Special guest Bruce Bernstein, of the 48 Minutes podcast on the Bleav Network and formerly of ESPN, joins the show to discuss his experiences with ESPN and share our stories about Los Angeles Lakers legends Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Kurt Rambis, Byron Scott, and more!

On a special episode of the Jello Jigglin podcast to honor Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, Matthew "The Optimist" Peralta of Lakers Nation joins the show to talk about how we covered the five-time NBA champion during his 20-year career, what he meant to our careers, a ton of memories, and how the icon figure impacted sports and the city of Los Angeles.

We also talk a little about the Los Angeles Dodgers, Shoei Ohtani, and the current state of the Lakers as they head into a season filled with uncertainty in perhaps the final stretch of the LeBron James-Anthony Davis era of the Purple and Gold.

Six months after the Los Angeles Lakers unveiled the first of three statues for Kobe Bryant outside of Crypto.com Arena (Staples Center), the team announced that the second statue, featuring the Hall of Famer's daughter Gigi Bryant, will be unveiled on August 2, 2024.
