2:02 Stan is bummed out that Jay's Potato Chips might be going out of business. Steve thought they already had gone out of business.
2:03 They're still making chips but they filed for chapter 11 or 13 or something. Steve never really liked Jay's, he didn't grow up here so he didn't drink the Kool-Aid.
2:04 Steve likes the Salt & Pepper Kettle Chips, those are the only kind he'd go out of his way to buy and eat. Otherwise he doesn't really like potato chips.
2:05 Steve has a bag in the other room. He likes to leave them open because it makes the chips browner and greasier. That might be what trans fats are supposed to prevent but these chips don't have trans fats.
2:06 Steve doesn't really even like chips from a new bag, he likes to age them at least a week.
2:07 Steve's passing chips out now so everyone can sample some. Buzz is chewing very far away from his microphone. Buzz doesn't chew on mic, Steve knows that.
2:08 When Steve really wants to treat himself he grabs some chips and a really cold Coke.
2:09 For a while Steve was having some problems with the temperature of the beverages he had in the studio. Turns out someone had set the fridge to 2 up in his office.
2:10 Steve has asked everyone except for Tina if they turned the fridge to 2. Steve feels Tina would do it becuase she wants to save energy. Steve calls up to his office to talk to Tina.
2:11 Tina is currently not in the office but Stephanie thinks she's the one who did it. A few months ago something exploded in there because it was too cold so after that Tina might have set it to 2.
2:15 Jay's Food Inc. may close plants permanently in December if someone doesn't step forward to buy the company. Buzz, any extra money laying around?
2:16 Steve doesn't dislike Jay's. If he's running onion dip out at the house he goes with Jay's. He likes buying the box with the two bags in it. Steve doesn't really like chips, he just uses them as a vessel for the dip. Steve would double dip if he could.
2:17 Sometimes Steve puts some onion dip on a plate and eats it with a spoon. That off course grosses out Steve's sons. He doesn't see how it's any worse than eating dip on a chip. He tries to give them the ice cream cone versus bowl analogy but it never works.
2:18 Steve's favorite potato chip is the Kettle Chip though. You can get them at Dominick's, Jewel and on Peapod. It's a hearty chip. Buzz is looking for one in BBQ. Steve's going to check out their website.
2:19 There are a few meals Buzz likes chips with like a tuna fish sandwich. He likes the crazy flavor of the BBQ chip in contrast to the tuna fish.
2:20 Kettle Chips does make a BBQ variety in a Krinkle Cut. They also have Buffalo Bleu and Island Jerk. Steve's going to have to sample all of these flavors now.
2:21 This is why Jay's can't compete, they don't have all these varieties.
2:22 Steve needs to get Buzz some of these BBQ chips, it'll definitely stand up to the tuna sandwich. Steve thinks tuna sandwiches are disgusting though. He doesn't like mayo and he doesn't like food that smells and tastes like cat food.
2:23 Steve's very close to buying the 2 ounce bags for the office. Sometimes he sees that a bag has been opened improperly, like a rat gnawed at it, and he knows someone else has been in there. It's not really like a family up there where everyone is sharing.
2:24 Of course if Steve gets the smaller bags then he can't let them age properly. He doesn't really mind sharing with anyone though.
2:25 Steve can see why Jay's can't compete though. Kettle has a sweet website and all these varieties. Meanwhile you've got Oke-Doke popcorn which doesn't sound like something you want to eat.
2:26 Buzz always thought Jay's did very well and were big sellers. Steve thinks part of the problem could be that those boxes take up a lot of shelf space in stores.
2:27 Steve's on the Jay's website and it's not easy to navigate at all. He's trying to see the different varieties but he's in some sort of online store.
2:28 Buzz is pretty sure Jay's comes in bags now. He can see a giant bag on the grocery store shelf. Maybe they don't come in boxers any more.
2:29 Caller Bob is a Jay's delivery driver. He has some Jalapeño Krunchers in the back as well as some low-fat and some with Sea Salt. So they're at least making an effort.
2:30 The bulk size comes in a box but at more stores it's just in a bags. Now that it's been personalized like this Steve feels bad. Here he is supporting a bunch of hippies out in Oregon and a real listener calls in and works for Jay's.
2:31 The Japp family no longer owns Jay's though. Back in the Steve and Garry days one of their grandsons used to come by and drop off Jay's chips.
2:32 Bob was told the other day that someone in the Japp family still grows potatoes for the company.
2:33 Steve hopes everything works out for Jay's. For some reason he had an idea in his head that it was all illegal aliens making chips. He forgot about the distributors and the drivers.
2:34 Steve's ready to get on board with something like Jay's after Marshall Field's closed. Look at that, Steve did a total turnaround on that.
2:40 During the break Steve was looking for some songs about potatoes. Of course Mary suggested the Larkin & Moran Brothers song about the potato famine. Steve shot that down, he's putting them back in the St, Patrick's Day-only box.
2:41 Steve actually might even skip that St. Patrick's Day booking based on the behavior of that one band member at the last Dahlfins show. At Pete's behest one of them brought a pair of Cubs panties up on stage. Pete's not getting a Christmas bonus because of that.
2:42 Steve had enough trouble dealing with the nether region between the stage and the audience as it was. First he had to dispatch a really irritating Cubs fan who was also a fan of the show. Although when you're that drunk you're no longer a fan, you're a nuisance.
2:43 Then Dan Larkin walks up and puts a pair of Cubs panties right on Steve's amp. Steve didn't even know how he was supposed to react to that. What was Pete's goal with all that anyway? Did he think Steve would put them on his head?
2:44 Pete can't really even remember but he remembers thinking in his head at the time that it was a great idea. Then he gave Dan the panties from his own personal stash which makes it even worse.
2:45 Then Pete just let Steve rip on Dan for 5 minutes in front of everyone? That's very mean. Many next time Pete should let Steve in on the plan so he can make it funny. As a rule though he's no longer putting people's underwear on his head.
2:46 So Steve was going through iTunes looking for potato songs and there are quite a bit of them. He wanted to play some of the previews but lately they've all been muffled on his computer.
2:47 Maybe iTunes is distorting the previews. It sounded fine when Steve was listening off the air so that doesn't even make sense. How would iTunes know if he's listening to something in cue or on the air?
2:48 The distorted previews sort of ends this bit though. Not all of them are muffled though. Luckily The Wiggles song about potatoes works.
2:49 There's one woman who sounds like she'd play in Ron Lewis' living room. Steve's going to go ahead and download Potato Chips by Slim Gaillard. It has a 40s or 50s feel to it.
2:50 Song: Potato Chips, Slim Gaillard
2:54 Slim Gaillard was an African-American jazz singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarist. He was known for his vocalese singing and word play, which we just heard there.
2:55 Gaillard first rose to prominence in the 1930s as part of the jazz novelty act Slim & Slam with bassist Slam Stewart.
3:02 Steve has downloaded The Groove Juice Special by Slim Gaillard. He listened to a little of it and it sounded good although most of these songs sound the same.
3:03 They're all cool songs though. Steve likes it when the band yells stuff in unison from the bandstand. Buzz thinks they're a good chance they were all high on marijuana.
3:04 Song: The Groove Juice Special, Slim Gaillard
3:09 Steve would like to see a Buzz Kilman doing some of that on stage, it has a Blues Rocket Scientists feel to it. He could be wrong though.
3:10 That was a live version from 1946, the same year as that Baby Boomer who just applied for Social Security was born. What happened though, we got all uptight.
3:11 Every few decades things are really loose like the 20s, the 40s, sort of the 60s and then the 80s. Steve can see how we won the war with music like that though. Meanwhile you've got The Doors singing about The End, no wonder we lost in Vietnam.
3:12 There's a movie Buzz remembers about swing dancers in Nazi Germany in the 1940s but he can't remember what it's called.
3:18 Caller Laddie has the movie Buzz is looking for. Laddie, is that a nickname or something? Is it Irish?
3:19 Laddie is actually a derivation of Vladimir but it says Laddie on his birth certificate. That was nice of his parents to shorten it up right there on the birth certificate.
3:20 Swing Kids is the movie about kids dancing to swing music in Nazi Germany. It's about a group of close-knit kids who dance to banned swing music. It features Robert Sean Leonard and Christian Bale.
3:21 Christian Bale is probably sorry he made that movie. Roger Ebert gave it 1 star. Apparently our own Jim kid is familiar with Swing Kids as well. That doesn't surprise Buzz at all.
3:22 Steve calls down to the news room. Steve saw Jim during the last break and asked him about his haircut. But Jim seemed surprised that Steve had even noticed.
3:23 Either Jim is no longer with us or Steve has misdialed. Now Jim is on the other line so he must have misdialed. Jim doesn't need to get antsy and call in, Steve wanted to see who he accidentally called.
3:24 Steve asked Jim "did you get the name of the lawnmower that ran over you?" but he seemed surprised by the question. Jim thought it was a reference to him being rundown and mopey, not his haircut. Jim always looks mopey though. He got a haircut over the weekend because he had to go to a wedding.
3:25 Jim wouldn't say he's a fan of Swing Kids, he just knows of it because of Christian Bale. He always confuses it with Newsies which also features Christian Bale and dancing.
3:26 Did Jim go to a black wedding with his black girlfriend or was it a white wedding? Was it a nice day for a white wedding? Was it in town?
3:27 Jim says the wedding was in "the 'burbs" even though he's from the 'burbs. He's from Wheeling, that's the 'burbs! But one day he decided he was going to move downtown and wear tight t-shirts and vintage-looking Cubs hats and have a black girlfriend. Mission accomplished! Plus he's on the fringe of showbiz!
3:28 It sounds stupid to say that Steve misdialed the phone but it's positioned in a weird place right under the glare of the track lighting. He doesn't have his Ove Glove so he can't move the light.
3:29 The Ove Glove is made of Kevlar so you can touch anything with it. Plus you could stop a bullet. Maybe it's not Kevlar, maybe it's that stuff that race car drivers wear so their faces don't get burned.
3:30 There's not a lot of shooting that goes on around here so Steve doesn't need the Kevlar. One of these days it could happen though, Steve's money is on Dan Falato or Pete. It's a good thing Pete lives in Rogers Park, you can't have guns up there. Not that that ever stopped anyone.
3:31 It seems like sooner or later Pete will go on a rampage. He claims he's very docile and anti-gun but Steve feels there's simmering rage that comes out in weird ways, like making Dan Larkin bring panties up on stage. He might as well have shot him.
3:32 Could Pete at least keep us posted on when he gets the gun so we'll have a fighting chance? Then we'll invite some extra people in to up the body count and he can just wound Steve and Buzz. If he kills Steve and Buzz then who will talk about it?
3:42 On the phone is Pat Boyle from Comcast Sportsnet. He did a great job on Post Game Live on Sunday. It was fun for him to get out there with the fans.
3:43 That was a good call getting Soldier Field security to keep the troublemakers away from behind them. The biggest distraction Steve saw was Lauren Jiggetts not paying attention to her own dad. Steve told Dan that yesterday but he didn't seem surprised.
3:44 Lauren was with her boyfriend who looked a little dorky. All Steve is saying is she's probably still in play. Steve told our own Pete about that but he's a bit of a dork too. Steve still thinks Pete has a better shot though.
3:45 That was good coverage on Sunday especially after a tough loss like that. It's amazing to Pat that a year ago today we were talking about the Monday Night Football comeback against Arizona.
3:46 The Bears were 6-0 at that point and now they're 2-4. That defense just played terribly on Sunday and they only had one guy to key on, Adrian Peterson.
3:47 The defense played like a college team facing a pro team on Sunday. Brian Urlacher only had 5 tackles!
3:48 Pat knows about the injuries but it also seems like they have the wrong people in the wrong positions. It seems like Danieal Manning should be at free safety.
3:49 Did Pat just yawn? It sounded like he yawned. that was a sigh though, he's frustrated. 9-7 is probably the worst the Bears can do and still get into the playoffs.
3:50 Turns out Steve was wrong about the Diamondbacks being a team of destiny. The Rockies are a pretty good story though. They've won 21 of 22 since September.
3:51 The team seems very likable as a team too. The TV executives are probably wringing their hands hoping they won't have a Cleveland-Colorado World Series but that seems like the better story.
3:52 Steve also likes Kenny Lofton coming back to the Indians and doing well for them. Did Pat just yawn again or was that another sigh?
3:53 There's not a lot to get excited about right now. There is a Bulls preseason game tonight and the Hawks are 3-2. The Hawks have made some interesting front office moves already.
3:54 Pat is surprised everything went down so quickly after Bill Wirtz left. Steve thinks that Rocky is a lot like Bill was so they probably could never work together in the same place. Peter probably always deferred to his dad though. That's just his guess.
3:55 Steve hopes the Hawks do well, he wants his winter hat to be the black one with the sweet logo on the front. That is the sweetest logo. Maybe Steve should send out for one of those.
3:56 A lot of people say hockey is dead but Pat doesn't buy into it. It's a pretty exciting game to watch though, it's football 3 days a week on skates. And all the guys weigh about 150.
3:57 Hockey looks great in HD too because you can see the puck and you've got the widescreen.
3:58 Maybe Steve should call over to Rocky and get some Hawks tickets or something. It doesn't look like he'll have to worry about Bears post-season tickets.
3:59 Pat still wants to get Steve on Post Game Live though. They're going to need a bigger table for 5 guys though.
4:00 Steve was completely fine with the decision to not go on the show just so Pat knows. They have a good thing going with the 4 of them. Maybe next time Steve should just hang out in the background on his cellphone or talking to Lauren Jiggetts.
4:01 Every week Steve likes Jim Miller more and more. If he could give one word of advice though, Jim uses a lot of football lingo. He might want to back off that a little bit but his analysis is great.
4:02 Pat is the same way with the lingo, he's always asking Jim to explain something. But when he does it's pretty easy to understand. He also has a lot of insight because he played under Bill Belichick, John Gruden and Bill Cowher.
4:10 Live read: Balance for Life
4:11 For breakfast today Steve had French toast and turkey sausage. His snack is a mini burrito and lunch is a roast beef wrap.
4:12 For dinner Steve has some sort of chicken dish and then cookies for another snack.
4:18 Headlines with Buzz
4:19 So far Vladimir Putin on the Ritz has not been assassinated during his trip to Iran. He did issue a warning to the U.S. to not invade the country.
4:20 Chester "The Alleged Molester" Stiles has been arrested in Nevada. He looks so hot in that booking photo.
4:21 The creepiest thing Steve has seen in the coverage of the story is a still frame of the video on CNN. The girl is sitting on her bed, with her clothes on, face pixilated but it's unnecessary.
4:22 CNN should be busted for possession of child pornography. If Steve had that photo on his computer he'd be busted.
4:23 They say the little girl has no memory of what happened so it seems like CNN should keep it that way. Or they could remind her with pictures in hopes that she'll remember and eventually give them an interview.
4:24 Turbans are in the news. They will no longer have to be removed during airport security checks. But Steve still has to take off his pants and his shoes? C'mon! What's happening here? It seems like you could hide a lot under a turban.
4:25 The whole thing is becoming ridiculous. And now they're going to have those x-ray machines that show your willy? Steve would rather be on a plane that's hijacked than have his willy on display for everyone to see.
4:26 From our culinary bureau comes word of grey squirrel pancakes being served at the Wild Boar Hotel in Britain. Why would you want meat in your pancakes? It must be more like a crepe.
4:27 A Malaysian woman who thought she was having sex with her husband is now claiming she was raped by a house guest.
4:28 She went to bed after a busy day of preparing for the end of the Ramadan holiday. After an hour a man got into bed whom she thought was her husband. It wasn't until her husband walked into the room later in his work clothes that she realized what had happened.
4:29 The house guest has been arrested. Buzz doesn't believe it for a second. Although their guest bedroom will probably never be empty again. That's just good old fashioned Malaysian hospitality.
4:34 Fine job on the headlines as always Buzz. He always has his finger on the pulse of mankind.
4:35 There's talk of a lot of new taxes being bandied about. With any luck Chicago will have the highest sales tax in the country.
4:36 They keep showing all this stuff on TV but Steve can't watch it. First they're showing the alderman acting like they don't want the property tax increase even though they really do. They need that money to grease the wheels and keep things moving.
4:37 Then you've got Todd Stroger who will give a $300,000 job to anyone he knows. Buzz blames Stan for Todd Stroger, he voted for him. Stan has since recanted on that though. It's probably more due to the fact that there are enough people living in Cook County who work for Cook County and they keep electing him.
4:38 Steve also doesn't think $3 is a lot of pay for public transportation when you compare it to having a car. The problem is the CTA wasn't charging enough for the service.
4:39 Steve gets that people make minimum wage and it doesn't seem right that it'll cost 2 hours worth of salary to get to and from work.
4:40 That being said public transportation is cheaper than having a car and driving it to work and paying for parking.
4:41 It seems like the best solution is to trim the fat. We're giving politicians a lot of money and they're wasting it.
4:42 The other thing that happens with public transportation is they cut the service to the poorest areas first.
4:43 Steve would be fine if they cut down on a few Burlington Northern lines. Make those people get cars and find parking down here.
4:44 This is why Steve doesn't like to see all this stuff on TV. He'd rather just hear about squirrel pancakes.
4:45 Steve doesn't want to take calls on all this though. He agrees with the callers though like Scott in Lake Bluff. A fare increase is better than service cuts.
4:46 What they do though is cut service to the poorest people and then show them on TV, with nothing, having to walk to work. Then people are fine with tax increases.
4:47 There is a guy on hold who says that squirrel meat tastes like dark turkey meat. Steve doesn't like dark meat and he's not the only one. It seems like they've been engineering turkeys so they don't have a lot of dark meat.
4:48 Buzz can't ever see himself eating squirrel so it doesn't matter. There are a ton of them in Steve's backyard, he could nab a few for Buzz. There are just too many of them back there. They're having squirrel pool parties and barbecuing nuts.
4:55 Caller Frank wanted to direct Steve to the Squirrel Catapult online. A guy has set up a video camera and a catapult on his deck.
4:56 When the squirrel wanders up to get some food in the trap it's launched by a catapult into the yard. They've even got some nice music with it, Been Caught Stealing.
4:57 That's not a bad idea. Steve wouldn't be killing the squirrels just launching them into his neighbors yard.
4:58 Frank doesn't have squirrel problems but his in-laws in Canada have squirrel problems. Steve's not in Canada, he's in the Western Suburbs.
4:59 Frank was wondering if he could say hi to his wife. She actually just went down the hall to clean up.
5:00 Caller Chuck thinks Steve should get a coyote to take care of the squirrels as well as the rabbits and neighbors pets.
5:01 That's almost like having a dog only more hardcore. It would probably keep his own dogs out of the backyard and the pool. Plus coyotes eat garbage in case you have too much.
5:02 The name of Pete's softball team is the Squirrelz. Do they always lose to the Coyotes?
5:03 It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. It's only day one of the Taco Bell World Food Program campaign. Already a Taco Bell in Evanston has received a flood of support from Northwestern students.
5:04 Tacos are hip with the kids and you know who's to thank for that? Steve. That could be Ron Lewis spearheading the effort up in Evanston.
5:05 It's Taco Tuesday which means Buzz will also be enjoying an original Taco Bell taco.
5:06 Song: Jump Into the Fire, Harry Nilsson
5:13 Steve has a couple of funny stories to read. The first one is from the New York Post. Two women were spotted in the lobby of the Shore Club in Miami early Sunday morning.
5:14 They were screaming at the front desk clerk because they'd spent the night in Derek Jeter's room and were being forced to pay for parking. You'd think Jeter would just call down and have that comped but he was probably sleeping. Kudos to him for continuing to enjoy the post-season even though his team isn't in it.
5:15 The New York Post suggests that Jeter tie up and post-tryst loose ends if he wants to keep his sex life secret. What does he care, he's not married is he?
5:16 The other story Steve thought was interesting was the woman who was spying on her husband and got caught under an SUV.
5:17 Steve's waiting for the story to load. The woman feared her husband was cheating on her so she went to spy on him.
5:18 She crawled underneath an SUV outside her husband's alleged girlfriend's house. She apparently fell asleep and then became trapped after someone let the air out of the car's tires.
5:19 Steve can see the husband and alleged girlfriend doing that as a tag team effort. He takes the front, she takes the back.
5:20 Steve likes to do thinks in threes so the last story he has is about a man in Florida was was electrocuted while picking avocados.
5:21 There are actually so many great stories on here. There's the story of the Australian man who survived a 9-story fall in his underpants.
5:22 There's also the story about the Naked Tickler who was captured after years of eluding the police. Buzz has actually be reporting on that story for years so he as going to do it during the news.
5:23 Steve will do the story about the guy in his underpants then. A 35-year old man was attempting to build planks across to a neighbor's apartment when he lost his balance and fell.
5:24 You have to ask why he was doing that in his underpants though. If Steve's the neighbor he doesn't appreciate the guy coming over in his underpants.
5:25 There's a picture of the underpants and there's some sort of weird pouch in the front. It seems like the dudes in Australia really appreciate each others dudeness. They're not gay they just want to hang out and have a Foster's.
5:31 Live read: Townstone Financial
5:32 This live read is about Mackenzie. Do we really need the exact amount of how much the person's house is worth?
5:33 Also, David has exceeded his word count here. He's getting a little sloppy. Mackenzie's house in Florida was also not properly explained.
5:34 David also references someone from yesterday's live read, as if people remember what happened in yesterday's live read.
5:35 David Hochberg is on the phone but he was waiting for an introduction from Steve. Is he listening to himself? He hasn't called in for 6 weeks but maybe he needs to call in once a week to keep him in line.
5:36 David religiously checks the word count on these live reads to make sure it's at 150.
5:37 David wanted to congratulate Steve on his great ratings. We don't talk about that stuff. But congrats to David on his low ratings.
5:38 David was wondering if Steve and Buzz wanted to have dinner next week or something. Will he try to talk them into coming to work for him?
5:39 David tried that with Matt and Brendan when he took them out to dinner. For the most part he's been successful though, we don't even have a sales staff any more because they're all working for him.
5:40 It's just a cow skull and a poison watering hole back there selling ads. He tried to tell Matt and Brendan, while they were waiting for the souffle at Morton's, that there's no money in radio.
5:41 Steve's going to perform a word count on the air for this live read. Buzz thinks he should just count one line an multiply by the number of lines.
5:42 Buzz can't believe Steve is counting every word on the air. This is a guy who heckled him for not setting up his amp story fast enough.
5:43 Steve's word out is at 153 for the live read, that's not bad.
5:44 Buzz felt that he never got to the punchline and payoff for the amp story. Steve thought we finished that whole thing. We took calls on it and everything.
5:45 When someone is crazy, like Buzz is about the amps, Steve has to double down on the whole thing. Steve thought the whole story came out. It's amp collecting, there is no payoff.
5:46 Buzz had an old Blues Junior that took to the bars. In 2005 they came out with the 60th anniversary edition with the amber tweed. Then someone decided to put out a "distressed" version with scrapes and wear and tear on it.
5:47 Eventually they discontinued that one but Buzz had to have it because it was a collector's item. So he sent that amp to his guy in New Jersey who tweaked it and boosted the volume
5:48 But then Buzz noticed these other Blues Juniors that weren't distressed and they looked great. So he got one of those and took it to a gig. The next morning he noticed a huge black smudge on top of it. He has no idea how it got there but he knew he did it.
5:49 Buzz broke out all his cleaning materials and the stain was sort of faded. The next day he looked at his work and the tweed had been discolored. For two weeks he was walking around the house, sneaking up on the amp at different angles to see if there was a color change.
5:50 Finally he decided he couldn't live with the stain. So Big Bucks Buzzy went online and found a great deal on a like new Blues Junior in the amber tweed. Then he was going to take that amp and switch insides with the stuff that was tweaked from his guy in New Jersey.
5:51 Then he was going to sell the one with the slight stain on top. So this the 4th amp coming in. That one arrived and it wasn't the same amber color that Buzz had seen. In Steve's defense, how would anyone know the depths of Buzz's depravity?
5:52 At this point in the story Buzz called Tony Buffalo looking for that amp with the amber tweed he wanted.
5:53 Tony told Buzz to call Ken Dumel at Guitar Center. He found him the amp he was looking for. So as the 5th amp is on it's way Buzz sells the 3rd amp with the slight discoloration on it.
5:54 So now Buzz is back to 4 amps. He has since fallen in love with the amp that features the slightly lighter tweed color.
5:58 So is all of that off Buzz's chest? Because Steve doesn't want him carrying that around with him.
5:59 It's bad enough Steve was counting on the air but then to dredge up feeling that in Buzz!
6:00 Sometimes things get lodged, Steve knows that. Buzz should just speak up and say something though. He is mad as a hatter though, he knows that right?
6:01 Steve might have sidetracked Buzz the last time because he went off on how he was mistreated at Guitar Center the last time he was there.
6:02 Steve was treated just as poorly today at a health club he's belonged to for 5 years. His trainer broke up with him so Steve's training himself.
6:03 Steve's card for the club broke last week. He had to give the woman at the front his name and she let him in to go to the desk and get a new card.
6:04 The woman at the desk told him they didn't have ribbon in the printer so they couldn't get him a new card. She gave him a temporary card so he could use the locker.
6:05 When Steve got in today they still didn't have a ribbon in the new printer and the same woman asked him his name even though she knows who he is. She did give him a key card for the locker though.
6:06 Steve is used to having a combination on his locker so he forgot to lock it with the key. When he got back to the locker the card was gone so he had to go fine the locker room attendant who had to check his ID and come back to the locker room with him.
6:07 Steve had a good thing going on at the locker room across the street and it was all messed up because he was late for one training session.
6:08 Steve has some news but Steve has to take a break. That will give time to make the news even more up-to-date.
6:13 Buzz actually did update the news, Steve has new audio that was just brought in.
6:14 News with Buzz
6:15 The House overwhelmingly passed a media shield law designed to protect reporters from being forced to reveal sources, as Steve so often pressures Buzz to do.
6:16 18 people were arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle drugs through New York's JFK AIrport.
6:17 Chester Stiles is no in custody in Nevada. Police allege that he videotaped himself sexually abusing a 4-year old girl. He was picked up on a traffic stop for not having license plates. That's not a good plan when you're running from the law.
6:18 A school in Maine is considering prescribing birth control for students in 6th to 8th grade. That sounds like a bad idea. Shouldn't that be done in the home? This is where Steve starts in on his forced sterilization thing. It has some good talking points, it really gets people going at parties.
6:19 About 5,000 birds were seized in the largest cockfighting bust ever on the Mexican border near San Diego. What was the greatest cockfighting in the world Buzz? San Diego!
6:20 A Florida man who left a 5-year old girl to be killed by alligators has been given the death penalty in her death.
6:21 Chicago Park District officials will vote on a measure to ban smoking in parks, playgrounds and beaches in the city. Can't they ban it in front of buildings too?
6:22 When Steve started working here his Green Room was the smoking lounge. When Buzz first came to Chicago he had his own studio next to Steve and Garry's. He'd sit there chain smoking for 4 hours a day during the show.
6:23 Buzz's studio had it's own ventilation system so it was almost like a science experiment.
6:30 Steve has a song about cockfighting suggested by our own Mark Czerniec. He suggests this song every time there's a story about cockfighting but Steve's not sure he's ever played it on the air.
6:31 He does know the song and he likes it. What was the greatest cockfighting city in the world Buzz? It probably still is the greatest cockfighting city, they only took down one ring.
6:32 Steve doesn't get the difference between letting the birds fight and euthanizing them. If they're bred to fight then let them fight. Don't let them just sit around doing nothing, where's the majesty in that?
6:33 Song: Gallo del Cielo, Joe Ely
6:38 What's the greatest cockfighting city in the world Buzz? San Diego!
6:44 We've got a Bulls game coming up after the show but first of all, an email from an angry customer.
6:45 Buzz said he didn't want Steve to do the story about the Naked Tickler because he was going to do it in the news, culminating years of research on his part. Buzz never did the story which frees Steve up to do it.
6:46 Dateline New Smyrna Beach, Florida, where Steve and Buzz hope to one day retire and become perverts.
6:47 A 50-year old man was arrested after police said he...OK Steve can sort of see why Buzz didn't do this story. The man went to the bathroom in a woman's milk and left bodily fluids in her house. Isn't that one in the same?
6:48 Police now believe the man is the same person who has been sneaking into women's homes for years and tickling them while they sleep.
6:49 Police say Thomas Blacine admitted to videotaping women while they slept but didn't admitting to tickling them.
6:56 Buzz's father used to tickle him until he wept. When Steve was a kid there was a guy who used to do that.
6:57 Mr. Macmillan would shake your hand really hard and then tickle you. His parents wouldn't stop it either, everyone would just laugh.
6:58 Steve felt like he was fondled but the good news is he's completely fine now.
