Bill and Dan remember the Miracle on Ice 44 years ago. Bill thinks this country needs a positive unifying moment like the Miracle on Ice today! Bill said he there are prank videos, like the invisible pranks that make him laugh, you can see some of them on the Billified (@Billified) YouTube page. However, a prank in Australia has gone viral. A school boy poured a bottle of Milk off a brindge onto an open boat with three young women celebrating a brithday below. The boy has been expelled from his expensive private school as a result. Bill is o.k. with this, Dan is not and Dan reminds Bill of a "prank" he was part of in his highschool! Should Bill have been expelled?! Bill reads a Rochester Reddit post from an RIT alum who is looking for a place to stay or camp for the eclipse, will you let him camp on your property? Texts asking for relationship advice remind Bill of an old story and how somone tried to help him out! Are you familiar with the 'What's Your Roman Empire' memes? Bill and Dan explain what it is and ask What is Your Roman Empire? Dan's answer makes Bill think Dan has unfinished business in radio and for Bill, it's this! What is Your Roman Empire? Enjoy!

More than 40 years ago, a bunch of college kids from the USA squared off on a sheet of ice in Lake Placid, NY at the 1980 Winter Olympics against a heavily-favored Soviet Union squad.

These two teams played an exhibition just a month earlier that ended in a 10-3 Soviet victory so many didn't give the Americans a chance. But this game that would turn out to be arguably the most important sporting event of the 20th century.

• The dominance of the Soviets leading up to this matchup
• Al Michaels and his iconic performance behind the mic
• The final round format for medals
• Periods or quarters?
• Jim Craig is a beast
• Why did the USSR coach bench his all-world goalie? 
• Ticket prices for the big game
• The strange Olympic hockey format that has led to a lot of confusion over the years
• Herb Brooks
• Why the game was tape-delayed 

We'll talk this and much more on the show. If you want to see it as it aired on ABC that night in 1980, check out our website here: https://distantreplaypodcast.com/ep-66-1980-olympic-hockey-team-usa-vs-soviet-union/ 

It's our last episode of Olympic Fever (but don't worry, we're not going anywhere--we're just changing our name)!

This week, we're having a Movie Club meeting, so that means a visit from Film Buff Fran. Fran joins us to discuss "Miracle," the story of the 1980 US men's ice hockey team, also known as the "Miracle on Ice."

Does this Corona virus have you a little nervous or beyond? COVID-19 got you down? I get it. It's totally natural to feel that way, but you won't after you listen to this episode. COVID-19...you don't win. We do! We will be better after facing you and we will triumph! I know many are talking about this pandemic, and many are tired of hearing about it. Maybe that's because of how a lot of it is being talked about. Let's try something different. Let's do it from a Happy perspective. Is that way even possible??? You better believe it!
