Hello, everybody. Welcome in to the Lakersnation.com live show slash podcast.

If you're joining me live on AMP, welcome. I'm going to be opening up and opening up the call-in line in just a moment, doing an afternoon show.

Typically, we've done these in the evenings, but I thought we do a little, a little earlier in the day show anyway.

So welcome in for everybody joining on AMP.

Again, we'll be opened up the call in line in just a moment,

and we will talk Lakers Basketball that way.

If you're watching over on the YouTube channel,

welcome, guys.

Make sure that you are subscribing to the Lakers Nation YouTube channel,

YouTube.com slash Lakers Nation.

Turn on those notifications as well.

And then podcast listeners, Apple Podcast, Spotify, wherever it is that you're listening to

podcasts, appreciate you for joining us.

Make sure you do give us that five-star rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

Great way to help out the show.
