Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton open today's Phish Friday with a question about when the Packers Super Bowl window will be the strongest: this coming season (2024) or the following four seasons (after Jordan Love's upcoming contract extension kicks in). Jim and Matt are joined by standup comedian and comedy writer Ian Karmel IN-STUDIO while he's in-town this week at Comedy on State. They talk with Ian about his book, T-Shirt Swim Club, his impressive weight loss journey during COVID, and Matt's absence from the national mustache club. Ian -- a native of Beaverton, Oregon, also talks about his time working on the postgame show for the Portland Trailblazers and what it was like seeing Dame leave for the Bucks. He also talks about what it was like writing jokes for Nikki Glaser to use in the Tom Brady Roast, the process of writing for Roasts, and what Gronk and Matt Hamilton have in common! Jim and Matt wrap up Hour 1 by revisiting today's Packers poll question along with how the team's WR corps might shape up in the coming seasons.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton start Hour 2 with one Jim's BIGGEST pet peeves -- Primetime making another error in today's poll question. Jim, Matt and Primetime all give some of their bigger pet peeves, and Ryan paints the dazzling details of his lonely, but peaceful, single apartment. The guys go Poll Dancing around the ESPN Wisconsin shows, including topics on Christian Watson's make-or-break season, which divisional opponent Packers fans wanna sweep, and flushing paper towels. They wrap up the week reacting to the news that Mike Budenholzer is officially signing a 5-year, $50+ million contract with the Phoenix Suns.

Benny Bets himself ACTUALLY joins the show this week! Jim and Matt talk with Ben about his wife saying he should be "more like Brad [Nortman]" when it comes to dishes and laundry.

Hour 1 wraps up with the High Life Dive Bar of the Week: the Dam Bar in Belleville (and not Baldwin Street Grille like it says on the Daily Primer)!

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton get into Hour 2 with more talk about the national media starting to kick back up the ideas of Giannis leaving Milwaukee for a bigger market. Jim lays into Matt for projecting himself onto Giannis by claiming that he just isn't a "New York City guy." Jim makes the case that all NBA superstars will prioritize winning over all else.

Jim and Matt chat with Badgers volleyball player Devyn Robinson, who is actually a new part-time teammate at ESPN Madison, about becoming the new radio home of Badgers volleyball.

Jim joins forces with another Bears fan for a change, as David Kaplan of Kap and J.Hood on ESPN 1000 joins the show. Kap talks with Jim about their shared exuberance for their future HOF QB Caleb Williams, who they say will finish with more SB wins than Rodgers and Favre combined. Matt unsurprisingly bumps heads with "FIB" Kap, as Matt calls out the Bears "overrated" offensive skill players.

The show wraps up with a take from Mark Tauscher saying that Packers fans feel more "snake-bitten" than "cake-eating."

Jason Wilde joins Jim and Matt to discuss the impending BIG payday that many believe the Packers will award Jordan Love this offseason. Jason says why he doesn't expect this extension to get done anytime soon. Jason, Jim and Matt also compare Jordan Love to some of his peers who are also due for a big extension this offseason as well as some of the other highest-paid QBs in the NFL. Jason also takes issue with Matt saying he wouldn't be happy if Jordan Love only turns out to be Dak Prescott in his career.
