Brody Stevens Couldn't Accept That People Loved Him | Joe Rogan and Brendan Schaub

Being a comedian and also being funny in person, it's a little bit of a difference. It's different. Some people are just funny. Like Richard Jennings, who's in my mind one of the best comedians of all time. He was always a real somber in person. He's never really serious. He's depressed, which is why he killed himself. He just wasn't happy. This wasn't uncomfortable in his own skin. There's comedians like that now, even at this store somewhere you meet him, you're like, oh wow, you're very serious. How about Brody? You know? Brody. He wasn't that serious, or at least around me, the few times when I was around him, he was fun. He would get dark. He would get dark. I didn't know that one enough. I don't know if you can pretend I did. He would get sad. But around me, he was always very cool. Yeah, I mean, I think guys like you and I, one thing, especially coming from athletics, coming from martial arts, you're more likely to suck it up and you're more likely to not give in to the negative demons, and you're also more likely to exercise regularly. So when you see someone who's struggling with something they shouldn't be struggling with, you're like, but you're good. It's frustrating. Hey, you're good though. I know, it's frustrating. Why are you bummed out? You're fucking really good. Like if you are doing really good as a comic, you know, you'll call me up and you'll say, I'm probably fucking killed tonight. It was amazing. I had such a great set of, like, that's great. That's awesome. Yeah, but it's not bragging with you. No, no, no, no, no. It's happiness. It's happiness. I tell you because I know you relate to it. So Brody, who was a murderer, you could never say he was great. You could never say like Brody, you fucking kill me. He would like skirt around like Rogan, always supportive. Rogan, always got my back. It would always deflect it. He never, I don't think he wanted to, I don't think he wanted to accept the fact that people loved him. Like when, you know, when he would have a great set, it would almost like, it wouldn't elevate him. Like some guys get off, like Hinchcliffe, Hinchcliffe will murder, he'll get off stage, he'll be like, whoa. Yeah, you'll come in the career where the cop starts, his eyes will be giant, he'll high five everybody. I love that. He's feeling it, you know, but Brody didn't get like that. You know, and I'm not saying Theo's the same in any regards to what Brody was suffering with, but you know, Theo has his demons, whatever. It's very, it's out there. I'm not outing. Theo's the same way where he'll do a set. I'm like, dude, that's one of the best things I've ever seen, man. I'm like, get the fuck, stop, get the fuck. I'm like, no, no, no, Tony, it's so good, dude. It's a version of it. Correct. I mean, Theo's got his own version. It's not as extreme as it was. Everyone has their monsters. Yeah, but like a guy like you or me, we're very, you're goal oriented. You're trying to get better at things. You see things. That's how you got good at jiu-jitsu. That's how you got good at fighting. That's how you get good at comedy. Everything you want to get good at, you get good at by focusing on it and setting goals and trying to get better and better. And when you do get better, you celebrate. You enjoy it. Yes. It's fun. It's exciting. It's fun. They don't, they don't ever get those highs. Those highs just don't exist.
