About this listen

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
