| Is that the end of that piece of crap song? Steve does not like music like that. It doesn't even seem like a song, it seems like a guy with a bottle of tequila and a drum machine. |
| 5:33
| What the hell was that, Steve's never heard it before! He'll have to talk with Todd "Night at the Roxbury" Cavanah. It probably tests well or something. |
| 5:34
| That sounds like gay dance music. It sounds like music to take poppers and do a guy in a bathroom stall to. |
| 5:35
| The song would be What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy) by Information Society. They're a U.S. band originally from Minneapolis. That song was their break out hit. How could you even name your song something like that? |
| 5:36
| The song features a sample of Mr. Spock from Star Trek saying "pure energy" as well as a sample of Dr. McCoy at the beginning. |
| 5:37
| Steve didn't hear any of that but for some reason we don't get both stereo channels in some sectors of the studio. |
| 5:38
| Steve calls down to Penny, his knob rider. Steve prefers knob rider to level rider, it just seems dirtier. |
| 5:39
| Steve ran into Penny in the lobby today but he didn't have much to say to her. She did get off on the 9th floor and show him his pictures. |
| 5:40
| Penny says there were no Star Trek samples in that version of the song. So we don't even have the full one? Todd must have taken the Star Trek stuff out of there because it doesn't test well. |
| 5:41
| What's the deal with Todd, does Penny know? Is he a dancer? Todd didn't invite Steve to Vegas, where he's going for his birthday. Well he did invite him yesterday but it seemed like a fake invite. |
| 5:42
| Todd's going there with his girlfriend so Steve would be a third wheel. Just the way he likes it. Some guy, his girlfriend, Steve and a prostitute. Not to have sex with, just so he's not by himself. He'd pay $300 an hour for someone to have dinner with him. |
| 5:43
| Buzz would like to read something Chet Coppock wrote to Feder which is in his column today. Hey Buzz, the 90's called! Steve's very impressed with Buzz's tearing skills, it looks like he cut the column out with scissors. |
| 5:44
| Chet Coppock writes in "This year-if you're scoring at home-will be my 42nd year in the business. I just have one thing to say: Man, do I miss the cabbage I made at Channel 5." Is he that old? Or did he start working as a kid? |
| 5:45
| Steve's been in the business 37 years and he can prove it, unlike Chet Coppock. He'll be celebrating his 30th year in Chicago so he's expecting something nice and engraved from Buzz. "Dearest Steven..." |
| 5:46
| Steve feels bad for Chet because Dan McNeil stole his act and did it for a lot cheaper. That's why Steve's always keeping people down, they're always trying to do his thing for cheaper. Look at Matt and Brendan! Steve had the format switched just to keep them down. |
| 5:47
| Steve wants to bring up the concept of a WCKG curse. Since it switched to WDCH, The Douche, Terry Armour and Randy Salerno have died. Buzz didn't know Randy was on the station. Being Buzz Kilman! |
| 5:48
| Steve felt bad for Garry because everyone was doing testimonials about Randy and he didn't get much pub. Drew had some clips from Garry's show on the WBBM-AM website. |
| 5:49
| Drew's still pimping Garry, which is fine. Although he is pimping someone who will never put out. |
| 5:55
| Chet's been in the business for 42 years but he counts high school radio. So take that off and it's 38 years. Steve has 37 actual years, getting paid to be in the business. Should he lump his high school radio into it? |
| 5:56
| Steve's going to move on to his next irritating. In his Thought for the Day he misused a word which is going to bug him all day. He'll have to speak to Ed, if he's awake. |
| 5:57
| Buzz confirms he is awake, he's been in contact with him. Was he trying to figure out how to print the Rob Feder column? |
| 5:58
| Today's Thought for the Day is stupid but sometimes that happens. He's got a show to do, plus a blog and he also enforces all these restrictions on the Thought for the Day, like it has to be one sentence. |
| 5:59
| Today's Thought for the Day is
"I think that the President should have given The State Of The Union speech while appearing on one of the Prime Time TV show, that proceeded it like American Gladiators, Two and a Half Men, or even Dance Wars just to keep it interesting." Steve meant to say "preceded" |
| 6:00
| Ed Silha is on the phone. He gets up with the show but he doesn't have to. He could probably automate the Thought for the Day email. Can he send out a correction because otherwise it'll drive Steve crazy all day. |
| 6:01
| Ed has spell check but it won't catch some stuff. He went to college though, he should know the difference between proceed and precede. Steve's a drop out, he'll always go back to that. |
| 6:02
| It was a stupid Thought for the Day anyway. If it was funny Steve wouldn't care. |
| 6:03
| Steve was laying in bed watching that stupid speech, wishing it would just end. Nancy Pelosi looked good, she's a cougar. Steve's not a fan when she opens her yapper though. "Shhhhhhhhhh, Steve wants you to be quiet" |
| 6:04
| Steve came up with the Thought for the Day and he was so glad that he just sent it out. Steve wants to know how many people read the blog, he says as he tries to get out of writing the blog. |
| 6:05
| When the show was on in the afternoons Steve's rationalization for writing a blog was to practice writing and also give people a reason to go to the website and then be reminded the show is on. |
| 6:06
| Now Steve gives Ed the blog the previous afternoon so he doesn't know what he should write about. It's still Monday afternoon although Steve got into some Tony Rezko bashing today. |
| 6:07
| Over 30,000 people read the blog everyday. Really? That was a nice shot in the arm. How many people get the Thought for the Day? Ed has about 7,000 guaranteed email addresses. |
| 6:08
| It's funny when people want to unsubscribe to the email and don't just click the link on the bottom. Every time you send an email in you get on the mailing list. People get so mad about it though. Steve gets so much junk mail everyday, just delete it! Steve did get himself off of Hillary Clinton's mailing list, he was sick of that. 30,000 people, really? Steve should pay himself for that! |
| 6:09
| Does Buzz have any other computer problems to talk to Ed about? Ed's delivering his computer today, it'll be here by the end of the show. Buzz had Ed delivering computers for him?! Does he know Ed charges Steve by the hour. This will cost him $1,000 plus a $100 humiliation fee. |
| 6:10
| News with Buzz |
| 6:11
| The economy was the spotlight of last night's final State of the Union Address for President Bush. He implored Congress to pass his stimulus package. Steve has your stimulus package, right here! |
| 6:12
| Kathleen Sebelius, Governor of Kansas gave the Democratic rebuttal, saying the stimulus package was a good idea but is only a short-term fix. Buzz thought the Sebelius was an automaton. |
| 6:13
| Why do they let them do that? Plus it's on all of the networks. Sebelius sort of has a cougar look to her. |
| 6:14
| Steve can't watch that entire speech. He doesn't even know what No Child Left Behind is but it bugs him when half the room stands up and cheers. Plus they were all reading some program, is that the text of the speech? |
| 6:15
| She's hot in a cougarish way. How about a Sebelius/Pelosi three-way? Buzz doesn't think he could handle two cougars. They're not really cougars to him, they're just women his age. |
| 6:16
| Ted Kennedy has endorsed Barack Obama as President. That's a pretty big deal probably, Kennedy's the longest-serving legislator. Plus there's the cult of Kennedy worship. |
| 6:17
| Rudy Giuliani's newest campaign promise, made during a speech at Florida International University, is to put the United States on Mars. Let's go back to the moon first, fix that place up. |
| 6:18
| Tony Rezko was arrested yesterday and his bond was revoked by a Federal judge, at least until this afternoon. That judge, Amy St. Eve, was hopping mad. Amy St. Eve sounds like a stripper's name but she's a judge. She seems attractive based on the sketches but Steve hopes to never face her, at least in the court room. |
| 6:19
| How can Rezko say he's broke and then get a wire transfer for a few million from Iraq? |
| 6:20
| Steve's looking at a picture of Amy St. Eve and he's saying yes. Lay down the law baby! There's actually a photo of her right in Steve's own blog. |
| 6:21
| Tony Rezko must be a complete idiot. He's had all these opportunities, all these connections and he's broke? And how could he think that no one will notice $3.5 million coming in from Iraq. Doesn't he know the Feds would be watching any money coming from Iraq? |
| 6:22
| Vending machines that sell medicinal marijuana have popped up in two cannabis clubs in L.A. Medicinal marijuana users can only get an ounce per week which is more than enough. That's a lid, a fat lid. You'd have to be smoking all the time just to go through it. |
| 6:23
| Britney Spears will be allowed to speak to her children on the phone. But not in a British accent. If an accent is detected the line goes dead. |
| 6:24
| Did Steve see yesterday on one of those entertainment shows that she was doing a topless video or something? It seemed like one of those things that wouldn't have a pay off so Steve didn't watch. |
| 6:25
| A Logan Square bar is the first in Chicago to be ticketed under the new smoking ban. The owner of Helen's Two Way Bar called authorities after two patrons refused to put out their cigarettes. |
| 6:26
| Drew Peterson's old windows are up on eBay along with an old People magazine with him on the cover. Steve thought the windows had been sold. He doesn't want to bum Buzz out with the truth. |
| 6:30
| That Britney thing is just some dude peeping her while she's at a dance studio. It seems like they ought to leave the poor girl alone. At least she should go to a dance studio you can't see into. |
| 6:31
| Apparently she had another breakdown as well. Buzz heard that she invited some paparazzi over to her house for snacks. Then she went into her room and came out in different clothes and a pink wig, asking how everyone had gotten in there. |
| 6:32
| Brendan knows about the break down, he should just come in and talk about it. He's the entertainment expert on the Matt Dahl Show which was featured as a "new and notable" on iTunes yesterday. |
| 6:33
| The paparazzi guy she was dating, Adnan Ghalib, tried to go to her house yesterday but they wouldn't let him in. |
| 6:34
| Apparently George Clooney just realized he lived near Britney and now he's thinking about moving out. |
| 6:35
| Ghalib's wife came up with the idea of him dating Britney, then he got nude photos of her. But now the wife is divorcing him. Probably because he couldn't get as much as they thought for the photos. |
| 6:36
| Hollywood.tv has the Britney story, as if that's a real thing. Ghalib showed up at Britney's house last night and got into it with her bodyguard Sam Lufti and her parents. Lufti told Ghalib his influence on the star may kill her. |
| 6:37
| Ghalib arrived at her house but was denied entry several times. Then he drove around Mulholland Drive several times. No wonder Clooney wants to move out. There's already a For Sale sign on his lawn. Thanks Buy Owner! |
| 6:38
| Has anyone seen that Buy Owner commercial with the woman with the big lips and her daughter? Steve cant even do her accent but it might be New York. |
| 6:39
| Britney eventually left her house and was followed by Ghalib. Later she got into his car and they drove off. A flat tire then caused them to stop and draw even more paparazzi. They sure get a lot of flat tires out there. it seems like Britney has one every week. |
| 6:40
| Ebay shoppers can now buy Drew Peterson's old windows, a People magazine with Drew on it and several other tabloids. |
| 6:41
| Brian Lajewski lives in a Bolingbrook house where Peterson lived with his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Steve would have a tough time taking a bath in that house. |
| 6:42
| Savio didn't die in this house so it must be a different one. Drew thinks the eBay auction is hilarious. Drew said he'd sign the items if he got a cut. |
| 6:43
| Lajewski made it clear in the listing that the proceeds will not go to Drew's defense fund. |
| 6:44
| Back to Buzz. A Woodridge woman who faked a cancer diagnoses has been given 6 years in prison. |
| 6:45
| As vulnerable as naked mole rats seem to be scientists have discovered that the hairless, buck-toothed creatures are invulnerable to pain. |
| 6:46
| A strong winter storm is developing over the Western plains and will head into the Chicago area tonight. It's 45º now and it's supposed to get to 20º! |
| 6:52
| Britney's going to need an entire team of psychiatrists as well as some invisible pills. She needs to be invisible but that's probably not on her agenda. |

| 6:54
| Steve would like to ask Buzz's opinion on something. He went to Home Depot last night because he saw the weather forecast. |
| 6:55
| Steve decided to get some salt because he likes having it. They often run low on it and the supply has been iffy since that ice storm hit Oklahoma. |
| 6:56
| They don't have the salt in the bucket which Steve prefers. He does have a bucket so he just buys the bags of salt. |
| 6:57
| Steve got himself 200 pounds of salt and two bottles of windshield wiper fluid. Steve happens to know that the salt is near the going-in door. He happens to know that you can go in that door and make the kid at customer service ring you up. |
| 6:58
| There were two kids standing there in those weight belts, looking goofy, so Steve asked them to ring him up. It seemed like they didn't want to but they did anyway. |
| 6:59
| So Steve gives him his credit card and they want an ID. First of all, does Steve look like the kind of guy who would steal 4 bags of salt? Second, Steve's pretty recognizable, how does the kid not recognize him? Steve just wanted to get out of there though and he figured making an issue of it would be an extra 20 minutes. |
| 7:00
| The kid could tell Steve was angry so he tried to make some small talk and asked if it was snowing. What was his first clue, all the salt? It's either snowing or Steve's going to make a ton of ice cream. |
| 7:01
| It's insulting to be asked for your ID. Steve reads about Home Depot's economic problems and he's the only guy in there, spending $70. They should be having a party for him, the guy buying too much salt. |
| 7:02
| Instead he feels like a criminal. How did it get turned around on him? Steve's been through this before and he learned you don't have to show your ID if you're using your American Express, which Steve wasn't using. |
| 7:03
| Credit card fraud isn't done in person like that. Credit card fraud isn't buying 4 bags of salt and two bottles of wiper fluid. That's not even anywhere near how it's done. |
| 7:04
| Caller Andrew works at Home Depot. He's not the smart-alecky kid who hassled Steve last night is he? |
| 7:05
| With any purchase over $25, if you use a Visa or American Express, they need to match your signature to the one on the back of your card. Steve's signature is illegible on that computer screen and he doesn't sign the back of his credit card. |
| 7:06
| Home Depot's just trying to protect the customer. Steve doesn't need protection though, he's only responsible for up to $50 if his card is stolen. |
| 7:07
| If Steve's going to steal something he's going to steal something big. But he doesn't like feeling like a criminal! Steve wants to starting yelling at the kid and jump over the counter but he doesn't. |
| 7:08
| Buzz likes to see how much this bothers Steve. He doesn't take being asked for his ID to mean they think he's a criminal. |
| 7:09
| Steve would like to talk to someone who for sure knows about credit cards and checking IDs. |
| 7:10
| Steve recently had a problem at his health club where they needed an imprint of his credit card. That seems like something that could be stolen and used in credit card fraud! |
| 7:18
| Steve's not sure why showing his ID is a big deal to him but it is. Plus it has his address on it and he doesn't like |
| 7:19
| Visa rules do not preclude merchants from asking ID but they can't refuse to sell you something if you won't show it. They don't think merchants should ask for IDs though. So it's more of a philosophy than a rule. |
| 7:20
| There's also something from MSNBC if Buzz cares. He doesn't mind showing his ID but it's good to know in case he doesn't have it. According to Visa's merchant agreement merchants are not permitted to require additional identification for credit card purchases. |
| 7:21
| If you want to complain call your card issuer. They will call the store's bank and some violations of terms can get the merchant knocked off the credit card network. Steve doesn't think he could do that with Home Depot though. |
| 7:22
| But according to Visa.com if the credit card is not signed the clerk is supposed to ask for a signature. So maybe he was doing his job. |
| 7:23
| Today's web poll question is "have you ever been to Mardi Gras." Steve never has although he would have liked to go. He'd still like to go down there even though he doesn't drink. |
| 7:24
| Last year our own Stephanie went to Mardi Gras in St. Louis. He told her she'd need a U-Haul for all the beads she'd get. When she flashes you it's a 20 bead minimum. |
| 7:25
| St. Louis seems like a cold Mardi Gras to Buzz. Maybe it's not if everyone is drinking and in close proximity. Steve could call her and find out. |
| 7:26
| Stephanie was out for a day, she was sick but she's better now. They said she had some virus going around. Is it something Steve and Buzz could catch? |
| 7:27
| Stephanie went to Mardi Gras in St. Louis and it was cold and snowy. Girls still flashed people but not Stephanie. She was drinking but still no flashing. She doesn't really need to flash, she flashes wearing a sweater. Flashing might be overkill. She did well with the beads without any flashing. |
| 7:28
| Steve has an article by Jimmy Bannos about Mardi Gras. He's going to do it as Jimmy although it'll sound like Drew Peterson. Mardi Gras is a time to celebrate everything that New Orleans is. |
| 7:29
| Jimmy is from the Twin Cities, Berwyn and Cicero. He's a Chicago boy but New Orleans has a special place in his heart. |
| 7:29
| Jimmy has committed himself to bringing a piece of New Orleans to Chicago.. He'll creolize anything he can get his hands on. He once blackened Steve actually. |
| 7:30
| Jimmy has a traditional New Orleans recipe made with buttery-peppery barbecue shrimp served on sweet, cakey cornbread. That sounds too high-end for Buzz. |
| 7:31
| When Buzz goes to New Orleans he sticks with beignets or Italian food. He's most comfortable with Italian food. He should go to Italy some time. Of course he'd probably go there and eat French food. |
| 7:32
| Buzz usually prefers the low-end food. He's talking to a guy who's favorite food is Lil Smokeys in barbecue sauce. His new favorite food is Cheez-Its. There's something about that commercial where the wedge of cheese flies through the air that got him back to Cheez-Its. |
| 7:33
| Buzz just saw some animated movie where a bunch of Cheez-Its came to live and had mouths and teeth. Steve's writing a movie treatment called Cheez-Its of Nazareth. |
| 7:34
| Caller Rachel never got a chance to thank Steve for a prize she won on the wheel a few years ago. It was a trip to anywhere that a James Bond movie has filmed and she chose Hong Kong. |
| 7:35
| Rachel was calling in to tell Steve about a movement by credit card uses to sign the back of their cards "ask for ID." By not signing his card Steve's just playing into the whole thing. |
| 7:36
| OK back to the Jimmy Bannos article. Steve wouldn't mind Jimmy bringing some of this food in for Fat Tuesday next week. |
| 7:37
| In this recipe shrimps are traditional cooked in the sauce with shells and heads on, thus upping flavor. |
| 7:38
| Steve would still like to go to Mardi Gras because he thinks he could enjoy all the fun things-like the drunken girls with their tops off-without being arrested. Steve has seen enough Cops episodes to know the things you can't do. Guys who whip it out or urinate in public get arrested. Steve's not a whip-it-out guy. Guys are divided into two categories and Steve and Buzz fall into the group that doesn't whip it out. You don't want to whip it out and then have people ask "did you whip it out?" |
| 7:39
| Yesterday's web poll question was if people were aware that the Miss America pageant was on last Saturday. Steve didn't know but he was looking for something to watch on Saturday. |
| 7:40
| It'll be on again this Sunday but the Super Bowl is also on. How are you going to watch all that pageant stuff and then the game. There's also a Battlestar Galactica marathon which caught Buzz's attention. |
| 7:48
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 7:49
| Caller Kathy is recommending on Put-in-Bay, Ohio on Lake Erie. She's been there for Mardi Gras and it's crazy. There's nudity too and it's only a 4 hour drive. |
| 7:50
| Sounds perfect. Buzz can drive there and then Steve will drive back since he won't be drinking. |
| 7:51
| Kathy's going this year. Has she ever taken her top off? She took her top off one year. It's scary at first but then you get into it. |
| 7:52
| Would Kathy like to ride down there with Steve and Buzz? They could practice on the way there. |
| 7:53
| Steve doesn't know how to work Mardi Gras into his schedule. This is where a private jet would come in handy. They could be at Midway by 10:30 am and then they could hit Ohio, any other Midwest Mardi Gras celebrations, New Orleans and then back for the show the next day. |
| 7:54
| They might need a Sugar Daddy but is that something they really want to do. David Hochberg seems willing to be the Sugar Daddy but who knows what he'll want in return. |
| 7:55
| Diana Ross angered a crowd of 40,000 at a concert in Montego Bay, Jamaica. In order to honor her wishes the organizers agreed not to show her on big video screens which angered the crowd. |
| 7:56
| At the 11th hour Ross said she wouldn't go onstage if there were any cameras present. Do you want to see her, she looks like a monster. |
| 7:57
| Who even keeps employing Diana Ross? Remember at that Central Park Concert where she stood up onstage shushing people. |
| 7:58
| Steve has a video of Ross being booed in Jamaica. For $300,000 he'd let them show whatever they want onstage. He'd let his colonoscopy be broadcast up there. |
| 7:59
| It seems like if they're having a concert in Jamaica they'd want Jamaican music there but they're probably sick of it. |
| 8:00
| Steve used to perform the song Montego Bay so he knew the lyrics. They were pretty interesting once Steve learned them. |
| 8:01
| One of Jim's first jobs working here was transcribing the lyrics for that song. Steve calls down to the newsroom. |
| 8:02
| Jim had never heard the song before he worked here. Steve's looking for it on iTunes but they don't have it. Do we have it in the archive? Jim has a greeting card that plays part of it when you open the card. Steve will wait, can he go run and get it? |
| 8:03
| There is a karaoke version of Montego Bay, Steve could do it as Drew if Buzz would like. |
| 8:04
| That was one of Jim's first jobs here but he stuck it out. And now he has an even worse job. |
| 8:05
| It's time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. It's also Taco Tuesday so Steve and Buzz are enjoying some tacos. |
| 8:06
| Caller Greg wanted to let Steve know that there is a version of Montego Bay on iTunes. It seems like Steve should have it in his collection though. |
| 8:07
| Brendan has been the music librarian for the last 10 years and nothing is in order. He's not using the Dewey Decimal system or even the alphabet. |
| 8:08
| Caller Chris is really working Steve and Buzz over. Is he a salesman? Chris is actually, he sells phone systems. |
| 8:09
| Chris wanted to let Steve know that there's a local band that covers Montego Bay and their version is on iTunes. |
| 8:10
| Steve has the karaoke version and he's tempted to sing it as Drew. Chris would like to see Paul Steve interview Drew. There are so many things to do with Drew although it seems like he's jumped the shark. And Steve was the shark. |
| 8:11
| Steve called that salesman thing right away, he comes from a family of salesmen. Chris has a certain inappropriate energy. |
| 8:12
| Steve found the Bobby Bloom version of Montego Bay on YouTube. It looks like a really old music video. Bobby is in a boat going down a river and people are jumping out of the trees and singing. |
| 8:13
| Surprisingly, Bobby Bloom is white with a 70s white guy afro. |
| 8:14
| Steve has a new Drew Peterson idea that he'd like to do, it's more Drew Peterson Karaoke. He feels it'll be tough to top Bolingbrookville though. Steve wants to do third song just so Drew will say he's done three when he talks about him. 2 songs make him seem lazy. |
| 8:15
| Buzz didn't want Steve to forget about Have You Seen Her. Steve will record it today and then maybe Pete could lay down some new Drew audio, like the Fox News interview. |
| 8:16
| Steve will try a little of Montego Bay as Drew. He'll need some reverb first. |
| 8:17
| Drew missed his spot, These karaoke songs are tough to do. Maybe Stacy's in Jamaica at Hedonism II. |
| 8:18
| One of Steve's listeners saw Drew the other day. They were at Fuddrucker's in Darien. That's a very interesting burger, you make your own. Drew's very artistic so it's a chance to display his artistic flair in a burger design. |
| 8:19
| Drew was wearing a strange-looking hat, like Don Knots in the Ghost and Mr. Chicken, and his brother and father were there. Buzz is familiar with the movie but he can't think of what the hat looks like. |
| 8:20
| It looks like a fedora. That's more of an Indiana Jones hat, which Drew prefers to think of it as. Mayor Daley wears the same kind of hat. |
| 8:28
| Both Indiana Jones and Don Knots in the Ghost and Mr. Chicken wear fedoras. |
| 8:29
| At the beginning of the 19th century the fedora became popular among the upper-class. That's when Buzz started wearing it right? |
| 8:30
| Buzz has a straw fedora, a grey fedora and a black fedora. He has one for every occasion. Steve only has baseball hats. |
| 8:31
| Steve's going to put Peanut Butter on the air but he won't play his theme song yet. Steve's going to try another song out. |
| 8:32
| Drew needs to try out some new reverb. How about steam bath? Can Buzz hear the steam? Put a towel on Pat! |
| 8:33
| Buzz trusts Drew's instinct about the right reverb. He's become very broadcast savvy through all this. On Friday during the Fox interview he even knew what an IFB was. |
| 8:34
| Pat uses an IFB everyday and he doesn't even know what it stands for. That's why he never amounted to anything and why he has to interview Muhsin Muhammad, who won't even look at him. |
| 8:35
| Drew's trying to figure out where to come in on this song. This is where he needs a musicians advice. Maybe Buzz is right, he should record these things. |
| 8:36
| Drew's having some trouble figuring out where to come in on this song. He might have to get back to us. |
| 8:37
| He's trying to do She's Gone, the Hall & Oates classic. He never got to the payoff though. |
| 8:38
| Drew's going to try it one more time but that's it. If he tries again stop him. |
| 8:39
| He'll have to work on his later on, maybe after he goes to Fuddrucker's. Buzz is wondering what Drew thinks of the Fuddrucker's bun. |
| 8:40
| Drew's not prepared to make a statement on those buns. Buzz can't say if he likes them or not because he doesn't eat them that often. There is a buttery crust to the bun though. |
| 8:41
| Drew just wants to get out of the house and the burger making gives the kids something to do. Plus it gives him a chance to wear the fedora. |
| 8:42
| Buzz really just wants him to do the classic, Have You Seen Her. Where does he come in on that one? He needs to have an arranger. |
| 8:43
| Drew performs Have You Seen Her. Buzz is right, this one is genius. |
| 8:44
| Drew's favorite part is the "do do do do do do do do do" of the back-up singers. They're all Bolingbrook residents by the way. They town is fully integrated. |
| 8:46
| Pat loves Drew's interaction with the Bolingbrook glee club. They're actually called the Babbling Brooks. |
| 8:52
| That was Geraldo, editorializing again. Where does he get off? He's probably just jealous of Drew's mustache. |
| 8:53
| It's Peanut Butter Jelly time with Pat Boyle. Pat's leaving for Arizona today. He's covering the game mostly for Pro Football Weekly but also a little for Comcast. |
| 8:54
| Pat will call in to the show as well and give some reports. There are already some interesting proposition bets popping up. Does Steve does squares when he watches the game? |
| 8:55
| Steve's not sure what he's doing for the game, probably just watching it at his house. The boys might come over. There aren't enough people to do squares plus the boys never have money on them anyway. |
| 8:56
| Some of the bets that are popping up include who the Super Bowl MVP will thank first after the game, what Tom Petty's last song will be during the Halftime and what color Gatorade will be dumped on the winning coach. |
| 8:57
| The Tom Petty bet seems dangerous, someone has to know the answer to that. Steve's going to let it ride on orange Gatorade though. He's never seen any other color. |
| 8:58
| Tickets for the game are going for as high at $19,000 on Stub Hub, it's one of the most expensive Super Bowls ever. DIdn't Steve get offered crazy money for his tickets? |
| 8:59
| Steve got offered money by a group of guys to have sex with them but he didn't. He also got some crazy offer for the tickets. Turns out that was probably the way to go. |
| 9:00
| One of these days the Super Bowl story will be funny but it hasn't happen yet. Tragedy plus a lot of time equals funny in this case. It seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime thing being in Florida and the boys coming with. |
| 9:01
| The Bulls play the Timberwolves tonight, they're the worst team in the NBA. That doesn't mean the Bulls will win though. |
| 9:02
| The Hawks get ready to commit to the Indian tomorrow, they're going on a 3 week road trip. The NHL might want to get a computer to do their scheduling. They were at home for 13 of 14 games and now they're on the road for 17 games?! |
| 9:03
| News with Buzz |
| 9:04
| All eyes are on Florida today for the primaries. So far it seems like Romney and McCain are neck-and-neck while Giuliani is a distant third. Rudy said his campaign's strategy was to win Florida and go from there. |
| 9:05
| The Grammy's are on after the WGA cut a deal to allow it's writers to work on the show. |
| 9:06
| Britney Spears will be allowed to talk to her children on the phone but she can't see them. What about a videophone? Her legal team is probably working out that wrinkle now. She probably doesn't have a videophone or a legal team. |
| 9:07
| There's a theory that Heath Ledger may have died of natural causes. It's believed that he was on so many prescription drugs that it caused heart failure. |
| 9:08
| Tony Rezko's bond has been revoked after judge Amy St. Eve determined he was a flight risk. |
| 9:09
| Rezko received a wire transfer from Iraq for $3.5 million. You can't be too bright if you think no one is going to notice money coming to you from Iraq. |
| 9:10
| Steve can't figure out why any politicians would get involved with this guy since it seems like everything he touched failed. |
| 9:11
| All his Papa John's franchises failed. Now the one by Steve is a Domino's. Domino's has a new feature where you can track your pizza from conception to delivery. |
| 9:12
| A German travel agency is offering nudists the chance to shed their clothes on the airplane. The agency will begin offering nudist day trips from Eastern German to a popular Baltic sea resort. Nudism was banned by the Nazis but is making a comeback. It must just be a charter plane, it's not like they're on Lufthansa. Anyone could charter a plane and get naked on it, that's what Steve does. Sure it's a little Cessna and the pilot freaks out but what does Steve care? |
| 9:13
| A scientist has found a way to pay tribute to the late Roy Orbison by naming a new species of beetle after him. |
| 9:21
| Ben Gay is here with sports. Buzz hopes he's prepared for the cold snap, he comes in here with those crazy shorts on. |
| 9:22
| Ben's shorts have legs that can zipper on to them so he's prepared. He carries the legs in his messenger bag, would Buzz like him to put them on? |
| 9:23
| The Bulls wrap up a 4 game homestand against the Timberwolves tonight at the United Center. |
| 9:24
| The Blackhawks have recalled two players from the Rockford Ice Hogs for their 17 game road trip which begins tomorrow. |
| 9:25
| This road trip for the Bulls and the Hawks is for the ice show, like the circus road trip. So they do have computer scheduling but apparently an ice show is more important. |
| 9:26
| If Ben were a Bull or a Blackhawk that could be why he didn't play as hard as he usually did. And Ben loves a good ice show! |
| 9:27
| The White Sox traded fireballer David Aardsma to the Red Sox for two minor leaguers. |
| 9:28
| Tom Brady wants to win another Super Bowl. He's won 3 already and he has more fingers left. He's collecting rings and out-of-wedlock kids. |
| 9:29
| Some of the New York Giants have caught the flu bug. Aaron Ross got sick on the plane and caused a delay of an hour as they cleaned up the mess. If you've ever gotten sick on a plane it usually causes other people to get sick. |
| 9:30
| The Phoenix Suns are making plans to play a game outdoors in 2010. So they're just copying hockey? |
| 9:32
| Alright well there you go, Ben Gay with some exciting sports. |
| 9:33
| Steve used to use that BoDog.com but all those gambling sites give him the willies. They ask for way too much information about you and they're all offshore. |
| 9:34
| Steve saw the BoDog guy in a mansion in Brazil made of endangered wood with women everywhere. That was built on Steve's money! |
| 9:35
| Steve was going to check out some of the proposition bets on BoDog.com but he can't seem to get to their site. |
| 9:43
| Steve likes Two and a Half Men but you only pay the vig on a bet that you lose. Except in Vegas where they work that all in. |
| 9:44
| With any sort of private betting they charge you a vig when you lose. The loser is charged 10% |
| 9:45
| Caller Steve wanted to alert Steve to a commercial that just aired for protecting your identity, Live Lock. Steve looked into that over the weekend, it seemed complicated. |
| 9:46
| Steve has some help for BoDog.com. They had some legal problems last year so now it's BoDogLife.com. |
| 9:47
| Today is Media Day at the Super Bowl and what a difference a year makes. Last year Steve, Brendan and Dan Falato were all down in Miami covering the game. |
| 9:48
| Steve was at his condo and Brendan and Dan were at Media Day with Les Grobstein. Les knows the ropes at those things because he always has media credentials, some how. |
| 9:49
| Dan didn't come along because he had some errands to run. That was the day he was supposed to pick up Steve's credentials and meet him somewhere but he never showed up. |
| 9:50
| Steve has some audio from Brendan at Media Day but it's from the show, not raw audio. |
| 9:51
| Brendan was at a press conference with Sean Payton. He asked him a question and then Brendan recorded over the answer checking his mic. |
| 9:52
| Brendan also talked to Olin Kreutz, he's not a good guy to talk to. Brendan asked him if Roberto Garza was a ladies man and he stopped everything and looked at Brendan. |
| 9:53
| Just for the record Steve would have never put Brendan up to that, he could have been killed. |
| 9:54
| Brendan also got Colts back-up QB Jim Sorgi to give Buzz a shout-out. Then he talked to Lance Briggs. Didn't Brendan give him the idea to get a Lamborghini? |
| 9:55
| He also talked to Peyton Manning who was telling a story about how at one Pro Bowl, when his dad was there, Walter Payton took him out on a Hobie Cat. Everyone was worried because they thought he was missing. |
| 9:56
| At some point during that week Steve, Tom Thayer and Brendan were at Tony SIragusa's party. There was some sort of charity attached to it but it was just a bunch of Hooters girls at a hotel. |
| 9:57
| Tony kept sending some guy over to talk about the charity. He also sent over Hooters girls who have nothing to say. They weren't that hot either. Hooters girls usually aren't hot, it's a misconception. |
| 9:58
| Steve did take his boys and Brendan to Hooters that weekend. That's where Pat Dahl ordered up 50 wings, totally blocking everyone else. Pat always blocks everyone at the table. If he can't have it, no one will. He also ordered 6 cups of ranch dressing. Mike, Matt and Brendan had no chance with her. |
| 9:59
| Then Steve and his boys had dinner at Morton's with his friend Shu. Steve had a dinner miscarriage on the way to the Penthouse party which they couldn't get into. |
| 10:00
| Brendan didn't even get to go to the game, he was back in Chicago that Sunday. As it turns out the Super Bowl isn't really for fans of the teams playing the game. |
| 10:01
| If you're a hardcore fan of a team it's really hard to feel like you're watching a normal game and not a circus. Plus the whole celebrity thing takes over. |
| 10:02
| Of course if the Bears had won Steve would be saying it was the greatest fan experience ever. It started off great with the Hester return and the Thomas run. Then the rains came and washed all of daddy's crops away. |
