2:03 Song: Fins, Jimmy Buffett
2:07 Buzz is already having great difficulty. Steve came out prematurely to a big round of applause.
2:08 Buzz was making the frantic hand gestures he makes at every live remote when something is going wrong. Did he get seasick on the boat ride over? Did he spot a dolphin in the lake and jump off the boat?
2:09 Buzz was unable to find a cup of coffee. We're working on that but in the meantime would he like some trucker's speed? Buzz's sunglasses also broke.
2:10 Steve didn't talk to Stan and Terry but not because they're black. The bar is in the middle of the lake which has caused a slight delay. The bar isn't even on land, it's just floating.
2:11 Buzz is wondering why there's a bloody shark in the bar. That's for Landshark Lager. It's not blood either, it's just cocktail sauce.
2:12 This is Steve's least favorite part of any live remote, Ed Silha taking hundreds of pictures of him right off the bat. Is Steve going to look any different in 45 minutes?
2:13 Steve just heard some audible groans as if someone killed a puppy. Someone spilled a beer.
2:14 So Buzz is without sunglasses but Steve wouldn't mind taking his off. It's a little overcast for sunglasses but Steve likes having them when Buzz doesn't.
2:15 The Larkin & Moran Brothers are here today and it finally ties in because Blarney Island is an Irish bar. All last summer at the beach broadcasts Steve didn't get why they were there.
2:16 All this week people were emailing Steve begging him to save them a dock space but there's plenty of room so far. If Steve were younger and single and still drinking he'd be up here with a boat that had a cabin. Although maybe it's more fun to just do it out in the open.
2:17 Steve and Buzz have a boat with a cabin though. The gentleman from Bald Knob Marina is moving the boat to the back of the bar so Steve and Buzz can get to it easier.
2:18 If you know where Grass Lake is you should come out today but if you don't you might not want to. Steve's never been to Grass Lake although he has apparently played shows with Teenage Radiation in the area. He had no idea there were lakes nearby.
2:19 It took Steve forever to get up to Grass Lake because he's driving under the supervision of Whiteside County. He left at 11:30 this morning. He came up on 294 and passed by Great America, then Gurnee Mills which is huge and tempting.
2:20 Are people really going to quibble about the names of the roads Steve took to get up here? If so it's going to be a long afternoon.
2:21 It looks like one of the waitresses is crippled but she's riding a motorized beer cooler. If there was a crippled waitress that would be the perfect thing for her. She'd probably do better business too.
2:26 Buzz just saw something relatively spectacular, Drew Hayes and Ron Lewis embracing. They almost became one entity. They almost are one entity. They're both dressed similarly in inappropriately skimpy outfits.
2:27 Drew looks like Ron's younger, hotter brother which is probably why he likes to hang with him.
2:28 Just because someone mentions Drew doesn't mean we want him on mic. It's always disquieting to see Drew and Ron in their casual clothing. Ron does not look good in a mesh tank top and cut-offs.
2:29 Just before Buzz left today he got an email from Ron who told him if he brings his will he could look over it and recommend a good lawyer. Everyone at the broadcast could be a witness.
2:30 So Steve got to the broadcast a little early and had some lunch. He also took a photo with the dude wearing the jester hat and the creepy Eyes Wide Shut mask. He's not even paying attention now.
2:31 There were a few girls in the photo as well and they said they didn't want to bother Steve with the picture. But then they demanded that he come on their boat which is really far away.
2:32 Steve doesn't think these girls are going to make it until 7:00, they have to pace themselves. Steve should probably go talk to these girls because they're yelling and he can't hear them.
2:33 Who's on the controls today, Jim or Pete? Whoever it is should be ready just in case. Steve can't tell who just said something since Jim and Pete sound exactly the same to him. They only say about 10 words each to him everyday.
2:34 Listener Laurie offers Steve some beads. She doesn't really want to see his breasts does she? Steve doesn't like wearing beads anyway.
2:35 How did a kid get on Blarney Island? Someone get him out of here. Jeffrey is 5 years old. How did he get out here? Does he have his own boat?
2:36 Steve's going to get away from Laurie and her friends because they'll never stop talking. You'd think with all the beads Laurie has she's been flashing breasts all day but Steve hasn't seen anything like that. We'll have to change that although it probably just changes on it's own.
2:37 Steve is pretty sure that Blarney Island isn't in any sort of jurisdiction. As he's saying this a police boat will probably pull up though.
2:38 Blarney Island is under the jurisdiction of Lake County. Steve will try to stay out of trouble since he's under police supervision. It seems unfair that he's under supervision in the entire state though. Does Buzz really care that Steve was speeding through Whiteside County?
2:39 Driving at the speed limit is the most boring thing in the world but Steve is an all or nothing kind of guy. He'd like to get through this supervision without another ticket.
2:43 Steve sees that Adam is attending to Buzz. He's got a cheeseburger and some coffee and Steve has taken off his sunglasses too.
2:44 Steve was looking at the Google map of the area and there are a ton of lakes up here. That's why they call it the Chain O' Lakes. How does Steve get his boat up here? They should build canal through Waukegan and donkeys could pull the boats through.
2:45 Drew almost missed the ferry to Blarney Island. He pulled up in a huge white limo. Buzz thought it was Steve at first but Steve doesn't rid in anything bigger than a 6 passenger and he doesn't do white. Is he getting married or going to the prom? No.
2:46 Why does a Drew Hayes need a limo? This is one of those times when Steve would like to talk to Drew. And just so Pete knows, be ready with the dump button in case things get crazy. And it won't be a bad crazy either, it'll be someone saying something like "hey want to go on my boat and (blank)" but still we can't air that.
2:47 We've lost Drew to some French bread and spinach dip which is really hard to find on the outside. Ron is also digging in, it's like a bar mitzvah to them.
2:48 And Jill from promotions has a nice Back to the Beach beer koozie, if you'll pardon the expression. These live remotes always have a lot of tchotchkes. Why don't they just give that money to Steve and Buzz?
2:49 Buzz got up to Antioch in a town car. Why didn't Drew and Buzz come up together? They're driving back together, possibly in the white limo. Hopefully Drew bought Buzz a corsage.
2:50 There's also a nice beach bag, a keychains, a t-shirt and 2 tickets for tomorrow's show. That's included with the VIP passes along with the bread cubes and spinach dip.
2:51 There's also a nice Steve Dahl pie-cutter, in case you want to give a girl the spatula/Aunt Jemima treatment. The floating keychain is a good idea. You think if you're on a boat that you wouldn't drop your keys in the water but it happens a lot. Many times Steve has been saved by the floating keychain.
2:52 Matt Dahl once dropped Steve's keys in the water but wouldn't admit it. Then Steve conducted a full-scale, three month search to find the keys. He even accused Janet's sister and her husband of using them.
2:53 It's really expensive to rekey your boat too. The search kept coming back to Steve having done something to lose the keys. Then he became convinced he lost them.
2:54 Once they got the new keys Matt admitted that he dropped the keys in the harbor. It's not like Steve would have been any more or less mad if Matt had told him right away. It would have saved him a lot of time blaming other people or himself.
2:55 Matt and his buddy were pulling the boat in, hot dogging it and tossing the keys to each other. Then they went into the water.
2:56 No one used the boat for the three months that the keys were missing and everyone kept blaming Steve because he's the knucklehead. At some point it became a personal mission for Steve to find them.
2:57 It's like last week when Matt's iPhone broke. He was outraged that the screen had cracked after only a few days. It wasn't until after he got a new one that he admitted to being at a strip club where a dancer giving him a lap dance broke the screen.
2:58 Live read: Arby's
3:01 Joining Steve and Buzz is Rob, managing partner of Blarney Island. Rob can't believe Steve has never been out to Blarney Island until now. Steve never even knew this place existed until recently.
3:02 Steve found someone's driver's license but it's going to cost him to get it back. Steve has Gennaro Cantu's license. Now the guy is looking in his wallet like Steve is making it up. You know, that bit he does where he pretends he has someone's license but really doesn't.
3:03 Steve was probably better off not knowing Blarney Island existed during his drinking days, he probably would have drowned.
3:04 Rob lives in Key West in the winter hopping from one island to the other. That doesn't sound too bad.
3:05 Steve was talking to one of the Landshark Lager guys and he said Rob does a yearly trip in Key West every February. Steve and Buzz want to broadcast from there.
3:06 Buzz has noticed that Blarney Island looks a lot like Key West. A few years ago the bar was annexed by the Conch Republic so this is now their northernmost outpost. Rob's even in the Conch Republic navy.
3:07 Steve has a condo in Florida but it's not as far south as the Keys. Steve once flew from Lauderdale to the Keys to be on with Johnny B.
3:08 On the way back Steve had a great burger at the airport and then got on the plane with Tiny Tim who was also on Johnny's show.
3:09 Tiny Tim was wearing a cardigan sweater that he'd had on all week. It was hot and he was sweating and he smelled awful. Then the plane started having trouble and Steve thought they'd go down and he wouldn't be in the headline.
3:10 Steve flew all the way down to the Keys and Johnny only let him on the show for 5 minutes.
3:16 Steve is returning from using the bathroom on the boat. He'll have to go back and flush the toilet because he can't figure out which button it was. Steve could probably ask someone to go back and do it but he doesn't feel right about that.
3:17 The guy from Bald Knob could tell Steve didn't flush because he didn't hear the mechanism. Steve didn't want to hit the wrong button and accidentally drop the bottom out.
3:18 As Steve was coming back he saw a boat load of revelers coming in from the Port of Blarney.
3:19 Blarney Island has been on the lake since 1901. Back then they were running gambling houses and prostitution houses. A lot of people were shooting at each other.
3:20 Two gamblers played poker for Blarney Island and Shorty Shobin lost. He didn't take it well either. He got up from the table and blew his brains out according to legend.
3:21 There is land underneath Blarney Island along with 30 acres of lakefront property.
3:22 Blarney Island is a pretty unusual place. They're the only bar of it's kind in the entire country and it's the last thing left of the old Chain O' Lakes.
3:23 The Chain gets fed from the Fox River which goes all the way down to Algonquin. That's the furthest you can go by boat.
3:24 Tomorrow will probably be the busiest day in the bar's history for their Blarney Gras celebration.
3:25 The bar is open until 2:00 AM during the summer. No one drinks and boats though, there are designated boaters.
3:33 We can't talk to anyone from Comcast today because there's too much of a delay. It's sort of like when a reporter is in Iraq. There's something going on in the bar, some sort of t-shirt giveaway.
3:34 The Sox are on Comcast tonight, taking on the Baltimore Orioles. The Sox won last night but just barely.
3:35 The Sox dominated the entire game but the bullpen almost blew it in the 9th. They've got to do something about that Boon Logan guy.
3:36 Buzz wants someone to stop all the t-shirt stuff. Someone asked Steve if it was OK and he said it was. If they ask them to stop now they'll look like buzzkills.
3:37 The last time Pete checked the Cubs were up 4-0. He can't watch the game because of the whole situation with the cable in the building.
3:38 Mark Cuban has officially declared his intention to buy the Cubs. Steve likes Mark Cuban, that would be interesting. He can't be any worse than the Tribune can he?
3:39 Live read: Famous Dave's
3:40 Steve's ashamed of himself for not knowing about Blarney Island during his drinking days. He probably would have drowned though. He can imagine the news footage with the police boat and the divers with the big hook. Then they find something in a Hawaiian shirt.
3:41 Steve would like to get his boat up here but he'd have to put it on a trailer and get it in the water at night. He can't back up straight with a trailer and during the day there are always people shouting slogans at him to try to help him go straight.
3:46 The Larkin & Moran Brothers are here and none of them are paying attention. Buzz speculates that they've been drinking a lot already. Steve's 2 feet away from them!
3:47 Steve imagines that you have to be hammered to play the kind of music that the band plays without blowing your brains out.
3:48 The Larkin & Moran Brothers need some help on the next song. Now they're talking too much. Steve wants to set this up first.
3:49 The Larkin & Moran Brothers were with us last year for the beach broadcast trilogy. Steve never understood why we didn't get a more tropical band, even though Ireland is an island.
3:50 As it turns out Blarney Island is the perfect place for the Larkin & Moran Brothers. The band is now going out into the audience to get hot chicks on stage under Steve's auspices. Not that he minds since he's sitting behind them.
3:51 What song is the band going to do, not that any song sounds different than the next one.
3:52 Song: Whiskey in a Jar, Larkin & Moran Brothers
3:55 The best part of that song for Steve was the listeners dancing on stage. The band sure knows how to shake it though.
3:56 Joining Steve and Buzz is Adam from promotions. We're giving away tickets to a Jimmy Buffett show at Alpine Valley.
3:57 We're giving away 4 four-packs of tickets. Adam was thinking one pack per hour. We've been on the air for 2 hours already though.
3:58 These tickets are for the July 28th show at Alpine Valley. Let's do the first one down. Price Waterhouse is monitoring the drawing as Adam pulls the piece of paper out and hands it to Steve.
3:59 The winner checked the box allowing WCKG to contact him about promotions and events but didn't leave his email address, very clever. He did leave his phone number so Adam will have to call him.
4:00 The winner doesn't have to be present which takes some of the excitement out of the contest.
4:01 Steve hasn't smelled the Landshark Lager yet. He doesn't drink any more, or any less, but he does like to smell stuff till. He can usually discern the quality from the smell.
4:02 Someone handed Steve a bottle. It's a great-looking bottle and it smells very good. It's very hoppy.
4:03 Buzz has taken the bottle and put it to the side for himself.
4:04 Headlines with Buzz
4:05 Conrad Black has been found guilty on four charges. His lawyer plans to appeal the verdict.
4:06 Steve doesn't really care about David Beckham. It's a big story and he's been hearing about it for a year and he's just getting here now?
4:07 The last time Steve saw David Beckham he was crying after losing the World Cup. Steve was watching soccer the other night because Pat Dahl had it on. It was a big deal to him that the US team had made it this far in the FIFA tournament.
4:08 Steve doesn't really understand the rules of soccer but it seems like all the players are wusses. They're always rolling around on the field and then being carted off on a stretcher like it's a cartoon. The worst part is when there's a girl holding one corner of the stretcher. Steve wouldn't play a sport like that.
4:09 Five minutes after they get hauled off the field they come back into the game. Another thing Steve doesn't like is that only the refs know how much time is left.
4:10 Cheap U.S. beef went on sale for the first time in South Korea in 4 years. Local beef distributors protestors and dogs everywhere breathed a sigh of relief.
4:11 Paris Hilton's stay in an L.A. County jail is under investigation after it was revealed that she may have received special treatment including access to a cellphone and hand delivered mail.
4:12 The city now says that 126 people have become sick after eating food from a booth at Taste of Chicago. That's what you get for eating hummus at the Taste of Chicago!
4:13 That's a bad place to get food poisoning because it's all portable toilets. How do they get hummus on a stick anyway?
4:14 Lisa Madigan's office says that tubes of tainted toothpaste have been found in dollar stores in Illinois. Why would you buy toothpaste with Chinese lettering on it?
4:15 Nazis in the news. Just when you think they're gone, a reward of $69,000 is being offered by Austrian officials for information leading the arrest of two war criminals. As soon as Steve gets off this island he's going to start looking.
4:21 Buzz has just seen something so remarkable and personally stunning. There are cookies with his picture on them! It goes beyond Buzz's wildest dreams.
4:22 There are cookies with Steve on them as well as Steve and Buzz. They're from the Lovin' Oven Bakery. Buzz will be taking his home and hermetically sealing it.
4:23 Buzz doesn't normally drink at the broadcasts but he will drink on stage. Technically he and Steve are on a stage.
4:24 Steve always started drinking at 5:00 in whatever time zone he was in. He didn't do that "it's five o'clock somewhere" thing either. Although in Hawaii he would start drinking at 5:00 PM central.
4:25 Song: Boat Drinks, Jimmy Buffett
4:28 Song: Aloha Friday, Steve Dahl & the Dahlfins
4:31 Song: Cheeseburger in Paradise, Jimmy Buffett
4:42 That sounded like a live version of Aloha Friday and the crowd goes wild. We had some sort of technical difficulties so the folks at home enjoyed a few songs.
4:43 Steve was notified that we were off the air so he went back to the boat. The boat is fantastic by the way. Steve was told by the guy at Bald Knob Marina that Buzz had been on the boat and flushed the toilet.
4:44 Blarney Island is in the middle of a lake about a mile offshore so there are going to be some technical difficulties.
4:45 Right before the technical difficulties Steve mentioned that everyone in attendance was being deprived of seeing David Hochberg in a mesh tank top. He's currently in Croatia with Eric and Kathy.
4:46 David is cheating on Steve, getting ready to advertise on Eric and Kathy's show. Steve and Buzz don't do three-ways though.
4:47 Steve assumes there will be another technical difficulty at some point but he doesn't even mind. He was just sitting on the boat trying to figure out how much he gets paid for being here even if he's not on the air.
4:48 Mark Zarang is now walking around doing that thing he does after every technical difficulty, talking to people on the phone and trying to turn back the hands of time like Superman.
4:49 Steve wants to talk to the Bald Knob Marina guy, at the very least to find out how he got the name for the place.
4:50 There was a woman yelling at Steve from Salsa de Linda trying to get a plug in. Everyday a new sponsor is being added.
4:51 There's a whole salsa booth set up but you have to muscle Drew Hayes out of the way to get to it.
4:56 Today is the first in a series of three beach broadcasts. Steve knows where the other 2 are and he feels they're all going to be fun.
4:57 Last summer the Larking & Moran Brothers were at all three broadcast. It annoyed Steve every time they showed up because it didn't fit in with the Aloha Friday theme.
4:58 Steve does like the Larkin & Moran Brothers but only on St. Patrick's day. But today we're on Blarney Island, that's their island!
4:59 The band should think about playing up here more often, it's right up there alley. Buzz doesn't think they'll ever leave.
5:00 Live read: Cheeseburger in Paradise
5:01 Buzz was so taken by the ribs and key lime pie from Cheeseburger in Paradise that he the food home with him and left his computer at the station.
5:02 The Larkin & Moran Brother's next gig is at the Irish Heritage Center, surprise surprise. What is that place anyway, a bar? Steve can say that because he's Irish.
5:03 The band is also going on a trip to Ireland with their fans, it's called Seven Drunken Nights.
5:04 The band travels around playing gigs in different bars in Ireland. They also visit family members. Their first gig is in one of their relative's living rooms.
5:05 Song: Mermaid, Larkin & Moran Brothers
5:09 Steve loves the tin whistle. It's his favorite instrument next to the harmonica and a pencil being shoved in his ear.
5:10 Joining Steve and Buzz on stage is Jill from promotions to give away another back of Jimmy Buffett tickets. She just learned that the tickets include premier parking at Alpine Valley.
5:11 The winner is a dude again. Steve would like to give some tickets away to a girl just because they get more excited about it. It took the last guy 20 minutes to realize that he'd won.
5:12 So far the winner hasn't come forward. It doesn't seem like anyone has left yet though. It's sort of anticlimactic if the winner doesn't have to be present.
5:13 Jill thinks we can change the contest in the middle. Steve's not sure about the legality of this, let's just put it on Drew.
5:14 Jill thinks she can change the contest herself. Going over Drew's head! Steve knew he didn't really have any power.
5:15 Steve's picking the name this time. It's another dude, Larry Long. Steve remembers him from Hawaii. He's the kite guy who always annoys him.
5:16 Larry is also one of the people who brings the big cup to the all-inclusive resort. Larry's the reason we don't do trips any more. Not really, that's a joke.
5:17 That's Larry the kite guy. Every year he'd be flying the kite holding his big mug and everyone would ask Steve if he saw the kite.
5:21 Buzz is chatting with his bodyguard Chris Wood. He seems like Buzz's bodyguard. They always roll up on a gig together.
5:22 Buzz and Chris travel in the same circles. Chris is bigger than Buzz so by default he could be a bodyguard. Chris actually brought Buzz to the floor by his pinky because he put his arm around the wrong woman.
5:23 Buzz actually has to drive tomorrow because Chris is also under supervision. So Buzz has to drive himself to his own gig, Chris isn't his bodyguard and he could get taken down if he hits on the wrong girl? Buzz might want to rethink his security detail. He's like a battered celebrity protectant.
5:24 Live read: Gierczyk Properties
5:25 This live read sounds like it was actually written by one of the Gierczyk's.
5:26 It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. It's a little late today but that's because the food had to come by land and by sea. There's no Taco Bell on Blarney Island but that's not a bad idea.
5:27 Joining Steve now is Terry, a Taco Bell franchisee. Buzz might have passed by one of his Taco Bells on the way up.
5:28 The best thing about Taco Bell is that you can walk in starving, order a whole bunch of stuff and it barely costs anything.
5:34 Things are getting a little wild at Blarney Island. People talking to Steve are making less and less sense. The women are telling Steve how hot he is so that's how he knows they're drunk.
5:35 Live read: Townstone Financial
5:36 Steve has the Townstone music on his computer but he forgot about it until just now. He's having trouble getting it to play now.
5:37 Here comes Mark Zarang to try to fix the problem. He's look at Steve like he doesn't know what he wants. And then Adam starts fiddling with things.
5:38 Steve has no idea what David is talking about in this live read.
5:39 It looked to Buzz like it was Adam who ultimately fixed the sound problem.
5:40 Steve has another 4 pack of Jimmy Buffett tickets to give away. He's picking a girl this time even if he has to cheat.
5:41 Steve didn't have to cheat, he picked a girl, Trish Spengle. It doesn't seem like she's here though.
5:42 Steve has noticed that the more people drink the more people raise their hands thinking they've won.
5:43 Trish is here actually, she wasn't even paying attention. Adam can let the girls up on stage, just not the dudes.
5:44 Adam isn't even paying attention, he's just staring at the woman's cleavage.
5:45 Trish is the one who just told Steve how hot he is. Does Steve pay off or what?
5:46 Steve is drinking a Monster energy drink which is put out by Budweiser. It only has 20 calories in it. Steve's getting whacked on this stuff. The diet Red Bull is terrible but the regular Red Bull has a ton of calories.
5:47 Diet Red Bull is terrible. Why not just pour gasoline down your throat and get it over with?
5:54 Steve is currently on the boat from Bald Knob Marina. Can Buzz here him? When Steve got out to the boat one of the guys from Bald Knob was giving a tour to some potential buyers.
5:55 Sitting next to Buzz is Bill from Bald Know Marina. He's not sure where the Bald Knob name came from but it's the name of the land that the marina is on. They think the military came up with the name Bald Knob.
5:56 So Steve and Buzz get to keep the boat because of all the plugs right? That's fine with Bill as long as Becky is willing to pay for it. Who's Becky?
5:57 Buzz knows Becky, she's one of the sales girls. It's a really nice boat they've got out here but it's about $400,000. They only want one boat!
5:58 During the technical difficulties Steve went into the cabin on the boat and almost fell asleep. We came back on the air just before Steve nodded off.
5:59 There is some alarm that keeps going off but Steve didn't even care about that, that's how comfortable the boat was.
6:00 That was probably the fume detector. It detects if there's carbon monoxide in the engine room so you know to turn on the blower. What was Steve doing down there?
6:01 Bald Knob also runs a dry dock service which seems perfect for Steve. Docking your boat in the water is such a pain between all the people telling you want to do and all the stuff getting on the bottom of your boat.
6:02 At Bald Knob you just pull your boat up and then they left it out of the water. Do the dock workers hassle you at all or do they tell you lies about what a good job you're doing?
6:03 How's Steve doing on getting down the price of that boat? Are they down to $250,000 yet?
6:04 Steve needs to get these salsa people off his so he'll have to talk to them. There's some guy wearing a sombrero right now. It's Jim from Salsa de Linda He's been on several trips with Steve including Maui and Cozumel.
6:05 Cozumel? Did he go off on a day trip and learn how to be a salsateer? Linda of Salsa de Linda is stuck in traffic. Just so she knows her husband is totally pulling off the sombrero look, he doesn't look like a dork at all.
6:06 Steve only wants salsa from Jim, the other guy trying to serve him does not look hygienic at all.
6:07 Salsa de Linda just came on as a sponsor yesterday. They were just brought on by Blarney Island and introduced him to Jill. What's the station charging him?
6:08 Jim has no idea what the station is charging him, he's supposed to figure that out later. Did Jill just work out a trade for a lifetime supply of salsa?
6:09 People are getting very hammered in the crowd right now, like Steve Dahl hammered. Also, Stony is here, he's a Steve Dahl enabler. Steve saw him and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.
6:10 Steve's going to have some of the salsa but he still doesn't get what's going on . Did Jill cut a side deal? If she did then Steve wants a boat.
6:11 Here comes that unhygienic salsa guy again. A lot of people can't pull off the jean shorts look but he does.
6:12 Jill explains the salsa situation. The station worked out a trade with the salsa people because we needed food for the VIP section. Is the station that cheap? Did they trade for the spinach dip too?
6:13 The salsa is really good but Steve was just curious about the sponsorship deal.
6:14 Here comes that guy with the jean shorts again, he needs to sit down. He looks like Bob Dylan at the beach. It's good salsa though and it's good that Linda is in traffic and not seeing her husband in the sombrero.
6:19 Alright the Larkin & Moran Brothers are here and they're finally where they belong, Blarney Island.
6:20 Everyone in the band is totally hammered. Steve and Buzz are the only ones in the entire bar not hammered.
6:21 Which song will the band be doing three times in a row next? Every single song sounds like it's the same thing repeated three times.
6:22 Song: The Night that Pat Murphy Died, Larkin & Moran Brothers
6:26 One of the brothers is playing a really weird looking drum that sort of looks like a bass guitar. It was really funny to watch Mark Zarang trying to turn the bass down, not knowing what they were playing.
6:27 That's a kick ass drum but it's being played by the dopiest of the Larkin & Moran Brothers. Maybe not dopiest but definitely drunkest.
6:34 How's that Landshark Lager doing? It seems to be getting the job done. If anyone was worried but the formula they shouldn't be any more.
6:35 News with Buzz
6:36 The Dow closed at another record high today. Is Buzz even coming in on Monday? During that last break he wasn't using the bathroom on the boat, he was buying it from Bald Knob Marina.
6:37 Conrad Black was found guilty on 4 counts today and could face decades
6:38 A bull seriously gored two American brothers during the running of the bulls today. The bull had one brother on each horn. That's like a bull juggling act.
6:39 Authorities are looking into allegations by a former employee of Broadcom CEO Henry Nicholas. The former employee alleged in a civil suit that he was required to supply his boss with drugs and prostitutes.
6:40 David Beckham was introduced as the newest member of the LA Galaxy. His wife is Victoria Beckham, formerly Posh Spice of the Spice Girls. Why does anyone care about them?
6:41 Two octogenarians in Philadelphia are fighting for their right to raise their 6-year old grandson.

6:48 Steve has another 4 pack of Jimmy Buffett tickets to give away for the July 28th show at Alpine Valley. According to Jill it also includes a sweet parking pass.
6:49 The first two winners were dudes which Steve didn't like. The third winner was Trish, who had just previously told Steve how hot he looked. She didn't go as crazy as Steve thought she would though.
6:50 Lisa Hlavin is the winner of the next 4 pack of tickets. Is she here? The last girl didn't even know she had won for about 10 minutes. Everyone is drinking very heavily. The same people are still raising their hands pretending they won. It's still as funny as it was 4 hours ago.
6:51 Steve is thinking that Lisa isn't here. It's very anticlimactic to pick a name and then the person isn't here.
6:52 The next winner is here and she recognized her name right away.
6:53 Is there anything else Steve needs to do here? Thanks to Jef Schmidt from Budweiser and Landshark Lager. Also thanks to Rob who owns Blarney Island.
6:54 Steve and Buzz will be going to the Keys with Rob in February hopefully. Rob's an officer in the Conch Republic Navy.
6:55 There's some guy yelling at Steve. He'd like to see the Lake County sheriff pop him as soon as he's off the island. Steve wants to see it from his boat.
