During a recent appearance on the Jaxxon Podcast, former UFC competitor turned comedian Brendan Schaub found himself addressing an unexpected rumor about his living situation in Texas. The lighthearted interrogation came courtesy of hosts Bear Degidio and Rampage Jackson, who weren’t about to let the topic slide without some playful investigation.
The rumor in question? That Schaub had moved into Joe Rogan’s guest house after relocating to Texas. The suggestion seemed to catch Schaub off guard, prompting genuine laughter and a quick denial. “What? No, I heard. Wait, I thought that’s the rumor. Wait, you heard this?” Schaub responded, clearly amused by the speculation.
The hosts pressed further, with one jokingly suggesting that Schaub was “teaching the Secret Service” and had been “hired like Anderson teaches the White House cops” for “hand to hand combat.” This only added to the absurdity of the moment, with Schaub playing along while firmly setting the record straight.
“I wish, bro. I wish,” Schaub laughed. “You ever seen his house? I wish I lived in the backyard. No, I got my own house. Yeah, I’m in Austin. Outside Austin. I’m Lake Travis.”
When the hosts continued their playful skepticism, Schaub clarified the geography: “He lives on Lake Austin. I live on Lake Travis.” Still not entirely convinced, one host quipped, “Yeah, that’s what they all say,” to which Schaub responded with good humor, “I wish I lived in his backyard.”
Schaub and Rogan have a close relationship, with Schaub speaking warmly about the podcast giant. “That’s my guy,” he said, noting that despite some past tension, their friendship remained strong. He even shared how Rogan had recently given him UFC tickets, showing unexpected generosity by providing four instead of the promised two.
Schaub went on to praise Rogan’s influence on MMA, calling him “the most listened to person in the world daily and weekly” and emphasizing how “all he talks about is MMA and loves MMA and is still hosting the UFC show.” Additionally, Schaub credited Rogan with putting “MMA in a different stratosphere just by being involved with the sport.”
