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.

The episode dives into old-school comedy values, the fear of losing your audience, how culture and social media have changed stand-up, and why real creativity often comes from slowing down instead of forcing output. A thoughtful, funny conversation with one of comedy’s most recognizable voices.

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.
