Our thanks to Chris Sims for joining us in the first hour.

Tim Legler will join us as an encore for today on Stigots & Company.

Israel Gutierrez is with us right now.

Congratulations to you, Israel Gutierrez.

I mean, he's normally with us.

He just hasn't been here all week.

But congratulations to you on the new pod. I mean, how about that? Let me straighten some things out. I am not

double dipping over here. I am not double dating. That's for sure. That was all last year.

We recorded everything on LeBron. What?

We recorded everything last year while I was still with Metal Lark.

And they just decided to release it now that LeBron got knocked out and, you know, it seemed like a good time. So yeah, there you go.

Not new, not back at Metal Rark, but it's going to be good.

So, Izzy, I was fielding a bunch of questions.

When I see that podcast goes out, people are texting me, hey, was Izzy still with you guys? Is everything okay?

Now I'm sitting here wondering, are there any unreleased pitch clock episodes that I did?

That might be coming out.

Quite possible. Jeremy works works hard now I'm thinking

what's the name of your podcast is he uh the step back I mean ah the step back what a great

name for a new pod it really is so you got you got a basketball pod done from MetaLark

and I'm still waiting

on you to get one done here. I mean, hold on a second. The step back and you recorded it a year ago,

that's step way back. Yeah. That's the hardin step back. That's a little extra step. Yep.
