Emptying The Bag ’25: Eagles Edition | LempsTalkinPack #232

from Packers Talk · host Chris Lempesis

Chris Lempesis returns for another edition of the midweek mailbag — even if, yes, it’s recorded on a Wednesday again — and this one starts on a far more personal and heartfelt note. Before diving into all the rage, sadness, confusion, and gallows humor of Packers Twitter/BlueSky/Facebook, Lemps opens the show with a moving tribute to Renee Prussie: his former editor, mentor, first boss, and one of the people most responsible for the career — and life — he has now. She was a brilliant writer, a phenomenal human being, and a massive Packers fan, and this episode is dedicated entirely to her.After that, it’s time to rip open the mailbag and let the chaos spill out.Lemps works through 24 questions and comments from Packers fans about the 10-7 loss to the Eagles — a game that somehow managed to be both depressing and infuriating despite a lights-out performance by Jeff Hafley’s defense. He talks through why the offense looks like Matt LaFleur found a 2006 Madden strategy guide and never updated it, the bizarre insistence on running into stacked boxes, Jordan Love’s mental mistakes under pressure, the absolute comedy of the kicker situation, and why the national media lecturing Packers fans is more condescending than helpful.He also hits:How to actually jump-start this offenseA possible new offensive line configurationWhether Belton should play moreIf LaFleur is coaching for his jobWhy Parsons might be the only thing keeping this season afloatThe messiness of the kicking decisionsAnd the growing frustration with short-yardage play calls that everyone can see coming from spaceAlong the way, you’ll get the usual Lempisms, sarcasm, emotional therapy, advanced stats, a Dirty Work reference, and multiple moments of “Christ in a dump truck” energy.It’s heartfelt, funny, frustrated, honest Packers talk — exactly what this fanbase needs after another offensive rock fight.🎧 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.
