Molly & Jim

Jim Ruledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown broadcast LIVE from the Tundra Trio in Green Bay for Day 1 of Packers training camp! They start with the Brewers' winning streak ending at 11 games after last night's loss to the Mariners & being tied (once again) with the Cubs for the best record in the NL. They also take a detour into some of the iconic and presidential landmarks around Green Bay & the Fox Valley (IYKYK)... They get into the happenings from Day 1 of camp and play For Real or Phoney with Brian Gutekunst's press conference this morning, including an update on why Elgton Jenkins' back injury is what's keeping him off the field (not his desire for a new contract) and Gutey re-clarifying his "urgency to win championships" comment from the end of last season. They ask today's first Siding Unlimited poll question: Has Gutey set expectations for the #Packers at NFC Championship Game or Bust this season? They also discuss the parity in the NFC North and which QB in the division has to do the most to help their team win. They wrap Hour 1 with Minute to Win It, as producer Primetime quizzes Matt & Molly on the teams with the 10 best records in the MLB as of today.

Dom Cotroneo, host of WTMJ's pre/postgame host for Brewers games, joins Jim, Matt & Molly to help address the fanbase's hatred for Jim and the now viral clip of his Freddy Peralta for Eugenio Suarez trade thought experiment. He gives his thoughts on what part of Jim's comments went unheard and the idea that the Brewers aren't willing to give up their future farm system to get better this season. They also get into some other realistic trade options for the Brewers, what they can do to push into true World Series contention, and why they might need to play defense against the Cubs at the trade deadline!

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly while on his way up to Door County ahead of Packers training camp starting tomorrow. He discusses the biggest question marks heading into camp and what will be the biggest storylines coming out of camp, and why is this year's Packers team so hard to figure out? They also get into when will Elgton Jenkins' contract get done and why the team needs to see him settle in at center first. Jim keeps Jason a little longer to ask about the competitive advantage in Jordan Love's development, & Molly teases a possible resolution to her long-lost wedding ring debacle!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 with a final recap of the first hour addressing Brewers Twitter's hatred for Jim's thought exercise about trading Freddy Peralta for Eugenio Suarez. Plus, they update Molly's 100 wins prediction for the Brewers and dive into what makes "Moneyball" the movie actually kinda fake. They move to Packers training camp starting tomorrow from up at Lambeau Field! Before the show heads up to Green Bay for Day 1 of camp tomorrow, they make Don't Quote Me predictions for what will be the biggest Packers storylines by the end of camp! Who will be the camp darlings, which starting WR will be gone by the end of camp, and who's got the longest reach on the offensive line? Jason Wilde joins while on his way up to Door County ahead of Packers training camp starting tomorrow. He discusses the biggest question marks heading into camp and what will be the biggest storylines coming out of camp, and why is this year's Packers team so hard to figure out?

They wrap the show by going over time with Throwing Stones for the full update on Molly's wedding ring situation!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown come back to react to everything burning around them (or should we say Jim) for the heat he's getting on his viral clip theorizing a Freddy Peralta for Eugenio Suarez trade! Jim re-iterates his deeper point that the Brewers aren't willing to give up valuable prospects to go all in on trades & the importance of listening to full video clips on X/Twitter. Dom Cotroneo, host of WTMJ's pre/postgame host for Brewers games, joins to help address the fanbase's hatred for Jim and his now viral Freddy Peralta for Eugenio Suarez trade. He gives his thoughts on what part of Jim's comments went unheard and the idea that the Brewers aren't willing to give up their future farm system to get better this season. They also get into some other realistic trade options for the Brewers, what they can do to push into true World Series contention, and why they might need to play defense against the Cubs at the trade deadline! Jim, Matt & Molly roll on with a discussion of today's Siding Unlimited poll question --- What’s the biggest thing the Brewers need to add before the trade deadline: third base, relief pitching or shortstop? They wrap Hour 1 with Jim addressing some more haters with the KBN crew criticizing his Cubs fandom, leading into a conversation about why Brewers fans don't get as angry at owner Mark Attanasio's frugality as they do at Cubs fans?

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 of today's show with Jim reacting to a snippet of KBN's take on Cubs fans trying to diminish the Brewers, who are now tied for the best record in the NL! Which fanbase is more obsessed with the other: Chicago or Wisconsin? Plus, Matt goes to bat for Wisconsin drivers vs FIBs, and they discuss how you'd allocate 10 imaginary titles among WI's pro sports teams! They finally get into today's Second Siding Unlimited poll question, asking if the Packers have a Top 10 roster in the NFL. They play Majority Rules with ESPN.com's ranking of all 32 NFL rosters, picking the Packers vs the NFC teams ranked ahead of them. During Throwing Stones, they discuss The Ringer's list of the best fictional QBs in movie history, which they carry over into a conversation around if we're in or out on The Broken Lizard movies.

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown return following what was a slow sports weekend, other than the Brewers sweeping the Dodgers for the second time this season! Now tied for the best record in the NL, they discuss if the Brewers will push themselves into true World Series contenders by making an impact trade at the deadline! What big bats are out there, and is Diamondbacks 3B Eugenio (Ayy-YOUUU-hennio) Suarez enough to get the Brew Crew over the hump? Jim also tells the story of being self-conscious about wearing a tank top around a stranger this past weekend! They pivot to the Metro Family Breaking News that the Packers are giving RT Zach Tom a 4-year, $88 million extension with a historic $30.2 million signing bonus! Why did the Packers ever let us wonder if they wouldn't sign Tom, and what does this extension mean for Elgton Jenkins' contract hold-out/in with training camp starting in just two days? They return to the Brewers as Matt discover the nickname of "his guy" Caleb Durbin, aka THE DURBIN-ATOR! They wrap up Hour 1 discussing potential trade options other than Suarez, and if we expect the Brewers to just go for the bargain deal rather than a big bopper.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to discuss the Packers five days out from training camp, including the 2nd-round pick Anthony Belton finally signing his rookie contract today and if this will be a trend for 2nd-rounders in the NFL going forward. They also discuss if Jordan Love is a finished product and, if not, what percentage of his development have we seen so far? Molly exchanges compliments with Jason by asking him to re-state his stance from this morning's debate on Wilde & Tausch and if the Packers should take more big swings like the Milwaukee Bucks. First, they need to know Jason's stance on Matt's HOT take about the proper way to roast marshmallows & s'mores!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 discussing today's "serious" Siding Unlimited poll question: Is Jordan Love a finished product? Do we need to compare Love and his development to his modern contemporaries like CJ Stroud, Jared Goff, Tua, etc. or should he be held to the standard of other QBs who had the benefit of sitting to begin their careers like Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, & Patrick Mahomes? They move into Molly's Game, as she asks the guys to pick some gambling lines around The Miz's next start as well as the WNBA All-Star Game! This also leads to an important question: how can you tell when Mercury is in retrograde? They wrap the show with Poll Dancing, answering this week's select ESPN WI poll questions read by the dulcet voice of Riley Jauch, including if Love will be in NFL top 100, paying for Packers preseason games, and talking life goals on a first date!

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll into the weekend on a Phish Friday (which turns into a Weird Al Yankovich Friday)! Jim starts by recapping his family's trip to the Dane County Fair today, and they ask fans for the best traditional fair foods (funnel cake, cream puffs, corn dogs, & more)! With the Brewers starting the 2nd-half of the season with a late-night West Coast trip, they ask which sport is better to fall asleep to: golf or baseball? Talking fair foods leads to one of Matt's most passionate takes ever about the proper way to roast s'mores and marshmallows! Jason Wilde joins to discuss the Packers five days out from training camp, including the 2nd-round pick Anthony Belton finally signing his rookie contract today and if this will be a trend for 2nd-rounders in the NFL going forward.

Jim, Matt & Molly wrap Hour 1 with an ode to the greatest bangers of Weird Al (cause he's got an anniversary or summin)!
