Brick Lombardi cracks open the vault. Four tracks. Four moods. One very bad night for a Bears fan in Naperville, Illinois. The episode opens on the dance floor with GO PACK GO — an electro-pop, crunk-influenced banger built for the club and dedicated to the women who bleed green and gold. Standards are green and gold. If you don't know that, Brick does. From there, the energy shifts hard into PRESSURE — a cinematic, Queen-interpolated meditation on pass protection collapse and the particular dread of watching Jordan Love disappear into a rush. Heavy. Restrained. Honest. SUPERSTITIOUS brings the groove — a Stevie Wonder-influenced funk anthem for every Packer fan who's never spoken their ritual out loud. Same chair. Same hoodie. Same socks. The commentator jinx as a theological crisis. You know the system. You never talk about the system. Brick talks about the system. The episode closes with LET 'EM CRY — a Southern rock ballad. Organ, acoustic guitar, and a Bears fan alone at a bar in Naperville. Fourth and one. Caleb threw it low. Keisean Nixon took it from there. The song sounds like sympathy. It is not sympathy.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is in the recliner, meatball sandwich in hand, and he is FIRED UP. ESPN Milwaukee and ESPN Madison — the hometown guys, the cheese curd crowd — are calling the Lukas Van Ness fifth-year option a bust move. Thirteen point eight million dollars guaranteed, and they're calling it stupid. Sal is here to tell them exactly how wrong they are, receipts in hand, like a man returning a busted toaster oven. Van Ness posted 23 pressures in a half season on a busted foot — a career high — and ten pressures in his final three games. That's not a bust. That's Hercules warming up. The market context is damning for the critics: Kingsley Enagbare just got TEN million for ONE year from the Jets. Van Ness at thirteen point eight for two years is a bargain by comparison. With Rashan Gary traded to Dallas, Kingsley gone, and Micah Parsons rehabbing a torn ACL, the Packers needed Van Ness. The runway is finally clear — and Gutey made sure it wasn't empty.

Pack Daddy is stir crazy, the callers are locked in, and somehow the whole thing turns into one of the most unexpectedly insightful nights in After Dark history. Ryan opens with a restless energy he can't shake — bungee jumping, road trips to Maine, a pint of ice cream — but the calls keep coming and so does the football. Daniel from California breaks down exactly how the Packers' 2025 draft class is schemed to attack the NFC's biggest hurdles — Brandon C'Sae as the answer to the Rams' edge-run game and McClellan as the interior pressure weapon Caleb Williams genuinely cannot handle TJ from Alabama veers into a late-night riff on "my truth," personal responsibility, and the libertarian Gen X worldview that apparently nobody under 30 remembers anymore Uncle Rico delivers his definitive NFL loyalty doctrine across multiple legendary call-ins: every player is garbage unless they're a Packer, and the moment they leave, that's it — they're garbage again Garrett from Southern Illinois calls in with high praise for the Sal experiment, and Ryan goes full manifesto mode on AI — where it's headed, why the eBay analogy is terrifying, and why Jensen Huang is basically right about everything Ryan teases a conspiracy theory for tomorrow's episode tied to the media integrity questions raised by recent off-field drama, and promises to explain why he ever brought it up in the first place Call in live at 608-501-0718 — new callers go straight to the front of the line.

Pack Nation, Ryan is fired up — and this one turned into something special. What started as a quick take on Lucas Van Ness's fifth year option turned into a full-on intervention for Packer fans who've convinced themselves that nobody on this roster is worth paying. Buckle up. The Rasini Rabbit Hole: Ryan goes deep on the conspiracy theory nobody is saying out loud — could The Athletic's investigation into inappropriate reporter-source relationships be connected to a sudden wave of high-profile NFL executives "stepping away to pursue other passions"? He wants credit if it turns out to be true. Lucas Van Ness Is a No-Brainer: The fifth year option is a bargain. Van Ness is slotting in as roughly the 40th-highest-paid pass rusher in the league. Letting him walk means handing the edge rotation to Baron Sorrell and a prayer. Ryan breaks down exactly why this isn't a debate. Salary Cap School Is In Session: Ryan pulls out his salary cap calculator at packergames.com and walks through why fans are consistently overestimating what these contracts actually cost. Aaron Rodgers' $33M deal in 2018 would be worth $61M today — and we panicked then too. Stop Playing the "He's Not Worth It" Game: From Jaden Reed to Christian Watson to Wyatt to Tucker Craft — Ryan argues that Packer fans systematically undervalue their own players and then have no plan for what to do with the savings. Gutey himself said "absolutely" when asked if they can still afford Watson. Call in and tell Ryan something crazy to do — 608-501-0718. New callers go to the front of the line.

With the Seahawks taking a running back with their first pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, we welcome Thomas Rawls back to the show to discuss Jadarian Price and what translates from college to the NFL. From pass protection and processing defensive tendencies, to winning small "crease" moments with technique and decisiveness Rawls explains why backs struggle in pass pro, why closing space matters, and how great runners adjust on the fly. He evaluates Price's film traits—pressing the line, jump cuts, getting back north, falling forward, and blending explosiveness with consistent one-cut efficiency—while addressing how he could fit alongside current backs amid injury-related opportunity. Plus, we hear about Rawls' upcoming community events in June. Support the show Get in the Flock!

The conversation then shifts to baseball, where the crew debates which Yankee is most critical to the team's success in a Sports Scantron segment, followed by a True or False discussion centered on Mike Trout. Things heat up with a massive three-team trade scenario involving the Yankees, Angels, and Reds, as they argue over who would hang up first in a potential Trout deal. The episode also features a New York-focused edition of Way or No Way, tackling big questions about the futures of the Yankees, Mets, Jets, Giants, and Knicks, including whether a Giannis move could be in play. Later, TASS leads a “Who Would You Rather Have Going Forward” segment centered on Ben Rice, comparing him to some of the top young talent across baseball. The show wraps with a creative Sports Lunchbox hypothetical involving an Aaron Judge trade to Detroit and a Real or Fake game testing knowledge of Kentucky Derby horse names.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with The Times of Israel's senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur. On Sunday, former prime ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid announced a joint run for this year's Israeli elections. Immediately, polling showed that the combined electoral slate, dubbed “Together,” would win a total of 26 seats if elections were held Monday, placing them ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud as the Knesset’s largest party, according to Channel 12. Later in the week, Opposition Leader Lapid told Bennett that he was willing to take third place, rather than second, on their joint electoral slate if it would help secure a broader merger with Yashar party chairman Gadi Eisenkot. On this week's episode, in the spirit of the newly completed NFL draft, we play fantasy football and weigh the merits of the current parties and politicians vyying for the Knesset in this year's election. And so this week, we ask Haviv Rettig Gur what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by Ari Schlacht.
