| Stan's Lay-Z-Boy spa chair broke and he tried to fix it. It sounds like he's talking about a rocket ship. |
| 2:02
| Stan probably voided his warranty by opening up the chair. Why didn't he just call Lay-Z-Boy and have them fix it? Steve doesn't even know why he goes down this road with Stan. Sometimes he hopes that Stan will have a moment of self-actualization and realize he's crazy. |
| 2:03
| Maybe Stan needs to get back into engineering because this is how engineers talk. If Steve's chair was broken he'd call someone in his office get the chair fixed. |
| 2:04
| Stan and Terry have enough people working on their show, can't one of them call and get the chair fixed? |
| 2:05
| If Steve wanted to go down this many dead-ends he'd get a paper route. |
| 2:08
| Song: Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffett |
| 2:12
| Good Aloha Friday to ya! There was some concern that Buzz was going to be late. We got a last minute call from Buzz but he didn't leave a message. |
| 2:13
| Buzz only got here a few minutes late but also the cross talk with Stan and Terry was cut short because Steve was irritated with Stan. |
| 2:14
| Stan doesn't know how to being an engineer. It's funny for a guy like Steve, who doesn't know anything about fixing things, to try to repair his Lay-Z-Boy and have it blow up. It's not funny for know-it-all Stan to do it. Steve also got irritated that he couldn't say "self-actualization" properly. |
| 2:15
| Steve doesn't mind talking to Stan and Terry though. Buzz has heard this building for a while now. Steve tried to break Stan of some of his habits during the cross talk from the United Center but it didn't work. |
| 2:16
| Normally Steve doesn't mind mining Stan for the comedy but he couldn't do it today. He really just needs to lighten up a bit. At least he finally admitted yesterday that doing a radio show everyday is harder than he though. |
| 2:17
| The only time a know-it-all is funny is when he doesn't know something. Stan couldn't believe Steve wouldn't try to fix his own chair. Why would he? There are people who can do that for him. |
| 2:18
| Then Steve told Stan to have one of the interns get it fixed but he said they're just for work. Is he saying one of those moron interns couldn't get it done? He's in showbiz! There's a different kid out there everyday and now apparently Bonnie is dressing up for them. It looks like she's going to Vegas with one of them today. |
| 2:19
| Ask anyone who works for Steve what their job is, it's to make him happy. Plus eventually anything that Steve will ask someone to do will wind up on the air. |
| 2:20
| Terry's completely helpless dealing with Stan. Terry's out-of-control and Stan is in control. The in control guy will always dominate the out-of-control guy. |
| 2:21
| Terry is lazy too. Steve might be out-of-control but at least you'll get your money's worth. When Steve heard Stan say Lay-Z-Boy he thought he was talking about Terry. |
| 2:26
| Hopefully Stan gets his chair fixed. If not Steve has a chair in storage he could sell him. Steve can just picture Stan sitting in the chair in the Cardigan sweater, smoking a pipe, newspaper folded, issuing orders to Jeffrey. He's not the crazy DJ you'd expect. |
| 2:27
| Steve likes Stan and Terry and he thinks they're doing a good job. Stan's been hearing Steve bring the minutiae for years but there's a trick to it. For instance, there's a lot of minutiae in Steve's new deck but he hasn't brought it up. Stan and Steve did get bogged down in the details of the new deck though. |
| 2:28
| The thing with Steve is that he's crazy, so when he sands both sides of the wood on his deck it's because he's crazy. Stan isn't crazy though, maybe he should take acid to make him crazy? |
| 2:29
| Steve would never try to fix his own massage chair. He wouldn't even think of doing it for a second. Steve doesn't fix anything because when he tries he only makes it worse. |
| 2:30
| Janet ordered some bookcases that came unassembled in about a thousand pieces. Steve can certainly afford to buy bookcases that come assembled but Janet decided not to. |
| 2:31
| Then she charged Steve with assembling the bookcases. He finally did it after six hours, stopping briefly to decide if he should murder his wife or continue assembling. |
| 2:32
| Buzz's wife loves ordering stuff that's unassembled and putting it together. Janet forgets she ordered something unassembled, then when the box comes she can't believe an entire bookcase would fit in there. |
| 2:33
| These weren't IKEA bookcases either. At least with IKEA they've got the directions down so it's really easy. Steve can't remember where these bookcases were from but the pictures in the directions were not representative of the pieces Steve had. |
| 2:34
| Why not just send Steve some lumber and he can make the bookcase himself? Or maybe he could go cut down the trees first? |
| 2:35
| Steve's motto is "Work hard so you don't have to do stuff." Remember The Jetsons? The whole point of that show was working hard and letting robots do everything for you. |
| 2:36
| Steve does stuff around the house though, like snowblowing. He only likes doing things where the goal seems attainable. Steve doesn't even read and yet he's putting together bookcases that will hold a bunch of books because Janet doesn't believe in throwing them away. |
| 2:37
| Steve did that Bosch mini drill that we were advertising last summer and it worked really well. These bookcases had a lot of wood screws, it was like Steve was cabinet building. |
| 2:41
| Steve likes to have other people do his work for him and there's nothing wrong with that. That's just how the world works. |
| 2:42
| If there's something you like to do then you do it. Steve likes to maintain his pool although he hasn't had time recently to vacuum it. |
| 2:43
| There are times when Buzz wishes he could do stuff but he confusions his wishing with having the actual talent. |
| 2:44
| Song: Dirty Work, Steely Dan |
| 2:47
| Steve and Buzz did a nice job of tying that in and leading right into it. They should teach a class or something. Of course why would they want to teach people how to take their jobs from them? |
| 2:48
| Steve still has his eye out for Matt and Brendan, they're sounding a little too comfortable in their time slot and they work for a lot cheaper. |
| 2:49
| Matt and Brendan are doing a good job. Steve enjoys listening to them even though Matt is his own kid and he has strong feelings for Brendan. By the end of the day though Steve is pretty sick of Brendan. Everything he does moves so slowly. It's like a Peckinpah movie with everything moving so slowly. |
| 2:50
| Buzz thinks Steve should update his reference to someone like John Woo. Although that might be out-of-date too. John Woo's last movie was The Hulk and that wasn't even that good. |
| 2:51
| Didn't Ang Lee direct The Hulk? Steve's going back to his original Peckinpah reference. |
| 2:52
| You gotta like that IMDb.com, they have everything you could need if you're looking for info on a movie. They don't charge though so Steve doesn't get what's in it for whoever runs it. |
| 2:53
| Right now John Woo is filming The Battle of Red Cliff and he just completed Stranglehold. |
| 2:54
| Steve's not really into Asian cinema although reading John Woo's filmography is making him want Chinese food. |
| 2:55
| Steve doesn't even think he's seen Mission: Impossible 2 or Windtalkers. One of the reasons Steve didn't see Windtalkers is because he wanted to buy the rights to the book and make it a movie. Whenever Steve reads a book he thinks of optioning it and making it into a movie. |
| 2:56
| That's what happened to The Babe. Steve bought the rights to a book by John Creamer, who lives in Chicago. Then John Goodman and Warner Brothers got involved and it ended up being a horrible movie. The good news is that someone can still make a great Babe Ruth movie. |
| 2:57
| Steve was contracted to appear in the movie, which filmed in Danville. Buzz has been on a film set and he knows how boring it can be so Steve spent a lot of time on the phone doing the show. |
| 2:58
| Steve tried to get Kelly McGillis to get on the phone and say hello but then she told the publicist and they made Steve stop. Then they decided to make Steve stay on set even though they weren't going to use him in the movie. |
| 2:59
| The producers might have already been mad at Steve because they had to get the book rights from him. He still ended up making $10,000 even though he never filmed a single frame in the movie. He just sat in his trailer all day playing guitar with a 1920s haircut that he had to get for the movie. |
| 3:00
| Steve was staying at the Danville Holiday Inn where he went swimming and ran right into a sanitary napkin in the pool. |
| 3:05
| The off-duty Chicago police officer who beat up that bartender has been charged with 14 new counts. Steve just said offither, he sounded like Cliff. |
| 3:06
| Steve might have been thrown off reading this article because Chicago and officer were capitalized but police wasn't. It doesn't seem like officer should be capitalized but Anthony Abbate, or AA as Steve likes to call him, should be. |
| 3:07
| Steve feels that state's attorney's office should be capitalized but it's not. Who's checking things over at the Trib? Hopefully Sam Zell doesn't see this stuff. |
| 3:08
| The assault happened on February 19th at 11:30 PM at Jesse's Short Stop Inn. 11:30 seems really early to be that drunk, especially on a Monday. That's a bad Monday. |
| 3:09
| The charges alleged that a woman acting as an intermediary made threats against the bartender after the incident. This guy can't even make his own threats! |
| 3:10
| Buzz remembers hearing that a male friend of Abbate's went into the bar immediately after the incident but this is the first he's heard of a female making threats for him. |
| 3:11
| Assistant State's Attorney David Navarro, who's also the host of Fox News in the Morning, said Abbate became louder as the night wore on and had earlier attacked another patron. |
| 3:12
| Someone came into the bar and offered her money to forget about the attack right afterwards. |
| 3:13
| There's nothing more in this Tribune article about the girl who made threats for Abbate. |
| 3:14
| Buzz might have seen video of Abbate in a cop car with a dude. Some women look like dudes too. The dude probably went in there to make sure things were OK, but they weren't OK. Then he and Abbate decided they'd be better off sending a broad in for some broad-on-broad conversation. They probably don't know too many broads because they're not that good looking. |
| 3:22
| Caller Lisa saw some video of the woman who was involved in the Abbate case. |
| 3:23
| The woman is shown on tape sitting at the bar with some guy. During the tape she gets up several times to talk to the female bartender. |
| 3:24
| They did show her with another guy though so Buzz was right. She did go out of camera range just so she wouldn't be caught on tape. |
| 3:25
| Lisa's very excited about her Lettuce gift certificate, she'll use it when she goes to the Sox game in July. |
| 3:26
| Lisa wants to know when Wendy's coming back to the show. Wendy's not coming back to the show. She hasn't been on the show in 6 months. |
| 3:27
| Buzz doesn't want to promote another station but you can find Wendy on the dial somewhere else. |
| 3:28
| Hasn't Steve gone over the Wendy thing several times already on the air? He still gets emails about it sometimes. |
| 3:29
| It seems like going into Jesse's Short Stop Inn right after the incident to try to pay the bartender off is a bad idea. It only highlights for the victim that it's a big deal. They would have been better off waiting to see how it shakes out. |
| 3:30
| Abbate must have known there was a camera that recorded the incident which is why he sent people in to make threats. |
| 3:38
| To go back a few topics, Steve mentioned that working with Brendan is like being in a Peckinpah movie because he moves so slow. |
| 3:39
| Buzz said he should go with John Woo because there's a lot of slo-mo in his movies. That Cho fella at Virginia Tech was a fan of John Woo's movies. |
| 3:40
| This just in, thousands of Japanese have been swindled in a scam in which they were sold Australian and British sheep and told they were poodles. The good news is that sheep are better eating than dogs. |
| 3:41
| The scam was uncovered after Japanese movie star Maiko Kawamaki complained about it on her talk show. Steve needs to brush up on his Japanese pronunciations for when he goes over there this summer. |
| 3:42
| Steve was thinking he'd go in August but his buddy Shu seems very particular on when he wants him to go. Steve can't really just go whenever he wants though. |
| 3:43
| Shu's stopping by the Arlington broadcast and bringing some friends from his office. |
| 3:44
| David from The Little Guys just got back from Japan and it was amazing. Steve will probably need a translator or a tour guide though. |
| 3:45
| Steve sort of figured he'd need someone who speaks the language with him. He's only going if Shu is with him. |
| 3:46
| Sony flew David over there but what's the point of having him there in the first place? |
| 3:47
| David goes with other dealers and they give input on the production process of Sony gear. How did he get hooked into that? It's a total scam. |
| 3:48
| Steve would love to go to Japan but he doesn't have the freedom to do it whenever he wants to. He'd like to go some places and not have to broadcast from there. |
| 3:49
| David would like to do that too. Steve's sure his trip was grueling. Should they go with black knobs on the receiver or brushed chrome? |
| 3:50
| Who else was David there with? Did he actually give the Sony people any good ideas? |
| 3:51
| Ed feels that the little guys were able to give the big guys some good ideas. David is very hyper today, it's like talking to Ron Popeil. |
| 3:52
| When Buzz was in Japan he went to a country western bar which was really funny. It's like being in Texas but everyone is Japanese. |
| 3:53
| Steve saw Lost in Translation and Japan seems pretty weird. The only things he's interested in when going there are noodles and being bathed. If he has to go to a temple to make Shu think he cares about Japan then he will but hopefully it's near a noodle shop. |
| 4:01
| On the phone is Gayle Fisher from Comcast Sportsnet. Things are really busy, they've got the Bulls game tonight with an hour and a half of pre-game starting at 5:30. |
| 4:02
| Steve thinks the Bulls will win the series in 5 games. The mentality of the Bulls seems to be they'll only win one in Miami which is not a good mentality to have. |
| 4:03
| Pat Riley said that having his team down 2-0 in this series is like having a loved one pinned underneath a wrecked car. You need to get everyone's adrenaline pumping to lift the car off. |
| 4:04
| The Bulls have never won a road playoff game under Scott Skiles so winning tonight would be really important for them. |
| 4:05
| Once you win a title you have to be really committed building a dynasty. We sort of saw some of that with the Sox last season. Steve might have to change his prediction for a 4-game sweep. |
| 4:06
| The Bears deal with Washington seems to be back on or at least both the sides are talking about it again. Briggs could be traded before the draft tomorrow. |
| 4:07
| Briggs doesn't seem like the kind of guy the Bears need around any more, especially if he's going to sit out the first ten games. He's a weak side linebacker, tackles get funneled to him. |
| 4:08
| Steve could be a weak side linebacker in that defensive scheme. He's in shape although he's not very fast. Lovie really values speed on his team. Steve isn't fast but he's thorough. He's not very agile either, he runs into a wall at least 5 times a day. |
| 4:09
| Steve's already tired of hearing about Brady Quinn and he hasn't even been drafted yet. Hopefully when he does get drafted he can afford to have his teeth shrunk down because he looks like Mr. Ed. |
| 4:10
| Steve wants Brady Quinn to be the one sitting around at the draft moping because he wasn't picked early enough. |
| 4:11
| The draft is exciting but it takes way too long. Some people like to be there watching it but they always boo players that get picked. Then those people are always wrong and the player ends up being great. |
| 4:12
| Steve won't be watching the entire draft, he'll just tune into the Comcast recap. Maybe they could put together a nice montage of Brady's reaction after every pick that isn't him, maybe some nice dissolve wipes or something. |
| 4:13
| Buzz really likes talking to the women at Comcast because they really know what they're talking about. |
| 4:19
| Steve forgot to update his 4-game sweep prediction after Tuesday, it was a decisive victory. |

| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:22
| President Bush, as promised, will veto the war-funding bill passed in the Senate yesterday. |
| 4:23
| Iraqi politicians were upset about the bill because they feel a troop pull-out would be disastrous for their country. Don't they have other things to worry about? |
| 4:24
| President Bush's approval ratings fell to an all-time low this week. Buzz feels the poll was taken before the dancing he did at the White House. |
| 4:25
| Texas executed convicted killer Ryan Dickson last night but not before a last meal of fried chicken, fried eggs, french fries with white gravy, apple pie with ice cream, a pork chop, five biscuits, chili with jalapeños and cheese, lemonade and five milks. |
| 4:26
| Steve doesn't get why they go through all that trouble for people who are about to be executed. It seems like the person should make a list and then the prison tries to get one thing on there. |
| 4:27
| If Steve was going to be executed he wouldn't be hungry and he's always hungry. There's probably some long and storied tradition of last meals that Steve and Buzz don't know about. Buzz feels Mark will get to the bottom. |
| 4:28
| Steve has something on Mark's page about last meals. For people who don't know who Mark is, he's a shut-in who lives in Racine and compiles information from newspapers and TV stations for the show. He has a page that he posts all of this stuff on for Steve and Buzz to look at. |
| 4:29
| There was a time when you could go to Dahl.com and see the page and then Steve realized that was a bad idea. He was going to charge for access because even though it's customized for Steve you can still do a really good show from the page. |
| 4:30
| Mark's page was a Dan Falato invention so Steve has to give him credit for that. It accidentally made Dan obsolete but still a great idea. |
| 4:31
| Many ancient cultures have last meal rituals. In pre-modern Europe the last meal was a way for the host to make peace with the condemned. In accepting the last meal the condemned was forgiving the executioner, the judge and any who witnessed the execution. |
| 4:32
| Another reason behind the last meal was so the condemned would not haunt the people responsible for his killing. The better the food and drink the safer the condemned's oath was to not haunt people. |
| 4:33
| That Abbate guy is on the TV behind Buzz. He really cleaned up nicely for court. He still sort of has a mullet although it's not really a mullet. What do you call that? |
| 4:34
| A Cary-Grove high school student was arrested for writing an essay that contains mentions of killing people in his school and having sex with their bodies. The students in the class were instructed to write about whatever came to their minds. The school shooting stuff might be on someone's mind right now but Steve's not sure where the necrophilia comes from. |
| 4:35
| A Utah County Republican delegate has said that satan is behind illegal immigration and it's part of his plan to destroy this country. |
| 4:36
| The delegate is calling for the closing of all U.S. borders to prevent a stealth invasion orchestrated by satan. So they arrest the high school kid but not this guy? |
| 4:40
| Alec Baldwin was on The View today. Steve watches The View even though Richard Roeper says it's for girls. |
| 4:41
| Baldwin seemed pretty contrite but he was weird and he got a little angry a few times. He obviously hates Kim Basinger and she hates him too. |
| 4:42
| Baldwin said he wants to quit 30 Rock to devote more time to his daughter. She lives in LA but the show films in New York. |
| 4:43
| Steve likes Alec Baldwin but he does seem a little crazy. When Buzz was living in Greektown he walked into his condo building and Alec Baldwin was standing there in front of a buffet table. |
| 4:44
| He was filming a movie in one of the apartments and Buzz mentioned to him that they'd worked together in Married to the Mob. He had no idea what Buzz was talking about. |
| 4:45
| Buffet table? In the film world they call that craft services. How great was Baldwin in The Departed though? |

| Steve's driving to Des Moines after the show to rehearse with The Nadas. There will be a big announcement on Monday about the first show. Buzz is involved in some capacity. |
| 4:48
| Steve's not sure what Buzz will do but he's thinking they'll do a blues song. Buzz just want to be able to use his amp. |
| 4:49
| The Nadas sent Steve a 3 page itinerary for his weekend in Des Moines. |
| 4:50
| At 1:05 AM tomorrow Steve is scheduled to be hungry. At 1:07 AM he'll remember that the hotel doesn't have 24-hour room service. At 1:10 he'll arrive at his hotel. |
| 4:51
| Apparently Steve's hotel does have a massage therapist on-call. Can she bring a cheeseburger? That would be a great happy ending. |
| 4:52
| The Nadas are pretty funny. Steve needs a funny band but also a good band. |
| 4:53
| At 2:00 AM Steve can prank call Tana Goertz, who's on The Apprentice, and say "YOU'RE TIRED!" Steve doesn't watch The Apprentice so he doesn't know who she is. No one on the show watches it actually. And Donald Trump thinks he's successful? |
| 4:54
| It's probably a big deal in Des Moines that someone from there is on The Apprentice. Of course we made a big deal in Chicago with that Bill Rancid guy. Buzz thought Chicago had another person on The Apprentice but that might be Idol. |
| 4:55
| There's a girl from Naperville who was on Idol. When Steve was out at Cheeseburger in Paradise the manager was telling him that that girl performed there with her band before she was on Idol. They were too loud and started swearing so the manager told her to stop. |
| 4:56
| Then she turned the volume up and started swearing. Steve was glad she got kicked off after hearing that story. |
| 5:00
| Pete just played a drop that mentioned terrible flooding in Des Moines but that's not for this weekend is it? Steve's itinerary says it's supposed to be sunny and 72º tomorrow. |
| 5:01
| Pete says that is for the weekend, he just wanted to make sure Steve was aware in case he had to make alternate travel plans. |
| 5:02
| Pete says he's concerned about Steve but he's really just trying to wreck his weekend. |
| 5:03
| Steve will not be in the areas of Des Moines that might flood. Those are usually the low-lying poor areas and Steve won't be there. |
| 5:04
| At 8:00 AM tomorrow Steve will wake lamenting his order of garlic and shrimp pizza but be glad that he didn't order the spam and Sauerkraut pizza. |
| 5:05
| Steve's leaving out the specifics of this itinerary like where his hotel is or where the studio is. He can't have the paparazzi show up. He's also been warned to watch out for college and Olympics athletes in town for the Drake Relays. |
| 5:06
| At 10:00 AM Steve will stand in awe of the rocking power of The Nadas. Steve doesn't see the part in the itinerary where someone takes his amp out of his car for him. |
| 5:07
| Steve has his Fender DeVille amp in the car right now with the new 410s. He could bring it up but it's really heavy. |
| 5:08
| There's a lunch break scheduled for noon. Either they eat a lot or the think Steve eats a lot. Choices for lunch include Tasty Tacos, The Cookery which serves African food or AK O'Connor's Steve's going to pass on the African food. He didn't even know they had food in Africa. Isn't that part of the problem. |
| 5:09
| Steve wouldn't be surprised if he gets caught up in the relay, he brought his gym shoes with him. At 1:00 Steve can have one of the band members bring him to East Village to get Des Moines t-shirts for friends, family or Dahl show crew. Steve likes when smaller towns say they have an East Village. It's just a corn field. |
| 5:10
| Dinner options include Rube's which is a steakhouse where you do just about everything except kill the cow. Steve's not really into that. |
| 5:11
| Is this Tyler who wrote the itinerary? He's The Nadas road manager. Not only did Steve select a good band for be the new Dahlfins but they also have a good road manager. Although it doesn't seem like the band does all that much except sit around listening to the show on the internet. |
| 5:12
| Barada's is on the South side of Des Moines. South side? It's probably about 2 minutes from downtown. |
| 5:13
| Right now Steve's thinking pork chop for dinner. Whenever Buzz is in a situation like this he always goes Italian. |
| 5:14
| The band heads back to the studio at 6:50 after dinner, that's grueling. From 7:00-9:00 Steve is scheduled to rock. |
| 5:15
| Steve is scanning the Saturday night plans for Des Moines. Sadly there's nothing he can't say on the air. Maybe there's a secret itinerary Tyler hands out that's handwritten in disappearing ink at dinner. |
| 5:16
| In Des Moines on a Saturday night the possibilities are endless, according to the itinerary. Options include breaking into the stadium where the Iowa Cubs play for a game of whiffle ball or visiting the casino. |
| 5:21
| Steve missed the rejoin music. It was very subtle but Buzz was grooving on it. |
| 5:22
| Caller Greg went to Drake and he has some info about the relays. It's one of the oldest track meets in the country and they do have Olympic athletes participating. |
| 5:23
| The relay is just a big party on the Drake campus though. There are a lot of frat parties. |
| 5:24
| Greg wants to recommend the Court Avenue Brewery in downtown Des Moines. There was a write-up on it in the Trib about 6 months ago. |
| 5:25
| At 8:00 AM on Sunday Steve can get a massage, go for a jog or hit the hotel gym. Steve might have to do that on Saturday night. |
| 5:26
| Breakfast on Sunday is at Les Mis where the chef is classically trained in French cuisine. Steve will have to bring his Escoffier medal. |
| 5:27
| Buzz has a pretty low interest level in the Escoffier Society. Steve doesn't mind bringing Buzz to the dinner next year but Chef Hans is just so weird. The dinner is a full year away and he's inviting Buzz. |
| 5:28
| The Court Avenue Brewing Company is recommended for Sunday night dinner, which is what that Greg guy was talking about. |
| 5:29
| Steve has a feeling that this will be the beginning of a love affair with Des Moines. The Nadas have that place wired which is why they stay there. |
| 5:30
| It was very nice of The Nadas to even take the time to put that itinerary together. This is probably a really exciting endeavor for them. |
| 5:31
| The big concert announcement will be on Monday. Steve has arranged for all the tickets to be free also. |
| 5:32
| Steve's care is all packed with his gear for the weekend. He's decided to go with that herbal energy stuff Spike. He'll also be driving really fast with his pants off for the truckers. He'll have a flashlight with him to highlight that fact. |
| 5:33
| Live read: Atlantis Gentleman's Club |
| 5:34
| Steve doesn't have Atlantis' permission to use the Donovan song during the live read but he doesn't think they'll care. They already love him over there. |
| 5:35
| Steve got an email from a listener who said it would be sweet to hang out at the strip club. Strip clubs don't really seem like a place to interact with listeners. |
| 5:36
| What is Steve going to do with a listener at a strip club? Have a girl straddle both of them? |
| 5:42
| Steve's new horse no longer has no name. Steve needs to cue up his A Horse with No Name karaoke music before he reads the winner. |
| 5:43
| The name of Steve's new horse is Afternoon Pick Me Up which ironically Steve doesn't do any more. Steve's not sure why he doesn't do that any more but it was great. |
| 5:44
| Apparently someone is working on getting back but there should have never been a gap. All that momentum Steve built up was lost. |

| The person who submitted that name first was John Kalish. The prizes he won are better than what Steve is getting and he owns the horse. |
| 5:46
| This name is perfect for Steve because it doesn't involve his name at all. |
| 5:47
| Buzz would like to go through the list of all 800 names submitted. Now that the contest is over Steve's not interested in doing that but Buzz is welcome to take the list home with him. |

| 5:53
| That's a good one and it ties in with the horse naming. After the break Steve will be talking to Tom Dore about Rush football and maybe some Bulls since he's down in Miami. |
| 5:54
| Buzz is heavily involved with the Bulls now. He doesn't have any money down on the game but being at the United Center really got him into it. |
| 5:55
| The Bulls will be back for more and Steve and Buzz can broadcast from the Legends Lounge again. Steve would like to stay up there for the entire game instead of going to the WCKG suite where he has to do all the work. |
| 6:02
| Tom Dore is going to get Steve in trouble with Big Cat Williams. He never said that he asked for his autograph at a Bears game. |
| 6:03
| Steve just said hi and Big Cat didn't seem interested in talking. Then he recognized Matt Dahl. |
| 6:04
| Tom is in Miami right next to the team hotel. There wasn't enough room in the team hotel so all the broadcasters are next door. |
| 6:05
| John Paxson is also staying with the broadcasters so Tom knew he couldn't complain. If it were Steve he'd hang out in the Bulls hotel pretending he was staying there. |
| 6:06
| Neil Funk might have tried to do that but they threw him out. He's been thrown out of worse places though. |
| 6:07
| Tom's doing the Bulls game tonight on TV and then he flies back Sunday because it's an ABC national game. |
| 6:08
| Steve might be doing another broadcast from the United Center on Tuesday if the game is necessary. |
| 6:09
| The Bulls would play the Pistons in the next round. Steve can base himself out of Cheli's Chili then, even though it's nowhere near the stadium. |
| 6:10
| Steve talked to Coach the other day and he couldn't have been more disinterested. He made Tom look like a catch. |
| 6:11
| The only other person Steve has interviewed that was more disinterested was Pete Townsend and that was a 10 second interview. |
| 6:12
| Steve and Buzz do want to come out to a Rush game sometime. He'd prefer to be in a suite with some cheerleaders. |
| 6:13
| That's the Tom Dore Steve is looking for! Buzz has never seen that much energy from him. |
| 6:14
| Steve knows and likes Tom but before he was Ditka-esque. Before it seemed like he deliberately lowered his energy to play it cool. It's like the Rush is his dirty little secret but Arena is eventually going to be huge. |
| 6:15
| Maybe it helped to start him out with the Bulls first and then segue into the Arena stuff. |
| 6:21
| Buzz really enjoyed the picture of Shaq and Ben Wallace in the Sun-Times today. It looks like they're watching a UFO landing. |

| 6:33
| Steve's watching Comcast behind Buzz. In Miami they cover every seat in the arena with white. It's like at a wedding or something. You're also supposed to wear white or maybe they give you a white shirt. |
| 6:34
| Steve's not sure why they wear white though. It's probably not white power. They all wear white and they have those stupid clacker things too. The other day in the WCKG suite Matt started doing that right in Steve's ear. |
| 6:35
| News with Buzz |
| 6:36
| Vice President Dick Cheney is blasting Democratic leadership for approving the war funding bill. |
| 6:37
| Every time Buzz hears Dick Cheney talk he thinks of Steve's impersonation. For him, that's what Cheney now sounds like. HOW 'BOUT THAT?! |
| 6:40
| The Cary-Grove high school senior who was arrested for writing an essay filled with violence was given instructions to write whatever was on his mind with out editing himself. |
| 6:41
| 18-year old Alan Lee was arrested on his way to school on Tuesday. It seems like you should go to the school counselor before you call the police and have the kid arrested. |
| 6:42
| Steve gets that people are jumpy after the Virginia Tech thing but that Cho kid was a nutcase for 20 years and no one did anything about it. This kid wrote one essay. |
| 6:43
| The most disturbing part of the essay for Steve is the sex with dead people. He can understand how a school shooting would be on someone's mind after Virginia Tech though. |
| 6:44
| Steve was doing a story earlier about people in Japan who were scammed when they bought poodles and actually got sheep. As it turns out that story was fabricated. |
| 6:45
| That was one of those stories that everyone was reporting at the truth. It's still a good idea though. |
| 6:46
| An Australian man calling himself Mr. Man Boobs has started a website to raise money to have his man boobs surgically removed. The website is RemoveMyManBoobs.com. Steve thought he owned that domain. |
| 6:47
| The French dislike themselves more than they dislike Americans according to a new survey in the International Herald Tribune. The French aren't just rude to Americans, they're rude to everyone including each other. |
| 6:54
| Steve's picking the Bulls in 4 games. The game is on in just a few minutes, featuring the talented Neil Funk and Bill Wennington. |
| 6:55
| No matter what there are two games in Miami and then they're back in Chicago if necessary. Steve would like to see them sweep because he doesn't really want to do a show from there on Tuesday and then go to Atlantis that night. |
| 6:56
| If there is a game 5 Steve would like to be there for it though. |
