Summary
Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen dive into a massive week across fighting, comedy, and culture — starting with Islam Makhachev’s dominance at welterweight and why nobody in the top 10 can solve the problem at 170. From Shavkat, Ian Garry, Michael Morales, and Belal Muhammad to Tsarukyan and Ilia Topuria potentially moving divisions, the boys break down every realistic path to beating Islam.
Brendan also recaps Tiger’s elite Texas flag football team — a squad of freak athletes, former NFL-dad genetics, and opponents who look “twelve going on Saquon Barkley.” They talk youth sports intensity, insane matchups, and playing at Dallas Cowboys facilities.
Then the guys react to UFC 322: Shevchenko vs Zhang, JDM vs Islam, the wild grappling chess match, Craig Jones’ prep, and what it really takes to close distance on a Dagestani wrestler.
The episode takes a hard turn when Billie Eilish calls out Elon Musk over his wealth. Brendan and Bryan break down why “fixing world hunger” isn’t as simple as writing a check, the realities of global infrastructure, and how celebrity activism often oversimplifies complex issues.
Finally, they cover the Aakash Singh situation — viral clips, oversharing, backlash, Myron Gaines’ response, and why internet dog-piling is brutal for comedians.
