5P: A bridge reopening and Brewers Fever

4P: Talking Packers and Brewers!

Sandy Maxx sits down with Westown Association of MKE Executive Director Stacie Callies to discuss the final Milwaukee Night Market of the 2026 calendar year taking place on Wednesday Oct 7th and celebrates the Brewers thrilling win in Game 2 of the NLDS over San Diego in a short What's on Tap before the Bucks first preseason game.

The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust celebrates a nearly perfect Wisconsin sports weekend, but there’s only one place to start: Jackson Chourio and the Brewers taking a 2-0 NLDS lead over San Diego. Milwaukee survived Jacob Misiorowski lasting only four innings Saturday and three errors Sunday, yet found a way to win both games. Kyle and Ben explain why this team’s resilience, bullpen and unwavering confidence under Pat Murphy have them believing the Brewers can legitimately win the World Series.

And then there’s Chourio. The 22-year-old delivers another massive October moment, driving home the walk-off winner against Mason Miller and continuing to build his reputation as Milwaukee’s postseason star. The guys debate whether Chourio has become one of the new faces of Wisconsin sports and hear from fans about where Sunday’s finish ranks among their greatest Brewers memories.

Unfortunately, Ben has some explaining to do. After spending months destroying Kyle for leaving a regular-season Brewers game early, Ben admits he left Game 1 of the NLDS in the eighth inning because he was hungover. Kyle immediately declares him the biggest Brewers fraud in Wisconsin, the K&B Fam suggests punishments and Ben desperately tries to reclaim whatever remains of his seamhead credibility.

Then the Packers somehow turn a 17-14 victory in Tampa Bay into another reason for concern. Edgerrin Cooper is lost for the season, Green Bay again fails to close out a game and Kyle says the Packers now look like the worst team in the NFC North. With the Bears coming to Lambeau, even Kyle admits his faith in Matt LaFleur is disappearing. The contrast couldn’t be sharper: the Brewers enter crunch time believing they’ll find a way to win, while the Packers seem to enter the fourth quarter waiting for something to go wrong.

3P: The latest on the FlyDubai terror attack and Pierce County wolf killings

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Bryan Bulaga react to another Packers win that somehow came with a devastating price. Edgerrin Cooper is lost for the season, and Bulaga calls it a massive blow because Green Bay simply cannot scheme its way into replacing his athleticism. Cooper was the defense’s coverage linebacker and one of the few players capable of tilting the field, making his absence even more painful with Micah Parsons still sidelined.

And Cooper’s injury arrives at the worst possible time. Chicago comes to Lambeau with a dominant rushing attack, and Bulaga expects the Bears to repeatedly attack the middle of Green Bay’s defense until the Packers prove they can stop it. Atlanta and Tampa Bay have already put the blueprint on tape, and without Cooper, Bulaga says stopping the run becomes the entire game. Green Bay’s offense also needs to sustain drives to keep an already vulnerable defense from getting worn down.

Jason Wilde joins the show and agrees there’s no real replacement for Cooper. He also warns that Green Bay’s improved offensive-line performance against Tampa Bay needs context: the Buccaneers entered the game blitzing on 44% of snaps but blitzed Green Bay only 17% of the time. That luxury disappears against Chicago, with Wilde and Bulaga expecting Dennis Allen to aggressively test whether the rebuilt Packers line has actually improved.

Plus, the guys hand out their Three Pillars from the win, including Evan Williams, Anthony Belton and Matthew Golden, before Homer unveils his solution to Green Bay’s running-game problems: load the field with tight ends. Bulaga doesn’t quite endorse Homer’s running-back-free revolution, but he does believe heavier two- and three-tight-end packages could help Green Bay finally establish something consistent on the ground.

The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust stays locked into Brewers fever after Jackson Chourio’s latest October heroics. The K&B Fam wonders whether Milwaukee has officially become a team of destiny after winning two completely different games to take a 2-0 series lead. Even when Jacob Misiorowski was forced out early and Logan Henderson fell behind, the bullpen and lineup kept finding answers. Kyle and Ben also dive into the Mason Miller pitch-tipping conversation and explain why recognizing a pitcher’s tendencies is simply part of baseball.

Brewers legend Nyjer Morgan joins the show and says Chourio’s walk-off was one of the most magical moments in franchise history. T-Plush explains why Chourio is operating on a different level at just 22 years old, why Milwaukee’s belief in one another separates this team and how Pat Murphy has created complete buy-in throughout the clubhouse. And Morgan is officially aboard the championship float, predicting the Brewers will be “raising a trophy.”

Then Jason Wilde joins the show to make sense of a Packers victory that somehow felt like a loss. Edgerrin Cooper is out for the season, leaving Green Bay without one of its most dynamic defensive players after he recorded nine tackles, a sack and a huge interception against Tampa Bay. Wilde explains why Cooper’s absence could fundamentally change the defense and why Isaiah McDuffie simply cannot replace his field-tilting ability.

There was at least one encouraging development: the offensive line finally looked better. Wilde praises Laken Tomlinson and Travis Glover, but cautions that Tampa Bay blitzed on only 17% of snaps after entering the game at 44%. So was Green Bay’s improvement real, or did Todd Bowles make life considerably easier for Jordan Love and the revamped line?
