| 0:00.0 | Very good morning, everyone. |
| 0:10.3 | Happy Thursday and welcome to the Early Edge. |
| 0:12.9 | My name is See Anejohn, and we are brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:17.1 | I see all of you in the chat, Gippers picks, Richard Pierre, James Rainwater. We hit your birthday parley yesterday, but we didn't hit a lot of other things. |
| 0:25.0 | Let's take a look at the recap screen. Like I said, the birthday parlay for James actually came in. |
| 0:30.2 | I think that was plus 184. But the Wednesday recap is two in five. But we had buckets hit his |
| 0:35.5 | pick. He's been on fire. Amags goes one for two. |
| 0:38.5 | Otherwise, across the board, we've got losers on the screen, but we're going to turn the losers |
| 0:43.5 | into winners, and we've got a winning announcement related to an early edge meetup in Chicago. |
| 0:49.3 | Check out this crew that we have on a Thursday. Tom Casale, Larry Hartstein, Mike McClure, and A-Mags. |
| 0:56.0 | Larry, I'm going to start with you. Let's, I don't know, do we want to announce it now? |
| 1:00.4 | Do we have a firm date for the Cubs game? |
| 1:03.1 | Let's do it. See, excited to announce it will officially be July 1st. Cubs Padres, |
| 1:08.5 | 1 20 p.m. start at Wrigley Field. Ticket information will be available next |
| 1:14.2 | week. And we need our producer, Ben, to step up here and pick our pregame meeting spot. |
| 1:20.7 | Is it going to be Murphys? Is it going to be sluggers? The Cubby Bear. I mean, I haven't lived in |
| 1:24.8 | Chicago in a long time. So I don't know what the best setup is. Probably need one for after the game, too. But let's just start with before the game. I'm going to leave that to you, our producer. Yeah, I think Murphys or the Cubby Bear, I think, are both good options. Murphy's, I would probably say, is number one. That's probably the classic meetup spot is right across the street from Wrigley. |
| 1:45.0 | You get to see the big scoreboard right there, right by the train. |
| 1:48.5 | You can't go wrong with Murphys. |
| 1:50.0 | They got great drinks and great people there. |
| 1:52.1 | But do they have Papa Shot? |
| 1:54.4 | That's a great question. |
