What is the significance of the Fiesta Bowl for Miami?

Mike Ryan 0:00
So yesterday, professional critic Mike Ryan explained how it is that I don't do the shadow show well enough for his liking on whatever his visions were once upon a time for a shadow show.
Amin Elhassan 0:13
Starting low again.
Mike Ryan 0:15
The thing that I always wanted the Shadow Show to be is like a private meeting we were having amongst ourselves that the audience could overhear how we actually interact as if we didn't know the microphones were on. That was the original intent of what the Shadow Show was supposed to be. Lasted all of about a week.
Unknown 0:32
That's how we talk to each other off air. We whisper.
Mike Ryan 0:34
No, so the way I imagined it is the following. You laugh, Roy. You laugh, Roy. Because it's funny. Roy, but I'm very frustrated, okay, because I'm going to let the audience in on what was the private meeting, which was the private meeting was just me sitting in the middle of the room, squatting, and then rising up my palms and just asking everybody in the room, bigger! The game needs to be bigger! And then we fart out that intro yesterday. And I'm like, no, bigger, bigger. Like, what do you guys not understand about we've been waiting for this football game for 20 years in this town, pro or amateur? Like, bigger. And everyone's looking at me. We're tired, Dan. The muffins are good. We don't want bigger.
Mike Ryan 1:16
We just want to eat and watch the game. I'm like, let's do a live stream. Let's do 24 hours straight like freedom. Bigger. And everyone's like, Dan, I've got kids. I got, you know, we got practice.
Unknown 1:27
You were muffins yesterday?
Mike Ryan 1:29
I want to do 24 straight hours leading to this game.
Amin Elhassan 1:32
Blueberry.
Mike Ryan 1:33
Too late. I want to do... Mike Ryan does, too. He's snorting the West Coast right now. Mike Ryan is... Do you guys understand? He said earlier this week, with no self-awareness whatsoever, he's like, you guys think I care about UM football? Mario Cristobal cares more. That's insane. That's a thing he said. I sure would hope so. And now he's running around telling everyone Martin Cristobal, that meathead, is a genius.
Roy Bellamy 1:57
Well, have you seen his offensive line play?
Mike Ryan 1:59
He's the modern. You don't watch the games, Dan. He's in the cult. That's right. If you watch the games. What do you mean if I watch the games? I'm watching all the games just like you are. Not for my box, you're not, Dan. Not moving and shaking with the UM women's basketball team fundraising, Golden Kane. He's everything the country hates about Miami.
Unknown 2:18
That's a damn nice box he has, though. Sure is. You guys been? Me and Roy went once. We got the invite for the Stanford game.
Mike Ryan 2:25
I genuinely, I genuinely don't know if there's anything that would make Mike Ryan happier. and he loved the Panthers winning, than the University of Miami winning this championship.
Unknown 2:38
We gotta talk about that. That's the best thing for the show, right? Is for them to make it to the championship game, but then to get absolutely annihilated. That's what, from a content standpoint. By Indiana. That's what we're rooting for, yeah.
Mike Ryan 2:50
By like, what? How'd that happen? The best story, yes, is Indiana dragging them like they did Alabama in the final.
Roy Bellamy 2:57
I came back after our two-week break, actually for the first time in a really long time, ready to root for Miami. I was like, you know what? It's cool for the show.

How does Mike Ryan feel about the Miami Hurricanes' chances?

Roy Bellamy 3:04
It's the local story. I care about Miami teams in general. Mike broke that. Within about two hours of the show, I was like, f*** that team.
Unknown 3:14
First segment.
Mike Ryan 3:23
break him show let's go fake break him show fake break him show biggest game in 20 years mass kicks ass how does it rub you we put it rubs me beyond the wrong way fake break him show you think that your family would get a lot of joy from malaki so did we head to head it's
Dan Le Batard 3:49
Hello. Just having fun, man. And boom goes the dynamite. Big, big show.
Yeah.
Mike Ryan 3:56
Bigger.
Unknown 4:15
Bigger.
Mike Ryan 4:27
Bigger. Biggest game in 20 years. This means more to Mike Ryan than any sports thing ever. I have to imagine even the Panthers winning multiple championships. I believe Mike Ryan, who's flown across the country to be closer to the Fiesta, I believe Mike Ryan would be made happier by the Miami Hurricanes winning this football game and the next one than he would by any sports thing that's ever happened in Miami.
