| Why does Terry have glasses on if he had laser surgery? Terry actually just had a consultation and then the cocktail party afterwards where people could meet him. |
| 2:03
| After the laser surgery you can't be in rooms that are too smokey and Stan and Terry had an event scheduled at Buddy Guy's with Alice Peacock and Buzz. Steve had no idea Buzz was involved, he didn't even say anything. |
| 2:04
| Steve is noticing a little radio behind Stan, there's an antennae sticking out. What is that? |
| 2:05
| That's the air monitor which is how Stan would listen to the air feed of the show. It's just a little Radioshack radio! |
| 2:06
| It took Steve a year to get an air monitor in his studio. He's never seen a radio station that had a radio in the studio to monitor the air feed. That's sort of depressing actually, this is supposed to be the big time. |
| 2:07
| Steve initially thought it was some sort of crazy Stan Lawrence weather monitor. Like he planted something in the rhododendron bushes in the plaza which sends weather info up to the studio. |
| 2:08
| Most stations have an air monitor so you can hear the delay feed. The new thing is a monitor that allows you to hear the feed with all the processing on it. |
| 2:09
| There's a button in Stan's studio that says "air" but he was told not to trust it. Was that by the same person who told him to answer every phone call with "Hello you're in the air with Stan Lawrence and Terry Armour on Chicago's FM Talk Station." That's too long of an intro. |
| 2:10
| Terry did end up going to the Ocean's 13 premiere and actually talked to George Clooney. Stan places the tape. |
| 2:11
| Stan has the tape so loud that Steve can't even hear himself talking over it. Terry tried to use Cloonatics in his article today but the editor took it out. |
| 2:12
| Terry's article wasn't part of the At Play section, it was in the regular paper so that's probably why it got taken out. |
| 2:13
| Terry cited Steve for coming up with Cloonatics so maybe that's it. Steve gets the feeling that there are people at the Trib who aren't happy he's writing for them. |
| 2:14
| There are two camps in the newspaper business. One camp is full of people who want newspapers to flourish and will do whatever it takes to make that happen and the other camp are people who think you have to go to journalism school to write for a newspaper. |
| 2:15
| Why did Stan have that interview so loud? It was like an audio rape. Stan had to play it from his laptop which is Kevin Matthews' old laptop. They don't have anything to plug the computer into the board either. |
| 2:16
| Stan didn't even get his own laptop? That's sort of depressing. He probably had to take a lot of weird stuff off of there too. Was there deer porn on there? |
| 2:17
| Doesn't Terry feel like a whore when he only gets to ask Clooney one question? And then he just moves on to the next person. |
| 2:18
| Stan is very concerned about Darfur though. Sometimes it seems like if we're involved it'll cause just as much trouble. Here we go! |
| 2:19
| Steve has a lot of trouble wrapping his head around all this stuff anyway. There are starving people in Africa but there are starving people everywhere. Is it just because Africa is so hot? |
| 2:20
| Steve did see something with Bono talking about Darfur and he seemed pretty sincere. Normally Steve thinks he's a tool and he did still have the sunglasses on but he seemed concerned. |
| 2:21
| A lot of these actors or musicians feel guilty about making so much money that they take up these causes. Then they convince their buddies to get involved. |
| 2:22
| Steve heard Ocean's 13 was good so he'll probably see it. The second one sucked but he did like the first one. |
| 2:23
| If Steve does see Ocean's 13 it'll be on video. The only thing he might see in the theaters is Knocked Up. It's better just to watch DVDs though because everyone in the theater is annoying. Even at that luxury theater Steve goes to people are annoying. |
| 2:24
| Steve doesn't read much so movies are his only escape. If he really gets into a movie he doesn't want to be messed with. |
| 2:25
| Paris Hilton was put back in jail! The judge put something on his order about not giving her one of those ankle bracelets. |
| 2:26
| People keep saying she's only spent 3 days in jail but Steve was counting 5 days. It might depend on when she checks in. To Steve a night in prison counts as a day. |
| 2:27
| It also says that Paris screamed "Mom, mom, mom!" as she was being dragged out of court. Buzz is out in the hallway so he's probably monitoring the situation. |
| 2:28
| Buzz just wanted to make sure that Steve know about her screaming as she was lead out of the courtroom. |
| 2:36
| Song: Margarita, Steve Dahl & the Dahlfins |
| 2:40
| When you hear happy music like that it's hard to believe we live in a world where Paris Hilton gets sent back to jail. But we live in that world and we need the music to ease the pain. |
| 2:41
| On the flip-side of the judicial coin, that Mary WInkler woman in Tennessee who shot her preacher husband was sentenced to 3 years but only 210 days in jail. The guy made her do bad stuff and he was a creep so the sentence is almost like a congratulation. |
| 2:42
| Paris thought she'd be able to listen to today's hearing on the phone from her parents house. She probably has her own house but her parents house is probably kick-ass. That's where you want to spend your house arrest. |
| 2:43
| When Steve heard the judge wanted her present in court he figured she was going back to jail. That's gotta be the worst part, being in the real world and then seeing that door that you have to go through to go into prison. |
| 2:44
| Buzz has heard a legal question raised by some lawyers that the sheriff determines who does time in jail. Buzz said "lawyer" with a little contempt though. |
| 2:45
| In Cook County the sheriff is in charge of the jails. Buzz just doesn't see how the LA County sheriff can just defy the judges order though. That sort of throws the whole system out of whack. |
| 2:46
| If Buzz were Paris' lawyer he'd argue this is cruel and unusual punishment. She gets let out of jail and then she gets taken back the next day. |
| 2:47
| It couldn't work better for Buzz though, it has everything he loves. It'll be even better if she keeps bouncing in and out of jail. |
| 2:48
| Steve's got a picture of Paris with the ankle bracelet on, it looks sort of hot. She wears things well. |
| 2:49
| If you were ever going to suck it up and take it it seems like this would be the time for Paris HIlton. She can't though because she's a spoiled brat rich kid who's never had to do anything. |
| 2:50
| When Paris was in that horror movie last year Steve was getting a daily podcast from her complaining about how hard it was to be on the PR tour. It was things like complaining about only being in a Jr. Suite. |
| 2:51
| Mark Czerniec is on the phone. He read an account of Paris in court today and she was described as disheveled in a grey sweatshirt. The picture Steve had was from PerezHilton.com so who knows where it's from. |
| 2:52
| Mark's favorite thing about all this is the coverage of Paris HIlton. CNN is very ashamed of the media coverage but they keep covering it. |
| 2:53
| Now CNN is feigning interest in a shuttle launch. It would be really exciting if Paris was in the shuttle. |
| 2:54
| Caller Paul knows a little about electronic monitoring, almost too much. The device is hooked up to your phone modem and it's programmed to let you break contact at certain times like for church or whatever. |
| 2:55
| If you don't re-establish contact with your home when the time period is up the cops are notified. |
| 2:57
| Normally you're prohibited from using alcohol or drugs when you're wearing an ankle bracelet but there's no way to check that. There's also no motion sensor so it's not like you can't have sex. The sex is probably hotter. House arrest doesn't sound that bad plus, and Pete will probably agree with this, it's an excuse to never have to go out again. Just have Peapod delivery food and the Little Guys can update your electronics. |
| 2:58
| Freak, formerly of the Mancow show is on the phone. He's not on the air right now it's The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again. He's on WRXQ in Joliet, The Rescue! |
| 2:59
| Freak sent Steve an email asking if he wanted to be on his show since his show tomorrow is near Joliet. |
| 3:00
| Steve's going to take a break then come back and that way he and Freak will be on at the same time. |
| 3:05
| OK Freak is back on the phone, talking about drag racing. Steve doesn't really like drag racing other than doing it himself. |
| 3:06
| Most people in Joliet can get WCKG but management at WRXQ freaked out a little when they heard Steve was going to be on. |
| 3:07
| They should look at it like Freak promoting his station on a bigger station in Chicago. |
| 3:08
| Congratulations to Freak for prevailing over management to get Steve on. Or else he didn't and he's about to get fired. |
| 3:09
| The last time Steve saw Freak was at a Lynyrd Skynyrd show in Rockford. There were more people in the band than in the crowd. |
| 3:10
| People can go to Coach's Corner in Orland Park tonight where Bob and Ron will be giving Dahlfins tickets away from 10:00-12:00 |
| 3:11
| Freak is starting to freak out a little bit, probably because he's gone too long without music. There's probably a guy standing outside the studio in a bad polyester suit staring at him. |
| 3:12
| The Little Guys are also giving tickets away for tomorrow's show. Steve can get Freak VIP tickets for tomorrow's show if he's interested. |
| 3:13
| Freak is actually doing an event at the raceway tomorrow so by the time the show starts he won't be in any condition to drive anywhere. |

| Live read: DeWalt |
| 3:21
| Song: Brown Eyed Girl, Jimmy Buffett |
| 3:30
| Yesterday Steve was looking for 0w40 oil for his car. A guy called in and told him to just call it straight 40. Steve did get some 0w40 from Jim at the Jiffy Lube on Ashland. |
| 3:31
| Steve got an email from another listener telling him that straight 40 is not the same as 0w40. The zero doesn't mean nothing's there it's just another number on a scale like 10w40. |
| 3:32
| 0w40 is rare but according to Barry 5w40 was rare a few years ago. Steve remembers those days. |
| 3:33
| The book in Steve's care said to use 0w40 so he knew that's what he should say. |
| 3:34
| Steve put oil in his car last night in the Prudential garage because the check oil light was driving him nuts. |
| 3:35
| Caller Ken wanted to correct Steve's impersonation of an impact tool during the DeWalt live read. Steve was making the sound of a pneumatic tool which is what you hear in a garage. |
| 3:36
| An impact tool shakes a bolt loose or tightens a bolt up using vibrations. Ken's an iron worker, the highest he's been up is 50 stories. It's not the size of the drop it's that abrupt stop that gets you. |
| 3:37
| Ken probably has a really sweet hard hat too with all sorts of stickers on it. All Steve has is a pair of headphones and he gets a new one every month. Every job has tools in it and Steve is the main tool here. |
| 3:38
| Steve's pneumatic wrench impersonation was right on though. |
| 3:42
| In case you've been napping Paris is back in jail after serving a day of house arrest in her parents home. |
| 3:43
| The photo Steve had of her in the ankle bracelet was at her parent's house. Steve thought he heard something about how she had permission to do go to something last night. |
| 3:44
| Buzz thinks SNL would have done a really good job with all this but they're not in production right now. |
| 3:45
| Paris was in court wearing slacks and a grey sweatshirt. That's her lesbian bus driver look. |
| 3:46
| Paris has been ordered to serve the remainder of her 45-day sentence but she could get out early for good behavior. Every 4 days of good behavior equals 1 day off the sentence. |
| 3:47
| The judge said that he at no time approved release from custody to her home. This judge seems like he's grandstanding a little bit though. |
| 3:48
| The Assistant City Attorney called for the hearing and said that Paris' release erodes confidence in the judicial system. |
| 3:49
| What about the OJ trial? Same city, same judicial system. Didn't that erode confidence? They had all this evidence against him and the guy walked free. |
| 3:50
| HIlton screamed, sobbed and called to her mom as she was being taken into custody. This isn't a death sentence! It's 6 weeks! |
| 4:00
| On the phone is Steve Dolinsky, The Hungry Hound. Pete just played a drop from last year when the Hungry Hound was talking about Pizano's. |
| 4:01
| The Hungry Hound was touring pizza places with a guy who wrote a book about pizza places throughout the country. |
| 4:02
| Steve bought that book but then he put it down when he realized he couldn't go to a lot of the places. |
| 4:03
| Steve tries to visit a lot of the places that the Hungry Hound goes to that's no good because he ends up eating too much. Plus a lot of the places are crowded after they're on the Hungry Hound. |
| 4:04
| The Hungry Hound sounds a little tentative like he thinks Steve is going to say something bad about him. Steve's a fan though, he loves the segment. It also sounds like he's at a horse track or something. |
| 4:05
| The Hungry Hound was in Highland Park filming his monthly hot dog segment. He had to get back to be on TV tonight and the traffic was bad so he hopped on the train. |
| 4:06
| Tonight's segment is about Frontera. Steve's always wanted to go there but now it'll be crowded after it's on TV. They don't take reservations either. |
| 4:07
| Steve really loves the noodle segments. The best one Hungry Hound has found is actually in Westmont, a place called Katie's Dumplings. |
| 4:08
| The Hungry Hound has a show on WCKG tomorrow afternoon. His guess will be the founder of the LTHforums.com. That's a website dedicated to people who enjoy finding out-of-the-way restaurants in Chicago. |
| 4:09
| LTH stands for Little Three Happiness. In Chinatown there are two Three Happiness restaurants right across the street from each other. One is big and the other is really small and looks like a Greek coffee shop. It's really good though. |
| 4:10
| Steve's going to leave the Hungry Hound a message tomorrow, his first radio tip. Don't call in to do a radio interview when you're on the train. Why is the train so loud anyway? |
| 4:15
| Before Steve talks to Billy Jack from Comcast he just wanted to say that if WCKG is going to give people like the Hungry Hound a try-out for a show, they should give them more than an hour. |
| 4:16
| It sort of seemed like he was freaking out about only getting one shot to do the show. They should try him out for a month. |
| 4:17
| It's an hour once a week, can't they give him more than one? You can't just tell from one hour how someone is going to do on the radio. |
| 4:18
| Billy Jack knows what Steve is talking about, one hour isn't enough time. |
| 4:19
| Comcast has the Cubs game tonight and then Billy Jack will be on after that. He'll be back at Halas on Monday. |
| 4:20
| On Sunday Billy's taking part in the Ruben Brown charity motorcycle ride from Lake Geneva. It's something he started when he was in Buffalo. |
| 4:21
| Steve used to have a motorcycle but then he sobered up and realized it was crazy. He sort of wants one again. |
| 4:22
| Billy Jack has liked what he's seen out of the Bears new draft pick Garrett Wolfe. He's a smaller running back but he's really hard to bring down. He's got a low center of gravity. |
| 4:23
| Steve doesn't think the Sox should be allowed on TV any more. That game last night was horrible. Steve thought he had a good feeling about the new pitcher they brought up from Naperville. He gave up a grand slam in the 9th inning. |
| 4:24
| Then they wouldn't even show the guys running on the field on TV even though that was clearly the best part of the game. |
| 4:25
| The way the Sox have been playing Steve's really looking forward to training camp and then the start of the NFL season. |
| 4:26
| Steve still gets goosebumps thinking about what Billy told him when he saw Devin Hester running offensive plays. It's really something when he just turns on the speed. Mike Brown said that he has the chance to score every time he touches the ball. |
| 4:27
| Steve's getting goosebumps again just talking about it. The Bears should be good with him and Gregg Olsen on offense. They also need to keep Mike Brown healthy and get Tommie Harris back. |
| 4:28
| What does a William Jackson think the chances are of Lance Briggs coming back? Once Briggs realizes the real money he'll be losing he'll probably decided not to sit out. |
| 4:29
| Lance Briggs loves football too and he was making $700,000 last year so this is a huge raise. The first three games he'll make more than he made last year. |

| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:38
| The big news is that Paris Hilton is back in jail after one night of house arrest. According to TMZ's Harvey Levin the house is unique in that it has a stripper pole. How does he know? |
| 4:39
| Levin also believes the judge in Hilton's trial will have a "tough road to hoe" because the LA County Sheriff decides where people do their time. If Steve could stop for a moment, it's not "road to hoe" it's "row to hoe". |
| 4:40
| Another LA lawyer weighed in and said there's no such thing as a "too sick to go to jail rule" but really there is. Plus it doesn't matter what mystery illness she has, that's not a matter of public record. |
| 4:41
| Steve has a little bit about the stripper pole in Paris' house. According to one guest at a party at her house she has a stripper pole in her living room and pictures of herself everywhere. |
| 4:42
| Harvey Levin said the stripper pole is in her parent's house. Maybe he misspoke? |
| 4:43
| There are two calls on hold about the Paris HIlton/medical thing. Brendan says he should take caller 1 but they both have the same information. Steve doesn't want to choose. |
| 4:44
| Caller Kathy and caller Dawn both say that releasing Hilton's medical info violates HIPPA-regulations. Neither of the women know what HIPPA stands for though. |
| 4:45
| Kathy and Dawn are both talking at the same time, it's like an episode of The View. Neither person can hear what the other one is saying which is not a good feature for a conference call system. |
| 4:46
| Steve's going to let Kathy and Dawn pick two different numbers and if the wheel lands on either one they both win the bonus prize. It's double the action! |
| 4:47
| Neither number landed how is Buzz going to tailor the prize to two different women? Buzz feels that they're both cut from the same cloth so they're both get the same prize. |
| 4:48
| Caller John wanted to let Steve know that HIPPA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. |
| 4:49
| In Tennessee, Mary Winkler was sentenced to three years but only 210 will be behind bars. The rest will be on probation. |
| 4:50
| Dick Cheney is having the battery changed in his defibrillator implant. HOW 'BOUT THAT! |
| 4:52
| As it turns out the 5-second rule for dropping food on the floor is not only valid but conservative. Scientists say that it takes as much as 30 seconds for stuff to begin sticking to food. |
| 4:53
| Whenever Steve drops food on the floor there's dog hair on it right away. That's a deal-breaker for him. |
| 4:58
| Nicole Richie was on Letterman last night and she said she might also be doing some jail time. Wouldn't it be nice if her and Paris were in the same cell? |
| 4:59
| That's your Simple Life: LA County Jail right there, it doesn't get more simple than that. |
| 5:00
| It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve's having a taco, one of nature's perfect superfoods. Steve's putting some mild sauce on there because he doesn't like the really hot stuff. |
| 5:01
| Steve might have a quesadilla tomorrow night as a reward for a good Dahlfins show. Although if he does a bad show he'll probably get two. |
| 5:02
| Buzz has a feeling Piper will go nuts for the quesadilla. He could probably get one tomorrow after the show and then another with Piper on Sunday. Taco Bell doesn't put limits on the number of quesadillas you can buy in a week. |
| 5:03
| Steve is going to attempt to talk, eat a taco and do something with his computer. |
| 5:04
| When Steve heard about Paris Hilton screaming "mom, mom, mom" in court today he was reminded of Rebel Yell by Billy Idol. Steve thought he downloaded the song but now he can't find it and eat a taco at the same time. |
| 5:05
| Steve could do sports but instead he'll do Random Phone Calls. He can talk, eat a taco and answer the phone with one hand, that's how talented he is. Plus if you last until the end of the call you get tickets for the Dahlfins show tomorrow. |
| 5:06
| Buzz will be bringing his '59 Fender Champ Amp tomorrow. It's the smallest amp Buzz owns but probably the one that sounds the best. |
| 5:07
| When Steve was a kid everyone wanted a Fender and a Champ Amp. Instead he got a Teesco Del Rey and a Kent amp. He never forgave his parents. |
| 5:08
| The first caller has been waiting years and years to talk to Steve. Every time Steve has gone through something he went through it as well. |
| 5:09
| Steve's going to get this guy tickets for tomorrow's show but he doesn't need some weepy guy in the front row. Actually the caller can't go, he's seeing Roger Waters. |
| 5:10
| The next caller is really hard to understand. It's taken him a long time but he finally got through. |
| 5:11
| The next caller is another idiot. |
| 5:12
| Caller Tony saw Steve when he was out at the Aladdin with Terry and Joy. He was escorted out because people thought he was giving Steve a hard time. Steve defended Tony though. |
| 5:13
| The next caller (female) loves Steve and Buzz. She just got off work in Joliet and wanted to thank Steve for all the great years. Does she want to come to the show or is she also going to see Roger Waters? |
| 5:14
| The next caller has been riding with Steve and Buzz for a long time. She doesn't eat fast food very often but she got hooked on Taco Bell because of Steve. |
| 5:15
| Tom Thayer is here. Buzz thought he was on the phone but he's actually here. Tom was so excited to get here that he got into the cab without his wallet. He was halfway here on a crowded Lake Shore Drive when he had to tell the guy to turn back. |
| 5:16
| Then Tom had to give the guy his sunglasses as collateral so he could go upstairs and get his wallet. Why would the cabbie think Tom would take a cab ride on Lake Shore and then turn around go home? |
| 5:17
| Tom has a Taco Bell quesadilla in front of him. He normally doesn't like to eat on the air during a Bears game. Steve did see Tom power down a giant beef sandwich in about 20 seconds right before kick-off. |
| 5:18
| As Tom explained to his niece last night, when you have a giant, messy sandwich you don't want to put it down because it'll fall apart so you eat it faster. |
| 5:19
| It's weird that Drew just hangs out in the booth too, standing there with a little radio next to his ear. Tom and Jeff only let him come back because he brings M & M's from the sky box. |
| 5:20
| Tom's been up at OTA's this week and they're doing some great things offensively. |
| 5:21
| The last two years Tom has correctly predicted the Bears record. Last year he predicted 13-3 in the pre-season and everyone ripped on him. He only makes those predictions after watching tons of practices. |
| 5:22
| This year Tom made a prediction, sealed it in an envelope and gave it to Lovie Smith. He'll tell Steve his prediction off the air. |
| 5:23
| Steve was thinking he and Buzz could broadcast from training camp this year, maybe an entire show sitting in those giant baths of ice water. |
| 5:24
| Tom spent the off-season in Hawaii, it was great. He's got some activities to show him for his trip. He has them on his computer, he just needs to get them to Steve. |
| 5:25
| Tom put the fear of God into a few people to make sure Steve is all hooked up when he goes to Hawaii in a couple of weeks. Maybe some surfing or something? Steve only surfs the big waves. He was just in the Persian Gulf surfing waves from that big storm they had. He dropped in from a copter. |
| 5:26
| Tom's going to Baja in a few weeks for a surfing trip. He and 9 other guys get dropped off on a deserted island where they surf for a week. |
| 5:31
| Tom was supposed to be with Steve and Buzz at the Chicago Bears Fan Convention but he had a medical crisis. They were both bummed and scared. |
| 5:32
| Tom never calls Steve at home but he called him on that Friday morning to tell him he couldn't come in. |
| 5:33
| Tom was in Hawaii surfing with Grant Wistrom that week. Grant is retiring and he'll be the assistant coach at a high school where his brother is principal. |
| 5:34
| All of the kids are really excited that he's going to be coaching them. On the first day one kid was so excited he couldn't even practice. |
| 5:35
| On the second day Tom was surfing the leash that hooks him onto the board snapped. He had to swim into some rocks to get his board and he cut his foot. |
| 5:36
| Tom went to the first house he found, begged some duct tape from them, and went back into the water. The cut opened him up to all sorts of bacteria. Plus flying makes it a lot worse, as we learned from Anna Nicole Smith. |
| 5:37
| Tom got to his mom's house and he felt really sick so they went to the doctor. The doctor knew it was bad so he went to the hospital. |
| 5:38
| Tom was sick for about a month and the infection on his food spread onto the top and ate all the flesh off. |
| 5:39
| Tom could actually see the infection growing on his foot. Then there was a small irritation on his hip and within two days it was another big infection. |
| 5:40
| It'd be great if the Bears made the Super Bowl next year but Steve's not going to the game. It was a miserable experience last year. |
| 5:41
| Tom thinks Steve should go because it'll be in Arizona and it's indoors. They could hang out with Matt Leinart. |
| 5:43
| Caller Larry wanted to talk about the Sox and then the Bears. The Sox are dead to Steve! Larry has an idea for the Sox to get out of their funk but he thinks Steve needs to get in contact with Anita Fazano first. Who's Anita Fazano? |
| 5:44
| Larry thinks the Sox need to get Journey out to the park and have some sort of event, like Disco Demolition, to get the team out of it's funk. |
| 5:45
| Larry was wondering about Tank coming back. He can go through the OTA's and training camp and he can play in the pre-season but once the season starts he can only come to Halas to work out. |
| 5:46
| It would sort of bother Larry if he was on the team and Tank was hanging out even if he was suspended. Who is this guy? |
| 5:47
| Caller Mike was loves listening to Tom and Jeff. They bring a really great enthusiasm to the game. Mike often turns the TV volume down and the radio on even with the delay. |
| 5:48
| Steve has a radio box that lets him delay the radio so it matches up with the TV. He as thinking of giving some of those away in the fall. |
| 5:49
| Mike was wondering if there's anyone in mini-camp that's going to challenge or push Rex Grossman and force him to step up. |
| 5:50
| If Ron Turner sees that Griese or Orton are doing a better job than Grossman it's going to be up to him to make that call. |
| 5:51
| Caller Rod wants to know the impact of losing Thomas Jones. Tom was a big fan of Thomas Jones but there's a chance that the Bears could get an upgrade at running back with Cedric Benson. |
| 5:52
| Adrian Peterson will also get more playing time and then there's Garrett Wolfe. |
| 5:53
| Is Rod in an iron lung or something? There's a lot of noise in the background. |

| Tom Thayer is here and Drew just brought him some M & M's. Tom was genuinely excited about it too. |

| Before Steve takes any more calls he wanted Tom to tell the Raymond Burr story. He gets a lot of emails asking him about that. This is where "is it wrong came from." |
| 6:02
| Tom was returning from a Hawaii trip with Steve and Garry. They stopped in LA for a few days and Tom was staying near a friend in Century City. |
| 6:03
| It was really hot out (YES!) and Tom decided to sit in front of the hotel. Raymond Burr came in and then 45 minutes later he came out and must have felt sorry for Tom because he asked him if he needed work. |
| 6:04
| Raymond Burr gave Tom his car and asked him if he'd maybe like to come over to his house and do some gardening. When Tom's friend picked him up he filled him in about the rest of Raymond Burr story. |
| 6:05
| After that Steve started playing the Credibility Gap tape where the guy says "is it wrong if two guys put on bathrobes and fry up a couple steaks?" |
| 6:06
| Then eventually it just became "Is it wrong?!" Can Pete find that tape? |
| 6:07
| Tom's been listening for the past few days as Steve went through boxes of Pete's tapes. He noticed there wasn't anything in there of him and Steve though. |
| 6:08
| All that stuff has been properly archived and sent off somewhere. |
| 6:09
| Would Tom like to do the honor of grabbing a box of tapes today? They're quite heavy. They weigh about a hundred pounds but Tom will probably pick it up with one hand. |
| 6:10
| 1/15/02 the Real World premiere. Steve's not sure which one it was but Pete thinks it's Chicago. It doesn't matter, we don't need it. |
| 6:11
| Also on 1/03/01 Grounded for LIfe and Bernie Mac. Pete seems to have almost all of the episodes of Bernie Mac on tape. We only have one Bernie Mac tape that we play. This is how something like "is it wrong?" becomes a chestnut, you've got work it. |
| 6:12
| 6:17/02, King of Queens and Raymond. The next day Idol and Bernie Mac. After that Big Brother 2. |
| 6:13
| 4/20/02, Cubs vs Cincy, Andy Dick and the channel 7 news. 4/20 man!!! |
| 6:14
| 4/21/02, CBS Sunday Morning. It seems like this box is going too. There are only 5 boxes left, we're getting to the end. |
| 6:15
| Stephanie's wheeling out the cart and Tom is helping her with the door. Stephanie is a huge Bears fan so she's really excited whenever Tom is here. |
| 6:16
| Tom thought Steve's show was tonight and he didn't think he'd be able to make Mokena on Friday. He might have to rethink things now, he's a big fan of the Dahlfins. |
| 6:17
| Steve has a bike to give away from My Bike in Tinley Park. If you are the 1,059th person to text the word Aloha for 41059 you win the bike. |
| 6:18
| Janet is on the phone. She wanted to let Steve know that they have Electra bikes which is the kind Steve is giving away. |
| 6:19
| Janet had to accessorize her bike and add on all the Hawaiian stickers. Steve wanted them to keep a low profile. |
| 6:26
| There is no winner for the bike yet. If you text Aloha and it's spelled incorrectly it doesn't count. Steve can view all of that on the computer program. |
| 6:27
| Last summer Tom road his bike from the city to Hilgie's house in Lake Forest. It took him 2 1/2 hours and he stayed overnight. |
| 6:28
| There are some serious bikes up there who are 4 or 5 deep with all the skin-tight clothing on. All Tom was wearing were flip-flops and shorts. |
| 6:29
| Every single person that passed by had a comment, most of them were wondering if he was lost. |
| 6:30
| Is Buzz ready for the news? Steve has his audio so we should be ready. |
| 6:31
| News with Buzz |
| 6:32
| Actually Steve doesn't have the audio, it must be from the headlines. Steve calls down to Jim's office. He's burning the audio now but he thought Steve was still going to talk to Tom. Is he not allowed to change his mind? |
| 6:33
| According to legal expert Royal Oakes the Paris Hilton hearing was one of the most dramatic he's ever seen. |
| 6:34
| Things were so bad in the courtroom that OJ could have cut the tension with a knife. |
| 6:35
| Mary Winkler was sentenced to 3 years today for the murder of her husband, a Tennessee preacher. Winkler claimed she killed her husband because he abused her, forced her to watch pornography and have sex in unnatural ways. Is it wrong? |
| 6:36
| That shuttle is about to launch on CNN. There's still 2 minutes left so we'll get back to that. |
| 6:37
| Dick Cheney is having the battery replaced on his heart defibrillator. HOW 'BOUT THAT?! |
| 6:38
| Alright the shuttle is launching now. Steve was down there for a launch a few years ago and it was pretty amazing. |
| 6:41
| The man who's wheelchair got stuck on a semi driving down the highway has become somewhat of a celebrity. He's been fielding calls from Letterman and other talk shows. |
| 6:42
| The guy said the most surprising part is that no one tried to signal the driver to tell him to stop. |
| 6:47
| Pete just played a drop of a guy screaming at the Paris HIlton sentencing press conference. It's no one important, just some dude who was there. |
| 6:48
| It has the feel of a radio stunt. Pete thought that too but he didn't want to say anything negative about radio. |
| 6:49
| Every time the shuttle goes up it looks like it's exploding. Steve doesn't think he'd ever want to go up in one though. If you have the money for that you have to go to Russia to train and then that's where they launch you from. |
| 6:50
| Steve really just wants a jet. Tom would like one too, they need to invent something to make them enough money to buy a jet. |
| 6:51
| Bob and Ron are out at Coach's Corner in Tinley Park giving away tickets for tomorrow's Dahlfins show. You can also get tickets at The Little Guys. |
| 6:52
| You can try to show up at The Pearl Room tomorrow, some people who get tickets might not use them. It'll all be up to fire code of course. If you had stopped by the Cubby Bear without tickets you could have gotten in. |
| 6:57
| Steve said before that Bob and Ron are in Tinley Park tonight but they're in Orland Park from 10:00 to midnight. |
| 6:58
| Golfer John Daly told authorities that his wife tried to stab him with a knife. He had red marks on his face when he showed up at a local golf course the next day. |
| 6:59
| Daly called the police at 6:00 AM to report the incident. That has the feel of him coming home from an all-nighter. When police arrived the family was not home. They probably went out to breakfast to settle the whole thing. |
| 7:00
| Steve's wondering how Matt's school work is going. He's really concerned that Matt won't graduate. |
| 7:01
| Matt talked to his teacher yesterday and he's not in any situation where he won't pass which means he'll graduate. |
| 7:02
| If Matt doesn't graduate Steve's going to be in a lot of trouble. When Matt was in the studio during the last break Tom asked him if he was getting any chicks because of this job. |
| 7:03
| Steve realized he didn't want to hear that so he left the room. Tom was just trying to ask a question that would make Steve uncomfortable. |
| 7:03
| Matt's Father's Day present to Steve will be the graduation. That means a lot because it's been really expensive. If you're a white guy who can afford to pay for college they charge you the maximum. |
| 7:04
| Tom remembers being able to hold all three Dahl boys in his arms over the balcony in Hawaii like he was Michael Jackson. |
| 7:05
| Someone said yesterday that we should give Tom a show on the station. It seems like he has a much better time just doing Bears games and then going to Hawaii in the off-season. |
