    On the final live KBN of 2025, Ben Brust hosts solo… until “Cousin Sub” Jesse Nelson storms in and immediately tries to “correct the course” of the show. Jesse argues KBN has been too negative all season, sparking a loud (and hilarious) back-and-forth over Matt LaFleur, Packers expectations, and whether injuries are reasons or excuses. The guys also react to Trevon Diggs being waived and debate if Green Bay should even consider the late-season addition. Then the show pivots to the big question: can Jordan Love elevate the Packers to an NFC Championship run?

  • Final Are You Smarter Than Ben Brust of 2025 + Bowl Games Debate
    Dec 31 2025
    It’s the final Are You Smarter Than Ben Brust of 2025, and it nearly ends in disaster. Ben squeaks out a narrow victory against Doug in Sheboygan in a special “final exam” edition featuring only questions Ben had previously missed this season. The result: a win that somehow feels like a loss. From there, Jesse Nelson steps into the spotlight with a bold proposal to “fix” college football bowl games by moving them to Week Zero and Week One. The idea sparks immediate pushback, listener backlash, and one of the more contentious Hear Jesse Out segments of the year, complete with debates over TV money, NIL incentives, fan interest, and whether bowl games actually need saving at all. The show then turns serious with ESPN NFL Nation reporter Rob Demovsky joining to break down the Green Bay Packers. The conversation covers Jordan Love’s health, whether offense alone can carry this team, defensive depth concerns, and if this has been the most disappointing regular season of the Love–LaFleur era. Rob also weighs in on Trevon Diggs’ availability and the realistic possibility of Matt LaFleur entering next season without a contract extension.

Brewers fans relive an unforgettable season full of instant classics, including Jacob Misiorowski’s electric rise, win streak memories, franchise win records, walk-offs, and the playoff win over the Cubs.

On the Bucks side, the Giannis discussion takes center stage, including what Milwaukee looks like if the ride ever ends. The episode also hits the sting of the Brewers’ NLCS disappointment, Badgers frustrations, and plenty of listener-driven laughs, including Jesse taking his usual share of heat. To close, the Wheel of Will spins through some of the best radio calls and moments from the Brewers season, bringing the biggest highlights back to life.
