The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Local Hour: Miami Is Finland?

19 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What are the hosts' thoughts on the national championship game day excitement?

1.01 - 5.094 Unknown

Folks, I'm getting hungry. And you know my favorite part of any meal, snack, or game day app?

0

5.434 - 18.926 Dave Damashek

That's right. The GOAT, or should I say the greatest of all time, Frank's Red Hot. It's got the perfect blend of flavor and heat that elevates all foods from wings to buffalo chicken dip to even ice cream.

0

Chapter 2: What food and drink recommendations are made for game day?

19.527 - 26.213 Dave Damashek

That's right. I said ice cream. And with a roster of flavors from OG to sweet chili, you can put that shit on everything.

0

26.273 - 31.017 Chris Cody

So make every dish the greatest and eat the GOAT.

0

30.997 - 52.718 Stugatz

You know how during the introductions, boxers hop back and forth from foot to foot to sort of stay warm? Yeah. Mike Ryan's been doing that all morning. And I think it's just because he's so polluted that he's trying to get all the liquor out from this weekend. I don't think he's going to make it to tonight. I think he's going to get there crawling. Lucy might be hurting, too.

0

53.358 - 60.565 Stugatz

But that might just be because she's back in Miami and doesn't like being here. No comment. Mike, what was your weekend like?

0

Chapter 3: How does Mike Ryan prepare for the championship game?

61.388 - 78.231 Dave Damashek

Fantastic, Dan. It's been great playing host, college football world here. I just hope they take it easy on us. It's, you know, greatest team of all time. You know, I said a lot of prayers last night hoping that we can just stay in this, you know, make it a four-quarter game.

0

78.751 - 87.583 Stugatz

I just saw on my TV screen on GetUp, I saw the question. It was on the graphic. Does home field advantage matter for Miami?

0
0

88.945 - 103.437 Lucy

What kind of question is that? What kind of question is that? Do they have home field advantage? Everyone staying in this hotel right now is an Indiana fan. Yeah, you know what? And I can tell because they keep trying to have conversations with me in the elevator.

0

103.457 - 108.388 Dave Damashek

There's a reason for that. Yeah, it's kind of crazy that I haven't seen a single Miami fan staying at this hotel.

108.368 - 120.66 Lucy

But there have been Indiana fans at every bar we've gone to. All the events has been. I think it's going to be more even than it's like obviously portrayed with it being an actual home game for Miami.

120.74 - 136.755 Dave Damashek

I think they're actually going to be shocked at how not home gamey this is going to feel for Indiana. They thought that they were going to fly into this town because no one on my plane is a Miami fan. It's crazy. And they're going to be hit in the mouth by not just a football team, but by the crowd.

136.904 - 141.593 Lucy

I don't think it's going to be a home game for Indiana, but I also don't think it's going to be like 70-30 Miami.

141.813 - 145.14 Dave Damashek

All right. I just don't care what anybody thinks. Well, that's not new.

Chapter 4: Does home field advantage matter for Miami in the championship game?

261.778 - 265.182 Dan Le Batard

Some boys that work how we work, they ain't feel how we feel, they ain't cry how we cry, gang.

0

267.185 - 269.248 Mike Ryan

Guess what we're doing at the party? We're doing it at Bird Bowl.

0

272.793 - 278.342 Unknown

Let's go! Do what now? How Cuban are you, okay?

0

278.422 - 282.107 Dave Damashek

Is talco and baby powder the same thing? Yes, you doofus. All right.

0

282.127 - 283.189 Unknown

What kind of Cuban are you?

284.591 - 288.276 Dave Damashek

Smart money's right here for your life savings, Joaquin.

288.316 - 291.92 Mike Ryan

Oye, la huracan, eh? Stop being a homer, bro.

295.665 - 318.431 Stugatz

I love you, Miami. Billy Corbin. Fake, fake, real show. I'm not totally sure, but I think Zazz is guilty of cultural appropriation. What? I also think that's allowed just tonight for these 12 hours.

318.632 - 320.133 Unknown

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Chapter 5: Why did Dave Dameshek call Mike Ryan 'Finland'?

489.318 - 502.116 Lucy

So I actually don't think that's that ridiculous of a statement. If she had said this last year, I'd be like, girl, you are out of your mind. That is insane. But the fact that they went to the playoff last year, they were a very good team last year. Yeah, I don't I don't think it's ridiculous to say I'm not shocked that they took a step up.

0

502.957 - 522.877 Dave Damashek

It's more than a step up. You know who else was a basketball school? The United States of America going to the Olympics in advance of the 1980 Winter Games, and then they vanquished the mighty Soviet Union, and then there was a little bit of hash to be settled on the other side of that, and they were called Finland. That's what Miami is.

0

523.498 - 544.156 Dave Damashek

The basketball school that is Indiana University is now the feel-good story of these United States, all of football America, save perhaps... Florida Gator alum Zaz and some of his pals down here in South Beach are rooting for the team wearing orange. Otherwise, you are Finland to the rest of football America.

0

544.256 - 568.565 Dave Damashek

You are in the way of the final chapter of the feel-good story that is the Indiana Hoosiers, led by Fernando Mendoza and Coach Sig from Pittsburgh, PA. I like how Dave thinks I have friends in South Beach. It's my crew. That's how much the rest of football America knows between South Beach and all the rest of this vast land called Miami.

0

568.585 - 582.682 Stugatz

Do you have any theories as to why it is that Mike has to leave today's show early for a game that's at 7.30 p.m. tonight? Lucy's going as well, and Mike's the only one that has to leave early.

582.702 - 583.884 Dave Damashek

Mike's leaving in like five minutes.

583.924 - 584.124 Stugatz

Yes.

584.665 - 599.633 Dave Damashek

Why? Why? It's a Canes thing. You just don't understand. That's not true. You went to Santa Fe. I'm not doing this with you today, especially while I'm decked out in Canes gear. Dan didn't recognize me when he got here this morning because I'm wearing a bandana.

599.653 - 600.695 Stugatz

I thought it was Luther Campbell.

Chapter 6: What are the key matchups to watch in the Miami vs. Indiana game?

755.239 - 761.451 Dave Damashek

Miami loves being the villain. See, now we're in our wheel—you just put us in our wheelhouse, Dave.

0

761.431 - 768.502 Jeremy

That backfired. Oh, you think the darkness is your friend. Zaz has already been born into it.

0

768.643 - 773.791 Dave Damashek

Someone else's gimmick. You were trying to make a fun point here? That backfired on you. Congratulations.

0

774.933 - 782.545 Stugatz

Lucy, what do you have planned today? Because our people, we've got a ton of people in town. They're going to be working all day today. We're going to be doing a live watch.

0

782.525 - 803.908 Stugatz

party uh throughout the game tonight uh at 7 30 p.m what do you have planned lucy and again i want an answer to my question as to why it is mike has to be out there and has to leave the show early while zadzlo and lucy who as far as i can tell are going to be doing work for media establishments over the next few hours are not leaving early

803.888 - 827.116 Lucy

In Mike's defense, my schedule right now has allotted three hours for me to get to the game. I'm very nervous about traffic. I'm very nervous about a certain individual deciding to make an appearance at this game. I don't know who it is. Michael Irvin? Yes, it was him. That's exactly it. But so we've allotted a lot of time in traffic. We're going to get there early. We're going to catch the vibe.

827.176 - 831.702 Lucy

And maybe I'll talk to you on the live show, but maybe not. I don't want to make any promises.

831.682 - 838.638 Dave Damashek

He must be a pretty big diehard for the Canes because he not only is wearing orange, he is orange. He got his ass.

840.322 - 845.675 Stugatz

So Damoshek is going to be on the live stream as the voice of Indiana, the lonely voice of Indiana.
