| Steve loves Journey, as Buzz knows. He's all about the Journey. Na na na na na...na na na na na na na. Does Steve need to explain Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'? |
| 5:31
| He likes to explain the songs, he hopes to be the next Casey Kasem. The song is from Journey's fifth studio album, Evolution. Does that mean they had a live album? Imagine how great they were live. |
| 5:32
| Evolution is Journey's highest charting album to date. They retained Roy Thomas Baker as producer. It sounds like they're hiring an attorney. |
| 5:33
| After an unsuccessful radio contest to name the group a roadie suggested "Journey". How can you have an unsuccessful radio contest? How hard is it to do that? Let's rename them right now. |
| 5:34
| Steve needs someone to call in anyway because he wants to know what the digital radio read-out says. When he's in the car it says what song is playing, usually Def Leppard. |
| 5:35
| Let's rename Journey though, we can send it into them. They're still around because somehow they got involved in the White Sox' 2005 World Series run. Then there was that embarrassing in-studio sing-along that Steve got pulled into. He was caught up in the moment and he had money invested in the team. |
| 5:36
| Still, you shouldn't sing along to a song unless you're drunk in a karaoke bar. Speaking of karaoke, Steve did not record Drew Peterson singing Have You Seen Her but he thinks he's figured it out. There will probably be some more on-air rehearsals but Steve's listened to it several times through. |
| 5:37
| Steve had a technical glitch yesterday so he stopped and watched TV with the dogs. Steve and the dogs are really kicking back this week because Janet's out of town. |
| 5:38
| Caller Bob is on his way to work, trying to get the car cranked up to about 80. His radio says "Steve Dahl Show" right now. Bob's trying to be more like Steve when he drives but he has a CDL so he can't go 100. |
| 5:39
| Steve was up a little early this morning, like at midnight, so he had some time to kill and did 65 his entire way in. He took in the sites and got some gas. Not that he ate something that caused him problems. |
| 5:40
| Steve did have to excuse himself from Pilates yesterday actually. He just told his instructor "I have to go to the bathroom" |
| 5:41
| Steve woke up at midnight and couldn't get back to sleep. He didn't want to take any more sleeping pills and end up like the next Heath Ledger, found face down and nude on his bed. Steve doesn't sleep nude but the paramedics who find him would probably strip him down. |
| 5:42
| Bob heard Heath Ledger was found in one of the Olsen Twins' apartments. Did he hear it on The Loop? Because Steve got an email from someone who heard the new Loop afternoon guy, who's a rocker in a cowboy hat, break the news of the death. |
| 5:43
| He came out of Aerosmith's Other Side, then said that Ledger had been found dead in Mary Kate Olsen's apartment, surrounded by sleeping pills. Then he segued into an upcoming Loop party by saying "and if you want to have fun in an apartment..." |
| 5:44
| When Steve got this email yesterday he couldn't figure out how he'd work it into the show and right off the bat, first caller, he gets to use it. |
| 5:49
| Why does Pete have to torture Steve by playing the Journey drop from Family Guy? What did Steve do to him other than give him a job when no one else would? |
| 5:50
| The only thing worse would be to play the sing-along which Steve blames on Wendy and Terry Armour. Really he should just blame Wendy. |
| 5:51
| OK, if Pete wants to play some of the sing-along that's fine. As luck would have it, at least for Steve, Pete doesn't have the sing-along right in front of him. |
| 5:52
| So Pete taunts Steve with the Family Guy drop but then doesn't have the pay-off of the sing-along. Don't we have a database with all of this stuff in there? Pete had it on his old computer but he just got a new one. |
| 5:53
| Pete hasn't been the same since he got that new computer and his studio is in disarray. Todd Cavanah does not like Pete's studio. He's the kind of guy who has a place for everything and everything in it's place. |
| 5:54
| Steve can only imagine what Todd's closet looks like at home. It's probably organized by spectrum color. Didn't the guy in American Psycho have a really organized closet? There's some talk of having a sponsor, like California Closets, organize Pete's studio. |
| 5:55
| Alright time for today's web poll question "should massage businesses be banned?" Steve never read the results of yesterday's web poll either. It doesn't seem like the website should display how many people voted, it seems shockingly low. |
| 5:56
| Ed won't take those down because he likes to know how many page views there are. He might be on pain medication now after his surgery. |
| 5:57
| Last night Steve sent Ed his Thought for the Day email about Heath Ledger. But then later on he thought it was mean so he wanted to send a different one. |
| 5:58
| The second one said "Why is it that when they find you dead you're not naked, you're nude?" Nude does sound worse. But then Steve read the story in the Sun-Times and it said "naked" so he had to send a third one. |
| 5:59
| The third one said "Although he was involved in making it impossible to watch a Western again without wondering what's happening in the bunk house I feel bad for Heath Ledger and coincidentally I couldn't get to sleep last night myself as I was afraid to double down on my own sleeping pills." It seems like the first one is the best one but it seems mean. Steve's never seen Brokeback Mountain though. |
| 6:00
| Steve doesn't want to see it either. He doesn't mind the gay part either. All cowboys look gay to him now though. There was probably a lot of that out on the range because there were no women. |
| 6:01
| Steve sent all three and Ed picked the best one, he has an instinct. Then they get into a little fight about a better system if Steve's going to change the Thought for the Day. What other system, should he call Ed at 3 am? |
| 6:02
| Ed and Adam are arguing a lot about Steve's computer via email and of course he's copied in on all of them. He tries to follow along, it's all about backing up your computer. Steve recently lost everything on his hard drive, probably due to him dropping it while it was running. Buzz hadn't heard that before becuase Steve didn't want to admit it until he was sure Apple wouldn't reimburse him. |
| 6:03
| They'll get it all worked out but Steve's in the middle of a geek war. Adam is new so he's trying to assert himself plus he's very bossy. Ed is bossy too, they almost make a great couple if they wanted to go Brokeback Hard Drive. Physically they're very cute together, they'd make a nice couple. If they were gay and had a wedding on top of he cake there'd be a big Ed and a little Adam and people would say it was really cute. |
| 6:04
| OK on to the web poll. From the Tribune "Suburbs Distrustful of Massage Businesses". Elk Grove Village Mayor Craig Johnson asked the Village board to ban establishments that only offer massages. |
| 6:05
| What does he care, the whole area is going to be airport runways in 5 years. This is the guy who's been fighting the expansion. |
| 6:06
| Lisle and Arlington Heights are two suburbs that prohibit massage-only establishments. Lisle is where Steve goes for his massage. |
| 6:07
| Santa Ana, California has a moratorium on new massage-related business permits. City laws were updated after raids on parlors nearby. |
| 6:08
| Steve doesn't want to be involved in a raid and you know he would be. One day he's finally decide that he deserved a happy ending and that would be the day of the raid. They'd probably send in Dave Savini or Pam Zeckman too. |
| 6:09
| Johnson's proposal follows an undercover police officers visit to the Higgins Spa. The name Higgins Spa should tell you what kind of place it is. It's on Higgins, it's probably by the airport. The airport attracts those kind of places for some reason. |
| 6:10
| The female therapist offered the officer a sexual favor at the end of his massage. That's just nice. What if she just liked him? Are women not allowed to show their affection any more? |
| 6:11
| Weekly customer Joe Orlando says massage has helped to relieve his chronic back pain. The rates at Massage Envy are far less than what he would pay elsewhere. |
| 6:12
| At a Hoffman Estates zoning board meetings in 2006 it was noted that Massage Envy employees would be licensed and wear full-length pants. Are those pants that just don't come off or something? |
| 6:13
| Zoning board members wanted to know if doors to rooms would be closed and locked and if there would be cameras. That doesn't sound relaxing at all. |
| 6:20
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 6:21
| Caller Scott has been to Massage Envy and it's legit, there's one in a shopping center with a Target. Steve never said it wasn't legit for the record. |
| 6:22
| Scott used to live in Northwest Indiana and there were a lot of shady places. You have a lot of truckers coming through, they need to relax. |
| 6:23
| Some might call it shady, others would call it liberating. |
| 6:24
| Scott really appreciates Steve and Buzz in the mornings, it makes the drive to work so much easier. Plus he can get the signal where he used to not get it. Jack's got the big stick. |
| 6:25
| News with Buzz |
| 6:26
| It doesn't seem like people should be focusing this much on the economy problems. When everyone in the media reports the story it actually affects the market. |
| 6:27
| The body of actor Heath Ledger was found yesterday in an apartment in New York. Ledger was set to play The Joker in the upcoming Batman movie. That's the one that was filmed here over the summer. |
| 6:28
| Steve's seen trailers for that new Batman movie, Heath Ledger looks completely insane as The Joker. His make-up sort of has the feel of that scene in Blue Velvet with Dean Stockwell putting make-up on. It looks completely depraved. |
| 6:29
| Buzz read somewhere that Heath Ledger said his last two roles, including The Joker caused some problems for him and made it so that he had to take sleeping pills. |
| 6:30
| It's just a movie though, he's not actually trying to destroy Gotham. If anything it seems like he'd just be hassled a lot because of Brokeback Mountain. That seems worse than being The Joker. |
| 6:31
| The thing that's really creepy about the Heath Ledger story is the footage of authorities bringing his body out of the building, strapped to the gurney in a body bag. |
| 6:32
| In a recent poll Barack Obama took the lead over Hillary Clinton. She pulled out of South Carolina too and moved on to California. She's probably trying to cloak herself in the HIspanic community. |
| 6:33
| Jose Padilla, once named an enemy combatant by President Bush, received 17 years in prison. That's not bad considering he could have gotten life. Maybe that'll make him like the country more. |
| 6:34
| A French woman about to be deported received a last minute reprieve as she was going to the airport. |
| 6:35
| The woman came to this country because her husband was sick. He died before she was able to become a citizen. That means you should send her back, that's just how it works. Dan Lipinski disagrees though. |
| 6:36
| It's very cold today and it's going to stay cold. Buzz was very surprised and happy to arrive at the building today in his cab and find a sleeveless Steve Dahl standing outside. |
| 6:37
| Buzz figured Steve was there to greet him and usher him into the building. He was just trying to wake up and get some fresh air. |
| 6:38
| It's sort of nice to be out there before anyone gets in becuase you can actually get fresh air. There's no one out there smoking that early. |
| 6:39
| Song: Don't Fear the Reaper, Blue Oyster Cult |
| 6:43
| Steve likes that song but every time he hears it he's reminded of the SNL skit where Will Ferrell is the cowbell player. Buzz has never seen it but he's seen people actually play cowbell. It's not that funny. |
| 6:51
| Live read: World of Wheels |
| 6:52
| You can meet Mater from Cars at World of Wheels as well as see the Happy Days reunion with Henry Winkler, Anson Williams and Erin Moran (Joanie!). |
| 6:53
| You can also see someone from LA Ink and someone from Unique Whips. What is that? Steve's never heard of it but it sounds interesting. |
| 6:54
| OK, can the smoking ban help you meet women? Shot and a beer joints have always been part of the neighborhood culture. Guys can go there and socialize and meet women. |
| 6:55
| The corner taverns are disappearing from Chicago every year and some feel the smoking ban will force even more bars to close. |
| 6:56
| A few weeks after the ban has been enacted drinkers seem to be adjusting. No one has been fined for smoking at a bar yet and only 118 people have called 311 to report smokers. |
| 6:57
| The smoking ban could improve a guy's chances with a lady who's traveling in a group. The smoking ban forces girls to break off and smoke outside. It's always tough to break the girl out of the group. Steve can see Brendan working this angle though. |
| 6:58
| Unique Whips is a show on the Speed Channel about Unique Autosports, a shop that customizes celebrity cars. |
| 6:59
| Back to the smoking ban article. One could argue that the smoking band makes it easier for girls to meet single guys but it's not that hard to meet a single guy. It's so easy for women. |
| 7:00
| "Got a light" has become the new "do you come here often?". It's smoking and flirting, it's smirting. Some have already tried to use the ban to their advantage. |
| 7:01
| Megan Shultz, a college students and occasional smoker, isn't surprised this is happening. She sounds like one of those people who only smokes when they drink. What do they call that? It's not co-dependent. |
| 7:02
| Brendan thought it was a gateway. Maybe he should turn that mic off and let it cool down for a bit. OK Mr. Podcast? |
| 7:03
| It's not a gateway but it's like when Steve would drink Whiskey and then he'd start making a lot of phone calls. |
| 7:04
| In addition to smirting bargoers have had to figure out other smoking etiquette. Before it was just not blowing smoke in someone's face but now people have to figure out how to mark unfinished drinks or stools left behind during a smoke break. |
| 7:05
| Karen Hooker (bad name to have in a school yard) puts a napkin on her drink and if there's a jacket on the seat it means you're coming back. |
| 7:06
| Who would sit in a chair with a jacket on it? It's obvious someone is still there. A drink on a bar seems like an indicator as well but if there's a napkin on the drink then someone is probably still there. |
| 7:07
| Smirting doesn't seem like a bad idea. Steve's going to get some of those candy cigarettes, if you blow on them powder comes out. |
| 7:08
| Caller Bill thinks the word Steve is looking for is concomitant behavior. That seems too fancy. Steve's never heard the word concomitant, there's a more common word for it. |
| 7:13
| Caller Rick has carried a laminated card in his wallet for years that says "gone to the bathroom, leave my drink alone" He could make some of those up for smokers. |
| 7:14
| It's probably harder to tell if you're done with beer than if you're done with a cocktail. |
| 7:15
| Usually the bartender knows who's active so he'll be able to tell you if someone is sitting where you're trying to sit. |
| 7:16
| Steve promised yesterday that he'd do Drew Peterson singing Have You Seen Her but he had some technical difficulties with his computer. |
| 7:17
| People want to hear it because Drew's first song, Bolingbrookville, was such a hit. |
| 7:18
| A lot of people have been emailing about the opening lyrics to the song, they don't understand then. It goes "Stacy is gone away and she never will do an above-ground pool somersault." Drew had to find something that sounded like "shaker of salt" and he has an above-ground pool. |
| 7:19
| So stop emailing about the lyrics. And if you're a broad, leave your phone number! |
| 7:20
| Drew might need some reverb on this song. Just a little bit though. Drew's had a lot of problems getting through this song, it's a tough one. |
| 7:21
| He could have gone with something easier like Hall & Oates' She's Gone but Buzz feels he has to go for the gold with Have You Seen Her. |
| 7:22
| Drew sings Have You Seen Her. |
| 7:26
| Drew needs to work on the end but maybe he'll just have Pete ad some drop-ins at the end. |
| 7:27
| Maybe it can be tightened up at Peterson Studios. Unless Jim Peterik will let him use his place. Drew used to be a roadie for Ides of March. |
| 7:28
| The songs being worked on, just so Buzz knows. The ending needs to be tightened up and Drew can't laugh during it. It's funny to him, he's a jokester. |
| 7:29
| Originally Drew sat down to parodize it-or is it satirize-but then he looked at the lyrics and realized it was fine as is. Now it's a cover and he's got two songs for his setlist in case anyone ever wants him to play somewhere. |
| 7:30
| Drew will work on a few other styles for his setlist. When Stacy comes back they can do a duet on Reunited. |
| 7:31
| Should Drew read the Enquirer? That's something he does isn't it? Buzz noticed Drew wasn't on the cover but Kirstie Alley is and it looks like she gained some weight. Drew knows a few things about the Enquirer, that photo looks fake. |
| 7:32
| Drew's favorite new thing in the Enquirer is the latest bromances. Last week it was Owen Wilson and Matthew McConaughey. |
| 7:33
| If you're feeling bad about yourself, which Owen probably was, your best bet is to hang out with the best looking guy in the world. Although between the two of them they probably pull a lot of tail. |
| 7:34
| Caller Ellen loved Drew's latest song. She's from overby Hickory Hills. Drew's driven through there before, he never smells hickory and there ain't no hills. |
| 7:35
| Bolingbrook is aptly named because the founders of Bolingbrook used to play lawn bowling down by the brook. Not really although Ellen wouldn't know, she's from Pennsylvania. |
| 7:36
| Is Ellen Amish? Because if she was she wouldn't be able to talk on the phone. Unless her phone was made of wood. |
| 7:37
| Ellen's a bit too squirrelly for Drew. Drew does not like squirrelly broads. Ellen is too talkative. If Drew were to come out to her house he'd have to bring the duct tape. |
| 7:38
| Caller Julie is from Bolingbrook. A lot of the broads are calling in right now. Would it be possible for Julie to drive by Drew's house and leave her number, or even come up to the door? |
| 7:39
| Julie has actually driven by Drew's house several times. Next time she should stop by. Does she have a fur coat or another long coat she could wear to the house. She'd be nude underneath of course. |
| 7:40
| The last caller gave Julie a great idea. Drew should go for the Amish women because they don't have TVs and wouldn't know what's going on in Drew's life. Plus Drew loves pretzels. |
| 7:42
| Can Julie come during the day because the kids won't be home. Or she could come later at night when the kids are in bed. |
| 7:43
| Could Julie bring a pizza too? Even if it's just a Red Baron frozen pizza that would be good. |
| 7:44
| Drew will be in a bathrobe when Julie comes over and the oven will be heated up. Bing bang boom, it's over, the pizza is done and Julie can grab a slice for the road. |
| 7:51
| People love a missing wife story. What about Lisa Stebic and Craig though? She thought of it first. |
| 7:52
| Live read: Pro Flowers |
| 7:53
| Steve used Pro Flowers last week to send some flowers to Janet down in Florida. When you go to the Pro Flowers website use the code "Dahl" for a special deal. |
| 7:54
| LIve read: Townstone Financial |
| 7:55
| Steve assumes that all the prime rate cutting yesterday will eventually translate into even better mortgage rates. |
| 7:56
| David wanted to call and talk about all that but Steve wasn't really in the mood. |
| 7:57
| Steve has a situation that he needs Buzz's advice on. It's a freaky situation too. On line one is Joel Brodsky, attorney for Drew Peterson. Do we really want to get that close tot his? |
| 7:58
| Joel is telling us that Drew wants to call in. Is Brendan sure that he's not being hosed? Todd Cavanah keeps getting emails from Rick Mims but he doesn't know who he his. He should try reading something else other than Inside Radio. |
| 7:59
| OK, Joel Brodsky is on the air and it's really him. Steve recognizes his voice because he's on TV a lot. |
| 8:00
| Steve read the other day that Joel was thinking about becoming a legal analyst for TV or radio stations. |
| 8:01
| So Drew wants to call in. Steve's not sure if he wants to get that close. Joel was thinking they could have Dueling Petersons or something. |
| 8:02
| Drew likes the songs Steve has done. This is really freaking Steve out. Steve thought Drew was charging for interviews. |
| 8:03
| Maybe they could license the Drew Peterson songs or something. Joel wants to do this right now. |
| 8:04
| Steve feels he needs to go with this. If he waits until after the show he won't pull the trigger on it. |
| 8:05
| In the meantime it's time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. It's also Sauce Packet Wednesday. Steve has some sauce packets in front of him. |
| 8:06
| Joel and Drew are going to call back. Should Steve take a break or are they calling back right now? The longer Steve waits the more likely he won't want to do it. |
| 8:07
| Steve's good at recognizing voices, that was definitely Joel Brodsky. He conferenced in Drew and they're going to call in. |
| 8:08
| Steve doesn't want to be the next Amy Jacobson although he doesn't have credibility in any way, shape or form. |
| 8:09
| Steve sees that we have two calls on hold. Line 11 is Drew Peterson, line 12 is Joel Brodsky. Steve's going to put Joel on first as the attorney. |
| 8:10
| Alright Drew is on the line. His friends call him all the time and tell him about the songs. |
| 8:11
| Steve lived in Bolingbrook, over on Clover, and he was brought in for unpaid parking tickets. Drew was actually there. The whole police staff was there, there were only 4 of them in a double wide. |
| 8:12
| Steve got tickets for parking in a fire zone at Old Chicago. His argument was that the paint had worn off. Steve can't remember how it was adjudicated but the guys at the police department were nice. |
| 8:13
| Another time some kid brought Steve a bag of M80s at a Breakfast Club show. Steve didn't know how to dispose of them so he put them in his garage. |
| 8:14
| A neighbor kid who mowed his lawn saw the fireworks and told his dad who called the police. Then Steve got hauled in again. That's where he could have used a Joel Brodsky on his legal team. |
| 8:15
| DId Drew really cruise that Denny's where Stacy was having dinner with that nurse? That's the same Denny's Steve had breakfast at after Disco Demolition. |
| 8:16
| Steve has a question for Drew. If Stacy ran off with a guy, why hasn't anyone reported a guy missing? That might be an avenue to pursue. Guys aren't missed as much as girls though because guys are jerks. |
| 8:17
| They've got some people pursuing that angle. In the meantime if the person who sent that text would come forward that would be helpful. Steve knows it wasn't him. It wasn't Buzz was it? |
| 8:18
| Steve's other question is what happened to the website. Joel can probably answer this one. The guy who hosted the site was blown away by how many hits they got, it was too many. |
| 8:19
| What about that woman who left the note for Drew in his mailbox? Has she resurfaced yet? She didn't leave her name. That might have been a blond moment. At least the ladies are coming back to him. |
| 8:20
| Joel suggests Win a Date with Drew. Steve would do that, in for a penny, in for a pound right? How about tomorrow at 8? Drew wants someone who sounds more like him though. Steve thinks he sounds like Drew. It's a caricature he's doing but It's close enough to entertain the masses. Who picks the dates? Steve will line up the bachelorettes and Drew gets to pick. We'll probably have to send a chaperone just to be on the safe side. Drew wants Steve as the chaperone on the date. |
| 8:21
| Steve's going to put Drew and Joel on hold and get some phone numbers. Then they can call back tomorrow at 8. |
| 8:22
| Yikes! Tomorrow, Drew Peterson Dating Game at 8 am, be there! |
| 8:27
| Steve's a little hurt that Drew thinks he doesn't sound like him. It's probably like when you listen to yourself in a tape recorder and it doesn't sound like you. |
| 8:28
| It's nice to know that Drew was there when Steve got pinched for the parking ticket. |
| 8:29
| In all of Buzz's years in radio he's never seen anything break that fortuitously. Joel has called before to say thanks for not breaking bad. Steve doesn't have all the details so he doesn't know. All he knows is it's a comedic goldmine for him. |
| 8:30
| So plan on Dating Game with Drew tomorrow at 8 unless they change their mind. If they were smart they would. If there is a date Steve's going to chaperone. He'd love to get the film rights to something like that. |
| 8:31
| Bob and Ron are here and they're uber-jacked about this. This is the greatest Wake and Bake Wednesday ever. Pete was also uber-jacked. |
| 8:32
| He couldn't have been nice. Of course, he's a Parrothead, and a jokester. All of this takes on new meaning for Steve knowing that Drew is listening. |
| 8:33
| Rock history seems so insignificant now after that but people still need to rock. Steve wouldn't mind chilling in a bean bag chair though. |
| 8:34
| It's Warren Zevon's birthday this week. He taught us to enjoy every sandwich. Steve thinks about that every time he has a sandwich. At least once or twice a day, when something irritates him he stops and thinks that at least he's around to be irritated by stuff. |
| 8:35
| It's also God's birthday this week, born to Grace Slick and Paul Kantner. She later changed her name to China which is much more normal. |
| 8:36
| It's also Robin Zander's birthday. Cheap Trick was Ron's first concert. They still know how to rock too. |
| 8:37
| Song: Southern Girls, Cheap Trick |
| 8:40
| That's one of Steve's favorite Cheap Trick songs. It's Robin Zander's birthday this week so happy birthday to him. Steve's pretty sure he lives in town but he might still be up in Rockford. |
| 8:41
| If you're just joining us, Steve and Buzz talked to Drew Peterson and his attorney Joel Brodsky. They've set up a Dating Game for tomorrow. He's not kidding either. |
| 8:42
| Steve's been trying to avoid talking to those two guys but some how they ended up on the air. They charmed their way on. |
| 8:43
| Live read: The Little Guys |

| That's Drew's attorney, Freckle-Faced Grape. Is Buzz ready for some nuevos rancheros? |

| The autopsy is schedule for today for actor Heath Ledger. He was discovered dead yesterday in an apartment in New York, nude. Police officers in New York refuted early claims that pills were strewn all around the apartment. There's also word that he could have been suffering from pneumonia. |
| 8:49
| It could be another bad day on Wall Street. Couldn't Buzz have found an analyst who didn't sound so negative? |
| 8:50
| Steve's looking at his iPhone for some Dow info, as of 20 minutes ago it's down 235 points. The person Steve wants to be is the woman he saw on the news last night who said he makes money if the market goes up or down. |
| 8:51
| Hillary Clinton got a key endorsement from United Farm Workers yesterday in Salinas, California. Barack's still in South Carolina or North Carolina getting the black vote. Hillary bugged out and went to California to get the Latino vote. |
| 8:52
| Can't they just combine North and South Carolina? Steve can never tell the difference. Buzz has been to both states and there's a vast difference. When you cross from South to North it's like going from hell to heaven. |
| 8:53
| If Steve were a staunch Democrat, which he's not, he wouldn't be happy that Barack and Hillary are cannibalizing each other. At some point they're going to have to reunite for the greater good. A lot of that stuff they're saying can't be taken back, like Hillary's "slumlord" comment. |

| Promotion of Ringo Starr's new album has gotten off to a rocky start after he walked off the set of Regis & Kelly. They wanted him to shorten a song and he wouldn't do it. |
| 8:55
| Steve partied with Ringo but after he stopped drinking. It was still fun though. Ringo always seemed fun to Buzz. |
| 8:56
| According to some reports Chicago has the inside edge on winning it's bid for the 2016 Olympic Games. |
| 8:57
| Area 51, known around the world as a place that the government uses to house aliens, had it's name changed to simply Homme Airport. |
| 8:58
| Steve prefers Area 51. Although his Area 51 t-shirt will become a collector's item. |
| 9:00
| Pat Boyle, or Peanut Butter, is on the phone. The Drew Peterson stuff earlier was incredible. It seemed surreal also. Steve's a professional but yes it was surreal. |
| 9:01
| Steve has done his best to avoid Drew and Joel but they ended up right in his lap. And now he's doing a Dating Game with Drew tomorrow. |
| 9:02
| Pat can't believe Drew didn't like Steve's impersonation. It sounds right on. The good news is that Steve's not changing his impersonation because Drew didn't think it sounded like him. |
| 9:03
| Steve had to dump something Pat said. He's like Joe Loose Cannon today. Steve doesn't like to talk about what Pat was talking about. It's like money. As long as he has enough to do whatever he wants he tries not to pay attention. |
| 9:04
| Steve's going to put Pat in the penalty box and play a song. It's a 4 minute song so it's a major penalty. |
| 9:05
| Song: Yellow, Coldplay |
| 9:09
| Guess what time it is Buzz? It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time. |
| 9:10
| As a renowned sportscaster Pat Boyle is familiar with the term "no harm, no foul." The delay was working so it's all good. |
| 9:11
| Steve heard last night that the Bulls are only 2 games out of being in the playoffs, is that true? |
| 9:12
| It is true. That's ridiculous, they need to tighten up those playoffs. They're only at the halfway point of the season and then playoffs go into June. |
| 9:13
| Basketball needs to stop when baseball starts. Sports shouldn't overlap as much as they do. The beauty of sports is that there's never a lull in between seasons. |
| 9:14
| The football season is the perfect length although after the Super Bowl there's really nothing that can match the excitement of football. |
| 9:15
| The Hawks lost to San Jose last night. Adam Burish did have his first NHL goal though. |
| 9:16
| SoxFest is this weekend, it should be tough for Kenny Williams. There are a lot of disgruntled people out there. Kenny said he's not done yet but he's also said he thinks the team is ready to compete now. |
| 9:17
| Pat has some extended Kenny Williams audio. It could have probably put Steve to sleep last night. |
| 9:18
| What's the deal with Tom Brady? Steve saw the video of him in the cast yesterday while looking for some Heath Ledger stuff. |
| 9:19
| Imagine what it's like if you're a Tom Brady and everywhere you go people are yelling questions at you and taking your picture. |
| 9:26
| Chef Hans is here for Meat Talk. Hans was just out in the hallway trying to get a building pass and was denied because he's not an employee. |
| 9:27
| There are plenty of freelancers who have building pass, Steve's going to get him one. He might have to pay him $20 or something but Hans can just give that back. |
| 9:28
| On the phone is Blackhawks great Cliff Correl. Cliff thinks that Hans doesn't get a building pass because he's a little shifty looking. |
| 9:29
| Buzz might not know this but Cliff played his entire career with the Blackhawks. Who doesn't know that? |
| 9:30
| Cliff works with the Blackhawks Alumni, the biggest thing they do is get out and give scholarships to high school hockey players. Sounds like a great charity and a great excuse to get out of the house. |
| 9:31
| Coming up Cliff and a few other alumni will be participating in sled hockey. They play against a team of paraplegic kids who skate on sleds with a blade on the bottom. |
| 9:32
| Steve saw something about that on TV, it's pretty impressive that they can do that. It's quite a workout for Cliff too. |
| 9:33
| Hans doesn't want to let Cliff go without hearing a hockey story. Is this suitable for broadcast? |
| 9:34
| When Cliff first came to the NHL he was on the Hawks farm team in Omaha. When he joined the team they were 0-11. |
| 9:35
| At the end of his first game Cliff got slashed across the face and needed stitches. They won the game though so now they were 1-11. |
| 9:36
| As Cliff was waiting for the team doctor he heard some ice clinking into a glass. Cliff didn't get any Novocain for the stitches, just some alcohol. |
| 9:37
| When Cliff got back to his room he couldn't get to sleep. Turns out the doctor had stitched his eyelids open on accident. |
| 9:38
| So what's happening in the world of meat? Hans was just reading that a new study shows the more meat you cut the healthier you are. Hans cuts a lot of meat. |
| 9:39
| The big Escoffier dinner is coming up and Steve's bringing Patrick Bertoletti. Hans wanted to make sure Patrick could fit in a tuxedo though. |
| 9:40
| Patrick is tall and skinny, he'll fit. Hans met Patrick at the March of Dimes benefit and he said he'd cover up his mohawk for the dinner. |
| 9:41
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 9:48
| Steve needs to go home and take a nap. He's going to throw the Twilight Zone music out there and then open the Mailbag. |
| 9:49
| Usually Steve goes through the Mailbag and selects letters he wants to read but after the Drew Peterson stuff he's going to just scan through and see what he can find. |
| 9:49
| The first email's subject line is "You are a radio genius" which of course draws Steve's interest. She also loves the Peanut Butter Jelly song and Cliff Correl is one of her favorite Blackhawk players. That's a hat trick right there. |
| 9:50
| The next emailer almost threw up on 294 this morning when she heard about the Dating Game with Drew. Is that good or bad? It's good if they're listening tomorrow. |
| 9:51
| The guy who called earlier with that word "concomitant" and then was hung up on emailed to apologized. Steve will send him a little something for the effort, that's the kind of guy he is. |
| 9:52
| Emailer Bruce gives Steve kudos on the Drew interview. He thinks Steve's positioned himself for some sort of radio award. |
| 9:53
| The next email is titled "Your career needs Drew?" You can imagine where this is going. He's wondering why Steve thinks he has to buddy up to Drew. |
| 9:54
| Steve's not buddying up. When an opportunity comes along like this you have to take it. The emailer will not be listening until Monday morning. Drew's only calling in tomorrow. |
| 9:55
| Steve tried to avoid talking to Drew or Joel this entire time. He's even stopped going through Bolingbrook. |
| 9:56
| Emailer Anne couldn't believe what she was hearing this morning. Just when she thought it couldn't get weirder, it did and then Joel suggested the Dating Game. |
| 9:57
| Steve's "Yikes" afterwards perfectly summed up with Anne was feeling. That's pretty much how Steve was feeling too. |
| 9:58
| Steve has yet another email from a guy who wrote a book and has been trying to get on the show. Another emailer, Steve, sums it up in one word, "whoa". |
| 9:59
| As far as Steve knows we're going through with it tomorrow. Todd was down here after it happened and he was the one who requested we replay clips from the interview. |
| 10:00
| Brendan is already fielding phone calls from women who want to be contestants. Any woman out there knows that dating Drew could mean braces, a boob job, a tummy tuck, hair removal and...what's the other one? Steve can never remember the last one. |
| 10:01
| Pete's trying to find the list but he doesn't remember either. It's in the latest version of Bolingbrookville, maybe Steve should play that to end the show. |
| 10:02
| Song: Bolingbrookville, Steve Dahl |
