Ahhh...the magical age of television.
I don't have to advise you of your Miranda rights unless I'm planning to interview you regarding the crime that you were arrested for. Questions related to booking/processing are not covered. I rarely say to a person "you have the right to remain..." If I am planning on interviewing them, there's forms in the interrogation room that we use. We both read the form, and then we both sign the form.
If your friend was interviewed and asked questions about the crime, anything he said can not be used in court. Other than that, it doesn't make a difference.
Oh yeah, and I don't have to let you make a phone call either, but I will, if you behave.
