| 0:10.6 | Welcome to the Early Edge. |
| 0:11.9 | We are brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:15.2 | A lot of people in the chat. |
| 0:17.0 | Got Jay Long, we got lights out. |
| 0:18.7 | Of course, that's Ian. |
| 0:19.5 | Big Rodian here, Sponi's Sports Betts. Rick Funcannon. Let's see the recap screen before we bring in the stars of the show. Three and five, it's not a winning record.
