Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakers Nation.com live podcast. I'm Trevor Lane,

happy to have you all here coming in from X from Facebook, from, of course, YouTube.

We've got a lot to talk about tonight. The Lakers now have a little bit of time off as we get ready

for next Sundays, next preseason games. We're going to talk a little bit about what we've learned, plus that little ad spot, whatever that is, that promo that LeBron dropped, what does it mean is a retirement announcement on the way? We'll talk about that as well. Joining me and my good buddy, Alan Slewa. Alan, how you doing, man? What's going on? Trev. How are you, brother?

I'm, I'm recovering. I'm recovering, Alan. I, uh, yeah, I know you're a Padres fan. Um, I, I am more in the casual category of baseball. I consider myself a Dodger fan, but I'm not like a diehard watching every single game, all that kind of stuff like my guys over Dr. Blue do.

And oh my God, that may have been as stressed out as I've ever been in a baseball game before. My goodness, the dog, it was everything they possibly could to scare the life out

of us. Even the final, just a routine throw to first and they throw it into the dirt.

Oh, thank goodness.

Baseball, baseball has a way. I mean, as stressful as, yeah, the NBA can be, an NFL game

can be. Baseball has this just weird way of every single pitch is just dreadful.

The game could change like that.

So no, definitely see where you're coming from on that one.

I was on pins and needles for sure.

But the Dodgers got the win.

If anybody's wondering, go check out the guys over at Dodger Blue.

They're doing a great job covering the whole series where things are going from here.

You can find their YouTube channel as well.

I've got the links to that on the Lakers Nation.

YouTube channel.

It's our sister site slash channel.

Alan, we've got obviously a lot of Lakers stuff to get into,

but I guess first I need to get your take.
