Joe Rogan Experience #706 - Brendan Schaub & Fight Companion ? (Part 2)

Do-do-do-do.
I'm not at that clock at all.
It's dope, right?
We're live?
We're back.
Part two, folks.
If you hated part one, this one's going to be worse.
Worse, worse, worse.
Fucking, I fucking hate this show.
You know what my favorite is when people go, fucking shows change, man.
You used to, you used to fucking be more open-minded.
Yeah, people change.
What do you want me to do, man?
I changed.
I changed over five years.
Everyone changed.
I'm not into fucking Legos and video games, man.
I grew up.
I definitely don't think I'm less open-minded, though.
I'm definitely less tolerant for stupid shit, though.
I just think I've heard it too many times now.
I'm like, stop.
Stop.
It's not doing anybody any good.
Stop.
Yeah, you cut out the bullshit.
Well, I cut out conspiracy bullshit and religious bullshit.
It's like, and it doesn't mean that I, I don't know, I'm not willing to
consider people's points of view,
but certain things just at a certain point in time, you can't keep refreshing
them over and over and
and over again.
You know, when it gets to a certain point in time, like, for instance, like,
like UFOs.
Do I think the UFOs are real?
It's totally possible.
If we can put a satellite around the Earth, it's very possible that some
advanced life form can send a spaceship here from another galaxy.
Have I seen anything that makes me believe that it's actually hell proof?
No.
So when you don't share that opinion, when you're absolutely convinced that the
government is hiding details and like, okay, what makes you really want to
believe this?
Because you're not saying this based on some hardcore shit.
Like, I know that if you take this plastic and you put it over fire.
Whoops.
Did I fuck that up?
If you take this plastic.
How did I do that?
Exit.
Take this plastic.
Oh, what the fuck, you cunt.
Watch now.
Jesus Christ.
If you take this plastic and put it over fire, right?
What are they doing?
They're playing this again?
What are they doing here?
I didn't start this from the beginning, did I?
No.
No, it's a filler fight.
They're showing this fight again?
The old filler fight.
Well, we watched it on.
Oh, we already watched this fight.
We watched it on the video.
Was this on the prelims for the, um, was it?
Okay.
So I guess we watched this again.
Can you do?
Maybe I'm wrong.
Is this a tournament?
It's not a tournament.
Oh, it is a tournament.
It's the heavyweight tournament.
Oh, that's right.
So this guy won early.
He's the number one ranked heavyweight.
Oh, shake it, dog.
Oh, shit.
Look at that little dance moves.
Oh, look at him go.
Oh, damn.
Look at him.
He's feeling good.
He's feeling it.
Look at his trainer in the back.
Awkward.
Awkward.
Yeah.
I wonder what music he's dancing to.
The white people in Denver.
Let me guess how bad this song is.
Probably the worst song ever.
Let's hear it.
What song is it?
I want to hear the song.
Sounds like.
I want to hear Quadros.
Sounds like some Rick Ross.
Really?
By the way, when I called Quadros Skeletor, I was just joking.
He does look like him, though.
A little bit.
I'm a little high.
I got goofy.
I'm not, but he does look like Skeletor.
He's very knowledgeable, though.
Knows a lot of shit about kickboxing.
Yeah, great, man.
Still looks like Skeletor.
How dare you.
How dare you.
How dare you confirm what he said.
He and Eddie Bravo had some serious beef back in the day.
What?
Yeah.
Over what?
Probably doesn't want to talk about it.
I probably shouldn't have been talking about it.
I'll tell you afterwards.
Was it legit beef, though?
It's horse shit.
It's all stupidity.
Don't let Eddie fucking get a hold of you.
Stupidity.
No, no, no, no.
Not like that.
Oh, it didn't come to that?
It was like gossip.
Yeah, I'll tell you that.
I'm down for that.
You'll definitely tell me how to do it.
Hey, people change.
People grow, and they move on.
True that.
Speaking of growing and moving on, what?
Segway!
In between the fight, you might have mentioned something that you might have
wanted to.
Yeah, I'd rather it come from me first, especially on this platform, than hear
it from anyone else.
Things have just got too crazy, man.
It's like the perfect storm, and the UFC wanted me to sign the license deal
with Reebok and the random testing, the VADA testing, where the fuck it is.
And really, I was just going to write this out, and I wanted to do one more
fight, but with the fighter and the kid, how crazy it's become, and I never
thought it'd become this, and the live shows, and now we're going on tour, and
I have this other gig I got on a big network that I can't talk about until it's
done, and the merchandise and all this stuff.
It just, I got to step away from the game, man.
I got to step away from the UFC for right now.
You know what I love about fighting?
We were talking about this, that you could just say, I'm going to retire.
And then you could say, like, in a week from now, I'm unretired.
And then a week later, you could say, retired again.
You could, yeah.
Yeah, you could go back and forth for sure, but.
Like, think about Sugar Ray Leonard.
How many times does a coal miner retire?
Usually once.
Just once, yeah.
Sugar Ray Leonard retired like a half a dozen fucking times.
And I get it with fighters, man, but for me, you know, and I talk to my family
and close friends, and you were one of them, and Callan, and, you know, my dad,
and, you know, going through it, man.
And it just, do I want one more?
Fuck yes, man.
But it just, it doesn't make sense.
I can't see myself, and when it comes down to this, I can't see myself in a
fucking Reebok kit walking out to that octagon.
I can't see myself being like, you know what?
Cool, man.
Yeah, that's what I'm worth.
I'm worth 10 grand to you guys.
I'm going to do this, you know?
And I have other opportunities, and everything I have, and people think I'm
this hater on the UFC or whatever, I owe it to the UFC, man.
I'll always be indebted to the UFC.
People think I have a problem with Dana White.
I definitely don't.
If Dana was in trouble and texted me right now and said, hey, Shaub, I wish you'd
quit talking shit about Reebok or I need help, you got it, man.
Cool.
Done.
I'll always be a supporter of the UFC, whatever they need, but for right now, I
got to take a step away and focus on this crazy frickin' entertainment podcast
career I got going on, man.
I'm so blessed.
And you are, and I think that there's moments like that where, like, necessity
becomes the mother of invention, like necessity to figure out another way to
generate income because the $100,000 you were making from sponsorships,
which is 100% real and legit and certified and authenticated, proven.
That's a lot of goddamn money you're missing out on every time you would
compete.
And so because of that, it makes you concentrate and put even more effort into
your podcast and into your merch set, and then look how everything's going.
I mean, it's insane how much money you guys are making, and more important, it's
insane how many people you guys are entertaining and how many people you guys
are reaching.
It's insane.
When I did that live show the other night, dude, I thought Calen and our agent
were honeydicking me, like this thing's selling out.
And I got on stage with that mic.
I was like, oh, man, this is what I'm going to do.
I love this.
What?
What?
This is insane, man.
Yeah.
Oh, now they want to do this tour, and the things are selling out.
It'd be tough for me to say, no, you know what, let me go fight some monster
who's been training full-time, not telling dick jokes.
You know what I'm saying?
And selling fucking big brown shirts full-time.
Let me go fight that guy.
I wouldn't do the game of disservice.
You know what I'm saying?
I wouldn't do that.
So unless I could focus on it full-time, there's just no way.
And signing this Reebok deal, it's not going to happen, man.
Yeah, I completely understand where you're coming from, and I completely
understand the idea that if you're not 100% focused on fighting, it's just not
something you should do.
I've always told people that fighting should be a singular pursuit.
I think it's unlike any other pursuit where if you're going to do it, you have
to make sure that all your eggs are in that one basket.
I really don't think you could have one foot in the game, one foot out of the
game.
I think it's real dangerous to do that with fighting.
And not be good.
Yeah, because you're going to fight some fucking guy who's all-in.
And those all-in murderers, they're out there.
Those all-in guys, you know.
You run into a Rumble Johnson who's all-in.
100%, man, with no other option.
And listen, to me, and people might beg to differ, I feel like I've won, man.
I have no brain trauma that I know of.
And my body's in good shape.
I have this insane career right now with podcasts and live shows and this other
gig I get going on with TV.
And I feel like I've won.
And honestly, I owe it to the UFC, man.
I'm indebted to them forever.
And, you know, I'll always still watch every fight and who knows what happens
in the future.
But for right now, there's no way.
They could offer me anybody.
And there's no way.
There's no way I could put all this on hold and be like, yeah, let me go take
this fight.
Well, it would be hard because all this has been an investment in your time,
and it's also been paying off.
And it also is growing, like, considerably.
For people who don't know, like, your numbers.
Like, I know where you guys were a year ago and two years ago, and I know where
you are now.
And it's this crazy exponential thing where every month it comes up and up and
up and up and up.
And it's because it's good.
And you guys got a weird dynamic, you know.
Callen's such a fucking goofball.
Goofball.
And, you know, it's like he's like a built-in joke all the time.
Like, he'll always say something ridiculous.
And you two together are funny.
Like, it's a funny group.
It's a funny grouping.
It's interesting.
And the thing is, what I'm doing, listen, man, my two advisors are Joe Rogan
and Brian Callen.
What?
What the fuck?
I got the Mount Rushmore, you know, guys who have done shit who are saying.
For sure listen to me and not him.
No.
Listen to me right now.
Real quick.
Hey, that's me being friendly to Callen, all right?
That's me being friendly to Callen.
But the thing is, man, it's...
Brian, we'll give you some fucking goddamn horrible advice.
I'd be selling used electronics, fighting a kid used electronics.
If Callen was advising this fucking thing.
He wanted to open a pawn store.
That's a different story.
A what store?
A pawn store.
A pawn?
Like a pawn.
Like a pawn.
Like a fucking pawn stars, you know what I'm saying?
Oh, pawn.
Yeah.
For real?
For real.
Wait a minute.
This was a horrible idea he had.
I thought you said a pawn.
Like, he wants to open up koi pawns?
Like, okay.
Fighting kids pawns?
That's really a weird way of looking at things.
Maybe people like pawns.
No, you wanted to sell...
Damn, these guys are going off, dude.
Oh, homeboy got blasted.
This fight is fucking crazy.
But yeah, so long story short, I'm stepping away from the game, man.
There's going to be no Shaub Reebok kits out there.
I'm not finding one anytime soon.
Did they ever make a Shaub Reebok kit?
Could I get one like as like a...
A collector's item?
I think they did for like a week.
And then I came out and just talked all this shit.
And they're like, oh shit, pull that shit down.
Pull that shit down right now.
Did anybody buy one?
Do you get any money from those?
Probably like 14 cents or some shit.
I don't know the deal.
But sure as fuck, not as much as selling my own shit.
Oh, well, no.
Because then you get all of it.
We just released shirts and I made, you know, I'm not going to talk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A little bit of money.
You're doing good.
I'm doing good.
Everything's very good here.
I'm doing good.
Everything's nice.
There's no need to be struggling.
Nah, there's no one struggling.
I saw more shirts than Reebok kits.
Well, here's the reality.
You guy
