| Song: I'm Ready, Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson |
| 2:05
| That ties in with the Bears right? They were ready for the Seahawks. That song has what Buzz considers the greatest verse in blues music. That line is "I got an axe handle pistol on a graveyard frame that shoot tombstone bullets, wearin' balls and chain. I'm drinkin' TNT, I'm smokin' dynamite, I hope some screwball start a fight. 'Cause I'm ready, ready as anybody can be." |
| 2:06
| Isn't that song at the end of The Blues Brothers, where Joe Walsh gets up on the table and dances. |
| 2:07
| There is of course the Bears game to talk about, although it seems like it's already been talked about quite a bit. Last night's NBC news was replaced with a replay of the game. They did one story and that's it. |
| 2:08
| Tommy Skillethead is checking in with a thunderstorm warning out of the National Weather Service station in Romeoville, Romeoville, where for art though Romeoville? It's been a while since Tommy did nude Shakespeare in the park. The last time was in Reykjavik, Iceland. |
| 2:09
| It seems like we're having the same problems with weather information that we did last time. Then Tommy got mad, slammed a door and broke something. |
| 2:10
| There's too much information coming in. First it was just Cook County but now it's Will also. Mark Czerniec, the crazy weather guy is on the phone. It's like he's trying to take Tommy's job. |
| 2:11
| First Mark posted the Cook County warning, then one came up for Will so he posted that. |
| 2:12
| Mark would make great weather spotter if he'd ever be interested in coming to a seminar. It involves an overnight, a rigorous training session and Q & A. It would be like Officer and a Gentleman where Tommy is hosing Mark down while asking questions about cumulus clouds. |
| 2:13
| There's some nickel-sized hail being reported which is great if you want to get a gumball. |
| 2:14
| If Mark gets through the overnight seminar then he moves on to a weekend retreat and finally a trip to the North Woods. One |
| 2:15
| On Saturday Steve was watching War of the Worlds, because he has no particular college affiliation. He should have watched Illinois/Michigan State since Mike went there. He can't watch Northwestern games though. They have a 14-year old coaching the team. |
| 2:16
| Steve was watching the Steven Spielberg remake of War of the Worlds on HD. Steve didn't hate the movie but he was extremely disappointed that Tom Cruise's character didn't start operating one of the monsters, since at the beginning they showed him deftly operating a giant crane. |
| 2:17
| Steve was expecting him to get sucked up into one of the robots, take control of it and start attacking the other robots. |
| 2:18
| By the way, there is a map up in the studio in case there are any problems in the weather forecast. So far Steve understands the progress of the storm. |
| 2:19
| This was the first version of War of the Worlds that Steve has seen. He's familiar with the radio play and he read the book by H.G. Wells, father of Orson. |
| 2:20
| Even with all of that previous knowledge about how the story ends, Steve was still disappointed that Tom Cruise didn't get up into the cockpit and start operating one of the robots. |
| 2:21
| Had Steve been in the pitch meeting with Steven Spielberg he would have thought that was a great idea. Then he would have asked him how he got in there. |
| 2:25
| Dusty Baker did not get his contract renewed by the Cubs, but that Jim Hendry guy is still there. At least Andy MacPhail knew to get out. |
| 2:26
| Jim Hendry needs a makeover because that haircut ain't happening. Now John McDonough is in charge and Steve knows him. He's know him for a long time and he's a nice guy. |
| 2:27
| Steve likes John McDonough because he does what he has to do. He's been ordered to keep Steve away from that team and that's what he's done. They can still be friends though, maybe have a lunch or something. |
| 2:28
| Steve doesn't see the Tribune selling the Cubs any time though. They might sell off the broadcasting interests or the newspaper interests but the Cubs are an asset that never loses value. |
| 2:29
| The Cubs had the worst record in the National League and they still broke attendance records this year. |
| 2:30
| Pete was one of the few people who wanted to keep Dusty. The Cubs need stability more than anything. |
| 2:31
| Dusty is a good manager and he knows a lot about baseball. It's not his fault that half his team was injured. Jim Hendry is the guy who didn't get the right players in the off-season. |
| 2:32
| Steve does like Joe Girardi though but he doesn't really care one way or the other about Lou Pinella. Based on his broadcasting career he seems sort of dumb and he has that Pete Rose/Mo Howard haircut. |
| 2:33
| The Cubs ranked 6th in attendance and the Sox were 9th. Yesterday the Cubs attendance was announced at 39,000 but it looked like there were only 25,000 at the park. |
| 2:34
| The Cubs won yesterday and it was a nice day for a game. Buzz thinks things are looking up for the Cubs. It's not like his Tigers finished the season that well. They did exactly what everyone thought the White Sox were going to do last year. |
| 2:35
| If you're Jim Hendry and wake up in the morning with that hair, you've got some problems. |
| 2:36
| Even though Steve doesn't play sports, he gets the mental aspect of it. He has to prepare mentally every day for a show, although the rest of his body below the neck isn't really involved. |
| 2:37
| The wind really came out of the Sox' sails this year when Ozzie had to back down from the Jay Mariotti thing. Last year he didn't back down at all. |
| 2:38
| Joe Girardi did a good job with the Marlins, even though their team payroll is less than that of the show. Steve liked him as a Cubs player too. |
| 2:39
| The Cubs need to get rid of Wood and Prior but they should keep Zambrano and the all-French outfield. |
| 2:40
| Juan Pierre is a free agent and there's a chance he could go to the White Sox. He could be what Scott Podsednik was last year. He doesn't have a great arm but they could put him in left. |
| 2:41
| Steve met A.J. Pierzynski last night at the Bears game. It was quite an exciting evening plus there was a football game. |
| 2:45
| The biggest problem the Cubs have is that fans come there like they're visiting Yellowstone Park, if Steve could say so with a mouthful of food. |
| 2:46
| Steve thinks that the fans would be happy with a division win to start off with, but he can say that since the Sox won the World Series last year. That's what he told A.J. last night. |
| 2:47
| Before the game Steve and Mike went down to the field for a little bit. They saw Bob Sirott and Allison Rosati and took some pictures on the field. |
| 2:48
| Steve had a Blade Runner moment at the game though. He got there early because there's a parking space he likes for easy-out. They left at the two-minute warning and Steve was home in a half hour. |
| 2:49
| Steve wanted to stay until the end but Mike wanted to leave so he could catch a cab home. |
| 2:50
| Steve, the bouncer from the Jerry Springer Show, was also on the field and he recognized Steve so they started talking. Steve's a fan of Jerry Springer, especially the pay-per-view shows with the nudity. |
| 2:51
| During the game, A.J. came up to the seats where they were. He seemed to know Steve, probably because he's a wrestling fan. Steve and A.J. talked for a little bit and Mike Dahl was impressed that he was able to get six different topics out in a short period of time. |
| 2:52
| Steve did his joke about Brian Anderson's average going up because of all the hits he got in on John Mabry. Then A.J. said that's probably why Anderson's average didn't go up which made Steve think he didn't like him. |
| 2:53
| Now that Steve only has one kid left in college he's getting himself some fancy seats for sporting events. Steve's seats are in the Skyline Suites, which are indoors. It's like a giant skybox for 166 people. |
| 2:54
| The Skyline Suite has some great food including corned prime rib, which Steve had never heard of before. |
| 2:55
| Tommy Skillethead has some updated weather information, although he hates to interrupt Steve talking about strapping on the feedbag last night to the tune of 10,000 calories. |
| 2:56
| Also in the Skyline Suite there was a girl walking around with self-contained lamb chops. You could just grab one and eat it like a corn dog. |
| 2:57
| You might recall at the Bears Convention broadcast, Dan Falato and Drew had about a thousand lamb chops each. |
| 2:58
| Caller Jay is in East Chicago, in the middle of a hailstorm. It's let up too much now though. |
| 2:59
| Tommy can't do these weather updates all day, there are just too many different storms. Can't there just be one storm instead of a bunch of little ones? |
| 3:00
| The best part about meeting A.J. was that he had the 2005 World Series hat on. Mike was wearing his Bears script hat which he had to buy. Brian McCaskey promised one of those to Steve at the Bears convention but he hasn't come through. |
| 3:01
| Steve needs to call Brian McCaskey and get an all-access pass because he can't see guys like Les Grobstein walking around with one. Plus he was denied access into a certain area. |
| 3:02
| Steve knew that he would be prevented from getting into this area but Mike kept insisting that they try anyway. He must get that mentality from Janet. |
| 3:03
| If they could have seen Steve talking to A.J. they would give him the all-access pass. It's not like he's going to bother any of the Bears players before the game. He doesn't want to be involved in any situation that could distract the Bears since he's still being blamed for that loss to the Dolphins in '85 |
| 3:04
| Steve and Garry were broadcasting from a hotel in Miami and Les Grobstein was at the game. He handed off the cellphone to Tom who talked to Steve and Garry on the phone for a few minutes. |
| 3:05
| At one point during the call Coach saw Tom talking on the phone with his helmet under his arm. That was later written about in Coach's book, although he never identified who was on the other end of the phone. |
| 3:06
| As a Dolphins fan, Buzz enjoyed the Bears losing that game in '85 since it meant the '72 Dolphins were the only undefeated team. Buzz was wondering how he would feel if the Bears had a chance of going undefeated. |
| 3:07
| Steve was also in San Diego with the Cubs in 1984. He wasn't at he stadium, but he was at the team hotel doing shots. There was also a donkey show in Mexico, but Steve turned around right at the border. |
| 3:08
| It was Steve's idea to go to the donkey show so Sut and his friend Bob Wells got into one care and Steve and Dan Falato got in the other. Right at the border, Steve decided they needed to turn around. |
| 3:09
| Who would have thought that the Cubs would have gone out to San Diego and lost 3 games in a row? |
| 3:10
| When you're on the field even Robbie Gould looks big, and he's the smallest guy on the team. The field is crowned though so they 're all higher up than the people on the sidelines. |
| 3:11
| It all looked very dangerous and Steve was just watching the warm-ups. That's why they get paid lots of money though. |
| 3:12
| Steve can see how it's hard to draw a line when you're a football player, like that guy on the Titans. For the entire day you're assaulting the other team and then something like that happens. Not that Steve agrees with what the guy did though. |
| 3:13
| Almost everything that happens in a football game is an assault on someone else. |
| 3:14
| That guy from the Titans has been suspended although no one knows how long for. Brendan heard it could be up to 4 games. |
| 3:20
| One thing Steve forgot to talk about was getting to the game early yesterday. Since Mike Dahl didn't have a press pass he and Steve toured the parking facilities and checked out all of the tailgating. |
| 3:21
| They went to the Waldron deck which is just south of the stadium. It's a two-level parking lot and people tailgate on the top level. |
| 3:22
| Everyone has there tailgating stuff spread out so people are taking up more than one parking space. In the area where you would theoretically be able to walk around, there were a bunch of guys playing that beanbag game. |
| 3:23
| It's sort of difficult to get by those games without interrupting. Steve was doing his best to not get in the way but at some point there's nothing he can do. |
| 3:24
| Steve was called a name by one of the players after the guy missed because he was walking through. They passed another game but those people were fans so it was fine. They also weren't set up right in the middle of the lane. |
| 3:25
| You can't set up right in the middle of the lane like that, you're just playing beanbag. You're standing there with a beer in one hand, throwing a beanbag with the other into a wooden board that doesn't have to be as big as it is. |
| 3:26
| People were fairly hammered by the time Steve and Mike arrived. If the game starts at noon there's something regulating the drinking but when it starts at 7:15 there's nothing to stop people. |
| 3:27
| It's a good thing the Bears won last night because it could have gotten ugly afterwards. |
| 3:28
| It has to be a nightmare just to transport these beanbag games. You've got two giant pieces of plywood in your car and you're a grown man. |
| 3:29
| Caller Allison says that the parking lots opened at 6:00 AM yesterday. Steve must have been with that crowd last night, he was almost raped and he's not that good looking. |
| 3:30
| That's a long time to drink in one day. Why don't they just tailgate at the Betty Ford Clinic? |
| 3:31
| Not only was everyone hammered and wearing Urlacher jerseys but it was a complete sausage fest, and he's not talking about what's on the grill. There were a few girls here and there but not enough to make it look fun. |
| 3:32
| When Steve was drinking he didn't need a game. If you have to play a game you're not drinking enough. Maybe he would put his hand on a hot grill or something, but throwing beanbags into a hole? C'mon! They need to move off beer at that point. |
| 3:38
| Beanbag seems to be a cultural phenomenon although somehow Steve and Buzz both missed out on it. It's a somewhat new game though. |
| 3:39
| When Steve would visit Mike at U of I there were always a lot of beanbag games set up in front of the frat houses. |
| 3:40
| Mike and his friends still play the game at parties. Over the summer Steve was at a party for one of his friends, got in a beanbag tournament and was knocked out in the first round. |
| 3:41
| Steve didn't really care about the game since he wasn't drinking. It's the same with shuffleboard in Florida. There are a lot of empty shuffleboard courts because no one is drinking. |
| 3:42
| Steve and Buzz were in South Bend over the weekend. They rented that house they found on Ticketsnow.com and got there on Friday night. Buzz tried his hardest to get Steve to come across the street to the bar but once he had the leprechaun and Charlie Weiss in the house he didn't need to leave. |
| 3:43
| If you want to go see the Bears play the Bills this Sunday, you can get tickets on Ticketsnow.com. Buzz's second favorite coach Dick Jauron is Buffalo's head coach. |
| 3:44
| Even if the Bills are winning on Sunday you'll still get to see Dick Jauron's frown. |

| 3:48
| That guy from the Titans has been suspended for 5 games. During halftime of the game last night Peter King from Sports Illustrated said he wouldn't be suspended. You can't do that and not get suspended. |
| 3:49
| How about that Terrell Owens? Tries to kill himself on Monday and has 88 yards in the game yesterday. |
| 3:57
| No one wants to talk about T.O. any more but it seems like he tried to kill himself. We heard last week that his fiancee just broke up with him so at the very least it was an attention-getting device. |
| 3:58
| T.O. has so much to live for, including the huge contract he just got from the Cowboys. That's what his publicist said which isn't cool to say. If you hang out with enough people who think like that maybe you'll want to kill yourself. |
| 3:59
| Steve has some audio for the headlines, although it's not quite 4:00 yet. He has all of this news theme music but have we selected one yet? |
| 4:00
| All of the music Buzz heard put him in a strange frame of mind. He doesn't want to come out of the headlines thinking he's Walter Cronkite. |
| 4:01
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:02
| Three students are dead and one is wounded after a shooting at an Amish school in Pennsylvania. Did the shooter use wooden bullets? |
| 4:03
| Buzz doesn't want the news music for the entire time though, at some point he has to come down. Although if that's what Steve wants he's up to the challenge. |
| 4:04
| That Mark Foley guy doesn't look creepy at all. He did follow Steve's advice and go right into a rehab. Your best bet in a situation like this is to blame it on the alcohol. |
| 4:05
| The fact that Foley was behind a lot of internet predator legislation is probably why people are up in arms. Although who better to author a law to protect children from pedophiles than an alleged pedophile? |
| 4:06
| Dick Durbin is outraged by all this but he's probably just happy that it's a Republican in trouble. |
| 4:07
| Steve hasn't been following this story too closely, although he should be since he can't stop watching To Catch a Predator on Dateline. |
| 4:08
| The most fascinating thing about the Dateline special is that the people actually stick around and talk to the reporters. |
| 4:09
| Steve reads a transcript between Foley and the young page. This sounds like entrapment to Buzz. He really needs to stop coming down on the side of the pedophile. |
| 4:14
| Steve and Foley were born in the same year and they have that same silver-haired look. A lot of this will probably sound familiar to Brendan. |
| 4:18
| Thanks to the Congressman's fine administration, Steve can't say some of the things in this transcript. Of course he can send it to some 16-year old kid. |
| 4:20
| This thing has a Rock Hudson feel to it. The kid shouldn't have gone along with it as long as he did, he's graphically describing what goes on. |
| 4:21
| The whole transcript is on ABC.com. At one point the Congressman asks him about fetishes and he says he likes the Catholic school girl look. |
| 4:25
| There are two things that make To Catch a Predator. The first thing is that the suspect sits down with the reporter, even though he has no authority whatsoever. |
| 4:34
| Live read: OnStar |
| 4:36
| Buzz is not quite done with the headlines which is good because Steve isn't quite done with his lunch. |
| 4:37
| Everyone needs to go easy on this Super Bowl talk, there are still 12 more games to play in the season. |
| 4:38
| George Michael has been busted once again, this time after he was found slump over in his car with marijuana in his hand. Jorge! |
| 4:39
| Eric Clapton will no longer play the song Cocaine in concert any more. Buzz hates Eric Clapton, because he stole his look and he often plays with his back to the crowd. |
| 4:40
| Buzz always though of Eric Clapton as a poser, as did Steve. There are plenty of other good guitar players out there. |
| 4:41
| Steve just bought Cocaine, and by that he means the song not the drug. He was trying to view the lyrics. |
| 4:42
| Buzz just reread the Clapton article and he's actually going to start playing the song again. He stopped right after he got sober but then he read the lyrics and realized it was an anti-drug song. |
| 4:43
| Steve reads the lyrics. It doesn't sound all that anti-drug to Buzz though. It's not very pro-drug either though. He certainly doesn't take a stand like Ringo did in The Sneezing Song. |
| 4:44
| Steve's going to play the J.J. Cale version since he wrote it. You'll notice that Clapton didn't even bother to change the arrangement. It's like I Shot the Sheriff. |
| 4:45
| Song: Cocaine, J.J. Cale |
| 4:48
| Steve wants to play the Clapton version just to show how he totally ripped off Cale and didn't even bother to change anything except the key. What's the point in covering it other than everyone making a million dollars because it's Eric Clapton. |
| 4:49
| Song: Cocaine, Eric Clapton |
| 4:53
| Clapton stopped playing Cocaine in concert because he thought it sent the wrong message. Now he plays it as an anti-drug song and during the song his band sings "dirty cocaine". That changes everything! |
| 4:54
| Eric Clapton has a duets CD with J.J. Cale coming out in November, which explains why he's playing the song live again. |
| 4:57
| Steve's going to start doing his ecstasy song in concert. The first line is "if you want to have sex, you gotta drop X." |
| 5:05
| Joining Steve on the phone is Bears analyst Tom Thayer. That was some good fun last night. It was a full day affair too. |
| 5:06
| Tom is mad at Steve for not coming over and saying hello when he was on the sidelines yesterday. Steve didn't have the proper credentials to get over there. |
| 5:07
| Tom needs to hook Steve up with an all-access pass, or else put a chain around his neck and walk him around with him. |
| 5:08
| Tom's sister just read Steve's article in the Trib last week and she can't believe he ate an entire jar of mayo. |
| 5:09
| It was a cry for help that no one heard. It sounds like something that you would do on a reality TV show but no one paid Steve any money after he was done. |
| 5:10
| Unfortunately the hard plastic all-access passes are made in the pre-season so Drew might have underestimated Steve's interest in the Bears. |
| 5:11
| Tom has never heard a crowd that loud for that long of a time at a Bears game. Steve has never heard it that loud although he's only been to four games. |
| 5:12
| The fans can't be hungover from last night's game next week just because it's the Buffalo Bills and Dick Jauron. |
| 5:13
| The Bears are becoming the media darlings of the NFL and you don't want to see Dick Jauron come in and get a win against the Bears. It would be almost as bad as Dave Wannstedt but luckily he's safely ruining the college program of his alma mater. |
| 5:14
| After the pre-season Tom thought Griese might be the best person to start at QB, but he was proven wrong. Grossman seems to be the most improved player on the team. |
| 5:15
| All of Tom's "keys to the games" were right on the money last night too. The Bears won the time of possession by 9 minutes last night. |
| 5:16
| Steve was in his car listening to Tom and Jeff after the game talking to Lovie Smith. Tom mentioned to Lovie that there was a weak spot on the kick-off coverage. |
| 5:17
| It was just funny to hear Tom talking about that even after a big win. |
| 5:21
| How about that Ricky Manning? Even after all that stuff that happened out in Westwood he came back and got two interceptions. |
| 5:22
| Steve really enjoyed watching Matt Hasselbeck get mad, he's such a baby and he has a pouty face. |
| 5:23
| Hasselbeck needs to embrace the baldness but he seems to be running away from it. Every time he comes off the field he removes his helmet and puts on a hat. |
| 5:29
| Jeff Joniak is becoming quite the prima donna with his health. First we find out he sucks on lemons during the game and then yesterday he was talking about eating chicken soup because he was sick. |
| 5:30
| Jeff kept complaining about being sick yesterday and then Tom said something about it and he wouldn't talk to him until the game started. |
| 5:31
| Jeff came to the game with chicken soup, a container of lemons and some of those hand wipes. Why doesn't he just put a dress on? |
| 5:32
| When the show goes to Mexico Steve will be missing a home game. That's Drew's fault though. He had two years to plan the trip and this is the week he does it. |
| 5:33
| Tom is going to Mexico in July on a surf trip. There's an island off the coast of Baja with no modern conveniences. They only have 11 people on the island and everyone sleeps in a tent. |
| 5:34
| Steve is having a great time at the games this year. The whole atmosphere is like an entirely different universe. Plus the new stadium is really nice. Before the rehab you were really far from the field and the food and when you had to use the bathroom your only option was the portable toilets. |
| 5:35
| Caller Vic noticed that at the end of the game, the Bears defensive line was just sitting there staring at the field like they wanted to go out there again as soon as possible. |
| 5:38
| Chico's doing a hell of a job up in the booth as defensive coordinator too. Even with Shaun Alexander they would have gotten a beating. |
| 5:40
| Caller Joel had a question about Rex Grossman. |
| 5:41
| Rex is always going to be thought of as fragile until he gets a string of starts under his belt. |
| 5:42
| It seems a little premature to compare Grossman to Brett Favre though. They are pretty similar but it's like comparing someone to Marino or Elway. They're in a category of their own but maybe in 5 or 6 years you can make the comparison. |
| 5:43
| Rex doesn't seem to be too rattled by anything since he's used to playing in front of huge, crazed crowds in Florida. |
| 5:44
| Caller George is a little worried about Devin Hester. He's like Bobby Wade Jr. Either of those balls he lost could have gone the other way and turned the game around for Seattle. |
| 5:52
| Buzz noticed a sign during the game yesterday that said "Dear Rex, we're sorry for all the bad stuff we said about you." |

| Song: When You Were Young, The Killers |
| 5:58
| The Killers were on SNL on Saturday. Steve likes them but the lead singer was really flat. Also, someday someone will have to sit Steve down and explain to him why Dane Cook is funny. |
| 5:59
| Buzz was wondering the same thing after seeing several promos for SNL. Nothing seemed funny to him. Maybe it's just because they're old. |
| 6:06
| It seems sort of weird that Steve was just talking about Dane Cook not being funny and then Pete plays a funny moment from SNL that wasn't Dane Cook. |
| 6:07
| It sort of makes Steve look like he doesn't know what he's talking about. This sort of thing happens from time to time though. |
| 6:08
| Pete actually had a tape malfunction and as a result the beginning of the show didn't tape. He didn't think it would be this big of a problem though. |
| 6:09
| Steve has a good idea why there was a tape malfunction because Pete drops his tapes almost everyday. He drops at least one tape everyday, sometimes more. That could be leading to the tape malfunctions. |
| 6:10
| Pete's malfunction actually occurred at home with a new tape. His home taping leaves a lot to be desired, is he on something while he's doing it? |
| 6:11
| Steve could have come back with a more positive spin on the drop Pete chose, which featured Brian Williams being told that he wasn't going to host Weekend Update with Amy Poehler. |
| 6:12
| What Pete should have done during that break is told Steve that although he might be looking for some Dane Cook audio, his tape malfunctioned and all he has is the Brian Williams bit. |
| 6:13
| Of course there's a 50/50 chance that Steve will go nuts on Pete even with the advanced warning. He's playing with a loaded gun here. |
| 6:14
| It doesn't really matter what we say here now, it won't change the way things are. Steve is on the verge of hitting the reset button like at the bowling alley so the pin sweeper can come through on Pete's studio. His studio is right at the critical mass point where Pete is about ready to descend into madness because of all the junk in there. |
| 6:15
| Pete also doesn't get why people like Dane Cook. Jim doesn't think he's funny either and the same goes for Brendan. Somehow he's everywhere though. |
| 6:17
| Pete probably could have found Dane Cook being unfunny on YouTube, although taken out of context it might have been funny. |
| 6:18
| Last week Steve had chats with Pete, Jim and Brendan that he didn't want to have, just to reach out. And now nothing. |
| 6:19
| Maybe we should have a post-show meeting with the staff after the show. Would that help? |
| 6:20
