It’s a USC-UCLA Crosstown Podcast extravaganza in this 74-minute episode featuring co-hosts Michael Castillo and Alicia de Artola, along with Jake Merrfield, Mike Regalado and Jamaal Artis from the What’s Bruin Show. This is Part 2, so be sure to check out Part 1 on the What’s Bruin Show feed for even more rivalry banter and Pac-12 predictions.

What’s in store with this USC podcast:

• Michael, Alicia and the What’s Bruin Show crew react to a new review before diving into the news which includes the departure of three-star DB Jaylen Watson. Plus, a discussion of offensive lineman Austin Jackson’s heroic gesture for his sister as he gets set to undergo surgery to supply a bone marrow transplant.
• Since the guys from the What’s Bruin Show are available, Michael and Alicia pepper them with questions about UCLA and their prospects in 2019. What are the Bruins going to be this year, is recruiting becoming a concern and how close to the hot seat is Chip Kelly? Also, what are the most underrated and overrated aspects of UCLA’s team looking forward.
• The mailbag is full up this week with special questions with a UCLA aim. Those include dealing with houses divided, which team will improve the most before the rivalry game and which quarterback would you rather have: JT Daniels or Dorian Thompson-Robinson?
• More questions from listeners include worries over the BYU game, the word “natty,” trap games, Kedon Slovic and more.
