Speaker 2: We've chosen to grieve with laughs today for my final episode.

Speaker 2: of course if you don't know now, you do know
Speaker 2: Dana White and company that while this is my final episode,
Speaker 2: this is not the end of Morning Combat.
Speaker 1: Luke.
Speaker 2: There's still only so much you can talk about. But
Speaker 2: could you reiterate to the viewers that MK will live.
Speaker 4: People probably have a lot of questions considering this is
Speaker 4: the as you unicated the last run in the iteration
Speaker 4: of the show, what I can say is everything is
Speaker 4: being locked into place. You're going to get some announcements
Speaker 4: this week about the road ahead, so stay tuned literally
Speaker 4: this week this week week some big announcements. But you
Speaker 4: might have said, well, why didn't you have them today?
Speaker 4: It's because we didn't want to. We want to have
Speaker 4: it in a different way. Also, I should say, can
Speaker 4: I tell them?
Speaker 1: I guess I have to. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So here's how this is gonna go. We're gonna
Speaker 4: have a great time today. It's gonna be a lot
Speaker 4: of fun. I'm gonna go take a trip down memory lane.
Speaker 2: Where did the final ever batch? I have you seen
Speaker 2: this ship with me?
Speaker 1: So they're gonna have a big maybe not the actually
Speaker 1: maybe not the final one of those either.
Speaker 2: You know that I'm into that.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm back, you know on the occasion. What I'm
Speaker 4: gonna say is no show Friday. There's no show Friday.
Speaker 4: We're gonna start fresh with the new MK on Monday.
Speaker 1: So next Monday, wonderful.
Speaker 2: I look forward to it as a fan of the
Speaker 2: show for a long time.
Speaker 1: Luke.
Speaker 2: It was a July post July fourth weekend of the
Speaker 2: summer of twenty nine.
Speaker 1: I think I think it was it was a John
Speaker 1: Jones fight.
Speaker 2: If I'm it was a John Jones Chagos us Antos Maheta, maybe.
Speaker 1: That one was.
Speaker 8: Ifw that checks out, then that's.
Speaker 1: Probably that one.
Speaker 2: And that was it when we started our relationship. Now
Speaker 2: we end it just as the transition happens here for
Speaker 2: the UFC from ESPN to CBS Sports and paramounts.
Speaker 1: So do you go through the Paramount plus library?
Speaker 2: By the way, I have not yet, but I've heard
Speaker 2: great things.
Speaker 4: So what I would say is from what's there, they've
Speaker 4: got it organized and I think pretty interesting ways. It's
Speaker 4: very searched. The search functionality is pretty good. There are
Speaker 4: some missing pieces. There are certain fights or fighters parts
Speaker 4: of their careers that were not necessarily complete, and it
Speaker 4: wasn't for I had trouble finding.
Speaker 1: Was it Leono Machido? It was somebody from the from
Speaker 1: the two.
Speaker 4: Thousands, uh, some Brazilian fighter from there from that era. Anyway,
Speaker 4: what I'm trying to make is so I think they're
Speaker 4: still getting all the screws tightened, but what's there is
Speaker 4: well presented, should.
Speaker 2: Be exciting stuff in the in the new Dawn, the
Speaker 2: new era here, and of course we will also have
Speaker 2: today a final batch of fan subs from this era.
Speaker 2: After those go, look, you can have the floor.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling? How are you feeling, Brian Campbell?
Speaker 2: You know, as I as we talked about, as I
Speaker 2: said when we made the announcement initially, you know, it's bettersweet.
Speaker 2: I have mixed emotions. You know, It's like, I'm super
Speaker 2: excited about the advancement of my career, the you know,
Speaker 2: financial opportunities that this change does going even deeper with
Speaker 2: my great company there, CBS Sports Paramount. But obviously what
Speaker 2: we built means more to me than pretty much anything
Speaker 2: I've ever done in my career, maybe outside of I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, I love boxing broadcasting. That's sort of my
Speaker 2: uh my boyhood dream come true. But what we built
Speaker 2: together is what I'm most proud of. So it's it's
Speaker 2: obviously sad to speak at my own funeral, so to
Speaker 2: speak there and eulogize myself.
Speaker 1: This is less your funeral and more your eviction. That's
Speaker 1: the way my.
Speaker 2: Graduation, Okay, my graduation there. So you know I brought
Speaker 2: out the drug rug for historical reasons, the one love
Speaker 2: Bob Marley, middle aged.
Speaker 1: Oh you brought all your props?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because look what was the show premise wise to
Speaker 2: wash dads getting together? A boxing guy, a mixed martial
Speaker 2: arts guy, a straight guy anti straight. I guess that
Speaker 2: joke does Mark's Crickets twenty five.
Speaker 8: I was literally having a conversation.
Speaker 2: I'm we got through a pandemic together. We've done a
Speaker 2: few different things. You may have heard that voice right there.
Speaker 2: We may intro him one final time, or at least
Speaker 2: for me. He is a producer, director, bong enthusiast a
Speaker 2: podcast during his own right with the Mad Card Minute
Speaker 2: and the Fantastic prop Quiz Show, and of course got
Speaker 2: a one way ticket into life by way of a
Speaker 2: horned up ausy ball bag. Yes it's Long Island Luke.
Speaker 2: No Seda in the house.
Speaker 8: What's up, boys, I'm excited for today's show. You know,
Speaker 8: a little bittersweet, but should be a fun one. So okay,
Speaker 8: looking forward.
Speaker 2: I mean Along Island Luke, you know, I mean, we're
Speaker 2: gonna probably do a lot of tributes today. But I
Speaker 2: have to say this to you, Long Island Luke. Don't
Speaker 2: take this as disrespect, but you were like another Malca
Speaker 2: Donk back in the day, right. You did good work
Speaker 2: on our show, but like you were another guy in
Speaker 2: the back room of this new era, of this post
Speaker 2: showtime sports, CBS sports era. The way that you have
Speaker 2: stepped up, stepped in, filled in gaps, created your own voice,
Speaker 2: elevated this program. It's been an absolute pleasure to partner
Speaker 2: with you, and I'm really proud of what you've added
Speaker 2: to this, what you're doing on your own and the
Speaker 2: role you'll play in MK moving forward.
Speaker 8: So thank you, brother. I appreciate that I'm glad you
Speaker 8: guys don't think of me as just another j Aaron,
Speaker 8: So there you go. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the microphones usually work when you're here, that's the
Speaker 1: big Yeah.
Speaker 8: Well people bitch about this microphone all the time.
Speaker 2: So you know, we'll see, we'll see. We'll see about
Speaker 2: that one right there. All right, so we're getting I
Speaker 2: think all the tech issues are figured out now, I mean,
Speaker 2: how do you feel about it? That's that's a that's
Speaker 2: a fair throwback to you.
Speaker 1: You know what, man, I've had I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wonder what I was going to say today because
Speaker 1: I wasn't really sure. You know, I'm still not sure
Speaker 1: what I want.
Speaker 2: To say because while this is good news for my
Speaker 2: kids and my career and all this stuff, like, I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna lie, I got I got feels, you.
Speaker 1: Know, of course, no, it's I will tell you, man.
Speaker 4: Like the first thing I'm going to say is, today
Speaker 4: is absolutely not a day that I'm prepared to feel bad.
Speaker 1: Just not going to happen. I'm sorry. And that's in
Speaker 1: part because of.
Speaker 4: The occasion and in part because there's been a lot
Speaker 4: of days where I've had some you know, uh, since
Speaker 4: the death of Showtime, a lot of sleepless nights about
Speaker 4: what was going to happen. And you know, the reality is,
Speaker 4: we see some of my fears came true, but some
Speaker 4: of my some of my hopes came true as well.
Speaker 4: Was there was there was a bit of a mix there.
Speaker 2: I mean, you have to say this era last two
Speaker 2: years in its own way, it's been unique, it's been fun.
Speaker 2: I think we've done some things really well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's I couldn't have said it better than that,
Speaker 4: but I think it's the one thing I've kind of
Speaker 4: come around to at age forty six for me personally,
Speaker 4: Everyone's got their own way of looking at it.
Speaker 1: But dude, I mean, and we live in a world
Speaker 1: where things end.
Speaker 4: Yeah, things end, and they end sometimes when you least
Speaker 4: expect it, sometimes when you most sometimes when you're ready,
Speaker 4: sometimes when you're not.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you're sucking on chili dogs.
Speaker 1: Around the taste ye ahead, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: No one really eats chili dogs that way. It's a
Speaker 1: weird fucking rhyme. Whoever's each chili dogs?
Speaker 2: But the whole point of that song is, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: life goes on.
Speaker 4: I just I'm trying to become I'm trying to live
Speaker 4: in a place be seen. I think, honestly, I really
Speaker 4: believe I'm here is to just understand things will end,
Speaker 4: and how you treat the end of things will define
Speaker 4: how you begin the next one.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: That is deep.
Speaker 2: There's some wisdom there, so it's profound.
Speaker 1: I like that. Also, you're just fucking weird, and I'm
Speaker 1: glad you're gone.
Speaker 2: How about that? Well, thank you everybody that has watched.
Speaker 2: While Luke was way on vacation, He's safe from Colombia.
Speaker 2: The bonus episodes we filmed, looking back at the documentaries
Speaker 2: that was lastly, those made me sad those days.
Speaker 1: It made me sad to the whole rest of the day.
Speaker 1: My wife is like, why are you in a fucking
Speaker 1: bad mood on vacation And I'm like, well, I was
Speaker 1: looking at the weigh ins that we hosted on Showtime
Speaker 1: and I thought that was nice.
Speaker 2: Well, I did our opening segment today. I did build
Speaker 2: it around this idea of let's let's talk about what
Speaker 2: the show meant to us, what it meant to the industry.
Speaker 2: You know, we've done a lot of I mean, dude,
Speaker 2: we came in pre pandemic guns Blazon, and I think
Speaker 2: we were one of the real true leaders of the
Speaker 2: pandemic of hitting the road hard and transitioning to doing
Speaker 2: it from home and keeping trying to keep our paychecks
Speaker 2: in the sport afloat while.
Speaker 1: While we were going through it. Let me say two things.
Speaker 4: One, this show punched above its weight and it kind
Speaker 4: of punched the industry in the mouth a little bit
Speaker 4: in ways I don't think anyone expected.
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty proud of that. I'm sure you are
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 4: What I would also say is we have to thank
Speaker 4: Brian Daily because so just consider I mean, I know
Speaker 4: you're obviously going on your own direction, obviously the whole
Speaker 4: reason for the season here, but when this was just
Speaker 4: a showtime property, Brian Daly was behind it, when it
Speaker 4: was a showtime CBS property. Brian Daly was behind it,
Speaker 4: when it was a non showtime, non CBS. Now obviously
Speaker 4: the new company all the smoke property.
Speaker 2: He was behind me captain that transition, which was not easy.
Speaker 1: Not easy to do at all.
Speaker 4: And then and then now that you're going on to
Speaker 4: other things, still believing in the show and still wanted
Speaker 4: to put it out there. So we really have to
Speaker 4: take a moment and just like we quite literally, this
Speaker 4: would not exist but for him, and.
Speaker 2: He believed in it and he still believes in it,
Speaker 2: and Karen Portany at CBS Sports was a big part
Speaker 2: of that. Of course we didn't get that influx of
Speaker 2: that CBS Sports money, we wouldn't have ever gone to.
Speaker 1: The levels simply, no, no question. Shouts to Kieran, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, every time I text him this is true,
Speaker 1: he goes, who is this?
Speaker 2: You two both have Columbian I was this is a
Speaker 2: true story.
Speaker 4: I was on the Magdalena River, which is one of
Speaker 4: the big rivers there, and he and I had had
Speaker 4: a conversation about he had sailed on it or something
Speaker 4: he had been expensive.
Speaker 1: So I was on it.
Speaker 4: I took a picture of it and I sent it
Speaker 4: to him and he literally responded with who is this?
Speaker 4: And then when he was asked when I told.
Speaker 1: Him who was new phone?
Speaker 2: Who is Yeah. So we're gonna have a lot of
Speaker 2: fun today. Thank you to everybody who but I haven't
Speaker 2: seen them, but I've heard great things of the people
Speaker 2: who sending tribute videos. Will close the show with that
Speaker 2: as well. Oh we got your fans hops like I mentioned,
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have a good time. We're gonna rock
Speaker 2: and roll a little bit.
Speaker 1: Don't take too long. I'm gonna have to take a dump.
Speaker 2: That is, No, we should probably get Long Island, Luke
Speaker 2: warmed up in the bullpen.
Speaker 1: We we should.
Speaker 2: We should probably take a shot of the tequila that
Speaker 2: invented tequila to close out our era.
Speaker 1: We're doing that now.
Speaker 2: I would no now at the end of the show
Speaker 2: with you, Okay, all right, yeah, sure, unless you're willing
Speaker 2: to just drink the whole show. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm how many chemicals are you willing to
Speaker 2: put in your body?
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm a walking CVS and liquor store, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, our first segment of the day,
Speaker 2: we had nothing to do, so we had to fill
Speaker 2: it today. So I went back into the BC bag
Speaker 2: of tricks and created an Oldie Buck Goodie. This is
Speaker 2: an MK themed version. Do we even have an intro
Speaker 2: here of fill in the blank?
Speaker 1: Just that bullshit?
Speaker 2: Ask tra than nothing better than.
Speaker 1: Nothing but some sound effects on that peasant?
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, I've got ten questions for Luke Thomas
Speaker 2: where he needs to fill in the blank. We're gonna
Speaker 2: get honest about our history here of MK. What we've accomplished,
Speaker 2: what we didn't.
Speaker 1: Is this like the Newlywed game or some shit.
Speaker 2: This is more of a this is your MK life.
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. We got question number one, Luke Thomas,
Speaker 2: here we go and I'll answer to as well. The
Speaker 2: moment you first realized Morning Combat might be a success
Speaker 2: was blank. And to recap, we launch in July of
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen on Showtime only, Mondays only, and then pandemic starts.
Speaker 2: But it was the springtime of the pandemic twenty twenty
Speaker 2: that you get added to CBS Sports. We suddenly go
Speaker 2: to three times a week and we go to that
Speaker 2: next level. When was the moment where you said to
Speaker 2: yourself this experiment it might have a future.
Speaker 1: There were a few of them, for sure.
Speaker 4: Obviously when Kieran first called and offered the job at CBS,
Speaker 4: that was a big one.
Speaker 1: But if I'll be honest with you, dude, I mean
Speaker 1: I believed in the concept from the word go.
Speaker 2: I so because the summer of twenty eighteen, I made
Speaker 2: my debut on the MMA beat when you were hosting
Speaker 2: Chuck Middenhall got me in the family and basically for
Speaker 2: a year I made sporadic appearances and we built this
Speaker 2: chemistry which became legendary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what I would say is, to be honest with you, dude,
Speaker 4: I believed in the concept from the from day one
Speaker 4: when we took it to Brian Daily. Like at the time,
Speaker 4: we were solving a very different problem. So at the time,
Speaker 4: there really wasn't robust Monday morning program. I mean, which
Speaker 4: Monday was obviously now with the stuff being live going
Speaker 4: post fight and even Sundays, even the earlier you can
Speaker 4: go the better, but Monday still holds a relevant role
Speaker 4: as like a news window. And at the time the
Speaker 4: problem we were solving was for that relevant morning Monday
Speaker 4: news cycle, there wasn't a kind of robust show that
Speaker 4: was doing a semipti kind of.
Speaker 2: Thing and people have to wake up and remember this
Speaker 2: is just pre zoom. Now everybody can do their own
Speaker 2: show them.
Speaker 1: It's a different technological world.
Speaker 4: You could go live, but it didn't mean the same
Speaker 4: thing at that time, and so the thought was we
Speaker 4: could solve that problem and you know, building on, you know,
Speaker 4: making a kind of real produced almost studio show but
Speaker 4: for MMA, but for people who are not shitty at it,
Speaker 4: you know, at least in theory.
Speaker 1: And then of course showtime was like, well.
Speaker 4: Let's get in the boxing, and I thought, well, hell,
Speaker 4: we can just turn that into covering all the big fights.
Speaker 4: What I'm trying to tell you is, dude, I had Honestly,
Speaker 4: the whole reason why I did this is because I
Speaker 4: was like, Dude, I know this will work. I know
Speaker 4: this will work, and I felt good about our partnership,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Even though in the beginning the MMA world, which hadn't
Speaker 2: fully uh met me or or or welcomed me, We're like, look,
Speaker 2: what the hell are you doing.
Speaker 4: No, I didn't care about any of that. And here's
Speaker 4: the reality, dude. You know you over delivered. Thank you,
Speaker 4: you over delivered. I mean, I wanted to mother fucking
Speaker 4: kill you when you played that David Hasselhoff video, but
Speaker 4: it some mountaintop moment I wanted to, I wanted to
Speaker 4: reach that mother, I wanted to.
Speaker 1: I was so fucking mad at you. However, however, uh, dude,
Speaker 1: you fucking over delivered.
Speaker 4: So like I mean, you're trying to point to like, oh,
Speaker 4: there was this moment and I realized, Wow, if you
Speaker 4: didn't feel that way.
Speaker 1: I don't. It doesn't mean that I don't care at all.
Speaker 4: Like everyone, it's not like I doubt anything at this point,
Speaker 4: but for me, I felt I was like, dude, I
Speaker 4: can see what is missing, let's do it. But now
Speaker 4: we live in a world where that whole, like the
Speaker 4: premise of that has kind of changed, and we're trying
Speaker 4: to show has to adapt along with it.
Speaker 2: So I never doubted the chemistry. Look, you know this
Speaker 2: from working in this industry, industry, from doing a lot
Speaker 2: of podcast shows. When you can find a true chemistry
Speaker 2: with somebody, you you you know you you going on
Speaker 2: to that. I've had true chemistry with Ray Bartholome, my
Speaker 2: great boxing podcast friend, longtime great friend Peter Rosenberg when
Speaker 2: we did a wrestling podcast together, and Luke Thomas, and
Speaker 2: I mean true chemistry, right, I've done good things with
Speaker 2: other people, but where you're just like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: I knew there was something this first second we did
Speaker 2: have a may beat together. When this suddenly escalated into
Speaker 2: why don't we try to do a show together? I
Speaker 2: knew it could be entertaining. But there's a difference between
Speaker 2: being entertaining and being financially relevant where a company invests
Speaker 2: in you, and then there's a difference between that and
Speaker 2: staying power, where they're saying like, you're bringing back enough
Speaker 2: revenue to make it worth it. So even in the
Speaker 2: beginning when we're putting out edgy, fun content, fresh content,
Speaker 2: I know it's great. I've also been a part of
Speaker 2: things that get canceled.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: It wasn't until I was in Vegas for Connor McGregor
Speaker 2: versus Cowboy Seroni early twenty twenty. I get the call
Speaker 2: from from Keran port Leaf CBS Sports, Hey, what do
Speaker 2: you think should we hire this Luke Thomas guy? And
Speaker 2: I'm like, what should we have?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Should we hire the Sky full time on CBS and
Speaker 2: take the show to the next level? And I'm just
Speaker 2: that's the moment where I'm like, oh my god, this
Speaker 2: you know, showtime. We had the backing, but it's still
Speaker 2: one show week. Will it ever escalate?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 2: That was the moment where I thought, oh wow, oh wow.
Speaker 2: But then the pandemic hits and I thought the pandemic
Speaker 2: killed it. It wasn't until I get a second phone
Speaker 2: call from Karen later that spring when it's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: we're going to do this now wow. So it's it's
Speaker 2: wild how that works out that way. It took a
Speaker 2: lot of believing along the way, but I never doubted
Speaker 2: that if we had the backing, that this show couldn't
Speaker 2: be like, well, I we'll get into that more as
Speaker 2: we go. That's question number one. Question number two, Luke,
Speaker 2: looking back on six and a half years of this show, Blank,
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of we're self jerking. There's a
Speaker 2: master each other here? Blank. Is the biggest regret you
Speaker 2: have regarding him?
Speaker 1: Oh God, Jesus fuck wow, I can I jump in here?
Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say when I cut
Speaker 2: myself off. The only regret I have is that we
Speaker 2: never reached our true peak we had with that showtime
Speaker 2: budget and CBS paying your salary, where we were able
Speaker 2: to do almost whatever we wanted. But I always knew
Speaker 2: this could be a daily TV show, This could be
Speaker 2: a PTI around the Horn daily institution where yeah, it's
Speaker 2: combat sports, but it's more than that. We never quite
Speaker 2: got there. I used to make that line MK all day,
Speaker 2: nearly every day because we were close do we were
Speaker 2: live three days a week, and we had all the
Speaker 2: bonus stuff going around.
Speaker 1: We could with the right opportunity we could have done.
Speaker 4: I want to be clear, We've been given every opportunity
Speaker 4: that was available, Like we got treated super well, just
Speaker 4: saying in an ideal and we can only.
Speaker 2: Produce so many clicks. I mean, we've got a great audience,
Speaker 2: we did a lot of great things, but you can
Speaker 2: only do so.
Speaker 1: Much, dude. I did five days a week on the
Speaker 1: Serious XM. I did fifteen hours of radio a fucking week.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like it can be done?
Speaker 2: Is your answer to this? You regret Showtime Sports dying
Speaker 2: an early death that we didn't see.
Speaker 4: Coming that was devastating for me, ended up being very,
Speaker 4: very devastating. You know what, Here's the truth, man, And
Speaker 4: I've had this conversation with you. Part of the reason
Speaker 4: why I feel like I mean, there's many reasons why
Speaker 4: I feel like me seeing I worked out well, but
Speaker 4: a big one was I you know, you can speak
Speaker 4: for yourself, but for me, I just never ever had
Speaker 4: to work. I never had to question your commitment. I
Speaker 4: said this to you, I'm never There's not one day
Speaker 4: I've ever been like, I don't know if he's committed
Speaker 4: to him, K Like I just took it like it
Speaker 4: was gravity, like it'll just be there when I walk outside,
Speaker 4: you know, And I think that made it, That made
Speaker 4: it work. So it's like for me, dude, I don't
Speaker 4: you know, I don't feel like I didn't try hard. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so my concerns are less about that kind of a thing. Honestly,
Speaker 4: one of my biggest regrets be Dead series with you.
Speaker 4: I really wanted to do more with High Court.
Speaker 1: I really want to. And by the way, there is
Speaker 1: a world where that can still happen. It's not impossible.
Speaker 2: I wanted room service diaries, our interview version to be
Speaker 2: a weekly thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah I know you did, I know you didn't would
Speaker 4: actually end up being just logistically too challenging.
Speaker 1: But but yes, that is a thing that I think about.
Speaker 4: I think High Court and I still and I still
Speaker 4: think something either that or something like it can absolutely
Speaker 4: fucking kill.
Speaker 2: I do believe that we never even scripted that or
Speaker 2: did any preparation. That was literally just just how they can.
Speaker 1: Dress us up like jerk offs and let us get
Speaker 1: Chuck figured.
Speaker 2: Out his role well. Question number three, above all else
Speaker 2: blank is the biggest reason why MK resonated.
Speaker 1: With favor oh Man Above all else.
Speaker 2: It is it the honesty we called people out.
Speaker 1: I do think so.
Speaker 4: I think that one of the reasons why at times
Speaker 4: I have wanted to bury a hatchet into your brain
Speaker 4: is because you have made me live on camera in
Speaker 4: ways that I wasn't prepared for, you know, and in
Speaker 4: ways that to this day I'm not sure is great. However,
Speaker 4: I don't regret necessarily. It's not what I'm saying, but
Speaker 4: I think in along the way people if you're on,
Speaker 4: if you're do it long enough, people see you live
Speaker 4: your life, and I think that can humanize you a
Speaker 4: little bit over time. And I think I'm not saying
Speaker 4: that's the reason. I don't know what the reason is,
Speaker 4: but I think that played a big one for me.
Speaker 4: If you feel different, I mean no, no, I mean
Speaker 4: we were real.
Speaker 2: We told the truth. We showed our real selves. For
Speaker 2: the most part, we played up in a pro wrestling way,
Speaker 2: our our sort of default characters of of you know,
Speaker 2: goofy guy, serious guy, MMA guy, boxing guy. But we
Speaker 2: told the truth and we had real chemistry, and it
Speaker 2: became apparent once we tried the original Room Service diaries
Speaker 2: that like, combat is our subject, but we could talk
Speaker 2: about anything, and that's rare that you can get to
Speaker 2: people together that can just talk about anything.
Speaker 4: I feel like also to for a again for a
Speaker 4: produced show in the Showtime Sports Backing CBS. We were
Speaker 4: one of the first shows that I thought, could you know,
Speaker 4: at least when we did our homework anyway, it could
Speaker 4: competently do mma and boxing. Yeah, you see that a
Speaker 4: lot more commonly now.
Speaker 2: I always wanted to launch an idea and was told
Speaker 2: every single time that never.
Speaker 1: Were supposed to work. That's an issue, work issue.
Speaker 2: And it's it's become almost mainstream now.
Speaker 4: And the truth is, I don't think the show succeeds
Speaker 4: because of that necessarily. I think it's an interesting feature
Speaker 4: about it. It's because the other stuff worked that it
Speaker 4: gave us permission to do some of the other Well.
Speaker 2: I think it's key that a.
Speaker 4: People are gonna watch the show and be like, look
Speaker 4: at these two absolute ball lickers of each other.
Speaker 2: That's what we're doing. Do I have a white belt
Speaker 2: mma knowledge even to this day to some people, for sure?
Speaker 2: But you gave me the room to speak. You didn't,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? You challenge my my takes,
Speaker 2: but you gave me the room to speak. And on
Speaker 2: the flip side. You stepped up in boxing. You know
Speaker 2: you had covered it through the years, but when it
Speaker 2: was time to go all in with our showtime relationship,
Speaker 2: you want regret, and you swam in the deep end, dude,
Speaker 2: like you were.
Speaker 1: I have a big regret about that.
Speaker 4: I definitely tried, but I feel like I have a
Speaker 4: lot more work to do to get good at that,
Speaker 4: and I wish I had a little more time to
Speaker 4: do that, so that that's a bit of a challenge.
Speaker 1: That's actually you stepped up thanks it.
Speaker 4: It's easier to get good at MMA knowledge only because
Speaker 4: the sports only been around it's basically ninety three, and
Speaker 4: the first part of that even now is not a
Speaker 4: thing we discussed more and more recently, whereas boxing history
Speaker 4: is so fucking.
Speaker 1: Significant and there's so many new little nuances to it.
Speaker 1: It is hard. It is tough. Actually, I have deep
Speaker 1: respect for people wh can cover boxing competently. It's not easy.
Speaker 2: And finally, why we resonated, and this is why the
Speaker 2: Showtime sided of it from the beginning is so important.
Speaker 2: They never stopped us from being edgy. In fact, there
Speaker 2: were many times where we'd close the episode and I'd
Speaker 2: be like, oh crap, we probably went too far, and
Speaker 2: they'd be like, no, not far enough, keep doing that.
Speaker 2: You know, if we didn't have that backing, even through
Speaker 2: the CBS era, it was almost like, okay, you're a Showtime.
Speaker 4: We somehow convinced the people who paid us to also
Speaker 4: believe that our mission was to never be told what
Speaker 4: to say, and they went along with it. I cannot
Speaker 4: explain to you how incredibly rare that not just now
Speaker 4: at any point in my like you just that just
Speaker 4: doesn't happen.
Speaker 2: Did we go too far to times? Obviously?
Speaker 1: Of course I got a few phone calls along.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were Note eleven fans, but we went to
Speaker 2: ri ip Dale scene. Question number four if now, no,
Speaker 2: not everybody knows this is that it started on Showtime.
Speaker 2: It almost started on MMA fighting dot Com, where we
Speaker 2: were doing the MMA beat together. So if MK had
Speaker 2: launched on MMAAF in twenty nineteen as originally planned, the
Speaker 2: show would have lasted blank amount of years three or less,
Speaker 2: would have been MMA only three or less something like that, Okay.
Speaker 1: Which isn't to say it couldn't have.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I mean maybe that's not true, right,
Speaker 4: I can't I can't speak for MMA Fighting or Fox
Speaker 4: Video's editorial priorities.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I would say though that, you know, that's not fair.
Speaker 4: I kind of retract my answer there a little bit.
Speaker 4: There could have been a world where that could have
Speaker 4: gone on much longer and looked very differently and been
Speaker 4: very differently. I think that's kind of the first thing.
Speaker 4: It's just how different it would have been. You know, again,
Speaker 4: maybe more of someone's cup of tea, but just different.
Speaker 4: And then two BC, I think it's fair to say
Speaker 4: there was a certain kind of Showtime magic that I
Speaker 4: don't want to deny the people and the company who
Speaker 4: helped ignore that flame.
Speaker 2: I think that creativity, the willingness a lot of things, and.
Speaker 1: Also the credit card was fucking nice.
Speaker 2: It was all right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: pull back the curtain here, hope not too far. For
Speaker 2: question number five. Fans likely don't know this, but MK
Speaker 2: came blank close after a Showtime Sports ended to becoming
Speaker 2: a TV show filmed in Washington, d C. In twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four.
Speaker 1: I mean extremely extremely that one.
Speaker 2: They were gonna find me every episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one, that was cool. That one broke my
Speaker 1: heart a little bit.
Speaker 2: That was like the one yard line.
Speaker 10: That was.
Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, yeah, that was the answer. That is yes,
Speaker 1: that was really really close.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, I'm very happy by the way
Speaker 2: how we how we rebound and the end of.
Speaker 4: Like I said, there's a million ways it could have gone,
Speaker 4: it went the way it went, and I'm happy with it.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Number six, I don't need a Luke Thomas answer. I
Speaker 2: need a real answer. The three donks are most deserving
Speaker 2: of being first ballot MK Hall of Famers are no, no,
Speaker 2: Luke Thomas, give me the ten best. Give me the
Speaker 2: three who are most deserving in your eyes first ballot MK,
Speaker 2: Hall of Famers.
Speaker 4: I feel like we gotta say j Piqutt the guy's passionate.
Speaker 4: I will say this, this is not three two one
Speaker 4: one two three. I'll give you three, but not in
Speaker 4: any Jpkatt for sure. Man, who can start naming some
Speaker 4: of your short list?
Speaker 2: Average Joe Romero, that's my guy?
Speaker 1: Fuck?
Speaker 2: How could I get you went from fan to to
Speaker 2: you know, merch creator?
Speaker 1: Okay, so he has to be on that list, yes, man,
Speaker 1: the coveted number three. Here's the problem, right, there's.
Speaker 4: People will be kind of know in real life and
Speaker 4: then there's people who are just digital to us, but
Speaker 4: they're been there from start to finish, but they rally
Speaker 4: every fucking time, you know. Tempted to say, people like lazy.
Speaker 2: Bed like I mean, yeah, like Ellen, w tell them
Speaker 2: you know what, you know, I don't know, probably.
Speaker 1: Maybe those three I go, I mean.
Speaker 2: Shout out to webscream too. You know, you know what
Speaker 2: if they frame the first dollar for saying, you know,
Speaker 2: it can't have to be just it's not easy, all right?
Speaker 2: Question number seven? If Showtime Sports hadn't died and CBS
Speaker 2: had never pulled the ripcord on MK and the close
Speaker 2: of twenty three m K would be right.
Speaker 4: Now, righting. Yeah, I mean, here's the reality that I
Speaker 4: think we all have to face. And I know there's
Speaker 4: some debate over this obviously, and I'm not in any
Speaker 4: way trying to have a combative answer. I'm trying to
Speaker 4: be as like truthful about how I see things. I
Speaker 4: don't think it is unfair to look around and say,
Speaker 4: certainly t KO and the UFC are making incredible amounts
Speaker 4: of money, this new paramount deal is beyond lucrative, and
Speaker 4: so there's no question about, at a bare minimum, the
Speaker 4: financial health of that company. But I do think that
Speaker 4: the MMA industry has contracted a little bit relative to
Speaker 4: a peak maybe circle twenty nineteen or so. I mean,
Speaker 4: you could even say maybe a little later, depending on
Speaker 4: how you want to measure the pandemic.
Speaker 1: But you get the idea.
Speaker 4: And I think all shows would have had that same
Speaker 4: challenge and m K would have been no different. But
Speaker 4: I think we had I'll just I think we had
Speaker 4: a winning formula.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with that show time budget that would have kept
Speaker 2: us maybe nice, just enough to like the side of
Speaker 2: the company where we still could have yeah, hold some
Speaker 2: truths without you never know, but hey, it went the
Speaker 2: way it went, and that's what we were there when
Speaker 2: we had an opportunity.
Speaker 1: I forget about it.
Speaker 2: Let's go later on Number eight. Blank was the hardest
Speaker 2: Luke Thomas has ever left during six and a half
Speaker 2: years of.
Speaker 4: Him has to be expired food or no, no, no, sorry,
Speaker 4: not expired. The Chewbacco Yeah, the troop doll with the
Speaker 4: Chewbacco one.
Speaker 2: That's the same sit down right, that was vague, So the.
Speaker 4: Chewbacco one and then the one where it's like what's
Speaker 4: your favorite discontinue?
Speaker 2: Yes, that was that was that you're right, you know what,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have come up with that and for the
Speaker 2: first ten answers, but that might be the answer that.
Speaker 1: That RSD to me is my face, it's the one
Speaker 1: I remember the most.
Speaker 2: That was when you had the lamest hotel room of
Speaker 2: all time at the New York New York where you
Speaker 2: open the window and all you see are like the
Speaker 2: air conditioners and the wall that was that was great.
Speaker 1: Was the exact same view I had in Cleveland.
Speaker 4: I opened up my window and I was literally like
Speaker 4: there was like i was down a level like in
Speaker 4: the ground, so I'm looking at like just pure cement
Speaker 4: with a fucking you know, hvac un and then up
Speaker 4: there was just the bus stop.
Speaker 2: When I was like, yeah, and you were sober for
Speaker 2: that RSD.
Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's that's a choice. Would ever
Speaker 1: be sober in Cleveland?
Speaker 2: Uh No, I'm talking about the RST with the discontinued food.
Speaker 2: I mean that may have been the most non sober
Speaker 2: you ever were.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't that was I couldn't.
Speaker 2: Think of it. But there was one There was one
Speaker 2: specific pregame preview where you you were not ready for
Speaker 2: prime time.
Speaker 1: It was we shot it in the studio and we
Speaker 1: were in the studio or like on the on the roof.
Speaker 2: No, in the studio and we went for like the
Speaker 2: mic check and you couldn't form a sentence and you
Speaker 2: were supposed to host that day.
Speaker 1: I was like, it slept maybe like three hours or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, we might have to walk this
Speaker 2: guy through this one. All right, let's go to number
Speaker 2: nine of this masturbation experiment. The best way to describe
Speaker 2: the impact MK has had on combat sports journalism is like.
Speaker 4: I don't think it has no impact at all. You're saying, no,
Speaker 4: I think we're I don't. I think it's silly to
Speaker 4: make an assumption like that.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 4: I think that what you can to the extent that
Speaker 4: we are not here encumbered by the same kinds of
Speaker 4: conflicts of interest that limit useful discussion in the industry. Yeah,
Speaker 4: sure we have a leg up, but that's it.
Speaker 2: You don't think we brought levity to it. You don't
Speaker 2: think we I think.
Speaker 4: We brought stuff to the show. You're talking about how
Speaker 4: we influenced other shows.
Speaker 1: I think we.
Speaker 2: Transition the period between a more serious, more traditional coverage
Speaker 2: of mixed martial arts to what it is now where
Speaker 2: every fighter has their own YouTube channel, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of goofy content, there's a lot of you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I think, I think that that kind of stuff would
Speaker 4: have happened no matter what. We might have been the
Speaker 4: people who ushered in that transition era or whatever, But
Speaker 4: that would have happened no matter what. And I don't
Speaker 4: think that the show needs to be like however you
Speaker 4: feel about it. It doesn't have to do everything like
Speaker 4: there's some things that doesn't do and I don't.
Speaker 2: Think I'll tell you what it did though for us
Speaker 2: he had a lot of money. Yeah, he had us
Speaker 2: a lot of money.
Speaker 1: All right, we did all right.
Speaker 2: Finally, Luke, fan's been waiting for this answer for years.
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna finally get it today. This is
Speaker 2: me Returt opening the curtain. Don't get upset, Luke. Just
Speaker 2: to answer it straight up. After you appeared on his
Speaker 2: podcast in twenty nineteen and never mentioned Morning Combat or
Speaker 2: my name once, Joe Rogan after the microphones went off,
Speaker 2: said blank to you the million dollar question. Finally, finally
Speaker 2: we get the answer, I think, or do we.
Speaker 6: Do?
Speaker 1: I want this headache?
Speaker 2: You don't have to answer, no, did he ask you out?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 1: I need peace of my fucking life. No, no, okay,
Speaker 1: not right. I can't do this right now. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. Over the break, it was nice to
Speaker 1: have a break. I didn't.
Speaker 4: I uploaded one video with the like the first Monday
Speaker 4: I think I was there in Columbia after or maybe
Speaker 4: it's a Sunday after the Jake Paul fight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but are you talking about did he?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, that was an interview I did with a
Speaker 1: music journalist. It's a different one and that was prerecorded
Speaker 1: long before that. That was we just put that out.
Speaker 1: Did he do it? He did? He is certainly a
Speaker 1: bad guy. Know exactly what what the fun was I
Speaker 1: talking about?
Speaker 2: You were talking about Rogan?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I cannot do this. I said to myself, No, no,
Speaker 1: it didn't.
Speaker 4: The last thing I was gonna say is I made
Speaker 4: a commitment to myself on this on this vacation, that.
Speaker 1: I need to prioritize my health in the new year
Speaker 1: in a way I don't think I have. So.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're allowed to heal, You're allowed to be happy here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Speaker 2: If we would have done another regret MK in your house.
Speaker 2: We would have started off at his house.
Speaker 1: Oh that BC wanted to go on the fuck all
Speaker 1: the Wives?
Speaker 2: I don't think that's really and it was at least.
Speaker 1: Wives while there at work.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 1: Anyway, that was a big That was a that was
Speaker 1: a fun thing. We we could be done, but it
Speaker 1: would take a lot of insurance.
Speaker 2: Take a lot. Yeah, shout out Saul. We appreciate you
Speaker 2: brother joining a long list. If you could show that
Speaker 2: list one more time. Of the people that we have
Speaker 2: recognized now that everybody is still watching the show, I
Speaker 2: do talk to Webscream every once in a while. It
Speaker 2: lives in Italy, so.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't watch MMA either.
Speaker 2: Too, That's true. How many people told me when I
Speaker 2: said I was leaving that they only watch they only
Speaker 2: stay in MMA because of it.
Speaker 4: Yes, I cannot tell you how many MK fans have
Speaker 4: been like, I don't really watch MM anymore, but I
Speaker 4: do listen to m K and that's kind of how I.
Speaker 1: Keep in touch with it. Yeah, I get that all
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, Luke, it's not just everybody waiting during
Speaker 2: the six week plus gap of mixed Martial Arts in
Speaker 2: the UFC, as we get fired up for January twenty
Speaker 2: fourth and the kickoff of the Paramount era with UFC
Speaker 2: three twenty four. The sports world is red hot regardless
Speaker 2: of that, and the NFL playoffs here are getting even hotter.
Speaker 2: They've arrived. It's win or go home time and with
Speaker 2: Pick six from DraftKings, the newest Fantasy pick them game,
Speaker 2: every snap is a chance at bigger payouts for you
Speaker 2: the fan. So every yard, every touchdown, every moment, all
Speaker 2: of it can turn your playoff picks into huge cash prizes.
Speaker 2: It couldn't be simpler, as we always tell you. Then
Speaker 2: we pick a category and it's either more or less.
Speaker 2: We're talking about rushing yards, We're talking about receiving yards,
Speaker 2: We're talking about touchdowns. If you feel like you know
Speaker 2: what you're talking about, is we enter the wildcard games
Speaker 2: in the first week end of the NFL playoffs, then
Speaker 2: you may be able to capitalize on here. Luke Thomas,
Speaker 2: we're talking about Saturday, and we're talking about the La
Speaker 2: Rams at the Carolina Panthers there in the NFC Wildcard game.
Speaker 2: If I told you quarterback Matt Stafford of the Rams,
Speaker 2: you know the skuy Super Bowl winner, right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Former player University of Georgia.
Speaker 2: I believe, yes, you're right, Go Dogs. Jed two hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty four and a half passing yards against that
Speaker 2: Carolina defense more or less?
Speaker 1: LT.
Speaker 4: I feel like I sleep on Matt Stafford and he overperforms,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go I'll take the over on that.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna give Matt Stafford the benefit
Speaker 1: of the doubt. Go Dogs.
Speaker 2: Okay, Saturday, in the late game, it's an NFC Norris Division,
Speaker 2: as Chris Berman would say, showdown as the Green Bay
Speaker 2: Packers invade Soldier Field and Ray Floor as his Chicago
Speaker 2: Bears Ray's gonna be I mean it was Ray more
Speaker 2: fired up than this Bears Division championship playoff run or
Speaker 2: the history of Hasbulaeah. Definitely, definitely. What do you know
Speaker 2: about Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love and what do you
Speaker 2: know about two hundred and twenty six and a half
Speaker 2: passing yards against that Bears defense? We going more? Or
Speaker 2: are we going less?
Speaker 4: I don't know enough to comment intelligently, but I do
Speaker 4: know that he had been good early in the season
Speaker 4: and they've kind of fallen off.
Speaker 1: I believe, is my understanding, that's probably wrong. I don't

Speaker 2: time in the BC era, at least this is fan
Speaker 2: the missions you've got male few, We've got a lot
Speaker 2: of them right there.
Speaker 1: This is okay.
Speaker 4: So you y MK work partly stuff like this clown
Speaker 4: ourselves for having mostly male viewers, for being old and pieces,
Speaker 4: you know, shitty.
Speaker 2: Even though in the beginning you were like, I'm not
Speaker 2: sure I want these fans in my life at all.
Speaker 1: I don't care if they live or didn't understand dude,
Speaker 1: I'm being honest, Like I you learn over time how
Speaker 1: to have the kind of relationship with the people.
Speaker 4: You don't know but very usual, you know, And so
Speaker 4: it's a weird thing at first. It is you have
Speaker 4: to kind of learn how to manage that. And I
Speaker 4: haven't gotten to write sometimes, but I feel like I'm
Speaker 4: in a better place these.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, and the fans have over delivered over the years,
Speaker 2: especially in fansus to just completely make us laugh, and
Speaker 2: sometimes it becomes didn't didn't Danger Mouse create the Morning Hulp?
Speaker 2: Sure and never got paid for Yeah? Shut mouse over there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of people who've been contributed really
Speaker 4: important things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and didn't get paid anything but free great content.
Speaker 2: Our first one here is from a he says hi
Speaker 2: or she you'd have no idea or they Hi. I
Speaker 2: created this poster inspired by the masterpiece BC has been
Speaker 2: finger painting for years on Morning Combat GRASSISBC for all
Speaker 2: the entertainment. This is awesome right here. So what does
Speaker 2: it say? Can you read the rights?
Speaker 1: From our holes to yours? Twice a week now? I
Speaker 1: cannot read the disclaimer language Long Island, Luke. Have you
Speaker 1: read through that?
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 8: But I'm seeing like all the smoke productions. Okay, that's dude, CBS.
Speaker 1: I can't read that from here and hope I'm hoping
Speaker 1: it's not filled with racial slurs.
Speaker 2: And if this passes the Korean census, can I put
Speaker 2: this on my walk? Can we print this out? This
Speaker 2: is fantastic, h that's pretty cool. Hey, we appreciate you
Speaker 2: all the way.
Speaker 4: Right the I want to say one more time, I
Speaker 4: cannot read the fine print. So if there's anti semitism
Speaker 4: on there, flame, Brian, did.
Speaker 2: I see the wroth childily on there? I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, all right. Our second one is from Brenham,
Speaker 2: who says morning washed Donks. As a Day one viewer
Speaker 2: who has watched every single episode, I've sat quietly on
Speaker 2: the sidelines pondering my fan subs for quite some time now.
Speaker 2: I was going to put together a pound for pound
Speaker 2: run for Donk of the Year in twenty six. However,
Speaker 2: with BC's departure, I thought i'd better get these in
Speaker 2: before he leaves us for the corporate world. I decided
Speaker 2: to make one for each of you, with some references
Speaker 2: to earlier episodes. First up, we have El Cacadero. El cacadero.
Speaker 2: After BC mispronounces this, oh, thanks Brenda, and is corrected
Speaker 2: by Luke, he can explain to you that el cagadero
Speaker 2: means the shitter. Yes, fitting as Luke is easily, pound
Speaker 2: for pound, the most explosive person riding the Amtrak. We
Speaker 2: also has a bone air the size of menel cops
Speaker 2: nipples for the one and only La Landau. Wow, Luke
Speaker 2: your thoughts on Brendam's own.
Speaker 1: Did I learned that word the first time? Because wait,
Speaker 1: put that back up.
Speaker 2: Look at the toilet bowl on the title. That is great.
Speaker 4: Oh I missed that is great. Oh so that's the
Speaker 4: New Jersey trainsit train. I don't take that train, but
Speaker 4: that If you're asking what what train station is this?
Speaker 1: This is Newark.
Speaker 2: That's where the bulls ran down.
Speaker 4: This is the Newark train station. If you're asking, oh,
Speaker 4: it doesn't look too too bad. This is as good
Speaker 4: as it gets. It's downhill from there. I learned that
Speaker 4: word because my wife and I were at the park
Speaker 4: and she saw a dog that was really cute. He's like, oh,
Speaker 4: you know, blah blah, and then it started taking a
Speaker 4: dump and she called him cago and sito like little
Speaker 4: shit yeah, And I was like, what's caging and.
Speaker 1: She was like, well, she walked me through it.
Speaker 2: So, by the way, Brenda, I've talked to him over
Speaker 2: DMS recently, who the guy who set this in. He
Speaker 2: lives on a cow farm in Montana on like two
Speaker 2: hundred acres, and he said he used to be like
Speaker 2: a dog musher and would listen to us and yeah,
Speaker 2: and while like the Northern Lights were playing in the
Speaker 2: sky and he's riding like across Alascar some ship and
Speaker 2: he's like listening to us like that always blows me away. Abuse, No, no,
Speaker 2: it's not, No, it's not. Next up, Brennan says. We
Speaker 2: may not forget Brian luganis diving his way into the Twin.
Speaker 8: To real quick?
Speaker 2: Could I at least read the description? He says, uh,
Speaker 2: diving his way into the Twin Towers with gas station
Speaker 2: hot dogs in hand, in UFC straweights on his mind.
Speaker 2: All of us dongs were deeplybody sent in.
Speaker 1: Wow, they're they're making a sexually transmitted disease joke from
Speaker 1: the eighties nineties about nine to eleven and your love
Speaker 1: of hot dogs, and were laughing because that didn't how
Speaker 1: was that ever gonna make it past the sense of wow?
Speaker 2: Okay, Brennan continues.
Speaker 1: He says, Oh, can you email that to my laptop
Speaker 1: so I can see it? Please?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got you, Brennan says. Also, I just finished
Speaker 2: my first tattoo, so Luke rate that tat.
Speaker 1: What's the actually ship? That looks pretty clean.
Speaker 2: Actually, those colors pop on the forum area.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that actually looks really clean.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to see him underneath
Speaker 2: that tonnel.
Speaker 4: This is Japanese style. You can see the feathers, you know,
Speaker 4: flow with the body geometry. Here, man, I give that
Speaker 4: one a solid nine. That's just really really cooking. But
Speaker 4: by the way, on a Japanese tattoo, you definitely want
Speaker 4: the color saturated, but it's not supposed to pop. I mean,
Speaker 4: you can do whatever you want, obviously, but if you're
Speaker 4: doing a traditional style, the color is supposed to be saturated,
Speaker 4: but not be like, you know, like hot, you know,
Speaker 4: hot pank.
Speaker 1: It's not supposed to be like that's supposed to be
Speaker 1: a little slightly more muted than that.
Speaker 2: Dude, it looks a little like Sean Brady's style.
Speaker 4: Right, Seawn Brady has Japanese tattooing. This is all Japanese tattoo, yes,
Speaker 4: or old school Japanese tattooing.
Speaker 2: Brendan says, I also have a bonus submission. I am
Speaker 2: sure this one will not make it through the North
Speaker 2: Korean censor, so donks, I will post it on the
Speaker 2: Reddit page. Here is an original episode of Room service diaries.
Speaker 2: Oh that one did make.
Speaker 16: You know.
Speaker 1: My favorite part about this is the photos and how
Speaker 1: good that is. Wow.
Speaker 8: Brenham close, I texted you the other meme if you
Speaker 8: want to look at it.
Speaker 2: Brenham closes with thank you Luke and BC for everything
Speaker 2: you do. It's been a pleasure being along for the ride.
Speaker 2: Wishing you both and your famis. Oh, thank you Brenham. Yeah,
Speaker 2: please don't show that on there. Send that to me though,
Speaker 2: if you at Long Island, if you could text that
Speaker 2: to me as well, thank you?
Speaker 1: All right? Do you know how warped you have to
Speaker 1: be to come up with something like this? And it's
Speaker 1: not AI, it's photoshopped, so it's hilarious.
Speaker 2: Were show submission comes from n'amana Nimana Hi donks Nimanja
Speaker 2: from Macedonia here. Excuse me if I if I'm mispronouncing
Speaker 2: that Namana namanja from that Macedonia here. As a Day
Speaker 2: one fan, I am truly sad to see the co
Speaker 2: host of MK leave the show to mark the end
Speaker 2: of an era. Here's a little visual of the initial
Speaker 2: private conversation between LT and BC. Wow, I'm sure that
Speaker 2: in twenty six Luke and other wash Dirt Bags will
Speaker 2: continue to deliver banger episodes into Brian. Best of luck
Speaker 2: on your new job. Don't forget to bring your art
Speaker 2: and make it all make it in all out balls Bonanza.
Speaker 2: I love that we were lucky to have you and
Speaker 2: you'll be missed. Happy holidays from Namana Namando one of
Speaker 2: the two. Luke, this is the breakup with what Jennifer
Speaker 2: Aniston and somebody else.
Speaker 1: I have no fucking idea who's in this movie?
Speaker 2: Yeah, pick a side, right, Vince vaugh Vince Vaughan, thank
Speaker 2: you very much, Long Island that is coming January fifth.
Speaker 2: Today we're breaking up. Well done, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Hawaii's own Telvin. Big Papa, Key Papa,
Speaker 2: a finalist for twenty five Donk of the Year. He says, Aloha, donks,
Speaker 2: this is your favorite Hawaiian here, Big Papa. I wanted
Speaker 2: to send a meme that best describes BC's next chapter
Speaker 2: in his life with none other than Governor Penn.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I understand this.
Speaker 2: I'm beat up, so b BC on MK, I'm beat up,
Speaker 2: you know, and then you gonna.
Speaker 1: Be double champ when you're over at Paramount.
Speaker 2: Yeah. He says, uh, I guess okay, I know all
Speaker 2: of you, all the other donks want to give you
Speaker 2: shit for stepping away from MK. I guess I'll be
Speaker 2: the only donk to say good luck and I'm happy
Speaker 2: for you, BC. I hope to see you cage side
Speaker 2: that UFC events interviewing fighter.
Speaker 1: Why would anyone want you to do poorly getting inside?
Speaker 2: Maybe I sold out to them, Maybe I you know,
Speaker 2: maybe I broke their heart, and it's you gotta do
Speaker 2: what you gotta do sometimes.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: He also says, maybe getting in the fighters locker rooms,
Speaker 2: especially the women's one fifteen fighters, and finally get that.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is starting to turn a little and having
Speaker 1: a good time. What are we doing?
Speaker 2: Finally get that sixteen minute interview with you on a champion. Also,
Speaker 2: if if BC gets an event in Hawaii.
Speaker 1: Yes, can you? Can you just end up right now
Speaker 1: and jack off?
Speaker 2: Can you do that? Also, if BC goes to Hawaii
Speaker 2: for the UFC, I hope to see you at the
Speaker 2: Lava Shack near me and Diaz can finally point down
Speaker 2: and scrap for all your entertainment fro MK promotions. I
Speaker 2: know him and Dad, sorry him and dads will finally scrap.
Speaker 2: I know m K will be fine. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: they'll replace you with Angela White.
Speaker 1: Hey O.
Speaker 2: Anyways, best dishes, best wishes mele khaliki, maka and alha.
Speaker 2: That's Hawaii's way to say yeah to you. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a great song. Let's hear from Nathan. He said thank
Speaker 2: you so much. By the way, Telvin, here's Nathan. He
Speaker 2: says some supper Loha donks. For all the times Luke
Speaker 2: was legitimately annoyed or even a little pissed, Brian eventually
Speaker 2: showed him that it's okay to be silly sometimes, and
Speaker 2: it only took eight years. Skits and bits never die.
Speaker 1: That'll do. Skits and bits that'll do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's about time Luke get on board with the cat.
Speaker 2: And we have one from Genghis Bong, who says, Merry Christmas, MK,
Speaker 2: this is how toilets react every time Luke walks into
Speaker 2: a bathroom. That's so good. That's so good.
Speaker 1: That picture is especially good over my stupid face.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. All right, we are also gonna hear
Speaker 2: from Josh to close out this batch of fan subs,
Speaker 2: who says, I hope a few of these make it in.
Speaker 2: There's also a short video for Brian.
Speaker 1: So that's Wayne Newton with a lightsaber.
Speaker 2: A painting well. Oh sorry, that's that's me dressed up
Speaker 2: as Obi Wan with a paintbrush.
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's Wayne Newton in the back. What is
Speaker 1: Wayne Newton doing?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I'm at Penn Station. Oh you
Speaker 2: know I always say homeless people shower in the in
Speaker 2: the sink.
Speaker 1: I have seen a homeless man cutting his pubic hair.
Speaker 8: I guess dyeing your hair.
Speaker 2: I'm dying my hair. That's it, Luke. I don't know
Speaker 2: the Wayne Newton part of it, but.
Speaker 4: I hate like I think I've compared you to Wayne
Speaker 4: Newton before. That's right with the you haity hair job.
Speaker 2: Remember that shoe polish job. Remember I died it like
Speaker 2: ten minutes before we came down to set for that.
Speaker 1: This meme started a little week and ended up actually quite.
Speaker 2: Strong, actually pretty awesome right there. Oh look at this
Speaker 2: dude that Oh my god, wow, Insurrection Day. Look at
Speaker 2: that Jan six in the house.
Speaker 1: I look a little weird.
Speaker 2: Garbage. Love it? I love it.
Speaker 1: Thirty fourth Street, Penn Station. Oh I'm flexing after taking
Speaker 1: a dump.
Speaker 6: Oh that's this girl.
Speaker 2: Look at the Hasmac guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: If you're wondering what that sash I'm wearing, that's what
Speaker 4: they give you when you go to the Andres Decar restaurant.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh my god, I mean, I don't know who
Speaker 1: leaked the new co host of Morning Combat.
Speaker 2: We're gonna save that announce This was not.
Speaker 1: The way I expected the news to get out.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm just looking at that. That's all one from
Speaker 2: Brenham right now.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the Lugano one. Dude, is that
Speaker 1: the funniest fucking thing you've ever seen in your life?
Speaker 17: Oh?
Speaker 2: Morning Combat at gmail dot com. A quick question for
Speaker 2: me as a fan. Now moving forward, will you still
Speaker 2: have these segments?
Speaker 1: Yes, things like that. I mean, I think one thing
Speaker 1: I would say is they're I mean, obviously everyone's going
Speaker 1: to expect some changes, right, Yeah, it can't be what
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 4: In both good ways and bad. But you know, part
Speaker 4: of the show's DNA is this kind of thing. Okay,
Speaker 4: So if we didn't, it would be a pretty tragic mistake.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna we're gonna do our best to you know.
Speaker 1: To keep that where it can go.
Speaker 2: Hey, let Long Island Luke, cook, let them cook.
Speaker 4: I'm about to just hand over the keys to the
Speaker 4: to the to the kitchen, and that makes no sense,
Speaker 4: but you know whatever, you get the idea.
Speaker 8: We go in hungry tonight.
Speaker 1: In all seriousness, I'm telling you he I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: him his thing house taste.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, indeed, right there? All right, that is your
Speaker 2: fan subs. Now, we go to another filler segment here, Luke,
Speaker 2: I've done this a couple of times people have liked it.
Speaker 2: So for the final time, here is a little one
Speaker 2: I like to call a chatois. So, Luke, I've got
Speaker 2: eight different combinations of three things, and you have to
Speaker 2: rank them, typically from best to worst.
Speaker 1: Okay, you ready for this? Rank things best to worst.
Speaker 2: Potential Connor McGregor, White House opponents, Michael Chandler, Nate Diaz,
Speaker 2: Max Holloway, give me a best to worse arranged those three.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna answer it as follows, best to worst.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have you as a fan, your most in,
Speaker 2: your biggest interest.
Speaker 4: In, and I register upfront. I will answer the question,
Speaker 4: but my real answer is none of them. I don't
Speaker 4: want to see. I don't care about seeing Connor.
Speaker 2: Ever. Oh, Okay, even though the Trump family just invested
Speaker 2: twenty something million in his uh did they into into
Speaker 2: Connor's company?
Speaker 1: That MMA thing? That's fun.
Speaker 4: However, answering the question about like what would produce the
Speaker 4: most compelling.
Speaker 2: Fund Yeah, and make people excited at all that, Yeah.
Speaker 4: You have to go McGregor Diaz three as number one,
Speaker 4: as number one? Okay, you just I mean, I don't
Speaker 4: know what else how you do that? Now someone's gonna say, well,
Speaker 4: isn't of these three? Isn't Max? How the way right
Speaker 4: now the most difficult fight, And the answer is yes. However,
Speaker 4: for that, we've seen Connor lose, you know, not that
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't have a burning desire per se
Speaker 4: to see that necessarily like oh.
Speaker 1: We got a mitchru lose.
Speaker 4: I don't care about that, you know, in that way.
Speaker 4: So also, I would rather see Max fight other people.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna put him last. So by virtue of that,
Speaker 4: Chandler would go second. So go Diaz, Chandler Holloway.
Speaker 2: Chandler has become the least of these three that I
Speaker 2: want to see. I'm kind of so over that matchup.
Speaker 1: I don't I think Halloway wins that one walking away
Speaker 1: Long Island.
Speaker 2: Look are you with me? We're like, even though it's
Speaker 2: probably competitive, like Chandler's kind of irrelevant.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I'm with you. And also with Burt Krysler
Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve.
Speaker 2: I did see that, Burt Chrysler.
Speaker 8: I'd actually rather see Max the most, just because Max
Speaker 8: finishing Connor in like two rounds would be pretty fun.
Speaker 2: That would be pretty that would be something that it
Speaker 2: would be morbid, but that'd be something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean yeah, it'd be a spectacle, probably for
Speaker 4: different reasons for all three?
Speaker 2: What about four? Three didn't really tell us much beyond
Speaker 2: Connor's dislike for Poier's wife.
Speaker 4: Again, I think the only one where I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's just the only one that really mean.
Speaker 2: The battle of each other. It has almost a thriller
Speaker 2: and Manila vibe right where let's not all right, let's
Speaker 2: not go that far. Number two Luke timeless m K
Speaker 2: one liners from best to worst, let's bang tooey. I'm
Speaker 2: feeling these margaritas, Brian Campbell and real.
Speaker 1: Talk like this is an easy one for me.
Speaker 4: Okay, again, best to worst, I'm probably gonna put it
Speaker 4: in the exact order you have it. The Let's Bang
Speaker 4: twoy one to me was fucking hilarious.
Speaker 2: The throwaway comment from Greg Hardy calling out tais.
Speaker 1: Bang he offered to like, let's it's bank, but.
Speaker 2: Not as iconic as Let's bang each chowder.
Speaker 4: Let's bang each odder really is the home run hitter
Speaker 4: in that particular department. However, among these three.
Speaker 2: I'm feeling these margaritas is like, arguably the most iconic
Speaker 2: line in this show's history possible.
Speaker 1: You can say that, however, I have less warm feelings
Speaker 1: about them.
Speaker 4: And also I hate real talk like bindo, and I've
Speaker 4: always hated it and I still hate it.
Speaker 2: I wish you would employ it once in a while.
Speaker 1: All Right, says the guy going to paramount.
Speaker 2: Shuts your mouth, Shut your whore mouth. All right, Let's
Speaker 2: go to number three rock albums released in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 2: The Black album is self titled Metallica by Metallica. Never
Speaker 2: mind the second album from Nirvana or the debut from
Speaker 2: Pearl Jam ten.
Speaker 4: We'll call I'm gonna talk about Metallica, the Black Album, right, Jesus, Now,
Speaker 4: what are you asking me here?
Speaker 2: Personally? Personally best to worst?
Speaker 1: So how do I answer that? How I feel about
Speaker 1: it now or how I felt about it in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety one.
Speaker 2: It's kind of combined. It's kind of like, Okay, then,
Speaker 2: I guess more, Now, I guess more.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 4: I have not a single bad thing to say about Nirvana,
Speaker 4: And in fact, as I've gotten older, I've actually liked
Speaker 4: them more and more. But during my teens, for whatever reason,
Speaker 4: my friends and I they were into Nirvana but not heavy,
Speaker 4: and I was more into Metallica.
Speaker 2: You can recognize that never Mind is start to finish
Speaker 2: out just one.
Speaker 1: Of the most defining songs of the nineteen nineties, if not.
Speaker 2: The most, like Rolling Stone rated it the number one
Speaker 2: album of the nineties.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the first place you heard when you
Speaker 1: heard it?
Speaker 2: Seeing the smells like Teen Spirit video on MTV? But
Speaker 2: the first time I heard the record, I don't remember now.
Speaker 4: I was in a van with I actually went to
Speaker 4: church at the time, and I was in the church
Speaker 4: basketball team. No, no church, don't get me started. No
Speaker 4: a real church, well, I guess Christian church. And we
Speaker 4: were all in the bus on the way to the
Speaker 4: game and it came on the radio and the other
Speaker 4: kids had already heard it, and I was like, what
Speaker 4: is this?
Speaker 1: And then then they explained it to me and I
Speaker 1: was like, holy shit, No, it was great.
Speaker 4: But for me, Metaca by Metallica was like the first
Speaker 4: time I was eleven years old, and that was the
Speaker 4: first time I was ever actually really fully exposed to.
Speaker 1: Anything, even cold heavy metal.
Speaker 4: Everyone around me didn't listen to it, but that album
Speaker 4: became so culturally significant that it was impossible to miss.
Speaker 4: Right Obviously, the Enter Sandman was a gigantic song and
Speaker 4: nothing else matters, by the way, and remember this came
Speaker 4: right after there was some controversy because they cut their
Speaker 4: hair a little bit and everything.
Speaker 1: Not for this one, not for this one.
Speaker 2: No, they didn't cut their hair, but they commercialized their sound.
Speaker 4: This came after and Justice for All, So you know,
Speaker 4: you went from one on a Justice for All two
Speaker 4: nothing else matters.
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a anyway, but there was a
Speaker 1: big one.
Speaker 4: And then as a kid to ten Bob Rock that
Speaker 4: produced Method I think that's I think that's right, or
Speaker 4: the guy who was part of some kind of monster
Speaker 4: I forget his name. Anyway, Ten when I was a kid,
Speaker 4: would I say, play a more significant role than never
Speaker 4: Mind by Nirvana?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Ten was Jeremy was huge.
Speaker 2: Every song, literally every song started to finish as an
Speaker 2: absolute ten out of ten banger.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that album one.
Speaker 2: I think it's my fourth favorite album of all time.
Speaker 4: What I mean like, at this time in my life,
Speaker 4: I wasn't exactly listening to hardcore metal.
Speaker 1: I got, I've got. I've gotten increasingly more into it
Speaker 1: over time.
Speaker 2: I go CBA, that's just personal interest. But by the way,
Speaker 2: these were all released in a relatively like the same
Speaker 2: period in terms of weeks, So was use your Illusion
Speaker 2: one to two by Guns and Rows. It's just it's
Speaker 2: incredible long island. Luka, I'm gonna guess you're gonna go
Speaker 2: ten first. What do you feel about the other two?
Speaker 8: CBA, same orders?
Speaker 2: Okay, I appreciate that, Thank you very much. Let's go
Speaker 2: to number four. Better historical resume, Slash Legacy, jose Aldough,
Speaker 2: Daniel Cormier, and our guests today at noon.
Speaker 1: Randy Couture can't wait to talk to Randy.
Speaker 2: Who if I if I asked you give me a
Speaker 2: goat list of the top twenty, like in order of
Speaker 2: these where do these guys fall? Not what number?
Speaker 4: But like this is going to be a controversial one
Speaker 4: because obviously what you're dealing with. In the case of
Speaker 4: Cormier and Kature, you are dealing with people who are
Speaker 4: champions in.
Speaker 1: Multiple weight classes, and Josey Aldo is not.
Speaker 4: And for that reason, I think a lot of people
Speaker 4: are going to be tempted to rank them more highly. However,
Speaker 4: I think the hardest thing to do in MMA is
Speaker 4: stand a post in a weight class and maintain its
Speaker 4: guardianship over time.
Speaker 1: The longer you do it, the harder it becomes.
Speaker 4: And I also think just terms of pure skill level,
Speaker 4: Josey Aldo is the most skillful of all three of them,
Speaker 4: so I would go he.
Speaker 2: Was the first truly great fighter of the smaller weight classes.
Speaker 2: Faber was the first star, yes, but Aldo was the
Speaker 2: first truly.
Speaker 1: It depends how you want started.
Speaker 4: But like, certainly in North America, uh first, you know,
Speaker 4: like widely regarded pound for poundish.
Speaker 2: Kind of guy didn't need to even play into when
Speaker 2: the UFC title went from w.
Speaker 4: After beating the shed of your favor too. I have
Speaker 4: not looked Attor's resume recently. I'd have to think about
Speaker 4: this one a little bit.
Speaker 2: It was a different era, but dude, he was the
Speaker 2: comebacks the age that he was doing these things as
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: One thing that I think the current fans really are
Speaker 1: gonna miss.
Speaker 4: I can't remember the last I mean, dude, when Katre
Speaker 4: I've said, I bring this up all the time. When
Speaker 4: Katur came back against Sylvia.
Speaker 2: When he dropped him around one that was Columbus, Ohio, they.
Speaker 1: Were yes, he inside leg kick and then just came
Speaker 1: over with it.
Speaker 4: And I mean every house party in America that was
Speaker 4: watching that got on their feet, was trying.
Speaker 2: To like send him into retirement, so that once again
Speaker 2: UFC was trying to use Randy's name to put somebody
Speaker 2: else over and send him off.
Speaker 1: Into it again.
Speaker 4: He had the last time you had seen him, he
Speaker 4: had been iced by Chuck Ladell, even quicker than the
Speaker 4: time before he got iced by Chuck Ladell, and you
Speaker 4: thought he was done so and then he goes and
Speaker 4: beats fucking beats the ship out of.
Speaker 2: Tim get the credit he well, first of all, he
Speaker 2: doesn't get the credit he deserves because he's been at
Speaker 2: odds with UFC, so they don't. But does he not
Speaker 2: get the credit he reserved deserves for evolving the game
Speaker 2: dirty boxing, putting the whole game together at.
Speaker 4: A time, and I also think some of those guys,
Speaker 4: the Rico Chipperelli raw guys like Frank Trigg and Dan
Speaker 4: Henderson and Matt Linlan, these guys obviously brought a high
Speaker 4: level wrestling overall. The guys who were Greco put a
Speaker 4: lot of Greco thought into it. I also think Randy
Speaker 4: has a lot of like half guard ground and pound
Speaker 4: stuff that he kind of set the tone with the
Speaker 4: games evolved past them. Obviously they've been out for a while.
Speaker 4: But also just again, you know you had Matt Linlan
Speaker 4: and silver medallist, but you know Henderson Olympian, Kator, Olympic alternate,
Speaker 4: and these guys all wrestled at high level and c
Speaker 4: double a.
Speaker 1: Ed Herman he didn't wrestle like that.
Speaker 2: Oh he was part of that team.
Speaker 1: Though he was part of that team, but that was
Speaker 1: Team Quest. I don't think he was a Chipperelli raw guy.
Speaker 2: He was a ginger too.
Speaker 4: He was a ginger anyway they brought. I'm i'd have
Speaker 4: to review the resumes.
Speaker 2: Dude, Cormbier is criminally under rayed.
Speaker 1: Yeah he is.
Speaker 4: I might go, I might go I might go ABC,
Speaker 4: but it could you could go AC be potentially.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'd like to argue Cormiers first. People get mad
Speaker 2: at me when I say that, but I think I
Speaker 2: think after Cormier beat Steepe, he was h He was
Speaker 2: like as close to the goat conversation as possible without
Speaker 2: having beaten Johnny.
Speaker 1: I think a thing that real people really sleep on.
Speaker 18: You know.
Speaker 4: By the way, something happened that we were out. You
Speaker 4: see Uol Romero against Pat Downey at raw wrestling. Just
Speaker 4: a fucking marvel of genetics. Yeah, but I bring it
Speaker 4: up to say, couture.
Speaker 1: Sorry.
Speaker 4: On Cormier's case, I mean, this is really his second
Speaker 4: athletic career. Yeah, his first one. He had a full
Speaker 4: life of that, and then he's on bonus time here.
Speaker 4: And even with that, look at all the stint things
Speaker 4: that he did. He was a real dude. Daniel Cormier
Speaker 4: was a He got in trouble because he was like,
Speaker 4: if I was around today, I'd be champion.
Speaker 1: There's no wrestlers.
Speaker 4: I think it's not about like heavyweight, And people were like, oh,
Speaker 4: of course he would say that. Dude, Daniel Cormier would
Speaker 4: be fucking was great. Daniel Cormier would be dumping these
Speaker 4: motherfuckers on their heads.
Speaker 2: Head kicks too, like he had the incomplete kicks.
Speaker 1: Don't get it, twist it at all all.
Speaker 2: Right, let's go to number five for you personally, a
Speaker 2: worse This is from worst to best, Okay, a worst
Speaker 2: depression or anxiety trigger for you Amtrak DT forty five
Speaker 2: forty seven or Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond.
Speaker 4: If I'm being dead fucking honest. If I'm being dead
Speaker 4: fucking honest, dude, it's Amtrak.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 2: You know how many times that you will text me
Speaker 2: when so Usually after the show, you and I both
Speaker 2: go to the Amtrak business lounge where we get like
Speaker 2: free food and we just chill until our trains are called.
Speaker 2: There are so many times where you will text me
Speaker 2: a half hour later and be like, Bill, haven't left
Speaker 2: the building. This shit is actually killing me. This shit
Speaker 2: is sending me to an early grave.
Speaker 1: Sending me to an early grave. I'm telling you, it's
Speaker 1: sending me to an early grave. I have, dude.
Speaker 4: I moved to New York City in October of two
Speaker 4: thousand and three, but I was not done with my
Speaker 4: military obligation until the end of two thousand and four,
Speaker 4: essentially all of it.
Speaker 1: And uh. During that time, I had to go back
Speaker 1: to Richmond. My unit was.
Speaker 4: A hotel battery or three fourteen fourth more div And
Speaker 4: since that time, all the way up to now, almost
Speaker 4: on a monthly basis. And remember there was a time
Speaker 4: where a year I did it two times a week.
Speaker 4: For an entire year, I've been taking the train and
Speaker 4: I just have to tell everyone. Everyone's like, oh, but
Speaker 4: aren't you in the as Slate corridor, which I am
Speaker 4: the A solic corridor is anything from Washington, DC to Boston.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he goes to Philly, Delaware, New.
Speaker 4: York, hold on Earth, and that's the most high functioning.
Speaker 4: And I can tell you that's a relative fucking description.
Speaker 4: I don't want to beat up on rail anymore than
Speaker 4: I already do, because we need more rail in this country.
Speaker 2: But dude, especially in our young males, right, we need
Speaker 2: more rail yards.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, But it is not a
Speaker 1: good service and it has absolutely grounded me into.
Speaker 2: Funck irony is that like you were so against trains
Speaker 2: in the Marines, but now like.
Speaker 1: You know that, well, I pay for the ticket on
Speaker 1: this one, Okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: This is a different one. So obviously then after that
Speaker 4: I would go the worst. Yeah, this would be like
Speaker 4: the least. Then Sweet Caroline is annoying, but I could
Speaker 4: just hit mute.
Speaker 2: You know, I thought you were gonna go be AC.
Speaker 2: You're going to ABC, So I.
Speaker 4: Mean there's existential stuff. But if I'm being honest, like
Speaker 4: day to day, like what like, how the fuck am
Speaker 4: I going to get the day? Honestly, A kills me
Speaker 4: more than that.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to number six higher ranking best
Speaker 2: to worst on the NBA goat list, Lebron James, we'll
Speaker 2: be Bryant Taquille O'Neill.
Speaker 1: I am poorly equipped to make this, okay, but I
Speaker 1: want to hear you. I'll say this.
Speaker 4: I've never seen a more physically dominant player than Shaquille O'Neill.
Speaker 1: In my life.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I just want to MVP Awards.
Speaker 1: I understand.
Speaker 4: I saw a Chema lodgowantas a little bit of that career.
Speaker 4: I saw who's the Admiral David Robinson. He was fucking great.
Speaker 4: Tim Duncan, criminally underrated Tim Duncan. There was a guy
Speaker 4: named Jordan who was bread Well I'm talking about big Man. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Patrick Ewing saw Patrick Alonzo morning. Yes, you know all
Speaker 4: the George Town guys.
Speaker 1: I saw them too. I saw a lot of that
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and none of them had what Shaq had.
Speaker 2: He also won four championships.
Speaker 1: Yes, Kobe won five, but Lebron's up to five.
Speaker 2: Right, le Bron's up to four.
Speaker 1: I believe how many does Lebron have?
Speaker 13: Four?
Speaker 2: I think he's made the finals eleven times and he's
Speaker 2: won four.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but wait, why do I feel like you're wrong?
Speaker 8: With Kobe and Shack? Didn't they threepeat and then repeat?
Speaker 2: And then no, they three repeated. Shaq got one and
Speaker 2: O six with the heat, Kobe got nine and ten
Speaker 2: powers okay, all right with pow Yeah, nine and ten.
Speaker 1: I just said right there, I would probably go shack.
Speaker 2: Lebron's the all time leading scorer.
Speaker 4: He's also got longevity in ways that's unusual, but that
Speaker 4: that's not the same as like.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a Boulet Luciferian tattoo on his chest.
Speaker 2: But that's like another top in for another podcast.
Speaker 1: I think you need to talk to I think you
Speaker 1: need to talk to somebody. You're scaring me a little.
Speaker 1: I'll go, I'll go shack Lebron Kobe. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's right. I don't know if that's right.
Speaker 2: It's just your opinion. I appreciate that best movie trilogies
Speaker 2: best to worst. Star Wars episode four through six the
Speaker 2: original three, right, Okay, the Matrix are Back to the Future.
Speaker 1: This is an easy one.
Speaker 4: Okay, Star Wars episodes four through six is clearly the
Speaker 4: right answer. The Matrix one might genuinely be the best
Speaker 4: of any of the movies.
Speaker 2: See that is true.
Speaker 4: That is true, but that is the trilogy. The second
Speaker 4: one gets kind of off the rails, although it has
Speaker 4: some interesting moments. And then the third one is Rise
Speaker 4: of Skywalker.
Speaker 1: Three. Yeah, yeah's I.
Speaker 2: Couldn't be Godfather in here because that would be a
Speaker 2: number one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The strength.
Speaker 1: Back to the Future one and two were great. I
Speaker 1: thought three fell off a little bit.
Speaker 4: Still pretty damn good, more than you think, because actually
Speaker 4: we watched it over the holidays, but it's still one
Speaker 4: and two were.
Speaker 1: Much much better and they were very clever.
Speaker 2: So you're going so I'd go a c B.
Speaker 4: I think that's the answer, even if the first Matrix
Speaker 4: is the best of any Now, Jay.
Speaker 2: Aaron, who has a documentary about Back to the Future,
Speaker 2: there are people in my life.
Speaker 1: I tried to watch it and it wasn't available anywhere
Speaker 1: that I had to pay, and I.
Speaker 2: Was like, yeah, a lot of people I know say
Speaker 2: the back Back in the Future is a perfect movie
Speaker 2: and the best movie.
Speaker 1: I showed it to two key.
Speaker 2: It is pretty much a perfect movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah she didn't she fell asleep.
Speaker 2: Okay, here finally, Luke, you're on a This is best
Speaker 2: to worst a car passenger next to you, sitting next
Speaker 2: to you in a car yep for a three thousand
Speaker 2: mile road trip. God my coppinger Versace Reno or h
Speaker 2: e oh my god.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna film and Louise that motherfucker at the first cliff.
Speaker 2: I see, this is difficult. Look this is you're doing
Speaker 2: three thousand miles, So that's like at least three days, right,
Speaker 2: maybe even more like if you drove it straight through
Speaker 2: and you alternated drive and you can probably do it
Speaker 2: in two and a half. But we're talking about four
Speaker 2: to five days.
Speaker 1: Probably.
Speaker 4: Once again, I'm not making it to the finish line
Speaker 4: on this. This is gonna be like storming the beach
Speaker 4: at Normandy. We're not all going to be here.
Speaker 2: At the end. You know, I got a feeling.
Speaker 4: Fuck me, probably Reno one because I can laugh at
Speaker 4: his clothing, Okay, and at least we'll get me through
Speaker 4: the first one thousand miles. Turkey's gotta go last. Just
Speaker 4: can't it, Just can't do it.
Speaker 1: Something can't walk on eggshells, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I gotta be free. So then I'll just put Mike
Speaker 1: in the pulpit or the past.
Speaker 2: That was orange. Thank you very much for playing, Luke Thomas.
Speaker 2: As we continue this fun and games, you know, I
Speaker 2: did create this segment that really is, you know, arguably
Speaker 2: the most electrifying piece of content each week in combat
Speaker 2: sports and podcasting beyond Luke, where I Scott with the
Speaker 2: globe high as low as the good, the bad, the ugly,
Speaker 2: the in between, you know, in the world of combat
Speaker 2: sports and beyond. For the final time between you and I,
Speaker 2: I have shit. We will pick if you will greateth
Speaker 2: have you seen my ship?
Speaker 1: What's the secret to MK?
Speaker 2: Toilet toilet humor?
Speaker 1: Luke?
Speaker 2: This is a little bit of a of a super
Speaker 2: sized one because you know, you got to go hard
Speaker 2: or go home at the end here, I do feel
Speaker 2: like this segment was I don't know if you're going
Speaker 2: to continue or not. Have no problem if you do.
Speaker 2: But I feel like I was running out of juice,
Speaker 2: our ideas, like we've seen everything, right, We've seen so
Speaker 2: many but I tried my best to put it together.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let's see what you got for the.

Speaker 4: job here on the exit. Uh, way to stick to landing.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I didn't really I texted you this.

Speaker 2: on all of these.
Speaker 1: That would be bad.
Speaker 2: That's gonna kill the segment.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. I want to see it.
Speaker 8: There's no way for me to see until we play them.
Speaker 8: But I have a feeling since the first two were supposed.
Speaker 2: To do and they don't, and by the way, that
Speaker 2: would be really bad. Can you is there any way
Speaker 2: that we can pause and you can check that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Can we do that?
Speaker 1: Yes? Or no? I don't know.
Speaker 2: That was a that is we're working on it.

Speaker 8: I'll play it again.
Speaker 1: I am something or someone. You can take it off.
Speaker 1: You can take it off.
Speaker 2: You should should exist. It didn't exist, all right. Look,
Speaker 2: let's go to you ever played g t A so
Speaker 2: much that you get in your car, start driving, Start
Speaker 2: driving like a maniac, you know. I mean, let's watch this.
Speaker 2: Watch this red car. They threw a ball at it
Speaker 2: and it just.
Speaker 1: Get the Oh.
Speaker 2: They live though they lived.
Speaker 1: They lived.
Speaker 2: That is wild, right, that is so wild. No funeral
Speaker 2: is necessary for this one, but let's go to a
Speaker 2: real funeral. Watch the door dashed flower delivery guy there
Speaker 2: with the backpack.
Speaker 1: This is uh, these guys, I'm gonna guess this is
Speaker 1: Latin America. Oh my god. The guys are everywhere when
Speaker 1: they have the backpacks like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta watch where you're going. They buried him
Speaker 2: right after that. Look, it's time for some dream cars.
Speaker 2: That's my dream. The next one is all about driving
Speaker 2: solo or maybe hope solo.
Speaker 1: Luke, dude, you're out of control.
Speaker 2: You're you must just go hard here in the painter.
Speaker 1: No right, don't get me fucking fired.
Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, Look it is time to rate that TAT.
Speaker 2: I'll see this tat at the top. Give me a
Speaker 2: one to ten score.
Speaker 1: Luke, I'm afraid this is a solid five.
Speaker 2: It's not bad, right, I mean the guy.
Speaker 1: There are parts of it that are not bad, but
Speaker 1: it's not it's got some problems like the.
Speaker 2: Body, like his body is there? Off does his does
Speaker 2: his flab downgrade the test to be honest.
Speaker 4: Not necessarily because the surface is covered pretty well, but
Speaker 4: you know his I mean it's yeah, this is not
Speaker 4: my favorite.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, let's keep it UFC themed and go
Speaker 2: to the goat himself. John Bones Jones on the chest tattoo.
Speaker 1: On to tee. Uh, it's not a bad tattoo. Actually,
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good tattoo.
Speaker 4: The problem is, and it will lighten over time, but
Speaker 4: it's got some legibility issues by virtue of how he's
Speaker 4: done the coloring on this a little bit. So it's
Speaker 4: not a bad tattoo. The teeth, for example, are great,
Speaker 4: and the ears are great. There's a lot of it,
Speaker 4: and though the sweat quality you can see is all sure,
Speaker 4: it's good. It's not a bad tattoo. It's just there's
Speaker 4: legibility issues there.
Speaker 1: So what do you rate it? I'll give that a
Speaker 1: seven or eight.
Speaker 2: All right, let's keep it going with the UFC theme.
Speaker 2: Here there's two time champion Alexander Volkanovsky.
Speaker 1: On weird ass titties on this one too.
Speaker 2: That ain't old man.
Speaker 4: Do you know he looks like do you remember that
Speaker 4: movie the black and white what semi black and white
Speaker 4: movie Sin.
Speaker 1: City with Bruce Willis?
Speaker 4: Yes, and you're the evil guy who was the control
Speaker 4: of the girl out? He was yellow and I think
Speaker 4: they cut his balls or his pecker off or something.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: No, do you remember that? Have you seen Sin City?
Speaker 1: Anyone seen Sin City?
Speaker 13: Back there?
Speaker 4: They know what I'm talking about. Yeah, he looks kind
Speaker 4: of like that in this picture. It's a it's a
Speaker 4: it's a cool moment.
Speaker 2: But the Korean censors look unsettled right now.
Speaker 1: They look a little on settle the Uh.
Speaker 4: Here's the thing I'm gonna say, dude, If you're gonna
Speaker 4: get real life portrait tattoos, yes, here's my feeling. You
Speaker 4: need to make sure you're paying top dollars. I think
Speaker 4: it's it's it's not a horrible tattoo, but it's not
Speaker 4: a good one. Here's the problem getting good. I would
Speaker 4: say this dude, photo realistic tattoos. It's either good or
Speaker 4: it's like there's there's no like. Oh it's a semi
Speaker 4: decent photo realist. No, you need to get like the
Speaker 4: pay for the highest level, or just don't get it
Speaker 4: at all. There's no middle ground.
Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to the next tat here's a
Speaker 2: Senator Palpatine.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a great tattoo, even though.
Speaker 2: It makes him look a little bit goofy the colors.
Speaker 4: It's the style of it's the style of tattoo. And
Speaker 4: this is like a what you would call it an
Speaker 4: American traditional style. Obviously, now this particular case, you're remixing
Speaker 4: format and colors and everything.
Speaker 1: This is a nine out of ten. That's a wow.
Speaker 1: That's a great tattoo.
Speaker 2: All right, let's see what you rank our final one
Speaker 2: on a holiday themed tat.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a negative eight billion out of eight billion.
Speaker 2: Oh god, what he said? Merry Christmas? Bitches? What's wrong here,
Speaker 2: Luke grow You didn't play its creative though?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 2: You give that like a three?
Speaker 1: Maybe Randy Kator likes that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, Raandy Kator likes grass on the field. I've
Speaker 2: seen his Twitter account. All right, we got one more
Speaker 2: video to close it out. For years, we've been talking
Speaker 2: about Aaron Pico's horse right and what he brings to
Speaker 2: the table. Did you ever see Aaron Peacole's donkey before?

Speaker 2: The humor of the goofiness of self awareness. The Dumb
Speaker 2: Movie references the great music and the reminder not to
Speaker 2: take ourselves too seriously. The show has been a highlight
Speaker 2: of his weeks, especially on his late night drives home

Speaker 2: to jiu jitsu class. It's been a ritual, especially during
Speaker 2: the long nights. Cass also talking about some favorite MK memories,

Speaker 2: has a photo. He says, I was watching the show
Speaker 2: while eating breakfast the other day, and when BC broke
Speaker 2: the news, my heart sank to the floor. I've been
Speaker 2: a fan since twenty twenty, and even though my interest
Speaker 2: in the UFC has recently waned due to a lack
Speaker 2: of meritocracy and uninspired matchmaking. MK has been a staple
Speaker 2: of my life and losing the econic duo is truly
Speaker 2: heart breaking. His favorite moment was Luke reading the favorite
Speaker 2: discontinued Foods question on O g RSD. Here's a picture
Speaker 2: of BC and Okay, so this is uh Jason sent
Speaker 2: this in, but this is me with Jason's dad at
Speaker 2: our live show in Vegas. He said, I begged my
Speaker 2: parents to stop by because I couldn't be there myself.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome.

Speaker 2: f YOUFC goes to Japan for Tyra Horgucci try to
Speaker 2: avoid another rise in debacle MK for life. So this
Speaker 2: dude couldn't make it to our live show, so he
Speaker 2: sent his parents and in his place, and his dad
Speaker 2: waited in the line, took a picture with me.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that's pretty awesome? Can you imagine what
Speaker 1: my dad would have certified? Ask, Oh my god, you'd.
Speaker 2: Been like, uh, here, son, here's here's a Roy Rogers coupon,
Speaker 2: don't ever talk to me. Yeah, yeah, that would wow.
Speaker 2: I really appreciate that he sent his dad, and his
Speaker 2: dad took you know, waited in line.

Speaker 24: you're a legend. You're great at everything you do, from
Speaker 24: boxing commentary to dig jokes and mildly racist gestures about
Speaker 24: Japanese MMA organizations. But above all, I'm genuinely moved by
Speaker 24: the fact that you are the only person to ever
Speaker 24: fully understand my art. That may be a bad reflection
Speaker 24: on you as a person. I don't know any mate,
Speaker 24: No more door dash, You've made it. BC is coming
Speaker 24: on three words.
Speaker 1: We act.

Speaker 21: Oh oh my god.
Speaker 1: That was great.

Speaker 33: BC.
Speaker 32: Thank you for everything you've done for us, always including
Speaker 32: us in the culture of the show. You are phenomenal
Speaker 32: you're such a talent, best in the business. I always
Speaker 32: say thank you for spending personals in some private time
Speaker 32: with us at the live show in London. Truly truly
Speaker 32: a highlight of everything.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, BC.
Speaker 32: We'll be following your career. Love you so much, brother,
Speaker 32: and two words, we hope.
Speaker 2: Great stuff, very nice, very heartfelt, very much appreciate that
Speaker 2: you know our boy Joe the former ex Maray which
Speaker 2: one is not former from Pennsylvania, Rundemn Cheeks in the house.
Speaker 2: Let's hear.
Speaker 1: Hey, BC, it's Joe and hann of Rundom Cheeks Fame.
Speaker 34: Just wanted to thank you for everything you've done with
Speaker 34: MK and fair Winds and following sees to you in
Speaker 34: your future and thanks for having you seen this shit.
Speaker 2: By the way, Joe wore the bomber jacket. Remember when
Speaker 2: they climbed that mountain. I was at Mount Fuji's. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was fantastic. Thank you Joe and Hannah. The next
Speaker 2: one is from Micah. He wrote a note to us.
Speaker 2: He said, I wanted to put a stamp on the
Speaker 2: whole sauce segment. BC is the sauce. I'll explain why
Speaker 2: a sauce elevates a dish. Luke is the dish chicken
Speaker 2: is good on its own, but chicken can be much
Speaker 2: better with a rich, buttery sauce. The sauce brings out
Speaker 2: the potential of the chicken. Do I want to drink
Speaker 2: the sauce on its own?
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 2: No, but that sauce can make the dish five times better.
Speaker 2: You two had the perfect chemistry, the yin and the yang.
Speaker 2: All the best to BC in the next chapter, and
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to see what the next evolution of
Speaker 2: MK looks like. Happy New Year. Wow, thank you, Michaeh.
Speaker 2: That was well said, well done, right there, Luke a
Speaker 2: great friend of our show. Average Joe Arjo Romero, California Fame,
Speaker 2: Dog Fame. We love this guy. He sent in a
Speaker 2: note to us. He says, Hi, guys, I wanted to
Speaker 2: take a second to write something out for BC's final
Speaker 2: full time show and share what MK has meant to
Speaker 2: me over the years. I've told both of you personally
Speaker 2: that my mom passed away suddenly in late twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: It was a real bad time for me, real bad
Speaker 2: Nothing made sense anymore, and the world just felt dark.
Speaker 2: Watching an episode in MK in twenty twenty was the
Speaker 2: first time I remember laughing. After that, I don't remember
Speaker 2: what it was, but I remember an interaction between you
Speaker 2: two that made me laugh. From there, I sort of
Speaker 2: grew to accept that it was okay to laugh and
Speaker 2: enjoy things again. It was a healing moment when I
Speaker 2: needed it the most. When our beloved dogs, Brutus and
Speaker 2: Bagel passed away, you both took time out on the
Speaker 2: show each time to mention them in other words of
Speaker 2: kindness and comfort. It's something I'll never forget. For me,
Speaker 2: MK has always felt like two friends that offer comfort
Speaker 2: when times are good bad, or in between, when the
Speaker 2: rest of the world didn't make sense. BC ANDLT were
Speaker 2: there to offer levity and escape within a two hour show. BC,
Speaker 2: we love you, brother. I'm sorry to see you go,
Speaker 2: but I'm excited to watch your next chapter, Luke. The
Speaker 2: show couldn't be in more capable hands, and I'm really
Speaker 2: excited to see what you, Lil the rest of the
Speaker 2: crew have in store. We're rooting for you forever. A
Speaker 2: fan MK for life, Average Joe. That was well said
Speaker 2: right there. So the fact that we could somehow be
Speaker 2: trusted to fill that hole when people lives are going.
Speaker 2: You know, we all have seasons of heck. We go
Speaker 2: your life can go to heck. And if we became
Speaker 2: that for people, whether it was the pandemic or whether
Speaker 2: it was after a loss of a loved one, good lord, Look,
Speaker 2: that mean that's that's an important job. And I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: We also had some ex staffers send in some videos here.
Speaker 1: I want to see who didn't send one in.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think we need to shame them, but.
Speaker 1: I just want to want to congratulate and thank them.
Speaker 2: I appreciated you know, everyone from Showtime, CBS, Sports, Malka,
Speaker 2: everyone who sent in, but everyone who.
Speaker 1: Worked best question the most surprising person who reached out.
Speaker 2: I don't even have an answer. Oh I told you
Speaker 2: John Goodin from UFC. Oh right, that's awesome of them.
Speaker 2: I mean it's just been so much love out pouring,
Speaker 2: and I really just think we we were hard on
Speaker 2: our staff, like we expected a lot out of them.
Speaker 2: We shook those Macha guys up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was very tough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, you know, I mean, like how
Speaker 2: about a guy like Mikey Mormle from Seeing you know
Speaker 2: what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like just was the rock of our show at somebody
Speaker 1: who put it in the hard yards, who just.
Speaker 2: You know, whether it was keeping us in it together
Speaker 2: and happy and moving forward or just doing the hard
Speaker 2: work behind the scenes, you know, Matt Snyder of Showtime,
Speaker 2: Courtney Mag. How about all the great people from Malca
Speaker 2: like Ashley Engaged by the way, Yeah, shout out to
Speaker 2: Courtney Mag.
Speaker 1: We appreciate what that on Instagram Official.
Speaker 2: So many people that I want to mention. A couple
Speaker 2: of these people sent in the videos our first one
Speaker 2: coming at us. I believe it's from our boy. What
Speaker 2: do you think about Corey Minicci, Just one of the best.
Speaker 1: Just excellence.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go there.
Speaker 16: What's up BC and the MK fan? First of all,
Speaker 16: congrats on the new gig. Sounds great and definitely fully deserved.
Speaker 16: Excited to see what you build over there with CBS,
Speaker 16: with the new UFC format. Man, there's definitely been a
Speaker 16: lot of changes to MK over the past couple of years,
Speaker 16: but it was definitely sad and emotional here and that
Speaker 16: it's over in the way that we knew it. So
Speaker 16: thank you for all the good times, all the laughs.
Speaker 16: I miss all those studio days, all the all the
Speaker 16: days on the road. One story that quickly comes to
Speaker 16: mind is, UH, when you dipped out on us on
Speaker 16: dinner because you were too deep into the uh the
Speaker 16: Delta eight's and UH sat down for dinner in Vegas,
Speaker 16: I think it was a diner in New York, New York,
Speaker 16: sat down with I think it was me, Mikey and
Speaker 16: Jake von Amsterdam. You sat down, you looked the menu,
Speaker 16: and you said, I gotta go to bed. You went
Speaker 16: to bed, and then we walked through the casino maybe
Speaker 16: an hour later, and saw you grabbing a pizza.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Very good times, man, too many good times to name.
Speaker 16: Love the the doc rewatch alongs. I've watched them through
Speaker 16: a couple of times recently too, and just reminisce and uh, yeah,
Speaker 16: we really had a good thing going man.
Speaker 1: So I'm happy for you.
Speaker 16: I'll still be tuned into m K, I'll of course
Speaker 16: still be tuned into Main Car Minute, and I'll be
Speaker 16: tuned into everything you got cooking over there, uh with
Speaker 16: CBS and UFC, with the new ventures. So happy for you,
Speaker 16: and UH looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: I love that guy that was at the Italian restaurant
Speaker 2: in New York, New York, and I Lithuanian exited. I'm like,

Speaker 2: but then I woke up and I'm like, y, I
Speaker 2: can crush some.
Speaker 1: This is what BC does.
Speaker 4: I'd be like, you want to go to dinner? He's like, no, dude,

Speaker 1: in d C a few months ago.
Speaker 2: From what's the name of the Chasing status was there
Speaker 2: as well. And by the way, he came with gifts.
Speaker 1: You sure did he? Sure he showed up like marijuana
Speaker 1: Santa CLIs.
Speaker 2: Wow, dude, wow. Matt Snyder showing up in that as well.
Speaker 1: Matt Snyder, you can speak on the microphone if he
Speaker 1: wants to say anything. Matt, do you want to say anything?
Speaker 1: On the air. No, he's done.
Speaker 2: He had tight pants. Let's let him know that. But
Speaker 2: I want to say, I'm not.
Speaker 1: Sure he showered this one.
Speaker 2: Matt Snyder. I used to I used to call Matt
Speaker 2: Snyder like five times a day because I just wanted
Speaker 2: this show to work and last and survive. And I said,
Speaker 2: one day, one day, Matt, the show will consume ninety
Speaker 2: percent of not just your work, weekly your life. And
Speaker 2: I don't know if we ever got to that point,
Speaker 2: but Matt, I appreciate the the the understanding of this
Speaker 2: weird art and the allowance of the showtime budget to
Speaker 2: execute a.
Speaker 1: Lot of that.
Speaker 2: And Jake, you are a weird evil genius and I
Speaker 2: appreciate not evil loving genius, and I appreciate you so much.
Speaker 2: And LT Well, first of all, shout out you know,
Speaker 2: like we said, like we already shouted out, b Deport,
Speaker 2: Mikey Morimile, Courtney mag you know, the Malcha crew, Ashley Hooper, Yeah,
Speaker 2: all those guys you saw there. Jason Aaron, who is
Speaker 2: a sometimes a punchline and a gag for us, but
Speaker 2: also was a key part in us getting through the
Speaker 2: pandemic and taking that show remotely through. I mean, all
Speaker 2: the people you remember Sally, you remember Bianca, Carly. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm talking about like so many people through the years
Speaker 2: that have worked on this show. I appreciate you all, definitely, definitely,
Speaker 2: but elt I appreciate you the most. I do want
Speaker 2: to say, like, you're the best in the world at
Speaker 2: what you do. And I mean that. And that's ultimately,
Speaker 2: as much as this sauce bit was fun, is the
Speaker 2: reason why the show ever worked. You brought the audience,
Speaker 2: you brought the world class uh knowledge, and you know,
Speaker 2: your ability to break things down is the reason why
Speaker 2: you have built the following you have that is uh,
Speaker 2: that is spoil proof, It's it's disaster proof. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. And I think and I think that's
Speaker 2: a that's a credit to the word, to you know,
Speaker 2: chipping away with the acts and knocking down the tree
Speaker 2: and your willingness to take a chance, at least from
Speaker 2: an MMA standpoint on somebody like me who was just
Speaker 2: a wild card, and I was coming into a point
Speaker 2: when we first hooked up where I was I turned forty,
Speaker 2: I finally kind of got my mental health together for
Speaker 2: the first time and was just like fuck it, I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna go for it. It's gonna go for it.
Speaker 2: And you could have taken some of the things I
Speaker 2: said the wrong way, but instead you you gambled, and
Speaker 2: you're Ultimately you don't get the credit you deserve for
Speaker 2: your commute timing, your understanding of the character you played
Speaker 2: on the show, which is probably a reflection of the
Speaker 2: dark soul that you sometimes employed, but just your like
Speaker 2: my my corny dad jokes don't work unless you're playing
Speaker 2: the spoiler.
Speaker 1: On the other side.
Speaker 2: So your ability to sell my bullshit is ultimately what
Speaker 2: allowed me to be the sauce and play the role
Speaker 2: I played on it. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: you built this house, you built this audience, We built
Speaker 2: the show together. But we don't even have this show
Speaker 2: if you don't take a chance with me. So I
Speaker 2: appreciate that. I love what we've done. I love becoming
Speaker 2: your friend, and you know we're gonna work together again
Speaker 2: with you know this. This is goodbye for now, all right?
Speaker 2: Thank god, this was something, This was something truly truly special.
Speaker 2: And to all the fans, like your willingness to let
Speaker 2: us into your lives, to let us be ourselves and
Speaker 2: to keep coming back and to somehow credit us with
Speaker 2: allowing you to pause the realities of life and make
Speaker 2: you laugh or encourage you. Like I don't know if
Speaker 2: I've even ever told you this, but I you know,
Speaker 2: I went for a hike one time in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2: My career was kind of out of stand still, and
Speaker 2: I couldn't get over the hump. I just had a vision.
Speaker 2: I just had, like I was praying, and I just
Speaker 2: had a vision of like a daily show that in
Speaker 2: theories about combat, but it's not really it's about life.
Speaker 2: That's where a lot of those catchphrase, those corny catchphrases
Speaker 2: I created, you know, it's the it's the documentation of
Speaker 2: the growth of men and all that. And I thought
Speaker 2: I found that show a couple of times along the way,
Speaker 2: but I didn't what I But when we started MK,
Speaker 2: I knew that was what I had been waiting for.
Speaker 2: And the fact that the corny ass shit that we
Speaker 2: created mattered to people. I've never ever ever took that
Speaker 2: for granted. This became a destination for people's lives, not
Speaker 2: just for their hunger for combat sports. That's a responsibility
Speaker 2: that meant the world to me. And yeah, I got
Speaker 2: really bad jokes and MMA white belt takes and you know,
Speaker 2: a few other things going against me. But the combination,
Speaker 2: as you said eloquently in Docs one and two, us
Speaker 2: together we brought out the best in each other. And
Speaker 2: I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate you very much.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
Speaker 4: I don't want to have the last word, but I'll
Speaker 4: have my last word on this one since it's your episode.
Speaker 4: But yeah, man, I thought a lot. Again, I thought
Speaker 4: so much about what to say at a moment like this.
Speaker 4: I think in general, I've kind of said it all
Speaker 4: for the most part. I think what I would settle on.
Speaker 2: Like, do we finally have to bang? That's what the
Speaker 2: people all.
Speaker 1: The time comes for fucking.
Speaker 2: Each out?
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, they should have brought it in each other.
Speaker 1: It be great, that'd be great. But in all seriousness, uh,
Speaker 1: I mean there's the truth. Man.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I could pay you a higher compliment.
Speaker 4: I've already said. You know, CBS is lucky to have
Speaker 4: you in the reason. I know this because we were
Speaker 4: looking to have you, and you know again, it was
Speaker 4: just it was such a relief. I never had to
Speaker 4: question anyone else's commitment to a project. You know, it
Speaker 4: was like I've worked in other projects and that's just well,
Speaker 4: you know how that go. Bro, It's it's hard to
Speaker 4: get that. But what I will say too is again
Speaker 4: it's just a personal perspective. I don't mind working alone,
Speaker 4: which as you well know, and I can do a
Speaker 4: lot of it and I'm happy with it. But I
Speaker 4: if I ever said to myself, if I'm you know,
Speaker 4: it would be able to I would be like I remember, like,
Speaker 4: you know, the peak of like doing a lot of
Speaker 4: like live chats and then fifteen hours of live radio.
Speaker 4: You know, you just kind of a lot of yourself talking.
Speaker 4: I thought to myself, Man, I really would like to
Speaker 4: be able to bounce this off with someone. But you know,
Speaker 4: it can't just be anybody. I don't even know who
Speaker 4: the fuck it would be. And then your goofy ass
Speaker 4: comes along and I'm like, I can't believe it's going
Speaker 4: to be this guy, but it's going to.
Speaker 1: Be this guy, and it complete. Dude, you delivered. You delivered,
Speaker 1: you completely as a partner.
Speaker 4: As a friend, as an architect, you know, as a campaigner,
Speaker 4: an advocate.
Speaker 1: You delivered. You did it.
Speaker 4: You did, you fucking did it, man, and you know
Speaker 4: you you brought me to a place that I had
Speaker 4: never been and uh, I'm not sure every I want
Speaker 4: to go again. But uh, in all seriousness, you know,
Speaker 4: I don't know if I could pay someone to higher
Speaker 4: a compliment than I'd rather be alone unless it's Brian Campbell.
Speaker 1: Wow, you know what I mean. Wow, thank you, And
Speaker 1: now that I've had plenty of Brian Campbell, I'd like
Speaker 1: to go back to being.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: I'm very happy that lasting lasting.
Speaker 4: Lest thing we'll say is do job well done, thanking,
Speaker 4: job well done. And I thank you so much as
Speaker 4: a friend.
Speaker 2: And I mean I grew a lot knowing you. I
Speaker 2: honor and respect the father, the husband that you are
Speaker 2: and that has always like I will always judge someone
Speaker 2: on that at the end of the day, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, could you could you get a little surly?
Speaker 2: Yeah you can get a lot of surly, but you
Speaker 2: know could But you also had to tolerate me pressing
Speaker 2: your buttons for the sake of the show, for the
Speaker 2: sake of the art. And I've tried to balance being
Speaker 2: a real friend with being an asshole the best I
Speaker 2: could to as you have done a great job balancing
Speaker 2: being an asshole and a great friend, the best you
Speaker 2: could too. And at the end of the day, I'm
Speaker 2: proud and I just say thank you to you to everybody.
Speaker 2: Thank you boy, we really just this was just full on.

Speaker 2: hope a lot of things.
Speaker 1: In the words of Motel six, We'll keep the light.
Speaker 2: On even though you can play the dark soul guy
Speaker 2: once in a while. Don't stop believing you haven't even
Speaker 2: hit your peak yet. You haven't even hit what you're
Speaker 2: gonna be capable of doing. All right, you have what
Speaker 2: what you can't teach, nurture it, keep letting it grow,
