Also, Whoa Nelly! celebrating Lee Corso's legendary College GameDay career and fans in hotel bathrooms.

Do the Packers really have the 7th best roster in the NFL? The guys compare how analytics rankings from The Athletic compare to Tausch's 565 Analytics opinions (they go with their gut!). Also, do the Packers have any "Tony The Tiger" players? Or are they all just good, not grrrrreat?

And ESPN NFL Front Office insider Mike Tannenbaum joins the show with thoughts on Jordan Love's development, selecting a wide receiver, and more ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay.

The third hour gets started with a bang as ESPN NFL analyst, former Iowa Hawkeye & former Green Bay Packer Matt Bowen joins the show! The guys waste no time getting into the meat and potatoes as Matt goes in-depth on several prospects he believes could be good fits for Green Bay, including but not limited to, Shemar Stewart, Mykel Williams, and three other cornerbacks! He also cautions Packers fans against giving up on Lukas Van Ness too soon, although that could be his Iowa bias showing. The show concludes with a conversation surrounding which players in the Green and Gold need to elevate.

The guys continue their wide receiver conversation and consider what it means for the Green & Gold if they go after a WR, especially if they decide to pull the trigger and draft one in the first round. Tausch also gets on Jason for not being a "tease" guy, which leads to Riley accidentally throwing to break. A debated Wisconsin Geography Wednesday Trivia ends the hour.

Wilde & Tausch address the notion that the Packers beat reporters have a vendetta against Jaire. Jason thinks this is preposterous proposition. Tausch wonders where he'll end up and would really prefer not to see him on the Detroit Lions. Bryan Bulaga joins at his usual time to discuss the Packers draft prospects, specifically along the line, they also spend a lot of tackle talk considering the Packers WR corps and Green Bay's interest in pickup up another.

Some Badgers discussion gets the third and final hour of today’s show rolling, Tausch is confident that Hunter Wohler will be a significant contributor on an NFL roster. This is followed by a conversation surrounding Jason’s article about the Packers running back situation and the likelihood they select a running back in this year’s draft. The fellas are split on this as Tausch is convinced the G&G may actually make a move on a running back while Jason doesn’t think that’s in the cards for Gutey this year. Riley tells of his relational woes and his friend’s mishap at the Brewers game yesterday in Whoa Riley before a quick revisit of the day’s topics sends you into the rest of your Tuesday!

Drew from Dayton, Ohio contributes his perspective having attended The Masters and experiencing firsthand what it’s like to not have a phone at a sporting event. Vern from Waterloo’s idea of throwing the players and coaching schemes back to a previous era get poo-pooed by Tausch. Then Ace in Mount Horeb’s valiant effort at Badgers Trivia Tuesday wraps up the 10AM hour.

It’s the Tuesday edition of Wilde & Tausch and Tausch was quite inspired by the Masters over the weekend. He proposes the idea of one, cell-phoneless game a year at Lambeau, similar to the atmosphere at Augusta National. Would YOU be on-board with that? The guys then discuss logistics and potential pitfalls to this idea, but the consensus seems to be mostly positive. That is, until Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins the show, after some brief technical difficulties, he hops on and proceeds to spend 20 minutes squabbling with Tausch. He questions if this is an indictment on Packers fans. Answering some fans’ texts concludes the hour.

Jason's latest article examining the state of the Packers QB room leads to this hypothetical question: Is there a price for which the Packers would trade Malik Willis this offseason? Also, a round of Where's Wilde? featuring Jason's most interesting commentary appearing on other ESPN Wisconsin shows.

Tausch wants to talk about the Milwaukee Bucks...because he's worried the end of the golden age is near. Is it? Also, Jason is a believer in Lukas Van Ness now?

The Friday edition kicks off by reviewing the returns for the poll posted at the end of Thursday's show: Would Packers fans boo Aaron Rodgers if he returned to Lambeau Field as the Pittsburgh Steelers QB? And a question about holiday candy sends the show on a fudge frenzy. Also, Wilde and Tausch Trivia on a special Badgers Trivia Friday.

After listening to the crowd's response to an answer from Lukas Van Ness during a Q&A last night at the Packers Tailgate Tour, the guys ask fans if they would boo Aaron Rodgers if he returned to Lambeau Field as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers? Also, director Sean Hanish and producer Kelly Kahl of "Just A Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers" join the show as the documentary prepares to make its streaming debut on Roku.

And Homer joins for his weekly appearance, including Tausch making a bold assertion about a player the Milwaukee Bucks should seek to acquire in a trade this offseason?
