Homer and Gary Ellerson react to the Packers’ preseason opener, with Gary saying he feels better about Green Bay after watching Trey Smack drill two 58-yard kicks and seeing Jonathan Gannon’s defense play with aggression. Gary likes that the Packers appeared willing to run their real defensive concepts in the preseason, saying the reps matter as players learn the timing, lanes and communication of a new system. The conversation turns to individual depth pieces like Brenton Cox Jr., Baron Sorrell and Marshawn Lloyd, with Gary saying Lloyd has the talent and wiggle to help but still has to prove he can stay healthy. Homer and Gary also dig into the offensive line uncertainty, Tucker Kraft versus Christian Watson as the Packers’ biggest weapon, and whether Keisean Nixon’s missed tackle should actually change his role. The hour closes with a deeper debate about Matt LaFleur’s Jordan Love-Aaron Rodgers comparison, Adam Thielen’s comments about Rodgers’ stressful hand-signal system, and why Gary believes the Packers can feel better after one preseason game even with plenty still unresolved.

Ben and Kyle open Friday’s show reacting to the Packers’ preseason loss to the Steelers, but Kyle says it still felt like a win because Trey Smack delivered a perfect kicking debut. Kyle is ready to declare the rookie kicker the next Mason Crosby after two 58-yard makes, while Ben tries to keep perspective because it was still only one preseason game. The guys also debate whether Smack’s night or the Brewers’ ninth-inning comeback against the Dodgers mattered more, with Ben siding firmly with Milwaukee after five singles helped end a frustrating skid. Whitefish Bay’s Little League run against Iowa weaves through the hour, including Kyle’s hometown pride, Craig Counsell jokes and the painful extra-innings loss. Packers talk closes with encouraging signs from Lucas Van Ness, Jordan Morgan and Brandon Cissé, but serious concern over Keisean Nixon’s missed tackle, the cornerback competition and the still-unsettled offensive line.

Hour 2 starts with Ben defending his no-cuddle bedtime rules after his daughter kept asking to be held, which quickly becomes another debate over the Brust household’s “only winners” standard. Packers disrespect returns when Mike Florio ranks Green Bay 16th in his preseason power rankings, behind teams like the Bears, Texans and Bengals. Kyle unloads on Florio as a Vikings fan and Packers hater, arguing Green Bay should be much closer to the top 10 even with Micah Parsons expected to miss the start of the season. The guys also discuss how much a possible Josh Jacobs suspension would change the offense, with Ben saying it could force Matt LaFleur to let Jordan Love throw more while Kyle worries about Marshawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks carrying the backfield. Guess Who closes the hour with Kyle revisiting his takes on sneezing during the plague, swamp-ass checks, betting spreads, discount lettuce, Brazilian waxes and CKatt’s movie-popcorn standards.

The 414 Hour opens with Torey Lowe joining the show without Kyle’s long-awaited wedding-gift T-shirt, sending Ben into a full investigation of whether the shirt even exists and why it has been sitting in Mequon for more than a week. Tori, Kyle and Ben then turn back to the Packers, debating whether Trey Smack was the clear No. 1 takeaway from the preseason opener and whether the offensive line or defensive depth remains the bigger concern. Brewers talk takes over with Milwaukee’s five-single ninth-inning comeback against the Dodgers, the Cubs staying close, Robert Gasser facing Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the upcoming Jacob Misiorowski start versus the Logan Henderson-Tarik Skubal matchup. Catastrophic covers the Field of Dreams hot dog menu, CKatt’s old gas-station hot dog routine and his movie-pass obsession before Homer crashes in to argue that splitters, knuckleballs, cutters and sweepers are all just variations of four basic pitches. The hour ends with Ben revealing he hid Kyle’s missing eight-iron, Gary Ellerson stopping by, and Homer joining Kyle in declaring Trey Smack’s preseason debut historically great.
