| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Early Edge. |
| 0:13.7 | We are brought to you by BetMGM. |
| 0:15.4 | Make it legendary. |
| 0:16.9 | We've got a great game, a great Thursday night football game, but don't worry. |
| 0:21.4 | We're going to touch on some NBA. |
| 0:22.8 | We've got sports line picks that relate to hockey, college football. |
| 0:27.5 | We're going to be, we're going across the spectrum here on the early edge. |
| 0:31.2 | Let's see how we did yesterday before we bring in the stars of the show. |
| 0:36.1 | Buckets, 2 and 0. |
| 0:54.5 | Mikey B. 2 and 0. Wow, is that right? Did he get Booker and Buzellis? That is excellent stuff. The sports line picks do not come through. So we end up going four and two. It's another winning day. I think yesterday was 6-1-1. That's three out of four winning days coming off of a poor week the week prior. |

I feel like we've got to acknowledge it to some degree, but that's, that's big news. We're here to talk bets, of course, but |
| 1:31.0 | Larry, that's |
| 1:28.6 | big news. We're here to talk bets, of course, but Larry, that's certainly big news as well. |
| 1:33.0 | Yeah, it could be an earthquake in the sports betting community. Chauncey Billups arrested, |
| 1:37.4 | Terry Rozier arrested, Damon Jones arrested. The charges that I'm reading about related to |
| 1:43.1 | him seem more serious in terms of, you know, |
| 1:46.1 | the integrity of the games. But again, it's all being laid out right now in a press conference |
