They're interviewing them and they go really into like certain guys lives, like their upbringings, like Ken Morrow's dad had passed away and he talks about him.
He gets very emotional.
Jim Craig's mom had passed away pretty close to when they named the Olympic team.
And they talk about his relationship with his dad, how his dad was a broken man.
And this entire Olympic experience kind of like brought joy back to his life.
And
They discuss Herb Brooks, and the coolest part about it, I don't want to say the most sad part, but it was a little, that the guys just say they wish they had gotten to know him a little bit.
He was such, you know, they mentioned a couple guys, and he was just a prick to play for, and he made it like us versus them.
And we talked to Jack O'Callaghan, and we're going to be throwing it to him in a second here.
But the guys were like, we never really got to know him.
It was funny.
I was with my dad when I got home.
He stayed over.
We were watching it.
And he mentioned he met Herb Brooks.
We played in the under-18 Five Nations in Salt Lake City the year before the 2002 Olympics.
Kind of one of those trial things they do.
And Herb Brooks was there.
So my dad got the chance to meet him and talk to him.
And he was saying, like, the coaches didn't get gold medals.
