Brendan Schaub: From Football Player & UFC Fighter To Comedian & Podcaster

Kids give you a different perspective on things, man. You know, I might be stressed about work or something, I come home, and that stuff goes out the window. There's nothing better than being a dad.

A lot of people in podcasting, because it's the thing in 2023, is they look at YouTube ... Audio is king. For the most part, people listen to podcasts on the way to work, or when they're at the office. Nobody is sitting down watching a podcast for two hours or three hours or however long your podcast is. Audio is key.

The other thing I would say, too, as far as business... I've never done anything for money, ever. I do it because I love to do it, and it's fun for me, and it's what I want to do. And if it makes money, fantastic. Man, that's great.

There's a common theme in my life: It's like I get put in the deep, man. It goes 0 to 100 in every aspect of my life. It's just this common theme throughout my entire career—whether it's comedy, football, fighting, whatever it is, podcasting. I get thrown in the deep end, and I got to figure it out.

You don't get to a certain level without getting a lot of haters. You just don't. If you look at Logan Paul, Drake, LeBron James; name some the massive celebrities that we have in this world, and you go online, and you read their comments— Or my buddy Joe Rogan. Nobody gets more hate than that guy.

You can always compare yourself to somebody doing better ... If you're constantly chasing that, comparing yourself to others, that's where the happiness never comes.

I think that subreddit has crossed the point. Not all of them; some of them are actually just funny, and they're fans, and they just show it in a different way ... A lot of them have crossed that boundary where, you know, they hide behind the keyboard, and they want to do evil things, which I just don't understand.

I never stop to smell the roses, ever. It's always what's next? What are we gonna do next? ... I never just stopped and smelled the roses. I'm constantly, constantly pushing. Constantly pushing.

I always see the best in people and society. I don't pay attention to hate ... I gravitate towards positivity.

I don't own a computer ... I'm the anti-technology guy.
