Brodes hosted on WIP Friday night 6-10pm asking how Eagles fans feel 24 hours after the announcement of Sean Mannion.

Deep beneath Utah's backcountry are stories that refuse to stay buried. Today on Slingshot Nation, we examine reports of underground giant bones, hidden cave systems, and what one U.S. Forest Service Officer says he was warned about while patrolling remote land. His account isn't rumor or internet folklore — it's a firsthand story involving restricted areas, local knowledge passed down quietly, and unsettling details about what may exist below the surface. What he was told suggests these locations are not only known, but actively avoided.From ancient accounts of giants and Nephilim to caves, sealed chambers, and warnings tied to specific regions of Utah, the evidence begins to form a pattern. We connect the officer's story to historical discoveries, Native traditions, underground structures, and other suppressed narratives that point to something far older and far bigger than modern history admits. Whether this is forgotten history, forbidden archaeology, or something more supernatural, one thing is clear — there are places underground that some believe were never meant to be disturbed.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

The crew goes off on the Hall of Fame “leak season” and argues why the NFL should stop the slow drip and just make it a true NFL Honors moment. Then it turns into a full Hall of Fame courtroom: why Bill Belichick didn't get in (and whether “still coaching” is the real reason), how the voting rules have changed for coaches, contributors, and veterans, and why conspiracy theories pop up the second the process gets murky. Plus, the Giants angle: is Eli Manning a first-ballot lock or a classic “he'll get in, just not right away” case? The guys go through the finalists list, debate what actually matters now (stats vs. greatness vs. uniqueness), and push back on the loudest anti-Eli arguments. And to close it out, the Knicks get a major piece of outside help as a new report throws real uncertainty into Jayson Tatum's return timeline, which could flip the entire East playoff picture.

Hour 4 of Evan & Tiki gets wild as a Vikings fan letter sparks a deep dive into a long-forgotten conspiracy theory accusing the Giants of cheating in the 2000 NFC Championship Game. Tiki Barber shuts it down in emphatic fashion, breaking down why the 41-0 blowout was no fluke. Plus, calls on Jets patience, Yankees playoff expectations, Cody Bellinger's awkward press conference, Knicks trade rumors involving Giannis, Super Bowl QB matchups, and classic Evan & Tiki chaos to close the show.

A listener drops an all time Minnesota classic: Vikings fans swear the Giants “cheated” in the 2000 NFC Championship by tapping into on field communications and knowing every play. The guys react in real time, pull up the old accusation, and then immediately do the obvious thing that ruins the conspiracy. They replay how that 41-0 game actually unfolded, how fast it became a bloodbath, and why “they stole our signals” sounds a lot like what people say when they cannot accept a historic beatdown. Tiki, who was on the team, shuts it down flat and explains why something like that would not stay secret in an NFL locker room. From there, the show pivots right back into New York pain with Jets calls. A fan admits it is getting harder and harder to defend the current direction, but also makes the point that firing coaches nonstop does not magically make the job more appealing. The guys break down the ugly truth: for the Jets, trust is only earned one way, winning, and everything else is just noise.

The guys are sick of “leak season.” Instead of letting the Hall of Fame results trickle out through reports and whispers, they argue the NFL should make it a real moment again, like a true NFL Honors reveal, not the schedule-release-style slow drip that ruins the drama. From there, it turns into the two biggest lightning rods: Bill Belichick and Eli Manning. Why is the Belichick conversation always louder than it needs to be, and is the simplest explanation the real one, that the Hall doesn't want an active coach getting in? And for Giants fans losing their minds over Eli not being first ballot, the crew tries to cut through the outrage and talk reality: he's getting in, but the “slam dunk” resume argument is not as clean as people want it to be. It's a debate about the process, the presentation, and why the NFL keeps stepping on its own big moment.

Lots of local talk today. The Jets' coaching search turns into a "disaster," with Aaron Glenn taking over defensive play-calling while the team desperately courts Frank Reich to salvage the offense. We talk a Knicks trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo that could cost them big players, plus, the Rangers' decision to bench Artemi Panarin. Sean Payton's odd comments on Bo Nix's injury and the Yankees welcoming back Cody Bellinger round things up, and we even have time for a few laughs here and there.

A caller wonders if Frank Reich is the right fit to lead the Jets' offense or if he should eye the Giants' opening for a chance to work with Jaxson Dart. There's also Jets QB uncertainty to ponder. We cover Cody Bellinger's Yankees return, and the growing buzz surrounding a potential Knicks trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Plus, the Rangers' decision to sit Artemi Panarin.

On Bleav in Giants, Bob Papa is joined by The Athletic's Ian O'Connor to break down Eli Manning missing the Hall of Fame this year and Bill Belichick's surprising snub, highlighting the logjam of deserving candidates and the challenges of the voting process.

Welcome to the Good Tidings Podcast with host, Larry Harper, Founder of the Good Tidings Foundation. This podcast is all about highlighting the good in people and what individuals are doing to make an impact in this world. On today's episode, Larry chats with his longtime friend, San Francisco Giants legendary broadcast and 13-time Emmy Award winner, Duane Kuiper. This podcast highlights Duane's journey from growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin to dreaming of someday becoming a Major League Baseball player. Duane shares what a blessing it was to be traded from the Cleveland Indians to the San Francisco Giants, including a funny story about how he once tried to block the trade. The conversation continues as Duane reflects on how he transitioned from player to broadcaster in a single weekend— a rare path, as only a handful of play-by-play broadcasters are former players. Larry also shares with the audience that Duane has been nominated five times for Baseball's Hall of Fame as a broadcaster, a recognition long overdue. They close out the conversation by discussing many ways Duane has supported and engaged with community-focused programs throughout his more than four decades with the Giants organization.

TikTok has agreed to settle a landmark social media addiction lawsuit just before the trial was set to kick off. The social video platform was one of three companies — along with Meta’s Instagram and Google’s YouTube — facing claims that their platforms deliberately addict and harm children. A fourth company named in the lawsuit, Snapchat parent company Snap Inc., settled the case last week for an undisclosed sum. Details of the settlement with TikTok were not disclosed, and the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. At the core of the case is a 19-year-old identified only by the initials “KGM,” whose case could determine how thousands of other, similar lawsuits against social media companies will play out. She and two other plaintiffs have been selected for bellwether trials — essentially test cases for both sides to see how their arguments play out before a jury and what damages, if any, may be awarded, said Clay Calvert, a nonresident senior fellow of technology policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. Today on AirTalk, Larry speaks to CNN tech writer Clare Duffy to offer a primer on the case and understand its long-term implications. With files from the Associated Press

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley share their responses—and the baseball world’s response—to the events of this month in Minnesota.
