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.

Voice French voice. We back at it here. I mean, at least I wasn't picking my nose, right? Wednesday, October 4th of the

2023's. This is morning combat. They

technically give us like a lot of rewards awards for this. So I'm Brian Campbell. I'll be one half of your team today from

Not from the capital of Los Aestados of the Unios, but not far from the capital of Connecticut here. And then there's my co-host

You know him. He's Luke Thomas. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Are we live? Are you sure?

I don't even know if the show exists anymore if I can be honest with you. I'm not even sure. But here we are. It is Wednesday as far as this weekend.

Luke, I came out of I came out of basketball retirement last night. I'm making a full go of the season. So last night was my debut. And you know, it was a no sub night.

Yeah. What does that mean? You didn't sub in or you did there were no substitutes available. So I played a three games here. Well, it was only a two game series because the first one went way too long.

But yeah, I played a whole night without any subs washed as ish. So I'm having trouble walking and or functioning. But if you don't think I have enough intestinal

fortitude to land this plane, Sully Sullenberger style Luke. We're off to a roaring start. Roaring start. I mean, it couldn't be better to get things going. Well, you know,

you're on the first 30 seconds. You want me to come in fired up about the day and away contender series. Luke, I will. I will, baby. I'm back on that show too.

I watched. I watched. I did too. It was good. It was good. I like that. I'm sorry. I really like that show. It is what it's okay.

It's the thing about the show is this. When the fights are good, it's a great Tuesday evening, right? Like if the fights are great, the Tuesday evening is like, this was awesome.

Well, no, I say the structure itself, the actual show, the production, the way it's kind of like all business and comes at you hard hitting. You know, it's, I mean, it's very similar to kind of the,

the, the, the, the DNA of like a show box. And I love it. I love find it. You know, I do like that idea of seeing it is cutthroat Luke.

You are coming into the company on a 12 and 12 with Jason House and your DMs. But that's what happens. Look, anyway, great show. I'm sure we have planned for today. Mikey Moore mile CBS sports on the ones and twos.

But look, we are here to talk about more than just medium hot takes in the combat world. We also have some of the best merch in, in all of podcasts to be fair with you.

We do. Yeah. Morningcombat.store is a place where you can get that. I'm wearing some of it. We also have the average Joe art merch. I'm told that there might be more.

I don't really know what the truth is about anything. So maybe you know more.

Yeah, I've told that round two is coming. So we'll see. I haven't heard from RJ ball and gag banger himself. Yo, he's, I think Luke didn't, didn't he just didn't he just have an offspring.

If can we congratulate him from this point or is it my just think that's right. Yes, I think that's right. All right. So shout out to the great RJ right there in the addition to his probably beautiful family. But you know, Luke, they could be awful for all I know, you know.
