Jason Wilde joins Matt & Molly to address Packers fans' fantasy of possibly trading for TJ Watt, after he addresses the important question of the day: how should Molly handle losing your wedding ring?

Wednesday, July 2, 2025 • Duration 18:29
Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll into Hour 2 after Matt ACES today's Minute to Win It on the favorites to win the NBA Finals according to ESPN Bet! They continue discussing how these odds seem very disrespectful to the +5000 Milwaukee Bucks, and they hear why insider Brian Windhorst is still squeamish about Giannis' future in Milwaukee after the signing of Myles Turner and departure of Damian Lillard. Is this Bucks roster SIGNIFICANTLY better than it was by the end of last season?

Thursday, June 26, 2025 • Duration 23:04
Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins Jim & Matt to discuss all things NBA Draft and the new implications for a potential Hawks-Bucks trade after last night's Round 1. They dive into Evan's proposed trade package from the Hawks for Giannis, why he still believes that Giannis will want to stay with Milwaukee, and the idea of waiting until after July for Giannis to finish his evaluation process this offseason. First, they talk about Badgers basketball and tonight's Made 'Em Believe event honoring the 2014-15 team... Does Ben Brust deserve credit for hosting an event about a team that got BETTER AFTER he left the program??
4PM: Everybody Hates Chicago & Dying on the Hill for Polka
Thursday, May 1, 2025 • Duration 53:33
Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown hit the air immediately following the Brewers 8-0 loss to the White Sox to end a 10-game road stretch. But, this was just the appetizer for the real Chicago matchup when the Cubs travel up to Am Fam Field for the first I-94 series of the season. Are Brewers or Cubs fans getting up more for this series and at what point of the season do we start caring about the NL Central and wild card standings? Also, why can't Matt get Jim to admit that Chicago fans care just as much as Milwaukee fans?!?! They ask today's first Siding Unlimited poll question: Which Wisconsin sports rival do you hate the most: the Cubs, the Bears, or the Gophers? They get into the deep-seeded rivalry versus Chicago, but is this tied strictly to the Bears (who still suck) or something deeper about Wisconsin vs Illinois? Also, Matt finds his most recent hill to die on: the Wisconsin staple polka music. They wrap Hour 1 giving away some Miller High Life and Jim asks if there's any music genre worse than polka?

First, Jason needs to know "what the **** is wrong with people on Facebook?"

Thursday, May 1, 2025 • Duration 39:41
Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown keep the rivalry talk rolling as they hear from Matt LaFleur, who sat down for an exclusive interview with Wilde & Tausch at the Tundra Trio ahead of the NFL Draft last week (find that on the ESPN Wisconsin App)! LaFleur talked about how he got tight while handling critical moments last season like the regular-season finale in Chicago. But, he swore that he "wasn't tight" when asked about Ben Johnson by the guys on Bussin With the Boys... JM&M get into LaFleur's lack of coolness despite his cool haircut (aka "The LaFleur"). During Throwing Stones, producer Primetime asks if he should be forgiven for "accidentally" stealing people's drinks from the office fridge.

Then, they review the postgame curfuffle between Giannis and Tyrese Haliburton's father.

During Minute to Win It, Jim and Prime put Molly and Matt's money logic to the test with the top-10 projected NBA payrolls for the 2025-26 season.

Tuesday, April 29, 2025 • Duration 01:00:14
It's the Jim, Matt & Molly Takeover of Wilde & Tausch! The crew introduces themselves and why their names are almost as unmemorable as Jason and Mark, and how is Molly the oldest 28-year-old you'll ever meet. They ask their first Siding Unlimited poll question: Do you like your own name? They also discuss the Milwaukee Bucks' dire situation heading into tonight's Game 5 versus the Pacers... Down 3-1 and with Dame now out for the foreseeable future with a torn Achilles, Jim explains why he thinks it would be better for the Bucks to just sit Giannis to help preserve his health for next season and/or a future trade. Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike makes his bi-weekly appearance on Wilde & Tausch during today's Jim, Matt & Molly Takeover! They catch up after seeing Evan in Green Bay for the 2025 NFL Draft and ask what's happening with Unsportsmanlike's bus that they took to the draft (and why is it going to transport a turtle across country?)... Jim asks Evan for his thoughts on the Bucks and if they need to wave the white flag on the playoffs to preserve Giannis' health at this point, and does Evan see the Greek Freak playing on a new team like his Miami Heat next season? They also get Evan's thoughts on yesterday's poll question: Who won the NFL Draft this weekend: the city of Green Bay, the Packers draft class, or Mark Murphy? And, why is the correct answer actually Matt LaFleur's pristine hair? Jim, Matt & Molly wrap Hour 1 talking the transactional value of giving old people attention in exchange for hard candy.
