The Fighter & The Kid

Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen are back with another episode of The Fighter and The Kid, covering everything from Hollywood politics to fight talk and current events.
The guys break down how Hollywood blacklisting really works, referencing actors like Mel Gibson and how the industry can quietly shut people out behind the scenes. They also get into a deeper conversation about cancel culture, media narratives, and how public perception is shaped.
Outside of Hollywood, Schaub and Callen dive into a wide range of topics including cultural shifts, controversial discussions around rising autism diagnoses, and their unfiltered thoughts on what’s really going on today.
As always, they mix in fight talk, UFC insights, and stories from the road, keeping the conversation loose, funny, and unpredictable.
If you’re into MMA, comedy podcasts, and real conversations that go off script, this episode delivers.

Brendan Schaub, Bryan Callen, and guest Josh Wolf get real about TRT (testosterone replacement therapy), aging, and what actually happens when you start.
They break down the difference between “bro science” and medically supervised TRT, including energy levels, recovery, libido, and overall health. Callen explains why he started TRT despite already being in shape, while Schaub shares mistakes he made early on without proper bloodwork.
The conversation also dives into how hormones affect performance, mental clarity, and daily life—plus whether TRT is becoming more common for men as they age.
On top of that, the guys get into hilarious and wild stories from the road, including chaotic comedy club moments and real-life situations you can’t make up.
If you’re curious about TRT, fitness, aging, or just love unfiltered comedy podcasts, this episode hits everything.

The guys also react to Druski facing backlash and potential legal action over his viral parody, leading to a bigger discussion around comedy, cancel culture, and freedom of speech.
Beyond UFC and MMA, they get into America’s obesity crisis, diet trends, and shocking health statistics, along with a heated debate about whether a military draft could change discipline and society.
From fight analysis to cultural takes, this episode covers it all.
