I know, I like it. So now let's go ahead. All right, well, here's the first one. It's from Michael Hingen. Brian, your legs are looking like toothpicks. Why aren't you hopping on Bee's peptide train? Hey, Michael, my legs are not toothpicks. Yeah, you have good calves.

And I have my thighs. I had a, I put on a fricking tuxedo. My thighs are bigger than they were because of all the squats. I have actually fairly large or strong legs. I'm like a frog. If there was a reason for you to have peptides, it'd be your upper body. That's right. Not my lower body.

I got a tail piece. His lower body's pretty good, yeah. Is that peach? Hey, take a look at me in person, bro. Come feel my legs. Yeah. Calvin has big calves. My thighs are only an inch smaller than Brian Shaw's.

And an apple bottom. Got a little apple bottom. What else you got? Okay, Brendan, this one's for you from Darren Rogers. What is Brendan's all time favorite classic muscle car? Hold on, you missed one. Oh, we're not gonna get all of them. Unless you want me to get that one.

There's a gazillion, so. Oh, I got you, sorry. I'm just gonna take this off. Hey man, you got dog and you're an entertainment yeah you like seeing it no I think it's better if you don't okay let them jump around yeah and we run out we can go back to it when they're up there it's not good cuz Brian's talking, I'm seeing what's next. It's not good. Yeah, yeah. OK.

All right, go ahead. OK, this is from Darren Rogers 5. What is Brendan's all-time favorite classic muscle car? Ford GT40. Mustang. Ooh. I like the way they look. Which one?

Gen 1, Gen 2. I don't know. The Gen 1. 64, 68. 64. The old school ones? Yeah, the old school. I like those.

I like the GT 500 KR. But my absolute north star is a Ford GT 40. Would an Aston Martin, even though it's English, be considered a muscle car? No. No. I mean, this day and age, they come with some crazy horsepower back in the day. Yeah, I don't like the golf one, like that color. Obviously, that's a classic look. Uh, that, that all blue ones

was my cup of tea. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Is there a reason why? I just love them. Piece of jewelry, piece of art. Uh, no, they're, they're manual, great engines. People like Tennessee took them and supercharged them. They, they sound fucking wild.

They drive great. Could you drive that on the street? Oh yeah. That's street legalcharged them. They sound fucking wild. They drive great. Could you drive that on the street? Oh yeah, that's street legal. Yeah, Rogan has one. He doesn't have a GT40, he just has the GT. My favorite's the 2006. So the GT40's from the 60s, and the one I like is from 2006.

That's my North Star. Okay. That's Rogan's exact car That silver one. I want to see that black would see them. Yeah that black. That's what that's what daddy was They ain't giving that away. Uh They used to be cheaper to that movie Ford vs. Ferrari came out and then everyone fucking got on them But they're yeah, probably 400 grand you've got find one 400. Good. God. I know that's my north star Yeah, I love grand. You find one 400. Good God. I know that's my North star. Yeah, I love them.

They're my favorite. Okay. This next one's for Brian and Wes Greco Guitar wants to know when you're going to Turkey to fix that mop of yours. Never. I'm not going to Turkey. If I get this mop fixed, it's going to be in Beverly Hills with a guy whose work I've seen

Oh, but isn't it more expensive there? Yeah people go to Turkey. I'm probably cost me about 14 or 15 grand It is my head though, and then Turkey with flight and everything, you know, it's a I've been to Turkey Many times I've done that flight. It's all good. It's six days out of my life It's all good. It's six days out of my life It's not happening, but I feel like if you're gonna do the the hair transplant like now's the time you're not young Yeah, you don't do it when you're 80. Don't give a fuck. No now would be the time No, it's just gonna be if you don't do it now, you're never gonna do it. Yeah, I'm gonna do it right here I don't know. You're never gonna do it. No, I'll do it. It's never happening. No, I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do you're supposed to get a tattoo when you got 10 million downloads

I know but you don't want to take away from my skin. It's never none of this is ever happening No, I'm good his eyes though. So he got my eyes done. Yeah, he's wanted. I've had a hair transplant. It just didn't take Well, that was back in the day though. It was a long time ago. That was literally 20 years ago We scared to do it now cuz somebody, my dad was paying for it, because he was like, you do it, I want to see if it works, I'll do it, and then he never got it one time. Oh, you were a guinea pig. He never got it done.

He was like, well he's smart, he's like, it didn't work. It was six grand by the time I remember. But that was when they would take a strip out of your head. Now they take individual follicles. You and Rogan did it. Did you guys do it at the same time? Yeah, Rogan had two, I think. No, he had one before me, and then he was like, fuck this.

And then he just shaved it. But now I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it for sure, because I'm gonna take it back. I think you either do that before me and then he was like fuck this and they just shaved it But now I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it for sure cuz I'm gonna take I think either do that or you just shave it Yeah, but I think it's great. I think it's fine. Honestly. Thank you. Yeah, but it's not getting better. That's the point It's only get worse. So it's like at some point either you got to do the surgery or you just gotta shave it off That's right. I'm gonna get good with about 100% doing this. I think you look good with a bald head. Maybe, we'll see. Be hilarious. Yeah, it's not great.

You just gotta get a little sun on it. A little sun. What else you got? Okay, Brendan, this is from Jared Everidge. Brendan, can you tell us what you're using with Transcend? Name something. They sent me more stuff because I tore my bicep. But the big ones, like the ones for you guys, BC 157's

the main. BCP, right? BCP, that's the main one. IGF-1. And then TRT, those are kind of the main ones that I use. Glutathione I use every day. And then blue scorpion venom. But that's not from Transcend.

I thought it was BPC in my bed. Yeah, BBC 157 is the go-to. That's the Wolverine drug. But there's some stuff I can't tell you. This is for recovery. I just shoot it. Okay. This never felt better though.

So this is for both of you. This is from iCleveland13. You guys used to have the best merch. What happened? Can we expect any more TFATK merch? We should fire that back up. It's just that you know what what a lot of this stuff, a lot of it's just time.

Like I only have, you know, cause it's not a knock on Brian, but it's like I only have so many hours in the day. So certain things I gotta focus on. So if I do merch, I'm not gonna half ass it, so then I'm gonna have to put energy into that. Then I have my own stuff going on with Drive Fast, so it's just all about

time and trying to figure it out but we definitely should at least offer a few pieces I'd like to bring back some original pieces I think it'd be cool to offer some Texas stuff once we're in Texas you know that'd be cool speaking of your move to Texas guys prop hat kid wants to know how often you guys will be back in California after you move. Not a lot. I will be back because I have family here, so I'll be back. But Brennan, I don't think there's a good chance California will never see Brennan shop again. No, I'll be back because I still work with Sig Motorsports on my giveaway trucks and

we do the builds there. So probably once a month. Okay. Yeah. I have to go back and forth, you know, but I won't be back. There's no reason besides just the car stuff. There's not many reasons. Okay.

Edward Castillo, 178 wants to know what's the next step for you boys after Austin? Fame and fortune. Fame and fortune and Mars. I am- I haven't even thought about it. We're just trying to get that thing fired up. Yeah. I mean, cause you're with the bill,

with all that stuff. So you gotta, you find a new studio, it has to, not only are we looking for a studio, but I need a space too to that's also a shop So I'm still do all the truck and car content fits fire the kid fight fits the shop show in a good area Kind of in between me and Brian then you got to build it out chin has to find his crib out there So it's like you're dealing with all that stuff. I have some idea like I would like to mean Brian We're talking about lunch day. I'd like to add some more content for TFATK,

whether it's behind Patreon or just on here, right here. Yeah, me too. I think we'll be able to do a lot more stuff out there. Yeah. Okay, here's another one from the same person. Do you ever think- But real quick, also in Austin, like, I think for you too, you also be a lot more at the

Mothership. Yeah, you'll be like more in that scene because out here you're not in the scene. Are you out there? You'd be more in that comedy scene Yeah, so I'm looking forward to that There's so many different venues where you can just stand up and I need that keeps me sharp. Yeah getting out there Here's another question from the same person. Do you guys think you'll ever fix the relationship with Bobby Lee and who gave you the info about Tiger Belly that caused all the mess? Look, Bobby Lee and I on text have fixed that relationship. We are, we will, I think you'll see us together in something, you know, in the future. And I've apologized and taken full accountability. I love him. He's a great guy. I won't go into the Tiger Belly stuff, but it's over. It's over. It's

done. It was a huge mistake and he's our boy. I love the guy. I think he's really funny. I don't make any excuses. I never have. I apologize right away several times and I throw myself in the mercy of the court. Yeah, I mean I've, I don't know where I would see Bobby. I'd be cool. I have no animosity towards him. I literally, I don't care. I think he's hilarious. He's so talented, but you know, I'm sure he feels the same way. It's like my life doesn't get better if me and him are friends, you know, neither does his. So all good. you know, I'm sure he feels the same way. It's like my life doesn't get better for me and him or friends, you know, neither does his. So all good. You know, all good. Well, I think he's a great guy. Yeah. I've always, we were never that close here.

You came up with the, the comic store. I was never that close with him. I've always appreciated him. He's such a talent. He has great podcasting and standup. It's not like I missed. I think that that, that putting him in the mix in that mix was wrong, a hundred percent wrong. And, uh, I was not like I missed. I think that that that putting him in the mix in that mix was wrong. 100% wrong. And I was working on bad information. And I take full responsibility. I don't even I don't even I don't even take I don't even blame the information I got I take full responsibility for that. information we got. That's for a different discussion. I always say it was my, it was, the way I spoke to him, he was always my friend, always somebody I cared about,

didn't deserve any of that at all, not even a little bit. And it, you know, I've not made a lot of mistakes in my life, but when I make mistakes, I've always accounted for them. And I believe a man should say, I was wrong, I fucked up, huge learning experience, no excuses, no excuses and I had a bad moment

and I was in a bad way. I was personally and emotionally in a bad way, man. I was in a dark place. Yeah, there's bad timing and also I should have had in hindsight been like, what are we doing? No, we shouldn't do this, like we just weren't't thinking I had a million things going on like it was so dumb Whether it was or wasn't behind it which we don't think it was about who was a good person Who had nothing to do with it in the middle of it?

I mean stop was outrageous and I've that's my mea culpa But like if it happened now like we're in such a better spot if someone would have came to us with the same information I'm like get the fuck out of here. Yeah, it was a weird time. We it was so stupid. Yeah. Yeah, so stupid but I think you'll see I think you'll see us and if certainly me and bobby in the future and uh, I've I just I love them. I don't know what me and bobby would do. You know, it's not like Donny so you guys can roll whatever. No. All right You know, it's not like, Donnie, no, whatever. All right. Let's take a little break here.

This is just for you be no no six wants to know where he can find those high top orange Convies you wear High-top orange. Oh, those are those aren't Converse. Those are Golden Gooses.

I figured. They're mid tops. They're Golden Gooses. My wife got me a long ass time ago. I wear them so much. They already come broken in, which is weird, people pay for shoes broken in. Like, I wear them.

Handmade in Italy. I wear them nonstop. Yeah, that's great. The price of them's stupid. Is that it or no? Go back. You had them. If you go back, see the bottom right? This one? Yeah, that's it right there.

The other is my favorite shoes. I love them. Yeah, they're great. Ex-recluse. The price is a little ridiculous. Yeah. You got to calm down. Ex-recluse wants to know, when did you both know you were going to be boys for life?

Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. You gotta calm down. Extra Clues wants to know, when did you both know you were gonna be boys for life?

Aww. You, you, uh, I think you start off most relationships with, uh, sort of sharing of values and laughter. Gay! I know, I know. No, first of all, I ran a blind, you just, you just not, you know how when you're like,

you're into the same shit like right away, you're just kinda like, oh that's a cool dude, you don't expect anything to happen to it. You're just hanging, but I think- Brian's like when you have a common interest in life, in the worldview. What happens is you start to realize, you see somebody and you go,

oh you know what's actually important versus what's not. Like we'd be in a situation where we'd see, we'd be with people. And maybe they look like they're winning at life, right? And then all of a sudden I'll look at him and go, hey, and he'll go, I'll literally go like this. I go, so let me ask you, and he goes, they're not good people.

How about that? I go, I fucking knew it. That's what, and what happens is when you do that, you're sharing values. You're going, they stand for something that we actually don't believe in. Cuz there's something mean about it. There's something cruel about it. The one thing that you can say about him and I think me is that I think that we're softies.

If I see somebody who's mean, if I see somebody who's very selfish and self-involved, it rubs me. It's something about it. That's not why we're friends, Brian, you made this boring. It's really, like right when we met, you made me laugh hard as fuck. Yeah, yeah. Then we started hanging out, and then it was like, man, we should get together

and talk, we had some really good conversations, like over dinner, over coffee, then it's like, then we should do a podcast, and then over time, just boys. Yeah, you're boys, but also then you go through shit together and then you stick by each other. You know, it's like Chin, that same way. He's a ride or die motherfucker.

Chin is a ride or die dude. So we didn't go through anything till 10 years after knowing somebody. Sure, but I'm saying that you just, you still go through stuff and you're like, all right, well here we are. Good time, bad time. Yeah. You know? And I think the first time we had sex was probably a year ago

I mean bright enough right away when he was a cuck and he was that was like I'm just gonna send the corner I like you. Oh, is that what a grateful human being? Yeah, and not not with not Paintbrush my face. Yeah, I did that too. Yeah, I remember that Yeah, so that's it. And if you guys are wondering how we have sex, obviously he's a giant raft on his tummy, and I'm going to town, because I'm a natural top, and I'm older.

What? You know, friend, you just keep hanging out, and then you start a show, and now we're basically married. It's like, now we're married. Now we're moving to Texas. Yeah, it's crazy. Here we go.

This is an interesting question. We'll ask Chin as well for this one. By Deleon, one wants to know, would you rather have a finger for a D or a D for a finger? Just think about it for a second. Oh, a D for a finger. I just cut it off.

You have a quick answer. I just cut it off. I'm with Ry. A finger for You you have a quick answer. I just cut it off I'm with right a finger for a dick. It's a bummer. Yeah. Yeah suck They also did that in that movie scary movie where the aliens were on their fingers on their face And they're like where they rub their fingers on my face like those are actually their dicks They were like this And they guys like why do you put his finger my mouth? Like the fingers actually the dick on the alien.

That's funny. What's that scary movie? Yeah, like scary movie 3, I think. Donnie Bubba? Enough. Enough, pal. He just wants to be funny. No, he's trying.

He's looking for this marker to tear up. Oh. He sleeps with the boys now. Sleeps with teens. Here's one from Woodworth Trubber. What career pack would you guys have taken if not going for comedy and fighting? Teacher. I would have been a writer.

You would have been a fun teacher. You also would have got fired for fucking the students. You know, you would have been a college professor that fucked the hot student. All the hot, well girls, not students. No, no, no. Don't say students. Well, you never know, dude, a handsome gentleman. Just a young 19 year old guy.

Yeah. I don't think I would've fucked the students, I don't know if I was, you're sort of 30 and That's what I'm saying. 19, 20 year old? Yeah, you're young. Hi professor, can you help me? You're a young professor on college campus.

Yeah. God bless those guys. It would've been an issue. An issue. Yeah, it would've. Hi professor. You're a young professor on college campus. Yeah, good. God bless those It would have been an issue an issue. Yeah, it would have been an issue. Yeah, like what? Oh, you think I'm smart you think you would have been a see I feel like you have fired cuz you don't stick to the curriculum like Frank. You're six months behind You've been talking about Trump for four. Yeah, I would have been I have liabilities in terms Yeah, he doesn't have dirt and on a college campus With me I I don't know I mean my family's military I would like to go in the military Cops, I like cops. I would have something like that, you know, probably I like that. Yeah, you would have been terrible

I don't think so terrible cop. No, cuz you don't you'd be like I don't want to do this No, I don't think so. You think you'd be I don't think you'd I don't think you'd enjoy. I don't think I will well Enforced law definitely could especially with society. Yeah, but as far as like but if like that's all I know Like now we're on the outside looking at you You could never do it because you got to be by the book and you got to listen To what people tell you and you being not being your own boss, dude Good luck with well, no, there's a reason why I'm not I mean just like you're not a professor Yeah, I live in hypothetical. Yeah, no, you don't have the you know the discipline be a professor

You're saying I'd have sex with my students. No, I just don't think you'd stick to a curriculum and then also with the homework They'll be my dog gated by guy.. I understand that. Like you gotta be disciplined. Same way with me as a cop with guys like come on man I've had a bad break in my car. I know. I don't know. I don't know. What would you do? I think I would have been, I can see myself but I didn't have the grades or really the focus. No, I wasn't money motivated. I've never been money motivated. No. I just didn't want to look back on my life and say my life's a number. I knew that because I was I was gonna try to be a banker like my dad and I was like,

I know that I can't do this because I don't want the end of my life to just be a number I point at. And I was so moved by movies and comedy and I just that's all I cared about so I think I would have been a teacher Of some kind I would have tried. I want to be a martial arts teacher a taekwondo teacher. Yeah, I talk about not making money Yeah Honestly question. I don't know cuz sports with I was since I was like four all I did is focus on sports You want another there's not a ton of options. I was literally really flirting with the idea of being an animal trainer.

I know. Especially a dog trainer, I know. Yeah. It's weird, but I would have liked a better. You do like dogs. Yeah, but then you get either out of that. Yeah, it's tough for me because since I was like four, it was like sports, sports, sports, and I was athletic. I guess my son now, like T, it's it's tough for me because since I was like four is like sports sports sports and I was athletic

I guess my son now like tea it's same thing sports sports sports, you know You asked him to do like hey, you want to be a teacher? He's like what? No, man, like it's just not I know he's that has that athletic ability. So it's like all you focus on And you studied animals to right Brian in the forest and stuff stuff so you do like animals. Well I wanted to be a naturalist and then I went to Indonesia, tracked orangutans in the fucking rainforest and went, this ain't for me. This is, this is. A firefighter sounds cool.

You could have done that. Yeah that would be cool. With the boys, I like to be on the team. That's a good time. Slide down the pole, even when we're a team. That's a good time. That'd be cool. That's a good time. Slide down the pole. Yeah. Even when we're not fighting fires. That would be fucking cool.

That'd be cool. Four days on, four days off, that'd be lit. Do they still slide down the pole? Is that a lie? No, I think they still do. They still do, yeah. Some of them. The last steep Amy Oetrich stuff you'd see you sliding down a pole.

That's so cool. Yeah, those are cool. The big dude in the clouds. Can you look that up? Because I think that's cool. And I've always assumed that every firefighter is a pulse ladder because it's faster than the stairs, right? Yeah, is it that much faster when we pull a fire? Recognizable similar firefighting modern fire stations are increasingly signed without them do say to the legal issues many old stations still retain them Yeah, you would the with the house soft society is Yeah, you know, there's one guy was like whoa and fucking broke his neck sued the fire department. Yeah, all right

So it's a fire protection association call for the removal of all poles fuck off Hey, if my firefighter can't slide down a pole, you ain't saving the fire, you know, dude They they're they remove them cuz they're such asshole like these fucking safety Councils go fuck yourself keep the fucking pole Yeah, I would like if they did that But also just don't make firehouses what two levels right make them ranch style Yeah, there's also that now. I want to sleep up there and be like, I'll be right down. And just slide down the pole. Yeah, a firefighter could be cool.

Sliding down a pole is hard though. It's like a bitch. If you're not warmed up, you get older. You're like, ah, ah, ah. Yeah, but they're not that old. Yeah. Firefighters are usually pretty young, right? What would you be, Chen, if you didn't stick with sound

engineering? What'd you say? If you weren't doing this. This is kind of what I've wanted to do. I know. If you didn't do this. If I didn't. You'd be a musician.

Just so I work my own schedule. There's a lot of money in fishing YouTube. There is.

There's some big, right, there is. You gotta be big though. There's Guggen squad, there's a bunch of like, yeah. You wanna be a guide, Chin? No, cause I suck at, I feel like I suck at, like I can't teach people how to play guitar, even though I can play it.

I can't teach people how to sing, even though I can sing. I can't teach people how to do this. I just wanna do it myself myself and then I get it Yeah, and then if they can learn from the videos and great. All right Mark swaggin wants to know what's gonna happen to golden hour when you guys move Chris and Eric will continue to do it The show be diverse probably better if I'm god, you know, those guys have known each other for years They talked movies I could give two fucks about and so they'll be able to elaborate on that

I usually fuck the vibe up cuz I'm not into the same movies and stuff Like they're gonna crush it just the two of them and they're they have so much chemistry So that it's that shows gonna continue on I'll check back in I'll zoom in when I'm in LA I'll jump on but it's gonna be the Chris and Eric show still be golden hour, you know when I'm in LA, I'll jump on, but it's gonna be the Chris and Eric show. It'll still be golden hour, you know? Ryan Lee Hanson said, when or if will we ever see Theo back on the pod? What is your current relationship with him now? Hey, Theo might be moving to Austin.

Yeah, but I talked to Theo yesterday. He posted happy birthday. You know, Theo's doing his thing, man. Busy. He's swamped. Yeah. Busy. Doing a lot of stuff. I talked to Theo at least, I'd say, two, three times a month, probably. Yeah, me and Theo are great. Love that guy. He's crushing it, man. Okay, let's see Here's another Inquisitive one art zero three twenty one says what happened with Brendan and Chappelle? Do they still talk? I assume that's Chappelle Lacey Yeah, nothing love Chappelle. I just got text. I just got a text from I think he's out. He's still in LA, right? He didn't move. Yeah, he's still out. No, I love Chappelle. He's doing great. I haven't talked to him in a while. I'm also, but also I'm not, I'm not doing stand-up. So I used to see him around, you know, the comedy store and improv and Laugh Factory. So I'm not in that world. So I think people don't realize that when you have kids and you're that involved in them, you're not on your phone that much. You're not, you're

not connected to the outside world. You and I don't even really talk when I'm on the road because you're doing your kid thing. You get older and what happens is- Especially with travel ball, like I'm not on my phone anymore. How old are you now? 42. When you get older too, you have kids.

I'll talk to my old friends, but there's not a lot to talk about all the time because you're busy doing things with your children. It's also not that interesting. Like, is there anything worse when people are telling you about their schedule with their kids? Like, unless it's your kids or you're on the same baseball team or you're in the same school,

you really don't give a fuck. Right. You're kind of just in your world and it's not that interesting. I was your kid on the trial ball team. I was in third grade. I was you doing recital. Like, we're all doing the same shit. It's not that exciting. But when you're single and you kid on the trail ball team. I was in third grade. I was you doing recital. Like we're all doing the same shit.

It's not that exciting. But when you're single and you're on the road and you're doing this or you're doing this or you're a UFC fighter, like there's a lot of exciting shit. I mean, can my dad like, last night was my birthday, I was asleep by 8.30. Like I'm not really doing anything that lit.

This is the future. You're living the future. And it's awesome. This is someday. This is the future you're living the future and it's awesome. This is someday. This is the future Okay, andress Sdca wants to know are there gonna be any more fighter and the kid live shows I haven't thought about it. We get to him in Austin people ask this. Yeah, there's enough space in Austin. We could do that

That's not a bad idea. Yeah Yeah, there's enough space in Austin. We could do that. That's not a bad idea. Yeah. It, again, it just depends on Brian. Like I, it's to get me to go out of town is a beast these days, especially with Tiger's travel ball. It's a beast, but Brian's on the road all the time.

So that's why it makes it tough. Yeah. So, but it, but you could do them in Austin. Yeah. That'd be easy. 100%. And we make it, and they could upload them to the Patreon or to the live, you know, I'm going to start doing just two weekends a month anyway.

Yeah. That's a good question. I haven't thought about that. So go break care. What does a mechanic and auto shop owner in Georgia, a taco restaurant operator in Arizona and a life saving medical innovator in Tennessee all have in common? They're small businesses and they're thriving on TikTok.

She Mechanic, AZ Taco King and CPR Wrap are just three of the 7.5 million businesses across the US that are using TikTok to compete and grow. From family-run establishments to entrepreneurs, 74% of businesses on TikTok say the platform has allowed them to scale their operations, increase sales, expand to new locations. And that growth means jobs. Today millions of businesses on TikTok employ more than 28 million people and counting.

Small businesses thrive on TikTok. To learn more about TikTok's contribution to the U S economy at TikTok economic impact.com. Let's get back to the program. Darren McCormack 33 wants to know what's the reasoning behind your move to Texas and what was the last straw in LA? The fires. I don't get why you say the fires. Cause you're on the beach, Bubba.

I've just done. I'm done with the traffic. I'm done with the fires. I'm done with the city that doesn't I'm done with the, how much it costs to live here. I'm done with the fact that I get nothing for my taxes. I'm just done. I'm done with the traffic. I'm done with the fires. I'm done with the city that doesn't I'm done with the How much it costs to live here? I'm done with the fact that I get nothing for my taxes. I'm done with Los Angeles I'm done after 30 fucking years of Giving everything I had to this fucking town and and I don't have a good taste in my mouth about Los Angeles Yeah, I don't have that resentment like my life here is dope. But Like the hustle on mine now, I could keep doing it,

but you know, with my overhead here and the studio, the multiple houses, all the shit that I'm doing, the businesses, when someone was like, Kate, if you moved to Austin, you would save this much a year. So in five years, you don't have to do anything. And I was like, ah, you're crazy. And really, Lex and Rogan kept telling me, kept telling

me. And then, uh, the equity of my house, like I won't have a mortgage out in Austin, you know? And then, so there, that's a huge app side to it. And then like the school my kids go to, me and my wife fight about this all the time. I don't like the environment they're in. I can't stand it. And the public schools, especially the area we're in,

are atrocious. And they have like those safe rooms and all that woke shit which I do not identify with. It's just not my thing. It can be your thing, it's not my thing. I don't want that for my kids. So I really didn't know what to do there. So to get them out of it,

and then I went and visited the schools in Texas, I'm like, oh my God, this is what I align with. This is great. I want to be raised in this environment. And so it made it pretty easy, made it pretty easy. But I'm not one of those guys that leave LA and shit on LA and like I've had a great time here. I have nothing but good memories in LA.

Yep. Okay. I think this is Linda Marie Gamboa asks, this question came up a lot too. Can you guys or will you guys ever hold a raffle to have a fan on the show as a guest? A raffle? I don't know. No. Have we ever done that?

Hold on. No. Yeah. That'd be weird. No. Maybe in the very beginning. If we can get a time machine and go back to 2012, yeah. Yeah. That'd be weird. No, maybe in the very beginning, if we can get a time machine and go back to 2012. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But what's your, what's your reasoning? I just, I'm already bored. What do you, what do you, what do you think? Hey, what's up, buddy? So where are you from? No, I think when I first started with you guys, I was like, that'd be a great idea. But now, now that I've been through this for a long time, it's like you guys would struggle to get this person to be talking about certain things. It would be tough. It's what happens, it's fine.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Julian Soss Dew wants to know if Brian was in Brendan's body and if Brendan was in Brian's body, who would win in a fight? If I was in Brendan's body and Brendan was in my body, Brendan's body is gonna beat Brian's body.

It's called physics. Yeah. But he'll have a different sense of fight knowledge and skill sets. Yeah, but I'd be a lot stronger than good old Brendan in his dumb jujitsu. Yeah, I would still have my black belt in Brian's body But also his knees and stuff. I don't know lights out

Punch your lights out. Yeah, I don't know I would punch your fucking lights out if I was in your body and you had your skill set. I'm punching your lights And I'm gonna fucking break your neck. Don't talk to me about your fucking dumb. I don't know. You can do all your jujitsu and I'm gonna fucking get a hold of you and throw you on your head. Yeah, maybe. I'm gonna pick you up and I'm gonna suplex you.

Yeah, you might. Yeah. That's a funny question. There is a limit to how strong you are and when you can bench 225, 27 times. How much do you weigh? 170, sir. That's light.

That's light. And not a strong 170. Yeah, I know. Fairly athletic, I'm 58, dude. I know, sir. That's light. That's light. And not a strong 170. Yeah, I know. Fairly athletic, I'm 58, dude. I know, but you're still 58. 58. Yeah. It's not a good...

There's some miles, you know? Yeah. And I would think I'd be like explosive, like shooting a double. Sure, sure. Just fucking croak out. Bop, bop, bang. Yeah, it'd be problems. And I would kick you in the head.

Yeah, croak out stuff. I I would kick you in the head. Yeah. Croak out stuff. I would just do a lot of stuff. I, my, my tack wonder would really actually work and so would my boxing. Okay. Um, this is from Marcus, the franchise. It's a good question though. Brendan, do you think Dustin Poirier's last fight should be against someone like Nate Diaz?

No. Oh, no, I don't think Nate Diaz has earned it. You know, uh, he's No, I don't think Nate Diaz has earned it, you know? He's coming off a loss to Jake Paul. He's not currently in the UFC. You know, Toporia. I think, no, it's a terrible idea. I think Dustin, because he beat the shit out of him, dude.

His last fight should be a award. It should be a reward for Dustin. This is his last one. You don't have him fight a guy in the pinnacle of his career so he goes out on a low note. Oh, I see what you're saying. Wow. Yeah. Were they asking me or Brian? I'll take it. Oh.

So I think Dustin should fight a guy like Max Holloway for like the BMF title, something like that, now that Max is more well-rounded at 155. You know, like Max- Didn't he already do that though? But it was Max going from 140, he was a natural 145er going up to 55. But when at 55 now, like he's in his body, he's older, like 55 is a great home for Max. He looked phenomenal against Justin Gaethje. So I think Max versus Dustin makes a lot of sense. See, I think Dustin still has a lot of fight in him. And the reason I say that is he lasted a very long time against Makachev and his boxing and

striking is really good. And I actually would like to see him against to Poria because that's, that to me is an interesting idea. It's kind of an interesting, it's not what you do on someone's last hooray foot, like send off. Because it's a bad fight. You don't do that. You don't, you don't give them a guy in the pinnacle of the career champion. Also for Topia makes no sense in any facet. Okay.

You can get Topia to sign that contract. No, no. Topia is looking for belts. Yeah. Jose Mendoza 85 wants to know you guys' opinion on the GFL. Will it be bigger than Bellator? Bellator was pretty big back in the day till they messed some shit up, you know?

Uh, it just depends on their TV right deals and how they go about matchups and stuff like that and just and getting out like how good their social media You know, they have some big-name fighters the venues at the promotion, you know There's so many things have to go right to survive belt or was big you like strike force is big So, you know, they're fighting a an uphill battle, you know, I got to know I had dinner with Chris Lytle. Okay, good guy You know him. Yes. Yeah good guy. But what do you have to do with GFL? I was thinking about older fighters, but he's 50. He's not gonna fight but he's had he's done. No, I'm saying I'm just thinking about older fighters.

And he's a commentator on bare knuckle boxing, I think. Maybe. Good guy. He commentates on a few, yeah. What do you think about GFL, though, to the question? I mean, I think I'd have to see the numbers on what people are in, what people kind of think about these old legacy fights and these old legacy fighters and how well they did. In 2025, because remember Bellator got big because they would do, you know, hoist Gracie,

Kensha, like these old school fights. Yeah. But now there's so much MMA. I don't know if you can survive today doing that. I don't know. We're going to find out because they got the money backing. They get the roster. They got the names behind it. I think they announced the TV rate, TV right deals, which it'll get announced soon here. So

they're doing the damn thing. Someone's going to do it. There's a big pie there. So they could do it. It's just, you know, it's an uphill battle, man. We'll see what then the market's gonna let you know. Yeah. This question is for Brian. Eric L. Barton wants to know, do people still send Brian milkshakes and say sweet tart? They sure do. Tart and ass.

They sure do. I'll have people like say, this drink is for you cause you're a sweet tart tart and ass. And I'll be like, damn it. That came from Sassalia? No, that came from Delia. That kid can say something and it just sticks. His sweet tart tart and ass.

That's hilarious. Yeah. Oh God. I had these kids do that to me. They were like, dude, this is for you because you are a sweet tart. And it was this big frosty drink. I was like, those mother fuckers.

Frosty drink. I haven't heard that in a while. Yep. I think we used to have sweet tart tart and this merch. Sweet tart tart and ass, yeah. Okay, this is for both of you. Rocket and Luke wants to know, what's your vision for the podcast over the next five years?

Kind of broad. I'm glad you asked that because we don't necessarily have a vision, but we probably should have one. We're gonna do some revamping and some thinking. I have some ideas as far as like revamping things in Austin and stuff like added more value to the show. I'll be a senior citizen by then, so. Yeah.

There is that. Yeah, and I have to calculate if Brian passes away, we might do a bingo thing. We'll do a bingo section. Yeah, but that's a good question. I, you know, it just all depends that lay the land. We'll get to all stuff like that. But yeah. Okay. This one is silly, but again, multiple people sent something like this in the rustic fig wants to know which one of your wives would win in the octagon. Well, my wife is a cheerleader and strong, can do back flips and flips and she was a competitive diver. So she's pretty in her body and she's a fierce little thing.

Joanna's super athletic and Mexican. Be a good fight. Be a good fight. Be a good fight. They like each other a lot though. Yeah. But it'd be a good fight. Because they're both girly, but it'd be. Joanna's powerful too, yeah. They're both tough. Yeah, and she's shredded just naturally. Yeah, Joe's comes from athletic stock.

Yeah. Okay. That's a hilarious question. I love it. And few people sent it in. But my wife's actually super athletic. She does a lot of stuff. Yeah.

Very in her body. Colin Sr. wants to know, Brendan, do you ever think you'll go back to comedy? I get this all the time. I can't picture a world where I would have time to do it. I just, there's a few factors that go into it. A, in order to get good at standupup the amount of time that you have to spend Doing it like Monday through Sunday Like you got to realize like when you guys saw me do comedy Brian's been doing for 30 years

Rogan's doing for 30 any what Theo's been doing for 25, you know, you Shane Gill's been doing for 20 Schultz 20 Santino 20. So I'm behind the eight ball. So not only just, just to even touch the tip of the iceberg, I have to do so much work just to get even fucking at any level. And I just don't have the time. So don't miss it. I don't, I miss the hang the sometimes I miss certain things about it, but overall I don't miss it. And then I would miss my kids' sports.

It's just not worth it. Okay. And I don't miss the travel. That was the worst part of stand-up. And the late nights. I came in bed by 8.30. I've never been healthier, never been happier. It just doesn't make sense for me.

I do live fire on the kids every now and then. But not if you made me commit to it like once a week. I would hate that. Okay. Another one for you, V. Pics of me Roland wants to know, what is the exact dollar amount it would take Brendan to fight one more fight in the UFC? Oh, I'll answer the question. I'll answer the question. This is Asian. We got to start at a mill. No, no. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. We got to start at a mill. No, no. Hold on, hold on. I'm, hold on. We got to start at the negotiating table at a mill. No, no, no. You're terrible.

Hey, hey, hey. I know I'm saying lowest was we're going to consider, but. No, no. Not a chance. I know what the number is. We start at five mill, but I'm saying if you're not coming at the table with at least a mill, we can't have a conversation. After taxes, it's 500 Gs, bro.

Yeah, not a chance. For one fight? Not a chance. Wow. No, no, no. Really? No. For one fight?

No, 500 grand? Yeah, it's a lot of money. Oh, no, no. If you invest it? No, no, no. No, I'm crushing it, man. No, no, no. Oh, you're crushing it.

Yeah, it's going well. You're going to get me to fight for 500 grand. Really? Not a chance. 500 grand. I got offered that that more than that. How about a mill? No, not a mill. Is it after taxes? I'm saying. And pay man's rent? All right, so if you have a mill in the bank. No, I still wouldn't do it. I'd have to stop everything. No, five mill. Five would be the market. Five mill. Five mill. To fight. Five mill to fight. The starting point or the or? No, just five mill. Five mill. Five mil. Can't manage anymore.

No, I know. We'll do two mil, because after taxes, if we're smart, you got one three in the bank. Sir? Yeah, five mil. It's five months out of your life. Six months out of your life. God, it'd be a lot longer than that.

I'm fighting how many years? Six months ain't enough, Bubba. You see, you need a year. At least, yeah. Of training. And then I have to, remember, I have to get off all the shit I'm on. So then you gotta get off that,

you have to get your system back. I'll see you gotta stop a lot of stuff, so you're gonna lose money. That's what I'm saying. We gotta start a fight. I'll have to stop everything, get off all the shit I'm on. We really, what we have to do is we have to have,

no, I got it. See, now you're, now you're not taking all the consideration. All right, listen, my boy's gotta take a year off his life. If you can get me a number after taxes that has him working for leisure and not because he has to, if I got his kid's tuition paid, if I got his house paid, if I got a nice dividend every month off the money

in the bank, now we can start talking. Now you're probably asking me what that number is. That number at the end of the day after taxes has got to come out to at least $7 million. And I hate to say it, but that's what goes on. And we're talking at least. Promoters are going, oh, we're good. Yeah. Because you can get injured.

There's a ton of stuff. We have to stop a lot of stuff. Yeah, man. You can still podcast, but- Stuff's get punched in the face. So the CT, what does that look like? It's a lot. We have to stop a lot of stuff. Yeah, man. You can still podcast, but. Stuff's get punched in the face. So the CT, what's that look like? It's a lot. You have to spar with professionals.

You gotta see 10 mil at the end of the game. 10. See, you start off with a mil, see? And you're upset, then I turned it down. 500 grand, fuck off. 500 grand for that. 500, fuck off. There you go, there's the energy.

You got mad, you're like, really? You're not gonna find a way? I know, that's the thing, you have to take a lot of time off. It's like, your CTE, you gotta, now. No give me ten and then I gotta see I Got no, but I mean I gotta see I gotta see some money There's a lot that goes is I gotta see my friend have to train It's gonna go that goes in today with ten million after taxes. Yeah, it's a nightmare

Yeah.

Which has to be MMA. I wouldn't do boxing. So you, okay. So I was a guy who fights at 55. All right. Nevermind. Tynan Thomas said, here's a classic. When are chin and bride going to actually fight?

Oh yeah. You guys are supposed to for a while, but then. Now that I know Brian's strength. It's we're not going to fight. You guys are older too. That how long ago was that? Eight years ago. Yeah. Seven years ago.

Eight years ago that shout out to that fan for the throwback. Eight years ago, it was fun. Now you're guys age. I was hitting mitts yesterday. I was Chris. It doesn't matter. Nothing. I think Brian.

Now I realize Brian would mess me up I know but Brian's 58 your how old chin 47 ain't nobody's fighting No Those day I was impressed with my head out to that rounds. Yeah, sure great Hey shout out to the fan for that throwback like a mother for all these years like when we see this Yeah Okay, we'll still we'll still have fun messing around. Because the new studio will have a bigger area.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. When I was boxing a lot and you had never boxed, I was like. I know. I know. I was being presumptuous. Yeah, yeah. Well, you were bigger. I know your strengths too now.

But it's like Brennan would say, if you don't know the language, you're going to get caught. I hear you. Especially with boxing. It's not good. 333 Vader wants to know, how do you guys always keep positive, especially when any hate is thrown your way? Because at the end of the day, when hate's thrown our way, I always laugh at this.

I'm like, I spend, you know what I do all day? I spend, and this is all I've ever done, I spend all day trying to figure out ways to make people laugh. And then I do a podcast. I don't know what I'm doing that's causing, like if you hate me, I don't know what to tell you. I've always tried to treat people well. I think if you asked anybody I've ever worked with,

anyone I've ever been around, they would tell you that I'm a pretty nice guy who does his best, I take care of my family, and he's the same fucking way. Every time somebody meets him, they go, hey, he's really nice. Yeah, I know. I know. You know what he hates? He hates even hurting people's feelings. But you know, like, what are we supposed to do? Like, what are we supposed to do? You hate us? Also, name somebody that's not, like anybody that, and we're not celebrities, but like anyone doing anything of no, like hates just what you sign up for.

I don't know too many people that like just focus on that. If all we did is focus on that, we wouldn't be here. Yeah, I don't read comments, good or bad. That's the thing. I don't, I never, good, bad, good comments, bad comments, I don't read because good or bad. That's the thing. I don't, I don't, I never, good bad, good comments, bad comments, I don't read because they get, they give you the same power. If you put weight in that, you can't win with the internet. But I think for the most part, I get love and, and, uh, I don't get a lot of hate, but, um,

I, I just come to the territory and sometimes people are just fucking with you anyway. Sometimes it's fun to hate on somebody. Sometimes it's fun to be, to kick Sometimes it's fun to kick somebody around. It's such a waste of time though. It's just such a waste. Like some of the people that edit these videos, these reaction videos, or the downfall of Shane Gillis, or Andrew Schultz, or Brendan Schaub, it's like, buddy, clearly you have editing skills.

If you just focus on it, you'd have a career, dude. Like if you did something creative where you weren't, you know, just giving an opinion on somebody else's talent, like dude, you could fucking do this man. I'd like them to work more skilled, more skilled than I do. Yeah. Yeah. I think part of is, um, also I, I just was thinking about this the other day, like comics, we're not, you know, we're misfits and I look, there's plenty to criticize about me.

I criticize myself. If you think you're criticizing me, you should see how I talk to myself. So I'm not saying I'm not worthy of some hate or criticism, but I do spend, I was thinking about this, I said to my wife the other day, I go, you know what I do all day? I walk around and I try to think of ways to make people laugh.

It's not a bad way to live. And it's not a bad way to, it's not a bad thing to put out there. I never make fun of people never did you know so You know That's what I can say she needs to come to the territory. It's just a culture. We live in yeah, you know culture we live I think part of also when you get older too as you look back and man you get it wrong a lot more than You get it right you fail a lot more than you succeed

But one of the reasons like we start a podcast like both of us have a lot more than you succeed. But one of the reasons like we started a podcast, like both of us have a lot of opinions. So, and I usually don't back down. So like the other day on the shop show, I said, you're an idiot. Clearly I know what I'm doing. When I said, you're an idiot. If you didn't score that fight for Alex. Now, listen, I know there's a very good case for, uh, on Clive to win that fight. I know that I do that to get a reaction. You like to, you like to, you like to shake it up and die in a hell sometimes. It's a podcast.

I wouldn't die in that hell. It's just, it's a podcast. Yeah. I want a reaction out of you. Prove that I'm wrong. And some guy was on there like, dude, you would have scored it for Alex, even if he would have got knocked down with you're absolutely correct It's like you know, it's Form of entertainment and some hate is it's good to listen to because it can it can actually Listen to any that's a good criticism. I've had people criticize me. Wow. Oh, oh, yeah Yeah, I'll get people like shop this the way do it. They're like shop. Love you quit interrupting Brian. I'm like, yeah. Y'all get people like, this is the way I do it, they're like, Sha, I love ya, quit interrupting Brian. I'm like, yeah, no doubt.

Yeah, some guy said to me, he goes, I was on Rogan a long time ago, he goes, hey dude, you get on there and all you do is try to show us how smart you are and how many books you've read. I was like, you know what? You might be 100% right on that. Hey Brian, that was me. Oh, that was you?

You trolled me, motherfucker. So there's a lot of that too. It's like, are you getting on there to promote something? Are you getting on there to show off? No, it's just a hang. Like even when you got to promote a special, blah, blah, blah. If you're just yourself, which everyone loves,

you don't have to promote anything. People go, and then at the end you have a special, like, God, Brian was great on there. I'll check out a special. You don't have to, I can't stand when people come on this show, Rogan, who have Schultz etheo and have an agenda, we can smell it a mile away. I told you this, whenever I have to go on

and people are like, you gotta promote your stuff on Rogan. I hate when you do that. I had this, I hate it so much, I hate promoting. Because I don't want. It's also not you. It's not me. But when you do it, bro. And here's the thing about toe holding.

It's so cringey. Here's the thing about my dates. It's the worst thing you do. I know. I hate when you do that. That's why I don't do it anymore. I told you I'm a bee-lifter. It was such a relief when you said that.

I go, oh fuck. I go, all you gotta be is yourself, we all love you, and then people will, you don't have to tell me a thing. Because I'm thinking about when to put in this promotion. Instead of being yourself. I'm being told I'm bad at it, so I'm like, now I gotta get good at it. And then when you said that, I go,

I don't wanna be on Rogan promoting anything. I don't wanna talk about it. I just wanna hang. I don't wanna do that. I just don't. It always feels so unnatural. And another thing about me, fuck off. I don't wanna go see me when I do that.

So yeah, you're right. Whenever Rogan has anybody on there, I'm like, oh, I like this guy. And at the end of the day, he's like, oh, I have my own podcast, they don't have to tell me, make sure you subscribe. I'm like, oh, I'll check out what he has to say. But if you've been on there every 30 fucking minutes, make sure, you know, I'm promoting my special, I get this podcast.

Then I'm like, oh, I'm not doing it. I am a pretty bad self-promoter though. It's just not you. So when you do it, it's over. Yeah, I'm just not going to do it. You don't do it anymore. No, I can't. It's such a relief.

Fuck it. I'd rather be poor. This question came up a bunch of times too. It's for you, Brendan. Rhrh81 says, Mattan talks so much about you, Brendan. Would you ever go on his show and clear up all the talking? No, but Mattan's 17. And Mattan is a sweetheart.

And Mattan is, that's his thing. He trolls. It's literally part of that generation. This kid is so smart and he knows exactly what he's doing. And so for him, it's all about getting a reaction. He's 17 years old. He's going to be, he eventually is going to, he's got something to say. So he's, he's, he'll figure himself out.

I'm not too familiar. I know he's super talented. I have no issue with him. I think what he does is great. He wants, I was gonna have him come on. I also just don't, I don't, again, I'm not gonna drive somewhere and do a podcast. It's just not what I do. We should actually have him on the podcast because he's gonna come on.

He's so funny. But he's also so young and, you know, and this was wild. Look at us. Where is the shot, by the way? And you know, and this was, this was, this was wild. Look at us. Where is the shot by the way? Fucking in Hollywood with that shitty backdrop. That's hilarious. The kid is, the kid is special. I, I, I'm a fan.

I really like him. And I had a great time on there. Cause we were, he was trolling me so hard. I wish him nothing but success. Yeah. Yeah. He's, that's his thing. That is his thing. And it was like, you know, be careful. He's going to troll you. I'm like, yeah, he's, that's his thing. That is his thing.

Everyone's like, you know, be careful. He's going to troll you. I'm like, Hey, I'm friends with Crystal Leah and, and Will Sassow, not to mention Brennan is not a bad troller. So if you think you're going to troll me, listen, I've been around a long time, but uh, that kid is like, he's like my grandson, 17. I sort of know what I would do on there. long time. But that kid is like, he's like my grandson, 17. I also don't know what I would do on there. Like, Oh, defend all the stuff they say on you about the internet. Like, he hold on.

Do you want me to drive down to Hollywood to do that? I just said, I don't, it's just, I have no interest. Yeah. Take another break here. Last one, kids.

Progressive, let's get back to the program. Okay, Maverick Ivy wants to know, guys give me your Mount Rushmore of serial killers. Night Stalker, Ramirez number one.

Jesus. Because sheer evil, you mean? Yeah, terrible. Manson's not a serial killer, so I won't put him in there, but he would be my number one. The worst is BTK. He's not getting on my Mount Rushmore because he killed kids. I can't stand him. Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy.

I get Rushmore's four, right? Yes. Uh, Ed Kemper. So at Kemper is a good one. So I'm putting them not on Mount Rushmore, but I'll build a, uh, I'll build a Mount Rushmore and inverted and, and drive it into the ground about six feet under. So Kemper is very interesting.

He was a six foot nine serial killer killed his genius. And he was a genius. He was really, really smart. He had a high, high, high. He's out. He's out here. I think Ted Bundy has to go in there as a guy who was also insanely charming and captured the American, uh, you know, the world's attention because he was so

terrifyingly charming. Uh, you've heard him talk and stuff. Oh yeah. So articulate, so charming. Um, they sentenced him because he defended himself and the judge goes, it's too bad you went down this path. You would have made a fine lawyer.

And then Jeffrey Dahmer, because he ate people and showed his victims. And killed Jeffrey Dahmer because he ate people and showed his victims and killed only dudes. Impressive. So he was a horror show. And John Wayne Gacy has something to say. He was the Democrat, gay. Well, he was an absolute monster, An absolute monster. He was in politics. He used to show little, the 15 year old boys or 13 year old boys, whatever, he'd show them a magic trick and then he'd put them in hand. No, not that young. He was killing guys that worked for him. Like 16, 17, he never killed young boys.

They all, they were workers for him. He had a construction business. Oh boy. BDK is the worst. I don't fuck with him. DC Sniper is interesting. Martino 77 wants to know what's one thing you would both do differently if you had to start this podcast over again?

Not the Bobby Lee stuff and listen to people. But as far as do things different, I think when Brian was going off through his shit, him taking a leave of absence was a bad idea. And me just doing the show with random people, I think it was a bad idea. I think we should have, granted we need the money at the time, I think we should have put our foot down. Now, in today, in 2025, you can do that. Everyone's like champion you, right?

Like you'll see guys that get accused of bullshit that everyone's like champion you right like you'll see guys that get accused of bullshit everyone's like oh we don't believe it but back in 2020 19 when we're going through it and i was like b what do you want to do and the only way we could get money was for brian take a leave of absence i think it ruined the show i think that along with the Bobby Lee stuff ruined the show. Now, I do think there's a place for us to come back, whatever that means, you know, but I would do this show for free. I love seeing Brian. I love you guys. I would do it for free.

Yeah. Brian? Same thing. Love that. I think you said it well. Jacob Holmes wants to know, Brendan and Brian, could you take Joe and Jamie in a fight? Wait, wait. Could Brendan and Brian take Joe and Jamie in a fight?

Why people do this, man? Well, I mean, again, I have Brendan on my side. Okay? I mean, again, I have Brendan on my side. Okay? Now, you can ask Joe and Jamie that question. I have Brendan Schaub on my side, and he's a gorilla. And so I would probably have to do not much in that situation,

besides go, you can do it! Go, go, go! I need pom-poms and a tutu and some makeup. And a little rouge. And a little rouge. And that's what I need for that fight. And we just have to lock it in. Why does everyone want us to fight all the time, man?

Why do we have to fight people all the time? There's so many questions about fighting, you guys. I know. Trust me. Okay, well, the migraine doc wants to know Brendan has Brian gotten any better at jujitsu, be honest. No, cause he stopped training. Yeah.

He's on the road too much. So jujitsu gets put to the side. Oh yeah. Now my boy, Gordon Ryan is open in gym 20 minutes from me in Austin. So I will probably get back to it with his guidance. Me too. What? It's black belts only. I didn't know that. Yeah. Oh, I'm not. No, I'm not welcome.

I just want to roll around. We'll do it for 10 years and come meet us. 10 years. Yeah. Okay. I'll see you when I'm 68. See you when I'm 68. I'll see you guys there guys there. Oh, OK. Will you? I get there. Oh, it's a plan. What is it? 10 years. Oh, 10 years.

OK, I'll see you guys. I'll see you in 10 years. Fine. You're sitting in the window like this. Do you think? Do you think? Just like this? Do you think?

Oh. Oh. Huh. OK, see you in 10 years. I'll be back. Yeah. Because you did super good for your body at 58 and 60. It's really good for your body.

Here's a serious one guys. This is from Mike Pace. He said, I just got into a huge fight in front of my kids. Has this ever happened to either of you? And what tips do you have? Yes. It's tough. It's a, it's so hard.

Cause you don't want to argue in front of the kids. And then if you do, then the kids will take that same tone. You'll see it. It's a tear. It's so hard because you don't want to argue in front of the kids And then if you do then the kids will take that same tone. You'll see it. It's not good Yeah, so we've learned again from us it happens It's not gonna make you a bad dad or bad mom like it just happens You don't think about it till you start having kids and then it starts happening But I tried to I'll leave I'll walk out of the room and make let's because I don't want to say anything in front Of the kids when they go to bed

Let's discuss this and that helps because then it we both cool down and then we like, because I don't want to say anything in front of the kids. When they go to bed, let's discuss this. And that helps because then we both cool down and then we can discuss it logically and not be all passionate and upset, you know? Yeah. It's tough, man. Some of it's cultural, you know? Italians and stuff tend to shout and yell.

And now I'm really disciplined about it. My wife and I, we really like each other anyway. We don't fight a lot. If we do, it. My wife and I we really like each other anyway We don't fight a lot if we do it's a disagreement and we'll just keep it for later I might complain I might say something she'll say saying that's it but mmm Yeah, but I've been guilty of absolutely blowing up in front of my kids It scares us my first set of kids and that's not and we raise your voice Especially I'm a bigger guy so I have have to be even more self conscious of it. So when I like, I was terrified of my dad when he'd get upset, my dad's big.

I was so scared as a kid. And then I was yelling over something they were doing. I could see like, especially Boston's like a little sweet, innocent five year old. You see how scared he is. It's like, oh yeah, I'm fucking Andre the giant compared to him. Of course he's scared. I was being such a, doesn't do anything. Yelling does nothing. It's so stupid. I remember being a dick. I was 14 years old. And I was being a dick to my mother and I was

being a dick to my sister. And I was being a dick in general. And I remember pushing it. I remember I was testing my dad. I can remember this. 14 is different though. And my father just went like this my father I can't remember how it goes, but I remember he smacked the table and he goes you say another word I'll break your fucking neck. Yeah, I never say heard him say fuck well 14 any point I mean, I was like I was like, oh, I'm not moving dude. You know if a poison snake is right there I remember just going I didn't move. I was like yeah, cuz I was like oh shit

I just pushed my dad to the point where he's I remember just going, I didn't move. I was like, cause I was like, oh shit. I just pushed my dad to the point where he's, and I knew I was wrong. I knew I was being a fucking, to get my dad to do that, I was being a little fucking prick. But you know what I was doing? Poking the bear, seeing how much I could get away with. At 14 though, you can talk to him different.

But under 10, no dude. No, no, no, no, no. No, no way. Hey no. No. No way. Hey, this is from Lee E. Hey, Brian, how close was the 10-minute podcast to getting a revival? Dude, we were thinking about it, we were going to do it. The thing about the 10-minute podcast, is a lot of this is in the moment. It was the zeitgeist. It was when we were at a certain age. We were wild. We were wild.

We were new to the humor with each other. We didn't know each other's humor. We were always surprising each other. What you hear with 10 Minute Podcast was three friends surprising each other with new shit. Now you get older. You know the bag of tricks. It's just what it is.

Yeah. So. You can never recreate that. All that magic Now you get older. You know the bag of tricks. It's just what it is. Yeah. So. You can never recreate that. All that magic and you get busy. Will's on a TV show doing his thing. It's a different time. But man, oh man. That still has a cult following.

Yeah, Chris was just this wild dude with this crystal clear sense of humor. Just fucking doing shit. Yeah, I don't think that was lightning in a bottle. I don't think you'd bring it out. Lightning in a bottle. You guys are older. We also didn't know what we had.

We also had no, we weren't making any money. We didn't think anybody was listening. We didn't have metrics for who was listening. We didn't know. You were just doing it because you loved doing it. Just put it out there. Yeah. It was literally an excuse for the three of us

to be silly and hang out. Literally. We didn't think anything. I was like, this is, well, and all of a sudden, literally, by the way, 10 years later, what is it? 15 years later, you know, getting, getting all this attention. King Kong Gorilla Fingers said, could you guys start doing bits again on the podcast? I think I missed that the most. Yeah.

What kind of bits? Huh? Ask him to tell us for the next time we do Q&A, like what was his favorite bit? Songs and the... Okay. Ask him what his favorite bit was. Get hard and all that stuff.

So the guys would, what kind of bits are you referring to? Here's one from Louis Marine 87. It's kind of for both of you. Brendan, I feel like Brian doesn't get the flowers he deserves as a comedic genius. Why do you think that is? Good question, I like that question. No one champions that more than I do.

And you know, last time we did Q&A, I got upset the way some people treat him. I think it is partly on Brian, like he's so silly, he would never enforce that, you know what I'm saying? But once you talk to him to me know he knows more about comedy than 99% of the guys you follow on fucking Twitter YouTube Parvish is Brian's personality like he's never he's just not that guy and then some some of these comics people look up to my Come my god, you know what Brian would do to him on stage. You know, it's just part

It's part of Brian's silly personality where? to him on stage. You know, it's just part, it's part of Brian's silly personality where like obviously his friends take him serious, but I think the public since Brian's so silly all the time, they don't take him serious maybe. So it might be that where, but he should be put in the contention with the top 10 guys. You know, I've said that since day one, you know, thank you. But he doesn't care. You know, he doesn't, he's silly. Look at you. But he doesn't care. You know, he doesn't, he's silly. Look at him. I just do my comedy. Look at him.

Look at him. He's silly. I just do my comedy. So I think it's part of that. What are you doing to think about it? Like, ah, it's Brian. No, I know, I know it's Brian. He's one of the best doing it. You know, I won, I remember I won some wrestling award.

I like, I, you know, my senior. Oh, and this is part of the problem too. He talks about old fighting. No, no, no, but I won this thing. I was, it was the L. Todd Duncan award. I like I, you know, my seat here. Oh, and this is part of the problem too. He talks about old fighting. No, no, no. But I, I won this thing. I, I was, it was the L Todd Duncan award. It was like sort of very outstanding wrestling. I, I did, tied some, I tied six school records, didn't break one of them, but it was just, whatever. There was this award they gave me

and my buddy goes, watch Brian walk to the, cause that kind of stuff, I, for whatever reason, like apparently I was dressed, you know, everybody's dressed in a suit because that kind of stuff, for whatever reason, like apparently I was dressed, everybody's dressed in a suit, what was I dressed in, you know? Sweats, right? Yeah, walking with my hands in my pocket,

shuffling along. It's a personality thing. It's not because I'm more virtuous, it's not because I'm better, I'm just personality. I just, I don't know. That's the part of my brain that's still playing with crayons. Yeah.

Advertising and being good at it, so I don't know. Okay. Maybe I feel, maybe I the part of my brain that's still playing with crowns. Yeah. Advertising and being good at this. I don't know. Okay. Maybe I feel, maybe I, maybe I always think of myself in the grand pantheon of things and feel rather, uh, insignificant in that general thing. I don't fucking know. IBD Joey wants to know what sparked Brendan's journey into the off road racing world and building trucks. Also, can we have info on the next giveaway?

As far as building trucks, I mean, I got my TRX before that at a Raptor. My first car, one of them was a F-150 Flair side. So I've always liked trucks and then I've always messed with my cars, but never really made like a big deal out of it. And then when I had my TRX that thing got up to a thousand horsepower and then I flipped it and the off-road community reached out especially Matt who runs you know the mint 400 and the parker and all that stuff he's like man let's teach you how to really drive get you you know some seat time under your belt

then I started getting the off-road world and they so cool. And then it just opens up a whole fricking Pandora's box and like off road, you know, modifications with the suspension and the long travel and the King shocks and Kibbe tech. And also it's like this whole world and I was like, Oh my God, I've been missing all this stuff. So that's what I get into. Um, and then I had not doing standup like during the day when the kids were at school, I have time on my hand if I'm not podcasting and I love, you know, mess with my trucks and stuff.

So it just gravitated towards that. And then as far as the next giveaway, we're building it right now. It's a TRX last call and we have, it's basically a, uh, the same version as my yellow one. You guys see it won't have 1300 horsepower, but it's going to have a significant amount and it has the wide body carbon fiber fenders has the kibbit tech, kibbit tech, long range travel suspension on it. The King shocks. Um, my friend at jokers is ported in the blower and doing a throttle

body and Chris Bailey's helping tune it. So it's going to be dope. And that will drop in, should be ready mid April, end of April. You guys want to do one more? Sure. Close it out. Yep. Okay.

This question comes from an Instagram name. That's just a bunch of letters, but it says, will you two ever do a sprint rematch? Uh, I don't think he and I raced. It was Chappelle and Brennan. Yeah. That was when Brennan was on. We raced at the Improv with Delph. Yeah, and you were a little faster.

Yeah, but no, I don't think- Big man, a lot of speed. No one here is fighting each other, no one's sprinting against each other. Sprinting is when you're sprinting, unless you've warmed up is no joke because you're going to pull something. I learned the hard way. Yeah. Boy, did you ever.

Yeah, man, that hurt. And I had to do a Tough Mudder like two weeks later. That was a dark time. That was a dark time. Those are some tough days. I think you were on all the Adderall. Yep. Yeah.

Bad idea. Bad idea. Which really. When you're on all the Adderall, you're going to be like, hey, I can do anything. Yeah, yeah. It's a bad idea. I was like, I don't think you're. Yeah, you called it, bud.

Yeah. No more of that. Is that it, Snuzz? Yep. That's it, Chin Chin? Well, kids, we called it bud. Yeah, no more of that. Is that it's nice. Yeah, that's it chin chin kids. We did so alright kids We love ya Yeah, we're gonna be be I'll see you in Philadelphia you're in Philly at Philly at helium comedy club. Let's go great club. Love it.
