You're listening to Miller and Moulton coming at you from the floor Meister Studios Floor Meisters keeping it real and now here's Mark Miller and David Moulton It is the bonus hour of Miller and Moulton and Jacksonville and Tampa, St. Pete. Thanks so much for being with us Miller and Moulton Miller and Moulton comm Miller underscore Moulton on X Our poll question is simple one not Easter related this year. We've done all the candy questions. I think we can do So we just took advantage of the final four on the men's side getting underway tomorrow and just said okay Tell us who's gonna win Not the whole thing but just win on Saturday so that they'll be playing on Monday. What's the game? We're gonna see So Miller Moulton both went with Yukon And of course since Mark picked Michigan to win the whole thing It's going with Michigan since I picked Arizona win the whole thing going with Arizona Curious do you agree with Donnie Tyndall who we had on last segment in which he wonders will the North Carolina job speculation around Tommy Lloyd the Arizona head coach does it have any impact at all on Arizona's performance Boy, I'll tell you he didn't do himself any favors with how he answered the questions when he won to get into the final four Well, right. I mean you just have to because if you leave it open if you don't come out and say I'm not interested. I'm gonna be at Arizona next year. Anything else is Yes, he's in line for the job Right. Well in the Vandy coach, you know, he's obviously was not going to get it because he already negotiated a new deal Which means he really wasn't under consideration for the job Right or he was just long enough so that his agent could get him an extension. Right Right, that's what Miller and Moulton are waiting for by the way one time. We just want to be in consideration For another gig so that you know, we can negotiate and get ourselves a better deal Problem is if I'm in consideration for another job. I'm negotiating with you for more pay You know now that we kind of all right, I know we're kind of screwed there I know if you leave for another job David here, I'm just gonna tell you right now. I don't have any extra money for you And you know that here's why you keep the checkbook for the account I do you know exactly I'll do money we have and hopefully there's some new sponsors jumping on the board on board. I'm working on it as we speak Did you see What happened at the April 1st game with the Washington Wizards. Oh my goodness. I heard about it And I think I sent you the video actually you did so it's the April 1st game. It's the halftime promotion They bring out a contestant and they blindfolded and it was a $10,000 shot from half court And the guy misses and he misses, you know badly shot it over the backboard. He's blindfolded first off It's a stupid promotion to think that you got to make a half court shot and you have to be blindfolded for it For 10 grand it should be a hundred grand. It should be a million dollars I mean 10 grand for a blindfolded shot seems a bit ridiculous well He shoots the ball They have a bunch of mascots there because the Tigers mascot was there. I don't know much about the mascots birthday I don't know what the hell it was but all the mascots go nuts the gal that's on the microphones going crazy The crowd gets into it because they get what's going on and they're going nuts and this guy kicks his blindfold off And he's hooping and hollering and they're handing him the big check for $10,000 and the woman who's running the intermission says do you want to see the shot? Of course, he says sure they put it on the jumbo tron and they show the ball go over the top of the backboard and Tell him that it was an April Fool's joke. I Thought it was funny I'm sorry It's mean, but I'm snarky By the way, someone did suggest if you were listening earlier I called David Skippy because of peanut butter and he got very mad at me Someone did suggest the name of the show Skippy and snarky. I thought that was funny. Oh It have to be snarky and Skippy, but yes, I like it a lot Do you do you think it was in bad taste doing that at half time of a game? You're trying to entertain 20,000 people or in the Washington Wizards case probably 10-5, but Okay, you here's I need to ask one question They ultimately ended up giving him nothing, correct. They gave him an autograph Jersey or something But yeah, basically, so it's a wizard's autograph Jersey. Yeah, see to me It's funny and it works Okay, if you then go oh by the way Here's 10 grand Okay, if you make it seem as if okay, you're making you having fun at his expense April Fool's what have you? Okay, but then at the very end you go But you know come to think of it for being a good sport Happy April Fool's Day and slide them a little something something What if it's just a grand because I don't have to give him the 10 I don't make it I had you a thousand bucks. Yes, that's tremendous It's not life-changing, but hell who wouldn't want to be handed $1,000 right and four tickets to a future game. Yes, totally Yes mm-hmm I'm fine with that, but otherwise issuing an apology Yeah, well like people were so offended by this that they had to issue an apology That's the world we're in right now. You play a practical joke. I thought it was reasonably funny, but I'm a snarky sov And they have to issue an apology. What the hell what the hell David? Well, they issued more of an apology than tiger did for crying out loud. Well, certainly All tiger did was call the president right just uh boy here we go Here we go I will say how many times you think the big fella's been quoted Okay, roadside Okay, I don't know I mean by the way I mean really It's one thing to have his number, but to call him in the middle of the day When you're in trouble on the side of the road. I mean We got a few things going on right now. You know tiger. I'd love to help you. I'm in the middle of iran planning Okay, I got to get back to you and I'm firing the attorney general. I got to go By the big guy. I thought he was calling god um So it is it is Easter week after all. Yeah, I know uh I don't I do think they needed to do better than a jersey though that to me the it came off as They were making fun of him Okay, or that it came off as a little more than just having funded his expense And it's kind of like what did he do to deserve being the butt of a practical joke? So to me you have to reward him for being the butt of the practical joke And I agree with you a thousand would have been fine Total you I mean think about all of us would have been like for a thousand dollars Do whatever you gotta do Sign me up. Yeah so Okay, but I mean Washington did proclaim more guilt in this than tiger did that's all I'm saying Oh, absolutely tenfold And I gotta admit Of you know, I wonder Uh, and we do have a lot of police officers that listen to the show whether they're in the cape whether they're in fort buyers Whether they're in collier county whether hopefully in tampon Jacksonville I'd love to know on the text line Who you know because I ended up watching a lot of these videos and you know, there was the What was she was she an assistant district attorney? and Connecticut I believe And she was all drunk at a bar and she started playing the don't you know who I am When she was getting kicked out of an establishment for being too drunk and ended up losing her job And you see it all the time on these videos of people You know, whether it's a local county commissioner or whatever the case and these guys get popped and try to play the don't You know who I am card He didn't play the don't they they he knew that they knew who he was he threw out the I was just talking to the president right that is I mean, you know come on now of all the things to say when getting a dui I just called the president is one I never thought honestly David. I never thought I would hear that Well, I not even from the vice president I Listen, you know might discuss that that video was even made public Even though I want tiger to be taken down 17 notches. Okay. I think that's unfair to him and Anyone else in that situation? I really do. Okay, but also it's it's awkward. I mean if you had handed the officer the phone Okay, at which point the person on the other end says yeah, who am I talking to this the president? That's one thing But they just mentioned Okay, yeah, I was just talking to the president. Yeah. Well, that's great. You license the registration I mean Do you can you call the president on speakerphone? I I don't think that you can I You're probably encouraged not to I mean that you know Because the one thing that I've dealt with more recently and it's happened when I've been here and but it you know It's bad enough that people get on their phone and public these days that they because everybody does what when they're on the phone They talk louder than they do in a normal conversation. Yes So I it's always bothered me when people are in a restaurant on the phone And I've seen it in the waiting rooms when I've been at Moffat and I'm like you really can't walk out in the hallway you you can't do that but the ones that do it on speaker are 100 times more annoying than the person that's just on the phone and a lot of people on cell phones now Talk on speaker. I do it when I'm in my house by myself. It's just more convenient But I don't do it in public Jeff you ever gone up to anybody? Who is either a talking very loudly in public or b on a speakerphone in public? Uh, I did it at my country club There was a guy at the bar on the phone and I started talking so loudly next to him That no one at the bar knew what I was doing and then I verbally undressed him when he got off the phone And had no problem. Like I thought it was the first time I was going to get a letter from that place Because I'd be rated him in front of the whole place and told him what a jerk. I thought he was for doing that Needless to say I've done it a few times because well, I'm not shy uh at all Not shy and when they look at me and go what I go none of us can enjoy our meal because of you So if you're gonna keep talking, I'm gonna keep talking I said, can't you just get up and go in the lobby and come back? Or call them back. You're eating I can't believe you do it. Okay with the people sitting around you at the table surprised. They don't go Dude, get off the phone. We're eating Well from this point forward if that's you and you're doing it and someone like david or I approaches you What you need to do is simply look at the person who comes up to you and tries to belittle you for beating on the phone And just simply say I'm on the phone with the president Oh Tell them I say hi, but tell them you'll call them back Good bad ugly today was the day when what's on tap 25 minutes ahead Welcome back to miller and malton text the guys what's in your mind at 21 000 That's two one zero zero zero and now here's david malton 21 minutes Past the hour good bad. Nugget what's on tap today was today when Some final thoughts a pick or two It's all coming up poll question So who do you have tomorrow night in indianapolis two winners? Who they gonna be? Who you got playing monday for the title women's final four by the way is tonight in arizona Yukon south carolina at seven o'clock South carolina getting six and a half When's the last time don't staley's teams gotten that much points So have you made that bet yet? You've you've you've talked your if you haven't talked yourself into it yet I am amazed because you have been I mean literally since the starting five You've mentioned and I don't mean it in a bad way. You've mentioned it like six and a half Like it's bothering you that they're getting that many points Well, and listen yukon. I think first off when they've lost in the final four they lose in the semis I think gino's perfect in title games. I think Because like when he lost to katlyn clark and iowa it was in the semis when he got upset with that long winning streak It's mississippi state. It was in the semis So this is the round that if you're going to get connecticut you don't get them on sunday night apparently If you're going to get them you get them now But it's just one of those listen yukon may beat them by 20, but it just seems odd You know, it's I mean seriously in a final four When's the last time that duke was a six and a half point dog? Probably to unlv in 91 when they beat them I mean it just there are certain programs in which you're like. Oh, wow I can never get six and a half points in this program I mean who are they playing oklahoma city? No yukon. Huh? I'll be damned So that's all yeah, I would take the points I would And for what it's worth our texas is favored. I take ucla and the other one we'll see By the way, if there's really ever been a reason to jump on twitch or youtube We're getting there because one thing that never happens with this show is my wife listening But she's in the room about 10 feet away and I have made at least seven comments that could get me punched And the next break there's a good chance that pain will be inflicted upon me That's all I'm saying I think it's definitely coming But the poll question is up And I don't know if I've blanked out or if david's blanked out But I see a lot of freezing going on right now. So I hope the goodness that uh, we're going over the air We are it looks like david is frozen. All right, thank you rick. You I can still see in here Okay, I get nervous because I've had I've been the one with the computer issues over the course of the last Month while I've been up here at the hope lodge Relying on my phone for the internet now. It's been proven because he just popped off. So we're we're still We're still sending levels. Everything's good here. But uh, yeah, it's a david thing. Thank you very much rick. Appreciate it rick church Making sure everything gets over the air back at our black ship station in southwest florida But yes, the poll question is about the championship game It is interesting because I do think in these cavernous dome stadiums where they have The final fours now Is the three pointer particularly in the first game Going to be a big factor and not by making it but by missing it And you wonder Arizona's the team of the three teams Arizona far and away shoots the least amount of threes Arizona For the season they are in three point attempts. They're 338th in college basketball. They average taking less than six threes a game Now their percentage is terrific. They're 35th. I mean when they shoot them they make them They're at about a 37 clip but michigan for instance They're 72nd in three points attempted. They attempt three more threes over three more threes a game than do The wildcat so I wonder how much of a factor if at all That's gonna be you know the same thing can be said now when you look at the other game with illinois In ucon the numbers are a little closer But illinois they're 17th in the number of three balls. They put up ucon's 146 And they both make them at roughly the same rate. I just wonder In when you get these type of dimensions We've seen it before where it just becomes difficult for teams to make threes If that's a deal in either game Saturday night, you would think by the time we get to monday teams will have figured it out I worry more In the first game. I worry more in the first half of the first game. Will it affect illinois? Will it affect michigan? Now the one thing that michigan has been great at this year If you if you've paid any attention to the wolverines at all They have had a bunch of games where they've been You know down by two up by two up by four They've been close games at the half and then michigan just simply blows the doors off of their opponent So to me What's the halftime score of michigan arizona? You know arizona can they get up in a significant way in that game In michigan who has been to me the best I think they've been the best team in the country for the year But they've certainly been the best second half team in the year And you know uconn if they win a sweet 16 game they win the whole damn thing So it's tough to count out uconn I'm I picked uconn in michigan The big 10 guy in me is hoping for an all big 10 final And I think you know by now if it's michigan versus illinois I'd be rooting for the ally but I said i've said since february I think michigan's the best team in the country. It's who I picked to win the tournament And i'm not deviating at that whatsoever the other thing we've talked a little bit about in sense I kind of you know david calls it the bonus hour and since that that's a company's not working with us right now I'm calling it the pro hour what markets are we in we're in the two pro markets We're in jackson villan tampa and tampa Obviously has more going on than just football their hockey team last night with an impressive win over pittsburgh And they moved into a tie with buffalo for the top of the division. They host boston tomorrow another big game For the tampa bay lightning as a buffalo's on the road in washington So I would argue buffalo's got the easier opponent But tampa's at home And we began the show. I kind of told david. Hey man, you're right when you're right. You're right. You've been preaching this for 30 days That kutcher offs the mvp of this league not nathan mckinnon and Nikita kutcher off has been just on fire For the last Probably 45 days. It's been uncanny how well he's played three points again last night And at the biggest time of the year he is performing As well if not better than anybody in the league He's played less games. I did make mention of this earlier in the week. I don't think the hockey voter Gets into the points per game thing and He's played I think six lex games in mckinnon So I don't think that that's really a factor when someone's voting. I actually think hockey is the one sport that The iron man type thing and mckinnon's not played in every game But the fact that you play every night may mean more in hockey than it does in any other sport The availability thing is a big deal. I just have known too many players Throughout when I was broadcasting minor league hockey that when they played in every game It to them it was a big deal to their teammates And I remember a guy got benched at the minor league level. He took a late penalty And it cost his team the game and the coach benched him the next night. He was so mad Not only about getting benched, but I remember him saying I'm not going to be able to play in every game now And it means something to hockey players and I think it means something to those that vote So the points per game differential between mckinnon and kutcheroff. I think it's a non factor in the mvp It's really just a matter. Are you going to reward mckinnon? He said he already has 50 goals I do think the fact that he's canadian makes a big deal of difference between these two. So I think I think kutcheroff should get it I just don't know if he will get it when it's all said and done Miller and molten the good the bad the ugly today was the day when what's on tap all still coming up as we finish off the week David, I've renamed this hour to me. It's no longer the bonus hour. It's the pro hour. We're in the pro markets Damn it. This is the hour for the pros even though we're a couple amateurs miller and molten You're listening to miller and molten and now here's mark miller and david molten 22 minutes to the top of the hour till we're done. That's it weeks over for us Good friday and early happy easter greeting from miller and molten Make sure you vote in our poll question All right, who's gonna win tomorrow night in indianapolis? Between illinois ucon and michigan and arizona. Who's gonna be playing on monday? That's our poll question David, I don't know if you're getting together with the whole family on sunday But I do have to ask because of your many times telling the story about that great gift from the tv station That was enough for 64 percent of a ham Will you be doing ham this year for easter? No, you know what? We've at mark you're obviously aware of everything going on In my life and my family's life, but my mother-in-law just passed away last weekend And uh, my wife said to our daughter. Yeah, I know we normally do easter I ain't up for it this year Okay, I need you to take one for the team So the daughter's doing easter I don't even know if we're bringing anything. I do do we know what's on the menu? Is she no no idea All right, so we're gonna report on how the daughter did on monday a lot of pressure I well I have to admit I mean, we are a pretty receptive audience My wife wants to bankroll their whole life and you know me you put a couple carbs on a plate and that's a good meal for me Yeah, I will say though, you know, I mean put some carbs on a plate But you also have to take into consideration not a lot of sports for you on sunday I mean, I guess she can the women's game, but that's going to start later You're you're you're gonna have to converse with people Ah, they're family. I can't ignore them Okay, what's again, I mean, it's one of the few rooms I'm in in which I mean think about it. I outranked the son-in-law Okay, and that's it I mean, he's he's the low. I mean you got the His wife Okay, you got his mother-in-law and then his two kids And then me and him I mean the two of us will be talking to each other because No one else in the room is going to be interested in us. No, you're right And I wouldn't even go five six. I might just go five a five b Because depending on your wife's mood at least this guy provided at least in part two grandchildren for her So, right. Oh, no, you guys are like five and five a I I'd look right at him and say with your wife I'm ahead of you with my wife. You're ahead of me I It's that time again nearing the end but not quite there yet Here's mark miller with today was the day when And to be honest if your daughter just ran through mcdonald's and picked up a bunch of value meals You'd be happy as hell as long as there was an extra double cheeseburger to for you Yeah, really two double cheeseburgers and a 20-piece nugget and honestly, I'm good.

Come on, just accept that fact. It is something that just blows Miller to this day. Miller and Hogan don't get it. What a joke. Come on, seriously? He had just, I just thrown the two touchdown passes late to beat Tennessee, they're undefeated. Okay, I could argue Florida hasn't been as good since. Thank you. You know, Florida, you should be more, Florida fans more upset about a million other things than this. Miller and Moulton are incredulous about this. And I think you're right, David. Think about where our Florida's highlights since then. And we were incredulous at the time. Yes. We literally turned around and said, wait a minute, wait a minute. I remember saying to you, Mark, has anyone else been suspended in the last few years for steroids? You're like, I don't think so. I go, yeah, me neither. I go, wait a minute. The quarterback of Florida is the only college football player. By the way, anybody been suspended since? Thank you. I mean, what the heck? Time to see life a little bit differently. Here's Mark Miller with the good, the bad and the ugly. What do you got, Mark? I got a dog in New Zealand is what I got. All right. Jessica Johnston fell 180 feet down a waterfall in New Zealand. She survived, but she lost her dog when it happened. A week later, they reunited Molly, shivering and alone in the wilderness with her owner. Molly Aborder-Colly was hiking with her across the mountains in remote part of New Zealand. When Johnston fell, the dog obviously not with her, but they were able to get the dog back with him. Happy ending to what could have been a tragic story. For the, I gotta switch these because we need time for the ugly. They're equal, but I'm gonna give time for the ugly because it hits home with David. He doesn't even realize it yet. We go to California for the bad, where the Laguna Beach Police Department were called into action. It appeared that there was a drunk man sitting in the garage of a home. Police responded to the neighborhood where someone had been seen camping and drinking next to their home. Turned out it was a mannequin wearing sunglasses with a fake beard and a hoodie with a blanket and a beer bottle. Nice April Fool's joke. And finally the ugly, David, that will hit home to you. And I hope to goodness your mother is listening. I really do. We go to Cape Coral, where a mom and a daughter were arrested on Monday after the mother was accused of encouraging her daughter to fight another girl. Elena Deno, 33, brought her 12-year-old daughter to the home of a 13-year-old girl to fight the victim. Apparently something happened in school and carried out online between the two girls, and mom wanted them to work it out for themselves. The mother was arrested for child neglect and burglary. Now in the article, it doesn't say what she steals, but she was on someone's property and they didn't want her there. But again, mom brought daughter to fight another girl. Now I'm not four girl fights, not unless they're in a bar and they're both over the age of 21. In which case I'll watch until one of them, you know, chokes out the other. But in this case, I'm not really supporting a 12-year-old girl fighting the 13-year-old girl, but that is the good, the bad, and the ugly. And it's brought to you by the Cape Coral Police Department. CapeCops.com, CapeCops.com, hiring new officers, great pay, overtime, great benefits, all of that stuff. David. Story hits home, doesn't it? Your mom could have been arrested. Well, we joked for years, okay, that, you know, my mom couldn't parent today the way that she parented back in the day, but that's just proof. I mean, because my mother grabbed me by the arm in the middle of dinner, okay, and said, put your shoes on and let's go. And I'm like, where are we going? And we walked, and it was a five, seven-minute walk, okay? To Kenny Larson's house, and she knocked on the door, and had never met Mrs. Larson, and said, hi, I'm David's mom, okay, your son and my son need to fight and get this over with. And Mrs. Larson, without hesitating, turned around and yelled, Kenny, that was amazing. And then we fought it out in the fight yard. You gotta hear him fight, David. Yep. By the way, I'm still friends with him today. Bunch of NBA games tonight, Orlando on the road in Dallas. Pete have the night off. There's only two hockey games. I guess the best game point spread, wise Minnesota and Philadelphia. Yeah, we'll see who plays. Only two hockey games, and I don't think either one of note. Islander's Flyers is a, I mean, it's important for both. It is, they're both still, you know, they both have fallen out of the playoffs, I believe, but. Islander's still in. Oh yeah, because they're in third in their division, by a point, got it. Yes. Listen, there's a bunch of home openers in baseball today. I'm sorry, I mean, including, by the way, the 501 Marlins are at the 501 Yankees. All right, let's see how the Marlins do this weekend. I take one out of three. Thank you. I agree. But in Pittsburgh, the 19 year old kid, Connor Griffin, is gonna be a shortstop for the Pirates, their home opener against the Orioles. I hope the place is sold out. All right, management's finally, finally acting like they give a damn. Rays at the twins today as well. Obviously the final four tomorrow, early game, UConn in Illinois, late game, Michigan and Arizona. Women's Final Four tonight, seven and nine, 30, both on ESPN, South Carolina, UConn, the early game. Lightning off today, they play tomorrow. Have a great weekend, everybody. We'll be back bright and early Monday morning, talking about the national championship game. Who's it gonna be? Final four tomorrow night. Thanks so much for listening. Have a great weekend.
