2:08 Song Lahaina, Loggins & Messina
2:11 Pete chose that song, because Jeff is running dry on the Aloha Friday songs. It makes sense since we're giving away Loggins & Messina tickets for their show at Northerly Island, or Meigs Field as Steve likes to call it.
2:12 Jeff wonders what would happen if a plane landed at the concert. Is that really what he'd like to wake up to? A plane crashing into a Loggins & Messina concert?
2:13 When Steve was a gofer at KPPC Kenny Loggins used to come by and play guitar and then one day he said he was going partner up with some guy name Jim Messina. Then the album came out and they were huge.
2:14 Kenny Loggins probably made a ton of money on all the songs he did for movies. Jeff can't think of Footloose the movie without thinking of the song. Steve tries not to think of either of them.
2:15 Jeff recently saw Chris Penn on TV show and he was as big as a house. Now is where Jeff goes off on a TV tangent.
2:16 Bob Sirott is apparently the only person who enjoys Jeff's TV tangents that have no payoff. When they were in grade school together Jeff would hold court and review the previous night's Tonight Show. The other kids weren't allowed to stay up as late as Jeff.
2:17 It seems like Jeff is coming down very hard from the Penn Jillette interview yesterday. Steve was concerned this would happen. Is he off his meds or something?
2:18 Jeff is in a bad mood because his patio is being redone and the grill hasn't been properly installed. Jeff was really looking forward to grilling some steaks tonight, but what's the point? Steve's seen how he orders his food cooked, he might as well just eat charcoal.
2:20 If Steve were a mosquito, he'd work extra hard to get at Jeff just because he annoys him.
2:36 Getting back to BBQ talk for a second. Steve considers himself a grillist and he used to work exclusively with charcoal, but these new Webers they have work just as well.
2:37 Buzz has never grilled anything. Steve isn't shocked by that since Buzz only recently tried burritos.
2:38 Buzz has a grill, but he's not sure where it came from. It might have been Aimee's. She seems like the kind of person who would be good at grilling, but probably doesn't do it as to not emasculate Buzz.
2:39 It drives Steve nuts that Weber doesn't advertise. Aren't they located in Itasca or something? If Steve were a marketing person at Weber, he'd call in and tell Buzz he's going to teach him to grill.
2:40 When Wendy and Mac got their Weber, Mac claimed he'd start practicing and become a great griller. As it turns out Wendy has become the master griller. She obviously doesn't mind emasculating her husband.
2:41 Would it be bad with Jeff is Steve talked to him before the song? Steve loves Jeff, but he can't get him to stop talking. Buzz and Wendy need to come in and help Steve out.
2:42 Buzz understands Steve's agony, but listening to him and Jeff is really funny. He sits back in the office with Jim and Wendy and they hang on every demented word out of Jeff's mouth.
2:43 Steve feels like Bill Murray on that treadmill in Lost in Translation with Jeff in the studio. He can't figure out how to get off the thing.
2:44 Weber is in Palatine, not Itasca. That's still within the sound of Steve's voice though.
2:45 Steve feels bad letting Jeff be on for a half hour when he's got two prized horses down the hall. If it's funny though that's ok. Speaking of horses, Stevebiscuit is racing tomorrow at Arlington.
2:46 Steve has some calls on hold about Weber, but he can't really go on until someone from their company calls him. It's the same thing with Starbucks. There was nary a Tazo Frappucino in the hallway after everything he said about them.
2:54 Steve's relationship with the Allen Bros. is a dream relationship. Some people might think Steve's a whore or a cheapskate but he takes care of them. He gets free meat, but he also buys meat as gifts for other people.
2:58 Janet is out of town today because she's on her way to Detroit for another family wedding. Steve got out of having to go because it got too complicated.
2:59 Janet's sister who lives in the area, wanted them to watch her daughter who is also Steve's god-daughter. That ended up not happening but then another nephew was downtown and it's his dad who's getting married so someone had to figure out how he'd get to the wedding.
3:00 The big thing was tonight is sister's night out in Detroit which is not in Steve's wheelhouse.
3:07 Steve's a bachelor for the weekend, but he probably won't do anything. He does have to go up to Michigan tomorrow to the condo because they're having it redone.
3:08 Mike and Matt are home so Steve's not really alone. Mike's mad at Steve though because he doesn't want to go to Baltimore for the Sox game.
3:19 Just to clarify Steve's position on Weber. He doesn't want anything for free because he can afford to buy a grill. It just bothers him that there's a huge company in the area and everyone on the show uses Weber and there's no involvement at all, even if it's just to give away a grill.
3:20 Live read: Bosch
3:22 Song: Complicated, Avril Lavigne
3:27 Steve's sending that one out to himself, since it was too complicated for him to go to Janet's brother's wedding this weekend. Frankly Steve doesn't want to go to a wedding until his boys are getting married.
3:28 Steve doesn't like weddings. The food's usually not that good and he doesn't dance or drink so there's nothing for him.
3:37 Your Daily Dose of Rock HIstory with Bob & Ron: Food, The Turtles
3:52 Steve wants to get a used Jeep, but he's not going to go camo. He wants one today though.
3:54 Live read: Rec Room
3:57 Steve brought a copy of The Curse of Lono for Buzz. It's signed by Hunter S. Thompson and artist Ralph Steadman.
3:58 Does this mean Steve wants $300 from Buzz?
3:59 Steve bought a copy for himself, 3 for the boys and one for Buzz but he might not give the books to the boys. They don't seem to care about them and don't really like Hunter S. Thompson.
4:10 Steve got a big lecture last week about not liking The Shanty Song. It's not that he hates it, he just doesn't want to hear it every week all the way through. Only a moron would want that.
4:11 Live read: Walter E. Smithe
4:13 Steve got a haircut today from Shirley. Buzz noticed her work immediately.
4:14 Steve just got a touch-up because he's doing a commercial with the Smithe brothers and he didn't want it to look like he just got a haircut.
4:16 Steve knows that no one is in the studio except Steve, Buzz and Wendy but the phone is always further and further away from him. It might be that Pete movies it everyday to where he thinks it should be.
4:18 Caller Matthew was interested in getting The Curse of Lono and it's selling upwards for $700 on eBay. Steve should have bought all 1000 copies of the signed edition.
4:20 The prize wheel is also very far away. It could be AJ too. He was in the studio moving screens around.
4:30 Time for Burrito Quest 2005. It's actually not burritos today. Frijole Joe is a bit of a scam artist and he's involved with a fried chicken place called Pollo Camponero so he brought that food in today.
4:32 Steve can't help but notice that Joe has brought an attractive young lady with him. His downstairs wife Anna-Paula. Joe's going to translate for her.
4:33 Is Joe somehow involved in the opening of these restaurants in the Chicago area?
4:36 Steve has the feeling that Joe is making a lot of money off of his involvement with the show, but he hasn't seen a penny yet.
4:56 Steve had some of the fried chicken during the break. It's unbelievably good.

5:12 Steve forgot to go to the headlines at 4 so he'll do it now.
5:13 Headlines with Buzz
5:17 Right now it seems a lot safer to be in Iraq than to be in the Boy Scouts.

5:32 More Headlines with Buzz
5:33 They need to get something less efficient to test the water in Lake Michigan, Steve doesn't think that the water is any dirtier than its been, its just that the testing of it is more rigorous.
5:34 Changing the name of Marshall Field's in Chicago isn't a good idea. New York stuff just doesn't work here.
5:35 Another good reason to visit Berlin, besides the beer gardens and the fact that Michael Jackson may be moving there, is that there is legalized prostitution.
5:44 Juan Carlos Fajita isn't a big sports fan, but you'd think he'd bone up on the Cubs since he works for the Tribune. The least he could do was figure out how to pronounce Ryne Sandberg's name.
5:45 Live read: Big Bowl
5:58 Live read: OnStar
5:59 Wendy's getting a new OnStar equipped vehicle on Monday. Mac is going to pick it up because Wendy doesn't want to.
6:00 Wendy will have the full OnStar package so now she can set up elaborate scenarios of her getting lost. She doesn't know all the alternate routes that Steve does so she's looking forward to using it for that. She's really laying it on thick today.
6:00 Steve's not sure if he can do the Ben Gay segment everyday. Maybe he could. Maybe Ben had a hissy fit and left because he's been waiting all day to go on.
6:01 Ben is having a hissy fit and leaving. He's sick of waiting around for "that fat bastard" to go to him. Ben does want to know if Wendy's a drag queen though.
6:11 Buzz is okay with sharing the newsroom with Ben.
6:12 Ben needs to know...is it a drag queen?
6:13 Ben wants to know what he can do for caller Mark, but they can get to that off the air.
6:14 Ben likes knocking stuff over in the newsroom and making Buzz bend over and pick it up. He's got a fabulous ass.
6:15 Ben likes to pronounce Aramis like the cologne which is peppery and potent. Aramis had a pinch-hit single in the 9th. Ouch!
6:16 Ben might stick exclusively with the Cubs on his sports reports.
6:21 Everyone is saying Rex Grossman is a leader. He could lead Ben into the bedroom anytime.
6:32 Bob Sirott needs to lay off the Steve & Garry stuff. It's just Steve now. Bob has some crazy vision of everything working out between the two of them but as far as Steve's concerned everything has worked out.
6:33 Bob & Rich Melman are always trying to get Steve and Garry to have lunch but he's not interested.
6:34 Why does Pete even put the Bob Sirott audio up? Maybe he's lashing out because Steve was making fun of the Cubs and their wild card chances.

6:37 There is no one outside of the studio right now. Was there a fire or something?
6:38 News with Buzz
6:40 If you want to kill someone do it with a gun or pollution, not abortion.
6:45 Stever's Local Band-Aid: The Master Plan, Store Bought Rebels
6:57 There was a lot of scurry around during the break. Buzz didn't forget about the band list, he just thought he had another break to do it.
6:58 Steve was under the impression Buzz labored over the list all week at home.
