00:01It's a cross talk with the fellas.
00:04I mean, the Hogs won.
00:05The Hogs did win.
00:07The Hogs did win.
00:09That is a great point.
00:11But, of course, we take this time as you listen to KLT AM, KLT FM,
00:15HD2 Houston and Odyssey Sports Station to mourn with our friend Ron the Show
00:20Hughley.
00:20He's got the bagpipes.
00:21The end of the Darren Peterson era,
00:24the end of the 2025-26 season for the Kansas Jayhawks.
00:30How you doing there, buddy?
00:31Is that you?
00:34Rob or Rob?
00:35Is that you?
00:35Yeah.
00:37You okay?
00:39You all right?
00:40Not a great weekend.
00:44Was there anything else that made it that or was it just that?
00:47Tough Sunday.
00:48Just that game?
00:49Yeah.
00:50Tough Sunday.
00:50Mm-hmm.
00:51Mm-hmm.
00:52I want to appreciate all the people who reached out to me with their laughing
00:58emojis.
00:59Oh, boy.
01:00You know, well, you knew that was happening.
01:01And their happiness for my pain.
01:05Mm-hmm.
01:06Appreciate it.
01:08Is that my boy Ron?
01:09Yeah, it is.
01:10Oh, he's pouring one out.
01:12All right.
01:13Yeah.
01:13All right.
01:14Very good.
01:14He did indeed pour a little out for the Kansas Jayhawks season.
01:18I mean, what are you doing here?
01:20I mean, you've been a coach.
01:22Mm-hmm.
01:23John.
01:23You talking about the pressing?
01:25The fouls?
01:26The fouls with 13 seconds?
01:28I just don't.
01:28Yeah.
01:29I don't.
01:29I don't.
01:29I just want to be very clear.
01:31They deserve exactly what they got.
01:33Mm-hmm.
01:33They decided to start playing real basketball about the 543 mark.
01:39Mm-hmm.
01:40I'll be damned, though.
01:43I just, you can't let a straight line drive.
01:46That's what I'm saying.
01:47By a guard.
01:48Yeah.
01:48No help.
01:49Had he scored at all in this game?
01:50No, he had.
01:51Yeah, he hadn't scored a bucket.
01:52Yeah.
01:52He at least did force him right.
01:55Mm-hmm.
01:55Because he's left-handed.
01:56Yeah.
01:56It doesn't matter.
01:57Yeah.
01:57Nobody helped.
01:58Mm-hmm.
01:59How did we get here?
02:00Three guys, all of them with their backs to the basket.
02:03Jayhawks going down.
02:04That was Bill Self, man.
02:05No, that's not Bill Self.
02:06Don't do that.
02:07Yeah.
02:07Nope.
02:08Nope.
02:08It's not Bill Self.
02:09Just don't let him get.
02:10No, he is a coach for, he does not teach that.
02:13All right.
02:14Okay?
02:14I'm sorry.
02:15Like, at some point, we got to say, he did not teach that.
02:18I was talking to Clint before the show, like, in sports in general, like, the IQ of athletes
02:25are way down to 10, 15 years ago.
02:29Mm-hmm.
02:29That nobody thought to themselves, maybe I'll keep a foot in the paint.
02:32Yeah.
02:33Yeah.
02:33My man, Flory Badunga, who may be the National Defensive Player of the Year, just kept rolling.
02:39They're the three-point line with the center.
02:41Yeah.
02:42Instead of standing there to prevent the layup.
02:45Aaron Peterson, I don't know what you were looking at.
02:48Mm-hmm.
02:48Melvin Council, I don't either.
02:50I think Darren might have been looking at the draft.
02:52I think that might have been.
02:53Terry White was playing dodgeball as he was inbounding the ball.
03:06Mm-hmm.
03:07You're the big dog.
03:08I mean, I thought it went great.
03:09Mm-hmm.
03:09I mean, it went great.
03:10Late game.
03:12Y'all know I love Arkansas.
03:15Watched several good games throughout.
03:17Ate a few crawfish.
03:18Had some folks over.
03:20And next thing you know, the thing thinned out.
03:22You know, they know we got babies.
03:23So, they think thins out pretty early.
03:25And then them hogs tip.
03:27And you get to watch the hogs with the little lighter crowd.
03:29It was good.
03:30Mm-hmm.
03:30I'm glad you mentioned crawfish because I have only had crawfish once this season.
03:34Am I messing up?
03:35I feel like I'm seeing my friends getting crawfish every weekend.
03:38And I feel like I need to step it up.
03:40I mean, it just depends on if you like it.
03:42I mean, look, I mean, whether you eat them or not, I would say you are messing up.
03:45To answer your question and not dance around, you are messing up, yes.
03:49Okay.
03:50Because there's good times to be had.
03:52Typically, if there's a crawfish bowl going on, you got a certain vibe in the building.
03:55And it's usually a pretty good time.
03:56A great point.
03:56Now, if you also like crawfish, as I do, you can just sit there and eat it.
04:02It's hard for me to enjoy crawfish the way that I truly can at a place of business.
04:08Because it's order five pounds, and then I turn around and order five more pounds.
04:13It's as fast as you can go, and you just leave with the food, baby.
04:16When you do a boil or you stay at a place long enough where you can space it out, that's
04:22when you really truly.
04:23If you're a real crawfish eater, that's when you make two or three trips to the ice chips.
04:28Yeah.
04:28You stop, break a little bread, maybe jump in the hot tub, jump in the pool, maybe discipline the kids
04:33a bit.
04:34Oh, okay.
04:36Maybe annoy your wife a little bit, and then you ease back over.
04:39Yeah, that's a batch.
04:40Are y'all sitting there a little hotter?
04:41Okay, let me try.
04:41Let me see what's going on.
04:42Yeah, see, I think that's what I'm missing.
04:44I'm missing a boil.
04:44I'm missing that full kind of environment.
04:46We're going to do one and invite everybody.
04:49And I don't know who's going to show up.
04:50It's a little 45-minute drive on the east side.
04:53But we're going to do one.
04:55We got the boiler.
04:56I got a new boiler.
04:57All right.
04:57All right.
04:58Well, it's not new to me.
05:00My father-in-law had it in storage, so I went and snatched it.
05:03It's high-end, baby.
05:04All one burner.
05:05Was it flips?
05:06Burner.
05:07No, no, no, not that high-end.
05:09We're kind of old school.
05:10We don't have all that.
05:10We ain't into making it as easy as you possibly can make it where the cooker's on wheels,
05:14and it dumps – it's got an automatic dumper.
05:17No, no, no.
05:17We still got to pull it out, you know.
05:20Yeah.
05:20But burner and pot's all one.
05:24So, it's an easy little deal.
05:25We're going to do one.
05:26We're going to get one rolling.
05:27All right.
05:27So, I know I got one in the back pocket.
05:29You got one.
05:30I'm watching this play on a loop right now.
05:32Oh, you're –
05:33I'm just watching it on a loop.
05:33I just –
05:34Flory Badunga is happening right in front of you.
05:36Yeah.
05:37It's happening right in front of you.
05:39You think you're going to be able to make it today?
05:41Yeah.
05:41This was one of those, as I told Clint, I – it just happened so fast.
05:47I've never been on the end of a buzzer beater like that.
05:49Never.
05:50Oh, yeah?
05:50Kansas lost like that.
05:51They've lost late.
05:52Not like that.
05:53We're just –
05:53I'm pretty sure, Ron, if it makes you feel any better, I had St. John's beating Kansas
05:57in that round in my bracket.
05:58Oh, you should.
05:59That's fine.
05:59Did I hear you guys right that Pendergast turned a bracket in this morning?
06:03No.
06:03No, no.
06:04He's creating conspiracies.
06:05No, no.
06:05Here are the facts.
06:06Let's hear them, please.
06:07Please, our program director, until Sean Pendergast, they got his bracket, which somehow he left
06:15on Parker's desk.
06:17He left in the little cubby outside his office.
06:20Yeah, in the cubby outside of his office.
06:23So nobody had seen this thing until this morning.
06:25All of a sudden, he's in first place, surpassing our program director, who was in first place
06:32going into the day with no one having seen his bracket.
06:35Hmm.
06:36Did you see anybody's bracket?
06:38Like, why are you –
06:39None of that is false.
06:40Y'all just keep –
06:40Things that make you say, hmm.
06:43Is that a coincidence?
06:45I mean, it definitely opened – it definitely opened.
06:48He sent an email.
06:50By the way, I'm leading.
06:51Okay.
06:55Is that the Sports Radio 6-10 or is that the Big Bosses?
06:58The 6-10 one.
06:58I forgot the Big Bosses.
07:00Where am I slotted right now?
07:01Did you see me?
07:02I said less –
07:02On the 6-10 one?
07:04I got to be doing – all four of my final fours are still alive.
07:07Oh, yeah?
07:07I think you're cooking.
07:08I think I got to be all right.
07:09Florida killed me.
07:10I think I got to be all right.
07:11Yeah.
07:12Yeah.
07:13I lost Wisconsin.
07:14Wisconsin hurt me a little bit.
07:15Clint, you're second – or you're third now.
07:16Third?
07:17Yeah, yeah.
07:17Now.
07:1749 points.
07:18Now we got Seth's – or sorry, Sean's bracket in there.
07:22Oh, that's right.
07:22Sean's first.
07:22I was second, but when Sean's bracket got introduced to the party –
07:26It magically appeared this morning.
07:27All right.
07:27Right.
07:27Okay.
07:28I got you.
07:28Well, mine magically appeared at 11.
07:30So, you know what I mean?
07:31Like this – there's some validity to what's happening here, guys.
07:33Okay.
07:34All right.
07:34And now –
07:35I just – I don't know.
07:36I mean, it just – I mean, I'm going to be honest with you.
07:38I mean –
07:39So, you should be in first place.
07:40All right.
07:41Well, I'm going to get out of here –
07:42That is a good point.
07:43That is a really good point.
07:45I'm going to get out of here so that John can be reprimanded by Parker.
07:50And he walked in and –
07:52You got that email.
07:54Joe, you got that email, right?
07:55By the way, I'm in first place.
07:56I don't know if Joe checked any emails today.
07:57No, I did.
07:58Yeah.
07:59Yeah, you did.
07:59Had you seen his bracket?
08:01Whose bracket have you seen?
08:02I had never seen it.
08:03Why do you keep saying this like we're supposed to all validate everybody else's bracket?
08:07Usually it's online somewhere is all I'm saying.
08:10How did it just appear, though?
08:11It just appeared.
08:12I mean, whether you saw it or not, was it not introduced to the first bat?
08:15I don't think Parker was here on Thursday or Friday.
08:19All right, now Parker's answering for himself now.
08:22Hey, you better want to take it out of your paycheck.
08:23You break that damn mic up there, boss, man.
08:27You done got me messed up.
08:28See how easy it is?
08:29Oh, no.
08:30See how easy it is right there?
08:32No, look.
08:33Let me clear this up for John, who clearly can check his email but can't check the online bracket challenge.
08:38Oh, wow.
08:39The old man in the group.
08:41Where everybody's brackets live.
08:43Also, yeah, no, you guys know we've had construction going on in the building.
08:46Oh, here it comes.
08:47And I couldn't even get into my office Wednesday, Thursday, Friday last week.
08:52So, no, I wasn't up here.
08:54Sean and Reggie as well, who Reggie can confirm, had their brackets done in time and left them at my
08:59office.
08:59So, when I got there this morning, that was the first I've seen it.
09:01How do we confirm that?
09:03Are we taking their word for it?
09:04I mean, you can check the website.
09:06Again, you can check the cameras.
09:07You can check the website.
09:08Yeah, we do have cameras, don't we?
09:09Check the cameras.
09:10When did Sean drop that off?
09:12There's plenty of ways for us to figure it out.
09:14But, clearly, John just decided not to take the time to put in the effort to do it.
09:19Supposed journalist John Lopez.
09:21Yeah, he talks a big game.
09:23I just don't know that he's backing it up.
09:24I tell you, Lopez.
09:25I mean, he yanked it like what he.
09:26You got boss man yanking the mics.
09:28He's dead ass serious.
09:29Don't let that smile fool you now.
09:31I mean, the fact remains.
09:34The fact remains.
09:35I'm clearly a morning, but my man came out there and laid up against the back of that door with
09:40his arm.
09:43Waiting for the opportunity to jump in a mic, baby.
09:46He didn't wait.
09:47He took it.
09:48He's going to yank that mic.
09:49He's prepared to break that mic.
09:51Oh, it's on the bracket challenge.
09:53He pulled in the room like when your mama knows that she got something on you.
09:58Old Pindegas.
09:59All right, fellas, have a good show.
10:01Again, sorry, Ron.
10:02Apologies to you and all the people.
10:05By the way, I was listening earlier, and for the first time I did feel when you couldn't think about
10:11who St. John's beat,
10:12I felt like that was a shot at Ron.
10:14I picked my phone up to text him.
10:16Really?
10:16I forgot.
10:17You just got through talking about it.
10:20It's leading.
10:21You watch sports all week, all day long.
10:24It's leading.
10:25It's Rick Pitino.
10:27It's leading.
10:27You forgot who they.
10:29You kissed all of my ass, Reggie.
10:31All of it.
10:32Both quarters, the length of it, all of it.
10:35All of it.
10:35You didn't know who they played.
10:37How I can help?
10:37Yeah, man.
10:38You just got through talking about Kansas getting eliminated.
10:41That's right.
10:41And then the next sentence was, yeah, St. John, St. John, but I can't remember who they beat.
10:45That's right, Kansas.
10:46And I thought, oh, I said, oh, boy, he's taking a dig.
10:48This is a dig at Ron.
10:49This is definitely a dig at Ron.
10:51And then it's like, oh, Kansas.
10:53In order to clear my name, I have to tell you how forgetful I am, which people aren't going
10:57to appreciate either.
10:58So, whatever, man.
10:59I'm just being honest with you.
11:00You know what?
11:00I was trying to be kind.
11:01You know what?
11:02Bump you and Kansas and your heart.
11:03You wasn't trying to be kind.
11:04I'm happy that you're upset.
11:06I'd rather you do it to my face.
11:06I'm happy you're upset.
11:07I'd rather you just say it.
11:08I'm happy you just say it.
11:09I'm typically on your side, Reg.
11:11There was a one seat that went down.
11:13Who was it?
11:14Who was it?
11:15Who was it?
11:15I'll be honest with you, man.
11:16I just really felt that that was a shot at my partner, man.
11:19I'm usually on your side, man.
11:20Shut up.
11:21You enjoyed it.
11:22It wasn't what it is now.
11:24Look at Bill Self always embarrassing y'all and determined.
11:26I promise you, John, this was one of them numbers.
11:29You shouldn't even be in mourning.
11:30You sat there and 15 minutes went by.
11:32You were in a daze and 60 minutes was on.
11:36It's just one of those where you sit there and you look up and you hear the clock ticking.
11:40We didn't roll into 60 minutes.
11:41They do this every few years.
11:42You should be used to it.
11:43They should be used to it.
11:44They do this to you.
11:45Listen, I'm not going to say anything.
11:47See?
11:48See, I held all that so y'all got on me.
11:49I'm going to show control.
11:51I'm going to show control.
11:52All right.
11:52Well, speaking of show, you're listening to The Drive.
11:55The Drive is live.
11:56The Drive is live.
11:57I'm in mourning.
11:59You got your funeral outfit on, man.
12:01Yeah, I do.
12:02I'm in mourning.
12:03You got glasses and all.
12:04Can't you see your tear up?
12:05No, you can't.
12:08I proceeded to get drunk on Absolute Pear.
12:14Why has he always got to pick a weird taste?
12:17Pear?
12:18Oh, no.
12:19I've never had it.
12:20I was in Minneapolis last week.
12:22Somebody made me a pear version of a Moscow Mule, so I went and got it.
12:27Takes it all right.
12:27The guy is drunk.
12:29And I didn't see it in Grey Goose, so the closest thing I could get that was at my bottom
12:33limit of a bad liquor that I will take is Absolute, and I just pounded that.
12:39That was tough.
12:40Pear Vodka.
12:41Pear Vodka.
12:41KU drove you to Pear Vodka Hangover, huh?
12:44It did.
12:44It did.
12:45It did.
12:45Oh, man.
12:46I'm sorry for you.
12:47No, Tyler, it was all there, baby.
12:48We turned to KU, then just immediately went, and you know, I re-watched it 40 times, and
12:55then just went and watched Matlock.
12:59Matlock.
13:00The new one or the old one?
13:00Yeah, you tend to find comfort in these old folk shows, I feel like.
13:04Yep.
13:05Yep.
13:07YouTube coming in, Rob.
13:08Ron looks like he's been listening to Boys to Men all day.
13:12It's not a bad...
13:13I've just tortured myself.
13:14Repeat it.
13:15Why don't you just...
13:16Why wouldn't they just stay dead?
13:18Who, Boys to Men?
13:19Oh, God.
13:21Oh, Kansas.
13:22Oh.
13:22They're down 14, Clint.
13:23I was prepared to just roll through.
13:25Keep getting your ass kicked.
13:26They tease you, huh?
13:27No, don't tease me.
13:28They drug me to a tie.
13:30They drug me to a tie with 3.9 seconds left, and then it was just over.
13:35There's no way you can tell me they wouldn't have won that in overtime.
13:38Just lose.
13:39Just lose by 20.
13:40Please.
13:43Anyway, I'm not going to be...
13:44That's what the Aggies did.
13:46Yes, I would have rathered that.
13:47I would have rathered that.
13:49They tuned Tyler out the first five minutes.
13:51Please!
13:52What did you get to do, Tyler?
13:53You didn't have to hang in there, did you?
13:54No, I did not.
13:55You were able to roll through and go on about your day.
13:58I think about 10 minutes left in that Aggies-Cougs game.
14:01I closed my ticket out at the bar I was at and headed to another one.
14:04We lost by two.
14:06We got a missed breakaway dunk.
14:08One guy had a blatant alley-oop he threw into the stands.
14:13Inbound plays seemed tough.
14:14Yeah, 16 turnovers.
14:15That was rough.
14:16Trey White was playing dodgeball with his teammates.
14:19Every inbounds play for St. John's in Kansas.
14:21I was glued to it, baby.
14:22Boys, we'll take y'all.
14:25Hey, hey.
14:26Boys, we'll take y'all, man.
14:27Come on, this A-cuff train over here to Arkansas.
14:29It's fun right now, man.
14:30I don't know how fun it's going to be this coming Thursday with Arizona,
14:33but it's fun right now, boys.
14:35Come on over, man.
14:36Get on this A-cuff train.
14:39Huh?
14:40I could have just taken gummies and ended it.
14:43Like the night.
14:45That's how I ended my night.
14:46You should have.
14:46I should have.
14:47I should have.
14:48I would like to say this.
14:49I don't want to be selfish.
14:50Congratulations to the Houston Cougars.
14:52Yeah.
14:52I mean this legitimately.
14:55I can't handle it.
14:56Get that home.
14:56Get that home.
14:57It would have been a shame if they'd have ruined that home field, huh?
14:59And if you talk to Rob, I want to let Rob know I could not handle you today.
15:02So I refuse.
15:04Rob Doster?
15:04Yeah, I refuse.
15:05You're going to tell him you can't get.
15:06I didn't have it today.
15:07Not today?
15:08No, I can't see Tyler.
15:08Sorry about that.
15:09I didn't like I couldn't see Tyler at all in there, man.
15:11I can't see him anyway.
15:13I'm in this.
15:13Oh, boss man must have bent the arm of that mic, man.
15:15Yeah, he did.
15:15He got after it.
15:17I will.
15:18Seven straight.
15:20Tell me if I'm wrong on that Tyler or Cheryl.
15:22I believe that is correct.
15:24Seven straight years.
15:25Kelvin Sampson has led the Houston Cougars to the Sweet 16.
15:31Sounds right to me.
15:32Seven straight years.
15:33Go Cougs.
15:35Despite the despicable acts of those kids yesterday, this Kansas program has been amazing.
15:41Bill Self has done a bunch of crazy things, like a bunch of records.
15:45He has never come close to doing that, what Kelvin Sampson has done.
15:48And really, not many people have.
15:51This is UCLA.
15:52Maybe Duke has done in the past.
15:54But seven straight years to the Sweet 16.
15:56Amazing.
15:57And I will start today like I did last week.
16:01Damn it, they got no excuse.
16:04It's here.
16:04It's real now, ain't it?
16:05Hell, they even, Florida, Florida even got stupid in their quest in inbounds plays.
16:11Can we, I mean, good God.
16:12There's got to be somebody working on inbounds at the end of game.
16:17Good God.
16:17Who's just allowing people to get running starts?
16:19We got to make them stop their feet, right?
16:22No.
16:22No.
16:23Hey, what do you want?
16:23You want to run and start?
16:25Sure.
16:25Florida did it, too.
16:27It just let out.
16:28It's run and start in the open court.
16:30Running start into a two, three or two.
16:33That's right.
16:33You're up, too.
16:34What are you pressing for?
16:37It's eight seconds.
16:38What are you doing?
16:39Anyway, I just, anyway, God, these coaches are too good.
16:43These are national championship coaches who just look like their kids look like I have no idea.
16:47They had a timeout to do it.
16:49Anyway, Florida is out.
16:51They're in Houston.
16:52They've got these Big Ten teams now.
16:54Nebraska does feel like they're trying to pull off from a fan perspective what Indiana did the entire time during
17:00the college football playoff.
17:02So they might try to pack that thing up.
17:04I mean, they just took over Oklahoma City.
17:05These people ain't never had nothing.
17:07So, I mean, they're going to come out there like hell.
17:09But they should still, they are better, far better than any team in the region, although Illinois is really, really
17:15good, and they've got a special player.
17:16But they are still better, more seasoned.
17:19They've got no excuse.
17:20They should get to the final four.
17:23It was put on a platter for them before the thing started, Clinton Tyler, and now it's definitely put on
17:28a platter for them.
17:29The one seed is out.
17:30Florida is gone.
17:31They've got to beat Nebraska or Iowa on the other side and finish off Illinois at home at the Toyota
17:39Center.
17:39Crowds should be rocking.
17:41As long as Jim Nance isn't around, they should be in good shape.
17:44I got a punch, Jim, last night after that shot went through.
17:47Thank God he wasn't on the call.
17:49Boy, that is, hey, I mean, could U of H have a wider region?
17:58Tyler, you've got U of H, Illinois, Nebraska, and Iowa.
18:01That's going to set a record for white guys in a sweet 16 region.
18:04Nebraska team's got a bunch of them.
18:05I mean, good God.
18:07That Nebraska and Iowa club.
18:10I mean.
18:11That looks like hockey teams.
18:12You've got to be kids, right?
18:14I don't know about Illinois.
18:15Illinois has got a couple of white bigs, too.
18:17But they've got some Chicago kids.
18:20Oh, boy.
18:21But they've got.
18:23You ain't lying about that, boy.
18:25I mean, I'm glad you've got that home court advantage, but damn.
18:29Whew.
18:29Yeah.
18:30Congratulations to Kelvin Sampson and the Houston Cougars.
18:35They've got it set up for them.
18:36If they don't get to Indianapolis with us, Clint, I mean, this will be a choke job like we saw
18:44yesterday in San Diego with Kansas.
18:47This will be a choke job.
18:48Well, I'd like to see them get there because I got them in my bracket, so I'd like to see
18:51it happen, man.
18:52Well, I'm glad you've got to see it happen.
