Tim Kennedy on Fighter Pay, Jake Paul vs Joshua, and Life After Fighting | TFATK Ep. 1150 Dec 23, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, Brendan Schaub is joined by Tim Kennedy, who fills in for Bryan Callen, for a deep conversation about fighting, money, and life after competition.

Tim and Brendan break down Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua, why the fight was never competitive, how boxing sells narratives, and why surviving rounds isn’t the same as actually fighting. They also dig into the realities of fighter pay, why so many athletes struggle after retirement, and how money, hunger, and discipline affect performance.

The episode also covers training, toughness, parenting, fitness, cold plunges, health, and why being prepared physically matters more than any doomsday plan. It’s an honest look at combat sports, longevity, and what really matters once the fights are over.

Gringo Papi 2 But With Puppets w/ Nick Simmons | TFATK Ep. 1149 Dec 18, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen are joined by comedian Nick Simmons to talk about why attention spans are completely broken, why nobody watches full podcasts anymore, and how AI and algorithm-driven content have changed comedy and media.

The conversation also turns into a hilarious attempt to pronounce the hardest Russian names in the UFC, breaking down why fight fans love these moments almost as much as the fights themselves.

Along the way, the guys get into clip culture, AI-generated content, Reddit and YouTube commentary, touring realities, and what it takes to stay relevant in an internet that rewards speed over substance.

Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua Is a Horrible Idea | TFATK Ep. 1148 Dec 16, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen break down the news that Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua is actually happening — and why this fight is way more dangerous than people think.

Brendan explains why Anthony Joshua is on a completely different level as a boxer, why the size and power difference matters, and why this matchup shouldn’t even be close. He also talks about why a loss wouldn’t hurt Jake Paul’s brand at all, but why a win would completely flip the boxing world upside down.

They get into why Jake Paul’s past opponents don’t compare, what real heavyweight power looks like, how this fight even came together, and why this is the moment the Jake Paul experiment gets truly tested.

The rest of the episode moves through road stories, hunting talk, sports, and the usual TFATK chaos. Get this episode and all future episodes AD FREE + 2 extended episodes, Fan Questions, exclusive behind the scenes content and more each month at https://www.patreon.com/tfatk

Nick Simmons on TFATK — The Diddy Doc, Helen Keller Debate & Total Chaos | TFATK Ep. 1147 Dec 11, 2025

Show notes

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. Get this episode and all future episodes AD FREE + 2 extended episodes, Fan Questions, exclusive behind the scenes content and more each month at https://www.patreon.com/tfatk

Danny From Kill Tony Tells His Wild Edmonton Stories | TFATK Ep. 1145 Dec 04, 2025

Show notes

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.
