| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 933 of the official Establishtherrun.com podcast. |
| 0:23.7 | My name is Adam Levittan. |
| 0:24.8 | I am one of the co-founders here at ETR, and we are coming off of a, the people are worried, |
| 0:30.9 | the computers have taken over DFS kind of week. |
| 0:35.6 | Yes, that's right. |
| 0:36.5 | I asked for fresh listener questions last week, and I got a fistful of them along the |
| 0:41.7 | same lines. |
| 0:42.9 | Malik said, with the way the DFS community has gone the last three to four years using |

| 1:31.4 | Can see his team on Twitter, insane team. |
| 1:33.4 | Had someone win both power sweeps on draft kings, the 150 buy-in, three max. |
| 1:39.4 | Taylor, Taylor KB won the 3K on Fandul for 100K, Brot and Dink had sweats, Wiggins had sweats, |
| 1:49.5 | a bunch of other subscribers, et cetera. |
| 1:52.1 | So, and I think, like, people are seeing this and being like, |
| 1:55.4 | oh, my God, they have the answer to the test. |
