State Pride Shines on the Big Screen with “No Packers, No Life”

It is the world premiere of No Packers, No Life and The Todd Allbaugh Show is live on location to share a behind-the-scenes look at the way state pride shines on the big screen through this documentary. It’s based on the story of Wisconsin native Ty Morse and his visit to Tokyo’s Shibuya Crossing. The film reveals how this leads to an unlikely encounter with a devoted Japanese Packers cheering team.

Co-producers Paul Jaconi-Biery and Sean Hanish join Allbaugh at the Marcus Majestic Theatre in Waukesha to discuss their mission to showcase Wisconsin’s warmth and community spirit on screen. The two also co-produced the hit Just a Bit Outside about the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers team.

This conversation includes Director Craig Benzine who highlights how the Packers connect people around the world. And he says it shows that Wisconsin hospitality knows no borders.

The second half of The Todd Allbaugh Show features an interview with Ty Morse who is the film’s producer and star. Allbaugh is also joined by two special guests — Ken and Ray — the oldest and youngest members of the Japanese Packers cheering team.

Their warmth and humor light up as they share what it’s like to travel from Japan to Wisconsin, discover Lambeau Field, and find themselves embraced as family by local fans.

Through laughter, some translation, and stories of friendship, the show reveals the heart of the film itself — how sports can bridge distance, culture, and language.

“It’s about people coming together, about passion, and about building real relationships,” Morse says.

Allbaugh closes the show with details on upcoming premieres across Wisconsin — from Green Bay to La Crosse — and a few good-natured laughs about “trolling Bears fans” with a showing in Gurnee, Illinois.
