| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Playbook editor Mike Debonis. Something a little different today to start the week. |
| 0:06.2 | Playbook deputy editor, Zach Stanton is here for today's Playbook Daily Briefing. |
| 0:15.8 | Okay, Zach, you are joining us from the frigid shores of Lake St. Clair in Macomb County, Michigan. |
| 0:22.2 | Indeed. |
| 0:23.3 | Let's talk about a place where the weather's probably a little bit better, Las Vegas, Nevada. |
