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.

This Would Never Work in Fighting | TFATK Ep. 1155

On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, the guys break down why real competition is disappearing and why that mindset would never survive in fighting. From youth sports and pay-to-play systems to discipline, pressure, and toughness, the conversation turns into a blunt discussion about how fighters are built differently and why you can’t fake competition. Using examples from sports, training, and life, they explain why struggle matters, why comfort creates weakness, and why old-school mentalities still dominate in MMA and comedy.

Invited Hitler on the show.

The Only Opinion That Matter

The sporadic high on drugs comic (I use that word loosely) with too little sleep spewing points that had no ending to jump into another story. Kurt Metzger didn’t talk about how Jewish people are behind every bad thing in the world. I guess he wanted to save that for Jimmy Dore Show. Keep up the good work boys. Callen did try and to get Kurt to finish a story only to have Kurt go into 2 other stories after being asked to finish the original point.
Show is awful now.

Has moments of greatness and slop.. love when Bryan gets deep and tells old stories .. can’t stand when Brendan interrupts… Brendan can be funny when he’s not trying to be too serious , he usually has a funny relatable / guys-guy take on super basic things but hearing him try to go deep into conspiracies/ true crime / politics is unbearable … but at least they didn’t take Saudi blood money , #respect
