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.

3PM: Packers Are SUPER BOWL Contenders Again?! & Kyle Goes After Chicago's Biggest Trash Talker
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!

4PM: Jordan Love for MVP?! & Brewers Have the Dodgers on the Brink of ELIMINATION!
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.

2PM: Packers HUMILIATE the Bears & Brewers Take REVENGE on the Dodgers!
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.

3PM: Brewers Have the Dodgers on the ROPES & Jordan Love's SUPER BOWL Train Is 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.

2PM: Packers Season on the BRINK & Brewers Have a Score to Settle With the Dodgers
The 2PM hour of Kyle & Brust features Alex Strouf filling in for Ben Brust alongside Kyle Wallace ahead of an absolutely massive Wisconsin sports Sunday. With Packers-Bears at noon and Brewers-Dodgers Game 1 of the NLCS Sunday night, the guys debate which team needs a victory more. Kyle believes Green Bay's season is essentially over with a loss to Chicago, while Strouf argues Milwaukee has far more at stake against the defending World Series champions. Plus, Caleb Williams' surprise upgrade to questionable creates some last-minute uncertainty about who the Packers will face at Lambeau. The K&B Fam weighs in, with callers arguing that the Brewers absolutely cannot afford another slow start against Los Angeles after being swept in last year's NLCS. One fan even suggests Milwaukee should return the favor and sweep the Dodgers this time around. Strouf admits that possibility hadn't crossed his mind, while Kyle loves the confidence and believes this Brewers team has earned the right to dream big. The guys also remember legendary Bears coach Mike Ditka and his enormous impact on the Packers-Bears rivalry. Then the focus shifts to Jacob Misiorowski versus Tarik Skubal in Game 1. Strouf believes every Miz start is a must-win opportunity, especially against a Dodgers rotation featuring Skubal, Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Kyle has more confidence in Milwaukee's pitching depth after strong performances from Logan Henderson and Robert Gasser, but says the real concern is whether the Brewers can finally capitalize with runners in scoring position. With 37 runners left on base against San Diego, Green Bay's baseball neighbors can't afford to waste those opportunities against Los Angeles. Plus, the guys explain why Pat Murphy's confidence in Garrett Mitchell and Jake Bauers could be the difference in October, and why this year's Brewers are better equipped to challenge the Dodgers than last year's team. Finally, Strouf is forced to revisit his infamous NFL Combine performance after promising to become a "physical specimen" by next year. Seven months later, the workout plan has fallen apart, Kyle is questioning everybody's finances and Strouf's athletic redemption tour is looking increasingly unlikely.

3PM: Packers-Bears Could CHANGE EVERYTHING & Micah Parsons Hints at His Return
The 3PM hour of Kyle & Brust features Alex Strouf filling in for Ben Brust alongside Kyle Wallace as the guys answer five burning questions ahead of Packers-Bears at Lambeau Field. Will puts them on the spot about whether Matt LaFleur or Ben Johnson will dominate Monday's headlines, whether Green Bay's offensive line can survive Chicago's defense and whether Jordan Love will be the best player on the field. Kyle believes a win could completely change the conversation surrounding the Packers, while Strouf remains skeptical that one victory can erase a month of offensive struggles. Then Micah Parsons sparks speculation about his return with a pair of social media posts, including "One week closer." While Parsons has yet to return to practice, Kyle believes November remains the realistic target and argues Green Bay shouldn't rush its star pass rusher back from his ACL injury. With Edgerrin Cooper already lost for the season, the guys debate who can step up defensively and whether Evan Williams and Javon Bullard can help Jonathan Gannon manufacture pressure without two of his biggest playmakers. Plus, Guess Who returns with some of Kyle Wallace's most ridiculous moments of the week. From demanding fluoride at the dentist to comparing the Packers to Oscar the Grouch climbing out of a trash can, Kyle attempts to remember his own words with predictably chaotic results. Will also brings back Kyle's infamous Winnie the Pooh sleeping habits, his unwavering demands for Matt LaFleur and an especially memorable conversation about the Brewers needing more swagger. Finally, the guys revisit the energy surrounding Packers-Bears after Green Bay's locker room starts firing back at Chicago. Javon Bullard, Evan Williams and Tucker Kraft have made it clear the rivalry still matters, and Kyle believes that attitude is exactly what the Packers need after their disappointing start. Strouf wonders whether the sudden intensity is genuine or a sign that Green Bay realizes it is no longer the unquestioned big brother in the rivalry.

4PM: Packers-Bears Rivalry HEATS UP & Is Jordan Love Ready to FINALLY Break Out?
The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust features Alex Strouf filling in for Ben Brust as Torrey Lowe joins the show ahead of Packers-Bears at Lambeau Field. Torrey believes Chicago fans have gotten a little too comfortable after their recent success and says one good season doesn't erase decades of Green Bay dominance. Despite the Packers' ugly 2-2 start, Torrey and Kyle believe the offensive line is finally showing signs of improvement and Sunday could be the game that gets Green Bay back on track. They also debate whether Jordan Love needs to use his legs more often to overcome the offense's continued struggles. Then it's time for Green Bay Props & Preview, with Will putting Kyle and Strouf through the biggest betting questions surrounding Sunday's rivalry matchup. With the Packers moving from 2.5-point underdogs to just one-point underdogs, the guys debate whether Jordan Love will surpass 241.5 passing yards, whether Tucker Kraft finally delivers a breakout performance and whether Green Bay can score more than 22 points for the first time this season. The biggest concern remains Chicago's rushing attack, especially with Edgerrin Cooper unavailable and DeAndre Swift threatening to exploit Green Bay's struggling run defense. Willingly Useless takes the show completely off the rails with a debate over whether adults should give foul balls to kids. Kyle and Will believe catching a baseball is a memory worth keeping, while Strouf thinks the right move is handing it to a younger fan. That somehow turns into Drake Maye questioning the moon landing, a discussion about space exploration and the surprising amount of money an MLB mascot could make. Finally, Homer joins the show and immediately gets dragged into the moon-landing debate before remembering legendary Bears coach Mike Ditka. Homer explains why Ditka was one of the NFL's truly larger-than-life personalities and recalls the legendary hatred between Ditka and former Packers coach Forrest Gregg. According to Homer, today's Packers-Bears rivalry doesn't come close to the intensity those two coaches brought to the field
