Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
At some point during this hour, we will get to Oscar nominations. David Sampson is always interested in that. Sinner's got a record number of Oscars nominations, so we will get to that at some point during this hour. As you may know, it has been a very, very rough time for Mike Ryan. He's having the hardest time at life right now of anyone in our universe. And it's my understanding that David Sampson spent a lot of time last night in his busy schedule consoling Mike Ryan. So, David, what can you reveal about that conversation? We all know that Mike Ryan is going through a much harder time than anyone else here in all regards at life because the University of Miami has lost. So how did that conversation go yesterday?
It's just devastation. I felt his pain in a way that he had no way to compare it to anything that anyone has ever felt or gone through because of the pushing the boulder of the season up a mountain and having a crash down upon him with a Roy Bellamy interception prediction that comes true. Never forgive him. Well, that was just an absolute great call. It's as though we were watching the game on tape delay on the live watch party. And for me, my biggest concern with Mike is I wanted to let him know that he can go to the light and that there will be a tomorrow. But he was inconsolable, Dan. I couldn't get him to budge off of his misery. And he was wallowing it in a way that made me gain perspective on what it is to feel upset
So I was very appreciative of that phone call.
David, thank you. First and foremost, because like I do this performative thing for a job. I am so sad. Like it's like legit. I am so devastated. I know you think it's stupid. I didn't go to school there and all that bullshit. Who thinks it's stupid? I see. I see all the comments. What do you get out of this? I get a lot professionally and personally like that. Being a Golden Cane and the network that that's afforded me has been tremendous. And I love the community that I have around my family. And I care so much. This week has been really hard for me. And it was cool to be buoyed by David Samson, who has nothing else going on in his personal life.
Yeah, listen, I'm here for you, Mike, and I'm with you. I was in sports for a long time and basically 17 out of 18 years ended in misery for me. And then you have the comparison, which which you have because you've been a part of champions before. When you know what it's like to win it all and you get close and don't do it or don't get a chance to do it, you say to yourself, am I ever going to get back there? Will I ever be in a position to have one drive for a national championship?
What are the highlights of the University of Miami's recent struggles?
You could live your entire life and the entire life of your family and not be in that position again. Question, is it better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all, Dan? And that's what we spoke about for about 41 minutes.
What is your greatest sports heartbreak? What is the one that you have still not gotten over?
Ewing off the back rim, Game 7, Eastern Conference Finals, 1995. Easy.
It's a finger roll.
How did David Samson console Mike Ryan during his tough times?
How does he not make that? It was just a finger roll.
I'm out of here.
Peace.
It was right. It was in front of me. I was watching it. I thought we were going back to the finals. You know, Jordan was still suspended. And so for me, it was, I'll never forget it. I think about it every day, Mike. And this is now, I don't want to bother you, but this is 30 years ago. And I think about it every day.
