Entertainment career

Podcasting

In 2013, Schaub and Bryan Callen started their podcast titled The Fighter and the Kid. The shows were produced by FOX network until a contract dispute in 2016. They then left the network and began producing the podcast themselves. Schaub and Callen also began touring to perform shows that were a mix between a live podcast and duo stand-up comedy act.[36]

In December 2016, Schaub launched a solo podcast, titled Big Brown Breakdown.[37] The podcast focuses on topics related to combat sports, mainly mixed martial arts.[38]

On the January 30 episode of Big Brown Breakdown, Schaub generated controversy when he suggested that the UFC On Fox panel of presenters had been selected based on race for the sake of diversity. "Sometimes you look at UFC Tonight and you're like, 'Alright, is that the best panel possible? Or are you just trying to check off the boxes?'" Schaub questioned. "We get it, UFC Tonight FOX, you're not racist. We get it, you have an all-black panel. We get it. Woah, we get it. We get it, man."[39]

In February 2018, Schaub partnered with Showtime to rebrand his solo podcast to the name "BELOW THE BELT with Brendan Schaub". They also released a web show of the same name where Schaub would serve as the host.[40]

On December 21, 2018, Schaub and Theo Von announced the creation of a new podcast titled "King and the Sting". On January 13, 2022, Schaub and Von added Chris D'Elia to the podcast, renaming it to "King and the Sting and Wing".[41]

On November 4, 2022, "King and the Sting and Wing" was officially renamed "The Golden Hour", with Erik Griffin replacing Theo Von.[42]

In September 2023, Schaub and Callen publicly stated that Kast Media and its CEO Colin Thomson owed their production company $1.5-1.6 million dollars. Similar claims were made by Jim Cornette followed by Theo Von, Jason Ellis, Whitney Cummings, and Alyx Weiss, who stated they were owed money by Kast Media, including several six-figure and seven-figure shortages. This was in the process of an acquisition of Kast Media by PodcastOne, where Thomson was offering creators partial reimbursement combined with stock options. Amid the news, LiveOne and PodcastOne stock dropped considerably and the company no longer planned to officially hire Thomson. LiveOne took out a high-interest loan to pay Schaub, but did not compensate other creators.[43][44][45][46][47]

Entertainment news co-hosting the after-shows of the Golden Globes, Academy Awards, Emmy Awards, People's Choice Awards, and Grammy Awards.[57] Also in 2018, Schaub began serving as a panelist for the television show Bravo's Play-By-Play on Bravo network.Шаблон:Citation needed Schaub made his second feature film appearance in the 2020 David Ayer movie The Tax Collector.
