| That's Toto with Africa. That song used to be called Negro but they had to change it because it wasn't politically correct. |
| 5:31
| That's just a joke by the way. Buzz feels a knowledge of that song is required in order to get the joke. |
| 5:32
| Steve's a little disappointed we're not having the snow they were predicting all day yesterday. He was looking forward to doing the school closings for the first time. "In Bannockburn, St. Mary of the Little Go-Kart is closed" |
| 5:33
| They were talking about how there's going to be freezing rain tomorrow and Steve's trying to figure out if he needs to get salt or not. He doesn't like going to get salt because there's always a run on it, like the run on the bank in It's a Wonderful Life. |
| 5:34
| Steve always forgets which kind of salt he needs also. There's one type of salt that works really well but he can't remember if it'll damage his driveway. Then he thinks he should get rock salt which just makes him want to make ice cream. Then he wishes it was summer. |
| 5:35
| According to Buzz Steve won't have to worry about the weather until Monday. Steve really doesn't like going to Home Depot over the weekend either, there are too many home improvement guys with 12 foot wood boards sticking out of their carts or big pieces of dry wall. And there's Steve with a bag of salt. |
| 5:36
| Steve has a plowing service so he doesn't even know why he's worrying about this. The plow guy came by and put the rods along the edge so he knows where to stop plowing. |
| 5:37
| Steve feels the guy is a bit too liberal with his borders though. He wants the plowed space to reflect the actual size and shape of his driveway, he doesn't want the guy going into the lawn. |
| 5:38
| Steve saw the rods when he was bringing out the recycling, which will probably just get mixed in with the regular garbage. Steve can't prove that happens but he's sure it does. He's said that in the house before and it doesn't get a good reception. |
| 5:39
| One day we'll do snow closings and it'll be cool. Buzz is wondering if there will be music. There probably will be, maybe some Christmas music. Christmas music is very big right now. |
| 5:40
| The Lite is all Christmas music now, they were tricked to starting that early by Fresh FM which now is playing soft, fresh, flaccid music. Is Pete's alarm clock still set to Fresh FM? |
| 5:41
| Pete actually changed his alarm clock so no Bubbly this morning. He didn't wake up curling his toes this morning? Pete got to hear it yesterday though, Small Paul from the old station came in to his studio in the afternoon and said "Hey your jam's on" |
| 5:42
| Then Pete went into the other studio and it was Bubbly. Did they slow dance or something? Small Paul actually seemed embarrassed for Pete. |
| 5:43
| Is Pete watching TV in there? It seems like it would be much easier for Pete if he kept things at a reasonable volume and it would certainly be less jarring for the rest of us who have to go in there everyday to tell him stuff. |
| 5:44
| Every time someone comes in there they have to wait 30 seconds while Pete pretends to ignore them. Then he finally turns the music down. He does the same thing after the show, when he's changing tapes up in the office. Steve goes in there everyday to get a bottle of water before he leaves and Pete pretends that he doesn't notice him. |
| 5:45
| There's no way Pete doesn't notice Steve. He's a big guy, he's got bags with him and he's a celebrity. There are a million reasons why Pete would notice Steve. |
| 5:46
| By the time Pete turns all the stuff down in his studio and actually acknowledges you, you've forgotten what you wanted. |
| 5:47
| Admittedly, Pete has bad hearing. But it's not bad enough where he can't still listen to Chicago's Fresh FM. Steve plays Bubbly again for Pete which he appreciates. Steve will crinkle her nose! With his fist! |
| 5:48
| Buzz seems shocked by Steve today. He starts the show off talking about negroes and now this Bubbly stuff. The truth is, Buzz actually likes that song. Maybe he and Pete should go to Starbucks together and get an egg nog latte or something. |
| 5:49
| Yesterday Steve stopped at a drive-thru Starbucks because he wanted some caffeine so he'd be awake enough to watch the Packers/Cowboys game. He asked for an extra shot and when he got home he thought it tasted like there was rum in there. Then he was worried that maybe this was the one Starbucks where they gave you rum when you asked for an extra shot. |
| 5:54
| They were very nice at Starbucks and there was probably a screen in the drive-thru Steve could have checked to make sure they had it right. Steve's never been to a drive-thru Starbucks though, he prefers to go in. |
| 5:55
| Starbucks always has a bathroom and Steve likes to use the free bathrooms. Plus it's not any faster to go through the drive-thru. Buzz doesn't know any of the Starbucks terms, he just knows that grande isn't the biggest. |
| 5:56
| Whenever Buzz goes to Starbucks he throws himself on the mercy of the employee. He just says "whatever you think is best, I just want something hot and exotic." Then do they say "I get off at 3:00" |
| 5:57
| Whenever Steve asks someone here to go get him coffee he tells them what he wants. Then they come back and tell him what he got in Starbucks language. It's a learning process. |
| 5:58
| Live read: Gladstone Homes |
| 5:59
| The sad thing is that Steve pre-read this live read and he's still having trouble with it. In fact he might be reading it worse because he's cocky from having read it already. |
| 6:00
| Buzz might want to think about moving out to the suburbs though, these houses look great. |
| 6:01
| It's something Buzz has thought about. If you go to his condo and see his kitchen you think the rest of the place is just as big. Steve's never been to Buzz's place, but it's not because he's never been invited. Maybe he can come over for the next Beignet Saturday. |
| 6:02
| Steve doesn't think he'd ever make it out for Beignet Saturday. On the other hand, what is he doing? He always thinks he has something going on but he doesn't. |
| 6:03
| There were several calls on hold that Steve was going to take but they're all hanging up. You have to give Steve a few minutes to do other things before he gets to your call. |
| 6:04
| There was a guy on hold from Waste Management who swears doesn't mix garbage and recycling and another guy who was calling about Starbucks. What was the Starbucks call about Brendan? |
| 6:05
| Could Brendan's reaction time be any slower in the morning? It was some sort of online comic about Starbucks. Steve doesn't care about that. He also doesn't care about people sending his stuff they think is hilarious. |
| 6:06
| Whenever Steve gets an email from a listener with something funny and he's one of many people it was sent to he doesn't read it. And most of the time it's some sort of Oprah-style platitude. |
| 6:07
| What was the Starbucks comic about? In 3, 2, 1. Buzz thought Steve was asking him but he doesn't know what it is. Forget it! Brendan needs to go have a Red Bull or something. |
| 6:08
| Brendan has a pretty cake gig, he's getting paid to work 8 hours but he gets here at 5:00 and leaves at 10:00. Steve keeps saying we need to get 8 hours out of him but everyone just says "how are we gonna do that?" He's an on-air personality now, he's probably bitter that he doesn't have a show. He's not really bitter but he might be depressed. |
| 6:09
| Steve knows that Matt is depressed, he's actually moved back home. Steve's getting ready to call Gladstone Homes for himself. Every time he tries to take a nap someone wakes him up. Yesterday it was Matt running up and down the stairs getting ready to go out. The dog wakes him up a lot too. |
| 6:10
| Steve doesn't care if Matt's there but he doesn't like the dog. And people keep trying to get Steve to like the dog, which only makes him hate it more. Steve doesn't want a male dog in the house either, he doesn't need another willy. |
| 6:11
| Caller Tim is wondering if Steve's seen the Bobby Knight video. He's out hunting and some guy tells him he's too close to his property. Bobby Knight's actually on the right side of the law here but he seems very close to shooting someone. |
| 6:12
| Steve didn't watch it too closely because he doesn't really care about Bobby Knight. He's just an ass and he's famous for being a jerk. |
| 6:13
| Tim lives in Limestone which Steve assumes has a limestone quarry in it. That was actually featured at the end of the Keanu Reeves movie Chain Reaction. |
| 6:14
| What is Tim doing up this early? Does he just wake up to listen to the show? Tim works from home, he'd told Steve what he does via email in the past. |
| 6:15
| Tim works for a company that advertises on a rival station so he's not sure if he should say what he does. Steve wants to know though. Tim works for a company that has to conduct business off-shore. |
| 6:16
| Is it online gambling? Steve had to dump Tim and he was on strike 2 anyway. Buzz didn't hear anything to dump. It was just some course language but Steve's been in meetings where they tell him you can't say that stuff. Sometimes it's edited out of songs like Life in the Fast Lane. |
| 6:24
| That Bobby Knight video sounds like something from Deliverance. Don't they have police out there? |
| 6:25
| Steve can see the guy's point, if shotgun pellets are landing in his pool and on his roof maybe they should hunt elsewhere. |
| 6:26
| Live read: Allen Brothers |
| 6:27
| The Allen Brothers catalog and their website is like meat porn. It's unbelievable how good it looks. |
| 6:28
| Yesterday Steve was complaining that he wasn't featured on the Allen Brothers website but we've been giving out an old website. That's a carry-over from when we were on WCKG, which no longer exists. It's now just a mythical place, like the lost city of Atlantis. Hail Atlantis! |
| 6:29
| The Allen Brothers copy we had was from last year. There's some sort of deal where the sales people from WCKG who are still here get the commission from everything they booked on the show until the end of the year. |
| 6:30
| Steve is on Allenbrothers.com but he better be ahead of Dan McNeil. That guy wouldn't know a good steak if it came up and cooked itself in front of him. |
| 6:31
| Dan's a nice guy but he's an idiot. He probably doesn't even know how to light a barbecue. He's listed before Steve because it's alphabetical by first name. According to the website Dan "loves to entertain and people know that about him." Steve didn't know that. |
| 6:32
| One of the benefits of having a last name that starts with a D is early on in the alphabetical listings. Dan McNeil actually stole Chet Coppock's soul. Now Chet is just a zombie that wanders the earth with raccoon eyes. Steve and Buzz were there when it happened. One day Dan was Chet's producer and the next day he was doing his show for 1/10th of the money. |
| 6:33
| Caller Dmitri went over to the Eleven City Diner on Steve's recommendation and had the pastrami sandwich which was fantastic. He could have used more cole slaw though. Dmitri waited on hold all this time to say there wasn't enough cole slaw? |
| 6:34
| Just for the record, Steve knows Brendan is working hard out there answering phones and trying to listen to the show. It's just funny to say he's slow. He doesn't seem like a morning person though. Now that Buzz thinks about it he didn't seem like an afternoon person either. |
| 6:35
| Steve has a new menu from Eleven City Diner and the pastrami sandwich is now named after him. For all of Brad's talk about how expensive it is to print up new menus after the whole Marshal Field's thing, Steve had this one in two days. That being said, Steve wouldn't mind getting a pastrami sandwich today. It is Pastrami Friday after all. |
| 6:36
| Steve needs to turn down the heat in the studio, it's getting too warm. The AC was broken all day yesterday and Steve didn't complain once. |
| 6:37
| Steve did complain during every break off the air, to the point where Mary wanted to kill him. She almost stabbed him once actually because she's freezing out there. It's finally at a normal temperature around here and Steve's writhing around and flopping on the floor because he thinks it's too warm. |
| 6:38
| Then Steve got a lecture from Steve the engineer about the temperature in the studio and how he's running the board a little hot. |
| 6:39
| He said that things are getting distorted on the HD feed and Penny downstairs in the Jack studio has to ride his levels. Steve doesn't want to hear about anyone riding his levels or fiddling with the show. |
| 6:40
| Penny just told Mary that it's her dream to ride Steve's levels. Maybe he should stop down there after the show one day. |
| 6:41
| Mary's telling Steve to call Penny which seems like it'll turn into an HR issue. Is that cole slaw guy on hold still? He's not getting a prize, does he know that? Who even eats cole slaw when your sandwich is 10 feet high? |
| 6:42
| Buzz actually had some cole slaw last night, the family got KFC for dinner. Was he inspired by that commercial where the black family is sitting around and the mom says "this is the best part of my day." Then the son says "Mom you need to get a life" |
| 6:43
| Buzz likes cole slaw but he usually only has a few spoonfuls. Who wants a big bowl of cole slaw, especially with one of those sandwiches at Eleven City Diner. |
| 6:44
| Today's web poll question of the day at Dahl.com is "Should the FDA crackdown on salt?" |
| 6:45
| The FDA is known for deciding whether medication is safe for the public and for banning Ephedra. One kid took some Ephedra during Spring Break, jumped off a balcony and ruined it for the rest of us. |
| 6:46
| The FDA will begin collecting testimony about salt and it's role in American diets. |
| 6:47
| Members of the medical community, along with consumer groups want the government to intervene. A review could lead to limits on salt in processed foods like soups and cereals. There's not enough salt in soup for Steve and he always has to put salt on his Cheerios. |
| 6:48
| The groups want the FDA to change salt from a GRAS (generally regarded as safe) classification to a food additive. |
| 6:49
| The Bush administration is planning to launch a national campaign against obesity, particularly among children. Salty foods often lead to obesity because people are washing down their hot dogs and potato chips with soft drinks high in sugar. So now it's going to be illegal to have beef jerky and a Dr. Pepper. |
| 6:50
| Buzz's doctor always tells him to cut down on the salt. That's always what they tell you to do. |
| 6:58
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 6:59
| If Buzz is thinking of buying Steve a new TV for his office, he should go to The Little Guys. Maybe Buzz is thinking he should start giving back. |
| 7:00
| Steve has taken "I" out of this live read about 50 times. |
| 7:01
| Buzz is eyeing a new DVD player next. Is this where Buzz tries to get a free Blu-Ray player? |
| 7:02
| Buzz knows it won't be free but he'll get a nice deal on it. That's because he's willing to say "I". |
| 7:03
| Yesterday Buzz was asking Steve if he should go with Blu-Ray or HD DVD. Steve has a Blu-Ray but now it seems like HD DVD is coming on strong. |
| 7:04
| Steve realized he didn't want to be the one who recommended one format over the other to Buzz. If it didn't work out he'd come in and throw the machine at Steve. |
| 7:05
| Steve recommended a machine that plays both formats. As soon as Buzz got home yesterday he had a new catalog and the first thing he saw in there was that machine. |
| 7:06
| Buzz should make sure The Little Guys sells a machine like that though. If they don't sell it, you don't want it. |
| 7:07
| OK back to the salt. Buzz remembers a doctor saying that if people cut down on salt 150,000 people wouldn't suffer from heart disease. |
| 7:08
| The whole thing seems ridiculous. All you have to do is look at the packaging and if there's too much salt, don't eat it. |
| 7:09
| Caller Scott is out in Wheaton, home of Cream of Wheaton. The FDA requires manufacturers to put sodium content, per serving, for all food. |
| 7:10
| Sometimes Steve likes to enjoy some beef jerky because there's not a lot of calories in a bag but there is a lot of sodium. After Steve eats something salty he usually wants water so if people are drinking pop they're idiots and deserve to die. |
| 7:11
| Caller Steve was wondering if Pete ever came in with the brand name of the egg nog he enjoys. Steve's wife gets addicted to egg nog during every holiday season. |
| 7:12
| Pete did not come in with the egg nog today. He lives a very monastic life and instead of going to Dominick's or Jewel, where they have a wide selection of egg nog, he goes to a gas station. |
| 7:13
| Pete claims the egg nog at the gas station by him tastes better. It's not really Shell or Mobil brand egg nog, it's just some dairy that drops egg nog off. Steve feels that dairy at a gas station is already questionable. The last place he wants to buy milk is at a gas station. |
| 7:14
| Pete doesn't have a car so he misses the gas station experience. Steve knows they don't have self-serve any more but he misses that tube they had which caused the bell to go off when you drove over it. Steve was always able to jump on the tube and make it ding. |
| 7:15
| Pete did not bring the egg nog in, it's another empty promise. He was hoping to do an egg nog taste test between his gas station egg nog and a more traditional brand. |
| 7:16
| Pete doesn't have a car so he shops at the gas station. Jim doesn't have a car either, they take the train in at 3:00 AM with all the homeless people. |
| 7:17
| People actually fell asleep on a female passenger on the way home yesterday. He was already on the train when she got on and then he just fell asleep. |
| 7:18
| About 15 minutes later he woke up and his head was on her shoulder and his bag was on her legs. Is that a trick that Catman taught him or something? |
| 7:19
| The girl got up and got off the train and she didn't say a word to him. Pete thought that maybe it was comforting to her, it was like they were snuggling. |
| 7:20
| Pete wasn't really prepared to say anything to the girl because he'd just woken up. It happened so fast. He needs to be prepared for that kind of stuff. That's why he should carry the handcuffs around. |
| 7:21
| That's not proper etiquette for the "L". Buzz would have woken the person. Unwanted touching is battery and it could be felony battery if he drooled on her. |
| 7:22
| Why don't we save the egg nog taste test for next Friday. Doing it on a Monday gets Steve's week off to a bad start nutritionally. |
| 7:23
| Last year Steve brought Pete some egg nog and he didn't drink it until the weekend. During the week he eats apples and yogurt but on the weekend he drinks a fifth of something and date rapes Steve at his own concert. During the week Pete is a sweetheart of a man but on the weekends he's Ted Bundy. |
| 7:29
| We can do the egg nog thing on Monday. All of the sudden Steve went Pete on himself. |
| 7:30
| It better not be expired egg nog. Steve can see Pete pulling that trick on him and giving him dysentery for the next month. |
| 7:31
| Jim does have a car by the way, he just prefers to take the train. Who doesn't? Why drive when you can take the train with a bunch of homeless people? |
| 7:32
| Buzz's wife is urging him to take the train in the morning. She also gives him the car to drunk drive during the weekends and she told him he was balding. Buzz might want to re-examine their relationship. |
| 7:33
| Live read: Gladstone Homes |
| 7:34
| On the phone is the voice of the Bears, Jeff Joniak. How exciting was it to call that game on Sunday? |
| 7:35
| Steve would like to take some credit for getting into Todd Sauerbrun's head. It's not his idea to kick to Devin Hester though, he doesn't get to decide that. |
| 7:36
| Todd can be a rebel sometimes but Steve didn't see anyone yelling at him. |
| 7:37
| When Steve was watching the Packers game last night, on the NFL Network, they had one of those Joe's Place promos for next week's Bears game, if it happens. |
| 7:38
| Those promos are pretty funny, it's Joe Montana as a short-order cook in a diner and then some customers talking about football. One of them said something about kicking to Devin Hester or not. |
| 7:39
| Steve doesn't want people saying that though. They should have to kick to him, otherwise it takes all our fun away. There should be a stiffer penalty for kicking out of bounds too. |
| 7:40
| Jeff still doesn't have the NFL Network, which is ridiculous. He's an announcer for the Chicago Bears! Steve can see the Joniak's not being allowed to have premium channels or something. Jeff's wife probably doesn't want him seeing that show about the Chicken Ranch on HBO. |
| 7:41
| Jeff has HBO at the house but that's one premium channel. How much more money can the NFL Network be anyway? Jeff's going to ask his wife if he can get the NFL Network. |
| 7:42
| Jeff's wife says he can get it but it sounds like she's making fun of him. It's still on tape though so he should call about it on his way home. |
| 7:43
| Jeff had to stay at Halas Hall last night and watch the game but it's not out of the ordinary for him to be there that late anyway. |
| 7:44
| Yesterday Steve was in the car and heard Jeff talking about the Giants defense. They're in the top 10 and the front four is very good. But if the Bears line can contain them the other 7 have some holes in them. |
| 7:45
| The Giants did have 12 sacks in a game against the Eagles earlier this year, that's '85 Bears-esque. |
| 7:46
| Fred Miller is questionable for the game on Sunday. Steve saw him play on Sunday and he was questionable in that game. He got beaten on every play when Steve remembered to look for him. |
| 7:47
| Nathan Vasher could return for the game but it's not up to him. He's missed 8 games but it's not up to him. |
| 7:48
| Everyone else is healthy though and the Giants have some injury problems. Plus Eli Manning's own GM called him skittish. |
| 7:49
| For every game the NFL sends out a packet of press coverage from the opposing city. Every single New York paper is covering the Manning thing the same way. Everyone says he doesn't care. |
| 7:50
| There's no way you can be an NFL QB and not care about the game. Hopefully he doesn't get it together against the Bears though. |
| 7:51
| If the Bears are 6 and 6 going into the last month of the season every game will matter. |
| 7:52
| Steve took that play with Adrian Peterson when he scored the touchdown and refused to go down as a good sign. It seemed like he was going down and then 4 yards later he had a touchdown. |
| 8:00
| And that's Michael Strahan in The Cable Guy. Steve wouldn't say that to his face because Strahan could kill him with his bare hands. |
| 8:01
| Hopefully they kick to Devin Hester. He was a teammate of Sean Taylor's so he'll be going to the funeral. Greg Olsen said he'd like to go but Steve's not sure if they'll give him permission. Steve can't imagine the Bears wouldn't let him go though. |
| 8:02
| Steve's not a big funeral guy. It seems like if you're on the Bears and you're up in Chicago that should be enough of a reason to not go to the funeral in Florida. |

| Headlines with Buzz |
| 8:05
| Rodney King was shot last night trying to escape two men trying to steal his bike. He was shot in the shoulder and the wound is not life-threatening. Did he say "can't we all just get a bike" to the robbers? |
| 8:06
| It seems really stupid to try to take someone's bike late at night. It seems like it'd be overkill to be using a shotgun to do it. |
| 8:07
| 28 retired generals are asking Congress to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy saying there are over 65,000 gays and lesbians serving in the military. |
| 8:08
| The bin Laden tape is out and it has been confirmed as authentic by our counter-terrorism experts. Why do we keep airing his videos? Why don't we just ignore him. |
| 8:09
| Can we get some of that crazy Middle Eastern music because Steve thinks he could make some funny audio to go along with the tape. No wonder they're all crazy with that kind of music. |
| 8:10
| A Sudanese court has found a British teacher guilty of insulting Islam by allowing her students to name a teddy bear Mohammad. |
| 8:11
| Governor Blagojevich is defending his decision to attend a Blackhawks game instead of staying in Springfield during the transit funding bill debate. |
| 8:12
| That was a good Hawks game and Steve realizes that Blago can't vote on anything but it seems like he'd want to be down there just for appearances. |
| 8:13
| Pete found some Middle Eastern music for Steve. That's gonna be good but Steve's not prepared to do anything just yet. |
| 8:14
| How can you be calm with that kind of music? Maybe it's different with the hashish but they don't seem any calmer. |
| 8:15
| The speed limit on Lake Shore Drive goes back to 45 mph this weekend so be careful out there. |
| 8:16
| And some good news to end with, Foxy Brown is out of solitary confinement at Riker's Island. She was also able to enjoy Thanksgiving with family. |
| 8:23
| There's a guy on hold who wants to invite Steve to a beer sign collectors convention. Is that something Steve does? He's an alcoholic. Plus he's not in college. |
| 8:24
| Buzz saw something when he was coming in about Muslims wanting the teacher who named the teddy bear Mohammad to be killed. |
| 8:25
| The kid who named the teddy bear named it after himself. There's not a lot of rational though about stuff over there. That's why they have to cover their women up, they have no self-control. |
| 8:26
| Caller Rich wants to invite Steve to the beer sign convention. Steve appreciates it but why would he collect beer signs? |
| 8:27
| Steve likes beer signs and he's sure they're valuable. He actually has a few, like a Budweiser White Sox one for the World Series. |
| 8:28
| That White Sox one is hard to find and it go for a lot depending on the idiot. Right now there's a Cubs sign going for $4,000. |
| 8:29
| Steve used to collect beer signs when he was a kid. The best was when you got the sign from a liquor store. |
| 8:30
| The convention is at the VFW hall on Devon in Elk Grove. It's only a buck to get in! And probably $100 to get out. |
| 8:31
| Steve does have several beer signs in storage. He'd probably want to go to a bigger show to sell them though, not a VFW hall in Elk Grove. |
| 8:32
| Buzz can't believe there's a beer sign show to go to. He figured he would have heard about it at some point. |

| Steve has some Drew Peterson stuff from the Sun-Times today. For the Peterson stuff he likes to read it right out of the paper instead of online. It just has a better feel. |
| 8:35
| A close relative of Stacy Peterson never heard her say that Drew had said anything about killing his third wife. |
| 8:36
| That's according to Pam Bosco, a spokesman for the family. She's the one you see on TV all the time. Buzz likes her, she seems very stoic. That's what you want in a spokesman. She almost seems flinty. |
| 8:37
| Bosco is very careful not to accuse Drew of anything either. That's how it was with the Stebic's at first but then they turned on Craig. |
| 8:38
| How is Bosco related to the family though, Steve missed that. Can you hire a spokesmen now? |
| 8:39
| She's almost defending Drew. You know why, because he didn't do it. And if he asked a relative to come over to his house and move a blue container, it was only warm because there was bathtub chili in it. |
| 8:40
| On Thursday a pastor at Westbrook Christian Church in Bolingbrook said Stacy requested a late August meeting with church staff. |
| 8:41
| You really want to go with the Catholics in a situation like this. They can keep a secret. Steve's imaging that Westbrook is one of those feel-good churches with the rock music that sounds like it should be on The Mix. |
| 8:42
| "She feared for herself" according to Rob Daniels, the church's pastor of spiritual formation. Steve was right on the money with this! |
| 8:43
| The church official who spoke to Peterson made a judgment call not to alert authorities after the conversation. |
| 8:44
| The church is only obligated to alert authorities if child abuse is involved or if someone is threatening to hurt themselves or others. |
| 8:45
| They always have to check in with the Savio family in these articles. Plus all of these articles just repeat the same things. |
| 8:46
| This is all circumstantial, nobody's got nothin' on Drew. Cir-cum-stantial, and that's not a procedure done on a newborn. |
| 8:47
| Buzz is still wondering what they'll find in the Cal-Sag. Probably nothing, other than cars and truck trailers. Maybe some golf balls and tennis balls and an occasional skull. |
| 8:48
| That's not from Drew though. When is someone going to start feeling sorry for him? His wife left him! |
| 8:49
| Drew's deck does not match his pool siding so he'll probably be spending a lot of time trying to get that matched up. |
| 8:50
| Drews's a Parrothead so he likes to spend a lot of time in the backyard. It's 5 o'clock somewheres. |
| 8:51
| Ideally Drew would have an in-ground pool, shaped like Jimmy Buffett's head. If it's an old Buffett with the mustache that would be where the hot tub is. |
| 8:52
| Drew will probably get a hot tub now that he's single again. |
| 9:00
| Why won't the media leave Drew alone? It's probably because he keeps going on the Today's Show and talking to the reporters in front of his house. |
| 9:01
| Drew's a handsome man, he loves to see himself on camera. |
| 9:02
| For some reasons calls have sprung up for Drew so we might have an Ask Drew segment coming up. |
| 9:03
| Live read: Templeton Rye |
| 9:04
| Templeton Rye is the whisky that The Nadas are hooked up with. The side of their tour bus is just a big ad for the stuff, as are The Nadas and Ed Silha. |
| 9:05
| And Ed Silha is on the phone. Steve figured he'd talk to him during this since he's actually had Templeton Rye. |
| 9:06
| Ed starts every bartender off by asking "You got TR?" That sets them up for failure because no one knows what it is. |
| 9:07
| More and more though Ed's finding bartenders who know what TR is. |
| 9:08
| OK, what would be some good music for the Ask Drew segment that Steve has readily available. |
| 9:09
| How about Jimmy Buffett! Of course! Steve was sitting there thinking he'd never be able to come up with good music and everyone else is telling him Jimmy Buffett. |
| 9:10
| Caller Wade lives in Bolingbrook and covers local happenings for a local newspaper. He's wondering if he saw sparks fly between Drew and Meredith Viera. Is Wade running his own bit here? |
| 9:11
| Meredith Viera is too old for Drew. That broad's gotta be in her 50s. If he wants to see wrinkles he'll go get some prunes. |
| 9:12
| That wasn't even the guy's original question. He was going to ask if the People article helped him get broads. Drew wasn't even on with Meredith Viera, he was on with Matt Lauers. |
| 9:13
| The former fiancè was the one who talked to Meredith Viera. It'd be nice if some of these women would tell people what a great lover is. You think he's not good in the sack? Just look at that mustache. |
| 9:14
| The problem is that the broads Drew is with catch him with other broads. That's a dealbreaker for a lot of broads. That doesn't mean he doesn't love them, but he has needs. |
| 9:15
| Caller Josh loves Drew and loves his show. Slow down a bit fella! Obviously he's a little nervous talking to Drew. Josh was wondering if Anita Padilla is as hot in person as she is on TV. She's alright. Drew would do her but he'd probably bring in a younger broad to get the broad average age down. |
| 9:16
| ABC needs to send a broad out to the house because right now they've got a guy covering the house. Not that Sarah Schulte either, how did she end up on TV? |
| 9:17
| OK that seems like all for now. When the song runs out that's the end of the bit. |
| 9:24
| Drew actually invited Sarah Schulte in to do an interview knowing nothing would happen. |
| 9:25
| Pat Boyle was on the phone, he was just enjoying the Ask Drew segment. |
| 9:26
| Brendan always comes in during the breaks to tell Steve stuff that he doesn't think is air-worthy. |
| 9:27
| Some guy called in and said that his dad is a Bolingbrook cop and overheard someone else saying that Drew Peterson enjoys Steve's impersonation. |
| 9:28
| We don't know that for sure though, it's just hearsay. That's why we don't put it on the air. |
| 9:29
| Pat Boyle was watching the game last night wondering if there's any way we can get Joniak to call the rest of those games. Sadly the NFL seems to be in bed with Bryant Gumbel. They must assume that viewers want condescension in their broadcasters. |
| 9:30
| Pat was looking for a particular play that really showed the condescension but he couldn't find one. It's hard to pinpoint but it goes from the beginning of the game to the end. |
| 9:31
| Kudos to the NFL Network though for heavily featuring the Cowboys cheerleaders for most of the post-game. They were good shots of them too, close up. The whole time Steve was thinking how Tony Romo could nail all of them if he wanted to. |
| 9:32
| There have to be tons of people banging on the door of the broadcast booth to call those games. He's better off doing those magazine shows where he doesn't do any work. |
| 9:33
| The good thing about Bryant Gumbel is that he's quiet. They seen to tone down the crowd noise too and there aren't a lot of weird graphics and sound effects like on Fox. |
| 9:34
| Pat was listening earlier when Steve was talking to Jeff Joniak. He can't believe he doesn't have the NFL Network. |
| 9:35
| A few weeks ago Jeff said he didn't have HD programming even though he has an HD TV. Steve told him he needs to get it but he probably still hasn't. Steve thinks the Joniak household is one of those places where they read books and only watch 60 Minutes. |
| 9:36
| Comcast has the Hawks home game on tonight, against the Coyotes. Pat's bringing his daughter and wife to the game. His guess is they won't make it through the second period. |
| 9:37
| Mike Dahl informed Steve that Josh Mora and Kerry Sayers will be shooting pucks during the second intermission tonight. |
| 9:38
| They always have a fat guy, a hot girl and a little kid. Josh Mora isn't really fat though. |
| 9:39
| Steve once shot the puck during the second intermission. Just as he did when he threw out the first pitch at The Cell, Steve went to practice at an ice rink. |
| 9:40
| When Steve got the puck he got it through the first hole but not the second one. That minimized the booing to a certain extent. |
| 9:41
| Patrick Kane, to commemorate his first NHL goal, got a bottle of wine for everyone else on the team. Someone told him he had to get everyone something but since he's only 19 he had to have his dad buy the wine. That would be a good ad for the Hawks. |
| 9:42
| Steve was sitting in front of a guy who must have been a Pee Wee hockey coach because he kept shouting out commands to the players who probably don't need to be told what to do. And every time someone made a move or a play he identified it. Hopefully those aren't his regular seats. |
| 9:43
| HBO is going to turn that Barry Bonds book into a movie which he's not happy about. Apparently the possibility of going to jail isn't anything to worry about but the TV movie is. |
| 9:44
| Maybe he doesn't like the actor who's going to play him or something. They'll need two actors, one for when he was thin and on the Pirates and one for when he got huge with the Giants. How about Dave Chappelle and MIchael Clark Duncan? |
| 9:45
| Live read: Jacob Ruth |
| 9:51
| There's Bryant Gumbel messing up the team introduction. The Cowboys come out of a giant Cowboy helmet, how can you mistake them for the Packers? |
| 9:52
| Still that drop doesn't really sum up the level of condescension that Bryant brings to every game. He'll tell you about football just because you're too stupid to be watching anything else. |
| 9:53
| Live read: Gladstone Homes |
| 9:54
| $100,000 off of the price is a lot. If you had $1,000, multiply that by a thousand. That's $100,000. |
| 9:55
| We got the pastrami sandwiches from Eleven City Diner. Buzz is eating the Steve Dahl which is now on the menus. Earlier in the broadcast someone called in to talk about how good the pastrami is but said they were light on the cole slaw. |
| 9:56
| Cole slaw is a filler, how much do you really need? Not enough pastrami, that's a valid complaint but cole slaw? Plus the guy waited on hold for a half hour to say they didn't have enough cole slaw. |
| 9:57
| E! is headed to the dog house. This is from Variety so it'll be in showbizese. Cabler E! has green lit production on a half hour reality skein, which means show, based on the life of Snoop Dogg. It'll focus on his family and business lives. |
| 9:58
| Steve doesn't know if skein means an episode or the entire series. When you read Variety there's no translator. |
| 9:59
| Snoop was on TV the other day and Buzz was calling Piper over, since he's her favorite rapper, and then he let out a long string of profanities. |
| 10:00
| Steve has to question Buzz letting Piper listen to Snoop Dogg and yet freaking out when she comes home with pierced ears. |
| 10:01
| Skein is a TV series by the way. The only thing surprising about Snoop Dogg's show is that it took so long to get greenlit. |
| 10:02
| You know why they call it a skein? It also refers to long coils of yarn or hair. A skein is not a specific unit of length. |
