    Jason Wilde on JM&M
    Nov 27 2024
    Jason Wilde joins Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Jon Arias two days ahead of the Packers game against the Dolphins on Thanksgiving night. Jim first asks if the Dolphins game will give the Packers defense its best litmus test after two wins against a couple of bad offenses in the Bears and injured 49ers. Also, what other teams left on the schedule are we overlooking as Packers fans? Jon wants to know if Jason feels like Packers fans should be all that impressed by the 38-10 win against San Francisco when the team didn't have Brock Purdy or Nick Bosa. Matt asks if Jason endorses his co-host Tausch's take that the Pack drove a dagger into the 49ers' playoff hears with that win. Also, how is Jason managing his family's Thanksgiving with the Packers night game, and what are his thoughts on the importance of the Badgers keeping the Axe and maintaining their 22-year bowl streak this Friday against Minnesota.

    Nov 27 2024
    Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton are joined by Badgers volleyball play-by-play broadcaster Jon Arias, who slides into co-host in place of maternity-leave Molly. Jim, Matt and Jon begin talking about what they are (or aren't) most thankful for when it comes to the Packers playing on Thanksgiving, asking the fans which Thanksgiving TV time window is the best or worst to watch your team play during? They also discuss the lofty rankings that national media and Packers fans alike are throwing at the team's feet, and they ask fans if they think it's most likely that the Packers finish top-5 in scoring offense, scoring defense or wins? Matt also once again explains why he's actually 2.5 hours ahead of the show while in Canada as well as the delicacy that is cod tongue (apparently...). Vikings fan Jon also discusses why he couldn't stand watching the Vikings vs Bears game on Wisconsin television, and he gives his thoughts on just how important winning the Axe Game versus Minnesota would be for this Badgers football team.

    Nov 26 2024
    Mark Tauscher joins Jim Rutledge and Alex Gravatt to discuss the Packers' dominant 38-10 win versus the 49ers at Lambeau Field. First, they delve into the down-bad Badgers after the team's 44-25 loss to Nebraska on Saturday. Jim asks if this team is closer to the one we saw in a tight loss to No. 1 Oregon at Camp Randall or the one that was blown out twice by Iowa and now Nebraska? They also discuss the importance of keeping the program's 22-year bowl streak alive, and how the food in the press box in Lincoln compares to the cookies in Kinnick Stadium. They get back to the Packers, asking Tausch just how good he felt after Green Bay's dominant win against San Fran and how confident is he going into the Dolphins game on Thanksgiving night?

    Nov 26 2024
    Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton are joined by Alex Gravatt, who's back in the Everlight Solar studio with Jim while Matt prepares for his curling tournament this week in Canada. Jim, Matt & G begin the show reacting to the Packers dominating their conference rival with a 38-10 win against the 49ers. The Pack absolutely handled business against a 49ers team that was missing Brock Purdy and Nick Bosa, but was this win impressive in only Packers fans' eyes and what does Jim Rutledge need to see against the Dolphins to be truly impressed? They also play Green & Gold Blind Rankings, as producer Primetime presents three Packers players who the guys have to rank as "good, bad, or meh" based on their performance in Sunday's game. Jim, Matt & G wrap up Hour 1 with some final thoughts on the 49ers games and a look ahead to the Dolphins game on Thanksgiving, as they ponder how many truly "elite" teams there are in the NFL right now or at any given time, and Jim explains why you can only have ONE true best friend at a time!

    5PM: Badgers' Bowl Lives on the Line
    Nov 26 2024
    Jim Rutledge and Alex Gravatt roll on after Matt Hamilton has to say goodbye to go throw some stones up in Canada, eh... Jim and Alex pivot from the Packers' "impressive-ish" win against the 49ers into the Badgers dreadful 38-10 loss to Nebraska on Saturday. After dropping to 5-6 and at risk of not making a bowl game for the first time in 23 years, Jim and Alex ask fans to play the blame game with who they think is "most responsible" for the current state of the Badgers' football program. Thy consult the fans on the phone line to discuss if the fault lies at the feet of Luke Fickell, AD Chris McIntosh or the recently-fired Phil Longo, or does the problem stem further back to Paul Chryst's regime? Plus, how do we now evaluate the decision to hire Luke Fickell nearly two years later? Mark Tauscher joins Jim Rutledge and Alex Gravatt to discuss the Packers' dominant 38-10 win versus the 49ers at Lambeau Field.

Jim and G wrap up with Throwing Stones, discussing if it's worse to keep breaking movies up into two parts or "spoiling" that a movie is a two-parter!

    Nov 21 2024
    Mark Tauscher joins Jim, Matt & Molly to discuss the Packers' upcoming game versus maybe their biggest rival, the 49ers, and the state of Badgers football after Phil Longo was fired as offensive coordinator. Molly asks for Tausch's reaction to Luke Fickell's viral comments about why offensive play callers don't matter, and Jim picks Tausch's brain on what kind of short list the Fickell and AD Chris McIntosh should consider in their OC search. Matt wants to know how Tausch thinks the final two games of the Badgers season will play out versus Nebraska and Minnesota. Molly pushes them back towards the Packers and Jim's disagreement with Tausch on Twitter that the 7-3 Packers might have just as much on the line as the 5-5 49ers this weekend. They have a spirited debate on the team's standings in the playoff race as the Packers likely need a Wild Card spot to make it out of the NFC North while San Fran is still just one game behind the division-leading Cardinals in the NFC West. How much would it mean for the Packers emotionally if they can crush the 49ers playoff chances this week, and is keeping San Fran out of the postseason actually the Packers' best chance to beat the 49ers in the playoffs?

    4PM: Packers vs 49ers in the Regular Season
    Nov 21 2024
    Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown broadcast for their last time this week with high school football playoffs taking over the airwaves Thursday and Friday. They discuss this Sunday's BIG Packers vs 49ers game, as some are saying that Green Bay could break 5-5 San Fran's playoff hopes with a win this Sunday. Jim disagrees with Tausch's take from this morning, claiming that the Packers could "put a dagger" in the 49ers' season, and Jim, Matt and Molly discuss if the 7-3 Packers actually have more on the line based on potential playoff scenarios. Are the 49ers in better position to catch up to the 6-4 Cardinals in the NFC West than the 7-3 Packers can catch up to the 9-1 Lions in the NFC North, and where do the Packers project in the wild-card playoff seeding? Molly is out next week for Thanksgiving, so this might be their last show all together before Molly gives birth to her twins! Jim and Matt get emotional over Molly's coming departure, and Molly's just ready to kick out of her swollen, pregnant ankles. They also play Don't Quote Me with Molly's upcoming pregnancy, as they make predictions on the Packers and Badgers seasons related to the due date of Molly's twins! They wrap up Hour 1 with Minute to Win It, as Jim and producer Primetime quiz Matt and Molly and the top-10 passing leaders in Badgers football history!
