| Steve had to pick between Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer and Rock and Roll All Night. He went with Sledgehammer. |
| 5:33
| Sledgehammer is of course from Peter Gabriel's 1986 album So. The song was influenced by soul music, evident by the use of horns and general Stax sound. Isn't all music influenced by that? |
| 5:34
| Stax, isn't that Muscle Shoals, Alabama? Buzz has no idea. Steve thought Buzz knew about all music but it's just blues. Steve's pretty sure it's Alabama, as mentioned Sweet Home Alabama. |
| 5:35
| The horns in the song were provided by Memphis Horns, house musicians for Stax Records. So it's Memphis, Steve was wrong all along. |
| 5:36
| Mark has given Steve way too much information here. The video was directed by Stephen R. Johnson and Aardman animation provided the claymation, pixilation and stop motion animation. |
| 5:37
| Peter's twin daughters were featured at the end of the video. Buzz is wondering how old the twins are now. They're probably in their 30s but Steve doesn't know for sure. |
| 5:38
| What Steve does know is that the bathrooms on this floor no longer require a key to access them. Now Steve is faced with the decision of whether or not he should go into the women's bathroom and maybe offer some donuts in the morning. |
| 5:39
| Steve goes to plenty of places where he could easily walk into the women's bathroom but for some reason this is different. If he was going to Whirlyball tonight he could probably just walk into the women's bathroom. |
| 5:40
| Steve saw poor Jim kid trying to figure out how he was getting to Whirlyball tonight. Steve calls down to the newsroom and brings Pete in too. Pete is of course the guy who doesn't have a car, has to be picked up and lives nowhere near the expressway. |
| 5:41
| When Pete and Brendan went to the wedding Pete went to Brendan's house. That's probably just because Brendan didn't want to drive all the way up to Rogers Park. |
| 5:42
| How did Pete get home from the wedding? Because the last time Steve saw Brendan he was working a neighbor girl Steve had known since she was 5. On the one hand Steve doesn't want to block him but on the other hand he's known the girl since she was 5. |
| 5:43
| Steve doesn't know what to do at that point though. He's already seen him dance with the girl, he should have been arrested for that. Brothers had to come up and stop Brendan from dancing that way with their sister. He's like a beast. |
| 5:44
| Pete took a cab home although Steve had a limo to take people like Pete home. Why do that though? Pete didn't know about the limo and why would he, he was too busy hugging everything in sight. |
| 5:45
| So the kids are going out to Whirlyball tonight and Brendan is driving. How did he get stuck driving, he's the guy with the least resources. Who's paying for gas? Jim was going to chip in but Pete hadn't thought about it. |
| 5:46
| On the way to the wedding they actually stopped to get gas, that would have probably been a good time for Pete to chip in. It couldn't have been more obvious. |
| 5:47
| So Brendan and Jim have to make the trek all the way up to Rogers Park just to get Pete tonight? |
| 5:52
| Rogers Park isn't near anything and it's nothing special when you get there. It's not like it's an oasis of lesbians. Is that why Pete moved there? |
| 5:53
| Rogers Park is no different than any other neighborhood, it's just a bunch of 4 flats. Pete likes the diversity of Rogers Park. Because he's always out and about? |
| 5:54
| Pete did go out to breakfast at the Heartland Cafe over the hiatus and saw Alderman Joe Moore, the guy who staged a purse snatching and then stopped it. He didn't really stage it but he stopped a purse snatcher and then couldn't stop doing interviews about it. |
| 5:55
| Buzz was out to dinner last night and he saw Jesse White. Did Buzz introduce himself? At one point Aimee and Piper got up to use the bathroom. Buzz looked up from his Taxas salad and saw Jesse and Piper talking. Taxas salad, what restaurant was Buzz at? |
| 5:56
| The Taxas salad is named after Chef Taxas of the Greek Islands. Oh, that Taxas. So then Piper starts getting bashful with Jesse and then someone points over to Buzz. Buzz then introduces himself across the room and Jesse comes over to the table. |
| 5:57
| Later Buzz told Piper that she'd have to make a better showing with Jesse White, she's going to want him on her side. Did she tell him that he needs to make a better showing with Jesse? |
| 5:58
| Piper knows that Buzz is a lost cause plus he's got Steve working Jesse for him. When they left Buzz did bring Piper back over to Jesse to say goodbye. So he was working it a little bit. |
| 5:59
| What is a Taxas salad, is it just a Greek salad? It's Feta cheese and some sort of avocado dressing. Feta sounds like a Greek salad to Steve. |
| 6:00
| Caller Stefan is a new listener and a first time caller. He started listening to the station when it switched to Jack and then they had a morning show so he started listening to that. |
| 6:01
| This is a success story right here, it's a successful conversion. Stefan used to listen to Eddie & Jobo before Steve. Todd Cavanah must be on such a rollercoaster right now. He was up after hearing that Stefan was a morning show convert, but now he's no longer listening to Eddie and Jobo. |
| 6:02
| Stefan lives in Rogers Park and it's not near anything. It takes an hour to get there from anywhere else right? |
| 6:03
| The only way to get to an expressway is either jumping on Lake Shore Drive or getting to the Kennedy. |
| 6:04
| Now Steve wants to know what a Pete Zimmerman gets for breakfast at the Heartland Cafe. Does he go with the 7 Grain pancakes? You have to get home right after you eat those. |
| 6:05
| Pete actually got the biscuits and gravy. He really cuts loose on the weekend doesn't he? That would be fine if he was happy but he's not. Was Pete trying to get in touch with his Georgia roots? |
| 6:06
| Pete was going to get the Eggs Benedict but they weren't serving them any more. Has Pete had them before or were they recommended by a lesbian? |
| 6:07
| Pete's place is only a 10 minute drive from the Kilman's house, maybe Buzz will take the family up there one Sunday for an adventure. |
| 6:08
| The next time Steve's in Rogers Park it'll be to identify Pete's body. |
| 6:09
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 6:10
| Today is the Michigan Primary and both parties have penalized the state for moving the date up. Hillary Clinton is the only major Democrat on the ballot. |
| 6:11
| President Bush told the Saudis we could sell them some weapons. Is he just doing whatever he wants, isn't anyone checking on him? Isn't that where all the Al Qaeda money comes from? |
| 6:12
| Say what you will about the Saudis but they've really got the ladies in check. All they can show is their eyes. Not that it's right though Buzz. |
| 6:13
| Steve noticed yesterday that the NBC5 is now in HD. He and Pete exchanged emails about it. Steve starts watching the news at 4 pm, that's his exciting day. |
| 6:14
| Would Buzz like to hear about Steve's exciting day? He went to the Casual Male XL but it had closed. Most likely Steve's switch from 3X to 2X caused them to lose business and close. |
| 6:15
| Steve watches the news on channel 7 from 4 to 5:30 and then switches over to NBC for their network news. |
| 6:16
| Steve was watching the Nightly News with Brian Williams and there's a woman in Saudi Arabia, an NBC producer, who has a TV show. She's all made up and she doesn't wear the full veil. Steve's wondering how she can get away with that. |
| 6:17
| She can't drive but it seems like maybe they should have explained how she was able to get away with it. |
| 6:18
| O.J. is back in jail for parole violation. Prosecutors asked the judge to revoke his bail after he attempted to contact a co-defendant. |
| 6:19
| O.J. almost got brought to jail in his underwear. His bail bondsman came to his house in the middle of the night and told him he had to come with him. O.J. had to call his girlfriend and have her bring clothes to the airport. |
| 6:20
| Buzz is hoping all of this gets cleared up soon, he doesn't like to see O.J. behind bars. You like your Juice on the loose. |
| 6:27
| Back to Buzz in the news room right? Steve might have interrupted Buzz mid-news and he feels like he needs some more info. |
| 6:28
| The critically acclaimed film The Kite Runner has been banned in Afghanistan. Probably because it depicts how bad things are in Afghanistan. |
| 6:29
| Antonio Mora is leaving town. He'll be going back to Miami. |
| 6:30
| A judge denied Britney Spears visitation of her kids after she failed to show up in court. She showed up at the building but never made it in the court room. She probably decided that scene wasn't for her. |
| 6:31
| K-Fed left court in a Range Rover, as Steve said in his blog today he hopes it's not his car. It seems like Britney is buying a new car every week, she just got a new Mercedes. |
| 6:32
| Based on what Steve knows about depreciation of cars, this isn't the best way for her to spend her money. |
| 6:33
| It might be time for everyone to leave Britney alone. Buzz feels that Britney will seek out the attention anyway. What happened to Lindsay Lohan, lets put our attention back on her. |
| 6:34
| Steve saw a great video of Paris Hilton slipping, let's talk about that. He actually saw that on Countdown, he wasn't watching a tabloid show. |
| 6:35
| After Steve's done watching the news all afternoon he turns on King of Queens at 6:30. After that it's a No Man's Land. So Steve switched on Countdown and then American Gladiators which is really bad. |
| 6:36
| Steve has no interest in Prison Break or The Terminator show. He lost interest in Prison Break way back in the first season when the Short Eyes ran the prison. That would never happen. |
| 6:37
| Steve knows nothing about The Terminator movies except that there's some guy from the future who comes back to protect someone. He never bought into it. |
| 6:38
| Steve's sort of in a TV free fall right now. He's trying to watch a movie every night. Last night he watched something with Dwight Yoakam because he'll watch anything with him in it. |
| 6:39
| The movie Steve watched was OK but Yoakam did not disappoint. He always does something crazy in a movie. |
| 6:40
| Steve went to be around 9:45 last night. He watched the Fox 32 news for as long as he could. There is a lot of filler on that newscast. There wasn't even much on the sports except that Joakim Noah stuff. |
| 6:41
| Why is Joakim Noah even talking, he should just keep his yapper shut. Buzz wants to know what he said to the assistant coach that started this whole thing. Steve is guessing it's something racist. |
| 6:42
| Caller John is on his way up to Milwaukee for a meeting. It seems like he should make the Milwaukee people come to him. It's nice to get up there once in a while though. |
| 6:43
| They've got a great Hooters downtown if Steve could say so. John used to go to a place called The Safe House in his younger days. The theme was that it was a safe house and you needed a password to get in. Sounds very lame and Milwaukee. Steve remembers going to a restaurant up there that used to be an old public swimming pool. |
| 6:44
| John saw a video online and he's not sure if it's fake but there were two women in burqas trying to eat spaghetti. One was trying to go under and one was trying to go through the eye holes. That has to be fake right? |
| 6:45
| Even if it's fake Steve still wants to see it. How do you spell burqa? Buzz thought there was an H somewhere in there. |
| 6:46
| Mark Czerniec found the video. It does look real. Buzz was hoping to see the women suck the noodles through one at a time. Someone needs to invent a burqa with a mouth hole. |
| 6:47
| Caller Dave was listening to The Score yesterday and apparently Joakim Noah has a history of being late to practice. The assistant was telling him where he needed to be on certain plays and talking about what the team needs to do to start winning. |
| 6:48
| Noah went off on the coach, swearing at him and telling him that he didn't need to be told about winning. Dave has saved everyone else 3 hours of having to listen to The Score. |
| 6:49
| Caller Russ has an idea for a parody song. Last week Buzz mentioned the Andrew Golatta parody song he wanted to do of Escape (The Piña Colada Song) |
| 6:50
| Golatta is fighting next week at Madison Square Garden. He's fighting a real person too, not a bear or something. Russ' co-worker's son is fighting against Golatta. Tell him to wear a cup! |
| 6:51
| Golatta probably could have been the Heavyweight champ but he couldn't resist hitting guys below the belt. Even if he was winning a fight he did it and that was it. |
| 6:52
| He should get one of those leather things that the amateur's wear on their heads and put it under his shorts. They have those leather codpieces, Steve's wearing one now. |
| 7:00
| Steve has written the first line of Buzz's parody song. It's "if you like Andrew Golatta, and testicular pain." Is Buzz just going to sit on this until Steve writes the whole thing. |
| 7:01
| Caller Bobby wanted to refresh Steve's memory on The Natatorium in Milwaukee. He always took his first dates there and one of them fell into the dolphin pool. |
| 7:02
| So there was a Natatorium and Steve was there. He doesn't remember the dolphins which will give you some idea of what was going on at the time. |
| 7:03
| There was one time when Steve and Garry were in Vegas doing a show at The Mirage. They arrived right as the volcano was erupting but the next day Steve was surprised when he found out they had a volcano. |
| 7:04
| The Andrew Golatta fight in the undercard for the Felix Trinidad/Roy Jones Jr. fight and you can get it on Pay-Per View. Might as well, there's nothing else on right? |
| 7:05
| Steve loves to watch boxing and he likes to box. He hasn't done it in a while but as a kid his best friend's uncle was Angelo Dundee. He also went to an all boys school and you settled a lot of things with fights. After one or two fights Steve and Vince Dundee didn't have many other disagreements. |
| 7:06
| Time for today's web poll question, "what do outsiders think of when you say Chicago?" The options are thin, stuffed and deep dish. |
| 7:07
| Chicago is preparing to make it's Olympic bid plans public to the world. Still though, tourists from around the world still think of Chicago as a gritty and dangerous town full of belching smokestacks. |
| 7:08
| Buzz had the same perception of the city before he got here. Even today he came in demanding to know where the smokestacks were. |
| 7:09
| Chicago has begun marketing itself internationally over the last few years. The Illinois Bureau of Tourism brought international food writers to promote the city's top restaurants. |
| 7:10
| The people who are really ruining Chicago are people like Jay Leno. He always talks about coming into Chicago and going to Mr. Beef. That My Boys show does the same thing though. |
| 7:11
| They city might want to worry about the Al Capone thing before they focus on the food. That's more of a concern than deep dish. |
| 7:12
| Frankly there's nothing wrong with a good deep dish pizza either. You're not going to get a pizza like that anywhere else in the world. |
| 7:13
| If it were up to Steve he'd be pointing out the bad stuff going on in the other host cities. It's way easier to point out the bad stuff. |
| 7:14
| Then when the people get here you have a little guide in their room with all the good restaurants. |
| 7:15
| Song: Old Time Rock & Roll, Bob Seger |
| 7:19
| Caller Lisa read in Variety that Johnny Depp will be filming a movie in Chicago about John Dillinger. |
| 7:20
| Steve doesn't mind being known for all that mob stuff though. He also doesn't need the Olympics in Chicago tying up traffic. |
| 7:21
| Steve wouldn't mind having the Olympics here. He doesn't like tourists standing on the sidewalk gawking at things. On the other hand it does make Steve feel proud because he's from here. |
| 7:22
| Lisa is just looking forward to Johnny Depp coming to town. She told her husband to have bail money ready and be very understanding. |
| 7:23
| Steve doesn't even know if he wants the Olympics here. Does Buzz want it? He is an equestrian fan but he can get that anywhere. |
| 7:24
| It seems like we should embrace our gangster roots but at the same time it's not going on any more. Just like how you know there are no Nazis in Berlin any more. |
| 7:25
| Public Enemies, being directed by Michael Mann, will star Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. It's a gangster epic set during the Depression. |
| 7:26
| This article Steve is reading is from Wisconsin but maybe they're coming down to Chicago to film the John Dillinger stuff. |
| 7:27
| Steve doesn't really care though. He tried to watch the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie but he hadn't seen the second one and gave up. |
| 7:28
| Buzz hasn't seen any of those movies, he doesn't like pirates. That seems like the wrong way for him to live, he knows he's missing out, but he doesn't like pirates. Buzz lived as a pirate though so why does he need to see a movie about it? |
| 7:33
| Steve likes Johnny Depp but he doesn't like Tim Burton movies. He's more of a fan of 21 Jump Street. |
| 7:34
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 7:35
| David has a show on another station which he can't stop talking about. Steve's not going to say where it is. |
| 7:36
| David still can't believe that he was dumped from WCKG after they changed formats. |
| 7:37
| You can't promote another radio station on this show though. He does it on Dahl.com, maybe Steve should clamp down on that. |
| 7:38
| On the other hand Steve doesn't want to lose David as an advertiser and he doesn't want to lose the daily live read. So the show's on WIND right? |
| 7:39
| David doesn't want to be a radio guy though, it's a tough industry. You always want what the other guy has though right? Steve and Buzz would love to be mortgage lenders. |
| 7:40
| David just past an exam in Indiana so now he can work over there as well. Good news for all your Hoosiers. |
| 7:41
| Steve heard on the radio yesterday that Bo Jackson is investing in a new bank in Burr Ridge. Why didn't anyone asked him, he lives in the area. You probably need a lot more than Steve's standard $5,000 investment. On the other hand, do you really need money to start a bank? Just get a building and wait for people to bring their money in. |
| 7:42
| Then Steve thought he should get an account at Bo Jackson's bank, just to say he had one there. Steve lost interest by the time he got to the shopping center where the Casual Male used to be. |
| 7:43
| Now that it's closed, where do the larger gentlemen go for clothing? They at least owe them a notification that the store is closed. Maybe they could sent out a sausage or something. |
| 7:44
| Steve also planned on getting himself a pair of Dockers in addition to the workout pants he was going to get at Casual Male. |
| 7:45
| Steve has decided he won't be wearing his matching workout clothing any more. Only little kids, old people and guys in the mafia wear matching track suits. Steve looked like Michael Spilotro on steroids in that thing. |
| 7:46
| Steve was going to wear shorts to Pilates today but they prefer that you wear pants. You can get a pretty good look on some of the stretches. This was also the day Steve was going to ask her to turn the lights down to make it more relaxing. She might take things the wrong way. |
| 7:47
| Stephanie was supposed to get Steve some sweat pants today but she didn't check her email until late yesterday. Steve's going to have to talk to her about that. Maybe she should go over to the gym and tell the Pilates instructor why Steve will be wearing shorts. |
| 7:48
| Stephanie was out running errands and didn't check her email until later. Is she off-duty in the afternoons then? With Steve you need to check your email once an hour. Who knows if Steve will need a pair of sweat pants or a cookie or whatever. |
| 7:49
| Stephanie doesn't think Steve looks that bad in his workout clothing though. That's probably because he dad works for the city and lives in Bridgeport. That's a look he's comfortable with but Steve isn't. |
| 7:50
| Maybe Steve will just wait for the Zubazz pants since apparently they're making a comeback. According to a Sun-Times article, Chet Coppock spotted someone wearing Zubazz at the East Bank Club. |
| 7:51
| Buzz didn't know that Zubazz ever went away, he still wears a pair around the house. Was it Buzz that Chet spotted at the East Bank Club? |
| 7:52
| Bo Jackson is planning on investing $579,000 in a bank in Burr Ridge with 19 other investors. That's a little closer to Steve's $5,000. |
| 7:58
| For the last 3 or 4 years Steve was on Balance for Life. It was owned by Troy who was down in Miami. He was a bit of a handful but the diet worked for Steve. |
| 7:59
| Over the hiatus Steve got an email from Troy saying he'd sold the company and also asking for a recommendation of a good place to spend New Year's Eve in Chicago. It seems like those should be two separate emails. |
| 8:00
| Caller Vince is a driver for Fresh Diet, formerly Balance for Life. It seems like the food is actually better, they're using a catering service now. You have more selection in your food and it's cheaper. |
| 8:01
| What about the cookies? Balance for Life had great cookies for a diet. Buzz enjoyed the cookies as well. |
| 8:02
| Just for being such a great spokesman for his company Vince is getting Anklebiters from Buzz's movie collection. |
| 8:03
| It's time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell and it's also Taco Tuesday. Steve and Buzz are going to taco it up right now. |
| 8:04
| Steve's been craving the original taco since yesterday since he was reminded about Taco Tuesday. He almost broke down and got one last night but he held out until today. |
| 8:05
| Time for a Mailbag. Steve was logged into to his email but then he got logged out which means Stephanie is up in the office doing fake work. |
| 8:06
| Steve calls up to the office but Stephanie just ran out. Was she crying? She just went to get the flowers and put them in a vase. |
| 8:07
| Tina has unnecessarily said too much about some flowers that we get and Steve gives to Regina every week. Now he's going to get in trouble for not bringing them home. |
| 8:08
| Stephanie did check the email before she left though. She needs to check the email once an hour, that's how it is when you work for Steve. If you work for Steve you're on call 24/7. |
| 8:09
| The first emailer loves the Drew Peterson stuff, it's right in Steve's wheelhouse. Steve was thinking he'd have Drew read from The Enquirer today. |
| 8:10
| Emailer Kent drives his kids to school everyday and the Ed Silha impersonation kills with them. SIL-HA, party of one! |
| 8:11
| The next email is about the Balance for Life but Steve talked about that already. Finally there's an email about organ donation. Steve's going to need funnier emails from listeners. |
| 8:12
| The final email is from someone who works for the Git of Hope organ and tissue donor registry. Last week Steve was talking about how Terry Armour donated his organs and tissue. |
| 8:13
| Steve hadn't signed the back of his license yet because it would have looked sloppy. The place where they tell you to sign is too small also. Steve can sign up on the Gift of Hope website so he won't have to worry about signing the back of his license. |
| 8:20
| Steve still has an open Mailbag but he also read three emails so he should probably close it right? |
| 8:21
| Headlines with Buzz |
| 8:22
| The poles are open in Michigan, Mitt Romney will do battle with John McCain. |
| 8:23
| Scientists are waiting for the first photos of Mercury in more than 30 years. Is Buzz hoping the photos will show creatures waving from the planet? |
| 8:24
| Speaking of that, UFO researchers will travel to Stevensville, Texas after several witnesses spotted a UFO. They see a lot of that stuff in Texas don't they? |
| 8:25
| Al Sharpton, The Sharp One, is weighing in on the election, saying the race issue is becoming a big distraction. |
| 8:26
| It's funny that The Clintons are trying to be blacker than Barack Obama, who some people say isn't black enough. |
| 8:27
| Woody Harrelson, Spike Lee, Barbara Walters and Tom Brokaw are among the many character witnesses that Wesley Snipes will have at his trial for income tax evasion. |
| 8:28
| Steve didn't know you could have a trial for that. Do they really care about character witnesses anyway? |
| 8:29
| Outrage continues to grow after a dogwalker's van was stolen while 6 dogs waited inside. Was that Bob and Ron? The dogwalker left the car running which sounds like something they'd do. |
| 8:30
| Buzz thought that one of Kathleen Zoellner's dogs had been stolen but it's not her, it's Anne Zellner. She spent the other night driving up and down the lakefront looking for the dogs. |
| 8:31
| A Fetch & Play employee left his van running while he went into a building to drop off another dog. You really can't leave a car running, that's too tempting. Even Steve would be tempted by that. |
| 8:32
| Caller Bill is doing a fake Larry Shriner bit. What's with that? According to WGN the van has been recovered and there might be 3 dogs inside. Maybe some of the other dogs are sleeping. |
| 8:33
| Steve's dogs sleep all day and he can't figure out why they're sleeping. What are they tired from if they sleep all day? |
| 8:34
| According to WGN all 5 dogs have been recovered from the van. Colin Hebson, owner of an 11-year old lab, hoped the thieves let the dogs out of the van once they realized they were in back. |
| 8:35
| Hebson calls his 11-year old dog Seamus a legend. Isn't Colin Hebson the guy on David Hochberg's show? He's the real estate guy isn't he. Are all those guys full of themselves? |
| 8:36
| Steve will need to ask Bob and Ron all about this when they're in tomorrow. He also needs to talk to them about walking Matt Dahl's dog. Something needs to be done to get it out of Steve's house. |
| 8:37
| Every time Matt comes over the dog comes with him. It was at the house for two weeks over the holidays. It's a dumb, ugly dog that's completely out-of-control. Brendan knows, he's at Matt's house everyday to do the podcast. |
| 8:38
| Steve might have to take that dog for a ride to a happier place, a farm perhaps. It's not even a cool dog to get chicks with, it's just a nightmare. It looks like a greyhound with a tiny pinhead and huge feet. |
| 8:39
| Plus Matt thinks he's taught the dog obedience because it'll sit for about a nanosecond when you tell it to. Matt is welcome at the house whenever, he can move back there if he wants, but he can't bring the dog. |
| 8:46
| Caller Marci adopted a dog and it was crazy. There's a reason those dogs are available for adoption, as Steve pointed out to Matt. |
| 8:47
| When you go adopt the dog they act like they've put them through a battery of tests but how do you test a dog? Marci got a Weimeraner, they always look hungover because of the red eyes. |
| 8:48
| Marci put her pet on a dog version of Zanax. So it's not real Zanax? Matt has a doggy day care he was going to take his dog to but he can't until it gets a shot. |
| 8:49
| Maybe Steve will take the dog to get a shot. Hopefully it doesn't accidentally escape from the car in the process. |
| 8:50
| Matt did the same thing with a guinea pig but that was much easier to get rid of. No one is going to want this dog except maybe a laboratory, so they can test make-up on it. |
| 8:51
| Pat Boyle is on the phone. He thinks it's genius the way Matt hasn't gotten the shot for the dog. Matt has also worked it so it appears that Steve is preventing Matt and the dog from coming home to be with Janet. |
| 8:52
| There's not a lot going on in sports right now which just means the Joakim Noah story is everywhere. At this time last year he could have killed the assistant coach and no one would have even cared with the Bears going to the NFC Championship game. Steve's sick of this story. |
| 8:53
| Stormin' Norman had his own thoughts about how he would have dealt with the Joakim Noah situation. If he was the coach he would have handled all of the suspensions himself. |
| 8:54
| Norm is right though, that's exactly what the Bulls should have done. You can't let the players decide when to suspend players. Of course now Pat has tricked Steve into talk about this. |
| 8:55
| The Illinois High School Athletic association has decided it will begin testing athletes starting next year. That's a a good first step. |
| 8:56
| Buzz saw something about celebrities named in the Mitchell Report but they won't name names. Steve's on steroids now, can anyone tell? |
| 8:57
| Steve has more on what Buzz is talking about. Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Timbaland, Wyclef Jean and Tyler Perry have emerged in an Albany-based investigation of steroid trafficking. |
| 8:58
| The rappers have to take their shirts off which is why Steve never became a rapper. He didn't like the shirts and skins aspect. |
| 8:59
| LeBron James was caught doing 101 in a 65. Steve was doing close to that and he didn't get written up. The good news is that when LeBron does over 100 every gets free Big Mac. |
| 9:00
| Pat will not be on tomorrow, he's going to a funeral out of town. Ben Gay will be filling and probably lobbying for the full-time gig. |
| 9:01
| Buzz is wondering if Ben will be on the phone since Pat always calls in. Ben will be in studio but one of the things he says about Pat is that he always phones it in. |
| 9:02
| Just a reminder, Pete, Brendan, Jim, Ed and Penny will be out at Whirlyball tonight from 6:30-9:30. |

| Drew is here to read from The Enquirer. He's not talking about himself any more and luckily he's not in this issue. |
| 9:09
| Drew is looking to sell interviews from now on. It seems like everyone already knows everything though. He probably should have hired a publicist early on. |
| 9:10
| Drew's attorney is still giving interviews, they'll have to have a discussion about that. |
| 9:11
| Brodsky gave an interview to the Chicago Tribune which was in today's paper. He said that if Drew is charged he'll bring in more lawyers but it'll still be his show. |
| 9:12
| Getting Drew as a client was a watershed moment for him though. Brodsky's corner office on South Michigan Avenue overlooks Grant Park. Drew's been there of course. Afterwards they went over by Millennium Park and went ice skating. They're involved in a bromance. |
| 9:13
| Buzz is still hoping for a Drew Peterson TV movie. Drew's publicist says he can't talk about his days as a police officer because there's a deal in the works for someone else to tell it. What does that mean? |
| 9:14
| On the cover of The Enquirer this week, Steve Irwin's wife is using a psychic to try to contact her husband. Also, learn what Oprah says behind the backs of celebrities she doesn't like. Buzz is on that list by the way. |
| 9:15
| The main story is Britney's breakdown, a minute-by-minute accounting of what went down. Also, meth might have been what led to the breakdown. |
| 9:16
| Buzz is wondering if Drew could tell him which celebrities Oprah doesn't like. Then he'd be skipping over the story of Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson's bromance in Hawaii. |
| 9:17
| Steadman has moved out too but that's now what Buzz wants to know about. Oprah's living alone after Steadman moved out according to The Enquirer. Only weeks ago The Enquirer reported that Oprah and Steadman were seeing a therapist. |
| 9:18
| A new book is also detailing Oprah and Gail's relationship. It also details he celebrity enemies list, including a feud with Tom Cruise and her problems with Maya Angelou. |
| 9:19
| Oprah was reportedly upset that she wasn't invited to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding in Italy. She wasn't invited after he jumped all over her couch? |
| 9:20
| Now that Drew's home a lot in the afternoons he's watching a lot of TV, including that new Rachel Ray TV show. |
| 9:21
| Rachel Ray doesn't even cook on her show, it's a talk show. She's hot when she's bent over a butcher block but not sitting on a couch. |
| 9:22
| According to The Enquirer Oprah dissed Rosie for no longer having her own talk show and having to be part of the ensemble of The View. |
| 9:23
| That's all Drew has on Oprah. It's entirely possible that none of it is true. It's worded cleverly so you don't really know what they're talking about but you think they know. |
| 9:24
| Drew's being told we need to take a break. He could leave or he could continue with The Enquirer. There are some other stories in here. |
| 9:32
| Alright, we've got Britney and the meth stuff from The Enquirer. According to sources she said she'd kill the kids. A judge is going to frown on that at the custody hearing. |
| 9:33
| During a harrowing 4 hour stand-off with the police Britney made that threat, according to Enquirer sources. |
| 9:34
| The 26-year old singer refused to let her two kids leave her house after visitation. She's only 26? She's too young for Drew though. |
| 9:35
| Sources said Kevin Federline raced over to Britney's house worried that she'd kill the kids and herself. |
| 9:36
| Cops surrounded Britney's house because that's what they do. That's what Drew did during his 29 years serving the people of Bolingbrook. And this is how they repay him. |
| 9:37
| Buzz is wondering if Drew ever surrounded any houses in his day. As a cop he did, usually it was the house of a girlfriend or wife though. |
| 9:38
| Buzz is trying to get info from Drew for free. He'll have to charge him $20 just for what he's revealed so far. |
| 9:39
| Britney was reportedly upset when she heard that K-Fed had been spotted partying with Paris HIlton. |
| 9:40
| DId Buzz see that video of Paris falling down? She just got right back up and kept going. |
| 9:41
| Drew is hoping to get some voiceover work once this whole thing blows over with him. Of course Buzz feels any narration just takes away from a movie. |
| 9:42
| Britney was taken to Cedars-Sinai which is where Dr. Phil tried to talk to her. |
| 9:43
| Police officers are saying she wasn't on anything as far as they could tell. There's a lot more here about Britney but we probably don't have time for it. |
| 9:44
| Did Drew get to the bromance between Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson? They're hanging out in Hawaii. Woody's probably keeping him alive. |
| 9:45
| Could Drew do some of his own gossip talk? Because Kate Hudson did that movie with Matthew McConaughey and he seems like the type who can get into any woman's pants. That probably caused some of the problems with Owen Wilson. |
| 9:46
| Caller Leela was thinking that maybe Britney has Stockholm syndrome with the paparazzi. Even though she lives in L.A.? |
| 9:47
| Now Britney is supposedly dating a paparazzi who's trying to sell nude photos of her. |
| 9:48
| Caller Brian is an EMT. When someone is acting erratic someone can call the paramedics and you can be brought to the hospital. |
| 9:49
| If they're not even sure if Britney is on meth or not why is she all over The Enquirer? |
| 9:50
| Drew should at least be somewhere in this issue, his wife is still missing. That paragraph about Tracy Morgan's troubled marriage could be about Drew. |
| 9:57
| Cops in L.A. are saying Britney was not on anything during the stand-off and will not be charged with anything. She was held in the hospital for 72 hours for observation. |
| 9:58
| She was acting erratically. Usually you're on something if you're acting erratically. |
| 9:59
| Steve feels bad for Britney though. At some point she's not talented enough to withstand something like this. |
