| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Early Edge. This is Talk Back Tuesday, and we are brought to you by BetMGM, Make It legendary. We've got a great show for you today, but let's see if our recap screen was, in fact, |
| 0:22.4 | great. It was not. And a lot of this is attributed to the blowout Knicks over the Sixers. |
| 0:28.2 | Mitchell Robinson, we had two plays on him. Those don't hit. O.G.N. and Obie doesn't hit. |
| 0:32.2 | Got to say, it looked like those were going to hit if that game was reasonably close. |
| 0:37.4 | We go two and four. |
| 0:38.4 | Good job from Todd Furman, E.C. and Michael Roberts on those sports line picks. |
| 0:42.8 | Ladies and gentlemen, let's turn the page. |
| 0:45.0 | Let's flip the two and four to the four and two with these four. |
| 0:49.2 | We've got Alex Selsnick, Jeff Hockman, somebody that may or may not be buckets. And Matt Snyder, um, buckets, is everything okay? Are you in the witness protection program? I can't say.

| 1:28.7 | I'm sure Jeff Hockman |
| 1:29.6 | can handle those |
| 1:30.4 | prop stars. |
| 1:30.9 | I've got a question I have a lot to choose from. So I'm going to the association. I really like it. If you have NHL questions, I'm sure Jeff Hockman can handle those prop stars. |
| 1:30.9 | I've got a question for you. |
| 1:33.0 | How worried are you about the San Antonio Spurs? |
| 1:36.4 | That was a shocking result to me last night. |
| 1:39.3 | Indeed, it was. |
| 1:40.3 | Yeah, kudos to the Timberwolves who continue to impress come the postseason. They really are |
| 1:46.0 | impressive. They're gamers, despite being undermanned, not having Anthony Edwards start the game, |
| 1:51.9 | not play a ton of minutes. But yeah, what a performance by the Timberwolves. I've been very impressed. |
