| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and barrels. It's Wednesday, July 5th. |
| 0:18.0 | Derek Van Riper here with Chris Welsh, Eno Seris, enjoying a much-deserved vacation just ahead of the All-Star break. |
| 0:25.2 | Probably going broke at Legoland. |
| 0:26.9 | If I had to guess what Eno is doing right now, it's losing money at an astonishing rate at Legoland. |
| 0:34.7 | Well, it's not like a casino. |
| 0:36.5 | You know, he's not just like, |
| 0:37.8 | you're not going bonkers. |
| 0:39.0 | But to your point, |
| 0:39.9 | it's like, |
| 0:40.4 | all right, |

| 1:09.2 | Looking forward to when they can wreak havoc on me here in the next few years. |
| 1:12.2 | Oh, it's coming, buddy. It's coming quick. It is lots to talk about today. We've got a promotion. We got a prospect coming back up on the south side of Chicago. We're going to dig into the futures game rosters a good bit as well. That game's coming up on Saturday. |
