Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider.

0:09.3

Matthew Collar here.

0:10.3

The show is always presented by Fandul.

0:13.3

We will have a Fandual question of the day a little later in the show.

0:18.0

Questions, comments, and thoughts and opinions in the comment section, hit me up.

0:22.7

I'll answer your questions very shortly. I got a bunch of notes to run through from Vikings

0:28.2
