Kyle & Brust

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.

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.

Ben and Kyle open Thursday’s show live from Leff’s at the Wisconsin State Fair with the Christian Yelich conversation still carrying the Brewers’ week. After Pat Murphy defended Yeli from boos, the guys react to the crowd responding with a loud ovation and Yelich answering with an RBI double. Kyle takes a victory lap for backing Yeli, while Ben warns it was still only one game and keeps the focus on what Milwaukee needs from its designated hitter down the stretch. The Brewers’ bigger October picture then takes over, with Tim Kurkjian calling them the best team in baseball and the guys debating how Jacob Misiorowski, Kyle Harrison and Logan Henderson could make Matt Arnold’s deadline patience look right. The hour also includes the return of “2030 Kyle,” Evan Cohen’s Badgers optimism, skepticism about Luke Fickell hype, and Over/Under on the Brewers’ all-time home run leaders.

Hour 2 starts with Packers training camp chaos after Marshawn Lloyd scores a practice touchdown and celebrates with a backflip, immediately raising alarms because of his injury history. Ben and Kyle debate how important Lloyd really is as Josh Jacobs’ backup and whether Jordan Love should be the one telling offensive teammates to stop taking unnecessary risks. Jason Wilde joins from Green Bay and says Lloyd’s stock is rising, but even Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst are clearly guarding their feelings because of everything Lloyd has already been through. Wilde also discusses Jordan Morgan’s left tackle reps against Lucas Van Ness, Jordan Love’s footwork, Jonathan Gannon’s defensive disguises, and the ongoing Trey Smack rookie kicker saga. The hour closes with Ben trying to avoid assembling furniture for his wife, the Brewers taking three of four from the Pirates, and Kyle Harrison’s cramping issue leading to pickle-shot and hot-cinnamon theories.

The 414 Hour opens with the Brewers improving to 72-43 after taking three of four from the Pirates, but Ben stays on Yeli Watch after Christian Yelich goes 0-for-4. Dustin May becomes the main Brewers story after delivering a quality start in his Milwaukee debut, giving the guys a chance to compare his first outing with Tarik Skubal’s Dodgers debut and rethink what the playoff rotation could look like. Ben and Kyle debate whether Misiorowski, Harrison and Henderson are already the preferred October trio, with May possibly providing stability, experience and multi-inning flexibility. Packers talk returns when USA Today projects the Bears as the NFC North champion and leaves Green Bay out of the playoffs, causing Kyle to rip the national-media logic for ignoring Jordan Love and overreacting to Micah Parsons, Tucker Kraft and Jordan Morgan concerns. Catastrophic hits Grown Ups 3, Akron’s fan offensive coordinator promotion, a Red Sox hair-loss ad, and Jahmyr Gibbs’ new deal before Bryan Bulaga explains why one-on-one camp reps are fun but 11-on-11 work is what really matters.

Ben and Kyle open Wednesday’s show with the Brewers’ Christian Yelich problem after Pat Murphy defended Yeli from fans starting to boo his struggles. Kyle says Yelich has earned more respect as a Brewers legend and argues fans should remember what he has meant to the franchise, while Ben says fans are allowed to react honestly to poor production. The guys debate how long Milwaukee can keep Yelich in the lineup as a designated hitter who is not hitting, especially with the Brewers chasing something bigger than another good regular season. Callers push the conversation further, questioning whether Yelich needs rest, a lower spot in the order or eventually a seat on the bench if the slump continues. The hour also touches on the Cubs staying close, whether Milwaukee has already played its best baseball, and Ben’s regret over buying a Pat Murphy jersey before Murphy changed numbers again.

Hour 2 shifts to Packers training camp, starting with Micah Parsons saying Green Bay’s defensive line needs to build finishing habits in practice even if Matt LaFleur does not want rushers near Jordan Love. Ben and Kyle love Micah’s edge and debate whether he can top 12.5 sacks despite starting the season injured and potentially missing several games. The guys also dig into Jordan Morgan versus Lucas Van Ness, asking whether Packers fans should rather see the left tackle stonewall LVN or see Van Ness dominate as Green Bay waits for Micah’s return. Kyle revisits his brief high school coaching career at Hope Christian, including a rough first season, players learning how to put on pads, and one receiver he still insists was cold. Tucker Kraft then takes center stage after saying outside noise has labeled him a tight end regression candidate, which leads Ben and Kyle to praise his edge, his red-zone value and his role as the emotional engine of the Packers offense.

The 414 Hour opens with Mina Kimes’ defense of Jordan Love, saying his turnover reputation is louder than the actual numbers and that both film and advanced stats point to him being a high-level quarterback. Kyle argues Love is underrated because Matt LaFleur has not let him throw enough, and he says this needs to be the season Green Bay finally liberates Love and lets the Packers win or lose with their quarterback. The guys compare Love’s MVP odds to the quarterbacks ahead of him, debate how the offense can use the pass to open up Josh Jacobs, and frame 2026 as a true prove-it season for Love. The show then swerves into a workplace study claiming 47 percent of people have “done the deed” at the office, leading to anonymous texts, C-Katt’s own story. Catastrophic covers fantasy football punishments, Justin Herbert and Madison Beer at Chargers camp, and whether a fake-ball golf round is a proper last-place penalty before Homer joins to question whether old photos of Kyle actually look like Kyle.

Ben and Kyle open Tuesday’s show still underwhelmed by the Brewers’ deadline after Tarik Skubal landed with the Dodgers instead of Milwaukee. They react to Pat Murphy and Matt Arnold defending the Brewers’ effort, while Ben admits he is trying to recalibrate expectations after dreaming bigger for the best team in baseball. The conversation shifts to whether the Brewers still have enough magic, swag and offense to get past Los Angeles, especially after another frustrating loss to the Pirates. Packers training camp then takes over with a heated debate about Matt LaFleur asking officials not to signal Trey Smack’s makes and misses in front of the media. Ben calls it soft and protective, while Kyle argues Green Bay has to support its rookie kicker and judge him when games actually begin. The hour also includes Alex Strouf’s camp updates on Matthew Golden, Christian Watson, Xavier McKinney, Jordan Morgan, Lucas Van Ness and Smack missing a 52-yard situational kick.

Hour 2 opens with Are You Smarter Than Ben Brust, where Ben edges out engineer Eli from Madison thanks to questions about Planters, Sacagawea, Rawlings and the Connecticut Sun. The Packers conversation continues with Micah Parsons discussing Week 6 as a realistic but not guaranteed target for his return from knee surgery. Ben and Kyle explain why even a limited Parsons changes everything for Green Bay’s defense, from pass-rush attention to late-game disruption. The Brewers discussion shifts to Christian Yelich, with Pat Murphy initially moving him down to seventh in the lineup before Jake Bauers’ scratch pushes him back up. The guys debate how long Milwaukee can keep searching for Yelich’s spot in the order, why the Brewers still need their current bats to heat up, and whether Bryce Turang can rediscover another August power surge. The hour closes with Ben celebrating a surprise Culver’s Badgers package offer and Kyle trying to include the whole K&B family in the benefits.
