Brendan Schaub
Brendan Schaub is a former UFC heavyweight fighter turned podcaster and self-described comedian whose spectacular failure in stand-up comedy has made him a perennial subject for podcast critics, particularly Karl Hamburger's Who Are These Podcasts?. As the co-host of The Fighter and the Kid with Bryan Callen and host of multiple podcasts under his Thiccc Boy network, Schaub became infamous for two comedy specials -- You'd Be Surprised (2019) and The Gringo Papi (2022) -- that are widely considered among the worst ever produced. His pattern of stealing jokes, mangling the English language in a style mockingly called 'Schaubanese,' and wildly exaggerating his comedy career success has made him a goldmine for critics in the broader podcast criticism ecosystem.
