| 5:28
| That's Duran Duran, Buzz's favorite band. Buzz called Steve last night and requested that the show start off with Duran Duran. |
| 5:29
| Steve's headphones are broken. They've actually been ripped off at the jack which Buzz has never seen before. |
| 5:30
| Steve knows who did it too, it was Pete. He's mad because his studio was up-ended so they could replace his computer. Pete never bothered to tell anyone that the Pro Tools software he had was from 1995. He also had one of those turquoise Macs. |
| 5:31
| Pete has an alibi, he left right after the show yesterday for a doctors appointment and didn't even go into the studio. |
| 5:32
| It could have been Steve the engineer who's also mad at Steve. Steve said that something he did was horse-bleep while the engineer was staring him down. |
| 5:33
| Steve thought they'd agreed that no settings would be changed without letting him know. Steve had to dial it up to a crazy that he likes to call WLS Steve. That was the Steve who was suspended for a week at least once a month. |
| 5:34
| Has Buzz seen Pete's studio yet? It always looks like a bomb went off in their but now it's all stacked in one place. How is Pete doing with all of these changes? |
| 5:35
| It's amazing the amount of man hours that go into making sure Pete's OK with everything. You have to have an intervention in his studio when he gets there just to make sure he'll be OK. |
| 5:36
| Steve the engineer is on the phone, he did not break the headphones either. So he wasn't dancing in there to Duran Duran? |
| 5:37
| Steve the engineer was holed up in Pete's studio all day installing the new computer. He did have a good suggestion though, we should get one of those TV shows in here where they help you organize your life. |
| 5:38
| Steve the engineer has never seen anything like Pete's studio. He actually shed a tear worrying about how Pete would handle things this morning. Why does everyone worry this much about Pete? He works hard and all but he just locks himself in a room listening to music and watching old TV shows. |
| 5:39
| Pete is like that one guy in high school who somehow got all the girls to feel sorry for him. It's like Pete is very fragile and if one thing goes wrong he breaks. |
| 5:40
| Pete also got a new chair in there because his old one was broken. Also, there was a giant hole in the plastic floor mat that you slide your chair over. Now we know why it took Pete so long to get to the microphone. |
| 5:41
| OK so Duran Duran started the show. Hungry Like the Wolf was their second hit, Rio was probably their first one. This station plays too much Duran Duran. Who likes Duran Duran anyway? It seems like it's just the ladies although Jack's general manager, Peter, also likes them and he's not a lady. |
| 5:42
| Guitarist Andy Taylor told Blender that the track came from fiddling with new technology at the time. What's Blender? It must be a music publication. |
| 5:43
| Taylor also said that he started working on a Marc Bolan-ish guitar part with a Marshall-sounding Les Paul guitar lick. Steve loves when musicians act like they have a plan. |
| 5:50
| That was a drop from some music Jeopardy with Joe Walsh and someone else. Who was the other guy? It was Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray. |
| 5:51
| Steve went into Pete's studio during the break, he has a lot of stuff. There was a whole bunch of stuff underneath his console too. Also, the plastic mat is a chair runner! CHAIR RUNNER! Ed Silha was checking in with that one. |
| 5:52
| Steve took Ed to the Hawks game last night and he thought that their butts touched a little too much in the seats. They had a good time though, Ed should call in if he wants. |
| 5:53
| Steve saw Rocky Wirtz who he hadn't seen in a while as well as Dave Kaplan from WGN. He saw a lot of people, he's Mr. United Center. |
| 5:54
| Steve saw a lot of fans too which is nice, although they get loud if they're hammered. He also saw a guy who was the bartender at Mother's when Steve and Garry did a Halloween show there. Steve remembers it being a total nightmare. |
| 5:55
| Then the bartender asked Steve if he was still on the air. Why do people do that? You don't do that to other people you just run into do you? You dance around those questions, maybe ask something like "how's the job going?" |
| 5:56
| Ed Silha is on the phone. Steve blew that guy off though, he just went back to his iPhone. Everyone else was nice but they're just loud. Or is that just Steve because his name is being yelled out? |
| 5:57
| Plus it was Mike North's night, no reason to take anything away from that. He did the honorary puck drop and he got booed a bit. They boo everyone. Steve's already prepared himself to get booed. |
| 5:58
| Ed didn't notice any butt touching last night but that's what happens with sports venue seating. At some point Steve was enjoying it which scared him. |
| 5:59
| Steve left with 5 minutes left in the game when the Hawks were up 5-1. Then they scored another goal and Steve got bummed out when he heard there might be a fight after the game. |
| 6:00
| Steve even let a guy sit in the front row who wasn't supposed to be there. He heard some other guys talking about how they were going to let their friend come down and sit in the empty seat next to Ed. |
| 6:01
| Steve heard that and went up to talk to the Andy Frain usher and told him exactly what he wanted him to do. But the guy did nothing. After the game Steve had a few words with him. What's the point of having an usher if they're not going to do anything? Plus Steve's ticket probably gets checked 10 times a game. |
| 6:02
| Of course the guys got hammered and didn't pay attention to the game at all. It seemed like they all played adult hockey too. And one of them said he didn't think he'd be able to see from these seats in the second row. |
| 6:03
| Steve needs to bring a tape recorder to a game and just leave it on in his pocket. Why would you think seats in the second row wouldn't be good? You're right on the ice! Then the guy kept saying that the better seats were in the middle. |
| 6:04
| There's a lot of weird chatter at Hawks games, some directed at Steve and some for his benefit. Why would you think second row seats wouldn't be good? Steve likes his seats at the end near the goal. |
| 6:05
| Steve's seats are also the shortest distance to the lot that he parks in and parking is key. There's a guy in that lot who will start your car and turn it around in the right direction for you. Steve's usually home in 25 minutes. |
| 6:06
| He felt bad because one guy yelled his name as he was leaving but he couldn't stop to talk. Once he's in leaving mode he can't be deterred. He also almost hit a few kids who were goofy around in the parking lot. |
| 6:07
| At dinner Ed had the mixed green salad and a chicken breast sandiwch and Steve had a Caesar salad and short ribs. He did not succumb to a bratwurst or a Snickers bar like he really wanted to. It would be nice if they had frozen Snickers bars. Maybe he could bring some fishing line and lower the Snickers bar onto the ice during the intermission, pulling it up when the Zamboni comes by. |
| 6:08
| Buzz feels pathetic because sat at home last night, alone, eating Rice Bowls and watching X-Files reruns. Steve would take Buzz to a game but he doesn't see that happening during the week. |
| 6:09
| Buzz comes with the added burden of having to be driven home. Steve didn't mind doing that in afternoons but he can't do that with the morning show. Buzz could take a cab home but it doesn't seem like anyone on the show should be going during the week. Of course Ed went and look at him. He did sound a little down this morning though. |
| 6:10
| Steve had some hockey talk last night while waiting in line to get into the stadium. It was the first time he'd talked with someone he didn't know about hockey and he felt good about it. |
| 6:11
| One of the points Steve made is that Cam Barker is not playing hard enough. Although he played better last night. Lately he hasn't been finishing off checks though. |
| 6:12
| Turns out the guy Steve talked to is the boss of one of Ed's friends, Mary. She's been on a few trips with the show but she's married so she's unattainable. The guy asked Steve to leave her a voicemail saying hello and then she got it and called Ed. |
| 6:13
| Steve also told Rocky that the Rockford Ice Hogs was a great move by the organization. They're in the same league as the Chicago Wolves so it's competition. |
| 6:14
| There was also a guy from Judge & Dolph who was giving Steve and the show full credit for making Templeton Rye popular in Chicago. |
| 6:15
| Caller Mary is Ed's friend. She was floored when she got Steve's voicemail. Could she ask her boss what he thought about his hockey talk? |
| 6:16
| Mary and her friend Tracy are friends from high school, they were both in the band. Steve remembers on one trip when Mary's bikini broke, that was exciting. |
| 6:17
| There's not that much to break on a bikini and there's not that much that gets exposed but it's just enough to be exciting. The fact that Buzz even remembers it means it was exciting. He walked in today and demanded to know who Steve was. |
| 6:18
| As Steve was waiting in line to get in he realized he needed to get a press pass. He left at 5 and thought it would take him longer to get down there. He took Ogden and they don't seem to have any rush hour traffic. It does go through a fairly desolate stretch that might have a high unemployment rate. That really cuts down on the rush hour traffic. |
| 6:24
| Steve was thinking that maybe the former bartender at Mother's was confusing Steve with Garry. When Garry doesn't have a job he likes to go out and be seen. |
| 6:25
| If Steve didn't have a job you'd never see him because he'd be ashamed of himself. When Steve didn't have a job for a few months in 1996 he went to Florida so no one would see him. |
| 6:26
| So if you see Steve out and about that means he has a job. Plus how could he afford the hockey tickets if he didn't have a job? |
| 6:27
| Some people probably assume Steve gets tickets free but he likes to pay for them. This city has given Steve a lot, he can pay for tickets. It's funny though, the less you need things, the more they're offered to you. |
| 6:28
| Steve likes paying for things and he doesn't like when he's not allowed to pay for something. If someone gave Steve a share in a jet or a jet card he'd take it. |
| 6:29
| Even then Steve would feel guilty because he couldn't possibly pay them back, even if he mentioned jets on the air everyday. It also might be illegal to do that. Buzz had to explain that to someone the other day, they wanted a mention on the air. |
| 6:30
| Time for today's web poll, "are you carrying any concealed weapons?" An honor student in Grayslake was reprimanded for bringing a flashlight with several tools connected including a knife to school. |
| 6:31
| The student wants to get a job as a firefighter or go to college and his ticket for reckless conduct could follow him. |
| 6:32
| The student is circulating a petition for people who support him and will present it in court. He was worried about this following him around and this whole thing will probably ensure that happens. |
| 6:33
| You can't bring a knife to school, that's all there is to it. They have a zero tolerance policy. You can't even bring aspirin to school. |
| 6:34
| It seems like someone needs a little attention here. Forget about the petition, just get a lawyer. |
| 6:35
| It's not even a Swiss Army knife, it's just some lame knock-off. It might have even been made by the Totes people. He should be fined just for that. |
| 6:36
| How does this become a story? Probably because he's going around with a petition and notifying the media. Buzz looks at the Sun-Times every morning and wonders where their priorities are. |
| 6:37
| Buzz needs to start reading the Tribune, it's the real paper. If it wasn't Steve wouldn't write for it. He's got an article in there today in the At Play section. |
| 6:38
| Buzz loves the Sun-Times but it probably won't be around in 2 weeks. He might want to start making the transition now. They're talking about it only being online. That's like Dahl.com. Does Steve have his own newspaper too? |
| 6:39
| If Buzz had the time he'd read both papers, he loves reading the paper. You'd think as the newsman he'd prioritize that and make time for both. |
| 6:40
| The cover of the Sun-Times is like The Enquirer only without the excitement. So is Buzz looking for an alien story or something? |
| 6:41
| Caller Matt has been on hold forever. Steve's going to take the call just to clear his screen. Matt thanks Steve and Buzz for being on in the mornings, plus it's free to the listener. |
| 6:48
| Is Buzz ready for the news? He wants to know what happened to the tape? Steve was just going to keep going but now that it's been brought up, what happened? |
| 6:49
| Pete can play it if Buzz would like to hear it. He just looks forward to the tapes, that's all. It's from last week's Monk episode where he joins a cult led by Howie Mandel. Buzz is sorry he missed that. |
| 6:50
| News with Buzz |
| 6:51
| OJ Simpson's bail has been doubled and he got quite a tongue-lashing from the judge. OJ stood in court in his prison jumpsuit with that remorseful look in his eyes. Buzz thought he was on the verge of tears. |
| 6:52
| That's the same look he had throughout the entire murder trial. Meanwhile he's a cold-blooded killer. He was convicted in the civil trial and it seemed like he was convicted 100 times in the criminal trial. |
| 6:53
| Hillary Clinton has welcomed her traveling press corps aboard her new campaign with a "welcome aboard Hil Force One" greeting. Someone wrote that and told her to say it right? She doesn't seem that spontaneous. Unless she was taking Second City classes when she lived here. |
| 6:54
| Ike Turner's life of drug use may have caught up with him according to coroner's reports. Turner had cocaine in his system when he died, but it also said he died in his sleep. Maybe it was really bad cocaine. |
| 6:55
| Steve's pretty sure that when people take cocaine, or blow, or Peruvian marching powder, they also take something like Valium. |
| 6:56
| Steve's favorite scene in What's Love Got to Do With It? is when Ike and his son, both with big afros, are up all night doing coke. Although the cake scene in the diner is also good. |
| 6:57
| Joel Brodsky has evidence that Stacy Peterson may have been having an affair. So what? It does give credence to Drew's claim that she left him for another man. Although it also shows that he had motivation to whack her. |
| 6:58
| Didn't we know all this from the male nurse that was at Denny's with Stacy? The text message was more explicit, it basically thanked Stacy for the great ride. |
| 6:59
| The message said You my love are the hottest b ---- in the world." We can say bitch can't we? Steve can't say the next part but it has a rodeo feel to it. Also riding is spelled with one D. |
| 7:00
| This doesn't really bolster Drew's claims that Stacy ran off. Drew found it when fiddling around with Stacy's fun. |
| 7:01
| Is Brodsky just making stuff up to keep himself in the spotlight? Drew's just looking through the phone and he sees this text message and probably wonders when they got a horse. |
| 7:02
| Someone should be able to trace where the text message came from and then find out who she ran off with. |
| 7:03
| If Drew was looking at the phone it should have displayed a phone number which he could have called. It's not as exciting as releasing the text message though. |
| 7:04
| These are the winter doldrums, you've got to keep things interesting. The Bears aren't in the playoffs, it's cold out. |
| 7:05
| Caller Dawn wanted to let Steve know that the text message was sent through the Verizon website. That's pretty clever of whoever sent it. |
| 7:06
| Steve's seeing all that now on his page. Sprint Nextel spokesman Dave DeVries said that anyone can use his company's website to send text messages to Spring customers. They don't have to log in or open an account either. |
| 7:07
| Steve knows Dave DeVries, he was the guy who use to give everyone free phones. Then the whole thing got screwed up. |
| 7:08
| Steve's pretty sure that was a Dan Falato thing. Dan even claimed that Dave didn't work for Sprint any more and had to take all the phones back. It's pretty clear he still works there. |
| 7:09
| That was a sweet deal everyone had, Steve wants his phone back! Buzz still has his phone but he has to pay for it. |
| 7:10
| Steve's going to let it go though because he has an iPhone now and he's happy with it. It was still misrepresented by Dan though. |
| 7:11
| Steve really feels bad for Buzz, he has a 4 year old phone that he's now paying for. His phone looks like a platform shoe, that's how old it is. |
| 7:12
| A Chicago woman is claiming someone licked her toes during an eye examine. She field suit against a Skokie eye doctor and the doctor's former assistant. |
| 7:13
| The incident according in July which is your good toe-licking time. Roman Tesfaye was brought into an exam room and told that a strip test was going to be performed on her. That's your first indication that you should leave and sit in the waiting room. |
| 7:14
| Tesfaye was told she had to keep her eyes closed for 5-7 minutes and then the examination chair was reclined and her legs raised onto another chair. That seems like another indicator that you should leave. |
| 7:15
| Tesfaye felt her shoe fall off but didn't open her eyes until she felt something weird on her toes. When she opened her eyes the assistant was pulling his shirt down. Why was his shirt up? Does that just heighten the whole thing? |
| 7:16
| Don't people know that you can just hire someone who will let you lick their toes? It's probably better when you can do it to an unsuspecting stranger and get sued for $50,000. |
| 7:17
| A Wisconsin man was arrested after forcing his son to wear a Green Bay Packers jersey. The man wanted his son to put the jersey on during last weekend's playoff game against the Seahawks. |
| 7:18
| When the boy refused his father allegedly restrained the boy for an hour with tape and then taped the jersey on to him. Steve knows this is a story because it's the Packers but aren't kids supposed to do what you tell them to do? |
| 7:19
| Going back to that toe-licking thing, a lot of people don't know this but Buzz was almost a dentist. He was afraid to be alone in an examine room with someone because he could see their uvula. No one sees the uvula more than a dentist. |
| 7:25
| So that text message on Stacy's phone could have been sent by anyone right? It's all anonymous. |
| 7:26
| It's too bad because it could have given Drew at least one name to check out. Steve doesn't see Drew finding that text message and just saying "what the heck was that?" |
| 7:27
| Imagine if you're 47 and you manage to score a 17-year old girl who you then knock-up. Then your third wife dies tragically in a bath tub. |
| 7:28
| At some point that young girl is going to start looking for someone closer to his age. You'd think Drew would be riding those fences a little closer. "What the heck is this?" doesn't seem like his response. |
| 7:29
| The thing Steve is marveling at the most is the guy licking the toes with his shirt up. You have to admire a guy who knows what he wants, even if it's not right. |
| 7:30
| You need to have that shirt up to let the midsection breathe. Toe-licking is not something Steve is into. Steve wouldn't want to do something that someone wouldn't want him to do. |
| 7:31
| That's not for Steve although he does have his shirt up while he's talking to Buzz. That's getting him off, heavily. |
| 7:32
| Song: Santa Monica, Everclear |
| 7:35
| Steve knows the guys in Everclear are younger than him but their songs have a lot of references to Southern California so Steve can relate. |
| 7:36
| There's that one song they did about listening to A.M. radio that mentioned KHJ where Steve used to work. He always means to find out more about then but he never does. |
| 7:37
| Santa Monica was a hit from Everclear's 1995 album Sparkle and Fade. It's about lead singer Art Alexakis attempting suicide while living in Santa Monica. It was banned after the September 11th attacks from Clear Channel stations. |
| 7:38
| The band formed in Portland in 1992 so how did they grow up listening to KHJ in California? Someone must have moved up to Portland or something. |
| 7:39
| Steve always wanted to work for KHJ. It would be like growing up here and wanting to work for WLS when it was a Top 40 station. One of Steve's favorite tapes in his collection is of Brother Tom Dooley quitting KHJ, on the air, but refusing to break format. |
| 7:40
| Caller Johnny wanted to let Steve know that Art Alexakis was born in 1962 and he grew up in L.A. before moving to Portland. So he's an older guy. |
| 7:41
| Steve doesn't think 1962 is that old. But they're from the same era so now it all makes sense. |
| 7:42
| Steve plays the Tom Dooley tape. According to legend Dooley then got up, took his headphones off and walked off. |
| 7:43
| Steve cut the tape off but there's more after that when the news guy disavows everything Dooley just said. |
| 7:44
| Todd Cavanah is going to love talking about this today because he loves radio. |
| 7:45
| Tom Dooley is still in radio but he found the Lord. He was on his way to something based on that tape. He probably broke it all the way down and built it back up to something special. |
| 7:46
| He does 2 hour daily show called The Journey and a 3 hour weekend show. He also founded Master Media Ministries. |
| 7:47
| Steve has some tape of that show but it doesn't sound like Tom Dooley. |
| 7:54
| Steve's going to play the Tom Dooley tape again. If you're in radio you really sell the call letters. Dooley sells KHJ even though he knows what he's about to do. |
| 7:55
| That's what Steve finds so fascinating. This might be the most prized tape in his collection. |
| 7:56
| And now some audio from a Brother Tom Dooley podcast. Buzz will find that it is the same guy. |
| 7:57
| Most Christian music sounds good but the lyrics creep Steve out. He likes songs to be about chicks and dudes. Do Christian musicians get better ideas for songs because they're about God? It seems unfair that they get the best ideas because they're over-the-top Christians. |
| 7:58
| Today is the day when a listener calls in to make a Taco Bell lunch date with Steve. Although they don't actually go to lunch. |
| 7:59
| Buzz feels that the personal lives of most Christian musicians are probably in order, more so than your average drugged-out musician. So they have a clearer vision. |
| 8:00
| Steve's always just bummed out when the song turns out to not be about some woman. |
| 8:01
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 8:02
| It's time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve's Taco Pal today is Julie. Steve prefers when his lunch date is a woman. |
| 8:03
| Julie appreciates Steve and Buzz being on in the mornings. They like it too. Buzz actually has a spring in his step. |
| 8:04
| Julie will be going to the Taco Bell in Orland Park on 159th Street. Steve knows where that is. |
| 8:05
| Julie was thinking of getting two Taco Supremes but she should probably just have one. Steve's recommending the Taco Supreme fresco-style. |
| 8:06
| Julie was wondering if she could bring her sister to the lunch. That sounds like just what Steve needs this afternoon. |
| 8:07
| These fresco-style tacos are only 150 calories. You could eat 9 of those a day and that would be a hardcore diet. |
| 8:08
| Steve has some more info about this taco if Buzz doesn't mind. He'll probably start craving a taco though. |
| 8:09
| 170 calories is nothing! Buzz just had a bad trail mix bar with the same amount of calories. It was like eating sawdust with raisins in it. |
| 8:10
| Steve's going to Pilates today, he doesn't want to see Buzz looking in that room though. Buzz isn't going to the gym today. |
| 8:11
| Steve's Pilates instructor is obsessed with his waist size because she wants to see results. Steve carries most of his weight around the waist so he'll know if there are any changes. |
| 8:12
| She wants Steve's trainer to measure his waist but he'd rather have her do it. The only guy that's going to measure his waist is a short Italian guy fitting him for a suit. |
| 8:13
| Steve was just fitted for a new suit at Mark Shale. He just thought he should have one. They're currently making shirts for him. Buzz sees that as his casino look for when they open one downtown. |
| 8:14
| Steve already has the tuxedo from Mark Shale. Life is much easier when you need a tuxedo and you actually have one. During Pat's wedding preparations everyone was running around renting and picking up tuxes but Steve didn't have to worry about it. |
| 8:15
| He did bring his tux down to the office just to make sure it still fit. The Mark Shale people actually had to take the pants in a little bit. Steve's never had that happen before. |
| 8:16
| Steve felt a lot better at the Escoffier dinner because he had his own tux, not a rental. He's bringing Patrick Bertoletti to the dinner this year and he'll have a rental so Steve will look down on him. |
| 8:17
| Steve had the time of his life at the Escoffier dinner last year. He thought he'd be really uncomfortable when Hans pitched it to him though. As it turns out when Hans pitches something crazy you just have to go with it. |
| 8:18
| Caller Bruce was wondering if Steve had a chance to see To Catch a Predator over his hiatus. One of them involved a tasing. Steve didn't know that was going on. |
| 8:19
| That To Catch a Predator house couldn't look more like a set-up. Of course once you're at the house it's probably too late right? |
| 8:20
| Then the guys always start answering Chris Hanson's questions. He might not identify himself right away so the person probably thinks he's a cop or a parent. |
| 8:21
| Bruce has also won a copy of Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows. In the words of Terrell Owens "getcha popcorn ready!" |
| 8:22
| Steve can't get enough of To Catch a Predator but he's not ready to start ensnaring predators as part of Perverted Justice. |
| 8:23
| Buzz couldn't do that job because he starts to feel bad for the predators at some point. At what point is Perverted Justice entrapment? |
| 8:24
| Perverted Justice is a bunch of adults pretending they're underage and they know exactly what to say to people. Maybe you had never thought of doing anything like that until this opportunity comes along. |
| 8:32
| Pat Boyle from Comcast is on the phone. He saw Luke Stuckmeyer at the Hawks game last night, he kept playing with his iPhone. |
| 8:33
| Steve got to see a win though but it wasn't against the Blues back-up goalie. Of course the Hawks started their back-up goalie as well but he might not be the back-up for long. |
| 8:34
| Savard said that he's going to continue starting Patrick Laline until he loses a game. |
| 8:35
| It seems like the Blackhawks have been held back by goaltending lately. That's Pat's biggest problem with Khabibulin. He's like Ben Wallace on skates. |
| 8:36
| Khabibulin is the highest paid Blackhawk ever, in the entire history. People say he's been solid this year but he needs to be more than solid for $7 million a year. |
| 8:37
| The Bulls won last night but that's still a sinking ship. As Steve said in the Thought for the Day "Scott Skiles was like Saddam Hussein because even though they were brutal dictators, they managed to keep a lid on some really ugly things." Turns out Saddam was keeping a lid on the craziest country in the world. |
| 8:38
| It seems like Jim Boylan is finally starting to crack though. He said yesterday that he's in charge of the team and he disciplines the players. |
| 8:39
| Buzz seems to recall Boylan saying the players did a good job disciplining Joakim Noah. |
| 8:40
| The Cubs brought back Jon Lieber to compete for the #5 spot in the rotation. Isn't the Cubs convention this weekend? |
| 8:41
| It's supposed to be 5º tomorrow which seems like a good day to be indoors thinking about baseball. Actually it's supposed to be 5º on Saturday. |
| 8:42
| It'll probably be -5º at game time on Sunday in Lambeau Field. The Giants are used to cold weather but that's still really cold. |
| 8:43
| It'll be cold at Gillette Stadium this weekend too and the Chargers are not used to the cold weather. The Patriots probably have a few other advantages as well. |
| 8:44
| What's that logo that's on the field of Gillette Stadium? It sort of looks like it could be a razor or something. Pat's not sure what Steve's talking about, he didn't know the NFL let you put other logos on the field. |
| 8:45
| That must be the Gillette logo or something right? |
| 8:46
| A woman is Florida is claiming Randy Moss assaulted her and the hearing for that has been scheduled for 6 days before the Super Bowl. |
| 8:47
| Good news for Pacman Jones though, the woman who filed an assault charge against him has withdrawn her claim. Can you do that? An assault is an assault isn't it? |
| 8:55
| Caller Jana wanted to let Steve know that the logo on the field at Gillette Stadium's field is a bridge and tower. |
| 8:56
| There's a bridge and tower at the entrance to the stadium. They need to get something better than that because it's lost on Steve. |
| 8:57
| Steve was thinking the other day that the grounds crew at Lambeau should mix salt in with the white paint they use to paint the lines. That way Steve wouldn't get irritated when the crew goes out there and clears the lines unevenly. |

| News with Buzz |
| 9:03
| The big story is that the Juice is on the loose. That's the big story? OJ's judge doubled his bail and gave him quite a tongue lashing. Steve misses the judge with the ponytail. |
| 9:04
| A Marine on the run from authorities may be tough to catch because of his skills in adaptability. That's according to one of his colleagues |
| 9:05
| A Virginia state Senator wants to make it legal for employers to fire people who don't speak English. |
| 9:06
| Scientists at Rice University have created the darkest material known to man. It's a carpet of nanotubes. Steve has a carpet just like that. |
| 9:07
| Richard Knerr, co-founder of Wham-O and inventor of the hula hoop and frisbee died Monday in California. |
| 9:08
| He also invented the Water Wiggle and the Slip 'N Slide. |
| 9:09
| A suspect in a string of burglaries in Phoenix is in custody thanks to a 14-year-old boy. The boy saw the man breaking into a kitchen window and ran upstairs to hide in his closet. |
| 9:10
| The boy then came out of the closet and beat the burglar with a bat when he came into his room. Buzz has tape of the 9-1-1 call. |
| 9:11
| That sounds fake, Steve feels we'll learn it's fake eventually. Although they did arrest a guy so maybe not. Did Buzz and the Buzz Kilman Player recreate that in Pete's studio? |
| 9:12
| Chicago is getting ready for the coldest temperatures of the year this weekend, it's expected to get as low as 5º. Steve doesn't mind when it's cold. He longs for the days when it was -80º with the wind chill. |
| 9:13
| Drew Peterson's attorney claims that Stacy was sent a racy text message in September which proves she was having an affair. |
| 9:14
| Of course we also learned that you can send anonymous text messages from the Sprint Nextel website. You probably can't get a text back that way so what would be the point of doing it? |
| 9:15
| It doesn't make any sense but it'll probably work. That's the lynchpin of Drew's defense, along with the fact that there's no body. Habeus corpus! And that's not a town in Texas. |
| 9:16
| The guy who send the text message ain't wrong that, that broad is good in the sack. Everything Stacy knows, Drew taught her. Look at him, look into his eyes. You think he doesn't have things to teach becuase he does. |
| 9:17
| It might be this guy's good time but it's Drew's legacy. Every time you look at her lip and it has no hair on it, every time you look at her tummy and it's tucked, every time you look at her boobs and they're bigger, that's Drew. |
| 9:18
| It's a Cinderella story really and this is how she repays him? Much like the people of Bolingbrook repaid him after 29 years of service, with the cold shoulder. He can't even go to Disney World. |
| 9:19
| As a concerned father, a lover, a Parrothead and a police officer Drew felt it was incumbent to talk to the media. One regret he has is that he wore the Old Navy hoodie in that one photo. He should have something cooler like Under Armour. |
| 9:20
| Maybe if Drew could get paid to do an Old Navy commercial with Morgan Fairchild that would be alright. |
| 9:21
| A West Dundee woman was charged with stabbing to death her estranged husband's two lizards. Her attorney isn't disputing that she stabbed the two bearded dragon lizards, Fred and Ethel. The attorney is challenging the state law that the lizards are companion animals. If they're not, charges could be reduced. |
| 9:22
| How is a lizard a companion animal? That's an insult to dogs. |
| 9:30
| Steve wasn't ready so he doesn't know what Buzz was laughing at. Unless he's laughing at Steve not being ready. |
| 9:31
| Buzz can't throw out a time or temperature or a PSA when Steve's not ready? Steve's working on something that he promised to do before the hiatus so he wasn't ready. |
| 9:32
| Steve promised to record Have You Seen Her? as Drew before the hiatus but then his computer crashed. He's going to try to do it live right now. |
| 9:33
| Drew would like to send this one out to Stacy, wherever she is. She's somewheres though and she's definitely breathing. |
| 9:34
| OK, Steve has to start over again. Should he just start from the beginning? |
| 9:35
| OK, take two. Wait he didn't come in that the right time. Steve might have to do this at home, it's more complicated than it seems. |
| 9:36
| Should Steve try one more time? Buzz can't get enough of it but he's mean-spirited. What does Steve care, there's a hunger for it. |
| 9:37
| Steve's going to try it one more time, he feels that he's very close to getting it right. And when he does it's going to be so sweet. |
| 9:38
| Buzz can't sense the magic but it hasn't quite happened yet. Luckily we're here until 10. |
| 9:40
| It's very close to happening which is exciting to Buzz. The lyrics don't seem to match up with the karaoke version Steve has. |
| 9:41
| Steve will work on that this afternoon. Although he likes doing it live so he can add new things to it. |
| 9:42
| Steve will call Buzz all afternoon and update him on his progress. |
| 9:50
| Alright how about a mailbag? Steve's trying to decide which emails he should go with today. |
| 9:51
| He's got a really crazy one that was written in a whole bunch of different fonts like it's a ransom note. |
| 9:52
| This email is regarding Brendan. After he said he wondered why he wasn't getting many phone calls yesterday the guy sent this email. Apparently Brendan met this guy at Whirlyball. |
| 9:53
| The emailer went into help-at-all-cost mode which had crosses on either side. He wanted to get Steve the message that the phones were done. He even emailed David Hochberg thinking he had Steve's cellphone number. |
| 9:54
| He also took the time to ask David about his own mortgage situation and all of his questions were answered. |
| 9:55
| Then it's some guy who wants Steve to take his computer to his store to get fixed. Brendan remembers meeting this guy, he got a t-shirt from him which was kind of funky. Good thing Brendan loves funky t-shirts. |
| 9:56
| The shirt wasn't folded and had a strange smell to it. That's exactly what Brendan is looking for right? Turns out the guy took it right off his back after a game of Whirlyball and gave it to Brendan. |
| 9:57
| The phones weren't out yesterday were they? Steve always thinks the phones are out when no one is calling. What happened to the shirt, is Brendan wearing it now? |
| 9:58
| The next emailer wanted to let Steve know that the reason he can't wear gym shoes to Pilates is because the shoes can spread ringworm. That seems a little alarmist. |
| 9:59
| The final emailer was listening to the show from Belgium. Buzz doesn't remember doing a show in Belgium! He heard Steve talking about walking through the clouds of smokers and thought it'd be good if they could all see themselves smoking. |
| 10:00
| That actually prompted the guy to quit smoking. It's going to make his waffles taste much better. |
