| How many Jiffy Lube's is there? Matt seems like he's been at a Jiffy Lube everyday, including today's appearance at the one in Park Ridge. |
| 2:02
| Steve's just about ready to begin another exciting broadcast. Pete's Music Snob Corner is about to kickoff in a few minutes. It sounded like Brendan said Pizza/Music Snob Corner but we're not having pizza. That's not too conducive to broadcasting. |
| 2:03
| Steve noticed that yesterday was haircut day for both himself and Matt. Matt couldn't believe how many people noticed his haircut today. That's probably because he no longer looks like a porn star. |
| 2:04
| Matt still has his Ditka Blu Blocker sunglasses. It's not really a dad's goal to have his son look like a porn star. |
| 2:05
| When Matt calls in from Jiffy Lube he really needs to bring something to the call. He needs to do something different. What if Adam took 100 singles and had people bobbing for them in a vat of oil? Or maybe he could replace someone's oil with maple syrup and see if they notice. |
| 2:06
| Matt always feels like he's calling just as Steve is about to do something else so he wants to keep it short and quick. Steve's always about to do something else because this is the big show. |
| 2:07
| Matt wasn't able to go down into the oil change pit for insurance purposes. Plus if you're waiting for your oil change you probably don't want some kid down there messing around. |
| 2:08
| Matt should tell someone at Jiffy Lube that his great uncle was a pioneer in the franchising of the company. |
| 2:09
| Steve's parents just went down to a big family reunion with his dad's brother down in Florida. This is the first time they've traveled since September 10th, 2001. Steve invited them down to Florida when he was there last month but they didn't come. |
| 2:10
| Where's Steve cut on all of this? He hasn't even got a thank you card or a nice note on the "From the Nonexistent Cubicle of Matt and Brendan" letterhead. |
| 2:12
| Pete's leaving the studio even though this is his segment. He was going to adjust something because he couldn't hear himself or Steve. |
| 2:13
| These adjustments should be made before the show, although Pete was drunk-dialed by Wendy Snyder. |
| 2:14
| We'll get John Valenta on it right away, he's sporting his WCKG Funhouse denim shirt. It's quite a look. |
| 2:15
| Steve had the best name for this place 6 or 7 years ago and that was The Package. They tried it half-heartedly for a while but then it went away and somehow became the intellectual property of CBS. |
| 2:16
| We should go back to being The Package, it works in Chicago at least. Right now we're still Free FM but occasionally Chicago's FM Talk Station is worked in, which also doesn't make sense. |
| 2:17
| Does it matter if you're on AM or FM with talk radio? It's not like FM is cool any more. How can it be cool with Eric & Kathy and Eddie & Jobo? |
| 2:18
| There was a time when the station was sort of the angry FM station when Tim Sabean was here. There have been so many management people over the years it's hard for Steve to keep track. It's a revolving door and Drew is in it right now. |
| 2:19
| Pete thinks WCKG is on the rise, at least according to all the rumors about Garry. Nothing has been finalized with him and one thing Steve knows is that closing the deal isn't a minor stumbling block. |
| 2:20
| Pete saw Drew last night as he was heading up to the office to change his tapes. Drew looked very harried and he wasn't sure if it was the result of tense negotiations. Drew always looks harried though, it's an attention-getting device. |
| 2:21
| Drew was up there to check if Steve left on his date yet. Pete wasn't sure if he should call it a date. It wasn't really a date, it was just him and his friend Shu at a Korean barbeque. Koreans taste delicious when barbequed. |
| 2:22
| What Drew was harried about is that there was a SNAFU with the limo. They couldn't have been more apologetic about it but the driver showed up at the restaurant instead of here. Steve ended up driving there himself even though Drew wanted to drive him. |
| 2:23
| Drew's one of those guys who's thinks you're going to get mad about the stuff that doesn't make you mad and he's surprised when you're mad about the other stuff. |
| 2:24
| Everyone in Steve's office made the proper arrangement but most limo reservations don't go through 10 different people like it does here. From now on Steve's going to simplify it and do the whole thing through his office. |
| 2:25
| At some point someone from My Chauffeur called the restaurant and demanded to pay for dinner. |
| 2:26
| Steve didn't go to the Admiral because he had his own car plus the food was very rich and he wasn't feeling up to it. You don't want to be getting a lap dance with an upset stomach. |
| 2:27
| Pete's phone is ringing but he doesn't recognize the number. Maybe it's that substitute teacher who thinks Pete is a gentle soul. She couldn't be more wrong about that. |
| 2:28
| Pete followed up on that lead but he hasn't heard back. Maybe she doesn't want Steve talking about it and he can do that. She seems very well-endowed based on the thumbnail photo Steve saw of her. They should call it a boobnail photo. |
| 2:29
| Steve doesn't want to mess Pete up the way Stan and Terry did with Ed Silha and Susan Carlson. She's actually friends with some of Pete's friends and they were trying to fix them up. Pete's not sure if he wants to date a big time celebrity. |
| 2:30
| She's only a traffic reporter on WGN. Pete always sees her in Susanna's column and he's not interested in going to the Green Tie Ball. If she wants to stay home and watch Grey's or October Road that would be fine. |
| 2:31
| Pete is finally warming to Men in Trees, the Anne Heche vehicle. It's on hiatus now for October Road. Men in Trees is basically Northern Exposure with a woman. It's nice up there for a weekend but Steve's more of an indoorsman. |
| 2:32
| Steve doesn't want to make fun of Ed too much because he hooked up his laptop to the two different monitors so now he has a huge desktop. |
| 2:33
| Pete noticed that Ed is selling a new Cubs shirt, but he's not sure if he should say what's on the shirt. What's with Pete today, he's Mr. Free Form? Steve didn't want to talk about the limo thing but Pete brought that up. Next he's going to say how Ed was taking photos of Mary in the shirt and her husband will hear it and kill Ed. |
| 2:34
| Pete saw Ed taking a ton of pictures of Mary but he'll only use one. He ends up taking a lot of photos of her on the live remotes. |
| 2:35
| Ed says the shirt is all locked up and trademarked. The shirt says "Out with the old, in with the Lou" and he has a website to sell it from. That phrase is a lot better than "In Dusty we Trusty" and that was all over the place. |
| 2:36
| Pete is really extending this segment. Steve doesn't mind though and Buzz definitely doesn't mind. He's back in the news room in a hammock taking a nap. |
| 2:37
| Steve doesn't believe in a Cubs curse, especially not one that comes from a goat. Also the goat was let in for one World Series game in 1945. It wasn't until the next day that the Cubs turned him away. |
| 2:38
| Ed's website is InWiththeLou.com. Steve would have been happy to sell them on Dahl.com though. |
| 2:39
| Pete now has his own Music Snob Corner section of Dahl.com although Steve had to trim it down last week. Initially it was going to be a list of every song that Pete puts on his CD every week. |
| 2:40
| Last week the photo on the page featured Pete leaning forward and thinking and it was sort of blurry around the edges. Now it's Pete a remote laughing but with his hand on his chin like he's thinking. Steve was probably doing a think piece that ended in a joke. |
| 2:41
| Today's song is by The Whigs. Today's tapes were all about Texas coming off the big South by Southwest festival. Steve only knows about that because he sent Norm Weiner an email and his auto response mentioned he was at South by Southwest and would be back Monday. |
| 2:42
| Song: Violet Furs, The Whigs |
| 2:46
| That's Whigs with an H like the political party. That was a good song and they were at South by Southwest which is where Norm Weiner was. He must have a lot of emails backed up because he hasn't gotten back to Steve yet. |
| 2:47
| Pete feels Norm is slowly catching up just like Steve. Steve is down to about 70 emails but those are going back to August. |
| 2:48
| If Pete and Buzz have a moment Steve would like to read something which he feels is unfair as a guy trying to answer a ton of emails. He doesn't want to do a mailbag though. |
| 2:49
| At some point after the Garry Meier thing over the summer Steve got a ton of emails and decided to give up. Then he went on vacation and they just kept piling up. |
| 2:50
| Steve got an email from a guy who's boss was at the South Side Irish parade. He was looking at the photos of his boss with Big Steve at Dahl.com and then he remembered his boss said that he took some pictures of a giant inflatable Roger Ebert. |
| 2:51
| The emailer is wondering if there's a way to make it so people know it's supposed to be Big Steve and not Roger Ebert. |
| 2:52
| Steve responded "I couldn't agree more, thanks." Then Steve got this response, "This most be the lamest response I could ever get. I know you're behind 1200 emails but wow that's really sticking it to the listeners. Try not to be a know-it-all jerk for the rest of your contracted career." |
| 2:53
| Then Steve responded "What else do you want me to say, I agree with what you said." Then Steve started wondering why he even bothers responding to these people. |
| 2:56
| Buzz was in transition during the Rocky & Bullwinkle drop so he can't tell which one Steve is impersonating. Steve watched that show a lot but it was on during Buzz's psychedelic period so he's not too familiar with it. |
| 2:57
| One of the old emails that Steve finally got around to was one for Buzz from his friend Jake La Botz. He was coming into town to do a gig and wanted Buzz to plug it but that was back in August. |
| 2:58
| Even without the email Buzz did plug the gig because he already knew about it. Buzz still sent him an email apologizing and got a response from Jake that he was in Thailand, playing a mercenary in Rambo IV. |
| 2:59
| Steve doesn't know what this emailer was so mad about. Steve doesn't have time to write a 5 page response to every person. There was something in the paper the other day about how people roll a little tougher on the internet because of the anonymity. |
| 3:00
| Some people just get a smiley face and SD for a response and they're happy with that. |
| 3:01
| Steve did go to the Korean barbeque last night and it was quite good. First you have some appetizers and then a dude brings out a glowing hibachi and some raw meat and you cook it on there. |
| 3:02
| Shu did explain to Steve that the restaurant served Japanese-style Korean barbeque. Apparently the Koreans eat a lot of things that the Japanese don't want to eat. |
| 3:03
| Steve made the analogy in his blog today-which Buzz no doubt read first thing today-that the Korean barbeque in Japan is sort of like Chinese restaurants in America. There are a lot of things the Chinese eat that Americans don't want to eat, like ducks feet. |
| 3:04
| Steve even tried to eat beef tongue although he didn't want to. It tasted pretty good but was chewy in a way that makes you want to gag. As a guy who makes a living with his tongue, plus his radio show, Steve doesn't feel good about eating tongue. |
| 3:05
| Just to show that Steve is a regular guy he parked on the street at the Korean barbeque and even though the meter was good until 9:00 he still put a quarter in. |
| 3:06
| The food was very rich and it gave Steve and upset tummy so he skipped the Admiral. it also seems much cooler when you're alone to roll up and pop out of a limo. |
| 3:07
| Steve also thought that if he went into the Admiral to tell the owner he wasn't going to be staying, he'd end up staying there. |
| 3:08
| Steve hasn't had a lot of fat in his diet lately and that Kobe beef is high in fat so his system wasn't ready for it. |
| 3:09
| Caller Tom seems to have been disconnected but he was going to say that kimchi is very good Korean food. Steve had some of that and it was good but the tongue is still in his system. |
| 3:10
| The limo company paid for dinner because of the SNAFU, but Shu didn't know how to handle that. This dinner was supposed to be paying Steve back for the Morton's dinner in Miami. |
| 3:11
| Ultimately Shu was impressed that someone was going through all this trouble to pay for the dinner. Now the new plan is for Shu to take Steve to dinner at a Japanese restaurant. |
| 3:12
| Steve also told Shu about his plans to become big in Japan. Shu said it's very doable, even if Steve only knows two words in Japanese. |
| 3:13
| Steve told Shu he's always wanted to go to Japan and said his two Japanese words and about the lessons he took. He stopped taking lessons because it was too difficult to learn and decided to go with the physical comedy. And with that he put his face in the hibachi and the place went nuts. |
| 3:17
| Steve thinks Buzz would like the Korean barbeque place. They could go together and then hit the Admiral. |
| 3:18
| It's better for Steve to go somewhere like the Admiral under the guise of a business meeting. |
| 3:19
| If Steve could figure out a way to broadcast from a high-profile place in Japan then he'd end up on Japanese TV and then he'd take off. |
| 3:20
| When Steve first came up with the Japanese thing he was at WMVP and a little down on his luck. Jim Belushi had just told him that he was paid $1 million to do a commercial over there, like Lost in Translation. |
| 3:21
| Steve figured that if Jim Belushi could make $1 million in Japan he should be able to as well. So he called the Berlitz School and then sent a little Japanese woman over to teach him. |
| 3:22
| After a few lessons the woman told Steve that he'd probably never learn to write in Japanese because the language has 10,000 characters. That's when Steve stopped the lessons. |
| 3:23
| Caller Jerry belongs to a rod and gun club outside of Plainfield. They just had a few Korean members join up and their great guys to hang out with. |
| 3:24
| However a few weeks ago, the guys pulled up in a nice Lexus with a roadkill coyote in the back. They asked for a blowtorch and then singed the hair off and cooked it. They didn't even gut the animal before they ate it. |
| 3:25
| Shu was alluding to the fact that there were a lot of Korean foods that he couldn't even talk about at dinner. |
| 3:26
| You can laugh about this but dog is a delicacy over there and coyote is just a bigger dog. |
| 3:31
| At least a coyote isn't someone's pet. It doesn't seem outrageous to eat a coyote if you just killed it on the way in. Why waste it? |
| 3:32
| Buzz is wondering why no one is serving wolf. Maybe it's too tough but it's not like people are serving coyote either. |
| 3:33
| Live read: Grizzly Jack's Resort |
| 3:34
| Steve has some breaking news, although he doesn't have a breaking news sound. Multiple stabbings are reported at Stroger Hospital. The good news if you were stabbed is you're already at a hospital. |
| 3:35
| Caller Vince thinks Steve should go to Japan under the guise of training Patrick Bertoletti to beat that Kobayashi. |
| 3:36
| Steve doesn't really need a guise to go to Japan. Plus he doesn't want to risk Patrick getting really big over there. He's got that crazy look that they'd probably love. |
| 3:37
| Vince has worked in the Prudential Building at one of those Japanese import/export places. In the U.S. they have those charts that section off all the meat cuts on a cow. The Japanese chart further sections off the cuts and features anus. Steve's had enough of this call, although he will be sure to look out for that. |
| 3:38
| That kind of cow is called Angus, there's a G in there. If you're missing the G it's something totally difference. Steve's going to put Vince back on. |
| 3:39
| Steve is wondering what Vince does for a living. He was going to guess electrician which would be correct. He seems like a nosey electrician. |
| 3:40
| Vince has electrician written all over him. Electricians have their own feel, as do plumbers and painters. They're repainting the floors of the parking garage in the building and someone mistakenly chose pastels. |
| 3:41
| The new owners of the building have made a lot of weird changes around here, probably so they can charge wrong. There was no reason to change the carpet in the elevator banks in the lobby but now it looks like you're in a movie theater. |
| 3:42
| Caller Patra lived in Hong Kong and the two most difficult things about all the Asian countries are the food and the language. |
| 3:43
| Since Asian languages are symbol-based you don't really have a reference point. They eat a lot of weird things in Hong Kong but you can go over the boarder and get even weirder stuff. |
| 3:44
| Steve was hesitant to take this call but it turned out alright. |
| 3:45
| Patra was in Hong Kong for two years working in corporate communications. Even though she was in Hong Kong they still spoke English because that's how it is in their corporate culture. |
| 3:46
| Buzz's daughter is subject to mandatory Chinese lessons in kindergarten because someone feels that China will be a major U.S. economic partner in the future. Buzz likes hearing her speak Chinese but he feels it's misguided. |
| 3:47
| Steve could make a fortune if he became big in China but he's not interested in going there. He doesn't like bicycles and they seem to have a girl shortage. |
| 3:55
| Does Steve have to say who everyone in the Comcast intro is? It seems like something you'd want to know before you hear it but how do we do that? |
| 3:56
| On the phone from Comcast Sportsnet is Dan Jiggetts. Buzz just saw Dan's daughter doing some reporting on NBC. She is something else. |
| 3:57
| Dan's youngest is about to embark on a career as a film producer. He's hoping she'll be able to take care of dear old dad when he gets broken down. |
| 3:58
| Steve has talked to Dan about his daughter Laura and her gig at channel 5 but Buzz strobes out of these sports conversations. |
| 3:59
| Steve would like to see SIU win because it's a local angle, although the school is pretty far away. Bill Self, the Jayhawks coach, didn't exactly endear himself to people around here either. |
| 4:00
| No wonder the players don't have any ethics any more, the coaches don't either. A coach can recruit a player and then he can get a job at another school and the player is stuck there. |
| 4:01
| Dan really hopes that Tank Johnson can get his act together. Hopefully the prosecutors don't throw anything else at him. Steve feels Dan will agree with Buzz's theory about Tank. |
| 4:02
| If the Bears had won the Super Bowl the prosecutors wouldn't have pursued jail time for him. Dan thinks he would have had to win, cover the spread and maybe have a few sacks. |
| 4:03
| Hopefully Tank comes out of prison with a new attitude and maybe he picks his friends better than he did before. |
| 4:04
| Maybe Dan should be giving lectures up at Halas Hall to the whole team. Then Steve and Buzz can follow with their condom lecture. |
| 4:05
| The Bulls take on Denver tonight and the Nuggets have been playing really well lately. |
| 4:06
| Right now Comcast is covering the Cubs/Padres game. Mark Prior had a rough first inning but he's settled down and he's going after hitters now. |
| 4:07
| Steve is not a fan of those new Spring Training hats with the different colored stripe over the ear. It looks like everyone has one of those Bluetooth headsets on. |
| 4:08
| Dan wants to get Steve back over to Comcast, but he has a show to do. Buzz won't cover for him either, he's too busy. |
| 4:13
| That Rex Grossman needs to shut the hell up. Steve doesn't want to hear what he did wrong and what he would have done different. He already knows all that since he watched the game in the upper deck in the rain in his $600 seat. |
| 4:14
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:15
| Elizabeth Edwards has suffered a cancer relapse but her husband John Edwards has announced it will not change his plans to seek the Democratic nomination for president. |
| 4:16
| Steve hates to interrupt the headlines, especially with the cancer story, but Matt Dahl is on the phone. |
| 4:17
| Matt is at the Jiffy Lube in Park Ridge on Higgins. He's actually right across from a Hooters. Remember when Steve took the boys to Hooters in Florida and Pat Dahl ordered 50 wings, all drumsticks. |
| 4:18
| Astronaut Lisa Nowak was formerly arraigned in Florida for attempted kidnapping. She was unable to attend the hearing |
| 4:19
| Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has announced he will not be resigning his post. Steve enjoyed him using kids as human shields. He said he still has a lot of work to do to protect the children. He's like a short, fat, Hispanic Wally Phillips. |
| 4:20
| Steve says "human shield" metaphorically but Blago actually uses his daughter as a human shield when the press is applying some heat to him. Dusty Baker used to do that with Little Dusty. |
| 4:21
| Steve has a little of Alberto Gonzales talking about protecting the children. This is the first time he's invoked the k-word as Attorney General. |
| 4:24
| Buzz doesn't have an update on the Stroger stabbings. Apparently a suspect in custody was there visiting a skin clinic. Why are they letting this guy visit a skin clinic? |
| 4:31
| Earlier today Steve was talking about his visit to the Japanese-style Korean barbeque. Apparently Japanese people don't like a lot of things that Koreans eat. |
| 4:32
| Then a guy called in how said a few members of his rod and gun club are Korean and cooked up some coyote, innards and all. Then Buzz wondered why they don't serve wolf and Steve said it's probably because there are no wolves around here. |
| 4:33
| Apparently there are wolves in the area, plus Minnesota and Wisconsin where they were taken off the endangered species list. Those Hmong people live up in Minnesota and Wisconsin, they probably eat really crazy stuff. |
| 4:34
| So does this mean you can shoot and eat wolves? Buzz wouldn't want to eat a wolf just because he wouldn't want to eat a dog. |
| 4:35
| Steve could be enticed to eat one if it was deliciously prepared. |
| 4:36
| You can shoot and kill a wolf if it's attacking someone or your animal. The people around Steve say there are no wolves in the area but Steve sees them all the time. |
| 4:37
| Song: Hungry Like the Wolf, Duran Duran |
| 4:41
| That was a big set up just to play Hungry Like the Wolf but Steve thinks he did it alright. |
| 4:46
| Time for a mailbag. In the past few days Steve's been feeding the mailbag intro to the podcast but he's been meaning to stop.
|
| 4:47
| Steve owns the mailbag theme but he doesn't own the prize wheel theme and Tyrone's music. |
| 4:48
| Steve does own Buzz's voicemail from when he had jury duty which he could feed to the podcast. That could make a lot of money as a ringtone. |
| 4:49
| The first email is a two-parter about Al Gore and global warming, which Steve was discussing yesterday. He doesn't want to get into a Republican or Democrat point-of-view because Steve doesn't have a point of view. |
| 4:50
| This guy says that Al Gore wants people's money which is the real reason he's talking about global warming. Steve read all of this guy's stuff about global warming because he's open-minded but didn't learn anything. |
| 4:51
| Then the guy says that he's a long time, off and on listener. Why did Steve waste all that time if the guy doesn't even listen all the time? From now on he's checking the end of the letter if it's really long and full of stuff he doesn't really want to read. |
| 4:52
| Just to get an idea of what kind of person this is, he says stuff like "global warming is the new religion of the liberal left." He also says that Ben Gay is getting a little old. |
| 4:53
| The guys who get the most uncomfortable with the gay stuff are usually the guys who are hanging out and the forest preserve waiting for another car to pull in. |
| 4:54
| Steve responded that maybe Ben makes this guy uncomfortable and that global warming seems a little more complicated. Apparently the guy is actually gay and is offended by Ben Gay. |
| 4:55
| The emailer says that the Ben Gay voice is little more than a lisp and some same sex innuendo. In who's endo? |
| 4:56
| Steve forwarded this next email to Mike Dahl. The woman is a suburbanite through and through but will be having lunch with her nephew and his girlfriend and is looking for a bar in the Wrigleyville area to watch the NCAA games. |
| 4:57
| Steve doesn't know a bar to recommend but it seems like any bar up there will be showing the game. Steve's knows he's doing the lady from Tinley Park voice here which is more like Wally Phillips. |
| 4:58
| Brendan is recommending some places on Lincoln but Chef Hans is also recommending some other place in the background. |
| 4:59
| Hopefully old ladies won't start emailing Steve that his old lady voice is offensive and too easy. |
| 5:00
| The other day Buzz mentioned that he worked at a radio station with a woman who called herself Mother Ramone. None of the Ramones were brothers though. |
| 5:01
| Someone sent Steve an obituary for Joey Ramone's mom who died at age 88. Based on the photo Buzz thinks that could be the same woman. |
| 5:06
| Buzz is missing but Chef Hans is here. Buzz's timing has been off today, what's he doing? Is his printer not working or is he trying to get free tickets? |
| 5:07
| All day Buzz has been coming in later than he normally does. Apparently he was doing it yesterday but Steve was too distracted to notice. |
| 5:08
| Buzz went back to check his mail and then ran into Stan and started talking to him. Most of the breaks are about 4 minutes long today are we going to have to put a leash on Buzz? |
| 5:09
| While Buzz was talking to Stan it occurred to him that in the entire sales area he couldn't hear the show. Apparently it's too distracting to them but they should be listening to it. |
| 5:10
| Buzz thinks that he's been on time today because he passes Mary leaving the studio as every break ends. Mary can confirm or deny that but she doesn't want to get in the middle of it. |
| 5:11
| If there's something distracting Buzz Steve would like to get to the bottom of it. Jim's not down there showing him his new underpants is he? Or is Dan dropping names on him, talking to Greg Maddux while he's pitching. |
| 5:12
| Buzz thinks that he's been on time today but that Steve is just now remembering yesterday's tardiness. |
| 5:13
| Steve has one last email from all the way back in August. Some guy points Steve to a Steve Dahl dream on CelebrityDreams.com. Even though a guy sent the email Steve was still hoping a girl was dreaming about him or something. |
| 5:14
| The dream isn't a sex dream and it's actually from the guy who emailed Steve. In the dream he's driving to Steve's house in some exclusive neighborhood. In the backseat of his car is the best slab of ribs that Steve has commissioned to bring to his home. This is really creepy. |
| 5:15
| As the guy is driving he's listening to the radio and talking to Steve, who's giving him tips to navigate the maze of streets to his house. And that's it. Couldn't the guy at least be dreaming about Steve having sex with this wife? |
| 5:16
| Chef Hans has a story to tell. He's been in the kitchen for 50 years and today there was a wedding in the dining room. Hans wanted to say hello to Todd and Lisa Klairten. What is this, B96? Hans can't be doing these shoutouts every week. He's never seen a wedding in any restaurant in all his time. |
| 5:17
| They're still eating at the restaurant which means they can't even hear this so it's a total waste. Maybe we'll send them a CD like with Patrick Bertoletti. He's always waiting around after his interview for a CD, Steve didn't know we did that sort of thing. |
| 5:18
| Does Hans have the authority to marry people like a ship's captain? He was going to call Steve to officiate the ceremony but they had their own reverend. |
| 5:19
| Hans feels very bad about the Tony LaRussa DUI. He's a very nice man and whenever he comes in he just sits in a corner eating a vegetable plate. Next time he might want to try some protein in that diet. |
| 5:20
| Police in Jupiter, Florida arrested Tony LaRussa early this morning after they found him asleep at the wheel of a running car at a stoplight. |
| 5:21
| LaRussa told the arresting officer that he wasn't drunk, which is the right answer. |
| 5:22
| Upon Tony's release he was given back the four league championship rings in his possession. Why did he have those with him? Was he wearing them around? |
| 5:23
| It's not a bad mugshot of Tony LaRussa considering the cops found him asleep at the wheel of his car. |
| 5:24
| Buzz would like to think that Tony was wearing all four rings. Maybe he likes to wear them when he's out drinking. |
| 5:30
| Steve doesn't want to make fun of Tony LaRussa any more because he can't listen Hans say that he's a class act. |
| 5:31
| Hans heard that LaRussa was going to suspend himself because of this incident. He didn't hear it from LaRussa though, it was on ESPN. |
| 5:32
| It's not that bad, he didn't kill anyone and he only blew a .09. It still seems like the wind has been taken out of Hans' sails here. |
| 5:33
| In this day and age if you have money like Tony LaRussa you really need to arrange for a driver if you're out drinking. |
| 5:34
| Hans can recover from all this and move on to Meat Talk. Right now he's thinking about his trip to Taipei. |
| 5:35
| Hans is going there to give a demonstration on how to cook meat the Sherwood Hotel. He'll be back just in time for the Escoffier Dinner. |
| 5:36
| Steve's not sure he can make that because he doesn't have a tuxedo. The event has actually sold out because Steve will be there. That translate to an appearance fee for Steve. |
| 5:37
| The first Meat Talk email is about the upcoming Summer grilling season. How far in advance can you buy steaks to grill? Hans recommends only a day unless you're going to get them vacuum packed. |
| 5:38
| The next emailer's wife came home with some boneless chicken thighs. That's none of our business. What's the best way to prepare them though? |
| 5:39
| Hans recommends a marinade of salt, pepper, olive oil, and some teriyaki. This emails is from today so the guy is sitting at home waiting for his answer. |
| 5:40
| The final email is about the Pittsburgh style preparation of steak. That's usually black and blue. Basically you sear each side for ten seconds and then serve it. It's basically sushi. |
| 5:41
| The name comes from Pittsburgh steel workers because that style of preparation was their favorite food. |
| 5:42
| When Hans comes back from Taipei Steve will have his tux and they'll go to the dinner. Hans is going to try and send some digital photos to Steve and he'll say hi to Hopsing if he sees him. |
| 5:45
| Matt Dahl is on the phone from the JIffy Lube in Park Ridge. Matt missed him at 5:15 but he enjoyed listening to Meat Talk. Chef Hans was just inconsolable about Tony LaRussa. |
| 5:46
| Maybe LaRussa's car just needed an oil change. |
| 5:47
| Steve had to remind Shu last night that he might have to trade in his Lance Briggs jersey. He knows all about the situation because he's a hardcore Bears fan. |
| 5:48
| Matt heard that Steve had some tongue last night. Even now he can feel that tongue licking the inside of his stomach. |
| 5:49
| Steve also has a sore on his tongue, probably from eating tongue. His own tongue is acting up on him! |

| 5:51
| When Mary drives in everyday she sees a digital sign for Jab Real Estate. At first she thought it was a boxing school because there's a glove on the sign. |
| 5:52
| Today she was stopped right in front of that place and saw it was a real estate place and that David Hochberg was doing a live remote from one of their properties. |
| 5:53
| It's good to know David is out doing the remotes, that's what the people want. They want to meet the soft, flabby, loan brokers. |
| 5:54
| David will be out at Paulina Courts at 4609 N. Paulina this weekend. They're selling condos starting at the $180s. Mike Dahl should check this place out. |
| 5:55
| Buzz wasn't aware of David Hochberg doing live remotes. It has the feel of a Jeff Schwartz bad idea all over it. |
| 5:56
| Steve thinks he's really good at radio and even he would have a hard time doing even an hour remote from a property. |
| 5:57
| Steve's not sure why he's doing any ad for this place unless he's getting one of the condos. |
| 5:58
| David Hochberg's on the phone right now. What up Hochy?! Did Jeff call David and tell him to call in? That has the feel of his bit killing. |
| 5:59
| One of David's sponsors is selling this apartment conversion so he's doing a live remote from 1:00-3:00. They'll be giving away all sort of stuff and there will be hot dogs. |
| 6:00
| Steve was going to call Jeff but instead he'll call Drew to find out if he got that Garry Meier deal done yet. |
| 6:01
| Drew can't comment on that yet. Does he get any more air time though? Drew is so pathetic, he'll do anything to stay on the air. |
| 6:02
| Buzz doesn't understand why this is taking so long. If it gets done or the deal sinks it still shouldn't take this long. |
| 6:03
| Steve has some time to call Jeff too. He owes him an apology for not showing up at the Admiral. |
| 6:04
| Jeff listened to the show today and he totally understands what Steve was saying. You shouldn't have a lap dance on an empty stomach. |
| 6:05
| Now Jeff is padding just like Drew. Everyone pads to stay on the air longer. Jeff points out that he's taller than Drew. Everyone is taller than Drew though. |
| 6:06
| The live remote on Sunday is all David, Jeff had nothing to do with that. He does have some other things planned for him though. |
| 6:07
| Now back to Drew. Did he get that Garry Meier deal done yet? He did get a live remote scheduled for David Hochberg. |
| 6:11
| During that break Buzz went completely berserk about CBS owing him money for a broken computer. |
| 6:12
| Buzz had a computer that was damaged in the flood during the WBBM-AM construction. Now Drew is coming back in the studio. He needs to go work on the Garry Meier deal. |
| 6:13
| Buzz will be taking CBS to small claims court. He should also sue the people who own the building as well as the construction company. He'll probably get paid three times just to make it stop. |
| 6:14
| Garry Meier is probably getting the money for Buzz's computer. Everyone hold on to your wallets. Steve doesn't even bring his to work any more. |
| 6:15
| Buzz is developing his own legal strategy for this. All he has to do is file a claim and then everyone will get served with papers. |
| 6:16
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 6:17
| David from The Little Guys is on the phone. Steve had a question about the new Apple iTV. It hasn't shipped yet and The Little Guys aren't selling it. |
| 6:18
| David is pretty sure that he and Steve are used to a higher picture quality than the iTV is going to provide. Steve doesn't really care if it's in HD, the computer is just where he keeps all his homemade porn, like the one with him and a muffin, a filthy, filthy muffin. |
| 6:19
| Right now Sony days is going on. It's the end of Sony's fiscal year and they just want sales numbers from the store. |
| 6:20
| Sony has the Blu-Ray player as well. Steve has one of those and it's really hard to show people the difference between regular DVD and HD. The other problem is it seems like the audio isn't that great on a lot of the DVDs. |
| 6:21
| Steve has The Departed on Blu-Ray and it registers at 5.1 surround but it sounds like it's only 3.1. It looks great but then Steve starts fixating on the sound and he's standing up on the couch to make sure there's sound coming from the back speakers. |
| 6:27
| According to Mark Czerniec Apple began shipping the iTV this week to fill pre-orders. David doesn't like a lot of that stuff and he can't blame him. If you're in that business you don't want to be messing with computers. |
| 6:28
| David was even hesitant with that Slingbox thing, he said it wasn't perfected at first. Steve has one and it's fantastic. He was using it in Florida to watch Chicago TV stations. |
| 6:29
| Buzz's TiVo crashed last night and he just realized he hasn't done anything about it. He unplugged it and then plugged it back in and it's still broken. |
| 6:30
| News with Buzz |
| 6:31
| John Edwards wife has suffered a remission of her cancer but that will not stop him from running for president. |
| 6:32
| Embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will not be resigning, instead focusing on the job of protecting kids. That's not his job unless he's a school bus driver. |
| 6:33
| Autopsy results on Anna Nicole Smith's body will be released Monday by the Broward County coroner's office. Dr. Perper did rule out an accidental suicide. |
| 6:34
| Hamsters are free once again to race in Albuquerque, thank God. |
| 6:35
| A New York couple is suing an upscale fertility clinic for using the wrong sperm. If they have upscale clinics, what is a non-upscale clinic? Just a turkey baster and a cooler? |
| 6:37
| That Chicago police officer is getting national publicity for the bar beating. CNN couldn't stop showing the video because Anderson Cooper had an interview with the girl. |
| 6:38
| Steve's not taking the cops side but in the video you can see him going around to the end of the bar and getting in her face and then she pushes him. |
| 6:39
| In those situations it's probably a good idea to just tell the guy you're impressed with the gun show he's putting on. |
| 6:47
| How about some spuertos? The NCAA tournament resumes tonight. |
| 6:49
| The Cubs lost to the Padres in a 1-0 rain shortened game. Mark Prior gave up one run and struck out three, which is pretty good. |
| 6:51
| Activist Ralph Nader has written a letter to LeBron James asking him to use his star status to improve labor conditions in Nike shoe factories. He'll probably get right on that. |
| 6:52
| Tom Brady's girlfriend Giselle Bundchen has denied being pregnant with the QBs baby. Buzz is very disappointed because he loved that whole story. |
| 6:59
| Last night during the Bulls game Skynyrd was feeding Neil and Bill information. Neil sounded very bitter about it and said Skynyrd didn't know anything. It almost sounded like Steve and Buzz. |
