| Stan just gave away two tickets for Steve's show at The Pearl Room in Mokena. What an exciting prize! |
| 2:02
| Terry recalls the touching story of when Janet told Steve that he got married. Steve had the over/under on Terry and his wife only being married for a year. |
| 2:03
| Terry has now been married for three years, or so he claims. Steve needs a live person to walk through here to prove she's still alive. |
| 2:04
| Stan has never been invited to the Armour Estate so he's not sure if Terry's wife is alive either. |
| 2:05
| After they got married Terry moved into his wife's place. He probably sold his condo and put the money in an off-shore account so she can't touch it. |
| 2:06
| Terry didn't really do a great job of saving the money from his condo, he'd rather have walking around money. Steve feels that Terry is what's keeping black people back. |
| 2:07
| Ron Lewis also handles Terry's money. Terry loves Ron but there are some things he frowns upon and there are some things he doesn't want to know about. That just means he's honest which is great but you have to work around it. |
| 2:08
| Terry and his wife are going to Hugo's Frog Bar for their anniversary because they couldn't get reservations at Gibson's. He's Terry Armour! |
| 2:09
| Hugo's is actually really nice and they have the same steaks as Gibson's. It's also not as much of a scene as Gibson's. If you're a tourist in Chicago you want to go to Gibson's while you're here. |
| 2:11
| Are Stan and Terry all squared away with the cardboard cut-out thing? Terry can't speak for Stan but he's fine now. |
| 2:12
| The Katarina Witt cut-out was not damaged and it will be returned safely. Stan has put the whole incident on a shelf and he's planning some big-time payback. |
| 2:13
| Steve knows that Matt and Brendan weren't trying to be mean, they just didn't think a grown man would get this upset about a cardboard cut-out. |
| 2:14
| Stan and Terry did think about being Matt's black uncles at his graduation. They'd show up in cabana shorts and black socks and sandals and get all emotional when Matt's name was called becuase he was the first in the family to get through college. Steve wouldn't mind if they did that. |
| 2:15
| At Mike Dahl's graduation Steve and Janet were seated behind a very loud black family. They were all dressed in basketball jerseys which doesn't seem appropriate. |
| 2:16
| The father spent the entire ceremony talking really loudly on his cellphone, standing in the aisle. When it was time for everyone to go the guy was still standing there and Steve finally had to tell him to move. |
| 2:17
| Then the guy flipped out and started saying "oh no you didn't! Is that how it's gonna be?" Then Steve said that was how it was going to be and they all walked by him. |
| 2:18
| Steve's fine with them showing up at the graduation. It definitely seems like some retaliation is necessary for what Matt did but last week it sounded like Stan was going to kill someone. |
| 2:19
| Maybe Stan and Terry should show up at the next Dahlfins show like that. |
| 2:30
| Song: Passenger Side, Wilco |
| 2:34
| Was Buzz locked out of the studio? People were pounding on the door and Steve had to get up and unlock it. |
| 2:35
| That's quite a locking system they put on the door. Steve was literally locked in the studio. You might have to have it in the unlocked position. |
| 2:36
| Steve thought someone was just messing around but there were only 15 seconds left in the song. Just for the record Steve didn't hesitate to open the door for Buzz. |
| 2:37
| The new studio door is on order so really Steve doesn't even have to worry about the lock. The way things work around here the new door will be on back-order and it'll take 5 years to get here. |
| 2:38
| It would have been really funny if everyone was locked out of the studio. There'd be a little dead air as people scrambled to find the key. Steve feels that dead only compels people to listen. If you turn on the radio you almost always hear something but what if you turn it on and there's nothing? |
| 2:39
| For a while in Florida Buzz had a Sunday night show. Then he was replaced by another guy who Buzz felt made a mess of everything he'd built. For some reason Buzz was compelled to tape the dead air on this guy's show and after only a few weeks he had an hour of tape. |
| 2:40
| At some point Buzz had to ask himself the hard question which is why he was taping the dead air. This was the same host who invented the acid flashback which Buzz did make a tape of so it paid off. |
| 2:41
| That guy is still on the air in Denver. What station is he on, The Omelet? If Steve were on a station in Denver he'd call it The Omelet. He'd probably have the same problems there that he has here with Drew and The Package. |
| 2:42
| Buzz was just looking at his Package business cards and the best thing about the logo is that the C, K and G are all the same color and everything else is another color. |
| 2:43
| When Drew's replacement arrives Steve will pitch The Package to him. There is a new general sales manager here but Steve hasn't met him yet. Buzz has seen him, he's quite well-groomed. You have to be if you're in radio sales. |
| 2:44
| Steve got an inkling of where the problem comes from on Friday when Garry called in. He sounded like trouble. |
| 2:45
| Yesterday there had a Best of the G-Spot, which is a short amount of time to acquire that much material. It was hosted by Garry's bald-headed sidekick with the toupee. Buzz thinks it's unfair to call his sidekick bald and say he wears a toupee. Steve's just trying to give him extra ply. |
| 2:46
| Steve's not sure if Jim Turano talked about it on the air but he was doing some bits on his own in between segment until he got a call and was told to stop. Steve can't imagine what it's like to get a call from Dan Falato telling you to knock it off. Steve doesn't want to live in that world although he still might be. That's the world where ideas like The Package get bogged down. |
| 2:47
| It seemed on Friday like Garry was on his way out of town so he probably wasn't the one telling Jim to knock it off. Buzz is sorry he didn't listen. When he leaves the studio he puts this place out of his mind. |
| 2:52
| Steve was concerned as he was leaving the studio that the door would lock behind him and Buzz wouldn't let him back in. Buzz assured Steve he would let him in if the door locked but only after he read his manifesto. |
| 2:53
| The original acid flashback, as done by John M, was strictly an accident. The guy wasn't wearing headphones so he didn't know what was going on. |
| 2:54
| Pete found the tape of the original acid flashback. That's a treasured gem. Buzz can't begin to tell Steve how excited he was when he heard that live, sitting in his apartment with Tom Webb, probably on drugs. |
| 2:55
| Steve doesn't even know how to do the acid flashback without a reel-to-reel tape machine. He does have an Echoplex for his guitar that has a 7 second reel of tape that plays in a loop. |
| 2:56
| Steve has tried to recreate it electronically but it never quite sounds right. |
| 2:57
| Steve does have the sissy effect on his machine though. It's the Leatherman from The Village People! The Leatherman is leaving town today, he was here for the International Mr. Leather. |
| 2:58
| Buzz had no idea that the Mr. Leather competition was in town. Normally he sees a few guys in leather with bushy mustaches. |
| 2:59
| Steve usually sees a few of those guys at his gym before the competition. Maybe he and Buzz just aren't working out at a hip enough gym. |
| 3:00
| This year's International Mr. Leather was Mikal Gerle. First runner-up was Rob Grant and second runner-up was Bill Hoeppner who was also Mr. Ramrod 2006. Remember when Buzz was Mr. Ramrod? |
| 3:01
| The Mr. International Mr. Bootblack was Spot of the Great Lakes Leather Alliance in Indianapolis. It was a great weekend for Indianapolis between Dario Francheesy winning the Indy 500 and Mr. Bootblack. |
| 3:02
| The Indy 500 was great because you got to see Ashley Judd in a wet dress congratulating her husband on his win. |
| 3:03
| Steve's not Mr. Skin but he'd like to recommend that HBO movie with Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino as Marilyn Monroe and Norma Jean. They're both naked for long periods of time. |
| 3:04
| It's sort of like that Gia movie with Angelina Jolie. Steve doesn't feel the need to see any new Angelina Jolie movies because of all the nudity in Gia. |
| 3:05
| The Ashley Judd movie is called Norma Jean & Marilyn with Ashley as Norma Jean and Mira Sorvino as Marilyn. |
| 3:06
| It was also a good movie, you learn stuff about Marilyn Monroe. It made Steve feel sorry for Marilyn Monroe even more than he already did. |
| 3:07
| Buzz just saw Ashley Judd in Bug over the weekend. She's one of those actresses who tries to make herself look bad and she did not look good in Bug. |
| 3:11
| When Steve saw the post-Indy interview with Ashley Judd all he was thinking was that Dario would be getting some. |
| 3:12
| After the race they had to do the ceremony indoors because of the rain. Steve's not sure if the area was just cramped of if Ashley was crowding Dario but he seemed to push her out of the way a little bit. |
| 3:13
| Buzz enjoyed Bug and there was a pretty good sex scene. Maybe Dario saw it too and wasn't happy with her. |
| 3:14
| Are the bugs real in Bug? Buzz doesn't want to ruin the movie but he will say that you never see the bugs. |
| 3:15
| Is it as maddening an ending as A Beautiful Mind? Steve was so mad at the end of that movie that he took out his Swiss army knife and slashed up the screen. |
| 3:16
| Steve was also very mad at the end of Sophie's Choice. At the end he yelled "that's the choice?!" Steve's sort of like a black guy when he goes to the movies. |
| 3:17
| The ending was not as maddening as those movies. Buzz actually enjoyed it but there were some people in the theater who were very disgruntled. |
| 3:18
| Why would Ashley Judd do a movie like that? It's more of an art house movie but it was directed by William Friedkin who did French Connection and The Exorcist. |
| 3:19
| Friedkin also directed Blue Chips, the fine Nick Nolte vehicle. |
| 3:20
| Steve will probably never see Bug. He prefers when Ashley Judd is teamed up with Morgan Freeman for some altruistic reason. |
| 3:21
| Norma Jean & Marilyn is very good though. At some point you have trouble decide which person you'd rather see naked. Then there's a scene where they're both naked talking to each other. |
| 3:22
| Live read: Cheeseburger in Paradise |
| 3:27
| The Scrubs drops always come in handy. Whatever Steve says can usually be summed up by Scrubs, Gilmore Girls, King of Queens and The Simpsons. |
| 3:28
| Pete's goal is to one day have an entire show featuring drops from The Simpsons. Steve could work with Pete to help him reach that goal but Pete would rather have it happen naturally. |
| 3:29
| Pete was thinking one day if he did something like 6 Simpsons drops in a row it would be like the middle of a no-hitter. He wouldn't want anyone to mention it because he could be jinxed. Steve's not in the business of not mentioning things. |
| 3:30
| Last weekend was the time when Pete was supposed to clean out his studio. He feels that he cleaned it out but Steve disagrees. |
| 3:31
| Pete did box up most of his tapes, but now all the boxes are sitting in his studio or in the hallway. His work area is much cleaner but that's because he pushed all his junk somewhere else. Buzz needs to do himself a favor and check it out for himself. |
| 3:32
| Pete feels this will be a two-stage clean-up. His next stage better happen by 4:00 today or else Steve is going to haul those boxes to the freight elevator and put the stickers on them that say "please throw out" in Polish. |
| 3:33
| Pete just put all his tapes in boxes that say "Dahl Tapes" but there's a chance he doesn't even know what's in them. He didn't really clean anything at all did he? |
| 3:34
| Pete and Stephanie have been trying to figure out where to store all the boxes. That just means putting them in a storage locker that Steve has to pay for, which isn't an option. |
| 3:35
| Stephanie is probably sitting there talking to Pete thinking to herself how crazy he is. Meanwhile Pete is considering all of his storage options. |
| 3:36
| Pete will start phase two of this project in a few weeks. Steve doesn't want those tapes sitting around here for the next few weeks, he's going to throw them out tonight. |
| 3:37
| Pete needs some serious medical attention. Everyone here does but Pete needs extra attention. He felt a lot of remorse as he put each tape into the box and looked at the Post-It note which says what is on there. |
| 3:38
| Steve is going to grab one of these boxes and go through random tapes. Buzz feels this will be the end of the tapes. |
| 3:39
| The first tape is from 1/22/04 and features episodes of CSI and Without a Trace. That was a good year for CSI. Also from 1/29/04 an episode of Cold Case as well as CSI and Without a Trace. Those are all good shows but how does Pete even remember what's on them? |
| 3:40
| On 12/11/03 we've got a a nice Survivor episode. Or perhaps a CSI from the same night and Without a Trace. All on a standard grade, Maxell tape, probably recorded in the lowest possible quality. |
| 3:41
| What is Pete going to do with a tape of Queer Eye from 10/24/03? |
| 3:42
| Steve doesn't have a whole lot of storage space right now either since he's in between archivists. Ed Silha is in charge of hiring someone new right now but the guy has been talking about moving up her for about 8 months. Steve has tapes he needs |
| 3:43
| Do we really need any of these tapes? When is Pete going to use something from a 1/22/04 Friends episode which is also a rerun? How about the 8/5/04 Celebrity Poker? How does Pete even know who was on that episode? |
| 3:45
| Steve gets what Pete is thinking with these tapes though. What if the host of Celebrity Poker kills a thousand people? Then we don't have the tape. Steve just wants to move these tapes off-site or else we'll never another archivist for those too. |
| 3:46
| Pete shouldn't worry about his tapes though. Tonight after the show Steve's going to head over to his storage space on Chicago Avenue and make sure there's room in there for Pete's stuff. |
| 3:50
| On the phone is Mark Schanowski from Comcast Sportsnet. He's really looking forward to some more exciting Chicago baseball. |
| 3:51
| Both teams are in the throes of mediocrity, someone needs to wake up here or it'll be a long summer. Steve didn't watch too much baseball over the weekend but he saw a lot of bad play on both sides of the town. |
| 3:52
| Steve's sick of that MacDougal guy, he looks like Kenny Loggins if he had AIDS. Mark should feel free to use that whenever he wants. Maybe Mark could say that when he's throwing it to Gail Fischer. |
| 3:53
| That would be good thing to say if you're reporting from the field. What do you say to that? When Mark was at ABC Joel Daly used to love to steal the first line of his report when he was throwing it to him, then you had to recover really quickly. |
| 3:54
| All this baseball talk is very depressing. It wouldn't take much for the Cubs or the Sox to get right back on track. |
| 3:55
| Lou Piniella has no idea what he got himself into though. They're going to find him dead in the manager's office. |
| 3:56
| The Cubs have always been about going with veteran players to plug holes until another hole opens up elsewhere. |
| 3:57
| The Sox on the other hand have no one coming up from the minors. All of their minor league teams have been struggling for the last few years but Kenny Williams says he's going to be really involved in this year's amateur draft. |
| 3:58
| Mark is really bumming out Steve here. At least the Sox didn't go into yesterday's game assuming they'd lose just because they were facing Johan Santana. |
| 3:59
| They don't give you your money back if you have season tickets when the team starts losing. Steve did get a free buffet on Saturday since the game was postponed. He'll be able to use those tickets for another game though. |
| 4:00
| Steve was at the game with Pat Dahl and since they were out of there by about 6:00 they headed to the Blue Chip casino. |
| 4:01
| The Blue Chip has a really good Reuben sandwich which Steve took home the last time he was there. Pat Dahl didn't believe Steve that they had a good Reuben though. |
| 4:02
| Steve didn't lose too much money gambling though. Pat Dahl wanted to play Let It Ride poker which was fine but Steve didn't know how to so he just went to the slot machines. |
| 4:03
| Eventually Steve got down to the 2 cent slot machines but he still ended up losing $200 which is a lot of cents. |
| 4:04
| Steve wandered back over to the Let It Ride poker table. That game takes forever to deal, the guy is inspecting every single card. Steve thought he was going to do a magic trick. |
| 4:05
| Steve figured out how to play after watching a few hands, plus the rules are on the table. He won some money there but it didn't make up for what he lost at the slot machines. |
| 4:06
| Steve did come up with great analogy for the war in Iraq though. The war is like going to those slot machines. You keep putting money in and you keep losing so then you want to put money in so you can get it all back. |
| 4:07
| Steve doesn't like playing games like Blackjack because there are always people next to you second-guessing what you're doing. Then if you get a card that they needed they get mad at you. |
| 4:08
| Pat says he likes the poker game because you're not playing against the dealer but you sort of are. |
| 4:09
| Then after that Steve and Pat got their free Reuben sandwiches. It was like they were in Vegas but then they walked outside. Steve hasn't been to an Illinois casino in a while but he's not sure if they're exempt from those no-smoking laws. |
| 4:10

| 4:17
| So far Pete has a streak of one Simpsons drop-in. If the streak continues Buzz should say anything or else he'll jinx it. |
| 4:18
| Pete's dream is to have a show of all Simpsons drops but he'd prefer to do it naturally. Steve could just say stuff like "d'oh" or mention how much Buzz reminds him of Moe. |
| 4:19
| Steve won't try to help him with the all-day Simpsons drops then. He also won't throw out any of his tapes. The tapes probably would have been thrown out by someone else but they boxes are too heavy for girls to lift. |
| 4:20
| Pete was really exhausted after cleaning his studio yesterday. He was using muscles he doesn't use and then when he got home he collapsed in bed. That's what Steve hears, Pete collapsed in bed. |
| 4:21
| Caller Brian wanted to let Steve know that you can smoke in Illinois casinos. If you have air-handling equipment you're probably exempt from the law. |
| 4:22
| Today Steve will be giving tickets away to the next Dahlfins show on June 9th at The Pearl Room in Mokena when you hear Buzz's stage introduction. Brian might also get tickets because he's on the phone today. |
| 4:23
| The last time Brian called in Steve hung up on him. HIs chances of getting those tickets are decreasing. |
| 4:24
| Brian won a Big Bowl gift certificate and the tickets for the Dahlfins gig. If those had been for the Cubby Bear North show that would have worked out great since there's a Big Bowl right across the street. |
| 4:25
| Buzz was really amazed when he was out at the Cubby Bear last weekend. They had a Big Bowl, a Wildfire and a movie theater right across the street, it was action central. Welcome to the 'burbs Buzz! |
| 4:26
| Steve wrote a new song over the weekend and he's hoping to debut it at the next show. He used to write songs about his drinking but now he's going to write songs about other people drinking. |
| 4:27
| All the tickets for the Dahlfins show are free thanks to Budwesier. Otherwise Steve would charge at least $40 for the tickets and all that money would go right in his pocket. |
| 4:28
| Steve sees that all of Matt & Brendan and Bob & Ron's appearances are in the Mokena area which makes sense. All of the shows are going to be in different areas, even though all those areas are within driving distance. |
| 4:29
| Steve never went on The Nadas tour bus but based on what he knows about them he doesn't really want to go on it. They weren't really on their bus after the show either, they just used Steve's dressing room and the porch area to entertain short, 300 pound gentleman callers. |
| 4:30
| That's one of the problems with getting drunk on stage, you're not too discriminating about your post-show companions. It was a total sausage fest. |
| 4:31
| The station was handing out VIP passes but next time they're not going to have backstage access. Steve needs his own backstage passes and maybe even a security guard. Someone who has sworn a blood oath to you. |
| 4:32
| That's why Buzz travels with that Chris Wood guy. That's where Steve got the idea that he needs security. Chris is a fan of Steve's but he wouldn't even let him get near Buzz and that's because of their blood oath. |
| 4:33
| Steve was thinking of asking Ranger Rick to do security but he's pretty high up on the state police food chain. He'd probably do it but it might not be a great career decision. |
| 4:38
| Steve wrote a new song but he won't be playing the demo for Ron Lewis. All he'll do is point out how similar it is to one of Steve's previous songs. He did that a few years ago and Steve still isn't over it. |
| 4:39
| A lot of songs sound the same, it just depends on how you put it together and the rhythm. Plus when you're making a demo alone it really sounds like everything else. |
| 4:40
| Steve shelved that song but maybe he should revisit. The good thing about having a band is that they can do other things to the song to make it sound different. |
| 4:41
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:42
| Cindy Sheehan says she's done with protesting, at least for now. Steve thought she was done already. Is this like when a boxer retires but then comes back for one last fight? |
| 4:43
| In Texas a mother and her three young daughters were found hanging in the closet of their motor home. An 8-month old was also found but survived. |
| 4:44
| A popular Florida beach closed yesterday after lifeguards performed over 200 rescues due to a very strong riptide. |
| 4:45
| Steve has some timely advice about riptides. If you get caught in one, don't fight it. Fighting it is how you drown because you get tired. The riptide will always go back to shore. It might take you a mile from where you were but eventually you'll get back to shore. |
| 4:46
| Any other tips Steve can give? He feels like he's saved at least one life today. The Spanish stations should be airing a similar PSA though. Every time Steve reads about someone drowning in Lake Michigan it's near the Ogden Dunes and the person is Hispanic. |
| 4:47
| Maybe Steve could record a PSA in Spanish. All those Spanish stations do really well in the ratings but Steve gets the feeling the hosts play things fast and loose. They seem to say whatever they want and make up their own rules about what they can say. |
| 4:48
| Lindsay Lohan has gone into rehab after a bad DUI over the weekend. Plans are still on for her 21st birthday but that's probably just because it's sponsored. |
| 4:49
| Is there a good DUI? Buzz always talks about a few that he walked away from. Steve saw a picture of her is that from the DUI? She looked really hammered. |
| 4:50
| Those are actually photos from later in the weekend. You probably can't take photographs of a DUI and then circulate them. |
| 4:51
| A customer at a MIami Wendy's became disgruntled when an employee did not give him enough chili sauce. What do you put chili sauce on at Wendy's? |
| 4:52
| The man wanted 10 packets but the worker only gave him 3 as per restaurant policy. When the manager went out to talk to the disgruntled customer the customer pulled out a gun and shot him. |
| 4:57
| Caller Tom has some info about the Wendy's chili sauce. It comes in little packets and you put it on the chili. |
| 4:58
| Steve likes Wendy's chili but they need to make some without beans. |
| 4:59
| Tom is also getting 2 tickets to the next Dahlfins show at The Pearl Room in beautiful downtown Mokena. Is there a downtown Mokena? . There was a guy on hold who wanted to tell Steve about the backstage amenities at The Pearl Room. |
| 5:00
| Steve's hoping to get his own dressing room that's Nadas-free. He could have had one at Cubby Bear North but then The Nadas would have been upstairs. The Nadas should have based themselves out of their tour bus though. |
| 5:01
| Live read: Balance for Life |
| 5:03
| Caller Brian wanted to let Steve know that there is a downtown Mokena. Metra has two stops in Mokena and one of them is the downtown stop. |
| 5:04
| The downtown stop is right next to the Pearl Room. That would be perfect for Steve if the show was on a Friday. |
| 5:05
| Brian is coming up on the Mokena stop right now and he can see The Pearl Room, it's right next to the OTB place. OTB! Steve might have to base himself out of there. |
| 5:06
| Steve's just kidding, he likes The Nadas. There were just too many dudes hanging out there. Plus there were two bands that were loading in there equipment. |
| 5:07
| The first show was supposed to be at another venue but that fell through so it was moved to the Cubby Bear North. The two bands scheduled for that night were never cancelled so they just showed up. |
| 5:08
| Steve has the trailer for the new Lindsay Lohan movie where she plays a murdered stripper. |
| 5:09
| Why do guys always want to kill strippers and prostitutes? They're just trying to make the world a better place. |
| 5:13
| Something very exciting is going to be happening very shortly. Buzz knows it involves tacos because he got the Thought For the Day email. |
| 5:14
| For the time being this segment will be called Taco Time. It's going to be everyday so it's no longer just Taco Tuesday. |
| 5:15
| Steve wants this to go very well. As Steve mentioned in his Thought for the Day he'll be eating a taco today like it's his job. That idea is very appealing to Steve. |
| 5:16
| Steve also has some songs that he'll be auditioning for the Taco Time segment. The first one is Taco Taco by Celia Cruz. |
| 5:17
| It might be a little too Caribbean for Taco Time but Steve is still rocking to the beat. Buzz loves this kind of music. Occasionally when he's at the Mexican restaurant he visits regularly they are not playing Mexican music and Buzz complains. |
| 5:18
| Buzz went to his Mexican restaurant over the weekend by himself and he had a delightful time. At first everyone was shocked that Buzz was alone until he explained that Aimee and Piper were visiting grandma. What kind of a great world does Buzz live in where he gets out of that trip? How did he manage that? Buzz is a genius, Steve bows at his feet. He gets the whole weekend to himself because he doesn't want to go and they don't even want him there. Buzz should teach a class on this for the kids. |
| 5:19
| The next song is called Hot Taco. The best thing about this song is it fades up. It doesn't sounds too much like Mexican music though. |
| 5:25
| Buzz was asked out in the hallway if he wanted a taco. Steve is trying to cut out that part of the segment where he asks Buzz if he wants something and he says no. |
| 5:26
| Buzz will be eating a taco today. That last one he had for the test run of Taco Time was so good, he's been thinking about it for weeks. |
| 5:27
| Steve's going to Tequila! for the Taco Time music. Steve's laying some mild sauce on the Taco Bell hard shell taco. |
| 5:28
| Buzz can start eating his taco when the Taco Time music starts. Tacos really are one of nature's super foods. They come to you just as they were growing on the taco tree. |
| 5:29
| Steve feels that was a very successful Taco Time, stayed tuned tomorrow for another one. |
| 5:33
| Steve would prefer if Pete didn't sully Taco Time by reinforcing Mexican stereotypes via an American Dad drop-in. |
| 5:34
| Steve is hesitant to re-enter Taco Time but he might have to now. Doesn't Pete know how any of this works? He and Buzz just skip through all the commercials like nothing's happening. |
| 5:35
| Steve went back out into the hallway to get another taco during the break and what to his wandering eyes did appear but a three-cheese quesadilla, in it's own special quesadilla wrapper with a window that allows you to look in on it. |
| 5:36
| You can't say no to the quesadilla in the window. It's like a collectible quesadilla in it's own little display case. |
| 5:37
| Steve literally can't stop eating his taco. If someone were to grab the taco from him right now he'd follow them out into the hallway like Wimpy with a hamburger. |
| 5:38
| How about some random phone calls? That'll be fun. It's the perfect thing to do while you're eating. It always takes a while for the calls to come on because were on a one-minute delay. |
| 5:39
| Steve has been told that the reason for the one-minute delay is due to HD radio. Steve has no idea what that means and only 1% of the population has HD radio. |
| 5:40
| The first caller has to go to Taco Bell now because of Steve talking about tacos. |
| 5:41
| The next caller wanted to let Steve know that Taco Bell cuts the quesadilla through the window in the packaging. How is that possible? Do they use a laser? |
| 5:42
| Caller Karen is a long time listener. It seems like a long time but it's only been since 2:00. Karen is moving away from Chicago. She can still listen online or via podcasting. |
| 5:43
| Karen is moving to Champaign/Urbana although now they call it Urbana/Champaign. Why would you want to move down there? Your money goes a lot further but it's still Urbana/Champaign. Karen likes it because it's very progressive. That's probably because of all the academic-types who are afraid to enter the real world. |
| 5:44
| Karen is actually moving down there for work, she's a college theater teacher. They have a great program down there so it makes sense. Steve is back on Karen's side with this move now. |
| 5:45
| If only Karen had been down there a few years ago, Steve would have had somewhere to go while visiting Mike Dahl. He loves theater and he loves talking about it. |
| 5:46
| On the phone is Ed Farmer, the voice of the Chicago White Sox. Ed feels Steve was a little hard on Karen. He tried to take it back but Champaign/Urbana is such a god-awful place |
| 5:47
| Ed thought Chambana was the last outpost of Jack-in-the-Box. Steve thought it was even further down like Effingham, if you'll pardon the expression. It's way the Effingham down there. |
| 5:48
| Ed heard that Roger Clemens will make his season debut next Monday, tickets are still available. |
| 5:49
| Ed will say this one more time, Bill from Majestic would be glad to hook Steve and Buzz up with whatever they need. Ed would like to see them in a full uniform with baseball spikes. |
| 5:50
| Steve is never going to wear a baseball jersey with all due respect to everyone who wears jerseys. Steve wouldn't mind a few more of those Majestic fleeces though. |
| 5:51
| That fleece is so nice that Steve would like some from other teams. His neighbors are probably getting bored with the Sox fleece so he'd like to keep them guessing. |
| 5:52
| The Majestic fleece Steve has is the same one the players wear. When Steve is out in the neighborhood he likes to run like a baseball player hobbled by his years in the big leagues. |
| 5:53
| Speaking of bad legs how about that Pablo Ozuna? Steve won't have him to kick around any more. That was probably a season-ending injury. |
| 5:54
| Steve hasn't gotten panicky about the Sox until today. He was sitting in his office looking at the World Series painting and it finally sunk in that they won. |
| 5:55
| Ed is thinking of stopping by Steve's next gig at The Pearl Room. He'd like to get up on stage but he doesn't know how to play guitar. That never stopped Steve though. |
| 5:56
| Tonight John Danks is pitching for the Sox against Boof Bonser. Boof was not his birth name but he changed it because he was named after his dad who left home when he was really young. You have to really hate your dad to legally change your name to Boof. |
| 5:57
| The Sox need to get on a some sort of winning streak like the Tigers did. Ed would also like to see the Sox sweep a few series. You can't lose 1 to the Devil Rays. |
| 5:58
| Ed saw the Yankees also lost to the Devil Rays last night and the cut off guy got hit right in the jaw. Then they did a story about a kid who killed a thousand pound pig. |
| 5:59
| That's a lot of pork chops from that pig. It's a wild pig so it's probably not good-eatin'. |
| 6:00
| Buzz thinks Ed is fascinated by the weirdest things. That's a lot coming from Buzz, he's already reported on 10 different UFO sightings. |
| 6:01
| Hopefully things start getting better for both baseball teams. Buzz is very concerned for Lou Piniella. |
| 6:02
| Lou seems to be losing it but not in the fun, crazy way. It seems like he's on the verge of killing himself. |
| 6:03
| It doesn't seem like Lou should have to suffer this much. He's suffered before but in Tampa he was right near home. |
| 6:04
| Lou's hiring might have raised expectations considerably for the Cubs. It's not like the Sox are any better but at least they've got Ozzie. |
| 6:05
| At every press conference Lou takes a long time to answer a question. That's probably because the first thing he wants to say is something crazy. Then he reconsiders and says something that's not crazy. |
| 6:06
| Everyone talks about Lou going crazy so it's probably a point of pride for him to not go crazy. At some point he will go crazy though. If you sit on it for too long you end up like Lee Elia. |
| 6:10
| Lee Elia's tirade made him famous although he probably doesn't feel too good about it. Is he still alive? |
| 6:11
| Pete thought Lee Elia was still alive and actually worked with Lou in Tampa Bay. He's not sure if he's working for him any more though but he's still involved in baseball either as a coach or a fan. |
| 6:12
| Steve is involved in baseball as a fan. He still feels like he got a free buffet on Saturday night before the postponed Sox game. |
| 6:13
| Steve forgot to keep his parking pass but he gave his make-up tickets to Stephanie for her birthday. Steve talking about getting all this free stuff probably takes some of the sheen off the gift but she'll still enjoy it plus she doesn't need a parking pass so it works out great. |
| 6:14
| Stephanie will have to miss work to go to that game. Maybe he should have given those tickets to Tina, then everyone wins. Stephanie doesn't want to to that game anyway it's just the Devil Rays. She should put her tickets in an envelope and write "Tina" on there. |
| 6:15
| Maybe Steve will take Stephanie to a game and show her the ropes on the buffet line. You don't want to waste you time on the one end with the rice. All you should have on your plate is prime rib. |
| 6:16
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 6:17
| Steve doesn't remember a woman named Jana in the live read he recorded for yesterday's Best of. He did record it on Friday before the show though. |
| 6:18
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 6:19
| When Steve was out running yesterday he passed by Jimmy Gierczyk's place. He was going to stop by and say hello but it looked like he was having some sort of party. |
| 6:20
| Steve doesn't like when people drop in on him but he was in a drop-inable mood. He was already on display while running, glistening with sweat, arms and legs showing, six-pack abs that you could grate cheese on. |
| 6:21
| Steve was up in New Buffalo with all the boys over the weekend. Mike Dahl decreed that he needed time off so he took off Friday as well. |
| 6:22
| Mike's one of those people who needs to maximize his time off so he was calling Steve last night at 8:00 asking him how he should get home. Steve never wants to give Mike directions because if he's wrong he'll call back and yell at him. |
| 6:23
| On Sunday night that Beach Boys TV movie that John Stamos produced was on. At the end they gave a little shout-out to Imagination which Steve helped write with Brian Wilson. Then Steve might have had it on his iPod while jogging yelling to himself "I can't believe I helped write this!" Actually Jimmy Gierczyk did see Steve at that point and then called the cops. |
| 6:24
| Song: Your Imagination, Brian Wilson |
| 6:27
| That song came out 9 years ago. Steve co-wrote that song in case Buzz didn't know. Buzz was actually vaguely aware of that. Is that because Steve was shouting that he co-wrote it during the song? |
| 6:28
| Steve actually wrote better lyrics to that song but then they were watered down. He was mad about it then and he's still mad about it now. Steve has a version that he did with his lyrics that he could play after the break. It's still a good song though even with the watered-down lyrics. |
| 6:29
| There are varying stories on who watered-down the lyrics. IT wasn't Brian because he doesn't even know what planet he's on. It was either Brian's wife or Joe Thomas who was producing the record. |
| 6:33
| Did Pete double-down that Brian Wilson cough? Was it enhanced at all? It sounds like the same part of the cough happens twice. |
| 6:34
| Pete never enhanced it. There was a time when Steve had to take Garry out of that tape and maybe it was put back together differently. Or maybe his coughing fit is just worse than Steve remembers. |
| 6:35
| Steve's going to play his version of Your Imagination. These lyrics are more about Brian Wilson admitting he was nuts but he's much better now. |
| 6:36
| Steve accidentally played a news clip, that's a preview of what's coming up. Steve could blame Jim here because he brought the news audio in before we needed it. Buzz doesn't want to blame Jim which only makes Steve want to blame him more. |
| 6:37
| Jim could have at least come in and said "which way are you going to go, the song or news? Because I don't want to confuse you because you're stupid." He could at least say that and Steve can work with it. |
| 6:38
| Song: Your Imagination, S.R. Dahl |
| 6:41
| In all fairness to Melinda Wilson and Joe Thomas there were a lot of syllables in that song which was difficult for Brian to sing. Steve still likes his version better with the rockin' Jim Peterik solo and without the goofy Sgt. Pepper's horns at the end. |
| 6:45
| News with Buzz |
| 6:46
| A new video has been released by an American Al-Qaeda propagandist. That's the kid from California who we've heard from before. Does Al-Qaeda know that we wholly discount that kid? |
| 6:47
| Steve had another revelation over the weekend about this whole situation. . Earlier today he gave the analogy that Iraq is like him trying to get out of the slot machine room. Steve has totally drawn a blank on what that revelation was. The good news is that Buzz has more news. |
| 6:48
| Now Steve remembers. Over the weekend they were showing all this video of soldiers searching for those missing guys. At first he didn't understand what the big deal was because people were dying everyday. But then he realized this search mission gives them something to do. Otherwise it's just complete chaos. |
| 6:49
| Activist Cindy Sheehan has announced her time of protesting against the Iraq war is over. |
| 6:50
| An 8 month old girl is the only survivor found in a Texas mobile home. A mother and her 3 daughters were all found hanging in the closet of the trailer. |
| 6:51
| The Duke student body is demanding an apology from the 88 school professors who publicly condemned the accused lacrosse players. That kid from the newspaper has really been making the rounds on TV today. Hopefully he's graduating because this will be his last hurrah. |
| 6:53
| Cook County Board president Todd Stroger is coming under fire after suggesting a property tax increase. But he said he wouldn't! |
| 6:54
| It seems like Stroger is completely you of control and he's only been in office for 6 months. You gotta hope the Feds will be handing down some indictments any time now. |
| 6:59
| Bruce Wolf mentioned Disco Demolition today on the NBC morning news with Dick Johnson, which is redundant. |
| 7:00
| Earlier today Steve was yelling at Brendan because his Green Room had been defiled. Everyone sees Matt go into the Green Room, they hear him in there and yet he still denies going in there. |
| 7:01
| An entire back of chips had been emptied and all but the last few peanuts in the peanut can were gone. That's something Matt does so he doesn't have to throw the can away. Plus Steve's toilet was soiled. |
| 7:02
| This was also the day that Steve walked in on Matt using the bathroom at the house. The door was open and he was on the toilet reading things on his computer with the dogs sitting on the floor. |
| 7:03
| Steve's Green Room did not fare well after 4 Matt Dahl Shows. Steve gave him a key initially because he felt sorry for him but now he wants it back. |
| 7:04
| Matt claims that when he does use the Green Room he's very careful to leave it exactly how he found it. Steve doesn't believe that either. |
| 7:05
| Matt initially had the door closed but then the dog wedged it open. Of course the dogs wanted in the bathroom, there's something good going on in there. |
| 7:06
| Plus Matt ate a cicada on the air yesterday, Steve doesn't want to be around that. Both he and Brendan ate cicadas and then both threw up on the air. It was everything that Dieter guy wanted to be. |
| 7:07
| Matt brought in some more tonight but he also brought things to marinate them or prepare them with. |
