On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen sit down with comedian Nick Simmonsfor a wide-ranging conversation that hits fitness culture, aging, and the thin line between jokes and bad ideas.
The guys also talk about why Sydney Sweeney has become the internet’s current IT girl, how celebrity momentum actually works, and why certain stars dominate culture at the right moment. Later, they react to Sal Vulcano’s TikTok disaster and why short-form content can be brutal for comedians when things go sideways.
From gym talk and testosterone jokes to pop culture dominance and social media pile-ons, this episode covers exactly why nothing stays casual once the mics are on.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
