Molly & Jim

Jim, Matt & Molly continue on after giving Matt his delicious new nickname: Meat Candy Matt... Primetime drops the ball on the clock, so they quickly turn back to the conversation about if Brian Gutekunst or Matt LaFleur is more irreplaceable for the Packers? They run through the list of NFL head coaches who have and have not won Super Bowls, and they rank Matt LaFleur among the names in each group. They then pivot to the same format to see where Gutey ranks among the NFL's current GMs - or the ones that they can name at least... They wrap up on Throwing Stones, including a shoutout for America getting back against the cheating Russians, the crazy GOOD food prices at Falcons games, and Jim's refusing to go FULL RUTLEDGE when planning his camping trip.

Jason Wilde joins Jim Rutledge & Matt Hamilton. Jason begins by telling producer Primetime "no thank you" to his new intro song for Jason, and Matt tells Jason thank you for gifting him a hover curling set for the office! Jim also asks Jason if Gutey or Matt LaFleur is more valuable for the Packers and how quickly narratives can flip on GMs and head coaches. Matt asks if the Packers might actually have TOO MANY mouths to feed at WR, and is it okay if multiple guys think they're WR1? Jim finishes up asking Jason if kicker could end up costing the Packers a home playoff game (or even a playoff berth), and just HOW in shape is AJ Dillon?

Jim Rutledge & Matt Hamilton hold down the show while Molly Brown is off on a pregnancy assignment! Jim and Matt start by picking on the Packers' weakest links: the kicker competition between Anders Carlson and Greg Joseph and the QB2 battle between Sean Clifford and Michael Pratt. Should the Packers bet on the more experienced Joseph & Clifford or on the youth/upside of Carlson and Pratt? They ask fans who they'd rather have: Carlson, Joseph or NEITHER? Matt hates the idea of the Packers picking up the "Vikings scraps" in Joseph, and Jim stans for his fellow FAU alum. They also discuss if Josh Jacobs will meet expectations and fill the loss of Aaron Jones, and will Marshawn Lloyd become the new fan-favorite? What Matt Missed includes a certain cornerback who was offended by the NFL's Top 100 list, Mickey Mouse winning a race at the Olympics, and who was blinged out Big Ten Volleyball media days! And, why is Tim in Oregon freaking out on the talk/text line about Justin Herbert's plantar fasciitis?

Jim and Matt continue into Hour 2 by ironing out their 2nd poll question, asking which potential obstacle could end up costing the Packers a home playoff game: new defense with Jeff Hafley, replacing Aaron Jones with Josh Jacobs, unreliability at kicker, or too many mouths to feed at WR? Jim also makes the case the Matt LaFleur is more crucial to the team's success than Gutey. Jason Wilde joins Jim Rutledge & Matt Hamilton. Jason begins by telling producer Primetime "no thank you" to his new intro song for Jason, and Matt tells Jason thank you for gifting him a hover curling set for the office! Jim also asks Jason if Gutey or Matt LaFleur is more valuable for the Packers and how quickly narratives can flip on GMs and head coaches. Matt asks if the Packers might actually have TOO MANY mouths to feed at WR, and is it okay if multiple guys think they're WR1? Jim finishes up asking Jason if kicker could end up costing the Packers a home playoff game (or even a playoff berth), and just HOW in shape is AJ Dillon? Molly Brown calls in while she's off the show for today's Throwing Stones, including takes on the Super Bowl optimism for the Bears, the fantastic niche sports of the Olympics, and the Mean Girls remake/musical!

Jim, Matt & Molly broadcast live from the 2nd annual ESPN Madison Golf Outing at Bishop's Bay Country Club! With Matt finishing up his round, Jim & Molly hold it down for segment 1 with a recap of their takeaways from the Packers' Family Night practice at Lambeau Field on Sunday. They ask fans whether they'd attend Family Night or a Packers preseason game, and they ask what actually makes Family Night "special"? They also talk about the STAR of Family Night - Trace from Waupun football who stole the show by fielding three punts at once and getting mobbed by the entire Packers team. Molly shares her own personal connection to Trace's family, and Jim shares his disappoint that Primetime let KBN "scoop" the show for an appearance from Trace... Once Matt arrives, the three re-visit the viral clip from Evan Cohen's appearance on Friday's show when he proclaimed that he'd rather have Jordan Love over Aaron Rodgers this year! Jim, Matt & Molly put out a poll question asking if Love or Rodgers will have a better 2024 season, and they ask how Chewy of Jen, Gabe & Chewy managed to confuse Matt's voice with Greg Scalzo??? They wrap up Hour 1 with Rob in Madison hitting Jim with some questions about his confidence level in the Bears coach Matt Eberfus and GM Ryan Poles!

Jim, Matt & Molly continue into Hour 2 as Matt with playing into his "homer role" according to Jim Rutledge. Matt talks about his confidence in the Packers young corps of wide receivers and why he's not concerned about Dontayvion Wicks' lack of reps at Saturday's Family Night scrimmage, and Jim makes the case that Packers fans might be hyping Wicks too much and that he'll end up with a backseat behind guys like Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed. Jim and Matt recount how they did putting their golf balls on the fairway and into the hole during today's golf outing, and Matt provides play-by-play for "putt putt" swing of Jesse Nelson. They wrap up with Throwing Stones, including a shoutout for what makes Family Night "special", trackers in golf balls, and the rogues gallery of celebrities that NBC is rolling out for the Paris Olympics!

Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins for his bi-weekly appearance on the show. Jim asks if Evan agrees with his take that this year is the Packers' best chance to win a Super Bowl (while he's still on a manageable cap number), and Evan explains why he thinks Gutey has done a fantastic job building this team for the future. Matt is also flabbergasted by Evan's take that he'd take Jordan Love over Aaron Rodgers right now! Jim brings Evan back to his UW-Madison roots, asking Evan what his expectations are for transfer QB Tyler Van Dyke based on his time watching him at the University of Miami. Evan also gives his early wins prediction for the Badgers this season and if Fickell has a chance to take down Alabama at Camp Randall in the Crimson Tide's first season without Nick Saban!

Jim, Matt & Molly open up Phish Friday with a massive thank you to the fans who joined in-person for the ESPN Wisconsin Fantasy Football Draft in Wauwatosa last night! Molly shouts out the fans for making JM&M the "most fun table" of any ESPN WI show, and Jim starts kicking out punishment ideas. Matt also revisits his lesson about falling for the snacks phishing email from "Jesse Nelson". Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins for his bi-weekly appearance on the show.

Jim, Matt & Molly roll into Hour 2 of a relaxing Phish Friday when things once again get heated when talking Badgers. Jim revisits their win predictions from last week and he DOUBLES DOWN on his take that the Badgers are a 10-win team (including the bowl game)! Molly stands firm that the team might take a jump but still win just 7 games (including the bowl game) because of their harder schedule in the new-look Big Ten. Matt makes his case for tempered faith in Fickell. Was the Badgers culture, injury issues, and depth so bad last season that any improvement will get them two more guaranteed wins? Molly's Game includes betting lines about how many weeks will Jim remain engaged in the JM&M Fantasy Football League, will Team USA cover 34.5 points versus Puerto Rico, and how will Lebron perform against PR? Poll Dancing includes questions about Jim, Matt & Molly's weekend plans, the best offensive skill position group in the NFC North, and are you ALL-IN on the Packers' Winter Warning all-white uniform and white helmet alternates combo?
