| 0:01.8 | Welcome to the Giant Insider podcast, brought to you by Band Dual Sportsbook on the Believe Network. |
| 0:06.7 | My name is Jerry Foley. |
| 0:07.6 | I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. |
| 0:10.2 | And with me, as always is the beatwriter in the heart of Giants Nation. |
| 0:13.1 | Nobody beats the biz. |
| 0:14.3 | Chris Bizignano. |
