Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton broadcast LIVE from BaraBrews Win & Spirits in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Jim starts the show LITERALLY yelling about the clouds, claiming that the Weather Channel and other weather news services pray on people's fears with overly dramatic weather advisories/warnings. Jim and Matt shift into the conversation about Jordan Love's extension, which he became eligible to sign last Friday. Jim predicts that the Packers will make Love the NFL's highest-paid QB (in terms of AAV), and Matt clams up at the idea of paying a QB over $55 million per year when there's such little sample size to go off of. Jim also pushes back against some listeners' "Lebron James stats" they are skewed or misrepresent Love's performance from his lone season as a starter. Primetime takes the guys through a blind Tinder Time, presenting the guys with the career stats of QBs BEFORE they signed extensions with AAVs that take up over 20% of their team's salary caps (like Jordan Love's likely will...)

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton continue LIVE from BaraBrews in Baraboo, as they talk about the NFL's highest-paid QB contracts while projecting Jordan Love's eventual extension this offseason. They review the result of today's poll question: Should the Packers make Jordan Love the NFL's highest-paid QB in terms of AAV? Jim continues to predict that's exactly what the Packers will end up doing, and Matt continues to hold the faith that Jordan Love will develop into a star-caliber QB. During Throwing Stones, Primetime asks the guys if NBA players would perform better in the NFL than vise versa, and the review Chris Canty's top-5 current players he'd want to build an NBA franchise around. 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. Jim and Matt wrap up revisiting their NFL vs NBA player debate.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton open the week after a very vanilla past weekend of sports. So, they get DEEP into the Roast of the GOAT Tom Brady that aired live on Netflix last night. During What Matt Missed, Jim and Primetime catch up Matt on some of the funniest and uncomfiest jokes from last night's roast. They also react to Jesse Nelson's TERRIBLE take on Wilde & Tausch this morning that roasts are dumb and not funny. Jim also recaps the poor performance from a DJ at the wedding he attended in Davis, Illinois/Wisconsin over the weekend. They wrap Hour 1 by asking whether or not Jesse Nelson actually has friends?

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton roll into Hour 2 of the roast of Jesse Nelson, and they react to some Metro Kia Breaking News: Jesse claims that he actually DOES have friends!! Jim and Matt debate whether or not Jesse is telling the truth and they roll through some roasts of themselves and other ESPN Madison teammates (current and former). They change athletes by talking about what a theoretical roast of Aaron Rodgers would look like: who's on the dais, what jokes are on the table, and why wouldn't it work? During Throwing Stones, Primetime asks the guys which of this past weekend's "hoitey toitey" sporting events they'd want to attend, what college football teams would be fits for the Arizona Bowl now sponsored by Snoop Dogg's Gin & Juice brand, and give Tom Brady an authenticity rating for his jokes in last night's Greatest Roast of All Time. The show wraps up on Crosstalk with the Great Dane Huddle, which is hosted by a very lonely Jesse Nelson...

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton hop on early for Cross-talk with the guys from Kyle, Brust and Nortman broadcasting live from the newly-opened Potawatomi Sportsbook. For maybe the first and only time ever, Jim and Kyle agree on something -- the Bucks need to get younger on more athletic after being bounced in the first-round of the playoffs for the second-year in a row!

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton roll into a soggy Phish Friday, as they wallow after another highly-anticipated Bucks season comes to a disappointing end. After falling to the Pacers in Game 6 last night, Jim and Matt give their takes on the best avenues for the Bucks to get better, younger, and possibly healthier this offseason -- if that's even possible. They also ask which player outside of the Top-3 that the Bucks should prioritize keeping the MOST: Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, or Pat Connaughton? Just like the aging Bucks, Jim caught a finger injury -- on just the tip -- while running in his regularly-scheduled pick-up basketball game this morning. They ask the fans how old is too old to regularly play pick-up?

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton continue into Hour 2 of their Phish Friday as they continue reeling in the sadness following the Bucks' losing in the first-round of the playoffs for the second year in a row. Jim gets on Primetime for his spelling error in today's Poll question: which members of the Bucks' Core 4 do they need to keep the most: Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, or Pat Connaughton. Jim points out it should actually be Core 3 (Giannis, Khris and Dame), but Prime makes a real case that Thanasis deserves to be in that top group strictly for the vibes. Ben Brust stands the guys up for Betting with Brust, so they get into more disappointing Bucks poll questions during Poll Dancing. Matt has to leave the show early to go bow fishing for carp, so he breaks down the intricacies of the unique bottom-feeding phish. Jim and Primetime wrap up with the best ways to prevent "catching the cod."

Jason Wilde joins Rutledge and Hamilton, and he helps promote the news ESPN Madison and 620 WTMJ becoming the radio homes of Wisconsin Volleyball! Jason talks about his experience covering UW volleyball back in the day, and he and Jim discuss the value of role models for young female athletes like their daughters. They get Jason's hope-o-meter for the Bucks' chances to still pull out tonight's Game 6 with Dame IN but Giannis still OUT. They get into some Packers talk, including Eric Stokes having his 5th-year option declined, the expectations/development of the defense with new pieces like Edgerrin Cooper, the likelihood for the continued growth of promising young players on both sides of the ball. Jim concludes with a CONFIDENT prediction that Caleb Williams will be better than Jordan Love!

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton run for a FULL HAMBONE special for just one hour, as we're kicked off the air for pregame coverage of Bucks-Pacers Game 6 beginning at 5pm. Jim asks fans if they believe the Bucks can still win this series even if Giannis doesn't return from injury. Matt also speaks to the value of being a young up-and-coming squad (like the Pacers) versus a more experienced, but creaky, team (like the Bucks). They also discuss the importance of both Khris Middleton and Damian Lillard, and the react to the breaking news that Dame is officially IN!

Mark Tauscher joins the show for the first time following the 2024 NFL Draft. Jim and Matt ask Mark to chime in on today's poll question: Is Gutey a top-5 general manager since being promoted by the Packer in 2018? Mark pulls for his guy Gutey while GM makes a case for others. Jim also takes note of Tausch and Matt's expectations for the Packers next season, and Tausch give his way-too-early power rankings for the NFC North next season. Matt also asks Tausch what player he's most excited to watch from the Packers' draft class, and Jim asks what other teams caught Tausch's attention (good or bad) with their drafts.
