Telling Brendan Schaub that he should transition into stand up comedy


AussieHarnessSeller

That one’s hard to forgive


NILOC512

Nailed it.


fpaulmusic

Pack it in folks, I think we’re done here 


Own_Deer431

I honestly think Joe did it out of guilt partially after that episode were he totally crushed Brendans skill as a fighter


kusowatashiii

Unfunny guy telling another unfunny guy they should do stand up is funnier than all their specials put together.


PlaidSkirtBroccoli

And then encourage him to do an even unfunnier podcast.


Soy-sipping-website

This might be top comment soon


Supercrawfish

I will say though, at that time Brendan could have devoted his time and energy into becoming a decent comedian. What sucks is he didn’t put the effort in to hone his craft and thus never really improved. Imagine if he had humbled himself and spent the time to be a good comedian. He probably wouldn’t be an all time great but I bet he’d be decent.


PaperBeneficial

No he wouldn't. He refuses to make himself the butt of the joke because he's a narcissist. If you can't poke fun at yourself, you're not funny. Same goes for 🏳️‍🌈Joe🏳️‍🌈


Supercrawfish

Well yeah that’s what happened. I’m saying imagine if he was able to do those things. It’s just a what if I thought of reading that comment.


Tasty-Chicken5355

When your not funny yourself its easy to misinterpret who is actually funny


Imadombartamatet

Joe makes fun of himself all the time


PaperBeneficial

Not really. The only time he does is when he is proven blatantly wrong, then instead of taking accountability for it, he just says "I'm an idiot and no one should listen to me". He just says that in the dismissive way to sidestep any criticism. If he really thought no one should listen to him he wouldn't have a podcast, be a commentator, or be a stand-up "comedian". He also gets REALLY touchy when someone makes a joke at his expense. He's allowed to joke about other people, but they can't joke about him.


RogueMallShinobi

I’m pretty sure he was putting in plenty of stage time, but it doesn’t matter. You can do comedy for like 10 years and still be just as horrendous as any random open mic’er (just look at Kill Tony contestants). It’s not like lifting weights. Some people have it and some people don’t. There’s really no reason anyone had to think that Schaub, a concussed meathead, could ever do comedy well enough to pay his bills.


sblack87

Standups are usually above average intelligence. He is below average intelligence.


postdiluvium

It was all worth it with Dana Whites >That makes sense 😃 Yeah Schaub is annoying, but he has produced so much lolcow content.


Double-Ho-7

If somebody stays in full mount at the end of the last round they should win the whole fight


kuya5000

a lot of his mma takes have been off lol


Sad_East_297

The time he screeched at the scientist about Bondo Theory. I think that tells you most of what you need to know about the guy.


Basket_475

That clip is brutal


StrokeGameHusky

Got a link for that gem?


Careless_Level7284

Maybe this one? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=isUFa1Ewd1E


Foxwglocks

Damn that rough. I’ve never seen that.


Sad_East_297

It’s pretty bad. It’s hard to hear him talk without hearing that screeching.


Gnoblin_Actual

Wanna give some context, or a link?


Sad_East_297

Just google joe Rogan bondo theory.


Gnoblin_Actual

Oh, shit why didn't i think of that. So fucking stupid of me


Sad_East_297

True.


Sad_East_297

Oh wait, someone posted it above! Now neither of us had to google it for you.


isnt_it_weird

He fell for the 4chan prank that an elementary school student was identifying as a cat and demanded use of a litter box in school to accommodate this.


lbjbig3

Lol but he knows someone personally where it was happening at that kids school according to him


Keanudabeast

“Buddy of mine’s”


StopHiringBendis

*my buddy's wife


AtleeMakesHam

And then, when he was called out on it, he claimed “Yeah, I tried to get back in touch with my buddy to verify, but I can’t get ahold of him. So I don’t know.” Yeah, Joe, it’s tough to get ahold of people who don’t exist.


Taureg01

Even worse he claimed his friends had kids that went to a school where they installed one


Any-Walk1691

That was *very* stupid, but like most wannabe Fox News commentators they just say outrageous shit, it makes the rounds. If anybody calls you out it’s libruhl hysteria. Everybody moves on. Damage is done. But they win. Everyone is dumber for it.


michaelgouffet

That Terrence Howard is intelligent


NightHawk772

Telling Brendan Schaub he should stop fighting. It would’ve been good for Schaub to get knocked out 3 or 4 more times


Silent_Reach_9423

Is the theory that a few more concussions would have realigned his brain cells


Aljoshean

When he said that Terrence Howard's claims need to be further investigated and studied and taken seriously.


-Ignorant_Slut-

This


President_Dominy

Talking about how video games are a waste of time. Same could be said for any hobby he has…


Finlay00

Wasn’t that for him though? Because he gets addicted?


crabuffalombat

Did you see when he had Hugo Martin on - creative director at ID software for Doom Eternal? He alternated between saying the game was a waste of time and giving him shit because it wasn't exactly the same as Quake 20 years ago.


ToSmushAMockingbird

He was being very polite to Joe who was, I'm guessing, too sober to be a fun host. I was so excited to see this guy talk about his passion project, but Joe just tore that game down before giving that man a shot. That episode was painful. 


Regular-Efficiency52

hahaha couldn't agree more with this😂


PaperBeneficial

It's funny he acts like he's better than video games because he has said that he was obsessed with quake and got a T1 internet line installed at his house back in the 90s.


Basket_475

Also I wonder if Joe realizes not every one who games stays up all night gaming for hours.


PaperBeneficial

No, he doesn't. His social circle consists of a handful of unfunny comedian sycophants that constantly kiss his ass.


StrokeGameHusky

Which emits easy to do if you don’t have a 9-5 job 


pulse7

I feel like it's more that he realizes it's fun but unproductive


Wiser_Owll

Time enjoyed is not a waste of time if balanced properly.


Careless_Level7284

Imagine you care about being productive


Katamari_Demacia

Eh. As i get older i feel that sometimes. I coulda been practicing guitar or building stuff or learning to 3d model, or naking art. Instead im 4hrs into dark souls.


gibbsi

Yeah but dark souls slaps


Katamari_Demacia

It do. I restarted with the item randomizer mod. Like a brand new game.


Normal-Ordinary-4744

Holy shit now that I’m 28. This resonates with me so much.


Katamari_Demacia

38 here brother.


-Ignorant_Slut-

Games often are a source of purpose and inspiration to my modeling, animating, and art making. Only reason I do any of that stuff is to build video games. I don’t think I would have ever learned how to code if not for video games. I admit that too much of a good thing can be terrible so I limit my playtime by playing only the best of the best games.


Katamari_Demacia

Yeah good point. My art is heavily based off the games i play. In fact all the shit i make most my money selling is pokemon related.


Wiscody

“What are you doing playing those video games for all the time? “I’m working on my problem solving skills!” I laugh at this as someone who used to play games a ton from 2010-2014. A big waste of time (to me).


oscoposh

Yes I’m happier with no video games. They are just too addictive and I am too weak. 


partyp0o0per

This whole new thing where he seems to think AI is actually smart and can think original thoughts and concepts. Literally every episode now has him ranting about AI take over while constantly saying “I’m stupid i don’t know shit”.. yea clearly, bro.


partyp0o0per

One episode he goes “What if AI told us all to eat mushrooms, the world would be better place instantly”.. as if the AI isn’t just pulling information from Reddit and Google and just saying what’s popular


corneliusduff

That Greg Abbott is a decent person


AtleeMakesHam

“A very cool guy”


corneliusduff

Yeah, if you like full-blown abortion bans


astrofizix

Mostly just his stand-up


FSUSeminalVesicle

Back before the Dominion lawsuit, when Tucker still had the highest ratings at Fox, Joe was crying about how Tucker was being "marginalized" by the mainstream media.


VillainOfKvatch1

And then after Tucker was fired from Fox, after Tucker’s own emails and texts showed that he knowingly participated in Trump’s election lies, he invited Tucker onto his show. To be fair, I haven’t watched that episode and I never will, but my guess is Joe didn’t hold Tucker accountable for his lies in a hard-hitting display of truth-seeking.


AtleeMakesHam

Oh, God no. 😂 In a just world, he’d have asked Tucker about apologizing to all the Democrats he smeared while promoting his “WMD” lie that killed a million-plus people. And then asked him about his emails savaging Trump as “a four-year disaster with no upside” and “a demonic force of destruction” while he was saying on-air “Donald Trump was the greatest president of my lifetime.” And then, as a cherry on top, ask Tucker about all the emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop from Tucker and his wife to Hunter, sucking up to him and asking him to use his influence to get their son Buckley into Georgetown. 😂 But no. Joe asked him about aliens.


VillainOfKvatch1

Maybe also ask him if he’s being paid to spread Russian propaganda or if he’s just a useful idiot. Anyone with integrity would start an interview with Tucker this way: “You claim to be a journalist, yet you lie constantly. No one should ever believe a word you say about anything. There’s no question here. Fuck you.”


DrDrankenstein

I haven't listened in probably over a decade so I'm sure he's had some worse takes since, but one that always bugged me back in the day was his thought process on our mass production and consumption of beef and beef products. He would go on and on about how terrible their methane was for the environment and how inhumane the cows are treated.. but we can't stop now cause what would we do with all the cows?? Like cows would just take over the country sides and clog up the highways if we stopped killing them for food or some shit. No dumb dumb, we just stop breeding so many of them. At first I thought it was a weird joke, but then he just never got to the punchline.


wanted-by-the-Bureau

He’s changed his tune here. Now he makes fun of people with these views.


DrDrankenstein

Yeah that sounds about right. So fucking glad I never got that JRE tattoo I had drawn up


VillainOfKvatch1

Okay but a highway clogged up with cows would be a pretty rad tattoo. Like just a giant pileup of cows spilling over the median.


meegad

Man really thought we would be fookin India


TarzanGunn

Crowder during the cannabis baited-in debate. Crowder didn’t even wanna talk abt it. Joe’s weirdness in that made me sway from checking every episode since. I miss the UStream version JRE


youwhatmush

Telling people in particular athletes/fighters that they should cut out carbs and sugar.


NateEBear

Black rappers are supporting trump after he was convicted of a felony because it’s a corrupt system that has fucked them over too


[deleted]

They kind of are though. Facts


Careless_Level7284

“Facts” have proof. Lets see it.


[deleted]

Sexy red, 50 cent, Benny the butcher, Kodak black Do some googling nitwit


Careless_Level7284

I can say a bunch of names too. That doesn’t mean the case against trump was what got these people to support him.


[deleted]

I’ve provided artists who have openly supported Trump since being convicted of 34 felonies for paying a pornstar to not mention they had sex 16 years ago. She got paid 134k. 1-5 felonies, ok maybe. 34 felonies? Come on. The system is corrupt and it’s evident to anyone who isn’t a party shill for the blue team that it’s politically motivated because they’re afraid he might win. You being emotionally invested in Donald Trump because you don’t like him doesn’t change the fact that many people who are familiar with the system see it as a political witch hunt. Google rappers who support Donald Trump. The list will probably make you more emotionally upset.


Careless_Level7284

So why didn’t Trump fix the “evidently” corrupt criminal justice system? Are republicans the “law and order” party? Or is “law and order” in America corrupt?


[deleted]

Dude, stop. The comment was about rappers who support trump. Take your tit for tat BS elsewhere. You got all angry and upset because I accurately listed names of commercially popular rappers who support the dude. Go argue with the clouds and be all sad.


Careless_Level7284

Also, the comment was about rappers deciding to support trump BECAUSE of the convictions. All you did was name rappers who support Trump.


[deleted]

You should apply for commissioner of the last word club. Burns you up to be made to look like the fool you are. Do the world a favor, pull your bottom lip over your head and swallow.


Careless_Level7284

You’re the one that simped for trump here. Why bring it up yourself and then say “dude stop?” Absolute coward lol.


[deleted]

Coward because I accurately listed rappers who support Donald Trump? You’re unhinged and grasping at any straw you can to make this about your political views vs my political views, which it isn’t. It’s about rappers who support don trump, not me “simping” for trump. Prove me wrong about the amount of successful rap artists who are openly supporting trump and you win. You can’t Go do something with your life and stop picking arguments over trivial political nonsense. Again, I listed rappers who have openly supported Trump. Doesn’t mean I like Trump. Does being convicted of 34 felonies for paying a prostitute 134k 16 years ago to not mention it seem felonious? Not really, but go bang your drum and while you’re at it bang your head against the wall. Maybe it’ll knock some sense into you.


ClassicPop6840

I missed that one. When did he say that?


RosesUnderCypresses

Everytime someone triggers his favorite talking points and teeters the convo into another rehashed soapbox.


VillainOfKvatch1

Speaking of triggering, have you seen this trans girl, or boy I don’t know. This trans person. We can say person right? This trans person yelling at the manager because a waiter misgendered them? And the purple hair, like… what is that? Also, ice baths.


ambitious_89

That Burnt Crystler is “fucking funny man” I cannot stand him, or Schaub.


ambitious_89

I also get extremely annoyed by Andrew Shultz I mutar personally don’t think he’s funny. Him and most of his guys are just nothing special. Imho


_handsomeblackman_

that anyone can make it in life if they work hard enough that depression can be cured with kettlebell swings “people are jealous of brendan schaub because he’s big, tall and handsome and looks like the bully in high school who took your girl”


sosig482

What would you recommend against depression then? There's a lot of studies out there proving that consistent exercise is more efficient at reducing depression than anti-depressants are. I agree with your other points but telling someone who's depressed that, perhaps, if they get off the couch, stop eating junk and start living a healthy, active lifestyle might make them feel a lot better isn't a bad take at all imo. I fight competitively but i got a bad knee injury and was reduced to doing basically nothing for 6 months and i can tell you right now i definitely felt like absolute shit compared to when i was training consistently.


StrokeGameHusky

Sounds like Toe is jealous of Schaub …


ex-machina616

one time he said to avoid social media because it’s full of haters and losers which makes no sense because this sub is full of healthy well adjusted individuals


atring6886

Best comment I’ve read in a while hahaha


crabuffalombat

That MMA should take place in an open field with no stand-ups and no rounds. Dude, you have the money to make this happen. But you won't because it's guaranteed to lose money because everyone knows that would be garbage to watch.


bizzare_reality

Elon musk explaining mma to joe and joe not rebuffing his statements.


Ilikechickenwings1

"if you took the roster of the UFC's bantamweights, 135 pounds, and you paired them up against Ronda Rousey, she might be able to beat 50 percent of them. That's not a joke.”


Atrax_buckhurst

Australia is a totalitarian state and citizens can’t grow their own vegetables. Also related, how impeccable he thinks his bullshit detector is.


Silent_Reach_9423

It is impeccable though. He detects bullshit and then believes it


boner79

Telling people to intentionally catch COVID because natural immunity is better than vaccinated immunity. Some genius level shit there.


PurpleReignPerp

Seems to have aged well


Ryduce22

Terrence Howard is a genius and makes complete sense to me.


Own_Deer431

him praising Vultures both before and after it’s release even tho it’s easily Kanyes worst album imo at least


[deleted]

His opinion that legalizing drugs will not create more drug users because “people do it if they want regardless”. He’s completing disregarding the millions of people that would never touch drugs if they were illegal because (1) they don’t do illegal stuff for fear of getting caught and (2) they aren’t easily accessible. Recently it seems he’s finally admitted you’d have more users if it was legal, but this has been one of his worst takes historically.


lbjbig3

Hate to brake it to you but he indeed has acknowledged this multiple times recently and stated if they legalize drugs many more people that would not do them if illegal would now


[deleted]

re-read my post


lbjbig3

Lol my bad I was skimming multiple and I read the majority of this until the end I guess 😂

Anything he regurgitates from Dr. Carl Hart or any of his opinions on nicotine.

IhaveCatskills

His music taste


MinnesotaTornado

He likes Sturgill Simpson. That’s objectively good music


PlaidSkirtBroccoli

And Tool as well as a lot of classic rock.


wildcard1992

And 90s rap


IhaveCatskills

Sturgill solid but doesn’t cancel out honey honey


MostVarious2029

I guess you have excellent taste in music?


IhaveCatskills

Subjectively yes. Welcome the Reddit where we share our opinions


Normal-Ordinary-4744

Who even listens to podcasters for their music taste? 😂


IhaveCatskills

It’s in reference to him wedging horrible music taste into the convo whenever music is mentioned


MTGBruhs

Totally agree, boomer level palette


IhaveCatskills

Not even the best songs of the boomer era mixed with honey honey. The amount of times he’s talked about the chick from honey honey doing that cover with Gary Clark Jr says enough about his music taste. Wasn’t even that great and he shows people like it’s Hendrix at Woodstock or something


MTGBruhs

He's got a crush on her and dr Rhonda patrick


alsbos1

That’s not bad taste…


MTGBruhs

No, but the music is


RichardInaTreeFort

I don’t think boomers are fawning over yeezy


MTGBruhs

Rogan doesn't listen to Yzy, he's never once asked about his songs//music, he just likes Kanye cus he's crazy and successful


LargeCaterpillar4931

Worst opinion or what rubs me the wrong way and makes me view him differently is his belief the Egyptians were like an advanced futuristic tech civilization without speaking to any actual Egypt specialists except you know who. Makes me think if he can be so wrong on that he can also be wrong on a lot of the other hot takes he has had if you know what I mean. He just sounds like a child when he talks about Egypt and it makes me cringe and feel like he’s dumb.


StrokeGameHusky

Pretty much everything he’s done in life has made him dumber and dumber  That’s why he votes republican now 


StopHiringBendis

I haven't seen it mentioned, but I loved the way he backtracked when he found out that the "airports in the revolutionary war" quote wasn't from Biden 


perry_caravello666

Antifa was lighting all the forest fires around Portland one year lol Joe falls for all of it.


Lukereddit0986

That women should be allowed to vote.


lbjbig3

His takes are wild!


PurpleReignPerp

Almost all of the music Joe likes.


TomAterski

His stance that you can’t pull yourself up by your own boot straps.


jivester

In the Bobby Lee episode, Bobby asked at 8:09 "Do you believe (covid) was man-made?" Joe responded: >It was definitely man-made. Yeah, I wouldn't say definitely, because I'm not really an expert. But every expert that I have talked to that examined the virus itself - the cleavage sites, the way it skipped all animal forms. You can't find that virus out in the wild. (Not) that also made a leap to person. It also has ALL of the earmarks of being engineered.


BillionaireGhost

That’s uh, pretty much the prevailing opinion on the origin of Covid right now. Who’s still saying natural origin lol?


jivester

The prevailing theory is that every expert agrees the virus was engineered? Which peer reviewed studies back that theory? Which major scientific journals lean in that direction?


aidanpryde98

That’s the neat part! None of them.


Finlay00

So what was the origin?


jivester

The U.S. Energy Department concluded with “low confidence” the coronavirus leaked from a lab. The same WSJ article that broke that story also said Four unknown agencies and the National Intelligence Council believe “low confidence” humans caught the virus naturally through animals rather than through a lab incident, unchanged from the 2021 NIC report. The NIC Council also ruled out the possibility that the virus was developed as a biological weapon and assessed the virus was not genetically engineered. National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease: The agency has said evidence suggests the virus originated in nature and spread from an unidentified animal host to humans. Centers for Disease Control leans towards zoonotic origin. Federal Bureau of Investigation: concluded that the virus originated accidentally from the Wuhan Institute of Virology Central Intelligence Agency remains on the fence. Basically, we don't know for sure. Anyone who says it's obvious and the experts all know, is full of shit.


Finlay00

So the worst take you ever heard him say might be true?


jivester

Saying it has "all the earmarks of it being engineered" is wrong. He definitely has worse takes, I just happened to listen to this episode today so it was fresh. His takes on the moon landing being fake or why it's great to drink your own piss were probably worse tbh.


Finlay00

Why is it wrong


jivester

If it had all the earmarks of being engineered, it would be obvious to all of the scientists who studied the virus, and be the high confidence leading theory among all of the journals and the investigations into the origins of covid. That isn't the case.


Finlay00

So natural origin then?


sticky_rick_650

Unknown, and probably never will be known given China seems to be more interested in obfuscating evidence than pursuing it.


SoylentGreenTuesday

That Democrats cause poverty because of the visible homelessness in big cities—ignoring the fact that Republican-led states have by far the worst poverty in America.


StrokeGameHusky

But the poverty in red states is spread over the entire state, not just the cities !


SoylentGreenTuesday

Exactly, republican incompetence and lack of empathy is both severe and widespread.


MerelyUsefull

Joe: Can you believe the left is doing \[insert any unbelievable nonsense\]? They must be stopped. Facts: That's not true. Joe: But me even imagining that it's true means the left must be stopped, y'know?


Maleficent_Leg_768

His bullshit meter is fine tuned and Trump doesn’t trigger a reading.


JackedJaw251

The litter box thing is up tnere


Willing-Scale-4456

How he constantly dismisses the bible because of “how primitive and dumber people were 2000 years ago” and how that is just a book of stories written by dumb people. And then the very next episode he’s praising researchers in how technologically advanced we mist have been 10,000 years ago.. seems kind of contradictory. I myself don’t know what to believe therefore i don’t dismiss anything really. But that’s something I’ve noticed for almost ten years about him. But i have noticed he’s been letting people preach or reference the bible a whole lot more this year which is kinda ofd for toe rogaine himself. Maybe he’s had an epiphany idk
