I am Brendan Schaub AKA 'Big Brown', podcaster/entertainer/former UFC fighter/coffee connoisseur I am Bryan Callen, actor/comedian/podcaster. Together, we're The Fighter and The Kid. Ask us anything! I am

Huge fan guys!

Easy question - if Rogan doesn't renew with the UFC, would you two be interested in regular fight companions for EVERY PPV event with Eddie as well?

Fight Companions with the original crew are my favorite thing to do out of all my jobs. so much fun!

Schaub, what up with the hair?

just felt like mixing it up. having fun

just felt like mixing it up. having fun

Hey Brendan and Bryan. I've been wanting to ask you guys this question for a while. Is having a big dick a requirement to be a big dick bandit? Or will my stroke, confidence and overall thrusting power make up for it?

nah, its an attitude my man

nah, its an attitude my man

hey guys! huge fan of your podcast. would you consider making a retro fight companion leading up to ufc 200? i would love to hear you discuss the first ufc events.

def will do something special for UFC 200. not sure about a retro one tho

Brendan, What are your top lifts in the weight room? Bryan never mind.

bench was 225 28 times, deadlift 600+, pull ups was 34 straight arm. the rest i dont remeber exactly.

why do you guys think that you click so well and how does your relationship make for an entertaining podcast?

Also patiently waiting for that east coast tour.

not sure just the chemistry with bryan was right from the start although hes 50. def coming to the east coast in May for the tour

Hi Brendan, long time listener here.

Do you guys have anything planned from Europe? As someone who lives in The Netherlands I would love to see one of your shows.

yes! not sure where exactly for the international tour yet we will keep you posted

yes! not sure where exactly for the international tour yet we will keep you posted

Huge fan of both of you guys. I listen to so much TFAK and JRE that I feel like I know you both personally which leads me to my question:

How do you manage the interaction you have with fans who I assume, like me, feel like we know you both so well that in person interactions as well as correspondence via social media must be strange. Have you had any crazies or stalkers or anything like that at all?

ALSO.. how can I get a Scrooge McDuck shirt???

we feel like we know you guys so its not strange or scary at all when we meet fans of the show. its actually amazing. scrooge Mcduck i will keep u posted on the show im gonna release them but not make a big deal of it for many reasons.

Why dosnt Bryan sing at the beginning of the podcasts anymore?

cant force a grown man to sing

What's your biggest beef with Reebok?

Design flaws? Fighter compensation?

What would you do to fix it?

a combo of both but obvisouly fighter pay is numero uno. its just awful and the fighters cant do anything about it. when the ufc signed that deal it set the sport back several years

Big Brown! Big fan of you guys, thanks for being a couple of badasses.

My question for BBrown.. How bad did it mess you up when Rogan blasted the infamous "I think YOU'D be surprised" line? I remember seeing the podcast live and just being in awe that Rogan would say that live, but I think it was a positive impact on you. Would you say you retired because of it?

Q for Callen.. If you could have anybody alone for a night, who would it be and why is it Joe Rogan

no, a lot of people think i retired cause of Rogan. Anyone that knows me knows im not influenced very easily. even tho rogan is a super close friend. it was more the perfect storm of evrything. rogan, reebok, Dana, podcast success. just wasnt worth it to fight anymore.

Brendan, if there were to be a UFC fighters' union, would you consider a leadership position in it?

no, i dont have time. thats a serious full time gig. good luck for anyone that takes it on. id help for sure.

Hey guys long time fan of yours. I wanted to ask Brendan if the UFC were to offer a 5 million dollar fight with Fedor would you do it? Or is it not worth it at this point.

id would do that for sure lol

Hey guys,

Has the podcast ever come close to being canceled for one reason or another? if so, how was it saved?

no never. we own the show just are under the fox banner for distribution. we did cancel a show one time cause the guest was so damn creepy and lame

Brendan, I'm a 19 year old from Maryland with high school wrestling who wants to get into mma, I know in a previous podcast you had recommended to someone else that they start with one discipline to start, what do you recommend I start with and why?

try stand up and see if you gravitate towards it. a lot of wrestlers dont.

Any chance you two homosexuals are coming too toronto? (Canada)

yep! 2016 canada tour eh!

First off congratulations Bryan for finally mentioning the Ten Minute Podcast on the F&K, only took you over 100 episodes.

Question: When Bryan is too old to do the podcast in 5-6 years will you let Will Sasso replace him? The Fighter and The Man is my favorite podcast.

love sasso but he aint young either

Brendan: Growing up, who were your favourite athletes?

Bryan: What inspired you to get into comedy?

Love the podcast and the fight companions, keep them up!!

junior seau, ryan sandberg, and dan Marino. random as fuck i know

What's up Big Dick Bandits? Excited as fuck for the live show at The Comedy Store. Thanks for the many hours of free entertainment you guys have provided me with to kill time at work and look like a complete maniac when laughing hysterically by myself

1. Will there be an encore VIP event for the LA show like the rest? Didn't see that option when I bought my tickets

2. When's the Scrooge McDuck and Team Honeydick shirts dropping?

3. Bryan, you killed it when you came to Ventura along with Joe. Just wanted to know if you were aware that that scumbag promoter charged us extra for M&G? Fuck that guy

4. Tell Netflix to quit fuckin around and drop the special already. SHIT!!

Can't wait to see you 1, 2, cutie pies in Feb. Shout out to Special K and Evan The Beard

TFATK ARMY!!!

appreiate the support my man. comedy store in LA doesnt do VIP stuff since its a smaller venue but we will hang afterwords for pics, whateva

Long term, what do you want to accomplish in the entertainment industry?

micheal Strahan is the blue print

Do you have any big moves for 2016? More merch, live tours etc

yes more merch, west coast tour, mid west, canada, and eaast coast tour is all in 2016 along with the F&TK 3D episodes which im most excited about

Can you give any advice to a brotha interested in pursuing training MMA?

depends on your age but find one aspect of MMA you like ex. wrestling, BJJ, Boxing. do that first see if you even like that

Yo big brown and Bryan Luke rockhold callen When you two gonna go international and tour England or do a show over here? would be awesome. Anyways huge fan, keep up the amazing work, you two funny motherfuckers haha

we are coming m8! thanks for the support

Cruz vs TJ who you got ?

i like TJ i think cruz has had too much injuries and time off

What does Luke Rockhold smell like?

heaven and success

Why did you make hoodies so limited?, I want one!:)

we are releasing more soon. i like making things limited cause if everyone can have one then its not cool.

Big Brown, admit it, was a part of you not slightly stoked to see Ronda get humbled?

i wouldnt say stoked. i felt more sad then anything that girl has a lot of pressure being who she is and i dont envy her stress or relationships that come with being her. such a beast. hope shes happy regardless, ya know?

Brendan why did u choose to get into mma instead of boxing?

boxing is a science that has been around so long i started so late i figured i could get to the top of mma faster. plus, money ini boxing is so so rough unless youre a monster.

Hey Brendan. Are you still training MMA (ala GSP) or are you over it all?

Also who's your most hated UFC fighter? ;)

i do more cardio and heavy lifting now. i still do BJJ a lot but no boxing or wrestling. i just dont have the time now with eberything going on. most hated? no one to be honest. for real. i like everyone.

So what was the deal with the drama between "The Fighter and the Kid" and "mmaroasted" podcast?

no drama. i think its more on mma roasted end. adam is a good guy.i think if people focused more on their own stuff and less anger towards people they want to be they would have more success. thats not for Adam im not even sure they still do the show. that advice for is for people in general.

Hi guys I'm a big fan

For Brendan what is the actual name of your hair colour? I like it and respect it for what it's worth

for Bryan what age did you first try stand up and did you want to be a comedian or an actor or both back in the day? Also would you guys ever consider a live show in the UK? (Despite your hate of travelling)

i think its platnium white my man

You guys always exude so much confidence on the podcast. I'd like to know what you guys are most insecure or self conscious about yourselves?

self conscious of being a failure. its all i think about and is why i work so much. its an issue.

Sup Guys can't wait to see you next week in Portland!

When are your video series for fox coming out? When is Callen gonna release his netflix special?

For sure would have bought it for my friends this year!

i would guess march or before. we finish shooting in feb

How much better is life without the stress of fighting? Is there anything new going on now that's just as stressful?

i feel like im actually able to live life now. i cant believe how things turned out. craziness. different stress now with shows and podcasting, def stressed tho
