Well, hello, everyone, and welcome to the Early Wedge, a very early edge.

0:13.6

A very happy Friday to everyone.

0:15.4

I obviously have golf on my mind with two tournaments, actually three tournaments that I have money on going on right now. Let's see how we did with our money yesterday on the recap screen. We go four and three. A decent day here. Sniper hits his play right away. I go one for two. Sportsline pick hits from prop bet guy and Larry Hartstein goes one for two. Again, we'll take four and three, but we're always trying to do better.

0:38.1

I want to shout out a lot of people in the chat already have hit the like button,

0:41.6

trying to figure out what color shirt I was going to be wearing today. Maybe he had some money on

0:46.1

that one. We've got some, we've got some announcements with Wrigley Field. So ladies and general,

0:50.8

we've got to get right to it on BPE Friday.

1:00.4

Music field. So ladies and general, we got to get right to it on BPE Friday. Let's go. We got buckets. We got Sniper. We got Mikey B. And ladies and gentlemen, we've got

1:09.1

your Friday wake-up, otherwise known as your chip me up.

1:12.6

Good morning, see ya, go, morning, bucket, good, morning, biker's good, morning, biker, good, morning, sniper, good, morning,

1:18.6

Ben, good morning, hurling hedge, fam, and my heart is beating through my chest to be back here with Matt Snyder.

1:24.6

And I love that he's got that little IU National

1:28.1

Championship commemorative edition because why not when you're on top of the world and the

1:32.7

Cripsin and Cream you got to celebrate good to see you Matt good to see you everybody let's go

1:36.5

good to see you Matt indeed and Matt you just announced something in the chat that is very

1:41.6

exciting please you've got the floor. Okay, first things

1:44.2

first, though, Chip had no idea. I was going to hold that hat up. So I love how adaptable he is

1:49.8

with the chip me up. That's outstanding. Yes, I checked my calendar, squared everything away.

1:55.8

I am officially in all the way in for the July 1st meetup at Wrigley Field with everybody in the chat. I got to say, buckets, we have so much interest in this. Like, we've already got people that have scooped up almost all of Larry's tickets. So he's going to have to secure some more. Don't worry, even if he doesn't secure more, which he will. Like, we can all meet up at the game before, after. We can sit in similar sections. Like it's going to be fine. But get in touch with Larry for those tickets, buckets. I know you're on the fence because you've got some CBS potential World Cup responsibilities. I think you have to call CBS and just ditch them. Say, hey, I'm out.

This makes me happy because that means you're not coming. So that makes it even better. Buckets, do you know how to throw a ball? Yeah, I've done it before once. Remember when he claims he could like hit Major League pitching

2:53.3

And then he went to a batting cage and then he was like, oh wait, never mind. This is really hard. It got fast. Yeah, batting cage. I mean, yeah. Mikey B. These are tough. If you're not. They are. Yeah. The first time I went, it was a long time ago, I put it up like the lowest setting in like the 60s.

3:08.4

And the thing flew by me and I was like, oh, this is different than what I thought it was. And it's in the exact same spot every single time. And it doesn't move. And yeah. Mikey, be, real quick before we get to, before we get to picks, we got a lot of picks on the show. We're covering all the bases, quite literally here.
