Emptying The Bag ’25: Lions Recap, Bears Week Begins | LempsTalkinPack #237

from Packers Talk · host Chris Lempesis

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room, beer in hand, for another Tuesday night edition of Emptying The Bag ’25: Lions Edition – and this one is pure post-Thanksgiving chaos in the best possible way.Because it’s Bears Week, he kicks things off with a full-on love letter roast to his all-time favorite Chicago Bear, Jay Cutler – the smoking, sulking, 1980s-movie-villain quarterback who gifted Packers fans a generation of bad decisions and glorious interceptions. From the trade haul the Bears blew on him to that beautiful 2–11 record vs Green Bay, Lemps gives Cuddy the kind of tribute only a true rival can.Then the bag gets ripped wide open. Chris plows through all the questions and comments he couldn’t get to on Thanksgiving night after the Packers’ 31–24 win over the Lions at Ford Field, hitting:How the Packers can possibly make up for the gut-punch loss of Devonte WyattWhy this offensive line finally looks stabilized after hanging a zero-sack day on Aidan Hutchinson and friendsJordan Love’s Toyotathon magic and why Thanksgiving Jordan Love is basically Godzilla in green and goldDontayvion Wicks quietly turning into a cold-blooded closerMicah Parsons as the cosmic “screw you” to Jerry Jones that Wisconsin absolutely deservedMatt LaFleur coaching like his job depended on it – and why this version of Aggro Matt might just win a Super BowlThe very real possibility that Bears fans don’t actually “hate” the Packers as much as they desperately need the PackersOf course, it wouldn’t be a true LempsTalkinPack mailbag without some shameless self-promotion (LTP t-shirts are on sale, baby), a raised-glass salute to Ticket King, and a fresh helping of Facebook F***ery, where Chris shreds another ridiculous fake “breaking news” post about the Packers’ supposed roster moves.It’s loud, it’s petty, it’s weirdly heartfelt, and it’s everything you want out of a post-Lions, pre-Bears rivalry week episode. If you bleed green and gold and enjoy your Packers talk with a side of profanity, nostalgia, and actual football analysis, this is the show you want in your ears.Go Pack Go — and yes, absolutely, F* the Bears.🎧 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.
