    Episode 71: Ryder Frost & Micah Shrewsberry
    Feb 3 2026
    Is Ryder Frost ready to officially unleash the "shivers" celebration on the ACC? The freshman sharpshooter joins the booth to discuss his "icy" persona and the "snowflakes" video board graphic that could give Logan Imes’ "limes" a run for its money. But this episode isn't just about the range; we’re diving into the locker room’s unofficial "Film Club," reviewing the team’s group trip to see Marty Supreme and debating an eclectic list of must-watch classics—from the gritty streets of The Departed to the pure 90s nostalgia of Cool Runnings . Plus, we reopen some deep-seated sports memories as Massachusetts-native Frost and Seattle-bred Tony Simeone relive the Malcolm Butler interception that still haunts (or thrills) their respective hometowns. It’s all about that New England-to-South-Bend pipeline. 00:00:00 Intro 02:33:27 Ryder Frost Joins the Set 15:03:04 Subject Matter Expert with Ryder Frost & Micah Shrewsberry 25:41:12 Tell Me a Story with Ryder & Micah 41:08:19 Ask Tony & Outro created by Fighting Irish Media

    Twenty-five years since the 2001 Title—feeling nostalgic? Coach Niele Ivey joins the booth to bridge the gap between that legendary run and the current era of defensive havoc being wreaked by the record-shattering Hannah Hidalgo. Cass Prosper and KK Bransford stop by to discuss how to cook on and off the court. From the science of the 1:00 AM bedtime to the importance of letting every player be their authentic self in the locker room, we’re diving into the culture that keeps this program elite. 00:00 Intro 01:35 Niele Ivey 19:20 Subject Matter Expert: Cass Prosper & KK Bransford 33:19 Tell Me a Story: Cass Prosper & KK Bransford 42:51 Ask Tony & Outro

    Episode 69: Pete Bevacqua & Pat Garrity
    Jan 20 2026
    Could a regular person score on Victor Wembanyama in 50 tries? NBA vet Pat Garrity joins the booth to officially crush your driveway-hoop dreams before we dive into the high-stakes world of the 2026 collegiate landscape with AD Pete Bevacqua. We’re navigating the "Wild West" of NIL with Notre Dame’s "North Star" as our guide, making the case that a degree in South Bend is the ultimate hedge against a four-school-in-four-year portal tour. Between the business talk, we’re hitting peak millennial "Dad-mode": debating the merits of sous vide Tomahawks vs. the traditional grill, reminiscing about the glorious Rasheed Wallace era of the NBA, and giving host Tony Simeone the floor to defend his passionately held (and highly specific) theory on why Topo Chico bubbles are objectively superior. It’s a masterclass in sports leadership with steak-grilling tips to help you win your next tailgate before you cheer on the Irish. 00:00 Intro 02:27 Bevacqua & Pat Garrity 29:42 Subject Matter Expert 35:38 Tell Me a Story 42:02 Ask Tony & Outro created by Fighting Irish Media
