| 0:00.0 | Hey, hello and welcome to episode 39 of the official establish the run.com podcast. |
| 0:21.2 | My name is Ed Levitan as always joined by Evan Silva and today we have a very, very |
| 0:26.4 | special guest. You may know him from his time here at ETR. You may know him from his work |
| 0:33.3 | at Pro Football Focus. You should know him because he understands usage is by far the most |
| 0:39.8 | important thing in fantasy and especially especially in DFS. It is PFS, Dwayne McFarlane. Dwayne |
| 0:45.9 | has gone buddy. Hey man, glad to be here. I was just chatting with Evan before the show. Just |
| 0:51.4 | just living it up. You know, 100 plus degrees every day down here in Texas. So, you know, |
| 0:55.2 | getting down here, touching some dirt. Evan, I actually do my own yard. So, I don't just say I |
| 0:59.5 | do it. I actually do it. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. I just wanted to clear something up here. |

| 1:42.7 | going to all be coming for our jobs. All right. On today's show, we are going to dive deep at the |
