So, what did you guys think of the best comedy special in the last decade?

Brendan Schaub is a former UFC/MMA heavyweight fighter who was pretty good but not good enough to be really elite. He's friends with Joe Rogan, a UFC commentator/podcaster who convinced him to retire and go into podcasting/comedy after humiliating him on a livestream by explaining that he would never be a champion and that he should give up. The title of the standup special, "you'd be surprised" comes from this exchange on Rogan's podcast: >Rogan: What do you think would happen if you fought a top 5 guy? >Schaub: I think people would be surprised >Rogan: You'd be surprised, they would fuck you up

Who is Brendan Schaub?
Glad you asked!
Brendan Schaub is the greatest fighter of all time. He dominated the heavyweight division before branching out to conquer the entertainment world as well. He used to be known as "The Hybrid" because he totally encompasses what it means to be a mixed martial artist. Early in his career he relied on his raw athleticism, but he refined his technique as he progressed as a fighter. Some highlights are when he picked up a clean knockout of the legend Mirko Cro Cop and actually landed the first D'Arce choke in heavyweight history on Matt Mitrione. I could go on for days about Schaubs record as a fighter, but I think it really speaks for itself.
I'm sure you've heard of his podcast before, The Fighter and the Kid (tfatk.com/). TFATK really showcases Brendan's whit and charisma and there is also this little goober named Bryan Callen (the kid). Bryan acts as the foil to Schaub. The show features witty banter and fantastic interviews. Big Brown really creates a relaxed environment and puts his guests at ease. The interviews are like conversations between childhood friends catching up. If you need to find the latest episode, you can always check the top of the iTunes chart ;)
I can't he but be inspired by the man. If you want to know anymore feel free to ask. We all love him around here!
The IMDB comments are the funniest part about that special. Remember when specials were... special, and it wasn't some hack that decided he wanted to do what all his buddies have been doing for years.

>have a chance to watch this douchebag realize his failure as a comic >instead flood the IMDB with inside podcast references so he can claim it was just "haters" "trolls" or fans "making jokes" Yeah. Good job.
