Welcome to That's what she said. Conversations with interesting people from the world of sports,

music, comedy and more. Talking about their lives, careers, successes and failures.

0:21.1

I'm Mina Kimes and my dilemma is I have the cutest, smartest, most charismatic dog in the

0:27.4

world, but he's not good with strangers and yet everyone who sees him wants to pet him

0:32.1

and when I tell them no, they're really insulting.

1:29.8

it's just friends who are bummed that they can't snuggle with the famous Lenny, you just

1:33.5
