| 0:43.3 | Welcome to ratesates and Beryls, episode number 97. |
| 0:46.9 | It's May 21st, Derek Van Riper here with Enoseres. |
| 0:53.4 | On this episode, we're going to turn over some stones, and we're not allowed to spit or lick our fingers while doing it. |
| 0:59.7 | We're going to adhere to the proposed safety guidelines that Major League Baseball put out last weekend. |

| 2:01.3 | you know, build up your collection a little bit along the way. Put some cool stuff on the walls |
| 2:05.5 | or cool stuff on your desk in that process. Yeah, yeah. I want to stay away from any more |
| 2:14.9 | obsessions because my wife is going to |
