A disappointing start to the border battle for the Brewers after a promising start as Shane Drohan struggles and the offense sputters in the late innings. Dom Cotroneo and Craig Coshun detail Jackson Chourio staying white hot, Drohan's mishaps and much more on BEI.

Jason Wilde joins Molly & Jim! He has a request regarding his open, shows his appreciation for fans, tells them what to expect from Family Night, which isn't much, discusses Trey Smack's job security including his apparent skill kicking inside of Lambeau, and much more!

Molly & Jim rolls on into hour number two as they listen to another egregious take regarding the Green Bay Packers, this time from Colin Cowherd, who believes that the Packers are much too soft under Matt LaFleur. Molly & Jim debate where the blame should actually fall when it comes to Green Bay's late game and late season struggles. They also discuss MarShawn Lloyd and the running back room and how many games the Brewers will win during Jim's absence before sending you into the weekend!

Homer opens the Gary Ellerson Homer Hour with an Enes Kanter Freedom WNBA draft story, but Gary immediately shuts it down and pushes the show back toward Packers training camp. Gary and Homer dig into Jonathan Gannon’s defensive résumé, whether his Arizona struggles should worry Packers fans, and why moving young defenders like Lucas Van Ness, Brenton Cox Jr. and Brandon Sorrell around could be a problem. The guys also discuss Jordan Morgan at left tackle, how much a scheme change can really unlock a player, Quay Walker’s future in Las Vegas, and Gary’s belief that the Brewers were right not to overpay for Tarik Skubal. Tim Van Vooren joins from Lambeau Field for Family Night and says Green Bay’s defense has produced plenty of flashes, but not yet a clear identity. TVV also spotlights Brandon Cissé’s maturity, the pressure on Trey Smack, the importance of edge rushers stepping up before Micah Parsons returns, Tucker Kraft’s contract situation, and Marshawn Lloyd’s chance to show he can be part of the Packers’ plan.

Ben and Kyle open Friday’s show live from IKEA in Oak Creek with one last big Brewers trade-deadline reset after reports made them feel better about Milwaukee’s pursuit of Tarik Skubal. They debate why the Dodgers had the prospect-and-payroll flexibility to land Skubal, while the Brewers had to protect players like Jesús Made, Luis Lara, Cooper Pratt and Logan Henderson. The guys still worry Milwaukee’s bats may not be consistent enough against the Dodgers, even if Dustin May, JoJo Romero and Antonio Senzatela improve the pitching picture. Packers talk takes over when Chris Canty predicts Green Bay will finish last in the NFC North and calls Jordan Love a middle-of-the-road quarterback. Kyle fires back at the national disrespect, defends Love, and makes a bold case that Jonathan Gannon can turn the Packers defense into a top-five unit even before Micah Parsons returns.

Hour 2 starts with a full office debate over which 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee would help the current Packers most in their prime: Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Kuechly or Adam Vinatieri. Kyle stuns the room by picking Vinatieri, arguing Packers fans know too well how much playoff heartbreak can come from missed kicks, while Ben and C-Katt lean toward adding a Hall of Fame quarterback like Brees. The debate spirals into Jordan Love’s ceiling, whether the Packers already have enough at quarterback, and callers weighing in with Love-versus-Brees comparisons. The Brewers return to the spotlight after Jacob Misiorowski appears on The Pat McAfee Show and talks about possibly reaching 107 miles per hour. Ben and Kyle both say they do not need Miz chasing velocity records right now, especially after arm fatigue, while also laughing about WWE’s The Miz telling Misiorowski to find a different nickname.

It's Molly & Jim on a Friday! They start by learning something new about Riley before transitioning into a heated debate surrounding Jordan Love after listening to Chris Canty. Jim is convinced that Jordan Love is essentially the next Kirk Cousins while Molly disagrees STRONGLY. Then they're joined by Jason Wilde! He has a request regarding his open, tells them what to expect from Family Night, which isn't much, Trey Smack's job security, and much more!

The 414 Hour opens with Brewers scoreboard-watching anxiety after a fan asks Ben about the Cubs, leading the guys to debate whether Milwaukee fans should already be tracking Chicago while the Brewers still sit on top of the National League. Kyle says he is not fully scoreboard watching yet, but Ben admits he follows the Cubs, Dodgers and the rest of the playoff bracket because October matchups are already getting interesting. The conversation takes a comic turn as Kyle is forced to choose between Caleb Williams and Pete Crow-Armstrong in a series of uncomfortable hypotheticals. Packers talk returns with Jordan Love discussing the value of getting steady reps with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden instead of living in a full receiver-by-committee world. The guys say a clearer top three should simplify the offense, build chemistry, help Matt LaFleur trust the passing game, and possibly push Love into an MVP-type season. Catastrophic closes with Purdue’s awkward Indiana shot, Stephon Diggs jokes, C-Katt’s dog-walking dilemma, a WNBA coin-flip best bet, and Ben spilling sparkling water all over the IKEA couch.

Jesse Rogers joins Peggy and Dionne to discuss PCA's MVP case and the recent stretch for the Cubs and White Sox.
