| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.4 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.3 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.6 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:12.8 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.8 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.4 | I don't think you have to do things for money |
| 0:22.4 | anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Filmroom podcast, brought to by the Blue Wire |
| 0:26.7 | Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And yesterday was the first day of training camp. |

And so what I would say, Mike, the impression that I got was that yesterday was kind of, you know, the first day of a class where the professor will give out the syllabus and this is what to expect. |
| 1:30.2 | These are kind of my, these are my non-negotiables, which was a phrase that really stood out to me. |
| 1:35.7 | I think that's a great place to start. |
