insider podcast Matthew Collar along with Paul Hottawannick, many Sundays into the night. We have been podcasting and going

live on YouTube to react to Vikings games all season long. It's kind of been our thing. And now, well, we didn't get to do that this weekend but we were you know we just couldn't stop so we're
