Molly & Jim

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 as they continue review fan suggestions for Jim's next set of vanity license plates -- PPLIKME, ITISSS, or ULIKEME! Also, please send all suggestions for Matt's theoretical vanity plates to the ESPN Milwaukee Carbliss Talk/Text Line, and do you name your car and other inanimate objects! They get into some real sports conversation with For Real or Phony (per Matt's request in his after hours work call to producer Primetime). They review Doc Rivers' pregame and Giannis' postgame comments from last nights win versus the Knicks, as they both cast aside questions about the reports of offseason trade interest around Giannis & New York. Does Giannis (and do we) truly believe this Bucks team "is built exactly how it's supposed to be built to win games"? During Throwing Stones, we dive deeper into the etiquette around late-nigh work messages, as Molly got a 12:01 am text from someone she manages. Jim also reveals his IPT? behaviors at the gas pump. Jim, Matt & Molly wrap up with an unresolved conclusion to Jim's vanity plate saga!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown open Wednesday's show gawking at everyone's outfits for the show today, including the Matt's sweater superiority. Speaking of costumes, why do Matt & his wife still re-enact their wedding photos every anniversary? They get into the meat of today's show - Jim's vanity (license plates), as they crowdsource suggestions for what new nametag he should get on his big blue truck from Symdon Chevy! What would come to your mind when you see PPLIKME on a plate, and what's the meaning behind newest content teammate, Owen's, vanity plate that says DIMPS? Also, in honor of Luke Fickell's favorite T.E.A.M. acronym, what message SHOULD Fickell got on his license plates -- Not4Long, PD4by Bucky, $shorttimer, & more! They also get a suggestion from ESPN WI honorary producer Ron in the Kee, who finds a fun new strategy for Jim to bother his favorite show, KBN... During Throwing Stones, Jim & producer Primetime quiz Matt & Molly on the HOT 3-1 Milwaukee Bucks, asking them to name as many of the 18 players on the current 2025-26 roster!

Jason Wilde joins Jim & Matt to talk about the Packers' anti-climactic revenge game versus Aaron Rodgers as well as & Jordan Love's burgeoning MVP case coming from Packers fans after the big win! They discuss if Sunday Night Football versus Rodgers felt more like the end of a messy divorce or Jim's comparison of an unconscious uncoupling (ie Gwyneth Paltrow). How was it different than the games against Brett Favre when he played for the Vikings, and what if Minnesota had given Rodgers a serious look this past offseason? They also get into the Packers' trend of underwhelming 1st halves and impressive 2nd halves and whether the inconsistency all come back to the arm of Jordan Love. Can Love be a real MVP candidate, is he more valuable to this team than Micah Parsons, and is he a better QB than Jared Goff right now or in the longterm? Matt also proves himself to be less reliable than Google AI when talking about Goff!

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton carry on from their Hour 1 conversation with Jason Wilde and the discourse surrounding Jordan Love as a potential MVP candidate (according to Packers fans), and the look back at the results of today's first Siding Unlimited poll question: What would YOU bet your money on — Jordan Love to win MVP or Micah Parsons to win DPOY? They also get into the HOT conversation about when to turn the heat on during the winter/fall, including the dramatics from Jim's daughter and producer Primetime's mother when it gets to be 66 degrees inside. They ask today's second Siding Unlimited poll question: When do you turn the heat on in your house/apartment? They turn their attention to the sad state of Badgers football, hearing Mark Chmura's comments about the "lack of attention" and non-serious approach of the program among the increasing amount of head-coach firings around college football. They also get into the story that leading UW booster Ted Kellner is adamant in his support of embattled head coach Luke Fickell and AD Chris McIntosh -- is this a sign of an unserious program? Also, how did Fickell's lack of a plan or vision for the program lead to this 2-6 season, and has McIntosh's lack of attention to NIL left them in a hole they can't dig out of? During Throwing Stones, Matt tells us about the etiquette of jersey swapping in curling after Aaron Rodgers & Jordan Love chose to jersey swap off the field after Sunday night's game. Would Matt embrace showing off the dad bod on WORLDWIDE television? They wrap up discussing if Jordan Love (+1800) will finish the season higher or lower in the MVP odds than his current standing of No. 8!

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton hold it down while Molly Brown is out for early trick or treating with the kiddos. Jim and Matt dive into the increasing sentiments from Packers fans that Jordan Love could be a legitimate MVP candidate after he slayed his predecessor Aaron Rodgers this past Sunday. They discuss Love's chances to actually win MVP compared to the other star Micah Parsons, who's the favorite to win DPOY. They ask today's first Siding Unlimited poll question: What would YOU bet your money on — Jordan Love to win MVP or Micah Parsons to win DPOY? They discuss if Love should the same tier of MVP candidates as his division rival, Jared Goff, and how much a team's record factor into individual awards like MVP & DPOY. But first, they get into nitty gritty of Jim's not-so illustrious high school football career that led to his not-so serious arthritis today! Jason Wilde joins Jim & Matt to talk about the Packers' anti-climactic revenge game versus Aaron Rodgers as well as & Jordan Love's burgeoning MVP case coming from Packers fans after the big win! They discuss if Sunday Night Football versus Rodgers felt more like the end of a messy divorce or Jim's comparison of an unconscious uncoupling (ie Gwyneth Paltrow). How was it different than the games against Brett Favre when he played for the Vikings, and what if Minnesota had given Rodgers a serious look this past offseason? They also get into the Packers' trend of underwhelming 1st halves and impressive 2nd halves and whether the inconsistency all come back to the arm of Jordan Love. Can Love be a real MVP candidate, is he more valuable to this team than Micah Parsons, and is he a better QB than Jared Goff right now or in the longterm? Matt also proves himself to be less reliable than Google AI when talking about Goff!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 after going long in their first hour reaction to the Packers' BIG 35-25 win against the Steelers & Aaron Rodgers on Sunday Night Football. So, they quickly review the results of their second Siding Unlimited poll question: What’s a better reflection of who this Packers team is — the 1st Half vs Pittsburgh or the 2nd Half vs Pittsburgh? They finally get around to talking about the depressing Wisconsin Badgers' offense after their surprisingly close 21-7 loss to No. 6 Oregon, leading to a brainstorm for an equally depressing show punishment for one person who will have to go solo to the game versus Illinois and Bert Bielema in 3 weeks! During Throwing Stones, Molly throws everyone off by telling us about the FLAVORS of hand soap that she got in a HAUL from Bath & Body Works! Jim, Matt & Molly wrap up Crosstalking with Jesse Nelson ahead of the Barry Alvarez Show live from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse -- What is Jesse's favorite desert-flavored soap/lotion & when was the last time that Badgers football smelt like winning?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamtilton & Molly Brown are all back together for a Molly Victory Monday after the Green Bay Packers beat down their old quarterback Aaron Rodgers & the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football! They react to Green Bay's 35-25 win, including whether the team met their 3 criteria -- Did Jordan Love look like a true $55M QB, does Green Bay look like a true Super Bowl team after improving to 5-1-1, and was Micah Parsons a true DPOY candidate? They also get into the feeling for Packers fans of playing against their old quarterback, leading today's first Siding Unlimited poll question: Did last night’s win against Aaron Rodgers feel like the end of a Conscious Uncoupling or a Messy Divorce for the Packers? Jim also tells us the one person at ESPN Madison who he'd like to consciously avoid dressing like at all costs! They get back to the Packers, diving deeper into Jordan Love's big night and whether he looks like a legitimate MVP candidate at this point of the season. They wrap up reviewing their Don't Quote Me predictions from ahead of Sunday's game, including whether this will go down as the Jordan Love or the Tucker Kraft game, and are we concerned that there could be a legit kicker controversy between Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik?

Get ready to laugh and talk all things Wisconsin sports with Jim, Matt & Molly! Join this dynamic trio featuring Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton, and Molly Brown for a hilarious take on everything fans want to hear about on their drive home.

Jim Rutledge & Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 of this Phish Friday leading into the Aaron Rodgers Bowl this Sunday night, as the Packers face the Steelers in Pittsburgh. First, they need to hear how Jim's field trip to surprise his daughter at school went this afternoon! Jim was a surprise guest reader for the class, so he does his best re-enactment reading from Peanut Butter and Cupcakes! They make it back to sports by reviewing the early results of today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Have Aaron Rodgers’ comments this week changed the way you think about him? They cast aside the touchy feeling to call their shots with their Don't Quote Me predictions for Sunday's revenge game (on National Tight Ends Day)! They also play Molly's Game, as she has Jim & producer Primetime pick a side on a platter of Potawatomi Sportsbook bets for the NBA and NFL this weekend. Molly also finds inspiration for her Halloween costume this year -- looking back at the small-potatoes, lil cocaine-dealing local news star in Milwaukee. They wrap up with Poll Dancing, as producer Primetime asks one Aaron Rodgers poll question for the final word of the week!

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown hold it down on Phish Friday before the Green Bay Packers face their old QB in this non-revenge game for Aaron Rodgers. First, they need to address some much more imminent swinging news. One of their officemates said she met a swinger at a networking event this week, but the non-NSFW kind -- she's just swinging for exercise. They ask an unofficial Siding Unlimited poll question: what's the weirdest forms of at-home exercise methods, and do you know any adults who work out on a swingset??? Prancer-cize, shakeweights, and more! Jason Wilde joins Jim & Molly to talk about Aaron Rodgers and his non-revenge game versus the Packers this Sunday. First, they need to get Jason's input on swinging (for exercise) and the weirdest at-home exercises that his parents ever partook in when he was a youngin. They get into the Sunday Night Football matchup and Rodgers' heartwarming Zoom press conference with Green Bay media yesterday, when Jason got shut out from asking a question. They dive deeper into the lack of interesting or inflammatory comments from Aaron Rodgers this week. Is it impossible to resist Aaron's charisma, has he learned from his past mistakes of being overly vocal in the media, and is he winning back the hearts of Packers fans this week? They also discuss the emotional stakes for this game on both sides of the matchup, including the current Packers who would have a true emotional investment in facing Rodgers and how much more would it mean it mean if this game was at Lambeau? Jim & Molly wrap up Hour 1 asking today's official Siding Unlimited poll question: Have Aaron Rodgers’ comments this week changed the way you think about him?
