| Terry Armour wouldn't even fit into the cockpit of a Blue Angel. Terry takes offense to that because he's trying to lose weight. |
| 2:02
| Steve's just trying to lighten the mood since Stan decided to end his show with a segment on airplane disasters. Steve wouldn't fit in the cockpit either, does that make Terry feel better? Then we'd hear about what size flight suit Stan wears. |
| 2:03
| Steve enjoys a good fly-by though. Imagine what it must be like if a Blue Angel is whizzing by you in combat. |
| 2:04
| Steve didn't celebrate Earth Day, he was at that Escoffier dinner. His grill is out of service because they're redoing their deck. |
| 2:05
| Stan's wondering what will happen to Steve's gazebo. Stan says it gazaybo though. We don't say it that way. Also, Steve doesn't really care about the gazebo. |
| 2:06
| Steve's getting a new deck but it won't match the gazebo. The gazebo will probably get new screens on the window or something like that. |
| 2:07
| Steve can't get caught up in all the details of the deck, it's time-consuming and it leads nowhere. |
| 2:08
| Steve has been talking to the Weber people and he's getting himself a Summit 650 with the infrared on the back. |
| 2:09
| Steve paid for his new grill but he likes to have a guy from the factory come out and set it up. |
| 2:10
| The old grill is broken and Steve has fixed it in the past but at some point he can only do so much. He doesn't have the proper tools to fix it this time. Steve's giving the old grill to Janet's sister. |
| 2:11
| At some point the gazebo and the deck and the fence will match because they're made of the same wood. They'll all age naturally. |
| 2:12
| Stan doesn't think he'd be OK with naturally aged wood because it wouldn't age at the same time. Does Terry know his partner is totally insane? |
| 2:13
| Terry actually left the room, used the bathroom and then came back while this conversation was going on. Stan was still leaning back in his chair when he came back talking about deck staining. |
| 2:14
| Stan would probably get some redwood stain and redo his fence and deck and gazebo at the same time. |
| 2:15
| A simple yes from Stan would have gotten everyone out of this conversation. Terry has actually left his studio and is now seeking refuge in Steve's studio. |
| 2:16
| Steve understands what Stan is saying about the matching colors though. At some point he can't worry about all this stuff though. |
| 2:17
| Maybe Stan can just come over some time and look at Steve's deck and tell him how bad it looks. |
| 2:18
| Stan might want to loosen his dew rag next time he's working on his deck. Stan comes from a family of craftsmen so he takes pride in his deck. |
| 2:19
| Caller Dave has some info about deck finishing. Did he mean to call Stan and Terry's show because Steve doesn't want this on his show. |
| 2:20
| Song: Clothes Line, Little Charlie & the Nightcats |
| 2:24
| That song was not for Earth Day. Buzz was actually stunned to learn yesterday was Earth Day during the cross talk. |
| 2:25
| What are you supposed to do on Earth Day, go to a concert at the Lincoln Park Zoo that's powered by generators? Steve went out to a hotel in Schaumburg and had a really fancy dinner. |
| 2:26
| Buzz's tux is on the way but Steve got to wear his yesterday at the Escoffier dinner. There weren't too many at the dinner but Steve feels the ones who were there were digging him. He doesn't have any notches on his belt to prove it though. |
| 2:27
| Steve has a medallion and a plate to prove that he's a member of the Escoffier Society. Buzz wants to see how the medallion hangs around Steve's neck. He could probably wear it for the day. |
| 2:28
| The one guy who was in here from the Escoffier Society and didn't know Steve gave him the medallion, followed by a kiss on each cheek because it's French. That guy now loves Steve too. |
| 2:29
| Chef Hans was honored with a lifetime membership to the Escoffier Society. Steve actually got to see an entirely different side of Chef Hans. He's sort of like the Steve Dahl of Chicago chefs. |
| 2:30
| Steve really only gets to see Hans when he comes in here once a week and says crazy stuff. Yesterday he got to spend 5 hours at dinner with him. Just as Steve guessed he was seated in between Hans and Jesse White, who he also enjoyed talking to. |
| 2:31
| When Steve arrived at the hotel for he dinner Hans was in the bar so he got to talk to him for a few minutes, which was good. Hans seemed surprised that a.) Steve was there and b.) he was dressed nicely. Steve started with club sodas but then dialed it up to Diet Coke. |
| 2:32
| Steve doesn't go to a lot of formal functions because they require a pretext and a pretense that he can't ever develop. |
| 2:33
| Steve was actually at the head table with Hans and Jesse White and a bust of Escoffier which they serve dinner to. Steve enjoys a little pagan idolatry so that was nice too. |
| 2:34
| Jesse had a sash on which looked sweet. Steve's new goal is to get one of those Napoleonic sashes. |
| 2:35
| Once Steve got past how weird the whole thing was he had a really good time. Sitting next to Jesse White for 5 hours is a real hoot. |
| 2:36
| Steve originally thought this was a secret society where guys go and smoke cigars and get hookers. It's probably better that it wasn't because he can do that on his own. Plus people won't be watching what's going on. For some reason he thought it would be like a scene from Eyes Wide Shut. |
| 2:37
| For the entire dinner Steve thought about how mad is brother would be at him. Rick went to culinary school but then here's Steve being inducted into the Escoffier Society. |
| 2:38
| At the end of the dinner all of the new members had to get up and talk about what they thought of the dinner. Steve wanted to get up there first but ended up being the third person to talk. |
| 2:39
| The other two people had the benefit of a few glasses of wine and they started commenting on how good certain dishes were. Steve probably could have said what he likes on his pizza but he didn't want to be disrespectful. |
| 2:40
| Steve probably could have said that the dinner was so good that he didn't want to get up there and start being a smart-aleck. He did mention that he was a recovering alcoholic and didn't have the benefit of any wine. |
| 2:41
| There was another Swiss gentlemen on the other side of Hans who Steve talked to throughout the dinner. He understood about half of what he said but Hans had to translate a lot of it. Then the other guy and Hans started talking about German girls and it all had a Nazi feel to it. |
| 2:46
| Jesse White travels with a driver and a security guard who is a State Trooper. Steve recognized them from the last time Jesse was here. The last time Steve mistakenly referred to him as a Secret Service guy. |
| 2:47
| The driver and the guard were in the corner of the room eating cheeseburgers, which initially seemed very appealing to Steve. Every course of the dinner is very small and it lasts for 5 hours. |
| 2:48
| Even at the beginning Jesse said they'd have to stop at McDonald's on the way home. As it turns out there's a reason why they serve it to you the way they do. When you're done you don't feel like such a fat pig, although Steve did have Jesse's date's veal. |
| 2:49
| Live read: Cheeseburger in Paradise |
| 2:50
| Every time Steve does this live read he gets distracted waiting for the background singers in the karaoke version of Cheeseburger in Paradise. |
| 2:51
| The dinner started off with the Hommard Creme Brule, followed by the Lobster Salpicon. There's a guy who announces each dish and he has a French accent so he really sells it. |
| 2:52
| Next was oxtails rendered in it's own stock but there was no wine with that course. At some point Hans took his soup bowl and tilted it up to get the rest of the food. |
| 2:53
| The best part of the dinner is that every one eats with their napkin tucked into their shirt. Steve loves doing that because otherwise he gets stuff on his shirt. |
| 2:54
| So far all of the dishes were very small and that's when the burgers came out for Jesse's guys. Things started to heat up with the fish course which was sea bass. Steve didn't say "kick his ass Sea Bass" but maybe Jesse did. |
| 2:55
| After that was the sorbet which is your intermezzo or palate cleanser. Hans was very surprised that Steve knew intermezzo. That comes after your fish course. |
| 2:56
| It was a blood orange sorbet but the portion was very small. Steve could have eaten 3 big ass scoops of that. Even after that Steve looked over at the security guards wondering if he could get some fries. |
| 2:57
| Then they brought out the veal. Steve would have been fine just eating his own by Jesse had his date's veal coming to Steve whether he wanted it or not. Steve told Jesse they couldn't share food because they'd get thrown out but apparently they don't care about that stuff. |
| 2:58
| If your napkin is stuffed in your collar they probably don't care if you're sharing foods. |
| 2:59
| After the veal they brought out the salad which is the French way to do it. Hans kept making sure Steve liked beets, which he does. |
| 3:00
| After the salad they brought out the cheese course. Steve has had brie in the past and never knew what to do with the outer skin. Apparently you're supposed to eat it. |
| 3:01
| Dessert was a chocolate souffle with hazelnut sauce, which was also very good. Steve was going to cut out of there after that but he had to give a speech. |
| 3:02
| Steve ended up leaving around 9:40 so it was about 5 hours worth of eating. After Steve's speech all the other chefs start getting up there and giving speeches and crying about how great of a job the hotel's chef did. |
| 3:03
| Hans Jr. did not make it to the dinner last night and Hans wasn't too happy about it. |
| 3:04
| Steve learned a lot about Chef Hans last night, like his wife was buried in Switzerland. The other Swiss guy asked Hans about it, but Hans thought he was saying "married" so there was a little back and forth about that until Steve intervened to translate. |
| 3:05
| Steve also learned that Hans has a daughter and she's going to massage school in Chicago. |
| 3:13
| Live read: Invent Help |
| 3:14
| The dinner last night was weird, but cool. He was ready to get out of there by 9:40 though. It did feel like he was involved in something that he shouldn't be involved in, which was cool. |
| 3:15
| Steve felt pretty good about his tux and it looked good although he had a small emergency yesterday when he lost one of those black studs that goes on his shirt. |
| 3:16
| There was a lot of confusion here on Friday with the tux so one of them probably disappeared. Steve still went with the cufflinks even though they didn't match anything on his shirt. |
| 3:17
| Steve's looking forward to going next year now that he has a tuxedo. Buzz finds it funny that Steve predicted he would end up in between Hans and Jesse White. |
| 3:18
| Buzz thought he was just saying that for comedic value but Steve thought it out in his head and knew that's how it would end up. For the most part it was a sausage fest on Steve's end of the table, except for Jesse White's date. |
| 3:19
| Since there weren't any other women around Steve he was able to do things like tilt his soup bowl up to get everything in there. Once he put the napkin in his shirt though he knew he'd be alright. |
| 3:20
| If you fly first class on American they give you a linen napkin that has a button hole so you can affix it to your shirt. Steve gets a lot of grief for doing that but apparently one of the main rules Escoffier had was the napkin in the shirt. |
| 3:21
| Steve really appreciates Chef Hans inviting him to join. It worked out great for Buzz too because he got a new tux. Plus maybe next year he'll be invited to join. Then he'd really have something to hold over his gourmand buddy. |
| 3:26
| On Saturday night Steve was out to dinner at a place that has music at 9:00. The restaurant is in the back of a store which is apparently a very hip thing to do these days. |
| 3:27
| At 9:00 an elderly blues man set up shop with a mic and an amp and started playing. Steve knew he recognized the guy but couldn't figure out who he was. |
| 3:28
| As Steve was leaving he asked the women who owns the place who the guy was. It was Jimmy Burns. Steve went up to say high to him but he didn't recognize him at first. |
| 3:29
| As far as Buzz knows Jumpin' Willie Cobbs is still missing. Also over the weekend Steve got an email regarding Jumpin' Willie Cobbs. He doesn't know enough about the blues to dispute the claims made in the email so he's just going to read it. |
| 3:30
| The email starts off "for your information" which seems a bit harsh. According to him the Jumpin' Willie who's missing is not the WIllie Cobbs who wrote You Don't Love Me. That's his cousin. |
| 3:31
| The guy is writing from Belgium and his name sounds French or maybe Belgian so how much does he know about the blues? Although if he's living in Belgium and listening to the show and he's writing Steve this email there's a good chance he knows what he's talking about. |
| 3:32
| Jumpin' Willie and Vicky are probably road trippin' it right now like Tony and Paulie Walnuts. Buzz thought that was the end of Paulie Walnuts last night but he lives on to fish another day. |
| 3:38
| Steve wants to know how the guys on The Sopranos keep getting hot chicks to show up everywhere. It's probably some sort of service right? |
| 3:39
| Caller John is a drummer on the blues scene. There's a guy named Jean Pierre LeCoque who's the leader of a blues band called Mississippi Heat. Is he the guy who wrote Steve? |
| 3:40
| Buzz knows Jean Pierre LeCoque, we're not talking about the same person. How does Buzz remember that but he can't pronounce Venezuela? |
| 3:41
| Caller Joe is in Lakeview but he's a Sox fan. He wanted to let Steve know that French guys who live in Belgium are referred to as Walloons. |
| 3:42
| Joe has won the bonus prize, but there's no prize sheet in here. It's probably still the Steve Dahl Restaurant Tour though. |
| 3:43
| That really paid off for Joe even though the call was about something that Steve didn't really care about. It's OK though because Joe is a Sox fan. |
| 3:44
| That was a tough loss last night, it would have been nice for the Sox to sweep that series in Detroit. |
| 3:45
| Apparently the Sox and the Orlando Magic were in the same hotel in Detroit and were woken up by a fire alarm at 6:00 AM on Sunday. Some of the players became fast friends and several of the Magic players were at the game on Sunday. |
| 3:46
| The Sox and the Magic at the same hotel, that's a one-stop sports slut paradise. You gotta think a Detroit Lion will wander through there on occasion just because he knows that's where the sports sluts are. |
| 3:52
| On the phone is Dan Jiggetts from Comcast Sportsnet. Buzz doesn't have his script but it's being delivered to the studio right now. |
| 3:53
| Lt. Governor Pat Quinn is coming on Chicago Tribune Live today to announce that tomorrow will be Gayle Sayers day in Illinois tomorrow. |
| 3:54
| Buzz has his script. Tomorrow is game two of the Heat/Bulls playoff series. |
| 3:55
| Steve ended up getting caught up in the Bulls game on Saturday. It was one of those rare games that's good from beginning to end. |
| 3:56
| Chicagoans love to see their team go up against one that Pat Riley is coaching. Plus they've got Dwayne Wade and Shaq. |
| 3:57
| The Bulls are a very different team than they were last year when the played the Heat in the playoffs. |
| 3:58
| The Sox had a chance to sweep the series in Detroit yesterday but they blew it in the 9th. The Sox did that a lot last year, leaving the last game on the table, and by the end of the year it really adds up. |
| 3:59
| And there were what, 200 runs in the Cubs game yesterday? Was there a jet stream going from home plate to the outfield? |
| 4:00
| Tonight the Cubs are hosting the Brewers. Carlos Zambrano is taking the mound and the last time the Cubs played the Brewers he tried to compliment the Red and it ended up being a back-handed knock on the Brewers. |
| 4:01
| Dan is predicting a big game for Zambrano tonight. He predicted a big game for Buehrle last week and look what happened. |
| 4:02
| Steve and Buzz are broadcasting from the United Center tomorrow in the Bud Light Legends Lounge. |
| 4:03
| It'll just be Steve and Buzz tomorrow, talking basketball. Buzz can report on the history of the game of basketball. |
| 4:10
| As Steve mentioned before the break he and Buzz will be at the United Center tomorrow from the Bud Light Legends Lounge. |
| 4:11
| Steve has some tickets to giveaway for the game and winners will be able to join him and Buzz in the Legends Lounge from 5:00 until game time. |
| 4:12
| When you hear Shaq foul out from Saturday's game be the 10th caller and you win a pair of tickets. |
| 4:13
| Steve also has tickets to give away for the Arlington Park broadcast that will also be triggered by a drop-in, this one from Seabiscuit. |
| 4:14
| Steve wrote about that in his blog today but he couldn't remember the exact quote from the movie. He wanted the drop to be "see ya at the finish line Georgie" as said by Toby Maguire. That wasn't during a race though, it was still in the gates. Pete thinks we should use that one. |
| 4:15
| ABC has some thing they're doing now with playoff cheerleaders. It's a way to get people who don't have teams in the playoffs to still tune in. But the cameras don't stay on the hot chicks long enough. |
| 4:16
| The contest to name's Steve horse is also still going on at 1059FreeFM.com and Dahl.com. You don't get anything for voting which seems like a bit of a flaw. |
| 4:17
| The promotions department here makes things very complicated. You think they're taking notes but those are never reflective of the conversation. Then they talk about something so far in advance that you think it's already done and gone. |
| 4:18
| Buzz knows firsthand because he got drawn into something with Steve's upcoming tour with The Nadas. The promotions department had contracted Buzz and his band to open for Steve and The Nadas. |
| 4:19
| Steve only intended for Buzz to come on stage while he was playing with The Nadas. It's already a 2 hour show, how are they going to fit all that in? |
| 4:20
| Steve had a meeting with Drew and the promotions department last Thursday and Drew said he'd handle things with Buzz. Steve didn't want Drew to handle things because he knew he wouldn't be able to do anything. |
| 4:21
| Of course today, an hour into the show Drew told Buzz that his band wouldn't be playing at the gig which sent Buzz into a fit. |
| 4:22
| God knows what Drew told Buzz too. He probably told Buzz that Steve doesn't want him and that he hates the blues. |
| 4:23
| Steve's going to Iowa this weekend to rehearse with The Nadas and he'll have something worked out for Buzz. |
| 4:24
| Steve never told the promotions department that Buzz and his band would be opening for him. That's going to turn it into a three hour show, people will be throwing chairs at him. |
| 4:25
| Drew "taking care of it" is the worst ever. All Steve heard was Buzz yelling "now I'm out money!" It's all worked out now though, it's gonna be sweet. |
| 4:26
| Steve would like to have a carrot to dangle in front of the people to get them to vote. When Steve looked over the weekend he saw that only 33 people had voted. |
| 4:27
| Apparently there is a carrot to dangle in front of people. Everyone who votes gets entered into a random drawing to win tickets to the Arlington broadcast. |
| 4:28
| Steve has a lot going on so he didn't realize that. Everyone around here is very busy trying to promote The G-Spot. Steve didn't even know guys had a g-spot. |
| 4:29
| There are only 33 votes for the first name. Steve doesn't even get dressed to talk to 33 people. |
| 4:30
| People can also stop emailing Steve new ideas for horse names, we have the entries. One guy got mad at him because he wouldn't accept his name. It's a contest rule you moron! |
| 4:33
| The number of votes for the horse naming contest have skyrocketed since Steve complained about it. |
| 4:34
| Steve has all the behind-the-scenes information with this text messaging program. They're up over 97,000 on that Grizzly Jack's giveaway. |
| 4:35
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:36
| There was a hostage situation in Houston today. The gunmen and two hostages were killed. |
| 4:37
| Virginia Tech students have no begun issuing statements asking the media to leave their campus. Buzz saw NBC do five full minutes on it at the top of their broadcast last night. |
| 4:38
| Rumors are circulating that Katie Couric's tenure at CBS is coming to a close. According to an unnamed source within CBS everyone knows that except CBS. |
| 4:39
| What does that mean? Buzz just likes to hate Katie Couric, isn't that it? Because if CBS doesn't know it's over, it's not over. |
| 4:40
| Sheryl Crow is advocating the rationing of toilet paper to keep things green. When did she become in charge of wiping Steve's butt, just out of curiosity? |
| 4:41
| She also got into an argument with Karl Rove at a dinner on Saturday night. It was actually Crow and Larry David's wife, who's one of the producers of An Inconvenient Truth. They told him that he works for them and he said he works for the American people. They are American people, although he doesn't work for them he works for the Republicans. |
| 4:42
| Sheryl Crow is calling for people to use one sheet of toilet paper per visit. Steve can't live with that. Maybe she should just concentrate on having fun. |
| 4:43
| Steve doesn't see how this is news but there's Sheryl Crow on CNN right now. Karl Rove doesn't really come off looking that bad either. If they wanted to make fun of him they should have talked about his comb over. |
| 4:44
| The man behind Girls Gone Wild wept after a judge told him he could face another three weeks of jail. |
| 4:45
| He's in trouble for contempt of court and allegedly bribing a jail guard to get him Zanax and Lunesta. Steve and Buzz of course recommend Ambien. |
| 4:46
| The Ambien really helped Buzz out on Saturday. After he got home from the Mexican restaurant with Aimee he fell asleep in his chair, he calls it falling asleep. |
| 4:47
| Buzz woke up at 3:45 AM, not drunk and pretty much ready to start his day. He took an Ambien and he was sleeping by 4:30. |
| 4:53
| It's Blue Monday, did someone just remember to play the Blue Monday rejoins or have we been doing it the whole time? |
| 4:54
| Pete just remembered to put the blues rejoins on there. He didn't want to avoid it completely because Buzz worked hard to pick those out. How about a little heads up before the radical shift? |
| 4:55
| Live read: Balance for Life |
| 4:56
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 4:57
| The Gierczyk's might be coming by tomorrow during the game. Maybe they can hook Buzz up with a place up there so he and Steve can do all the things they enjoy like wake boarding and 30-40 mile bike rides. |
| 4:58
| Steve wants to finish off this Sheryl Crow thing. You gotta think her and Larry David's wife set this whole thing up for this kind of outcome. |
| 4:59
| Karl Rove is a jerk. He's the mastermind behind all of this craziness. You're not going to get the upper hand on him at a dinner. |
| 5:00
| A witness recounted seeing Sheryl Crow and Karl Rove talking. After a while he started to look annoyed, probably because he realized he wasn't going to get any. |
| 5:01
| It seems very low to tell a civil servant "remember you work for me" in an argument. Try saying that at the post office, they'll probably shoot you. |
| 5:02
| Steve wouldn't want to date someone who only uses one sheet of toilet paper. Buzz wouldn't be able to get that out of his head. |
| 5:03
| Sheryl Crow has also invented a dining sleeve, which goes over your normal sleeve so you can wipe food on it during dinner. |
| 5:04
| Maybe she's just joking about all of this. It doesn't seem like she's doing the trees any good. |
| 5:05
| People already use handkerchiefs, do we need napkin sleeves? If you don't mind wadding up your own snot in your pocket maybe you'd use this thing. |
| 5:12
| Buzz can identify all the blues songs in the rejoins but everything sounds the same to Steve. That's because he doesn't have a trained ear. |
| 5:13
| Steve just filled up his car today and it cost him $68. It doesn't seem like the price of oil per barrel has gone up but they're attributing the cost increase to changing over to the "summer blend". |
| 5:14
| The most disturbing thing for Steve today was that his Mobil Speedpass didn't light up the little Pegasus. He didn't go in because he doesn't want to deal with the people who work there. |
| 5:15
| Caller Stefan just won himself two tickets to join Steve and Buzz at the Bud Light Legends Lounge tomorrow. |
| 5:16
| Stefan is not bringing any hot chicks with him. C'mon man! It's gonna be a sausage fest! |
| 5:17
| Stefan's probably bringing his dad so it'll be a father/son thing, which is cool. Buzz knows all the Luvabulls anyway so they should be OK. |

| 5:19
| David left a whole part out of this live read but it must have carried over from Friday. David is not Steve Dahl, he needs to stop doing the Steve Dahl impersonation. Let Steve be the radio guy and David should stick to loaning money. |
| 5:20
| David wastes a lot of words per live read with aphorisms like "if your knee hurts you call an orthopedic surgeon." Those words could be spent explaining why the guy in this live read needs another loan. |
| 5:21
| If David is listening maybe he could call in an explain all of this. Steve can't really take the aphorisms out because he doesn't have anything to replace them with and fill the live read. |
| 5:22
| David is on the phone. Is he hanging out at a Cracker Barrel now? These aphorisms make him sound like Andy Griffith. |
| 5:23
| Steve would like to see the live reads be a little more self-contained. Maybe he could preview the next day's live read at the end of every live read or something. |
| 5:24
| Is David doing this on purpose just so he had a reason to call in? Or is this a Jeff Schwartz idea? |
| 5:25
| Jeff and David are a partnership from hell. |
| 5:33
| Before the sports Steve has a Steve Dahl Show Special Report about Joe Francis. |
| 5:34
| Live read: My Chauffeur |
| 5:35
| Over the weekend Steve wrote a column for the Trib about limousines. He submitted it and it was accepted exactly as is. |
| 5:36
| Buzz will be taking a My Chauffeur limo to the United Center tomorrow. Just a reminder, the limo will be in front of his house but he might not be able to see it from the kitchen window. |
| 5:38
| Dateline Panama City, Florida. Ironically Joe Francis is in prison there where he did some of his best work. |
| 5:39
| According to Joe Francis' lawyer he's been cut off from the medication that kept him sane and he is kept up at night by a light in the hall that they won't turn off. |
| 5:40
| So far that doesn't sound that bad. At least he's not being raped. If Steve were in prison his only goal would be to not get raped. |
| 5:41
| His lawyer said Francis won't break down in prison, although he broke down on day one. |
| 5:42
| In another cell in the solitary confinement area was convicted murderer Robert Bailey, who kept Francis awake every night shouting "Girls Gone Wild, WOOOOO!" It's like Ronnie Woo-Woo, if Ronnie was a cop killer. |
| 5:43
| According to his lawyer Joe Francis suffers from an anxiety disorder. Prison will do that to you. |
| 5:44
| If Joe Francis is on Zanax it's really hard to quit that stuff cold turkey. His lawyer should have brought that up at some point. |
| 5:45
| On one day Joe Francis missed the medication cart with his Zanax because of a lawyer visit, which sent him into a full-blown attack. You can get Zanax in prison? That doesn't sound so bad as long as you're not getting raped. |
| 5:46
| It has to be really weird for Joe Francis to be in jail in Panama City, the city of some of his triumphs. |
| 5:47
| Buzz doesn't have any sympathy for Joe Francis, he brought his on himself. You gotta pay those girls off and then get back on the bus and start partying. |
| 5:54
| Live read: Balance for Life |
| 5:56
| Steve brought Buzz in a Balance for Life muffin but it was eaten by Mary the Muffin Thief. |
| 5:58
| Caller Mark won two tickets for the Bulls game tomorrow. He'll be bringing his son tomorrow, not a hot chick. |
| 5:59
| Steve can't really get in the way of a nice father/son moment can he? |
| 6:00
| Song: More Than You Can Know, Pico vs. Island Trees |
| 6:04
| For some reason that song dropped out in the middle, it must have been Steve's computer hiccupping. It's not your radio, no need to take it back to the dealer. |
| 6:05
| Steve has an Apple and it's been working great but his headphone jack only has one channel. He can't really take it in to get fixed because he needs it everyday. |
| 6:06
| Normally Steve would just buy a new computer but he's trying to avoid doing that. |
| 6:07
| On Saturday Steve went to Oak Brook Terrace to get his glasses fixed. The Lens Crafters there is really fancy and it's right next to the Mario Tricoci. |
| 6:08
| Steve's glasses were totally cock-eyed but the girl fixed them up. She was so nice that Steve felt compelled to buy a new pair of glasses. |
| 6:15
| Caller Matt won tickets to the Bulls game tomorrow. He's probably bringing his son too. Does Steve look like a priest?! |
| 6:16
| You can't deny taking your son to the playoffs, at least in the first round. Steve and Buzz will be with the Bulls all the way to the Finals. He wouldn't be surprised if he's playing on the team by then. |
| 6:17
| Time for some sports |
| 6:18
| The Bulls are preparing for their second playoff game against the Heat and Pat Riley has said his team needs to contain Luol Deng. Duh! Pat Riley really needs a new haircut. He looks like Michael Douglas in Wall Street. |
| 6:19
| Kirk Hinrich was fined $25,000 for throwing his mouth guard into the stands after his fourth foul. |
| 6:20
| Hinrich said it fell out but he clearly threw it into the crowd. |
| 6:21
| Mark Prior is likely to miss the rest of the season to have shoulder surgery. It seems to Buzz that he should have had surgery years ago, he might be pitching now. |
| 6:29
| Caller George won two tickets to the Bulls game tomorrow. |
| 6:30
| George will be the only one there with a hot chick so he should hold on tight. |
| 6:31
| Apparently the first thing George told Stephanie was that he was bringing a hot chick to the game with him. |
| 6:40
| We'll be using music from Hoosiers tomorrow for Buzz's big report on the history of basketball. Does he want to do it live or taped? |
| 6:41
| Steve and Buzz will be covering the Bulls by themselves tomorrow. They handled the Bears just fine plus there will probably be people from the team stopping by at some point. |
| 6:42
| The less Steve knows about something the better off he is. He held himself back a little bit at the Bears convention just because he knows a lot more about football. |
| 6:43
| News with Buzz |
| 6:44
| Today was the first day back at class for thousands of Virginia Tech students. Most of the students have agreed to stay on and finish the semester. |
| 6:45
| Former Russian president Boris Yeltsin is dead at the age of 76. That's not the guy who had the birthmark, he was before Yeltsin. Yeltsin is the guy who looks like your crazy Polish uncle. |
| 6:46
| Thousands of Iraqis protested a concrete wall built to protect a Sunni neighborhood in Baghdad. Buzz had a feeling this would happen. |
| 6:47
| Canadian defense minister Gordon O'Connor is being asked to resign over allegations that Afghanis detained by his country were tortured. Steve thought Canada was his beat. Get it? Beat! |
| 6:48
| Buzz isn't sure why but he just turned his mic off in the middle of this story. He had his finger on the button and he just hit it. He does that sometimes and he doesn't know why. |
| 6:49
| Hillary Clinton is being accused of adopting a Southern accent while giving speeches in the South. So what? Barrack Obama is all of the sudden very schtreet when he gives speeches in certain places. |
| 6:50
| President Bush welcomed the Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts to the White House today. The team presented him a jersey and a cowboy hat. Why a hat, because he's from Texas? |
| 6:51
| Mark Czerniec is pushing this David Halberstam death but Steve has no idea who he is. |
| 6:52
| This is exactly why Mark and his wife don't live in the city, it's because people aren't smart. |
| 6:53
| Halberstam covered the Vietnam war and wrote the book The Best and the Brightest that documented the architects of that war. Steve picked that book up because he thought it was about him but once he realized it wasn't he stopped reading. |
| 6:54
| It's a good thing everyone read that book and didn't get involved in another Vietnam-like conflict. |
| 7:01
| Is the news over? Steve's going to bring Matt and Brendan in because they always have cogent thoughts about current events. |
| 7:02
| Buzz had one last story he wanted to read. A department head for CDOT has been suspended for making racists remarks at employees and putting a red table cloth on his head and calling himself a grand wizard. |
| 7:03
| Does the KKK do red robes? Steve thought it was only white. |
| 7:04
| Matt and Brendan are not on tomorrow because of the game but Steve got them tickets. He's not sure if they can come to the broadcast though. |
| 7:05
| Matt wanted to come to the broadcast to support the Steve and Buzz. The Bulls have been very tight with passes to the Legends Lounge. Once the playoffs start the leagues get involved and tend to be very tight with stuff like this. |
| 7:06
| If Matt keeps asking though Buzz will probably just give him his pass so he won't have to come in at all. |
