We were crazy, Yes, 19 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 3: thank you of Delta Airlines WO and we flew out 20 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 3: there for the last five six days actually and had 21 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 3: a chance to not only enjoy Milan, but watch our 22 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 3: men's in when men's team winning an Olympic gold medal. 23 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 3: And it was an honor for me to be a 24 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 3: part of what Delta did for me. But more importantly 25 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 3: that you know, I had a chance to speak to 26 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 3: both teams the night before the game, and it was exciting. 27 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 3: It was it was a great moment for our team 28 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 3: and and the whole Olympic Games. I mean, I don't 29 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 3: know if people realize that it's the most medals that 30 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 3: we've ever won in the Winter Olympic Games. And I 31 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 3: understand it's a lot more fortunate in the world when 32 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: we played back when I played, But just a great 33 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 3: tribute to our athletes. 34 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: How different was it, Mike, between would you folks accomplished 35 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: in Lake Placid? The setting of Lake Placid versus the 36 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: setting a lot, it had to be quite a different. 37 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 3: Setting, you know, I get that question all the time. 38 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 3: Remember nineteen eighty there were three TV stations, NBC, ABC, CBS. 39 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: There was no Twitter, Facebook, there was no interstram, there 40 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: was no media stuff. We played in a little cocoon 41 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 3: place in Lake Placid. If anybody has ever been there, 42 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 3: it's hard to believe they had any Olympic Games there. 43 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: There was no media attention like there is today. So 44 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: you know, there was night and day. But the other 45 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 3: thing that's still the same. If the athletes competing against 46 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: each other, you know, whether it's speed skating. Bob said, loose. 47 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: You know track and field. You know, I'm not tracking field. 48 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 3: That's summer games. But it's still athletes competing against each other. 49 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 3: And yeah, the sport the Olympic Games have grown. It's 50 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: a whole different Olympics than it was in nineteen eighty. 51 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 3: You know, professionals playing hockey, which is great. I'd love 52 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 3: to see it. The women's program didn't exist in nineteen 53 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 3: eighty in ice hockey. And you see the other sports 54 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: that are now in the Games that weren't ever there 55 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty. So I don't want to sound old old, 56 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 3: but maybe that was the last pure Olympic Games. No, 57 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: well what they used to be. 58 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, well in terms of look, a lot of your 59 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: teammates and yourself eventually played professional hockey and and you know, 60 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: you guys were the best in the land in nineteen eighty, 61 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: and this team was the best in the land in 62 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. By any chance, were you in the 63 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: locker room when a lot of the postgame celebrations were ongoing. 64 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: Well, well, I think some people saw me at a 65 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: celebration after the game and I was on Dylan locked 66 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: and shoulders and they were bouncing me around like I 67 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 3: was a beach ball. You know, you go to a 68 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: beach and everybody bouncing the beach ball around. And thank 69 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 3: off for Brady the truck because he was standing behind 70 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 3: me making sure I didn't get thrown back. Yeah, and 71 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 3: it was funny because you know that what I was there. 72 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 3: I was there with Delta Airlines. I had a great 73 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: trip with Delta and everybody there, and they gave us 74 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: these nice Olympic white the USA jackets, and I had 75 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: the jacket on that night of the game and as 76 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: Dylan Lockins thrown me up in the air, I have 77 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 3: my glass of wine and it went all over my 78 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 3: jirts and my jacket and I don't you know, no, No, 79 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: it's a great story.

But I said to my wife, can you 82 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 3: can you maybe get the stain out? And yesterday I 83 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: saw the jacket and the stain was out. I got Yeah, 84 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 3: so I got another charity auction.

And I said this 93 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: the other day. You know, only eight and nine ten 94 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 3: year old kids were sitting there watching, hoping to maybe 95 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: play hockey. And how many young girls, how many young 96 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 3: ladies around the country, not just you know, in Boston, 97 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 3: but around the country that were hoping And you know, 98 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 3: maybe I want to Maybe I want to play hockey. 99 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: I wish the game was less expensive. Maybe we can 100 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 3: try the way to figure that out. 101 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: Well. I had the honor of coaching one Olympian as 102 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: a little league baseball coach, Sarah Parsons, who was on 103 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: the women's USA team in two thousand and six in Toronto. 104 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: She was the top scorer on the team. And she 105 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: was my ten year old kids in little league because 106 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: you went onto Nobles and then played up at Dartmouth. Again, 107 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: she was not they didn't have pro women's hockey at 108 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: that point, but a great little girl. And to follow 109 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: her career and of course to follow as a bu 110 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: law school guy, to follow your career, and you know 111 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: Jack Callahan's career and IB and I both went to 112 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 2: Latin school. I was a few years ahead of them. 113 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: That's what the Olympics are all about. I was just 114 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: a little disappointed by some of the sports writers and 115 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: the commentators who tried to draw a wedge. I mean, 116 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 2: I was so thrilled to watch those players on Sunday morning, 117 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: parade around the ice draped with the American flag. Reminds 118 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 2: me of you guys in Jim Craig in nineteen eighty 119 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: and you know, singing the national anthem and really meaning it. 120 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: Hockey players are the best, best people, in my opinion, 121 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: of all the major professional sports. But I just get 122 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: troubled that people kept, you know, you know, picking away 123 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: at them. And why did you do this? Why'd you 124 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: say that Trump made a comment that probably most of 125 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: them didn't hear. And the whole room, you know, was 126 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 2: giggling and noisy. And you when I think when you 127 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: were there in nineteen eighty, you guys got to the 128 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 2: White House, if I'm not mistaken, when President Carter invited you. 129 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: Correct, well, we welcome to to today's media. Welcome to 130 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,119 Speaker 3: the today's world. And we went to the White House 131 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: President Carter. I'll look, I can dream remember like it 132 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 3: was yesterday. We want to go medal. Walter Mondale was 133 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: in the game in the locker room. He was a 134 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: vice president. Jimmy Carter called the locker room and I 135 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: spoke to him and the phone and you saw that, 136 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 3: And maybe you didn't see that. That Netflix documentary just 137 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: came out, The Just Spectacular. I'm speaking to President Carter 138 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: on the phone and he invites our team to the 139 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: White House and I said good luck to you, and 140 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 3: he said good luck to me, and I'm like, oh, 141 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: it's a president. Definitely, good luck to you. And we 142 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: went to the White House and it was unbelievable. Nobody 143 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: said anything about us. There was no media coverage of negative. 144 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 3: I shouldn't say it this way. It was positive. He says, Oh, 145 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 3: these guys went to the White House and politicizing the country. 146 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 3: We did not go. When you again, I've said this, 147 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: and maybe people are tired of listening to me about 148 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 3: this because I've been saying it for the last few weeks. 149 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: Because of the Olympic Games, I'm going to be in 150 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 3: a professional app I'm going to be a police officer, 151 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: a firefighter. To somebody who represents our country in the 152 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: military and serves our country, there's no greater feeling than 153 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: putting on a USA jersey. You're not playing for Boston, 154 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 3: you're not playing for Chicago. You don't playing for Stanley 155 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 3: Cup or a World Series or Super Bowl. You're playing 156 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: for your country with an opportunity to win an Olympic 157 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 3: gold medal or an Olympic medal at all. And guess what. 158 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 3: We also have athletes that go to the Olympic Games 159 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 3: that they're not going to win, but maybe they're gonna 160 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 3: have their best time, their best skate, their best moment, 161 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: and they trained four years for that moment. People don't 162 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 3: see that. And then when they criticize or take these 163 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 3: statements about, you know, all of a sudden mispiticides it 164 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,359 Speaker 3: just again, it drives me nuts. I get very frustrated 165 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 3: when I hear those comments. In those moments met you know, 166 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: they talked about you represent your country and you should 167 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 3: be proud of it.

Mike, Look, you're you're 171 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 2: representing everybody in America, you know, young people, old people, 172 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 2: Red Sox fans, Yankee fans, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, whatever, and 173 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 2: it bothers me. I saw a lot of the uh, 174 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 2: the so called scribes or whatever or the media people 175 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: uh asking questions which were they were asking questions of 176 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 2: tennis players down at the Australian Open. I think of 177 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: what do you think about this? And what do you 178 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 2: think about that? As ask the athlete about the contest, 179 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: about the game, you know what, what was your mind 180 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: going through? You know when you're in the locker room 181 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: after three periods and the scores one to one and 182 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: you knew that one shot was gonna was going to 183 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 2: be the the gold and the silver medal. I don't 184 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 2: know where those questions are. I don't really care what 185 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 2: people think about what athletes think. 186 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 3: You know what. They all have their own agenda. They 187 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: all have their own agenda. I'm going to make this 188 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 3: story different than the fact that we want an Olympic 189 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 3: gold medal and women's hockey we want you know what, 190 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 3: nobody talked about the fact that this is the most 191 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 3: gold medals we've ever won in the Winter Olympic Games. 192 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: And I do understand it's the more sports now than 193 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 3: they used to be. But how about congratulating them, how 194 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: about you know, telling them a good job well done 195 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 3: because you're representing a country. We had gold medals and 196 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 3: women's hockey. We had gold medals in men's hockey. That 197 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 3: has never happened. Well, the men's, the men's, the men 198 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 3: the men's, the men's, the men's team hadn't lunch since 199 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty, the one's team. But they've won two or 200 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 3: three gold medals, And how often is it for them 201 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 3: to do what they did there? How many young eight 202 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: nine year old girls woke up the other day saying, God, 203 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 3: I want to be a hockey player. How many young men, 204 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 3: boys and girls in this country? 205 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: The other thing, Mike, that bothered me, And you know 206 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 2: me well enough, I think to know. I'll tell you 207 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 2: what I believe. I was thrilled watching those guys with 208 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: the American flag, with the flag with Johnny Grudeau's jersey, 209 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 2: with Johnny's kids. Oh, I mean, how can you so 210 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: that's those those were moments and uh and they wanted 211 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: to take that away almost and downplay that. And you know, 212 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 2: if some player wants to make a political statement taking 213 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 2: me turned their back, they become sort of lionized to hear. 214 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 3: You were never going to see that from a hockey player. 215 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: Guarantee you if you start from the hockey player, somebody 216 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 3: would hit him over the head with a stick. How cool? 217 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 3: How great was it to see I didn't mean to 218 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 3: interrupt what we were talking about. How great was it to 219 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: see that team bring Johnny Gooodau's family, his kids on 220 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 3: the ice out there and pulled his jersey up. That's 221 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 3: that's big volumes of the type of character of that 222 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 3: team had now Johnny Goudreaux would have been on that team. 223 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 3: He was a great player, and he died, you know, 224 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 3: tragically in an incident. And and the fact that this 225 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 3: team still and I was at the Four Nations when 226 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 3: they played the Four Nations, I was the honorary captain 227 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 3: for the United States, and I wore the Johnny Gooodeau 228 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: jersey on the ice. That was my decision to do 229 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 3: that because I knew what Johnny meant to these kids, 230 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 3: these kids, I said, kids, these players. He was part 231 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 3: of that family. And that was you last year. And 232 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 3: then they still remembered Johnny Gaudreau and his wife and 233 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: his family and his kids. Doesn't that tell you about 234 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 3: the type of character that these players are. The White 235 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 3: House and President Trump and all this stuff. I don't 236 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 3: get it. You know, people are always looking for something 237 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 3: to bitch incompany. Why don't you embrace it? Why don't 238 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 3: you enjoy it? Why don't you take that moment and say, 239 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 3: this is what we can do. You tell your kids 240 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 3: about it, tell your grandkids about it. Look what this 241 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 3: team did. Don't talk about Oh, well, this and this 242 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 3: and this. That's what pisses me off. And again, I'm 243 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 3: an old school guy. 244 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 6: You know, my dad was a marine. 245 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 3: I don't know if I said this earlier to you 246 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: or not. Maybe I did because I've been talking about 247 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 3: it for so long. Other than being a police officer 248 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 3: or a firefighter, or somebody who represents our country in 249 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 3: the military, who serves our country and protects our country, 250 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 3: there's no greater feeling than being the USA athlete. There's 251 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 3: no greater feeling that protect Jersey on. You're not playing 252 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 3: for the Celtics, you're not playing for the Super Bowls 253 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 3: and Stanley Cups. You're playing for your country. And just 254 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 3: kill did that and they honored that, and they did 255 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 3: it in the right way. And yet we get these 256 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 3: people that have to criticize it. I don't care it. 257 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 3: I don't I don't get the world we're living into. 258 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 2: I think I think some of them want want to 259 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: become part of the story, like and that's that's that's 260 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,479 Speaker 2: my take on it. I just want to have everybody 261 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: focus on what those young men accomplished, and what the 262 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: young women accomplished, and and their patriotism, their love of country, 263 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: the love of the fact that they were representing all 264 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: of us uh in this great you know, quadrennial tournament 265 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: every four year.

We had applet to train for 271 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 3: four years for that one moment, that one race. Let's 272 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 3: not forget about them who are there representing our country. 273 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 3: You know, we all get excited about the gold, bronze 274 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 3: and silver, but they still represented us in in a 275 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: great way, and a. 276 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: Lot of them trained more than four years.

You 338 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 4: never hear a bad word from them in regards to politics, whatever. 339 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 4: They are always a class act. And when the game 340 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 4: is over, yeah, there's still a little animosity between Boston 341 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 4: and Philly. I mean, but number one, it's a great game. 342 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 4: And now that I have this magical mystery box, I 343 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 4: can get my flyers again too.

And if that movie is 349 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 4: not in one of your sports movie collections, it could 350 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 4: be just to show you how a team can come together. Yeah, 351 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 4: it had to be an Italian guy to do it. 352 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: And that's my love Bostonian though. Remember that.

Paul next on Nightside, Go right ahead, sir, Hi. 419 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 6: Dad, thank you for taking my call. Yeah, I'm very 420 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 6: proud of the United States men and women team for 421 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 6: bringing back the gold medal against Canada, which is probably 422 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 6: probably has the best hockey hockey players of the whole world. 423 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 6: I'm very proud that, you know, the man and the 424 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 6: women brought home gold bells. 425 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they they both did a great job. And 426 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: despite some of the some of the media stories this 427 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: week which tend to its tended to deflect the attention 428 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 2: from the achievements. The women's hockey team, I'm sure will 429 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 2: visit the White House. Uh. If they don't, that would 430 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 2: be a mistake. I believe that the President has invited them. Uh, 431 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 2: and I think that they had the timing didn't quite 432 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: work as well for them as they did for the 433 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 2: men's team. But I kind of imagine that women's team 434 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 2: won't be there. Uh, they should be. They should get 435 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: the same sort of attention. And I just I just 436 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 2: think that the stories over blew over, blew everything and 437 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 2: and detracted from the players themselves. And I know that 438 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 2: there was that that that comment that the President made 439 00:24:54,520 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 2: during the phone call, which has generated criticism. Uh. Let 440 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 2: me let me just so that people, uh don't think 441 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 2: I'm trying to avoid them. Uh. Let me let me 442 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 2: see if I have it here. This is cut number 443 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: thirty one, Rob. If you play that quickly, please probably yeah. 444 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 2: And and and two of the players of the team 445 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 2: were Boston Bruins, Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swaying, a goaltender, 446 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 2: and they they said, hey, look, you know they regretted 447 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,719 Speaker 2: being that in that situation, but it should not in 448 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 2: my opinion, detract because the women will be honored. The 449 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 2: women should be honored. This is McAvoy and Boston Bruins 450 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 2: goalie Jeremy Swayman Cut thirty two. 451 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 3: Rob. 452 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 5: Certainly sorry for how we responded to it in that moment. 453 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 5: You know, things that just happened really quick there, and 454 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 5: if you know the men's team, and if you know 455 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 5: the relationships that we have, the amount of time that 456 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,719 Speaker 5: we've spent, you know, with the women's team and how 457 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 5: we've supported them, that's certainly not reflective of how we feel. 458 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: We should have reacted differently. 459 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 3: We know that we are so excited for the women's team. 460 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: We have so much respect for the women's team and 461 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: to share. 462 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 5: That gold medal with them is something that we're forever 463 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 5: grateful for. 464 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 2: Then I want to play one more thing for you, Paul, 465 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:31,719 Speaker 2: And this is the President introducing the team at the 466 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 2: State of the Union address and they got a tremendous response. 467 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 2: Sadly some of the politicians didn't stand up. This is 468 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: a cut thirty place. Rob. 469 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 7: Here with us tonight is a group of winners who 470 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,959 Speaker 7: just made the entire nation crowd. The men's gold medal 471 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 7: Olympic hockey team. 472 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 6: Come on and. 473 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 2: Then the president and you know continues. I mean, he's 474 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 2: he's jabbing the Democrats here at the State of the Union. 475 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 2: Some of the Democrats stood up, to their credit, but 476 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 2: why would not all of them stand up? This is 477 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 2: cut thirty A. And we'll get Paul's reaction to a 478 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 2: cut thirty eight. 479 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 8: That's the first time I've ever seen them get up. 480 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 8: And actually not all of them did get up, but 481 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 8: they beat a fantastic Canadian team and overtime as everybody so, 482 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 8: as did the American women who will soon be coming 483 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 8: to the White House. 484 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 2: All right, Paul, your reaction to that, I think again 485 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,479 Speaker 2: the President was using it to to basically give a 486 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 2: little shot to his loyal opposition. 487 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 6: Well, you know, they're they're a sport. They are put aside. 488 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 6: I remember when you mentioned that earlier, that you know, 489 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 6: when the US men beat the Soviet yui and that 490 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 6: was like probably the greatest subset of all time. And 491 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 6: I have heard people say, I remember that Reagan was 492 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 6: the president and everything I said, know what he was, 493 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 6: I said, Jimmy Carter was the president. 494 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 2: With that, yeah, no, and and and as Mike Rusinoni 495 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 2: just said, you know, Walter Mondale was in was in 496 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 2: the rink in Lake Placid when that game was played. 497 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter invited them to the White House. They went 498 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 2: to the White House met with President Carter, which is 499 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 2: really solid about uh. And of course remember then the 500 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 2: the Summer Games, Uh, the Russians. The Russians were were 501 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 2: not allowed, you know, because they had invaded Afghanistan.

However, I'm not 536 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 10: gonna lie. The Canadians were so sad, and it made 537 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 10: me sad because they were so sad and they wanted silver. 538 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 10: But I was so happy that the Americans won.

Okay, I'm not breaking my leg. I'm not 547 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 10: trying to lose my leg. I'm just giving myself a 548 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 10: gold medal. I love the gold medal idea, Yes, I 549 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 10: love how happy they were. Don is worth losing teeth 550 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 10: for a gold medal? I want to ask. 551 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 2: You that, well, Hughes certainly was happy to lose the teeth. 552 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 2: I will suggest that he goes to see doctor Sal, 553 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 2: one of my advertisers, one of my sponsors, you know, 554 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 2: I mean doctor doctor Sal is waiting for him. I 555 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 2: I I'm not sure did he lose the teeth during 556 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 2: the game. I know at one point he took a 557 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 2: shot to the mouth, but I wasn't sure if those 558 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 2: teeth had uh. No. 559 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 10: I think he went to gather the chief and takes 560 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 10: them home to where he comes from, just saying he grew. 561 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 2: Up in Florida. It's not you know, not many kids 562 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 2: grow up in Florida and end up hockey players. He 563 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 2: grew up in Florida and then played juniors up in 564 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 2: Michigan and he's kind of like a Michigan guy now. 565 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 2: But yeah, both he and his brother played very well. Hey, look, 566 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure that he would easily give up 567 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 2: those teeth that for that game winning goal. I mean, 568 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 2: that's something that will be with him for the rest 569 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 2: of his life. 570 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 10: And I think it's a perfect segment to put out there. 571 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 10: Is it worth losing your teeth or getting a medal? 572 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 10: Because if you ask any girl, I know, the medal 573 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 10: is not worth losing your teeth. 574 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 2: Well, ask the girl hockey players that those would be 575 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: the people who we would find out, because hockey players 576 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 2: want that gold medal, whether they're male or female, and 577 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 2: the women won the gold medal. Matter of fact, the 578 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 2: women's teams have won the gold medal more frequently than 579 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 2: the than the men's teams over history in the US. 580 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 10: So we'll say, maybe when you and I me, we 581 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 10: could talk about the accolades versus the personal feeling of like, 582 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 10: because I don't know, I think losing a teeth would 583 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 10: really suck out loud. 584 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 2: No, I hear you. I'm not interested in that either. 585 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 2: But when I played hockey, I was a goalie, so 586 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 2: I always had a mask so I didn't have to 587 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: worry about that. Okay, Okay, good John, Thanks Patty. 588 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 10: It was great that they won and USA USA all 589 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 10: the way. 590 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 2: I love it.

And I think, 619 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 9: you know, I hate to say it, but now I 620 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 9: have a friend who just broke an ankle and had 621 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 9: to have a bunch of screws and stuff put in, 622 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 9: and as you get older, that stuff is painful. Unfortunately, 623 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 9: she's gonna be, I think, in a lot of pain 624 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 9: for the rest of her years, which is too bad. 625 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 2: Just an amazing athlete too, had forty one come back 626 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 2: and you know, if she had completed that run, she 627 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 2: was in competition for the metal and that sport, that 628 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 2: downhill skiing. That that one little mistake and her arm, 629 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 2: you know, just got caught by one of those and 630 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 2: it was over. I mean it's yeah, that is not. No, 631 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 2: you will never catch you. And I we could. We 632 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 2: could sit in the lodge and drink cocoa and sit 633 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 2: by the fire. That's about as close as I want 634 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:15,919 Speaker 2: to get to a downhill skate. 635 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 9: Yes, indeed, so listen, I just wanted to say, first 636 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 9: of all, so in this Olympics, overall, the women won 637 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 9: more medals, the majority of the medals, we won the most. 638 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 9: You know, the US won the most medals ever and 639 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 9: we the women, won the most of that. And you know, 640 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 9: I feel like I don't think we should be blaming 641 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 9: the media or other people that the person who tainted 642 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 9: if you can say it was tainted this wind was 643 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 9: the guy in the White House, and I think the 644 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 9: blame needs to lie with him because it was a 645 00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 9: really unforced error. Like why, I don't don't even understand 646 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 9: how that's a joke, Like I'm going to insult the 647 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 9: women's team ha ha ha, Like I mean, I just 648 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 9: don't see. And so he put them in a horrible position, 649 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 9: and you know, I kind of get why they just 650 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 9: like went them along with that and laughed and a 651 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 9: good on McAvoy and the other guys. Like if they're 652 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 9: apologizing now. 653 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I played both both on Charlie mcilvoy and 654 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 2: the goaltender Swaymen. No again, I think that it's much 655 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 2: ado about nothing at this point. It just so happens 656 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 2: that that President Trump has a granddaughter who is on 657 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 2: an athletic scholarship to play golf and very likely will 658 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 2: become a professional golfer. So you know, I'm somebody who 659 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 2: spent many, many days. When I say many days, I 660 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 2: mean many days in rings, both for my son and 661 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 2: for my daughter, and and help coach teams that my 662 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 2: son and daughter played on.
