Hello, everybody. Welcome in. Trevor Lane here for Lakers Nation.com. You're home for everything. Lakers. Today, on the show, we've got a special guest. It's Lakers Forward, Cole Swider.

Cole. Thanks so much for coming on. How are you doing?

Doing well, man. Thanks for having me out here in Mexico City with the G-League team. So it's definitely different out here.

But I'm excited to be on the show. And yeah uh, and yeah, man, just, just grind into the season. How is, how is the season treat to you?
