The Fighter & The Kid

Nick Simmons returns to The Fighter and The Kid for an episode that immediately goes off the rails. The guys bounce between insane documentary talk, the Helen Keller debate, wild historical conspiracies, Bryan losing his grip on reality, and commentary on some of the strangest true stories ever recorded. Nick reacts in real time as Brendan and Bryan spiral into: • The shocking new doc everyone is talking about • Historical figures with unbelievable mythology • The Helen Keller argument that breaks the room • Conspiracy rabbit holes from JFK files to intelligence agencies • Bryan’s deteriorating confidence mid-episode • Absurd hypotheticals that derail every conversation Every five minutes the show explodes into a new tangent — political confusion, celebrity scandals, bizarre news stories, coffin-waking nightmares, mustache dictators, and existential panic. This is TFATK in its purest form: chaotic, hilarious, and completely out of control.

Timmy No Brakes joins The Fighter & The Kid to break down the real story behind his Kill Tony rise, Austin comedy journey, and the online backlash that turned him into a “villain.” Timmy talks about: • Kill Tony exploding his career • How a misnamed hometown became a running bit • Getting passed at The Comedy Mothership • Why internet fans accused him of being an “industry plant” • How sudden attention created self-doubt • Being misunderstood as a character comic • Learning to perform outside his persona • Dating & confidence issues tied to his stage identity • Acting Off bits and using discomfort as fuel Brendan and Bryan dive into how Timmy handles being polarizing, why Kill Tony launches some comics into chaos, and how Austin comedy evolves talent fast.

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.

On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen sit down with comedian Kurt Metzger for one of the most unhinged, hilarious, and unexpectedly deep conversations in show history. From wild conspiracy theories, to Kundalini symbolism, to “wizard schools” in Austin, the crew dives into everything from secret levels above the President to whether magic, evil, and power structures are actually connected. Kurt breaks down books like Tragedy and Hope, cosmic-level clearance, and why some people believe the world is run by forces way beyond what we see publicly. The guys also riff on:The ‘33 spine/Jesus’ symbolismWhy some elites believe in magic & ritualsBlood sacrifice & historical warsUnderground bases & hidden roomsWho REALLY runs the worldLevels of power above the U.S. PresidentAustin “wizard schools”The psychology of pure evilKurt’s viral rap bit & comedy breakdowns All mixed with nonstop jokes, roast battles, and classic TFATK chaos.
