0:00.0	Hello and welcome to episode 937 of the official Establishtherrun.com podcast.
0:23.3	My name is Adam Levittan.
0:24.4	I am one of the co-founders here at ETR, and we're coming off of a Treveon Henderson
0:29.4	has somehow allowed both sides of the rookie debate to Victory Lab.
0:36.1	Yes, that's right.
0:37.5	Over the last couple of weeks,
0:39.1	Trevion has done the unthinkable.
