Kyle & Brust

Ben and Kyle open Wednesday’s show with Packers training camp underway and Matt LaFleur saying he is as excited about this team as any he has coached in Green Bay. That launches a debate over whether this is the best roster of the Jordan Love-LaFleur era, with Kyle buying in because of the offensive weapons, defensive additions and young players who have already arrived. The guys frame 2026 as a put-up-or-shut-up season for Love, LaFleur, Brian Gutekunst and the Packers core after three straight seventh-seed finishes. They also ask the K&B family to name the Packers season, leading to ideas like “Reclaim the North,” “Love in the Air,” and Kyle’s favorite, the “BTA season.” The hour also includes C-Katt trying his first Wisconsin State Fair cream puff, reaction to Keyshawn Nixon’s hamstring injury, and the start of live training camp updates from Alex Strouf.

Hour 2 begins with Alex Strouf’s Packers training camp report, including Jordan Love finding Christian Watson, Marshawn Lloyd showing burst, Love flashing a read-option look, and Brandon Cissé blowing up a bubble screen. Kyle reacts exactly like training camp has returned, buying into every positive sign and already picturing the offense carrying the Packers while Micah Parsons is out. The Brewers trade-deadline conversation then heats up with Tarik Skubal getting a standing ovation in Detroit and Jim Bowden calling Milwaukee the most likely landing spot. Kyle still worries about paying a rental price that could cost prospects like Luis Peña, Andrew Fisher or Tyler Harden, while Ben argues keeping Skubal away from the Dodgers has value too. The hour also spirals into Kyle’s Packers shareholder identity, his dream of buying a championship shareholder ring, and a long debate over C-Katt’s golf spending versus future engagement-ring expectations.

The 414 Hour opens with Ben comparing Logan Henderson’s numbers to Kyle Harrison’s season, which leads into another Brewers deadline debate over whether Matt Arnold can really lose no matter what he does. Kyle says Milwaukee’s young pitching and prospect wave give the Brewers a bright future, but he still wants a big bat more than an all-in rental starter like Tarik Skubal. The guys weigh whether going all-in is worth it without a World Series appearance, while also acknowledging that the Brewers are already 27 games over .500 and built to compete right now. Packers training camp talk returns with Kyle predicting Lucas Van Ness will become the camp darling and finally deliver a healthier, more productive season. Catastrophic features C-Katt complaining about babies at an 8 p.m. showing of Toy Story 5 before Homer joins to argue with Ben and Kyle about Badgers football, Luke Fickell, Wisconsin’s NIL money and whether the program’s real problem is coaching or resources.

Ben and Kyle open Tuesday’s show with Micah Parsons starting Packers camp on the PUP list and debate what Green Bay’s record needs to be if he misses roughly the first six games. Kyle says he would be grudgingly satisfied with 3-3, but still expects the Packers to aim higher because the early quarterback schedule is manageable and the offense should carry more responsibility. The Brewers conversation shifts to Jeff Passan’s report about a potential Freddy Peralta reunion, with Kyle calling it a low-risk move that could make sense if the price has dropped. The guys also revisit Jesse Nelson’s old Pat Murphy take, laugh about Joe in Madison tweeting at him after Brewers losses, and debate whether Lambeau Field should ever sell naming rights. The hour closes with Ben floating Kyle as a potential babysitter, which quickly turns into chaos as Kyle explains why his wife would need to be involved and why he is better suited for playtime than solo toddler duty.

Are You Smarter Than Ben Brust continues with Marquan in Milwaukee beating Ben 8-7, leading to more laughter over Ben’s missed answers and a wild detour into moon-landing doubts and dinosaur questions. The guys then return to Ed Policy’s confidence in Matt LaFleur, Brian Gutekunst and Russ Ball, with Kyle arguing the Packers were right to keep stability while still needing real postseason progress soon. Luke Fickell’s Big Ten Media Days comments close the hour, as Ben admits the Badgers coach is pulling him back in with talk of leadership, toughness and a renewed Wisconsin identity.

The 4-1-4 Hour starts with Ben and Kyle asking how far the Brewers’ current playoff rotation could go if Milwaukee does not add another starter at the trade deadline. Kyle believes Jacob Misiorowski, Kyle Harrison, Shane Drohan and Logan Henderson could get the Brewers to an NLCS, but not necessarily past the Dodgers or another elite National League lineup. The guys revisit Freddy Peralta as a possible reunion target and debate whether Milwaukee should overpay for Tarik Skubal if the Dodgers also get aggressive. The hour then shifts to Giannis Antetokounmpo reacting to goodbye messages from Bucks fans after his move to Miami, with Kyle thanking him for choosing Milwaukee repeatedly and delivering the 2021 championship. Catastrophic features C-Katt taking on Dan Orlovsky’s anti-pedicure take, HBO Max chasing short-form content, and the generational attention-span gap before Homer joins to react to Aaron Rodgers saying his wife gave him permission for one more season.

Ben and Kyle open Monday reacting to another ridiculous Jacob Misiorowski start, with the Miz striking out the Rockies early and calming any concerns about his velocity dip. The guys discuss how his dominance changes the Brewers’ trade-deadline outlook and whether Milwaukee’s best World Series chance is right now or over the next three years. Kyle argues the Brewers’ prospect wave, including Cooper Pratt, Luis Lara, Andrew Fisher and Jesús Made, makes the future even more exciting than the present. Ben pushes back that a season like Miz is having cannot be wasted, especially with Milwaukee right near the Dodgers in the standings. The hour also includes Dan Orlovsky picking the Packers in the NFC North, a debate over Green Bay’s offensive responsibility while Micah Parsons is out, and a strange but passionate discussion about whether lettuce is safe to eat.

Hour 2 begins with Davante Adams explaining why he blocked out the Packers’ final contract push before leaving Green Bay, sparking a debate over whether Adams would still be the best receiver on the current roster. Kyle argues Adams’ red-zone production and reliability would still matter, while Ben says Christian Watson’s upside and current role make the comparison more complicated. Jason Wilde joins to discuss the Packers’ biggest concerns entering camp, pointing to offensive line, cornerback and edge depth without putting them in a strict order. Wilde weighs in on Jordan Morgan, Lucas Van Ness, Keisean Nixon, Zach Tom’s health and why Green Bay’s offensive line could determine everything else. The hour closes with reaction to Luke Fickell’s “tough, nasty and disciplined” vision for Badgers football, with Ben and Kyle cautiously buying back into the idea that Wisconsin can at least show more pride this season.

The 414 Hour opens with Ben and Kyle turning Matt Arnold’s “responsible” Brewers trade-deadline comments into a full debate about Milwaukee’s approach and Kyle’s own frugal household habits. Kyle loves Arnold’s discipline and one-eye-on-the-present, one-eye-on-the-future mentality, while Ben keeps pushing for the Brewers to shrink the gap on the Dodgers. The hour mixes in plenty of home-life comedy, from KitchenAid and ice-cream-maker purchases to Kyle wondering how long he has to keep paying for meals with his father-in-law after wedding help. Catastrophic features C-Katt bringing a study about farting in relationships before admitting he sent his girlfriend to pick up a Facebook Marketplace golf travel bag at a stranger’s house. Brian Bulaga joins late to compare Davante Adams, Jordy Nelson and Christian Watson before focusing on Anthony Belton’s pass protection and what he needs to show on the Packers offensive line.

With Ben out and Josh DiMaggio in as the cousin sub, Kyle opens the show by calling out C-Katt for a rough start before turning to the Brewers’ trade deadline. The guys react to Adam McCalvy’s report that Milwaukee plans to be aggressive and debate whether the Brewers are zero, one, or multiple moves away from being a true World Series contender. Josh argues the Brewers need pitching help, while Kyle keeps pushing for a bat and weighs which prospects should be untouchable, including Andrew Fisher, Jesús Made and Luis Peña. Nigel “T-Plush” Morgan joins the Yuengling Legends Line to talk Brewers chemistry, why adding the wrong player can hurt a clubhouse, and why Milwaukee may need to bring up Made rather than waiting. T-Plush also revisits his 2011 playoff walk-off, says pitching and defense win in October, and tells the Brewers not to be scared at the deadline because “scared money don’t make money.”
