| 2:02
| Steve and Buzz are at the United Center, but Buzz doesn't go on during the cross talk. |
| 2:03
| If Buzz isn't going to be on now Mark Zarang should turn off his mic. Mark's positioned behind Buzz like he's going to prison rape him. That's there set-up and that's how they want to do it. |
| 2:04
| Steve invited Stan and Terry to come broadcast with them this afternoon but Stan told him they had an important dinner and then he had to help Jeffrey with a science fair project. |
| 2:05
| Stan might need to prioritize things a little bit. Broadcasting with Steve for the afternoon is probably ahead of helping Jeffrey. |
| 2:06
| What kind of important dinner do they have? Are they meeting with people from WGCI and planning a work slow down? |
| 2:07
| The dinner is for black journalists, even though Stan isn't a journalist. He is black though. That's a good excuse not to go but the science fair is pretty weak. |
| 2:08
| Jeffrey's science fair experiment is which detergent does the best job at removing a cranberry stain. That sounds like an instant F. |
| 2:09
| They should have made it blood stains at least to make it more real. |
| 2:10
| Steve's not really mad at Stan and Terry but the dinner sounded like a contract negotiation pow-wow with their agent. |
| 2:11
| Stan and Terry want to be taken seriously within the African-American community of journalists. Who are the other ones? Ryan Baker? Art Norman? Warner Saunders. |
| 2:12
| Art Norman is a Q-Dog which is a black fraternity. Steve's not up on all the black fraternities. How does Stan know that though? |
| 2:13
| Stan was surprised to find out that Art was a Q. Most of the Q's are big dudes but Art Norman is not a big dude. Steve has wandered into Stan's weird homoerotic Bradley fraternity thing here. |
| 2:14
| Stan wasn't in any fraternities at Bradley, he's not joiner. Tom Joyner? He was a Q also but not until grad school. How does Stan know all this? |
| 2:15
| Good news, Drew Hayes is here so the broadcast can start. There are more people from the station than there are broadcasting. Jill from promotions walked in at quarter to 2:00 looking for Buzz. Steve told her to find him and she said she needed to get some coffee. |
| 2:16
| Jill's just here to get free coffee and talk to Drew, who's talking to someone else about how big the United Center looks when it's empty. Maybe that's an idea for a science project. |
| 2:17
| Steve's just kidding about Jeffrey's science fair experiment it sounds fascinating. Maybe he and Stan could come out to the house of the weekend and put on a demonstration. |
| 2:20
| Song: Woolly Bully, Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs |
| 2:22
| Get it Buzz? Buzz doesn't get it actually. Wow! Let's dial it in here Buzz. Steve just got Buzz out of almost a half hour of having to talk. |
| 2:23
| There might be something wrong with Stan. Is he autistic or something? He's like Rain Man. |
| 2:24
| How many photos is Adam going to take of Steve? He's going to be in pretty much the same position all day. Just for the record though, Adam and Carolyn are the only two people that Steve thinks should be here with him. There's no reason for Drew or Jill to be here. |
| 2:25
| There has to be something wrong with Stan though. Yesterday it was the decks and today it's the science experiment. That thing sounds like something a girl would do. Then there will probably be a lecture from Stan about drinking cranberry juice to prevent bladder infections. |
| 2:26
| Larry King is big on the cranberry juice. He looks like an alien now though. Buzz thinks he's stopped all of the cosmetic hair dying but he's always looked pretty weird. |
| 2:27
| Buzz once had breakfast with Larry King when he was living in Florida. His daughters were really hot. Buzz never got anywhere with them but some of his friends claimed they did. |
| 2:35
| Steve and Buzz are broadcasting from the Bud Light Legends Lounge at an empty United Center. It does look bigger when it's empty. |
| 2:36
| Steve noticed that we have a new voice for the station promos. Is that Drew's lover? Drew was in broadcasting he should know to pick up his own mic. Instead he's just sitting there waiting for Steve to come to him. He's not getting up until the hot dogs arrive. |
| 2:37
| Drew doesn't think Mark Zarang would treat Tom Thayer the way he's treating him. That's because Tom is a professional broadcaster. Drew just goes to bed every night with the Koss pro headphones on. |
| 2:38
| His wife loves the headphones since Drew doesn't have any hair on his head. He's got some hair and at least there's no comb over. Drew wants some credit for getting rid of the comb over. |
| 2:39
| Drew's never going to get credit for anything, doesn't he know that? He did used to have a comb over but never a toupee. The sidekick on The G-Spot has a toupee and he was outed by Stan during a recent show. We need to get Stan checked out. |
| 2:40
| While Steve has Drew here, he wanted to ask him about a commercial he just heard for a jet company. First of all, it featured a very weak read by a sales person who was dropping a lot of G's. If Steve's a jet company he's paying for those G's to be there. |
| 2:41
| Second, Steve's the guy who wants a jet, why isn't he part of this? Steve emailed Jen from sales about another jet company. He's not going to rest until he has one of those free jet cards. |
| 2:42
| Buzz just read something about how Princess Di was looking to date men based solely on their access to private jets. Hell yeah! |
| 2:43
| Drew thinks that Steve would want to fly the jet. This is where Drew takes Steve on his own journey and tries to set up a bit for him. Steve just wants to sit in the back of the jet in his underpants. |
| 2:44
| What's Dan doing right now, just sitting in Drew's office keeping his futon warm? |
| 2:45
| Steve's not trying to give Drew advice here, he's just trying to make fun of him. When Don Rickles makes fun of people they don't go up to him afterwards and thank him for the advice. Steve is just here to make fun until 7:00. |
| 2:46
| Drew heard Steve talking about the Stan and Terry negotiation dinner. It sounded like that's what they were going to but it's really some dinner for black journalists. Steve's invite was stereotypical since they're both black and he's broadcasting from the Bulls game. |
| 2:47
| As it turns out Terry really does know about basketball since he used to cover the Bulls for the Trib. Stan probably doesn't though, Steve can see him shooting free throws underhand style. |
| 2:51
| Buzz put on the feedbag during the last break. Buzz had a fabulous Chicago-style hot dog and Drew is halfway to eating his weight in chicken tenders. |
| 2:52
| Buzz would love a soft drink right now and Steve has access to the bar. That could be dangerous because there are several Bud products on tap. |
| 2:53
| Buzz orders up a Pepsi. He doesn't like Sierra Mist because it's not quite 7-Up. Steve only drinks 7-Up when he's sick so the rest of the time it reminds him of vomiting. |
| 2:54
| The Pepsi tap makes a funny noise. Steve might have to get one later just for comedic purposes. |
| 2:55
| Buzz once lived next door to a Pepsi bottler in Pennsylvania. He always kept their house stocked with Pepsi so that's when he developed a taste for it. Back then they didn't have Sierra Mist though. |
| 2:56
| Adam from promotions is going for a hot dog now. He really has eaten half his weight in chicken tenders. Now Mark is going to a dog and chicken tenders. Then he turns knob just to make it look like he's working hard. |
| 2:57
| Drew has locked the Bulls into a three-year deal so they'll be on the station next year. It's been great having the Bulls on this year because they're having a great season. |
| 2:58
| When Matt Dahl was negotiating for the evening show Steve ran the math with him. He had the choice of being paid by the show or salaried but Steve pointed out that he'd be better going salary because of all the Bulls game. |
| 2:59
| Neil Funk and Bill Wennington will be stopping by at some point today as well as Luke Stuckmeyer from Comcast. Steve doesn't mind having Drew, Jill, Adam and Carolyn at the broadcast but it's sort of weird. If he was back at WCKG it would be like they were in the studio. |
| 3:00
| Steve will be watching the game from the WCKG box. He only found out about it last Thursday on accident in a meeting. Drew, Jill and Jennifer were shocked that it had been revealed to him. |
| 3:01
| Steve's not sure who's been using the box all season but he'll be in there for the rest of the playoffs. It's probably been idiot sales people in there all year. |
| 3:02
| According to Drew it was sales people using the box but he won't call them idiots, he loves them all. He really is a corporate shill. |
| 3:03
| The WCKG box is on the second level. Drew's using his hot dog like it's a microphone. Check 1,2. We're the flagship station and we couldn't even get a first level box? |
| 3:04
| Whenever Drew's in the box he tries to block people from the dessert cart just to save the company a little money. |
| 3:05
| Drew needs to get some headphones so he can hear how far he is off-mic. It's driving Steve nuts although it's a short trip. He looks like Vegas Drew. |
| 3:12
| Steve apologizes to Buzz for the size of his beverage. Steve specializes in the big build-up when it comes to the size of things. |
| 3:13
| Buzz is enjoying the Pepsi because it's cold, but it's a tad too sweet for him. It's like working with Mariah Carey. Steve's going with a Diet Pepsi because he just had a hot dog. |
| 3:14
| Drew is down on the floor of the United Center, sitting in Neil Funk's seat. That's where Dan was that one time when he pretended he couldn't see Steve, who was also at the game, because he'd just had his pupils dilated. |
| 3:15
| Drew is at center court right now, what does Steve think? Steve thinks he's too short to play basketball. |
| 3:16
| Drew really shouldn't be on the court with street shoes. He could take his shoes off because he's got the nice Joseph A. Bank socks on. Steve likes to think of Drew with the knee-high socks on. Buzz is wondering if he goes boxers of briefs. Everyone knows it's a thong. He's got the Bulls pouch on today. |
| 3:17
| How are things working for the G-Spot? Things are looking up. |
| 3:18
| Buzz wasn't sure if the G-Spot was for the entire station or just Garry. Garry is the G-Spot, Steve is the S-Curve and Stan and Terry are the Brown Out. What are we going to call O & A? |
| 3:19
| How about the Out-of-Towners. When are they coming to town? Drew needs a name for Matt and Brendan too. How about The Kids? Or the K-Spot? |
| 3:20
| Steve feels like he's on stage at Second City with Drew hurling requests at him. "Say something funny about a blue Chevy!" |
| 3:21
| Steve's losing Drew's signal all of the sudden. Breathe in the silence Buzz. |
| 3:28
| Drew is still down on the court which means he's that much closer to the door. He can just take the mic home with him and bring it back tomorrow. |
| 3:29
| There's a player on court practicing. Drew wants to mic the court so we can hear the dribbling. What if he just keeps quiet so we can hear it. |
| 3:30
| Drew wants Adam to ask the player who he is. Steve would like to see Drew do it, just to see if he'd come up to his knees. |
| 3:31
| Brendan might know who it is. He's not here though. He's coming off a break where Buzz called in asking to talk to Pete. Brendan said "who's this." Good work on the voice recognition. |
| 3:32
| Steve getting Drew onto the court is like kicking him out of the studio, but it's in a huge arena. |
| 3:33
| Steve sees that Luke Stuckmeyer is here so he's going to take a break and then talk to him. |
| 3:40
| Steve just noticed that the word time in the Comcast Sportsnet open fades up at a really inappropriate time. John Castino should work on that but he's too busy cutting together a promo that features every on-air personality saying a different word in a sentence. |
| 3:41
| Why is Comcast choosing to promote the Cubs game, don't they have the Bulls game on? The Bulls are on the main channel, the Cubs are on Comcast Plus and the Sox are on TLN. |
| 3:42
| It doesn't seem fair that the Sox are on TLN. Whatever team has the better record should be on the main channel. |
| 3:43
| Pete says that they rotate the games when the Cubs and Sox are on Comcast. It's a big night for Comcast though. That means the Bulls and Cubs are in HD. |
| 3:44
| Basketball games look sweet in HD, it's like you're there. Buzz won't be staying for the game tonight because he's got stuff to do. Steve can't imagine anything in Buzz's schedule that prevents him from staying for the game. |
| 3:45
| Luke is wondering if Buzz has done his report on the history of basketball. He missed it, we just spent the last 90 minutes on it. |
| 3:46
| Luke still hasn't admitted that his stock has risen at Comcast since he's started talking to Steve and Buzz. |
| 3:47
| Steve thinks that Chuck Garfein has a weird color, does he use a spray-on tan? Steve tans during the winter for mental reasons but during the summer he walks through the neighborhood in the nude. |
| 3:48
| Luke's covering the game tonight and Stacy King will be on the sidelines. Tom Dore and Johnny Red Kerr are calling the game. What did Neil Funk call him? Doofus. |
| 3:49
| If you can't watch all the games on Comcast tonight, watch Sportsrise tomorrow. When Steve first started talking to Luke he was only doing Sportsrise. But he won't give it up that he's moved up since he started talking to Steve. Steve doesn't even want commission, he just wants credit. |
| 3:50
| He's like Matt Dahl. Matt thinks he would have gotten his show without Steve's help. Maybe, maybe not. |
| 3:51
| Steve is going with the fact that everyone is watching the Bulls game tonight. The Bulls need to watch out for Shaq tonight and they need to win because they don't want to lose home court advantage. |
| 3:52
| After tonight the Bulls play 2 in MIami, then one back here, back to Miami and game 7 would be back here if necessary. That means potentially 2 separate trips to Miami for Luke. |
| 3:53
| There are supposed to be 5 teams interested in trading to Lance Briggs with the draft coming up. Ron Santo is also feeling much better. |
| 3:54
| The Bears could use an offensive lineman but it's hard to tell who they'll draft, it all depends on if they're able to trade up in the first round. |
| 4:02
| Joining Steve is Neil Funk and Bill Wennington. Just so Neil knows, Drew was sitting in his chair earlier today. |
| 4:03
| Drew didn't really say anything except that he was in Neil's chair. He looked like Edith-Ann from Laugh In. |
| 4:04
| Neil brought his valet Bill Wennington today. As much as Neil makes fun of him, both he and Bill do a good job. |
| 4:05
| Shaq fouling out was a huge part of the win on Saturday. He's always had a lot of trouble with fouls against the Bulls. |
| 4:06
| Steve thinks the Bulls should have Hit the Road Shaq just for when Shaq fouls out. Neil and Bill brought their boss, Steve Schanwald up with them, he loves the idea. |
| 4:07
| Neil's just glad that Steve and Buzz are finally at the United Center. The only other time Steve has been here this year is when Dan had his pupils dilated and couldn't see him. |
| 4:08
| Steve will be staying for the game. As we speak he's trying to upgrade his ticket with Mr. Schanwald. Steve can stay in the Bud Light Legends Lounge or go to the WCKG box, which he accidentally learned about last Thursday. |
| 4:09
| Drew tried to play off the box like it was no big deal. He said they only have it for non-game days so it's not that exciting. |
| 4:10
| That game on Saturday was good from start to finish. Normally you can kind of just tune in at the end and see what's going on. |
| 4:11
| Steve thought it was weird that the Heat said they forgot it was a road game on Saturday. How do you forget that? |
| 4:12
| There are some NBA teams that carry themselves with a lot of cockiness and the Heat are one of them. |
| 4:13
| Steve thinks the Bulls will win the series in 5 but Bill thinks it'll go all the way to 7 with a Bulls win. |
| 4:14
| Steve takes back everything he said about Ben Wallace after Saturday's game. |
| 4:20
| Dwayne Wade said the Heat played game 1 like it was a regular game, not a road playoff game. It's pretty easy to figure out you're on the road when you get on the bus. Plus there's all the Bulls signage and it says NBA Playoffs everywhere. |
| 4:21
| It seems like everyone who lost the first game in the opening round of the playoffs has an excuse for why they didn't win. |
| 4:22
| In case any Heat players are listening, we're still in the first round of the playoffs. Neil thought it was really weird that the Heat flew home after the first game. |
| 4:23
| NBA teams have sweet planes, but Pat Riley is still putting them through 6 hours of flying. It's not the same as being at Gibson's. |
| 4:24
| Pat Riley might have been concerned that being in Chicago for too long would distract his players. Dwayne Wade is from here and the a lot of the other players have histories here. |
| 4:25
| Pat Riley needs to rethink his hairstyle though. Neil has never seen him more candid than he was after Saturday's game. |
| 4:26
| Neil has a live read he's going to do. We've got music behind him and everything. |
| 4:27
| Live read: Cheeseburger in Paradise |
| 4:28
| Neil and Bill have been to the Cheeseburger in Paradise in Secaucus, New Jersey. Did they get the big giant cartoon drinks? Neil wants Drew to send him $50 for that live read. He still owes him for the Great Clips sponsorship of his weekly segment. Does he need representation? |
| 4:29
| He won't get anything talking to Drew, he's just a corporate shill. He's a placeholder. You need to go higher than that. |
| 4:30
| Neil wants Steve to tell Bill that he wasn't beating up on his all season when he called into the show. Steve can see that they have a camaraderie. Neil says Bill is his valet as a joke but he really does need someone to pick up after him. |
| 4:31
| Steve can sympathize with Bill because he also has to take care of an older gentleman. Buzz probably calls Steve his personal valet, at least at home. |
| 4:32
| Steve and Buzz get along really well but they don't have to travel together. Traveling is fun but by the end of the season you're pretty sick of each other. |
| 4:34
| Do Neil and Bill get the same treatment as the players because for Steve that would be the best part of being a professional athlete. |
| 4:35
| After 9/11 they sort of changed the policy about luggage. You used to be able to just leave your bag outside of your room and it would end up in the next city but now you have to carry your own. |
| 4:37
| The first thing Neil and Bill do when they get to the stadium is eat. Then Neil goes to tape the pre-game show with Scott Skiles. |
| 4:38
| It seems to Steve like Scott wouldn't always be in the mood to talk about the game. He understands that it's part of being the head coach. |
| 4:47
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 4:48
| Today Buzz is making the "free, free, free" noise and it's sweet as hell. Buzz is trying to get the photo of the ugly baby from his screensaver. First he has to go past the guy who's snorting coke off a glass table. |
| 4:49
| Buzz has a picture of a guy doing coke mixed in with pictures of Piper on his screensaver. Does he have that on there just to drive Steve nuts at live remotes? |
| 4:50
| The casino in New Buffalo is opening in July and if the guy Steve knows from the Bears games has his way, a strip club will open shortly thereafter. |
| 4:51
| Steve would like to see them go all-nude with no liquor at the strip club because he doesn't drink any more. |
| 4:52
| The last time Steve and Buzz were at a strip club it was in Vegas. Spike Manton was there though and he's Mr. No-Fun. He converted to Judaism and he keeps Kosher and he wouldn't even get a lap dance. |
| 4:53
| Steve's getting paid to go to that Atlantis strip club sometime soon. They'd probably be glad to have Buzz too. |
| 4:54
| If Buzz gets paid he'll have to go to the strip club. Steve will try to work something out. |
| 4:55
| Atlantis has a private VIP entrance which is perfect for Steve. He's supposed to go next week but he hasn't heard any promos for it. |
| 4:56
| It's funny to be in a meeting with Drew and Jen and they're asking him how much funny money he needs at his appearance. |
| 4:57
| Steve was thinking that he would ask for more money instead of more funny money. That way he could give the strippers real money. |
| 4:58
| Buzz is welcome to come along with Steve or he can just go by himself. Buzz has never found a reason to go to a strip club by himself. |
| 4:59
| Steve had a few things worked out in the sales meeting last week but sometimes things that are said in there don't actually happen. |
| 5:00
| We should probably take a break and then do some news before they open the doors to the Legends Lounge and all hell breaks loose. |
| 5:06
| Buzz was very distressed when they took the chicken tenders away but they were replaced with a huge tray of them. |
| 5:07
| Steve keeps getting an email from a girl who says he's pronouncing Schaumburg wrong, particularly the burg part. Berg or burg, there's only one way to say it. |
| 5:08
| Jeff Schwartz is coming up in a few minutes with the 24 Report. He's probably kvetching already because he hasn't been on yet. |
| 5:09
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 5:10
| Steve doesn't get this live read but he doesn't want David Hochberg calling him to explain it. |
| 5:11
| David was complaining because he had to go to the Billy Joel concert with his wife last night. |
| 5:12
| Steve saw footage of that show, even Billy Joel didn't want to be there. He was halfway off his piano bench. |
| 5:14
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 5:15
| There's a prison riot in Indiana, or at least there was one. 2 guards were hurt. |
| 5:16
| Dennis Kucinich has suspended his call for impeachment proceedings against Vice President Dick Cheney while he was in the hospital getting his blood clot checked out. |
| 5:17
| Can they impeach Cheney? Do the Democrats have a majority? Steve doesn't even care any more. |
| 5:18
| The Luvabulls are practicing right now on the court and they're wearing capes for some reason. Perhaps it's a tribute to Batman, they're filming that movie in Chicago right now. |
| 5:19
| There was actually a fire on the set of that movie earlier today. It wasn't for the movie though. |
| 5:20
| A Virginia woman who works for an escort service is claiming she was hired by Cho Seung Hui last month. |
| 5:21
| The woman said she initially thought Cho was nice but then got creeped out by him and left. He wasn't scared during her time with Cho and didn't see any firearms. |
| 5:22
| Why are the Luvabulls practicing now? Steve doesn't really get the Luvabulls. He likes them but it seems like they're not being used properly. |
| 5:23
| The Luvabulls don't really come out until the end of the game, which is usually the most exciting part. It seems like they'd be better off coming out at the beginning when it's not as exciting to whip the crowd into a frenzy. |
| 5:31
| Jeff very cleverly got himself a sponsor so he had to do a segment every week. Kudos to him. |
| 5:32
| Jeff just wanted to make fun of 24 today, that's how bad it's getting. Or he could talk about cicadas. |
| 5:33
| Steve couldn't even make it through the entire episode last night. Jeff's favorite part was when Ricky Schroeder commandeered that vehicle on the expressway. |
| 5:34
| Jeff recalls the death toll of the bomb being 20,000 earlier in the season but three times last night they said it was 13,000. Is Drew giving Jeff tips on minutiae? It's worked for Stan and Terry. |
| 5:35
| Jeff can talk about other TV shows. He's pretty sure he already told Steve this but that Sopranos episode on Sunday might have been the best one ever. |
| 5:36
| As far as Steve is concerned the season ended when Jack hung that terrorist in the warehouse and said "say hello to your brother". Buzz can't believe Keifer Sutherland signed off on all this garbage. |
| 5:37
| Keifer must be wanting to get in that one girl's pants because there's this whole plot line to bring her back on the show. Jeff is just wondering when Audrey flew back to the US. She must have been on the same flight as Jack. |
| 5:38
| Just a reminder, Steve doesn't care about any of this. Jeff will let Steve go because he's in a beautiful place right now and he should enjoy his time. And cherish your family too. |
| 5:39
| Jeff is driving Sue nuts with all this cicada stuff. He delayed an entire landscaping project because cicadas damage new shrubbery. |
| 5:40
| Is that why Jeff got mad at the landscaping people? It's like the time he got mad at the guy from the Porsche dealer because he wouldn't disconnect the seatbelt light on his dashboard. |
| 5:41
| Jeff needs to get himself a job. And whatever notepad he's writing stuff down on, he needs to throw it away. |
| 5:42
| Jeff can do next week's report about Dancing with the Stars. He's actually never watched the show. Steve only watches it for that hot dancer who's partnered up with that Yoko Ono kid. |
| 5:43
| Steve can't watch John Ratzenburger of the one-legged chick dance though. |
| 5:44
| When did Pete stop using the ticking clock sound? He actually thought things were going along swimmingly. |
| 5:45
| If this segment isn't cancelled by next week Steve's quitting. |
| 5:52
| The Vice President did start making out with his chief of staff last night, that was sort of hot. In order to be really hot though 24 would have to be on FX. |
| 5:53
| Live read: Balance for Life |
| 5:54
| Steve has been eating balance all day. He started with chicken tenders then had a hot dog to balance it out. Then he worried that he didn't have enough chicken to be balance for he had some more. Then he had another hot dog to balance out. |
| 5:55
| Steve's sitting in the seats of the Legends Lounge watching the team warm-up and looking at all the signage around the stadium. |
| 5:56
| There's a Free FM sign but what does Free FM mean? Shouldn't there be one that says Steve Dahl Show? Steve Harvey has a sign for his show and his station doesn't even carry the Bulls games. |
| 5:57
| The guy who came up with Free FM was fired for all of his bad ideas, but CBS is still executing most of them. Penn Jilette and Jim Cramer are gone but Free FM remains. |
| 5:58
| No one from the station is here any more. Jill just left, probably to find a suite with fresher food. |
| 5:59
| They just brought a whole new menu of food into the suite. Buzz hasn't had a chance to fully peruse everything but he sees some salads, some Italian beef and some more chicken tenders. |
| 6:00
| Buzz loves the chicken tenders. He's dipping them in honey mustard but Steve has been putting some BBQ sauce in the honey mustard for his dip. |
| 6:07
| The Legends Lounge is quite nice. They've taken 3 or 4 penthouse suites, knocked the walls down and made a sweet lounge. |
| 6:08
| This is very similar to Steve's digs at Soldier Field. Buzz feels he's traveling in the wrong circle. He needs to be with the well-to-do gentlemen. |
| 6:09
| Buzz regrets that his mic isn't wireless because he hasn't been able to tour the entire lounge. There's one behind him but he has to do the news. |
| 6:10
| Benny the Bull is here which means Steve has to get lost. Benny and Buzz are having their photo taken. Buzz asks to not be touched. Does Steve need to come back there? Is Buzz being manhandled? Buzz has his headphones off. What happened? Steve had Buzz's back for this but Buzz didn't have Steve's back. Buzz was mad about getting a bobblehead from Benny and now he can't wait to open it. Steve's willing to be molested for one. |
| 6:11
| Steve got spanked and kissed by Benny and he got some beads. He didn't even have to pull up his shirt to get the beads either. |
| 6:12
| Buzz has changed his tone on Benny, he wants him back now. When he came in he scared Mary, who was working at her computer. She looked like she was going to call the cops on him so he moved on to Steve. |
| 6:13
| Then Steve exited the area and he was all over Buzz. This is a very slimmed down Benny too. |
| 6:14
| Steve might want that bobblehead because he has a collection in his office. Buzz doesn't want to give it up though, even though Steve had his back and got spanked and given beads like a chick. |
| 6:15
| Steve has several bobbleheads in his office including Jack from Jack-in -the-Box, a Big Boy and Judd Sirott, former voice of the Chicago Wolves. |
| 6:16
| Is Buzz going to try to pass the bobblehead off as a Christmas present for Piper or does she have a birthday coming up? |
| 6:22
| There are a bunch of little fellers in the Legends Lounge. Steve saw one of them and wanted to give him the Ben Wallace figurine, but then he saw the other ones. There are enough for all of the kids but they'll cost the parents $25 each. |
| 6:23
| Steve thought he saw 4 little kids but there are only 3. The fourth one was Adam who either looks like a kid or a child molester. |
| 6:24
| Steve would rather just stay in the Legends Lounge for the game. He can only imagine what ungodly things are awaiting him in the WCKG suite. It's probably full of people he's been avoiding around here for the last year like drunk sales people who want to tell him off. |
| 6:25
| Adam says there are a few clients in the suite plus Mitch Pink, AE. Steve can use him as a drink holder. |
| 6:26
| We've got a hard end at 7:00 tonight. There's no pre-game it just starts right at 7:00. |
| 6:27
| Steve's a little worried that since he's not there to start the ending theme he won't be able to do his patented lead-up to the music post. What time does Pete have in the studio. |
| 6:28
| Pete has 67...wait that's not right. He's really flustered because Tina just came in to tell him that Drew came down to remind her about the hard end. Drew is really irritating. |
| 6:29
| He came by at the beginning of the show to make sure everything was plugged in and working. People had already been there for hours setting up. When it is 6:30:45 exactly Steve wants Pete to tell him so he can start his watch up again and synchronize everything. |
| 6:30
| Pete gave Steve a warning at 6:30:15 but then the next one came at 6:30:35. That's so like him. Then he didn't even do the countdown right. |
| 6:31
| There are a lot of guys in Member's Only jackets filing into the Legends Lounge trying not to make eye contact. |
| 6:32
| Buzz wonders if this is how the Navy Seals synchronize their watches. Hopefully not. |
| 6:33
| Steve is all locked up with the time, he should be good to go. He probably could have done all this during the break but it's a great time-waster. |
| 6:41
| As it turns out Steve and Pete didn't need to do all that synchronizing because his computer has the correct time. Mark Zarang also has the correct time. Pete and Steve are not synched up any more. |
| 6:42
| Steve's going to spend the rest of the show trying to figure out what time it is just so everyone knows. |
| 6:43
| Mark says that there's a half-second delay when talking to Pete. That's probably what went wrong with the 24 Report. It's hard enough talking to Jeff in real time but it's worse when he has a half-second on you. |
| 6:44
| News with Buzz |
| 6:45
| There's something on Mark's page about Scott Skiles getting into a fight with Shaq 10 years ago when they were on the Magic. |
| 6:46
| Shaq sort of missed in his punch and ended up getting Skiles in a headlock. That's what happens when you're fighting someone 4 feet shorter than you. That Scott Skiles was a pretty tough guy as a player. The short guys always have the Napoleonic complex. |
| 6:47
| The prison riot in Indiana is officially over, it's been quelled. |
| 6:48
| Roger Ebert has said he will attend his annual Overlooked Film Festival in Chambana this weekend. He no longer needs a walker to get around. It's pretty courageous that he's doing that. |
| 6:54
| Steve doesn't want to distract Pete because he's getting ready for his 6:57:07 cue. He's hunkered down right now but Steve and Buzz will be ready. |
| 6:55
| Pete will be amazed at the way Steve and Buzz transition from normal conversation to the heard end. Right now they're doing player intros and that's Tommy Edwards back as the PA guy. Did he have Ray Clay whacked or something? |
| 6:56
| Steve will be heading down to the WCKG suite to watch the game and talk to some clients. Buzz sends his regrets but he has a gig to practice for. He should be talking to clients but he has to rehearse. |
| 6:57
| It was really good to meet Neil Funk and Bill Wennington. They do a good job calling the game and as it turns out they're tight as ticks. |
