Welcome back to the shamack.

I'm Pete Sampson joined by Matt Bertuno, our latest episode.

We have a special guest this week, former Notre Dame All-American two-time captain top ten pick.

I played in the Super Bowl last year. Mike McGillenchy joined the show.

Matt, we could tease the interview a little bit.

It was a good one.

There's a lot of good stuff in there if you're listening and one about some offensive line play and also some team shenanigans.

I feel like it's a very sports writer cliche to say the offensive linemen are always the best talkers on the team.

And I think we at the Shamrock are absolutely validating that cliche by having the Ryan Harris's, the Aaron Taylor's, Mike

McGillanches of the world on here and seeing them go no holds barred because they're just awesome.

They're a different group of dudes. They give you insight that you can't discern on your own that you can't get from anywhere else. And Mike McGlens, you had some takes on those who do think they are offensive line experts. And you'll look forward to hearing from him on that. But there's just a great interview. You entered it by saying he was one of the best guys to talk to a nerd name and you know, you can't say it any better. He was a pro's pro. I mean, to be a captain

on a four-and-eight team and come back as a captain the next year when everyone thought you're

going to go off for the NFL and help lead that team to be in the playoff mix in the final month

and to win the Joe Moore Award. I mean, his legacy is secured in her name. That's for sure. All right. Well, we'll get to that interview, one of my all-time favorites in the brief history of the shamrock, but I think it's going to probably stay on the test of time after you get done listening. So Matt and I will come back on the other side of that, talk a little bit about Pitt, preview that game uh for some predictions but first

mike mclinchie

uh thrilled to welcome

thrilled to welcome on to the shamrock one of my all-time favorite no-time favorite Notre Dame interviews in 20 years on the beat.

First round pick, starting tackle for the San Francisco 49ers, Mike McGlinchie.

Kind enough to spend some time in season with us, Mike.

I guess first off, how is life in California these days?

How is the NFL lifestyle treating you?

It's good. Everything's good out here,
