   2. The Joe Rogan Experience.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night. All day. (rock music) Woo!

   4. BSBrendan Schaub0:15

      That's nice.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      Are we up? Oh. So tell me about that watch. What is that?

   6. BSBrendan Schaub0:19

      (clears throat) This is a Heuer from 1950.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      1950.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub0:21

      So before ... Yeah. So before TAG bought Heuer-

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:25

      Is it TAG or is it Tog?

   10. BSBrendan Schaub0:26

       It depends. My dad always told me TAG.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       Oh, okay.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub0:29

       Might be TAG, though.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Well, it's spelled T-A-G. It could be Tog.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub0:33

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       TAG, Tog.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub0:34

       But before they collabed with them or went into business with them, there was just Heuer. So this is a 1950 Heuer.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       Wow.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub0:41

       That's pretty cool.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       That's an old fucking watch.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub0:43

       Super old, man.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       That's kind of cool.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub0:44

       Definitely haunted.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       Yeah, right?

   24. BSBrendan Schaub0:46

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:46

       There's something cool about that, right?

   26. BSBrendan Schaub0:48

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       Having something that's that old.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub0:49

       Oh, that... And no one else ... you know, you're not gonna see a lot of it. That's why I like shit no one else has.

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       Yeah.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub0:54

       Kind of like cars. You and I are the-
2. 3:34 – 5:19

   Performing comedy during COVID: tested crowds, exposures, and precautions

   1. BSBrendan Schaub3:34

      Have you been getting mu- up much-

   2. JRJoe Rogan3:35

      It's a lucky watch.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub3:35

      ... around here?

   4. JRJoe Rogan3:36

      Yeah. I've been doing, um ... Well, obviously I was doing those shows with Dave till he got the cooties.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub3:41

      And what was that? It was, it was shows here?

   6. JRJoe Rogan3:43

      Stubbs Amphitheater.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub3:44

      Okay.

   8. JRJoe Rogan3:44

      Stubbs has a 400-seat amphitheater. And, uh, so we tested the entire crowd. And then, um, someone in Dave's circle, not related to the show, got COVID and was hanging around with Dave. Got Dave sick, got three or four other people sick. Radio Raheem got sick. Um, uh, Da- th- the photographer's son got sick. I don't know if the photographer got sick. A lot of guys got sick. CK-

   9. BSBrendan Schaub4:09

      Did you and Elon get it?

   10. JRJoe Rogan4:10

       No. No, Elon already had it.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub4:12

       Oh, okay. He has antibodies.

   12. JRJoe Rogan4:13

       Elon had it in the past, and a lot of people were saying that his girlfriend Grimes gave it to Dave. That's not true.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub4:19

       No.

   14. JRJoe Rogan4:19

       It was another guy that gave it to Dave. His girlfriend Grimes had gotten over it already long before, like several days before she got to the show.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub4:27

       You ... Yeah, you ... I don't know. Maybe you have the blood type or you're just built different where you're just ... you're not the guy who's gonna get COVID.

   16. JRJoe Rogan4:33

       I don't know, man. But I was at a show-

   17. BSBrendan Schaub4:36

       You would got it by now.

   18. JRJoe Rogan4:36

       We'll see. I was at a show, um, with, uh, several people that wound up getting COVID. 'Cause I went to this show and, uh, I didn't expect that it was gonna be, like, so COVID-y. (laughs) Everybody was just jammed.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub4:51

       You can feel it.

   20. JRJoe Rogan4:51

       Out here, bro, people don't give a fuck. They just go out. But the thing is like-

   21. BSBrendan Schaub4:56

       Du- you, you should see Florida.

   22. JRJoe Rogan4:57

       Yeah. Oh, I know. It's fucking wild.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub4:57

       Dude, I did a show for New Year's Eve. I walked out and there was ... It was just ... Everyone's together. And I come out, I'm like, "E- do you guys not get the news?"

   24. JRJoe Rogan5:05

       (laughs)

   25. BSBrendan Schaub5:05

       Like, listen, I'm pretty loosey-goosey, but this is ridiculous. Then I see a guy making out with two chicks in the front. I go, "Hey, hold on. Stop. Do you know each other?" They're like, "No." I'm like, "What the fuck are you doing, man?"

   26. JRJoe Rogan5:16

       They're not worried about it.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub5:16

       "What about COVID?"

   28. JRJoe Rogan5:17

       They're not worried about it.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub5:18

       No, they don't care, man.

3. 5:19 – 9:04

   Supplements, immunity talk, and obesity as a major COVID risk factor

   1. JRJoe Rogan5:19

      Do you know about, uh, quercetin and zinc and-

   2. BSBrendan Schaub5:22

      Yeah, yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan5:22

      ... uh, all those-

   4. BSBrendan Schaub5:23

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan5:23

      ... the different me- medic- or different nutrients?

   6. BSBrendan Schaub5:25

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan5:26

      I mean, for people that didn't listen to the Mark Gordon podcast, I'd recommend you listen to it because there's actual peer-reviewed studies on quercetin, which is something called an ionophore, which gets ions into the cells, and then you take that with zinc. There's a much higher absorption rate of zinc. And according to Dr. Gordon, it essentially, like, stops viruses dead in its tracks when you, when you take this on a regular basis.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub5:47

      Even COVID?

   9. JRJoe Rogan5:48

      Yeah. And I'm, I'm just on ... I have not wavered even a little on my vitamins.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub5:52

       Me neither. I st- I stay on it. And listen, I got COVID, right? I was like the canary in the coal mine for comics. 2020, I was the-

   11. JRJoe Rogan5:58

       No, you were there early.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub5:59

       I was the first one.

   13. JRJoe Rogan6:00

       ... yeah. It seems to me like kind of everybody's gonna get it.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub6:04

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan6:04

       At this point in time.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub6:05

       Be cool, man.

   17. JRJoe Rogan6:05

       Yeah.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub6:06

       Be cool.

   19. JRJoe Rogan6:06

       Yeah.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub6:06

       Everybody's gonna get it, be cool.

   21. JRJoe Rogan6:08

       Well, the people, it's like, when you get it, they're like wanna yell at you for being irresponsible and for killing my grandma.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub6:13

       Kevin Hart's so much smarter than me because he got it and then announced six months later like, "Hey, I did have it a few months ago." And I was like-

   23. JRJoe Rogan6:18

       Mm-hmm.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub6:18

       "All right, not a big deal."

   25. JRJoe Rogan6:21

       Yeah, you were like, while you had it, you announced it.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub6:23

       The day I get it like, "Hey, I got COVID." And-

   27. JRJoe Rogan6:26

       Uh-huh.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub6:26

       ... Joey Diaz lit me up.

   29. JRJoe Rogan6:26

       I have a friend who got it and doesn't wa- ... Joey lit you up?

   30. BSBrendan Schaub6:29

       Ugh, lit me up.
4. 9:04 – 11:42

   Tim Dillon appreciation hour (and the Rachel Levine parody clip)

   1. JRJoe Rogan9:04

      This fuckin' ... The new video of him as the, the, the new Health Secretary-

   2. BSBrendan Schaub9:08

      He's so funny.

   3. JRJoe Rogan9:08

      ... the transgender lady from Pennsylvania. (laughs)

   4. BSBrendan Schaub9:10

      He's so f- ... And his, his whole dispute with Airbnb.

   5. JRJoe Rogan9:13

      Yes.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub9:15

      I told him-

   7. JRJoe Rogan9:15

      He banned him from the app.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub9:16

      Yeah. (laughs) I told him, like, "Dude, I don't know if I'd make, like, threats to the managers."

   9. JRJoe Rogan9:20

      (laughs)

   10. BSBrendan Schaub9:20

       Stuff happens, Brendan.

   11. JRJoe Rogan9:22

       He doesn't-

   12. BSBrendan Schaub9:22

       You know, stuff happens.

   13. JRJoe Rogan9:23

       ... give a fuck. He does not give a fuck.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub9:24

       'Cause people die all the time. (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan9:26

       (laughs)

   16. BSBrendan Schaub9:26

       Stuff happens.

   17. JRJoe Rogan9:27

       He does not give a fuck.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub9:29

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan9:29

       Play that. Please play that.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub9:31

       (laughs)

   21. NANarrator9:33

       My name is Rachel Levine. I'm the Biden Administration's new Secretary of COVID. And many young people aren't wearing their masks because they don't think it's lit.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub9:41

       (laughs)

   23. NANarrator9:41

       But I'm telling you right now, you can turn up and have a great party even with your masks on. And I'm no stranger to partying. I love jellies and buttons and black beauties, Abyssinian tea, candy, Tranx, circles, erasers, Wolfies, jellies, Moggies, Valleys, eggs, school bus. I love a little Aunt Nora, french fries, Liquid X, blind squid, cat Valium, green jack-

   24. BSBrendan Schaub10:03

       (laughs)

   25. NANarrator10:04

       ... Special K, super acid, African salad, herbal speedball-

   26. BSBrendan Schaub10:07

       (laughs)

   27. NANarrator10:07

       ... electric Kool-Aid, sugar cube, purple haze, yellow sunshine-

   28. BSBrendan Schaub10:10

       Just look at him with that fucking lid down.

   29. JRJoe Rogan10:12

       (laughs)

   30. NANarrator10:12

       ... Alice Bloomers, cat, cow patties, fungus, Twizzys, yellow fever, velvet, Skittles-
5. 11:42 – 21:03

   GameStop/WallStreetBets: short squeeze, media panic, and ‘regulation’ hypocrisy

   1. BSBrendan Schaub11:42

      I took all of January off.

   2. JRJoe Rogan11:44

      ... anyone defending institutional Wall Street right now got an envelope with photos of themselves at Jeffrey Epstein's birthday? (laughs) So what's ... What Jamie's, uh, just pulled up with that and what Tim was talking about is this insane situation that's happening. It started out with GameStop on the ... with, with these-... these intelligent vipers from Reddit decided they were gonna figure out, well, what- what they ... Here's the thing. Wall Street speculation and these people that have been ... These hedge fund guys, they've been manipulating the stock market in a very similar way forever.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub12:18

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan12:18

      But these guys on Reddit decided to get together collectively and ... What is it called? The- the sub- subreddit called WallStreetBets?

   5. BSBrendan Schaub12:24

      WallStreetBets, yep.

   6. JRJoe Rogan12:25

      So WallStreetBets decided that these hedge funds were shorting GameStop, right? So they decided, "We're gonna buy GameStop. We're gonna fuck their whole system up."

   7. BSBrendan Schaub12:38

      Just to boost GameStop's stock.

   8. JRJoe Rogan12:39

      Yeah. Well, just to see if they could-

   9. BSBrendan Schaub12:41

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan12:41

       ... and just the g-

   11. BSBrendan Schaub12:42

       (clears throat)

   12. JRJoe Rogan12:42

       It's fun. It's fun. So they- a bunch of people bought GameStop stock. GameStop stock rose higher than it's ever risen in the entire history of the company.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub12:53

       Hilarious.

   14. JRJoe Rogan12:53

       I think it was up 11,000%. Is that the case?

   15. NANarrator12:57

       Uh, the actual percentage, yeah, I don't know.

   16. JRJoe Rogan13:00

       Oh, I might have made that number up.

   17. NANarrator13:01

       I, uh-

   18. BSBrendan Schaub13:01

       Sounded good though, didn't it?

   19. NANarrator13:02

       Yeah. I mean-

   20. JRJoe Rogan13:03

       Yeah. 11,000% (laughs)

   21. BSBrendan Schaub13:04

       Now it's 11,000% (laughs)

   22. NANarrator13:04

       It had never been higher than 50, 60 bucks.

   23. JRJoe Rogan13:07

       Mm-hmm.

   24. NANarrator13:08

       And it shot up to $300 to $400 at some point yesterday.

   25. JRJoe Rogan13:11

       Which is crazy.

   26. NANarrator13:12

       Even today a little bit, but just more so-

   27. JRJoe Rogan13:14

       Which is ... It's cra- That's a crazy jump for no reason, and it was all because of these guys. So this is where it gets complicated, because now regulators ... Do me a favor and go to Saagar, uh, his, uh, Instagram page, 'cause, uh, he gave me permission to play this today. Because he, he, t- talks about how this is really exposing the actual corruption in the stock market and real market manipulation-

   28. BSBrendan Schaub13:41

       Jesus.

   29. JRJoe Rogan13:41

       ... because they're trying to do something about the fact that these Wall Street guys are getting fucked over. And, like, hedge funds have lost billions of dollars-

   30. BSBrendan Schaub13:49

       Mm-hmm.
6. 21:03 – 23:25

   Studio chaos + whiskey talk: missing roaches, Buffalo Trace barrel, and celebrity spirits

   1. BSBrendan Schaub21:03

      Billionaire's gonna billionaire, man.

   2. JRJoe Rogan21:05

      This fucking-

   3. BSBrendan Schaub21:05

      Can I have some more?

   4. JRJoe Rogan21:06

      Yeah. What, what the mark- First of all, this is the, the great roach crisis of, uh, 2021 now 'cause the, another one's missing. Who, who's cleaning this place? The door was locked. I don't know.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub21:18

      Don't take your roach.

   6. JRJoe Rogan21:19

      There's no roach.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub21:21

      Never trust a man with a ponytail.

   8. JRJoe Rogan21:23

      I don't need them.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub21:23

      That's what my dad always said.

   10. JRJoe Rogan21:23

       Oh, he, he's got an unlimited supply of weed. I'm good. (laughs) I don't even like

   11. BSBrendan Schaub21:28

       What is this?

   12. JRJoe Rogan21:29

       Buffalo Trace. Buffalo Trace is doing a promotion with Fight for the Forgotten to raise money.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub21:35

       Oh, sick.

   14. JRJoe Rogan21:35

       And they're making me a whole barrel of whiskey. And so I got to pick out the various-

   15. BSBrendan Schaub21:42

       Now, I don't drink all your shit.

   16. JRJoe Rogan21:42

       Oh, we got a lot of them. Don't, don't-

   17. BSBrendan Schaub21:43

       Okay.

   18. JRJoe Rogan21:43

       We got five bottles over there.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub21:45

       Say less.

   20. JRJoe Rogan21:45

       Yeah. Grab a couple more of those little bo- bottle swallows.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub21:48

       Fantastic.

   22. JRJoe Rogan21:48

       But we got... Dude, he was like, "Tell me which one you like." And we drank all of them-

   23. BSBrendan Schaub21:53

       All of them?

   24. JRJoe Rogan21:53

       ... and I'm like, "I don't-"

   25. BSBrendan Schaub21:54

       All of them?

   26. JRJoe Rogan21:55

       I don't notice the difference. I'm not... I don't know. I, I g- You'd have to, like, drink some fucking mouth cleaner in between to be able to tell the difference between the-

   27. BSBrendan Schaub22:04

       It's tough.

   28. JRJoe Rogan22:05

       It's-

   29. BSBrendan Schaub22:05

       I went through the same process. I got my own whiskey drop and in March.

   30. JRJoe Rogan22:08

       Oh, shameless plug.
7. 23:25 – 26:38

   Leaving LA, guns in Texas, and helicopter hog-hunting detours

   1. BSBrendan Schaub23:25

      Oh, you know who I saw at the airport? Bas Rutten.

   2. JRJoe Rogan23:27

      Yeah, you told me he was jacked.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub23:28

      Jacked.

   4. JRJoe Rogan23:29

      But is his arm okay now? Because he had that, like, one arm that was all fucked up from his neck injury.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub23:32

      I don't know. He was just sitting down and I was like, "What are you doing?" His neck was, like, fucking jacked.

   6. JRJoe Rogan23:38

      Really?

   7. BSBrendan Schaub23:38

      And he was looking at, uh... He's moving out of LA.

   8. JRJoe Rogan23:41

      Oh.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub23:41

      He was coming here, Idaho, and I think he was looking in Nashville.

   10. JRJoe Rogan23:45

       Everybody's moving out of LA.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub23:46

       Except for your boy. Hold it down.

   12. JRJoe Rogan23:48

       You staying?

   13. BSBrendan Schaub23:48

       Well, ju- I'm, I'm giving it a year.

   14. JRJoe Rogan23:50

       A whole year?

   15. BSBrendan Schaub23:51

       Well, I'm... Well...

   16. JRJoe Rogan23:52

       How many guns you got?

   17. BSBrendan Schaub23:53

       A bunch.

   18. JRJoe Rogan23:54

       You're gonna need them.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub23:55

       Yeah. AR-15, son.

   20. JRJoe Rogan23:57

       (laughs)

   21. BSBrendan Schaub23:57

       I got them gnarly guns.

   22. JRJoe Rogan23:58

       You get it before Biden comes to take it away. "All you need is a double-barrel shotgun. I told my wife Jill."

   23. BSBrendan Schaub24:04

       No.

   24. JRJoe Rogan24:04

       "You go out, you, you... If someone's outside, you shoot one off into the air, like..."

   25. BSBrendan Schaub24:08

       Get the fuck out of here. No, I'll call Tim Kennedy. He'll save me in a helicopter.

   26. JRJoe Rogan24:12

       (laughs)

   27. BSBrendan Schaub24:13

       (laughs) In a fucking helicopter? (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan24:15

       Yeah, when I asked Tim Kennedy how far... He was telling me about this ranch. He's like, "Well, it's 55 minutes driving or 20 minutes by helicopter."

   29. BSBrendan Schaub24:22

       Oh, well, I don't have a helicopter, dude.

   30. JRJoe Rogan24:23

       He's got a helicopter. He takes a helicopter everywhere.

   California politics: Newsom recall, restaurant shutdowns, and corruption claims

   1. BSBrendan Schaub26:38

      Hopefully Newsom doesn't fuck up-

   2. JRJoe Rogan26:40

      Oh, he's gonna fuck it up.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub26:41

      ... even more. He's the worst.

   4. JRJoe Rogan26:41

      I think they're going to get rid of him.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub26:42

      Oh, they are.

   6. JRJoe Rogan26:43

      I think that Google guy is gonna.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub26:44

      Yeah, I can't wait.

   8. JRJoe Rogan26:45

      That billionaire tech guy who wants to run.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub26:47

      I can't wait, I can't wait.

   10. JRJoe Rogan26:48

       Yeah, I boosted his tweet.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub26:50

       Fuck yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan26:50

       He said he's gonna... He said, "Recall Gavin Newsom. I'm running for governor of California." How do you pronounce his name, Jamie?

   13. NANarrator26:54

       Chem- Chamath.

   14. JRJoe Rogan26:55

       Say it.

   15. NANarrator26:55

       I think it's Chamath. Chamoth or Chamath, I'm not-

   16. JRJoe Rogan26:57

       What is his, uh, full name?

   17. BSBrendan Schaub26:59

       I'll take anybody at this point over Newsom.

   18. NANarrator27:01

       I'm not sure if it's full or first name.

   19. JRJoe Rogan27:01

       Yeah, it's a, it's a complicated name but, uh-

   20. BSBrendan Schaub27:03

       (clears throat)

   21. JRJoe Rogan27:03

       ... he knows business and that's what this goddamn country, this state particular, California in particular, needs.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub27:09

       Okay.

   23. JRJoe Rogan27:10

       How do you say that?

   24. BSBrendan Schaub27:11

       Sri Lankan.

   25. JRJoe Rogan27:12

       Palihapitiya.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub27:15

       Executive at Facebook. That's trouble.

   27. JRJoe Rogan27:17

       Chamath. Yeah, well, he knows his shit.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub27:19

       Board member of the Golden State Warriors, dig that.

   29. JRJoe Rogan27:22

       Yeah. Big trouble for Newsom.

   30. NANarrator27:24

       He was on CNBC talking about this stuff.
9. 39:17 – 45:57

   Comedy careers after Hollywood: building scenes, YouTube specials, and pandemic hustle

   1. BSBrendan Schaub39:17

      And if you can build a comedy scene, which I believe in you, and that you'll do ...

   2. JRJoe Rogan39:21

      I got plans.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub39:22

      Yeah, I know you do. Then there- then there's a huge pro here. 'Cause that's kind of the one con right now.

   4. JRJoe Rogan39:27

      Yeah. We don't-

   5. BSBrendan Schaub39:28

      'Cause LA, I can do six spots in a night.

   6. JRJoe Rogan39:30

      Still?

   7. BSBrendan Schaub39:31

      Well, no, not ... Well, no, not right now.

   8. JRJoe Rogan39:33

      Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub39:33

      Not until when it opens up.

   10. JRJoe Rogan39:34

       Yeah. Well, when it opens up here, by the time things open up, we got plans, bro. Don't worry.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub39:39

       Yeah, I know you do. You're popping.

   12. JRJoe Rogan39:39

       We're shifting. We're shifting all the ... There's no n- ... Here, the thing is, the reason why we were in LA is 'cause we were hoping to be a part of the Hollywood system. The Hollywood system has more holes in it than the restaurant industry. Like, that system has been falling apart for a long time.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub39:56

       Yes.

   14. JRJoe Rogan39:56

       In terms of like providing comedians jobs. Like, you get a few jobs, but the real jobs are on the internet. That's the real jobs. The real jobs are the jobs you create yourself, guys like Tim Dillon, guys like you-

   15. BSBrendan Schaub40:06

       Correct.

   16. JRJoe Rogan40:06

       ... guys like me. Like, what we've done through podcasts and YouTube and now Spotify, is you- you don't need to be in a central location.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub40:15

       No.

   18. JRJoe Rogan40:16

       You just need the support of other comics and guests, and- and you need to do your best and put on a good show. And it goes to the whole world. It doesn't have to be centrally located in Los Angeles.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub40:26

       No.

   20. JRJoe Rogan40:26

       It just doesn't have to be anymore.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub40:27

       No. Yeah, my- my- my thing is, is ... And again, I'm- I'm sure it's gonna get better here, especially when- if you open up a club and do that stuff. But once LA does open up and those- those clubs are hopefully still around, and I can do six to seven spots a night. You know, like, you know, you've been in LA for how long, Joe, 30 years?

   22. JRJoe Rogan40:45

       Close.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub40:45

       You had that little stint in Denver and came back.

   24. JRJoe Rogan40:47

       Yeah.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub40:47

       But it's like you've been there forever, man.

   26. JRJoe Rogan40:49

       Yeah.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub40:49

       Like, you're ... Like, you're older. You're set, dude. You know what I'm saying? Like, you're- you're a monster, so y- you can come out here and do that. I gotta hustle, dude.

   28. JRJoe Rogan40:56

       Oh, I get it.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub40:57

       I gotta fucking hustle.

   30. JRJoe Rogan40:58

       No, I get it.
10. 45:57 – 1:03:21

    UFC deep dive: Kattar–Holloway beating, title pathways, and GOAT debates

    1. BSBrendan Schaub45:57

       (inhales) Again, it goes back to, you know, in major sports with the UFC. When everyone was scared and shut down, they went, "Nah, we're gonna do it in this island in fucking Abu Dhabi."

    2. JRJoe Rogan46:06

       I know, isn't that crazy?

    3. BSBrendan Schaub46:06

       Everyone gave them so much shit, but they did it and nobody got hurt. I mean, some fighters got punched in the face, but I'm saying no one got hurt from COVID.

    4. JRJoe Rogan46:13

       (laughs) Yeah.

    5. BSBrendan Schaub46:13

       Everything's all good.

    6. JRJoe Rogan46:14

       Isn't it funny?

    7. BSBrendan Schaub46:14

       They were booming.

    8. JRJoe Rogan46:15

       They're worried about getting hurt from COVID. Meanwhile, they're getting shins bounced off their fucking temples. (laughs)

    9. BSBrendan Schaub46:20

       But you, but you're, they're like, "What about the fighters?" W- What... You're talking about the most elite athletes on the planet who are in crazy shape.

    10. JRJoe Rogan46:27

        You think that any of them-

    11. BSBrendan Schaub46:28

        Dude.

    12. JRJoe Rogan46:28

        Like, every one of them that got COVID were like, "Yeah, I kind of think I had a headache." (laughs)

    13. BSBrendan Schaub46:32

        Yeah, "I'm sorry, I've had worse allergy attacks."

    14. JRJoe Rogan46:34

        Well, like, w- And not only that, like, what, what was Calvin Katter's next day after the Max Holloway fight?

    15. BSBrendan Schaub46:41

        Probably worse than anything-

    16. JRJoe Rogan46:43

        ... anyone's ever experienced, other than dying from COVID.

    17. BSBrendan Schaub46:46

        Yes, yes.

    18. JRJoe Rogan46:46

        Yeah, no doubt.

    19. BSBrendan Schaub46:47

        Yeah.

    20. JRJoe Rogan46:47

        I mean, uh, Jon Anik-

    21. BSBrendan Schaub46:48

        They should have thrown in the towel on that.

    22. JRJoe Rogan46:50

        Well, yeah.

    23. BSBrendan Schaub46:51

        My thing is, though, that, like-

    24. JRJoe Rogan46:52

        Yeah.

    25. BSBrendan Schaub46:52

        ... you, you can blame... I think... Uh, and listen, you know I love you, Herb Dean. You could have blamed Herb there, because like, dude, you know that kid. Come on. But then if you expect a corner of four Boston dudes to throw in the towel during a fucking cage fight, never mind.

    26. JRJoe Rogan47:05

        Never happening.

    27. BSBrendan Schaub47:05

        It's never happening.

    28. JRJoe Rogan47:06

        Never happening.

    29. BSBrendan Schaub47:06

        Never.

    30. JRJoe Rogan47:07

        If he was throwing hammer fists off his back-

    YouTubers in combat sports: Jake Paul vs Ben Askren and the limits of late skill-building

    1. BSBrendan Schaub1:03:21

       And see, that's where I'm at. I'd love to get your opinion on this, with, like, the Jake Paul and Ben Askren.

    2. JRJoe Rogan1:03:27

       (laughs) Okay. This is my-

    3. BSBrendan Schaub1:03:29

       'Cause I t- I take some offense to it, 'cause all my friends, when that got announced went, "Oh, Ben's getting knocked out." And I was like, "What?" Like, that's, that's weird to say, 'cause l- let me just, let's say you don't know who Jake Paul or Ben Askren is.

    4. JRJoe Rogan1:03:43

       Uh-huh.

    5. BSBrendan Schaub1:03:43

       And I give you their resumes.

    6. JRJoe Rogan1:03:44

       Okay.

    7. BSBrendan Schaub1:03:45

       Let me go through the resumes.

    8. JRJoe Rogan1:03:46

       Okay, let's go through the resumes.

    9. BSBrendan Schaub1:03:46

       So let's go through this ki- th- uh, Fighter A.

        He was an Olympian wrestler.

    12. JRJoe Rogan1:03:52

        Yes.

    13. BSBrendan Schaub1:03:52

        He was a national, two-time national champion wrestler.

    14. JRJoe Rogan1:03:55

        Mm-hmm.

    15. BSBrendan Schaub1:03:55

        He won the Heisman in college Division I wrestling.

    16. JRJoe Rogan1:03:57

        Hold on. Are they wrestling?

    17. BSBrendan Schaub1:03:58

        They're not wrestling.

    18. JRJoe Rogan1:03:59

        They're not?

    19. BSBrendan Schaub1:03:59

        Oh, I'm g- I'm glad you asked that.

    20. JRJoe Rogan1:04:00

        Okay.

    21. BSBrendan Schaub1:04:01

        So that, that Fighter A that has all those wrestling accolades-

    22. JRJoe Rogan1:04:04

        Yes.

    23. BSBrendan Schaub1:04:04

        ... some ... He's a Hall of Famer. So he fought in a steel cage in one championship, big organization.

    24. JRJoe Rogan1:04:10

        Yeah.

    25. BSBrendan Schaub1:04:10

        He was world champion there.

    26. JRJoe Rogan1:04:11

        Was he a striker?

    27. BSBrendan Schaub1:04:12

        He wasn't, but he still won.

    28. JRJoe Rogan1:04:13

        Oh, did he do any striking at all?

    29. BSBrendan Schaub1:04:15

        Good question though. No, good question.

    30. JRJoe Rogan1:04:16

        He didn't really stand up much, right?
