Brendan Schaub got caught eating his own booger during episode of TFATK

by

In yet another unhygenic moment caught on camera, former UFC star turned comedian and podcaster Brendan Schaub was seen engaging in what appeared to be an unhygienic personal habit during a recent episode of The Fighter and The Kid (TFATK). The incident, which occurred while Schaub was discussing cryptocurrency, has since gone viral, drawing both ridicule and disgust from viewers.

Caught on Camera: The Unappetizing Gesture

During a segment where Schaub was recounting a supposed $200,000 cryptocurrency promotion deal he claimed to have turned down, he was seen subtly bringing his hand to his nose before making a motion that many viewers interpreted as him consuming his own nasal matter. The clip quickly made rounds on social media, where fans dissected the moment frame by frame, leaving little room for ambiguity.

One viral comment read, “If he’s comfortable enough to do this on camera, in a room full of people, imagine the kind of unhinged behavior he engages in at home.” Others joked that Schaub’s podcasting career had reached a new low, both in hygiene and entertainment value.

A Pattern of Questionable Studio Habits

This isn’t the first time Schaub’s behavior in his own studio has come under scrutiny. Former TFATK producer Mark Harley has previously alluded to unprofessional conduct behind the scenes at Thiccc Boy Studios. Now, fans are revisiting prior incidents that suggest Schaub might not be the most considerate studio presence.

One such instance involved Schaub being publicly called out by comedy veteran Howie Mandel for urinating in the sink at Thiccc Boy Studios. Mandel, who first brought up the incident during a fight companion stream, later doubled down on his podcast, displaying a meme from The Fighter and The Kid subreddit that mocked Schaub’s lack of regard for basic restroom etiquette.

“I had to be in the sink one time, it’s a state of emergency,” Schaub defended himself, citing supposed security restrictions around the bathroom that he likened to “Alcatraz.”

Mandel’s trolling, however, didn’t stop there. He continuously referenced the incident throughout the stream, much to the delight of fans who had been clamoring for more mainstream comedians to address Schaub’s controversies. Despite the roasting, Schaub tried to brush off the criticism, stating, “I never entertain it. I don’t like negativity, I’m a positive person… people will take shots at me non-stop, it’ll get them views.”

The Nicotine Pouch Incident

Further fueling the narrative of Schaub’s questionable studio habits is another moment from TFATK in which he was caught spitting out a nicotine pouch mid-conversation and casually tossing it onto the studio floor. Viewers noticed the act, and screenshots circulated across social media, with many questioning the level of professionalism maintained on the show.

One critic wrote, “This guy treats his own studio like a frat house. Peeing in the sink, flicking nicotine pouches on the floor, and now eating boogers? What’s next?”

The Fallout: Silence from Schaub’s Camp

Despite the growing online discussion around these incidents, Schaub and his representatives have remained silent, with no official comment addressing the situation. However, given the viral nature of the booger-eating clip, it seems unlikely that this will be forgotten anytime soon.
