| 2:03
| Stan was wondering if there's ever a time when the Bears, Sox and Cubs are all playing in town on the same day. He thinks it'd be cool to go see all 3. |
| 2:04
| How does Terry listen to this stuff all day? Terry has gone to a Cubs and Sox game in the same day and that was enough. Two games is a lot to watch. |
| 2:05
| Stan would have to have it coordinated in a nice flow from Wrigley to Soldier Field to The Cell. |
| 2:06
| Steve has encountered someone who was involved in the perfect storm of attending a Cubs, Sox and Bears game in one year. They were completely hammered. |
| 2:07
| Stan would try to ride his bike to all three events but it doesn't seem like there are good places to lock your bike up. The Cubs have a bike lock-up. Of course they do. |
| 2:08
| Steve went to the Sox game last night and he was not happy with it. He got tricked into thinking the Sox were still in it and then they managed 1 run last night. |
| 2:09
| That Grady Sizemore is on Terry's list of hated players. He's a good player though. Terry was once at a game where |
| 2:10
| Terry got sucked back into it too. He was telling Lanelle that if the Sox swept the Indians they'd only be 7 1/2 games back. Then they get the lead runner on base last night in the 9th and can't get him in. |
| 2:11
| Steve was gone by that time. Stan thought Steve was of the school of never leaving early. Steve's of the school of not wanting to get caught in traffic. |
| 2:12
| Terry's wondering if that hot woman was sitting in front of Steve last night. He's finally gotten her to start calling Joe Crede Cree-Diddy. Too bad he's out of the line-up now. |
| 2:13
| Steve didn't see that girl last night but there was a really irritating family behind him. It was a dad and his little kids and they were dropping stuff on him and acting up and the dad just sat there. Those are expensive seats, you can't just sit back and do nothing. |
| 2:14
| There was an attractive blond woman two rows back of Steve that was a fan of the show. Steve told her he had an extra seat next to him but her husband frowned on that. |
| 2:15
| Stan's been to three games this year and every time he's ordered one of those Fan Fotos. They come framed with the Sox logo and the other team's logo stamped on them. It's way better than having a camera phone photo. |
| 2:16
| Steve wanted to the photo girl to take a picture of him by himself last night but she wouldn't. He wanted to order one and then Photoshop in whoever he wanted. |
| 2:17
| Stan discovered the Italian sausage stand on his last trip to The Cell. Up until them he thought they only had brats. |
| 2:18
| Caller Chris is in the air with Stan and Terry & Steve Dahl on 105.9 WCKG, The Package. Chris wanted to remind everyone that the Ligues started their infamous day at Wrigley for a Cubs game then headed down to a Sox game. |
| 2:19
| Chris could see Stan and Jeffrey doing something similar, running onto the field. They'd probably do father/son massages, not a beat-down. |
| 2:20
| Steve would like to see Stan and Jeffrey in tank tops which come off just as they're getting to first base. Then you'd see all of Stan's keeloid tattoos from his days in a frat at Morehouse. |
| 2:21
| Most people who do the Cubs and Sox game in one day travel by EL. We are able to have a Subway Series here if both teams got that far. Steve didn't know it was one train from Wrigley to The Cell. |
| 2:22
| He always hears on the news that the Red Line is shut down but he doesn't know what the hell that is. Wouldn't it be easier to just give street names? And why the hell is Steve watching CTA news anyway? |
| 2:27
| Song: Takin' Care of Business, Bachman-Turner Overdrive |
| 2:32
| TCB baby! When is Buzz's next Elvis thing? Is he still on that circuit? Elvis died on August 16th so that's next week. |
| 2:33
| Joining Steve and Buzz on the phone is WBBM's Sherman Kaplan. Sherman actually interviewed Dick Biondi on the day Elvis died. |
| 2:34
| Steve and Sherman run into each other quite a bit on the 11th floor. Sherman only just recently learned Steve's office is on the same floor as WBBM. Steve's the dirty little secret up there. |
| 2:35
| Sherman is not 70 as was thought last week. Sherman doesn't care about that but he is concerned that Steve said he had a lilt in his voice last week. Maybe it was just the elevator door closing on him. |
| 2:36
| Sherman has been at WBBM since 1969. It's good to have that kind of security in a business like radio. |
| 2:37
| Sherman is also the host of the Noon Business Hour which Steve loves to listen to. He couldn't figure out why he started listening to it but he learns so much from it. |
| 2:38
| Yesterday Sherman and Kris Kridel were talking to a guy who was analyzing Starbuck's and their recent price increase. Quite uncharacteristically, Kris went off on the 11¢ increase and how she doesn't buy a second cup any more. The analyst couldn't believe she didn't buy a second cup because it was 11¢ more but Sherman bailed her out and said she gets too hyper on 2 cups. |
| 2:39
| Sherman and Kris have been doing the Noon Business Hour for almost 6 years now. He has to give a lot of the credit to Drew Hayes for getting it started. Steve hates to hear that. |
| 2:40
| The Noon Business Hour has a lot of great guests too. Steve's not sure who their producer is but he does a good job of booking guests. |
| 2:41
| The show is produced by Andy Gersher who was a former stock trader with a yen for broadcasting, no pun intended. Steve likes when they have new guests on because they're always very shaky. |
| 2:42
| Yesterday Sherman had a chance to hear Kris interview someone on her own and he was really able to get a sense of what their listeners get everyday. He never really listens to their airchecks. |
| 2:43
| Sherman was very excited when he was asked to be on Steve's show today. He should down here and spin some platters one day. |
| 2:44
| Sherman still does restaurant reviews for WBBM-AM and North Shore Magazine. Steve's a big fan of Sherman's. It's really impressive that he's been in Chicago since 1969. |
| 2:45
| Sherman was a big fan of a character Steve did named Baba Gnoush. Steve does remember that one. |
| 2:46
| Steve told Buzz he was hanging with Sherman Kaplan but he didn't believe him until now. |
| 2:47
| You hate to hear Drew getting credit for anything but it was very faint. Drew basically said yes to Sherman's idea. It was probably Drew's idea to get the umbrellas with the Noon Business Hour logo on them. |
| 2:48
| Steve still has that umbrella somewhere around here. He might have thrown it into the garbage in anger. It was a 50/50 between throwing Drew and throwing the umbrella. Drew would have fit in the garbage can too though. |
| 2:49
| That might have been the day Drew was in the studio tanking and then Steve allowed David Hochberg to come in and bring him flowers. Steve wanted to throw the flowers in the garbage too but they ended up in Buzz's office dying. |
| 2:53
| Mark Czerniec is on the phone to talk about the weather. There's some bad weather coming through the area. |
| 2:54
| Before that though Steve would like to note that he did not throw the umbrella in the garbage. Yesterday when there were technical difficulties in the studio Steve said he wanted to throw something. During the break following that several items were removed from the studio. That's a great way to get the studio cleaned though. |
| 2:55
| Steve still has the umbrella but he doesn't really use them. There's a tornado coming though! Steve has CLTV on pause right now, the National Weather System warning just came on there. |
| 2:56
| Steve's favorite part is when they slot in different city names. It sounds like they have a slight speech impediment to Buzz along with a Texas twang like Holly Hunter. Everyone else was listening to the info but Buzz was listening to the subtext. |
| 2:57
| A funnel cloud was spotted near Maple Park which is near Carpentersville and Sleepy Hollow. There was a tornado warning near Steve on Saturday which Mark happened to notice on his computer. |
| 2:58
| Mark forgot to shut off all of the weather warnings he normally gets during the week so he saw that one come through. Buzz can laugh all he wants but Mark is the only person standing in between them knowing nothing. |
| 2:59
| Steve didn't go into the basement because no siren went of. He just watched the very frank guy on the Weather Channel. |
| 3:00
| The next day in the Tribune they had a sweat photo of a funnel cloud in the area but you couldn't tell if it actually touched down. If it doesn't touch the ground it's not a tornado. |
| 3:01
| Steve can't go in the basement without a siren, it's not manly. Mark was always torn as a kid between his mom telling them to rush into the basement and his dad telling him to come outside and check out how green the sky was. |
| 3:02
| Usually Mark just stood in the doorway looking outside with his mom screaming at him to get downstairs. That sounds like a good way to do it. |
| 3:03
| So that was a funnel cake spotted in Maple Park, not a funnel cake. It is the funnel cake season though. If you drop a funnel cake on the ground does it become a tornado cake? |
| 3:08
| Bob and Ron should complain about Ron and Tim who are two guys that do a weekend show on the station. As far as Steve knows it's a local show, they should have been told to change their name. That's an infringement. |
| 3:09
| Steve's going to call someone from upper management and see what they have to say about it. Steve's having the same problem with the phone today that he was having yesterday. |
| 3:10
| A new piece was ordered for the phone but it hasn't arrived yet. Something like that should be overnighted and if it's out of stock they should be up all night making one. |
| 3:11
| Steve just doesn't want Drew down here so he'd rather call him. It's finally dialing after the 5th try. |
| 3:12
| Ron and Tim is bad for Bob and Ron. It's confusing to Steve and he's an insider. |
| 3:13
| Caller Todd is a weather geek. He has some info about the tornado siren. It goes off for three minutes during a warning. To sound an all clear they do three short blasts of the siren. |
| 3:14
| Steve feels the siren should be on for the entire time but you probably wouldn't want to live next to it. |
| 3:15
| What's the point of a siren if it's not going to go off the entire time there's a warning? It's a tornado siren so it'll keep you on your toes in the event of bad weather. |
| 3:16
| Whenever you see footage from World War II the air raid siren is on the entire time. If you don't want to live next to a siren then don't move there. You can tell it's a siren, it's a giant telephone pole with a siren on top. |
| 3:17
| Caller Brian was on hold earlier but he had to hang up. He's a first responder, is that why he had to go? |
| 3:18
| Brian sounds like a guy who does a little community theater. Actually he did some radio in college. It all makes sense now. He left radio because there was no money in it and got into the park district business. |
| 3:19
| Brian imagines that a lot of Steve's listeners were involved in college radio. He went to NIU and their radio station just came through the power plug in dorm rooms. |
| 3:20
| Steve remembers the NIU station, he might have been there once to spin some platters. He wouldn't mind getting Sherman in to spin some platters. |
| 3:21
| Brian has some info about the various sirens. He doesn't want to go all weather geek on Steve but it might be too late. He'll be the boat anchor for this segment. |
| 3:22
| There are a few different types of sirens in the various towns he works in. Some were originally programmed for nuclear bomb warnings. |
| 3:30
| This just in, a man was found dead in a peep show booth in Cicero. The man, from Hanover Park, was found face down in a booth. That's not a floor you want to be face down on. |
| 3:31
| All apologies but for some reason Buzz imagines that this is how we'll find Ed Silha. If he's in a peep show booth can't the person who he's peeping see him? |
| 3:32
| Steve's glad to know there are still peep shows in operation. That's right on his way home too. Still you don't want to be face down on the floor of a peep show booth. Dave Savini could have a field day in one of those with a black light. |
| 3:33
| Also from Crown Point, Indiana, a carnival worker was arrested after being accused of molesting two girls on a Ghost Pirates ride. The name of that ride alone is wrong, it's bordering on copyright infringement. |
| 3:34
| Judex J. Colon III, age 24, is charged with two counts of child molesting, two counts of criminal confinement and two counts of sexual battery. |
| 3:35
| The two girls, ages 5 and 8, say Colon went into the ride, held down their arms, licked one on the face and licked the other's lips. |
| 3:36
| Colon told police officers that he accidentally kissed the two girls while they were on the ride. Later he said he did it out of habit. That's a bad habit to have. |
| 3:37
| Colon said that he sometimes goes on the ride if children are scare and reassures them that everything is OK. Does that reassurance include a lick on the face? |
| 3:38
| It sounds like this guy doesn't have a lawyer. You don't have to tell the police anything, nor do you have to tell Chris Hanson anything. |
| 3:44
| On the phone is Dan Jiggetts from Comcast Sportsnet. |
| 3:45
| Steve was sucked in to believing that the Sox would sweep the Indians and be right back in it. The Cubs have lost their last three games too. |
| 3:46
| It would have been nice to win that first game, especially with CC Sabathia pitching for Cleveland tonight. |
| 3:47
| The Cubs are in Houston to finish their series against the Astros. Carlos Zambrano takes the hill against Roy Oswalt. Oswalt has lost his last 5 games against the Cubs. |
| 3:48
| That Carlos Lee sure kills the Cubs though. They did an analysis of his career against the Cubs and he's hitting above .400. That's probably why Houston gave him that big contract. |
| 3:49
| Carlos has a big cattle ranch in Panama. He used to actually do bull riding and cattle rustling but stopped once he realized how dangerous it could be. |
| 3:50
| Steve is separated by two degrees from a guy who used to do that stuff and he got his head kicked in. |
| 3:51
| When Dan was with the NFL Player's Association the rodeo riders wanted them to help organize as a union. Did Dan tell them their own union sucked? Dan thinks the NFLPA did a hell of a job. |
| 3:52
| Steve thinks the one way the NFLPA fails players is with the one-year contracts. Dan used to agree until he was on the other side of it. You see what some people do in football when they get guaranteed contracts. |
| 3:53
| Steve's wondering about all the stuff Coach said about the pension fund. Dan didn't think the finger should have been pointed at the retirement board because he knows what goes on in those meetings. |
| 3:55
| A lot of people were making a big deal about dropped passes in the Bears practice last night but that doesn't seem like a big deal. Tonight Bernard Berrian will be on Sportsnite at the top of the show and then Dusty Dvoracek at the end. Steve likes that Dvoracek kid. |
| 3:56
| He likes how he went back to Oklahoma after being kicked out to finish things off right. |
| 3:57
| Steve didn't know Dan used to be on the board of the retired players but that worked out well. That wasn't a side to the story that got covered, it was just Ditka going crazy. |
| 3:58
| Buzz was wondering who specifically dropped passes in practice. It sounded like it was everyone, including G-Reg. Buzz is probably worried about that since he's a Hurricane. |
| 3:59
| If Buzz sees G-Reg in Bourbonnais next week are they going to do some sort of secret handshake? Will Buzz bring the soul record he recorded about his female conquests? |
| 4:06
| Steve is stalling looking for the cursor on his computer. |
| 4:07
| Song: Blue Planet, Steve Dahl and the Dahlfins |
| 4:08
| Steve went to do something else on his computer and he accidentally stopped his song. He'll re-rack it and then give away another group of tickets. That'll give the girl down the hall something to do. |
| 4:09
| The new contest line could be answered from Jill or Adam's office but instead the girl is sitting down the hall all day. Steve's only giving away tickets twice during the show but the person has to sit out there the entire time. |
| 4:10
| Steve only wanted the contest line when there was a giveaway every break. You can't tie up the phone lines like that. |
| 4:11
| Having someone down there stifles Steve's commercial break banter too. He's not sure who the person is down there and what he or she might here and take the wrong way. |
| 4:12
| Steve calls down to Drew's office. He just walked in some he's not sure what's going on. Check the show log! |
| 4:13
| Buzz tries to tell Drew what Steve wants but Steve hung up on him. He'll call him back though but he was under the impression that Drew was always monitoring the show. |
| 4:14
| It's depressing to have someone sitting out there at a desk at a weird height waiting for Steve to play one of his songs. She should be in an office learning something. And it's not this girl's fault either, she seems very plucky and ready to answer phones. |
| 4:15
| Steve and Buzz could have her run errands for them though like pick up their laundry. Drew doesn't think that's a good idea, he wouldn't want to pick up Buzz's dry cleaning. |
| 4:16
| Is Drew just working his routine now? Steve would pick up Buzz's laundry but he wouldn't want to drop off the dirty. |
| 4:17
| Steve thought he made it known to Adam and even Drew that the person should be answering the contest line from somewhere else. |
| 4:18
| The girl answering phones seems very nice and if Steve had something for her to do he'd ask her. She could catalog the CDs in the Green Room but that would also stifle Steve since he likes to walk around in there nude. |
| 4:19
| So far it seems like it'll be a different person everyday. Steve just feels bad that they have nothing to do. They're probably excited for their first day down near the studio and all they do is sit there for 5 hours waiting to answer the phone twice. |
| 4:20
| Maybe WCKG is running a program where parents who's kids want to get into radio pay us to deter them. |
| 4:21
| Does Buzz have everything he needs? Would he like some watermelon chunks? If Steve were an intern he'd rather tell his friends that he went out to get Buzz Kilman watermelon. |
| 4:22
| Steve certainly could make things more exciting for the person answering phones with his snappy banter and ribald behavior but he doesn't want to end up in Federal court. |
| 4:23
| There was a certain sense of stubbornness from Adam when Steve wanted the call screener in the promotions office. Steve likes Adam though, he's a hard worker. That stubbornness could be coming from Jill though. Steve likes her too because she kicked those hip-hop guys out of his dressing room. |
| 4:24
| Drew seemed to snap-to-it when Steve talked to him though. There was that detour into Buzz's pants though. |
| 4:25
| Song: Blue Planet, Steve Dahl and the Dahlfins |
| 4:28
| Steve just realize he could probably put his songs on the podcast since they're his. He gives himself permission. It's too late now but he'll remember for next time. Or Jim could just insert them right in there if he wants. Buzz thinks he will. |
| 4:29
| Steve calls Jim just to double check. He was as talkative as ever coming in to deliver the audio for the headlines. Jim didn't want to interrupt Steve who was having a conversation. |
| 4:30
| He'll put Steve's song on the podcast. The Nadas probably wouldn't mind either. They gave Jim permission to put their songs on the podcast. |
| 4:31
| Buzz's songs can't go on the podcast because they're all covers. It's like when Melvin Taylor was here, we couldn't put his songs on the podcast because they're covers. |
| 4:32
| Live read: Arby's |
| 4:33
| Steve went out in the hall to meet the girls who brought in the Arby's and they seemed genuinely excited to meet him. |
| 4:34
| Yesterday was the Turkey Bacon Club, today is the Philly Beef on a ciabatta roll. Where did ciabatta come from anyway? Steve never heard of it until a few years ago, now it's everywhere. |
| 4:38
| In Italian, ciabatta translates to "carpet slipper" because of it's shape. It's a white bread made with wheat flour. |
| 4:39
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:40
| Federal officials have decided they will handle all press briefings pertaining to the mine collapse. That's too bad because the mine owner is sweet. |
| 4:41
| That doesn't mean he can't just go out there and talk to the press himself. He does seem a little out of his mind but he's also very engaging. |
| 4:42
| Barry Bonds received a video congratulation from Hank Aaron after breaking the all-time home run record last night in San Francisco. He did not receive a phone call until today. |
| 4:43
| A fresh outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease in Great Britain could be an act of sabotage. When Steve and Pat were over there a few years ago they were also having an outbreak. |
| 4:44
| Are they saying it's terrorism? Terrorists don't seem smart enough to put something together like that. |
| 4:45
| The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has given ABC the highest marks of any of the five major network for their depiction of gay, lesbian and transgender characters and issues. |
| 4:46
| If you pulled the numbers those groups are probably overrepresented based on their percentage in the population. There's an entire network dedicated to gay programming, it's called Logo. |
| 4:54
| What time does a Buzz Kilman settle in for the night because Steve wants to give him tonight's Logo TV line-up. |
| 4:55
| At 9:00 tonight we've got the Elton John Story. At 10:00, Noah's Ark, season 2. "If you thought the wedding at the end of Season 1 was a killer closer, wait until you see how this one ends! July 4th weekend in Los Angeles can only mean one thing. Black Gay Pride! There's no better way to end Season 2 than for Noah and the gang get themselves, and their outfits, together for a charity fashion show and the annual beach..." |
| 4:56
| At 10:30 tonight Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple In All The World
Guess Who's Coming For Quiche? Steve actually wouldn't mind watching that. |
| 4:57
| On tonight's episode Rick and Steve's lesbian friends ask Rick to father their child. This show is actually a cartoon. |
| 4:58
| A 11:00 is Bad Girls which seems to be some sort of all-girls prison drama. |
| 4:59
| At 1:00 AM The Hunger with David Bowie, Susan Sarandon and Catherine Denueve. Buzz has actually seen that movie, Sarandon and Denueve get it on. |
| 5:07
| Steve would like to say that the station has really dialed back The Package stuff nicely. Steve was starting to freak out because he was afraid it was going to tip over. |
| 5:08
| Steve was getting sick of it and it was his idea. He gets that they need to make a splash but they've dialed it back nicely. Now it seems like it's always been The Package. |
| 5:09
| It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve's going with the original which is the hard shell. When you say "original" you'll get the hard shell, that's part of the Taco Bell lexicon. |
| 5:10
| Steve would like to see them call the hardshell "the old school" but that's how he rolls. It's a different world now with the soft shells and everything but there was a time when the only taco you could get was a hardshell, hence "the original" |
| 5:11
| The weather is inclement today so just go through the Taco Bell drive-thru. Steve can see why there was weather because it's in the low 70s now. You're always going to see tornados before a cool down like that. That taco really hit the spot. |
| 5:12
| Song: California, The Nadas |
| 5:17
| That was Steve on the bongos in that song. That's his thing, spacy bongos. |
| 5:22
| Steve told Buzz how long the break was but he was still running back to the studio. He has the look of an aimless wanderer. He likes to say hi to people. |
| 5:23
| Steve knows that Buzz is working on the news. He also knows that if he doesn't does his live read right after the break he gets antsy and quite frankly irascible. |
| 5:24
| If Steve starts talking before Buzz reads his commercial he'll wave the paper until you acknowledge him. |
| 5:25
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 5:26
| This copy might need to be rewritten. That's been happening to Steve a lot lately. The salesperson who handled this account is no longer here. That means the new guy has to handle all of the paper work but doesn't get the commission. |
| 5:27
| Bob and Ron are here. They were out at Lollapalooza all weekend for the Bob and Ron Radio Marathon. |
| 5:28
| It doesn't seem like Bob should be complaining about how long they were on over the weekend. They should feel lucky to be on at all. |
| 5:29
| Bob and Ron are not too happy about the Ron and Tim show but they haven't spoken to anyone about it. At first Bob thought Ron was doing another show about building things. |
| 5:30
| Bob and Ron can't build anything they can only tear down. They can build a bong out of any three objects but that's just part of their normal show. |
| 5:31
| Steve's not sure if that's a local show or not. Bob heard Stan talking about how one of those guys left a tool in the studio so maybe it is local. |
| 5:32
| Steve caught a little of Bob and Ron's action on Sunday which he'd like to play back now. There are a few things in here Steve finds interesting and unusual. You could probably call them highlights. |
| 5:33
| First off Bob says he doesn't really like Pearl Jam but he respects them. That's probably a load off of Eddie Vedder's mind. From what Steve can tell everyone at Lollapalooza likes Pearl Jam so they might want to go that way. Or they could diss the headliner. |
| 5:34
| Bob and Ron are really shouting into their mics or maybe it's just overmodulated. Their engineer was Ed who might have fallen asleep during the broadcast. |
| 5:35
| Some people say they couldn't care less but they actually could. Ed really couldn't care any less. |
| 5:36
| Then Bob says he appreciates the old school aspects of Pearl Jam which translates to their fans. He saw a girl wearing a homemade "I Love Eddie Vedder" shirt which he liked because it wasn't a $50 corporate t-shirt. |
| 5:37
| Calling it "Mallapalooza" might be funny if you're making stage announcements at Hemp Fest. |
| 5:38
| Bob and Ron had helpers who grabbed people for them to interview. That's more and Pete and Jim had. They just had sales people staring at them. Pete's still on suicide watch because of Friday. Everything metal in his house has been replaced with plastic. |
| 5:39
| One of their helpers was almost assaulted by Juliette Lewis who they wanted to interview. Buzz had no idea Juliette Lewis was going to be at Lollapalooza. He would have gone had he known that! |
| 5:40
| CNN has some sweet footage of the shuttle launch. Are they all drunk on there? |
| 5:41
| Steve noticed that Bob and Ron were OK eating the corporate pizza, they didn't complain about that. |
| 5:42
| What did Bob and Ron do to that Stephanie girl to make her like them? She used to work in sales here and now she's their lackey during her free time. |
| 5:43
| They must have done something illegal to her, gone in and tweaked her brain. Otherwise why would she want to hang out with them? |
| 5:44
| Bob and Ron did end up talking to a few artists like ?uestlove and Rhymefest. How about anyone Steve has heard of? Did they talk to Eddie Vedder or Iggy Pop or Patti Smith because those are the only people Steve knows. |
| 5:45
| Even if Pete and Jim could have gotten interviews Steve would have said no to them. |
| 5:46
| Caller Troy had to call and let Buzz know that Juliette Lewis played at The Note in Wicker Park the night before her Lollapalooza performance. |
| 5:47
| Buzz can't believe he didn't know about that! Steve is surprised because Buzz is so plugged in to everything. |
| 5:52
| That was a drop of one of those Metromix chaches interviewing Juliette Lewis. It was Pogo the main chach. |
| 5:53
| It had the feel of her writing her own songs. Or it could be dudes in the band |
| 5:54
| It's Erik Brann's birthday, he's from Iron Butterfly. From his band bio he hopes to continue his acting career but right now he's only concerned with the Butterfly, turtleneck sweaters and the |

| On August 9th, 1969 Charles Manson's followers murdered Sharon Tate and several friends. Manson is still in jail which Buzz considers a travesty since he never killed anyone. |

| Mission control received the message "class is in session" indicating that Endeavor had safely reached orbit. Was that a slurred message? |

| Democratic presidential hopefuls will participate in a debate about gay issues that will air on the Logo Network. |

| Steve has a new theory that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will burn each other out and John Edwards will get the nomination. |
| 6:10
| Why do they need to have a debate about gay issues? Can't they just ask them about gay marriage in a debate? Steve has issues, he doesn't get a Steve Dahl debate. |

| A California college student is reporting that he had a fling with Britney Spears. Working as a dancer in her music video the 21-year old student was invited to a pool party at her house. |
| 6:12
| Once at her house Britney told him all she wanted to do was kiss a boy that night. So they didn't really have sex. Why does he even need to talk about that? |

| Barry Bonds received a phone call from President Bush this afternoon, congratulating him for breaking Hank Aaron's all-time home run record. |
| 6:14
| Steve would just like to say that if Barry Bonds was on steroids and stopped, why is he still so big? When guys come off steroids they get really small really fast. Steve would like to get that hat Barry is wearing with "756" on it. |

| A judge has halted a man from releasing a video documenting Anna Nicole Smith's 1994 breast enhancement surgery. |
| 6:16
| It seems like the doctor responsible for enhancing those things should keep his yapper shut. |

| Live read: Racine Boat Show |
| 6:26
| A boat show is a great place to buy a boat. All of the prices are right on the stern so you know what you can afford before you even get on board. |
| 6:27
| Steve went to a boat show last year and actually discovered that the boat he already had was perfect for his boating needs. |

| Song: Hula Hula Boys, Steve Dahl and the Dahlfins |
| 6:32
| Steve would like to say two things about that recording. First of all that's an unnecessary modulation at the end put on by Joe Thomas. Second, there are way too many girl's singing on the background of that song. That's because Joe was dating one of the background singer. |
| 6:33
| The girl he was dating couldn't sing so Joe had to hire other women to cover her up which Steve of course paid for. |
| 6:34
| Steve feels that Joe put the modulation in there because he felt it wasn't a properly constructed song since there's no bridge. |

| Ben Gay is here and he's drenched as Buzz can see. He needs to get out of these wet clothes and into something dry. Or he'll just get out of these wet clothes if there's nothing available. |
| 6:42
| This is one of those times Ben wishes there was a fireplace and a bear skin rug in the studio. Buzz feels the way. |
| 6:43
| Ben was late because he got caught up in a storm. It was a personal storm, a domestic storm. He picked someone up last night and this morning awoke to find himself being robbed. The man only spoke Spanish and Ben didn't really remember his name or what he looked like. He also doesn't know what was taken because he has a lot of things. |
| 6:44
| Barry Bonds received a call from President Bush today a day after breaking Hank Aaron's all-time home record. Buzz reported that in the news today. |
| 6:45
| Bonds says he has no desire to get the home run ball back either. Good luck getting your ball back in San Francisco. |
| 6:46
| The person who caught it was wearing a Mets jersey which seemed inappropriate. He was on his way to Australia and decided to catch a Giants game before he left. |
| 6:47
| Who stops in San Francisco on their way to Australia if they live in New York? Is that the prescribed route? Ben has never been but he knows Buzz has been. |

| The Cubs look to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Astros tonight in Houston. Carlos Zambrano takes the hill for the Cubs against Roy Oswalt. |
| 6:49
| The last time Carlos Zambrano beat the Astros manager Phil Garner-one of the ugliest men in baseball-said he wanted to put a voodoo curse on the pitcher. That seems sort of racist to Ben. |
| 6:50
| Ben caught some of Steve Stone's guest broadcast with Hawk Harrelson last night during the Sox game and it was incredibly good. Ben's not just saying that because he's in love with the Stone Pony either. |
| 6:51
| Steve Stone knows how Ben feels about him, hence the restraining order. |

| If you fly from New York to Perth, Australia it's over 12,000 miles traveling over the Atlantic. If you travel from New York to Brisbane over the Pacific it's 9,000 miles. |

| Buzz recalls being in first class when he flew to Australia with Johnny B. He probably wanted to take the Atlantic route. |

| Steve saw Matt out at the house today when he was leaving but he's not sure why he was there. |
| 7:03
| Matt was just hanging out. He woke up this morning not too far from the house. That also happened to Steve. |
| 7:04
| When Steve was out for his run he thought Matt Dahl drove by him but he said he didn't. How many red Beetles are out there? |
| 7:05
| If Matt would have seen Steve he would have offered him a ride because he was drenched in sweat. Steve was so sweaty he had to take his shirt off which he doesn't like to do. |
| 7:06
| Steve heard Matt talking about joining a gym last night. He's recommending his club across the street even though it's hot as hell in there. Matt's 22 though, he should join the East Bank Club. |
| 7:07
| The East Bank Club has a nap room, similar to the one Brendan used last week. Steve's in the process of joining the Union League Club just to have access to the nap room. |
