#871 - Brendan Schaub

Joe Rogan (0:01)

Two, one, yee-haw, and we're live. Ooh, take a sip of that delicious coffee.

Brendan Schaub (0:11)

You got the best coffee, sir.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Oh, is that an Abikimi Fight Club?

Brendan Schaub (0:13)

Oh, it sure is. You guys just have it on here, huh?

Joe Rogan (0:16)

You guys have the same one as this K-Man coffee one?

Brendan Schaub (0:18)

Yeah, Tate's the one who hooked me up with those.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

There you go.

Brendan Schaub (0:23)

We need to redo those.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

So did you hear there were some fights this weekend?

Brendan Schaub (0:28)

I mean, I breezed by him. I saw the highlights. I thought you brought me on to talk politics. Let's talk politics.

Can we get into that?

Joe Rogan (0:34)

No, Joe Stein. Yeah, nobody's talking about politics these days.

Brendan Schaub (0:38)

Thank God.

Joe Rogan (0:39)

It's an important thing. We should bring it up because it's not like, I went on a few celebrities' Twitter pages and I was like, bleh.

Brendan Schaub (0:46)

People are freaking out.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

They're not just freaking out. They won't shut the fuck up about it.

Brendan Schaub (0:50)

Oh, it's nonstop, nonstop.

Joe Rogan (0:53)

And half of it is almost like, I think like they want everyone to know that they're upset.

Brendan Schaub (1:01)

Oh, yes.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

They want everyone to know that they're one of the upset people. They're not one of the make America great again people.

Brendan Schaub (1:07)

No, they promote that they're upset like I promote a live show. Like they want people to know where they're at, where they stand on it.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

This is one female comic. I go to her page every now and then just to look.

SPEAKER_3 (1:17)

I know who it is.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

I can't say where. And I just go, Jesus Christ.

Brendan Schaub (1:21)

Me too. I almost went to center DM just like, you gotta chill out.

SPEAKER_3 (1:24)

Just relax.

Brendan Schaub (1:24)

You gotta chill out. Well, did you see what is happening with Amy Schumer? She's so anti-Trump.

But you can't make it that part of the act. Like people were playing tickets and people were just like walking out. But she keeps harping on it.

Joe Rogan (1:39)

Well, you know, there's two ways of looking at it. There's one way that people say they have a voice and if they have a voice, it needs to get, you know, they need to use that voice to get the word out.

Brendan Schaub (1:50)

Not in a comedy show though.

SPEAKER_3 (1:51)

Yeah.

Brendan Schaub (1:52)

Make me laugh, bitch. I didn't mean to call you bitch.

SPEAKER_3 (1:54)

You're right.

Brendan Schaub (1:55)

But make me laugh.

Joe Rogan (1:56)

You can call her a bitch. She would call herself a bitch.

Brendan Schaub (1:58)

Yeah, you know what I'm saying though.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

At least back in the day she would.

I mean, she's like way more, she's way more like political and feminist now than ever before. If you go back to the old Amy Schumer that was on like Opie and Anthony, she wasn't into that at all. She was like one of the guys. That was like her selling point.

Brendan Schaub (2:13)

Maybe she got a little older and she was like, man, I want to talk about different stuff. But that's not the platform for it, I don't think.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

Well, if it is, you got to be really funny. Like if you have like an anti Donald Trump joke, that's fine.

Brendan Schaub (2:26)

For sure.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

But it's got to be funny. It's got to be just, it's like there's no room for that. Like it used to be that comics could have like these rants where they made like really important points inside of fun and it wouldn't be funny and people kind of accepted it. But that's what a podcast is for.

Brendan Schaub (2:42)

Sure.

Joe Rogan (2:43)

This is a new world. We live in a new world. I go to an action movie. I don't go to an action movie to get a massage.

All of a sudden, when you're in the action movie, someone comes over and massages you. You need to relax. You need to be less tense because you're really concerned about this action film. It's really not relevant.

Brendan Schaub (3:00)

What's like watching a porno? I don't give a shit about the story. I fast through. You know what I'm saying? I fast forward to the good stuff, man. It's like, I need them.
