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.

It's Christmas week. Happy Jingle balls to all of you out there. Hi, everyone. On this Monday, the 20th of December 2021. It is time for morning combat. Hi, I am one half of your hosting duo. My name is Luke Thomas from CBS Sports and Showtime.

I'm joining you from the capital of Los Estados, Sanitos, with my heterolife mate, the Viceroy of Connecticut. He's the American Alpha with the not the BDE, but the BED, that big erectile dysfunction. It's just so shitty of me to say that. Either way, he's my friend in yours. It's Brian Campbell. Brian, I don't want to do the show today. How about you?

It's been a busy life, Luke, that we're living here. It's what it takes. You better believe that I'm here for it. I'll pick up the pieces wherever you may fall.

Luke, we're back at it, bro. No rest for the wicked. So what a weekend. Jake Paul Tampa, your boys, this award-winning duo that we've got going on here, this weird and crazy, and we love them award-winning audience as well. Let's just, let's keep living. Let's do it, Luke.

We're going to make it to the top. One piece of weird merch at a time, Luke. How much money was it when you're alarm went off and you woke up at 4.30 for your 5 o'clock fight after going to bed at 3. How awesome was that?

Yeah, that was great. That was great. Let's just leave it there, Luke. We're back. We're ready.

Tampa was interesting. Not one of my more favorite Florida cities. Miami would be number one for me, Florida.

Dude, first of all, Miami sucks. All right. So let's just get that out of there. I didn't say it was great, but it's better. I'm not saying Miami is great, but Miami is better than Tampa.

So we didn't get the best close-up of the greater St. Pete Tampa area as, of course, my cab driver had said it, Florida's best kept secret. No more, Luke.

I didn't love, but we were staying right in the middle of where Tom Brady staggered off into the sea there.

They had boats with Christmas lights. I mean, they tried, Luke. They tried.

Food, not very good in Tampa. I was very surprised by that. But you know what, Luke, the people like coach Phil McEgan or NFL brother, the people of Florida, they showed out for us.

And they showed up with COVID. So let's let's talk about this. We're back off the heels of our yesterday, the end of the year here. It is Christmas week.

We're back from Paul versus Woodley, too. We will discuss that. There was a lot of UFC as well. Believe it or not, we will get to that in addition on today's show. Plus we're going to have extra credit a little bit later.

So thumbs up on the video. Hit subscribe. We don't have a bunch of reads, but BC, we do have drug rugs that are available for purchase. All they got to do is go to where morning combat.store, right?

Yeah, I think that's the website. And I think there's a couple left. Maybe one or two. They've sold incredibly well. So shout out to everybody who, you know, took the plunge.

I mean, you know, I don't know what they were like with the cool guys where you came from, but where I come from, they were wearing drug rugs. Now you can have your own MK special one. We've got a great holiday line. I mean, you want some tip to tip madness right here.

Just the tip. Just for a second. We got underwear. We got sweatshirts ugly Christmas sweaters.

We got some great ish right now over there. And morning combat. I think I think our merch guy sent me this. Can you all see?

Well, that's badass. Yeah. Our merch guy, RJ Donkelmaker just sent me our new tie dye line. I mean, that's, it's pretty awesome. All right.

So we got a bunch of cool stuff here. You can go to morning combat.store. I don't know if we have any like deals for them today, but I'm sure we will later.
