| It always sounds like Robert Plant is working through some constipation on D'yer Mak'er. Eat some prunes! It's either constipation or sex. Planty seems like a screamer during sex. |
| 5:33
| Steve actually met Robert Plant once and heard him refer to himself as Planty. "Planty wants a muffin!" |
| 5:34
| This is the point of the show when Steve talks about the song. Steve wants to become the next Casey Kasem plus it's a great time waster. |
| 5:35
| Steve likes to play some songs during the show but every other day he has a Steve Miller Band song. The station only plays 5 Steve Miller Band songs! |
| 5:36
| Steve will have to talk to Todd about that. They're both jokers though and Steve is a gangster of love. He's not a midnight toker but he really likes Buzz's peaches and wants to shake his trees. |
| 5:37
| D'yer Mak'er, intended to be pronounced "jah-may-kah", is a song from Zeppelin's 1973 Houses of the Holy. The song was meant to imitate reggae and is one of the few Zeppelin songs where all 4 members share the composer credit. Because a monkey could have written it. |
| 5:38
| The name of the song comes from a play on the words Jamaica and "did you make her". It's funny to think of Led Zeppelin taking to each other like that since the groupies were probably lined up outside their doors. |
| 5:39
| It's based on the old joke "my wife's on vacation in the West Indies" "Jamaica?" "No, she went of her own accord." Buzz tells a lot of jokes like that, he might want to add this one. They're pretty much his stock and trade. |
| 5:40
| Yesterday the show started with Information Society which Steve still claims he's never heard. Todd Cavanah brought in a copy of the Billboard charts for that song which did very well. It couldn't have been more popular in 1988. |
| 5:41
| Steve's wondering where he was when that song was popular. He didn't really like that kind of music anyway but the kids do. Maybe if he didn't complain about stuff like Information Society he wouldn't get Steve Miller every other day. |
| 5:42
| Steve likes a few Steve Miller Band songs though. His first concert, at the Rose Palace, was Steve Miller Band opening for Iron Maiden. |
| 5:43
| The Rose Palace is where they make the Rose Bowl floats. They laid down that really cheap fake grass and people sat down on it. The light show was done by a company called Thomas Edison. |
| 5:44
| Then Steve went home and had his own light show. Steve was also in a band but a light show seemed more pragmatic since everyone in a band had one. |
| 5:45
| Steve had a light show business, Spectrum Lighting. He even had business cards. You can see the entrepreneurial spirit of Steve at an early time because when his band played he hired Spectrum to do the light show. |
| 5:46
| Plus the light show was a way to still look cool when you were at a school dance. |
| 5:47
| Thomas Edison sold a lot of the supplies for the light shows. Steve rented a strobe light from some college kids and then he got himself a kaleidoscopic projector from Edmund Scientific. |
| 5:48
| One thing Steve did, which he's seen in other light shows, is to take an unexposed roll of film, get it developed and then scratch up the negatives. Then he'd color in the scratches with markers and project that. |
| 5:49
| There was a competing light show at Steve's school, they were almost like gangs. Steve can't remember their name though. |
| 5:50
| On Steve's 15th birthday he went to see James Gang open for Steve Miller Band. That would also be Joe Walsh's birthday. |
| 5:51
| Steve's sensing that Buzz needs to clear his throat, do we need a double clearing? Steve got an email from a guy who says he can't help clearing his throat during the double clear. It's more contagious than a yawn. |
| 5:52
| It has to be if you're driving or listening at home, or perhaps you're a girl naked in the shower. There's a part of Steve that wants to figure out a way to get pictures of that but how does he do it without getting in trouble and sounding like Opie & Anthony? |
| 5:53
| Right now there are girls listening to the show and taking a shower. It's a scary though to Buzz just because of the trouble they could get into. What about Steve and Buzz soap-on-a-rope? Of course Steve's soap would be a better value, more soap for your money. |
| 5:57
| Tyrone's checking in with some traffic. Everything is fine but there is some black ice. Yesterday they said the storm was going to hit in the afternoon but it didn't hit until later. |
| 5:58
| It didn't seem so bad either when it did hit. It was blowing and swirling and crystally, like being in a big bag of nicely cooked meth. It is cold out though, really cold. |
| 5:59
| Some of the side roads is bad and then ramps are frozen so be careful out there. You could probably use the railings as a bumper-car type thing if you have a low deductible. |
| 6:00
| Tyrone's choptater is an older model with a big glass bubble. Remember that TV show Whirlybirds? It's like that. So Tyrone has a lot of defrosting problems when the weather is like this. |
| 6:01
| Tyrone's keeping warm in his dog fur coat. He killed all the barking dogs in the neighborhood because they were keeping him up at night. Then he made a coat out of them. He used different dogs, a pit bull, a Rottweiler. The collar is made of chihuahua. |
| 6:02
| That's about all for now. Tyrone needs to get his rag and clean off in the inside of the choptater, all this talking has frosted it up again. |
| 6:03
| The 2008 Presidential campaign of Rudy Giuliani appears to be over. He placed a distant third in Florida behind John McCain and Mitt Romney. |
| 6:04
| Barack Obama's campaign says that all donations connected to Tony Rezko have been donated to charity. Doesn't Rezko look like the Middle Eastern Dr. Phil? |
| 6:05
| Steve knows Rezko doesn't talk with an accent but his Middle Eastern Dr. Phil is right on. |
| 6:06
| Randy Salerno will be laid to rest today. He died last week in a snowmobiling accident and his friend was charged with homicide by intoxicated use of vehicle. |
| 6:07
| They didn't waste with that charge. It's Wisconsin too, they're trying to crack down on that stuff up there. It seems like the whole point of snowmobiling is going from bar to bar. Up there all the trails lead to bars. |
| 6:08
| Steve would like to once again point out the WCKG curse. Terry Armour and Randy Salerno were both part of the on-air staff when WCKG changed formats. Buzz mentions Pete McMurray. |
| 6:09
| Steve was talking about death although Pete McMurray is probably dead to Buzz. Steve thinks he might be dead to Pete. He saw him over the hiatus in the parking garage and Steve didn't have time to stop and talk to him. |
| 6:10
| Patriots fans are concerned after Boston mayor Thomas Menino announced plans for a team parade next Tuesday. They're worried he's jinxing them. |
| 6:11
| You have to start planning the parade early but you don't have to announce it. When the Sox won they were planning it beforehand but they didn't announce until after they won. Word spreads quick though, there are a few million people in the area. |
| 6:12
| Meanwhile Tom Brady had to hold back laughter at Media Day yesterday when a reporter from Mexico asked him to marry her. You can see Brady realizing what he's saying and not wanting to violate his own guy code. |
| 6:13
| Today is the 75th anniversary of the day Hitler's regime rose to power in Germany. Who's keeping track of that, it's illegal to be a Nazi in Germany. |
| 6:14
| In Rio a carnival float with figures of dead bodies commemorating the Holocaust is causing a stir. A local Jewish group is protesting the float. |
| 6:15
| Aren't there supposed to be a lot of Nazis in Brazil or Argentina? The Nazis brought the Brazilian wax to Brazil because it's basically just a Hitler mustache. |
| 6:16
| That's their contribution, they tried to bring something good to society. It's basically just a Hitler mustache down there. |
| 6:22
| Live read: Pro Flowers |
| 6:23
| That reporter in the wedding dress, asking Tom Brady to marry her, was at Media Day last year. Her name is Inez Gomez and she's on Azteca TV. |
| 6:24
| Apparently down in Mexico women are on TV just because they're hot and they drop the pretense of journalism. Here most of the women are on TV because they're hot but they don't drop the journalism pretense. |
| 6:25
| Gomez might not be the next Mrs. Tom Brady but she could be the next woman knocked up by him. |
| 6:26
| Gomez looks much better in a bikini than she does in a wedding dresses. Wedding dresses aren't that hot looking though. |
| 6:27
| Time for today's web poll question. Yesterday's question was "have you ever been to Mardi Gras" and Steve has not. Yesterday that woman called in to tell him about Put-in-Bay, Ohio, which has a big Mardi Gras celebration. The woman made it seem like it was Puttin Bay but Steve got a lot of email corrections. Buzz thought it was Russian, like Putin. |
| 6:28
| Steve would like to go to Mardi Gras or maybe he could just have his own Mardi Gras celebration here. Heaven on Seven is bringing food in but Steve would like to have the party on the 9th floor. |
| 6:29
| Steve doesn't want to see anyone from the 11th floor with their tops off. |
| 6:30
| Buzz saw Eddie, of Eddie and Jobo at the movies on Sunday. He emerged from the theater with his sunglasses on. It wasn't that sunny on Sunday was it? Plus he was in a movie theater. |
| 6:31
| 93% of the people yesterday have never been to Mardi Gras. Steve's never been but he thinks he could go and not get in trouble. He's seen enough Cops episodes to know what you can't do. |
| 6:32
| As Steve mentioned yesterday he's not a whip-it-out guy and any public urination is done discreetly. You also have to watch with your solicitation but you shouldn't even have to do that during Mardi Gras. |
| 6:33
| Danny Bonaduce was a whip-it-out guy. He'd do it at office Christmas parties! Say hello to my North Pole. |
| 6:34
| The web poll question for today is "do you act out when you don't get your way?" A volunteer at an Austin community radio station set the building on fire after his playlist was changed. |
| 6:35
| That sounds like something a Pete Zimmerman would do. He's tried to set the building on fire several times but we've taken away all combustibles from him. He really shouldn't even have that percolator. |
| 6:36
| Pete's like a prisoner on good behavior and he get a percolator. All he's missing is a hot plate in there. If there was a toilet/sink combo he'd probably live in there. There wouldn't be a shower so he'd have to take a whore's bath. |
| 6:37
| Paul Webster Feinstein was charged with second-degree felony arson. He could face between 2 and 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. It seems like if you're facing 20 years in prison the fine isn't that big of a deal. |
| 6:38
| The president of KOOP said that Feinstein had a dispute with another volunteer over what kind of music should be put in a digital library for his internet program. It's just on the internet?! |
| 6:39
| Feinstein told investigators that he made a copy of a key to the station after he quit and then went in after everyone had left. |
| 6:40
| He poured gasoline on the control panels in two different studios. Buzz thinks that's a dream of a lot of people in radio. |
| 6:41
| The fire didn't spread because it ran out of fuel. That's probably because it's hard to get metal to keep burning. |
| 6:42
| In January of 2006 a fire at the station's old home caused $600,000. A month later another fire destroyed the entire building. |
| 6:43
| All station volunteers receive 6 months of training. They don't even have that here and we're professionals. |
| 6:44
| That guy wasn't even a DJ, he was on overnights on an internet station too. Steve would snap too, they wouldn't let him play what he wanted on an internet station! |
| 6:50

| 6:51
| Song: Come as You Are, Nirvana |
| 6:55
| Turns out Kurt Cobain did have a gun. The other day Steve thought up the suicide shotgun for rock stars. It has a long barrel with a pedal operated trigger. |
| 6:56
| The funny thing for Buzz was the email Steve sent out later that day asking the show staff if they remembered what he invented. |
| 6:57
| Steve went back in the show log and tried to look for it but couldn't find it. Jim didn't even remember what it was and he's the one doing the show log. |
| 6:58
| Steve calls down to the newsroom. Jim remembered what the invention was and emailed Steve back. He had initially left out the word "invention" in the log which is what Steve was searching for. That's a key word though. |
| 6:59
| Are all the show logs that crummy because if they are Jim can stop doing them. This is the only time Steve needed to find something in the log and he couldn't. |
| 7:00
| Jim says not all the logs are as crummy, he just missed that word. Is Jim logging this now? He doesn't like to log if he's on the phone because the keystrokes are probably distracting. |
| 7:01
| Steve doesn't mind the keystrokes, it's sort of like talking to a reporter. Whenever you talk to a reporter over the phone they're typing everything you say. It is sort of distracting if you're being interviewed, that's why Steve does interviews via email. |
| 7:02
| Steve has another invention he's working on. They're coming one-a-day now. Steve likes to eat ice cream, he loves it. Most pints of ice cream are a thousand calories, best case scenario. A lot of times Steve will start to eat a pint and then halfway through he'll stop. He's too lazy to take it back downstairs and he doesn't want to waste it. SInce he's addicted to it he tends to hoard. Just yesterday he took delivery on 12 pints from Graeter's. |
| 7:03
| That's the best ice cream in the world. Maybe if Buzz was nice Steve would share some. Buzz's favorite is vanilla chocolate chip from Haagen-Daaz, handpacked of course. There's a difference. Steve would blow Buzz's mind with Graeter's but he's not sharing it. He's going to start playing hard-to-get with his emotions, he's emotionally unavailable to Buzz. |
| 7:04
| Steve got into some ice cream hoarding recently. Matt Dahl and his girlfriend were out at the house for the AFC/NFC championship games and they ate the last of Steve's favorite flavor, black cherry and mixed it with some coconut chocolate chip. |
| 7:05
| The other night Steve ate the rest of the pint of coconut chocolate chip ice cream. It was about half a pint and when he reached the bottom he felt very satisfied. So his invention is a pint of ice cream only half full. There's something satisfying about your spoon scraping the bottom, like planting your flag on top of a mountain. |
| 7:06
| Stores probably wouldn't sell ice cream pints that are half full, that takes up a lot of shelf space. Steve could buy a pint and throw out half but he has a hard time doing that. |
| 7:07
| Bill Barry from the March of Dimes is on the phone. Steve's hosting the Comcast Sports Awards on February 11th at the Chicago Hilton and Towers. |
| 7:08
| The reception starts at 5 pm, dinner is at 6 and then the live broadcast starts at 7:30 pm. Maybe Buzz could be the voiceover announcer, he's looking to get into that kind of work. |
| 7:09
| Buzz is wondering if Steve will wear a tux. He might go suit but he has both in his closet. Past emcees have worn suits but Steve is free to do what he wants. The other option is the more casual Tommy Bahama shirt, that's more in keeping with the Steve Dahl look. Buzz suggests a Tommy Bahama shirt with a suit. Is that something you can do? Buzz has been reading Men's Health on a monthly basis, that's the happening look. Steve will need to see that issue, he can see Buzz setting him up and then mocking him to his family. |
| 7:10
| Jim Thome will be the honoree from the Sox, Ted Lilly from the Cubs. Andre Dawson is getting a lifetime achievement award, he was the first honoree for the Cubs 20 years ago. |
| 7:11
| Steve has some ideas for the show and he's been working with Mike Lieder who's producing the show. Nothing too crazy though. It's Jerry Reinsdorf's charity and Steve wouldn't want to say anything that would cost him his seats. |
| 7:21
| Steve got his first two Netflix movies yesterday, One False Move and Outing Riley. Steve's not sure if we have the audio from that so he brought it in for Pete. |
| 7:22
| Steve doesn't really want to see himself in Outing Riley though but he's willing to offer himself up if Pete wants to grab the audio. |
| 7:23
| Steve's goal is to just crank through the movies and not get behind. If he can't watch it the day he gets it he sends it back. He might have accidentally upgraded to the unlimited plan. |
| 7:24
| Once Pete is done grabbing the audio could he send it back? It's already in the envelope ready to be sent back so it's off Steve's plate. |
| 7:25
| Buzz wouldn't mind taking a look at Outing Riley before Pete sends it back. Pete will just grab the audio when Buzz is done with it. It seems like Buzz is the weak link here. |
| 7:26
| So now it's Pete's responsibility to get the DVD back from Buzz. The envelope seems to have some chocolate on it, is there some chocolate-eating going on up in the office? Oh wait, that was Steve actually. |
| 7:27
| Before Steve takes some phone calls Tyrone has a quick traffic report. Tyrone wants to know why he has to be quick?! Why is he quick?! It is a face-paced morning show, he'll be quick. |
| 7:28
| The roads aren't too bad because the snow hit late last night. It's still cold and icy though. There's an overturned semi on I-80 westbound near LaGrange road. This show has truck driver listeners, how do we sound upside down? |
| 7:29
| That's all Tyrone has right now that's bad. It's very cold out though so wear a coat. That's what they tell you on the news, wear a coat. Everyone knows that but they say it on TV. |
| 7:30
| Does Buzz watch CBS news? Tyrone thinks that Steve Baskerville is wearing a toupee. Buzz seems to be the expert on that. |
| 7:31
| Caller Tim wanted to recommend the Graeter's chocolate chip to Buzz. Steve would like to go back and recap the whole ice cream thing. |
| 7:32
| Before talking to the March of Dimes guy Steve mentioned another new invention he came up with, after the suicide shotgun for rock stars. |
| 7:33
| Steve's invention is a pint of ice cream that's only half full. Steve recently took shipment of 12 pints of Graeter's in Cincinnati. |
| 7:34
| That's where Tim from Bolingbrook comes in. How close is he to Drew Peterson? Tim's daughter goes to school with Drew's son so that's pretty close. Does Drew know Tim? |
| 7:35
| Tim's never been pulled over by Drew but he may have seen him at the Meijer's. |
| 7:36
| Drew's trying to get on that Fox show where they hook you up to a lie detector and then you ruin your life for small amounts of money. |
| 7:37
| Tim lived in Cincy for 7 long years and the Graeter's was the best thing about being there. Maybe the chocolate on Steve's Netflix envelope is from the giant chocolate chunks they have in Graeter's ice cream. |
| 7:38
| Those are big hunks of chocolate but Steve didn't have any yesterday. Steve' took shipment of two raspberry chocolate pints, two butter pecan, two coconut chocolate chip and 6 black cherry. YEAH! |
| 7:39
| Steve tries to steer people clear of the black cherry, he says it's no good. He also does that for the pistachio. |
| 7:40
| WBBM-AM is reporting that Joel Brodsky called and said the Moment of Truth report from Fox News is completely false. |
| 7:41
| TMZ.com first reported that Drew's lawyers asked the show's producers to administer a lie-detector test to their client on national TV. |
| 7:42
| It's not all love notes from anonymous women for Drew though, he received a racist death threat over the weekend when his family was away. Buzz wants to know where the family went. |
| 7:43
| Drew hasn't read the whole article yet so he doesn't know, plus he's busy translating it into first person from third. |
| 7:44
| Drew's lawyer, Freckle Face Strawberry, feels that someone who would write this letter would try to kill Drew. Drew's not afraid though. |
| 7:45
| Would someone wearing that bandana and those sunglasses be afraid? Remember when he was riding his bike over the curb. It looked like it was going to crash but did he look scared? No. |
| 7:46
| The letter writer was apparently angry that Drew was boasting about meeting women in a bar and getting letters from a woman named Ashley. It sounds like someone trying to block Drew. What is he supposed to do, he's been alone for months. |
| 7:47
| The letter writer said that the only romance Drew would be getting would be in prison. Who says he's going to prison? Plus would Drew let anyone up on him in prison? |
| 7:48
| The letter writer goes on to suggest that maybe these women who are approaching Drew want to give him a taste of their own medicine. What if they want to do a Lorena Bobbitt? OUCH! |
| 7:49
| Meanwhile the woman known as Ashley was reluctant to reveal why she reached out to Drew. How'd they track her down?! |
| 7:50
| Brodsky said the letter writer would be wise to stay away from his client who is a karate expert. Now we know he's a karate expert too. |
| 7:57
| The ladies on The View were talking about the Drew Peterson dating game. Yah! |
| 7:58
| Bob and Ron are here. They can't believe it was only a week ago that Drew called in. They're still blown away by it. It was a week ago, they need to move on. This is why they never amount to anything. |
| 7:59
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 8:00
| Bob can't believe it was only a week ago, it seems like so much longer. Maybe because there was so much coverage. Bob has a reality TV show pitch for Steve's entertainment wing that involves Drew. |
| 8:01
| Steve's going to pass on that although he wouldn't mind casting Drew in a remake of Billy Jack. |
| 8:02
| It's Ron's birthday this week so he knows all the music birthday's. He shares a birthday with Terry Kath of Chicago. Kath accidentally shot himself with a gun he didn't think was loaded. |
| 8:03
| That seemed to happen a lot in the 70's, isn't that how Freddie Prinze died? Steve's never accidentally pointed a gun at himself. |
| 8:04
| This week also marks the anniversary of the last public performance of The Beatles, on the rooftop of Apple Records. Luckily they had cameras filming it all. That was pretty cool though. |
| 8:05
| U2 tried to duplicate that in one of their videos but they actually called the cops on themselves. |
| 8:06
| It's also Steve Marriott's birthday this week, he was in Small Faces and Humble Pie. Steve's a big Humble Pie fan. |
| 8:07
| Steve forgot to mention last week that John Stewart died. He was Steve's first radio interview and he was very nervous because he was a big fan. Plus it was a taped interview, not live. When you're live there's a certain adrenaline that keeps you going. |
| 8:08
| When Steve worked at that station they got copies of every album that came out. Everyone at the station got a copy and then sold them to used record stores. It said "promo copy" but no one cared. |
| 8:09
| Steve was in charge of handing out the records and he got about 50 copies of each one. There were only 13 people at the station so Steve made a small fortune. He's still living on that money. |
| 8:10
| One of the things Steve talked to John Stewart about was Humble Pie, their new album had just come out. Maybe Pete will play the interview as a rejoin. |
| 8:11
| Steve also interviewed John Stewart on the Rt. 66 trip. Ron remembers that the trip ended at Del Rey's Chicken basket. Could Steve get creative license on his own show, would that be possible Ron? |
| 8:12
| Some how Bob and Ron only remember the things you don't want to talk about. Rt. 66 ends at the Art Institute but they wouldn't let Steve do a remote from there. |
| 8:13
| Song: Stone Cold Fever, Humble Pie |
| 8:16
| So it's Steve Marriott's birthday this week, he went out to open up the hotel chain. Marriott was in Small Faces but then was replaced by Rod Stewart and they became Faces. |
| 8:17
| Also in Humble PIe though was Peter Frampton. He's in a new Geico commercial, that's the best Buzz has heard him sound in years. |
| 8:23
| That's Steve interviewing John Stewart. John asked Steve how much he got for selling the records, Steve thought he was talking about money but John was asking him how much time he could get in jail for doing it. You can tell Steve was nervous but John was really cool about it. |
| 8:24
| John wrote Daydream Believer, Steve's going to play his version right after he does this. |
| 8:25
| It's time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. It's Sauce Packet Wednesday although Buzz usually has trouble containing his packet talk to just one day. |
| 8:26
| Of course when Steve and Buzz need sauce packets they don't have any. Mary's telling Steve to make up his own. How about "As Paris HIlton would say, that's hot" |
| 8:27
| Steve's still looking for Daydream Believer. For Buzz the Monkees only had three hits and Daydream Believer was one of them. Steve thinks it's their best. |
| 8:28
| Song: Daydream Believer, John Stewart |
| 8:31
| John Stewart goofs around at the end there. When you have a song that's as successful as that song was you have to do something to deface it when you record your own version. |
| 8:32
| That's sort of something Jimmy Buffett does at the end of his songs. Maybe he drew inspiration from John. John was in the Kingston Trio but he wasn't an original member. He replaced someone. |
| 8:33
| Steve has another sauce packet idea to run by Buzz. How about "someone call a sports therapist, I think I tore my tortilla." That might be too long but Buzz likes it. Can't he shorten it up? |
| 8:34
| How about "A torn tortilla is not a sports injury." That might not be something they'd want on a sauce packet. |
| 8:35
| News with Buzz |
| 8:36
| This just in, John Edwards is expected to announce that he's dropping out of the Presidential race. He finished third in the state where he was born and now the question is who will he throw his support behind. Steve's money is on Obama. |
| 8:37
| The field has thinned out for the Republicans as well as Rudy Giuliani finished third in Florida. Mitt Romney finished second and possibly suggested he'd be open to a VP nominee from McCain. |
| 8:38
| McCain said he doesn't understand the economy but Romney does. Romney has a ton of money. He has a mittload of money. Steve doesn't trust anyone who'd put up that much of their own money to become President. What is missing in your life? |
| 8:39
| The Blackhawks will not adopted "Commit to the Indian" as their new slogan. Probably because it's not PC. |
| 8:40
| Pat Dahl was actually selling "Commit to the Indian" t-shirts online. Steve told him to be proactive about that and contact John McDonough since he was using the Blackhawk feathers. |
| 8:41
| Pat's going to donate all the money he made from the shirts to charity. Independent of knowing that Pat Dahl was making the shirts Jim kid ordered one. |
| 8:42
| The only daughter of Harry Truman died in Chicago yesterday. She was a mystery novelist who's attempt at a singing career lead Truman to threaten a critic who wrote an unkind review of her. |
| 8:43
| Representatives for Drew Peterson, and there's only one (Freckle Face Strawberry), have denied reports that he requested to appear on the Fox network's Moment of Truth. |
| 8:44
| A simple expression of love between two South Carolina teenagers have landed them an expulsion. Dominique Goyner and his girlfriend were caught kissing on a bus surveillance camera. You can't kiss? |
| 8:45
| Ron Lewis, account to the stars and folky, wanted Buzz to know that John Stewart replaced the founding member of the Kingston Trio. |
| 8:46
| Ron was all over the John Stewart thing, Steve got several emails about it. As if he doesn't have internet access. |
| 8:47
| Ron already paid tribute to John on his Sunday morning folk show on WNUR, Northwestern's radio station. |
| 8:48
| Going back to Daydream Believer for a second, in the original version Stewart wrote the line was "now you know how funky I can be." But the record company wouldn't let the Monkees say "funky" so they had to switch it to "happy". |
| 8:49
| Even though it was in the 60s Buzz thinks it's the 50s. How can the 60s be the 50s? He just means it was the 50s mentality, before the revolution of the 60s. |
| 8:56
| Pete ended the drop from Ron Lewis' folk show just as Steve was becoming hypnotized. Did he cut it off because Ron was saying something mean about Steve? |
| 8:57
| Ron was just about to start promoting a Dahlfins gig which already happened so Pete didn't want to confuse people. Or he could have left it on and started to build a buzz. |
| 8:58
| Ron could market his show as a sleep aid, his sing-songy delivery could put people to sleep. Buzz has a similar experience with the guy who takes his weekly pizza order. |
| 8:59
| It's Peanut Butter Jelly time with Comcast's Pat Boyle. He's out in Arizona for Super Bowl XXLII. |
| 9:00
| Pat made it out alright but Steve wasn't sure if he would be. They didn't start canceling flights until later in the afternoon. |
| 9:01
| Pat is not staying at either team hotel, he's staying fair and balanced. He's at the Courtyard Marriott so at least he has a free breakfast. |
| 9:02
| Pat did not get a free breakfast but they did have free coffee. Was it watered down? |
| 9:03
| How about some Guess the Room Service? There's a full buffet on the menu, comes with everything. Steve's going to say $8.95. He needs to go higher. |
| 9:04
| Steve feels he should be started with a much simpler item, this is just Pat trying to cheat to win. How about two eggs and bacon? Something even simpler, how about orange juice. |
| 9:05
| There's nothing simpler. Steve's going to say $14 for the eggs and bacon. It's actually much lower than that. How about $8? It's $7.95. How much more is the buffet then? |
| 9:06
| The buffet is 10.95. That's too much for a Courtyard by Marriott. Steve has to instruct Pat to not waste his money. Chef Hans thinks it's underpriced. |
| 9:07
| Why did Steve see a Patriot in red shoes at the Media Day yesterday? Is that just some of the crazy stuff that goes on at Media Day? Like the girl in the wedding dress. Does Pat look down on her because she's not a real reporter? |
| 9:08
| There were probably two Patriots front office people over to talk to that girl like Van Halen roadies. |
| 9:09
| Pat wasn't sure about the red shoes, he thought it was a Giants player though. That was actually Kelly Washington from the Patriots. |
| 9:10
| Kelly Pickler, from American Idol, was at Media Day as a correspondent for the Tonight's Show. She asked Washington to try on a pair of red high heels. |
| 9:11
| Everything begins to build today with the wackiness surrounding the Super Bowl. All the celebs will start arriving today. Pat actually saw Coach last night, he was at the Hyatt. |
| 9:12
| Buzz is wondering who Coach was out on the town with. He's drifting very close to a guy code violation. What happens in Scottsdale stays in Scottsdale. Pat was out meeting some of his ESPN friends. |
| 9:13
| Mary told Steve to ask Pat how many shoes he packed for the trip. He only has two pairs, he's not sure why Mary had him ask that. Maybe Pat can call Mary and they can talk shoes. |
| 9:14
| Mary's point might have been that the ESPN guys bring a lot of clothing on these trips, they seem very fashion-conscious. Maybe that's why Pat didn't make it at ESPN, he didn't have the wardrobe. |
| 9:15
| Pat brought more clothing to Miami last year but that's because they were doing several different shows a day. |
| 9:16
| Pat has been informed by Danimal that they're going out tonight. Leave the wedding rings at home. Does that involve a strip club? Is this a guy code violation? |
| 9:17
| Pat should get himself a pair of desert boots when he's out there. That and an America's greatest hits CD is all he needs. |
| 9:18
| Steve is going to loosen Pat up if it kills him or Pat. He should get some desert boots though. Steve tried to order some desert boots online a few years ago but he got dessert boots made of chocolate. |
| 9:26
| Kelly Pickler's thing is an act right? |
| 9:27
| Dunkin' Donuts brought in some dark roast coffee and donuts. Adam was told to give Steve a little bit of coffee and he put in about an inch at the bottom of a 12 ounce cup. |
| 9:28
| That's sort of like Steve's idea for the pint of ice cream. It's good though. |
| 9:29
| Chef Hans is here for Meat Talk, how many pairs of shoes did he bring? Hans actually had to walk here, he couldn't find a cab. |
| 9:30
| That's a three block walk but it probably feels lower when it's -25º with the wind chill. Next time Hans should call and we'll send someone over. |
| 9:31
| Steve's not sure who we'd send over since only he and Mary have cars that they use everyday. Everyone else uses public transportation. Steve considers a cab to be public transportation. |
| 9:32
| Hans brought over some steak sandwiches but they might be a little cold after the walk. Steve's saving his for lunch. |
| 9:33
| Smith & Wollensky will begin serving from a prime rib cart today. It's dry-aged prime rib and they already have the cart. |
| 9:34
| Steve prefers the bone-in prime rib. It gives you something to gnaw on afterwards. When can Steve and Buzz expect the cart to be wheeled over here? |
| 9:35
| Steve has a question about the bone-in ribeye, which some might call the paddle steak or the cowboy steak. Is that called a Chicago steak? |
| 9:36
| Hans has never heard anyone call it a Chicago steak. Because the Kansas City cut is a bone-in sirloin. Sometimes the prime rib is called a Chicago cut or a city cut. |
| 9:37
| Didn't they invent the bone-in ribeye in Chicago? That's Steve's point, they should start calling it a Chicago cut. |
| 9:38
| Hans would also like to take Steve back in time to last Saturday at 5 pm. The cast of Happy Times (Happy Days) was at the restaurant. |
| 9:39
| The only person who wasn't there was Ron Howard. That's probably because he has a job. Henry Winkler was there, he was very nice. |
| 9:40
| The group sat in that little room just off the entrance of S & W, The Butcher Shop. Steve's always wondered what that room was. Why doesn't he get to sit in there? |
| 9:41
| Is it called The Butcher Shop because 8 people go in and 7 come out? Actually they used to sell steaks over the counter in that room. Then it was decided that they'd make more money with a table of 7 than selling steaks. |
| 9:42
| Steve would like to sit in there with Buzz and no one else. Theoretically there's room for 7 and then 8 when Hans comes in to talk your ear off. Steve's just kidding. The highlight of Hawks games is when Hans comes down to talk to him. |
| 9:43
| Speaking of the Hawks, Reggie Kerr was just in at S & W. Hans only prepared them appetizers and then went to a fondue party. Hans is Swiss, he can't go 48 hours without fondue. It's like plasma to him. |
| 9:44
| Hans could go for some fondue right now, it warms you up. Where does a Chef Hans go for a fondue party because it almost sounds like a swingers party. It was in a Church basement but not one he belongs to. A Swiss club rents it out. |
| 9:45
| So there's a fondue network? It's underground and that's the way they want it. They don't need Steve coming in and sticking his fork with a bread cube into the cheese. |
| 9:46
| Hans is picking the Chiants (Giants) in the Super Bowl. Steve just wants an exciting game. It won't be easy for the Patriots though. |
| 9:47
| The Giants played them tough in that last game of the season. Plus they lost that Packers game twice and still won. |
| 9:54
| The Happy Days reunion at World of Wheels was Henry Winkler, Erin Moran and Anson Williams. There was a fee for autographs, no wonder they could afford going to Smith & Wollensky. |
| 9:55
| Anson Williams and Erin Moran charged $15 for autographs while WInkler charged $20. Steve would rather blow his brains out than pay $20 for a Henry Winkler autograph. |
| 9:56
| Caller Jeff is a little cold, he's working outside. He wanted to let Steve know that the Giants are 12 point underdogs. Steve's going to take the Giants. |
| 9:57
| Steve was reading about people hiring private detectives to track down their first car. Steve doesn't think he needs to do that but he wouldn't mind tracking down the truck he had that was exactly like his first pick-up truck. |
| 9:58
| Steve saw it on the Stevenson one day and bought it from a guy running a taco stand. Then he had it fixed up. For some reason when he stopped drinking he thought he needed to get rid of it. |
| 9:59
| Every time Steve sees Cheryl Burton he's reminded of the truck although not because they fooled around in it or something. She was doing a piece of celebs and their cars and it included Steve. |
| 10:00
| So this might be something for Steve to do in the afternoons. But then maybe he should try to track down the original truck he had. |
| 10:01
| Buzz had a sweet customized VW that he wouldn't mind tracking down. It had the hood of a Studebaker. |
