| Jeff Garlin is being passed around like a $2 whore. Anything else from Stan and Terry? |
| 2:07
| Now Jeff is on with Steve. Jeff's great but he's crazy burnt out. He's reinvented burnt out. |
| 2:08
| Jeff's been doing press for Someone to Eat Cheese WIth for a month. After this week the next time he'll have to talk about is when the DVD comes out. |
| 2:09
| Steve has no idea how many people have come up to Jeff and told him how cool it was to see Steve in the movie. Jeff gave him the funniest line in the movie. |
| 2:10
| All the other radio people in town are very jealous that Steve was in the movie too. Steve has no idea about the level of jealousy. |
| 2:11
| Jeff has heard from other people that Steve's only been watching Someone to Eat Cheese With up until his cameo. |
| 2:12
| In reality it's the opposite. Steve doesn't want to see his cameo and when his part comes up he turns it off. |
| 2:13
| Steve has ordered the movie from Comcast 5 times and he finally watched it last night. The scene was great and Jeff did Steve a solid by not showing him waddle off frame. |
| 2:14
| How about a sequel where Steve's character, the dad from the hot dog stand, has sex with Sarah Silverman. Jeff might recut the movie to make it appear like that happened. |
| 2:15
| Steve's never met Amy Sedaris but he was in the Admiral's Club with Sarah Silverman. She was filing her nails which is usually a turn off for Steve but it wasn't there. |
| 2:16
| Today when Jeff was on another show he went into the bathroom. There was a guy in the stall using the bathroom and clipping his nails. That's about as disgusting of a multi-task as you can think of. |
| 2:17
| When Steve was writing his blog today he finally corrected Jeff's name in his spell check. Normally it to be Jeff Garlic. |
| 2:18
| Jeff heard that Steve went to a Bears game with John Cusack. Actually he just ran into him at the game. Steve's known him for a long time, since he was a kid. |
| 2:19
| Steve was in Grandview, USA and he did not have a funny part. When Steve got the the wardrobe place for the movie John Cusack was waiting there to drive him around. |
| 2:20
| So Steve and John talked a little Bears football at the game. That's a sad state of affairs though. The worst part for Jeff wasn't the Cowboys loss but the Lions loss. |
| 2:21
| At least Jeff has the Cubs though, he might be able to get to the game. Jeff will be at the Music Box on Friday and Saturday doing Q & A after the movie. He's not sure if a lot of Cubs fans will show up though. |
| 2:22
| Jeff introduces his movie on the IFC channel but Steve felt it was very lackluster. Steve's just kidding. It's a very funny movie though and there are a lot of good cameos. |
| 2:25
| Someone to Eat Cheese With will be at the Music Box starting on Friday but it's also on Comcast On Demand in the IFC section. |
| 2:26
| Jeff will be doing Q & A's after the 7-something show and before the 9-something show. It'll be lively. |
| 2:27
| Jeff is nauseous after eating a Pop Tart. The last time he was hear he was trying to sneak the Pop Tarts because he didn't want this wife to know about. |
| 2:28
| Steve was told that Jeff was on Jimmy Kimmel's show after Kanye West and things did not go well. |
| 2:29
| Jeff was originally booked with Jessica Alba. Jeff was on Conan with her and she's boring. She reinvents the wheel with boring. She also reinvents the wheel with hot though. If she came out in a bikini it would be fine. |
| 2:30
| So Jeff begged to switch shows and they put him on with Kanye. He doesn't mind being second as long as it's a good lead-in. |
| 2:31
| So the opening segment was Jimmy talking to that YouTube kid defending Britney Spears. Jeff was furious about it so he went into the control room and asked the director, who's a friend of his, if they're going to cut this kid down to 1 minute or nothing. Jeff was told they would because the show ran 13 minutes over. |
| 2:32
| Then Kanye comes out with his sunglasses and a scarf. Jeff doesn't understand the indoor sunglasses unless you have an eye problem. |
| 2:33
| Kanye is a really talented guy and he's got the #1 album in the country. But he spent the whole time saying how he should have won a VMA and he's ripping into the New York Times. Jeff figured that at that time no one would be watching. |
| 2:34
| Kanye brought easily 70 people with him. Jeff just had his publicist who happened to have sunglasses and a scarf with her so he put those on and went out saying that Comedy Central doesn't know him and Entertainment Weekly only gave the movie a B. |
| 2:35
| Then Jeff pulled off the sunglasses and scarf and asked Jimmy why he was talking to that blond-haired kid for so long. Then he wondered why Kanye was so worried about what everyone else though. |
| 2:36
| Kanye's segment and Jeff's segment are both on YouTube. And of course the Britney Spears kid got some sort of development deal from that. |
| 2:37
| Jeff is amazed at all the people who are involved in entertainment and shouldn't be. Stop Jammin' Me by Tom Petty is a perfect song for that entire situation. |
| 2:38
| Jeff's PR person is signaling that he has to go so that means he has to go. He's welcome back anytime though, he doesn't have to have something to promote. |
| 2:39
| Jeff will be back in Chicago at the end of November to play Zanies. It's his last comedy club appearance ever. |
| 2:40
| Jeff also wanted to say that he thinks Pat Dahl is very talented and he'll be very successful. |
| 2:41
| Buzz is wondering why this is Jeff's last club appearance. Is he moving on to stadiums? Jeff going to do a tour with Richard Lewis and Susie Essman and then he probably do shows at places like Park West. |
| 2:42
| Jeff's got two sons and he's doing movies and TV shows so there's a lot going on. |
| 2:45
| So the movie once again is Someone to Eat Cheese WIth. It starts at the Music Box this Friday. That's on Southport and Addison or maybe Grace. Steve's not that familiar with the area. |
| 2:46
| The movie is very funny and it'll be there for a week. Steve's in it too and he has a funny part although it doesn't really advance the plot. It was nice of Jeff to keep Steve in there. He's not really a guy who cuts something out that's funny. |
| 2:47
| It is irritating that all these people are getting famous for nothing. Jeff held his tongue but he knew the blond kid's name. Buzz is the news guy though so he knows that kind of stuff. |
| 2:48
| Chris Crocker is probably working on a new video now that Britney's kids got taken away. "GIVE HER HER CHILDREN BACK!!!" |
| 2:49
| Buzz thinks he's spent himself but he did get a reality TV show off of it. |
| 2:50
| When Buzz left his house today it was full of Little Guys. He's glad he left because it was a technical mess. They're installing surround sound and the HD TiVo. Did Buzz win the lottery or something? |
| 2:51
| Buzz has been waiting 10 years to do this. Buzz remembers in 1980 when his mom still didn't have a color TV. She said she wanted to wait until the perfected it. |
| 2:52
| Steve's having all kinds of trouble trying to download Jammin' Me from iTunes. This is not the time for that to happen so Steve's going to take a break. |
| 2:53
| Pete's looking for the song in the other room but that doesn't do Steve any good. Plus there's a 50/50 chance that Pete will tell Steve if he found it. It seems easier to just play the commercials. |
| 2:57
| It took Steve three attempts but he finally downloaded the song. Ironically Jammin' Me was jamming up Steve's iTunes. |
| 2:58
| Song: Jammin' Me, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers |
| 3:01
| Steve had something interesting happen to him today. He had an important meeting today which made him a few minutes late to the gym. |
| 3:02
| Then Steve got into a fight with his trainer Cornell. They might have broken up. Steve was 20 minutes late but he still had time to do all his exercises. Plus Cornell gets paid anyway. |
| 3:03
| Steve told him this really wasn't the day for this but Cornell thought someone should have called him. Steve apologized but Cornell kept pouting so he put the weights down and walked off to do the treadmill. |
| 3:04
| Steve told him he'd see him on Friday but Cornell didn't want him to leave. He did anyway because he couldn't deal with that. That'll be a good reality check for Cornell. |
| 3:05
| Steve was looking forward to the weightlifting after the meeting just to get some aggression out. Instead there was more trouble. |
| 3:06
| Not that the meeting was that troubling but there was that thing in the paper today about the station so there has to be a hardcore meeting. The kind of meeting where the futures of scores of people are decided. |
| 3:07
| Steve's not training for anything so he can't just leave a meeting to get to the gym on time. Maybe Buzz will pull Cornell aside the next time he sees him and explain the situation. |
| 3:08
| Since it was 12:30 Steve had to dial it up on the treadmill. He doesn't do any of the alternatives to the treadmill like the elliptical machine. He doesn't care how bad his knee hurts from running, people look weird on that machine. You look like Goofy trying to ski or something. |
| 3:09
| Steve's favorite look over there is Drew on the stair machine with his bandana on, sweating profusely. |
| 3:10
| The other bad thing was the smell of Chinese food the entire time Steve was on the treadmill. It seems unfair to have a Chinese restaurant right next to the gym. |
| 3:11
| The smell is especially strong up where the treadmills are. Steve did not go in though, he resisted. |
| 3:12
| Hopefully everything will be fine with Cornell on Friday. He really didn't want to be there for 45 minutes with him after he'd already apologized. |
| 3:19
| Speaking of working out Steve has one more letter to read from a cyclist. That's all pretty much died down but Steve still enjoys the condescension and superior attitude that cyclists feel towards the general public. |
| 3:20
| A few weeks ago Steve and Buzz said something to the effect that cyclists are annoying and they hog the road. Cyclists think cars hog the road but roads are for cars. That's where you get into trouble. |
| 3:21
| Cars are big and they have engines, bike riders have to be careful. Sure they have the helmets and the bright shirts and the tight pants and they look great. Plus they have the shoes that click on the ground. This isn't Europe though, or breaking away. |
| 3:22
| Buzz said that he got buzzed by a cyclist and wanted to lay in wait for him when he came back around. Cyclists always buzz runners. |
| 3:23
| Last week there was an accident involving some cyclists and a car. The blogger blamed Steve saying the driver was one of his listeners since he had Florida plates. He later removed that because it doesn't make sense. |
| 3:24
| This email is from a guy who's email address has triathlon in it so he's hardcore. At least Steve admits that he's not training for anything. Triathlons mean nothing. It's just something to do on a Saturday or Sunday. Are kids trading triathlete cards? No, it means nothing. |
| 3:25
| The letter is addressed to Steve O which is not what he goes by. Steve's rant about hitting cyclists is the most asinine thing this guy has ever heard. Steve also has no respect for others. Then there's a bad word. |
| 3:26
| Cyclists are at a disadvantage on the road according to this guy. That's because they're bikes. They're not as big and powerful as a car. You can wear all the bright shirts and helmets you want but if you're a biker and you get hit by a car you're going to be crushed. |
| 3:27
| Then he says that Steve's rant about cyclists would be like him saying he likes to push over handicapped people. Plus now people are going out of there way to do the things Steve talked about. |
| 3:28
| Then it starts to get really mean. From the looks of Steve this triathlete believes Steve hasn't been near anything athletic in his life. |
| 3:29
| Someday he hopes Steve gets his based on his lifestyle. Maybe a heart attack, stroke, lung cancer, liver disease or heart disease. Steve's not aware of any photos of him smoking. |
| 3:30
| Finally the triathlete doesn't think Steve belongs on the radio and should instead be under a rock. He also wishes the worst on Steve. Hopefully karma will get back to this guy. |
| 3:31
| Steve's pretty sure that's the last letter from a cyclists but it's the best one. Just a reminder, this guy is a triathlete which means nothing. Steve can run, bike and swim but why would he want to do them all together. |
| 3:32
| Steve didn't email the guy back because it seemed pointless. The guy wished all that bad stuff on him so the relationship probably can't be saved. |
| 3:33
| It definitely doesn't make Steve want to run these people off the road any less. |
| 3:34
| Buzz tries not to respond to emails like that either because once you send that first one your involved. He responded to that guy who wants Steve and Buzz to talk more about the 9/11 conspiracy. |
| 3:35
| Buzz responded "what do you want us to do?" and he sent him back a long list of things they can do. His conspiracy theory is that the government is behind 9/11. He wasn't mean to Buzz though. |
| 3:36
| 2 days later someone else sent Buzz a copy of a letter from the guy who started The Truthers, a group of people who are trying to get to the bottom of 9/11. |
| 3:37
| In the letter he said that all the evidence they'd come up with was fake and wrong and then he quit the organization. |
| 3:40
| Chuck Garfein is on the phone. He's sitting on his computer, preparing to host Chicago Tribune Live. He wants to be as well-versed as possible for the sports news of the day. |
| 3:41
| Obviously they'll start with the Cubs because that's the big story. They'll be talking to Len Kaspar who's out in Arizona. Chuck's trying to figure out who has the edge in the series. |
| 3:42
| Even though Arizona had the better record and took the season series 4-2 against he Cubs it seems like everyone is picking the Cubs. People say experience means nothing in the playoffs but Chuck thinks Lou's experience will be good for them. |
| 3:43
| Steve saw Mark Grace on the Diamondbacks pep rally last night completely selling out. He gets that the Diamondbacks are paying him and he won a World Series there but you can't say that and think it's not going to end up on TV. |
| 3:44
| So Chuck thinks the Cubs will beat the Diamondbacks but he's not sure what to think about it. He grew up a Sox fan but he didn't hate the Cubs. He rooted for them in '84 and '89. |
| 3:45
| Then he went away to college and wasn't in the city for a while. Now that he's back he feels like it's all sort of in his face. He does think the Cubs are way overdue to win the World Series but he doesn't want to see it. |
| 3:46
| Steve's not like that though, even though he has allegiances to the Sox. Chuck doesn't think he'd be able to put on a Cubs hat like Daley did. |
| 3:47
| If the Sox had a better season Chuck might be OK with it. Steve thinks the Sox deserve for this to happen. This is retribution for them playing so badly this year. |
| 3:48
| Maybe Chuck is just having a problem because of the turn-around since 2005. Even last year they won 90 games. That would have gotten them in the playoffs in the NL. |
| 3:49
| Chuck should look at it this way. If the Cubs do win then everything will be even. And we won't have to hear about the curses and the goat and all that other crap. |
| 3:50
| Then hopefully the Cubs fans enjoy it because afterwards it's just shrieking nothingness. |
| 3:51
| Chuck felt that it was over for the White Sox this year when the Cubs swept them at home. |
| 3:52
| There's nothing wrong with wanting the Cubs to beat the Diamondbacks, especially after that chach rally they had last night. And Gracie's selling out too! |
| 3:53
| Chuck's going to try to find that video and run it on Chicago Tribune Live. Steve's not a Cubs fan but even he thought it was disturbing. Mark Grace is an icon in Chicago. |
| 3:54
| You can't do something like that after playing for the Cubs. And everyone here was so happy for him when he went to Arizona and won the World Series. |
| 3:55
| Comcast doesn't have the Cubs games but they will have extensive pre and post-game coverage. The games are on TBS which is a whole other controversy. |
| 3:56
| In previous years when the playoff games were on ESPN local fans were able to see them on broadcast TV. But now TBS has exclusive rights to air the games. |
| 3:57
| Initially Chuck thought that it wasn't a big deal because everyone has cable but not everyone does. Some people can't afford it and older people might not have it and can't go to a bar to watch it. |
| 4:03
| "Beat the Cubs" is not a good thing for Mark Grace to be chanting. He probably got caught up with some hot chicks in the front row or something. |
| 4:04
| It sounded to Chuck like there were 5 people at the Diamondbacks rally. There were definitely less than at Daley Plaza. Every time he sees Daley Plaza he's reminded of Blues Brothers. |
| 4:05
| And now onto the Bears. It seems like everyone has gotten over the loss on Sunday but now it's on to the Packers. Last year on New Years Eve Bears fans were just glad that they'd never have to deal with Favre again. |
| 4:06
| Then he decided not to retire and the Packers are 4-0. Steve has no idea what to think of the Bears, he just hopes someone pulls it together. |
| 4:07
| Chuck's never been to a game at Lambeau but he'd like to get up there some time. Steve has only been once but he was very hammered and doesn't remember what happened. |
| 4:08
| Steve might have been with Fuzzy Thurston for all he knows. He was with some Packers great but he can't remember who it was. |
| 4:09
| Chuck has the odds in front of him for the World Series. The Yankees are 2-1, the Red Sox are 3-1, and the Cubs are 5-1. The Rockies are 15-1 which Chuck would take. |
| 4:10
| Steve thought Brian Griese would have a break-out game on Sunday, he's a complete idiot. |
| 4:11
| Ben Wallace gets to wear his headband so that's big news. It was a team rule but Scott Skiles let the team vote and everyone said he could wear it. |
| 4:12
| It seems like the Bulls were a little taken aback that the whole thing blew up like it did. |
| 4:13
| Rex Grossman keeps saying he's one play away from being back in a game which is probably not good to say. |
| 4:14
| Live read: Balance for Life |
| 4:20
| Steve just snapped himself in the face with his headphones, he hates when he does that. Plus now his glasses are askew. |
| 4:21
| Live read: WCIU |
| 4:22
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:23
| Anukah Brown-Sanders may be $11.6 million richer after a judge awarded her that much money in a sexual harassment suit against Isiah Thomas. She only asked for $9 million. |
| 4:24
| It's a bad sign when the judge gives $2 million more than the person asks for. |
| 4:25
| Hillary Clinton has taken the lead in campaign contributions, at $26 million compared to Barack's $20 million. |
| 4:26
| Roughly 4,000 monks are headed to a Burmese jail in the wake of protests last week. Over 1,000 monks were killed in the protests. |
| 4:27
| A judge awarded Fred Goldman OJ Simpson's gold Rolex which was taken from him after his recent arrest. |
| 4:28
| You have to give Fred credit for being on top of OJ like that. If OJ had stayed on top of finding the real killer the way Fred stays on top of him he would have found him. |
| 4:29
| The planned parenthood clinic in Aurora is now open after weeks of protests. Steve's going out there to have an abortion tonight. |
| 4:30
| A grade school in Oak Lawn is renaming Christmas as to not offend Muslim students. They're calling it Winter Holiday Fest. |
| 4:31
| A lot of this insanity comes from the schools. What if Steve wants to rename Ramadan? Previously Muslims were denied the right to decorate the school for Ramadan. |
| 4:32
| What you have to do is let them decorate for Ramadan, not rename Christmas. What kind of Ramadan decorations are there anyway? Just call their bluff, they probably don't have decorations and if they do how bad can it be? |
| 4:33
| Tonight is the premiere of Caveman on ABC. Steve has seen that most people don't like it but he feels that you can't go wrong. Steve is hoping that he likes it. There are plenty of shows that TV critics don't like that are good. |
| 4:34
| Critics have to say it's bad because it's stupid. Adams Family was stupid but how great was that? Mr. Ed was stupid too! |
| 4:35
| Steve's not sure what that drop was from. Was it cavemen talking? Pete should feel free to speak up. |
| 4:36
| Steve missed the beginning where they said "Dear cavemen". Can Pete play it again? |
| 4:37
| Steve's still not sure he gets it, are there two cavemen talking? It still seems like a visual thing. |
| 4:38
| Fred Goldman saw a clip of OJ wearing his Rolex so that's how he knows about it. It doesn't seem right that he can just take the watch off a man's wrist. |
| 4:39
| He does owe the Goldman's millions of dollars. Buzz wonders where it stops though. Can he take the shirt off OJ's back if he likes it? |
| 4:40
| A shirt is more of a necessity where the Rolex is a luxury. It's probably up to the judge to make that decision. He can't have a watch in jail so it's a moot point. |
| 4:41
| Pete is not really looking forward to Cavemen but he'll probably watch it anyway. He does like the commercials though. |
| 4:42
| ABC could certainly screw it up if they make it too complicated. Buzz has a private interest in the subject of cavemen. He's done extensive reading on Neanderthals. |
| 4:43
| It started with him reading The Cave which was later made into a movie with Daryl Hannah that didn't do too well. She's a Cro-Magnon mixed in with a clan of Neanderthals. |
| 4:44
| The Cro-Magnons look a lot closer to humans than Neanderthals. The movie is Clan of the Cave Bear. Daryl Hanna plays a young Cro-Magnon girl separated from her family by an earthquake. Only Buzz would find this riveting. |
| 4:45
| Buzz is fascinated by Neanderthals because at some point they must have realized their race was dying out. How could they know if they couldn't really talk? There's some speculation in the book that Neanderthals had tremendous mental powers. |
| 4:46
| Steve doesn't really know about all of that stuff, he just knows the Gieco commercials. |
| 4:47
| Caller Paul wanted to let Steve know that the guys in the Gieco commercials aren't in the TV show. He's still hoping it'll be good. |
| 4:48
| Cro-Magnons lived from 40,000 to 10,000 years ago. Can they narrow it down a little bit? They lived in the Upper Paleolithic period of the Plasticene Epoch. |
| 4:49
| Who does the cave drawings? Are those the Neanderthals? |
| 4:50
| Steve's getting a lot of calls about this. Buzz has tapped into the caveman underground. Steve could have gone his whole life without knowing any of this. |
| 4:51
| Caller Barbara wanted to point out that the entire Clan of the Cave Bear series is very erotic reading. She hopes that Buzz isn't using those books as his only point of reference for cavemen. |
| 4:52
| Buzz only brought up the books as a pop culture reference for the listeners. He dug much deeper into it. If you go to Buzz's house you'll see a big library with tall wooden shelves and those sliding ladders. |
| 4:58
| We just ran an ad for Cavemen, what time is it on? Steve does want to see it, maybe he'll just watch it here, get some ribs caveman-style. |
| 4:59
| Ordinarily Buzz would call home and tell someone to TiVo the show but he's not sure what the situation is. If Ed is there the whole thing will take 2 days. Ed won't want to leave. |
| 5:00
| Ed was there a couple of weeks ago but today it was Beth and Jeff. Buzz was compelled to say to Beth "hey, you're not a Little Guy." She probably hears that a lot. |
| 5:01
| Caller Paul wanted to let Steve know that Janet Davies interviewed the three guys from Cavemen. They were in character and they were pretty funny. Hopefully it's funny, Steve's looking forward to it. |
| 5:02
| It's funny enough that it's three guys dressed as cavemen. Steve knows that and Buzz knows that and hopefully ABC knows that. |
| 5:03
| Steve should probably turn on ABC right now. He's not sure why he has CLTV on, it's the same 5 minute newscast over and over and over. Buzz likes to watch it for Amy Rutledge. |
| 5:04
| Steve prefers the traffic girl but the good news is if they're both ever at CLTV they won't fight over the girls. The traffic girl looks very high society, like they went to Oak Brook Mall, grabbed a shopper at gunpoint and forced her to do the traffic against her will. |
| 5:05
| It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve's going with the original taco and so is Buzz since it's Taco Tuesday. Steve always forgets that when he makes his choice for Tuesday he's choosing for 2. So far though he hasn't made a bad choice. |
| 5:06
| Steve was going to play Jump for the Cubs fans. He has two version on his computer though. One is the Van Halen version and the other is the fine Paul Anka version. It's pretty funny and cool in a weird way. |
| 5:07
| This makes Steve want to hear the tape of Paul Anka berating his band for wearing t-shirts. |
| 5:08
| There's a guy in Vegas, Joey Cheesy, who put together an entire act where he did rock songs in a lounge style, like Paul Anka. If Buzz remembers correctly he was just at the House of Blues. |
| 5:09
| He actually sold out the upper part. And Steve had to play the downstairs room?! Buzz feels it's a legitimate room and some big names have played there. Are they big names that Steve recognizes? |
| 5:10
| Steve felt like a singing waiter down there. It's Steve Dahl and catfish nuggets. |
| 5:11
| Song: Jump, Van Halen |
| 5:15
| Steve and Garry Meier did a version of that song for the Cubs in 1984 but Steve refuses to play it. At the time he wasn't not a Cubs fan. He was just drunk and wanted to go to San Diego. |
| 5:16
| There was a time when Steve was a Cubs fan but then WGN was so mean to him. The White Sox wouldn't let him back in so he was confused. He might have followed Harry Caray for a while. |
| 5:17
| There have been a few times in Steve's 30 years in Chicago where he jumped on the Cubs bandwagon. He jumped on in 1984 and wrecked it. Then he got involved in 1998 with the Sammy Sosa home run chase. |
| 5:18
| There was a time when Steve had Cubs season tickets. It might have all gone bad when Dan Falato left and went to go work at WGN. Steve can't remember for sure though. |
| 5:19
| Dan probably told the WGN people that Steve wrecked 1984 for the team. But there was a time when he could broadcast at Cubs games or go to the bathroom with Jim Frey on one side of him and Don Zimmer on the other. |
| 5:20
| At some point after Steve left WLS it went wrong. Then the Sox built the new stadium and Steve wrote the song. But when he first got here he was inclined to be a Cubs fan. |
| 5:21
| Steve doesn't want to hear his version of Jump but he also doesn't want to hear any of his White Sox songs. Win or Die Trying? Whatever happened to that? Remember the Don't Stop Believin' sing-along? |
| 5:22
| It seems embarrassing for a grown man to write a song about a team. Steve promises he'll never do that again. |
| 5:23
| Caller Matt wanted to let Steve know that John Mayer played the Back Porch Stage but Buzz already stole his thunder. That's what Buzz did on Saturday night though. He came out for one song and the place went nuts. That's how he rolls. |
| 5:24
| This just in, Dan Falato texting in. The Cubs wouldn't let Steve broadcast at spring training in 1985 but the Sox would. It could be as simple as that. Broadcast rights might be enough to win Steve over. |
| 5:25
| Steve's willing to leave it at that but Dan needs to talk to his boy Gracie about the "beat the Cubs" chants. |
| 5:26
| So John Mayer played the Back Porch Stage because it's more intimate. It didn't seem intimate to Steve though, it seemed weird and removed. |
| 5:27
| John Mayer is now dating Lyla from Friday Night Lights. He probably pulls the same scam on every girl he dates. He didn't write Your Body is a Wonderland about anyone but when he met whoever he's dating it's like the song coming true. |
| 5:28
| Steve just blew his arm out trying to spin the wheel. That's a Kerry Wood-like injury. Steve will have to rehab in the minor leagues. |
| 5:29
| That doesn't really make Steve feel any better about playing the Back Porch Stage. John Mayer probably just did it to prove to some chick that it's just about the music. |
| 5:30
| There are a lot of calls on hold and some of them are old. Why has this guy been on hold for 45 minutes to tell Steve that Fred Goldman filed for OJ's bond money. |
| 5:31
| Caller Larry wanted to let Steve know that in addition to the Rolex Fred Goldman will also get the bond money. |
| 5:32
| Larry wanted to tell a joke. Does he know that if it's not funny he loses the dinner? Is he willing to risk that? |
| 5:33
| Larry can tell Brendan the joke off the air and if it's funny Steve will steal it. |
| 5:34
| There's another guy on hold about Phil Hartman and cavemen. How about something current Brendan? |
| 5:35
| Caller Vince reminds Steve of the Phil Hartman SNL skit where he was a caveman. That's probably where they stole the commercials from but Steve's tired of talking about this. |
| 5:36
| More text from Dan Falato now. First of all he called Mark Grace something Steve can't say. And also, Steve has taken the subway before, to a Cubs game. If Gracie wants to apologize to the city he can do it on the show though. |
| 5:37
| They parked at Leona's on Sheffield and then took the train. See, Steve's just a regular guy, he's taken the subway. Sure it was a scant 23 years ago. |
| 5:38
| There's another woman on hold who says there's a bluegrass version of Jump with David Lee Roth. There's a guy on hold who says that the still mention Steve's Comiskey Park pinwheel on the Wrigley Field tour. |
| 5:39
| Steve has nothing against the Cubs, he likes John McDonough and he's know him for a long time. You'd think he'd be able to lift the ban on Steve singing the 7th Inning Stretch. |
| 5:40
| On the other hand Steve might feel weird singing that since he's on record as being a Sox fan. Somewhere there's someone who said they won't let Steve do it until he's dead and buried. In a way it's cool that Steve has engendered that kind of hatred. That's the second time Steve has used "engendered" today. It's the word of the day. |

| Song: Your Body is a Wonderland, John Mayer |
| 5:45
| That song probably works for John Mayer on a regular basis. Steve doesn't want to be cynical but it seems like John Mayer wrote that song specifically to get laid. |
| 5:46
| Buzz would imagine that if he wrote songs he'd be doing that every time. Either that or trying to get revenge. |
| 5:47
| Steve likes the song but it's irritating to think about that. A lot of his songs seem to be written just so John Mayer can get laid. There's nothing wrong with that though, Steve's just a little jealous. |

| 5:53
| Time for some sports. The Cubs continue to prepare for game 1 of the NLDS against the Diamondbacks. Arizona took the season series 4 games to 2. |
| 5:54
| Carlos Zambrano, or Big Z as Buzz calls him, said he will try to keep his emotions in check when he takes the mound for game 1. How do you stop from being too excited? |
| 5:55
| Lovie Smith vowed Monday to get Greg Olsen and Devin Hester more involved in the game plan. We've heard that before. He says it every week. |
| 5:56
| Steve doesn't really know the details and it doesn't seem like anyone was forthcoming with an answer but it seems like Ron Turner isn't a Lovie Smith guy. It seems more like he's a McCaskey family guy. |
| 5:57
| If the head coach wants Devin Hester in more offensive plays then he should be in more offensive plays. Steve doesn't like Ron Turner because he remembers what he did at U of I. |
| 5:58
| And look what Norv Turner is doing in San Diego. Steve feels that the Turner brothers are bad news, except for Ike of course. |
| 5:59
| On the New England Patriots team flight to Cincinnati the in-flight movie The Recruit was stopped when someone realized it starred Tom Brady's ex, Bridget Moynahan. |
| 6:00
| What does Tom Brady even car about that? He's Tom Brady. Steve watched that game last night. They showed one of his passes to Randy Moss from the end zone, it was perfect. He just decided to throw a perfect spiral right to him. |
| 6:01
| Why don't the Bears ever have a guy like that? He was basically a walk on too? |
| 6:02
| The University of Miami will rename it's football lockerroom after Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who played for the Hurricanes. Why didn't they name it after Buzz? Are his donations not enough? |
| 6:08
| Buzz played for the Hurricanes several decades before The Rock did. Now The Rock is the king of the box office. He's getting so popular he's changing his name back to Dwayne Johnson. |
| 6:09
| The Game Plan beat out The Kingdom, which was heavily promoted. Buzz saw The Kingdom and it was great. No one wants to see a movie about Iraq though, they can just turn on the TV. |
| 6:10
| Just an FYI for Buzz, he'll be involved in an episode-long tribute to WCKG this Saturday. Thank God!. |
| 6:11
| Featured in the episode will be Buzz, Stan and Terry and WCKG producer Jimmy Mac. |
| 6:12
| Just what Steve wants to do now, talk about the White Sox. |
| 6:13
| Ed Farmer is on the phone, he's back in California. The Sox couldn't even win on Fan Appreciation day this year. At least Ed is home. |
| 6:14
| Steve doesn't even know what the Sox need. Certainly they need a bullpen. Juan Uribe is not the biggest problem. |
| 6:15
| Steve has stopped thinking about the White Sox and he's on the verge of not thinking about the Bears either. He might have to put himself in a drug-induced coma for the next few years. |
| 6:16
| Ed thinks anyone could win in the playoffs. It seemed like the Padres were going to win last night and then they lost. |
| 6:17
| Someone asked Ed at the gym today who he thought the best team in the AL was. The Indians have the pitching but the Yankees are coming in hot. He likes the Red Sox in the World Series. |
| 6:18
| Ed thinks it'll be the Cubs and Phillies in the NLCS but after that it's too close to call. |
| 6:19
| The Bears aren't playing well and neither are Notre Dame. Ed's going to see them at USC this weekend. They're 0-5 now. Everyone in California is still worried that Notre Dame will be USC. |
| 6:20
| It's a good thing Steve and Ed aren't gambling though, they'd be broke. |
| 6:21
| Ed will spend the off-season working out but no golf. Maybe he'll come to Chicago and bug Steve and Buzz. Is E handy around the house? Maybe do some repairs or build a chair in his woodshop. Steve thought Ed was handy but usually he calls someone for that stuff. Steve does too, why embarrass yourself and possibly cut off a finger? |
| 6:22
| Ed's looking for Torii Hunter or Aaron Rowand to play center field for the White Sox next year. |
| 6:23
| Steve's going with what Ed says for the playoffs. He wouldn't mind seeing the Cubs win just to equalize things around here. Anything is possible these days. |
| 6:24
| That game was exciting last night though. It was 6-6 for a while and then Scott Hairston hit a 2-run home run and it was 8-6 Padres. Then the Rockies scored 3 runs to win the game. |
| 6:25
| Ozzie seemed relieved that the season was over, as if he had nothing to do with everything that happened. |
| 6:32
| Steve noticed for the first time ever that when Garry Meier does that commercial for the bee pollen he says it comes from free range bees. What other kinds of bees are there? |
| 6:33
| All bees are free range. You can't put shackles on a bee because they need to go to flowers and pollinate. Hi hive Buzz! |
| 6:34
| News with Buzz |
| 6:35
| A former New York Knicks executive will be awarded $11.6 million after she sued Isiah Thomas and the team for sexual harassment. For that much money he should have had sex with her. Of course that would probably be rape so there are some flaws. |
| 6:36
| Congress is grilling Blackwater officials over an incident that left dozens of Iraqis dead. |
| 6:37
| The gold Rolex owned by OJ Simpson will wind up on Fred Goldman's wrist. That's going to look great with the handlebar mustache. |
| 6:38
| A Washington DC taxi driver is in trouble after joking about being a member of Al Qaeda. The Ethiopian man was returning from a trip to visit his girlfriend and was asked about stickers on his suitcase by security. |
| 6:39
| When asked if he had been to the United Arab Emirates he told security that he was with Al Qaeda and here to blow things up. That's not a good thing to say in the airport. |
| 6:47
| That was a drop of Sarah Silverman, Steve's co-star in Someone to Eat Cheese With. It's available On Demand on Comcast. |
| 6:48
| It's also playing at the Music Box starting this Friday. Steve finally watched the entire movie last night after bailing on it 4 times. It's really funny and Steve even enjoyed his part. |
| 6:49
| Steve doesn't want to hear himself or see himself. He operates in his own world where he thinks everything is fine and he doesn't need to be told otherwise. |
| 6:50
| Buzz tries to avoid the movies he's been in, even if they're very small parts. It's enough to ruin the movie for him but he can't even watch Silence of the Lambs, one of his favorites. |
| 6:51
| There are people who can't see enough of themselves but Steve isn't one of them. Upon seeing himself though he didn't hate it. He probably won't watch it a second time though. |
| 6:52
| Jeff will be at the Music Box on Friday and Saturday in between the 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM showings for Q & A. |
| 6:58
| Matt and Brendan have the big show coming up. Tuesdays are when the college girl stops by. Really it's just Matt pretending to be a college girl. |
| 6:59
| Matt as the college girl flirts with Brendan. Then real Matt gets jealous that the college girl is flirting with Brendan. It's extremely weird and compelling. Someday they'll get a real college girl up in the studio. |
