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.

Yeah, it is Friday, June 11th, 2021, and you ain't got shit to do. So it must be time for morning combat. Yes, the only show that's got you shook up, shook down, shook out.

Our loving, my name is Brian Campbell, that pasty beige bastard himself, the CEO of good times and great oldies in these parts. And with me, the around the way boy himself.

He's, I don't know the best analyst in the world today, specifically who's never had a pro fight. Okay. Yes, that's a thing. His name is Luke Thomas and Luke orange background, no J Friday set in the stage for the weekend to come.

How in the heck are you doing? Well, my daughter slept in today. So I got a good night of sleep. We got to see Clarissa Shields make her ever made debut last night, which I know we're going to talk about. We've got Bella towards tonight. We've got UFC tomorrow. It's a, it's a hell of a weekend for this to come. Very true. Very true. If you've only been in these parts, dealing with all things Paul Brothers, I will be there for you guys. These five words. I swear to you. I will not

mention those names on this show. It's pretty much all MMA all the time. Maybe sprinkle in a little mini boxing preview. But we're back with a bang. It's Friday fired up to be here. We are creeping ever so slightly up on 90 K subscribers on YouTube. So whether you've been here all the time and you've been grazing or whether you're a new fan, whether you came over from below the bell, our brother show on the showtime digital network.

Malka, all the great people on our staff as well. Gaff Corey, Alan Mike. I see all you guys. I see you. OK, thank you for your, your patronage. Um, so look, we got a great show. We're going to get into that shit. Don't ask me about merch. Don't don't even don't even frickin don't even begin to ask me about merch, bro.

People are insulting you now about that in my mentioned. We're getting trolled by our own staff with BC slammer. Yeah, our staff is trolling us at this point, Luke.

I don't even know what to say. We should tell the truth. We did. We've seen all the new gear. We did a giant photo shoot for like half a day. I got him in my mind.

Get ready for the big launch. And there's no big launch. I got a stack of that shit. OK, maybe I should just mail it out, Luke. OK. Is that what they need? They need something. They need a package and handler.

You know, I used to be shipping manager at the factory. You know that, right? Yeah, I mean, not in the factory.

It's like this thing from the office. You're not the assistant manager. You're the assistant to the regional manager.

But whatever, you know, sort of counts. Hey, Luke, you look really happy today and in general.

Um, it's great to see. I think the people like it too, you know? Yeah, you know, I mean, mostly I'm dead inside.

But, you know, occasionally, uh, someone can get the paddles out and I can hit this play a little humanity.

Hey, did you just come fresh from the barber shop and fly from the beauty salon? And, and did you save money by, uh, by not paying for Matt Barnes' barber?

I didn't pay for Matt Barnes' barber. I paid for the normal barber that I go to.

Uh, shots to hell's bottom in Washington, DC. Take good care of me over there. And I got a yesterday.

Did you say hell's bottom, Luke?

That's the name of the place I go. Hell's bottom sounds like me after the China buffet. You know what I'm saying, Luke?

Yes, I've had a couple of, uh, hell's bottom situations myself, but, uh, no, it's good.
