The Fighter & The Kid

A cowboy-hat-wearing bystander becomes an unlikely hero in Idaho, taking down an active shooter at a shopping mall before police even arrive, and Bryan Callen and Brendan Schaub break down why his story deserves way more attention than it's getting.
On this episode of The Fighter and the Kid, the guys also dig into the Bryan Kohberger case, reacting to the emotional victim impact statements from the Idaho murders trial and debating whether his guilty plea robbed the families of real answers. They also unpack a new documentary about Charles Manson's granddaughter, revisit the Tex Watson murders, and question how much of the Helter Skelter story was ever true.
From there, Bryan and Brendan go off on Dr. Fauci, gain-of-function research, and the Covid-era decisions they say destroyed small businesses and public trust, plus Kyrie Irving's vaccine mandate comments and the fallout that followed. They also rank celebrity Brazilian jiu jitsu black belts, question whether Jonah Hill could really throw down, roast a rough WNBA All-Star Game, break down viral footage of boxer King Green sparring, and react to a window cleaner's tense run-in with an angry tenant that went viral online.
