While sports are central to PMS, the show also covers topics such as music, popular culture, literature, politics, and history.
Once their show has begun, Papadakis and Smith announce a word, number, and song of the day, usually in relation to sports headlines or the outcomes of games of local interest.
Monday", "Tired of the Lies/La Tuya/Racist/Tu Hermano Tuesday", "Win Forever/Chin Forever Wednesday/We Just Won't Be Defeated Wednesday/Walk your bike/Watch your mouth", "Crunchy Groove/Three Things/Inglewood/Tap That Thursday", and "Frogman/Free-form Friday".
[2] As of mid-July 2009, Monday's "Tell Me How My Ass Tastes" handle was deemed no longer relevant in light of Kobe's answer to Shaq's June 2008 dis rap from which it was derived.
Tuesday and Thursday's third hour feature an entirely different format in the time slot, with Papadakis and Smith taking calls as their alter egos.
On Thursday, Papadakis assumes the identity of Lance Romance, a "ladies man" who lives in Newport Beach, drives a red Mazda Miata with 24-inch spinning rims, and supposedly drives up to the studio in Burbank, California every Thursday to take calls from people of Los Angeles, to whom he distributes love and relationship advice.
Lance Romance does not, as some might expect, encourage his committed callers to cheat on their wives or spouses, often telling those contemplating such a decision that it will "ruin your life".
On Tuesday, Smith's alter ego (and, according to the storyline, Lance Romance's cousin) Vance Finance, a wealthy real estate tycoon and investment banker, flies in by helicopter to dole out financial advice and offer the occasional college and pro football picks to the show's listeners.
The last half hour of every show is devoted to a "Not Sports Report", where Smith and Papadakis take turns describing recent news stories in a wide range of sports-independent topics, including pop culture.
Figgers, whose jingle refers to his "Deep" roots in South LA, "78th and Vermont", tries to vary his musical style to differentiate from Facio's.
A number of current and former interns to the show are frequent contributors, especially on Fridays, during the "Lessons Learned" segment that anchors the second hour, all of whom have at some point, been honored with jingles by Bush.
His jingle mentions his now-former position as the show's "Twitter Bandit" and his infamous "Man Date" where he went to dinner with a friend, which had him mocked mercilessly.
