East to listen to because it’s not over serious but you still get great analysis

Found Brendan through Rogan. This is one of, if not the best, podcast out there. He hits it all. Brendan keeps it engaging, fun, and makes my two hour commute to the hospital (work) much better. I look look forward to my mornings now. Thank you man!

Jlabarbe · Jul 2020

Schaub is hilarious and his fight I.Q is on point. Great mix of comedy and fight breakdowns. His banter with Callen has me crying 😂😂on my commute. Food truck diaries are frickin legit. Keep up the good work!!

If your show is gonna be 2/3 ad reads , at least lump it into the beginning. Fast forwarding every 5 minutes lost you a listener.

Meximo · Sep 2024

Love this show been listening for a while, Even to all the other shows he is connected to. Love hearing his expertise on fighting and such but him saying things about cars and saying he has been a car guy all his life shows his lack of it there. He couldn’t even do his air filter. Sorry bro fellow CO boy here but can’t stand the car talk please stick to the other stuff.
