Molly & Jim

Jason Wilde joins Molly Brown and Alex Gravatt to discuss Packers fans enjoyment at watching the Bears dysfunction and Barry Alvarez ripping into "the basketball player" Ben Brust. Jason first asks G how he's doing after missing Barry's debut as the title member of the Great Dane Huddle and Jesse setting him up to tear into Ben Brust. They also talk with Jason about his take on Wilde & Tausch this morning that, since he's not a Packers fan, he actually feels bad for Bears fans after the team showed its continued dysfunction by demoting its OC today. Are fans getting too caught up in Bears fans misery and looking past Sunday's game as an actual contest?

Molly Brown and Alex Gravatt hold it down with Matt Hamilton away in San Diego and Jim Rutledge on his way back from Oklahoma. Molly has Alex G give her the recap of his food poisoning that caused him to miss hosting last night's Great Dane Huddle with Barry Alvarez, where Barry was sick of hearing from basketball player Ben Brust. Molly and G get into a different hot seat after the Packers opponent this week changed play-callers. With the Bears demoting their OC Shane Waldron — just as Jim Rutledge predicted — Molly and G get into Packers' fans joy from watching their rival in misery, asking which team's fanbase do Packers fans enjoy watching fail the most: the Bears, Jets or 49ers? Chicago is the ultimate archrival, but are the Jets with Aaron Rodgers and the playoff boogeyman 49ers more disliked by Packers fans? G also asks Molly which team she remembers enjoying the most when the Packers beat them and the teams who hurt her the most.

Molly Brown and Alex Gravatt continue to host the show with over-the-phone check-ins from the other usual hosts — first Matt Hamilton and then Jim Rutledge. They tee off with Matt in a white van from San Diego, who calls in to talk about today's poll question on which team's fanbase that Packers fans enjoying watching fail the most: the Bears, the Jets or the 49ers. Matt and other listeners make a strong case for the Vikings, and G makes a weak case for returning to a place that gave him food poisoning. Molly and G talk with Jim about his correct Don't Quote Me prediction that the Bears would demote OC Shane Waldron for Thomas Brown and what it means for this Sunday's Packers vs Bears game. They also talk about Barry Alvarez response to "basketball player" Ben Brust, who's "impatient" about the football program under Luke Fickell. Molly and the show struggle through some technical difficulties while G compares the dedication of Packers fans and Badgers fans when travelling for road games. They wrap up with Throwing Stones, includes G's case for supporting local (even when it gives you food poisoning) and Molly's rant against popcorn.

Molly Brown and Matt Hamilton are joined by David Kaplan of ESPN Chicago on the same day as his viral phone interview with hot-seated Bears HC Matt Eberflus. After some ironic connection issues, they talk with Kap about Eberflus' lack of connection (both over the phone and with his team) as well as the team's embarrassing 19-3 loss at home versus the Patriots. Molly also gets a vibe check from Kap on the Bears' franchise, the morale of the team after falling to 4-5 this season, and the worry-level for their franchise-saving QB Caleb Williams, who can't do much when he's constantly laying on his back. Matt also talks with Kap how the Packers-Bears game this Sunday will impact his birthday plans in Las Vegas this Sunday and their hot-sauce bet with Matt versus Jim & Kap in this year's Packers-Bears games.

Molly Brown and Matt Hamilton hold it down hosting the show without Jim Rutledge, who's out in Oklahoma on Monday and Tuesday. Molly and Matt catch up on their thoughts from this Sunday's NFL action during the Packers' bye week. The Vikings and Lions pushed out wins despite 8 combined interceptions from QBs Sam Darnold and Jared Goff, and the Bears got embarrassed with a 19-3 loss to the Patriots in Chicago. With the Packers heading into their first game of the season against the Bears, they ask if the NFC North is still the best division in football or did the division's flaws get exposed this weekend? They compare the NFC North to some of the other divisions in the NFL and decide if any come close to the best? Molly and Matt are then joined by Jim Rutledge over the phone to talk about the Bears hitting rock bottom after the loss to New England, and will Jim's prediction about Bears OC Shane Waldron come true before the end of the day? Jim also slams Matt & Molly for their question asking if the NFC North got exposed, and they discuss if the Lions and Vikings showed impressive resilience with wins despite some awful QB play. Should Packers fans have any reason to worry about the Bears heading into Sunday's game in Chicago? Matt & Molly wrap up with a review of the Don't Quote Me predictions heading into this past weekend's games.

Molly Brown and Matt Hamilton roll into Hour 2 of the show without Bears fan Jim Rutledge, but they've got another Bears fan to fill-in with David Kaplan of ESPN Chicago. After some ironic connection issues, they talk with Kap about his viral phone interview with Bears head coach Matt Eberflus this morning. They talk to Kap about if it was more embarrassing for the Bears to lose 19-3 versus the Patriots or for Eberflus to not have a cell phone with a reliable signal? Molly also gets a vibe check from Kap on the Bears' franchise, the morale of the team after falling to 4-5 this season, and the worry-level for their franchise-saving QB Caleb Williams, who can't do much when he's constantly laying on his back. Matt also talks with Kap how the Packers-Bears game this Sunday will impact his birthday plans in Las Vegas this Sunday and their hot-sauce bet with Matt versus Jim & Kap in this year's Packers-Bears games. Throwing Stones includes takes on two random(ish) Olympic topics, Primetime's bang-up audio producing, the reeling Cowboys bathing in the light at AT&T Stadium, and beer prices in California. Jim and Molly wrap up with a review of today's poll questions and their early predictions for this coming Sunday's game.

Jason Wilde joins Jim and Molly to say hi to Jim for the second time today after he also called into Wilde & Tausch, hosted by Jim and Jesse Nelson, this morning. Molly says hi to Jason for the first time this week, so she asks Jason for his analysis of the news that Preston Smith actually requested a trade from the Packers almost three weeks before the trade deadline. Would Preston still have been traded even if he hadn't request as much? Jim also asks Jason to answer today's poll question about whether it's more likely that the Packers finish first or last in the NFC North this season, and they preview next week's "pivotal game" versus the Bears in Chicago. Also, what might the Packers change about their offense during the bye week to possibly play more likely the Lions, and how can Matt LaFleur get Jordan Love to finally reign in the interceptions this season?

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown hold it down on this Phish Friday while Matt Hamilton continues his curling trip at the Canadian Open. Jim asks people not to pat him on the back too much for doing his 5th and 6th hours of radio after stepping in to co-host Wilde & Tausch with Jesse Nelson this morning. Molly gives her usual update from the zoo, and with Evan Cohen patting Jim on the back for his "annoying but right" assessment of Jordan Love, they ask the fans who is the most "annoying but right" person in their life: their significant other, their parents, their siblings, or Jim Rutledge? They transition into today's poll question: with the Packers on bye this weekend and now sitting squarely behind the Lions and the Vikings in the NFC North, they ask if it's more likely that the Packers finish first or last in the division this season? Primetime gives his nerd stats according to ESPN Analytics, Jim presents his tiers of the teams in the NFC, and Molly gets annoyed at the troll that is Amon-Ra St. Brown for lumping all Packers fans into one "delusional" group.

Jim and Molly finish up Hour 1 with Jim's new-look social media game on Threads and whether he might done some threads as Santa Clause for his kids this Christmas!

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown start Hour 2 with the hall monitor Jesse Nelson stepping into the studio to keep them in line and keep Primetime from planting naughty words in people's heads! With no Packers or Badgers games this weekend, Jim, Molly, Jesse and Prime all give their Don't Quote Me predictions for this weekend's NFL, CFB, and Volleyball predictions! Molly also makes the case for her Jared Goff-Ryan Gosling comp! Jim and Molly have just enough time to give their muffin top thoughts during Poll Dancing!

Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown to discuss his show's discourse on Jordan Love from this week. Did Molly accidentally plagarize someone (again) with her Jordan Love-Josh Allen take that sounds suspiciously like Michelle Smallmon's, and what's on Matt LaFleur's plate other than fixing Jordan Love (like actually what does he eat)? Evan gives Jim his flowers for being annoying but arguably right on Jordan Love, and he explains why Love looks like an MVP but just not the one that we were expecting. Also what's harder, doing a show with Jim Rutledge or hosting a show from home while 8.5 months pregnant (how about both)?
