  • 2PM: “Meet Expectations” Packers Debate + Jim Rutledge Gets Roasted
    Jan 6 2026
    KBN opens with Kyle being forced to “put respect” on the Packers while the guys argue playoff bracket logic and how wide open the NFL feels this year. The conversation shifts into a big-picture Packers debate after Evan Cohen’s “meet expectations” comment — are the Packers just pros at being “in the mix,” and what does that say about Matt LaFleur, Jordan Love, and Gutey? Later, the guys react to (and clown) Bears fan Jim Rutledge for complaining about the Packers/Bears rivalry, then take a handful of calls from KBN Nation with fans weighing in on whether Green Bay can actually make a run.

  • 4PM: Ben’s Casino Dream + “Where Are The Packers’ Badasses?”
    Jan 6 2026
    The 414 Hour starts with Ben telling a wild Potawatomi dream story (a $600K jackpot next to him… then his $30K “win”), which spirals into real-life casino chaos, babysitter strategy, and Stroph cashing out hypothetical winnings. From there, KBN Nation calls in with playoff nerves and a heated convo breaks out about the Packers’ toughness — who’s the last true “badass,” and why doesn’t the O-line protect Jordan Love after big hits? The hour wraps with “Professor Big Daddy JA” (John Anderson) joining to lay out his skepticism about a deep run, what a “bionic” version of the Packers would look like, and where the blame falls if Green Bay can’t put together a full, complete game.

Jason Wilde joins to weigh in on the stakes for the Love/LaFleur era, the locker room’s “experienced but immature” vibe, and where blame should land for roster and coaching issues.
