The sheer excitement of Notre Dame’s cheeseburger bye week

Joshua and Jude were tasked to complete the podcast quest this week as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are basking in the glow of a blowout win over the Navy Midshipmen — while at home eating those cheeseburgers again. Also... we totally forgot to mention anything about Halloween — Happy Halloween. In this episode: HELLO! The restaurant that is determined to save America. Walking in an industrial wasteland. Notre Dame boatraced the United States Naval Academy — was it different than games past? We list the couple handful of players that looked good on Saturday. Is Riley Leonard one of the best quarterbacks in the country? Tim Tebow said bible verses too, hater. Notre Dame’s big jump in the rankings. The Texas A&M Aggies as a linchpin in this whole thing. Let’s talk about some different scenarios — past, present, and future. Notre Dame schedules Miami for 2025 so let’s talk about it. REVIEWS! First timers to Notre Dame. And plenty more weaved in and out of the show. Please RATE and REVIEW! All reviews left on Apple Podcasts will be ready on the next Earned 5-Star Podcast. Go Irish! Learn more about your ad choices.

From the bees to Notre Dame as a wookie

Joshua, Jude, and Brendan are back aboard the S.S. Earned 5-Star Podcast to hand you another megasode of fun. After Notre Dame's win over Georgia Tech, we have a big ranked matchup with... Navy. In this episode: Hello! The Immortal Universe Theory. We try to recap/review Notre Dame's win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but get sidetracked here and there. We like Riley Leonard now as Riley Leonard the Duke quarterback. We marvel at the depth on the defensive side of the ball. The Irish did exactly what they needed to against the Yellow Jackets. Is Notre Dame all but guaranteed a top 8 seed (home game playoff bid) if they win out? There is... well there is a lively discussion. Recapping the CFB week that was. Breaking down the E5 Top 20 rankings. Previewing Navy - like how good are they? This ain't Coach Ken's navy anymore (searching for Coach Ken and finding him was a delight). Game picks. And plenty more weaved in and out of the show. Please forgive some of the technical difficulties this week... technology is difficult (hence the term). Please RATE and REVIEW!

Sono onorato e grato che tu mi abbia invitato al matrimonio di tua figlia... il giorno del matrimonio di tua figlia. E spero che il loro primo figlio sia un bambino maschile. Prometto la mia fedeltà infinita.

You guys have perfected the “sports bar hang” style of podcast and have great knowledge of the game. I am a diehard ND fan but learn constantly from you guys, also appreciate the convos about other ND sports… now onto the important stuff. After 37 years of heartbreakingly wonderful fandom, I will finally be seeing ND in person in Notre Dame Stadium, taking on Virginia! Bringing some friends who are also college football nerds for 3 days, Fri-Mon, staying in town. For the umpteenth time, I am asking you to share advice on must do’s for possibly a once in a lifetime visit (live out west). Only ask for the true highlights as I don’t want to crowd or overwhelm the trip. Also need tips for tailgates, places to eat, and where to watch NFL on Sunday. Our Lady of the Lake, bless us. Thanks in advance and GO IRISH! I don’t eat frozen pizza and have nothing left in the tank.
FINALLY!!!

Love the show fellas! Keep up the great work. I have a few “finally” items to bring up. First, we FINALLY saw the Riley Lenard we thought we were getting this past Saturday against The Cardinal. If we can continue to see the improvements, the team stays healthy and we see this version of Riley Lenard, we’ll be in good shape. Second, I read Josh’s article on the rivalry trophies and couldn’t agree more. We FINALLY see some semblance of pettiness by drinking from the trophy. As college football heads towards being NFL lite (as you mentioned), I hope we don’t lose the pettiness we all love (i.e. the stupid Purdue drum from a couple of years ago). Stay petty my friends! Lastly, my wife was out of town a few weeks ago so I FINALLY got to try Homerun Inn pizza for the first time. Love, love, love it! Thanks for the recommendation! Keep up the great work you guys do! Go Irish!

Irish I was 6ft tall

Reviewing again because it’s needed. 5 Stars. How is this possible? I had no idea that ND was filming a season of M.A.S.H. We have more stricken humans than skid row, downtown Portland, and Detroit combined. This turf has to go. I have no idea how to do it, but if they want to pay me $50k a year, I will work 12 hours a day and keep the grass pristine. Love the POD, stay professional.
