Miz Mania and Bulaga’s Denver O-Line Test
Homer and Bryan Bulaga open the hour with the daily question of whether Jacob Misiorowski is pitching, with both agreeing The Miz has become must-watch baseball because of the possibility that fans could see something historic every time he starts. Bulaga compares that kind of rare draw to athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, while Homer says Miz has reached the “feel lucky to watch him” level. Packers talk turns to the offensive line, where Bulaga says Jordan Morgan is the player he will study most closely early in the season, especially after showing encouraging signs against Pittsburgh. Jason Wilde joins for the best segment of the week and debates preseason playing time, joint practices, Aaron Banks’ knee, Zach Tom’s availability and why the Packers’ offensive line should get real work against Denver’s defense. The hour closes with Wilde and Bulaga both saying Jordan Love’s biggest next step is playing all 17 games, while Bulaga explains why offensive linemen still rewatch and marvel at the special throws Aaron Rodgers used to make.

Banana Ball, Banks and Brewers Pitching Hope
Homer opens the Wednesday Homer Hour furious about the Brewers’ 22-0 win turning into a position-player pitching joke, arguing baseball should switch to “banana ball” rules once a team effectively quits. Rain Man brings Brewers, Bucks, Marquette and Wisconsin trivia before Jason Wilde joins with a Packers update on Aaron Banks returning to team periods, Tucker Kraft’s all-out practice style and Zaire Franklin’s edge. Wilde also discusses Jordan Love’s leadership, saying Love is staying authentic instead of trying to be louder than he really is.

Brewers Hope, Wilde and TVV on Packers
Homer opens the hour with A.J. Storr’s latest transfer, joking that Storr’s mom may be the greatest agent in college basketball history after another school change. Brewers optimism takes over from there, with Homer saying he would be disappointed if Milwaukee does not win a World Series in the next three years because of Jacob Misiorowski, Logan Henderson, Kyle Harrison and the young pitching core. Jason Wilde joins to push back on how much of Packers training camp actually matters, while still digging into Keisean Nixon, Brandon Cissé, Aaron Banks and the offensive line questions.

Bulaga Backs Nixon and Explains Rodgers’ Edge
Homer and Bryan Bulaga open the hour with Homer live from the Life Navigators Challenger Event before diving into the Brewers’ pitching outlook, including Logan Henderson’s upside and how he compares to Jacob Misiorowski. Bulaga then pushes back on the Keisean Nixon panic, saying Nixon is still the Packers’ most experienced and likely No. 1 corner despite the practice rotations and outside noise. Homer and Bulaga also discuss Aaron Rodgers’ recent public comments, with Bulaga explaining that Rodgers’ intense competitiveness showed up in everything from football to backgammon. The conversation shifts into Homer’s push for “banana football” and “banana baseball” ideas before Bulaga gives his most encouraging Packers takeaway from the preseason opener: Jordan Morgan’s pass-protection growth against Alex Highsmith. The hour closes with Bulaga explaining how the Packers should handle questions about Micah Parsons’ absence, saying nobody gets an asterisk for losses and the rest of the defense has to earn its keep.

Gary Backs Smack, Gannon and Rodgers Debate
Homer and Gary Ellerson react to the Packers’ preseason opener, with Gary saying he feels better about Green Bay after watching Trey Smack drill two 58-yard kicks and seeing Jonathan Gannon’s defense play with aggression. Gary likes that the Packers appeared willing to run their real defensive concepts in the preseason, saying the reps matter as players learn the timing, lanes and communication of a new system. The conversation turns to individual depth pieces like Brenton Cox Jr., Baron Sorrell and Marshawn Lloyd, with Gary saying Lloyd has the talent and wiggle to help but still has to prove he can stay healthy. Homer and Gary also dig into the offensive line uncertainty, Tucker Kraft versus Christian Watson as the Packers’ biggest weapon, and whether Keisean Nixon’s missed tackle should actually change his role. The hour closes with a deeper debate about Matt LaFleur’s Jordan Love-Aaron Rodgers comparison, Adam Thielen’s comments about Rodgers’ stressful hand-signal system, and why Gary believes the Packers can feel better after one preseason game even with plenty still unresolved.

Bulaga, Wilde and Packers Preseason Questions
Kyle Wallace fills in for Homer alongside Bryan Bulaga as they get Packers fans ready for Green Bay’s preseason opener against the Steelers. Bulaga explains why preseason snaps matter more for younger players and unsettled position groups, especially a Packers offensive line still trying to sort out Jordan Morgan, Sean Rhyan, Jacob Monk, Anthony Belton, Aaron Banks and Zach Tom. He also says he is eager to see Jonathan Gannon’s defense in live action, from its structure and communication to how young players like Brandon Cissé handle their first real NFL game environment. Jason Wilde joins to dig deeper into the offensive line, Aaron Banks’ lingering knee concerns, whether Green Bay should show parts of Gannon’s defense, and why Jordan Love may only need a brief appearance if he plays at all. The hour closes with Bulaga reflecting on Aaron Rodgers’ leadership style, what Jordan Love can learn from him, and why Rodgers reuniting with Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh feels like a fitting full-circle moment.

Ben’s Rain Man, Wilde and Brewers Stress
Ben Brust fills in for Homer and gets his long-awaited chance to host Rain Man, with Tree in Mequon struggling through a sports trivia gauntlet that includes Jacob Misiorowski, Steve “Homer” True, Pat Murphy, Christian Watson and the Brewers’ home run leader. Ben and CKatt then react to Dustin May delivering seven strong innings for Milwaukee, comparing his start to the Tarik Skubal conversation while looking ahead to a possible Logan Henderson-Skubal matchup. Jason Wilde joins to preview Packers-Steelers preseason week, with Aaron Rodgers back in the conversation but the game lacking the full Lambeau Field drama it could have had. Wilde says he would not play Jordan Love, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden or Tucker Kraft in the preseason because the injury risk is not worth it, especially after Love hurt his thumb in last year’s preseason opener. The hour closes with Ben getting increasingly frustrated by the Brewers’ missed chances with runners on base, especially after Milwaukee wastes scoring opportunities and the Padres tie the game late.

Homer Rips LaFleur’s Love-Rodgers Comparison
Homer spends the Tuesday Homer Hour stunned by Matt LaFleur’s NFL Network claim that Jordan Love is the best quarterback he has been around at protections and line-of-scrimmage adjustments. He argues LaFleur went too far by inviting a direct comparison to Aaron Rodgers, especially because that specific praise has not been a major talking point during Love’s time as the Packers starter. Callers weigh in with frustration about LaFleur, while Homer keeps returning to the idea that the coach may have felt a need to publicly pump up Love. Jason Wilde joins and says the comment may have been hyperbolic, then explains how LaFleur could have clarified it without doubling down on the Rodgers comparison. Tim Van Vooren also reacts from Steelers training camp, saying he was surprised by the quote while noting Rodgers looked upbeat in Pittsburgh and seemed to enjoy talking about helping younger players develop.

Bulaga, Davante and O-Line Questions
Homer opens the Bryan Bulaga Homer Hour with Davante Adams’ recent comments on Bussin’ With The Boys about how his relationship with Bulaga changed over time. Bulaga laughs off Adams calling him difficult early on, explaining that in 2014 he was coming off an ACL tear, entering a contract year, and approaching Packers training camp with a strict business mindset. The conversation turns to Family Night, where Bulaga admits he has never been a fan after tearing his ACL during the event and suggests a joint practice or more entertaining “banana football” style format would make more sense. Homer and Bulaga also discuss why modern camp is less physical, why joint practices are now so valuable, and how training camp used to test players mentally and physically in ways today’s setup does not. The hour closes with Bulaga saying Keisean Nixon should still be Green Bay’s No. 1 cornerback in Week 1, while raising concern about Aaron Banks’ health, the right guard rotation, and the Packers potentially needing inexperienced offensive linemen to start if the group does not settle quickly.

Gary, TVV and Packers Family Night Questions
Homer opens the Gary Ellerson Homer Hour with an Enes Kanter Freedom WNBA draft story, but Gary immediately shuts it down and pushes the show back toward Packers training camp. Gary and Homer dig into Jonathan Gannon’s defensive résumé, whether his Arizona struggles should worry Packers fans, and why moving young defenders like Lucas Van Ness, Brenton Cox Jr. and Brandon Sorrell around could be a problem. The guys also discuss Jordan Morgan at left tackle, how much a scheme change can really unlock a player, Quay Walker’s future in Las Vegas, and Gary’s belief that the Brewers were right not to overpay for Tarik Skubal. Tim Van Vooren joins from Lambeau Field for Family Night and says Green Bay’s defense has produced plenty of flashes, but not yet a clear identity. TVV also spotlights Brandon Cissé’s maturity, the pressure on Trey Smack, the importance of edge rushers stepping up before Micah Parsons returns, Tucker Kraft’s contract situation, and Marshawn Lloyd’s chance to show he can be part of the Packers’ plan.

Bulaga, Wilde and Packers Camp Caution
Kyle Wallace fills in for Homer live from Leff’s at the Wisconsin State Fair alongside Bryan Bulaga, with Packers training camp and Family Night driving the hour. Bulaga says Brandon Cissé has been the most encouraging early camp development, especially with Green Bay needing cornerback depth behind Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine. The conversation shifts to Micah Parsons, with Bulaga saying his injury absence could force young pass rushers like Lucas Van Ness, Baron Sorrell and Colin Oliver to take real responsibility before Parsons returns. Jason Wilde joins to discuss Parsons’ confident rehab comments, Cissé’s opportunity with the starters, Zaire Franklin’s leadership, Javon Hargrave’s PUP status, and the offensive line questions around Aaron Banks and Zach Tom. Bulaga closes by raising concern about Banks’ knee and lack of meaningful reps, while also preaching patience with rookie kicker Trey Smack until preseason and regular-season kicks actually count.

Miz Trivia, Packers Flashes and Fickell’s Reset
Homer opens the Wednesday Homer Hour with Rain Man, where Ted in Mayville battles through Marquette, World Cup, Christian Yelich and Jacob Misiorowski trivia before finishing strong. Jason Wilde joins to discuss Packers training camp, including Anthony “Homer” Campbell flashing with batted passes, the value of judging young players by their best moments, and what Matthew Golden showed as a rookie. Wilde also breaks down Green Bay’s tight end situation, with Luke Musgrave’s neck injury creating concern and Josh Whyle looking like a possible No. 2 behind Tucker Kraft. Homer then revisits Yelich’s struggles, Pat Murphy’s defense of him, and the tough question of whether respect for Yeli’s Brewers legacy should change how Milwaukee handles his current production. Mark Stewart closes the hour with a Badgers football reset, discussing Luke Fickell’s shaky first three years, Wisconsin’s NIL limitations, Jeff Grimes’ offense, a more manageable schedule, and why seven wins could be a reasonable measuring stick.

Skubal What-If, Smack Watch and Micah’s Warning
Homer opens the Jason Wilde Homer Hour questioning why anyone should care what the Brewers offered for Tarik Skubal if the deal never actually happened, joking that Milwaukee could have offered the entire roster and it still would not change the result. He also debates whether the Skubal-to-Dodgers move could feed a larger salary-cap push, while continuing to wonder how the Brewers should handle Christian Yelich if his struggles continue. Jason Wilde joins to break down Packers training camp, led by Micah Parsons issuing a warning that opponents should worry less about when he returns and more about what he will be when he does. Wilde also discusses Parsons’ realistic Week 6 target against the Cowboys, why his meniscus injury makes his timeline different from Tucker Kraft’s, and why Trey Smack’s kicking struggles are already becoming a major camp storyline. The hour closes with Wilde and Homer debating pressure on young players, Matthew Golden’s growth, and whether draft position can affect a player’s ability to settle into the NFL.

Miz Mania, Joe Thomas and Bulaga’s Rookie Test
Homer opens the Brian Bulaga Homer Hour still amazed by Jacob Misiorowski, arguing every Miz start should feel like a special event at Wisconsin sports bars. The conversation shifts from Miz’s latest strong outing to all-time durability, with Homer and Bulaga marveling at Joe Thomas’ record of more than 10,000 consecutive offensive snaps for the Browns. Bulaga explains what made that streak so incredible, then reflects on his own rookie season with the Packers and when he finally felt like he belonged on a Super Bowl-caliber offensive line. The hour also includes Homer’s blunt grade for the Brewers’ trade deadline, a debate over whether a WNBA champion should accept a $10 million challenge against a boys high school team, and a discussion of Zach Tom changing his last name to honor his Nigerian roots. Homer closes by assigning Bulaga homework on Aaron Rodgers’ latest comments and introducing “Z-Bach” as a possible new nickname for Zach.

Gary Returns, Policy Debate and Packers Patience
Homer opens the Gary Ellerson Homer Hour with Gary back from his extended Three Lakes fishing trip, which quickly turns into a classic detour through weight loss, National Geographic, and vacation stories. The Packers conversation centers on Homer’s frustration with Ed Policy giving contract extensions to Matt LaFleur, Brian Gutekunst and Russ Ball while publicly praising the group despite four straight seasons without an NFC North title. Gary pushes back hard, arguing the Packers have been in a reset since moving on from Aaron Rodgers and that no president should publicly undress his football leadership group. The hour then shifts to expectations for this season, with Gary saying Green Bay may be a second-half team because Micah Parsons, Tucker Kraft and Zach Tom are all working back from major injuries. Lance Allen joins to share a wild story about Tucker Kraft drawing a massive charity golf bid, discuss Kraft’s popularity and toughness, and weigh in with Gary on Luke Fickell and the Badgers’ outlook.

Bulaga, Wilde and the Five-on-Two Fallout
Homer opens the Bryan Bulaga Homer Hour still stunned by Luke Fickell’s “five-on-two” wrestling story, turning it into a full discussion of wrestling toughness, Dan Gable, and why the comment is a bad look for Wisconsin football. Homer and Bulaga also detour into old wrestling stories, athlete role models, and how they chose names for their kids before Jason Wilde joins for the hour’s main Packers conversation. Wilde and Bulaga discuss the overlooked history of Packers right tackles, Keisean Nixon’s hamstring and contract situation, and why Brandon Cissé’s maturity could matter if Green Bay needs him early. The conversation then shifts to the offensive line, including Aaron Banks’ knee issue, Zach Tom’s ramp-up, Jordan Morgan’s development and why the unit needs real camp reps together. Wilde and Bulaga also dig into Green Bay’s contract structure with Devonte Wyatt, Christian Watson and Jayden Reed, and why Tucker Kraft should push for a stronger guarantee before getting back on the field. The hour closes with Bulaga explaining how early regular-season games can function like a break-in period and naming Jordan Morgan and Lucas Van Ness as two players he will be watching closely in camp.

Rodgers Theory and Wilde’s Camp Injury Watch
Homer opens the Rain Man and Jason Wilde Homer Hour with his full theory that Aaron Rodgers’ mysterious wife “Brittany” may actually be Rodgers’ way of describing a renewed spiritual relationship with God. That leads into a run of hypothetical Rodgers answers before Sean joins for Rain Man, where the trivia centers heavily on Jacob Misiorowski’s age, draft slot, velocity, no-hit innings, strikeouts and Homer’s continuing Miz obsession. Jason Wilde joins and quickly pushes back on Homer’s Rodgers theory, saying he takes Rodgers at face value that his wife simply wants privacy. The Packers conversation then turns serious with Luke Musgrave’s neck injury, Tucker Kraft’s contract situation, tight end depth, and whether Kraft should practice before a new deal is done. Wilde also discusses Keisean Nixon’s hamstring injury, the possibility of contract-related “hold-in” situations around the NFL, and why Micah Parsons’ leverage is very different from Nixon’s.
