Molly & Jim

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown are rejoined by their traveling co-host Matt "Hanada", who's still in Alberta, Canada for the Pan-Continental Curling Championship. First Jim and Molly start the show discussing if the Packers are the best 6-2 team in the NFL (versus the Commanders, Texans and Bills), and they discuss how they expect these four teams to trend either up or down going forward. Matt updates the show at today's game against Team Shuster's bitter rival Canada, and he clowns Jim on the Bears' Hail Mary loss to Commanders (even though it's not a "real rivalry"). Jim puts Matt on the hot seat with his "neat" facts about Jordan Love's performance this season compared to expectations, and Molly has Matt tell his story about getting ripped off by the meter maids in Red Deer, Alberta! They play an impromptu What Matt Missed, reliving the Bears' dramatic loss to the Commanders and one specific player's sad flight home after the game. They wrap up the show with Throwing Stones, including their best "rivalry-related" stones: Packers vs Bears compared to vs Lions/Vikings/49ers, Jim vs KBN, and Molly versus the Kay Adams Show!

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown hold down the show with Matt Hamilton away at the Pan-Continental Curling Championship in Canada. They get into the Packers' 30-27 win versus the Jaguars despite losing Jordan Love to a strained groin in the second half. Jim pushes back against Mark Tauscher's take that he'd be confident in the Packers beating the Lions even if Malik Willis has to start this coming Sunday at Lambeau Field! Primetime and the fans also subject Jim to re-live the Bears brutal loss on a last-second Hail Mary versus the Commanders, and they get ask whether Aaron Rodgers is becoming the new go-to example for all-time athletes who washed out after leaving their longtime team. They also play this week's Green & Gold Blind Rankings, where Primetime has Jim and Molly blind rank the three Packers players who were either the three biggest topics of conversation coming into OR out of the game! They also review the show's Don't Quote Me predictions for Packers-Jaguars, including a NEARLY perfect Josh Jacobs touchdown prediction and Rashan Gary's continued lack of production.

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown continue to hold it down while Matt Hamilton is away for the Pan-Continental Curling Championship in Canada. Jim and Molly continue talking about the Packers nerve-racking win versus the Jaguars after Jordan Love suffered a groin strain. Can the Packers win again if it's Malik Willis starting versus the Lions? They also continue to talk about the washed king Aaron Rodgers and his lost season with the Jets. They shift into the Badgers' devastating 281-3 loss to the Penn State on Saturday at Camp Randall. Molly wants to know if Camp Randall under the lights matched the energy of the big game, so they invite in Riley Jauch to share his experience from the student section while Jim and Prime give their in-stadium perspective as well. Did Braedyn Locke kill the game with his back-breaking pick-six in the second half? Primetime gets the fans to chime in on whether Jim deserved to be confused with Dario Melendez by a confused Mark Chmura on JGC this morning. During Throwing Stones, Jim and Molly delve deeper into Bears fans pain in their brutal hail mary loss to the Commanders!

Jason Wilde makes his weekly appearance to weigh in on the major topic of the day: Which matters more, the Packers game or the Badgers game? He elaborates on the lack of "sexiness" in the Packers matchup with the Jaguars. He speaks on Robert Saleh's impact on the Green and Gold and whether or not he agrees with the notion if the Packers have the most attractive coaching staff. Finally he tells some stories on his time as a reporter in Madison and how Wisconsin football lacked any sort of buzz before the arrival of Barry Alvarez.

It's just Jim and Molly on this Friday as even Prime Time is out with Riley producing in his stead. Ultimately the crew wants to know, which game are people more excited for this weekend? The Packers heading down to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars or the Badgers hosting #3 Penn State on Saturday. Jim and Riley are all about the Badgers, firing off some... optimistic takes, whereas Molly is in on the Green and Gold. Jason Wilde joins to give his two cents before a surprise appearance from Ben Brust wraps up the first hour!

Jim & Molly kick off the second hour of the program talking about how much former players liked Mr. Rutledge and were willing to hang out with him. Another fiery edition of Poll Dancing featuring a video of Prime Time shortly follows. Poll Dancing incites arguments on how to pronounce Jaguars and solves the question if soup is a meal. A brief recap of the days topics sends you into your weekend!

Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins Jim, Matt & Molly ahead of Sunday's Packers game vs the Jaguars and Saturday's Badgers game vs No. 3 Penn State! Jim gets Evan's thoughts on today's poll question -- is it most accurate to say that the Packers have a top-5 team, a top-5 defense or a top-5 QB? Is it safe to say that Jordan Love takes too many risks because he is TOO confident? They also asks Evan which of his predictions is he more confident in: the Bucks winning the Finals this season or Dame winning regular season MVP? Evan also chimes in on Robert Saleh's surprise appearance at Packers practice yesterday -- could Saleh be Jeff Hafley's success as DC (for good or bad reasons), or is Matt LaFleur just doing a solid for his best friend and best man? They start and end with Matt explains why he was swearing at Evan in his dreams last night and he explains why he can pull off buttoning the top button on a polo shirt!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown are all back in one place -- despite Molly's attempts to "gaslight" Jim into thinking that he wasn't on the show this Thursday! They start the show diving into Matt's near-miss on the show today, as he almost came through with a hole in one on the golf course this afternoon. Jim also addresses Matt's colorful shirt -- which is so loud that it would drown out Fred Flinstone. They shift into a conversation stemming from Robert Saleh's surprise appearance at Packers practice yesterday -- Is it more accurate to say that the Packers have a top-5 team, a top-5 defense or a top-5 QB this season? Is Jordan Love TOO confident and throwing too many picks to be a top-5 QB, and how much do we buy into the team's defense and record given their scant strength of schedule this season.

Jim, Matt & Molly wrap the show with the High Life Dive Bar of the Week: the Pub at Pleasant Springs, where we love to chase a Bloody Mary with a Wisconsin "snit" of Miller High Life!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 of their final show all in the same place for about 4 months! They start with a "fan's" voicemail giving his constructive criticism of Jim's unbiased sports criticisms, and Jim explains why he lets the haters fuel him! Molly continues to read some show fan mail from the talk/text line, including a creative analogy for the show's look on YouTube -- a military wife, a deep sea fisherman, and a drunk orchestra conductor! AC in Tosa calls in with some actual compliments for Jim and the show, and, since Matt can't read, Molly takes over Throwing Stones with some more glowing remarks from the talk/text line!

Mark Tauscher joins Jim and Matt ahead of the Badgers upcoming massive home game against No. 3 Penn State! First, Matt needs to know if Tausch calls it pop or soda and Jim asks Tausch for his expertise on the beer sales at Camp Randall. Tausch gets so excited that producer Primetime drops his call! When he returns, Jim and Matt asks Tausch for the Badgers' keys to victory versus the Nittany Lions, and Tausch explains why this will be the offensive line's biggest test of the season! How do the Badgers have to win in the trenches? Plus, Jim talks with Tausch about Jordan Love's place among NFL QBs, is it crazy to think that Jeff Hafley could be hired as a HC if the Packers make the Super Bowl, and what's up with Robert Saleh at Packers practice? They wrap up talking about the Bucks ahead of their season opener -- which of Evan Cohen's predictions is more likely: the Bucks win the Finals or Dame wins regular season MVP?
