I.B. Nation. Welcome back to another edition of the Irish Breakdown podcast. Happy Friday, everybody.

We are now one day closer to Notre Dame's annual blue gold game. We are now a day away from when Brian and I and Vince and Sean can go up and see a full practice for this team.

But more importantly, we are one day closer to Notre Dame kicking off down in

Miami on August 31st. I know it still feels like a while away, but I already can't believe

it's already April 4th of this year. It feels like New Year's just happening. It feels like

the national championship was just here. But before we get to all that fun stuff, ladies and

gentlemen, it is Friday,

which means it is the Friday Free For All Mailbag here at Irish Breakdown.

And this is something that Brian and I talk about every week, but something that we love doing.

It's an opportunity to give back to our avid listeners and we get to discuss their topics,

their questions, because you guys get to dictate what we talk about

today. This isn't exclusive to the premium message board members. This is for anybody in the

live chat and anybody that listens to our show on a regular basis. If this is your first mailbag,

and for whatever reason, in order to get your question answered, so Brian and I know to kind of divvy it up from the other just normal comments in the comment section, either put a little MBE before your question or comment, or you can put a mailbox emoji that lets us know to set that question aside.

If you want your question bumped up to the top, because we typically go for, for you know we'll go for a while today but

you guys have such great questions where it's tough to get to all of them so if you want your

question bumped up to the top we'd also greatly appreciate a super chat we'll get that answered

right away but it is friday it's the end of the week brian and o'angela comes today. And so there's going to be a lot of fun things going on for everybody this weekend.

Lauren and I have a fun weekend stuff playing because she doesn't have to work for like the first time in a weekend and quite some time.

So I am excited for this weekend.

Before we get there, we got the mailback, man.

And Saturday is also Anz and I's 17th wedding anniversary. So I'm, I get to start my anniversary off watching a little Notre Dame football. Then we're going to kind of relax, have a good day, probably make some nice dinner. We're going to go out to dinner, probably Sunday night to kind of, you know, celebrate it. But yeah, man, it's it but yeah man it's going to be it's
