0:00.0	This is an I-Heart podcast.
0:02.6	Guaranteed human.
0:19.8	What's up, guys?
0:20.6	How are you? Welcome into a Thursday morning episode of the Daily Juice podcast. My name is Matt Peralt. You guys can follow me across all of my socials at Sports Talk, Matt. And we are back after kind of an unfortunate night last night. So Cole Reagan's got hurt in the first inning. And that derailed the entire underbed.
0:39.7	The Royals, well, they only scored two runs, but the Guardians went to town because you had the
0:44.8	bullpen in the game really early. And it was a 10 to two final. So only one play that happened
0:50.8	last night. And it's the hard rock bet of the day that goes down for the guardians
0:54.2	and the royals so that now is a 21 21 in one record for us back to 500 for the hard rock bet
1:01.5	of the day after that loser down 1.28 units for the day yesterday still a winning week going

1:41.1	happen, and then we'll see what's going to happen after that. So I'm not going to add anything here to the master's card at the moment.
1:47.6	And the biggest reason is the NHL has a monster card tonight.
1:53.9	Huge night on the ice.
1:55.9	And I've done fairly well betting on hockey over the last two weeks.
1:59.8	So I want to keep going here. And I have an all
2:02.2	hockey podcast. But we have obviously the Masters to watch with our Xander Schaughley plays and
