| Steve keeps his undies in the icebox when it gets
hot, like Marilyn Monroe in Some
Like It Hot. Buzz wasn't sure what
movie it was from. Isn't he supposed to be a movie buff? |
| 2:22
| It is pretty hot out, but Steve hasn't really noticed
because he isn't back to running yet. Some people might be worried
that Steve's going to put his weight back on, but he's just waiting
for his knee to heal up. |
| 2:23
| A correction: Marilyn Monroe keeps her undies in
the icebox in Seven Year Itch. There were three different people
on hold to correct Steve. Does Brendan really need to screen three
identical calls proving Steve wrong? |
| 2:24
| Normally it takes Brendan a while just to screen
one call, but when Steve's wrong he has three on hold instantly.
He is hopped on Mountain Dew today though so maybe it's that. |
| 2:25
| Steve saw Brendan leaving the office with the complimentary
cooler and two Mountain Dews. In three years, no one on the show
has thanked Steve for the water, but that's ok. |
| 2:26
| Brendan might need to get on some Adderall though,
in addition to the Mountain Dew. |
| 2:27
| Steve did go for a walk today, but there wasn't
too much running. Maybe when he passed by a hot mom, but that's it. |
| 2:28
| Remember when it was like 120 one summer and all
those people died? Then they put all the bodies in the LaGrue trucks
that they use at Taste of Chicago to haul food? Note to self: no
more pickle-on-a-sticks from Taste of Chicago. |
| 2:29
| That LaGrue company had some financial trouble a
few years back, Steve thinks it might have something to do with people
seeing them hauling bodies all over the news. If it was Steve, he
would have gone with the unmarked trucks, because that's an image
that people can't really get out of their head. |
| 2:30
| Steve had to do a live remote at Murphy's Bleachers
during the peak of that heat wave. Had he been drinking, he probably
would have died. As it was, he almost died coming up the back staircase. |
| 2:31
| Steve likes when it's really hot. He doesn't mind
pleasant, but he really enjoys the different temperature extremes.
Today he was shopping for snow blowers online. |
| 2:32
| Steve's looking to get into a single-stage Toro
snowblower. He has one now that's a bit too powerful and leaves you
black and blue when you're done. |
| 2:33
| Steve is going to be cleaning out his garage soon
so he wants the old snowblower gone. For a while, Steve knew this
electrician who worked at O'Hare and everything he did was on a giant
scale. |
| 2:34
| This electrician got Steve a free snowblower, but
it was huge. He could probably do a runway with it. |
| 2:35
| Caller Brian wanted to let Steve know that his uncle
owns a Toro shop in North Riverside where he can trade in the old
snowblower and get a new one. |
| 2:36
| Brian picks up snowblowers for his uncle, which
works for Steve since he can never get his into his car. |
| 2:37
| Brian is a Teamster and was hassled by Buzz once
at the Harlem Ave. Lounge. Buzz really needs to stop with the Teamster
jokes. He rides a cab to and from his house and thinks everything
is fine, but Steve's out in the real world having to answer for Buzz
to every Teamster he runs into. It's not easy being the King of Teamster
Comedy. |
| 2:44
| Steve just learned that Pete McMurray is the one
who moves his light everyday. What kind of person in showbiz doesn't
want a light shinning on them? |
| 2:54
| Live read: Lindy's Chili |
| 2:55
| Lindy's brought chili in last week but it got here
really early. It seems like the salesperson should bring the food
in first for Steve and then a week later bring it in for Pete. Steve
really needs to have that meeting with the sales staff about the
flow-chart. |
| 2:56
| Maybe WCKG should change it's format to The Jeff.
"We say anything!" |
| 2:57
| Steve is pretty sure that him and Buzz talking about
Lindy's is what got them to advertise on the station. But then what
happens? The shrimpy sales guy brings the food in to Pete, either
because he doesn't want to stay late or he's afraid of Steve or both. |
| 2:58
| Steve has a lot going on tomorrow. Jim Koch is coming
in and there's a special treat for the listeners from United Airlines.
That seems like too much going on. |
| 2:59
| Sam Adams needs to advertise more on the station.
More is good. Maybe Jim could get Steve tickets to the Red Sox/White
Sox game at Fenway? |
| 3:00
| Steve has no interest in seeing a game at Fenway.
It's worse than Wrigley if that's possible. Small, dirty, no parking
and the Green Monster which just means they didn't have enough land
for left field so they put that giant wall up. |
| 3:10
| Gary Sinise is gonna be on the phone in a few minutes.
He's got a big show coming up. It seems like Gary got on the festival
circuit this summer. Steve needs to figure out how to do that. |
| 3:11
| Live read: Lindy's Chili |
| 3:12
| The word "savory" in the copy is spelled with a
"u" like the British do it. Steve figured out that maybe that British
salesgirls wrote the copy for the this live read for whoever's account
it is. Then Steve started to wonder why she was writing copy for
other people. |
| 3:13
| At that point Steve finally realized that he had
voices in his head, because he was having this conversation with
himself. |
| 3:25
| Gary Sinise is on the phone. He's not familiar with
the audio from Newlyweds where Jessica Simpson can't pronounce his
last name. |
| 3:26
| Gary's concert at the Park West is a fundraiser
for the 9/11 Pentagon memorial. |
| 3:29
| While doing the USO stuff, a lot of the troops were
calling Gary Lt. Dan, so in honor of them he named his band Lt. Dan
Band. |
| 3:33
| After Gary called into the show last year, Steve
was inspired to adopt a group of troops from the area. |
| 3:35
| Steve still wants to do some sort of USO
thing, but he can't get anyone to take him seriously. He might just
have to get on a plane to Iraq with his little broadcasting box and
set up shop. |
| 3:36
| No one at the station will help Steve get over to
Iraq or any other place where the USO is touring. Jeff is afraid
of mosquitoes so there's no way he's going to plan a remote broadcast
from Iraq. |
| 3:38
| Steve wants to see Gary on Saturday, but there's
now parking around the Park West. That Jim kid says Steve can park
at his place, but based on what he makes, there's no way he lives
close enough and has a space. Unless he's actually living in Lincoln
Park. |
| 3:47
| Steve just wants to make sure that Buzz knows Lt.
Dan was the character Gary played in Forrest
Gump. He asked Gary
where he got the name, like he didn't know how Lt. Dan was. |
| 3:48
| Blues Fest isn't until the weekend, why is Columbus
closed already? |
| 3:49
| Steve can't think of the name of the street at the
end of Columbus where the horse statue is. He hates when he can't
remember a street name because it makes him seem like he hasn't been
here that long. |
| 3:50
| Those cops directing traffic in Grant Park are terrible.
They actually seem to be creating gridlock. |
| 3:51
| Caller John has some info about what street Steve
is talking about. |
| 3:52
| John just sounds like the kind of guy you would
get Chicago info from. |

| Yesterday Steve was talking about a book by David
Sedaris, but it's not the right one that he mentioned. It was a collection
of essays, but as Steve kept reading it he realized that the first
one was so good he shouldn't have read the rest of it. |
| 4:15
| Steve needs to figure out what David Sedaris book
he's talking about. He got a copy of the other one on CD, but of
course it's the wrong one. |
| 4:18
| Live read; Dish Planet |
| 4:19
| Caller Rachel has some info about the David Sedaris
book. The book he's looking for is Dress
You Up in Corduroy. She
thinks that's it at least. Steve needs someone a little more sure
of the answer. |
| 4:20
| Didn't Steve talk to Brendan about callers who "think"
they have the answer for Steve? He needs someone who knows for sure
the name of the David Sedaris book. |
| 4:21
| Did that caller tell Brendan that she knew the name
of the book of she just thought she knew? Brendan doesn't think she
said she only thought she knew. There ya have it. |
| 4:24
| Dahl Show intern Jackie is on the phone with the
right answer for Steve. She was just getting out of a tanning booth. |
| 4:25
| Steve was thinking of getting a tanning booth for
the interns. Jackie thinks that would be a nice perk, along with
getting to work with Steve and Brendan. |
| 4:26
| Steve would prefer if Jackie never mention Brendan's
name in the same sentence as his. |
| 4:38
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:39
| Steve saw a commercial where anyone can get an employee
discount on GM car. We must be using the discounts of the 25,000
employees who are being laid-off. |
| 4:42
| Now whenever Buzz hears a story about grief counselor's
showing up at a school, he thinks of them parachuting onto the premises. |
| 4:45
| How can they outlaw cigarettes at the Cook County
jail? If Steve was in jail, the only two things he'd look forward
to is the smoking and the rough man sex. Plus, without burnt matches,
what would he use for eyeliner? Aren't cigarettes the basis for the
entire prison economy? |
| 5:01
| Buzz thinks he's about a year away from having the
Blues Rocket Scientists in tip-top shape and ready to hit the festival
circuit. |
| 5:02
| Tommy Skillethead is checking in with a thunderstorm
warning. |
| 5:03
| Steve is fascinated by how bad the WCKG coverage
map is. No wonder the sales people can't sell anything, they have
no idea what the coverage area for the station is. |

| Steve mentioned earlier that Anne Bancroft died,
but he's not sure what. Buzz says it's uterine cancer, but Steve
heard natural causes. What exactly constitutes natural causes? |
| 5:40
| Buzz always thought Anne Bancroft was hot, probably
because of The Graduate. |
| 5:41
| Song:
Mrs. Robinson, Simon & Garfunkel |
| 5:48
| Steve reads a medical definition of "natural causes".
They include having a disorder. Steve has that voices in his head
disorder. |
| 5:49
| Today Steve realized that he hears voices in his
head and it's his own voice. Other people have to be experiencing
the same thing though, right? |
| 5:51
| As it turns out, cancer does fall under natural
causes. You can't catch cancer, so it makes sense. |

| That Mark Suppelsa won't leave Steve alone about
getting him and Roe Conn together for an interview. Steve talked
to Roe and they decided they don't want to do it. Mark said they
don't have to talk about Garry, but then what's the point of having
Steve and Roe together. |
| 6:08
| Buzz also pointed out to Steve that if Mark has
him and Roe on, he'll also have to have Garry on for a rebuttal.
Plus, how does Steve or Roe benefit from being on? They're both on
against each other. The only person who benefits is Mark. |
| 6:09
| Now Mark wants to come on the air and talk about
the impasse. Steve did enjoy talking to Roe though. They might have
a weekly self-help group for recovering top bananas. |
| 6:18
| How much set up is really needed for Blues Fest?
Just put a couple of milk crates up on stage for the musicians to
sit on and call it a night. |

| News with Buzz |
| 6:21
| The bad news is that 25,000 GM employees are losing
their job but the good news is that consumers are eligible to get
GM employee discounts. |
| 6:22
| Why didn't Jesse Jackson show up during the actual
trial for Michael Jackson? The jury doesn't know about all the stuff
he's doing now, so what's the point of him even being there? |
| 6:23
| Steve misses Alan Keyes. |
| 6:37
| Steve's never been to Ravinia, nor does he ever
plan to go. |
