all the good stuff for my favorite pumpkin pie either way i hope everyone is having a fantastic

thanksgiving we'll talk a bit of lakers basketball here before i do though typically what i would do

is i would finish out a show like this by saying what i'm thankful for but i figured let let's flip things around. It might be cliche and everything. But I want to express my thanks. And it's not necessarily my thanks for, you know, Lakers basketball or whatever. No, my thanks is for all of you. For everybody that's out there that's watching, that's been listening to this show, for those you guys who know the story of kind of how this all started,

this has been a labor of love that I started up,

the Lakers Nation.com podcast a long,

long time ago.

And it's become such a great outlet for me.

I never anticipated this becoming my career.

And here we are. And so I just want to thank all of you for, for me. I never anticipated this becoming my career and here we are. And so I just want to thank all of you for making that possible and for watching and listening and commenting. It's the

community that we have built. It blows me away every single day. I'm just so incredibly thankful

for the ability to get to do this, to get to do

what I love. And it's not possible without all of you. So very much appreciate all of you out

there watching and listening. All right. Enough of the sappy stuff. Let's talk a little bit about

some Lakers basketball, specifically that game against the Phoenix Suns.'s talk a little bit about some Lakers basketball, specifically that

game against the Phoenix Suns. I was a little bit fired up in the postgame about what

happened with Patrick Beverly and DeAndre Aiton. And I think a lot of the Lakers were. In fact,

a lot of their comments have been very supportive of Patrick Beverly, if it's just some of the

things that the Lakers were saying.

I mean, Patrick, you've got Russell Westbrook, a former enemy of Pat Mev,

saying that he loved it.

Darvin Ham spoke out in support of Pat.
