| 0:00.0 | What's up, everyone? Welcome to the Early Edge. We are brought to you by BetMGM, Make It legendary. My name is |
| 0:15.8 | Sienajan, and we already have a very active chat. It's Joshua Dave's that says, what's good? Let's make some money today. |
| 0:23.3 | Well, Josh, let's see if we made money yesterday. The recap screen, oh, look at here. Five and one. |
| 0:30.0 | We love to see this. We got a plus money play courtesy of Jeff Hockman in there. Five wins, |
| 0:35.7 | one loss. And oh, by the way, the one loss was a plus 175 from M squared. |
| 0:40.7 | So we definitely made you some good money here on a Monday. |
| 0:44.3 | It's Tuesday, though, ladies and gentlemen. |
| 0:46.2 | And it's Talkback Tuesday. |

| 1:33.7 | and I both were getting ready for golf season, right? So I'm glad you brought that up. We should have |
| 1:38.6 | had the century to break down along with the NFL Wildcard games. Unfortunately, the century |
| 1:43.0 | was canceled back in October. |
| 1:45.4 | So we're starting the season with the Sony Open. |
