Molly & Jim

Jim and Matt chat with Badgers volleyball player Devyn Robinson, who is actually a new part-time teammate at ESPN Madison, about becoming the new radio home of Badgers volleyball. They talk with Devyn about her experience as a UW volleyball player, the intricacies of the sport of volleyball, some of her gameday traditions, her championship bling, and finishing her undergraduate degree.

Jim joins forces with another Bears fan for a change, as David Kaplan of Kap and J.Hood on ESPN 1000 joins the show. Kap talks with Jim about their shared exuberance for their future HOF QB Caleb Williams, who they say will finish with more SB wins than Rodgers and Favre combined. Matt unsurprisingly bumps heads with "FIB" Kap, as Matt calls out the Bears "overrated" offensive skill players.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton begin Wednesday's DOUBLE GUEST show with Badgers volleyball player Devyn Robinson for an extended segment 1 before being joined by ESPN Chicago's David Kaplan in Hour 2! Jim and Matt chat with Devyn, who is actually a new part-time teammate at ESPN Madison, about becoming the new radio home of Badgers volleyball. They talk with Devyn about her experience as a UW volleyball player, the intricacies of the sport of volleyball, some of her gameday traditions, her championship bling, and finishing her undergraduate degree. Jim and Matt then get into a conversation about some of the possible QB contract extension dominoes set to fall this offseason, asking which QB will be the FIRST to sign an extension this offseason: Jordan Love, Jared Goff, or Trevor Lawrence? Hour 1 finishes with Minute to Win It, as Primetime asks Matt to give him the 15 multi-time MVP award winners in NBA history.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton open Hour 2 with Jim shouting out Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike for his great recommendation on yard restoration, and he and Matt get into the finer points of "lawn envy." Primetime also bumps in and scares the guys with Metro Kia Breaking News about Bucks forward THANASIS Antetokounmpo, who somehow tore his Achilles and needs surgery! Jim joins forces with another Bears fan for a change, as David Kaplan of Kap and J.Hood on ESPN 1000 joins the show. Kap talks with Jim about their shared exuberance for their future HOF QB Caleb Williams, who they say will finish with more SB wins than Rodgers and Favre combined. Matt unsurprisingly bumps heads with "FIB" Kap, as Matt calls out the Bears "overrated" offensive skill players. During Throwing Stones, Primetime asks if the Packers missing out on Ray Lewis in the 1996 NFL Draft was actually the team's biggest "what-if" and which all-time QB that Jim and Matt would like to hang out with. The show wraps up with a take from Mark Tauscher saying that Packers fans feel more "snake-bitten" than "cake-eating."

Jason Wilde joins Jim and Matt to discuss the impending BIG payday that many believe the Packers will award Jordan Love this offseason. Jason says why he doesn't expect this extension to get done anytime soon. Jason, Jim and Matt also compare Jordan Love to some of his peers who are also due for a big extension this offseason as well as some of the other highest-paid QBs in the NFL. Jason also takes issue with Matt saying he wouldn't be happy if Jordan Love only turns out to be Dak Prescott in his career.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton broadcast LIVE from BaraBrews Win & Spirits in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Jim starts the show LITERALLY yelling about the clouds, claiming that the Weather Channel and other weather news services pray on people's fears with overly dramatic weather advisories/warnings. Jim and Matt shift into the conversation about Jordan Love's extension, which he became eligible to sign last Friday. Jim predicts that the Packers will make Love the NFL's highest-paid QB (in terms of AAV), and Matt clams up at the idea of paying a QB over $55 million per year when there's such little sample size to go off of. Jim also pushes back against some listeners' "Lebron James stats" they are skewed or misrepresent Love's performance from his lone season as a starter. Primetime takes the guys through a blind Tinder Time, presenting the guys with the career stats of QBs BEFORE they signed extensions with AAVs that take up over 20% of their team's salary caps (like Jordan Love's likely will...)

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton continue LIVE from BaraBrews in Baraboo, as they talk about the NFL's highest-paid QB contracts while projecting Jordan Love's eventual extension this offseason. They review the result of today's poll question: Should the Packers make Jordan Love the NFL's highest-paid QB in terms of AAV? Jim continues to predict that's exactly what the Packers will end up doing, and Matt continues to hold the faith that Jordan Love will develop into a star-caliber QB. During Throwing Stones, Primetime asks the guys if NBA players would perform better in the NFL than vise versa, and the review Chris Canty's top-5 current players he'd want to build an NBA franchise around. Jason Wilde joins Jim and Matt to discuss the impending BIG payday that many believe the Packers will award Jordan Love this offseason. Jason says why he doesn't expect this extension to get done anytime soon. Jason, Jim and Matt also compare Jordan Love to some of his peers who are also due for a big extension this offseason as well as some of the other highest-paid QBs in the NFL. Jason also takes issue with Matt saying he wouldn't be happy if Jordan Love only turns out to be Dak Prescott in his career. Jim and Matt wrap up revisiting their NFL vs NBA player debate.

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton open the week after a very vanilla past weekend of sports. So, they get DEEP into the Roast of the GOAT Tom Brady that aired live on Netflix last night. During What Matt Missed, Jim and Primetime catch up Matt on some of the funniest and uncomfiest jokes from last night's roast. They also react to Jesse Nelson's TERRIBLE take on Wilde & Tausch this morning that roasts are dumb and not funny. Jim also recaps the poor performance from a DJ at the wedding he attended in Davis, Illinois/Wisconsin over the weekend. They wrap Hour 1 by asking whether or not Jesse Nelson actually has friends?

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton roll into Hour 2 of the roast of Jesse Nelson, and they react to some Metro Kia Breaking News: Jesse claims that he actually DOES have friends!! Jim and Matt debate whether or not Jesse is telling the truth and they roll through some roasts of themselves and other ESPN Madison teammates (current and former). They change athletes by talking about what a theoretical roast of Aaron Rodgers would look like: who's on the dais, what jokes are on the table, and why wouldn't it work? During Throwing Stones, Primetime asks the guys which of this past weekend's "hoitey toitey" sporting events they'd want to attend, what college football teams would be fits for the Arizona Bowl now sponsored by Snoop Dogg's Gin & Juice brand, and give Tom Brady an authenticity rating for his jokes in last night's Greatest Roast of All Time. The show wraps up on Crosstalk with the Great Dane Huddle, which is hosted by a very lonely Jesse Nelson...

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton hop on early for Cross-talk with the guys from Kyle, Brust and Nortman broadcasting live from the newly-opened Potawatomi Sportsbook. For maybe the first and only time ever, Jim and Kyle agree on something -- the Bucks need to get younger on more athletic after being bounced in the first-round of the playoffs for the second-year in a row!
