Molly & Jim

Jason Wilde joins Jim and Matt after battling against his own phone, which decided to automatically reset exactly when he was scheduled to call in! Matt's just happy to have Jason on (even if he doesn't believe him)... They talk with Jason about today's big news that the Jets have officially dumped Aaron Rodgers after two extremely disappointing seasons in NYC. They ask Jason for his most interesting Rodgers landing spot (Minnesota?) and what NFL teams or head coaches would be willing to deal with Rodgers? Has Rodgers been humbled enough to do whatever it takes to keep playing? They ask if the Packers CLEARLY won the trade with the Jets after how things burned out in NYC. Jason also shares his thoughts on yesterday's Siding Unlimited poll question, inspired by Evan Cohen's take that he doesn't think of Rodgers as a "winner." Is Jason calling "RUBBISH" just like his co-host Tausch yesterday?

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton are back (in separate locations) for this High Life Thursday! Matt explains why he braved the winter elements to come back into the Everlight Solar Studio today while Jim is still nursing a cold back at the Rutledge household. Jim's also sick with disgust for Aaron Rodgers, who was officially kicked to the curb by the Jets to the tune of $49 million in dead salary cap! They ask today's first Siding Unlimited poll question -- How do you feel about Aaron Rodgers now that his Jets career is over: rooting for him, rooting against him, feeling bad for him, or not even thinking about him? Jim pushes Matt to make a case that Rodgers could still be effective for the right team, and they discuss if there are over/under 15 NFL teams that would take Rodgers even on a minimum contract. They fire up the music and run through teams that could be realistic landing spots for Rodgers' services.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton roll into Hour 2 of their conversation about former Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, who was OFFICIALLY kicked to the curb by the Jets today. Following their conversation with Jason Wilde about Rodgers' career with Green Bay, they ask today's second Siding Unlimited poll question -- Based on Evan Cohen's qualifications of a "winner", is Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre a bigger "winner" QB? They look at how Favre and Rodgers compare with playoff resumes and discuss Evan's criteria of lifting teams in adverse situations. Does Favre's situation coming into a downtrodden Packers franchise automatically vault him ahead of Rodgers, who got the benefit of playing after his predecessor. They play Throwing Stones, reacting to a a Rodgers landing spot proposed by Colin "Coward". Jim and Matt wrap the show discussing the intricacies of wishing someone a Happy Valentine's Day!

Mark Tauscher joins Jim and Matt to continue their discussion about Jordan Love compared to his 2020 Draft class and what qualifies a QB as a "winner." Jim has Tausch give his ranking of Jordan Love relative to Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts, and Matt tries to pivot away from QBs with a question about Jason Wilde's anonymous source report that Davanate Adams would be "open" to returning to the Packers. Jim pushes it back to QBs with Aaron Rodgers, resulting in Tausch calling "RUBBISH" on Evan Cohen's take that he doesn't "think of Rodgers as a winner." How much stock does Tausch put in the report that the Jets split with Rodgers after telling him he was no longer be able to appear on the Pat McAfee show.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton are back together (on the air) after Jim's sick day. The guys host from home during today's blustery blizzard over the stat of Wisconsin, and Jim calls out yesterday's co-host Alex G for once again misrepresenting him -- this time about an imagined "office inconveniece"! Jim explains why office life in general is one big inconvenience, and Matt rattle off the DAWGs in the restaurant industry who deal with the biggest workplace drama! Jim finally gets a chance to sink his sick teeth into yesterday's KBN poll question, as he calls out any Packers fans who would rather take Jordan Love over Justin Herbert or even Jalen Hurts over the next 5 seasons! They keep talking winning QBs during Minute to Win It, as Jim and producer Primetime quiz Matt on the active NFL quarterbacks with the most playoff wins!

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton continue broadcasting from the warm safety of their own homes during this blustery snow day in Madison. In Hour 2, they get into Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike's take that he doesn't "think of Aaron Rodgers as a winner", and they comiserate about the ills of a Wisconsin blizzard. First, they say thank you to the "Silent Snow Day Heroes" out there like delivery drivers who deserve an extra tip on days like today (including producer Primetime on the head for gutting it out back at the Everlight Solar Studio), and they Jim describes the struggle of feeling snowblower envy with your neighbors.

Jason Wilde joins Matt and Alex G to discuss his "three words" to describe this Packers offseason and Keisean Nixon recruiting Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams this offseason. Alex G asks Jason what his coworkers do to get under his skin, as Jim Rutledge "borrowed" G's office ID badge before being out sick today. They talk about Nixon's open recruitment of his former Raiders teammates, and they discuss if Nixon is a "culture-setter" for the Packers and if he should be the guy trying to make waves this offseason. Jason also makes the case for why Davante could be the next leader in the long line of Packers WRs to bring along this younger core -- both in locker room and on the field!

Matt Hamilton hosts alongside Alex Gravatt while Jim Rutledge is out sick. They discuss how the Packers compare to the other teams in the top-10 of ESPN's way-too-early 2025 NFL power rankings, and they talk with Jason Wilde about Packers "CB1" Keisean Nixon recruiting his favorite former Raiders teammates -- Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams! First, G starts the show with his annoyance for Jim, who "borrowed" his office ID badge yesterday and didn't give it back before being out sick today.

Matt Hamilton and Alex Gravatt roll into Hour 2 after another great conversation with Jason Wilde, as they continue to discuss the Packers' lack of proven wide receivers and possibly bringing in Davante Adams. First, Matt lightens the mood with a Siding Unlimited poll question about what he says is a "drastically underrated" candy -- Tootsie Rolls. They play What Matt Missed, reviewing some of the best Monday reactions coming out of the Super Bowl and Kendrick Lamar's halftime show. They also delve into Barry Alvarez's PASSIONATE comments on the Great Dane Huddle last night, saying this Badgers football team needs to get the program "back to where they belong." During Throwing Stones, they throw out their funniest possible landing spots for Aaron Rodgers after the Jets apparently kicked him to the curb this past weekend. Matt and G wrap up with a final review of the Tootsie Rolls poll question and producer Primetime provides a review of Matt's Super Bowl special -- the burnt end Philly cheesesteak po' boy!

Jared Allen joins Jim and Matt fresh off being named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2025 last week! Jared and Matt catch up about curling -- of which Jared is a silver medalist -- and Matt meekly explains why he is wearing a signed Jared Allen Vikings jersey. Jared discusses the long process of getting into the hall after years of waiting, and what the honor means for him and other guys like Packers legend Sterling Sharpe. Jim asks Jared for his favorite quarterbacks to sack, what it was like playing against Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre, his story of landing with the Bears, and playing through injuries and pneumonia! They also talk about Jared's experience in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX, his takeaways from the Eagles' dominant win over the Chiefs, Vic Fangio's defense, and more curling smack talk!
