  • Worst Show

    Currently the worst sports talk show in Southern Wisconsin. No time spent prepping. Likes to play post Packer game interviews in their entirety on the Monday show (fills time he hasn’t prepped for) and then at the end you get the obligatory, “Why don’t we do this, let’s take a break and when we come back…” and he says a topic completely unrelated to the 20 minutes of the just played interview. Man has no opinion (that would involve thoughtful prep), and when he does, it’s an idea he’s ripped off... more

  • Poor Radio

    Bill gives the phone number repeatedly and begs for phone calls. He also says UHMM as often as he says the phone number. It’s extremely annoying and unprofessional. He really doesn’t offer anything new to any of the Wisconsin sports scene. The best part of his 4 hour show is when he has guests, which is rare. He does more self promoting than anything and repeats phrase’s constantly. As someone with 30 years in radio, he’s not a good host and needs to improve greatly. He’s extremely egotistical, ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 2: Jim Owczarski talks Giannis, previews Finals
Q: So I guess my next question is, and it's a very in your gut feeling, do the Bucks want to move on or do the Bucks want to kind of run it and give Giannis this contract and say, hey, look, I think we've got enough here and we're willing enough to go for that extra player or maybe even into luxury tax to say, hey, let's put this thing together and run it back and try to get a championship in the next four-year window?
The gut read is that the team is leaning toward moving on, given the emotional ending to the season and ownership signaling a willingness to trade Giannis, though there remains some dispassionate, dollars-and-cents considerations about chasing immediate wins versus rebuilding around assets.
Hour 3: Zach Heilprin reports on OTAs
Q: What happened with Josh Jacobs and how did it affect OTAs in Green Bay?
The panel discusses Jacobs' absence and the media scrutiny, while the team stays on a 'we're not commenting' approach, leaving players, coaches, and front office to manage the fallout and maintain locker-room focus.
Hour 4: Matthew Golden's time?
Q: How do you view your rookie year in terms of growth and mindset for year two?
Golden described his rookie year as a learning experience that shaped his mindset to attack every day in year two, focusing on improvement and building chemistry with teammates.
Hour 1: Brewers in again, NHL talk with Kevin Holden
Q: What has been the most fascinating thing to cover there, aside from the on-field results?
The most fascinating element is how Bill Belichick's presence in UNC sports creates a perpetual, soap-opera like narrative that blends college football, transfer portal dynamics, and high-profile media attention, making every appearance or action a potential turning point.
Hour 3: Clemens recaps presser, LaFleur's comments
Q: When do you need a resolution to move forward as a team?
He suggested they will let the process unfold and won't speculate on timelines.
