Just days after his introductory press conference, John Harbaugh is already making meaningful organizational changes behind the scenes. Longtime Giants executive Kevin Abrams is out after decades with the team, signaling that familiar names and long standing roles are no longer untouchable. The conversation also highlights the continued presence of Ronnie Barnes, whose role may evolve but whose influence inside the building remains strong. The discussion centers on why these moves matter, how they connect to broader power structure questions involving Joe Shane, and why this level of internal change shows Harbaugh is fully in charge and committed to building a Giants organization that reflects his vision from top to bottom.
Hour 3 opens with Evan owning his “Nets shocked the world” slip, plus a full recap of the quickest 6–4 hope in sports history as he takes his five-year-old to MSG and watches the Knicks turn it into a crime scene. Then the guys debate whether Tommy is officially a group chat squatter and if the crew should quietly boot him at the perfect time. From there, it's real Giants business: the organization starts clearing out long-time staffers as John Harbaugh puts his stamp on the building, with Tiki explaining how those behind-the-scenes changes actually work and why some “family” staples may not survive this new era. Then the moment of the hour: Andrew Caplan's audio package that proves John Harbaugh and Joe Biden are voice doppelgangers. Once you hear it back-to-back, you cannot unhear it. Plus: Mets fans call in with the perfect word for this offseason, confusion, as the “hope mode” roster debate rages on. And the hour closes with pure Cinco de Lunch chaos as the crew fires off their top five New York starting pitchers lists and immediately starts a civil war over where Peralta, McClain, Rodon, Cole, and the new Yankees arms belong.
Listeners noticed it first. Social media confirmed it. And once you hear it, you can never unhear it. The show takes a deep dive into one of the strangest and funniest discoveries of the week: New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh sounds eerily similar to former President Joe Biden. This segment features a carefully produced audio package putting their voices back to back, proving beyond any doubt that they are true voice doppelgängers. No politics, no agendas, just an uncanny comparison that leaves everyone confused, laughing, and questioning who they are actually listening to. The crew reacts in real time, explains how the comparison came together, and breaks down why this might be the most undeniable audio similarity you will hear all year. Once it clicks, it is ingrained forever.

Live from the Giants fieldhouse, the scene is set with hundreds in attendance, current players in the building, and the room going silent as the organization prepares to introduce its next head coach. The guys play a quick prediction game on what Harbaugh will cite first for taking the job, then the moment arrives as Joe Schoen steps to the podium and officially introduces John Harbaugh as the new head coach of the New York Football Giants. Harbaugh's opening remarks hit hard. He makes it clear he wanted the job, embraces the expectations of New York, and lays out a foundation built on toughness, physical football, discipline, and finishing. He emphasizes “team” repeatedly, thanks ownership, and brings the room into his mindset with a message about attacking every day with “enthusiasm unknown to mankind.” In the Q&A, Harbaugh addresses why he didn't take time off, what he likes about the roster, and why he's excited to work with Jaxson Dart. He talks staff building starting immediately, explains what “culture” means in football terms, and even nods to Andy Reid's advice that “change can be good.” The press conference closes with Harbaugh reinforcing that success starts with how the Giants work every day and how they choose to play on tape.
It's John Harbaugh's introductory press conference and the guys react to the biggest themes, the tone, and the energy inside the fieldhouse as the Giants officially turn the page. Harbaugh hits on what matters most, toughness, physical football, “the team” above everything, and a clear message that he wanted this job and believes the Giants can win. Then Giants GM Joe Schoen joins the show and walks through how the hire came together so fast, why the Giants were prepared for unexpected coaching movement, and what made Harbaugh the perfect fit. Schoen breaks down the collaboration he expects with the new head coach, how Jaxson Dart factored into the appeal of the job, and why he believes the roster has enough pieces to keep building quickly. The conversation also gets real about Schoen's tenure, how he grades himself, the pressure that came with the Daniel Jones decision, and why he refused to chase short term fixes at the expense of sustainability. Plus, they touch on roster priorities heading into free agency and the draft, and why the Giants believe they are set up for a legit turnaround under Harbaugh.
