    Episode 61: Malachi Fields, Marcus Freeman, Isaiah Dunn
    Nov 4 2025
    Head Coach Marcus Freeman and explosive WR Malachi Fields join Tony for a deep dive that's anything but "boring", starting with Coach's candid reaction to the broken-play touchdown that somehow worked out (thanks to Malachi's vertical ability, which he calls a "60-40" ball in his favor). Malachi (one of the only married guys on the team) shares the story of his October 1st wedding and the simple-yet-profound philosophy that drives him: "Faith, family, football". Oh, and "fishing!" 00:00 Intro (Tony Simeone) 02:14 Opening Conversation (Tony Simeone, Marcus Freeman, Malachi Fields) 25:32 Subject Matter Expert (Tony Simeone, Malachi Fields) 32:11 Tell me a Story (Tony Simeone, Malachi Fields, Isaiah Dunn) 45:51 Ask the Host (Tony Simeone) 48:03 Outro (Tony Simeone)

    Oct 28 2025
    Notre Dame Football is built on trust, and Head Coach Marcus Freeman and safety Adon Shuler are here to break down the culture that’s forging elite players. Tune in as Shuler, the proud "Tough Jersey Kid" who is (in the middle of) copyrighting his personal brand, reveals his dedication to his "comfort calm" style and names the players with the best drip on the team. With Adon, not even the sky's the limit, and he's made it his mission - and foundation - to become a real-life superhero to kids back home.

    Episode 58: Donovan Hinish, Marcus Freeman, Isaiah Dunn
    Oct 14 2025
    This week's episode of Wake Up the Echoes starts with an essential debate on Tony's haircut (complete with Coach Freeman's seal of approval, even if he had to be begged for it). Captain Donovan "Donnie" Hinish brings the "Pittsburgh Tough" mentality, detailing his family's blue-collar pride and the raw, inspiring story of how his father beat 5% odds against Stage IV cancer to become his ultimate motivation. Then, things get interesting when he and Isaiah Dunn, the "Froyo King," recount the freshman talent show tradition, where Donnie cemented his locker room legend status by delivering a pitch-perfect impersonation of his older brother, Notre Dame Football alum and current Houston Texan, Kurt Hinish. Plus, find out how Donnie made it to the Met Gala one year and how his lacrosse career ended in the 8th grade thanks to a repeated inability to stop body-checking. 00:00 Intro 01:47:00 Marcus Freeman, Donovan Hinish 22:28:16 Donovan Hinish: Subject Matter Expert 32;52;09 Donovan Hinish, Isaiah Dunn: Tell Me a Story 42:18:19 Ask Tony 47:42:00 Outro
