| 0:10.0 | This is The Good Life. |
| 0:11.3 | I love to do, well, I love to talk to interesting people. |
| 0:15.6 | And one of my favorite people to talk to is Mina Kimes of ESPN. |
| 0:20.2 | She does NFL live, but also does a million other things |
| 0:24.4 | and is an overall smart person and we like smart people on this show. And Mina, it is nice to |
| 0:30.5 | have you on. It's good to catch up. It's been a really long time. It has. I think the first time |
| 0:35.9 | you and I talked was during COVID. |
| 0:38.6 | We did one of these as everybody was bored out of their minds. |
| 0:43.1 | And, you know, you've maintained there at ESPN. |
| 0:46.8 | A lot of the people that I really liked over the years have slowly fallen to the side. |
| 0:52.6 | But Mina remains holding the foredown. So I'm glad to see that. |
| 0:57.3 | I do my best. Yeah, we're very lucky that NFL Live, which is my main show, ESPN, has stayed together |

| 2:08.7 | some it's on site. It's all over the place, but a lot of on site this year. Tell people, tell people |
