| Terry can't believe Steve doesn't have an office at the Tribune yet. Steve's eclipsing Terry over there. |
| 2:03
| Terry should have tried harder but he's a slacker. Terry was the one who put in a good word for him, which Steve appreciates. |
| 2:04
| The Tribune came to Steve about this whole fish taco thing, what's he going to do? Steve was very honored to be part of Fish Tacopalooza in the At Play section today. |
| 2:05
| Steve also got sweet placement of his column in the section, in the grey box. Terry isn't mad, he's more apoplectic. |
| 2:06
| The Tribune is embracing Steve as the future of the paper. Sam Zell's in town and he's a former broadcaster so he knows who Steve is and his star power. |
| 2:07
| Sam Zell was at the Cubs game last night, using his sweet tickets. He's unloading the team but he might as well use them while he's got them. He's not that guy in the pink hat is he? The one who got really mad late in the game after a bad call by the ump, who he called Blue. |
| 2:08
| Steve calls down to the newsroom to see if Buzz is here. Jim says he is but Buzz was just enjoying the show. Steve needs him down here, he's got a crazed Terry Armour on his hands. |
| 2:09
| Steve can understand why Terry is mad or whatever but he's just doing what they asked him to. What is it that makes him the most mad? Is it the poll on the front page or the Fish Taco bracelet? |
| 2:10
| Maybe instead of going to get his driver's license renewed this afternoon Terry should go into the office. |
| 2:15
| Are we back on already? Steve and Pete were having a conversation off the air but it should be on the air. Buzz doesn't have to leave either, Steve doesn't want to be alone with Pete. |
| 2:16
| In the few times Steve has been alone with Pete he's been manhandled. Pete has no problem doing it in front of others though. |
| 2:17
| Steve forgot it was Thursday but here is Pete for Music Snob Corner. Pete made his selection easy as cake. Or is it easy as pie? |
| 2:18
| There's something that's happening on Steve's call screener. There are 10 incoming lines and then 11 and 12 are for the hotline. |
| 2:19
| Yesterday Steve hit line 10 to dial out at the end of the show on accident. Since then, 19+ hours ago, a timer has been running and Steve can't figure out how to turn it off. We're not still being billed for it are we? |
| 2:20
| It only drove Steve crazy for 20 minutes yesterday but he can't look at it for 4 hours and 40 minutes today. |
| 2:21
| You don't like to hear that time out loud, that's too long for 2 men to have to do a show. Your Jon Stewarts and your Stephen Colberts, some of Pete's favorites, do a half hour show and they have writers. Steve doesn't have writers although he steals liberally from his staff. |
| 2:22
| Steve's just going to reset the phone system and hopefully the timer will go away. The other day when Steve changed a few settings it seemed to have gotten rid of the Darth Vader effect. |
| 2:23
| Steve feels he's almost mastered the phone system. He read the entire manual, in English, Spanish, French and German, because he didn't believe that they couldn't hook a device up to the phone that would auto answer the line and tell people they might be recorded for broadcast. Steve wanted to record Brendan screening calls because it's really funny. |
| 2:24
| Steve doesn't see an on/off switch so he doesn't want to risk it. He can't think of his feet fast enough. |
| 2:25
| Last night we ended the show with talk of the Chicago flag. The new Olympic logo features one of the six-pointed stars from the flag but Buzz said we should save it for today because it's a fertile topic. |
| 2:26
| Buzz was right about that so we can talk about it now or wait until after Music Snob Corner. Pete knows that Jim is an expert on the flag but Steve has all the info in front of him. We can bring Jim in though if Pete would like. |
| 2:27
| Buzz thinks we should talk about the flag after Snob Music Corner. Or Music Snob Corner if you prefer. Buzz just wants to talk about with alone with Steve doesn't he? Steve's like that guy putting the ad on Craigslist for someone to come and have sex with him and his wife but Buzz thinks they don't need that. |
| 2:28
| It seems like Pete and Jim are better off in another room for these particularly complicated discussions. It seems like Pete is being very aggressive today though. |
| 2:29
| Steve did go home and watch Me, Myself & Irene last night and he had seen it and he liked it. The tasering scene is pretty funny but we don't really need it when we have the tasering video from Florida. The three black sons in the movie were pretty funny. One of them is Anthony Anderson from The Shield. |
| 2:30
| Anderson has a new show, K-Ville, about cops in New Orleans after Katrina. Buzz can't recommend it but it might get a following anyway. |
| 2:31
| Steve didn't see it but if it's filmed in New Orleans it's probably good for the city. |
| 2:32
| Today's song is called September Shirt. Pete's in a crunch because he there are only 2 Thursdays left in September. As it turns out there are a lot of songs about September, including one by Chicago. |
| 2:33
| Today's song is by Buffalo Tom who's been around for a while but never really caught on. Isn't Pete supposed to be exposing us to new music? |
| 2:34
| Pete reminds Steve of the classic My So Called Life episode that featured a Buffalo Tom song. Steve would like to start a fund for Pete so we can send him over to Denmark and get him that operation. |
| 2:35
| Song: September Shirt, Buffalo Tom |
| 2:37
| Steve couldn't find any songs by Chicago about September. Allison Rosati mentioned it on the channel 5 news the other day after a segment Bob Sirott did about the band. |
| 2:38
| Allison's on the news so she doesn't have to know what she's talking about. Then right into Fungus Wednesday with Brant Miller. |
| 2:44
| That was pretty easy with Pete today. Not bad at all. The song was good too. |
| 2:45
| Does Buzz want to talk Chicago flag now? The new Chicago Olympics logo had to be redesigned because it featured a torch, which is not allowed. Someone should have told them that before they designed the logo. |
| 2:46
| Steve also figured out the whole Children's Museum thing. The Pritzker's want it next to their big amphitheater. Buzz as never been in the one at Navy Pier but it seems lame. |
| 2:47
| The Children's Museum is just a place you take your kids when you don't want to pay for rides. There are plenty of adult museums to take kids to. |
| 2:48
| That Pritzker woman probably laid into Daley about getting the museum down there so he went nuts. Then then alderman stepped in because he's supposed to handle the zoning. |
| 2:49
| Some people have said that a lot of the museum would be underground so it doesn't seem like it matters. Maybe a giant crayon would stick out of the ground or something. Buzz is fine with that then, kids can do whatever they want underground. |
| 2:50
| How does the race thing factor in then? Is it because it's too expensive to park at Navy Pier? Can't you just take a bus there? |
| 2:51
| Steve doesn't really care about this other than that children's museums are lame. He wants to be the guy coming out against children's museums. They're just a place for parents to dump their kids and then feel good because they're learning about it. |
| 2:52
| Steve's actually going to take a break and then talk to Kevin Pang from the Tribune about fish tacos. There are fish tacos waiting and he doesn't want them to get cold. |
| 2:55
| Kevin Pang is here from the Tribune. Kevin emailed Steve about having a fish taco debate but as it turns out they like them the same way so there was no debate. |
| 2:56
| As it turns out though, Steve had a heartwarming tale about fish tacos. They're getting a lot of feedback already. At least one food writer from another paper told Kevin it was Steve's best piece yet. |
| 2:57
| When you start talking about fish tacos Steve lights up like a Christmas tree. Kevin knew they couldn't have a fish taco section without Steve. |
| 2:58
| Kevin does not have any fish tacos on him though. Steve couldn't be any less interested in him now. |
| 2:59
| Last week Steve Dolinsky was at a Mexican bakery that serves fish tacos special. They're supposed to be very good. |
| 3:00
| Next year we should have some sort of fish taco contest or festival. Steve and Kevin can be judges. Buzz is welcome to be a judge as well, you'd need three. |
| 3:01
| There have been a lot of requests for the Fish Taco bracelet, over a thousand. They only made 500 so it could be a collector's item. |
| 3:02
| Steve has one and Kevin brought one for Buzz. He's not sure why he'd ever wear it though. It would be a good conversation starter at a bar but Buzz doesn't really need that. |
| 3:03
| Steve saw Kevin's article yesterday about a sandwich in Chicago that made the Today's Show's list of top sandwiches in the country. |
| 3:04
| Kevin got a lot of emails from people all over the country with their favorite sandwiches. Maybe that's another special section? Steve has another good childhood story about a sandwich. |
| 3:05
| Kevin's favorite sandwich in Chicago is probably the pastrami at Manny's. Steve likes the pastrami at Eleven City Diner. |
| 3:06
| When Steve was a kid his family used to go to the restaurant that invented the French Dip. Kevin went to USC so he's familiar with Philippe's. |
| 3:07
| There's another restaurant in LA that claims they invented the French Dip. There are always feuds like that with food though. |
| 3:08
| The Philippe's people claimed that a cop used to come into their restaurant and eat a roast beef sandwich dipped in the juice. His last name was French. |
| 3:09
| Kevin is wearing a Chicago flag t-shirt that says Fish Tacos on it. That's something Steve and Buzz could make and sell. Is it illegal to sell a shirt with the Chicago flag on it? |
| 3:10
| Steve has heard that when Kevin went to USC he pulled as much tail as Matt Leinart and Carson Palmer. Probably not as much as John David Booty though. Was Kevin ever tasered in college for being a wise guy? |
| 3:11
| Caller Dorothy is so looking forward to making fish tacos. She clicked on the recipe link online but there's no ingredient list. She needs to know how many egg yolks to use. |
| 3:12
| There's a video on the Tribune website that shows the chef from Fonda del Mar making the tacos. There's no ingredient list though. |
| 3:13
| Dorothy will just have to wing it, or fin it. Did she call in just to make that joke? |
| 3:14
| You need that ingredient list but they don't put recipes in the At Play section. There are specific rules for each section and recipes go in the Good Eating section. |
| 3:14
| Steve understands that there have to be rules for each section, it's just funny. Kevin will track down the recipe and put it in his blog though. |
| 3:15
| If you look at the At Play section there's a picture of Steve, rocking his clamdiggers, holding up some sort of fish. He's not sure what kind it is though. |
| 3:16
| This picture might have been the same year when Steve got his cat Snowy from a local market. It was a stray so someone just gave it to him. |
| 3:17
| One summer Steve's family rented the middle floor of a three-story house. If you walked behind the house there was a plank you could walk up and look into the bathroom of the downstairs bathroom. One summer Steve was able to look in on the girl in another family taking a shower. Steve got caught but he always got caught. The girl never told on him which confused him and he was embarrassed to see her the rest of the time. What section would that story go into? Maybe Tempo. |
| 3:24
| Steve didn't mean to set Kevin up for failure when he didn't have the fish tacos. He brought them the other day but they don't travel well anyway. The moisture from the fried fish messes up the corn tortilla shell. |
| 3:25
| The whole fish taco section worked out really well though. It's funny that there are all those rules for the sections though. |
| 3:26
| It was fun writing the article and it made Terry Armour mad. It made Steve want to move back to California but it's not the same there any more. It really made him want to move back to California and be 10 years old which doesn't seem realistic. |
| 3:27
| Even when Steve researched the place where he first had a fish taco it looked completely different. He likes it here but he wouldn't mind access to more fish tacos. That's part of the whole campaign though. |
| 3:28
| Steve would be happy to lead the fish taco charge but if you follow him you'll just go in circles. Buzz isn't sure why he'd wear this fish taco bracelet. He should just give it to Steve so he'll have a back-up. |
| 3:29
| Steve will trade Buzz the fish taco bracelet for a camouflage Disco Demolition bracelet. Steve could actually give Buzz 500 of those. |
| 3:30
| Buzz has never had a fish taco because he doesn't like fish. Steve doesn't like fish either but he likes fish tacos. For some reason Buzz is picturing a tortilla shell wrapped around a whole fish. It's more like a tortilla wrapped around a fish stick. |
| 3:31
| Buzz didn't have any fish tacos at Dreams Los Cabos but they were served poolside. He didn't know they would be the next big thing. |
| 3:32
| They've been big for a while with surfers in Southern California. Then that Rubio's place became pretty popular. That's Terry Hardin's favorite place, he goes there every time he's in San Diego. |
| 3:33
| Steve had sort of forgotten about fish tacos until he was in Terry's office one day and he was eating one from Baja Fresh. So Steve started getting them from there but at some point things went bad and they were putting oregano in there. |
| 3:34
| Steve sort of feels that no fish taco we get in here is going to satisfy Buzz. Buzz would be interested in a pastrami sandwich from Eleven City Diner though. |
| 3:35
| Buzz certainly doesn't want to push Steve into ordering from there though. He'll let Mary decide, because she's ruthless and will do whatever she thinks is right. |
| 3:36
| Buzz is getting a look from Mary like he's not getting a sandwich which is fine with him. Steve's sandwich is doctored before it gets into the studio anyway, then Mary denies that ever happened. |
| 3:37
| They're not wrong to doctor the sandwiches though. The last thing Steve and Buzz need at this time in the afternoon is a giant pastrami sandwich. They'll need a nap. Plus Steve weighs 200 some odd pounds. This football season is really killing Steve. |
| 3:38
| Mary threw the hammer down, there's no sandwiches coming. She knows they'll run right into the Five O'Clock Taco Bell and she won't stand for it. She's right too. |
| 3:39
| Matt and Brendan do that Fry Daddy Friday thing and Matt's been having some problems coming up with stuff to fry. Steve suggested they ask Buzz to whip up a beignet batter. |
| 3:40
| The whole point of the segment is to fry up weird stuff but the fact that Buzz is making the batter makes it special. |
| 3:41
| Matt acted like it wasn't a good idea but 6 months from now he'll do it and won't remember Steve gave him the idea. |
| 3:42
| Kevin wasn't buying any of Steve's stuff about Philippe's and the French dip. That's probably his newspaper skepticism. They say they've been making the sandwich since the 30s so Steve took it for gospel. |
| 3:43
| Tyson from Eleven City Diner is on the phone. He wanted to send some food over but they're not being allowed to have anything from their keeper. |
| 3:44
| Mary allowed the call to be put through so Steve is getting mixed messages. Maybe they should send some food over. Steve wants his sandwich delivered right to him so it doesn't get chopped down like a stolen car. |
| 3:45
| Philippe's restaurant is located in downtown LA, adjacent to Chinatown. Steve has some great Chinatown stories too. Maybe he should just have his own section in the paper filled with childhood memories. |
| 3:50
| Steve doesn't know how they're pronouncing Philippe's. His family said it one way but there are several words in the lexicon of Steve's family that are mispronounced like minu instead of menu. |
| 3:51
| Drew says he knows how to pronounce it. He had to come in and tell Steve because it's so exciting. Drew says it's pronounced with an E sound at the end. |
| 3:52
| Steve's going to the source to figure this out. He's call his parent's house. Steve's brother Rick says it's Philippe's with a long A sound. That's how you say it in LA. |
| 3:53
| Drew thinks he's Mr. LA because he lived there for a year and went out there to look for houses with Garry Meier. Drew also called the restaurant 2 minutes ago for the proper pronunciation. |
| 3:54
| Steve always heard that the cops name was French but that seems very apocryphal. |
| 3:59
| Mona works at Philippe's in California. She is standing right by the Big Hunks. Steve loved those things. |
| 4:00
| Mona says it Philippe's with a long A sound. Drew doesn't know what he's talking about. Next time he's in there they shouldn't serve him. |
| 4:01
| Mona has a full stock of Big Hunks, she just got her delivery today from the distributor. |
| 4:02
| We know that the French dip was invented at Philippe's but was the cop who liked the sandwich named French or is it just because of the French bread? |
| 4:03
| Drew is such a poser. He only lived there for a year, he doesn't know what he was talking about. Drew feels so bad for letting Steve down. |
| 4:04
| This is where Drew is supposed to say "no charge for the bit", not get all weepy on him. |
| 4:05
| Drew really wants a Big Hunk now though. OK then...ZIP! |
| 4:09
| On the phone is Gail Fischer from Comcast Sportsnet. Steve was watching her last night cutting in during Cubs games. |
| 4:10
| Gail was at Wrigley last night, Steve must be thinking of the night before. Then she did the post-game with Dan Plesac. |
| 4:11
| It all runs together for Steve because he's disoriented. He's not used to watching the Cubs. That Soriano sure can play some baseball. He has an arm on him. |
| 4:12
| Why would anyone run on him? Soriano had the ball before the runner even hit third base. Then he made a perfect throw. It was pretty impressive but the whole game was impressive. |
| 4:13
| Just to show how nuts Steve is, he was watching the MLB.com Gameday of the Brewers at Astros. That thing is unbelievable, it's like being at the game. |
| 4:14
| Everyone is talking about whether the schedule favors the Cubs or the Brewers. The Cubs face the Pirates, Marlins and Reds while the Brewers face the Braves, Padres and Cardinals. |
| 4:15
| The Sox lost 3-0 today so they're back in the cellar of the AL Central. They've also been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. |
| 4:16
| Dave Kaplan is hosting Chicago Tribune Live tonight with guest Jerry Reinsdorf. He's got quite a line-up of guests this week, he's really making a play for that show. |
| 4:17
| The Blackhawks have another exhibition game tonight against he Blue Jackets again. It seems like they play them every other day. |
| 4:18
| Mitch Robinson also did a story about Derrek Lee filming a scene on ER. He got to meet John Stamos. They still film in Chicago sometimes, they just filmed something on Gail's sister's roof. The Fischer sisters? Steve didn't know there was a sister. |
| 4:19
| The sandwiches are here from Eleven City Diner. The guy doesn't really have to hand deliver them to Steve. They'll be doctored anyway before Steve gets it. |
| 4:20
| They're right to be doctored, Steve doesn't need a whole sandwich or he'll need a nap. Right now Stephanie is in the process of removing all but 3 slices of pastrami from Steve's sandwich. |
| 4:24
| How's that sandwich Buzz? Steve got a severely cut down version and he already ate all the meat out of it. |
| 4:25
| Buzz's was so fat and thick he could barely get it in his mouth. We don't need Buzz alert anyway. |
| 4:26
| Steve wants to try something here. How does Buzz's back feel? Because Steve's was hurting so he switched over to the ball chair. Buzz has a slight strain in his back, maybe from lifting the heavy sandwich. |
| 4:27
| Steve's trying to for an underwater setting on the harmonizer but it's sort of annoying and hard to understand. |
| 4:28
| Live read: Hot Tubs Etc... |
| 4:29
| Live read: Collier RV Sky Harbor |
| 4:30
| Steve's always wanted an RV, maybe he'll go buy one this weekend. Having an RV is like being able to drive your hotel room around. |
| 4:31
| Song: Pride and Hunger, Lowen & Navarro |
| 4:36
| Steve always wants to do more for Eric Lowen but he never knows what to do. It doesn't seem like there's much you can do but Eric is so cool about it. |
| 4:37
| Every time Steve sees him his attitude is better. Steve could try to have a better attitude but then Bob and Ron show up and he has a bad attitude. |
| 4:38
| That song started off with bagpipes, which horrified Buzz. That's funny coming from a harmonica player. |
| 4:39
| Steve's always looking for a musical theme just because it makes it easier to play 3 songs. His theme now is bagpipes. |
| 4:40
| Steve's going to try to talk this song up but he doesn't need Buzz. He can go finish his sandwich. |
| 4:41
| Steve feels that wasn't a good talk-up. Pete has certainly heard better. Has Steve lost his gift? Pete thinks he might just be out of practice. |
| 4:42
| Buzz can finish his sandwich, this isn't his nightmare. Buzz would prefer to come in the studio, eat his sandwich and watch Steve struggle. |
| 4:43
| This is heightened by the fact that Steve knows the bagpipers are annoying Buzz. Steve has a little extra time because Gail Fischer didn't have much to say today. |
| 4:44
| Song: Copperhead Road, Steve Earle |
| 4:48
| A little bagpipe at the end too just for good measure. Actually that was probably 4 measures if Steve could do some musician talk. |
| 4:49
| That's part two of Steve's trilogy of music with bagpipes in it. Coming up later, Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners. That has bagpipes right? |
| 4:50
| Is Buzz ready for the headlines? He finished his sandwich but it will linger for a little bit. That's because it's a huge sandwich. Maybe we should take a break so Buzz can go hurl. How do you think he keeps his girlish figure? |
| 4:56
| It's Taco Pal Thursday which means Steve will need a Taco Pal in a few minutes. Steve has decided to open up Taco Paldom a little bit and you no longer have to order exactly what Steve is having. |
| 4:57
| It certainly heightens it when you're eating the same thing Steve is but you don't have to. Today Steve is having the Cheesy Beefy Melt. |
| 4:58
| Caller Derek wanted to let Steve know that Come on Eileen starts with an accordion and then that irritating fiddle. |
| 4:59
| Caller George has some disappointing and/or exciting news for Buzz. Back in the 1700s the first settles in the Appalachian and Blue Ridge mountains were of Scottish and Irish descent. |
| 5:00
| They didn't have bagpipes so they played their music on the harmonica. You can make the harmonica sound as bad as you want it to. |
| 5:01
| Country music is based on that sort of bagpipe music. That's why guys like Steve Earle gravitate back to it. |
| 5:02
| That's certainly interesting to Steve but Buzz is horrified. He doesn't want to think that he's playing a bagpipe without the bag. |
| 5:03
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 5:04
| Civil rights leaders, activists and onlookers have converged on Jena, Louisiana to show support for 6 black high school students who got into a fight with some white students. |
| 5:05
| The white students were suspended but some of the black students were charged with attempted murder. One of them is facing 15 years in prison for assault and battery. Some are saying he shouldn't have been tried as an adult. |
| 5:06
| Some are billing this as the seminal civil rights moment of the decade. Steve thought that the appeals court ruled in favor of this kid but he's still in jail because the paperwork hasn't gone through. |
| 5:07
| The media is short on facts on this story but they have plenty of photos and video to show. Steve just found it fascinating that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were holding competing rallies. |
| 5:08
| A new video possibly showing Osama bin Laden calling for the assassination of the president of Pakistan is being reviewed by the CIA. Why do they never let us see these things? How can we not catch this guy? |
| 5:09
| The president of Iran will go ahead with plans to lay a wreath at the 9/11 memorial, in spite of the fact that the UN denied his request. What's so wrong with laying a wreath? It seems respectful. |
| 5:10
| Johnny Rotten has called Sting a "soggy old rotten carcass". The Sex Pistols are preparing for a gig to mark their 30th anniversary. |
| 5:18
| Chef Hans doesn't have headphones so he didn't hear the shout out he got from Linda Yu. |
| 5:19
| Sometimes Steve thinks he's having a bad show and he changes his headphones. Then he thinks he sounds better. That's crazy right? |
| 5:20
| Joining Steve on the phone is his Taco Pal, Ed. He has two Cheesy Beefy Melts with mild sauce. |
| 5:21
| Steve never thought of cracking one open and putting the sauce in. It seems fine without it but it's a free country. |
| 5:22
| Chef Hans is here and he has a beef with Gordon Ramsay of Hell's Kitchen. As a contestant? Hans is a more accomplished chef than he is! That would be like Pete McMurray asking Steve to be a guest on his show. |
| 5:23
| Hans had to say no to Hell's Kitchen. Ramsay gives other chefs a bad name. Real chefs aren't like him. If they were they'd have no one working for them. |
| 5:24
| The show's producers didn't ask Hans to be on the show, some of his chef friends suggested he should do it. So it's not really the same thing. |
| 5:25
| Hans also has a wine tasting at S & W this week. Has he been taking a few samples already? |
| 5:26
| Hans will also see Bill Kurtis and Jackie Chen at Cafe Brauer for a fundraiser tonight. |
| 5:27
| Is Bill just doing it to get Hans to serve Tallgrass Beef in his restaurant? Hans is a proponent of corn-fed beef but Bill pushes the grass-fed. |
| 5:28
| The fundraiser is for the Chicago city pound. How about some nice grass-fed dog? |
| 5:29
| Bill was on John Calloway's show the other night and he said some nice things about Steve. |
| 5:30
| The mayor is also supposed to be at the fundraiser tonight. He's hoping for grass-fed kids meals at the new Children's Museum. |
| 5:31
| Any good names in the restaurant lately? Lou Piniella was in for lunch, he had seafood and iced tea and his wife had some wine. |
| 5:32
| What kind of seafood did Lou have? Or is he bound by the chef/client privilege to not reveal that information. |
| 5:33
| Any other names Hans wants to drop on us? Lou Piniella is a sweet one to drop. Did Hans try to upsell him on some side dishes? |
| 5:34
| The last time Steve was in the restaurant it was with everyone from the show. Ed ordered ice cream shooters but then ended up sharing them with Pete and Jim. |
| 5:35
| Pete claims that he didn't partake in the ice cream. He was probably too busy grasping his coffee cup with both hands for warmth. |
| 5:36
| Jim says he did have a shooter but tried to eat it with a spoon. It barely fit in the shot glass. He doesn't remember Pete partaking but Brendan might have had one. |
| 5:37
| It seems like Ed was trying to order the shooters for himself but then 6 arrived and he felt embarrassed. Steve doesn't understand where all this desert sharing came from though. |
| 5:38
| Steve feels that the boys have finally started to take his advice on things. Pete won't even cop to it and Jim tried to make it sound as oafishly manly as possible. |
| 5:45
| John Calloway said that several people in town do a Bill Kurtis impersonation. Bill finally admitted Steve's was the best though. Steve likes Bill though. |
| 5:46
| Buzz periodically runs into Bill Kurtis. He doesn't really know him but every time he's in that bush jacket. |
| 5:47
| Song: Come on Eileen, Dexy's Midnight Runners |
| 5:51
| Listener Sharon wanted to let Steve know that there's a restaurant called Prairie Grass which is associated with Bill Kurtis. They serve the grass-fed beef. |
| 5:52
| There's a place in the Lockport area called Tallgrass that's not associated with Bill Kurtis. If they're still in business they should throw a lawsuit into him, just for being a wise guy. |
| 5:58
| Bill Kurtis said he started the grass-fed beef program because of his mom. Nothing wrong with that, everyone should like their mom. |
| 5:59
| Buzz's tile guy is working at his house but he's getting ready to go on a 2 week fishing trip with his mom. Buzz gave him a puzzled look but apparently the woman loves fishing. It's a good excuse to sit around and talk. |
| 6:00
| Buzz's tile guy is actually putting in some high boy toilets. They're 3 inches taller than most models. Tall people like to sit on tall chairs, it's easier on the back. |
| 6:01
| Steve didn't know there was such a thing. Buzz didn't either until Aimee demanded it. She's sick of these low-slung toilets. |
| 6:02
| Buzz's tile guy doesn't do this sort of handyman work for just anyone though. They've built a relationship over the years so he'll come over for this stuff. |
| 6:03
| It sounds fantastic but if Drew ever comes over they'll have to get him a little step ladder. |
| 6:04
| Matt and Brendan are at Lizzy McNeil's tonight and that's not a girl's house. It's a bar and they're giving away tickets for the next Dahlfins show from 10:00-12:00. |
| 6:05
| Alright time for some sports. The Cubs are off today before welcoming the Pirates to town. ARGH! The Cubs have a one game lead over the Brewers and Lou Piniella says his team could use a day off. |
| 6:06
| As we learned earlier the day off gave Lou a chance to have lunch at Smith & Wollensky where he knocked back some iced tea and seafood. |
| 6:07
| Milwaukee starts a 4 game series against he Braves tonight in Atlanta. Does Buzz say Bravays since he also says Fallcuns? |
| 6:08
| The White Sox lost to the Royals today, dropping them to last place in the AL Central. Good for them. |
| 6:09
| Floyd Landis was found guilty of doping and had his Tour de France title stripped from him. |
| 6:10
| Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith says he enjoys chick flicks and The Notebook is one of his favorite of all time. Maybe the next time they're in town he and Pete can hook up and watch some chick flicks. |
| 6:11
| Representatives for Oscar de la Hoya are saying photos of him in drag were doctored. |
| 6:12
| The photos were allegedly taken by a stripper the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia. Is she still a stripper when she's in her hotel room? |
| 6:13
| Steve's looking at the pictures now and they seem to be real, he's wearing boxing gloves. He also has a great ass if Steve could say so. |
| 6:20
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 6:22
| Live read: Bob Rohrman Saturn |
| 6:23
| Steve's not sure if he's doing this live read justice but it's a handful. He might have to take some acting lessons for this one. |
| 6:24
| News with Buzz |
| 6:25
| Protestors have descended on the town of Jena, Louisiana to support 6 black students accused of beating up a white student. |
| 6:26
| Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton had competing rallies that both marched to the school. Ironically by doing that they're keeping people out of school. |
| 6:27
| Did Jesse Jackson decide that Barack Obama was black enough for him? Jesse claims he was misquoted. |
| 6:28
| There is a syndicated radio host who sort of got this whole thing started. He and his co-host are broadcasting from a tour bus and Al Sharpton was on there with him. It seems like you'd want to keep it real and go on the regular bus. |
| 6:29
| Buzz likes Al Sharpton but it doesn't seem like he's at all interested in keeping it real. It's not exactly the Martin Luther King look that he's always going for. |
| 6:30
| Al was trying to cop a Martin Luther King look when he was marching his protestors to the school. It had a Selma feel to it. |
| 6:31
| Osama bin Laden has announced a new target, Pakistani President Pervez Musharaf. It's almost like bin Laden has a weekly TV show now. |
| 6:32
| Bin Laden must not be in Pakistan right? Or maybe he's got a toe in each country, straddling the border. |
| 6:33
| The speaker of the New York City council has called for Columbia University to cancel the Iranian president's speaking engagement. \. |
| 6:34
| A new research poll reveals that 67% of Democratic voters associate Clinton with the word "tough". Steve associates another word with Clinton but he can't say it on the air. Maybe it's two words. |
| 6:35
| Actually they're referring to Hillary Clinton. 39% of GOP voters associate Rudy Giuliani with the word "tough" |
| 6:36
| Comcast in Houston, Texas has decided to yank PETA ads featuring a nude Alicia Silverstone. Buzz feels that Mike Dahl's girlfriend looks a lot like Silverstone. Steve's not sure if he has that girlfriend any more but he'll try to keep Buzz up-to-date on the romantic dealings of the Dahl boys. |
| 6:37
| She's not even naked in the ads so what's the point? Apparently you can see her butt. |
| 6:46
| Just a reminder, Matt and Brendan are at Lizzy McNeil's tonight from 10:00-12:00 giving away tickets for the next Dahlfins show at the House of Blues Back Porch Stage. |
| 6:47
| Steve's also giving away tickets throughout the show, whenever you hear him telling the Austin's audience that they're the best one yet. What's the best city in the world? Libertyville. |
| 6:48
| Also don't forget to check out Steve's article in the Tribune's At Play section today. It's part of the fish taco section. |
| 6:49
| It also features of a photo of a 10-year old Steve rocking the clamdiggers, t-shirt tucked in. Steve feels that's a look that's making a comeback. |
| 6:50
| Today they're called capri pants or maybe board shorts. Back then they were clamdiggers though. |
| 6:51
| So check that out and take the Fish Taco Pledge. That's not a cleaning product either, no one would want their house to smell like fish tacos. |
| 6:56
| Steve has loved fish tacos since he was 10 which is probably more than you wanted to know about him. He was very mature for his age. |
| 6:57
| Let's say hello to Matt and hello again to Brendan. Whenever Buzz runs into Brendan during his 1 hour break he gets a refreshed greeting. It's a greeting from a Brendan of a different stature. He's no longer the call screener, he's the co-host. |
| 6:58
| Matt and Brendan are at Lizzie McNeil's tonight, that's a bar not a girl's house. It's at 400 North McClurg, right on the river. |
| 6:59
| Be careful on that river though, it seems like we always lose people in there after a night of drinking. Usually they're from out of town though. |
| 7:00
| Matt was at Arnold's Food today, Buzz's favorite place for breakfast. At the cash register, under a photo of the owner's family is a white piece of paper that says "105.9 WCKG, Thanks Buzz" |
| 7:01
| Matt told them he worked at the same station as Buzz but they didn't seem to care. They don't really care about Buzz either, he could walk in there and they wouldn't know who he was. They just heard he talked about them on the show so the owner's wife put that sign up and said she'd never take it down. |
