JRE MMA Show #84 with Brendan Schaub

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   (sipping) There's a lot…

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:10

      (sipping) There's a lot of shit on this table.

   2. BSBrendan Schaub0:12

      Yeah. This, this table's ridiculous. I'm a mess and m- this table's reflecting of the busyness of my life right now. I need to take some time and clean this fucking table. But the thing is, man, people keep bringing me shit, like Paul Stamet-

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:23

      But it's all cool shit.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub0:24

      Paul, I love you buddy, but you gave me a mushroom hat. This hat is made out of-

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:27

      Please put that on. (laughs)

   6. BSBrendan Schaub0:28

      Yes, I'll put this on. (laughs) Wait, I don't know which ... Is this the way to wear it?

   7. NANarrator0:32

      Yeah.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub0:32

      Like this way?

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:33

      Yeah, I think so. (laughs) Let me ...

   10. NANarrator0:35

       Yep.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       (laughs) That's fucking great.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub0:37

       So people keep giving me cool shit.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       Yeah. You also g-

   14. BSBrendan Schaub0:39

       They also gave me this mushroom. It's a dried mushroom. People give me all this cool shit and so I go, "Oh thank you." And then I don't know where to put it.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:46

       You set it down.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub0:47

       I got, uh, Dan Aykroyd's vodka in the corner there, a cool skull vodka thing.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       Got it. I've never seen-

   18. BSBrendan Schaub0:52

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:52

       ... someone push vodka so hard on a podcast. (laughs)

   20. BSBrendan Schaub0:54

       Bro, he goes hard in the paint with his vodka sales.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:56

       Great promotion. (laughs)

   22. BSBrendan Schaub0:57

       It's very smooth and it's Dan Aykroyd, so you're like, "I'll buy it just to l- I wanna hear you talk."

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       The Blues Brother? I'm in, dude.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub1:03

       Dude, come on, man.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       I bought it. I bought it.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub1:04

       He was ... He was a cone head. I mean, he's, he's one of the original Saturday Night Live slayers, like, the real OG.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:12

       Oh, yeah.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub1:12

       One of The Blues Brothers!

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:14

       Blues Brother.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub1:15

       Yeah. Hey man, we started this podcast off talking, like, off the record and I, I thought it was probably good for everybody here, like, when ... I'm so happy you're not fighting, you know?
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   It's entertaining, though. …

   1. BSBrendan Schaub15:00

      uh... They're having a lot of fun together.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:01

      It's entertaining, though.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub15:01

      Yeah, they're having a lot of fun. But, uh, listen, ultimately I think it's good for everybody. I think that's... That, that little feud between Izzy and Jon Jones, first of all, it elevates-

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:10

      It's fantastic.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub15:10

      ... Izzy because all these people that didn't know who he was, like, "Why is Jon Jones talking shit to... Oh, look at this motherfu- Holy shit-"

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:17

      "He's bad."

   7. BSBrendan Schaub15:17

      "... he's good." And then they watch his fights and go, "This is why Jon Jones is talking shit to him, 'cause he starched Robert Whittaker, basically the end of the first round, the fight was over."

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:25

      Over.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub15:25

      I mean, Robert Whittaker was Fucks-ville and then he-

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       And he's, and he stops good on the mic.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub15:28

       ... he stops good on the second. Dude, he's good.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:29

       And his, and his social media, he's, he's lighting him up there.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub15:31

       He's good everywhere. He's good everywhere.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       How about this?

   15. BSBrendan Schaub15:33

       And he's a great guy.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:34

       The best. I fucking love him.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub15:35

       He's a really great guy.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       Love him. Love him.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub15:37

       And honest as fuck, dude.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:38

       You know he bought a McLaren 720S?

   21. BSBrendan Schaub15:40

       Yes, he did.

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:40

       When he told me that I went, "Dude."

   23. BSBrendan Schaub15:42

       Yes, he did.

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:42

       I gave him a hug. I was so excited for him. I thought it was a car guy. He goes, "I gotta be honest, man, I just bought it 'cause it looked like this anime character." I went...

   25. BSBrendan Schaub15:48

       (screams) He's in the anime.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:49

       "All right, we got the right car."

   27. BSBrendan Schaub15:51

       D- is it on the right side? I... When I know a car is awesome, but it's got a steering wheel on the wrong side, I'm like, "Ugh."

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:56

       I know.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub15:57

       "Get that thing away from me."

   30. JRJoe Rogan15:58

       Like, "Goddam, what are you doing, dude?"
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Well, he's lost his…

   1. BSBrendan Schaub30:00

      fighting now. He's so calm and relaxed in there.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:03

      Well, he's lost his last two, but-

   3. BSBrendan Schaub30:04

      Yeah, but-

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:04

      ... they were to the top, you know, top of the heap.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub30:07

      Yeah. I mean, he fought Gaethje who I think is-

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:09

      Nightmare matchup.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub30:09

      ... the scariest fucking guy in the division right now. He scares me because Gaethje's like... He's...It's like he's on a suicide mission. It's like either he's gonna go or you're gonna go, and a lot of people say that, but they don't really mean it.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:24

      Agree.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub30:24

      He fucking means it.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:26

       He meant it.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub30:26

       And he's backed off at that a hair, so he still controlled wildness.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:32

       If you say he's a brawler, he does not like it.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub30:34

       I don't think he necessarily is.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:36

       He's not.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub30:36

       I think what he is, though, he's a, just, he's wild, but it's intelligent pressure.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:40

       It's controlled chaos.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub30:41

       Yes. It's beat-

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       And he-

   19. BSBrendan Schaub30:42

       ... better than ever.

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:43

       And he has a great chin.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub30:44

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:44

       Phenomenal wrestling, knockout power.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub30:46

       Having those fights where it didn't go his way because of the chaos, I think is just making him be just a little bit more calculated.

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       Agreed.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub30:53

       Just a little bit, and that's all he needs.

   26. JRJoe Rogan30:54

       More and more cerebral.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub30:55

       Dude, when he fucked up Barboza, I was like, "Jesus."

   28. JRJoe Rogan30:58

       Jesus Christ.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub30:58

       Who does that to Barboza?

   30. JRJoe Rogan30:59

       Here's the thing though, 'cause I, I thought they were... Gaethje's kinda left out in the cold with all these match-ups being announced with Khabib, Tony, Conor, Cowboy. Khabib's kinda left out where he's just like, "All right, what the fuck do we do now, man?"
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   I love... Listen- …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      Nick Diaz.

   2. BSBrendan Schaub45:01

      I love... Listen-

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:01

      And Nick Diaz going, "You beat my little brother."

   4. BSBrendan Schaub45:04

      ... I would prefer... Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:04

      That's the most I've ever related to the Diaz brothers when he goes, "Dude, you beat my little brother?" 'Cause I have an older brother. I was like, "Oh hell yeah, get him, Nick."

   6. BSBrendan Schaub45:10

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:10

      "I'm in now, bro." (laughs) "Yeah, fuck him up, man."

   8. BSBrendan Schaub45:14

      And people would love that too. I mean, it'll definitely be successful. But I would like to see Nick be real active before he fights-

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:21

      That's not happening, brother.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub45:21

       ... a guy like Masvidal.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:22

       That's not happening.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub45:22

       I know, I know. You're right. You're right.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:24

       Think... That's what's crazy about the UFC. Warmup fights?

   14. BSBrendan Schaub45:27

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:27

       Excuse me?

   16. BSBrendan Schaub45:28

       No, yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:28

       Conor hasn't won a fight in three years.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub45:30

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:30

       Then before that, the only fight he's had against Khabib, he, he, he gets done boxing-

   20. BSBrendan Schaub45:35

       No.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:35

       ... then fights fucking Khabib?

   22. BSBrendan Schaub45:37

       He hasn't beaten anybody since the Eddie Alvarez fight when he won, won the title.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:40

       That's crazy, right?

   24. BSBrendan Schaub45:41

       Yeah. It is kind of crazy. Three million-

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:43

       But he's on-

   26. BSBrendan Schaub45:43

       He's making fucking half a billion dollars.

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:45

       This is where you gotta... Whatever you wanna say about Conor, obviously his outside documentary on antics are, have been crazy. But you gotta respect the guy who has all that money and goes, "Yeah, I'll fight, uh, Cerrone in January at welterweight." The... You know, number five lightweight in the world-

   28. BSBrendan Schaub46:02

       Do you-

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:02

       ... and he's like, "Yeah, I'll fight that guy."

   30. BSBrendan Schaub46:03

       Do you think that he can reignite the fire that he had like when he KO'd Derek Brunson?
5. 1:00:00 – 1:01:26

   The only problem is…

   1. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:00

      He said, "Go for Jesus, don't forget Jesus."

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:03

      The only problem is he goes, "What's wrong with you, USA? What's wrong with you? You forget the number one."

   3. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:08

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:08

      "Jesus, what's wrong with you? Go back, go back."

   5. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:12

      "Don't forget."

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

      "Don't forget Jesus."

   7. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:14

      "Don't Forget Jesus." Maybe it's "Don't forget Jesus."

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

      But he says, "Don't forget," right? One more time. (laughs) Because it, it doesn't even make sense.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:19

      (laughs) Because here, why am I breaking this down?

   10. NANarrator1:00:21

       We're gonna closed caption it.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:22

       First of all, pause for a second. You gotta remember, he just got hit in the head.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:26

       A bunch.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:26

       A gang of times.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:27

       Yes.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:27

       Right? I mean, what fight was this? Do we remember? And look, he's got John 3:16 or 3:18 on a, on a b- bandana around his head. He's got a Bible quote on his fucking head.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:36

       Go for Jesus, not for gay Jesus, people.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:39

       Go for Jesus, not forget Jesus.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:42

       Yeah, n- not forget.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:42

       You forget.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:43

       You forget Jesus.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:44

       It's, yeah-

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:00:45

       It's e- it doesn't make sense.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:46

       ... it's possible. It doesn't make sense, period.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:00:48

       Yeah.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:48

       No matter what it is.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:00:48

       For him, for him to say, "Not for gay Jesus."

   27. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:51

       No.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:00:51

       That doesn't make sense.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:51

       Doesn't make sense.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:00:52

       Because no one is saying Jesus is gay.
