| 5:30
| That's some Joan Jett right there, just how Buzz wants to kick off the show for today. |
| 5:31
| Isn't I Hate Myself For Loving You the song they used for Football Night in America? Only they changed the lyrics, right Pete? |
| 5:32
| Why is Steve asking Pete, he doesn't know anything about current, popular music. Of course whenever Steve says that Pete says he does like whatever they're talking about. |
| 5:33
| Pink doesn't sing that song any more, it's Faith Hill. Quite frankly, that's an upgrade for Steve. Pink, dressed like a dude, on the top of 30 Rock wasn't doing it for him. |
| 5:34
| One thing about Pink, she really sold it. Faith Hill doesn't sell it like Pink did, it seems like she's just doing it because it's hot. Faith HIll's performance could be saved by some partial nudity. |
| 5:35
| Steve's pretty sure that Faith Hill is wearing pants, right Pete? Maybe Jim knows, he seems to know a lot about TV. |
| 5:36
| Steve calls down to the newsroom. How's Jim doing today? Pete's probably wondering why Steve never asks him how he's doing. Pete never asks Steve how he's doing, that's why. |
| 5:37
| Jim is pretty sure that Faith HIll is wearing pants. She might want to go with a skirt that gets blown up by a gust of wind. Jim thought she was singing in a city landscape but she's on stage. |
| 5:38
| Maybe Jim's confusing Faith HIll's set with Pink's, she had her skirt blown up. Jim shudders at that thought. He says that now but if a Jim kid was alone, and his black girlfriend was nowhere in site, and Pink started working him at Smart Bar, he'd probably succumb. |
| 5:39
| Jim thinks Pink is a Cincinnati Bengal, that means ugly helmet, nice uniform. Is Jim's girlfriend listening right now? Steve would do her but he doesn't know about anyone else. He might bring along some fingernail polish though. She always has goofy nails that would distract him. |
| 5:40
| The weirdest thing about Football Night in America is how Dick Ebersol has to have his name as the first thing on screen, before even the teams. |
| 5:41
| Steve knows Ebersol, he's a tool, a Notre Dame tool. Down at Notre Dame they actually have a Hall of Tools and he's in there. Jim can't wait to see it. |
| 5:42
| Don't make fun of the Notre Dame dome or Touchdown Jesus though. Does Buzz know about that? This girl was invited to an ESPN roast, that wasn't televised, of Mike Golic who went to Notre Dame. |
| 5:43
| Dana Jacobson also works for ESPN and at the roast she ripped on Notre Dame and Touchdown Jesus. Pete says there is video of the roast and the guy who's up in arms about it wants to see it. |
| 5:44
| He said it's fine if she said "F Touchdown Jesus" but if she said "F Jesus" she needs to be reprimanded. Jesus doesn't play that. You can say whatever you want but Jesus won't go along. Not only did he travel with a prostitute who was possibly his wife but he probably could have pulled some tail if he wanted to. |
| 5:45
| Based on the last two days though, Steve can see how you can get in trouble really quickly. You're in trouble for just thinking stuff these days. Next thing you know, you're everywhere. |
| 5:46
| On January 11th Dana Jacobson attended a roast for Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic. The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights have cited various website reports for their |
| 5:47
| Religion and civil rights don't really go together do they? They've sort of bitten off more than they can chew. Plus they're not allowing her free speech. They're for free speech, just not yours. She said "F Notre Dame, F Touchdown Jesus and F Jesus" Comedy is done in threes. Plus Jesus doesn't play that. |
| 5:48
| Caller Joe saw a Sun-Times article about Jacobson the other day, it said she was swilling vodka from a bottle of Belvedere. Is that the vodka named after Mr. Belvedere? |
| 5:49
| Caller Matt is surprised that the Catholics don't have a problem with Touchdown Jesus. Somehow there are a lot of Notre Dame types who think football is mentioned in the Bible. It's not in there. They don't even mention soccer. |

| You want an HDTV for the Super Bowl. Plus you have to get one eventually since all TV is going digital. |
| 5:58
| Buzz saw the first minute of Breaking Bad with Bryan Cranston. That pilot is perfect, it's self-contained and there's a pay off right at the beginning. |
| 5:59
| Steve loves shows about meth cookers and tweakers but meth is not something he'd ever want to do. |
| 6:00
| Steve learned from watching COPS that nothing ever good happens to the tweakers. |
| 6:01
| Anything you see about meth is a great anti-drug message. You wouldn't want to get involved with those kind of people. |
| 6:02
| News with Buzz |
| 6:03
| A deal has been reached on an economic stimulus package. Steve finally realized what they're doing with this thing. They're giving money to the people who they know will go right out and spend it. |
| 6:04
| They're overlooking Buzz, he'd take that money and blow it too. He's got the money to blow though. |
| 6:05
| Turns out Saddam Hussein misrepresented his country's nuclear arsenal in hopes that Iran wouldn't invade. He never thought the U.S. would invade. |
| 6:06
| John McCain, speaking to supporters last week, incorrectly identified Vladimir Putin as the president of Germany. Is there video of that? |
| 6:07
| Dennis Kucinich has dropped out of the Presidential race. |
| 6:08
| Chicago's murder rate is at it's lowest in years. That's probably because it's too cold to kill people. Warmer days are ahead, it could be in the 20s today. Steve will have to make sure his AC is working. |
| 6:09
| Does Buzz need to clear his throat? Steve's prepared to do a double throat clear. |
| 6:10
| It's supposed to snow today but it'll be in the 40s by Sunday. Steve always feels bad when people have a heart attack shoveling snow since it melts eventually. It'll be 46º by Monday. |
| 6:11
| It's -4º right now though. It was 0º when Steve left the Blackhawks game last night which tied in with the number of goals they scored. |
| 6:12
| Barack Obama appeared on Letterman last night to present a Top Ten List of campaign promises. |
| 6:13
| Officials at a Midlothian school have agreed to stop playing donkey basketball at their annual winter festival after complaints from animal rights activists What doss a donkey care if it's playing basketball? The donkeys who like basketball gravitate towards donkey basketball. The more sexual donkeys gravitate towards donkey shows-which are illegal now-and the donkeys that like to hike and are outdoorsy work the Grand Canyon. If a donkey likes basketball he should be allowed to play. |
| 6:14
| Drew Peterson's friend Ric Mims testified in front of a grand jury yesterday. He also told reporters of Drew's jealousy with previous wives. |
| 6:15
| Ric Mims emails Todd Cavanah all the time and then he brings it into Steve. Apparently he had some incident in front of a Cheddars. Steve does not want a personal relationship with anyone in this case. |
| 6:23

| 6:24
| Time now for the web poll, which is only conducted during show hours. That would explain the lower-than-Steve-would-like participation numbers. |
| 6:25
| After the show is over the panel where the poll is goes back to Steve's latest Tribune article. |
| 6:26
| Yesterday the votes were under 600 but it was only mentioned once. Yesterday 60% of the people said they'd been addicted to a video game. |
| 6:27
| Buzz is surprised by that. Steve's addicted to Monkey Solitaire. If you're addicted to a video game that could just mean you think about it when you're not playing it. |
| 6:28
| Steve doesn't really care how many people are voting, he's not making money of the website. In fact it costs him money but he doesn't it for the people. |
| 6:29
| Today's web poll question is "would you be interested in breakfast pizza?" Steve will say yes even though he doesn't know what breakfast pizza is. Buzz wants to know what it is too. |
| 6:30
| Zippy's is offering breakfast pizza by the slice. Debbie Matthews family made Zippy's a household name during the 80s and 90s. |
| 6:31
| Last November she brought Zippy's back with a new location. More than 100 local business failed in Clayton Township, Michigan so it was risky. Sounds like a great town. |
| 6:32
| Debbie saved $20,000 in start up costs by purchasing second-hand equipment on eBay. When she got the pizza oven she wasn't sure if it would work. There are some pizza places by Steve that sell you uncooked pizzas. If Steve wanted to make his own pizza he'd open a pizza place. |
| 6:33
| Zippy's breakfast pizza is basically an omelet on pizza dough with cheese, eggs, bacon, ham and peppers. Sounds great. |
| 6:34
| If Buzz is ever in Michigan he can visit Zippy's at 1072 South Elms in Clayton Township. They don't open until 8 am which seems a little late for breakfast. |
| 6:35
| The other day a guy sent Steve a recipe for a breakfast pizza that had ranch dressing on it, along with other pizza ingredients. It sounded disgusting. Ranch dressing isn't a traditional breakfast item. |
| 6:36
| Caller Carol wanted to let Steve know about Market Day's breakfast pizza. Steve used to get that when the boys are in school but he's since banned it because the boxes take up too much space. |
| 6:37
| All Buzz knows is that Market Day makes a great cookie dough. He's never noticed the size of the packaging. That's all part of Being Buzz Kilman. He doesn't care about the storage of the dough, just that he has good cookies. |
| 6:38
| Caller Scott was wondering if Debbie Matthews, owner of Zippy's, was Kev's wife. Steve's not sure where Clayton Township is. The thought of Kevin making pizzas is funny, then he'd plug it on the show. It'd be just like them to open up at 8 am. |
| 6:39
| Caller Doug is just getting into work, he picks up hazmat materials. So if Steve left his spent plutonium on the curb Doug would pick it up? |
| 6:40
| Mainly Doug goes to places like Home Depot and picks up things they can't throw out like paint or chemicals. Steve just dump his paint into the storm drain but not right in front of his house. |
| 6:41
| Doug stops by a Speedway every now and then and they carry a breakfast pizza by the slice. It's pretty good. |
| 6:42
| 7-11 has weird breakfast logs that are spinning around on that hot dog roller. Steve always wants to get one but he's usually there too late in the day. Of course that's exactly what draws Buzz to the movie theater hot dog. He likes them aged. |
| 6:43
| Should this be a Pizza Tragedies segment? There aren't any tragedies but if Steve could find that email from the guy who suggested ranch dressing on pizza you'd know it was a tragedy. |
| 6:44
| Doug worked at a pizza place in his younger days that made a BLT pizza with mayo on it. Buzz can't believe a pizza place actually made that. He's probably never been in a pizza place though. Up until a year ago he was ordering from Domino's. |
| 6:45
| Caller Bill has some info about the 7-11 breakfast items. They're called Tornados and they have sausage ones with a little kick as well as eggs and they're wrapped around something that's between a tortilla and a pancake. |
| 6:46
| They look good and Steve likes how they roll around on that thing. He can see how Buzz is attracted to the rolling hot dogs. |
| 6:47
| Bill is down in Plainfield, any Lisa Stebic sightings? That poor girl has fallen right off the map. Bill agrees with that one guy who said that Lisa and Stacy Peterson both look alike. Bill thinks that maybe they're all with Natalee Holloway. Now he's just saying any crazy thing. It sounds like he just needs to rent a porno or something. |
| 6:48
| Is Bill saying that there was one guy who took both of them? Did he kill them or did he run off with them to the Dominican Republic. |
| 6:49
| Caller Leela is a one-time Taco Pal. She knows her way around a taco. She spends a lot of time in Wisconsin, which is a dream of Steve and Buzz's. |
| 6:50
| Leela's friend turned her on to a frozen breakfast pizza that they carry in a few area grocery stores up there. The sauce is like a gravy for biscuits and gravy. Then there's little chunks of sausage along with eggs and cheese. |
| 6:51
| That sounds fantastic. Leela is right by the Dell's, if Steve and Buzz leave now they could be there by noon and then asleep by 2 pm. Then off to an indoor water park. |
| 6:52
| Steve actually met Leela at Bandito Barney's. She brought a friend for a three-way taco eating. How did Steve miss that? |
| 7:00
| Yesterday someone from the Chicago Olympics Committee dropped off one of those packets, the one that cost $46 million to make. Steve thought they cost that much because each one had a million dollars in it but his didn't. |
| 7:01
| Steve has an article that the committee might want to add to the packet. It could help us get the games over Rio. |
| 7:02
| Two assailants on a motorcycle grabbed a woman as she was walking to church and chopped her waist-length hair off with a machete. That stuff doesn't happen here. |
| 7:03
| Buzz doesn't think we have any women here who haven't cut their hair in 20 years. It's probably not the norm but Steve's guessing there are listeners out there who haven't cut their hair in 20 years. Plus if we don't have people with waist-length hair then we can't use this as ammunition. |
| 7:04
| Maybe it was just two hairdressers who couldn't take the woman's unmanageable hair. Hairdressers from Brazil would probably have an accent but Steve can't do Portuguese. If he does it it sounds more German but it might be close to German. It's not a romance language. |
| 7:05
| Authorities believe the men cut the woman's hair off with the intent of selling it to make a wig. A hairpiece of that size could cost as much as $500. |
| 7:06
| It sounds like a hot bed of crime down there, do they really want the Olympics there? |
| 7:07
| That pizza place with the breakfast pizza is in Flint so Steve can have his brother-in-law try it out for him. He's pretty sure Kevin Matthews' wife doesn't run the place but it seems like them to open up at 8 am. |
| 7:08
| If you don't start serving your breakfast pizza until 8 am you're catering to fat housewives who just dropped their kids off at school. There's probably a market in that though. |

| 7:15
| There's a whole thing in the Sun-TImes about Drew and Stacy's house and the transfer of a deed. People are claiming the signature on the document is not Kathleen Savio's. |
| 7:16
| There's a lot of stuff about that but there's something else Steve found amusing. The headline is "Nasty e-mail exchange over radio gimmick." It wasn't a gimmick, they called Steve. |
| 7:17
| Drew's suggestion about looking for dates on a "popular Chicago radio program" irritated relatives of Stacy and listeners. Steve appreciates being called popular but can't they mention the show? |
| 7:18
| Steve got a lot of hate letters after Drew was on, when it seemed like there was going to be a Dating Game. But once it didn't happen why would you still send Steve a hate letter? |
| 7:19
| Steve gets why people would sent mean stuff after the show on Wednesday, there's a woman missing. He hasn't been charged with anything, you're innocent until proven guilty, but it doesn't seem like you want to fix up a listener with Drew. |
| 7:20
| Once you find out that we came to our senses and weren't going to do it you should stop sending emails about how horrible Steve is. So it's probably just people who don't listen sending in emails. Some people find in enjoyment in being outraged. |
| 7:25
| Was that Natalie Martinez talking to Zoraida Zambolin, has Steve correctly identified his newsbabes? That was actually Marion Brooks she was talking to. |
| 7:26
| Natalie was waiting in the lobby to interview Steve after the show yesterday. He actually missed Pilates waiting her out. |
| 7:27
| Randy Salerno died last night. He was killed in a snowmobiling accident in Eagle River, Wisconsin. |
| 7:28
| Randy was a good guy, that's a shame. He was a really good guy and funny too. He was a good broadcast and there aren't that many of those around. |
| 7:29
| Randy was on Garry's show when he was on WCKG. He was very funny on there. |

| 7:31
| OK on to the letter Steve got. It came in at 5:46 pm yesterday, way after it was clear that there would be no Dating Game. |
| 7:32
| The emailer has listened since they were 10 years old and nothing as upset, offended them or made them madder than the Drew thing. If that's the case then Steve wasn't doing his job. |
| 7:33
| The dating scheme for Drew was as low as a person could go and they never thought it would be Steve who would go that low. She said it was worse than Leykis or Imus. It must be a radio person, who else would know that? |
| 7:34
| Finally, the emailer plans on emailing Jack about all this. Steve's pretty sure they know already. |
| 7:35
| Drew wasn't disappointed that the segment was canceled but he came up with some questions including do you need a boob job, do you get PMS, have you ever lived in a home that required license plates and do you have any tattoos that are spelled correctly. He's just using Steve's jokes against him now. |
| 7:37
| Drew's on Good Morning America now, sporting a beard. Is this new footage? Jim Avala has the story. |
| 7:38
| Steve received some inside information from someone in the industry that Drew had been paid for photos and an interview, this must be it. |
| 7:39
| Drew says the whole thing is painful and he doesn't spend time walking down memory lane. It didn't seem as painful on Wednesday, he seemed to be working through it. |
| 7:40
| They're showing video of Peterson's wedding to Savio, she's got quite a rack on her. She didn't need no boob job, that's probably where Stacy got the idea from. |
| 7:41
| Drew says that women walk up to him and give him their phone numbers all the time but he says he hasn't called anyone. Not a single one? Steve and Buzz would call them, they're guys. |
| 7:42
| Drew doesn't want to walk down memory lane but he'll sell ABC his wedding video? This thing just gets weirder and weirder. |

| Steve was just sitting in the studio, looking at his computer when he decided the display didn't look right. So he changed the aspect ratio and now both of his screens are blank. |
| 7:56
| Steve needs the screens for Ben Gay so until he can get Ed Silha in here he'll be computerless. Steve has no idea why he changed the ratio, it's like he has a death wish. It's really complicated to go from his Mac and then split it onto two screens. |
| 7:57
| They don't have Apple monitors in the studio so they don't play well together as the kids say. Steve should get some Apple monitors though, it just looks cooler. |
| 7:58
| Ed Silha is on the phone, how's the gall bladder doing? It's actually gone, it was taken out last week. We've had a lot of illness around here. A few weeks ago Pete had Hot Potato Mouth because of an abscess in his throat. |
| 7:59
| Adam just came into the studio to help Steve but he's ruining a good bit. He's being too helpful. |
| 8:00
| Steve has requested that we have some instant mashed potatoes on hand so Pete could have Hot Potato Mouth whenever we need it. So far no one has gotten the instant potatoes though. |
| 8:01
| Steve's just going to get them himself this weekend. He feels that Pete has probably talked people out of buying the potatoes, he only likes to eat yogurt during the week. Then on the weekend he has about a thousand beers and date rapes a lamp post. |
| 8:02
| Ed is fully recovered from his gall bladder surgery which was surprising to him. He scheduled the surgery around the show on a Friday afternoon. Pete didn't go to the emergency room until late on a Sunday but it actually benefited the show. |
| 8:03
| Stephanie went home yesterday with a high fever and ended up going to the emergency room. She's not sure what's wrong with her but if she has a chest cold it would be massive. That girl has a chest and Steve means that in a good way. |
| 8:04
| Hopefully she doesn't have the flu because then everyone else will get it except Steve. As far as Steve knows he's the only one who got a flu shot. Ed got one too but he's not actually here. It could be the Steve Dahl Show featuring Ed Silha. |
| 8:05
| Ed is one person he'd have no problem doing a Dating Game with. That would be ethically and morally acceptable. |
| 8:06
| Ed thinks Steve should get Apple monitors in the studio but they won't match everything else. Steve's willing to look past that and have two sweet looking Apple monitors and then the other Jack computers. It'll show that Steve's creative and Jack is a load. |
| 8:07
| Ed should think about that Dating Game. The listeners know Ed, they love him and they know Steve loves him in a manly way. Their butts did touch quite a bit at the Hawks game though. |
| 8:08
| Wasn't there a time when Ed was in a 4 year drought? He's too picky, that's the problem. Steve gets being picky but not 4 years picky. |
| 8:09
| Buzz fantasizes about auditioning professionals should life go bad for him. It will go bad for him if his wife hears hits. Professionals don't audition, does Buzz know that? |
| 8:10
| The last time for Ed was over a year ago but that was not at Matt Dahl's birthday party. That was where Catman tried to get Ed's girl from him. |
| 8:11
| Bonnie formerly of Stan and Terry's show is on the phone. Her alarm went off to Steve and Buzz talking to Ed about his dry spell. |
| 8:12
| It reminded her of the time she tried to set Ed up with her friend. He said she was too tall. She had Steve at "girl". Does Bonnie want to set Steve up? Him and his wife are separated, she's in Florida, he's here. |
| 8:13
| Ed shouldn't be so picky. After a 4 year dry spell people's house pets would start looking good to him. |
| 8:14
| What if Ed told us what he's looking for and then we broadcast that to everyone? Maybe Ed wants to get set up with Bonnie? |
| 8:15
| Bonnie doesn't think that's the case, she offered to bring him soup when he was recovering and she never heard back. Ed, what's wrong with you?! It's not about soup! |
| 8:21
| It's time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell, a little late today. Steve was having computer issues which always distracts him. Buzz had no computer issues, he just sat there staring at the tacos. |
| 8:22
| It's Weekend Kickoff Friday and Steve and Buzz are enjoying original tacos today. Buzz looks forward to this all week. |
| 8:23
| Yesterday he was crushed when Brendan informed him that tacos were only on Tuesday and Friday. He had to pull himself together before going back on the air. |
| 8:24
| Someone could have gotten Buzz a taco. Next week we could try to get a taco everyday if Buzz is interested. |
| 8:25
| Buzz has really fallen in love with the taco hasn't he. Before this segment started he hadn't been to a Taco Bell in years. |
| 8:26
| Ben Gay is here, he just powered down a few tacos in the hallway himself. They were delicious. He loves the original tacos, it's good to be original. |
| 8:27
| And speaking of original, the Blackhawks were shut-out 1-0 by the Blue Jackets last night. The Blackhawks were an Original 6 team, how did Buzz like his segue? |
| 8:28
| The Blue Jacket is a silly name for a team. Why not a strait jacket or a yellow jacket? |
| 8:29
| Dennis Savard blasted his team for their play last night. Ben likes when Savvy refers to the team as "the Indian". Buzz isn't quite sure what he's talking about. Is there an Indian statue or something? |
| 8:30
| The Indian is their logo but it's also a concept of the organization. It's a living, breathing entity to Savvy though. |
| 8:31
| The Bulls host the Charlotte Bobcats tonight. He's banned from the United Center for all games, not just hockey. It's not an NHL-wide ban though. |
| 8:32
| Northwestern remained winless in the Big 10 after losing to Michigan. Way to go! |
| 8:33
| SoxFest kicks off at the Palmer House Hilton today. Jerry Owens, Josh Fields and Jerry Reinsdorf called season ticket holders to thank them for their support. |
| 8:34
| Did Steve get a call? It seems like something he would have bragged about if it happened. |
| 8:35
| Why bother thanking the season ticket holders, they've already paid? It seems like a bad omen to thank you before the season. |
| 8:36
| The New York Post is speculating that Tom Brady may have hairplugs after he was spotted visiting a hair restoration clinic. He must have got the idea from Buzz, he probably listens online. |
| 8:37
| Shaquille O'Neil earns nearly $2 million a month according to financial affidavits from his divorce trial. Monthly expenses included $22,000 on maid services and $100,000 on vacations. |
| 8:38
| That's all the sports Ben has but it's enough for Buzz. If Buzz should be out and about this weekend and gets a chill Ben has a warming center, it's open 24 hours for him. |
| 8:45
| Steve heard Ben and Buzz talking about "the Indian". To Dennis Savard The Indian might be a god. It's a deity, an omnipotent, all-seeing, all-knowing being. It's kind of a cool concept. |

| Is Buzz ready with some news? Or should we just wait until 9 and have it be an official newscast. |
| 8:53
| There's a part of Steve that wants to wait until 9. He doesn't like to start the news before the top of the hour. |
| 8:54
| How about a Mailbag? Yesterday Steve mentioned airport temperature readings. Mark Czerniec, Director of Information Services, posts all this information on an HTML page that's basically a blog just for this show. |
| 8:55
| Steve used to make that page available to everyone but then other radio shows started using the information he gathered. |
| 8:56
| An emailer pointed out that Midway is an international airport although Steve said it wasn't yesterday. Now that Steve thinks about it he has flown to other countries out of there. |
| 8:57
| The next emailer alerts Steve to The Score's web poll yesterday which asked people if they would go to dinner with Drew. People like Stinky from Stickney probably care more about that poll than the presidential election. |
| 8:58
| The next email is from a musician who doesn't think Steve would like Rock Band. He's a drummer, is that really a musician? Drummers are just guys who hang out with musicians. He's also a guitar player. |
| 8:59
| Steve wouldn't like Rock Band because musicians like to play all those little nuances and you're penalized for it on the game. It sounds like this guy had a bad Rock Band experience or something. |
| 9:00
| Steve usually likes to do three emails for the Mailbag but he has one last one. It's actually from Monday when it snowed. |
| 9:01
| The emailer thinks Steve should start doing traffic updates in the mornings. On Monday he tuned in at 5:30 and Steve wasn't doing traffic. So he tuned to WBBM-AM and stayed there the whole morning. |
| 9:02
| Steve asked the guy if he was supposed to do traffic every 10 minutes. Plus once you hear one traffic report, do you need any more? |
| 9:03
| News with Buzz |

| Nearly all taxpayers will get a rebate from the government as part of President Bush's stimulus package. People with an income below $75,000 will get up to $600. Of course they're only giving it to people they know will spend it right away. |

| A woman convicted of a DUI accident that killed a bike rider was given a longer sentence because of a jailhouse conversation in which she laughed about the charges. |
| 9:08
| Caller Dean wanted to let Steve and Buzz know that the leader of Germany is a woman, so McCain's mistake is even worse. |

| Randy Salerno passed away also, in a snowmobile accident last night. |

| Amy Winehouse has gone into rehab at the urging of her friends. She was videotaped smoking crack although it could have been meth. |
| 9:11
| Finally from Portland, Maine, city workers are trying to figure out how to remove a giant blob of grease, flour and rags from city sewers. |
| 9:19
| It's troubling to Steve that we need to know the details of how Randy Salerno died, or how Heath Ledger died. What is it going to do? It's not going to help them. |
| 9:20
| Do we need to know that 6 different kinds of pills were found in Heath Ledger's apartment or that there was a rolled up $20 bill? |
| 9:21
| It's funny that Steve mentioned that because Buzz is looking at the latest Heath Ledger story. It says the housekeeper called Mary Kate Olsen 3 times before calling the police. |
| 9:22
| Those two that found him don't seem like the brightest bulbs. They must have thought they had to cover something up, besides the fact that he was naked. |
| 9:23
| There was a guy calling in about what John McCain said. Steve doesn't really care why he said it, it just seems like a mistake he doesn't want to make. It's playing right into his perceived weakness. |
| 9:24
| Steve likes John McCain. He likes that stuff about going to the gates of hell to get Bin Laden. |

| 9:26
| Peanut Butter is on the phone. Is his nickname catching on at work yet? Steve wants to get the song to the guy who does the hot mixes for B96. |
| 9:27
| The Hawks lost last night, the team looked uninspired although a few guys stepped it up. Patrick Kane was one of them, he was trying this best to hit guys. |
| 9:28
| Steve would like to send Cam Barker back up to Rockford, he's out there looking like he's afraid to get hit. |
| 9:29
| The Bulls take on the Bobcats tonight, Michael Jordan's team. Steve needs to point something out to his fine staff. The screen that has all the commercials on it is completely dead. |
| 9:30
| Steve's trying to get into the Bulls now that he knows they're only a game out of the 8th playoff spot. |
| 9:31
| Pat's wondering who's more disappointing, the Bulls, the Hawks or Steve's Sox. They're not Steve's Sox. Steve's Sox won the World Series in 2005. |
| 9:32
| He did already hand his money over to the Sox so he won't be getting a call from Reinsdorf or Jerry Owens. TUrns out they're only calling people who haven't re-upped yet. |
| 9:33
| Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson may be on the rocks according to OK Magazine. Romo called Jessica to break up but she refused. Apparently he just realized she's high maintenance. |
| 9:34
| Tony invited her on a camping trip thinking it would be the worst date ever for her. She wouldn't have her entourage or her dad with her so she'd want to break up. |
| 9:35
| Pat needs to start checking the celebrity blogs because Jessica's attorneys are refuting claims they're on the rocks. Why do you need a lawyer to talk about your love life? |
| 9:41
| That's Ryan Seacrest in Knocked Up, talking about Jessica Simpson. |
| 9:42
| Steve threw something out that he had to retrieve from the waste basket. He also threw out Buzz's taco wrapper, no charge for that. |

| Tom Thayer is on the phone. The first thing he saw on the local Maui station when he woke up was Steve's name scrolling on the bottom of the screen. |
| 9:45
| Tom left for Hawaii right after the season ended. So he's been there for a couple of weeks. Meanwhile it's so cold here. Tom feels bad for all the people he knows back here. |
| 9:46
| The sun isn't up yet, it's only 5:45. Tom just went out to get some coffee but he'll head out later. |
| 9:47
| What does Tom think about the Dana Jacobson thing? It's quite a story even in Hawaii. Tom is a proud graduate of Notre Dame but he wasn't offended by the comments. It was a roast! |
| 9:48
| Go to a Notre Dame/Michigan football game, put a mic on every player and see what you get from that. |
| 9:49
| Tom's wondering if anyone would know about it if Charlie Weis wasn't there. He didn't rat her out though. Tom has heard through the grapevine that Charlie uses way worse language than that. |
| 9:50
| Maybe Charlie tried to get her kicked out so he could get her entree. He likes the training table. Don't we all? |
| 9:51
| Steve's looking at a web cam on Front Street in Lahaina and it's still dark out. Tom knows of a few websites that can get you right to the beach in front of Tom's place. |
| 9:52
| Are Tom and Grant WIstrom working the crime watch out in Maui? Grant doesn't actually arrive until February. It's like Baywatch on foot. |
| 9:53
| Buzz might recall that a few years ago they were playing volleyball and someone snatched a purse. Tom and Grant jumped into action and chased the guy down. |
| 9:54
| What are the odds that you snatch a purse and then two NFL football players chase you down. It's a good prison story at least. |
| 9:55
| Tom will be home in February and April to see Steve and the family. Steve would rather go see Tom but that probably won't work out. |
| 9:56
| Steve never got to talk to Tom after the last two Bears game but he has a question for him. It's not a trick question either. He thought Kyle did a great job in those last two games but because the Bears weren't playing for anything he sort of got overlooked. |
| 9:57
| Tom thought he did great as well, especially with what he was working against. In the Packers game they had the weather to contend with and the next week the Saints were fighting for a playoff spot. |
| 9:58
| Tom thought he definitely played well enough to deserve consideration as a starter for next season. |
| 9:59
| The Bears probably downplayed Kyle because fans would start to wonder why they didn't start him from the beginning. |
| \10:00
| Kyle is a young quarterback and he's going to keep developing. If he has the chance to be under center with the #1 offense his development will continue and he'll start working out different game plans in his head. |
