05:27Patrick Creech is from Pink Hill, North Carolina.
05:29He's a planning director, and I understand you had a very lucky prop with you when you
05:34first flirted with your now wife.
05:36What did you use, Patrick?
05:37Tell us your game.
05:37I used her Rubik's Cube.
05:39She had a Rubik's Cube?
05:40On her desk at the school that we both taught at, and I solved it for her, and I thought
05:43that that would go over really well.
05:45Apparently it did.
05:46It did, even though it made her upset because she had been working on it for quite a while.
05:49Wow.
05:50And your wife's been helping you prepare for Jeopardy now.
05:52She has.
05:52She's a trained actor, and one of the things that she's done is watched a lot of you
05:55in order to mimic your cadence.
05:58It's like debate prep.
05:59You have a Ken Jennings impersonator at home.

06:06Elizabeth Hurd from West Bloomfield, Michigan, is a pastor and also an improv comic.
06:10Yes, I do improv comedy.
06:12I'm on the resident company of a small theater in the Detroit area, and it's just a lot
06:16of fun.
06:17Is this good news for a parishioner when they come in and find out their pastor does improv?
06:20I don't know.
06:21I'm not sure how they feel about it.
06:24They've never seen me do it, and they never will.
06:27I hope you can keep the two worlds separate.
06:29Good luck.
06:30James Hirsch is back with us from Toronto.
06:32He's a lawyer, and you grew up in an unusual house.
06:36Tell us about your childhood home there.
06:37Well, it was a house that Ernest Hemingway once lived in.
06:40Wow.
06:40Yeah.
06:41He lived in Toronto for a few years, working for the local newspaper, and he was hired
06:44by a wealthy industrialist to be sort of like a mentor for his young son, and he lived
06:49in the house.
06:49It was a giant mansion.
06:51They turned it into a hospital.
06:52Then they subdivided it.
06:53Then my parents bought a piece of it, and I lived there for a while.
06:55So it's unclear whether your home ever had Hemingway in it, probably.
06:58Well, he would have been a part of it because our home included what I think was the Grand
07:03Ballroom at one point.
07:04Very cool.
