1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we're listening

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: to nothing but party in the USA for the whole

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: damn weekend. Team USA are hockey champions of the world.

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: It's Friday, February twentieth, and we're coming to from a

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: particularly echoey, undisclosed location in the bowels of Santa Julia

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: Arena because we wanted to bring you on location right

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: after the USA Canada gold medal hockey game to tell

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: you all about the build up, the nerves, the goals,

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: the celebrities, the celebration and the reactions from all your

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: favorite players. Plus Melissa lou Is fucking golden guidance from

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: a goat and all good things must come to an end. Also,

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: today we're celebrating our four hundred first show. Now, I

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: know it's much more common to celebrate round numbers like

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, four hundred, but we definitely intended on

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: skipping that milestone in favor of four oh one, because,

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: like a four oh one, k our show is a

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: tax free wealth of knowledge. Also, I just checked into

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: room four oh one here in Milan, and obviously in

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: four oh one, ad Visigothic King Alaric attacked northern Italy,

20
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: which is a very important historical moment to this area

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: and to the show. So yeah, totally planned. One other

22
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: note on this episode, by the way, beyond the echoee

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: room we're in now, Alex and I were in several

24
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: other places around the arena, so we'll be doing a

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: little time hopping between pre gold and post gold. And

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: if you hear any funny audio changes, that's just our

27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: time machine chugging through the space time continuum, hockey and

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: so much more coming up right after this choo slices

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: if you've somehow avoided spoiler alerts. The big news today

30
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: is that Team USA Hockey completed its perfect run here

31
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: at the Games, winning gold over Canada Thursday night, but

32
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: it didn't come easy. After scoring at least five game

33
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: in every contest here in Italy, the US were stymied

34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: by a Canada team that kept them from playing their game.

35
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: Canada's Kristin O'Neil scored early in the second period, and

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: Canada held that one oh lead until just two minutes

37
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: and three seconds left in the third and final period,

38
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: when who else but Captain Hillary Knights scored to tie

39
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: things up one to one and send it to overtime.

40
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: In the extra period, which is sudden death three on three,

41
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: Taylor Heisei teed up Megan Keller on the left side

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: of the net, where she slid the puck around and

43
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: passed a defender and then buried the backhand shot past

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: Canada goalie and Renee Debien. The US wins two to one.

45
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: Cue the freaking freebird, y'all ugh So much more on

46
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: the game and reactions from Team USA players later in

47
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: the show. For now, here's what else you need to

48
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: note today. Back to hockey again, more on the gold

49
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: in the moment, But Alex and I were also in

50
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: attendance for the bronze medal game, in which Switzerland defeated

51
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: Sweden two to one and over two time on a

52
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: nifty goal from the Boston Fleets Alena Mueller, who also

53
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: scored the bronze game winning goal for the Swiss at

54
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: the twenty fourteen Olympics. She was just fifteen, then the

55
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: youngest ice hockey player ever to win an Olympic medal.

56
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: Fun fact from this game, Botofigo, if you will, friend

57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: of the show, Alessia Beckler, the Northeastern hockey player who

58
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: you remember. We interviewed ahead of the Beanpot tournament. She

59
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: led Team Switzerland in time on ice during regulation play

60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: and another fat Tofigo. The Swedish goal song is called

61
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: Cannaloni Macaroni by Swedish singer songwriter lass of Holme, choosing

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: it was a play on Italian food, wrote Mark Lazarus,

63
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: hockey writer for The Athletic, of hearing the tune quote

64
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: the first time I heard this, I turned to my

65
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: colleague Arpone Wassou and said, this is the stupidest song

66
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: I've ever heard. Five days later, I think it might

67
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: be better and more significant than Beethoven Smith for Release

68
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: and Living on a Prayer combined end. Quote to figure skating,

69
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: where a Team USA is Alyssa lu took the pressure

70
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: of metal favorite status and stride and won gold, becoming

71
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: the first American women's figure skater to win an individual

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: Olympic gold medal since two thousand and two. She skated

73
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: onto the center of the ice in a glittering gold dress,

74
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: absolutely embodying the phrase. She made it look easy in

75
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: typical yet still incredibly impressive Lou style. She floated through

76
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: her routine with grace and spunk, earning one hundred and

77
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: fifty point twenty for the free skate, the highest score

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: of the night. As she left the ice, she put

79
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: her face right into the camera lens and yelled, that's

80
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about classic. Her overall score was two

81
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: twenty six point seventy nine. Leu's biggest threat came from

82
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: two Japanese skaters, the legendary Cowi Zakamoto and the newcomer

83
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: Ami Nikai. Sakamoto skated powerfully but missed a few key elements,

84
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: even crying as she left the ice, but she still

85
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: scored highly one forty seven sixty seven for the free

86
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: skate and two twenty four ninety overall. The final skater

87
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: was seventeen year old Nikai, who entered the free skate

88
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: in first place. She scored relatively low, though earning one

89
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: forty point forty five points for the free skate. At

90
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: the end of it all, Sakamoto won the silver medal

91
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: and Nikai won bronze. As for the other team, USA skaters,

92
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: Amber Glenn went into the free skate in thirteenth after

93
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: a disappointing short program, but in the free skate she

94
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: got her redemption on Olympic ice, opening with a stunning

95
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: triple axle and ultimately earning one forty seven point fifty

96
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: two points, her best score this season. She finished fifth

97
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: place overall. Finally, Team Usay's Isabelle Levito had a hard

98
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: fall on an early jump in her skate, ultimately earning

99
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: twelfth place. As has been the norm throughout the entire

100
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: figure skating season and these games, the three Blade Angels

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: as they're called, Lou, Glenn and Livito were seen clapping, hugging,

102
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: and supporting each other off the ice. We love to

103
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: see it. Oh, if I'm being honest, I haven't actually

104
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: seen it yet because you know, given that hockey was

105
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: at the exact same time, I haven't watched it. But anyway,

106
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to seeing it. And once again,

107
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: Olympic organizers, what gives scheduling the Golden Medal hockey game

108
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: and women's free skate at the same time. Come on

109
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: to the mountains, where Switzerland's Mayor Fatone made history as

110
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: the first Olympic champion in ski mountaineering. Fatone crossed the

111
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: finish line in the women's sprint race in two fifty

112
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: nine seventy seven with France's Emily Aup a few seconds

113
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: behind in three h two fifteen. The bronze medal went

114
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: to Spain's Anna Alonzo Rodriguez, who crossed the line in

115
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: three ten twenty two. The lone American woman in the race,

116
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: Anna Gibson, was what they called the lucky loser in

117
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: the first heats. No joke, they call it that because

118
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: she advanced to the semi based on her time, not

119
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: her place. She had fun with the results on Insta

120
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: for what it's worth saying gleefully in a story luckiest

121
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: loser of all time right here. But in the semis

122
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: Gibson missed her chance at the finals by just a

123
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: few seconds. This is the gal who just picked up

124
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: the sport last August, though, so making it to the

125
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: semi finals at the Olympics is damn impressive. Schemo, as

126
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: it's called, is the first new sport at the Winter

127
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: Olympics since nineteen ninety eight. If you miss Thursday morning

128
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: sprint races, we don't blame you. They started before four

129
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: am Eastern, but be sure to catch the mixed relays

130
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,119
Speaker 1: on Saturday at a more civil time of seven thirty

131
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: am Eastern to Ariels where China's Shu Moun Tao successfully

132
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: defended her Olympic title in the women's event on Wednesday,

133
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: winning her second career gold medal and fourth of any color.

134
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: Aussi Dannielle Scott claimed silver, and China's Chow She picked

135
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: up bronze. Meantime, Team USA's Kayla Kun and Winter Veneiki

136
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: really went for it in the final round but fell

137
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: short of the podium. Kun was Team USA's best bet

138
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: for a podium finish after winning the world title last year,

139
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: but she landed awkwardly on a triple, leaning heavily on

140
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: the back of her skis as her hand dragged through

141
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: the snow, and she ended up in fifth. That's still

142
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: three spots better than her results from the Beijing Games,

143
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: where she placed eighth. Teammate Veneki set out for a

144
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: clean back lay full fold, but she couldn't stick the

145
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: landing and fell on her back for a sixth place finish.

146
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: That's also an improvement from Beijing, though, where she plays fifteenth.

147
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: Let's do an Olympic weekend preview where the final days

148
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: of the Games are packed with action. We'll start with curling,

149
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: where it seems like there's always a game on On Thursday.

150
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: Team USA beat Switzerland in a thrilling match that required

151
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: an extra end round to decide the winner. Friends of

152
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: the Show team Peterson advanced to the semi finals after

153
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: farly beating Switzerland seventy six. The US and Switzerland aren't

154
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: done with each other yet, though, you remember, the top

155
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: four qualifiers in the ron robin standings advance, so they

156
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: actually face off again today in the semi finals. Those

157
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: semi finals start today at eight am Eastern. The bronze

158
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: medal match is Saturday at eight am Eastern, and the

159
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: gold medal game is Sunday at five am Eastern. To

160
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: speed skating, the fifteen hundred meter is today, beginning at

161
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: ten thirty am Eastern. The event will feature American speed

162
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: skater Brittany Bo, who will be competing in what's expected

163
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: to be her last Olympic career race. Gotta bet that

164
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: Bo's new fiance, Hillary Knight, and Quick aside from later

165
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: Sarah and Sucking gold medalist will be in the stands.

166
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: And if you like watching people skate fifteen hundred meter

167
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: races on ovals, you're in luck because the short track

168
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred meter event is also today. The Netherlands Xandra

169
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: Belgebor will aim for a clean sweep of the individual

170
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: events at these Games after winning both the five hundred

171
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: and one thousand meter events. Other top contenders include the

172
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: defending gold medalists, Italy's Ariana Fontana. Already at these Milan

173
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: Courtina Games, Fontana has become Italy's most decorated Olympian of

174
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: all time, winter or summer, winning silver in the five

175
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: hundred meter and women's relay and gold in the mixed

176
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: gender relay. She made her Olympic debut as a fifteen

177
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: year old in two thousand and six, the last time

178
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: Italy hosted the Games. If she wins another medal today,

179
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: it would be her fifteenth, and she would tie retired

180
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: Norwegian cross country skier mart Bjorgan for most career medals

181
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: at the Winter Olympics to Bob Sled. Bob Sled's two

182
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: woman event gets underway today with runs one and two

183
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: beginning at twelve pm Eastern, and medals will be awarded

184
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: following runs three and four on Saturday. Fresh off her

185
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: first career gold medal and sixth overall friend at the show,

186
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: Alata Meyers Taylor has a great chance of winning one more,

187
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: competing this time with push athlete Jaden O'Brien. Fellow US

188
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: pilots Kaylee Humphreys and Kasha Love should also be in

189
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: the mix, along with monobob silver medalist Laura Nolti of Germany.

190
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: To cross country Sunday will feature the debut of the

191
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: women's cross country fifty kilometer event. At previous Olympics, women

192
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: of ski thirty kilometers while the men have complete the

193
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: fifty k distance. I really hope the Czechoslovakian wolfdog Nasgul,

194
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: who crashed the women's team sprint qualification, makes another appearance

195
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 1: at a safe distance from the athletes this time. The

196
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: race starts Sunday at four am Eastern. Also on Sunday

197
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: the closing ceremony of these Milan Courtina Olympics. Hmmm, why

198
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: must all good things come to an end? To the

199
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: track and other parts of Europe. For some quick not

200
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: Olympic news, British track star Kiey Hodgkinson smashed the women's

201
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: eight hundred meter indoor world record by almost a full

202
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: second on Thursday, crossing the finish line in one fifty

203
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: four to eighty seven at the World Indoor Tour Gold

204
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: meeting in northern France. The record had stood for over

205
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: twenty years. In fact, Slovenia's Yolanda Cheplack ran the previous

206
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: record on the same day Hodgkinson was born in two

207
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: thousand and two. All right, slices, we got to take

208
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: a break when we come back. Let's do that hockey.

209
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: Oh slices, Welcome back, Alex. Hi, Hello, are you feeling golden?

210
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: I am feeling very golden. I'm feeling like I suffered

211
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: a cardiac arrest and I'm grateful to have recovered.

212
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: Ye have to say, Sarah, my wrist is a little

213
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: bit sore because Sarah took the no cheering in the

214
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 2: press box very seriously.

215
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, just assaulted Alaning. I cannot tell you.

216
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: It was like you were grasping my hand while something

217
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: horrible slash wonderful was happening.

218
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: That sounds about right. Yeah, yeah. I chose to assault

219
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: Alex and pour all of the emotions. I wanted to

220
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: scream directly into her wrist and forearm area, and then said,

221
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh

222
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 1: my god, about eleven y times. So my apologies, no

223
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: apologies needed. It was incredible. Let's talk about it. So

224
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: we got here to the arena. We actually got here

225
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: for the bronze match, and so we had been here

226
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: for a while and one of the things we noticed

227
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: that it's definitely suitable for play.

228
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: Yes, I was fully still expecting a hole on the

229
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 2: outside of the building, and it was cold, but I

230
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 2: think that was because it was an ice rink and

231
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: not because Winn was getting in.

232
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there were some holes nearby, and there's a

233
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: bunch of things that looked like they probably went into

234
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: building this arena, still sitting right outside in a giant

235
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: puddle of water, and who knows what else is anywhere

236
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: around This arena doesn't look like anything. It looks like

237
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: an area in flux, if you will, but inside suitable

238
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: for play, in a perfectly fine arena to host these

239
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: metal matches. It even sat on the outside of the

240
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: building bronze medal game and then later gold medal games,

241
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: so that was pretty cool. We ran into some friends

242
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: before the game, Jocks and Jill's Tessa Bonham and Juliet Tocherry.

243
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: You should definitely listen to their podcast. They've been doing

244
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: some fun episodes from here. A J. Molesco, who's on

245
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: the call for these games for NBC, also soccer legend

246
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: had their O'Reilly. We ran into Britney Bow who got

247
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: a car service so that she could make it over

248
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: here and watch Hillary and still get back in time

249
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: to rest for her final race tomorrow. While there were

250
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: some other celebrities here that we didn't see, Kylie Kelsey

251
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: and Jason Tom Brady, Seth the Myers, Italian skiing star

252
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: Frederica Brinoni, and Noah Khan, who I love. Didn't see

253
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: any of them, but we heard they were here. Speaking

254
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: of the number of celebrities here and the interest in viewing,

255
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: I just want to quickly say that there were some

256
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: posts about this not being a high demand event in

257
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: advance of the game that people were mad about because

258
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: the men's gold medal game is a high demand event.

259
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: The long and short of it is that's based on

260
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: media requests. That's not a value proposition put on by

261
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: the IOC. The IOC isn't saying that this has less

262
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: value than the men's. They're simply saying that they won't

263
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: need to restrict and limit credentials for people because there's

264
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: enough press space for those who had requested to attend.

265
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: It's a big arena with a lot of media space.

266
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: There was a lot of media here covering it, apparently

267
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: not as much as has requested to cover the men's game,

268
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: So I guess we can be mad at the media

269
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: Alex for not wanting to cover it as much. But

270
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: there was figure setting at the exact same time. There

271
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: was plenty of other events going on, So for those

272
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: who are mad, there's plenty of things to be mad about.

273
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't really think that's one of them. This is

274
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: one of them either.

275
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: I love complaining about gender disparity at the Olympics, and

276
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: I'm not that mad.

277
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: Also, in advance of the game, we noticed that Deeter Rule,

278
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: who's the organist for the LA Dodgers and LA Kings,

279
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: is here and was just really killing it on the organ.

280
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,599
Speaker 1: It made it feel very much like an old, you know,

281
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: hockey game in a barn in America. Speaking of the Dodgers,

282
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: Billy Team King and a lot of class friends of

283
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: the show were here in the Elf sweet so just

284
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: more royalty that was on and for this and the

285
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: vibes pregame were excellent. They were so good.

286
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: So Sarah and I basically did two laps on the

287
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: concourse just seeing who was there and more Canadian fans

288
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: than American fans, but USA fans brought it. It was

289
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: just incredible to see people dressed up a lot of

290
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: USA jerseys, Canada jerseys, but also p WHL jerseys. That

291
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: was really fun to see a lot of sparkles, glitter.

292
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: People were really decked out, like it was like, I'm

293
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: not going to come to the gold medal game unless

294
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: I I also have an incredible outfit to wear.

295
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean my favorite of all were the two

296
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: guys wearing sparkly tiny Bounty uniforms and the one had

297
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: a little tiny burken bag. Those were the best. I

298
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: also noted, and I think this is happening more and

299
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: more in women's sports, and I love to see it.

300
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: It used to be if you saw a couple people

301
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: wearing someone's jersey, you probably assumed they were that woman's family.

302
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: And now you can see night jerseys and Debian jerseys

303
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: and Poland jerseys and everything else all over and they're

304
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: just fans because that's how Because that's the step that

305
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: these women's sports have taken in the last couple years,

306
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: which is really freakin' awesome.

307
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: And also the jerseys are now available to more than

308
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: just the family members, which again love to see it.

309
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, let's move on to the game. Man, it

310
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: did not always I expected. I don't know what I expected,

311
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: but I thought, if anything, Canada would somehow keep up

312
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: with the US and their offensive onslaught. I did not

313
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: expect the US to be stifled in the way that

314
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: they were, But Canada came in with a tremendous game plan.

315
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: The first period, they were more in control, They had

316
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: longer possessions, felt more steady with the puck when they

317
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: had it. Wor was the US didn't seem to get

318
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: in a rhythm and they slowed down the American team,

319
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: which has been extremely difficult for pretty much every other

320
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: team in this tournament, including the Canada that lost five

321
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: nothing in the group stage. But man, what a strategy

322
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: they came in with and how effective were they in

323
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: implementing it.

324
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

325
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: One of the first things that I thought of as

326
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: soon as this game got started was, Wow, it's really

327
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: great to win five zero five zero five zero over

328
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: and over again throughout this tournament until you get to

329
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: the gold medal game maybe and are facing a bigger

330
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: challenge than you've seen before. You know, we'll get to

331
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: sound from players after the game, because they kind of

332
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: all wrote that off of like, of course we were confident,

333
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: but it was an interesting moment. I think there was

334
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: some nervous energy that we maybe haven't seen in those

335
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: earlier games, just players being on the big stage, and

336
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: it was interesting to me the first period. Both of

337
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: us looked at each other at the end of it

338
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: and we're like, that went by so fast, Yeah, so fast,

339
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: breakneck speed, yes, And it went by fast.

340
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: And you know, the only person who really knowledge of

341
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: the fact that they have not been challenged since November

342
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: December Rivalry series and every game of the games was

343
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: the coach Robo, who, even though he didn't really answer

344
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: the question I asked him, did say that it is

345
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: like something that will need an even longer and more

346
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: thoughtful answer is how much they did not have the

347
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: feeling of being behind, did not have the feeling of

348
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: adversity at any point over the course of the last

349
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: months and months, and so it made me nervous Alex

350
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: after that first period, but it was still scoreless. Even

351
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: though they looked back on their heels. Things didn't seem

352
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: that dire until early in the second period, when christ

353
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: and O'Neill's goal snapped the United States shutout streak at

354
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty two minutes and seventeen seconds, which

355
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: is insane, by the way. But once that shutout streak

356
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: was broken and the US was down one nothing, that's

357
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: where you were like, what do they have in them?

358
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: What do they have in them to answer to that?

359
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: This is a big, bad Canada team that has won

360
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: way more times than the US as on this stage,

361
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: and are they going to now crumble and say, shoot,

362
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: we were the favorites. We've blown it, and now we

363
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: don't know how to come back. What style do we play?

364
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 1: Do we force it? Do we rush? Like all these

365
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: other things? And I did like and was heartened by

366
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: the fact that they were on the tack for most

367
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: of the period. They were really pressuring Canada, they were

368
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: really peppering debian and to me it sort of felt

369
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: like something's got to give, Like there's two ways of

370
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: looking at Oh man, they're snake bitten, it's not meant

371
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: to be or their due. One of these has to

372
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: go in And I was clinging to the ladder.

373
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: It's funny that you say that, because at least for

374
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 2: the first half of the second period, I kept thinking, wait,

375
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: is the US still on the penalty kill and.

376
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: Really be like, oh, nope, they're not.

377
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And by the end of the second I felt

378
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: like they had definitely started throwing more shots on goal,

379
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: but they they didn't always feel like intentional shots, and

380
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 2: so at the end of the second period, though, I

381
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: was like, that period went by so slow, so slow.

382
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was interesting midway through the aforementioned organists

383
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: who just happens to be from America and certainly wouldn't

384
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: be choosing his songs based on any llegionate, but he

385
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: did play shake it Off, and after that there was

386
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: a USA chant that started, and it felt like there

387
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: were a couple different moments where he played just the

388
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: right song for the crowd to clew in and be like, Okay, yeah,

389
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: let's rally this team. Let's get behind him and start

390
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: the chance again, which I kind of loved. Okay, third

391
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: period honestly, as it dragged on and the US wasn't

392
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: scoring and time was running out, I thought to myself,

393
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: what a bad game to be sober. I was watching

394
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: the people that they showed during the breaks in their

395
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: fricking eagle hats or their USA stuff, and they seemed

396
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: like they were still having fun despite the score, and

397
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: they seemed like maybe they were a little tipsy, like

398
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: they had what I would imagine would have to be

399
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: a number of those very tiny coronas to get a

400
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: buzz at all. And I was like, damn it, I

401
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: wish I was dancing on a jumbo tron and just

402
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: not feel in any pain instead of dead ass sober

403
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: up here with my sphincter as tight as a fucking

404
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: baby who just sucked on a lemon. It was tough.

405
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: I did not have one nothing in the third on

406
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: my Bengo card for this US team.

407
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: I have to say, though, I did something very optimistic

408
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: between the second and third period, which is I double

409
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: checked what the format is for overtime of the gold

410
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 2: medal game. Look at you, I know, And as I

411
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: was doing it, I was like, You're gonna look back

412
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: on this, Alex and be like, you are so hopeful

413
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: and you didn't even need it. And I'm happy I did, though,

414
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: because it's different than the bronze medal game, which also

415
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 2: went into overtime, and that it's not just a ten

416
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 2: minute overtime period.

417
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: So I'm glad I looked.

418
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: I'm glad I didn't jinx them.

419
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: Also, yeah, you put that energy out in the universe,

420
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: which I appreciate. There was about twelve and a half

421
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: minutes left and the US kept pressing, and I felt

422
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: like the competing USA and Canada chants that happened in

423
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: that moment were because there was a feeling in the

424
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: air of oh man, they are on the doorstep, this

425
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: is about to happen. And so the Canadian fans were like, no, no, no, no, no,

426
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: we got to get behind our team, and the USA

427
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: fans were like, we feel it, we feel it, and

428
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 1: then it didn't happen. There were so many opportunities, there

429
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: were so many shots in the crease that there wasn't

430
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: that person on the other end to receive it and

431
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: send it in or it was a whiff on a

432
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: wide open look. There were just these moments that were missed,

433
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: and I have to admit there was maybe like eleven

434
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: and a half minutes left and I could feel this

435
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: thing in my gut moving up my body toward my

436
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: throat and I felt like a pock size lump in

437
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: my throat on this like near deflection that Debn saved

438
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: again and It was reminding me and people on my

439
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: Blue Sky without me mentioning it, of the Cubs World

440
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: Series that required a rain delay, a rousing speech, extra

441
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: innings and the Cubs finally break their one hundred and

442
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: eight years or out. This is not the same situation,

443
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: but people were like, you're in the building, Spain. You're

444
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: in the building again, just like last time. You have

445
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: to do something, And I was like, can you have

446
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: an indoor rain delay? But more so than anything, it

447
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: was just this feeling of like not to get to baseballly.

448
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: But the Cubs had the lead and blew it. And

449
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: then I was thinking, this is the losingest team of

450
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: all time. They're the team that's synonymous with losing, and

451
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: if they lose now, it will still be the worst

452
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: loss they've ever had and I will be here for

453
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: it and that will suck. And I kept thinking this

454
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: team was destined. They were not challenged at any point,

455
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: no one doubted them. If they lose this after all

456
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: of that, they've won every game that didn't matter, and

457
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: then they lose a gold medal game to in Canada,

458
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: We're going to be so sad.

459
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: And I was trying not to hold onto that feeling,

460
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: but I couldn't help it. There was a moment, probably

461
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: about ten minutes left in the third period, when on

462
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: the jumbo tron they showed a video of the gold

463
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: medals sitting on their nice little platter. They were getting polished.

464
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: They looked so beautiful, and I was like, hell no.

465
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: I felt sick. I felt literally sick when they showed that,

466
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: like it's almost that time. I'm like, no, no, no,

467
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: there's plenty of time. It's not almost that time. There's

468
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: plenty of time for everything to change. And there was.

469
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: There was time. There was time, but things almost got

470
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: worse for a second there because that British curl salami

471
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: penalty that set up a really dangerous power play. Even

472
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: if the Canadians don't score on it, that's still time

473
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: that the US is not likely to be in possession

474
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: of the puck and attacking. And as time was whittling away,

475
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: it was like six minutes left and thankfully only a

476
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: two minute minor. And from what whited Am on Blue

477
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: Sky said, the Canadian broadcast team even agreed that it

478
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: was a two and not a five. The crowd certainly

479
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: didn't think so. They wanted a major, but Aaron Ambrose

480
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: went to the locker room, Britta Carlslemmi served her penalty,

481
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: and the US managed to kill it off, which leads

482
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: us to two minutes and three seconds left in the

483
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: third period, and Hillary mother fucking Knight does what Hillary

484
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: mother Knight does and Layla Edwards in her first Olympics,

485
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: carrying all the pressure not just of her first games,

486
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: but of everyone talking about the first black woman to

487
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: make the team, the first black woman to score point,

488
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: the first black one, all these things, which is incredible, incredible.

489
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 1: It is also a lot of pressure and a lot

490
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: of representation that she feels like she's got a hold.

491
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: She shoots it from dead ahead and Hillary Knight deflects it.

492
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: In past Dabien, who heading into the tournament was leading

493
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: the PWHL and say percentage, was leading in goals against,

494
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: was like doing exactly what you'd expect from her, and

495
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: in this game, she was that brick.

496
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 2: Wall until that moment and then my wrist started hurting,

497
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: the casera was grabbing it, so yeah, then I.

498
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: Assaulted Alex and said, oh my god eleventy hundred times,

499
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: and then it was funny. I had a friend who

500
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: wanted to say hi quick, and so I stood and

501
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: talk to her briefly, and I realized that the entire

502
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: time I talked to her, my body was reacting as

503
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: if I had just survived a bear attack. I'm not joking.

504
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: It was that stress response where you've been running away

505
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: from the bear and then you find a safe place

506
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: and you try to take deep breasts, but your heart

507
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: is still going. The entire break before the overtime, my

508
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: heart would not stop reacting as if I was in danger,

509
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: and I was I was in danger of being sad,

510
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: and I think.

511
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: It reminded me so much of how there have been

512
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,239
Speaker 2: other times where you're kind of like on the edge

513
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 2: of your seat and you're waiting, can they do it?

514
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: Can they do it? Can they do it?

515
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: And they don't do it, and then you still have

516
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 2: that energy build up, but like the release isn't there

517
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: because the game ends, and so to see it actually

518
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: happen was incredible, incredible, That's what I kept thinking. Frankly,

519
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: as the time was dwindling down, I thought, this is

520
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 2: how it's going to go. A stupid goal early in

521
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 2: the second. It's going to be a one nothing game

522
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: where they get close the number of times.

523
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: But that's it. The time just runs out. No, thank you,

524
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: Hillary Knight. No, that's not what happened. We fucking went overtime.

525
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: That's not how this rivalry, not how this works. And

526
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: in the break right before the overtime, the athletic Shane

527
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: Goldman unhelpfully reminded us all via her live blog that

528
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 1: Marie fa Leep Polenn has scored three golden goals at

529
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: the Olympics twenty ten, twenty fourteen, twenty twenty two. So

530
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: I was like, shit, Captain Clutch might do it again.

531
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: And then she also let us know that Laura Stacy,

532
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: missus Captain Clutch, the wife of Marie Leef Poulen, is

533
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: leading the PWHL with three overtime goals. So I'm like, great,

534
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be one of our two friends of

535
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: the show that stick a decker into our heart. And

536
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: as the three on three overtime period starts, the guy

537
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: two away from me in the media seating was like, oh,

538
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: this is exciting, and I was like, that's one word

539
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: for it. I was much more on the lines with

540
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: front of the show Josh Bard, who texted me hockey

541
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: has blue lines and red lines, and this three on

542
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: three must be the equivalent of rip being white lines,

543
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: because again I felt like I was potentially in guardiac arrest.

544
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: But thankfully we didn't have to wait too long because

545
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: Taylor Heisei passes it to Megan Keller who just slips

546
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: it past the defender and then the backhand past Daviian

547
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: and that moment of the throwing of the gloves and

548
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: the stick by all the teammates, that's one of the

549
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: coolest moments of all of sport. Yeah, I always laugh.

550
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, they're gonna have to sort through their helmets later,

551
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: like whose gloves are who's And oh, I'm not an

552
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: organized person, I promise you. So the fact that that

553
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: is what goes through my mind is a little bit ridiculous,

554
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: but it is so fun to watch, just like equipment

555
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: spill everywhere as people rush the joy the joy.

556
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: The DJ nailed it in the time where everyone's celebrating

557
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: and waiting for the metal ceremony. You're the best around

558
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: from Karate Kid Party in the USA from Miley Cyrus.

559
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: It was just oh, the feeling, the relief to release

560
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: the joy, it was so good, and watching them all

561
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: skate around on the ice with their flags and take photos.

562
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: Taylor Heisie was taking her own photos with her cell phone.

563
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: It was very giving. You're doing great, sweetie from mean girls.

564
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: Then they escaped containment and went out and hung out

565
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: with their families and Kendall Quinn Schofield brought her son

566
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: Drew out onto the ice and was skating around with him.

567
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: He wanted a puck, they didn't have one, so they

568
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: gave him athletic tape that he was kind of chewing

569
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: on while they were trying to take photos. It was

570
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: so sweet.

571
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: One of the things that I absolutely loved seeing was players,

572
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: So they were like in the moat in between the

573
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 2: ice rink and where the fans are, and a whole

574
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: bunch of them. I saw them take the gold medal

575
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: off of their neck and hand it up to somebody

576
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: in the crowd and just let them hold it for

577
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 2: a moment and take in their contributions to what led

578
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: to that moment in that win. And it was just

579
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: really cool to see players be able to share that

580
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: with their families in such a touching way.

581
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big moment. It's a tradition for people

582
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: to often put the metal around the neck of their

583
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: mom and then their dad or who whoever else was

584
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: supporting them and help them get there. It was really

585
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: really cool to see. So we watched them celebrate for

586
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: a while, and then we sped on over to the

587
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: mix zone where we could get our interviews. And the

588
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: funny thing about hockey players is you would think they

589
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: would want to talk about winning a gold medal, but

590
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: most of them try to speed past the media so

591
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: they can get to the locker room, presumably to celebrate

592
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: with each other and put the goggles on in poor champagne.

593
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: It's very different than the other events. And we managed

594
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: to catch a handful of them though, and we caught

595
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: some of them in the mix zone, and then Hillary

596
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: and Megan Keller and Robo the Coach were in the

597
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: press conference, so we got so much sound we're actually

598
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: going to save some of it for another show so

599
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: we can make sure we really bring you guys a

600
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: lot of what they had to say. But for now,

601
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: we're going to start with Hillary Knight's very simple answer.

602
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: She was asked what she was feeling after scoring the

603
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: game tying goal. Was it excitement, was it gratitude, something else?

604
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: And here's what she said in the presser We're going

605
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: to win the game.

606
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: It's just that simple.

607
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: Oh that's freaking cold. It it's so good. It's so good.

608
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: That's why she is who she is. Oh my god,

609
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: so good. Hillary was also asked actually on the live

610
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: broadcast right after the game whether this would be maybe

611
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: her final Olympic goal, and she said, quote, we'll see.

612
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: And she was similarly mercurial in the press conference. So again,

613
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: based on her mom and our conversation and what she

614
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: said tonight, that door is definitely a jar. And I

615
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: think it's always hard in the moments right after a

616
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: game like this for someone to answer that question of

617
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: is this really it? So we'll have to wait and see.

618
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: She was more talkative, however, when she was asked about

619
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: a very big last forty eight hours or so, first

620
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: with her proposal to longtime partner Britney Bow and then

621
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: winning a gold medal. Take a listen.

622
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: I think I was more nervous for the proposal than

623
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 3: I was for the gold medal game, to be honest,

624
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 3: And my legs felt like jello, and so I was

625
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 3: kind of carrying that for the whole tournament. I was like,

626
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: I just need to get this over with, and I

627
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: looked at the calendar, I was like, well, once we

628
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 3: win this game, we're not gonna have much time because

629
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 3: we're going to be you know, talking to you all

630
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: and celebrating with the girls and getting pulled in different

631
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 3: and I really.

632
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: Want to be like with this group as much as

633
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: possible and soak it all in.

634
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 3: And so yeah, I just call me crazy, but doing

635
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 3: it before a gold medal game, it just seemed fitting

636
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 3: for us. And you know, we found, you know, just

637
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 3: through the Olympics one another, and it was just really special.

638
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 3: And to cap it all off with the gold medal

639
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: is awesome and I can't wait to cheer her on

640
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 3: for fifteen hundred tomorrow.

641
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: Frankly, there were people Alex kind of asking about the timing,

642
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: like why not wait, like believe in your team that

643
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: you're going to win gold, And I said, I think

644
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: it's probably like a day between their events. Neither is competing,

645
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: it it gets to be about both of them and

646
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: not about one person's event with the other. But it's

647
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: also funny to hear her basically be like, my legs

648
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: have been jelly thinking about proposing, and I needed to

649
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: get the fuck rid of that before the gold medal

650
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: hockey game I needed to play in.

651
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: You can tell she's not normal because she's like, I'm

652
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: more nervous to propose to my very steady girlfriend than

653
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: I am to.

654
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: Play to play my life life. Yeah. She also when

655
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: she was asked again about the engagement leader, she's that

656
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: she didn't really think about all the messages that she

657
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: was going to get and the response that her teammates

658
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: would have, whom she didn't tell beforehand. So she just

659
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: posted the engagement video and then went to practice and

660
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: came back, and she said.

661
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 3: This just with like scheduling and Brits schedule, it just

662
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 3: made sense to do it that morning, and I was

663
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: a little naive to just like throw the video up

664
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: on social and put my phone away for practice.

665
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,239
Speaker 1: She didn't tell any of us.

666
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: You didn't tell any of them.

667
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't yeah, I know.

668
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 3: Sorry, calm back after video and everyone's you know, playing

669
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: Bruno Mars and Mary you.

670
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm all right, But yeah, I thought I could

671
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: skate on by. I don't know. I think I don't

672
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: know what I was thinking. I really hope someone was videoing.

673
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: I want to see the video of her walking into

674
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: the locker room and they're playing Bruno Mars marry me.

675
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: That's so sweet. It's so sweet.

676
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: Go new team DJ Tessa Janicky.

677
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it was her, well done and also spanning

678
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: multiple generations so everyone could appreciate the moment. So before

679
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: Hillary scores that game time goal, the US was in

680
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: a very unfamiliar position, trailing for the first time, lacking

681
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: the offensive firepower that defined this team for the entirety

682
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: of this Olympic run. So I asked Leila Edwards, who's

683
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: now the first black woman to win a gold medal

684
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: for the US and Olympic hockey, what the feeling was

685
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: in that locker room before the third period. You know, Alex,

686
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm always very curious, what is the coach saying, who's speaking,

687
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: what are they saying? Was the speech like? And here's

688
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: what Laylah said, honestly, study in all confidence. The screwup

689
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: has been unbelieveab all time. And who know, it wasn't

690
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: going to be easy.

691
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: You know, none of us have ever wanted it easy,

692
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: as Robo, our head coach said, So we were prepared

693
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 3: for the challenge and we never lost hope, as you

694
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 3: can tell.

695
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: And Alex I asked a number of players that same question,

696
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: and they all basically said the same thing. Just study,

697
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: just do what we always do. We knew we could win,

698
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: we knew we were putting a lot of good shots on,

699
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: we knew eventually it would work out, and so you know,

700
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: we just believed in ourselves. Wow.

701
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, honestly, I think that's what you want

702
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: to hear. The movies love painting a picture of a

703
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: coach delivering and inspiring speech. But I think about times

704
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 2: that I was in a locker room and things weren't

705
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: going well and people were scattered and everyone is trying

706
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: to do something to change things around. That's bad compared

707
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: to just steady energy.

708
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: We can do it. Yeah, Sometimes that rousing speech indicates

709
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: a level of panic that is required, And in those moments,

710
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: even if there might be panic required, you should still

711
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: be like, listen, this is who we are. We know

712
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: we can do this. Nothing needs to be said. Let's

713
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: go on.

714
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: We have Hillary A.

715
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: Knight. We have Hillary Knight, and she's already told us

716
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: we're going to win this game because I scored so

717
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: in overtime they did, and it was Devender Meghan Keller's

718
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: insane goal that wanted for the US. I hope you

719
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: all have watched that replay over and over. A bunch

720
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: of her teammates didn't even see the move live, so

721
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: they will have to be watching replays, including the very

722
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: teammate that passed her, the Taylor HEIZI here's what she said.

723
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Meg was flying up the ice and she

724
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: was calling for the puck and I kind of wanted

725
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: to change so I chucked it up to her and

726
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: I didn't even see what she did. So I'm very

727
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: excited to get to.

728
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: My phone after this and really get a good memory

729
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: and burn.

730
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: It into my memory after that. It's kind of hilarious

731
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: to think about it. And there were a number of

732
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: people who said like they were on the bench and

733
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: almost missed it and someone nudged them or they looked away,

734
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: and then they have no idea what happened. They just

735
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: saw the gloves flying and they were like, we want

736
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: we won. So I think a lot of them are

737
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: going to be watching that Keller goal over and over.

738
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:29,479
Speaker 1: Oh and breathe, yeah, exactly and breathe. Actually, it was funny.

739
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: At the press conference, Megan was asked if she's got

740
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: a name for that move, first, if she practices it

741
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: and it was funny. She was kind of like, no, never,

742
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: I never do that, and some of her teammates were like, actually,

743
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: we know she's got those moves and she can dangle

744
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: even though she's a defender, and we see her do

745
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: it in practice, but she didn't have a name for

746
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: it yet. This was of course, inspired by the Jocelyn

747
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: Lamoureau famous iconic twenty eighteen gold medal winning shot, the

748
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: penalty shot that she calls the oops I did it again.

749
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: So they wanted Megan to have a name ready, but

750
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: she doesn't. But Hillary Knight said they're going to workshop,

751
00:34:58,480 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: but in the locker room and get back to everyone.

752
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 1: I look forward to whatever they call it. I wanted

753
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: to suggest something like dragged that bitch, because the way

754
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: she dragged the puck around her and then finished backhand,

755
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: like dragged and backhanded that bitch. I don't think they're

756
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,479
Speaker 1: going to go with that, though, I don't think so either.

757
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: I don't think so either. Kendall Coinschofield after the game

758
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: was asked how fitting it was for Hillary to be

759
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: the one that sent the game to overtime and kept

760
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: their gold medal hooks alive. Here's what she said.

761
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 4: Hillary always goes out with a bang, and you know

762
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 4: from the proposal that had me falling off a chair

763
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 4: to you know, to her, you know, break her record

764
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 4: breaking goal. Just I mean, you can't script it any better.

765
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 4: And obviously get in another gold medal for her, like

766
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 4: so happy for her and you know, the greatest to

767
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 4: do it, and you can't script you literally can't.

768
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: Script it any better. I do love that all of

769
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: her teammates were like, excuse me, you just proposed right

770
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: before the game and you didn't tell us and I

771
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: almost fell out my chair. But there were many, many

772
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: thoughts about Hillary Knights role with this team, her leadership

773
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: over the years, and what she's meant to hockey, and

774
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: we'll play a lot more of those in the future show.

775
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, if this is it a big if we don't

776
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 2: want it to be it, then I also have to

777
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: be sad at this gold medal win, because oh, she

778
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 2: has just meant so much to this team. Put she

779
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: has pushed the sport so far ahead, both in terms

780
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: of the national team and the fights that she's led

781
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 2: there the p WHL. And sometimes I think people think

782
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 2: that because of Hillary's stature, that she you know, doesn't

783
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 2: need to work as hard, and yet I think anyone

784
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 2: on that roster would tell you that she is the

785
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 2: last one taking shot. She's putting in the extra time,

786
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: the extra hours, and so that doesn't go.

787
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: Away when you get good, and when you get older

788
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: you can get a bit more. Yeah, Alex, you're making

789
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: me sad. I know, I'm so sorry. I didn't want

790
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 1: to think about that. And I have been interviewing Hillary

791
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 1: for over a decade and it was actually really cute.

792
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: They weren't to let her come to our mix zone.

793
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: They were only doing presser for her, and she saw

794
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: me out across the corner and she ran over and

795
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: gave me a big hug, so before she went to

796
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: go do the presser, and I was like, I want

797
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: to ask you questions, but I'm not allowed. But I'm

798
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: so happy for you, And yeah, I mean, this is

799
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: a person who carried the weight of it all for

800
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: a very long time. And there are tremendous other talented

801
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: players in the US, but when it came down to it,

802
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: she was the one out front pretty much every time.

803
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: And it's not always the case that the best player,

804
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: the captain, the superstar, the face of the sport is

805
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: also a wonderful person, an incredible role model, a great speaker,

806
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: a positive influence on others, a kind person, a person

807
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: who's generous with media. Like Hillary Knight is literally Captain

808
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: America and she has been great in all the ways

809
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: that hockey is needed over the years. And thankfully there's

810
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: such an incredible space now that she helped build that

811
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: will make it a little easier for everyone to carry

812
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: the weight. But man, did she carry it for a

813
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: really long time. And so has Marie Filip Pullen and

814
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: the Canada side of things, and the fact that that

815
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: might be the end of that rivalry. They both might

816
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: be done, and one of them might be done and

817
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: the other might come back and not be facing the

818
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: other one anymore. After all the podiums we've seen Alex

819
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: over the last two and a half weeks, the saddest

820
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: silver by far.

821
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think we should discuss this on

822
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 2: another episode of When the TV shows sad people at

823
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: the Olympics. And I maybe have an unpopular opinion, but

824
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: I appreciate the sadness because I think it shows you

825
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 2: how much they care and how much it means to them.

826
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: And I think, especially in this rivalry, you know. Thankfully,

827
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 2: we have seen so many other teams build strong programs

828
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: that are getting even better. But for the US and Canada,

829
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 2: going home with silver.

830
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: Means losing, and that's tough.

831
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 2: It hurts, and I appreciate seeing the hurt because you

832
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: understand what it means to them.

833
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've talked about this before, and not to get

834
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: too deep, but the winning doesn't meet anything if you

835
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: don't have the potential for loss and momentum mari is

836
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: the thing I mentioned before, which is, remember we all die.

837
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: If in life you don't have the idea that it

838
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: could all end, then existing and living and having life

839
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything anymore. That's why there's movies about like

840
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm a fucking vampire and eternal life is completely depressing.

841
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: I have nothing, no end, no beginning, And so the sadness,

842
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 1: the disappointment is the thing that you need to offset

843
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: the joy and to make the joy all that more meaningful.

844
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: But man, it is hard watching people get a silver

845
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: medal in the Olympics and be crying or stone faced.

846
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: And there's tons of research actually that silver medalists in

847
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 1: the Olympics are sadder than bronze medalists because bronze medalists

848
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: are grateful that they made the podium and they almost

849
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,479
Speaker 1: missed it, and silver medallists are sad that they missed

850
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: out on gold. It was interesting Marie at her presser

851
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: took the medal off before she had even finished getting

852
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: up from her chair to walk away from the presser.

853
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: It was almost like she was like, I cannot have

854
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: this around my neck. Gross silver. Yeah.

855
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,919
Speaker 2: It was reminiscent even of the time eight years ago

856
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: when Jocelyn, the rock of Team Canada, when she had

857
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: the silver medal placed around her neck, she immediately took

858
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: it off. She ended up apologizing for that. It's not

859
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 2: a win to them, Yes, not tonight. I think eventually

860
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 2: you hope something that you're proud of, but on tonight

861
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 2: it's a loss.

862
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: And I think back to the remember that you don't

863
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: know what comes next. For probably at least one of

864
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: the people in that Team Canada, that will be their

865
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: only medal and they will not get another. They might

866
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: not make the next team, they might get injured, they

867
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: might retire, something might change, and so in this moment

868
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: it's disappointing and later in life they will be so

869
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: grateful to have an Olympic medal that they won. Yeah.

870
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we have so much more to say about

871
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: what we talked to the players after the game about,

872
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: but we're going to save that for a future episode.

873
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: For now, we just want to say shout out to

874
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: all the slices who live this with us online, as

875
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: we were so nervous for the ones who sent us

876
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: photos of their setups, and sorry to all of y'all

877
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: that tried to balance work meetings with this, because no

878
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: cheering in the press box means I get to assault

879
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: Alex while saying, oh my god, oh my god, my god,

880
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: my god. But you were probably at work trying to

881
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: pretend like you weren't watching Hillary Knight tie things up

882
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: with two minutes to go, and Megan Keller went it

883
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: in overtime. Sandy Robinson sent us a message said, watch

884
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: USA and Canada in my house in Maryland, all alone,

885
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: but dressed up anyway. Great game. I love that I

886
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: have one thousand percent dressed up head to toe and

887
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: gear when no one was gonna see me. So I

888
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: totally respect that Megan Flood said she had to have

889
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: nachos and popcorn. I love that even when she was

890
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: at work, she was still throwing a party. Diana Penney

891
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: was watching from her car. She said, here's my gold

892
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: metal hockey game setup. I have to walk into a

893
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: meeting in ten minutes and I'm grumpy about it. I

894
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: do not blame you, Diana. Pamela Mudway said she was

895
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: going to try to stand up her phone behind her

896
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: computer and make sure her eyes were gazing at the

897
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: zoom meet on camera. One ie on the camera, one

898
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: I on her phone. I'll let you know how it goes,

899
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: and if I get fired or not, We'll hope if

900
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: you didn't get fired, and hopefully no one that you

901
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: work with is listening to this and then fires you

902
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: as a result of us naming you in this episode. Also,

903
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: Molly Yanity is a professor who said she ended her

904
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: classes early and sent to everyone home so that they

905
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: could correct answer yes, so that they could watch the game. Yes, teacher, Yes,

906
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: all right. Like we said, there's so much more we

907
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: could say about this, but it is one thirty am

908
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: in these bowels, so we got to take a break.

909
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 1: When we come back. You think hockey is over, huh,

910
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: think again? Chow s lices and welcome back. We love

911
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: that you're listening. But we always want you to get

912
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: in the game every day too, So here's our good

Speaker 1: game play of the day. Did you love watching Olympic hockey?

00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: out the kind of advice only a goat can give,

929
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: rating eleven Olympic Medals worth of Wisdom review. Simone Biles

930
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: was here in Italy, taken in Olympic events, and after

931
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: US figure skating favorite Ilia Mallinin's disappointing eighth place finish,

932
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: she reached out to him immediately, sending him some supportive

933
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: messages and offering her phone number if he wanted to talk.

934
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: Biles told Olympics Dot Com quote, I really went into

935
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: protection mode. End quote. Biles also crashed Scott Evans access

936
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: Hull would interview with Melanin, recounting watching Malanin's falls live

937
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: in person, saying quote, I just wanted to scoop them

938
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: up off the ice and put them in my pocket

939
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: and be like, come on, we'll deal with this later.

940
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: End quote. Biles also offered this sage advice quote, you

941
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: don't have to think about what's next. Why does everybody

942
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: want what's next? Take care of yourself mentally, physically, Feel

943
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: all the feels from the Olympics. This is one of

944
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: the best moments and times of your life. Take all

945
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: the pictures, and then when you go home you think

946
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: about what's next. Biles went on, It might not be

947
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 1: what you thought it was. It never is. It's still

948
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: a dream come true. End quote. We love a therapized

949

Speaker 1: and wise mama. Goat. Now it's your turn, y'all, rate
