FULL

On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, Bryan Callen sits down with comedian Jim Breuer for a wide-ranging conversation about stand-up, creativity, and life on the road.

Danny From Kill Tony Tells His Wild Edmonton Stories | TFATK Ep. 1145

FULL

Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen are joined by Danny Martinello, the Edmonton comic who went viral on Kill Tony after winning the MSG joke-off. Danny breaks down the pressure, the crowd, the adrenaline, and the moment he realized he had to win. Brendan recaps his insane Texas hunting trip — from almost shooting a $14,000 trophy buck, learning the difference between whitetail and axis deer, night-vision hog hunting, and getting schooled by Marines on how tags and ranch rules work. The guys compare venison, Wagyu, backstrap cuts, and why hunters hit or miss the “gland” that ruins the meat. Danny shares insane Alberta stories: oil field life at –36°F, dangerous CO₂ leaks, refinery evacuations, and blue-collar comedy shows in smoke pits underground. Then the show turns into wild biker tales, including run-ins with gangs, Hells Angels, and some of the funniest (and craziest) stories Bryan has ever told on the podcast. This episode goes from hunting… to drugs… to dogs… to biker gangs… to space… to testosterone levels… all in classic TFATK chaos.

Nobody at 170 Can Beat Islam — TFATK Breaks Down the Truth | TFATK Ep. 1140

FULL

Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen dive into a massive week across fighting, comedy, and culture — starting with Islam Makhachev’s dominance at welterweight and why nobody in the top 10 can solve the problem at 170. From Shavkat, Ian Garry, Michael Morales, and Belal Muhammad to Tsarukyan and Ilia Topuria potentially moving divisions, the boys break down every realistic path to beating Islam. Brendan also recaps Tiger’s elite Texas flag football team — a squad of freak athletes, former NFL-dad genetics, and opponents who look “twelve going on Saquon Barkley.” They talk youth sports intensity, insane matchups, and playing at Dallas Cowboys facilities. Then the guys react to UFC 322: Shevchenko vs Zhang, JDM vs Islam, the wild grappling chess match, Craig Jones’ prep, and what it really takes to close distance on a Dagestani wrestler. The episode takes a hard turn when Billie Eilish calls out Elon Musk over his wealth. Brendan and Bryan break down why “fixing world hunger” isn’t as simple as writing a check, the realities of global infrastructure, and how celebrity activism often oversimplifies complex issues. Finally, they cover the Aakash Singh situation — viral clips, oversharing, backlash, Myron Gaines’ response, and why internet dog-piling is brutal for comedians. One of the most packed TFATK episodes of the year — fights, drama, comedy, and chaos.
