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.

On this first day of December 2021, there's no vacation. There's no third-world stomach virus. It's just BC, LT, and MK. All that you can handle. Welcome everyone. How are you doing to this Wednesday edition of the show? My name is Luke Thomas.

I am merely one half of your hosting duo and I am live and in the flesh here in the capital. We'll start us on Washington DC joined by the Prince, not of Persia like Shaquille Mejoree, but the Prince of Connecticut. My friend in yours, he is Brian Campbell. We're both from CBS Sports BC. How you doing, big friend?

I'm doing great. Hung over off of two drinks last night, but ready to party, ready to mingle, not single at all. But Luke, don't call it a comeback. We've been here for years. This is one of the most anticipated reunions while we appreciate our many great friends in the business like Oscar Willis, Karen Mulvaney, Dan Cunobio, the Persian, French, Prince himself, Shaquille Mejoree. There ain't nothing like you and me together.

As much as I'm trying to be cool here, Luke, and look a lot like my new spirit animal, Bob Marley, I got kind of a young Randy Caterfile going right now. Don't I?

I would say more like guy asking for loose change at the bus stop. Kind of vibe.

I mean, I think I said it's better than 43 year old dad trying to retain some level of fullness on the way out.

Did you buy this hat thinking like if I wear this hat, I'll be cool.

Well, 10% that, but really 90% I have a massive melon, Luke, and most pets sit like a beanie on top of my head.

And this was one that the fine people in Jamaica made large enough that actually fits the whole thing.

So, you know, I got the same issue with condoms, but that's all right.

Yeah, I bet, I bet.

Yeah, I'm the same way with buying hats. I'm like this hat.

Everyone thinks my hats are just Yarmacuz that with bills on them, but because my head is so goddamn huge.

So, if I can find one that fits even if it's stupid, I'll just wear it because I'm like, wow, this is comfortable.

All right, man, we can do a look of bit Orthodox with that beard though.

But anyway, Luke, as you mentioned off the top of the on this great to have you back, dude, you had stuff shooting out of many orifices the last eight days.

Yeah, so you guys might have remembered, and I think I mentioned something on the show at one point.

My daughter had got really sick like two, three weeks ago, like really sick.

It took her to the hospital sick.

But she's fine now. Everything's great.

But then my wife got what she had, and I was like, oh, I'm money because if she got it, and I didn't, I must have just not caught it.
