| Before that song started Buzz said "do I have a minute?" and he did. They weren't playing Stairway though, it was Skid Row. Doesn't Buzz know his Skid Row? |
| 5:33
| Steve could have certainly covered for Buzz though. He's down there covering the news dammit! He was actually watching video of Hillary Clinton being heckled by a guy yelling "iron my shirt!" |
| 5:34
| That was Steve yelling "iron my shirt" by the way. Hillary doesn't seem like a good ironer though. |
| 5:35
| Both Steve and Buzz ironed their own clothes out of necessity. Steve never saw his mom iron and living in Southern California there was an abundance of cheap labor. They usually took their clothes to some woman's house and she ironed their clothes. |
| 5:36
| Steve always wanted his baseball uniform ironed so he had to do it himself. Last week, for Pat's wedding, Matt needed his pants ironed and Steve did it. Matt seemed impressed that he could do it. |
| 5:37
| Anyone can iron if you think about it. The boys always take the ironing board out to iron and then just leave it in the hallway. Steve's always the last person to leave so he has to go turn it off. |
| 5:38
| Those are just some of the things Steve does around the house, it's all behind-the-scenes. It's like at Disney World where all the stuff goes on underground. Yesterday Steve had to unclog a drain, outside. |
| 5:39
| Steve just hired a landscaping guy and he wanted him to come over and deal with the drain problem. He needed some gravel to cover up the drain so it wouldn't clog but the guy said that all his workers had gone back to Mexico. |
| 5:40
| So Steve called the hardware store and had them deliver 600 pounds of pea gravel. Steve feels he artfully laid the gravel out. |
| 5:41
| Steve's driveway goes downhill which is probably a bad design. There's a drain at the end that got clogged up with leaves and it was all very cold because everything had just been frozen a few days ago.. |
| 5:42
| Steve barehanded the whole thing, it's just one of the many unsung things he does around the house. |
| 5:43
| Steve has a loaner car and the guy who used it before him left his hockey bag in the back. Steve thinks he's a coach because he had a clipboard with an ice rink on it. |
| 5:44
| All of the zippers on the bag were unzipped so Steve closed them, then took it out of his car and left it on his front porch. The guy's probably going to miss his bag eventually, especially the clipboard. |
| 5:45
| Without the clipboard how is he going to tell his players what to do? And how is he going to go to the Hawks game and yell Pee-Wee hockey tips at the players? |
| 5:46
| Steve has been getting better service at his car dealer now that he's on mornings. He can actually go there himself and get things done. He's become one of those guys who hang out at the dealer all day. |
| 5:47
| Steve's having a lot of trouble with drivers on the way in. He can't tell if the people are drunk or just crazed because they're up early coming in to work. Everyday he has at least one encounter with a crazed driver plus Steve is also crazed. |
| 5:48
| Today someone was going really slow in the left lane, which Steve thought was illegal. Why isn't anyone enforcing that? Steve's not under court supervision any more. |
| 5:49
| The driver two cars in front of Steve was going to slow. Both Steve and the guy in front of him went around the guy but then that guy still wasn't going fast enough for Steve. |
| 5:50
| So Steve tried to get around the other driver but not in a very aggressive way. But the guy didn't like that so he sped up and then they were off to the races. The guy tried to cut Steve off but he made it around him. |
| 5:56
| Was there music after that drop? Steve didn't have his headphones plugged in and then Buzz turned his mic on and Steve couldn't hear it. Was the music lovely? Hot Potato Mouth? Was it lovely? |
| 5:57
| Pete's Hot Potato Mouth is almost gone. What can we do to get it back? Buzz still hears it a little bit. It's now just Warm Potato Mouth. |
| 5:58
| Pete was actually sorry to see it go. It could have become his thing. Once the ladies heard that they'd be beating down his door. |
| 6:00
| Steve got several emails yesterday comparing Pete's voice to the son on Family Guy, Chris. |
| 6:01
| It occurred to Steve yesterday that he probably won't have to deal with severe weather or tornadoes now that he's on in the mornings. They don't have that many tornadoes in the morning right? |
| 6:02
| Pete cued up some audio of Chris from Family Guy but he doesn't have audio of Pete from yesterday. Pete sounds more like Chris today than he did yesterday. |
| 6:03
| Steve even brought Pete into his office after the show yesterday and had him talk for Todd Cavanah. Todd was trying not to laugh because he probably realized the whole thing was a Human Resources violation. |
| 6:04
| Steve also noticed that Todd was wearing what seemed like a brand new shirt, it still had the fold marks on it. He just came back from Europe where he and the girlfriend hit a bunch of outlet stores in Italy. |
| 6:05
| Caller Joe is a third shifter, he's just on his way home from work. He also notices crazy drivers in the morning as well. He was in the left lane doing the speed limit and the guy in back of him was flashing his lights. There were several cars in front of Joe though so flashing your lights is pointless. |
| 6:06
| Everyday Steve has an issue with a driver which he usually resolves in his favor, although probably not in a smart way. One of these days Steve just won't be here. The good news is that Buzz will be able to talk about it because it'll be a big story as they're cutting Steve out of his car. If we're lucky the ABC7 Chopper HD will get some great footage of the Loyola chopper taking him off the expressway. |
| 6:07
| Buzz went through his DVD collection yesterday, which isn't much of a collection now. Back in the days of VHS he was a conscientious collector, he had a lot of obscure stuff. |
| 6:08
| Buzz pulled out a bunch of titles that he's already watched and doesn't think he needs to see again. So he decided to bring them in and give them out as additional prizes to listeners. |
| 6:09
| The first 17 votes were cast in the New Hampshire primaries last night. Was that in Gobbler's Knob or whatever it's called? That's from Groundhog's Day, it's actually Dixville Notch. Barack Obama won 7 votes which is a landslide. That town is usually a good predictor of the New Hampshire primary. |
| 6:10
| Hillary got zero votes at Dixville Notch, nada, nothing. She also became emotional last night when talking to a group of women in New Hampshire. Steve thinks it's all fake. She should have had Dr. Phil with her. |
| 6:11
| But she didn't cry when the guy was heckling her with the "iron my shirt" chant? Steve thinks the heckling is fake too, she was all too ready with a snappy comeback. |
| 6:12
| "Iron my shirts" would throw Steve and he's a professional. Who would heckle her like that? First she's sensitive with all the Oprah ladies and then the sexist chant. |
| 6:13
| Why would they let a guy with an "iron my shirt" sign into the rally? |
| 6:14
| Now the speculation is running rampant about when Hillary will drop out of the race. |
| 6:15
| It doesn't seem right that Barack Obama can get elected and then decide to run for president before his term is over. Steve has a contract with CBS, they wouldn't just let him out of it to go on to bigger and better things. |
| 6:16
| Mitt Romney's still a governor isn't he? And McCain is still a Senator! Mike Huckabee isn't the governor of Arkansas any more but Steve doesn't want a president who plays bass. |
| 6:17
| Maybe that was Todd Cavanah at the Hillary rally since he needed his new shirt ironed. He meets with Eddie and Jobo too, they're going to laugh at him after he leaves because of the fold lines in his shirt. |
| 6:18
| Al Qaeda has issued a threat saying they will be in the Mideast to meet President Bush when he arrives. Will they be waiting at the baggage claim holding up a sign that says "Bush"? |
| 6:19
| Comcast will outline a new plan for how people will watch television that includes access to an almost limitless library of movies. |
| 6:20
| An off-duty McHenry County deputy was arrested and charged with speeding and DUI after she was going over 100 mph in a 40 mph zone. |
| 6:21
| The woman also refused a field sobriety test which was a good move on her part. Buzz has passed the field sobriety test but just barely. |
| 6:22
| At first the officer accused him of sucking on the Breathalyzer but after he became convinced that he wasn't, Buzz got in just under the limit. Steve has a feeling that Buzz is a bad driver even when he's completely sober. |
| 6:23
| Steve loves the car situation at the Kilman house. Aimee uses it all week and then lets Buzz use it on the weekends to drunk drive. |
| 6:24
| Caller Curt wanted to let Steve know that if you're pulled over you can refuse the field sobriety and Breathalyzer tests. Usually the whole thing is on tape so that's how they can get you in court. |
| 6:25
| One day, when Chicago starts selling their in-car footage, someone will put together an entire TV special of Buzz being pulled over. |
| 6:26
| When Steve was talking about HIllary being heckled before it reminded Curt of the time Steve was in Macomb, on stage, and someone threw a tomato at him. Steve picked it up, said "thanks, how did you know I was a vegetarian?" and then put it in his pocket. |
| 6:27
| That might have been Carbondale, Steve was down there judging an air guitar competition. What kind of life was that, driving down to Carbondale to judge an air guitar contest for money? That should be a Bakersfield story but it's not. |
| 6:34
| Steve heard Buzz yelling "I DON'T HAVE TIME!" in the hallway as the break was ending. He was doing some production work with Pete and needed to listen to something. It'll be there when he comes back though. |
| 6:35
| Pete of course had Hot Potato Mouth yesterday but it's gone away today. Buzz still hears it a little bit, as Pete keeps talking. |
| 6:36
| The most troubling thing about this story to Steve is that Pete was in pain all weekend and waited until Sunday to seek treatment at a hospital all the way on the Southside. Why didn't he just go to Northwestern? |
| 6:37
| It's like Pete wanted to get shot and thought he didn't deserve something better so he drove all the way down to the Southside. He should have just gone to Stroger Hospital, he could have been worked on by a ghost. |
| 6:38
| Pete should have just gone to the hospital right away on Friday but instead he went to an urgent care center, where the doctor misdiagnosed him as having strep. |
| 6:39
| That doctor called Pete yesterday to see how he was doing. He should have told him that he'd tell him in court, when he sued him. |
| 6:40
| Pete had some soup for dinner last night, thinking it would make him feel better. But then he wondered if the soup would also make his voice better. He shouldn't stay sick just for the voice though. Pete feels fine and he felt fine yesterday, it was just the voice. |
| 6:41
| Pete had some Progresso which you don't have to add water to. That's convenient, it just takes out the extra step of having to add water. |
| 6:42
| Steve always thought it was weird to add water to Campbell's soup he was eating. It's like stepping on your own cocaine. |
| 6:43
| Going back to that Comcast story Buzz had, under Project Infinity Comcast will over 6,000 movies through video on demand by the end of 2009, up from 1,300 now. |
| 6:44
| Steve can sort of understand Pete going to the Southside hospital because he knew the doctor. Still though, he should have just gone to Northwestern. That's where all the famous people die. |
| 6:45
| Buzz came back from Northwestern with dining tips! He had a turkey sandwich during his stay and found out where the turkey came from, it's just deli turkey. |
| 6:46
| Steve would like to once again recommend the rotisserie turkey from Dominick's. He gets one every week. Buzz is open to any and all poultry suggestions. |
| 6:52
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 6:53
| Today's live read is about Stacy, but not that Stacy. David would have the story of the year if it was though. She lives in the Gold Coast. Isn't it on the Gold Coast? |
| 6:54
| Mortgage rates are ridiculously low right now so it's probably a good time to buy a house. When Steve bought his first house the rate was around 18% |
| 6:55
| Song: Found Out About You, Gin Blossoms |
| 6:59
| That's the Gin Blossoms, Steve likes them. The lead singer killed himself. Steve will find the info, Adam was just working with his computer. |
| 7:00
| Steve had to bust some heads around here. Yesterday he got a bunch of emails that the podcast wasn't up and Jim comes in with that same dopey look on his face. Steve calls down to the newsroom. |
| 7:01
| Steve didn't even see Jim yesterday and then the podcast wasn't up for the last two hours yesterday. Jim sounds like a union guy though, he said he put them up and then he left, that's it. If it's not up, it's not up. |
| 7:02
| Then Steve had to get Brendan going on some audio from Ben Gay. He claimed there was no good sports audio. What about the BCS game last night?! |
| 7:03
| Alright, Steve's done with Jim now. He's very mopey though, he's the new Dan Falato. Even Buzz thinks he's mopey and that says a lot coming from Buzz. Buzz actually comes in in a better mood and then Jim brings him down. |
| 7:04
| Jim will try to be less mopey in the future. Steve had to ask Mary if Jim was even here yesterday because he didn't see him at all. This is always what happens the second day after we're back from vacation. Everyone is so jacked to get back that first day but on the second day it doesn't matter. Steve gets that the sun isn't even out yet though, and it's completely pitch black. |
| 7:05
| Then Steve forwards all of these podcast emails to Jim and Adam and Jim doesn't even respond. He just gets back an auto response that says "I don't take it home with me!" |
| 7:06
| Anyway, Adam's been working on Steve's computer. It literally crashed a couple of weeks ago and Steve had to have the hard drive sent in for data recovery. |
| 7:07
| Ed and Adam are often pitted against each other as computer guys. It's just like those Mac vs. PC commercials. |
| 7:08
| Steve calls down to Adam's office. Ed is out at the Consumer Electronics Show and he might view Adam as his bitch so he's been dealing with the hard drive recovery. |
| 7:09
| It costs about $3,000 to recover a hard drive which is more than the computer. Buzz remembers dealing with some hard drive recovery and he thought Ed said the service had some tenuous connection to NASA. |
| 7:10
| Ed probably just said that to cover up the fact that the data recovery was going to cost Buzz so much. Steve remembers Buzz agonizing over whether he should pay for the data recovery for a week. |
| 7:11
| Steve feels he gave Buzz some good advice when he told him to do it. Buzz had been keeping a journal for Piper to read and all of that was lost when the computer crashed. |
| 7:12
| So Steve got all the data back from his hard drive but part of the Ben Gay theme was missing, which is what Adam was looking for. |
| 7:13
| Adam has the full audio on Steve's back-up computer which Adam can bring in during the break. Steve realizes this is all computer talk and most people probably wouldn't notice something missing from the Ben Gay theme but it would derail Steve. |
| 7:14
| Steve can see why Ed and Adam don't get along sometimes, Adam's a real bossy pants. |
| 7:15
| Steve's afraid of taking a break because Adam is going to come in and kick his ass. When people tell you to back-up your hard drive, listen to them. |
| 7:16
| Two weeks and $3,000 later Steve is still trying to get some of his data back. |
| 7:17
| The sun should be coming up shortly though, sunrise is supposed to be at 7:18. It's still very dark though, Steve feels like a hobbit. We would have heard if there was no sun right? Someone would have called from New York or something. |
| 7:18
| Are hobbits the ones who live in the center of the earth? Hobbits are like Frodo from Lord of the Rings right? That's the same thing? |
| 7:19
| Steve's going to call A-Dog (Adam) because he's a nerd and he'd probably know. Plus it'll give them a chance to make up. |
| 7:20
| Adam doesn't know if Frodo is a hobbit but it sounds right. Should he know though? |
| 7:21
| Jim kid is also a nerd, Steve's just going to call him and find out. Frodo is a hobbit but they don't live in the center of the earth, just underground. |
| 7:22
| Jim doesn't know who lives at the center of the earth though. Is it the C.H.U.D.s? The Morlocks? He feels like Buzz would know. |
| 7:23
| The center of the earth is made of molten chocolate right, like when you get one of those chocolate volcano cakes. |
| 7:28
| Caller Sean has some information about Journey to the Center of the Earth. Steve |
| 7:29
| During the break Steve was accosted by Steve the engineer, who told him he was an idiot for using a Mac. Then some how Steve admitted to the engineer that he was taking Pilates classes. Steve prefers to call it extreme stretching. |
| 7:30
| Steve doesn't really want to have a conversation about Journey to the Center of the Earth, why doesn't Sean just pick a number? |
| 7:31
| There were dinosaurs living in the center of the earth in the book. The Morlocks were from H.G. Wells' Time Machine. |
| 7:32
| Buzz disputes Sean's claim that the Morlocks live at the center of the earth, they were just under the ground as far as he knows. |
| 7:33
| Live read: Whirlyball |
| 7:34
| Pete, Brendan, Jim and Ed and Penny will be at Whirlyball next Tuesday to take on two listener teams. There will also be food, drinks and Jack music, which is mostly Def Leppard. |
| 7:35
| Steve likes Jack but he hears one Def Leppard song and Middle of the Road by The Pretenders once a day. |
| 7:36
| Alright time for the web poll question of the day, "should men get Botox injections?" |
| 7:37
| Botox is not just for women any more. More and more Valley men are also getting Botox treatments. What Valley? Steve's guessing it's Arizona, they say Valley of the Sun out there. |
| 7:38
| Actually it's Las Vegas. Why not just say Las Vegas then? |
| 7:39
| Dr. Goesel Anson says that 15% of her Botox patients are male. They're often there at the insistence of their wives. That could be the next request Buzz gets from Aimee. |
| 7:40
| That's why Rolando Agnolin was getting his treatment. The reporter on this story caught up with Agnolin at his Pilates studio. Mary told Steve, after he mentioned Pilates, that he should get to the web poll. He's just being mocked now. |
| 7:41
| Steve should have never said anything about Pilates, now Steve the engineer, his doppleganger, has something over him. |
| 7:42
| Steve doesn't even know what Pilates is but there's a room for it at the gym and it's full of wooden tables. Steve figures that he won't be able to do any of it and his instructor will have to work for him. |
| 7:43
| He did get himself a pair of pants for the Pilates which he struggled to find at Sports Authority last night. They need to put little size tags on their hangers, Steve spent 2 hours looking for his size. |
| 7:44
| Todd Cavanah's outside the studio. Did he steam out that shirt from yesterday yet? |
| 7:45
| Steve doesn't know if men should get Botox though. He doesn't think he needs it. He keeps looking at old pictures of himself and it seems like he's getting younger. |
| 7:46
| Now Todd has the Pilates on Steve too. He really wishes he could have taken that back. He's being mocked in his own web poll even, by Mary. So far things aren't looking up for him. It's extreme stretching, that's what Steve is calling it. |
| 7:47
| Caller Bob is listening online in Sarasota. He wanted to let Steve know that we do still have a sun. |
| 7:54
| Alright, let's just knock off the Pilates stuff people. A man tries to improve himself and he's mocked at every turn. |
| 7:55
| Steve went out in the hallway and he was still being mocked. Steve the engineer won't go away, he's like a bad cold and he's still mocking him. Isn't something broken at B96? Can't he go mock Eddie and Jobo for a while? |
| 7:56
| Meanwhile Brendan is out there on some gay Pilates website. Based on what Steve saw it's not looking good. |
| 7:57
| Buzz is wondering what pushed Steve towards Pilates. It's that room he sees everyday, it's very intriguing. |
| 7:58
| For some reason Steve can't get it together to work out on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So he thought he'd try Pilates. It's aerobic so it'll get his heart rate up. |
| 7:59
| Buzz is pretty sure it's not aerobic. It might get his heart rate up a little bit but it's not aerobic. Steve feels that him stretching will get his heart rate up. |
| 8:00
| Pilates seems much harder than stretching out your hamstring though. Buzz has seen the room with the tables and the cables. It looks like torture which might be what drew Steve to it. |
| 8:01
| Steve doesn't want to say much more about Pilates because he doesn't want to mess it up. He did buy some workout pants for Pilates though. He looks like a Russian mob guy, or Paulie Walnuts. |
| 8:02
| Steve's having a very complicated computer issue that he can't explain. How about a song? How about some Collective Soul? |
| 8:03
| Steve likes Collective Soul but that lead singer needs to stop dying his hair. He's a 50 year old man! |
| 8:04
| Song: December, Collective Soul |
| 8:09
| Steve's computer problem was fixed in about 2 seconds. He thought his wireless mouse wasn't working but Mary came in and moved it and it was fine. |
| 8:10
| It's time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve doesn't know where we got the tacos from but they're hot and fresh. |
| 8:11
| Steve and Buzz are Taco Bell insiders but everyone else will have to wait until lunchtime. |
| 8:12
| Steve would love to have Ben Gay come in and talk about Pilates but he doesn't think he can do that and eat a taco. Or maybe he could. |
| 8:13
| Ben's here, did someone say Pilates? Maybe everyone should eat their tacos during a break and then talk about Pilates after that. |
| 8:20
| Ben would just like to say that he loves being on Jack. Loves it! |
| 8:21
| Ben wanted to correct something that Buzz's fat friend said earlier today. It's "in the Gold Coast" not "on the Gold Coast". That's what everyone says in the Gold Coast. |
| 8:22
| Ben would know because he lives there, in the Cardinal's mansion. He's a priest actually. |
| 8:23
| Alright, let's fire up the Ben Gay sports machine. That's Ben on the driving guitar in his theme by the way. |
| 8:24
| This just in, Joe Gibbs has resigned as head coach of the Washington Redskins. |
| 8:25
| Buzz is wondering if it's because of Sean Taylor. The Redskins won their last regular season game by 21 which got them into the playoffs and everyone made a big deal about it. Then they lost their playoff game by 21 points and no one said anything. |
| 8:26
| Gibbs should have been fired after that double time-out thing. He said it was a senior moment but there are no senior moments in football. |
| 8:27
| The LSU Tigers are the BCS national champs after beating Ohio State. Buzz was watching Medium when he realized the game was on. He flipped over to see what he felt was the essence of the entire game. |
| 8:28
| LSU's head coach pointed out that his was the first team with two losses to win a National Championship. That doesn't seem like something you'd want to point out. |
| 8:29
| The guy from The Best Damn Sports show hosted the pre-game and he kept saying that Ohio State's band was the best damn band. You can't say that on Fox can you? |
| 8:30
| Jack Nicklaus went to Ohio State so he was on the pre-game to talk up his alma mater. Then Shaq talked up LSU. |
| 8:31
| During the bowl games each school gets to run a commercial for itself. The U of I ad during the Rose Bowl was embarrassing compared to the USC one. |
| 8:32
| As a U of I alumnus Ben was quite embarrassed by the commercial. He was Chief Illiniwek for all four years. Back in his day he was just wearing a loin cloth as his Chief costume but as the years progressed more and more clothing was added. |
| 8:33
| Shaq was pretty funny in his intro and we have some tape of that. Ben thought he called Jack Nicklaus Shaq Nicklaus but he didn't. That was in Steve's blog too though. |
| 8:34
| Ben is being told to pick-up Pat Boyle right now but he doesn't want to. Pat's a little too skinny and lanky for Ben. |
| 8:35
| Pat's a little hurt that he's not Ben's type but that's OK. Ben's right in the middle of a sportscast right now but Pat should feel free to add anything he can think of. Ben doesn't think he'll be able to though. |
| 8:36
| The Blackhawks are in Montreal tonight to take on the Canadiens. They're at .500 now after 5 losses in a row. Buzz is still impressed by their record though. |
| 8:37
| The Red Wings only have about 8 losses for the entire season, that's much better. Four of those losses were against the Blackhawks though. |
| 8:38
| Patrick Kane assessed his first half of play in his rookie year saying it wasn't great but wasn't bad. He's also looking to take on more leadership of the team. |
| 8:39
| If you have to say you want to be a leader then you're not a leader. A leader just does it. |
| 8:40
| The Bulls host the Knicks tonight at the United Center. Luol Deng may sit out again, he's still nursing a sprained ankle. |
| 8:41
| As reported earlier Joe Gibbs will quit as coach of the Washington Redskins. The team is also expected to make a run at Bears linebacker Lance Briggs, who they tried to get in a trade last year. |
| 8:42
| Would the Redskins take back Adam Archuleta too? They can have him back for free. |
| 8:43
| Michael Vick left Virginia on Monday to enter a drug treatment program at a Kansas prison. |
| 8:44
| Wasn't Vick in prison already? Was he doing drugs in prison and that's why he's in drug treatment? |
| 8:45
| He's been in prison for several months, technically he would have detoxed already. Pat thinks it's a move by his legal team to get his sentence reduced. |
| 8:46
| You know who Ben thought was smart yesterday, Roger Clemens. He's testifying in front of Congress soon. Ben knows that Pat wants to talk about Roger Clemens so he's transitioning into it. That's how a professional does it. |
| 8:47
| Are there any openings over at Comcast? Ben has sent his tape over several times and he never hears back. Ben runs tape on his imaginary TV show with Les Grobstein and Chet Coppock. Pat will make sure the right person gets that tape. |
| 8:48
| Ben could wear a fur coat or a mesh tank top or a suit. He tried to get that Chicago Tribune Live job but it went to Dave Kaplan. How much make-up do they have to use on him to get rid of the bags under his eyes? |
| 8:49
| Ben would like to pitch Comcast on a show with him, Chet and Les. Pat feels there has to be some demographic for that group. Ben doesn't know what it is but whenever they hit it, it'll be big. He's picturing a roundtable discussion. |
| 8:50
| And Pat has some Roger Clemens audio which he'd like to play. Why is Hot Potato Mouth editing the audio though? |
| 8:51
| Pete says that we're not the only one to edit that audio. The Rocket seems a little crazy though doesn't he? |
| 8:52
| Roger Clemens also made a phone call to his former trainer, John McNamee, which he recorded. Texas is a one party consent state so Clemens didn't need to tell McNamee he was recording the call. Pat's done his research here. |
| 8:53
| Ben can see why Pete edited that audio, there was definitely some stuff in there we can't say. |
| 8:54
| It sounds to Buzz like maybe McNamee was lying about the steroids thing. He always comes down on the side of the bad guy doesn't he? |
| 8:55
| It just seems like the guy would have said he was telling the truth instead of saying "what do you want me to do?" |
| 9:02
| LIve read: Whirlyball |
| 9:03
| It's Ben's goal to one day buy himself a Whirlyball facility. That's why he needs Pat to get that show of his on the air at Comcast. |
| 9:04
| The Whirlyball event might be something Comcast would want to televise. Can Pat talk to Jim Corno about that? It's no more far-fetched than indoor football. |
| 9:05
| And now back to Ben. Where did they leave off on the roundtable discussion about sports? |
| 9:06
| McNamee had wanted Roger Clemens to call him so it didn't just come out of the blue. Ben doesn't think the call exonerates Clemens though. |
| 9:07
| "What do you want me to do?" is exactly what Ben would say in that situation. |
| 9:08
| Bobby Knight held his grandson in his arms during a post-game press conference. It's very reminiscent of Dusty Baker holding Dusty Jr. during post-game interviews. |
| 9:09
| He was actually swearing and making fun of the press when he was holding his grandson. And Pat has all that audio. |
| 9:10
| Ben finds the whole thing very troubling. Why does he have to swear in front of the kid? |
| 9:11
| Ben has a question for Pat. Is someone making Bobby Knight coach basketball? He acts like it's a prison sentence. |
| 9:12
| If Ben had a son, which he doesn't because it's biologically impossible, he wouldn't let him play for Bobby Knight. |
| 9:20
| Steve thought he'd spin some Jack music and then we'd do some news. As it turns out, the Ohio State marching band is often referred to as "the best damn band in the land" so that guy wasn't just promoting his show. Maybe that's where they got the name of the show. |
| 9:21
| Song: Photograph, Def Leppard |
| 9:25
| That's some Jack music right there. Buzz is recommending the Def Leppard made-for-TV movie, it's great. |
| 9:26
| Steve has seen some of it, it's like Spinal Tap only it's real. Buzz has only seen half of the movie, he stopped watching right after the accident. |
| 9:27
| If he's only seen half the movie why does he reference it all the time? Steve thought Buzz was the go to expert on Def Leppard. |
| 9:28
| Does Buzz have any news, other than the fact that he hasn't seen the entire Def Leppard movie that he references all the time? |
| 9:29
| For Steve's money the best band movie is the Metallica documentary. They've got the psychiatrist charging them $30,000 a week, and then Lars getting drunk and buying a really expensive painting. |
| 9:30
| News with Buzz |
| 9:31
| The small town of Dixville Notch voted first in the country's first primary. Barack Obama won in a landslide with 7 votes. Hillary got zero. |
| 9:32
| 7 votes? Why do people even cover this thing? Isn't it usually a predictor of the rest of the primary though? |
| 9:33
| Steve still thinks Hillary's crying is fake. She held those women up for 2 hours, then she cried, then she brought out the "Iron my shirt" guys. |
| 9:34
| They might not always be right in Dixville Notch. In 2004 they had Wesley Clark as the Democratic candidate. |
| 9:35
| The family of the man killed by a tiger on Christmas day at the San Francisco zoo wants a statue erected in his honor. |
| 9:36
| Steve heard there was cellphone video of the attack and that the people involved were taunting the tigers. |
| 9:37
| A new poll reveals that the majority of women would be OK with having an extra toe if they were 50 pounds lighter. |
| 9:38
| Steve would rather have a woman who was 50 pounds heavier than with an extra toe. He doesn't think he'd want to look at hat extra toe. Although there was a movie, with Peter Reigert, it took place in Ireland, and there was this really hot woman with 6 toes. Steve can't remember the name of the movie though. |
| 9:39
| Mark Knopfler did the music. It was something Hero, maybe Local Hero? Steve got to that all by himself even though he had people who can look stuff up for him. |
| 9:40
| An assistant manager at Western Beef in New York witnessed a customer shoving 7 salamis into his pants. Was he going to a club after that or something? |
| 9:41
| Steve's still waiting for his three foot summer sausage Christmas gift from Buzz. Buzz actually gave up on that due to the rising cost of summer sausages. They used to be $3 or $4 but now they're upwards of $15. Buzz can't buy all those sausages at that price, not even for Steve. |
| 9:42
| Dr. Phil has canceled a planned TV special about Britney Spears recent problems. Differing reports say that he either spoke to Britney briefly as she was leaving the hospital or that she wanted nothing to do with him and wouldn't talk to him. |
| 9:43
| The state of New Jersey has publicly apologized for slavery. So they're sorry. It doesn't seem like an entire state should apologize. If you were individually responsible for it, then you apologize. |
| 9:50
| That's some King of Queens right there, Arthur trying to pay Deacon reparations for slavery. |
| 9:51
| It seems like everyone should just move on. Sure this country started off a little rough but we're doing better now. Barack Obama is running for president! |
| 9:52
| Our standard of living has slipped though, Great Britain's is better now. Buzz certainly doesn't want to live in Great Britain, just based on the food alone. When Steve was over there with Pat it wasn't terrible. Of course traveling with Pat, all he wants to do is eat cheeseburgers. |
| 9:53
| They went to one place in London called Harry's Bar, which was supposed to be like a Chicago bar. But they're from Chicago! Steve finally put his foot down when they went to this place in Spain. |
| 9:54
| They were at this restaurant that was supposed to be one of the best in the world. Pat just sat there while Steve ate. They might have brought him some beef medallions or something. |
| 9:55
| To this day Pat will not sit at a table where someone is eating lobster, he'll just run away. Steve's theory, which still gets dismissed by his family, is that Pat developed a fear of seafood when grocery shopping with Janet. She'd stop the car right in front of the lobster tank while she got stuff from the butcher. |
| 9:56
| Of course Steve is talking to a guy who went to France and ate Italian food the whole time. Buzz had a hard time finding French in France. French food should be everywhere right?! |
| 9:57
| Buzz didn't know which place to go to and when he got there he wouldn't know what to order because it's all in French. |
| 9:58
| Steve always sticks with the concierge for problems like that. It's not a coincidence that concierge is a French word. |
| 9:59
| That Europe trip was also where Steve and Pat both got massages but somehow Pat tricked Steve into taking his massage down in the spa. |
| 10:00
| The creepiest massage Steve ever got was in his room with Matt, who was also getting a massage, at the Four Seasons in Atlanta. |
