| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Early Wedge Tuesday Best Bed Show. I am your host, EC. Let me tell you what, if you have watched this show the last few weeks and you have tailed us, you might have made a lot of money. Congratulations to those |
| 0:22.6 | like my buddy Ethan on X who tailed me with Gary Woodland last week, 90 to 1. Congratulations to all. |
| 0:30.2 | That was pretty awesome. And we got on the board. Let's see if we have some long shots or some big |
