Let's go to Dave and Charlotte. What's up, Dave? Hey, what's up, fellas? How are we doing?

We're good, man. Good man. What's on your mom? I want to talk to Olympus with a real quick, Tiki, big fan. I went to the only Super Bowl we lost, of course, and of course. But back then, ticket price, I'd take $300 to sit 50-yard line first lower bowl in the Ravens family section. You believe that? oh wow wow yeah that means they didn't travel or they thought that it was going to be all giant fans because

it was in Tampa very I mean you never get to take it for that price um as far as the Olympics

I'm a huge huge hockey fan I became a hockey fan 1980 when when America beat the Russians

um so I'm invested in it, but Rangers winning a

standing cup means way more to me. But as far as the players, you got to remember, these kids

have been playing since their teenagers in world tournaments against these same players. They

eventually play in the NHL. So it means so much of them. I think people lose sight of that.

That's a great point. That's a great point. Like when we compare it and I in the NHL. So it means so much of them. I think people lose sight of that. It means so much.

That's a great point.

They're a country for so long.

That's a great point. Like when we compare it, and I've tried throughout this show, to baseball, who has the WBC and the Olympics in a few years, or basketball. You're right. Like, as a young hockey player, when you're nine or ten years old and you start playing. Don't you do a lot of these international competition?

So when you hear Jack Hughes say USA hockey, it isn't just something that, you know, he did last week. He's probably been doing it his entire life. The world juniors are an enormous event. No, I totally get it. By the way, that's what I was getting at. We know we had a caller who the girl female who called earlier. That's what, like, you're missing the path that a lot of these kids take to get to the NHL. It's not, hey, I'm going to, I know I got to play for the devils in order to play for the Olympics. It's no, you're part of USA hockey. It's the same thing with soccer. Like, you're part of USA soccer if you're good enough. I think the other part of this though I get it, the players and growing up this

I just don't get why we're supposed to care as fans.

You know what I mean?

Because we love our country.

What do you mean why we're supposed to care? You can care about their path. But, like, I care about so much else with sports. Now I've got to care about their path for the last 20 years in USA hockey,

and that's going to make me feel the connection.

I just, I'm not there.

No, maybe not that part, but the American connection.

It's USA. It's a country.

I think you love our country.
