This is the Dan Levitart show with the Stucats podcast.
This episode of the Dan Levitart show is presented by Draft Kings.
Draft Kings.
The crown is yours.
No pause.
I just saw an assassin walk into the other room.
I saw all of you get out of the way a little bit.
We have a guy who is a violent finisher of combat sports.
He is a strike first guy.
And he's built out of rocks.
I saw what just happened out there where a sea opened up to him as he walked in
because it is a fighting machine that has walked in here.
Ethan?
Oh, there he is.
Oh, boy.
Dan, he's got some mitts on him.
Went to shake his hand.
I was like, damn.
Big hands.
Cheetos walking away.
No, no.
The side, well, it's not just that they're big hands.
It's that their hands made out of rocks.
Those are blunt instrument.
He finishes fights with them.
He's a violent finisher.
Yuri Prohaska's the guy we're talking about who's fighting across the street at the Casaya Center on Saturday, April 11th against Carlos Olberg for the light heavyweight title in the UFC, and he is a scary dude.
He's taking our water machine for a walk right now.
He's trying to figure out how to use it.
It is tough.
I'm just glad he wasn't here yesterday when that stupid-ass water machine was doing April Fool's.
I know.
I hated that.
Hey, just pour my water.
He pushed the water button and it would just say April Fool's on the screen.
Just stupid.
It probably got the vitamin boost.
That's what you do.
That's the move right.
He's going cold.
I can tell he's going cold.
He's got to be careful what he puts in his system before a fight.
He better not have any Cuban coffee.
He won't be allowed to fight.
Should we have Fuentes make some Cuban coffee for him?
He'll get banned.
He will succumb in the face of, yes.
This person, bring him in here, please, at his leisure.
Don't hurry.
Don't hurry.
Don't hurry him.
Request his presence in here.
He's going to open the door.
Be it.
I mean, don't look down.
Okay, but just so Amin knows this is a proud samurai who honors the mixed martial arts by being an assassin striker in the fighting game, and those guys are always unusual champions and creatures.
And, I mean, he agrees with me on all my heat takes.
And mine on Marlins' attendance.
Yeri, welcome. Thank you for being with us. I admire your violence. I admire your training. I admire your discipline.
Thank you. Oh, guys.
Thank you. So you're fighting here across the street from us and what I've read about you, your training regimen is, it seems crazy.
Crazy for who?
Ah, I got you there, Dan.
Yeah. Maybe crazy for somebody who don't know that. But what you mean especially?
Jesus Christ.
Yes, I'm not, rest assured, I am not questioning your training measures. I'm saying that to be great at what you're great at,
The way that you punish yourself in training seems to take a mental strength that is really unusual.
You know, every high-level athlete, the sport on the top level, is not so healthy, not so usual, not so normal.
That's why we have to be like a little bit above the normal line.
So and I like to go through the through these levels
Which is like behind the normal so why why are they laughing what? Why are you guys that I admire your violence?
I admire your violence is that do you get that compliment all the time? T-shirt
Yeah, I just I just see the video yeah the punching to the tree yeah, but this is like you know
This is old me. This is all me who did all these stuff and the child. This is not old me.
to punch and work on my garden.
But to do, like, sometimes I'm trying to do, like, really crazy stuff.
Like, to punching tree.
This is not good idea, you know.
Like, it came from the Japanese style to punching the makivara.
Makivara is, like, wood stick, you know,
and they use that in karate to punch that.
And response from that stick is,
that give you energy back to the body.
So you can know where is the space
how to tense the body in the right places
to be stable, to have a right technique.
But also hardens your fists so much
that they are rocks.
You cannot hurt your hands almost by striking anything, correct?
That's right, that's right.
But it's not so smart to punch like the big tree.
So like I did on video.
So I changed a lot of things.
But I like to do these videos and be a little...
Well, what is this video here?
What is this dramatic breathing and ice work?
What are you doing here?
Man, I like the challenges, you know.
I like the challenges.
And this challenge was especially one year back.
It was 6th April 225.
Oh, this is terrifying.
You went under ice water here and you can drown at any point.
point if you get lost here and how long are you underwater?
There was like 35, 35 seconds.
35 second, you swear.
But you can die.
Yeah, it's incredibly dangerous.
Yeah, yeah.
It's terrifying.
Yes, it's terrifying.
But it's about the calm the mind and every aspect of your life.
And these challenges gave me the opportunity to control myself as much as I can.
So that's why I do these things.
And this challenge, last year, the swimming under the ice, was like, you know, like when you're trying something first time in your life, like sex.
You know?
I'm listening.
Yeah.
Go on.
You do that.
And then you know, then you know.
Till that moment, you don't know.
You don't have.
He's right about that.
You have just imagination about that.
But after that, you really know what is about that.
Once you do it, you know about that sex, me?
Yes.
I know all about that sex.
So that was especially these thing, because it was really totally another role.
So you experiment, you search for these extreme training methods.
What's one that you did?
And after he said, I'm not doing that again.
Which one of these?
Yeah.
One that you did.
And then he said after that was a bad idea.
I'm never doing that again.
Man, I will do all of these things.
But what I learned, do it more professionally.
You know, I did many times.
Like, I just took the back and all these equipment.
And I just went to the mountains somewhere, somewhere.
I didn't take a map.
And I just went to the mountains.
And I lost myself.
And I just tried to survive there for a few days.
and it was not funny.
Then it was just not funny and it was like just survive.
This is careless, though.
You went into the jungle to live for two days and you had to kill your own food
and you had to find drinking water and this is not smart.
Yeah, this is not smart.
This is really not smart because you have to know the rules.
But why are you doing that?
You don't have a death wish.
You're trying to challenge yourself.
That's it.
That's it.
Maybe that's it.
That's why I'm trying to challenge my mind to stay calm.
every aspect in every every situation to be calm to be ready for whatever will come yeah you know and
how dangerous was this jungle like what it what are the things that happened that you weren't
expecting as you're trying to be calm in all circumstances which which one you mean
when you're saying that you're spending two days in the in the jungle or in the forest for two
days trying to survive that you in in mountain in mountain mountains yeah snow mountain mountain mountain
no food
Rocky
Yeah
Yeah
Any wildlife?
Yeah
Yeah
Like bears and wolves
No no no
Just some
I didn't saw anything
But just
You hear it
You hear it
In the
Something
Something around your
Your town
What noise did you hear?
Yeah
Some noise
Some
Was like
Woo
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Something like
A turkey
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
That's what
That's
Yeah
But
You have to stay
That's like
I said
You have to
stay calm, you have to stay, you have to know what to do because in another case, you will,
you will just, you will just freeze yourself, you know, you have to know what to do.
When you were climbing that mountain and the things were happening in Mexico back in the day,
how was that for you when everybody started telling you like, hey, there's like explosions and
fires happening and like you were on the top of a mountain? How did that feel?
you know which mountain it was it was it was a great sentence
which mountain it was as the rugged warrior that samurai says
I've climbed so many mountains which mountain was this
no because there was a many mountain I think and one of that
was one of that was it was not in Mexico there was one too also
but there was one in Iceland and
One guy took me by Uber there to the mountain and he stopped and more I can't go more.
You know, there is a snow, there is a bad, really bad snowfall.
I can't see anything and the bad way and the mountain is not good today because they just know how to read.
You hate to hear the mountain's not good today.
This is how every Dracula movie starts.
So I went from the car and I said him,
wait here for me two hours I will go there and back and I'll be I'll be there yeah and so I
I just ran to do to and I wanted to see the the top of the volcano you know the
volcano but not far so I ran ran ran a place a human being shouldn't be yeah of I don't I don't
think so I think that there was there was something like but but not usually so is there a path
It looks successful.
There's a path on the road or you just go?
No, you just see the top.
You just see the top and you just go.
Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right?
Don't place parlays on multiple long shots.
Don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit triple zero.
Always drink your Yeagermeister ice cold.
That's the rule.
Everything else is merely a suggestion.
Everything else?
Everything else.
Wearing clean underwear every day.
Well, that's just a personal decision.
Brushing your teeth.
Obviously smart, but not a rule.
Never pee-pee on an electric fence.
Okay, maybe there are two rules.
But the one that is 100% that I insist on completely,
Yeagermeister must be drank ice cold.
Or don't drink it at all.
Damn, that's cold.
Exactly.
You're finally starting to get it.
Drink responsibly.

Hey, it's Mike Ryan.
And I want to talk to you about the random midweek hang
that you have with your friends.
Maybe it's an NBA game.
You get a text,
hey, come over, you want to watch the game,
and maybe you're like,
I don't know,
I kind of just wanted to stay home.
And then you think about it.
After your buddy hits you up,
and you know just the thing
that'll make that regular hang,
that regular midweek hang around the basketball game
into a special time,
into a Miller time.
That's right, this happened to me just last week.
I grabbed a six-pack of Miller Light,
said I was on my way,
and next thing you know,
we're arguing about rotations
like we're on the coaching staff,
yelling about a miss call
and the game's coming down
on the final possession
and it's one of those nights
that you look around
you take a sip
and you think yeah
this was the right call
and my friendship's stronger for it

Hey, Roy, buddy.
You know that energy shift when the game gets good,
and everybody altogether in unison knows to stand up on their feet?
Oh, absolutely, Mike.
Yeah, you've been at many big-time sporting events.
You know that moment quite well.
That's what it's like when you take your first sip of Cuervo.
Oh, delicious.
It's the signal that says, we're not checking the time anymore, pal.
It's when small talk turns into stories.
Quervo, man.
It's at high-five a random stranger effect.
That's right. The game is popping. You're hugging people you never met before.
That's the kind of energy that Cuervo brings. It's so smooth. So delicious.
That's the Cuervo effect. Keep it, Cuervo.
Don Lebertard.
To us, residents.
Oh, wow. That's pretty good. It's in there. It's better.
I think I haven't been practicing?
Stugats.
I didn't realize we had a substitute complicated legacy.
Brought you by headquarters Toyota.
441 and Powerline Road.
Second 9.
This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats.
You insist on living big because what you're doing in UFC 327,
when you pour everything you care about into a single night
because you want to be a champion,
you've been working for this night all of your entire life.
You have something about you that, if not a death wish,
wants to challenge yourself to the biggest possible, you know, embarrassment, consequences.
Because what you guys do for a living is an unusual kind of courageous to fight other men for money.
We are warriors.
In all the cultures, in all the human history, this is the first sport.
This is the first competition of the men's.
You know, that was the first competition.
There was no football or hockey or tennis or whatever playing with the balls or whatever.
No, there was a who better?
Who's better?
Me or you?
And we fight.
And that's the original...
There you go, Dan.
We fight.
No, but he's at...
That's the original sport.
It's the first one.
That's the essence.
That's the principle of the fighting, of the competition.
Yeah?
Then it changed for balls, for...
For soccer, for whatever.
But the most primal of them is the fight.
The most primal is the fight.
Yes.
And we gave some ethic, ethic
and some rules into
to these age, to these fights.
So we have MMA here, UFC, and here we are.
What introduced you into training this way?
I'm assuming when you started you were training traditional,
and then something told you, I need more.
I need to go to the mountain, I need to swim under frozen water.
I have to do more to be a champion.
What started that for you?
Fear.
Fear.
I hate fear.
No, no, I don't hate fear.
I want to be, I want to be.
I want to be so deep, so in so deep contact with the fear to see through him.
Because he's just, he's just shaking the mind.
He's just shaking your emotion and asking you, is this, are you sure in this?
Are you sure in this?
Are you stable here, here, here?
And I don't, I hate these, these type of questions inside myself to myself.
So that's why I'm doing all these things and trying to be a little bit closer, a little bit closer, a little bit closer, a little bit closer day by day to the calm mind to see, see totally through.
There's no such thing as fearless, correct?
Yeah, that's it.
But you want to be so comfortable with fear that you do not fear it.
Man, I would like to say yes, but it's daily, daily work every day, every day.
say I'm a master of that, then you lost that.
Because then you started to be,
then you started to be,
oh man, I don't need to do anything more.
No, you have to every day.
Because every day there is a new challenge.
Why are they laughing back there?
Because they're just nodding along.
Here is a fearlessness.
And they're showing me.
This guy?
And they show Jeremy for some reason.
He's afraid of everything.
I'm constantly fearful.
Yeah.
You can tell my looking at him.
That's good. That's great. But you can, but I appreciate you, you can say and be honest, I'm, I feel fair.
You got to stare through the fear. Yeah. But you have to stay. Don't just, I, I am, I fight through it every day.
You have to, yes.
Showing up to this workplace where they're going to call out how fearful I am, that's one of my fears.
When you look around the room here, like, you know, as fighters, who do you think here of us would do the best in the cage?
One more time, sorry.
Like, who would fight the best?
Look around the room here, all of us.
Who's fighting the best?
Yeah, who do you think?
Man, sometimes it's, sometimes the, the guy who looks like.
Like Jeremy.
Yeah, me.
The most no fighter, he's the best.
You know, it's not about the look.
It's not about the look.
It's about the skill.
It's about the skill, self-confident, and being ready to do,
whatever is necessary.
If I tell you right now, how long
would it take you if the assignment was
to kill him, to kill Jeremy?
How long? And you have to do it as
fast. It has to be fast.
Me? What's the fastest? Yes. What's the fastest?
You're allowed to. It's okay. From right now,
if I gave you permission and no consequences.
I give you the championship.
I give you the championship next week.
All you have to do is go there, kill him
as fast as you can. How long does
that take you?
Yeah.
Why this question?
Why this question?
I know you like all these types of questions, but...
It's okay, I can take it.
It's not about the time.
It's about the time.
I need to overcome these, whatever it is.
The most time would be walking into the room.
It would take you longer to walk out there and here, you think?
That's the adversity he's facing, Jeremy.
It's opening the door.
He said there's a chair in the window.
That's just surprise me. I agree.
You also have to account for him running.
New fear unlocked. He'll catch him.
He will catch him.
UFC 327, sir. Thank you for being with us.
Good luck.
Thank you for allowing us some insight into your mind.
I'm fascinated by guys who choose to do what you do.
Dan, I have more questions.
I got a couple more questions.
Go ahead.
Yeree about to be a father for the first time.
Hey, welcome to the future to be born.
Very soon.
Congrats on the sex.
Very soon.
And congrats on all the fear.
You know what it feels.
I was like now.
Congrats on all the fear training.
Nothing will prepare you for this.
I was going to say,
you spent dark room for what,
three days,
two days,
no food,
no water,
just in there focused.
Nothing will prepare you
for having that daughter in your hands
for the first time being like,
I have to make sure
that she breathes every single second.
Like I just had a daughter.
She's,
well,
last year,
my wife did.
But not me.
You know,
you know,
huh?
Are you asking about his kid
or just talking about yours?
I'm telling him my experience
so he can be ready for his experience,
which is in the hospital,
I had to sit there and stare at the baby every single second to make sure that she was breathing.
So it's like all these, yes, all these trainings that you do are just outside of Carlos.
Forget about Carlos Holbrook this weekend.
Forget about that.
This is the most important fight that you're going to have is you and a seven pound baby for six months.
I understand, man.
But right now, no, there is no other other things than the-
And Carlos?
Than the mission next week.
Okay, take a money line.
Yeah, I believe that my girlfriend will handle these thing and everything will be all right after a fight.
But I have my mission and she have her mission about that.
So you'll be ready once you get the strap over your shoulder.
And Carlos, then baby.
Tony, you tried to tell a charming tapestry of story of how great it is to be a father.
And what he's telling you, he's been working all his life for this week.
Yeah.
For Carlos Holberg.
That nothing else matters other than the baby that makes him fight in the mountains.
There is nothing more important than this week in your professional life, correct?
That's right.
That's right.
And I just believe I just believe that I can do my mission.
I can be successful in my mission.
And my girlfriend, I believe in her.
I believe she can handle all these moments right now.
she's like in the, you know, the last tree.
At the finish line.
Yeah, in the finish line.
And so we are in contact every day and we are selling to depover each other.
So we have everybody.
We have our fights.
Thank you, sir.
Good luck.
Thank you for being with us.
Thank you.
Thank you too.
Awesome.
Going for two when you're up by five.
Switching the zone when man isn't working.
Oh, and building your new stadium in the state your team actually plays in.
In sports, some things just make sense.
You know what else makes sense?
Drinking Yeagermeister shots.
Ice cold.
Drinking it any other way would be like,
punting on first down,
or letting your worst hitter bat first,
or like going for two when you're down three with a second to go.
It wouldn't make any sense.
So don't let the team down.
When it comes to Yeagermeister, drink it cold,
or don't drink it at all!
Yeagermeister, damn that's cold.
Drink responsibly, Yeagermeister lique.

Don Lebatard.
While there's nothing official and conversations are still ongoing.
Was that a fake chefter?
It was pretty good.
It was excellent.
I feel like there's legs.
I tried at the beginning and then I lost confidence in it.
Why?
It was good.
It was good.
You got this.
There's nothing official.
Yeah, it's so good.
And conversations are still ongoing.
Stugats.
It is trending towards Nick Siriani, remaining the head coach of the Eagles.
This is the Don Lebatar show.
with the Stugats.
I am legitimately amazed that Mike Ryan got away earlier in the show
with leveling what I believe to be the greatest praise you can to baseball in this market right now at this time.
He said, quote, I had a really decent time at the game.
Whoa.
Yeah.
That is the biggest praise I have seen for Marlins baseball from Mike Ryan
because he went home and on the way home.
He caught excellence for two hours quick and easy, too quick for,
for Tony's liking because Sandy mows them down too quickly and he wants to go with his baby.
The pitch clock is like the pitch clock is back.
20 seconds.
All right.
Back to 20 seconds again.
20 seconds.
Like, no man,
let me enjoy this.
Let me let him wind up.
Let him do one of these.
I'm on to you.
I'm on to Tony with this.
I don't like it.
I need the catcher throwing some signs.
Him saying no, waving him off.
I need a lot more conversation between them.
Yeah, I mean,
it's no surprise.
I was having beers with the boys.
The sum was out.
The Marlins played well.
I was in and out.
And all the things.
that I've been openly complaining about the sport
have been resolved and fixed.
And yeah, you do all those things.
You give me a nice afternoon.
Of course I'd have a great time.
I'm not so stubborn that I'd be like, well,
I've been saying baseball sucks for several years.
Let me turn my back against this.
I've been giving the sport a try.
I've been enjoying the games on TV.
I like the style of play.
I love the pace.
Yeah, they're on an uptick.
Was it open air?
Did they open the top?
Sandy doesn't like the roof open,
but the window in the back was cracked open.
Right behind the bar.
The ushers are very kind.
You can pretty much sit anywhere in the house.
Oh, no, that's my favorite place.
The thing about that place, there is, because some of these places,
some of these buildings, some of these ballpark, some of these stadiums, Dan,
it'll be empty.
And then you go and sit and they're like, hey, hey, I'm like, come on, guy.
They go every other section at Marlins Park.
So if you walk by an usher, you're a sucker.
Yeah, I mean, there are ushers.
I went to them.
I walked by an usher.
He had no problem.
Yeah, they let us sit where we wanted, which is.
part of the appeal for a getaway day, I guess.
But yeah, I went closest to the sun, and I had a good time.
I'm excited about the team.
I like what I saw.
I saw a couple.
What's with baseball, though?
There was a ball that went over the fence, and everyone was like, is that a home run?
What?
The ball went over the fence.
Why was there any kind of discourse over the Liam Hicks one?
It was like, no, there's this little gap.
If it hits the top, I'm like, ball go over fence, home run.
What are we doing?
I want to show people the range that this show has because it's not pitch clock here in a little bit that will show you that.
It is the difference between two kinds of ways to measure toughness.
When you're talking to a potential UFC champion who's very intimidating and he does this.
Whitey's question.
Versus what was happening right before he came on with us when David Sampson was dealing with what he was describing as a major.
animal.
Not.
It's really not
there is a major
animal in this apartment.
I don't know what I'm going to do here.
Hold on.
So earnest.
I can't do a show like this, Coca.
There is something that is going to hit me.
What is Coca expecting there?
Like a pigeon inside his apartment?
I just thought of it.
Holy cow.
Hey, we're live.
I don't like, can you imagine doing a show like on a
safari? Oh.
Sorry.
Got him.
Can you guys please just enjoy for a second the special insanity that is doing a show by yourself.
They're tackling difficult subject matter and being distracted by the smallest bug because your life is filled with fear at all times.
And so you stop doing, he's doing a live show and there's no one there to help him.
And he is totally distracted by the fact that miles above, the tiniest of insects is flying through.
and now he can't discuss anything
and he can't say,
Coco, help me.
Because he's totally distracted by the prison.
In the meantime.
He has no help.
And so he's distracted by a fly.
And then he just kills it on air
and is proud of himself.
Welcome back to the right time
with Bomani Jones.
Something got caught down my throat.
It took him longer to kill that bug
than I would have been killed.
Yuri's terrifying, right?
He's horrifying,
I was, at every moment,
I was worried Dan was going to say the wrong thing
and then he would start pummeling
and Dan I'm going to say right now
if he started pummeling you
I would have joined it
out of fear
Get him!
Look the size of his hands, their palate
It's terrifying.
And they are made of
like he, they are made of rocks
Like you shake his hand
And it's like sticking your hand in a coral reef
Like there and when you put it out
There's a barricud on like it's just bit
You're like
I couldn't stop staring at his knuckles
I said, holy shit.
At one point I realized he had two watches on, and I wanted to tell Tony,
but I was too afraid to say it out loud and do the comms,
because I thought he might hear me and kill me.
Well, he wouldn't hear you because of the cauliflower ears, right,
which are like the seventh thing you notice.
Again, all of him has been hardened.
No.
You wouldn't have said it in front of him.
Don't pretend.
He had no problem hearing.
He had a question.
What did you say?
The second watch is to time himself as he kills Jeremy.
Well, when he walked out to say goodbye, and he goes,
where is this guy? I was like,
he wants to say goodbye, right? Like, in a
nice way? I've watched him
fight several times before. I always
knew that he was long, but I was
impressed by like the shoulder and I
had never during an interview of I've been like,
I'm going to put a hundred bucks on this person and I did.
You're telling me somebody knocked that
guy out twice? Somebody
somebody who is scarier than that guy.
If we were ever to have that guy here,
that would be terrible. This place would get fumigated.
There would be nobody here.
At least I know I could curry favor with Zins.
The only reason he gets to fight for this title is because the guy who beat him twice vacated this title to go up.
To go up a division to get his third title in a third different division never been done before in UFC history.
Yeah.
That's how bad that guy is.
Well, speaking of never in history, give me the stat of the day music here, please.
Start of the day, start of the day.
This year, start of the day.
Start of the day, start of the day, start of the day.
Start of the day, start of the day
This year's start of the day
Start of the day
Start of the day
In this year start of the day
Amin, I'm glad you're here for this
Please put this in some sort of context
That the people can understand
This is from NBA stat
Over the last 15 games
Victor Wemba-Yama has 400 plus points
150 plus rebounds, 50 plus blocks
30 plus 3s made a 15-0 record
No one else in NBA
history could match that stat line, even if he took the best 15 game span of his career
in each category separately.
Yeah, I was thinking about that.
As I was listening to you say the numbers, I was thinking, maybe David Robinson,
and as soon as he hit three, he's like, nope.
And that's a difference maker right there, is that the first X amount of numbers in that stat,
there are been some incredible big men in NBA history.
Do I think flirt with that?
David Robinson,
Achim Elijah won,
but once you enter three-point shooting into the equation,
we've never seen anyone be as dominant inside and outside as Victora Menyama.
And we'll still grow?
Yeah, I mean, look, he can still get better.
His shot, which is good, can get better.
It's still not very consistent from three-point range.
His handles can get better.
And as always, we keep saying this, he gets stronger.
However much power he's added since last season,
He's still got a ways to go, particularly when we talk about core strength, that inability for people to just push him out the way or knock him off of his trajectory.
Did you guys see who it is that got into the Hall of Fame?
Do you guys still care about?
The Basketball Hall of Fame, a little easier to get into than the others.
But Elena Deladon, Candace Parker, Amari Stademeyer, Doc Rivers, Hall of Famer.
Doc Rivers is a Hall of Famer.
As a what?
That's a coach.
one greatest coaches of all time.
I mean, that's not my opinion.
You could ask the NBA at 75.
They voted me as one of the 15 greatest coaches.
You can ask, well, you can ask the players that I've coached.
Kevin Cardette, Paul Pierce, Blake Griffin.
They would say that you've lost a lot of games,
a lot of game sevens, that's a Hall of Fame resume.
That's probably four player and coach, actually.
No, just as a coach.
And also, you've got to win a lot of games in order to lose a lot of game sevens.
I don't see Bill Fitch up there.
What's the kid, Will Hardy?
Will Hardy hasn't lost in the game sevens.
You know why?
This team's terrible.
It's not Blake's fault, though.
He's not there.
He hasn't even played there.
Why would it be Blake's fault?
It's not his fault.
That's what I told you.
It's not played's fault.
But Blake doesn't have anything to do with anything.
He's in broadcasts.
He's been out of basketball for a couple of years,
and some of them were spent with the Nets.
Hence, not his fault.
Hey, it's Mike Ryan, and I want to talk to you about the random midweek hang that you have with your friends.
Maybe it's an NBA game. You get a text, hey, come over. You want to watch the game, and maybe you're like, I don't know.
I kind of just wanted to stay home. And then you think about it. After your buddy hits you up, and you know just the thing that'll make that regular hang, that regular midweek hang around the basketball game into a special time, into a Miller time.
That's right. This happened to me just last week. I grabbed a six-pack of Miller Light, said I was on my way,
And next thing you know, we're arguing about rotations like we're on the coaching staff,
yelling about a miss call.
And the game's coming down on the final possession.
It was one of those nights that you look around, you take a sip, and you think, yeah, this was the right call.
And my friendship's stronger for it.
