| Steve had everything turned off in the studio, were Stan and Terry looking for him? |
| 2:01
| Stan saw someone from The Little Guys in the studio and figured they were giving Steve a rundown of new technology. |
| 2:02
| Janet's birthday is today and Terry's is tomorrow. Did Steve ever know they were birth Virgos? |
| 2:03
| Steve didn't know and he doesn't really know how it would effect him. Terry celebrates his birthday by going to his mom's and having dinner. Stan is wondering why he isn't doing anything with LaNelle |
| 2:04
| LaNelle is coming with, why is Stan such a trouble maker? He's like our own Perez Hilton. Wait until Tony Curtis gets a hold of him. |
| 2:05
| Stan wrote something inappropriate in Terry's birthday card. There's also a gift that Terry might not want to open in front of his mom. It was defaced by Stan and the rest of the staff. By staff does he mean the 800 people standing in the hallway? |
| 2:06
| Why would Terry bring presents to his mom's house anyway? Does he open them in front of everyone while they ooh and ah? How old is Terry? |
| 2:07
| Terry's birthday dinner is homemade macaroni and cheese, collared greens and pot roast. |
| 2:08
| Steve did have a birthday meal as a kid. It was beef stroganoff and Caesar salad which his mom made at the table. He also had green beans almondine. It was a pretty elaborate birthday meal for a kid. |
| 2:09
| People don't almondine any more. Almondining is really where it's at. Steve remembers one year there was a tearful fight at the dinner table because his birthday meal wasn't what it normally was. a |
| 2:10
| Steve's mom made prime rib instead so she probably thought it was an upgrade. Steve remembers thinking that he was ruining his birthday as he was crying. Then his mom got up and ran out of the room crying, which is pretty traumatic when you're 8. |
| 2:17
| The Admiral has fried macaroni and cheese. Steve had never heard of it until someone told him to try it. |
| 2:18
| Steve doesn't even know what they do to the macaroni and cheese to make it fryable. They also had delightful chicken wings, almost a jerk flavor. |
| 2:19
| So you come for the food and stay for the girls. Steve was stationed right by the food so it was hard to not eat. |
| 2:20
| That Adam from promotions really took care of him too. He was there when Steve arrived and he stayed until after he left. |
| 2:21
| Steve tried to call down to Adam's office but he's not there. |
| 2:22
| Steve bought three iPhones when they came out because he wanted back-ups. |
| 2:23
| Steve traded one of the phones to Jason from The Nadas for a guitar. Steve originally thought Jason had taken him but now they've dropped the price of the iPhone so it seems about even. |
| 2:24
| Steve can't get the $100 refund from Apple without opening and activating the phone so he thought he would give it to Adam. Adam couldn't use it because he just signed up for a new phone plan and it would be really expensive to cancel it. |
| 2:25
| Steve figured he'd just pay for Adam to cancel his phone plan but he hasn't seen him today. |
| 2:26
| Caller Dee has some info about fried macaroni and cheese. Also her kid is wondering when he'll hear her on the air. Probably in about 30 seconds. |
| 2:27
| To make fried macaroni and cheese you make a shallow pan of it and then roll it up into little balls. Then you put some breading on it. |
| 2:28
| It sounds like Dee's kid is driving the car now. This sounds like one of those OnStar commercials where the |
| 2:29
| That was pretty good for Dee's first time on the show, especially with the kid screaming in the background. |
| 2:30
| Caller Donovan (Hail Atlantis) has some more info about fried macaroni. It says Donovan is in Kingston. Is he in Jamaica? |
| 2:31
| TGI Friday's has fried macaroni balls as an appetizer but there's no nudity there. It was probably a good idea for The Admiral to call them triangles and take that other word out of the equation. |
| 2:32
| TGI Friday's always seems like it's in the 70s to Steve because of the logo. He wants to go in there and have a Harvey Wallbanger. |
| 2:40
| It turns out that Adam was talking to Stan and Terry so Steve's going to call him back now. |
| 2:41
| Adam shows up at some of Buzz's gigs that aren't even being promoted by the station. He just shows up for support. |
| 2:42
| Adam can't wait to get back to The Admiral for fried macaroni. He didn't have the chicken wings though but he did have the chicken satay. |
| 2:43
| Adam's not a fan of bones, he tries to get boneless whenever possible. The kids today just don't like the bones. Also when the girl walks up it doesn't look good when she sees the pile of bones. |
| 2:44
| Adam does a good job. He actually does stuff and he doesn't give you any lip. He just shows up and does his job and then leaves the event in the car wrapped in the old WCKG logo. |
| 2:45
| Who decided that radio station vehicles needed to be wrapped in the station's logo? Buzz does get excited when he sees the La Ley car driving around. |
| 2:46
| One of the floors in the parking garage house all of the radio station vehicles from the various stations in Prudential Plaza. Buzz would be awestruck seeing that. |
| 2:47
| In the 12 years Steve has worked here he's never see a WCKG vehicle with the proper logo on it. By the time they get the money saved up to change the logo it's time for a new one. |
| 2:48
| This new Package logo is just a recycled classic rock logo. If only they would have waited it out for 10 years |
| 2:49
| When Steve worked at KKDJ he used to do their Summer Beach Patrol. It was a top 40 station so he didn't have that long to talk. It was fun though, a good reason to go up to talk to girls in bathing suits. |
| 2:50
| The station was at Sunset and Vine and Steve once got pulled over in the station van 2 blocks from it. |
| 2:51
| Steve was really freaked out being pulled over in his work van. Turns out the cop just wanted to know where he got the tailpipes from. |
| 2:55
| Steve missed that drop, does it matter? He heard profanity bleeped out and it seemed to be a key element. |
| 2:56
| It was a drop from Weeds and they were talking about the Toyota Prius. They're quite which makes it easier to sneak up on people. |
| 2:57
| Does Pete have a cold or is he doing blow in there? Steve feels like he's date raping Pete. Was Pete out last night? |
| 2:58
| Pete was out late, he should have just said that. What's late, 9:30? Pete was actually out until about 1:00 at Matt and Brendan's appearance. Which one of them had the bad blow? |
| 2:59
| Matt and Brendan were at Lizzie McNeil's right on the river. Then he took a cab home which sets him back about $20. |
| 3:00
| $20 is worth it, better than being on the train. God only knows what would happen to Pete if he's on the train drunk. He'd be trying to give back rubs to the Latin Kings. |
| 3:01
| Pete sounds a trifle hungover but he doesn't feel like it. He should just go with this sound but he's not giving it up. |
| 3:02
| Pete's probably ashamed of himself because he's Mr. Yogurt and Peaches most of the week. The only thing he should feel bad about is going home alone. For an extra dollar he could take a passenger home with him. |
| 3:03
| In a city where the bars close at 4:00 AM there's no excuse for not bringing a girl home. At some point Pete just loses interest. Plus if he takes someone home then there's the argument about who pays for the cab ride back. |
| 3:04
| The event was well-attended, which is good. Matt always complains when no one shows up. Steve's been doing this for 30 years and he still goes to events that aren't well-attended. |
| 3:05
| At one point Brendan was texting Ed Silha, trying to get him to come out. That's sort of creepy. Is there something Brendan wants to tell us? Is this why we never see him with girls? |
| 3:06
| Brendan probably wanted Ed there to pay for drinks. After midnight the free drinks are cut off. Ed said the only reason he showed up was because Pete was out. Is Ed hoping to be the new Catman? Did he make a pitch for that? |
| 3:07
| Pete did try to get the Catman to come out but he didn't. Catman is the perfect person to flush all the women towards Pete. It's like sending a dog into the bushes to chase all the quail out. |
| 3:08
| Pete doesn't really pace himself, he's sort of a binge drinker. Steve's not saying that in a pejorative sense though. Pete saves it up all week and then gets completely hammered. |
| 3:09
| Pete doesn't have big plans for the weekend, he's just looking forward to the Bears game. Steve drove by Soldier Field today and didn't notice any damage from the fire. He did see the John Madden horse trailer though. |
| 3:10
| Steve doesn't really understand the meaning of the trailer. Pete's just hoping that Rex Grossman's face is on it Sunday night. Does he mean his actual face or a decal? |
| 3:11
| If you're the player of the game for Football Night in America they put your picture on the trailer. They don't really explain why they use a horse trailer though. |
| 3:12
| Pete will again not be having pizza on Sunday. Even he must know he's insane right? How can he put these limits on himself? |
| 3:13
| Pete might not be able to admit it. It's one of those things you can't admit, like throwing a purpose pitch. Pete's plan is to order pizza for the October 7th Bears game, if he feels comfortable physically. There could potentially be a Cubs playoff game on that day as well which will throw him into a tizzy. |
| 3:14
| The other problem with ordering pizza is that Pete ends up eating leftovers on Monday and Tuesday. He likes to be disciplined with what he eats during the week. |
| 3:15
| He should just order a smaller pizza and throw half of it away. That's what Steve does. Even he's not going diving in his own dumpster. |
| 3:16
| Pete actually just fell in his dumpster the other day. What was he doing in there, looking for last night's date? |
| 3:17
| Pete will fire up a few Lean Cuisines and have half a Diet Coke for the game on Sunday. Can we just all agree that one day the police are going to haul Pete out of his condo and he'll be wearing someone else's skin? |
| 3:18
| Caller Liz can't believe how strict Pete's rules are. He's like all of her girlfriends. |
| 3:19
| Steve feels sorry for Pete. So far he hasn't noticed any change in Pete's physique under this regime. Maybe if Pete weren't so strict he'd be up to 900 pounds and we'd be hauling him out of his house on a forklift. |
| 3:20

| 3:21
| Caller Troy has some info about John Madden's horse trailer. They use the trailer because the players are all studs. That makes sense but it does have some homosexual overtones. |
| 3:22
| Troy seemed very underwhelmed by the entire experience. Steve doesn't really blame him. |
| 3:23
| In 2002 Monday Night Football debuted the mildly popular Horse Trailer Award. |
| 3:24
| When Madden and Al Michaels went to NBC for Football Night in America they debuted the Rock Star award for the player of the game. A photo of that player was attached to the top of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. |
| 3:25
| For the 2007 season the Horse Trailer has been reinstated on Football Night in America. |
| 3:26
| Steve had thought about the players being studs but he tried to put it out of his mind because of the overtones. He doesn't like one man calling another man a stud. Girls should call guys studs. |
| 3:27
| Steve also wouldn't slap another guy on the butt, even in a sporting situation. Of course athletes shower together so it might be a little different. |
| 3:28
| Steve showers with the same guys at the health club and he never wants to touch any of them. Maybe if Steve and Pete showered together it might be different. Steve has already been manhandled by Pete once at the Pearl Room gig. |
| 3:29
| Steve and Pete don't shower together thankfully. Pete doesn't even belong to a health club, he just runs. Pete might want to add some weight lifting to his regime though. He does have a dumbbell that he uses though. Pete really shouldn't refer to Jim like that, it's mean. |
| 3:30
| Steve was going to play Surf's Up but he doesn't want to play the new version from Smile where Brian sounds retarded. |
| 3:31
| That song had a gay feeling to it so Steve could send it out to Pete. It had a retarded gay feeling to it. There probably are retarded gay guys though. |
| 3:32
| Steve was once chaperoning a high school dance and he had to repeatedly break up the attempts of one retarded student to make out with another retarded student. No other parent was paying attention so Steve was the only one taking his job seriously. |
| 3:33
| Steve had to separate these 2 kids 20 times. At some point he just had to give up because he couldn't be involved in it. He turned it over to an actual school employee. |
| 3:34
| Song: Surf's Up, The Beach Boys |
| 3:37
| That still sounded gay but at least Brian didn't sound retarded. Present day Brian drools a little bit. |
| 3:38
| Steve's favorite Brian Wilson thing is when they'd go out to eat and he'd touch all the food, like the bread basket. There was one time when he did that to an entire plate of chicken wings, then he would drop the discarded wings back onto the platter. |
| 3:39
| Steve's also seen him dip his hands into frijoles to scoop it out. The man is a genius. |

| 3:46
| Steve needs to play another Beach Boys song to get that one out of his brain. He might have been trying to play Heroes and Villains. |
| 3:47
| But first Steve will talk to Billy Jack from Comcast Sportsnet. Steve saw Billy on Sunday at the game. Billy worked in Kansas City |
| 3:48
| Billy is making one of his rare appearances as anchor on the 6:30 and 10:00 reports today. He was up at Halas Hall earlier though. |
| 3:49
| Billy saw a few things that will make Steve feel better about this weekend's game. Greg Olsen is moving around really well and Rex Grossman said he's going to come out gunslinging. If he's going to go down it might as well be on his own terms. |
| 3:50
| Steve likes to hear that because he's tired of seeing Rex kowtowing to the media. He shouldn't have to explain himself as much as he is. So last Sunday were the receivers running bad routes or was Rex just not seeing them? |
| 3:51
| On a lot of the routes the receivers can go a few ways. In most of the routes they've been running so far the defense just sees them better and knows how to defend it. |
| 3:52
| Still though, there was one play last weekend where Berrian was so open that he set-up a campsite, lit a fire and started cooking hot dogs. |
| 3:53
| This is a key game for both teams though because it could determine home field advantage in the playoffs. It's also a nationally televised game. |
| 3:54
| That Devin Hester was pretty exciting though. He returned one kickoff, returned another that got called back and almost broke for a punt return. |
| 3:55
| It seems like Hester has a chip in his brain that allows him to look at the field and figure out all the angles and how to get through the defenders. |
| 3:56
| Billy has to be the best football reporter Steve has ever seen. Players talk to Billy in a way they don't talk to most reporters. |
| 3:57
| In San Diego they had Billy set up in a narrow hallway but he made it work, even after the tough loss. |
| 3:58
| Billy Jack is the greatest. Steve was more excited to see him on Sunday than any Bears player. |
| 3:59
| People really need to check out what Comcast is doing after Bears games. They do a great job. Billy seemed up too which is a good sign. It's also good that Rex is going back to not thinking. |
| 4:00
| It's never good when athletes think too much. They should just have some automatic things in their head. |
| 4:01
| That's why Steve keeps offering to take Rex out and get his mind off things. No one calls though. Steve knows the right buttons to press and he can be designated driver. |
| 4:02
| Maybe Rex up at the Admiral for a Monday Night Football party is just what he needs. |
| 4:07
| Steve really likes the Sunday night Bears games. He likes the 3:00 games but then what is he going to do after 6:30? |
| 4:08
| Song: Heroes and Villains, The Beach Boys |

| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:19
| One of the Jena Six has been denied bail because of a checkered record. |
| 4:20
| A 19-year old MIT student was arrested at Logan Airport today for an alleged bomb hoax. She was released on a $750 bond. |
| 4:21
| Why does this girl get released? She's probably going to get off easy too. Maybe they are racially profiling if this girl gets off so easily. Especially at Logan, where two of the 9/11 planes took off from. |
| 4:22
| It's not official, Hillary Clinton is not a lesbian. That's what she told Sean Kennedy of gay magazine The Advocate. Why is he asking that question? |
| 4:23
| Kennedy referred to the rumors of her being a lesbian through the years. Buzz has always thought maybe she was because of the eyebrows and the cankles. |
| 4:24
| Nelson Mandela is alive, despite the fact that George Bush said Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas. |
| 4:25
| Buzz can't believe a rabid baseball fan with a famous father became our President. He's not just a fan, he was also an owner. |
| 4:26
| Steve might have to burst Buzz's bubble about this Mandela thing. Is it possible he was speaking figuratively, like Hussein killed all the Mandelas in his country, all the revolutionaries like him? |
| 4:27
| Buzz doesn't think Bush's brain operates on that level. Steve has seen a lot of people referring to it as an embarrassing gaffe. |
| 4:28
| Steve isn't trying to defend him but he can't imagine that Bush is that dumb. It's not good for any of us to think our President is that dumb. |
| 4:29
| Mark Czerniec is checking in about the Bush thing. He's up in Racine where it's very warm. How's that for the last day of Summer? Mark prefers to go by the cultural summer. |
| 4:30
| Steve knows it's close to the solstice when the sun is sitting right down Lake Street. It's almost like he's an amateur astronomer. Lake Street is like Steve's stonehenge. He does have a Druid robe and shifty eyes. |
| 4:31
| Mark says that Bush was speaking figuratively. Mark doesn't like Bush either but he was speaking figuratively. |
| 4:32
| Pete does have the audio from the press conference. It seems like the cameras really kick into high gear when he makes the mistake. |
| 4:33
| It is an unfortunate gaffe, he should have just said freedom fighters. On the other hand though maybe Bush is really smart and he's just dumbing it down for the rest of it. |
| 4:34
| Maybe Iraq was behind 9/11. Maybe Saddam really did have weapons of mass destruction, other than those statues that could be toppled on a large group of people. |
| 4:39
| The Cubs won today, beating the Pirates 13-8. That means the magic number is at 8 right? Steve's going to bring Pete and Jim in on this. |
| 4:40
| Pete and JIm are pretty sure the magic number is 8. You know you're getting close when they start talking about your magic number. |
| 4:41
| The Brewers have a big game against Atlanta tonight but right now they're 2 games back of the Cubs. So the Brewers magic number is 12 right? It would be more than 8 because they're two games out. |
| 4:42
| Maybe it's 13 to go into first place. Will Pete and Jim be watching the Brewers game tonight? Have they checked out that MLB Gameday? You could call a game watching that. They also have way to get the radio and TV but Steve's not going to pay money to root for the Cubs. |
| 4:43
| Jim is kind of hogging Cubs Corner but Pete got a lot of play for how crazy he is. Pete defers to Jim's love of the Cubs. Pete loves them just as much but Jim is more vocal about it. |
| 4:44
| Steve actually did catch Steve up in the tape room having a conversation with the TV that had the Cubs game on. Steve thought he was talking to him but he wasn't. |
| 4:45
| Steve could go back to that room and be totally ignored by Pete. Today he thought they were having a conversation but he wasn't. |
| 4:46
| Steve stops the break. Why does he have to hear a promo from that idiot on Upscale Chicago. He buys the time but Steve would pay just to keep him off. |
| 4:47
| Buzz is actually on Upscale Chicago this week, the crew came to Buzz's gig at Katerina's a few weeks ago. |
| 4:48
| How much is an hour of programming? Steve will buy that time. He's also demanding to see the Time Out Chicago article that he was interviewed for 3 weeks ago. |
| 4:49
| The girl said she had a deadline but the article still hasn't come out. He was told it was an important interview but the girl couldn't have been less interested. |
| 4:50
| Caller Jim has some news for Steve. That Upscale Chicago kid was on Garry's show this week and he said Steve was going to be on his show next week. Steve's not signing a waiver for that. |
| 4:51
| This kid, William Kelly, is a complete tool shed. He interviewed Steve at the Oak Street Beachstro last summer. As usual it was sold to Steve and his staff as being really important. |
| 4:52
| Jim is the guy who has all those food trailers out by Steve's house. Steve has no idea what he's talking about. |
| 4:53
| Jim runs a gourmet food service. Is this the guy who Larry Wert keeps sending over to his house? |
| 4:54
| Jim has actually won the bonus prize, in addition to getting the pleasure of annoying Steve. |
| 4:55
| Steve's not interested in buying any food out of the back of some guy's Chevy Love truck. He prefers to stick to the regular stores. |
| 4:56
| Steve wants to play this promo again so Buzz can hear it. Perhaps they should chat about it afterwards. |
| 4:57
| Buzz thinks this guy comes from the David Hochberg school of broadcasting. At least David buys a ton of commercials. This guy is a tool shed. |
| 4:58
| All this guy does is use up resources around here. Every time he tapes his show there are a bunch of 4 foot tall Philippino chicks walking around. |
| 4:59
| This is why Steve doesn't like to do all the charity stuff, because all the monkeys come out of the tree. Now this guy is going to be at the Gilda's Club thing?! |
| 5:00
| Being on Upscale Chicago won't help anyone. It won't help anyone with cancer, it won't help Gilda's Club and it won't help Steve. It only helps William Kelly who will get to drop Steve and Buzz's name next year instead of Pam Anderson and Fergie. |
| 5:01
| What's the point of this guy taping the Gilda's Club thing and then airing it when it's over? How is that going to sell tickets? Who says yes to that? |
| 5:02
| When this thing was presented to Steve he was interested because it's a good idea. Before you know it you see the Susanna Homans and Jen Schrefbfs popping up and you don't want to be a part of it. |
| 5:03
| That's the world of charity though. People are always trying to bootstrap themselves to someone else's misery. You can't try to make yourself famous off someone who's sick. |
| 5:08
| Jeff Joniak is on the phone. He has a good partner in Tom Thayer. If it were Steve he'd be talking all over Jeff's call just knowing it would end up on NFL Films. |
| 5:09
| It's pretty exciting to watch Devin Hester. One thing Jeff doesn't understand about that runback is the way he hurdled over that one guy on the Chiefs. |
| 5:10
| You can see that Hester is looking straight forward and the guy on the Chiefs is sinking further and further out of his field of vision. Then Hester just jumps at the exact right moment. |
| 5:11
| Jamar Williams has been watching the tape of the return all week. Jeff had to ask Hester about it and he said it's just God-given. |
| 5:12
| Steve needs to take a break for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell because he's starving. He's going with the Burrito Supreme today which he has tricked-out to his specifications. |
| 5:13
| Steve saw a video online of Devin Hester pumping gas into a sweet, tricked-out convertible. Jeff actually saw that car in the parking lot today and he didn't know who it belonged to. |
| 5:14
| The Bears resigned Dirk Johnson again just in case Maynard has any trouble in practice tomorrow. He practiced today and he looked fine. |
| 5:15
| They also released Adi Jimoh but he's a guy they can resign. Jeff's probably glad he's gone just because it's a hard name to pronounce. |
| 5:16
| Buzz is wondering what he does after he's been released. He'll probably just hang out in the area in case they resign him. |
| 5:17
| He probably got signed for the league minimum but of course that's not guaranteed money. |
| 5:18
| It has to be hard for a guy like Dirk Johnson though. He's signed on a Saturday and then shows up to Soldier Field on Sunday not knowing anyone. |
| 5:19
| He bobbled the first snap he got but then kicked the hell out of it. Then he got his bell rung a little bit. |
| 5:20
| The Bears are very healthy right now, with the exception of Brown and Dvoracek of course. Greg Olsen will play on Sunday too. |
| 5:21
| Billy Jack told Steve and Buzz today that Rex is going to come out gunslingin' on Sunday. Jeff's not sure if that's a great idea. We will see more of Rex going deep though. |
| 5:22
| Right now the Bears are at the bottom in many offensive categories so they should forget about the gunslinging and focus on moving the chains. They need to get first downs. |
| 5:23
| Rex does need a little more confidence though. He needs to be more like Tony Romo. He blows that playoff game and then he goes back to nailing Jessica Simpson. |
| 5:24
| Jeff's not totally sold on Tony Romo. His career has sort of paralleled Grossman's except for the injuries. |
| 5:25
| Romo came out big last year and his star was rising. But by the end of the season he was throwing interceptions and fumbling balls. Steve's not rooting for him, it just seems like he has swagger. |
| 5:26
| The other thing about Romo is that he was young and trying to unseat a veteran in Drew Bledsoe. It gives you a different inertia. |
| 5:27
| Even though it's only week 3 it's a huge game for the Bears. Over the last few years they've pretty much dominated the NFC and this game could determine home field for the playoffs. |
| 5:28
| Steve listened to Jeff's show on WBBM with the Bears coaches this week. |
| 5:29
| Steve thinks they're going to win this week but he always thinks that. Jeff thinks they'll win as well. The Bears defense is on right now. |
| 5:30
| Jeff is never going to break Tom Thayer's record calling in on a cellphone. Can't he call from Halas Hall? |
| 5:31
| Tom Thayer sets up in Hilgie's basement on a land line with a nice iced tea and he does an hour and 10 minutes no problem. |

| Steve likes to do things in threes so he's going to play a third Beach Boys song. |
| 5:38
| Song: Kokomo, The Beach Boys |
| 5:41
| Of course there is no Kokomo off the coast of Florida. There is a Kokomo in Indiana but it's not very tropical. |
| 5:42
| Who knows where they came up it thought. It was Mike Love and John Philips, there are a lot of reasons why they could have come up with it. |

| 5:48
| Steve's pretty sure he's never said "respectively" three times in a commercial. It's kind of exciting. |
| 5:49
| Time for some sports. The Cubs beat the Pirates 13-8 today. Did anyone ever call in with the magic number for the Brewers? Steve's pretty sure it's 14 which is exciting for Cubs fans. |
| 5:50
| Brendan did some research online and you can only have a magic number if you're in first. Does he know what the Brewers magic number is though? |
| 5:51
| You'd think one of the Cubs fans would get the info for Steve since this is about the Cubs. |

| Steve's going to take a break and then try this again. |
| 5:57
| Frank Caliendo was on the show last Friday and he was talking about how he's obsessed with doing Charles Barkley's voice. |
| 5:58
| As it turns out Charles Barkley |
| 5:59
| Caller Steve isn't sure if he's figured this out correctly but if the Cubs magic number is 8 then the Brewers elimination number is 8. Steve's still trying to figure out the magic number for them to win the division though. |
| 6:00
| Steve has something that says the Brewers magic number is 12 which was Steve's original calculation. |
| 6:01
| Back to the sports. Barry Bonds says that the Giants will not bring him back next year. That sort of makes sense since he's a distraction. |
| 6:02
| The White Sox are in Minnesota to take on the Twins tonight. Mark Buehrle against Johan Santana would normally be a good match-up if both teams weren't out of it. |
| 6:03
| Several White Sox players are also going bear hunting in Minnesota. It's good to see they're taking last place seriously. |
| 6:04
| TBS has announced that Steve Stone and Bob Brenly will be part of the broadcast team for the MLB post-season. Steve has to say that now that he's been watching more Cubs games he's starting to like that Bob Brenly. |
| 6:05
| Steve particularly liked the way Brenly interviewed Ryne Sandberg the other day. Ryno managed the Peoria minor league team last year which is pretty much like high school kids. Brenly managed the DIamondbacks to a World Series win so he could have thrown down hard but instead he was helping Ryno talk about it. |
| 6:06
| TBS will also team up Chip Caray with Tony Gywnn. Steve did not like Chip Caray but no one here really did. It didn't seem that hard to ingratiate yourself with fans here but he managed not to. |
| 6:07
| MLB.com has posted a video of Braves GM John Scherholz, Hall of Famer Phil Niekro and huge Braves fan Sir Elton John. |
| 6:08
| Sir Elton adopted the team when he purchased a house in Atlanta. |
| 6:09
| This Monday Entertainment Tonight will air an interview with the New York pitcher who released photos of boxer Oscar de la Hoya in drag. Buzz still thinks it was a one-night thing missing the fact that all the clothing fit and he was wearing boxing gloves. |
| 6:10
| The photos look real to Buzz. We're going to need some sort of professional analysis of the photos, maybe from Quantico. |
| 6:11
| Two Florida State football players were suspended after being arrested in a bar fight. |
| 6:12
| Geno Hayes and Joe Surratt were arrested early Friday morning at a bar near the campus. Hayes had to be subdued with a Taser and Surratt hit one of the officer. |
| 6:13
| As we learned earlier in the week the campus police down there carry tasers. These were real cops though. It's never a good idea to hit a cop. |
| 6:19
| Don't tase me bro! Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! |
| 6:20
| News with Buzz |
| 6:21
| A teenager was arrested yesterday after policemen found hangman's nooses in the back of his pick-up truck in Jena, Louisiana. |
| 6:22
| The judge in the case still refused to lower the bail on the last teenager in jail because of his checkered past. Steve's not trying to come out in favor of nooses but is it illegal to have them? Isn't this more of a free speech thing? |
| 6:23
| An MIT student trying to make an artistic expression ended up causing problems at Logan International Airport today. |
| 6:24
| Police officers drew their weapons after they spotted Star Simpson wearing a circuit board on her chest. Steve doesn't get why this girl isn't in bigger trouble. |
| 6:25
| Her bond was lowered to $750. If Steve were a Muslim he'd claim racial profiling. |
| 6:26
| Caller Doug wanted to let Steve know that the kid with the nooses was arrested for inciting a riot. |
| 6:27
| Jeremiah Munson, who was a bullfrog, was arrested for contributing to the delinquency of a minor because he had a 16-year old passenger, as well as DWI and inciting a riot. |
| 6:28
| Mayor Bloomberg says he personally would not go see the Iranian president speak at Columbia University. |
| 6:29
| The Senate has rejected a measure to limit U.S. involvement in Iraq. |
| 6:30
| An outbreak of cholera has spread to Baghdad in Iraq. The most severe forms can lead to acute diarrhea and dehydration. Steve doesn't think diarrhea is that cute. |
| 6:31
| The search is on for a suspect who is believed to have shot two students at the University of Delaware. |
| 6:32
| The grass may not always be greener. Bears fans may have noticed that the center of Soldier Field is brown. Head groundskeeper Tim LeFevour said that the size of NFL players means the field has to be resodded at least twice a year. |
| 6:37
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |
| 6:38
| Caller Jack's uncle used to work on the Soldier Field grounds crew. At halftime he and his buddy would go into their room where guys would be barbecuing and drinking. |
| 6:39
| Steve's not saying they're professionals on the grounds crew. They come out at halftime in penny loafers and poke at the divots. |
| 6:40
| They can't really say it's because of the linemen though, that's ridiculous. Steve was at the game last week and it already looked terrible. |
| 6:41
| This would be the time to resod, not in the dead of winter. They would have to order the sod, it doesn't just grow on trees. Why doesn't this happen at other stadiums though? What happens is players come into town on Saturday and they go out to eat. When you eat in Chicago you eat more, hence therefore you weigh more and the field is in worse shape. If someone in your neighborhood had a lawn that looked that bad you'd call the city and they'd come and take care of it. |
| 6:42
| Britney Spears has been charged with one count of hit-and-run and one count of driving without a valid driver's license. The charges stem from an August 6th incident in a private parking lot. This is only going to further fuel that Chris Crocker kid. |
| 6:43
| It seems like she should have settled up right at the parking lot. Doesn't she have people to take care of this kind of stuff? |
| 6:51
| Steve's looking at a video of this Britney Spears thing. He sort of feels sorry for her because she's trying to park a car, there's paparazzi in the way and she barely hits a car. |
| 6:52
| Then she gets out of the car and they're asking her if she's OK. Then they ask her to squat down and look at the damage which she does. |
| 6:53
| She was trying not to hit a photographer but instead she hit a car. Any one of those people could have told her to leave a note on the car but they just cared about telling he to squat down and look at the bumper. No wonder she's crazy. |
| 6:54
| Steve did slam her door into the other car as she got out but if that's a crime then arrest Steve. |
| 6:55
| The Little Guys are back on WCKG. There's a picture of David, his wife and Ed somewhere on the website but Steve can't find it. It's pretty funny because Ed is wearing his headphones at a weird angle. |
| 6:56
| Steve can't tell you how much he enjoys ending the show with something he can't find and shouldn't have even brought up. |
| 6:57
| It's Fry Daddy Friday on the Matt Dahl Show. Matt won't tell Steve what he's frying but Buzz knows. |
| 6:58
| Buzz can only say that it's a creature. He walked into the kitchen and saw Matt preparing things for the show. |
| 6:59
| Steve has been trying to give Matt some ideas for stuff to fry since he's had trouble coming up with Steve. They like the beignet idea but they would have to have Buzz on the show. |
