Joe Rogan (0:00)
Australia, two. Salute, my brother.
Brendan Schaub (0:03)
Salute, brother.
Joe Rogan (0:04)
What does it feel like having a Showtime special?
Brendan Schaub (0:07)
I don't know, I feel the same, a little more stressed out.
Joe Rogan (0:10)
A little stressed out? Yeah. 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 (0:24)
You hate hearing yourself, right?
Joe Rogan (0:26)
The editing is painful.
Brendan Schaub (0:28)
Oh man, the worst.
Joe Rogan (0:30)
But you'll get better. You just take some of the criticism to heart, understand what people are saying.
Brendan Schaub (0:35)
For sure.
Joe Rogan (0:35)
Just fucking keep on, keep it on, my brother.
Brendan Schaub (0:39)
I'm happy about it.
I think I'm stressed out this week. Because last week I was doing publicity for it, like New York, like Hustlin, doing all that.
Joe Rogan (0:47)
Yeah, I saw you did Breakfast Club.
Brendan Schaub (0:49)
Charlemagne, you and Charlemagne need to get together. You guys are gonna be great, man.
Joe Rogan (0:53)
I was listening to his audio book. It's very interesting.
He's had some real bouts with anxiety.
Brendan Schaub (0:59)
Yeah.
Joe Rogan (0:59)
Weird, weird anxiety.
Brendan Schaub (1:01)
Yeah, weird anxiety, right? Shook Ones, I think, is his book.
Joe Rogan (1:03)
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 (1:12)
It depends. If it's like legit, like when me and Dana were going at it, I was stressed.
Joe Rogan (1:18)
Yeah, I bet you were, too.
Brendan Schaub (1:19)
I just don't want that, because it brings out the evilness in people. You know, everyone's like, oh, I hope he tears them up.
People jump in. Yeah, and then you're like, oh, I don't really want this.
Joe Rogan (1:28)
Did you see Gaffigan and Neil Brennan?
Brendan Schaub (1:31)
No. No way.
Joe Rogan (1:33)
Gaffigan lit Neil Brennan on fire. For what? And shit on his embers.
Brendan Schaub (1:37)
No, for what?
Joe Rogan (1:39)
Neil started it.
Brendan Schaub (1:40)
Why?
Joe Rogan (1:41)
Neil started it. I'm gonna send it to Jamie. I'm gonna send it to Jamie.
In my Sober October text message group, and listen, I love Neil. Oh, Neil's one of my favorite people. When someone gets roasted, someone gets roasted.
Brendan Schaub (1:53)
Yeah, there's nothing.
Joe Rogan (1:54)
And it's even better because he started it. He started it for no reason.
Brendan Schaub (1:57)
Oh, no.
Joe Rogan (1:59)
He tried to be snarky. Here, Jamie, I'm sending this to you right now.
Brendan Schaub (2:02)
Jim Gaffigan is a mama monster, fantastic in Transylvania 3 Oh, amazing.
Joe Rogan (2:09)
Oh, I saw that.
Brendan Schaub (2:10)
Van Helsing.
Joe Rogan (2:10)
Which one was he?
Brendan Schaub (2:11)
He was Van Helsing.
Joe Rogan (2:11)
Was he really? Oh my God, he's amazing.
Brendan Schaub (2:13)
Great.
Joe Rogan (2:14)
I love those movies. They're fun.
Brendan Schaub (2:15)
I love when my son gets into that stuff.
Joe Rogan (2:17)
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 (2:26)
You can get into it. Even if it's meant for kids, as a parent, I'm good, man.
Joe Rogan (2:30)
Do you watch The Despicable Me's?
Brendan Schaub (2:31)
Oh yeah.
Joe Rogan (2:32)
They're great. All three of them are great.
Brendan Schaub (2:35)
But I love part three with the 80s soundtrack and the guy, the creator from South Park.
Joe Rogan (2:40)
And isn't there another one with just the fucking yellow dudes?
Brendan Schaub (2:43)
The Minions. That's good too.
Joe Rogan (2:44)
That's good too, yeah, I saw that one.
Brendan Schaub (2:46)
Little long, towards the end it gets a little weird when they get to London, but very good.
Joe Rogan (2:50)
Yeah.
Brendan Schaub (2:50)
They're good, man.
Joe Rogan (2:51)
Yeah. It's funny when you, 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.
