Emptying The Bag '25: Bears (Still Suck) Edition l LempsTalkinPack #239

from Packers Talk · host Chris Lempesis

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room, beer in hand, emotions barely contained, and yes — the Bears still suck. Welcome to another Tuesday night edition of Emptying The Bag ’25, where Lemp breaks down everything he didn’t have time to rant about on Sunday… and everything he absolutely did want to rant about again.He opens the show by ripping open the single worst wound in his Packers fandom: Super Bowl XXXII, the Denver Broncos, Terrell Davis running through uncalled holding penalties like a cheat code, and a 16-year-old Lemps discovering pain for the very first time. Almost 28 years later, he still wants to fight Ed Hochuli in a Denny’s parking lot. And now—because the Packers play Denver this week—Lemps is reliving every ounce of trauma for your entertainment. You’re welcome.From there, he tears into your questions and comments from Twitter, Blue Sky, Facebook, Instagram, and the DMs he keeps forgetting to screenshot before the app boots him out. Topics include:The "Rodgers Tax" Jordan Love is still paying, and why it’s completely unfairMatt LaFleur resurrecting a once-dead offense, Frankenstein-styleMicah Parsons vs. Offensive Holding: A Documentary in 37 Missed CallsWhy the Bears got EVERY BREAK from the refs and STILL LOSTKeshawn Nixon’s weekly journey from liability to legend, often in the same five minutesBo Melton: WR? CB? Special teams? Renaissance man?Christian Watson hitting 21.6 mph like he’s being chased by student loan collectorsFacebook F***ery of the Week, featuring a fake Jordan Love quote that would cause him to spontaneously combust from politenessJosh’s email, which as always requires the legal disclaimer that his opinions do not represent this show, humanity, or the Geneva ConventionsAnd yes — Lemps shamelessly promotes the T-shirts again. Buy one. He’s not kidding.Finally, he sets the stage for Packers-Broncos, a matchup loaded with PTSD, an 11–2 Denver team, and a defense that sacks quarterbacks just for breathing wrong. But you know what? With the way this Packers team is growing, maturing, and refusing to blink, Lemps likes their chances.Grab a beer, buckle up, and get ready to laugh, yell, cry, and mutter “how is this guy real?”Because it's time to open the damn mailbag.🎧 Listen now on PackersTalk.com, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you carry the G.

Humanizing Change Tremendousness Join us each episode as we talk with innovators in their respective fields about their unique journeys and how they humanize change in their own work, right here, on Humanizing Change. AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
