| Terry is hosting Chicago Tribune Live tomorrow. He's not wearing his glasses any more. That's because Steve made him self-conscious yesterday about his raised eyebrow. |
| 2:04
| Now Terry looks like Rerun. He needs to keep dropping weight even though he's lost 30 already. Terry feels like he never gets any credit for that. |
| 2:05
| Steve thinks he looks good without the glasses. He's just trying to get Stan and Terry ready for the Pride Parade. The gay guys don't like fat guys. |
| 2:06
| There are chubby chasers though, they go after black guys or white guys or whatever. |
| 2:07
| Steve was watching a special about Jeffrey Dahmer last night and he wanted to point out one thing that gets overlooked. Dahmer was not racist. He had sex with black dudes, Vietnamese dudes, whoever. |
| 2:08
| The Vietnamese kid was the one who the police found bleeding from his Todd Stroger. Then they returned him to Dahmer and he convinced them the kid was his 19-year old lover. |
| 2:09
| Terry is looking good though, Steve didn't mean anything by it. He forgot Terry was defensive like a chick. Terry doesn't look weird now, he just looked weird with the shades on. |
| 2:10
| It must have been the laser that made Terry's eyebrow all crooked. He has noticed that the left eyebrow is slightly higher. He did run into a chest of drawers as a kid and had stitches. |
| 2:11
| Terry's making his post-surgery TV debut so he's just trying to look good. He'll look slimmer than Dan Jiggetts though. |
| 2:12
| Terry's getting his haircut tomorrow with Shirley. He should put white-face make-up on too just to make a statement. |
| 2:13
| Black people get greasy looking when they sweat which could happen when he's under the TV lights. Steve didn't know that. |
| 2:14
| Steve thinks Terry looks great so can he stop all this? It's very uncomfortable. Terry works so hard to lose weight, lifting weights, working out. It doesn't just come off automatically. |
| 2:15
| Terry feels like he could just go home and eat a whole pizza now because he's got a crooked eye and he's still a fat-ass. |
| 2:16
| Terry is quite a sight power-walking on the lake front in his biker shorts. Steve was just trying to be funny about this but it's hard to do when someone goes victim on him, Wendy! |
| 2:17
| Steve recommends a trainer for Terry, that's where it's at. You don't have to think about anything or talking to anyone, the trainer sets everything up for you. |
| 2:18
| It's hard for Stan to learn all the different protocols for gyms like putting the clamps on the weights or putting the weights on the bar properly. |
| 2:19
| Steve doesn't deal with any of that, his trainer does it and he just lifts. There's supposed to be a 5 minute warm-up on the treadmill but Steve doesn't do that. |
| 2:20
| It was very crowded at the gym today but with a trainer you're still in the gen pop. Terry doesn't like the guys who are at the gym flexing. Steve just closes his eyes so he doesn't have to see any of that stuff. |
| 2:21
| Terry doesn't need to feel inadequate at the gym, he has a radio show and his own newspaper column. Plus at some point some of those gym guys are just nuts. Steve does have a problem if there's a girl who can lift more than him. |
| 2:22
| He doesn't like hearing the guys who grunt and then drop their weights in the middle of the floor. Steve just stopped paying attention to everyone at the gym except his trainer and that works the best. He only pays attention if someone is in his space. |
| 2:30
| Song: Superman (It's Not Easy), Five For Fighting |
| 2:34
| For the record both Steve and Buzz bit hard on the false ending in that song. Was that Pete's intention? Because the mics were hot but the song wasn't over. |
| 2:35
| That was not Pete's intention but he played it because Derrek Lee got five games for fighting. Wow! Steve did not see that connection at all. |
| 2:36
| Pete feels that there would be people out there who got the tie-in. It was genius though Pete, genius! |
| 2:37
| So far no one has called in to say they got the connection but there's almost a one minute delay because of HD radio, even though no one listens to HD radio. |
| 2:38
| So far one person called in but it has the feel to Brendan of someone calling in just to get a $100 gift certificate. |
| 2:39
| Speaking of that Steve has got a lot of emails over the weekend from malcontents complaining about all the free stuff we give away. |
| 2:40
| Steve and Buzz have also become embroiled in a thing with a blues guy who is trying to promote some song he wrote. |
| 2:41
| The guy wrote a song that he would like to see replace Sweet Home Chicago. Buzz doesn't think it's going to happen. |
| 2:42
| This guy has played with James Stroger, no relation to the late great John Stroger. |
| 2:43
| This is actually the first time Steve read the entire letter. Once he saw Buzz's name he just forwarded it onto him. |
| 2:44
| Turns out, Buzz was the one who sent the letter to Steve. The guy had references and one of them was Buzz. |
| 2:45
| Buzz is sorry he doesn't have the song with him now. It's not a bad song but it's not going to replace Sweet Home Chicago. |
| 2:46
| A lot of blues musicians don't like Sweet Home Chicago because they have to play it all the time. There's no other song that could really replace it though. |
| 2:47
| Steve is on the guy's website. It's not bad music, Buzz can bring it in and Steve will try to work it in. |
| 2:48
| The guy did trick Steve by using Buzz to get to him. And he thought he was so clever when he forwarded the email to Buzz. |
| 2:52
| The song, by Jim Carr, is on iTunes. Does Steve have to buy the whole thing or can he just listen to the preview? |
| 2:53
| It sounds like Sweet Home Chicago, which is the genius. Why doesn't Buzz just buy it? |
| 2:54
| Now back to the complainers. The first one starts off as a lot of these emails do with the person saying they've listened since the DAI days. Then he says he's right in Steve's demo and lists his age and salary. Steve doesn't need all that. His demo is anyone who will listen to the show. |
| 2:55
| This guy won tickets for The Pearl Room show but they never came. He has won stuff before and never had a problem until now. |
| 2:56
| The guy left messages with Brendan and Carolyn in promotions and his name and info was taken on 6/06/07. Now he's asking Steve for some help. Steve forwarded it along to Adam. |
| 2:57
| Adam and Carolyn both do a really good job back there, they're in the trenches. Jill just hangs out in front of the building smoking and thinking about banners. |
| 2:58
| Steve was CCed on an email to the guy from Adam, and he knew this is what Adam would do and it was so perfect. According to Adam's records the guy won tickets on 6/05/07 and the next day a promotions intern called him at the number he left to tell him his tickets would be left a Will Call. |
| 2:59
| Furthermore, Adam offered to send the guy tickets for the July 14th show. Steve's not sure he wants this kind of complainer at his next show. The guy had to know that by winning a few days before the Dahlfins show he was cutting it close. |
| 3:00
| We gave away hundreds of tickets for these shows and no one else complained. Steve gets the feeling that this is a way to slam Matt's show. |
| 3:01
| On Saturday night Buzz had a gig at the Harlem Avenue Lounge and he turned around on a break to see Adam from promotions with a very attractive young lady. |
| 3:02
| So this guy didn't get his free tickets to a show that was 2 weeks ago, what's the point of emailing? |
| 3:03
| He should have tried to go to the show and try to get in. If he'd given his name, lo and behold, there would have been two tickets waiting for him. |
| 3:06
| Pete likes that John From Cincinnati right? Buzz is trying to give it another chance. He really should, it's like Deadwood in Southern California. |
| 3:07
| Steve is trying to make a phone call and the extension is busy. This phone system has got to get fixed. |
| 3:08
| Now Jim has called in but he's just in Steve's way as he's trying to dial. Jim was told to call in. How can Steve have a phone that doesn't work? Buzz thinks it's like old WDAI days. Steve had a phone that worked there though, right on Buzz! |
| 3:09
| Jim also loves John From Cincinnati. He wanted to point out that the actor Buzz thought was on the show that he doesn't like is not Craig Sheefert. Butchie is played by someone named Brian Van Holt and he's from Waukegan. |
| 3:10
| Buzz has a bizarre vendetta against B-movie actors and in this case he had the wrong guy. Van Holt also appeared in one of Buzz's favorite shows, Threshold. Plus he's from Waukegan. |
| 3:11
| We need to get him on the show! It's all part of the process where Steve discovers a show, talks about it and then Vic Mackey ends up talking to Pete McMurray and Stan & Terry. Then he gets tired of doing it and Walt Goggins ends up calling in. |
| 3:12
| Steve gets tired of jumping through stupid TV hoops to talk to these people. Michael Chiklis was on the show a few times but then he got too big for his britches. Steve's not willing to suck up to 20 people to interview someone. |
| 3:13
| Steve is still waiting on an interview that Dan promised with Denis Leary. He also said that Vanessa Carlton would call in after she was done shopping to explain one of her songs. She's been shopping for a long time. |
| 3:14
| It must be pretty boring done by Jim's office now that Dan works on Garry's show. He's gone by noon which doesn't seem like that long of a work day. He says he gets here 4 hours before Garry's show which seems ridiculous. |
| 3:15
| Steve has tried to watch that Flight of the Conchords show three times and he doesn't really like it. Jim liked a few things like them trying to film a music video with a camera phone. |
| 3:16
| The songs weren't as good as Tenacious D but there were a few funny things here and there. Pete feels the same way that Jim does about it. |
| 3:17
| Buzz doesn't have to like John From Cincinnati as long as Steve has other people to talk to about it. He was wrongly accusing one of the actors of being someone he didn't like. Apparently no one heard Buzz's mistake because they didn't call or email. |
| 3:18
| Steve likes the show though. As he did with The Shield and Rescue Me and maybe even The Sopranos, when Steve feels that something is in danger of being lost he talks about it. He couldn't save Deadwood though. |
| 3:19

| 3:20
| Steve needs to buy his Millionaire tickets soon. He'll probably buy 5 to increase his chances. |
| 3:28
| During that last segment after Steve hung up on Jim he turned Pete's studio off as well. Apparently his mic light was switching on and off very quickly like a strobe light. |
| 3:29
| Pete had one more thing to add. That's the time when Pete should actually use the intercom. |
| 3:30
| Pete just wanted to reiterate that Steve was in on the ground floor with The Sopranos because Dan Falato would always complain when Steve talked about it. He even told Pete not to play drops from The Sopranos and later The WIre and Curb Your Enthusiasm. |
| 3:31
| Dan's a genius, he really knows the trends. Sopranos out, $500 birthday cakes in! |
| 3:32
| Steve will just leave Pete's studio on at all time but he needs to be careful in there. You always hear about some kids watching a TV show on cable and then porn comes on. He's worried that will happen with Pete too. |
| 3:33
| Pete has an extensive collection of hardcore, Asian porn. Steve doesn't understand what anyone is saying though. Pete doesn't either but he still likes it. |
| 3:34
| Steve has gone to the trouble of freeze-framing some video of that SUV/van from the murder/shooting of that Channahon family. |
| 3:35
| Steve has never seen this video before and it doesn't look like the car was pulled that far off the road after all. It looks like he's actually on a main road, not in some forest preserve. |
| 3:36
| Because of the HD radio delay Mark Czerniec is just now hearing what Steve is saying about the Channahon shooting. |
| 3:37
| During the last break one of the engineers came in to look at the phone and it worked fine, which always happens. |
| 3:38
| That was a new engineer who already thinks Steve is crazy. Still though, it should be to the point where Steve says there's a problem and then whatever is broken is replaced very quickly like a pit stop. |
| 3:39
| Caller Sheri wanted to let Steve know that the road the SUV was on is off a frontage road on 55 that leads to a cellphone tower. |
| 3:48
| On the phone is Pat Boyle from Comcast Sportsnet. The Cubs are in Texas tonight facing the Rangers and Sammy Sosa is going for his 600 career home run. |
| 3:49
| Interleague play, it's wild! Other than Sammy the Cubs/Rangers series is about as intriguing as the Sox/Marlins series. |
| 3:50
| Steve watched the Sox game last night. What seemed like a laugher of a game ended up being a nightmare as the Sox bullpen almost blew it again. |
| 3:51
| Jose Contreras has been brutal since last year's All-Star break. People worry about losing Buehrle but they should trade Contreras and try to resign Mark. |
| 3:52
| Steve was excited that the Sox won until he saw that the rest of the AL Central also won. The Sox are 8 games under .500 and the Cubs are 6 games under but if you ask anyone in town who's having the better year people will say it's the Cubs. |
| 3:53
| Derrek Lee will appeal his suspension which means he's in the line-up tonight. The appeal could take up to 2 weeks so he might not miss any games during the Crosstown. |
| 3:54
| He'll probably get a game shaved off the suspension too. He didn't actually connect on a punch if that counts towards anything. |
| 3:55
| That pitcher had it coming anyway because he was mouthing off. He should have gone for a body shot though. They always go for the head but everyone knows that in boxing, the body shots hurt more. |
| 3:56
| Is Steve going to have to give fighting lessons to Derrek Lee? After he puts the entire White Sox bullpen on a bus and drives it into the lake he'll head up to Wrigley. |
| 3:57
| Pat Boyle sampled some of the summer sausage Buzz sent over, it was delightful. |
| 3:58
| Tommie Harris and Rex Grossman are trying to laugh off the whole Donovan McNabb thing. It didn't seem like Harris was joking though. |
| 3:59
| Tommie Harris is filling in on Chicago Tribune Live for Dan Jiggetts on Thursday so tune in for more hilarity. |
| 4:00
| Pat would like to see on Chicago Tribune Live more often but he knows the show is on when he's on the air. Steve keeps telling people that there's technology available to have Steve on CTL while he's doing his own show. |
| 4:01
| Pat would like to see Steve on Bears Postgame Live from the stadium. Steve would do that for free just to get his press pass. He went through Drew last season but that's the worst avenue to take. Even the vendors laugh at Drew. |
| 4:08
| Whenever there's something printed on the printer Buzz takes all of the papers even if it's not all his. |
| 4:09
| Then when Steve tells Buzz that he has his story he looks at him like he's crazy. |
| 4:10
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 4:11
| Steve has more on the Channahon story but he's not sure if there's anything new. It's probably full of details though. |
| 4:12
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:13
| Nine firefighters are dead after a fire in a furniture factory in Charleston, South Carolina. |
| 4:14
| Meanwhile in North Carolina a judge had ordered DA Mike Nifong to leave his post immediately instead of in July. He's already been disbarred so what's the point of having him as a DA? |
| 4:15
| One member of Iraq's government is criticizing Great Britain's decision to knight author Salman Rushdie. |
| 4:16
| The Vatican has put out a driving manual addressing issues such as road rage, respecting drivers, avoiding hand gestures and not using your car as a symbol of power. |
| 4:17
| Steve's glad to know that any other problems the Vatican was having are solved. |
| 4:18
| Steve has been seeing a video on CNN of a principal who bought some crack at his school and was then arrested. He bought crack one day and then a few days later he's on CNN saying how bad it was and how he's looking forward to serving his prison sentence. |
| 4:19
| New research shows Americans are shorter than they've ever been. We are now being towered over by countries like Denmark and The Netherlands. |
| 4:20
| A Tennessee man ran over his daughter as she was sunbathing on their driveway with his pick-up truck. So she's got tan lines and tire marks. |
| 4:21
| That principal was arrested in February for buying crack in his office. Maybe he's already been to rehab. |
| 4:22
| Former Van Buren elementary school principal Anthony Giancola first tried crack before Christmas and was hooked. Soon he was spending between $400 to $600 per day on his habit. |
| 4:23
| Giancola first tried crack cocaine in December when a person he'd just met asked him if he wanted to freebase. That happens to Steve all the time. |
| 4:24
| By the way, crack cocaine and freebasing are two different things. Doesn't anyone have drug knowledge any more? |
| 4:31
| Anthony Giancola was sentenced to a year in prison today but once he completes rehab the sentence will be reduced. |
| 4:32
| When Giancola was arrested he said he never did crack during the school day. How do you do $400-600 worth of crack everyday and not do any at work? |
| 4:33
| He also said that he often did crack with prostitutes in hotel rooms but never had sex with the women. There are a lot of holes in this story. Most of that money probably went to the prostitutes even if you are bringing crack. |
| 4:34
| The kind of prostitute that could be paid in crack probably wouldn't go to a hotel room. All of that business would be conducted in your car which apparently The Pope frowns on. |
| 4:35
| Steve is going to play a poignant song about drug abuse because he couldn't find any funny ones, at least about hard drugs |
| 4:36
| Song: Drugs or Me, Jimmy Eat World |
| 4:42
| People called in with funny drug songs during that one. Could Brendan give some examples? |
| 4:43
| Someone said Afroman's 'Cause I Got High but that's a pot song. Another suggestion was Sammy Hagar's cover of Rainy Day Women #12 & 35. Oh yeah! We got rock that one! |
| 4:51
| That Giancola guy was using a lot of rehab speak when he was on CNN so he probably hit something right after the arrest. Would Pete agree with that? |
| 4:52
| Pete took a long time to answer and his TV is very loud. Steve doesn't want to interrupt his ABC viewing even if it's something from last night. Why did it take Pete so long to respond? Were there tapes in the way because that won't be a problem after Thursday. |
| 4:53
| An emailer corrected Steve about a mistake in his blog today. He wrote that every team in the AL Central had won but the Twins lost to the Mets. Steve swears that when he went on MLB.com last night it said the Twins had won. |
| 4:54
| Steve even said that to Pat Boyle and he didn't even correct him. If Steve had known the Twins had won he might have had a slightly more positive spin on last night's win. The gained a game on the Twins. |
| 4:55
| If Derrek Lee had just connected on one punch on Saturday Steve would be a Cubs fan right now, that's how much he hates the Sox. |
| 4:56
| It's not enough for this guy to correct Steve's mistake, he also has to correct Steve's take on baseball. No, he cannot go to the next Dahlfins show. Steve doesn't need some guy in the front row correcting him. |
| 4:57
| The Sox should have won that game last night easily because everyone on the Marlins is under 26 and making the league minimum. |
| 5:04
| Steve went back to MLB.com to check last night's scores and they have the Mets beating the Twins. Last night it was the other way around though. Steve was watching the Sox game while on MLB.com which just shows how sick he is. He's still thinking the Sox will make a run. |
| 5:05
| Caller Rick just moved from Michigan in December so he's a Tigers fan. They're a good team, Steve wouldn't mind having Ordonez right about now. |
| 5:06
| Rick subscribes to the MLBTV to watch Tigers games. As he was watching it MLB ran an Indians score that said they'd lost. Then when he watched ESPN later that night they said the Indians won. |
| 5:07
| It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Earlier today Steve and Buzz recorded 5 Taco Bell segments for the hiatus. They'll record the other 5 tomorrow. |
| 5:08
| On Thursday you'll hear a nice riff where Steve's talking about the new taquitos. So tune in for that at around 5:00. |
| 5:09
| Steve decided to go with an encharito today just to change things up. It is Tuesday so Buzz should technically be joining in. He's already had a lot of Mexican food today. He had some during the recording session and then he saw the leftovers in the kitchen and couldn't resist. |
| 5:10
| Are there any knives around here because Steve will make a mess if he doesn't have one. That's not a threat either, that's just fact. |
| 5:11
| Steve is rockin' it old school with the encharito, that's one of their original menu items. |
| 5:12
| Steve didn't know Buzz would break into the stuff left in the kitchen. On the air he's Dr. Willpower but off the air he attacks the food like Eddie Schwartz. |
| 5:13
| Steve might need a napkin before he can touch any of the equipment in the studio. The encharito got the better of him. |
| 5:14
| Steve's going to start giving away tickets to the next Dahlfins show which is July 14th at North Beach in Downers Grove. |
| 5:15
| Be listening for the sound of Steve's guitar string breaking and be the 10th caller to win the tickets. |
| 5:20
| Steve can't believe Buzz is sneaking Taco Bell down the hallway. He couldn't resist, it was all laid out for him. |
| 5:21
| There were a lot of leftovers because someone gets 2 servings of food per live read. Buzz had the chance to turn one Steve Godsell onto the extreme cheese and beef quesadilla. He was stunned. |
| 5:22
| Is that Buzz getting him back for the whole Fitness Factory Outlet thing? He kept emailing Steve about getting him something from Fitness Factory Outlet. They kept going back and forth about a weight rack and weights. |
| 5:23
| Then last week Steve thought he got a call from Fitness Factory Outlet so he asked Steve Godsell about it. Not only did he have no idea what Steve was talking about but he also told him he wasn't getting anything from them. He seemed concerned that they were calling Steve at home probably because he was afraid to lose business. |
| 5:24
| Godsell said he'd check into it but Steve hasn't heard back from him. Now he's down eating tacos? Steve doesn't really care, he'll just do the live reads and get his own weight rack. |
| 5:25
| It's just weird that he makes a big deal about getting Steve the weight rack and then he doesn't even remember that was happening. Is he like The Nutty Professor or something? Sometimes he's Buddy Love and sometimes he's the other guy? |
| 5:26
| Steve wants to call Steve Godsell but that Upscale Chicago kid is on the hotline doing his own show. That's the kid who took Chicago by storm, according to the promo, even though he was on Fox at midnight on a Saturday. |
| 5:27
| That's also problematic for Steve that he can't even dial out from his studio. He wouldn't want to pay to be on the radio either. |
| 5:28
| Steve calls Steve Godsell to ask how his quesadilla was. That says it all. |
| 5:29
| Time for some sports. The Cubs face Sammy Sosa and the Texas Rangers in Arlington tonight. Sammy Sosa could get his 600th home run against his former team. |
| 5:30
| Former Cubs president Andy MacPhail has been named chief operating officer of the Baltimore Orioles. He only likes to go to teams that can go up. |
| 5:31
| Caller Robert wanted to let Steve know that Sherman Klump is the alter-ego of Buddy Love in The Nutty Professor. |
| 5:32
| On the phone is Ed Farmer, voice of the White Sox. All of the highlights in his intro were from last night. |
| 5:33
| Ed was so despondent last week that he didn't even call in. He was busy looking for Sherman Klump and Buddy Love. |
| 5:34
| Ed looked down last night and didn't see Steve in his seats. That's because he was watching from home. |
| 5:35
| Steve has 4 other people who use his tickets so someone else was there last night. |
| 5:36
| It seems like the Marlins sort of beat themselves last night, they threw the ball all over the place. |
| 5:37
| Tonight the Sox face Dontrelle Willis. Today Ed told John Danks that he should feel lucky since not too many people get to beat Dontrelle. |
| 5:38
| Yesterday's meeting at The Cell was between Ozzie and Kenny Williams and then they called Paul Konerko in. |
| 5:41
| Steve is hoping last night's game was the beginning of a nice winning streak. The Sox haven't won two games in a row since May. |
| 5:42
| When Ed got to the booth last night he told everyone that the Sox would play Sox baseball. He doesn't know why he thought that he just did. |
| 5:43
| For a change the other team made all the mistakes and the Sox didn't. Tonight is Dontrelle Willis though and he's a great pitcher. |
| 5:44
| Steve likes Dontrelle but it's too bad he's been a Marlin for his entire career. It's too hot to play baseball in Florida in the summer and no one comes to the games. |
| 5:45
| The Sox are in Tampa next week but that stadium is indoors which doesn't make any sense. They call that stadium The Juice Box but it's really Tropicana Field. |
| 5:46
| Steve thought the Juice Box was Minute Maid Field. It used to be Enron Field. That's where the Sox won the World Series in the year of our Lord 2005. |
| 5:47
| Ed is hoping the Sox at least have a chance to get to the playoffs this year. They're 10.5 games back, it's doable. |
| 5:48
| It'd be nice to sweep the Marlins, that's a good way to go into the Crosstown Classic. Steve will be at the game on Friday. Is Buzz coming? There's always a seat in the broadcast booth for him. |
| 5:49
| Ed needs to hold on because there's some business to conduct with him off the air. Steve will be listening to the game on the way home though, he wants to hear good stuff. |
| 5:50
| Buzz probably won't make it to the game on Friday, he's got a lot to do. Steve didn't think he'd go but Ed won't forget about it. |

| In a parody of The Sopranos finale, Hillary Clinton posted a video of her and her husband sitting in a diner talking about her campaign song. |
| 6:09
| Steve was waiting for a cue from Buzz to play the audio but he didn't get it. Buzz was trying to figure out how the audio fit into the story and he glossed over the cue. |
| 6:10
| Hillary's campaign song is You and I by Celine Dion. Bill was hoping for Smash Mouth. |
| 6:11
| Steve wants to see the full video just to see Clinton walk in. There's already a song playing when the video starts, Don't Stop Believin'. |
| 6:12
| Clinton looks really sweet in his Tommy Bahama shirt. Steve just wants to see her eat an onion ring whole. |
| 6:13
| Steve watched The Sopranos finale again and a lot of the stuff that people say happen in that scene didn't happen. They do eat the onion ring whole, Steve heard that was supposed to be them taking communion. If the Catholic church starts using onion rings Steve is in. |

| Hillary orders some carrots for Bill instead of onion rings. He really wants the onion rings though. Then Chelsea is parallel parking and Johnny Sack from The Sopranos is sitting at the counter looking menacing. |
| 6:15
| Celine Dion isn't even America but Steve can see why they're using the song. She should have gone with Don't Stop Believin'. |
| 6:16
| Buzz feels that Hillary Clinton could get elected just because people want Bill Clinton back in the White House as our good time ambassador. |
| 6:18
| Vodka does not have to be made by potato and grains. Euro MPs voted for a loser definition of what vodka is. Buzz doesn't know what the MP stands for. |
| 6:19
| This comes as a blow to Vodka Belt countries like Russia who were hoping for strict restrictions on what vodka could be. |
| 6:20
| What else can you make vodka out of? Meat? Is there a chicken vodka? |
| 6:21
| The Vatican has released a 36 page document that instructs Catholic drivers on the rules of the road. It covers everything from road rage, respecting pedestrians, keeping your car in good shape and avoiding rude gestures. The Pope is like the new Shell Answer Man. Steve really misses doing the old Pope impersonation but he can switch. |

| Todd Stroger's press secretary says the Cook County Board president is doing fine after undergoing prostate surgery. He was diagnosed with stage 1 cancer which has a very high cure rate. |
| 6:23
| Why did they take his prostate out? Don't they try to treat you first? Because once that thing comes out you have a whole other problem to deal with. He should start saving popsicle sticks and rubber bands. |
| 6:24
| A restaurant in China Grove, North Carolina that was linked to an E.coli outbreak has been shut down after it was discovered they slaughtered a goat there. |
| 6:29
| Caller Bob wanted to let Steve know that there's a Japanese vodka made of rice. That's a grain though. Most vodka is made of grains or potatoes. |
| 6:30
| Steve knows all that. He's got a know-it-all on the line. He just wanted to trot out his vodka knowledge before telling Steve they also make it out of grapes, beets or other fruits. That has rendered him useless to Steve and also prizeless. |
| 6:31
| Steve prefers the potato-based vodka, it's just better conceptually. Even the Russians make most of the vodka out of grains now because potatoes are so popular with the baked potato, the french-fried potato, tater tots, potato skins. |

| Steve was going to play China Grove because of that story Buzz did but it's not the same China Grove. The one in the Doobie Brothers song is in Texas. |
| 6:35
| He still wanted to play it for Buzz because he knows he's a Doobular. |
| 6:36
| Song; China Grove, The Doobie Brothers |
| 6:40
| Buzz's China Grove was in North Carolina so there you have it, as timely as today's headlines, sort of. |
| 6:45
| The song China Grove is based on a real town in Texas but the rest of the song is a fictional portrayal of the town as Texas' version of Chinatown. |
| 6:46
| Steve never got into the story of the family that was shot in the SUV. If the dad really was adjusting the luggage carrier on the car that would explain how he got shot in the thigh. |
| 6:47
| She could have been aiming for something else. The husband said she was a bad shot. Of course you're better off being killed than being shot in the willy. |
| 6:48
| Three weeks before the shooting Kimberly Vaughn told a co-worker that her and her husband had recently visited a gun range. She told the co-worker that her only good shot was a fluke. |
| 6:49
| According to members of Kimberly's family, the husband and wife also visited a gun range when they lived in Washington. |
| 6:50
| A shrine of teddy bears, crosses and candles was erected in the family's driveway. What is the point of all that? |
| 6:51
| Investigators have begun questioning neighbors of the Vaughn's to determine if the couple ever fought. |
| 6:52
| If Steve had had a gun in the glove box of a bad family car trip he'd be doing 4 consecutive life sentences right now. |
| 6:57
| There's absolutely no reason for that guy with the crosses to be out at every tragedy. And why do the TV stations need to interview him every time, like they've just discovered what he does. |
| 6:58
| The guy also wears a hard hat because Jesus was a carpenter. Steve hasn't seen any proof that Jesus was a carpenter though. It's not like there are wood shopping centers still around that Jesus built. |
| 6:59
| Matt is really glad that Steve didn't have his FOID card when he was growing up. Rt. 66 could have ended badly. That would have been only three kids and Steve would have taken himself out just so he wouldn't have to drive home. |
| 7:00
| The Dahl family had some brutal road trips when the boys were younger. And when you're in that minivan it's really hard to grab at the kids. |
