Chapter 1: What is the Brat Bowl and why is it significant?
This Friday, join the score at the world-famous Brat Stop in Kenosha for the return of... You ready for this? The Brat Bowl. We'll be joined by special guests, including... Henry Melton. Yes. Why are you so excited about Henry Melton? I love that you're friends with him. Shotgun to Aaron Rodgers.
Here comes Melton. He snags Rodgers, and down he goes. Left with a long count. Bears have filled the box with bodies. He takes and gives, and Henry Melton knifes in and slugs down Donald Brown. Henry Melton beats his man. It's a five yard Colts loss. Snap Romo standing in the pocket.
Chapter 2: Why does Henry Melton admire Caleb Williams?
He is hit and down he goes. Sacked by Henry Melton. Coming back to Texas.
It's an amazing feeling. It's been a long journey from playing running back and defensive end and now being a Pro Bowl defensive tackle in the NFL. It's an amazing feeling.
Rodgers takes the snap. Rodgers stands in the pocket. Rodgers can't leave the pocket. They pressure him and they bring him down again. Henry Milton on the scene. Sacking Aaron Rodgers for the fourth time tonight. Henry Milton.
A great open by our Tyler Buterbaugh to introduce our next guest here on Rahimi Harrison Grody. It is the former Bear defensive lineman from 2009 to 2013, Henry Melton, a pro bowler in 2012, and yes, the Texas Longhorn, hence the Beyonce instrumental.
The music set that off. I'm not going to lie. Tyler Bruderbaugh, yeah, you handled that.
I got to give credit to Baby T on this one. This is the one that he made for you guys a while back.
Tyler Ferengel did that?
He did.
Fantastic. And yeah, I actually want to, speaking of that, I have to laugh because you know Caleb Williams, Henry, will do the horns down thing every now and then because he went to OU. Have you seen him do that?

Chapter 3: What are Henry Melton's thoughts on the Bears' rivalry with the Packers?
Because I know how you are with your Texas.
You know, it's a rivalry. I'll let it slide. You know what? Just like, what's his name from A&M? Who'd you say?
Wright? Oh, Nashawn Wright? No. Well, Shamar Turner went to A&M.
Oh, I thought you said we had somebody on our team from A&M.
John A. Walker.
John A. John A. Yeah. So it's like... You know, I don't even date girls from A&M. So, you know, now that we're all on the same team. Now you lying. You wouldn't date a girl from A&M? No. No. If you see me on the dating app and I'm like, I look at the colleges where you went. You'll swipe left based on the fact that they went to Oklahoma? I don't care how you look. We got everything in common.
The stars are aligning. No, can't do it.
What did I tell you about Hornsdown making people irrationally angry? What did I say? This is ridiculous. See, he laughs because he knows. He knows. Vince Young, irrationally angry when somebody went Hornsdown to him.
Who do you hate more? Oklahoma? Texas A&M or the Green Bay Packers?

Chapter 4: How does Melton feel about the Bears' recent performance?
Ooh. Ooh. That's what I do. Put you in a possible situation.
I'm going to say Packers. I don't like them at all. Just like Ben Johnson said, we don't like them.
What did you think about that? Hearing a head coach say that and have that energy on the field.
Dude, that was incredible. It was incredible. Because it just, I mean, there's already, it's already there. You know, the rivalry's already there. The hate is already there. It's baked in, right? Now let's just, let's just throw it in the, just keep throwing wood on it. Like, just let's just get it pumping. Like, that was, I mean, you wouldn't get that from Lovey. Lovey didn't even cuss.
So, like, seeing that and, man, that was. Made you want to suit up, didn't it? Boy, I wanted to be in the locker room with him. Because I was already saying that in the suite. I was already saying, F them. Because I got in trouble because there was kids around.
Okay, here's what I want to know.
You need to be under lovey rules is what happened.
How different were your emotions? Because I was with you. The first home game, the regular season home game against the Packers versus this time being down 21-3 and then 21-6 after three quarters. Were you calling back to that experience from a Saturday night prior? Or was this a different type of Saturday night experience to watch this come back and maybe be expecting of it even?
I think, man, at halftime, being down 21-3, the morale was low. Lower than the regular season game? I would say so. I mean, we were outside. It was cold. It started getting real cold. The wind started picking up. I mean, it was around that. The morale was low. And then, you know, we were in the suite. You know, we were just like, you know what? This is us. This is what we do. You accepted it.

Chapter 5: What adjustments does the Bears' defense make during halftime?
This is a new era. This is a new team. We're doing things that have never been done before in playoff history, in regular season history, and now we're doing it in the playoffs. It's just this team. This is how we're built right now.
It's one thing, you know, you've been a part of comebacks in your career, your college career as well. But when you see how they're able to do this and change the look, like, for example, Dennis Allen adds more pressure at halftime. Let's start with that.
What did you think of the way they were able to execute and then start forcing three and outs out of a team that's known to possess and dominate time of possession?
Yeah, the defense, I mean, from the first half, it was night and day. We looked like ā but that's just ā man, we've been making great adjustments coming out of halftime, especially going into the fourth quarter. And the defense, like, you know, the offense of Caleb gets a lot of, you know, the shine. But the defense has ā
weathered a lot of storms like they they've come out the gates slow you know getting scored on and then somehow at halftime you know he goes i don't know what he does i mean i wish i was in there to see what's he what he's what he's doing because they come in at after the halftime and they make all these adjustments and then now it's a whole different defense now i'd still like to see
you know, more pass rush. I mean, I think we're sitting up there screaming like somebody get off. I feel like I don't know. I feel like they're still meshing. Because we had such a... Just from our days, we all communicated through the line. We were running games. There wasn't a whole lot of solo action. Now, Peppers, he'd be like, put his hand down, like, I'm going to get mine.
Because he could. Y'all do y'all's thing. Y'all three run whatever y'all want, but I'm going to get mine over here and y'all stay out of my way. But I don't see a whole lot of... games like we used to run the best games like the pass rush games like we would run the stunts man like especially if you're not great winning one-on-one i feel like you have to perfect something
So you think it's more of a chemistry issue? Because here's what you said. You said meshing. But, like, bruh, they've played 18 games. Anything that's going to mesh is mesh. This is what you're getting. You understand that. That's part of the acceptance of the identity of the team being one that gets behind but comes back.
Also, the identity is, like, you're not going to get the front four pressure with just the base. It just isn't going to happen. I mean... Is there something you're seeing? Because I know when you watch the defense on the field, of course you're watching your own position. You're watching the D-line to see what happens up front.

Chapter 6: How does the cold weather affect player performance in games?
I'm your height. You can chill out.
This is why you got called 74.
We chill out. That's not it. That's not it. But we're joined by Henry Meldon here on Rahimi Harris and Grody as he tries to give us some insights. Because honestly, this city right now is on fire for the Bears, but at the same time, desperate for some type of resolution as to how they're going to maybe not stop, but at least slow down.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who very much may have just completed an MVP season. Like the votes are still out. We don't know who won the MVP, but it's pretty much him and Drake May at this point. And what I'm hearing from you, Henry, is that you don't have any answers.
You don't have any guidance for us and why we should expect Sunday for the defensive line to be able to do something with the front four that will allow the other members of the secondary and everyone else, whether it's nickel or dime, to stop this receiving core.
I'm just hoping that they listen to me. Hey, let's get in the lab. Let's start mixing this thing up. Let's start running some stunts, some TEs, some nose tackles. Let's all get in this mix, and they need us in the back end. Because what did the stats say? That Stafford, if he turns over the ball, they lose. If we get two or more, they haven't won a game this year if they turn the ball over.
And that's our key. That's our key to success. So if we can pressure him, get him out of his comfort zone, get him to not step up in the pocket, we get some interior rush. And then, I mean, that's what I'm hoping for. And then, you know, he's got a little, he's got a little boo-boo on his finger, you know. You know, hopefully we get some overthrows, something. You know, it's cold.
Like, I'm praying for colder. Like, the wind gusts. Like, it's a tough matchup. But we got, at this point, this is what you need. Like, you need, like, every little bit of, like, inch. You know what I'm saying?
Advantage.

Chapter 7: What strategies should the Bears use against the Rams?
I feel like these are tips for the people.
Tips. Yeah, maybe next time we'll get the tips done. Michael Irvin, iconic tweet. You probably both have heard this before. Man, when we played in that cold weather, we was cold. Classic tweet, because that sums it up, right? Yeah. People are like, what's it like when it's cold?
It stinks. What's the worst part?
What's the worst part about playing on what we're forecasting for Sunday night?
I mean, just being cold.
But do you think about it all day leading up to the game? Like, oh, we're going to be out there. It's going to be awful.
No, I mean, that's what I'm saying. They think they're like, oh, man, it's not going to be nothing. Like, we got them. And then they're going to come out here for pregame, and they're going to get a rude awakening. And when that wind comes up your spine, it's going to be, yeah. And you're out there, man. I just hope their bench breaks again.
What did you think of Ben Johnson's move?
Yeah, the heater.

Chapter 8: What does Henry Melton believe is key to the Bears' success?
And then immediately following the game, they will have instant reaction on the TimberTech decking and railing postgame show. All of it can be heard on the Score and the Odyssey app. Coming up next, it is Mark Grody joining us from Hallis Hall. We know Mark's going to bug Henry, so it's just a matter of how much. Bestie. Bestie. I love this so much.
And we've got reaction from Dennis Allen and Richard Hightower, so we'll hear from them, too, next.
