| 2:04
| There's a fire drill on the 10th floor tomorrow but no one knows when it is. It's not a fire drill if you know when it is though. |
| 2:05
| This seems like the perfect opportunity for Stan to launch into his sprinkler rant. He actually doesn't do that rant any more, the first time was the last time. |
| 2:06
| Stan and Terry don't have to leave if they're on the air during the fire alarm. The alarm will go off but it's sort of funny. |
| 2:07
| Steve would probably leave the studio if he smelled smoke but first he'd call the hotline and put himself on so he could stay with the listeners. |
| 2:08
| Stan remembers that Steve has that fire emergency kit. Stan knows a lot of stuff about Steve but it's not interesting or funny. |
| 2:09
| Stan should have a really long song ready to go in case they ever had to evacuate. |
| 2:10
| If you ever hear Down by the River on the Stan and Terry show you'll know they've evacuated for a fire. |
| 2:11
| Terry puts product in his hair which means he's flammable so they'd have to get out of here really quickly. |
| 2:12
| Last night when Steve was watching the news coverage about that fire in Charleston there was some statistic about buildings with sprinklers. That said only 1 person has died in building fires with sprinklers. |
| 2:13
| The Prudential Building probably doesn't want a Stan Lawrence involved in their fire drill, he'll just poke holes in it. Stan only wants to know where WCKG's meeting place is. |
| 2:14
| Caller Steve is in the air with Stan & Terry and Steve Dahl on Chicago's FM Talk Station. Steve wanted to point out that it's important to know if the fire is above you or below you. |
| 2:15
| Steve did at one point seek out the second staircase on the floor so it's good to know that. |
| 2:16
| There's a guy on hold who seems to want to drag Stan into sprinkler talk but he shouldn't take it. Whoever screened that call is not Stan's friend. |
| 2:17
| The guy was pointing out that there were sprinklers in the World Trade Center but planes crashing into the building is different than someone's popcorn catching on fire. |
| 2:18
| Caller John is in the air with Stan & Terry and Steve Dahl on Chicago's FM Talk Station. John works construction and as soon as the fire alarm goes off the elevators are supposed to go straight to the first floor. |
| 2:19
| Stan says that depends on what kind of building you're in. Here we go! Maybe John and Stan would like to meet up at Quizno's and go over building blueprints. |
| 2:27
| Song: Baseball Summers, Steve Dahl & the Dahlfins |
| 2:32
| That's one of Pete's favorite songs that Steve sings. He hasn't added it to the Dahlfins repertoire yet because he doesn't rehearse with The Nadas very often. |
| 2:33
| The Nadas are pretty good about picking stuff up very quickly though. They did do Comiskey Park at the last show. Pete reminds Steve that we're giving away tickets to the next show all day when you hear the cartoon guitar string break. |
| 2:34
| Steve should add Baseball Summers to the repertoire but he's also like to add Warren Zevon's Hula Hula Boys. |
| 2:35
| Mike Butterworth, of The Nadas and the Mrs. Butterworth's syrup fortune, told Steve that Hula Hula Boys was favorite Steve Dahl & the Dahlfins song. |
| 2:36
| Then Steve had to tell him it was written by Warren Zevon. He liked it because it was written by a good, professional songwriter. Then Steve told Mike that all of his favorite Nadas songs were written by Jason. |
| 2:37
| Steve will have to drop Cicada from the setlist for the next show since they're all dead now. |
| 2:38
| Steve still needs to get a jet deal worked out so he can fly to Des Moines for rehearsal. Drew's been talking to the jet guy and he's got the price up to $10,000. |
| 2:39
| Drew is going to be really mad that he missed another taping of 5 Five O'Clock Taco Bells. |
| 2:40
| Buzz takes really big bites of his food. He's so repressed when he eats that the beast is unleashed. It's a flesh rampage. |
| 2:41
| Buzz had his first taquito today and he really enjoyed it. Whatever that spice is in there it's fabulous. |
| 2:42
| Steve hasn't heard from Drew in a while, hopefully the little feller is OK. Steve calls down to his office but he's on the phone. Steve leaves Drew a message telling him to not come down here. |
| 2:43
| Drew is on the phone, he had no idea there was more Taco Bell coming today. He had to duck out on a conference call to call Steve. |
| 2:44
| Was it a conference call with Jack Silver lecturing everyone about the future of radio? It's probably just some policy lecture about not taking payola. |
| 2:45
| Steve feels sorry for Drew that he has to do all those conference calls. He wants to be cool and sit with the cool kids during lunch. Steve and Buzz will only let him sit at their table if he can help with their homework. |
| 2:46
| Drew ducked out of the conference call but he probably had Dan taking notes for him. Dan might not be here though he usually leaves at noon. |
| 2:47
| Steve calls the news room. Jim says that Dan left at noon today. At one point he was on the phone telling someone about the Michael Barrett trade. Who doesn't know about that yet? The only person Steve can think of is Buzz, did Dan call him this morning? |
| 2:48
| Not that Jim was eavesdropping, but it sounded like the person Dan was talking to didn't know about the trade. He imagined Dan was calling Bill Murray who was filming a movie in some exotic location and didn't know about the trade yet. |
| 2:49
| It is much more exciting when you think of Bill Murray filming a movie with Wes Anderson in India or something, skinny dipping in the Ganges River. Then he sees Dan is on the phone and knows it must be some important news from Chi-town. |
| 2:53
| Steve just turned on his mic and cleared his throat. He's been having a lot of allergy issues in the last few weeks. Buzz didn't know Steve had any allergy issues. |
| 2:54
| Normally Steve takes an Alavert and he's fine but he's had to double-down lately because the mold counts are very high. |
| 2:55
| Steve's on WCKG.com and if you stay on the home page for about a minute Steve walks out and starts talking. This is the thing he filmed a few weeks ago. |
| 2:56
| It's pretty funny but the audio keeps cutting out and it takes a while to show up. They act like it's all this advanced technology but it's just a guy in an office down on the 9th floor with a green screen. |
| 2:57
| The website is looking better but it's not great yet. Buzz was highly entertained watching Steve walk out and start talking though. |
| 2:58
| There's a lot of Garry Meier stuff on the website even though he's only on for 3 hours. Drew is still trying to trick people into thinking Steve and Garry are back together. |
| 2:59
| On the website you can text Garry, email him or submit your favorite recipe for the first annual Garry Meier Fourth of July special, whatever that is. |
| 3:00
| You can also check out the G-List which has the top 10 best public bathrooms in the city. You can also submit ideas for a cool DJ nickname for Garry or ideas for the 2016 Summer Olympics logo. He's making the listeners do all the work. |
| 3:01
| Why does Garry need a nickname? Buzz gets the feeling he doesn't, it's just a bit. In Steve's world people nickname you on your own. |
| 3:02
| Garry has a very interactive show. Shouldn't there be more questions on the website about stuff that Steve and Buzz need? |
| 3:03
| Adam from promotions is trying to make the website better. They need to get rid of that pie-hole stuff. Drew says it's very expensive to redesign the website. Why don't they just trade out with an advertiser? |

| Song: Hula Hula Boys, Steve Dahl & the Dahlfins |
| 3:12
| Buzz was very impressed with Steve's falsetto in that song, it was great. Steve also played ukulele. |
| 3:13
| Steve has made a startling discovering on his pants. He thought he had spilled some Taco Bell on his pants but upon further inspection he realized he accidentally bleached his pants. |
| 3:14
| The automatic chlorinator on Steve's pool doesn't hold all that much chlorine. Steve had to fill it up last night and must have gotten some on his pants. |
| 3:15
| Steve only has three pairs of these shorts and he needs to know they're all in rotation. Now he only has 2 pairs in rotation and he's leaving for vacation on Saturday. Now he'll have to have a new pair overnighted to him, which will cost more than the actual shorts. |
| 3:16
| Steve is normally very careful about this kind of stuff but he's going to blame the pool company. They just filled the chlorinator on Friday and it was already out by Tuesday. |
| 3:17
| Steve should have waited for water to drain out the chlorinator so it's partially his fault. Of course the whole point of having a pool service is so you don't have to deal with this kind of stuff. |
| 3:18
| If Steve's size or style is backordered he'll probably go nuts. He needs to have three pairs of charcoal shorts and three pairs of navy blue shorts in rotation at all times. |
| 3:19
| Steve spends a lot of time trying to figure out the difference between black and navy blue shorts though. He often has to hold the shorts up to other pieces of clothing. |
| 3:20
| Buzz was once shopping for a black shirt. He picked one up that was supposed to be navy, but Buzz couldn't tell the difference. He asked the store employee and he also said it was navy. Buzz is wearing the shirt as if it were black though. |
| 3:21
| There was a guy on hold who wanted to recommend a salt water pool for Steve. Steve likes chlorine though, he likes the smell, he likes ruining the ozone layer and he doesn't want to deal with maintaining a salt water pool. |
| 3:22
| Caller Jim had the same thing happen to him with a Cubs sleeveless jersey his wife bought him. Chlorine is the silent killer, you can't even tell that it's stained with bleach until much later. |
| 3:23
| Steve shouldn't even be dealing with chlorine because he has a pool service. He doesn't mind doing it though but he should probably do it nude so he only gets chlorine burns on his skin. He'd rather have his skin burned than his shorts ruined. |
| 3:24
| The stain is driving Steve crazy now, he wants to take his shorts off. He couldn't have a more sympathetic ear with Buzz though. This kind of thing can ruin a day. |
| 3:25
| Steve's shorts are actually in a knot about the stain on his shorts. |
| 3:29
| Steve's shorts are completely unsalvageable. It's unfortunate that he has to keep wearing them because he doesn't have a change of shorts. It's a constant reminder of what happened. |
| 3:30
| Caller Laura is sorry to hear about Steve's pants. She doesn't want to completely absolve the pool guy but hot weather makes the chlorine evaporate faster. |
| 3:31
| All that means is that the pool guy should have anticipated hot weather and put more chlorine in there. |
| 3:32
| Steve's really irritated with himself because he should have been nude. He always cleans the pool nude. |
| 3:33
| Just an FYI for Brendan, he'll have to go pretty far to find someone who knows more about pools than Steve. He should keep that in mind as he's screening calls. |
| 3:34
| It's not like this is Steve's first day with a pool. As a youth he was fascinated with pools and he understands completely how they work. Steve even cleaned pools as a kid. In all the porno movies the pool guy always gets laid. That's not how it happens in real life though. Steve didn't have the abs for it. |
| 3:35
| Buzz was recently reading Men's Health and there was a poll in there about a man's most admired body part by women. The top answer was abs. |
| 3:36
| Apparently Buzz has abs although Steve has never seen them. Troy from Balance for Life seemed very threatened by Buzz's abs though. |
| 3:37
| Steve might be breaking up with Troy from Balance for Life. He doesn't like when Steve pre-records commercials before a hiatus because he says they're not different. Every one Steve does is different though. |
| 3:38
| Did Brendan hear Steve about the swimming pool stuff? Because he doesn't respond any more. Is he saving himself for his show? |
| 3:39
| Steve probably isn't going to take calls about the difference between blue and black. Someone suggested writing the color on the inside tag. Why doesn't Steve just get Garanimals? |
| 3:43
| On the phone is Mark Schanowski from Comcast Sportsnet. He's just watching the end of another bad Sox game. The Sox had the bases loaded in the 9th and they couldn't score a run. |
| 3:44
| Pete says that Mark is wrong, the Sox game is still going on. They are losing 4-3. Mark heard a roar in the news room and he thought that meant the game was over. Was he watching the game near Mike Dahl because he's very invested in the Sox. |
| 3:45
| If the Sox do lose Steve is definitely done with them. He said that last week and then some how the Sox got him back in. |
| 3:46
| Mark thinks there's still plenty of time for the Sox. Steve's not buying it. Even Ed Farmer doesn't believe that. He was spouting a company line yesterday but you could tell in his voice that he didn't believe it. |
| 3:47
| The Cubs traded Michael Barrett to the Padres today. The Cubs probably didn't want him going back to The Cell and punching AJ. |
| 3:48
| Apparently the Padres wanted a guy who could actually land a punch. It'll be interesting to see how Greg Maddux reacts to this because last year he didn't want Barrett catching for him last year. |
| 3:49
| Barrett will probably go on to be a great catcher and hit .400 this year. That always happens with the Cubs. Mark doesn't think that'll happen. It always happens though! |
| 3:50
| The Bears are wrapping up their OTAs today and then they have a month off before training camp. Then on Friday the NHL draft from Columbus, Ohio. |
| 3:51
| Kobe Bryant is apparently saying he wants to be traded to the Bulls now. Will he demand his own statue next to Michael's before he comes here? |
| 3:52
| Good news for Mark, the Sox are now down by 2 runs and it's the bottom of the 9th so his prediction will probably come true. |
| 3:53
| Terry Armour is hosting Chicago Tribune Live tonight for the vacationing Dan Jiggetts. |
| 3:54
| Pete didn't exactly unfurl that Mark was wrong in the best way. He just came on the intercom and said "HE'S WRONG!" What does that do for Steve? He's wrong about what? |
| 3:55
| Steve doesn't know if he wants to talk that seriously with sports about anyone, at least until he sees more of his promos on Comcast. |
| 3:56
| Steve has Pete's studio live he should have come on and corrected Mark. When did the rules change? |
| 3:57
| Steve was fine thinking the Sox had already lost, now he's been dragged back in with the false hope that Alex Cintron can actually do something. |
| 3:58
| Steve needs to start seeing more promos of him and Buzz on Comcast though. Someone from Comcast is on this station everyday but the only time Steve and Buzz's promos on there are at 3:00 AM. |
| 3:59
| Well there ya go, Alex Cintron fouled out. Way to go! Paul Konerko is up next but the Sox are down by 2 so he'll need 2 more guys unless he can hit some sort of double home run. |
| 4:00
| Steve was fine thinking that the Sox had lost but then Mr. Cub had to say something. How does Pete feel about the Barrett trade? |
| 4:01
| That's what made Steve real mad, Mark disagreed that Barrett wouldn't go out to San Diego and be a great player. That happens to the Cubs all the time! |
| 4:02
| Yesterday Steve was trying to find a funny song about narcotics and one was recommended to him. He can't believe he forgot about Bananas and Blow by Ween. |
| 4:03
| OK Konerko hit a home run but they're still down by one. What are the odds that AJ will do it too? Steve should probably go to break because you don't want to hear him have a complete meltdown. |
| 4:07
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:08
| President Bush has vetoed a bill that would have eased restrictions on stem cell research. |
| 4:09
| A big shoot out at Walter Reed Medical Center where two security guards got into it. One of them pulled out their gun and fired. What were they fighting about, lunch? |
| 4:10
| British authorities are standing by their decision to knight author Salman Rushdie. Steve read a synopsis of The Satanic Verses, it's about two chicks. |
| 4:11
| Buzz saw someone comparing The Satanic Verses to Monty Python's Life of Brian. It doesn't even seem like that though, it's more like Da Vinci Code. |
| 4:12
| Steve would also like to add that the U.S. used to be at the forefront of science. He doesn't know much about stem cell research but the reason we're the United States is because of a little something called the atom bomb. |
| 4:13
| Also there's NASA and velcro and all that stuff. Of course none of it involved fetuses. |
| 4:14
| In Columbia, South Carolina police are trying to figure out why two naked people fell to their death. Speculation is they were having sex. Duh! What a climax though. |
| 4:15
| A celebration of Juneteenth in Austin, Texas turned ugly yesterday after a car hit and injured a child. A crowd celebrating the holiday turned their anger towards the passenger of the car and eventually pulled him out of the car and beat him to death. |
| 4:16
| Juneteenth is a Texas celebration that marks the anniversary of the announcement of abolition of slavery in Texas. On June 19th, general Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston to announce the abolition of slavery. So do black people celebrate this because of emancipation or do white people celebrate because they got 6 extra months of slavery? |
| 4:20
| Buzz saw another article about a motorist being beaten following a Juneteenth celebration in Milwaukee. So maybe it's also a motorist beat down day? |
| 4:21
| Gordon Granger was a Union general which makes a lot more sense. Texas was still under Confederate control after slavery was abolished. |
| 4:22
| It doesn't seem like Juneteenth should be a motorist beat down day though. The motorist of the day was probably Gordon Granger on horseback. |
| 4:23
| Steve can see why Texas would hold out on the whole slavery thing, they've really far away from everything else and they're crazy. |
| 4:24
| Yesterday Steve was talking about the school principal who was busted for buying crack in his office. He said he was spending $400-600 per day on crack. That didn't make sense until it was later revealed that he was doing a lot of crack with prostitutes in hotel rooms. |
| 4:25
| Steve couldn't think of a funny song about narcotics yesterday. All of the funny drug songs are about pot because pot is funny as we'll see with Bob and Ron later today. |
| 4:26
| Song: Bananas and Blow, Ween |
| 4:29
| Bananas and blow, you can't go wrong with that combination. Actually you can but it has to be extremely fun before it goes wrong. |
| 4:35
| Steve has two things he can do right now. Well actually he has a ton of things he can do because he's Steve Dahl. |
| 4:36
| There are two things he wants to do right now but he can't decide so he'll throw it to Buzz. The first is the wacky phone call made by Tampa Bay Devil Rays outfielder Elijah Dukes to a sports radio station. |
| 4:37
| We also have the cover story of the Sun-Times which is calling to Steve. It's about the Channahon dad and it pictures his sweet Jeep with the flames on the side. |
| 4:38
| The Elijah Dukes phone call is about 12 minutes long so we probably won't hear the whole thing. Maybe we could just do the highlights during sports. |
| 4:39
| Bob and Ron are also coming up, plus the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve promised Drew an encharito earlier but then he remembered this is his last chance to have an Extreme Cheese and Beef quesadilla on the air. |
| 4:40
| Maybe Steve will invite Drew down here to share one with him. With food in his mouth Drew might talk less but probably not. Drew, like a lot of Jewish guys that Steve knows, has no problem talking with food in his mouth. It's not funny when Drew does it though. |
| 4:41
| The thing that's drawing Steve to the Sun-Times article is that the dad has had to go get his Jeep with the flames painted on the side. He doesn't look that upset either. Buzz is wondering why that's on the cover of the Sun-Times. Steve is starting to like the Sun-Times again. |
| 4:42
| Steve is also writing an article for the Tribune about fireworks but he doesn't want to do too much research so he has a few questions for the general public. Specifically Steve wants to know the exact fireworks laws for Illinois and Indiana. |
| 4:43
| Christopher Vaughn has returned to MIssouri to bury his family but the case has taken a bizarre twist after authorities viewed a Law & Order episode about a family that was killed on a trip. |
| 4:44
| Christopher's parents and in-laws are asking for privacy in a case that has become "as mysterious as it is sad." That's a good line. |
| 4:45
| Caller Matt wanted to let Steve know that the State of Illinois and city of Chicago websites have all the fireworks laws on there. He can also find Indiana laws on their websites. |
| 4:46
| Is that going to be in layman's terms or will Steve need a lawyer? There's too much stuff on there, could Matt compile all of it and send it to Steve? |
| 4:47
| Does Brendan get the concept that Steve doesn't want to do any work? He's already doing enough work taking these calls. He also doesn't care that the ATF has a number to call. Why would he want to call them? |
| 4:48
| Caller Josh wanted to let Steve know about the ATF number. Why would he call them? Maybe after he could call the FBI and then the IRS to make sure they got his tax return. Then he'll call the FCC! |
| 4:49
| Caller Tony is a longtime listener. It's only been since 2:00 but today it really seems like forever. Tony Googled "fireworks laws" and the second entry gives you all 50 states and then you can click on each state. |
| 4:50
| That's exactly what Steve is looking for! And it's put out by the fine people at Phantom Fireworks, they know what they're talking about. Tony's getting double the prize! |
| 4:51
| That was perfect listening on Tony's part. It wasn't some fake thing about the State of Illinois website. Steve can easily crank out 800 words with this info and he can keep all his good fireworks jokes, which is all he cares about. |
| 4:52
| OK back to the Channahon dude. Last week as the family was traveling from Oswego to a water park in Springfield Vaughn pulled off I-55 to adjust the families car top carrier. |
| 4:53
| As he got back into the car his wife shot him in the thigh and then he ran off. Steve doesn't think she was aiming for his thigh. He can see why maybe you'd run away because you don't want your willy shot off. |
| 4:54
| Police have said that someone in the car was responsible for the shooting but haven't said that Christopher Vaughn is a suspect. |
| 4:55
| A number of family members have said that Kimberly Vaughn wasn't capable of killing her children. People always say that though. Other people have also said Christopher wasn't capable of it either. |
| 4:56
| After the break, more on the Law & Order SVU episode that police viewed containing a storyline similar to the shooting. Buzz is only sorry he hasn't watched more SVU episodes. |
| 5:03
| Steve was told by the lurking engineer today that there's only one in-house dialer. So when you try to call another extension you have to wait in a queue. That sounds like someone trying to cut corners. |
| 5:04
| The guy suggested that Steve just wait a moment before dialing which actually seems like a good solution. |
| 5:05
| Mark has also compiled a compendium of state fireworks laws for Steve's article. That should be in the paper next Thursday. Fireworks are a vice right? |
| 5:06
| Buzz just came across 3 sparklers in his kitchen the other day which was very exciting. Those sparklers can become very hot, like 1800º. Buzz just stuck them in the ground and let them burn, Piper couldn't have been more excited. |
| 5:07
| Steve calls Drew's office for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. He'll be right down for the quesadilla! If he's not here by the time the music ends he doesn't get any food. |
| 5:08
| Drew is here but he was temporarily detained by Bob and Ron. They were hoping to get Drew's quesadilla. Don't they know that's not on the air? They're doing a bit that's not on the air. |
| 5:09
| Steve calls down to the news room so Jim can put one of those idiots on the air. Ron is on the air, what the hell are those two idiots doing down there? They're doing bits for the refrigerator. |
| 5:10
| Drew wanted to break the 20 minute rule and tell Steve that yesterday, Juneteenth, was his birthday. At least Drew's asking to break the 20 minute rule. |
| 5:11
| Drew's birthday was yesterday but he didn't get a $500 cake from Dan. That's weird because Dan loves birthday cakes. He might be trying to pull a Mitch Rosen and get Drew's job. |
| 5:12
| Drew was wondering if he's good at talking with his mouthful or bad. Steve just said that a lot of Jewish men he knows-Drew, Jeff Schwartz, Ron Lewis-all talk with food in their mouth. Steve has a few theories about why they do it. |
| 5:13
| Steve feels it's a way to control the conversation or some sort of passive-aggressive guy thing. Drew's wife doesn't let him go to Taco Bell so he lashes out at the dinner table. |
| 5:14
| Steve likes Drew though right? He's got to be better than some of the past program directors. He was better than Gehrig right? |
| 5:15
| Steve is not getting the signal from Mary to ring the bell and end the segment. She's probably right because Drew is sitting here wanting to go over past program directors. |
| 5:19
| Live read: Illinois Lottery |
| 5:20
| Steve purchased 5 Millionaire tickets which means he has a 1 in 200 chance of winning $1000. If he buys 5 more his odds will be 1 in 40. Bob thinks he could retire on that. |
| 5:21
| Bob and Ron aren't on yet, did they hear their music? Steve has been told that Bob and Ron seem extremely high today. They were trying to stop Drew in the hallway as he was coming to get his quesadilla. They were doing a hallway bit for Jim. |
| 5:22
| Bob and Ron are here and there's a lot of rock history this week. They have a list of 20 songs to play even though they'll only play one. Everyone on the list has a birthday this week so they couldn't decide. Bob and Ron will rattle off all the names and leave it up to Steve to pick a song because he is their mentor and tormentor. |
| 5:23
| Steve was going to go with number 15 but it might be too obscure. That was actually Bob's choice which is sort of scary. Steve's going to download a Todd Rundgren and if that happens first he'll play that one. |
| 5:24
| This week we celebrate the birthday of Paul McCartney and Al Wilson of Canned Heat-the blind owl. Steve's Al Wilson is right on! It's also Spanky McFarland's birthday of Our Gang and Nick Drake's birthday. |
| 5:25
| Nick Drake is a guy who's records started selling after his music was in a VW commercial. Steve just saw the Wilco/VW commercial and it sounds like John Cusack is doing the voiceover. |
| 5:26
| It's also Brian Wilson and Ray Davies birthday this week. It's Nils Lofgren's birthday which is who Steve wanted to go with this week. |
| 5:27
| Steve is downloading a Todd Rundgren son but it might be one that only he likes. Let's go with that one though. |
| 5:28
| Steve accidentally downloaded the entire Todd Rundgren album. He did just learn that if there's a song on the album that you want first you can move it up in the download queue. |
| 5:29
| Bob was wondering if there was a discount for buying the whole album. It's only $1! Does Ina-Goda-Da-Vida only cost $1 too? |
| 5:30
| Song: Baby Let's Swing/The Last Thing You Said/Don't Tie My Hands, Todd Rundgren |
| 5:36
| That's a good tune right there. That's why Steve is Bob and Ron's mentor bitches! |
| 5:37
| Steve had an idea for a TV show for Bob and Ron but he's decided it's actually a good one so he'll talk to them off the air. |
| 5:38
| Caller Karen can't believe that Bob and Ron forgot it was John Taylor's birthday, of Duran Duran. How could they forget Duran Duran? |
| 5:39
| Steve wants to play a Nils Lofgren song too. He was in Neil Young's Crazy Horse. Ron points out that he was also in Grin. Steve's got the wheel on this one! |
| 5:40
| Nils was also in Bruce Springsteen's band, he's the little guy playing guitar who's not Little Steven. This is a song he wrote about Keith Richards after his almost-overdose/drug bust in Canada. |
| 5:41
| Song: Keith Don't Go (Ode to the Glimmer Twin), Nils Lofgren |
| 5:46
| Steve likes to do things in threes so he has one more song to play. It ties in because it's Crazy Horse. He needs to take a break first though. |
| 5:51
| You can't go wrong with Todd Rundgren humor on 30 Rock. When Bob and Ron first saw that episode they thought they were the only people who would find it funny. |
| 5:52
| The final song Steve will play is one of his all-time favorites and he doesn't get to play it often. This is Crazy Horse with Danny Whiten on lead vocals, he's the one who Neil Young wrote Needle and the Damage Done about. |
| 5:53
| Song: Gone Dead Train, Crazy Horse |
| 5:56
| Crazy Horse went on to be the opening and backing band for Neil Young, just like The Nadas. Danny Whiten went on to a heroin overdose, hopefully that doesn't happen to The Nadas. |
| 6:03
| Unbelievable! Steve was warned 30 times during the last 10 minutes to not cue up the regular sports music. He was just sitting back waiting to show everyone how together he was. Steve was warned to not have the wrong music like last week and was insulted by that warning. Then he had the wrong music. |
| 6:04
| Ben Gay is here and he's embarrassed! How hard is it to play the right music? It's so unprofessional and wrong and stupid! |
| 6:05
| Ben is wearing his mesh tank top with fur hot pants. It's faux fur of course. |
| 6:06
| The White Sox lost to the Marlins 5-4 at U.S. Cellular today, Bobby Jenks gave up a 3-run home run in the 8th inning. Their season is over. |
| 6:07
| The Cubs traded embattled catcher Michael Barrett and cash to the San Diego Padres for back-up catcher Rob Bowen and minor league outfielder Kuyler Burke. Buzz likes that name. |
| 6:08
| If Ben were Michael Barrett he'd be a little dejected by that trade. Plus he's got to go out and catch for Greg Maddux. |
| 6:09
| The Cubs take on the Rangers tonight. They won last night in a somewhat exciting fashion but Ben can't remember what it is. Sammy Sosa went 0 for 4 including 3 strikeouts. |
| 6:10
| Aramis Ramirez was able to take batting practice and field at third base today, the first time since he hurt his knee. The Cubs really do themselves a disservice by releasing that kind of information. |
| 6:11
| Why don't they just say he was working out with the team? You never hear other teams do that. |
| 6:12
| He is supposed to be activated from the DL this Friday, why don't they just say that? |
| 6:13
| Adam "Pacman" Jones is being charged with two counts of coercion following an incident at a Vegas strip club last winter. |
| 6:14
| Brian Urlacher spent Monday afternoon playing in a softball game against a team created by Michael Jordan. |
| 6:15
| Troubled Devil Rays rookie Elijah Dukes called into a Tampa radio station to defend himself. As you can imagine it didn't go well. |
| 6:16
| He sort of sounds like our own Pete with the stuttering. Has Pete ever knocked up a foster cousin? Has he ever knocked up a real cousin? |
| 6:17
| Does Pete want Ben to be his Uncle Ben? |
| 6:22
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 6:23
| God help Buzz but he loves the Townstone live reads. Steve does too and he doesn't know why. He just recorded 10 for the hiatus, Buzz could take a CD home with him. |
| 6:24
| Steve read one today about someone named Rod and he thought it was our own Rod Zimmerman. There aren't too many people named Rod though. Buzz loved actor Rod Taylor. We might have to cut Buzz's movie references off at 1980 |
| 6:25
| It seems like a lot of these live reads are confusing on purpose so David is forced to call in. When Steve was recording them for the hiatus he just kept reading and it didn't matter. |
| 6:26
| News with Buzz |
| 6:27
| Democrats are speaking out against today's stem cell bill veto by President Bush. Every time Buzz says Harry Reid Steve thinks he's going to say Harry Reams. |
| 6:28
| Before Steve goes on he just wanted to go back to something from earlier in the show. Mark Schanowski was on and he incorrectly reported that the Sox had lost but it was only the 8th inning. The Sox did go on to lose but Pete came in really loud on the intercom and told Steve that Mark was wrong. |
| 6:29
| Then Steve had to coax Pete out of his little hole and get him to talk on the air. Then things just went downhill from there in the conversation. After that Steve called Mark a tool and then got mad because the promos with him and Buzz aren't on Comcast enough. Those are just the normal things Steve does when he's mad. |
| 6:30
| Steve likes Mark but he's one of those guys who can only talk sports. Word got back to Steve that Mark felt bad about what happened and now Steve is going on hiatus so he was going to have him on before the show ended. |
| 6:31
| Steve didn't mean to say that Mark was a tool. He just doesn't really talk about anything except sports. Meanwhile Chuck Garfein is on talking about whatever and Pat Boyle loves sausages. |
| 6:32
| Really it's Pete who had to rub it in that the Sox hadn't lost yet. So Steve had to experience them losing twice today. Maybe Pete should take Ski to one of the Sox games this weekend. |
| 6:33
| Pete is going to the Cubs/Sox game on Saturday with the lovely and talented Stephanie and Tina and then on Sunday with tickets that Steve gave him. Hey! Steve's a great guy! Who's going on Sunday? Pete hasn't determined who he'll take to the game on Sunday. Is that a warning or an enticement? If you want to see two games you have to pay the price and that's probably steep. There are probably marks left. |
| 6:39
| Michael Barrett's going to San Diego. What's the best city in the world Buzz Kilman? |
| 6:40
| Back to the news room with Mr. Buzz Kilimanjaro. |
| 6:41
| United Airlines officials are encouraging travelers to check their flight status after a computer glitch caused one-hour flight delays at O'Hare today. |
| 6:42
| A transatlantic flight because infamous for another reason, not because someone joined the mile high club. |
| 6:43
| Passengers were forced to stay in their seats as gallons for sewage flowed through the aisles from backed-up toilets. |
| 6:44
| Steve never got to the Law & Order SVU part of the Channahon dad story. He didn't want to leave any loose ends before the hiatus. |
| 6:45
| Pete played a drop from the episode but the basic plot is that a mom and two kids are killed in a car and everyone thinks she did it. Turns out the dad did it. It seems weird that the police would be looking at that episode though, unless it's on Christopher Vaughn's TiVo. |
| 6:46
| The body of a man who's been missing for 5 years has been found. His body was discovered frozen in a tub in a bait shop in Galway, Ireland. |
| 6:47
| The Ponytail Bandit has cracked the FBI's top ten most wanted list. One official believes that there is a guy who is putting her up to this. That's sexist. |
| 6:48
| A woman in Maryland lost her appeal to get her pet monkey back. Elyse Gazewitz is devastated by the news. Buzz has her emotional roller coaster on tape. |
| 6:55
| That's another drop from Law & Order SVU. It's ripped from the headlines. That guy does seem like the kind of knucklehead who would get ideas from a TV show. |
| 6:56
| Steve has a couple of tickets to the Cubs at Sox game on Friday. Would Matt and Brendan be interested in going after their appearance? |
| 6:57
| Matt and Brendan will be at Tony's FIner Foods from noon to 2:00 over by dere. What are they giving away, celery? |
| 6:58
| Illinois Lottery will also be there selling Millionaire tickets. Steve bought 5 so he increased his odds of winning at least $1,000 to 1 in 200. |
| 6:59
| Steve is off for two weeks so enjoy the Best of! |
