Well hello everybody it is Thursday is it the 9th today? You know dates are largely meaningless. It's the Thursday before Conor McGregor fights Dustin Poirier for the third time. I'm Luke Thomas that's Brian Campbell we're the hosts of Morning Combat this is our inside podcast. And it's probably sounding like shit right now because you're on a run, Luke, lately. Yes. Of just shitting. No, the last one was okay. Of just shitting your pants when it comes

to setting up. No, no, no. The last one was okay. The last one was okay. Anyway, this is called Room Service Diaries and this is where we get fired. So, hi. BC, you're extra giggly today. No, no. We did have a few drinks with dinner with our producers. Mikey, Lesvin, Jake, Maniche. So, you know, room service diaries and spirit.

Luke, it's in my bloodstream. I'm about to drink like a hoe. Margaritas. Jose Cuervo. That's good. We could have a gallbladder emergency. Oh, yeah. The amount of sugar in this fucking thing?

Yeah. About to be a diabetic with this bitch. I don't care anymore. Luke is giving up right now. There it is. You just saw a man quit on himself. He's 41, almost 42, and he's drinking shit that 16-year-old girls drink

when they get together and have someone buy them alcohol. That just looked a lot like the UFC 196 main event. You know what I mean? What was the 196 main event? Nate-Connor-1. I don't understand that joke at all. You know, we should just keep going. I could explain it to you.

You sound like you've been having a couple of gummies. No. Did you have any gummies? No, no, no. Anyway, today was the press conference. It was okay. It was okay. It was entertaining.

You gotta say that. It definitely was. I mean, the week has been... I don't want to say the week has been slow. It's been weird. Because McGregor hadn't done the typical uh media stops but also like post-covid like people are back but they're not like back in the way that they were before they're just a lot more back than at the height of the pandemic uh there's no irish people here hardly you know which

is the weird because when i went to uh the community fight there's a lot of irish people there and then dude in new York at 205 holy fucking shit they shut down 7th Avenue you know you don't feel that here at all no there's not

the subways here aren't filled with water because that's really where you were going there I was watching that it's brutal

it's absolutely I was watching that and I really felt horrible for that woman because I was like dude how fucked up are your travel options

where you saw a scenario that we would look at and be like oh this is a thing I can no longer do and you go

like you know what I'm just gonna I'm just gonna do it anyway I I you gotta have some real limited travel options when that

when that happens yeah like the choice of this room for you, too. Maybe for being honest. Dude, they put me, I don't want to say what it is, because I just want to be disparaging as possible without any repercussions. You know, they put me in the worst motherfucking hotel. And, like, my view, it's like heavy machinery

and homeless people blowing each other. Whatever crack is left over in their pockets. It's the worst fucking view ever. Wow, wow, wow. What is your view? Do you have a better view? Can you see the strip? I can see the parking garage for T-Mobile Arena.

I can almost see Toshiba Square. I've got like a little angle into it. That's not so bad. I can see the pool. Yeah, whatever. That's okay. I mean, that pool is nubs, too. That whole, every time I walk through the lobby, I'm like, here comes dengue fever, you know?

Yo, this place is not nearly, though, not nearly as trashy as, like, Excalibur and Luxor and those others right down the road. Bro, you go to Excalibur and the poker chips are literally dirty. I mean, you go, that's just, you're just, if you, can you imagine people gambling there all night long? I couldn't imagine ever going back in there one more time, no. It's like, you ever have that friend who, friend who meets a girl who, you know, he's no prize either, but like she's X-Files ugly. You know what I'm talking about?

And he's like regaling you with stories of banging her and you're like, dude, that's not as impressive as you're making it out to be, I gotta tell you. And also now I no longer wish to eat. I had a few fraternity brothers who pulled off some stunts like that. Yeah, that's why you have to avoid the Greek life, Luke.

Oh, the Greek life was great. Here's the funny part is, if you were not an idiot, I don't mean like intellectual, I mean like about this idea, and you had gone to college with me, dude, you are built for Greek life. I don't think so. You are Blutarski. No, like, about this idea, and you had gone to college with me. Dude, you are built for Greek life. I don't think so. You are Blutarski. No, no, actually. 0.0 GPA frat guy to the nth degree.

Yes, you are. I have. You don't think that is because in your mind you think like guys whose parents have trust funds and they like to row on the fucking, you know, rowing team or something. No, it's not like that at all. No, I have integrity. I don't need to join a system that's basically like a, you know. You mean a bunch of dudes who just pay for parties collectively

is really what it comes down to? I mean, did you have. Hey, let's pool our resources to have big shit. Okay. Did you have an eyes wide shut like initiation? No. That's really where I'm going with this, Luke. Okay.

Do you know where hazing comes from? Probably the skull and bones. No. Hazing came from the military, and it didn't really enter Greek life. Greek life was initially just rich people doing philanthropy, and when the guys after World War II got the GI Bill, it's a true story, they got the GI Bill, there was a bunch of them who ended up going to college because they had money they didn't have before, and they were like, hey, I'd love to show you some fuck-fuck games that we learned.

Let's show it to you. And it got ingrained. And that's where hazing entered into college. Did any people in that story marry a Colombian woman, Luke? What? That was just, you know. No, I didn't understand your blah, blah, blah. Quick question.

I think I just severed your artery, Louie. All right. Yeah, so weigh-in was a moment this week, but yes, a slow week in a lot of ways. Not a lot of news coming out of this. No. Connor finally speaks. He was looking through Dustin last time. Just a lot of that bullshit.

Nothing serious there. Louie, could you explain, though, to the people? I got a couple things to say, wise and hygiene wise luke should i address the uh the shoe polish incident yes wayne newton so look it was a bad it was a really bad you're like you're like this version of rick flair looking in the mirror and looking at his hair and being like nailed it you know it's like no you didn't, Rick. Did I go darker than I thought I was going? Yes. Like all the actresses on

Black Draw, Luke. I know, I was like, dude, are they sending you to cover fights in fucking Kandahar? Why are you coloring your hair so dark? Yeah, so I didn't go, you know, I went a shade or two too dark. And the problem was it was longer than I normally kept it. And for whatever it was with that lighting set up, Luke.

Because I walked on set and people weren't looking at me like I had a third eye yet. It was only when people saw the video and the light reflection and then it's like, yo, you got a problem on top of your head right now. Dude, they thought, they were like, dude, when did Shavkat Rachmaninoff who has wolf pelts on

his head, when did he start hosting MK and learning English? You didn't get like an Elvis 68 comeback special vibe, though? Look, man, that was a bad day for me. Well, you know, I had my own shit to worry about, so I was a little bit out of it. And also, Vegas is weird in the morning. Tell me if I'm wrong.

And then night, too, but I guess all day. Every second of the day. If you're inside vegas is surprisingly well lit and yet dark at the same time everything is dark and also light i don't know how to explain it it's weird so i saw you i didn't recognize your hair like was different at first because you just i don't know it kind of blended in yeah but i also think your vision is shit my vision's bad too but like but here's when I noticed it. When you sat down

on the other side, I was like, wow, my man really went for it with this one. He's just trying to be like, you know what you guys saw in the past? Yo, fuck that.

I'm about to blow past that standard. Yeah, you know, I had to miss them. I stumbled, okay? Dude, when you picked that out... I fixed that shit quick. When you picked that out,

were you like, boy, I'm about to look. I'm about to look 21 again. It was an overcorrection in many ways. The last time I died, I didn't nearly get out the amount of grace promised in the transaction, Luke. So I went for it. I mean, you know, I stumbled, though. Hey, listen. You reached for the stars.

Maybe you didn't make it to the stars. The thing is, you know, you go for it for greatness. The challenger did blow up in your face. You were Sally Ride there. But, you know, I fixed that for like $24, Luke. Okay. Fixing is a... I fixed that, and I also got the massage, the...

Okay, I have not combed my hair for this thing. I mean, it's room service diaries. I'm not going to put a lot of effort in presentation. I got a haircut in Vegas. I looked the place up on Yelp, and then I looked the individual guy up on Instagram. I did my due diligence, but I found a place where the base of the cut is 60,

and then whatever tip you want to give, and then tax or whatever. Oh, $60 for a haircut? Compared to D.C., that's a fucking steal. No, no, look. I would love to pull a cross-section of D.C. residents and be like, what do you regularly pay for a haircut? I guarantee they're not going to be like,

yo, bro, it's D.C., man. I pay $80 every time. No chance, dude. I think you'd be surprised. You're in a category of blinded weirdness. Dude, there are plenty of places significantly more high-end than the one I go to. Mine is very middle of the road. Yeah, but the fact that you grew up thinking that's normal.

I didn't. I grew up in the suburbs. I grew up in a... Dude, here's what BC thinks. BC is the guy who pulls up in the Honda Accord, and the other person is sitting in, let's say, an Infiniti. And he goes, oh, see, we both have cars. Right. We both have cars, but, we both have cars. Right.

We both have cars, but these are not equivalent cars, dude. And I'm not saying I've got the world's most amazing haircut, but your fade's not that money, dude. It's not that money. You're asking your barber to give you, and it looks good, but the most basic fade. Yes, that's true. And there's skill involved. And there's levels. Obviously, I know there's levels, but you're making it seem like these levels are this far apart.

I think you get a lot of people. They're very close. When you cut it that short, you can't fuck that up. If you're paying $24 for a haircut in a major metropolitan city, which you are, you're running a risk. You're running a risk. I ran that risk with the back massage and the shampoo, the whole thing. $24 in the suburbs? Fine.

24 from somebody who's like a trained professional that you know? Whatever. In a city? Sorry. If you had a more elaborate hair scheme, Luke, it would back up your stringent black or white beliefs on this, even though we lived in a gray world right now, just like the color of your hair up there. Of my hair.

Dude, my hair is just, I look at me on camera now and I'm like, every time I look at my phone there's a picture of me that shows up, I just want to spit on my phone. I'm like, you are a disgusting, horrible person. And could you be whiter, Gandalf? Jesus, fuck. Luke, I did want to bring up the fact that we, no pity on us, okay?

No pity on us, it's fine. We're paid, we're professionals, but we do these like hits news hits on camera at the peak of of heat at like 113 degrees and we're out there for like 40 minutes with all the setup and standing around that's just not a good equation this week in vegas when we have a studio next door like indoors we have a we have a we have a money setup at this place, and I'm like, we want to do the outdoor hits, because they want to see T-Mobile in the background, you know? Okay, fine.

Can we do those at five in the morning, please? Because we did one at 8 a.m., and by 8.30, it was, I can't explain how much hotter it was in 30 minutes. When it gets hot in the desert, it gets hot like that. Dude, it's, yeah, you're right. It's like, it goes from zero to like, oh, we're in this. Like, this is an honor right now. I was like, okay, it's not great, but it's fine.

And then by 8.30, Jesus, man, I had sweat pouring off my back. Yeah, I sweat through the entire offering, the suit there. Dude, I almost had a panic attack after the presser. So the presser's over and we have to immediately run to our cameraman. We have to immediately put the stuff on and do the hits like right away. And dude, it was so loud in there that I had to turn the earpiece up like so they could, you know, the volume could match it or whatever. You were melting in front of me.

But the problem was, dude, in my ear, they're giving us instructions and and they'll tell us, like, you're on camera, BC goes first, Luke, you follow, or whatever. The producer's giving you instructions. Dude, he sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher in my ear. What was a ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho? I'm like, dude, I don't know what the fuck you are telling me. That's a dude in, like, a control room. Like, that's not what it's going to sound like when they go live. You know what I mean?

Well, luckily, A, I could hear the guy who was hosting the show just fine. And right as we went to him, did you notice that the volume of the plays dropped? Yes. So all that loud-ass music that the UFC blasted you with, it dropped significantly right before we went on air. So it was fine. But, dude, I was like, if this fucker's telling me this on air I'm just gonna be yes Connor was here today

and it was great and yay or whatever anyway that's pretty extreme actually that's next level yeah yeah

alright you wanna answer some of these questions yeah yeah I probably had a few other things I wanted to say Luke or bring up

dude I've been farting but these have been long days. You know, when you get to the end of that long day, you can't connect the two. I've had the kind of farts here in Vegas where I'm like, how do I camouflage this noise? Yeah, you would shit your pants with like, you have CPR, people are like, right. It's like, this one is

going to be volcanic. It's not like, will they get caught with the shrapnel? It's like, will they get

caught to the level that they might be crying? How do I just limit the damage at this point? Golly,

bro. It has been woo since I've been here. I feel sorry for everyone, but hey, listen, when nature calls. Okay, by the way, everyone likes the... Oh, before we get into going everything else. Hey, dude, it's a two-year anniversary of MK today.

We did it. Isn't that fucking great? That's great. You know, shout out to our producers for completely just acting like this wasn't happening. Yeah. This is sort of like, okay, cool. Congrats, guys. You know.

There was definitely no high five today among the crew. I'm like, we couldn't get like catered donuts, like something right here, like

something. No. I think it's actually perfect. We got, dude, this is me dealing with my family on anything.

That's how it is. Yes. Actually, you know, in fairness, I didn't even know that today was the two-year anniversary. I knew it was in July, because that's when, obviously, everything transitioned over for us. But, yeah, man. Okay, so two years.

Two years. I think. We've established something, a tone, a language, a family. A presence. A presence. But, I mean, even two years, we haven't even, we're like, we haven't even begun to put the imprint into what the... It's a good first two, but I definitely want to build a lot more. Like, it's not going to...

This is going to be like the one-glove Art Jimerson era of UFC compared to where we're going to be. That's right. Yeah. We've got to transition. But, dude, I'm like, seriously, aren't you like... I don't know, man. I'm pretty fucking happy these days, to be honest with you. Yeah, it's right. Yeah. We gotta be, we gotta transition. But dude, I'm like, seriously, aren't you like, I don't know, man, I'm pretty fucking happy these days, to be honest with you. Yeah, it's great. You know, Luke, when you're artistically pleased and fulfilled and challenged, you know, I'm not saying I have a great libido post-40, I'm saying when

I'm artistically pushed and challenged. Can you be serious for a moment and tell me how you feel about something? I was trying to get there. I got off an exit, though, actually. Tell me. Seriously, how do you feel two years in? I feel good, dude. Yeah, I feel great. Seriously? Yeah.

Okay, good. I hope. I don't think we've broken enough glass yet, but we've got to toe through that crack. You know what I'm saying? No, that really wasn't a setup. I was just sort of like... You need psychological counseling. I don't know. I'll just say thanks to everybody first.

Right? Thanks. I think you agree with that. Oh, and these Irish blokes in the bar tonight. Did I not call it? Did I not tell you that I said the Irish were the nicest people in Europe? It's not a contest. It's like they're the number one seed by a country mile.

Now, they are now on American soil in Brooklyn. So they are. Two Irish guys came up to us. We were at the bar, you know, working on some stuff, getting some food before we came here. Two Irish guys came up to us, introduced themselves. They were like, yo, Tui, you want a bang? Let's, yo, let's bang, man. Dude, you, no one picked up on this except for me. We can't get these questions no one picked up on this except for me.

We can't get these questions in. Nobody picked up on this except for me. And BC asked Ty Tuivasa and Greg Hardy to their faces, what did you make of it when Greg Hardy said on Instagram, hey, let's bang? And they took it to mean what, you know, like, hey, why did you call this guy out, is how they sort of interpreted it.

When on the show, we had discussed explicitly that the Greg Hardy post of let's bang to another man was a little bit too, you know, there was conflicting narratives there, at a bare minimum, right? Are you trying to bang him, or are you trying to fist fight him?

And BC asked the question like, dude, what did you think Taito Iwasa meant when he wrote Let's Bang? And they took it like... I don't know if I went that direct. Oh, dude, roll the tape. Roll the tape. And I asked

and I was like, dude, this motherfucker... Like, there was years that went by where I would, like, say shit, and then I'd see people later do it. And there was, like, all this beef that was built up that I had to, like, diffuse every time. Yeah, you're good at pissing people off. Yeah, yeah. Well, they haven't figured out you're doing it yet, but when they do. Oh, come on. No way.

Your comeuppance is going to be. No, no, it's not. Oh, buddy. No, it's not. Yeah, I, your comeuppance is going to be... I'm not saying anyone's going to physically attack you. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying you were begging Connor to send you to hell today. You were fucking needling. You were up there asking questions like, you weren't as bad

as the other guy being like, yo, Connor, you ain't won shit since Barack Obama's been in office. I was like, oh, this guy's going to get fucking knifed in the parking lot for this. You didn't do that. You didn't do that. What outlet is that guy from? Fucking Wavos.com, bro.

That's where he was from. You wanted to clown him because of the pink jacket, dude. And the question was a little bit insane. But the question at the end, he was like, what's the source of confidence? Conor didn't take to it. He didn't like that shit at all. People, the result of the unofficial internet polling I've done just by looking at my Twitter feed has shown that people really felt like Conor took big L's in some of those moments

by not responding or not having a comeback. I was looking at social media posts from mainstream outlets, and there was a lot of, Connor's back, Connor did it, there he is. So I do think... They can't hear Jimmy. I do think there's a kind of fan that's like, here's the reality for a second. Tell me if you agree with this.

There was a lot of people that got hooked on the Conor McGregor come up and the experience and how fucking... And they become like old deadheads. Yes, and they're addicted to that experience and they're just trying to get a sip of that from Conor this time. They're trying to get cocaine to feel the same way the second time. Yeah, and I don't know if they're going to get what they're looking for or not.

We'll see. But I do feel like... People write songs about never finding what they're looking for in that loop We'll see. But I do feel like... People write songs about never finding what they're looking for in that loop. But dude, seriously, there was a lot of people, he would go up there and just say this unnecessarily disparaging shit and they were like,

yeah, fuck that guy and fuck his sauce and they were just dying for him to come talk about his big Irish balls and whatever else. I don't know, that's part of the Conor McGregor fandom thing, I think. It is. But, man.

My farts are absolutely lethal. This fight, Luke, it's not like we're not really doing this room service diary to talk about the narratives of this fight. But the whole thing was still centered around does Conor still have it? Dude, if he doesn't have it, if he if he gets, like, knocked the F out. This guy's going to be bad. Dude, think about that. Like, seriously, think about it.

He's never making 45 again. He's not getting a title shot any freaking time soon at lightweight. If he wins, he is. I mean, it's going to be a short hook to get you right. To get a win and come back in. But it's like, he's not going to fight for a welterweight title. A bad loss here. Dude, you can't be disappointed.

It does pin him in a certain category. Like, it's still going to be a big category. Kamar Usman would do terrible things to Conor McGregor. That would be, I mean, yeah, that's a bad fight for him. We'll see about Saturday, bro. We hear some shit on the ground that we can't

quite share I don't know what to make of it but yeah that's a big they call it a cock tease

it's a cock tease yeah I don't know what to make of it but I don't know I've been wrong about Connor so much it's like

I think is that why you're going so over the top to redeem yourself by saying Irish are the nicest people no that's actually true. I've been consistent about that for a long time.

No, I'm picking Dustin to win just because I think the evidence is stronger for him, but it may not be. The evidence is overwhelming for him. Overwhelming? No, it is. There's a lot of evidence out there. Overwhelming evidence to think he'll win? There's strong evidence. I don't know if it's overwhelming.

I think it's pretty overwhelming for those that know. You know what I'm saying? For those that know. People who put their ear to the grindstone.

Yeah. I mean, if you know what I'm talking about, you know what I'm talking about. What we were talking about right there. It'd be funny.

I don't know. All right, let's get to these questions, and then I can check out Perf City later. Perf City is, whoo. They are into some parts that are... Edit that part out questions and then I can check out per city later per city is they are they are into some parts that are that part out after

per city is can they sponsor me please all right let's get these questions question don't you know I can't believe you showed that tattoo to Jared and he had no idea I did I was so bitter I

was like are you fucking kidding me until I saw footage of that by by the way. And for the first time. I remember you mentioning it, but I never remembered it happening in real time. So then I went back and I watched it. And yeah, that was not a good moment. I don't care.

Listen. You miss all the shots you don't take. Okay? Yeah. And I was. You were wondering if I had the, like no one wants to be. You know, I've been bigging you up this episode. You don't big me up. I. And I was. No, but you were wondering if I had the, like no one wants to be. You know, I've been bigging you up

this episode. You don't big me up. I mean, I shit on you too, but. Fuck you, bro. All right. Dude,

we're sitting at dinner last night and it was one of those moments where everyone's kind of paused eating at the same time and BC just puts his salad down. He was having a salad. I will give him credit.

It's that liver. And he put his salad down and he goes, yo, yo, fuck Luke, am I right? And he looked his salad down and he goes, yo, yo, fuck Luke, am I right? And he looked around the table

and he goes, am I right? I was like, did you want some of my asparagus? You're welcome to it. Yeah, I think that nailed

the moment though. People knew what was up, yo. I was like, dad, is that you? What, you came is that you? What?

You came all this way? That's very kind. All right. Here we go, BC. From Doc Jono. USA, apparently. We have to, like, identify their country of origin now.

Otherwise, everyone gets bitter. I'll throw out a few names of actors to you. Okay? Yeah. Then you can give me what you think is either their best movie or at least your favorite movie of theirs. All right. Clint Eastwood. That's a good question, actually. If your answer is not Dirty Harry, you can

get the fuck out of it. I mean, yeah. You can get the fuck out of it if it's not Dirty Harry. That almost just feels too easy to even stay in the whole Western vibe. These kids today don't know about Clint Eastwood and Dirty Harry. That movie, or that whole series, basically. As long as we don't go anywhere near Million Dollar Baby, I'm okay with this. Come on, how bad was that shit? Come watch this uplifting story of quadriplegia and shattered

dreams. All in the pursuit of, well, in the end, absolutely nothing. You know, that, um... That's a real fucking... That movie takes one of the hardest turns. Like, just... You're like, dude, she is gonna do it.

Like, the whole shit was over. The whole shit was over. And then it's not even like you get blindsided and it's just all a little turn in the story, crap. The whole shit was over. The whole shit was over. The whole shit was over. And then it's not even like you get blindsided and it's just, oh, a little turn in the story but it's gonna come back around.

Like, no, all hope is lost. Here, watch the ending. You know, it's... Alright,

here we go. Chuck Norris. I actually don't think it's Delta Force. I never liked Delta Force that much. What's that, um,

what's the movie he had around 85 with USA in the title because that movie rules there's a scene in one of his movies where he has this like slow um you know profound moment in a movie theater where he's about to, you know, fight the main villain. And I forget what movie that was called, but that's, I remember thinking at the time that I saw that,

that that was one of his better flicks. Can you get off your motherfucking phone? What are you doing? I was trying to find the name of that movie, but... Samuel L. Jackson. You know, he was incredible in the one with McConaughey the court one

oh I know what you're talking about yes I hope they die and I hope they burn in hell that one is that a time to kill a time to kill

yes you know he's incredible in that yeah yeah he's good in that one he's obviously Pulp Fiction's a big you know

he sucked as Mace Windu but like he was really miscast I'm like you got the guy from Pulp Fiction's a big Kenwood side of that. He sucked as Mace Windu, but he was really miscast. I'm like, you got the guy from Pulp Fiction to play like... You should have gotten like LeVar Burton or somebody who's got a little bit of a nerdier vibe. Yo, but Mace Windu had a moment, though,

against Palpatine. Dude, he beat him. He beat Palpatine. I guess it was a pretty big moment, yeah. He had him done for, and then Anakin is all, bitch. I mean, that's like,

it's a heartbreaking loss. I mean, it's a life crumbling loss. But he knows he was that close to beating the Danso. Dude, you know what is amazing to me? What's the one real commonality between Luke Skywalker and Anakin Skywalker? Before the whole Darth Vader thing. What's the one like real commonality between Luke Skywalker and Anakin Skywalker

before the whole Darth Vader thing what's the main commonality dude both are some whiny ass motherfuckers that's a great point on Luke Luke Skywalker just whines dude I love to live in the church of only Luke's coolness and that's Return of the Jedi

where he's just a I mean he's dressed in black Return of the Jedi he had some swag he was a badass in Return of the Jedi where he's just dressed in black. Return of the Jedi, he had some swag. He was a badass in Return of the Jedi. I sometimes get in this tunnel where I think that's who he is and he was a whiny. He fucking whines constantly. And then Yoda's like, don't do this dumb ass shit.

He's like, Yoda, you don't know shit. What the fuck you know? And they wrote that he made it work but you know he didn't make that shit work. You know Yoda called that shit to a T. Yoda was like, yo, this anarchy kid, fuck this kid, let him be a slave. You remember that? Fucking Yoda was like, yo, this slave-ass kid, he can be a slave, fuck him. Yo, I think you must be mensia-ing somebody right now.

No, I remember all that. Yoda was right all along. And then these two wanting to ask him out. By the time we became Darth Vader, he's cool as shit. But, you know.

I remember watching these movies. I'm like, these fuckers. Y'all complain a lot, man. Yo, but you think young Luke is a bigger bitch than prime Kylo?

What is prime Kylo for you? When he knifes his own father? That's pretty bold. Come here, Dad. In the words of Vinny Paz, let me embrace you like my favorite person. And he knifed him. I mean, he did finish the job. But there are some conspiracy theories through that.

The problem is he's like a goth kid who could actually fight, which makes him so fucking annoying. You know, it's like... Yeah, he's like emo. It's like, dude, like under most, like 99.9% of the time, you are the kid that everyone beats up. Like that guy, obviously was not that dude, but, you know, he just had... He didn't have a great aura I mean we wanna idolize young Anakin

because we know he ends up becoming a badass but yo Anakin sucks bro Anakin sucked ass should've left him a slave with that

that mosquito looking dude here keep keep working on trinkets bitch go build me some C-3PO I need someone to take out the trash, bitch.

Dude, do you think that's a bad loss? Seriously, it's like, dude, that's Darth Vader. This is to me like the question, have you ever seen these moral dilemmas? If you could go back in time, would it be ethical to murder baby Hitler? So the idea would be like, okay, you're murdering Hitler, great. Wow, this is getting dark. This is really getting dark right now. It's sort of a basic but a common moral dilemma.

Yes, you're murdering Hitler, so you save the lives of maybe millions and millions of people, but you are killing, in this particular case, an innocent baby. Do you do it? I mean, what would you do if your son was at home crying all alone? Look at me. I think you know which one I would do.

On his bedroom floor, because he's hungry. A little stabby-stabby. Oh, what, I get to save the world from this prick? Okay, sorry little kid. You know, because we, we,

so do you think, you know, Anakin, this is so lame, do you think Anakin and Darth Vader are just, you know,

two different people where it's okay to love the Darth and forget how much of a bitch he was before? I know, it's like, if you get introduced

to Anakin as Darth Vader, it's a wake-up call to see him as Anakin. It's like, damn, dude. You're kind of acting a little harder than we know you to be. Do you think if we broke down technically the decisions he made in that Mustafar system battle with

young Obi-Wan that he lost... Wait, which one? The one that Obi-Wan that he lost. Wait, which one? The one that Obi-Wan had the higher ground. Oh, Anakin. Yeah, Anakin. When Anakin would go carved up. Yo, he beat that ass, bro. In fact, like, he changed, like, he, I mean, that was.

Yeah, he gave him the business. That was next level there. Do you think, that's like a major upset in some ways. Yeah, I didn't see that one coming, because Anakin was supposed to be, you know. So Yoda was right. Anakin had buns. Bro, you know who, like, basically, he complained a little bit, but didn't really complain? Like, you know who was about it, about it?

Fucking Chewbacca. Chewbacca. Chewbacca was like, yo, dude, you go to Chewbacca, be like, dude, we gotta go fight these guys. Will you come with us? How many of your friends are like, fuck no, I'm not going with you. Chewbacca's like, where?

Let's fucking go. Let's fucking go. Someone's gotta get it. Chewbacca's in a mood. Yeah, you had Chewbacca. Dude, this is the dumbest conversation

I've literally ever had in my life. I have reached pinnacle nothing. You know what Chewbacca was for your life, my sonacle nothing. Yo, Chewbacca was relentless. But I'm saying Chewbacca was a loyal ass friend, man. Loyal ass friend.

Yeah, you know, they wanted it. I love Chewbacca. You always saw Chewbacca with a weapon in hand. What? I got someone talking shit? I love Chewbacca.

Yo, do you think, and you know in hindsight, that Lando had no other choice? Calrissian? Yeah. Yeah. He redeemed himself. He was a self-preservationist,

for sure, but was he... He redeemed himself. He redeemed himself. In the end, he did. Plus, if you watch the new shitty-ass movies, which he, you know...

I almost wish he had died, frankly, as a character. Yo, he... In that Cloud City, frankly, as a character. Yo, he, in that Cloud City, he probably, he was probably like, just rambling. Oh, he had BDD in the fucking clouds, for sure. Dude, Billy Dee personified coolness for

like a decade, you know what I mean? Still does to a degree, but you know what I mean? Like, it was a moment in time where he was tearing up that vibe. He was like, you know, I don't think he had any problem finding good company, let's say. Did you just speak out against the portrayal of young Lando in the Solo movie? No, quite the opposite.

I actually feel like if you look at the two characters, the Lando-Cyrusian from the original one, and then the one played by this talented guy whose fucking name escapes me, all these alter egos he has. But he nailed that role. Yeah, those two are the most similar. Like, you could tell they wanted, he tried to be like a new version of it, you know, in a way, or a different one, but have obviously some similarity.

I thought he did a pretty good job with that. That's what I can think of. You know, there's some Chewbacca continuity, too, but it's a little bit easier to write in. Yo, Rogue One was so good, I need something directly connected to that with that same tone, with that same feeling all over again. Rogue One is good.

It's very good. I love it, but I don't love it like you love it. Yo, it's... It's because there's emotion. It feels real, you know? Let's get back to these questions. I mean, I'm just sitting here singing the praises of fucking Chewbacca.

Yo, Chewbacca was loyal as shit, though. I'm telling you, man. Can you imagine having a friend like that? Be like, dude, Chewbacca will fuck this guy up. I'd be like, get in there, Chewie. Go make us look cool. Plus, he drinks, you know? Oh, fuck, Chewbacca must be a fucking...

Dude, I would love to get drunk with Chewbacca yo what's your take on droids fuck droids fuck those motherfuckers they ain't shit he's got amazing wookie tales of like alright from Sugar Cows Great Britain

if you'd been given a second chance at life in which you had the goal in mind to become a successful professional athlete, yeah, well, that's about how much it would take. Which sport or combat sport do you believe you would have had the best chance in making a successful living out of? Big fan of the show from little old Cornwall in England. Shouts to England. All right. It might be coming home. I don't know kind of root for Italy but you know that's okay what do you think BC?

repeat that question if you had to do a combat sport you'd have another like life to do with it no or sport or sport

which one would I have the most realistic chance of doing professionally I don't know it's hard to tell like you do think you know if I could grow up

like Todd Marinovich, like, just, you know, like, just like in a system, you know what I mean? Just in like a, like a, you know, like just a full-on, no stone unturned,

could, I mean, it's not like we're, okay, we're old, whitewashed guys now. We're just some old dads right now. It's like not that long ago we weren't old pieces of shit.

You know what I mean? Yeah, not, not, yeah, it's Yeah I can still remember When I wasn't Yeah A completely awful Unwashed nothing Yo fuck that

Terms and conditions apply. Oh, for me. I don't know. I guess jujitsu. I guess. Fuck all that. Yo, Gracie would tap the shit out of you. Probably.

Probably a million times. All right, from Hutch Bass, USA. Here's my question. Who do you both think would win in a... What the fuck? In a Mortal Kombat-style tournament between these action movie donks? Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Seagal, JC, VD, Norris, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and one wild card entry of your own choice. Man, I'll give you a fuck about this shit.

Schwarzenegger can't fight for shit, bro. He's just so strong. Dude, he can't even speak English for shit you know what's amazing is my mom she had a very small accent you know she didn't have a thick one but like her

siblings and also her cousins they'd been in America just as long and they have much thicker accents like it just stayed Schwarzenegger was like he got halfway there and it was just like good enough

yeah god bless him Schwarzenegger's my fucking hero yo do you think Seagal could have just cleaned up on these other clowns

like JCVD you know what I'm saying dude I've been watching some Seagal movies because you've been just so hyping them up yo you better stay in that

short prime, though. Don't try to go direct to video. Under Siege? Okay. Under Siege is great. It's okay. I mean, it's got some holes, but it's still... It's okay.

There's some high moments, though. Okay. They reach peaks. It's ambitious. I don't know. Definitely... I don't know. Can I just say I don't care about this?

Move along? Sorry. I'll have to put that wheel at death, I guess. All right, here we go. What's one extreme travel-related bucket list item you have yet to complete? I.e., for example, summoning a mountain or something. BC's is getting on a plane to Europe, which he has literally never done. No, I would love to do that.

And no, it's not a money thing. You can afford it at this point, bitch. I know how much money you make. Yo, you don't know shit. I know how much money you make. BC, you got one? What were you saying again? A travel-related bucket list challenge.

It's generic to say sky skydiving right because this is travel related to a specific right yeah um i mean there's there's a lot of mountains so many national parks i like need i need to go there i've actually uh i'll say this just in the oh okay i would love to go climb not like all the way to the top of the mountain, but like I'd like to go hiking through mountains in Japan. I think that would be pretty great. I've been in deserts. I've been in like, you know, crazy climates. Yeah, we're in a crazy climate right now.

Yeah, dude. All right, yeah, that's true. I just want to go to, I want to go see parts of Asia I've never seen as an adult. I want to go to Japan big time. Yeah, Japan for sure. But I guess I got to do Europe first, Luke, okay? You got, I mean, it's just, you got people over there that speak the language.

It's not that far. Dude, it's like six, seven hours, depending on the flight time, from where you're at to London. It's the same way to L.A. It's just as far. I'm telling you. I'm ready. I'm not fighting you. In terms of travel time, they're roughly equivalent is what I would say. I'm putting up much more of a battle than Michael Bisping was willing to do, Luke, when I ran into him at the Media Day food area and then was just, you know, no one was around.

He was lingering on something. I was around he was lingering something i was like yo like mike like i'm happy to be reading your book right now and it's awesome and then i was like oh no one's around luke i'll just you know hey man when you were in the in the uh in the can at that time and i was and i had a specific question about like it was kind of uplifting it wasn't just like chris farley's show like, hey, man, remember when, you know. It was close, though. I mean, there was some elements of that in there. And, yo, he was just basically like, I'm out of here and just turned and was like, yo, good talking to you.

I'll talk to you later. It's like, wow, bro, like, that's just, yeah. I stopped listening to you about five minutes ago. All right, here we go. There's one here that's kind of serious I'll come back to it oh Jesus what the fuck

the weekend is performing at the casino we just walked through should I play this video or will Mikey make a that's not The Weeknd That's

What? That's quite obviously not him What the fuck are you talking about? Okay Big fan of the show, this is from Lovable Savage God. Appreciate all the hard work from you guys.

My first question is, what's your favorite Jimi Hendrix song? Jesus fuck, we're old getting asked questions like that. No, that's solid, yo. All right, what do you

have to say? Voodoo Child, right? I mean, that probably should be everybody's number one. Him and Sivarevon doing that is just I've always felt that

Little Wing was his best song, but sometimes it's almost too generic to say that so I love Wind Cries Mary. That little feathery solo he's got there

because Luke, he showed the soft side, bro. He could bring it right there. He was like, fuck Luke Thomas, I'm going to show

my soft side. But I love, I'm into Electric Ladyland just as front to back. The second part of this question

is bad, I'm going to skip. But we thank you, lovable savage God. I mean do Electrically land Just as front to back It's just The second part of this question Is bad I'm going to skip But we thank you Lovable Savage God From Dakey Dakey Smacky USA

Scariest thing That's ever happened to you Dude And her next question Is the best question I've ever seen Can you imagine Asking this

To anyone who's Other than someone who's an unbelievable piece of shit? Ready? She goes, what is, not like, do you know of any? What is your favorite? Sorry. I'm trying. Shut it down. Shut it down. Your favorite discontinued... Fuck. This is a train wreck.

Yes, yes. Oh, God. That is... That is... That is... That is... High comedy, boy. What is your fake?

Being on a date. Like Kitchen Niner. You know that food they've canceled? What is your... The best part is, it's actually a completely reasonable question for you and me

I don't think I've heard it Luke I don't think I've put more than three sounds together it's like chewy so he's saying don't chew

chew your fuck anyone off you know favorite favorite discontinued. Cut. Oh, oh God, that is. Wow. You know what you guys just like,

swimming carp. Ever find anything neat Oh man Oh god We better wrap it up before we get fired How long we been on I don't even know Oh god We have to answer at least one or two more of these.

Oh, that was... Do you have any favorite discontinued food? Like, I guess, I don't know. At this point, no. No, I don't. It's like, remember when they put that Olay oil in chips, and they were like, oh, it's like half the calories. And everyone had violent diarrhea.

Darn, don't give me that Olay bullshit. I was like, you guys get diarrhea from this? I'm like, I get diarrhea from everything. This is, oh, okay, I'll eat the chips. Okay. All right, all right right here we go here we go good question all right look and bc give me your ideal at home fight watching setup like where are you who's there what are you eating drinking like give me give me the lay of the land if you can set it all up. Dude, I've never done that. I've always worked. I mean, like, I don't, I mean, so many people that meet me,

and they're like, yo, I'd love to watch a fight with you sometime. And I'm like, of course, I'd love to do that. But I'm like, I don't do that. I work fights. Every, I work, I mean, it's, so I wish, I'd like to work on that, but I'd also like to work when the fights are on. So that's the... The problem is all the fights that matter,

you're going to be gone for, or at least in our case, even if we're not gone for, we're like busy with. You know what I mean? Like, he has to write stories and sometimes I have to score them

for CBS Sports or whatever. So, like, I used to though. So remember, I didn't get into traveling until like midway through. I'll say like, who's there? Fuck, man. So remember, I didn't get into traveling until midway through. I'll say who's there.

Fuck, man. Those people are long gone. I don't know. I would say no more than five or six people. I'm not a big party guy that way. You and your Greek brothers. What? Do the Greeks multiply or something?

Yeah, I was talking about your squad. What team were you on, Luke? Dude, what are you saying right now? Your fraternity. Oh, Sigma Pi. Okay. Anyway, got to have chips. Wings, I think, are essential.

I think pizza's also essential. And then, you know, make sure there's beer in the fridge. And let people bring what they bring. And keep it pretty basic, man. I don't have, like, any exotic... I'm like you, like, you know. If you've ever seen me tweeting about a fight, like, 99.9% of the time, I'm alone in my office.

It's just what I'm doing. No, like, yeah, like, I've literally not gone over people's house and watched fights. You have to be on your fucking laptop the whole time. But I do remember those days. There was, like, a day, like, the UFC right around, like, Matt Hughes' dominance into that new post-Tough Wave of, like, here comes St. Pierre and blah blah blah like I'd say starting in the late 30s and then culminating

around the before UFC 100 there was a hot moment there where you could do that stuff a lot and people were into it but that shit is long gone in my life man that's like let's cap it at UFC 100 right for me July 2009 yeah it's cap it at UFC 100, right?

For me, July 2009. Yeah, it's been a while. Since you've been social and had real friends, Luke. The sport will take that away from you. Yeah. I said it. It's the best job. It's so much better than everyone else's job, but it will wreck your social life.

You will, because to do it right and have the balance between the two, which is so hard, meaning what you give to work and what you give to home, you're going to get that 50-50 ratio off base. You don't want to have trouble, bro. You're going to take a knee and an L. Okay, are we done? Yeah that's it That's all I got

That's it Alright This is where it ends This is where the fun stops It's a song by Reef the Lost Cause Shouts to Reef Okay

That's Brian Campbell I'm Luke Thomas This is not what we normally do And we'll probably never do it again But thanks for watching
