| It's fine with Steve is the Bulls win tonight since they're on this station. Matt and Brendan also benefit from the ratings that the Bulls games get. |
| 2:01
| Matt Dahl just used Steve's Green Room bathroom in an egregious manner. There's not enough Lysol in the world to fix that problem. |
| 2:02
| Couldn't Matt wait 5 minutes until his show was over to use the one down the hall? Matt doesn't have a key for that bathroom but we can get him one. |
| 2:03
| Matt should also get a parking pass for the building after today. He cut it very close coming in today. |
| 2:04
| Steve also knows how much money Matt makes, he shouldn't be paying for parking on the emergency credit card. Steve is about ready to crack down on all three boys with those cards. |
| 2:05
| Matt doesn't even really know where he parked because he was in such a mad rush to get up here. He's never parked down here in the morning and the lot was full. |
| 2:06
| That's a feeble excuse since Matt and Brendan used to have a midday show. Steve's also poking holes feeble excuses these days. Last night Mike was trying to explain why he has Tina or Stephanie run tickets down to him. |
| 2:07
| Matt should look into the parking passes that the station has reserved. They won't pay for them but they have some to buy. |
| 2:08
| Why doesn't Matt just take the EL or the bus? There's a bus hub right in front of his apartment. |
| 2:09
| Matt doesn't take the bus because it's not reliable. And he's Mr. Reliable? Sometimes there will be three buses right in a row and then another one won't come for a while. |
| 2:10
| Matt doesn't have trouble getting here on time for his normal shift and he was only a minute late today. Steve stopped being late for work when he stopped drinking. |
| 2:11
| Matt and Brendan were at the Beacon Tap last night giving tickets away for the Dahlfins show. It went pretty well except Bob and Ron's names were up in lights because that was supposed to be their appearance. |
| 2:12
| Apparently Jeff Schmidt is a big fan of Bob and Ron and they're always doing Budweiser appearances. Maybe Jeff is a Phish- or Deadhead |
| 2:13
| Brendan and Matt were supposed to be in Gages Lake on Friday night but Matt was complaining about all the stuff they had to do tomorrow and then Saturday morning. Luckily Bob and Ron were able to clear their schedule. |
| 2:14
| Steve is not looking forward to the remote broadcast tomorrow. He'll be there right in the middle of the afternoon while the game is going on and then afterwards when all the drunks pile in. |
| 2:15
| Steve had his fill of drunks at the Sox game last night. The rain delay didn't help plus it's the Yankees and a lot of people hate them. No matter what you say to the Yankees they're still cool. They don't even have their names on their away jerseys! |
| 2:16
| Steve and Mike left early because it was cold out but it was fun watching all the drunks. Some of them might have been at both games and were therefore drinking from 1:00 PM on. |
| 2:25
| It's Thursday and time for Music Snob Corner with our own Pete Zimmerman, resident music snob. There are several music snobs here but Pete is the top music snob. There are several others vying for the title but Pete is hanging on by keeping it weird and small. |
| 2:26
| Pete has a potential first for Music Snob Corner, a giveaway. What's he giving away, his virginity? Pete has his Arcade Fire tickets which he's not using because Steve got 4 for them and Jim and his black girlfriend. |
| 2:27
| Steve just wanted to sit on the aisle and Pete is on the aisle but he didn't bother looking that up until after he got the 4 seats from Jam. |
| 2:28
| Does Steve have his 4 tickets? We should be sure before we give Pete's away. |
| 2:29
| Pete wants to give his tickets away, how do we do that? How about an Arcade Fire trivia question? Steve is guessing it's somewhere in Canada. |
| 2:30
| The first person who can tell Pete where the Arcade Fire hails from wins the tickets. The show open might have given listeners a clue. Pete doesn't know how the people will get the tickets though. |
| 2:31
| We can probably leave the tickets at the box office since it's the Chicago Theater. Pete doesn't even know there's an entire city outside of his studio. He likes to |
| 2:32
| Brendan is screening callers for the contest but doesn't know the answer to the question. Someone said New York and that's wrong since it's not in Canada. |
| 2:33
| Caller Chris' guess is Montreal, he's correct. Now he has Pete's tickets for the show tomorrow. That's a sold out show tomorrow. |
| 2:34
| Steve is looking forward to the show tomorrow, he really likes Arcade Fire. They've got a couple girls in the band and the seats are close so they'll probably be making googly eyes at Steve. They'll wonder who that cougar is in the 4th row. Or is Steve a mountain line? |
| 2:35
| Today's song is by the Arcade Fire. Nice! He really has it together today, congrats. |
| 2:36
| Song: Neighborhood #3 (Power Out), Arcade Fire |
| 2:41
| Are Steve and Pete going to take X or smoke pot before the show? Based on that Sopranos Steve might want to take peyote. |
| 2:42
| Steve didn't think Pete would say yes to taking X. Are they a gay couple? |
| 2:43
| The effects of X are far too vague for Steve to actually take any. He'll wait for the pharmaceutical grade X to come out. |
| 2:44
| Hey good news, there's cake down the hall. People are really big with the cakes around here. Buzz loves cakes! |
| 2:45
| Steve's still paying off that $500 cake he got for Buzz for his 60th birthday. If Dan is in charge of the cake be prepared for quite a ride. |
| 2:46
| Dan must have not gotten cakes as a kid because he's completely obsessed with getting them for other people. There was one time when John Hiatt was here on his birthday and Dan insisted on getting him a cake. |
| 2:47
| The cake is for Tom the office manager. His birthday is Saturday but since there's an all-station remote they did the cake today. |
| 2:48
| Technically tomorrow is not the entire station because someone couldn't get O & A here. Garry seems to have quite the morning planned. He's having breakfast delivered by 7-11 and then the Beatle Brothers will be performing. The Beatle Brothers? Even Johnny B wouldn't do that. |
| 2:49
| Drew is having some sort of moist dream about this all-day remote, he seems to be pinning all his hopes on it. He's trying to show we're all a family. |
| 2:50
| A few years ago Steve did a remote with Kevin Matthews in the morning before opening day then had best of that afternoon. There are only about 28,000 people who go to opening day so what about the other 6 million people? |
| 2:51
| Someone got Tom an iPod cake. That has Dan written all over it. Dan also had a bad birthday involving an iPod that was supposed to be his but ended up on Buzz's desk. Dan is merging his two worst birthday memories into Tom's cake. |
| 2:52
| What the hell is an iPod cake? Is it just a rectangle with a frosted dial? Tom only sent this email to certain people that he likes. Steve was not on that list. |
| 2:53
| Steve openly mocks the birthday cakes around here even though his family fortune was made on the invention of those plastic cake domes. |
| 2:54
| Pete is still debating about whether or not he'll put cotton in his ears during the Arcade Fire show. If he does Steve is definitely not sitting next to him. |
| 2:55
| Pete will be three people away from Steve so he won't even notice. Steve doesn't really think he should sit next to Jim's girlfriend since he's said it several times already. |
| 2:56
| Pete won't wear cotton and he'll sit next to Steve as a buffer. Buf her? Buzz doesn't even know her! |
| 2:57
| Buzz is like our own Michael Scott. That's what she said! |

| 3:06
| How's Brendan doing after the big show today? He and Matt filled in for Stan and Terry today. They would have had a show tonight if the Bulls hadn't forced game 6. |
| 3:07
| Where are Stan and Terry at? It seems weird to just take off a Thursday. Stan might still be mad that he had to give up his spring break the week that Garry started. |
| 3:08
| Steve calls Drew's office. He needs to turn his radio down before he can talk to him. |
| 3:09
| Stan and Terry took a personal day. Drew doesn't know for sure what they were doing but it was some sort of public service thing for a school. Is Stan going to be principal-for-a-day somewhere? |
| 3:10
| Did Stan take the day off for Jeffrey's science fair? |
| 3:11
| Drew is really looking forward to tomorrow. This is the kind of thing that really pulls it all together for him. No one is going to be together though, it's not like Steve is showing up at 8:00 AM. |
| 3:12
| Drew is really just looking forward to the wings. He should just say that then. Steve likes wings too. He once downed 2 dozen at a Buffalo Wild Wings in New Buffalo. He staggered out of there like a punch-drunk fighter. |
| 3:13
| Steve doesn't like a lot of sauce on his wings. Drew thinks you have to have the sauce. He sure makes a lot of declarative statements like that. He acts like he's the emperor but he's not the emperor of Steve. It's clearly a Napoleonic complex. |
| 3:14
| Steve is always taken aback by Drew's mandates. Theoretically he's dealing with iconoclasts here so that's dangerous behavior. Luckily for Drew Steve and Buzz are the only iconoclasts. They're leftover from the beat generation. |
| 3:15
| Drew doesn't know where that came from but he doesn't think Steve should say it. Are they avant garde? How far back was that? |
| 3:16
| Steve's going to have to cut off Drew. Why does he tell Steve "don't say that!" He just made a funny joke about the beat generation. It's like when Kerry Sayers told Steve not to make fun of Dwayne Wade's leotard. |
| 3:21
| It occurred to Steve today during his meetings with the promotions staff that the free tickets for the Dahlfins show is pretty nice. He'd normally charge $30 bucks for those. You can thank Budweiser for that. |
| 3:22
| Does Buzz still want a stack of tickets to giveaway? No one has walked up to Steve and asked for any. |
| 3:23
| Steve would charge at least $30 per ticket for this concert. He could probably charge more because he hasn't played live in 10 years. |
| 3:24
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 3:25
| Steve was going to call Drew back for something but he can't remember what it was now. He had another question for him. |
| 3:33
| We're going to be talking to someone from Comcast very soon but before we do that, Steve would like to play something from the new Wilco album. |
| 3:34
| Steve likes the new album even though it's different. Jeff Tweedy is taking some heat for the album being different but so what? If you're an artist you're always changing. |
| 3:35
| Song: Impossible Germany, Wilco |
| 3:41
| There's some really good guitar work on the end of that song too. |
| 3:42
| The Sox are beating the Yankees 4-1 right now. Buzz had the pleasure of being in Drew's office earlier when Jermaine Dye hit a home run. That's why Steve was going to call Drew, it was about the Yankees. |
| 3:43
| Say what you will about the Yankees but they're just a cool team, they always will be. They don't even have their last name's on their jerseys on the road! |
| 3:44
| Steve doesn't hate the Yankees like most people do. He always enjoys going to see the Yankees. It's cool just to watch the team and if you're team beats them then it's impressive. |
| 3:45
| Steve ended up having a good time at the Sox game last night, they really did a good job of cleaning the ballpark up. Steve doesn't know why he always thinks he won't have a good time. |
| 3:46
| Steve and Mike did have a little bit of a dust-up in the bathroom though. You're supposed to form a line in the center of the urinals and the next person goes to the next available urinal. |
| 3:47
| Mike just lined up behind the person at the urinal and didn't create a line. Then someone was able to cut in front of Mike because there was no line. |
| 3:48
| Mike said that's how they do it in the concourse bathrooms but they weren't in the concourse. They were in the premium seat bathrooms where people act like gentlemen. |
| 3:54
| On the phone is Pat Boyle from Comcast Sportsnet. The Sox are on the verge of beating the Yankees which will be the 4th series win in a row. |
| 3:55
| Steve has been hearing a lot about the White Sox poor offensive showing but it's really something to actually witness in person. |
| 3:56
| It seems like the hecklers really step it up when the Yankees are in town though. They have more venom but they sound a lot dumber. |
| 3:57
| There were an inordinate amount of drunk people at the game last night which makes Steve think those people were there all day. It's the only way to stay warm. |
| 3:58
| The Cubs had a 5-1 lead going into the bottom of the 9th today and gave up 5 runs to lose 6-5. |
| 3:59
| Lou's post-game press conference was priceless. He says "I don't know" about 15 times in 2 minutes. |
| 4:00
| Steve still feels the Bulls will win tonight but he's not making predictions about what happens in game 7. |
| 4:01
| Comcast has the Bulls game on in HD tonight. They also have the Sox/Cubs game tomorrow. |
| 4:07
| Steve went in and asked Pete if he had any of the Lou post-game but it was on WGN and they go right into the Andy Griffith Show. |
| 4:08
| If it was on Comcast they'd go right to Lou Piniella. We're trying to get the press conference now but it's irritating. A significant part of this baseball season would be Lou Piniella and seeing how he reacts to the Cubs doing what they do. Or you could watch Andy Griffith. |

| Steve calls down to Jim's office to have him bring down the audio. Steve told him not to come in during the break because he needs to talk to him. |
| 4:11
| Jim has been very efficient with the news audio lately and he's even telling Steve that he's bringing it in. |
| 4:12
| Steve can see how people never want to tell him anything though because when they do he has a look on his face that says "why are you telling me?". Despite that look Steve does want to know. |
| 4:13
| Jim shouldn't leave yet because Steve has the Arcade Fire tickets to divvy up. As much as he wants to sit next to Jim's girlfriend he feels that he shouldn't now that he's talked about it so much. |
| 4:14
| Jim doesn't mind if his girlfriend sits next to Steve though. If she wants to move during the show, maybe while Jim is at the snack bar, that's perfectly fine with Steve. She might want to be near the aisle as well. She could sit on Steve's lap maybe. |
| 4:15
| If there were a fire he could carry Jim's girlfriend out and leave Pete and Jim to burn. In the event that there's an arcade fire he can take her to safety. Steve needs to figure out which seat is an aisle. It doesn't really matter though. It's not like Jim won't give up the aisle seat if that's the ticket he gets. |
| 4:16
| One of Jim's girlfriend's friends is going to take their two tickets. Who are they? Girls? If they're girls they can sit by Steve and Jim and Pete can sit in the other seat. |
| 4:17
| Jim is going to pick out his coolest tight t-shirt to wear to the show tomorrow. Steve will buy one at the show. All t-shirts are small on Steve but if he drops to an XL he'll have the sweet Pete/Jim kid look. |
| 4:18
| Buzz is wondering where the show is. It's at the Chicago Theater. Where has Buzz been? WCKG, 105.9 tune in. We've been talking about this for 2 months. This is the guy who still hasn't seen the Comcast/Spider-Man commercial. |
| 4:19
| Buzz actually did see that commercial 2 nights ago but kept forgetting to tell Steve. It's a really funny commercial. Buzz was just thinking if the show was at The Riv or the Aragon they could drop by the house afterwards. Buzz would love to meet the black girlfriend. |
| 4:20
| Buzz has actually met Jim's girlfriend, who isn't black. Jim never had a black girlfriend but Dan told Steve he did. Does Jim have a black friend? |
| 4:21
| Jim has a black friend that he took to a concert at the House of Blues with Terry Armour. Then Terry told Dan it was his girlfriend and Dan told Steve. That Terry Armour is trouble. |
| 4:22
| Terry Armour is here, Mary told him to come in and defend himself although he doesn't know why. Is he drunk? He seems drunk. Terry was at the show when Jim unveiled his black girlfriend but it wasn't really his girlfriend. |
| 4:23
| Stan and Terry took the day off for a career day at Jeffrey's school. Stan got involved and then he made Terry do it because he didn't want him to have a day off. |
| 4:24
| Stan opened up everything by asking who was familiar with Marconi. The kids probably thought he was talking about macaroni. Stan seemed to be under the impression that he was supposed to give the kids the history of radio. |
| 4:25
| Then Terry just told the kids he was a newspaper man and that Halle Berry kissed him once. This is like the time that Buzz told those kids at the black high school to "get jiggy with it." |
| 4:26
| So Jim does not have a black girlfriend although he wouldn't be opposed to that. Terry has a white wife so maybe he's projecting. Terry got tickets for a show at the House of Blues and he took a friend of his. So he did have a black girlfriend at least for one night. |
| 4:27
| Terry remembers Jim begging him for the tickets and the opera box at the House of Blues to impress this girl. Terry didn't know she was going to be African-American until they got there and he strolled in. |
| 4:28
| Terry might have just been mad that Jim had a black girlfriend because he can't score one himself. |
| 4:33
| Steve loves Stan but someone needs to get him off this professorial kick he's on. Was he always like this? |
| 4:34
| Terry said that Stan really did start talking about Marconi and the invention of the radio. Someone needs to lighten him up a bit. |
| 4:35
| The professorial thing will work on a comedic level as long as Stan admits that it's funny. Terry needs to beat on Stan until he admits that it's funny. |
| 4:36
| Stan might feel more pressure to be a role model because he's black but he doesn't have to do that. If he could just stipulate that he's weird then it would make everything funnier. |
| 4:37
| We'll see what happens tomorrow because Terry seemed ready to go. He really needs to get all over him because Stan will keep deflecting it with intellect. |
| 4:38
| Steve really likes Stan and Terry and he wants to see them succeed. It certainly helps that they're black because it's something that's unique to the marketplace. |
| 4:39
| Every once in a while you have to sell yourself out a little bit. You don't have to know anything in this business. If you don't know something you can say that and then someone will call in and tell you. Or you can say something that's wrong and then get corrected. |

| Steve got his new grill with the infrared. He has a feeling that after the Yak-Zies broadcast and the Cubby Bear show on Saturday he'll want a nice steak. |
| 4:42
| Steve sort of doesn't want to use it because right now it's gleaming in his backyard. It has all the features of grills that are thousands of dollars but it's in the $1600 range. |
| 4:43
| Buzz just has a regular Weber kettle but Steve is recommending the Weber gas grill. He has a feeling that part of the reason Buzz doesn't grill is because it takes so long to fire the coals up. WIth a gas grill you can have it all fired up in 5 minutes. |
| 4:44
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:45
| Lawmakers have struck a bi-partisan deal on the immigration issue. That's only in committee though, it still has to get through both the Senate and the House. |
| 4:46
| On the way in today Steve heard that the deal would include allowing illegal immigrants to stay here if they get on the path to becoming legal citizens. It also calls for tightening up the borders. |
| 4:47
| The plan would create a temporary worker program to bring new arrivals to the U.S. and another program for agricultural workers already here. Steve just doesn't want to have to mow his own lawn. |
| 4:48
| R. Kelly was on the cover of the Sun-Times today about some comments he made to a magazine. He called himself today's Ali, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley and Martin Luther King. |
| 4:49
| Steve just saw R. Kelly at The Color Purple premiere in Chicago. It seems weird that he gets invited to a play about abusing women. |
| 4:50
| That guy has the best lawyer ever. It's been five years since all that stuff happened and he's gone out on tour, made that Standin' in the Closet series and goes to The Color Purple premiere. |
| 5:00
| The Bluestar people are one of the sponsors for the Dahlfins show on Saturday. If Steve sees one of them he's going to work him a little bit. |
| 5:01
| Right now it seems like if there is a jet deal out there it'll have to come to Steve. He likes to think that person is out there right now waiting to get to a point in his career when he can do that for Steve. |

| Steve sees that Chef Hans is out in the hallway for Meat Talk. He was going to bring in a crab salad today but he forgot all about it. |
| 5:04
| Hans seems very rattled that he forgot the salad but Steve and Buzz don't need anything. |
| 5:11
| Steve finally watched the end of The Sopranos. Buzz has no idea why Tony in the casino on peyote reminds him of Steve though. |
| 5:12
| It could be the private jet and the limo. Steve likes going to Vegas and setting up by himself. Vegas is a good place to do some soul-searching because all of the bad stuff you can possibly do is right outside your door. |
| 5:13
| Chef Hans is here. No worries about the crab salad. He totally crabbed out! Just to go back, the salad is something Hans is making for a competition. |
| 5:14
| Hans is hosting 18 judges at the restaurant. It sounded like he said chaches or tchotchkes. Steve loves when he speaks yiddish. |
| 5:15
| Hans also has a video of the Escoffier Society dinner. Steve promised Buzz that they would watch it after the Bulls game tonight. |
| 5:16
| That's a pretty long dinner and there's audio. We should just pop it in tomorrow and do Best of. |
| 5:17
| One of the big things at the Escoffier dinner is the napkin tucked under your collar. As it turns out that's how you're supposed to do it. |
| 5:18
| From now on when Steve goes out to eat he's going to tuck his napkin in his collar with the Escoffier medallion underneath. If people start making fun of him he'll just whip the medallion out. |
| 5:19
| Hans has brought in a grilling cookbook put out by Weber with all proceeds going to charity. |
| 5:20
| The book is endorsed by Charlie Trotter, Chef Hans and other chefs. It's a very nice looking book. |
| 5:21
| The book contains grilling recipes by Ed McMahon and George Norton. Why wasn't Steve asked?! |
| 5:22
| Steve feels like Hans is going to turn this into another Eddie Schwartz telethon. No check is small enough. |
| 5:23
| Steve is going to take some Meat Talk calls today. |
| 5:30
| There was no dolphin sound in that last break so we'll give two 4 packs away during the next break. |
| 5:31
| Caller Donovan is a truck driver. It's not that fun after a while. Everything is fun when you first start doing it. |
| 5:32
| Donovan had a question about cooking food on the second rack of a grill. He has heard that if you cook meat on the second rack at a low temperature it makes it juicier. |
| 5:33
| Hans cooks chicken on the second rack but you shouldn't really cook steak up there. The second rack is good for baked potatoes too. |
| 5:34
| Hans is wondering if Donovan ever hauls meat. Is he thinking of staging a hijacking? |
| 5:35
| Caller Susan is having hamburger trouble. She doesn't want to buy it from the store because who knows what's in it. She buys meat whole and then grinds it herself. |
| 5:36
| No matter what she does though the burger ends up falling apart on the grill. Steve knows how to solve this problem. |
| 5:37
| Hans suggests meat that is at least 10-15% fat. Why can't she just buy ground beef at the store? Did she find a penny in some ground beef once? Susan read a book about meat and it got her thinking. That's the problem, you shouldn't be reading stuff like that. |
| 5:38
| Steve's not going to encourage this woman any further, she needs to buy ground beef at the store. Buy some ground chuck that has the right amount of fat in it. |
| 5:39
| What's going to be in ground beef that you buy at the store? They're not goofing around back in the butcher's area. |
| 5:40
| You take a bigger gamble eating a hot dog. Don't even get Susan started on that. You can't think about all that stuff. |
| 5:41
| Steve still hasn't gotten a good night's sleep in a hotel room since Dave Savini went into one with a black light. Every time Steve's in a hotel he sits at the desk chair balled up. That black light investigation was 10 years ago but it's still fresh in Buzz's mind. Dave Savini should be killed for what he did. |
| 5:42
| Caller Jeannie is not going to grind her own meat. Don't grind your own meat and don't let your meat loaf. |
| 5:43
| Jeannie has noticed a Saratoga ribeye being advertised in the Jewel flyer recently. Hans thinks it's probably just the name, like the Kansas City cut. |
| 5:44
| It could be a breed of cattle too. Steve is trying to Google it now and he can't find anything. |
| 5:45
| Hans is going to go to Jewel this week and check out the Saratoga cut and come back with an answer next week. |
| 5:46
| Steve's giving the dinner to Jeannie and Donovan. He would have given one to Susan as well but she hung up. That grinding your own meat stuff is crazy though. Hans doesn't know any better, he'll just keep talking to the woman because the customer is always right. |
| 5:51
| Dave Savini wrecked hotels for Steve but now every TV station does a similar investigation during sweeps period. |
| 5:52
| Steve has not has a good night's sleep in a hotel room since the Dave Savini piece first aired. Whenever he's in a hotel room he makes the maid come in and put a top sheet over the blanket. |

| Live read: My Chauffeur |
| 5:54
| Buzz will not be needing the services of My Chauffeur tomorrow because Yak-Zies is right near his place. |
| 5:55
| He will need one next weekend when Aimee and her sister are going to their brother's club in Schaumburg. She was going to drive but then she wouldn't be able to drink so Buzz came up with a solution for them. |
| 5:56
| Steve was going to pop into Privilege on his way home from the Escoffier dinner but he wasn't sure if the brothers would be there. |
| 5:57
| Aimee asked Buzz if he wanted to come but he couldn't have been any less invited. It's a family thing though so he understands. Aimee and her sister also vacation together which Steve is familiar with. |
| 5:58
| If Aimee had to choose between her sister and Buzz she'd choose her sister. Steve wouldn't choose his brother over Janet though. It's different with sisters though. |
| 5:59
| Buzz should be careful on Friday though because he might have a couple of tanked up sisters on his hands. |
| 6:05
| Steve is obsessed with finding out what a Saratoga ribeye is. There's nothing on the Jewel site and nothing on Google. |
| 6:06
| Buzz is positive that he heard someone talking about Saratoga earlier today. Were Matt and Brendan discussing it? When Steve said it Buzz's ears perked up. |
| 6:07
| Steve just figured that Buzz forgot we had talked about the Saratoga ribeye during Meat Talk. After all that stuff about getting a limo for Aimee he walked out in the hallway and asked Mary how he would go about contacting My Chauffeur. Steve just read the commercial with the phone number! |
| 6:08
| Caller John wanted to let Steve know that a Saratoga is a bone-in ribeye. DIfferent parts of the country have different names for the bone-in. |
| 6:09
| Jason from The Nadas is here. We've got the big show on Saturday, did we get all that stuff figured out with the blues song? |

| Buzz talked to John from The Nadas and they figured it out. As Steve pointed out yesterday John is the last person in The Nadas who you want making decisions. |
| 6:11
| Jason thinks John is the go to guy for this decision because he's a bit of a blues jammer. Steve doesn't want those types on stage with him. It's those two that almost had them playing Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat. |
| 6:12
| Today when John called Buzz he told him that Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat would be perfect. |
| 6:13
| How hard is it to pick a blues song? Steve has driven to and from Iowa twice already and it was easier than this. |
| 6:14
| Jason has been practicing night and day in preparation for the gig. Buzz wonders what it is he's been practicing. |
| 6:16
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 6:22
| We've got a hard end tonight because of the Bulls game. Buzz loves a hard end. |
| 6:23
| Steve and Jason were going to play a song but then they worried that if it sucked people wouldn't come to the show. |
| 6:24
| Buzz thinks the opposite is true. The song will sound good and people will want to come to the show. |
| 6:25
| Steve doesn't want to put Jason on the spot but he said if he was pressed he wasn't sure if he'd be able to do one of his songs. That's not good, Jason is the leader. |
| 6:26
| Steve has decreed that if Buzz wants to do Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat he can. What does Steve care? He's got a guy in The Nadas who doesn't want to play one of his songs. |
| 6:27
| Steve might have Buzz do three songs, it'll be the Buzz Kilman Revue featuring Steve Dahl. |
| 6:28
| Steve is going to do The Nadas' song Listen Through the Static at the show. He's been working on that one at home. They should probably do that one once off the air before the show. They'll have to drive to Iowa to rehearse it though. |
| 6:29
| Every time Steve talks about Iowa Buzz can't help but think of the music from Spike Manton's play Leaving Iowa. If he were here right now he'd be in heaven but he's not. |
| 6:35
| Steve and Jason were working the song out in Pete's studio but they ran out of time so they'll just have to start. Steve needs to strap his guitar on. He's got one of those Ovation guitars which are round in the back. They're not good for guys with bellies. |
| 6:36
| Song: Listen Through the Static, Steve and Jason |
| 6:39
| And the crowd goes wild! That wasn't bad for the first time doing the song together. |
| 6:40
| Song: Once & Future Home, Steve and Jason |
| 6:44
| Steve wrote a bridge for that song but he doesn't know the lyrics yet. He also wrote a new verse for the song since it's about 10 years old. |
| 6:50
| Lou didn't seem to happy about losing that Cubs game today. He wants to take feelings right out of it and you can't really blame him. |
| 6:51
| Steve's going to do one more but Buzz will have to be in charge of watching the clock for the hard end. |
| 6:52
| Song: Mai-Tai Roa Ae, Steve and Jason |
| 6:55
| And the crowd goes wild again! Steve and Jason just jammed it out bitch! They've still got a minute to fill, they should have jammed it out longer. |
| 6:56
| Alright tomorrow Steve and Buzz are live from Yak-Zies. They're always on live but Drew's making a big-ass deal out of the broadcast tomorrow. |
