It's a great week to be a sports fan in LA! Not only are the Dodgers on fire, not only are the Angels clawing their way to the post season, not only did the Rams beat the Raiders in a pre season matchup, and not only is USC football right around the corner. In addition to all of that, there's a sporting event so ridiculous that it's captured all our hearts and deserves our attention. That is of course Mayweather vs McGregor! The guys discuss all of that plus, a little NBA team from Indiana that no one cares about has decided to pick a fight with the big dogs by accusing our beloved Lakers of "tampering." Suck it, Pacers!

Guess who the hottest team in baseball is... hint, it's not the Dodgers. Ok, we'll tell you, it's the Angels! They've gone on a 6 game win streak and currently hold the second AL wild card spot.

Also updated are the Rams and Chargers training camps. Plus the Galaxy played... kind of. On top of that, the guys were out at the Mayan Theater this week for Lucha VaVOOM! That show did not disappoint... and neither does this one!
