| Stan and Steve always make fun of Terry for his passion for the White Sox. The Sox are dead to Steve now. |
| 2:03
| Terry hates Torii Hunter. He was at his Major League debut where he robbed Big Frank of a home run and then made another great catch and hit a home run. |
| 2:04
| Terry thought the Twins were going to be kicked out of the league, what happened to that? If you're playing in a town where you can't even have an outdoor stadium you shouldn't have a team. |
| 2:05
| Steve would love to have Torii Hunter on the Sox though, it could happen next year. Terry isn't sure he'd want Hunter after all he's done to the team. |
| 2:06
| Stan thinks the Sox will tee-off against Roger Clemens though. The Sox were winning 6-1 and now the Twins have tied it up. Steve can't watch it any more, someone needs to turn the TV off. |
| 2:07
| Stan always liked that story about Mike Piazza tipping pitches when he was catching for Clemens in the All-Star game. Clemens is an idiot. This is a guy who was playing whiffle ball in his backyard and plunked his wife after she hit a home run off him. |
| 2:08
| If that happened in the Lawrence household Cynthia would make Stan go to the batting cages. Throwing at your boys is different than throwing at your wife though. |
| 2:09
| You gotta do whatever you have to do with boys including punching them. Steve's punched his boys or tried to strangle them. Steve's boys have tried to kill him so he had no choice. |
| 2:10
| There was one time when Pat and Mike were fighting. Steve stepped in to protect Mike and then both of them turned on him. |
| 2:11
| It only took a few times of getting into things before the boys learned their lesson. Mike is usually the one who Steve ends up chasing or throwing something at like a plate of Lil' Smokies. |
| 2:12
| Stan is wondering if Steve has been reflecting on Pat's life now that he's getting married in December. Steve doesn't do stuff like that. He's not going to sit in the backyard with his pipe reminiscing. Steve looks forward, not backward. |
| 2:13
| When the wedding happens it'll be really nice but that's all Steve can think about. He's just hoping Pat gets a job now that The Class has been cancelled. |
| 2:14
| Stan got misty today looking at a school project Jeffrey did involving Excel spreadsheets. Does Jeffrey get beat up a lot? |
| 2:15
| Steve has too many other things to think about or remember. Stan only has one kid and he's still young. Steve is 52 and Pat is 26. |
| 2:16
| Stan remembers when all of Steve's boys were born, he remembers carrying them up on stage at the Holiday Star in their little bassinets. Steve remembers all that too, maybe Stan should come over to the house and sit in the backyard with him. |
| 2:17
| Steve's not sure what Stan wants him to say or how he wants him to feel. He feels like he's in therapy though and Stan wants him to have a breakthrough. |
| 2:18
| Steve gets to see Matt everyday and worry about him taking his job. Matt probably wouldn't hesitate to take Steve's job either. |
| 2:19
| Stan was probably carrying the kids on stage because Steve was too drunk to do it. |
| 2:20
| What does Stan want him to say here? Does he want him to apologize to for hitting Pat? Maybe Steve should forward his cellphone to Stan so the boys can call him and ask for money. |
| 2:21
| Maybe Steve would be more sentimental about everything if the boys stopped asking him for money. |
| 2:22
| Maybe Stan should start poking holes in his so-called perfect life. You know Cynthia's not talking to him because he chose radio over engineering. And he probably has to do all of Jeffrey's homework and school projects too. |
| 2:23
| Steve can be sentimental or sad but he keeps it to himself. He doesn't need Stan or some TV show telling him to be sentimental. Steve processes everything as they happen. |
| 2:24
| This is probably all about Stan's issues with his own father who seemed crazy. |
| 2:25
| Steve wants to see the other side of Stan's family where he's making Cynthia and Jeffrey pose for a Christmas photo and forcing them to smile. |
| 2:26
| Steve's not sure how all this got started but the Sox suck. Steve wants his money back for his season tickets. |
| 2:27
| Steve gets that Stan likes to take Jeffrey to Sox games though, that's a nice memory. He probably has the hot dog wrapper from Jeffrey's first game and the wooden spoon from his first malt cup. |
| 2:28
| Stan does save all the tickets from the Sox, Bulls and Hawks game he's been to with Jeffrey. Stan only has one kid though. They say that people with more than one kid are less likely to save all that stuff. You start off with second kid trying to save everything and you don't. |
| 2:37
| Song: Misery, Soul Asylum |
| 2:41
| Steve jammed with Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum once. He was in studio so you might call it a jam rape. |
| 2:42
| Steve jammed on Runaway Train and Pete remembers some nifty guitar work. Steve threw down an unexpected solo. Dave Pirner is a rhythm guitar player so he doesn't even solo on his own song. Then he threw it to Steve unexpectedly. |
| 2:43
| Being a musician is kind of hard. Steve's been working on playing Comiskey Park Song on guitar. Then he wrote a new song over the weekend and it took him 20 minutes last night to remember how to play Comiskey Park Song. |
| 2:44
| Steve can play his jam with Dave Pirner. Pete has the CD but there are 3 versions of the song. Steve remembers having someone make a version without the bad guitar solo although Pete called it nifty. Pete didn't even have to bring up the different versions, no one would have known. |
| 2:45
| Just for that Steve is going to start throwing out all of Pete's VHS tapes right away. He actually has a new plan for the tapes, he'll pick three random tapes out of every box. If none of them have something we need the whole box goes. Buzz feels he's being too generous. |
| 2:46
| Steve's still trying to doctor the Sister Golden Hair with Gerry Beckley. Steve would have been better off playing the entire song with him but Gerry suggested he do the slide guitar part. |
| 2:47
| Then Steve had to take slide guitar lessons from John Spiegel and he was also getting tips from Ron Lewis. He's in showbiz as the accountant for Soundstage. Ron is the accountant for everyone Steve knows. He should be getting a cut of that action. |
| 2:48
| Steve actually has some bad news to tell Buzz but maybe he should take a break first to let it sink in. |
| 2:53
| As Buzz probably knows from reading Steve's blog today he had his weekly phone call with Ron Lewis. |
| 2:54
| They were making small talk which they always do before they get to the meat of the conversation which is Steve's business empire. Today they were talking about some new Warren Zevon album. Ron was going to send Steve an iTunes reminder about it which made him wonder why he didn't just gift him the entire album. |
| 2:55
| Steve has the email from Ron Lewis about Gerry Beckley and Sister Golden Hair. Ron knows a woman who works at Soundstage, which started off as a simple HD show in an intimate setting and mushroomed into Joe Thomas building a huge theater at WTTW with a monorail going to it. |
| 2:56
| The woman at Soundstage is also dating a guy who's in The Ponys so when Steve talked about them he got a flurry of emails. The Soundstage woman told Steve that Gerry doesn't play Sister Gold Hair the way he did on the original album. |
| 2:57
| Steve knew how to play the slide guitar solo but he still messed it up. Luckily Pete will forget all about that and never bring it up again. |
| 2:58
| Ron's always pitching Steve on getting a folk show on the weekends on WCKG, like if Matt and Brendan ever stopped doing their Saturday show. Then Ron said that Drew Hayes probably hates that kind of music but Drew hates everything. Then when something works out he says he liked it all along. |
| 2:59
| Somehow they ended up talking about that Jim Turano guy from Garry's show who was co-hosting the Best of on Monday. He was doing some voices and different things in between bits before Dan called in and yelled at the board-op who had to tell Jim to stop. |
| 3:00
| Then Ron told Steve that the whole thing wasn't as bad as it sounded according to Dan and Drew, who he had seen at Dan's party on Monday. So that's the bad news, Dan had a party and didn't invite Steve and Buzz. |
| 3:01
| Pete was also invited but couldn't make it, even though Dan lives close to Pete, almost too close. Pete was here all day Monday boxing up tapes in his studio because it was Boxing Day. |
| 3:02
| Yesterday Dan came in and berated Pete for being the only person on the guest list who didn't show up. Too bad Steve and Buzz weren't invited, they could have also been on the list of people who didn't show up. |
| 3:03
| Was Jim kid invited? He rats Dan out all the time so he probably didn't get the invite. Steve calls down to Jim's office. |
| 3:04
| Jim was not invited, this is the first he's heard of the party. Steve should have brought him down to the studio for a hug at the same time he told Buzz about the party. |
| 3:05
| Buzz thinks Jim is paying for all the times he ratted Dan out by not getting invited to the party. It's too bad Jim wasn't invited, he could have also been on the list of people who didn't show up. |
| 3:11
| Brendan wasn't invited to Dan's party either and he was his mentor. Really though Steve is Brendan's mentor, he's taking over those duties full-time. |
| 3:12
| Steve got a call from a friend of Brendan's mom, Mrs. Plunkett. She was looking to help Brendan out because he was troubled but had a deep voice. That's not really what happened, Brendan called the house and left a message. The deep voice was almost a deal breaker because it sounded so creepy. |
| 3:13
| Dan wasn't even here with Brendan started, it was Stoney. He's been here for a while then but he's lost his mentor so it's just as well that Steve is taking over. |
| 3:14
| Was Garry at the party? Not inviting everyone isn't going to foster good relations around here. Was there a $500 cake at the party? |
| 3:15
| Steve founds it troubling that Pete would allow Dan to berate him in his own studio without fists being thrown. Pete was taken aback by it. Every once in a while he needs to rush the door. |
| 3:16
| A lot of the times when Pete is working in his studio he keeps his headphones on the whole time to discourage people talking to him. Some people know they can ride that out and eventually he'll take the headphones off. Another reason to get those boxes out of there is so he can get a flying leap at someone coming in to berate him. |
| 3:17
| That reminds Steve of the story Matt told him about Mike Dahl's Cinco de Mayo party. Mike was getting a little too friendly with a female guest and then her boyfriend pulled him into his own bedroom and yelled at him. |
| 3:18
| It took a while for Mike to realize that the only person he should have been going into the room with was the girl and he should have said that to her boyfriend but he had already left the party. Then Mike ran out of his apartment to go after the guy and almost got into a fight with some strangers. |
| 3:19
| Steve should get working on those boxes in Pete's studio. If he drags them to the freight elevator Pete will just drag them back. He thought about calling that 1-800-GOT JUNK. Steve's got junk, would they just pull a truck up to the Prudential Building? |
| 3:20
| When Steve first started seeing the 1-800-GOT JUNK he called about being a franchisee but it seemed like he'd have to really be part of the day-to-day operations. |
| 3:21
| Another franchise Steve is interested in is that place that sells stuff on eBay for you. He's wanted to take things in there just to see how it works. He also realized that people who want to sell a ton of stuff on eBay probably want to do it themselves. |
| 3:22
| Buzz has become embedded in eBay but he's never sold anything. He has stuff to sell though but as Steve can attest to, selling stuff on eBay is a huge hassle. That's what made Steve interested in the eBay place but people who have a lot of stuff want to sell it themselves, it's like garage sales. |
| 3:23
| People in Steve's neighborhood are always having garage sales even though they don't need to. Steve finds them embarrassing but he does have stuff to sell. He might be the anomaly in that he doesn't want to sell all the stuff himself. |
| 3:24
| Steve doesn't really like buying stuff from eBay because people send it by regular mail. Who sends stuff by the mail? You'll never see it again! They don't have tracking or anything. Then if you do get something it's packaged in creepy old newspapers from wherever that person was from. |
| 3:25
| Steve's eBay situation is always exacerbated by his boys, mainly Pat Dahl. Every once in a while Pat comes home and has the idea to sell off Steve's junk in a scheme to get all the money. Then he goes back home before he has a chance to ship the stuff. |
| 3:26
| Then two weeks later Steve gets a flood of angry emails from people who bought stuff but never got it. Then Steve has to ship all the stuff himself. |
| 3:27
| People are calling in about the eBay places. If there was one downtown that would be perfect, Steve could just send Tina or Stephanie over there. Buzz would be interested too, he has a few things to sell like his giant Elvis on velvet. |
| 3:28
| Steve might actually be interested in that for his clubhouse. It would be perfect alongside the laconic strippers. |
| 3:29
| Steve actually had David Hochberg's real estate guy look into a building on State Street near the the projects. Turns out it's around $6 million which is a little steep. Is there oil under the building?! |
| 3:30
| Steve doesn't consider that area a great neighborhood and he can't think of any worse neighborhoods that would have buildings in his price range. Part of the reason the price is so high is because it's near where they're planning to building the Olympic housing. |
| 3:35
| The eBay stores were featured in 40 Year Old Virgin. Steve just watched that the other night, he has no problem watching that over and over again. |
| 3:36
| Also that guy who can't get over his girlfriend, the girlfriend is Kelly from The Office. The Office might be Buzz's favorite show. |
| 3:37
| Buzz doesn't watch that many comedies, just The Office and Earl. It might be time for him to get in touch with the lighter side of Buzz. |
| 3:38
| And just a reminder, every time you hear Buzz from the first Dahlfins show be the 10th caller and win tickets to the next show. |
| 3:39
| Steve initially put a $24.99 value on he show but after he was at the first one he realized it was worth much more than that. You have to put a value on this stuff even if people are getting the tickets for free. |
| 3:40
| Steve had a great time at the show. Buzz likes that it wasn't too long. No matter how much he likes a band he doesn't want to be there for too long. |
| 3:41
| A lot of people had Budweiser Select at the first show and really enjoyed it. Buzz isn't a big beer drinker but he really liked it. |
| 3:42
| Ed Silha called up to remind Steve that he has sold some stuff on eBay. He did do that but it's not really a good use of his time. Ed loves using the camera to photograph stuff though and for a few of them Steve posed nude with the item. |
| 3:43
| Caller Bill wanted to let Steve know that the eBay stores typically take about 30% of the profit from your item. They do determine if your item will sell though. |
| 3:44
| Steve doesn't want people telling him they can't sell something though, that would make him mad. |
| 3:45
| After 7 days if the item doesn't sell they just donate it. That sounds like something that people could really abuse though. That's what Steve would do. |
| 3:46
| Bill has sold stuff via the eBay store before and it's really not a big hassle at all. So Tina could do it then? She'd probably try to talk them out of selling something of his though. |
| 3:47
| There's one sort of on the way home for Steve but he doesn't want to go through some involved process to sell things. He just wants to drop something off and then leave. |
| 3:48
| Bill thinks Steve should build his own Bada Bing-type club in the suburbs. Steve thinks he could really go awry surrounded by all that cash, booze and nudity. He probably wouldn't make it through the first month. |
| 3:54
| Pat Boyle was on the phone but we lost him. We lost him! We're working on getting him back. |
| 3:55
| In the meantime Buzz was wondering if Steve was aware of the Kobe Bryant situation. He's demanding to be traded from the Lakers. It doesn't seem like he can just make a unilateral decision like that but he's done it in the past. |
| 3:56
| Buzz thought Kobe and Phil Jackson were tight as ticks or at least they had a manageable relationship. |
| 3:57
| Pat Boyle is on the phone right in the middle of Steve and Buzz's Basketball Talk. Pat just assumed Steve didn't want to talk about the Sox. |
| 3:58
| The Sox were winning 6-1 but lost 7-6 and were swept by the Twins. The Sox gave up 47 hits during this series. |
| 3:59
| Lou Piniella said that last night's game was the worst baseball game the Cubs have played and then today Ozzie called out the entire team. |
| 4:00
| There are dire problems on both sides of town and it's only June. Steve has a lot of problems with the secondary White Sox like Rob Mackowiak. |
| 4:01
| Jon Garland can certainly take a lot of blame for today but the bullpens have been the problems for both teams. Pat was talking to Dan Plesac about it and to him it looks like pitchers in both bullpens are just throwing the ball and not pitching. |
| 4:02
| Pat thinks maybe Steve will need to schedule a few more Dahlfins shows. They could open for The Police or they could do their own concert series at The Cell and call themselves The Criminals. |
| 4:03
| Speaking of criminals at the cell, how about Tank Johnson? Steve saw that Sun-Times article and it's sort of misleading. They say he's "built like a vending machine" but he didn't really have access to vending machines. |
| 4:04
| Tank had to buy all of his junk food through the prison commissary which is why there are records of it. Pat's never heard of summer sausage though. Buzz can't believe that! He's going to send some over to Pat, it's delightful. |
| 4:05
| Junk food is probably better than the food they serve at Cook County though. |
| 4:06
| There's really nothing else going on in Chicago sports right now except the Cubs and the Sox both sucking. Pat has never seen Ozzie like this in all the time he's been manager. |
| 4:07
| Steve is not a fan of some of the choices that Ozzie has been making in terms of starters. |
| 4:08
| Steve doesn't want to hear any more about this it's bumming him out. He could really use some summer sausage right about now. |
| 4:14
| Steve's working on getting Ozzie's post-game press conference. If someone from Comcast mentions some audio they should feed it to us. |
| 4:15
| Steve doesn't want to wait until 6:30 to hear the audio on Comcast. Pat's a broadcaster so it's his natural tendency to promote his show but then people will tune out here. |
| 4:16
| Buzz will be sending Pat some summer sausage though. That's one of the few things he actually gives people. Around the holidays you'll often find him handing out boxes of summer sausage. |
| 4:17
| Summer sausage is any sausage that does not need to be refrigerated. Is hard salami summer sausage too? |
| 4:18
| Steve feels a little deprived that he hasn't gotten any summer sausage from Buzz. They've spent several holidays together over the last few years. Buzz can't believe he's never given one to Steve. He loves the act of coming in with a gym bag full of sausage and red ribbons wrapped around them. |
| 4:19
| Steve can see Wendy taking his sausage and then taking it for himself. Buzz is sure that's he's given Pete some summer sausage. |
| 4:20
| Pete has also never received any summer sausage from Buzz. Steve wants the real Buzz Kilman back, he doesn't know this one who's handing out sausages every Christmas. Steve's known Buzz for 30 years, he's never seen him give sausage to anyone except maybe a few 19 year old girls. |
| 4:21
| Steve calls down to Jim's office. Has he ever gotten a sausage from Buzz or rather summer sausage. It's a funny question isn't it? Jim has never gotten any summer sausage from Buzz. |
| 4:22
| A salami is a cured sausage of the Italian tradition. The name comes from the Italian word salare which means "to salt". "SAAAAA-LARE WHOA-OHHHHH" |
| 4:23
| A traditional salami may include chopped beef, pork or donkey. Who eats donkey? Maybe Steve and Buzz have and they didn't even know. |
| 4:24
| Caller Judy, welcome to Sausage Talk. Judy usually buys the Usingers summer sausage made right in downtown Milwaukee. They're the ones who sponsor the Sausage Race at Brewers games. |
| 4:25
| When Steve was a kid there was one butcher's shop that sold Usinger's sausage. Steve's dad would always go there and get some being from Minnesota and all. |
| 4:26
| In California in the 60's no one knew about any of that stuff. Steve had never seen a bratwurst until he came here but he was still very steeped in that tradition because of his dad's Midwest roots. |
| 4:27
| Needless to say Steve was very excited the first time he went to Milwaukee and saw the Usinger's sign. |
| 4:28
| So a summer sausage is any sausage that doesn't need to be refrigerated as opposed to something like a bratwurst. |
| 4:32
| The more Steve thought about it the more he realizes he doesn't want a sausage from Buzz. It comes from Target and it's kept in Buzz's dirty gym bag. Jim and Pete still want them though. |
| 4:33
| Buzz thinks Steve will feel bad when everyone is walking around with big sausages around Christmas. It won't be the first time everyone else has had bigger sausages than Steve. |
| 4:34
| Buzz is willing to bet that his gym bag is much cleaner than the factory where the sausage is made. Point taken. |
| 4:35
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:36
| CDC doctors are treating a man who knowingly flew on Air France with a contagious form of TB. At least the comped the TB for all the passengers. Initially Steve thought they were talking about TV. |
| 4:37
| President Bush has tapped Robert Zoellick-that's none of our business-to head the World Bank. |
| 4:38
| Chicago area 6th grader Kiara Jones is heading off to the Scripps-Howard Spelling Bee in Washington. Steve saw that movie about the girl and the spelling bee on an airplane. The girl's name was very similar to Kiara. |
| 4:39
| A Naperville girl who handed out anti-gay pamphlets at her school has been placed under house monitoring. Is that really a hate crime? If you hit a gay person with a baseball bat, that's a hate crime. Handing out pamphlets is just freedom of speech. |
| 4:40
| Paris Hilton has a cell mate although Buzz doesn't have a name. LA County officials are only saying that the cell mate is a person who they determined would not try to profit off of her time with Hilton. |
| 4:41
| What if her cell mate is Nicole Richie? She must have done something to land her in jail. |
| 4:42
| The 17-year ban on kangaroo skin in California has been listed. When Steve was a kid he had baseball cleats made of kangaroo skin. He thought it would make him jump higher but it didn't even put a little spring in his step. |
| 4:47
| Wasn't Pete warned about Grey's Anatomy drop-ins? Steve said never! That one didn't even make sense. Why were they having some kid spell? |
| 4:48
| Why is there a nurse on hold who wants Steve to tell everyone that if they came in contact with someone who has TB they should get tested. Does she sound hot or something? What kind of angle can Steve work here? |
| 4:49
| It's bad enough you have to fly Air France but then you get TB? France is filthy, imagine what their airline is like. All of that and their hatred of Americans is crammed into an airplane. |
| 4:50
| Maybe she's just looking for tickets to the Dahlfins show? Steve frequently passes out on stage he could use a nurse at the shows. |
| 4:51
| Is Brendan just trying to do a public service? Steve feels that this is part of Matt and Brendan's plan to ruin Steve's show. |
| 4:52
| After a while Matt and Brendan can go into Rod's office and tell him they've got a way to save him a ton of money and get rid of a big pain in the ass. |
| 4:53
| Rod is a nice guy but Steve has heard he's pretty brutal with the money. He's never seen it though. If Steve and Buzz weren't doing well and the station was paying them a lot of money there'd probably be a problem. |
| 4:54
| Steve did recently engineer a raise for his production staff although he's yet to be thanked for it. Maybe it didn't go through, sometimes that happens around here. |
| 4:55
| Pete didn't notice any difference on his last paycheck. That's probably why Steve wasn't thanked. Brendan didn't get a raise but he was made full-time which is huge. |
| 4:56
| Some money was recently freed up on the show and Steve's had a hard time funneling it to the staff because of Rod. Steve thought about pocketing that money himself but everyone around here does a good job and he wanted them to be taken care of. Buzz feels that will go into Steve's karmic bank account. |
| 4:57
| Live read: Cheeseburger in Paradise |
| 4:58
| Cheeseburger in Paradise is coming in tomorrow at 3:00 to make burgers so Buzz should prepare himself. |
| 4:59
| Live read: Chicagoland Speedway |
| 5:03
| Steve has more bad news for Buzz. Earlier he had to break the news to him that he wasn't invited to Dan Falato's Memorial Day party. |
| 5:04
| Steve was in Drew's office today and he already knew about the party because Ron Lewis told him about it. They were discussing the Jim Turano incident and Dan said it was embarrassing to the station. He should try listening to the weekend shows, that's embarrassing. |
| 5:05
| Steve said something to Drew about the party and his face went white like he was waiting for this moment to happen. Steve was teasing Drew about it and then he said that he assumed he wasn't upset about not being invited. Why would Steve be upset? |
| 5:06
| It does seem weird that Steve is supposed to have a creative meeting with all these people though. He doesn't have creative meetings with people who are less creative than him unless he's teaching a class. |
| 5:06
| Steve will not be at the meeting but maybe the other 10 people in attendance can come up with something good. When the creative meeting was pitched to Steve he thought it would just be him, Drew and Rod talking about The Package. Then they'd take that idea to everyone else and they'd run with it. |
| 5:07
| Steve already had a good idea about what to call the station 10 years ago but Drew seems afraid to use anything that isn't his idea. Buzz gets the feeling that Drew doesn't get the WCKG/Package tie-in. On his business cards the C-K-G are all highlighted in red. Buzz might have to drop one of his business cards off in Drew's office. Maybe Buzz should go to the meeting, will there be snacks? |
| 5:08
| Lunch will be served at the meeting which is how they get people to come in the first place. Buzz doesn't want to eat lunch at the meeting he's saving himself for the cheeseburgers. |
| 5:09
| Plus we've got Taco Time at 5:00 tomorrow although it can no longer be called Taco Time. There's some taco chain in California with the same name and Taco Bell asked Steve nicely to change the name. |
| 5:10
| Steve doesn't need to sit through a 2-hour creative meeting. All he's going to say is The Package is a good idea, who doesn't want a package of things? Maybe Drew can just replay that at the meeting. |
| 5:11
| Steve can think of a lot of things to call the taco eating segment that he can't use. Yesterday after Steve and Buzz ate their tacos they discovered the new Taco Bell extreme quesadilla. It was one of the best things Buzz has ever had. He went home and told people about it. |
| 5:12
| And it's only $1.29! There's no reason to be starving. It's also a substantial amount of food. Steve's just going to eat the quesadilla today. |
| 5:13
| Of course now the taco is sitting there looking all sad. People keep asking Steve what quantities they should get for the segment but even if he says 3 tacos and 2 quesadillas he'll want to eat it all. People shouldn't give him the choice. |
| 5:14
| Steve had another revelation today, he's been having a lot of them lately. Today's revelation was about Buzz and the taco segment. Yesterday he said he was only going to eat a taco on Tuesday. |
| 5:15
| Buzz originally said that but even after the taco and the quesadilla yesterday he still lost weight. The time when Steve gets irritated with people like Buzz who refrain from eating things is when he realizes that's why they're skinny. |
| 5:16
| Steve's favorite part of the quesadilla is when he reaches in the sleeve and sees his hand through the window. It's like a movie. |
| 5:17
| Buzz feels that the quesadilla is the perfect balance of cheese and ground beef. It's better than a cheeseburger. |
| 5:18
| There are a lot of suggestions coming in about what to call the segment including Taco Dahl Time. What does that even mean? |
| 5:21
| That guy with the idea for the taco segment name might have thought Taco Dahl Time sounded like Taco Bell Time. He did hung up which wasn't necessary. Steve would have still given him something. |
| 5:22
| Sometimes people become a comic stooge but that doesn't mean they should bail. Once you call in you're in the system and no matter what happens it's going to pay-off. |
| 5:23
| That caller shouldn't feel bad though, Brendan should. He's the one who put the guy on hold, probably in an attempt to wreck Steve's show further. |
| 5:24
| Steve can really feel Matt and Brendan pushing at them. Matt, walking around with his attitude. |
| 5:25
| Steve's just going to call the segment the Five O'Clock Taco Bell with a bell ring. What's that Buzz wonders? It's The Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve and Buzz are really working well together, maybe they should go to that creative meeting tomorrow. |
| 5:26
| Steve mentioned before that he had some more bad news to tell Buzz. Bob and Ron will not be here today. Buzz was about to ask where they were and Steve has a voice mail to answer their question. |
| 5:27
| Bob left a message for Mary informing him that on a return trip from Colorado Ron's car broke down. He wanted to maybe reschedule for Friday. First of all where does Bob get off rescheduling the segment? Buzz can't believe Ron is driving, from Colorado, in a car that's leaking oil. |
| 5:28
| Steve really felt the segment had been going well for the last few weeks. Once Steve took control of the music from Pete it got better. |
| 5:29
| Pete didn't want Bob and Ron in his studio so he would lash out by cranking their music way up. Then Steve would call him out and Pete would deny it then turn their music way down. |
| 5:30
| That reminds Steve that it's time to throw out one of Pete's box of tapes. Pete feels that he has begun to clean his studio out but all he did was put the tapes in boxes and the boxes are too heavy to move. |
| 5:31
| Once again Steve will choose a box and select three random tapes from it. If any one of the tapes contains something that might even remotely be used for the show the box can stay at least for this round. |
| 5:32
| If Steve takes the box to the freight elevator Pete can't go back there and drag it to his studio. Pete should have cheery-picked the stuff he wanted to keep over the weekend but he didn't. |
| 5:33
| Maybe Steve could contact someone from the building and they could meet him at the freight elevator and take the box away. |
| 5:34
| Steve hopes the guy with the really bad BO comes to take away the tapes. Steve feels bad for that guy because he's 70 and he's still working his ass off but his BO makes you dry-heave. |

| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 5:36
| Steve got an email from David Hochberg yesterday thanking him for a Best of on Monday that featured Jeff calling into the Townstone Financial show. Then he got another email saying that it was the first time Jeff had heard it. What does Steve care? Steve doesn't even care that it was on his show. |
| 5:37

| 5:38
| Steve sort of misses the ugly baby, just a little bit. |
| 5:42
| The Ben Gay music is not coming out properly. Buzz was also just running around frantically, is there something happening? Is the world ending? |
| 5:43
| While Steve tries to figure this out he's going to play something he mentioned earlier which is him jam-raping Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum. |
| 5:44
| As Pete mentioned earlier he has a CD with three versions of the song. One of them is the original version with the bad jam, the other had it taken out and the third has the jam replaced with a better one. |
| 5:45
| Steve's going to play the original version because it's funnier. Does Buzz see how he offers himself up even in the midst of an electronic crisis? |
| 5:46
| Song: Runaway Train, Dave Pirner & Steve Dahl |
| 5:50
| There you have it. Dave Pirner actually could do the solo he just tricked Steve. Dave might have been offended that Steve was singing with him in the first place. |
| 5:51
| Buzz could hear Steve's solo getting better as he went along. He probably would have been fine the next time he tried it. |
| 5:55
| Ben Gay is here finally! Thank God too! How hard is it to get someone on the air? Does Ben need to go elsewhere and find a station that appreciates him? |
| 5:56
| Ben did not see Buzz as the Mr. International Leather competition. Were his chaps not back from the bootery yet? |
| 5:57
| Ben came in third in the senior division again. He decided not to wax his legs which might have been a mistake. |
| 5:58
| Buzz would love to see Ben do a quick walkabout in his leathers at the next Dahlfins show. Ben doesn't do straight music really. Does Steve do any Euro club stuff? |
| 5:59
| Would Buzz be willing to drive him down there maybe? Ben loves that guy he travels with, Woody. How about the three of them make a night of it in Mokena? They've got some Super-8 motels down there. |
| 6:00
| Today's sports will feature some of Ozzie Guillen's tirade after the Sox were swept by the Twins. David Aardsma walked Torii Hunter with the bases loaded forcing in the winning run. |
| 6:01
| It doesn't get any worse than that except maybe a wild pitch. He should be taken out behind the Metrodome and shot. |
| 6:04
| This press conference is very long. Ben can see why the players aren't inspired after that, it almost seems like Ozzie doesn't care. |
| 6:05
| Ben has no doubt that the Sox will begin refunding money to season ticket holders, they always do that. Then all the tickets can go to charity which is nice. |
| 6:06
| The Cubs are looking to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the Florida Marlins and pitcher Sergio Mitre. |
| 6:07
| Lou's post-game comments last night were short and to the point. It almost makes Ben want to put on the Cubby blue and play for him. |
| 6:08
| Kerry Wood and his wife Sarah have announced that proceeds from their annual charity bowling event will go towards Derrek Lee's Project 3000. |
| 6:09
| That's the event where Kerry Wood further damages his arm every year trying to bowl. How can he bowl but not throw a baseball? |
| 6:10
| Buzz saw Kerry Wood on the news and they showed him bowling which prompted him to ask the rhetorical question "why is he bowling." He couldn't tell if he was bowling with his left hand though. |
| 6:11
| Derrek Lee's daughter has some sort of degenerative eye disease so it's nice that Woody is doing this. It seems like he could just write a check instead of doing the whole bowling event. |
| 6:12
| Kobe Bryant wants to be traded from the Lakers because he says the organization is a mess. |
| 6:13
| Today's front page of the New York Post featured New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez enjoying the company of a busty blond while on a road trip in Toronto. |
| 6:14
| Ben happens to know that the baseball players favor strip clubs when they're in Canada. |
| 6:15
| After missing a fly ball the other day Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki said through a translator that he believes he can send mental signals to the baseball. |
| 6:16
| On that play Ichiro lost the ball in the sun and said he tried to tell the ball not to come to him. That headline is a little misleading isn't it? |
| 6:21
| Is Steve right or wrong in thinking that Kerry Wood has never actually done anything. He struck out 20 people that one time but has he done anything since then? |
| 6:22
| Kerry Wood won 13 games in 2003 and that was a career high so he's not a perennial 20-game winner. He'll never realize his potential. |
| 6:23
| Pete feels he still has potential and he's still relatively young. He is getting less money than he normally has but $1 million is still a lot. |
| 6:24
| Kerry Wood is just like the Music Man, he's stealing everyone's money and using a bowling tournament to cover his tracks. |
| 6:25
| The White Sox suck too though, it's time to start focusing on football. Pete wants to know what happen to our softball team. |
| 6:26
| That never materialized but Pete still thinks there's time. Buzz finds it interesting but he won't actually play. Then why does he find it interesting? Is it just another thing for him to avoid? |
| 6:27
| Mike Dahl plays in a 12-inch league and Steve told him if he ever needs a player to fill in he'd do it. Mike looked at Steve like he was crazy. |
| 6:28
| Pete can't believe that because Steve was the best pitcher in any of the leagues they played in. He shouldn't forget about Steve's hitting and fielding. |
| 6:29
| Mike Dahl said he would get the league going and David from the Little Guys also volunteered but they're all talk and no action. |
| 6:30
| It was pretty fun playing when Steve first got to WCKG. The games were at night and Pete McMurray would do the play-by-play. |
| 6:31
| Drew probably wouldn't go for that because it's not what this station is all about. Steve doesn't even want to go down that road, at some point he's going to kill someone. |
| 6:32
| Song: Rehab, Amy Winehouse |
| 6:34
| That one goes out to Kerry Wood and LiLo too. Apparently LiLo won't be in that movie with Shirley McClaine. LiLo's getting locked down for 30 days. |
| 6:35
| Steve's not surprised LiLo went out drinking a night after her DUI. You've got to double-down and then double-over. |
| 6:36
| Based on what Steve has seen he doesn't think the rehab is going to take. You need to go yourself for starters. She's not even of legal drinking age and she's already been to rehab twice. |
| 6:37
| Steve would like to get Lindsay Lohan alone for a weekend at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills and scare her straight. He'd show her how much fun she can have while sober. Steve has a whole new method for detoxifying young actresses but the studios won't take his calls. |
| 6:40
| How about that Shield last night? It seems like everything is coming unglued, is this the last season? |
| 6:41
| Every time Steve talks about The Shield or The Sopranos he gets an email from a guy who complains that he shouldn't talk about them because no one cares about them. |
| 6:42
| News with Buzz |
| 6:43
| The Dow closed at a record high today. Why does Buzz keep coming in? |
| 6:44
| The Taliban has retreated in Afghanistan, at least according to the Pentagon. Meanwhile a 2004 Northwest Airlines flight may have been a dry run for another terrorist attack according to a report in the Washington Post. |
| 6:45
| Is that the same flight that we heard about a few years ago where the guys claimed they were Syrian musicians? Buzz is totally fixated on the fact that we didn't have the correct audio for the news. Buzz can't believe that happened! |
| 6:46
| Steve calls down to the news room. Jim takes the blame, it was completely his fault. Buzz already made it clear that it was Jim's fault. Jim is burning the new audio as we speak. |
| 6:47
| Steve has the original audio Buzz wanted. Is Buzz sure that's not the same flight as the musicians? |
| 6:48
| There will be one more season of The Shield. Buzz is relieved to hear that. |
| 6:49
| Caller John wanted to let Steve know there are 13 episodes left in the final season of The Shield. |
| 6:50
| John is a long time listener and he wants to take a trip down memory lane. Steve doesn't have time for that but we can still give him something nice. |
| 6:51
| Lindsay Lohan's father is going to establish a rehab facility in South Hampton with Stephen Baldwin. Her father is the one who screwed her up in the first place. |
| 6:56
| Steve doesn't think there's anything weird about discussing The Shield, The Sopranos, The Office or 24 so that guy who normally sends the emails doesn't need to. |
| 6:57
| Steve and Buzz are stupid they know what to talk about and what not to talk about. |
| 6:58
| Steve still never grabbed one of Pete's boxes. He must think he dodged a bullet but he didn't. Pete can't believe Buzz isn't on his side for this one. |
| 6:59
| Steve's not even going to take three tapes off the top, he'll dig in deep for a core sample. |
| 7:00
| The first tape has episodes has episodes of Joey and Will & Grace from 10/02/04-11/18/04. So that's six weeks worth of Joey and Will & Grace |
| 7:01
| The tape from 9/25/04 features episodes of Friends, Coupling and ER. Buzz doesn't even know what Coupling is. Pete wants to save the tape because of Coupling but that's the sickness talking. |
| 7:02
| 10/8/04 features a C-SPAN debate. On 10/21/04 Cold Turkey which was a show about quitting smoking on Bravo. Also Life as We Know It and Primetime Live. It seems like this box is going. |
| 7:03
| All box removals are final, Steve will next carry it out to wherever the garbage is and throw it out. Pete would like to take three tapes out of the box as a compromise. |
| 7:04
| Pete is sick. This is why Steve had to wait until the end of the day to do this. Buzz can't believe he's trying to bargain his way out. |
| 7:05
| Buzz has been going through the same thing at his house with all this VHS tapes. |
| 7:06
| Steve might have to restrain Pete physically to keep him from these tapes. Buzz doesn't know how to respond emotionally to this. |
| 7:07
| Do Matt and Brendan need any of these tapes? Matt doesn't think Steve is as bad as Pete but he does have some interesting tapes in his collection like one of him putting together a swing set in real time. |
| 7:08
| If Matt had kept watching that tape he would have seen the porno at the end. As it turns out Steve doesn't have what it takes to be a porn star. |
