Good morning, everyone.

0:10.6

Welcome to the Early Edge.

0:11.9

My name is Sianajan, and we are brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary.

0:16.8

How about a legendary recap screen?

0:18.6

Looking at 4 and 1, before we bring in the stars of the show, let's pat some people on the back. Tom Casale hits his very easily. Jeff Hockman hits his very easily. The sports line picks go 2 and 0, and we go 4 and 1. Overall, I see you pogo picks in the chat. Scott Edwards, big roadie is in here. Larry Hartstein is in the chat. Jen, the birthday girl from yesterday is in the chat. Let's see if Larry's actually on the show here on a Wednesday. Well, let me see. Yep, there he is. The maestro is here. We got buckets. We got Danny Brasco and we got Mikey B. I'm not 100% sure where to start, but Larry, I do want to start with you because yesterday afternoon,

0:55.4

Mike Tomlin stepped down. I mean, that was the wording at least that we heard from Pittsburgh.

1:00.6

Your reaction to really this whole division losing their long tenured coaches, but talk to me

1:05.4

about Mike Tomlin. It was time. It was past time. You know, great motivator. But, you know, this has been coming for several years.

1:13.3

So I'm just glad it's over and they can get a fresh start there. But I just want to say I really admire the dedication of people like Fantasy Life has a baby, but is here in the chat at 10 a.m.

1:24.9

Congratulations to you and your wife. And this is kind of like a regular occurrence.

1:30.4

People are either in labor or having babies or just gave birth and they're here live for the show.

1:35.4

That's right. It was only two to three weeks ago that Mark Buchholz was actually in the hospital

1:41.1

waiting for his baby, his second baby, to arrive as well. So that's just,

1:44.7

that's just something that's happening on the Early Edge Fantasy Life. If you want to give

1:49.4

out your first name so I can properly congratulate you, feel free. But absolutely,

1:53.3

congratulations there. Buck, it's how we doing today? We're doing good. We're doing a lot better

1:58.1

than Newcastle did yesterday. I hate being the one and only

2:01.4

X on the recap screen. So I owe you all some winners today. But excited to be here as always. I haven't done a show with Larry in what feels like forever. So apparently he's good luck is what I'm hearing from other people on the show. So excited to see how that goes. Mikey B, that's what we're hearing from you, correct? Yeah, I'm going to put this now. I need to be on every show with Larry because I think I'm like six and O in the last three shows that I've been on with Larry. And yes, don't worry, everybody in the chat. I see, first of all, congratulations, fantasy life. You've gone from zone coverage to man to man now with your second child. and I will come up with a Pampers parley by the end of the show. Ooh, wow. Buckets, I didn't have the heart to tell you, but I want to come clean. Larry asked to not do shows with you. So that's sort of not as much of a coincidence. As you may have anticipated, Gippers Picks is in the chat. Hello to you. I'm sure Danny Brasco, Gipers Picks is very excited about UFC. Now, we've been waiting a long time, but we're only 10 days away now. Yeah, I'm done waiting to talk about it. See ya, 324 is right around the corner. We have some awesome fights headlining that one, specifically Justin Justin Gavecci versus Patty Pimblet for the interim lightweight title, Women's Super Fight Amanda Nunes versus Kayla Harrison. I got to talk some of these fights today. I wish Guru was here because, of course, we have Paddy Babati Pimblet from Liverpool. I thought I would get some, you know, some Liverpoolian slang from Guru, but we'll have to tap in with him for that. Those specific fights that you're talking about, I'm already seeing a lot of the commercials for them, and they look so intense, they look so great, and correct me if I'm wrong, Danny, but from here on out, they're all on Paramount Plus. You know it's a new home for UFC. I'm fired up. Everyone here is fired up about it.

3:40.9

So let's bring our best.

3:42.6

I cannot wait.

3:43.8

Danny, you're always bringing your best buckets. You as well. You've actually, you're going to kick us off here. Correct me if I'm wrong. You've got three soccer picks this morning. I do. We've got another busy day on the pitch. So let's see if we can do a little bit better than O and 1.

3:57.1

We're going to start with a fun plus odds Danny Brasco style banger here as we've got
