0:00.0	This is an I-Heart podcast.
0:02.6	Guaranteed human.
0:19.7	What's up, guys? Welcome back to the Daily Juice podcast with me, Matt Peralt.
0:25.3	You guys can follow me across all of my socials at Sports Talk Matt and, well, may the fourth be with you.
0:32.3	We are celebrating Star Wars Day today on the Daily Juice as what was suggested by some of you.
0:40.1	You would like to have some more fun.
0:42.2	You would like to have some more parleyes.
0:44.2	You'd like to have some more exotic things that we used to do here on the Daily Juice podcast.
0:50.2	So we're going to do that coming up here for today with four plays,
0:53.8	including a Star Wars parlay for us coming up here for today.
0:58.5	I'll explain more about those plays coming up here in just one second.
1:02.1	I'm sure a lot of you would love to hear me talk about my disappointment in the Boston Celtics,
1:08.1	my upsetting feelings about the Boston Bruins and the ridiculousness
1:12.9	of the Boston Red Sox. If you would like to do that, you're going to have to come over to my other
1:16.4	show pushing the odds. That show will air at 2 o'clock Eastern time today because we're not doing
1:22.2	that here. Okay. We're going to get into pick some plays here for today. Have some fun as the podcast is back.
1:29.8	Now, there's nothing to recap, except I can tell you that we lost, obviously, with the Celtics
1:34.3	parlay. Our Sabres future is still alive. Our Pistons future is still alive. Our Spurs future is still
1:41.6	alive. So we still have some irons in the fire. We just did not get the Celtics at 16 to 1. We had a great price on Boston, but unfortunately, they did not come through against the Sixers. First time ever in franchise history. It took 78 years for the Celtics to blow a 3-1 lead, but they finally blew a 3-1 lead. So we're okay in the futures market. Obviously, this has not been a great 2026, but we have a lot of time left here,
2:08.1	and we can start to click in and start to roll as we head into the month of May. Obviously,
2:14.7	we just had the Kentucky Derby. Hopefully you guys had Golden Tempo.
2:19.3	We had talked about that on my other show on PTO on Monday.
