It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Built Ford Tough studio on the Fan and CBS Sports Network on this feel-good Friday. Probably get some calls in a little bit later in the hour. And if you call, that's 888-808-1019. It's the Red Pocket Mobile fan line brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. But who's on the line right now? Here are two guys excited to talk about Miracle, the Boys of 80 Netflix documentary about the miracle on ice, one of the greatest American sports moments of all time. And we've got the captain of that team, Mike Aruzioni, and also filmmaker and boomer buddy, Mark Chardy. Guys, good morning. How are you?
Good morning.
Good morning, guys.
How are you guys doing? We're doing great, Mike. It's always great to talk to you. And, Mark, of course, you too as well. And, Mark, you put me in the game plan. And, of course, that shot right up to the top of the chart. So I'm expecting that the same is going to happen here with this story. It's an amazing story for those people who don't really remember the 1980 miracle on ice, which is what it was. Now, this particular documentary, Mark, is a little bit different than that. It tells more stories about the guys, talks about the geopolitical times around that time and how – We as a country rallied around the 1980 hockey team because this amazing, amazing performance against the Soviets.
Yeah, it was it was so fun.
What is the new Netflix documentary about the Miracle on Ice?
Twenty something years ago doing the film. And obviously that's an adaptation. This was a documentary. This is in the guy's own words, bringing them back to Lake Placid, telling their stories. and and just hearing them talk about it and and showing you know ioc footage had never been seen before so you got a really just a different look of that same story uh and and mike of course was was amazing and he's the captain and the same dynamic uh from 45 years ago exists and it was great getting the guys back together and boomer hope you have your sag card still so
I do. I'm actually still getting checks. I appreciate that. You know, Mike Arruzzione, I got to tell you, I got the chance the last couple of years to go play a hockey tournament myself up in Lake Placid and play in the building where you won that game. I couldn't believe how small the building was, first and foremost. I was probably in the same locker room as you, by the way, because they have not improved the locker room situation there, I can tell you that. But, you know, I know you personally, we've done a lot of different things together over the years. Why is this different from all the other things that we have seen when it comes to your guys' accomplishment?
Well, I think Mark touched on it. I mean, you can hear some stories, you know, that how we ended up there, how we grew up. Kenny Morrow's got a great story about his dad and You know, kind of behind the scenes that people don't know. You know, you watch us play a game, but how did you get here? You know, how did I end up on an Olympic team? How did Kenny Morrow end up on an Olympic team? The sacrifices that our families and friends made to give us that opportunity. I think you're going to hear a lot of that. And then, like you said, some footage that people haven't seen before as well.
You're one of the few people in the world that can watch themselves be played by an actor and then also watch themselves talk about a moment in their life. What is the difference when you're watching Miracle the movie and someone playing you and then going back and reliving this and being in this documentary with all the real people in it?
Well, I think when someone's playing you, you go, wait a minute, I was better than him. LAUGHTER It's more interesting, I think, when my kids watch it. You know, somebody playing their father was kind of strange for them. Did you really do that? Did you really say that, that all these things happened? So it's kind of strange in that regard. Now, this is different because this is us telling the story.
