Yeah. He was great. I'm so blown away by his... He's not dead. I'm so blown away by his loyalty to us. And he's still a key contributor on our show. And he's carved out quite the interesting character for himself as well. Love Amin Alhassan.

And I can't really fully articulate well enough how much that meant in a pretty vulnerable time for us, for him to leave everything behind and be like, I'm with you guys no matter what. Pablo, he was more like, I'm right or wait a couple of years.

I'm right or let me wait a couple of years and see if this works.

He knew that it would be difficult. He knew that it would be very different. He knew that he wouldn't have the same platform and he knew that he wanted to be with us. So immense love for Mina Elhassan. I'll take your direction there. Let's talk about Mina Kimes. Mina Kimes was someone that we both had identified.

Dan, I think you deserve a little bit more credit than you afford yourself here on Mina because I had reviewed the tape and my ultimate takeaway was I I really want to get Mina in here. I really do. I fear that she's like too green for this and maybe she needs a few more months, some more exposure on our show. Maybe we have a few more guest hits.

And I was in West Palm Beach and we spoke like early Sunday morning. And you're like, you sure about Mina? Because I think we can make that work. I'm like, well, I mean, there's a reason why you're circling back on me. Because I kind of felt like we decided let's table that for a little bit. And you circled back on it and made me think about all the things in different prism.

And I guess you caught me at the right time. I was like, you know what? F it. We'd had pretty good luck getting to know people on the air. Let's ride. Let's see how this goes. And my concerns were valid, incredibly green. But I wasn't that hip to how much of that would be an asset to us, how charming that would be, how endearing that would be to an audience.

And then when she sat in here, like, look, I knew Mina Kimes was smart. I had been a fan, but I had no idea how smart and how easily she could make her intelligence accessible to the listener. She was smart without making people feel stupid. And that's a very special quality because I'd line her intelligence up against anybody, including John Amici's on our show.

But out of everybody, Pablo include Pablo is very bad at this because he makes people feel dumb. I'm bad at it. Yeah. Dan's bad at it. Terrible. No one's been better in media than Mina at this one specific.

On the 17th time, no less. Mina bought in from day one. Mina loved the sandbox, wanted to have more fun. She wasn't eager in ways that you would probably put a negative connotation on. She wasn't ever really about advancing her career. Never came off that way. Her career advanced naturally because she was just so good. She kept growing and growing. She got better with every appearance.
