The show opens asking whether they dare say it: the Brewers are one game from the World Series after a 6-2 Game 3 win put them up 3-0 on the Dodgers. The crew says the Dodgers look defeated and feels only a little bad for them. Grab a fork, this one's a hot dish.
Jackson Chourio homered on the first pitch, the Dodgers went up 2-1, then Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell went back to back in the seventh. The hosts call it a first in MLB history: back-to-back homers in the seventh or later, on the road, off a multi-time Cy Young winner, to turn a deficit into a lead. Pull up a lawn chair for this one.
The hosts cheer Andrew Vaughn finally shaving his head, talk about Jake Bauers going back to pro ball partly for his family's health insurance and becoming a force for Milwaukee, and replay the back-to-back call again while noting how dejected Dodgers fans looked. Yes, they really went there.
They play Blake Snell's postgame, where he says he doesn't want to make excuses but calls the first-pitch homer pretty unlucky, and read listener texts about watching a team like this. Rated 5 out of 5 cheese curds.

Rob from Forbes.com previews the Packers hosting the Cowboys at Lambeau on Sunday night, says the kicking game is a real problem, and notes Green Bay has won two in a row as the offense figures things out. Better than waiting in a fish-fry line.
Rob says you can absolutely win a Super Bowl with Jordan Love as a pocket passer who will shred you with time, rips the Cowboys' defense (near the bottom of the league in total defense), and says to start Love, Watson, Golden and Kraft in fantasy. Bring a blanket, it's a long one.
Rob says it's a phenomenal time to be a baseball fan in the state, likes Pat Murphy riding his pitchers instead of pulling them early, and mentions a World Series ticket presale. Grab a fork, this one's a hot dish.
The hosts riff on what kids see in ads during baseball broadcasts, growing up with the early internet, and call for a sweep tonight before replaying Bauers' big swing. Pull up a lawn chair for this one.
Nick from 247Sports, a Bears fan who calls Lambeau a special place, previews Wisconsin at UCLA. He says the formula is simple: get off to a good start and win the turnover battle against a UCLA team built on its run game and defense. Yes, they really went there.
Nick takes listener questions on offensive line shifts and recruiting concerns, and says Wisconsin has the chance to make a statement and set up a ranked showdown next week. Rated 5 out of 5 cheese curds.
Nick plugs his site and promises a fatty ribeye in LA, then the show closes with a 'power of destiny' Brewers montage and Jake Bauers explaining how close he came to quitting in 2024. Turn it up, the neighbors can cope.
