It's the 19th of May 2021 and it is time everybody for a Wednesday edition of Morning

Combat. Hello everyone. This is your duo dynamic or otherwise. We're from CBS Sports. My name is Luke Thomas and on the

gentleman on that side of the screen is the oh, he's not really the king of Connecticut because that's because

that's apathy, but he's definitely the crown prince. You like one of those Saudi crown princes, but this time not Saudi Arabia. I

guess just Connecticut. All right. I would have taken Connecticut's court gesture, Luke, given that I come from the opposite side of

the traditional Connecticut tracks, but either way happy to be here on this hump day. Luke, you know what I had yesterday? A

rarity. Diarrhea? Well, actually, actually, diet induced indeed. Look, I had an actual day off. And I mean, do you know how hard it is?

It's not a Sunday, right? You know, like not like where you wake up late from covering fights night before, but you still got

to plan stuff for the week. No, an actual tell everyone else to f off. I'm going on a day day with my wife. I'm going to my kids

track me, taking the family out for dinner, one of them type of days off. Luke, it is refreshing and spectacular.

Your sign today is just ridiculous. You are an absolute buffoon. But aside from that, what?

I think that's why, you know, that's why the Lord rested on the seventh day. Luke, we all need a good recharging once in a

while. Okay. Yes, they certainly do. But I will say this, people don't realize this, like, no one needs to cry about us for

the, what do you want to call it? The labor demands of our jobs, you know, we're not 12 year old kids in coal mines. It's not

exactly the kind of work that we do. But I will say, here's one thing. If you want to work in this industry, boxing more MMA, it doesn't matter. And in this case, both.

You have to look in the mirror and be like, I'm going to give up most of my Saturdays for the rest of my life. And that's a real thing you have to do. And with that, I'm going to give up my

friend circle, which happened to me a long time ago. You know what I mean? I'm going to give up most things that would make me a regular person, right?

Including, you know, friends in your town that you would want to have over it. There's none of that. You don't do that, right?

The truth of having a great job, unless you're like Dana White or something, I don't know. But like for us, we have great jobs. We have terrible social

lives. It's like our circle of friends is like two dudes. You and me basically, that's what all the friends that we have. Yeah, we have pets to like,

emotionally cope with. And then lots of drugs.

Well, yeah, yeah. Yes, yes, purposeful or otherwise. Yes, indeed.
