| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and Barrels episode number 154, playoff episode number 12. |
| 0:19.9 | It's Tuesday, October 13th. Derek Van Riper, |
| 0:22.8 | Enosaris, Britcheroli. To be honest, I actually don't know what day it is anymore when we record |
| 0:28.1 | or even between recordings or when I'm watching a game. No clue what day it is. I know Sundays |
| 0:34.5 | are clear because there's a lot of football on starting at noon my time. |

| 1:19.3 | Yeah, did he get concussion protocol, I wonder? |
| 1:22.6 | Because just the way that happened, like, that was my first reaction, I guess. |
| 1:26.6 | Yeah, Willie Adamas said in the Zooms that Margot was bleeding. |
| 1:31.4 | Yeah. |
| 1:32.2 | And that he was really worried for him. |
