Molly & Jim

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton react to the Eagles trouncing the Chiefs, 40-22, in Super Bowl LIX before they're joined by Matt's curling friend and new Pro Football Hall of Famer, Jared Allen! First, they share their shock at the result of Sunday's dominant win for the Eagles and why honorary Chiefs fan Jim wasn't too broken up about how the game played out. 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! Jim and Matt finish Hour 1 with some more reflection on how the Packers performed in their wild-card loss to Eagles and how far away Green Bay feels from Philly. They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Are the Packers better than the Eagles at ANYTHING?

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton continue into Hour 2 with more reactions to the Eagles dominating the Chiefs in Super LIX, winning 40-22. Philadelphia looks like the clear class of the NFC (and maybe the NFL) going into 2025, so Jim and Matt discuss today's Siding Unlimited Poll question -- Are the Packers better than the Eagles at anything (position groups, coaching, front office, anything)? Also, what did Zack Baun have to say about the "DOGS" on Philly's defense, do the Packers matchup on any level to Philly, and what rumors came out before the Super Bowl about the future of Aaron Rodgers' playing career...? Jim, Matt and producer Primetime review their Don' Quote Me predictions from Friday, as they look back at who's longshot came anyway close to hitting the mark for the outcome of the game and Kendrick Lamar's halftime show. How loud were the sub-WOOF-ers in Jim's house when the entire Super Dome sang "a minorrrrrrr." Throwing Stones has Jim and Matt settle a new twitter beef -- Jim publicly criticizing Matt's pretty good tweet about the Chiefs vs Kendrick Lamar. They talk some more halftime shows during Crosstalk with the Great Dane Huddle, as Tarek Saleh rips off his wish list of Super Bowl halftime performers (including Doja Cat)!

Mark Tauscher joins Jim and Matt to share his thoughts on Sterling Sharpe finally getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Super Bowl LIX. What did Sterling mean to Tausch as a young Packers fan, and why's he so hung up on the fact that neither QB in the Super Bowl is playing on their rookie contract...? Also, who's Tausch got winning the Super Bowl, what are some of his favorite New Orleans-style cuisines, and which option is he choosing in today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Would you rather attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans or the Packers (possibly) playing in Ireland next season?

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton hold it down on a Phish Friday leading into the Super Bowl weekend. Throughout the show, they give their picks and predictions for Sunday's big game between the Chiefs & Eagles -- does witnessing greatness of a three-peat outweigh the "underdog" story, will Kendrick Lamar gives us an iconic halftime show, and how much Taylor Swift do we get? First, Jim and Matt celebrate the glorious news that Packers legend Sterling Sharpe has finally been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025! They listen to the heartwarming moment when Sterling got the news from his brother Shannon Sharpe, and Matt pulls on his curling experience with big sis Becca and how much it means for a sibling duo to achieve shared greatness! They also get into Ben Brust breaking big NFL news with the rumor that the Packers will be playing the Steelers in Ireland next season. Jim and Matt ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Would you rather attend Super Bowl week in New Orleans or make a trip to Ireland to watch the Packers? They also give their Don't Quote Me predictions for the Eagles vs Chiefs as well as Kendrick Lamar's halftime show (SB prop-bets edition)!

Jim Rutledge and Matt roll into Hour 2 of Phish Friday as they wrap up their final thoughts and predictions for Super Bowl LIX between the Eagles and the Chiefs. They also review last night's NFL Honors awards recipients and Matt explains why Saquon was snubbed (for Play for the Year). Mark Tauscher joins Jim and Matt to share his thoughts on Sterling Sharpe finally getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Super Bowl LIX. What did Sterling mean to Tausch as a young Packers fan, and why's he so hung up on the fact that neither QB in the Super Bowl is playing on their rookie contract...? Also, who's Tausch got winning the Super Bowl, what are some of his favorite New Orleans-style cuisines, and which option is he choosing in today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Would you rather attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans or the Packers (possibly) playing in Ireland next season? Jim and Matt go Poll Dancing, answering a slew of ESPN WI poll questions about the trade headlines of the week -- Khris Middleton and Myles Garrett alike! Matt wraps up the show with his recipe for a special Super Bowl sandwich (a KC Burnt Ends Cheesesteak Po' Boy) and they tease next Monday's special guest -- new Pro Football HOFer and celeb curler, Jared Allen!

Jason Wilde joins Jim and Matt after producer Primetime Wollersheim gets him on the phone late. Why did Prime blow up Jason's phone with text messages today, and is this why he can never find a date? They get Jason's thoughts on the ongoing Packers drama after Josh Jacobs said on Super Bowl radio row that they need a "true No. 1 WR", as well as why Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks were so offended even though Jacobs called out the team's need for another edge rusher and cornerback. They also get Jason's immediate thoughts on how Jordan Love commented on the situation while on NFL Live in New Orleans. Jason explains why all the questions about the team's need for a No. 1 WR only makes him believe more in the idea of brining Davante Adams back to Green Bay. Can Davante be the next man up in the long line of vet WRs who showed others the way? Jason also shares about a personal story about the passing of Bears owner Virginia McCaskey at the age of 102, which includes how she met Jason's nine-month-old daughter!

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton start Thursday's show with the Josh Jacobs & Packers WRs drama coming out of Super Bowl radio row! They analyze Jacobs' comments about the need for a "true No. 1 WR" along with Dontayvion Wicks' and Jayden Reed's negative responses to the topic on X/Twitter. They ask who's more in the wrong with today's first Siding Unlimited poll question: did Josh Jacobs or the Packers' WRs handle this situation worse? Josh Jacobs is correct in what he's saying, but Matt didn't like hearing him say it to the media. They also react live to Jordan Love's comments about the situation while on NFL Live down in New Orleans this afternoon... Did Jordan handle the situation wrong by going out of his way not to offend anyway, and does all of this put more pressure on Gutey to make a move this offseason? Jason Wilde joins Jim and Matt after producer Primetime Wollersheim gets him on the phone late. Why did Prime blow up Jason's phone with text messages today, and is this why he can never find a date?

Jim and Matt wrap up giving away a free case of High Life, which Matt threatens to drink before today's winner gets back from his trip to Hawaii!

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton continue discussing the ongoing drama between Josh Jacobs and the Packers' WRs after he said to pretty much everyone one at Super Bowl radio row that the team needs a "real No. 1". After getting Jason Wilde's opinion on Jordan Love's response to the situation, they delve further into the topic with a debate about who handled the situation better and they ask today's second Siding Unlimited poll question -- Who seems like a better leader for the Packers: Jordan Love or Josh Jacobs? Matt pulls a "Jill Stein" and abstains from answering the question. Jim gets some backup from a fellow Bears fan on the Carbliss talk/text line with their criticism of Jordan Love's "politically correct" answer, and Jim feels like a winner after hearing from his favorite fan, "Rutledge is an Idiot Guy". They play Molly's Game, picking sides in some "Big Game" prop bets/lines thrown out by Molly Brown (or at least her voice). Jim and Matt wrap up by recognizing "They Not Like Us"!

Gabe Neitzel joins Jim and Matt to help break down the impact and legacy of Khris Middleton after he was unofficially officially traded to the Wizards. First, they analyze how the fit of Kyle Kuzma and how he could realistically impact winning after averaging career-lows with the lowly Wizards. Matt asks Gabe about the realistic possibility of trading for Marquette legend Jimmy Butler, and how is Giannis react to losing a 12-year teammate in Khris, who was more like a brother.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton react to today's breaking news -- the Bucks are trading franchise legend Khris Middleton to the Wizards in exchange for Kyle Kuzma and some ancillary pieces. They recognize Khris' value as soon-to-be Bucks Hall of Famer and discuss how this impacts the Bucks relationship with Giannis? Is Matt validated in feeling like Giannis might "pull a Rodgers" and force his way out of Milwaukee after losing someone who he considered to be closer to a brother than just a teammate? Does adding a younger, cheapear player in Kuzma significantly improve the team's roster, or is this just a set up for another potential move before Thursday's deadline? They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Will the Bucks win another championship with Giannis? Gabe Neitzel joins Jim and Matt to help break down the impact and legacy of Khris Middleton after he was unofficially officially traded to the Wizards.
