| 0:20.6 | My name is Adam Levittin as always joined by Evan Silva and today we are joined by a |
| 0:25.5 | very very very special guest one of the oldest friends of the show been with us since we started |
| 0:31.4 | ETR back in 2019 somehow still alive despite attending dozens of fish shows 100 hundreds of fish |
| 0:40.8 | shows. Best writer we have by far and and last year shipped one the fantasy pros weekly rankings |
| 0:50.6 | challenge making him the undisputed best rancor of fantasy players on the entire planet it is |
| 0:56.9 | pathormin how's it going today buddy it's going good it's going good um I got you know the |
| 1:03.6 | summer is almost here it's almost time to switch over from a family time to a football time and |

| 2:01.2 | anyways so there is a bit of an art here to all the pace conversation i do think that it is a very |
| 2:06.8 | very very important part of making a projection and i hope that you guys are all listening to the |
| 2:10.8 | banger etch micolioni series on establish the edge they reference Thormin's work a ton on there |
