Mina Kimes

So it is or maybe was an embarrassing position in 2012.

I did fall in love with Peyton Manning because he and I both shared the biological curse of high foreheads.

And so...

Again, that was just game-recognized game.

And yeah, since Peyton has retired, I've basically been an absolute free agent.

That was C-SPAN.

Before I knew how to do my makeup on television, I looked like an insane person on C-SPAN.

Anyways, that is our lore.

That is Derek and I's lore.

So there you go.

I will answer this question directly.

It's probably not where Mina's going to go.

Before we started hating each other offline about artificial intelligence, after the first or second lunch that we had, Mina sent me a photograph of young Tim Pawlenty, former rising star in the Republican Party, and said, Derek,

Do you realize that you look exactly like young Tim Pawlenty?

And I think one really has to, like, remember the world of 2012 to even, like, live inside of this reference.

It is genuinely one of the most hateful things you can possibly accuse your Democratic friend of being.

It's a testament, really, to just how charming and smart Nina is that even despite this just horrendous offense, I was like, you know what?

She's still pretty fun to hang out with.

I guess we can still get drinks.

Okay.
