When sound waves travel through the ear, they help us connect to the world and the people around us.

But hardened ear wax can interfere with the sound waves journey.

Otex Express is a dual-action formula that softens hardened wax

and releases oxygen to help it break down and disperse.

No other ear drops are more effective than clinically proven Otex Express from the number one selling Otex range.

Thank you. Welcome to a special edition of First Bite, our Midweek podcast for Pride of Detroit and your Detroit Lions.

My name is Jeremy Reisman. I am the editor-in-chief over at Pride of Detroit.

I am coming to you live from a hotel just outside of Indianapolis where I have just witnessed the first two days of Lions, Colts, joint practices, the only two days before their

Saturday preseason game. I will be running a bit of a solo podcast here, kind of running down

the things that I learned after two very eventful, very fun days of joint practices to everyone

who came out and said, said hi appreciate to all of you

are there really good lines turn out and and the Colts really do a really good job of putting on

these joint practices their their facility is great it's great for fans and great for

media as well the one downside I would say is that because they have the fields lined up end to end,

you kind of had to choose whether you're going to watch the offense or defense for a day.

And that's where we're going to start because on Wednesday the first practice,

I opted to watch the Lions offense.

And it was kind of an up and down day for them.

The way things started, I was a bit concerned that the Lions just as a whole,

maybe were a little bit in over their head.
