0:00.0	Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the early edge. We've got a great show and a great set of shows for you today. More on that later. Let's see how we did on the recap screen before we bring in the stars of
0:21.7	the show. Three and four, we'll say Ben, our producer, otherwise known as Ben Widenstein, is staying
0:27.9	real hot. But this is not where we want to be. We had a slightly winning record yesterday,
0:32.8	slightly losing record today. I will point out, Mikey B went one for two, but he also hit the plus 5-62
0:40.5	parlay that he gave out for Eric David's birthday. That came in, it ended up coming in pretty
0:46.3	easily. So you love to watch the show live and pick up some of these bets. I got a special
0:50.8	message from Eric today. He and many others made that bet. So maybe you
0:54.6	won some money yesterday. Maybe you didn't. We got to do better on our official plays, though,
0:58.3	than three and four. And we're going to do it with the stars of the show. Let's bring him in right now.
1:03.2	We're all over the board here. We got soccer with Champions League with buckets. We got NBA with Mikey B and we got Amags. I'm here in D.C. He's wearing a Washington
1:12.3	Nationals at Amags. Explain. Yeah, the Nats. I'm going to have a pick on one of the young,
1:18.1	exciting players for the Nats today. And I wore this just for you actually, see it, because I knew that,
1:24.0	you know, you were down there. Fair enough. I'll take it.
1:31.6	Buckets, Champions League. I know we got a couple of games today. I assume one of your picks is a Champions League pick, or maybe you got a couple of picks. Yeah, you do have a
1:34.8	couple of picks. And how did yesterday go in Champions League?
1:37.5	Yesterday went fine, is how we're going to phrase it. If you liked goals, then you love
1:41.6	the Champions League yesterday. Both Martin and I were on CBS Network. Both of us gave out two plays. Both of us went one and one, which has kind of been the
1:48.6	theme for me lately. So looking to do better than that. And I'm hoping to do that with some plus
1:52.4	odds plays later in the show. Mikey B, we spoke before the show. Eric David sent me a personal message thanking you for gracing him with a huge parlay on his birthday,
2:02.1	which of course he took and won a lot of money on. How's the NBA looking today? It's kind of
2:06.7	nice to, you keep hitting those parlays, whether they're Pamper's parleyes or stated differently.
2:12.0	You keep hitting those. Yeah, there's a lot of pressure now. These are not supposed to hit this
