| Steve had an idea for Stan and Terry but he didn't know how to drop it on them without sounding racist. Their conversation about the Got Milk ads is a perfect opportunity for him to bring it up. |
| 2:03
| Steve had an idea for a Stan and Terry t-shirt where they both have milk mustaches and it says "Got MLK?" |
| 2:04
| That would be good on a billboard too although if they get one before Steve does he's not going to be happy. Steve's on a billboard with O & A but not by himself. |
| 2:05
| Stan has seen Steve on his own billboard on some expressway. Steve's been on other billboards, he doesn't need a history of his billboard appearances. |
| 2:06
| Stan and Terry were just happy to be on the banners for the Crosstown broadcast from Yak-Zies. The day-long broadcast that was totally pointless. |
| 2:07
| Drew won't even do a similar broadcast for the games at The Cell. He said there's nothing going on at The Cell in the morning so no one would come out to see Garry. |
| 2:08
| There's nothing going on at Wrigley at 8:00 AM either but Garry was at Yak-Zies. Maybe Drew doesn't think Garry is much of a draw but Steve thinks people would come. |
| 2:09
| Drew's big idea was to have Steve broadcast from gate 5 even though he didn't know where it was. So Steve took the day off so he could go to the game himself. |
| 2:10
| Steve doesn't want to broadcast from gate 5. People will probably think he's signing people up for credit cards and giving away a free Sox towel. That happened to Stan and Terry when they broadcast from Soldier Field for a Bears practice. |
| 2:11
| That was also when the Cadillac people were instructed not to talk to Stan and Terry. It started with Stan asking the Cadillac model why she didn't get the car washed before they brought it to the stadium. So it was a mind rape. |
| 2:12
| When Stan and Terry were at the Auto Show Stan gave a demonstration, on the air, of how to get out of a trunk if you're locked inside. Stan really is a whack job. |
| 2:13
| Stan folded himself up into the trunk of a Volvo. They have a glow-in-the-dark handle on the inside of the trunk so Stan was able to get out. It must have looked like a Swedish mob hit though. |
| 2:14
| Stan popped out of the trunk and everyone applauded. The Volvo people loved it though because Stan and Terry were talking about their cars on the air. Yumpin' yiminy! |
| 2:15
| Terry's got a doctors appointment to get to. Does he schedule everything for right after his show? What's wrong with him now other than the normal things. |
| 2:16
| Terry has type-2 diabetes. That's the new thing for people who are fat. Terry's controlling it and he's lost 15 pounds so he's going for a weigh-in. It's really just about eating a balanced diet. |
| 2:17
| Does Terry have one of those BB King machines? That's what he needs to get. Then he'll walk around jamming on Lucille. |
| 2:18
| How can Stan just let Terry go like that? Does he just want him gone? Stan doesn't want to get sued because it's a medical condition or even worse Terry could die. |
| 2:19
| Terry's doctor is in Northbrook even though he lives in the city. Isn't there anything closer like maybe Northwestern? |
| 2:25
| Song: C'mon C'mon, The Von Bondies |
| 2:27
| That's The Von Bondies,not that Steve has to tell Buzz that. That was also the theme song from Rescue Me which starts up again tonight. |
| 2:28
| Buzz thought he read that the premiere was tomorrow night. Steve thought it was tonight but maybe not. Let's start taking calls. Is this the new bit now? Where did Buzz read it? Did he maybe read it yesterday? |
| 2:29
| Buzz read it in today's Sun-Times, the Doug Elfman column. Steve doesn't really care if Buzz is wrong or not he just wants to prove the Sun-Times wrong. |
| 2:30
| Steve has a bone to pick with Buzz about the channel 5 news which Steve had to watch because of the basketball game. Their lead story was about a psychic who alerted police and they got some cadaver dogs and found bones. Meanwhile everyone said they were chicken bones. In fairness to NBC, ABC did the same thing later. |
| 2:31
| Then there was a story about Father Pflager. Steve finally figured out who he reminds him of,Tom Dreissen. |
| 2:32
| The Sun-TImes says Rescue Me is on tonight. Buzz might start watching it again. He gave up midway through last season because something made him mad. There are always really good sex scenes in there though. |
| 2:33
| Steve has the first four episodes of Rescue Me on DVD but he hasn't watched them. His DVD remote needs new batteries and he keeps forgetting to replace them. Steve's remote goes through a lot of batteries. |
| 2:34
| Pete recently had the feeling that his remotes were about ready for a battery replacement but he realized there weren't enough around to replace all of them. Maybe he should be out looking for Lisa Stebic. |
| 2:35
| We should just have big bricks of AA and AAA batteries for the show. Batteries are really hard to come by around here. They're all in the engineering room which now gets locked because they finally cleaned it up. |
| 2:36
| Pete watched the first three episodes and he thinks Buzz will be happy when he starts watching it again. Won't it bug Pete that he's so far ahead now? He'll have nothing to look forward to. How did Pete get the DVD anyway, is he pilfering Steve's mail? |
| 2:37
| The bones found in a forest preserve were those of a deer, not Lisa Stebic. That's a deer, not a dear. Steve used that joke before after they found a tarp in the Stebic house with blood on it. The husband claimed it was his deer hunting tarp. |
| 2:38
| That Stebic guy is a cool customer. He's really maintaining considering all signs usually point to the husband in these kind of cases. |
| 2:39
| Everyone they talked to on NBC and ABC kept saying they found deer bones but the story was still reported as something that was important. |
| 2:40
| Then NBC called the Father Pflager thing a "developing story" even though Daley and Jesse Jackson were also involved. |
| 2:41
| After that they referred to an accident involving the space shuttle which isn't exactly what happened. Something hit the shuttle and dented it during the launch. It's not like someone floated away during a space walk. |
| 2:42
| NBC seems to be using a lot of buzz words to keep their news interesting. Steve can only take it until Brant Miller comes on. Then he shoots his TV like Elvis did when Robert Goulet came on the screen. |
| 2:47
| Steve also watched Fox news last night but turned it off before The Ten. He doesn't like the name and it doesn't start at 10:00 it starts at 9:58. |
| 2:48
| Steve has reconsidered his opinion about Amy Freeze though and now finds her hot. Buzz thinks most people on TV are hot. What about Nancy Pender? She looks like Skeletor. |
| 2:49
| Live read: DeWalt |
| 2:50
| So anyway the bones found in the state park were not Lisa Stebic's. She's hot right? Buzz thinks so but her sisters are even better looking. |
| 2:51
| Steve sure would like to know what happened though. The whole town is wrapped up in it. Buzz called Steve last night because he was on pins and needles about the bones that had been found. |
| 2:52
| How big are deer bones that they could be mistaken for human bones? It's a pretty good guess for the psychic if you say there are bones in a forest preserve. |
| 2:53
| Steve's guessing that NBC heard the rumor about the bones and then sent Amy Jacobson down there. That's a long drive and by the time she got there it was too late. They had a truck down there so they had to do something. |
| 2:54
| Then Allison calls the Father Pflager/coffin story "developing" just to spice things up. Then there's an accident on the space shuttle. And the viewer thinks acid spilled everywhere and the crew was blinded. |
| 2:55
| Lisa Stebic hasn't been missing long enough for them to find her bones either. Buzz's mind was racing wondering how it could have happened. Steve went right to thinking they were animal bones since it's a forest preserve. C'mon people! |
| 3:01
| Pete just played a drop from the NBC news last night. It picks up with Amy Jacobson sending it back to Allison but right before that the sheriff in Plainfield or wherever says they're animal bones. |
| 3:02
| Buzz mainly enjoys watching NBC so he can make fun of it. All of the local newscasts are stupid but ABC is the least stupid, probably because of Ron Magers. |
| 3:03
| Song: Black Cadillac, Roseanne Cash |
| 3:06
| There's a movie called Black Cadillac but it's not a very good one. It's not about Johnny Cash though and Roseanne Cash isn't in it. Besides entertaining Buzz what's the goal of the movie? |
| 3:07
| Buzz hasn't actually seen the movie, he has it on DVD waiting for him to watch. So how does he know it's bad? |
| 3:08
| Live read: Fitness Factory Outlet |
| 3:09
| This just in, the White Sox lost again. Buzz wonders how that can happen. Well, the Sox scored 4 runs but the Phillies scored 8. What's going on?! |
| 3:10
| Only two years ago they were great! They won the World Series! That's why it's hard to point fingers, the team isn't all that different. |
| 3:11
| 2003's Black Cadillac is loosely based on the experiences of director John Murlowski in the early 80s when he and some friends were chased by a car through back roads. |
| 3:12
| Steve actually likes those kind of movies like The Duel and Breakdown. That's the one where Kurt Russell's wife is kidnapped. Steve finds kidnapping sexy. Maybe he should register as a sex offender. |
| 3:13
| Steve saw a story about a guy who's neighbors passed around fliers saying he was a sex offender even though he's not. He theorized that someone was out to get him. Really?! |
| 3:14
| Caller Mike has some good news for Steve. Freddy Garcia is having season-ending surgery which means his career with the Phillies is over. Although Joe Crede is also having season-ending surgery. And the Sox lost off of Aaron Rowand's grand slam. |
| 3:15
| Mike is wondering when Steve will start calling for Kenny Williams to be fired. Steve doesn't really do stuff like that but apparently Mike does. Will his next call be to The Score? |
| 3:16
| It seems like someone should straighten out Ozzie though. Someone will have to take the fall for the poor play and it'll probably be Greg Walker or Don Cooper. On the other hand the Sox are dead to Steve so he doesn't even care. |
| 3:17
| The Cubs did lose in a sweet way last night so at least there's that. And there was almost another fight between the pitcher and the catcher. |
| 3:18
| If the Bears suck Steve is going to kill himself. Steve can't believe the basketball season is still going on. He was watching game 3 last night when he realized these were the same playoffs the Bulls were in months ago. |
| 3:23
| Steve just had the weirdest thing happen to him. He's been doing live reads for Fitness Factory. About a month ago the sales guy handling the account, Steve Godsell, called the office and asked Steve if there's anything he needed from them. |
| 3:24
| Steve told them he needed a weight rack and that was the last he heard of it. Then today there was a phone from a place that said "Fitness..." on the caller ID. Steve was writing his blog and didn't feel like making a new friend. |
| 3:25
| Steve's also dealing with Jeff Schwartz who's ignoring him after yesterday. Someone told Jeff Steve was ripping him so he went back and read the show log. Steve also read the show log and didn't think he said anything bad other than that he wants all the radio people out of his life. Steve has to include certain people on that list of radio people just for political reasons. |
| 3:26
| In the hall during the break Steve saw Steve Godsell and asked him for the Fitness Factory Outlet people would be calling his house. The sales guy didn't think they'd call his house and didn't think they'd have Steve's number. |
| 3:27
| Then Steve asked if he was doing something with them, he didn't want to come right out and ask if he was getting something for free. Steve Godsell didn't know anything about that either. Steve felt like he was in another universe. |
| 3:28
| Steve Godsell sent 10 emails about picking something out from Fitness Factory Outlet but today he was looking at him like he was crazy. |
| 3:29
| It's no big deal if Steve's not getting something from there, he can just go buy it himself. He just gets confused after he hears about something for so long and then nothing happens. |
| 3:30
| The whole thing had the feel of Steve bothering this guy and interrupting his day. He needs to get back to his cubicle and sell this show. |
| 3:31
| There were all of these emails sent back and forth about the weight rack Steve wanted. There was even some humor injected into it when Steve Godsell said he can get Steve the weight rack but not the girl in the picture. |
| 3:32
| Maybe Godsell though the girl was a deal breaker. Steve didn't really think he'd be getting her too though. |
| 3:33
| Steve enjoyed Chicago's scenic lake front today. He got into work early and walked down to the Planetarium and used their washroom which was very nice. It was like being on vacation because there were a lot of people speaking foreign languages. |
| 3:34
| Most of the people were from out-of-town so they didn't even look twice at Steve. He even took 2 photos of a couple against the Chicago skyline. He did one with the Hancock in the background and one with the Sears Tower. |
| 3:35
| It made Steve feel stupid that he's never been down in that area in the 30 years he's lived here. Steve has never been in the area he was today. |
| 3:36
| Steve used to go down to Navy Pier before it became a huge tourist attraction. He'd go to Rocky's for swimps. He also did a TV interview at the yacht club where someone thought he was there for the bus boy job. |
| 3:37
| Before today though Steve had never been south of the yacht club along the lake. It's really a nice area. |
| 3:38
| You can see why,weather permitting, the homeless love the lakefront. It's like you're on vacation. |
| 3:39
| Steve felt pretty good about the shape he was in because there were a few other people jogging as well. He didn't have his iPod either but he liked hearing the horns and the people talking. |
| 3:40
| One person said that Chicago would be a nice place to live if it weren't for the traffic. Ok Mr. Wisconsin or Iowa. Actually the person sort of had an Indiana feel, like they'd come up to see the museums. |
| 3:41
| Steve had a couple of German guys in bike pants when he first started walking. They really like to show off the package over there. If you're a guy everyone just assumes you have one but they have to show them off anyway. |
| 3:42
| Steve got himself a nice bottle of water from one of the many snack bars along the lake. Next time he might get an orange juice because there was a juicer in there. |
| 3:43
| Steve took a 20 with him in case he came across a corn dog or something. He could have used a nice fried shrimp stand though. He thought of taking the water taxi over to Navy Pier and having lunch there. |
| 3:44
| People who don't live in Chicago don't really think about the lake front but it's really nice. Steve didn't realize that until last summer at the Beachstro. How did he not know that place was there? |
| 3:45
| Steve thought he read somewhere that Chicago has the largest pleasure craft harbor in the world. That's if you add up all the harbors. |
| 3:51
| Caller Dan wanted to let Steve know that Chicago has the largest fresh water harbor system. And they're about to add more harbors too. |
| 3:52
| Dan knows a lot more about the lake than he should. Probably more than Steve wants to know. |
| 3:53
| On the phone is Pat Boyle from Comcast Sportsnet. Because Dan won a restaurant gift certificate Pat wins one too, it's like Bozo Buckets. |
| 3:54
| Pat also wanted to thank Buzz for the summer sausage, it's finally in the right hands and it's huge. It's about the size of a small child. It could take Pat several summers to get through the whole thing but that's fine because it lasts forever. |
| 3:55
| Pat thinks Paris Hilton would love the summer sausage though. What's with these Comcast guys trying to take Steve into the gutter? |
| 3:56
| Pat doesn't want to talk about the Chicago sports teams because it's too depressing to him. Steve says the Sox are dead to him but he did watch the game last night. |
| 3:57
| Steve did boycott the game today where Aaron Rowand won the game for the Phillies with a grand slam. It seems like a lot of the Sox problems can be traced back to the Aaron Rowand trade. |
| 3:58
| They should have never broken up the Three Amigos in the outfield. The Three Stooges weren't the same when Shemp came along. |
| 3:59
| Pat thinks the fire sale will happen sooner than everyone thinks. Steve doesn't think they should have a fire sale since this is basically the same team that won the World Series. |
| 4:00
| Then the Sox are getting into fights with Patti LaBelle's entourage. And they didn't even pick a good restaurant to eat at in Philly. Steve would have gone to Bookbinders. |
| 4:01
| A few of the player's wives were out to dinner with them on Sunday so whatever was being said at the table that offended LaBelle couldn't have been that bad. |
| 4:02
| Maybe that's part of the problem, the players are out with their wives on the road. They should be out nailing chicks. Steve might have to declare martial law and take over the entire team. |
| 4:03
| The Cubs aren't doing much better though, they lost last night. They're now 1-6 in extra inning games this year. |
| 4:04
| It seems like Michael Barrett is off his rocker too. Pat has talked to him off the field and he's a really nice guy, he always says the right things. On the field this year though it seems like he's having a lot of trouble. |
| 4:05
| Steve's given up on baseball he's just going to walk along the lake and look forward to the football season. It's 50+ days until training camp. |
| 4:06
| It seems like the Bears made all the right moves during the off-season. Hopefully Briggs comes back and Benson can stay healthy. |
| 4:07
| Tyrone's checking in with some traffic. It's really beautiful up in the choptater today. |
| 4:08
| Tyrone flew over the lake front while Steve was walking today. He thought they'd erected a Steve Dahl statue! There were pigeons landing on him. |
| 4:14
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:15
| The man who once plotted to kidnap David Letterman's son has been arrested after a jailbreak. |
| 4:16
| PETA, who once named Paris Hilton one of the worst dressed celebrities is asking her to narrate a documentary about KFC's mistreatment of chickens. Why are they trying to make up with her? Do they think she has street cred now? |
| 4:17
| Hilton's parents also visited her in jail today. Her dad sure seems sleazy. This is probably the most he's ever planned for one of her birthday parties though. |
| 4:18
| Mr. Wizard, Don Herbert, is dead. Buzz thought he already was dead. Steve loved Mr. Wizard as a kid. He loved when Rita came by to visit. He always thought she had red hair even though the show was in black and white. |
| 4:19
| The town of Delcambre in Southern Louisiana has banned the wearing of saggy pants which reveal the wearer's private parts. That means Steve and Buzz can't go there. |
| 4:20
| That doesn't seem like a constitutional law. On the other hand Steve hates when he's in Hinsdale and he sees kids walking around with really baggy pants. |
| 4:21
| This summer Chicago will play host to the first-ever Arab Fest. Arab Fest! Steve does like Arab food. Plus Shakira's Lebanese, she grew up in Lebanon and learned belly-dancing there. |
| 4:22
| Steve has nothing against Arabs, he'd go to that if he was in town. Hopefully the Arabs won't be mad that they're not getting a main festival site though. That probably doesn't happen in the first year. |
| 4:23
| Do any of the other nationalities get to use Grant Park for their festivals? Buzz remembers playing an Italian festival in Grant Park. Other than the food how can you tell the difference between Arab Fest and Italian Fest? |
| 4:29
| Caller Brian is wondering if a band on low-rise jeans in that Louisiana town means no more plumbers. You can't be a plumber without plumbers butt. Maybe the plumbers are exempt, their union probably stepped in. |
| 4:30
| Steve would like to compliment Brian for recapping the story from the news, that's good listenership right there. |
| 4:31
| Steve's come up with a new time saving method for spinning the wheel. Instead of asking "what number did you pick?" he'll just assume the wheel didn't land on their number. |
| 4:32
| If the wheel does land on their number the caller will say something and then Buzz will confirm it. Buzz usually knows what number the person picked and if the wheel lands on it he gets excited about the bonus prize. |
| 4:33
| Live read: Famous Dave's |
| 4:34
| Steve goes through this every year with the Famous Dave's live read. It says there are 6 different BBQ sauces but they only list five, Rich & Sassy, Hot & Sassy, Georgia Mustard, Sweet & Zesty and Devil's Spit. |
| 4:35
| Now Steve will have to look up what the 6th sauce is because it's driving him nuts. Granted it's not a long drive. |
| 4:36
| Texas Spit is the 6th Famous Dave's sauce but now they have a 7th variety, the Smokey Chipotle. |
| 4:37
| Notice Steve's correct pronunciation of "chipotle", having grown up in Southern California. Although when Steve was growing up they didn't know anything about chipotle peppers. They knew a lot about peppers though, your Anaheims, your Pablanos but the chipotle totally blind-sided them. |
| 4:38
| They might want to add these other sauces to the live copy though. Steve met with the sauce guy last year, right before Memorial Day weekend. Heidi, the hot grandmother just left the guy in Steve's office and then left for the weekend. |
| 4:39
| Caller Glen wanted to remind Steve about Gaelic/Celtic Fest where big hairy guys are dressed like catholic school girls throwing rocks and giant pieces of wood. |
| 4:40
| Gaelic and Celtic? They combine them? Aren't there fights about that? Gaelic/Celtic Fest takes up all of Grant Park for three days. |
| 4:41
| Glen won the bonus prize which is a huge selection of DeWalt power tools. Steve really wants that prize too. |
| 4:42
| Caller Terri wanted to let Steve and Buzz know that Daley Plaza, where they'll hold Arab Fest, also plays host to other ethnic festivals like Turkey Fest and Highland Fest. |
| 4:43
| Steve was so excited about Turkey Fest because he loves turkey. Then he got there and it was totally different than what he thought. They didn't have any turkey just Turkish people. It ended up being fine though he just had to take the cranberry sauce back to his car. |
| 4:44
| Daley Plaza also hosts an Asian festival. Would that be a place where Steve could get washed? |
| 4:45
| Terri is not Turkish but she'd like to go to Turkey. Does she want to go for the hash? Why would you want to go to Turkey? Isn't that where Midnight Express took place? |
| 4:51
| Caller Mary hits a lot of the summer festivals with her friends. Steve has finally begun enjoying Chicago's lakefront after living her for 30 years so you'll see him festing this summer, walking around with a pickle on a stick. |
| 4:52
| One festival Mary goes to every year is at the end of August, Greek Fest. They shut down a stretch of Halsted in Greektown and all the restaurants have booths. |
| 4:53
| Mary also goes to Ribfest in Naperville every year. That always looks lame when Steve sees it on TV like it's just rib places from around him. Doesn't he want to see Foghat? |
| 4:54
| Ribfest actually features award-winning BBQ places from around the country as well as Foghat. "Slow cook! Make it greasy!" Last year they had REO Speedwagon. "Ridin' the slab out!" |
| 4:55
| Mary also goes to the Downers Grove Fest every year. What do they have there,downers? Last year The Cryin' Shames played there. Is that the band that Bob Stroud is in? |
| 4:56
| Mary's a little older so her and her friends like to reminisce with these bands. Steve must not be as old as Mary because she's touting Downers Grove Fest. If Steve ever touts Downers Grove Fest put a gun in his mouth. |
| 4:57
| The only other suburban festival Steve wants to hear about is Cream of Wheaton. |
| 4:58
| Mary and her husband loved the show on Saturday at The Pearl Room. She's just making all the hot spots isn't she? |
| 4:59
| That Ribfest always looks really lame on TV. The land that it's on is too spacious so Steve only sees the places that are near him. Ribs aren't a stand-up and walk around food anyway. It's a sitdown in privacy food, it's too messy. How the hell is Steve going to eat ribs and dance his ass off to Foghat?! |
| 5:00
| That's enough fest talk although Steve really wants to go to Cream of Wheaton. It can't be as good as it's name though, that name is the best ever. |
| 5:05
| Pete has apparently seen Music & Lyrics and made some sort of connection with it. That's the second drop from the movie this week. |
| 5:06
| If we're going to play a drop about weird bookings how about Spinal Tap? Music & Lyrics is a chick flick. |
| 5:07
| Steve accidentally saw The Holiday with Jack Black. Don't make the same mistake he did. At some point the actors stopped acting out of protest because of how bad the movie was. |
| 5:08
| Time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve is now in the loop with the Taco Bell people because of his work here. That has brought him knowledge which he could share with Buzz or lord over him. He might do both. |
| 5:09
| The extreme quesadilla will only be available for another two weeks. They can't possibly make money on that thing. Buzz is willing to pay more than $1.29. |
| 5:10
| The next promotion will be the chicken taquito. That's a deep-fried tortilla with chicken and cheese. Steve calls them the raquitos. |
| 5:11
| Taco Bell will also make Steve and Buzz some taquitos before they're available to the public. Maybe Taquito Thursday? |
| 5:12
| Steve was going to play a Nadas song but the volume was too low because he was playing Tequila for the Taco Bell segment. Now he has to find the song again. There's a lot that goes into these radio broadcasts that people don't know about. |
| 5:13
| Song: Listen Through the Static, The Nadas |
| 5:20
| Steve sat in the studio for 5 minutes with the wrong song ready. He couldn't have been told more times to have the Ben Gay song ready. He's like the hare from Tortoise and the Hare. If you see him move though you'd think he was the tortoise. |
| 5:21
| Ben Gay is here, finally! How hard can it be?! Ben doesn't even want to hear from Steve, he should just keep his mouth shut. Steve is the new It. Ben hates him, he stole his look but not his wardrobe and sticktoitiveness. |
| 5:22
| The Phillies swept the White Sox with an 8-4 victory today. Aaron Rowand had the game-winning home run. Good thing they traded him. |
| 5:23
| Joe Crede had season-ending surgery today meaning rookie Josh Fields will see plenty of playing time at third base. Ben wouldn't mind getting to third base with Josh Fields. |
| 5:24
| Aaron Rowand took AJ PIerzynski out for a Philly Steak sandwich during the series. Ben has often taken a guy out for a Philly Steak sandwich and they're always surprised by what they get. |
| 5:25
| The Cubs host the Mariners again tonight. Sean Marshall faces Miguel Batista, no relation to Batista the dictator. Or was he the American puppet? |
| 5:26
| Cubs pitcher Rich Hill got into an argument with Michael Barrett last night during the game. Hill is claiming there was no fight and he was mad at himself for making a bad pitch which resulted in a single by the Mariners pitcher. |
| 5:27
| There's no Rich Hill was blaming himself, that's not what pitchers do. They blame the catcher. Pitchers are big crybabies. Can you tell that Ben is a catcher? |
| 5:28
| Cubs president John McDonough denied press reports that the team had banned long-term fan Ronnie "Woo-Woo" Wickers from the ballpark. They'd certainly be within their rights to do so. |
| 5:29
| Former American Idol contestant and Jessica Simpson lookalike Kelli Pickler sang the 7th Inning Stretch. Cubs announcer Bob Brenly said Pickler was a huge hit with players before the game. |
| 5:30
| There's no audio of Bob Brenly though, it's just her singing. Did we censor that tape? Brendan thought he could have set it up better. |
| 5:31
| Pete says that the entire interview with Kelli Pickler was pretty funny but he didn't hear Bob Brenly say anything about her meeting the team before the game. |
| 5:32
| Ben loves when he has the young boys on the show, they're under his tutelage. Actually Ben's tutelage program is currently being investigated by the state. |
| 5:33
| Don't Pete and Brendan work together for these sportscasts or does one offer up a Pickler and the other a Brenly and just let Ben deal with it? |
| 5:40
| Bob and Ron are here, enjoying the Kelli Pickler audio from last night. It makes them look like geniuses. They could be Rhodes Scholars. |
| 5:41
| Steve can't believe the Cubs actually call it a bullpen. That's not a bullpen that's just the sidelines because they have no room for a bullpen anywhere else. |
| 5:42
| Bob and Ron are not heading off to Bonnaroo although they were invited by the Bonnaroo people. They've covered it every year of it's existence. Where do they cover it? |
| 5:43
| Bob and Ron have covered it on the Phishing Report. They're like Bruce Levine. Bonnaroo is in Manchester, Tennessee near a town called Altamont. Whoa! |
| 5:44
| Over the weekend Bob and Ron did do a Phishing Report during the Record Club at 4:20. Steve didn't listen because he needed silence. |
| 5:45
| This week in rock history we celebrate the birthday of one Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick. Ron always loved that he had an ashtray attached to his kick drum even after he quit smoking. |
| 5:46
| Kick drum? That's also known as the bass drum since we're not just broadcasting closed-circuit at Guitar Center. |
| 5:47
| Bob and Ron can get Steve passes for Bonnaroo. There's probably a lot of hippie chicks ripe for the picking at that thing. It'll be much better for him than Arcade Fire. Steve and Buzz rolling up in a 40-foot RV at Bonnaroo? They're good to go. |
| 5:48
| Bob and Ron want to go with Steve but they'll have to get their own bus. Something more like what The Nadas have, that bus was filthy and there were women on it too. What girl would be in that kind of filth? |
| 5:49
| Steve likes filthy but not that kind of filthy. Bob and Ron have read Steve's MySpace page, they know what he likes. |
| 5:50
| Speaking of that, Steve got an email with a link to a Yahoo Personal that was using his picture. It says Steve is 47, living in DeKalb and never intentionally mean. |
| 5:51
| It doesn't seem right to use a picture of Steve for your personal ad. It says he has brown hair but Steve's hair isn't brown in the picture. |
| 5:52
| It's really creeping Steve out that this ad is up on Yahoo, he's going to email the guy. |
| 5:53
| This weekend also marks the anniversary of the Monterey Pop Festival. Some people talk about the curse of King Tut but Bob believes in the curse of the Monterey Pop Festival. |
| 5:54
| This week is also the birthday of Frank Beard of ZZ Top. Frank was the only member of ZZ Top without a beard. |
| 5:55
| Today's song is I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide by ZZ Top which is one of Ron's favorite songs. Really? Steve was leaning towards Cheap Trick but he likes ZZ Top too. Ron thinks |
| 5:56
| Song: I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide, ZZ Top |
| 6:01
| That song did sound good. Steve just had a bad flashback to his parody song I'm Chad, I'm Nationwide. Steve was doing a different song every week, it was embarrassing. Buzz thought it was funny in the context of a different Bears QB every week. |

| Is Buzz ready for the news? We can do that now or we can go get a box from Pete. |
| 6:12
| Steve would rather wait to get a box because Pete really dreads the whole thing. |
| 6:13
| News with Buzz |
| 6:15
| Iran's parliament voted in favor of a bill that could lead to the death penalty for people convicted of working in pornographic movies. That's too bad because Steve planned on spending his twilight years in the Iranian pornography business. Maybe by then it'll be on the comeback trail. The pendulum swings both ways. That'll be the name of Steve's first porno film, The Pendulum. |
| 6:17
| The Dow had it's best day since last year. Buzz is back! He tried to not come in today but Steve told him to wait until the closing bell. By 3:30 he was trying to quit. |
| 6:18
| PETA is asking Paris Hilton to narrate a video depicting KFC's abuse of chickens. The chickens are going to die somehow, Steve needs his in a bucket. |
| 6:19
| PETA claims some chicken's throats are slit while they're still conscious. How much does a chicken really know? Even if the chicken's life flashes before it's eyes, all it'll see is a chicken eating corn. |
| 6:20
| Les Moonves said yesterday that sexist attitudes are partly to blame for Katie Couric's sinking ratings. Or could it just be that she sucks? |
| 6:29
| It's time now for Steve to get another tape from Pete's studio. We're down to 4 boxes plus the one box that has one tape in it. |
| 6:30
| It's Pete's stuttering just an attention-getting device? Because he doesn't stutter that much normally. The problem is that he has too much going on in his studio. There was one time where Steve had him turn everything off in there and he didn't stutter. |
| 6:31
| Pete can't really bring himself to turn of the TVs now though. He's worried that he'll miss Wolf Blitzer saying something enlightening. |
| 6:32
| Steve has said all along that he'll only take out three tapes per box but he's trying to give Pete the benefit of the doubt and take out more. |
| 6:33
| 3/09/04 a Square Peg marathon. Also some March Madness from 3/10/04. It doesn't say who's playing though. If it said it Steve would have read it. |
| 6:34
| From 1/06/00, just 6 days into the new millennium, Friends, Gilmore Girls, Fox news, SNL. Then CBS Sunday Morning and some football. That sounds like Pete's weekend. |
| 6:35
| How would Pete even know what was on any of those TV shows? Even if he can go on the internet and figure it out he'd still have to search through an 8 hour tape for what he needed. |
| 6:36
| Pete thinks Steve and Buzz just don't appreciate a nice VHS tape. They appreciate what he does but this tape stuff is crazy. He's stuttering and surrounded by thousands of VHS tapes. This is an intervention though and interventions never go well. |
| 6:37
| From 11/07/99, as in 1999, football, King of the Hill, Simpsons and Felicity. Pete would like to keep Felicity but he can just buy it on DVD and charge it to Steve's credit card too. |
| 6:38
| There's a chance that Steve's credit cards have been compromised. Apparently a reporter hacked all the credit card information from the Paris Hilton Exposed website. Steve used Brendan's credit card to sign up although that was taken away from him so it should be fine. |
| 6:39
| Brendan's card was taken away from him because he was abusing it and paying his cable bill and his People's Energy bill. |
| 6:40
| So this box is going right? Steve looked at 5 tapes. Pete knows there's something of value in every box. Buzz will concede that point but we'll never find it. |
| 6:41
| Pete's starting to freak out now because there are only three boxes left. He knows that after the boxes are gone Steve will move to the purchased VHS tapes he has stacked against the wall. |
| 6:42
| Buzz has never noticed those tapes but there are a lot of those too. He's got the entire first season of Diff'rent Strokes on VHS but the only thing we need from that show is the episode where Gordon Jump is the child molester. |
| 6:47
| Buzz was just in Pete's room and there are only 3 boxes left, down from 20. He went around to where Pete works and there's still a wall of hundreds of tapes. |
| 6:48
| Pete still has so many tapes in there that he can't replace the plastic floor mat you roll your chair on. It has a big hole in it. |
| 6:49
| Steve's got a hiatus coming up and he might have a few days where he'll be able to come down here and clean it all out. |
| 6:50
| Pete makes Steve and Buzz look crazy and they've spent their entire lives trying to not look crazy. |
| 6:51
| Steve is available to clean that whole thing out on the first day of his hiatus so Pete should get ready. On day two he'll be at the Cubs/Sox game but he's available for day one. |
| 6:52
| Pete does have a lot to do so he could probably use some help but he won't let anyone else help him. |
| 6:53
| There was an intern a few years ago who was able to go into another studio and listen to the tapes and pull stuff off of there. The catch-22 is that there are too many tapes to archive in the first place. |
| 6:54
| Right now Pete is looking at tape that has Joan of Arcadia on it that he knows he can get on DVD. Steve doesn't think he'll ever need anything from Joan of Arcadia. If Steve wants to see Mary Steenburgen he'll watch Curb You Enthusiasm. |
| 6:55
| When guests are on the show they go into Pete's studio and probably think they're in the Psycho house. Then they wait for Steve to take them into the basement and show him the mummified remains of his mother sitting in a rocking chair. |
| 6:58
| An apparently intoxicated 42-year-old man working as a lawn mower was beaten up and hospitalized after allegedly fondling a teenage girl on the South Side. |
| 6:59
| The man was mowing the lawn of a house on the 1300 block of E. 69th Street when he approached the front door and asked a 15-year old girl to let him inside. He asked her for a garbage bag and then began touching her arms and upper chest area. |
| 7:00
| You can't let the landscaper in the house people! The man told the girl he was going to make her his wife. A 10-year-old boy walked in the room and began shouting at the man to get away from her. |
| 7:01
| The man ran outside when the girl threatened to call the police and was beaten up by an 18-20-year-old man passing by. That seems like assault to Buzz. He always takes the side of the alleged sex offender. |
