    Nov 5 2024
    On this week’s episode, guest-host Isaiah Dunn is absolutely killing it as we dish with Marcus Freeman and Howard Cross III on everything from football to food. Get the lowdown on Howard’s bolognese skills (yep, HCIII’s secretly cheffing it up), plus an intense “This vs. That” showdown where we finally settle the eternal debate: pasta or pizza? We’ll also dig into the origin stories behind HCIII's name—because who doesn’t love a bit of lore with their lasagna? It’s sharp, it’s savory, and it’s full of flavor. Hope you brought your appetite this week! created by Fighting Irish Media

    Episode 32: Love Thee Notre Dame (feat. Marcus Freeman, Aamil Wagner, Jeremiyah Love, Isaiah Dunn, & Khalid Kareem)
    Oct 22 2024
    This week, Marcus Freeman drops by to hang with fellow Wayne High School alum (albeit, a few years separated), Aamil Wagner—apparently that school produces both football stars and overachievers, since Aamil’s tackling 18 credits this semester (no big deal). Jeremiyah Love swings by for some games which, to no one's surprise, he's pretty darn good at. "Hat's off" to Khalid Kareem for joining us this episode as he rounds out the show. Your job for this week? Help Tony pick out his Halloween costume for next week's episode. Between the Fighting Irish Leprechaun (zombie edition), the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Lou Holtz circa '88, you've got some pretty solid options to choose from- and the choice is indeed yours!

    Episode 31: On a Kiser Roll (feat. Marcus Freeman, Jack Kiser, Isaiah Dunn, & Audric Estimé)
    Oct 15 2024
    Fresh off another home game win, we reminisce back to Jack Kiser's biggest W of all—proposing to his girlfriend in New York City like a true linebacker tackling life head-on. Meanwhile, Marcus Freeman keeps Notre Dame on track for greatness, offering leadership so solid, he could probably give a TED Talk on both coaching and commitment. And speaking of big decisions, we need your help to pick Tony’s Halloween costume for our Halloween special on October 29th—do we go with something spooky? How about “Audric Estimé’s ghosted defenders”? created by Fighting Irish Media

    Episode 30: The Talent Show (feat. Riley Leonard, Marcus Freeman, JD Bertrand & Isaiah Dunn)
    Oct 8 2024
    The first bye week's come and gone and we're still here, steady as a pumpkin spice latte in the hands of a college student during midterms. Riley Leonard joins us for his first appearance on the show, and to no one's surprise, he's made for the bright lights. But just like fall, this guy's got layers, and you'll be glad you got to know him a little bit better after listening. Speaking of big stages, JD Bertrand makes his second appearance on the show (check out Episode 8) after making his first starting appearance for the Atlanta Falcons. So whether you're gearing up for fall or football, this week's episode might just be exactly what you needed to get ready for the best season in the Midwest.

And just when you think we’re done, WWE’s Sheamus rolls through with “Banger after Banger after Banger,” because who needs downtime when we're here to Wake Up the Echoes?
