| 2:01
| Stan and Terry are taking the next two days off which seems like bad timing to Steve. It'll be replaced with the Best of Stan & Terry. Is there enough of that? |
| 2:02
| Next week Matt and Brendan start their new time slot from 7:00-9:00 which means Matt will be able to go to school. |
| 2:03
| Steve somehow wandered into Matt's Sun-Times interview. There's some guy taking photos of him while he's talking. |
| 2:04
| What's the article about, how much of a jerk Steve is? It's actually about famous Chicagoans and their kids. So it'll be Steve and Michael Jordan? |
| 2:05
| Stan and Terry were supposed to be off next week but then the line-up changed. Stan is one of those vacation guys so he needs time off or he won't be happy. |
| 2:06
| Was Garry on Matt's show today because it seems like he's been on every other show. Everyone has met Garry as well because Drew keeps giving him tours of the station. |
| 2:07
| Matt shouldn't get caught up in all of this though, Steve will save it for Buzz. |
| 2:08
| Steve got a lot of emails from people who were upset that Matt was being replaced but he's not, he's just moving to nights. That's a better time for Matt and Brendan because they're kids and they can do kid things. |
| 2:09
| A night show also means the boys can line up some girls for after the show. They should probably have the girls meet them at a club and not in the lobby. Although with the internet the boys should know exactly what they're getting into. Everyone has a webcam now. |
| 2:10
| Then Matt and Brendan will end up on To Catch a Predator bringing some Taco Bell to an underage girl. |
| 2:11
| Steve just heard some hip-hop song that mentioned Taco Bell. It's some Fergie song and according to Brendan that's product placement. A lot of companies are trying to get their products mentioned in songs. Then there are companies like Cristal that don't want their products mentioned. |
| 2:12
| Steve understands the Cristal thing since the people who are listening to hip-hop are young and probably can't afford it. Matt Dahl had it once but he split a bottle with Mike and two other people. If Steve were the president of that company that's not something he'd want to hear. |
| 2:14
| Song: Back in the High Life Again, Steve Winwood |
| 2:17
| That was a very moving and sentimental tribute by a guy who just three hours ago was trying to avoid Drew and Garry Meier. |
| 2:18
| When Pete came in today he saw Drew and Garry and wanted to go in the other direction. It's not like he didn't want to meet him it was just awkward. |
| 2:19
| Drew's been parading Garry around all day. It's like on Rome when they wanted to bring Cleopatra back to Rome. |
| 2:20
| Pete doesn't know Garry, the first time he met him was outside the bathroom where Drew had to let him in. Where they both buckling their pants up? Did Pete hear Drew say anything like "I'm going to get in the paper bag now!" |
| 2:21
| Steve's glad that Garry is here but he feels like it's better to back into something than to make a big deal. Now there's a lot of pressure on Garry for Monday. Drew is a big orchestrater though and that rarely works out in radio. |
| 2:22
| It's better to let things happen naturally in radio, like yesterday when Drew made the announcement that the deal was done. |
| 2:23
| Drew keeps trying to get Steve on O & A's show. They should be on Steve's show. |
| 2:24
| Steve has no reason to want Garry's show to fail. His sidekick, Jim Turano, did write some negative things about the state of Chicago radio in the Illinois Entertainer but that was last summer. Buzz doesn't know Jim Turano but he recognizes the name. Maybe he's thinking of Turano bread? |
| 2:25
| Turano wrote in his article last summer that Chicago radio is too reliant on veteran talents with the same act they've been doing for years. He better be funny on Monday. |
| 2:26
| Steve feels he's changed his act up over the years. The other guys mentioned were Kev and Johnny B. They definitely haven't changed their act. Kev isn't even on the air here any more. |
| 2:27
| The only way to stay on the air for 30 years is to change your act up. |
| 2:28
| Steve and Buzz have the longest time slot of the line-up but that's the best way. Having the most real estate makes you the most valuable, just ask that Sam Zell guy. Buzz might balk at the length of the show after the 4th hour but it's for the best. |
| 2:29
| Buzz feels really good about the new line-up. Steve fully expects Matt and Brendan to have different girls lined up after every show they do. |
| 2:30
| It'll be good to have O & A on live and then Garry starts at 8:00 which is still the morning drive. |
| 2:31
| Plus if things don't work they could always reunite Steve and Garry in the morning with Buzz doing the news. That will cost a lot of money and that's just for Steve. Who knows what Buzz and Garry will want. |
| 2:32
| It's only Wednesday though and there's already a lot of build-up. Drew can't help himself though, he's like a yenta. |
| 2:33
| Steve did say in his blog, which comes from the heart, that this new line up is something to build on for the future. |
| 2:34
| No one will ever give Steve credit for the 5:00 PM deadline though. You have to have a deadline and Drew is incapable of making one. He's deadline challenged. |
| 2:35
| Steve thought Pete's montage was very thoughtful though. Is Pete here today? Steve keeps saying things and Pete's not responding. |
| 2:36
| Pete is here but he thought all of Steve's statements towards him were rhetorical. In radio you should respond to everything, even the rhetorical statements. |
| 2:39
| Yesterday Steve was going to say that Garry Meier was the Lance Briggs of radio if the 5:00 PM deadline passed without a deal. Bruce Wolf said it this morning though but there are people on the staff who know Steve was going to say it. |
| 2:40
| With the exception of O & A the rest of the station is a spin-off of or has a connection to Steve. O & A do say that Steve influenced them over Howard Stern. |
| 2:41
| Stan and Terry got their start on Steve's show. Stan's roots go back to the 80s. Then there's Matt and Brendan and obviously Garry. Glenn Beck is an alcoholic too so there's his connection to Steve. |
| 2:42
| Someone is going to have to keep everyone in check around here though and it'll have to be Steve. Drew can't help himself, he and Garry are walking around here changing their outfits every 45 minutes. |
| 2:43
| Drew can probably relax a little bit though. Garry must have signed at least a one year contract. Steve would have only signed for one year and then stuck it to management after he caught on. |
| 2:44
| Steve's very proud of Matt and Brendan too. He doesn't know how long Brendan has been on with him but Matt's been coming in on Saturdays for 4 years. |
| 2:45
| Pat and Mike keep hassling Matt that he hasn't paid his dues but coming in at 5:00 AM every Saturday seems like paying your dues to Steve. |
| 2:46
| Matt Dahl is in the studio. B-dog has been doing the show with him for 2 1/2 years. Before that Matt's partner was Seeds but he had trouble staying awake during the show. |
| 2:47
| That almost sounds like a Steve Dahl bit. Steve just laid newspapers down on the ground to cover the dirty carpet, then he would bring the microphone down to where he's laying. |
| 2:48
| Matt initially had a problem getting to work on time for the 6:00 AM show. Then Steve had a sit down dinner with him at Trader Joe's. Steve didn't need someone from the station calling him on a Saturday morning because Matt was late. |
| 2:49
| When Steve did a morning show he would have the guy on before him call and wake him up. The guy before Matt proved to be unreliable though because he spent a lot of time sleeping in the conference room. |
| 2:50
| Steve did have a suggestion for Matt and Brendan though. They should have music behind their Hollywood report. Matt actually does have music but he also has sound effects and runs them off two separate programs so it gets complicated. Steve knows all too well about that. |
| 2:51
| The night time slot is where you can really do some crazy stuff. When Kev first came to Chicago he was on at night and it was great. |
| 2:52
| Matt's glad to have Uncle Garry on the station. He could probably drop the uncle since there hasn't been any uncling going on for a while. |
| 2:57
| When Steve was talking about Pete meeting Garry Meier he said it happened twice, but we only heard about the first time. |
| 2:58
| The first time Pete was coming down from the office with his tapes and at the end of the hallway Drew was letting Garry into the bathroom. Pete walks around with those tapes like he's just been date raped. |
| 2:59
| Was Drew giving Garry a tour of the bathrooms or something? He showed him urinal 1 and urinal 2 and stall 1 and stall 2. Of course stall 2 is the handicapped stall which Drew prefers so he calls it stall 1. Urinal 2 is the higher one which Drew also prefers because it's taller. |
| 3:00
| After that meeting Pete went into his studio and put his stuff away then took off his hat and coat. That left him totally naked, as he's want to do, or wont to do as Pete said yesterday. |
| 3:01
| Pete feels that both want and wont are acceptable. Steve has only heard want. Are we going to file this under the Dan Falato hyperbole/hyperbowl argument? |
| 3:02
| Just so Pete knows, he's right. Steve looked it up and he thinks there's a a long O and short O sound but he can't tell because the type is too small. Mark Czerniec confirms it, he's like our Merriam-Webster. |
| 3:03
| After Pete put his stuff away he went down to get some water and then talk to Jim about the days goings on. He can't talk to Buzz because it's not 2 minutes after 2 when he gets in. |
| 3:04
| As they were discussing Lance Briggs or the Cubs starting rotation Pete heard Drew and Garry on the tour. Drew was showing off the station's longest hallway which is over 250. |
| 3:05
| When Pete heard Drew and Garry he sort of scooched into the corner to hide. It's like Michael Scott hiding from Andy on The Office. |
| 3:06
| Pete thought Drew had already come through and introduced Garry to Jim but he hadn't. So Drew and Garry came into the office and talked to Jim and then Garry shook Pete's hand again, apparently not remembering him from only three minutes earlier. |
| 3:07
| Did Drew show Garry the engineers room? It looks like a DeVry classroom. Then on to John Valenta's office with the closed door. He gets 8 months of vacation every year. |
| 3:08
| Then they grabbed Dan and went off to lunch at Quizno's. Or maybe it he sprung for Panda Express because it's a special occasion. |
| 3:11
| Drew came down during the break to defend himself but he arrived too late. He did not go out to lunch with Garry because he was giving a tour to a friend of Steve's and her son. |
| 3:12
| Drew does give a great tour because he loves to talk. There will be plenty of time for Drew, Dan and Garry to go out to lunch though. |
| 3:13
| Rod Zimmerman told Steve that he should go out to lunch with Garry but it doesn't seem necessary. |
| 3:14
| Steve really only cares what happens on the air, he doesn't need to get lunch. Steve likes lunch though, he's having a great turkey pastrami sandwich right now. |
| 3:15
| Steve took a My Chauffeur limo in today because his car is in the shop. For some reason his car thinks the tailgate is open so periodically it makes a warning sound or a light goes on on the dash or both. |
| 3:16
| As it turns out, Steve might like being driven in to work everyday. It gave him a chance to really appreciate the city and he got to call Jeff Schwartz as well. |
| 3:17
| If there were some strippers in the car that wouldn't be so bad either, just as long as the invoice for the ride isn't itemized. |
| 3:18
| Buzz is driven to work everyday either by Aimee or a cab, he loves it. |
| 3:19
| The driver turned the radio on and told Steve he wouldn't like what he would hear, it was B96. That's where Steve heard the Fergie song where she talks about Taco Bell and says "I still go through the Taco Bell drive-thru raw as hell." If you're Taco Bell is raw you should take it back. |
| 3:20
| If the song was on B96 Piper probably knows all the lyrics. He should call her and tell her to tune in and listen to her dad. |
| 3:21
| Song: Glamorous, Fergie |
| 3:24
| Buzz said that only Piper knows the words to that song but he was in the studio dancing and singing. It's a good thing we had that pole installed, he really knows how to work that thing. |
| 3:25
| Steve teases Buzz about buying Piper a Fisher-Price stripper pole but Drew actually had a portable stripper pole in his office. |
| 3:30
| Caller Dan wanted to let Steve know that "raw as hell" means you're drunk. |
| 3:31
| Now that Garry is at WCKG Steve wants to steal Cliff. Is Buzz afraid that Cliff will take away his prize wheel duties? |
| 3:34
| No whenever Buzz is on stage with Muddy or Little Junior he can tell them "I'm raw as hell!" |
| 3:35
| Buzz rarely gets raw as hell any more and when he does he rushes home, he doesn't stop at Taco Bell. |
| 3:41
| Steve can't feed all of the audio to the podcast because some of it falls under digital copyright laws. He does own the mailbag theme and feels bad depriving podcast listeners of it. |
| 3:42
| Usually the podcast listeners just hear Steve humming along to the mailbag theme. It's probably entertaining for them but not as entertaining as the actual theme. |
| 3:43
| Jim says he could edit in the mailbag theme every time but Steve can probably remember to turn that feed on when he needs to. Last week though Jim said he was having to edit a lot of stuff out of there although Steve didn't tell him to. Apparently Jim took it upon himself to censor Steve. Maybe he'd like to come down and explain himself. |
| 3:44
| You might recall that Steve helped Jim out when he lost his job at the bank. Then Steve had to pay him extra to do the Wake-Up Call which Steve wasn't being compensated for. Then Jim told Drew that he's not doing any extra work for it. |
| 3:45
| Now Steve has to keep paying Jim because he's gotten used to the lifestyle. He's got the black girlfriend, she's very demanding. He needs that money so he can keep buying the Cristal and rolling through the Taco Bell raw as hell. |
| 3:46
| Steve says he can just turn the podcast feed on for the mailbag intro. Jim didn't do any editing last week but there were a few things on the podcast that fall under the digital copyright. |
| 3:47
| Ron Lewis gave Steve his take on the copyright laws this morning, saying that it's OK to have something on a podcast if you're talking over it. That doesn't seem right to Steve and he doesn't want to risk it. Ron needs to just focus on the taxes, April 15th is almost here. |
| 3:48
| Steve has to close the mailbag because he forgot Dan Jiggetts was calling in. |
| 3:49
| It seems like there should be something more in the Comcast intro like a sponsor. Dan's going to talk to someone over at Comcast and see what he can do. |
| 3:50
| Johnny Bach will be on Chicago Tribune Live today to preview the NBA playoffs. They'll also be talking about who the Sox are bringing back from Arizona. |
| 3:51
| Kerry Wood is also giving a press conference today but who cares what he has to say? |
| 3:52
| The Cubs did name their fifth starter, Wade Miller. It's been about 18 months since he had his surgery. That seems to be about the time when most pitchers really start rebounding from the surgery. |
| 3:53
| There's nothing new on the Lance Briggs front. What is it with guys named Drew causing problems? |
| 3:54
| Dan has the feeling that the Bears are just going to let Lance Briggs sit out for this season. Drew Rosenhaus is also the agent for Adewale Ogunleye and Tommie Harris so Jerry Angelo probably wants to remind him that he's the GM. |
| 3:55
| Dan does understand where Lance Briggs is coming from though. There are a lot of guys with less talent than him who walked away with bigger contracts. There's no guaranteed money in the NFL unless you have a signing bonus or you're franchised. |
| 3:56
| If Lance Briggs were not a good player he'd be gone already. |
| 3:57
| The good news for the Sox is that Indians pitcher C.C. Sabathia took a line drive to the shoulder today so he probably won't start against the Sox on Monday. |
| 3:58
| Steve actually likes that guy except for when he beats the White Sox. |
| 3:59
| Steve forgot to ask Dan if he'll be at the Bears convention on Friday. He also needs to give away that last four pack of tickets for the weekend. |
| 4:00
| The 1,059th person to text Kick to 41059 wins the passes. |
| 4:05
| Every time Steve drives by Soldier Field he tears up a little bit. He already put his money in for his tickets for next year, no one's negotiating with him! |
| 4:06
| It's not like someone from the Bears told him not to send the money in until they locked Briggs up. And they only take checks so Steve can't get miles for his purchase. |
| 4:07
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:08
| Steve doesn't understand how the Iranians caught some soldiers from the British navy. Don't those guys have guns? It doesn't matter what flag you're waving, if a boat comes up on your ship you should open fire. |
| 4:10
| Former major leaguer Ugueth Urbina was found guilty of attempted murder in a Venezuelan court. He will do 14 years in prison. |
| 4:12
| The British navy troops were on a frigate. Aw frigate! Steve would 't get off of his boat in Iranian waters, he doesn't care who it is. All those people are crazy over there. |
| 4:13
| The CPD were protecting that Abbatte guy like he was R. Kelly. Now there's a new video of some cops beating up 4 traders who were cracking wise in a cop bar. |
| 4:14
| What's the point of being a cop if you can't beat some guys up? Not girls though, just a few traders. |
| 4:15
| A Greek grocery store owner trying to break up a fight between Greeks and Turkish people watching a soccer match had both of his ears bitten off. |
| 4:16
| You know why bad stuff happens at soccer games? Because it's a boring sport! |
| 4:21
| My Chauffeur brought Steve to work today and here he is. The proof is in the pudding. They driver was on time and he knew Steve and they had a little chit-chat. |
| 4:22
| Steve likes driving himself to work but he could get used to taking a limo. He had a chance to call Jeff Schwartz which eats up about 25 minutes. |
| 4:23
| First Steve called Jeff and he wasn't there. Then Jeff called him a few minutes later and they talked for a while. Then Jeff just said he had to go and hung up. |
| 4:24
| Steve used to call people back when they did that. It might be a Jewish thing but Steve had a business manager who did the same thing and he was Jewish. The Jewish guys also tend to smack when they eat. Steve could never attend a seder because it would drive him nuts. |
| 4:25
| Ron Lewis has great phone manners but he smacks when he eats. Greg Solk used to smack and he had bad phone manners. Of course Buzz probably doesn't know about that because he was the one hanging up on Greg. |
| 4:26
| Alright, back to the mailbag. The first item is a text message from a 773 number, wondering who the sidekick was with Buzz and Wendy. Technically that would be Wendy since she did traffic. That's the sidekick roll. |
| 4:27
| And now on to the really mean ones about both Steve and Buzz. The first emailer says that Steve's show is miserable now and she's said about the loss of Wendy and her much-needed female perspective. Steve would like to once again say that Pete is more of a woman than Wendy. |
| 4:28
| The emailer also doesn't enjoy the long conversations with Drew. Steve would like the record to reflect that he also doesn't enjoy them. Buzz enjoys them because he doesn't have to do anything. |
| 4:29
| Finally the emailer doesn't enjoy Steve and Buzz's long-winded conversations. Why is she listening then? If you don't like the long-winded conversations, what else is there other than the occasional song or a commercial break? |
| 4:30
| The other day Steve got an email from a guy named Chris saying he'd crossed the line with that day's Thought of the Day. Then yesterday he got a really long apology email from another Chris, even though he wasn't the one who sent the original email. |
| 4:31
| The next emailer had a question about Steve's all-time favorite guitar solo, which he was talking about some months ago. The song is Toussaint L'Overture by Santana. It must be about Allen Toussaint. |
| 4:32
| Song: Toussaint L'Overture, Santana |
| 4:37
| That song is actually not about Allen Toussaint but Steve has made this mistake before. It's actually about François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture, one of the leaders of the Haitian Revolution. |
| 4:38
| Steve has never played a song during a mailbag segment, this is history. |
| 4:43
| Pete got an actual laugh out of Buzz in that rejoin from School of Rock. Is Pete there? Didn't we go through this an hour ago? If Steve says Pete's name it's never a rhetorical question. |
| 4:44
| Pete lives to make Buzz laugh and Steve knows that which is why he wanted him to know. |
| 4:45
| Pretty much everything Steve says is rhetorical but if he says your name he's looking for an answer. |
| 4:46
| Now that Steve thinks about it, there are two guitars in Toussaint L'Overture so it's probably Neal Schon and Carlos Santana going at it. They were going at it and kept trying to top themselves which is old school. |
| 4:47
| Joe Walsh once told Steve a story about the recording of the song Hotel California. The band worked on it all day but only Don Henley was done when he decided to go to dinner. |
| 4:48
| Before Don went to dinner Joe Walsh and Don Felder called him in to hear the solo. He said it was good but he thought they could do better which was a bummer. |
| 4:49
| Instead of re-recording the solo, Joe and Don Felder just left it as is and goofed off for three hours. When Henley came back from dinner they played it for him and he approved it because he thought it was different and better. |
| 4:50
| Song: Hotel California, Eagles |
| 4:55
| You have to give Joe Walsh and Don Felder credit for recognizing that guitar solo was perfect. Instead of re-recording the solos they just goofed around and got high. |
| 4:56
| Steve thought he smelled Ben Gay's cologne, Aramis, so he must be here. It's peppery and potent, just like Ben. |
| 5:00
| Ben Gay is here and he does not wear Aramis, he wears Drakkar Noir. |
| 5:01
| The other day Ben heard Steve and Buzz talking about a one-man/woman show about the last 90 minutes of Anna Nicole Smith's life. Ben is of course a big fan of the show, 5'10", 360 pounds. 60 of those pounds are in Ben's pants though. |
| 5:02
| Ben thinks that Steve definitely has the rack to play Anna Nicole Smith. He'd also like to announce that he'll be doing a one-man play about the last 90 minutes of Gianni Versace's life. |
| 5:03
| It's very hard to get the rights to even use Versace's name because of the name-brand so he might have to do a play about Andrew Cunanan. The poster will just show a houseboat with a tub of vaseline in one of the port windows. |
| 5:04
| The Bulls play the Cavaliers tomorrow in Cleveland. The Cavs are right above them in the standings. Ben would not mind having LeBron James above him either. |
| 5:05
| The Bulls are also holding a food drive this Saturday. You'd think they would be able to afford their own food though. |
| 5:06
| High protein foods as well as baby food and diapers are recommended. Diapers? Ben better not see a visible diaper line under Scott Skiles pants on Saturday. |
| 5:07
| They're also recommending hygiene products. Is that for babies or feminine hygiene? That seems a little inappropriate. |
| 5:11
| LeBron James' 35,000 square foot home south of Cleveland will feature a movie theater, bowling alley and barbershop. |
| 5:12
| Ben saw both Barbershop movies and it seems like you'd be missing out not going to a real barbershop. |
| 5:13
| LeBron purchased an 11-bedroom, $2.1 million house and then knocked it down to build his new mansion. |
| 5:14
| The master suite will be on the first floor and feature a two-story walk-in closet. The bedroom is bigger than most of the houses in Bath Township, where the house is located. |
| 5:16
| Tony Dungy was a guest of general manager Jim Hendry at the Cubs spring training game on Tuesday. |
| 5:17
| Did Brendan put everything in the sports today? Do we care about a guy on the Bucks getting surgery? Is he just trying to make this show look bad so his show looks better? |
| 5:18
| As Buzz reported in the headlines, former major leaguer Ugueth Urbina was sentenced to 14 years in prison for attempted murder in Venezuela. |
| 5:24
| Steve has the weirdest stack of Post-It notes but he's almost done with them. The adhesive is on alternating sides so it looks like an accordion. You never know what side to right on when you grab a note. |
| 5:25
| If Steve was going to make decorations for a party he could stretch the whole stack out and and string it up but they're not good for Post-It notes. |
| 5:26
| Steve marked the Bob and Ron CD but the words are upside-down because he forgot to flip it over. You can tell Bob and Ron are here because it smells like a bar. |
| 5:27
| Caller Julie wanted to let Steve know that those Post-It notes are made for a pop-up dispenser. Steve doesn't have one of those, Tina probably brought these. |
| 5:28
| Actually a dispenser might be OK, Steve has a perfect place to hang it. He had no idea Post-It note technology had advanced this far. |
| 5:29
| Steve doesn't like the 2 x 2 Post-It notes, he prefers the smaller ones. He can't have a big note because it hangs down and covers the other CD player. |
| 5:30
| Bob and Ron are here. Bob almost got shot in his neighborhood over the weekend. Steve apologizes to Ron for missing, he gave it his best shot. |
| 5:31
| Bob was in his neighborhood and two guys got into a fight in the street and bullets started flying. |
| 5:32
| This week in 1965 the Yardbirds replaced Eric Clapton with Jeff Beck, who was recommended by Jimmy Page. |
| 5:33
| This is also the week that Eric Clapton married George Harrison's ex-wife. Is Bob plugged into a microphone from the 1950s? Steve feels like he's listening to Bob talk about a day which will live in infamy. |
| 5:34
| Song: Bell Bottom Blues, Derek & the Dominos |
| 5:39
| That's still a good album all the way through. A double album is great for cleaning your pot on. |
| 5:40
| Bob still finds seeds and stems in some of his gatefold albums. Gatefold? Steve didn't know the technical printing term for a double album. |
| 5:44
| Steve was talking during the break about getting over to the Bears convention on Friday, courtesy of My Chauffeur. Buzz will be picked up as his crib and then Steve will be picked up here. |
| 5:45
| Buzz is looking at a 12:45 pick-up. Those strippers better not be warn out by the time they pick Steve up. |
| 5:46
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 5:47
| David Hochberg can't stop emailing Steve about this new lending law. Steve agrees that the law is stupid and he understands why David is incensed but there's nothing he can do about it. |
| 5:48
| Steve's advice to David was to do what he did after the Janet Jackson thing, readjust your game plan. |
| 5:49
| That new mortgage law is just a scam. It's a way for lawmakers to get their friends jobs as credit counselors. Then the cost of those counselors will somehow be worked into your loan. |
| 5:50
| Caller George was wondering how things went with Pete and the teacher who was hot for him. He said he followed up on it but that's the last Steve heard. |
| 5:51
| The teacher was taken by Pete's sensitivity and said he had a gentle soul. Steve only knows him as the Rogers Park Strangler. |
| 5:52
| Pete has yet to hear back from her but he feels the deal might have been queered because it was mentioned on the air. Or it might have been the nude photos he sent. |
| 5:53
| Steve kept telling Pete not to send the nude photos on the first email but he likes to let the girl know exactly what she's getting right away. Hence the photo of him buck naked talking on his cellphone. |
| 5:54
| Yesterday Steve told Buzz that he was taking all Canadian and French stories, except for Vancouver. He remembered that the last time he was in Vancouver he was in a Chinese restaurant and the waitress refused to serve him any more food because he already had too much. |
| 5:55
| Steve likes to order an item from every category at a Chinese restaurant. Then they brought out the dim sum cart and he tried to order some of that but the woman refused. |
| 5:56
| Steve has a story from a Canadian website but the dateline is Jerusalem. That still counts though. |
| 5:57
| An Israeli pro-marijuana group has said no to pot on Passover. This is going to kill Ron of Bob and Ron. |
| 5:58
| There's a listener, Rabbi Doug, who has a service that removes stuff from your house that's not Passover-friendly. Either you pay him a dollar for every item or he pays you but Steve can't remember. |
| 5:59
| Hopefully Rabbi Doug will call in, but he only seems to call when you don't want to talk to him. |
| 6:00
| Caller Chuck is offering up his services as a Jew to clear some things up. When you sell stuff to a service for Passover they buy it off of you for a dollar but it doesn't leave your house. |
| 6:01
| Then after Passover you buy the stuff back for $50 which is how they raise money. |

| Spike Manton converted to Judaism after he got married just to make his parents mad and he was a real pain about keeping Kosher. |
| 6:03
| Spike had some fake circumcision and passed out in a pool of water. He's just some guy from upstate New York though. |

| As Steve recalls, when he went on that Chinese food bender he was just on a diet and had lost a lot of weight. Then he went on a cruise and gained 20 pounds. |

| 6:15
| You're better off not smoking pot during Passover, all that food isn't conducive to having the munchies. |
| 6:16
| Steve would probably go with corned beef or pastrami on rye with those caraway seeds. Steve doesn't mind deli mustard but he prefers yellow mustard. |
| 6:17
| One of the biggest pains in Steve's life is that pretty much everywhere you go they serve Dijon mustard. Steve was not involved in the decision to switch from yellow to Dijon. |
| 6:18
| If Steve gets a burger he has to ask for yellow mustard and a lot of times they don't have it. Then he has to scrape the Dijon off, put some ketchup on there and try to pretend it's a meat loaf. |
| 6:19
| Sometimes if Steve can tell something is fishy in the kitchen he'll ask for A1. That also helps sell the meat loaf facade. |
| 6:20
| Who's idea was it to switch from yellow mustard? Buzz doesn't need yellow mustard on a burger but he has begun putting it on a turkey sandwich. |

| 6:27
| 15 British sailors held by Iranian authorities have been shown on television in good condition. Do they get shish kabobs and all that other good Middle Eastern food to eat? |
| 6:28
| It's funny that these sailors are a big ass deal but how many soldiers have been killed this week in Iraq? |
| 6:30
| That Dana Perino sounds like one of those girls on SNL who did the NPR thing. Does Pete have that readily available? |
| 6:31
| Pete is finally responding when Steve calls his name, but he's delayed and stepping all over him. |
| 6:32
| Pete is ready for the boss comparison. They sound exactly alike! How right on is Steve's ear? |
| 6:34
| That Sanjaya kid on American Idol is wholly untalented. |
| 6:36
| Steve's looking at a photo of Dana Perino and she's hot. He's putting her in the eminently doable category. |
| 6:37
| Dick Cheney probably wanted to some hot women in the White House for the last days. They might as well make it count. |
| 6:45
| Sanjaya is weird and talentless but that hasn't stopped many other people from getting into showbiz. Talent isn't necessarily a prerequisite. |
| 6:46
| Steve is optimistic about the changed at WCKG. He still doesn't know how Garry's sidekick Jim Turano is. Buzz thought he knew but then Steve reminded him that he was thinking of Turano bread. |
| 6:47
| The best thing about the new line up is no more Tom Leykis. Steve doesn't know where he's going to get tips on how to hate girls though. He and the other 13-year old boys will have to find another place for it. |
| 6:48
| After Matt and Brendan is that Glenn Beck guy from CNN. It might be some sort of simulcast with CNN. Steve would rather have Headline News at night. Whenever you turn on CNN at night there's no news, it's just Anderson Cooper or Larry King. |
| 6:49
| Steve loves CNN in the morning with Robin Meade. It's funny and informative and she's easy on the eyes. Plus they repeat the stories about three times an hour so Steve can usually memorize everything. |
| 6:50
| Their entertainment reporter is easy on the eyes too and she's Greek. Buzz loves the Greek women, that's why he used to live in Greektown. He also liked the flaming saganaki. |
| 6:51
| Flaming saganaki was actually invented here, it's not an authentic Greek food. |
| 6:52
| Steve saw something about it on the Hungry Hound last week but a search of that on Google only came up with a story about the Heimlich Hound, a dog who gave it's owner the Heimlich maneuver because she was choking. |
| 6:53
| How is that even possible? You can probably just say it happened and no one would know the difference. |
| 7:00
| Chris Liakouras, owner of the Parthenon Restaurant in Chicago, claims he invented flaming saganaki at his restaurant in 1968. |
| 7:01
| The fried cheese dish was on the menu but shortly after opening four female friends of his told him to put some cognac on the cheese and light it on fire. |
