Chris Lempesis is back in his Packers basement for another edition of Emptying The Bag, the Tuesday night mailbag that’s become a LempsTalkinPack tradition.

He starts by revealing how he really feels heading into Sunday night’s headline matchup: Aaron Rodgers vs. the Green Bay Packers. Spoiler — it’s not what you’d expect from a lifelong superfan. From there, he empties the overflowing mailbag and tackles listener questions and comments from Twitter, BlueSky, Facebook, and email.

Topics include:

Whether kicker Lucas Havrisik has a long-term future in Green Bay

How Micah Parsons is rewriting the Packers’ defensive identity

Matt LaFleur’s play-calling highs and lows through six weeks

The ongoing discipline and penalty issues

What Chris would do first if he were running football operations in Titletown

As always, the show blends insight, humor, and honesty — plus a healthy pour of Oktoberfest. Pull up a seat in the Packers basement, crack a beer, and enjoy another unfiltered, heartfelt look inside the green and gold.

Chris and Dave return for another half-therapy, half-comedy session disguised as a Packers podcast, fighting through technical difficulties that were somehow less confusing than Matt LaFleur’s play-calling. The Packers’ offense once again looked like a bad improv troupe (“Yes, and… three-and-out”), while the defense seemed determined to audition for the role of “perpetually late to the party.”

From Jordan Love’s roller-coaster performance to LaFleur’s sudden change of heart—running the ball and remembering his quarterback exists—the guys dissect the latest Green Bay spectacle with sarcasm, sighs, and a few surprisingly insightful moments in between. Add in another round of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Picks for the degenerates who still believe gambling can heal emotional wounds, and you’ve got another vintage episode of Packers Therapy.

Whether you’re hate-listening, hope-listening, or just here for the catharsis, join Chris and Dave as they laugh through the pain, question their life choices, and cling to that eternal Packers fan mantra: Maybe next week will be better.

Hosts Chris and Dave began the show as a way of capturing the spirited chats the two co-workers had about the team around the office. The two have no pretense about being experts: they are just two opinionated shareholders who love the team, follow it closely, but don’t always see the Packers fortunes eye to eye.

After a not-so-pretty win over the Bengals, the Cheesehead Radio crew is back in full voice—well, once CD fixes his mic.

In this week’s episode, CD Angeli (@TundraVision) and Jersey Al Bracco (@JerseyAlGBP) dive deep into the Packers’ ongoing identity crisis: they’ve led by double digits in every game, yet still can’t seem to finish cleanly. From Matthew Golden’s rookie spark to Jordan Love’s high-risk red-zone adventures, no topic is off-limits.

Expect laughs, stats, and a few lovingly exasperated sighs as they ask the eternal question: are the Packers contenders, pretenders, or just a team that likes to keep us all one field goal away from cardiac arrest?

Plus:

Josh Jacobs’ flu game and the O-line shuffle

Micah Parsons vs. the referees (and gravity)

Injury updates, Arizona previews, and game predictions that are bound to age poorly by Sunday night

It’s Cheesehead Radio—seventeen seasons of wit, wisdom, and Wisconsin-born optimism, even when the coffee’s cold and the defense is tired.

🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your Packers fix.

Presented by Ticket King, Cheesehead Radio is back for its 17th season — your go-to Packers podcast for news, fun, and a little bit of frivolity.

Chris Lempesis is back with another edition of his Tuesday night mailbag show, where he answers all the questions and comments he couldn't get to on Sunday night.

Chris and Dave return for another emotional autopsy disguised as a Packers podcast, breaking down Green Bay’s “win” over the Bengals—a game so weird it deserves therapy. The defense started out like world-beaters, then ghosted faster than your last Tinder date. LaFleur ran the ball like it was a court-ordered mandate, Jordan Love looked competent… until he didn’t, and poor Tucker Kraft might as well have been in witness protection.

Meanwhile, Matthew Golden continues to sparkle, the special teams continue to mystify, and the guys once again prove that humor is the only healthy coping mechanism for Packers fandom. From the one sack on Joe “Still Somehow Playing” Flacco to the latest batch of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Picks for the degenerates who love pain and parlays, it’s another week of laughs, lamentations, and long-distance diagnoses from Packers Therapy.

Grab your beverage of choice, lower your expectations, and join Chris, Dave, and Dr. Klaus (in spirit) as they unpack the psychological damage that comes from caring too much about this team.

Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer Room for another round of honest-to-God Packers talk, breaking down Green Bay’s uneven 27–18 win over the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field.

It’s victory beer time, but not without a few grimaces — because as Chris says, a win is a win… but…

The first half looked like a slog, the second half like a surge. Jordan Love made some elite-level throws and Josh Jacobs bulldozed his way through the Bengals defense (while sick, no less), but the defense and special teams continued to struggle with consistency. Once again, the Packers looked like two different teams in one game — dominant in stretches, disjointed in others.

In this episode:

The duality of the 2025 Packers: flashes of greatness vs. maddening lapses

Jordan Love’s almost-elite performance — and the one or two throws still holding him back

Josh Jacobs: “an all-time dude,” sick and still sensational

Offensive line redemption (and why chemistry matters as much as talent)

The defense’s disappearing act after halftime and Jeff Hafley’s quick-pass problem

The continued lack of takeaways — and what it says about this “almost great” defense

A few choice listener takes from BlueSky, Instagram, and email, including whether Matt LaFleur can really get this team over the hump

It’s a cathartic, funny, and classic Lemp episode — equal parts realism and ridiculousness — as the Pack moves to 3-1-1 and back atop the NFC North. Grab a beer, rub your back against the Packers chair, and enjoy the ride.
