It is rare that I come in here wanting to talk tennis. I felt yesterday like I had been transported to Sunday mornings in America 30 years ago. 30 years ago, back during a different time in tennis. And then I come in here and I sit down and who's sitting across from me to talk tennis?

but Dominique Foxworth. Mr. Tennis. Oh, that match, man. I don't know.

I know this is the Shadow Show, so I don't want to get into it. You don't want to give up the good stuff during the Shadow Show? The Shadow Show is the place for the best stuff, for the most loyal. I agree. I'm not saying that I don't want to give up the good stuff. I'm saying that I want the room to stretch out and talk about the psychodrama that took place. So you don't want... This is too limiting, these three minutes of the Shadow Show where we're supposed to be giving the pure stuff to our best fans. Can't every podcast say that the most loyal audience is there at the start of the podcast?

You can be totally disloyal and still hear this at the same spot of the podcast. Well, but OK, fair enough. But the part of the shadow show that you will find right now on YouTube live, which is us talking directly to our audience in a way we never do. It's the only place that we're doing it right here directly to the audience. Dominique doesn't want to waste his best stuff. Not not on a Greg Cody Monday.

Is that a thing? Greg Cody Monday? It used to be Greg Cody Tuesday. I don't know what happened. I got to get my calendar fixed. Goddamn cert, man. That's right. Woo!

Let's go. It's Shirt Tuesday. Whatever the hell it is. It's Monday. What? It's Shirt Monday. There's no video on the Shadow Show. It's Shirt Monday. All right. So, Greg, just explain to me how you've been promoted. You don't know what day it is, even though it's... So do you not wear shirts the other day? It's normally Tuesday when I'm in here. All right. So just to be clear right now, just so that we get off the ground correctly, it's Shirt Tuesday. Right.

- Okay. - I just think that the shadow show where there is no video, I'm building anticipation. 'Cause everybody who's listening on YouTube right now is like, I can't wait till the video comes out because Greg looks magnificent. - Well, Dominique came in today and said of this shirt, I've told Greg, he's gotta buy dozens of shirts like this. He needs nothing else in his collection. It needs to be just these shirts.

Dominique and Greg have a checkered history. Checkered. And upon seeing each other, they had a very stiff, starched, dry, clean handshake. But then Dominique noticed your father's shirt. And he said, nice shirt. And your father, a puddle of roses, melted into Dominique's feet. Your father went totally soft. I thought it was a lovely handshake.

Your shirt is what he thought was lovely. Okay. Well, I thought the handshake was good and the shirt compliment was even better. But as I told Dominique, when you tell somebody effusively what a nice shirt they have, what's unspoken is compared to what you normally wear is the thing that was unsaid. Backhanded. Yes, backhanded compliment. I mean, my inclination was to defend myself, but then I was like, no.

It's true. You know it's true. We all know it's true. We ain't got to play no games. It's a good move that you pulled. Yeah. You have effectively lowered expectations, and you wore this shirt, which I won't explain because people, I want them to be surprised. It's just a shirt. It's shirt Tuesday. That motherfucker got buttons. Same color as the shirt. And you know what? What? It feels like I have cuffs buttoned, but there's no button. Oh! It's beautiful. Oh!

I'm telling you what, I'm going to start wearing these shirts as pants. That's how much I like them. So if you wear shirts on Tuesday, what day is Pants Day? Wednesday? Greg Cody just got done saying, I'm not making this up, this was official, and I was honored to be the only one here to witness and hear and celebrate it.

He said, I have now retired officially my press box collection of shirts. The press box collection, which is all crumpled collars, all 20-year-old shirts, shirts that just shouldn't go. You shouldn't go out of the house because the collar goes seven different ways. In his defense, there's a uniform that.

And there's a mentality. And when you put on something that looks a little too slick, it's hard to work hard and it's hard to make good stuff. So you throw some whatever on, you are telling the world and telling yourself, I'm getting down and I'm going to work. I don't care what I look like. I'm going to make some quality stuff today. There's difference. If someone comes out all decked out, they are expecting not to do hard work or make good things.

Let's start shirt Tuesday. Everybody wear their flyer shit on Tuesday. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.

I can't start with the basketball and I probably should start with the tennis because it really was a Sunday that felt like it had gone back in time 30 years where tennis mattered at the only time that tennis can have the stage to itself. When sports are, you know, sleepy and getting up in the morning, it's mostly soccer and stuff. This used to be a time in this country that on Sunday mornings,

what tennis gave you yesterday was a magical thing that went beyond tennis and had Dominique in a place where he's been yesterday, I'm going to say, he's where tennis fans have been for about 30 years. He's on an airplane trying to celebrate with somebody what he's witnessing on television, which is like the height of athletic grace and pressure, not team sports,

Just people doing something historic and he wants to celebrate with somebody on the airplane and there's just one person six rows back that's also watching. That's where tennis has lived in the public consciousness for a while, but they gave you an epic one yesterday.

It was incredible, man. Like the the match itself was outstanding. But I think more interesting than that is it took me to a place where I was thinking about how few moments in our lives we actually are in a situation where we're at a fork in the road and know that our performance will just

determine the trajectory of our lives. And I'm in that moment thinking, it's a five-plus-hour tennis match, and it's epic. They know it's epic, and they know that the whole world has stopped to watch them play. And they know that this will determine kind of how we'll think about them and how their careers go forward. And they seem to have separated themselves from the pack, so this is going to be a rivalry

that goes on for a long time and it's taken over from the big three to the big two. But just thinking about that, and I started going back through my life trying to think of moments where I was like, man, I woke up and I was like, whatever happens today will determine how the rest of my life goes. And we just don't have those moments much. And that's why I love sports so much. And it feels like the only time you see that it's like movies and TV shows where you're like, hey,

This is going to determine how everything else goes from here. And we had that yesterday. Sports are great. And I want to get back to all of that because I really do believe that yesterday it can be inspirational, right? When you see all this stuff distilled and it's not team sports and it's just two people fighting and it's five hours of will of faith.

and they're living and dying with it, and they care as much as you do, and they know they're in the middle of something historic. And both matches were good yesterday. Both matches this weekend were good. But I want to start with the hockey because, of course, overtime is the best thing, and double overtime is better than that. And, Roy, I will not hear that you were not scared. I wasn't. Roy? Liar. Roy?

Roy, there's just, that's, you are lying. You are lying. In fact, hold on a second. No, no, no, no. Hold on a second. Yo, chicken time. It's the Miami Medical Center. You were next to Dwarfie. Bye.

And also you smiled when you said, no, it's a towel. Yeah. Roy. Roy Liley. Such a liar. You can't. That's the scariest. That's the scariest it's been in three years. No? That right there. Have you had a worse feeling as a Panther fan than I know my team is good enough, but we could get killed here by random? In the last three years, yeah. I mean, being down...

to Boston, that Brad Marchand breakaway that doesn't go in the net and then you need Montour to equalize with less than a minute left. I'd say I was pretty nervous against Toronto when they were down two

2-0 and then they went down two goals in game three and needed to come back in that one. No one here showed public fear there. That was not something that made an appearance here. You guys have been all bravado. We got the best team. This is the best team, but you know you're up against something that can beat you in overtime and double overtime, could come back from 3-1. You're scared of it. You respect it plenty because you know how good it is and

You were... That goal, I want to play four goal calls, four languages, but I did hear on one of the replays, one of the radio announcers was calling on the Marchand goal. He actually said...

Can't get the shot off is how he started it. And then the next thing you hear is, that's a goal. The game is over. And what sweeps through South Florida is you go from fear to exhilaration. You go from down 0-2 to, oh, now you can have home ice. And let's play these goal calls one after another. Marchand, the hero of this

And the Panthers are going to enter Florida with a 1-1 win in this Stanley Cup Finals.

Le cinquième but gagnant en prolongation de la carrière de Brad Marchand en série. That's why we started with that one. We're going to build up. When did it go in? A real surprise judgment from Roy there to go French first for some reason. French-Canadian. It's a build-up. I would only assume it's a build-up. I like that. Okay, I think it's a not great judgment, but what are you going to give us now? English or a different language? This is French. Match of the day!

- Yeah, palayvou. Oui Oui's, Bon Bons and all that good stuff. - We are building up, that one was better. Oui Oui.

was your contribution. So we've started with two French goal calls. Again, when I was listening, that broadcaster absolutely went home kicking himself because the beginning of the call was Marchand can't get the shot off. It was a tricky goal. I mean, Dreisaitl did lift the stick a little bit. It kind of just slid in. Okay, but so people understand the tempest of this if you do not care about hockey.

You've got your heart in your face the entire two periods. You're just terrified, and they've got the fastest guys. They've got the people who can score fastest, and you're great at defense. Also, it should go without saying, and it has so far, but for those that didn't watch the game, Edmonton equalized that game with 17 seconds left. Yes.

So you're carrying that with you. So thank you. So the team that's the clutchiest in the clutch, third period, they always win it. That's their signature thing. Paul Murray's undefeated on the road, undefeated in the playoffs if he leads after one or two. And then definitely after three.

They come back on you twice because it doesn't matter. And now with 17 seconds left in the game, your heart is in your throat the rest of the time. And what happens is as Edmonton can flog you and you're already tired because it's hard to play against them because it's 46 shots in the last game and you got the weight of Edmonton on you and you're champions.

and this shit's hard and you have to get marchand and you have to do trade deadline things so that you've got more reinforcements because this is the toughest trophy to win everybody knows that this is the toughest trophy to win by reputation i know that hockey and tennis are very different sports however

I felt a similar thing while watching the tennis match in that hockey game where it's like the mentality, and sorry to drag us back to this mental part of the game, but in those moments, you're playing for the Stanley Cup, the championship of your sport, like the thing that you want in Dynasty, essentially for Florida to start playing

kind of accumulating those titles for Dynasty, and you have 18 seconds until you have taken home ice advantage, and you give up a goal. And the mentality that it requires. You guys should be so proud. Like, I've become somewhat of a Panthers fan just by watching this show. And one of the things I know about the Panthers from watching this show and watching more Panthers games is they can –

They can ice a game, essentially. And they had that one thing. You always talk about how they can take the ball in the corner and snuff out another point. It's a puck, but that's all right. We keep it going. My bad. A puck. You got it. Take it in the corner and snuff out the opponent. And they had that situation to do. And they couldn't do it. And they responded to that by bouncing back. Like, that is so difficult mentally. Let me just explain. This part is the coolest to me, right? Yeah. This...

They're a champion. They're a champion. They're a proven champion, and this is how you defend a title. Edmonton comes at you with those two players, and they crush you, steal your soul. 17 seconds left. That's the loudest Edmonton there's been since Gretzky. Like, yes, we can topple these guys. They're the champion. They took it from us. Now we can do to them in these last moments what they thought they were good at. This is how you take it from them. And then what you have in overtime is...

It goes right from one side to the other. That's not playoff hockey. Playoff hockey is not that wide open. It's not four and five goals. If the Panthers are going to play Edmonton style and win at that...

When at that, it's the toughest way to do it. If that's the way they're going to choose, you're going to make Bobrovsky be a lot better than Skinner. Yeah, you don't want to be in an end-to-end battle with the Edmonton Oilers. But what I'm saying is, imagine this, Dominic, just the feeling. There's just nothing like it. Nothing like what I'm about to explain to you. It's overtime. It's double overtime. You're terrified. And what's coming at you is historically offensively, it'll flog you.

And so back and forth on the ice as fast as it can be. And then Marshawn, of all people, wins the game for you. I'm not a hockey guy, as you can tell by the fact that I call the puck a ball. But that's the wonderful thing about sports in this tennis match, in these hockey games over the weekend, is you don't have to understand the complexity of it. You turn it on and you goddamn feel it. And I felt it watching that game. And to your point, I don't know how

I've been in these high pressure situations and I know that there's something that happens in those situations that the momentum and the psychology of it, it hurts. And so like me explaining to you, I know we like pay lip service to it, like just be tough.

It's really hard to just be tough. I'm not sure how I can create a moment in everyone else's life, but imagine the rent is due and you just don't got it. That feeling that you have in that moment and how most people will respond to that is like, shit.

I got it. But somehow they go find that damn Brent and it fires me up. It can't be overstated that if they lose that game to go down 2-0 in the series, realistically it's over. And don't tell me about Toronto in the last round. This is not Toronto. And Florida hasn't been lights out at home. They're 4-3 at home this postseason. If we lose that game and then win tonight, we're fine. But yes, it gets scary. No.

You lose that game in that way. Oh, no. It gets scary. Trust me. I wish I had the security footage of outside the restaurant, the bar I was at, of me just after that goal, the intermission before overtime, just me aimlessly walking through the parking lot. I'll back Chris up here. It doesn't feel as over as going down 3-0 to Toronto would have felt because you still have the two home games to hang your hat on. And I know they've been better on the road. They're not...

They're not a bad team at home. They're still reigning defending Stanley Cup champions with two games at home in front of their home fans to get back into that series. Toronto 3-0 would have felt over. It would have been scary. I'm not saying it would have been scary, but we've had scary before. I will tell you that historically in the Stanley Cup final,

a 2-0 lead is accentuated. That in the Stanley Cup final is even greater than 2-0 in other rounds. Historically, 91% you're up 2-0, you're going to win. 91%, 50 out of 55 teams up 2-0 in the final have won. Dare say most of those teams aren't as good as Edmonton? They sure don't have McDavid.

I would say that ostensibly up to 0 and 1 that way, where it is that Dominique is talking about how you get debilitated. Like, these teams that are this good do not give away the championship. It must be taken. Like, that...

This team, you know it. When Paul Maurice is saying, this is a life-changing team for me, this is the best thing I've ever seen, hockey guy at his core, and he's saying, this is a life-altering experience for me. To be in the center of this, I've got the best and I know it. And oh shit, what cometh this way? He respects what that is. He knows it's all of Edmonton. He knows what he knows to fear that McDavid, with all of Edmonton on his back,

doesn't seize up to the pressure of that becomes the immortal that we think he is because that's what the hockey does to these people this time of year. Like what's available to McDavid right here is everything. Go ahead, Chris. What do you know? I mean, I just think that when this team is playing the way they're playing, like they're,

The fan base is way more scared than the players are. I agree with you. When they get that goal with 17 seconds left, I am broken. We're all broken as a fan base. But you hear the reports. They go back in the locker room. They're laughing. Kachuk's like, who's going to get it? Maybe it's a coping mechanism, but they're trying to just be relaxed, talking about who's calling out, who's going to get the game-winning goal. So I just feel like – and that's why they're so great. The fear –

The Panthers actually weren't scared in that spot. Unlike I was. I will admit, I was terrified. I think that the stories that come out are, and I'm not in that locker room, but the stories that come out are different than how they're actually feeling and how I think everyone is actually feeling. I think there are some people that feel that way. But I think the story is a little bit shaded by the result. Because if they lose in that situation, no one's like, hey, we're like,

That's happened in a bunch of locker rooms where people thought they were going to come back and they didn't. Is he accusing the Panthers of lying, of changing, rewriting the mythology as we go? Is he saying they didn't come back to the locker room laughing? Let's check in on Roy and Dwork and Rose did a live watch of this and I want you guys to see the Panther fan base is represented by these four people. I heard from sources I will not reveal now but we will get to over the course of the show that

Ethan was again too chatty on the show. We're going to have to do that, something about that as a network, I believe. I was told from sources that Roy had to exert a pulling aside of Ethan and telling him to talk less. And it's something I've been wanting to do for a while. So thank you, Roy, for handling that in management in front of people.

I overheard, I have no idea the context of what you just said, but before the show today, I heard Roy say to Ethan, we have to talk after the show. I got nervous hearing that. Look, Ethan talked too much on this, but it's okay. We give away the microphones around here. I learned more than I wanted about Ethan this morning. He talks a lot.

That might be later for the show. Well, I will tell you that I have not yet forgiven Ethan for while I was doing a show introducing Pablo Torre, seeing in our Slack turn up from Ethan the commentary to everybody. Are we just going to bleep off Pablo all show? And Ethan felt, you know, Ethan, go to the penalty box for a while here because this is retroactive. Retroactive. We've got a penalty, five minutes, major asshole.

So he was talking too much during Roy and Dwork and Rose's broadcast because we give away microphones around here. Wait, I'm confused. Is he or is he not on the show? He is on the show. He's the third voice. I saw a shirt that said Budski on it. All right, so he should be talking more like the third voice and less like the first voice. But here's 17 seconds left. I want you to look at here. These are objective journalists, Rose and Dwork and Rose.

Roy and Ethan, objective journalists, when Edmonton ties the game with 17 seconds left. Going back to the point. I know that. Oh, my God. Get it out. Oh, my God. The Edmonton Oilers have tied this game at four. Wow. Trying to go into overtime. Oh, my God, dude. This is like a team of destiny. Holy shit.

Corey Perry has tied this game at four with 17 seconds left in regulation. 40-year-old man. Well, now I get to rewrite my game story. I love how Roy just kind of talks like his tweets.

Well, he stayed in broadcast. Look. He doesn't want to show us the feelings. No, it was like Cronkite delivering you news of the equalizers. Thank you. Thank you. I'd like to play all of this again because Roy met the moment by absolutely delivering the news poignantly as what happened around him. The visuals of this would have been the same if a landmine had gone off underneath Roy because Rose and Ethan... Just walk away. I've never seen Ethan get that far from a microphone that fast.

Like, he likes being near microphones, but he just, this tore apart the Panther fan base. To have it, look, guys, if you lose those two games that way and know how good Edmonton is, I'm not going to say you guys bow, but you'd certainly be expecting to lose at that point. Yeah, yeah.

No, we know we have a game three that's a must win. That's the way I would look at it. That's hard to come back from. And you'd be telling yourself Edmonton's better. It's that way of it. It was brutal. You're right. No, but they're beating you at your stuff. When they're better than you, you get a shorthanded goal.

You need a shorthanded goal to beat them. I would think high scoring games, we're actually beating them at their game, I would argue. Our game is more 2-1. I know, but I'm saying you would have lost both games their way. And they would have taken from you at the end the thing that you do best because you couldn't get them to play your way. Like, the thing that the Panthers do is they inflict those third periods on people. Can we get back to Roy delivering the news?

Yes. Let's play this sound so that you can see where Rose and Ethan end up. Oh, Marsha! Marsha! Oh, breakaway! Oh, Marsha! Breakaway! Guys, we went up. I don't care about the joy. I want the tears. Get their happiness out of my face. Stop it.

Bring it down. Bring it down. Yeah, that's not the one that I wanted. I need the one where Roy says courage afterwards. Guys, when we say replay, it means we want to play the one we just played. That's Dan Rather. Good note, Chris. Good note. Yes, that is what it means. That was a 10-minute meeting after the show about communication. I said it in the open mics. Yes, just barked it as an instruction to the other room. Barky. Alexander barked it. Shirt Tuesday.

Holy shirt. No holes. Oh, come on, man! That's harsh judging right there. Holy shirt. I want to appeal that ruling. You think holy shirt deserved something there? Yeah, yeah. Well, Alexander, whatever I said, Bart... Whatever you said. Such a good memorable line that it's whatever I said. There are so many good memorable lines, it's tough to catalog them.

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.

Dominic, do you see the... The Nile? Yes, I do see the Nile. On your glasses, Greg. Yeah, I know. They were poorly fit. I'm not going to name my optometrists right now, but... Name them. These were poorly fit. Kill a gutter. When they go on, I think they're naturally too close to my skull. They've been consistently smoking up. They're fogging. Ah.

You know what? I have a good excuse built into anything that goes wrong this show because I'm tired. I'm in the middle of a long, grueling hockey playoff. I don't think I've written anything but Panthers for like, it feels like two months. It's probably been a couple of weeks at least. And it makes me weary. It does. But exhilarated.

You understand that feeling. That's when you used to work for a living? Okay, look. So this was interesting, though, on the flight that Dominique took in. When Dominique is flying in and he's trying to enjoy the majesty of sports, this is somebody who still is following these things in a way that hasn't been for 50 years that can be exhausting to lifetime people who have been running back and forth to arenas for decades.

I don't know how many years, but this is where the media gets old. Like this is where the voices, the voices that are 50 through 70 that are sort of tired of

sports and can't be inspired by what it is that is presently in the middle of it. You're speaking to the exhilaration of it. It's what keeps you coming in, but you're also tired. Right. No, I know that, but you know what wakes you up and invigorates you and makes you the opposite of tired is when you watch a Marshawn goal in double overtime and you instantly realize you've just seen something epic. You've just seen something that's going to be memorable, that's going to have a place in Florida Panthers history. Right.

And that's pretty exciting. You know, it's great. And I still say that if they lose that game and they're down 2-0, nobody, not even the fans with their face painted throwing rats, nobody thinks realistically that they're going to win that series. That's so funny you say that because I would bet that...

you would have written that column that they're still in it because you have to just hold the McOverrated. It's your last hope of just holding that. Okay, look, he hasn't won a Stanley Cup yet, so officially he's still McOverrated. How did you feel when he had that power play assist? It's one of the nicest plays I've ever seen in hockey. It was magical. He slalomed.

past Barkov and Ekblad. Our best defenders. And left them like turnstiles. It was incredible. He's ridiculously good. But like right there, did you kind of have a moment of, oh. No, no, because I'd seen it before and I'll see it again. No. Yeah, yeah, I had. And I know how good he is.

Too good to never have won a Stanley Cup. I just had a colonoscopy. I had no polyps. I have the same number of polyps as McDavid does Stanley Cups. Well, that was the clip we were going to play with White Hat. I ate White Hat. I got him like a fish on my podcast. All right, hold on a minute. We've just arrived at the most self-absorbed part of Shirt Tuesday. Holy Shirt Tuesday. Thank you. Hold on.

Hold on, because you mentioned... Look, Chris. I forget his name. White Hat. Greg, you're inside here on a rivalry that's very important to you, but I need to explain to the joke to the entirety of the audience because they may not know. Okay, I just remembered his name. It's Pete Cockburn. Blackburn. Blackburn? Okay, my bad. I'm sorry. But he's a senile old man. Honest mistake. In the dead of night...

Take these broken wings and learn to fly. You didn't say the Blackburn part. Blackburn singing. I thought it was obvious. But he's a senile old man. Do it with Cockburn. Yeah, you know, I showed him. I ate him for lunch.

So he says he gutted him like a fish and then throws out a cockburn for everyone to enjoy. You're ruining some of the comedy. He said, I got in him like a fish. Get it right. Everything that he said is comedic genius. Got in him? I thought he said, I gutted him like a fish. Oh, I thought he said. Oh, apologies. I definitely heard cockburn.

That I heard. Senile old man. So can I explain to the audience what just happened? Please, yeah. You're feuding with another podcast because they call you a senile old man. Yeah, well, White Hat did. The other guy was pretty complimentary. But he's a senile old man.

Yeah, fine. Keep playing that. Okay, but hold on. Okay. But he's a senile old man. So, Roy, Roy, I need to get back to you. Have you gotten video ship shape, please? Have you gotten video ship shape so that I can get back to you being Crestfallen Cronkite? You were delivering your news. Crestfallen Cronkite. You were delivering. Chris noted duly, okay? There will be no better moment than this, even the one we've already spoiled, by showing you the game-winning goal.

Roy meeting the moment with the urgency of telling everybody what the news is of what just happened as his teammates make clear what just happened, which is an apocalypse. What has happened is 17 seconds left. We're no longer friends. This is how friends would come apart in the movies if they didn't want to be around each other because something terrible had happened. And Roy rose to the moment and summoned his best crestfallen Cronkite.

Going back to the point. I know that. Oh, my God. Get it out. Oh, my God. The Edmonton Oilers have tied this game at four. Wow. Starting to go into overtime. Oh, you say it, Roy. Say it. Oh, my God, dude. This is like a team of destiny. Holy shit. Corey Perry has tied this game at four with 17 seconds left in regulation. Oh. Oh.

And that's the way it is. Oh, my God. Roy, it is so good, but it's also good because you're so professional in that moment while everything around you is crestfallen that I don't believe that people understand how flim-flam, flip-flop, dwork is. That in the middle of that, he's like, oh, shit, Team of Destiny. Like, he gave them the entire game there. It wasn't even time.

Oh, everyone was saying that at that moment. I was saying worse. Yeah, it's their time. I was like, check, please. It's just their time. Wait a minute, which is it? Again?

It can't be all those things. No, that's exactly. 17 seconds left? Yeah, with 17 seconds left after we lost game one in overtime, you're like, okay, this is, it's just their time. And that's a perfectly rational way to behave. Okay, you say that, but how about what Dominique is saying about the idea of they know that's what they're under and they're like, bleep off. We laugh in the face of this. We laugh in the face of, no, you're going to write us

off like that, that's why we're stronger than our fan base because we're in the war. We're in the middle of it. Not the whole fan base. They're not stronger than Roy because Roy looked at that and said, it is a date which will live in infamy, but we are coming back, baby. And that's why Roy, I feel differently about all of this now because I didn't realize that people like that walk among us. Roy is...

ice water. I know that if somebody came up in here, I don't give a damn who you got on security. Roy is going to save us all. When he fixed his posture and then adjusted the headset mic to meet the moment, I felt that. I see it in his face because right when the goal happens, his eyes get big and you can see it. And then he has a moment of

Got to be a journalist here. All right, so I'm going to explain. Please, one more time, I want to play this. See a video. This is the same video I want to play again. I don't want to play the video of them winning the winning goal. The same video. Replay. So I want you not just to watch everything here. Roy and Ethan, I'm sorry, Rose and Ethan, leave the proceedings because this is crushing. This is one of those pains that you'd remember for a long time. 17 seconds is a number that would get etched.

in that moment for Panther fans because, oh, that's where they took it. 17 seconds left. They took our thing from us. We snuff you out at the end of games. And Roy is not just a war correspondent here. He's also reporting from where the Hindenburg has crashed. And what he does in that... There are bodies everywhere! This is right. No. For some reason, correct. For some reason, gunfire has broken out somewhere around here. I don't say that flippantly. That's an actual danger these days.

But in this particular context, he's a war correspondent. And what he does with his headset here is he gets into position because this is the moment of Roy's life. Going back to the point. I know that. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. The Edmonton Oilers have tied this game at four. Wow. They're going to go in overtime.

Oh my god, dude. This is like a team of destiny. Holy shit. Corey Perry has tied this game at four. I wish he had glasses to take off. He would have driven the point home that President Kennedy has died at 1 p.m. Central Time. I think I found a new moment.

We might have to watch it again or try to freeze it, but I don't think you recognize that the serial killer that Roy is, he smiled a little bit. Watch it again. I promise you there's a smirk. I promise you there's a smirk. He laughed to death. There's no way to do this face. Replay. I want a replay. Please. It's simple. Going back to the point. Watch. Watch the smile. It's coming. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. The Edmonton Oilers have tied this game at four. Wow. There it is. Oh, my God.

He's smiling! There it is! He looked death in the eye. What was that? Here it comes! Look! Yes! I caught him! Oh my god. You're sick. Oh, Roy, you sicko! I believe you now. I thought it was all an act. That is fucking right there. He's so happy. Dwork is not ready for it. Rose is clearly not ready for it. Ethan's not ready. Roy is smiling at death.

Stay ready so you don't have to get ready. To smile? You don't want it the easy way. What a catch by Dominique. He got excited because he was like, hey. Roy, play for me in Spanish, please, before we get to the goal call where all of you celebrated. Play for me the Spanish goal call of the Marchand goal. Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand,

we do it better it's the go-to we do it better

Shirt Tuesday. Pantalones miércoles. Pantalones on a shirt Tuesday. Tony, Spanish is a better language than French. It's better. It's far superior. Put it on the poll, please, at Levitard Show. We played two French goal calls. They both kind of stunk, and we didn't know what had happened. We don't know when the puck goes in the net. Sorry to say, don't yell.

That's the only reason we know. Can we play the French-Canadian one again? It was terrible. Not French-Canadian. Play the French one. That one sucked. Guys, it was plenty confusing to those watching and listening to English. It was a weird goal. Agreed, but... Kenny Albert's like, it's not in. Oh, shit, it's in. Yes. I don't think he said, oh, shit, it's in. Kenny Albert said that? And he didn't hit his microphone when he said it either with his left fist either. Paul missed it in. Oh!

Head for Marchand. Moving in on Skinner. Marchand is... And he scores! Wins game two!

And Marshan's mom in the middle of Edmonton there, just taunting people. I mean, the Spanish one has a climax. Far superior. None of them climax like the Spanish. It's so much better. One note, these Spanish goal calls, every sport. You can't steal the soccer goal call. We got it. You can't steal it. Okay, look, you make fun of it all you want.

Okay, make fun of it all you want. There was no confusion in the Spanish telling of this tale. Okay, so you go ahead and tell me how much better French and English are, but when the Spanish do it, this is the correct call, no argument. March out, march out, march out, march out, march out, march out, march out! It's true.

Tony, because our language is the superior language, again, I want to put it on the poll at Levitard Show, better language, Spanish or French.

I would like for you to translate for the people because it can sound like pantalones and it can sound, if you don't know Spanish, I would like for you to translate for people. So I think the important things to know is some of the key words that are being said. So when you hear them, you already know what the reference point is. So Pantera is panther in Spanish. So that's what we have. Not pants. Not pants for whites. That is a cute little nickname that the Panthers have. Occasionally people will call them the pants. And I always pop for that. Let's go pants. Yeah.

Regardless, Tony, the call after the sing-song of it, he's made it plain. You have five straight calls sing-song on the Panthers, the Panthers have won, the Panthers have won. There's no confusion about, is Marchand, did he get the shot off? There's none of that. No, you could not know Spanish and listen to all those goal calls and come away with the clearest idea of what happened by listening to the Spanish call. Here they go, nice. Marchand, Marchand, Marchand, Marchand. He's goal!

Panthers to Panthers.

They won at the Panthers. The Panthers won. They won. The Panthers won. Silence is everywhere in Edmonton. He did it. Brian Marchand did it. That's what I loved was silence is everywhere. Silence.

Again, nobody said that in any other language. The Spanish painted so beautifully, so perfectly. I didn't hear Edmonton was quiet from any other language. I mean, what other languages did you speak?

English? So the French one, you wouldn't have heard it. They didn't say shit. I can guarantee you that. Silence is everywhere. I like that. The French, it did feel like the guy had a cigarette the whole time. Like he was just chilling. He just had a drink and a cigarette. I thought the emotion of our people is on display here, but how about the emotion of our Metal Ark people? You can now video play the... The happy goal call. The happy goal call. This is not the rerun. This is Roy. What kind of broadcaster was Roy at a time where objectivity was needed? Oh, more shit! There we go.

Look at him. Tolerating fools and incompetence. Woo!

Parrying his teammates to glory. Is that Cynthia? Cynthia goes over just to shake Roy. Like, Roy, this is something. Roy, some life. Roy, have an emotion. If you notice. That was fake. Did I hear someone say Mike is a rat? Mike is a rat? Is that Ethan? Whoa. Is that Ethan? That Ethan?
