This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Stigatz here.

I have a podcast empire that I have brought here to Iheart, and I'm also hosting a daily live radio show from 3 to 5 p.m.

Eastern called Stegots & Company Live, which is available in podcast form, right when the show finishes every single day.

You can expect a lot of laughter, great guests, a ton of calls, and a lot of fun.

Listen to Stugats & Company Live and our original podcast, Stugats and Company and God Bless Football,

and you can check all of those out on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

Hey, what I'm welcome in. I'm Doug Godlin.

This is All Ball.

And you're about to hear part three at Josh Lucas, an unbelievable tale of a guy who grew up, really tough background in Ohio, some abuse.

Just again, like if you listen to part one and part two, like, wow, that's tough.

But then somehow made it to Harvard as a football player.

Got injured, never really played, became just a grunt in the NFL, and worked his way all the way up to director of player personnel with Chicago Bears.

But that's not where the story ends.

And we'll get to all of that in part three.

Let me quickly give you a little hoop here because we are coming out of the All-Star break.

And before we get to like talking about the teams and who's actually going to win and who's actually any good or whatever? Like, how do we reconcile?

Maybe not we, but I don't know, it's weak.

How you reconcile the fact that, like, the All-Star game is a joke?

So how do we talk about the All-Star game when I think everybody who loves basketball just used it as a complete and total fucking joke.

Right?
