| 0:00.0 | What's up, everyone? Welcome back to the Charter podcast, brought to you by St. Xavier University. |
| 0:09.5 | I'm Ruthie Polinsky. He is Clay Harbor. Clay Harbor, former NFL tight end and my bestie. |
| 0:17.3 | We are here to mourn the regular season finale loss, but to also talk about who's coming to town, |
| 0:28.2 | the Green Bay Packers, who the Bears will be seeing for the third time in six weeks. |
| 0:32.8 | There's a lot to get to, Clay. |
| 0:34.7 | Let's start with the game against the Lions. |
