Welcome to Rates and barrels presented by Tops Checkout Tops Project, 70 celebrating 70 years of Topps baseball cards.

Derek Van Riper, Enoseres here with you on this Friday. It's Friday, August 20th,

if we are your source of what day is it today or what is the date today? Happy to help. Let's get

into some topics today. You know, I've got a bunch of stuff on the rundown that I'm excited about. I'm always excited about the rundown. Wait a minute. If you're watching us on YouTube, you know, it looks like the Cheshire Cat. And I don't know why. What's going on with you, Eno? I'm faking it until I make it. I'm awake. This is how I wake up. I don't drink coffee. Well, we're on the same page for now. I drink, I drink coffee. I just, I'm not used to getting up early enough to make coffee for all my shows, which is really problematic because I kind of need it to be good at my job or at least competent at my job.

So we'll see how this goes.

An uncaffeinated version, but I did shower.

So I think that's like the value. Half the coffee.

Half the coffee.

I mean, a pot of coffee gets me a lot further than a shower, but a shower is probably

like the first cup of coffee of the day.

So I'll take that.

And it's not smell of vision, but I'm sure everybody appreciates the extra effort, especially on YouTube. Clearly, I need a haircut and a shave. So the grooming is, you know, behind pace for where it should be at this point, especially the weekend. Like, you got to be cleaned up for the weekend. You're going to go to the beach and do something nice. I limp into the weekend. Oh, you just drag yourself to the weekend?

Just drag myself to the weekend's doorstep, barely making it every week.

You know, this is actually a thing that happened in any career that I've had since I've

had about three so far, is that no matter what, Friday, I you know like in school Friday was like oh

Friday you know like let's go out you know and then as soon as I became a professional I was like

Friday let's go out no tomorrow.

Yeah let's save it for Saturday That's kind of how it goes.

Yeah, I'm with you.

I mean, I got another round of random furniture and things to build.

So that's my weekend.

That's your weekend.
