    Paper Boarding Passes, Parking Garage Chaos & Wisconsin Sports Betting Debate

    Are the machines already messing with us? In this hour of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew opens with a hilarious and painfully relatable conversation about modern technology failing at the exact wrong times — from glitchy parking garage scanners to the great generational divide over paper boarding passes vs. phone tickets. Chewy proudly defends printing his boarding pass every time he flies, Jen explains why she’s fully surrendered her privacy to the machines, and Josh raises the uncomfortable reality that whether we like it or not, our phones, our faces and probably everything else are already being tracked. Then the show shifts into a much bigger Wisconsin topic: Online sports betting is one step closer to becoming legal statewide. With a bill now advancing and sitting on Governor Evers’ desk, the crew debates: Whether Wisconsin is finally catching up to the rest of the country If legal online betting is better than pushing people toward unregulated options How much tax revenue the state has been losing to neighboring states Whether this will fundamentally change how people watch sports And if fans should be excited or nervous about gambling becoming even easier to access The hour also touches on: USA Baseball’s loss to Venezuela Bob Harlan’s name going up on the Lambeau Field facade Adam Schefter joining later in the show to discuss the NFLPA and J.C. Tretter 🎧 A funny, timely, and very current hour on technology frustration, privacy, travel habits, and the future of sports gambling in Wisconsin — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

    Do the Packers Have Too Many Holes to Be Contenders?

    Are the Packers really one of the NFL’s best teams right now? In this hour of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew reacts to a new Bleacher Report ranking of the NFL’s top rosters — and the Packers are nowhere to be found in the top 10, or even among the honorable mentions. That sparks the bigger conversation: Is Green Bay actually being underrated? Or does this simply confirm what we already know — that there are still too many holes on this roster? How much pressure does that put on Brian Gutekunst to absolutely nail the upcoming draft? And if the roster isn’t elite yet, what does that say about the coaching staff and the Packers’ real Super Bowl chances? The discussion dives into roster depth, the impact of free-agent departures, lingering question marks at key spots like offensive line and edge, and whether Green Bay’s current construction puts too much weight on rookie contributions. Later in the hour, the crew shifts to a completely different kind of sports debate: Should Jack Hughes get to keep the puck from Team USA’s gold-medal-winning overtime goal? With the puck currently in the Hockey Hall of Fame, the conversation turns into a fun discussion about ownership, legacy, memorabilia, and whether public recognition matters more than personal keepsakes. The show also touches on: USA Baseball falling to Venezuela Bryce Harper’s late home run And whether Team USA plays with the same intensity as other countries in international competition 🎧 A packed hour on Packers roster concerns, draft pressure, Hall of Fame memorabilia, and Team USA frustration — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

    Jason Wilde on Lambeau Naming Rights + Why Rasheed Walker Got Squeezed

    Could Lambeau Field eventually get corporate naming rights? In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Jason Wilde joins the show to break down the financial reality facing the Green Bay Packers and why Ed Policy’s comments about the team’s future revenue options sparked such a strong reaction from fans. Jason explains why the Packers’ ownership structure leaves them without the same private-equity flexibility other NFL teams now have, and why that matters more than many fans realize. He also digs into the emotional side of the discussion: Why Lambeau Field feels different than most stadiums Whether fans would ever truly embrace a corporate sponsor attached to the name Why people would probably still call it Lambeau Field anyway And whether a company would even get enough return on that kind of investment to make it worthwhile The conversation then shifts to Rasheed Walker, whose free-agent market didn’t develop the way many expected. Jason says he was surprised Walker had to settle for a one-year, $10 million deal, and explains why being a former seventh-round pick still affects the way teams evaluate players — even when they’ve proven they can be a capable starter. It’s a thoughtful Packers conversation about economics, perception, and the reality of being a small-market franchise trying to keep up in a league that continues to get more expensive. 🎧 A smart breakdown of Lambeau naming rights, Packers finances, and Rasheed Walker’s surprising deal — with Jason Wilde on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

    Jason Wilde on Lambeau Naming Rights + Why Rasheed Walker’s Market Collapsed

    Could Lambeau Field eventually get corporate naming rights? In this segment of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Jason Wilde joins the show to break down one of the most uncomfortable possibilities for Packers fans: the idea that Green Bay may eventually have to sell naming rights to Lambeau Field in order to keep pace financially with the rest of the NFL. Jason explains why the Packers’ unique ownership structure leaves them without some of the private-equity advantages other teams now have, and why Ed Policy’s recent comments sparked so much conversation. He also raises the biggest questions around any potential naming-rights deal: Would fans ever actually embrace it? Would people still just call it Lambeau Field anyway? And what exactly would a company be paying for if the name never really sticks? The conversation also shifts to Rasheed Walker, whose free-agent market did not develop the way many expected. Jason admits he was surprised Walker ended up having to take a one-year, $10 million prove-it deal, and explains why being a former late-round pick can still affect how teams value a player — even when the tape says he’s a solid starter. It’s a smart, layered Packers discussion about money, perception, roster building, and the future of one of the most iconic stadium names in sports. 🎧 A thoughtful breakdown of Lambeau naming rights, Packers finances, and Rasheed Walker’s surprising free-agent outcome — with Jason Wilde on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

    Would Packers Fans Accept Lambeau Field Naming Rights?

    Would Packers fans ever accept corporate naming rights attached to Lambeau Field? In this hour of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew digs into the emotional and financial debate sparked by Ed Policy’s comments about the Packers needing to explore more revenue options as the NFL changes around them. The discussion centers on a question that makes a lot of fans uncomfortable: If naming rights helped the Packers keep up financially, would it be worth it? The conversation covers: Why Lambeau Field feels different than other stadiums Whether “Lambeau Field” would still just be called Lambeau no matter what How private equity has changed the financial landscape around the NFL Why some fans see this as tradition being threatened Where the real line is between tasteful sponsorship and over-commercialization And whether jersey patches, on-field branding, or other ad placements would bother fans more than naming rights The hour also veers into a broader discussion about sports branding, stadium deals across the country, and whether fans are reacting to actual change — or just the idea of change. Later, the conversation shifts to college football after Matt Leinart reveals USC asked him to un-retire his No. 11 jersey for a recruit. That leads to a fun debate about retired numbers, legacy, and whether colleges should move toward rings of honor instead of retiring jerseys altogether. 🎧 A lively, thoughtful, and very modern sports debate about money, tradition, branding, and what fans are really willing to accept — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

    Will Lambeau Field Lose Its Name? Homer & Chewy Debate the Unthinkable

    Could Lambeau Field actually lose its name? In this wild, hilarious, and surprisingly real hour of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Homer joins Chewy for a deep dive into one of the most uncomfortable Packers topics imaginable: the possibility of selling naming rights to Lambeau Field. The conversation starts with old-guy problems — sleep, hearing aids, melatonin, laser eye surgery, aging, and the realities of getting older — before turning into a full-blown debate about whether the Packers will eventually have to put a corporate sponsor on one of the most iconic stadium names in sports. The big questions: Is selling Lambeau’s naming rights inevitable? Would Packers fans actually accept it? Is Ed Policy preparing fans for that reality? Are private equity and modern NFL economics forcing Green Bay’s hand? And is “Homer’s generation” the reason it hasn’t happened already? This hour is part Packers business, part culture war, part comedy, and completely chaotic in the best way. 🎧 A funny, honest, and very Wisconsin debate about tradition, money, and what Lambeau Field should mean going forward.
