Plus, a replay of our conversation with UW–La Crosse political science professor Anthony Chergosky on voter priorities, campaign momentum, and the road to November.

TMJ4’s Charles Benson joins to recap Election Day and break down Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley’s narrow victory in the gubernatorial primary. Plus, a look ahead to the general election, the key issues likely to shape the race, and what candidates must do to win over Wisconsin voters in the months ahead.

Jason Wilde joins Kyle and Brust to preview Packers-Steelers preseason night and says the offensive line and kicker Trey Smack deserve equal attention because they are Green Bay’s two biggest concerns. Wilde says the offensive line somehow has more questions than it did when camp opened, especially with Anthony Belton sliding away from the starting right guard job, Jacob Monk rising, and Aaron Banks still not getting enough team reps. He also agrees that Matt LaFleur’s choice not to signal whether camp kicks were good or no-good was soft because it made the rookie kicker seem like he needed protection. Wilde says Brandon Cissé and the cornerbacks are also worth watching once they face players who are not their own teammates. He closes by comparing Aaron Rodgers’ Packers departure to Brett Favre’s and says the Favre exit was far more contentious, even though Rodgers clearly still views his own ending in Green Bay as difficult.

Ben and Kyle open Thursday’s show with a safe-space Brewers vent session after Milwaukee gets swept by the Padres and drops another tight game because of missed chances with runners in scoring position. Ben is frustrated by the lack of timely hitting, the failure to move Joey Ortiz over in a key fifth-inning spot, and the late-game bullpen choices that helped San Diego tie it before winning in extras. Kyle says the slump exposes the same concern he had at the deadline: the Brewers still may not have enough dependable pop, especially if Christian Yelich is not that veteran run-producing bat. The guys debate whether Brewers fans should be watching the Cubs in the rearview mirror or focusing on the Dodgers, Braves and upcoming playoff-caliber tests. Mina Kimes then sparks Packers talk by pointing out how run-heavy Matt LaFleur was last season, giving Kyle more evidence for his “Liberate Love” campaign before Over/Under tests the guys on Aaron Rodgers’ favorite Packers touchdown targets.

Hour 2 starts with Adam Schefter predicting Tucker Kraft’s extension could reset the tight end market at around $20 million per year, leading Ben and Kyle to debate what kind of production should come with that contract. Kyle says he loves Kraft but would expect unquestioned top-three tight end results if he becomes the highest-paid player at the position. Jason Wilde joins to preview Packers-Steelers preseason night and says the offensive line, Trey Smack and the cornerback competition are Green Bay’s biggest watch points. Wilde also says Matt LaFleur’s decision not to signal good or no-good on camp kicks was soft, even though he still believes LaFleur is a good coach. Later, Chris Canty’s demand that Jordan Love win a playoff game fuels another Packers disrespect conversation, with Kyle arguing Love played at an elite level against Chicago while Ben says winning the division and advancing deeper in the playoffs are what will quiet the debate.

The 414 Hour opens with Kyle bringing a single golf club into the studio as Ben and CKatt try to explain which iron he should use, what a green in regulation means, and why his upcoming par-three bet already feels chaotic. The conversation turns into a full CKatt life audit as the guys debate his nine-and-a-half-year relationship, whether he should be golfing with listeners at 6:40 a.m., and how quickly is too quickly to get engaged. Packers preseason talk takes over with Green Bay Props and Preview, including Skyy Moore return yards, Jordan Love hits, Aaron Rodgers camera shots, Trey Smack puns, missed field goals, Marshawn Lloyd yards, Super Bowl XLV references and how many conclusions the guys will overreact to by morning. Catastrophic includes CKatt inviting listeners to join his early tee time, ESPN’s top-50 MLB list putting Jacob Misiorowski fourth and Bryce Turang 16th, and a surprisingly strong DMV photo that sends the segment sideways. Bryan Bulaga joins late to preview the offensive line, Trey Smack and Jordan Love’s pre-snap command, while also defending Iowa’s offensive line résumé against Wisconsin’s.
