About this listen

The latest Five Heart Podcast opened with technical glitches and lighthearted banter between hosts Greg and Minnie, joking about frozen screens, USB ports, and their “zero-budget” basement production.

The conversation shifted to Nebraska football, just two weeks from the season opener against Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium, noting over 60,000 tickets sold—mostly to Husker fans. Discussion centered on defensive analyst Phil Snow’s role mentoring younger coaches, stressing preparation, standards, and stability, as well as special teams coordinator Mike Ekeler’s motivational style, his “one shot, one kill” philosophy, and his push for excellence across all roles.

Freshman Australian punter Archie Wilson’s emotional press conference and unique ambidextrous kicking skills were highlighted, along with linebacker Vincent Shavers Jr.’s enthusiasm for blitzing and team camaraderie. Single-digit jersey assignments were announced, and wide receiver Dane Key’s 1,000-yard season goal was shared.

Other topics included the addition of Bud Light sales at Memorial Stadium and upcoming Husker volleyball matches.

The episode peaked with a comedic “Five Heart Theatre” skit parodying Greg and Minnie, which drew big laughs from viewers. The show closed with Q&A from the live audience, optimism for the season, and the reminder that “Five Heart is all the heart you need!”
