Anthony and Mike Trudell talk Vikings, then some Lakers, then some Vikings again, but mostly Lakers.

Bill Simmons didn't sound exactly thrilled in his pod about the Lakers exceeding their over/under for wins this year so he asked a different question -- which has bounced around in Anthony's brain. So, Anthony asks Mike Trudell... what would he consider a successful Lakers season?

Anthony and Mike discuss the Lakers' approach to a position they knew they had to enlist a committee for. Also, Vikings talk. Yes. Vikings talk.

The Dodgers' season is on the brink. Anthony and Raj talk about the similarities to injury information between the two franchises and how no one actually benefits from this. From there, the guys talk about some of their top takeaways from preseason so far. They offer some grades on some players, then wrap with a Q&A with the live audience.

Anthony made the mistake of recording during the Dodgers game. This led to a(nother) rant about injury information/management as it may have ended the Dodgers' attempt at a three-peat. The guys segue from there to their impressions of training camp almost exactly one week from opening night.

Twitter jumped to conclusion about one of Anthony's tweets that has made him question humanity. He and Raj talk about what he actually meant. We know the Lakers are going to use Mamu at the five. Here's why Austin makes sense for those lineups.

Raj makes the case for the Wizards as a play-in team. Anthony outlines how deep the east is. A listener asks about Quentin Grimes' IQ, which leads to a fun conversation about his basketball IQ and the ideal role for him.

Anthony and Harrison really enjoyed what they saw from Walker Kessler. That's far and away the biggest story of the night. They do talk about Austin's best game of the preseason and what the Lakers need from him, too, the Lakers' weird handling of injury info and a couple other topics before diving into the chat for a few fun questions.

The Lakers have a lot riding on Walker Kessler looking exactly like he looked last night. The guys talked about his impressive debut.

The Lakers need A LOT out of Austin. They got a glimpse of it tonight. Anthony wants to know if we can see this Austin consistently enough to make the contract feel worthwhile.

After Anthony and Harrison had a little chuckle about the haiku a Shogun would write about that game, a viewer actually dropped one. The guys then talked about Ghost of Tsushima.
