Speaker C:What is your Mount Rushmore of Robert films?
Speaker B:Good question.
Speaker B:I don't know if this is going to be a shocker, but I was not a big Robert Duvall fan to the point where I would know most of his movies.

Speaker C:Oh, man.
Speaker C:And produce, I'm sure producer Ella.
Speaker C:Producer Ella smiling in the background here before we bring her on, because I've always asked her all these movie questions, and she has no idea any of the references I make, but those are some solid picks, Jen.
Speaker C:Those are kind of far afield of where I expected you to go.
Speaker B:Did I miss one?
Speaker B:That's, like, your top.
Speaker C:Well, the one he's most hallowed for is the Godfather, of course.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:And then the one that I actually hold a sweet spot in my heart for is To Kill a Mockingbird, because he plays Boo Radley in that.
Speaker C:It's one of his first.
Speaker C:First ever movie roles.
Speaker B:All right, Chris, I get to ask you one now.
Speaker B:So with the Winter Olympics in full swing, curling is having a moment.
Speaker B:At least at my house, it is.
Speaker B:What'?
Speaker B:The most Minnesota winter sport you've ever, ever taken part in?
Speaker C:Yeah, I mean, believe it or not, for me, it's actually curling.
Speaker C:I did that once, and it was actually.
Speaker C:It was pretty fun.
Speaker C:I mean, you're in Michigan.
Speaker C:Have you ever curled.
Speaker C:Jen, I'm curious.
Speaker C:And also, did you see the fracas between the Canadians and the Swedish team?
Speaker C:That was.
Speaker C:If you haven't seen that on social media, everybody Take a look at that.
Speaker C:Like, there were F bombs exchanged between them.
Speaker C:It's pretty.
Speaker C:It's pretty intense.
Speaker B:I have not curled.
Speaker B:I've seen, like, curling things when it's winter here, and I just walk by them and smile.
Speaker B:But my.
Speaker B:My youngest was watching it with us, and she was like, mom, they're cleaning.
Speaker B:Look at them.
Speaker B:They're cleaning again.
Speaker B:So it was fun in our house to learn a little bit about the scoring and such.
Speaker C:They're sweeping.
Speaker B:Sweeping.
Speaker C:Producer Ella.
Speaker C:Have you ever curled?
Speaker C:You're from Minnesota.
Speaker C:You've probably curled, right?
Speaker C:You haven't curled either, have you?
Speaker C:Curled.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker A:You have to.
Speaker A:There used to be a curling club in St. Paul, so, yeah, like, a few years ago, I think it came.
Speaker A:It came like something in vogue to be doing, but it was not good.
Speaker A:I. I just skipped right to hockey.
Speaker A:No, curling.
Speaker A:That was.
Speaker A:That was actually the girls equivalent that they suggested when I was in high school was, well, we're not gonna have a hockey team for women, so try curling.
Speaker A:See how that goes.
Speaker A:It was not the same at all.
Speaker B:But the hockey gender gap that I see.
Speaker A:Yes, there's a hockey gender gap.
Speaker A:100%.
Speaker A:Not anymore, but back then, yeah, it
Speaker C:became, like, the default, like, company activity for a period of time.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker C:And, like, a lot of companies were having their, like, annual parties at the St. Paul, like, curling rink or whatever it's called.
Speaker B:But.
Speaker C:All right, well, good to know that two of us have curled and two of us have not.
