0:00.0	Hey everyone I'm out of town this week so rather than run a bunch of on core episodes I thought I'd do something just a little different.
0:06.0	This week I'll be running full on core episodes as they were originally released and then at the end where I normally read a review I'll be providing an update to the episode.
0:14.7	So make sure to stay tuned all the way to the end of the podcast. This episode was originally released
0:20.7	on July 3rd 2020 and it was the third episode I ever recorded. So you

1:44.6	Thrones and just set a world's record for the deadlift. I'm talking about who is the most
1:49.7	dominant, the person who crushed their competition, someone who rose to the top of their sport
1:55.0	and then stayed there for a very long time, someone who just kept winning and winning and
2:00.0	winning.
2:01.0	The person I have in mind was described by the New York Times as the most
2:04.8	dominant athlete in any sport in the country. And after considerable research, I'd
