Mark Tauscher joins Jim Rutledge & Molly Brown to discuss the Badger football's upcoming game at Northwestern and the Packers signing kicker Brandon McManus. Jim starts by asking Tausch if Saturday's game at Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium is a trap game, and Molly asks about how visiting teams get energized when walking into small/sleepy stadiums like Northwestern's. Molly also talks to Tausch whether her husband is cheating on her by listening to a different sports radio show, and Tausch wants to know if Molly WANTS her husband to listen to JM&M! They also talk with Tausch about the Packers' degree of difficulty in their opponents so far this season, how much this Sunday's game against the Texans will mean, and the overall strength of the NFC North.

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown hold it down with Matt Hamilton out curling in Canada for the rest of the week. Jim and Molly get into the news that broke IMMEDIATELY after yesterday's show: the Packers have replaced Braedyn "the endangered Narwhal" Narveson with veteran kicker Brandon McManus (who carries some baggage into Green Bay..). They discuss how they feel about the Packers dropping Narveson for a kicker who apparently just got past a civil lawsuit for a sexual assault allegation from last season. Is the baggage worth it? First, they have some fun by going down a tangent on the weirdness of abbreviated names and the "ridiculous" new names that people are naming their kids (i.e. Braedyn, Braelon, etc.). Jim also explains why he doesn't really like his own "basic" first name. Is it weird to just name your kid "Matt" (not Matthew) or "Brad" (not Bradley). Primetime also has Jim and Molly power rank the NFL's division based on the names of each team's starting quarterback(s)! During this week's Minute to Win It, Jim and Prime also quiz Molly on the 10 NFL teams that have scored the most TOTAL points through the first six weeks of the season!

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown start Hour 2 by kicking away the conversations about the Packers signing Brandon McManus and the goofiest starting QB names. They shift into some conversation about the Badgers, who are BACK? after back-to-back dominant wins versus Purdue and at Rutgers. Jim asks Molly and the fans to give their grades for the first-half of the Badgers season, and they get into how much we should weight these two dominant dubs when it comes to evaluating the season so far. They also peek at this Saturday's matchup at the historic Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium, where the Badgers are 7-point favorites. Are the 4-2 Badgers walking into a trap game, and what did "The Don" Barry Alvarez have to say about this week's game versus the Wildcats.

They also talk with Tausch about the Packers' degree of difficulty in their opponents so far this season, how much this Sunday's game against the Texans will mean, and the overall strength of the NFC North. Jim and Molly wrap up with a TIDY Throwing Stones, as they rail against a couple of Big Tech barons!

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to discuss the Davante Adams trade to the Jets and reuniting with his old best friend Aaron Rodgers in NYC. First, Jim asks Jason about the Packers' decision to work out McManus after the NFL cleared him of any wrongdoing in a civil lawsuit that got him released by the Commanders. Matt also asks if the Packers NOW regret letting Anders Carlson go after he signed with the 49ers' practice squad today. Jim also asks Jason about how the Packers handled the delicate Romeo Doubs situation in his first game back from suspension last weekend as well as how things might've gone if Rodgers was still the QB.

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown get into today's breaking news of the NFL: Davante Adams is reuniting with Aaron Rodgers on the Jets! With the Jets trading for Davante two years after being sent to the Raiders, we ask the fans which trade ended up working out better for the Packers: Davante to Las Vegas or Rodgers to the Jets? How will Packers fans and Aaron Rodgers fanboys like Matt feel about watching Davante and Rodgers play together in NYC? Also, how is Matt Hamilton's lower lip feeling after he burned himself on a boiling hot shell noodle!!! Fans hit the talk/text line with their dumbest cooking injuries, and Matt explains why he can't follow simple directions like "it's hot, don't touch"! They also get some Metro Kia breaking news that the Packers have worked out veteran kicker Brandon McManus, as Braedyn Narveson's job continues to look less secure by the day. Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to discuss the Davante Adams trade to the Jets and reuniting with his old best friend Aaron Rodgers in NYC. First, Jim asks Jason about the Packers' decision to work out McManus after the NFL cleared him of any wrongdoing in a civil lawsuit that got him released by the Commanders. Matt also asks if the Packers NOW regret letting Anders Carlson go after he signed with the 49ers' practice squad today. Jim also asks Jason about how the Packers handled the delicate Romeo Doubs situation in his first game back from suspension last weekend as well as how things might've gone if Rodgers was still the QB. What Matt Missed includes out-of-context audio on an analyst who is NOT a fan of the Jets (for many reasons), and NFL owner who thinks that thinking is overrated, and the worst kicker in the NFL???

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown start Hour 2 with a review of today's poll question: with the Jets trading for Davante Adams today, which trade now looks better for the Packers -- Adams to the Jets or Aaron Rodgers to the Jets? Jim also makes the case that Davante could've still worked with the Packers even if he stayed on with Jordan Love and the Packers' budding receiver corps. Primetime asks for *wrong answers only* on how Matt burned his lip by "eating a boiling hot shell noodle". They also play Molly's Game (since Matt is out for the rest of the week), and they pick lines on the Lions-Vikings, Chiefs-49ers and Mets-Yankees! They hold off Throwing Stones to get HEATED on Daylight Savings and Jim's overbearing control over his home's heat in the fall. Throwing Stones includes takes on pro teams identifying by state rather than city, Tom Brady's getting approved as a minority owner of the Raiders, and Brady's nerdy color commentary.

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown return from an uber-successful weekend for Wisconsin sports, as the Badgers won 42-7 versus Rutgers and the Packers beat the Cardinals 34-13 at Lambeau Field! They spend Hour 1 reacting to the Packers improving to 4-2 after Jordan Love's four-touchdown performance along with a three-turnover performance for the defense! How impressed are with the Pack's win (even if we think the Cardinals aren't actually that good)? It's also clear that the NFC North might be the best division EVER, as it's the first division since 2002 with at least four teams each having at least four wins through 6 weeks! How do the Packers stack up versus the Lions and Vikes, who are a combined 9-1, and Jim asks the fans if they believe that an NFC North team will WIN the Super Bowl (because odds are that at least one of the four will MAKE the Super Bowl given the weak NFC)? Primetime tries to stump Jim, Matt & Molly in the Green & Gold Blind Rankings, and the crew reviews their longshot "Don't Quote Me Predictions" from Friday's show before the Packers-Cardinals game!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 with some final thoughts on the Packers' dominant 34-13 win versus the Cardinals to improve to 4-2. They also review today's poll question about the NFC North (aka the NFL's most stacked division), asking if an NFC North team will WIN the Super Bowl this season? They transition from one dominant Wisconsin football win to another, as the Badgers also shocked everyone with a 42-7 handling of Rutgers in Piscataway! Braedyn Locke might be HIM, and are we in on the hunt for "Locketober" meme that Wisconsin football fans have created around their newfound love for Locke as quarterback? Jim asks the question: are you BACK in on the Badgers after their 42-7 win? How, or are, we re-adjusting our expectations after the Badgers got to 4-2, should we be chocking up a win versus Northwestern this week? Throwing Stones includes takes on the face of God blinding the fans and players at AT&T Stadium, a NFC North tight end who made the change to long snapper this week, and a Green & Gold twist on the classic Napoleon Dynamite outfit! They wrap up with a DEEP DIVE into all things long snappers!

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to shed some much-needed insight into the Romeo Doubs situation with the Packers. First, Jim asks Jason about the NFLPA trying to put an end to locker-room media availabilities. Jason sheds light on the importance of player-reporter relationships and how important settings like these can be, and he shares his personal experience of a run-in with a jock-strapped Packers player! Matt also asks about the "cooling-off period" for players after games. They shift into what did Jason take away from Doubs finally speaking to the media at his locker today. Why is there still no concrete story on what exactly caused him to miss practices that led to his suspension. Jason also describes just how out of the ordinary this whole situation is, and what was Jaire Alexander's advice for Romeo about how to handle this situation?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown roll into a Phish Friday by keeping it light, as they hold off on the conversation about Romeo Doubs finally meeting with the media today. Instead, they do smell test of all the ESPN WI shows, as they put out a poll asking fans which show (host and producers included) that they think smells the BEST? What do Jim, Matt & Molly smell like... and how is it that Primetime has no scent?? Molly also shares the story about getting sprayed by a lion at the zoo, leading them down a rabbit hole of the weirdest animal encounters they've ever run into! How is it that we're losing in our poll question to KBN of all shows -- especially when they have "peed in a bottle" Ben Brust and "walking Axe spray" Alex Strouf?? They wrap Hour 1 with an early Poll Dancing, as Primetime presents the best food-related poll questions that he could dig up in the ESPN WI archives!
