| Matt and Brendan are finishing up their grueling one-hour show. It's actually harder to do a one-hour show because you can't ever really get going. Not that Matt and Brendan don't have anything going on. |
| 2:03
| One a good day Steve shows up at 2:00 and the next thing he knows it's 6:30. Steve was at the gym so he missed the boys talking about their dinner at Gibson's. |
| 2:04
| While Matt and Brendan were waiting in the bar they hear "Steve Dahl, party of 2" over the PA and people started looking around which was pretty cool. The bill ended up only being $108 plus tip so the gift certificate covered most of it. |
| 2:05
| What was on the menu? If they went over this they don't have to do it again. Matt had a Kansas City cut steak and Brendan had a and some au gratin potatoes. Isn't that the kind of potato that girls order? |
| 2:06
| After dinner the boys went back to the bar and were trying to talk to these two girls. Then their dad came over in his St. Louis Rams letterman jacket and told them they couldn't talk to them until they pulled their paychecks out. There were also a couple of mothers and another dude in the group and it seemed like the moms were digging them too. |
| 2:07
| Steve wishes he would have been there for that. He would have whipped out his paycheck then started talking to the dude's wife while Matt and Brendan talked to the daughters. Who rolls up to Gibson's in a Rams jacket? |
| 2:08
| Matt and Brendan had a belly full of steak so they weren't in the mood to start a fight. Matt sort of regrets not taking the low-road though. That's why Steve always takes the low-road, no regrets. |
| 2:09
| Matt and Brendan are on tomorrow at 6:00 AM and then they're back on Monday at 1:00. |
| 2:13
| Song: Daylight, Drive-By Truckers |
| 2:17
| Steve just had his shirt ruined by some chili. He was eating it from a plastic carton that has little ribs in it and as he was scrapping his fork against them the chili splattered. |
| 2:18
| Luckily Steve is just wearing a basic blue polo shirt so it's not a big deal. He's getting a Shout wipe on it, although he may have to go shirtless like Matthew McConaughey |
| 2:19
| One minute Steve was talking to Matt and Brendan and the next minute his shirt was covered in chili. Mary thought he'd been shot by Matt in an attempt to get the afternoon slot. That sort of stuff happens so you have to watch out. |
| 2:20
| Steve would like to say he won't fixate on his stained shirt but he knows he will. He doesn't have a chance of clothes here either. |
| 2:26
| Steve has his shirt off and during the break he was looking out the studio window at Matt and Brendan. He felt like Sylar on Heroes in the cell. |
| 2:27
| Mary said she wanted to take a picture of Steve with no shirt on for the website but then she thought it could be considered porn. He's not sure what that meant but he's taking it as a compliment. |
| 2:28
| Luckily Steve has a stash of shirts in his office. He is now wearing a nice silk shirt made by Axis that he got from Rochester Big & Tall. WIth places like that you never know if that's a real brand or just something they put on the shirt because they can't put Tubby. |
| 2:29
| Steve thinks he got the stain out of his shirt with the Shout wipe, although the last time he did laundry, as a kid, you couldn't get tomato stains out of fabric. |
| 2:30
| Steve only did laundry because he wanted his baseball uniform to be clean and ironed. Steve doesn't like to iron because it never seems like you're done. When Steve does something he wants it to end with a clear-cut victory for him. |
| 2:31
| Caller Julie wanted to let Steve know that Axis is a line of golf shirts. He did have the desire to go golfing all of the sudden. The weather is warm and as Buzz knows Steve keeps his clubs and golf spikes in his car. |
| 2:32
| Steve doesn't have that stuff in his car, he doesn't even have baseball stuff in his car. No one wants to play baseball with Steve because he's a poor sport. |
| 2:33
| The last time Steve played softball was with the Dahldoes and he threw a bat at a guy who was also a listener. The last time they played was against the White Sox front office guys, who have their own reason to be hot dogs. They were also playing on the girl's softball field so there were a lot of home runs. |
| 2:34
| Pat Dahl might have been pitching and Steve was behind the plate, where he had complete access to everyone. Some guy hit a grand slam off Pat, then did a little pirouette thing. |
| 2:35
| When the guy touched home plate Steve threw a bat at him, but did it in a way that it looked like he was just trying to clear off the plate so the guy wouldn't trip. You can never admit to throwing a bat at someone. |
| 2:36
| The White Sox guys were already killing the Dahldoes because most of them had played baseball in college. |
| 2:37
| During one Dahldoes game, Pete broke Joy Masada's husband's leg. Pete was playing third, Duke was playing in the outfield and they both went for the same foul ball. As you can imagine Pete isn't very communicative so they slammed right into each other. |
| 2:38
| Pete is a good, competitive softball player. Steve forgot about that yesterday when he was making fun of him for being particular about the cap he was wearing for the Cabesa Cam. |
| 2:39
| Every Spring Steve says he wants to play softball but it never happens. He wanted David from the Little Guys to take over but as it turns out he's not very organized. |
| 2:40
| The game where Pete accidentally broke Duke Masada's leg was against the alderman. Later they had to present a trophy to them at City Hall. Steve's Burt Natarus impersonation killed but his mic went out so it didn't end up on the tape. |
| 2:41
| Pete thinks we could get 3 or 4 practices in per week with the Dahldoes and then be ready to go. Steve wants to get the team back together but it gets really complicated because a lot of offers come in from other teams. |
| 2:42
| Steve thinks the Dahldoes should be like the Bingo Long All-Stars and travel around the area. We should just agree to do 8 games and fill in the schedule. |
| 2:43
| The other problem is that the games can only be after the show. Plus Steve has Sox tickets this year. |
| 2:44
| Steve's going to put the WCKG marketing and promotions department on this. If they can figure out a way to make money on the games they'll be all over it. |
| 2:45
| There isn't anything on at night that couldn't be pre-empted by a Dahldoes game. Pete McMurray and Stony used to broadcast the games. |
| 2:46
| Pete talks about how soft he is but he didn't seem too soft when he broke Duke's leg clean in half. |
| 2:51
| Steve did a whole Burt Natarus thing at City Hall and the mayor loved it but the sound guy cut him off. Now Steve will have to start working on his Brendan Reilly. |
| 2:52
| That Brendan Reilly beat the pants of Burt Natarus but he couldn't even be gracious about it. |
| 2:53
| Steve asked Mary during the break why they don't play softball then she reminded him that last year we were going to play until he decided he wanted to be paid. Steve's not going to do that this year though. |
| 2:54
| Steve gets the impression that the guy who puts together this one charity softball game is an event coordinator who gets paid. Steve doesn't care about getting paid unless someone else is being paid. |
| 2:55
| Steve just go the feeling that someone was making money because they were charging admission to watch the game. It's not like Steve would have made a lot of money either, he just gets like that. |
| 2:56
| Steve has a story about his trainer Cornell and Au Bon Pain. Cornell has been really overcompensating in the last few weeks because he's coming off hernia surgery. |
| 2:57
| Steve doesn't really like to talk too much during his workout. He'll chit-chat but he'd really just like someone to count his reps for him and tell him when to stop. He views it like he's in prison. |
| 2:58
| Today Cornell was telling Steve about how he goes to Au Bon Pain for lunch and gets checked out by all the women who work there because he's so pumped-up. Then the manager gets jealous and won't let the women serve him. Steve doesn't need to know all this. |
| 2:59
| Steve did go over to Au Bon Pain today to see if anyone would check him out but they didn't. He should have told Cornell that next time he has the Au Bon Pain manager's attention he should tell him to put more noodles and chicken in the soup at the end of the day. |
| 3:00
| Steve likes Cornell but he's on the verge of asking if he can listen to his iPod during the workout. Steve worked out a few times when Cornell had his surgery and he definitely prefers having someone there but he just needs to cut down on the chit-chat. |
| 3:01
| Maybe Steve could sell the iPod to Cornell as a way for him to block out the grunting and groaning. |
| 3:02
| Steve says he'd go to the forest preserve but he doesn't like all the sounds that would go with it. He needs to go to the deaf-mute forest preserve. |
| 3:06
| Steve doesn't wear his glasses at the gym so he doesn't see anyone but apparently he gets seen by other people. Some sales guy from US 99 came up to him today and asked him about his workout. |
| 3:07
| Steve doesn't really look around while he's working out either, but occasionally a dude gets a little too close to him. One guy came up while Steve was right next to the weight rack and said "excuse me" while he grabbed a weight off the bottom. |
| 3:08
| The guy could have easily grabbed the same weight from the other side on the top of the rack but he might have seen Steve's booty and wanted to get close to it. After all that George Michael/forest preserve stuff yesterday the word could be out about Steve. |
| 3:09
| Song: Don't Stand So Close to Me, The Police |
| 3:13
| Steve likes The Police, but he doesn't care about their reunion. Buzz has several Police albums but he won't be going to see them when they come through. |
| 3:14
| Pete just said something very loud and unintelligible into Steve's headphones. Can we take two on that or maybe he could say it on the air? |
| 3:15
| The big rumor for The Police reunion stop in Chicago is Wrigley Field. Is that big enough? Pete doesn't think that matters because they're not getting back together for the money. The same thing with Genesis. |
| 3:16
| Just for the record, the reason Steve backed out of the softball thing last year is because he found out they were charging money for people to watch the games and not just accepting donations. |
| 3:17
| It seems like the Cubs shouldn't be messing around with letting The Police play at Wrigley Field. At least Jimmy Buffett is a Cubs fan and he used to play bars on Lincoln Avenue so it's been a lifelong dream of his. |
| 3:18
| The Police aren't even from around here. Sting is definitely British, although one of the other guys might be American. |
| 3:19
| Police drummer Stewart Copeland was born in Virginia. Steve's got a lot of information on Stewart Copeland. |
| 3:20
| Buzz doesn't think we should be letting foreigners take over Wrigley Field for a concert. |
| 3:21
| Caller Amanda lives in Wrigleyville and they've been hearing about a concert at Wrigley in early July. Originally Dave Matthews Band was supposed to play the weekend after Fourth of July but they canceled because Dave's wife is having a baby. That seems like a reason to not cancel the show. |
| 3:22
| Even though Stewart Copeland is from Virginia, Buzz still doesn't think they should be having concerts at Wrigley Field. He's a purist. |
| 3:23
| The Police concert was announced February 7th but at that time Steve was in the midst of a complete post-Super Bowl meltdown so he wasn't getting a lot of new information. |
| 3:24
| If Steve were a Cubs fan he wouldn't want those knuckleheads trouncing around the field. |
| 3:25
| Jimmy Buffett didn't ruin the field when he played there as far as Steve can tell. |
| 3:31
| Jimmy Buffett and Dave Matthews Band seem right in the Cubs fan wheelhouse, but so do The Police. |
| 3:32
| People were so excited about The Police at the Grammy's but it seemed like a fake excitement, which is what Cubs fans are all about. |
| 3:33
| The Police are still just basically Sting. It's the same as him being with 8 black guys playing jazz. What's the difference? |
| 3:34
| We've got Journey and Jim Peterik penciled in for U.S. Cellular this summer, Steve is really excited about that. |
| 3:35
| They don't really have concerts at U.S. Cellular. Sometimes they'll have an Elvis impersonator on Elvis Night but that's not too invasive. |
| 3:36
| When Steve says that Dave Matthews Band is right in the Cubs fan wheelhouse, he means the Johnny-come-lately Cubs fan who only became a Cubs fan when he moved to Wrigleyville. |
| 3:37
| Steve really just doesn't get what the big deal is about a Police reunion. He doesn't care about that stuff or the Rolling Stones. |
| 3:38
| Caller Tim saw the Rolling Stones at The Cell a few years ago. He's not sure if they've had a concert there since then though. |
| 3:39
| Caller Larry was at the Auto Show back in the early 90s and they were handing out Sting tickets for a show he was doing at the Arie Crown Theater. |
| 3:40
| Larry and his friend decided to go see the show but there were only about 100 people in there and it was really bad. |
| 3:41
| Pete has reverted to talking over the intercom instead of talking on the air. It's really hard to concentrate when that's going on and then he's talking to Larry who's a loose cannon. |
| 3:42
| Caller Timothy is tired of hearing about The Police reunion because Genesis is way better. Steve doesn't care about them either, what's wrong with him? |
| 3:43
| Timothy thought Steve was all about the music. Where did he get that idea from? Steve's all about himself. |
| 3:44
| As Steve gets older the biggest problem he has about going to concerts are the people around him. There's always some irritating jerk who takes the fun out of it. |
| 3:45
| If Steve were going to play a Genesis song, which one would Timothy like to hear? |
| 3:46
| Timothy wouldn't mind hearing Duchess off of the Duke album. There was no hesitation with him. Is Duchess some weird thing with him and his wife? |
| 3:47
| Steve is looking forward to seeing Arcade Fire with Pete. Do they go to dinner after the show maybe? |
| 3:48
| Pete is thinking a dinner after the show and then stopping by the ABC studios on State Street and looking in the window. |
| 3:49
| There's a guy who tries to be on the street during the news in a different silk shirt. Lately they seem to be framing him out though. |
| 3:50
| Why does ABC think that viewers need to see people standing on the street looking into the studio? They all have clueless looks on their face just staring into the window. |
| 3:51
| Steve and Pete are going to the show with Jim and his girlfriend so maybe they could all stand outside of ABC studios with their shirts off with W-Ck-K-G painted on their chests. Will Jim's girlfriend be up for that? He is dating a black girl and they tend to be a little wilder. |
| 3:56
| Steve's going to order a Blu-Ray DVD of American Psycho this weekend. He has the Blu-Ray player but he can't tell the difference unless you switch back and forth. |
| 3:57
| Steve doesn't like slasher movies but he loves American Psycho. It's so much more than a slasher movie to Buzz |
| 3:58
| As it turns out Christian Bale is one of the great actors of his generation. That Batman Begins blew Steve's mind. He hasn't like a Batman movie for a while before that one. |
| 3:59
| Song: Follow You, Follow Me, Genesis |
| 4:02
| That's a good song but Steve likes the Peter Gabriel Genesis better than the Phil Collins Genesis. Buzz doesn't think Peter Gabriel is as cute as Phil Collins, plus he doesn't play drums. |
| 4:03
| Ben Gay did offer his babysitting services yesterday if Buzz wants to take the wife to see Genesis and shout "you're a cutie" from the audience. Everyone will think it's Eric Clapton yelling at him, they'll be invited on stage to jam. |
| 4:08
| On the phone is Mark Schanowsky from Comcast Sportsnet. Buzz should know that just in case Steve starts choking on something again. |
| 4:09
| Yesterday right before Mark came on Steve started choking on a piece of rice and Buzz didn't know who we were talking to so he couldn't step up. Mark just thought he was a bad interview. |
| 4:10
| The Cubs are on Comcast right now and they're beating the Padres. They haven't lost a game since he gave the team that talk last week. |
| 4:11
| If that's all it took for the Cubs to go on a winning streak they should have hired him 20 years ago. |
| 4:12
| A lot of people thought Lou was mailing it in for three years in Tampa Bay but he didn't have the kind of players he needed. Every time the Sox went down there though Lou seemed to have a pretty good game plan. |
| 4:13
| The Sox aren't doing that well right now but it's still really early in Spring Training. Ed Farmer said not to start worrying until 10 days before opening day. |
| 4:14
| Steve read the stuff about Aaron Rowand in the paper this morning. Brian Anderson must have read it too because he had a pretty good game today. |
| 4:15
| Good news from Halas Hall, the Bears haven't lost any players today and there's no other controversy. Tank Johnson still has another court date coming up though. |
| 4:16
| Jerry Angelo is going to have a busy draft day because he needs a back-up safety and a back-up running back plus some offensive line guys. |
| 4:17
| Jerry Angelo does seem to be a pretty good drafter. Everyday draft day he picks up a bunch of guys that no one knows and a lot of them turn out to be great players. |
| 4:18
| Tonight Derrek Lee will be on Comcast talking about his daughter, who lost vision in one of her eyes at the end of last season. He'll also be talking about rebounding from his wrist injury. |
| 4:19
| Gale Fischer is interviewing Derrek Lee because she spent some time with the Cubs at Spring Training. |
| 4:20
| When Steve was out in Arizona he drove by the Cubs Spring Training facility and saw Gale Fischer talking to Ronnie Woo Woo. Steve felt really bad for her because it didn't seem like she could break herself away. |
| 4:26
| Say what you will about the Cubs but there are some hot looking Cubs fans on TV right now watching the Spring Training game. |
| 4:27
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:28
| President Bush is on the second day of his 5-day South American tour. He's already inked a bio-fuels deal with Brazil. |
| 4:29
| It's not all good news as Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez has embarked on his own South American tour to bad mouth President Bush. That Chavez guy is a loose cannon but he's sitting on a lot of oil. It seems like it would be much easier to take him out and throw a Castro in while you're at it. |
| 4:30
| As it turns out the FBI has used a provision of the Patriot Act to collect information on American citizens. Didn't they promise not to do that? |
| 4:31
| There was a shooting in Pompano Beach today and when Steve first saw it on the news he thought it was at the shopping center where he got washed last year. |
| 4:32
| Steve didn't get washed when he was down in Florida this year because he was too busy with the Super Bowl. |
| 4:33
| Newt Gingrich has admitted to having an affair while he was trying to get Bill Clinton impeached for lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. |
| 4:34
| A decision to fire a popular Chicago high school principal has been reversed after Mayor Daley went nuclear. |
| 4:35
| Courtney Love is being accused of running out on her rehab bills. She left California's Beaumont Retreat sober, but didn't pay her bills. Rehab is expensive, you really need to have good insurance to do it. |
| 4:36
| Buzz didn't know rehab was covered by insurance. You probably have to prove that it's actually a medical condition. |
| 4:42
| Caller Ryan has some rehab info. Most insurance companies cover rehab for the first time you go but that's it. |
| 4:43
| What if you go to rehab once for drugs and once for sex addiction? Will your insurance cover both of them? |
| 4:44
| Sex rehab seems like a great place to meet women. |
| 4:45
| Ryan was in rehab two summers ago for 4 weeks and it worked great for him. The rehab place is in Schaumburg. Did they go to Applebee's on the weekends? |
| 4:46
| Steve's wondering what Ryan's rules are when he wants to leave a party. Steve leaves a party as soon as he's heard the same story twice from the same person. |
| 4:47
| Sometimes he'll stay for a third time if he's at a neighbor's house but after that he's gone. |
| 4:48
| Steve never went to rehab but he doesn't think he would have been able to do al the homework. |
| 4:49
| One advantage Steve had is that he was able to come to work everyday and talk about things on the air. |
| 4:51
| Song: Beautiful Wreck, Shawn Mullins |
| 4:56
| Shawn Mullins played that song when he was in studio last year. It was engineered by our own Pete Zimmerman. |
| 4:57
| How did we go back to Pete talking on the intercom instead of on the air? Is it because of the daylight savings switch? |
| 5:03
| On the phone is the voice of the Chicago Rush, Tom Dore. He's at the Allstate Arena right now for the Rush home opener. They'll be raising the championship banner tonight also. |
| 5:04
| The Rush are 0-1 on the season. Steve thought they'd already played two games. |
| 5:05
| Does Coach really own part of the Rush or does he just get paid to say he does? |
| 5:06
| Coach is pretty involved with the team. He comes to quite a few road games and is probably at 2/3rds of the games throughout a season. |
| 5:07
| Yesterday Steve was talking to Mark Schanowsky about Bobby Sippio who's a wide receiver with the Rush. Why haven't any NFL teams taken a look at him? |
| 5:08
| The Rush should sell out the game tonight or come pretty close. The Allstate holds about 18,500 so that's a pretty good crowd. |
| 5:07
| The Rush did pretty well last year and season ticket numbers are up from last season. |
| 5:08
| Steve hasn't talked to Big Cat on the air yet but Tom would like to make that happen. Big Cat doesn't really like to talk to a lot of people though, he's a quite guy. |
| 5:09
| Tom has been trying to tell Big Cat that when fans come up to him and say hello they're not really interested in having a long conversation with him, they're just being polite |
| 5:10
| Steve saw Big Cat at a Bears game last year and introduced himself but he seemed very disinterested. Luckily Steve wasn't that interested in talking to Big Cat either. |
| 5:11
| It seems like Tom breaks bad on Big Cat the way Neil Funk breaks bad on Bill Wennington. Maybe they should become broadcasting swingers and switch partners or something. |
| 5:12
| Ed Farmer breaks bad on Chris Singleton quite a bit. Steve and Buzz don't break bad on each other though, but that's because they spend a lot more time together on the air. |
| 5:13
| Traveling with someone probably doesn't help either. |
| 5:19
| Steve's having his pick-me-up right now. Buzz saw that Rachel Ray has been brought into the Dunkin' Donuts family as a spokeswoman. What about Steve? |
| 5:20
| As Buzz read the article he was wondering why it was about Rachel Ray and not Steve Dahl. Steve's never seen her eat a donut, although it looks like she's had a few. |
| 5:21
| Steve likes the way Dunkin' Donuts is doing it now with the jingles and the John Goodman voiceovers, plus isn't Rachel Ray sort of a failure? |
| 5:22
| Ray is one of Oprah's chosen few and her daytime show debuted to the highest ratings since Dr. Phil's show. What's going on with her now though? |
| 5:23
| Steve doesn't really care what they do as long as he doesn't lose his pick-me-up. One day he's like to be Dunkin' Donuts national spokesman though. |
| 5:24
| Steve doesn't like to hear the broadcast partners break bad on each other, but it seems like it happens a lot. Even Thayer and Joniak do it. Is Buzz breaking bad on Steve behind his back? |
| 5:25
| It seems to Buzz like the sports broadcasters have an obligation to break bad on each other just to maintain the bit. |
| 5:26
| Personally Steve thinks that the play-by-play guys get jealous of the color guys because they used to be athletes and more people notice them. Plus the play-by-play guys do more work. If Steve were a Neil Funk he'd get pretty fed up with everyone noticing Bill Wennington. |
| 5:27
| The only color guy that rips on the play-by-play guy is Tom Thayer but him and Joniak are more like Master and Blaster from Mad Max. |
| 5:28
| Earlier Steve was talking about Pete engineering Shawn Mullins appearance on the show, but Pete took a while to respond because his headphones weren't on. Pete needs to pick a story with the headphones because yesterday when he was wearing the Cabesa Cam he said he never took them off. |
| 5:29
| Shawn Mullins brought some big dude to engineer and Pete felt weird about trying to move him so he just engineered around him. Steve wanted to play some of Pete's fine work. He probably should have just played the live version in the first place. |
| 5:30
| Steve remembers it being sort of weird right when Shawn got here and he couldn't figure out why. Then Steve learned that in Shawn's notes about Steve from the PR person they'd mentioned that he was similar to Mancow. What kind of PR person gives notes like that? |
| 5:31
| It's pretty insulting to be compared to Mancow. Apparently Shawn Mullins was on with him once and had a bad experience. |
| 5:37
| Two Atlanta men who attempted suicide by cutting their arms off with a circular saws have survived. They only managed to cut off three arms. Buzz has to confess that this story hasn't crossed his desk yet. |
| 5:38
| The men left a suicide note for the manager of their apartment building saying they were killing themselves because their business had failed and they'd recently found out they were HIV positive. |
| 5:39
| There are other options other than suicide. There are lots of medications for HIV and you can call Peter Francis Geraci and declare bankruptcy. |
| 5:40
| After the manager found the note he called the police who found the two men covered in blood in their apartment. That's sort of unfair to everyone else since they have HIV. |
| 5:41
| Hopefully their business wasn't construction because they couldn't even chop 4 arms off. Of course you can't really chop all four arms off if you're using a hand saw. They would have been better off with a circular saw. |
| 5:42
| Maybe they could join the cast of Spamalot as the knight who gets his limbs chopped off. It's just a flesh wound! |
| 5:43
| These guys are obviously knuckleheads since they tried to commit suicide the hard way and didn't think the method all the way through. |
| 5:45
| Caller Brian is a paramedic. He saw responded to someone who committed suicide in a very interesting way. Steve wants to know why the guys didn't bleed to death after |
| 5:46
| If they were using a circular saw there's a good chance the blade was able to close off the major arteries, preventing the guys from bleeding to death. |
| 5:47
| Brian responded to a call at a South Side sausage factory. From across the room a few employees saw a guy do a swan dive into a 10 foot tall meat grinder. |
| 5:48
| By the time Brian got there the only thing that was left of the guy was a foot in a Reebok. |

| Steve just heard the biggest yawn in the world from one Mr. Buzz Kilman out in the hallway. He doesn't really care about the yawn but it did make him think we need a new studio door because it was closed and he still heard it. |
| 6:11
| The whole point of having a studio is that you're not supposed to hear what's going on outside of it. Drew seems like he's in a listening mode today so maybe he'll hear that and do something about it. |
| 6:12
| Buzz thinks Drew might have just been trying to get the donut, but Steve talked to him much earlier in the day. |
| 6:13
| Sometimes Steve should talk to Drew early in the day just to get things moving. He forgets about all the unmitigated garbage he has to deal with for the rest of the day. |
| 6:14
| News with Buzz |
| 6:15
| The importance of alternative energy is being stressed by President Bush on his tour of South America. He's talking about corn though right? That's what is making corn tortillas more expensive in Mexico. |
| 6:16
| FBI director Robert Muller is taking the blame for his agency's misuse of the Patriot Act to collect information about American citizens. |
| 6:17
| Buzz did not go Mexican last night but he's trying to make it happen tonight. He's got a gig tomorrow which is messing up his weekly Mexican food outing. Buzz didn't have a sitter so they couldn't go out. |
| 6:18
| Buzz has a sitter for tonight, Fred. Is that because none of the young girls will sit for them any more? |
| 6:19
| Is Fred WInston the babysitter? "Rup-rup-rup Piper!" |
| 6:20
| Fred gave Steve some nice press in Feder's column today. He did a dream radio station line-up on Rick Kaempfer's website and Steve was part of it. |
| 6:21
| Steve has tried over the last few years to get Rick various jobs in radio but he says he's not interested in it any more. He keeps writing about radio though he just doesn't want to work in radio. |
| 6:22
| Rick wrote that producer's handbook, which Mary and Brendan read. He can't be making that much off of writing a book though. He's doing that thing where he says he likes to be a house husband. Who would want to stay home with the kids? |
| 6:23
| The link to Rick's blog is complicated and hard to remember and the Fred WInston interview won't even be posted until Sunday. Steve can see why he fired him. |
| 6:24
| Rick had at least three different job offers at this station and he turned all of them down. If you don't want to work in radio you should stop writing about it. |
| 6:25
| AH! There's also an interview with Spike Manton on Rick's website. Does he interview anyone that has a job or is it just the jobless interviewing the jobless? That should be the name of his website. |
| 6:26
| You know who's in Steve's dream line-up? Pamela Anderson? He thinks he could get some things done with her but not until she shakes the hep-C. |
| 6:27
| Steve heard he's in Pamela Anderson's dream line-up also. If it ever happens Steve will definitely triple bag it because of all the guy's she's been with. He'd definitely be able to steer the boat though. |
| 6:28
| Rob Feder writes about Rick every other day even though he hasn't worked in radio in 5 years. Everyone he interviews is out of work too. |
| 6:29
| Rick also has a satirical book about radio called $everance coming out later this year. Hopefully there isn't a character in there named Sleve Bahl. God knows what Rick has seen Steve do. Mostly, Steve just yelled at him though. |
| 6:30
| Steve and Buzz are probably never going to get interviewed now but if they did it would mean they were out of work. |
| 6:31
| It's funny that you can be on the air 5 hours a day, 5 days a week and not be able to do anything right and then you can not work in radio for 5 years and write some blog and be called a genius. |
| 6:32
| A Federal Appeals court has overturned the District of Columbia's long-standing handgun ban. |
| 6:33
| This could mean a lifting of handgun bans in other major U.S. cities. Steve just wants Buzz to be schtrapped whenever he's downtown. Steve's going to get a gun this weekend. |
| 6:34
| Steve's original goal was to get the Tank Johnson cache of weapons but now he really likes the John Popper cache. All of Popper's weapons were legal but they were concealed. |
| 6:35
| Buzz spent a lot of time online the other night trying to figure out the gun that Hunter S. Thompson used to kill himself. |
| 6:36
| He got started down that path because he was talking yesterday about how he couldn't run any more and then got worried that his health would spiral out of control like Hunter's, then he'd want to kill himself. |
| 6:37
| Buzz read all the suicide accounts from Hunter's death and none named the gun that he used to kill himself which Buzz felt was slopping journalism. |
| 6:38
| Buzz ultimately settled on a .45 pistol because that was Hunter's favorite gun and one account said he shot himself with a handgun. |
| 6:40
| Steve has a police report from the Hunter S. Thompson suicide. A shotgun was found at the scene but he used a .357 which is your Dirty Harry gun. |
| 6:42
| Caller Scott wanted to let Steve know that the .44 is the Dirty Harry gun. It's the most powerful handgun in the world. |
| 6:43
| Steve doesn't know where he got the .357 from but he's going to get all of them this weekend, along with a police siren for his car. |
| 6:45
| Steve is new to the handgun world but he's very excited. Can't you shoot other shoppers at Bass Pro Shop? |
| 6:46
| Steve needs to take a break because we've got a hard end at 7:00 tonight. It also seems like Buzz's news is bottomless tonight. |
| 6:50
| Back to Buzz in the news room. |
| 6:51
| The news wasn't really that long, Steve just kept interrupting. |
| 6:52
| When Buzz is looking online for the gun that Hunter S. Thompson used to kill himself late at night he's hammered right? Because we found it in two seconds. Steve wants to see a bottle of tequila and Google on the computer screen when Buzz is looking. |
