| Terry was just looking at Steve's blog, he didn't know he was on friendly terms with Bill Wirtz. |
| 2:03
| A lot of Blackhawks fans aren't upset that he died which seems weird. He was always nice to Terry. Steve should have put that in his blog. |
| 2:04
| Stan asks Buzz if he knew a bunch of car guys growing up. Buzz knew them but distanced himself because he didn't know much about cars. What's the deal with all the leading questions today? Steve feels like he and Buzz are in a deposition. |
| 2:05
| Stan brings it up because he always sees people knocking the Edsel and he thinks it's a cool car. First of all, where does Stan see people knocking the Edsel? Is it the 40s? |
| 2:06
| Stan saw a list about the ugliest looking cars ever and the Edsel was on there. Where was that list posted, CrazyBlackGuy.com. |
| 2:07
| Stan just wanted to meet someone who owned an Edsel. Those things are probably work a lot of money even if people think they're ugly. Stan adds that Edsel was Henry Ford's son's name. This is all in his newsletter. |
| 2:08
| Stan's just fascinated that the Edsel is such a well-known car but he never runs into anyone who owned one. That's probably because it's 2007. The Edsel came out in the 50s! |
| 2:09
| Stan's plan is to clear the name of the Edsel but he needs to start finding people who owned them. The only knock Steve has heard on the Edsel is that they were ugly. Buzz is pretty sure they also didn't run well. |
| 2:10
| The grill was shaped like an egg. Maybe Stan needs to go on that Auto Scoop show. Steve figured out what the point of that show is. CBS owns Auto Scoop and the show drives people to the online classifieds website. Steve could never figure it out because the guy doesn't pick a side, lease or buy, used or new. |
| 2:11
| The Edsel was manufactured for three years, Stan didn't know that. He needs to do more research on it before he brings it to the table. |
| 2:12
| Stan doesn't care about when it was made, he just wants to clear the Edsel's name. He should have started his own show with this conversation. |
| 2:13
| He couldn't do it on his show because there's no one old enough who could have. It's probably better this way because Stan started his show asking Terry if he ever messed around with a married woman when he was single. |
| 2:14
| Terry had no idea how he got dragged into that question. Stan just wanted to know if Terry had ever done it in a car in a parking lot because that's where you do it with a married woman. |
| 2:15
| Stan saw two people going at it in the parking garage. He doesn't think you'd be doing that unless you were married. Why do they have to be married? Maybe they were just at work and wanted to do it. |
| 2:16
| Steve doesn't really want a graphic description of what Stan saw in the parking garage. Hasn't he been to any of the meetings where they tell you what you can't say? Stan must think he's enough of a wordsmith to get around it. |
| 2:17
| That being said, what level was Stan on when he saw this because Steve wouldn't mind checking it out. Buzz thinks it would be great is if they were doing it in an Edsel. |
| 2:20
| Steve has no idea what Stan was going for there. Maybe there is some tie-in between the Edsel and people having sex in a car. In the past people have said the grill looked like...you know. Maybe Stan's mind just flipped over. |
| 2:21
| Steve would have just stood there and watched though. Maybe that's what Stan was going for but other than that Steve doesn't know. |
| 2:22
| Steve has been thinking lately about how he regretted getting rid of his 1959 Apache pick-up truck. It was part of the purge after he stopped drinking. It was all restored too but Steve didn't want to have any more storage issues. It was a mistake. |
| 2:23
| There's that Chevy commercial with the John Mellencamp song and it has a truck just like it. Then Steve gets teary-eyed. He'd like to get it back but he doesn't know how to do it. |
| 2:24
| There's a place by Steve that buys and sells vintage cars, maybe he'll put an order in and see what happens. |
| 2:25
| Steve bought it for a couple hundred dollars from some guy he saw on the Stevenson. He spent a lot more restoring it but sometimes you have to purge. |
| 2:26
| Steve's looking for a song about the Edsel but so far none of them are very good. Steve's just going to go with a song about a Ford. |
| 2:27
| Song: Mustang Sally, Wilson Pickett |
| 2:30
| Steve was just watching that new show with Steve from Jerry Springer Show. He had to turn it off or else he'd run the risk of becoming fascinated. |
| 2:31
| Steve set-up a prostitution sting in a hotel room. The woman's family was in the next room and they were upset. She was sitting on a sofa next to the bed and he's sitting on the coffee table. His very language was disturbing. |
| 2:32
| Steve was trying to help her and he said it was bad that she was a prostitute but that her family would forgive her but not forget. You probably wouldn't forget it if someone in your family was a prostitute. |
| 2:33
| Then she started crying and asked for help. He sort of hugged her and picked her up but it seemed like part of him just wanted to send the family home and have some fun. His body language was all over the place. |
| 2:34
| Somebody must have contracted to have her be in that room which seems like breaking the law. So it's not that different than OJ's hotel sting but without guns. |
| 2:35
| Steve loves the prostitution stings, those are some of his favorite COPS episodes along with Tased and Confused and Bad Girls. Buzz is going to try and find the video of the kid in Florida getting tased, mixed with the MC Hammer Can't Touch This Video. It works very well actually. |
| 2:36
| Steve then switched on CLTV and was drawn in by something else. It was a picture of Elton John at a piano and underneath it said "porn probe." It's actually one of Buzz's breaking stories. |
| 2:37
| That Jim Turano guy is obsessed with Elton John. That's probably because Elton has one of the best toupees in the business. After learning that Steve could see that Jim sort of tries to look like Elton. |
| 2:38
| It seems weird to be obsessed with Elton John unless you're gay. And if Jim is gay that's fine. Steve likes Goodbye Yellow Brick Road but he's not obsessed with him. Jim collects his sunglasses and stuff like that. |
| 2:39
| It seems like if you're going to worship a gay guy you should be gay. Otherwise there's a disconnect that you can't get around. |
| 2:40
| If it turns out Jim is gay there's nothing wrong with that. In a way it works out perfectly if Garry has a gay sidekick. |
| 2:41
| A photograph owned by Elton John was seized last week on the eve of an exhibition of works he owns at a gallery in England. |
| 2:42
| The photo, Klara and Edda Belly-Dancing by Nan Goldin, has been widely shown in other countries according to Sir Elton. Buzz saw it and one of the girls is posed suggestively. OK Elton Buzz. |
| 2:46
| Steve forgot that Can't Touch This was a sample of Rick James' Superfreak. That's a funny video though. Don't tase me bro! |
| 2:47
| Caller Jules is a guy. Just an FYI for Brendan, Jules is one of those names where Brendan needs to identify as a guy or a girl. Steve thought this would be a girl. |
| 2:48
| Jules wanted to let Steve know that Elton Jim was talking about catching a sweaty towel from Elton John at a concert which he then had hermetically sealed. That's not right. |
| 2:49
| Caller Tim did a YouTube search on "Elton Jim" and the first video on there is Jim Turano. It's almost a 9 minute video of Jim and his wife. So he is married. |
| 2:50
| Steve can't believe all the stuff he has in his collection. Wouldn't it be funny if Elton John collected Jim Turano stuff? Steve has to turn it off because it's creepy. |
| 2:51
| That is creepy but Jim has a wife. As Steve has learned that doesn't mean you aren't gay. |
| 2:52
| Steve didn't mean he had discovered that about himself. That came out wrong. It seems like it's too late in life to discover you're gay though. |
| 2:53
| Buzz has known some guys who figured it out in their 30s. Steve still thinks a lot of it has to do with access, like those guys in bathrooms and forest preserves. Maybe you're not gay you're just pragmatic. |
| 2:58
| Buzz is about to be fish tacoed by Chuy Valencia from Adobo Grill. What does Chuy translate to in English? |
| 2:59
| Chuy is a nickname for Jesùs. Steve did not know that. They probably don't say Chuy in church do they? |
| 3:00
| You might recall that last Thursday's Tribune featured a heartwarming tale of Steve's first fish taco in Mexico. One of the places mentioned in Kevin Pang's article was Adobo Grill. |
| 3:01
| Adobo Grill was also featured on Sunday Night Football this past week. Chuy says guacamole just like Steve used to with the W sound. Steve always said it like that but his kids made fun of him. |
| 3:02
| Buzz recalls seeing a table full of women in the footage from Adobo Grill. Steve can't wait any longer, he's digging into the taco. |
| 3:03
| The tacos were just made on the way over. It's fried tilapia and it's very good. |
| 3:04
| There are now 4 Adobo Grill locations including one in Indianapolis. There's the original on Wells, then the one in Wicker Park and the new one in Lombard. Chuy is the chef at the Wells Street location. |
| 3:05
| Chuy studied at the Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco and then came to Chicago and started making Mexican food. He already knew a lot about it from when his youth. |
| 3:06
| These are really good tacos, Steve's going to have a few more after Chuy leaves. |
| 3:07
| Chuy also brought a few spice rubs that they make at Adobo Grill. Did fish taco business pick up after the article last week? |
| 3:08
| Chuy did notice an increase in fish taco and seafood orders over the weekend. The fish taco is only on the brunch menu though. They should think about adding it permanently. They can call it the Esteban if they want. |
| 3:09
| Chuy also brought a mortar and pestle so Steve can make his own guacamole. Steve's going do demand Buzz make him some tableside guacamole by the end of the show. |
| 3:16
| Those are good fish tacos, they should think about adding them to the permanent menu. Although that's a good reason to go to the brunch though. Steve could probably eat his money's worth in fish tacos. He's already had three. |
| 3:17
| During the break Buzz asked Chuy about molè sauce. Some restaurants actually don't have it so Buzz didn't want to ask him on the air. |
| 3:18
| Turns out they have several different molè sauces. Every family has a different recipe for molè so they're all different. |
| 3:19
| When Steve was in Mexico with Rich Melman he brought back some molè powder. By the time they got to the Dallas/Forth Worth airport for the connecting flight he was worried that the customs agents would think it was heroin. Plus his carry-on case was one of those metal Halliburtons. |
| 3:20
| Steve was going to partner with Rich on Hat Dance but he was worried that between what he'd seen during the week in Mexico and a possible stop at customs that Rich wouldn't want to. |
| 3:21
| Steve went into the bathroom and got rid of the molè sauce but they must have had a camera in there or just thought he was acting nervous so he was stopped and searched. |
| 3:22
| Luckily Steve was able to make light of the situation and Rich thought it was funny and now it's a story he likes to tell. But at the time Steve didn't know, especially after Rich saw Steve in action for an entire week. |
| 3:23
| Buzz isn't really a fan of fish but he liked those fish tacos with the sauce and the lively spices. He can't wait to go there and eat. |
| 3:24
| Plus as a molè fan Buzz's world is going to be expanded in a quantum manner. He was also assured by Chuy that he'd receive personal attention which is what Buzz demands. |
| 3:25
| This past Saturday Steve received a Google blog alert for himself. It was a link to the Chicago Bike Racing blog that Steve and Buzz were mentioned on before. |
| 3:26
| There was a hit-and-run during a bike ride for the XXX Racing-AthletiCo team. They were riding on the solid white line of the shoulder which Steve considers being on the road. |
| 3:27
| During the ride a white pick-up truck passed them, veered off the road and braked either to scare them or maim them. How do they know that? |
| 3:28
| There was no way to avoid a pile up and as soon as it started the driver sped away. It's funny to think of all the bike riders piling up like that. |
| 3:29
| The fifth rider in the line went end over end and wound up under the truck, slicing his shin open on the tailpipe. The president of the team also gashed his knee and was taken to the hospital. |
| 3:30
| 30 minutes after the attack the driver came back to turn himself in to authorities. He claimed that he had to brake suddenly to avoid a squirrel. There are a lot of squirrels this time of year collecting nuts. It's also funny to think of all the riders lying on the ground in their tight clothing. |
| 3:31
| It is not a hit-and-run since the driver turned himself in within two hours. The deputy informed the riders that the drivers story was BS and that he would push for a reckless conduct charge. |
| 3:32
| Buzz sees bikers every weekend in the park in their full biking gear. When you're pretending you're in a European bike race you have to go all out like that. |
| 3:33
| Finally the blogger mentions Steve's comments from a few weeks ago. Buzz will find out soon that this was all Steve's fault. Steve doesn't remember saying he wants to take the biker's jerseys and keep them as pelts but if he did it's a joke. |
| 3:34
| The blogger feels that Steve's comments contribute to a climate where this sort of conduct is acceptable. |
| 3:35
| The blogger adds that maybe North Shore cyclists need to do a better job of sharing the road. They're always re-examining aren't they? If they were really doing that they'd think twice about the bike shorts. |
| 3:36
| This has been edited a little bit because originally it mentioned that the driver had Florida plates, indicating he could have been a listener. That doesn't even make any sense which is probably why it was taken out. |
| 3:37
| Then you start getting emails from the cyclists. Steve feels if we went back and listened to the tapes you'd see that Buzz was doing just as much contributing to the climate as Steve but he's not even mentioned. |
| 3:38
| Steve's trying to read these letters in a way that he gets to the worst one last. The first emailer warns Steve that if this guy is a listener they'll try to get Steve charged as an accomplice. This guy's signature is "if you play Defender I can be your hyperspace." Steve doesn't even know what that means. |
| 3:39
| The next emailer finds Steve's comments grossly inflammatory and wonders if it's just a joke or if he's a cro-magnan knuckle-dragger. Ouch! |
| 3:40
| Steve doesn't remember what was said but he didn't say to go out and hit cyclists. They just said they're annoying and it might be tempting and you can see why after reading these emails. |
| 3:41
| Here's a nice one that starts "hey fat-ass", a good way to open the lines of communication. He threatens to take Steve's pelt as a pelt if he doesn't share the road. How are they going to catch him? They're on a bike, he's in a high-performance sports car. |
| 3:47
| Dan Jiggetts from Comcast Sportsnet is on the phone. The Bears officially announced Brian Griese as their starting QB. It's not going to end all their problems though. |
| 3:48
| There are problems on the defense with injuries, probably because they were out on the field for 50 minutes in the game on Sunday. |
| 3:49
| At some point the offense has to realize that they need to start pulling their weight a little bit and stay out there for a while. |
| 3:50
| At least on paper Griese should be able to execute the offense properly. Dan thinks it's a big change though. Rex is probably looking forward to a break anyway. |
| 3:51
| The fans were brutal on Sunday night. Some of the stuff they say to players is unbelievable. |
| 3:52
| Now the onus is on the receivers, the offensive line and the running backs to have a good game. They can't blame it on Rex any more. |
| 3:53
| Buzz is wondering what Dan thinks about Rex's future. His contract is up after this season so unless something miraculous happens we've probably seen the last of him in Chicago. |
| 3:54
| Here's what Steve is hoping for with Griese. This is his big chance, he wants to impress his dad, and he's going to come out like Bret Favre and be incredible. |
| 3:55
| Then Griese will stay that way for 4 or 5 years. In the meantime the Bears will draft their franchise quarterback and groom him and he'll learn from Griese. Buzz was just thinking he'd beat the Lions. |
| 3:56
| This could be eat for Griese and sometimes that allows players to reach down and play well. Of course Rex couldn't do that on Sunday but what are the odds it'll happen twice in a row. |
| 3:57
| If Steve were a player and he knew Rex wasn't the future it'd be hard for him to play at 100%. |
| 3:58
| The Lions game will not be as easy as everyone thinks it will be. But the Lions offensive line has some injuries. |
| 3:59
| The Cubs are down in Florida tonight and Comcast has the game. It seems like the Cubs are going to make the playoffs even if Sox fans don't like it. |
| 4:00
| It's encouraging for Steve that the Bears pulled the trigger this quickly on Brian Griese. |
| 4:01
| Steve was at the Chiefs game and even though they won it seemed like something wasn't right. |
| 4:02
| It was disappointing on Sunday to see Rex just standing there on the sidelines. He wasn't talking to the receivers to figure out what was going wrong. |
| 4:03
| Steve's going to wait until something good happens with the Bears before he goes on Post Game Live. You don't want him on there after a loss. |
| 4:11
| Lovie sounded a little nervous making the announcement about Brian Griese. That was from Comcast, Steve didn't have the crowd cheer inserted in. TV people are fidgety and they can't just let Lovie make the announcement, they have to also insert highlights from the last game. |
| 4:12
| They're very fidgety at Comcast. They run entire programs about girls softball, you'd think they'd just let Lovie make the announcement without anything else. |
| 4:13

| 4:14
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:15
| The jury in the Phil Spector trial is officially hung which means it's a mistrial. Only in LA. They'll have to have another trial though, they have witnesses who said they heard Spector say he may have killed someone. |
| 4:16
| Iraq is not close to ending sectarian violence according to its prime minister Nuri al-Maliki. |
| 4:17
| More problems for Michael Vick. He failed a court ordered drug test, testing positive for pot. The court has ordered him to stay away from illegal drugs. Isn't everyone supposed to do that? |
| 4:18
| Paris Hilton is heading to Rwanda as soon as she finishes her latest movie, a horror musical. She must have just seen Hotel Rwanda and probably wants to stay at Don Cheadle's hotel. |
| 4:19
| There are many problems in Rwanda including warring factions, AIDS and malaria. Can't wait to go! What is Paris going to do over there exactly? |
| 4:20
| The search for Steve Fossett has now been narrowed to Death Valley. Steve still thinks they need to put a GPS on a hungry wolf and send him out there. |
| 4:21
| There's a new batch of photos featuring Oscar de la Hoya cross-dressing. Buzz didn't want to believe but he has to now. Oscar looks like he's having so much fun and he actually pulls the look off. |
| 4:22
| These new photos feature Oscar in white fishnets, a mini-skirt and high heels. How is he going to face his next opponent? |
| 4:23
| Why does he let people take photos? He has his fishnets, what more does he need? And if you're going to take photos, don't like the stripper leave with the camera. |
| 4:27
| Tomorrow morning Steve and Garry will be on the WGN morning news at 6:50. That's too early but Garry has to be here for his show. Steve's staying after Garry leaves because they had a cancellation. |
| 4:28
| Steve will be playing his guitar and getting cut-off whenever they feel like it for time. Then he gets to play one three minute song. That's all before 8:00. |
| 4:29
| They had a promo of the appearance on the Cubs game last night. They also have a place on the WGN website to post questions. You might recall that yesterday Steve read one that was posted by Bruce Wolf. |
| 4:30
| Steve didn't even want to know all this but he got the back story from Ron Lewis, who's friends with one of Bruce's friends. Ron reaches out to Bruce Wolf but it ruins Steve's bit. |
| 4:31
| It turns out that Jeff Hoover, producer of the morning news, asked Bruce to write some questions. That's the one Jeff posted so it takes some of the tarnish off the good job Jeff has been doing so far. He's just trying to cause trouble. |
| 4:32
| So Steve should probably mention that even though he didn't really want to know it. He's not always going for the truth here, this isn't a tax return. |
| 4:33
| Steve has the whole email from Ron if Buzz would like to hear it. He really takes all the fun out of it. Even though Ron dreams of being is showbiz this is why he became an accountant. Steve probably wouldn't make a great accountant because he'd always be trying to come up with a funny number at the audit. That said, Steve loves Ron. |
| 4:34
| This seems like unnecessary meddling on Ron's part though. He should have checked in before he went any further. |
| 4:35
| Bruce gave Jeff several questions including one where he took a shot at himself. So Steve feels obligated to mention it. But it does take all the fun out of it. |
| 4:36
| Steve was fine thinking that Bruce just posted this himself and he's crazy. Although there was the email about the show being "unlistenable" and that he should be on it. Maybe when Steve was drinking that would have been a good way to get to him but the show has never sounded better. |
| 4:41
| Bob and Ron will be here for there segment today and then tonight they're at Butch McGuire's from 10:00-midnight giving away tickets to Saturday's Dahlfins show at the House of Blues Back Porch Stage. |
| 4:42
| Saturday's show starts at 10:00, not 9:00 like the other shows. That's the first Buzz has heard of this but he's on a need-to-know basis. Steve's right behind Buzz on the need-to-know basis though. |
| 4:43
| Steve's still giving away tickets on the show through the end of the week. You can also stop by PJ Clarke's tomorrow night where Matt and Brendan will be from 10:00-midnight. |
| 4:44
| Those are both places Pete hangs out, will he be going to both appearances? Pete might send Catman in his stead tonight just to scope the place out. |
| 4:45
| It's nice that Pete supports Matt and Brendan, they really appreciated it. Steve wrongly thought that Pete showed up for the free drinks but he had to pay. There's always a 90% chance Ed Silha will pay anyway because he likes to roll big. |
| 4:46
| Ed's down in Florida right now for some Cubs baseball. He's the loneliest guy Steve knows, he's down there by himself. South Beach might be the place to hook Ed up with a professional, those are the finest in the world. |
| 4:47
| When Steve was down there he saw two people having sex on the top of a parking garage. That was after spending 4 hours trying to get into the Penthouse Super Bowl Party. |
| 4:48
| The closest they got was David Hochberg, in his Teva sandals, and Brendan, directing them into a room with only one way out. That was after spend 3 hours trying to get there, including a stopover at an Art Deco hotel because of a dinner miscarriage. |
| 4:49
| The outside of the club looked like a prison exercise yard because everyone was wearing their bling. This room they got into had nothing in it, just an entrance and they were selling t-shirts. It's just Hochberg and Brendan, standing there will his head bobbing. |
| 4:50
| Then they push their way 3 entrances down to the VIP area and they found out it's filled to capacity. Steve finally prevailed on everyone to leave and promised them a trip to a strip club. That was just a lie to get everyone in the car since it was 2:00 AM and they were going to the Super Bowl at noon. |
| 4:51
| Steve knew the strip club trip was bogus so his night was over. But just to cap things off there's a guy getting sex on the roof of a parking garage. It was just an insane night. |
| 4:52
| Maybe South Beach is Ed's kind of scene where he comes alive. Steve doesn't see it happening though. |
| 4:53
| Steve's pretty sure Ed goes by himself but maybe Pete knows. Steve has to now summon Pete because he's not there any more. |
| 4:54
| Ed likes to go and see the Cubs in various ballparks because he's International Ed Silha. It seems sad to go alone though. Hopefully he's staying in a nice place at least. |
| 4:55
| If someone could find out where he's staying Steve will send a girl over. He doesn't want any electronic recordings of what goes on though. |
| 4:56
| It's a fine line between civilian and professional down there. On any given night it could go either way depending on the person's situation. That's good news for an Ed Silha, traveling with a disposable income. |
| 4:57
| Ed doesn't seem willing to make that leap though. It's like he's waiting for a Jimmy Stewart movie to spring up around him. |
| 4:58
| Who knows though, maybe Ed will get something going with an octogenarian. Until you've done with a woman using a walker you can't knock it. They call him The Hip Breaker down there. |
| 5:02
| It's time fo the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve's having an original taco with the mild sauce. His sauce packet says "I'm just doing this between films." |
| 5:03
| Bob and Ron are here and they've got nothing going on. They do have their appearance at Butch McGuire's tonight where they normally hang out anyway. |
| 5:04
| How do Bob and Ron give tickets away? Steve's imagining them pulling names out of a dirty hat but it's just a box. Sometimes they give away pairs and sometimes sets of 4 for the ladies. |
| 5:05
| Bob and Ron don't get hammered at the appearances unless Ed is there to buy them drinks. They don't get free drinks at their appearances? That's not right, they need better representation. |
| 5:06
| Steve didn't know that the Harvey Wallbanger was invented at Butch McGuire's. He was also the first to put a celery stalk in a Bloody Mary, according to their website. |
| 5:07
| How are things in the dog walking business? Bob and Ron have access to people's houses when they're not there right? Are they fully licensed and bonded? |
| 5:08
| Ron is bonded but Bob is not. Steve doesn't like to think about either of them in his house when he's not there. He doesn't really even like them in his house when he is there. The last time they were there he tried to give them a lobotomy with a screwdriver so they would forget how to get there. |
| 5:09
| This week in rock history the birthday of John Locke, keyboard player for Spirit. It's also Linda McCartney's birthday this week, she was the keyboard player for Wings and she also sang some back-up vocals. |
| 5:10
| Steve has to call an audible right now. Ed Farmer is on the phone and Steve should probably talk to him since he has stuff to do. We still haven't gotten to the meat of Bob and Ron's segment so this is just a tease. |
| 5:11
| Ed tried to get Mike Dahl some t-shirts at the game last night. Steve still has a bruise on his arm from the last t-shirt he tried to catch from Ed. |
| 5:12
| The Sox have 5 games remaining in the season and then Ed flies home Sunday night out of Aurora. Is he going private? Some jet action maybe? Is he going back with one of the players? It's not Air Force One is it? |
| 5:13
| Is this a friend that Steve also knows and maybe he could get some rides as well? It's nice that Ed doesn't have to worry when the game ends either. It's a good way to end the season. |
| 5:14
| Ed's wondering about Buzz's kidney stones. He's hoping they're gone at this point. He still has to go back for a scan. Has Buzz had an IVT of his kidney? That's where they x-ray your kidney and watch the fluids go through. |
| 5:15
| Ed has a lot of kidney knowledge because he got one from his brother. Buzz was so high on narcotics he doesn't really even know what was going on. |

| Where is Ed right now, in the lockerroom? He's actually at Vertucci's Chicken just to stop and say hello. He's actually stopped eating meet just to see how he feels. |
| 5:17
| Ed almost lost it last night because the Sox blew a 5-1 lead. It'll be good for Steve to put this behind him and maybe watch the Cubs in the playoffs. |
| 5:18
| Ed wishes the Cubs the best. If the Sox can't represent the city then hopefully the Cubs will. Who knows what's happening with the Bears and Notre Dame is off to their worst start ever. |
| 5:19
| Based on the schedule Buzz thinks ND could start 0-8. They haven't lost to Navy in 42 years so hopefully they keep up that streak. |
| 5:20
| If Notre Dame could beat USC though that'd be better than Appalachian State beating Michigan. Ed doesn't hate Michigan even though he went to Notre Dame. He has a lot of respect for their program. |
| 5:21
| Ed's not making excuses for Notre Dame but he thinks Charlie Weis will be able to turn things around next year when there are more guys in the program that he recruited. |
| 5:22
| Steve has a real White Sox question for Ed. With Josh Fields doing what he has been doing this year does that present a problem for Joe Crede? |
| 5:23
| Ed thinks Joe Crede will be playing third base next year but if the Sox can't work out a new contract then they have a good back-up. |
| 5:24
| They need to overhaul the bullpen though. If you're in the Sox farm system right now you're probably thinking you can make a good impression in Spring Training. |
| 5:25
| The good news about the Sox doing bad this year is they'll get a high draft pick. Justin Verlander was Detroit's top pick after they lost 119 games. He's pitched a no-hitter and he appeared in the World Series. |
| 5:28
| There was some talk of Barry Bonds coming to the Sox next year. That doesn't seem like a good idea to Steve. |
| 5:29
| Ed doesn't deny that he's the best hitter baseball has ever had but he's not a good teammate. Although Ed never saw Babe Ruth play so he can't say for sure. |
| 5:30
| Ed will call in next week for a season wrap-up and maybe talk about the playoffs. |
| 5:37
| Steve has something that says the Harvey Wallbanger was invented in the 50's. Does that put it at odds with the claim that they invented it at Butch McGuire's? |
| 5:38
| According to Wikipedia the Harvey Wallbanger was invented by world champion mixologist Donato "Duke" Antone. He also invented the Rusty Nail, The Godfather and the Italian Fascination. |
| 5:39
| According to legend Harvey was a California surfer. After losing a surf contest he consoled himself with drinks at Duke's Blackwatch bar with some special Screwdrivers made with a dash of Galliano. |
| 5:40
| After several drinks, while trying to leave the bar Harvey kept banging into furniture and walls. Steve might have to write a song about this. It even has the surfing which works out perfectly. |
| 5:48
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 5:49
| This isn't As the Mortgage Turns, David has made some sort of conceptual turn here. Steve's going to turn the music off so he can full enjoy this since he hasn't read it yet. |
| 5:50
| Alright back to Bob and Ron. Steve had to take a break from them and talk to Ed Farmer. Steve's sure they're both Sox fans. |
| 5:51
| Actually Ron is a Sox fan but Bob is a Cubs fan. He wouldn't object to going to the free buffet at The Cell with Steve though. Maybe on dog night. |
| 5:52
| Was Steve the only one who wasn't surprised by the cover story on the Sun-Times today? Of course the Cubs let all city alderman by playoff tickets at face value. They're doing business in Chicago! |
| 5:53
| Buzz is always surprised by what's on the cover of the Sun-Times. Steve would be more surprised if they didn't let them buy tickets. |
| 5:54
| Buzz read the article looking for the outrage and he couldn't find any. Actually he has to give them credit for paying for the tickets. That's the surprising part. |
| 5:55
| At first Steve was outraged just because of the giant type. Buzz thought that maybe the outrage would come from the fact that the alderman did have to pay but that didn't happen either. |
| 5:56
| Alright back to the rock history. Does Pete have the Linda McCartney audio? Someone isolated her mic at some benefit concert. Steve is currently looking for a digital copy because he only has it on quarter-inch reel. Bummer. |
| 5:57
| Song: Helen Wheels, Paul McCartney & Wings |
| 6:00
| Steve would have thought he didn't want to hear that but it turned out to be quite enjoyable. On paper he was dreading it but he heard it and liked it. |
| 6:01
| Bob and Ron will be at Butch McGuire's tonight with their Harvey Wallbangers from 10:00-12:00 tonight giving away tickets for the Dahlfins show. |
| 6:06
| Ben Gay is here. It's all about the Benjamins isn't it? Buzz was just admiring Ben's fall outfit. It's very collegiate but it's a girl's outfit. |
| 6:07
| Ben was inspired by Oscar de la Hoya to wear the dress. He wasn't a cheerleader but he doesn't have the outfit. They're not hard to get as it turns out. Normally he wears it on Halloween but he decided to go with it today. |
| 6:08
| Ben was a male cheerleader, just like George Bush. Actually Ben ran into him at some sort of cheering combine. They're very much the same age. |
| 6:09
| Being a male cheerleader is a very athletic activity although holding women up on his shoulder was totally lost on Ben. |
| 6:10
| Ben also once had sex with Sparty the Spartan from Michigan State. Ben loved his time up in East Lansing, just loved it. Buzz's family are all Michigan fans so they're sworn enemies. |
| 6:11
| The Cubs are at Florida again tonight. Jason Marquis takes the mound against Daniel Barone. The Cubs hold a 2 game lead over the Brewers. |
| 6:12
| The Bears announced today that Brian Griese would start Sunday against the Lions. |
| 6:13
| Buzz is of course a Dolphins fan, or a Dolphan as they call them down there, so he knows all about Bob Griese. |
| 6:14
| Blackhawks owner Bill Wirtz died today at the age of 77. Steve wrote a nice blog about him today if anyone wants to check that out. |
| 6:15
| A lot of people were taking potshots at Wirtz but Ben found him to be wonderful. It's not like he wanted to lose. |
| 6:16
| The Sox continue their battle for last place with the Royals tonight at The Cell. |
| 6:17
| A Federal judge placed tighter restrictions on Michael Vick today after he tested positive for pot. |
| 6:18
| Vick must now stay home between 10 PM and 6 AM and submit to random drug tests. |
| 6:19
| New photos of Oscar de la Hoya show him in white fishnets and a t-shirt with fake breasts on them. Fellow boxer Floyd Mayweather dodged questions about the photos. |
| 6:20
| Nike has announced a new shoe designed specifically for Native Americans. What does that mean? |
| 6:21
| The coach of Oklahoma City's minor league hockey team prevented a stampede of Belgian horses by biting one of them on the ear. Doug Sauder was at the fair when he saw a horse break free from it's reins. He bit the ear because that's how you stymie a horse. Things are so exciting in Oklahoma right now between the crazy football coach and the minor league hockey coach. It makes Ben want to write a sequel to Oklahoma! Would Buzz be interested in working on it with him? |
| 6:30
| Buzz hates this Rex Grossman stuff. It's a guy's life and it was so fun last year. He's ruining our lives now though. |
| 6:31
| Steve's looking at the Nike N7, the first ever shoe designed specifically for Native Americans. Maybe it's good for walking around a casino. |
| 6:32
| It says that the shoe sizes are bigger and have a specific design. Do Native Americans have bigger feet? |
| 6:33
| Nike has announced that all profits from the shoes will go towards health programs for tribes. It has some sort of rainbow deal in the middle. It looks more gay. Ben's on his way up to the Nike Store to get a pair. |
| 6:34
| News with Buzz |
| 6:35
| A mistrial has been declared in the murder trial of Phil Spector. Legal analyst Royal Oakes feels there will be another trial. It should give Spector time to get a new wig. |
| 6:36
| The Native American foot is taller and wider, Buzz Widefoot. |
| 6:42
| It's hard for Steve to get a good fit on a shoe, he should get his own line. That's why they went with the moccasins. |
| 6:43
| Before we get back to the news Steve has the Linda McCartney audio. |
| 6:44
| Buzz remembers when that audio first made the rounds. The record company all but shot any disc jockey who played it. |
| 6:45
| Back to Buzz in the news room. |
| 6:46
| President Bush made a gaffe today during a speech about the No Child Left Behind Act. |
| 6:47
| Bush told reporters that "childrens do learn". |
| 6:57
| Steve has to be at WGN studios at 6:15 in the damn morning tomorrow. That's too early! |
| 6:58
| Garry has to be here at 8:00 which is why they're on so early. Maybe Garry needs a better time slot. |
| 6:59
| Steve doesn't know where to find the new Oscar de la Hoya photos. The only thing he could think to do was go to Perez Hilton because that's what the kids do. |
| 7:00
| Brendan recommends the X17 website. That's where the other ones were. Here we go Buzz! This is definitely him too. At least he's hanging with the ladies. |
| 7:01
| Why does he let anyone take pictures of him though? The girl is pretty hot but she's smoking which Steve doesn't like. |
| 7:02
| So X17 is the new Perez Hilton then? Just when Steve got used to Perez Hilton he can't go there any more. |
| 7:03
| It's sort of creepy when Buzz keeps coming over and looking at the photos over Steve's shoulder. |
| 7:04
| Steve is really looking forward to the next Mayweather/de la Hoya fight though. The last one got pretty ugly and there were no pictures like this. |
| 7:05
| Buzz is wondering how Jim Lampley will react to this. Steve thinks he'll go right at it. |
