Molly & Jim

The Jim, Matt & Molly takeover of Wilde & Tausch, live from Camp Randall for the Upper Deck Golf event, rolls into its final hour. They spend a minute to expose one another's embarrassing nicknames before circling back to today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Are you confident the Brewers will make the World Series after yesterday’s MLB trade deadline? Jim calls out the owners of both the Brewers, and his team, the Cubs, for not being willing to spend to win! They play Molly's Game, picking some props, over/unders, and totals for tonight's Brewers vs Nationals game. Jason joins the JM&M takeover for the second time today, this time live from the sideline of practice at Packers training camp. They get into the injuries at practice today & live reaction to a scare for RB Emmanuel Wilson. Plus, they discuss where Matt LaFleur has grown as a coach and where he can still improve, and Jason gives his recommendation for a family-friendly restaurant in Green Bay! They finish with Feel Good Friday, as Jim shouts out Danny Parkins raising funds for Cancer research, Matt's golf outing for scholarships in McFarland, and Molly promotes Mentoring Positives and the ESPN Madison Golf Outing!

The Jim, Matt & Molly takeover of Wilde & Tausch continues as they dip into some news around the NFL world. With Micah Parsons possibly on the verge of requesting a trade out of Dallas, they get into the news out of Washington D.C. that WR Terry McLaurin has asked out from the Commanders. Jim puts together a theoretical trade for the Packers to acquire McLaurin, and they discuss if it's worth it for Packers fans to go all in! They pivot to today's Ben Solak of ESPN.com, who ranked all 32 NFL Coaching staffs. They also react to Unsportsmanlike's Chris Canty saying that he has more respect for Matt LaFleur than the Eagles' Nick Sirianni as "program-builders". They also go way too deep into the coaching history of Chip Kelly... They kick around some more nonsense with people letting fish feed off their feet & angry fans who hate Phish Fridays! They wrap Hour 2 with Wilde & Tausch Trivia -- the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2025 edition!

Jim, Matt & Molly take over from 9 to Noon while Wilde, Tausch and Jesse are all away! They host live from Camp Randall Stadium for the Upper Deck Golf event, and they aim their sights to the Milwaukee Brewers and their lack of significant moves at yesterday's trade deadline! Why does it feel like the Brewers -- and even Jim's team, the Cubs -- cared more about winning the division than the World Series given their behavior on the trade market, & they ask fans if they're confident that the Brewers will represent the NL after last night's trade deadline? If not now, then when for the Brewers' & Cubs' ownership? Jason Wilde joins his own show ahead of Matt LaFleur's morning press conference for the first of two appearances today! They discuss the range outcomes for Jordan Love & if he can become a QB you win because of, not just with? Molly also lets loose and questions if we should be asking about LaFleur's leadership after multiple scrums involving the increased physicality at Training Camp practices, & Jason sheds led on Gutey's vision for building them into a more physical squad! Jim, Matt & Molly wrap Hour 1 discussing Jordan Love vs Baker Mayfield, finding reliability over volatility, and rooting more for QB success or team success!

Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins Jim, Matt & Molly with a surprise CALLOUT for our lack of acknowledge for the multiple national-radio shoutouts that he's given one member of our show! Which member of our show ISN'T on the hot seat and who's throwing who under the bus? They also react to Evan's Ed Hary throwback Thursday fit, and they get in one question about Jordan Love before reacting to the Breaking News, presented by the Metro Family of Dealers, that the Brewers are trading Nestor Cortes to the Padres in exchange for Brandon Lockridge.

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown continue reacting to the Brewers' moves ahead of today's MLB Trade Deadline, focusing on the Nestor Cortes deal to the Padres. They interpret more moves to acquire bullpen depth with Arizona's Shleby Miller and decide if these are just more in the margins adds. They discuss if the Brewers -- and Jim's team, the Cubs -- did enough to show they're all in on winning a World Series this year, and did they lose by not making a move for Eugenio Suarez prior to deadline day? Also, did Matt find his new favorite Brewers prospect: Marco Dinges?? They also get into a breaking NFL trade request from Commanders wideout Terry McLaurin, and they educate Matt on the new specials at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse before shooting down producer Primetime's crazy idea for hitting golf balls off Camp Randall stadium during tomorrow morning's remote broadcast for Upper Deck Golf!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown take us home one hour out from the MLB trade deadline at 5PM CT. They unleash on the Brewers unshocking lack of additions to this point and missing out on the Diamondback's Eugenio Suarez. They also review the Siding Unlimited Poll question results, asking Brewers fans what they expect the team to do with one hour left before the deadline. Why do so many fans seem to be okay with doing "nothing", and are the Brewers AND the Cubs more committed to winning the NL Central than winning the World Series? Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins Jim, Matt & Molly with a surprise CALLOUT for our lack of acknowledge for the multiple national-radio shoutouts that he's given one member of our show! Which member of our show ISN'T on the hot seat and who's throwing who under the bus? They also react to Evan's Ed Hary throwback Thursday fit, and they get in one question about Jordan Love before reacting to the Breaking News, presented by the Metro Family of Dealers, that the Brewers are trading Nestor Cortes to the Padres in exchange for Brandon Lockridge. Jim, Matt & Molly wrap up giving away some High Life and hearing from one listener who DID hear Evan's shoutout for the JM&M crew on Unsportsmanlike!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 as they wrap up their thoughts following the Brewers taking 2 of 3 from the Cubs, but losing the finale... How do the Brewers shape up versus other NL contenders, and will Brewers fans be fine settling for a backup catcher as their only addition at the trade deadline? They move onto KBN and Kyle Wallace's ridiculous take that Andrew Vaughn might be better than Babe Ruth, leading them to some serious conversations like which sports/athletes could actually translate across generations and why all of George Foreman's kids named George... During Throwing Stones, they react to some more ridiculousness with Mike Tannenbaum's list of the top NFC QBs, which has Jordan Love at No. 1! They discuss how much we should buy into Love's upside at this point in his development, and they wrap up with today's second Siding Unlimited poll question: Would you be happy if Jordan Love turns out to be as good of a QB as Baker Mayfield?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown are all BACK together after Matt's long cabin weekend wrapped up today (unbeknownst to producer Primetime)! They start the show live on YouTube only, reacting to the Brewers getting bashed in their series finale versus the Cubs. Jim explains why, despite losing 2 of 3 at AmFam Field, he still likes the position Chicago ahead of their 5-game series at Wrigley in August. They also discuss if the Brewers can ride their pitching through the postseason, and is "King" Andrew Vaughn for real or a just flash in the pan? They get back on the radio to discuss today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Which is a more accurate statement: the #Brewers are the Best team in baseball, or the Hottest team in baseball? They also ask if the Brewers' lack of slugging hold will ultimately hold them back from a World Series? During today's Minute to Win It, producer Primetime quizzes Matt & Molly on their immediate recall with the 10 MLB teams with the highest slugging percentage this season (after running through the list in the previous segment...)

Jim Rutledge & Molly Brown begin Hour 2 joined by Dave Kaplan of ESPN Chicago to talk about the ongoing I-94 Rivalry Series between the Brewers & Cubs and what these two "World Series-caliber" teams will do by Thursday's MLB trade deadline! Kap begins by sharing some some stories of his time working with Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg, who passed away yesterday, and he asks if Mark Attansio care enough to win a World Series by going all in with this Brewers team? They also discuss the Packers vs the Bears, including expectations for Ben Johnson's first season, how the NFC North will shake out, and how many years does Caleb Williams have to prove himself? Jim & Molly review ESPN's ranking of the NFL teams with the most under-25 "blue-chip" talent... Did we learn more about the Packers or the Lions in this exercise? They wrap the show with Throwing Stones, as they grade Happy Gilmore 2, but only after talking about some delicious new dinner specials at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse!

Jim Rutledge and Molly Brown are back together after Jim's messy trip to the Brewers vs Cubs game at "Wrigley North" (eye roll)... Jim recaps roasting in the heat at AmFam Field and why he lost his heart for the game after Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg passed away. Which athlete's passing meant to the most to you? Jason Wilde joins to recap the latest from Packers training camp, including why Elgton Jenkins returned to practice without a guaranteed contract yesterday and why Matt LaFleur LOUDLY curse out his team for their "extracurriculars" after practice? He also talks about the costs & benefits of Nate Hobbs' ongoing physicality during practice and the Packers' under-25 talent, and Jim asks what it would take for LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst to truly be on the hot seat after this season? They wrap Hour 1 with For Real or Phony, reviewing today's audio cuts from Gutey (speaking about Nate Hobbs' physicality in practice & why it's what the Packers need) and Jordan Love (on why Matt LaFleur had to curse out his team after practice today)... Also, when should we start asking if LaFleur has an issue with keeping his players disciplined?
