| 5:29
| That's the hot blooded sound of Foreigner, comin' around in the windy town. It's coming in a little early but the other choice was launching into Genesis. |
| 5:30
| Steve didn't want to sit in the studio listening to Genesis for the next 4 minutes. Of course it makes Steve want to call downstairs and see what the hell happened. Buzz is noticing that his mic sounds different than normal, because Steve hasn't fully switched over yet. Are we broadcasting on a different station? |
| 5:31
| The people at Jack have from 10 am one day until 5:30 am the next day to make sure the music ends on time. It's not like there's anyone else on the air, it's just Jack making smart-ass comments in between Def Leppard and Pretenders songs. |
| 5:32
| Every time Steve turns on Jack he hears a Pretenders song. And lately he's been getting a Nickelback song that he can play everyday if he wants. Is he suddenly the Nickelback guy? |
| 5:33
| Steve's trying to call Penny but is there any way she can just talk on the air? Or does she not have a mic? There is a mic, but it's not hooked up. That's Todd Cavanah right there. |
| 5:34
| None of this is Penny's fault because she gets in when Steve gets in. She needs to start cracking the whip when she gets in though. It's probably too late when she gets there. |
| 5:35
| Penny had a long talk about ending things on time with Todd yesterday. Steve feels the problem is that everyone down there is afraid of dropping a song. How hard is it to finish the music at 5:30? Steve's always done at 10 am and he talks about a variety of subjects, often without knowing what they are before hand. |
| 5:36
| He's always done at 10 so they can start the hour of commercial-free music, which seems like an apology for what just happened. They play an hour of Bryan Adams, Def Leppard and The Pretenders with an occasional Duran Duran song and if you're lucky Frankie Goes to Hollywood. It's music to expose yourself to other men to in a public washroom. |
| 5:37
| Steve doesn't really even care but for some reason it bugs him that some knucklehead making $6 an hour can't count. Steve feels it's some sort of passive-aggressive "I hate Steve Dahl" thing but he thinks that about everything. |
| 5:38
| Steve would feel the same way if he was up all night playing music and then Steve just strolls in and starts complaining about going on early, and making it funny. Then his sidekick starts complaining about how he sounds. That's the lovable curmudgeon that we know as Buzz. |
| 5:39
| There is a button Steve needs to press but it's hard to reach and he just didn't do it yet. Steve had some trouble falling asleep last night so he's just trying to regroup. |
| 5:40
| Steve's not sure what happened but he did fall asleep in the afternoon. That Alan Krashefsky puts him to sleep. |
| 5:41
| How are things going with Hot Potato Mouth today? Things are almost back to normal but he still sounds like Chris from The Family Guy. |
| 5:42
| Steve watched the Hawks game, because he's trying to embrace winter. They lost in overtime which infuriated Steve and probably gave him a shot of adrenaline. |
| 5:43
| Then Steve had to watch the Fox 32 news at 9 which he really doesn't like. They should just air another Simpsons episode because it's clear they don't really have news. |
| 5:44
| Steve enjoyed the special report about how fattening breakfast foods are. The reporter came down really hard on the bagel but she also pointed out that breakfast sandwiches with sausage and eggs are also bad. Duh! |
| 5:45
| Mark and Robin were both shocked at how fattening breakfast foods are for you. It's like they became bulimic right there. Steve meant to bring something to Pete's attention last night, then he was going to do it this morning when he got in but he fell asleep on his couch. |
| 5:46
| At one point the reporter, Margaret Shortridge (Shortribs) mispronounced the word "latte". It was a taped piece though, you think they could have just corrected her. |
| 5:47
| The other day Steve had to call the Porsche dealer so he dialed information, since he can never remember the number. When Steve said Westmont Porsche the guy, who was African-American, asked him if it was a residence or a business. |
| 5:48
| At first Steve didn't understand how that could be a residence but then it occurred to him that Portia is a black name. So maybe the guy thought Steve was trying to call someone named Portia Westmont. |
| 5:49
| Pete has the audio ready to go which is impressive for a guy with Hot Potato Mouth. Pete just giggled, like a girl who forgot to wear her panties. He heard Steve mention Hot Potato Mouth in his headphones, that's why he giggled. |
| 5:50
| Shortridge said latte with a long A sound. She was probably trying really hard not to say scon instead of scone. |
| 5:51
| Steve just watched something about coffee on National Geographic Channel the other day. He likes that channel because of Caesar the Dog Whisperer. |
| 5:52
| There was a part of the coffee show about Starbucks, which was founded by three guys as a coffee roasting business. One guy went to Europe and came back with the idea for a coffee house but another guy left because he just wanted to sell beans. That was probably a big mistake. |
| 5:53
| Didn't one of the Apple Computer guys leave before the company really took off? He might have actually killed himself because of that. Steve's still mad that he bought Apple stock when it was $7 and then sold way too early. He could have a jet right now. Whenever he thinks about that he wants to drive his car into the lake. |
| 5:54
| Steve passes a lot of bars that are still open on the way to work, in the Summit and McCook area. It makes the hairs on the back of his neck stand up but on the other hand would it be so bad for him to come in with a load on? |
| 5:55
| Steve also learned, on a National Geographic Channel special, that "get a load on" is a moonshine term. It means you have a load of moonshine on the back of your truck. |
| 5:58
| If you go to the Fox 32 website there's video of the Margaret Shortridge breakfast piece. Also on the page, an ad for McDonald's breakfast, which seems like a waste of money for them. |
| 5:59
| Who wouldn't know that McDonald's breakfast sandwiches, with eggs and sausage and bacon, is fattening? Most people probably know that going in. |
| 6:00
| Bagels are a misleading breakfast food, there are a ton of calories in those even before you add the toppings. Muffins also have a lot of calories. |
| 6:01
| Buzz figured muffins weren't great for you because he likes them so much. He tries to stay away from them though. It's not like Steve checks Buzz out very often, but it doesn't seem like he's having any weight issues. He has no ass. |
| 6:02
| And again, Steve's not checking Buzz out, it's just that he prowls around the halls like a panther. Buzz dropped about 20 pounds which sent his blood pressure plummeting. |
| 6:03
| The good news is that Steve found those 20 pounds if Buzz wants them back. Steve's been having some weight issues since he started doing mornings. That's because the rest of the day is a free-for-all. |
| 6:04
| Yesterday Steve went to Al's to get a combo, dipped. It's also a Nancy's Pizza so Steve wandered over to check out that menu, which was a mistake. They have a pizza with bacon and Alfredo sauce on it. If he had just planned a head he could have been having that. |
| 6:05
| Steve somehow tricked himself into thinking the combo, with sweet peppers, was balanced. He also thought it was his only meal of the day even though it wasn't. Steve snacks all day long. |
| 6:06
| It's time for the web poll question of the day, "were you ever hot for teacher?" Steve might have been hot for his third grade teacher, and maybe others. |
| 6:06
| The third grade teacher is the one Steve really remembers, Mrs. Endicott. She was also nice to him and 3rd grade was tough for him. He was in a class that combined smart third graders and dumb 4th graders which as you can imagine was not a good mix. |
| 6:07
| Steve's not sure who's idea that was but it was pitched to him as an accomplishment. The dumb 4th graders are usually the big ones who can beat you up. It was like being in prison. |
| 6:08
| Of course by the time Steve got to 4th grade he totally dominated everyone else and beat the hell out of David Lee Roth on a regular basis. |
| 6:09
| A student at Westfield High School in Texas was charged with sexual abuse of a child. An assistant principal entered the classroom of 10th grade English teacher Shannon Hrozek and found her doing something to a 16-year-old student. |
| 6:10
| The principal was informed by a janitor that Hrozek and a student were locked in a classroom with the lights off. That just means they want to be alone. |
| 6:11
| When you're 16 this is all you're thinking about. Let's just call it sex ed. Plus her hands were free to write on the blackboard. |
| 6:12
| In other teacher/student news, Beth Ann Chester, a 26-year-old teacher at Moon Area High School in Pennsylvania admitted to having sex with a student. Hrozek isn't bad but Chester is much cuter. Neither of them are as hot as Debra LaFave though. |
| 6:13
| Chester is also accused of sending nude photos of herself to a 14-year-old freshmen. Imagine sitting in class and a nude photo comes in on your cellphone. |
| 6:14
| Is all of this part of No Child Left Behind? It's No Child Left a Virgin, that's the new plan. |
| 6:22
| Steve went to an all-boys prep school in California and there were two things going on there. There was a male Latin teacher having sex with some students but no one ever ratted him out. There was also a student who's dad was a teacher at the school. |
| 6:23
| Some of the other students were having sex with the student's mom. So they're having sex with their friends mom and their math teacher's wife. The teacher then killed himself when he found out. That's your only choice, other than killing her and going to jail. |
| 6:24
| None of it was very discreet because Steve knew about it and he wasn't involved in it. Then one day Steve saw two dudes getting it on in the shower and that's when he decided to go back to public school. |
| 6:25
| The prep school was paired up with an all-girls school and they'd be bussed in for dances. However the girls school was across from another boys school and they all had boyfriends so there was no interest at all. |
| 6:26
| Buzz has a feeling that a lot of stuff goes on at private schools that doesn't go on at public schools. |
| 6:27
| Buzz is surprised he's never seen a scenario like the wife of the teacher having sex with students in a movie. |
| 6:28
| News with Buzz |
| 6:29
| The big news of course is Hillary Clinton squeaking out a victory in New Hampshire after Barack Obama's landslide in Dixville Notch. Steve said yesterday that the crying jag was fake, and it was. |
| 6:30
| The guys chanting "iron my shirt" was also fake. Steve saw Hillary's campaign manager on CNN yesterday and he was referring to the crying as a "humanizing episode". The fact that he's describing it like that means it's fake. |
| 6:31
| The "iron my shirts" is fake because she knew to turn the lights on and then had a snappy comeback. And it worked because it brought all the woman back to her side after Oprah took them for Obama. |
| 6:32
| Last night she said she found her voice but really it just means she tricked women into voting for her. She kept those ladies waiting two hours for breakfast. She should have been apologizing but instead she's crying. |
| 6:33
| Steve's not saying he's for or against Hillary but it's trickery. Meanwhile Barack Obama said he's not giving up. Barack gives a good speech and he did his before Hillary, right at a time when it was running into the 10 pm news. |
| 6:34
| John McCain came out the winner for the Republicans with Mitt Romney coming in second. Mitt Romney seems like a guy who's going to sell you a car. Let's take a look at the '09 models, OK? |
| 6:35
| Buzz points out that Romney has that great Terry Hardin head of hair. For all the new listeners, Terry Hardin was the former General Manager at WCKG. He had a great head of hair and he called Steve dude, which was always disconcerting. He also loved fish tacos. |
| 6:36
| Steve has some more info about "iron my shirt." People in the conservative blogosphere discovered immediately that it was a radio stunt. It wasn't reported that way in the MSM though. This is coming from Newsbusters. |
| 6:37
| The New York Daily News did some digging and found out that "iron my shirt" was two radio geeks trying to do a radio stunt. |
| 6:38
| It turns out that the two "iron my shirt" guys work for Boston station WBCN 104.1 FM and the Toucher and Rich Show. |
| 6:39
| Steve still thinks that Hillary knew those guys were out there and used it to her advantage. Usually they kick you out of a political rally if they don't like what you're saying. |
| 6:40
| Would Buzz like to hear more about the Toucher & Rich Show? Many gags on the show focus on trying to find one of the "iron my shirt" guys a girlfriend. They also have him interview celebrities in his tongue-tied fashion. |
| 6:41
| Still though, that crying is fake. She doesn't cry, Bill probably cries more than she does. He's still trying to work himself out of the doghouse. |
| 6:42
| Buzz feels that this campaign will finally get him out, even if she doesn't win. You can see he's already starting to get out. |
| 6:43
| Pirates of the Caribbean was the big winner at the People's Choice Awards. How can they have a ceremony with the writer's strike still going on? |
| 6:44
| Did Buzz see Britney getting a flat tire? She didn't know what to do so she kept driving on the rim. She finally stopped and got a tow, then got a ride with some paparazzi. |
| 6:45
| Steve also saw that Britney's having a relationship with a married paparazzi. He says he has nude photos of her that he wants to sell for $1 million. This is what happens when you're done with work by 10 am and sitting at home all day. You watch Extra at 6:30 because you don't want to watch Wheel of Fortune and forget that King of Queens is on. |
| 6:46
| Apparently the paparazzi's wife encouraged her husband to have a relationship with Britney in hopes of getting nude photos. Why does Steve need to know this? Then he started actually feeling bad for her. He'd probably try to sell the photos too though. |
| 6:47
| Katrina victims are putting a price on their suffering. The Army Corps is being sued by various people for billions or quadrillions of dollars. |
| 6:48
| Steve's pretty sure you can't sue the Army Corps, which is the main problem. They can just do whatever they want. |
| 6:49
| Eminem spent the holidays in a hospital and apparently he's weighing in well over 200 pounds. |
| 6:50
| Buzz is also recommending the Mega M & M's, they're the size of half a golf ball. It sounds like something you could choke on though. |
| 6:57
| So Hillary had her humanizing moment where she cried. That sounds robotic though. Humanizing is something you do to a robot. |
| 6:58
| Steve usually likes to stay out of the political fray but he doesn't like to be manipulated like that. Of course that's what it's all about but at least Steve can point it out. |
| 6:59
| Of course then those two radio idiots play right into her hands. The story Steve read said "iron my shirt" was feminist rally cry. Steve and Buzz don't remember that but they might have been too young. |
| 7:00
| Or maybe they were just paying more attention to the women burning their bras and trying to figure out how the whole thing could benefit them. |
| 7:01
| Song: How to Save a Life, The Fray |
| 7:04
| Steve's trying to play three songs a day but sometimes he doesn't care if the songs tie in. As Steve was playing that song he wished he had something that tied in but then he found something. Buzz thought it was just an homage to sensitivity. |
| 7:05
| Steve thinks another reason Hillary won in New Hampshire is because of all the stuff that said she was done. As Steve learned on MSNBC last night, most of the voters in New Hampshire were women. |
| 7:06
| Dateline Colombo, Sri Lanka. A 15-year-old Boy Scout of the Maldives is being hailed for foiling an assassination attempt on the president of his island nation. |
| 7:07
| Mohammed Jaisham Ibrahim (didn't he drive Buzz's cab today?) was wearing his blue Maldives scout uniform with a blue kerchief, waiting to great President Maumoon Gayoom when the attack occurred. That sounds like a sweet scout uniform, Steve looks great in blue. |
| 7:08
| Maumoon Gayoom is a great name for a president too. Imagine the signs that just say Gayoom on them. |
| 7:09
| President Gayoom wasn't hurt in the attack but his shirt was ripped according to spokesman Mohammed Shareef (Shareef don't like it, rock the Casbah). |
| 7:10
| Steve's not sure if he's saying Maldives correctly but he has an online pronunciation. With any luck it'll be the voice of Garry Meier saying Maldives. |
| 7:11
| Boy Scouts in Maldives are similar to their U.S. counterparts. Do they have sex with their scout leaders too? |
| 7:12
| Didn't Buzz have a run-in with his scout leader. Buzz's scout leader came onto anyone but he managed to avoid it. |
| 7:13
| Didn't Buzz have to carry rocks around in his underpants though? That doesn't seem like avoiding anything, plus the scout leader smartly framed it as a punishment. |
| 7:14
| Authorities in the Maldives say it's too early to say whether or not the assassination attempt was politically motivated. |
| 7:15
| Did Buzz happen to see the video of the Iranian guys on the MIami Vice speed boats? |
| 7:16
| Steve's going to take a break so Pete can find it but it's pretty good. These guys wandered into U.S. controlled waters. Instead of just blowing the boats out of the water the Navy just kindly asked them to leave. |
| 7:17
| Meanwhile the Iranian guys are on a loudspeaker saying they're going to come back and blow them all up. |
| 7:25
| Steve has the speed boat thing, from a CNN story. He's just going to play that, it's funny. |
| 7:26
| How can we be in a war on terror and also be politically correct? If a bunch of speed boats are circling a destroyer in the Straits of Hormuz, they need to be blown out of the water. |
| 7:27
| The boats are circling and the Navy is just honking their horn. Does the Iranian navy only have speedboats? |
| 7:28
| The Navy couldn't be nicer to these guys and they just keep threatening to blow them up. |
| 7:29
| It took 30 minutes before the Navy boat decided it was going to fire on the Iranians. It should have only taken 30 seconds! |
| 7:30
| The Iranians are saying we faked the whole thing which doesn't make sense. Why would we fake that? |
| 7:31
| What else is Iran going to say anyway? It's not very impressive when a few of your speedboats go up against the U.S. Navy and nothing happens. |
| 7:32
| Those guys probably had a great story to tell when they got back to their local bar or wherever it is they hang out. |
| 7:33
| It seems dangerous not to fire on the Iranians. Buzz just saw The Kingdom, at the end of that movie one of those small boats just hooks a left and blows up a U.S. ship. |
| 7:34
| Caller Steve reminds Steve of the U.S.S. Cole explosion. And that was just a little dingy that blew that boat up. You'd think after that the U.S. Navy would fire on all small boats. |
| 7:35
| Caller Steve doesn't know which character he likes better, Steve's Iranian guy or Drew Peterson. The good news is that Drew went to Disney World over the holidays and he did not have a great time. |
| 7:36
| Song: Bolingbrookville, Steve Dahl |
| 7:40
| Before Steve switches into Drew Peterson mode, a few more things. The Iranian Navy has traditionally been the smallest branch of their Armed Forces. |
| 7:41
| Their main task is to guard Iran's coasts and ports. It's like the Coast Guard but without the cool movie with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher. |
| 7:42
| Steve watched The Guardian because he's a guy and it's a guy movie but he couldn't believe that ending. Can Steve ruin it for Buzz? It is a few years old. |
| 7:43
| First of all, The Guardian is like Officer and a Gentlemen meets Top Gun meets Spongebob Squarepants. The guardian in the movie is actually a dead Kevin Costner. |
| 7:44
| Costner's character dies saving someone and at the end Ashton Kutcher saves a bunch of people. While they were waiting to be saved they were told by some mystery man that everything would be OK. C'mon! It's like Kevin Costner is Poseidon all of the sudden. |
| 7:45
| Steve liked the movie but the ending was very unsatisfying. The whole thing was all real with the helicopters and the boats, it can't end with the spirit of Kevin Costner haunting the Bering Straits. |
| 7:46
| Steve would have been very happy with Ashton Kutcher saving Kevin Costner the way Costner saved him. Or if he's going to die, just let him be dead. Don't make him a ghost saving people. That sounds like a Kevin Costner rewrite to Buzz. |
| 7:47
| At the end of the movie Steve yelled out "That's the guardian?!" From time to time Steve yells that at the end of a movie. At the end of Fight Club he yelled out "They're the same guy?!" and at the end of Sophie's Choice he yelled "That's the choice?!" |
| 7:48
| So that's the Iranian Navy, speedboats. How can they say we made it up when their Navy is guy's in speedboats? |
| 7:55
| It turns out that Ashton Kutcher had a terrible secret in The Guardian. He was part of a swimming relay team and the rest of his teammates had been killed in a crash. |
| 7:56
| They bonded over survivor's guilt because members of Kevin Costner's Coast Guard crew were also killed. |
| 7:57
| Steve sure knows how to ruin a movie though but it deserves to be ruined because of that guardian crap. There is still plenty of good stuff before that though. |
| 7:58
| In Top Gun that crap doesn't happen. They shoot down some planes, they play shirtless volleyball and everyone's happy. Sure Goose dies but he doesn't become a spirit saving shipwrecked sailors. |
| 7:59

| 8:00
| Alright it's time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve realizes he's sitting on some Drew Peterson and he'll get to that. |
| 8:01
| Steve and Buzz had tacos yesterday but they can't have tacos everyday. Buzz was disappointed when he learned there would be no tacos today. |
| 8:02
| Steve feels that he's come up with something that will revolutionize the leftover taco industry. Steve has mentioned his invention to the local Taco Bell people. |
| 8:03
| I's also Taco Packet Wednesday and Steve has some ideas for some saying he'd like to see on sauce packets. |
| 8:04
| OK, on to the Drew Peterson. Should he have his theme music playing or is that only for Ask Drew? |
| 8:05
| Dateline Bolingbrook, Illinois. Drew Peterson drove his family to Orlando to spend a week in Disney World. That's nice. |
| 8:06
| That's who Drew is, he's a Parrothead, a former cop, a lover and a parent. He's everything, plus he thought there'd be some hot tail in Orlando or maybe Stacy herself. |
| 8:07
| Drew got a lot of dirty looks in Orlando and one guy even called him Scott Peterson. That guy got arrested though, plus Laci was pregnant. |
| 8:08
| Drew's hard up for a broad right now too. He probably brought the kids because they attract women. WIthout them he could have been at Pleasure Island every night. |
| 8:09
| 4 kids is too many to bring though, that was the problem. No women is going to be attracted to that many kids. |
| 8:10
| Only bring one kid and bring a younger one too. The older kids just sit there listening to their iPods with bad attitudes. |
| 8:11
| Unlike Scott Peterson, Drew hasn't been charged with doing anything to his missing wife. He did admit to getting her a boob job and some hair removal. Before it was like making out with Chewbacca. |
| 8:12
| Drew has repeatedly claimed that Stacy ran off with another man and that claim was bolstered by an anonymous letter he said he received on Sunday. |
| 8:13
| In the letter an anonymous man claims he spotted Stacy at a mall in Kentucky. Stacy loved to shop so that's fitting. She had two t-shirts, one that said "Shop 'til you drop" and one that said "Shopaholic". That's exhibit A and exhibit B right there. |
| 8:14
| Not only did the man talk to Stacy but he also snapped a photo of her with his camera phone. |
| 8:15
| The letter writer explains that he/she is afraid of going public because of media scrutiny. |
| 8:16
| In the letter he/she says ""Fox News has a (sic) evil woman named Kimberly Guilfoyle and she is an ex-prosecutor and she is attacking you..." Why is it [sic]? What's spelled incorrect? |
| 8:17
| The letter writer also said he called the Boone County Sheriff's department and was told they wouldn't help "that crooked cop" if the sighting was true. |
| 8:18
| Drew is very close to taking more flying lessons and becoming a commercial airline pilot. |
| 8:19
| Stacy Peterson's family claimed she didn't have time for an extramarital affair. Drew's attorney, Freckle Face Brodsky, claims otherwise. "There's always room for Jell-O" he said. |
| 8:20
| No anonymous letters have surfaced regarding Drew sightings at Disney World but he says plenty of people recognized him. |
| 8:21
| Drew's notoriety didn't seem to negatively affect his children either. The little ones are oblivious to it and the older ones blow it off according to Drew. |
| 8:30
| Pat Boyle is on the phone. It's good to hear Drew Peterson back on the air, he also took a hiatus. |
| 8:31
| People asked Drew where he was going and he said "I'm going to Disney World." He thought he'd be paid for saying it but they tried to ban him. |
| 8:32
| Pat loves how Drew picks the low-traffic place for vacation. It was between Disney and Times Square. |
| 8:33
| So Goose Gossage was elected into the Hall of Fame, he's the only guy who got in this year. It seems like the whole Hall of Fame thing has gone off the tracks if he's the only guy getting in. Didn't he pitch in the 70's? |
| 8:34
| It seems like at least 2 people should go in every year. Rick Telander was so distraught over the steroids thing that he couldn't bring himself to vote for anyone. Get over yourself! |
| 8:35
| Cooperstown is just a little town with a stupid building but people act like they're walking through the gates of heaven. It's a tourist trap. Maybe that'll be Drew's next vacation spot. He sort of looks like Goose Gossage. |
| 8:36
| When does the Veteran's Committee vote? Steve would like to have his TiVo set up for when Ron Santo gets the call that he's not getting in again. |
| 8:37
| Meanwhile Andre Dawson, who deserves to get in, falls 50 votes shy because guys like Rick Telander couldn't bring himself to vote for anyone. He's the Hawk, vote him in! What did he do? He's not involved in any of this steroids stuff. |
| 8:38
| The good thing about the Broadcast Hall of Fame is that it doesn't exist so you don't have to feel bad about not getting in. |
| 8:39
| Buzz is wondering if there's any advantage to being in the Baseball Hall of Fame. You probably make more money at baseball card shows and when you speak on the rubber chicken circuit. |
| 8:40
| For the Broadcast Hall of Fame someone else has to nominate you. One year Steve got sucked into that by Jeff Schwartz and Harvey Wells. Instead of getting in they voted Scott Shannon in and that guy is horrible. That's when Steve decided he didn't even want to be in it. |
| 8:41
| The Blackhawks and Bulls both lost last night. Everyone said the Bulls would win because it's the Knicks, who had previously only won one road game. Now they've won 2. |
| 8:42
| Cowboys fans are in an uproar after Tony Romo apparently spent the bye week in Mexico with Jessica Simpson. He's a pretty good QB, it doesn't seem like he needs to spend the bye week looking at tapes. |
| 8:43
| Tony and Jessica were in Cancun but that's not where Pat Dahl was on his honeymoon. Pat was in Cabo at Las Pamillas which is the sweetest resort Steve has ever seen. |
| 8:44
| Every time the show was down in Cabo Steve wondered why he wasn't staying at Las Pamillas. That's where the Charlie Trotter restaurant is. They would forcibly put Steve back on the bus when he asked why he wasn't staying at Las Pamillas. |
| 8:45
| Nike is releasing their 23rd pair of Air Jordans and it could possibly be the last one. Pat recommends them for Steve's Pilates class. |
| 8:46
| That Pilates is hard but everyone keeps making fun of Steve about it. He definitely broke a sweat doing it. |
| 8:47
| He doesn't even know how to describe it because he was using muscles he didn't even know he had. |
| 8:48
| Steve doesn't want to talk about it too much though because he doesn't want to ruin it for himself. He doesn't need people like Buzz looking in on him. |
| 8:54
| Cabo in my pants, Friday Night Lights. That show is finally on Friday nights, hopefully there are some new shows to watch though. |
| 8:55
| Buzz is recommending BBC America. Steve does watch Kitchen Nightmares on there with Gordon Ramsay. |
| 8:56
| Steve calls down to the Weather Center, Jim's our TV expert. Pete would probably object to that but he's currently tied up with Bob and Ron, literally. Steve only goes to Pete with chick shows like Grey's Anatomy or Scrubs or Gilmore Girls. |
| 8:57
| Friday Night Lights is not done yet, the last episode is February 9th. That show is so good though. Jim loved the last episode, he thought it was the best one of the season. Steve's just glad it's finally on Friday nights. |
| 8:58
| Friday Night Lights hasn't been canceled yet, nothing has except Journeyman. That one was Steve's second-favorite show, it seems like a mistake. That show is better than Heroes at this point. |
| 8:59
| Buzz saw Jim stop by the studio before the show for some small talk. Jim's version of small talk is telling Steve there's news audio in the CD player and then trying to force a smile. |
| 9:00
| Live read: Whirlyball |
| 9:01
| Pete, Brendan, Jim and Ed, along with Penny down in the Jack studios will be at Whirlyball next Tuesday. |
| 9:02
| What is Penny' title, is she a board op? Maybe Steve should just call her, that seems like the easiest thing to do. |
| 9:03
| Steve accidentally called Adam's office although he doesn't mind saying hello. Adam's a hard worker, he works all day. It's good to have people like that around, it's almost like having a slave. Except Adam likes it so Steve doesn't get in trouble with the law. |
| 9:04
| Steve and Penny ran into each other in the lobby this morning. They both carded in at the same time and their photos came up on the security computer like it was a Kiss Cam. |
| 9:05
| Steve was afraid of running into Eric Ferguson this morning. When he came in a Land Rover pulled into the parking lot. That has an Eric Ferguson feel to it, it's a chick car. |
| 9:06
| Penny's not sure what her title would be. How about Level Rider? As long as she doesn't mind we could get that printed up on business cards. |
| 9:07
| Alright, time now for Bob and Ron. Even though Buzz doesn't like to talk Bob and Ron say hello anyway. They just figured they'd give it a shot since it's the new year and all. |
| 9:08
| It's presumptuous of Bob and Ron to think they could change Buzz. If anyone's going to change Buzz it's going to be Steve. |
| 9:09
| Steve likes when it takes Bob and Ron a minute or so to figure out what's going on. Rock history of course. |
| 9:10
| Of course it was Elvis birthday yesterday. Did Buzz play in any Elvis spectaculars? Buzz was invited to play but it's been downgraded to the Beverly Arts Center, from the House of Blues. |
| 9:11
| Today is Jimmy Page's birthday, he's 64 years old. He was born in 1944 though, the same year as Buzz. Buzz is only 63 though. |
| 9:12
| OK, back to Bob and Ron. It feels like Steve is talking to them on delay or something, as if he's conducting an interview with them from a military base on the Mideast. |
| 9:13
| They're much closer though, which is frightening. Every time Steve walks by Pete's studio Bob tries to make eye contact to draw him in for a hug or something. |
| 9:14
| It's also Robbie Krieger's birthday from The Doors. |
| 9:15
| Song: Peace Frog, The Doors |
| 9:18
| What's with the ending on that song? Is that some unauthorized version of the song or something? |
| 9:19
| Steve and Buzz both bit hard on the false ending too. Bob feels it keeps DJs on their toes. |
| 9:20
| Alright Bob and Ron will be here next week, maybe. Really it was 50/50 if Steve was going to turn their mics on after the song. He's glad he did, they really added a lot. |
| 9:21
| Steve went into Pete's studio during the song because Bob and Ron seemed extra loud and irritating. Pete told them their levels were the same as always. Can't he just say "yes", even if he's just placating Steve? |
| 9:22
| They're probably just jacked up because they don't have a show any more, plus we didn't get to them until after 9 so they're even more jacked. This is probably just Pete's revenge for Hot Potato Mouth. |
| 9:23
| Couldn't Pete just say something like "good ear Stever" or something like that. Instead it's just "no, it's the same as always" |
| 9:27
| Chef Hans is here for Meat Talk. Hans was about to make some announcement to Steve during Peace Frog but then he thought the song was ended. |
| 9:28
| They had a Blackhawks alumnus meeting at Smith & Wollensky recently. Hans didn't play for the Blackhawks but he was the team chef for many years. He took care of those guys for a long time. |
| 9:29
| Hans is an associate member and his next step is to make Steve a member. Is this another club Steve will belong to? Will have to dress up in his tux? As it turns out he doesn't mind dressing up. |
| 9:30
| Hans thought Steve looked smashing at the wedding in his tux. Whenever Steve dresses up and people tell him how great he looks it just makes him wonder what he looks like normally. |
| 9:31
| March 7th will be Stan Mikita/Bobby Hull day at the United Center. One of the first things John McDonough did as team president was hire those two as official team ambassadors. |
| 9:32
| Steve feels the smartest thing the Hawks have done recently is buy that Rockford minor league team. It's great competition against the Wolves who are in the league. |
| 9:33
| The Hawks also announced that they're going to have a fan convention in July. Didn't they announce that before? |
| 9:34
| Hans would like Steve to come to the next alumni meeting and say a few words. A few words or a few Wirtz? Does he want Steve to just get up there and name members of the Wirtz family? |
| 9:35
| Hans thanks Steve for his business over the holidays. Steve's going to start basing himself out of Smith & Wollensky. |
| 9:36
| They had the rehearsal dinner for Pat's wedding at S & W and then Steve took the staff there after they went to Terry's wake. |
| 9:37
| Buzz was fawning over Chef because his steak-cooking experience was so great. |
| 9:38
| What Hans doesn't know about Buzz is that everything he does is his first time. He gets excited about everything he does the first time and then after that you don't hear about it. If Buzz does it again it won't be as good as the first time. That's the nature of Buzz, he likes to peak early and then be disgruntled about it. |
| 9:39
| Hans' next goal is to get Buzz cooking steaks on a Webster. Buzz isn't even sure if he has the Webster any more. |
| 9:40
| Cooking is not complicated according to Hans. If you have the love in your hands then you can do it. Hans was just reading a story about a pilot who gave up his career to open a restaurant. Now he owns a successful restaurant in Switzerland. What's his specialty, the Hangar Steak? The landing strip steak. |
| 9:41
| Buzz was also telling Hans about how he wanted to open a restaurant. You'd go to Buzz's restaurant and everyday the food would get worse and the host would get meaner. It's called the law of diminishing returns, live it! |
| 9:42
| Last night Buzz made gravy for the first time. This is what Hans doesn't understand, everything is a first time for him. He made gravy for a pot roast that Aimee made. Wasn't there another gravy issue involving something Aimee made? |
| 9:43
| Aimee doesn't like gravy so she doesn't make gravy. Gravy is really easy to make though and it really added to the pot roast. Steve is also from a gravyless marriage and it's not good. |
| 9:44
| How bad can gravy be for you, it's just some butter and flour. When Steve makes a gravy he combines the butter and flour first and then cooks it in the microwave. It gets rid of the flour taste early on. Hans is going to try that out. |
| 9:50
| News with Buzz |
| 9:51
| Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary, confounding pundits and pollsters who had her trailing Barack Obama. |
| 9:52
| Hillary said she found her own voice in the last week. By that she means she figured out that crying will get her votes. She also stocked her audience with chauvinists. |
| 9:53
| That Barack Obama sure throws down a good speech though. Steve's not sure if he'd vote for him though. |
| 9:54
| John McCain also unexpectedly won in New Hampshire, beating out Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. |
| 9:55
| The Spears family is criticizing Dr. Phil for his attempt to stage a TV special about Britney. |
| 9:56
| The family initially thought it was a good idea but then decided against it. Then behind their back Dr. Phil tried to visit Britney himself. |
| 9:57
| The Amazing Kreskin is continuing to offer his help in finding Stacy Peterson. He's also said however that he doesn't need permission to look for her. |
| 9:58
| Should we have the Amazing Kreskin on the show? We could have him bend spoons or something. |
| 9:59
| Finally, we find out why Britney had her meltdown over the weekend. She felt she still had another 2 hours of visitation with her kids but Kevin Federline denied it. |
| 10:00
| As Steve learned yesterday when he was accidentally watching Access Hollywood, Britney was having an affair with a married paparazzi who's wife suggested the whole thing. |
| 10:01
| Now he claims to have photos of Britney nude that he's trying to sell. How does Britney let that happen? |
