| 2:05
| Barry Bonds' mistress will appear nude in Playboy and also discuss her relationship with the baseball player. |
| 2:06
| It sort of takes away from what she's saying if she's nude on the next page. Also what kind of mistress talks about all that stuff? |
| 2:07
| Steve hears a weird hum in Stan and Terry's studio. Maybe it's just a hum in his head though. |
| 2:08
| Ever since Steve went scuba diving in Hawaii his ears have been messed up and he gets dizzy. |
| 2:09
| Steve did everything right while diving but sometimes you get water in there and it messes you up. He should probably get his ears checked out though. |
| 2:10
| Stan didn't know Steve still went diving. He's always wanted to learn how to dive but it seems like there's a lot to know. |
| 2:11
| Some people are really crazy about diving and bring their own equipment everywhere but you can always rent that stuff anywhere. |
| 2:12
| Terry is wondering if you need to know how to swim in order to scuba dive. It helps, although you fill your vest with air so you can sort of float. |
| 2:13
| The cruel thing about diving is the fatter you are, the more weight you have to strap to yourself in order to sing. Then you let air out of your vest in order to go back up. |
| 2:14
| Steve's good with diving once on a trip. He once went to an island with Pat and Sheri Hammer and all they did for the entire week was dive. Steve left after 2 days because you see the same stuff every time. |
| 2:15
| Stan has a friend who dives a lot but to break up the monotony he goes to the bottom looking for stuff. Most of the places you go diving have been visited by a million people already so what are the odds they missed all the gold doubloons. |
| 2:16
| Steve tends to be the nut job-type who would buy all the diving equipment but he stopped himself at a regulator and a vest. He has two scuba tanks at home so he can go in his pool like in The Graduate. |
| 2:17
| There's a woman on hold who thinks Steve might have an inner-ear infection. Steve's always wanted to get his ear candled like the hippy witches do but then people call in and tell him that people have set their hair on fire doing that. |
| 2:18
| Steve gets swimmer's ear a lot and it doesn't hurt right now. Stan's wondering if maybe Steve has very small ear canals because that is a malady. |
| 2:19
| Stan remembers a trip to Hawaii when Dan Falato got a rock stuck in his ear. He tried Q-tips, wax, and ear candling but eventually he had to go to the doctor. Steve's pretty sure he doesn't have a rock in his ear. |
| 2:20
| Caller Ken is in the air with Stan and Terry & Steve Dahl on 105.9 WCKG, The Package. Ken has some diving questions for Steve. |
| 2:21
| Caller Eric is in the air with Stan and Terry & Steve Dahl on 105.9 WCKG, The Package. Stan has to get that all in or else Drew will start yelling at him. |
| 2:22
| Just for the record, Steve doesn't really care about the Ed O'Neill interview. He's not going to talk to anyone from anywhere. That being said, Bonnie is a bit of a star effer but so is Terry. |
| 2:23
| Eric is a master diver which means he's been through all the various diving courses. That's the highest rank before becoming an instructor. |
| 2:24
| Steve could have been a master diver if he would have kept log books but he's not going to do that every time he goes back to his hotel room. |
| 2:25
| Steve didn't go up to fast or anything so he's not too worried about his ear. He didn't go faster than his bubbles. He still wants to get his ear candled by a hippy witch chick. |
| 2:26
| Eric thinks that maybe Steve has a bed bug in his ear. OK Bed Master. |
| 2:27
| Steve thinks Stan would like diving because of all the crazy rules and gadgets. There's also a military-style hierarchy that he'd enjoy as well. |
| 2:28
| Stan thought you had to dive in fresh and saltwater to become a certified diver, but you don't. Steve has never been diving in freshwater. He's not going diving in a quarry, all he'll see is an old fridge and a dead body. |
| 2:36
| Song: Rehab, Amy Winehouse |
| 2:40
| Ironically, Amy Winehouse may be headed to rehab herself. She had a meltdown last week onstage and her own people couldn't get her off. |
| 2:41
| She was screaming and spitting on people but at least the fan's got their money's worth. Steve is guessing that's party why she wrote the song Rehab. Now she can write a song about going to rehab. |
| 2:42
| Steve's going to read all the TMZ stuff about Lindsay Lohan. Buzz knows she's back in rehab which is what you have to do. The cops won't yank you out unless you've killed someone. |
| 2:43
| Since Lindsay won't be appearing on The Tonight Show tonight, they got the next best thing, Rob Schneider in drag. Schneider agreed to the last minute booking, as if he has anything else to do. |
| 2:44
| Early reports had Lindsay's longtime assistant, Jenni Muro, was involved in the late-night SUV chase and arrest but it was in fact her second assistant. So in Steve's world that would be Stephanie involved in the chase and Mary finding out about it this morning. |
| 2:45
| Technically Mary is the producer and Tina and Stephanie are assistants but Steve doesn't want to assign a rank to them. If he does they'll start catfighting. Steve caught them fighting in the hallway last week over some boxes that needed to be moved. That's why Jim kid needs a camera in his office. |
| 2:51
| Are we on a Simpsons streak right now or was that the first one? Steve can't remember what the first one was. Pete's dream is to one day have an entire show featuring Simpsons drops. |
| 2:52
| That was the first drop of the day but Steve thinks he should go for it today. Pete thought we were going to do that during Lollapalooza. It's like dealing with an autistic kid. |
| 2:53
| Pete thinks there are enough drops from the Hullabalooza episode, but it's not the same as it happening naturally during a normal show. It's like getting a no-hitter in tee ball. |
| 2:54
| Yesterday there was a post on TMZ about Lindsay Lohan with the first line: "Rehab does a Lohan Good, Va Va Voom". Steve's old school so he feels it should be "va va va voom." Lindsay showed off her post-rehab body at the Polaroid Beach House. Steve doesn't know what that is but it sounds good. |
| 2:55
| According to the LA County Sheriff's department Lindsay Lohan was arrested around 2:15 AM this morning. |
| 2:56
| Just last week she was booked for a Memorial Day weekend DUI crash. She faces charges of having a blood alcohol level above .08 and misdemeanor hit and run. Did they drop the cocaine thing? |
| 2:57
| Lindsay turned 21 earlier this month and has been voluntarily been wearing a SCRAM alcohol monitoring device. |
| 2:58
| TMX later updated with more information about today's arrest. She was arrested for cocaine possession and DUI. Her blood alcohol was between .12 and .13, almost double the previous arrest. Kudos to her! |
| 2:59
| Law enforcement got a call after two cars were spotted in a chase. Lindsay was in the case vehicle, a white Denali, going after a Cadillac Escalade. |
| 3:00
| Sounds like she was mad at someone. Buzz heard it was the mother of her second assistant. |
| 3:01
| Steve does have some info about the Polaroid Beach House. It's located on a stretch of Malibu called Billionaire's Beach. The house has become the hottest place for celebrity parties. |
| 3:02
| Celebrities in attendance protect their skin with Dermalogica sunscreen, shampoo their hair with Alterna products and dry off with towels from Amazon.com. |
| 3:03
| Can't celebrities afford their own towels? Why do they need Amazon to provide them? |
| 3:07
| The guy who owns the Falcons is having a press conference about Michael Vick right now. Steve doesn't have his TiVo hooked up so he can't go back. What did the Falcons say they were going to do? |
| 3:08
| Pete doesn't have any of the higher cable channels in his studio which is unacceptable. Steve needs to know what the Falcons are going to do and he needs to call Drew. |
| 3:09
| Steve needs to have ESPN on his TiVo but Drew is working on it. Working on it?! Steve's on the air everyday! |
| 3:10
| Drew personally stood in line for an hour yesterday to get a few new cable boxes. How hard is it to get a cable box?! |
| 3:11
| Why would Drew wait in line for cable boxes? This is the guy we have leading us?! It's Comcast, how hard can it be to get cable boxes? They're the ones who came in here and took all the cable out in the first place. |
| 3:12
| Ed Silha comes in everyday and installs three boxes and then he's all sweaty when he comes out of there and you have to pat him on the head for doing a good job. |
| 3:13
| Someone from Comcast needs to get their sorry asses down here and bring all the cable boxes we need! And they need to send a real work, not one of those sub-contractors who kills and rapes people. If Steve had a baseball bat he'd start smashing stuff right now. |
| 3:14
| Roger Goodell has ordered Michael Vick to stay away from Falcons training camp until the league can review his indictment. Steve knew all of that, is this what the press conference is about? |
| 3:15
| He hasn't been found guilty yet. According the Constitution he's still innocent so he should be able to practice. |
| 3:16
| Steve appreciates Drew waiting in line for cable boxes, he's going to call him back now that he's calmed down. |
| 3:17
| What Drew needs to do is fire someone, that'll send a message. Drew doesn't think it's any of our engineers fault though. Here he goes with the corporate double-speak. |
| 3:18
| It's not right that Drew was standing in line for cable boxes. Comcast is the one who pulled all the cable out of here, it's incumbent on them to come in and fix the problem. Drew needs to call someone at Comcast's corporate offices in Philadelphia. |
| 3:19
| Apparently Steve has Comcast's regional VP on hold. We already had a some Polish guy from Comcast come in and drop off a bunch of cable boxes. He didn't want to listen to Tina or Stephanie because he doesn't want to end up riding around in the back of a van with a vacuum. |
| 3:20
| Drew is wondering where Ed was when the cable guy came in. He's interrupting Steve's Polish hunk right here, it's a tried and true comedy bit. |
| 3:21
| The Polish guys really do have that scam going on. They load up their van with 14 Polish cleaning women and then drop them off at various houses. |
| 3:22
| Can this Comcast guy hold on? Or maybe Brendan should get his number and call him back? This seems like too easy of a solution, how does Brendan know he's from Comcast? |
| 3:23
| So are the Falcons just going to go with Joey Harrington as their QB? That's what they've wanted all along. The Dolphins don't have anyone at QB now do they? |
| 3:24
| Brendan says they traded for Trent Green. So they have nobody. You know who Green's back-up was for a while? The Mighty Quinn. |
| 3:25
| Steve needs to have a TiVo hooked up in the studio though, that should have been the first thing they did. Drew is totally oblivious though. He's a sandwich-eating, corporate shill. Steve appreciates him waiting in line for cable boxes but that's totally inefficient. |
| 3:31
| We did call over to Comcast Sportsnet but they didn't want to comment until they'd digest the entire thing. That's pretty weak, Comcast is falling apart all around Steve. |
| 3:32
| Steve's office is upstairs, on the same floor as WBBM-AM. The other day he got to meet Sherman Kaplan which was very exciting for him. Steve listens to the Noon Business Hour everyday and he learns a lot. |
| 3:33
| Steve saw him the other day on the elevator and then yesterday Sherman actually yelled "Steve Dahl" down the hallway. Steve tried to duck into his office because he didn't know who it was but then saw it was Sherman Kaplan and they talked for a while. |
| 3:34
| Up in Steve's office there are 12 VCRs that tape all the different channels that Pete grabs drops from. Before the crackdown there was a cable line going up there that was split between the 12 VCRs. |
| 3:35
| During the hiatus Comcast went through the downtown area and pulled out all of those split hook ups and only left us with the lifeline package. |
| 3:36
| The cable boxes that were dropped off by Comcast were the basic model so you could only change the channel with a remote. That meant that when Pete tried to change the channel on one they all changed. |
| 3:37
| Steve suggested that we get Comcast DVR boxes so Pete could change the channel manually and so that we'd have a back-up. Then eventually one day he could switch to DVRs and not have all those tapes laying around. |
| 3:43
| Steve can't pay attention to everything but has it been all Simpsons drops today? Pete didn't want to jinx it but so far it has been. |
| 3:44

| 3:45
| Ed Silha is on the phone. He got all the boxes hooked up that Drew waited in line for yesterday but now they're not working. They worked fine last night but now it says they're not authorized. That's Comcastic! |
| 3:46
| The engineer from WBBM-AM has the serial numbers from all the Comcast boxes and he's going to call them personally and get every single box authorized. |
| 3:47
| None of the boxes Drew got are DVRs either. According to John Valenta Comcast doesn't give DVRs to commercial accounts, which doesn't seem like it's true. |
| 3:48
| Steve's had just about enough of this. It's time to call the regional engineer, Sam Cappas, from Cleveland. |
| 3:49
| Steve is very proud of Pete for maintaining his mental health through all of this though. |
| 3:50
| Steve's on everyday from 2-7, he needs to have what he needs to have. He doesn't need much either. |
| 3:57
| On the phone is Pat Boyle from Comcast Sportsnet. Steve needs to do one other quick thing before he talks to him. |
| 3:58
| Steve's trying to make a phone call but he has to wait in the queue. Someone bring him a baseball bat so he can start working on this equipment. |
| 3:59
| Steve calls down to Drew. Can he hear the struggles he's going through? He can't even call the intercom on half the phone. He needs to call Sam in Cleveland and get all this stuff fixed. |
| 4:00
| Drew already talked to Sam, there's nothing he can do. Drew waited in line for the wrong boxes yesterday too, they're not DVRs. Drew doesn't think he waited in line for the wrong boxes. |
| 4:01
| LIsten to Drew, he's going victim on Steve. Does Steve need to wheel Wendy's chair down to his office? |
| 4:02
| Steve's sorry Pat had to hear all of that. Does he have any connections over at Comcast that could help Steve out? |
| 4:03
| The big news today is that the Falcons agreed with the NFL about what to do with Michael Vick. |
| 4:04
| There's no way Drew called Sam Cappas. He did sound broken though. He needs to send a message though, fire someone. He can fire Steve if he wants just send a message! |
| 4:05
| Pat offers Steve a job at Comcast if he gets fired. Rumor has it there might be an opening to host Chicago Tribune Live. Then he can talk to Sam Smith everyday about basketball and sweater vests. |
| 4:06
| Steve calls back to Drew's office to check in on him. Buzz doesn't want to say he sounded suicidal but he sounded down. |
| 4:07
| Drew didn't like being maligned on the air but Buzz did stick up for him. All Steve said was he was a corporate shill, which is true. |
| 4:08
| If Drew's going to be called a shill he at least wants Steve to know he's a shill for the talent too. He might be a talent shill but he's an impotent talent shill. |
| 4:09
| The Sox won the first game of their day/night doubleheader against the Tigers but they're still 16 games back or so. There's a lot of negativity in sports right now. |
| 4:10
| You've got Michael Vick, the NBA ref and Barry Bonds. Bonds' mistress is giving a tell-all interview to Playboy but he already got in trouble for having her as a mistress. All it does for him is tell everyone he was nailing a hot chick. |
| 4:11
| The only good local story right now is the Cubs who are three games behind the Brewers. They're in St. Louis tonight and Derrek Lee is back in the line up. |
| 4:12
| Of course Steve went home and watched the Sox game last night. Everything was going fine until Steve's buddy Bukvich came in. How is that guy still alive? |
| 4:13
| Steve can't call Drew back any more, it's like talking to someone at the Lee Strausberg acting school. It's the many moods of Drew Hayes, hurt, angry, beleaguered, aggressive, go-get-em. Steve needs his stuff to do the show properly though. |
| 4:14
| Anyone who's waited for the cable guy knows how hard it can be to get all that stuff working. Anyone who's seen the movie Cable Guy knows that too. |
| 4:18
| The streak continues, so far everyone drop has been a Simpsons drop. Pete's making it work and Steve likes it. |
| 4:19
| Steve needs to call Drew one more time before headlines. He feels bad because he knows Drew has been trying to work this out. |
| 4:20
| Drew's wondering if he could get a quesadilla or something. That would really cheer him up. |
| 4:21
| Steve will send him down some Taco Bell but he shouldn't rest on his quesadilla laurels. Drew has been on the phone trying to figure this out, what does Steve think he's doing?! |
| 4:22
| Steve doesn't know what Drew is doing but he thinks he sits in his office all day with Dan trying to figure out what to order at Quizno's. |
| 4:23
| Steve was trying to be mean to Drew for theatrical purposes only but then he completely came apart on him. If nothing else works though, Drew needs to start firing people. Steve will help him too, he loves firing people. He'll sit in on it and even read from the Human Resources script, embellishing when necessary to make it memorable. |
| 4:24
| Steve has the names and numbers of some regional Comcast higher-ups. They'll take Drew's call because they probably want this all to stop. That's Steve's goal right now. |
| 4:25
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:26
| Lindsay Lohan, back in rehab. Steve thinks that people are forgetting that rehab doesn't fix your problem, it's only the first step in a lifelong process of trying to stay sober. |
| 4:27
| It also seems like that rehab place she's been going to is like the Four Seasons. That's what Heidi Fleiss is saying. What happened to the days when celebrities got away with more of this stuff? |
| 4:28
| The Star is reporting that Lindsay did not take her stay at Promises Rehab Center seriously, smuggling in all sorts of drugs. That's Buzz's kind of rehab! |
| 4:29
| If these rehab plays are going to charge so much money they should at least offer some sort of guarantee. Instead they just tell you the relapse rate is 95% and send you on your way. |
| 4:30
| Steve feels bad for Lohan though because really it's just some little girl who's getting arrested for having a substance abuse problem. It's a huge story though, as if the president's been shot. |
| 4:31
| Buzz also said that Lindsay was chasing the car of her assistant's mother but Steve doesn't get why she would do that. But it seems like the mother noticed she was being followed and dropped a dime on Lindsay. |
| 4:32
| Mark Czerniec is on the phone. Apparently, Lindsay had fired her assistant who then called her mom to pick her up. Then Lindsay started following them for some reason. Maybe she was trying to give her a severance check? |
| 4:33
| An 8-year old Arizona boy has become the youngest person to swim around Alcatraz Island. Last year he became the youngest person to swim from San Francisco to Alcatraz. |
| 4:34
| A Florida father has found the body of a missing woman wedged in his son's closet. |
| 4:39
| Steve wants Pete to know that he's just passed the halfway mark of the Simpson rejoin perfect game. |
| 4:40
| Every drop today has been from The Simpsons and there has been no collaboration between Steve and Pete about it. It's all coming naturally. |
| 4:41
| Pete was wondering if Steve could talk about beer or chips at some point. There's no need to sully it, he's halfway there! |
| 4:42
| There is a report that Lindsay Lohan's assistant quit and wasn't fired. So maybe Lindsay was trying to get her back. |
| 4:43
| For all you kids out there, if you're going to do coke and drink, don't drive. Why don't any of these people take limos? How hard is it to take a limo? |
| 4:44
| Buzz was thinking about this earlier and he thinks they all like to drive because it's so fun and they all have nice cars. That's fine but they should get ready to do some jail time. |
| 4:45
| Steve has 2 more one day passes for Sunday at Lollapalooza to give away. Be the 1,059th texter to 41059 with the word Iggy to win. Steve assumes that Iggy Pop is playing on Sunday. |
| 4:46
| If Steve was going to go to Lollapalooza he'd pick Sunday, that's your big finale day with Pearl Jam, Modest Mouse and Iggy Pop. Steve likes all those bands. |
| 4:47
| Song: Arrested for Driving While Blind, ZZ Top |
| 4:50
| Steve's checking his email and someone recommended he play Rehab by Amy Winehouse, which we started the show with. You don't have to wake up that early in the morning to beat us to the punch but you should be listening at the beginning of the show. |
| 4:51
| Iggy and the Stooges are playing on Sunday, that's part of the big reunion tour. Steve and Buzz might have to go see them. |
| 4:52
| Iggy Pop was born in Dearborn, which is also where Buzz was born. Maybe Buzz went to pre-school with the Igg. In Detroit people used to call him the Igg of Stooge. His dad was a school teacher in the Dearborn area and apparently he and Iggy didn't get along, at least at the time. |
| 4:53
| Steve's not sure if they've reconciled or anything. Iggy does have one of his songs in the Carnival Cruise line commercials. |
| 4:56
| That's another Simpsons drop, keep 'em coming Pete. Steve wants to through all the drops at the end of the show, if Pete pitches the perfect game. Pete keeps worrying that Steve's going to jinx him but he has a Simpsons drop about everything. |
| 4:57
| There was a guy on hold who wanted to correct Steve about the Iggy Pop song. He said David Bowie wrote Lust for Life but he hung up. |
| 4:58
| Caller Paul is a long time listener, and not just since 2:00. He was at Disco Demolition but he didn't run onto the field. |
| 4:59
| Paul thinks that maybe a limo wasn't the best choice for chasing after an Escalade with her assistant in it. First of all it would take a while to get there and then those things don't go that fast. |
| 5:00
| That makes sense to Steve but if you're going to be doing coke and drinking you should be set-up in the back of a limo, not driving through Santa Monica. |
| 5:01
| Caller Debbie wanted to let Steve know that Iggy and the Stooges played at Bam Marghera's wedding. That must have really rocked. |
| 5:02
| Steve was going to call Drew but he's already down near the studio. It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. |
| 5:03
| Just to make Drew feel better Steve ordered up some extreme quesadillas. He sounded like a woman when Steve called him earlier. |
| 5:04
| Drew's making up all this stuff Steve said about him earlier. All he said was that he was a corporate shill. |
| 5:05
| Mary's telling Steve to get back to the quesadilla. He's trying but Drew is all over the place. Drew loves the extreme quesadilla, it tastes great and it's present perfectly. Drew thinks that the quesadilla would taste good even if you couldn't eat it right away. Steve's having a meeting with the Taco Bell people tomorrow, he'll pitch that to them. |
| 5:06
| Drew was wondering if there was anything to wash the Taco Bell down with. How about a knuckle sandwich? |
| 5:07
| Mary just brought Drew a Diet Pepsi so he can leave now. He'll never leave now that he has a Pepsi. |
| 5:08
| Can you see why Drew's radio show failed? Imagine four hours of him? People would be prying the radio out fo their cars with their bare hands. Maybe Drew needs to take some classes at Second City so they can harness his genius. |
| 5:09
| Drew needs to keep working on those Comcast boxes though. You'd think one corporate shill would be able to talk to another corporate shill. Apparently he hasn't been able to find someone at his level of shilldom yet. |
| 5:10
| Drew's probably just dragging this all about because it's more air time for him. He's making airchecks and playing them for Garry to show him what he should be doing. Is Garry still in the g-spot? |
| 5:11
| Garry's actually changing his show, it's not going to be the American Wake-Up call. What's that? It sounds like Drew is trying to syndicate something. |
| 5:12
| Just what Steve needs, David Hochberg in the studio. Who told him to come in? Why doesn't Mary just go get a gun and blow Steve's head off. |
| 5:13
| David brought in some ice cold Dr. Pepper which is exactly what Buzz was looking for. If David could talk off-mic more that would be great, the listeners love not hearing what's going on. |
| 5:14
| All of the sudden David is shy about being on the air. David is shy and Drew's not a corporate shill. |
| 5:15
| David brought Steve 6 dozen roses. Steve doesn't want roses from a man does he? It's like a Rose Bowl float. Why doesn't he dress Drew up like a float? |
| 5:16
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 5:17
| David's show is still on WCKG's weekend whore house, along with the Hungry Hound and that auto show where the guy tries to convince people to lease cars. |
| 5:18
| Apparently that show didn't come down the line last week so Matt and Brendan had to fill in. They did their own version of the auto show which was better than the actual show. That's because Matt is from a showbiz family and Brendan was trained by Steve. |
| 5:19
| Steve still doesn't get what this American Wake-Up Call is. Drew's trying to syndicate Garry right? Ride him all the way to the top like Paul Harvey. |
| 5:20
| Drew says the American Wake-Up Call is just a few funny observations at the beginning of every show. Isn't that what every show is supposed to be? |
| 5:24
| Steve's not trying to be mean to Drew but he seems damaged today. Is it just becuase we haven't had him down here lately? |
| 5:25
| Buzz thinks that Drew is torn between things going well at the station and the full-blown tragedy of the cable boxes. Steve also doesn't need David Hochberg in here bringing him roses. The Dr. Pepper hit the spot though, Steve might need another quesadilla. |
| 5:26
| But Steve doesn't want to be mean to Drew. It seems like the engineering department dropped the ball on this but the only way for anyone to notice is for Steve to say something on the air. |
| 5:27
| Steve wouldn't mind taking some random phone calls before he does the sports. He's been enjoying that lately. Buzz likes hearing the music. |
| 5:28
| Coming up after the sports is the big six o'clock newscast from Buzz Kilman and the entire news department. |
| 5:29
| The first caller is a long time listener. It seems like a long time but it's just been since 2:00. When Steve said that working with Drew was like working with a bumblebee the listener choked on his Jamba juice. Then he went to go get some Taco Bell. |
| 5:30
| Steve didn't mean to hurt Drew's feelings. He's a little guy though and it seems like he has little guy feelings. Can't you see him getting pansted a lot in school? Drew assumes the bullying position which causes the bully in Steve to emerge. It's the perfect relationship. |
| 5:31
| The next caller was wondering if Steve got to see The Doors or any other great California bands growing up in So Cal. Steve was a little too young for that but he did get to see Iron Butterfly. |
| 5:32
| Buzz's first show was Cream. Steve remembers when Cream first came out and they were touring when he was in 6th grade. He called the girl next door and asked her if she wanted to go see Cream without actually having tickets. |
| 5:33
| The next caller wanted to thank Steve for the Blarney Island party. That Landshark Lager really looked like it was working. The caller just got back in town and noticed that WCKG is back to being The Package. |
| 5:34
| The caller doesn't really like The Package if Steve wants his opinion. He's not sure what else to call it though, how about Steve's Palace? |
| 5:35
| The caller also wanted to ask Steve about the Twelve Days of Christmas and if he's going to do that again. Steve remembers this guy asking him about this at Blarney Island and he didn't know what he was talking about then either. |

| The Twelve Days of Christmas was a promotional thing where Steve gave away prizes everyday leading up to Christmas. He should call the promotions department and talk to them about that. |
| 5:37
| The next caller hates to break the 200 show rule but he wanted to know what happened to Wendy. She's doing the traffic on WLS in the mornings right now. Steve and Buzz are doing the two-man show right now. |
| 5:38
| The caller sort of liked when Steve beat on Wendy. Steve didn't really want to do that, he felt bad about it. He also feels bad beating on Drew so much. |
| 5:39
| The next caller is Repeating Back Everything Steve Says guy. He's very tired, he just got finished moving the Bears into camp. He works for a moving company and they've been moving the Bears for 19 years. |
| 5:40
| Bourbonnais is nice but it's very hot down there. Did he hit the Applebee's or the Perkins? |
| 5:41
| A couple of nights ago the caller was ref at a hockey game. He started singing Steve's song in his head and blew a bunch of calls. He wasn't point shaving was he? |
| 5:42
| The caller's two favorite songs are his Terry Schiavo parody and the Jonathan Quinn parody. Those are some off-the-wall parody songs. Can't he think of some of the more mainstream songs? |
| 5:43
| The next caller is so happy to be talking to Steve. She wanted to thank Steve for a trip she won to Cancun through the station. She came to the station personally thank Steve but they wouldn't let her in. |
| 5:44
| Steve's under lock-and-key here and he's a registered sex offender so it's better off she didn't come back. That's how Steve was discovered actually, someone saw him on To Catch a Predator. |
| 5:45
| The next caller is your standard random phone call. That's how you have to end it. |
| 5:46
| Pete is four breaks away from a perfect Simpsons rejoin game. Buzz wants to know what he'll do tomorrow? |
| 5:47
| Buzz needs to cheer him on, not bum him out. He might mess up now! Buzz doesn't think Pete will mess up, if he's made of the stuff he thinks he's made of. |

| Time for some sports with the lovely and talented Steve. Javier Vazquez won his fifth straight decision and Paul Konerko hit a go-ahead home run to lead the White Sox to a 5-3 victory over the Tigers, halting a 4-game losing streak. |
| 5:50
| Scott Podsednik was activated from the DL and Luis Terrero was placed on the 15-day DL> |
| 5:51
| The Cubs are in St. Louis to take on the Cardinals. Carlos Zambrano faces Kip Wells and Lou Piniella believes the Cubs will have a good road trip. |
| 5:52
| Lou Piniella seems like a good manager. What the hell is Ozzie doing though? He's just sitting in the dugout chewing on sunflower seeds and looking mopey. |
| 5:53
| The Bears and cornerback Peanut Tillman agreed to a 6-year extension today. |
| 5:54
| NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told Michael Vick not to report to training camp and the Falcons called a press conference to say they agreed with his decisions. Shills! |
| 5:55
| Houston Astro Craig Biggio, the little feller, will retire at the end of the year after 20 seasons. Biggio recently collected his 3,000th hit. A lot of guys stick around for 3,000 because they think it guarantees them a spot in the Hall of Fame. |
| 5:57
| A jury decided against Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis in a lawsuit against the hospital that performed his gastric bypass surgery. Weis claimed it was botched. |

| Buzz misses Troy, he hasn't seen him since last summer. Whenever he does stop by he'll want to see Buzz right away. |
| 6:02
| News with Buzz |
| 6:03
| Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank spoke for the first time since Michael Vick was indicted for charges relating to dogfighting. Steve loves the way Buzz says Falcons. Blank wanted to make it clear that the Falcons aren't out to get Michael Vick. |
| 6:04
| The Falcons aren't out to get Michael Vick but the U.S. government is. Even with the points Steve doesn't like his odds. |
| 6:05
| A Louisiana grand jury has refused to charge a doctor in the deaths of 9 patients in a medical center following Hurricane Katrina. The Louisiana attorney general had accused the doctor and two nurses of injecting 9 patients with a lethal drug combination in the days after Hurricane Katrina. |
| 6:06
| Steve feels he could play John Burge if they ever make a TV movie about him. Buzz thinks he's a tad bit too congenial. Steve is an actor though, he can dial it up to bitter and grumpy. |
| 6:07
| Lindsay Lohan's DUI bust will keep her away from an appearance on the Tonight's Show. At the last minute actor Rob Schneider has agreed to come on the show in drag. |
| 6:08
| Lindsay Lohan is back in rehab following her latest arrest but rehab veteran Heidi Fleiss is saying that it might not be enough. |
| 6:09
| Steve can't disagree with Heidi Fleiss, it seems like she knows what she's talking about. |
| 6:10
| Matt Leinart's baby mama is demanding $21,000 a month from the QB to help raise their child. Yesterday, Brynn Cameron complained that Leinart got all the credit for being a good dad but she was the one doing all the work. |
| 6:11
| Buzz might not know this but starting Thursday Steve won't be here for the next few weeks. He's beginning his tour of NFL training facilities with his condom lecture. They're making condoms so thin that you can't even tell you're wearing one. |
| 6:12
| It appears that increasing numbers of Muslims around the world are rejecting suicide bombing and other forms of violence in the name of their religion. That's good news, maybe all the people who wanted to kill themselves did it already. |
| 6:18
| Fine job as always with the news Buzz! How about a mailbag? |
| 6:19
| The first emailer got a ride home from his buddy today and was forced to listen to US 99. At around 4:15 the DJ made a comment about the men's bathroom on the 10th floor at WCKG. |
| 6:20
| That's that wormy kid who Steve always sees around here. He also got married to his wife on Eric & Kathy's show. |
| 6:21
| He was talking about dirty bathrooms and he said that someone uses paper towels to open the bathroom door and then throws them in a pile behind the door. |
| 6:22
| He wasn't pointing fingers but he made sure listeners knew that US 99 shares a floor with WCKG and the Steve Dahl Show. Apparently he doesn't know that Steve has his own bathroom. |
| 6:23
| There are a ton of people on this floor who use that bathroom, including people from US 99. Buzz thinks that the person who drops the towels is the same person who wads up a paper towel and sticks it in the urinal. It's probably the same person who wipes boogers on the wall too. |
| 6:24
| Pete says he doesn't drop the paper towel but he seems like the type. He doesn't wipe boogers on the wall either. He doesn't give it a nice farmer's wipe or anything? That's when you plug up one nostril. |
| 6:25
| Brendan's not outside the studio, can he get to a mic in Matt's studio? Brendan says he doesn't do it either. |
| 6:26
| Steve calls down to the news room. Jim is not a towel dropper or a farm wiper. He remembers this issue coming up a few years ago but he can't remember who the culprit was. |
| 6:27
| There are a ton of people who use that bathroom, like sales guys and other people from US 99. It could be the sales people, they're always bringing newspapers in there too. Jim always hears them talking to each other while using the bathroom which is creepy as hell. |
| 6:28
| That Drew kid from US 99 also puts out some radio newsletter which Steve has somehow subscribed too. Jim always sees that in the bathroom too. Maybe people should use the newsletter to open the bathroom door. |
| 6:29
| The emailer also had a couple of programming questions. First he was wondering if Steve could replay Brendan's Sean Payton interview from Super Bowl week as well as Steve narrating his trip to Shorty's BBQ. He's also having trouble downloading last Friday's podcast. |
| 6:30
| Steve calls down to the news room again. Jim isn't having a problem with last Friday's podcast. Every time this comes up it's usually user error. Whenever Steve gets one of these emails he forwards it on to Ed who goes nuts on the person for insinuating that we don't know how to properly encode a podcast. Then we never hear from them again. |
| 6:31
| The last emailer was wondering if it was Buzz or Garry Meier who ate a bunch of ice cream the night before running a marathon and was unable to finish it the next day. |
| 6:32
| That would be Buzz. He ate some chocolate chip ice cream the next day and was unable to complete the marathon. |
| 6:33
| He doesn't think it was the ice cream as much as the chocolate that caused him some problems. |
| 6:37
| We are one Simpsons drop-in away from a perfect game for our own Pete Zimmerman. He's managed to tie-in everything Steve and Buzz have talked about with a drop from The Simpsons. He hasn't been stretching either. |
| 6:38
| Pete's feeling a little nervous right now. The 27th out is the hardest one. Steve sort of wants to do it soon so we can hear a nice retrospective of all the drops. Then we can all go out and celebrate with Duff beer and Buzz cola. |
| 6:39
| Caller Michelle wanted to let Steve know that the paper towel thing is an epidemic in bathrooms everywhere. |
| 6:40
| The company she works for put garbage cans outside the bathroom door and also installed hand sanitizers right there. |
| 6:41
| That hand sanitizer seems really creepy, like someone did something in your hands, but then you rub them together and it's all gone. |
| 6:42
| Steve's getting word from Mary and Tina that the women's bathroom here is clean but people smoke in there. Steve might have to go bathroom monitor because he doesn't want to die in a fire. |
| 6:43
| Steve does like the idea of the garbage can though. He doesn't really care about touching the door handle but he does use his foot for any sort of seat moving or flushing. |
| 6:44
| It's also nice if the toilet has an auto-flush, unless it goes off before you're done. Buzz actually doesn't mind that, it's refreshing. |
| 6:49
| There ya go, the perfect game. Every rejoin today was a Simpsons drop-in. Dreams do come true. Do we have champagne or anything? |
| 6:50
| Steve remembers 15 breaks ago when he challenged Pete to use nothing but Simpsons drops. He wasn't sure he could do it but now look at him. |
| 6:51
| Can we hear all 15 drops now? That would be a great retrospective on the show too. |
| 6:52
| Pete's not sure he can play all of them right now because several drops were recorded on the same file. That's like pitching a perfect game and then being unable to show the highlights. |
| 6:53
| Pete thought he'd be able to do it on the fly but he can't. It sounds like he's still trying to do something but it's not going to happen is it? |
| 6:54
| Pete doesn't want to leave hear feeling good about himself does he? He wants an hour of misery on the train ride back to Rogers Park, surrounded by lesbians. |
| 6:55
| Steve's going to demand all Simpsons drops tomorrow too and then a retrospective at 5 minutes to 7:00. |
| 6:56
| Pete thought he'd be able to do it but a lot of the files have the same name. That seems to be a problem with Pete's system. When you're labeling and archiving in something it's key to have separate names for everything. |
| 6:57
| Pete did a fine job of getting all the Simpsons drops together but it would have been nice to have a retrospective. Now that Pete thinks about it he probably could have done it anyway. |
| 6:58
| Pete doesn't even want Steve to go home feeling good about himself. Pete could put it together in 5 minutes. Steve gets that Mark Buehrle didn't have to edit his own highlights when he pitched the no-hitter. |
| 6:59
| Is that what Pete was holding out for? Maybe Jim should have been doing it and then he could have leapt into Pete's arms like AJ did after the no-hitter. |
| 7:00
| Brendan thinks this is the perfect week for the all-SImpsons drop perfect game because the movie is coming out on Friday. |
| 7:01
| Matt and Brendan have their college stories tonight. Matt does a really good job playing the part of a college coed which makes Steve wonder what went on at DePaul. |
| 7:02
| Brendan doesn't do the entertainment news every night because he's good at it. That's all part of Keeping People Down 101. |
| 7:03
| Matt hasn't fully recovered from one of his uncles telling him the Saturday show sounded a little tired. He didn't know what to make of that. He actually said Matt sounded like he was struggling. |
| 7:04
| The entire way home Steve tried get Matt to admit it bugged him but he was pretending to sleep. Matt was tired on Saturday morning because he was out all night with Mike and Pat. |
| 7:05
| The same thing happened the last time Pat was in town around Christmas. They threw an early bachelor party for him, Pat got a stripper but then made Matt get all the crazy stuff done to him. That's vintage Pat Dahl. |
| 7:06
| Pete doesn't think the retrospective is going to happen. Thanks for the heads-up! |
| 7:07
| Pete's only three shy of getting it done, just do it. Not that this takes the luster off of he perfect game but the retrospective would be nice. |
| 7:08
| Pete is still a couple of minutes away from the retrospective. Should Steve just forget it? Buzz just wants to go home, he's halfway out the door already. Let's just start the show with it tomorrow. |
| 7:09
| Not unlike what Garry Meier does with the American Shout-out or whatever it's called, Pete can start the show off with the retrospective. |
| 7:10
| Steve doesn't even care any more, it was impressive enough that every drop-in was from The Simpsons. |
| 7:11
| Will he have it ready by 7:30? What if he did it during Matt and Brendan's show? |
| 7:12
| Steve is in a hole he doesn't know how to get out of. Buzz knows how, just press the button and start the music. |
