The guys promised Conan, but when the USA defeats Canada in hockey — 46 years to the day after the 1980 Miracle on Ice — you gotta talk to Al Michaels. Ben, Chris, and Al talk about that incredible victory over the Soviet Union, the importance of sports, and a little bit about vocation. USA, USA, USA!
