Producer Alex Strouf put his athletic reputation on the line for Combine Day — and KBN Nation was asked to guess what he maxed out at on bench press. The tape doesn’t lie: Strouf couldn’t get 135… or even 95 pounds up. The guys break down his 6.30-second 40-yard dash, broad jump attempt, and compare this year’s performance to last year’s viral three-cone drill meltdown. Over/Under makes an appearance… and quickly flops.

Kyle doubles down on a pre-2025 take: Jordan Love is injury-prone, which is why Packers fans obsess over the backup QB position. Jason Wilde joins to discuss the latest out of Green Bay, including whether RB Josh Jacobs could actually be on the move. Then ESPN Milwaukee boss Greg Scalzo jumps on to explain why his assistant called Ben to ask what bread he prefers on sandwiches — and proceeds to absolutely eviscerate Strouf in the process.

The guys attempt to cheer up Strouf after a brutal Combine performance, while also reacting to the Bucks winning 8 of their last 10 games. Strouf power ranks the top five reasons he’s officially starting to go to the gym and admits he’s hit physical rock bottom. Wheel of Strouf features NFL Report Card grades and Badgers basketball’s 19-point loss at Oregon. The show wraps with Bryan Bulaga breaking down the leaked NFLPA Report Card — including why Matt LaFleur ranked second-to-last in coach respect.

Strouf promised a deep-dive Jordan Morgan film session… and didn’t deliver. The guys react to his bold claim that Morgan is the Packers’ future franchise left tackle and demand receipts. Then, Brian Gutekunst speaks at the NFL Combine about “finishing games” — is that subtle criticism of Matt LaFleur’s coaching? The crew debates Rashan Gary’s future, whether Aaron Banks and Nate Hobbs were mistakes, and if Gutey has truly built a Super Bowl-caliber roster. Mark Tauscher joins to wrap the hour.

The “Wedding of Love and Charity” saga reaches a boiling point as KBN Nation campaigns for invites to Alex Strouf’s 2027 wedding. Greg Scalzo drops in to praise Strouf’s “generosity,” which only escalates the chaos. Emotions flare, alliances shift, and Strouf finally unloads on Ben. Then, after a 2.5-year run, “Hear Brad Out” officially comes to an end — with one final, bougie pillow-themed pitch that splits the room.

The Bucks beat the Heat and suddenly… they’re intriguing again. Kyle wrestles with whether Milwaukee should tank for a top-three pick or chase a playoff run to keep Giannis engaged. The crew debates long-term vs. short-term thinking, and whether a play-in push would help or hurt the franchise. Then the wedding tension explodes, Strouf unloads on Ben in a heated exchange, and the show somehow spirals into existential friendship drama before Homer joins to reflect on Marquette’s long-awaited road win and the emotional impact of A Road at Night.

KBN reacts to Brian Gutekunst’s comments at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, where he said the Packers need to “find a way to close out games.” Is that subtle shade at Matt LaFleur and the coaching staff, or simply accountability for the roster? The guys debate whether the Packers’ issues come down to the ingredients (the players Gutey provides) or the chef (LaFleur and his staff). Then the Voice of Wisconsin Athletics, Matt Lepay, joins to discuss A Road At Night, the powerful documentary on Howard Moore, this year’s Badgers basketball team, and reasons for optimism surrounding Wisconsin football heading into the fall.

It’s another edition of Are You Smarter Than Ben Brust?, featuring guest question-asker Kristin Brey of 620 WTMJ, who plugs Bowling For Babies on March 7th in support of the Milwaukee Diaper Mission. The guys react to more from Gutekunst at the Combine, including his thoughts on first-round WR Matthew Golden’s rookie season and what comes next. Then attention shifts to producer Alex Strouf, who is preparing for the second annual Mr. Irrelevant Combine after last year’s viral disaster. From the three-cone drill to dramatic LinkedIn posts (definitely AI-generated) from Jim Rutledge, the hour is packed with chaos and accountability.

The guys react to Brian Gutekunst saying the Packers never want to “load up the credit card” in free agency in one year — but Kyle argues if there’s ever a time to push chips in, it’s now. The conversation pivots to Gutey’s first-round draft track record, with Strouf passionately defending OT Jordan Morgan as a future franchise left tackle — a promise the guys refuse to forget. Wheel of Strouf features Bears head coach Ben Johnson declaring his dislike for the Packers, and the show wraps with Ben providing an unsolicited update on Strouf’s wedding plans that Strouf may or may not approve of.

The full squad is back together — and Strouf is officially off the market. Fresh from vacation and newly engaged, he answers rapid-fire questions from KBN about the proposal: what went right, what nearly went wrong, and how it feels 10 days later now that reality has set in. Then Ben pivots to a different kind of emotional milestone after rewatching Wisconsin’s heartbreaking 2014 Final Four loss to Kentucky — the final game of his college career — and asks the crew: what’s your biggest sports regret? Brad and Kyle share theirs, and KBN Nation calls in with the moments they still can’t shake. Love, heartbreak, and a little therapy to kick off the hour.
