| 5:31
| Well there ya go, Eddie Money. We rocked the house with him a couple of weeks ago at the Cubby Bear North. He was up there for the big Jack After Dark show, whatever that means. |
| 5:32
| Try to confine your Jacking to after dark if you can Buzz, that's the best time for it. Actually do it all day. |
| 5:33
| Steve has an issue he has to deal with, standby Buzz. He's calling down to the Jack studio, we'll see who's there. It's not Jack, he doesn't come in until later. |
| 5:34
| Kevin is down in the Jack studios, right below Steve. Steve could drill a hole in the floor and Kevin could look up his skirt. |
| 5:35
| According to what Steve has in front of him All She Wants to do is Dance but that ended at 5:27. Then there was a brief silence and then Baby Hold On. |
| 5:36
| Based on what Kevin has the last song was supposed to be Baby Hold On. He knew Steve wouldn't want to come on early. |
| 5:37
| The only thing Steve cares about is what happens at 5:31 and 10:00. Kevin will be out of here by 10:00, fast asleep. |
| 5:38
| Penny from Jack FM comes in to relieve him at 6:00, she's the best producer Jack has. Is Kevin the worst producer Jack has if he's only working 3 days a week? |
| 5:39
| Kevin has another job, he runs the All States Sports league. It's a sports league for guys who want to keep track of their own stats. It's like fantasy but for yourself. |
| 5:40
| That sounds kind of creepy. Why do guys want to keep their own stats? Is that something you get laid off of? "Hey baby, look at my slugging percentage with men on base!" |
| 5:41
| Kevin makes money off the league so he's not just doing it for love of the game. He's only doing the radio thing because he loves radio. |
| 5:42
| So in the future if Kevin could put that extra song before the song that's supposed to be the last one on the sheet. Steve likes to see that last song ending at 5:30. Everything is predicated on that. |
| 5:43
| Someone must be doing the math wrong. Steve has a list in front of him and there are fill songs, all Kevin needs to do is put those fill-in songs before the last song. |
| 5:44
| Buzz doesn't think it's Kevin's fault, it's whoever put the list together. So now he's coming down on the side of board-ops? |
| 5:45
| Steve could blame Todd Cavanah but that does him no good. It's better to blame the kid he doesn't really know. Plus Steve's not really mad, he's just trying to do a comedy bit. |
| 5:46
| Steve saw Jim kid when he came in today and he looked like he'd just been chased by a mugger. Buzz feels that's entirely possible. |
| 5:47
| Does Jim get where Steve's coming from with the last song? He was in the studio when there was dead air and it was a little jarring. Did that kid seem like a tool though? Jim thought he might have been nervous talking to Steve. In situations like that Steve feels it's best to just roll over, like a dog. The kid kept trying to get back up though, forcing Steve to put his jaws on his throat. |
| 5:48
| Jim was running late and it was cold out so he wanted to get inside quickly. Steve saw him though and he had a big puffy coat on. Jim's legs were cold, he'll need to layer up in the future. Was he wearing shorts or something? |
| 5:49
| Jim knows it's cold out because he's down in the weather center, tracking storms. It's currently 24º out. Steve's going to recommend that Jim layers up or even better, get a car! |
| 5:50
| Jim has a car but he enjoys taking the "L". There have been many a day when Steve wants to take the "L" and commune with the sleeping homeless guys. |
| 5:51
| There aren't any homeless guys on the Blue Line. They must prefer Pete and the Red Line. There's probably less stops on there right? |
| 5:52
| How's Pete's perculator doing? Steve likes to say perculator instead of percolator because every time he does he gets a ton of emails from people correcting him, including Mark Czerniec. |
| 5:53
| Steve actually likes walking by Pete's studio and seeing the percolator in there. Maybe he and Buzz should come in early, have some coffee and discuss the day's events with Pete. |
| 6:00
| During that last break Mary was texted by Janet, who should be asleep. The text said "Steve is the meanest man ever, tell him I said that." |
| 6:01
| Steve wasn't trying to be mean to that kid. It had the feel of a Wendy Snyder segment. Steve was just trying to be funny and it went horribly wrong. |
| 6:02
| Steve will always make fun of grown men who want to keep stats for themselves. One of our own sponsors, David Wexler of The Little Guys, also likes to keep his own stats. He goes to a Cubs fantasy camp every year! |
| 6:03
| Buzz didn't think Kevin went victim on Steve though. The overriding factor is he does make money keeping stats for grown men. Plus he got to plug his website. That's like $1,000 in free advertising. |
| 6:04
| The biggest issue is that no one up here can see the computer screen down in the Jack studio so we don't know what's happening down there. If someone's going to change that song then they should tell someone up here. Steve hardly feels that makes him the meanest man ever. What about Hitler or Idi Amin? |
| 6:05
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 6:06
| Home run king Barry Bonds has been indicted by a federal grand jury in San Francisco. He's been charged with 4 counts of perjury and 1 count of obstruction of justice |
| 6:07
| Health officials are warming of a new killer strain of the common cold. If you should run into it, it's called Adenovirus-14. Will it introduce itself that way? |
| 6:08
| Buzz hasn't gotten his flu shot yet but he will eventually. He can go right to Dominick's, apparently they give out all kinds of shots in the pharmacy. |
| 6:09
| Maybe the family will make a day of it, Piper loves shopping. Buzz hasn't been with her in a while so he's not sure if she's too big to fit in the shopping cart seat. They also make shopping carts just for kids that look like a car. They should make those for adults. |
| 6:10
| Drew Peterson will receive his full retirement benefit of $72,000 a year. $72,000! How much would he normally make?! That must be about 80% of his normal salary. |
| 6:11
| If Peterson is found guilty does he still get the pension? From what Buzz read, the only reason he wouldn't get the pension is if he committed a felony on the job. But if you're doing it in your spare time it doesn't matter. |
| 6:12
| Peterson's second wife says her life was threatened by her husband during their 10 year marriage. She says he once told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident. |
| 6:13
| There's a nice photo of Drew Peterson on the front of the Tribune, on his bike. Steve can't tell what kind of bike it is though. He's not a bike expert any more. |
| 6:14
| The phones are actually working today but they weren't yesterday. Buzz didn't even find out about that until after 7:00 but he's glad he didn't know earlier. He felt he would have panicked. That's one of those things where Steve and Buzz are better off not knowing something. They accidentally found out because Adam went into fix-it mode. He learned a valuable lesson yesterday though, with Steve ignorance really is bliss. |
| 6:15
| Caller Steve heard on WBBM-AM today that Drew Peterson was making $90,000 a year when he retired. So that's about 80%. We're going to find out that Steve's right about something else too. |
| 6:16
| Caller Bill wanted to let Steve know that Drew Peterson is driving a Harley Roadster. Don't they call that a Skirtster? |
| 6:17
| Didn't Buzz want one of those a while ago? Buzz did a gig at a Harley dealer and he was checking out the bikes. |
| 6:18
| He really liked the look of the Roadster but the guy at the dealership said it was a girl's bike. Steve likes the look of that bike too. But then we got a call from a guy who said he got a Roadster from his wife but had to sell it once he found out it was a chick bike. |
| 6:23
| It seems like if you committed a heinous felony, even in your free time, you shouldn't get your retirement pension. |
| 6:24
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 6:25
| Steve will be at The Little Guys tomorrow from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM for a demo of the new Sony HES-V1000. He's hoping to make inroads with the Sony guys and become a test pilot for them. |
| 6:26
| Buzz was right about that pension though, the felony has to be committed while on duty. That's very loose. That's also cops setting up a pension fund for other cops. |
| 6:27
| If all that stuff in the letter from the third wife is true, that would be a felony. She said he broke into her house in SWAT gear. Of course they can't prove anything because she's dead. |
| 6:28
| Buzz is wondering who Peterson's first wife is since we've now heard from the second wife. |
| 6:29
| In the Tribune online in the In the Burbs section, the Dahlfins show is listed as the #2 thing to do in the suburbs, behind Wynonna on Ice. Steve and Buzz saw a very bizarre commercial for that event last week. It's Wynonna singing and a bunch of little skater fellars skating to the music. Wynonna can't get on the ice herself, she'd crack it. |
| 6:30
| From the Tribune "Every actor wants to direct and every radio personality wants to be a ... rock star? In addition to hosting a daily talk show on WJMK-FM 104.3, and contributing a weekly column to the Tribune's At Play section, legendary radio jock Steve Dahl fronts a whimsical, tropical-flavored band." They had Steve at "legendary." That's been put next to his name a lot lately and he likes it. |
| 6:31
| Buzz once heard someone in a bar call him legendary and it was great. Although all he's doing is hosting a radio show. Buzz is sort of taking some of the luster off of this. Can't he just let Steve have legendary for now? |
| 6:32
| No one has ever called Buzz whimsical though. The Tribune says it starts at 8:30 PM but Steve put 7:00 in his blog. |
| 6:33
| Doors open at 7:00. It's just like a bar to put that so they get people in early to drink. It's the oldest trick in the book and Steve fell for it. |
| 6:34
| Prezence goes on at 10:00 so Steve figured he'd have to go on at 7:00 to be off at 9:00 so they could set up. Steve doesn't want Prezence's gear on stage with him. |
| 6:35
| Steve can just see all their gear covered in sheets like someone is paining a house. Prezence must think they're Led Zeppelin, which they can do since there is no Led Zeppelin. Would it kill someone to form a Steve Dahl cover band? Dennis Hastert's free! |
| 6:36
| Durty Nellie's is planning on turning the house so they probably start letting people in for the Prezence show at 10:00 PM. They probably don't go on until 11:30 or something. |
| 6:37
| How does Steve get booked in before a Led Zeppelin cover band? It's certainly not the fault of anyone within the Steve Dahl organization. |
| 6:38
| Tonight Brendan and the Jack Street Team will be out at Skore's in Harwood Heights giving away Dahlfins tickets. |
| 6:39
| Prezence didn't make the Chicago Tribune's list of things to do in the suburbs this week so ha ha. |
| 6:40
| Caller Matt was wondering if Steve might be running in to Wendy Snyder or Jimmy Mac this weekend. Steve was just thinking about this but didn't want to say it because Janet has already accused him of being the meanest man in the world. |
| 6:41
| Prezence is a band that Mac and Wendy like to go see. Steve was thinking it would be funny if he was walking out with his amp and they were standing in line. Not that Steve carries his own amp around. |
| 6:42
| Matt was thinking they'd be at Steve's show getting primed for the Prezence show. They'd probably be heckling Steve which could rival the meanest he's ever been heckled, by his own brother. |
| 6:43
| Steve's pretty sure he's still on good terms with Wendy and Mac though. It's show business, it's nothing personal. |
| 6:44
| Buzz happens to know that Wendy and Mac won't be at the Prezence show, because of previous engagements. He thought the same thing when he heard Prezence was playing tomorrow night as well. |
| 6:45
| It's funny that Buzz is emailing them. Doesn't he ever want to know what Steve's doing on the weekends? He never gets anything from Buzz. |
| 6:46
| Matt won a gift certificate to Joe's Stone Crab. They've got those king crab legs in season now, they're like 10 feet long. |
| 6:47
| Those are the kind of crabs they're catching on Deadliest Catch. Buzz isn't familiar with that show. These guys catch crabs in the Bering Sea, between Russia and Alaska. |
| 6:48
| It doesn't seem like they make that much money considering how risky the job is. |
| 6:55
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 6:56
| Because Steve took the cash for this appearance one lucky listener will win the Sony HES-V100. |
| 6:57
| Alright today's poll question today is "Would a land based casino in Chicago cause you to stop going to the Riverboat Casinos in the area?" Choose yes or no. |
| 6:58
| Elgin, Aurora and Joliet receive millions of dollars a year in taxes and fees from riverboat gambling. Now they're worried they'll get less money if a land-based casino opens in Chicago. |
| 6:59
| Steve doesn't think that will be an issue. Look at Vegas, there are a bazillion casinos out there. It's all part of commerce and the open market. If you see a McDonald's you also see a Burger King and a Taco Bell. |
| 7:00
| Bazillion has become Steve's new crutch, he said it twice yesterday and once today already. Or maybe he should call it his catchphrase. |
| 7:01
| Caller Chuck is a trucker driver, he's sitting in the dock right now waiting for someone to load up hot dogs and polish sausage. Alright! |
| 7:02
| Chuck was at Ditka's a few weeks ago and they had king crab legs. The waitress told them that these crab legs were caught by one of the boats on Deadliest Catch. |
| 7:03
| Chuck didn't believe her but then she actually pointed out the menu which had the name of the boat. Those guys are crazy on that show. |
| 7:04
| Chuck didn't have the crab legs, he came for the pork chops. They say they're Coach's own recipe but Steve doesn't believe that. He probably can't even turn a grill on, or get to a butcher's shop. And we're supposed to believe he came up with his own pork chop glaze? |
| 7:05
| Caller Pam wanted to let Steve know that pensions aren't affected by what you do outside the job. It applies to her also and she works in corporate America. |
| 7:06
| Pam lives in Palatine. Buzz was wondering if she knew Rita Mullins. Pam tries to avoid her and she heckles her at all parades. |
| 7:07
| Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are we getting into here? Who is Rita Mullins? |
| 7:08
| Rita's an old friend of Buzz's and she's also the mayor of Palatine. Buzz knows she likes to come out to all the gigs. Pam doesn't like her as a mayor though. |
| 7:09
| Steve doesn't really care about Palatine politics. Buzz had to find the one person who doesn't like the mayor of Palatine. |
| 7:10
| Steve met Rita Mullins once at the Red Carpet club, on the way to Hawaii. She comes to a lot of the remotes too, she seemed nice. |
| 7:11
| Caller Terry found a way to plug the gap in the afternoon left by Steve's absence. Yesterday on Steve's run he was stopped by a carload of MILFs and they were all excited to see him but said they missed him in the afternoons. |
| 7:12
| Steve told them to get it together and get the podcast then put his earbuds back in and went on his way. It was quite enjoyable. |
| 7:13
| Terry listens to Jack FM for the rest of the day and also gets the podcast cranked up. He's converted his whole department to listening to the show. |
| 7:14
| Terry was wondering if there's any news about Matt Dahl. He has an agent, the same one Buzz has. Matt has made a demo so that's the latest. |
| 7:15
| Terry's like the dream listener for Steve and Buzz. Did Brendan make him ask about the Matt Dahl Show? |
| 7:16
| Matt knows that he and Brendan were doing a good show and that there were other reasons why they lost their show. |
| 7:17
| The station never really recovered from Stern leaving and Rover coming on board. The way Buzz understands it though, all indications where that the station was starting to recover. |
| 7:18
| The station was starting to recover on the strength of this show. But when Steve heard the station was losing $400,000 a month he knew it wasn't going well. Who told Buzz this though? |
| 7:19
| Drew actually told Buzz all of this in an email last night. What's Drew emailing Steve for, messing up his show? Buzz didn't know about the $400,000 a month though. |
| 7:20
| Caller Ken wanted to let Steve know that Drew Peterson's in a particularly good mood today, he just found out his next wife was born in Indiana. |
| 7:28
| Steve would like a do-over on that last segment. Buzz was right, the station was on the way up. Steve has to soldier on though, he doesn't like to look back. |
| 7:29
| Steve did find it frustrating that all of the sudden the company has found enough money to advertise Fresh FM. Plus his son lost his job and Steve and Buzz were dominating in the afternoons. |
| 7:30
| Now everyday Steve hears from people who say they have a huge void in the afternoon. Steve likes doing mornings, even though it's been a shock. He feels the show is going to do well in the mornings. |
| 7:31
| Buzz would just like to say he loves doing mornings. When he first heard about it he was shocked and he questioned his ability to get up that early and function. But now at 4:00 AM he's really happy. |
| 7:32
| There's usually two ways to go with any bit and in that case Steve picked the wrong way. He is going to have Drew blocked from any WCKG emails though. |
| 7:33
| On the phone is Jeff Joniak, the voice of the Bears. That was an exciting game on Sunday, it's always good when you get a win. |
| 7:34
| Steve missed the end of the game because he was in Vegas and had to fly home. So he watched all that stuff before it went well, which was all bad. |
| 7:35
| Steve was sitting in the ESPN Zone with a bunch of hungover guys, with his onion rings, listening to those idiot announcers, watching a bad Bears game. |
| 7:36
| Fox kept showing all these slides featuring lists of announcer JC Pearson's favorite things and BCS rankings. In the business we call that filler. |
| 7:37
| But Sunday was a happy ending so the ends justified the means. Plus we got to see the triumphant return of Rex Grossman. |
| 7:38
| Based on what Buzz has been reading this week it seems like everyone in the lockerroom is glad to have Grossman back. It seems like everyone was dissatisfied with Griese. |
| 7:39
| It seems like everyone on the team, like many fans out there, are waiting for Rex to do something great. There is a potential for greatness with him but no one is going to put up with the interceptions. |
| 7:40
| This is just a temporary solution, no one on the Bears is saying that they're sticking with Rex from here on out. |
| 7:41
| It seems like everyone on the Bears was happy for Rex. Steve certainly likes his new casual attitude this week. It seems like his new motto is "play like it's recess." |
| 7:42
| Steve would love if some sort of miracle would occur. It's certainly possible, Rex has the potential for that. |
| 7:43
| Steve heard-from an unimpeachable source that he won't reveal-that one of Rex's problems early this season was that Thomas Jones was the one who used to call the blocking coverages. |
| 7:44
| Jeff worries about that on Sunday because the Seahawks players are very rascally on the line. They're jumping around, moving their heads up and down. Plus you've got the Seattle crowd, they're very loud. Jeff doesn't understand what they're doing up there. |
| 7:45
| It was very loud in Oakland last weekend but the Bears fans were representing. You couldn't see them in the crowd but you could hear the Moose call every time he caught a pass. |
| 7:46
| Jeff's getting a rough vibe for Sunday though because Seattle scares him. Offensively they're a team that owns the clock. The Bears don't want to be in a situation where the defense is on the field for most of the game. |
| 7:47
| Jeff expects them to pass a lot though, like they did on Monday night. What kind of defense do you play against that? |
| 7:48
| Defensively the Seahawks get after you in a very subtle way. They don't have a lot of defensive superstars but they're the #2 team in the league in points allowed. |
| 7:49
| Steve is hoping that somehow, some way, Rex Grossman has it together on Sunday. |
| 7:50
| Vasher practiced a little more yesterday but Jeff's not sure if he'll be in on Sunday. Trumaine McBride really stepped up though, he's playing well. |
| 7:51
| Jeff just found out that Thanksgiving was next week, he didn't even know that. It just shows how buried in his job he is. |
| 7:52
| Live read: Allen Brothers |
| 7:53
| Buzz loves looking at catalogs and he can't stop looking through the Allen Brothers catalog. It's Steve's favorite publication. There, he said it! |
| 8:00
| Steve's hoping the Bears game goes a little better than a recess game on Sunday. How about high school? Rex was probably Mr. Indiana Football in high school. There are probably a lot of interceptions at recess, little kids don't know how to run their routes. |
| 8:01
| Does Buzz have headlines? Steve would like to read that article about Drew Peterson's second wife at some point. |
| 8:02
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 8:02
| Barry Bonds has been indicted on chargers of perjury and obstruction of justice. |
| 8:03
| Steve's glad they're doing something with Barry Bonds because he's sick of hearing about the record and all that. Steve would go bench trial if he was Barry Bonds. |
| 8:04
| He might be able to get a fair trial in the Bay Area, based on what Steve saw on the news. Steve knows that Ed Farmer doesn't like him. He also doesn't like Buddy Bell or Buddy Black and Buck Showalter. |
| 8:05
| We're now hearing from Drew Peterson's second wife about her marriage to the ex-Bolingbrook cop. Buzz is now demanding to hear from the first wife. He feels it's not far behind though. |
| 8:06
| They were married for 10 years! That's an eternity in Drew Peterson years. |
| 8:07
| There are now secret plans underway to get Leno, Letterman and Conan back on the air. Can't they write 4 jokes on their own? If you can't write 4 jokes you shouldn't have your own show. |
| 8:08
| Lindsay Lohan has spent 84 minutes behind bar. Usually she's in front of them, but seriously. She was supposed to serve a day in prison for two DUI arrests earlier this year. |
| 8:09
| The woman who took photos of Oscar de La Hoya in lingerie is now suing the boxer for defamation of character. |
| 8:10
| Lindsay was let go from the lock-up because of overcrowding. You would think they'd be able to find a way to keep her in for a day at least. |
| 8:11
| Police in New York are investigating the deaths of a morbidly obese mother and son. The mother was found dead in front of an open refrigerator and the son was found in his bedroom. |
| 8:12
| All that stuff in the fridge probably went bad, right? |
| 8:13
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 8:14
| It's really confusing to have David's radio show mentioned in the live read. The show's not even on this station and Steve doesn't say where it's on. |
| 8:21
| That was a drop from the debate last night. They need to narrow those things down to two people, a Republican and a Democrat, before Steve starts watching. Otherwise what difference does it make? |
| 8:22
| Steve feels guilty saying that outloud but there's a reason those aren't on network TV. Maybe that's why things are messed up though. People are watching Earl and The Office instead of the debate. |
| 8:23
| Live read: Medical Hair Restoration |
| 8:24
| Caller Jim can't wait for tomorrow night, he'll be at the show. Jim seems to recall Buzz having a problem with some of Palatine's finest the last time he was out there. |
| 8:25
| There was no problem, Buzz just got a ticket. We broke from vacation and Buzz had a gig. Buzz was racing home late at night to catch the cab to take them to the airport. |
| 8:26
| Buzz was running late and he was sort of in a hurry even though he'd just got a ticket. Then the windows started fogging up and Buzz couldn't figure out how to get the defroster working. So he was driving down the Eisenhower with his head out the window. |
| 8:27
| Steve's pretty sure that's not the Eisenhower. How do you get out to Palatine? Is that the Kennedy to 90? |
| 8:28
| Buzz didn't get the ticket for being fogged up though. He had failed several roadside tests when he was pulled over. It's amazing how you can just forget the alphabet like that. |
| 8:29
| Buzz knows the mayor of Palatine but he didn't drop her name. In that situation, you can't drop your name. You have to have the cop recognize you. |
| 8:30
| There was another time when Buzz was pulled over late and night and the cop told him to follow him to the police department. Hey, Lindsay Lohan, get limo! |
| 8:31
| Once at the police station the cop said he recognized Buzz's voice and asked him if he was on the radio. It might be helpful if Buzz gets his nickname on his driver's license. |
| 8:32
| It's funny that Aimee doesn't let Buzz use the car during the week but she lets him do it on the weekend so he can go drunk driving. |
| 8:33
| Jim was wondering if Steve had any plans to do a remote at the Allerton Hotel for the morning show. |
| 8:34
| Steve tried to do something there but they didn't seem interested. It might be easier under the auspices of Jack FM> |
| 8:35
| Is Jim going to be up front at the show tomorrow yelling stuff at Steve while he's on stage? Because he has that familiarity-breeds-contempt feel to him. |
| 8:36
| Jim's bringing his wife to the gig. Maybe she could come up front and he could stay in back. It's always encouraging when there are women in the front instead of big dudes in tight t-shirts. |
| 8:37
| Steve used to do the Breakfast Club at the Allerton but they weren't interested in doing anything recently. |
| 8:38
| Buzz only remembers doing the Breakfast Club at the Carnegie Theater. That's no longer there though. |
| 8:39
| Steve doesn't know what is there now though. Every time he's up in that area he's too focused on getting up to the valet at Gibson's. There are a lot of hotshots in the area and you have to be ready. |
| 8:40
| Alright, on to the Tribune article about Vicki Connolly, Drew Peterson's second wife. Connolly doesn't know if her ex-husband had anything to do with the death of his third wife or the disappearance of his fourth wife. |
| 8:41
| Ed Silha is on the phone. Mary told him to call to tell Steve that Hugo's Frog Bar is now where the Carnegie used to be. The Allerton is now the Crown Plaza Hotel. It still says Allerton at the top of the building as well as Tip Top Tap. That's where Don McNeil used to do his Breakfast Club, way back in the day. |
| 8:42
| How's Ed doing? Will he be joining us at the show tomorrow? Ed will be there, camera in hand. He really is one of the pavarazzi. |
| 8:43
| Alright Pat Boyle is on the phone. It was a weird day in sports yesterday with Barry Bonds and then A-Rod. |
| 8:44
| A-Rod's coming back to the Yankees and he negotiated the return himself, without agent Scott Boras. Pat feels that Scott Boras really misplayed this whole thing. |
| 8:45
| He made the announcement that A-Rod was leaving the Yankees during game 4 of the World Series. MLB did not like that. |
| 8:46
| Then they went out looking for a $300 million contract. There are probably 1 or 2 teams that can afford that and one of them is the Yankees. |
| 8:47
| The whole A-Rod thing was upstaged by Barry Bonds' indictment although A-Rod's probably not losing any sleep. |
| 8:48
| Pat feels that Barry's arrogance finally caught up with him here. He told a grand jury that he was unknowingly given banned substances. |
| 8:49
| One of two things happened to get to this point. Either Barry Bonds' friend finally flipped and testified against him or they found new info. |
| 8:50
| Greg Anderson allegedly supplied Bonds with the banned substances but he refused to testify against him. He did a year in prison before being released yesterday. |
| 8:51
| The Bulls had their best road game of the season last night but they still lost to the Suns. |
| 8:52
| Pat is not feeling good about the Bears game though. Steve's praying for a miracle, even though he doesn't really pray. |
| 8:53
| Steve's just glad it's a later game. If the game is over at 3:00 and they lose that just means more time to dwell on it. |

| Brendan will be out at Skore's in Harwood Heights tonight giving out the last of the tickets for the final show on the Dahlfins tour. Buzz is wondering if we ever named the tour. |
| 8:58
| Steve was calling it the Budweiser Select Tour. How's Brendan getting out there tonight, taking mom's car? |
| 8:59
| Matt and Brendan used to switch off driving to the appearances when they worked together. But now Brendan will be driving mom's Seabring. He still gets to use it even though he's out of the house? |
| 9:00
| Buzz remembers driving a Seabring and it seemed like a nightmare. That was many years ago though, they've probably made improvement. Buzz probably wasn't drunk when he was driving it so it felt weird. |
| 9:01
| Buzz rented a Seabring to drive up the coast of California and he didn't like it. That's what he gets for renting a chick car. |
| 9:02
| Buzz was trying to impress Aimee who at the time was the new girlfriend. The last time he made that drive by himself it was in a Porsche. He was trying to recreate that with the Seabring and it didn't really work. |
| 9:03
| Are we doing headlines now or is Steve reading this thing about Drew Peterson's second wife? It seems like a good time to do some headlines. |
| 9:04
| Barry Bonds is not the only baseball player in trouble. Derek Jeter is being accused of not paying taxes in New York by claiming to live in Florida. |
| 9:05
| Holiday shoppers in Phoenix were surprised to learn that their local Toys 'R Us is still selling Aquadots, the toy pulled off shelves after it was learned that they contain the date rape drug. |
| 9:06
| Great Britain has not motto as a country and they're not accepting ideas for one. The entries include "Once Great Britain", "American's who missed the boat", "At least we're not French" and "Get blotto, play lotto, that's our motto" Did Buzz get this from The Onion? |
| 9:07
| Alright on to Drew Peterson's second wife. Vicki Connolly said Thursday that Peterson told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident. |
| 9:08
| She didn't believe he'd ever do it but something prompted her to confide in Bolingbrook police officers she considered friends. Something tells Steve these are the guys going up in front of the grand jury. |
| 9:09
| Connolly said Peterson would hit her but not hard enough to send her to the hospital and not often enough where she'd expect it. |
| 9:10
| Connolly was married to Peterson for 10 years and raised each other's children from previous marriages. They operated a bar together and she stuck with him through infidelities and legal troubles. |
| 9:11
| She stuck with him until she finally saw him cheating with her own eyes. That means she witnessed it, not that he was cheating on her with her eyes. |
| 9:12
| Connolly met Peterson at a Bolingbrook bar in the early 80's, seeing a band. Steve was wondering if they were there to see him. He used to play La Margarita with Teenage Radiation. |
| 9:13
| You've got to hand it to Drew, he seems to get the job done. He's not that good looking but he seems to ooze confidence. |
| 9:14
| Connolly said she was well-off when she met Peterson but thought it was romantic that he wanted to save her. Save her from what? |
| 9:15
| The couple's honeymoon ended 2 years after they were married. That's a long honeymoon! |
| 9:16
| Peterson worked undercover with the narcotics unit during the second marriage and Connolly believes that fed his ego. Is this the first we've heard of him being an undercover officer? |
| 9:17
| Buzz feels that explains a lot about what we've seen so far. Steve thinks it might be tougher going on national TV than it is being in the back of a Bolingbrook bar buying weed from a cholo. |
| 9:18
| In 1985 Peterson was fired from his job after failing to report a bribe. So if he'd reported it he could keep the money? |
| 9:19
| He was reinstated in 1986 after a judge overruled the decision to fire him. At that point Connolly says Peterson became more controlling. He put bugs in their kitchen to record conversations she had. |
| 9:20
| Steve is sure this whole thing is just an unfortunate coincidence. |
| 9:27
| That was a sister of Kathleen Savio right there. Yet another coincidence, that Savio would die right after expressing fears to her sister that she'd die. Steve feels it's not looking good for the Drewster. |

| Steve hates to interrupt Buzz because he's in the flow right now but we're going to to Pizza Tragedies so if you have one, call 591-JACK. |
| 9:30
| Buzz's hair is so full already that he looks like Yahoo Serious. |
| 9:31
| Don't forget, Steve will be at Little Guys tomorrow from 11:00 to 12:30 for the HES-V100 demo. Then the Dahlfins show is tomorrow night at Durty Nellie's. Doors open at 7:00 and the show starts at 8:30. They're opening for a Led Zeppelin cover band. |
| 9:32
| Steve would like to go over the math of this show. If the show starts at 8:30 will they make everyone leave at 10:00? |
| 9:33
| Buzz feels are these times are bar times and therefore subject to change. He's also met one of the guys from Prezence, he's very nice and he doesn't anticipate any issues. |
| 9:34
| Alright it's time for Pizza Tragedies. First he has to fire up the talking Elmo doll with singing pizza. It doesn't get any better than that. |
| 9:35
| Caller Matt used to work at a clubhouse in a condo complex. All they had to do was give out pool cues for the pool table or watch people swim. They had a kitchen and Matt's friend popped a frozen pizza in the oven. |
| 9:36
| After 45 minutes he'd forgotten about the pizza which is usually supposed to cook for 20 minutes. By the time he got up there the entire thing was burnt except for one part of the middle. |
| 9:37
| The guy was so hungry that he cut the middle out and started eating it. The whole thing was filled with molten sauce which shot everywhere when he took the first bite. |
| 9:38
| Getting burnt on that first bite is the worst. You might as well just throw the entire piece out. |
| 9:39
| Steve feels weird not giving the callers anything for this segment but Mary demands it. She's tired of people being rewarded for participating. She's right but Steve still feels weird. Can't we at least give them a Steve Dahl Show pizza slicer or something? How about a lovely commemorative pizza medallion? Buzz suggests a Steve Dahl Show mug. Is that just because he wants a free mug? |
| 9:40
| Steve's been handed something from eBay. It's a grease stain on a pizza box that looks like Britney Spears nude. It's fake though, otherwise Steve would have bid on it. |
| 9:41
| Steve feels we need some sort of giveaway. How about a t-shirt that says "Pizza Tragedies"? The kids these days like to wear t-shirts that don't make sense anyway. |
| 9:42
| That last caller seemed surprised that he wasn't getting anything. His story wasn't that great anyway but Steve still wanted to give him something because he's insecure. He doesn't ooze confidence like Drew Peterson does. |
| 9:43
| Caller Jim should know up front that Steve doesn't have a prize for him. He doesn't want an awkward silence when the phone call is done. |
| 9:44
| Back in the 90's, when the Bulls beat Portland in the NBA Finals, Jim was working at a pizza place. These guys would always call just before closing time to get a pizza delivery and they'd never tip. |
| 9:45
| One one particular night they decided to add some extra ingredients to the pizza, the floor sweepings from closing time. Sadly the guys ordered pizza again two nights later. Steve might have to get Jim a prize for that one. |
| 9:46
| We should at least get a Pizza Tragedies t-shirt. Steve doesn't want his name of Jack FM on it though. Of course he's saying that now before he's gotten any ratings on this station. |
| 9:47
| Steve would also like to get a pizza box with a grease stain that looks like him nude. That would actually make a great t-shirt. |
| 9:48
| The thing about Pizza Tragedies is that most people wait all week to get a pizza. Then they wait for it to be delivered. A lot of people feel compelled to eat a bad pizza but Steve's not one of them. |
| 9:49
| The last time Pat Dahl was in town the boys were out at the house to watch a football game. They ordered a pizza which Steve wanted well-done but was accused of being gay by Pat Dahl. Well-done pizza doesn't sound gay to Steve. |
| 9:50
| That's Steve's pizza tragedy right there. A dad trying to get some pizzas with his sons on a Sunday afternoon has his sexuality called into question. |
| 9:51
| Alright this just in from today's Daily Southtown. A Tinley Park pizza restaurant owner is suing a local police officer for shooting him with a taser. The tasering sent the man into convulsions and caused him to bite off part of his tongue. |
| 9:52
| Alexander Mendez and his wife, owners of the Guardi's Pizza and Catering, say officer Joseph Vega shot Mendez in the head and shoulders during a failed prank last June. |
| 9:53
| Vega came to their restaurant to order pasta salad. When Mendez walked into the cooler to get the salad Vega asked his wife if she wanted to see him scare her husband. She said no. |
| 9:54
| Vega then allegedly pointed the taser at Mendez's head and fired. The prongs stuck into his temple and collarbone. That's way too high up for a taser, you're going to get a lot of uncontrollable jaw movement. You really need to aim for the gut. |
| 9:59
| On a recent Office episode Michael ordered pizza from the wrong restaurant for an office party. Buzz doesn't remember that episode, it must have escaped his attention. Pete says the season is over after last night. But what about the pizza episode? |
| 10:00
| Michael took the pizza guy hostage because he wouldn't accept the coupon he had. The reason he ordered the bad pizza was because he had the coupon. |
| 10:01
| Pete seems a little disinterested in the show today, would that be a fair assessment? Steve asks him something and it takes him forever to answer. Then Steve has to hear Pete's agenda before he answers. |
