Green Bay Chat

The 2025 NFL Schedule has been released. We start planning ahead for an 18 week adventure and we announce the destination of this season's GBC Road Trip. Join us!

We went to the NFL draft in Green Bay! We talk about the entire experience in the city, including the draft area, the excitement among the crowds for the draft itself and for the Packers picks, booing Roger Goodell, chanting "the Bears Still Suck," talking with Jerry Kramer and Lynn Swann, the feel in the Stadium District and in bars and restaurants throughout Green Bay, and our post-draft fun. And, yes, we talk about the actual Packers draft picks as well.

Coming to Green Bay for the NFL Draft? Wondering where to go drinking to properly enjoy Green Bay [outside of the draft experience]? We've got you covered. From the bars of the stadium district, to the dive bars of Broadway, to downtown and rooftops, and the wider ranges of bars in downtown, Starlite, Line Kiln, and Allouez on the east side, plus De Pere - there are a diverse range of bars that can suit your interest and give you a feel for different parts of the culture of Green Bay. Plus the distinct foods to absorb the alcohol: fish fry, booyah, Green Bay-style chili, butter burgers, kringles. Enjoy them all - there's a lot more to Green Bay than the stadium-area experience.

We talk with draft guru and author of the 248-page UK and Irish Packers ( ⁨@UKPackers⁩ ) Draft Guide, Peter Jones, about all things NFL draft: which positions are strong, which positions are long, which positions are down to get the friction on. What players and positions are the best bets for Packers picks in the 1st round, in the early rounds, and in the late rounds? Who should the Packers trade up for, and what would cause the Packers to trade down? Peter watches hundreds of hours of college football every year in preparing his draft guide. Finally, Peter makes his Packers' first round pick, with his head and with his heart.

We talk about the NFL draft in Green Bay, Packers draft prospects and potential picks, and Packers free agency with Alex Strouf of ESPN/Milwaukee and ESPN/Madison.

What positions will the Packers focus on, who are the best prospects and players the Packers might pick at each position, and what do the Packers actions in free agency tell us about what Brian Gutekunst is thinking?

Plus our general excitement of the NFL Draft celebrating all things Green Bay and Wisconsin.

We have a wide-ranging discussion with radio veteran and Philadelphia native Scott Linn about the current Philadelphia Eagles team, Andy Reid, Philadelphia fandom (including the Super Bowls in 1980, 2004, and 2017, and the special magic of Philly sports in 1980), "coaching yogurt", #HobbyResponsibly, what it's like being on Radio Row during Super Bowl media week, how to have a great interview, watching this year's NFC CG in Barcelona and the nature of fandom, the Frankford Yellow Jackets, and the Philly musical antidotes to Taylor Swift: McFadden and Whitehead "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" and Grover Washington Jr.'s Winelight.

We talk all things Chiefs with Charles Robinson of Arrowhead Addict. What has this run been like as a Chiefs fan, do you embrace being the villain, what is different about this Chiefs team? How do Chiefs match up against the Eagles? How does this Chiefs run fit into Chiefs history?

Plus we talk about the Packers two threepeats (1929-1930-1931 and 1965-1966-1967), discussing favorite players from each threepeat. And which Taylor Swift songs best represent this Chiefs run? Finally, we predict the outcome of the game.

We discuss the Packers-Eagles playoffs game (including our many positive takes from the game), the pregame events in Philly, and interactions with Philly fans on the subway and at the Linc. Plus, we celebrate the 100th episode of the GBC Podcast!

Previewing the Packers-Eagles wild card playoffs game - what do the Packers need to do to win in Philly!

Plus discussion of the "hows" of going to the Linc and attending the game as a visiting fan, as well as our predictions for the game and the NFL playoffs.

We review the Packers-Bears game, including a number of curious decisions made by the coaching staff.

We also celebrate a number of "eight" milestones on the season, and talk about the game atmosphere in Lambeau Field and tailgating beforehand (including a visit to the Lot 1 Tailgate by former Packers QB Craig Nall).

Plus a rant about how to dress when playing in the cold.
