| A lot of people don't know that Buzz plays harmonica on War's Low Rider. Everyone credits that Lee Oscar guy but as it turns out he was a total loser and Eric Burdon had to fly Buzz in. |
| 5:32
| Maybe Burdon wasn't in The Animals or Ani-mals as Humble Harv on KHJ used to call them. |
| 5:33
| Humble Harv was of course the DJ who came home from a shift to find a record company promo guy nailing his wife. He shot and killed the wife because he didn't want to lose that contact at the record company. |
| 5:34
| Humble Harv was responsible for Steve's big break in radio. After he shot and killed his wife he was sent to Chino. |
| 5:35
| Steve might be confusing Harv's story with Arte Johnson in Night Gallery but he's pretty sure he taped the last hour of his show so he could get home early and find out what his wife was doing. |
| 5:36
| He only did 8 or 10 years in jail which isn't much considering he murdered someone. |
| 5:37
| Bobby Applegate, Christina Applegate's dad, worked at KPPC as well. He was friends with Harv and organized a basketball game between KPPC staffers and the inmates. |
| 5:38
| Everyone from the station wanted to go out to Chino and Steve was the assistant music director so they told him he'd be on the air. |
| 5:39
| Steve was on the KPPC AM station and their license was owned by a Presbyterian church. In order to keep that license they broadcast on Wednesdays and Sundays which is when Steve worked. |
| 5:40
| When everyone went to Chino Steve was called up to the big leagues which was really just down the hall. |
| 5:41
| Steve was quite ambitious, no wonder he became successful. He had a million jobs, including engineering Ronald Reagan's radio show. |
| 5:42
| Steve was also the producer for Charlie Tuna's morning radio show. Buzz is wondering if there's a chance Charlie Tuna worked in Miami because there was a Big Tuna down there. |
| 5:43
| When Humble Harv got out of jail KKDJ, where Steve was now working, wanted to hire him. Back in those days you had to have a license to be on the air. |
| 5:44
| So it was Steve's job to take Harv down to the Federal building and get him his license. When they got there he freaked out because he'd been in prison and now suddenly he was surrounded by Feds. |
| 5:45
| At one point Harv was curled up like there was an air raid drill going on. Steve eventually got him in to take his test and he got his license. |
| 5:46
| So Harv was responsible for Steve's big break but then Steve helped him get back on the air so it was a weird symmetry. |
| 5:47
| Steve also taught classes at the Columbia School of Broadcasting, not associated with CBS. A lot of his students were African Americans and he had to tell them, with all due respect, that they needed to sound whiter. |
| 5:48
| Buzz was once speaking at a high school on the West side and told the students that they needed to sound whiter. That was recently though, was it not? Didn't Buzz tell them to get jiggy with it or something? |
| 5:56
| Just to finish this Humble Harv thing off, Steve's looking online at various radio geek websites. A lot of these sites have audio from old radio shows but they don't always get to what you want right away. |
| 5:57
| Steve has found some Humble Harv from 1968 but he's not a subscriber so he'll work on that during this song. |
| 5:58
| Song: A.M. Radio, Everclear |
| 6:01
| Steve found exactly what he wanted on some geek DJ website but he has to subscribe and pay with ePay. He doesn't even know what that is. |
| 6:02
| Steve can send $12 in cash, check or money order but that would take 6 days to kick in. That's why these guys never made it in radio. |
| 6:03
| These guys have a lot of nerve selling this audio too since they don't have the rights for them. Steve could be a contributor to the website and become a lifetime member. |
| 6:04
| News with Buzz |
| 6:05
| It looks like the news is action packed today, Steve is looking at 4 audio cuts. |
| 6:06
| First and foremost, and perhaps upsetting to Buzz on a personal note, Bobby Fischer has died. What is Buzz's affinity with Bobby Fischer? It didn't get any nuttier than Bobby Fischer. Steve doesn't like chess although he does like mind games and crazy people. Steve thinks he's fairly intelligent and and can stay a few steps ahead of things (witness the WCKG collapse) but he can't play chess. He can't even play checkers really. He lost at tic-tac-toe to a chicken! |
| 6:07
| Every time Steve plays chess he embarrasses himself. He can appreciate a guy becoming famous just from playing chess. Buzz was so into it that he used to recreate famous chess matches. |
| 6:08
| Was Buzz one of those guys hanging out in a park in Miami playing chess? Do he and Aimee play on that giant chess board when they go to Mexico? |
| 6:09
| During a Bud Selig press conference yesterday his cellphone went off. When he realized it was his wife he said he'd punch her out. That's probably roid rage. |
| 6:10
| The CTA Doomsday crisis has been averted but there were a lot of lawmakers still angry at Blago. |
| 6:11
| Someone wanted to change the bill to make the free transit only available to poor senior citizens. He said that was unmanageable but as it turns out the whole free transit thing is unmanageable. You only get free transit if you live up in this area. |
| 6:12
| It sounded like they were trying to make it like that Com Ed program for people who can't afford electricity. . Steve can't remember the name of that program though. |
| 6:13
| Court documents reveal that three victims of a Christmas tiger attack at the San Francisco zoo were taunting the tiger and could have been intoxicated. |
| 6:14
| Caller Kurt has some info about that Com Ed program, the Low Income Energy Assistance Program. It only applies during certain months in the summer and winter though. |
| 6:15
| Steve and Buzz need to slow down a little bit so they can start getting some of this free stuff. |
| 6:16
| Kurt is a truck driver and he appreciates Steve and Buzz being on early in the mornings. |
| 6:17
| Steve likes the mornings, he's getting used to it. It's tougher getting up when it's really cold out. It actually felt colder to Steve last night than it was this morning. |
| 6:18
| Steve's old school so he likes to fill up the car before it gets cold. He also got a massage yesterday and when he got out of the car it was in the 30s so he left his jacket in the car. |
| 6:19
| When Steve went back to his car the temperature had dropped drastically but he toughed it out and waited for the seat warmer to kick in. |
| 6:20
| When Steve was filling up his tank he got out of his car to put his jacket on but he couldn't get it on right. Then he went around to fill up and he'd forgotten to open the tank. He was completely brain dead. |
| 6:28
| Steve doesn't get Blago's "lemon into lemonade" analogy with this transit bill. Buzz assumes that Blago has sealed his political fate as a governor and presidential hopeful. |
| 6:29
| Steve expects to see him managing a Bennigan's when this term is over. It'll be a poorly run Bennigan's too, they take riblets and make them into lemonade. |
| 6:30
| It seems like the old people don't want the free rides in the first place but they're going to waste $30 million a year giving those out. No one ever asked for a free ride did they? |
| 6:31
| Pam Bosco, spokesperson for Stacy Peterson's family, calls the evidence presented by Drew Peterson is bogus. They do not believe she left under her own accord. Didn't she drive a Grand Prix? |
| 6:32
| Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to work in a morgue as part of community service for drunk driving. Gah-ross! |
| 6:33
| In the wake of reports that Britney Spears has begun to speak with an English accent 4 paparazzi were arrested for reckless driving while chasing Britney's car through the San Fernando Valley. Was it a British car with the steering wheel on the right side? |
| 6:34
| Steve knows it's been almost an hour since he first brought up Humble Harv but he finally logged into that website and has some audio to play. |
| 6:35
| Steve tried to log in as a contributor but then it realized he wasn't a contributor. Mary eventually realized there was a way to pay with a credit card. Steve was panicky and maybe not realizing all of his options. |
| 6:36
| Steve's audio player doesn't seem to be set-up properly to play the audio. He just got a new computer so there are still some problems with it. |
| 6:37
| Whenever Steve gets a new computer he usually doesn't figure out stuff hasn't been installed or updated until he actually gets to it. Steve's not sure about Buzz but he doesn't sit around the house looking for Humble Harv airchecks. |
| 6:38
| Steve might have to blame Adam for this since he's constantly fighting with Ed about the computer stuff. They have different philosophies about how to move into a new computer. |
| 6:39
| Steve can't talk to Ed because he's currently in the hospital. He's having his gall bladder taken out so it was a scheduled surgery. Does Buzz have any pressing computer issues? |
| 6:40
| Buzz is always having a computer issue but when he calls Ed Steve's the one who gets charged for the time. |
| 6:41
| It's taken Steve almost an hour to find and then play this audio. You'd think once the Real Radio website people saw that it was Steve they'd drop all firewalls and let him in. |
| 6:49
| Alright Steve has the Humble Harv audio ready to play. Just to show you how cool the guy was, his name was Humble Harv which isn't humble. Plus he had his own nightclub on Sunset Strip where he hung out after the show. |
| 6:50
| That could be why his wife was cheating on him with the record company guy. Then Harv caught them in the act, killed the wife and went to prison. That gave Steve his big break though. |
| 6:51
| If you kill your wife these days you're pretty much finished but Harv got out in 7 years or maybe even less. Steve was still in L.A. when he got out. |
| 6:54
| Humble Harv was just flat-out awesome and Steve helped him get back on the air after he got out of prison. |
| 6:55
| Back in the day you were probably cut some slack if your wife was fooling around on you. He probably had a guy judge or something. |
| 6:56
| There was a time when you could walk for killing your wife over that. You probably still can in the Middle East. |
| 6:57
| Steve's pretty sure he served 7 years but still that's not much. He probably didn't have it that bad at Chino because he was Humble Harv. |
| 6:58
| That's Steve's story, sorry it took so long to tell it. |
| 6:59
| Time for today's web poll, "Would you eat a sauceless pizza with potatoes and squash?" |
| 7:00
| Can Steve digress for a moment? He doesn't have a Pizza Tragedy but someone thought he did. There's an Al's Beef/Nancy's restaurant near Steve and he was there getting a combo, dipped. Sometimes Steve likes to order the combo with the Drew Peterson accent. No one thinks anything of it. |
| 7:01
| While Steve was waiting for his food he saw some of the excellent pizzas that Nancy's had, like the alfredo and bacon. Steve ordered that one on Sunday. |
| 7:02
| The guy taking the order knew who Steve was and sort of got nervous. He had to call back to make sure he got the order right even though he ordered the pizza exactly as it was on their menu. |
| 7:03
| Then the pizza took a little longer to arrive than normal but it was a cute girl delivery driver which you don't see very often. Steve gave her a great tip so hopefully she'll remember the Dahl name. |
| 7:04
| The pizza was really good though so he didn't mind the wait. He didn't complain and he even wrote in his blog how good it was. |
| 7:05
| Then yesterday Steve got a letter of apology and a $25 gift certificate from Nancy's. Steve wants to call them and tell them he didn't have a bad experience. It did take a little longer but it was delivered by a girl. |
| 7:06
| Nancy's also has super thin crust which Buzz was not even aware of. It's a whole new world of pizza we're living in. |
| 7:07
| Buzz is just getting used to being asked if he wants his pizza medium or well-done. He's also been asking for his pepperoni on the outside at Godfather's pizza, not associated with the chain. |
| 7:08
| Steve might just turn this into a Pizza Tragedies segment, although he didn't have a Pizza Tragedy. The guy at Nancy's sort of did but Steve wants him to know he didn't have a bad experience. |
| 7:09
| Steve got an email from a listener who wanted to let him know that you have to remove the pizza Elmo doll from the box and take out a protective strip so he'll sing the entire song. Steve doesn't want to take Elmo out of the box although he always wants more of the song. |
| 7:10
| Buzz was really excited to discover that Godfather's had jalapeño poppers. He's really working that free pizza today isn't he? Buzz doesn't think he'll get a free pizza, they don't care about that stuff at Godfather's. |
| 7:11
| Buzz tried to combine pizza and poppers but you can't do it. He didn't feel good afterwards. |
| 7:12
| Steve has this article about vegetables adding new flavor to the tired old pizza ingredients. Steve disagrees with that. Who's this writer, J.M. Hirsch? It's probably a girl, they're always trying to order vegetables on pizza. |
| 7:13
| Hirsch suggests making your own pizza by going into your local pizzeria and asking to purchase a dough ball. Thanks for the tip! Who would do that? Who would make their own pizza when these professionals have perfected it? |
| 7:14
| Steve can now play the entire Elmo pizza song. It's the long version. He would have never known about that without the email. |
| 7:22
| Steve's pretty sure that the Pizza Elmo was hard to get during the holidays. Someone emailed him and wanted help tracking one down or was wondering if Steve would sell his. |
| 7:23
| Why would Steve sell his and why would he help someone find one? Did they help him find Cabbage Patch dolls? |
| 7:24
| Steve's going to start this article over again because it really is a Pizza Tragedy. The first sentence is a contradiction, "It's hard to imagine tiring of pizza, but it's easy to grow weary of the same old toppings." So you're tiring of pizza. This is the Sun-Times though. |
| 7:25
| Steve hopes this is a woman writing this article. No guy should think about pizza like this. |
| 7:26
| Buzz is wondering if pizza places actually sell dough balls to customers. Steve wouldn't buy one because he'd open himself up to Pillsbury dough boy jokes. Plus it seems embarrassing to walk into a pizza place and ask for one. |
| 7:27
| Hirsch recommends skipping the sauce on your homemade pizza because the high acidity requires other ingredients to be equally assertive like sausage and anchovies. That's an absurd statement. |
| 7:28
| If an ingredient can't stand up against pizza sauce it shouldn't be on a pizza. But without the sauce you can use more nuanced ingredients like thinly sliced squash, mushrooms, bitter greens like dandelion leaves and slivered fennel bulb. Who eats dandelion leaves? |
| 7:29
| In one recipe winter squash and purple potatoes were thinly sliced and topped with rosemary and Cheddar and mozzarella. This is in fact a pizza tragedy and the person who wrote it is a guy. That's not write. |
| 7:30
| Hirsch is an AP writer which the Sun-Times is using a lot of lately since they fired everyone else. |
| 7:31
| Caller Jeff has some info about the gyros pizza at Nancy's, it's very good. It has gyro meat, onions, feta cheese and olives if you want. Do they put that tazzizzikzziki sauce on there? |
| 7:32
| This vegetable pizza the guy wants you to make seems to take about 2 hours. Who would want to do that, especially when the end result is this pizza? |
| 7:33
| Caller Martin has a Pizza Tragedy. There's a place called Pizza King on the Southside and they didn't deliver to the projects where Martin grew up. |
| 7:34
| When you got a pizza delivered you had to go down to the street where the driver was waiting. He'd roll down the window and you'd put your money in and he'd give you the pizza. |
| 7:35
| Martin's looking forward to another Sox season, hopefully they'll be better. Steve feels the Joe Crede signing was just to put a price on him so he could be traded. Steve's fine with that, he likes Josh Fields. |
| 7:36
| Martin is wondering Buzz has been to the new Checkerboard Lounge yet. He has not. |
| 7:37
| And that's Pizza Tragedies with the full Elmo pizza song. How does Steve get it to just play the short version? |
| 7:38
| Steve just ended the segment but he's going to take one more call that relates to his pizza world. |
| 7:39
| Caller Sherri is recommending the super thin at Nancy's, it still holds up all the ingredients and the cheese. |
| 7:40
| There are finally some good pizza places around Steve with Nancy's and soon Aurellio's plus Lou's and Home Run Inn not too far away. Sherri is also recommending the wings at Nancy's, they have a great variety. |
| 7:41
| Steve's getting the pizza tonight but he's not sure a guy home by himself should also get an order of wings. Sherri offers to come over and share the wings and pizza with Steve. This might have to be done off the air. |
| 7:42
| Song: Soul to Squeeze, Red Hot Chili Peppers |
| 7:46
| Speaking of pizza our own Patrick "Deep Dish" Bertoletti will be on Spike TV on Super Bowl Sunday for a ham and eggs competition with Joey Chestnut. |
| 7:47
| Has Buzz seen that commercial with Peyton and Eli Manning where they're in a competitive Oreo eating league? |
| 7:48
| Ham and eggs seems like a weird choice for Super Bowl Sunday. It's not really about breakfast food on that day is it? |
| 7:49
| Steve kept reading that Eagles were doing the Super Bowl halftime show but now Tom Petty's doing it and there's no explanation. |
| 7:50
| Eagles said they would rather play Grand Ole Opry. Who would turn down Grand Ole Opry for the Super Bowl? No one would do that. |
| 7:51
| Buzz has heard that they didn't want to follow Prince who did last year's Super Bowl halftime. |
| 7:52
| Steve missed the halftime show because he was waiting in line to go to the bathroom. When he got back several other Bears fans he knew told him he'd just missed the greatest thing ever. |
| 7:53
| Steve was soaking wet from the rain so he could have just stayed in his seat, given himself a warmie and watched the halftime show. |
| 8:00
| What was that Glenn Frey thing from? Was that real or was it a joke. It has to be a joke right? |
| 8:01
| It was actually him on 60 Minutes talking about why Eagles are still relevant. DId he mention why they're not doing the Super Bowl? |
| 8:02
| Joe Walsh has been calling Steve recently, he should probably call him back. Actually it's Joe's people, Smokey, who calls Steve. |
| 8:03
| Joe might tell Steve why they're not doing the Super Bowl but he might not want him to tell anyone else which will just drive him crazy. Maybe Buzz could overhear it or something. |
| 8:04
| Time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve and Buzz will be having tacos today but not everyday. Buzz wants tacos everyday though. |
| 8:05
| According to Mary the Taco Bell where Tina or Stephanie go does have a full menu this early in the morning. So tacos everyday is a possibility. |
| 8:06
| All of the sudden Buzz is acting like tacos everyday wasn't his idea. Does he not want to do it then? |
| 8:07
| The alternative for Buzz is a hideous trail mix bar everyday so he'd love a taco. Let's try it for a week and see how it goes. |
| 8:08
| Buzz was thinking maybe Tyrone could make taco runs for us, if he doesn't mind. |
| 8:09
| Tyrone can make the taco run everyday and it would be free to Steve and Buzz. He'll just set down right in the plaza where Tina or Stephanie will be waiting to get the tacos. |
| 8:10
| Tyrone heard that caller earlier asking if Buzz has been to Buddy Guy's new Legends club. If he ever wants to go Tyrone will go with him. |
| 8:11
| He was actually asking about the Checkerboard, they're still working on the new Legends. Tyrone will go there too. |
| 8:12
| Tyrone was thinking of launching a shuttle service from the Ogilvie to the Prudential since he's over there getting tacos. Seniors ride for free of course. |
| 8:20
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 8:21
| Today's live read is about Peter and James who have a house worth millions of dollars. One of the advantages of being gay has to be no wife and kids to support. |
| 8:22
| Pat Boyle is coming up and he's got a new theme song, the " Peanut Butter Jelly" song from Family Guy. |
| 8:23
| Pat wasn't on the phone yet so let's play it again for Pat. |
| 8:24
| The reason that is Pat's theme song is because around here the staff refers to him as Peanut Butter because he signs all emails PB. |
| 8:25
| Pat's a tall drink of water but he's not fat so he won't be offended by the Peanut Butter nickname. That's the kind of thing that really helps you take off. |
| 8:26
| Pretty soon guys in the lockerrooms will be calling him Peanut Butter and then just Butter. Steve might even have some of that audio turned into background music for the segment. |
| 8:27
| We could also probably spend the money on the DVD with that episode since we had to grab it from YouTube. We're willing to spend that money on Pat. |
| 8:28
| Peanut's not a bad nickname either but that's already taken. Pat could be White Peanut which doesn't sound great. He could be Blanched Peanut. |
| 8:29
| Pat seems uncomfortable with the Peanut Butter moniker but it's sticking to him. Get it? Sticking! The "Peanut Butter Jelly" song is very popular at the Boyle household actually. |
| 8:30
| Steve was very irritated the other night when the Bulls game was on instead of King of Queens and Family Guy. |
| 8:31
| Steve doesn't like the Bulls. He barely likes them when they're losing. Turns out that Scott Skiles, like Saddam Hussein, was keeping a lid on all that craziness. |
| 8:32
| Last night JamesOn Curry was arrested in Boise for public urination and resisting arrest. |
| 8:33
| Why is public urination illegal? Steve drove out to LIsle after the show yesterday and he had to use the bathroom the entire time. He was eyeing his travel mug but couldn't figure out how to do that gracefully with trucks going by. |
| 8:34
| Pat could see a trucker going by just at the right time and getting some video on his phone of Steve. Then it would end up on a trucker's website. |
| 8:35
| Frankly Steve doesn't have the equipment to pull something like that off in transit. It wouldn't have a happy ending. |
| 8:36
| Steve had to go so bad that when he got to the massage place he ran right in, leaving his jacket in the car. It was 40º when he went in but when he came out it had dropped about 50º |
| 8:37
| Why is public urination illegal? It should only be illegal if you see something. If you're discreet you can do it. |
| 8:40
| So the Bulls are in complete disarray, they need to hire Scott Skiles back. He was keeping a lid on all that stuff. |
| 8:41
| The whole team is unprofessional. This is an NBA franchise! They were supposed to be shoe-ins for the finals and now they probably won't make the playoffs. |
| 8:42
| So the Sox signed Joe Crede to a 1-year deal, probably to put a price on him. He still needs to prove he's healthy enough to play though. Josh Fields is the future at third base. |
| 8:43
| The other thought is that they'll trade Konerko and Crede will move to first base. Steve doesn't want to see them trade Konerko, not after 2005 when he gave the World Series ball to Reinsdorf. He should be a White Sock for life. |
| 8:44
| When Steve was a kid, and a Dodgers fan, the players stayed on the team for their entire career. |
| 8:45
| The Cubs convention is this weekend, that'll be fun for Cubs fans. Also the NFL playoffs roll on. |
| 8:46
| Steve saw that Devin Hester will be out at the boat show signing autographs. He'll be in a big boat shaped like a football. |
| 8:47
| Buzz saw a story about a TV station up in Green Bay that is pulling all of it's Seinfeld reruns because Eli Manning likes to watch Seinfeld before a game. Genius! |
| 8:48
| Then there was the guy who pinned his kid down and taped a Bret Favre jersey to him because he refused to wear it. Those Packers fans are crazy. |
| 8:49
| There's a guy by Steve who has a giant Bret Favre cut-out in his front yard. He's surprised it's still there but there must be a camera on it and people probably know that. |
| 8:50
| Steve likes #4 but he doesn't need a giant Bret Favre in someone's front yard. It shouldn't be up in someone's yard, not in Chicago. |
| 8:51
| Steve's not doing anything about it because he doesn't want to be hauled in for questioning. Maybe Comcast could do a story and at least embarrass the guy. |
| 8:58
| News with Buzz |
| 8:59
| President Bush is expected to address the nation today about recession jitters. DId Buzz see that photo of him with his arm around some sheikh? He's completely off his rocker. |
| 9:00
| Plus he made things worse between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Doesn't every President do that at the end of his term? |
| 9:01
| Three victims of a tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo were intoxicated and taunting the animal according to court documents. |
| 9:02
| The new head of the Anti-doping Agency had harsh words for Major League Baseball, a day after Bud Selig testified in front of the Mitchell Commission. |
| 9:03
| In a press conference yesterday Selig's cellphone went off and when he saw it was his wife said he'd punch her out. He probably didn't mean that but there are a few words you should probably avoid. That's one of them. |
| 9:04
| Chicago's trains and buses will keep running after the transit funding bill passed in the state House and Senate. |
| 9:05
| Does anyone actually think Blago has it together? Even those people who stand behind him when he's making an announcement must know he doesn't have it together. |
| 9:06
| Chicago is experience extremely low temperatures today and it will get colder tomorrow. It's 15º at O'Hare and it's only going to get worse. |
| 9:07
| Steve said yesterday that he wanted it to get cold but then he left his jacket in his car when he went to get a massage. It was so cold when he got outside that his gloves didn't even work when he put them on. |
| 9:08
| Golfweek Magazine is defending their decision to put a noose on the cover of this week's issue. |
| 9:09
| The head of PETA was arrested in India. That's that Ingrid Newkirk woman, Steve saw a documentary about her, all she wants to do is cause trouble. Once you see that documentary you'll want to go out and kill an animal. |
| 9:10
| Newkirk put a blindfold on a statue of Gandhi to protest a sport that involves drunken bulls and people plucking money and other items off of them. |
| 9:18
| That was a very long break in which Patrick Elwood of Fox32 was trying to talk to Steve and Buzz. |
| 9:19
| Steve had to remind Patrick to save it for the air. This is radio, they don't have teleprompters in the studio telling them what to say. |
| 9:20
| In 2005 when the Sox were in the playoffs Steve did the sports on Fox in the morning. Steve had a really fun time but the highlight was Patrick going to get breakfast for everyone. |
| 9:21
| Steve didn't think Patrick should go out and get breakfast since he's on the news and all. Steve doesn't get himself breakfast! |
| 9:22
| Patrick threw out a few menu options including the breakfast burrito. Then he brought back the greatest breakfast burrito ever. |
| 9:23
| There's one in front of Buzz as well. Steve's reluctant to give out the name of the place, what if they run out of chorizo? |
| 9:24
| Patrick doesn't seem to understand how important it was that he turned Steve on to this burrito. He has one everyday at 6 and he can't wait for it. |
| 9:25
| The burrito seems to get better with every bite that Buzz takes. It's like he's finding new ingredients along the way. |
| 9:26
| Patrick wanted to come by and talk about something he does every year, shaving his head. |
| 9:27
| It's called St. Baldrick's Day and it was started in New York by a few friends who decided instead of drinking their butts off every St. Patrick's day, they should do something for someone. |
| 9:28
| One of the guys knew a kid who was suffering from cancer so they all decided to shave their heads and it turned into a walk-a-thon type charity. |

| Slowly the charity has moved west across the country and Patrick found out about it from a friend who's a Lemont cop. Patrick grew up around here right? |
| 9:30
| Patrick is from Oak Lawn, his dad is a lifelong Chicago Park District worker, over by der. They had more park district chairs and desks than they probably should have. |
| 9:31
| Of course as a TV news guy, Patrick's hair is everything. He's a haircut passing as a man. No wait, that's Blago. |
| 9:32
| Last year Fox decided to go into the area high schools since there are students suffering from cancer everywhere. They raised over $300,000 last year. |
| 9:33
| They also had Bobby Jenks involved and the kids responded to that. This year they're going to get more players involved including some Blackhawks. |
| 9:34
| It'll be very tough to get a hockey player to shave his head. They cut their hair in a certain way so they look good in the helmets. |
| 9:35
| Steve and Buzz are going to be on Fox on Monday morning too. |
| 9:36
| Steve will definitely sponsor Patrick but he'll have to think about shaving his own head. All he has to do is name a price that people will donate and then make it happen. |
| 9:37
| Patrick has 4 kids, all under age 7. Buzz has one kid under 7 but that's more of a novelty than anything else. |
| 9:38
| Especially since Buzz doesn't have to do anything with the kid. He does something once a week and it's usually something like going to see a movie. |
| 9:39
| Patrick took Steve's advice and hung on to his Sox season tickets. That's a good move, he'd regret it when the Sox bounced back. |
| 9:46
| Steve likes Patrick Elwood, he's a good guy. And that burrito rocks doesn't it? Steve has one everyday. |
| 9:47
| There's nothing like starting off your day with a chorizo and egg burrito. Steve likes the way they grill the tortilla too. |
| 9:48
| Steve's never been to Vista Carry-out, where they make the breakfast burrito, but there has to be a real Mexican working there. |
| 9:49
| Steve's getting confirmation that there's a Mexican guy cooking the food. There's probably a Greek guy running the place though based on the menu. |
| 9:50
| Buzz was at Greek Islands last week and he was crushed to learn that the Francheesy was no longer on the menu. |
| 9:51
| There's no Francheesy on the Vista Carry-out menu but there is a feta cheese omelet, a good indicator that it's Greek-owned. |
| 9:52
| A Francheesy is of course a hot dog, stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon and then deep-friend. Buzz isn't sure if it's Greek but it's good. He's not familiar with the bacon though. |
| 9:53
| Even when Steve ate a Francheesy he knew it wasn't right. You're better off eating them near a hospital. |
| 9:54
| Maybe there was some doctor's group that lobbied to have Francheesy's removed from menus. |
| 9:55
| Patrick Elwood had a cameraman in studio with him and that's going to be on at noon today. Then Steve and Buzz will be doing something on Fox on Monday morning. |
| 9:56
| Steve was talking to Patrick about the morning show over on Fox and they're doing alright but WGN gets 4 times the ratings. |
| 9:57
| Word is coming in that John Stroger has passed away. He did a year ago didn't he? They're just now confirming it now right? There was that video of him with a sheet over his head and then no one saw him for a year. |
| 9:58
| Is Buzz really going sledding this weekend? They were talking about the weather on the news and Chicago is going to get the kind of temperatures that could give you frost bite after a half hour. Tommy Skillethead is checking in with some weather. It'll get really cold along the lakefront where Buzz likes to to do the bulk of his sledding. |
| 9:59
| A wind chill advisory is also kicking in at midnight so it'll be super cold all weekend. Buzz will be staying indoors all weekend although he usually likes to be out and about. How about a trip to the boat show, he's a sailor isn't he? |
| 10:00
| There's a chart that tells you different frost bite exposure rates depending on the temperature. Tommy's going to need to see that before he goes off the air. Does anyone have that/ |
| 10:01
| Tommy saw that Amy Freeze with the chart. Tommy wants to know why he wasn't born with such a great weather name. |
| 10:02
| Steve has a chart, he'll have to stop talking like Tommy or else he won't be able to read this thing. |
