Plus, we explore a wild "EMF" conspiracy theory regarding 49ers injuries, Jerry Jones' desperate quest to catch Robert Kraft's ring count, and a nostalgic look back at the glory days of MTV and The Real World. We wrap it all up with AI-generated pharma songs and Gio's adamant refusal to act as an "organizer of men" for the station's Islanders outing.

John Harbaugh is officially the NFL's most coveted free agent, and his strategic silence has the league on high alert. With Harbaugh delaying interviews until next week, speculation is swirling that he's waiting for a "Black Monday" from playoff contenders like the Bills or Eagles. However, Boomer is doubling down on a "match made in heaven" with the Giants—a sentiment backed by Dianna Russini. CLo's here with Jim Harbaugh's glowing tribute to his brother's legacy and wrap up the hour with a look at the groundbreaking new series Heated Rivalry.

In this hour, we peel back the curtain on why fans have soured on Mike McCarthy, with Gio arguing that it's his "twice-burned" reputation combined with a subconscious bias toward more physically fit coaches like John Harbaugh. A caller suggests NFL "interview quotas" for larger coaches to get a shot. C-Lo drops in with more on the Harbaugh brothers and the insider feud between Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport over the Ravens' locker room.

Plus, we explore the wild "EMF" injury theory in San Francisco and the latest on the Giants' pursuit of John Harbaugh—including whether a certain Polymarket personality is actually an AI.

Between updates on the disgusting state of city subways and Boomer putting Gio to sleep with Rangers talk, we dive into Jerry Jones' obsessive quest to catch Robert Kraft's ring count and Mike Tomlin's heartfelt tribute to his former rival. We wrap with the "Moment of the Day" on the hockey drama Heated Rivalry and Gio's adamant refusal to organize the WFAN Islanders box: "I am not an organizer of men."

Jerry Jones is on a quest to surpass Robert Kraft for the most Super Bowl rings, but he's got a long way to go to bridge the gap.

Antonio Pierce is set to interview with the Giants tonight and tomorrow. We talked about John Harbaugh and the Giants and wondered who his coordinators would be.

C-Lo brings the updates, but first, the guys take a trip down memory lane to Al Davis' infamous "overhead projector" presser—one of the most bizarre firings in NFL history. Then, things get even weirder as we react to Joe Judge's claim that the current chaos at Ole Miss is actually "more hectic" than the time he lived next door to Aaron Hernandez. We also dive into the wild conspiracy theory gaining steam in San Francisco: could an electromagnetic field from a nearby substation be the hidden reason for the 49ers' decade-long injury curse?

Gio discovers that Boomer is wearing an Oura Ring. Plus, a listener used A.I. to do a song about side effects for prescription drugs.

Mike McCarthy might have the wins, but he can't seem to win over the fans. Gio argues that McCarthy's reputation is suffering from a "twice-burned" narrative following his exits from Green Bay and Dallas. Gio also suggests that fans are subconsciously—or even overtly—judging McCarthy's coaching ability based on his physical fitness.

C-Lo is in for Jerry and starts with Jim Harbaugh talking about how great of a coach his brother John is. Dianna Russini said the Giants really love Harbaugh and he really loves them.
