| Matt is really working hard between the daily show, the weekend shows and the Jiffy Lube appearances. He still has a few papers to write as well. |
| 2:02
| Matt's on Spring Break but he has a few things to catch up on. Nothing he can't handle though, he's got the whole weekend to do it. |
| 2:03
| Steve thought he heard a promo saying that Matt and Brendan were doing a live remote but it was actual for John Grachowski, the Casino Answer Man. |
| 2:04
| John's a nice guy but shouldn't we be airing promos for O & A or something? He only gets promos because he's friends with Dan. They might have a sponsor too. |
| 2:05
| According to Pete they're doing a show at the Horseshoe which means the station is probably making money which is fine. |
| 2:06
| Dan must think that John is the next Steve Dahl. In Vegas, Dan kept trying to arrange outings for John and the boys. He wanted them all to go to the Hard Rock, but Dan wasn't going with them. He prefers to sit in his hotel room drunk-dialing Mark Grace. |
| 2:07
| Today's Jiffy Lube appearance is in Elk Grove. It's right near Steve's taco place. Matt liked the tacos but he and Pat were mocking Steve for trying to order in Spanish. |
| 2:08
| Steve just had some really bad fish tacos on a tout from Stan Lawrence. He called the office to tell Tina it was fish taco day in the cafeteria. Right there it sounds bad. |
| 2:09
| The fish tacos had yellow cheese on them which is a bad sign. Only Taco Bell puts yellow cheese on tacos. Tina was supposed to bring them up here for a comedic bit but they're in the office. |
| 2:10
| The cafeteria is in the Aon Building which is where Dan and Drew go and marvel at the foods from different parts of the world. |
| 2:11
| It was nice of Stan to think of Steve but that cafeteria should be ashamed of itself. Steve knows what a real fish taco is because he used to eat them on the Baja Peninsula in Mexico and they were sold by people on the roadside. |
| 2:12
| Baja Fresh is no day at the beach either and their location across the street is closed. Once they put oregano on the fish taco instead of cilantro and wouldn't even cop to it. |
| 2:13
| Steve likes to explore every avenue because you never know when you're going to find a good taco. He would have never thought a great taco place would be right near Elk Grove so maybe the Aon cafeteria has good fish tacos? |
| 2:16
| Song: Coconut Telegraph, Jimmy Buffett |
| 2:20
| There's a dude named J Akuhead Papuli that was on the radio in Hawaii for years. That wasn't his real name, just a radio name. His news was always on the coconut wireless and Steve's pretty sure he has that jingle somewhere. |
| 2:21
| Pete is looking for it now. It's a little long but we have a lot of time to kill. Steve could edit it down and by that he means Pete will edit it down. |
| 2:22
| Steve doesn't mean to sound ungrateful about Stan's fish taco tout. They probably don't have a lot of fish taco places in the black community. |
| 2:23
| Buzz isn't familiar with the cafeteria in the Aon Building which is not surprising. He probably knows where it is since he takes the underground tunnel to the gym. |
| 2:24
| Buzz has been in that cafeteria once but he left immediately. There's way too much stuff there, it's like the Epcot Center in the Aon Building. Steve can't make that many choices. |
| 2:25
| Still though, you never know when you're going to find a great fish taco so you have to take those chances. For all Steve knew there was a guy from Baja who works there and every Friday they let him do his thing. |
| 2:26
| Now Steve will have to go on a fish taco quest for the surrounding area. Even the Baja Fresh fish taco wasn't that good. He's not sure if all the Baja Fresh restaurants have been shut down but the one across the street should have been after the oregano incident. |
| 2:27
| Stan is in the studio and he has a mouthful of something. He's eating Laffy Taffy right now. Is it also Laffy Taffy day in the cafeteria? |
| 2:28
| They do actually have a special fish taco guy at the cafeteria and Stan never gets it with yellow cheese. Stan also gets the chipotle sauce and the guacamole because that's the way the guy prepares it. Tina knew yellow cheese was wrong but she didn't say anything about it. |
| 2:29
| Steve likes saying fish taco so Stan has wandered right into his wheelhouse. Steve's very hesitant to say he wants to embark on a quest for great fish tacos because Frijole Joe will probably get involved. |
| 2:30
| Is Steve going to need different employees to get him different foods? Does he need to hire a Mexican girl to get him fish tacos? |
| 2:31
| A real fish taco is on a corn tortilla with fish that can be fried or grilled. Steve doesn't really know what kind of fish they use but it should be white. |
| 2:32
| When Steve was a kid they fried the fish in lard but it wasn't breaded. The grilled fish is very popular in California now because it's healthier. Then you top it with the cabbage with some sort of vinegar dressing. |
| 2:33
| If you're going to experiment at all with fish tacos, if you'll pardon the expression, you want to do it with the vinegar-based slaw. That's where you can put some pepper or some onions or whatever. |
| 2:34
| Steve doesn't really care what goes on the fish taco but it falls squarely on Tina's lap to not get the yellow cheese on there. |
| 2:35
| It's surprising that Stan doesn't weigh more because he's one of those guys who doesn't miss a meal. He has breakfast, then a snack, then lunch, then a snack, then dinner. He does workout but not a lot and he's always chasing Terry around too. |
| 2:40
| Stan is sticking around for Fish Taco Talk. Steve's not a fish taco expert but he has had the real deal. |
| 2:41
| Steve's a fish taco aficionado. Stan wishes he could find a good one because his favorite taco place doesn't serve them. They serve fish but not in taco form. |
| 2:42
| Fish tacos are very regionalized. They were brought to the U.S. by California surfers from Baja. |
| 2:43
| We need to interrupt Fish Taco Talk for some Anna Nicole Smith talk. Steve had to just dump something Stan did. We don't say that stuff on this show. Didn't Bill Cosby tell him not to work blue? He's been hanging out with Terry too much. |
| 2:44
| According to the National Enquirer Anna Nicole died with excessive of amounts of chloral hydrate, which is used for insomnia. |
| 2:45
| Steve would like to find the full report that the National Enquirer and Star Magazine did but he's got a lot going on right now. There's a link to the National Enquirer site but there's nothing there. |
| 2:46
| Stan is wondering if the article covers the baby as well. This is one of those things that Stan does that Steve doesn't like. How would Steve know about the baby if he can't even get to the article? |
| 2:47
| Stan and Terry's schtick is to just ask each other questions for three hours to pass the time but we don't do that here. |
| 2:48
| Caller Joan is a big fan, but Steve won't ask her how big. She knows a little bit about chloral hydrate, that's what they used when you were "slipped a Mickey" and she's surprised Buzz doesn't know that. |
| 2:49
| Joan is also surprised Buzz doesn't know about coconut wireless. That's not on the table right now, nor are the fish tacos. |
| 2:50
| Janet Dahl is on the phone and she's the one who sent the story to Mark. She read the whole thing so she can thumbnail it for Steve. |
| 2:51
| Anna Nicole had an intravenous injection in her bottom and the needle was dirty so she developed an abscess. Even with an abscess there's a lot to love with Anna Nicole. |
| 2:52
| Anna Nicole was resisting treatment so she was given Cipro. She had a high fever and she couldn't sleep so they gave her the chloral hydrate. Apparently the combination of the infection, the Cipro and the chloral hydrate caused her death. |
| 2:53
| What happened to hafallutin New York Times Janet? She always calls Steve a luddite for not wanting to read the paper but he will start if the National Enquirer counts as a paper. |
| 2:54
| Now that Buzz knows this it seems like her death was totally unnecessary. If Steve and Buzz would have been with her they would have taken her right to the hospital. She can't have an abscess on her butt, that's her moneymaker. |
| 2:55
| Now Steve wants to know what she was shot up with in the butt. There's something very hot about a girl getting an injection there, that's his uvula. |
| 2:59
| Steve still can't get on the National Enquirer website but Mark sent him an archived copy of it which he has to find. |
| 3:00
| Steve has too much going on right now to look for Mark's email, he should just sent it to Mary to print it. |
| 3:01
| Steve's wondering if Anna Nicole was injected with some kind of drug just before she had sex. |
| 3:02
| Anna Nicole had an injection in her left buttock 3 days before she died but the autopsy didn't reveal what it was. |
| 3:03
| Sometimes they inject vitamins in your butt so it could have been B12. As she was boarding the plane from the Bahamas to Florida she developed a painful abscess |
| 3:04
| The abscess kept getting larger and larger and Anna Nicole had no idea her blood was being poisoned. At what point was this knucklehead Howard Stern going to take her to the hospital? |
| 3:05
| Steve and Buzz should go down there and beat that guy up and then maybe get some gambling in. |
| 3:06
| The other night they were showing Skyscraper on TV. Buzz never realized it was basically just porn. Softcore, but still porn. |
| 3:07
| Anna's people put her in an ice bath to control the fever and administer the antibiotics. |
| 3:08
| As the infection took over she began vomiting, had severe diarrhea and could not urinate. And yet, no one too her to the hospital. |
| 3:09
| Buzz wants charges brought against Howard Stern. Maybe negligent homicide or depraved indifference. |
| 3:10
| Kudos to Dr. Perper for keeping the wraps on the whole abscess on the butt thing. Obviously when he did the autopsy he saw something wasn't right but didn't say anything about it. |
| 3:15
| A lot of people don't go to the hospital when they're supposed to but Steve and Buzz would have picked up her up and dragged her there. It's a two man job and Steve would have given Buzz the butt end, he doesn't want to be anywhere near that abscess. |
| 3:16
| Stan points out that Steve would still have to put Anna Nicole in the car. This whole bit is over though, if Stan wants to start up a new one that's fine. |
| 3:17
| Steve just did a great bit about carrying her to the car and then Stan has to inject some reality into it. He's a bit killer. |
| 3:18
| Steve just sees himself and Buzz carrying her into the hospital, he doesn't care about putting her in the car. |
| 3:19
| Then they drop her off and go get some Shorty's BBQ, maybe come back and check on her later. |
| 3:20
| Steve is at the cross roads of Infection Talk and Fish Taco Talk. It seems to Buzz like there isn't much to say about infections. There's just one guy who says his wife had the same problem as Anna Nicole. |
| 3:21
| Steve assumes the wife is still alive, so Buzz would like to know how he saved her life where Howard Stern failed. In Buzz's house if someone says you're going to the hospital, you go. Of course it's usually Buzz being told to go to the hospital, but he goes. |
| 3:22
| Caller Dave's wife had a similar infection on the inside of her thigh last summer. It wasn't from a dirty needle though, something that just develops sometimes with women. That doesn't sound the same to Steve. |
| 3:23
| Dave is giving Steve way too much information. He's glad his wife is OK but he doesn't need to hear all that. |
| 3:24
| Buzz doesn't think that Infection Talk is for Steve. He doesn't like to hear about people's procedures. |
| 3:25
| Last night Steve was forced to watch Grey's Anatomy, which is a contemptible show, and he doesn't like seeing all that medical stuff. He doesn't even like knowing that people have blood. He doesn't need to hear about some guy's wife getting a chunk taken out of her thigh. |
| 3:26
| From here on out Steve only wants to talk about girls who get drugs injected into their butt before they have sex. Even if you didn't like the injection still call in. |
| 3:27
| Now that Stan knows Steve's specs for a fish taco he thinks he can wire up a nice one for him. Steve would rather find a place around here that has his preferences as the factory settings. |
| 3:28
| Steve isn't getting any calls about girls who like pre-sex injections in the butt though. He's trying to Google it and he can't find anything. It's just like Steve to be into something that no one else is into. |
| 3:29
| Steve and Buzz won't be here next Friday so no fish taco then. The week after is Good Friday so that's probably the last fish taco day in the cafeteria. By then the ocean's could have dried up from global warming so there won't even be fish. |
| 3:30
| Next Friday Steve and Buzz will be broadcasting from the Bears Fan Convention. Last year they didn't even have any food put out until 5:00 and then Dan and Drew just sat there wolfing down all the pork chops. |
| 3:31
| Caller Sarah has been listening since she was in high school. Her and her husband were trying to have a baby and she had to take fertility drugs via injection. |
| 3:32
| For some reason it was a huge turn on to get the injection. Is Sarah's husband still in the picture? |
| 3:33
| Buzz can't believe Steve got a call about this. She's a mother of three too! Steve thought he was a man alone here but then along comes Sarah. |
| 3:34
| Sarah's husband wasn't turned on by it, it was just her thing. Steve doesn't want to get an injection he just wants to give one so that works out perfectly. |
| 3:39
| The fact that Anna Nicole died from negligence is intolerable to Buzz. It's not even her negligence, there were three people with her who could have taken her to the hospital. |
| 3:40
| Song: Baby Got Back, Sir Mix-a-Lot |
| 3:44
| The Anna Nicole thing was already a tragedy and now Steve and Buzz have the image of her damaged buttock to cope with. |
| 3:50
| On the phone is Comcast Sportsnet's Chuck Garfein. Chuck's a longtime listener but a first-time caller. |
| 3:51
| Chuck grew up listening to Steve and is also a Sox fan. He couldn't understand why a Sox game had been forfeited because of Disco Demolition. Steve looks at it like he's 0-1 as a White Sock or 1-0 as a Tiger. |
| 3:52
| Chuck just came back from a Bulls practice. Scott Skiles actually canceled practice and they just watched filmstrips.What kind of movies do they watch, stuff like Hoosiers? |
| 3:53
| Chuck saw Luol Deng leaving practice the other day with a stack of DVDs and thought maybe he was watching movies, but it was just game tapes. Chuck's wondering what Steve's favorite sports movie is. It's probably Field of Dreams, especially that "want to have a catch" scene at the end. |
| 3:54
| SIU almost won last night which is too bad because Steve doesn't like Bill Self. He doesn't like what he did to U of I and he's sick of seeing his wife on TV all the time. |
| 3:55
| Chuck only wanted to Kansas to win because he has them winning everything in his NCAA pool. Chuck also likes his Trojans chances for tonight against UNC. |
| 3:56
| Chuck went to USC which is not a bad choice to make. Steve still has all of his college eligibility left so he'll probably end up at either USC or UCLA. UCLA is in a nicer area, what with USC being right in Compton. |
| 3:57
| If you really want to go to school in Southern California you should go to either Pepperdine or or UC Santa Barbara. |
| 3:58
| Right now Chuck is watching the Sox game and Denks is on the mound. It seems like he's going to get the starting job, nothing against Gavin Floyd though. Steve can't believe that's all we got for Freddy Garcia. |
| 3:59
| The most coveted person in the Garcia trade was Geo Gonzales. He was traded from the Sox to Philly in the Jim Thome trade but they managed to get him back. |
| 4:00
| The other day he was listening to some music in the locker room and Chuck asked him what he was listening to. He said it was techno and some oldies music, but by oldies he meant stuff from the 80s. That made Chuck feel really old. |
| 4:01
| In fairness to the Cubs fans, Steve should probably ask what they're doing. Right now they're playing the Giants. |
| 4:02
| Chuck saw Prior pitch yesterday and he looked really good so maybe he's back but who knows for sure. He still can't believe we're talking about Wood and Prior though. |
| 4:10
| Pete saw the Comcast promo with Steve and Buzz on TV this morning and it looked really good. That's the one Mike Dahl and his boss came in to do. |
| 4:11
| Mike was worried that Steve's hair didn't look good but he doesn't care about that stuff. |
| 4:12
| Steve would still like to get a video uplink in the studio so he could be on Comcast whenever he wants. They cost about $7,000 and he's not sure who's going to pay for it. It seems like a good way to promote the station though. |
| 4:13
| Steve calls Drew to see how the Garry Meier deal is going but he's not there so he leaves a message. |
| 4:14
| Maybe Steve should call back because Drew needs to leave a message for him. Of course Drew picks up the phone. |
| 4:15
| Drew hasn't gotten the deal done yet. Buzz was calling about his computer but Drew just dropped it off in the office. Buzz is still taking CBS, the building and the construction company to small claims court. Steve has really broadened his legal horizons. |
| 4:16
| Drew hasn't gotten the deal done yet which means it's been an entire week since he first told Steve about it. Steve's money is on it not happening. Isn't Drew Garry's friend? |
| 4:17
| Buzz keeps asking what Garry's bargaining power is. Drew needs to set a date for the negotiations to be over but he doesn't have the nads for that. |
| 4:18
| If it were Steve he would get a deal done as quickly as possible for the shortest amount of time possible. Then when he got ratings he'd stick it to them, that's the bargaining power. Or you could get signed to a long-term deal in case you're not confident you'll get ratings. You can't do both though. |
| 4:19
| Steve's been trying to get information from Drew but he's been clamming up on this topic. Normally he's quite the talker though. |
| 4:20
| Steve only reads about the progress in the paper, although he's not sure who's leaking the info. Steve hopes it gets done though because it would be interesting. |
| 4:21
| Matt Dahl is supposed to call in shortly but he hasn't yet. Before we get to the headlines, Steve has a song that he feels is very apropos to what has been discussed today. |
| 4:22
| Song: Walk Away, James Gang |
| 4:26
| Matt Dahl is on the phone for his last stop on the Jiffy Lube tour. Today he's in Elk Grover. |
| 4:27
| Is Matt going to take Adam to Steve's taco place for some tacos asada? Matt might hit that, and by that he means the taco place not Adam. |
| 4:28
| Steve wouldn't care if he was talking about Adam, just as long as he's happy. Adam doesn't seem like Matt's type though plus Brendan would get jealous. He's already starting to tear up out there. |
| 4:29
| Matt's really working hard because that's what they do in the Dahl family. They get on the air and they work hard. |
| 4:33
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 4:35
| Steve has the Coconut Wireless theme for Buzz's headlines. |
| 4:37
| This is the long version of Coconut Wireless. |
| 4:38
| That could be a nice thing to use for the news on Aloha Friday. Somewhere Steve has a shorter loop of it. |
| 4:39
| How are we coming on that Blue Monday rejoin music? Buzz thinks it'll be ready by Monday. |
| 4:40
| Steve is watching the Sox game and he can't tell where they're playing but it's raining and it's cold there. Why would anyone sit in the rain to watch a Spring Training game? |
| 4:41
| Caller Frank sounds really down. Is it the Anna Nicole/infected booty thing? Frank thinks that the Rockies and the Sox share the same facility. Steve thought they shared it with the Diamondbacks. |
| 4:42
| Frank thinks Steve might be right. He doesn't want to get off the phone until Frank feels better though. Even though it's raining here, it's also raining in Arizona. Is that enough? |
| 4:43
| Caller Julie's dogs are barking, God knows what's going on. The Rockies play in Tucson but at a different facility. |
| 4:44
| Steve needs to make another phone call. Buzz is wondering if he's checking up on the Garry Meier deal. That is what he's doing Mr. Punchline Robber. |
| 4:45
| The great thing about Drew is he can't not answer the phone, the thought of being on the air is too tantalizing for him. |
| 4:46
| Drew's actually on the phone right now, probably wrapping up the Garry deal. Hopefully he'll call back when it's all done. |
| 4:49
| Brant MIller was showing off some great owl pictures. Steve accidentally got behind in his TV viewing and was watching the new Jeff Goldblum show, which is really good, but was so far behind that he couldn't watch the ABC news. As a result he was forced to watch the NBC news. At least Bob Sirott was on. |
| 4:50
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:51
| The controversial war funding bill with a time table for a pull out from Iraq has passed in the House but Bush has vowed to veto it. |
| 4:52
| Rat poison is now being blamed for the death of the pets from the recalled pet food. That seems like a big mistake. |
| 4:53
| Mel Gibson was delivering a talk at a California university when he was accused by a professor of racially profiling Mayans and only portraying them as blood thirsty. |
| 4:54
| That caused Mel to go off on a profanity-laced tirade against the female professor. It sounds like he's back on the sauce but hopefully he didn't call her the big one. |
| 4:55
| From Great Britain, reports of the first ever internet suicide. A man hung himself after being egged on by fellow users in a chat room. The whole thing was captured on a webcam. |
| 4:56
| Is that on YouTube? Buzz is wondering if Steve got the link to that YouTube video of the rednecks in the truck chasing the guy in the Porsche. |
| 4:57
| Steve has seen the video and the car is a Mercedes, not a Porsche. Also, he doesn't know how to break this to Buzz, but it seems fake. The rednecks are wearing suspenders and they don't seem that dumb. |
| 4:58
| Buzz isn't too familiar with YouTube so he isn't able to recognize when something is fake. There's a lot of fake stuff on there, like the girl who gets a car for her Sweet Sixteen and then gets mad that it's the wrong color. |
| 5:04
| On the phone is Tom Dore, voice of the Chicago Rush. Steve has a Rush jersey with his name on it and the number 1. |
| 5:05
| Steve doesn't think he's speedy enough to be a number 1, he might need to be something in the 90s. |
| 5:06
| The Rush have a game tomorrow in Columbus against the Destroyers. It's hard to tell at this point who's good and who's not. The Rush are 2-1 and have done really well defensively in those wins. |
| 5:07
| Steve almost came out to a game on Sunday but no one invited him or gave him tickets. The audio sounded much better this week, the distortion was fixed. |
| 5:08
| They had a substitute engineer for the first game but Tom can't remember his name. It's probably the same guy who stood up Ed Farmer and Chris Singleton a few weeks ago. |
| 5:09
| Tom doesn't know when the Rush have their next home game but he has a lot going on. He also does Bulls games on occasion. |
| 5:10
| Tom is wondering how long it takes Steve and Buzz to build the ratings back up once Neil Funk is on. To Steve Tom seems like the ratings killer since it sounds like he has lost the will to live. |
| 5:11
| As it turns out Neil doesn't really want to talk about basketball which helps. He usually wants to talk about sex. |
| 5:12
| The next home game is April 1st against the LA Avengers. If Steve comes out he'd like to be in one of the luxury boxes but he'll pay for it. He'd also like to come down and say hi to Tom and Big Cat. |
| 5:13
| Tom mentioned to Big Cat that he and Steve were talking about him on the air last week. Tom told him that he needs to start being nicer to people and Big Cat said that he's big enough that he doesn't have to be nice. He's still anxious to atone for the time he met Steve at the Bears game. |
| 5:15
| Tom's going to need to dial it up a bit if we're going to talk to him every week. He only dialed it up when Steve made him mad. |
| 5:16
| Buzz likes Tom's laidback attitude but that's because a.) he likes to see Steve suffer and b.) likes to see Steve lob a Molotov cocktail at someone. |
| 5:21
| Matt Dahl is calling in from the Jiffy Lube in Elk Grove Village. This will probably their last call for a while but it's been going really well. |
| 5:22
| Matt still hasn't gotten his oil change yet, according to his sticker he's not due. He might as well get it done while he's there, new oil won't hurt the car or anything. |
| 5:23
| The last oil change was after Matt almost totaled the car. Sadly they were able to repair it. |
| 5:24
| Matt is getting paid for these appearances but so far Steve hasn't seen any money. Plus he's the one doing all the work on the calls! |
| 5:25
| Steve calls Drew again but there's no progress on the Garry Meier deal. He is here after 5:00 though. He should make the deadline 5:30 today. |
| 5:26
| It's after 5:00 which means it's time to welcome in the weekend with some booghie wooghie music. Tell you're boss to shove it, you don't need a contract! |
| 5:27
| Steve's not kidding about Tom Dore dialing it up a bit. At the very least he's going to need to have a schedule in front of him when he calls in. He's just walking around in his underpants. |
| 5:28
| And then to attack Neil Funk like that! Neil brings it every time and a lot of what he brings isn't even about basketball. |
| 5:29
| If you want to get right down to it, Steve thinks Tom is ashamed to be an Arena announcer but he shouldn't be. Arena is an up-and-coming sport, it's sanctioned by the NFL and they've even got a display at the Football Hall of Fame. |
| 5:30
| Is Steve going to have to supplant Tom with Coach because he will. Coach is always a good time on a Friday afternoon. |
| 5:31
| Did we get an update from Tina as to who is leading in the NCAA office pool? |
| 5:32
| Kerry Wood threw a scoreless inning today but the Cubs are losing 6-2. A whole inning! |
| 5:33
| Apparently Tina brought in an update of the office pool but she buried it under 10 sheets of paper. Steve's not Yuri Gellar here! He doesn't have x-ray vision like Superman. |
| 5:34
| Ed Farmer is also on the phone but Steve can't talk to any more sports guys. Tom Dore has ruined it for everyone! Steve thought Ed was supposed to call in on Tuesdays but apparently not. |
| 5:35
| Maybe we should talk to Ed Farmer, he'll liven things up. Ed couldn't call in on Tuesday because the Sox had a game. Ed wants to know why Steve is talking to Tom Dore though. |
| 5:36
| Did Tom Dore ever help Steve coach a Little League team? Did he ever hold Steve back when he wanted to go beat up a player's dad? |
| 5:37
| The Sox game was rain shortened today, but Steve still doesn't understand why people were sitting in the rain watching it. There's really nothing else to do in Tucson though. |
| 5:38
| Ed is passing by Steve's favorite fast food restaurant, Jack in the Box. Is Ed going to stop for a monster taco? |
| 5:39
| Steve will not be at opening day because he has to work. They might to a broadcast from The Cell at some point though. |
| 5:40
| Steve won't be at opening day but his seats won't be empty. He will be at the Friday game but that's a 7:11 start, sponsored by 7-11. |
| 5:41
| Ed is trying to get Rolex to sponsor the part of the post-game where he says how long the game was. |
| 5:42
| Ed thinks Denks will be the fifth starter, he pitched really well today. On the other hand Floyd gave up a grand slam. That's not good when you're trying to make the rotation. |
| 5:43
| Steve saw that the Phillies put Freddy Garcia on the DL with a bicep problem. He's still mad about that trade but hopefully that Denks guy will make him forget about it. |
| 5:44
| The Sox do have a really good team this year. The last time Ed said that was before the 2005 season. |
| 5:45
| Brian Anderson should make the team and Darin Erstad is really good. Plus Podsednik is healthy. The Sox have a great offense. |
| 5:47
| How about that Tony LaRussa? Ed's done that before but never in an intersection. |
| 5:48
| The cops didn't come over until he'd slept through 2 green lights. Buzz couldn't believe he fell asleep with his foot on the brake pedal. |
| 5:49
| It really warmed Steve heart to hear Ed say that the Sox have a good team this year. |
| 5:50
| We're also working on getting a Cubs guy for the show. Steve would prefer a broadcaster but WGN doesn't like to share. He could always go with Ronnie Woo Woo. Buzz Woo! Probably not, Steve's already crabby enough. Steve Woo! Dahl Woo! Cubs Woo! |

| Alright back to the sports. Should we do it with the music? Buzz likes the music so Steve will do it with the music. |
| 6:00
| Steve stopped the sports because he couldn't find the bracket update. Then he found it and was more mad that he wasn't winning. At least Ron isn't winning though. |
| 6:01
| Freddy Garcia may start the season on the disabled list with a sore bicep. You'll recall that when Steve flew down to Miami for the Super Bowl Freddy was on his flight and they did a lot of arm wrestling. Hopefully Steve didn't cause the injury. |
| 6:02
| Sunday afternoon's Bulls game in Indiana will not be televised. How can that be? Brendan thinks it's because there's a national game on ABC. |
| 6:06
| Nuevos Rancheros with Buzz |
| 6:07
| Rat poison is believed to be the cause of the death of several pets who ate Menu Foods-produced pet food. Steve likes how the company is acting like it's no big deal. They don't even have a representative going on TV or anything. |
| 6:10
| A combination of sleeping pills and antibiotics are believed to be the cause of death for Anna Nicole Smith. |
| 6:11
| We also learned that she had an abscess on her left buttock and that Steve likes to think about her getting an injection in her butt. |
| 6:12
| Prince Frederick went to a lab today to give a sample to prove that Dannielynn Smith is his child. Zee Dixie Cup is in zee mail. |
| 6:13
| Steve's looking at a picture of Prince Frederick and he does not look unlike Chef Hans. He's sort of a cross between Hans and George Hamilton. |
| 6:14
| Steve's getting a phone call but he's not sure who it is. It might be his brother Rick, who got a new phone. |
| 6:15
| Steve called Rick last night because it's the one year anniversary of his sobriety. He needed a new phone because he was hooked into a lot of online overseas pharmacies that were calling him 8 or 9 times a day asking him if he needed anything. |
| 6:16
| It's an 818 number so it's either Rick or someone calling about the Disco Demolition movie. Steve actually has several projects making the rounds in Hollywood including a reality TV show that he can't talk about right now. |
| 6:17
| Doesn't anyone have a tape of Mel Gibson's profanity-laced tirade? Someone must have started up their cellphone. |

| The great nephew of Harry Houdini wants his body exhumed to determined if he was murdered. |
| 6:19
| The nephew believes that Houdini was killed by a group of spiritualists who Harry claimed couldn't actually talked to the dead. |
| 6:20
| An author who wrote a book about Houdini also claims that Harry received several death threats from spiritualists before he died. |
| 6:25
| Caller Jake was reading on CNN.com the other day about the exhumation of Houdini. |
| 6:26
| Around the time Houdini died Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was a spiritualist, wrote a letter to some fellow spiritualists saying Houdini would be getting his comeuppance. |
| 6:27
| Alright, put Steve down for interested in this whole thing. Harry Houdini is sort of a household name but Steve doesn't really know what he did. |
| 6:28
| It's sort of interesting that a group of famous people might have been responsible for his death though. |

| In the 1920s, Harry Houdini turned his energy towards debunking so-called psychics and spiritualists. |
| 6:39
| This conquest cost Houdini the friendship of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle believed Houdini was a powerful spiritualist and used those powers to perform his tricks and block the powers of other spiritualists. |
| 6:40
| Buzz has heard that Doyle had a drug problem. You'd hope so. It sounds like he had too many drugs. |
| 6:41
| Two authors outlined a letter from Doyle to fellow spiritualists saying Houdini would get his "just desserts". |
| 6:42
| The authors noted that the spiritualists underworld's MO was poisoning, sometimes arsenic. They also mention the injection of an experimental serum into Houdini by one of his doctors. Was it into his ass? Would that be a turn on? |
| 6:43
| Steve can't remember what movie he saw that featured a girl getting an injection into her ass. It's something about people in the desert in the Palm Springs area. It might have the word desert in the title. |

| Caller Carol told her husband about the movie Steve described. He's 99% sure it's something called White Sands with Willem Dafoe. That movie does sound pretty familiar to Steve but he'll have to check out the synopsis. |
| 6:49
| Steve has seen White Sands and it's a good one but that's not the one he's talking about. It was also pretty freaky though. |
| 6:50
| Caller Tom thinks the movie might be La Luna with Jill Clayburgh. That one sounds a little too old but if there's syringed-play Steve might be interested. |
| 6:51
| Another person said it was Less Than Zero but they hung up. Steve knows that one and it's not the movie but he has seen it. |
| 6:52
| That movie is about Malibu and features Robert Downey Jr., who's own life eclipsed that of his character's in the movie. Like that one time when the cops found him with a bag of blow and a woman in a Wonder Woman costume. |
| 6:58
| Caller Frank sounds like he's calling from a rocket ship. He thinks that Steve is talking about a movie called 52 Pick-Up with Eric Roberts and Ann-Margaret At the end he injections her with some heroin in the butt and then takes advantage of her. |
| 6:59
| That's not the movie either but it sounds interesting. Steve doesn't know what to Google to find the movie, he just put in "Palm Springs shot in the butt" and got a lot of weird stuff back. |
| 7:00
| Is there anything promising on hold or should we call it a week? Brendan says that someone called in saying it could be the movie Rush, with Jason Patric. |
| 7:01
| Steve would like to leave here with the title of this movie but once he sees it again it probably won't be the same. |
| 7:02
| Caller Tino thinks the movie is called Desert Heat. The girl who got an injection in her butt wasn't a big actress, it may have been Shannon Tweed. |
| 7:03
| Steve can't find a synopsis on IMDB.com for the movie. Is there a blond girl in it? |
| 7:04
| Can we keep going or is there a Bulls game? Does Buzz mind staying? |
| 7:05
| Caller Ken thinks the movie is called Sahara Heat and it's got a bunch of actors that no one has ever heard of. |
| 7:06
| According to IMBb that movie is about going to Morocco. They didn't go to Morocco in this movie, it was Palm Springs. |
| 7:07
| There's someone else calling in to say it's 2 Days in the Valley. C'mon people! Steve knows that movie. |
| 7:08
| We'll have to pick this up Monday, or maybe not. |
