1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The rex was

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 2: not chasing the jeep. Murray, Murray, you there. You love sandwiches. Huh,

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: let's go to eighty.

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: He was bo wow that Prime Time. Maybe I had

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: a crush on Betty Rubbel.

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black.

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: He caught them the game last night, although they won

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: the game. You're listening just to Godsend Company.

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: Super grateful for this man's time during a very busy time.

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: Kenny Albert is with us. I don't know what he's doing.

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: I don't know why he's awake.

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: I'm not certain he knows what time zone he is in,

15
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: what country he's in, Kenny, do you know?

16
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: Do you know where you are right now?

17
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: I'm actually in Atlanta, which was totally unplanned until about

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: thirty six hours ago. Yes, I was supposed to fly

19
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: home early this morning Monday, as we speak from Alan

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: to JFK. And then I had a scheduled flight Tuesday

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: to Los Angeles for a Wednesday hockey game, but due

22
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 3: to the snowstorm in the Northeast. Things were rescheduled, and

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 3: NBC actually put a lot of us on a flight

24
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: to Atlanta to get back to the country with no

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 3: snow in the area. So I'm in a hotel room

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: in Atlanta, flying to Los Angeles tomorrow.

27
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: Kenny, I have known you since you were a kid. Okay,

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: you are my brother's friend. We spent time together. If

29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: I told you way back when that you would call

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: the next Men's Hockey Olympic gold medal game, you would

31
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: have told me what.

32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: I probably wouldn't have believed. You and your brother Eric

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: and I were good friends. I'm not sure if we

34
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: chatted that day. Maybe we did the day of the

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: metal game. But yes, no, the whole thing is just

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: surreal the way it all played out. And I've got

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: the good fortune to work seven Winter Olympics, and Doc

38
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: Emrick called the gold medal game games in two thousand

39
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: and ten when the United States and Canada played, in

40
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen, when Canada one Salt Lake was Gary Thorn

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: in two thousand and two. But I was there doing

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: some of the other games. So to have this opportunity

43
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: and I've done the gold medal game now three straight Olympics,

44
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: but the NHL players weren't there the last two, so

45
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: definitely a different feeling.

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: And if you had told me that, I would not

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: have believed you.

48
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: Was it the biggest game you've ever called?

49
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: You know, as far as audience and ratings, and I

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 3: haven't seen the ratings yet. It won't be out until tomorrow.

51
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: The last NFL playoff game I've worked had I think

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 3: forty million viewers. That was back in twenty twelve San Francisco,

53
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: New Orleans. Great game with Alex Smith and Drew Brees,

54
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: back and forth, four touchdown. I'm sure if this will

55
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: get to that number. As far as the magnitude of it,

56
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 3: and I've done Stanley Cup finals, I did a Super Bowl,

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: which was the international feed, the world feed, so a

58
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 3: little different than it were the United States broadcasts, So

59
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: I think as far as the magnitude, definitely definitely the

60
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: biggest for sure.

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: Is it possible to describe for us in the audience

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: the difference, like what you're feeling, the difference between calling

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: that game and let's.

64
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: Say game thirty two of the Rangers regular season.

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny.

66
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: Somebody asked me on Saturday when we did the bronze

67
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: medal game. You know what am I feeling leading up

68
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: to the game and yesterday, it's amazing that it was

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: still yesterday after flying for ten hours. That was my

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: twenty fourth game in Milan in eighteen days. Wow, between

71
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: the men's and the women's. So it was like groundhog day.

72
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: You just got into the routine every day, get up

73
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: at the same time, have breakfast in the hotel. A

74
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: couple of days Jason Kelsey and his wife Kylie were

75
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: right at the next table, so that was of course

76
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: fun chatting with them, and Scott Hamilton and Johnny Weir.

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 4: We were all staying in the same hotel.

78
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: So you wind up Mary Carillo Andrea I should wound

79
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: up talking to everybody that's part of the NBC family.

80
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: So you know, those are some of the big memories

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: from these Olympics as well. It's just a breakfast. It

82
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: felt like we were at summer camp or in a

83
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: college dorm. But I said on Saturday, you know, right now,

84
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: I'm feeling like it's just another game that we're doing.

85
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: As far as the preparation, sure, and the schedule and

86
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: the timings. Obviously it was a lot bigger because it

87
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 3: was the gold medal game.

88
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 4: But I wasn't really nervous or anything like that. You know.

89
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: People asked me if I was nervous, Not really, because

90
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: we had done twenty three games, not all of them

91
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: were in this arena, about fifty this arena.

92
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: So but you've been doing this your whole life, Kenny, Yes, right, yeah.

93
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 4: Too, And we had just done some huge games.

94
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: Wednesday was the win over Sweden, the Quinn Hughes overtime goal.

95
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 3: Thursday was the women's gold medal game, which was huge.

96
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: So in a five days stretch we had the three

97
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: overtime games plus a number of other games. But yeah, no,

98
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 3: it was it was something. It was amazing arena. There

99
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: were I don't think people in North America watching on

100
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: television probably realize this. Somebody asked me, you know, was

101
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: it only Italians Europeans are at the game? No, I

102
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 3: think it was about seventy five percent North Americans in

103
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: the crowd. Wow, many people were over there, planned vacations,

104
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: planned trips. It was definitely more of a North American

105
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: crowd than than Italian or European for sure.

106
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 5: Jenny Stu Gotts mentioned the Rangers Mike Sullivan's also the

107
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 5: head coach of the Rangers, New York dead last right

108
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 5: now in the Eastern Conference. If you were Mike Sullivan,

109
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 5: would you consider retiring before the break is up and

110
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: just kind of go out on top of the gold medal.

111
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's there for the long haul. They're in a

112
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: bit of a re tool right now, you know, as

113
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: everybody knows. But uh, you know, he's a great head

114
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: coach to Stanley Cups now an Olympic gold medal, and

115
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: two of his players with the Rangers had a very

116
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: important role in this team.

117
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 4: Vincent Trochak and JT. Miller.

118
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: They were on the fourth line, but they were the

119
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: first penalty killers over the boards. They took important faceoffs,

120
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: so they were a big part of it.

121
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 5: Mike Sulvin had a quote postgame when he was talking

122
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 5: about the makeup of this USA team. There are whiskey

123
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 5: drinkers and milk drinkers, and we've got a lot of

124
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 5: whiskey drinkers on this team. How did you kind of

125
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 5: see that playout from Milan against especially against the Canadian

126
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 5: team that had the talent advantage on paper, right.

127
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 3: I think what he was referring to, you know, part

128
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: of it was the fact that before the tournament there

129
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: was some criticism from media fans about certain players not

130
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 3: making the roster, guys who were having brilliant seasons in

131
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: the NHL, like Jason Robertson, Alex to brink It, Cole Cawfield.

132
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: But with Bill Garren the general manager and the coaching staff,

133
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: Mike Sullivan decided they did not just want all star

134
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: offensive players. They wanted guys who could penalty kill, who

135
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 3: could win face offs, and it wounds up paying off.

136
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: You know, when you look at Canada, obviously they were

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: without Sidney Crosby in.

138
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 4: The last two games.

139
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: Josh Morrissey, a key defenseman, got hurt in the first game.

140
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: They sounded like they had a bit of an illness

141
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: running through the.

142
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 4: Through the locker room.

143
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: But you know, they still had Nathan McKinnon, Macklin, celebrity,

144
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: Connor McDavid, cal mccarr, so many terrific players, and the

145
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: game could have gone either way. You know, obviously, when

146
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: it goes to overtime, just like in the Four Nations

147
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: last year, Canada wins an overtime. The US has some

148
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: great chances. Austin Matthews gets stopped by Jordan Bennington. McDavid

149
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: scores the overtime goal yesterday, McDavid came down on a

150
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: rush and Jack Hughes of forward was back defending, and

151
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: you know, if McDavid scores there, then you know we're

152
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: talking about a whole different animal as far as who's

153
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: celebrating today.

154
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 4: So it was just it was great for the sport.

155
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 4: It was a.

156
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: Tremendous game and the United States, you know, getting that

157
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: goal in overtime and the celebrations, it was just, you know,

158
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: so much fun to be a part of. And even

159
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: if Canada won, it would have been a lot of

160
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: fun to be a part of as well from a

161
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 3: broadcast PERSPECTI because these two teams they have been waiting

162
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: a long time. The NHL had not been to the

163
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: Olympics in twelve years, since Sochi in twenty fourteen.

164
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: So you know, this was huge for the sport of hockey.

165
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Kenny, that's hockey.

166
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: Though sometimes the better team, certainly Canada was second and

167
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: third period, especially you run into a hot goaltender, and

168
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: the United States goaltender was as good as good as

169
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: you could.

170
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: Connor Hellibuck, what was the story Without him? They don't

171
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: win that game. So many tremendous saves. Stop McDavid on

172
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: a breakaway, stop Celebrini on a breakaway, the saving made

173
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: with the paddle of a stick, a couple of others

174
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 3: like that, he won the game for the US.

175
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, Kenny, you can't script something like that.

176
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 6: And it's amazing to think how the images in our

177
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 6: head are going to be of that goal at the end,

178
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 6: but the voice in our head is going to be

179
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 6: you forever, And.

180
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 4: What are you thinking in that moment?

181
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 6: As you know, whatever happens here is going to be

182
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 6: this epic moment for these two teams and these two nations.

183
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny, I'm kind of thinking looking back

184
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: on it as the three games, the three overtime goals,

185
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: not just the one Quinn hughes in the quarterfinal, the

186
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: United States and Canada were one goal away, each of

187
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: them from being eliminated in the quarterfinal, not even playing

188
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: for a medal because advantage add ties the game for

189
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 3: Sweden with a minute and a half left. Canada is

190
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 3: losing with four minutes left in their game against the

191
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 3: Czech Republics. So the fact that the game went to overtime,

192
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: we had the exciting Quinn Hughes goal in that game

193
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: against Sweden, and then the women's game the Americans tie

194
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: it laid and the brilliant goal by Megan Keller. So

195
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: you know, it's funny the overtimes three on three in

196
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: the Olympics, as you saw, so from a broadcaster standpoint

197
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: in hockey, when you're calling a hockey game, not every

198
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: goal is clean. So for broadcasters there are tricky situations.

199
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 3: There are deflections. Did the puckle you know during five

200
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: on five during normal play? Did the puck goin off

201
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: this guy's stick or did it going off the defenders skate,

202
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: So there are times when you're not sure who scored

203
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: the goal and it could affect your call. When it

204
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: goes to three on three in overtime, you're less likely

205
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: to have a situation like that because it's just more

206
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 3: of an offensive game. They're not setting up with his

207
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: own really as much as they do during five on five.

208
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: So I was actually happy with the fact that it

209
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: was three on three and we had clean goals in

210
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: the overtimes.

211
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: Right from a broadcasting standpoint, yes.

212
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 3: Broadcast standpoint, So yes, you know, there are little things

213
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: that the average viewer wouldn't even think about as far

214
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: as what I just described. But you know the Hughes

215
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 3: play yesterday, Warenski makes a great play to get around

216
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: in the car, which a lot of us were actually

217
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: pretty surprised about, and then all of a sudden it's

218
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: a three on one and Jack Hughes is all alone

219
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: and he puts it in.

220
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were laughing that Quinn Hughes had the most

221
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: famous goal in his family for forty eight hours.

222
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: Right, that's right? Goal?

223
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 3: Yes from a fan because mom Ellen uh, she's on

224
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 3: the staff of the women's team. Yes, the player herself.

225
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 3: So yes, what a week it was for the Hughes family.

226
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: Amazing from a fans standpoint? Do you like the three

227
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: on three?

228
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: I like it in the NHL on the regular season.

229
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 3: It's exciting, The fans love it. The fans are on

230
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: their feet. I don't necessarily love it in an Olympic

231
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 3: game to decide who gets a medal, Right.

232
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: You might still be there, though, Kenny.

233
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: I mean four and four might be a little more realistic.

234
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 3: And for the Crosby golden goal in twenty ten, it

235
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: was four and four.

236
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 4: They've changed since then.

237
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: I think part of it is they don't want the

238
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 3: games going on forever for television and because there were.

239
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: Multiple games in a day at the Olympics.

240
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 3: But and Eddie Olchak, you know, made a similar point

241
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: during the game yesterday. I think in an Olympics you

242
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: probably would rather have the game decided either five on

243
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: five or four and four.

244
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: But it is exciting, right, Taylor Mikey were handing out

245
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: medals today for Brugg Casters and they gave you Tarrico

246
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: and Eddie.

247
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: All three of you got gold medals, So congratulations.

248
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 4: Yes, three gold medals are allowed in one event.

249
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: Yes, you and Eddie.

250
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 2: I mean that was emotional for you guys, right, especially Eddie,

251
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,239
Speaker 2: really emotional, right.

252
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 4: He had tears in his eyes. I looked over my right.

253
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: Then Eddie up in the booth with me and Brian

254
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 3: Bouchet downstairs, and Catherine tapping Mito Rico. They all did

255
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 3: such a tremendous job, as they always do.

256
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 4: You know.

257
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: Eddie played on the eighty four team and that was

258
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 3: the first after eighty and they disappointed. They finished in

259
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 3: seventh in Sarajevo. He had a great Olympics. He was

260
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: seventeen years old. He had eight points. He was tied

261
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 3: for the team lead with Kyle la Fontaine, but the

262
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: team finished seventh. And he's also represented the US and

263
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: the Canada Cup back in the eighties eighty forty seven,

264
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: ninety one, so you know, he's been through the trenches.

265
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: He's been in the middle of the battles and lost

266
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: a lot of games to Canada, you know, in those

267
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: Canada Cups with Prettzki lam Mew, you know, some of

268
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 3: the greatest players in the game on those teams. But

269
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 3: he really, you know, it pulls out his heartstrings. He's

270
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 3: a member of the US Hockey Hall of Fame. He

271
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: was one of the greatest American players of his generation.

272
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 3: So it was an emotional moment for him when that

273
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: puck went in and the United States won that gold medal.

274
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 5: On the topic of emotion, we saw the Johnny Gudreau

275
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 5: jersey in the locker room. We obviously saw his importance

276
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 5: to the team when the players go out and get

277
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 5: his kids for the team photo. What did you see

278
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 5: first hand in the Olympic village with just how much

279
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 5: Johnny Gudreau meant to this team.

280
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was amazing. You know, I think we all

281
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 4: had tears when we saw that.

282
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: When a couple of the players went to get the kids,

283
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 3: and Johnny Gudau's parents and his wife were in the stands.

284
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: And I know, you know, watching from Afar last year

285
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 3: when the US won the goal at the World Championships,

286
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 3: they had the Gadrou jersey, just like they did yesterday.

287
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 3: But when you look at some of the stars that line. Yesterday,

288
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: it was Johnny Gudrou's son second birthday. Yesterday, February twenty second,

289
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: it was the forty sixth anniversary of the Merica on

290
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 3: ice game against the Soviet Union. And then you had

291
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: brock Nelson on the team, whose uncle Dave Christian was

292
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 3: on the eighty team and he was in the building,

293
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: and his grandfather and great uncle were on the nineteen

294
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: sixty team, the only other time the United States won.

295
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 3: So you have one family. The US has won three

296
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: gold medals in hockey sixty, eighty and now twenty six.

297
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: And you had three generations of that family, the Christians

298
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: and now brock Nelson, which is.

299
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: Incredible, really is and you called one of them. That's

300
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: incredible to me, Kenny, as someone has known you for

301
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: a long time.

302
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: Seriously, it's it's pretty amazing how much access did you

303
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: have to the team. I'm wondering because could you take

304
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: the audience kind of inside, what caught the attitude of

305
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: this team, what made this team kind of so special

306
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: and unique.

307
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 4: We had some access. It's not like the NHL where

308
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 4: you can go into the.

309
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: Locker room after sharples, but there was a practice rank

310
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: about the yards from the arena, so it was really close.

311
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: We just walk across a little grassy area to get

312
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: to the practice rink. It's actually a tunnel you could

313
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: take inside. Also, so I was able to go to

314
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 3: two or three practices. I couldn't go to more because

315
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: I had the women's games on off days, but I

316
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: did go to two or three and you could wait

317
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: in this area called the mix zone.

318
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: You're kind of in a little little cubby.

319
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: Basically three people are waiting, you know, from each network,

320
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: and there's some reporters, newspaper reporters during this little area,

321
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: and the players they'll bring them over. They walk by,

322
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: so you're sort of on the other side of a

323
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: little barrier basically a barricade, but you're right there.

324
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: So I think it was the day before the Sweden game.

325
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 3: I got to chat with Quinn Hughes and Noah Hanafinn, JT. Miller,

326
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: a couple of other players. So I talked to five

327
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: or six players that day. The day before the gold

328
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: medal game, I talked to Quinn, Hughes and brock Nelson,

329
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: but Eddie bush Kat and I had Mike Sullivan before

330
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: every game. We talked to the coach for ten minutes

331
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: and we talked to John Cooper before the Canada game,

332
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: so we had private meetings which were great. So we

333
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: got the pulse of the head coach. So Sullivan felt

334
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: they got better each and every game. Before the game yesterday,

335
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: you know, he was in agreement with us that we

336
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: got a little better each game.

337
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 4: He talked about his deployment of.

338
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: Certain players and what his message was the team before

339
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: the game. So we did get a good read from him,

340
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: and we used a lot of that information on the air,

341
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 3: and it was great to chat with some of the players.

342
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: Brock Nelson told me about bringing his grandfather's gold medal

343
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 3: to show and tell right school when he was a youngster,

344
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: so I used that story on the air. Just chatting

345
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: with and I've known the Hugheses for a long time.

346
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 3: I worked with their mom, Ellen about twenty years ago

347
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 3: on a broadcast. Wow, he did some broadcasting. I put

348
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: the picture out on Twitter today of Ellen Hughes and

349
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: I two thousand and four we called the Women's Frozen

350
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: four Amazing bat and twin two and four. At the time,

351
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 3: they weren't. So I've known the Houghtons family. I met

352
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 3: the boys when they were fifteen sixteen years old, so

353
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 3: I know them pretty well. It's a great family. And

354
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: dad Jim is from Long Island. He's from Hicksville and

355
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 3: played hockey all over Long Island. He's about the same

356
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 3: age as we are. And I didn't know him back then,

357
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 3: but he played at Providence College. He was an assistant

358
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: coach in the NHL. So it's a wonderful family, as

359
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: are the Kachuks. I know Keith Kachuck a little bit,

360
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: the dad, and it's funny story. So at the two

361
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: thousand and eight Baseball All Star Game, I was there

362
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: with my wife at Yankee Stadium and I had gotten

363
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: the seats.

364
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 4: From Fox from Fox Sports, and I walk in.

365
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 3: Keith Kachuk and his wife were sitting next to me.

366
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 3: He was still an active player in the league and

367
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 3: they had won the tickets at a Joe Buck charity event.

368
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 4: So the ticket also from Fox.

369
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: So we were sitting next to Keith and Chantel Kachuk and

370
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: the game went fifteen innings. It was the All Star

371
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 3: Game at Yankee Stadium that went fifteen inning and around

372
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 3: the eleventh inning they got up to leave. They said,

373
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: we have our two boys are with us and they're

374
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 3: in the hotel room. We have to go and leave

375
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: the babysitter. It's getting late. That was Matthew and Brady

376
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: could chuck wow.

377
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 4: At the time, they were probably ten and eight years old.

378
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were in the hotel room and the parents left

379
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: the All Star game early.

380
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: That's so Kenny.

381
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 2: People don't realize because I've become very friendly with Tonya

382
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 2: Monte because our daughters played together at Northwestern Lacrosse and

383
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: they're like best friends.

384
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: Rachel and Dylan Amonte and Tony.

385
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 2: Like these small families that make up like the hockey community,

386
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 2: and just how far spread out they are through across generations.

387
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: It's insane and it's cool to see, you know.

388
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is. It's a small world. Really is

389
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 4: a small world.

390
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

391
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: In fact, we were in Tahoe when we wanted on

392
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 2: Matthew could chuck gone. And the way we got him

393
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: on was Tonia Monte sent me a text and said

394
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 2: go on his fucking show, and I showed it to him,

395
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: and then he said he came on the show because

396
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: he can't say no to Tony Kenny.

397
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 5: When you're not calling a game. What's your idea you'll

398
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 5: set up for watching a big game.

399
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good question.

400
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: Well, at the Olympics, I didn't have an opportunity to

401
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 3: watch too many other games because I was working to

402
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: a day. The Super Bowl I watched in Milan at

403
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 3: one in the morning, so I set up. There was

404
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: a big conference room set up in the hotel for

405
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: about twenty five people. They had some snacks and a

406
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: big screen, so we watched the first half in there,

407
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: and then I went back to my room and I

408
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 3: watched on Peacock on my app on my phone and

409
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: went to sleep at four am that night.

410
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: So that was the last big game that I watched.

411
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 2: I didn't tell you guys this, I'm already cut you off.

412
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 2: He was willing to do an interview with me. It

413
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: was two am.

414
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: He was in his.

415
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 2: Hotel room and he was texting me like, hey, I'm

416
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: good to go I'm like, what do you want them?

417
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: Most nights, I was up till two because we didn't

418
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 3: get back to the hotel till twelve thirty or twelve

419
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: forty five from these nine ten games. Right, So, whereas

420
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 3: you know at home, if I work a home game

421
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: and I might go to sleep at midnight and wake

422
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 3: up at eight or eight. In Milan, it was going

423
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: to sleep at two and waking up at nine or

424
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 3: nine thirty.

425
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: It's a good thing.

426
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: You're going to La tomorrow. I mean in a couple hours.

427
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: Nine hour time difference from milanteler.

428
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: Did you get a chance to celebrate afterwards at all?

429
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 4: We had a group dinner.

430
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 3: I didn't have dinner for two weeks because we had

431
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: a night game every day. Crazy So, I mean dinner

432
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: was the day of the semifinal games, the men's on Friday.

433
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: My dinner, if you want to picture this the glamorous

434
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: life at the Olympics, right, dinner was eating some pasta

435
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 3: out of a takeout tray with the wooden spoon standing

436
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: up for five minutes. Because the Canada game ended at

437
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: seven to ten, the next game was at nine ten,

438
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: and we had a seven forty five meeting with Mike Sullivan.

439
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 3: So dinner on the day of the semifinal was seven

440
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: five for five minutes, standing up against a wall in

441
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 3: a media room, eating pasta out of a tray with

442
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 3: a wooden fork. A lot were at a real dinner

443
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 3: Sunday night. Yes, that taste, that was good. Eddie eight people.

444
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: Eddie was great, very generous, nice. And then we went

445
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 3: back to the hotel and there were a bunch of

446
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: people in the lobby, a bunch of our colleagues, NBC folks.

447
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 3: So we were there until about two in the morning,

448
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 3: just reminiscing and you know, I guess a bit of

449
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: a celebration. And then I had to go pack, so

450
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: went to sleep at four, woke up at six. Geez,

451
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 3: it was midnight on the East Coast today. So yeah,

452
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 3: twenty one hours ago.

453
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: This is in part why you got a gold medal, Kenny.

454
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 4: And I appreciate the gold medal. Guys.

455
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 2: We'll get you out of here on this note, because

456
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: I want you to get some sleep. I want bronze,

457
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: silver and gold medal experiences you had at the Olympics

458
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: that did not involve you calling a game, Kenny.

459
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I did get you the kels I don't know

460
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: if that's in there for you.

461
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, breakfast right next to the Kelsey's I did. My

462
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: wife came over for ten days, so we did get

463
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: to do a little bit of sightseeing. Uh, went went

464
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: to the I guess I'd have to say the bronze

465
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 3: would be going up to the top of the Duomo.

466
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: You take an elevator up, walk around the terraces, and

467
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 3: then walk down and then it's unbelievable beautiful on the inside.

468
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: So that would be the bronze. The silver would probably

469
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: be And I know I'm probably missing something here, but

470
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 3: it's all right if it has to totally do with

471
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: a non you know, calling.

472
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 2: A game, like you ran into someone you you know,

473
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: you found yourself in a weird covers.

474
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: Spending a lot of time with Peter Alexander was pretty

475
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: cool from the Today Show and the White House Correspondent.

476
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 3: I never had met the man, you know, until three

477
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 3: weeks ago, and we wound up seeing each other every

478
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 3: day at breakfast. He came and did a feature on

479
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 3: us at the Hockey Arena. He invited me over to

480
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 3: the Today Show one day to check him out at

481
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: the set.

482
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 4: But the gold is definitely the selfie with Snoop Dogg

483
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 4: my partner A J.

484
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 3: Molesco on the Women's Games three. They did a Snoop

485
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 3: cast together AJ, So the Snoop Dogg selfie is probably

486
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: up there, but really, the like I said, the summer

487
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 3: camp atmosphere at the hotel, you know, breakfast next to

488
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 3: the Kelsey's Scott Hamilton Johnny, we are running to him

489
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 3: in the elevator.

490
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: Randomness of it, Yeah, that's what I was.

491
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, one day, the AC Milan soccer team bus was

492
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: outside the hotel because they were staying there one night.

493
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 4: So it was a pretty cool experience for sure.

494
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 2: Awesome, man, I appreciate the time. I'm certain you got

495
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: many of these.

496
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: I hope you did. At least.

497
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: My dad, my brother, and myself got together at my

498
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: dad's house and we watched someone that we've known since

499
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 2: for a long time. It's me and my brother were

500
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: kids call one of the biggest games in sports history,

501
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 2: and it was a very cool moment and you delivered.

502
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: My man, it was awesome. It was great.

503
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 3: No, it's still hard to believe. It's somewhat surreal that

504
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: this happened, but I appreciate it. It was a great

505
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: It was a great three weeks overall, loved every second

506
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 3: of it. Flew over there on February second, my birthday,

507
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 3: by the way, flew on the evening of my birthday,

508
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 3: and came home today and it.

509
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 4: Was just an unbelievable experience.

510
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 3: Actually, if I can add to the whole gold Silver bronze,

511
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 3: more text than I've ever gotten, you know, during and

512
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 3: after a game, right, So thankful to friends, colleagues, even

513
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 3: a lot of people that I don't really know that well.

514
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: Just some of the out of the blue text that

515
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: I got after the game were just incredible.

516
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: I was going to text you in game to consider

517
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 2: for the closes, for the final goal call, to say.

518
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: Do you believe in minor upsets?

519
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 4: No, there was no.

520
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: Way that I A few people asked me if I

521
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 3: was going to do anything, you know, similar to the

522
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 3: great Al Michaels, and you know that can't be duplicated.

523
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: No, No, the moment can't be duplicated, correct.

Speaker 4: The moment can't be duplicated. You know you can't.

525
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,919

00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: Yes, that's amazing. Twenty nine minutes in the ocean, thirty minutes.
