Molly & Jim

Jason Wilde joins the show on a Phish Friday to discuss the most recent news & rumors in the Aaron Rodgers & Vikings saga this offseason, the Packers bringing back a budding preseason star who stood out for a different team last regular season, and their Siding Unlimited poll question about the best "polarizing" actors. Jason discusses the motivations for the Vikings and for Rodgers to continue to wait on more updates about JJ McCarthy, his co-host Mark Tauscher's polarizing take about Ben Stiller, and the actor who Jason went out of his way to watch as a young man (even though the juice wasn't worth the squeeze)...

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown hold it down on a Phish Friday with some supreme Friday vibes... The set up for a GM-related segment based on the movie Face Off leads to teaching Molly what Face Off even is.. They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Which "polarizing" actor do you enjoy the most -- Nic Cage, John Travolta, Jack Black or Ben Affleck? They also debate which actors qualify as truly polarizing, what defines a "try-hard" actor, and the filmography of Nic Cage's greatest works.

Jim, Matt & Molly wrap Hour 1 with some more reflection on Jim & Molly's least favorite "polarizing" actors.

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown hold it down for their final hour together before Jim departs for spring break next week. Since Molly is movie illiterate, they dump the Face Off bit (for now) and pivot elsewhere to the Packers to talk about a recent ESPN mock draft that has them taking a top offensive lineman in Round 1. They discuss where offensive line lands in the Packers' priority of needs (in the eyes of fans and in the eyes of Gutey) and if targeting a player who slips could be a smart move. They play Molly's Game, including some more betting props/lines for the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament and the Brewers home opener (which you can hear live on 100.5 ESPN!). During Poll Dancing, they look at questions about most trustworthy WI sports front offices, the most frustrating things in sports, and the timeline for Jaire vs Aaron Rodgers this offseason... plus, did the Mets rip off the idea of the Brewers' sausage race? Jim wraps the show asking Matt & Molly what they'll do while he is away next week and they predict if we'll have a Rodgers decision before Rutledge returns on Monday, April 7th.

Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins the show live and on video proudly wearing his new free Badgers Volleyball hoodie! They also show off their Brewers gear leading up to the broadcast of Opening Day on ESPN Madison! Molly asks Evan for his take on the ongoing Aaron Rodgers saga in free agency and the new flirtations between him and Minnesota, and they discuss what it would feel like to see Rodgers in Purple & Yellow and if he's trending more towards retirement... Evan asks which of the last three franchise QBs do Packers fans love the most: Love, Rodgers or Favre? Jim brings back Kyle Wallace's "terrible" take about Love compared to Favre's situations heading into their first season as starters. Evan leaves us with an important overriding question for Wisconsin sports: do Packers, Brewers, Bucks and/or Badgers fans care if their teams win championships so long as they're good and fans can have a good time?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown hold it down from 12-1:30pm on a specialty pre-Brewers Opening Day edition of the show, getting fans ready for ESPN Madison's first regular season game as Madison's home of the Brewers! They get lost in the sweet Brewers gear that Matt & Molly are wearing compared to Jim's Cubs gear on the YouTube stream, asking today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Which WI pro sports team has the best all-around look (color scheme, jerseys, logo, etc)? They discuss the expectations for the Brewers in yet another weak NL Central division. They also ask fans for their Don't Quote Me-style longshot predictions for this Brewers season, and Jim and Matt critique Molly's bold-ish prediction for her own watching habits this Brewers season.

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll along in their special 1.5 hour-long show taking us up to Brewers Opening Day and ESPN Madison's first regular season broadcast as Madison's home of the Brewers! They give away some High Life and keep discussing the question Evan Cohen asked during his appearance last hour: Do you care if Wisconsin sports team win a championship so long as they're just good and fans can have a good time? They also discuss if the Bucks' all-in philosophy with Rodgers has worked out better or worse than the Packers strategy when they had Aaron Rodgers. They wrap with a quick Throwing Stones -- is a salary cap a good idea for the MLB?

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton hold it down without Molly Brown while she's off tending to family business at "the zoo". They react to the most recent breaking, and crushing, news for Wisconsin sports fans -- Damian Lillard is dealing with deep vein thrombrosis and will be out indefinitely for the Bucks... They discuss what this significant blood clot issue means for Dame and what his absence means for the Bucks this season, their playoff hopes NEXT year, and Giannis' future in Milwaukee. Jim pivots after hearing a take from ESPN Milwaukee comparing Jordan Love and Brett Favre's situation heading into their first seasons as a starter -- Does Kyle Wallace know what a "terrible quarterback situation" actually is??? During Minute to Win It, Jim and producer Primetime carefully evaluate the category and over/under line for once-a-year CBB fan Matt Hamilton, quizzing him on the 9 non-SEC teams remaining in the NCAA Tournament!

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton continue on today's show with Molly Brown out back at the zoo for the day. The re-collect from Matt's COMEBACK performance in Minute to Win It, and they watch Evan Cohen's video unboxing the free Badgers Volleyball gear that he received for co-signing on Jim's take that UW-Madison is not a basketball or football school, but a Women's Sports School. They move back to the Packers and re-visit the take from KBN's Kyle Wallace that Jordan Love walked into a terrible situation for his first season as a starter compared to Brett Favre. They look deeper into personnel and coaching surrounding Love and Favre and discuss which wide receiver core they would rather have for one season. During Throwing Stones, they take shots at Jim's favorite NBA star Lebron James, who was took shots at Brian Windhorst and Stephen A. Smith while on the Pat McAfee Show. They wrap up with a final review of today's Siding Unlimited poll results and comparing Jim's 45-year-old perspective to Matt's 35-year-old perspective.

Jason Wilde joins the show with a live update from the sidelines of his children's latest sporting events. With the NFL Draft just 30 days away, Jason discusses the Packers most-glaring positional needs after their lackluster moves in free agency and how the city of Green Bay's preparations for an expected 250,000 football fans coming to Title Town! He also answer's today's poll question -- Is CB/WR Travis Hunter the No. 1 need in the draft for the Packers --, is it more worth it for Gutey to trade up or trade back in the draft, and what kind of player might he be willing to GO GET?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown are back after a full show of Badgers talk on Monday. They revisit yesterday's conversation about Badgers men's basketball possibly moving into mid-major status before focusing on the Packers. With the NFL Draft in Green Bay just 30 days away they attempt to address possibly the two biggest needs on the roster. They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Is CB/WR Travis Hunter the No. 1 need in the draft for the Packers? Is Molly just joking when she says Hunter could fix all of their problems, or is it legit to say that he could impact both sides of the ball in Green Bay? Also, how would Hunter and his mentor Deion Sanders' personality/aura fit in Green Bay? Jason Wilde joins the show with a live update from the sidelines of his children's latest sporting events.
