Chapter 1: What are the highlights of the USA's gold medal win in hockey?
I listened to your boy Gordon Damer a lot this weekend. Did you? Yeah, he was talking about bomb cyclones and things like that. I was going to call in and say, hey, would you mind just staying until Tuesday? And just stay on the air for 48 hours. But interesting, he had an interesting take on our brand ambassador, who is no longer called the program director.
I guess Gordon is kind of still in the past. Okay. And he doesn't understand that Ryan Hurley is now our brand ambassador. Gotcha. He said that when he sees Cade Cunningham, he sees Ryan Hurley. He was combining the two and saying, do you see anything about Ryan Hurley? I don't. Do you? Physically?
Chapter 2: How do fans react to patriotic displays during sports events?
He said, for some reason, there's this thing about Cade Cunningham that reminds him of Ryan Hurley, our brand ambassador.
No. I mean, I see Spike Eskett and Landry Schammett. That's one I've mentioned before. I don't know how a... How anybody could see that between Hurley and Cade Cunningham. That's a weird one.
It is a weird one.
By the way, I've never met Gordon. I haven't either.
But he's pretty funny.
Yeah, no, he was funny. He had a line that made me laugh the other day. Turns out what's holding hockey back is the NHL. Which is, I guess, kind of true, right?

Chapter 3: What unique marketing strategy did Jimmy's Seafood implement for the hockey teams?
I mean, we all love this. I mean, how is the NHL holding it back? I don't understand. Well, I mean, because more people care about, like, people loved watching the Olympic hockey.
Oh, because there's a real patriotic tie to it.
Well, yeah, no, of course. But they loved watching the game, too.
So much so that a place called Jimmy's Seafood down in Baltimore... offered both the men's and women's team crab cakes for life for free. And both whether they go to the restaurant and eat or whether they order out. They are all on board for free crab cakes. So then, of course, everybody who is supporting the hockey team and is now getting on board with Jimmy's famous seafood down there.
And then out comes HuffPost. Yeah. With an ex-post that says, and I'm paraphrasing here, to the point where like, are you tired of seeing the flag waved and USA, USA being chanted?

Chapter 4: What criticisms do fans have about the NHL's impact on hockey popularity?
You're not alone. Oh, my God. And Jimmy's Seafood reposted that and told them to go F off. Nice.
Nice.
There you go. There you go, Jim. Yeah, I'm telling you. So they've got to get up to a million followers, and I guarantee you that they are selling crab cakes by the bushel right now.
Oh, yeah. Without a doubt. Great marketing, and sounds like it's been pretty successful.
I think they wanted to do something just kind of innocent and say thank you to both the women's and men's teams for the way they respected – the uniform and know that the entire country was behind them and the way that they reacted. So they wanted to do something nice for them, and then all of a sudden this thing came out from HuffPost.

Chapter 5: How do Olympic hockey games differ from regular NHL games in terms of viewership?
Yeah, and they saw another opportunity there. Squash spot. Yes. Let's go to Richie in Queens. What's up, Richie? Good morning.
Hey, boys, how are you?
Sorry, Rich, what's happening?
Hey, boom, I was watching that game with my wife. You know, look, in all the years I'm calling, very seldom we touch on hockey, but I do get into the playoffs. I think it's phenomenal. And to watch that, my wife said, boy, this is really exciting. She was screaming like a banshee.
I mean, and the fact that they also use what he said at the end of the game, and anybody that can argue that and have an issue with him for playing for his country and what it meant, And I believe and I feel that way about all the athletes.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the HuffPost article on national pride in sports?
I think what they dedicate and how they their whole lives, whether it's the most meaningless kind of sport that people don't get into. But to them, it's life and death. I think it's phenomenal. I have no issue. You know, I was thinking when when Eddie Anson, the phone. You know, I'm calling 38 years. He's one of the most polite guys. You feel like you're in a restaurant.
You feel like the major D is taking you one on one. He is so easy and affable to talk to. And I've dealt with a lot of the gruff people. And I've said, guys, you are the link that gets us to the show. So we kind of feel a little uncomfortable, especially in the beginning when I called. And Eddie has always been a light, you know, so it was just great to hear his voice.
Yeah, you know, Richie, I feel the same way.
Chapter 7: What personal anecdotes do callers share about watching the gold medal game?
He's got that calming voice about him. He could be nasty, Eddie, at times, and we've seen that. But most of the time, he's a very calming influence.
And I actually said, I said yesterday, I was like, man, you know, the silver lining in the fact that we're getting pounded here by two blizzards this winter and I had to come in and stay in the city is that I got two snow days with Eddie in the year that he's going to retire. So, I mean, we had one for years.
So the fact we had this, you know, one-on-one time these last two snowstorms has been tremendous. But, yeah, I mean, he's interested.
very rare that you feel like someone's actually interested in what you're saying yeah face to face these days and eddie 100 like he's you know he was asking questions about the the um genesis open yesterday at the at the year end so where's this plate and this tournament is this is this one of these elevated events and then you have oh okay riviera yes so is that was that because the fires last year and they were able to come back like yeah that's right yeah yeah good job
And where's Akshay Bhatia in this mix, the Slim Reaper? Is he playing well? Is he not playing well?
You know what? You may end up getting sick of him.
No, no, no.
If the questions keep coming.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude regarding the future of USA hockey and its culture?
No. No, because he knows. He knows. Like, I'll answer any question about golf. Yes. He knows to go there. But no, I can't get sick of Eddie. It's impossible to get sick of Eddie. You know, we're having a blast. And I'm hoping we hang out more today. Let's go to Mike, who's up in Vermont. What's going on, Mike?
Hey, thank you very much. And I'd just like to echo what that caller just said. Eddie was so pleasant compared to that commie soy boy that you're seeing.
First of all, he's not a commie.
He's a soy boy. He's a soy boy, but he's not a commie. He's not a commie. Don't get me going on him. Anyway, two quick questions, if I would. Come on, please. Boomer, Boomer. Boomer, I didn't know this. I've been watching the Olympics since 1968 in Mexico City. I was 16 years old back then. But anyway, I did not realize that a coach does not get a medal if a team wins a medal.
The coach does not get a medal.
Yeah, they don't get a medal. You know, I don't know if the U.S. Olympic Committee would give them something to be remembered. Maybe a photo of the team photo when everybody gets involved. Maybe they get a nice framed team photo, something like that. I'm sure they get something. They get a stuffed animal.
One other point, if I could. I didn't realize either, and maybe, Boomer, you can fact check me on this or let me know for sure. Who was the woman's coach? Do you know?
It's a guy. I forget his name.
No, no. Maybe the head coach. But one of the coaches, I was told, or I thought, was Hughes' mother.
