"You don't have an elite fighter's movement"
"Lots of apprehension in your movement"
"There's shit other people can do you can't do"
"I worry about your commitment to fighting"
"I think you have one foot out the door"
"I think you're looking at where the future is going to take you and that you can't do this forever"
"The reality of your skill set where it is now, I don't see you being elite guys"
"I think you'd get ****** up in wrestling"
"There's a bridge between you and the very best guys in the world"
"Are you comfortable possibly getting KO'd 5-6 more times in the next 3-4 years if it doesn't involve championship status?"
"Hendricks and Cruz came off still being elite and fluid after a long break unlike you against Arlovski; it was obvious what you were attempting to do to him and you were predictable against Arlovski and couldn't close the deal with him when he was as white as he was ever gonna get"
"If I'm a guy who's a talent scout, based on those performances, I wouldn't say you're there"
"Your strong ego doesn't allow you to look at yourself the way others do to you and evaluate yourself honestly"
I know it's harsh but you can tell he's saying it out of genuine love/care for Schaub. It's an exercise in weighing cost benefits against Brendan's skill level. Went on a huge tangent on brain damage too.
Brendan: "You were shitting on me a little bit"
Hogan: "If I were, I'd have been a lot harder on you"
"Unfinished business causes fighters the worst heartbreaks of their lives"
Schaub: "You guys have sent me damn near the road of depression" (Half-jokingly)
Schaub: "Independent of your (Joe/Bryan) input, I was thinking of hanging it up in 2 years or 4 more fights, maybe cut to 205"
S: "Joe it's easy for you to sit there with 12m dollars to say stop doing it"
Hogan: "It's always going to be easier for me/someone on the outside whether they're broke or not"

Schaub: "I don't know if we should've recorded this podcast"
Hogan: "You said you wanted to do it; should we not have been honest? Not my idea to do this live. You wanted to do this."
Schaub: "100% - not blaming you."
Hogan: "No other way to tell someone you're concerned without brutal honesty. You're in a transitional phase - if you say you're going 2 more years, you're looking at the end."
Schaub: "It's a plan, not just an end. From a smart guy. That's one way to look at it."
Hogan: "Do you think JDS and Cain are looking at it like 2 more years?"
Hogan: "You're also coming off a state of discomfort. You probably didn't anticipate how it would feel when you said you wanted to have this conversation on air."
Hogan: "For a guy like you with an elite ground game to get flattened on the ground, there's something wrong"
Schaub: "Travis told me 'That's what you get for talking shit' when the fight ended, then we cleared the air backstage"
