Molly & Jim

Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 as they continue talking all things Packers vs Bears week in Jim Rutledge's absence today -- primarily, brainstorming punishments for whichever members' team loses this Sunday? If it's gonna be a food bet, what should everyone have to eat -- Molly and salmon, Matt and mayonnaise, Jim and fried fish??? They play For Real or Phony, listening to the comments from head coaches Matt LaFleur & Ben Johnson when it comes to the rivalry, Johnson's offseason smack talk, and the difference for this year's matchup with both teams atop the division & the NFC! During Throwing Stones, they get anxious about Giannis' loyalty to the Bucks after he scrubbed his Instagram of post about the team --- after losing 8 of the last 9 games, is it a matter of time before Milwaukee's star asks out???

Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown hold it down with Jim out for the day because he can't take the HEAT of Packers vs Bears week (and because today is his daughter's birthday)!

But, will other Packers fans be judging Molly more for looking like the Packers fans who brought two Bears friends to the game?? They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Would you attend this game at Lambeau Field with a fan from the opposing team?

He provides the dazzling details -- from where and how to sit with your father-in-law in bed to who leads who upstairs -- while Jim & Matt understandably have a lot of questions. They ask today's first Siding Unlimited poll question -- Who is the most awkward relative that you could imagine laying in bed with to watch Thanksgiving football?
