| 2:10
| Steve would like to press Buzz into service right off the bat. Can he do a newscast? Not really but he'd like for Buzz to look out on the water. |
| 2:11
| He might notice that boat pushing the big barge. That's Steve's guacamole for the day. The guy is waiting to make a u-turn and bring it in. |
| 2:12
| Steve loves watching industrial shipping, it makes him feel like he's in Gulfport, Louisiana. He and Buzz are going shrimping later then they'll come back and nail some chicks. |
| 2:13
| Everyone in the audience seems a little underwhelmed to be here but the show is just getting started. They might just be shocked by Buzz's white jeans. |
| 2:14
| They're actually an off-white and they're 20 years old. They still fit too. All of Steve's clothes from 20 years ago fits him too. He loves the tight Hawaiian shirt/sweat pants/slip-on Vans look. |
| 2:15
| The band is just arriving now. Right before the show started Buzz saw them unloading and mistook Steve for one of their roadies. |
| 2:16
| Steve has a 60 foot long tour bus all to himself but Buzz is welcome to use the bathroom there. Buzz actually used the bathroom in Papi Chulo's. |
| 2:17
| At the bottom of the urinal was an advertisement for some sort of Carson Daly special on MTV. Steve tried to pioneer urinal advertising when he was at The Loop but no one listened to him. |
| 2:18
| Steve's not kidding, he was in Larry Wert's office everyday talking about urinal advertising, he had price lists for screen printing and everything. |
| 2:19
| Buzz was a little disappointed that the urinal advertisement wasn't for the station or the show, maybe a nice picture of Steve with a bullseye on his face. |
| 2:20
| There are a lot of advertisements for the station and the show in and around Papi Chulo's. When Steve was on his way there were signs posted along the street as if he was going to an open house but he was the open house. It was very helpful though because Steve got lost on the way. |
| 2:21
| Buzz just yelled for a guy named Tony although he's not sure who he is. Steve didn't meet anyone named Tony but he did meet someone named Shadow. Who he'd really like to meet is the girl working the beer cart. |
| 2:22
| Kelly is the one featured in all of the ads for Papi Chulo's, probably because she's good looking. Kelly thinks Steve is good looking too, she's never seen him in person. |
| 2:23
| A giant fire as broken out to the right of the stage. Steve assumes that's for a barbecue unless we're having a cremation. |
| 2:26
| That break was just long enough for Steve to eat a Papi Chulo's hamburger. Joining Steve now is Shadow from Papi Chulo's. |
| 2:27
| Steve also had a boat in addition to his bus. Buzz can have the boat to himself or they can both share the bus and the boat. |
| 2:28
| Shadow is one of 4 owners of Papi Chulo's. They bought it 2 years ago and started cleaning it up. What was it before that a funky, old marina? |
| 2:29
| Funky Old Marina, wasn't that the name of a song? Steve's try to remember who sang Funky Cold Medina. All he knows is Sir Mix-a-Lot. |
| 2:30
| Steve wants Buzz to know that the advertisement for the Carson Daly show on MTV is three years old. That's too bad because Buzz was making plans to watch it this weekend. |
| 2:31
| Someone at the bar found that advertisement and had their janitorial company put it in. So if Steve wants his face on a urinal advertisement he just has to go to a janitorial company. |
| 2:32
| How about something like Steve's face and then him saying "hey I don't mean to look up but nice package!" Actually, we have to do that, where's Drew. |
| 2:33
| To find Drew, look for the pirate headband. There's one guy who's pulling that look off but it's not Drew. |
| 2:34
| All of the slips at Papi Chulo's are full which is nice. Steve needs to get involved with an in-and-out service. One of the hardest things about boating is all the stuff you have to do every time you get on your boat just to get it up and running. |
| 2:35
| Buzz is wondering if you could get from Papi Chulo's to New Buffalo. You could conceivably get from Papi Chulo's to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawrence Seaway. |
| 2:36
| The last time we did a beach party at Blarney Island everyone was so drunk and loud but everyone at Papi Chulo's is so laidback. Does Steve need to get up and walk around or something? |
| 2:37
| Buzz saw that David Hochberg was here, fresh off his appearance on the Noon Business Hour. There was Steve trying to learn something and he hears Knucklehead Smith using every cliche in the book. It's rare to hear Sherman Kaplan irritated but David did the job. |
| 2:41
| Papi Chulo means sugar daddy, not that Steve has to tell Buzz that. How many times has Buzz been someone's papi chulo in Latin American countries? That's why he vacations there. |
| 2:42
| So Steve was in his car today, as he's wont to do, listening to the Noon Business Hour. They have some knucklehead talking about loans but he doesn't sound like the normal, refined, educated, trustworthy loan expert yet he was hauntingly familiar. |
| 2:43
| David's voice did sound different though, he had dialed it into a weird timbre. Steve's GPS did start talking to him as Sherman gave him the WGN shuffle, although it was on WBBM. |
| 2:44
| Steve assumes it was David Hochberg but Sherman never said his name. He didn't even say his full name when the call ended, that's probably because he'll never be on the show again. |
| 2:45
| David said that all financial institutions should freeze their rates for 18 months which is a bold statement. Steve always listens to the NBR and he never gets agitated and then David's on. |
| 2:46
| David had a touching story about a guy who he was trying to help out last night with a loan. They were already to go but the guy still wanted to talk to his wife about it. Then this morning the bank had pulled that product. |
| 2:47
| David didn't have to pay to be on the show but Sherman started the interview off right away by saying that he was an advertiser. David wasn't on as an advertiser though. |
| 2:48
| David isn't an advertiser on WBBM-AM, they're very expensive. Is that why David's mad because he can only buy ads on this station and get a one-hour chat on WTMX's website? |
| 2:49
| Buzz got a loan from David and he was very happy with it. He's not really sure what kind of loan he got, Aimee handled all of that. Buzz just signed a few papers and that was it. |
| 2:50
| Buzz didn't know he had an emergency fund in that loan. He probably spent it all on amps or something. |
| 2:51
| Buzz didn't even really need an $8,000 loan but there he was signing the papers. |
| 2:52
| David was able to log off his chat on WTMX.com and then call into WBBM. His chat goes from 11:00 to noon but it's expanding to two hours next week. |
| 2:53
| Steve loves hearing about David spending money on another station. That hasn't made him spend any less here but maybe he needs to double down. Steve can read two ads per day. |
| 2:58
| Steve and Buzz are on the stage at Papi Chulo's forcing May or Mat Not to |
| 2:59
| Buzz road down to the broadcast with Drew and it was very eventful. Drew talked the entire time of course. They rarely get to talk to each other so Drew unloaded. Did he talk about Steve at all? |
| 3:00
| Drew and Buzz both came from Miami so there was talk about that. Does Buzz really want to hear about eating at Wolfie's? Did Drew talk about being on the air down there? |
| 3:01
| Where there cartoon thought balloons above Buzz's head in which he was choking Drew or pulling his tongue out? Buzz actually doesn't mind it at all because he doesn't have to talk. Buzz can't really repeat what was said in the car because he still needs a ride home. |
| 3:02
| Drew did stop talking to Buzz to take a phone call from David Hochberg about the Noon Business Hour. David referred to Sherman Kaplan as WBBM-AM's Steve Dahl. That doesn't sound like David that sounds like one of Drew's dead-ends. |
| 3:03
| What kind of car does Drew drive? He probably doesn't need a very big car because he's little. It didn't seem very high-end either. Does it have power windows or did Buzz have to roll them down manually? |
| 3:04
| Today's car ride was certainly a better situation then the trip back from Blarney Island where Buzz was crammed into a town car with Gabe and his wife. Gabe lost his keys this week according to an internal email but Steve doesn't even know who he is. If he did find his keys he wouldn't know who to give them to. |
| 3:05
| Gabe's wife is very nice though, her and Buzz got along quite well. Was Drew sitting up front on a phone book, asking the driver if he could wear his hat. |
| 3:06
| Drew doesn't want to say what kind of car he drives because he's worried people will vandalize it. That'll just make people want to vandalize it more becuase he's so difficult to get along with. |
| 3:07
| Buzz is supposed to ride back with Drew if he doesn't scoot out of here early. Buzz's back-up plan is Ed Silha. In a perfect world Buzz would just get into his Porsche and drive away. |
| 3:08
| Steve has a Porsche, he can give Buzz a ride home if he'd like. That's not really the kind of Porsche Buzz is thinking of. So now he's going to make fun of Steve's car? |
| 3:09
| Buzz likes Steve's car but he's thinking more of a 911. He had a Porsche 914 but it never made it out of Florida. |
| 3:10
| Would Steve or Buzz really want something like a 911? It would take them forever just to get out of it. They'd have to roll themselves out. |
| 3:11
| Steve wouldn't want a 911 because it would only be a summer car. He can barely remember to change the tires on his car from winter to summer, he doesn't need a car he can only drive in the summer. |
| 3:12
| Steve likes his car but now that he's under court supervision he can't really drive that fast. |
| 3:13
| Live read: Cheeseburger in Paradise |
| 3:17
| It's really easy to find Papi Chulo's if you're in the area. Just follow the signs with the cartoon of Steve on them. It was very weird for Steve to be following signs that featured a cartoon of himself. |
| 3:18
| May or May Not is here and they're still setting up in the hot sun. They have a gig tonight if they don't die from the heat. We'll keep them hydrated. |
| 3:19
| Steve also has a bike to giveaway from My Bike of Tinley Park. The last time there was a giveaway at Blarney Island some guy complained that he didn't hear his name called and then he fired off about a thousand emails to Steve and Adam. |
| 3:20
| Steve wants to talk to Adam about the fight he and Jill had over the signs at the broadcast. You hate to hear about something like that but on the other hand you do. |
| 3:21
| Buzz saw Adam and Jill unloading signs from the Free FM van. That right there is the first problem, the van still says Free FM. You'd think Drew would have taken care of all of that before he dropped The Package on everyone but he doesn't even have the logo finished. Turns out know one we know around here who works for $5 an hour can draw a package. |
| 3:22
| First of all, kudos on the signs leading to Papi Chulo's. While driving down there Jill told Adam she wanted WCKG to own that place. |
| 3:23
| Adam isn't aware of any fight between him and Jill. Steve was told there was a spat by Drew. This is like talking to Pete. If Adam doesn't tell Steve then we'll hear Jill's side of the story. Steve can protect Adam if that's what he's worried about. |
| 3:24
| The new kid from promotions who was at Lollapalooza is not here today, he has the day off. Day off?! He just started! Where's Jill at, get her up here! |
| 3:25
| Adam makes Pete look like Chris Farley. Pete's convivial compared to him. Here's Jill now, she was inside cooling off. |
| 3:26
| Jill wouldn't say it was a fight between her and Adam. But it was something. Steve and Buzz aren't judgmental, she can tell them what happened. Well they are judgmental but she should still tell him. |
| 3:27
| Jill was trying to hang up the big banner behind Steve on stage. The first banner that was hung had the old FM Talk logo so they had to get that one down. Budweiser had it left from Blarney Island so they hung it. It's not there fault, how can they keep up with all of our changing logos? We still have a Free FM van. |
| 3:28
| Then Jill needed a staple gun and some interns to put the banner up. Did she staple Adam in the butt or something? |
| 3:29
| How much do we spend per remote on a banner? Jill spent over $300 for Papi Chulo's. Buzz is wondering why we can't go with the black & white. |
| 3:30
| Jill did hear about Steve's urinal marketing campaign and she thinks it's great but is that something Steve wants people doing on him? Steve's fine with it, people have been doing that to him in one form or another for his entire career. |
| 3:31
| Some dude just wandered up on stage but luckily Adam is working point on security. |
| 3:36
| Steve is returning from his bus where he was using the bathroom. He ran into Bill, one of the co-owners of the marina. Turns out Steve's known him for years, small world. |
| 3:37
| Steve and Bill used to frequent the same Mexican restaurant. That was back in Steve's drinking days, it was a straight shot home. |
| 3:38
| Kudos to Adam for getting that guy off the stage though. When a little guy comes up to you like that you never know what to expect. Anything could happen. |
| 3:39
| Adam doesn't even want to tell Steve what happened with that guy either. He just wanted to say hello to Steve which is fine but not during the broadcast. |
| 3:40
| Live read: Arby's |
| 3:47
| Before we get to May or May Not Steve has a question for Jill. Does she teach some sort of martial arts class for the people in promotions? |
| 3:48
| Adam just bounced that guy off the stage and then Jill bounced those hip-hop guys from Steve's dressing room at North Beach. |
| 3:49
| Steve just saw Buzz talking to Ed and David from The Little Guys. He's still working on the sound system for his house. So he's what, 4 or 5 years from actually pulling the trigger on it? By the time Buzz gets his system everyone will have chips installed in their head for surround sound. |
| 3:50
| Joining Steve and Buzz are May or May Not. Zaid is playing some sort of synthesizer with a tape loop in it. If Steve had only saved all of his stuff from when he was in a band it'd be worth a million dollars. |
| 3:51
| Everyone in the band is from Madison, Wisconsin except one guy from Grand Rapids. They all came to Chicago to make it big. |
| 3:52
| May or May Not is playing at the Double Door tonight if they don't die from heat exhaustion. Both of their albums are on iTunes where Steve just purchased them. |
| 3:53
| May or May Not perform Cinnamon Girls. |
| 3:56
| That's a new song from May or May Not's forthcoming album. Steve and Buzz love the vibraslap, it's a great instrument. |
| 3:57
| Buzz's shades broke and he held the two parts up to Tina. She just said "what do you want me to do about it?!" Good to have her here! |
| 3:58
| Tina actually super glued Buzz's glasses together last week even though he didn't think that was the way to go. That's why he was holding up the glass to her. |
| 3:59
| Steve apologizes to Tina, that seemed like an unnecessary taunt from Buzz. She's almost in tears now. Maybe Buzz could get another loan from David Hochberg and buy himself a new pair of sunglasses. |
| 4:00
| May or May Not perform Garbage Can. |
| 4:03
| That song is also from the new album, Kaleidoscope of Egos. That's what Steve and Buzz call this show and there's only two of them. |
| 4:04
| Steve talked to Luke Stuckmeyer and he said there's nothing going on. There's a rumor, first reported by Bruce Levine, that the Cubs might trade for Scott Podsednik. |
| 4:05
| Bruce is a bit of a schmuck but he knows his baseball so it's probably true. They do need a lead-off hitter with Soriano on the DL. |
| 4:06
| The Sox lost last night, breaking Steve's heart again. He was at the game with Mike Dahl. |
| 4:07
| Steve thought he'd come to an agreement with Ed Farmer that he and Chris wouldn't throw t-shirts at him but last night someone sent one towards their seats. |
| 4:08
| This time Steve could have caught it but then Mike reached in front of him. Steve didn't care because it's a Score t-shirt and he can probably get one if he really wants one. Then the guy in back of him asked why he didn't catch it. |
| 4:09
| Steve was surrounded by a lot of chaches last night. It's getting to the point in the season where season ticket holders start giving their seats to people at work. Those people have never been in those seats so they're all completely hammered. |
| 4:10
| There was a really irritating Indians fan sitting behind Steve with a Princeton haircut, just like Steve had when he was 10! He was saying really stupid stuff about guys on the Indians too. |
| 4:11
| There were also some Sox fans behind Steve who didn't seem to know too much about the team since they were wondering where Iguchi was. Then there was some little kid who kept jumping over the fence into Steve's section and he has to answer for not catching the t-shirt and Mike Dahl is getting up in his face because he caught it. |
| 4:15
| Steve and Buzz are at Papi Chulo's which is located in the lovely Hegewisch District. Buzz has always wanted to be there! |
| 4:16
| Where did the Hegewisch lady go? She had Hegewisches for Steve and Buzz. Bernadette is from the Hegewisch Chamber of Commerce. |
| 4:17
| In Hegewisch they refer to it as Chicago's best kept secret. It's on the far Southside just near the Indiana border. Steve remembers Hegewisch record which is no longer located in Hegewisch. |
| 4:18
| Back in the 80s there was a guy who worked at the IRS who was a fan of Steve. He was getting Steve's quarterly withholding checks and putting them in his drawer, thinking he was doing him a favor. |
| 4:19
| The guy quit to work at Hegewisch Records and the new guy found the checks when he started. Next think Steve knew there was an orange sticker on his house. Luckily he had a weekend of Teenage Radiation gigs which helped pay the IRS back. |
| 4:20
| Steve doesn't want to tie that to Hegewisch though, he's just free-forming. As far as he knows he's never been to Hegewisch but it's very nice. A lot of people were calling the Chamber of Commerce wondering where it was because they were coming to see Steve. |
| 4:21
| Ed and David from The Little Guys are here. David of course greeted Steve with a "hey man" which is another $1000 for Steve. |
| 4:22
| What kind of shoes is David working today? He doesn't think Steve will like them, they're Cubs shoes. Where does he get this stuff? |
| 4:23
| David's gotta feel pretty good the Cubs right now. They lost 4 in a row but they came back fine last night. |
| 4:24
| David would be OK with Scott Podsednik coming to the Cubs. It would kill the argument with Ed from yesterday where he said there wasn't a guy on the Sox who could start for the Cubs. |
| 4:25
| There are still some items left over from the tent sale but the tent is gone. They have had some really hot weather during past tent sales which makes it hard to get a sales guy out there. |
| 4:26
| Steve got an email from David yesterday about the new DirecTV HD TiVos. That's exactly what Steve is looking for except it won't receive all HD channels. |
| 4:27
| On the phone is Ed Farmer. All those highlights were from Wednesday night but it seems like more than 2 days ago to Ed. |
| 4:28
| Mike Dahl did catch a t-shirt from Ed last night and then the guy in back of Steve asked why he didn't catch him. |
| 4:29
| Did Ed just hear David Wexler say that The Little Guys were selling a 42" plasma for $200. That's cheap! |
| 4:30
| Don Cooper shops at The Little Guys. He doesn't really shop he just goes in there and gets what he wants and puts it under his arm. |
| 4:31
| The Cubs claimed Scott Podsednik off waivers but that doesn't mean a trade will happen. Almost every player goes on waivers and it's often just to test the waters. You don't have to trade a guy you put on waivers. |
| 4:32
| If you take a guy off waivers you can't put him on them again or else you'll lose him for a player to be named later. Then that will have to be a guy from the minors. |
| 4:33
| A few years ago the Pirates GM forgot to take guys off waivers and they were claimed by the Phillies. Behind the scenes the Phillies GM told the Pirates they were willing to make a trade to save face. |
| 4:34
| It makes sense to do that for the Phillies though because they might have to deal with the Pirates down the line. Something similar happen with the Sox and Phillies this year. |
| 4:35
| The Sox traded Freddy Garcia to the Phillies then he got hurt. When Chase Utley went down the Sox sent Iguchi to the Phillies and made room for Danny Richar. There probably weren't many other teams wiling to help the Phillies with a second baseman. |
| 4:36
| Steve likes that Richar kid. He seems to be learning as he goes along this season. Steve doesn't like Juan Uribe though, it's time to get rid of him. |
| 4:37
| Ed saw on the news this morning that a Chicago cop gave the Weinermobile a parking ticket. How does that get the same ticket as Ed's car which isn't 30 feet long? Ed's car is shaped like a sausage though. |
| 4:38
| Buzz loves the current events that catch Ed's eye. He should talk to city hall about that. |
| 4:39
| Steve will not be at any games this weekend. Terry Armour has his tickets for tonight and he gave his Saturday tickets to a charity. |
| 4:40
| The Sox play the Mariners this weekend and then go on the road to Oakland and Seattle. Ichiro is going to be sad that his buddy Iguchi isn't on the team any more. |
| 4:41
| Steve could have sworn he saw Iguchi's interpreter in the dugout the other night. They can't get rid of that guy! Every picture you see from the World Series he's in it high-fiving someone. |
| 4:42
| That's actually a different interpreter than the one he has now who went with him to the Phillies. |
| 4:46
| May or May Not is down on what Steve likes to call the performance deck. He just started calling it that. |
| 4:47
| Steve feels guilty because the band is out in the sun and he and Buzz are in the shade. He'll go out into the sun for the performance. |
| 4:48
| Some people are yelling something at Steve and he doesn't know what they're saying so he's just going to ignore it. During the break some dude came up on stage and said "you look old". Thanks for coming on stage! |
| 4:49
| May or May Not is playing at the Double Door tonight. Steve has the band introduce themselves. |
| 4:50
| May or May Not perform Oh What a Spectacle. |
| 4:57
| It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve doesn't hear the music though. He probably could eat without the music but what the heck? |
| 4:58
| Today Steve's having the Grande Quesadilla which is a quesadilla on the panadero bread. It also comes in the wrapper with the window on it. |
| 4:59

| 5:00
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 5:01
| Officials are sure unsure about the fate of trapped miners in Utah. A shaft was dug, a mic was dropped in and nothing was heard. What if they heard a guy going "one, two, one, two" and then a kick drum? |
| 5:02
| They did acknowledge that they could have dropped the microphone in the wrong hole. |
| 5:03
| Today is National S'mores Day. S'mores were invented 80 years ago by Girl Scouts. Steve didn't know that. |
| 5:04
| Are Girl Scouts selling cookies year-round now? Steve sees them all the time in his neighborhood or in front of stores. Half the time he's worried it's a To Catch a Predator sting operation. |
| 5:05
| Lisa Nowak is asking a Florida judge to remove her electric monitoring bracelet |
| 5:06
| AT & T is apologizing for the recent censoring of Pearl Jam during a Lollapalooza webcast. Steve was wondering about that because he watched the webcast. They cut out some stuff but there was still enough there where you got the point of what Eddie was saying. |
| 5:07
| The band is more upset that AT & T censored lyrics to a song about George Bush, particularly "George Bush, live this planet alone." Is that supposed to be live or leave? |
| 5:08
| Buzz might notice that there are several people talking really loudly right now but the loudest of them all is Drew Hayes, who's talking to a young lady. Busted! |
| 5:09
| Buzz has to say that if he were in Drew's place he'd be doing the same thing. Of course he takes Drew's side! That girl looks like an animal caught in a trap. |
| 5:10
| That poor girl's just there to see Steve but Drew won't stop talking to her. The only way she's going to get out of this is if she chews her leg off. He's the loudest guy out there, listen to him. |
| 5:15
| Steve still has to play a few of his songs for the Dahlfins ticket giveaway. He also has to talk to the guy from LandShark Lager. Hopefully he wasn't the guy who yelled "say something funny" |
| 5:16
| Actually it's the LandShark Lager girl. Rosio Arrevalo is from the LandShark Lager distributorship. |
| 5:17
| LandShark Lager is doing really well, people seem to like it. Buzz loves the LandShark Lager surf board with the big bite in it. |
| 5:18
| Buzz must never come to Steve's office because his guitar and that surfboard are both in his office. |
| 5:24
| Steve's going to play one of his songs which will trigger the Dahlfins ticket giveaway. Remember to call the contest line at (312) 565-WCKG, not the content line. |
| 5:25
| The next show is August 18th at the Fuel Room in Libertyville. Buzz will be there doing the same song as he's done at the last 3 gigs. It's a very popular song, almost too popular. |
| 5:26
| Steve performs Aloha Friday. |
| 5:29
| Why is David Hochberg up on stage, didn't we already do his segment? It's like a nightmare that keeps happening over and over again. |
| 5:30
| David does a lot of remotes on the Townstone Financial show for some unknown reason so this is probably nothing for him. |
| 5:31
| You might have heard David on the Townstone Financial show blowing Sherman Kaplan's mind when he said that all financial institutions should freeze their rates for 18 months. Sherman basically hung up on David. |
| 5:32

| 5:33
| This is the Eric and Kathy copy that Steve is going to ignore. He was doing a good job of it but at some point he couldn't help himself. |
| 5:39
| Steve imagines that the party will rage on at Papi Chulo's after he and Buzz have left. |
| 5:40
| Steve is so hot and sticky that his hands are sticking to his guitar. Every time he tries to play a chord he loses skin. |
| 5:41
| Steve performs Margarita. |
| 5:45
| Joining Steve now are Jim and Danny Gierczyk. Danny didn't think Steve would remember his name but he did. |
| 5:46
| Danny just wanted to say that his wife is the best thing that ever happened to him. He was supposed to be at home babysitting today. |
| 5:47
| Buzz thought the Gierczyk's owned New Buffalo. It seems like they do when you're driving through there. They're still waiting for Buzz to come up there. |
| 5:48
| How about tonight for the Ship & Shore dinner at the yacht club? Steve's boat is ready to go. |
| 5:49
| When Buzz's daughter was born 6 years ago he found a picture of the ugly baby that the Gierczyk's use on their billboards. He slipped it in with the rest of the baby photos which would always surprise someone going through them. Then he told Piper it was her long-lost brother. That's not traumatizing at all. |
| 5:50
| The new casino just opened up in New Buffalo and Jimmy can hook Steve up. He can get him a comped dinner for sure tonight. |
| 5:51
| Jimmy has all the paperwork for the new train station and he should start building by next week. At first there will only be one stop per day as a test and then they'll increase it from there. |
| 5:52
| Will they be able to cater the schedule to Steve's needs? |
| 5:53
| Jimmy and Danny really want to see Buzz up in New Buffalo. Steve doesn't think it'll ever happen. |
| 5:54
| Buzz is planning on bringing the little lady up to New Buffalo at some point, they'll need to talk to her all about that. |
| 5:55
| Steve has the feeling that the Gierczyk's could sell Aimee something. Is Buzz just playing hard to get, is that why he hasn't gone up there yet? |
| 5:56
| Buzz doesn't look cagey but he is. |
| 6:01
| News with Buzz |
| 6:02
| No sounds are coming from a Utah mine where 5 people are believed to be trapped. |
| 6:03
| Three construction workers are confirmed dead after falling into a mine in Indiana. |
| 6:04
| Dive teams have pulled a 9th body out of the water under the wreckage of a Minneapolis bridge. |
| 6:05
| Stocks plummeted over 200 points today but rallied before the closing bell. |
| 6:06
| Space Shuttle Endeavor has docked with the International Space Station. The first of 4 spacewalks will occur tomorrow. Are they going to be drunk spacewalks because that would be awesome. |
| 6:07
| A Colorado man had his thumbs surgically altered so he could better grip and maneuver his new iPhone. Steve has an iPhone, it's not that hard to use. Plus what is he going to do when they change the design? |
| 6:09
| It's time to give away the bicycle. Joining Steve and Buzz are Jerry and Brian from Harbor Country Bikes and My Bike. |
| 6:10
| The bike Steve's giving away is a woman's Electra bike. It's Granny Smith green which is very hip. |
| 6:11
| Steve has a man's Electra bike but he's thinking of upgrading to something with more gears. |
| 6:12
| Riding a bike is a pretty good work out but you go really far in a half hour. Steve forgot to turn around and he was miles from home. |
| 6:13
| That's when you need an electric bike, just turn on the engine if you're too tired to go back home. That seems sort of pointless but also pretty cool. |
| 6:14
| Janet wanted a bike like that but Steve was able to discourage her from getting it. He didn't want to be out riding with that thing. It's a very nice bike though. |
| 6:15
| Buzz loves the bike but he can't be seen on a woman's model. They can get him a nice black one with flames on it or something. |
| 6:16
| Alright the winner of the bike is Bob McHale. And the crowd goes wild! Bob's going to try to pass it off as a present for his wife's 37th birthday. |
| 6:17
| Based on what Steve knows about women he doesn't think Bob's going to be able to do that but best of luck. |
| 6:18
| Bob is a long time fan and he's always wanted to meet Steve. He actually lives in Hegewisch so his wife could probably ride the bike home. |
| 6:19
| Bob was also at the North Beach show in Downers Grove. It's a bit of a hike from Hegewisch but it was worth hit. |
| 6:20
| Steve's going to be off in a couple of weeks so he'll stop by the bike shop in New Buffalo and have his gears changed if you'll pardon the expression. |
| 6:21
| Steve's going to play another song but he has to strap up so Buzz will have to talk to the crowd. He was going to play a new song but that would require a capo which is in the bus cooling off. |
| 6:22
| Live read: Racine Boat Show |
| 6:24
| Steve's been working on this new song and he's played it at a few of the Dahlfins gigs so far. |
| 6:25
| Steve performs Older But Wiser. |
| 6:35
| The sun is finally starting to go down and there's a nice breeze picking up. It's the same sun that most listeners are seeing so they can probably just look up in the sky and see that. |
| 6:36
| Steve has some sports if Buzz is interested. The Cubs are in Colorado to take on the Rockies. Jason Marquis takes the mound for the Cubs. |
| 6:37
| There are both boos and cheers for the Cubs, the LandShark Lager must really be kicking in. The kid who cheered looks pretty young so it can't be the beer. |
| 6:38
| Aramis Ramirez rejoined the Cubs today. An MRI revealed a fluid build-up in his wrist. He'll likely return to the line-up on Sunday or Tuesday. |
| 6:39
| The White Sox open a series against the Mariners at U.S. Cellular tonight. Jose Contreras will remain in the bullpen until next week, when he's scheduled to be shot. |
| 6:40
| Rex Grossman and the Bears have their first pre-season tomorrow in Houston against the Texans. |
| 6:41
| Is there anything else Buzz wants to know about sports? Buzz wants to know how Ben Gay is doing. |
| 6:42
| Steve's not doing that here, he'll get beat up in the parking lot by some ironworkers. |
| 6:43
| Steve's going to do one more song but it won't be a contest song. So far it's been going well but there's been a moment during every song when he realizes that he's playing a song. |
| 6:44
| Steve performs Tropical Drink Song. |
| 6:52
| That's Dominique of Dominique and the Chocolates that Buzz is looking at. Dominique emailed Steve to tell him that her and her girlfriends would be at the broadcast hanging out but she hasn't shown herself until now. |
| 6:53
| Dominique told Steve that her and her girlfriends would hang out by him and he'd look like Hugh Hefner. Now she doesn't want to be on the air but that's fine because Steve's almost done here. |
| 6:54
| Steve was going to say hi to Matt and Brendan see how they are. It's Fry Daddy Friday at the Matt Dahl Show. |
| 6:55
| There are some mini tacos at Papi Chulo's which Steve might have to have to take the edge off. For some reason mini tacos always taste like Jack-in-the-Box. Steve can smell them right now. |
| 6:56
| Buzz is wondering if Matt and Brendan would like to stop by for some beignets tomorrow. They brought him back some beignet mix. Steve didn't get anything from New Orleans. |
| 6:57
| Matt was going to buy Steve a shirt, probably with his credit card, that featured a crawdad on the front. Upon further inspection Matt realized the shirt was of an inferior quality. |
| 6:58
| Matt and Brendan are in for beignets tomorrow. Buzz will have to make plans tonight then. The kitchen needs to be set-up when he wakes up. |
| 6:58
| Steve warns the boys not to stiff Buzz either, he'll be waiting for them in his bathrobe tomorrow, chicory coffee brewing up. |
