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.

Wow, wow, ladies and gentlemen, it's the 15th of May. Can you believe how fast the year is going?

2023. Welcome to episode, whatever the fuck it is for morning combat. Hello, my friends.

My name is Luke Thomas. I am merely one half of your hosting duo. I join you as I always do from the capital.

The status need is right here in Washington. You see joined by the most washed POS this side of the Mississippi and the Mason Dixon line.

Just any which way you cut it. It's my friend in yours. It's Brian Campbell. Hello, Brian Campbell. Hello, Luke. It was great.

Habitsing with you this weekend, putting in that work. You know what I'm saying? Hot wings on that ass, right? I mean, would you say in conclusion?

Luke, bad. Our time together. It was good. Wow. Wow. Right. It was definitely better than Ezra if you know what I'm saying. Yeah.

Very quickly. How was your mother's day, which of course was yesterday? It was it was very relaxing and nice. You know, I even mowed the lawn. Luke, you know what I'm saying? It was great.

You know, we celebrated my lovely and beautiful wife and that was about it. Luke, very relaxing. Did you have to jump through any hoops or, you know, I did the big one. I did like reservations.

And then we had reservations for an activity later in the afternoon, which actually I could wind up working pretty well, but it was a lot of work. Flowers, you know, the whole bit.

Oh, my gosh. We just did take out and family movie time. You know, it was wonderful. See, there have been years like that when my wife was like, no, let's do it low key blah, blah, blah.

And then I did the low key thing. And she's like, what, this is what we're doing. And I'm like, I'm not playing that game this year.

You know, I mean, seriously though, you're in like what year three or four of Mother's Day for your relationship that you got to go all in now. It's once you get up to, you know, where I am year 15. It's like, you know, you can, you can get, you can mail that in.

But, you know, there's a lot of love involved in mail. Did you call your own mother? Did you just did you wish for a happy birthday? Of course I did.

Okay, I even FaceTime that that wonderful woman as well.

So with a different description there, didn't you?

I almost FaceTime that wonderful woman.

All right, there we go.

Hey, we got a lot to get to because it was actually it ended up being a bit of a kind of crazy combat sports weekend.

So Bellator was on Friday. Definitely some upsets happened there. We'll get to this and some crow.

We have to eat something. I have to eat some crow. We'll do that for Bellator 296.
