    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.
