| 2:00
| Terry's taking a limo out to the Hollywood Boulevard screening tonight but he's going alone because Stan doesn't want to. Stan says he was never asked. |
| 2:01
| And that's the end of the bit. If Steve were teaching a radio class this is where he'd stop the tape and point out what went wrong. |
| 2:02
| In this bit the Stan character should have just gone along with what the Terry character was saying, that he'd never been asked to take a limo out there. |
| 2:03
| Terry was actually lying, he knew no one asked Stan but still if Steve was teaching a class he'd say that Stan should have gone along. Then off the air you have a big fight about Stan not being asked. |
| 2:04
| Stan would like to save a limo for an important occasion like an awards ceremony. Steve doesn't think Stan will ever get an award, although neither will he. |
| 2:05
| Stan thinks Terry will come off as highfalutin if he shows up in a limo to this movie screening. He's in showbiz though, it's OK. If Stan were still working at Johnson Controls and showing up in limos it would be weird. |
| 2:06
| Terry took a limo to the live remote he and Stan did in Utica at the Grand Bear. Then Stan spent the entire time lecturing Terry about it. |
| 2:07
| The thing that Stan might not be in touch with here is not wanting to give up control. Steve had that problem too when his car was in the shop. After a few minutes you settle in though. |
| 2:08
| Steve likes to drive to the airport though because flying is the ultimate loss of control. After a long trip where he's flying and in a rental car, he likes to get behind the wheel of his own car. |
| 2:09
| Limos don't really have a highfalutin stigma any more. Kids rent them for prom and homecoming all the time. |
| 2:10
| Stan is worried that he and Terry would be taking Steve's limo tonight. What's wrong with him? It's like he was just emancipated last week or something. My Chauffeur has hundreds of limos. |
| 2:11
| Steve would like to see Stan get a load on as they head out to Woodridge. |
| 2:12
| Stan sounds like the black Wally Phillips, he needs to loosen up a bit. For sure. |
| 2:13
| Stan needs to loosen up a bit but Terry needs to straighten up too. It's good that there's a little yin and yang on the show but sometimes they can both be in the middle. |
| 2:14
| Terry's 45, if he doesn't straighten up he'll be dead by 46. It'll probably be in the back of a limo though with Stan lecturing him for eating the entire sack of 10 White Castles. |
| 2:15
| Standby, Garry is checking in from The G-Spot. He wants Steve to tell the story of the time they were in San Francisco in a limo with Wayne Williams. |
| 2:16
| Wayne owned a company called Challenger Limo and this was right after the Challenger exploded. They had a lot of time to kill and they killed it. Then Steve asked Wayne to take them on the "crookedest street". Then Steve just kept shouting crookedest over and over. |
| 2:17
| After that Wayne took them to Boz Skaggs restaurant. In general he did any crazy thing Steve asked him to do. Then later that day they got on the cruise ship that took them up to Alaska. |
| 2:20
| Well that was an interesting little thing there, it was good to hear from Garry. Steve might have left out a couple of details from their Challenger limo ride but you can pretty much guess what they are. |
| 2:21
| Once Steve gets the liquor in him that's when the really crazy ideas start coming out. |
| 2:22
| Wayne Williams was also the name of a mass murderer in Atlanta and that had also just happened when Steve and Garry were in San Francisco. Greg Solk might have also been with them. |
| 2:23
| Pete finds it funny to imagine Steve yelling "crookedest" while driving down Lombard Street. Steve remembers coming down pretty hard once he got to the cruise ship and passing out for a couple days. |
| 2:24
| It's good to have Garry around to remember some of these things. Usually it's just Dan who remembers this stuff and in those stories Steve ends up looking like an idiot. |
| 2:25
| In that limo situation Garry was sort of like how Stan is. Stan is a lot worse though, Steve doesn't even know where he's coming from with this limo thing. Limos aren't a big deal any more, people take them to the airport all the time and kids take them to the prom. |
| 2:26
| Steve understands why Terry would want to get away from Stan though. Stan was really fun in Mexico when he had a few cocktails in him, but he wouldn't admit he was drunk. |
| 2:27
| Everyone else had fun with Stan being drunk though. He just kept saying random things and then denying he said them. He was also feeling sorry for himself because he was on the trip alone. |
| 2:28
| Steve's not trying to be mean to Stan and Terry but basically all he did when they were on this show was give them beat downs. They need to learn to give each other beat downs but in a fun way, not a mean way. |
| 2:29
| Steve's happy to be a beat down specialist though and Garry knows how to do it as well. Garry sort of helped Steve get out of that bit with Stan and Terry. A lot of the times you can't get out of a bit with Stan. |
| 2:30
| That Hollywood Boulevard place is really nice and they have good food. The owner is a bit of a film buff which is sort of freaky to Steve. He has a lot of weird artifacts like Carole Lombard's panties or a hanky owned by Clark Gable. Steve can't really talk movies like that. |
| 2:31
| Steve did a few things with the theater but he never really rose to the level of movie freakdom. Steve doesn't really go see a lot of movies and he doesn't want to cry in front of people or laugh so hard that he hurts himself. |
| 2:32
| Pete has had some of those experiences when he sees a movie by himself. Plus he had a Pee Wee Herman incident as well. |
| 2:33
| The last time Pete was at a movie by himself he had his pop and his popcorn. Is that the popcorn with the hole in the bottom of the container? That's why it's good to always carry a Swiss army knife. |
| 2:34
| Pete was about to dig into his popcorn when he spilled the entire container all over the ground. It was too late to go get some more so Pete just sat there for the whole time staring at the popcorn wondering if he should just eat some off the ground. |
| 2:35
| When Steve wants to go see a movie in the theaters he goes to the Yorktown premium theater. They only have 30 or 40 seats and they're all big leather chairs. |
| 2:36
| They only charge $15 for a ticket although Steve feels they should raise it to $25 to weed out some of the undesirables. $15 isn't much more than a regular movie ticket. |
| 2:37
| Stan and Terry should take a limo out to Woodridge tonight though. People will like seeing the two of them roll out of a limo. Otherwise Terry will take a limo and Stan will get out of his red BMW station wagon after executing a display of his parallel parking abilities. |
| 2:44
| How does Steve get hooked up with the Bluestar Jet people? They're running a lot of commercials and Steve seems like the guy they're looking for. |
| 2:45
| Pete thinks Steve should get Drew on it. Drew did have the commercial changed so the voice over person pronounced her G's. |
| 2:46
| If Steve had a jet at the ready he'd probably use it to fly to Des Moines for the weekend. |
| 2:47
| The Bluestar people don't have to be afraid of Steve. You can always approach him with stuff he likes. |
| 2:48
| Steve doesn't mind driving to Des Moines though. He'd like to find a map that lists various fast food places that he doesn't normally have access to. If one of those maps doesn't exist Steve would like to be the inventor of it. |
| 2:49
| Des Moines is pretty much straight across from Chicago on 80. When Steve drove from LA to Chicago he drove through Des Moines. |
| 2:50
| Steve left LA and stopped in Vegas to watch the 1975 All-Star game. He can't remember his next stop but he spent a night in Des Moines. Can you make it from Vegas to Des Moines in one day? |
| 2:51
| Steve stayed in a circular-shaped Holiday Inn in Des Moines. Then he spent the night leafing through the phone book for girl's with the last name of Dahl hoping he'd get laid. It didn't pan out for him though. |
| 2:52
| Steve knew he didn't have any relatives in Des Moines but he figured it would be a good way to find a sympathetic girl if he told them he was looking for a relative who lived in town. Eventually Steve stopped calling because all of the women he was talking to were old and it was sort of creepy. |
| 2:53
| Then as Steve was driving through Chicago he had a chance to hear Larry Lujack. He'd always heard about Larry Lujack and then he finally heard him and didn't get what the big deal was. |
| 2:59
| Steve really hates Larry Lujack. His only regret is not clocking him the day he came into the studio when Steve was on the air. He's a miserable son of a bitch. |
| 3:00
| OK, it's time for Pete's Music Snob Corner. This is a special all-Swedish edition of Music Snob Corner. No one at home listening knows all the other songs on the list, just Pete and Steve. |
| 3:01
| In Pete's mind he's put together an all-Swedish edition but really it'll just be one song. |
| 3:02
| Peter Bjorn and John top the list. Pete has mentioned them a few times and they're doing a show at the Empty Bottle soon. |
| 3:03
| There aren't even any funny band or song names on the list. Every time Steve discovers comedic possibilities in this segment Pete takes them away. He pulls the rug out from under him and the rug really holds the room together. |
| 3:04
| No one will ever see this list except Pete and Steve. Steve might withhold the CD from Pete just to teach him a lesson since there are no funny names on the list. Sometimes Steve throws the CD out and Pete comes in and takes it out of the garbage. |
| 3:05
| What's the point of doing an all-Swedish edition anyway? Pete wanted to play the Peter Bjorn and John song so he did an all-Swedish edition. |
| 3:06
| Pete has developed a lot of Jeff Schwartz tendencies. He overthinks everything. What he needs to do is get himself a black girlfriend like Jim kid. Jim doesn't overthink anything, he's just at a perfect level of existing. Maybe Jim can hook him up. |
| 3:07
| Pete always sees attractive women up on the 11th floor at WBBM-AM. He should sit on their desk one day and introduce himself. Pete always wants to talk to someone up there but they always seem very busy. He should tell them he's featuring all Swedish bands in his segment today. |
| 3:08
| Pete doesn't think that people around here recognize who him or know that he works for Steve. Everyday when he comes in and walks by Stan and Terry's studio, Bonnie has a different person answering phones for her. It seems like everyone of them has a sense of entitlement. Steve feels like he's tapped into something here. |
| 3:09
| It seems like Bonnie has a different boy toy answering phones for her everyday and the kid always looks like Pugsly from the Addams Family. Is it a good idea to have a different person answering phones everyday? How can that new person know what to feed Stan and Terry everyday? |
| 3:10
| Breaking news, tonight's Sox game has been postponed. Mary's in-laws were going to use Steve's tickets tonight and they've probably already left their home because they live in Minnesota. Actually they live near Woodstock but that's pretty far. |
| 3:11
| The producer's area for the Stan and Terry show is sort of in the way. Steve feels it's a fire hazard but he doesn't want to drop a dime and risk losing his personal studio. |
| 3:12
| So the people are mean to Pete on his own floor? The sales girls at WBBM-AM seem a bit haughty but all the on-air people are nice. Steve recognizes all of them because their pictures on on the wall in the elevator bank. |
| 3:13
| Pete got in the elevator today carrying all his tapes and a really cute girl walked in behind him. Automatically Pete was nervous because there was a woman in the elevator with him and he'd have to make small talk. Then the girl asked him if he knew where to get a VHS tape. She handed it to him! He should have stopped the elevator, dropped all the tapes and started having sex right there. |
| 3:14
| Pete does look funny carrying all those VHS tapes at once. She laid it right out there for him, she probably had her skirt up and Pete's giving her tips on where to buy VHS tapes. Next time Pete sees the girl in that situation he should say "you're right I gotta get a life. I work for Steve Dahl, he's a moron. Wanna go out?" |
| 3:22
| Is Buzz still here or did he leave? Because this is getting old with Pete. Not really. |
| 3:23
| Live read: Cheeseburger in Paradise |
| 3:24
| Steve expects Pete to sing refrain to the chorus so he doesn't have to pay attention. |
| 3:25
| The tapes today were about Europe and Scandinavia. We got a little too far from the Swedish theme and Pete's list of 20 songs. You never know, something could happen in Sweden or Andersonville and Steve might need another song to play. |
| 3:26
| Peter Bjorn and John are playing at the Empty Bottle in May. Steve would prefer to go to a place called the Full Bottle. |
| 3:27
| Song: Objects of my Affection, Peter Bjorn and John |
| 3:30
| The Nadas are listening and they would have gone with the Peter Bjorn and John song Young Folks. The one Pete picked was OK but it was a little too long for his liking. |
| 3:31
| It was perfect for Buzz though he loves this new schedule. Buzz can probably come in now because Pete won't clam up. He just threw down an hour and a half with Steve. He's got the sales girl hunk and then the Stan and Terry intern hunk. |
| 3:32
| Whenever the interns ignore Steve he just think they're in awe of him. Pete probably can't do that though. Buzz thinks Pete is a major player here and the interns might also be in awe of him. He's been here almost as long as Steve has. |
| 3:33
| The interns never talk to Steve but Bonnie talks to him too much. Everyday she's got some new short, fat kid with a Mo Howard haircut. Buzz thinks when Pete walks by the interns they whisper to each other that he's Pete, the guy who gets the sound for Steve. |
| 3:34
| When Pete first started working here he would do anything for anyone. Buzz remembers how friendly he was. Kids are different these days though, there's not as much civility. People have their iPods and their cellphones and they think other people care what they have to say. |
| 3:35
| Pete might just be mad that he blew his chance with the sales girl in the elevator. If he wants to do a Cyrano de Bergerac thing, Steve is glad to help. He could have been there whispering to Pete to drop the tapes and tell her that she's right, he needs to get a life. |
| 3:36
| Steve got a Google map of restaurants on the way to Des Moines and it doesn't look like there's anything except McDonald's. |
| 3:37
| Steve asked Ed, who told him he might already have a map like that if he has Google Earth. Even if Steve does have it, he's supposed to be handed stuff! |
| 3:38
| There's a place called Kum 'n Go which is just a gas station with a coffee shop attached. There's also a Montezuma Medical listed under the fast foods. |
| 3:39
| It doesn't seem like there's anything too exciting between here and Des Moines so Steve will just take some speed and drive straight through. |
| 3:45
| On the phone is Pat Boyle from Comcast Sportsnet. The Sox game has been canceled for tonight. |
| 3:46
| They Sox only play Detroit another 14 times or something so they'll be able to make it up. It seems like it's clearing up a bit downtown though. |
| 3:47
| The Sox have a few guys nicked up so it'll be good to get a day off. They really missed Thome and Dye in the line-up last night. They almost won in the 9th, the Tigers closer walked in two runs. |
| 3:48
| Brian Anderson had a chance to win the game but he didn't come through. He's probably talking to a realtor right now. |
| 3:49
| To be fair, the Sox won't play Anderson everyday because they're mad at him or something. Last year the Sox didn't have a plan B but he did pretty well in the second half. Now they have Darin Erstad. |
| 3:50
| The Cubs are off today but they're playing the Cardinals this weekend. Didn't they just play the Cardinals? Is that the only team they're playing? |
| 3:51
| Despite the Cubs record, their starting pitching has actually be really good except for Carlos Zambrano. |
| 3:52
| And it's not surprise about Mark Prior. Steve's can't believe he didn't die on the operating table. Now he's getting $3.75 million this year to not pitch. |
| 3:53
| That's different than football where there's no guaranteed money. If you're hurt, you don't get paid. That's what this Lance Briggs thing is all about. |
| 3:54
| There's still a good chance Briggs will get traded before draft day but Angelo doesn't have to do anything. Briggs could sit the first 10 games but then he'll be out about $4 million. |
| 3:55
| Most football careers only last about 7 years so it's hard to make up that money. Of course if he does play and he has a bad game everyone will think he's goldbricking it. |
| 4:00
| Pete just put up a drop of Lovie talking about Lance Briggs but it's labeled "Lovie, Lance, Tooth, Bulls" |
| 4:01
| Pete had a few sports cuts on there. One of them is Lou talking about why he blew off his post-game press conference on Monday night. He said he misses the media like a toothache. Steve would like to hear all the audio. While Pete readies it he and Buzz can listen to the TV in his studio. |
| 4:02
| Pete has turned the TV volume down in his studio. Another funny bit that he's taken away from Steve. It was actually audio of Charles Thomas on ABC talking about those two kids who were stabbed and killed. We probably don't need to hear that after all. |
| 4:03
| So Steve's driving to Des Moines tomorrow night and he couldn't find any good fast food places along the way. He'll just take some speed, drive all the way through and hope the hotel has full room service when he gets there. |
| 4:04
| The Nadas said there's really nothing between here and there but a bunch of people called in with suggestions anyway. |
| 4:05
| Caller Sheri drives for a living and Steve and Buzz make it a lot easier. Sheri drives around filling up those crane machines with stuffed animals. Buzz can't believe those things ever need to be filled. |
| 4:06
| Sheri is recommending Dairy Joy in HInckley. It's just off I-80 in a pretty rural area. That might not be far enough from Chicago for Steve to be hungry. |
| 4:07
| Caller Russ is a long time fan but he's not that big. His suggestion is Belgian Village Inn near Moline, they make a gigantic Reuben sandwich. It's a little far off the road though. |
| 4:08
| There's also an ice cream place across the street called Whitey's that must have opened before the Civil Rights movement. |
| 4:09
| There are still guys nicknamed Whitey though. Buzz calls Steve Whitey all the time but he thinks he's black. |
| 4:10
| As it turns out, Brendan worked at a Whitey's in Iowa City. That's perfect. Did he ever meet Whitey? |
| 4:11
| Brendan lived right above the Whitey's so he figured it would be good to get a job there. That explains Brendan's overdeveloped forearms, he's like Popeye. |
| 4:12
| That sounds like the perfect set-up, Buzz wonders how that scene fell apart. |
| 4:13
| Brendan started skipping classes to take the day shift because it was so easy so he eventually had to quit. It sounds like a great way to get chicks back to your apartment too. |
| 4:14
| Caller Jim is recommending the Machine Shed right off I-80 in Davenport. Steve was thinking of stopping there and getting a davenport for the living room. |
| 4:15
| The Machine Shed makes breaded and fried pork sandwiches and it's right off I-80. Davenport is probably the point in the trip when Steve will need a pork sandwich, it sounds perfect. |
| 4:16
| You can get a breaded and fried sandwich or a thicker grilled sandwich. You can get BBQ sauce on there too, they make it anyway you want it. |
| 4:23
| Most of the bad weather has already gone through Chicago. Plainfield mayor James Waldorf, inventor of the Waldorf salad, said a storm with tornadic winds turned over cars in the parking lot of a nursing home. |
| 4:24
| An off-duty deputy in Bolingbrook spotted a funnel cloud "earlier" today. Can he be more specific? |
| 4:25
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:26
| It escaped Steve's mind that he should do the Gierczyk live read. |
| 4:27
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 4:28
| OK, now back to Buzz in the headline room. |
| 4:29
| A war funding bill passed in the House yesterday but President Bush has promised to veto it if he has the chance. It's a war-funding bill that has a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. |
| 4:30
| Bush doesn't need any war funding though. He's too busy dancing to care about that. |
| 4:31
| Steve would like to go back to Brendan as an employee at Whitey's ice cream shop. Steve wouldn't want Brendan scooping ice cream for him or his kids. |
| 4:32
| Brendan never ran into that problem but occasionally he'd screw up while making a milkshake and it would splatter everywhere. As it turns out Brendan's been a jerk for a long time. He's well-schooled in the art of jerking. |
| 4:33
| Bobby "Boris" Pickett, who gave us the Monster Mash is dead at the age of 69. No! |
| 4:34
| Actor Hugh Grant was arrested for hurling a tub of baked beans at a photographer. Why did he have a tub of baked beans? Was that like a big can or was it like a take-out container? |
| 4:35
| Hugh Grant was arrested after allegedly hurling a can of beans at a "snapper" and kicking him repeatedly. Snapper must mean photographer, although he's had problems with snapper in the past. |
| 4:36
| A freelance paparazzi approached Hugh outside his Chelsea home. The paparazzi was on the same street taking some photos of Elizabeth Hurley. They live on the same street? Isn't she married? If Steve was her husband he wouldn't want to live on the same street as Hugh Grant. |
| 4:37
| As Grant was allegedly assaulting the photographer another one snapped pictures of the incident. Then Grant went back into his house, hurling a tub of baked beans at the photographer. Who has baked beans in the morning? |
| 4:38
| Last night detectives arrested Grant and questioned him about the incident. He was fingerprinted, photographed and gave a DNA sample. He's probably given that sample all over town. |
| 4:39
| Caller Jason wanted to let Steve know that baked beans and toast is a classic British breakfast. |
| 4:40
| Elizabeth Hurley was married last month in India. That's probably why Hugh Grant was upset. He had a perfect set-up and then she goes and marries some Indian dude and moves away. |
| 4:41
| Hurley and her husband were married in a lavish ceremony in Jodhpur, India. A Hindu religious activist filed a complaint saying the wedding mocked Hindu customs. Who do you file that complaint with? |
| 4:42
| Tabloids in India and England carried a story shortly after the wedding which said the groom's father had cut off ties with his son after he was thrown out of the wedding at Hurley's urging. |
| 4:52
| Steve just got some disturbing news during the break. The hotel he's staying at in Des Moines ends room service at 8:30. Who checked on that Tina or Stephanie? Because if it was Tina we need to check again. |
| 4:53
| Tina's not even from this planet so she would accept 8:30 without asking any more. Steve's paying several hundred dollars per night for this hotel that can't be right. |
| 4:54
| Steve loves Tina but he investigative skills when it comes to him at least suck. 8:30 is insane. Steve might not be able to go because he'll be hungry from 8:30 until 6:00 AM. |
| 4:55
| Steve's not going to order a pizza either, it's funky to bring one into your hotel room. 8:30 can't be right. Maybe they close the dining room at 8:30 but even that is too early. |
| 4:56
| Apparently they don't have a kitchen at the hotel. What the hell kind of hotel has Steve booked himself into? |
| 4:57
| There are two pizza places and other places open until 2:00 AM nearby. Is someone going to get that food for Steve at least? |
| 4:58
| Steve might just make The Nadas bring him food all night long. He might feel like some mac and cheese late at night. |
| 4:59
| The hotel stops serving all food at 8:30. Don't they have time to build a kitchen before Steve gets there? |
| 5:07
| Caller Jerry wanted to let Steve know there's a casino on the east side of Des Moines near the amusement park. |
| 5:08
| The casino is about 15 minutes from downtown which is perfect. Jerry hasn't been there in a while but he heard that they have slots and table games plus it's connected to a race track. |
| 5:09
| The manager of the hotel said that there are a lot of restaurants in the area that are open late and deliver so it should be OK. |
| 5:15
| Chef Hans is here, back from Taiping and ready to rock ya. Hans has so many stories to tell, including the Escoffier dinner. |
| 5:16
| Hans brought a shirt and a magazine from his trip for Steve. The first two pages of the magazine are quite interesting. |
| 5:17
| Steve's having trouble getting Chef's music to play. The settings on the board are all messed up. Ironically the engineers were in the studio today fixing stuff. |
| 5:18
| Hans was in Taipei, as he's finally calling it, to promote U.S. beef and Smith & Wollensky. |
| 5:19
| Hans sold out 2 weeks straight in Taipei, there was a vaiting list. Vaiting? Hans apologizes for his accent. That's the whole bit. Can Steve not make fun of the accent any more because he sold out 2 weeks of presentations? |
| 5:20
| Hans went ahead and autographed the magazine for Steve, which is creepy. It's just as creepy when Steve gets something autographed to him from Jim Peterik. |
| 5:21
| Hans learned his signature from Chef Louis Szathmary. The H in Hans is made into a smiling faced chef. |
| 5:22
| When Hans was leaving his hotel in Hong Kong he saw a guy who he thought was Steve. Steve did want to go but Buzz had to restrain him. |
| 5:23
| The guy was actually a fan of Steve's, his name is Jeffrey Rodriguez. Does Steve look Hispanic to Chef? |
| 5:24
| Hans took a picture of the guy but he said it's still at the developer. Who still has their photos developed? What kind of camera is Chef working? |
| 5:25
| The guy apparently gets mistaken for Steve all the time. People always come up to Steve and as him if he's still on the air. |
| 5:26
| Hans seems to be going wherever he wants today so Steve's going to try to follow him. |
| 5:32
| Hans was on an American radio station in Taiwan. It used to be the armed forces network but now it's just a regular station. |
| 5:33
| Hans also met Todd Fleischmen while he was over in Asia. Fleischmen? The margarine king? |
| 5:34
| Steve heard this story on Sunday and he didn't understand it then. Hopefully he'll do better this time. |
| 5:35
| Todd was vacationing in Mikonos and he gave his card to a very beautiful woman. She said he should date her niece. Then he never heard from her. |
| 5:36
| In December the woman, who's from Palos Heights, came to Florida where Todd lives. This week Todd is up here and he's going to dinner at S & W. |
| 5:37
| Steve feels like he's listening in on a phone call with Hans and someone else. |
| 5:38
| So this guy was having breakfast with Hans, Hans told him he was from Chicago and that's why he told him the story. Steve gets it now, although he's not sure it's broadcast quality. |

| 5:46
| Live read: Atlantis Gentleman's Club |
| 5:47
| Steve does have Donovan's Atlantis for this live read but it might not be appropriate. |
| 5:48
| Steve's going to to Atlantis next Tuesday or Wednesday. If you're going to be there that night that's fine but don't come up and talk to Steve. |
| 5:49
| Who would want to talk to Steve when their are nude women on stage? Steve doesn't want to talk to the kind of guy who would rather talk to him than watch naked women. |
| 5:50
| The grand opening of Atlantis is next Tuesday so that must be when Steve is going. Hopefully this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship. |
| 5:51
| Steve has been looking for a gentlemen's to base himself out of. That's the one thing that's been missing from his empire. |
| 5:52
| Hans wonders if Steve will wear the tux to Atlantis. On Sunday he said Steve was stunning in his tux. |
| 5:53
| Now that Steve is a member of the Escoffier Society he can invite Buzz to next year's dinner. |
| 5:54
| Now that Hans has mentioned Buzz Steve has to invite him. That's how it works in this country. |
| 5:55
| Steve didn't think he should go up and be a smart-ass when he had to give his speech. Of course next year he won't have to give a speech. |
| 5:56
| Hans thinks Steve can speak next year as well, that's what Roy Leonard always did. They always have a radio guy in the society. So Steve's just their latest bitch? |
| 5:57
| One of Steve's favorite things about the dinner was the old Swiss dude next to Hans. Even he couldn't understand his accent. |
| 5:58
| Then the guy was asking Hans where is wife was buried, but Hans thought he was saying married. They went back and forth for a while until Steve stepped in to translate. |
| 6:04
| Chef Hans is here for Meat Talk but it's more like catching up with him since he's been in Taipei for almost three weeks. |
| 6:05
| Steve thought the Escoffier dinner would be really weird but it wasn't. Everyone was really nice to him and the food was great. |
| 6:06
| Hans' favorite part was the fish course. Steve loved being able to tuck his napkin into his shirt. Escoffier made that OK for more upscale restaurants. |
| 6:07
| César Ritz, of the Ritz hotel chain, hired Escoffier at his hotel in Paris. Escoffier went on to revolutionize French cuisine and it's still being prepared his way today. |
| 6:08
| Escoffier also met a lot of beautiful women on his journey to old age in the kitchen, including Millie Melba. For her he invented peach melba. |
| 6:09
| Hans is going to bring in some of that brie they had at the dinner on Sunday. |
| 6:10
| Steve doesn't normally like cheese other than Swiss but this brie was fantastic. Then he got distracted talking to Hans or Jesse White and a waiter took his plate away. |
| 6:19
| The guy on Taipei radio kept calling it Smith & Lewinsky when he was talking to Chef Hans. She knows her meat but she doesn't have a steak house. |
| 6:20
| Steve was reminded by Jim kid that there was a new Heroes episode last Monday. Steve started watching it last night but he knew it was going to be intense and he wanted to give it his full attention so he turned it off. |
| 6:21
| When that girl turned into the cheerleader to try to talk to the dad and then she turned back, that's when Steve knew he had to watch it another time. |
| 6:22
| Song: Heroes, David Bowie |
| 6:34
| Heroes is so far out and multi-faceted that you can't really wreck an episode by playing a clip. You need to see what's happening. |
| 6:35
| Buzz can't believe we're running commercials for a jet company and Steve's not involved. |
| 6:36
| Drew said he's working on it but he's probably gone for the day. Buzz actually saw him leave but Steve's going to leave a message for him anyway. |
| 6:37
| Who talks about wanting a jet more than Steve? No one. Who wants a jet more than Steve? No one. Who is less willing to pay for one than Steve? No one. |
| 6:38
| News with Buzz |
| 6:39
| The Senate has approved the war-funding bill which Bush has promised to veto it contains a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. |
| 6:40
| The first presidential debate for the 2008 election will be held at South Caroline State University tonight and Broadcast on MSNBC tonight. Brian Williams will be the moderator. Buzz said South Carolina with a nice Southern accent. He picked that up from Hillary Clinton. |
| 6:41
| Even though Steve said Brian Williams was a tool he's actually pretty funny. He was on Letterman the other night and he can switch from funny to serious pretty quickly. |
| 6:42
| Britain's Defense Ministry is reviewing plans to send Prince Henry to Iraq. They may just give him a desk job. |
| 6:43
| That debate is on right now and it's riveting. Joe Biden! Riveting! Can we talk about some new stuff in these debates? It's just the same things over and over again. Assault weapons are a great arguing hot button issue but it seems like there are more important things than that. |
| 6:44
| That kid at Virginia Tech wasn't even using an assault rifle, it was just some handguns. Maybe they should work on getting people to not shoot each other. |
| 6:45
| A Sea World employee was arrested after he threatened a Virginia Tech-type massacre at at the park. |
| 6:46
| Steve also hates Sea World because it's boring and he doesn't like being splashed by that whale. |
| 6:47
| A student at Cary-Grove HIgh School was arrested after handing in a creative writing essay that mentioned a school shooting. |
| 6:48
| The student is Asian. It seems really wrong to arrest someone for an essay, especially if it doesn't contain any threats. Can't they just pull him aside and ask what the deal is? |
| 6:57
| Steve has one more issue that he'd like to address before the show ends today, from Richard Roeper's column in the paper. |
| 6:58
| In the column Richard sincerely asks if there are any men that actually watch The View. Steve sent him a link to his blog today. |
| 6:59
| What's wrong with a guy watching The View? That Elizabeth is hot and she wears a lot of short skirts and they always have good angels on her. |
| 7:00
| Just because it's a show with 4 women talking doesn't mean guys can't watch it. Most guys probably aren't home at 10:00 AM to watch the show. |
| 7:01
| Matt watches The View just for Elizabeth Hasselbeck. She's looking good everyday, she works on it. |
