The Fighter & The Kid

You’re stepping into a room where the conversation is already loud, messy, and halfway to a punchline. The Fighter & The Kid is that room, a weekly space where the lines between sports analysis, stand-up comedy, and cultural commentary don’t just blur-they get completely ignored. Hosted by Brendan Schaub, who moves between his past life as a UFC fighter and his current one as a comedian with chaotic ease, each episode feels like catching up with friends who have no filter and even less of a plan. He’s rarely alone, usually bringing in a guest co-host to riff with, which guarantees the dynamic-and the topics-shift wildly from week to week. True to its roots, this podcast from Thiccc Boy Studios and PodcastOne is delivered raw and uncut; you hear every tangent, every failed joke, and every unexpected moment of insight exactly as it happened in the studio. It might start with a breakdown of a weekend fight card, veer into a debate about a new movie, and then spiral into something entirely ridiculous. That’s the appeal: it’s a genuine, unfiltered hang. Listening feels less like consuming a structured show and more like grabbing a front-row seat to a conversation you’d actually want to have, where the only rules are to be entertaining and to never, ever take things too seriously.
