Molly & Jim

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown hold it down with Matt Hamilton once away again curling. Molly updates the craziness that's going on at the zoo that is her household and why she keeps seeing Jim as a suggested friend on Facebook. They reflect on some audio from Dan Orlovsky from Unsportsmanlike and tap into Packers' fans positive memories of Jordan Love, asking if they believe Jordan Love will play like at MVP down the 2nd half of the season for the 2nd year in a row? 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)? Jim and Molly continue discussing the Jordan Love MVP conversation and try to find a benchmark game from this season that best represents Love at his best and Love at his average standard. They wrap up with the High Life Dive Bar of the Week and Primetime's best pony karaoke.

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 with Molly's paranoia that she might've plagarized a her Jordan Love-Josh Allen take from Michelle Smallmon, and she accuses Prime of ripping off Gabe Neitzel. They play Molly's Game, including all non-football bets since the Packers and Badgers are both on a bye week. They picks sides on this weekend's Badgers Volleyball action, the terrible Bucks vs the terrible Jazz, and how Andrew Jackson would do if he played wing for the Bucks. They transition into Throwing Stones, including takes on the stupid Illinois tollways, a sick Thursday Night Football uniform matchup, and the miracle that is childbirth. Jim and Molly wrap up the show with their risque stage names...

Mark Tauscher joins Jim and Molly to discuss the Packers trading Preston Smith at the trade deadline yesterday and the reeling Badgers football team after last week's 42-10 loss to Iowa. First, Tausch has a visceral response to Matt Hamilton's most recent "ridiculous" take focused on the Packers trading Preston Smith. What does Tausch think about yesterday's poll question asking fans how they feel about he Packers philosophy regarding trades and free agency. They switch into what the 5-4 Badgers can do during this bye week to turn things around before welcoming No. 1 Oregon to Camp Randall on Saturday, Nov. 16, and Molly asks Tausch what he believes is the Badgers identity at its best. They wrap up asking NBA guy Tausch for his vibe check on the 1-6 Bucks is the panic-meter finally ramping up for real regarding Giannis' time in Milwaukee?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown come back together to discuss the Packers selling at the trade deadline yesterday and where the stand in the NFC after other playoff contenders made moves to get better. What did trading Preston Smith signal to "unplugged" Matt Hamilton while he's been in Canada curling, and they modify their weekly question about which statement best describes the Packers, changing their qualifiers from Top-5 to Top-10 defense, team, or QB? They play What Matt Missed, including some harsh takes about a possibly jaded QB talking about his old team's philosophy on draft picks, a Super Bowl champion who's sick of blowing smoke up fans' butts, and a real take on a historic rivalry. They wrap up Hour 1 with Minute To Win It, as Jim and Primetime quiz Matt & Molly on how much they paid attention to the trade deadline talk from the start of today's show, asking for the 8 NFL players that were traded on deadline day!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 and roll back to today's Poll question, asking if the Packers can be best described as a top-10 team, a top-10 defense, or having a top-10 QB this season, and Molly almost pukes in her mouth when she hears Jim's favorite QB stat. Matt Hamilton sticks around for Throwing Stones before going to throw some actual stones in curling, as JM&M throw out takes about the sliding Bucks, if Giannis could be on the way out in the next 12 months, and the wonders of crockpot season.

Jim and Molly take home the show with a deep dive into sidewalk markers in the winter and the legacy of trolls in Mount Horeb!

Kevin Bozeman joins Jim and Molly on an all-around hectic day (both in sports and America overall)! They talk with Kevin about his upcoming shows in Madison and his time living in small-town Jefferson, Wisconsin as a Bears and Chicago sports fan in general. Kevin talks about Chicago sports teams handing out disappointments like Oprah handing out prizes, "pulling an Eberflus", and where is he starting to take joy Kevin in the "cracks in Jordan Love's game" and Khris Middleton's retirement-looking hairline... They also touch on Kevin's career and playstyle as a basketball player at UW-Whitewater, what's the difference (or lack thereof) between towns like Jefferson and Ft. Atkinson, where are the suburbs located in Platteville!

Jason Wilde joins a solo Jim Rutledge on Jim, Jim & Jim. Jim talks to Jason fresh off of Brian Gutekunst's trade deadline press conference, talking about the Packers trading away their only old veteran Preston Smith to the Steelers and why the team's young defensive linemen will need to start stepping up in his absence. They also talk about Gutey's overall philosophy about trades and why it made sense to deal Preston like they did Rasul Douglas last year despite being a clear playoff contender this season. Jim also asks Jason for his thoughts on Jordan Love's continuing turnover issues and the balance between being too aggressive versus to conservative. With the NFL Trade deadline and the Presidential Election falling on the same day, Jim asks Jason how he is relaxing from the chaos of today, and would he rather avoid the election coverage news or talking about his producer Jesse Nelson's birthday?

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown hold it down for NFL Trade deadline day when the Packers were DEALERS for the second year in a row, trading Preston Smith to the Steelers for a 7th-round pick. Jim and Molly discuss Green Bay choosing to trade away Smith despite being clear playoff contenders this year unlike last year when they traded Rasul Douglas. They comapre the Packers decision to the Lions, who acquired old NFC North friend Za'Darius Smith, and the Steelers, Ravens, Vikings and other playoff contenders who all acquired players at the deadline. They also ask if the Packers fans to describe how they feel (frustrated, confused, or annoyed) about the team's overall philosophy and general lack of aggression surrounding trades and free agency?

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown continue into Hour 2 after yet another hilarious appearance from standup comedian Kevin Bozeman! They talk touch on the biggest news story of the day (outside of the NFL trade deadline and Jess Nelson's birthday), as Jim compares Primetime to the analytics/stats guy who does all the election coverage. Would Prime pull more ladies if he looked like Steve Kornacki, and why is he putting down the demo of Molly's love life? Molly sticks around for Throwing Stones before dipping early for some family business, as she and Jim throw out takes on how long you can survive without caffeine, the iconic brother & sister? commercial from Folgers, and everyone needs to quit trying to poll the election on their personal social media.

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown are all back together (from separate locations) to react to the Packers' embarrassing 24-14 loss to the Lions at Lambeau Field. The Packers got dominated by the Lions for the fifth time in the last six games, but should fans be more concerned with the mistakes from Jordan Love or the wide receivers who all seem to have the dropsies? They also educate Molly on the intricacies of a celebrity Hall Pass. They play Green & Gold Blind rankings, as Primetime asks Jim, Matt & Molly to blind rank either the three Packers players who were talked about the most coming into OR coming out of Sunday's game. Matt wraps up Hour 1 with a story about why he didn't have to watch Jordan Love's most recent pick-six because he had to go on a trek for the best pizza in Canada!
