| Steve doesn't even want to talk Terry about baseball because it's too early in the season to be worrying. |
| 2:02
| Are Stan and Terry stoned? Who cares if the Sox lost one baseball game. Steve's not going to go through an entire baseball season of this stuff with Terry, who's dragging Stan down with him. |
| 2:03
| Steve cares more about the fact that Stan beat him in the NCAA pool. Stan says he won because he's black. How many white guys were out on that court last night. |
| 2:04
| Steve was rooting for Florida even though he picked Ohio State to win. He's not sure why he picked Ohio since he sort of hates them. |
| 2:05
| It's hard to hate Florida because all of those players came back for another season instead of going to the NBA. |
| 2:06
| Stan was a little embarrassed by the post-game remarks from some of the Florida players. That Joakim Noah guy is always very well-spoken but after they won he was really fronting hard. |
| 2:08
| Stan won $110 in the pool although he's acting like he didn't know that. Steve came in second place so he won his $10 back, which Tina gave to him in quarters. |
| 2:09
| Would Stan like his money to be presented to him on the air? Terry thinks this is where Stan should give Tina a little something-something because he won. |
| 2:10
| Tina doesn't really roll that way plus Stan took the sexual harassment test so he knows better. |
| 2:11
| Steve took the sexual harassment test as well as the other test about diversity in the work place. |
| 2:12
| Steve found several of the questions in that diversity test to be offensive. Stan wanted to talk about it on the air but he couldn't even read the set-up to the questions. |
| 2:13
| Steve doesn't want to talk baseball with Stan and Terry all season, they're not even buying tickets from him this year. |
| 2:19
| Song: Dream Police, Cheap Trick |
| 2:22
| Steve was sitting in the studio listening to the show open but he missed the theme. Did Pete have a dream about Steve? |
| 2:23
| The opening was actually about all the recent activity in the Chicago Police Department. As it turns out, Anthony Abbate's brother also enjoys a good beating. |
| 2:24
| Steve was going to pitch a reality show called When Off-Duty Cops Attack but he could probably do one just about the Abbate brothers. |
| 2:25
| Pete is currently monitoring CNN because there was a shooting at their studios in Atlanta. Whenever something big happens in Atlanta, all the CNN anchors start relaying their own experiences with the area where the incident took place. |
| 2:26
| The shooting probably has something to do with the NCAA tournament. Shootings and basketball go hand-in-hand. Buzz heard it was the result of a lover's quarrel. Steve's still going with basketball attracting a bad element be it college or professional. The same goes for boxing. |
| 2:27
| Buzz objects to boxing attracting a bad element. Steve has seen fights in Vegas and Memphis and they attract a bad element. He'll add that Snoop Dogg shows also attract a bad element. |
| 2:28
| Steve's glad to hear none of the CNN anchors were shot. If one of them were shot he would like it to be Anderson Cooper but he's based out of New York. Glenn Beck could also work just to give the station publicity. |
| 2:29
| Glenn Beck looks like Rush Limbaugh if he went on NutraSlim or something. Buzz thought he seemed very glib with Matt yesterday. He seemed to only be concerned with himself. |
| 2:30
| Most of those talk show hosts only care about themselves and what they think. Steve and Buzz are on a talk show but it's not all about what they really think about the war or politics or whatever. You really have to be full of yourself to think that people care about your opinion on the war. |
| 2:31
| Caller Jamie has a guaranteed money maker for Steve. He's already laughing at the idea before he's even said it. The idea is a pay-per-view fight between the Abbate's and the Ligue's. Steve's money is on the Ligue's. Jamie thinks the Ligue's would win because they bite. |
| 2:32
| Jamie is a bit of a handful Steve doesn't want to talk to him any more. He didn't want to talk to him from the beginning because he laughed at his own idea before he even said it. Is Brendan pumping them up out there? |
| 2:33
| Steve wants to talked to scared callers who he can dominate and take ideas from, then somehow pass those ideas off as his own. It's like Steve and Buzz had called into Jamie's show, they couldn't get a word in edgewise. Didn't Brendan hear the self-satisfaction in Jamie's voice? |
| 2:34
| Looking back Brendan did hear a little of that. It's also a bad sign when someone calls in right away. Steve doesn't really need any callers right now. |
| 2:38
| Even CNN mentioned the NCAA tournament being in Atlanta while reporting on the shooting. They didn't mention the |
| 2:39
| Steve has some advice for Brendan that he won't find in Rick Kaempfer's producer's manual. Steve has never thought of boiling it down like this but it's a golden piece of advice for call screeners everywhere. |
| 2:40
| Caller's should be more excited to talk to Steve and Buzz then they are to hear themselves. They don't have to be scared though but you can tell in someone's voice if they only care about hearing themselves speak. Steve knows because that's him. |
| 2:41
| Buzz isn't sure if that's totally valid but was he even paying attention to Jamie's call? He was probably still incensed that Steve said boxing attracts a bad element. |
| 2:42
| All that being said, the Abbate's versus the Ligue's is a great idea. Based on the video Steve has seen that Abbate guy isn't in good shape. |
| 2:43
| Steve had a chance to view the Ligue/Gamboa beating on TiVo recently and it's really something. The Ligue's are actually fighting themselves to get to Gamboa. |
| 2:44
| Steve has CNN on right now and they can't help reporting on themselves. All shootings are important, but this one took place right at CNN where these reporters are everyday. |
| 2:45
| There's a CNN producer on now who was at McCormick & Schmick's when the gunshots rang out. She didn't even see anything, who teaches people to do reports like this? It's like that reporter hiding in the Bed, Bath & Beyond during that Utah mall shooting. |
| 2:47
| The shooting was the result of a domestic dispute. A man and woman had an argument near the entrance of the main CNN complex when the man pulled out a gun and shot her. |
| 2:48
| A CNN security guard then shot the man. CNN guards are armed? |
| 2:49
| Steve's megaphone batteries are dead. He hardly ever wants to use it but when he does the batteries are dead. |
| 2:50
| Steve needs to remember to turn the megaphone off, unless people are coming in the studio when he's gone and having fake emergencies. |
| 2:55
| Good news, Steve's megaphone is working again. Steve must not turn it off but he doesn't know how to. |
| 2:56
| There's no low setting on this megaphone because it's a real one. Steve doesn't need one this big but it's the one Tina bought. It is fun to scare Buzz with it though. |
| 2:57
| Stephanie used the megaphone a few weeks ago to report on that fire at Macy's and it worked fine, maybe it just goes through batteries really fast. |
| 2:58
| It is fun to have the big megaphone because every time Steve uses it Buzz almost swears. It's part of Steve's big sound effects array along with the cowbell. |
| 2:59
| Lovers are probably shooting each other all over the country all the time but when it happens at CNN it's a big deal. It happened right near the food court that the reporters go to everyday! |
| 3:00
| Talk about a cow town! Chicago acts less cow towny than Atlanta does. |
| 3:01
| Steve got a flurry of IMs from Matt Dahl when he started talking about Glenn Beck. Apparently they cut off the second part of his joke about the cop beating. |
| 3:02
| You don't always have to alert people to stuff like this. No Matt thinks he's being censored, he's already got an attitude. Why was Matt even on Glenn Beck? It was just a forced awkward moment orchestrated by Drew. |
| 3:03
| Steve thought the interview went really well though. Buzz thought Matt looked great on TV, like some studly actor like Jason Priestly. More like a contemporary Jason Priestly. Maybe Ricky Schroeder? Someone from the Brat Pack? |
| 3:04
| Almost every night on Keith Olberman's Countdown Glenn Beck is listed as one of the three worst people in the world. |
| 3:05
| Steve didn't listen to Glenn Beck last night because he could tell by his TV show that it would be something he wouldn't like. Steve's glad Matt and Brendan are on from 7:00-9:00. At 9:00 people should really be watching TV though. Or read a book maybe. Just carve out some "you time". That's probably not the promo Glenn Beck is looking for. |
| 3:10
| Steve can hear the edit from Matt's interview with Glenn Beck. Glenn just took Matt's joke for himself. Get used to it Matt! That's what Steve should have done with that first caller. |
| 3:11
| During the break Steve determined that the actor Buzz was talking about is Luke Perry. 90210 was right at the height of Steve's alcoholism so it's not something he paid attention to. |
| 3:12
| Buzz never really watched 90210 but through the years he's always confused Luke Perry and Jason Priestly. |
| 3:13
| Matt was on CNN which is great. It's not Headline News but it should be. CNN shouldn't do anything except Headline News, Steve doesn't care about any of those other shows. |
| 3:14
| Actually Steve does enjoy Robin Meade's show in the morning. The good thing about Headline News though is they repeat the stories three times in an hour so Steve will know everything that's going on. |
| 3:15
| Of course by the time the show starts a bunch of other stuff has happened, like the CNN shooting. Hopefully Robin Meade is OK. |
| 3:16
| Steve doesn't remember what Luke Perry looks like. He likes to think of Matt looking like a younger, handsome Steve Dahl. Buzz doesn't except that comparison because he knew Steve when he was around Matt's age. |
| 3:17
| That's fine with Steve, he just threw it out there to see what would happen. |
| 3:20
| Buzz is rushing back to the studio so he can read his intro for the Comcast Sportsnet Report. The Jiggler's calling in a bit early today. |
| 3:21
| Dan thinks that yesterday's weather didn't help Jose Contreras at all yesterday. He really did get lit up though. |
| 3:23
| Steve saw before he came in today that the Bears were going to counter the Redskins offer for Lance Briggs. |
| 3:24
| The Bears want someone else in the trade in addition to the #6 pick in the draft. Specifically a second string linemen named Rocky McIntosh. That sounds like a type of apple. |
| 3:25
| Dan would prefer Rocky Fuji, he loves the Fuji apples. Steve just had a slice of a Braeburn apple it was fantastic. |
| 3:26
| Steve would be willing to buy Sam Zell's minority ownership in the White Sox if he decides to sell and keep the Cubs. |
| 3:27
| Steve knows a woman who has a minority interest in the Sox and even during their worst seasons, when attendance was really low, she still made money. |
| 3:28
| Steve thinks Rich Melman would be a good guy to buy the Cubs. No one is a bigger fan of the Cubs and he knows a lot of people who want to invest with him. He's like the Jerry Reinsdorf of the restaurant business. |
| 3:29
| Based on what Steve knows about his friend who has minority ownership in the Sox, he'd buy a few points in the Cubs if Rich Melman was involved. |
| 3:30
| It seems like the Cubs would want to sign Zambrano as soon as possible now that they're up for sale, just to add more value to the franchise. But Zambrano isn't sweating it either way because he knows he's going to cash in one way or the other. |
| 3:31
| Zambrano did not have a great game yesterday but he's the type of guy who's going to settle down and figure it out. Lou Piniella's comment about Zambrano was right on yesterday though, he's already fed up. |
| 3:32
| There's a chance that Lou has a meltdown tomorrow if things start going bad against the Reds. |
| 3:33
| Steve saw Pete Rose at the game yesterday but he had to pay for his own ticket. And he was wearing a really bad Reds hat. It was some sort of black-on-black hip-hop deal. |
| 3:34
| Actually the hat was white-on-white but it still didn't look good. They've got some funky hats out there. |
| 3:36
| Dan's not sure what happens to Chicago Tribune Live with the sale of the company and the Cubs. |
| 3:37
| It seems like the company's stake in Comcast would be included with the team. |
| 3:45
| Steve saw a woman who looked like Jane Byrne today and started wondering if she was still alive. |
| 3:46
| Buzz is pretty sure she's still alive. Her husband died a few years ago though. Buzz always liked her a lot. He once did a radio bit with her, she couldn't have been more cooperative. |
| 3:47
| Steve's also been thinking of Jane Byrne because REO Speedwagon is coming on the show tomorrow. After Jane Byrne started living in Cabrini Green Steve did a parody of Take it on the Run called Better Get a Gun. |
| 3:48
| Buzz remembers playing REO during a softball game. The team played a lot of bands when they came to town and dominated them. |
| 3:49
| Song: Do It Again, Steely Dan |
| 3:54
| Before Steve started that song he accidentally started the Beach Boys Do It Again. Once he starts a song he has to talk it up until the intro is over. |
| 3:55
| Steve didn't talk up Steely Dan but that doesn't mean he can't. You can go two ways with a song, you can talk it up or you can not talk it up. |
| 3:56
| The intro to Steely Dan's Do It Again is about a minute long so it's a bit of a nightmare. Back in the day Steve would probably do the weather over an intro that long. |
| 3:57
| Of course when he was playing that song he was in Bakersfield so the weather was a little different. |
| 3:58
| Steve could do a Bakersfield forecast just so the listeners get a feel for what he was doing. If he was in Bakersfield he would have a forecast printed out for him. |
| 3:59
| Steve prefers the printed out forecast because the weather these days is too complicated. There are too many different graphics and it's hard to read. |
| 4:00
| Should Steve keep doing this or does Buzz think we're losing listeners? At this point Buzz doesn't even care, he just wants to hear Steve hit the post on the song. |
| 4:01
| Steve could still be in Bakersfield talking songs up like that, having the time of his life. He'd probably have a smaller place and a BMW from the 70s but he'd still be rockin'. |
| 4:02
| Steve never liked doing the overnight shift because he had to power down the transmitter. Sometimes he'd forget to do it and then get calls from guys in British Columbia who could hear the station like it was local. |
| 4:03
| It always took a long time to power the transmitter down and the songs weren't usually long enough so he'd have to go back and forth a few times to get it all done. |
| 4:04
| Steve wasn't always in the mood to keep running out there and sometimes there were snakes hiding in there. Eventually Steve faked the transmitter log but at first he was very gung-ho about it. |
| 4:05
| That's Steve's story about Bakersfield. That and the sheep herders who used to come by the station wearing chrome Nazi helmets. They wanted Steve to have sex with their sheep. |
| 4:06
| The sheep herders put the animal's hind legs in their boots to keep them from getting away. One of Buzz's friends, Buddy, told him that people would put the sheep's legs in the boots and then walk it down to a lake. |
| 4:07
| The walk down the lake sounds very romantic but apparently sheep stop in front of a body of water. |
| 4:08
| There were no bodies of water in Bakersfield so the sheep herders probably had to settle with just the boots. |
| 4:14
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:15
| A freelance editor hired by CBS to cover the Masters in Augusta was one of three arrested for robbing an area bank. He just needed some walking around money. |
| 4:16
| Police found the man in a hotel room covered in red dye. They pretty much always put the dye packs in during a bank robbery now. |
| 4:17
| Anthony Abbate's brother Terry is the subject of a new surveillance video beating up a visiting cop from Washington, DC. Welcome to Chicago. |
| 4:18
| The Florida Gators will be the first men's college basketball team to get their own Wheaties box. That's not going to make Steve want to eat his Wheaties, those guys aren't that good looking. How about a cereal box with the Gator cheerleaders? |
| 4:19
| Steve has recently become aware of the Oregon Ducks cheerleaders, they're hot. He went to their website and there's a group photo that allows you to click on their faces and learn more about them. |
| 4:22
| Keith Richards has admitted to snorting the cremated remains of his father, mixing them with some cocaine. |
| 4:29
| On the phone is Jeff Schwartz with the 24 Report. Steve actually thought last night's episode started to pick up a little bit. |
| 4:30
| Jeff is having a great Passover so far. Last night he brought his mom 2 cartons of cigarettes and she made a nice brisket and some sweet and sour meatballs. |
| 4:32
| Jeff thought the first 2/3rds of last night's episode was pretty slow but it did pick up at the end. Jeff isn't sure if all that stuff about the 25th amendment was true though. |
| 4:33
| All that 25th amendment stuff was true. How else would Cheney keep Bush in line? |
| 4:34
| Steve went to play a clip from 24 but it's some news audio of Heather Mills. Steve thought Jeff was doing a really bad impersonation of President Palmer. |
| 4:35
| Jeff would like to see 24 put closed captioning on all episodes because almost everyone is whispering now. Steve always watches it with closed captioning, it's the only way to go. |
| 4:36
| Jeff's new theory is that we won't see Powers Boothe any more. After he was exposed for scheming with his chief of staff we didn't see him again. Usually they just do 6 episode deals for these guys. |
| 4:37
| Steve has no idea what Jeff is talking about and who cares how long Powers Boothe is on the show. Is Jeff his agent or something? |
| 4:38
| Jeff also thinks that the producers are trying to make Ricky Schroeder a star. How many episodes is he going to be on? |
| 4:39
| Steve thinks that Milo guy is going to end up being the mole. He looks like the devil. |
| 4:40
| Jeff's G's are really working overtime for Passover. |
| 4:41
| For some reason Buzz had a vivid image of Gradenko blowing his brains out last week. Then he remembered that actor was in Shooter, in which he blew his brains out. |
| 4:42
| How about a spoiler alert from Buzz? Most people don't see movies until they're no video, we can't all go to the theater twice a week. |
| 4:43
| Buzz is the only person over the age of 18 that Steve knows who still goes to the movies. Even the Dahl boys don't go to the movies. Is he still getting hot dogs there because Steve feels we're going to be ready about that in his obituary. |
| 4:52
| Steve has another Steely Dan song to play, they're like our featured artist. Have we played any other songs today? Steve has toyed with the idea of having a featured artist of the day and he would start that today if we haven't played anything else today. |
| 4:53
| This is where a Jim kid, as the log keeper, should chime in. Pete played Dream Police at the beginning but technically that doesn't count. |
| 4:54
| It sort of seems lame to have a featured artist. Pete thinks it would limit Steve but he wasn't asking him. |
| 4:55
| This song ties in with Buzz going to the movies and it's a good one so it's fine. |
| 4:56
| Song: Everyone's Gone to the Movies, Steely Dan |
| 4:59
| That song is more about child molesting than going to the movies so Steve didn't want to cast any aspersions on Buzz. |
| 5:00
| There's a lot going on in that song which is what happens when you're using a studio that allows you to record 16 tracks at once instead of 8. |
| 5:06
| Neil Funk was doing a little Skynyrd bashing during the game the other day. Skynyrd pulled a Dan Falato on Neil, rolling up with a pair of headphones on. |
| 5:07
| Neil doesn't need these guys hanging out, he could do the game all by himself. |
| 5:08
| Neil is in Detroit right now. After the Atlanta game he flew down to Florida to check in on his mom who's in Delray Beach. Steve's condo is in Pompano, Neil can stay there next time. |
| 5:09
| Neil was a little miffed last week because the Bulls couldn't stay at the Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta because of the Final Four. They were at the airport hotel and his room was right next to the plane they flew out on. |
| 5:10
| The Atlanta win was good just because of the tough loss on Saturday to the Cavaliers. |
| 5:11
| The Bulls are definitely in the playoffs but Neil doesn't think they'll have a first round opponent until the very end of the season. |
| 5:12
| If the playoffs started today the Bulls would play Washington. The Bulls can still pass up Cleveland and in theory they could pass up Detroit. The Pistons would really have to fall apart though. |
| 5:13
| Other than the Pistons there really isn't a team in the East that the Bulls can't beat in a playoff series. |
| 5:14
| Neil watched some of the NCAA game last night and it was like watching paint dry. A lot of critics say that you can turn on the 4th quarter of an NBA game and see everything you need to see but Neil had a hard time watching those tournament games. |
| 5:15
| Steve's thrown off by the 2 halves in college basketball, he likes his basketball in quarters. There are too many timeouts for Neil, it's like 3 hours of commercials with a 40 minute basketball game thrown in there. |
| 5:16
| Steve would have won the NCAA pool if Ohio State had won but he was rooting for Florida. Those Ohio State guys seem like a bunch of thugs. |
| 5:17
| It occurred to Steve last night that Greg Oden didn't get into foul trouble like he normally does. In the other games in the tournament he was benched because of the foul trouble and the guy who went in for him did really well. |
| 5:18
| Then Oden would come in at the end of the game, well-rested and play really well and Ohio would win. |
| 5:19
| Even though Oden wasn't in foul trouble they should have stuck to their normal game plan because it seemed to throw everyone else on the team off. |
| 5:20
| Steve thinks he bring out a good side of Neil when he's on the show. He likes hearing him go after Skynyrd during a broadcast. |
| 5:21
| The last time he went after Skynyrd he wasn't actually talking about Skynyrd. All Steve cares about is that he's annoyed by the people around here, if he gets the names right it's just a bonus. |
| 5:27
| Buzz is having some printer problems. Steve heard him yell "I'm printing my ass off" during the break but he had nothing out there. |
| 5:28
| Steve feels it's user error but he can't proof it and didn't want to say anything until he could. |
| 5:29
| Larry Birkhead's lawyer presented him with an itemized bill for her legal services. It included her clothing and make-up and her husbands clothing because she was on TV representing him. |
| 5:30
| Steve has heard of lawyer's padding bills like this but never anything this heinous. |
| 5:31
| A lot of lawyers don't go after clients who don't pay their bills because it's viewed as unethical. Based on what is on this bill it doesn't seem like she has a problem with that though. |
| 5:32
| The lawyer probably realized that Birkhead was the child of this baby and that he would be in line for all that money from Anna Nicole's husband. She just wanted to get a nice bill down on record. |
| 5:33
| Debra Opri claims that all the items on the bill were necessary and appropriate in order to represent Birkhead. |
| 5:34
| Birkhead received a Fed Ex on Saturday with the itemized bill. Usually the Saturday Fed Ex is never good news. |
| 5:35
| The bill totaled over $620,000 which comes to about $475 per hour. |
| 5:36
| Opri billed him for her attendance at Anna Nicole's funeral as well as the preparation to get to it, even though he asked her not to attend. |
| 5:37
| She charged him another 10 hours for her flights to and from the Bahamas plus probably the airline ticket. |
| 5:38
| She billed him $600 for Seafood World where she brought 4 trays of lobster to Larry Birkhead's house. |
| 5:44
| There's one charge on this bill that Steve missed. Opri billed Birkhead for a dinner she had at Outback Steakhouse that he wasn't at and left a $50 on a $100 bill. He didn't even get to enjoy the dinner! |
| 5:45
| Live read: Balance for Life |
| 5:46
| Steve just got an email from Troy at Balance for Life and he said things are going great. You might recall that a few months ago Steve had to convince Troy to do it his way, which is no weight-loss contests. |
| 5:47
| Steve saw that Buzz brought his laptop into the studio so he could try printing from that. Buzz should know that we're here for him if he needs help or even just a hug. |
| 5:48
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 5:50
| Caller Jim was calling about tonight's season premiere of The Shield. Steve didn't even know it was on tonight. Have they been running ads? |
| 5:51
| Buzz has been hearing ads all day but he didn't know it was on tonight. He's been hearing the screaming from the opening credits of the show but he wasn't really paying attention otherwise. |
| 5:52
| Maybe they should buy more ad time then. Is there another one coming up before the end of the show? There is another Glenn Beck promo coming up, how many more of those do we need to hear? |
| 5:54
| Steve has a season pass for The Shield so he probably wouldn't have missed it. It's still something to live for tonight, along with his Balance for Life dinner. |
| 6:00
| Buzz is so excited that The Shield is on tonight. Steve and Buzz have a lot to do so they're not always paying attention to the commercials. At least the listeners are paying attention. |
| 6:01
| Buzz has never been disappointed by The Shield in the entire time he's watched it, not for a single moment. They just keep dialing it up. |
| 6:02
| A coyote wandered into a downtown Quizno's today, startling patrons and drawing a crowd of people taking photos. |
| 6:03
| Authorities managed to capture the one-year old male who didn't eat anything or harm any humans. It probably would have enjoyed a nice toasted sub but it would have wolfed it down. |
| 6:04
| A 2-year old male coyote was captured at 31st and Wells last Friday. These coyotes are just looking for chicks, that's all. |
| 6:05
| If you get further north on the Chicago area you get up into some forested areas so they might actually live in the city. The animal captured last Friday was taken to the Flint Creek Rehabilitation Center. Apparently it's an alcoholic. |
| 6:06
| Do we have a Coyote Ugly bar here? Maybe that's what they're being drawn to. Steve just watched that movie over the weekend, he always enjoys it. |
| 6:11
| Steve has one more story before Buzz does the news but if he's going to do it he can stop him. |
| 6:12
| A flight from Cincinnati to Honolulu was diverted to San Francisco because of an unruly passenger. Buzz has this story but wasn't going to do it. He's Air Marshal Buzz. |
| 6:13
| Buzz enjoys these stories because he wants to see these people get their just desserts. They never do though. If Steve or Buzz did something like this they'd be prosecuted to the fullest extent. |
| 6:14
| A female passenger became unruly after smoking in the airplane lavatory. If you can't go that long without flying you need to break up your flight to Hawaii. Stop off in San Francisco, smoke a pack of cigarettes and get back on the plane. |
| 6:15
| According to one of the passengers on the flight, who called the AP from the tarmac, the woman had "a complete meltdown freakout" when the plane was over the Pacific Ocean. |
| 6:16
| Did she get to smoke or did they stop her before she was able to? Because maybe that's why she freaked out. They have nicotine patches, couldn't she just use one for the flight? |
| 6:17
| News with Buzz |
| 6:18
| A woman died today after being shot in the face near the entrance of the CNN complex in Atlanta. Then the shooter was taken down by a CNN security guard. |
| 6:20
| Every time Buzz does a story about Harry Reid Steve thinks he's going to say Harry Reems. He never does though. |
| 6:22
| The FCC has said no to allowing cellphones on planes that are in flight. Cellphones must be turned off once the plane leaves the ground. |
| 6:23
| Why do people need to use their cellphones on a plane? People always call someone when the plane lands to tell them what gate their at, as if that matters. You can't go right to the gate any more. |
| 6:24
| Cellphones have bred a new form of self-importance in a lot of people. |

| KFC has offered American Idol contestant Sanjaya a lifetime supply of their famous bowls if he sports a bowl haircut during his next performance. |
| 6:27
| Buzz is a KFC man but he had no idea they had bowls. It's like a combination of chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and corn. It's what you'd mix together if you had a plate of food from KFC. |
| 6:28
| Buzz likes rice bowls but Steve's not sure if he'd like these. The KFC near Steve shut down so he's never had one but they weren't very well-run. They were hocking those chicken pot pie things but when Steve went there the guy said they didn't have any. |

| Caller Barbara is calling in about that woman who went crazy on the flight to Honolulu. Barbara's voice sounds very familiar, does she call in a lot to correct Steve? |
| 6:31
| Barbara has only called in once before, when Ronnie Woo Woo went missing a few years ago. |
| 6:32
| Barbara wanted to point out that they also make nicotine inhalers which have the same effect as the patch. |
| 6:33
| How did this woman get matches and cigarettes on a plane? Steve can't even bring hair gel on with him. They take everything from you and then they make Steve take his shoes off, lift his shirt up and pull the waist of his pants down to prove he's not packing C4. Then they tell Steve to lose some weight, he tells them to get a job and next thing you know he's getting a cavity search. |
| 6:34
| Buzz probably wants one of these inhalers now. He doesn't smoke but he wants to. He knows he shouldn't. |
| 6:35
| They say that people never quit smoking, they're just in between cigarettes. They probably say that about anyone who's addicted to something. |
| 6:36
| Buzz can still drink though, Steve can't even do that any more. Buzz often thinks about that when he's out on a Saturday night, downing his 2 shots or maybe 4 shots of tequila. |

| Even though Mayor Daley says people shouldn't fight Steve still wants to see the video of the other Abbate brother. He's working on his show When Off-Duty Cops Attack. |
| 6:46
| Steve will start his first show off with the 6 cops beating up the traders at the Jefferson Tap and then end with the the first Abbate brother. Steve is guessing that's the better of the two. |
| 6:47
| Although it might be good to build up to the trader beating, highlighting the part where one of the traders calls the cop the p-word because he's crying. And there's your first episode. |
| 6:48
| Yesterday when Steve was leaving U.S. Cellular he started talking to a police officer. Today he got an email from the guy pointing out that he didn't think Steve would make it since he saw him leaving at 1:48. Then he tuned in at 2:05 and Steve was on the air. |
| 6:49
| Steve probably could have been escorted by this cop because he seemed like a big fan. It was just funny that the cop noticed how little time it took Steve to get from 31st and State to the Prudential. |
| 6:50
| Steve talked to the cop before he got jammed up at 31st and Indiana. He doesn't listen to anything that those kids directing traffic say because they're not real cops. |
| 6:51
| It's a good thing those kids wear the yellow vests because they you know they're not cops and you don't have to listen to them. |
| 6:53
| Those people are the Traffic Management Authority. They can probably write tickets but they have no idea what they're doing. |
| 7:00
| Matt Dahl did not have any big TV interviews today. How about Brendan? Did he get a nice nap today? |
| 7:01
| Steve noticed today that around 6:00 Brendan stops screening calls and gets a little downtime before the Matt Dahl Show. It gives him a chance to refocus. |
| 7:02
| Brendan refocusing implies that he was previously focused though and he's not. |
