67
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,880

68
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,680

69
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,320

Speaker 1: of course, Most Valuable Player, and we're still waiting on

86
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: that one. To the roads where the US Half Marathon

87
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: Championships had some major issues. On Sunday in Atlanta, around

88
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: mile twelve of the thirteen point one mile race, the

89
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: lead vehicle led the top three runners off the course

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: and into chaos. At that point in the race, there

91
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: were three women in the lead pack. Jess McLean was

92
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: in first, followed closely by Emma Grace, Hurley and ednah

93
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: kergot The lead vehicle took a wrong turn and the

94
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: runners followed, trusting that the lead vehicle was doing its

95
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: job of accurately guiding them through the course to the

96
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: finish line. Now it's unclear exactly when and how they

97
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: figured out the mistake, but on the broadcast, the lead

98
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: runner mclin was clearly told to stop and turn around.

99
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: Hurley and Kurgott did the same, and they all raced

100
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: back to the actual course as fast as they could,

101
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: but it was too late. By the time McLain crossed

102
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: the finish line. She finished ninth, Hurley ended up in twelfth,

103
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: and kergot placed thirteenth. Molly Bourne ended up crossing the

104
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: finish line first in sixty nine to forty three, despite

105
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: being a minute behind the leaders when everything went awry.

106
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: After the race, Born told the media quote, I don't

107
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: really feel like a US champion end quote. In a

108
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: statement after the race, USA Track and Field, the sport's

109
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: national governing body, said the athletes who were let off

110
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: course filed a protest, which was denied. The athletes then

111
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: submitted an appeal and the Jury of Appeals found that quote,

112
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: the course was not adequately marked at the point of misdirection.

113
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: How However, the Jury of Appeals finds no recourse within

114
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: the USATF rule book to alter the results order of finish.

115
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: The results order of finish as posted is considered final

116
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: end quote. Now, to make things worse, this were than

117
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: just any race. This was the US Championships, meaning the

118
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: top three finishers automatically qualify for the twenty twenty six

119
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: World Championships in September, according to a pre race USATF

120
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: press release. In their statement after the kerfuffle, though, USATF

121
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: says that the World's team is not officially selected until

122
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: May and they will review the events from Atlanta carefully now.

123
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: McLean also missed out on the twenty thousand dollars prize

124
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: for the first place runner. In an Instagram post Sunday night,

125
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: she wrote, in part quote, I'm going to try my

126
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: hardest to walk away from this weekend, remembering the joy

127
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: I felt in those moments where I thought I was

128
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: on my way to becoming a national champion and finally

129
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: make Team USA outright, I am choosing to remain hopeful

130
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: that we'll soon have a little more clarity than what

131
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: we left Atlanta with and actionable steps forward. End quote.

132
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: Man absolute insane. I cannot express how I rate I

133
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: would be if I were the victim of that kind

134
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: of blunder and had absolutely no recourse. We'll keep you

135
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: updated as we hear more on this story to the

140
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,840

141
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: bunched up pack and elbows thrown to avoid tripping. Hilts

142
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: managed to come out on skates, saving their signature kick

143
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: for the last lap and holding off a few rookies

144

Speaker 1: Don Staley's team, who finished twenty nine to two and

158
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: head into the SEC Tournament as the number one seed.

159
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: They've got a game on Friday against a two be

160
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: determined opponent. More from the weekend and the latest poll

Speaker 1: pm Eastern. To the NWSL for a little more soccer

176
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: Tierna Davidson is finally back on the field after tearing

177
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: her acl in late March last year. Gotham FC took

178
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: the defender and club captain off the league's season ending

179
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: injury list on Sunday, just in time for the season

180
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: to start. This will mark Davidson's third year with Gotham,

181
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: and the club will start their season on the road,

182
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: taking on expansion club Boston Legacy FC on March fourteenth

183
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Even though it won't be a home game,

184
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: someone tells me there will be major applause from the

185
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: crowd if and when Davidson steps on the field, and

186
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: some of it will be from yours truly a fan

187
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: of friend at the show Tierna since her days with

188
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: the Chicago Color Neutral Stars. And yeah, if you're following along,

189
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: that means I will be in Boston at Gillette Stadium

190
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: for that first ever Boston Legacy Game. I'm gonna throw

191
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: some leftover good game pins in my bag from the

192
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: Olympics for any slices. That's spot me in Beantown to

193
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: the Lpgaight where Australian Hannah Green won the HSBC Women's

194
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: World Championship in Singapore on Sunday, reclaiming the title she

195
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: first won in twenty twenty four. Green closed with a

196
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: sixty nine after an erratic back nine that saw three

197
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: birdies and three bogies nearly push her into second. She

198
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: pulled through, though, ultimately leaving American Austin Kim in second

199
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: place just one stroke back. Making the victory extra memorable

200
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: for Green was the fact that it was a family affair.

201
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: Her husband, Jared Felton, also a pro golfer, subbed in

202
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: as her caddy for the tournament when her usual caddie

203
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: wasn't able to make it. She's taken home a cool

204
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the win. We

205
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: got to take a quick break, bo me come back.

206
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: The shortest sturdiest wall we know, it's Aaron Frankel and

207
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: Jessa heads up that she joined us post practice just

208
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: off the rink, so you may hear some background noise

209
00:10:51,559 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: stick around joining us now. She's the star goaltender for

210
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: the gold medal winning USA Hockey team. She posted a

211
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: five and zero record in Milan, including one point three

212
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: to nine goals against average and a nine to eighty

213
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: save percentage. She's the first American goaltender to record a

214
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: shutout against Canada at the Olympics. At Northeastern, she led

215
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: her team to the twenty twenty one national title game

216
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: and that year was winner of the Patty Kasmier Award

217
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: as the top player in Women's College Hockey and the

218
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: inaugural recipient of the WHCA National Goalie of the Year

219
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: and Award. She won again in twenty twenty two. A

220
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: two time finalist for p WHL Goaltender of the Year

221
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: in net for the Boston Fleet and the shortest tuman

222
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: ever to inspire comparisons to a wall, it's the green

223
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: Monster herself.

224
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 2: Aaron Frankel hi erin Hi, thank you so much for

225
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: having me.

226
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: I love seeing you at that gold medal around your neck.

227
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: And I got to start with your size. I gotta

228
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: do it because you're five to five, but you get

229
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: so big in net and like I said, you've somehow

230
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: managed to be nicknamed a wall despite being so small.

231
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: So what's your secret to playing above your height and weight.

232
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: I think just relying on my reflexes and all the

233
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: things that make me different, unique, my skating ability, a

234
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: lot of things that I owe to my coaches for

235
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: helping me work on when I was younger. I think

236
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: size has always been a little bit of an obstacle

237
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 2: and something that you know, people have always brought up

238
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: and been hesitant with me. I wasn't like the most

239
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 2: highly recruited goalie for college, and I think just having

240
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: that mindset of proving people wrong and just kind of

241
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: doing my thing has been what's helped me.

242
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: You sure have proved them wrong. Has it sunk in

243
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: yet that you're an Olympic gold medalist?

244
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: Honestly not really.

245
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 2: Being back in Boston has been, you know, one of

246
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: the best feelings in the world. Being back with this

247
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: team and spending time with friends and family. I think

248
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: it's definitely going to take a little while to fully

249
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: soak in, but I have, you know, so.

250
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: Many memories that will last a lifetime.

251
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. I've been asking all the players from

252
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: your team that I've talked to after the game about

253
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: their emotions throughout the gold medal game, and I want

254
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 1: to take you to the second period christ and O'Neil's

255
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: shocking shorty, how did you get yourself refocused after that?

256
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: I was just trying to focus on like one shot

257
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: at a time. Obviously, you know it's a long game, sixty.

258
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: Minutes, three periods.

259
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 2: I try to not get ahead of myself, just focus

260
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: on making that next save. So just took a little

261
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: bit of a reset after that one went in and

262
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: shifted focus to making that next save. And I think

263
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: for me being the only goalie the last line of defense,

264
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: that's like kind of how I stay focused.

265
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: Do you have defenders or just any teammates that you

266
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: tend to lock in with when you need to get

267
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: yourself back psyched up and ready to go?

268
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: All of them.

269
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: We're such a close knit group and I know that

270
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: I can count on all of them, you know, for

271
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: a smile or a laugh, whatever it is in the

272
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 2: locker room, just to kind of shake off the nerves

273
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 2: and get ready to go.

274
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, your team had not been down all

275
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: games long, and they had given you tremendous support in

276
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: the form of goals, at least five a game, but

277
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: they could not find the back of the net on Thursday.

278
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: What does it feel like to be at the other

279
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: end of the ice watching them get so close over

280
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: and over again in the second and third periods.

281
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: I never gave up the hope. I knew we were

282
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: going to score. I felt pretty calm, Honestly. I knew

283
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 2: they weren't going to be able to keep us off

284
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: the board the whole game, with the scoring power that

285
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: we have on that team, and the heart and the belief,

286
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: the trust in that locker room. So I was kind

287
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: of just waiting, trying to do my job, stay patient.

288
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: I knew one would come eventually.

289
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: You know a lot of your teammates didn't see the

290
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: next goal, Megan Keller's goal, but you had a pretty

291
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: great view. What did you think as she dangled and finished?

292
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I didn't see the fuck like obviously cross

293
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: the line but I obviously saw her toe drag the

294
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: celebration that came right after the crowd erupting.

295
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: There was just so much emotion, so much to celebrate

296
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 3: there together.

297
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: It was incredible. You know, you, Megan and Hillary Knight

298
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: were the first three players signed by the PWHL's Boston Fleet.

299
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: How did it feel to win gold with those two

300
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: in particular in Italy?

301
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: I mean, playing with Meg these last two seasons has

302
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: been incredible. She's the best defenseman in the world, and

303
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: having her back.

304
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: There with me every single game is so much fun.

305
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: We have each other's back.

306
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 2: And Hillary obviously announced this is going to be her

307
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: last Olympics, and I don't believe so you never know,

308
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: but I think she's done so much for sport on

309
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: and off the ice, so the least we could do

310
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: was try to bring home a gold medal with her,

311
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: and she was obviously a huge.

312
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: Part of winning that game.

313
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: And you know, without Hillary, we don't have the PWHL

314
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: and so many other things that we've been able to accomplish.

315
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were shocked when she wasn't protected by the

316
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: Fleet and ended up becoming a part of this new

317
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: expansion team, the Seattle torn so I'm sure you were

318
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: happy to be back on the same side as her

319
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: after having to face her in some games this PWHL season.

320
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, as a goalie, you never want to be going

321
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: up against Hillary Night, So I like it a lot

322
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: better when we're wearing the same color jersey.

323
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Very smart, very smart. You know, we've talked to a

324
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: lot of soccer goalies on this show, and they've all said,

325
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: you got to be a little different, maybe a little

326
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: crazy to be a goalie in soccer. Is the same

327
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: thing for hockey, Yeah, I think so.

328
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: I mean, our position is so unique, it's, like I

329
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: tell people, it's like its own sport. So I think

330
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: you definitely have to be a little wacky to want

331
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: to be that last line into and get fucks shot

332
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: at you. But for whatever reason, we all have fallen

333
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: in love with it. I would say I'm definitely a

334
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: little quirky, but I'm not like, full on goalie weird.

335
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: What about Gwyneth Phillips, your fellow USA goalie, Is she

336
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: full on weird?

337
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: I think she's a little more goalie weird than I am,

338
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: but she still is awesome and like, yeah, she's unique.

339
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, What was it like for the both

340
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: of you contributing to this incredible shutout streak and knowing

341
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: that you were giving your team the chance to win

342
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: the likelihood of winning every single night when you weren't

343
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: allowing any goals past you.

344
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was incredible experience to be at the Olympics

345
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: with Gwen. Obviously my team in at Northeastern and being

346
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: able to make Northeastern proud and put them on a

347
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: map is something that I take great pride in and

348
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: we have so many memories from this Olympics. We weren't

349
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: even aware of the shutout streak while it was going on,

350
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: so that's just a bonus. We were more just happy

351
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: to be there, enjoying the experience and winning games with

352
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: our team.

353
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's wild how much of a bubble you're

354
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: really in, because we were all shocked that Hillary and

355
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know she'd broken the record either, and so yeah,

356
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: all those stats floating around, everyone talking about you, and

357
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: you're just insulated in this group that's trying to get

358
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: it done. So cool. You know, one thing that I'm

359
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: sure you do know got out past the Olympic bubble

360
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: was your Caesar Salad Instagram account. Pained by Romain when

361
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: kind of viral. Do you know how many followers you gained?

362
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what I had before. I can't imagine

363
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: it was more than like a thousand.

364
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: So what are you up to now?

365
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: Fifty something?

366
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: I whoa, Okay, that's a lot of people interested in

367
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: your Caesar salad ratings, so that, you know, begs the question,

368
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: what's the best Caesar salad you've ever had?

369
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: It's really a difficult question.

370
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: I try to do it like by city because I

371
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: feel like it's hard to like have one overarching. But

372
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 2: my favorite in Boston is probably from more to Dellahead.

373
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: I still have a lot to try. I've gotten like

374
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: an insane amount of recommendations, and then I actually have

375
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: had an amazing.

376
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 3: One in Toronto from Sugo.

377
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: It's an Italian restaurant and it's crazy good.

378
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: What's the weirdest attempt at a Caesar related idea you've

379
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: ever encountered?

380
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: One of my good friends sent me a Caesar hot

381
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: dog and I thought that was crazy.

382
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: The Caesar wiener I saw that one. You know, these

383
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: Olympics were your Olympic debut, and outside of the actual

384
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: time on ice, was there any part of the Olympic

385
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: experience that surprised you or you weren't expecting.

386
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 2: You know, my teammates did a pretty good job for

387
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: preparing us for like what it was going to be.

388
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 3: Like.

389
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting to go to as many, I guess

390
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: other events as I did, which was really awesome watching

391
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 2: you know, figure skating, speed skating, men's hockey, that was

392
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: honestly just incredible. Seeing it in person is so much

393
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: different than seeing it on the TV.

394
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: How about the opening and closing ceremony? What stands out

395
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: to you from those?

396
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think how patriotic.

397
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: Everyone is just so happy to be there, so proud

398
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: to be there to represent their country, whether they have

399
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 2: three athletes, five athletes, one hundred athletes, It's just such

400
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: a special thing to see people come together and take

401
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: such pride in representing their country.

402
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: Was there a favorite non hockey player that you met

403
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: or got to run into in the athlete village or

404
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: anywhere in Italy?

405
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 3: Probably the quad god. Yeah, the figure skater.

406
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's pretty awesome. Everyone's been pretty excited to see him.

407
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Have you heard from anyone cool since winning gold? Maybe

408
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: an old friend or a teacher or a celebrity.

409
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 2: I think probably the coolest would be like my kindergarten,

410
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: first grade, second grade teachers, Like I haven't been in

411
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: touch with them over the last twenty three years, but

412
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: to know that they were watching supporting me, it was nice.

413
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 3: It was very wholesome.

414
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean one of the best parts of seeing

415
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: all the celebrations and seeing family and friends that moment

416
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: when people put the gold medal around their family's next

417
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: and really talk about the role that they played in it.

418
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: Are there people that you immediately thought of after you

419
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: won and thought like, I would not be here without them?

420
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: This is how I got here.

421
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: Oh, so many, I can't even name them all, but

422
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: like coaches, family, friends, everyone along the way, especially my

423
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: parents and my brother, but also you know, my Northeastern

424
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: coach Day Flint. I can't even name everyone because there

425
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: are so many, but they were just a huge part

426
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: of getting me to where I am.

427
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I like talking about the celebration, so I

428
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: hate you been having to ask about it, but I

429
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 1: know the trump phone call to the men's team and

430
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: the laughter that they had has made the rounds on

431
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: social media and a lot of media coverage, and I

432
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 1: want to know, just like what you were thinking when

433
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: you first saw that clip.

434
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: Honestly, I heard about it from a teammate. I honestly

435
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: haven't hadn't been on Twitter like at all. Was just

436
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: like so enamored with winning and celebrating with my team

437
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 2: that I wasn't really able to like pay that much

438
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: attention to it.

439
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 3: So we're just so proud to.

440
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: Bring home gold and do it with the men's team,

441
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 2: you know, first time in history, and they were incredibly

442
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 2: supportive of us throughout the tournament, coming to our games.

443
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 3: We went to theirs and they were really nice guys.

444
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, just excited to have this medal.

445
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Have you and your teammates been talking about the

446
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: kind of backlash of that or the response to that

447
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: in the last couple of.

448
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: Days, Not a whole lot.

449
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: We've just, like I said, like it's been kind of

450
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: a whirlwinds, Like we flew back here and we've all

451
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: been practicing already with our PWHL teams, So there hasn't

452
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: even been that much time to like talk about stuff

453
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 2: outside of like celebrating our victory.

454
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the celebration will continue Vegas with Flavor Flave.

455
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: All these brands are getting involved, sounds like it'll be

456
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: in July after the SP's Are you going to go?

457
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: Have you been to Vegas? Are you a Vegas girl?

458
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been to Vegas. I actually had hockey tittment

459
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: there when I was younger.

460
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: I would love to go.

461
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: I mean, any opportunity to continue to celebrate this win,

462
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 2: I'll take it. And to be with that group that

463
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: those teammates, I would never turn that down.

464
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it'd be nice timing when the PWHL season

465
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: is over. You're really feeling a little bit more relaxed.

466
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, you're rushing right back into competition. You've

467
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: got a game this weekend and all the games are

468
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: back in action. How excited are you to come back

469
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: to it and does it feel any different to be

470
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 1: at practice now that you're an officially a gold medal winner.

471
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 3: I think just super excited to get going with this group.

472
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 2: We were in first place right now, but we know

473
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: we have a lot of work still left to do

474
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: in the second half.

475
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 3: But being on the ice today with everyone was incredible.

476
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: They're having their warm welcome back to Boston and we

477
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: want to pick up right where we left off before break.

478
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: You know, finally you're only twenty six years old. You

479
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: have so much hockey left to play, so much left

480
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: to do. But I also saw that you studied criminal

481
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: justice and psychology in college, and I'm wondering if you

482
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: want to use that for maybe a career after hockey.

483
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I haven't thought too much about it. I

484
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: used to think I wanted to go to law school.

485
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 2: My dad's a criminal defense attorney, and I think that

486
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 2: stuff's always kind of piqued my interest, But I honestly

487
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: haven't thought too much about it. I love sports. I

488
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 2: feel as though I would gravitate towards working in sports.

489
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: So whatever the next chapter is, I'm excited for it.

490
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: A lot of legal jobs in sports, A lot of

491
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: people that went to law school will become agents or

492
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: work on the team side, so you could certainly do that.

493
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: You also have your future in salad ratings, so that

494
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: you don't want to close any doors.

495
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 2: True.

496
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: True, Well, Aarin, congratulations. You gave the country a ton

497
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: of joy watching you and our show in particular. Loved

498
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: being there to see it in person, so thanks so

499
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: much for sitting down with us in congrats of course,

500
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: thank you, Thanks again to Erin for taking the time.

501
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: We have to take another break. When we return, I

502
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: promise to love you, honor you, cherish you, and carry you.

503
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: Come on back, Welcome back. I want to shout out

504
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: slice Jillian, a who was reading the Encyclopedia of Useless

505
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: Information by William Hartston and came across some hilarious details

506
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: about finish wife carrying, which we discussed during our Unrivaled

507
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Draft episode back in December. Now, if you didn't listen,

508
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: you gotta go back in hear just how uninched things

509
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: got with me and Aaron Foley and er Fight Master

510
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: selecting our teams. But for now, just know that wife

511
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: carrying was a category in our draft and per Jillian's

512
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: screen grab. A few of the rules of the competition

513
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: are worth sharing. Number one, the wife can be yours

514
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: or someone else's. She does has to be seventeen years

515
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: of age. You're older. Number two, if she weighs less

516
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: than one hundred and eight pounds, she's got to carry

517
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: a weighted rucksack that gets her up to that weight.

518
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: And number three, drop in your woman costs you a

519
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: fifteen second penalty for every drop. Most important, all the

520
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: participants must have fun. That's in the rules and the

521
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: traditional prize is the wife's weight in beer, so it

522
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: sounds like finding the perfect balance of a wife who's

523
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: light enough to carry easily but heavy enough to earn

524
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: you a full keg of beer is the secret to

525
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: this whole endeavor. Also fun fact, an American pair one

526
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: for the very first time last year, and the team

527
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: competition was won by a team named Big Beef. I'm

528

535

543
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: It's so easy watch a writer's room and live audience

544
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: that both understood the assignment, rating ten out of ten

545
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: points for execution and reaction review. This weekend Saturday Night

546
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: Live was hosted by heated rivalry star and soon to

547
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: be friend of the show Connor Story manifesting, folks, I'm manifesting.

548
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: During his monologue, he talked about needing to look like

549
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: he could play hockey for the show and set after

550
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: watching the Olympics, he doubted whether he pulled it off.

551
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: US men's players Jack and Quinn Hughes appeared, at which

552
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: point I muttered to my husband, they should have the

553
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: women there too. But after a little bit of banter,

554
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: women's team stars Hillary Knight and Megan Keller appeared and

555
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: I screamed and the crowd was clearly aware of the

556
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: recent controversy too. They gave the women an ovation that

557
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: was twice as loud and at least three times as

558
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: long as the men got, and the writing was perfect too,

559
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: especially Hillary's line to Connor Story, it was going to

560
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: be just us, but we thought we'd invite the guys too.

561
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: And Jack's response even seemed to be a nod to

562
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: gay hockey fans and fans of heated rivalry, because he

563
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: said to Hillary nice Burn before turning to Connor Story

564
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: and saying, these gold medals aren't just for us, They're

565
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: for all hockey fans. Yours too. Perfect SNL nailed it

566
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: Allyship with a wink and just enough bite, and the

567
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: crowd nailed it to Bravo. Now it's your turn rate

568
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: and review, and please actually do it, y'all, because some

569
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: folks have jumped in to downrate us and write thoughtful

570
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: things like quote, this podcast should be called nails on

571
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: a chalkboard because the host is an insufferable liberal twit

572
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: who just runs her annoying mouth and thinks she knows

573
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: everything but actually knows nothing. Hopefully someone in power pulls

574
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: the plug on this terrible show. End quote. Thank you

575
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: for your input, JD or Buffy six seventy. Thanks for listen, y'all,
