody's feelings anymore.
brendan schaub
But don't you think...
Let's say you are a homosexual and gay, that's what we refer to you as.
Gay is such a negative connotation.
Because growing up, gay meant not good.
So I'd be like, God, you look gay, dude.
Or, oh, that car's gay.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
That's the problem.
brendan schaub
It's so ingrained in my vernacular, though.
joe rogan
And the problem is it's such a good sound for that thought.
brendan schaub
It's a fun word.
joe rogan
The same thing is like calling someone a faggot.
You faggot.
Like that word.
Like when you say it like that.
Even if it's your friend.
Like your best friend.
It's got that sound.
brendan schaub
Why does it make us laugh?
joe rogan
Because it sounds good.
It's got a pop to it.
brendan schaub
There's power with that.
joe rogan
It starts with a fuck you.
It starts with an F. It's so.
Yeah.
unidentified
Crack.
Bang!
joe rogan
And it has zero to do with being gay.
But you can't say it anymore.
Because it hurts gay people's feelings.
brendan schaub
Like when Mike Tyson goes, I'm going to fuck you until you love me, faggot.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
brendan schaub
That makes sense.
You're going to fuck that guy and call him a faggot.
But you're trying to fuck him.
joe rogan
Who was the fucking reporter he was yelling at?
brendan schaub
He was a sheriff.
Terrified.
Who is that reporter?
joe rogan
Because that guy, did he vanish off the face of the earth after that?
I would like to know who that guy was.
brendan schaub
I was ringside when Deontay Wilder knocked out Brazil.
I was in Brooklyn for that with my brother.
joe rogan
Bro.
brendan schaub
Dude.
joe rogan
Bro.
unidentified
Dude.
brendan schaub
That guy.
I've been in fights.
I've been knocked out.
I've been at UFC fights where dudes get knocked out.
I have never in my life heard someone get knocked out like that.
My brother goes, oh my god.
And my brother's a raw dude.
He goes, oh my god.
And they sat us next to his family.
And it ruined it for me.
joe rogan
You can't cheer?
brendan schaub
I saw the wife.
I just went, oh my god.
I wouldn't cheer anyway.
But I was just like, oh my god.
And this is the funniest part is, my boy, shout out to Brian Daly at Showtime, goes, so in between rounds, probably two and three, Jim Gray's going to come and interview you about your Showtime special.
I go, Oh, that'd be cool.
They tell me the day before, so I get this nice outfit.
My brother's looking all fresh.
joe rogan
Did you really think it was going to get to round two or three?
brendan schaub
I thought it was going to go under four.
I didn't think one round, but I thought there was a chance.
They sent me there, and they're like, Jim Gray's going to come, and then, all right, we should probably get out of here, huh?
We should probably get out of here.
joe rogan
Deontay.
brendan schaub
Dude, I'm telling you, man.
joe rogan
He's something special.
brendan schaub
He's so special, man.
He's such a good dude.
You've had Fury on here.
I had him on, too.
joe rogan
He was amazing.
unidentified
He's great.
joe rogan
We had a great time.
brendan schaub
How passionate is he?
joe rogan
He's a sweetheart.
He's a really nice guy, too.
brendan schaub
That was my problem with him going, oh, I want to murder this guy.
I want to kill this guy.
And I want to exercise my right.
I'm like, ah.
I expect that from these...
For lack of a better term, these animals, these guys who aren't at your level, but he's such a good person.
I'm like, ah, dude, don't do that.
Because they can paint you into that box.
joe rogan
I believe that's going to just go away.
Oh, it did.
brendan schaub
It's gone now.
joe rogan
It's gone.
brendan schaub
It's gone.
joe rogan
His performance is so spectacular.
I think it goes away.
But I think it's also, that was his legitimate mindset at that time.
You know, I mean, that guy, if you listen to my podcast when I interviewed him and talked about how he got into boxing because of his daughter...
Do you do it on yours as well?
Talk about that?
That's a special person, man.
I mean, he became a bronze medalist in the Olympics after a year and a half of boxing.
That's insane.
brendan schaub
That's how special he is.
joe rogan
That's insane, man.
You've got to imagine, if he was in a year and a half of boxing and he's entering into the Olympics, he's going to be having matches against guys who have 10 years experience.
Easy.
brendan schaub
Hundreds of fights more than him.
Hundreds of fights.
Amateur fights.
joe rogan
Yeah, and he's got, like, virtually no experience, and he's not, like, the slickest guy in the world either, so he has to be able to take a shot, but he's got two giant advantages.
Huge reach, and ridiculous power.
And...
Athleticism.
Yeah, and I think because of the fact that he's not a big heavyweight, I don't think he gets as tired as they do.
brendan schaub
I agree.
But he came in this last fight, the heaviest he's ever been, he came in at 223 and went, that's interesting, because he's usually 214, 213. Dude, look at this.
joe rogan
That motherfucker, he punches so hard, man.
He's the scariest heavyweight knockout artist since Mike Tyson.
100%.
brendan schaub
When he was walking out, I looked at my brother, I went, you know how you feel right now?
You get goosebumps?
I went, imagine being on Mike Tyson fighting in his prime.
How that fucking crowd must have felt.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Because when he was walking out, I felt so bad for Brazil.
Because we're next to his family.
I'm like, he's such an underdog.
He's going to get knocked out.
It was just a weird feeling.
joe rogan
I think we're going to see that with Deontay Wilder.
I think Deontay Wilder is the new Mike Tyson.
brendan schaub
100%.
joe rogan
I think he's the new Mike Tyson.
brendan schaub
He hits that hard.
And what's interesting about him is everyone gives me shit.
They're like, you're such a homer because you work for Showtime.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
brendan schaub
Here's the thing about that, Joe.
What people don't realize is Deontay, while his fights are on Showtime, he's an independent contractor.
He doesn't have a promoter.
He's his team.
So DAZN offered him hundreds of millions of dollars, same as they offered Joshua and Canelo.
He turned it down.
unidentified
Damn.
brendan schaub
You know why?
Because he wants to fight Joshua.
He wants to fight Fury.
He goes, well, if I'm with them, that's going to limit me fighting Fury or Joshua.
If I'm independent, I can fight Joshua.
I can fight Wilder.
joe rogan
If I was Joshua or Wilder, I'd be terrified right now.
brendan schaub
Why do you think they...
joe rogan
I mean, not Wilder, rather, Fury.
Joshua or Fury.
I'd be terrified of that mindset.
brendan schaub
It's definitely easier fights.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's the scariest fighter of all time.
In the fucking 12th round, when he cracks Tyson Fury and drops him like that, in the 12th round, he still has this ridiculous power.
brendan schaub
And he's only getting better, but I think what happens is it's more likely, especially looking at the way promoters work, you're going to get Joshua versus Wilder before you get Fury.
joe rogan
Oh, I think so.
I think so.
brendan schaub
I'll take any of them.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm fine.
brendan schaub
But I want all three of them.
joe rogan
I do.
brendan schaub
These fucks owe it.
These fucks.
It's context, remember?
These fucks owe it to boxing.
joe rogan
Yes.
brendan schaub
To the legacy of boxing to fight each other.
joe rogan
Well, it's one of those rare moments in the heavyweight division where you have three unbelievably compelling guys.
And then one of them was a former champion who, by the way, the last fight was a draw and I thought he should have won a decision.
So if you look at it, I thought he should have won a decision, but I agree with the result.
brendan schaub
Me too.
joe rogan
Well, it's real squirrely.
brendan schaub
Preach.
joe rogan
Because the way Wilder hurt him, dropped him, and then knocked him down and almost had him flatlined in the 12th, and if you go over the actual count, the actual 10 count from 1 to 10 from the time he dropped, which is not what Tyson Fury's job is.
Tyson Fury's job is to get up and the referee says 9, and he did that.
brendan schaub
He did that.
joe rogan
But if you go by an actual clock.
brendan schaub
11 or 12, isn't it?
joe rogan
Yeah, you go by an actual clock.
brendan schaub
It's about 11 or 12 seconds.
joe rogan
Yeah, Tyson Fury lost that 10 count.
brendan schaub
But Fury won the rounds.
joe rogan
Yes.
brendan schaub
Fury won more rounds.
Hands down, he outboxed him.
But you're right.
That count was longer than 10. Yeah, he should have.
joe rogan
If you were just going by 10 seconds, Deontay Wilder has a real argument that he should have won by knockout.
brendan schaub
Here's the thing.
That's why I like the draw.
joe rogan
Yes.
brendan schaub
That's why the draw's fantastic.
unidentified
Perfect.
Cool.
brendan schaub
Run it back.
Let's get a clear winner.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And then Joshua, who's this animal out there, who's just this fucking, he's so damn good.
He's just like, all right, let's do this.
joe rogan
Honestly, though, what the fuck is a 10 count for if it's not 10 seconds?
Why does the referee get to make the count?
brendan schaub
Human error.
joe rogan
There should be in every fucking corner, every corner, wherever the fight is, there should be a clock.
And then when someone goes down, someone else, not the referee, hits that button.
This guy has 10 seconds.
brendan schaub
What?
unidentified
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, two, three, four, five.
brendan schaub
But he goes, one.
joe rogan
Not only that, he's jacked up with adrenaline.
brendan schaub
There's a huge knock out the crowd.
joe rogan
He might want a guy to get up.
He might want a guy to get up.
He might want to help him.
He might take extra time to rub the gloves on his chest.
Ask him a couple questions.
Are you okay?
Walk towards me.
Walk towards me.
What's today's date?
You can do all that shit.
You can give him a little bit of a break.
brendan schaub
Do you like the human error part?
Same with baseball.
The umps, they fuck up all the time.
joe rogan
Dude, the greatest of the greats, like Herb Dean and John McCarthy, have made mistakes.
It is impossible to not.
Herb Dean is the goddamn gold standard.
He's the best of the best of people working today.
And he will occasionally say that he made an error.
brendan schaub
John Doddard.
Amazing.
joe rogan
Amazing.
Fucks up.
People make mistakes.
They're human beings.
brendan schaub
Isn't it fun, though?
joe rogan
Bro, their job is so...
I fuck up all the time when I do commentary, and their job is so much harder than mine.
So much harder.
All I'm doing is talking while the fight's going on.
They're deciding if the fight ends.
brendan schaub
I disagree.
You're the voice to the fucking masses, bro.
joe rogan
It's not that hard to do.
brendan schaub
Go watch another organization.
Go watch another...
Or when you're not working...
joe rogan
But I'm not being humble.
I'm not being humble.
I'm just telling you.
brendan schaub
I'm doing that for you, brother.
I'm telling you, it's a tough fucking gig.
Go watch another fight.
Go watch DAZN when Canelo fought.
It was so bad, it was comical.
joe rogan
Who was doing the commentary?
brendan schaub
Not sure.
Doesn't matter.
Not good.
It was so bad it ruined the fight.
Nah, kind of.
It was so bad it was entertaining.
They were so pro Canelo and it wasn't professionally done.
joe rogan
You know who I like that is in a world of shit right now?
brendan schaub
You talking MMA or boxing?
joe rogan
Boxing.
brendan schaub
Who?
joe rogan
Paulie Malignaggi.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's the best.
joe rogan
Why is he spitting on people?
What's he doing?
He's a great commentator, man.
brendan schaub
To me, he's the best.
joe rogan
I think my number one favorite...
Here's my three top that I get excited when they're doing it.
Roy Jones Jr., Andre Ward, and Paulie Malignaggi.
brendan schaub
I think Andre and Paulie, they're both...
You can switch out to people you like.
joe rogan
The reason why I like Roy...
brendan schaub
I don't like Roy.
Too biased.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's okay, though.
This is why.
When he was at his best, he was the motherfucker of all motherfuckers.
He was like Floyd Mayweather, but he was knocking people dead.
He was putting his hands behind his back and knocking people out.
He was doing shit that no one could do.
He was fucking people up.
Roy Jones Jr. went on a streak for a long time where he was...
He had this freak athleticism and this...
He didn't even throw jabs half the time.
brendan schaub
Don't you think it's underappreciated?
joe rogan
Oh my god, so...
brendan schaub
Because the end of his career...
joe rogan
Well, you know, when Glenn Johnson KO'd him, when Magic Man KO'd him...
brendan schaub
Yeah, but that was...
But he had this run of greatness that we should appreciate.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, when I think of Anderson Silva, I don't think of him bitching out because his knee got kicked against Cononeer.
joe rogan
No, no.
brendan schaub
I think of Anderson Silva fucking front-kicking Vitor Belfort.
unidentified
Of course.
brendan schaub
Front-kicking fucking, you know, all these guys.
joe rogan
Of course.
brendan schaub
I think of that.
joe rogan
Yeah, of course.
brendan schaub
So it's weird with Roy...
I think because he just got knocked down in Russia like six days ago or whatever.
unidentified
Did he really?
brendan schaub
No, but he recently got knocked down in Russia.
joe rogan
I thought he won his last fight.
I think he won his last fight.
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
It's not good though, hopefully.
brendan schaub
See, Pauly's amazing though.
But Pauly, when he was going to fight that bare knuckle, I went on a little bit of rant.
Me and Pauly are close, man.
I went on a rant saying, I don't think he should do it.
I feel like he's punching down.
He's one of the best commentators.
He has a job so many people want.
Then, of course, me and Pauly work together, so we're breaking down the Wilder-Brazil fight in New York, and there was this weird...
Pauly's going to hear this.
I felt like there was this weird kind of...
joe rogan
Well, of course.
I mean, you're telling him not to do something that he's definitely going to do.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I know.
joe rogan
So you're resisting his idea.
brendan schaub
But if I was doing something you didn't want me to do, if you're doing something and we have an open conversation, there's no weirdness.
Like, why can't we talk about it?
If Pauly went up to me and was like, dude, I'm doing it because I'm going to knock this fuck out, dude, and hopefully I get McGregor out.
And also, I'm just kind of bored with my life, man.
This could be fun for me.
I went, oh, cool, man.
I support you.
I'm not shaming him.
joe rogan
I agree with you.
I feel where you're coming from and I agree that I would want you to tell me if you thought I was fucking up and it was a bad idea.
But I think that with a guy like him, I don't know what kind of options he has.
Nobody's beaten down his door to fight him.
I know that Conor didn't want to fight him.
He wasn't interested in that.
I don't know what other options he's got.
brendan schaub
He retired from boxing.
But also, he's one of the greatest analysts in the game.
joe rogan
But if he's going to fight a bare-knuckle boxing fight, there's got to be a financial motive for that.
brendan schaub
I would hope.
joe rogan
The only thing that makes sense is that that's a financial motive.
brendan schaub
But listen, Showtime pays him well.
Really?
Yeah, man.
So it's like, to do that, you know, you look at the payday, like Artem made, I think, $50,000 for the last fight.
So let's say they pay him triple.
Let's say they pay him quadruple.
Let's say he's making, what is that, fucking $250,000.
Is that enough to do a bare-knuckle fight when you're making six figures?
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
You know?
joe rogan
You could get your face fucked up, too.
That's the reality of those knuckles, man.
I'm changing my tune a little bit, but not all the way, but a little bit.
brendan schaub
Oh, come on, you gotta change your tune, Joe, a little bit.
joe rogan
But here's the thing.
You do get cut up more in bare-knuckle boxing, but you're also not kicking or using takedowns or anything else in bare-knuckle boxing.
brendan schaub
I think it'd be way more brutal if there was takedown and kicks.
Maybe.
I don't think the best guy wins also in Bare Knuckle.
unidentified
Why is that?
brendan schaub
Because, you know, Pauly has way more fighting experience than Artem, right?
So he's got more scar tissue.
So if there's a guy with a ton of scar tissue, your face opens up like a...
It looks like a murder scene.
It looks like a Charles Manson murder scene.
joe rogan
Because of the knuckles.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
So you might land seven shots to his two, but your face is fucked up against the fight.
joe rogan
But listen, nothing cuts you up more than elbows.
And elbows are 100% legal in the UFC. They're hard to pull off, though.
brendan schaub
Unless it's ground and pound.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Like, standing.
Like, I can't.
Like, old John can.
Like, he does that.
joe rogan
How about Johnny Walker?
Johnny Walker's got nasty elbows in the clutch.
brendan schaub
Did he really get fucked?
Did he really hurt?
Because he didn't hurt from him at all, right?
joe rogan
I think he recovered.
Like, whatever was wrong with his shoulder recovered.
But the reality is, if you hurt yourself so bad that you can't move your arm afterwards, coming from someone who's had some shoulder injuries, that to me is like, you got some damage in there.
brendan schaub
You know why else it's alarming?
Because when he did it, his adrenaline was so high, usually you can go through some shit.
If you got hurt bad enough where your adrenaline, I mean, you just won a huge fight, you're doing the worm after victory, and you can feel the pain, that's why, oh, fuck, there's probably damage there.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Because your adrenaline's so high, it numbs everything.
joe rogan
Just imagine if that winds up defining his career.
We've developed shoulder problems.
brendan schaub
I hope not.
joe rogan
Glover's had some serious shoulder problems ever since the John fight.
brendan schaub
He's also 70 years old.
joe rogan
How dare you?
brendan schaub
He's been fighting in Brazil since he was three.
joe rogan
But when John grabbed his arm and yanked it, back when Glover was the top contender, remember?
Yeah, I remember.
John got him in that overhook and ripped his fucking arm up.
Bro, I never saw anybody do that before.
I was like, that's genius.
That's a really smart thing because you're fucking super vulnerable in that position.
brendan schaub
No one really thinks about it.
He just grabs him.
joe rogan
Yep.
Just yanked it.
He fucked his shoulder up.
brendan schaub
John's the goat.
Hands down.
Not even close.
joe rogan
Well, it's him and the best expression in terms of what I've seen in the octagon is Mighty Mouse, but he just didn't fight the level of competition.
Except for Cejudo.
We're finding out Cejudo's the fucking man.
unidentified
Here's the thing with that, though, Joe.
joe rogan
We're definitely finding that out.
brendan schaub
And Mighty Mouse, you know, I love fucking Mighty Mouse.
Him or John can do one or two.
The problem with him being number one is that weight class, the margin of error is way higher.
So if I zig left when I should have zigged right, I'm not getting knocked out.
I can learn from him to go back.
If John zigs left when she went right by Glover, he's getting knocked the fuck out.
joe rogan
Maybe.
brendan schaub
The margin of error is so small.
joe rogan
John can take a shot, but if it's Rumble Johnson, he's getting knocked out.
brendan schaub
Maybe.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
We don't know.
John's that good.
That's true.
So when he beat Suhuda, right?
Suhuda had seven fights the first time.
Smoked him.
Suhuda gains experience, then he beats him.
joe rogan
Yep.
brendan schaub
So the pound for pound, that takes a little off of Mighty Mouse.
But I think he's two.
joe rogan
Did you agree with the decision when Cejudo beat him?
brendan schaub
It's so tough to tell, man.
It's tough.
It's fucking...
Listen, if they would have gave it to Mighty Mouse, I wouldn't have been mad at him.
joe rogan
I wouldn't have been mad at him.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about your boy Sage?
No worth the cut.
joe rogan
Yeah, Cosmo Alexander.
brendan schaub
Cosmo killed a guy.
joe rogan
He's a beast.
Did he?
brendan schaub
Sage is still in the hospital.
17 fractures in his face.
joe rogan
Yeah, no, he's still in the hospital.
I thought you meant he actually killed a guy outside of that.
brendan schaub
No, he basically did.
joe rogan
Because, you know, Sergey Kovalev did.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I know.
joe rogan
Kovalev killed a guy in a fight.
unidentified
Um...
joe rogan
Well, Cosmo Alexander is a world-class Muay Thai fighter.
I mean, John Wayne Parr fought him.
You know, he fought Nikki Holtzkin.
He's world-class.
As far as striking, it's a completely different level.
But I guess because it was an MMA fight, he was willing to take it.
But they fought stand-up.
brendan schaub
Poor management.
joe rogan
And Sage took that karate stance.
And the dude circled off to his right and landed that fucking right hand and it was on the bazette.
brendan schaub
That's the hardest right hand I've ever seen.
I can't think just from a world-class striker with four-ounce gloves on and he's circling into the right and it's like a fucking bomb.
joe rogan
It's pretty goddamn strong and Cosmo's a beast of a man.
I mean, he's a big, thick dude.
See, I mean, a big, thick dude with multiple world titles to his name.
brendan schaub
Don't you feel bad for Sage?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a terrible matchup.
I don't know why they agreed to let him fight that guy.
unidentified
Boom!
joe rogan
It's just not smart.
Because that.
Because the kickboxing and the stand-up.
brendan schaub
He doesn't have the experience to be in that.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
I mean, Sage is good.
He's very good.
But these kind of losses are terrible for his future.
Because they're mismanagement losses, in my opinion.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
I think, Sage is what, 22?
Like, look at that punch that lands.
I mean, that is ferocious.
brendan schaub
From a world-class striker!
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, that's full blast, dude.
That is a full blast shot.
brendan schaub
That is a full circle right.
joe rogan
You can't get hit cleaner than that.
brendan schaub
No, you can't even hit him.
It'd be hard to hit a fucking double and bag that hard.
joe rogan
But meanwhile, when he fought, you ever seen him when he fought Nicky Holtzkin?
brendan schaub
Cosmo?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah, he got out of class, for sure.
brendan schaub
There's levels, but in MMA, Sage isn't even...
They shouldn't be sharing the same ring.
If I'm on championships, though, why would I bring this stud, this American stud who looks like Ryu from Street Fighter, and go, hey, first fight, here's the most world-class striker we got on the roster?
joe rogan
Well, because they want him to be tested.
And I think that if I was Chautry, I would be looking at it like this.
When a guy like Eddie Alvarez gets KO'd, or a guy like Sage Northcutt gets KO'd, or a guy like Mighty Mouse gets tagged and has a real fight on his hands, then you're showing the whole world.
Like, hey, these guys that are coming over here that are world-class fighters, they're fighting world-class fighters.
And they're getting knocked out.
brendan schaub
I get that.
joe rogan
It's a great thing for them, I think.
brendan schaub
So with Eddie Alvarez, veteran, he should be a Hall of Famer, Bellator champ, UFC champ.
Give him the best you got.
He's seen it all.
It's going to be tough to get one past him.
Sage Northcutt, Mighty Mouse, give him the best you got.
He's seen it all.
Good luck getting past him.
Sage Northcutt, you're investing in his future.
He's not ready.
joe rogan
That's a good point.
brendan schaub
So you've kind of fucked him, man.
Also, you're trying to get in the American market.
joe rogan
But Cosmo's not an MMA fighter.
That's the thing.
This is Cosmo's first MMA fight.
What if Sage just takes him down and smashes him?
brendan schaub
That would have been great.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I mean, that could have happened too.
brendan schaub
That's not Sage style.
He's not a grappler.
joe rogan
Okay, but he knows how to grapple.
Sage is taking guys down in the octagon before.
brendan schaub
Taking Cosmo down is easier than said.
He used to train with me and Rashad at Black's Aliens and fuck us up.
joe rogan
Did he?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
It's a nightmare.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
So when I saw it for Sage, I'm like, what?
Also, are you building Cosmo?
He's older, man.
joe rogan
Well, he's only 34. 37. 37?
Is he?
brendan schaub
37 has 1,000 kickboxing matches?
Like, you're going to invest in that now?
From a business aspect, it doesn't make sense to me.
joe rogan
I think it does, though, because it shows, with two giant results over the last two months, that one has world-class talent there, and I think it makes people pay more attention to one.
brendan schaub
Not me.
It put me off of him.
Really?
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, that's crazy.
brendan schaub
I went, oh, that's fucked up.
joe rogan
No, see, listen, man.
brendan schaub
I'm a sage man.
joe rogan
Cosmo is a fucking Muay Thai fighter.
I mean, that's his bread and butter.
He fights Muay Thai.
brendan schaub
Stand-up's his bread and butter, yeah.
joe rogan
So when Cosmo goes and fights in an MMA fight, you would think at least in one area he's going to be at a disadvantage.
If Sage chooses to have a stand-up fight with a world-class stand-up fighter, that's just bad strategy.
brendan schaub
That's Sage's game, though, especially as a young fighter.
joe rogan
It is his game, but he's a mixed martial arts fighter.
Then he should become a kickboxer.
If that's his game, it's just to stand up and strike with people, then just stay a kickboxer.
Listen, man, if you're going to fight in MMA, in MMA you could do everything.
What do you want to do in this fight?
Don't you want to win?
Okay, good.
I want you to win.
Here's how you win.
You don't stand with one of the best fucking strikers in the world.
brendan schaub
How old is he?
joe rogan
22. Sage?
brendan schaub
Come on.
joe rogan
Yeah.
But you just tell him.
This is an exercise and strategy.
You keep that side stance, that's fine.
Bait him in, but then shoot.
Just get the clinch and drag that motherfucker to the ground and let's wear him out.
brendan schaub
I'm with you.
Which he's never done in any fight ever.
joe rogan
But he has taken guys down before.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
But let's say you see your manager and they go, hey, here's Cosmo.
I go, hold on.
Let me go through this with you, Sage.
Pros.
You beat a straight world-class kickboxer in MMA. He's also 37 years old.
Not a lot of pros.
Cons.
joe rogan
Okay, but he's 37 years old.
brendan schaub
You can't take him down.
He fucking starches you and your face gets broken 17 places and your career is probably...
Not going well.
The trajectory's definitely off the rails.
Pros, cons.
joe rogan
That's true.
It's just, if you look at the way boxing has always done it, and it's been often criticized, but there's some real good points to it about developing a fighter.
You give a guy, a fighter, a difficult fight that you think that he has the advantage in, but it's an advantage that will teach him some things.
Like, when the guy fights with him, what is this, Jimmy?
Cosmo's ninth fight was against Sage.
Oh, he's had a bunch of MMA fights?
Why did he say that on his...
brendan schaub
And he knocks out everybody.
joe rogan
He said it on his...
I don't know.
His...
What the fuck?
His Instagram post about it.
brendan schaub
He's no joke, man.
joe rogan
That he doesn't fight MMA. He's no fucking joke.
unidentified
He's knocked everybody out almost.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus Christ.
brendan schaub
Yeah, start to everyone.
One championship goes, here you go.
joe rogan
Yeah, he looked...
It's been a couple years, I guess.
Oh, I see.
brendan schaub
2016. Don't let that fool you though, man, because he's training with the best of the best as well.
joe rogan
Bottom line is, as a striker, he's superb.
But then the crazy thing is, pull up the Nicky Holtzkin fight.
Nicky Holtzkin knocks out Cosmo Alexandra.
That just shows you how many levels there are.
But then Nicky Holtzkin just lost to Regian Urso.
Just lost to him.
Got dropped with a knee.
It's so interesting, man, when you see levels upon levels upon levels, and you don't necessarily know that these levels even exist unless you're balls deep in the fucking sport.
You see a guy like Nicky, first of all, Nicky's one of the best body punchers in kickboxing.
unidentified
Ever!
joe rogan
And this is a kickboxing fight as opposed to a Muay Thai fight as well.
So, no elbows, limited clinching, and you can only hold for like three seconds when you throw a knee.
You can only hold while you're...
Like, think one knee at a time or something like that.
They have weird rules, you know?
brendan schaub
Here's the thing.
The fact that Cosmo Alexander went toe-to-toe with Nicky Holton, I'm probably going to pass on my young, 22-year-old, wide-eyed youngster fighting him.
joe rogan
Nicky Holton had an amazing career and glory, too.
Some fucking incredible fights.
The Joseph Valtellini fight where he knocked him out in the last round.
Yeah, he's a beast, man.
Super, super technical and just tough as shit.
Yeah, I mean, look at just the way these guys are standing in front of you.
They're just checking everything.
Look at the technique, bro.
Perfect technique.
brendan schaub
It's insane.
joe rogan
Perfect defense.
Oh, we dropped him with that left hook.
Yeah.
Look, Holtzkin's a monster.
This is, by the way, a kickboxing fight.
Holtzkin also fought Cosmo Alexander and knocked him out in one FC. This is showtime in Amsterdam.
This is quite a few years ago.
It's Showtime was the shit, man.
You used to get it on AXS TV back when AXS TV was HDNet.
Do you remember that?
Mark Cuban's network.
unidentified
Fuck, yeah.
brendan schaub
HDNet was dope.
That MMA Live with Ron Kruk.
joe rogan
Yes.
brendan schaub
I used to go on there all the time.
joe rogan
Boss Ruten.
brendan schaub
Hell yeah.
joe rogan
And who's the other guy that Boss Ruten was on with?
brendan schaub
Our boy Mauro Ranella.
unidentified
No, no, no.
joe rogan
The other guy.
There was another guy who was on.
Kenny Rice.
Oh, Kenny Rice?
brendan schaub
Kenny.
unidentified
Kenny Rice.
joe rogan
Kenny Rice, yeah.
brendan schaub
That's right.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Wasn't Mauro on there too for a long time?
joe rogan
I don't know.
Was Morrow on that?
brendan schaub
Morrow was on there.
Am I going crazy?
unidentified
You might be crazy.
brendan schaub
Kenny was on there, though.
joe rogan
Kenny was definitely on there.
brendan schaub
Ron Kruk was the best.
joe rogan
They used to have all these great kickboxing matches from Amsterdam and shit.
brendan schaub
But you see ESPN now has PFL on it.
unidentified
Oh, do they?
If you're balls deep in MMA, they have PFL. Morrow was on that, yeah.
joe rogan
He was on that.
I was on that a bunch of times.
I've been on it a couple times.
What?
jamie vernon
For the first nine seasons, it was hosted by Kenny Rice.
joe rogan
Oh, and then Moral came on later?
brendan schaub
Yeah, Kenny used to fly in from Kentucky, I remember.
Just fly in, do the show, fly back out.
I'm like, for sure, move here, huh?
joe rogan
Yeah, well, maybe he really likes Kentucky.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he loved it.
Have to.
joe rogan
What do you like about it?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
Kentucky Derby once a year.
Keep you there.
unidentified
Is that what it is?
brendan schaub
Bourbon.
joe rogan
I want to go to the Kentucky Derby.
brendan schaub
Me too.
That's just crazy.
joe rogan
I want to take acid.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I'm so down for that.
And wear suits like Dumb and Dumber.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah!
That shit would be dope.
Let's do it next year.
brendan schaub
And get sloshed off fucking bourbon.
joe rogan
Yeah, next year.
Take acid and go to the Derby.
unidentified
Check out that Buffalo Trace distillery or whatever.
joe rogan
Oh yeah.
brendan schaub
Is it out there?
joe rogan
I don't want to be on acid at the Buffalo Trace distillery.
brendan schaub
Dude, I drink whiskey almost every day now.
unidentified
Really?
brendan schaub
What's happening?
I don't know, dude.
I'm getting older.
I got the palate for whiskey.
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
A lot of stress.
joe rogan
What about cigars?
Do you like cigars?
brendan schaub
Nope, not my thing yet.
I like olives.
I used to hate olives.
Love olives now.
And whiskey, dude.
I don't know why.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
brendan schaub
What whiskey is this?
I'm gonna have a little more, by the way.
joe rogan
What's it called again, Jamie?
unidentified
Blanton's.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's Blanton's.
brendan schaub
It is delicious.
joe rogan
Who brought us that?
unidentified
I have no idea.
joe rogan
It could have been Sam Harris, but anybody could have brought it.
unidentified
I don't remember, honestly.
brendan schaub
This can't be cheap.
Just feeling this goblet that they got here.
This grenade goblet they got.
This Game of Thrones goblet is sick.
Dude, someone gave me Johnny Walker White Walker whiskey.
Shout out, Todd Feldman.
joe rogan
White Walker whiskey?
brendan schaub
Bring that shit up, Jamie.
joe rogan
White Walker whiskey from Game of Thrones?
brendan schaub
Limited edition.
joe rogan
I'm not drinking that zombie piss.
brendan schaub
The bottle's so sick, I don't want people touching it.
unidentified
Really?
brendan schaub
Oh, it's a collector's item, man.
joe rogan
Collecting bottles of Game of Thrones.
Oh, my God.
brendan schaub
I got that shit, bro.
Is it sold out?
They want a goddamn Enzo Ferrari.
joe rogan
Oh, they want you to have your birthday.
Mmm, John.
brendan schaub
Dude, how dope is that?
That's pretty cool.
Johnny Walker's a White Walker?
joe rogan
Yeah, but what do you want to be aligned with the biggest fucking assholes in the realm?
Come on, Johnny Walker.
brendan schaub
I wish they would have won.
joe rogan
What if Johnny Walker were the Nazis?
brendan schaub
I wish they would have won.
joe rogan
Johnny Walker, Nazi vodka.
Would you buy that?
No.
Why the fuck are you buying White Walker whiskey?
Or White Walker bourbon or whatever it is.
brendan schaub
It was a gift, bro.
joe rogan
Fuck that.
Fuck the White Walkers.
brendan schaub
Can you drive my Ferrari home?
joe rogan
Bro.
brendan schaub
For me.
joe rogan
Are you going to get hammered?
brendan schaub
I wouldn't mind.
joe rogan
Stick around.
brendan schaub
Shoot some arrows.
joe rogan
Shoot some arrows.
Get in the flow tank.
Relax, my friend.
Relax.
So, there's some other good fights that happened this weekend.
Oh, dude.
Rafael Dos Anjos versus Kevin Lee.
brendan schaub
I didn't see it, bro.
It's how busy I've been.
I was at the Wilder fight.
I missed that.
I know Dos Anjos looked good and beat Kevin Lee.
Kevin Lee needs a new camp.
joe rogan
Kevin Lee needs a camp.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I think Kevin Lee should go to Farah Sahabi.
That's my advice.
brendan schaub
Or Jackson's.
joe rogan
The reason why Farras Ahabi is because Kevin Lee's skill set is very similar to George St. Pierre's.
unidentified
That's a good point.
joe rogan
Very good striking.
brendan schaub
Athletic.
joe rogan
Very athletic.
Explosive.
And great timing with his takedowns.
Nobody knows how to coach that better than Farras Ahabi.
brendan schaub
It's a good idea.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
It's not bad at all.
joe rogan
That's what I think.
brendan schaub
Oh, Aaron Pico just went to Jackson's.
joe rogan
Yes, I think that's a great move too.
Oh yeah, I hooked him up with my boy Vinny Shorman too.
So I told him that I think that he should go to Ferasa Hobbies and I told him about Vinny Shorman who's an incredible mental coach.
I do think he's going to be champ.
brendan schaub
He's got all the tools.
I actually believe that.
If he gets his shit together and goes to a legit camp, because you remember his coach passed away, right?
joe rogan
Yes.
Robert Follis, who was very close to them.
brendan schaub
Such a shame.
joe rogan
Amazing, amazing guy.
brendan schaub
And so he passed away, and then it was like he was like, I'll just stay here and put together this kind of ragtag group, and we'll figure it out.
The UFC now is at such a high level to compete with the guys he's competing with.
You've got to have a good camp, man.
Like a legit coach, head coach, leader.
joe rogan
It's no disrespect to any small camps or small gyms that don't have the experience.
No, I'm not trying to be.
I'm just saying that an athlete has a small fucking window, man.
Like, Kevin is 26, right?
So he's got 10 years.
brendan schaub
He's lost three out of his last four?
joe rogan
Yeah, not good.
brendan schaub
UFC don't play with that shit.
joe rogan
And before that, he was beating guys in pretty spectacular fashion, right?
Robert Foles' death had a tremendous impact on him as a fighter, as a person.
And then he fought some really great fighters, too, on top of that, you know?
And Al Iaquinta, man, I mean, from the jump of that fight, from the get-go, when he hit him with that spinning backfist, he let him know, like, this is, you're in a dogfight, man.
brendan schaub
Also, that Tony Ferguson fight was a dogfight.
joe rogan
A dogfight.
A dogfight.
Yeah, these guys have dogfights.
And when the Tony Ferguson fight, he had a staph infection clear, 100%.
brendan schaub
Yeah, and he looked good, though.
Took Tony down, was on top, got choked out.
joe rogan
Got his mount.
brendan schaub
Like, he looked fucking good, man.
joe rogan
Look, when you have, you've had staph before, right?
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's awful.
joe rogan
And the way it drains your body.
brendan schaub
It's the antibiotics that drains your body.
joe rogan
Well, the staff does, too.
I mean, if you get it to as far as where it is with him, he's in a full infection.
brendan schaub
He has a full infection, so it's in his bloodstream, but the thing that fucks your cardio and your energy, like...
Like no other?
The antibiotics do.
Fuck you so bad.
joe rogan
They do.
But so does the staph.
Especially when it's that bad.
I mean, he's got a fucking giant squirrel growing out of his tit.
Remember that?
brendan schaub
And they told DC not to say anything?
unidentified
They told DC not to say anything.
joe rogan
I saw it immediately.
He walked in the octagon.
I'm like, he's got staph.
I go, that's staph.
And then I go, hey, DC. I go, is that staph?
That looks like staph to me.
And they go, do not talk about the staph.
unidentified
He goes, that looks like staph to me, Joe!
joe rogan
He doesn't give a fuck.
unidentified
I love him.
joe rogan
Like, bitch, you're talking to Daniel Cormier.
You can't help him not talk about staff.
brendan schaub
The guy who knows staff better than anyone in that goddamn arena.
joe rogan
Get the fuck out of here.
It's staff.
brendan schaub
He's a wrestling coach.
joe rogan
Listen, we would be doing a massive disservice to the viewing public if we didn't admit that it was staff.
It's part of the drama.
It's part of what makes the fights interesting.
But my take on Kevin Lee is he's a great guy.
I'm going to have him on again.
He's going to come on again soon.
brendan schaub
He's the best.
joe rogan
He's a great person.
I like talking to him.
brendan schaub
He's very smart.
Let me know where you have him, Mark, because I'll put him on the food truck diary.
joe rogan
Okay.
brendan schaub
He's great.
joe rogan
I'll text you.
brendan schaub
I'll split the cost with you or whatever you want.
joe rogan
Nah, don't worry about it.
But anyway, there's a defining moment in a fighter's career when they realize they need to make changes.
They're not doing things the way they should be doing them, and they need to make some changes.
brendan schaub
But I think one of the reasons why you care and I care, especially with Kevin, if it was somebody else, some other guys, I won't mention names, but with Kevin, I go, well, no, he can be champ.
He just has to change a few things, and you're going to see this kid as champion.
The other guy's like, ah, just keep doing what you're doing.
joe rogan
He 100% can be complete.
brendan schaub
He has the skills, the mindset, and he has the full package.
He looks good, speaks good, dresses well, has the skills, sign me up.
joe rogan
He's a good person, too.
When you talk to him, he's a good person.
brendan schaub
You can feel it.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a good person.
He's just gotta make some changes and he needs a Mastro.
He needs a fucking conductor.
He needs a Greg Jackson or a Matt Hume or a Faraz Adi.
brendan schaub
You can't get there without it these days.
joe rogan
Or a Duke Rufus.
brendan schaub
A Mike Brown at ATT. Yep, yep, yep.
Dude, I have Dustin Poirier on Food Truck Diaries.
joe rogan
Brown's amazing.
brendan schaub
I'm sorry, not Mike Brown, Dustin Poirion.
But he was talking about Mike Brown, how great he is, and Dustin the diamond Poirion.
And he started talking about his wife.
Dude, I'm balls deep into chicken and waffles, eating the food truck, you know, stuff.
And he starts talking about her, and we're probably 30 minutes in it.
I started getting terry-eyed.
He starts getting terry-eyed.
He was just talking about how, because I was telling him, like, it's a long journey.
How have you not, like, I can't believe you didn't stop at some point.
Like, you've been doing it since you were 18. How have you not stopped?
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
And he goes, honestly, I haven't said this before, I would have stopped.
I've thought about retiring, and my wife told me I can't.
She's giving me these pep talks.
I'm like, that's nuts, man.
How long have you been winning?
He goes, oh, she drove me to my first fight.
My first fight before I got out of the car.
I get emotional now.
He goes, before I got out of the car, she told me you're going to be world champion.
Dude, I got chills.
I'm like, dude, you're giving me fucking chills.
I'm like, well, because you are a champ.
People are always interim champ.
I don't care.
joe rogan
It's still part of champion.
Dude, he'd be one of the best fighters on earth.
brendan schaub
Pound for pound, 145 great.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Top three great.
joe rogan
He's the best 145 pounder ever.
And he's without a doubt one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world.
And Dustin beat him.
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
There's no doubt about it.
brendan schaub
So he's a champ in some form.
He has a belt.
And I went, you made it.
And I told him, I said...
I'm terrible at this, so this is me telling you.
This is probably me deflecting what I should be doing, but you're going to fight Khabib.
And I said, I don't give a fuck how that fight goes.
You've done it, brother.
When you were 18, you decided to go on this journey, become UFC champion.
You had all these dreams, your wife, how many sacrifices.
You guys have a little girl now, and you're there, man.
I said, I don't care if Khabib beat your ass for five rounds.
You've done it, dude.
I went, please acknowledge that.
joe rogan
Nobody wants to hear that, though.
Nobody wants to hear, I don't care if Khabib beats you.
brendan schaub
But what I'm telling him is, you've succeeded.
Mission accomplished, brother.
Mission accomplished.
I went, how crazy is that to hear?
Mission accomplished.
joe rogan
What did he think though?
Probably doesn't think like that.
Probably thinks he's still on the quest.
brendan schaub
I don't think you can.
Do you think like that?
Guys who have that weird engine in them don't think like that.
I've never felt more pressure in my life to become a better comic than when I released my special.
joe rogan
Of course.
brendan schaub
I'm like, oh shit, now the work starts.
That was whatever.
joe rogan
Dude, I've never satisfied with myself more than 15-20 minutes a week.
brendan schaub
I wish I had 15 minutes where I was.
I couldn't tell you I was.
joe rogan
15, 20 minutes a week, I'll have a glass of wine, I'll put my feet up, I'll kick back, and then that little voice in the back of my head is like, are you doing everything you can do?
Get up.
Come on.
Gotta get some shit done.
brendan schaub
It's kind of a demon, though, isn't it, Joe?
It's a demon.
100%.
One of my dreams was to buy the car that I bought, and I bought it, and we're in bed, and my girl goes, how do you feel?
I went, exactly the same.
I think material things, they don't matter at all.
And the next day, we wake up, and I get up with my son every morning, and we always watch cars on YouTube, and she goes, what the fuck?
I'm watching a different car.
She goes, what the fuck are you doing?
I'm looking at the next car.
She's like, there's no way.
I'm like, I need goals.
As soon as we bought our house.
I swear to God, the next morning.
She goes, what are you doing?
I go, looking at the next house.
I don't know what to do.
joe rogan
No, that's normal.
brendan schaub
My message to Dustin was enjoy this.
joe rogan
But don't get...
The thing about stuff, though, as opposed to goals, is stuff, you could always just keep buying stuff and making money to buy stuff.
And then you find yourself being one of those people that just does stuff for money because you want to buy the stuff.
brendan schaub
I've never done that, though.
joe rogan
But there are people like that out there, right?
I've heard Steve Harvey talk about money, like how much money he wants to make per year, and someone was making fun of it.
And I was thinking, well, he's in this vibe where he's trying to get stuff and make money, and you gotta make money to get stuff, and you get sort of in this game of accumulating more and bigger and better things.
For me, the most important thing is the stuff that I put out if people like it.
If I do a UFC and I suck, if I stumble through something or I make a bad call, that shit will fuck me up for days.
brendan schaub
And there's nothing you can do to fix it.
joe rogan
Nothing I can do to fix it.
brendan schaub
You'd get a Lamborghini, a Ferrari, it's not going to help fill that void.
joe rogan
It wouldn't do a damn thing.
Same with a podcast.
If I do a podcast, it doesn't go well.
If I do a set, the set doesn't go well, or I stumble through a joke...
All I care about is the stuff that I do in terms of, like, progress.
I focus all my progress on that.
I'll distract myself with stuff, but, like, look, this watch costs like 50 bucks or something.
I don't know.
brendan schaub
Is that Todd Hoyer?
joe rogan
That's a taser.
brendan schaub
Not 50, but I hear you.
joe rogan
It's a military watch.
Well, it's like 300 bucks, maybe.
But you know what I'm saying?
brendan schaub
But it doesn't matter.
Whether that's 500 or 300 bucks, or this is 22 grand.
Not a big deal.
22 grand.
But it doesn't matter.
joe rogan
American money?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Stone cold cash.
Not a big deal.
Rolex.
joe rogan
Did you just make that from talking?
brendan schaub
Yes.
Talking shit.
joe rogan
You're just talking shit?
Just talking shit.
brendan schaub
My point is, that doesn't make you happy.
It doesn't make you feel any way.
This doesn't make me feel any way.
None of it.
The more I learn, the more I... Accumulate these material things.
It doesn't mean shit, man.
joe rogan
The only thing that means shit is your friends and your loved ones and what you're trying to do with your life.
brendan schaub
Bob Dylan said it best.
They said, you know, what's success to you?
He goes, not having to work for assholes and waking up and going to bed doing exactly what I want.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Boom, set, match.
joe rogan
You're already doing that, right?
brendan schaub
I'm already doing that.
The only time I ever felt, I guess, somewhat successful, I really don't, but the only time I felt a little successful is when I turned down a big gig on a major network to do TV. I went, no, I'm kind of good, man.
I'm good doing what I want to do, and I own all this stuff, and I'm not pressed to do it.
joe rogan
Do you imagine what it would be like if you had a boss?
Remember the shit that you guys were dealing with at Fox?
We were telling you to stop cursing on the Fighter and the Kid?
brendan schaub
Hilarious.
joe rogan
Just imagine how bad that advice is.
Think about how many fucking millions of downloads of the Fighter and the Kid have been out there.
How many humans on the planet Earth?
If you could see an overhead map of all the people on the planet Earth, a light went off every time a dude was listening to the Fighter and the Kid, he'd be like, holy fuck, it would freak you out to see that number.
unidentified
And that Fox guy was like, let's clean it up, boys.
brendan schaub
You know what that guy told me, too?
I started arguing with him and he kind of got my face and went, just like you have your black belt in the octagon, I got my black belt in TV.
unidentified
Oh.
brendan schaub
That's cool as shit.
unidentified
Oh, God.
joe rogan
Did he really say that?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's got his black belt in TV.
Let me tell you.
brendan schaub
Well, he got fired from Fox, by the way.
joe rogan
Of course he did.
The dirty little secret about all those guys, they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
They find talented people.
brendan schaub
Yeah, they have no idea.
If you get Stephen A. Smith, you wouldn't be doing that.
joe rogan
Yeah, if you get fucking Max Keller, man, you get all those guys.
Those are the guys that are on your television show.
Your television show is going to do well.
If those are the guys that are doing commentary for you, they're excellent.
They're compelling.
You're going to listen to them.
You're not a great producer.
That's not why the show's great.
brendan schaub
No, it's the talent, you fucks.
joe rogan
Yeah, when you're telling a podcast the one free medium left on the planet Earth where you can distribute to millions of people and no one can tell you what the fuck to do.
There's not another thing like it on Earth.
Not one.
brendan schaub
Not one.
joe rogan
Maybe websites, but good luck getting people to read.
brendan schaub
It's still the greatest form of content you can get.
joe rogan
Yeah, and to be able to have that with no producer, no executive, no filter, and to have it available to you while you're doing other stuff, right?
You could be mowing your lawn right now.
It's in your ear.
You're running.
It's in your ear.
You're driving to work.
It's in your ear.
You're on the subway.
It's in your ear.
brendan schaub
You get to know people, too.
Let's say you were 2019 Jay Leno.
That's what you were, right?
Doing the shows as we were doing Johnny Carson at the time, right?
Let's say you're that guy.
Let's say it's that overproduced show.
No one really gets to know you.
Did you know Johnny Carson from The Tonight Show?
Did you know Jay Leno?
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
No, it's when they went on to do stuff after the fact.
But now, people know you pretty fucking well.
People know me pretty well, man.
joe rogan
Pretty well, yeah.
brendan schaub
You're either on board or you're not.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's different.
brendan schaub
It's different.
But even Conan talked about that, how, you know, when he was doing the Conan, I heard him on Howard Stern, and he was doing, he said, I do the Conan show, and, you know, we had a band, and I was going through this interview, but I had to stop it.
Like, I was in balls deep in this interview, man.
I had to stop it, because the band's playing, we gotta get to that, or we gotta get to the next bit.
And he's like, no, just let me go, man.
Let me have this conversation.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
So he's even come over to podcasting.
And even Howard Stern goes, well, that's one of the reasons I want to do long form is because they want to overproduce all this stuff.
But if I have to get to – I want to talk to somebody.
I want to get to know them.
I don't want to cut to commercial breaks.
I don't have to cut for this band or this bit you want to do.
Let me talk to this guy, man.
joe rogan
Well, there's a lot of guys that are still cutting their podcast stuff with commercials.
They'll stop in the middle and do a commercial.
Do you guys do that?
brendan schaub
We've done it before.
I don't know if we currently do.
We just left our current advertisers.
It was a nightmare.
We just signed with Paragon.
Shout out to Paragon.
I don't know.
Sometimes we might.
Sometimes we might, Joe, to be honest with you.
But, you know...
What we are doing...
joe rogan
But if you're going to do it, you're only going to do it once, right?
brendan schaub
Once, yeah.
But what's different with King of the Sting is...
So when we do our read...
You guys do it before, and there's no video, but we do it...
Me and Theo do it together, on camera, and have fun with it.
So it's part of the show.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Different animal.
joe rogan
That's different.
brendan schaub
You got me and Theo doing a read for you.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
We're doing a read for this financial thing.
And he goes, and you can save, I think, $75 a year.
And when I said $75 a year, I didn't pre-read.
$75, I cut a crack.
And then Theo goes, yeah, a smooth $75 a year.
joe rogan
Do the financial people get mad at you?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
I don't give a fuck.
We were laughing so hard.
I go, yeah, go with him, get $75 a year.
joe rogan
Is that really what they're offering?
I forget.
brendan schaub
It might have been $7,500 or $7,500.
joe rogan
Well, $7,500 is reasonable.
brendan schaub
$7,500 is different.
I forget what it was.
joe rogan
$750?
brendan schaub
It was something super low, and I could not stop laughing.
Then Theo started laughing.
They left it in.
I feel like that read would do better than the others.
joe rogan
Maybe, but it would do better in terms of financial, in terms of clicks, but it probably wouldn't do better in terms of people going there and using the product.
People would think it would be funny.
brendan schaub
Great thing.
Doesn't matter.
joe rogan
Doesn't matter.
brendan schaub
We'll find someone else.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's the thing.
You have too many podcast sponsors these days.
I'd say no to them every day.
I get tons of them coming in.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I bet.
joe rogan
But it's not...
It's got to make some sense.
brendan schaub
It has to connect with what you're about a little bit.
joe rogan
It's got to be a good thing, too.
It's got to be a valuable product.
brendan schaub
Yeah, you gave me the best advice ever when I started doing advertising on podcasts, because it was a while before we started doing it.
You better believe in it, man.
You sell shit, people don't stop tuning in.
They're not going to believe you.
joe rogan
I've had a bunch of things that I turned down because I researched it, and I was like, what is this?
How does that work?
brendan schaub
Yeah, Brian's great at that.
joe rogan
I was like, ooh, this is sketchy.
There was one of them.
They wanted to do an Uber for babysitting.
I'm like, get the fuck out of here.
brendan schaub
That's a terrible idea.
joe rogan
Are you crazy?
brendan schaub
The biggest argument Cal and I ever got in our fucking 90-year relationship is Burger King came towards us, and I grew up eating Burger King, man.
I grew up eating Whopper with cheese.
Not every day, but I'd fucking have one.
I'm a goddamn American.
joe rogan
And Brian said no?
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He was like, we can't push that off, and we had a straight-up argument.
joe rogan
How did it end?
brendan schaub
I think we did a Burger King raid.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Shout out to Burger King.
joe rogan
If you're hungry and they're open, there's food.
brendan schaub
A Whopper with cheese, best burger on planet Earth.
Fuck you in and out.
joe rogan
That's not true.
brendan schaub
Whopper with cheese only?
joe rogan
That's so not true.
brendan schaub
Whopper with cheese and ketchup only?
joe rogan
That so often makes me want to take you to a doctor right now and get a CAT scan.
brendan schaub
What do you like?
I do have CT. What do you like?
joe rogan
Double fucking double from In-N-Out, son.
brendan schaub
Are you an In-N-Out guy, too?
joe rogan
Or a Five Guys Burgers.
unidentified
Fatburger, Five Guys over In-N-Out.
brendan schaub
Five Guys is delicious.
Hold on, but we can agree on one thing here before I call you guys Nazis.
Not In-N-Out.
joe rogan
What?
In-N-Out is so much better.
brendan schaub
For number one?
joe rogan
I like Five Guys and I like In-N-Out.
brendan schaub
You like Five Guys number one, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, I think I like Five Guys better because Five Guys offers bacon and also jalapenos.
unidentified
Boom!
The speed of In-N-Out is such a deterrent too sometimes.
joe rogan
The wines?
brendan schaub
How dare you?
The one right up here?
The fuck out of my face, bro.
joe rogan
Five Guys doesn't have a drive-thru though, right?
Five Guys doesn't do the drive-thru.
They're like, bitch, sit down.
brendan schaub
Come on in.
joe rogan
And they have milkshakes at In-N-Out.
That's a big plus.
If you're ready to fuck your body up with some poisoned food that tastes great, then milkshakes will do it to you.
They'll give it to you.
brendan schaub
Dude, I've been so stressed out with this special.
My diet, even my workouts, my diet's been awful.
joe rogan
You've been eating like a girl was pregnant?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Pickles and ice cream and shit?
brendan schaub
Yeah, because my girl might be pregnant again.
Yeah, man.
Been eating pizza every night.
joe rogan
Uh-oh.
brendan schaub
I don't know what it is, dude.
I'm in a funk.
I'm in a funk, dude.
joe rogan
Well, stress.
They've actually said that, that people under stress make poor decisions.
brendan schaub
Poor decisions eating.
Everything else has been great.
joe rogan
Food-wise, too.
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, people make poor decisions food-wise.
brendan schaub
I did buy a fry and I'd eat pizza every night.
You might be onto something.
joe rogan
Yeah, I think you're freaking out.
brendan schaub
I'm not freaking out, though.
joe rogan
A little bit.
brendan schaub
You think?
joe rogan
It's okay.
brendan schaub
Nah, we'll figure it out.
It's normal.
joe rogan
No, no, you're not freaking out, but you're under stress.
You know what it is, Joe?
Getting judged by hundreds of thousands of people is very weird.
It's weird.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's weird.
joe rogan
Every time I do it, I stay offline for weeks.
brendan schaub
Yeah, that's what you told me to stay offline.
joe rogan
I don't even read it.
Look, I do my best.
I try hard.
I do my best.
And you might like it, you might not like it.
But I do my best.
And when I'm done, as long as I know I did my best, I can just release it.
I've been able to do that for Triggered, and I did that for Strange Times.
When it was over, I was like, I'm good.
I'm good.
I mean, you might not like it, but I couldn't have done it better.
brendan schaub
You know what my thing is?
I think with anything is you get more popular, whether it's through podcasting or stand-up or whatever you do.
If you're an artist, you put out an album.
If you're a painter, put out a painting.
If you're a fighter, you take a fight.
It's a big fight.
I'm going to attract more eyeballs.
You're going to get a lot more people that love it.
You're going to get more hate because you're out there more.
joe rogan
Also, you're being shoved down people's faces.
Yeah, because you do a lot of press, too.
brendan schaub
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
That's why I don't do press.
It's one of the reasons why I don't do press.
brendan schaub
You gotta love it, you don't have to.
joe rogan
I don't do press on the road.
But I don't want anybody to have to listen to me.
I don't.
I don't.
brendan schaub
You're at such a different level than I am.
I have to do press a little bit.
You know what I'm saying?
unidentified
I get it.
brendan schaub
But I don't do it for stand-up anymore.
When I go to towns, I don't do press anymore.
unidentified
Good.
joe rogan
Beautiful.
But then you're getting 100% your fans.
brendan schaub
Yes.
And also, with the special, it's different because I didn't want our group, like you guys who vouched for me, or especially Showtime, who was like, let's get a special.
I didn't want to embarrass.
I want it to go well for them.
Like, you know?
joe rogan
Yeah, no, I know what you're saying.
brendan schaub
Like, I want them to be like, alright, we're proud of this.
Which they are, so I should be good with that, you know?
And I know you guys are proud of me, so I should be good with that.
joe rogan
Listen, I'm always proud of you.
brendan schaub
So I don't know why I give a fuck.
joe rogan
You're trying to get better with something that's very difficult to do.
brendan schaub
Some say the most difficult to do.
joe rogan
And you put out a special two years in, which is ridiculous.
unidentified
Three.
joe rogan
I would have told you not to do it.
brendan schaub
Of course.
joe rogan
If you wanted to come to me, but I knew you were going to do it.
brendan schaub
You guys know me.
joe rogan
I mean, we went down there, we helped you out, we opened for you, we...
It was a great time.
It was a great time.
And you're going to look back on it in eight years from now when you have another Killer Special out, or several down the line.
When do you think you'll do another one?
Do you think you'll wait another two years?
Three.
Three to four.
I was talking to...
brendan schaub
But I think it's going to be...
I don't mean to interrupt you.
I think it's going to be cool to look back and go, holy fuck, he was three years in, that's what he did, and then four years from now, see the progression.
unidentified
Sure.
brendan schaub
Then four years from now, see the progression.
unidentified
Yes.
brendan schaub
And you can go back and look.
I think that's going to be fucking cool, man.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, 100%.
Yeah.
Listen, man, there's some videos me from when I first started out.
They're terrible.
There's no way you're not gonna be you're gonna be terrible Yes, you're just learning how to do something again It's like judging your roles when you're a white belt versus your roles as a black for sure.
It's like you don't know what you're doing now Yeah.
It's fine, man.
brendan schaub
What are you going to say, though, about specials?
Most, like, especially season one, say every, I think, three years?
What'd Kevin say, four?
joe rogan
Well, I was going to say Jesselnik.
Jesselnik has a really interesting thought process on it.
He was telling me that he does, he did the podcast recently.
brendan schaub
I love him, by the way.
joe rogan
I do, too.
He's great.
He's a killer, man.
Outstanding.
He's a new special.
Yeah, and it's on Netflix.
It's available right now.
It just came out.
brendan schaub
It's amazing.
joe rogan
What is it called?
Thoughts and Prayers?
Is that it?
brendan schaub
I think so.
Thoughts and Prayers.
joe rogan
Anyway, that might be his other one.
He's got several.
brendan schaub
But his new one just dropped on Netflix like a few weeks ago.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't think it's Thoughts and Prayers.
I think Thoughts and Prayers is...
unidentified
Fire in the maternity ward.
brendan schaub
Close.
Fire in the maternity ward?
joe rogan
So what he does is he works on the material for a year, like in L.A. He just does little sets here and there.
brendan schaub
Comedy store or whatever.
joe rogan
Puts together his hour.
Then he takes his hour on the road and does clubs for a year.
Just clubs for one year.
Then he does theaters for a year.
brendan schaub
Three.
joe rogan
And at the end of that year he films.
brendan schaub
So every three years?
joe rogan
Three years, yeah.
Which is not a bad idea if you don't get tired of your shit.
The problem is you do a lot of sets.
Like I do four sets a night sometimes.
brendan schaub
You get really tired of your shit.
joe rogan
I get tired.
I get tired of new bits.
brendan schaub
Yeah, especially during that many times.
Yes, it's hard to stay motivated if it's the same bit, yeah?
joe rogan
Yeah, but it's also, look, I feel so lucky that I can do it.
I feel so lucky.
Like, every time I go to do a set, like, I went to the store last night and hanging out in the back with Fitzsimmons and Ian Edwards and Owen Smith, who I'm trying to convince Owen Smith to never write again, because I think he's the fucking...
brendan schaub
Owen Smith, can you bring him up, Jimmy?
joe rogan
Dude, you gotta come see him.
That guy's a monster.
brendan schaub
He's so good.
joe rogan
Owen Smith is so good, and he's got this gig.
He's always writing.
But there's a writer's strike right now.
brendan schaub
He's a writer for like a major series?
joe rogan
Yeah, like sitcoms and shit.
But dude, his stand-up's out of control.
So he came with us too.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's super nice.
joe rogan
Dude, he's the best.
brendan schaub
He's really nice.
joe rogan
So is a little Josh Martin.
brendan schaub
Josh is fucking hilarious too.
joe rogan
I love Josh.
brendan schaub
Santino's fucking amazing.
joe rogan
It was a killer show.
We did two shows of the improv.
We're doing more of those too.
brendan schaub
Ian's a fucking killer.
joe rogan
He's a killer too.
brendan schaub
But he's a writer too.
joe rogan
Yep, same deal.
brendan schaub
Same deal.
joe rogan
And I try to talk to him about it too.
Ian's been on the road with me for years and years.
He opened for me when I did Triggered.
I've taken him on the road for years.
brendan schaub
He's also the nicest guy in the world.
He's so nice to me.
joe rogan
The nicest guy.
So is Santino.
Santino's a nice guy.
He's a man's man.
brendan schaub
I love that guy.
joe rogan
I love that guy.
brendan schaub
Me too.
I have a close bond with him.
Shout out to Cheeto.
You know who I podcast Tiger Bell I did with Bobby Lee?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I told him, I said, you owe it.
You owe it to come and do a fucking special, man.
At least 30 minutes.
And he goes, I think that's why Rogan won't have me on.
He's disappointing me.
I went, I just think you need to get your shit together and do a special, man.
joe rogan
First of all, that's not true that I won't have him on.
Every time I say, do you want to come on my podcast?
He runs away.
brendan schaub
He's sleeping.
joe rogan
He gets panicky.
brendan schaub
Well, he doesn't wake up until 1. But he gets panicky.
I don't know why.
He's a great dude.
joe rogan
He's got stuff in his head that shouldn't be in there.
brendan schaub
He's also smart, dude.
He has a lot to say.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
I love Bobby Lee.
brendan schaub
He'd be great on here.
joe rogan
Dude, I've been friends with Bobby Lee since 96. He's been on comedy for a hot second.
Known that dude forever.
brendan schaub
He probably just started doing comedy then.
joe rogan
He almost got me killed at a strip club in San Diego.
brendan schaub
That's where he started.
joe rogan
Mexican gangbangers with tattoos on their face and long black hair.
Bobby Lee's trying to tell their girlfriend to give him a lap dance.
And I had to grab him and drag him the fuck out of here.
I'm like, listen to me, Bobby.
Listen to me.
Those guys are serious.
We gotta get the fuck out of here now.
And he's like, fuck, those guys ain't gonna do shit.
I'm like, I will fucking leave you here.
I'm like, I'm going.
I jumped in my super turbo and we fucking hauled ass out of there.
And Bobby leaves in the backseat.
I was like, Bobby, shut the fuck up.
They were gonna kill you.
You have no idea.
brendan schaub
Oh my god.
joe rogan
There's certain dudes, you looked them in the eye and you go, oh, this guy's for real.
brendan schaub
They got the eyes of a great white shark.
joe rogan
Yeah, and like, look, I'm not the most street-smart dude.
I'm not saying that, but...
brendan schaub
I can read a room, though.
joe rogan
I can read Predators.
Yeah.
I've been around a lot of fucking stone-cold killers in my life, and I saw that guy, and I was like, oh, okay, sir, I'm gonna just take my little friend and stuff him in the backseat of my fucking Japanese car and peel out of here.
brendan schaub
Is it Toyota Supra?
joe rogan
Yeah, dude, it was scary.
Bobby was so ridiculous.
He's like, you're not going to do shit.
I'm like, Jesus Christ!
I was like, get in the fucking car, man!
Come on!
brendan schaub
He's so funny.
joe rogan
We've got to get out of here.
That was my introduction to Bobby Lee.
Because he was working at the La Jolla Comedy Store.
brendan schaub
I was going to say, he was a dork guy.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
brendan schaub
That's how he started.
joe rogan
I don't even remember how we wound up at that fucking strip club.
Because, like, all I remember was, like, the world zoomed in.
Like, I was looking at it through a toilet paper roll.
And I'm looking at this Mexican gangbanger who stood up with his hands out there like this.
And Bobby Lee is acting like it's not a big deal.
And I'm like, oh, my God, we're gonna die.
brendan schaub
Holy fuck.
joe rogan
It was like that, just moments where you're like, you almost get hit by a car.
unidentified
Woo!
joe rogan
Like, that's what it felt like.
I was like, oh my god, Bobby.
Like, that guy's a real criminal.
Like, we gotta get out of here!
And his girl was one of the dancers, and Bobby was apparently trying to get his girl to give him a lap dance.
We ran out of there, man.
We fucking hauled ass.
I drove very fast and I got off the first exit and I turned around and went back the other way just in case someone was following me.
I was making sure no one was following me.
Jesus Christ.
I was like, this is real, Bobby.
brendan schaub
Bobby's hilarious.
We're talking about La Jolla Comedy Club.
I was telling him how special this to me is.
It's quite close.
And I was talking about staying in the condo.
And I go, oh, it was great because they've redone it and Jim Carrey stayed there and he's my hero.
So for me especially, he goes, man, I wish I had the same kind of admiration for that comedy store La Jolla condo.
He goes, because when I was there, I forget the comic's name, it's some gay comic.
He goes, they used to take like 14 dudes back there and run trains and come all over the walls.
He goes, that's why the walls were blue for a long time.
I went...
joe rogan
I don't know if that's true.
brendan schaub
Jesus Christ, Bobby.
joe rogan
I don't know if that's true.
It's a lot of adding to that.
brendan schaub
Maybe there's just one guy busting a nut on the wall.
joe rogan
A few guys came in.
brendan schaub
You know gay dudes in San Diego running trains?
It's not that far-fetched.
You know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Do you know who the Hodge twins are?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
You know who those guys are?
brendan schaub
Bodybuild.com, yeah.
joe rogan
They have a fucking...
They were reading an article about men getting pregnant.
Like that women aren't the only ones who can get pregnant.
brendan schaub
Oh, hell no.
joe rogan
Because the way they talk, you know the way they talk?
They're big old jack dudes.
brendan schaub
I've had them on the podcast.
unidentified
They're great.
joe rogan
Have you?
And they get seriously amped up.
They were talking about busting a nut inside a dude's ass that you cannot get him pregnant no matter how deep you go in that man's anus.
brendan schaub
And they're the same?
unidentified
They're like, yeah, they talk fucking like dudes, dudes.
joe rogan
Because people are saying some crazy shit.
brendan schaub
That's not real.
joe rogan
That's a crazy shit to say.
unidentified
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
joe rogan
Yes.
This is a real argument.
You know, Yale started putting tampons, dispensers, in the men's room because they said not everyone who menstruates is a woman.
Hi.
brendan schaub
My son ain't going to Yale.
joe rogan
Hi, welcome to the Upside Down world.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Did you ever watch Stranger Things?
brendan schaub
I feel like I'm too drunk for this.
What?
joe rogan
You ever watch Stranger Things?
brendan schaub
Yeah, fuck yeah, I love that.
joe rogan
Season 3 coming.
The world is upside down right now.
That's what's happening.
brendan schaub
That's so disappointing.
joe rogan
We flipped over to the other side.
People are getting, they're so progressive, they're literally denying science for feelings.
Do you feel like a woman?
Then you're a woman.
brendan schaub
What the fuck?
I get her to identify as a woman.
joe rogan
Do you feel like a man?
Well, then you're a man.
And you're pregnant?
Amazing, man.
Bro, congratulations.
You're going to make the best mom, dad, whatever the fuck you are ever.
brendan schaub
Dad, mom.
These dudes are coming in dudes' asses.
joe rogan
It's a funny little thing that they did.
Did you find it?
jamie vernon
I was looking for it and I stumbled across something else they just talked about, which you were just talking about.
brendan schaub
They're all over YouTube.
joe rogan
What is this?
Meet the formerly transgender man who now identifies as a genderless alien.
Oh yeah, I've seen that.
Dude, we showed that guy before.
His surgery and shit.
He thinks he's an alien?
He's had a bunch of surgery to look like an alien.
brendan schaub
I don't give a fuck.
Just don't force it on me that I have to, if I fuck him, call you a him.
joe rogan
Yeah, I say congratulations to them.
brendan schaub
Yeah, there you go.
joe rogan
Congratulations, you've made it.
brendan schaub
Yeah, congrats, man.
joe rogan
Look, a lot of people want to be special, but they don't want to work for it.
And the problem with that is you get that kind of shit.
You get people that are pretending to be something super special.
brendan schaub
So they get attention.
joe rogan
So they get attention.
And you're not doing anything.
And there's nothing there.
You know, what I really love, I had Eddie Izzard on, who's probably one of the most famous transgender people ever.
brendan schaub
I didn't know he was transgender.
I saw your picture.
joe rogan
Just decided that's what he likes.
And once you get past that and just talk to him, he's amazing.
brendan schaub
Human's a human, man.
joe rogan
He's amazing.
I don't care.
What I care is when you say crazy things.
Like, men can get pregnant.
brendan schaub
That's insane.
joe rogan
That's not real.
brendan schaub
Have you had Kristen Beck on?
joe rogan
The Navy SEAL? Not yet.
No.
brendan schaub
And was running for governor?
I don't know what she's doing now, but Cal and I went to lunch with her afterwards.
Normal shit, man.
joe rogan
Normal.
brendan schaub
Also talks like...
Like, oh, when you were in battle, this, and just talks like a fucking human.
joe rogan
Like a human.
brendan schaub
I didn't give a fuck.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
All right, you want to wear a dress?
Yeah, everyone's looking at you because you've got the physique of me and you've got a fucking miniskirt on.
All right, whatever.
joe rogan
Who cares?
brendan schaub
Who gives a fuck?
joe rogan
Once you get used to it, like, you're used to the way people dress, period.
Yes.
You're used to everything, you know?
It's just nonsense.
It's nonsense.
Like, I don't care.
As long as you're not hurting me.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I agree.
joe rogan
Or hurting someone else.
I don't care.
brendan schaub
Or pushing it on me.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't care.
Yeah, don't push it on me.
brendan schaub
Did Eddie Izzard say what?
Like, he always felt like that?
joe rogan
This is it.
Man can have babies now.
Look at him.
brendan schaub
They're hilarious, by the way.
joe rogan
Look at how angry she is.
brendan schaub
Shout out to the Hodgson.
Look at the guy at the back.
joe rogan
Play this, Jamie.
Can we play it or we get pulled?
We'll probably get pulled.
brendan schaub
It's on Twitter.
joe rogan
We'll get pulled.
No, no, no, it's their show.
brendan schaub
Can we hear the volume?
Can we hear the audio, though?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
We'll just tell people what is the...
It just says men can have babies now, and it's on Twitter.
unidentified
I couldn't find it on their YouTube, but it's on Twitter.
brendan schaub
Can we hear it?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
Really?
Yeah, bro, copyright law is no joke on YouTube.
unidentified
You're not live, though, right?
joe rogan
It doesn't matter.
We'd have to edit it out later.
brendan schaub
Oh, fuck.
unidentified
Haters.
brendan schaub
Haters.
joe rogan
Look, YouTube's in a weird place right now in terms of copyright.
We've gotten claims on us for watching something on a screen in the background.
Like you see a picture in a picture and you don't even hear it.
And they want all the ad revenue for the entire show.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about the...
Oh, gee, that's ridiculous.
unidentified
It's hilarious.
brendan schaub
How about when the combine guy, we're talking about his dick, that got flagged.
When I was like, oh, you see his dick popped out?
Tagged for nudity.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Come on, man.
It's ridiculous.
joe rogan
And you'd have to pause it and just go frame by frame and go, is that the dick?
brendan schaub
It's kind of pixelated and it's on there for half a second.
joe rogan
You don't even know what you're looking at if I don't tell you.
Well...
What YouTube is doing is making a boatload of cash.
They know what they're doing.
brendan schaub
Oh my God.
joe rogan
They just don't want anything to get in the way.
brendan schaub
They run the world.
joe rogan
Well, between Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, Facebook owns Instagram.
No, they all own the world.
Look, Facebook is changing elections.
Facebook is influencing the way the world votes.
brendan schaub
Do you hear what they're going to start doing with, I think it's Instagram.
They're going to start, you can as the user, your owner of your own page, but the rest of the world can't see your followers and likes.
joe rogan
Huh.
That's interesting.
brendan schaub
Because kids in high school, and I can, with a three-year-old son, it's a scary world with social media.
I'm sure with your daughters you can understand is people, suicide, especially in teenage girls, has never been higher because they're putting so much, so much ways on their social media.
So how many followers, how many likes they get.
So if you get rid of that, it might help.
joe rogan
Well, you know, they're reaching the same kind of people that we're talking about.
We're talking about haters, but they're reaching it like local, like they're friends.
And people from school, they're shitting on each other, being mean to each other, and they don't understand what that does to a person yet.
They don't have compassion the way a grown adult has, where they understand, they have perspective, they understand what kind of emotional influence it's going to have on a person when you shit on them like that.
I've seen it happen, man.
It's not pretty.
brendan schaub
But also, like, when you and I were bullied, Especially you back in the day when you were bullied.
You could go home.
You'd think about it, but you didn't have to constantly get it.
Right, right, right.
Now, if your daughter's bullied at school, well, she goes home at 3 o'clock.
joe rogan
And now it's on social media.
brendan schaub
And then they gang up.
And then this person from another school gangs up.
And this person from Ohio gangs up.
And then they're all fucking...
Making fun of her.
joe rogan
I've seen them play little games with each other, too.
It's weird.
It's weird watching kids play little emotional head games with each other.
I was like, Jesus Christ.
People are button pushers, right?
They see a button, they push it.
They want to see what it does.
They find out it does something, they want to push it again, make it do that thing again.
When you find out you can make someone upset, you press their buttons.
There's girlfriends that do that, boyfriends that do that, friends, lovers, family members.
People press buttons.
I've had family members that would do that.
brendan schaub
They would just press buttons just to fuck with you, and I... But even on social media, it's like people can press buttons if you let them know that that button gets to you, right?
I never punch down.
So if it's a guy with an egg for an avatar, someone I don't know, I never, ever, very rarely I'll punch down or comment back.
Never.
That's what they want, right?
What's interesting to me is it affects people like Kevin Durant.
on planet earth and he just got in a twitter war with just like he's been known to have fake accounts burner accounts defending himself online he got caught doing that he this this um this guy who works a commentator an analyst for fox was like oh critiquing him he started firing back at him then another guy like a troll with 55 followers talk shit to him he fires back What are you doing?
But here's the message.
When I see all that, I'm like, God, what the fuck is he doing?
I'm like, holy fuck.
If Kevin Durant, who's worth $600 million, the best basketball player on planet Earth, if it affects him, what do you think a 13-year-old girl with body issues is feeling like?
That's what's scary.
joe rogan
Or boy.
brendan schaub
Boy or girl?
joe rogan
You know what I'm saying?
brendan schaub
The suicide with teenage girls is a lot higher.
joe rogan
Have you ever read Jonathan Haidt's books on that?
Jonathan Haidt, he's been on my podcast.
Callan knows him.
Maybe Callan talked to him too, I believe.
But he wrote a book called The Coddling of the American Mind.
And part of the book was about the influence of social media and what's happening to kids.
A couple years ago?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Maybe a year ago?
brendan schaub
Okay, so pretty recent.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Because you just have to be up to date to get this shit.
joe rogan
He's brilliant.
brendan schaub
Okay.
joe rogan
He's brilliant.
I really enjoy talking to him.
It's one of those things where you go, yeah, this is nothing that we're designed for.
It's not normal.
You know, when girls talk shit about you across the, you know, like you see them across the breezeway, like you're walking to your classroom, they're over there, and they're talking shit about you, like, fuck those bitches.
But if they're saying it online...
And you read it on a Facebook page.
Her ankles are fat.
Fucking loser.
Get that nose job, LOL. And kids will do shit like that to each other.
brendan schaub
Get that nose job, LOL. Yeah.
joe rogan
Kids will do shit like that to each other.
But if you read it, now all of a sudden it impacts you.
It hits you in a way that it doesn't hit you if you see them talking shit.
If I see some dudes talking shit about me and they're over there, I'm like, yeah, are you really talking shit?
What are you doing?
You feel good?
Feel good insulting people?
You fucking losers?
Concentrate on your own life.
Get your shit together.
brendan schaub
What about online?
You've never read a comment?
joe rogan
No, I've read comments before, but I don't read them anymore because of that.
brendan schaub
Did it affect you?
joe rogan
It affected me when I first started being on the internet.
But over the course of my being on the internet, I've learned how to not emotionally engage with shit.
Well, you just learn what that is.
I know what people are.
Like, if I've done something that was poor and it wasn't good and someone said, that sucked, it burns.
But you know why it burns?
Because they're right.
brendan schaub
Because it's true, yeah.
joe rogan
Because they're right.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
When that happens, that's an opportunity to get better.
That's what that is.
That's an opportunity to look at yourself, to reassess, start from scratch.
Just look at it with fresh, renewed vigor and understanding that the negative consequences of failing or doing poorly or, you know, just not putting enough attention into something you're concentrating on.
That's very rare for you, though.
What do you mean?
brendan schaub
Like, lately, you're not...
I'm sure...
What's the last thing you did that you got negative...
joe rogan
But it doesn't matter.
That's how I looked at it.
But that's one of the reasons why, because I'm always tweaking it like that.
And I'll have sets that are off, and a lot of the times it's sets that are off because I'm experimenting with shit.
I'm moving stuff around.
brendan schaub
That doesn't matter, though.
joe rogan
But it does.
unidentified
Why?
joe rogan
I don't like it.
You don't like when people go...
No, no, no.
When I don't do well.
I'm not listening to what other people are saying.
I'm my own worst critic.
You have to be.
Yeah, so...
The bottom line is if they're wrong, like if someone says something and they're wrong, it's like, I don't care.
It doesn't bother me if you say mean things and you're wrong.
I don't care.
But if you're right, I care.
And the reason why I care is because I haven't done a good job.
So I care more about what I've failed at than the person's opinions.
You can't be all invested in people's opinions of people you don't know because everyone's words look the same when they're typed out.
If there was an intelligence quotient, an emotional intelligence, a social intelligence, if you could find out how disturbed somebody was by their text just looking at it, you'd get a better understanding of whether or not you should listen to this person's opinion.
But when you just look at text, it could be...
brendan schaub
It's very black and white.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, it could be Cornel West wrote that, or it could be fucking Richard Spencer wrote it.
It's just words.
You don't convey who the person is from those words.
It's very difficult.
So, someone can say something insulting or shitty to you designed to try to get you.
They're just trying to hope to get you.
brendan schaub
Why do you think it's such...
You get it?
I don't get it.
joe rogan
I do get it, because they're helpless.
They're helpless.
brendan schaub
So that's why there's so much negativity on social media?
joe rogan
That's part of the reason why.
Yes.
brendan schaub
There should be a positive atmosphere for some...
joe rogan
Yeah, but you're positive.
You have a fucking Ferrari.
You live in a mansion.
It's easy.
You're a handsome guy.
You're 10 feet tall.
It's all good things.
Got a giant dick right here.
Got big dick energy.
brendan schaub
It's all right.
joe rogan
All these things are fun.
brendan schaub
But also worked for it.
joe rogan
You didn't work for that dick.
brendan schaub
I was born with this thing.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
You work for some things.
I'm sure it is.
Poor boy.
You've had many good breaks.
Some people have had none.
Some people have had none.
And they also have a phone, and they have a Twitter account, and they're like, fuck you.
Fuck you and your Ferrari.
Fuck you and your mansion.
Fuck you and everything you stand for.
Because they can't see a real path.
Like, if you're standing there...
brendan schaub
But that's why they're a loser.
Because you're getting online and you're spewing out hate because you're not happy with your life.
joe rogan
Or they're 17. Like, they don't get it yet.
Let's say they're not 17. But there's a lot of that.
Or they're 17. They used to be a loser at 17. Now they're 27 and nothing's gotten much better.
There's a lot of that.
brendan schaub
And do you think going on Instagram and shitting on someone who's successful is going to get you to where you want to go?
joe rogan
No, unless you're really funny.
There are people that just...
brendan schaub
We still have a section where we read off the people roasting us.
We read it back and forth to each other.
joe rogan
Some people are good.
brendan schaub
Some people are hilarious.
Most are awful.
joe rogan
There's people that have formulated a comedy career from dunking on folks online.
Right?
brendan schaub
Yeah, but that would be the minority, right?
unidentified
Like Jenny Johnson.
joe rogan
Jenny Johnson high five?
brendan schaub
That'd be the minority, though, yeah?
joe rogan
Yeah, but if you're a good writer...
Here's the thing.
The world is not...
It's like good ideas and good writing and being funny is not exclusive to professionals.
There's a lot of people out there who are really funny who never figure out a way to do it.
brendan schaub
Capitalize on it.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Look, dude, when I was a fucking open-miker, when I was first starting out, I worked for a guy named Dave Dolan.
He's dead now.
He's a private investigator.
To this day, one of the funniest fucking dudes I've ever met in my life.
We used to call him Dynamite Dickless Dave Dolan.
He was an animal.
brendan schaub
Hold on.
Hold on.
Dynamite Dickless Dave.
joe rogan
Triple D. He died a few years back, but he's one of the rare people that I save his voicemails.
You know how you save people's voicemails?
brendan schaub
I used to.
joe rogan
Like, after they're dead.
Yeah.
Like, he's one of those guys I'm never fucking deleting.
brendan schaub
How'd he pass away?
joe rogan
Listen to this.
brendan schaub
I can't wait for this.
Dickless Dave here.
joe rogan
How Boston is that?
It's hard to hear it because I can't put it on speaker.
brendan schaub
Dickless Dave here.
joe rogan
Why does it not go on speaker?
brendan schaub
What did he pass away from?
joe rogan
He got cancer.
Chairman Joe, Dickless Dave here.
unidentified
Joe, you're a comedy star.
brendan schaub
He's so busted.
joe rogan
He left me this long, sweet email or voicemail.
But I never delete that.
I love that guy forever.
But when we were friends, when he was alive, I always said, why don't you do comedy?
Why the fuck are you not a comedian?
He was one of the funniest human beings, like Joey Diaz-level funny.
Why did he do it?
I don't know, man.
brendan schaub
He just didn't have the balls?
joe rogan
Like being a private investigator.
Like busting people.
He got a kick out of it.
It was a game for him.
brendan schaub
That works for him then.
joe rogan
And his cousin, rather, was Billy Downs.
And Billy Downs owned the Comedy Connection.
brendan schaub
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was crazy.
brendan schaub
So he had an in.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
It was easier than for most people.
joe rogan
When I started working for him, I had no idea that he was Billy Downs' cousin.
I responded to an ad in a newspaper where a private investigator needed an assistant.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
And I was like, what a great job.
As you're trying to be a comedian, be a private investigator's assistant, it's going to be awesome.
But what he really needed was a driver.
He lost his license from driving while intoxicated.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
This guy's awesome.
joe rogan
He was the best!
But he quit.
He quit booze fucking cold turkey right then and there.
Didn't go to meetings, didn't do any of that shit.
Just quit.
brendan schaub
Gangster.
joe rogan
Oh man, he was a beautiful person.
But he was one of the funniest people I've ever met in my life.
That guy, if he had Twitter, and he just wanted to dunk on people, he would have been fucking you up, man.
He would have read his shit and fallen on the ground laughing.
He was just funny.
Funny people are just funny.
Funny is not exclusive to professionals.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I agree.
joe rogan
Well, you are or you aren't.
You can cultivate it.
I know some comedians that weren't that good, and they got way, way, way, way better.
brendan schaub
But I'm sure they were...
But being a comedian and also being funny in person is a little bit different.
joe rogan
It's different, yeah.
brendan schaub
Some people are just funny.
joe rogan
Like Richard Jenny, who's, in my mind, one of the best comedians of all time.
He was always real somber in person.
Pretty serious.
He was depressed, which is why he killed himself.
Just wasn't happy.
Just wasn't uncomfortable in his own skin.
brendan schaub
And there's comedians like that now, even at the stores.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
Where you meet them, you're like, oh, wow, you're very serious.
joe rogan
How about Brody?
You know?
Brody.
brendan schaub
He wasn't that serious.
At least around me, the few times when I was around him, he was fun.
joe rogan
He would get dark.
He would get dark.
brendan schaub
I didn't know him that well enough.
I'm not going to pretend I did.
joe rogan
He would get sad.
brendan schaub
He was always very cool.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, I think guys like you and I, one thing, especially coming from athletics, coming from martial arts, you're more likely to suck it up, and you're more likely to not give in to the negative demons, and you're also more likely to exercise regularly.
So when you see someone who's struggling with something they shouldn't be struggling with, you're like, but you're good.
brendan schaub
It's frustrating.
joe rogan
Hey, you're good, though.
No, it's frustrating for me.
Why are you bummed out?
You're fucking, you're really good.
Like, if you are doing really good as a comic, you know, you'll call me up and you'll say, bro, I fucking killed tonight.
It was amazing.
I had such a great time.
I'm like, that's great.
That's awesome.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but it's not bragging.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
It's happiness.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's happiness.
brendan schaub
I tell you because I know you relate to it.
joe rogan
So Brody, who was a murderer, you could never say he was great.
You could never say, like, Brody, you fucking kill me.
He would skirt around like, Rogan, always supportive.
Rogan, always got my back.
He would always deflect it.
I don't think he wanted to...
I don't think he wanted to accept the fact that people loved him.
Like when, you know, when he would have a great set, it would almost like, it wouldn't elevate him.
Like some guys get off stage, like Hinchcliffe.
Hinchcliffe will murder, he'll get off stage, he'll be like, whoo!
brendan schaub
Yeah, you'll know.
joe rogan
He'll come in the green room, his eyes will be giant, he'll high-five everybody.
brendan schaub
I love that.
joe rogan
He's feeling it, you know?
But, Brody didn't get like that.
brendan schaub
I'm not saying Theo's the same in any regards to what Brody was suffering with, but Theo has his demons, whatever.
It's out there.
I'm not outing.
Theo's the same way where he'll do a set, and I'm like, dude, that's one of the best things I've ever seen, man.
I'm like, get the fuck.
unidentified
Stop.
brendan schaub
Get the fuck.
I'm like, no, no, no.
I'm telling you, it's so good, dude.
joe rogan
It's a version of it.
I mean, Theo's got his own version.
It's not as extreme as Brody's.
brendan schaub
Everyone has their monsters.
joe rogan
Yeah, but a guy like you or me, you're goal-oriented.
You're trying to get better at things.
You see things.
That's how you got good at jiu-jitsu.
That's how you got good at fighting.
That's how you got good at comedy.
Everything you want to get good at, you get good at by focusing on it and setting goals and trying to get better and better.
And when you do get better, you celebrate.
You enjoy it.
It's fun.
It's exciting.
Some people don't get that feeling, man.
They don't ever get those highs.
Those highs just don't exist.
And for me...
You know, what gets me more than anything now is new stuff.
What gets me more than anything is creations.
Like those little things you come up with.
brendan schaub
Those nuggets.
Like if you do Jeremiah Watkins' show, and I'll walk away, I go, oh fuck.
I'll come in the back and go, dude, I wrote down what I killed.
I'm like, oh my god.
joe rogan
You're recording, right?
You record?
brendan schaub
And I go, I can run with that.
He goes, there's something there.
Then I'll walk away on like the highest high, man.
joe rogan
It's amazing, those shows.
brendan schaub
You know what's interesting, hanging around you as much as I have, is you're serious, but you and I are more similar than me or Delia or me and Callan.
Callan and Delia are so silly all the time.
Delia might be funnier offstage.
He's amazing onstage, but he's so funny offstage.
Brian's so funny offstage, where they're constantly on.
They get around, they mess around all the time, and you don't have to be that way.
I thought for the longest I had to...
Act that way.
Because I hung out with Brian and Counton and Delia so much.
I just want to chill and do my set and then talk about cars or whatever and get the fuck out of it.
Be myself.
I'm not them.
I don't want to have to be on and fuck around.
I don't like to fuck around all the time.
joe rogan
Well, Delia and Counton, they avoid real conversations.
They don't talk.
They just fake insult each other.
brendan schaub
Yeah, they just insult each other.
Where I'm like, alright, well, what else, man?
joe rogan
How's life?
Callan got boxing mitts made that have Galea's face on it.
unidentified
That's fake.
brendan schaub
Someone put those on there.
joe rogan
Someone put it on the Photoshop?
brendan schaub
Yeah, someone put those on there.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
brendan schaub
He did a great job.
It's hilarious, though.
joe rogan
I thought he actually had mitts made up.
I was like, that's hilarious.
brendan schaub
Yeah, someone fucked with him.
But those guys, that's who they are.
Callan, if it's a room of three or thirty, he's going to entertain him.
He's the clown.
joe rogan
That's why I took him hunting.
brendan schaub
That's not me, man.
That's not what I want to do.
I want to talk to you, ask about your family, and then go on stage and be funny.
joe rogan
Yeah, look at him there.
Look at Bryant Count throwing punches.
Like a guy who's never been punched.
unidentified
He's going to be so pissed he said that.
brendan schaub
Oh, maybe those are real.
That looks pretty real.
You're right.
joe rogan
That looks pretty goddamn real.
brendan schaub
You're right, brother.
joe rogan
There's no way it can be fake.
brendan schaub
Whenever I see Cal Hinton myths, I fast forward.
I go to the next page.
joe rogan
I know.
He's so silly.
brendan schaub
He's so silly.
joe rogan
How's he getting into boxing at 80 years old?
Look at this.
And he keeps telling me his shoulders are fine.
I'm like, well, why are you punching so slow then?
If your shoulders are fine, what is wrong?
Are you in a room with thick air?
brendan schaub
He's obsessed with it.
Are you fighting at high altitude all the time, Cal?
joe rogan
The altitude, if there's no altitude, at least your hands would move quicker.
That's real, do you know that?
That's with ballistics, with archery.
You shoot high, at high altitude.
brendan schaub
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Yes, because there's less drag.
brendan schaub
That makes sense.
joe rogan
There's less air.
Why is his hands moving so slow?
brendan schaub
He's going to be so sad.
joe rogan
It's weird.
brendan schaub
He's been boxing with private lessons for a while.
He goes, Wayne thinks I could probably fight pro.
I went, Callan, stop.
I went, Callan, you're paying that man money.
Don't talk to me.
joe rogan
I love Wayne.
brendan schaub
Here's the problem.
I said, you're 50-something years old, and you're paying that man money.
So if you went, Callen, you look terrible, you're going to go, well, you're the one coaching me.
So of course, and I went, let me ask you something.
You play tennis, right?
He goes, yeah.
I went, you hit with a pro, right?
He goes, yeah.
I went, you pay him, right?
I go, has he ever told you he thinks you can maybe compete?
He goes, yeah.
I went, that's what they do.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Because they got to show progress and hype you up.
Otherwise, if he's like, dude, you're awful.
Never fight again.
You're not going to keep paying him.
joe rogan
Dude.
brendan schaub
Isn't it great, though?
That's Calen.
That's Calen in a nutshell, though.
Isn't it great?
joe rogan
People that do that, that coach you, that blow smoke up your ass.
You've got to be super careful of those.
brendan schaub
Super careful.
joe rogan
One of any students had this guy who was a jiu-jitsu guy, and he was fighting in the UFC, and his Muay Thai coach was like, he's Bangkok ready.
And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
As a striker, I was like, No, he's not.
Like, what are you talking about?
Like, they blow smoke.
They get a fat one of these Tommy Chong joints.
brendan schaub
That's a firecracker.
joe rogan
Look at this joint.
brendan schaub
That's a firecracker from Tommy Chong.
joe rogan
And they stuff this in your asshole.
unidentified
Now...
joe rogan
They blow that smoke deep in your ass.
brendan schaub
Because you're like this on the other end.
joe rogan
And you start believing it, man.
You start believing, I'm going to go to Bangkok and fuck those dudes up.
brendan schaub
I always told Eddie he should make a shirt that says Bangkok ready.
joe rogan
I think he did.
brendan schaub
Did he make it?
joe rogan
Somebody made a shirt that said, you remember that story?
You remember that.
brendan schaub
Fascinating story.
joe rogan
Bro, I was there.
I was in the locker room and he said he's Bangkok ready.
brendan schaub
There's not a better term ever.
joe rogan
Well, it's not a better term ever, especially when you know the guy's not an elite striker.
brendan schaub
That's the best part about it.
Are you Bangkok ready?
joe rogan
Yeah, I'd watch him kick the bag and I'd be like, oh no.
You better take this guy down.
Take this guy down and get your strangle on, son.
brendan schaub
Get your strangle.
So we should have told Sage wasn't Bangkok ready.
Sage was not one championship ready.
joe rogan
Sage, you know, he's an alpha male now, right?
brendan schaub
Is he still there?
joe rogan
I believe so.
brendan schaub
Who left Alpha Male recently?
joe rogan
Did Lance Palmer leave?
I think Lance Palmer went to Mark Henry.
brendan schaub
Who's the chick?
The badass.
Cynthia...
joe rogan
Calvillo?
brendan schaub
Yeah, she left.
joe rogan
Where'd she go?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
Almost positive she left.
She's a badass.
joe rogan
You know, I mean...
I don't know what they're doing over there, so I can't really comment.
brendan schaub
I don't either.
joe rogan
But I do know that when Bang Ludwig was there, they were making some giant-ass fucking progress.
Everybody started moving better.
Everybody started putting together combinations better.
Look, you need a head coach.
Fighters need a head coach.
And even then, you might not win, right?
brendan schaub
No, it's tough enough.
joe rogan
You need a head coach.
You need a beast.
Look, if I was competing, really, if I was a young man and I was thinking about fighting in MMA, I'd probably move to Montreal.
brendan schaub
I go to Montreal or...
I was talking to Dustin about this.
ATT, there's so many guys, especially guys in the UFC. They get there and they're the big swinging dicks at their small gym.
They come to ATT and they're expecting the same attention.
joe rogan
Two problems with South Florida.
Pussy and pussy.
brendan schaub
And cocaine.
joe rogan
I've never tried it.
brendan schaub
Me neither.
I've never done it.
unidentified
I said that.
brendan schaub
Brazilian.
Spanish.
joe rogan
Cuban.
brendan schaub
I'd say that's a reason to go down there.
joe rogan
Bro, your dick is going to be hard every time the wind blows.
You're going to be excited, and you're not going to be focusing, and you're going to get cracked.
brendan schaub
Yeah, so maybe New Mexico, huh?
Montreal has hot-ass girls.
joe rogan
The other thing about, this is, I really believe, about some camps can have too many killers, and you can get fucked up as you're trying to learn and grow, and you never have enough guys that you can practice on.
brendan schaub
I think A.K.A., because they're so tough, they've injured each other.
joe rogan
Oh, they're animals.
brendan schaub
They guys just get fucked up.
joe rogan
If I wanted to learn how to wrestle, and I wanted to be a better wrestler.
brendan schaub
If I'm Francis Ngannou, I moved A.K.A. I agree.
Because DC has one fighting and Steve Bay left.
joe rogan
Yeah.
He's on his way out.
brendan schaub
Kane's there.
You already beat him.
Go there, dude.
joe rogan
That's what I say.
That's what I say.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he's playing grab-ass in France.
joe rogan
Well, because he's fucking striking.
The power he has.
It's like such a fucking checkmate weapon that no matter what anybody does, you're always ready for checkmate.
Boom!
It's like Wilder.
That kind of ridiculous power.
You're always ready for checkmate.
You're always ready.
brendan schaub
Wilder's is even more impressive than Francis.
joe rogan
I don't know about that.
Let me tell you something.
brendan schaub
That is amazing.
joe rogan
Francis has to cut to 265. Mark my motherfucking words.
If Francis Ngannou decides to jump ship and go heavyweight boxing...
brendan schaub
Careful!
Where are you going with this?
joe rogan
He will nuke some fools.
Nuke some fools.
unidentified
Not Wilder!
joe rogan
Oh, well, it's going to take a long time to get to Wilder's level.
Wilder's a world champion.
He's undefeated.
Look, Francis Ngannou's not ready to box with Wilder right now, but let me tell you something.
He might, or he might connect.
brendan schaub
No, come on.
joe rogan
Listen, Wilder's not the slickest guy in the world.
We're not talking about Muhammad Ali or Floyd Mayweather.
brendan schaub
You're talking about Olympic-level boxing.
You are.
joe rogan
Well, sort of.
Sort of.
A year and a half in, he was in the Olympics, but he mostly gets by on power and range.
brendan schaub
But Olympics, Olympics.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
But he's a year and a half into boxing.
I mean, I think Francis probably could have...
He did.
No doubt about it.
He's amazing.
But if Francis has a problem with grappling, you think about it.
What does he not have a problem with?
Striking.
He KOs Alistair Overeem.
brendan schaub
In the UFC. True.
joe rogan
True.
But Alistair Overeem is a world-class striker.
I mean, he's a kickboxer at the highest level, wins the K-1 Grand Prix.
I mean, he's knocked out Badr Hari.
He's beaten fucking Turkish Tyson.
brendan schaub
For sure.
joe rogan
He's beaten some good guys.
brendan schaub
Francis Faulkner is a little older.
And here's the other thing.
If Alistair Overeem entered the boxing ring with Deontay Wilder, he wouldn't last a minute?
joe rogan
I agree with you.
However, maybe.
Well, if he could kick his legs, Deontay wouldn't.
unidentified
No, boxing.
brendan schaub
I'm sorry, straight boxing.
That's what we're talking about.
joe rogan
But it was a Muay Thai fight.
I mean, it was an MMA fight, so he's allowed to do everything.
brendan schaub
I know, I'm just saying, if it was straight boxing, you're talking about apples and oranges.
joe rogan
Right, but think about that.
If Deontay Wilder fought Alistair Overeem in an MMA fight right now, how do you think that would go?
brendan schaub
He'd finish him in under a minute.
joe rogan
He'd leg kick the shit out of him.
brendan schaub
He wouldn't even need it.
He'd take him down and choke him in three seconds.
joe rogan
But he couldn't do that to Francis Ngannou.
Couldn't leg kick him.
Couldn't keep him off him.
brendan schaub
Because Francis Ngannou.
But if Alistair and Francis went to the box arena, they'd get absolutely annihilated.
joe rogan
I agree with you.
But the thing that's holding...
Well, unless they focused on it for as long as those guys did.
But the thing that holds back Deontay Wilder from people, like all the boxing pundits praising him, is that they think he has awkward technique.
brendan schaub
He's wild.
joe rogan
But his results are spectacular.
Okay?
Francis Ngannou, everybody he connects on other than Stipe, goes night-night.
Stipe's the only guy.
Stipe...
Stipe survived.
Stipe figured out how to use his championship medal and his grit and use his takedowns and won the fight.
brendan schaub
Derek Lewis ate some shots.
It was just a terrible fight.
joe rogan
That fight, I don't even think that counts.
brendan schaub
That doesn't count.
joe rogan
That fight is such a mess from top to bottom.
That was the worst fight maybe in the history of the fucking sport.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
They didn't throw anything.
brendan schaub
The problem with that fight is because they're such knockout artists, you're expecting such fireworks.
joe rogan
Dude, it was a big disappointment.
I said to everybody, there is not a fucking way this fight can suck.
brendan schaub
That's what I said.
joe rogan
You can never say that because it always sucks.
brendan schaub
I know.
joe rogan
Whenever you say there's not a way this fight can suck, it's going to suck.
brendan schaub
It was so disappointing, man.
It was so disappointing.
joe rogan
It was, but then when he comes back and he knocks out Curtis Blades for the second time, which I thought Blades had a way better shot at him the second time.
unidentified
Me too.
brendan schaub
I actually thought he would probably beat him.
joe rogan
Especially after the Francis Ngannou fight.
But it showed that Ngannou has really got it back together again.
brendan schaub
And now he's fighting JDS. They moved it, though.
It was supposed to be in Vegas.
They moved it.
unidentified
It's a dangerous fight for JDS. It's a dangerous fight for both guys, really.
joe rogan
But yeah, definitely JDS. I just think Ngannou has...
If you're going to stand in front of him, man...
He's gonna hit you with something.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's the thing.
He's one of those, I'm gonna hit you with something, guys.
brendan schaub
When he beat Kane, I was like, holy fuck, dude.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
brendan schaub
Kane thought his leg blew out.
That's so bad.
joe rogan
He really did think that's what happened.
When you look at the replay, he clearly got hit with an uppercut.
brendan schaub
Like a car went on.
joe rogan
That's all it needs.
That guy, all he needs is to touch you.
And the more he does it, the more confident he gets in it, the better.
He's only been fucking training for six years.
People need to get that in their head.
brendan schaub
I want to see him versus John so bad.
joe rogan
Him versus John Jones?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
What do you think would happen?
I think John would take him down.
brendan schaub
I think John smokes him.
joe rogan
John would take him down.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
John didn't get hit.
Listen, John easily could be 240 pounds.
Easily.
brendan schaub
I think what he's doing is he's going to clean out light heavyweight.
There's really no one there for him.
He's going to clean that out and then go to heavyweight.
joe rogan
Maybe.
Or maybe he just stays at light heavyweight and just goes down as the goat and just keeps beating the fuck out of all the contenders.
unidentified
He's already the goat, though.
brendan schaub
He is.
unidentified
It's weird.
brendan schaub
DC wants that fight again at light heavyweight.
I'm like, come on, DC. Does he?
Do at least that heavyweight.
joe rogan
Heavyweight's the way to go.
That's an ego thing for DC. If DC gets past Stipe, which is a big if.
It's a big if.
You gotta realize, like, DC connected with that beautiful punch in the clinch, but Stipe has had over a year to stew on that.
It's been driving him fucking crazy.
unidentified
I don't think that's a good thing.
joe rogan
I think it's good for Stipe.
unidentified
I don't.
joe rogan
Stipe's an animal.
I'm not worried about that.
I think he's gonna be better.
brendan schaub
I think ring rot's an issue.
joe rogan
I don't think so.
brendan schaub
DC's been way more active.
joe rogan
But Stipe's a real veteran, man.
He's a real veteran, and he's a humble dude.
He's a hard-ass.
He's not going to come in there with a lot of expectations on himself.
He's just going to do his best, I think.
I'm not worried at all about the...
I think it's a tougher fight for DC. Like, if Donald Cerrone was taking a year-plus off, and then was going to fight for the title, I'd be like, ooh, I'd like Donald to get a fight in.
brendan schaub
God, I wish he would do that.
You and I are off on this.
I wish Donald would take a fucking break and not fight Tony in three days notice.
joe rogan
No, I agree with that too.
I wish he would take a break and not fight Tony in three weeks notice.
But, three weeks after his last fight.
But, when Donald fights a lot, as long as it's within reason, it's the best Donald.
brendan schaub
That's what he wants.
joe rogan
Yes.
He just likes to get in the groove.
He likes to stay active.
I think for Stipe...
brendan schaub
You can't be champion and do that though.
Name someone who's done it.
joe rogan
Go.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Name one guy.
joe rogan
Well, everyone's different.
brendan schaub
I'm just going off measurements.
There's no one who's that active.
joe rogan
Who's ever fought the most as champion?
Who's fought the most?
brendan schaub
The most?
joe rogan
Like the most active.
I know.
brendan schaub
Who's the most active champion?
DC's pretty active at light heavyweight and heavyweight.
Pretty fucking active.
joe rogan
Pretty fucking active.
And I think John is trying to be really active.
I mean, think about it.
brendan schaub
That whole division's fucked.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He's going to clear out all of them and dip out and leave them like the fucking Queen of the Dragons.
joe rogan
Okay, George St. Pierre fought 15 title bouts.
Wow, he had 15 title bouts.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
Randy Couture, 15. How about Randy Couture?
brendan schaub
But that doesn't mean active.
joe rogan
All these years later, still.
brendan schaub
That could have been 15 over seven years.
joe rogan
That's still all those years.
Later, Randy Couture is still tied for the record of the most title fights.
That's crazy.
Mighty Mouse right under that with 14, Anderson 13. The difference is with all those guys, you know, I mean, it's all different eras, different divisions.
brendan schaub
I think era means everything because I think what John's doing in the current era is more impressive than what Randy or George or Anderson did.
joe rogan
Who do you think is a danger to John right now?
brendan schaub
There's no one.
At light heavyweight?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
No one.
Absolutely no one.
Thiago Santos, I know we've got to hype it up.
I'm like, oh, punch a chance.
Yeah, for sure, I get that.
There's no one at light heavyweight.
You know what?
Johnny Walker, but he's so far removed right now, he has to get by maybe three more guys before we start being like, yeah, he might be a threat.
But he's maybe a potential.
joe rogan
Hope his shoulder's okay.
brendan schaub
Mm-hmm.
joe rogan
If his shoulder's okay, what that guy does is crazy.
He starches people.
He starches Khalil Roundtree with an elbow in the clinch.
Remember that?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Vicious.
joe rogan
That crazy, this kind of elbow.
One of them bad boys.
brendan schaub
Vicious.
joe rogan
KOs him with that, and then KOs Misha Sukarnoff with a flying knee right to the fucking chops.
brendan schaub
Freak.
joe rogan
He's a freak.
brendan schaub
But he hasn't done it like Jon has to Shogun Hua.
unidentified
No.
brendan schaub
No comparison.
joe rogan
Look, there's no comparison to anyone who's ever fought in the light heavyweight division and Jon Jones.
Right now, there's no comparison.
brendan schaub
There's no threats.
joe rogan
Except DC. But DC lost.
He lost twice.
brendan schaub
DC's not a threat at light heavyweight.
DC at heavyweight?
joe rogan
I still think he's a threat at light heavyweight.
I think he's a threat.
brendan schaub
Not right now.
At heavyweight, yes.
Heavyweight, he's a threat.
His power goes up.
joe rogan
We've seen how it works out for DC. But what if DC got more dedicated and disciplined with his diet?
So what if DC fights against Stipe and says...
So when does this Stipe fight happen?
brendan schaub
Is it July?
joe rogan
July?
Okay.
So what if DC says, okay, August, September...
Let's plan for New Year's Eve...
With John Jones that weekend, and he takes a week off, goes to fucking Mardi Gras, whatever the fuck he wants to do, drinks some beer.
brendan schaub
Shout out to New Orleans.
joe rogan
Yeah, have some pizza, kicks back.
brendan schaub
Yeah, for a week.
joe rogan
And then goes on a serious diet with a real good nutritionist who's going to check his macros, make sure he's eating healthy food.
brendan schaub
And you think that's why he's not being John?
joe rogan
No, but I'm saying where he could get down to 205 healthy.
Where he doesn't have any...
Look, Daniel Cormier, if there's anything that's ever held him back, he's not the best at his diet.
brendan schaub
But that's what makes DC great.
joe rogan
Well, he's one of the things that makes him great.
He's a wrestler.
He's a fantastic wrestler.
That makes him great.
He's tough as shit.
That makes him great.
brendan schaub
His endurance is great.
joe rogan
Incredible mental strength.
And that could be due to his body fat.
I don't know about all that.
brendan schaub
Some people say.
Think about the most shredded guys in the UFC. Well, I don't mean he should get shredded.
joe rogan
What I mean is he should make 205 with no problems, where he could go to war for five rounds with a guy like Jon Jones without weakening him.
I don't know if that's possible.
You might be right.
brendan schaub
I don't know if it's in his DNA, especially at his age.
joe rogan
At 40 years of age.
brendan schaub
I think heavyweight's the way to go.
Heavyweight, his power's up.
We saw that with Stipe.
I think if he's going to connect, which he has, in the clinch against John, the power's there.
I still think he'll be an underdog, but that gap narrows, that heavyweight.
Light heavyweight, it doesn't, especially at his age.
I think it's even further apart now that John's being more active.
joe rogan
Well, maybe he wants to do that to prove a point.
That's my problem.
brendan schaub
His ego, man.
Fuck light heavyweight.
At heavyweight, dude, you're the champ.
John, if he wants to have that Lexi fight, that rubber match, go there and let's see what happens.
joe rogan
I kind of agree with you now.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I kind of agree with you.
brendan schaub
Especially for DC. It's like, DC, dude, if you beat John at heavyweight and you ride off in the sunset, game, set, match, best of all time to ever do it.
joe rogan
Right.
Like, how about this?
Tito Ortiz right now owns Chuck Liddell, right?
Chuck Liddell smashes him two times when they're in their prime, but then Tito knocked him out.
And Chuck looked terrible.
Tito KO'd him.
It looked really bad.
And Chuck will never fight again.
And Tito will always sleep at night knowing he just fucked Chuck Liddell up.
brendan schaub
Don't just think about those other ones.
joe rogan
Right.
You don't even think about it.
He got it back.
He got it back in a big way.
He got it back the way he wanted to.
He clipped him with a right hand, put his lights out, and then punched him a couple times when he's out.
brendan schaub
And that's a wrap.
And for DC, it's like, even after the John loss, he went on to fucking heavyweight to knock out Stipe, who some can argue it's the best UFC heavyweight of all time.
He went on to beat Derrick Lewis, who's so dangerous.
And let's say he beat Stipe for a second time.
What the fuck?
joe rogan
You know what I was really impressed with?
I was really impressed with the way Chuck handled that loss.
Did you see the way Chuck talked about it on Instagram?
He just basically said, hey man, you put yourself out there, you go out there, you set goals, you try, and if you fail, it doesn't mean you quit.
You get back on your horse and you fucking get right back to it.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
I try not to be so judgmental.
joe rogan
He let go of all the hate and all the bullshit.
I was very impressed with him.
brendan schaub
Me too.
And I like Chuck.
He's a good person.
joe rogan
If John Jones is number one, Chuck's number two, as far as great light heavyweights, he was the fucking man.
I mean, when he defined the early days of the UFC, one of the things about the UFC was like this crazy thing was like cage fighting.
And here's this guy with painted toenails and a mohawk and a head tattoo.
And he's just murking people.
Murking people.
brendan schaub
Biggest, like, was like the first big, big star in our sport to transcend and go on to entourage and have commercials and doing those fucking automotive commercials.
joe rogan
Lived like a rock star, too.
I mean, that dude went hard.
unidentified
Where do you stand like that?
joe rogan
Do you remember that one interview that he did?
brendan schaub
Where he was hammered?
joe rogan
He was on something.
brendan schaub
He was on all the drugs?
joe rogan
He was on everything.
And he's doing morning TV. He's like, yeah, I'd like to fight the Hulk.
I wish he was real.
brendan schaub
Isn't that great?
unidentified
I love that shit.
joe rogan
I don't remember what the fuck he said, but he was clearly on cloud nine.
Look, he's an animal, man.
Like a legit, bona fide animal.
brendan schaub
Whose responsibility is it?
Guys like BJ Penn, who keeps losing, to find his legacy now.
A guy like Anderson Silva.
Where do you stand on letting those guys fight?
joe rogan
That's a very good question, man.
brendan schaub
If you're Dana White, what do you do?
Because at the end of the day, the commissions can go, alright, physically, yeah, man, he passed the fucking physical, so we gotta let him fight.
But at the end of the day, if they don't have a resource or a job from the head man, if Dana calls BJ... Or Chuck, just like he did with Chuck.
He's like, I'm not giving you a venue to fight at.
It's not happening.
So I wonder at what point, if you're Dana, let's say you're Dana, at what point do you tell these guys to stop fighting?
Because I feel like for Anderson, although I don't remember him that way, the new generations remember him for being this guy.
For BJ, the new generation only knows him as losing.
We know him as one of the greats.
So I feel like if I'm Dana, I owe it to them to say you can't fight anymore.
joe rogan
I don't know if BJ is...
Capable of competing at the level that he's competing at right now when he's losing to these guys.
I don't know if he is because it doesn't seem like he's capable of it.
brendan schaub
Well, he's lost, what, six in a row?
joe rogan
Yeah.
And if I look at the BJ that I saw against Ryan Hall, up until the time he gets leg locked, he looks fucking great.
brendan schaub
That happened fast, though, bro.
joe rogan
No, I know.
I'm with you.
I'm saying he looks like he's fit.
He looks like he's in shape.
He looks like he's a top fighter.
But...
He almost needs to fight a young guy coming up so we can see.
When he fights Clay Guida or he fights someone like that...
He's losing.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And then Ryan Hawley's losing.
I feel like...
I don't know.
joe rogan
He's not who he used to be.
brendan schaub
No, obviously not.
joe rogan
But I don't even know where his head's at.
brendan schaub
I feel like if I'm Dana, I'm going, hey man, I'm doing you guys a solid.
You can't fight here anymore.
And now they might go on to other organizations, but it's not the UFC. So they can go on there and compete, but you're not going to tarnish your legacy at the highest level here in the UFC. Not under my watch.
So I... I couldn't do it.
I'll never pick against BJ. I would never pick against Randy Couture.
I don't have it in me.
So when BJ fights, I'm like, I'll take BJ because I refuse to pick against him.
That's how much I respect him.
But at some point, and I couldn't do it, and obviously Dana can't either.
Could you be like, hey dude, no more.
We're done.
joe rogan
Well, I'd have to be friends with him like I was friends with you.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, I mean, when Yair Rodriguez 360 roundhouse kicked him in the face, that should have been the end.
I mean, that was, you saw that and compared to BJ when BJ beat Sean Shirk.
Like, you're looking at a, this is a severely different fighter.
brendan schaub
Whose job is it to tell them?
Family and friends, I guess?
joe rogan
No one's job.
You know, here's the thing, man.
brendan schaub
We can't let the fighter decide.
joe rogan
Well, what is, I don't think he should be competing at the highest level of the sport.
But if he still wants to compete, who's to say he can't?
Who's to say he can't go to a small organization and fight for them?
Who's to say?
brendan schaub
Whose choice is it, Joe?
joe rogan
He's not getting sparked out.
I mean, he's still conscious.
Yeah, I know.
He's getting beat, but he's not getting crushed.
brendan schaub
Nope.
joe rogan
And not in all the fights, at least.
I mean, the Ryan Hall one is probably the most...
brendan schaub
Ryan Hall's going to tear anyone's knee off, though.
joe rogan
I hate to tell you.
brendan schaub
If they give him anybody, he's going to do that to your knee.
joe rogan
Well, he's a phenomenal grappler and a super, super intelligent guy, too.
But that was probably the kindest way for him to lose, just to get tapped real quick.
brendan schaub
Not if you're a black belt.
joe rogan
Beat up like Frankie Edgar did to him.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I know.
But I guess, again, the commission, they have a tough job because physically, we can't see into his brain, but physically he's passing all the tests.
Whose job is it to tell Bernard Hopkins not to take that last fight when he got knocked out of the fucking ring?
Whose job is it to tell Roy Jones, don't go to Russia and get knocked out?
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's a story that's so old.
unidentified
It repeats itself over and over and over again.
brendan schaub
That's what makes these stories so great when they're in their prime and you're watching them come up and it's so special.
But it's also what makes this sport so fucking heartbreaking.
Because you know who does do that?
The NFL and the NBA. They tell you no.
They tell you no.
joe rogan
That's it.
brendan schaub
And it's very black and white.
joe rogan
But that's because someone has to fill that position and they're not about nostalgia.
They're about who does the best job in that position.
brendan schaub
Shouldn't the UFC be that way?
joe rogan
Yeah, but it's not that.
The UFC doesn't know who does the best job in that position until they set you up with somebody.
When they see you over and over and over again, then...
But the argument is he's not getting crushed.
He's not getting sparked out.
He's not getting knocked out.
He's just not as good as he used to be.
No, it's not a good argument.
But he's not as good as he used to be.
brendan schaub
I'm not arguing.
I don't have the answer.
Why do you think he's still at the UFC? He hasn't found a passion.
I don't know.
Because he's still a draw, maybe?
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a good question.
brendan schaub
Out of respect?
joe rogan
Is it out of respect?
What is it?
brendan schaub
What he's done for the game.
He's earned the right to go out on his own note.
But the stakes are so high in fighting.
It's different than basketball.
I don't know whose job it's and I don't have the answer and I wish I did.
I don't know.
It's the most heartbreaking thing in sports, I think.
joe rogan
I agree.
brendan schaub
And I think with BJ, if he would have found, and I don't know BJ well enough, but if he would have found a passion like I did with stand-up or podcasting or something else, he probably would have been out and never come back.
joe rogan
Maybe.
But the thrill of what he does...
unidentified
But that's what makes BJ great.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, he's a multiple-time world champion.
The thrill of BJ when he was in his prime is probably indescribable.
brendan schaub
Like, what brings Nate Diaz back, even though he has money in the bank?
What's going to bring Conor back?
It's not money.
Those guys were born fighters.
They're natural-born fighters.
This is what they do, and that's what makes them feel alive.
So, I don't know.
joe rogan
Yeah, the excitement, the thrill, the fucking...
I mean, and look, we're all going to die.
It's like...
When people say you should look out for their health, well then we should stop fighting altogether.
brendan schaub
Correct.
And stop playing football.
joe rogan
Yeah, stop doing everything.
brendan schaub
And we should probably stop drinking.
joe rogan
And no more driving.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Driving's dangerous.
Gotta walk everywhere.
If we just walk and people get in accidents walking, they'll be fine.
They'll bump into each other.
It's no big deal.
brendan schaub
That would be cool.
joe rogan
I mean, there's a real argument for that, right?
You have a small window to experience this life.
Do it in what you want.
But yeah, with a guy like BJ Penn, the reality is there should probably be a number of fights that you lose in the UFC where you could just get cut.
brendan schaub
It used to be three.
joe rogan
Was it a signed in-paper thing?
brendan schaub
No, but man, when you've lost two, which I did, that third one, Joe Silva would tell your manager, and he told my manager Lex McMahon, he goes, you know, with this one, you know, It's probably over.
He wouldn't say that.
He'd go, we're giving him one more.
And you knew that was your shot.
If you lost, you were done.
Even if you won by decision, they wouldn't cut you.
You knew as long as you got the job done, you would extend.
joe rogan
I saw one of your interviews.
It was really interesting.
You were talking about if you bomb, you could always go down to improv and have a new set, redeem yourself.
But when you were fighting, if you lost, you'd have like six months.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
The worst.
And just dwell on that.
And be like, no, I promise you I'm getting better.
And stand up and be like, no, I promise.
I bombed at the comic store.
I went to the improv and they laughed.
So, what's up?
joe rogan
What's up?
Yeah, the life of a fighter is probably the most stressful job in all of sports.
Certainly in all of entertainment.
brendan schaub
Besides, you know, obviously when we're at war and soldiers, it's a close thing to get to Spartan.
And I do not, I don't admire it.
I feel sorry for them because I've been through it.
But That's from my perspective.
A lot of those guys, they fucking live off that, man.
joe rogan
Well, you're too nice.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I'm too nice.
I felt horrible for Brazil.
I felt bad for Wilder when he got in.
I'm like, God, he's such a good dude.
I wish he would find something else to do.
I'm telling this to the Showtime guys.
I'm like, God, I hope he parlays this into something really cool after this.
joe rogan
He can make hundreds of millions of dollars.
I think Deontay Wilder...
brendan schaub
He made $20 million that night.
joe rogan
Yeah.
He's going to go down as one of the greatest of all time.
I think so.
I think he's getting better with every fight.
And I think if Joshua gets hit on the chin with one of those fucking bombs away, we can see some crazy shit.
The thing about Wilder is he knows how to take it, too.
He can take it.
brendan schaub
He got blasted by Ortiz.
If you notice in the Brazil fight, he got caught.
He backs up.
He got blasted against Fury.
joe rogan
He gets hit.
He got hit in the 12th round against Fury.
brendan schaub
That's why him and Joshua are so interesting.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
Because Joshua...
joe rogan
Oh, he does.
He does.
And he's been hit before and dropped.
brendan schaub
I did this interview.
joe rogan
Vladimir Klitschko?
Yeah.
Remember that fight?
brendan schaub
And he got back off the ground.
joe rogan
And then starched him.
brendan schaub
I did this interview with Fox Sports Lee Hay.
And she goes, who's the most overrated mainstream boxer?
And I answered.
I went, hmm...
I'm going to say Anthony Joshua just because I want him to hear this.
And he's like, ah, fuck that.
I'm going to fight Wilder now.
But people ran with him.
It was like, oh, he thinks Joshua's overrated.
No, I don't think Joshua.
I think Joshua's such a fucking...
joe rogan
He's an Olympic gold medalist.
brendan schaub
Overrated.
No, he's beat Klitschko.
unidentified
He's a world champion.
brendan schaub
It doesn't make sense.
joe rogan
He's amazing.
brendan schaub
I just want him and Wilder to fight.
joe rogan
He's also built like a Greek god.
You know?
brendan schaub
It might be the sexist man alive.
joe rogan
He might be.
unidentified
It's fucking tough.
joe rogan
He's jacked at like 245. Jassy.
Super shredded.
brendan schaub
And have you heard him commentate?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's brilliant.
brendan schaub
Articulate, man.
joe rogan
And that accent.
brendan schaub
It's lovely.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Lovely, champ.
brendan schaub
If I was gay, it'd be so on.
joe rogan
Let's go, champ.
brendan schaub
It'd be so on.
joe rogan
Yeah.
What is happening with my man, Shannon the Cannons?
Bank of the Lex...
Let's go, champ.
He's been trying to get a fight forever.
brendan schaub
Is he still?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's always trying to get a fight.
Yeah, he's always trying to get a fight.
brendan schaub
He's too old, and it's like too much of a risk.
It's a three-man horse race, you know what I'm saying?
Three horsemen.
If you're not those three, no one will see you fight anybody.
joe rogan
Yeah, and you would have to be moving him up the line.
brendan schaub
Nah, he's too old.
Did you hear Jim Gray after the fight?
unidentified
What'd he say?
brendan schaub
He goes to Wilder, he goes, and people are booing him, because he goes, and I love it, but I also get why people are booing.
He goes...
He goes, Champ, Wilder, great performance.
He goes, I hate to tell you.
And Brazil's behind him.
He goes, no one wants to see you do this to Brazil.
No one wants to see you fight Ortiz next.
That's supposedly what was supposed to be next.
No one wants to see you fight Ortiz next.
It's either Joshua or Fury.
That's all we want to see.
When are we going to get that?
joe rogan
Who is booing?
brendan schaub
The crowd?
Because Brazil got starched.
I'm like, come on, he's in the ring.
But Jim Gray, there's no offense.
joe rogan
So they were booing Jim Gray when he said that?
brendan schaub
Yeah, because he asked that.
But I'm like, I've been shouting from the rooftops of my podcast saying the exact same thing.
It's hard, and I told Showtime this, it's hard to sell these fights because no one cares unless it's the ones we want to see, which is what makes the UFC so great.
You know you're going to get one versus the champ.
You know you're going to get the number two guy versus the champ.
The best are fighting the best night in, night out.
joe rogan
Yeah, so they got mad at Jim Gray for telling the truth?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
She's going to get mad.
That is what it is.
Jim Gray knows what the fuck he's doing.
brendan schaub
It's also the truth.
joe rogan
It's the truth.
He knows what the fuck he's doing.
Look, man, I want to see Luis Ortiz.
I want to see that fight.
brendan schaub
You want to see what?
joe rogan
Luis Ortiz and Wilder.
Again?
100%.
brendan schaub
You think that should be next?
joe rogan
No, I'm not saying that should be next.
Look, if Joshua and Tyson Fury decide to fight and Lewis decides to fight Wilder, I'm fine with that.
brendan schaub
You want to see it again?
joe rogan
I'm fine with that.
Lewis Ortiz is a beast.
brendan schaub
He's a beast.
joe rogan
It's not the best fight, but I would watch the shit out of that fight more than Dominic Brazil.
brendan schaub
Oh, for sure.
joe rogan
I would have loved to see that fight.
I would have loved to see that fight instead.
And I think they offered it to Ortiz, but I think Ortiz had an injury.
brendan schaub
They offered it to Ortiz Joshua because Joshua's opponent tested hot.
That's June, right?
Yeah.
They offered it to him and he said no.
But this is boxing.
His manager goes, we want more money than that.
We want double.
Joshua's team went, on short notice?
No, we're giving you, I think it was five million.
He went ten.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
Look, Luis Ortiz is legit, bro.
Legit.
He's a fucking cubic Olympic boxer.
brendan schaub
We have no idea how old he is.
joe rogan
But dude, come on.
How badass is goddamn Deontay Wilder?
I mean, he's losing that fight.
unidentified
You know how technical Ortiz is?
joe rogan
Yes, and he cracks him, but he hits so fucking hard.
brendan schaub
So does Ortiz.
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
That's what's amazing.
joe rogan
No, he does not.
brendan schaub
Ortiz is a killer, dude.
joe rogan
He's a killer, but he is not a killer the way Deontay Wilder is.
That's a totally different animal.
brendan schaub
Joshua and Fury aren't a killer like Wilder.
When it comes to one-punch power, the hardest hitter in the world.
joe rogan
Wilder is made out of wood.
That dude is iron.
When he fucking hits dudes, he hits dudes in a different way.
It's like they're getting clubbed.
Boom!
brendan schaub
It's amazing, dude.
joe rogan
The first thing I asked him when he did the podcast, I'm like, how the fuck do you hit so hard?
Like, look, he just knows.
He can absorb shots.
He's just smart enough to hang on there and just stand in front of you.
If you're standing in front of him, he can uncork on you.
brendan schaub
How skinny he is.
joe rogan
But look at this fight, man.
brendan schaub
He's 23 pounds.
joe rogan
This is a tough fight.
This is what I'm saying.
brendan schaub
He was losing this fight, dude.
unidentified
Look at this.
joe rogan
He's getting his body worked.
He's getting beat up.
He got clubbed there.
Dude, he is getting fucking hurt.
So this is not an easy fight for him.
And I think the rematch will be even harder.
I really, truly believe that.
I think whatever Ortiz has got left in his body, he's going to come at him.
And Deontay Wilder knows that this guy can fucking box.
The difference, I think, is with Wilder, you're dealing with a guy who is getting better with every fight because he's literally learning on the job as one of the most successful heavyweight champions of all time.
Because he's only been fighting since he was 20. He's getting better and better and better.
For Luis Ortiz, Luis Ortiz is like maintaining right now.
brendan schaub
He's 60 years old.
joe rogan
He's 49,000 years old.
brendan schaub
No, he's 60 years old from Cuba.
We have no idea.
He has 7,000 fights.
unidentified
We have no idea.
joe rogan
And he's been popped.
He's been popped for steroids.
brendan schaub
To quote Joey Diaz, it's fucking Fury or Joshua, go fuck your mother.
joe rogan
And then he dropped him.
And he dropped him here.
brendan schaub
I think we're going to get Joshua Wilder next, man.
joe rogan
Listen, bro, if we don't, I'm telling you, I'm down to see this fight again.
I'm down to see this fight again.
Ortiz hurt.
He hurt Wilder, man.
brendan schaub
No, Wilder's losing that fight.
joe rogan
Yep.
He hurt Wilder.
brendan schaub
That's the happiest I've ever been.
joe rogan
Dude, I fucking love that guy.
brendan schaub
I jumped out of my seat.
joe rogan
I love that guy.
I love his story.
I love how he is as a person.
He's fun.
brendan schaub
Great person.
joe rogan
He's great.
And also, it's interesting how small he is as a heavyweight.
brendan schaub
So thin.
joe rogan
When he fought Tyson Fury, he weighed 209. It's nuts, man.
brendan schaub
209. My favorite part is he's such a beast of a dad, too.
Brings his kid, the little baby, and his wife everywhere.
Brings the rest of the kids everywhere.
joe rogan
I was surprised how sweet he was.
He's a warm, friendly guy.
You love him right away.
To everybody, blessings, blessings.
brendan schaub
He's a real talent, man.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Like, vibrate success.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's the real deal, man.
It's good to be around.
I'm excited about the heavyweight division, too, because I feel the same way about Joshua.
Joshua seems like a champ of a person.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I've never talked to him.
Seems awesome.
joe rogan
Yeah, like, all these interviews, he, like, comes across.
He's smiling.
He's charismatic.
He's interesting.
brendan schaub
Probably pull up an Aston Martin.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Probably got one of them Land Rover V8s.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Those defenders.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Just fucks all the girls.
joe rogan
I'm saying that because I saw a video of him where there was a car show where they drove Anthony Joshua around.
He got to drive around one of those Land Rover Defenders, those boxy-looking military vehicles.
brendan schaub
Oh, I love those.
unidentified
Those are dope.
brendan schaub
Those are sick.
joe rogan
They're about to release a new one.
brendan schaub
They're coming out with a new one?
joe rogan
Yeah, Land Rover's coming out with a new Defender.
brendan schaub
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
Yeah, they have a new model.
brendan schaub
It makes sense.
They're such hits.
Just like Ford's coming out with a Bronco.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They're coming out with a Bronco, and they're also going to have a smaller Bronco.
brendan schaub
Yeah, they're having a baby Bronco?
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like a two-door and a four-door?
brendan schaub
And wait until they do the SVT version of it, like the Raptor version of the Bronco.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
brendan schaub
I have to get rid of the Raptor, son.
joe rogan
Your Raptor is one of my all-time favorite trucks.
It is such a meathead move to get a goddamn Raptor.
Especially in LA. You're such a meathead.
Like, you got bales of hay back there, son?
What are you using that pickup for?
Zero things?
brendan schaub
What am I using for it?
Being awesome.
joe rogan
Being awesome.
Everything is awesome.
The thing about those two...
brendan schaub
And it's uplifted with fucking monster truck.
joe rogan
Raptors are preposterous cars because they give someone the ability to drive like a real off-road vehicle with 500 plus horsepower and just get it from a factory.
It has a crazy suspension.
You could just drive over the fucking moon with that suspension.
I mean, it has crazy travel in those wheels.
So when you drive it on the highway, too, it's like smooth.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it feels like an S-Class almost.
joe rogan
Yeah, it absorbs everything.
brendan schaub
But yet it's huge.
joe rogan
But yet it's a monster of a vehicle.
unidentified
It's a monster.
joe rogan
And you could accessory the fuck out of that bitch with some crazy bumpers and rear bumpers and tail bumpers.
Yep, you sure can.
Side pipes.
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
I mean, side steps and shit.
What is that?
unidentified
Deontay Wilder's Gator Skin Aventador.
brendan schaub
Oh, no.
unidentified
Oh, no.
Oh no!
joe rogan
Let's go champ!
brendan schaub
No, I don't support this.
joe rogan
I'm 100%.
unidentified
No way!
joe rogan
I love him more now.
Look at that fucking car.
I want more pictures.
Yes!
unidentified
Wow!
joe rogan
First of all, what are you going to do with gator skin?
Listen, first of all, that's a wrap.
Okay, that's not real gator skin.
It's a wrap.
If it was real gator skin, they would have to glue it to the car and ruin it.
jamie vernon
There's like divots on the little things.
unidentified
It's a wrap.
joe rogan
Hush your mouth.
That's not alligator skin.
Dude, I have an alligator skin.
I hate alligators.
I don't know if you know this.
brendan schaub
I don't like them.
joe rogan
I don't talk about it too much, but I have a hate for them.
brendan schaub
You're scared of them?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When I was a little kid, I lived in Florida.
When I lived in Gainesville from age 11 to 13. Oh, wow.
And we lived near a place called Lake Alice.
And Lake Alice had alligators.
And I knew there was a lady that was walking her dog by the lake.
And the alligator came out and snatched her fucking dog from it.
And you saw it at like 11. I didn't see it.
I didn't see it.
But I remember that being a thing.
And I remember seeing those goddamn things all the time.
And everybody telling me that you don't have to worry about it.
When I'm 11...
My sister is 10, and we'd be hanging out at this lake, and I'd be like, what the fuck is to stop an alligator from eating us?
Nothing!
And I remember looking them in the eye, and I'm fascinated by them, right?
They're amazing, because I always loved dinosaurs when I was a kid.
brendan schaub
It's a dinosaur.
joe rogan
It is a dinosaur.
And I was always into nature.
I'm always into cool nature shows and documentaries.
So I'm looking at this thing, thinking like, oh, we're just used to them being around.
Like, we shouldn't allow them to be around.
We're just used to them being around.
So we think it's cool that they're around.
But they will fucking eat you!
And they'll eat your dog.
brendan schaub
Any chance they get.
joe rogan
So I started buying...
I buy alligator...
I always have alligator belts.
All my belts are always alligator.
brendan schaub
That's gangster.
joe rogan
Dude, I have alligator bags for my pool cues.
I keep them in alligator.
brendan schaub
You have alligator luggage?
joe rogan
I don't like it.
I have an alligator wallet.
brendan schaub
I don't like them.
joe rogan
I don't like them.
I want to kill them.
I want to kill them.
If there was too many of them and they were near you, you'd want to kill them too.
They're eating machines.
They're heartless eating machines.
They got a brain the size of a thumb.
I don't like them.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about the one at Disney World?
The parents that took their kid there, the two-year-old.
joe rogan
Yes.
Ate the fucking kid.
At Disney World, they have a real problem in Florida.
They have to scan the fucking property looking for alligators.
They have to go through it.
They have waters there.
I took my daughter, my youngest.
We went fishing there.
There's a lake where you go bass fishing.
It's amazing.
brendan schaub
And there's tons of alligators in there?
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, there is!
You gotta be careful, man.
Anytime you got a body of water and just land around it.
brendan schaub
In Florida.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
No swimming in Florida.
That's my rule.
joe rogan
No swimming in those lakes.
unidentified
No swimming.
brendan schaub
No, anyway.
joe rogan
Bro, don't do it.
brendan schaub
No swimming.
There's no water sports in Florida.
That's the rule.
joe rogan
Get out of the water.
brendan schaub
No, dude.
I was in Tampa.
You want to go to the beach?

brendan schaub
Too many ways to die in Florida.
joe rogan
Dude, the craziest thing that's happening right now in the Everglades is the pythons.
They said that there's been a 90 plus percent decrease in the amount of rabbits, possums, raccoons, deer, like all the major mammals that live in the Florida Everglades are gone.
They've all been killed by pythons!
unidentified
God!
joe rogan
They took a Judas python.
You know what a Judas python is?
They take a python, they put a chip in it so they can track it.
So they have this male python, and they sent him out there to find the females.
And they used him to locate, using the GPS, to locate a 16-foot python.
16-foot female python that was pregnant.
brendan schaub
Game's that match.
joe rogan
Yeah, so he's banging these bitches out there, making them pregnant.
brendan schaub
And these whores are watching.
joe rogan
And these evil fucking snakes.
brendan schaub
Look at that thing.
joe rogan
Is that it?
No.
Snake's boyfriend leads hunters to- Why would they kill it?
They have to kill it, bro.
Why?
brendan schaub
That thing's awesome.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
They're invasive.
They're not supposed to be there.
It had 73 eggs.
And it was more than 17 feet long.
brendan schaub
Can you imagine stumbling across that thing?
joe rogan
No, you're dead.
You're dead.
That thing weighs as much as you do.
You're dead.
brendan schaub
Holy fuck.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's probably a 200-pound snake.
Oh my god, is that it?
Little bitch ass, 140. 140?
I'm getting away from that snake.
brendan schaub
Get the fuck out of my face.
joe rogan
Fuck, I got a knife.
brendan schaub
Speaking of snakes, I'm gonna live.
I gotta pee so hard.
