Summary

In this episode of The Fighter and the Kid, Brendan and Bryan sit down with comedian and wrestler Nick Simmons, who joins right as the guys finally address the years of Reddit hate, online criticism, and the wild narratives fans have created about the show.

They dive into the hilarious but eye-opening ways women underestimate real strength, why self-defense fantasies don’t match physics, and how pepper spray, bear spray, and knives work in real-world scenarios.

Nick shares his insane PCP pandemic home-intruder story — including the break-ins, the stairwell fight, the loose slice of pizza, and the moment the cops let the guy go… right before he bit one officer’s nose and an EMT’s Achilles tendon.

They compare this to the Anthony Smith intruder fight, breaking down why meth and PCP shut off the “governor” in the brain and create freak-level strength.

From there, the guys get into Mongolian and Polynesian genetics, strength competitions, football concussions, stingers, and the brutal gap between normal athletes and genetic freaks.

Nick also opens up about moving from NYC to Austin, meeting his girlfriend’s intimidating dad, being a regular at iconic NYC clubs, and the new comedic grind of trying to get passed at The Comedy Mothership.

The guys finish by roasting each other’s outfits, shoes, and the chaos of performing comedy while your friends try to mess with your head backstage.

A funny, honest, chaotic episode with one of the best young comics in Austin.
