| Stan was trying to remember if Steve played at Durty Nellie's back in the day. He knows Steve played at Haymaker's but he wasn't sure about Durty Nellie's. |
| 2:03
| It sounds like somewhere Steve would play but he doesn't know for sure. Stan also heard that the Durty Nellie's Steve is playing at is a new one at a new location. |
| 2:04
| Steve remembers most of the places he played in but he doesn't remember playing at Durty Nellie's. Maybe he didn't but he will in a few weeks. All Steve knows is that it's in Palatine. |
| 2:05
| It's on Smith Street which sounds like a fake street name. Is it near John Doe Boulevard? |
| 2:06
| Buzz guarantees the show will be groovy. He can't remember all the places he's played but he doesn't think he's played at Durty Nellie's. Aimee keeps a running list of bars that Buzz played at which subsequently shut down. |
| 2:07
| Steve's looking at the Durty Nellie's website and it says his show starts at 8:00 but normally they start at 9:00. Also under type of music it says "talk radio personality" |
| 2:08
| Steve's show is the early show. At 10:00 PM a Led Zeppelin tribute band is coming on. Who books these things? Steve has to start early so a Led Zeppelin tribute band can come on at 10:00? |
| 2:09
| They're turning the room at 10:00 and charging $6? This ain't happening. Jimmy Mac's probably going to both gigs. We're giving away free tickets for Steve's show and then at 10:00 you have to leave or pay $6. |
| 2:10
| Steve doesn't recall any of that being told to him. You learn a lot of stuff at the club's website and none of it is good. |
| 2:11
| Steve goes on from 9:00 to 11:00, except for at that stupid House of Blues gig where he was playing at a restaurant. It was like he was at a Ground Round. Plus the 10:00 start time gave people extra time to get hammered. |
| 2:12
| It's hard enough playing the songs he wrote drunk while sober, but then he has to look out and see a bunch of obliterated people in the crowd? |
| 2:13
| It's bad enough Steve had to play the restaurant while Hanson was upstairs. He'd rather just not do anything and think he's a big shot. |
| 2:14
| You know the Led Zeppelin guys are going to be there early sound checking and hanging out in the dressing room. |
| 2:15
| Budweiser probably just paid off the club owner to get Steve squeezed in before Prezence, the Led Zeppelin cover band. He'll probably have to set up in front of their gear and he won't be able to use their fog machine. |

| 2:21
| Caller Dan has been a fan since the DAI days. That's almost 30 years in February. Steve appreciates it, as does Buzz. Buzz couldn't be more excited. |
| 2:22
| Dan's friend is in a band that played at Durty Nellie's. They were in the early slot, right before Prezence. He didn't know they were going to be there but it was a great surprise. He enjoys getting the Led out but who doesn't? |
| 2:23
| Dan's friend said their drummer was completely blotto in the dressing room. He has to live up to John Bonham. Dan's friend's band also had to play in front of Prezence's equipment too. |
| 2:24
| Steve's going to demand a full equipment change at Durty Nellie's. He doesn't want his amps feeling inferior by Prezence's giant Marshall stacks. |
| 2:25
| Dan imagines they'll want to go on right at 10:00 so Steve's set will probably end early. Good luck trying to physically get Steve off stage though. |
| 2:26
| Adam from promotions is already trying to work things out. It just seems uncool that Steve is listed as the early show. |
| 2:27
| It should be interesting, whatever happens. Who knows, maybe Steve and Buzz will end up jamming on Stairway. There are probably a lot of Zeppelin songs on harmonica, especially from the first album. |
| 2:28
| Buzz is remarkably uninformed when it comes to the Led Zeppelin catalog. Luckily Mark Czerniec knows all the harmonica songs. Didn't Buzz play harmonica on a Led Zeppelin song with a tribute band? |
| 2:29
| Buzz deliberately ignored Led Zeppelin for 20 years because he thought they were just a corporate entity. Turns out everyone was. |
| 2:30
| Steve doesn't dislike Led Zeppelin. He could take them or leave them. He's not really crazy about anything music-wise though. |
| 2:31
| Even has a youngster Steve wasn't really that into anything. But he's not like Mark or Jimmy Mac, who know way too much about Zeppelin. They've maintained their knowledge as the years went on. |
| 2:32
| Buzz remembers seeing Mark Czerniec on one of the trips engaged in a jam with some other musicians. They eventually got down to Led Zeppelin songs. |
| 2:33
| Steve has tickets to give away for the Durty Nellie's show. When you hear Keith Jackson say "Whoa Nelly" call in. Steve heard it yesterday and it didn't sound like the archetype "Whoa Nelly" |
| 2:34
| Pete was searching YouTube for Keith Jackson but the one he ended up using was from a Hillary Duff commercial that Mary sent him. Steve could probably just do it himself. |
| 2:35
| Mark Czerniec is on the phone. The airport he jammed in was Cabo and they were waiting for an hour and a half between security check-in and boarding the plane. |
| 2:36
| That might have been the last time we worked with Apple Vacations. The airport was totally shut down when they got there. |
| 2:37
| Everyone was waiting by the last open fast food restaurant when a group of Mexican musicians came through playing a song that was familiar to his ears. But he had to instruct them on how to properly play Stairway to Heaven because they weren't doing it right. |
| 2:38
| Maybe Mark could come down to Durty Nellie's and jam on Stairway to Heaven. That would really pull the rug out from under Prezence. You have to think that's there big showstopper. |
| 2:39
| Today Steve saw a Today's Show promo with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. They apparently have a duet album coming out. Is it bluegrass? |
| 2:40
| Mark just saw a picture of Robert Plant with Jessica Simpson, it was half nice to look at. Robert Plant might look better if he let himself age naturally. He's still going with the 70s rocker look. |
| 2:41
| One of the advantages of being a guy is you can age naturally, it just makes you look more distinguished. Just look at Steve and Buzz. |
| 2:42
| This might lead us right into a live read Buzz has for hair replacement. Steve was told he was supposed to ad-lib the commercial but Buzz wants to get his copy. Has Buzz undergone a treatment yet? |
| 2:43
| Buzz's copy is squirreled away down in the office so he'll have to go get it. There's some stuff in there that he does have to mention. Does it have anything to do with free-range bees? |
| 2:44
| Garry does the bee pollen commercials where he mentions free-range bees. What other kind of bees are there? They're all free-range. Buzz enjoys the "high-hive me" tag at the end of the spot, that really does it for him. |
| 2:49
| Buzz found the copy that he'd squirreled away. How about a little Robert Plant/Alison Kraus beforehand? |
| 2:50
| It really bugs Steve when the iTunes samples are distorted. He can't prove it but he thinks they do that on purpose so you can't listen for free. Steve's buying the whole album now. |

| Live read: Medical Hair Restoration Clinic |
| 2:52
| About a year and a half ago Aimee said something about Buzz's hair. It's good that he got right on it then. Buzz has been losing his hair since his early 20s. Steve never really noticed it. |
| 2:53
| Some people get worried when they lose their hair and some people don't. Buzz's beard is a nice distraction though. Buzz remembers growing his beard in for the first time and he couldn't believe how great it looked. It's as close to perfection as you can get. Are you supposed to say that about yourself? |
| 2:54
| At Buzz's age he's not trolling for chicks any more so he didn't care that he as losing his hair. He was sitting there one day in the back room, on his computer and Aimee comes in and starts chatting with him. |
| 2:55
| When they were done with their conversation Buzz went back to his computer but Aimee just hovered there for a while. Then she said "you know, you could use some hair. Maybe you need a transplant" and then left the room. Ouch! |
| 2:56
| Steve says ouch but in Buzz and Aimee's relationship there's no antagonizing. What's the point of being married then? |
| 2:57
| So Buzz thought on this for quite some time and realized that maybe Aimee cared about it. He doesn't care what anyone thinks except for the people who live in his house. |
| 2:58
| Buzz was a little surprised by her comment only because she's the massage therapist and she's all about being natural and holistic. But she wants him to get a hair transplant? |
| 2:59
| Around the same time the Medical Hair Restoration Clinic was buying ads on the station and former AE Mitch Pink offered Buzz a free procedure. |
| 3:00
| Buzz mentioned it on the air and then Jeff Schwartz, former program director, came down on Mitch for insulting him. Buzz didn't really care except for when Mitch patted his bald spot. |
| 3:01
| So Mitch sheepishly apologized and then Buzz turned down the offer because he's never seen a hair transplant that looked good. |
| 3:02
| However, Dr. Katona from the clinic pointed out that if it's a good transplant you won't be able to tell. That's a great selling point. |
| 3:03
| Aimee has two brothers who are twins. In all the time Buzz has known them he's never been able to tell them apart. But about 6 months ago one of them announced he'd had a hair transplant. |
| 3:04
| The next time Buzz saw the twins he couldn't tell who had had the procedure and who hadn't. Since Buzz has known them for 20 years and is sort of related he got to inspect the guy's head personally. Buzz really got in there and he couldn't tell if the hair had been put there by the hand of God or by Dr. Katona. |
| 3:05
| So the twin reported that back to the good doctor and then Buzz went out there to meet with him to talk about what he wanted. He wasn't going for the Wayne Cochran look, he just wanted to maintain his current look. |
| 3:10
| Steve noticed that Buzz is doing 5 of these spots today so why don't we count that as the first one. Otherwise we'll be talking about it all day. Steve doesn't need any hair, at least not on his head. He wouldn't mind some on his chest though. |
| 3:11
| Buzz just wanted to add one more thing. Save it for the other 4! He just wanted to say that some guys just look good bald, like Tom Thayer. You can't let the baldness own you. |
| 3:12
| Song: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Led Zeppelin |
| 3:18
| That's probably Steve's favorite Led Zeppelin song from Led Zeppelin I. Steve and Buzz are opening for a Led Zeppelin cover band at Durty Nellie's in a few weeks and they're very excited about it. |
| 3:24
| We did a "Whoa Nelly" there during the break, that was Steve doing it right? Pete has a few of them to choose from if Steve would like to switch them up. |
| 3:25
| If Pete's going to talk to Steve could he turn the TV off? Sometimes it bothers Steve and sometimes it doesn't. It depends on how complicated the conversation is. This could be fairly complicated. |
| 3:26
| Buzz is used to the TV being on so it doesn't bother him but in a way it always bothers him. Conceptually it's very funny though. Maybe he could just change the channel, there was a really irritating woman on CNN. |
| 3:27
| According to CNN our planet is in peril. The did some sort of special about it. There was actually a memo issued within CNN instructing people to tie the wildfires to the planet in peril and not global warming. |
| 3:28
| We had a different "Whoa Nelly" before but it was from a Hillary Duff commercial. Steve sort of misses the CNN now. Maybe Pete could go up on the volume one bar at a time. |
| 3:29
| Steve was hassling Pete about the "Whoa Nelly" he found but as it turns out it's very hard to find. It's not even one of his catchphrases, according to an interview he did. |
| 3:30
| As it turns out Jackson's former broadcast partner, Bob Griese, was always trying to make him say it. |
| 3:31
| One-third of the avocado crop in California has been damaged by the fires in California. That's really going to hurt Buzz at his Mexican restaurant, between this and the agave shortage. |
| 3:32
| They've probably had fires that were this bad in the past but they didn't have the TV coverage. Fires and people fleeing their homes looks good on TV. 1 million have been displaced from their homes though. |
| 3:33
| The plants and wood that is on fire has a high oil content which makes it hard to put out. |
| 3:34
| Steve feels really bad for the people at Lake Arrowhead because no one came to help them. |
| 3:35
| It's weird how the fire skips over some houses but hits other houses. It's also weird that people have pools but don't have the device to pump water out of the pool and help to fight the fire. |
| 3:36
| Wolf Blitzer is calling it a witch fire. That's a nice Halloween tie-in. Steve's dad is very upset that President Bush did a fly-by. They don't want him out there, they just want him to sign the |
| 3:37
| People in California are notorious for not wanting to be taxed on anything. As a result they've let the infrastructure fall apart a little bit. It's so expensive to live out there so obviously you want to keep your taxes down. |
| 3:38
| On the other hand it seems like you'd want to have plenty of stuff to fight fires since this happens every year. Every year they have the Santa Ana Winds and they're high and dry and then the fires start. |
| 3:39
| The one thing Steve misses from living out in California is the Santa Ana Winds. They make you feel anxious and edgy because you know something bad is going to happen. The Santa Ana Winds usually meant someone's house was going to catch on fire. |
| 3:40
| Buzz has experienced them a few times, they're hot and strong. That's how he likes his coffee and his women. |

| Buzz is getting the procedure done of the weekend. Is he going to look like Fabio on Monday? |
| 3:46
| On the phone is Dan Jiggetts from Comcast Sportsnet. He loves being on The Package. It's always our pleasure as he can well imagine. |
| 3:47
| The Hawks lost last night but we're finally going to be able to see their home games on TV. It seems like Rocky is trying to get back to marketing this team. |
| 3:48
| Steve's not a huge hockey fan but he likes it. When he was a kid he and his dad used to go to Kings games and they were the only two people in the stadium. |
| 3:49
| It seems like at some point Bill Wirtz just couldn't back down from the stance he took on the home games. |
| 3:50
| Dan is thinking the Bears can win very big on Sunday, they've taken enough insults and everyone doubts them. |
| 3:51
| Steve really likes that Brian Griese though. It seems like his career got off to a rough start but it's impossible to replace John Elway. You want to be the 6th or 7th guy after him. |
| 3:52
| Post Game Live was great on Sunday as well. It's always better when they win the game. |
| 3:53
| They'll be taping at Soldier Field a couple more times this season. They need to get a bigger table though. |
| 3:54
| Steve would like to see more Garrett Wolfe and Adrian Peterson. He'd also like to see Cedric Benson more on third down. |
| 4:01
| Steve thought he read somewhere that Brian Griese wanted to become a politician down the road. Right now though Steve is in love with him as a Bears QB. |
| 4:02
| That last drive on Sunday was great and the one against the Vikings was great as well. It's not Griese's fault that the defense couldn't contain Adrian Peterson. |

| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:05
| California wildfires have lead to the evacuation of nearly 1 million people. Some are blaming the wildfires on global warming but the connection is tenuous. |
| 4:06
| The wife of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl has dropped her lawsuit against Al-Qaeda. It's probably hard to serve papers to Osama bin Laden. |
| 4:07
| There's new video of Dick Cheney nodding off at a cabinet meeting. How 'bout that?! |
| 4:08
| New charges were filed against OJ Simpson in connection with the armed robbery in a Las Vegas hotel room. |
| 4:09
| It seems like OJ is finally going to jail but you never know with him. He's very slippery. He was hard to bring down in his football days too. |
| 4:10
| Russia's notorious chessboard killer has been found guilty of murdering 48 people, although he claims he killed more. The killer plied victims with vodka before smashing their heads with a hammer. This sounds like a weekend at Pete's house. |
| 4:11
| Chicago's top cop for writing DUI tickets is being investigated for not following procedure. Some 50 incidents ended up being dismissed. |
| 4:12
| The story came out after a reporter did a ride along with the officer and noticed that the incidents did not match what the officer's report. |

| What if Buzz took some of Steve's hair and had it implanted on his head? He could be a donor, go with the sliver lion look. |
| 4:22
| Bob and Ron are here and they're very excited that Buzz is going to get his freak flag back. Bob looks like he could use a transplant. Ron is Armenian or whatever so his hair is very bushy. Ron Bushy? The nomad of the group? |
| 4:23
| That's an Iron Butterfly reference, Ron just can't help himself. It's bad enough they come with a blank CD. Luckily we have one of the songs in our library. On some days Steve would go right along with Ron. He might as well at least go through the band's line-up. |
| 4:24
| Lee Dorman on bass, Eric Brann on guitar and Doug Ingle on keyboards. He might have been the thinker of the group. Steve's trying to clean it up but Bob and Ron are just making it messier. |
| 4:25
| On the back of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida each band member has a nickname or a little story but Steve can't remember any of them. So unless Bob and Ron have the album here they're of no help. |
| 4:26
| The good news is that there's some very potent, new pot in town which has reduced Bob and Ron well below the idiots they normally are. |
| 4:27
| It is Rocktober of course. This week marks the birthday of Leslie West from Mountain. It's also Greg Ridley's birthday this week, he was in Spooky Tooth and Humble Pie. |
| 4:28
| Steve was once emceeing a Mountain show and Leslie West kicked him off stage into the orchestra pit. Steve wasn't injured and got back up there and said he wasn't going to be kicked off by a fat junkie. |
| 4:29
| It's also Bill Wyman's birthday today. He last toured with the Stones in 1989, missing out on all the multi-million dollar tours. |
| 4:30
| Song: All Down the Line, The Rolling Stones |
| 4:33
| Just so Bob and Ron know, "No one member is responsible for the Butterfly sound. All four contribute ideas to each song that is recorded and those ideas are often as different as the four young men themselves. the sound which was introduced on "Heavy' becomes even more prominent in this their second LP, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. And the musical genius of Doug Ingle, Ron Bushy, Lee Dorman, and Erik Brann becomes even more obvious than before." |
| 4:34
| Buzz thought Mike Panera was in the mix as well. His butterfly knowledge is really weak. Ron thought he was in Sugarloaf. |
| 4:35
| Steve's got his hands full here, he doesn't need a Sugarloaf reference from Ron. Sometimes the stuff he thinks doesn't need to be said outloud. |
| 4:36
| You'd think Bob and Ron would just sit tight since Steve has the entire text from the back of the album. |
| 4:37
| Both Erik Brann and Ron Bushy were considered the nomads of the group. |
| 4:38
| Doug Ingle is the group's spokesman. His father was a church organist. Steve just read a newspaper article about a priest out in LA who did that. |
| 4:39
| Bob and Ron did hear Steve talking to Patterson Hood from Drive-By Truckers about vinyl. They were wondering if Steve would like them to store the records in their apartment. |
| 4:40
| Sadly, Bob and Ron take better care of their records than they do of themselves. Steve likes having all his records here in the building but he doesn't want a turntable. He likes that conundrum. |
| 4:45
| Does Buzz want to do his live read today? We had 5 today, who scheduled these live reads? |
| 4:46
| It was probably a greedy salesperson. Steve does have a lot of questions about Buzz's hair restoration. It's Buzz Kilman's This Old Head. |
| 4:47
| Song: Burn Down the Mission, Elton John |
| 4:53
| As a boy in So Cal Steve learned all about the California missions and Father Junìpero Serra. Buzz doesn't know who he is but he didn't grow up in So Cal. |
| 4:54
| Serra was the priest from Mexico who came up to California, set up all the missions and converted all the Native Americans to Catholicism. The first one was in San Diego. What's the first city in America with a mission Buzz? San Diego. |
| 4:55
| In California you study all that mission stuff in school and it's kind of fun. You take field trips to a lot of the missions too. |
| 4:56
| That's one of Buzz's favorite Elton John songs too. He forgot how much he liked that album. For about 6 months he listened to it nonstop |
| 4:57
| Steve used to go as Father Serra for Halloween. He was also the inventor of the missionary position. |
| 4:58
| Of all the places Buzz lived he doesn't remember learning anything specific about where he lived. Steve's not sure what kids learn out there now but he learned all about the missions and the Baja peninsula. |
| 4:59
| Then every class would make a casita in their classroom. Everyone would save their Quaker Oatmeal containers, cut them in half, paint them red and use them as Spanish tile roofs. |
| 5:00
| So there was that and then all the field trips. The trip to San Juan Capistrano was an all-day trip. Then you could buy a sweet half-coffee cup that said "just a swallow from Capistrano". |
| 5:01
| Buzz has a nice coffee cup collection from everywhere he goes. So he's got one from Mexico and one from Jamaica? |
| 5:02
| Buzz actually has a nice one from Hawaii and one he got at Lake Geneva last year. There's a drawing of a moose on the side so every time you drink you see it. Do they have moose in Wisconsin? |
| 5:03
| That's quite a collection Buzz has. Maybe he could bring it in and display it in the lobby some day. |
| 5:04
| Time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve's having an original taco today with the mild sauce. It's spicy enough for him. |
| 5:05
| Steve sees Steve Dolinsky outside the studio blowing his nose. At least he's not doing it in the studio, with food, like he did last week. Steve almost gagged when he saw that. Why is there even Kleenex in the studio? |
| 5:06
| Last week Buzz had a cold and Mary was trying to administer to the it with the Kleenex. And then Buzz just drops it on the floor and Stephanie has to pick it up. |
| 5:07
| Buzz feels bad that Stephanie had to pick up his Kleenex. That's a newsman thing though, he drops all his papers on the floor too. She was in here in a hazmat suit and everything. She look cute though, there's nothing like a girl in hazmat suit. |
| 5:11
| Alright the Hungry Hound is here, how's his cold? He threw down another nose blow during the break. He won't touch the food today though. |
| 5:12
| The Hungry Hound has brought in some Argentinean food. Steve and Buzz love that stuff! They're always wearing gaucho pants! |
| 5:13
| A lot of people know Argentinean food because of the grass-fed beef but The Hungry Hound found a place in the Cragin neighborhood, the Buenos Aires Deli. It doesn't look like much from the outside. |
| 5:14
| The Hungry Hound brought in a very addictive dessert. It's two cookies with dulce de leche sandwiched in between, rolled in coconut. |
| 5:15
| The Hungry Hound also brought in some finger sandwiches from the restaurant. It looks like the crusts were cut off. |
| 5:16
| This is the kind of stuff they eat at parties in Argentina, probably instead of hot dogs. |
| 5:17
| Steve should know that Linda Sylvia were quite pleased with all the food The Hungry Hound brought in today. |

| 5:19
| Steve has a couple of questions for Buzz about his procedure. First, does he have to grow his hair out a little bit in the back so they can transplant it to the top? Also, does the transplanted hair grow or does it stay the same length? |
| 5:20
| Buzz is not growing his hair out but the transplanted hair does grow once it's put in. So it's a living follicle. |
| 5:21
| Can Buzz just take one hair from Steve's chest for the transplant? It would be like they're going steady. |
| 5:28
| The Hungry Hound is here with some Argentinean food. Now that's not the same as Fogo de Chao right? |
| 5:29
| Fogo de Chao is a Brazilian Charruscaria but both Brazil and Argentina are meat-loving nations. Everything is grass-fed down there though. |
| 5:30
| Steve doesn't care what Bill Kurtis said, corn-fed beef tastes better. Growing up in LA he always had grass-fed beef. Then he moved here and realized corn-fed is the way to go. |
| 5:31
| When Steve was a kid they had a maid who was Argentinean and very hot. Her name was Gladys and there was some sort of arrangement where she worked for Steve's family and her husband worked for a company his dad repped. |
| 5:32
| She was there for about 6 months, sleeping in Steve's brother's room while they shared a room. It was driving Steve nuts and there was nothing he could do about it. |
| 5:33
| She went on vacation with the family too so she was always in her swimsuit. She drove Steve nuts for 6 months and then one day she was gone. |
| 5:34
| Caller Christine and her boyfriend just moved to Bridgeport and they're used to a pizza with sweeter sauce. |
| 5:35
| Vito & Nick's, over by dere, is near 79th and Pulaski and that's pretty good. Buzz suggests cruising their hood to find a place. |
| 5:36
| Steve suggests the Taylor Street area. The Hungry Hound suggest Pompeii which is near there. |
| 5:37
| Why would you move to a neighborhood without first scouting the pizza places? That's a loose move. |
| 5:38
| The Ramova Grill in Bridgeport is excellent and has great chili. Steve's been wanting chili lately, where's this place at? |
| 5:39
| Buzz wasn't aware of sweeter sauces in Chicago. It's been The Hungry Hound's experience that most of the pizza places in Chicago put a little more sugar in their sauce. |
| 5:40
| It seems like we talk about pizza every week with The Hungry Hound. Just today Osteria via Stato opened a pizza cafe at their restaurant that serves thin crust. |
| 5:41
| In general there are a lot of new places serving thin crust, wood fire cooked pizza. For years we used to be the city of deep dish but now it's all thin crust. |
| 5:42
| Caller Mark was wondering if The Hungry Hound has been to Tango, the Argentinean restaurant in Naperville. Does Gladys hang out there by chance? |
| 5:43
| Caller Bret runs a swingers group in the city and they're looking for a good place to throw parties. Steve's getting the willies here. What kind of swingers group can't find a place to party? |
| 5:44
| Steve's going to need a ruling on this one? Buzz probably wants to know how to get into the group with this new head of hair. |

| Steve thought Buzz had something to read, a Townstone spot. He thought he just read it. Maybe Buzz should start keeping track of this stuff? |
| 5:47
| Steve does sort of remember Buzz reading it but it's better to err on the side of caution. Buzz owes David $8,000 anyway. |
| 5:48
| Alright back to the swingers. Bret runs a swingers club but he doesn't make any money on it. He's just bringing people together to have sex with each other's wives. |
| 5:49
| Bret gets to have sex with someone's wife but on the other hand someone gets to have sex with his wife. That doesn't drive him nuts? |
| 5:50
| Could Steve join the club by himself? They normally don't let you swing alone but wouldn't it be something to have a celebrity in the group? |
