The Fighter & The Kid

Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen debate Josh Hokit vs. Ciryl Gane, react to Kelly Clarkson’s mechanical bird controversy, and talk the scariest horror movies ever on The Fighter and The Kid Episode 1230.
Can Josh Hokit’s wrestling expose Ciryl Gane’s biggest weakness? The guys break down the UFC heavyweight matchup, Hokit’s athletic background, and why his chances could come down to whether he wrestles or tries to trade punches with Gane.
Meanwhile, Bryan has plans to walk into Kingsway and clean house. Brendan wants a camera crew there for entirely different reasons. Halloween costume talk turns into a horror movie debate covering The Black Phone, Sinister, The Exorcist, The Conjuring, and The Blair Witch Project—including the stories behind The Exorcist’s supposedly cursed production. Brendan also shares his takes on Stephen King’s Carrie on Prime Video and Josh Hartnett’s Below on Netflix.
Also on this episode: Kelly Clarkson’s dispute with Brooklyn’s Art of Play and the mechanical bird now carrying a $15 million asking price, Jim Norton’s ruthless call-in advice, viral political clips, and Chin’s story about a pinky ring causing a very unexpected reaction.

Bryan Callen is back from Europe, and Brendan Schaub wastes no time giving him hell. The boys discuss reports surrounding Tim Kennedy’s ambush in the Congo, push back on conflicting details, and share their concern for their longtime friend.
