| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.4 | Do 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 part show because once the game starts, you have a game face. |
| 0:17.7 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.4 | I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to Laker Film Room podcast, brought to you by the Blue Art Podcast Network.

| 1:21.7 | Just like it was a thing for Trey Young to say, like, it's winner go home for us. for us. So Tray Young came back. He was clearly not |
| 1:32.1 | himself and clearly not, like, he probably should have sat if that was sort of the level of |
