Episode 78: Tee Time: A Season 3 Send-off With Notre Dame Golf (feat. Pete Bevacqua, Alexsandra Lapple, Breanna Jenco, Jacob Modleski, John Handrigan, Gia Kvaratskhelia)
We’re shifting gears to the greens for the debut of the highly anticipated Golf Leprechaun—the logo update your weekend bag has been begging for. AD Pete Bevacqua and our golf programs dive into the "Notre Dame Advantage," where student-athletes balance world-class degrees with elite opportunities that range from the hallowed fairways of Augusta to the "one-two punch" of the nation’s best resources. Plus, Tony attempts to convince the actual pros that his 10-finger grip is a legitimate technical innovation (it’s not), while the teams prepare to carry this championship momentum into the spring postseason. We’re closing out the season with a literal trophy haul as Coach Gia Kvaratskhelia and the fencing squad drop by to explain how two more National Championships are just another day at the office for the most dominant brand in college sports. Whether we’re taking a victory lap for the blades or fueling up the jet for the next tournament, this finale is a sharp reminder that at Notre Dame, excellence is the only standard. 00:00 - Intro 02:20 - Pete Bevacqua 15:57 - Subject Matter Expert - Women’s Golf - Alexsandra Lapple, Breanna Jenco 33:32 - Men’s Golf - Jacob Modleski, John Handrigan 59:16 - Tell Me A Story - Gia Kvaratskhelia 1:08:39 - Outro

Episode 77: CJ Carr, Jordan Faison & Isaiah Dunn
It’s the football finale on Wake Up the Echoes, and we’re going out with a high-energy blend of upperclassmen energy and literal sorcery. Our co-host Isaiah Dunn officially hands in his mic after two seasons on the couch, but not before putting on one final show with guests CJ Carr and Jordan Faison. While the group dives into the legacy of the "old heads" who came before them, CJ reveals his true calling as a South Bend wizard by pulling off a magic trick that leaves the studio questioning the laws of physics (and the security of the Heisman trophy?). We wrap up Isaiah's final episode as co-host with the ultimate postseason mantra: "Don’t let the pursuit of your goals diminish the joy of today." It’s been a legendary run for our first co-host—thanks for everything, Isaiah! 00:00:00 Intro 02:19:00 Subject Matter Expert: CJ Carr, Jordan Faison & Isaiah Dunn 26:07:00 Tell Me a Story: CJ Carr, Jordan Faison & Isaiah Dunn 34:05:00 Ask the Host: Tony Simeone & Isaiah Dunn 40:36:00 Outro

Episode 76: A Notre Dame Fencing Feature (feat. Eszter Muhari, Ahmed Hesham, Gia Kvaratskhelia & Cedric Loiseau)
On this episode of Wake Up the Echoes, we’re trading the jump shots for parries as Notre Dame Fencing prepares to defend its status as a literal dynasty. Head Coach Gia Kvaratskhelia stops by to talk National Championship prep alongside Cedric Loiseau—a man who carries the nickname "Liezu" (Bird) with such poise that Tony has officially dubbed him the "French Larry Bird." We’re diving into the technical mastery of the Epee, the relentless dominance of a women’s program that treats ACC titles like a light weekend errand, and the mental gymnastics required to balance world-class athletics with South Bend academics. Whether you're here for the elite swordplay or just to see if Cedric can live up to his legendary basketball namesake, this episode is a sharp reminder of why the Irish are the gold standard on the strip. 00:00:00 Intro 02:17:00 Gia Kvaratskhelia & Cedric Loiseau 20:44:21 Eszter Muhari & Ahmed Hesham 32:50:20 Eszter Muhari & Ahmed Hesham 44:47:06 Ask Tony/Outro created by Fighting Irish Media
