   Did They Find Noah's Ark?! We Have SO MANY QUESTIONS|TFATK 1238

   The guys debate Josh Hokit vs. Ciryl Gane, break down Jacobe Smith’s wrestling, and talk Tom Cruise, fatherhood, and Hollywood legends. They also react to Johnny Depp’s comeback in EBENEZER, Noah’s Ark scans & discovery claims, Dana White’s press-secretary joke, and Will Smith’s career after the Oscars slap. Bryan Callen tells Brendan Schaub about the Al Pacino encounter he still regrets, and Brendan shares his own Hollywood movie-premiere story. Plus, superhero fatigue, a corgi argument that derails the show, college basketball players scoring in the wrong basket, and tipping culture getting out of control.For more The Fighter and The Kid visit: http://www.fatkz.com/Brendan's Tour Dates: https://www.fatkz.com/brendan-schaub-tour-dates/Bryan’s Tour Dates: https://www.bryancallen.comFollow Brendan on social media:Twitter https://twitter.com/brendanschaubInstagram https://instagram.com/brendanschaubThicccboy YT https://youtube.com/c/thicccboyFollow Bryan on social media:Twitterhttps://twitter.com/bryancallenInstagramhttps://instagram.com/bryancallen“Best Of” series, new episodes drop every Monday https://youtu.be/LqB7FOkLwqsTFATK Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCohZMReM1dQ5BMeYOlr71mAThe Fighter and The Kid on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/thefighterandthekid/Listen to The Fighter and The Kid on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/fighterandthekidSubscribe to The Fighter and The Kid on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fighter-the-kid/id706421907?mt=2#TFATK #BrendanSchaub #BryanCallen00:00 Chin health update01:16 Bryan meets Victor Hugo02:41 Awkward fan encounters04:38 Meeting Robert De Niro & Jack Lemmon06:54 Bryan’s embarrassing Al Pacino story09:09 Brendan gets too honest at a movie premiere10:53 Paul Newman & how fame changes12:56 Ridge sponsor14:34 Meeting Chip Foose & talking to celebrities16:08 Tom Cruise, Scientology & fatherhood20:04 Why being a present dad matters22:36 Josh Hokit, Spike Lee & his public persona25:27 Can Hokit beat Ciryl Gane?28:28 DraftKings sponsor29:02 IM8 sponsor30:49 Hokit vs. Gane: wrestling, striking & predictions34:56 Jacobe Smith & Kevin Holland36:10 O’Reilly Auto Parts sponsor37:08 Smith–Holland tension & UFC 33437:57 Challenging a UFC fighter to wrestle40:23 Quince sponsor41:29 Dana White press secretary clip43:19 Politics, public figures & lawsuits44:11 Johnny Depp’s comeback & Amber Heard discussion48:28 Dr. Dre wants to go off the grid49:03 Noah’s Ark discovery claims52:24 Japanese wrestling & Antonio Inoki slapping Lyoto Machida54:55 Will Smith, Chris Rock & Hollywood comebacks57:57 James Gunn, DC & superhero movie fatigue1:00:37 Pluto TV sponsor1:01:08 Progressive sponsor1:01:37 Corgis, horses & “Big Corgi”1:05:04 Basketball players score in the wrong basket1:06:25 Tipping culture has gone too far1:09:02 Charities, donations & where the money goes1:11:08 AI video & the Nvidia discussion1:12:46 Upcoming shows & outro See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
