JRE MMA Show #94 with Brendan Schaub

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   Quarantine, baby. How you…

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      Quarantine, baby. How you holding up? (smacks lips)

   2. BSBrendan Schaub0:04

      Getting through, man.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:05

      Are you weirded or just accepting it?

   4. BSBrendan Schaub0:07

      I'm accepting it, and I'm, I'm trying to stay positive. I send you guys all the positive stats I get. (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      (laughs) Well, I know several people that have gotten it and gotten over it. The worst was Michael Yeo. And I need to confirm this with Michael, but I'm pretty sure Michael had a cold, and then caught the corona, and then got pneumonia. And-

   6. BSBrendan Schaub0:25

      Jesus Christ.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:25

      And he got it real bad.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub0:27

      Yeah, he's bad.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:27

      He, he got it real bad. He was hospitalized for a week.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub0:30

       Yeah, his posts choke me up. Did you see his Instagram posts?

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       Yes, yes. And you see him coughing while he's doing it.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub0:35

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       He's such a good guy.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub0:37

       He's the nicest guy.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       He's the nicest guy. If we lost him, that'd be fucking-

   16. BSBrendan Schaub0:41

       It'd be a shame.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       ... devastating. Um, I know people that have gotten it, gotten over it, not, not m- much of a problem. You know? And they, they just felt like shit for a couple days, and then they were fine.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub0:52

       But that's the majority of people, Joe.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       Majority of people.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub0:54

       I know people get upset when I say that-

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:55

       And it's true, though.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub0:56

       ... it's true, though. Those are the numbers.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:57

       Yeah, there's-

   24. BSBrendan Schaub0:57

       Majority of the people get it and they're fine.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:59

       Yeah. What I'm hoping is-

   26. BSBrendan Schaub1:02

       (clears throat)

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:02

       ... they come up with, with a legitimate treatment where it's like, "This is confirmed that if you take hydroxychloroquine," you know, with Z-Pak.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub1:10

       And the Z-Pak.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       If they say something like that, this is confirmed, if they say, "W- we got it covered folks, we no longer have to worry about people dying of coronavirus."

   30. BSBrendan Schaub1:18

       Yeah.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Is it really? …

   1. BSBrendan Schaub15:00

      road in, uh, California.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:01

      Is it really?

   3. BSBrendan Schaub15:01

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:02

      Yeah. Why does everybody like that area? Is it the homeless people that attracts them?

   5. BSBrendan Schaub15:05

      There's a... It- it's like-

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      (laughs)

   7. BSBrendan Schaub15:06

      ... it's a weird vibe. (laughs) It's like the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:11

      It's so strange.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub15:11

      It's so strange.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:12

       We were driving there and then we- we stopped at a red light. And there was, like, this nice house to the left, like, this super modern-looking Venice-style house. And right across the street, on the right was 20 tents.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub15:23

       I know.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:24

       Camped out.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub15:25

       It's such a bummer.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:26

       Just... Why do they let that happ-... That is the dumbest thing, that they let that happen.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub15:30

       And you know what they do?

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       They let people take over the sidewalks.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub15:31

       You- you know what these bums do to get- to get money, is if a house goes for sale or rent, these bums squat in front of the house so the seller or the renter has to come up and be like, "You guys gotta get outta here," and, like, pay us. So then they give them money, they leave and then they rent the house.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:44

       Man, there should be a service.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub15:46

       It's a hustle.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:47

       Should be a service that cleans that up. It-

   21. BSBrendan Schaub15:49

       It's called COVID-19.

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:50

       (laughs)

   23. BSBrendan Schaub15:51

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       I don't think it's affecting them. They already- they already had tuberculosis and fucking-

   25. BSBrendan Schaub15:55

       The Black Plague.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       ... Legionnaire's disease. They got everything.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub15:57

       They got everything. They don't give a fuck.

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:58

       Pr-... I mean, they were finding... What was that, uh, crazy medieval disease they were finding in, uh, bums and homeless people in Skid Row? Uh...

   29. BSBrendan Schaub16:07

       Jesus Christ.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:08

       It was a crazy disease that they hadn't found... Goddammit. Do you remember it, Jamie? We were talking-
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah. …

   1. BSBrendan Schaub30:00

      knows, especially in these conditions.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:01

      Yeah.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub30:01

      It's like, what camp have they had? Especially Justin, you know?

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:05

      Well, I know Tony's had a camp.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub30:06

      Tony's had a camp, but y- you gotta real- e- everything's, everything's not normal, like you're not getting the same amount of guys in that training room.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:12

      Yeah, but Tony's not normal.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub30:13

      (laughs) To- Tony's not normal.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:15

      Tony, if Tony-

   9. BSBrendan Schaub30:15

      If anyone's gonna thrive in the situation, it's Tony.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:17

       Yeah. He didn't... You know, he didn't spar at all, apparently, according to everyone that I've talked to-

   11. BSBrendan Schaub30:22

       His camp.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:22

       ... for, for the Pettis fight-

   13. BSBrendan Schaub30:23

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:24

       ... after his surgery. So the guy has knee surgery, like a really complex knee surgery, where his ligament is reattached to his leg and he has a m- massive scar. I mean, he's got a 12-inch scar on the side of his leg. Five months later, he's fighting again.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub30:38

       He's crazy.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:39

       That's nuts. That's nuts. And didn't do any sparring, just, just rehabbed everything, got himself in shape.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub30:45

       He looked pretty good.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:46

       He looked fucking fantastic.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub30:47

       He got wobbled in that fight.

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:48

       Of course he did. He was fighting Pettis. Pettis is a master striker. Pettis knocked out Wonderboy with a Superman punch.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub30:53

       100%. (hand slaps on table)

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       Yeah.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub30:55

       I- I don't know if he can take those same hits the way G- Gaethje hits, though.

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:58

       That's a good question. Gaethje, you know, Gaethje comes after you, man. He comes out and he's got phe- nominal leg kicks. His leg kicks are sensational. And he throws leg kicks from crazy angles too, like he'll, he'll be like right up tight with you, like right here, and he's chopping at your leg. It's kinda...

   25. BSBrendan Schaub31:15

       It's amazing.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:15

       It's interesting how he does it, like he's not a- he's not... He doesn't have a Muay Thai background, which is really crazy, though.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub31:21

       See, he just learned to kick about four years ago.

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:23

       Well, more than that, 'cause I remember in the PFL he was fucking people up with leg kicks.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub31:25

       I'm just saying like he's not... He has no kickboxing background.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:28

       Right, right, right.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah, I mean, that's…

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:01

   2. BSBrendan Schaub45:01

      Yeah, I mean, that's sports though.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:02

      (laughs)

   4. BSBrendan Schaub45:02

      I'm talking about, like, hanging out at Albuquerque at 4:00 in the morning with bums-

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:07

      Shooting guns.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub45:07

      ... and fucking shooting guns out of the-

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:08

      Yeah. Well, they don't ... Well, they do get hit in the head. They get hit in the head football style.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub45:12

      Anytime.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:12

      Which, by the way, I, I, I got through the Wandery series on ... I still haven't watched the Netflix documentary on your boy that looks exactly like you, Aaron Hernandez.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub45:20

       (laughs) That's why I grew my shit out.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:22

       (laughs)

   12. BSBrendan Schaub45:23

       We look so much like each other.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:24

       It's ... So much is hilarious. But God damn, dude, that Wandery, uh, podcast series, Warrior-

   14. BSBrendan Schaub45:30

       It's so good.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:30

       Oh, it's so good. I was-

   16. BSBrendan Schaub45:33

       It's-

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       ... gripped. It was one of those ... You know, sometimes you get a podcast series like that, like another one is, um, uh, The Dropout about that, uh, Elizabeth Holmes chick that robbed everybody with that Th- Th- Theranos Company?

   18. BSBrendan Schaub45:44

       Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:46

       Yeah, yeah. That's another one that's like-

   20. BSBrendan Schaub45:46

       Is it good?

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       Holy shit, is it good.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub45:48

       I need a good one.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:49

       There's a few of those where you start and you're like, "What the fuck?"

   24. BSBrendan Schaub45:52

       Dude, sometimes I'll sit in my car and wait till the episode's done.

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:55

       Yeah.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub45:55

       It's ... I'm, like, so into it.

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:57

       I'm on something right now that I know you're, you're, you've read, that Chaos book.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub46:01

       The Charles Manson book?

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:02

       Yes.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub46:02

       Dude.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:03:16

   I, I selfishly don't…

   1. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:00

      don't want you to do it at all so we can do a great fight companion.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:02

      I, I selfishly don't wanna do it too but I also, uh, I'm very curious about what it's like to see a fight in an arena with no one there.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:07

      Have you ever been to The Ultimate Fighter? (laughs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

      No.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:09

      I mean, granted it was in an arena but-

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

      No.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:11

      ... it's just, it, it just feels, it just feels different.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

      Yeah. Oh, sure.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:15

      You, you can literally hear the ... Like, like, "Oh, God."

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:19

       I know. It's gonna feel ... It's gonna sound really weird 'cause I scream a lot too. I'm like, "Oh." I'm gonna be like-

   11. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:23

       Everyone's gonna hit.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

       Yeah. It's gonna be very strange. And they're gonna hear what I think should be done. They're gonna hear, like if-

   13. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:29

       That might help.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:30

       Yeah. For DC, if DC's gonna be there with me, if someone's wrestling-

   15. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:33

       So you think you're gonna do it?

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:34

       I don't know. I'm thinking a lot about it.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:35

       You still don't know?

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:36

       I don't know.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:36

       Dude, it's next Saturday.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:37

       I have to decide. Well, listen. I said that I would do it if it was gonna be in America. I talked to Dana. I said, "Look, man, you got ... You do it in America, I'm gonna do it." But it's not really in America. It's on an Indian reservation, which means it's not sanctioned by any Ath- Athletic Commission.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:49

       So does it not count?

   22. NANarrator1:00:50

       No, it's a contained event.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:51

       It counts. What's that? Will be a sanctioned event?

   24. NANarrator1:00:55

       Yeah.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:56

       How?

   26. NANarrator1:00:57

       It says that, uh, all of their international events, they work together with the, uh, Nevada Commission to sanction them and th- the ABC, which is the Association of Boxing Commissions-

   27. BSBrendan Schaub1:01:05

       Ooh.

   28. NANarrator1:01:05

       ... and Combat of Sports says this will be a sanctioned event.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub1:01:08

       Oh, wow.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:08

       Oh.
