| Alrighty, another exciting live Steve Dahl Show on the station that only plays Steve Dahl. Buzz thinks this is radio history. |
| 2:02
| This station is history if that's what Buzz means. Buzz has never heard of a station featuring one person 24 hours a day. Once again he's making radio history. |
| 2:03
| Steve feels he's not really getting the pub for it and it sort of feels embarrassing for him. Buzz would prefer to look at it from a historical perspective. |
| 2:04
| It's very exciting for Buzz. As it turns out he's a big fan, he listens all the time. When Steve hears himself on the air he dives towards the radio to turn it off. |
| 2:05
| But people have emailed Steve telling him they love hearing everything this week. Maybe that was the option all along, SteveFM. How much can it cost to have mini Paul Konerko run the board all day? |
| 2:06
| It's probably too late now though, Steve has already signed some documents. Plus he'd get blamed for everything that went wrong. |
| 2:07
| Steve's not sure who's still left here. The sales staff can stay on until November but after that they have to take a pay cut. He's seen a few people coming out of here with cardboard boxes. It's amazing to Buzz that with all the technology we have, you still need a cardboard box when you leave. |
| 2:08
| Steve had an appointment with his new trainer today. Of course his old trainer, Cornell, broke up with him because he was late for an appointment. The reason he was late was because he had to meet with Rod Zimmerman about WCKG changing formats. That's kind of an important meeting. |
| 2:09
| Steve ran into Cornell today, now it's like having a crazy girlfriend who works at your health club. It's like Steve knocked him up or something. |
| 2:10
| Steve also ran into Jimmy Mac as he was going up to the 11th floor with all his stuff. He didn't have a cardboard box. They had a nice chat though and Steve told him to say hi to Wendy, but it was still depressing. |
| 2:11
| Then Steve went back downstairs to get a haircut. Shirley at King's Row had the radio on and Steve had to ask her to turn it off. |
| 2:12
| Steve was getting on the elevator and the one across from him opened and Dan Falato came out. Steve's pretty sure he's leaving too because he gave a goodbye wave. Steve tried to wave back but his door was closing and he couldn't get it opened in time. |
| 2:13
| So that was three people right in a row that Steve ran into. He was bound to run into people leaving here though. He wanted to say something to Dan but maybe he'll just call him. |
| 2:14
| Steve can't reconcile what's going on with is old trainer though. Buzz thinks it might be a Romanian thing. |
| 2:15
| Steve felt bad for Jimmy Mac since he didn't have a box. It might be a good idea to stock up on boxes when you're going to fire the entire staff. Or maybe a box that says The Package on it. |
| 2:16
| When Steve talks to the new guys from Jack FM they make fun of The Package but he pretends he didn't come up with it and hand nothing to do with it. |
| 2:17
| Buzz ran into Todd Cavanah as he was leaving. He said hi, vaguely aware of who he was after Todd said hello. |
| 2:18
| Then he got downstairs to the car where Aimee was picking him up. She got out of the driver's seat so Buzz thought he'd introduce them. Was Aimee just getting out to open Buzz's door? |
| 2:19
| Buzz was on his way to see Michael Clayton. He liked it but he's a little tired of seeing the earnest, concerned George Clooney on the silver screen. He's trying to save the world through film. |
| 2:21
| What was that? That break wasn't even a minute was it? Buzz went out to look at the clock and it was already down to a minute. |
| 2:22
| That break was a 1:20 and the next one is 1:45. Steve feels we should take the rest of the week off. |
| 2:23
| It's a Supersized Steve Dahl Show but Steve doesn't want that. There's already enough of him on this station this week, people are going to be sick of him by next Monday. |
| 2:24
| There are two breaks over 3:00 minutes, one at 3:40 and one at 5:20 if Buzz needs to schedule his bathroom breaks. |
| 2:25
| There are a lot of weird things going on around here. Steve's been copied on several emails back and forth between Troy from Balance for Life and Jen Donahue, who's also not staying. |
| 2:26
| Troy is freaking out and keeps going back and forth between keeping the ads and pulling them. Steve keeps seeing emails that say "Pull Dahl". At some point if there are 20 emails back and forth and nothing is getting done you need to pick up the phone. |
| 2:27
| Are there going to be commercials on Jack next week? They're very big on limited commercials over there. |
| 2:28
| Jack is very successful during the day playing all music but they want to be more successful in the morning. |
| 2:29
| Todd Cavanah is a music guy so there's sort of a little dance going on between him and Steve about the new morning show. He's happy to have Steve there though. |
| 2:30
| Todd did give the show some commercial charts for each hour and there's also a song list of everything they play at Jack. Half the time Steve and Mary spend the breaks thinking of a song to play so it'll be nice to have a list. |
| 2:31

| 2:35
| Caller Sean was wondering if Steve and Buzz have seen the Britney Spears video. It'll make you forget everything she's done in the last 6 months. |
| 2:36
| She wears the same outfit in the video that she did at the VMAs but she looks much better. |
| 2:37
| Steve needs a thumbs up or thumbs down on this call. The guy is interrupting Steve. He wants to talk to people since all the breaks are so short today. |
| 2:38
| Steve already said this before but she probably wore the same outfit because she looked so good in the video. You're always going to look better in the video shoot with the proper lighting. |
| 2:39
| Steve's going out to Vegas in a week or so for Pat's bachelor party. Steve thinks he was only invited so he could pay for everything. |
| 2:40
| Steve doesn't really want to be around for a lot of what's going on and they probably don't want him to be around for it either. |
| 2:41
| If Steve's in Vegas and Britney's there he'll try to pitch the prehab idea to her. She doesn't have to give up everything, she just has to manage it. |
| 2:42
| Buzz listened to one of the cuts from her new album and he found it highly entertaining |
| 2:43
| Mark Czerniec is throwing up random YouTube clips of her but Steve feels they haven't been properly vetted. They could have profanities in them but Steve has no way to stop and figure that out. |
| 2:44
| Buzz heard this song and said "turn it up!"? Does Piper have this song? He should keep her away from the video because Britney's a stripper in there. |
| 2:45
| In the video Britney is a brunette stripper but she's also all the blond girls at the bar. There's a part where Britney is dancing with herself which is pretty good. Maybe Steve should have asked to move to B96. |
| 2:46
| Buzz doesn't want Piper ending up as a stripper but it's OK for her to dress like Shakira? What's the difference? |
| 2:47
| When she dances like Shakira there's no pole, that's the big difference. Piper also saw a documentary about crumping recently. |
| 2:48
| A couple of weeks ago at the Bears game there was a girl dancing really suggestively. Steve said to Mike that you probably wouldn't want to bring your girlfriend to a game and have her dance like that. Mike just said that's how everyone dances now. |
| 2:49
| Alright it's time for a break but don't go too far Buzz. Or maybe just go fast. We might need to get Buzz a bucket or something . |
| 2:50
| Steve could probably play a song from the Jack FM list. He has Back in Black that'll buy us over 4 minutes. |
| 2:51
| Song: Back in Black, AC/DC |
| 2:54
| There you go, Back in Black. Buzz is hustling back in, he got caught up strolling. |
| 2:55
| Steve is behind on the breaks though. The good news is that there will only be one or two ads to discrep on the commercial log. |
| 2:56
| We've got the bumper coming up, then a Jack Promo, then an ad but Steve doesn't know what it's for. Then we're back with the rejoin. Pete has yet to insert the drop in at the end of the break. |
| 2:57
| Is Pete going to go Dick Biondi on his mic again today? Can't he just leave it in one place and not touch it? |
| 2:59
| Today when Steve was at the health club the TV was on in the lockerroom and it was very loud. There was a dude sitting there watching it, reading the paper, with earbuds in. |
| 3:00
| You would think he'd take out the earbuds if he's going to watch TV. Maybe he forgot they were in there. |
| 3:01
| Steve had his earbuds break apart on him yesterday when he was running and the plastic part went way up into his ear. Steve started to panic but managed to remove it with a twig before he got home. |
| 3:02
| Tamron Hall was on the TV at the gym and she was talking child safety on Halloween. There's that new law that if you're a sex offender you can't have your porch light on on Halloween. |
| 3:03
| You never really hear about kids getting molested on Halloween while they're trick or treating. It's like the whole razor blades in the apple, that never actually happened to anyone. |
| 3:04
| Halloween is not good molesting time, there are too many people. You want one-on-one molesting, not zone. |
| 3:05
| Steve's going to play this other break and get somewhat caught up. That'll give Buzz enough time to get down to the office for a Fig Newton but he'll have to eat it on the way. |
| 3:06
| Caller Anna wishes Steve a happy Halloween. Steve doesn't really care about Halloween any more, is there something wrong with him? Steve asked Buzz to dress up as Oscar de la Hoya in fishnets but as usual he's very uncooperative. |
| 3:07
| Anna wanted to let Steve know that there have been only two documented cases of kids being harmed by eating candy on Halloween. In both cases someone from the child's own family was responsible. |
| 3:08
| We don't really need to get into other examples of product tampering do we? Steve was just trying to say that the whole razor in an apple is urban legend. |
| 3:09
| Steve doesn't care about Halloween because his kids are all grown up. Buzz will go through her bag and eat a few pieces of candy when she comes home. |
| 3:10
| Steve did used to go through the boys bags when they were asleep and take out the good stuff. What's Piper going as this year? |
| 3:11
| Piper will be going as the Corpse Bride, every girl's dream. It's either that or a princess. |
| 3:12
| Buzz will try to catch Piper trick-or-treating if the weather permits. Buzz lives in an area with a lot of condos which is good trick-or-treating territory. |
| 3:13
| With the new timeslot Buzz will be able to go out with Piper next year. That's one thing Steve is not looking forward to. He likes this afternoon timeslot because he can avoid all Halloween festivities. |
| 3:14
| Steve does not want to sit home all afternoon while the door is answered 300 times by Janet, dressed as a witch. Then she'll yell at him for not answering the door even though he always says he doesn't want to do it. |
| 3:15

| 3:18
| Buzz was just out in the hallway, he probably noticed that our own Ed Silha (S-I-L-H-A, party of one) is here. |
| 3:19
| Ed's probably here for the big show dinner, he likes to get here early. Buzz wasn't at the last show dinner and he won't be there tonight either but that's cool. |
| 3:20
| Steve thought he should take the kids out to calm them down, they're like race horses. |
| 3:21
| The last time Steve took everyone out for dinner was at Smith & Wollensky and Ed was demanding that their waitress ask the girl at the bar if they dated. |
| 3:22
| So Steve got a private room for tonight so that won't even happen. He could probably ask Pete to ask Stephanie if they dated but he'd remember an interoffice romance. |
| 3:23
| Pete confirms Steve's story. Then Ed ordered ice cream shooters and shared them with Pete. |
| 3:24
| Pete objects to being lumped in with that group, that wasn't him. Now Ed is out in the hallway flailing his arms. Maybe he should come in here. |
| 3:25
| Ed claims that wasn't how the story went. He only asked the waitress if she remember if the girl in the corner on the phone was one that he dated. |
| 3:26
| Pete remembers the story the way Steve tells it. Steve's version is funnier of course. Then Ed asked for an order of ice cream shooters. |
| 3:27
| Pete refuses to acknowledge that he shared the ice cream shooter. He was sitting there grasping his coffee cup with both hands like he was Jennifer Anniston, but he draws the line at ice cream. |
| 3:28
| Who was sharing the ice cream with Ed then? Ed honestly can't remember but he thought it was also Brendan and Jim. Were they dripping ice cream onto their tongues from the shot glasses? |
| 3:29
| Steve needs to call Jim and get this all figured out. He did have a sorbet shooter, it was delicious. He didn't lick it with his tongue, the shot glass was big enough to fit your spoon. |
| 3:30
| Jim also remembers Steve's version of the story because Ed was pointing to a girl at the bar. Sounds like Ed has conquests all over Smith & Wollensky. That's what all those name tags on the wall are. |
| 3:31
| Was Jim told by some guy in the elevator that his iPod was too loud? He got into the elevator with Mary and some guy. Obviously Mary was there, that's how Steve knows it happened. |
| 3:32
| The guy didn't tell Jim to turn his iPod down though. What would he have done if he had though? Jim would have gotten right up in his face probably. |
| 3:33
| This story is kind of a letdown if the guy didn't tell Jim to turn his iPod down. He just went all parental and told Jim he was going to go deaf. Did the guy start it though or was it Mary? |
| 3:34
| This is like a dog chasing it's tail. Pete is looking like the guy Steve wants to talk to now. |
| 3:35
| Ok so if Jim can forget about Mary for a moment, he got on the elevator and he had his headphones on. He took them off to chat and the guy said they were too loud. |
| 3:36
| Jim said he likes to keep them loud but he didn't turn them down. Nice! Steve likes that. Next time that happens Jim should just stare right at him. That's a better story than it was but still not a great story. |
| 3:37
| Normally Jim doesn't have them that loud but he doesn't have his earbud headphones. He likes to drown out the conversations on the EL. |
| 3:38
| Steve recommends getting some noise-canceling headphones and a car too. Jim has a car but he doesn't want to drive it to work. |
| 3:39
| Sounds like a great life the kids are leading, going to concerts, riding the EL, listening to music, reading some books. What's Jim reading now? |
| 3:40
| Jim is reading Moby Dick, it's a slow read. Does Jim want to know how it ends? Don't tell him how it begins either. |
| 3:41
| Jim can read a book and listen to music? Does he have to listen to Led Zeppelin's Moby Dick the whole time? |
| 3:42
| You know Oprah thinks Moby Dick is a classic. She read the book on her own and then decided it was a classic. She did the same thing with East of Eden. |
| 3:44
| On the phone is Dan Jiggetts from Comcast Sportsnet. Dan's wondering if this is one of the last times he'll call into the show. |
| 3:45
| Steve's not sure if the Comcast thing transfers over to Jack. Steve doesn't see Dan waking up at 7:00 AM to call in, for free. Dan would do it for Steve. |
| 3:46
| Dan saw something Phil Rosenthal (aka Lumpy) wrote in the Tribune this morning. Dan started calling him Lumpy years ago. |
| 3:47
| Phil's column was about Garry's future. There was an option for Garry to come to the morning show but he didn't like the deal. |
| 3:48
| This time around Steve decided to take himself out of any sort of negotiating. |
| 3:49
| Is there a way for Dan to quickly tell Steve what went wrong with the Bears offense on Sunday? |
| 3:50
| First you have to look at the offensive line. If that breaks down then there are a lot of troubles. |
| 3:51
| Then you have to ask if Cedric doing enough? Is he playing like the #4 overall pick? |
| 3:52
| Cedric could be better but he's coming along. His development is just taking a little long. |
| 3:53
| Then you have Griese throwing 3 interceptions. If you could take those interceptions and turn them into field goals the Bears would have won the game. |
| 3:54
| Steve still can't believe the Bears made Griese go out there after the Eagles game and take back everything he said after the game. |
| 3:55
| Steve has made plans for the weekends when there were supposed to be playoff games. |
| 3:56
| Dan thinks the Bears could ruin his plans. Steve doesn't really have plans made, he'd love for them to make the playoffs. Does Dan really think it's going to happen? |
| 3:57
| Alright Steve's going to take a break and them some headlines. Jim Nayder is out there also because it's Halloween. |
| 3:58
| Buzz forgot all about that! We're giving Jim another crack at being on the show. Don't say crack! |
| 4:00
| It would be fine with Steve if the Bears made it to the playoffs. They already have his money and have distributed it to the players. Muhsin Muhammad is driving around in a car that Steve helped pay for! |
| 4:01
| Live read: Cheeseburger in Paradise |
| 4:02
| Hey good news Buzz! Cheeseburger in Paradise is bringing food in on Friday! |
| 4:03
| Should Steve call out to the house and get a trick-or-treater count? Buzz didn't even know that was going on yet. |
| 4:04
| Buzz has to say that he's really looking forward to eating Piper's candy tonight. He's been looking forward to it for days. |
| 4:05
| No one is home at Steve's house but we got to hear sweet answering machine message. The message features a woman with a British accent, it came with the phone. |
| 4:06
| Alright Matt Dahl is on the phone, he's out at the house answering the door. Matt's not supposed to be on the air any more though. He can't say goodbye, only David Hochberg can. |
| 4:07
| Janet's upstairs getting ready, putting her witches costume on. So far they haven't had any trick-or-treaters but that could be because the dogs are out front. |
| 4:08
| Is Matt's dog there too? Steve still thinks he'll end up taking care of that dog when Matt decides to go to Europe for a month or something. |
| 4:09
| Matt's giving out full-size candy bars at the house. Steve feels that's an invitation to rob the house. |
| 4:10
| Matt Dahl likes the trick-or-treating so he goes out there every year. The boys sort of have things down the way Buzz does. |
| 4:11
| Each boy picks one thing to do per year that gets them off the hook, leaving Steve on the hook. |
| 4:12
| Pat comes home to help Janet plant geraniums and Matt comes home for Halloween. Mike has it dialed down to doing nothing though. |
| 4:13
| Steve's already trying to schedule a meeting for next Halloween because he doesn't want to be home. Maybe he'll go back to drinking. |
| 4:14
| Caller Mark has a costume idea for Steve. He could go as Terri Hemmert. He just needs to get his wide leather watch band out. |
| 4:15
| Mark's looking forward to the new timeslot, he gets up very early in the morning. Then he's right out the door and on the road so he'll be able to listen from 6:30 to 7:30 on his way to work. |
| 4:16
| Then at work he can listen to the stream. He'll miss Steve in the afternoons just because there's nothing good on. |
| 4:17
| These short breaks have made it very difficult for Steve, who has a going problem, to even go to the bathroom. |
| 4:18
| Todd Cavanah is very worried about the talking in the morning at Jack FM. He wants it but he also has plans for commercial free hours after the show to pay people back. |
| 4:19
| Steve's going to take another break but it's not a long one. The mistake Buzz is making is that he's getting up. It's 1 minute and 20 seconds, it's not even worth getting up for. |
| 4:20
| Buzz has some very timely headlines. The fact that they're timely is a step in the right direction for Buzz. |
| 4:22
| How timely are these headlines? Because Steve wants to take a couple more calls. Buzz will just put them on ice, they're better aged anyway. |
| 4:23
| Caller Wade has another good costume for Steve that he could roll into the morning show. How about he gets into Big Steve, like those Russian nesting dolls. |
| 4:24
| Wade was wondering if he could make a request for the first song that Steve plays. Jack doesn't play requests, Steve was told that today. He told Todd that he doesn't pay requests but they told him anyway. |
| 4:25
| Wade wanted to hear some Foghat. The closest thing Steve has gotten to a lecture in all of this is about taking requests. Even if someone calls in and asks you to not play Pat Benatar, that's still a request. |
| 4:26
| If Steve plays Foghat on Monday it will not be for Wade. You have to imagine how weird it is as a grown man to have the request conversation with another adult. |
| 4:27
| Wade starts early in the morning and he's done early so he'll be able to listen to the entire show. That's great because every show is done like a movie, you have to hear the whole thing. |
| 4:28
| Caller Steve isn't into the Halloween stuff either. His wife lives for it though, they're the first house decorated on the block. |
| 4:29
| Steve should go as Dick Cheney for Halloween and he could bring his shotgun. Matt could bring it downtown for him. Then Buzz could go as the guy who was shot by Cheney. |
| 4:30
| Caller Steve is on the road from 7:00-8:00 so he'll be able to listen for that time for sure. |
| 4:31
| Caller Rick thinks that at 10:00 AM next Halloween Steve should look at Buzz and say "I gotta go." They could both kidney stone it and then head up to Northwestern, but they'll go to the college, not the hospital. |
| 4:32
| Rick will have Steve on in the car at 5:30 and then he'll pull it up on the internet when he gets to work. |
| 4:34
| Alright Jim Nayder here and he's wearing a fatigues hat. He's just doing it in solidarity with Buzz. What's up with his shirt, it looks like someone threw up on it. |
| 4:35
| Steve's going to eat a sandwich while Buzz does the headlines. There's no other time for him to eat because the breaks are a minute long. |
| 4:36
| Buzz is adapting to the shorter breaks though. For some reason it's caused Steve to kick into morning drive mode. |
| 4:37
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 4:38
| A jury found the Westboro Baptist Church liable for the protest of a marine's funeral in Kansas. |
| 4:39
| The church has been ordered to pay $2.9 million in damages to the relatives of a gay U.S. Marine after they cheered his death at his funeral. The church founder wept as the jury read the verdict. That's so sweet. |
| 4:40
| Steve wants to get this straight. So this group protests funerals of soldiers because they believe they were killed because this country tolerates homosexuality? Does this country really tolerate gays? Sure they can get married in a few states. Steve doesn't think Broadway in Chicago would be that great without gay people though. He doesn't want to see a straight Wicked. |
| 4:41
| Apparently Devil's Night is no more. There weren't any reported cases of fires in Detroit last night. That's probably because it's all burned down already. |
| 4:42
| Heather Mills is fed up with the press coverage of her. During a taped interview on British TV she said that she contemplated suicide at one time. |
| 4:43
| J-Lo's new movie Borderline will go straight to video. Steve thinks she should probably just become a stripper. |
| 4:45
| Alright Jim Nayder is here and he doesn't have his equipment with him. He's already less irritating. |
| 4:46
| Jim had a song for every news story and it was very frustrating for him. Steve doubts that very much but let's go back through them. Let's call Jim's bluff. |
| 4:47
| Any time Jim makes a connection to one of his songs it's tangential. He doesn't have a song for the interest rate story, that was the first one. The second story was about that church and he does have a song about that. It also ties in with Halloween. They better all tie in with Halloween! |
| 4:48
| The next story was the dry cleaner judge losing his job. Jim might actually have songs for every news story. Steve's rooting for Jim in his own way. |
| 4:49
| This song is about loving tacos. If you spill tacos on your clothing you have to take them to the cleaners. Just the fact that Steve is in control of Jim's CD works for him. Already the visit is a rousing success. |
| 4:50
| Alright the next story is boy playing with matches in LA starts fire. Jim pulled out all the stops for today didn't he? |
| 4:51
| The next story is George Ryan going to jail. Jim has a song that ties in with that and something from yesterday. |
| 4:52
| It's a Robert Goulet song, he died yesterday. Buzz was really digging the file footage of Robert Goulet on the news last night, he looked spectacular. |
| 4:53
| That's creepy Buzz. He didn't look alive but he did look great. He sort of looked like he was already embalmed. |
| 4:55
| What did Buzz get accomplished during that break? He managed to eat a Fig Newton, warm up his turkey sandwich and grab his water. Does he have his sandwich with him? |
| 4:56
| Buzz has a live read for Townstone, the last show is Saturday. They might rebroadcast it on Sunday though. |
| 4:57
| David is delusional but his best idea might have been replacing Rover as the morning guy. |
| 4:58
| Jim would like to go back to the news stories The next story was Halloween being banned in several countries. |
| 4:59
| The next time we do this, if there is a next time, Jim can call out the track numbers on the CD during the news. |
| 5:00
| OK this is a pretty funny song too. Why is this funny? Buzz is going to need a copy of this for sure. |
| 5:01
| You would think that during the break Buzz would have been searching for what the next stories were. He was too busy eating his sandwich. |
| 5:02
| Alright the next story was about Heather Mills. Is it going to be a Beatles song? |
| 5:03
| Another funny song but Steve can't take 2 minutes of it. |
| 5:04
| And that was it for the news so Jim had a song for every story. This seems like a good time for him to go then. |
| 5:05
| The other thing about Jim is that you can't get him out of there. That seems like a great place to end. Does he ever end on an up note? |
| 5:06
| Steve will play 3 Halloween songs, not necessarily all the way through. |
| 5:07
| This went pretty well so Steve wouldn't be opposed to rethinking the Jim Nayder ban. |
| 5:08
| Jim is a morning person so that'll work. Mary invited him to the big staff dinner so they can talk things over. |
| 5:09
| This is the last song though. Jim might think he'll get another song but he won't. Steve doesn't really need to hear Monster Mash, Steve just likes to say that to give him a hard time. |
| 5:10
| Jim is a novelty music snob so he looks down on something like Monster Mash. |
| 5:11
| Alright the last song is Jim's favorite Halloween song and it might be Steve's too. |
| 5:12
| The song that really scared Steve is Napoleon XIV. Jim almost brought that one but he could email it to he when he gets home. |
| 5:15
| That Transfusion song Jim played scared Steve as a kid but not as much as They're Coming to Take Me Away. |
| 5:16
| Every time that came on it scared Steve. It still sort of scares Steve when he hears it now. Buzz was a little older when that song came out and it disturbed him, which translates to being scared when you're younger. |

| Steve can't seem to find it online but Pete is looking for it. Steve does have the lyrics though. |

| Alright, Steve has the song and he's kind of excited about it. He finds it extremely scary. |
| 5:20
| Song: They're Coming to Take Me Away, Napoleon XIV |
| 5:23
| Is it Steve or Buzz who thinks that's a rip off of Rainy Day Women? Or Is Rainy Day Women a rip off of that? |
| 5:24
| Buzz never really thought about that until now but the beginnings are exactly the same. Steve knows that Napoleon XIV predates Bob Dylan. |
| 5:25
| Caller Bob is two years younger than Steve but that song also scared the hell out of him when he was a kid. |
| 5:25
| Bob remembers that on the flipside of that 45 the song was backwards. Steve did that with one of his songs, he's pretty sure it was Ayatollah. |
| 5:26
| Steve's calling out to the house to get a trick-or-treater update. The last time he called Matt answered and no one had been to the door yet. |
| 5:27
| Matt says that things have gotten crazy at the house. His currently tally is up to 185 kids but some people could have come back through. |
| 5:28
| Janet is on the phone now. She's not wearing a witch's costume, it's just a skeleton apron. |
| 5:29
| Janet thinks the extra hour of daylight will mean more older kids. Janet has already seem some sexy cheerleaders and sexy nurses. Older but still illegal right? Because if they're moms dressed like that Steve can make Halloween next year. |
| 5:30
| Matt said that one girl who came to the door said she was a big fan of Steve's but she was 15. Someone remind Matt that he's 22 so it's still illegal. |
| 5:31
| Matt's dog Walter is dressed as Darth Vader. Steve is really not interested in humanizing Matt's dog. |
| 5:32
| Steve needs to find a second job so he won't be around for next Halloween. What wasn't mentioned by Janet was that their dogs are also dressed in costumes. Steve was shown the costumes but he can't remember what they were. |
| 5:33
| At least Mabel is embarrassed that she has to wear a costume. That doesn't stop Janet though. |
| 5:34
| Janet was already having stuff delivered for the next holiday. Who delivers on Halloween? |
| 5:35
| Steve was hoping that since Pat is getting married on December 29th that they wouldn't have to have Christmas. Instead Janet just moved it up a week to a fake Christmas. Plus they still have to have the open house on Christmas Eve. That makes it worse! Can Steve crash at Buzz's place? |
| 5:36

| 5:38
| Every time Steve and Janet watches Curb Your Enthusiasm he gets yelled at for being too much like Larry. They both feel the same way about Halloween. |
| 5:39
| Buzz also feels that way but somehow he isn't hassled by it. When the thugs show up Buzz has the same reaction but Aimee tells him to go with it because it's felony-or-treat. |
| 5:40
| Bob and Ron are here and they're dressed as each other. You really can't tell the difference other than the beard. |
| 5:41
| What do Bob and Ron do on Halloween? Bob would give away candy but there aren't a lot of trick-or-treaters in his neighborhood. A lot of the treats you get are in little bags. It looks like rock candy but it's not. |
| 5:42
| Bob was opposed to speed bumps on his street but they put them in anyway. Steve can't believe that a Bob couldn't convince city hall. |
| 5:43
| It's the final day of Rocktober. Bob and Ron have lost their show too right? Where do they go now? |
| 5:44
| Bob and Ron will go back to their Imaginecasts just to keep their chops up. They're both sure that Jack will want to celebrate Progvember. Name a Prog band and Steve will search the playlist. |
| 5:45
| There's no Emerson, Lake and Palmer on there. How about Yes or Genesis? There's some Genesis and Peter Gabriel. It sounds like Wake and Bake Wednesdays is all ready to go then? |
| 5:46
| You have to hand it to Bob and Ron, they do know how to name stuff. That's one of the things that Garry was always good at. It could be sponsored by Shake n' Bake. |
| 5:47
| What time do Bob and Ron walk the dogs in the morning? Steve was thinking 5:30 for them. Bob's been interested in seeing a sunrise. |
| 5:48
| Bob and Ron did bring in Monster Mash but we don't really need to hear that. Steve's favorite thing is just singing it himself. |
| 5:49
| Bob and Ron also brought in the first song that really connected them to this show. Was this supposed to be a goodbye? |
| 5:50
| Bob and Ron were just looking to bookend things. They brought in Mr. Skin by Spirit which was part of a mixtape they made for Steve. |
| 5:51
| Maybe we should go with Monster Mash just to get these boys into the mainstream a little bit more. They have to do their Rock History first though don't they? It's like they don't even care about it. |
| 5:52
| It's Peter Green's birthday this week as well as Keith Emerson from Emerson, Lake and Palmer. |
| 5:53
| Bob and Ron were covering all their bases. They had a Peter Green song for Rock History, they had Spirit in case this was their last show and then they had Monster Mash for Halloween. |
| 5:54
| Song: Monster Mash, Bobby "Boris" Pickett |
| 5:56
| That's a good novelty record. It made it to the top of the billboards 3 different times. |
| 5:57
| Bob and Ron just wanted to thank all their listeners. There's no reason to get maudlin here, no goodbyes. |
| 5:58
| Steve shouldn't look out the studio window because he'll see Bob and Ron leaving with their cardboard boxes. Steve's seen enough of that already today. |
| 5:59
| Steve felt really bad for Jimmy Mac, he didn't have a cardboard box and he needed one. |
| 6:00
| Then Steve saw Dan getting off the elevator as he was trying to get back on. He tried to get the door open but he couldn't get to it fast enough. |
| 6:01
| There's no one else here though except the people who work on the show. Drew's not even here is he? |
| 6:02
| You notice a lot of this stuff when the station is rotting around you and when you're not on live they're playing tapes of you. Also the commercial breaks are all a minute long. |
| 6:03
| Alright Ben Gay is here with sports. We've had a long day because we're commercial-free. |
| 6:04
| When Ben came through the door Buzz was right behind him. It's a position Ben encourages, he has a very wide stance. |
| 6:05
| As you can imagine Ben is very excited to be on Jack FM. He knows Jack, he loves Jack, he is Jack. The rest of us are just waiting for that opportunity to know and love him. |
| 6:06
| Will Ben keep covering sports or should he cover Hollywood? He certainly has the lisp to it? |
| 6:07
| Ben is also looking forward to waking up early in the morning, he's an early riser and a high riser. He teaches a pilates class at 6:00 AM, it's good to stretch that early in the morning. |
| 6:08
| The Bulls are back in action for their regular season opener against the Nets tonight. |
| 6:09
| Jerry Angelo met with reporters at Halas Hall this week to dissect what was going wrong with the team at the halfway point of the season. Wouldn't it be funny if he finished it off with an R. Bud Dwyer thing? |
| 6:10
| The White Sox have declined club options on Darin Erstad and Mike Myers. |
| 6:11
| The Fighting Illini basketball team will take on Quincy tonight at Assembly Hall. That Jack Klugman can take on an entire team even without a larynx. |
| 6:12
| Lions QB John Kitna dressed as Joe Cullen, the team's offensive coordinator, for Halloween. Buzz might recall that last year Cullen was arrested for going through the Wendy's drive-thru nude. He dressed in a nude body suit while his wife dressed as Wendy. |
| 6:13
| Kitna has gotten criticism from the Detroit media for the costume. It's not malicious though. It was probably that Mitch Albom guy. |
| 6:16
| Steve forgot to talk to Ben Gay about Halloween, he might have to bring him in. But first Matt Dahl is on the phone. |
| 6:17
| The trick-or-treater count is up past 300 so they've finally gotten into the chocolates. Matt can save a few of Butterfingers for Steve but get rid of the rest of them. |
| 6:18
| Everything else is going fine, Matt's got Darth Walter helping him out at the front door. Why does Steve feel he's going to end up with Matt's dog? Even Buzz can feel it. |
| 6:19
| Steve can see Matt going away for a month to goof off while he watches the dog. |
| 6:20
| Mike Dahl actually agreed to watch the dog but Steve can see him getting fed up and bringing the dog out to their house. |
| 6:21
| Brendan doesn't like hearing that Matt might go out of town. He wants to get right back on the air. |
| 6:22
| Steve set up Matt and Brendan with an agent and there were emails going back and forth between everyone. But now Matt's not talking to the guy any more. He probably found another job. Steve never gets the payoff. Steve's calling the house again. |
| 6:23
| Matt emailed his agent again but hasn't heard back. He's probably very busy representing Buzz and putting together the Yankees. |
| 6:24
| Matt didn't CC Steve because he didn't want it to look like his hand was being held through this. How about a BCC? |
| 6:25
| Brendan doesn't want Matt leaving town. He told Steve that he'd put the dog down himself if it came to that. Steve's with him. |
| 6:26
| When was the last time Matt checked his email? He's unemployed, he should be checking it constantly. Buzz thinks Matt should read The Secret. |
| 6:30
| Alright Ben Gay is back to talk about Halloween. He's actually heading out to O'Hare to catch a flight to Key West. |
| 6:31
| Ben's flying in a private jet but don't tell Steve. Ben gets the feeling that Steve wouldn't like doing what he had to do to get on the jet. To Ben it was a bonus, he gets to do that and ride on a private jet? But to Steve it's an unspeakable act. |
| 6:32
| Buzz loves Ben's costume though. He's dressed as Ariel from The Little Mermaid but he has other options including Spongebob. |
| 6:35
| Buzz has the news but Steve needs to take a musical interlude first. |
| 6:36
| Song: More Than a Feeling, Boston |
| 6:40
| News with Buzz |
| 6:41
| The Westboro Baptist Church was ordered to pay the family of a gay soldier killed in Iraq $2.9 million in damages. The church founder was sobbing in church, probably because he doesn't have the money. |
| 6:42
| The $2.9 was just the beginning actually, it's $11 million total. The $2.9 was just a warm up before lunch. |
| 6:43
| A boy playing with matches started last week's Buckweed fire in California. That's Buckweed, not Buckwheat, otay?! |
| 6:44
| Attorney General nominee Michael McKasey is facing opposition. Dick Durbin says "I can't support his nomination." |
| 6:45
| Most are unhappy with his stance on torture. Yesterday he said he found waterboarding abhorrent but he wasn't sure if it was torture. It's just frightening. |
| 6:46
| Lawmakers plan to send Bush another S-Chip bill but he says he will continue vetoing them. |
| 6:55
| Steve's going to end the show with The Shaggs. It's a Halloween tradition. |
| 6:56
| Song: It's Halloween, The Shaggs |
