The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust features Alex Strouf filling in for Kyle Wallace as the guys react to the Brewers taking two straight from the Cubs and building a nine-game lead in the NL Central. Ben and Strouf declare the division race essentially over, enjoy another successful Craig Counsell hate-watch, and debate just how much better Milwaukee has become under Pat Murphy. Plus, after Jacob Misiorowski struggled but the Brewers still won 9-5, should there be any concern about the Cy Young favorite heading toward October?

Plus, is Pat Murphy almost too good to win a third straight Manager of the Year award?

The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust has Alex Strouf filling in for Kyle Wallace as Ben and Strouf debate just how good the Packers’ revamped receiving corps can be. With Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks gone, could “less is more” for Green Bay? The guys break down expectations for Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft, and explain why Josh Jacobs’ uncertain status could finally force Matt LaFleur to make this Jordan Love’s offense.

Jason Wilde joins the show and says he’s ready to stop talking about hypotheticals and finally see the Packers play. Wilde breaks down why Green Bay somehow leaves training camp with even more offensive line questions than it entered with, and why asking Love to drop back 45 times against Brian Flores may not be the answer in Week 1. Plus, Strouf tells the story of losing hundreds of dollars chasing the Wheel of Fortune machine during a disastrous night in Las Vegas.

With Wisconsin’s November 3 general election just two months away, election integrity is back in the spotlight after voting and ballot-processing mistakes in Milwaukee, Green Bay and Madison.

Adam Roberts and Neil Doyle examine what happened during Milwaukee’s August primary, when problems involving flash drives delayed election results by about an hour. While officials say there is no evidence votes were counted incorrectly, the incident has drawn scrutiny from the Wisconsin Elections Commission and renewed questions about how election officials prevent mistakes from undermining public trust.

Adam and Neil also discuss duplicate absentee ballots mistakenly mailed to some Green Bay voters during two elections, the previous discovery of nearly 200 uncounted absentee ballots in Madison and the steps election officials say they're taking before November.

Plus, should Jordan Love become a more vocal leader, and will LaFleur actually unleash his quarterback without Josh Jacobs? The guys also discuss concerns about Green Bay’s backup quarterback situation before Bryan Bulaga joins the show and explains why this pre-Week 1 waiting period is brutal for players and fans alike. Bulaga also makes it clear he wants no part of the Packers rotating offensive linemen once the regular season begins.
