Fight Companion - February 17, 2019

Eddie Bravo (0:01)

I'll send you a link.

Joe Rogan (0:02)

Four, here we go. Three, dos, uno.

Yes, and we're live, ladies and gents. Brendan Schaub with the official Comedy Store jersey on. That's a real Comedy Store hoodie. That's the real shit.

Brendan Schaub (0:17)

It's the real deal, man.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

You look like a doorman.

Brendan Schaub (0:18)

I look like a doorman.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Yeah, I wear those shits all the time.

Brendan Schaub (0:21)

I love them.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

Yeah, me too.

Eddie Bravo (0:23)

Dude, you'd be head of security if you were working the door. You know what I mean?

Joe Rogan (0:26)

Too handsome.

Brendan Schaub (0:29)

Dude, I'd be a doorman at the comedy store. Especially if they gave me spots. No, I'd 100% do that.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

Yeah, you'd get those 1 a.m. spots. You don't want them spots. Those spots are confidence crushers.

Those spots are good if you Dave Chappelle. They're good if you've been doing stand up forever.

Eddie Bravo (0:47)

Fuck yeah, they're good if you're Dave Chappelle. He can walk into anything.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

Well, the thing about that is it's also good for you to be in front of a tired, small crowd, like a tired, small crowd is good to test out shit.

Those are good. I did a spot, an unannounced spot the other night at the comic store in the OR. It was like half packed.

Brendan Schaub (1:07)

At what time?

Eddie Bravo (1:08)

But dude, everybody loves you.

Joe Rogan (1:09)

It was fairly late. It was fairly late, but it was, people were beaten down. It's a different animal.

Brendan Schaub (1:14)

Their energy's gone.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's different.

Brendan Schaub (1:16)

They're coming after dinner, drinks.

Joe Rogan (1:18)

Half full, different. You know, you can get fucking real used to, like, Louis CK used to say that, like, he likes to just show up.

And even though he was really famous and everything like that when he was doing this, still is, right? But when he would show up, what he liked is that they weren't there to see him. So then he would get a more honest response to his material.

Eddie Bravo (1:37)

I like that fake shit. Like when you go on, like, the guys that go on, the actors that go on, like Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel or whatever, like anything they say, anything they say the crowd is just, they got that applause sign ready to go.

Joe Rogan (1:57)

You know what's really hilarious when you watch those guys try to do stand up? When they get it in their head, that they can't, you know, like, come on, I can't fail.

Everybody loves me.

Eddie Bravo (2:05)

Yeah, I was crushing. I was murdering.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

You see them go up at the store. But I'll tell you what, man, Michael Rapaport is getting pretty fucking sporty.

I saw him do a couple of minutes the other day and he seemed like a real comic. And I know he's only been doing it for like a little bit.

Brendan Schaub (2:21)

He did it before and then he got into acting. I think he tried it before, but yeah, he's Rapaport's talent.

Joe Rogan (2:27)

He's getting good. He's good. I saw him once and he was struggling a little bit, but it could have just been the crowd. But then I saw him recently. I'm like, damn.

Eddie Bravo (2:35)

He's a tall motherfucker, too. I never realized that.

He's tall as fuck.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

He is tall.

Brendan Schaub (2:40)

Pretty tall.

Eddie Bravo (2:41)

Taller than you?

Joe Rogan (2:42)

No, no, he's a little shorter than Schaub. Oh, Andrew Feely, Andrew Feely in Miles Jury. That's a good fucking fight.

Brendan Schaub (2:48)

Great fight.

Joe Rogan (2:48)

So, here we are, folks. This is a Fight Companion. This is ESPN's first real card.

Not on ESPN Plus. This is on ESPN ESPN, which is huge for the sport.

And Kane, motherfucking Velasquez. My vote for the best heavyweight in the UFC ever. I think the most accomplished is Stipe, for sure. I mean, it's hard. Fabrizio Verdun, what a fucking record that guy has.

SPEAKER_6 (3:14)

There's a good argument for Verdun in that.

Joe Rogan (3:17)

There's a good argument for Verdun being one of the greatest of all time. Or the greatest, because he tapped Minotauro, tapped Kane, tapped Fedor. I mean, who the fuck has tapped all those guys?

SPEAKER_6 (3:29)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:29)

I mean, he's a motherfucker. But as far as what I've seen from when he's in his prime, outside of all his injuries, Kane at one point in time was just a storm.
