| Steve predicted the Bulls would win last night. He originally predicted a sweep but then he saw something on Sunday that made him think they'd force a game 7. |
| 2:04
| It's OK to change your prediction if you see something from your team in a game. Stan's feeling the Bulls fever now, he's got his Bulls sweatshirt on. |
| 2:05
| Terry saw something similar last night, the Bulls just kept pouring it on. Meanwhile the Pistons had this look on their face like they knew they could win the game at any time because they were at home. |
| 2:06
| There was a point where the Bulls lead was only in the single digits but they turned it up and won. Steve really likes that Tyrus Thomas kid, how amazing is it when he gets airborne? |
| 2:07
| Tina and Stephanie were at the Sox game last night which was rained out. While waiting in the Scout Lounge watching the Bulls game A-Rod walked in. He was wearing stone washed jeans that were way too tight. |
| 2:08
| They both thought he looked like a dork which is probably a bad sign. If there are available women who think you look like a dork you might want to change your look. |
| 2:09
| Steve's not sure if Tina and Stephanie had any contact with A-Rod. Terry can see Tina taunting A-Rod even in the Scout Lounge. |
| 2:10
| Tina probably wouldn't do that with Steve's Scout Seats although apparently Terry would. Had Terry been at the game he probably would have won the wet t-shirt contest. |
| 2:11
| Tina seemed all set to take the day off today to go to the make-up game this afternoon. She didn't seem too happy in the office today. |
| 2:12
| Terry has been to games with Tina and she can get pretty belligerent. Then people look at her shocked that it's coming from a girl. |
| 2:13
| Tina really gets on fans of opposing teams who are at The Cell. Those people are usually asking for it though. |
| 2:14
| One of the White Sox minor league coaches is putting his World Series ring up for auction. Steve's not interested because he's not a 50-year old Jewish woman in need of a new cocktail ring. |
| 2:15
| Steve has a replica of the ring encased in lucite in his office. That's just not a good looking ring. It looks like it was designed by a middle-aged Jewish woman and it was. |
| 2:16
| What would be the point of having a really World Series ring if you weren't on the team? |
| 2:17
| Stan could probably get away with pretending his Jermaine Dye or maybe Harold Baines. |
| 2:18
| A lot of people confuse Stan with Jerry Manuel. He was once yelled at by a Sox fan who thought he was Manuel. People often confuse Steve with Terry Bevington because he walks around with a small dog under his arm. |
| 2:27
| Song: Alive, Pearl Jam |
| 2:32
| That's Steve on guitar in the solo at the end of that song. As Steve predicted the Bulls are still alive. Hopefully Kerry Sayers takes back whatever it is she said to Steve on Monday when he predicted a game 7. |
| 2:33
| Kerry mocked Steve for his prediction just as she mocked him when he predicted the Bulls would sweep the Heat after the second game. Steve did initially predict the Pistons would sweep the Bulls but like any good oddsmaker, he changed his prediction. |
| 2:34
| The odds are definitely against the Bulls tomorrow. No NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs. |
| 2:35
| We could probably find out what the Vegas odds are but those don't always reflect the actual odds of the Bulls winning. A lot of people will bet on the Pistons so the bookmakers will change the odds slightly to get more people to bet on the Bulls. All they really want is the 10% fee for when you lose your bet. |
| 2:36
| Steve used to use an online gambling site called BoDog.com, then he saw a special on 60 Minutes about the owner of the site who lives in the Caribbean and is surrounded by about 20 women. That guy has all of Steve's money! |
| 2:37
| According to Mark the Bulls are favored by a point and a half tomorrow but that's probably just because so many people were betting on the Pistons. |
| 2:38
| The bookmakers only care about being even going into an event. They're trying to figure out how much money they're going to make and they don't want to be giving out more than they take in. |
| 2:39 | Caller Bob wanted to let Steve know that the Pistons were only favored 3-1 to win the series when it started. |
| 2:40
| Bob is recommending the moneyline for game 7 but since the Bulls are only favored by a point and a half tomorrow it's not worth it. |
| 2:41
| Steve is right about the bookmakers laying off the other team so they can get even. That's all they care about going into a game. |
| 2:42
| Buzz starts everyday without the sheet in front of him for the Dahlfins show tickets. Steve keeps wondering why he needs the sheet but apparently he does. |
| 2:43
| The sheet is always in the studio at the end of the show but then someone comes in and removes it. Who's rifling through the papers? |
| 2:44
| It's probably Pete or maybe Brendan. Brendan's probably doing it to make Steve and Buzz look bad so he and Matt can take over their show. |
| 2:45
| Steve has a gambling thing happening now and he's already at BoDog.com so he should stop. That BoDog guy was on 60 Minutes and he was having way too much fun with Steve's money. He had this sweet house in Costa Rica full of endangered hardwoods, marble and whores. |
| 2:47
| Buzz has finally contacted The Nadas about a song to do on Saturday. One of the finalists is Bob Dylan's Leopard-Skin Pill-box Hat. That's basically just a 12-bar blues song. |
| 2:48
| Buzz loves that song but Steve wants to do a real blues song. Does Buzz sing the song like Bob Dylan? |
| 2:49
| It'll probably come down to Walkin' Blues though. That's a good one! Buzz left it up to The Nadas but he shouldn't have. |
| 2:50
| Steve gets that Leopard-Skin Pill-box Hat is structured like a blues song but he wants to do a classic. Walkin' Blues or I'm Ready both sound good to him. |
| 2:51
| Steve just wants Buzz to be able to wail on a blues song. Dylan sends a very mixed message. |
| 2:52
| Steve is looking for old school hardcore Buzz Kilman blues man. Which amp is he bringing? |
| 2:53
| Buzz has his amp choices narrowed down to 5. He has an old Gibson that looks like a sewing machine that he really likes. It doesn't even have a name. |
| 2:54
| Buzz just bought a Fender Champ Amp but he probably won't have it by Saturday. When Steve was a kid the Fender Mustang guitar and Champ Amp were the musicians starter kit. |
| 2:55
| Buzz doesn't really want to talk about how much he spent on the amp. There are way worse things he could be spending his money on though. |
| 2:56
| By the time Buzz croaks Aimee will be able to sell the amp for three times what he paid for it and she'll think he's a genius. |
| 3:01
| Buzz is going to sing the song that he does on Saturday right? He can do whatever song he wants but a classic blues song would be better. |
| 3:02
| Steve's going to play Leopard-Skin Pill-box Hat right now because he likes the song but Saturday night calls for a classic blues song. |
| 3:03
| I'm Ready does have Buzz's favorite blues verse ever. He's being too diplomatic about this he should just do whatever he wants. The Nadas already seem to have enough trouble making choices because they're musicians. |
| 3:04
| Buzz is taking Leopard-Skin Pill-box Hat off the table so it's now down to I'm Ready and Walkin' Blues. He should just do whichever one he wants to do because The Nadas are up for anything. |
| 3:05
| Buzz talked to The Nadas bass player John who's never been on the show. With all due respect to him that's the one guy you don't want to leave in charge of decision making. |
| 3:06
| Buzz had a 15 minute conversation with John that was not fruitful. His final words to him were "ok pick a song and call me tomorrow." |
| 3:07
| John's a good musician and he has his own recording studio but you get the feeling that he thinks everything is beneath him. He makes a lot of mistakes in rehearsal which Steve was quick to point out. That's the kind of leadership he brings with him. |
| 3:08
| Buzz thinks this is all part of the fun of playing a gig but he only has to do one song. Jason keeps telling Steve that if he messes up he can just stop and make fun of it then start over but he doesn't want to do that. |

| Song: Leopard-Skin Pill-box Hat, Bob Dylan |
| 3:15
| The studio door was fixed but now it shuts the same way it did before. Studio doors aren't supposed to make a noise when they close but this one does. |
| 3:16
| There is supposedly a new door on order but Steve wants to see the purchase order before he actually believes it's coming. |
| 3:17
| That's a good Dylan song but Steve still thinks they need to go with a classic blues song for Saturday. |
| 3:18
| Matt and Brendan will be at the Beacon Tap in Des Plaines from 10:00-midnight tonight to give tickets away for the show on Saturday. |
| 3:19
| There's also a giveaway in almost every break during the show when you hear the dolphin sound. Buzz was wondering if that's just a coincidence because when he came in today Jim showed him some video of a dolphin slaughter in Japan. |
| 3:24
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 3:25
| The Little Guys seem very defense in this live read, making sure to point out their current sale is not cheap stuff. A lot of places have sales but they're not really sales. It's like when you go to the outlet stores. Most of that stuff is specifically made for the outlet stores. |
| 3:26
| The gives Buzz a rare opportunity to tell a joke about sales that his grandma told him. When Buzz was a kid he often visited his grandma who lived in Detroit. He would go there around the same time every year and there was a store downtown that always had a sale. |
| 3:27
| Buzz is having trouble remembering how the joke goes. Steve's mind is racing trying to imagine what the punchline is going to be. Will it be anti semitic? Racist? How can he hit the dump button without Buzz noticing? |
| 3:28
| The punchline was something about how the owners of the store were going to give it to their children to let them go out of business. That's very high concept. |
| 3:29
| Steve got an email from Ed from The Little Guys saying he was going to be on vacation. Steve has no idea if he's back yet but he doesn't really need to know that he's on vacation. |
| 3:30
| Buzz got that email too but he didn't know who it was from at first. It said nothing about The Little Guys and Buzz doesn't know Ed's last name. Ed's email should be something like CherokeeEd@aol.com |
| 3:31
| Ed was apparently sending out the email in case Steve or Buzz needed him for something. Steve has recently decided that if he needs something done he'll just call David since everything rolls downhill anyway. |
| 3:32
| Steve hasn't had any problems lately although he and his TiVo are still not seeing eye-to-eye on what needs to be recorded. |
| 3:33
| Steve watched The Sopranos on Comcast On Demand last night although he only saw the beginning where the bad stuff happens. He's looking forward to the scene with Tony in the casino on peyote. For some reason Buzz thought of Steve during that scene. |
| 3:34
| Steve has a question about the episode but he doesn't want to wreck it for people who haven't seen it. He can't keep track of other people's TV schedules, nor can he keep track of Ed's vacation schedule. |
| 3:35
| After Tony and Christopher crashed the camera kept cutting to the backseat where a branch had gone through the window and hit the car seat. There was no baby in the car seat though. Then later Tony mentioned the branch crashing through the window. So he's just saying that they were lucky the baby wasn't in the car at the time? |
| 3:36
| Steve can see why Tony killed Christopher, he was sort of a pain. That storyline is mirroring what's going on in The Shield with Shane, who's also become a real pain. His wife needs to go too. |
| 3:41
| Steve will check out the end of The Sopranos tonight. Buzz thinks he'll find it very amusing. |
| 3:42
| Buzz isn't a big Vegas fan but it makes him want to go there. Steve loves Vegas so he'll definitely want to go. |
| 3:43
| Steve was going to do random phone calls but now there are people calling in for Dahlfins tickets. Steve will ask Pete about the Gilmore Girls finale instead. How was it? Gut-wrenching? |
| 3:44
| Pete watched Gilmore Girls later at night after the Bulls game, the post-game and the news. Was he curled up in bed with a bowl of ice cream? |
| 3:45
| Pete prefers tea. Of course he does because ice cream would be fun. Was it Sleepy Time tea? Was he holding the mug with both hands? |
| 3:46
| Pete has been seeing men holding coffee mugs with two hands on a lot of TV shows and in magazines. He was actually doing that at Arlington before Ed Silha reprimanded him. |
| 3:47
| Unless you're a cowboy sitting around a campfire and it's really cold out you shouldn't hold your mug with two hands. And with 3:48 you probably shouldn't even do it during that scenario. |
| 3:48
| Steve is supposed to go to the Sox game tonight with Mike Dahl but it would be fine if he wanted to take one of his friends instead. Steve has a lot going on this week. |
| 3:49
| Steve also doesn't think the stadium can possibly be clean enough for him after the first game of the day-night double header. He likes coming into a clean stadium. |
| 3:50
| To be honest, Steve doesn't even like coming in late to a game when he's meeting Mike. Mike has already been eating peanuts and he's thrown all his shells under Steve's seat. That means Steve has to kick all of the shells back to Mike. |
| 3:51
| Sometimes people in the seats behind you will put their garbage under your seat. Depending on Steve's mood he'll either pick it up and bring it to the garbage or ask the people if it's theirs. They're so taken aback by the question that they always say yes and take it from him. |
| 3:52
| Live read: Cheeseburger in Paradise |
| 3:53
| Steve has to talk to Mike and see if he wants to go tonight. He sort of feels like he's not getting his money's worth going to the second game. Plus they'll probably have the same food in the buffet from the first game. |
| 3:54
| Steve also likes to see who's playing in the second game. If the line-up is all the scrubs he doesn't want to go. He wants AJ catching. |
| 4:00
| On the phone is Kerry Sayers from Comcast Sportsnet. Kerry mocked Steve for thinking the Bulls/Pistons series would go to 7 days. |
| 4:01
| Kerry doesn't think she was mocking Steve, she just didn't have faith in the Bulls. Steve expects full devotion though. |
| 4:02
| Steve is still not saying whether the Bulls will win game 7, he needs to see how they play tomorrow. |
| 4:03
| Steve noticed last night when he was watching the game that there were 4 courtside seats between the Bulls bench and the scorers table. One of the guys seemed to really hate the Bulls. |
| 4:04
| Not to excuse what Ron Artest did but there's a reason that whole fight started at The Palace a few years ago. It seems like if you have courtside seats you should adhere to a certain level of decorum. |
| 4:05
| The Pistons probably don't care what happens next to the opponents bench but if Steve Schanwald is listening Steve is willing to sit next to the Pistons bench tomorrow and hassle them. He could probably even fly Pat Dahl in, that's all you'd really need. |
| 4:06
| The key to tomorrow's game is to get a hot start. The Bulls have the momentum swinging their way so they should come out hot. |
| 4:07
| The Sox beat the Yankees 5-3 today and they have another game tonight. Danks was pretty impressive, holding the Yankees to 2 runs. |
| 4:08
| Steve has the line-up for tonight's game and AJ is starting so that's good. If Steve's going to a game he wants AJ catching. |
| 4:09
| The line-up Steve has says Danks is pitching so it's probably from the first game. It was sent to Mark by Tina who's supposed to be a huge Sox fan. |
| 4:10
| The Cubs are on Comcast tonight if they play the game. Rain is expected in New York but they should be able to get it in. |
| 4:11
| Steve is getting a very long explanation for why he had the wrong line-up. Mark is saying it's his fault but Tina is saying that it's WhiteSoxInsiders.com who posted the bad line-up. |
| 4:12
| Tina and Stephanie went to the game last night even though it was rained out. Steve told them they could use the tickets for whenever they made it up but she assumed that meant they could go today. |
| 4:13
| Steve is going to the Sox game with Mike tonight. MIke already stopped by to get his ticket as well as the parking pass and his VIP passes for Saturday. Steve's not sure if Mike is a VIP but whatever. |
| 4:14
| Steve would like to once again offer up Pat Dahl's services for tomorrow's Bulls game. Steve would probably have to go with because he needs a handler to stop him from heckling during the National Anthem. |
| 4:22
| Steve has no idea what Ozzie just said in that drop but it all sounded good. Something about John Danks. |
| 4:23
| Steve will go to the game and not complain about it being too messy or the line-up having all second string players. It's supposed to be a nice night and Steve has his jacket and Chicago Olympics hat which is now illegal. |
| 4:24
| The IOC is making Chicago change the Olympics logo. You can't use the torch in your logo which seems a little heavy-handed. That's all part of maintaining the trademark. |
| 4:25
| Caller Phil is wondering if heckling is genetic because Rick Dahl once heckled Steve at a Teenage Radiation show at the Bismarck Hotel. Rick heckled him worse than he's ever been heckled before. It was so crazy and mean that Steve had to stop and see who was doing it. |
| 4:26
| Steve doesn't remember what happened after that but later on Rick went up to a room they had rented, turned on the jacuzzi and then passed out. He caused about $10,000 in damage. |
| 4:27
| So far no one has called Steve about sitting courtside with Pat. Drew's probably all over it. |
| 4:28
| Steve still finds it weird that WCKG has a box at the Bulls games and he and Buzz have not been invited to any of the games. Who's bigger than Steve and Buzz? They're the signature personalities! You can say what you want about Garry but he has no track record here yet. |
| 4:29
| Steve's not saying anything bad about Garry, the caller isn't listening carefully. He's too busy thinking about what he's going to say next. |
| 4:29
| Steve is demanding from Tom the office manager a manifest of who's in the box for tomorrow's game. |
| 4:31
| Steve wasn't saying anything about Garry, people need to pay more attention. Phil had his own show going, you could hear the goofy smile on his face. |
| 4:32
| Steve just let Phil and his goofy smile go because he's trying to be better about that stuff. It really cuts down on the callers if you belittle everyone. Meanwhile Stan and Terry will put anyone on and let them talk forever. |
| 4:33
| Stan and Terry have too many guests on their show too. Who said we have to have guests, isn't this station supposed to be host-driven? Today they had some children's book author on there and he talked for 45 minutes. |
| 4:35
| Chicago must remove the torch from their Olympic logo because it is prohibited for potential bid cities. So Steve has an outlaw hat. It seems unnecessary to make them change the logo. |
| 4:36
| Steve really hates the pomposity of the Olympics, especially the opening ceremonies. It's just a bunch of guys walking around in shorts and those hats. |
| 4:40
| Caller Mike was listening to Stan and Terry today and they were interviewing Henry Winkler, who just wrote a children's book. It's not that hard to write a children's book is it? |
| 4:41
| The Fonz sounded really dopey too. Steve was sitting in his car and actually said out loud "who is this fruit?" |
| 4:42
| Steve doesn't like guests. He hates guests and celebrities. What does Henry Winkler have to say that Steve cares about except "AY!" |

| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:50
| The Senate has rejected a Democratic measure to cut off funds for the war by next spring. It also rejected a Republican measure to set benchmarks for the new Iraqi government. |
| 4:51
| Prince Harry will not be going to Iraq. Britain's Army Chief of Staff Sir Richard Dannatt said the situation in Iraq has become too dangerous for Prince Harry and the members of his regiment. |
| 4:52
| John Bolton is calling for Iran to be attacked before it's able to develop nuclear weapons. That guy looks like Mark Twain but he sounds like he's in high school. Either way he's creepy-looking. |
| 4:53
| Studs Terkel is celebrating his 95th birthday today. Buzz runs into Studs at the bus stop periodically and he doesn't look 95. He's always carrying around an armful of newspapers. |
| 4:54
| The Hubble telescope has discovered what scientists believe is a ring of dark matter around a solar system. It could be the first recorded sighting of dark matter. |
| 4:55
| Scientists believe that dark matter holds together many large galaxies. Do those guys realize that most people have no idea what they're talking about with this stuff? Steve doesn't know about dark matter or black holes or any of that stuff, he's just living on earth. He can't even get the line-up for tonight's Sox game! |

| Ben Gay is here and he's fabulous. How could you not be on a day like this? The weather is nice and the Bulls won last night. He must be in seventh heaven. |
| 5:03
| Ben actually had lunch at Heaven on Seven, he just loves those jalapeño corn bread muffins. He loves corn meal actually, he has some in his underpants right now. |
| 5:04
| Ben was listening to the show earlier today and he heard that Tina and Stephanie saw A-Rod leaving the Sox game in some acid washed jeans last night. Ben actually bought those for him and left them in his locker. Ben still wears acid washed jeans, they're coming back |
| 5:05
| Ben bought the pants small because he wanted them to fit like baseball pants. He bought him a boys regular size which sounds creepy. |
| 5:06
| Ben has been banned from the locker rooms at The Cell so he had to have Les Grobstein put them in there. Les might have wanted them for himself because Ben caught him trying them on. |
| 5:07
| Ben is just taking a break in between the doubleheader games. He'll go back in a little while because all members of the press get a free meal. Ben hasn't been banned from the press box, just the locker room. He couldn't help himself down there, it was like being in a bathhouse. |
| 5:08
| The Bulls beat the Pistons last night to force a game 6 tomorrow at the United Center. |
| 5:09
| Steve Kashul was calling the game and he did a fine job. Ben has also been banned from the United Center so he had to listen to the game on the radio. |
| 5:10
| The White Sox beat the Yankees, or the Crank-Me's as Ben likes to call them. That's one of the reasons he was banned from the locker rooms. There was also that time when he declared it was free hot dog night. |
| 5:11
| The Cubs are at Shea Stadium tonight for the third game of a four game series against the Mets. That game could have some weather issues though. |
| 5:12
| The Mets have released a statement condemning a hip-hop song featuring outfielder Lastings MIlledge. The song contains vulgar language, refers to women in a derogatory manner and the n-word is used multiple times. In a rap song?! Shocking! |
| 5:20
| Time for Random Phone Calls. Buzz loves the music. |
| 5:21
| The first caller hung up, that's a good start. Steve would like to formally say that Stan shouldn't be able to say "you're in the air" when he talks to callers. It's probably some form of flattery but he shouldn't be saying it. |
| 5:22
| Garry shouldn't be saying it either. Stan says it like he's the one who thought of it. It's a little irritating. |
| 5:23
| The first caller wanted to say the show sounds better after the demise of Wendy. Steve doesn't know what he means by demise. That's Wendy making the dolphin noise. |
| 5:24
| The next caller is looking forward to coming out to the show on Saturday. Right now he's stuck in traffic though but he's looking forward to the show. |
| 5:25
| The next caller misses Janet's on-air interactions with Steve and was wondering if she'd be on in the future. Interactions? Steve's not stopping Janet from calling but mostly she just IMs him. She's free to call whenever she wants though. |
| 5:26
| The next caller wants to know what Steve gave out to trick or treaters last Halloween. This has a bad feel to it. Steve gave away whole candy bars, mostly Baby Ruth's and Butterfingers plus Skittles. Steve doesn't like Skittles though but he had a lot of Baby Ruth's and Butterfingers. |
| 5:27
| Janet mostly yells at Steve over IM although he doesn't get yelled at as much as he used to. Before he'd be out for three days and they had little kids. She still yells as him plenty on IM but she also has Matt to yell at as well. |
| 5:28
| Occasionally Steve hears that Matt is being yelled at and he's glad it's not him. The other day she made him play a Judy Collins song for Mother's Day. |
| 5:29
| The next caller wants to know the name of Steve's favorite taco place. It's north of O'Hare, that's all he'll say. Steve hasn't been to his taco place in a while and he's not trying to be a jerk by not saying where it is. He just likes going to a place where no one knows who he is. |
| 5:30
| The next caller was wondering why some of the WCKG promos say "Elmwood Park/Chicago". Originally it was a suburban station licensed in Elmwood Park. Then someone bought it and put in for a power increase. They also moved the transmitter downtown but you still have to say Elmwood Park because that's where it was licensed. |
| 5:31
| WCKG should put in for another power increase and also to have the license moved to Chicago. CBS should also buy up all the stations that bleed into our signal. |
| 5:32
| The next caller is new to the area and he really likes it. He's heard Steve spin the wheel and wants to know how many numbers are on it. Another good question. There are 24 numbers on the wheel. |
| 5:38
| So often whatever Steve is thinking can be summed up by the Gilmore girls, Homer Simpson or Hank Hill. That's nice company. |

| Bob and Ron are here. Bob has a story that's more in the bonehead category that Steve usually enjoys. |
| 5:41
| The other day it was really hot in Bob's apartment so he put a fan in the window to get some cool air in there. It was the same window Bob has his AC in and there were a bunch of t-shirts and newspapers wedged in there to keep the AC steady. |
| 5:42
| Bob was pulling things out of there so they wouldn't fall onto the sidewalk. What he thought was a t-shirt was actually a dead pigeon. |
| 5:43
| Earlier in the week Steve talked to Bob about the bad engineering on their weekend show. Ron has the feeling that their board op thinks it's his show. He was crystal clear but you could barely understand Bob and Ron. |
| 5:44
| Why don't Bob and Ron just do their own board oping? And they could also use a little more explaining about why people from Seattle are calling in. |
| 5:45
| This week is the birthday of Savoy Brown drummer Roger Earl. Steve used to play Louisiana Blues in his Black Creek days. |
| 5:46
| This week is also the birthday of David Byrne of the Talking Heads. He made geek rock cool. Steve will be at the Arcade Fire show on Friday so he'll see a lot of that. |
| 5:47
| One thing Steve is going to do is buy a t-shirt that's a few sizes too small like Jim and Pete. |
| 5:48
| It's also Jack Bruce's birthday from Cream. The song they picked today is N.S.U. which stands for non-specific urethritis which is a VD. Allegedly Eric Clapton had NSU at one time. |
| 5:49
| NSU isn't a VD it's just a bladder infection. You might think you have a VD but you don't. |
| 5:50
| Song: N.S.U., Cream |
| 5:53
| The CD Bob and Ron brought in also has the Savoy Brown song which Steve will play after the break. |
| 5:58
| Steve was just looking at the weather forecast, this is one of those nights where he doesn't go to the game. He doesn't know how to break that to Mike though. Has he been here yet or is he here now? |
| 5:59
| Steve doesn't want to sit in the rain because Ed Farmer will make fun of him for being all bundled up. |
| 6:00
| Mike Dahl does not come up for the tickets, he has someone run them down to him. |

| Mike Dahl is on the phone, he's in the middle of the ticket pick-up. There's no free parking around the station so he just circles the block. |
| 6:02
| There's already going to be garbage around the seats from the first game and it'll be wet. He's not interested in sitting in wet filth. |
| 6:03
| Now Steve is being told by Janet to go to the game. If he gets struck by lightning Mike will never hear the end of it. |
| 6:04
| Steve will probably just have dinner at the game and then leave. He's already eaten a lot today because he had lunch at Joe's Stone Crab with Rich Melman. |
| 6:05
| The last time Steve had lunch there with Rich he turned him on to salmon au poiver which he loved. Today he turned him on to black rock cod which was great. Steve doesn't think he likes fish and then he has some and he loves it. |
| 6:06
| Song: Louisiana Blues, Savoy Brown |
| 6:08
| Steve's cutting that song short, we've probably heard enough of it. |
| 6:09
| Caller Sam wanted to let Steve know he probably had the miso black cod at Joe's Stone Crab today. They also have great fried chicken but that would probably require a nap afterwards. |
| 6:10
| It's interesting to be at a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant with Rich Melman because the waiter sort of freaks out. Any mistake you make could be a career ender. |
| 6:11
| Dan Falato claims that he was at Food Life once and he wanted to know what was in a cookie. The woman behind the counter didn't know so he called Rich Melman. Rich talked to the woman and allegedly fired her because she didn't know. |
| 6:12
| Steve knows Rich Melman pretty well, it doesn't seem like he'd fire someone over that. That story sounds apocryphal as all of Dan's stories are. That doesn't make them any less interesting. |
| 6:13
| Bob and Ron will be making the scene on Saturday night. Have they demanded VIP tickets like everyone else has? |
| 6:19
| Song: Grizzly Jack's Grand Bear Resort |
| 6:21
| Caller Ben has been listening since 2:00. He's at The Joan right now and things are dry but the field is wet. |
| 6:22
| Steve can see pretty far west and it looks like things are clearing up a bit. Steve reserves the right to stand up Mike Dahl whenever he wants. |
| 6:23
| Ben's sister is a Wozny. Buzz might know that name because he met his sister last year when Rockit Bar brought some burgers in. He also knows Steve Wozny who is the keyboard player for Badfinger. |
| 6:24
| Steve heard this call being screened and he thought it was going to be about cicadas. He didn't hear anything about obscure members of Badfinger. |
| 6:25
| Steve got an email from Billy Dec/Rockit Bar inviting him to watch the Bulls game there. Last night Billy Dec was at the game though so he's not even at Rockit Bar. |
| 6:26
| Ben was calling to say that his wife saw a cicada the other day at the forest preserve. What was she doing there? |
| 6:27
| It is getting very dark out. A Steve Dahl does not attend baseball games in these conditions. |
| 6:28
| Song: Cicada, S.R. Dahl |
| 6:31
| That song is 17 years old but it's still timely or at least it's timely every 17 years. |

| Steve was going to do some weather but then Mark took it off his page. There was a storm going through Chicago but the warning was canceled. Steve's always too late for it anyway. |
| 6:38
| Tommy Skillethead was going to say something along those lines but Steve did a fine job anyway. |
| 6:39

| World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz is on his way out. He apparently violated the terms of his contract and gave his girlfriend a big promotion at the World Bank. |

| Prince Harry will not be deployed to Iraq. Do they have Prince Harry in a can or do they call it a latrine? |

| XM Radio Holdings have suspended Opie & Anthony after a regular guest of the show joked about raping Condi Rice. |
| 6:44
| Steve's not defending what O & A said but they've just been caught in the middle of two failing satellite radio companies trying to merge. |
| 6:45
| Hopefully this means that O & A will leave satellite and be on the air here for 4 hours a day. |
| 6:46
| If you're listening to O & A on satellite it's because you want to hear stuff like that. It still doesn't excuse what they said though. Why would you even allow someone to say that, it does no good? They weren't the ones who said it either it was some homeless guy. |
| 6:56
| Matt and Brendan are heading out to the Beacon Tap in Des Plaines tonight after the show to give away Dahlfins tickets. |
| 6:57
| Matt and Brendan are carpooling because they're green. Brendan doesn't have a car but he does have use of his mom's car. Matt is also using his mom's car. |
| 6:58
| Today Steve was keeping it real by taking a cab to Joe's Stone Crab. He told the guy where he was going and he said "which one?" Certainly not the one in Miami or Vegas. |
| 6:59
| Steve told him there was only one but he kept saying there were too many. Eventually Steve just got out of the cab and found another one. |
| 7:00
| The next cab driver was actually listening to Stan and Terry and was a fan of the station. Even though Steve was keeping it real by taking a cab he always gives the driver a $20 for a short ride like that. |
| 7:01
| As it turns out keeping it real is not that easy. On the way back the driver was a young Mexican kid with a sweet Jade Dragon Tattoo hat. He wasn't too friendly until Steve gave him the big tip. |
