| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast. |
| 0:04.5 | I'm Joe Kanya with me, as always for me, but not always for him. |
| 0:09.9 | Eric Schlett from USA Today Lions Wire. |
| 0:12.1 | This is the official Lions podcast of USA Today Lions Wire. |
| 0:16.7 | Eric, I went on vacation, and apparently the podcast fell apart. |
| 0:23.0 | That's sad news. |
