You're listening to Giraffe Kings Network. Internet consensus to God is always funny. So it was interesting to see a whole lot of Sunday morning or Monday morning quarterbacks the other day say the very same thing, which is, what kind of idiots decide to jump Cam Newton? That is what everyone's reaction is, however, I'm here to simply stop you, no matter what I thought it would look like, I didn't think it would look like that.

I didn't look, I didn't think it would look like Cam Newton, His hat is gonna be totally unfazed. That video doesn't even get as much run as it got, if not for the fact that his hat never moved while four guys are jumping him. He's throwing around one guy with one arm and he's got another guy in a head block. It's like out of a movie. He is swatting kids away from him. I mean... The whole thing, everyone's reaction was the same. How could you be so stupid?

And I talked to some people who work in MMA and said he did that perfectly in a situation when you're getting jumped. What you do is you move away because everyone, everyone has the same target and if you start moving away, you use their momentum against each other Where would Cam Newton have learned to avoid being the singular target of 11 people trying to jump him? So you saw this fight and you said let me reach out to MMA people to break down his form? I just happened to be with them. I wasn't doing reporting. I just happened to be with people who were watching the video There were not feathers in that hat right that was all his hair

I think that it was an open hat with his hair coming out the top. Yeah, that's right wrong But there weren't also feathers there may have been it was grainy video. It wasn't great. It's a fair question In fairness though like video quality for incidents has gotten much up since, like, there's a Pruder film, right? Yes, there are more people videoing, and I would say to you that when you're saying the video quality wasn't great, I got a number of angles, which I wasn't expecting, which means people are very quick. If people are jumping cam Newton around me, it's going to be many reflexive thoughts I have

before I get to let me video this. I'm gonna have a lot of different thoughts. So I thought the number of angles there was impressive as you complain about not having enough angles. I think anytime anything happens now, the first reaction from most people is let me videotape this. Are you jumping in a safe cam or what?

I would have to be right? Out of Dan oil. He's your buddy. I don't believe I will be involving myself in a place that will get me hit in the back of the head with a bottle. I'm going to avoid those situations generally. Jessica, to your point though, one of the most shocking times that I learned that in a way that made my heart feel heavy is I heard a gunshot outside of where it is that I live and I would then later learn that a tourist in the middle of the day had been shot in

You know just sitting in front of his wife and baby, but I hear the gunshot and all I see is people running over there with video as opposed to running away the gunshot and all I see is people running over there with video as opposed to running away from the gunshot, people running to the place in order to get their cameras out so they could be the one on only in date or whatever. Big win for the TSP crew, right? Yeah, who was that?

That's what everybody said after that fight. I think that was the consensus. That was the biggest takeaway. Yeah, it wasn't why are you fighting cam. It was like, who is that? That's what everybody said after that fight. I think that was a consensus. That was the biggest takeaway. Yeah, it wasn't why are you fighting Cam. It was like, who is this TSP crew? Because everyone's had a tent camp, got in a fight with a TSP crew. So everyone immediately went to Google who they are.

Bad day for aggregators. The first person says the TSP crew, and then nobody does the research to figure out who that actually is. Everybody just keeps re-sharing the same video with Cam in a fight with the TSP crew until we all have to come in here And ask each other who the hell is the TSP crew the one guy that cam has by the back of the collar He's like ooh, this is not a this is not a good position for me

He drags him if we can play the video again He drags him from the tent out like 25 feet to the fence on the other side I Know that everyone thinks after the fact that they knew how that would go. To see him be that immovable, it goes without saying. All of us, I think, understand that he's a very large human being. If you asked Billy Gill about three weeks ago, apologies for the voice there, vacation, driving through the heartland of North America, Dan, it's tough, Indiana did this to my throat. But if you asked Billy three weeks ago,

Cam Newton, you fighting him, he'd tell you no. No one that sees him in person thinks it's a good idea to fight him. You have to be a moron to see him and think, let me go run up and punch him from behind. True. The fact that he restrained himself and didn't punch anyone back is like a miracle.

That's not prime shape, Cam. And that is another important point. Dan, Dan, be very careful. He's not in his prime? Dan, he's an incredible shape. He's a brick house. I'm not disputing that. He's outside his prime.

He's still in better shape than 99% of my MMA friends. Yesterday they said, don't f*** with Cam Newton. He's in incredible shape. The guy is jet. Dan, he's in incredible shape. Billy, I am not disputing that. He's not in prime cam shape. Don't argue with me about this.

He's simply not. He's not in MVP of the league shape. Like, what are you talking about? Yes, of course, he's built unbelievably well. And also, he's out of football. Like, I'm saying nothing shocking by suggesting that he might've been fitter when he was MVP of the league than right now.

Who disagrees with that? I may disagree a little bit because he might've been a little bit more slender, a little bit more mobile. Now he's just putting on the muscle, right? Like now he's working out to be big. So you guys think he's stronger now than when he was MVD at the time? Yeah, I think if I was on a 7 on 7 flag football team, I wouldn't think, wow, he looks like he's out of shape, let me go punching. I didn't say out of shape. Yeah, this is insane logic. That is not, you guys.

It's prime punching time for him. He's built like a linebacker now. We're saying he's built, let's just get this straight. Straw man. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's better, he's in better shape now to fight off these people than he was

when he was either A at Auburn doing it every game by himself or as a 25 year old in the NFL? We're saying that now is better. He won the fight without hurting anyone, right? That's what he did. That part's amazing. He realized he could not hurt anyone on camera. Well, yes, that's what he was thinking about

at the height of being John. You saw the stuff. You have to dance. Where are the cameras? Yes, no, I think. Don't punch anyone on the camera. I think a lifetime rich person is careful about who he punches, generally speaking. But I also think that the point that Billy makes is a good one.

Among the many things in that video, there's nothing more impressive than his hat not moving. But among the impressive things is that at no point do you see him throw a punch. He's throwing people around move using their momentum against them by Simply moving them around all of them much smaller than him Somebody came in at the end with a haymaker that unfazed him as well Somebody came in with a very strong punch, but it was like trying to punch the eighth floor of a building like it wasn't He wasn't quite getting up there. Do we know if it reached?

I don't know, it looked like it had a lot of momentum on it, but fizzled out at the end when it couldn't get to where Cam Skull was. He looks like Gulliver fighting Liliputians. But those didn't seem like small people except for being next to Cam Newton because they were not small compared to everyone else that was there. They were only small compared to Cam Newton because they were not small compared to everyone else that was there.

They were only small compared to Cam. Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan. Now, you've had the distinct privilege of knowing me for close to 18 years. And you know that I've changed. A lot of my personal life has changed. I've changed as a professional. I am a parent now. My level of involvement in my favorite college football program has also changed. But one thing that hasn't changed for me is my favorite beer. You know when it's real with me. I think you do anyways. And you know how much I love Miller Lite. I've loved it forever, really.

It's my favorite beer of all time. And it made all the great moments in my life all that much better. And when Miller Lite came aboard on our show, I was super stoked about it because I believed in the product. Because every time I take a sip of Miller Lite came aboard on our show I was super stoked about it because I believed in the product because every time I take a sip of Miller Lite I look around and I think yeah, this was the right call. Times change. People like me can change but you can always enjoy the great taste of Miller Lite. Tastes like Miller time.

I want to, Stu, guys, to talk about another fight, the one involving the Miami Heat against the Pelicans. Right. Sullivan, we've got now someone in our camp, Stu, guys, who does some of the stuff that

Allison used to do. He used to find people, she used to find people very quickly for us. Can we find the fan, the heat fan that was ejected from this game over the weekend? Was it Friday or Saturday? But the fight involved choking people, it involved Jimmy Butler saying it's that time of year, which I don't think it's that time of year yet.

It's not, is it just that time of year? We're getting there. But is it that time of year just when Jimmy says it's that time of year yet. It's not, is it just that time of year? We're getting there. But is it that time of year just when Jimmy says it's that time of year? Yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah, when he decides he's ready to play and he wants to show up and put up 23, nine, and seven or whatever he wants to do, this is what happens.

He played really, really well through the first few quarters and then gets into a fight so he doesn't have to play tonight. Can I ask a question? Load management. So we, whoa this whole, the best discipline team. This doesn't seem like a discipline team. Wow. Hardest working most discipline, discipline, this isn't discipline, running around, hitting people,

throwing people around, getting kicked. The discipline is on the court. This happened on the court. No, no, no, no, in your play. You're watching the play and playing some defense. You're literally on the smoothie king logo. They're 31 and 25, I mean. This doesn on the court. No, no, no. Watching the play and playing some defense. They're 31 and 25, I mean. This doesn't seem like a discipline game to me.

You know what this was called, Billy? Lighting a fire for this team. Oh, please. The same way Rick Petino did, all of a sudden, look, St. John's Red Storm, big win over Creighton a couple days ago. I saw that. Come on, all of a sudden.

Maybe, but Jimmy fights somebody. You know what I like in this video? Jaime Huck is Jr. in the cut, in the mix, fighting with his big dog. That's what you wanna see when you're a rookie. You wanna see a guy in the middle of a fight getting with your best player and doing whatever he was doing here, right here.

Look, right there we're gonna try to get, somebody throw a punch, let me get in there. You did do a thing. He's just being pushed. You gotta be seen. That doesn't seem like, exactly. You gotta be seen in the mix. That's what it is. You gotta be seen. It doesn't seem like it. Exactly. You gotta be seen in the mix.

That's what it is. You gotta be seen in the mix. Let me explain something to you. This is what it looks like is, Jaime Hacas is floating out to sea is what it looks like that the current is... Being taken by the current of the fight. The current is simply sweeping. The king tide has swept him.

But Tony is right. The key to showing that you have your brother's back is just by being in the mix. Exactly. Like there's a picture of Duncan Robinson right in the middle, and it looks like he's in the mix. He's not doing anything. He's actually smiling.

But Dan, the key is you have to be in the picture. The best one was Nico Jovic, because he actually ended up getting suspended a game for this. And what it was is when Jose Alvarado and Thomas Bryant started fighting a little bit after this part of the scuffle, you end up seeing Nico Jovic run over and he gets held back by somebody and looks like he wants to throw a punch and it's great because he never actually had to. That's the best part about it.

Zion said it wasn't dirty. It wasn't dirty. I mean, Kevin Love was trying to help him up and it escalates to that. And then Jimmy loves to talk and people with the heat love when he talks or fans of the heat. I don't know if the heat organization loves when he talks, but he says a whole bunch of different stuff. And one of the things that he said to God, it's not just that it's that time of year as he was shouting that at the crowd, but he also said afterward, we're better than they are and we'll beat

them again that way when they come to play us, which is not something you hear very often in that sport. Very few guys will just simply say we're better than they are. Now that was, you know, purposeful and strategic based on the fact that emotions were high and whatever the disrespect was of having someone's hands on his neck is why it is that he's saying that. But very few people actually do that. Just say flatly, we're better than they are. When this year they're kind of the same as they are. But what, to me, to me, I know we

love the noise and the drama and that stuff, Stugath, but the single most impressive thing to me about watching that was what happened with Bam afterward, where Zion couldn't do anything against Bam. And Bam did whatever he wanted on the other side. That was a little jarring to watch because I think of Zion as a unique kind of strength specimen. So to see him not be able to do anything against the length and athleticism of BAM, one-on-one, I'm used to Zion doing whatever he wants against everybody one-on-one. What makes BAM so spectacular defensively is his ability to kind of bang with guys that weigh more than him. His biggest issue is when he goes up against someone like Joel Embiid or

Brooke Lopez who has that type of size against him, but his length and athleticism and then on the offensive end. I mean he became the focal point of the heat offense for the rest of the game hitting shots down the stretch and when Jimmy Butler gets ejected to see Bam step up as the alpha dog for that team to finish that game and the reason Jimmy says they're better than the Pelicans by the way I believe they've won seven in a row against the Pelicans so he knows that come March 22nd when the Pelicans come back down here that's gonna be one of those perfect troll games for Jimmy. But we're not surprised that Jimmy's saying that right like I

know you say it's not the norm in the NBA for players to say hey we're better than that team but for Jimmy it is I know you say it's not the norm in the NBA for players to say Hey, we're better than that team, but for Jimmy it is. I mean it is he's done in the last couple of years, right? I don't know why you're registering surprise for me. I'm not surprised I'm just telling you that he's one of the few people in the league who will do that and he's done it for a long time He says whatever he wants without very much encumbrance. Can we get? The video of the fan who was ejected though? And I'd like to try and see if we can find this person and get this person's story,

because this felt like Maximum Miami coming through the arena, walking up, pulling up his pants, pulling at a too tight Wade jersey. Here's a little tight. But it's just, it's Maximum Miami Miami in New Orleans just wants to be in the middle of the fight is shouting at people has a drink in his hand again pulling up his pants as he goes up the stairs and is ejected representing Dwayne Wade and Dade County Wade County in

general just doing it the way exactly, that's why everyone hates Miami. That guy is perfect. Just everything climbing up the stairs there. That's better than the Pelicans fan who was throwing stuff into the fight. Did you guys see that? There was a fan a few rows up who was throwing drinks into the fight, where Lucky it wasn't another one of those

malice at the palace situations at the Smoothie King Center. What quarter did this fight happen in? Beginning of the fourth quarter? I'm surprised the Miami guy was still there That's why everyone hates Miami They're used to seeing them walk up the stairs in the fourth quarter We were having an editorial meeting before the show Dan I don't think you were there for and it was are we just if we have this guest on If Sullivan's able to track this person down and we have this guest on are we just, if we have this guest on, if Sullivan's able to track this person down and we have this guest on,

are we just enabling bad fan behavior in every away arena, hoping that we bring them on the show? Like, are we just encouraging heat fans to go out and be obnoxious and misbehave at every road game in the hopes of getting on this show? And I said yes. Good.

That's what we're doing. EP today. I want to know what we're doing. EP today. I want to know what the details of the story are. I want to do reporting that's not just talking to my MMA friend. I'm sure he was minding his own business and he's a victim in this whole situation. Look at him. He looked like someone who was just behaving himself. I'm sure he said nothing.

He was just saying, hey, thanks for having me. Great seeing you guys. Oh, I'm kicked out. Oh, sorry. I wanted to show you guys something here because Stugatz was annoyed with me because one of the things that is fun in South Florida sports because we do have an unusual number of broadcasting people who have come up through a team with a team and not unlike Eric Spolstra have stayed with the team And so I've been legitimately made happy by seeing Steve Goldstein

embed himself in the Panthers organization and then to watch people who Work for the Panthers get this kind of team and this kind of run where you're nationally relevant, you're interesting, you're annoying, you're a very good team. I'd like to play for the audience here, some audio and some video of the end of a Games to Gots against Washington because I thought the goal was the goal call and the goal decal. I just thought all of it was really great the way though to listen to the escalation here as you've got So few people on the ice and it's late. It's over time and the next goal decides it and listen to this Strip the way by Gustav Forsling! Milano again, stripped away by Sam Bennett! The Panthers trying to win it! It's Bennett! It's Forsling!

Let's go home, baby! Just swipes it! It over time! It's a cool call and all of it, they're gonna have to pay Forsling, aren't they? They're gonna have to start paying a lot of money for people. I don't know. Yes, I know, I wasn't asking you.

I was talking past you. But let's check, I want you guys to, I just want you guys to watch only Milano here. Just, because this is a, Milano had trouble sleeping this night, like just watch Milano the whole way on this because it's just brutal for him. Look, he gets the puck middle of the ice, you can win the game right here,

or I stripped one time. Then he gets it back, then stripped again. Now keep watching him, keep watching him, trailing the play, trailing the play, trailing the play. Oh no, Ben, it's gonna do this. Oh my God, right in my face. Right in my face. And so that's happened to me. Oh my god, right my face Right my face

That's happened to me playing sports where the disaster Holy Is hockey is like the people playing ice football You guys were quick to pounce and you didn't even hear. I said I said playing sports and you guys what? No I know. The visual on skates there. I understand what you guys did there. Kendall Isarina. But what happened to me is funny enough without having to put me on skates. Like it was playing sports. It's playing basketball and seeing the thing that you feared most in your head before it actually happens, and then it happens to you

as you're running trying to chase the play down. That's me playing life. What happened to you? I'm just telling you that I imagined the scenario with a lack of confidence of things being stolen from me, and then it all being my fault at the end, like not even being able to point to anybody else. That's correct.

We found video of you playing sports, Dan. Yeah, thank you. The ice hockey football that you wanted to put up there. We really should go skating as a group, though. That'd be so fun. It would not be. I grew up figure skating, not really, but kind of. Did you do this thing?

I quit by the time I was eight. It did it. I was never that good, Billy. Oh, your headphones came unplugged. Ooh, he hurt himself. We should definitely go skating as a group. Billy would be excellent on skates. No, have you not seen?

We have video somewhere of him trying to rollerblade into the creek under. Oh, I see, yes. It would not be good. That is different. Billy. I'm a good skater. I'm a good ice skater. You just injured yourself spinning in your office chair. Well, the thing snapped back and hit me in the twig and berries, you know what I mean?

Oh. I don't believe that ice skating or roller skating. Both of those things seem like good ideas until you're actually doing them. Put it on the pole, please, Juju, at Levitard Show. Is roller skating a good idea right up until you're actually doing it? Which one would you feel more confident doing?

I think ice skating for me. Really? Roller skating. Why would you be more confident? Well, first of all, I'm falling in either scenario. One of them is on the cold and hard, and one of them's not cold and hard. I'll take not cold and hard.

I don't want to be sliding on something wet and cold. But ice skating, you probably have more clothing on for than roller skating. Roller skating, especially down here, people wear in various degrees of unclothed. And if you fall, you're gonna get blood everywhere. I stopped rollerblading. I have a pair of rollerblades that were worn

a couple of times and I stopped when I realized how high the fall was happening from. And I can't do it, I'm not gonna do it with elbow guards and wrist guards and a helmet. Because I'm not gonna have any of that tan levitar, loser, struggling, not doing it well. Oh my God, can you imagine seeing that in the wild? That would be incredible.

Only a day would have a field day. Better safe than sorry. The rollerbladers down here though are the most confident people in the world. You're absolutely right, because they're wearing like little Speedos or Bikinis or whatever, and they're on the pathway on Miami Beach that's like made out of bricks, so if they fall, they're getting hurt, but they're wearing like little speedos or bikinis or whatever and they're on the pathway on Miami Beach that's like made out of bricks

so if they fall, they're getting hurt, but they're not falling, they're so confident. They're weaving in and out in a way that I will never have that much confidence doing anything. You were like 20 miles an hour. Same, they're the most confident people on earth. I have been jealous of the confidence that those people have.

I saw God in 87th Avenue one time. Like three weeks ago, he was just learning how to roller-blade. So I'm driving down the street, and he's there like really trying, and then all of a sudden the move goes where he tries to push, but the skates fall behind them, so he's like,

I'm in here. I'm like a parallel. He's parallel to the ground. Looking down at his horn. As I tried to bite my horn. Bebam! We went and support or what? That's a foul point.

No way, it's not support. I know you fell, but come on, just keep going, baby. And that's the least confident guy in Miami right now. I saw this morning on Rollerblades, somebody with the confidence to wear just a white Speedo on Rollerblades. And I was thinking... Was he an MLB player?

I was thinking about chafing. I was thinking about... You think a lot, man. ...about aesthetics. I Was thinking about who makes that choice? How why what is the rest of this what factor? What is the rest of this person's life look like? And just like that wearing a white speedo rollerblading that's exactly it looked like It looked like Walter White at the beginning of Breaking Bad. They looked like...

And Tiny White is what they looked like! Spoiler alert, jeez. The beginning. It's not a spoiler. It's the opening scene. It's the first 12 seconds. I haven't gotten to it. Same here.

Spoiler alert on Breaking Bad. Yeah. There's a whole prequel series. There's a reunion at the SAG Awards yesterday. Did you watch them? SAG Awards, that guy in the Speedo. series. Whether you're hosting a game day, a movie night, Dijorno knows that planning a watch party on a budget isn't easy. You need the perfect setting, the perfect squad, the perfect eats, and luckily you're

a game time mastermind and you know that grabbing DeGiorno classic crust pizza can bring home the dub because it's packed with half a pound of cheese, sauce and other toppings and comes at an incredible price. Make the game winning call and grab a DeGiorno classic crust pizza from the grocery store today. It's not delivery. It's Dijorno. Don Lebatard!

David Sampson, weirdo. Because he was not the fun substitute teacher who wheeled out a TV and play a VHS tape or Armageddon in science class. He was the weird one who would eat an egg salad sandwich while clipping his toenails into the trash can and ranting about Ronald Reagan. Stugats. The guy kept talking about how his ass was smooth, smoother than a newborn's cheek. He wouldn't stop bragging about his bare buttocks to me.

This is the Don Lebatard Show with the Stugats. Juju, please put it on the poll at LeBatard show. Have you ever honked your love and support for anyone from your car? I'm not sure that what Tony was doing there was loving and supportive. Absolutely not supportive. It was I saw that. It was I saw that and I want you as you go down to know that wherever it is your shame resides, your lack of dignity,

you weren't able to do that in private. I caught that from over here, and I'm gonna honk so gently that you're gonna be able to tell, I'm not honking at anybody else, this is not rage based, I am simply showing you, I saw that, and I will take it with me and laugh about it days later. There was nobody in front of me,

I was just honking to show support How is he dressed he was dressed not like he should have been for rollerblading So like was he going to work then cuz then you know, it's just even worse No, this was that like I want to say four o'clock in the afternoon like I'm fighting Maybe he was going somewhere. I don't know but he was wearing shorts and like a t-shirt, but no guards on his elbows or knees or whatever. So when he ate it, like he ate the entire pavement. You have to, if you're going to go rollerblading

for the first time, you have to do the helmet and the knee pads and the elbow pads and the wrist pads. And don't you? Yes, but in a very private place, if possible. Yes. Why? Who cares? That's embarrassing. Trying to win homecoming queen? Who cares? What difference does it make?

Yes, Billy is right. Just own it and don't be confident. Be bold. These roller skaters and these roller bladers don't worry about this stuff, about the ones who are all over Miami and they are everywhere. They are peacocking and they are resplendent with confidence.

We've all noticed it. We all want an envy, the kind of confidence these people have just rolling around shirtless and knowing they're not gonna fall. The more I think about it, the more I just think everyone in Miami has an absurd level of confidence. It's just maybe other than Billy.

It's part of the deal. I knew you were about to doubt me. We will get to DJ Khaled's confidence in a moment because I saw what he did yesterday and it was ridiculous and funny and amazing really but before we do that Jamie and Andrade has been found and I'm very happy about this. Wow. Sullivan is pretty good.

Jamie and thank you for being on with us. Where are you right now? Right now I'm about a little less than an hour from TD guard. That's where I'm from actually. Alright so. I'm from enemy territory. Okay so you're a little bit cold an hour from TD Guard. That's where I'm from actually. All right, so. I'm from enemy territory. Okay, so you're a little bit cold down here right now. All right, so you're a Miami and living in Boston?

I am a Miami Heat fan, yeah, and I live close to TD Guard again. Okay, so what are you doing, Boston? I do pipe fitting. Okay, and so what brought you to New Orleans? What was the occasion? Well, I was on vacation for birthday. My sister got me tickets to the game for my birthday, so we were out there. You know, just enjoying the culture and just wanted to catch a heat

game out there while I was at it. And so what happened? Take us through what happened. Honestly, I was just, you know, being a heat fan. I had pretty good seats. We were like in the third row. And then I was just heckling the whole game, just being a heat fan. And then they just, I guess they got sick of me after a little while. It was basically when the scuffle happened with the players. That's when they was, that's when they was just like, yeah, we're going to get everybody out of here. I don't know. I really did nothing because the funny thing is that people don't know when they first

kicked me out, like when you see on video, they kicked me out, sent me to security. And then when they sent me to security, they said, oh, you guys got the run guy. You got to escort him back. And then they escorted me back. And as I'm coming back down the stairs, they grabbed me again. So they kicked me out twice in one shot. All right. So hold on a second.

So what happened? So they kicked you out. They thought they had the wrong guy and then didn't have the wrong guy. Did they have the wrong guy? Honestly, honestly, I'd have no idea. And the crazy thing is when they first kicked me out, they brought me downstairs through the elevator and everything. And then as soon as I got through the elevator, they're like, oh, that's not the guy.

You guys got the wrong dude. So you got to escort him back. They escort me back. I'm going up the stairs on the. So right that row right there was row 113. When they escort me back, they escort him back to row 115. So then I go up the stairs to go around

and come back down 113. And as I'm going up the stairs, the people from that row recognize me. I go up, go around, and as I'm going back down to heck with those same fans, I thought I was getting kicked out. But before I could even go down the steps, they grabbed me again.

And when they grabbed me again, they literally brought me down to security and they told me, oh, it's NBA Kota conduct. You can't swear in the in the arena. So they really told me I got kicked out for swearing. They said, I'm not bad, but I can't come back today. But are you the right guy? I mean, well, well, I know I'm the guy that got kicked out for sure. Yeah, but I didn't do anything wrong

I really have no idea what happened. You didn't deserve you didn't deserve you didn't deserve to get kicked out You were heckling and you were cursing yes, I Mean I was just saying you know the pelicans and But the thing is when they when they brought me downstairs they kept saying no you're good We just want to get a copy your idea and want to bring you right back Like they literally told me I wasn't getting kicked out. They told me they was going to get a copy of my ID, send me back, and then they didn't do that.

Tell us how it is you became a Heat Fan. I actually became a Heat Fan because of D-Way when I was young, and then just stuck with that. It's been a Heat Fan since. How does that go for you in Boston? Terrible. Surrounded by nothing but Celtics fans, but it was great last year.

And the last five times, four of the last five times you faced him in the playoffs, so Celtics don't have nothing for us. Did you at any point- Celtics have nothing for us? Did you at any point become a Bulls fan and a Cavs fan or no? I wasn't a Bulls or Cavs fan, but I was looking for D. Wade when he was there though. It was a little

Custom yeah, I call it was cursed sounds like Pelican security We will see if we can get him get him back he has That covers a lot of terror That covers a lot of territory. That covers a lot of territory. Put it on the pole please at LeBatard show. When you're saying you're quote, just being a heat fan, is that automatically grounds for ejection from any stadium in the world? He's back.

Did you see the video where like the Pelicans post game show was just overwhelmed with fans chanting, let's go heat in the world. He's back. Did you see the video where the Pelicans post-game show was just overwhelmed with fans chanting, let's go heat in the background? And I'm like, did we come into the wrong arena? Jamie and William. I was one of those. I was one of those. How the hell you got me out?

This guy's a hero, Dan. Listen, listen, listen. The funny thing is they didn't let me back in the building. But I was right by the door behind the announcers. So I was screaming right in that building. I didn't care I was waiting for all the Pelicans players to come out so they could hear me. I didn't leave that arena So like maybe a few hours after now, maybe a couple hours after the game was over. I didn't leave I wanted to be a last one out that building

I was I was the first one out the building, but I wanted to be last one out the parking lot area Let's let's play for him this video and just give us or some play-by-play You don't have to adhere to the video play-by-play, but just take us through what it is That's happening here as you're leaving the the your seating area So everybody kept saying get the mind you everybody's swear at me get the Heat but they could swear and then all I'm saying is I'll be back. I'll be back This is my arena now and I said 305 till I died I was like, no smile. I kept on saying this is our arena now because the funny thing is

You know when Jimmy Butler was when Jimmy Butler was getting kicked out and then he he points at the crowd He any balls is fixed up Yes, I Was literally right behind the heat bench So when he was looking up at the crowd and doing that and cheering, that's he was cheering towards, towards me getting kicked out. Are you from Miami? I'm not from Miami. Three oh five till I die.

But I do travel. I do. I do travel there as often as I can. My sister's a flight attendant, so I fly for free. I'm everywhere. I'm everywhere that he go. I'm going to everybody. And the funny thing is I'm going to that Heat Pelicans game

March 22nd. They're going to hand me again. They're going to see me again. I'm trying to find a way to get free tickets if I can, because I deserve it. You know, I'm the number one heat fan there is out here. I come to work with my heat hog hat on. I don't play no games.

Because I was going to show that right now. You know what you know, I got too much layers on but all right I'll get you tickets. I'll get you tickets Do it Dan, but you did it. Thanks. You were gonna He's great. Thank you for asking he is he's 80 years old shuffling around the house and doesn't want to be around us anymore He's done with the whole thing. I mean, this guy can schmooze.

Big fan after you got him tickets, Dan. Yes, I did notice that. No, I was going to lead off with that, but you guys asked me questions a little too quick. Thank you, Jamie. And we appreciate it. Anything else that we need? Anything else that we need to know?

What are your heat bonafides? You got heat tattoos? What else do we? I'm from Boston. What changed? How did the few minutes or the few hours after the game go when you know the video started spreading well there was just people hitting me up from all platforms Twitter Facebook Instagram it was it was kind of crazy I didn't really get to get back there but I kind of I kind of for a few seconds got to feel how it is to be a low-key celebrity

Just saying thank you was too many messages to get back to it was a little bit ridiculous Well, it still is it still is but not as bad as it was the first couple of days Thank you for making us making time for us in your schedule. Thank you guys. Thank you guys We appreciate it. Just look out for me. Just look out for me in the next Miami Pelicans game and when we're facing the Miami I'll be there all right we will get you tickets I promise you tickets I'll get you tickets are you going with them or I am not going with him go ahead and promise him you gotta go with me bring you know what I'll buy you and Stugatz tickets. I like that. I like that. It's been poppy into the game too. I'm scalping mine.

See you later, Jamie. Thank you. I appreciate you guys. Stugatz, can you tell me and tell the audience, please, what it is here that Mike McDaniel is wearing in this video that we're going to play of the Dolphin Coach, who doesn't give off a lot of Don Shula he doesn't look like yesterday's Dolphin coaches. That same championship mindset okay I can promise you the team in that stadium that's playing there next year and for every every other year following that we'll be chasing that

championship mindset each and every year So he did a mic drop without doing a mic drop. What is he wearing though? It's it's like orange and white towels. It's matching shorts and when I call Dina He's got he's got he's got fashion sense. He does. He's a very confident dresser. No dolphin coach has ever dressed like that. I'm guessing Vic Fangio doesn't dress like that. Dave wants that. I hate Tony to translate with that. Una Cortina, he's wearing Una Cortina

that my auela has. A curtain? I have that exact same curtain. Yes, a curtain. It's an old woman's curtain. But how would you, is it flowers? Is it orange flowers that's on matching drop shorts and shirt white and orange?

A very Miami look. I think Cougs owns that matching set. Yeah, I don't think there are a lot of people who can pull that off confidently. He needs to win two more games this season if he wants to keep pulling that off. Hey, he's got the confidence to live in Miami, right? Like we were just saying, Miami people, the most confident people on, you're right.

He lives in Broward. He lives in Broward. Never mind. Never mind. He's talking about championship mindset and for a while the joke at his expense is going to be go ahead and win a playoff game. Go ahead and win one of those

and then we will allow you to wear flowered cortinas. Hey folks, it's Mike Ryan. Now you've had the distinct privilege of knowing me for close to 18 years and you know that I've changed. A lot of my personal life has changed. I've changed as a professional. I am a parent now. My level of involvement in my favorite college football program has also changed.

But one thing that hasn't changed for me is my favorite beer. You know when it's real with me. I think you do anyways. And you know how much I love Miller Lite. I've loved it forever, really. It's my favorite beer of all time. And it made all the great moments in my life all that much better.
