| Matt's out at a Jiffy Lube this afternoon. He hardly ever does that. Matt's not sure how to say the address of the Jiffy Lube. He's been saying ten seven fifty but then someone said it was one oh seven fifty. |
| 2:04
| Then Matt got a text message from a listener saying he sounded like an idiot the way he was first saying it. Why does Matt read those? There are a few good ones but they're mostly mean. Doesn't he have someone to screen those? |
| 2:05
| According to Stephanie the proper way to say it is one hundred seven fifty because it's at 107th Street on Halsted. |
| 2:06
| Matt was just going off of the promos that the station was airing, which said ten seven fifty. Those were put together by John Castino but he's not a South Sider. |
| 2:07
| Matt shouldn't be looking at text messages though. Even Steve doesn't do that. At least with an email you can recognize the name of a potential troublemaker. |
| 2:08
| With the text messages you can see the person's phone number. What we need around here is a death squad to look up the person's address by the phone number. |
| 2:09
| Matt hasn't had his oil changed yet after several Jiffy Lube appearances. He might want to have the oil drained just because he's trying to get rid of the car. |
| 2:10
| Now Steve is getting conflicting reports about how to say the address of the Jiffy Lube. Different people have different ways to say it which is my Matt was having a problem. |
| 2:11
| Caller Dave hails from 107th and Western. The way they would say the address down there is one oh seven fifty. You don't say South either because that's implied since there's no 107th on the Northside. |
| 2:12
| Dave wanted to get in a plug for the restaurant he works at in case Matt and his entourage want to stop there after the JIffy Lube appearance. |
| 2:13
| The plug is going to count as a spin of the wheel, just so Matt knows. The restaurant is called the Coda Bistro at 104th and Western. |
| 2:14
| Steve doesn't see Matt stopping at the restaurant. Matt's not really a bistro guy. |
| 2:15
| When Matt calls in today he should try to have more to say because Steve's doing all the work. He should have a story, like how a guy pulled a knife on him or something. |
| 2:16
| Caller Carlton thinks that Matt should say the address one oh seven fitty. He also thinks Matt should leave at 5:59 instead of 6:00. He might also want to wear the Free FM bullet-proof vest. |
| 2:19
| Song: Eat It, "Weird Al" Yankovic |
| 2:23
| The worst thing about Brendan having his own show is that he doesn't put out Steve's water any more. He doesn't feel like a celebrity now. |
| 2:24
| Everyone else has water put out for them, even Patrick Bertoletti. Meanwhile Steve has to go get his from the cooler. |
| 2:25
| Patrick was down in Savannah for the big corned beef and cabbage eating contest. Steve didn't watch it but he does know that Patrick tied in the first round with Joey Chestnut and went on to win the next two rounds and the entire competition. |
| 2:26
| Patrick ate 10.6 pounds of corned beef and cabbage in 10 minutes. He only struggled with the last pound of food which took him several minutes. |
| 2:27
| The following day Patrick ate 47 donuts with green frosting and green filling. Steve saw Patrick on Fox Thing in the Morning last week and Patrick ate a bunch of donuts in 30 seconds. |
| 2:28
| Mike Barz was making a big deal about Patrick dipping the donuts in water but two years ago he saw him do a hot dog eating contest and he had no problem dipping the buns into water. He was just being dramatic. Mike Barz is in fact a hot dog. |
| 2:29
| The corned beef and cabbage contest was at 4:00 on Friday and the cabbage acted as a nice digestive. Steve gets what cabbage does, he doesn't need Patrick explaining it. |
| 2:30
| Steve is more interested in the jalapeños. A half hour after the donut-eating contest he ate 98 pickled jalapeños. That seems very dangerous. |
| 2:31
| If Steve were in a corned beef and cabbage eating contest he'd just want to sit there and enjoy his food. Patrick wanted to eat it with a knife and fork like on Seinfeld. Buzz doesn't get the Seinfeld reference. On the show there was an episode where everyone was eating candy bars with knives and forks. This is one of Patrick's bizarre, mish-mashed concepts like "you talkin' to meat?" |
| 2:32
| On Friday Patrick was being heckled by some guys because of his mohawk. It does make him look like road kill. Later that night though those guys ended up buying him some drinks. He's supposed to be doing that with the girls not the dudes. |
| 2:33
| Buzz is wondering why the number 105 is written on Patrick's hand. That's in case he got too drunk over the weekend and forgot his hotel room number. |
| 2:34
| Patrick is up a few points in the IFOCE rankings. He has to beat Joey Chestnut a few more times before he can supplant him. |
| 2:35
| Patrick's next contest will be deep-fried asparagus in Stockton, California in April. Steve used to go up to that area when he was younger and pick fresh asparagus right off the ground. |
| 2:36
| Asparagus is pretty good on it's own, why do they have to deep-fry it? |
| 2:37
| Last year Patrick ate about 4 pounds of asparagus which is a lot because it's deep-fried. What the IFOCE really needs to do is clean up their competition foods a bit. |
| 2:38
| Stockton is known for it's asparagus so when they're having an eating contest they should just present a nice plate of steamed asparagus. |
| 2:39
| That's why the IFOCE should ban liquid dunking of any kind. It looks disgusting when they're dunking hot dog buns in water at Nathan's. |
| 2:40
| Steve doesn't mean to take anything away from Patrick though. He's an athlete so he eats what's in front of him. Steve and Buzz are like his Lovie Smith and Jerry Angelo. |
| 2:45
| The strangest thing Steve has ever seen if Garry Meier eating ribs with a knife and fork. He probably still does it and maybe Buzz will find that out soon. |
| 2:46
| Garry wasn't doing it for laughs either, he just said he didn't want to get his hands messy. Steve told him that people were starting to stare but he didn't care. |
| 2:47
| Caller Don is in his Peterbilt truck hauling some pork downstate. Nice! Grab a pork shoulder for Steve! |
| 2:48
| Don saw the competition over the weekend and Joey Chestnut was starting to drool during the jalapeño competition. It looked like they were pickled but Don couldn't figure out in what. |
| 2:49
| Patrick is still lurking outside the studio, maybe he can come back in and explain it. |
| 2:50
| The jalapeños were pickled in vinegar. Joey Chestnut was also drinking milk and Patrick was drinking chocolate milk. The milk cuts down on the heat from the peppers and the sugar in the chocolate cuts the vinegar. So really it was a jalapeño and chocolate milk eating contest. |
| 2:51
| Patrick actually graduates from culinary school tomorrow. That really puts a lot of pressure on his eating career. He probably needs to get an apartment too. |
| 2:52
| Patrick has a place on the Northside but it's a crappy apartment. Right now he's thinking of getting a job with no weekends so he can keep doing competitions and making money to open his restaurant. |
| 2:53
| Maybe Steve and Buzz should brainstorm on a competitive eater-themed restaurant like the Big Texans. If you eat everything your meal is free, although you don't have to enter into a competition. |
| 3:00
| Does Pete have to play the tape of Steve eating the steak at the Big Texan every time he mentions the place? The disappointment in the boy's voices is palpable. |
| 3:01
| Things haven't really been the same since Steve failed to eat that steak. If Steve can't even be good at being fat, what good is he? |
| 3:02
| Song: Ring of Fire, Johnny Cash |
| 3:05
| Buzz wasn't at the Christmas party where Brendan, Terry Hardin and Vinny Conroy sang Ring of Fire. He was there this year but just barely. As Steve was arriving Buzz was leaving with Jimmy Mac. |
| 3:06
| Buzz was at the Christmas party two years ago for Terryaoke. That was basically just a way for Terry's wife to get a gig since she's a singer. |
| 3:07
| Buzz missed Brendan, Terry and Vinny singing Ring of Fire though but it was a highlight. |
| 3:08
| Everyone sang a verse of the song but Brendan's was very low and almost sub-audible. It did clear the building of roaches though. |
| 3:13
| It was good talking to Patrick although when Steve says we should have him on it could be on the phone. Patrick really doesn't have anywhere else to go. His life is more like Officer and a Gentleman than Taxi Driver. It's probably a combination of both. |
| 3:14
| Patrick's star is rising in the IFOCE. Steve and Buzz were very disappointed after last year's showing at the Nathan's competition and he was ranked in 5th place. Now he's ranked third and he just beat the #2 guy over the weekend. |
| 3:15
| If Steve was representing Patrick he would be lobbying very hard to have him ranked #2 after the corned beef competition. |
| 3:16
| Patrick seems very happy with his ranking but he's set the bar very low with his mohawk and his iPod. You'd think as a chef he'd be washing his hands all the time but he still has his room number written on his hand from Saturday. |
| 3:17
| Remind Steve to never eat anything that Patrick prepares. He'll end up with hepatitis or something. |
| 3:18
| There's a commercial Steve's been seeing where a guy is in a restaurant bathroom washing his hands when the chef emerges from the stall, says "avoid the shrimp scampi" and doesn't wash his hands. It's very funny but Steve doesn't know what it's a commercial for. |
| 3:19
| Yesterday Steve and Buzz were talking about Phil Spector's latest hairstyle at the jury selection for his murder trial. CNN was making a big deal about it, but it's no more inappropriate than the giant afro he had when he was first arraigned. |
| 3:20
| There are a lot of people calling in right now so Steve can only assume someone knows the commercial Steve is talking about. The only one Brendan has screened is someone saying there's a Seinfeld episode about a chef who doesn't wash his hands. |
| 3:21
| Steve doesn't care about the Seinfeld call. There's a Seinfeld episode about everything, plus we already had our one Seinfeld reference for the day and it didn't even make sense. |
| 3:22
| The Sun-Times had a nice feature about all of Phil Spector's hairstyles over the years so Steve and Buzz were on the cutting edge of something yesterday. |
| 3:23
| Buzz also saw something about another incident with Phil Spector involving a gun and John Lennon. Steve has all of that in front of him. |
| 3:24
| Caller Scott used to do jury consulting and the new blond hairstyle is a trick to make the jury think he's slight and incapable of committing murder. |
| 3:25
| Scott doesn't want a spin of the wheel but he doesn't get to decide that. The format is callers get a spin of the wheel. |
| 3:26
| While Buzz was selecting a restaurant just for Scott, he hung up. Steve's going to take the gift certificate then. Maybe he and Buzz could have lunch before the show or something. |
| 3:27
| No one has called in with that commercial. Steve doesn't think it's a Southwest Airlines commercial either. He doesn't see them getting involved in some bad scampi. |
| 3:28
| Back to the Phil Spector thing. Phil used to threaten Ronnie Spector that if she acted up he would kill her and display her in a gold coffin. He also refused to let her tour with the Stones or the Beatles because he was afraid she'd be attracted to one of them. |
| 3:29
| After watching Dancing With the Stars last night Steve can't figure out what Paul McCartney saw in Heather Mills. |
| 3:30
| During Phil Spector's reclusive period in the late 60s Ronnie claimed that he locked her in their house and wouldn't let her leave. |
| 3:31
| Spector also fired a weapon in the studio while recording with John Lennon on his cover's album Rock & Roll. |
| 3:32
| Spector also held a gun to Leonard Cohen's head so he'd play the drums the right way. |
| 3:36
| Caller Ben wanted to recommend End of the Century about The Ramones. DeeDee Ramone talked about how Phil Spector would keep them at his mansion, drugged up and holding guns to their heads. |
| 3:37
| Steve doesn't care about The Ramones. They're all dead aren't they? He thought they were all brothers because they had the same hairstyle and were all plug-ugly. |
| 3:38
| Buzz knew The Ramones' mother when she lived in Florida. Was he her pool boy? She actually had a radio show at the station where Buzz worked. |
| 3:39
| Ben can confirm that she was probably Joey's mom since they talked about him going to college in Florida but dropping out right away. How does Ben know that but doesn't know if everyone in the band is related? |
| 3:40
| Pete can confirm that none of the band members were related and none of them were named Ramone. Buzz is wondering who's mother had a radio show in Miami then. |
| 3:41
| The woman probably just made it up to get a radio show, easily duping a bunch of drug-addled hippies. |
| 3:42
| Song: Echo, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers |
| 3:50
| Phil Spector looks like Tom Petty's good-looking, older brother, which still isn't that good. Steve was trying to capture the pathos and tragedy of the entire Phil Spector event with that song. That's what he does because he's a DJ. |
| 3:51
| Steve doesn't think Phil Spector will be convicted because they found gun powder on the victim's hands. Of course the woman shot herself in the teeth and no one really does that. |
| 3:52
| The prosecutor could argue that she had gun powder on her hands because she was trying to pull the gun away. |
| 3:58
| On the phone is Luke Stuckmeyer from Comcast Sportsnet. Last week Steve and Buzz didn't know who he was and now they're going to start calling him Stucky. |
| 3:59
| Luke has been called Stucky but he'd prefer not to be called Skywalker. Of course if Steve says Stucky then Buzz will wonder if they still have Stuckey's around. |
| 4:00
| Today Luke is doing the 6:00 and 10:00 sports report with Gayle Sayers so he's been upgrade from the late-night or early morning. |
| 4:01
| It's time now to play Luke Stuckmeyer trivia. Last week Steve mentioned Luke's favorite food...what was that favorite food Buzz? |
| 4:02
| Luke's favorite food is steak and Eggos. Buzz should have known that! |
| 4:03
| Chuck Garfein is out at U.S. Cellular Field today reporting on some new off-season improvements. All the seats will be green this year which makes a big difference. |
| 4:04
| The Sox moved their press box towards right field and replaced the old one with some new luxury suites. Luke probably won't be allowed in those during the season. He has been in the outfield box at Wrigley though which is very nice. |
| 4:05
| Steve hasn't been out to Wrigley in a while but he know's John McDonough and he likes him so he might try to go out there this year. He also likes Lou Piniella and can't wait to see him erupt. |
| 4:11
| Steve's loving the crosstown rivalry between Lou and Ozzie. The great thing is they're both Hispanic so they can get away with it. |
| 4:12
| Caller Brian wanted to let Steve know that the Sox changed all of their seats to green except two that are still blue. One where Scott Podsednik's home run landed and one where Konerko's grand slam landed. |
| 4:13
| On the phone is Matt Dahl from the Jiffy Lube at 108th & Halsted. He's at one oh seven fitty. |
| 4:14
| Buzz likes Matt's energy today. Steve told him earlier that he needs to have more material if he's going to call in. |
| 4:15
| Matt was in the hood yesterday but he's really in the hood today. He must really stick out driving the red VW Beetle. With any luck it'll get stolen. |
| 4:16
| Live read: Balance for Life |
| 4:17
| As Steve has said before, if you're going to be on a diet you might as well be eating food that tastes good. |
| 4:18
| Buzz had one of Steve's snacks last week and it was the highlight of his nutritional month. He can't remember what it was called but it had chicken and guacamole in it. |
| 4:24
| Caller Rich wanted to let Steve know that the Red Sox have sea foam green seats in Fenway, but there's a red seat for where Ted Williams hit his last hit, a home run. |
| 4:25
| Steve doesn't care if the Sox want to have seats with different colors but he doesn't want them to be that green they've had in the past. How about foul pole yellow? |
| 4:26
| Hopefully someone is sitting in those seats when Steve is there otherwise it'll drive him nuts. |
| 4:27
| Steve's not going to opening day this year because he has to work. The game starts at 1:00 so that won't work. |
| 4:28
| Also this year, the Sox are starting some games at 7:11 and that's sponsored by 7-11. They keep whoring themselves out while Steve raising ticket prices. |
| 4:29
| Steve doesn't mind the 7:11 start time because it means he'll be able to get to the game on time. He can make it down to The Cell in 11 minutes. |
| 4:30
| News with Buzz |
| 4:31
| Iraqi militants have said they will now start using women and children in suicide bombings. What exactly is it that they want at this point? |
| 4:33
| The flight attendant who admitted to having sex with actor Ralph Fiennes in an airplane bathroom is now saying she was a former prostitute. What airline was this? It sounds perfect. |
| 4:40
| There's a lot of pressure on Jeff this week because last week's 24 Report was much better without him. What a great way to start off the phone call. |
| 4:41
| Before we start, Steve can't do another 24 Report when he sounds like Darth Vader. |
| 4:42
| Jeff does have some good news for Steve. The commercial he's talking about with the chef was a Ford commercial from 2 years ago. |
| 4:43
| That can't be because Steve just saw it. Jeff's going to need to call back because Steve can't take this echo he's hearing. |
| 4:44
| Steve can't start this segment off by explaining something from two hours ago either. Plus Jeff won't be swayed from his belief that he's right. |
| 4:45
| Jeff is back on the phone and he sounds better. He called on the other studio line so maybe that's it. Had Jeff stuck around for a while after the new studio was built this wouldn't be a problem. |
| 4:46
| Jeff's vacation was very relaxing. While he was away Steve managed to tell the story about Jeff shoving bad shrimp down the umbrella hole at a restaurant. |
| 4:47
| Then Jeff felt guilty because he thought it was smell really bad so he called and blamed it on his fictional kids. |
| 4:48
| Steve's not prepared to do the 24 Report right now, he doesn't even have the music going. |
| 4:49
| Jeff thought last night's episode was phenomenal but Steve is losing interest. Jeff thought it was great when President Logo was stabbed. Jeff says Logo and not Logan because he's in marketing. |
| 4:50
| Caller Pam wanted to let Steve know that the commercial in question is for National Car Rental. |
| 4:51
| Steve sounds hollow talking to Pam but it's only short-term so he doesn't mind. |
| 4:52
| Pam won the bonus prize, the Steve Dahl Restaurant Tour which Jeff came up with. |
| 4:58
| Now back to the 24 Report with Jeff Schwartz, our 24 correspondent. He watches it so we don't have to remember what we saw. |
| 4:59
| 24 was the only show that didn't get slammed in the ratings last night because of Dancing With the Stars. ABC should be really proud of themselves for that one. |
| 5:00
| Jeff has really enjoyed the last two weeks of the show and he thinks they're setting it up for a big finale. Ricky Schroeder is great and Jeff can't wait to find out what he didn't in Denver. |
| 5:01
| The first audio clip features Markov and Fayed talking about the remaining bombs. |
| 5:02
| It seems like people are hacking into the CTU computers all the time or that a CTU agent is double-crossing them. They want us to think it's that Middle Eastern girl but Steve thinks it's that Milo guy. Jeff thinks it'll be a new character. |
| 5:03
| The next clip is Jack and Chloe talking about the death of Jack's girlfriend. Jack's acting like everyone kept her death from him for 6 months but it's only been 14 hours. Everyone's been very busy. |
| 5:04
| Jeff thinks that Audrey is still alive and that President Palmer traded her to get Jack back. The Chinese knew that eventually Jack would return to China and find her. |
| 5:05
| It also seems like they're grooming Ricky Schroeder to replace Jack so Keifer doesn't have to be on the show as much. |
| 5:06
| The final clip features the Vice President, who Jeff thinks is 24's best villain since Jack's dad who has been mysteriously absent for the last 3 episodes. |
| 5:07
| Steve was just given Sophie's Choice in his headset. Call Neil Funk or go to a break. Can't Steve just pretend he's Neil again? He doesn't like when people go AWOL. They're gone one week and then want to be on the next week. They should have to work their way back up through Stan and Terry or something. |
| 5:15
| On the phone is Neil Funk and Matt Dahl's at the Jiffy Lube at 108th and Halsted. Matt calls Neil Mr. Funk, which sounds good. |
| 5:16
| Neil is wondering why Matt is at that Jiffy Lube. Does he have a car there or something? |
| 5:17
| OK back to Neil Funk. It sounds like Matt's having a good time down there. |
| 5:18
| Steve got a very vague email from Jen Donahue saying that Neil's weekly segment is now sponsored by Great Clips. She CCed several people to it including Drew, Mary and Jill from promotions but not John Castino the production guy. |
| 5:19
| Neil doesn't mind this week as long as Steve does his Drew Hayes impersonation. |
| 5:20
| Steve can give Neil a Lettuce Entertain You gift certificate or something since the segment isn't sponsored this week. Where is he based out of? |
| 5:21
| Maybe Neil could take Drew to lunch with the gift certificate. Last fall Drew told Neil they should go out to lunch but they he made Neil pay for it. |
| 5:23
| The Clippers are in town tonight to play the Bulls at 7:30. What the hell happened in Memphis on Saturday? |
| 5:24
| The Grizzlies have the worst record in the NBA and their franchise is in disarray but the Bulls got what was coming to them based on how poorly they'd played in the previous two wins. |
| 5:25
| Scott Skiles knew that the team was getting a little too comfortable knowing they were a lock for the playoffs. |
| 5:26
| If the playoffs started today the Bulls would be the fifth seed. They could maybe move up to be the third seed by the end of the season. |
| 5:27
| Neil thinks that there are three really good teams in the East, Detroit, Cleveland and the Bulls. Obviously you'd like to avoid those two teams until at least he Conference Finals. |
| 5:28
| The Bulls can beat Toronto in a best of 7 first round series and then you move on to the second round. |
| 5:29
| Unless something odd happens the Bulls should finish 11-3 which means they could move up to a third seed. |
| 5:30
| Steve doesn't know what to do with new sponsor stuff when he gets it at noon and there's no one here to record a new intro. |
| 5:31
| John doesn't even get here until 5:00 and when he does arrive he walks around a lot spitting into a cup. |
| 5:36
| You can hear Neil Funk's rage about not being sponsored this week. If Steve were him he'd ask for something. He should at least get a free haircut or something. |
| 5:37
| Song: Almost Cut My Hair, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young |
| 5:42
| Buzz was digging that song. Buzz has been teaching Piper that police officers are called pigs. That one's going to come back to haunt him, just like the Fisher-Price stripper pole. |

| 5:45
| How about a mailbag? Steve was trying to get through his 1200 emails that had stacked up. He's back to August right now. |
| 5:46
| Buzz just got a forward from Steve from an old friend who was going to be in town. Of course that was back in August but Steve still thought he should see it. |
| 5:47
| Steve is down to 300 from 1200 so he's making progress. He'd like to do the mailbag segment more often though. |
| 5:48
| Yesterday at the beginning of the show Steve and Buzz were talking about Sinbad and his Wikipedia entry. Then Steve's Wikipedia entry was changed to say that he had died, then it was changed again to say he was alive. It was perfect for Lent. |
| 5:49
| Ultimately Steve and Buzz decided that Sinbad couldn't be classified as a comedian. However this emailer goes to bat for Sinbad. |
| 5:50
| Who steps up for Sinbad? Not even Sinbad would do that. The emailer feels that some of SInbad's stuff from his 15 year old HBO comedy special was "screamingly funny" and that Steve should tread a little more lightly on him. Steve will get right on that. |
| 5:51
| The next email is one Steve got today and forwarded to Pete. Steve feels this is a hot lead for Pete. |
| 5:52
| Back in October this girl wanted Steve to sponsor her in a charity run but he didn't see it until now. Steve decided to ask her how it was and she emailed back that she had a thing for Pete. |
| 5:53
| Buzz has a look on his face wondering why she ha a thing for Pete when he's next on the flow chart. Piper is mesmerized by Pete though but she's a little young for him. |
| 5:54
| The girl is a substitute teacher originally from Iowa and wanted Steve to forward some photos along to Pete. That's how the headline is going to read after they find her body in the cornfield "Substitute Teacher from Iowa..." |
| 5:55
| Pete will be following up on this lead. She's female, she's sending photos and she thinks Pete is a kind soul. It can only go down from here. |
| 5:56
| Pete's not so bad otherwise Steve wouldn't have forwarded it to him. Steve doesn't need to be testifying in court about how Pete seemed weird but he never thought he would cook and eat a girl's leg. As soon as we found out about Pete's taste for human flesh we asked him to leave. But with Human Resources you can't just get rid of someone, there's a whole process. Drew is very timid about corporate law too so he would have run it by legal to see if it's OK for employees to eat listeners. |
| 5:58
| The final email is an open invite to Thailand to Steve. You might recall that yesterday Steve said he wants to go to Japan with his friend Shu. Thailand seems like a viable option though. |
| 6:04
| Buzz and Aimee aren't teaching the age gap at home to Piper. She talks about Pete a lot but Buzz and Aimee just deny his existence. |
| 6:05
| News with Buzz |
| 6:06
| Steve said he was ready for Buzz but he doesn't have the audio yet. Jim was probably putting the finishing touches on the audio and wanted his Broadcast News moment, although he didn't take it. |
| 6:07
| The more Bush lies the more the Texas accent starts coming out. |
| 6:08
| Harriet Miers, Alberto Gonzales and Karl Rove will testify in front of Congress but not under oath. That's a great way for them to lie. |
| 6:09
| This U.S. Attorney thing is just a red herring to take our minds off of Iraq. The Democrats are making a big deal out of the firing of 8 U.S. Attorneys when they should be making a big deal out of the war. |
| 6:10
| A dog name Gandalf found missing Boy Scout Michael Auberry this morning. That seems appropriate since Gandalf was a character in Lord of the Rings. |
| 6:13
| Steve's favorite part of this pet food recall thing is that the company rounded up 50 dogs and cats to test the food and 7 more animals died. Where was PETA when that was going on? |
| 6:14
| Steve knows someone who's cat died recently and she has the tainted pet food but what else can you do? It'll probably cost a lot to have an autopsy done and then you can get in a Class Action lawsuit but the only people that make money with those are the lawyers. |
| 6:20
| Buzz is going to be a trailblazer and say Ralph, not Rafe, Fiennes. Steve's only heard Rafe. |
| 6:21
| The flight attendant who admitted to joining the mile high club with the actor also admitted she was a prostitute in Australia. So what? She gave him a freebie. Plus she went back to his hotel after the flight landed. |
| 6:28
| Steve's already sick of this Heather Mills/Dancing With the Stars thing. |

| Has Buzz seen that Hillary Clinton video on YouTube? Someone took the Apple Computers 1984 commercial and inserted video of Hillary in there. |
| 6:30
| People keep asking Barack Obama if he's behind the commercial and he keeps saying he isn't. Why would he do it? The commercial isn't really that bad either. |
| 6:31
| It's obvious that the video was just made by some guy in his basement and Obama has nothing to do with it. Then everyone is going on about how it'll change the face of political campaigns. |
| 6:32
| It's just the Apple ad with Hillary's face on the video screen, spouting her rhetoric. |
| 6:33
| During last year's midterm elections newly elected Senator Jim Webb came from behind after his rival, Senator George Allen, called one of Webb's campaign staffers a "macaca". |
| 6:34
| This Hillary spot isn't a parody of the Apple ad, it is the Apple ad just with different video. |
| 6:35
| A Democratic consultant, Steve Jarding, says that this ad will have an impact but he's not sure how big. Anyone can say that. Steve could say that it's going to have a small impact, or maybe a big impact. |
| 6:36
| Hillary said that she's glad the video on YouTube is taking attention away from her other on the site, which features her singing the National Anthem. That's a professional politicians response right there. |
| 6:44
| The ad doesn't seem that impressive but maybe Barack Obama didn't understand at first that it's a really old ad. |
| 6:45
| This seems like a complete non-issue to Steve but apparently he's the only one. It's going to change everything. |
| 6:46
| That Karl Rove guy probably put it up there. It'll take everyone's mind off of Iraq and the Alberto Gonzales stuff. |
| 6:47
| Steve has the sports but is there anything to talk about really? The Clippers are at the Bulls, the Cubs lost and Lou Piniella has been asked more questions about Wood and Prior than anything else. |
| 6:48
| That Bob Uecker stalker showed up at a Cubs/Brewers game in Arizona. She just can't get enough of him. |
| 6:49
| If Steve were that woman he would have stood 500 feet from Uecker's car during the game. |
| 6:50
| Atlanta police are investigating a sexual assault at the home of former Falcons defensive end Patrick Kearney. Kearney is not a suspect. |
| 6:51
| The victim accepted a ride home from a bar with three men who took her to Kearney's home. There she passed out on a sofa and woke up in a bedroom to find a man assaulting her. |
| 6:52
| The woman escaped the house by telling the man that she was going to bring another friend into the bedroom. Well played. |
| 6:53
| The Bears acquired safety Adam Archuleta from the Washington Redskins. Lovie has been trying to get him since he came to Chicago 3 years ago. |
| 6:58
| Steve is supposed to be hearing a Perma Seal commercial but instead it's just dead air. |
| 6:59
| Buzz was just telling Steve a fascinating bathroom story. Buzz went into the bathroom during the break and Skynyrd walked in behind him with a brown paper bag. |
| 7:00
| Buzz went to the urinal and Skynyrd went to the stall. Then Buzz asked Skynyrd what he thought about the Garry Meier thing. Skynyrd sort of played dumb about it but he's probably the leak. |
| 7:01
| Then Buzz left but Skynyrd just kept talking and a guy from US99 walked in. |
