| Terry is in Phoenix covering the Cubs. He's in Cubphoria, the Cubs fans have invaded. |
| 2:06
| Terry's going to do some interviews for the Tribune. They already had some scintillating stuff in there. People are complaining about having to stay up too late for the games. |
| 2:07
| People are talking about how they have to get up early for work and their kids can't stay up. Midnight isn't that late! When the Sox played the Angels in 2005 there weren't any articles about people staying up too late. |
| 2:08
| There's almost no coverage about the game in the Arizona Republic but they haven't had a team that long. They've also won a World Series already. |
| 2:09
| They probably don't care as much because half the baseball teams are in Arizona every year for spring training. |
| 2:10
| That's a good angle for Terry to talk for his article though, the comparison between the coverage here and the coverage in Arizona. |
| 2:11
| The Cubs play West Coast teams every year, aren't these people staying up late to watch those games? Sounds like they interviewed some bandwagon fans. |
| 2:12
| There's nothing better, as a White Sox fan, then when they play the A's. That way you can fall asleep to the dulcet tones of Hawk Harrelson, assured in the fact that the Sox will lose. |
| 2:13
| Terry has full credentials for the games in Phoenix and Chicago. He must have been planning this for months because you can't get them now. Plus he sold Stan out by not getting any for him. |
| 2:14
| What happened was that the Tribune set aside credentials for 10 writers so that's how Terry got in on it. So there's still time for Steve then? |
| 2:15
| Why did the Tribune have an article about people staying up late to watch the game? Isn't it supposed to be a real newspaper? |
| 2:16
| Tomorrow they'll have the full court press. Then by Friday they'll probably have maps to Wrigley in case you forgot how to get there and places to eat. |
| 2:17
| It could be interesting if there's a game 4 because the Chicago Marathon is on Sunday and the route goes through Wrigleyville. |
| 2:18
| Steve wants to see Terry in the hot tub at the Diamondbacks ballpark, hanging out with all the Arizona strippers. |
| 2:22
| Steve has already called his boss and told him that he'll be in tomorrow but he'll be sluggish from staying up late and watching the game. |
| 2:23
| Steve's pretty sure all the people saying that are being manipulated into it by journalists who need something to write about. Steve's looking forward to it and 9:00 is a perfect start time. |
| 2:24
| Generally speaking though Chicago as a town needs to dial it down a little bit. Chicago is a cool place and the reason people don't realize that until they come here is because we act like idiots on a national level. |
| 2:25
| Nationally we're viewed as the SNL Super Fans, just a big group of the craziest Bears, Cubs and Sox fans with grease paint on their faces. If we're going to get the Olympics we need to dial it down. |
| 2:26
| There can be big, cool things in Chicago like the 2005 White Sox parade. And there could be a something similar for the Cubs. The rally yesterday was cool, way cooler than the Diamondbacks rally with Mark Grace chanting "beat the Cubs". |
| 2:27
| He just got invited back to the Cubs convention after sort of being a persona non grata but now he's probably back to being that. |
| 2:28
| The Diamondbacks pep rally was bad but according to Terry they're not making a big deal about the playoffs out there. They haven't had a team for that long, they've already won the World Series and there's other stuff to do out there like off-roading and mountain climbing. |
| 2:29
| Chicago is such a great sports town which is probably what leads to the guy on national TV in face paint. As a town we're going down as crazy, obsessed sports fans. |
| 2:30
| Chicago doesn't have the same sort of edge as New York or LA. New York had the World Trade Center blown up and oh, there's a crazy Jets fan. And in LA the hills are on fire and there's an earthquake but oh, there's a crazy Dodgers fan. |
| 2:31
| In Chicago our edge is misrepresented by the crazy sports fans. Another thing that makes sports such a big deal is the ticking time bomb of winter. Growing up in LA Steve had no idea something like that happened. |
| 2:32
| Steve woke up on in Detroit on Thanksgiving morning in 1975 to go to a Lions game and there was 4 feet of snow on the ground. He didn't even know what it was and he wasn't prepared for it in his desert boots. |
| 2:33
| Steve had a Subaru that he drove from LA to Detroit. He got one of the first Subarus that were imported to the country. They weren't really winterized which is why they were being sold in LA. |
| 2:34
| So in the winter in Detroit Steve would have to go out to his car and remove the battery and take it inside so it wouldn't get frozen. |
| 2:35
| Buzz never experienced winter growing up in Florida but he knew about it visiting relatives in Michigan. In California Steve never even heard about the winters here. |
| 2:36
| Buzz remembers going out one morning, early in his time in Chicago, and it was 80º below with the wind chill. He was going to go for a run so he called the weather bureau to ask for a report. |
| 2:37
| In a way though it's kind of cool when the weather is dangerous like that. It was the same way when it was 120º here that one summer. And that stuff probably gets reported on a national level. |
| 2:38
| Steve was on the rooftop at Murphy's for one of the hottest days that summer. |
| 2:39
| Steve didn't know about humidity until he moved to Detroit either. He'd never been anywhere that had humidity. Steve does like the feel of humidity when he gets off the plane in Florida in the winter. You can feel it as soon as you get on the jetway. |
| 2:42
| That's the Mark Grace "beat the Cubs" chant which isn't a good idea. Steve is shocked and horrified. |
| 2:43
| Caller Chris is a big fan, 6 feet about 250 pounds. It's pretty meaty. Chris wanted to let Steve know that the heatwave was in 1995. On Thursday July 15th it was 105º and above 120º with the heat index. |
| 2:44
| Chris was on his honeymoon in Jamaica and he remembers seeing it all on CNN. He probably could have just stayed here and saved money. It wouldn't have been as romantic or all-inclusive though. Plus you can't get a good goat stew in Chicago. |
| 2:45
| Song: Your Winter, Sister Hazel |
| 2:49
| Turns out Steve likes Sister Hazel. He didn't think he liked them because they got overplayed when they first came out by The Mix. Everyone gets overplayed by them. |
| 2:50
| Steve really likes their live stuff but normally he doesn't like live stuff. Sometimes he'll hear some good guitar work on a live album, like Frampton Comes Alive. Peter Frampton was the first concert Buzz ever covered. He was wireless and wired. |
| 2:51
| Speaking wires, how did everything work out with Buzz's surround system? Everything got hooked up but Buzz still needs to do some tweaking. He prefers his back speakers to be slightly louder than Jeff the installer. |
| 2:52
| Buzz did have to turn down his sub-woofer last night. He was watching The Unit and there were some explosions that rumbled the building. |
| 2:53
| Steve likes his back speakers louder too. It seems like these days people don't utilize their back speakers properly. Steve and Buzz are old school though. |
| 2:54
| The best thing for Buzz though is the HD TiVo. He couldn't pull himself away from the TV just becuase he was operating the TiVo. |
| 2:55
| Wait until Buzz gets a movie going on his surround sound. The best part of the surround for Steve is when the THX logo comes up. He could watch that over and over again. That's how Steve knows everything is working. |
| 2:56
| Buzz is so excited about the whole thing that he can't stop thinking about it. It's counter-productive to think about your TV at work though. |
| 2:57
| Buzz will be able to catch the Cubs game tonight in HD as well as the Bionic Woman. Steve hasn't seen that one yet. He's still 5 episodes behind on Heroes. |
| 2:58
| Steve can't watch the new ones until he watches the old ones. It's really hard to watch the old ones when you know there are new ones. |
| 2:59
| Steve has gone out of his way to watch Journeyman, even though he's not really a fan of time travel where they are two of the same person in the same place. |
| 3:00
| in the Jean Claude Van Damme movie Timecop, Ron Silver gets tangled up with his own self and some crazy stuff happens. |
| 3:01
| For Steve's money, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure had time travel right. They were leaving stuff for their future selves. To Steve's feeble mind there can only be one of someone. |
| 3:02
| Journeyman at least makes it all interesting. The guy is in his old apartment watching his old self get it on with his former girlfriend. |
| 3:03
| Steve did not see Cavemen though. He didn't TiVo it and forgot to watch the West Coast feed. Buzz also forgot about it. Steve feels that if they both forgot then deep down they already knew it was going to suck. Garry said it was bad and Steve trusts his sense of humor. |
| 3:04
| ABC probably made it too complicated with a backstory. They don't need a backstory about where they came from, just people sorry for being mean to them. |
| 3:08
| That was from Cavemen but Steve couldn't really tell. It seems very visual. He assumes Pete watched it since he had a clip from it. |
| 3:09
| Steve's settings are all different because he was talking to Terry who's in Arizona. Pete's telling Steve the settings are changed instead of just coming into the main studio to talk. |
| 3:10
| Steve doesn't really care what Pete thought about Cavemen. He's just irritated that he had to once again point out that everything on that show seems visual. Didn't he go over that yesterday? |
| 3:11
| Steve's going to take a break so he doesn't lose his temper on the air. He sort of already has but it wasn't that bad. Pete's telling Steve the settings are wrong and then Mary comes in to change them but gets nervous and goes past the right channel. |
| 3:12
| Buzz actually does care what Pete thinks about Cavemen so Steve's going to take a break. |
| 3:18
| That's another thing from Cavemen but you wouldn't be able to tell. It seems like a visual thing. |
| 3:19
| Pete watched Cavemen and he didn't think it was that bad. He was expecting worse. It wasn't great though so we probably don't want to watch it. |
| 3:20
| Buzz will make up his own mind but Steve's not going to bother. Next time Pete should just come into the studio after about the 45 second mark. Steve was just in the studio having a temper tantrum about it for 6 minutes. |
| 3:21
| Steve needed a new pair of headphones afterwards and there might be a few walls that need repair. Steve's like a NASCAR driver, he gets out of the car and throws his helmet down. |
| 3:22
| Did Buzz see the story about the porn that could have let to a slaying. Police believe a woman killed her boyfriend of 15 years after discovery a CD containing images of nude women. |
| 3:23
| The woman allegedly shot her boyfriend multiple times and then smashed the windshields of his motorcycle and car. What's the point of doing that when the guy is already dead? |
| 3:24
| Buzz still has a small stash of Playboys including one with two twins. They're probably grandmothers by now. If Aimee ever finds it maybe she'll kill him. |
| 3:25
| Aimee has twin brothers, maybe that will trigger something in her. They probably got a lot of attention as kids so maybe he should bring the magazines to work. Jim probably wouldn't touch them or anything. |
| 3:26
| Steve doesn't have any porn. He looks at porn but only on websites. When he was a kid he had some Playboys as well but he wasn't really that into it. He's into it more now because it's online. |
| 3:27
| Steve goes to YouPorn, there's a lot of European stuff on there. He doesn't know what the titles mean and then he sees the video and knows what something is in German. |
| 3:28
| He used to go to PornoTube but there's too much gay stuff on there. If he accidentally forgets to set it to straight only then the gay stuff comes up and he looks at it and gets freaked out. |
| 3:29
| Steve is constantly amazed at what guys can get good-looking women to do. Then they videotape it and put it on the internet. |
| 3:30
| Buzz feels that when a woman is willing to do whatever then the next step is to videotape it and put it on the internet. It's like an oil well, you tap into it and then you want to put the oil derrick up. Is that an oil derrick? Steve's not sure if that's the right term. |
| 3:31
| Money is probably involved in a lot of these situations. Steve does enjoy the sites where they pretend like they're paying girls to do stuff and then they don't pay them. Then Steve feels bad for the girls. |
| 3:32
| Caller Steve thinks the twins Buzz is talking about is the Collinson twins. He was in his early teens when that issue came out, he had a nice 1 month relationship with them. |
| 3:33
| So now Buzz has a name to put with the faces. They must have been good-looking if caller Steve remembered them too. Buzz will bring in the issue for Steve to see it. |
| 3:34
| The only thing Steve remembers from Playboy is a photo of the actress Carol Lindley, sipping a soda. He sort of remembers Barbie Benson too. |
| 3:41
| On the phone is Mark Schanowski from Comcast Sportsnet. Mark and Pat will be on at 6:30 and 10:00 tonight plus pre and post-game coverage for the Cubs game. |
| 3:42
| Comcast's pre and post-game coverage is always good. They'll have Dan Plesac too, he's always. Steve's used to seeing him in a hat though, he should wear one on TV. |
| 3:43
| Mark thinks we'll see an old-fashioned pitchers duel between Zambrano and Webb tonight and it'll come down to the bullpens. That's where the Diamondbacks have the edge over the Cubs. |
| 3:44
| Steve's excited to watch the game, God help him. Nationally a lot of people are picking the Cubs which is always scary. Any time the Cubs make the postseason it turns into a national story. It'd be good to get all that over with. |
| 3:45
| It'd be better to talk about the match-ups than the goat. They'll be trotting that story out once the series comes back to Chicago. It's the goat and Ronnie Woo Wood and all that stuff. |
| 3:46
| Ronnie's already out in Arizona as we speak. How does that guy get to all these games? The last time Steve saw him he was at Fitch Park in Arizona, trying to talk to Gail Fischer. She couldn't get to her car fast enough. |
| 3:47
| Mark's a Cubs fan so he's pulling for them. People were complaining about the late start for the game. Mark's having the same problem at home with his son who's a freshmen. |
| 3:48
| The game will probably be over at midnight, that's not that late. Mark's running a tighter ship than Steve did. He used to stay up until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning, snorting coke, ordering pizzas. |
| 3:49
| It's good to know that Mark is keeping a tight lid on his kid. It's not like he's going to explode later in life or anything. |
| 3:50
| Steve can sort of understand people not wanting your kids to stay up late but the adults complaining about it is another thing. Although it seems like if your kid is a Cubs fan you should let them stay up and watch. |
| 3:51
| The Cubs had a rollercoaster series so it'll be interesting to see how they do in the playoffs. They found their power late in the season and the NL isn't that strong so they could certainly get to the World Series. |
| 3:52
| The Bears are preparing to play the Packers on Sunday. They don't have the as good of a defense as the Bears did last year but they're going to cause some turnovers and gets points on some of them. |
| 3:53
| It was probably a bad idea to run that many passing plays for Brian Griese, a guy who hasn't started in 2 years. Mark got the feeling that Lovie had a talk with Ron Turner this week about what he wants to do Sunday. |
| 3:54
| Steve thinks Ron Turner is just the kind of knucklehead who gets up to the booth during the game and just does whatever he wants to do. |
| 3:55
| Both Turner brothers must be really good at sucking up to the right people. Ron Turner must have sucked up to the McCaskey's and now he's back with the Bears. |
| 4:02
| Steve Dolinsky, The Hungry Hound, is here. He was here working on his weekend show. Steve also saw him on Friday at the Gilda's Club thing. |
| 4:03
| Steve was told that Steve Dolinsky had to leave at 9:30 on Friday. What did he care? Friday was his meatball sandwich segment. Steve lied and said he TiVoed it but he didn't. |
| 4:04
| The best meatball sandwich Steve found was at a place called Freddy's Pizza in Cicero. It's a great family-run place that not a lot of people know about. |
| 4:05
| What about a place downtown if Steve wanted one now? There's a place on Polk Street called Fontano's. Ricobene's had a good one but they closed. |
| 4:06
| Meatball sandwiches aren't really a big sandwich in Chicago. Everyone usually talks about the beef or the hot dogs but the meatball gets pushed into the background. |
| 4:07
| It seemed like there was a lot of disagreement over the best kind of bread to use on the sandwich. It also seemed like if you could take the marinara from one place, the bread from one place and the meatball from a third place you'd have a great sandwich. |
| 4:08
| Caller Jim wanted to let Steve and Steve know that there's a Ricobene's on Wells street in the Loop. They make a pretty good one but Jim has never had them from other places. |
| 4:09
| Steve will have to check out the Ricobene's when he leaves here then. Buzz is wondering what constitutes a bad sandwich. You don't want a tough meatball or bread that is too hard and cuts the roof of your mouth. |
| 4:10
| Steve's going to send someone to get a Ricobene's meatball. Does Buzz want one? |
| 4:11
| Right now Steve is working on a segment about Lithuanian food. He just went to a great place on 63rd street. Lithuanian food is pretty similar to Polish food. |
| 4:12
| Jim won a gift certificate to RJ Grunts, they invented the salad bar. Rich Melman was featured in this month's Saveur Magazine, they did a whole issue on Chicago food. |
| 4:13
| Rich Melman is a genius but he's so self-depricating. He's also a billionaire restaurateur. |
| 4:14
| For Steve's money L-Woods has the best ribs in the city. Steve Dolinsky thinks that Smoque has the best ribs. Buzz goes to Fat Willy's by the movie theater. |
| 4:15
| Steve likes L-Woods because he knows Danny McGowan and he doesn't have to wait. Smoque seems like the kind of place where you'd have to wait. |
| 4:16
| Steve Dolinsky is going more for the authentic barbecue ribs. The guy at Smoque says that if you want something that falls off the bone you shouldn't get something on a bone. There should be a little tug when you're eating ribs. |
| 4:17
| Chicago is a great city to eat in. Saveur Magazine has never devoted an entire issue to one city until this month. |
| 4:18
| The great thing about being from Chicago is that when you go somewhere like Philly all you have to do is worrying about going to get a Philly Cheesesteak. You don't need to worry about going to other restaurants because he have so many great ones here. |
| 4:19
| A few years ago when the Eagles came to Chicago Steve went to Philly to do a story about Philly Cheesesteaks. While he was there though he found something called a Roast Italian. It's thinly sliced roast beef on a great Italian bread. |
| 4:20
| Buzz was going to ask Steve what his favorite thin crust pizza was. He really likes Coal Fired on Grand and Ogden. He also likes Crust, it's an organic place. What about up in Buzz's area? |
| 4:21
| Buzz and Matt Dahl discovered Godfather's on Wilson. It's not part of the chain though. There's something in the sauce though that Buzz really likes. |
| 4:22
| Godfather's will ask you how you want your pizza cooked. There's a place up in Ravenswood called Spacca Napoli that's getting a lot of press. Steve Dolinsky recently learned that the Neapolitan style pizza means a wet, undercooked center. That's not what he's looking for. |
| 4:23
| Steve gets his pizza well-done with the pepperoni on the outside so it gets crispy. |
| 4:24
| One probably Steve Dolinsky has with pizza in Chicago is there's too much cheese. There should be a better balance for crust and pizza. The thin crust people are changing that though. |
| 4:25
| Whenever Steve's in Florida he likes to get the Long Island/New York style pizza. It's a better balance of crust and cheese. |
| 4:26
| Buzz is never Irving and Lawrence which is pretty close to Frosca in Roscoe Village. Buzz goes over there for Piazza Bella's four cheese pizza. Look at Buzz throwing down with the Hungry Hound. |
| 4:27
| It sounds like Pete has a few good places in Rogers Park to get pizza but he's depriving himself of it until the Bears win or something. Pete lives in Chicago, he shouldn't go more than a couple of weeks without pizza! |
| 4:28
| Pete did have a Lean Cuisine pizza recently. Steve Dolinsky thinks Pete sounds like a 42-year old woman. There's a reason they never have guys in Lean Cuisine commercials. |
| 4:34
| Steve wouldn't mind having The Hungry Hound on the show on a regular basis. Plus if he doesn't like something he's not a jerk about it. Like the rib thing, he had a way to deflect that. |
| 4:35
| Steve would say that places like L-Woods or Carson's serve a Chicago-style rib. It's not pit barbecue though but Steve likes that style as well. Buzz likes pretty much anything made of pork. |
| 4:36
| When Buzz thinks of meats he likes he doesn't even think of pork though. But he likes pork in many different varieties. |
| 4:37
| So that was good and Pete got a sweet comeuppance. If that doesn't shame him into getting a pizza tonight then nothing will. During the break Pete told Buzz that it really hurt coming from a guy who wears nail polish. |
| 4:38
| Pete can say all he wants about the nail polish but Steve Dolinsky nailed him so appropriately. It was almost as if Steve had passed him a note. |
| 4:39
| Steve's just mad that was out there all the time and he didn't think of it. A 42-year old woman is exactly what Pete is. What are Pete's plans for the Cubs game? |
| 4:40
| Pete's going home to watch the game and maybe have a Lean Cuisine. Then he'll go into his freezer and look at all his favorite skulls. |
| 4:41
| Pete wasn't sure if he should invite Jim over tonight sine he's having some cable issues after his move. On Monday Jim was late because he was moving. Steve wondered who moves on a Monday but then he was told it was October 1st. |
| 4:42
| Jim couldn't schedule an appointment for the cable hook-up until the old tenants canceled their account. So he'll probably go to the black girlfriend's house to watch the game. There's also an old man bar in his neighborhood that he heard is Cub-friendly. |
| 4:43
| A Cub-friendly old man bar, is that like a gay bar? Jim will be passed around like a bowl of chips until he no longer likes baseball. |
| 4:44
| It doesn't sound like Pete or Jim have anything big planned even though their team is in the playoffs. Jim will probably order a pizza tonight but he's under the weather so he might just stay in. |
| 4:45
| Jim could call Pete from his girlfriends, eating the pizza and lord it over him. Then he'll hear a gunshot on the other end of the phone. It'll be echoey too because Pete has wood floors and exposed brick. |
| 4:46
| Danny McGowan is on the phone. He thinks L-Woods would be a great place for Cubs fans to watch the game tonight. |
| 4:47
| Does Danny want a spin of the wheel? He could win dinner at one of his own places. |
| 4:48
| The best ribs Steve has ever had were from a place called Bono's in Gainesville. He was on his way home from Florida with Matt Dahl. |
| 4:49
| It doesn't look like it but Matt Dahl can really put the food away. He's just one of those naturally skinny people which is really irritating to Steve because it's his own kid. How did that happen?! |
| 4:54
| That Bono's place is a chain restaurant, there are 21 locations. That doesn't mean it's not good though. There was an older black guy working the pit and he had it going on. |
| 4:55
| Live read: WCIU |
| 4:56
| It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve's having a Cheesy Beefy Melt today. |
| 4:57
| This is going to sound strange but Steve will say it anyway. He loves beef stroganoff but there's something about the combination of the beef and the rice in this Cheesy Beefy Melt that reminds him of beef stroganoff with a Mexican feel to it. |

| Headlines with Buzz |
| 5:07
| Britney Spears has a temporary drivers license. Now all she has to do is pass a few drug tests and she'll get those kids back. |
| 5:08
| A Detroit radio station has ended a contest where listeners guess which day Britney will kill herself. Next time something like that happens Steve and Buzz will do a contest for listeners to guess when the radio station will end their bad contest. |
| 5:09
| As expected President Bush vetoed a children's healthcare bill. Healthcare would be funded by cigarette taxes which White House spokeswoman Dan Perino says put the burden back on low income people. |
| 5:10
| Danny Bonaduce has been named as a suspect in a police report. He allegedly jumped on stage at a reality TV awards show, grabbed Jonny Fairplay and threw him to the ground. |
| 5:11
| Buzz isn't sure who Jonny Fairplay is but he must be a reality TV star who won award. Maybe Danny was mad that he didn't win. |
| 5:12
| An Oak Lawn school has decided to add a Ramadan celebration to their calendar so they can keep their Christmas and Halloween celebrations. They were probably listening to what Steve said yesterday about that whole thing. |
| 5:13
| Caller Nick wanted to let Steve know that Jonny Fairplay was on one of the Survivor seasons. He did anything but play fair, he was a real snake. Nick feels that Danny was probably within his rights to do whatever he did. |
| 5:14
| Caller Dan can't believe he's defending Danny Bonaduce but he's seen a few video clips over the incident. |
| 5:15
| Jonny Fairplay walked by Danny and tapped him on the shoulder then started gyrating on him. So Danny lifted him up and Jonny flipped over. So we're supporting Danny on this one? |
| 5:16
| Dan saw the video on WWTD.com. That stands for What Would Tyler Durden do, he's the guy in Fight Club. Steve really didn't like that movie once they did the big reveal. |
| 5:17
| This Fairplay guy looks pretty irritating but Danny looks hammered. |
| 5:22
| Before we continue with the headlines Buzz needs to come over and look at this video. He's only seen the end of it. |
| 5:23
| Buzz likes Danny's devil-incarnate look. That's hammered Danny. People are booing Jonny because he sucks. Then here comes Danny and he seems hammered right? |
| 5:24
| Then Jonny does the thing that Brandmeier used to do where he jumps up on you into your arms. Then he starts making some motions and Danny flips him over. |
| 5:25
| Jonny then runs off-stage holding his mouth because he broke his teeth. It does seem like Danny was in his rights. Next time Johnny B does that to Steve he's going to flip him over. Johnny B doesn't do the hip thrusting though. |
| 5:26
| Jonny Fairplay filed a police report but it doesn't seem like he has anything. He jumped on Danny and then sexually assaulted him. That's what Steve would say if he was Danny. |
| 5:27
| Jonny Fairplay previously worked in radio ad sales. He looks like a radio ad sales guy. |
| 5:28
| Back to Buzz in the headline room which is smaller than the newsroom. |
| 5:29
| After losing his state prison job Bobby Rush's son Jeffrey could be facing jail time. In Kane County it's against the law for anyone working at a prison to have sex with an inmate. It seems like it should be like that everywhere. |
| 5:30
| Bob and Ron are here with their old theme song. It's Rocktober which is their busy season, like they're accountants. They can't even take time off after Rocktober because it goes right into Progvember. |
| 5:31
| Bob and Ron just wanted to say they had a great time at the show on Saturday. They were wondering if Crucifixion Steaks was the first song ever written by Steve. |
| 5:32
| In Steve's mind the stuff on Pet Fishsticks were the first songs he ever wrote lyrics and music for. He's not sure though. What he is sure about is that he doesn't like this theme song, it's too busy. Did they go over this already? |

| Steve doesn't need Bob and Ron changing stuff on him. On the Steve Dahl Show it seems like he should be the one changing things. The Pink Floyd song is much better. |
| 5:34
| This week in rock history the birthday of Jerry Martini of Sly & the Family Stone. He was the sax player and one of the forgotten members of the band. |
| 5:35
| Today we celebrate the birthday of Lindsay Buckingham, one of Ron's favorite guitar players. Steve thinks his best solo is in Go Your Own Way and that was a hit single. For Steve's money that's his best one. Ron put his money on a different Fleetwood Mac song, Rhiannon. That doesn't even have a guitar solo but it's a great song about a witch. |
| 5:36
| It's also Steve Miller's birthday this week. Bob and Ron brought down several Steve Miller songs for Steve to choose from. |
| 5:37
| Song: Your Saving Grace, Steve Miller Band |
| 5:41
| That's not Steve Miller singing in that song though. Ron loves the breakdown in the middle. |
| 5:42
| Bob and Ron featured songs probably played by Black Creek on their show last week. Steve didn't listen. After the gig he just wanted to listen to Janet and her friends talk mindlessly about things he didn't want to hear about. |
| 5:46
| Ben Gay is reporting live from Arizona. Buzz thought he was invisible because he heard the door open. It was just a sound effect. |
| 5:47
| How are things in Arizona? Buzz imagines it's hot and sticky but that could be Ben. |
| 5:48
| Ben is covering the Cubs but because of the restraining order he has to do it from a distance. He can't get within 5 miles of the ballpark either. |
| 5:49
| Ben belongs to a nudist resort in Arizona. He's got a nice trailer which he refers to as his ranch. He has a few acres and a few illegal Mexican house boys. One day he hopes to live out here after he retires. He loves Mexican food although it does give him gas. Then he has Pablo bring him some Gas-X. Ben spent the day working on his succulent garden. He also made some guacamole right in the small of the back of one of his house boys. |
| 5:50
| Ben has Sergio and Manuel and Pablo, who's new. He replaced Jesus who passed away. It was weird doing that stuff to a guy named Jesus. The details on his death are sketchy but everyone is pretty sure it was a scorpion bite. |
| 5:51
| The Cubs take on the Diamondbacks in game 1 tonight. Carlos Zambrano faces Brandon Webb. |
| 5:52
| Ben's looking forward to the game, he'll be watching it at the Courtyard by Marriott which doesn't have a courtyard. |
| 5:53
| Beginning tonight Dutchie Carey and Wrigley Field organist Gary Pressy will watch every Cubs road game from Hi-Tops. They'll also be signing the 7th Inning Stretch. |
| 5:54
| Buzz can't believe Dutchie is going to Hi-Tops. Why doesn't she just go to Harry Caray's? According to Brendan Hi-Tops will be a Harry Caray's next year. |
| 5:55
| Brendan used to be one of Ben's houseboys. He really dropped that thick Spanish accent. |
| 5:56
| Devin Hester was named NFL special teams player of the month for September. |
| 5:57
| Would Buzz like Ben to pick him up some turquoise jewelry while he's out in Arizona? |
| 5:58
| Lance Briggs is being sued by the mother of his 3 week old baby. It's good to see he's out of trouble. |
| 5:59
| Someone needs to tell those guys about condoms. They have condoms now where you can't even tell you're wearing one. |
| 6:00
| Walt Jockety is no longer the GM for the St. Louis Cardinals. Rumors are circulating that Tony LaRussa could be the next one to go. |
| 6:09
| Live read: Gierczyk Properties |

| Song: Mr. Brightside, The Killers |
| 6:14
| Steve played that one for Jim kid, he's such a ray of sunshine. He's got a cold so he's miserable right now. He was wiping his nose on his sleeve, Steve doesn't want to get sick! |
| 6:15
| So that's for Jim, Mr. Brightside. He can't get it to himself, he's in the studio sounding miserable. Can't he take something for that? The germs are going to jump of his sleeve onto Steve. |
| 6:16
| Speaking of jumping off the screen, Buzz was checking out his new system and he saw a spider on the screen. He thought it was just something from the show but then realized it was moving around too randomly. |
| 6:17
| Buzz doesn't like killing the bugs so he grabbed a Kleenex and tried to get it off. He missed it three times before realizing it was on the inside of the protective coating. Maybe there's a whole nest of them in there. |
| 6:18
| Steve calls down to the news room. Jim sounds happy now when he's answering the phone but he's miserable when he comes into the studio. |
| 6:19
| Can't Jim give the CD to someone else? It's not like he's a ray of sunshine when he comes into the studio. He wasn't wiping his nose on his sleeve, he was shielding his mouth so Steve wouldn't catch whatever he had. |
| 6:20
| Jim has taken several things for whatever it is he has. He's pretty sure it's just bad allergies. There was a lot of dust kicked up when he moved from his old place. He's pretty sure the previous tenants in his new place had cats too and he's allergic to them. |
| 6:21
| Jim's doesn't have cable this week because he moved so he can't watch the Cubs game. Pete didn't want to invite him over to his place, he'd rather be alone watching it and eating his Lean Cuisine. |
| 6:28
| News with Buzz |
| 6:29
| La Jolla, California was jolted by a landslide today that caused streets to buckle and one house to collapse. Bummer. Those are expensive houses in La Jolla. |
| 6:30
| Bad news from South Africa. 3,000 miners were trapped underground in Johannesburg after a burst pipe cased a collapse. Whatever happened to those guys in Utah? |
| 6:31
| Congress will begin the process of overriding President Bush's veto of a children's healthcare bill. President Bush didn't feel it was right to fund healthcare with a cigarette tax. |
| 6:32
| Iran's foreign minister says his country is prepared for an attack by the U.S. Really? Has he seen footage of the last one? We might not win but we're good at starting them. |
| 6:33
| Chemical Ali will not be executed until after Ramadan. It seems like they should have saved Saddam's execution for last. |
| 6:34
| Citadel Broadcasting is close to finishing a deal to bring Don Imus back to the airwaves. There's some speculation that he could even replace Curtis Sliwa. |
| 6:35
| CItadel owns WLS and 94.7. Steve can't remember what the station is called though. |
| 6:35
| The NAACP is taking up two collections to help the Jena 6. |
| 6:36
| Caller Donovan called in last week so Steve's not going to go through the Atlantis thing. Donovan can't remember the call letters but CD 94.7 is the True Oldies Channel. |
| 6:37
| Steve can't remember the call letters either, that's the point of this. Sometimes you just shouldn't call in. |
| 6:38
| 94.7 is WZZN. Steve was think of it as The Zone but now it's the True Oldies Channel and Scott Shannon is on there all the time. |
| 6:39
| Britney Spears aunt, speaking to Britain's Sun newspaper fears that one day she'll turn on the TV and learn that her niece is dead. Buzz has no idea why she's talking to the foreign press. She probably wants to be on TV too. |
| 6:48
| It's sort of hard to have privacy if you're a celebrity. People want to be famous so everyone will know who they are. |
| 6:49
| Steve feels bad for people like Britney though. |
| 6:50
| Buzz saw a really bad parody of Britney's performance at the VMAs. It wasn't that funny because it was too easy. |
| 6:51
| Steve gets forwarded a lot of that stuff. He usually doesn't look at the stuff that's been sent to a lot of people. |
| 6:52
| Speaking of that Buzz sent Steve a video today but he hasn't looked at it yet. Can he play it on the air? It's mostly visual. |
| 6:53
| Steve can't talk about this on the air Buzz! What's wrong with him?! It's funny but he can't even describe it. |
| \6:58
| Are Matt and Brendan heading up to Hi-Tops after the show tonight? Maybe try to get into a Dutchie Caray's pants? It's a dream for all of us to tread where Harry Caray has tread. |
