  Hour 1: CKatt’s Exit and Packers Hype Fights

  Aug 18, 202647 min

  Ben and Kyle open Tuesday’s show still unloading on CKatt after he revealed he is leaving ESPN Wisconsin for ESPN Chicago and admitted he roots against the Packers. The guys accuse him of hiding his true feelings from the K&B family, while callers and texters pile on with goodbye messages for the “snake” in the producer chair. Packers disrespect returns when Unsportsmanlike calls Green Bay overhyped, leading Kyle and Ben to push back on the idea that Jordan Love, Matt LaFleur and the Packers are getting too much national love. They argue the offensive line is the real concern, but the defense, healthy weapons and eventual return of Micah Parsons make Green Bay a much different team than the one that faded late last season. Mark Tauscher joins to dismiss the overhyped label, explain that training-camp competition is just NFL business, and call for an end to the “I’m not saying, but I’m saying” hedge across ESPN Wisconsin.

  Hour 2: Props, Stamps and Packers Pass Targets

  Aug 18, 202641 min

  Hour 2 begins with Chad in Fitchburg beating Ben in Are You Smarter Than Ben Brust, thanks in part to questions about Mark Twain, Aerosmith, Baby Shark, Istanbul, stamps and CKatt’s short stay with Kyle and Brust. The guys then turn to Green Bay Props and Preview, breaking down Jordan Love’s passing total and where the yards could go among Tucker Kraft, Christian Watson, Matthew Golden and Jayden Reed. Kyle likes the idea of Love throwing more and believes Golden, Kraft and Watson can all clear their numbers, while Ben sees Jayden Reed’s lower total as the safest value. The conversation also hits Rashan Gary’s sack total, Brandon Cissé’s Defensive Rookie of the Year odds and whether the Packers’ wide receiver room is being undervalued because no single target is projected like a true No. 1. Later, Ben and Kyle react to Mark DeRosa calling Jake Bauers Milwaukee’s offensive MVP, debating whether Bauers’ consistency is a great story or a warning sign for the Brewers if William Contreras, Bryce Turang, Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich do not heat up before October.

  Hour 3: Brewers Belief and Zaire’s Edge

  Aug 18, 202643 min

  The 414 Hour opens with Ben and Kyle measuring how confident they are that the Brewers could beat the Dodgers in a postseason series after Milwaukee’s strong weekend in Los Angeles. Kyle lands around 37.5 percent in an NLCS matchup because the Dodgers still have more talent and playoff pedigree, while Ben’s head says 45 percent but his heart wants to push much higher. The guys debate whether Milwaukee’s young pitching, Jake Bauers’ bat and the Brewers’ team identity can overcome the lack of proven October power against teams like the Dodgers. Zaire Franklin then fires Kyle up with comments about his ultra-competitive mentality, leading to a full defense of why Franklin, Edgerrin Cooper, Micah Parsons, Xavier McKinney and Jeffery Simmons give Green Bay a tougher defensive edge. Catastrophic covers Packers fans ranking third in a Nielsen study, stadium etiquette, CKatt’s latest DMV failure, American Family Field’s staying power, Instagram Reels from parents, and final props on Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft before the Homer Hour.

  Hour 1: Nixon Drama and LaFleur Mood Swings

  Aug 17, 202646 min

  Ben and Kyle open Monday’s show with Keisean Nixon saying he feels like he is being “punished” as the Packers continue rotating him through different roles at cornerback and special teams. Kyle says Nixon is not being punished, he is being held accountable for poor tackling effort and inconsistent play, while Ben worries Green Bay still needs him because the cornerback room does not have many proven options. Gary Ellerson’s defense of Nixon sparks a bigger debate over whether Packers fans should rally behind him or demand more from a veteran who wants to be paid. The guys then turn to Matt LaFleur, with Kyle wondering whether the coach is acting differently after his extension by taking public shots at Aaron Banks, challenging Nixon and kicking Baron Sorrell out of practice. The hour closes with Jesse Nelson getting roasted for predicting Wisconsin can beat Notre Dame, mostly because his reasoning centers on timing, prime time and new Notre Dame players instead of actual Badgers football evidence.

  Hour 2: Tucker’s Risk and CKatt’s Betrayal

  Aug 17, 202642 min

  Hour 2 starts with Tucker Kraft explaining why he continues practicing through contract risk, saying he is thinking about the team and the violent reality of football rather than protecting himself. That conversation gets hijacked when CKatt messes up, leading to the on-air reveal that he is leaving ESPN Wisconsin for ESPN Chicago. Ben and Kyle unload on CKatt after he admits he roots against the Packers and wants the Bears to beat Green Bay, with callers and texters joining in to brand him a traitor. Jason Wilde joins to explain why Kraft is taking a real risk by practicing before a new deal, even though he believes the Packers and Kraft’s side are negotiating and could still get something done before the season. Wilde also gives a fuller picture of Keisean Nixon’s comments, saying fans may be too quick to focus only on the “punished” line while ignoring the rest of what Nixon said about competing wherever the Packers put him.
