Three Guys Around a Table and The Best Of…
We Honor Robert Duvall, Argue The Greatest Action Hero, And Laugh Through Olympic Chaos
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The room’s cold, the takes are hot, and we open with heart: a salute to Robert Duvall at 95 that turns into an impromptu film school. We trade favorite roles—Tom Hagen’s calm power in The Godfather, Kilgore’s unshakeable swagger in Apocalypse Now, the warmth of Secondhand Lions, even a Twilight Zone deep cut—and try to name what made Duvall unforgettable. It isn’t volume or flash. It’s presence, the kind that sneaks up on you and won’t let go.
From there, we blast straight to the Winter Olympics. Hockey dust-ups, high-speed sleds, and ski jumps that dare gravity get a full breakdown, with a sharp detour into curling controversy: Canada vs Sweden, finger-on-the-rock accusations, and the awkwardness of being caught on video. We debate what makes a sport feel fair—stopwatches and tape measures vs the murk of judging—and why fans love clean wins, even as artistry keeps us arguing.
Then we throw gloves on for the Action Movie Star Bracket, courtesy of our fearless “Producer Dr. Mellon.” Tom Cruise slices past nostalgia, Keanu Reeves rides the John Wick legend, Harrison Ford reminds us he’s more than a fedora, Arnold flexes the Predator era, and Stallone drags the 80s into the present with Rocky, Rambo, and Expendables punch. The semifinals are brutal. The final—Cruise vs Stallone—tests precision against range. We crown Stallone, not because he’s flashier, but because his characters grow with us. The stories feel earned.
To cool down, we dabble in a 60 Minutes riff on ultra-processed foods and the infamous Olestra era, then stage a Canadian candy taste test: Coffee Crisp wins on texture and balance; Eat More becomes a dental event. It’s messy, human, and exactly the sort of left turn that makes this hangout sing—great films, wild sports, and the kind of everyday debates that bring friends back to the table.
If you had the final vote, who’s your greatest action star ever? Hit play, subscribe for more spirited showdowns, and drop your GOAT in a review so we can argue it next time.
Meet The Three Friends
SPEAKER_02Three guys around a table. By three guys, we're talking about three friends. A lawyer, an engineer, and a school superintendent.

SPEAKER_02Isn't that where he says something about like bumping his race in? Yeah, rubbing his racing rubbing his racing, yeah, yeah. Um I'll tell you, I'll give you one that's not a movie, but a TV show. And it's one of the lesser-known ones, but it was from season four of Twilight Zone. It was an hour-long episode called The Miniatures. And Robert Duval plays this guy that he lives with his mother, and he goes to the museum and he sees this miniature house with this little little doll, and he falls in love with the little doll.

He was in bowling true grit. And by the way, just a trivia question from that, I guess. I guess we could say that it could be a fun fact. Who played Hot Lips Houlihan in the MASH movie? Who also just recently passed away? Loretta Switch No, that was in the TV show. Who was in the movie? Sophia Loren. Sally Kellerman, who also played the professor in Rodney Dangerfield's Back to School. Yes! Yes. Oh, fun fact. Fun fact? Okay, here we go.

Duvall Deep Cuts And Trivia
SPEAKER_02Uh say don't do it again?
SPEAKER_03They basically they put them in the pendul db.
SPEAKER_02That's true. Well, so um with uh, you know, with with Tom Wilson, um Team Canada, they just say, you know, don't do that again. The guy that fought for France, the French Olympic committee today booted him for the rest of the of the of the time. Here you go. Yeah. Said it's it was against the spirit of Olympic competition. Uh they obviously don't watch too much hockey in France. So but no hockey for sure. Uh what about you?
SPEAKER_04I like all the skiing. I don't care. I was watching Super G. I was watching the women's downhill, um, the men's downhill. It's and then of course we were watching uh big hill jumping when we came in. I just I like all the skiing events. Still can't do the ice skating. I tried, I tried, I tried, I can't.
SPEAKER_03Janie and Hallie love watching the ice skating. But I really like watching dancing or whatever it is. Can't do it. No, so we usually watch that at night. But look, if it's anything racing, I can watch it.
SPEAKER_04You know what I enjoy? I really watch the Australia. I like watching the Australians and the Canadians yell at each other over curling. Don't be a cheater. Don't take your finger and push the rock afterwards. And then call him out of it. When you let go of it, don't touch it again, bruh. Yeah. We called him out, and then the guy got just automatically defensive.
SPEAKER_02I think it was Sweden that called him out, wasn't it?
SPEAKER_04Oh, they were in yellow. I thought it was Australia.
SPEAKER_02I think it was Sweden because the guy had a you know it's bad when Sweden came out. We videoed it. We show you after a match.
SPEAKER_04Sweden. I'm gonna type in Canadian cheaters.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Uh and that guy lost his mind. Started cussing the guy out.
SPEAKER_03Well, I mean, I I totally support his response.
SPEAKER_02Yes, I believe that you would.
SPEAKER_03But I mean, it I I I could get behind exact saying the exact same thing. Uh, but don't be cheating. You're right.
SPEAKER_04It was Sweden, but here's the thing can Canada's curling. We'll show you the video. Yeah, we show you a video. Accuses Sweden of filming violation. They got mad because they filmed it. I mean, don't cheat. That's great.
SPEAKER_03Isn't that great? It's stupid. We may have cheated, but you filmed us. And you shouldn't have filmed us. I mean, that's that sounds like Ohio State, Michigan. Absolutely. Right. Exactly.
SPEAKER_02I kind of I kind of agree with Greg, really. And any of the racing things have been great. I'm not really huge on anything where there's judging.
SPEAKER_03Subjectivity, we don't like it. Yeah. I mean, look, I can use the stopwatch to see who wasn't bobsledd.
SPEAKER_02So, like, we've been watching the the big hill super uh ski jumping tonight.
SPEAKER_03Whoever goes the furthest.
SPEAKER_02Right. And so, but now they add this element of judging into it. So, how did you land? How were you, you know? I'm saying if you land and don't die, you deserve a medal.
SPEAKER_03If you fly through the air to uh one and a half football fields, yes, you've accomplished your.
SPEAKER_04I mean, seriously. I kind of go along with that too on the on the swimming in the Summer Olympics. If you don't drown, you successfully swam.
Shift To Winter Olympics Highlights
SPEAKER_04That's true, right? That's true. Let's think about it. What other sport is avoiding dying? Swimming. Swimming.
SPEAKER_03Um I think they should put sharks in there with them. That's a bit entertaining. They go faster, I bet you.
SPEAKER_02I think the uh all the world records with the uh the sledding uh events, all of them have been really good. I haven't seen any of them. I've missed them all. Yeah, the skeleton and bobsled and you know um Yeah, I watched I watched two-person bobsled today.
SPEAKER_03That's um how does one figure out if they're good at that? I don't know, but I'd love to try it.
SPEAKER_04Here's the deal. I'm gonna lay on top of you and we're gonna go.
SPEAKER_03No, that's I'm against two-person lou. That's what you're doing.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that's what bobsled, they both get in the car. One of them like drives the other one, I don't know what the other one does. Yeah, they just bend to leans forward, leans forward and gets out of the wind.
SPEAKER_04The thing is, if you notice the thighs on those people, because they're pushing that thing as fast as they can. I'm like, personal god.
SPEAKER_02So the guy from uh Saturday Night Live that does weekend update, not Michael Che, but the other one, Colin Yoast. Yep, that's awesome. Colin Joast, Yost, whatever Joast. Um, he he did a uh a bobsled. He did the two-person bobsled with the the one of the steering guys. Yeah. And I watched the video of it today. It's the funniest thing because all he does the entire time is scream. Oh my god! And afterwards he said it was the scariest thing he's ever experienced.
SPEAKER_03The two-person bobsled today they got up to 82, 83 miles an hour at the bottom. I totally do that. I'd get in it right now.
SPEAKER_02That's cooking.
SPEAKER_03Now, I wouldn't start the running to push it, yeah, but just let me sit in it, let's just go.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Let's better lean. Hey, look, when they say lean, you better lean. Yeah. I mean, that that's got to be some serious G's when they're pulling, you know, in those curves and everything. Speaking of lean, whatever happened to O-lean? Remember O-lean? Olestra? Yes.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, whatever happened to that.
SPEAKER_02Uh I think it's uh like 60 Minutes said last night, it's an ultra-processed food. Do you remember that, Greg?
SPEAKER_03What One did it made you go to the bathroom?
SPEAKER_04No, no, what was the term they used? I don't know. Anal leakage. Yes. Okay. It was bad.

SPEAKER_02And the chips just weren't very good. Uh I can honestly say I never tried one. Yeah, just give me the give me the regular fat.
SPEAKER_03I want regular kettle, kettle corn. If I'm gonna eat chips, I'm gonna eat chips. Give me the grease.
SPEAKER_02It was really interesting 60 minutes last night. I don't know if you saw any of it, but um they've uh they did a whole show.
SPEAKER_03Look, I'm not as old as you, so I don't watch 60 minutes of research. What was it about?
SPEAKER_02Well, it was all about processed food. Oh and ultra-processed food, I should say. And that one thousand. RFK, they interviewed him, he was on there. Hey, how good does it taste? Well, RF
Curling Controversy And Judging Rants
SPEAKER_02RFK basically said, I don't think I think it's rude.
SPEAKER_04He's got a medical condition. You're making fun of it. That is rude. He's got a medical condition, you're gonna be that way.
SPEAKER_02But no, I I thought the the points that they made were really interesting. Did they bring up Olean? No kidding. No, they they it was all about all of these things that that uh yeah are making people obese and you know, all those and how they're a spoon. Basically eating. Basically, what they were talking about is if if there's more than four or five ingredients, if there's anything in an ingredient list that you can't pronounce, don't eat it. That's what they were talking about. Everything. What are you gonna eat?
SPEAKER_03I mean, that means that means you're just eating fruits and vegetables and steak and chicken and that are not grown or processed or whatever.
SPEAKER_02But for Chris, it's like even on the ones where it's like, you know, potatoes, oil, and salt are the only three ingredients, he can't pronounce potatoes because in his lingo it's potato. Right.
SPEAKER_03But the word the servants can pronounce it. So I mean, he he does have a food taster before every meal. So it's weird when we go out and eat dinner because there's this third guy, there's this third guy. I must try daddy food.
SPEAKER_04That's just in case someone's trying to poison me.
SPEAKER_02That's true. Uh, by the way, uh, shout out, thank you for entertaining our friends this weekend at the uh Larrickin uh distillery. We um uh we have I've never been there.
