| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul, |
| 0:10.6 | Matthew Collar here, along with Manny Hill for the next hour-ish. |
| 0:16.5 | And thoughts, questions, of course, are always open. |
| 0:20.2 | We got a few things on the slate today. There was no |
| 0:23.3 | breaking news regarding anything with the Minnesota Vikings, but that doesn't mean we're always |
| 0:31.1 | not on high alert. So there was no Flores update. There was no Jordan Addison update today. |
| 0:36.8 | And so we can kind of open it up a little bit here, |
| 0:39.5 | Manny. And what I want to talk about is who's going to be here? Because we have spent so much time |

| 1:30.8 | one by one and talk about if they're going to be here, 2006, and then the potential ramifications |
| 1:36.5 | if they are not. Oh, and hi, mani. Good evening. How are you? I'm good, my friend. How are you? Yeah, |
| 1:44.0 | this is, um, this is going to be a fun conversation tonight, |
| 1:48.2 | but it's still just when you look at all the playoff matchups for this weekend, it's still just |
| 1:53.0 | kind of unfortunate because you just feel like the Vikings should be here. We should be talking |
| 1:57.4 | about how the Vikings are going to do against, I don't know, the Seahawks this |
