| Stan and Terry are just chillin' like a villain. Stan's trying to make an adjustment to the weather, he doesn't do well in the cold. |
| 2:02
| Stan comes from warmer climates so that's what he's set up for. Steve comes from a colder climate so that's what he's set up for. |
| 2:03
| Terry just doesn't like the change from 90º to 50º. Thanks Black Tommy Skilling. Stan had the windows open last night and it was tough getting up this morning. |
| 2:04
| Doesn't Stan check the weather, everyone says it was supposed to be cold this morning. One thing they always get right is the temperature. |
| 2:05
| Stan grew up in a noisy area so he's used to sleeping with the window open. Was that in the ghetto? |
| 2:06
| Stan's family lived at the end of the King Drive bus route so the buses would be turning around all the time by their house. That sounds like the ghetto to Steve. |
| 2:07
| Terry remembers Steve's King Drive experience a few years ago. He was trying to get home and his GPS lead him the wrong way. He ended up turning around in the parking lot of some housing project. There were a lot of options available to Steve in that parking lot, sex, crack, whatever he wanted. |
| 2:08
| Steve saw that video of those guys being rousted by the cops. It seems like if you're dressed like that you're going to get rousted. |
| 2:09
| It's always been like that though, people were rousted for wearing Levi's. Buzz was always rousted when he was younger. |
| 2:10
| There are a lot of kids in Hinsdale dressed like gangsta rappers. Meanwhile their parents are all rich. |
| 2:17
| Steve might have inadvertently cut Buzz off before the break. He was wondering what Jesse Jackson does. |
| 2:18
| It doesn't seem like he does anything but he's probably on the payroll at Operation: Pushy. |
| 2:19
| Jesse had to step it up now that Al Sharpton's in town, hence spending the night in the projects. |
| 2:20
| And if people want to dress like thugs they should expect to be rousted. They want to look like thugs so they dress up like that then they get mad when people think they're up to no good. |
| 2:21
| Buzz is wondering if the chicks dig that look. It seems like what girls like always dictate what guys wear. |
| 2:22
| Buzz knows this sounds gay but he thinks guys dress for other guys. Guys are always dressing based on their peer group. |
| 2:23
| Steve can't imagine girls being into that thug look, why would they be? Maybe for a date but most girl's are looking for something long-term. You don't go thug for the long-term relationship. |
| 2:24
| When you're trying to look like a gangster you can't get mad when you're treated like one. |
| 2:25
| Caller Dave is a police officer in the South Suburbs. A lot of the time when he's searching a guy dressed like a thug their pants come down because they're wearing a size 50 and holding them up. |
| 2:26
| Then everyone acts like the cops are strip searching suspects. Steve's seen that on COPS and then they have to pixilate the guy's butt. |
| 2:27
| Steve was going to play Gangster of Love but the Steve Miller Band version is very short. Apparently he's been through this before because he has several version of the song including one by Johnny Guitar Watson. |
| 2:28
| Steve also has a version by Johnny WInter which sounds like the original version. It sounds distorted but that might be because it's old. |
| 2:29
| Steve's just going to play the Steve Miller version, this is before he lost it. One of the lyrics in The Joker is "some people call me the gangster of love" which is a reference to this song. Some people also called him the space cowboy. |
| 2:30
| It seems like Steve Miller lost it on Abracadabra when he started rhyming everything. It didn't help when he was rhyming El Paso with hassle. |
| 2:31
| Song: Gangster of Love, Steve Miller Band |
| 2:38
| The original version of Gangster of Love was done by Johnny "Guitar" Watson. We can play it if Buzz would like. |
| 2:39
| Song: Gangster of Love, Johnny "Guitar" Watson |
| 2:44
| At the risk of this going too weird there's a part of that song that sound like the Cialis commercial. |
| 2:45
| It's just one little part that sounds like the Cialis commercial, right before they get into the two bath tubs. Why don't they get into one bath tub? |
| 2:46
| Steve has one more thing to play, a demo of Take the Money and Run. Buzz is wondering what year this came out. He likes to imagine where he was at the time. Steve's pretty sure he was here but Buzz thinks he might have been holed up in his bunker in Florida. |
| 2:47
| Song: Take the Money and Run, Steve Miller Band |
| 2:51
| That song came out in 1976 so Buzz was probably holed up in Florida. Steve remembers it from when he was in Chicago but that's probably because he and Garry used to make fun of his lyrics. |
| 2:58
| Buzz has a cold but he seems better today. Steve keeps it cold in the studio but he doesn't like to keep it so cold that Buzz gets sick of complains. |
| 2:59
| It seems cold in the studio today but Steve has a sweatshirt on. Steve just wanted to make sure Buzz wasn't irritated though. If Steve was cold and Buzz had a sweatshirt on he'd be irritated. |
| 3:00
| Steve bought a Big Hunk t-shirt but he hasn't had the guts to wear it out in public. He's wearing it beneath the sweatshirt to break it in. Opening day on a t-shirt is hard anyway and then add to that the fact that it says "Big Hunk". |
| 3:01
| Steve's worried people are going to come up to him and say "Big hunk of what?" hence the sweatshirt. It is a sweet U of I sweatshirt with The Chief on it. |
| 3:02
| Former Survivor contestant Johnny Fairplay is suing Danny Bonaduce for battery and emotional distress after Bonaduce tossed him over his shoulder at an awards show. |
| 3:03
| Fairplay is also suing the Fox Reality Channel, the producers of the awards show. Fairplay was presenting an award at the Really Awards was approached on stage by Bonaduce. |
| 3:04
| Fairplay then jumped into Bonaduce's arms, Johnny B-style and was tossed over his shoulder. |
| 3:05
| Steve really wishes that Buzz hadn't said that thing about guys dressing for other guys. Now Pete is wondering if Steve wore the Big Hunk t-shirt for Steve Dolinsky. What kid of aspersion is that to cast on Steve? |
| 3:06
| Steve forgot all about Dolinsky putting Pete in his place last week so this is his delayed reaction. Dolinsky mentioned Big Hunk on channel 7 today so Pete thought it was weird. |
| 3:07
| He did an entire candy segment during the news today. That is Steve's favorite candy, maybe he is dressing for him. |
| 3:08
| Steve watched channel 7 all the way up to the story about the person who'd be paralyzed. Then he accidentally ended up on 3 minutes of An Inconvenient Truth. |
| 3:09
| Steve saw enough of An Inconvenient Truth to figure out what bothers Mark Czerniec about the entire thing. Al Gore says that people who don't believe in global warming create confusion which he probably thinks Steve plays right in to. |
| 3:10
| How is that thing a movie anyway? It looks more like a TV show and yet it won an Oscar. Of course those are the same people who voted for Brokeback Mountain which Steve still hasn't seen. |
| 3:11
| Steve did not dress for Steve Dolinsky though. Although the candy store that Dolinsky featured today sent Steve some candy including the Big Hunks that are in his office. So there's some sort of triangulation. |
| 3:12
| Maybe if Pete got a manicure Steve would be dressing for him though. Steve Dolinsky has the nice polished hands. Steve also doesn't appreciate Pete telling this all to the staff behind his back. |
| 3:13
| Steve sees that the Big Hunk is being misrepresented as a toffee which it's not, it's a nougat. It doesn't even have toffee elements, it's just nougat and peanuts. Buzz has to try one now. |
| 3:14
| Steve has to warn Buzz that the Big Hunk is quite chewy. Steve's recommendation would be for Buzz to chew the Big Hunk on the side of his mouth with the least amount of dental work. |
| 3:15
| Steve can see Pete's point though but he's being fueled by rage after being called a 42-year old woman last week. |
| 3:19
| Steve Dolinsky is coming in later today but Steve did not where the Big Hunk t-shirt for him. Would Pete like to know the thought process that is behind Steve selecting a t-shirt? |
| 3:20
| Since it's fall Steve likes to go with the coach's look. He didn't feel like going with the gym shorts and gym shoes which is the full coach's look. Also he couldn't find his whistle. |
| 3:21
| So Steve decided to go with regular shorts and deck shoes plus the sweatshirt, sort of a Jimmy Buffett in transition look. |
| 3:22
| Steve also decided he didn't want to have to take his sweatshirt off so he had to figure out which t-shirt he wanted out of the rotation until laundry day on Saturday. Steve looked through all his shirts and he couldn't pick one that he wanted out of the rotation. |
| 3:23
| Steve needs the Cabo Wabo shirt, he needs all the Die Trying shirts and he's trying to get off the Big Dog shirts. Big Dog says fat since they go up to 5X. When you're down to 2X it's time to get off the Big Dog shirts. |
| 3:24
| So Steve decided to leaf through the rest of his shirts which are stacked by color in white, heather, multi-color and black. That's how he landed on the Big Hunk shirt. |
| 3:25
| Steve put a lot more thought into what he was wearing today just because the seasons are changing. He can't go with the White Sox '05 shirts either because he doesn't feel right about that. |
| 3:26
| Steve did see a really cool t-shirt on a Cub talking to Corey McPherrin after the game on Saturday. Steve can't remember who it was but it was a black guy with no accent. Pete thinks it might be Cliff Floyd. |
| 3:27
| Steve also thinks it was Cliff Floyd. He was wearing a sweat sort of gang-looking Latino/religious shirt. There was another one hanging in his locker from the same collection. |
| 3:28
| When did Steve become gay? He should just forgo the Ben Gay music and lisp for today. |
| 3:29
| Caller Gary was wondering if Steve heard about those Michael Vick t-shirts down at Texas Tech. It says "Vick 'em" on the front and a picture of a dog hanging on the back. |
| 3:30
| What does that have to do with anything though, Michael Vick didn't play there. |
| 3:31
| Texas A & M's mascot is a dog and there's a big rivalry between them and Texas Tech. Shouldn't their mascot be a tractor? |
| 3:37
| On the phone is Mark Schanowski from Comcast Sportsnet. They're just trying to deal with life after baseball. The last time Mark talked to Steve it was last Wednesday and the playoffs haven't even started. |
| 3:38
| This year had the same feeling of the 2000 White Sox that got knocked out in the first round by the Mariners. |
| 3:39
| The Sox regrouped and 5 years later they won it all. Cubs fans probably can't wait another 5 years. Sometimes it's good to take it incrementally though. |
| 3:40
| One of the issues with the Cubs is the ownership situation. They might not be active in the off-season if they still don't have a new owner. |
| 3:41
| Alright let's move on to the Bears. They had a big win against he Packers and some people are saying they could right the ship now. |
| 3:42
| Last week people were saying the Bears were out of it and now they're saying they're right back in it. That happens every year though, just like the cold weather. |
| 3:43
| It was a great game on Sunday the way they turned things around. Griese did exactly what he was supposed to and the defense really turned it on. |
| 3:44
| The Bulls had their first pre-season game last night. Joakim Noah looks like a good addition to the team. He's like Tyson Chandler with better hands. He's not the low-post scorer that everyone tells John Paxson he needs though. |
| 3:45
| Jeremy Roenick is in tonight with the San Jose Sharks. People are wondering what the Hawks will look like. They've got rookie Patrick Kane who looks like he's fresh out of middle school. |
| 3:46
| The Blackhawks are going to be a more interesting team than they were last year. So Chicagoans have some winter sports to look forward to. |
| 3:47
| That's good news for Steve because the hat he wanted to wear this winter is the black Hawks hat with the Indian logo. He can't wear that if the Hawks are playing poorly. |
| 3:54
| That band The Backroom was up at Bandito Barney's with Steve and Buzz last month. They have a concert coming up next week at Double Door. It's next Wednesday and it's only $5! C'mon guys, charge $10. Who has a five on them? |
| 3:55
| Song: A Moment of Clarity, The Backroom |
| 3:59
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:00
| The 14-year old who opened fire at a Cleveland high school was shot and killed before being taken into custody. He had just be suspended from school and wasn't happy about it. |
| 4:02
| Greenpeace is urging increased consumption of kangaroos in order to prevent global warming. |
| 4:03
| Did Buzz happen to see the video of the kangaroo on the car race track? Somewhere down in Australia the kangaroo got on the track and managed to not get hit by bouncing around. |
| 4:04
| Patrick Bertoletti is $25,000 richer after beating Joey Chestnut and Kobayashi in the chicken wing competition. All of the sudden Buzz has a renewed interest in him. |
| 4:05
| While Al Sharpton is demanding that Isiah Thomas apologize to black women everywhere The View's Whoopi Goldberg is asking Al to apologize to the Duke lacrosse players. |
| 4:06
| That's probably not going to happen but it should. It's not a two-way street with Al Sharpton. Remember Tawanda Bradley? He never had to apologize for that. |
| 4:07
| A 30-year old man was hit in the head with a crowbar by a clerk at a Family Dollar Store in Texas. The clerk assumed the man was being rude because he didn't respond to anything he was saying but it turns out he was deaf. |
| 4:08
| Patrick Bertoletti ate 4.1 pounds of chicken meat in 8 minutes flat in Las Vegas last night. The Deep Dish nickname is really catching on and who's the marketing genius behind that? |
| 4:09
| Steve just hopes Patrick is paying taxes on his winnings. When that sort of stuff is in the paper you have to pay the taxes and Patrick doesn't seem like the type to do it on his own. |
| 4:10
| Steve once ate two dozen wings at a Buffalo Wild Wings, along with some cookies, and he couldn't eat for 2 days. |
| 4:11
| It seems to Buzz like this would put Patrick into number 1. Steve can check the rankings but they don't seem to update them that quickly. |
| 4:12
| Patrick is still ranked third on the IFOCE website but the front page still has the Krystal Burger contest up there. |
| 4:13
| It seems like all of this competitive eating is getting a lot of coverage so it's probably reaching a tipping point. |
| 4:14
| Steve is some what frustrated that he couldn't get Patrick on board because now he's going to be famous. But he likes Patrick so he's happy for him. |
| 4:15
| Patrick is going to end up owing Steve money for airfare and all that stuff. Steve's just kidding. Patrick ended up doing more stuff without being hassled about it. |
| 4:16
| Patrick said he's doing 3 competitions in Vegas this week and it's probably tonight and tomorrow. Steve doesn't see SpikeTV putting anyone up in a hotel for longer than they have to. |
| 4:17
| Buzz thinks they might need to spread the competitions out but it's only 4 pounds of chicken. Steve's not sure how many pounds of chicken he ate when he had those wings but he couldn't eat for 2 days after. The cookies didn't help either. |
| 4:18
| Steve got the sugar cookies with the frosting which for some reason gives him heartburn. It could just be the cookies themselves. |
| 4:22
| Caller Paula wanted to let Steve know that the cookies he's eating are called Loft House. They're very puffy. |
| 4:23
| Last year at one of the beach broadcasts a listener brought Steve some of those cookies and they gave him heartburn. It might be the food dye in the frosting, they're all very colorful. |
| 4:24
| Caller Rasheed doesn't know how Steve does it but it seems like he always knows what's going on with him. He had problems with those cookies and had heartburn. He thought it was an ulcer. |
| 4:25
| Rasheed didn't figure it out until he ate the cookies again. Steve also had to figure it out for himself because he couldn't decide if it was the wings or the cookies. |
| 4:26
| Steve knows that Buzz gets mad when he says "800-LETTUCE" instead of "888-LETTUCE" for the prize wheel. He shouldn't be though because after doing the prize wheel for three days when Buzz was out, Steve can see how it happens. |
| 4:27
| Buzz doesn't think he's ever done that before, this was the first time. That's the beauty of Buzz, he doesn't even remember it. Buzz is willing to bet that he's never done that before. |
| 4:28
| Steve is being told that Buzz usually gives too many 8s or not enough. Maybe it was Wendy who changed the number then. All Steve was saying is that he had a hard time with it as well. |
| 4:29
| Alright Bob and Ron are here and it's Rocktober which is their time to shine. Steve doesn't really celebrate Rocktober now that he's turned 50. |
| 4:30
| Steve has been rocking pretty hard on his iPod so maybe he is having a good Rocktober. |
| 4:31
| Steve's been listening to this band called Backdoor Slam, they're a trio of 18-year old kids. It has a classic rock feel to it. |
| 4:32
| It sort of reminds Ron of Gov't Mule. He's always trying to one-up isn't he? Just like Pete. Did Pete hold up a card that said "sounds like a poor man's Gov't Mule?" |
| 4:39
| Steve wants to play two more samples of this Backdoor Slam band just so Bob and Ron know he's rocking hard. |
| 4:40
| So Steve's Rocktober is going great. It would deeply sadden Bob and Ron if it wasn't. |
| 4:41
| Bob and Ron always seem surprised when they have to talk about rock history. This week we celebrate the birthday of three members of Procol Harum. Steve was actually going to go with one of their songs for today, it's a rocker. |
| 4:42
| We also celebrate John Entwhistle's birthday today, he's no longer with us. He went out with some cocaine and a hooker, that's the way you want to do it. |
| 4:43
| It's also John Lennon's birthday this week, you might have heard of him from a little band called The Beatles. OK Terri Hemmert. |
| 4:44
| Song: Power Failure, Procol Harum |
| 4:48
| It's not a live version, they just put some applause in there after the drum solo. Steve should have sounded the drum solo alert. |
| 4:49
| Ron always thought of Procol Harum as the British version of The Band. Steve thought they came before The Band but Ron says it's a toss up. Steve's not prepared to argue that point. |
| 4:50
| The Band was the back-up group for Ronnie Hawkins around the same time as Procol Harum got their start. To Steve The Band wasn't The Band until Music From Big Pink. |
| 4:51
| Buzz isn't prepared to argue for either side, he was holed up in Fort Lauderdale during all of that. |
| 4:52
| Bob and Ron's show is on from midnight to 5:00 AM Sunday mornings. It's like a 5 hour version of their segment without Steve to make it good. |
| 4:53
| Steve's not usually awake when their show is on but if he is he's not listening to the radio. The one time he did listen to it their board-op had himself mic'ed higher than they were. |
| 4:54
| That was the kid who messed up the end of Steve's show that one time right before he went on vacation. He forgot to change the studio over for Matt's show and then Pete came in and started playing the Driving music. |
| 4:55
| Steve can't find the music on the 360º so Pete tells him to search for it. Thanks joke killer. |
| 4:56
| Luckily Steve didn't know that Pete was playing the song to make a tape for Ron Lewis who was having Sons of the Never Wrong on his show. Had Steve known that he would have strangled both of them. That was the day that Mary saved Pete's life by focusing all of Steve's attention on the kid down the hallway. |
| 4:57
| Then Steve called the kid a few names and told him to keep up the good work. He replied "I'm still here" and then Steve really had to be escorted out. Somehow that kid is still here though. |
| 4:58
| Steve lodged a formal complaint with Drew but he said he couldn't fire someone for messing up. If he did that this place would be a ghost town. |
| 4:59
| It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve's having a Burrito Supreme with extra beef, no beans and no sour cream. |
| 5:05
| Steve Dolinsky is here. On the channel 7 news today he took over prompter duties when the ladies couldn't stop eating candy. As it turns out it's easy to do, you just read. There's even a guy who slows it down or speeds it up based on how fast you're reading. |
| 5:06
| Earlier in the show Steve was accused of wearing the Big Hunk t-shirt for Steve Dolinsky since he mentioned it on his segment today. Pete accused Steve behind his back, probably because Steve Dolinsky called him a 42-year old woman last week. Pete is very passive-aggressive. |
| 5:07
| Steve's going to show Steve Dolinsky the shirt anyway. Pete probably wishes he was in here for the strip tease, that's what he wanted isn't it?! |
| 5:08
| Steve ordered to the t-shirt from the candy company and they sent him a box of Big Hunks. Then the woman from Hi Sweety also sent him several boxes of Big Hunks. |
| 5:09
| Steve remembers a candy bar from his childhood that was called 7-Up and it was 7 different kinds of chocolate-covered candy. |
| 5:10
| Steve Dolinsky isn't really a fan of chocolate. If he sees one of those cakes with molten chocolate in chocolate cake with chocolate frosting it seems like overkill. He prefers a chocolate accent. |
| 5:11
| You know who likes chocolate, Pete. That seems like something a 42-year old woman would like. Pete also likes cocoa, he likes to drink it from a big mug held by both hands. |
| 5:12
| Steve's favorite thing is pitting The Hungry Hound against Pete. The Hungry Hound always wins which just causes Pete to escalate. Next week he'll be claiming that Steve sent The Hungry Hound a Valentine. |
| 5:13
| The Hungry Hound brought in some cupcakes from Swirls in Lincoln Park. It's something good to have after the Taco Bell. |
| 5:14
| Steve Dolinsky really wants to get something going with fish tacos. He was just at the driving range at Diversey and that place was touted as having great fish tacos in the Tribune article. |
| 5:15
| Steve was frankly disappointed with the taco though. It seems like even the best tacos in Chicago are just OK. |
| 5:16
| The ones from Adobo Grill were really good, they were brought in by a guy named Chuy. That's short for Jesus. |
| 5:17
| This Friday Steve Dolinsky is doing a segment about Polish food since October is Polish Heritage month. Steve's been hearing commercials for that during the show today. |
| 5:18
| They actually found two great diners that served Polish food, mostly to Polish people, in the Central and Belmont area. |
| 5:19
| On Sunday at Red Light Steve Dolinsky is hosting a pig roast. Unfortunately it's the same day as the Bears game. |
| 5:20
| A few years ago Bobby Flay came in with a box he uses to roast pigs. It simulates the digging of a hole to roast the pig without having to dig. |
| 5:21
| They should have tried to tie it in with the Bears game and done it in the parking lot. Does he want to officially reschedule it now? |
| 5:22
| They're going to wait until Saturday afternoon before they reschedule. Steve's been in constant contact with the owner of the pig. The pig was already slaughtered since it takes a few days to process. |
| 5:23
| You have to kill the pig, gut the pig, scald the pig and then have it inspected by the USDA. How great would that have all been in the parking lot of Soldier Field? |
| 5:29
| Jerry Taft sends his best by the way. He saw Steve just as he was leaving ABC studios. Steve felt a little gay bringing cupcakes. It's no more gay than Steve wearing the Big Hunk t-shirt. |
| 5:30
| Steve and Jerry Taft have some good stories from when they used to hang out. One story he can tell is that Jerry was building an experimental airplane in his loft. He wasn't sure how he was going to get it out. |
| 5:31
| There was one time when Steve and Jerry were up all night and then Jerry had to get up at 6:00 AM and do the weather for WMAQ-AM. He did it from his condo and it took all the self-control Steve had to not start yelling stuff. |
| 5:32
| Steve didn't see an increase in phone calls on his radio show last Saturday but that just means he's doing a good show and people don't need to call in to add something. |
| 5:33
| The great thing about the radio is that chefs still bring in food. It's theater of the mind. |
| 5:34
| Last week's show was about Italian food. In Chicago Italian food is 4 pounds of pasta and you bring half of it home. In Italy a meal is 3 or 4 hours and they take their time. |
| 5:35
| People in this country like to make sure they're getting their money's worth so the doggy bag is very popular. That's probably why we're all fat in this country. |
| 5:36
| Caller Celeste heard The Hungry Hound mention a pizza place in Morton Grove and she didn't catch the name. That's called Burt's Place and they're on the cover of Saveur Magazine this month. It's on Ferris just near Dempster. |
| 5:37
| The restaurant is just the owner Burt and his wife in the kitchen, that's it. The pizza is cooked in very high pans, like at Lou Malnati's but it only comes about halfway up the pan. |
| 5:38
| Caller Kris was listening on Saturday but didn't have any questions. She was just enjoying the show and didn't want to call in. |
| 5:39
| Kris also liked Steve's tip about talking to the server when he's serving truffles. If you schmooze the server you might get a little more on your plate. |
| 5:40
| Caller Noel's buddy uses the box method to cook the whole pigs and he swears by it. |
| 5:41
| They have a small size and a larger size. Steve might be asking for the bigger one for his birthday this year. |
| 5:42
| Caller Nick was wondering if The Hungry Hound could recommend a nice restaurant to take his girlfriend where she could put a nice dress on. |
| 5:43
| It all depends on much he wants to spend. If he wants to go a little high-end Steve can recommend the Custom House in Printer's Row. |
| 5:44
| It's sort of a more modern steakhouse. If Nick is looking for an Italian place he should try Vivere at the Italian Village. That's old school and it's fancy. |
| 5:45
| Steve Dolinsky's going to come in every Wednesday but he can't stay this late next week. He has to get up to Highland Park to film a segment. |
| 5:46
| So that's how he does it, playing hard to get. This is just like that thing at the Park West. Steve heard about how he had to leave early for 6 months. |
| 5:53
| Steve likes The Hungry Hound, he's like Mr. Skin but for food. You can ask him about any place and he knows it. And it's not just because he brought cupcakes although that doesn't hurt. |

| Ben Gay is here with sports and he's darn-near bundled up. He had to break out his full-length racoon fur jacket that he bought from Chet Coppock. |
| 6:02
| Sources indicated the Bears will begin preparations for Sunday's game without Darwin Walker. |
| 6:03
| That Brian Griese really looks like an elf. He could probably dress up like an elf for Halloween. He could go as a Keebler elf or one of Santa's elves. His head is elfishly large with elf ears. |
| 6:04
| Ben likes Brian Griese but he could play the Lucky Charms leprechaun in a full-length motion picture. That's actually Ben's pet project, he's been working on it for close to 20 years. Originally he was going to play the lead role but he'll need someone younger. The plot is the backstory of the Lucky Charms leprechaun, like Wicked. That story should be told. |
| 6:05
| Brian Griese said the offense is looking to improve coming off the Green Bay game. Ben is behind Mr. Griese. He actually won a Mr. Greasy contest but that's a different kind of grease. |
| 6:06
| Asked if he'd be willing to come back to the Bears next year if the team changes course and offers him a long-term deal Lance Briggs said he'd love to stay. |
| 6:07
| The Bulls lost their pre-season opener against Milwaukee last night in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. |
| 6:08
| Ben Wallace finally broke out his signature headband for last night's game. He looked fantastic with the corn rows although Ben thinks they should be candy corn rows for the Halloween holiday. |
| 6:09
| The White Sox hired former Royals manager Buddy Bell as director of minor league instruction. |
| 6:10
| Ben is pretty sure Ed hates Buddy Bell or Buddy Black. One of the Buddy's is not his buddy. There's one Buddy he makes fun of all the time, it might be Buddy Black. Or maybe it's Buck Showalter. |
| 6:11
| Buddy Bell might have been Ed's roommate actually. Ed's had a lot of roommates over the years. Ben keeps trying to get him to open up about it but he's not much of a talker. That's a joke by the way. |
| 6:12
| Terrell Owens left a note for reporters about the Cowboys upcoming game against the Patriots. Understanding the importance of the game he said he would take all questions after the game about the old 81 (Randy Moss) and the new 81 (Owens). |
| 6:13
| That's a pretty good mind game right there. He's not going to talk before the game, he'll let the game speak for itself. |
| 6:27
| We've got a hard end tonight which Buzz always enjoys. Steve can't remember why but Buzz imagines it's for a sporting event. |
| 6:28
| Actually it's the Navy/Pitt game so it's a couple of local favorites. There are still al ot of Dave Wannstedt fans in the area and he coaches Pitt plus we've got the Great Lakes Naval Base just north of the city. |
| 6:29
| Actually the sailor who's arm was severed by the train asked if we could air the game to lift his spirits. ANd as it turns out his doctor is a big Wannstedt fan so it works out great. |
| 6:30
| This kind of thing is going to put us over the top. Take off our regular programming for the Navy/Pitt game. It has huge BCS implications. |
| 6:31
| Steve's not sure if it's Navy at Pitt, his email from Drew said Navy-Pitt. So that could mean anything. |
| 6:32
| Drew's walking around in a Yankees warm-up jacket today. Buzz just thought it was a track jacket. |
| 6:33
| Drew referred to himself as looking like some Yankee legend that Steve had never heard of. They're out of the playoffs but they're always in it so it doesn't matter. |
| 6:34
| We still don't know if Joe Torre is going to be fired. It seems like Steinbrenner likes to have the sword of Damacles hanging over people. Rumor is that Tony LaRussa might get the Yankees job. |
| 6:35
| New York would be a great place for Tony to drink, you can take a cab everywhere. If Steve were going to start drinking again he'd probably move to New York. No one would know him and you can take a cab everywhere. |
| 6:36
| Steve and Buzz really should be doing more pre-game, is there anyone Buzz can Google some information? |
| 6:37
| That works out for us because we get to keep Brendan until the end of the show. It's really making a difference now, Steve can feel it. |
| 6:42
| News with Buzz |
| 6:43
| The UAW strike against Chrysler is now over. It didn't even last for a whole day. It was shorter than the strike against GM last month. |
| 6:44
| The GM one was about the pension which the company gave to UAW to manage. If Steve's a UAW rank-and-file he's not comfortable with that. |
| 6:45
| 2 teachers and 2 students were wounded in a shooting at a downtown Cleveland high school today. The shooter was killed before being taken into custody. |
| 6:46
| Former President Jimmy Carter gave an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer today to talk about U.S. torture among other things. Jimmy's starting to sound like Jesse Jackson. |
| 6:47
| An aide to Iran's president said he was misunderstood when he told a group of Columbia University students that his country had no homosexuals. What he meant was that they had very few homosexuals. That's probably because the penalty for being a homosexual is death. |
| 6:48
| A Russian serial killer has said he collected the souls of his victims. He wanted to fill an entire chessboard with coins to mark each victim and came 4 short. He was dubbed the Chessboard Murderer. |
| 6:53
| Buzz is going to finish up the news and then we've got the big Navy/Pitt game that everyone is really excited about. |
| 6:54
| Steve likes to backtime so his show ends exactly at 7:00. There are 4 clocks in the studio and 2 of them have the same time. The clock on the wall is the most behind even though it seems like the go to clock. |
| 6:55
| Buzz has one more story about a Nashville-based think tank. This seems like a lackluster story. They think that Al Gore doesn't deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. |
| 6:56
| Steve has a tape from The View, is that too long to play? Whoopi Goldberg wanted Al Sharpton to apologize to the Duke lacrosse players. Steve likes the way Buzz says "Whoopi". |
| 6:57
| Alright hopefully Steve's right on this backtiming. |
