| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul, Matthew Collar here, along with Manny Hill. |
| 0:13.6 | Happy New Year, Mr. Hill. |
| 0:15.4 | We have a lot to discuss. |
| 0:16.9 | Justin Jefferson talked about J.J. McCarthy and his future. |
| 0:21.8 | We're going to break down Clayton Tune tape. That's going to be a lot of fun. No, I'm just joking, but he will start for |
