| Steve can't believe Stan voted for Todd Stroger. Is it because he's black? Stan was really mad at Forrest Claypool but he wasn't running. So he did a stupid, impulsive thing and voted for Todd, thinking he would prove him wrong. |
| 2:06
| Stan thought Claypool should have stepped up and said he should be the one running for Cook County Board president for the Democrats. He probably didn't want to get whacked and end up in a car trunk. |
| 2:07
| Terry actually voted for Tony Peraica, as did Steve. Terry considers himself a Democrat for the most part. He's a Democrat at a party but a Republican at the bank. |
| 2:08
| Steve thinks the Bobbie Steele thing is way worse. She bumped herself up to a higher paying interim job then she retired from that, meaning she'll get a $160,000 per year pension for life. Then she appointed a bunch of her friends to different jobs. |
| 2:09
| Stan thought that if Todd Stroger was elected there would be less turmoil and property taxes wouldn't go up. Stan also did think Peraica could make good on all of his promises. |
| 2:10
| Steve wouldn't mind getting one of those sweet consultancy jobs though. |
| 2:11
| Steve isn't too familiar with the story Stan is referring to, he was just going to try to fake his way through it. |
| 2:12
| Chinta Strausberg was replaced as Stroger's communications director. Then she went to William Beavers, who's considered her political patron, and got a job as the Cook County liaison to churches and community organizations. That's a $95,000 a year job. |
| 2:13
| Why does the county need a liaison to churches and community groups? Is the Archdiocese going to sell that video of the Cardinal slipping on holy water to American's Funniest Home Videos? |
| 2:14
| When you have a marble floor you really need to have a runner or something. The Cardinal was probably wearing those Gucci slippers they get for free from Italy. |
| 2:20
| Song: Daughter, Pearl Jam |
| 2:25
| Steve interviewed Eddie Vedder once as the prequel and sequel to the Pete Townsend interview. Then Eddie had to leave when Pete left. |
| 2:26
| Steve hasn't talked to Eddie since then. He doesn't run into him much now that he doesn't live in Seattle. |
| 2:27
| When Eddie was a kid he used to come to some of Steve's All My Children update parties. That was after Steve left The Loop but Buzz stayed behind. |
| 2:28
| Steve tried to bring Buzz with him but it was impossible. Steve tried to get a job at WMET but when he met with their program director, he didn't believe that he'd been fired. |
| 2:29
| The guy didn't even pay for lunch so Steve had to pick up the tab, even though he didn't have a job. Eventually Steve and Garry were hired at WLS. Buzz could have come with except they took their news very seriously. |
| 2:30
| Why would Steve lie about being fired? It was on the cover of every newspaper and on ever newscast. |
| 2:31
| That just shows how unbelievable the firing at The Loop was. Steve didn't even do anything bad either, he just got fired. |
| 2:32
| Steve thought that since Garry was such a stand-up guy and agreed to come with him, he should at least match his salary. That meant Steve was going to make less money and Buzz knows how he doesn't like to go backwards. |
| 2:33
| Steve remembers thinking that his agent didn't need to eat a sandwich since it was because of him that they were in this position. |
| 2:34
| That was the beginning of the end for that guy too. As you can imagine when Steve is making less money, the first thing to go is the agent. He still owes Buzz money too but Steve doesn't know how to find him. He's probably listening right now and cutting Buzz a check. That agent was also the engineer of Steve's worst showbiz moment ever. |
| 2:40
| Steve would like to point something out about that accountant in Detroit who was fired last Friday and then went postal, as someone at the club said yesterday. |
| 2:41
| Steve is pretty sure he coined that phrase, along with Popemobile and cheesehead. Steve's been here for 30 years so he's coined a few phrases. |
| 2:42
| We'd need an etymologist to prove that Steve coined the term cheesehead. Mark Czerniec is our resident etymologist but he'd probably try to prove Steve wrong. |
| 2:43
| How bad of an accountant are you if you get fired in the middle of tax season? |
| 2:44
| On to Steve's worst showbiz moment ever. Steve and Garry had to go up to Detroit and do some sort of appearance at a movie theater when Caddyshack was coming out. |
| 2:45
| There were a ton of other radio stations at this event and everyone had to do something different. Steve putted a golf ball with a giant salami. Howard Stern was also there because he was on W4 and he was making fun of Steve and Garry for being syndicated. |
| 2:46
| After the Caddyshack thing Steve and Garry were booked for a gig at a college in either Sarnia or London, Canada. When you're on the air in Detroit they can hear you in WIndsor and the area close to the border. So some people were going to know who they were but not enough as it turns out. |
| 2:47
| They were supposed to drive to Canada from Detroit and wanted to get their a little early just because of the border crossing. Steve and Garry were waiting in their hotel for hours for his agent to show up and drive them into Canada. |
| 2:48
| As it turns out Steve's agent decided he need to fly back to Chicago and pick up some chick and then bring her with. So they sat their for three hours waiting for this guy to show up. |
| 2:49
| As they were crossing the border someone told one of the guards that they were doing a gig, so they asked for work permits, which they didn't have. So that meant they were another hour and a half late. |
| 2:50
| This college was deep enough into Canada where they were people from all over the country so only about half of the people knew who they were. Then you add to that the late arrival and there's a lot of hostility in the room. |
| 2:51
| While Steve was doing his thing about the last 15 minutes of Elvis' life a bunch of kids came up on stage from the audience and started taping him up with duct tape. Neither Garry nor Steve's agent Brian tried to stop them. |
| 2:52
| Steve was drinking through all this but he didn't have a full party available to him because they had to cross the border. Plus they didn't get to the campus early enough to make any connections with students. |
| 2:53
| Steve tried to make the best of it when he was tied up with duct tape. They were an hour and a half late so he sort of had it coming to him. Still, no one tried to help him out. |
| 3:02
| Just to clarify, that was Steve's worst onstage showbiz moment. His worst private showbiz moment was when Garry and his wife returned from their honeymoon and went to a secret meeting at Larry Wert's house. |
| 3:03
| The CBS Radio engineer from Cleveland is here showing people around. Steve's trying to think of stuff that needs to be fixed. |
| 3:04
| Steve needs a new studio door. Sam the engineer actually noticed them. |
| 3:05
| Steve's going to play a song that reminds him of his worst showbiz moment as well as Buzz's first gig with Steve. That's where Michael Stanley opened up for him and he had to apologize to him. It just didn't seem right that Michael Stanley was opening for him. |
| 3:06
| Buzz remembers how happy he was about getting paid to play harmonica for the first time. It was only $20 but it was still a big moment. Plus he got hammered at the gig, had a great time and got to be part of one of Steve's magic tricks. |
| 3:07
| Song; Midwest Midnight, Michael Stanley Band |
| 3:13
| Michael Stanley now does a radio show from Cleveland, which is where Sam the engineer is based out of. Steve wishes he was based out of Chicago though. |
| 3:14
| Steve hopes that Michael Stanley isn't doing a radio show in Cleveland because he had to open for him. At that show Steve was much more interested in seeing Michael Stanley than doing his own show. |
| 3:15
| Sam is here with some of the guys who work at WFAN in New York, where the you-know-what is hitting the fan. They got out of town just in time, although engineers can ride out any kind of personality shift. |
| 3:16
| When you're detractors can boil down what you said to three words, or really 2 words one of which is hyphenated, and your three biggest advertisers have pulled out, you know you're in trouble. Proctor & Gamble, Staples and Bigelow Tea all pulled out and that will make others jump ship. |
| 3:17
| Steve had Staples ads for a while and he did a fantastic job on them but they pulled out. Steve was mad about that because he didn't know why until recently. |
| 3:18
| As it turns out the woman from Staples wanted him to come to a store before the ads started running. No one told Steve that but he feels if he had known back then he could have rectified the situation. |
| 3:19
| Steve's going to start doing some live reads for Cheeseburger in Paradise and tomorrow he'll actually be going out to one of their restaurants. |
| 3:20
| For some reason the sales people don't tell Steve about this stuff because they think he'll go nuts. Don't they realize that he's getting paid extra money for these live reads? Why would he want to risk losing that? |
| 3:21
| Buzz is welcome to join Steve for dinner but Downer's Grove is a little out of the way for him. They have three Chicagoland locations which Buzz didn't know. That's why Steve is doing the live reads. |
| 3:22
| The guy Steve has been talking to runs an ad agency that specializes in live reads. As a result he has to deal with a lot of radio people who are idiots, so Steve gets treated like them. |
| 3:23
| It's like when Buzz had to go out to Red Lobster for some live reads he was doing. They gather all these other radio guys like John Landecker and Roe Conn and Spike O'Dell like it's some sort of mafia sitdown. |
| 3:24
| The Olive Garden people wanted Steve to come out to one of their restaurants, but it's not that hard to figure out. They have bottomless breadsticks and salads, he gets it. |
| 3:25
| A lot of radio guys make a big deal about getting a free meal too which is embarrassing. Look at Drew, he couldn't believe he was getting a free donut everyday, it was a huge deal for him. |
| 3:26
| There was a point when Steve enjoyed getting the free meals but at some point he evolved past that. What he does is more important than getting a free meal. |
| 3:27
| Steve doesn't mind going out to a restaurant that's going to do live reads, but he doesn't want to eat dinner with Ramblin' Ray. |
| 3:28
| Steve was two days away from going to a Staples store and then the woman pulled the entire account. That really hurt. |
| 3:34
| There's a giant Steve Dahl-themed dolphin out in the hallway. It used to be in downtown Hinsdale on a street that Steve avoided just so he wouldn't come face-to-face with it. |
| 3:35
| Every year Hinsdale does a charity thing like the dolphins that different people design. Last year they did penguins but some high school kids stole a bunch of them. |
| 3:36
| This year the dolphins were bolted down. Then they were auctioned off at the Brookfield Zoo and purchased by Ed and Tammy, who hauled the thing all the way up here for Steve to autograph it. |
| 3:37
| Steve was handed a pen and told where to sign it but he was coming off 10 pictures he had to take with Rod Zimmerman's kid and another 15 with Ed and Tammy so he couldn't see where to sign it. |
| 3:38
| Steve had a silver pen and signed his name on a white and light blue part of the dolphin. During the next break he's going to go out and sign on the black part with some sort of message about how that's where he should have signed. Then Ed and Tammy will have a great story to tell their friends. |
| 3:45
| When Steve wrote his blog today he didn't know if the Cubs game had been canceled yet but said it probably would be. |
| 3:46
| Steve got an email from Ed Silha later today with one of those red exclamation points meaning it was important. It was after the game had been called and Ed wanted to know if he would like to amend the blog. |
| 3:47
| Ed hasn't amended the blog yet but he should feel free to do it. In fact, anyone who works for Steve should feel free to correct any mistakes they see. They're getting paid to make him look good. |
| 3:48
| The blog was posted after the game had been canceled so this seems like a self-answering question. |
| 3:49
| Steve and Buzz are going to talk to Chuck Garfein from Comcast in a couple of minutes but in the meantime he has the Bears 2007 schedule. |
| 3:50
| The first game is September 9th at 3:15 against the Chargers. Steve prefers the late games because it takes him from football right to The Simpsons. |
| 3:51
| The Bears play at Green Bay on a Sunday night which means another chance to see crybaby Bret Favre. |
| 3:52
| Steve had to cough so he turned of both his and Buzz's mic. People probably think he's beating Buzz off the air. |
| 3:53
| Chuck Garfein is on the phone. He could be doing better, he just came from his therapist after last night's Sox game. |
| 3:54
| Now the Sox are down 3-1 to Oakland. Buehrle gave up 3 runs in the first inning. The worst part about last night's game for Chuck was the A's play Celebrate by Kool and the Gang after they won. Chuck heard that song at his bar mitzvah. |
| 3:55
| Steve was so despondent over the loss that he didn't even notice the song choice. |
| 3:56
| Steve really likes Blackjack McDowell too. Last time he pointed out that Houston Street doesn't make contact with the rubber when he throws a pitch and he was right! |
| 3:57
| That drove Steve so crazy that he wanted to fly to Oakland and point that out. Every pitch he threw was illegal. The whole game should be under protest. |
| 3:58
| Jack McDowell is so good that he actually made Steve like that McDougal guy. McDowell started analyzing his pitching motion and proved that he's give 110% in every game. |
| 3:59
| There's a good chance that the Sox could play their weekend series against the Indians in Milwaukee. The weather forecast for Cleveland is not looking too good. |
| 4:00
| Steve wouldn't mind heading up to Milwaukee and catching a few sausage races. He hasn't been to Miller Park yet either. He has been to County Stadium a few times, back when Bernie Brewer used to drop into a vat of beer after every home run. He had some weird Swiss Chalet out there where he was living with a bunch of Heidi-looking girls. |
| 4:01
| Chuck thought it was sort of fishy that the Angels/Indians series was in Milwaukee. He's not going to say that Selig makes money from that but it's sort of weird. |
| 4:02
| Steve thinks it's fishy that Selig just moved the Brewers to the National League. |
| 4:03
| The Sox mascot, Southpaw, isn't even left-handed. He sort of looks like one of their old mascots, Ribby or Rhubarb. One of them was green and the other one was purple and had a big snout. |
| 4:04
| The Cubs don't have a mascot, except for the goat or maybe Wayne Messmer. |
| 4:05
| The last time the Cubs won the World Series they weren't even playing at Wrigley Field, They were at the West Side Grounds which is close to where Cook County Hospital. |
| 4:06
| The site of West Side Grounds is now a parking lot, which ironically the Cubs could use up at Wrigley right now. A few years ago Comcast did a report about the West Side Grounds. Chuck learned that the phrase "out of left field" comes from that ball park because there used to be a mental hospital just beyond left field. |
| 4:07
| The Bulls were accused of running up the score against he Knicks last night. If the Bulls scored 100 points everyone in attendance got a free Big Mac. |
| 4:08
| There's a longtime rivalry between the Bulls and the Knicks so it's not surprising. The Bulls also have the Knicks 2007 draft pick so they have extra incentive to beat them. |
| 4:09
| The Bulls don't have a very good chance of getting the #1 or #2 pick but it would be pretty amazing if that happened. |
| 4:17
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 4:18
| Is Buzz looking to get a place up in New Buffalo? |
| 4:19
| This live read hasn't been proofread because the area code is wrong. This live read has been months in the making. |
| 4:20
| This is Mitch Pink's account and he's been bothering Steve about going up to New Buffalo for months. Now he's nowhere to be found. |
| 4:21
| Mitch kept saying if Steve didn't go up there the deal would fall apart. Steve knows Jim Gierczyk, the deal is not going to fall apart. It might fall apart if you put the wrong phone number in the live read though! |
| 4:22
| So much behind-the-scenes stuff went into all this and then it's undermined by the wrong phone number. |
| 4:23
| When Steve went up to New Buffalo he got to see a few new places that are being built up there. One of his neighbors just bought a new place and a place for his hot daughters so he got to see that too. |
| 4:24
| New Buffalo is already a great vacation place and now they're opening up a casino in the area. Plus Steve met a guy at a Bears game last season that's trying to open a strip club in the area. |
| 4:25
| Mitch Pink didn't even go up to New Buffalo when Steve was there. |
| 4:33
| Steve feels bad about the whole area code thing. He should have just changed it but he can't do everything around here. |
| 4:34
| Steve went all the way up to New Buffalo to help Mitch close that deal and he can't even get the copy right. Steve wants the commission on that one. |
| 4:35
| Steve has a song to play, it's the only one he can think of that mentions area codes. It's also a song he really likes. Buzz was very touched the other night as he was going through his email and found the J-Lo album gift that Steve gave him from iTUnes. |
| 4:36
| Song: Don't Call Us, We'll Call You, Jerry Corbetta |
| 4:39
| Steve feels bad about the live read, but he and Jim Gierczyk put a lot of work into it. The sales department probably put a lot of work into it too but they're probably going to blame the traffic department which isn't right. |
| 4:40
| Steve can't be thinking about different area codes. He'll get distract and say the wrong thing and he'll be the next Don Imus. |
| 4:41
| Steve has a feeling that Don Imus is going down for all this. The reason he's still in town this week is because he's doing some sort of charity benefit with Joel Hollander. |
| 4:42
| Don Imus doesn't have anyone at CBS backing him up. That used to be Joel Hollander but he just left the company. He's a rich white guy and he's probably going down for this. |
| 4:43
| Smith & Wollensky also pulled their advertising from Imus' show. He still has NetJet but Steve's been placing anonymous phone calls telling them to drop out. That way they'll advertise on Steve's show. |
| 4:44
| It seems like S & W should be paying to have Chef Hans on every week but they did try to pay for his dinner last night. Steve didn't let them because he doesn't like that kind of stuff. |
| 4:52
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:53
| The Defense Department has announced it's lengthening tours of duty for soldiers in Iraq. That's some great news. Instead of a 12 month tour you have to do a 15 month tour. |
| 4:54
| All of the charges have been dropped against the Duke lacrosse players. Do those guys get a year of free stripping from that girl, because that's the least she could do. |
| 4:55
| Larry Birkhead has said he has no interest in sharing custody of Dannielynn Smith with anyone. Buzz only assumes that's directed at Virgie Hogan. |
| 4:56
| We've now learned that astronaut Lisa Nowak was in possession of a computer disc containing bondage photos when she attempted to kidnap her romantic rival. |
| 4:57
| She also had several orange pills wrapped in plastic and fortunes from several fortune cookies, including one that said "the coming months will bring winds of change". |
| 5:04
| Pete just put up a drop of Sam Kinison and Slash on with Steve. Sam died 15 years ago yesterday. |
| 5:05
| Brendan is probably very impressed with Slash being on there because he's a big GNR fan. Sam Kinison was in the studio one day and Slash just wandered in wearing leather pants, the top hat and a fifth of Jack Daniels. |
| 5:06
| Steve blogged about Sam Kinison a little today. He recalled the time he wandered into a dressing room at The Vic and found Sam, Tommy Lasorda and Seka the porn star. |
| 5:07
| As far as Steve knows, Sam was clean and sober when he died. He was in a car accident in Laughlin, Nevada and the kid who hit him was never charged because the local authorities claimed they found traces of cocaine in his blood. |
| 5:08
| Everyone who knew Sam swore he was clean and sober and it seems like the locals just made up the coke thing to help out a local. |
| 5:09
| Song: Coconut Suzie, Steve Dahl & the Dahlfins |
| 5:13
| The White Sox beat the A's 6-3. They had a big 9th inning. |
| 5:18
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 5:20
| Bob and Ron are here and they seem completely stoned today. They're higher than usual, a good shipment must have come in. |
| 5:21
| This is a big week for Bob and Ron, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Film for Theaters comes out on Friday. What does the colon have to do with anything? Or are they reading the punctuation? |
| 5:22
| Aqua Teen Hunger Force was responsible for those advertisements in Boston that caused a terrorist scare. |
| 5:23
| Steve blogged about this today, but he had a capture today of someone he believes is a terrorist. On Monday Steve was walking down the hall and a guy came out of the hallway near the freight elevators. |
| 5:24
| He had a name tag on but it was one of those fake "Hell My Name is..." ones. So Steve called security and as it turns out the guy wasn't supposed to be up here. |
| 5:25
| Steve wants to think the guy was a terrorist and that he averted some sort of attack. He wouldn't be surprised if he gets the city's highest honor. |
| 5:26
| Is there anyway Pete could turn down Bob and Ron's music? Right now he's got it as high as Buzz's harmonica should have been on Monday. |
| 5:27
| It's like Pete cranks Bob and Ron's music because he dislikes them so much. He doesn't want them in his studio and now he has to play their repetetive theme music because Bob can't properly operate a stupid little record player on his own. |
| 5:28
| What really scares Pete about Bob and Ron is he sees so much of himself in them. Bob and Ron are Pete without Steve. |
| 5:29
| Then there was the time in Vegas with the Dahl boys where Steve saw several suspicious looking gentleman walking around with duffel bags. Steve reported them to a couple of security guards and they did nothing about it. |
| 5:30
| This week in Rock History Paul stopped by the Beach Boys recording studio to play on Vegetables. Then he reported back to the Beatles that the Beach Boys would never catch them because they were sitting around a studio chewing vegetables and recording it. |
| 5:31
| This week also marks the birthday of Lowell George from Little Feat. Steve saw an HD concert featuring Little Feat the other day and he didn't know anyone in the band. |
| 5:32
| Song: Willin', Little Feat |
| 5:35
| There are a few versions of that song on various Little Feat albums, they're all good though. |
| 5:36
| Bob has some useless Lowell George trivia. He once appeared in an episode of F-Troop as the member of some band that played the fort. Steve can remember everything about that show except the name of the fort. |
| 5:37
| Way to tip it in Bob. He brings up the F-Troop thing but knows nothing about the show. Steve could have gone his whole life without talking about F-Troop. It was called Fort Courage. |
| 5:38
| It seems like things are really falling apart for Don Imus. MSNBC will no longer simulcast his show. His show was pretty far behind CNN's morning news anyway. |
| 5:39
| Imus' apology seemed very sincere but now people are uncovering all sorts of other things he's said in the past. |
| 5:40
| Don should have gotten out of town when he had the chance. He shouldn't have gone on Al Sharpton's show either. What show is that anyway? Does he have sponsors? |
| 5:41
| Steve and Buzz are available to be simulcast on MSNBC. Steve really just wants that NetJet sponsorship. Don owns a piece of that company so they probably gave him a discount. |
| 5:42
| Slate.com has a list of all the different things he's said in the past about other ethnic groups. He's been saying it all along and this comment about the Rutgers girls basketball team was just the tip-in. Now everyone is piling on. |
| 5:43
| Imus called Hillary Clinton a buck-toothed satan, what's wrong with that? Steve says she has cankles all the time. |
| 5:44
| After Garry quit and Steve started doing mornings at WMVP, Greg Solk wanted him to be more like Don Imus. |
| 5:45
| In New York, Imus is on WFAN which is the main sports station. He doesn't talk about sports though and Steve proved that to Greg by playing tapes for him. Still he didn't believe him. |
| 5:46
| Next thing Steve knew he was talking about the triangle offense with Tex Winter and Les Grobstein. |
| 5:47
| It's pretty obvious now that Imus doesn't talk about sports. Does Steve finally win that argument? |
| 5:53
| When Steve's offices were moved from the 10th floor to another floor he bitched and moaned and as a result got the Green Room all to himself. |
| 5:54
| Other people have keys to the Green Room but Steve likes to forget about that. He thinks of the Green Room like a hotel room, you don't like to think about who else has stayed there. |
| 5:55
| This week though Steve has noticed a few things out of place. For instance, the mouth wash was left out with the cap off and a used Dixie cup sitting on the counter. Steve figured it was Matt so he screwed the cap back on just like he does at home. |
| 5:57
| Also, Steve's coffee machine doesn't have any water in it. Steve just put three bottles of Evian in there and the red light is on, indicating it's empty. Who's responsible for that? Brendan says it's not him. |
| 5:58
| Matt Dahl is on the phone and he says it's not him drinking the coffee and using the mouth wash. Dan has a key to the Green Room, is he letting Garry in there? |
| 5:59
| Drew came in during the last break to tell Steve that he wasn't all about free meals. He got a $150 Morton's gift card from Big John Howell as an apology for punching him at a Christmas party. |
| 6:00
| Drew gave the card to Dan, who took Garry and Ramblin' Ray out to lunch. Then Dan had to pay for the cab. First of all, Steve doesn't want to think about the three of them having steak sandwiches and creme bruelle at Morton's. |
| 6:01
| Second, it's just like Dan to complain about paying for the cab. How much can that cab ride be? Why would you even take a cab, it's 3 blocks away. |
| 6:07
| Steve just had to pour a bunch of Evian back into his coffee maker but he's going to have to surveill the location. |
| 6:08
| Steve knows that John Valenta uses the Green Room and probably does unspeakable things in there. You gotta think he has a rich diet. Plus Drew and Dan have keys and you know they sit on the throne in there pretending they're Steve. Their feet probably don't touch the ground though. |
| 6:09
| No one else is supposed to use that Green Room, it's in Steve's contract. He can't put his own lock on there because it's a safety hazard. He can't put secret cameras in there either because he got in trouble for that in the past. |
| 6:10
| Buzz is just glad he's not a suspect. He can use the Green Room whenever he wants though. The other thing is even though Matt says he doesn't use the Green Room, that doesn't mean he's telling the truth. |
| 6:11
| Steve has asked Drew to put up a sign on the Green Room but he's too chicken. Plus he likes going in there and sitting on the toilet like Edith Anne. |
| 6:12
| Brendan is not available for further questioning because he's taking his break before the Matt Dahl Show. He's probably using the Green Room right now and having a cup of coffee. |
| 6:17
| Caller Brian has an idea for Steve to protect his Green Room. He should get a custom lock made for the toilet. |
| 6:18
| That sounds a little too complicated for Steve. What if he forgets to lock the toilet and then he has to rush in there during a break? |
| 6:19
| Buzz still has news to do and we haven't heard from Ben Gay yet. It's up to Buzz what happens after the break. |
| 6:20
| Buzz would like to do the news just so he can get it out there. Ben's not going to be happy about that. |
| 6:25
| It's time for news, or as Ben calls it, his warm-up. Buzz has really irritated Ben now. He might just go on with Matt and Brendan, they're cuter. |
| 6:26

| MSNBC has decided they will no longer simulcast Don Imus' show. Several people have called for his resignation including Barack Obama and the mayor of Atlanta. Is that the one who was nailing Marion Brooks? |
| 6:28
| If you're an advertiser on Imus' radio show you can probably pull out now but then put your ads back on when everything cools off. |
| 6:30
| The current mayor of Atlanta is the first black woman to be elected mayor of a major U.S. city. |
| 6:31
| John McCain is taking a calculated risk as he begins his presidential campaign. Is he going to streak through the U.S. Capitol? |
| 6:32
| Despite strong anti-war sentiment, McCain has said the U.S. needs to see Iraq through to the end. Steve's fine with that but we need to step things up a bit. For starters, we need to take out that al Sadr feller and all his followers. |

| Steve was sitting in the studio for 5 minutes waiting to start Ben Gay's music and he didn't start it. |
| 6:42
| Steve spent the entire break staring at a digital clock on the call screener. In the middle is a digital read out of the time and then on the outside is a graphic representation of the seconds ticking off, but it doesn't sync up. Steve became mesmerized and forgot to start the music. |
| 6:43
| Ben thinks he should just go home at this point. He's here so he'll do sports but he won't be happy about it. |
| 6:44
| Buzz is ready to kick back after a great show and hear some sports from Ben. Great show? Which one was he listening to? |
| 6:45
| Live read: My Chauffeur |
| 6:46
| Ben might take a car home because he took the EL to get here. He was up at Wrigley today covering the snow. It's the lead story on ever newscast. |
| 6:47
| Ben was hanging around hoping something would happen, like someone making an anatomically correct snow man. Nothing happened though so he just left. |
| 6:48
| Does My Chauffeur have a limo with a hot tub? If so, would Ben care to join Buzz for the ride home? |
| 6:49
| The Cubs game was canceled today because of snow and will be rescheduled July 12th. There probably won't be any snow then. |
| 6:50
| The Sox beat the A's 6-3 in Oakland today. Jermaine Dye hit a game-tying home run and then Darin Erstad scored the go-ahead run. Paul Konerko padded the lead with a two run double, just the way Brendan has padded this sports report. |
| 6:51
| Ben thinks the Bulls ran up the score last night but just so everyone could get a Big Mac. There's nothing wrong with that. |
| 6:59
| Matt and Brendan are up next. It's Whip 'em Out Wednesday right? |
| 7:00
| Matt is still saying he doesn't use the Green Room. He does get Cokes from Steve's fridge and sometimes uses the bathroom but he doesn't use the mouth wash. |
| 7:01
| Dan's probably letting Garry in there. Then the two of them run around in their underpants. Steve's for sure never using the toothbrush in there again. |
