| Steve is not a vegan, he's a meat eater. Vegans are hardcore, they want nothing to do with animals at all. |
| 2:04
| That baby that died in Atlanta, her vegan parents could have fed her peas and carrots. Most baby food doesn't have meat in it anyway. |
| 2:05
| Places like Whole Foods probably have hippy baby food if you don't want to give your kid Gerber. |
| 2:06
| It's too bad that baby died but people are idiots. The parents were living in Buckhead which is a pretty rich area of Atlanta. |
| 2:07
| Steve doesn't see any of Bonnie's boytoys any more. She doesn't have to send them away when Steve comes through. Is she just putting them in her office so they can get in their underpants. |
| 2:08
| Where does Bonnie get these people from? Steve doesn't feel too good about the future of broadcasting, but he feels good about his future in broadcasting. |
| 2:09
| Today's intern didn't know that vegans didn't eat eggs and milk. |
| 2:10
| Steve has some candy for Stan and Terry, in an effort to be polite. Last week he told Terry to go down to Shirley, who's African-American, and get a haircut. As it turns out she can cut the African-American gentleman's hair. |
| 2:11
| Shirley heard Steve talking about her last week and today when he was getting his haircut she sent him back with chocolate for Stan and Terry. |
| 2:12
| Terry is already eating his chocolate. Shirley told Steve that you're supposed to eat dark chocolate everyday, which he thought was a come on. |
| 2:13
| Shirley's probably using the chocolate to snare Terry. It worked! He's going to head down there for a consultation first with some photo examples. |
| 2:14
| Steve was trying to explain to Shirley what Stan and Terry were looking for. Stan is very much in play since he's not happy with the current place he's getting his hair cut. |
| 2:15
| Terry will be bringing photos of black actors who's hair he likes. Isn't that something chicks do? Who did Terry model his last hairstyle after, Kid and Play? |
| 2:16
| Steve would like to see Terry get a big T shaved into his head. Then Stan could get a big S and Bonnie could have "and" dyed in or something. |
| 2:18
| Song: Dance Naked, John Mellencamp |
| 2:21
| Steve can only assume that song was in reference to Steve's trip to Atlantis Gentleman's Club last night. They're fully nude there. |
| 2:22
| Atlantis is a really nice place. Steve sort of felt bad because there was no one there. It's in Ford Heights but Steve's GPS said it was in Chicago Heights. All he knows is it was spectacular. |
| 2:23
| Right now the building is pretty much all alone in the middle of a field. It's a giant alabaster building with spotlights surrounding it. Everyone was really nice and the food was excellent. Steve recommends the calamari. |
| 2:24
| Steve felt guilty not promoting the event as a personal appearance. He did see one listener, Mark, who was at all the beach broadcasts. He was there with his friends and he said he had a good time. |
| 2:25
| It did take Steve a while to get there because of the Dan Ryan construction. Then he stayed on the Bishop-Ford, which only has a one lane ramp from the Dan Ryan. |
| 2:26
| If you drive it everyday you probably know you can cut around but Steve got stuck behind this stupid girl who kept letting everyone in. |
| 2:27
| Steve had to stop down near the port of Chicago because he had to use the bathroom. He got to a very scary Shell station with a nonworking toilet. That hadn't stopped people, including Steve, from using it though. |
| 2:28
| Steve doesn't remember the names of any of the strippers names. Stripper names are all fake anyway. Steve has been to strip clubs all over the world and this is definitely the nicest in Chicago. It's also just as good as any strip club in Vegas. |
| 2:29
| Atlantis was nicer than the place Steve and Buzz went to the last time they were in Vegas. It was like being in the lobby of the Four Seasons with naked women. |
| 2:30
| Caller Terrence wanted to let Steve know he was at 111th when he got off the expressway to use the bathroom. That was a funky bathroom and there was a creepy dude in there. |
| 2:31
| There's a McDonald's at 115th. Steve should have just held it but he really couldn't any longer. |
| 2:38
| Buzz can't envision the kitchen facilities at Atlantis. They have steaks and whatever else you want really. |
| 2:39
| It's set-up where you could probably spend several hours at this place. You can be like a Roman emperor if you're willing to pay for it. |
| 2:40
| All Buzz has to do is say the word and Steve will take him out there. Buzz has only been to one strip club and that was with Steve. Spike and Dan were also there ruining the whole experience. |
| 2:41
| Actually it was more Spike ruining things because he has a constant smirk on his face. At least Dan is always squinting so you can't see the smirk. |
| 2:42
| Live read: Cheeseburger in Paradise |
| 2:43
| Steve could go for a cheeseburger right about now. There's a Cheeseburger in Paradise in Algonquin. Steve's radio name at one time was Al Gonquin. |
| 2:44
| Steve once had to go out to Algonquin for dinner. At the time it seemed really far away, like Steve was driving to Minnesota. Now people commute from there to downtown for work everyday. Civilization has filled in since then. |
| 2:45
| Buzz once dated a girl who lived in Algonquin. At first it seemed really far but eventually it was like he was dating his neighbor. |
| 2:46
| When Steve first met Ed and they began dating he was living in Algonquin. He was actually Shemp's neighbor and that's how Steve met him. |
| 2:47
| Buzz has a hard time seeing Ed living in Algonquin. He doesn't want to say he's a metrosexual but it seems like he belongs in the city. |
| 2:48
| When Steve drove out there he has having dinner with some people he didn't really like. Once he got to the Des Plaines oasis he almost considered turning around, knowing that no dinner could be worth this trip. And of course it wasn't. |
| 2:54
| Steve places a phone call to Drew. We're not Free FM any more, we're Chicago's FM Talk Station. What does that mean? |
| 2:55
| Drew says we've been Chicago's FM Talk Station for 10 years. Says who? Steve's been here that long, has Drew? What is FM Talk? Does that mean we talk about FM radio? Today we'll be talking about XRT. |
| 2:56
| Steve would like to lobby for another name. He tried to make the suggestion 10 years ago but he was overruled by Jack Silver, who's an idiot. As you can imagine, Steve meets a lot of idiots working in radio. |
| 2:57
| Drew will be happy to know that he's not even in Steve's Top Ten Idiots in Radio. He might not even been in the top 50. Jack Silver was the one who told Buzz he needed more "sizzle". |
| 2:58
| Our call letters are WCKG so how about The Package? We were The Package for a while but only because Steve insisted on it. No one else working here really got it though. It's the total entertainment package. |
| 2:59
| Drew doesn't seem to get it either. Who's the most important person here? Drew thinks it's Rod. Is Steve going to have to get rough? |
| 3:00
| The Package is perfect. We can get ourselves a nice delivery truck with The Package on it to take to live remotes. |
| 3:01
| At some point someone did like The Package because someone took all of Steve's intellectual properties. He doesn't have any stake in this other than making the station better. |
| 3:02
| FM Talk is a stupid name, it means nothing. Drew hasn't met anyone who doesn't get what it means. Who does he meet? Dan and Skynyrd are in radio, of course they get it. |
| 3:03
| Buzz has always liked The Package, it's funny and it means something. Drew is just cackling, we're being run by idiots. |
| 3:04
| People remember the stations with good names. Who's going to remember the FM Talk Station? |
| 3:05
| There was a two month window when WCKG was The Package and Buzz got business cards at that time that he still uses. That's because The Package is such a good name. |
| 3:06
| Is FM Talk some sort of CBS corporate edict and Drew is just pretending his hands aren't tied? Did Dan, Drew and Skynyrd shut the office door, pop open the Quizno's and come up with FM Talk? |
| 3:07
| Drew's not seeing Steve's point. If he keeps going Steve's just going to get meaner and meaner. All he's saying is that he and Buzz are the only two people keeping this place afloat, they might know what they're talking about. |
| 3:08
| Drew is now in Steve's Top 25 Idiots in Radio. He just skyrocketed during that last segment and he's rising fast. Jack Silver is the group program director and he's a complete moron. He might even be in the top 5. |
| 3:09
| Steve's the one who gave Jack a good job recommendation when he was interviewing to be program director at KLSX in LA. He won't even admit that to this day. That's why Steve doesn't give job recommendations any more. It's the Silver Rule. |
| 3:13
| Steve could have probably done all that off the air but Drew is the same no matter what. It just seems like if they're going to make a change they should consult Steve and Buzz. |
| 3:14
| Buzz got an email about the change last night. EVeryone got the email, probably because it was going to be in the paper this morning and Drew wanted to get ahead of it. We don't even have a logo though. |
| 3:15
| Most people probably don't get what FM Talk means, it's too subtle. Steve is a marketing genius. Really, what else is this? Plus he's very limited by the product he's selling, himself. Imagine if he had a good product to sell. |
| 3:16
| This has the feel of a corporate edict and Drew is pretending like it's all him. It doesn't seem like he has that much power. He certainly has a small office. |
| 3:17
| You remember certain radio station names like The Loop, or B96 or Q101. 105.9 The Package, people will remember that. They won't remember 105.9 Chicago's FM Talk Station. |
| 3:18
| At least the Free FM website is gone. Buzz truly didn't understand Free FM. The guy who came up with that got fired a year ago though. |
| 3:19
| The real point of Free FM is that it doesn't cost any money but they tried to pass it off like it we were free to do whatever and be really crazy and ribald. In reality, Howard is free to do whatever on satellite. |
| 3:20
| This is where a Drew Hayes should step into the breach with Steve Dahl's The Package and become historic. |
| 3:21
| There's still a Free FM in Dallas but their website doesn't have the irritating clicks. They still have Tom Leykis though. |
| 3:22
| Caller Shane felt that as a fan and a listener, The Package was perfect. Nice Package! The billboard could be like the cover of Sticky Fingers. |
| 3:23
| Since Steve come up with The Package 10 years ago, he sees variations of the total package all over the place. That's like free advertising. |
| 3:24
| Maybe Steve and Buzz will just call themselves The Package. Drew doesn't seem interested in listening to the idea. They just get these ideas and stick them them no matter what. |
| 3:25
| They should just go with Steve's gut on this one. He has enough gut for everyone. Meanwhile everyone else's guts are full of Quizno's. |
| 3:26
| Caller Julie points out that The G-Spot does go perfectly with The Package. |
| 3:27
| Steve doesn't want to seem like he's stacking the deck in his favor. He would put on some callers who are pro-FM Talk but there haven't been any yet. Is Brendan just not putting those people on hold? |
| 3:28
| It really bothers Steve when he gives someone a good idea and they don't use it. This doesn't mean Drew should come down here during the next break to present his side of the argument. This isn't a bit. |
| 3:29
| At some point there is a tipping point with Drew where you can convince him to go with your idea but it takes a while. Drew doesn't really have any ideas so it takes a while for him to figure out if your idea is really good. |
| 3:30
| In the meantime they're spreading the FM Talk thing all over the place, even though it doesn't make any sense. Chicago's Funhouse didn't make any sense either. That was just Jeff's response to terrorism. |
| 3:35
| How far does Buzz want to take this Package thing? All the way to the Supreme Court? |
| 3:36
| Buzz does like The Package, it makes sense. It's the total entertainment package. |
| 3:37
| Steve's not trying to be a jerk about this but he gets irritated when he's dismissed like Drew did. Maybe that was just because he was on the air. |
| 3:38
| There is a new logo on the WCKG website but it's just a script logo. It sort of looks like the White Sox away jersey font which is going to bug Cubs fans. |
| 3:39
| If people want to call in and disagree with Steve that's fine but they'll have to come up with a good argument. |
| 3:40
| As far as Steve knows no one ever objected to The Package. He has one email that doesn't like The Package. Steve would like to stipulate that he gets a lot of crazy emails from this person. |
| 3:41
| The emailer says that while the C, K and G are in The Package, there's no P. They suggest calling it The Wackage. This is what Steve has to deal with so Buzz doesn't have to. |
| 3:42
| Even after 30 years in radio, Steve still can't get someone to just go "whatever you say man" and listen to him. He's just trying to help everyone else, there's nothing in it for him except that. |
| 3:43
| Another email says him and his brother haven't stopped calling WCKG The Package since Steve first coined that name. |
| 3:44
| Caller Kelly still calls WCKG The Package because it's sexy and manly. It's perfect. GIrls like it, guys want to have one and gay guys like it and want to have one. Everyone's included except the lesbians and they have The G-Spot. |
| 3:51
| It just occurred to Steve that all the promos he did for Comcast feature him saying Free FM. Of course they only run the promos early in the morning. Steve's going to start putting the Comcast guys on at 3:00 AM. |
| 3:52
| On the phone is Mark Schanowsky. There's a lot of baseball on today. There were two Cubs games today, the end of last night's suspended game and then today's game, both wins. |
| 3:53
| Because the Cubs scored 4 runs in the top of the 7th last night and then the game was delayed for rain they had to give the Pirates on more chance to bat. That's why the game had to be continued this morning. |
| 3:54
| In the past the rule would have wiped out the 4 runs the Cubs scored in the top of the 7th and they would have lost. |
| 3:55
| Alfonso Soriano is finally starting to hit now that it's May. He had a home run yesterday and today and he also had a double. With Washington coming to town this weekend they could be over .500 by the end of the week. |
| 3:56
| The Sox are in Seattle winning 2-1 right now. Hopefully the Sox can get Danks a win finally. |
| 3:57
| Steve wasn't near a TV last night so he missed the Sox game, but they lost 5-2 anyway. Mark was watching the Dallas/Golden State NBA playoff game. Golden State is the #8 seed and they almost knocked Dallas out last night. |
| 3:58
| The basketball playoffs are really long now. You have to win 4 games in 4 different best of 7 series to win the title. |
| 3:59
| Nothing new on the Bears today, no new rap songs out of Halas Hall. Steve feels that Greg Olsen's third leg will come in hand for blocking. It gives a whole new meaning to the three-point stance. |
| 4:00
| Steve was at Atlantis last night so he didn't catch the Sox game. Then he drove home in silence, following a guy with an M license plate. He was driving a little erratically but Steve never passed him. There were also Mars lights in the back. |
| 4:08
| Caller Steve wanted to let Steve know that the M license plate could also be a guy who's in public works. Still you shouldn't pass them up because the guy could call ahead and let someone else know. |
| 4:09
| Steve had two fantastic double cheeseburgers from McDonald's last night on his way home. It was like something straight out of Hamburger U. |
| 4:10
| Caller Steve also loves the idea of The Package. Steve appreciates that but he can't dwell on it any longer, it just makes him mad. |
| 4:11
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 4:12
| Song: FM, Steely Dan |
| 4:18
| When Steve first came to Chicago and was on WDAI the program director, who has since passed away, made someone edited that song because he thought "funked up music" sounded too much like something else. |
| 4:19
| That program director has since passed away. It's always sad to lose one of our own, especially someone who made Steve's life a living hell. |
| 4:20
| It was very frustrating for Steve to have that song edited, it was a bad sign that things wouldn't work out. |
| 4:27
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:28
| The attempt to override President Bush's veto of the war funding bill has failed. Meanwhile the President and First Lady appeared on American Idol's charity special. |
| 4:29
| Steve has seen a movie with Dennis Quaid as the president who goes on an American Idol-type show with Hugh Grant as the host of the show |
| 4:30
| Bush's approval rating has gone up recently. Buzz feels it's because of the African dancing he did a few weeks ago. Going on American Idol can't hurt either. |
| 4:31
| That movie was called American Dreamz and it was pretty good. Hugh Grant was sort of playing a character that was Simon, Ryan Seacrest, Randy and Paula all rolled up into one. |
| 4:32
| Robert Kennedy Jr. is weighing in on the recent Karl Rove/Sheryl Crow argument at the White House Correspondents dinner. |
| 4:33
| Robert Kennedy said he saw Rove literally spit in the face of Sheryl Crow and Larry David's wife Laurie. Robert Kennedy? Did Buzz have a séance or something? |
| 4:42
| Steve has a little of Britney's performance in LA last night if Buzz would like to see it. He can't really swing the screen around though. |
| 4:43
| Britney is squatting and there's a thumping sound. She's wearing a short white skirt and white boots. |
| 4:44
| Buzz didn't hear any singing, maybe she's given that up. She did have one of those microphone headsets on but Steve couldn't understand what she was saying. |
| 4:45
| Human skulls were discovered in the home of a Bucktown mannequin dealer. Steve always thought when he read that sentence on the air it would be about our own Pete Zimmerman, but he doesn't live in Bucktown any more. |
| 4:46
| The investigation was launched Tuesday night after police received a call from a man who had been in the home of the mannequin dealer at 2100 N. Damen. |
| 4:47
| The man went into the apartment and saw a skull with flesh still on it boiling in a pot. Steve can't believe Buzz missed this. He didn't have any of the details, like flesh on the skull. He should have dug a little deeper. |
| 4:48
| They had Steve at 4 skulls but apparently that wasn't enough for Buzz. Buzz read the summary on Mark's page and it didn't seem like a crime was being committed. Buzz did think of Pete when he read the story though. |
| 4:49
| The man who was looking to buy a mannequin, fashion designer JoJo Baby, called an anthropologist friend who told him to call the police because it's illegal to bring human bones across international waters. What does that have to do with anything? |
| 4:50
| Officers from the Shakespeare District arrived at the man's house to interview him and confiscated 4 to 5 skulls. This is very shaky reporting on CBS' part. |
| 4:51
| Steve's not sure if Buzz has ever been to the Shakespeare district but all the police officers are dressed like Shakespeare. |
| 4:52
| Steve has a video from CBS that might feature JoJo Baby. On the video they're saying the apartment is in Wicker Park. What's the difference, a couple blocks? |
| 4:53
| JoJo Baby doesn't sound weird but he looks weird. He has those earrings like the African women where they put those plates in their to stretch the lobe out. |
| 4:54
| Buzz needs to come over and see what JoJo is wearing. It looks like a half-sweater with the armpits cut out. Then he's got a lime green t-shirt on and a potbelly. |
| 4:55
| It sort of looks like he's wearing a sports bra with sleeves and no armpits but it's knit. Is that the kind of stuff this guy is designing because Steve might be interested. |
| 4:56
| As Buzz can see, the police officer is dressed like Shakespeare. Dost thou knowest a skull dealers? Plus they had the skull in Macbeth so that's why it all happens in the Shakespeare District. That's the only thing Steve knows about Shakespeare and it finally came in handy, how sweet is that? |
| 5:01
| Ben Gay is here but he missed his cue coming in. He was distracted listening to the Greg Olsen rap song one more time. |
| 5:02
| Ben can't wait to meet Greg. He's very tall and that's not all. Ben would like to meet the entire 7th Floor Crew. All that stuff they talk about in the song, they can do to Ben if they want. |
| 5:03
| Ben is actually wearing a JoJo Baby outfit today, similar to what he was wearing on CBS last night. We should say at the end of the show "Ben's wardrobe provided by JoJo Baby." |
| 5:04
| Ben hates to burst Steve's bubble but Hamlet was the Shakespeare play that had the skull in it. At least he knew there was a Shakespeare play with a skull. |
| 5:05
| Steve doesn't like to be in the studio with Ben. He might get jealous of Ben's relationship with Buzz. |
| 5:06
| The Cubs beat the Pirates 8-6 today in a game that was suspended last night. It must be hard to get to sleep when you don't know what will happen in the rest of the game. |
| 5:07
| After that game the Cubs beat the Pirates again 7-1. Alfonso Soriano hit his second home run of the season. |
| 5:08
| The White Sox lost to the Mariners 3-2 in Seattle with John Danks giving up 3 runs. Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko both him solo home runs. |
| 5:09
| The Bulls first game against the Pistons in the second round will be Saturday in Detroit. The time of game is TBD. |
| 5:10
| A large crowd gathered to day to watch the beginning of the Wachovia Pro-Am, which paired Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. |
| 5:11
| Jordan and Woods kidded with each other about their golfing abilities and moved each other's golf balls off tees or threw them into the water. |
| 5:12
| Who is Jordan to talk about Woods golf game? |
| 5:20
| Bob and Ron are here and Buzz is motoring his way back to the studio. Bob and Ron have some unfinished business from last week. |
| 5:21
| Bob found the Woodstock LP and pulled out the stage announcements. Dig it dig it. |
| 5:22
| How great is that? It's exactly how Steve remembers it. |
| 5:23
| This week is the birthday of Ed Cassidy, drummer from Spirit. Bob and Ron wanted to play some Sabbath today. Steve's not a huge fan of them though. Is Sweat Leaf a popular song? |
| 5:24
| It's also Willie Nelson's birthday this week and he enjoys the sweet leaf. That's a bit of a stretch, almost Stan Lawrence-esque. |
| 5:25
| This week Love's My Little Red Book hit the charts. That's the one Steve wants to hear even though it's shorter. They also have Atlantis on here but that one has been in heavy rotation recently. |
| 5:26
| Song: My Little Red Book, Love |
| 5:30
| It's also Bill Ward's birthday this week, which is why Bob and Ron wanted to play Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath is getting back together with Ronnie James Dio, who replaced Ozzie after he left. Ozzie owns the Sabbath name so they'll be called Live Evil, which was the name of Dio's live Sabbath album. |
| 5:31
| Steve was listening to a classic rock station on his way to Iowa and the girl on the station was talking about the Sabbath reunion. Steve was wondering what she was doing in Iowa and then he remembered it's one of those stations where the same person voices local segments for stations all over the country. |
| 5:32
| A few years ago there was a big controversy about that because Clear Channel was doing it. Steve heard another guy on the way back talking about the Sabbath reunion and both times they didn't actually play any Sabbath. |
| 5:33
| Both DJs kept telling people to go to the station's website but it seems like once you do that, people will figure out you're not actually on in Iowa or wherever. |
| 5:34
| Steve will have to do some research on this during the song but it seemed troubling. No wonder there's no talent any more. How else are you supposed to learn except by going from your college to Des Moines and then working your way up. |
| 5:35
| On the other hand it's good news for Steve and Buzz. They can just pull the drawbridge up. |
| 5:36
| A lot of the content seemed better than the stuff Steve hears in Chicago. On XRT Frank E. Lee's only content is the Lee-ettes and that stupid song. Then he says something like "the Lee-ettes, drip-dry cotton in a wash-and-wear world" and that's the extent of his content. |
| 5:37
| Song: Sweet Leaf, Black Sabbath |
| 5:41
| When Steve goes to the website for The Fox, Iowa City's classic rock station, he clicks on the bio for Anne Kelly. |
| 5:42
| Based on the bio it sounds like she's in California. She started doing tours at Universal and Hearst Mansion and then moved on to doing voice work for national ads. They don't do that kind of stuff in Iowa City, they only bite off part of Brendan's ear. |
| 5:43
| There's a picture of her and her kid who's wearing a Morrow Bay t-shirt and another of her with actor Charles Napier. He's not from around here. |
| 5:44
| People don't talk about sobriety and peace, love and understanding in Iowa City. They also aren't into yoga. |
| 5:45
| This woman sounds like the female Kevin Matthews with just a hint of Wendy Snyder. |
| 5:46
| This woman wasn't that good but she was too good to be on in Iowa City. Once again though, this is why there's a lack of good radio talent. It's OK with Steve, he's already in the castle with the drawbridge up. No one is even storming the castle though, it's all quiet. |
| 5:47
| Steve went to break but Ron was trying to promote his show. He can't help himself can he? If Steve wanted to promote their show he would. This is one of those moments where Steve lowers the drawbridge and kicks out two stoners. |
| 5:48
| Steve doesn't want Bob and Ron peeking their heads in to say goodbye either, that's their punishment. Do they think he can't do this on his own? He can have Tina pull three things that happened in music history this week and then play a song that ties in. |
| 5:54
| Live read: Atlantis Gentleman's Club |
| 5:55
| Steve doesn't want to play his clip from Atlantis because it has nothing to do with what's going on down there. They have a really nice club where they've convinced girls to take their clothing off. |
| 5:56
| Steve had a lot of Red Bull last night and as a result couldn't get to sleep until about 4:00 AM. |
| 5:57
| There's a lot of good food at Atlantis. Steve had the calamari with a marinara sauce but they also have steaks. |
| 5:58
| Steve has had some bad experiences at strip clubs when he's in a VIP room with a buffet. Strippers love free food and once they see it you don't see them any more. |
| 5:59
| It's really weird to see a stripper naked eating food from a buffet. |
| 6:00
| The club wasn't so crowded last night for the grand opening. A lot of times with these kind of places, people wait a few weeks to hear what it's like. For a guy though, the girl-to-guy ratio was very favorable. |
| 6:01
| Buzz is going to check his calendar and find a night when he can go out to Atlantis. |
| 6:02
| Buzz's only trip to a strip club was definitely ruined by Spike Manton. He has that smirk on his face that just takes the fun out of everything. |
| 6:03
| Steve will go with Buzz if he wants, or he can go alone. Or maybe he could bring Aimee for an adult's night out. |

| Buzz loves the music for this live read. |

| You probably can't buy a $250,000 house with $27,000 in credit card debt when you're combined income is $52,000. |
| 6:12
| You probably can't even pay off your debt on that yearly salary. Those credit cards really get you into a hole you can't get out of. |

| The Dow closed at over 13,200 for the first time ever today. |

| American's opinions about President Bush appear to be holding steady according to the latest Rasmussen poll. Who? |
| 6:16
| Steve already knew that Karl Rove was rude and arrogant, he doesn't need Robert Kennedy Jr. telling him that. |
| 6:17
| If Steve were Karl Rove and Sheryl Crow came up to him at a party he would lose interest once he figured out there was nothing in it for him. |
| 6:18
| Who cares about this anyway? It was 5 minutes at a party and we have to keep hearing about it. |
| 6:19
| Steve's not defending Karl Rove, he's a jerk. If you walk up to a jerk he's going to be a jerk to you. |
| 6:22
| A new study says that the current model for sex ed in schools isn't working. A rep for Campaign for Responsible Sex Education says that teaching abstinence is not having an effect on students. |
| 6:23
| Obviously, the abstinence thing doesn't work but the people who believe in it just won't give up. Of course these are he same people who don't believe in evolution. |
| 6:24
| A Disney cartoon airing on cable in New Jersey was suddenly switched to a porno film in New Jersey. How does that keep happening? It has to be someone doing it on purpose. |
| 6:33
| There's also a study out there about abstinence that says the kids who take the pledge to not have sex before marriage aren't any better than the kids who don't. |
| 6:34
| If you take the pledge and then have sex you feel so bad that you have to do it again. It's like eating hot food, you have to keep going because you don't want to feel your mouth burning. |

| Song: All I Wanna Do, Sheryl Crow |
| 6:40
| Steve's tired of hearing about Karl Rove being rude to Sheryl Crow. He's a jerk, you can tell just looking at him. A guy that weird looking is going to be socially awkward but then he has all that power and someone who's diametrically opposed to him is getting up in his face. Steve wouldn't be rude however, he'd be clever and win her over with his humor. Then he'd end up in the cloakroom with her and the Kennedy's would be saying something totally different about him. |
| 6:41
| Now Sheryl Crow is saying she was just kidding about the one sheet of toilet paper per bathroom visit. |
| 6:42
| Steve still likes that song though but apparently Sheryl's outlook has changed a little bit. Being in a touring rock concern can't be too green though can it? |
| 6:50
| Time for a mailbag! First off an email from the guy who named Steve's horse that he needs Buzz to help him understand. |
| 6:51
| The winner was unable to call in when Steve announced the name because he was in a rare meeting. The guy says he's a long time and big fan of the show and has listened no matter when or where Steve is on. |
| 6:52
| The winner will be out at Arlington and he says Steve will be shocked to see him but he can't say why. He did emphasize big in the email so Steve has no idea what that means. Is he really fat or does he mean big in another way? |
| 6:53
| That's really unfair to do that to Steve though because now he's afraid to go out there. He just wanted to make sure he wasn't the only one though. |
| 7:00
| Steve has officially decided he doesn't want anyone calling the station The Package. He doesn't want that pressure. |
| 7:01
| If Steve forces The Package on them and the station fails, they'll be able to blame him. Plus Steve needs Drew back on the blower with those BlueStar Jet people so he can rehearse with The Nadas. |
| 7:02
| Chicago's FM Talk Station is vague though. Bland is the word Buzz would use. |
| 7:03
| Steve still likes The Package, but he's not in the mood to force his Package on someone else. Because you know Drew will sue him for sexual harassment. |
| 7:04
| Matt's working no a new song for his show. Steve saw that he took Tina and Stephanie into the studio, he needed a couple female voices. |
| 7:05
| At what time will Matt debut the song during his sweet 2 hour show? By the time Steve got to Atlantis last night Matt was already done. |
| 7:06
| Matt and Brendan will be out there next Tuesday and they're going to have a great time. There's no way to not have fun. Buzz is welcome to come with them as the elder statesmen. |
