| 5:30
| That's America, not that Steve has to tell Buzz that he loves America. Steve loves America the country, the state of mind and the band. |
| 5:31
| That was Sister Golden Hair, always a good song to hear. It's one of Steve's favorites actually. Buzz probably doesn't like it, he thinks it's lame-ass music. Maybe Buzz just doesn't get it. Maybe he never had a pair of desert boots. |
| 5:32
| Buzz had desert boots but maybe he didn't have the right pair. Buzz feels it's easy listening but Steve thinks it's desert boot rock. |
| 5:33
| Sister Golden Hair was written by Gerry Beckley. Steve jammed with Gerry on that song. There ended up being a lot of talk about the on-air jam though. |
| 5:34
| Steve used to be involved with WTTW's Soundstage. By involved he means he came up with the idea and then it got perverted and turned into this big-ass deal. Steve wanted it to be really intimate. |
| 5:35
| Steve's accountant, Ron Lewis, was also the accountant for Soundstage. He got in the middle of it with Dan Falato who was producing the show at the time. |
| 5:36
| Steve was going to play the slide part one way but then he was told that Gerry liked to play a different version of the song. |
| 5:37
| Plus Steve's friend Joe Thomas was there filming the whole thing so there was that as well. |
| 5:38
| Steve could have played it really cool but it didn't happen that way. Of course Pete's probably grabbing it right now. |
| 5:39
| Steve got out of Soundstage when their debt ran up a couple of million dollars. Steve couldn't have his name on that. |
| 5:40
| Steve might have got out when they hired a G4 to fly Tom Petty in so he could smoke cigarettes the whole time. |
| 5:41
| Pete's grabbing the song right now. He does have the day before when Steve was practicing it and nailed it. |
| 5:42
| Is there anyway that Pete could overlay Steve nailing it with jam he did with Gerry Beckley? |
| 5:43
| In the meantime Steve has some info about the song. Sister Golden Hair was on America's fifth album Hearts. |
| 5:44
| The song is about a man trying to get up the courage to take his girlfriend to the alter to marry her. He is however plagued by self-doubt. |
| 5:45
| Some criticized the song for pleading for common law marriage. How could you take a song like SIster Golden Hair and turn it into that? |
| 5:46
| Pete is still scanning through the original raw tape. Raw tape, is that like a porno? Pete's just making sure there's no profanity in the raw tape. |
| 5:47
| Why doesn't he just play the whole thing, Steve could use a time waster right about now. |
| 5:48
| Pete cues the song up. |
| 5:50
| Pete, go ahead and take the tape of Steve nailing it and overlay it with the original version. Then destroy the original version. |
| 5:51
| Steve has the original emails around the time of the jam between Dan and Ron Lewis. Buzz doesn't understand why Ron got all the emails. |
| 5:52
| Had Steve been left to his own devices he would have done fine. It's one of Steve's all-time favorite songs and Gerry is one of his all-time favorite guys. |
| 5:59
| Getting back to the Gerry Beckley interview from a few years ago, Steve pooched the slide guitar part while jamming it out with him. |
| 6:00
| Buzz might recall that Steve was mortified when he said George Martin had produced that song when in fact he had not. Nobody cared but Steve but it was a downward spiral he could not stop. |
| 6:01
| It was further heightened by the fact that Dan Falato had just walked off the show as producer. He was still involved with this in some passive-aggressive attempt to show that he was still needed and that he's a professional. |
| 6:02
| Would Buzz liked to hear Steve's practice version of the song? Steve could just whip out his guitar too but he knows the chords. |
| 6:03
| Should Steve put some reverb on his voice? Did Pete put reverb on Gerry's voice? Steve always says not to but then Pete says that the artist asked for it. Who cares what they asked for? |
| 6:04
| Why doesn't Pete go ahead and put Steve's singing over the practice solo. We could put that out for charity, maybe albino kids or something. |
| 6:05
| Caller Joe is a drummer. Hey Joe, where you goin' with those drumsticks in your hands. Joe has a funny story to tell Steve. |
| 6:06
| Steve will decide if it's funny. This is how you have to treat drummers because they're all loose cannons. Drummers don't care what they say, just that they're on time. |
| 6:07
| This is how you keep the drummers down, them and the bass players. Really the whole rhythm section. |
| 6:08
| Joe was invited by a friend to perform at the House of Blues with Dennis DeYoung on Kevin Matthews show. Hey buddy, want to come over for some venison jerky. |
| 6:09
| Dennis shows up with his band but they were missing a drummer. So Joe volunteered to play. First up with Come Sail Away, which Joe hadn't heard in a while. He muddled his way through that and Dennis said it was fine. |
| 6:10
| Then Dennis wanted to do Grand Illusion which Joe really didn't know. His buddy was standing over his shoulder telling him which parts to play. |
| 6:11
| Does this story have a funny ending? It doesn't seem like it does. It seems like everything ended up going OK for Joe since Dennis kept him up on stage. |
| 6:12
| That story went nowhere. Steve was expecting some big Dennis DeYoung meltdown. |
| 6:13
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 6:14
| The big news is that the Golden Globes were announced last night without a televised awards show. That's how all award shows should be, Steve doesn't know anything about them. Johnny Depp won an award for Sweeney Todd. Buzz is wondering if Steve has seen it yet. That's funny. |
| 6:15
| This story actually ties in with the web poll question for today. Can Steve do that first? In the future Buzz should consult with the webmaster before he does a story. Steve's not the webmaster though. |
| 6:16
| Today's question is "did you miss the traditional Golden Globes?" And now back to Buzz. That's actually all Buzz has on this story. The press conference was hosted by that Billy Bush idiot. |
| 6:17
| Buzz got his first chance to examine Billy Bush up close last night, he can see a little George Bush in there. Billy Bush was referred to as a "faux journalist" by Reuters. That's going everywhere. |
| 6:18
| The normally 3 hour plus broadcast was down to a half hour press conference which is how it should always be. |
| 6:19
| CNN turned the press conference into a special edition of Larry King Live. |
| 6:20
| Steve was watching the Blackhawks game during all of this, it came down to a shootout. The Blackhawks won, Patrick Sharp had the game winning goal. |
| 6:26
| OK back to the headlines with Buzz. A new Michigan poll shows John McCain with a slight lead over Mitt Romney in the GOP primary in that stay. They don't even have a Democratic primary in that state. There was some sort of dispute within the Democratic party in that state. |
| 6:27
| Someone is on hold to let Buzz know that Sweeney Todd is blood-filled but he knew that already. All Tim Burton movies look the same to Steve which he finds boring. They all have the Edward Scissorhands look. |
| 6:28
| Mayor Daley has criticized the governor's plan to give seniors free rides on buses and trains. |
| 6:29
| It's $2 to ride the train, or maybe $1.75 if you have the transit card. Of course there will be a fare increase if senior citizens get free rides. |
| 6:30
| Steve hates Blago, he's the biggest suck-up. He hides behind little kids and now seniors. He doesn't bother to mention that everyone else has to pay an extra half percentage point in sales tax. |
| 6:31
| Steve hates, hates, hates Rod Blagojevich. He does like Open Road Tolling but that was probably George Ryan's idea. And we threw that poor, beautiful man in jail. |
| 6:32
| Steve got a new I-Pass transponder, he didn't like the white one that goes on your windshield. He got the one that's mounted on your license plate but the guy's at the Porsche dealer told him they could put it behind his grill. |
| 6:33
| Steve drove all the way out to the Tollway Authority office and waited in line for his new transponder. These are some of the things Steve does with his afternoon's open. |
| 6:34
| He didn't have to wait in line for too long, there was just one woman and her son in front of him. She had gotten several notices for failure to pay tolls so she was trying to settle that. Then she wanted an I-Pass but couldn't understand why you had to pre-pay. |
| 6:35
| Steve mentioned a while back that he might want a new car when he was getting it serviced. At Porsche even the head of the service department is trying to sell you a car. |
| 6:36
| Steve still might want a new car though, he's still concerned because he has the same car that Tony gave Carmela on The Sopranos. Steve has a turbo though which makes it manly. |
| 6:37
| Steve's car is pretty fast though. He blew the doors off some guy today on the way in. He was going way too slow in the left lane. |
| 6:38
| In other transit news, yesterday was No Pants Day on the CTA. 30 or so riders got on the red line and dropped their pants or skirts. The event was organized by a New York improv group. |
| 6:39
| Steve's been looking to ride the CTA and see what it's like, if he could see girls with no pants on everyday that might make him ride. |
| 6:40
| Steve calls down to the weather center. Jim was not pantsless on the CTA this weekend, nor was his black girlfriend. Did Pete go pantsless? |
| 6:41
| Pete knew about it but he didn't participate. He knew and he didn't tell Steve about it? Pete didn't leave the house much this weekend. Was he waiting for that body to dissolve in the bathtub full of lye? |
| 6:42
| Just a correction from earlier, there is a Democratic primary in Michigan but there was also a dispute within the party. |
| 6:43
| A New York bar is raising eyebrows with it's Frequent Drinker program. The program rewards regular customers with prizes. The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence called it an irresponsible scheme. |
| 6:44
| And in football, Buzz's Super Bowl dream is close to becoming a reality. He'd love to see Bret Favre take down the Patriots. |
| 6:45
| Song: I Love Rock 'N Roll, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts |
| 6:48
| Of course when Steve thinks of Joan Jett he thinks of the Butterball hotline tape. |
| 6:49
| Why do you need a shopping guide for being a vegetarian? Can't you just go to the store and buy vegetables? |
| 6:50
| Vegetarian food is the kind of thing Steve would probably like if he didn't know what it was. But once he was told what it was he'd focus only on that. |
| 6:51
| There are some vegetarians who eat fake chicken or fake beef. Chickens are the dumbest animals, they don't even know they're being tortured. |
| 6:56
| This hour of the show is being sponsored by TLC and we're trying to figure out what that is. Steve thinks it's The Learning Channel. |
| 6:57
| We've tried to ask Adam but he keeps giving bossypants answers like "it's correct as written!" What does that mean? |
| 6:58
| Steve calls down to Adam's office. Adam also threw a mug at Steve and told him to start selling more. |
| 6:59
| Adam doesn't know what the copy is, it's just what they gave him. Steve thinks it's The Learning Channel. Maybe it's The Loser Corps? Or Tomato Lettuce and Cheese. |
| 7:00
| Adam's clamming up on Steve on the air lately, has he noticed that? Adam doesn't want to say the wrong thing but it's OK if he does. Don't clam up. |
| 7:01
| The live read came on a scrap of paper though, it doesn't even look professional. It's like someone pulled it out of a hat. |
| 7:02
| "Peterson Relaxes as Press Backs Off", from the Sun-Times. :The convoy of TV trucks was gone. Not a single reporter was in sight." This sounds like Twas the Night Before Christmas. |
| 7:03
| The only thing left was the "Do Not Enter" tape around a neighbor's front yard. What kind of neighbor does that? It's not very neighborly. |
| 7:04
| Drew says that it's great that the press has left and it's almost like he can live a normal life. He gave this interview from his home office last week. Does Buzz have a home office where he pretends to do work like Drew? |
| 7:05
| In the next room Drew's two kids by Stacy squabbled in front of a huge TV playing cartoons. Drew's got a huge TV. |
| 7:06
| Drew told the kids if they're bad they have to go up to their room. See, Drew's a jokester but he's also a father. |
| 7:07
| Peterson chatted about his love of flying and the actor he'd most like to play him in the TV movie of his life. Drew said Denzel Washington as a joke. Get it? Because Denzel's black. |
| 7:08
| Really the person who should play him is John Hurt. Not William Hurt but John, he's more of a character actor. Him or Richard Gere. Stallone would work too. |
| 7:09
| Drew then pointed to a figurine on his shelf of a man standing next to a little girl. Drew said it was him and Stacy from 1988. Someone sent it as a joke. That's not really a joke, it's an insult. |
| 7:10
| There are some subjects that are off-limits. He won't talk about his days as a cop for the city of Bolingbrook. Before they turned on him of course. |
| 7:11
| Drew can't talk about it for free if the networks are paying for it. He's talking about interviews and the life story. |
| 7:12
| Drew might have to just write the life story himself. He's thinking Ashley Judd to play Kathleen Savio and that girl who played the daughter in Mr. Brooks as Stacy. Her or Jessica Alba. |
| 7:13
| Did Buzz get to see the nice Bill Kurtis special about Drew on A & E last week? That's his channel. |
| 7:14
| Bill and Drew are both voices that Steve does so maybe there's a way to put them together. |
| 7:22
| Steve was sitting in the studio for the entire break getting ready to hear a clip of Drew talking to Bill Kurtis but that didn't happen. |
| 7:23
| Maybe Pete could have given someone a heads up about that. Mary or Buzz or Brendan or Jim or Tina or Stephanie or Adam. |
| 7:24
| Pete missed the special when it was first on and he's been looking for subsequent airings. |
| 7:25
| The special first aired last Sunday when Pete was in the hospital with Hot Potato Mouth. Of course Steve got in trouble for saying the hospital Pete went to was in a bad neighborhood. |
| 7:26
| A listener who lives in that neighborhood, and is black, said it wasn't fair for Steve to say it was a bad neighborhood. |
| 7:27
| Steve was mostly making fun of the fact that Pete went all the way to the Southside when he could have just gone to Northwestern, possibly one of the best hospitals in the country or the world. |
| 7:28
| Steve has the email, he could go through it now. The emailer said that it was unfair for Steve to assume the hospital was in a bad neighborhood just because Pete saw a gang altercation at the hospital. |
| 7:29
| There aren't a lot of gang altercations at the hospital in La Grange though. Pete doesn't remember Steve saying it was a bad neighborhood, just that Pete was nuts for going that far when he's much closer to Northwestern. |
| 7:30
| It was all worth it just for the Hot Potato Mouth. When Steve first heard Pete talk last Monday he almost passed out, that's how funny it was. So thank you, Pete Zimmerman. |
| 7:31
| Just because Pete saw gang activity doesn't mean it's a bad neighborhood. It could have taken place in another district. |
| 7:32
| Pete's doctor was actually hoping to get an aircheck of Steve talking about it from last week. DIdn't Pete pay the guy, doesn't he have health insurance? |
| 7:33
| Pete might be a little tight with the money, he still hasn't paid into the Fantasy Football pool. Steve and Mike can't get paid until Pete and Pat pay their money. |
| 7:34
| Pete also didn't thank Steve for the Christmas bonus. Or maybe he did. Steve always thinks no one thanks him but then he remembers that he doesn't listen when people thank him because it seems awkward. |
| 7:35
| Steve handed out the bonuses in person and everyone thanked him. Pete's supposed to give him a separate thanks after he sees the amount. Pete's amount probably calls for three thank yous. |
| 7:37
| Steve got an email about a Buzz Kilman sighting over the weekend. A guy and his girlfriend ran into Buzz at Davenport's on Saturday night. Buzz jammed with Anna Fermin's Trigger Gospel. |
| 7:38
| Buzz just went out to see the band and got called on stage. He just happened to have a harmonica on him? Buzz never leaves the house without a harmonica. |
| 7:39
| Steve's guy-coding the rest of this email for a second. Buzz was there with Aimee right? |
| 7:40
| The guy works for Drew and used to work for Buzz. He wouldn't tell Buzz his name though because he skipped work under false pretenses to go out on Saturday. |
| 7:41
| Steve doesn't have to guy code that though does he? By the time Steve met with Todd Cavanah after Friday's show that board op who was caught asleep on the job was fired. |
| 7:42
| Steve just wanted to make sure Buzz was there with Aimee because the emailer mentions there was a woman. Buzz wasn't steppin' out on Aimee. |
| 7:43
| Of course the drummer in Anna Fermin's Trigger Gospel, Paul Bivins, is the guy who accidentally walled Buzz's cat up. |
| 7:44
| Buzz gets home and he hears some mewing but he can't figure out where it's coming from. It was like his own Edgar Allen Poe poem. It's the Cat of Amontillado. |
| 7:50
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 7:51
| Song: Steppin' Out, Joe Jackson |
| 7:56
| See what Steve did there, he was talking about stepping out and then he played the song. That is a Jack song so Steve playing it is going to really mess up Todd's rotation. |
| 7:57
| It seems like the people listening to the show in the morning are also listening to the station in the afternoon so they hear the music and the smart-ass comments. |
| 7:58
| Steve listened for 6 weeks to hear a promo and now that he knows they're airing them, he doesn't listen. Is Jack a smart-ass about the show? Buzz probably hasn't heard one right? Steve was told by the people who's opinion matters to him that they turned out good. Todd Cavanah and Bob did a good job on them. Buzz doesn't know a Bob. Of course not, he leaves here as soon as the show is over. In the afternoons he used to get here at 1:59 and leave at 7:00, he doesn't know anyone. |
| 7:59
| There's a whole team of people working here when Buzz is in his cab home to pretend to work. Steve doesn't work either but he hangs around and pretends to work in the building. |
| 8:00
| If you were to pull the records of Steve's building pass it would look like he was doing a lot of work here. |
| 8:01
| Steve doesn't do any work though, he sits in his office eating candy and playing guitar while everyone else does stuff. Then he sends Tina or Stephanie to go get something for him on Michigan Avenue. |
| 8:02
| Steve thought he was going to play the promo from his studio but Pete thought he was going to play it. In the future, Steve's going to play all the stuff that he can play. That's one of the things he's learned to do when he stays late. |
| 8:03
| Buzz feels that the particular promo Pete played caught him with a bad throat. It's like working with Whitney Houston. |
| 8:04
| Buzz likes the second promo because he's not in it. Of course off the air Steve is going to hear about the promo that Buzz isn't in. |
| 8:05
| It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. It's Manager Monday and on the phone is Yvonne from the Taco Bell at Milwaukee and Golf, near the mall. Steve used to play the Mill Run Theater up there. |
| 8:06
| Right now at Taco Bell you can get the Cheesy Bean and Rice burrito for 99¢. |
| 8:07
| News with Buzz |
| 8:08
| Early voting for the Illinois and Florida primaries begin today. Meanwhile in Michigan John McCain has a slight lead over Mitt Romney. Among his promises, McCain said he will hunt down Osama bin Laden. |
| 8:09
| Mitt Romney freaks Steve out, he has the look of someone who's going to sell you something you don't really want and will have all kinds of problems with. |
| 8:10
| The romance drama Atonement and the HBO network were the big winners at last night's Golden Globes. How great was it to only have an awards show as a half hour press conference? |
| 8:11
| A war of words continues between Governor Blagojevich and Mayor Daley over the transit funding bill. |
| 8:12
| Blagojevich added a last minute stipulation to the bill giving free rides to senior citizens which Daley didn't like. |
| 8:13
| Blago is a tool who likes to hide kids and now old people. It's $2 to ride a bus. If they can't afford the $2 what are they going to do when they get to the place they need to go? |
| 8:14
| Old people vote though and they'll take a free bus ride to vote for him. |
| 8:15
| Amy Meadows, designer of the holiday windows and Christmas tree at Marshall Field's for the last 25 years has been fired by Macy's. They're really steeped in Chicago tradition aren't they? |
| 8:16
| A Jessica Simpson look-a-like took her place in the stands at the Cowboys game yesterday. |
| 8:17
| Yesterday Buzz's wife suggested that, had the game been in New York, people in the stands could have worn Jessica Simpson masks or something. |
| 8:18
| They actually did that in Carolina but the Cowboys won anyway. Aimee is passing this off as her own idea though. |
| 8:19
| It doesn't seem like Tony Romo is going to be distracted by Jessica Simpson in the crowd. If Cowboys fans believe that the |
| 8:26
| You can go to RuinRomo.com and download a Jessica Simpson mask. It's too late now of course. Steve's guessing that if you have 4 300-pound guys coming at you, you're not thinking of Jessica Simpson. |
| 8:27
| Caller Mike was watching NBC5 on Saturday morning from 9-10. Why was he doing that? |
| 8:28
| Ellie Pie Hog was doing a story about some preschool where parents take their kids and sing and play instruments with them. Why would you want to do that? Can't you just do it at home? |
| 8:29
| So Ellie is sitting there with a few guys who are sitting Indian-style in a circle with their kids. We don't call it Indian-style any more do we? It's Native-American-style. |
| 8:30
| Mike is looking at the circle of guys and there's one he recognizes but he can't quite figure out who it is. Then he realizes it's Pete McMurray. |
| 8:31
| It seemed like Pete was really antsy to have Ellie interview him about his career. At one point he called for someone off-camera to get him a hat to wear. |
| 8:32
| Steve ran into Pete over the hiatus. He was down here working out and saw Pete in the parking garage. Steve was going to meet with his personal trainer so he was in a hurry. |
| 8:33
| It seemed like Pete wanted to talk but Steve had to get to his appointment. Pete seemed sort of annoyed that Steve didn't have time to talk though. |
| 8:34
| Steve likes Pete but he's talentless. He told him a few months ago to go back to Rockford but he never takes his advice. He was huge in Rockford. |
| 8:35
| Pat Boyle is on the phone. Steve saw Pat on Friday at the Hawks game, rocking the turtleneck. That's his hockey look, he has to stay warm. |
| 8:36
| Steve didn't have time to talk to Pat on Friday because he had an appointment with the urinal. He was also talking to his former trainer, BIll. |
| 8:37
| The former trainer heard Steve talking about Pilates and said he should come into his gym because he's got some sort of vibrating machine. Steve likes his gym because it's right across the street. |
| 8:38
| He likes the Pilates too, it's a good workout and it helps him get in touch with his feminine side. The guy was hard to shake and Steve thought he should bond with Pat a little bit. Everyone was wearing turtlenecks which made Steve think he needs to get one. |
| 8:39
| Pat had to check out the three blonds sitting next to Steve. They were good from far but far from good. They were really nice though and got really hammered. |
| 8:40
| They were from Minnesota and were wearing too much make-up. One of them was salvageable but you'd need a power washer. |
| 8:41
| Steve doesn't want to say his boys are you-know-what-blockers but he got their before Matt did and one of them wanted him to take their picture. |
| 8:42
| As soon as he did that he got a text message from Mike who was up in the broadcast booth, asking him what he was doing. Steve was just taking their picture but Mike was insinuating something else. |
| 8:43
| Steve caught some of Pat's post-game last night. There's Steve, at home, watching hockey. Turns out if you learn to like hockey it makes the winter much easier. |
| 8:50
| Steve's sorry he didn't get to talk to Pat on Friday. His former trainer wouldn't stop talking to him. In those situations you have to defer to a Pat Boyle in a turtleneck. |
| 8:51
| The Hawks got their butts kicked on Friday but that game last night was exciting. It came down to the last shot. |
| 8:52
| If the game is tied after 3 periods they play a 5 minute over time. After that they have a shootout. Is the game tied after that? |
| 8:53
| There are no more ties in hockey so they just keep going until someone wins, adding more players to the shootout. |
| 8:54
| Pat's phone is sounding bad, is he using some weird internet phone or something? Pat's on a cordless but he'll get to a regular phone. It sounds like he's underwater. |
| 8:55
| Pat's probably looking up the rules for NHL shootouts instead of calling Steve back. It was a very exciting game though, it came down to the last show. |
| 8:56
| Pat's back on the phone, Brendan said it might be on our end. Pat sounds fine now, this is the Pat Boyle we know and love. |
| 8:57
| Not one listener out there knows the rules for hockey? 591-Jack, call in if you know. In the meantime, on to football. |
| 8:58
| By now everyone knows the results of the games. There were a lot of surprises over the weekend. Buzz is hoping for a Packers/Patriots Super Bowl. |
| 8:59
| If Bret could take down the Patriots Buzz would love that. It seems to Buzz that Bret, on his best day, is cooler than Tom Brady. He's a rugged cool with the Wrangler jeans and not caring. Buzz and Pat sound very gay right now. |
| 9:00
| This whole segment has careened off the road but that's just because Pat's phone went bad. No one has called in about the shootout rules either. |
| 9:01
| Three players participate in the shootout, any player can shoot unless they're serving a ten minute penalty. |
| 9:02
| Each team gets three shots. After that the shootout proceeds to sudden death and no player can shoot twice until every eligible player has shot. |
| 9:03
| Pat has some football audio to play. Obviously the big story after the Cowboys loss is Tony Romo going to Mexico with Jessica Simpson. |
| 9:04
| Romo going to Mexico has no bearing on them losing the game. One thing that might have had a bearing on Tony having fun in Mexico is the fact that Jessica's parents were there. Imagine every time you look up seeing that Joe Simpson guy standing there, wanting to play catch. He seems like a moocher too so Tony probably footed the bill. |
| 9:05
| You hate to see TO crying like that after the game, he's very sensitive. Hopefully there's not another suicide attempt. |
| 9:06
| The Chargers, without LT and Philip Rivers, advances to the AFC Championship. Apparently we have the wrong Turner in Chicago. We want the Pizza Face, not the handsome one. |
| 9:07
| Maybe Peyton had a bad game because his mom went to go see Eli play the Cowboys. But his dad was there. Older brother Connor had a prior engagement. |
| 9:08
| Why does Steve have to hear about all of that? Connor is of course the unborn child of Laci Peterson, Cooper is the name of the older Manning brother. |
| 9:09
| Supposedly he was the best QB in the family but he has a bad heart. They probably think of him as the weak link in the family. |
| 9:10
| The Bulls got blown out in Atlanta yesterday. The big story over the weekend is that Joakim Noah received a one-game suspension for verbally abusing an assistant coach. |
| 9:11
| Then the players took their own vote and unanimously decided to suspend him another day. They players shouldn't have that kind of power, it's like the inmates are running the asylum. |
| 9:12
| Buzz is wondering if Pat has a tribute to Johnny Podre lined up. Steve didn't know he died, he was one of his favorite Dodgers. |
| 9:13
| Buzz is pretty sure he was the first pitcher to win a World Series MVP. What does Buzz have over there, The Sporting News? |
| 9:14
| Buzz just read too much this morning. Does he have any info about the NHL shootout rules? |
| 9:15
| As a young lefty, although not Jewish, Steve identified with Sandy Koufax. When he was being ostracized by his classmates and called the Devil's child he looked to Sandy. |
| 9:16
| It's starting to look like Pat's son is a lefty. His wife wants him to be a righty but Pat feels that if the kid can get the ball over the plate they'll be set for life. |
| 9:17
| Song: She Talks to Angels, The Black Crowes |
| 9:22
| That's the Counting Crows and She Talks to Angels right there. |
| 9:23
| Live read: Whirlyball |
| 9:31
| Yesterday there was a Kenny Mayne piece on ESPN where he was in Seattle talking to some Japanese guy who he said was cut from the Seahawks. |
| 9:32
| Steve likes Kenny Mayne but he feels that he was ripped off since he pioneered the Japanese-football-lover bit with his friend Shu. |
| 9:33
| Caller Scott wanted to correct Steve, that song he played with Black Crowes not Counting Crows. He had the Crows part right. |
| 9:34
| Scott is a longtime listener but a first time caller. He picked a great time for his first call. |
| 9:35
| Scott was wondering if Buzz brought in any movies to give out today. Steve noticed that Buzz hasn't handed out any movies today and he certainly hopes the first one won't be to Scott the corrector. |
| 9:36
| Buzz was actually poised to give Scott Anklebiters but then he had to go and mention it. |
| 9:37
| The threatening radio message at the end of a video showing Iranian boats approaching U.S. Navy vessels may be from a prankster. |
| 9:38
| Why can't the Iranian Navy be pranksters as well? They seem like maybe they're pranksters. |
| 9:39
| You pull a prank against he U.S. Navy then you head back to shore and hit the Buffalo Wild Wings. |
| 9:40
| Then you do some tequila shots. They're sailors, that's what sailors do, they drink and eat chicken wings. |
| 9:41
| If you were in the Iranian Navy and you were riding around in rusted out speedboats you'd be a prankster. |
| 9:42
| They're pranksters and jokesters just like Drew Peterson. Sometimes being a prankster helps lighten the mood of your co-workers. |
| 9:43
| Hopefully while the Iranian Navy was out pulling pranks they were also looking for Stacy. She loved the water. |
| 9:44
| That's why they're looking for her in the canal. She was in the Polar Bear Club, perhaps she took a dip in there in early November. |
| 9:45
| Actually it was late October, right around Halloween. Drew had to hand out candy himself but Stacy used to make it very special. Don't get Drew started on it though. |
| 9:46
| Drew gave out Dentyne but not a whole pack, just one piece. A lot of kids complained and there as gum all over his driveway. Luckily Dentyne doesn't stick to your dental work or your driveway. |
| 9:47
| Next year he'll be giving out mini Three Musketeers. By then Stacy could be home though. If they give her clemency, which they should, then she'll come home. |
| 9:48
| That'll certainly give the TV movie a happy ending. There aren't enough massage parlors out by Drew. No broad wants to anything to do with him. He was down in Orlando and he was mistreated. |
| 9:49
| Drew should head out to a Margaritaville and just hang out at the bar for a while. Buzz thinks things are going to change for Drew but he's not sure how. |
| 9:50
| Drew would love to fire up that website again but for some reason he doesn't. It was up for one day but apparently his immediate needs were met. |
| 9:56
| Drew's just like Steve or Buzz, going to McDonald's for a McRib. If Steve were like Drew, forced to sell interviews, he'd stick to the Dollar Menu. Double cheeseburger for a $1! |
| 9:57
| Anything Buzz needs to tell us? There's nothing breaking right now. Researchers have created a beating, rat heart, in a lab. That's kind of small for a human though. |
| 9:58
| Who's going to let these scientists test on humans though? This always happens, they test on rats and then that's it. |
| 9:59
| There's an environmental story Buzz would like to get in. Greenpeace is claiming victory over Japan's plans to harvest whales. |
| 10:00
| Steve would have a hard time, as a whaler, not sinking Greenpeace boats. There are probably camera on your but how much worse can your reputation get? |
