Molly & Jim

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown return from Matt and Molly's terrible showing in Minute to Win It with and even WORSE take from Ben Brust, who went after our poll question today asking if the Bucks 2021 Finals championship feels like a fluke three years later. Jim calls out Ben's lack of context. He, Matt and Molly also react to the news that JJ Reddick is finally nearing a deal to become the Lakers' new head coach. Matt starts talking about his bar league volleyball game later tonight, so Matt, Molly and Rob in Madison also try to humble Matt by tempering his athletic bravado in both volleyball and softball.

Jim, Matt and Molly cross talk with the Great Dane Huddle, hosted by Jesse Nelson and Badgers Volleyball star Devyn Robinson. Devyn helps Jim and Molly devise challenges to undermine Matt's OVER-confidence in his bar league volleyball skills.
