You never know what's going to be on Steve's mind until you read his latest blog entry.

See how the other half lives. Blast off to the fertile matriarchy of Janet's Planet.

See what Steve and the gang are up to, on and off the air by perusing our extensive and searchable Photo Galleries.


		Monday, March 12, 2007



2:01	They're working Matt like a dog with the personal appearances but that's how you meet the people. Matt will be at the Jiffy Lube at 4400 W. Montrose today from 4:00-6:00 and he will be changing oil.
2:02	Matt had an issue with the boat over the summer when he forgot to check if there was oil in it.
2:03	Matt should get his car checked out while he's up at the Jiffy Lube. He's trying to drive that thing into the ground but so far it hasn't worked.
2:04	Matt should follow the example Mike set with his car ownership. He's Mr. 5,000 Mile Check-up and he takes it to the dealer every time he hears a rattle. He also steals Steve's free car wash coupons all the time.
2:05	Matt actually prefers to keep his car dirty because it takes some of the shine off the red paint. He might have gotten a better car if he would have shown some more responsibility for his car.
2:06	Matt has a job now and he's graduating in two months so he's very close to being off Steve's books.
2:07	Matt's car might be lame but at least it's a free car. Brendan still has to borrow a car from his mom and it's a Chrysler Seabring.
2:08	Matt and Brendan are at an age where they should be pretending they take the EL instead of talking about what kind of car they have. That's what Pete and Jim do. They just like the look of having their messenger bags, walking down Lake Street to the EL. Then they just veer off and get in their car.
2:11	Song: Kinda Fat, Chainsaw Dupont
2:13	Steve just had an angry Buzz Kilman in the studio. He wasn't angry enough to stop eating his sandwich and he's left the studio so Steve will stop talking until he gets back.
2:14	Buzz came in and said "I'm going to put an end to it" but instead of doing that he went back down the hallway.
2:15	Buzz was very disturbed because the song sounded awful. It appeared to be out-of-phase and you couldn't hear the vocals. Buzz was also irritated because it's Chainsaw Dupont who was on the show and who's new album is coming out soon.
2:15	Chainsaw has a record release party this Thursday at Rose's and Buzz will be in attendance. He also got a 3 1/2 star rave review in the Sun-Times this week.
2:16	Buzz thought Steve would like Kinda Fat because it's in praise of big women. It's a beautiful sentiment and one that has been echoed on the show from time-to-time.
2:17	The song sounded great on iTunes last night when Buzz was listening to it though. Was Buzz hammered while listening? Steve likes to think of Buzz sitting at home on a Sunday night hammering and listening to blues music.
2:18	There's no good way to monitor what's going out over the air around here because different people have different speakers. Some people only have the left side, some the left, some both but in mono. Steve decided to take Buzz's word that it didn't sound right though.
2:19	The vocals are down on this iTunes version, maybe that's just the mix. There is also a live acoustic version on iTunes.
2:20	Buzz thinks he might have been listening to the acoustic version last night. Steve can't tell if it sounds good or bad because all blues music sounds the same.
2:21	Both versions sound about the same to Steve. Is there something else Buzz wants to hear? Is he sure he wasn't hammered while listening to the song?
2:22	Buzz chooses another Chainsaw Dupont, Five Foot Two.
2:23	Song: Five Foot Two, Chainsaw Dupont
2:26	Apparently Chainsaw likes his women kind of fat and about 5' 2". That's round, like a bowling ball.
2:27	Buzz thinks he might have had the original CD with Kinda Fat on it at home but he doesn't know where it is. His blues CD collection is very scattered.
2:28	It's a sad day when even Buzz isn't committed to the blues. He's the Walter Reed of blues music anthologies.
2:33	Steve was very close to coming to the Harlem Avenue Lounge on Saturday night. It was 8:30 when he thought about going over there and he figured that Buzz wouldn't go on until after 10:00.
2:34	It was a fabulous night at the Harlem Avenue Lounge. Jimmy Byrne, local blues legend, showed up at the end of the night. He's Jane Byrne's brother right?
2:35	Steve couldn't help notice that Patrick Bertoletti was here. He brought in some peanut brittle for Steve and Buzz, although Steve doesn't eat food that was brought in by someone with a mohawk.
2:36	Patrick is actually a culinary student so he made the peanut brittle in class today. If Chef Hans had a mohawk Steve would eat food he brought in because he works at an established restaurant.
2:37	The peanut brittle is a little lighter in color because it wasn't properly caramelized. Patrick is still working on it. When he gets it right then Steve will have some. Patrick also brought Steve a Major League Eating t-shirt. It's surprisingly tasteful.
2:38	Patrick will be competing in the Spike TV corned beef competition in Savannah, Georgia this Saturday. He's the reigning champion. Steve thinks he could give him a run for his money in this competition or maybe in pastrami.
2:39	Steve is still trying to get the station to sponsor a food-eating competition. There are a ton of people who email Steve because they have pickles they want eaten. All of these ideas go to Drew's office and get lost forever. It's like their a hole in there and it gets flushed downstairs. Maybe Eddie and Jobo are doing an "Eat My Pickle" contest.
2:40	Then Drew will come down today and tell Steve they really need to sponsor an eating contest.
2:41	Steve thinks he could give Patrick a run for his money on the actual corned beef or pastrami but not a sandwich.
2:42	Patrick can eat 7-8 pounds of corned beef and cabbage if it's good. Kobayashi will also be competing so it should be a good one.
2:43	Patrick was told that Savannah has a huge St. Patrick's day celebration. That's probably how they got him down there. It seems like New York or Chicago would have bigger celebrations.
2:44	A lot of these eating contests seem really half-assed. They've got the corned beef and cabbage but it's in Savannah which isn't your go to St. Patrick's day place. After the corned beef and cabbage competition they'll move on to green donuts and jalapeños.
2:45	It makes Steve think that if he got an investment group together he could buy out all of these competitions, or at least start his own organization.
2:46	This Saturday's St. Patrick's day parade in Savannah will be the 183rd edition. It's the second largest parade in the U.S. Steve takes back some of what he said about it being half-assed but they should still just stick with corned beef and cabbage.
2:47	Buzz is wondering if Steve is familiar with the jalapeño poppers. Patrick, welcome Cave Buzz, we just thawed him out from a block of ice over the weekend. Those things have been around for about 20 years, but Buzz just had his first one last week. Buzz knows about cheese sticks right? Because Steve doesn't want him missing out on any other appetizers.
2:49	Patrick should at least try to beat that Japanese kid in the corned beef portion. He wants to win it all just because the prize money is really good.
2:50	Patrick should at least beat the female competitors. Whenever he loses to a girl Steve pretends he doesn't know Patrick.
2:56	Steve always feels bad when Patrick leaves but he can't help poking holes in the IFOCE thing. He really feels he could do a better job of focusing the IFOCE efforts. The competition is on Spike TV but it will still be lackluster.
2:57	Steve doesn't know how to go about buying the IFOCE but he feels it's the next WWF. He doesn't want David Hochberg buying it, although Jeff Schwartz would be a good person to sic on them.
2:58	Live read: Balance for Life
2:59	Steve's been trying really hard to lose weight and he's down about 10 pounds in the last month. He's trying to get down to his weight when he was in Hawaii 2 years ago which was 286. Between the weight loss and Steve's muscle tone Buzz won't be able to keep his hands off of him.
3:00	Steve's been on Balance for Life for over three years. 2 summers ago he got back up to around 319. That was the summer when he decided he didn't need to weigh himself everyday.
3:01	That was also the first summer Steve had in the Scout Seats at The Cell and it was very perilous between the pre-game buffets and the unlimited hot dogs.
3:02	We have tickets to give away for tomorrow Celtics at Bulls game. They tickets also include dinner for two at the Skyline Banquet room and a parking pass.
3:03	Right now Steve will give away 5 pairs of tickets to the 1059th-1063rd people who text Boston to 41059.
3:11	Steve noticed that Patrick Bertoletti was still out in the hall during that break waiting for his aircheck. What is this, a Phish concert? We should at least start charging for the airchecks and at a jacked-up rate.
3:12	Patrick's a good kid and hopefully he wins on Friday. Steve would really like someone to email him about taking over the IFOCE though.
3:13	Mark just IMed Steve requesting a moment of silence for Brad Delp, lead singer of Boston. Steve had no idea he had died but he is prepared to play one of the few Boston songs that he likes.
3:14	Steve went out to dinner with Boston when he was working in Detroit after their first album came out. He emceed their show somewhere downtown.
3:15	The only thing Steve remembers about Brad Delp is that he was a vegetarian which is ironic considering they were at a steakhouse. Steve is not a vegetarian and he's still alive so where's the justice in that?
3:16	Song: More Than a Feeling, Boston
3:20	When Steve had dinner with Boston in Detroit the one guy he wanted to meet from the band, Tom Scholz, was not there. He was the brains behind the operation and the inventor of the Rockman guitar amp. Instead Steve was stuck with the effeminate vegetarian lead singer and some Middle Eastern guy who was their drummer.
3:21	Brad Delp was found dead at his house on Friday. Buzz probably knew but didn't tell Steve because he didn't want to ruin his weekend.
3:22	Police aren't considering the death suspicious but toxicology tests are being performed. They hope to have the results by Friday. Why did Anna NIcole's toxicology test take so long?
3:23	Delp joined Boston in the mid-70s and sang on two of their biggest hits, More Than a Feeling and Long Time. He probably sang on all their biggest hits though.
3:24	Do we want to hear more about Brad Delp or less? This is probably the only time we're going to be able to talk about him.
3:25	Before Delp joined the band he was making heating elements for Mr. Coffee machines at Hot Watt.
3:33	Having a vegetarian at a steak house is not your ideal situation. It tends to put a damper on everyone else's enthusiasm, except Steve's of course.
3:34	That sometimes happens to Steve when he goes out and everyone feels bad for drinking in front of him. He doesn't care about that though.
3:35	There are 5 more pairs of tickets to give away for the Bulls game tomorrow but it'll be a different word so everyone can stop texting Boston in.
3:36	That's probably enough on the Brad Delp stuff though. Steve would still like to know the results of the toxicology test though. If they're doing a toxicology test but not an autopsy the police must have found something at the house.
3:37	Buzz hadn't heard that Delp's fiance was out all night the night before. If she's out for the night you're going to dial it up a notch and then if she doesn't come home you really dial it up.
3:38	The people Steve really feels sorry for in all this is the surviving members of Beatle Juice, the Beatles cover band that Delp was also in. The surviving members of Boston will probably carry on with another singer and do some lame tour with Styx.
3:39	Who was Delp in Beatle Juice though, Paul or John? Steve's guessing he was their Paul.
3:40	There was a big Boston tour scheduled for this summer so it seems like they were on the verge of a comeback. That's always how it happens. He was probably getting back into the rock-and-roll mode and then this happens.
3:41	Steve would like a full accounting of what Delp's fiance was doing the night before he died.
3:47	Steve and Buzz's wacky banter is as timely as last night's episode of The Simpsons. It's always good to be on the same page as them.
3:48	Steve does have some more information about Beatle Juice, the Beatles cover band that Brad Delp was in. Buzz is wondering if the name is available yet. It probably wasn't available when they formed the band. Does Tim Burton know about them?
3:49	Delp sang Lennon, McCartney a nd Harrison songs with equal aplomb. No mention of the Ringo Starr songs, although it's not to hard to sing like him.
3:50	Steve still wants to know what the fiance was doing the night before he died. As a Boston and Beatle Juice fan he deserves to know.
3:51	Steve's money is on Delp killing himself because she was staying out all night.
3:52	We probably don't need to hear any more Boston songs though right? More Than a Feeling was their big song, plus Steve and Buzz talked it up really sweet.
3:53	Steve's going to be talking to Kerry Sayers but first he wants to play her intro. Steve also owes her an apology. Last week when she was on the show it was very loud in the background and Steve assumed she was shopping. She knows her stuff though, plus it sounded just as loud when Dan Jiggetts called on Thursday.
3:54	Kerry loved the intro and she appreciates the apology but it wasn't really needed. It wasn't wrong to think that Kerry was shopping, just that she was shopping in the middle of the afternoon. Steve also accused Dan and Mark Schanowsky of shopping just to even things out.
3:55	Steve doesn't have March Madness yet. He doesn't really start paying attention until the Sweet 16. There's a lot of minutiae, especially with all the conference championships that were on over the weekend.
3:56	Steve can see how March Madness would be fun if you were in college though. Mike had a lot of fun two years ago when U of I made it to the championship game.
3:57	The Illini are playing Friday but it's in Columbus, Ohio. Everyone is saying it's such a relief that they're in the tournament, but they won't have an easy time. It seems like they can't score any points lately.
3:58	Kerry is interested to see how SIU fares though. They shouldn't have a problem with Holy Cross. It would be interesting to see them play SIU if the Illini can get past the first round.
3:59	Today Steve was trying to use the printer in his office and someone (Tina) was already trying to print out brackets. Tina's productivity is already suspect and now it's decreasing because of March Madness.
4:00	Tina was also handing out the brackets right at 2:00, when the show was starting. If we're going to do a Steve Dahl Show bracket Steve would like to make his selections after every round.
4:01	How are you supposed to know who's going to win all those games? That's how Steve wants to do it this year. Then after every round you have to put more money in if you want to stay in.
4:02	Steve feels that he's revolutionized the brackets. In years to come, people will refer to it as the Dahl Style.
4:03	There's probably a mathematical reason why people don't fill out the brackets Dahl Style.
4:04	The good news for Steve is the Bears haven't done anything to break his heart yet. Tank isn't in jail, we haven't heard from Briggs in a few days and Lovie and Jerry Angelo are both still employed.
4:05	Kerry's not sure what's going on with the White Sox pitching though. The best thing they've got going is the competition for the 5th starter spot.
4:06	The Cubs pitching isn't faring much better. Mark Prior will now be making a minor league start in Spring Training which isn't a good sign.
4:07	Kerry would love to see the Sox get Aaron Rowand back but she's not sure how they'd do it. If he's going to be breaking his nose going for a fly ball it might as well be in Chicago.
4:08	That's the kind of player you want on your team and that's the kind of player Kerry was back in the day. She played softball and female rugby. She was a stud on the rugby field.
4:09	Steve wasn't aware of female rugby but he wouldn't mind seeing some pictures.
4:14	That was pretty hardcore talking to Kerry Sayers about female rugby. She's pretty good looking too. Buzz hasn't seen what she looks like yet. One thing Steve really loves about Buzz is his natural curiosity. She likes Mexican food too, just like Buzz. It's kismet!
4:15	Fred the babysitter worked out really well for Buzz on Friday night while he and Aimee went out for Mexican. Fred is great and he's monosyllabic.
4:16	Matt Dahl is on the phone from the Jiffy Lube at 4400 W. Montrose. He just got out from under the hood of a car.
4:17	Matt's giving away some raffle prizes as well as WCKG giveaways, like a magnet of a cartoon Steve slam dunking a pineapple. That's what you want on your fridge for March Madness.
4:18	Steve reads some more from Kerry Sayers bio on the Comcast website. Her favorite movie and sports movie is An Affair to Remember and Bull Durham, respectively, just like Buzz. The last great book she read was Five People You Meet in Heaven which is a bit of a turn-off. Anything Mitch Albom is a turn-off.
4:19	Her favorite athletes are Chris Spielman and Walter Payton. Steve almost had to throw down with Chris Spielman once. Tom Thayer defused the situation by telling Chris that Steve was a green belt.
4:20	Steve was in Hawaii doing a week of shows and he was at some club in Waileia. Steve might have had a few too many by noon and all this happened at 10:00 PM.
4:21	Steve started swearing and Chris took offense and told him to stop swearing in front of his wife. Then Steve told him it wasn't the 1940's and some pushing and shoving might have started up.
4:22	Steve outweighed Chris by about 100 pounds so he felt he could have taken him. He also still thinks he could have taken Bob Probert that one time at the golf outing. Steve doesn't think he's delusional but in a fight he thinks he'd be pretty crazy. Bob Probert is shorter than Steve but he had a golf club and cart.
4:23	Did Buzz happen to see COPS on Saturday because they had one of their best episodes. Pete didn't see it either, what is he doing on a Saturday night that's better than watching COPS?
4:24	The COPS at 7:00 featured an officer arrested a black midget or a black dwarf. We need to get the audio because the guy started breaking really bad on the cop.
4:25	The guy was getting busted for panhandling on the Vegas strip which is apparently illegal. The cop must have said something incendiary because the guy took his shirt off and started yelling at him.
4:26	Caller George saw that COPS on Saturday. The dwarf was trying to flex his muscles for the cop but then he also wanted to kick his ass.
4:27	There's a guy on hold who says that he's seen that guy on a different episode of COPS.
4:28	Pete plays the audio although it might not be what Steve is talking about. The cop did say that the guy has been arrested on the strip before.
4:29	COPS might package the midget/dwarf stuff into one episode at some point, maybe "Little People, Big Crimes" or something like that.
4:34	When the cop got back into the car the guy listed all the things that he had been arrested for and they were a lot worse than breakdancing on the strip for money.
4:35	Caller Kelly saw a COPS about a month ago where the dwarf was doing backflips on the strip. The officer in the episode on Saturday was also there the last time. When he showed up that time the guy shimmied up an electrical pole to get away.
4:36	The cop took the guy to the Imperial Palace where they apparently hire little people instead of arresting him. Unfortunately it doesn't have a happy ending.
4:37	Live read: Balance for LIfe
4:43	COPS isn't for everyone but it's Steve's favorite show. He respects police officers but it's funny on COPS because of the overkill. They know they'll be on TV so they've got 20 cops chasing down a guy with $10 worth of crack.
4:44	COPS is all the good stuff that you want to slow down and see when you drive by a police car. Buzz is usually napping when COPS is on. That seems like a weird time to be napping but Buzz wants to go full-throttle when he gets to the Mexican restaurant around 9:30.
4:45	The late afternoon nap is the only one Buzz gets during the week. He used to be able to nap between 2-7 everyday but now Steve is really working him hard.
4:46	Headlines with Buzz
4:47	Arson appears to be the cause of a fire that took the lives of 4 people in Wrigleyville early Saturday morning. The suspect is a local homeless woman who has bags on her feet.
4:48	The guy who saw her light a fire earlier that morning has been on TV all weekend, in different outfits. He didn't do anything about it though.
4:49	If Steve saw someone lighting a fire out on the sidewalk he'd do more than be amused by it.
4:50	Snoop Dogg spent last night in a Swedish jail on suspicion of being under the influence of narcotics. Yumpin' yiminy!
4:51	Adolf Hitler is on the verge of losing his German citizenship. He was born in Austria but became a German citizen in 1932. Now a German lawmaker would like to revoke it as a symbolic act.
4:52	No matter what you do, people are also going to connect Hitler with Germany.
4:53	Some parents are claiming that Oprah's new school in Africa is so harsh that they aren't allowed to visit their children and no cellphones are allowed.
4:54	There's shocking video of a 101-yearold woman being punched twice in the face by a mugger. Buzz just saw the video accidentally 5 minutes ago. The woman is apparently mad because she thinks she could have taken the guy 25 years ago.
4:57	Caller Eddie saw the full video of the 101-year old woman getting punched by a mugger. She did eventually get knocked down by a third punch.
4:58	Song: Short People, Randy Newman
5:01	Short People is a short song but Buzz didn't know that. They're not going to have a long song about short people.
5:02	We've got a short person theme with the Chainsaw Dupont song Five Foot Two. We had to break format with the Boston song because Brian Delp died.
5:03	Steve could use a Dunkin' Donuts pick-me-up. He can tell by the weight of the bag that there's a pick-me-up for someone else in there if Buzz is interested.
5:04	Sister Marianne, Steve's personal nun, is on the phone. Hopefully he hasn't done anything egregious.
5:05	Sister Marianne is actually being tempted by the pick-me-up and now she needs to go get a donut. Steve loves corrupting a nun.
5:06	That's only the first step down the path for Marianne. Wait until she sees what happens next.
5:07	Steve just had to dump Marianne. He can't believe he had to dump a nun. Buzz was confused by what she said and maybe it's just Steve's dirty mind.
5:08	Marianne was distracted because he cellphone was acting stupid. Maybe that was a sign from God.
5:09	Around Buzz's house they don't use the word stupid. OK Mr. Holier Than Thou. This is the same house that encourages the Curly hi sign and hip-hop dancing.
5:10	Steve has some information on the guy who saw the homeless woman starting a small fire early Saturday morning in Wrigleyville.
5:11	The guy saw the woman lighting a sweater on fire and asked her what was going on. She said she was trying to keep warm even though it wasn't very cold on Friday. Then he called 311.
5:12	It's good that he called 311 but that seems like a 911 call. The city would probably tell him to call 311 if there was a crazy homeless lady setting fires on your sidewalk though.
5:13	Steve wouldn't want to give interviews on 4 people being dead. He likes to stay inside the house for stuff like that.
5:14	Steve has 5 more pairs of tickets to give away for tomorrow's Celtics at Bulls game. The word is Celtics to 41059.
5:20	If Steve calls 311 he doesn't give interviews. He'd only give an interview if he had called 911. He also wouldn't live in Wrigleyville because there's no parking.
5:21	Matt Dahl is calling in from the Jiffy Lube at 4400 W. Montrose. He just got a visit from one of Chicago's finest, which is always a bit alarming at first.
5:22	Steve is a little distracted because he's still reeling from having sex talk with a nun.
5:23	Caller Colleen was just telling Brandon that she used to live in Wrigleyville. People need to stop telling Steve that they were just telling Brendan about something.
5:24	Colleen is actually a woman from Steve's past. It just keeps getting better! Colleen actually worked in traffic at The Loop. Buzz is rolling his eyes now. Steve didn't do anything wrong!
5:25	Steve wanted to thank Bud Light for providing the 10 pairs of Bulls tickets and the dinner and the parking. They always take care of us.
5:30	Live read: My Chauffeur
5:31	A My Chauffeur limo took Steve to work last Monday but he decided that he likes to drive to work on Mondays. That's a good day for him to drive to work because he's been home all weekend and can't wait to get in his car and rev it up.
5:32	Steve decided that he should just use the limo whenever he needs it. For instance Steve's Japanese friend Shu wants to go out to dinner on Wednesday.
5:33	After watching the first 11 episodes of Heroes Steve decided he needed a Japanese friend. Steve wants to go to Japan with Shu because that seems like the only way to go. Otherwise he'll end up like Bill Murray.
5:34	Shu wants to go for Korean barbeque at a place on Lawrence so Steve thought that would be a great chance to use the limo. He doesn't want to drive up there and deal with parking so the limo can pick him up here after work and then drive him back to his car.
5:35	Steve doesn't need a limo ride home because he doesn't drink. One great thing about not drinking any more is you always know you can drive yourself home.
5:36	Steve's going to put 4 hours on the reservation because Shu's a talker. Plus he has to repeat himself a lot because Steve doesn't understand what he's saying.
5:37	Is this place near the Admiral? Steve told the guy who owns that place that he'd come in some time, maybe he should put down 5 hours.
5:38	Shu's wife is coming to dinner as well as two of her friends. They'll have to lose them before they go to the Admiral.
5:39	Brendan once gave a drunk stripper a ride home and didn't even try to go inside with her. She probably would have let him come in too. Every time Buzz hears that story he can't believe it happened.
5:40	Steve read the My Chauffeur number wrong again. The same thing happened last night and then the Pantsuit Brigade descended on the studio to correct him.
5:47	If Buzz wants to come to dinner on Wednesday Steve has reserved a 6 passenger limo. They could drop him off before they go to the Admiral.
5:48	Shu might not even want to go to the Admiral but if Steve's going to be that close he has to stop in. He never went there when he was drinking because they don't serve alcohol. As an alcoholic Steve couldn't go anywhere that didn't serve booze but now he'll be fine with his Diet Coke.
5:49	Caller Pat wanted to let Steve know that you can get Red Bull at the Admiral. If you did need alcohol there's a bar three doors down and they'll stamp you for re-entry.
5:50	Pat also alerts Steve to the Sky Box in Harvey, where there's nudity and you can drink. Steve can't really think beyond what he's doing now. It also seems like lately everything bad that happens happens in Harvey.
5:51	The guy who owns the Admiral is affiliated with a place in Vegas and he's hooked Steve up there so this is a business call. Steve's going to talk to him about doing a live remote.
5:52	Time for some sports. The Sox are trailing the Padres in the 8th inning but it doesn't matter because it's Spring Training.
5:53	The Cubs are acting like it's perfectly normal for Mark Prior to be making a minor league start in Spring Training, but it's not. He's a headcase!
5:54	Luol Deng has been named as a finalist for the J. Walter Kennedy award, which recognizes the NBA player who best combines on-court prowess with off-the-court community involvement. Other finalists include Chauncey Billups and Kobe Bryant, who's very known for his off-the-court activities.
5:55	Didn't Buzz win that award last year?
5:56	Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Charles Sharon and a companion were arrested Saturday night in Tampa after a police officer noticed the smell of marijuana coming from his car. Steve's not sure how that's pronounced and Brendan doesn't know either. It took him 20 minutes to explain he didn't know though.
5:57	Police searched the vehicle and found a Glock. Steve is so getting his guns next weekend.
5:58	There's a Bass Pro Shop on the way up to New Buffalo and Steve was going to stop there last weekend but it was really crowded. Steve didn't know how to deal with 1,000 people while he's trying to build up his arsenal.
5:59	Steve already has a few guns but one of them is from his childhood so it's more of a novelty. Everything is legal though because he has a FOID card.
6:00	Not to sound like Kevin Matthews but Steve does belong to a gun club. Now that he's not drinking he'd like to renew his interest in guns.
6:01	The last time Steve was at the gun club he was hammered and kept sneaking upstairs from the shooting range to drink Scotch.
6:02	Does Brendan have a pronunciation for this guy yet? HIs effort today has been very lackluster after a week's worth of 1 hour shows. Do we need to replace him out there?
6:03	Buzz could tell from the first call of the day that something was off. He was listening to it, asking himself why it was on the air.
6:04	Brendan's not tired he just thinks he's having a bad day. Maybe he needs a nap in between Matt's show and Steve's show?
6:05	Brendan didn't have any bad days last week but the adrenaline was working pretty hard because it was his first week of daily shows. Now it's the second week and it's sunken in that he has to keep doing this everyday to make a living.
6:06	The same thing happened to Stan Lawrence after his first week. He lost his mind and he never got it back. Now he just walks around here and doesn't even recognize Steve, dressed like a gay black lumberjack.
6:07	Steve is looking at a photo of Big Steve, without the proper t-shirt, carrying what is supposed to be a microphone but looks like a pimp stick. Next to Big Steve is Stan dressed like Bishop Don Magic Juan and Adam is kneeling in front of them with a dog.
6:08	Caller Tim wanted to let Steve know that if he buys a gun in Indiana he can't bring it to Illinois. He has to take delivery of the gun from a dealer in Illinois.
6:09	That seems stupid that you can't buy a gun in Indiana. Steve pays his taxes, he's not doing anything wrong.
6:10	Caller Jim wanted to let Steve know that there's a Bass Pro Shop in Bolingbrook so he doesn't have to drive all the way up to Gurnee.
6:11	With all the gun talk, stripper talk and limo talk, Steve is being told to play some hip-hop. He might be rolling in that direction.
6:12	Steve wants one more call and then he'll get off Brendan's case. Brendan is recommending Kathy on line four, who was at the South Side parade.
6:13	Brendan can't even talk today. He might be a bit sluggish because he didn't eat lunch. Maybe he needs a pick-me-up.
6:14	Brendan is probably exhausted now because he has to talk much faster with the one hour show.
6:15	Caller Kathy was at the South Side parade yesterday and thought she saw Big Steve but wasn't sure. Big Steve has been mistaken for Dick Cheney, Dennis Hastert and Harry Caray.
6:16	When Big Steve got closer Kathy saw that he was holding a microphone that said WCKG on it. Joe said he couldn't locate a 10X t-shirt but didn't we have a place that was selling them?
6:17	The kids did love Big Steve though. Joe is always talking about how the kids love Big Steve but he doesn't care about that. Steve doesn't want kids knowing who he is and he doesn't want Big Steve around them.
6:18	Frijole Joe is on the phone. He got a shirt for Big Steve but it didn't fit. Big Steve also has a window in his chest so the person inside can see where he's going. With a t-shirt on the person can't see.
6:19	Joe came up with the microphone idea and whenever people saw it they knew it was Big Steve. Joe has video to prove it. He needs to stay away from the kids though.
6:20	Big Steve's next event is the downtown St. Patrick's day parade. Then after that the Conrad Black trial, which Joe heard was going to be a media circus. Buzz would like to see Big Steve testifying at the trial.
6:21	There is one picture of something that looks like Big Steve's Girls Gone Wild. Joe has more of those photos actually. One of the girls is sticking her tongue out and grabbing Big Steve's collar.
6:22	That South Side parade is where it's at. Joe claims the girls knew who Steve was but he always says that.
6:23	Joe and Ed Silha have been talking about putting the Cabesa Cam on Big Steve. Steve would prefer if the two of them didn't collaborate. It's fertile ground for bad decisions.
6:24	That being said it seems like Joe was about 1 step away from a Girls Gone Wild scenario but unfortunately Ed is 10 steps away. He hasn't seen a naked woman since he was born.
6:25	Steve forgets that Ed was once a pornographer. When he first started working for Steve he had a webcam room set up in his apartment but he couldn't make enough money on it because he gave out free 5-minute previews.
6:26	Former pornographer Ed Silha is on the phone. The problem with his webcam was the girl was giving away too much for free and he was also a little ahead of the technology curve. That's always how it is, pioneers get the arrows, settlers get the land.
6:27	Joe felt that he was very close to a Girls Gone Wild situation but didn't know how to take it to the next step. Maybe he's not the right man for the job?
6:28	Ed is on board for the Big Steve Girls Gone Wild. How did he find girls for his webcam, if he doesn't mind Steve asking.
6:29	Ed took out ads in some local papers but he turned the interviews over to his partners in the project. Why would he do that?
6:30	Steve wants a proposal for this on his desk by Friday. Ed still has all the release forms which works out great.
6:37	Ed Farmer is on the phone and the Sox lost today but we don't care until 10 days before the season starts.
6:38	Ed and Chris were on the air today which is good. Mark Zarang is their engineer now so now worries.
6:39	Did Ed just call in to bum Steve out because he already bought his season tickets for the year.

6:48	President Bush is in Guatemala as part of his 5 day South American tour, promoting a free trade agreement.
6:49	Is Buzz aware of the Israeli ambassador who's into the rough trade? Apparently he was only able to identify himself to authorities after a rubber ball gag was removed from mouth.
6:53	Snoop Dogg and a young woman were arrested in Sweden on suspicion of being under the influence of narcotics. Why does Steve see him with a young, blond Swedish girl?
6:54	Snoop was released and continued on his European tour with Diddy. Of course he'll return to Sweden for the trial. He's probably got the plane ticket booked already.
6:59	The gladiator epic 300 was tops at the box office over the weekend. Buzz didn't see it but he did see the Korean horror movie The Host.
