This week's episode of Wake Up the Echoes starts with an essential debate on Tony's haircut (complete with Coach Freeman's seal of approval, even if he had to be begged for it). Captain Donovan "Donnie" Hinish brings the "Pittsburgh Tough" mentality, detailing his family's blue-collar pride and the raw, inspiring story of how his father beat 5% odds against Stage IV cancer to become his ultimate motivation. Then, things get interesting when he and Isaiah Dunn, the "Froyo King," recount the freshman talent show tradition, where Donnie cemented his locker room legend status by delivering a pitch-perfect impersonation of his older brother, Notre Dame Football alum and current Houston Texan, Kurt Hinish. Plus, find out how Donnie made it to the Met Gala one year and how his lacrosse career ended in the 8th grade thanks to a repeated inability to stop body-checking.
