JRE MMA Show #95 with Brendan Schaub

Joe Rogan (0:05)

It's here.

It's here. We're just a couple days away.

Here we are, Thursday, we got Friday, and then Saturday's fights, and I gotta go. I'm gonna be in Jacksonville, Florida. I'm gonna be doing commentary in an empty arena. No one's gonna be near me. Everybody has to be really far away from each other. We're gonna be on separate corners of the octagon, which fucking sucks. You, DC, and Anik.

Brendan Schaub (0:26)

And Anik.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

Because when things go crazy, DC and I always grab each other.

Brendan Schaub (0:30)

You guys vibe off of each other.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Can't do that. Everybody's a pussy.

But we're all tested. That's what doesn't make any sense.

Brendan Schaub (0:36)

If you all agree, we'll risk it, man. We're all healthy. We're all fine.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

Well, not only are we all healthy and fine, we're tested. We're clean. We don't have it.

We don't have to be far apart from each other. I got tested yesterday. I got the results back from my nose swab. That's negative. And then two days before that, I took an antibody test. That's negative, too. I'm 100% negative.

Brendan Schaub (0:57)

So whose idea is this?

Joe Rogan (0:59)

It's fucking the state. The state just has real rigid guidelines, apparently. They just want to make sure that everybody's safe.

Cam Haynes wanted to come with me. He couldn't come.

Brendan Schaub (1:08)

You don't want to let Cam in?

Joe Rogan (1:09)

Nope, nope.

Brendan Schaub (1:11)

Do you know what Cam would do to COVID?

SPEAKER_3 (1:13)

It doesn't have a chance.

Joe Rogan (1:14)

Not a chance.

SPEAKER_3 (1:15)

Some of that kind of cardio.

Brendan Schaub (1:16)

God, come on, man.

Joe Rogan (1:18)

Listen, I had Elon on the podcast yesterday, and we talked about what the actual death rate is versus what everyone thought it was going to be.

Brendan Schaub (1:26)

Is he good at reading stats?

Joe Rogan (1:27)

I don't know. He said it's a magnitude of 10 to 50%, 10 to 50 times less deadly than they thought it was going to be.

It's pretty big.

Brendan Schaub (1:37)

That's huge.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

Especially when they start getting to things like, I don't know if you've seen the, there's a prison where they tested these prisoners, 98% of them had it and had no idea. Asymptomatic.

Brendan Schaub (1:49)

Yup, everybody was fine.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

Yeah, they're finding that in a lot of places. A lot of people are asymptomatic.

Brendan Schaub (1:54)

And Elon goes hard in the paint, too.

Joe Rogan (1:56)

Yeah, he goes hard in the paint.

Brendan Schaub (1:57)

Which I love.

Joe Rogan (1:58)

He said yesterday, if you got bit by a shark and died, and you had COVID, they would count it as a COVID death.

Brendan Schaub (2:03)

Yeah, 100%. I mean, he's probably making a joke.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

He is, but he's not.

Brendan Schaub (2:07)

Yeah, but he's not. Yeah, he's not.

Joe Rogan (2:09)

Yeah.

Brendan Schaub (2:10)

It's so ridiculous, man.

Joe Rogan (2:13)

Did we find out whether or not that's true about the heart attacks, the heart disease? Because someone else brought it up to me today.

Someone else who's a pretty smart person in New York.

Jamie (2:22)

I looked, I couldn't even find the numbers. So I don't know where they got those numbers.

Joe Rogan (2:27)

See if there's an article with the sites.

Jamie (2:29)

I looked hard.

Brendan Schaub (2:30)

Is the podcast out?

Jamie (2:31)

I looked hard.

Brendan Schaub (2:32)

Sorry, is the podcast out?

Joe Rogan (2:33)

Yeah, yeah, it's out.

Brendan Schaub (2:35)

Does he mention how, isn't it weird that the death rate went down once the flu season's over? Did he talk about that? How they're counting flu as COVID too?

Joe Rogan (2:43)

Yeah, that was the thing. If you have flu and COVID, they counted as COVID. Yeah, and then the flu, you know, look, COVID's not good, but it's not what we were worried about. It's not what we thought it was going to be.

Brendan Schaub (2:56)

It shouldn't have shut down the economy.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

No, I don't think so. I think shutting it down for a couple of weeks is not a bad idea to get a sense of it, but once the numbers are back, I mean, I think right now it needs to restart. People need to be precautious. They need to follow social distancing guidelines, wear masks if possible, especially until we get it all wrapped up and figure out what it is, in terms of like what the treatment, like they have, what does that stuff call again? Remdesivir, what is it? Remdesivir. Remdesivir, this new antiviral treatment that they say is- Supposed to work?
