## Resource

Canadian broadcasting icon Rod Black kicked off today's show! We started with plenty of CFL talk as Rod highlighted the Elks' dominant run so far and explained why this hot start means so much to the fanbase. We then shifted gears to the Blue Jays—debating whether Toronto can ever turn things around. Given the shifting media landscape, Rod shared his perspective on streaming vs. traditional TV amidst recent industry layoffs, before closing things out with a great update on his son, Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Black! Then, the boys locked in their sharpest pick for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. After the break, we got into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. How good are the Edmonton Elks? We also got into all the festivities going on in Edmonton this weekend as well. Now, MMMMMM That's Good!!!
