And as I mentioned, it is the C H show Odd will days are weekly in depth game preview episode all aim to make you the most informed bears fan on game day. I'm excited to be here with Nick for the first time talking about a real bears game since January. Man, it's been too long.

And the last one we talked about literally there were guys that were it looked like a preseason game or preview bears Vikings right the end of the season. So it didn't really matter. This is what matters. We've made it.

First regular season preview of the year. Let's go. I'm pumped up. I'm sure everyone in the chat is pumped up. It's Bears Packers week. We were talking earlier. There's no green warn throughout the entire week.

Anybody else follow them. Sure they do. It's how we got a role here when it's bears Packers week. Yeah, I was telling Nick right before we went live that yesterday I pulled a green shirt out of my closet. I was going to wear it.

I was like, what the hell am I doing? It is bears Packers week. I threw that thing to the floor shoved it into the back of the closet. And I'm probably never going to wear that thing again.

So I definitely did not make that cardinal sin. But I'm excited for today's episode of Nick before we get into like everything that we're going to do here today. And again, it's a really awesome in depth game preview.
