| 2:00
| That's another grueling one-hour show for Matt and Brendan. Matt might need to go take a nap. Steve thought Matt had an appointment. |
| 2:01
| Matt and Brendan are going to Gibson's tonight but didn't know if they had to make a reservation. Matt's not Steve yet, he's just some skinny kid walking in with a $100 gift certificate. |
| 2:02
| Steve can probably tell Matt the right person to talk to at Gibson's but it doesn't really matter that he's got the $100 gift certificate in his pocket. |
| 2:03
| Brendan has agreed to pay whatever isn't covered by the gift certificate. He's only been there once when Steve took everyone out for dinner. Of course with Jeff Schwartz there he didn't get the real Gibson's experience. It was more like going to Schwartz's. |
| 2:04
| Matt and Brendan should hit the bar before they eat dinner because there's a lot of action up there. Of course that will cost them twice as much because there seem to be a lot of women hanging out there looking for free dinners. |
| 2:05
| Steve did hear Matt and Brendan talking about John Popper getting popped for drug possession. He also had a small arsenal with him. That guy was much better when he was fat, he just looks creepy now. |
| 2:07
| The tapes were very entertaining and it flew by but Steve doesn't see a theme. Was that Pete's week-in-review that he does a day early? |
| 2:08
| Steve's thinking of doing his week-in-review on Wednesdays just to get a head start. Pete likes to beat the other week-in-reviews to the punch because he likes to be first with everything. |
| 2:09
| There was a large hunk of Lisa Nowak stuff from The Office featuring that Rob Riggle guy, who also played the captain on the booze cruise episode of The Office. That's also the one where we learned Creed was in The Grassroots. |
| 2:10
| Pete bases most of his life around TV so he's very sad right now that most of the shows are in reruns. There's not a lot to watch unless you like American Idol. |
| 2:11
| Steve watched the end of American Idol last night just because he likes to see someone's heart broken. |
| 2:12
| Steve tried to watch Lost again last night and he just can't do it. Steve couldn't believe that one guy blew up the building so they couldn't communicate with the outside world. |
| 2:13
| Steve knew right away that when an old computer wanted to play a game with Locke that it would end badly. |
| 2:14
| There was also a ping-pong match that was supposed to be played but it seemed like they never got to it. If Steve's watching Lost he only cares about Robinson Crusoe stuff and partially nude swimming. |
| 2:15
| According to Matt Dahl they did play ping-pong but only showed one point. That Hurley guy hustled Sawyer but they never showed the match. There are Asians on the island also, why didn't they play? |
| 2:16
| Steve would like to see the islanders run out of food and have to eat someone. Then they could prepare that person with coconut. |
| 2:17
| Matt keeps watching Lost because there's nothing else on. That's the way Steve feels. He does have Borat to watch though. |
| 2:18
| Pete thinks Steve should try to read a book instead of watching Lost. That's gonna happen. |
| 2:19
| Who even knows when Lost is going to end. No one knows anything about anything on TV any more. They put shows on the air, they take them off the air. They can't even get along on the set of Grey's Anatomy. |
| 2:20
| That show with Rob Cordry, The Winner, wasn't that great either. It had a lot of good things going for it but it just wasn't funny. It was also on twice. |
| 2:21
| Steve thinks maybe everyone needs to get a life. Here they are complaining about how bad these shows are but they know everything about them. |
| 2:22
| One of thing that might get Steve to start watching American Idol regularly are the nude photos of one of the contestants. How do they see photos get out? Is it the boyfriend? Because if that was Steve he'd be good with what this girl did for him and wouldn't have any hard feelings. |
| 2:23
| Does Matt get hauled into an office after his show and critiqued? Does a Dan Falato pull out the dry-erase board and go over the breaks with him? |
| 2:24
| Pete did hear that Matt was lucky enough to get the advanced Lollapalooza tickets. Steve's never been to Lollapalooza and he doesn't think he should go. He doesn't want to run into his boys there. |
| 2:25
| Pete is still counting on Steve to be his date to the Arcade Fire. He'll need to get better tickets though, Steve has to be on the aisle at least. Is that why Pete is asking Steve to the show? |
| 2:26
| Pete got shut out of the Lollapalooza tickets so he was hoping Steve would be able to help him out. We don't have great ticket connections here and Steve wouldn't know who to ask anyway. |
| 2:27
| Once again Pete has a list of 21 songs for Steve to choose from. Steve thought he would spare the listeners by not mentioning the list. Steve finally figured out that the reason Pete makes a CD with 21 songs is that he's making mixtapes for himself. If Steve throws the CD out, Pete runs in and pulls it out of the trash. |
| 2:28
| Song: Hate it Here, Wilco |
| 2:32
| If that's from a new Wilco album how did Pete get it? Why isn't Buzz in here also? |
| 2:33
| Buzz feels that he's intruding if he comes in when Pete is doing his segment. It's his show too plus he enjoys a good Wilco song. |
| 2:36
| Did something happen to George Michael while the show was on hiatus? Buzz saw him on the news recently but it was relating to an older case. |
| 2:37
| Steve doesn't really care if there's nude photos of the American Idol girl online People can do whatever they want. |
| 2:38
| Apparently the photo of her with another guy isn't real but if it was, it shouldn't be on the internet. If a girl does that for you, you should take care of her not put it on the internet. |
| 2:39
| Steve doesn't really care about American Idol, even though it's on in his house all the time. It seems like they're favoring the black girls because they missed out on Jennifer Hudson. |
| 2:40
| Pete doesn't really watch American Idol but he does know that it's on three nights a week. On Tuesday the guys sing, then on Wednesday the girls sing then on Thursday someone gets voted off the island. |
| 2:41
| Caller Sue is also an American Idol watcher and you could definitely do without the first show with the guys singing. |
| 2:42
| Sue thinks that Antonella, the girl who's nude photos might be on the internet, will get voted off tonight since she's not that good. |
| 2:43
| Sue's husband hates the show and was really irritated with Randy Jackson because he invented some new phrase. |
| 2:46
| Caller Heather wanted to let Steve know that Randy Jackson's new phrase was "yo factor" |
| 2:47
| Heather thinks American Idol is a good show to watch with the kids. It's not a coincidence that the two people who have called in about American Idol are women. |
| 2:48
| Pete says he doesn't watch American Idol but he seems to know all about it. He does admit to watching Grey's Anatomy though. Mums the word. |
| 2:53
| What happened to the funny tape? For some reason it wouldn't load properly. Did Pete think that Steve would just move on if he didn't talk? |
| 2:54
| Is Steve going to have to take away Pete's mixtape show? It was just a tape of Randy Jackson talking about the yo factor. That guy is an idiot. |
| 2:55
| Steve has one more potato chip to eat. They're the really good salt and pepper kettle chips. Steve has found that if you open a bag and let it sit for 2 weeks they get really good. They get much darker and greasier for some reason. |
| 2:56
| Apparently George Michael will face new charges stemming from an incident in October when he was found slumped over the steering wheel of a car in North London. |
| 2:57
| Steve would like to know more about the guy that George Michael allegedly picked up in a forest. They have one of those kind of forests by Steve and every time he drives by he's worried he'll end up in there. |
| 2:58
| Steve drives by that forest in the daytime and there's stuff going on, which is very bizarre. It's like everyone knows what's happening but doesn't do anything about it. Then sometimes someone gets recognized in the forest. |
| 2:59
| Buzz remembers hearing about that incident involving George Michael and an undercover cop in a bathroom in California. |
| 3:00
| The only other time Buzz had ever heard of that happening before was when George Maherus from Route 66 got busted, also in California. |
| 3:01
| That kind of stuff doesn't just happen in California. Steve has been at a truck stop, using the bathroom and washing his hands when two truckers sidle up on either side of him. Luckily his virginity as stayed intact. |
| 3:02
| There's a truck stop that Steve goes to on his way to New Buffalo and even though it has a separate bathroom for truckers a lot of that stuff spills over into public bathrooms. |
| 3:03
| Steve gets a bad case of stage fright when he's in that bathroom sometimes. He doesn't know where to look or if he should just go into a stall. Then if he goes into a stall does that send the wrong message? |
| 3:04
| Steve doesn't want to forget that Ed Silha is here with the helmet cam. It's hard to forget Ed is here because he's lurking. According to Mary he's referring to the helmet cam as the Cabesa Cam in a very irritating tone. |
| 3:05
| Ed doesn't think he's saying it in an irritating tone. He probably drops the tone when he's talking to Steve, which is good. |
| 3:06
| Ed doesn't have a helmet though, he thought it was be easier to put a strip of velcro on some headphones. What about the people who don't wear headphones? |
| 3:07
| Steve would like to see Buzz wearing the headphones first. It might be entertaining to see what he sees, it'll only be for an hour. |
| 3:08
| The camera only has 40 feet of cable which means Buzz probably won't be able to go down to the news room. That's where all the action happens though. |
| 3:09
| Steve has an article about the George Michael van romp in a London park with a "grubby tubby". This is from a London tabloid so they can say that stuff. |
| 3:10
| At the time George Michael's long-term lover Kenny Goss vowed to stand by him saying "this is all behind us." Is that really the phrase you want to use in this situation? |
| 3:12
| Caller Allison saw George Michael on Oprah about a year ago. When he was in the L.A. bathroom the undercover cop walked in and made a hand gesture that gay guys apparently make when they're in a bathroom. |
| 3:13
| When George Michael made the same hand gesture back to him he was busted. Steve's pretty sure he knows what that hand gesture is, ZIP! |
| 3:14
| Looking at this van driving guy in London makes Steve think that George might want a piece of him. |
| 3:20
| At least for today, the Cabesa Cam only goes to the Green Room but we'll have a 100 foot cable tomorrow that will stretch down to the news room. |
| 3:21
| Steve was thinking of putting the camera on Pete instead just to see what he's doing in there. Pete actually wears headphones so it works fine. For everyone who doesn't Steve will hook it up to a Sox hat. |
| 3:22
| Steve has some more George Michael stuff to read Buzz so while that's going on Ed can hook up the helmet cam. It might be kind of freaky to see what Pete does all day. |
| 3:23
| Pete wears his headphones all the time except apparently when Mary is in there or when he has to go get some water. |
| 3:24
| Even Steve and Buzz doesn't wear their headphones all the time so maybe Ed should just put it on a Steve Dahl Show hat. Ed can grab one from upstairs but he has to pay for it. Since he's an employee he gets a 20% discount. |
| 3:25
| Pete also takes his headphones off when he comes into the main studio, which he does during almost every break. Then he says something to Steve like "you suck" and leaves. It's very demoralizing. |
| 3:26
| People can look forward to watching Pete knocking stacks of tapes over while he's wearing the helmet cam. Even if you figure it conservatively, there are about 10,000 tapes in there. |
| 3:27
| Steve has a more detailed account of George Michael and the van driver. It's from News of the World which is Buzz's preferred London tabloid. They're the tabloid that broke the story about Britney in rehab screaming she was the anti-christ. |
| 3:28
| George Michael was being followed by paparazzi so they must have known they had something good when he went into a parked van. |
| 3:29
| Once Michael spotted the paparazzi he told them he'd sue if the paper printed the photos, even though they're in a public place. |
| 3:30
| Then Michael fled to his car and grabbed his keys from their hiding place on top of the back wheel. He probably didn't want bulky car keys in his pocket when he was in the van. Plus your pants are coming off so you don't want them to fall out then have to bend over and pick them up. |
| 3:31
| The paparazzi followed the van driver, Norman Kirtland, to his home 60 miles away in Brighton, East Sussex. Driving an hour to North London |
| 3:32
| Kirtland answered the door completely nude when the paparazzi arrived at his home. |
| 3:45
| On the phone is Mark Schanowsky from Comcast Sportsnet. They've got about 50 monitors going with different NCAA basketball games. It's not March Madness but it's pretty interesting. |
| 3:46
| Northwestern almost beat Michigan State but they threw the ball away at the last minute. |
| 3:47
| Notre Dame also beat Syracuse in their first game in the Big East tournament. Illinois is playing Penn State and they probably need to beat them and Indiana to make sure they get a bid on Sunday. |
| 3:48
| The Bulls had their worse loss of the season to Miami last night. Scott Skiles definitely seemed stunned by it, especially since Miami has a lot of injuries and older players. |
| 3:49
| The only bad news out of Halas Hall today is the Bears lost Todd Johnson to Miami and Cameron Worrell to Miami. That means two more needs on draft day. |
| 3:50
| In Arizona Kerry Wood gave up a three-run home run but that's not a big deal since he's staying healthy. The real problem is what to do with Mark Prior. It seems like he's going to make the rotation because they can't send him down to the minors. |
| 3:52
| Pete is wearing the Cabesa Cam and it's quite boring. As it turns out all he does is stare at a computer screen. |
| 3:53
| Then Steve walked into the studio and Pete looked at him like he was crazy because apparently he had forgotten he was wearing the camera. |
| 3:54
| Pete is actually just unhappy with the style of hat he's wearing. There are so many other things he should be worried about, but his main concern is a hat that no one can see. |
| 3:55
| Pete is so much weirder than Steve even imagined he was. Maybe Mary should go in the studio and make it more interesting. |
| 3:56
| Now Pete is looking down and Mary is coming into his studio. He's probably making sure his pants are pulled up. |
| 3:57
| Pete is now looking at Mary and she's quite lovely. Does Pete know we're on the air? Does he know Jim is going to type that on the show log and then Mary's husband is going to see it? |
| 3:58
| Steve would like something on there that says who's wearing the Cabesa Cam. He doesn't want people thinking he and Buzz are this boring. |
| 3:59
| It seems like there's a 20 second lag time because Steve is still seeing Mary in Pete's studio. If you're on a Mac the player allows you to actually rewind the feed. |
| 4:00
| Right before Steve talked to Mark Schanowsky he choked on a piece of brown rice. Buzz noticed and thought it was a perfect time to step up and ask Mark a question but then he forgot his last name. |
| 4:01
| Steve is now wearing the Cabesa Cam, even though he doesn't like the style of hat that's it's attached to. |
| 4:02
| It seems like all of these bugs should have been worked out at Ed's apartment, not on the air. This is not how Steve pictured this going. |
| 4:03
| Steve thought this would be much more exciting. Usually when people are wearing helmet cams they're whitewater rafting. This is just a bunch of nerds looking at computer screens. |
| 4:04
| It doesn't seem like the Cabesa Cam was ready to be debuted today. Ed's been here for two hours in a sport coat, a turtleneck and two Obama buttons over each nipple. |
| 4:05
| So far the strangest thing that's happened to Steve is Pete saying the Cabesa Cam was strapped to a style of hat that he doesn't really like. |
| 4:06
| It seems like the camera should be right in the middle of the brim, not to the left side. Ed probably didn't want to obscure the logo. He should cut a whole in the hat and run the cord right through it, that would really bug Pete. |
| 4:07
| It seems like there's still a lot of lag time on the camera, plus it keeps going back to the beginning of Steve putting the camera on. |
| 4:08
| None of this really matters because Steve will probably lose interest in the whole thing in a few minutes. |
| 4:13
| Should Steve keep the Cabesa Cam or should he give it back to Pete? We really just need to get Ed out of here because he's driving Steve nuts. |
| 4:14
| Ed's trying to be helpful, which is great, but Steve is all tangled up in cords and he keeps running in with different computers, talking about T1 lines. |
| 4:15
| As it turns out Pete doesn't do anything all that interesting but neither do Steve or Buzz. Steve's going to read a commercial right now, we'll see what that looks like. |
| 4:16
| Live read: L-Woods |
| 4:17
| Stan Lawrence is some how involved in the L-Woods/McGowan's St. Patrick's day festivities. It also seems like he got Terry excluded from it and Steve is sensing some bitterness. |
| 4:18
| Stan talks about L-Woods like he owns the place. There's also a good chance Terry doesn't care about it. He's been getting free meals all his life but Stan isn't used to it. |
| 4:19
| Song: Tangled Up in Blue, Bob Dylan |
| 4:24
| Steve is still tangled up in cords from the helmet cam. Is that enough for today or should Pete put it on again? |
| 4:25
| Buzz is anxiously awaiting his chance to wear the helmet cam when the cord is longer because he'll take viewers on an adventure. We might need to get a fanny pack for the battery and Buzz looks great in one of those. |
| 4:26
| Steve appreciates Ed coming in and getting this all set up and it seems to be working fine. Steve forgot that the original concept of the camera was that nothing is supposed to happen. |
| 4:27
| Has anyone called in to say how cool the Cabesa Cam is? Brendan says there were a few people but it sounds like he's making that up. |
| 4:28
| Steve was imaging more wireless and he'd pay extra for that. At this point $3,000 doesn't seem that bad. |
| 4:31
| Pete isn't wearing the Cabesa Cam yet. Why don't we just put it away, it's quite a distraction. It needs to be more portable, we can't have Ed flouncing around all day holding cords in one hand and a laptop in the other. |
| 4:32
| Steve feels the $3,000 quote for a wireless camera is very high. That's the kind of thing a computer guy does to wave you away from something he didn't think of. |
| 4:33
| There are perverts all over the world using wireless cameras. Steve wants a pervert cam! |
| 4:34
| Steve would like to say one thing to anyone who's listening though. The less information Steve hears about something, the greater the chance is he's going to like it when it actually happens. |
| 4:35
| Steve has seen hundreds of emails on this subject so nothing could live up to the kind of build-up that given to this webcam. That might be why Ed has a problem with the ladies too. There's too much build-up so once the pants come down the girl is going to be disappointed. |
| 4:36
| It seems like we're going to have to get different headgear for different people. It seems like Pete's life revolves around his hats, which might be why he's having problems with the ladies. |
| 4:37
| Buzz and Pete both share the same stylistic disposition when it comes to hats. They like a high front crown, but not too high. |
| 4:38
| We could probably strap it to a nice Cubs batting helmet for Pete. We have to go wireless though, Steve can't deal with the cords. |
| 4:39
| Sometimes Steve gets too nerdy with this stuff. Radioshack Steve isn't very interesting on the air, he likes to save it for Sunday mornings when he goes to Radioshack. |
| 4:40
| What's going on with Ed and that woman from channel 2, did he go out with her? |
| 4:41
| Ed has not gone out with Susan Carlson. It turned into a nightmare when Stan and Terry had Ed on the air to talk to her. |
| 4:42
| Ed did call her off the air and got a message from her that she wasn't interested in being fixed up with someone on the air. |
| 4:46
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:47
| President Bush is headed to Brazil today for his 5-day South American tour. Is he on Spring Break? |
| 4:48
| A tentative meeting is scheduling between U.S. representatives and Iranian officials for this weekend. The U.S. hasn't had relations with Iran for 25 years and President Bush labeled them as part of the axis of evil. That's going to make things really frosty, at least at the beginning. |
| 4:49
| There's really no solution for Iraq because those people are out of their minds. As it turns out Saddam Hussein was a genius. |
| 4:51
| Blues Traveler lead singer John Popper was in a car that was pulled over in Washington state going 100 miles per hour. |
| 4:52
| Inside the car officers found marijuana and a cache of weapons. The car was also equipped with a sirens and a public address system. It sounds like the Bluesmobile. |
| 4:53
| What is it with the pot and the weapons? Is it because it makes you paranoid? The one time Steve accidentally had some pot when he was at a resort in Jamaica he hid in the bath tub with a blanket over him because he was scared of the gardener. |
| 4:54
| Every morning the gardener would start hacking away at the bushes in front of his room with a machete. Steve thought the guy was coming for him but he wasn't very hidden in the bath tub. |
| 5:01
| We've got Chef Hans coming in for Meat Talk 2007 but right now Steve could use a pick-me-up. For some reason the donuts aren't in the studio yet. |
| 5:02
| Buzz actually smelled the donuts in the hallway because his sense are highly attuned to them. |
| 5:03
| Steve's got some good questions coming up for Meat Talk, plus he might have found a wireless camera for the Cabesa Cam. There's no price listed so Steve sent an email to them. |
| 5:04
| It's probably expensive if you have to ask for a price but you can hook it onto a pair of eyeglasses. That's perfect! |
| 5:05
| The camera is only $1995 for one unit, which is half of what Ed said. Steve's willing to make that investment for the show and also because he might want to become a pornographer. He has a lot of good ideas and he should be using them for something. Hans knows how much money there is in porn, that's how he got his start. They called him the Swiss Cheese. |
| 5:06
| Plus when you're working with porn people they say yes to everything. That's what a porn person is, someone who does whatever you ask them to. |
| 5:11
| Chef Hans is here and he's giving everyone chocolate. It's good but it makes it hard to talk. Hans thinks it makes people sexy. |
| 5:12
| Hans says the chocolate comes from the cows in the Swiss hills and it's really milky. Are we talking about chocolate or a porn? |
| 5:13
| Things are going really well at S & W. The Big Ten Tournament is in town and the hardware convention is also coming this weekend. |
| 5:14
| Hans also wanted to say hello to a few people who are fans of the show and had the chefs table at S & W this week. One of them was a 6-year old girl listener who has a picture of Steve. Why didn't Hans mention the girl before we started talking about porn? |
| 5:15
| Hans is still taking Steve to the Escoffier dinner but first he's going to Taipei for 2 weeks with Smith & Wollensky. |
| 5:16
| OK, on to the Meat Talk questions. Steve might through the first one out because he doesn't understand it. |
| 5:17
| The emailer wants to know why all prime beef isn't created equal. All prime is created equal though, it's the top 2% of all meat. |
| 5:18
| The next question is about finish cooking a filet in the oven. A lot of banquet places sear the steaks on a grill and then finish them in an oven but Smith & Wollensky doesn't. |
| 5:20
| The next emailer wants to know how to make a good batch of corned beef for the South Side Irish parade. He also wants to know how the history of corned beef. |
| 5:21
| Hans only knows that a bunch of guys got together and wanted to eat pickled brisket. It's not popular in Ireland though, just the U.S. |
| 5:22
| Steve knows that the corn part of corned beef is peppercorn in the pickling brine, along with some bay leaves. |
| 5:23
| Steve has been to Ireland for St. Patrick's day and they don't eat corned beef. There seem to be a lot of stories about why corned beef is popular here but the best one Steve came out of New York. |
| 5:24
| The Jewish immigrants were already established in the U.S. when the Irish got here. Brisket is a popular cut of meat in a Jewish deli and some guy turned Irish people on to it because it's a cheap cut of meat that you can make taste good with pickling. |
| 5:25
| The Irish already knew about boiling a lesser cut of meat to make it taste better. |
| 5:26
| Hans has heard from different people that corned beef either comes from Chicago or New York, depending on who you're talking to. |
| 5:27
| Steve's not totally confident in the corned beef story, it could be apocryphal. |
| 5:28
| Steve would like to send Steve Dahl Show scholar Mark Czerniec on a quest to find out where corned beef came from. We don't need it by today though. |
| 5:34
| Steve actually did find something last St. Patrick's about corned beef that satisfied his curiosity. |
| 5:35
| Irish immigrants in the 1880s in New York learned about corned beef as a cheaper substitute to Irish bacon from their Jewish neighbors. |

| 5:38
| If anyone cares, Steve wouldn't mind having his limo ride later in the week like a Thursday or a Friday. It's something to look forward to. |
| 5:39
| Steve found driving in today to be a real chore. Two semi trucks had hit each other and were just stopped in the center lane. It didn't seem like anyone was out there trying to fix the problem and WBBM-AM kept saying the inbound Stevenson was fine. |
| 5:45
| One more thing to correct from Meat Talk. The name corned beef comes from the course salt used in the pickling process. |
| 5:46
| Steve still doesn't get how angus slips in between prime and choice and he can't get Hans to fully explain it to him. |
| 5:47
| Hans did say he's going to bring corned beef and cabbage in next week, although Buzz prefers a sandwich. He can probably have someone get him rye bread and he can make his own sandwich. |
| 5:48
| Steve's going to take a stab at doing some sports and Pete will be playing the audio from his studio. |
| 5:49
| Is Steve the only one who smells cigarette smoke? Last night when Steve went up to his office on the 11th floor someone was locked in the WBBM-AM on-air staff bathroom, smoking. |
| 5:50
| Steve really wanted to bust the door down or wait for the person to come out. Then he couldn't remember how long it took to smoke a cigarette. If they're hiding in the bathroom doing it they're probably smoking really fast. |
| 5:51
| Caller Danny wanted to let Steve know that angus is a breed of cattle, not a grade. You can have prime or choice angus though. |
| 5:52
| Now all the disinformation from Meat Talk has been fixed. Steve's going to give Danny the S & W dinner since none of the Meat Talk questions really merited it. |
| 5:53
| What a polite young man Danny was. Steve likes to see that in the youth of America. |
| 5:54
| Steve accidentally started the Ben Gay sports music. Ben Gay is here if we need him. He might as well whip it out while he's here. |
| 5:55
| Ben wants to get a drink with Buzz after the show, but Buzz has family obligations. He has to go home and put the little one to bed and then he's taking the wife to dinner. Does he need a babysitter? He can always call uncle Ben. |
| 5:56
| Buzz is taking the wife for a little Mexican. Ben had a little Mexican this afternoon, he was wonderful. |

| The Bulls take on the Orlando Magic tonight. They have lost the previous two games against them. |
| 5:58
| The Cubs beat San Diego today. Pitcher Wade Miller gave up 1 run and Kerry Wood gave up a three-run home run in relief. |
| 5:59
| Running back Willis McGahee was traded to Baltimore for drafts pick today. McGahee went to The U, which is Buzz's alma mater. |
| 6:00
| There are rumors that the NBA might institute a no-flopping rule which would give referees the right to give players a technical foul for trying to get a charging foul. |
| 6:01
| Representatives for Peyton Manning are denying reports that the QB is making money this off-season by attending Sweet 16 parties. |
| 6:02
| Weeks after it was reported that Bridget Moynahan had become pregnant by ex-boyfriend Tom Brady a Brazilian paper is reporting the QB impregnated his new girlfriend, super model Giselle Bundchen. |
| 6:03
| It always amazes Ben that the football players don't use protection. That's 40% of his income for the next 18 years to those kids. |
| 6:08
| Steve forgot to talk about that guy he found on MySpace that hates him. Buzz of course read Steve's blog today which mentioned the guy. |
| 6:09
| Steve will read part of his blog again just to refresh Buzz. Steve put a link to the guy's MySpace page which he titled Hairy Guy Who Wants to Spit in Steve Dahl's Face. |
| 6:10
| Whenever you can be 31 and quote a Led Zeppelin song as your touchstone phrase you've really got something. |
| 6:11
| Sir Lord Brian would like to meet Steve so he can spit in his fat, vacant face. He also says the entire city should be eradicated for allowing Steve to spew his tedious, banal, idiocy. |
| 6:12
| This guy has a Wisconsin feel to Buzz. Is he from Wisconsin? |
| 6:13
| Sir Lord Brian uses words like maw to show that he's literate. |
| 6:14
| His general interests include Sleaze, Dungeons & Dragons, buying records on eBay, Medieval South Asian kingship and and the tripartite structure of Indo-European societies, all cool stuff. |
| 6:15
| His musical interests include Grateful Dead, Whorebutcher, Daevid Allen and Fleetwood Mac. When Buzz thinks Fleetwood Mac he also thinks Whorebutcher. Lord Brian also likes Gerry Rafferty. You want to chase your Whorebutcher with some Baker Street. |
| 6:16
| This guy might be weirder than Buzz, at least with his movie choices. He's so eclectic. |
| 6:17
| Sir Lord is in a relationship, that is one unlucky girl. He lists his body type as body builder, but Steve has seen pictures of this guy and he disagrees. |
| 6:18
| Sir Lord is also a Catholic. Steve caught a lot of Christianity in that little blurb about him. |
| 6:19
| This guy is also a college instructor. Steve needs to find out where he teaches to make sure no one ever goes there. How can someone this crazy be a college teacher? |
| 6:20
| The thing that really scared Steve in all this is that this guy is a college professor. If something irritated him this much he wouldn't have contact with it. |
| 6:25
| Caller Chris knows why Sir Lord Brian hates Steve. If you go to his blog there's a link to a forum about the Dahl.com forum shutdown. |
| 6:26
| This is exactly why Steve closed the Dahl.com forum, because there are psychos like this guy on there. |
| 6:27
| So far Sir Lord Brian's unofficial unmoderated Steve Dahl Forum is not very successful but you have to start somewhere. |
| 6:28
| You can see why Steve banned this guy from his forum if he wants to spit in his face. |
| 6:29
| The second post on the forum is from someone named Dahlfan, who used to post on the Dahl.com forum. He wants to know if WCKG is really going Spanish. Who could possibly answer that? |
| 6:30
| The question is answered by WestSideBob, who was also a Dahl.com forum poster. Steve can't remember if he banned him or if he was just hanging by a thread, no pun intended. |
| 6:31
| The worst thing that could happen to Steve in a format change is that he and Buzz would get paid to not work for 4 years. That's not even close to happening though. |
| 6:32
| The final poster thinks the forum was shut down because the moderators got tired of censoring posts about Wendy being fired. All the Wendy stuff was in the paper though. Plus Steve has answered every email about it. |
| 6:33
| Steve likes Wendy so why would he get on the air and talk about it? |
| 6:34
| The reason he shut down the forum is because there are a lot of really crazy people on the internet. |
| 6:35
| After a week of doing show shows in Miami and writing articles for the Trib about the Super Bowl there wasn't a single post about it in the forum, which is when Steve decided to shut down the forum. |
| 6:36
| All of the posts on the forum were about the knuckleheads who posted there so Steve figured they could go start their own forum. They did and it's going very well. |
| 6:39
| It's funny that Sir Lord Brian is a forum poster. Those people were crazy and they got on their high horses about everything. Plus there wasn't anything on the forum about Steve. |
| 6:40
| They have message boards for disgruntled Chicago radio people. Everyone on there has conspiracy theories about what's going on in Chicago radio. There are no conspiracies though. |
| 6:41
| Steve's ratings aren't bad. The station still makes a ton of money off this show. Plus if it took this guy 3 months to notice that Wendy was gone, he's answered his own question. |
| 6:42
| News with Buzz |
| 6:43
| President Bush is in Brazil to start his 5-day Spring Break tour of South America. It's too bad he's not doing blow any more because that's a perfect place to score some, especially if you're the president. |
| 6:44
| House Democrats have announced a resolution calling for the withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq by the 2008 general elections. Bush is going to veto that one though. |
| 6:45
| According to Mark Czerniec, who's usually right, the resolution to withdraw troops is a provision of the Iraq war funding bill so if Bush vetoes it he vetoes the funding. |
| 6:46
| How can the U.S. win a war when the Walter Red hospital looks the way it does? |
| 6:48
| A new law moving through the Illinois House of Representatives would ban smoking in cars when children are present. Don't we have more important things to worry about? |
| 6:49
| Buzz has heard that people are starting to refer to Illinois as the Nanny State. |
