JRE MMA Show #94 with Brendan Schaub

Joe Rogan (0:00)

Quarantined, baby! How are you holding up?

Brendan Schaub (0:03)

Getting through, man.

Joe Rogan (0:05)

Are you weirded out or are you just accepting it?

Brendan Schaub (0:07)

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

Joe Rogan (0:13)

Well, I know several people that have gotten it and gotten over it. The worst was Michael Yeoh.

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.

Brendan Schaub (0:25)

Jesus Christ.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

He got it real bad.

Brendan Schaub (0:27)

Yeah, he's bad.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

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

Brendan Schaub (0:30)

His post choked me up. Did you see his Instagram post?

Joe Rogan (0:32)

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

He's such a good guy.

Brendan Schaub (0:37)

He's the nicest guy.

Joe Rogan (0:38)

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

Brendan Schaub (0:41)

That would be a shame...

Joe Rogan (0:42)

.devastating.

I know people that have gotten it, gotten over it. Not much of a problem, you know? And they just felt like shit for a couple days, then they're fine.

Brendan Schaub (0:51)

But that's the majority of people, Joe. Majority. I know people get upset when I say that.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

It's true, though.

Brendan Schaub (0:56)

It's true, though. Those are the numbers. The majority of the people get it and they're fine.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

Yeah.

What I'm hoping is they come up with a legitimate treatment, where it's like, this is confirmed that if you take hydroxychloroquine, you know, with Z-Pak, if they say something like that, this is confirmed. If they say, we got it covered, folks. We no longer have to worry about people dying of coronavirus. We just catch it real early. Sort of like Tamiflu or some other things that, look, staff used to fucking kill the shit out of people.

Brendan Schaub (1:25)

Oh, tons.

Joe Rogan (1:25)

You know, killed a lot of people. Infections killed a lot of fucking people. Now they give you antibiotics.

I mean, imagine if Jiu-Jitsu killed people. Imagine if you went to the gym and you got staff and you died. How many fucking people would train? I wouldn't train. No one would train. You'd be so terrified of staff, right? Well, that's how we are right now with this coronavirus. We're worried because we don't have like a rock-solid, legitimate treatment or a vaccine.

Brendan Schaub (1:49)

But that hydrochloridine, whatever the hell it is, in Z-Pak, supposed to work. The trials that they've seen, right?

Joe Rogan (1:55)

Yeah, well.

Brendan Schaub (1:55)

For some people.

Joe Rogan (1:57)

You know, it's what they call anecdotal evidence. It's not 100% proven clinical trial, peer-reviewed, where they can say, hey, we had 160 people that were coronavirus positive. We put them on this hydroxychloroquine.

Brendan Schaub (2:08)

It takes a lot of time.

Joe Rogan (2:09)

It takes a lot of time.

Brendan Schaub (2:10)

We don't have time.

Joe Rogan (2:11)

Right, but there's a few doctors in New York that have implemented it and some very positive results according to them.

Now, is that enough to say, hey, we're good? No, I don't think so.

Brendan Schaub (2:25)

I think what's funny is, in our group of friends, you have some who are, they won't step a foot outside their house. They have some who are kind of in the middle. They have some who are super loosey-goosey, you know?

It's just like the Rolodex.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

The real problem is with people who are compromised, old people, people whose immune system is already fragile. And now the thing is, if you or I got it, we'd be fine, hopefully, but then what if you gave it to your grandma?

Brendan Schaub (2:55)

Don't go around your grandma, dumbass.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

Don't go around your grandma. This is the real, I think the real way to handle this moving forward is probably going to be something along the lines of make sure that old people aren't exposed, make sure that high-risk people are not exposed, and make sure that you don't expose yourself to them if you have it.

Brendan Schaub (3:13)

Correct.

Joe Rogan (3:14)

And then, you know.

Brendan Schaub (3:15)

Get your ass back to work.

Joe Rogan (3:16)

Yeah, and hopefully there's some sort of a treatment. But get your ass back to work is really important.

Brendan Schaub (3:20)

Hell yeah, it is.

Joe Rogan (3:21)
