The 25-year-old was seen being led away in handcuffs by police after smashing up a guest room at the Waldorf Astoria hotel earlier this month, before he was released the following day after spending the night in jail, according to reports.
'They just wanted to take me to jail,' Garcia said when Bilzerian asked why the hotel didn't just charge him for the damage.
'Everybody trashes a hotel every once in a while. Who hasn't?'
His comments left Bilzerian, Eubank and Co in stitches before he added: 'Am I wrong, Dan?'
Garcia is set to spend a year away from boxing after receiving a suspension in the wake of his recent failed drugs tests.
The super-lightweight star tested positive for banned substance Ostarine the day before and the day of his win over Devin Haney in April - having also come in almost four pounds overweight for the fight.
Despite claiming he is the victim of 'supplement contamination', on Thursday he reached a settlement with the New York State Athletic Commission, agreeing to serve a one-year suspension and forfeit his $1.1million contracted purse.
Garcia's win over Haney - the biggest of his career to date - was also officially changed to a no-contest.

Following Thursday's settlement, Garcia and his team released a statement in which they maintain his innocence while pointing to the alleged 'substance contamination' which they believe led to the failed tests.
The statement reads: 'Ryan Garcia was a victim of substance contamination, with levels measured in the billions and trillions of a gram, which provided no advantage whatsoever in the ring.
'Ryan, with his legal team, has resolved this issue and firmly maintains his truth: he never intentionally took any banned substance. It's simply not in his nature.
'For many years, Ryan has voluntarily submitted to random testing, even during out-of-competition periods, and has never had any issues. He has maintained an impeccable and clean record throughout his career, significantly elevating and transcending the sport of boxing, earning respect and admiration from millions of fans worldwide.
'The fans will always remember his performance against Haney as a masterclass, and that will never be erased. Ryan will continue to elevate the sport and will be actively involved in advocating for reform. We hope future changes in our system will address issues like this one.
'We want to thank all of the fans who have continued to support Ryan, not only during the great moments but also through the difficult times that life brings. He will be back in the ring soon and better than ever!
