0:00.0	Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Early Edge.
0:12.6	It is going to be a great Wednesday.
0:15.1	We are brought to you by Bed-MGM, the sports book, Born in Vegas.
0:18.6	We were coming off three amazing recap screens in a row. Let's see how
0:22.0	we did yesterday. We go two and three, a couple of heartbreakers with the Cubs first five losing
0:27.3	for Larry on the final out in the bottom of the fifth. And then the Blue Jays had a three run lead
0:32.1	and gave that up late as well. It's two and three, but I will say speaking to two, we had three
0:37.4	picks for the home run chart like we do every day. Two of them went to the yard. So maybe you picked up some money on that. Either way, two and three on official plays, we've got to try to do better than that. And ladies and gentlemen, we've got the great cast to do it. Look at all of these people here. We've got Taft. We've got buckets.
0:54.6	We've got Calvin.
0:55.6	We've got Danny Brasco.
0:57.1	Buckets, I got to go to you first.
0:58.6	It was your birthday yesterday.
0:59.9	I think most of this chat, most of the viewers were expecting food poisoning.
1:04.4	You didn't get it.
1:05.1	How are you feeling, buddy?
1:06.3	I did not get food poisoning.
1:08.1	A big accomplishment and a great start to the year 31 on this earth, probably because we went to a restaurant for dinner. So it's kind of tough when it's not me doing the cook and see you. But a great day all around. Thank you again for all the wishes. And let's just get back to winning. That's all I care about. Joe Newell and felt in the chat. You know what he cares about. He cares about Taft Gant. He says, thank goodness for
1:27.7	Taft, Taft. I got to come to you because you and I, while there is DP World Tour stuff going on, we don't have the benefit of golf this week. We'll have golf coming back in a couple of weeks with the Pro Corps, and I'm sure we'll have picks there. But everybody found out last week, if they didn't know already, you do a lot of college football.
1:25.5	So I assume you came here today with some college football picks.
1:28.2	That's right, see it.
1:29.1	We can't even wait so sad. out last week, if they didn't know already, you do a lot of college football. So I assume you came
1:44.2	here today with some college football picks. That's right. See it. We can't even wait until Saturday.
