| Steve thought he had his mic on so he started talking. He had 3 extra minutes and he wasn't ready. Honestly, Steve got caught up watching Drew Peterson. |
| 5:34
| That was The Cure of course. That's some of the music that Jack plays that Steve isn't familiar with. He doesn't really like the 80's stuff. |
| 5:35
| One of the songs on Steve's list today is Flock of Seagulls. Steve doesn't really like them. Buzz doesn't either but he has a connection to them. |
| 5:36
| We go through this every time Flock of Seagulls is brought up. Buzz has a connection to The Flock, who were a 60's band. Flock of Seagulls is the way Wendy Snyder used to wear her hair. |
| 5:37
| Steve got another email the other day asking him what happened to Wendy. She's been gone for almost a year! |
| 5:38
| NBC was at the airport to meet Drew Peterson when he came back from New York. Rob Elgas doesn't want to take up any more of his time but they're going to try to interview him at the baggage claim anyway. |
| 5:39
| You can't say you're fed up with the media right after you voluntarily went on the Today's Show. |
| 5:40
| Steve would still like to know if NBC flew him first class. You'd like to think they did. He was wearing a heavier winter jacket so he must have prepared for the cold weather coming back. |
| 5:41
| Rob Elgas asks Peterson if he got any sleep last night. He sounds like a flight attendant! |
| 5:42
| If Steve got sent out to the airport to interview a knucklehead like Drew Peterson he'd start firing off questions right away. |
| 5:43
| Steve has some bizarre connections to the Drew Peterson case. As far as Steve can tell Drew's brother won a trip to Hawaii with the show back in the 80's. Steve also got an email from the guy who got an email from Stacy. |
| 5:44
| Drew Peterson's brother was on TV quite a bit last night, he showed up at the house and was very upset with the media, or pavarazzi as he called them. That would be the opera singing photographers. |
| 5:51
| Should Steve fire up the mailbag from this guy who's a friend of Stacy Peterson? |
| 5:52
| Drew Peterson's brother Paul, no relation to the guy on Donna Reed, won a trip with Steve and Garry to Hawaii when they were on The Loop. |
| 5:53
| Paul and his ex-wife took a picture of themselves in grass shirts-probably skirts- and the wife had a coconut bra on. Steve's a sucker for those. |
| 5:54
| Paul was a photographer so he might have had an advantage over everyone else. Steve recalls trying to compensate for that by going for the idea of the photo. |
| 5:55
| Then Steve got another email from a long time listener, thankful for the podcast. We are having problems with the podcast, mainly the iTunes side of it. We're working on the problem but there are also instructions on how to fix it on your own on yesterday's blog. |
| 5:56
| If that doesn't work then it's probably a user error. It's interesting when you deal with people in this realm because they never think it's their own fault. |
| 5:57
| Steve got one email from a guy in Florida who was really angry because it was almost 4:00 AM his time and he didn't have yesterday's podcast yet. First of all, he's in Florida. Steve didn't tell him to move there. It's a godforsaken hole. |
| 5:58
| Anyway back to the longtime fan. He's the dude who Stacy Peterson sent the now infamous email to last month. He dated her older sister Tina who died of cancer. You'll recall that Drew Peterson said it was Stacy's sisters death, along with her menstrual cycle, that sent her into a tailspin. |
| 5:59
| Drew Peterson claims the email is fabricated, which really irritated this guy. Steve and Buzz are right in the middle of this thing! |
| 6:00
| This is the email that Drew claims contains vocabulary that Stacy wouldn't use. So far it's not that impressive. The biggest word has been "excluded". |
| 6:01
| The email doesn't sound that damming to Drew. It sounds like Stacy was trying to work it out and she said their relationship was only "somewhat" abusive. |
| 6:02
| Steve does have Stacy's email, which is good to have in case she resurfaces. He was thinking of emailing her anyway. She could become a new fan. Maybe she is a fan and Drew turned her on to him. Policemen like the show. |
| 6:03
| So those were some bizarre things that came into Steve yesterday. |
| 6:04
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 6:05
| OJ's going to trial, which he expected. |
| 6:06
| It turns out bomb materials are easy to get past airport screeners. A GAO report describes how agents purchased bomb-making components and snuck them onto planes. |
| 6:07
| When Steve flew to Vegas over the weekend he checked is bag but Mike and Matt had carry-ons. Matt apparently wasn't aware of the rule about 3 ounces of liquid so his bag got flagged. They pulled out a huge tube of toothpaste and a jar of Vaseline, it was like Spinal Tap. |
| 6:08
| Steve got pulled aside by some kid in a maroon vest and had his ID checked. There's no question that the person in Steve's ID is actually him but this kid took his time making sure. |
| 6:09
| Then the TSA people were just sitting there hanging out, having a party. Steve's unloading all this stuff, taking his shoes off and then one of the guys yells to the other guys "that's what happens when you smoke crack." |
| 6:10
| Then Steve reads this thing about the explosives getting through airport security. |
| 6:11
| Good news for Ricky Williams, he's been reinstated. That could mess up the Dolphins winless season. Buzz is sort of hoping that they go winless in the same year the Patriots win every game. |
| 6:12
| Williams hasn't played since 2005 when he was suspended for violating the league's drug policy. Miami is a great place to be if you're a pothead because you can get it from three different places. |
| 6:13
| Florida state representative Bob Allen was convicted of soliciting sex from an undercover cop in a bathroom. He offered the officer $20 to perform oral sex on him. That seems sort of backwards to Steve. |
| 6:14
| Northwestern has been named the nation's most vegetarian-friendly university. They won praise for offering vegan pancakes and chicken-free nuggets. What other kind of pancakes are there? |
| 6:15
| Buzz wants to know what chicken-free nuggets are. There are things that they try to make taste like chicken. If you get to that point, why not just eat chicken? There are about a billion people eating chicken, you're not sparing any lives by eating chicken-free nuggets. |
| 6:16
| The moment of silence in Illinois schools is almost at it's end. Steve can't believe people still care about this. Imagine how much Rob Sherman's kids don't fit in. |
| 6:17
| Sherman filed a lawsuit on behalf of his 14-year old daughter. It's super-easy being a 14-year old girl as everyone knows. |
| 6:18
| From Australia, some aspiring Santa's are dealing with new instructions that are being dubbed "nonsense". Trainees at a Santa Claus course were instructed not to use the phrase "ho ho ho" because it might be offensive to women. Instead they are to say "ha ha ha" so Santa is laughing at you. |
| 6:24
| Steve still has an open mailbag but he better close it up right? Steve has a lot of stuff in there though. |
| 6:25
| Steve's concerned about our own Ed Silha actually. Steve recently hired Adam from WCKG. He likes to pit the computer guys against each other, it's like dogfighting. |
| 6:26
| Yesterday Ed came up with a picture of a fake coffee mug for Jack FM and he posted it on Dahl.com. Then people emailed Steve saying they'd like to buy one. |
| 6:27
| Ed came up with some prices on the mugs and they were about $8-$9 a piece. Where's Steve's profits?! Show business! |
| 6:28
| Steve sent a group email out and included Adam on it. Then Adam wrote back saying he'd check with his vendors. Of course that sent Ed off and he wrote back "fine, whatever!" |
| 6:29
| Ed's on the phone right now but first Steve has one complaint email to read. It's not really a complaint but a listener is getting the Thought for the Day and podcast info emails on his cellphone, via text. He's not sure if they imported his phone number from a text-to-win contest. They're all getting broken up into 5 text messages so he's being charged for every one. He can't unsubscribe. |
| 6:30
| The guy couldn't be nicer about it and Steve sent it on to Ed. Ed replied that we didn't import any phone numbers from the text-to-win contests and that the guy must have sent an email to Steve at some point and, not realizing the repercussions, been subscribed to the list. Ed uses a lot of incendiary language. |
| 6:31
| Ed feels there's more to that letter that Steve needs to read. Ed told the guy that he could unsubscribe his cellphone from the list, he just needed his number. |
| 6:32
| Adam's dealing with all that promotion stuff now so Ed doesn't have to worry about it. At some point Ed and Adam copy Steve on too many emails though. They just need to deal with it themselves and then tell Steve how much profit he's making on the mugs. |
| 6:33
| Buzz collects mugs so he'd love to see what this one looks like. If they cost Steve $8-$9 a piece Buzz will be buying one for himself. Buzz got a great moose mug in Lake Geneva and he rotates the mugs each day when he has coffee. |
| 6:34
| Steve has a lot of mugs but he wouldn't say he has a collection. Buzz has about 10 mugs from various places he's been to, it's a very select group. |
| 6:35
| Buzz loves the Steve Dahl Show mug, it would be part of his rotation. That's courtesy of Ed, our own former pornographer. |
| 6:36
| Steve likes to point out the incendiary words that Ed uses because he might not even realize what he's doing. Ed's incendiary language to a former web guy resulted in him quitting. Steve never heard from him again. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! |
| 6:37
| How's everything else going with Ed? The suns coming up which is good. Steve can't see that from the studio though. Eddie & JoBo or WBBM-AM's people probably have the best view of that. |
| 6:38
| Steve actually saw Eddie & JoBo yesterday. They weren't in walkers but they are very old. Steve can't really describe what they look like. It's sort the look Jim Peterik has with the alligator boots and the jeans and the frosted hair. |
| 6:39
| Steve's going to let Ed go. He just realized that Ed has frosted hair as well so at some point that's going to impede Steve making fun of them. |
| 6:40
| Eddie and JoBo are nice guys though. They seem a little jealous that Todd Cavanah's hanging out with Steve more than them. JoBo did his Todd Cavanah impersonation for Steve. |
| 6:41
| JoBo was doing a voice but it didn't really sound like Todd. Todd doesn't have a really distinctive voice so Steve's better off just making fun of what he's wearing. |
| 6:42
| Eddie and JoBo can't do that though because what they're wearing is worse. They might go to bed dressed like that. |
| 6:43
| It was just funny to see those guys because it felt like Steve was on the country fair tour circuit. They're dressed like classic rock guys. It made Steve realize that he and Buzz have to change their look! |
| 6:44
| The thing Buzz enjoys about being on in the mornings is it doesn't really matter how he's dressed. By the way Buzz, we've been meaning to talk to you about that. |
| 6:45
| Eddie and JoBo are nice guys but it's just funny to see how hard they're trying to look younger. JoBo does refer to himself as JoBo though. It's like Buzz calling himself BuKi. Steve would be SteDa. |
| 6:46
| They're nice guys though but coming off the elevator it was like Steve was in a movie or something. Then he runs into Ramblin' Ray and Lisa Dent. |
| 6:47
| Lisa was telling Steve about her kids, she said she had the 6-year old in bed. Steve said that's too young but she meant her son. |
| 6:48
| Steve also saw Kathy of Eric & Kathy in the elevator. She was definitely digging him. She even said she'd rather stay with Steve but she had to go to Eric. |
| 6:49
| Steve does like to pit the nerds against each other. Jim kid was involved in some of those emails yesterday as well. |
| 6:50
| Steve calls down to the newsroom but Jim doesn't answer the phone properly. That's how he's going to answer the phone? Let's try that again. It has to be weather center or traffic center or newsroom so it seems like there's something else going on down there other than a place to store Buzz's turkey sandwich. |
| 6:51
| Alright, Jim's down in the news center. He was involved in some podcast emails yesterday as well as back when the show first started on Jack. As in last week? To Steve it feels like we've been here for a while. Jim feels like the time has flown by but it seems like it was a while ago that we started. He's coming down on both sides here, he needs to make a decision. Let's try this again. |
| 6:52
| Jim's down in the traffic center. It does feel like we've been here for a while. When Buzz wakes up at 4:00 AM it doesn't seem unnatural or anything. Steve actually enjoys being up that early. |
| 6:57
| Ed wanted everyone to know that he doesn't highlight his hair any more. Brendan feels that coincided with Carlos Zambrano no longer highlighting his hair. |
| 6:58
| There's a problem with the phones too which Adam came down to ask Mary about during that break. Steve isn't always told about everything by Mary or Brendan but now he knows about it. |
| 6:59
| Now Steve knows that the phones aren't working he's dying to talk to someone. There's no need to tell Steve until he asks about it. If he asked why he wasn't getting any calls, then you tell him what's wrong. |
| 7:00
| And at that point Steve's just relieved that the reason he's not getting calls is because the phones aren't working. Mary turns it into a positive saying that the phone system probably collapsed because of how many people were calling. |

| 7:02
| Alright time for the web poll question of the day which is "What is your favorite kind of pie?" |
| 7:03
| Buzz loves cherry pie. Didn't he once pop the top on a pie and count the cherries in there? It was a few years ago, at Thanksgiving. Aimee got a pie at Baker's Square and Buzz felt there weren't enough cherries on there. |
| 7:04
| In fairness to Baker's Square that was during the cherry shortage from a few years ago. They were trying to keep the price down by having less cherries in there. Steve feels their pies aren't enough money anyway. A pie should be at least $10. |
| 7:05
| In Vegas over the weekend Steve took the boys to Joe's Stone Crab for dinner. He got two slices of Key Lime to bring back to his hotel room but left them in the limo. He was so close and yet so far away! |
| 7:06
| Steve ended up going back to the hotel room and watching Superbad, which was pretty funny. Yesterday he watched Knocked Up in the afternoon which was also funny. |
| 7:07
| There was a little too much baby stuff in Knocked Up but it killed over two hours. He got the unrated, HD version on Comcast which was pretty good. |
| 7:08
| Buzz went to see Bee Movie yesterday. He sees all the animated movies because he has a kid. Buzz can't think of any animated movie that Piper doesn't like. |
| 7:09
| For Buzz though, it was hard for him to not think about Jerry Seinfeld as the bee character. He couldn't get that out of his head. The movie also wasn't very funny. That's Jerry Seinfeld! |
| 7:10
| Buzz has see Seinfeld's stand-up and in his scatterbrained approach to comedy he occasionally hits a nerve. Buzz laughed twice in the movie though. |
| 7:11
| Is that a Disney movie? They're really the only ones who should be doing animated movies. Steve sort of figured it sucked since Jerry was promoting it so much. That's why you don't see this show promoted. |
| 7:12
| The web poll ties in with a news story and today's is about a pie auction raising money for seniors. Steve just likes saying the word pie. |
| 7:13
| The Kane County Senior Services pie auction will raise money for seniors. There's nothing like a senior pie. |
| 7:14
| One of the pies you can buy is an egg nog pumpkin. Why do they have to mess with the pumpkin pie? Maybe a chiffon pumpkin but that's it. |
| 7:15
| This is egg nog season isn't it Pete? That's where he goes down to the gas station to buy egg nog as part of the worst life ever. There was no egg nog at the gas station yet. |
| 7:16
| Steve suggests Pete try a grocery store or Peapod for his groceries. It's cheaper for one thing. He can't justify buying a car but he'll spend $8 on egg nog at a gas station? Pete actually prefers the gas station egg nog. |
| 7:17
| Pete needs to go back and listen to what he just said again because it's not right. Steve thinks he likes egg nog but it gives him heartburn. |
| 7:18
| Pete's going to wait until he gets in the full Christmas spirit before he has any egg nog. He'll put his tree up and then pour himself a glass of nog. That's the tree he decorates with human flesh right? |
| 7:19
| There's some new, funny-looking guy on TV right now. It's Stacy Peterson's uncle but he looks like Steven Wright, or Michael Richards. He also has a Kinky Friedman thing going with the mustache. |
| 7:20
| The guy is doing the Steven Wright deadpan though. Meredith Viera must be loving it. |
| 7:21
| It's a good thing Drew Peterson went on the Today's Show to quell the media scrutiny. Now they're talking to any slack-jawed idiot with a connection to the case. |
| 7:22
| He sort of has an early Jimmy Buffett feel to him too. Maybe her uncle's a Parrothead too. |
| 7:23
| Steve does have Stacy's email but he's afraid to send her an email. He'll probably have the FBI at his house. |
| 7:24
| Buzz thinks Steve should read the email again. Maybe he could print it out so it's always at the ready, like some sort of On Demand service. |
| 7:25
| And then Steve found out that Drew's brother was on a Hawaii trip. That's the same guy who said he's tired of the pavarazzi hounding the family. Those would be the opera-singing photographers. |
| 7:30
| OK back to the pie story. The pie auction could mean heating someone's house, or money for a motorcoach trip. How do you heat a house with a pie? |
| 7:31
| If you can get enough money together for a motorcoach trip Steve's not baking or donating a pie for this thing. |
| 7:32
| Can't they just make normal pies for this thing? Caramel banana pie?! |
| 7:33
| This year's auction will be a held a week before Thanksgiving. That must mean today right? Is Buzz interested in heading out to Aurora after the show? |
| 7:34
| The purpose of the auction is to help seniors maintain their independent lives. They're going to have to raise a lot of money for that. How much can a pie cost? They're like $6 at Baker's Square. |
| 7:35
| The auction starts at 6:00 PM tonight with appetizers beforehand. Can't they just have regular pies? |
| 7:36
| People are probably trying to call in about this but the phones are broke and Steve doesn't know why. They were working fine yesterday. |
| 7:37
| If we really wanted to we could call listeners though. We could cold call them and see if they're listening. You can't put people on the air without telling them though. |

| 7:39
| The Kilman's family's next outing will be to Gene & Georgetti, Buzz wants to get Piper into a steakhouse. |
| 7:40
| That's a pretty hardcore steakhouse to start Piper on. Steve's never seen a kid there, not that they're not welcome. Piper likes the spaghetti sauce and everyone at the restaurant knows her. |
| 7:41
| Aimee brings Piper in when she picks up the weekly spaghetti sauce and apparently she's very entertaining. Buzz was filled in on all of that when he stopped in for the sauce last week. |
| 7:42
| Steve sees Tony from Gene & Georgetti all the time at the gym. He always asks him how to get out of this free sauce thing. |
| 7:43
| Steve told him that it'll never end. Buzz will come in to get that sauce until he dies. |
| 7:44
| OK Steve has some info about how much Baker's Square pies cost. Steve wouldn't mind having them as an advertiser during the holidays. Buzz is probably open to a cherry pie recount. |
| 7:45
| Most of the pies cost $8.39 which isn't enough. A slice of pie should cost $8.39! |
| 7:50
| That's a drop from that Pushing Daisies show. Steve hasn't seen it but Janet tried to trick him into watching it last night. |
| 7:51
| Janet was in the back room watching it while Steve watched the Blackhawks. She said Amy Sedaris was on it but she wasn't. Steve didn't like it though, it seems like a girl show. That's probably why Pete likes it. |
| 7:52
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 7:53
| Dozens of members of a Russian doomsday cult have barricaded themselves in a cave. Their leader sleeps in a coffin. They're threatening to blow themselves up by exploding a gasoline tank. |
| 7:54
| Drew Peterson's Today Show appearance is getting reaction from Stacy Peterson's friend, who says he was only on TV to get free legal aid. |
| 7:55
| Matt Damon was named the Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine. Where was Steve on that list? #2? #3? Buzz only has the top three which are Damon, George Clooney and Brad Pitt. |
| 7:56
| The Brookfield Zoo is asking President Bush for help. The zoo president is asking Bush to designate polar bears as an endangered species. |
| 7:57
| WIth the ice caps melting there are a lot of great photos of polar bears riding chunks of floating ice. |
| 7:58
| We've given away most of the tickets for the Dahlfins show on Saturday but Bob and Ron will be at Duke O'Brien's in Crystal Lake tonight from 7:00-9:00 giving away tickets. |
| 7:59
| Tomorrow our own Brendan Greeley will be at Skore's in Harwood Heights giving away tickets. Harwood Heights sounds like a cartoon town, where Hardy Har Har lives. |

| 8:01
| Alright let's say hi to Pat Boyle. As predicted yesterday Rex will start on Sunday. Who knows about the following week though. |
| 8:02
| It seems like they have no plan whatsoever up at Halas Hall though. That's probably because they don't have a good quarterback. They might have one in Orton but we don't know. If you put Rex and Griese together you'd have a mediocre QB. |
| 8:03
| Buzz feels that someone in the front office wanted to put Rex in, just based on that great pass alone. |
| 8:04
| It seems like Rex has a different attitude, maybe the time off did him good. Steve would love for Rex to play well and be the Bears QB for the next 10 years. |
| 8:05
| The players were told that Rex was going to start yesterday morning but they were all acting like they didn't know about it. |
| 8:06
| Steve has noticed that Peggy Kusinski manages to get herself into a lot of lockerroom shots. |
| 8:07
| There was also some great footage of Brian Griese arguing with Ron Turner. Steve assumes he was pleading his case to start. Turner's probably just trying to keep his own job. |
| 8:08
| Will we even see Brian Griese again? Pat didn't think we'd see Rex again but here we are. |
| 8:09
| Grossman really has to be ready to play on Sunday though. The Seahawks are in first place and they played really well on Monday. That home field advantage they have is something else. |
| 8:10
| Urlacher's not talking to the media in Chicago but he's did a three page interview with someone out in Seattle. |
| 8:11
| Steve's not entirely sure why Urlacher's mad at the media though. He's a millionaire and he knocked some chick up, people are going to be interested in that. Since the beginning of time people have been interested in that. Look at Henry VII!. |
| 8:12
| Pat thought the Sun-Times took things a little too far last season. They had three in-depth stories on it in a three week span. |
| 8:13
| The Sun-Times always takes things too far but what can you do? Can't they kick people out of Halas Hall? They kicked Spike Manton out once. |
| 8:14
| Maybe Brian would be willing to talk to Steve and Buzz. He was on this show once, before Chef Hans bumped him to talk to the Bears trainer. |
| 8:15
| Steve has some suggestions for Brian Urlacher. He has a great place for him to exchange the kid with the ex and he'll work with him to find a condom that best suits him. He's going to need to find a hotter chick than the one he knocked up. How is she getting that much action? |
| 8:16
| That girl isn't hot enough for Steve to not wear a condom. Sometimes the girl is hot enough where you don't want any sort of delay in which the window of opportunity shuts. That woman he knocked up is the type where you go out to get condoms, get some lunch and then come back. |
| 8:17
| Pat would take one word answers from Urlacher if they were questions from Steve. Steve could probably just take the answers, put him on the machine and then ask his own questions. |
| 8:18
| Steve watched the Hawks game last night, that was pretty disappointing. There was a good fight early on though. One of the Blue Jackets ran into the Hawks goalie. |
| 8:19
| Then some guy on the Hawks beat the daylights out of the guy. Steve thought that guy on the Hawks was black but Pat doesn't think so. He could be Samoan or something. Either way he's about 250 pounds and he beat the hell out of this guy. |
| 8:20
| One of the things that got Steve watching the games were the commercials they're airing on Comcast. They're all just sitting in the lockerroom, out of uniform which looks funny. |
| 8:21
| Pat has one more audio cut, it's OJ's attorney setting the stage for his upcoming trial. |
| 8:22
| OJ believes he's innocent and believes in the jury system. Of course he does. If there's anyone in the world who believes in the jury system it's OJ. |
| 8:23
| Is Steve the only one who wouldn't mind Ricky Williams being a Bear? Pat thought we already have one lethargic, disinterested running back from Texas, do we need another one? |
| 8:24
| Steve feels Ricky WIlliams is more handsome and he wears the dreadlocks better than Benson. |
| 8:25
| On Bears Blitz Dan Jiggetts had some video of Cedric Benson in college. He looked thinner and more agile. Both Dan and Pat said they would have drafted him based on that video. |
| 8:30
| Rex sounds like he's going to a sports shrink. It sounds like he has the attitude he should have though. |

| 8:32
| Buzz would like to hear the pavarazzi cut from Drew Peterson's brother. Steve wants to hear the Rob Elgas cut where he's acting like a flight attendant. |
| 8:33
| Buzz likes Paul Peterson's appeal to the President and Congress about stopping the pavarazzi. You would think he'd just go out there and say his brother's life is a train wreck but instead he blames someone else. |
| 8:34
| Yesterday a letter came out from Kathleen Savio, Peterson's third wife. She was writing to a Will County Assistant States Attorney. |
| 8:35
| Savio tried to reach Elizabeth Fragale three separate times regarding files she charged against Peterson. |
| 8:36
| When Savio learned Peterson was having an affair with a minor at the police department he began to get violent. |
| 8:37
| Buzz feels that at the time of this letter Savio might have been vindictive since she'd found out about the affair. So now Buzz is coming down on the side of Peterson? |
| 8:38
| On July 5th Peterson got into Savio's house using a garage door opener he had programmed himself. He popped out and scared her, in full SWAT gear with a police radio in his ear. SWAT? Sexy! |
| 8:39
| Steve can't imagine they have a lot of SWAT activity in Bolingbrook but who knows. |
| 8:40
| As she was coming down the stairs Drew pulled her down and ordered her to sit on the third step. That's your business step where stuff gets done. |
| 8:41
| Peterson was upset at Savio because the judge in their divorce trial ordered him to pay child support. That's pretty standard in a divorce when kids are involved. |
| 8:42
| One summer Drew and Stacy rollerbladed past Kathleen's house. In another incident Stacy flipped Kathleen the bird when she was in a car with her kids. |
| 8:43
| Buzz is just glad to see that Peterson was rollerblading even at his age. |
| 8:44
| There are a lot of spelling errors in this thing. It seems like she spell checked it but then let the spell checker change the words to whatever it wanted to. |
| 8:45
| Buzz imagines it's pretty tough in a situation like this, where the ex-husband is a cop. |
| 8:46
| Kathleen feared that her ex-husband would be able to manipulate the system and take her children away or kill her. |
| 8:47
| The autopsy results for Kathleen Savio should be available in about oh...6 weeks. |
| 8:48
| Steve thought there was some sort of initial ruling on her. The good news is that Peterson's appearance on the Today's Show should keep the pavarazzi away. |
| 8:56
| Buzz feels that if Drew Peterson's plea for a lawyer on the Today's Show doesn't work, Jimmy Buffett may step up, get the Parrothead community together, and throw a benefit for him. |
| 8:57
| The whole thing seems very loose to Steve. It seems loose with the third wife too. If Steve or Buzz's wife was found like that it probably wouldn't be a slam-dunk no problem like it was for Drew. |

| Steve would just like to say to all those people trying to call the show today, we're not ignoring you. The phones are down and Steve's pretty sure it's for al 591 numbers. |
| 9:00
| Steve feels the system crashed because we're on in mornings. So many people called in and the system crashed. In general there are more people listening in the mornings and when you add Steve's normally high volume of callers the system is going to crash. That's Steve's story if Buzz is OK with it. |
| 9:01
| Ben Gay is here with some sports. It's very chilly out which is why Ben's wearing his long underwear. Buzz can't see it under his sable coat though. |
| 9:02
| Ben is just wearing your basic pair of long johns with the trapdoor on the back. As you can imagine that really comes in handy for so many things. |
| 9:03
| Ben's going to leave his jacket on because it's quite chilly in the studio. Buzz's fat little friend likes to keep things very cold in the studio, you could hang meat in here. And Ben would be happy to hang some meat. |
| 9:04
| Lovie Smith announced yesterday that Rex Grossman will start at QB for the Bears on Sunday in Seattle. |
| 9:05
| The Bulls kick off their annual circus road trip in Phoenix tonight. The Bulls aren't in the circus though, the circus comes to the United Center. |
| 9:06
| The Blackhawks had their three-game winning streak snapped, like a towel on Ben's bottom, with a 4-1 loss to Columbus last night. |
| 9:07
| Work continues on the field at Wrigley Field. The playing surface will be lowered 14 inches and the crown will be removed in favor of a modern drainage system. |
| 9:08
| Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he deserved the reprimand he got from the NBA for comments he made after a loss to the Spurs. Jackson referenced Brokeback Mountain in an attempt to describe how the game went. |
| 9:09
| Ben can't tell Buzz what Phil Jackson said though. He got in trouble for a reason. To sum it up he said that the Spurs had their way with the Lakers. |
| 9:10
| Ben could tell Buzz about it off the air but whenever he talks like that to him he gets nervous and a little excited. |
| 9:11
| Lance Armstrong's daughter took his new daughter, Ashley Olsen, to her Texas school for show-and-tell. |
| 9:12
| Naked pictures of Toronto Maple Leafs 19-year old rookie Jiri Tlusty appeared on the gossip site IsThisHappening.com last week. The photos reportedly leave little to the imagination. |
| 9:13
| It seems like Ben would have seen these already and would know if they actually leave little to the imagination. He'll have to work that out conceptually with Brendan. |
| 9:14
| Brendan didn't even get the sports to Ben until 9:00 AM today. It's not like he has anything to do today, the phones aren't working. |
| 9:22
| Ben was unable to find the photos of Jiri Tlusty. Tlusty the lusty! We're trying to reach him for comment though. |
| 9:23
| Alright we've found the photos now. He's taking pictures of his weiner with a cellphone. There are other pictures of him partying with other dudes. |
| 9:24
| Ben has to admit that Tlusty sent the photos of his weiner to him. They were taken at Ben's behest. |
| 9:25
| Tlusty's lawyer said his client took the photos himself and they are copyrighted by him. |
| 9:26
| He's got a copyright on his weiner, who doesn't? Ben's is trademarked. He's got some markings on his, that's all he can say right now. |
| 9:27
| He took the photos on his cellphone so he must have sent them to someone, otherwise how did they get out? |
| 9:28
| This whole story is very complicated and Ben really doesn't know what to make of it. It's not even in this country. Maybe if it was a Blackhawk it would be different. |
| 9:29
| Alright that's the sports. Ben would like to have something else to tell us but he doesn't. |
| 9:30
| What did Steve miss while he was out? There were porn pictures and gay talk. When Steve came back Ben was yelling at Brendan and told him to sit on the third stair, whatever that means. |

| 9:32
| David from The Little Guys is on the phone, he's excited to have Steve out at the store. He doesn't sound excited. |
| 9:33
| David's acting like we called him. He called us though. David interrupted his workout to call in and he was glad to. |
| 9:34
| This just in, the Cook County Sheriff's department has confirmed that two bodies have been found in unincorporated Lemont, near the DuPage county line. |
| 9:35
| The victims appear to be a women and a child according to unconfirmed sources. There's no kid missing though that Steve's aware of. |
| 9:36
| Steve's not saying that Drew Peterson or Craig Stebic are guilty, but if they are wouldn't it be crazy if they got together and hid the bodies in the same place? |
| 9:37
| OK so back to David. Steve will be out at The Little Guys on Saturday from 11:00 to 12:30 for an in-store demo of the new Sony home theater server. |
| 9:38
| The server can hold music, movies, it can record Blu-Ray DVD discs off your home videos. It's really sweet. |
| 9:39
| David usually brings donuts in from Dunkin' on Saturdays so Steve will be able to enjoy that. They're usually Munchkins unless Steve wants something else. |
| 9:40
| There's also a lunch brought in on Saturdays if Steve can stick around from that. Sometimes they get food from the Chinese place nearby. |
| 9:41
| Steve's been to that place, it's great. They have the best egg rolls that Steve's aware of in the area. |
| 9:50
| Steve feels that the woman who asked John McCain "how do we beat the bitch?", in reference to Hillary Clinton, is a plant. |
| 9:51
| McCain's coming under some heat for not telling the woman that was an inappropriate comment. |
| 9:52
| But the people who really don't like Hillary, and would vote for McCain, are going to like what that woman said. |
| 9:53
| Steve wants to know who the guy is who said "I thought she was talking about my ex-wife." Then everyone starts laughing. |
| 9:54
| It sounds like being a Republican is fun. They're such a mixed bag though. They have fun but then campaign against it. |
| 9:55
| It seems like they like to have fun behind closed doors, like the dudes going into men's bathrooms. |

| Steve has one final email he'd like to read but he's not sure if that requires opening the mailbag. We never closed the mailbag anyway. |
| 9:58
| The other day Steve did his rant about cleaning birds that are covered in oil. What's the point, they're just birds! |
| 9:59
| Then a listener sent Steve a break-up letter because she wasn't happy with what he said. She's sent Steve break-up letters before and she's still writing him so there was no break-up. |
| 10:00
| In the first email this week the woman couldn't have been nicer but this one starts off "are you really that stupid that you think birds do not experience pain or have no feelings?" |
| 10:01
| Steve imagines that birds feel pain but he doesn't think they have emotional feelings. It's not like they're sitting there, covered in oil, thinking "oh my God, what about my kids! And I just paid off the nest!" |
| 10:02
| After Steve's babbling about the birds it's clear to this listener why Steve couldn't finish high school. |
| 10:03
| Steve doesn't think this is the last he's heard from this woman. She's probably still listening right now. |
| 10:04
| Maybe they should take those oil-covered birds and put them in the oven. That could be some new tasty treat. |
