The Cause

After two weeks off we are back with a new episode that is centered around last weekend's Notre Dame football loss to Duke. We discuss bar etiquette, the disappointment of said loss and what sports it it acceptable to lose to Duke. The firing of Defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder and if it will yield results. And we reveal a new segment "How do you know you are a loser"

This episode gets a little weird. A move to Chicago and college football were the intended directions of this episode, but we travel far from there. We talk second jobs, Tinder, the advantages and disadvantages to long hair, and murder.

Football season is here and this week we brought in Brandon Newman a former Notre Dame football player and a current Producer at Fox Sports 1 to share his expertise (kind of). We talk the excitement football season brings. The craziness that is fandom, and how your favorite football team can become your identity. We even give love to other sports including women's basketball and swimming

Current Portland Trailblazer and former college teammate Pat Connaughton joins the show to have some fun and fill us in on what is new. We start with how summertime might be boring for the fans but as an NBA player it is no break (2:30). Spending time on the bench for 82 games (4:30). How it is important to get one of the seat cushions (9:25). Ever having the itch to play baseball again (11:45). Throwing heat during Minor League game first pitch (14:25). We then finish off with talk on his foundation "With Us", what it does and how it is growing (17:00)

Its Mid July so we bring in a guest to talk about the finer things in life. College friend Eric Ringel helps explain how funemployment can be a better choice than working a crappy job (2:50).
