| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, it's Robert. Just a heads up. I screwed up while recording this show with Barnwell. |
| 0:05.7 | I took my memory card out before I press stop on my recorder. You guys don't care how it happened. |
| 0:10.9 | I just want you to know that the audio quality is not going to be quite as good as it would be on a |

| 0:22.4 | We had so much fun doing the show. |
| 0:24.1 | I hope you'll stick with us, |

| 0:56.0 | So, you's all right. |
| 1:16.4 | How do you doing, man? How's your life before the draft been? Uh, things are okay. I am half |
| 1:23.7 | vaccinated. That's very exciting. Yeah, me too. It's great times. Are you, I guess you probably |
| 1:29.9 | should have talked about what kind of vaccines. I will say, no one else has done this yet, to my knowledge. |
| 1:35.4 | I'm hoping that someone gets a Pfizer first shot and a modernist second shot and calls it a freestyle. |
