Greg Cote Show: Izzy Gutierrez, NBA Finals, LeBatard/Stugotz rift and lots more

The newest edition of The Greg Cote Show, Episode 325, is out now! Listen on Apple, Spotify or wherever you pod. Also subscribe for free and watch on our GCS YouTube channel!

Topping the new show’s marquee:

▪ FOS (Friend Of the Show) Israel “Izzy” Gutierrez sits in with us for a fun and wide-ranging chat about the NBA Finals and lots more -- including exclusive insider-perspective on the Le Batard/Stugotz rift. Also, Izzy names his favorites thus far from our Catchphrase Countdown.

▪ Soccer’s biggest event is drawing near with 48 national teams descending on the U.S., Canada and Mexico, and I announce and introduce you to “The Official World Cup Team” of the Greg Cote Show podcast.

▪ And we reveal numbers 18 and 17 on our Top 60 Catchphrase Countdown, which is drawing national attention with a shoutout from Boog Sciambi on a Cubs baseball broadcast and being a part of the curriculum in at a high school.

This is our 325th episode overall and 22nd of 2026, and we welcome you back as always.

Also on the latest show:

▪ I tease details of the upcoming third annual Cote Family Olympics.

▪ The latest I’mTheKindaGuyThat (ITKGT) with myself, Chris and Izzy.

▪ The strange favor I once was asked of legendary Miami Hurricanes baseball coach Ron Fraser.

▪ Will the Greg Cote Show be in Lake Tahoe in July?

▪ And new Dad Jokes and Three Facts, Jack!
