Beverly, Beverly, dogs. Look at us now. Tip it's a tip. This is our life. This is our passion.

That's the spirit we bring to this show. I'm Luke Thomas. I'm Brian Campbell. This is Morning Combat.

Oh, yeah, levity, levity, dogs. It is Wednesday, April 21st, 2000 and 21. And this right here, yes.

It is Morning Combat. The best damn combat sports talk show in the world period.

My name is Brian Campbell, CBS Sports Showtime. The labels that pay me tomorrow night at NBC Sports.

It's also going to pay me more on that to come. But it knows not Friday. And no, I'm not wearing this color shirt because I think it's stylish.

Or I'm a big Miguel Cotto fan, but your boy Luke Thomas of those same networks is sitting next to me virtually.

He has a little bit under the weather post second vaccine shot. So your boy BC going to step up today.

In fact, if we can put the ISO camera out just for a second, look at me. Gaff, look at me. Look at me.

I'm the captain now. All right, believe that. So Luke's under the weather. I want to give him a little pepto bismall feel the feel better. Luke, shot two of Moderna is in your ball bag.

Please tell the folks how you are helping saving the planet. Yeah, I'm fine. I mean, I'm just, you know, here my dad is 80 and he got the Moderna shots and he had no symptoms either time.

I'm actually fine. I don't have a headache. I don't have nausea. I don't have a sore throat. None of that. I'm not in any kind of pain or discomfort. I'm just tired.

Like it's, I'm like it's hard for me to draw a breath sluggish. I, you know, but I can't sleep, which is weird.

So I was like, you know, what man? I don't think it's a good idea for, you know, a man who feels like he's been sedated to be hosting morning combat.

Not a good idea. So BCI appreciate your flexibility and ability to drive the ship the way it needs to be driven.

Well, normally the irony there is that 20, 24 hours to go. Luke, I want to be sedated, but not for morning combat.

And Luke, the bad news for you is we have an absolutely loaded show today. A lot of mixed martial arts and boxing news headlines to react to set the stage for a loaded UFC 261 card with some storylines heading into the weekend.

And then those fun as ball side segments where maybe it's a good news day. Luke, that your boy BC is taken over on hump day because like dock number two, it's going to be BC heavy today.

We got fan subs. We got SJW and we're going to spin that wheel of death as well. It's back after a week off where we are going to dig deep into Luke Thomas is psyche and get him to provide good faith responses to questions he does not want to answer.

So let's do a little tidy housekeeping if you like what you see here. And God damn it, do you? Right? You know what I'm saying? You know how good right on the lips? How good does this feel right now? Right?

Like the video, subscribe 83,000 people can't be wrong on YouTube, but I know there's a lot of you out there who are watching this one for free, right?

399 every day. Why don't you do us the very least and hit subscribe there? We got a lot of big things to come. I've mentioned it before. We're getting two of every kind of animal that arc is being built.
