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.

Back like a bad habit. Feel so wrong. Feel so right at the same time. It's Morning Combat. Hello, everyone. My name is Luke Thomas. I am one half of your hosting duo on this 27th of September, 2021. I am joined by my partner in crime. He is the king of Connecticut. The landed at least royalty. If not the landed gentry. He is my friend in yours. It's Brian Campbell. B.C. How was your weekend? Good, sir.

Did you just call me gentrified, Luke? Is that how you described me? Landed gentry is a little bit different than royalty, but no, not quite. What's up? Good weekend in the beautiful autumn, Luke. That is just about upon us here in New England. If you don't know, you should know. What a time to be alive. I mean, fall, they say, Luke, is the best season and there's no better place to celebrate it than here in Connecticut when you're the king. Happy to be back, Luke. I've wiled. I've walked. I've read. I've talked.

I've been here before, but like that song's next line, Luke, hey, now we won't be raped. Okay. Thank you very much. Luke, it's a great time for combat sports. You asked me on my weekend was, yeah, I did get some family time, but my weekend was usick Joshua and UFC 266. And boy, did that shit ever deliver. I mean, right here, Luke, come on, bro. Come on. Right here. Right now, there's no other place. I'd rather be. I'll put it to you that way. Jesus Jones on that ass. Yeah.

Yeah. You got me. Yeah, that's in there. I two things I got to say, you see one thing we should open the show with is, you know, Sunday was finally the last day, obviously beginning last Monday for that full week that we had pressing into UFC 266 and Joshua Usick. And it was a long, hard slog. There was resume reviews. There was the, the, the barfing on the rooftop. There was late nights with instant reacts and even early evenings, instant reacts were yours with, with obviously the boxing results. There was a lot that we went through.

Last week. So, first of all, thanks to all the fans who came along with us. If you're new here, we appreciate it. We will get to show sort of momentarily. I just wanted to thank everyone who was part of that little, that little mini push that we did. Second thing I'd say BC is I saw guns and roses last night in Baltimore. Third time I've seen Gina. Well, second time I've seen Gina. I saw them once when it was excellent bucket head. That doesn't really count. And dizzy read on the keys, Luke. Okay. Never. Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. Like they're really good. No matter who.

Who axles playing with, but it's not the real thing unless you see guns and roses. Let me just say this real quick. First of all, my wife and I paid this. We've, we've always gotten bleaters. We've never had never once have we had nice tickets. We decided to get nice tickets. We had front row seats, dude. Right up front. There was not a high school dating joke about that bleaters line. But I don't really go down that road. Come on. Keep it going. I'm just, I'm just going to say we had never had nice seats before. So we finally decided to get nice seats. Now I'm not the biggest GNR fan. I, I like him. Don't get me wrong. My wife.

Love them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let me say, let me say this about GNR. They do a, I mean, their live show. If you've not seen it, I cannot recommend it enough. These guys are pros beyond pros, beyond pros. They have so many hits. It's kind of shocking. How many they have. And they're great. Showman. You know who carries that show? And I've seen them. Don't want again three times, but twice now with slash slash carries that. Yeah. Oh, yes. I mean, he's, he's, he's the heavy weight of that stage. Everyone thinks axle is

the guy. And obviously he's a showman. When they played November rain, they brought out a piano and his seat was the back half of a motorcycle. I mean, he does it up big. Okay. I'm not going to say he doesn't. But the dude who carries that show. It's slash, bro. He is unbelievable. When Axel goes off and gets a 10 minute rest, slash is up there doing the do the whole time. Never sweats. Never loses breath. He's unbelievable. I mean, I grew up in the, in the midst. In fact, like probably the coolest thing my dad would ever do.

Was every day I get home from school in like fifth grade. I'd go down to the basement. And he'd be like, it's time for your daily dose. And he'd pump welcome to the jungle at like air bleeding levels of, of sound. So I grew up realizing Luke, how great that band was. And that slash is actually one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I'm blown away at how many rock fans dismissed G and R put them in the hair metal group, which they're not even close. They're, they're legitimate rock and roll. And glad you were able to have that experience. Was it, was it is he straddling on rhythm?

Guitar, they got who they got these days, do you know? Some guy who was really good. Robert Fillmore or something something different, but they did have what's his face on the keys? What was his name? They got dizzy read on the key. They had Duff McKagan on bass, right? Yeah. And then they have Duff McKagan. Duff McKagan was in great shape. And they had some other girl there doing sort of smaller roles in the production. Do they, I mean, they had, we were in the Royal Farms arena completely sold out like they killed it. They out and they did a three and a half hour set the whole time.

I mean, it was, it was unbelievable. They're all to fuel that Luke. Our documentary and less than Jake, by the way, his girlfriend dragged him to a Portugal, the man concert over the weekend. I think in Jersey, Luke, friend of the show there, by the way, shout out to John and the boys. And Jake said he loved it so much. He's now a fan for life. So what was happening to that? Just the same. All right. So let's remind folks, if you're new here, thumbs up on the video, hit subscribe. If you have been somebody who hit subscribe over the weekend, welcome.

BC. I see you've got some nice new merch on. Where can folks get that sick ass morning combat fight club shirt? That's what I'm talking about. Luke, morning combat dot store is your official website.

We have more designs coming and they are badass. Luke, the new factory town shirt is badass. Hasn't hit the streets yet. I'm told in about a week. It will love love what we're doing here at Merch 2.0 shout out to RJ Grundlemaker and the boys behind the scenes. Good.

Good shit. It looks speaking of less than Jake and the doc. I was told I need to apologize to the fans for over hyping them up and and under promising on the launch of documentary 5.0, Donkey Menry 5.0, which I believe is going to be titled healing Luke. There was some promises made that it would be ready now. It looks like possibly Wednesday this week. I would love to say it's my fault. Luke, but it's not and also they needed to take out.

They needed to take out some incendiary comments made by yourself. So we got to just edit that up a little bit past legal. No more Pat Tillman jokes. Let's get to the finish line with this. Because Luke, there's an argument to be made the doc 5. Maybe not as good as doc 2 or 4, but it's the deepest. There's some serious self reflection going on. It's star. It co stars Oscar Willis, Ariel Hawani and Jake Paul. It's a great watch. Believe me. I've seen it. It's actually pretty good. I actually watch this one. It's pretty good. All right. So that's there as well. Last but not least,

BC MK. Well, they're brought to you by DK draft Kings. Want to give a shout out to the folks at Draft Kings who gave away MK fans tons of money. If they wanted it free money, you know what? The generosity continues BC. So here's what we're going to do for a week four with Draft King sports book. By the way, the official sports betting partner of the NFL, my Washington football team. Well, they got waxed by the Buffalo Bills, but the show goes on. They take on the Falcons this week. I think that's a winnable game. And if you want to bet on that,

anything from NFL's week four, Draft Kings is going to give new customers $150 instantly when they bet just $1 on any football game from week four BC. If you live in a state of free money,

if you live in a state where this is legal and you're like, well, I don't really have the money to bet. You do now. Okay. Download the Draft King sports book. But here's the deal. As Luke mentioned, use our code. You got to use our special promo code of combat with a K. If you do,

you got $150 to play around with. Guys, we told you to bet on Robbie Luller to because the resume review curses real and it's undefeated. You could have been $150 richer at least at least. Okay. So take the free money when it's given to you. Look,

there's a thing I do. I don't care how much money I make. I don't care how much I've eaten that day. You come across free food in your life. You eat that shit, right?

Yeah, I mean, it's not from the dumpster or something, but yes. Free food is the best taste the best, Luke, just like free women. You know what I mean?
