- 2:41Speaker 1: watching the Olympic Games, there's nothing left for you. It's
- 2:44Speaker 1: all over. The final day is in the books now.
- 2:47Speaker 1: The twenty twenty six Milan Courtina Winter Olympic Games. Bye bye,
- 2:52Speaker 1: see it. Let me get out of here. They're done.
- 2:54Speaker 1: And it was a breakfast showdown for the ages, for
- 2:59Speaker 1: the ages, the Canadians versus the Americans, for all the
- 3:04Speaker 1: gold well whatever that is. I don't know how much
- 3:06Speaker 1: gold is actually in a gold medal. But they played
- 3:08Speaker 1: the game dropping the puck just after eight in the
- 3:12Speaker 1: morning on the East coast, five in the morning on
- 3:15Speaker 1: the West coast. I don't know if you watched or not.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Maybe you got up early and you were watching, and
- 3:21Speaker 1: perhaps you decided to pick sleep. That's what I did.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I didn't get on. I'd do an overnight show. I'm
- 3:26Speaker 1: not getting up at that. How are you kidding me?
- 3:30Speaker 1: No way now, if the game's played at a time
- 3:32Speaker 1: I can watch it. I watched it, and I got up.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Thanks to the world that we live in, and you
- 3:36Speaker 1: can see everything you need to see all that, But
- 3:38Speaker 1: my god, I was snoozing away. I had no concerns,
- 3:43Speaker 1: no concerns at all. But I watched it on demand
- 3:46Speaker 1: there as the game ended up going to overtime and
- 3:50Speaker 1: Jack Hughes, who Jack Hughes gets it done? There, the
- 3:56Speaker 1: US hockey hero as he scored what mister Albert called
- 4:01Speaker 1: the golden goal the golden goal there against Canada and
- 4:06Speaker 1: the game winner won forty one into overtime and turn
- 4:11Speaker 1: out the lads, the parties over forty six years, forty
- 4:17Speaker 1: six years in the making the Miracle on Ice, I
- 4:19Speaker 1: guess they can stop making documentaries about the Miracle on
- 4:22Speaker 1: Ice now and now I can do something with this.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I'm probably made a documentary right imagine there. So anyway, listen,
- 4:30Speaker 1: the debate now is taking place after the USA won
- 4:33Speaker 1: the gold in men's hockey. How big a deal is this?
- 4:39Speaker 1: How big a deal is it? So? Well, that's a
- 4:41Speaker 1: good jumping all point. Let us discuss the question who
- 4:44Speaker 1: benefits more from the golden goal? Right, the golden goal,
- 4:51Speaker 1: as Kenny Albert called it, Who benefits more the NHL
- 4:55Speaker 1: marketing department or Jack Hughes himself that Hey, now, this
- 5:01Speaker 1: big game. I'm sure the rings were great, even though
- 5:03Speaker 1: it was played at a ridiculous hour, and yet will
- 5:08Speaker 1: this elevate the game of hockey? So I've got my
- 5:10Speaker 1: thoughts on this. I got Marvel, Comics, iPad and beyond meat,
- 5:16Speaker 1: and we will combine all these things together and make
- 5:20Speaker 1: some hot dogs and apple pie classic American meal, just
- 5:24Speaker 1: like that. All right, So hey, the answer to the
- 5:26Speaker 1: question who benefits more? Side by side, You've got the
- 5:30Speaker 1: NHL marketing people on one side, You've got Jack Hues
- 5:33Speaker 1: over here on the other side, and the arrow is
- 5:35Speaker 1: pointing towards Jack Hughes by a country mile by a
- 5:40Speaker 1: country mile. The Olympics are all about what they're about,
- 5:43Speaker 1: flag waving, chest thumping, taking condoms from the Olympics, like
- 5:49Speaker 1: all that stuff. That's what this is about, and patriotism
- 5:53Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So it's a different audience. I've
- 5:55Speaker 1: tried to explain this people. They don't understand. They're called idiots,
- 5:59Speaker 1: but I've tried to explain. It's like the we didn't
- 6:01Speaker 1: talk too much about the Olympics on this show because
- 6:04Speaker 1: we know our audience, and this is not that right.
- 6:07Speaker 1: You're not getting the people that were watching the Olympics,
- 6:12Speaker 1: who are really into the Olympics are not going to
- 6:14Speaker 1: be watching a San Jose Sharks game against the Columbus
- 6:17Speaker 1: Blue Jackets on a random Tuesday night. They're just not Okay,
- 6:21Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. I can watch a Devil's Stars
- 6:23Speaker 1: game on a Thursday night. The NHL the idea that
- 6:28Speaker 1: the NHL, many of the people around the NHL have
- 6:31Speaker 1: that this is going to rise. You know, the the
- 6:34Speaker 1: NHL players being in the Olympics the way that they
- 6:37Speaker 1: were when they stopped the the hockey season and all
- 6:39Speaker 1: that stuff that, you know, rising tide lifts all boats
- 6:43Speaker 1: is the mindset. And well, that might be true. I
- 6:47Speaker 1: see no evidence that that is going to be the case.
- 6:49Speaker 1: It's one speed boat. Granted, it's a good looking speedboat,
- 6:53Speaker 1: solid speed boat. And Jack Hughes is driving. He's scored
- 7:00Speaker 1: the golden goal and all that, and that's great, and
- 7:03Speaker 1: had a mouthful of chicklets and took some lumber from
- 7:07Speaker 1: Sam Bennett. The teeth go flying, so that was kind
- 7:11Speaker 1: of cool. That's marketing gold, is what that is. Forget
- 7:14Speaker 1: the golden goal, that's marketing gold. You get the bloody lip,
- 7:18Speaker 1: there some teeth missing, and he's wrapped himself in the flag.
- 7:22Speaker 1: There the stars and stripes and all that. Madison Avenue
- 7:25Speaker 1: got a little chubby. They're they're drooling, they're so excited.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Oh my god, we got his grit. And so the NHL,
- 7:32Speaker 1: they will get a temporary sugar high. The NHL will
- 7:35Speaker 1: get a temporary sugar high. This wasn't twenty college kids
- 7:40Speaker 1: capturing the hearts, minds, and souls of an entire sporting
- 7:44Speaker 1: nation by ending the Soviet Union's reign of terror. This
- 7:49Speaker 1: was not that. This was a bunch of high paid
- 7:54Speaker 1: NHL stars who went out and beat a bunch of
- 7:58Speaker 1: other high paid HL stars who happened to be wearing
- 8:02Speaker 1: laundry representing their country. Period. Stop. That's what this was. Busy.
- 8:07Speaker 1: NHL's got other issues, like all the sports league day
- 8:11Speaker 1: to day. They're in the purgatory of regional cable television,
- 8:15Speaker 1: streaming issues, all that stuff. So they've got that now.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Jack Hughes, right, gotta think of this like Marvel Comics.
- 8:22Speaker 1: I think of this like Marvel Comics because he just
- 8:24Speaker 1: became Captain America with that gap tooth grin, and from
- 8:29Speaker 1: a marketing standpoint, you got it's a brave new world
- 8:33Speaker 1: with Jack Hughes. And while the Devils, the New Jersey Devils,
- 8:37Speaker 1: are not exactly a glamour destination in the National Hockey League,
- 8:43Speaker 1: this is for him breakout. I could see him doing
- 8:46Speaker 1: some insurance commercials, medical spots, sell toothpaste, some kind of
- 8:52Speaker 1: dental repair operation, advertising, all that stuff. And he'll get
- 8:56Speaker 1: the branding. You know, there'll definitely be some branding here
- 8:58Speaker 1: for Jackues, that is for sure. And even you know, upset,
- 9:03Speaker 1: and I did kind of enjoy the people who you know,
- 9:06Speaker 1: those that live here in America who hate America. There
- 9:08Speaker 1: are many of them who are very upset by all
- 9:11Speaker 1: of this, and it's just, oh, I've annoyed. Everyone's wrapping
- 9:16Speaker 1: themselves in the flag and all that stuff, and it's
- 9:19Speaker 1: all about the country. It was all about right, I
- 9:23Speaker 1: love the Jack you said that after the games, I
- 9:26Speaker 1: love the USA and all that, and the boys got
- 9:30Speaker 1: a phone call from the President and in the locker
- 9:34Speaker 1: room there to congratulate them, you had the FBI director
- 9:37Speaker 1: was out there futzing around, celebrating, and so there you go.
- 9:42Speaker 1: So those of you that don't like the America and
- 9:45Speaker 1: all that, well, it was kicking the nuts to you.
- 9:47Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that. It'll be okay, all right now.
- 9:49Speaker 1: The other side here, the losing locker room, which is
- 9:52Speaker 1: usually the better story. We had some interesting reactions here,
- 9:56Speaker 1: including look at the Canadians and how they this very
- 10:01Speaker 1: embarrassing right for our brothers and sisters in Canada. So
- 10:05Speaker 1: the Avalanche Center Nathan McKinnon is his name, and he
- 10:10Speaker 1: was asked about the final loss, you know, the Olympic
- 10:15Speaker 1: loss there in the final game, the gold medal game,
- 10:17Speaker 1: and he said, quote, you be the judge of who
- 10:21Speaker 1: was the better team today? That was the quote, You
- 10:23Speaker 1: be the judge if we the better team? Was they
- 10:25Speaker 1: clearly implying that the better team lost the game. So
- 10:29Speaker 1: the question Nathan McKinnon part of the Canadians, and he
- 10:34Speaker 1: says essentially that the better team Canada lost to the
- 10:38Speaker 1: lesser team, the USA in the Winter Olympics gold medal
- 10:42Speaker 1: hockey game. Can you put it into context? What he's
- 10:45Speaker 1: getting at?
- 10:46Speaker 2: So?
- 10:46Speaker 1: What is he getting so, Nathan McKinnon, after a minutes
- 10:49Speaker 1: long deliberation of the available information, Nathan McKinnon is in
- 10:54Speaker 1: full blown Morton's salt kind of mind. He's in like
- 10:59Speaker 1: a Morton Salt state of mind, is what he's in
- 11:01Speaker 1: right now. He's sprinkling the kosher salt on the wound,
- 11:07Speaker 1: is what he's doing here. Canada did win the box score.
- 11:11Speaker 1: We then when the boxers had forty two shots and
- 11:16Speaker 1: team USA had twenty eight. Congratulations you team Canada dominated
- 11:21Speaker 1: the iPad. Unfortunately, I don't know there's any way around this. Unfortunately,
- 11:26Speaker 1: the game is not played on a tablet, which is
- 11:29Speaker 1: just a shame. It's played on on ice, frozen water,
- 11:33Speaker 1: and you gotta put the puck in the net, not
- 11:36Speaker 1: on the net, in the net. You gotta put it
- 11:38Speaker 1: in the net. And the would have, could have, should have,
- 11:42Speaker 1: which I guess works in a therapy session when you're
- 11:46Speaker 1: going to see your shrink. I could have, I should have.
- 11:49Speaker 1: I would Okay, good, sit down, I'll charge you a
- 11:52Speaker 1: redoculous amount of money for the hour. Why not? And
- 11:58Speaker 1: Team Canada saw what I saw on the re not rebroadcast,
- 12:04Speaker 1: it's the stream, the thing of a jay guy clicked
- 12:07Speaker 1: on there. They had prime rib opportunity, several of them,
- 12:12Speaker 1: several of them, and they didn't cash in. And they
- 12:16Speaker 1: left that on the plate. And that's on them. That's
- 12:18Speaker 1: on them, including the man who said that essentially the
- 12:22Speaker 1: Canadian team is better than the US team, Nathan McKinnon,
- 12:26Speaker 1: who had an open net and somehow screwed it up,
- 12:29Speaker 1: did not get the puck in the net. That's the
- 12:31Speaker 1: yetti in the room, that's the bombinable snowman in the room.
- 12:35Speaker 1: And then there's hell on ice Connor Hellibuck, the goaltender
- 12:42Speaker 1: forty one saves forty one, says hell on ice for
- 12:46Speaker 1: Team USA, and oh it was so nice. And he
- 12:50Speaker 1: believe he plays for the Winnipeg Jets. So I'm sure
- 12:54Speaker 1: he'll be getting his balls busted when he goes back
- 12:56Speaker 1: to Winnipeg. But there you go, got it done. One
- 12:59Speaker 1: game situation, and that's usually how that goes. And a
- 13:04Speaker 1: you don't want to go down to one game in
- 13:06Speaker 1: hockey because the goalie, when goalie gets like that, it's
- 13:09Speaker 1: like a forest fire. You're not gonna You're not gonna
- 13:11Speaker 1: stop it. You're not putting it out. So good luck
- 13:14Speaker 1: on that now. Last word, just from a wide angle
- 13:18Speaker 1: lens from thousands of feet up in the sky looking
- 13:23Speaker 1: down and seeing what has happened here, the curtain coming
- 13:27Speaker 1: down on the Milana Cortina Winter Olympic Games and all that.
- 13:31Speaker 1: They had the closing ceremonies then Sunday. Now, I did
- 13:35Speaker 1: not watch the closing ceremonies. I'm not a closing ceremonies guy.
- 13:38Speaker 1: That's not my thing. If it's your thing, congratulations, I
- 13:42Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed it, if you like the dancing and
- 13:44Speaker 1: all that stuff, more power to you, not for me,
- 13:47Speaker 1: not for me. So I did not watch it. I
- 13:51Speaker 1: understand though there was quite quite the celebration. There quite
- 13:54Speaker 1: the celebration. Two weeks of competition, one hundred and sixteen
- 13:58Speaker 1: sets of medals were given out across sixteen different sports
- 14:02Speaker 1: at the Olympics. The country of France is next in
- 14:07Speaker 1: line for the Winter Olympics in twenty thirty. The Winter
- 14:10Speaker 1: Games in the French Alps will be taking place there.
- 14:13Speaker 1: La will host the Summer Games coming up in twenty
- 14:16Speaker 1: twenty eight, so you got that to look forward to.
- 14:19Speaker 1: So with the men's hockey medal team USA their final
- 14:24Speaker 1: medal count, they got thirty three overall medals. But do
- 14:27Speaker 1: we really count the bronze? Why did they even do?
- 14:29Speaker 1: Why do they still give out the bronze?
- 14:31Speaker 3: This say?
- 14:31Speaker 1: Is that not the dumbest thing I've never met heard
- 14:32Speaker 1: anyone say that's a good thing. The bronze medals, dump
- 14:35Speaker 1: the silver medals, stupid two. USA got twelve gold medals.
- 14:39Speaker 1: That's really all that matters, right. The thirty two is
- 14:41Speaker 1: wonderful or the thirty three, but twelve gold medals, that's
- 14:47Speaker 1: what should be all around. Norway had an Olympic high
- 14:50Speaker 1: eighteen gold medals, and they led overall with forty one
- 14:56Speaker 1: if you're into that kind of thing, forty one medals,
- 14:58Speaker 1: but the gold is really all that metal. We don't
- 15:00Speaker 1: celebrate second place in any other sport. Is there any
- 15:04Speaker 1: of the other than the college basketball where you get
- 15:05Speaker 1: the final four? Right, I should say college basketball. They
- 15:08Speaker 1: celebrate the final four in this case. Come on, so
- 15:12Speaker 1: question how much did you enjoy the Winter Olympics the
- 15:18Speaker 1: twenty twenty six Milan Courtina Winter Olympic Games on the
- 15:24Speaker 1: Malord scale of enjoyment one to ten, with ten being
- 15:28Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm gonna missed this so much. Oh
- 15:31Speaker 1: my god, got it, got this, I need more of this.
- 15:35Speaker 1: I'm at a five, meaning I can take it or
- 15:37Speaker 1: leave it. I'm at a five. This is not rebuy
- 15:42Speaker 1: sports and it's all It's like plant based pageantries. It's
- 15:48Speaker 1: beyond meat for vegan sports fans. The Olympics. And I'm
- 15:53Speaker 1: more into the whole meat and potatoes thing. That's more
- 15:56Speaker 1: my jam than this kind of stuff here, football, ball, basketball,
- 16:01Speaker 1: those kind of things. The winner Olympics. I look at it.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I try to explain this to my wife. This is
- 16:06Speaker 1: like it's like peas and carrots, you know, steamed up
- 16:10Speaker 1: and all that, and some people love peas and carrots
- 16:12Speaker 1: seem very nicely. My presentation was grat thought NBC did
- 16:15Speaker 1: a pretty good job. There were some people in there
- 16:17Speaker 1: that annoyed me, but for the most part, I thought
- 16:18Speaker 1: they did a good job. And it something that looks
- 16:21Speaker 1: good on the plate. You look at you, that's pretty good.
- 16:25Speaker 1: You know. If you're into that kind of thing, you're like, oh,
- 16:27Speaker 1: it's great. I liked, but it's not my stake. I
- 16:30Speaker 1: need I need my I need where's the beef. We've
- 16:33Speaker 1: got the meats. Well they didn't have the meats. So
- 16:36Speaker 1: it's sports, you know, it's sports for non sports fans. Hey,
- 16:42Speaker 1: I was watching. I watched a lot of it. My
- 16:45Speaker 1: wife generally does not want to watch a football game
- 16:47Speaker 1: or a basketball I watched that stuff all myself. She's
- 16:49Speaker 1: not into that, doesn't have the sports gene, wasn't born
- 16:53Speaker 1: with it. I have it. I got too much of it.
- 16:56Speaker 1: I do this stupid show every night and a dumb
- 16:58Speaker 1: podcast on the weak. I'm very in it. So as
- 17:02Speaker 1: shins fids like, it's it's sports for people that don't
- 17:06Speaker 1: like sports, like I said, it's like it's beyond meat
- 17:07Speaker 1: for people that don't like meat but want to pretend
- 17:09Speaker 1: like they're eating meat, which is always amazing to me.
- 17:12Speaker 1: And and so watching my wife break down the Nordic
- 17:15Speaker 1: combined like she's mel Kiper, I was like, wow, you're
- 17:19Speaker 1: really into this. I'm like, that is that is great?
- 17:21Speaker 1: You know, I can sit there and watch alpine skiing.
- 17:25Speaker 1: And I enjoyed the bops lid the luge. I think
- 17:28Speaker 1: those are kind of cool, fine curling, you know, just
- 17:32Speaker 1: brooming ice. Watch that. Watched a bunch of that this
- 17:35Speaker 1: week and was I locked in. I was playing on
- 17:39Speaker 1: my phone and I'd look up to see when they
- 17:41Speaker 1: got down to the finish and all that stuff. So
- 17:44Speaker 1: it's like a two week sports pop up shop. The Olympics.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Get the flags over here, you get the dramatic violin music,
- 17:53Speaker 1: you got Snoop Dog. How much did Martha Stewart get paid?
- 17:56Speaker 1: I know Snoop's getting like five hundred thousand dollars a day.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Did Martha get a same deal? Mar Snoop dragged Martha
- 18:03Speaker 1: Stewart out there to drive around Italy. What a great
- 18:06Speaker 1: gig guy is? All right, So let's let's go.
- 18:07Speaker 4: Now.
- 18:08Speaker 1: The bad part is the cameras are gonna fall us around.
- 18:09Speaker 1: We're gonna go to all these famous places in Italy
- 18:13Speaker 1: and eat these expensive meals and get paid five hundred
- 18:15Speaker 1: thousand dollars a day, and they'll put it on TV. Okay,
- 18:19Speaker 1: sounds terrible, sounds absolutely terrible. So there you go. It's
- 18:24Speaker 1: all over. Now, it's all done. Now we go back
- 18:27Speaker 1: to ignoring all of these sports except hockey only when
- 18:30Speaker 1: the playoffs come around until twenty thirty. And then in
- 18:33Speaker 1: twenty thirty we're all gonna sit there and be oh man,
- 18:35Speaker 1: this is so great. It is awesome. It is the

- 21:26Speaker 1: right since says eight plus on the opening Mallard monologue,
- 21:29Speaker 1: I'll throw a gold medal in there for you two.
- 21:32Speaker 1: I absolutely love watching that. I love watching that hockey
- 21:35Speaker 1: game this morning. Being from Southern Canada, there really hasn't
- 21:40Speaker 1: been much to cheer about in Minnesota lately, he points out,
- 21:44Speaker 1: So it was nice to wear a USA onesie proudly
- 21:48Speaker 1: from Andy. God you enjoy that. Natron rites in from
- 21:55Speaker 1: northern California, a regular at the Mallard Meet and Greet
- 21:58Speaker 1: in Vegas, and drag his lady with him there all
- 22:01Speaker 1: the way down to Vegas. Natron says, why watch the
- 22:05Speaker 1: Olympics when you can rewatch Game seven of the World
- 22:08Speaker 1: Series The Giants and the Royals in twenty fourteen. He so,
- 22:13Speaker 1: I was at twenty fourteen or twenty fifteen anyway, say
- 22:15Speaker 1: a Madison Bumgardner, just a stud setting the table way
- 22:18Speaker 1: before Yakamoto was allowed to sit at the adults table.
- 22:24Speaker 1: So there is that. Let's see here. Rebecca, the RAM
- 22:30Speaker 1: fan checked in. She's listening. Eileen in San Francisco is
- 22:33Speaker 1: up as well. Femi says, so, Ben, did you and
- 22:37Speaker 1: missus Mallor use her knowledge to win any money betting
- 22:40Speaker 1: on the Olympics. No, did not make a single wager.
- 22:44Speaker 1: That's a good idea. I should have done that, Femi.
- 22:46Speaker 1: I should have done that. My wife was surprised when
- 22:49Speaker 1: I told her that most of the broadcasters for NBC
- 22:52Speaker 1: were not actually in Italy. They were in a studio
- 22:56Speaker 1: in Stanford, Connecticut. They were not there. That's an odd location.
- 23:00Speaker 1: That's where their hub is in Stanford, Connecticut. And so
- 23:02Speaker 1: they they sounded like they were there, but they never
- 23:05Speaker 1: The only ones that were there. They showed that us
- 23:07Speaker 1: from Sideline reporters. My buddy Jay hates Sideline reporters. He
- 23:11Speaker 1: can't stand him. He'd said the dumbest questions asked ever
- 23:14Speaker 1: Sideline reporters at the Olympics. But so they were there,
- 23:17Speaker 1: but the actual play by play people were not there.
- 23:21Speaker 1: They were watching on a monitor in a studio in Connecticut.
- 23:24Speaker 1: And I thought they did a really good job considering
- 23:26Speaker 1: they weren't actually there. They weren't part of the actual event.
- 23:29Speaker 1: They were just watching it on TV like we were.
- 23:32Speaker 1: Ferg Dog says after getting up early to watch the
- 23:34Speaker 1: big hockey game. I've only got one thing to say
- 23:36Speaker 1: to you, Ben, Usa, Usa, Usa. Okay, Michael says Ben.
- 23:41Speaker 1: I loved the line that the Olympics are like beyond
- 23:44Speaker 1: meat for vegans. Too bad, Moxie wasn't fed beyond meat
- 23:48Speaker 1: instead of pumpkin with don't mind, by the way, told
- 23:50Speaker 1: the story that's only on the podcast The Fifth Hour
- 23:53Speaker 1: podcast that the dog. My wife just said that the
- 23:57Speaker 1: dog needed to be healthier, and she read online that
- 24:00Speaker 1: you need to feed the dog pumpkin, that that will
- 24:03Speaker 1: help the dog live a longer life. Pumpkin, Yeah, like
- 24:06Speaker 1: can pumpkin or just straight up pumpin Yeah. Yeah. So
- 24:09Speaker 1: she went out and bought some pumpkin and some made
- 24:11Speaker 1: some home food for the dog, and then the dog
- 24:14Speaker 1: rewarded us with giving the dog healthy food with something
- 24:19Speaker 1: that you just go listen to the podcast you want
- 24:23Speaker 1: to hear what happened. It was quite the scene. It
- 24:25Speaker 1: was quite this. It's a smell that I will not forget.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Someday I'll be on my deathbed if I'm lucky, i
- 24:32Speaker 1: live a long life, and I'll I'll think about that
- 24:35Speaker 1: smell as I'm checking out of this world. I'll be like, wow,
- 24:38Speaker 1: remember that smell? All right, Michael says. I'm proud to
- 24:43Speaker 1: say I have not watched one second of it. Do
- 24:47Speaker 1: you have any audio of Kenny Albert's final call of
- 24:51Speaker 1: the game winning go? I don't know do we have.
- 24:53Speaker 1: I assume, I don't know if they have any editors
- 24:55Speaker 1: left do We already doubt it, but we'll check. It
- 24:57Speaker 1: seems like there's not many people back there when I
- 24:59Speaker 1: come in anymore. All right, let's let's see what we'll see.
- 25:02Speaker 1: We have it and we'll play. If we have it,
- 25:03Speaker 1: it's a game winning call. This is the Kenny Albert Olympics. Here,
- 25:08Speaker 1: this is his he's the star, he's the rock star.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Kenny Albert. Best play it now? I even't played again?
- 25:15Speaker 1: Who cares hit that button? Right there? Here we go
- 25:17Speaker 1: the I don't have it, all right, we'll find the button,
- 25:20Speaker 1: then we'll hit the button. Yeah, late night, Dructes says.
- 25:23Speaker 1: I'm sure all Winnipeg Jets fans are wondering where that
- 25:27Speaker 1: Connor Hellibuck was during all the past Stanley Cup playoff failures. Yeah,
- 25:33Speaker 1: it's a fair point. All right, here's what it sounded like.
- 25:35Speaker 1: This is the hero, the play the call, Kenny Albert, NBC.
- 25:39Speaker 1: This is how you call a game winner. Stay for
- 25:44Speaker 1: numbers of cups, witch the United States, the crowds in
- 26:00Speaker 1: the United States. Yeah, I did feel bad if you
- 26:06Speaker 1: saw the game behind the Canadian bench. There were a
- 26:08Speaker 1: lot of dudes with Canadian flags that were right there,
- 26:11Speaker 1: and I that's a tough walk of shame out of
- 26:13Speaker 1: the arena, right, that's a tough that's a tough walk.
- 26:16Speaker 5: I think of the fans that travel to go and
- 26:17Speaker 5: watch these events, right yeah, well.
- 26:19Speaker 1: At least you get some good pasta there in Italy
- 26:21Speaker 1: though it's you know, I could enjoy the culture a
- 26:23Speaker 1: little bit. But yeah, that's a tough one that you're
- 26:26Speaker 1: all you're all dauled up. Yeah, you're there for your
- 26:30Speaker 1: team and they lose and you got to walk out
- 26:33Speaker 1: of that arena covered in your team gear, you got
- 26:35Speaker 1: your flags, all that stuff. They still got the silver metal,
- 26:38Speaker 1: I understand. Anyway, let's go to the phones and we
- 26:42Speaker 1: start out. We go to Canada right now, boots, we
- 26:45Speaker 1: got boots on the ground, and we go to Paul
- 26:47Speaker 1: in Ottawa, Pulse of the people, Paul in Ottawa, Hello, Paul, Welcome. Yeah.
- 26:53Speaker 4: I just wanted to tip my hat to you guys,
- 26:56Speaker 4: to the Americans on on the gold medal. And I
- 27:01Speaker 4: think that when Canada plays the US best on best,
- 27:05Speaker 4: it's the best rivalry in sport. And going back thirty years,
- 27:10Speaker 4: the US one in ninety six, we won in two
- 27:13Speaker 4: and ten, and now you've won in twenty six. And
- 27:17Speaker 4: I'm an NFL guy. When I've called you in the
- 27:19Speaker 4: past it's beat about the NFL. But the game was
- 27:24Speaker 4: so good, so exciting, that it left the NFL in
- 27:28Speaker 4: the dust as far as I'm concerned. And part of
- 27:30Speaker 4: it is because it's a rare thing, the Canada US
- 27:35Speaker 4: best on best, but it is really the way I
- 27:39Speaker 4: look at it is the US one and that's I
- 27:44Speaker 4: think three on three as a joke, But those were
- 27:46Speaker 4: the rules.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you brought that up because that is
- 27:49Speaker 1: exactly where I was going. You must be reading my mind.
- 27:52Speaker 1: You must be reading my mind. So John Cooper, the
- 27:56Speaker 1: coach for Team Canada, he went on a rant postgame
- 28:00Speaker 1: and he blamed the overtime rules for Canada's loss. He says,
- 28:04Speaker 1: you take four players off the eyes. Now hockey's not
- 28:07Speaker 1: hockey anymore. There's a reason overtime and shootouts are in play.
- 28:11Speaker 1: It's all TV driven to end games. So it's not
- 28:15Speaker 1: a long time. The coach said, there's a reason why
- 28:18Speaker 1: it's not in the Stanley Cup final or the playoffs.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Close quote he said, now hockey's not hockey anymore. That
- 28:25Speaker 1: was the headline quote there, Paul. But everyone knew going in, right,
- 28:29Speaker 1: everyone knew going in this was going to be the
- 28:31Speaker 1: way it was exactly, So it's not like it was
- 28:33Speaker 1: a surprise.
- 28:35Speaker 4: I think that's the thing. And one of the things
- 28:37Speaker 4: that I find about the NFL is that I just
- 28:40Speaker 4: like if it's a good close game, and so this
- 28:43Speaker 4: was a good close game. And the way I look
- 28:45Speaker 4: at it is that Canada gave me three really exciting
- 28:49Speaker 4: games of the Semis the quarters to Semis in the finals,
- 28:54Speaker 4: and that's got to be enough for me. You know,
- 28:57Speaker 4: It's okay, And now I've got ties to the US historically,
- 29:00Speaker 4: and so I'm I'm really happy for you that you won.
- 29:04Speaker 4: And I, as I say, I think the rivalry is
- 29:09Speaker 4: just so good. It's even better than the old Canada
- 29:11Speaker 4: Russia rivalry. It's kind of surpassed that now, I think.
- 29:16Speaker 4: And the speed and the Connor Hallibert standing on his
- 29:22Speaker 4: head net to win that game. You've got to be
- 29:25Speaker 4: impressed with that.
- 29:26Speaker 1: Yeah, now, I got you. All right, Well, Paul, call
- 29:28Speaker 1: me more often, buddy. We love when you check in.
- 29:30Speaker 1: But thank you the great Paul from Ottawa there giving
- 29:33Speaker 1: us the inside skin. Let's say hello to angry Bill.
- 29:37Speaker 1: I'm sure he's very upset about the outcome of the Olympics. Hello,
- 29:41Speaker 1: Angry Bill.
- 29:43Speaker 3: Several things, mister mahlor. First thing they'd say, you were saying,
- 29:50Speaker 3: whoever is not the better team doesn't win. I don't
- 29:52Speaker 3: know what they're talking about. You got more runs, more points,
- 29:56Speaker 3: you're the better team. So whatever whoever said.
- 29:58Speaker 1: That saying her mind, well, that would be give you
- 30:02Speaker 1: a name on that you were not paying attention. That's
- 30:04Speaker 1: a bad job by you. That would be none other
- 30:07Speaker 1: than Nathan McKinnon who implied that the lesser team one.
- 30:12Speaker 3: If I hadn't like that, I wouldn't tell anybody that's
- 30:17Speaker 3: your dog is ugly stuff that cooped down. Let me
- 30:20Speaker 3: tell you, well.
- 30:22Speaker 1: I had to get an ugly dog because you were
- 30:23Speaker 1: harassing my previous dog, Bella. So I had to get
- 30:26Speaker 1: a dog that you were not attracted to because you
- 30:28Speaker 1: were attracted to Bella, my previous dog. So I said,
- 30:31Speaker 1: what's the ugliest dog I can get? So Angry Bill
- 30:34Speaker 1: leaves my dog alone, and I've got that dog. That
- 30:41Speaker 1: dog is beautiful. That dog is a gift from the
- 30:44Speaker 1: dog heaven. High Angry Bill, it's nice to hear your voice.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Don't suck up the angry Bill, No, please, no, this
- 30:54Speaker 1: is all for It's all his stick.
- 30:56Speaker 3: It's your stick, your gay little Dodgers never won the
- 31:00Speaker 3: World Series if they had have kept playing small ball
- 31:04Speaker 3: and he knew how to run. The basest was shot by?
- 31:08Speaker 1: Which which one of the World Series where they have lost?
- 31:10Speaker 1: And they won so many it's hard to keep track here?
- 31:12Speaker 1: Which one Yankees? Do you remember when the Yankees last
- 31:16Speaker 1: won the World Series? Because it was I barely remember it.
- 31:19Speaker 1: I don't even know what the world was like when
- 31:20Speaker 1: they last won the world says almost twenty years. Almost
- 31:24Speaker 1: twenty years for the Yankees. Embarrassing.
- 31:26Speaker 3: Let me tell you about sixty six years ago, if
- 31:29Speaker 3: Ralph Kerry hadn't hung up slider than that little punk Masarowski,
- 31:33Speaker 3: the Yankees would have won that World Series. You don't
- 31:36Speaker 3: hang a curve, so.
- 31:37Speaker 1: You've chosen the weekend that Bill Mazarowski died to pile
- 31:41Speaker 1: on Bill Mazarowski? Is that correct?
- 31:44Speaker 3: Punk?
- 31:45Speaker 1: Yeah, you're still bitter. I love that. I love the
- 31:52Speaker 1: years so bitter. I love that. I love that you
- 31:55Speaker 1: held that grudge that makes my heart just flutter. I
- 31:58Speaker 1: just love it.
- 31:59Speaker 3: I want to know if Ralph Kerry was a gambler,
- 32:02Speaker 3: because let me tell you, he was under the pictures
- 32:04Speaker 3: on you having a curve ball to that soft little
- 32:07Speaker 3: punk measure.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Wow, unbelievable, so vicious. It's so vicious. That's why you're
- 32:16Speaker 1: called anger. Go away, there's angry Bill, very angry, annoying.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Let's go to Andre in the Commonwealth. He's back. Well, no,
- 32:26Speaker 1: the blizzard's going on, so I guess you got some
- 32:28Speaker 1: extra time here. There's no no school because of the blizzard,
- 32:31Speaker 1: right Andre? Am I correct?
- 32:32Speaker 2: On?
- 32:32Speaker 6: There you correct a mondo bet. Thanks for taking the call.
- 32:38Speaker 1: You know.
- 32:38Speaker 6: Me and Willis we're hunker down here.
- 32:40Speaker 3: Uh come in?
- 32:42Speaker 1: Are you having a bunker party? Are a blizzard party
- 32:44Speaker 1: in the bunker? Are you celebrating?
- 32:47Speaker 6: Wills and I we're celebrating, you know in the hard
- 32:50Speaker 6: working folks out there plowing. I don't know what kind
- 32:53Speaker 6: of celebration they're doing.
- 32:54Speaker 1: And I want to ann ask right now, everyone driving
- 32:57Speaker 1: a snowplow if you can can, I'm trying to talk
- 33:00Speaker 1: here Willis. Everyone driving a snowplow. And some of the
- 33:04Speaker 1: guys were emailing me said, I get to listen to
- 33:05Speaker 1: you show tonight because I'm driving snow instinct golden ticket
- 33:08Speaker 1: if you're driving a snowplow, but you have to be
- 33:10Speaker 1: able to prove that you're driving a snowplow. So I
- 33:12Speaker 1: don't know how you can prove that, but if you can,
- 33:14Speaker 1: you'll get in.
- 33:15Speaker 6: The background, you know, the grating sound as a pushing
- 33:17Speaker 6: the snow.
- 33:18Speaker 1: You know. I hear your dog in the background too,
- 33:20Speaker 1: But I'm not completely convinced it's real. Oh it's a real.
- 33:22Speaker 4: Come on?
- 33:23Speaker 1: How dare you? Who would make up a base sing
- 33:25Speaker 1: in action for a long time? The dog was sleeping
- 33:28Speaker 1: for all time.
- 33:31Speaker 6: Buddy's back right now, and this.
- 33:32Speaker 1: Would be one of the great cons If that was
- 33:34Speaker 1: a fake dog, that would be an amazing con. If
- 33:37Speaker 1: that was a fake dog, that would be.
- 33:39Speaker 3: One I know.
- 33:41Speaker 6: But unfortunately there's been verification via social media, and Willis
- 33:44Speaker 6: is locked in right now. He's quiet for the time being.
- 33:47Speaker 6: You got some snacker Rudy's, but he'll he'll turn up
- 33:50Speaker 6: based on these the condicts continuing, uh, questioning of his
- 33:54Speaker 6: reality as the the dog of the mal in militia
- 33:57Speaker 6: as far as far as we're concerned in the commons.
- 33:59Speaker 6: But uh, your your your carrots, your broccoli, your asparagus.
- 34:04Speaker 6: It's necessary, okay, And so I understand what you're saying
- 34:07Speaker 6: about the winter Olympics, and you know it may not
- 34:09Speaker 6: be football, baseball, but these are top athletes.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Well they couldn't.
- 34:13Speaker 6: I can't have any shades. I can't have any shade wa.
- 34:18Speaker 1: But I was watching I was watching some of this stuff,
- 34:20Speaker 1: and I was like, how many people in the world
- 34:22Speaker 1: one of the top athletes, But how many people are
- 34:24Speaker 1: doing the louve? You know what I mean? How what's
- 34:28Speaker 1: a percentage of people that say, let me get into
- 34:30Speaker 1: the louver? That's what I want to get into.
- 34:33Speaker 6: I understand. The only reason I went out there on
- 34:36Speaker 6: skates is because Rocky told me, And you know what
- 34:38Speaker 6: I mean, if if they're gonna meet an Asian and
- 34:40Speaker 6: you gotta you gotta be able to go out there
- 34:41Speaker 6: and do some skating, right. So that's the only reason
- 34:43Speaker 6: I participate in somebody's winter sports. It's based on the
- 34:46Speaker 6: encouragement that I received from some of these classic movies.
- 34:48Speaker 6: I've never been, you know, down He'll swallowm and the
- 34:51Speaker 6: Louse and you know what I mean. I know Jamaica
- 34:52Speaker 6: had a botch.
- 34:53Speaker 1: That team, but no, that was great John Candy, one
- 34:55Speaker 1: of the all time greats legend Like that wasn't just
- 34:57Speaker 1: a movie. No, I was a real story. It was
- 34:59Speaker 1: a documentary. Yeah, well run into the documentary.
- 35:02Speaker 6: We got we gotta give, we got to get from.
- 35:05Speaker 6: I can't even pronounce the gentleman's name. I believe he's
- 35:07Speaker 6: from Norway. Uh, from Norway.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Uh.
- 35:09Speaker 6: That they was doing the uh, the cross country scheme.
- 35:13Speaker 6: They're out there running around in skis for over two hours.
- 35:16Speaker 1: You know, that's another one. How many people like, let
- 35:18Speaker 1: me do cross country skiing? You know who's signing up
- 35:21Speaker 1: for that? To be absolutely psychotic? But there are people
- 35:25Speaker 1: that do it, But there's not a lot of people.
- 35:26Speaker 1: That's my point. There's not a lot of people that
- 35:28Speaker 1: are like, that's gonna be my sport, and you know,
- 35:32Speaker 1: good for them, thinking they're great at it. But most
- 35:34Speaker 1: people are like, nah, I'm good. Uh you know, wait,
- 35:37Speaker 1: I go out in the woods, it's snowing, and I
- 35:39Speaker 1: go walk for miles and come on, these guys are.
- 35:44Speaker 6: Making some good anyway. So I say that even though
- 35:46Speaker 6: I'm more inclined, and there's Willis again for people quick
- 35:49Speaker 6: the validity of his existence. Myself and Willis, we are
- 35:53Speaker 6: all in on the Winter Olympics might not be our
- 35:55Speaker 6: cup of tea, but our folks in the Nordic countries.
- 35:57Speaker 6: We appreciate you, and Ben what are you doing here?
- 36:00Speaker 6: The women? The men bringing hold home gold medals? Okay,
- 36:04Speaker 6: both of these teams. Al right, you might as well
