Dana White Walks Off Howie Mandel’s Podcast Less Than One Minute After It Starts [Weird]
Not The Bee ^ | 2/14/24 | Chief Nerd

Supposedly he suspected that Mandel was being sarcastic, but Dana agreed to at least appear. Seems like he didn't give Howie much of a chance.

Just kinda strange, at least on the surface.

Who the heck is Dana White? And why should we care?

Howie Mandel is annoying generally, and the intro he gave seemed a bit over the top.

They probably are exhausting talking about the same pablum over and over.

Howie gave a normal flattering introduction, even thanking Dana White twice for being there ...

then White responds with “I’m so f-ing tired of doing podcasts”, and walks off

bizarre

I think something was said before the broadcast started that ticked Dana off. Howie’s fawning introduction sounded like an attempt to smooth things over but the damage was done.

Probably true, but why did he agree to appear at all? Maybe Howie was somehow being sarcastic, but what he said sounded genuine and in admiration of White. If there was somehow a tone of sarcasm, it was hard to detect, but Howie is a comedian after all. He seems quite sincere on AGT. Maybe there’s a history between the two.

The gentleman below would like to suggest a motivation for this incident.

That’s as good a conjecture as any. If that was the case, it’s still weird that Dana didn’t even try to forgive a little and get things back on track.

Maybe they are setting up a cage match between the two? LOL.

It dripped with sarcasm. I don’t see how anyone considers that sincere. Howie is a leftist; Dana White is not.

[[then White responds with “I’m so f-ing tired of doing podcasts”, and walks off]]

maybe he was like i was after years of waiter work- i went into work, started setting the tables up for dinner, which requires walking aroudn the table a few times, and i just stopped and thought “This is nuts- I’m going in circles gettign nowhere financially, and i hate being couped up in a building- I’m so sick of this-” and i gave notice that i was quitting- I did however wait till a replacement was found- but i sure felt like walking out that evening-

He’s so rich though he can just throw his hands in the air and say “Enough!” and walk off-
