| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone. |
| 0:10.0 | Happy Wednesday and welcome to the Early Edge. |
| 0:13.2 | We've got another great show for you today. |
| 0:14.8 | And, of course, we're sponsored by BedMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:18.4 | Well, some legendary things are happening in this early edge family. I'll get to |
