You're listening to DraftKings Network. Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started. In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family. And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong. Family owned from the start. Same family, same land. Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo.

The tequila that invented tequila. Go to Cuervo.com to shop tequila or visit a store near you. Cuervo, now's a good time. Trademarks owned by Becler. SAB the CV. Copyright 2024. Proximo. Jersey City, New Jersey. Please drink responsibly. Billy, do you think we should get a head start on inundating our listeners now?

with mls championship talk like getting them prepared i've been trying no one wants to follow my lead on this now we're doing some copa something so mls is second fiddle as as always which it shouldn't be since it's the biggest league in our country but whatevs some copa something i think that's right i don't think that that is made up world cup knockoff world cup world cup zero sugar

There was a WNBA Commissioner's Cup championship last night. We've got to start. We have to start expanding all of the championships, I think, that we're talking about. It requires growth and evolution now because, Lucy, we have arrived at a point in equality now where women are going to be drafted. We've gone too far. Women should not be in war. Men should be in war. Okay.

I think that's accurate. I think that is correct. I think men are the only one who cause war. You can't say that, Dan. Only I can say that. Dan Levitard, Poland. Women are not capable of doing war. Back away, Dan. Dan, I can't believe you're saying it. Louise, Louise.

Or Lewis. Men are the reason there are wars. Exactly. There would not be wars if women were in charge. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Would there be actual wars if women were in charge? I don't believe that that's possible. I don't think women would cause that. You haven't been married long enough. You really haven't.

I could see this Caitlin Clark thing spiraling. Your war is coming. I mean, I promise you. Considering the discourse over the last two weeks of WNBA on-court stuff, I could see this getting out of hand real quick.

What have you guys seen over the last couple of days of celebration, or I guess the last 24 hours of Panthers celebration that has caught your eye? Because I saw Stugatz for sure getting jealous of local radio legend Paul Castronovo. Oh, God. What an underrated radio career, that guy. I mean, Barkov, the captain of the Panthers, is...

You know, Paul is his neighbor. He brought the cup over to Paul's house at four o'clock in the morning. Oh, you're right. I was so jealous. Which is fine for a morning DJ. It is fine. Morning radio will ruin your life. There's no getting used to waking up at that time. Nope. Paul Castronovo has been up at 4 a.m. for way too many years to be sane.

But Barkoff is his neighbor, and I feel like that's the only reason that Stugatz lived in Parkland, so that somebody from the Panthers would show up one day at his golf course and give him the Stanley Cup. I mean, Luongo lives five houses down from me. I mean, Roberto, let's go. Bobby Lou. Bobby Lou. I thought he did the drum very well. He did. I agree. He posted on social media he banged the shit out of that drum. He did.

Did what just happened, did what I think just happened, happen where Mike said Bobby Lou on air? It did, yeah. And Stu Gotts heard Bobby Lou and then repeated it as if Mike was talking to him privately? Are you becoming Cody right in front of me? I was just going to say I felt like Greg Cody, and it didn't feel good.

Greg Cody is riding some kind of high right now. I don't know if you guys have noticed. It's not just because he won, but it's because he got the best thing that he always wants over the last couple of weeks, which is maximum me on the attention. And somebody has written in here, Stu Gatz, and I think they got it exactly right when they say this, because this has to have been a delight for the people in our audience.

Greg Cody swinging the momentum of the finals of a professional American sport is one of the wildest, funniest things I've ever seen in my entire life. It's me, Maximum. I said Maximum me? Yeah, fine. Okay, thank you. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast. Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

The Florida Panthers do got have an amazing opportunity here in front of them, an opportunity that the University of Miami basketball teams kind of squandered in terms of building in South Florida what Tampa has built.

north of here, which is a community somehow in Tampa that cares a great deal more about hockey than it cares about baseball, even though their baseball organization is better than most of the baseball organizations, smarter than most of the baseball organizations. But you have to have

the winning in order to create the memories that trigger generational support. And I was talking to a couple of black friends of mine, Stugatz, who have taken their young children to Panthers games over the last two years. And both of them have said the same thing, which is,

My kid has been hooked since hearing the goal horn followed by people are throwing rats on the ice. Kids not old enough to totally understand everything that they're watching, but are old enough to know what the feeling is when dad is happy and why are there rats raining from the sky? I don't know what your guys' earliest childhood sports memories are.

I remember mine distinctly. I remember the sights, the sounds. I remember the smells you got of the first time I was in the Orange Bowl with truly terrible seats, truly terrible, because the only ones my father could get in an exile home that was filled with fear. And I didn't know that we didn't have money because no one else around us had money. But the only tickets that we could get to anything were the ones that no one else wanted. When the bills stunk and O.J. Simpson was coming to town, all they had was O.J. Simpson.

And so I remember how small my hand felt in my father's as he sort of dragged me through a noise of a place that I didn't even have access to Disney World at that point. So my world was super, super small. And so I'm feeling this feeling of what is this place? What is the energy of this? Why is my father bringing me here? And it's my introduction to sports. I can remember very little else.

from childhood memories of this age, but I do remember that feeling. And the Panthers are in the middle of providing it for a generation. There have been precious few things that felt like that over the last 30 years with this hockey team. The smells you mentioned from the Orange Bowl, those were bad smells, right? Yes. Yeah, okay. Yes, truly terrible smells. Rust must...

Urine, vomit. Stale old beer that has been there from seasons. Imagine a childhood. Imagine a child's confusion as why does a place that smells this bad feel this good? I miss that place so much. I mean, tetanus shots. You'd cut your elbow on something going to that place. You poor kid. I mean...

It is. It's a trauma I carried with me for a long time. One of my favorite things is it could be a sellout packed house. So many people got into that stadium without a ticket during the big games. But in the lower bowl beneath the overhang, there would always be these little pockets.

where no one would be standing. And you would have like a little border, kind of like a little mosh pit. Because urine was spilling down from above. And you did not want this liquid, this mystery smelly liquid coming down on you. Mike, to Dan's original point, don't you think the Panthers are kind of set up to carry this forward here? The winning. The team is young. They have a lot of guys under contract. Yes. The ownership seems to take this very, very seriously. Dan mentioned the University of Miami and Miami.

their college basketball team's kind of wasting an opportunity. I'd agree. It's also a very different sport. You don't have players under contract, especially nowadays. You can play for four schools in four years if you want. The 96 Panthers are probably the closest comp to squandering the opportunity. But that was an expansion team that had a ton of veterans. There were a ton of guys, not a lot of young guys, not a lot of long-term contracts. Even though Barkov has played –

and Ekblad have played here for 10 plus years. They're still in their 20s. You have Reinhardt coming up as a free agent. The expectation is, and I know he said yesterday he wants to be here. You have Gustav Forsling on a gem of a deal locked up for a long time. You have Matthew Kachuk locked up for a long time. And the Bobrovsky contract does come off your books.

in a little bit. So, yeah, they're poised to be in this conversation for several years after. I also think one of the great things they have is they have a leader in Kachuk who tells everyone, hey, playing in Florida for this organization is great. Well, they talk about this all the time, the players around the team. They do like the anonymity that they have wandering around all of South Florida in a way that doesn't come with a ton of celebrity. And then when you are recognized by people internationally,

It feels a little bit better to have the celebrity because they have a genuine appreciation for you. And it's not a crowd of people gathering the way that it does, you know, every time LeBron has lunch in Toronto. It's not an insanity. It's a little more comfortable. And you're just feeling a little bit of gratitude here and there as opposed to having it alone.

it immerse your entire life. But when it comes to building blueprints on things in the history of South Florida sports,

That original Panther team that Mike talks about was not just veteran-laden. It was a bit of a fluke. So it wasn't something that could be sustained. When you think of things that are sustainable, you think about Heat 2010, 2014, and you think about the University of Miami replenishing championship recruitment. Everything else down here? Marlins get broken up when they win championships. They don't have sustaining teams.

The Dolphins have been bad forever. There's not a thing. Even this incarnation of the Dolphins that has a great deal of hope in it, the bill's going to come due on Tyreek Hill very shortly. Yeah, but you have faith finally that the organization is doing the right things. And as long as that head coach is there, you feel confident in your offense. I think for the first time in my life down here outside of when they had Marino, I

You know you're going to be a part of that conversation. You know you're going to be playing meaningful games into December. Because it feels like McDaniel will be down here for at least a decade, right? Yes, it does. It really does. The thing about this, though, that to me is the most invigorating of all of it is...

It's here. You have the ability to be Tampa. Tampa turned into a hockey town that Tom Brady had to come and wrestle away from that city because baseball has been better than everyone in Tampa for a long time, and they weren't able to do it because in the playoffs, they haven't been able to sustain the thing that you have to sustain, which is create the momentum that gets people more and more excited

excited until they're unbearably excited and then give them a game seven for everything. You make fans forever there. And South Florida is about to find out exactly why this is the most special event

trophy in North American pro sports because summers with Stanley are a real thing. That cup is if you're out and about in Broward County, hopefully one day in Dade, you're going to see that thing out. They're going to be celebrating all summer long with it. And when that thing enters a room, it is the bell of the ball. And it is unlike anything else here in North American sports. The celebration that is attached to that carries over for months on end.

I'm so over the Rays, how smart they are.

You know how smart they are? Smart enough that they put wild card banners up. That's what real winners do. They celebrate wild cards. Get out of here. Rays, how about be smart enough to win a World Series? He's right. Rays. I mean. They have like what? One AL pennant? Maybe two? If even that. Never won the World Series. Are they that smart? Can't figure out how to last all the way through October? They win 100 games with coupons, but Billy does know more baseball than most. Billy yesterday just correctly predicted a home run out of nowhere.

What? Yeah. Well, I got this weird text from Juju saying, well, it's through Taylor. It doesn't matter. But it was like, DraftKings, we're doing this home run special. We'd like to pick you to hit a home run, which I'm like, that's nearly impossible. How am I going to do that? And then I got lucky. Well, you've been very good with betting in general. I don't.

I think that we have a rabbit's foot that is better on gambling stuff than Billy. His information might not be good, but he's been pretty lucky with public gambling. His information wins. You want to see the home run? We have the home run. If for whatever reason you want to see an Anthony Santander home run in the eighth inning to make it a 10-8 game in Baltimore. What?

Look at that. Wall scraper. Opposite field. Now here's the thing. I love how they break up the syllables in his last name. Yeah. That's a tough one.

Here's my thinking on it. I didn't know that. So here's my thinking on this. I looked up, okay, who's the worst pitcher of the day or the pitcher that's given up the most home runs? So I found the pitcher that's given up the most home runs and it was the starting pitcher for the Guardians. And then I looked up, well, like who's leading the league in home runs?

And Gunnar Henderson was an option because he was two in the league, right? The Orioles are going to be good for 10 years. Yeah, but I was like, Gunnar's too obvious, right? Let me not pick the guy that has the second most home runs in the league. Anyone can do that. Let me go down. Oh, tied for fifth. Another Oriole. Let me pick that person. So I was thinking, the starting pitcher that gives up the most home runs, the fourth most home runs against a hitter who's fifth in the league in home runs, this is going to happen early. Oh, it didn't.

He was looking bad throughout that entire game. And Gunner hit a home run in the first inning. I was like, oh, I should have gone with Gunner. Every person I talked about yesterday behind the scenes show a hit one in the first inning. Everyone was hitting home runs yesterday, except Anthony until the eighth. And then I got you your dinger. What?

I remember what it was called. Home Run Ding or something. What do you got today? Sponsored by Draft... No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not going to happen. You're one and done? You're on a roll. I haven't been asked to be doing this every single day. Now, if you ask me later and I have to do it, I'll figure one out. But anyway, no one cares. Bad information. I mean, Billy studied. He put some research into this. I'm proud of him. Do it again. He...

There used to be this contest on MLB.com where it was like, so they had two. They had a hit streak one where you had to pick someone to get a hit every day. And if you broke DiMaggio's streak of 56 straight games, the prize was like a million dollars. And then it just kept growing because it's impossible. And I don't know if they still do it. I doubt that they do. But at one point it was like you win $5.6 million if you could predict a person to get a hit in the game. And not

the same person. Every day you could pick a different person to get a hit. And if they didn't play, then they gave you kind of like a, you know, you can do it again tomorrow. Impossible. Then they had one, I remember, I don't know why I remember this. You had to pick home runs. And I think it was like, if you get whatever the number was, whatever the number was, you won some big cash prize, right? And the person ended up successfully doing like nine straight games. So they would have won the prize.

But there was no replay at the time. And the person that they picked was Miguel Cabrera. And he hit one over the wall, a pro player, that hit the guardrail behind the wall and bounced back in. And since there's no replay, they said it was a live ball when it was actually a home run. And then the way that the MLB did a make good, I think they gave the person all-star game tickets or something.

These are the things that stay in my brain that are completely useless, and I can't remember basic things. What's interesting is that you say that you have a bunch of useless information. It's all useless. I don't have any useful knowledge. If you were to ask me, give me something useful, I simply cannot give you useful information. It's all useless, and I can't purge it. I don't know how to get rid of it.

Usually you do so because it dribbles out of your mouth yammered on this show. In a useless way, that's what I'm saying. I can't use my base of knowledge in any helpful, meaningful way.

It's just for bad. Yeah. And the first step is admitting it, Billy. And we have a contract here with DraftKings. I'm killing it for them. This is a sponsored segment that you just referred to as Home Run Dinger Something. Yeah. We are a partner with this organization to promote the things they have that are not named Home Run Dinger Something. I'm not the PR person. I'm the expert on the sports. That's what I did. I experted.

Yep, he got it right. That's all that matters. I mean, come on. Well, no. I mean, someone put that bet in yesterday on Billy's Advice, and they got it right. They want some money. Sturgatz, Sturgatz, you're going to be having the career you've had and say sponsorship doesn't matter? Totally fair. Okay. It matters, but when it counts, you know, it was called DraftKings HomerFest. Home run dinger something is what you just called it. Yeah, DraftKings HomerFest. I remember saying DraftKings HomerFest. I don't know about you.

Don Levitard. This guy comes in as the next Wayne Gretzky. His nicknames include The Chosen One and McJesus. Okay? He's a great player. He scores a lot of goals. He scores a ton of assists. But it hasn't translated to making Edmonton a powerhouse in the league. They're in the final. Stugatz. What's your nickname for him? McOverrated. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz. ♪

I have in front of me a piece of paper that has created, Stugatz, what I'm going to describe as a gurgling, simmering rage that is about to explode in a way that this show often uses as fuel for creativity. So...

I'm going to need some help from the group here because I haven't felt the feeling that I'm presently having simmering and gurgling in 10 years. Lucy may not have access to the last time I felt this. So let's just play for her the video package, Lucy, of 10 years ago, how it is that I ended up getting suspended from ESPN Live.

for something involving billboards that is now returned here with this piece of paper that is enraged me to give you Lucy the context of why it is I'm so angry right now. Now at 11, it's a sign of the times. This billboard poking fun at LeBron James went viral yesterday. Well, tonight, the man, the Miami radio host behind the billboard has been both silenced and suspended.

A message delivered. You're welcome, LeBron. We showed you the controversial billboard in Akron last night. Now the ESPN radio host who paid for it is now paying the price. News Channel 5's Michael Baldwin live in LeBron's hometown where Dan LeBretard's silence definitely has people talking.

Yeah, Danita, we won't be hearing from ESPN host Dan Levitard anytime soon. That's because he's been suspended for two days. He's been suspended for putting up signs like these throughout the city of Akron. And notice, Danita, I said these. That's because there's more than one.

Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but six. That's right, six of these You're Welcome, LeBron, Love Miami billboards spread across Akron. They cost about $100,000 and they were put up by ESPN TV and radio host Dan Lebertard, who lives in Miami. Well, the four-letter network suspended him for two days because they say they had no idea what he was up to. They released a statement saying in part...

His recent stunt does not reflect ESPN's standards and brand. We were not made aware of his plans in advance. Labrador sent a text to a reporter in response to the suspension, which reads, "I guess ESPN didn't find it at all quite as funny as I did." Nope. And neither did people from Akron like LeBron James' grandmother's fan club. I did not like the billboard, no. That's what my child.

Don't mess with our child. A Miami Herald reporter spoke to LeBretard and says we may be out of bounds on the signed message. Dan did it all in jest. To him, it was all good-natured fun. You know, it was never meant as...

No matter what the billboard's message is, people in Akron think ESPN did the right thing by having Levitard sit on the bench a few days. Well, I think he did it underhanded then. You know, if they didn't know about it, they did the right thing by suspending him.

Didn't know about it. They weren't listening to the show. Ever. We did a week on that. $100,000. It wasn't that much. It was not nearly that much. And I need to tell some of the backstory here. But Lucy, what are your thoughts here as you see this, I'm assuming for the first time? Greg Cody has aged 30 years and 10 years. He looks so different. Crazy.

Crazy. Sounds different. It was benign. Sounds different as well. No idea what I was up to. After that, we got a babysitter, right? Because there wasn't anybody actually listening to our show. Liam became our babysitter after that, correct? Yeah, we had a babysitter at that point, though, too. And like you said, we were talking about it on the air. For a week. It was kind of weird for them to say we weren't aware of it. Now, were we a little coy when they asked for details? Perhaps. Perhaps.

I also wasn't an ESPN employee at the time, despite producing programming for them. I will give you the details now because it was not $100,000. What happened here is that we tried to put out, we tried to put in the Cleveland Plain Dealer a newspaper ad that cost $100,000.

And they wouldn't allow it. And I was mad on behalf of free speech journalism, on behalf of being able to... Him leaving and taking the economy with him. Let's be honest, you were mad because they rejected your ad. We were all mad because he left. I was mad for a couple of reasons, though, because it was, of

course all of that but also I was mad on behalf of the newspaper industry which at the time was struggling for not taking my money and then allowing me to put up those billboards for less than $10,000 so they denied themselves 10 times the profit and

And I did it anyway. We did it anyway that way with billboards that are incredibly cheap in Akron. You were trying to help newspapers, of course, right? It was a noble gesture. That's right. It was an act of altruism. And it was also, if you're a sports fan from that area, you're happy that your newspaper stood up to someone trying to get one over on you. Billboard company?

They let you down. That was also, if I remember correctly, just phase one that the suspension then killed because I remember there were discussions of Sky Riders over the LeBron Welcome Home party and then there was debates as to, well, why would we have Sky Riders at night? How much does it cost? I was going there. Mike was going to go. I believe the rent is too damn high. Guy was offered to be a security guard. Bodyguard, yeah. What a great pop culture time capsule that was.

I did have not, it wasn't skywriting. We did have banners set up that ESPN then nuked. Not literally. No, literally. They did. They used, yes, they used nuclear weapons on some banners that were behind a plane. Mo Davenport. Mo Davenport. They spent a lot more money doing that. Seems excessive. It did seem excessive. The whole thing seems a little excessive. But I'm here again.

Now I'm mad at a billboard company because we have been working. I thought this was going up last night at midnight, the Greg Cody billboards. Everything was done. Everything's been done for days. Right dimensions and everything? Yeah, we got those right. We got the dimensions right. The dimensions haven't been right for days. No, the dimensions were not initially right. Otherwise, we might not have gotten this letter I now have gotten.

Did they change the size of the billboard? Or is it a funky shape? I'm going to go ahead and blame that one on General Metalark Malfeasance. These are digital billboards, right? So it's a whole different dimension.

I have been very disappointed about a number of different obstacles that have gotten in the way of these billboards. But yes, they were going to be digital billboards that were supposed to go up yesterday. I was told they were going up last night at midnight. And now this is what I have gotten. Apologies, but your ad request will not be processed and I'm no longer able to assist with this. Response from our team is as follows.

We have declined your request for advertising. Part of our creative approval process includes aligning with community standards and respecting the sensibilities of all stakeholders, including our audience, who in this case are the citizens of Edmonton, as well as our partners. And this messaging does not meet those standards. The messaging is just Greg Cody's face smoking a cigar saying Greg Cody was right. And you know it.

That's all that it says. That's all it says on the billboard. Maybe the cigar is a problem. Did you have to remove the cigar? Maybe it's a smoking situation. Great job by those folks in Edmonton. And real talk, from a business standpoint...

I would not be putting those up because those are going to get destroyed. I saw the 30 for 30 on what happened in Vancouver. No, I'm not going to be putting that up to piss off my community and have them take it out on my digital billboard. No way. Okay. Great call by them. I'm being censored and I'm not going to allow it. And that we have a different country. You can't claim free speech. We have a mole in our midst here. We have someone on the other side signing with the billboard company. This is censorship.

This is a broken North America. But you can't say this is America, Jack. You just can't. I can say this is America. No, you can't. Canada, we've got your trophy. We've got more strength here than you do. You don't know how to win this trophy. Our entire team is Canadian. This is North America, Jack.

Kachuk's American, proudly. We have freedom in this country to put up billboards in Akron. Barkov, first Finnish captain ever. I had no idea. Barkov's the first captain to never be in a fight to win a Stanley Cup. Amazing. Thought he was Russian?

He is part Russian. I had a friend confide in me who was a diehard for the last few years. And he's like, can I be honest now that we've won the cup? I'm like, what? He's like, for the first entire full season I was watching hockey, I thought Alexander Barkov and Sasha Barkov were brothers. I thought they were like the Sedins brothers.

Would you like the rent is too damn high clip, Mike? Would you like to revisit the time of who it is that you were going to go to? This was Mike's bodyguard. No, this wasn't your bodyguard. I don't think that this was your bodyguard.

guard? Was this your bodyguard? This was discussed. I think by the time I was the whole trip to Akron, they pulled the plug on it, I think like seven hours before I was supposed to board. This Rent is Too Damn High guy got phased out of the plans some 12 hours earlier. I was asking for

He was asking for an appearance fee. A lot went into it. There was multiple billboards. Then we couldn't actually use the rings because it was a copyrighted design. So Angel had to redesign the rings. And there was a whole font debate. That's why the Stanley Cup just got taken out of the Greg Cody was right thing because you can't use some of these things. Let's go ahead and play the Rent is Too Damn High guy, please. I represent the Rent is Too Damn High party.

People working eight hours a day and 40 hours a week to sum up their job. Women can't afford to take care of their children, feed their children breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My main job is to provide a roof over your head, food on the table, and money in your pocket. This is politics as usual. Playing a silly game. It's not going to happen. The rent to them, my movement, the people I'm here to represent can't afford to pay their rent.

They're being laid off right now as I speak. They can't eat breakfast, lunch or dinner. Listen, someone's stomach, child's stomach just growled. Did you hear it? You gotta listen like me. Let's talk about the issue. People came to... Mr. Cuomo, 30 seconds for you, sir. As a karate expert, I will not talk about anyone up here because our children can't afford to live anywhere. Nowhere. There's nowhere to go. Once again, why?

You said it. The rent is too damn high. Thank you. We need that party in Miami. That's the one party we need to have in Miami. But that's not the guy who was going to protect you, Mike. I think that guy got bumped for Charles Ramsey. It was Charles Ramsey. Yeah, from the area.

We will update you on Charles Ramsey in a second. We will get our shit together. What did he do? He saved the girl that was held captive. Oh, yeah, that's right. A kidnapped girl. We'll get to that in a second.

I do a lot of work outside my house and just recently I cut down tree limbs and put them out in front for bulk pickup.

That Florida sun is not playing around, man. So I prepared by emptying that popsicle firecracker stick of liquid IV in a bottle of water and put it in the freezer. And as soon as I finished that work, I rushed right in the kitchen to get that bottle and let it melt a little bit on the counter. And that did the trick.

Don Levitard. Cheaters never prosper. Stugatz. I ain't cheating. This is the Don Levitard Show with the Stugatz. We've got a delayed penalty here, Mike Ryan. I'm sorry. You're going to have to go to the penalty box for two minutes here. You confused the rent is too damn high guy with Charles Ramsey. Minor penalty, two minutes for lying.

Lying, confusing, I mean. Yeah, this is one of those times that I'm headed to the box, but the ref got the wrong guy here. The ref got the wrong guy. No, no, no. No, I like the penalty kill here. You guys go for it. Kevin Stenland over here. Well, you don't want me. You don't want Kevin Stenland off the penalty kill right now. I'll tell you that.

That's my penalty. I mean... We will get to the explanation for this in a second, because I don't think that Lucy knows who Charles Ramsey is either. I don't think Jeremy knows. And speaking of all of that, because... What a weird time, huh? Just reminiscing and looking back at all these people. Yeah. Summer. Odd.

Going through our history is something that I always enjoy doing. It's nice to see Roy again. Roy, are you sober? Are you more sober today than you were yesterday? Not for long. Okay. You're still celebrating. What are the best parts of the last 24 hours? What are the sights and sounds? What are some of the things you've enjoyed watching about your hockey team celebrating? Man, I really enjoyed watching that cup going into the ocean. Uh,

Maybe it is a corrosive property, the saltwater. Maybe some of the names are going to come off that cup, but I'm sure they're going to. Can I ask you something? So you were there. What does the keeper of the cup do? Was he in sight at all? Because they get their days, right? But you also hear of ways they defile the Stanley Cup. I don't know.

I don't think that the Stanley Cup guy is like a voyeur, right? So if someone is doing something funky with the cup, is he standing in the corner watching or does he disappear? So when it goes into the ocean, what does he do? I'm sure he was still in the elbow room. I did not see him. What?

Because they had the cup the entire day. But I didn't see him, but I'm sure he was in the vicinity. I would imagine that you asked the keeper of the cup, hey, can we throw this thing in the ocean before you actually do it? You need his approval, don't you? No, I don't think they got approval. His job is keeper of the cup. He protects the Stanley Cup. We have talked to a number of different players over the years. I don't remember who the Dallas star was that we talked to about –

things that have been done with the cup, parties, weird parties, eating things, spaghetti out of the cup where guys are partying with rock stars and metal bands enjoying God knows what kind of debauchery with the cup. They have many cups. The cup often gets broken. They have to fix it a great deal. And they come back every year with a cup that seems like it's okay. But there's no way that partying with hockey teams is

I don't know that people truly understand how hockey teams rage. Oh, absolutely not. Those boys can party. I can tell you that. And if they do damage to the cup, they'll send it to a shop in Montreal. They'll fix it. And they send it right back out. Mike Ryan has been sent out. And I do think it was Billy that caused that problem. And Billy doing quiet anarchy is one of, uh, one of his more enjoyable characteristics. Uh,

But I do want to just get everything I can, Roy, from what your 24 hours have been, because you are you've been weakened by the last 24 hours and your unusual career path in this space, which is to choose a broadcasting career as a man of two few words, a man of not many words.

He's done pretty well, though. Yes, he's done pretty well. No one else has established that broadcasting lane of being a man of few words in broadcasting. A.J. Hawk. Yes, A.J. Hawk.

AJ Hawk is absolutely trying to find Roy's lane. You're the pioneer here, Roy, on being a man of few words. But over the last 24 hours, what is happening in your household? Is your family thrilled for you? Is Princess Claire...

on clouds because her father is happier than she's ever seen it. Oh, absolutely. She is ecstatic. I bought her a cap. I bought her a nice little Stanley C. Panther pillow. She is very, very happy with everything that has gone down. Actually, there is a my wife, Anid, told me to pray.

before game seven. She told me to get some divine intervention into this game. Has she ever done that before? Before a game? Has she ever wasted prayer on a game before? This is the first time that we have. There's no such thing as a prayer wasted.

But if we're wasting prayers, that's definitely this one. You don't want to save bullets? Game four would have been a wasted prayer. Yeah, yeah. That's why I didn't do it. Three in the holster. You could have saved yourself a lot of stress if you had just prayed before four, five, and six, Roy. Yeah, well, you know, I thought I had it in the bag on that one. So God's a Panthers fan? I guess so. I guess so. He shows sides. Roy, your 15-year-long bit of play-by-play on Twitter.

That tree is bearing incredible elite fruit now. Because I do think your Sam Reinhart 2-1 tweet is actually an old-timer. It is a great tweet. Great punctuation. Efficient with punctuation. You've got it wrong, Billy. God is not a Panther fan. But he hates McDavid. He is American.

We've established. He's certainly not Canadian. God is American. He is. He's a Greg Cody fan, though, too. He's kept Greg. I do actually believe that is the RNC platform, by the way, that God is American. Yeah, that's right. Put it on the poll. Is God American at Levitard show?

Let's introduce the audience to Charles Ramsey, the guy who was going to be Mike Ryan's bodyguard because Akron wasn't going to behave any nicer around our billboards than Edmonton's going to behave around our billboards. Well, I was threatened with a lot of physical violence. We had to get you a bunch of security. We had to hire a bunch of security that wasn't Charles Ramsey. No, Dan and I were legitimately concerned for your safety, but we were. We had to hire security. We didn't.

And I was prepared to go by myself. Local authorities had been alerted, like word got out that I was on my way there, and the security that we were approaching was Charles Ramsey, who said, genuinely, "If I'm with you, nothing is gonna happen." That's correct. And he was going to protect Mike Ryan. Here is an introduction to Charles Ramsey. Walk me through again what happened this afternoon. You heard screaming. Heard screaming. I meet my McDonald's. I come outside.

I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of her house. So I go on the porch and she says, "Help me get out. I've been in here a long time." So, you know, I figured it was a domestic violence dispute. So I open the door and we can't get in that way because how the door is, it's so much that the body can't fit through, only your hand.

So we could kick the bottom and she comes out with a little girl and she says call 9-1-1 What was the reaction on the girls faces? I can't imagine to see the sunlight to be around I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms. Something is wrong here dead giveaway Dead giveaway. Yes punctuation of saying it twice we went viral and he was a hero. He is a hero. Yeah, legit hero
