Hochman And Crowder

Jimmy Butler has spent the last two seasons downplaying the idea that he becomes 'Playoff Jimmy' when the Heat enter the postseason. But at this point, following another monster stretch at a pivotal point of the season, it's impossible to deny he hits a different gear after January. 

Senior NFL reporter for the Boston Globe, Ben Volin, joins the show to discuss several Miami Dolphins storylines as we enter the offseason including how much money Tua Tagovailoa should be expected to get in his impending extension, the likelihood of Christian Wilkins returning and the importance of Tua and McDaniel taking their success to the next level. 

Hoch is still hopeful that the Dolphins will be able to work out a deal with Christian Wilkins when he hits free agency but Crowder wonders whether there's another marquee free agent that could be catching the eye of GM Chris Grier and the Dolphins. 

Following Inter Miami's dominance over Orlando City this weekend, several soccer fans are using the Messi and Suarez performances to diminish the overall quality of soccer being played in the MLS but Solana explains to Hoch and Crowder why he believes it is an unfair analysis of the league as a whole. 

Hoch and Solana congratulate Crowder on another successful standup set last night as Crowder had the Dania Improv in laughter all night. 

In hour four, a complete in depth breakdown of today's NFL Combine including combine results, standouts from day 1 and what the leading experts are saying about the NFL draft. 

In hour three, Hoch and Solana settle their format spat spilling over from the end of the last hour. A longtime listener, Roy, sits down live with Hoch and Crowder at the Carousel Club to talk about his decades long struggle with keeping a job. Then, we praise Duncan Robinson for transforming his career and becoming maybe the third most important player on the Heat roster. 

In hour two, Hoch trolls Crowder for taking has family on skiing trips to Minnesota every year. It leads to a conversation about eating frozen foods - Solana reveals his guilty pleasure is frozen corn dogs leaving Hoch and Crowder disgusted. Then, Hoch and Crowder are joined by the Chairman of the Fight For Air Climb, Peter Berger, for information about tomorrow's 20th annual Fight For Air Climb event happening at loanDepot Park. 

In hour one, Terry Rozier just air balled another three! We react to the Heat loss in Denver last night but credit them for fighting back on the last game of their road trip. Plus, Crowder tells us about eating fried gator as the featured milkshake at Mark Light Stadium this weekend includes it. Then, John Michaels joins the show to talk Tua extension and the outlook on the Heat entering the final stretch of their season. 

In hour four, we react to Caitlin Clark's announcement that she'll enter the WNBA draft at the end of this college basketball season. It leads us into a conversation about the oddest NBA draft picks in NBA history. 

In hour three, Hoch wants to know who has the guts for tonight's Heat-Nuggets Finals rematch. We marvel at how easy basketball looks for Nikola Jokic while doing incredible things on the court. Solana tries to argue that LeBron should want his son, Bronny, to go undrafted and sign with the Heat. Then, the best leap day food deals available today. 

In hour two, Hoch and Crowder are ashamed of Solana when he reveals how a wild raccoon ruined his dinner party last night because he was confused with how to handle the situation. Then, Hoch tells us about his day in NYC last week where he was an innocent bystander in an armed robbery outside of a Gucci store. 

In hour one, we prepare for a big night as the Heat are in Denver for a NBA Finals rematch. Then, Jimmy Johnson joins the show to discuss the inevitable Tua Tagovailoa contract extension, Mike McDaniel's coaching style and his upcoming fishing event. 

While discussing LeBron's comments regarding his son Bronny James coming out of college to the NBA this offseason, Solana explains why thinks LeBron should want Bronny to go undrafted and sign with the Heat for the best chance to have a solid NBA career. 

Hoch and Crowder are disappointed in Solana after he revealed that a raccoon showed up in his backyard while having dinner and he had no idea how to handle the situation. 

Hoch tells us about walking by a Gucci store in NYC last week and not realizing a group of armed people were robbing the store until watching the local news later that night. 

Legendary Miami coach, Jimmy Johnson, tells Hoch and Crowder that he believes Dolphins fans should be 'excited' about the Dolphins locking in QB Tua Tagovailoa on a long term contract and enjoyed watching Tua's success this past season. 

Despite his frustrations with Cristobal and the Canes football team last season, Jimmy Johnson tells Hoch and Crowder that he does credit Coach Cristobal for continuing to bring in top recruits which is the most important part of the job. 

We discuss the importance of tonight's Heat game as Miami travels to Denver on the last night of their West Coast road trip. Do the Heat need to win this game to prove they can actually be considered contenders?

In hour four, Hoch has news for Dolphins fans who are still questioning whether Tua Tagovailoa will get a big extension: it's coming and you better get ready for the financials to be monster numbers. Plus, Crowder gets phlegmy and Thomas Bryant will experience an odd welcome home in Denver tomorrow night.
