Kyle & Brust

The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust is live from Maddie's Bar and Grill as the Brewers sit one win away from their first World Series appearance since 1982. Ben is convinced the Dodgers are mentally broken after Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell's back-to-back home runs in Game 3, while Kyle believes Los Angeles still has enough talent to fight back. The guys debate whether Milwaukee can finish the sweep with Shane Drohan starting Game 4 and how Pat Murphy should manage his bullpen.

Then, is it finally time for Brewers fans to start talking about the World Series? The guys discuss Milwaukee's incredible postseason confidence, potential matchups with the Rays or Guardians and why the Dodgers have struggled to find answers against the Brewers. Plus, Will questions whether Pat Murphy has completely outmanaged Dave Roberts as Los Angeles continues searching for a winning formula.

And the show takes a hilarious turn when Ben reveals he's already teaching his young daughter the entire Brewers roster, sparking a debate about whether parents should force their kids to root for their favorite teams. With the Dodgers facing elimination and Milwaukee's confidence soaring, the guys are ready to find out whether the Brewers can finish the job tonight.

The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust is live from Matty's Bar and Grill as the Brewers prepare for Game 4 with a chance to sweep the Dodgers and reach their first World Series since 1982. Ben and Kyle hear from Brewers fans about their playoff superstitions, watch party plans and what a trip to the World Series would mean for Milwaukee. Plus, the guys react to the Game 4 lineup and debate whether David Hamilton can create more chaos on the basepaths.

Then, Willingly Useless returns as Will questions whether sweeping the Dodgers could actually hurt the Brewers because of too much rest. The guys also discuss plummeting ticket prices at Dodger Stadium, Sal Frelick's comments about Milwaukee's clubhouse chemistry and the possibility of expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams.

Finally, Brian Bulaga joins the show to explain why he's loving the Brewers' postseason run despite not being a diehard baseball fan. That sparks a hilarious argument with Homer about Brice Turang's greatness before Bulaga turns his attention to the Packers. He believes Green Bay can exploit Dallas' struggling defense but isn't convinced the blowout win over Chicago means all of the Packers' problems are fixed.

The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust is filled with confidence as Ben Brust officially declares the Brewers are going to the World Series. With Milwaukee holding a 2-0 NLCS lead over the Dodgers, Ben and Kyle explain why this team is different from last year's squad and why they expect the Brewers to keep finding ways to win. The guys debate whether Milwaukee can complete the sweep, how Robert Gasser matches up against Blake Snell and whether Andrew Vaughn should start over Christian Yelich in Game 3.

Then, are the Packers finally ready to prove they're legitimate contenders? After demolishing the Bears, Kyle calls Sunday's matchup with Dallas a "back-it-up game" rather than a must-win. The guys discuss why Green Bay needs to build on its offensive improvements and whether Matt LaFleur can keep the momentum rolling.

Plus, Matt Lepay joins the show to discuss the Brewers' championship potential and Wisconsin's upcoming matchup with UCLA. Lepay explains why a Badgers upset would be another major step forward for Luke Fickell's program and what Wisconsin's defense must do to slow down UCLA's rushing attack.

The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust welcomes Michelle Smallmon from ESPN Radio's Unsportsmanlike to discuss whether the Packers are finally back after dominating the Bears. Michelle believes Green Bay has the talent to make the playoffs but warns Sunday's performance could be fool's gold if the offensive line doesn't continue improving. The guys also discuss Micah Parsons' potential return and why Sunday's matchup with Dallas is another major test for Matt LaFleur.

Then, are there any reasons to worry about the Brewers heading into NLCS Game 3? Ben and Kyle struggle to find weaknesses in a team that keeps finding ways to win, but Will points to Milwaukee's defensive mistakes, the Dodgers' dangerous lineup and the possibility of bullpen fatigue. Plus, the guys debate whether Blake Snell can slow down Milwaukee's offense and react to the outrageous prices for potential World Series tickets.

Finally, Kyle's infamous mouse saga reaches its ridiculous conclusion. After weeks of wondering whether he hallucinated a rodent following a Packers loss, Kyle discovers a dead mouse behind his dryer and launches a full-scale cleanup operation. Armed with gloves, a mask and plenty of paranoia about hantavirus, Kyle proudly declares victory over the unwanted visitor while Ben questions whether any of this required hiring an exterminator.

The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust gets ready for Brewers-Dodgers Game 3 as Milwaukee looks to take a commanding 3-0 NLCS lead. Kyle and Ben react to Blake Snell's comments about the Brewers' mentality and debate whether Los Angeles is already feeling the pressure. With Gary Sánchez's impressive career numbers against Snell and Shohei Ohtani dropping to sixth in the Dodgers lineup, the guys believe Milwaukee has a real opportunity to deliver another devastating blow.

Then, Willingly Useless returns as Will reveals the surprisingly cheap ticket prices at Dodger Stadium, sparking a debate about whether Los Angeles fans have already given up. The guys also discuss leaked college football locker room speeches, whether adults should give foul balls to kids and the Brewers' growing presence among World Series MVP favorites.

Finally, Homer joins the show to explain why the Brewers' greatest strength is their ability to wear opponents down. From Jake Bauers' marathon at-bat against Yoshinobu Yamamoto to Milwaukee's incredible outfield defense, the guys break down how Pat Murphy's team keeps making life miserable for opposing pitchers. Plus, Homer shares his confidence in Robert Gasser ahead of Game 3 and explains why this Brewers team is built to finish the job.

The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust is live from Sendik's in Whitefish Bay celebrating National Pizza Month with Palermo's, and the guys are absolutely fired up after the Brewers took a commanding 2-0 NLCS lead over the Dodgers with a 7-4 Game 2 victory. Kyle Wallace and Ben Brust explain why Milwaukee's relentless approach, timely hitting and historically dominant bullpen have completely changed the feel of this postseason run. After five perfect innings from the bullpen and another comeback victory, the guys ask the K&B Fam to hand out some well-deserved praise to the players making October special.

Jake Bauers and David Hamilton headline the celebration after delivering two of the biggest performances of Game 2. Ben praises Bauers for his incredible 12-pitch battle against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, while Kyle highlights Hamilton's three runs scored, two stolen bases and ability to wreak havoc on the basepaths. Christian Yelich, William Contreras and Aaron Ashby also receive plenty of love as the Brewers continue finding different heroes every night. Even Will gets involved, thanking Dave Roberts for intentionally walking Brice Turang to face Contreras, who promptly delivered another clutch hit.

Then Packers legend Mark Tauscher joins the show after becoming an unexpected star of Game 2 by leading American Family Field in a massive "Bears Still Suck" chant. Tausch explains why Chicago fans can't complain about the trash talk after everything they said leading into Sunday's blowout loss. He also weighs in on whether the Packers' dominant performance can become a turning point for the season, cautioning that Green Bay still has significant offensive limitations despite finally looking like a legitimate contender against Chicago.

Tausch also gives Christian Yelich his flowers, explaining why the Brewers captain deserves enormous credit for overcoming criticism and delivering when Milwaukee needs him most. The guys debate whether Yelich has already earned a statue outside American Family Field and whether this Brewers team could create a championship legacy comparable to the 1996 Packers. Plus, Ben wonders whether Milwaukee beating the Dodgers could resemble Wisconsin basketball's unforgettable victory over undefeated Kentucky in 2015, and Tausch explains why this Brewers team has something special: every player genuinely believes someone else will step up when the moment arrives.

The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust is live from Sendik's in Whitefish Bay celebrating National Pizza Month with Palermo's, and the show kicks off with another edition of Are You Smarter Than Ben Brust? Ben takes on Ray from Milwaukee in a trivia showdown featuring everything from Broadway musicals and Pac-Man to classic literature and geography. Despite confusing Nike with ESPN and struggling to remember which state has the longest coastline, Ben manages to pull out another victory, much to Kyle's disbelief.

Then the guys ask the biggest question following Green Bay's 31-7 demolition of the Chicago Bears: are the Packers actually back, or was Sunday fool's gold? Kyle believes the offensive line's improvement has completely transformed the team and declares Green Bay a legitimate Super Bowl contender again. Ben isn't buying it just yet, arguing that one dominant performance against a Bears team missing Caleb Williams doesn't erase the Packers' inconsistency, injuries or concerns about Matt LaFleur. With Dallas and Detroit looming, Ben wants to see Green Bay prove it can sustain this level of play before declaring the season officially saved.

The conversation takes a hilarious turn when Ben digs up one of Jesse Nelson's worst Brewers predictions. Earlier this season, Jesse questioned whether Milwaukee's bullpen was dependable enough to survive October, specifically expressing concerns about Trevor Megill and Abner Uribe. Now, with the Brewers holding a 2-0 NLCS lead and their bullpen coming off five perfect innings against Los Angeles, Ben and Kyle have plenty of fun revisiting the take. The guys also roast Jesse for previously questioning Pat Murphy and suggesting he'd rather see Milwaukee lose in the NLCS than reach the World Series and lose.

Finally, Kyle Wallace goes hunting for ESPN Chicago's David Kaplan after the Packers silenced the Bears at Lambeau. Kaplan spent weeks talking trash and even sent ESPN Wisconsin 59 burgers after Chicago's explosive Week 1 performance. But after Green Bay's blowout win, Kyle says Kaplan has suddenly disappeared and plays the unanswered voicemail he left for his Chicago counterpart. Plus, the guys react to Zaire Franklin calling out Luther Burden for talking about making the Packers quit, only for Chicago to get thoroughly embarrassed on Sunday. Kyle has one message for Bears fans everywhere: the Bears still suck!

The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust is live from Sendik's in Whitefish Bay celebrating National Pizza Month with Palermo's, and Kyle Wallace is officially launching Jordan Love's MVP campaign. After Love torched the Bears for 367 yards in Sunday's 31-7 victory, Kyle takes issue with Stephen A. Smith questioning whether Green Bay's quarterback can deliver in the biggest moments. Kyle argues Love has repeatedly stepped up when it matters, including in the playoffs, and believes the Packers' improved offensive line could unlock an MVP-caliber season. Ben Brust isn't quite ready to go that far, especially with Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy in the conversation.

The guys also revisit Green Bay's Super Bowl aspirations and why Kyle's confidence has completely changed in just a few weeks. Kyle believes the Packers' decision to bring in veteran offensive linemen has transformed the offense, and he's banking on the eventual returns of Josh Jacobs and Micah Parsons to make Green Bay a legitimate championship contender. Ben questions whether one dominant performance is enough to erase the team's early-season problems, while both wonder why the NFL still hasn't announced a resolution regarding Jacobs' status.

Then Willingly Useless takes over as Will finally gets a response from ESPN Chicago's David Kaplan after Kyle's unanswered victory voicemail. Kaplan claims he never heard the message because he has 75 unlistened voicemails and was busy hiking with his dog, which only gives Kyle more ammunition to celebrate Chicago's embarrassing loss. The guys also react to Jerry Jones telling an absolutely bizarre story about a Packers fan pressing her bare backside against his car window after a Cowboys victory in Green Bay, leading to questions about whether Jerry's timeline even makes sense.

Finally, Homer joins the show and gets dragged into a heated argument with Kyle about the dangers of roller coasters. After hearing about a recent fatal accident, Kyle insists his fear of roller coasters is completely justified, while Homer argues everyday activities like showering or eating candy carry greater risks. The debate spirals into questionable statistics before returning to the Brewers' 2-0 NLCS lead over Los Angeles. Kyle and Ben believe Milwaukee can finish the series without returning home, while Homer questions MLB's postseason scheduling format and explains why the Brewers need to take advantage of a struggling Shohei Ohtani to finally finish the job.

The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust celebrates one of the greatest Wisconsin sports Sundays in recent memory after the Packers demolished the Bears 31-7 and the Brewers took Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers. Kyle Wallace is absolutely fired up after watching Green Bay silence Chicago following an offseason full of trash talk, while Ben Brust believes Milwaukee's postseason victory carries even greater significance. The guys debate which win was more satisfying: embarrassing the Bears at Lambeau or finally beating Los Angeles in October after last year's NLCS sweep.

Then it's time to give Matt LaFleur some serious credit. Even Ben, who has been one of LaFleur's harshest critics, admits the Packers coach finally delivered the aggressive, relentless offensive approach he's been begging to see. Jordan Love was unleashed, Christian Watson made spectacular plays downfield and the revamped offensive line finally gave Green Bay's offense a chance to operate. Kyle believes the Packers have officially shown what they're capable of, but the challenge now becomes bringing that same intensity and execution every single week.

The celebration isn't limited to football. Milwaukee's bullpen delivered another incredible postseason performance, overcoming a short outing from Jacob Misiorowski to secure a massive Game 1 victory. The guys explain why this year's Brewers feel different from the team that was swept by Los Angeles last October, with Pat Murphy's leadership, improved postseason experience and a relentless bullpen giving Milwaukee legitimate championship confidence. But with Yoshinobu Yamamoto awaiting in Game 2, the Brewers still need better production with runners in scoring position and another strong performance from Logan Henderson.

Plus, the K&B Fam celebrates the Packers' dominant win while Kyle enjoys the sudden silence coming from Chicago sports fans. The guys revisit the heated Matt LaFleur-Ben Johnson rivalry, debate whether Green Bay has officially turned its season around and discuss the latest injury setback after Javon Hargrave suffered an Achilles injury. With the Brewers just three wins away from the World Series and the Packers finally looking like themselves, Kyle is ready to declare that Wisconsin sports are BACK.

The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust is counting down to Brewers-Dodgers Game 2 of the NLCS, with Milwaukee holding a 1-0 series lead and Logan Henderson preparing to face Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Ben Brust believes the Brewers have finally developed the postseason confidence they lacked last October, but says their offense must start capitalizing with runners in scoring position. Kyle Wallace believes Milwaukee can wear down Yamamoto with patient at-bats, drive up his pitch count and force Los Angeles into its bullpen. After surviving Tarik Skubal in Game 1, the guys believe another victory could put the Dodgers in serious trouble.

Then the Jordan Love Train officially returns as a caller declares Green Bay's quarterback ready to lead the Packers back to the Super Bowl. After Love's dominant performance against Chicago, the K&B Fam is suddenly dreaming big again. Kyle and Ben explain why the improved offensive line has completely changed Green Bay's outlook and debate whether the Packers can build on Sunday's blowout victory. Meanwhile, Bears fans have mysteriously disappeared from the conversation, and Kyle is enjoying every second of their silence.

The show takes a hilarious detour when Ben's questionable personal hygiene habits from college and the pandemic resurface. Kyle can't believe Ben once prioritized playing Call of Duty over showering and brushing his teeth, while Ben insists those were simply different times. The guys also revisit Ben's infamous habit of leaving baseball games early, with Will reminding everyone that real baseball fans actually stay until the final out.

Plus, Josh DiMaggio joins the show and accidentally ignites a full-blown argument about whether Ben looks like Aaron Ashby. That leads to Ben defending his receding hairline, Kyle claiming a bad haircut can permanently change someone's hair and an even more ridiculous debate about dinosaur fossils. Eventually, the guys return to baseball and explain why beating Yamamoto would represent another enormous psychological breakthrough for Milwaukee before transitioning into their LIVE Game 2 Brewers watchalong.
