The hour wraps with Do You Care, LA? featuring Giannis’ Bucks farewell, Donovan Mitchell’s Cavs extension, and Kyle Lowry retiring as a Raptor.

Brock & Alex dive deeper into Dalton Rushing’s big night at Dodger Stadium after he got into it with Rockies rookie Cole Carrigg, then delivered the walk-off hit in extra innings. With Will Smith on the IL, Rushing is turning a bigger role into a real opportunity and bringing some edge to the Dodgers. Lori Lindsey joins the show to break down the USMNT’s World Cup exit, what Belgium exposed, and what U.S. Soccer has to fix moving forward before the hour wraps with Spill The Tea.

The show then turns back to the Lakers, where LeBron James’ cold exit appears tied to the franchise fully shifting its future toward Luka Doncic.

Brock and Alex open with Rui Hachimura leaving the Lakers to sign with the Clippers, adding even more pressure on the Lakers’ front office to replace a proven wing. They also react to the Dodgers missing a chance to sweep the Padres after Manny Machado’s late three-run homer, plus the strange Mark Prior pitching-change moment. The hour continues with Folarin Balogun being cleared for USMNT vs. Belgium and wraps with Do You Care LA topics, including Eury Pérez being pulled during a perfect game bid, Neymar retiring from Brazil, and Giannis hinting at wanting LeBron in Miami.

Hour 2 starts with Shohei Ohtani returning to the Dodgers lineup after a right biceps issue, while the team still monitors whether he’ll pitch again before the All-Star break. The Lakers conversation continues with their search for a backup center behind Walker Kessler, with Kevon Looney and Jonas Valanciunas on the radar.

The hour finishes with Andy Pages earning his first career All-Star selection and becoming one of the best Dodgers stories of the first half.

Hour 4 opens with Lakers rookie Cameron Carr’s strong Summer League start after scoring 26 points against Miami, raising the question of whether this is real or just July hype.

Brock and Alex discussed the Dodgers pushing Shohei Ohtani’s start back from the A’s finale to Friday against the Padres, weighing whether it was about rest, health, matchup, or all of the above. They also looked back on LeBron James’ Lakers run after news that he is not expected to return, asking whether his time in LA was a success, if one championship was enough, and whether he deserves a statue. The hour wrapped with LA Sports RSVP, including ONE PIECE Night at Dodger Stadium, Fourth of July fireworks, Muscle Beach, and Anime Expo.

Brock and Alex previewed the Dodgers’ longest homestand of the season, with the Padres, Rockies, and Diamondbacks coming to Dodger Stadium before the All-Star break.

Brock and Alex compare the LA runs of LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard. LeBron delivered a championship to the Lakers but leaves with fans debating if one title was enough, while Kawhi’s Clippers era ends with injuries, disappointment, and no Finals appearances.

Brock and Alex are joined by Max Bretos to preview Team USA’s knockout match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. They discuss the pressure on the U.S. men’s national team, Christian Pulisic’s return, LA’s growing soccer culture, and what a deep World Cup run could mean for the sport in America.

Brock & Alex opened the show reacting to the breaking news that LeBron James informed the Lakers he plans to continue his NBA career elsewhere. The hour focused entirely on the end of LeBron’s eight-year run in Los Angeles, what his departure means for Lakers fans, and whether the 2020 championship makes his Lakers era a success no matter how it ends. They also discussed how the franchise now fully becomes Luka Doncic’s team, the pressure on Rob Pelinka, and where LeBron could go next.

Hour 2 started with the complicated Warriors cap conversation and whether Golden State could actually be a real option for LeBron James. Brock & Alex broke down the Bobby Marks and Yossi Gozlan reports, explaining how the Warriors would need a lot of moving pieces to make a LeBron/Anthony Davis dream scenario work.

Hour 3 focused on the Lakers’ next steps after LeBron’s decision, especially their search for a center.

The hour then shifted to the Lakers, with Deandre Ayton opting in but the team still needing a true starting center. The final segment focused on Kawhi Leonard’s future, whether the Clippers should sell high, and whether the Raptors make sense as the one team that could gamble on him again.

They preview the weekend pitching matchups, including Roki Sasaki, Walker Buehler, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Michael King. Then they shift to the Lakers’ first-round pick Cameron Carr, his connection to Kobe Bryant through his dad Chris Carr, and whether his athleticism, shooting and length can become a real Lakers fit. Hour 1 closes with Do You Care LA on MLB players wanting prop bets banned, the Mets firing Carlos Mendoza, and George Kittle calling out NFL teams over World Cup grass.

Hour 2 starts with the Dodgers being used as the face of MLB’s salary cap conversation and why players like Miguel Rojas are tired of the team being blamed for baseball’s spending problem. Brock and Alex discuss whether the Dodgers are bad for baseball or just the model every team should try to copy. Then Tony Gwynn Jr. joins the show to preview Dodgers-Padres from the San Diego side and break down the rivalry, the nine-game gap, Roki Sasaki and the Padres’ pressure this weekend.

Hour 3 resets the Lakers’ entire week, from Austin Reaves getting paid, to Cameron Carr being drafted, to LeBron James’ contract decision, to the center search still being unanswered.

Brock and Alex open the show with the Dodgers completing the sweep of the Twins and reaching the halfway point of the season with the best record in baseball.

The hour also gets into the Lakers adding AK Okereke on a two-way deal while still failing to address their biggest need at center after passing on a second-round pick.

The conversation centers on how the Rams have to maximize this Super Bowl window while Stafford is still elite. The hour also hits the Dodgers’ trade deadline dream: Tarik Skubal. If the Tigers make him available, the Dodgers should check in, but the price would be massive. The hour wraps with a Lakers reset after the draft, the Reaves deal, and the ongoing center search.

Hour 4 previews the Dodgers opening their weekend series against the Padres at Petco Park with a chance to stretch their NL West lead even more. The Dodgers have created major separation in the division, but Padres-Dodgers still brings rivalry energy. The hour also gets into the growing momentum around Aaron Donald possibly coming out of retirement to join Myles Garrett on the Rams. If Donald returns, the Rams defense immediately becomes one of the scariest units in the NFL and the move would feel like a true Super Bowl statement.

The hour closed with Do You Care LA, featuring Olympic athletes getting paid, Jazz Chisholm’s lollipop drama and the Celtics trying to clean up Jaylen Brown trade rumors.

The second hour focused on the Lakers trading up to No. 24 to draft Cameron Carr and why the pick gives them shooting, athleticism and upside, but still does not solve their biggest issue at center. Brock and Alex reset the Austin Reaves conversation while looking at Rob Pelinka’s next move and the Lakers’ offseason pressure. They also talked Dodgers, with Kyle Tucker dealing with back spasms and the team hoping to get him back for the Padres series, before wrapping the hour with LA RSVP.

Hour 3 centered on the biggest Lakers question left after the Reaves deal and Cameron Carr pick: what happens now with LeBron James? Brock and Alex broke down how the Lakers can still pay LeBron, but how a max deal could make roster building harder with Luka, Reaves and LeBron all making major money. The hour also featured Claire De Lune joining the show to discuss Reaves’ value, his fit next to Luka, LeBron’s contract situation and what the Lakers still need to fix.

The final hour shifted back to the Dodgers as Shohei Ohtani got the ball against the Twins with a chance to finish off a road sweep. Brock and Alex discussed what they want to see from Ohtani, how the Dodgers are managing his workload and why every start feels like another step toward October. Senior NBA reporter for the California post, Melissa Rohlin also joined the show to talk Lakers, including the Reaves deal, Cameron Carr, the center search, LeBron’s future and the pressure on Rob Pelinka to finish the offseason strong.

Its Brock & Alex with Alex Curry and Ben Stevens in for Brock Vereen! In Hour 1 opens with the Lakers at No. 25 in the NBA Draft and why Rob Pelinka needs to find a real rotation piece, not just take a swing on a name. Then the Dodgers become the first team in baseball to reach 50 wins after a 2-1 win over the Twins, but the injuries to Kyle Tucker and Dalton Rushing make the win feel costly. The hour closes with Do You Care LA, featuring Ronaldo making World Cup history, a Vegas NBA expansion bid, and the Blazers hiring Micah Nori.

Its Brock & Alex with Alex Curry and Ben Stevens in for Brock Vereen! Hour 2 starts with Giannis going to Miami and why it was never really the right Lakers move, because LA needs fit, shooting, defense, size, and depth around Luka and LeBron more than another superstar name.

The hour ends with the Dodgers’ Ohtani workload conversation, asking how careful they need to be with his blister, knee inflammation, and pitching schedule.

The hour wraps with an NBA Draft preview, looking at the top of the class and whether this could be one of the next great draft groups.

Its Brock & Alex with Alex Curry and Ben Stevens in for Brock Vereen! Hour 4 previews Dodgers-Twins Game 2, with Justin Wrobleski facing Joe Ryan and the Dodgers needing cleaner offense after relying on solo homers in the opener. Khobi Price joins to break down the Lakers at No. 25, what type of player they need, and how much pressure is on Pelinka this offseason. The show closes with crosstalk into DMac and Reiter.

Brock and Alex opened with the Dodgers’ biggest lineup issue: nobody has locked down the No. 2 spot behind Shohei Ohtani. Dave Roberts is not ignoring the offensive problem, but he is shifting attention to what the Dodgers are doing well — playing elite defense, saving runs, and winning with fundamentals. The hour also hit the Lakers’ Giannis rumor cycle, with the real focus being whether LA can land a center or frontcourt piece through a bigger trade. Do You Care LA closed the hour with Dusty May leaving Michigan for the Mavericks, Marketa Vondrousova’s doping ban, and Wyndham Clark winning another U.S. Open.

The second hour focused on Shohei Ohtani’s Cy Young chances starting to fade. His MVP case is still strong, but after recent rougher starts and limited innings in the Dodgers’ six-man rotation, the award path is getting tougher. Anthony Irwin joined to break down the Lakers’ offseason, Giannis rumors, possible center targets, LeBron’s future, Austin Reaves, and the No. 25 pick. The hour wrapped with Freddie Freeman calling out MLB’s draft proposal, arguing that eliminating high school players from the draft and cutting rounds is more about saving owners money than growing baseball.

Hour 3 previewed the Dodgers opening a nine-game road trip in Minnesota against a Twins team playing better than its record. The Dodgers have dropped back-to-back games, while the Twins have won three straight series, making this a sneakier matchup than it looks. The Lakers draft conversation centered on finding the right fit next to Luka Dončić at pick No. 25, whether that is a lob-threat center or an athletic 3-and-D wing. The hour also hit the World Cup’s success in LA after Team USA’s 4-1 win at SoFi, with the city buying into the atmosphere despite traffic and ticket concerns.

The final hour reset the Dodgers-Twins opener, with Eric Lauer getting the ball as LA begins its long road stretch. Lauer has been a sneaky important arm for the Dodgers, but Minnesota already hit him hard earlier this season, making this a real test. The show also reset the Lakers’ biggest offseason questions, including the draft, whether Giannis was ever realistic, and how Rob Pelinka builds around Luka. Cross talk with DMac and Reiter touched on Messi becoming the all-time World Cup goal scorer, the Lakers at No. 25, Giannis rumors, and MLB’s draft proposal.

Brock & Alex opened the show with the Dodgers continuing to win close games, but the bigger question was how aggressive they should be with Shohei Ohtani while he is dealing with a knee issue and a blister. The hour also touched on another Mike Trout injury and what it means for the Angels, before wrapping with Do You Care, LA!

Hour 2 featured Rams defensive back Quentin Lake in studio to talk about the Rams’ defense, Myles Garrett, team expectations and the energy around the upcoming season.

The hour closed with a USA-Australia World Cup preview, focusing on Christian Pulisic’s injury, the U.S. attack, and Australia’s physical style.

Brock & Alex reset the Dodgers’ injury concerns, especially Tyler Glasnow’s delayed return, Will Smith’s lingering neck issue and Teoscar Hernández’s progress toward a rehab assignment. They also discussed whether Rui Hachimura could be the Lakers’ odd man out as the team tries to reshape the roster around Luka, LeBron and Austin Reaves. The hour wrapped with the Rams-Seahawks rivalry, Jared Verse’s parting message, Seattle’s trolling and why Christmas Day in Seattle is already circled.

Hour 4 previewed the Dodgers-Orioles weekend series at Dodger Stadium, with Roki Sasaki opening the series and the Dodgers trying to keep stacking wins at home. The show then welcomed Draymond Green to talk defense in today’s NBA, the Warriors’ future, LeBron’s evolving role with the Lakers, Luka’s impact in L.A. and the difference between player perspective and traditional media. The show closed with crosstalk into D’Mac and Reiter.

Brock and Alex open the show with the Dodgers completing their sweep of the Rays behind Freddie Freeman’s go-ahead home run and three scoreless innings from the bullpen. Shohei Ohtani was not fully sharp while pitching through a blister and knee inflammation, but the Dodgers still found a way to win their third straight one-run game. The hour also includes Tim Barbalace joining to preview the Orioles-Dodgers series, then wraps with Do You Care LA on Trae Young, Ronaldo’s quiet World Cup debut, and the Dodgers’ One Piece and Luka Dončić promo nights.
