Episode Details

Rob Menn joins Matt Reyna for Part 1 of a conversation that goes everywhere — from debating whether Jonah Hill can actually fight to jiu-jitsu, Bruce Lee, Michael Jai White, Joe Rogan, Wesley Snipes, Van Damme, classic cartoons, comic books, Spawn and growing up during one of the best eras of pop culture.

What starts as a fight debate quickly turns into a nostalgic trip through the 80s and 90s as Rob talks about the cartoons, comics and characters that shaped his childhood — and how that eventually inspired his own love for drawing and art.

•  Could Rob beat Jonah Hill in a fight?
