| Steve's looking at his iTunes just to see what incarnation of Van Halen he likes. |
| 2:04
| Steve has 10 Van Halen songs, 6 of them sung by Sammy Hagar. Steve agrees with Stan, Sammy was better than Dave. |
| 2:05
| Terry didn't know the name of Van Halen's bass player even though he claims he's a big Van Halen fan. You don't often hear two black guys talking about Van Halen, let alone arguing about who was better, Roth or Hagar. |
| 2:06
| Steve has nothing against David Lee Roth but he used to beat him up when they were in 4th grade together. |
| 2:07
| The reunited Van Halen hasn't done any shows yet so Steve won't believe it until he sees it. There was a failed attempt at a reunion a couple of years ago and they might have even recorded a new album. |
| 2:08
| Eddie was fresh out of rehab during the first failed reunion. That's probably why it didn't happen, it's hard to go on the road right out of rehab. |
| 2:09
| Eddie's son Wolfgang is now in Van Halen so he'll also be touring with them. Having your son around might not keep you in check though. |
| 2:12
| Song: Long Tall Sally, Little Richard |
| 2:14
| That's Little Richard right? It doesn't say the artist on the screen, just the song name. Pete just assumed Steve knew who it was. |
| 2:15
| You know who it is until you're on the air and you have to say who it is. Then if you get it wrong you get a hundred phone calls from people outraged that you thought it was Otis Redding and not Little Richard. |
| 2:16
| That song was at the end of the finale of John From Cincinnati. The show was canceled this morning and Steve's fine with it. He's going to bring Jim and Pete in on this too. |
| 2:17
| In case Jim needs to know for logging purposes, that was Little Richard singing Long Tall Sally. |
| 2:18
| Jim was very despondent this morning when he found out John From Cincinnati was canceled. It definitely felt like a story arc to Steve, the last episode felt like the end. |
| 2:19
| Steve still thinks the show didn't take off because it premiered right after the last episode of The Sopranos. The marketing wasn't very good either. Jim remembers seeing makeshift missing persons posters taped to those plastic boxes for free newspapers. Those aren't the kind of people you want to market to. |
| 2:20
| Jim's just going to miss the weekly TV talks with Steve and Pete. There are other shows coming up to talk about like Heroes. Steve still hasn't seen the last 5 episodes of Heroes. |
| 2:21
| Steve was waiting until right before the new season to watch the last 5 episodes. He also hasn't watched the last 4 or 5 episodes of Rescue Me. He's going Buzz Kilman on everyone's ass, he's stocking up on TV shows, they're a valuable asset. |
| 2:25
| Steve got Pete some peaches from the farmer's market today. He can come in and share some now since there will be no Music Snob Corner on Thursday. |
| 2:26
| The show will be in Bourbonnais and Steve prefers to have Pete in studio where he can keep an eye on him. He can get very squirrelly, even if he's just next door. |
| 2:27
| For show purposes Steve will eat a peach even though he doesn't like them. He doesn't like anything with fur or fuzz on them. Buzz loves peaches so he'll have one as well. He should pick out his own because Steve doesn't want to manhandle his peaches. |
| 2:28
| Buzz grabbed a peach and then put it back. He Brian Wilsoned it. It feels like a very good peach to Pete. Steve's is very juicy, it seems like it should be eaten over a sink. |
| 2:29
| Buzz isn't going to be able to eat his if it's messy. Of course he wouldn't. Steve might have to stop eating his. Pete sounds like he's doing foley work for a movie. |
| 2:30
| Steve doesn't normally like peaches because they're always hard. He likes peach ice cream though. Steve had a revelation over the weekend in New Buffalo. |
| 2:31
| Normally get gets a cherry vanilla ice cream at a local place but he realized that he really only likes the cherries. So he decided to cut out the ice cream and just eat the cherries. |
| 2:32
| So Steve was snacking on cherries all weekend and they were really good. It made him realize there must be a God because who else would make something like a cherry? |
| 2:33
| Every fruit has a moment throughout the year when they taste perfect. Buzz had that moment recently with some green seedless grapes. |
| 2:34
| Steve did actually go to the farmer's market today. There's not much down there though and today there was a horrid rock band playing very loudly. They played until about 1:30 and they were really loud, plus it was bouncing off all the buildings down here. |
| 2:35
| Mark Czerniec needs to call in because he's taking Steve into a cherry odyssey. Mark also seems like the type who's really into fruit, with his own garden and dreams of planting fruit-bearing trees. |
| 2:36
| Pete tried to leave the studio when Mark was calling in. He's probably worried about the studio becoming too crowded. |
| 2:37
| Michigan is one of the main producers of Emperor Francis cherries so that could be what Steve is eating. Steve's wondering if they could also be Napoleon or Schmidt cherries. That's why Steve needs Mark, to do all the heavy lifting, then he can just tip it in. |
| 2:38
| Mark doesn't have a very big garden but he is growing tomatoes. Not just any tomatoes either, heirloom tomatoes. They're on the verge of extinction. |
| 2:39
| Caller Rich just returned from Seattle, Washington and wanted to recommend the Rainier cherries. Steve's had them and they're great but very expensive. |
| 2:40
| Rich just got done gorging on Rainier cherries. Do we really need to know all that? Steve's not Rich's doctor is he? |
| 2:43
| Steve did eat that entire peach. He can't remember the last time he did that but it was darn good. It must really be a farmer's market down there. |
| 2:44
| Steve did see some baked goods down there but they seem horribly out of place. Buzz loves baked good and has to stay away from the farmer's market or else he'll buy everything. |
| 2:45
| Last year Buzz got way too deep into the snickerdoodles at the farmer's market. He inquired about their recipe and origin. Those must have been good cookies to make Buzz have a friendly conversation with a stranger. |
| 2:46
| There was also a whole fake cheese table set up. There's no way that one guy could have made all that cheese, plus they all had different labels on them. |
| 2:47
| That farmer's market might be the same one that goes all over the city throughout the summer. They really play up that their farmers in their overalls and DeKalb hats. |
| 2:48
| Steve might have to go back next week and get more peaches. |
| 2:49
| Song: Love Walks In, Van Halen |
| 2:53
| Steve likes Van Halen with Sammy Hagar best, the tunes are better. It seems like the songs Sammy wrote on the piano were their best. |
| 2:54
| Buzz is a big fan of Sammy Hagar just because of his appearance on the show. Then he went back and listened more closely to Van Halen and determined he also prefers Sammy Hagar. |
| 2:55
| That being said Buzz is also a Diamond Dave fan, but only when he's singing. Who's idea was it to give him a radio show? Steve could have told those people it was a bad idea and probably saved a few people their jobs. |
| 3:01
| Diamond Dave was really cracking people up at the Van Halen press conference. When Steve was in 4th grade with Dave he beat him up every day. Steve likes to think it toughened Dave up. |
| 3:02
| When Steve hears a clip from that press conference he wants to beat him up again. He was just as annoying then as he is now. |
| 3:03
| If you ever look through Dave's autobiography-although Steve doesn't know why you would-you'll see his class photo from 4th grade featuring Steve. |
| 3:04
| There was one time when Dave filled in for Mitch Michaels and Greg Solk engineered the show. Greg said that Dave had liquid cocaine in an Affrin dispenser which Steve thought was pretty ingenious. |
| 3:05
| There's also a good David Lee Roth/coke story at the beginning of the Motley Crue book. Apparently he wouldn't share any. |
| 3:06
| Steve hasn't seen Dave in a long time. The last time Steve saw him Dave acted like he barely remembered him. Steve was a bully but Dave had it coming. |
| 3:07
| Dave was a big dork who wore a jacket with a crest on it to school everyday and he also used to beat up on another kid. So it was a righteous beating, Steve was defending the other kid. |
| 3:08
| Steve has a few letters to read as you can tell from the Mailbag Intro. The first one's subject line is "urinal mat". The listener heard Steve and Buzz talking about a urinal mat advertisement with Snoop Dogg. This guy wants to know where it was, it's very important to him. |
| 3:09
| It wasn't Snoop Dogg, it was a three-year old ad for Carson Daly on some MTV show. It was at Papi Chulo's though. Buzz remembers someone mentioning Snoop Dogg. |
| 3:10
| Steve doesn't remember that but he's going to call our archivist, Jim. Jim doesn't remember it either but Snoop Dogg was mentioned yesterday during the Flava Flav/Comedy Central roast discussion. |
| 3:11
| It doesn't seem like Snoop Dogg would allow his likeness to be put on a urinal mat. R. Kelly maybe but not Snoop. |
| 3:12
| The next emailer wanted to send Steve some Bacon Salt, after hearing yesterday's discussion with the salt snob. He'd like to know if it's OK to send the Bacon Salt and when Steve receives it. |
| 3:13
| Steve doesn't really want everything he eats to taste like bacon. If he wants something that tastes like bacon he'll eat bacon. This guy says that he quit his job at Microsoft after he invented Bacon Salt. |
| 3:14
| Steve's willing to try the Bacon Salt just to see what it tastes like. It comes in three flavors including original, which must be the bacon flavor. |
| 3:15
| Steve doesn't really see the need for Bacon Salt but he'll try it. If you want something that tastes like bacon, put bacon on it. |
| 3:16
| Caller Tony is not down for Bacon Salt. Steve would rather have Bacon Bits, at least it'll break up the consistency of his eggs. |
| 3:17
| Tony thinks the reference to Snoop Dogg that Steve might be looking for is when David from The Little Guys came up on stage with his Cubs shoes. |
| 3:18
| Tony had a great time on Friday. He was the guy who Steve autographed a poster for. |
| 3:19
| The final email is about the guy from yesterday who was disrupting Steve's run along the lake. He was a hippy guy wearing flip-flops with a shaved head. Steve really enjoys running along the lake, it doesn't even feel like workout. |
| 3:20
| There weren't a lot of chicks on Steve's route though, he might have to go north to Oak Street. |
| 3:21
| This emailer has come across the same sort of person who's always trying to keep pace with them. Then they wear themselves out trying to get ahead of the person. Steve did that yesterday too. He should have just stabbed the guy. If he'd been carrying a knife he probably would have but that would have caused a whole new set of problems. |
| 3:28
| There's nothing more delicious than bacon but it doesn't seem like bacon-flavored salt is going to get the job done. |
| 3:29
| Steve will try it though and try to be nicer about it. He really just likes salt and pepper. |
| 3:30
| Steve got into this yesterday after watching Feasting on Asphalt in which Alton Brown and a crew are riding up along the Mississippi on motorcycles. Yesterday Steve said he thought it was a Goldwing but then some guy emailed him and said "hate to quibble but he's riding a BMW" Steve's point was that it wasn't a Harley, that's it. |
| 3:31
| Then Alton and his crew were camping and he made them breakfast but threw a hissy-fit when he didn't have any salt. Then a crew guy came back with Morton's table salt and said "you won't be happy". |
| 3:32
| Then a salt snob called in and said there were many varieties of salts and you could tell from what seas they come from. He also brought up Bacon Salt. |
| 3:33
| Do you really need to quit your job with Microsoft to market Bacon Salt? It doesn't seem like it would be that hard. |
| 3:34
| Buzz recently invented something for musicians but found that the process of marketing it was very involved. He decided to just give it up. He didn't quit his radio job to market and sell his invention. |
| 3:35
| If the Bacon Salt guy is listening Steve has a tip for him. Get some to Oprah. It seems like Bacon Salt is right in her wheelhouse and if she mentions it on her show it'll totally take off. |
| 3:36
| If she likes Bacon Salt she'll mentioned it nonstop. "Coming up next women share their rape horror stories. And don't forget about Bacon Salt." She'll just put some right on Steadman. |
| 3:37
| Ironically Steve was given the gift of bacon several years in a row at Christmas by his life insurance agent. Steve was unable to control himself and ended up eating the entire slab over the course of a couple days. What kind of a life insurance sends his fat, impulse-control challenged client a large amount of bacon?! And yet, Steve is survived. The guy should send Bacon Salt to Oprah though. Her and Gail will be snorting it in their dressing room. |
| 3:43
| On the phone is Mark Schanowski from Comcast Sportsnet. The Cubs are back at Wrigley tonight and on Comcast. |
| 3:44
| The Cubs are 5-9 over that stretch of games so tonight is a big game, they need to get back on track. They're in a really weak division but they lost two of their big hitters last week. |
| 3:45
| Standby Mark, Tyrone is checking in with some traffic. Who is Buzz talking to? Is that Ski from Comcast? There's a car on fi-yah on 294 southbound at Grand. That's why Tyrone called in, he likes to say fi-yah. |
| 3:46
| The southbound lane is backed up all the way to O'Hare so you might want to avoid 294. It says the car is brown but it might not have started off that way. |
| 3:47
| Tyrone's got Billy Jack in the back of the choptater, he's giving him a ride to Bourbonnais. |
| 3:48
| Mark is impressed with the big budget of Steve's show with the news chopper. We've also got holograms or whatever else you want. |
| 3:49
| It seems like the Cubs lost a little momentum when Soriano went down. Their starting pitching is also looking shaky too. Plus Lou has decided to go with a closer by committee which is never a good sign. |
| 3:50
| The Sox are out in Oakland today. Right now they're looking towards next year and what they need to do. |
| 3:51
| The Sox could add up to 4 position players next year and second, short and in the outfield. Steve likes Danny Richar and Jerry Owens though. They might get the starting job just because it's difficult to pick up 4 veteran position players through free agency. |
| 3:52
| They should have plenty of money based on how much money they're charging Steve for tickets. |
| 3:53
| The Bears are practicing right now, they're working on several different offensive plays for Devin Hester. Mark thinks we're going to see very creative offensive play calling from the Bears this year. |
| 3:54
| Billy Jack is going to be on the show with Steve and Buzz on Friday. Mark tells Steve to ask Billy Jack about going to Dairy Queen. Tom Thayer will also be there but Steve's not sure about Joniak. |
| 3:55
| Steve saw Jeff the other day and he seemed very put-upon. He said he was very busy with training camp coming up, he didn't have time for anything else. |
| 3:56
| That's fine if Jeff wants to lay that on his wife but don't lay it on Steve. You probably have to do that at WBBM just so they'll send you out to cover it. You have to show Drew the huge workload you're taking on. |
| 4:02
| Buzz would like to stop at the Dairy Queen in Bourbonnais when he's down there. Billy Jack will probably know where it is. It seems like it wouldn't be that hard to find anything in Bourbonnais though. |

| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:05
| The Dow has closed over 200 points down. So we'll be seeing Buzz tomorrow? |
| 4:06
| Hurricane Flossie is making it's way towards Hawaii. What kind of name is that for a hurricane? |
| 4:07
| Mary Winkler could be released from the mental health facility where she's been staying as early as today. She was only there for 2 months! |
| 4:08
| Don Imus has settled his suit with CBS for $20 million. Steve read in Inside Radio that that figure was incorrect and too high. |
| 4:09
| Hopefully it's not true because $20 million is too much to give a mean old man with bad ratings who didn't fit in with the station he was on. That sounds like Steve except for the part about the bad ratings. |
| 4:10
| It's now being reported that Amy Winehouse, contrary to her popular song, will be going to rehab after an intervention from her mother. |
| 4:11
| There's been another attack on a woman in Lincoln Park but police do not believe it's connected to previous attacks in the area. |
| 4:12
| Alderman George Cardenas is proposing a tax on bottled water for the city of Chicago. People always talk about how good the drinking water is in Chicago but sometimes when the toilet in the Green Room runs there's a distinct smell of chlorine. |
| 4:13
| Steve doesn't want to drink water with chlorine in it. Instead of telling Steve he's drinking sewer water Tina should be telling Buzz he's drinking chlorine. |
| 4:14
| A Japanese biker failed to notice that his leg had been severed below the knee when he hit a safety barrier and continued to ride. He felt excruciating pain but didn't notice until he'd stopped. |
| 4:15
| Steve was doing to say that the guy should have noticed his leg had been cut off when he started going in one direction but that doesn't happen on a bike. |
| 4:16
| Those guys on bikes are insane. They think they're in a race because they need to do 200 miles in a day. Out in the suburbs they hog an entire lane of traffic. Steve always tries to get as close as he can and scare them but they don't seem scareable. |
| 4:17
| Whenever Buzz is out running he gets the feeling that the bikers are purposely trying to buzzing him. Steve gets that feeling too so he goes to the pound and releases a bunch of dogs like it's the Tour de France. The dogs find a home too and the bikers are off the streets. |
| 4:18
| They're all dressed in their biking get-ups too. Steve doesn't want to see some dude at the White Hen in biker shorts standing bow-legged and drinking Gatorade. If Steve wanted to see that he'd rent a gay porno. |
| 4:19
| Buzz was once running in the park when a biker came up behind him and yelled "on your left". Buzz panicked and stopped in his tracks. Steve probably would have gone to the left. As the guy passed he called Buzz a moron. Buzz knew that eventually the guy would have to turn around and come back towards him but he wasn't sure what he should do to the guy. |
| 4:20
| Song: Here Today, Gone To Maui, Steve Dahl and the Dahlfins |
| 4:28
| Although it led to some hilarity, the Japanese guy who lost his leg was on a motorcycle not a bike. Buzz knew that but he still had the discussion about biking with Steve. |
| 4:29
| It doesn't seem like you could lose your leg like that riding a bike. That's why Steve thought it was unusual. |
| 4:30
| Steve also thought it was unusual that the guy didn't notice he was only pedaling with one leg. |
| 4:31
| Steve was in the studio the moment he noticed a hurricane was heading towards Jamaica where he's vacationing next week. |
| 4:32
| This happens every year because Buzz goes to Jamaica very late in the year and it's in the Caribbean. Didn't Buzz cancel his trip last year and go to Lake Geneva? |
| 4:33
| Two years ago Buzz canceled his trip and he and Aimee went to Vegas because all they really wanted was a pool. Steve thought that was a good tip but Buzz and Aimee did not have a good time. |
| 4:34
| Steve did recommend the Four Seasons which does not have a casino. Last year Buzz and Aimee ended up going to Lake Geneva and they had a great time. |
| 4:35
| Buzz and Aimee have unloaded the kid for next week so no matter where they go it'll just be them. Buzz would really love to be on a beach in Jamaica. |
| 4:36
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 4:37
| New Buffalo is certainly an option for Buzz and Aimee next week. Just to make it feel more like Jamaica Steve's willing to hang out where they're staying with a machete, pretending to be their gardener. |
| 4:38
| New Buffalo is a little closer than Jamaica and the storms aren't as bad. They are fun to watch as they come over the lake though. |
| 4:39
| Didn't Jamaica get hit with a hurricane last year? Steve remembers seeing the weather report and remarking that Buzz had really bad luck planning vacations. |
| 4:40
| This can be talked about off the air but Steve can change the vacation date if Buzz wants. He did get married during hurricane season though so this is always going to be a problem. |
| 4:41
| New Buffalo is definitely an option for Buzz though. It seems like it would be a kind of paradise to him. There is a casino up there but Buzz doesn't have to go anywhere near it. |
| 4:42
| Steve has yet to visit the new casino. He needs Ron Lewis to set up a line of credit for him at the casino. Currently though, Ron is touring various colleges with his son that he won't let him attend. Sounds like a great vacation. |
| 4:47
| Buzz has gone through several changes since finding out about the hurricane possibly bearing down on Jamaica. |
| 4:48
| New Buffalo would be a happy alternative for Buzz. All he needs is a nice room, a pool and a DVD player. Actually he doesn't even need a DVD player, he has his laptop. |
| 4:49
| Steve would rent Buzz and Aimee one of his rooms but they'd have to keep it down. |
| 4:50
| Buzz had a perfect storm of bills for three vacations coming in at the same time. New Buffalo would certainly be a price break too. The only problem is that Steve and Buzz would spend the entire week trying to avoid each other. |
| 4:51
| Song: Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season, Jimmy Buffett |
| 4:55
| An airline passenger accused of yelling profanities, making crude comments and pushing a flight attendant on a flight from Chicago to Vegas has been charged in federal court. |
| 4:56
| Those flights to Vegas are always a little rough and tumble because people get hammered before they board the plane. |
| 4:57
| The flight was diverted to Denver where the man, Andy Lee Osuna, was arrested. On the flight the man was restrained with flex cuffs by two flight attendants but does not remember that. This guy needs a lawyer. |
| 4:58
| The good news about doing time in Denver is they have great omelets. According to an affidavit a flight attendant had to pull up the man's underwear and pants because his buttocks were exposed. |
| 4:59
| Buzz has no sympathy for a guy like this. Imagine if you're on the flight to Vegas and you end up in Denver because of a guy like this. Buzz would like to see him do serious jail time but he probably won't. |
| 5:00
| It seems like these people never do time in jail. You're worse off running onto a baseball field during the game than causing a flight to be diverted. |
| 5:01
| Those people drinking on flights need to pace themselves. When you fly to Vegas the plane doesn't drop you right at a casino. |
| 5:02
| It's too bad we never saw anything like this on that Airline show. On that show flight attendants would usually prevent people for boarding a plane if they were too drunk or pull them off if they'd already gotten on. |
| 5:03
| Apparently they don't have those standards for flights any more. 2 malt liquors and 5 drinks on the plane is a lot. How do you get 5 drinks before you even reach Denver? |
| 5:10
| Caller Jackie went to Vegas last October with her sister. The night before they left she decided to stay up all night drinking and gambling. |
| 5:11
| Jackie got to the airport and checked in and they just let her through. Then she passed out at her seat drooling and had to get a cab to take her home. |
| 5:12
| Sitting next to an up-all-night Jackie on a plane doesn't sound all that bad, at least until she starts drooling. |
| 5:13
| It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. It's also Taco Bell which means Buzz gets one too. Today, Steve and Buzz are both having the original hard shell taco with mild sauce. |
| 5:14
| Steve's sauce packet says "will you marry me?" and Buzz's says "will you scratch my back?" |
| 5:15
| This is the first time Buzz has had sauce on the taco. They're good without sauce but it does get heightened. It makes it a real Taco Bell experience. |
| 5:16
| Steve did not eat lunch today either so this is really hitting the spot. He's been looking forward to the Taco Bell since noon. That's 5 hours and 16 minutes, but who's counting? |
| 5:21
| Southwest certainly stopped a lot of intoxicated people from flying on TV at least. It was fun to watch people being apprehended. |
| 5:22
| Buzz remembers a group of kids getting out of control and not being allowed to fly. It might have been Boy Scouts or something. |
| 5:23
| Pete says it was a group of unruly BMX biker kids. He has total recall when it comes to that show. |
| 5:24
| Does Steve really want to take a bunch of calls from people who did bad stuff on flights and weren't apprehended? Is this the Eric & Kathy Show? |
| 5:25
| Caller Brad and his wife once stayed up for the entire night before they went on a flight, drinking and gambling. Brad's wife learned the hard way that that's a bad idea when she wore a skirt, no underwear and mooned the entire flight. |
| 5:26
| Brad's wife did it on purpose too. They were seated right by the bulkhead and she got up on her seat and mooned everyone. Hell yeah! Then the stewardess asked for his wife's phone number, possibly so they could meet for cocktails at a later date. |
| 5:27
| Is there any way Brad could get his wife hammered and bring her down here? Brad was fine with all of it because he was also drunk. The entire plane erupted in cheers and several people took pictures with their camera phones. They had free drinks for the entire flight but his wife was passed out after 5 minutes. |
| 5:28
| Turns out that was a good call to take. Steve likes the part about the female flight attendant wanting her phone number. Steve didn't get a chance to ask the guy what airline it was but he assumes it's Southwest. |
| 5:29
| That staying up all night is never a good idea. You know how bad it's going to be when you see the sun coming up. |
| 5:30
| Buzz would often close out a bar on Roscoe and in the morning he'd be sitting on a curb waiting for a cab. Every morning there was an English bulldog tied up to a stop sign and Buzz and the dog would sit there watching the sun come up. |

| Steve had huevos rancheros for breakfast today, it was fantastic. Then he went to pump some iron. |
| 5:33
| Steve did everything that was asked for him but his trainer did that irritating thing where he sort of spots you because he thinks you're going to fail and drop the weight. |
| 5:34
| Steve can't say anything to Cornell either because one day he will drop the weight on his head. Then he'll get an "I told you so". |
| 5:39
| Steve's trainer will never be obsolete with him because he doesn't like to think when he's working out. Outside of the studio he doesn't really like to think at all. It's nice to have someone else figuring all that stuff out for you at the gym. |
| 5:40
| Song: California II, The Nadas |
| 5:43
| When you hear a song by The Nadas or Steve or Buzz be the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th callers to win tickets to the next Dahlfins show this Saturday at the Fuel Room. |
| 5:44
| The Nadas will be in studio on Friday because they'll be in town early. They're going to set-up at the Fuel Room and work a few things out. They haven't played together since the last show so Steve wants to go over a few things. |
| 5:45
| On Friday night Mike and Jason are playing some guy's graduation party in Lake Geneva and on Tuesday they're doing a private show at the Double Door for their Templeton Rye whiskey. |
| 5:47
| Time for some sports if Buzz is ready for that. Steve's almost ready for it. The Cubs host the Reds at Wrigley Field tonight. Carlos Zambrano starts against Aaron Harang. |
| 5:48
| The Cubs called up New Lennox native Carmen Pignatiello and Jake Fox. Sean Gallagher and Eric Patterson were sent down to Iowa. |
| 5:49
| Ryan Dempster took time out to remind everyone that the Cubs are only a game and a half out of first place. |
| 5:50
| The Sox are in Oakland tonight. Javier Vazquez takes the mound against Lenny DiNardo, formerly of Laverne & Shirley. |
| 5:51
| ESPN's annual Quarterback Challenge, which was taped in May, will not air because it features Michael Vick. That guy is being blackballed hardcore. |

| The Smoking Gun has released the hotel rider for this year's Pittsburgh Steelers. Some of the requests include no alcohol in mini-bars or delivered by room service and no other guests on the same floor as players or staff. |
| 5:53
| That last one sounds like a good idea for everyone. If you're a guy you don't want to get up to your floor with your wife or girlfriend or daughter and you run into the Pittsburgh Steelers. One of them will be Roethlisbergered! |
| 5:57
| Steve watched the whole Bears game on Saturday and he doesn't remember Coach swearing. Or did Pete bleep it just to heighten it, like Chuck Barris used to do on The Gong Show. |
| 5:58
| Pete did not bleep Coach, he swore during the game. Pete agrees with Steve, Coach might be in his cups when he's doing those games. |

| Steve has a list of things David Hochberg will do and he doesn't mean on a first date. It's a list of all of his loan products. The story today is that David didn't get his copy in on time. |
| 6:01
| He'll do any kind of loan for virtually any kind of person in any kind of domain. Just check out his website which is where Steve is getting all of this info from. Unfortunately David's website features The Mix logo. They're Mormons, they don't even like Jewish people. |
| 6:02
| Buzz isn't quite ready for the news yet. Steve can handle that but just barely. He doesn't want to take a break but he's looking at his songs and there's really nothing he wants to play. He's gotten to the point where the songs he hasn't played are from the album with all the female back-up singers on it. Buzz likes those songs because he knows the story behind the singers. |
| 6:03
| Song: Tropical Drink Song, Steve Dahl and the Dahlfins |
| 6:06
| Steve was actually blasted when he sang that song. You can sort of tell too, especially when he's singing "I'm getting blasted". He was just keeping it real. |
| 6:07
| The Dow plunged 200 points today after Wal-Mart raised consumer concerns by cutting their profit outlook. |
| 6:08
| The future of an Iraqi baby found in a garbage dumpster remains in question. The baby lost both of her parents and is now being cared for by U.S. military personnel in a hospital. |
| 6:09
| Steve needs to take a break from the news to talk to David Hochberg. Apparently he's a little too busy with his live chat to get copy in on time. |
| 6:10
| No apology necessary but David hasn't been the same since he lined up with Eric and Kathy. Steve doesn't even know him any more! What happened to the up-all-night David Hochberg emailing him at 3:00 AM? |
| 6:11
| How could David forget to send Steve the copy? That live chat is a waste of time, that's all Steve's saying. They're Mormons, they don't even like the Jews. Steve is a Lutheran, they have a great history with the Jews. |
| 6:12
| Newt Gingrich not mincing words when he talks about the murder of three college students in New Jersey. He's sickened that U.S. leadership could be on vacation when one of the best examples for the war on illegal immigrants occurs. Two of the suspects in the case were illegal immigrants. |
| 6:13
| Mary Winkler could be released from a mental health facility she was sentenced to for the murder of her popular minister husband in Tennessee. |
| 6:14
| Winkler murdered her husband because she said he forced her to have kinky sex. Is that why Buzz sleeps with one eye open? |
| 6:15
| Now Buzz wants to hear One Eye Open by the Lamont Cranston Blues Band. Buzz is sure Mark Czerniec will know them because they're from Wisconsin. |
| 6:18
| The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has produced a series of ads featuring frogs exploding on hot asphalt to demonstrate the importance of tire safety. |
| 6:26
| The Lamont Cranston Blues Band is from Hamel, Minnesota. |
| 6:27
| Song: One Eye Open, Lamont Cranston Blues Band |
| 6:31
| That one comes directly from Buzz's collection in the Blues Vault. |
| 6:37
| Steve made Buzz's list of 10 things that upset him but not really. Buzz is always pleased to be on a list. |
| 6:38
| Steve mentioned that Buzz still isn't watching channel 7 news at 10:00 in HD. It's Cheryl Burton in HD! |
| 6:39
| Buzz is fine with Paula Faris. She's no Cheryl Burton but she's got a certain glow about her now that she's pregnant. Is Buzz one of those freaks that's into that? It just makes Steve think of some other dude nailing her and he doesn't need that filling his widescreen TV. |
| 6:40
| Number three on Steve's list is Ozzie Guillen continuing to laugh about the Sox losing. If Steve sees that one more time he's going Ligue. |
| 6:41
| Number four on the list is Rex Grossman shaping his eyebrows. It seems like he's shaping them. He's probably got a Brazil wax too. |
| 6:42
| Number five on the list is Steve's continued inability to find a place that will massage and wash him that's legal. It doesn't have to be Asian either, Steve will settle from a woman from an Eastern Bloc country. |
| 6:43
| Steve was washed like a circus animal and he liked it. At first he was shy about it but then he thought "what the heck?" |
| 6:45
| Number six is a lack of Jack-in-the-Box restaurants in the Chicago area. Are we not cool enough? We like food around here, we life clowns and we like fast-food. |
| 6:46
| Jack-in-the-Box doesn't want to go east of the Mississippi for distribution reasons. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to get some tacos and onion rings over the river. |
| 6:47
| The fact that Rod Blagojevich hasn't had his head shaved is number seven on Steve's list. If Steve wanted his governor to have hair like that he would have voted for Judy Baar Topinka. |
| 6:48
| Steve feels that the 55 MPH speed limit is dangerously which is number eight on the list. Now that Steve's under court supervision he has to do the limit. Especially through construction zones it's death defying. |
| 6:49
| The ninth thing that upsets Steve but not really is that it's not his job to eat a taco everyday. Really though it is part of his job. The tenth item on the list is the fact that Steve doesn't look good naked when he's walking around the gym. It's not a good feeling after you just worked out. |
| 6:50
| Steve had a situation arise at the gym yesterday. He stepped into a shower stall and noticed there was a sponge and some soap in there. He had started showering before he noticed it so he just kept going. |
| 6:51
| Steve hurried up because he knew there was someone using the bathroom and it was probably his. So as soon as Steve got out he apologized to the guy for not seeing his stuff |
| 6:52
| Turns out it was the janitor in the stall for 20 minutes going to the bathroom under the auspices of cleaning the showers. Steve pays a premium to access the other locker room, it doesn't seem right that the janitor gets to use it. |
| 6:53
| Steve is being told by Mary that she's dumping him for what he just said. She said he should stop saying it. Steve didn't know that was a problem word. When did Mary become his judge, jury and executioner? |
| 6:54
| Steve's not being racist but maybe he's being classist. It just doesn't seem right that the janitor is using the VIP locker room. Buzz often sees the janitorial crew changing in his locker room which doesn't seem right either. Shouldn't they have an employee locker room? |
| 6:55
| Steve doesn't even want to see the guys from the front desk in his locker room either. So that's Steve's list of 10 and maybe 14 things that upset him but not really. |
| 6:58
| Steve keeps forgetting to tell Matt that if he's still buying a new car he'll go with him to the dealer. Matt's still thinking about it. |
| 6:59
| What's there to think about, he's driving around in a red Beetle with the "Be-Dahl" license plate. Matt was also vandalized last night in the Prudential Building parking lot so he might need something less conspicuous. Someone threw a carton of pot stickers at his car |
| 7:00
| Perhaps it was a jilted girl who threw the pot stickers? Steve was present at the house for a very awkward lecture from Janet to Matt about how he needed a girlfriend. |
| 7:01
| Matt was waiting for Steve and Janet at the house when they were coming back from New Buffalo. In the car Janet said he was there because he was lonely and then when they got home she lit into him. |
| 7:02
| Janet was going through a list of girls that she thought Matt should date including someone he took to prom. |
