| Matt and Brendan are running a little late today but it's not a big deal because Steve has 5 hours. They could take it all the way to three if they want. |
| 2:02
| Steve didn't see Matt Dahl's IM apologizing for going over. He was trying to convince Stephanie to stay on Weight Watchers because she had a bad weigh-in. Those are the days you need to stay on it. |
| 2:03
| Steve had to put himself to sleep last night with a butterscotch sundae so he put on a pound. Plus he was just in the Green Room having a handful of potato chips. Nobody's perfect. |
| 2:04
| The last time Matt was out watching the house he was amazed at the butterscotch squeeze bottle Steve had. Matt put a layer of butterscotch on his sundae, then ate that off and took the bottle with him to bed so he could keep renewing the supply. |
| 2:05
| Eating the top layer is a bad habit Matt picked up from the hot fudge eaters, of which Steve is not. It's a little disappointing that Matt had the squeeze bottle in his room just to top off his sundae and not for some sort of Mickey Rourke/9 1/2 Weeks thing. |
| 2:07
| Song: The Lottery Song, Harry Nilsson |
| 2:09
| Buzz just saw a very dejected Matt Dahl leaving the studio. He had some technical difficulties which sent him into a tailspin. Part of Steve likes to see that happen just so the kids know how he suffers. |
| 2:10
| Matt can't go out onto the street looking like that because it doesn't reflect well on WCKG. |
| 2:11
| Steve doesn't listen to Matt's show because he's not a fan. Not really, he just doesn't want to be a crazy radio dad. |
| 2:12
| Matt was trying to replay the Ron Artest 9-11 tape and there was a stoppage. It was a last-minute thing so he wasn't prepared. When you have a 1 hour show you always need to be prepared. |
| 2:13
| Matt was able to roll on and started talking like Ron Artest. Steve didn't notice a disturbance in the force so it seems like it went fine. Matt read in the paper today that he was talented and it's already gone right to his head. |
| 2:14
| Now Matt has to go home and write a paper for his philosophy class. Buzz thought Drew was making him write an essay as punishment. Matt's essay is about Fyodor Dostoyevsky Notes from the Underground, it's all about existentialism. |
| 2:15
| The other day when Steve was complaining about feeling lonely in the back of the limo on the way to the station Buzz said it was an existential problem. |
| 2:16
| The limo guy did say he was being taken care of and he didn't seem mad about anything so that's good. Steve did learn yesterday that My Chauffeur might want to make this a weekly thing instead of a monthly thing. |
| 2:17
| Steve could watch TV in the back of the limo but that also seems very lonely and Howard Hughes-esque. |
| 2:18
| Steve's going to play the Ron Artest audio and show Matt how a pro does it. The problem is that the player is faster than the download. Matt should have waited for the audio to load all the way. |
| 2:19
| Matt says he waited for the audio to load, but Steve heard a stoppage. Already Rob Feder is trying to print a new version of today's column. |
| 2:20
| It's nice that the kids are present for the 9-11 call from Ron Artest's dumb girlfriend. |
| 2:21
| This sort of sounds like what happened to Neil Steinberg, if Neil were black and a basketball player. |
| 2:22
| Based on the phone call Steve is a little disappointed with the quality of tail Ron Artest is pulling down. He's an NBA player and it sounds like his mom is calling 9-11! |
| 2:27
| Hopefully Matt is feeling a little better after the tape was played but it didn't seem like it. Steve was depressed for the first 10 years he was in radio. |
| 2:28
| Buzz remembers when he first started out in radio being depressed for days if he messed something up. Steve is surprised he was ever that conscientious. |
| 2:29
| Steve would carry his mistake over from day to day, making things worse until he bottomed out and was born again. Then the cycle would begin again. |
| 2:30
| The times when the mistakes are the worst for Steve is if they're at the end of the show. If he has time to correct the mistake it's fine. It's especially bad when there's a hard end for a basketball game and he can't come back on and correct the mistake. |
| 2:31
| There's a hard end tonight at 6:30 so hopefully nothing bad happens between 6:00 and 6:30. Let's not get too experimental during that half hour. |
| 2:32
| Brendan is holding up pretty well after his grueling one hour show that's followed by the grueling task of sitting in front of the phones. Steve recently redesigned Brendan's entire workspace. |
| 2:33
| Brendan is sitting at a horseshoe-shaped desk. On one side is the phone and call screener and on the other side is a laptop. He's usually working on the laptop but whenever he answers the phone he has to do a complete 180º. |
| 2:34
| Brendan has since moved everything to the center of the desk and he feels he's increased his productivity. The call screener is a computer so Brendan could probably do whatever he does on his laptop on there. |
| 2:35
| Brendan was actually told by an engineer to not use the internet on the call screening computer. The engineers are right now dealing with the daylight savings issue. They had to download some new software. We'll see if it's OK on Monday. |
| 2:36
| Brendan was probably sweating that audio clip since he's the one who told Matt where to find it. He could have potentially brought down 2 shows with that one. |
| 2:37
| Whenever Steve would go out in the hallway there would be 10 phone lines lit up and Brendan would be sitting there with his face 2 inches from the screen. When Steve told him to put it all in the center of the desk Brendan looked at him like he was Albert Einstein. Sometimes when the light goes on, it's blinding. |
| 2:38
| It seems like everything is going alright with Matt and Brendan. Brendan seems to be talking much faster than at the beginning of the week. On the first day it took him the entire hour just to get through his name. |
| 2:39
| Steve does have some advice but he didn't think he should say it to Matt because he was so hangdog. At the beginning of their show they have to switch off with Stan and Terry. We don't need to hear the full version of Slippin' in to Darkness everyday though. How long could it take for Matt and Brendan to set up? |
| 2:40
| Steve does play his full closing theme everyday but that's just to give people enough time to not listen to Tom Leykis. |
| 2:41
| Stan and Terry should just get a short loop of Slippin' in to Darkness, they probably wouldn't mind that. Brendan doesn't think Stan and Terry would mind, they're probably listening right now. Steve doesn't think they listen, especially Stan. He always seems to be combing the tunnels in the building dressed like a black lumberjack. |
| 2:42
| Stan seems to be sinking into the entertainment lifestyle. At 1:00 he's got nowhere to be and he's dressed like a sweet black lumberjack with a beret. There's a lot of stuff going on down there, some good trim having lunch. |
| 2:46
| Is Pete implying that Stan and Terry are blerds with that Scrubs drop? Pete was more referring to Stan but sometimes Terry can get pretty nerdy. Stan can get pretty black although he does often go back to the HVAC stuff. |
| 2:47
| Steve would rather hear a crazed black guy than a smart engineer. Steve and Buzz are always trying to present crazed white guys on the show. |
| 2:48
| Steve has been trying to listen to Stan and Terry more. It seems like they're trying to get on the same page. They should get a real black guy in there, like a street black guy. |
| 2:49
| Stan and Terry could use another black guy to bring out their blackness. Working here really brings out the white in you, when you've got Bonnie as your producer and you're working for Drew and Dan. It doesn't get any whiter than that. |
| 2:50
| From time to time Steve sees that Jerome guy who used to be on with Kev in the building. He works for People's Gas but when he was on with Kev he had some bad things happen to him, namely a bad weekend pairing with Frankie "Hollywood" Rodriguez. |
| 2:51
| Occasionally it would be good to see a little Crazy Howard McGee coming from Stan. Ultimately, Stan is crazier than Steve and Buzz. He just needs to tap into it. |
| 2:52
| Stan has the image of the intelligent engineer but if he tapped into the crazy the comedy would be overwhelming. Remember that day in Mexico when he was drunk but refused to admit he was drunk? |
| 2:53
| Terry would be in for the crazy because he's in for anything. One bad habit that Stan has picked up from Steve is the correcting and the nitpicking. Even Steve has tried to stop doing that. No one cares about that stuff any more. |
| 2:54
| Buzz saw Steve extricate himself from those emails between Lisa Nowak and Bill Oefelein. That's not something he would have done in the past. |
| 2:55
| Steve opened up all those emails and knew he was wrong but decided to step back from it. |
| 2:56
| Steve is fine just appreciated Lisa Nowak for putting on a diaper and driving 1,000 miles to confront this woman in a parking garage. |
| 2:57
| When this story first came out it seemed like she had many diapers but it's pretty obvious that she only wore one for the entire ride. If she doesn't want to stop to go to the bathroom she's not going to stop to change her own diaper. |
| 2:58
| It's probably pretty hard to change your own diaper when you're driving or when you're in a bathroom. Do the astronauts change each other's diapers in space? |
| 2:59
| It'd probably be pretty easy to change another person's diaper in space because they're weightless. It's funny to think of one astronaut lifting another's legs up in the air and having one of those baby wipes. |
| 3:00
| Buzz was really amazed that Steve extricated himself from the email nightmare. He's been working with him or around him since the early 80s and that was real growth. |
| 3:01
| Song: Squeeze Box, The Who |
| 3:04
| Steve couldn't remember why he played that song. He and Matt were talking about the squeeze bottle of butterscotch topping. When Steve and Janet were in Arizona Matt availed himself of the butterscotch topping then left it out overnight and had to throw it away. |
| 3:05
| Steve got home from Arizona and wanted to make himself a butterscotch sundae but couldn't find the bottle. It's disappointing to learn that Matt took it up to his room to top himself off. If Steve makes himself a sundae he's satisfied with the finished product. |
| 3:06
| Once you've made the sundae it's a living, breathing entity. You can't just keep replenishing the supply of butterscotch. Why not just mainline the butterscotch? |
| 3:07
| Next time Steve has a sundae he might layer in the butterscotch and the ice cream. |
| 3:08
| For some reason the butterscotch sundae helps Steve get to sleep. Buzz would like to say he gets the same effect from Fig Newton's but he doesn't. He doesn't keep sundae ingredients in the house or else he'd always be eating them. |
| 3:09
| There's a constant supply of little containers of Oberweis vanilla ice cream in Steve's house, someone might be trying to kill him. When you look at a pint of ice cream you see 1000 calories and you know it's bad but with the little containers it only says 190 calories so you think it's not as bad. |
| 3:10
| Buzz went home last night and thought a lot about his weight issues. The problem isn't what he's eating, it's that he isn't running any more. If he's running he can eat whatever he wants. |
| 3:11
| Steve's glad Buzz can come in and get all this stuff out on the air, making them sound like Kathy and Judy. All they're missing is a discussion about their periods, or lack thereof. |
| 3:12
| Steve does have one question left over from yesterday's food discussion, who puts chili on rice? Steve's heard of macaroni but why rice? Did Buzz think it would be healthier? |
| 3:13
| Jonathan Demme's mother Doddie, who Buzz used to call Odious Doddie, used to put chili on rice. |
| 3:14
| Ed Farmer is on the phone and they are on the air today. Chris is covering for him right now and Mark Zarang is also down there. He never found out what happened to the engineer yesterday though. |
| 3:15
| Pete read in the paper today that Ed and Chris' engineer was ill yesterday. Steve's still blaming The Score though. He wouldn't be surprised if the White Sox move over to WCKG immediately. |
| 3:16
| How great would a baseball game sound in stereo? Plus that's Dan Falato's area of expertise. He'd have no problem switching from Cubs to Sox because ultimately he's a jock sniffer. |
| 3:22
| Brant Miller was singing a fairly obscure Who song last night, Pictures of Lilly. It's so obscure that Buzz doesn't even know it. Steve's pretty sure it's on their first album. |
| 3:23
| Buzz is pretty familiar with the first Who album and he doesn't think Pictures of Lilly is on there. That's the one with Boris the Spiderman right? Steve feels pretty confident that he's right but he has no idea how to find out for sure. This is where a Bob and Ron would come in handy but they're not here. |
| 3:24
| It's hard to get this information off iTunes because they usually don't list when the album came out, just when it was added to iTunes. Buzz is fairly certain he's right, although he did think the song was called Boris the Spiderman. |
| 3:25
| Bob of Bob and Ron is on the phone. Pictures of Lilly was not on The Who's first album. It appeared on 1968's Magic Bus: The Who on Tour. |
| 3:26
| It's ironic that Buzz mentioned earlier how Steve extricated himself from the email thing yesterday and then he was pulled right down the rabbit hole with this Who stuff. |
| 3:27
| Remind Steve not to wander down the Who's-first-album alley ever again. Buzz has a very small alley but The Who's first album is in it. |
| 3:28
| Steve was going to play Magic Bus today because the city is driving the Olympic people around on a bus. |
| 3:29
| The bus left 40 minutes late today because there were two guys outside the Olympic delegation's hotel with a megaphone saying that if the Olympics come to Chicago black people would be displaced from their homes. |
| 3:30
| There were literally two dudes out there, how can the cops not detain them? Steve watches COPS, it's totally doable. |
| 3:31
| There was a really great bad girls-themed episode of COPS over the weekend. There was one girl who was pulled over for a traffic stop, although the cop couldn't pin anything on her. |
| 3:32
| He just pulled her over because she was in a suspicious area but ultimately he said she could go but not before he asked if he could search her car. You don't have to say yes to that but she did and there was all sorts of dope in there. |
| 3:33
| The bad girls episodes are always really good, although the one on Saturday also featured a dude in a stolen car. |
| 3:34
| It seemed like the dude was almost going to get away too because he was maintaining. Then he yelled out "Pocahontas" and a transvestite hooker walked over. Then they were both arrested. |
| 3:35
| It was pretty clear that the hooker was a dude. Dude plumbing was visible. |
| 3:36
| Fox always says the second episode of COPS on Saturdays is a bonus, but it's always one hour of COPS. It's just easier to break it up into 2 half hours for syndication. |
| 3:37
| Caller Jennifer can't believe she's calling in about COPS, but it's on all the time and she always watches it. It's on Fox, CourtTV and now some channel called G4. |
| 3:38
| Last night there was a guy who agreed to be searched but then forgot he had a gun in his waistband. Then he told the cop he was a felon. |
| 3:39
| Steve can't stress this enough to all the listeners out there, never agree to a search by a cop. |
| 3:40
| Steve saw that the younger Ligue was back in court today for some sort of involvement in a drive-by shooting. |
| 3:41
| The elder Ligue is in prison so he's staying out of trouble. The good news about this is we get to see the video of them beating up Tom Gamboa again. |
| 3:42
| Steve never noticed until last night that in the Tom Gamboa video it seems at one point like the Ligue's are beating up each other. They're both trying to get at Gamboa and seem to be fighting each other for it. |
| 3:48
| Millions of dollars are being spent trying to get the Olympics to Chicago and the city just lets two knuckleheads in fatigue jackets stand outside a hotel with a megaphone? |
| 3:49
| The mayor looked very unhappy with what was happening so those guys were probably taken out back and shot. There might be a megaphone we could get our hands on though. |
| 3:50
| Who cares about freedom of speech, what about our freedom to have the Olympics here? |
| 3:51
| The Sun-Times article about the protestors totally miscategorizes the entire thing. The U.S.O.C. tour didn't really get off to a rocky start did it? |
| 3:52
| The U.S.O.C. delegation is staying at the Chicago Hilton and Towers. Hopefully Mark Zarang's brother doesn't get in trouble because he's in charge of loss prevention over there. How hard is it to round up two knuckleheads? |
| 3:53
| Steve's going to play Pictures of Lilly although he might prefer Brant Miller's version to The Who's. |
| 3:54
| Song: Pictures of Lilly, The Who |
| 3:57
| That's an OK song but it's not the greatest Who song. Buzz is sure he's heard that one although he doesn't really remember it. |
| 3:58
| It's not a very well-known Who song but it's the song Brant Miller chose to show everyone how cool he is. It's very similar to the way Mark Malone conveyed how cool he was at the Train show on New Year's Eve when he wore his '62 Bob Dylan tour t-shirt, pressed jeans and a sport coat. He used to be an NFL quarterback ya know. |
| 4:04
| It's always good to have the mayor thanking Crazy Howard McGee. That was for Jennifer Hudson Day, which for some reason WCKG wasn't invited to. It seemed to be sponsored by WGCI and WVON. Steve didn't know it was just a black thing. |
| 4:05
| Crazy Howard McGee really is crazy. Steve was on a radio panel with him once and he's crazy, like the black Mike North. Stan should be more like Crazy Howard McGee but not all the way. |
| 4:06
| Caller Craig was driving through Washington Park to take his son to school and there were a couple hundred flag polls of all the different Olympic nations presumably in the area where the stadium is supposed to go. |
| 4:14
| That Barack (Bizrack) Obama has had some interesting financial problems already. He invested in some fairly obscure stocks that big investors are involved in. He sold them when he found out what was going on. |
| 4:15
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:16
| Lisa Nowak was fired by NASA, coincidentally or not, on the final day of her 30-day suspension. So now is she an ass or a naut? |
| 4:17
| 2 people have won the Mega Millions jackpot but they're not from Illinois. Someone forwarded Steve an article about a guy in Kansas City who won the lottery and used his trick of buying two tickets with the same number on them. |
| 4:23
| After 50 years of fighting crime, Marvel Comics has killed off Captain America. He was struck with a snipers bullet on his way to court. Did he actually have any super powers? |
| 4:24
| Captain America has no superhuman powers but because of Super-Soldier serum he was transformed into the perfect specimen. It sounds like he was doing steroids, that's probably why they got rid of him. |
| 4:25
| They probably killed him because no one wants to see a superhero with no super powers. |
| 4:30
| Dan Jiggets is on the phone and he's doing good, at least better than Lance Briggs right now. |
| 4:31
| Steve doesn't get this Lance Briggs thing. He's going to make $7 million this year. It's not about how much he's going to make though, it's about how much he could make. |
| 4:32
| Joey Porter just signed with the Dolphins for $20 million guaranteed and he's only half the player Briggs is. |
| 4:33
| Everyday Steve wakes up and something bad is happening to the Bears. Sure he was complaining about sitting in the rain at the Super Bowl but enough is enough. |
| 4:34
| Dan doesn't necessarily agree with the Bears bailing on Thomas Jones and casting their lot with Cedric Benson. Having the two of them together was a great combination. |
| 4:35
| Thomas Jones basically left because he wanted more money and more playing time. He wanted to be the main running back on the team. |
| 4:36
| The Bears are making a huge gamble that Cedric Benson can stay healthy and perform well. At some point they have to see how he's going to do before he reaches free agency. |
| 4:37
| Dan thinks that after all the hand-wringing, Briggs will come back and play for the Bears. The door isn't closed on a long-term deal with him. |
| 4:38
| Brian Urlacher has stated in the past that he wants Lance Briggs to stay on the team and we'll probably hear from him again. Steve keeps getting pictures of him in Vegas partying with girls so he's probably not in town right now. |
| 4:39
| Steve's been watching Dan's daughter on NBC and she's very cute and capable. Luckily she got her looks from her mom. |
| 4:40
| Mike North is going to be on Chicago Tribune Live today because Steve never wants to come over. |
| 4:41
| Steve would love to do the show again but he can't take off work. He was thinking of maybe doing a video uplink like they have on CNN. It's gotta be better than having Sam Smith on every other day. |
| 4:42
| Rick Morrissey is also on today and Dan's going to straighten him out about his column today. He got on Lance Briggs a little bit and took the Bears side on the situation. |
| 4:50
| Steve's already checking on the videophone that CNN uses. Then he and Buzz could be on Comcast. |
| 4:51
| The one that CNN uses only costs $7,950. Drew would spring for that right? Probably not. Steve doesn't want to buy one either. They'll probably just send a picture of Steve over and it'll say "on phone: Steve Dahl" |
| 4:52
| Steve would like to play Magic Bus even though we've already played 2 Who songs. |
| 4:53
| Pictures of Lilly was a song about a kid with a magazine. As it turns out Lilly died in the 20s and the photo was a given to Pete Townsend by his dad. |
| 4:54
| Normally you don't get your spank material from your parents. Part of the fun of having that stuff is stealing it. |
| 4:55
| Tyrone is on the phone. He's coming off a choptater tour of Chicago with the U.S.O.C. They were just going from hospital to hospital using their helipads. |
| 4:56
| Tyrone's got an accident to report on but he's also in the middle of putting together a comprehensive report on the Dan Ryan construction. |
| 4:57
| The Dan Ryan construction is basically a way to prevent black people from getting home. |
| 4:58
| Then when the black man can't get home he'll default on his home and it'll be bought out from under him by the bank and sold to the white man. |
| 4:59
| Sure you can take Stony Island, but Buzz sees what Tyrone is saying right? |
| 5:00
| This does give people a chance to see the other sides of their neighborhoods. Would it be so bad to drive through Bronzeville everyday? |
| 5:01
| Steve could really use a pick me up right about now. This really is a pick me up too. |
| 5:02
| Buzz is welcome to have a donut but he can't start complaining about gaining weight. |
| 5:07
| Ben Gay is here! Como estas? Ben has been filling his time out in Arizona at Spring Training. Those baseball players are hot-blooded and horny. |
| 5:08
| The great thing about a lot of the hotels where players stay is the big hot tubs. You can fit 8 or 10 people in those things, it's a great place to get things started. |
| 5:10
| Ben will probably go down and cover the Grapefruit League now that's he covered the Cactus League. Although Chicago doesn't have any teams in the Grapefruit League so it would be hard to submit travel expenses to the station. |
| 5:11
| Ben was thinking of doing a piece on Freddy Garcia who's now with the Phillies and down in Florida. |
| 5:12
| The White Sox lost to the Royals today but it doesn't really matter. The Cubs are beating the A's right now but that also doesn't matter. |
| 5:13
| On Saturday Cubs pitcher Mark Prior will pitch out of the bullpen. That's a long way to pitch from. |
| 5:14
| The Cubs have also remodeled the players clubhouse to make it more vibrant and inviting. That seems like the opposite direction you'd want to go in. |
| 5:16
| In college basketball action DePaul lost to Villanova in the first round of the Big East tournament. |
| 5:19
| An acquaintance of O.J. Simpson has revealed that he knew Anna Nicole Smith and may have slept with her. That's very gentlemanly of him. |
| 5:25
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 5:27
| Bob and Ron are here for rock history, obviously. |
| 5:28
| There are a lot of birthdays to celebrate this week. FIrst off Hugh Grundy and Chris White of The Zombies celebrate their birthdays this week. |
| 5:29
| It's also the birthday of Townes Van Zandt this week. Bob and Ron selected a Townes Van Zandt song today that Steve has never heard of. |
| 5:30
| According to Bob and Ron it's one of Van Zandt's more well-known songs. Steve feels that he knows most of his songs but he doesn't know this one. |
| 5:31
| Bob and Ron were turned on to Townes Van Zandt by Steve and they really think he'll like this song. Steve doesn't have the energy to like new songs. |
| 5:32
| Maybe Bob and Ron are right but based on past performances Steve highly doubts it. He doesn't like when a turning-onto is shoved up his keister. It's like when Pete recommends a song on Thursdays and then when Steve actually likes it he gets all backwards. |
| 5:33
| We can play the song and see how it goes although Steve doesn't feel good about it. Is there anyway they could turn down their theme music over there? |
| 5:34
| Song: Lungs, Townes Van Zandt |
| 5:35
| Alright, that's enough of that song. Steve's not playing any song that starts off "won't you lend your lungs to me, mine are collapsing." How about some Zombies? |
| 5:36
| Song: Time of the Season, The Zombies |
| 5:39
| Rod Argent was also in The Zombies. Hold your head up! Buzz knows what we're talking about right? |
| 5:44
| Just to really shove Steve's face in all this music stuff, Pete plays a Gilmore GIrls drop. |
| 5:45
| Pete was running Bob and Ron's music a little hot today, is he trying to drown them out? Normally when you go into Pete's studio to talk to him the music is blaring so he doesn't have to acknowledge you. |
| 5:46
| Pete is trying to separate himself from Bob and Ron. He cringes every time Steve compares him to Bob and Ron. The only difference is that Pete runs and eats yogurt and they sit around and smoke pot. Pete likes new stuff and Bob and Ron like old stuff but it's the same elitist mentality. |
| 5:47
| As far as Steve can tell the ladies aren't digging that at all. Ron does have a steady girlfriend but that doesn't have the feel of romantic love to Steve. It seems like she just needed a place to crash and she knows she's stronger than him and can fend off his advances. |
| 5:48
| When you look at Jim kid and his black girlfriend you know that's real love. Jim is actually dating Cheryl Burton, a lot of people don't know that. |
| 5:49
| Buzz doesn't watch the channel 7 news even though he should because it's in HD. Last night Cheryl Burton was at a club with Jennifer Hudson and there were all sorts of dudes trying to get up on them. |
| 5:50
| Caller Killian is freaking out a little. Steve couldn't hear when he said he'd been on the website and Killian thought he was making some sexual reference. Now someone is dialing Killian's phone. What's going on here? This guy has to go. |
| 5:51
| Killian was wondering what the music list hasn't been updated on Dahl.com. Buzz thought he was talking about his music list. Does Buzz have a music list? No, so that isn't directed at him. |
| 5:52
| Pete does a music list twice a year but he hasn't done one since the end of 2006. We don't really have lists any more. |
| 5:53
| Pete wanted to add that he had an interesting interaction with Bonnie of Stan & Terry's show. Apparently one of their listeners had read Pete's blog from a couple of weeks ago when Steve was on hiatus. In the blog Pete refers to "the late Pete McMurray" and the guy was wondering if he had died. |
| 5:54
| Pete used the line because that's how Steve refers to McMurray and it's funny. Apparently Bonnie found it in poor taste and told Pete as much. What was she doing in his studio? |

| Bonnie must have had time to lecture Pete after she got the latest D-list celebrity guest into the studio to be interviewed by Stan and Terry. |
| 5:56
| Steve actually gave Pete McMurray some good career advice recently. He wants to come back to Chicago but he doesn't have a job offer. Steve told him that he can live in Chicago but do a show in Rockford because he's huge there. That will give him a chance to make his show better and if he gets a job offer here, he'll have some current tapes to give them. |

| When Steve says someone is "the late Pete McMurray" or whoever it's also because they're dead to him once they leave. The only exception is Jeff Schwartz although he's on life-support now. |

| News with Buzz |
| 6:05
| Senator Chuck Haegl raised the notion that President Bush could be impeached over the war in Iraq. |
| 6:06
| Steve needs to interrupt Buzz briefly. We're supposed to be done at 6:30 tonight. The way the breaks are set-up they air at :20, :40 and :50. |
| 6:07
| Since we're done at 6:30 the 6:20 break should be the last break but they've crammed two breaks into the last half hour. Maybe Steve will just fire off that 6:40 break right at 6:40 while the game is going on. |
| 6:13
| Steve didn't mean to cut Buzz off but he's a little outraged. Steve doesn't really like being off early but if that's going to happen then the station is going to lose two breaks during the 6:00 PM hour. |
| 6:14
| It seems like they're trying to have the best of both worlds but at least someone could have come down here and asked if it was alright. |
| 6:15
| If the show is going to be off at 6:30 then the station misses out on 2 breaks. Between 6:00 and 6:30 Steve only takes one break. |
| 6:16
| Steve only complains about it because the station always tries to screw him. All he tries to do his help them so he gets tired of it. |

| Now back to the news. |
| 6:19
| It's ironic that Buzz pointed out Steve's growth yesterday with the astronaut emails and then he lapsed into something more childish today. |
| 6:20
| Buzz doesn't think it's childish at all, he knows exactly what Steve is saying. Someone should grease Steve's palm when he comes out of the studio. Or maybe he'll go down to Dan's office and punch him. Then he'll give Dan a $20. |
| 6:21
| Steve also smelled french fries because that kid working on the Bulls game was eating dinner. |
| 6:24
| Back to the news with Buzz, if he has anything else left. That break wasn't too long, it's just the principal. |
| 6:25
| Members of the U.S.O.C. toured Washington Park with Mayor Daley today. The park would be the centerpiece of the Chicago Olympics, featuring an 80.000 seat temporary stadium. |
| 6:26
| The I.O.C. won't make a decision on who will host the 2016 games until 2009. Steve can wait though, he'll just be hanging out downtown. |
