|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10/28/26 | FULL: Blazers burn Lakers with insane shooting; Grimes, Sexton, Thybulle struggle; Luka, Austin still good | Anthony breaks down the game from a macro point-of-view, then zooms in on some of the individual performances than led to the outcome. Luka and Austin did more than enough to earn a win. Teams have adjusted to Kessler on both ends. Can the Lakers counterpunch? | 45m 53s | ||||||
| 10/27/26 | FULL: OKC's injuries change Lakers' approach to this season; Backup center options, lessons; Lol Celtics | Anthony runs through all the ways OKC's injuries (and the salary dumps this summer) impact this season and how the Lakers approach it. He then opens the mailbag where everyone is preeeeetty worries about the Lakers' backup center disaster. He laughs at the Celtics a bit to wrap things up. | 53m 52s | ||||||
| 10/27/26 | PART 1: How OKC's injuries, cap casualties impacts the west picture | OKC suffered two brutal injuries Sunday that completely alter what the entire Western Conference might look like. Anthony explains everything going on there and the impact that should have on how the Lakers approach this season. | 25m 20s | ||||||
| 10/27/26 | PART 2: Rob Pelinka not learning from past mistakes led to Lakers' backup center problem | Rob Pelinka has either had an elite center with no backup or a meh center with an ok backup ever since the Lakers won a ring with an elite center and depth behind him. Anthony explains how not learning from the mistakes made since that championship led directly to Kevon Looney being on this roster right now. He wraps with a couple more questions and a few minutes laughing at the Celtics/Jaylen Brown situations. | 29m 16s | ||||||
| 10/26/26 | FULL: 3-0; Luka goes for fitty; Austin quiets critics; Kessler struggles; Q&A | Anthony breaks down the Lakers' third win of the season against a Jazz team that presented some unique challenges. He marvel's at Luka's incredible production and Austin being a chameleon depending on what the Lakers need from possession to possession. Walker Kessler had his first bad game as a Laker and, in the process, highlighted just how thin the Lakers are behind him. Anthony wraps with a few questions from the live audience. | 49m 57s | ||||||
| 10/26/26 | PART 1: Comeback victory recap; So, this Luka guy (and Austin!) | Maybe the craziest part of Luka's performance as how poorly it started. He and the Lakers dug themselves a hole in that first quarter that Austin Reaves helped chip away at until Luka brought some dynamite. Anthony discusses the game zoomed out, Doncic's performance, Austin's incredible efficiency to start the season and the impact habits had on this game's outcome. | 24m 49s | ||||||
| 10/26/26 | PART 2: Walker Kessler's struggles vs. Utah show REAL center depth weakness | We got a look at what the Lakers' ceiling lowers to if Walker Kessler doesn't have it and, well, it wasn't pretty. Anthony discusses that, then answers a few questions from the live audience. | 25m 50s | ||||||
| 10/23/26 | HOOK: Lakers' first impressions; Strengths; Weaknesses; Backup center fixes | Anthony and Pete discuss what they saw from the Lakers in that first game and look ahead to what they think they'll see from the team moving forward this season. What do they think will be this team's strengths? Weaknesses? Can anything be done about the backup center issues? Could this issue have been avoided? | 1h 08m 46s | ||||||
| 10/23/26 | PART 1: Lakers make a solid first impression; Team strengths | Anthony and Pete really enjoyed that opening night game and think there's a ton to build on. They discuss what they saw from the team in an actual game and try to outline what they think will be strengths this season. | 22m 38s | ||||||
| 10/23/26 | PART 2: Which weaknesses have we seen that the Lakers can address? | Anthony is worried about perimeter defense. Pete is a little less worried about that, but does have some concern about the rebounding. The guys discuss whether or how the Lakers can fix these issues internally or will eventually need to make a change. | 22m 42s | ||||||

| 10/23/26 | PART 3: What can/will the Lakers do about the backup center situation? | Everyone can see it. The Lakers might have the worst backup center in the league. So, what can be done about it and could this have been avoided? The guys discuss that and rehash whether or not they would've just kept Deandre Ayton. | 24m 56s | ||||||
| 10/23/26 | FULL: Yaxel #discourse; More Warriors game notes; Opening week takes: Q&A | Anthony and Harrison discuss the fallout from Yaxel Lendeborg's comments about Luka Doncic and Twitter desire to drag out all these situations until they go from fun banter to nauseating debates. They give their thoughts on that blowout win and some other games from around the league. The guys wrap with a few questions from the live audience. | 1h 01m 19s | ||||||
| 10/23/26 | PART 1: YAXELGATE | The internet is back at its nonsense because of the Yaxel-Luka beef, which Anthony thought was so onesided we wouldn't get this kind of discourse but here we are. | 19m 48s | ||||||
| 10/23/26 | PART 2: Lakers, uh, interesting approach to guarding Steph (and adjustment from it) | The Warriors were able to hang around for just about half the game because the Lakers couldn't contain Steph Curry. The guys discuss the flawed initial approach and what led to the success they had as the game went on. | 20m 32s | ||||||
| 10/23/26 | PART 3: It's been zero days since someone on ESPN said something dumb about the Lakers | Anthony just said a week ago how he's actually enjoyed the way this Lakers team has been analuzed on bigger platforms. Well, that came to screeching halt because we can't have nice things. He and Harrison talk about that and the other topics the live chat brought to the table. | 22m 29s | ||||||
| 10/22/26 | FULL: Lakers blow out Warriors; Luka responds to a rookie mistake; Kessler's perfect debut; Q&A | Holy hell what a fun way to start the season. Anthony talks about Luka Doncic's dominance, especially after Yaxel Lendeborg talked some crazy stuff, Walker Kessler's official debut, JJ Redick's decision with the starters and more. He wraps with some questions from the live audience and laughs at Yaxel's postgame comments. | 51m 58s | ||||||
| 10/22/26 | PART 1: Take it in... The Lakers are back | Anthony breaks down the game but makes sure to spend some time enjoying the fact that the Lakers are back on the court. He highlights Luka Doncic's performance, Walker Kessler's perfection and Austin Reaves filling in the gaps. | 26m 39s | ||||||
| 10/22/26 | PART 2: Yaxel Lendeborg what are you doing | If it wasn't bad enough Yaxel Lendeborg ignited a Lakers run by poking the bear, he kept going at Luka Doncic after the game. Anthony laughs at that situation, answers some questions, then calls it a night. | 26m 04s | ||||||
| 10/21/26 | FULL: Happy Lakers Day; Final predictions; Q&A | The Lakers play basketball today. Anthony rounds up his final predictions, explains his reasoning for them and then wraps up with questions from the live audience. | 50m 01s | ||||||
| 10/21/26 | PART 1: THE NBA. IS. BACK. | The NBA finally tipped off yesterday and, during that action, Anthony gave his final predictions about this Lakers season. How games will this team win? Will Luka finally break through and win his MVP? Who is his biggest threat for the award? | 24m 16s | ||||||
| 10/21/26 | PART 2: Austin, Mamu awards? Playoff expectations; Q&A | Austin Reaves was on pace to make an all-star game last year, at the very least. Then, he got hurt. Anthony makes the case for that pace again this season and what it could mean for Austin's candidacy for end-of-season awards. He talks about Mamu's potential as a sixth-man award winner and then answers questions from the live audience. | 26m 27s | ||||||
| 10/19/26 | BREAKING: Lakers waive Dalton Knecht | Anthony goes live immediately following the Lakers' decision to waive Dalton Knecht. They'd trade for quite some time to find a trade but never pulled the trigger and now one of the more disappointing runs comes to an end. | 56m 55s | ||||||
| 10/19/26 | PART 1: Lakers, Dalton Knecht finally get the break from each other they've needed | The Lakers have held off the inevitable but finally arrived at the end of the road for them and Dalton Knecht. Anthony offers some context to that relationship and where it went awry. | 28m 14s | ||||||
| 10/19/26 | PART 2: Pelinka's old tricks are coming back to bite him; RIP Cali | A listener asked in the Q&A portion of the show how the misunderstanding of trade markets has put the Lakers were they currently find themselves. Anthony laughs about a game he and Harrison used to play, then discusses how wishcasting has hurt the Lakers. Anthony also explains the recent gap in shows. | 29m 23s | ||||||
| 10/16/26 | FULL: Truuuuuuuu | Anthony and Mike Trudell talk Vikings, then some Lakers, then some Vikings again, but mostly Lakers. | 51m 22s | ||||||
