| Stan wants to go see Ravi Shankar and his daughter Anoushkah the Symphony Center. Who would want to see that? Stan just says this stuff to irritate Terry. |
| 2:04
| Terry is sick today but Stan is just making him stay even longer today to talk about sitar music. |
| 2:05
| What's wrong with Terry is he hungover? Terry thinks he has a stomach flu which was always Steve's excuse. Maybe he's sick from the poison Easter basket his wife gave him. |
| 2:06
| Maybe Stan could put some soothing sitar music on for Terry to make him feel better. Steve doesn't like sitar but he could listen to it if some girl was dancing to it at a shish kabob restaurant. |
| 2:07
| Anoushkah is quite fetching also. Who's Anoushkah? Did Stan say her name before and Steve just missed it? |
| 2:08
| Ravi Shankar sounds like something you get on your lip because you didn't use protection. |
| 2:08
| Steve's sorry to hear that Terry is sick today, maybe he should just leave. Where's he going to go though? Doesn't he go home everyday and lay down after the show? |
| 2:09
| Sitar is music to smoke pot with. Stan likes to listen to sitar music because it's mind bending. Stan's mind is already bent, he should work on bending it back. |
| 2:11
| It's Thursday which means it's time for Music Snob Corner. There's no list of songs in front of Steve this week. |
| 2:12
| Steve never wants the list but then last week he thought it was funny to read all the stupid band and/or song names. Now he doesn't have a list. |
| 2:13
| Pete thought reading the names off the list was a bit. Is not giving Steve the list part of the bit? |
| 2:14
| Red Microphones by The Comas? Here we go! This isn't the craziest list but it has it's moments. |
| 2:15
| Today was the day they announced the Lollapalooza line-up. How did Steve miss that? When Steve was coming into the studio today Drew was asking Mary if they'd like to broadcast from Lollapalooza. |
| 2:16
| Steve could see Matt and Brendan broadcasting from there but Drew wants the entire line-up to be there. Steve will go out there because he's a dirty old man and there will be a lot of geeked-out chicks. |
| 2:17
| There are going to be 100,000 people at Lollapalooza so you don't know if some of them are fans of FM talk. It's just funny to think of Stan and Terry and Garry Meier out there. Plus Steve and then Pete and Jim kid bopping their heads. |
| 2:18
| Pete likes the idea for selfish reasons, just because he wants a weekend pass. How many times does Steve have to tell Pete that he can get him tickets to stuff. |
| 2:19
| If Steve doesn't broadcast from Lollapalooza he can still get Pete and Jim passes for the weekend. He might only be able to get two but they'll be the sweet press passes. |
| 2:20
| There's no way Drew's going to pull off this Lollapalooza broadcast. He's like a little kid who starts everyday wanting to be a different thing when he grows up like fireman or astronaut. |
| 2:21
| Now Tina is asking for tickets for herself an Stephanie. Is that going to mess up Pete's scene? Is Tina going to be here in August? Isn't she trying to get a job as a newspaper reporter? |
| 2:22
| Tina is currently covering high school sports for the Sun-Times. Steve used to cover high school sports until he was arrested. |
| 2:23
| Speaking of prep sports, has Steve been keeping up on his Friday Night Lights? Last night was the season finale and it was fantastic. |
| 2:24
| Steve hasn't seen the last two episodes but he loves that show. Hopefully it gets renewed but the way last night's episode ended, Pete would be OK with it being a one season masterpiece. |
| 2:25
| Today Pete and Jim were talking about which characters on the show are seniors. They haven't really said that but it seems like they're all seniors since they're drinking and messing around with girls. Actually it seems like they should be in college. |
| 2:26
| Steve will get Lollapalooza passes for whoever wants them. It would be nice if Tina could ask in person instead of via IM. |
| 2:27
| Last week after Steve and Pete were discussing the Arcade Fire show Tina asked Pete if she could buy his tickets if Steve got better ones. Is she working on anything down there or is she just making arrangements for herself? |
| 2:28
| Pete was sort of annoyed with Tina last Thursday because right before the show started she told him Steve was in a bad mood. Last Thursday Steve was coming off a meeting with Drew, Jen Donohue and Jill from marketing. They were just talking about the artwork for the Arlington broadcast, which is only a few weeks away. |
| 2:29
| That was also the meeting where Steve was told by Drew that he issued a no strip club ads edict. Meanwhile we're running all these commercials about weird sex pills that keep you going for 3 days. |
| 2:30
| Steve would like to point out that the Thought of the Day email isn't meant to be responded to. People can't help themselves. Some of them are malcontents but some just have something to add. |
| 2:31
| Steve just opened his email box and he sees we're having problems with the streaming again. It's been having problems for 3 months. After that long people will just stop listening. |
| 2:32
| Steve's thought for the day today was "Remind me to never tell the story of the time Don Ho laid his head in my lap and tried to take a nap." That's pretty simple but then in response he gets an email that says "If you promise not to make me tell the story of shaking hands with Nelson Rockefeller." What is Steve supposed to do with that? |
| 2:33
| Steve can't help himself, he has to respond to these emails, even if it's just to say thanks. These people need to get their own mailing lists or maybe go on that MySpace. |
| 2:34
| Steve calls down to Drew's office. He's been able to get the stream working at WCKG.com and Dahl.com so he's not sure what the problem is. |
| 2:35
| Steve has 10 emails from different people saying it's not working. So either they're telling the truth, or these 10 people just decided to get together and pull a prank on Steve. |
| 2:42
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 2:43
| This live read has a new local number in the 708. It's been triple-quadruple checked to make sure it's correct. |
| 2:44
| Pete's not sure if he's ever been part of a live read. What was his favorite part, when Steve took his glasses off? |
| 2:45
| Pete thought it was a perfect live read if Steve would have been recording it before a vacation. |
| 2:46
| Steve's heard a pre-recorded Gierczyk commercial but the part where it goes "free, free, free!" sounds really weird. They have some sort of character on their billboards that's a baby but the face has been all smushed and stretched. |
| 2:47
| Steve should tell the Gierczyk's about that company that makes mascots. Steve's thinking of getting a mascot because he's tired of Big Steve. He hasn't been able to think of a way for people to know it's Steve other than the microphone. |
| 2:48
| New Buffalo is a really convenient vacation spot for people in Chicago. It seems like people who live in the South and Southwest suburbs go to New Buffalo and people who live North go to Lake Geneva. |
| 2:49
| Steve should have a big shindig in New Buffalo sometime. He and Pete can go windsurfing or something. Steve doesn't have water skis but he could get some. Pete tried water skiing for an entire day and he could never get up on his feet. |
| 2:50
| Today's song is Take Your Medicine by Cloud Cult. Pete was recently turned on to them but they have several albums out. He was going to send the band an email telling them to listen today but then he wondered if maybe he wouldn't play their song today. |
| 2:51
| Song: Take Your Medicine, Cloud Cult |
| 2:54
| Steve is aware of that band because he got two of their songs on mp3 from Pat Dahl. Pat's trying to use Steve to get to Norm Weiner because he wants them to get played on XRT. |
| 2:55
| Pat is trying to get a job from someone who's friend is in Cloud Cult, so it would be really good if they got played on XRT. Apparently he didn't think getting them played on this show would be enough. |
| 2:56
| Steve forwarded the mp3s on to Norm Weiner, who liked the band but had never heard of them. Then Pat decided to email Norm himself. |
| 2:57
| Pete got an IM from Pat asking if he'd heard of Cloud Cult. Then he told him he's thinking of coming into town to see them. He's very busy lately even though he's unemployed. Right now he's in Europe. |
| 2:58
| Right now it seems like The Class isn't coming back to CBS. The producers told the cast they can look for new jobs but ABC might pick it up. It seems like Pat should be looking for a job instead of gallivanting around Europe. |
| 2:59
| The other night Pat spent 2 hours on the phone with Janet from Europe. How did Steve miss this part of his life? He's been working his ass off since he was 15 and Pat's telling him how he has to come to Florence. Steve will get right on that. |
| 3:00
| Pete remembers that Steve always talked about going to see the running of the bulls. That was more of a Dan Falato thing, where Bill Murray was going to join them. |
| 3:01
| Steve's been pushing for a running of the bulls down MIchigan Avenue for years. Would it be so bad to see someone gored in front of the Water Tower? Since we're not getting the Olympics that seems like a good second option. |
| 3:02
| Pete didn't know we weren't getting the Olympics. Steve heard about some leaked story online, just like the leaked Lollapalooza line-up. |
| 3:03
| The Lollapalooza line-up was leaked via The Onion which is ironic since they're known for reporting fake news. |
| 3:04
| According to this leaked Olympic story the USOC didn't make a recommendation for either LA or Chicago. Either that means neither one was good enough or they were both equally great. |
| 3:05
| The committee didn't make a recommendation but there's still going to be a vote to see which city submits to the IOC. No American city is going to get the 2016 games because the rest of the world hates us in our blue jeans. |
| 3:06
| The running of the bulls in Pamplona is from July 7th to July 15th. Each running only last 3 minutes so it's not that exciting. Steve saw it once and was lucky enough to have someone gored right in front of him. |
| 3:07
| Buzz says he wants to run in it. If he'll do that then Steve will figure out a way to get there. Buzz just wants to prove to Gary Fencik that he's more of a man than he is. |
| 3:08
| When Gary Fencik ran with the bulls it wasn't as uber-popular as it is now. It's always been popular but now there are so many people you can't run anywhere. Your best bet is to hope the bulls pass you by. |
| 3:13
| Steve still doesn't think Buzz wants to run with the bulls. Its something you think you want to do but you get there and you don't. Everyone there is hammered. |
| 3:14
| You have to make an effort to get to the running with the bulls. When Buzz does a remote in Pamplona then he'll do it. Until then, he just has to accept that he's not going to do it. He has to learn how to say the name before he even thinks about getting there to run. |
| 3:15
| There's another town where the bulls are on the top of a hill and people have to run down the hill with them. Pamplona keeps them in a pen and then just run them down the street. |
| 3:17
| Frijole Joe is on the phone. He lived in the town where they run the bulls down the hill. Where is that? Mount Prospect? |
| 3:18
| He has actually done that, you don't run down the hill with them but once you are at the bottom you run with them. When he was there a bull ran into a yard and killed a woman. He was there because he dates a Spanish woman. He races bicycles and runs with the bulls. That's where he met Steve, at the Tour de France. |
| 3:19
| Frijole Joe said the fun happens after the run when they are in the bull ring. That's where Steve thinks Buzz should be. He could hide behind things and do the Lakeshore Leap. |
| 3:21
| Joe has been getting Big Steve ready for the big Tax Day event. He wants to get Big Steve branded and maybe a new shirt. Steve would like a WCKG tattoo. Actually, maybe not, what if he leaves? He is just tired of people thinking its Dennis Hastert or Dick Cheney. |
| 3:23
| He just thinks they need to dumb Big Steve down to get the dumb people to listen. They've tried other things to make it look more like Steve. The microphone just looks like a giant vibrator. |
| 3:29
| That Matador is a great movie and Greg Kinnear is a great actor, Steve thinks he is even his favorite actor. Who would've thought that after he hosted Talk Soup? |
| 3:30
| song: Never Been to Spain, Three Dog Night |
| 3:34
| Steve is a fan of "The Night". Buzz is surprised he didn't go with the Elvis version but that's a good version. Hoyt Axton wrote that and Joy to the World. He actually wrote and co-wrote some popular songs. Buzz is amazed that he wrote all of that and starred in the Gremlins trilogy. |
| 3:36
| Hoyt spent some time battling alcohol and drug addictions. Several of his songs had to do with him going through that. He and his wife were arrested in 1997 for having a pound of marijuana. |
| 3:43
| Steve spent 99 cents just to make Buzz happy. He downloaded the No No song by Hoyt Axton. Who says he doesn't care? |
| 3:44
| song: The No No Song, Hoyt Axton |
| 3:46
| Mark Czerniec is saying that CBS has fired Don Imus. Now what will Al Sharpton demonstrate? Steve is sure he'll show up now for a victory celebration. Whenever you cause someone to lose their job its a victorious moment. |
| 3:47
| Steve blogged about Don Imus today and how none of this is really new to him. |
| 3:53
| Its time for the Comcast Sports Report and our intro seems like there should be more added to it but we never really know who we are talking to until that moment. Today we are talking to Luke Stuckmeyer. Luke thinks the announcer is just trying to figure out how to say his name. |
| 3:55
| All of the teams are off today. The Sox had a nice comeback win last night, they haven't taken a series in Oakland in 9 years. |
| 3:56
| There is also Prior news today. Yesterday Buzz asked about the Cubs mascot and Steve told him they have 2, Prior and Wood. Luke thinks they could be mascots in their hospital gowns. Prior left the Triple A game with an undisclosed injury today. |
| 3:57
| Buzz threw in a weak back joke. When did you get that? About a week back. Luke can feel free to use that joke on the air. Or in the "oblique back" context. |
| 3:59
| Steve thinks Prior just needs to get back to school and work on his degree. Maybe Devry because he isn't going to be pitching again. Although he seems quite cinematic or dramatic so maybe film school. |
| 4:00
| Luke is on Comcast at 6 and 10 today. It seems he has moved up since he started talking to us, now he has the 6 and 10:00 before he has to clean the toilets there. Steve took him under his wing, there is no charge for that, maybe a little B.O. but no charge. |
| 4:03
| Steve seems to have changed Luke's life and he'd like to hear him say that in the opening. "Say my name!" Steve has got to get into the agent business. He can come in here and pound on Drew Hayes a little bit, he already does that but Drew seems to like that. |

| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:11
| The big news is that Don Imus has been fired from his job at CBS. He still has a meeting scheduled for next Tuesday with the Rutgers women's basketball team. Steve would cancel that meeting if he was Don. |
| 4:12
| Actually, Don probably shouldn't cancel that meeting since the girls on that team have been pretty hospitable to him. |
| 4:13
| You shouldn't be fired from a job because you're a jerk. Don Imus has been a jerk for 40 years and people are only noticing now. |
| 4:14
| Al Sharpton's demonstration in front of CBS headquarters today was canceled due to bad weather. So he's a fairweather protestor? With that hair he probably shouldn't be out in the rain, it'll turn into an oil slick. |
| 4:15
| The asking price for Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch has dropped from $50 million to $20 million. That's still not within Steve's price range. Does that price include the Ferris wheel and train? |
| 4:16
| Tyrone has some traffic to report because that's what he does. He's a traffic ho. |
| 4:17
| The left lane of I-80 is blocked because of a car/tractor trailer crash. Tyrone also wanted to let Steve and Buzz know that he'll be monitoring them today. The black man is flexing his muscle today and he'd have no problem taking both of them down. |
| 4:18
| Is Buzz wearing a cowboy hat today? Tyrone's got a big foam cowboy hat one, it makes the people at the airport laugh every time they see him. |
| 4:24
| Buzz needs to follow Oprah's example and quote Maya Angelou more often. Is she really Oprah's mentor? She's been on her show a few times, does that mean she's her mentor? |
| 4:25
| Oprah has of course made the Rutgers thing about her, as she does with everything. |
| 4:26
| Steve tuned in to see the Rutgers basketball coach but instead she was going to visit her neighbors, which is something she said you should do from time to time. Who doesn't know that? What kind of idiots does she think she's broadcasting to? |
| 4:27
| You could do a whole hour on the Rutgers thing but instead they have Oprah bringing a bottle of Dom Perignon to her neighbors. Then they show Gail going to some hip-hop class. |
| 4:28
| Oprah didn't even know there were good restaurants near her studios, even though she used to have a restaurant near there. They specialized in potatoes, or at least that's what Steve says. She loves potatoes. |
| 4:29
| Steve wanted to see the Rutgers coach but instead he had to see all that other stuff. She does 6 minutes on the Rutgers coach, finishes them off with a Maya Angelou quote and then goes to her neighbors house. |
| 4:30
| How is Maya Angelou Oprah's mentor? Was Maya Angelou ever a talk show host? Oprah sort of made Maya Angelou more well-known but that's not good enough for her, she needs to be mentored by the woman. |
| 4:31
| Who doesn't know that you're supposed to know who your neighbors are? Do people really need Oprah to tell them that? |
| 4:32
| Steve knows his neighbors, but he also knows when they come over to talk to him they usually have something to complain about. |
| 4:33
| Caller Bill wanted to let Steve know that Oprah's restaurant was known as The Eclectic and they were known for their mashed potatoes. |
| 4:34
| There was a girl on hold who saw Oprah today but Steve hung up on her. She was going to say that Oprah talked over the guy who was complaining about the women always lining up at 4:00 AM outside her studios. |
| 4:35
| How hard would it have been to do an hour about this Rutgers thing? She had no problem berating that guy who wrote A Million Little Pieces for an hour. |
| 4:36
| Caller Arlene wanted to let Steve know that there's a Wildfire where Oprah's restaurant used to be. Eclectic might have also been part of the Lettuce Entertain You group. WIldfire has really good mashed potatoes as well. |
| 4:37
| Caller Monica was hung up on earlier, but she's back. She can't believe how Oprah is so taken with herself. |
| 4:38
| Steve's just glad he now knows to go talk to his neighbors. He didn't even know he had neighbors. There's a house next to his! |
| 4:39
| Steve wants to take one more Oprah call and then he's done with it. Buzz thinks Steve should do an entire show as Oprah. Who's ready for a challenge?! YAY! |
| 4:40
| Caller Jason grew up next to Oprah's farm in Indiana and she never came over to say hello to him. Whenever she was there she came in by copter. |
| 4:41
| Jason lives in Heston, Indiana which is near the train museum. He tried to call in before to recommend Steve stop there on his way to New Buffalo but couldn't get past Brendan. |
| 4:42
| Steve's a grown man and all his kids are grown up so he'd feel weird going to a train museum. He does love trains though. According to Jason there's been some pretty decent tail there in the last few years. |
| 4:47
| Today Oprah asked her neighbor if he ever wondered what was going on at the studios. Of course he knows. There's a big sign that says Harpo Studios right outside. |
| 4:48
| The good news for her neighbor is she's doing fewer and fewer shows but that line still has to be really irritating that early in the morning. |
| 4:49
| Tyrone is back and he's black and he's proud. It ain't easy flyin' a helichoptater either. |
| 4:50
| Tyrone wanted to tell Buzz that he was the one who used to fly Oprah to her farm. She don't go up there no more but when she did it was fun. She invited him in a few times and he played some nude racquetball with Steadman. |
| 4:51
| It's only a 15 minute flight but they always had to stop to use the bathroom. She's got a parakeet bladder. |
| 4:52
| Tyrone does recall flying Oprah and Maya Angelou up to the farm in the choptater. They'd be sitting in the back working on their rhymes and limericks so technically she is a mentor. |
| 4:53
| It was very hard to Oprah because nothing rhymes with her name. She had to either make words up, like Moperah or just call herself O. |

| Steve's getting ready to do Meat Talk 2007 with special guests. Chef Hans is calling from Taipei. |
| 5:03
| Calling from Switzerland, ironically, is Pat Dahl. What's a good thing to do in Geneva? |
| 5:04
| Obviously he should buy his dad a Rolex. Some chocolate would be good too, plus some Swiss cheese. |
| 5:05
| In Taipei it's 6:00 AM, or actually a little after 6:00 AM. The minutes are the same all around the world so it's probably 6:05 AM there. |
| 5:06
| Pat is in Switzerland for a wedding. Who gets married in Switzerland except Swiss people? The groom in the wedding is French and his grandfather has been very outspoken against Americans. |
| 5:07
| Pat should remind that guy about how we saved France's ass in World War 2. And then how they started Vietnam and then abandoned the whole mess. |
| 5:08
| Hans is being treated like a rock star in Taipei. He'll bring back all the radio and TV interviews he's done. |
| 5:09
| There are some pictures of Hans on Dahl.com from Taipei. Is he getting any soapy soapy action over there? |
| 5:10
| There's one picture of Hans standing in front of a mural of himself. It looks like he's wearing a robe, did he just come from some soapy soapy? |
| 5:11
| Pat hasn't gotten any soapy soapy in Switzerland, it's pretty brutal. That's probably why Buzz hightailed it out of there. |
| 5:12
| Why didn't Hans take Steve with him? He can cook steaks and he could have lined up some washy washy. |
| 5:13
| What is Taipei, is it a city? Hello! 26 million people live there? Like Hans knew that before he left for Taipei! |
| 5:14
| Taipei is the capitol of Taiwan, which is an island. They're very close to Okinawa which is in Japan. |
| 5:15
| Steve though it would be good to talk to Pat when Chef Hans was here but he didn't know he'd still be in Taipei. |
| 5:16
| That whole area seems ripe for the picking. Steve's friend Shu says Steve will be huge in Japan. |
| 5:18
| Ed Farmer is on the phone. He's never seen anyone more bundled up than Steve and Janet were over the weekend. |
| 5:19
| Ed's still in California. His choice was either to fly to Cleveland for the weekend series or spend the off day at home. |
| 5:20
| It's supposed to be in the 50s or 60s in Cleveland so it looks like they won't have to play the series in Milwaukee. |
| 5:21
| Who would have thought people from Cleveland would go to Milwaukee to get warm? Plus they filmed the movie Major League in Milwaukee but that was at County Stadium. |
| 5:22
| Something that Jack McDowell pointed out the other night was that Houston Street doesn't touch the rubber when he pitches. Ed said that the other day as well. Every pitch he throws is a balk. |
| 5:23
| Guys have been doing that long before Houston Street. Steve doesn't think he'd be as good if he pitched with his food on the rubber. |
| 5:24
| Ed's daughter is doing much better and he appreciates all the kind words that have been coming in from fans. |
| 5:25
| Right now Ed's daughter just has a scar on her forehead like Harry Potter. |
| 5:26
| Steve's not familiar with the Harry Potter movies. He needs to broaden his horizons a bit. |
| 5:27
| Steve's done telling Ed about what he does at the games because he'll just make fun of him on the air. |
| 5:28
| Steve wants to know why MLB doesn't schedule the early games in the season for warm weather cities. |
| 5:29
| Steve will be at one of the games next week whenever it's the warmest. It's supposed to warm up next week. |
| 5:30
| Ed's flight to Cleveland stops in Chicago tomorrow so if the game has been moved to Milwaukee he can call and find out before he gets on the next plane. |
| 5:31
| Ed might stop by the studio on Monday. |
| 5:32
| Ed was pretty hard on Steve for being bundled up over the weekend. What does he want, it was freezing! He spent a lot of money on those tickets but if he's going to use them he wants to be warm. |
| 5:33
| Then Ed's pointing him out during the game for being bundled up and digging into some prime rib. |
| 5:34
| Last night Steve was watching ABC and Mark Giangreco was referencing some guy in the stands at the Sox/A's game. He said it was either John Kruk or Steve. |
| 5:35
| With all this Imus stuff going on it was pretty startling for Steve to hear his name on the news. |
| 5:39
| Steve doesn't mind being compared to John Kruk although he's not looking great this year. Steve feels he deserves a little better since he's been on a diet for the last couple years and he's been working out. |
| 5:40
| What if Steve referred to Mark as George Hamilton every time he saw him? |

| Never underestimate the power of a limo on a first date. Buzz can't endorse that concept enough. He was all hands in the limo ride from the station to the Hilton for the Bears Fan Convention. |
| 5:43
| Song: Bad Weather, Poco |
| 5:47
| That is some hardcore Southern California country rock right there. Steve's tying it all in because he's a DJ. |
| 5:54
| How about some sports? White Sox starter Jose Contreras has been implicated in the LA Times of trying to smuggle his wife and daughters to America from Cuba. |
| 5:55
| Implicated by who? Smugglers? Why is Steve doing this story? Is Brendan just trying to bring down the White Sox? |
| 5:56
| If Steve were a ballplayer he'd leave the family in Cuba, but that's just him. Ozzie Guillen has said he fully supports Contreras even if he did spend $200,000 to smuggle his family here. |
| 5:57
| If you're from Cuba and you sent foot on US soil you're good to go, what's the big deal? |

| Girls Gone Wild bad boy Joe Francis was found in possession of pills in his prison cell. That guy's going down too. |
| 6:09
| He was caught after he tried to bribe a guard $100 for a bottle of water. At some point if you're in prison you should just use tap water to take the pills. Steve might even go toilet water because you need those pills in prison. |
| 6:10
| The president of Mantra Films, which produces the Girls Gone Wild videos has also been arrested on suspicion of slipping Francis the pills. Why is that guy coming to visit Francis? He should have the girls who have gone wild visiting him, Midnight Express-style. |
| 6:11
| You can't take sleeping pills in prison? How is Steve going to get to sleep if he's in jail? He doesn't want to be tired for the basketball game against C-block. |
| 6:12
| You gotta think it'll be tough in prison if you're the Girls Gone Wild guy. He'll probably be starring in videos in prison but he'll be on the losing end of that. |
| 6:13
| Steve would have paid any amount of money to these girls who are suing Joe Francis, just to make it go away. He got arrogant though and because of that Buzz thinks he deserves to go to jail. |
| 6:14
| Is there a way for Steve and Buzz to take over the Girls Gone Wild empire? Steve will have to talk to Mr. Skin about that. All you need is that name and you can roll up into any college town and start filming. He'll be in the hoosegow for a while, he might need to start selling off his assets. |

| Joe Francis is such a genius and now it's going to end like this? Physically threatening the lawyer of the underage girl's suing you for videotaping them? Steve's talked to Joe Francis in the past and offered to be an advisor. Sure would be on the bus enjoying all the nudity but he would be totally sober, so Joe could turn to him to keep things legal. There were so many other Girls Gone Wild locales that Francis never even got to. |

| Don Imus will probably end up on Sirius because that's where Mel Karmazin is. What else can he do? Steve and Buzz are going to be the only guys left on radio which is good for them. |
| 6:28
| So far no one has called them about taking over his slot. Maybe they should let things cool down a bit. |

| 6:36

| Steve didn't know he was from Indianapolis. No wonder he wanted to kill himself. Was he a Colts fan? Did he at least have that? |
| 6:41
| Steve recently read Slaughterhouse-Five again and it's really good. Sometimes when you're forced to read books like that in school you're so mad about it that you can't enjoy it. Plus sometimes you're too young to really appreciate it. |

| Steve feels like Oprah now rediscovering the classics. |

| Cook County Board president Todd Stroger didn't have the votes to approve his cousin as the county's finance chief, but that didn't stop him from having her name and title put on her office door. |
| 6:44
| It was pretty funny yesterday to hear Stan saying he voted for Todd Stroger. Steve said it was because he was black and Buzz agrees. Steve can't fault him though, he would have voted for a candidate if he was of Swedish decent, but only if he had silver hair. |
| 6:45
| American Idol contestant Sanjaya still hasn't been voted off the show. Apparently their ratings are down, but Steve's actually tuning in to see that Sanjaya guy. |
| 6:46
| Yesterday that Donny Deutsche guy was on with Matt Lauer. He was saying how the end of Don Imus means the beginning of the end for all sort of hateful people like him. Then he said people want more positive shows like American Idol. |
| 6:47
| Matt Lauer countered that American Idol is not a positive show and it isn't. It's all about dashing people's hopes. That Donny Deutsche is the biggest chach. |
| 6:48
| Yesterday's 2.9 inches of snow in Chicago set a new record for April. When is it all going to end because Steve can't take much more of this. He doesn't even go home any more, he goes straight to the tanning bed. |

| Earlier in the show Buzz fully endorsed a My Chauffeur limo for your first date. |

| Matt and Brendan don't have a show tomorrow because of the Bulls game so this is their Friday. Brendan doesn't even know what to call Matt any more. |
| 6:58
| Steve advised Matt not to take the hourly pay because of all the Bulls game. No need for thanks. Matt can have that advice in lieu of a birthday present. |
| 6:59
| Matt's birthday is Sunday but Steve still hasn't gotten the Evite for the party on Saturday. Buzz didn't get it either. They were both looking to roll up there for the party. |

| It's a $30 all you can drink special from 9:00-12:00. That sounds like a Mike Dahl special. Does he know what he's doing? They're probably going to be drinking gasoline mixed with 7-Up. |

| Last year Matt's party was at the 10 Pin bowling alley. They had a good time but there were a few problems with some for Matt's friends. Like the one kid who passed out because he drank too much, then the other kids came and wrote all over him, then posted the pictures online. |
| 7:02
| The kids who passed out will not be at the party. He should never be at any party ever again. What about that one kid with the Rastafarian hat who lectured Steve last year about how to handle the drunk kid? He spent the whole time drinking Martini's at the bar, he didn't even bowl. |
