Palais leaned in and said something to Freddie.

Don't let them change you.

Keep working on what makes you different and what

makes you special. It was great advice, but it caused me some problems. But what could change

Freddie adieu? Soccer is going to explode and it's going to be around this kid. We're the

Beatles. Everywhere we went, it was the Freddie show. And with that came the expectation,

and with that came the pressure.

New episodes of American Prodigy dropped Tuesdays from Blue Wire podcasts.

What do you think about the Laker team now?

You follow the box scores of the games every day? Just the Lakers.

You're kidding. That is really a compliment i was pleased to see

you smile at the top part show because once the game starts you have a game face you don't smile much

out there i don't think you have to do things for money anymore correct what's up laker fans welcome

with laker film room podcast brought to you by Indeed and BetOnline.ag. I'm Pete, joined as always by Darius and Mike. And first, let us start. I want to congratulate you, Mike. You're, according to the press release, at least, about to start your 10th year as the Lakers sideline reporter. I thought you were in like year 12 or 13. Am I wrong there or is there? What's the discrepancy there? Well, thank you. That's kind of you to say. It was not expecting us to go in that direction. So 2008 was when I came to the Lakers and started, but I was just doing, you know, Lakers.com, etc., etc., etc. And then once the main man, John Ireland, went from sideline reporter to play-by-play, I started doing sideline just. So my first year was just K-Cal Road games. Remember how it was K-KL Road? Yeah. And then Foxholm, yeah. Yeah.

So there you go. So that's the 10th full full time season now. Yeah. So I'm back. I'm back. Well, we're we're lucky to have you. And by the time this is published, it'll be a game day, right? And so in this pod, we're going to preview, it's going to be in two segments.

And in the first segment, we're going to talk about what we're looking forward to seeing in this preseason.

And I'm very much of the belief that every part of this season is going to need to have a point to it,
