0:00.0	Hey! Hello and welcome to episode 799 of the official established
0:20.4	the run. podcast my name is Adam Levitan
0:23.3	I am one of the co-founders here at ETR and we are coming off of a
0:27.2	national tight ends day
0:29.8	kind of week.
0:31.7	I mean my fucking god I thought this was all in good stupid but good fun. You know similar to when I told my parents that there should be a national kids day since there's a
0:43.2	mother's day and a father's day why wouldn't there be a kids day or when I told
0:46.5	my kids that today is national pickup Jerry's shit day or when the
0:52.0	retail industry came up with the Black Friday quote-unquote holiday to try to get money or National Dog Day not to be confused with National Puppy Day. You know no one takes any of that shit seriously. I didn't think that anyone was taking National Tight End Day seriously.
1:07.0	But my God, if you watch the broadcasts of these games, you would think the National Tight End Day was a real thing
1:14.3	not some stupid idea that George Kittle came up with while smashing naddy ice cans

1:34.4	You don't get it Adam. The coaches knew that the quarterbacks they knew it was national
1:39.9	tight ends day. So if I'm following this logic, these guys who kill their minds and their bodies to get ready to play football each week,
1:51.0	they decided to incorporate a made-up, dumb-ass, quote-unquote, holiday into their game plans for that week.
1:58.8	And so we made a giant mistake not layering in a boost to all tight ends in projections this week.
2:04.9	I mean, what in the mother fucking fuck? How could I ever lose if this is the player pool I'm playing against?
2:11.6	I mean, imagine losing people who think this.
2:16.0	Now I'm obviously straw manning here. I know that most people who actually play DFS don't think this. People who listen to this solo pod don't think this
2:24.9	it's the season long bros or the laundry bros what got me to thinking maybe maybe I
2:30.5	should get deeper into season long.
