| 2:01
| Steve waited too long to talk to Stan and Terry and now they've taken one last crazy call. |
| 2:02
| They just finished talking to Gene Simmons and were talking a call about whichever member of KISS is in a car insurance commercial. |
| 2:03
| Steve has no idea which guy from KISS is in the commercial, he doesn't care about them or Gene Simmons. Is there anyone Stan and Terry haven't talked to? |
| 2:04
| Stan and Terry just interviewed Tom Dressen today as well. At first Stan didn't get him and he told him that. The last time Dressen was on Letterman Stan thought he was funny. |
| 2:05
| Stan is such a celebrity suck-up whore. Tom Dressen is not funny, he's never been funny. Letterman isn't that funny so maybe Tom seemed funnier. |
| 2:06
| Stan was thinking Steve would stop by Harvey on his way home from Bourbonnais. Tom Dressen hasn't been to Harvey in 30 years. |
| 2:07
| Terry thinks he must have been there when they named a street after him. What street, Not Funny Drive? |
| 2:08
| Steve and Buzz have a great set-up but it's marred by the fact that Drew hasn't stopped talking since he arrived. And according to Buzz he talked for the entire car ride down. |
| 2:09
| Stan was wondering if Tom was there with Steve. He is, are they trying to steal Steve's only celebrity guest of the day? |
| 2:10
| Tom doesn't consider himself a guest on Steve's show. He will be a guest on Chicago Tribune Live when Terry hosts the show. Tom Dressen will also be on with him. Tom doesn't think Tom Dressen is that bad. Has Steve ever sat in the audience and listened to his routine? In order to do that Steve would have to go to Branson. |
| 2:11
| Last week Tom heard Steve and Stan and Terry talking about Lem's Barbecue. He wanted to stop there but he didn't know where it was. |
| 2:12
| Practice ends at 9:00 tonight but Lem's will still be open. Tom's going to stop by and get some rib tips. Will he be throwing the bones out the window as he drives? |
| 2:13
| Seeing The Score's RV reminds Steve of the time he and Tom drove back from the Indy 500 in Cub Shaver's RV. Steve was laying on the floor by the door after a long weekend of drinking and Tom was sitting at a table eating a bucket of KFC and throwing the bones out of the open door. |
| 2:14
| Steve kept thinking he was going to fall out of the RV as it was speeding down the highway. |
| 2:15
| Is Terry trying out for the Chicago Tribune Live job or something? Stan wants him to wear a durag and mirrored sunglasses. People are probably going to think there's something wrong with their TV when Terry is on. It's like Dan Jiggetts got smaller all of the sudden. |
| 2:16
| Stan's orphaned tonight, his family took one of those trips they take without Stan. He's probably going to mow his lawn tonight and then go for a ride on his bike. |
| 2:17
| Cynthia and Jeffrey are actually at a hotel in Arlington Heights that has a water park. They'll do anything to get away from Stan apparently. |
| 2:27
| Song: Iron Man, Black Sabbath |
| 2:33
| That would be for the Bears right? Or maybe our own Iron Man Tom Thayer. Tom has a buddy in Hawaii who has two young sons. That's their favorite song. That's probably not the best thing for a youngster but what can you do? |
| 2:34
| So Tom has directions to Lem's. Steve's never been there but it looks good. Maybe they should go in together, everyone will think they're cops. |
| 2:35
| Steve thought there was a nice breeze but there's a fan just to his left. Not a Steve Dahl fan but an electric fan. |
| 2:36
| It's been really hot for the last few weeks so this is a welcome relief. They wouldn't be able to be around all this equipment in the heat. |
| 2:37
| Today's practice isn't until later which is fine with Steve. People will start filtering in on their way to the interactive Bears Experience and players will come through on their way to practice. |
| 2:38
| The interactive thing is for the kids which is really what this should be about. It's better than those older dudes who are looking for autographs. There were about 10 or 15 of those types at the Bears Fan Convention getting autographs and then going to a table to collate the autographs. |
| 2:39
| Of course some people are just there with a piece of paper and want someone's autograph. Steve would be more inclined to sign that. |
| 2:40
| The practice starts at 7:00 tonight, is Buzz staying because they're actually in it. The Bears could use a few bodies to throw around. |
| 2:41
| Tom can see Steve really getting involved in practice but Buzz will pull a hammy right after stretching, that's his standard excuse. |
| 2:42
| Buzz is not staying for practice, he has to race to the House of Blues for the big Elvis Spectacular. |
| 2:43
| When Tom was a player the team practiced in Platteville. He wishes they practiced in Bourbonnais, it's closer and much nicer. Buzz is wondering what prompted the move to Bourbonnais. |
| 2:44
| When the Bears were looking for funding for the stadium rehab they thought it would look good to take the practice out of Wisconsin. Even though the Bears are only in Bourbonnais for a month they pump a lot of money into the economy. |
| 2:45
| It also wasn't fun to work all day in the hot sun in Platteville and then have some Packer fan drive by and yell "BEARS SUCK!" |
| 2:46
| There was a guy working on Steve's house who took his vacation in Bourbonnais last summer. He just spent a week at training camp. There's also the Kankakee River so there are outdoor things to do. |
| 2:47
| Buzz is wondering why he wanted to go to Jamaica when he could have spent a week in Bourbonnais. It's too late now, the last practice is Friday night. |
| 2:48
| Buzz has already secured a place in New Buffalo and he's going to be very shocked at how small the town is when he keeps running into Steve. |
| 2:49
| Buzz called a friend who has a house in New Buffalo and they're renting a house from him. Steve only has a few friends, Tom being one of them, but he doesn't have any that would rent him a house for a week. |
| 2:50
| Steve wants to know about Buzz pulling his hammy. There was one time when Buzz was on with Brandmeier and challenged Tom to a foot race. |
| 2:51
| The Bears were up at Lake Forest doing some early season testing which includes suicides which are up 10 yards and back, then up 20 yards and back and so on. |
| 2:52
| Buzz couldn't believe they only did two of those so he went up there and ran around the neighborhood to get his heart rate up. At some point during his first suicide he pulled up with a bad hammy. |
| 2:53
| The other thing about the suicides is you have three minutes in between each one. In that time your legs start filling up with all sorts of fluids and by the time you do the next one you can barely move. |
| 2:54
| Buzz is a runner and runners aren't used to the turn-around required in a suicide. At some point his leg started to hurt and he knew he couldn't go down on a knee in front of all of these guys so instead he slowed down and started taunting. |
| 2:55
| Then Buzz and Bruce Wolf were dragged off to the shower and taped up together. They'd still be there if it wasn't for Brian McCaskey who set them loose. He was watching it for a while but then he probably realized how much water they were wasting. |
| 2:56
| Tom thought he and Buzz were involved in a charity run also. It could have been a Tom Dressen charity run. That guy is so funny. |
| 2:57
| Actually that was the run where Buzz pulled his hammy. He stood a chance to doing much better in that one because it was a straight run. |
| 2:58
| Steve has seen a lot of guys taped up by football players but it never happened to him, probably because of his friendship with Tom. Kevin Matthews once got taped up in his own studio. Tom and Ming beat the heck out of him. |
| 2:59
| Not only did they tape him up but they wheeled him out of the studio, onto Michigan Avenue and started handing out markers for people to sign him. |
| 3:00
| Steve was at a lot of Thursday night offensive line dinners with Tom but that was mostly people abusing themselves. Tom can't remember another personality being out to dinner with them, that was a big line Steve crossed over. |
| 3:01
| McMahon was always at those dinners as well as Kevin Butler and Ken Margerum. The last time Steve heard about Ken Margerum he had bought up half of the big island in Hawaii. |
| 3:02
| Ken still owns half the Big Island and he's also coaching college football in California. That whole thing worked out well for him, Steve should have invested. He seems so flaky so Steve didn't want to give him 10 grand. |
| 3:03
| If Tom and Steve owned half the big island they'd probably be there now surfing. There are a ton of huge waves now because of the hurricane. Tom wishes he was there right now doesn't he? |
| 3:04
| Tom came back from his Baja surf trip right before the season started. |
| 3:10
| Steve thinks he just figured out the tie-in between the show open and Iron Man. It was because of Mike Ditka. It only took him an hour but he got it. |
| 3:11
| Pete featured Coach's awkward interview with Greg Olsen from last Saturday's game in the show open. |
| 3:12
| Joining Steve, Buzz and Tom is Billy Jack from Comcast Sportsnet. Billy just got back from lunch. Was he at Dairy Queen? |
| 3:13
| Billy thinks that's a Mark Schanowski thing. The Bears feed everyone from the players to the media really well. Billy's also staying in one of the dorms, he's got his iPod and his portable DVD player. |
| 3:14
| All the players eat together and stay in the dorms which builds team morale. It also probably knocks a few guys down when they're shoved into a college dorm. That doesn't feel good if you're worth $20 million. |
| 3:15
| The most interesting day of training camp is when all the players arrive with their TVs and videogame systems. Buzz has heard that the players leave that stuff for the students. |
| 3:16
| It's an interesting time at camp for Billy because there's a lot of contact with the players. When you watch the pre-season at home you only watch the first stringers and then turn it off. |
| 3:17
| When you're out at camp you get to see everyone and it's interesting to watch players grow and see who's going to make the second team. |
| 3:18
| Billy Jack did a special on Comcast with the Bears rookies and he learned more about them in a 5 minute sit down than he would getting them walking off field. |
| 3:19
| When you're walking off that field after a grueling practice being congenial to a reporter is the last thing on your mind. |
| 3:26
| That was a drop from Billy Jack's rookie special. Rihanna is the Umbrella girl right? |
| 3:27 | Steve and Buzz have full use of The Score's RV from Rollin' On RV in Schererville. |
| 3:28
| Steve needs to get himself an RV. Tom would like one too, maybe he and Steve could go in on one. Tom's goal would be to live in an RV in the Soldier Field parking lot all season long and then park it at his parent's when he's in Hawaii. That could work out because Steve would only need it for remote broadcasts or maybe a summer trip. The Score's RV is really nice but there's a creepy feel to it because Mark Zarang is set up in the back on the bed. |
| 3:29
| If you talk to any player at camp after practice they're telling you that they're going to lay down. They spend a lot of time laying down after practice. |
| 3:30
| When Tom was a player they didn't have video games so all they did was lay down and wait for the next beating. |
| 3:31
| When you're a rookie you have to pay attention at every meeting. The thing that kills you as a veteran is the meetings though because you hear the same thing every time. |
| 3:32
| A lot of people say Lovie has one of the better training camps for players. There are some naysayers who think he's going easy on them but you can't argue with his results in the last few years. |
| 3:33
| When Tom was a player the team wasn't as in your face as they are now. Now in the middle of the off-season they have 25 OTAs. They do pay the players more though. |
| 3:34
| When Tom was playing guys had to play for a lot longer just to make enough money for themselves. But Grant Wistrom played 9 years, won a Super Bowl and called it quits. |
| 3:35
| It was pretty cool the way Billy Jack went up to Chris Harris' house after he got traded. Billy Jack got a note from someone that said Chris wanted him to call him. |
| 3:36
| So Billy called him and Chris said he was heading back to Chicago and waiting for Carolina to call him. Billy went up there and did a sit-down interview with him and then he showed off his new basement which he wouldn't even get a chance to use. |
| 3:37
| In the middle of the basement tour Carolina called and Chris was out the door before Comcast even had a chance to pack up their stuff. |
| 3:38
| Football is cold but it's a business. Billy Jack talks to some guys who have a much easier time when they realize that football is a business. Carolina is a great opportunity for Chris Harris because he'll be starting for them. |
| 3:39
| Chris was one of the smartest guys on the team, he was always correcting coaches in practice. Maybe that's why they traded him. |
| 3:40
| Billy is wondering what Steve thinks about cutting down the pre-season schedule. Steve has an answer for that one. As a season ticket holder you have to buy those guys which is all gravy for the team. |
| 3:41
| When Tom was in the USFL they didn't have pre-season games. Teams practiced in the same area so teams would travel and have very serious scrimmages with them. |
| 3:42
| Then they'd have 20 games throughout the season. Tom thinks you could do that in the NFL because of how close teams practice to their home cities. The NFL could make that happen. |
| 3:43
| Steve would be fine with adding 2 more games to the regular season instead of paying for the 2 preseason games. Steve gets the feeling the money from those games goes right to the team. |
| 3:44
| Players have a set salary and don't start making money until the season starts. Plus you can still get injured in the pre-season. |
| 3:52
| Dairy Queen is Mark Schanowski's thing but Billy Jack does talk about it. Mark told him he had to go there but it's not that hard to find one in the suburbs. |
| 3:53
| They feed you so well at training camp so you don't need to go to Dairy Queen. They've got ice cream machines over there. Steve's never been invited so he wouldn't know. |
| 3:54
| Has Billy Jack ever been to Lem's? He's had Lem's but has never been to the restaurant. |
| 3:55
| Steve has an email from a listener, wanting to know if they hear Tommy Thayer. That is Tom. The emailer wants to know why they close practice on the 18th. |
| 3:56
| Friday will be the last practice before they tune-up the Colts. The guys are waiting to get out of here, they've got their cars packed up and idling in the parking lot. And they're nice cars too. |
| 3:57
| There is a practice on Saturday but it's totally closed off to the fans. They should have a few private practices where they can go through trick plays, maybe a Statue of Liberty or a Fumbleruski. |
| 3:58
| When Tom was in Platteville one year Ditka told all the veterans that they could pack up and leave on the last night but the rookies had to wait until the morning and leave on the bus. |
| 3:59
| Tom was a rookie but he asked Coach if he could leave anyway because he had his car with him. In reality Tom had a scooter which he drove from Platteville back to Chicago. |
| 4:00
| As Tom was driving a semi passed him up and then kicked a pebble up which hit his glasses and face. |
| 4:01
| Every few minutes Tom would feel a warm drop of something on his nose. When he got home he realized there was a huge streak of blood on his shirt. |
| 4:02
| Billy Jack has to get going to get ready for dinner. He just ate lunch! |
| 4:03
| Before Billy Jack goes Steve's wondering what the most interesting thing he's seen at camp. |
| 4:04
| The most interesting thing Billy has seen didn't really involve the team on the field. A really heavy golf cart with all of the supplies and Gatorade bottles and tape went out of control and nearly plunged into a group of kids. |
| 4:05
| The guy driving the cart fell out of it and then a box of tape fell onto the gas pedal so it kept going. Billy Jack was on the phone with Eric Fogel, a photographer from Comcast when the call was suddenly cut off. |
| 4:06
| Turns out Eric had dropped the phone and jumped onto the cart to stop it before going through a fence and hitting a bunch of kids. That could have really changed the mood of the entire camp. |
| 4:07
| Tom thinks the Bears are going to win the Super Bowl this year. That's fine with Steve but weren't they going with "just win the division?" |
| 4:08
| Tom's still going with that but he thinks the Bears will win it. They've got to win the division to get to the playoffs. Anything less than a Super Bowl will be a huge disappointment to Bears fans. 4:29 |
| 4:09
| Steve just wants to be at a Super Bowl where he's not sitting in the rain watching the team lose. Luckily Arizona has a retractable roof and the Bears know how to win there. |
| 4:10
| Tom can see Hester returning a few kick-offs and being the MVP. Even if people are trying not to kick to him the Bears have something worked out. |
| 4:11
| Hester is really going to be something to watch on offense. Billy doesn't want to give too much away but one example is when Hester takes off down the field and all the attention is on him. Meanwhile Benson has gone 10 yards with the ball. |
| 4:15
| That was a good opening 10 minutes of the Super Bowl and then we all know what happened. We don't need to relive that. |
| 4:16
| That was the perfect kick to start off with. It had good hang time, it was near the sideline but Hester broke one tackle and that was it. |
| 4:17
| Song: Oh Wally, Steve Dahl and Teenage Radiation |
| 4:20
| There you have it, a blast from the past, a nugget 'cause you dug it. |
| 4:21
| Live read: Frame Warehouse |
| 4:22
| Will we be hearing Beaver Shredding commercials from Tom this year, did he record any of those? |
| 4:23
| Tom does Fellowes, he's never heard of Beaver Shredding. Can Tom get Steve a shredder, one that does credit cards preferably. |
| 4:29
| Tomorrow Steve is giving away VIP passes for the next beach party on September 7th. That will be at the Broken Oar in Port Barrington on the Fox River. |
| 4:30
| Listen for the special version of Aloha Friday to win tickets. Of course that's more work for Steve but this is why he gets the big bucks. |
| 4:31
| No Air and Water Show set-up for Steve this year although Drew has him booked into a tearful one year anniversary of his reunion with Garry tomorrow morning. Steve's trying to get out of it. |
| 4:32
| Tom remembers that the Bears had a pre-season game that night and everyone in the press box was talking about it. Buzz is amazed that everyone remembers where they were when it happened. Robert Feder remembered that he was out of town. |
| 4:33
| Steve doesn't even know if there's a mic in Garry's studio for him because he's got so many people on his show. Plus Jim Turano has a mic for himself and a mic for his toupee. |
| 4:34
| Steve went to the Broken Oar's website to see what direction they're facing. At Papi Chulo's they were due west, it was like a solar firing squad. |
| 4:35
| Buzz's ride left but he has another one lined up. Did Drew just come down here to talk everyone's ear off? He probably didn't want to pay for Buzz to rent a town car. |
| 4:36
| Steve's happy to be on Garry's show since he was on his show for the Disco Demolition anniversary. Garry didn't remember a lot of it though. Steve got Disco Demolition in the divorce so Garry didn't reference it on his own show. |
| 4:37
| Tom's looking forward to listening tomorrow because he didn't get to hear the first reunion. When he got cut from the Bears and was talking to the media he was wearing a Steve and Garry hat. |
| 4:43
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:44
| Today's top story, Jenna Bush is getting married. She's taking advantage of the White House wedding and letting the taxpayers foot the bill. Bush is marrying Henry Hager. Of the Hager pants fortune? |
| 4:45
| Is Jenna the hot party daughter or the bookish daughter? They're both pretty hot. |
| 4:46
| Steve was listening to the Noon Business Report today, as he's wont to do, and they had a guy on who said the market would continue to go down and everyone's house would be worth half of what it is now. Steve almost drove right off the road. |
| 4:47
| Tropical storm Dean is now a hurricane. It's expected to be in what would have been Buzz's hotel room by Sunday, when it will be a category 4 storm. |
| 4:48
| Jenna is technically the party girl but Steve might prefer Barbara. On the other hand, why decide? |
| 4:49
| Fewer and fewer Americans believe pre-marital sex is wrong according to a Pew Research poll. Duh! 38% of people surveyed believe sex before marriage is wrong or almost always wrong. |
| 4:50
| Those 38% of people are talking about sex at the church before the ceremony, just like in the Godfather. Steve remembers reading that in the book but did it happen in the movie? Tom remembers someone having sex after the wedding at the home in the Godfather. |
| 4:51
| How about Joey Lombardo's testimony yesterday? He was up there doing stand-up! That's probably the way to go right? |
| 4:52
| Misty McMichael, former wife of Steve McMichael, faces gun and drug chargers following her arrest in Lincolnshire last night. Steve's pretty sure that's his wife now. |
| 4:53
| What is Buzz doing? He and Steve are going to end up taped up in the shower. Moving on! |
| 4:54
| A pair of German physicists claim to have broken the speed of light, undermining our entire understanding of space and time. Steve doesn't need that this weekend. |
| 4:55
| According to Einstein's theories, it require an infinite amount of energy to propel an object faster than the speed of light. Wait, Steve is writing this down. The two physicists believe they have reached a key tenant of photons believe they've reached a key tenant in the theory. |
| 4:56
| They conducted an experiment in which microwave photons travel instantaneously between a pair of prisms 3 feet apart. Steve can't believe he didn't think of that! It was right there in front of him! |
| 5:00
| Someone needs to stop Priscilla Presley from completely retooling history. The reason he went nuts is because she left him. |
| 5:01
| She's redecorated the mansion twice since he died. There's probably not a single piece of zebra skin left in the entire place. The Jungle Room isn't even the Jungle Room! |
| 5:02
| Tom has to leave soon to go be on Comcast. They have to find him first though, he's here for Big Steve and he's here because of Steve. If it wasn't for Steve he wouldn't even be doing the Bears broadcasts. |
| 5:03
| Coming up on the show, two reasons to hate cyclists. But before that more tickets to give away to the next Dahlfins show Saturday night in Libertyville. |
| 5:04
| Song: Home, The Nadas |
| 5:07
| Steve assumes we gave away some tickets there. We'll have another song to play before the end of the day so still another chance to win. |
| 5:08
| Today is Thursday which means it's time for Steve to eat some Taco Bell with a listener. He's going to take a break before that though. |
| 5:12
| If you're a Bear does it matter that you're playing the Colts this Saturday or is it just another pre-season game? |
| 5:13
| The fact that it's the Colts doesn't really matter. They have their own problems because they lost a lot of key guys in the off-season. |
| 5:14
| It's time for Meat Talk but it just occurred to Steve that he has the music on his computer. Unless Pete has it with him. |
| 5:15
| Pete has the music with him. Does Steve have to take out a loan to get the music? Is Chef even in there? |
| 5:16
| Hans is here but he might be a little upset because Charlie Trotter isn't answering his phone calls. Also, Chef's music doesn't have to be that loud. |
| 5:17
| Hans was hoping to talk to Charlie Trotter during the Meat Talk discussion but it's OK if he doesn't call. Is Pete still riding the music? It seems louder. |
| 5:18
| Charlie Trotter is on the phone now so we can talk to him. Pete says we may have lost him. |
| 5:19
| OK Charlie is back now. Whenever Chef Hans lines up an interview it never goes well because it seems very awkward and forced. Steve appreciates that Charlie called in though. |
| 5:20
| Charlie's restaurant is celebrating 20 years in business with a big party on Sunday. Charlie thinks Steve is due at the restaurant some time. Steve's never been but he does want to make it up there once. |
| 5:21
| Charlie promises not to give Steve too much weird stuff. The only things he doesn't like are tongue, brains or sweat breads. He might eat it if Charlie made it. |
| 5:22
| Steve has eaten at Charlie's restaurant in Mexico and it was great. Buzz has been to Charlie Trotter's as well as the one in Mexico. They're getting ready to open another restaurant in Vegas as well. |
| 5:23
| Buzz was at Charlie Trotter's with his food snob friend so it was an added bonus when Charlie did a fly-by. |
| 5:24
| Sunday Charlie has about 100 guests at his restaurant and Emeril will be there cooking along with a few other surprises. All of the money goes to the Mercy Home for Boys and Girls. |
| 5:25
| Remember when Chef Hans booked Brian Urlacher on the show and he made Steve put him on hold to talk to the Bears trainer? |
| 5:26
| Steve and Tom were reminiscing about the time that Hans wheeled up the meat cart from Lawry's to the Hancock building. Tom took down 3 Chicago cuts. |
| 5:27
| That's about 6 pounds of prime rib that Tom ate. It's a rare that someone pulls the Lawry's cart up to Tom and tells him to eat whatever he wanted. |
| 5:28
| Hans won't be here next week because he's going to Las Vegas to see the location of Charlie's new restaurant. |
| 5:29
| Hans will also take in a performance of Phantom of the Opera. It's still not to late for Hans to get out of that though. As it turns out the phantom is horribly disfigured but the chick ends up digging him anyway. In between all that there's some singing. |
| 5:30
| Steve can't wait any longer for a listener to call he's eating his Grande Quesadilla. |
| 5:31
| Hans seems very distracted today, is Pete pulling his pants down in the studio or something? |
| 5:37
| Was that a drop from that stupid My Boys? It's a stupid show but it gives us a lot of good drops. It's just a series of hackneyed Chicago references. |
| 5:38
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 5:39
| Pete really has cat-like reflexes, how does he do it? Remind Steve to never drive in a car with him. |
| 5:40
| The Bears have their last night practice of the year today. Depending on where you're at you can still come down and see the full practice. |
| 5:41
| After tomorrow you won't be able to see another Bears practice. They're right at the football field at Olivet Nazarene where both Steve and Buzz both played 4 years of college ball. They went both ways back then, you had to. Buzz spent most of his time on the sidelines nursing his hammy though. |
| 5:42
| It's hard to get Bears tickets but training camp is free and it's a great way to see the team. Tom points out that it's a perfect opportunity to come down and heckle Steve while he's broadcasting. |
| 5:43
| Tom wants someone to come out and yell "go Steve Dahl" at a really quite moment in the practice. Lovie would probably have Steve stripped of all credentials. Or maybe he'd put him on the team. |
| 5:44
| Things are really competitive at Bears camp this year. Coming off the Super Bowl loss there are a lot of guys who are still mad. Plus the team has a great roster so it's hard to break into the first string. |
| 5:45
| There have been a lot of fights at camp already. If Tom sees anything he's going to shove Steve right into the middle of it. |
| 5:46
| Steve gets the feeling that Tom is going to push him on the field tonight. Last year when Steve was on the sidelines before a game he was looking for Tom and all of the sudden he came running up on him. |
| 5:47
| Steve was thinking of maybe pushing Jeff Joniak backwards as Tom is kneeling behind him. |
| 5:48
| Steve ran into Jeff the other day and he was complaining about the upcoming season. Steve can see why Tom punches him so often. |
| 5:49
| Steve is broadcasting from The Score tent so people keep coming up to ask him how the Sos did. All he knows is they're 15 games out. |

| There are a bunch of Score posters around the tent but only one WCKG poster. Tom is wondering why the p, a and e in Package are a different color than the other letters. |
| 5:51
| The c, k and g are highlighted because of WCKG. Tom can't believe he didn't notice that, it's a post-concussion thing. |
| 5:59
| Tom needs to go to Frame Warehouse. A photographer friend gave him a photo of the Seven Pools in Hawaii but it's a really long image. |
| 6:00
| Tom does not have to leave to be on Chicago Tribune Live with Terry today. The White Sox post-game ran long so they cut him. |
| 6:01
| Buzz was just up at Carson's in Deerfield and there is a sweet photo of Tom on the wall. If it hadn't been for the football jersey Buzz would have thought it was a movie star he'd overlooked. Is someone else competing with Steve for Tom's affection? |
| 6:02
| Song: Heal Me, Steve Dahl and Teenage Radiation |
| 6:06
| Steve and Buzz went to go see Ernest Ainsley in South Bend and he threatened to kill them. He sent henchmen out into the crowd so Steve and Buzz had to seek refuge in a biker bar. |
| 6:07
| Garry is on that song too and Steve will be on his show tomorrow at 10:00. Drew wants to commemorate the one year anniversary of their reunion. |
| 6:08
| During that song Buzz told Steve that the photo he saw of Tom was very fetching. |
| 6:09
| The other day Steve was making fun of cyclists. A motorcyclists lost his leg biking and didn't notice but Steve thought he was riding a regular bike. |
| 6:10
| Then Steve started making fun of bikers because he doesn't like them taking up the road. He got an email yesterday from a cyclist that said "so you like to buzz cyclists? That is against the law." This is why Steve doesn't like cyclists. |
| 6:11
| According to this emailer there is a law that passed the house and the senate in Illinois that requires a car keep three feet from a bicycle rider when passing him or her. |
| 6:12
| Furthermore, the person says that riding on the shoulder can be dangerous for a biker. |
| 6:13
| Buzz said he wanted to beat up a bicycle rider who passed him but only because the guy called him a moron. Buzz knew that the guy would have to turn around so he thought of hiding in the bushes with a stick and then running out and sticking it in his spokes. |
| 6:14
| Apparently Steve has bleeped-off the entire cycling community. He's fine with that though. The guy says that if he was a listener and knew who Steve's sponsors were he'd boycott them. |
| 6:15
| Jeff Joniak is here but Steve wants to finish up the bashing of cyclists. Steve was thinking that if this guy isn't a listener how would he know what Steve said? |
| 6:16
| Steve got a Google alert of Chicago bike blog that had a post about Steve's comments. He stumbled upon the show in the middle of Steve's anti-cyclist rant. |
| 6:17
| Then there's a link to the show log which provides a nice encapsulation of Steve's rant. Steve never said he likes to buzz bikers, it was Buzz who got buzzed. |
| 6:18
| The rest of this thing actually makes Steve want to hit a biker. He goes on to say that Steve and his giggling sidekick are about as interesting as oatmeal and as funny a heart attack. Ooh! Stop it! |
| 6:19
| Finally he writes that Steve's daily food delivery could leave him destined for a heart attack. So this guy wants Steve dead now? |
| 6:20
| Steve still wants to hit bikers and also take their jerseys and keep them as pelts. Jeff can attest to the fact that bikers are no better on the prairie path in the suburbs. |
| 6:21
| Jeff's always out there running with his daughters and the bikers don't give a warning when they're coming up on you. |
| 6:22
| Jeff made his daughters run a 5K because he thought it would be good for them. OK Santini! |
| 6:28
| Has Steve ever heard of Critical Mass? It happens about once a month when a bunch of cyclists gather downtown and ride through the city on a Friday. |
| 6:29
| Tom was talking to a few of his bike friends who take part. He pointed out that it could probably be irritating for a guy who's trying to get home after a 50 hour work week. Or in Steve's case a 25 hour work week. |
| 6:30
| Steve got caught up in one of those last year trying to make his way up to Park Ridge. You can honk at them all you want but all they do is flip you the bird. Steve almost got out of his car and beat someone up. |
| 6:31
| Jeff was telling Steve that John Mullins from the Sun-Times likes to show up at Halas Hall in his full bike regalia. He looks like Santa Claus in Spandex. |
| 6:32
| The last time Steve saw Jeff he looked very beleaguered. He had a long honey-do list to tackle. He just had to clean his basement. |
| 6:33
| Jeff is the kind of guy who when his wife does something nice like cutting the grass he'll point out that she did something wrong. |
| 6:34
| It's Tom's birthday today but Steve was told not to talk about it. Is Jeff trying to ruin the end of the show? This is why Tom punches Jeff. |
| 6:35
| Last year Tom and Jeff had a terrible experience at camp. Tom was all over Jeff from the beginning. So this year Jeff called him up a couple of weeks before practice just to talk about a few things. |
| 6:36
| Tom gets really angry before camp starts, like he's still playing. Tom told Jeff not to aggravate him and he'd be fine. So far it's been good but he's undoing all that now. |
| 6:42
| Players are walking by Steve and Buzz now. A lot of them are just kids, especially without pads on. |
| 6:43
| Tom is going to be on The Score at 7:00 with Zach Zaidman. Jeff's going to go watch the practice and take some notes then fire it back at Tom. |
| 6:44
| Tom encouraged someone in the crowd to yell Steve's name during a really quiet moment in the practice. That's why Steve's not going across the street. |
| 6:45
| Tom's just joking but that doesn't mean some knucklehead won't do it. Then Steve will get tossed from the practice. |
| 6:46
| Tom and Jeff will not drive to Indy together. They went on one trip together where Jeff was late. Tom almost killed him. |
| 6:47
| It was Christmas day and Tom told Jeff to be at Halas Hall at 7:00. Jeff didn't show up until 8:00. Tom was just driving around waiting to kill someone. |
| 6:48
| Two other people heard Tom say 8:00 so Jeff got there at 8:00. If Tom says 7:00 Steve believes him. He's not looking to get duct taped in the shower or anything. |
| 6:53
| Steve and Buzz are going to have to finish up early because they're in The Score's tent and they have a show at 7:00. Tom will be on with Zach Zaidman. |
