[@somdutroy]

@artiew87 There are compilations of Brendan saying different things to celebs to their faces and behind them. He said he is not a Tyson fan and he does not give an f about what Mike says about boxing. But in his food truck with Mike Tyson, he was like, "everyone is a Mike Tyson fan, whenever you say something about Boxing, everyone listens". Schaub is the definition of two-face. Even Gaethje called him out on his BS on his show. Schaub does it countless times. Add to that, he steals contents from all over KZbin without giving credits. Only legit excuse Schaub has is, "I am dumb. I forget what I said. I have CTE". Everything else would be nothing but lies.

Ariel has every right to defend an attack against his character, Brendan should of really done the right thing and apologized.

[@blakeb9964]

Especially because he was straight up lying. He was jealous that showtime gave him the gig for the Jake Paul fight. They're getting rid of him so they didn't want him anywhere near there. A jealous little liar.

That intro music was actually fantastic! I love that older Uptown sound, the horns and the drums are upbeat. In my opinion it is perfect. I appreciate your content and appreciate you as a journalist. I also love your sense of humor, I get it, and you do not flip flop your opinion to please anyone, you have balls, and I love all of the crazy interviews over the years. You never back down, and I love it! True David and Goliath situations, and I hate bullies. You are the GOAT at the desk my man.
