| Steve will have to say that he's never heard She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult. Isn't that exciting? So today when Steve does his Casey Kasem thing he's learning along with the listeners. |
| 5:33
| The Cult are an English rock band that appeared in their earliest form in Bradford. That's probably Bradford, England right? |
| 5:34
| The band has gone through several line-ups but the longest serving members are vocalist Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy. Buzz probably knows that already though. |
| 5:35
| The band emerged as progenitors of the budding post-punk music scene that was happening in England. It wasn't a bad song but Steve's never heard it before. Buzz has never heard it but the last few notes of the song remind Buzz of Harry Nilsson's Jump Into the Fire. |
| 5:36
| You never know what you're going to get with that Jack. Just when you're expecting Steve Miller Band's Abracadabra you get The Cult. We actually ended the show yesterday with Abracadabra which was disheartening. |
| 5:37
| Steve prefers to think of it as the beginning of Jack's day, not the end of his. That was just as Buzz was being snatched from the elevator and brought back to record a spec spot. |
| 5:38
| Mary couldn't see Buzz but she knew he was there. He heard her call his name and figured it couldn't be good. The spec spot was written as if Steve was talking to Buzz so he needed to be there. |
| 5:39
| Steve probably could have talked as Buzz but it was better to have him here. They knocked off a sweet spec spot. |
| 5:40
| Caller Joe wanted to let Steve know that She Sells Sanctuary was in a Nissan commercial a few years back. It did make Steve want to buy a car. |
| 5:41
| Also a few years ago there was a Doors tribute concert where different singers performed with the surviving members. Cult lead singer Ian Astbury was actually going to go on tour with The Doors but it didn't work out. So he was going to be the new Lizard King? "You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!" |
| 5:42
| Joe lives in Portage, Indiana and travels to the North Side for work. He doesn't take the Skyway because it's $5 a day. It's not that far out of your way to take the Bishop Ford though. |
| 5:43
| Joe stays on the Skyway until he gets to the McDonald's then he takes a u-turn in the parking lot and heads back and then gets off at the first exit. Then he takes side streets to Lake Shore Drive. |
| 5:44
| If Steve were on the Skyway everyday heading to work he wouldn't be able to resist stopping at McDonald's. Joe doesn't stop, he's not much of a morning eater. We're learning so much about Joe, he's not a morning eater but he's a tollway cheater. |
| 5:45
| Steve's been learning the ins and outs of the Skyway more and more lately, it's a whole other world once you get off of that thing. There's a great looking hamburger place that Steve's been scouting for about a year. It sort of looks like a 50s drive-in. There's also another burger place but that might be near Beverly. |
| 5:46
| Buzz knows the place but he can't think of the name. Every time Steve drives by the cook is standing outside just waiting to make burgers. Steve's starving right now. He might be addicted to food. Unfortunately it's easy to get. |
| 5:47
| On the way in this morning Steve heard on WBBM about a drug addict who had just been arrested. He had a $2,000 a day habit and was able to buy drugs by stealing stuff for a year. That's like $700,000 on drugs. |
| 5:48
| Caller John has some info about that burger place in Beverly, it's called Top Notch. It's not bad but they throw a lot of stuff on there. They run it through the garden. |
| 5:49
| John doesn't know the place off the Skyway though. Steve will Google it during the break, he might go after the show. Although maybe he should save himself for Chinatown. |
| 5:50
| Steve's been seeing a place on TV that he wants to go to. It's on his fake list of places he wants to go to. It's a heavy metal bar where all the burgers are named after bands. Steve's going to take a break and look it up. He sounds like Kevin Matthews here! "Hey buddy, ever heard of that burger place?" |
| 5:56
| Caller Paul joins Steve and Buzz for Hamburger Talk, a great way to start off a Friday morning. The bar is called Kuma's Corner on Belmont and California. |
| 5:57
| Every Saturday Steve wakes up and thinks about going there. But every time he's seen it all the guys have tattoos and it's crowded. Steve would want to know someone there so he wouldn't have to wait to get in. |
| 5:58
| Steve has seen the owner on TV, it looks like someone who would know him. Although what if he goes there and they do know him but he still has to wait? |
| 5:59
| All the burgers are named after metal bands and there's an option to make your-own-Mac & Cheese. Can Steve tell Buzz about some burgers? Buzz loves talking about burgers and he loves eating them. |
| 6:00
| How about The Slayer? That's chili, cherry peppers, andouille, onions, Jack cheese and anger. |
| 6:01
| Steve's still looking for that place off the Skyway in East Chicago. Buzz thought it had something to do with someone's name, is it Ed's? |
| 6:02
| News with Buzz |
| 6:03
| Missouri's governor is praying for the families of victims of a shooting at a city council meeting in Kirkwood. The shooter killed 2 police officers and three others before he was shot by police officers. He has been identified as Charles Lee "Cookie" Thornton. |
| 6:04
| Mitt Romney has dropped out of the Presidential race. Supporters are not happy. Romney and McCain were at some Conservative convention and for Conservatives they were very loud. They're all screamers. |
| 6:05
| If Steve's Mitt Romney he'd want his money back. He's already talking about running in 2012 though. He can keep raising money though. |
| 6:06
| Steve would only want to be President for the perks, like the plane. People would probably appreciate his honesty. He's likeable too, he could get other countries to like us again. |
| 6:07
| The crew of the Space Shuttle Atlantis received a wake-up call from Earth this morning. Let's hope it was from Earth, otherwise it would be quite jarring. |
| 6:08
| Steve watched the lift-off yesterday on the HD channel, it was very exciting. Steve's not sure if this is a new thing but they had a camera on one of the booster rockets. It wasn't the big brown one, or SRB, it was one of the smaller ones. |
| 6:09
| So when the booster rocket comes off you can see it tumbling away. Steve's pretty sure the two smaller ones come off first. He's really off to a great start today, he can't remember the burger place and he doesn't have his NASA info. |
| 6:10
| Tinley Park police are again asking for the public's help in finding the suspect in the Lane Bryant store shooting. They need to release that sketch! |
| 6:11
| They're actually having some problems with the sketch. The survivor is still helping the police but she's still traumatized from the events. That store and that shopping center didn't have security cameras. How much can that cost? |
| 6:12
| Steve still has that Britney Spears thing that he never read from the other day. |
| 6:13
| Britney's parents went to her house on January 28th after news reports of a fight she had with Osama Lufti. Osama? Steve didn't know that. Maybe he's Osama bin Laden? |
| 6:14
| They arrived at the Summit Community gatehouse in BHPO at 10 pm. So now we have some more information about where she lives and where Clooney lives. |
| 6:15
| Britney doesn't lock her does and there were no security guards on duty. It's an open door policy. Two or three other paparazzi entered the house and came into the kitchen. Again, that's the open door policy. |
| 6:16
| Sam had told Britney that her parents were coming over to the house for an intervention. |
| 6:17
| Lynne also heard that Sam had called Britney an unfit mother, a piece of trash and a whore who cares more about herself than her children. You don't want to hear that from your manager. |
| 6:18
| Lynne Spears looked around the kitchen and saw a car battery on the table. Sam needed it to charge his car battery. |
| 6:19
| Sam was telling people to tell Britney that Adnan was gay. Later she came to ask Lynne if she thought Adnan was gay. This is like an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies. |
| 6:20
| Britney then became agitated and started cleaning the house and changing her clothes and her dogs clothes. At least she's cleaning. |
| 6:21
| Britney picked up a prescription bottle, read the label and asked "what does insomnia mean?" Sam told her the pills were to keep her awake. Steve's pretty sure that's not what "insomnia" means. |
| 6:22
| Sam told Lynne that the doctor treating Britney wants to her her into a sleep-inducted coma so they could give her drugs to heal her brain. |
| 6:23
| Sam was encouraging people to do tequila shots. They declined and they he got some wine out to do toasts. |
| 6:24
| Sam was seen crushing something up on the counter and then later Sam told Britney to come upstairs with him. |
| 6:25
| She came back down a short time later and wanted to go to Rite Aid for lipsticks. Steve's going to finish this up after the break. |
| 6:30
| OK back to the court document. This is the one Britney's mom filed the last time when there was that motorcade on the way to the hospital. She's trying to get a restraining order against Sam Lufti. |
| 6:31
| Not that it really matters, it's all the same and it's all good. Why is she going to Rite Aid for lipstick? She's Britney Spears! |
| 6:32
| So they leave Rite Aid after she gets the lipstick and the credit card is rejected. |
| 6:33
| That's when Sam told Lynne that he controls everything. No one listens to Britney they listen to Sam. |
| 6:34
| At one point later that night Sam bragged that he's the one who receives Britney's checks. He said if he wasn't there to give her medicine she'd kill herself. Then Sam aid he'd something on her grave. That's not very nice. |
| 6:35
| Britney asked Sam what she had to do to see her kids and he said Wednesday but only if she took the pills. Britney said she doesn't like the pills or her psychiatrist. |
| 6:36
| Adnan has called Lynne and told her he's worried about Britney. She says that Sam hides the phones and her dog. That's mean. And this is all in one trip to the house. |
| 6:37
| While at Rite Aid Britney went in and out of the British accent. At 4 am Lynne wanted to leave but Sam had blocked her car so she threatened to call Britney's father back to the house. |
| 6:38
| Lynne spent the night at Britney's house but couldn't sleep and felt agitated. She left like she'd had coffee. It sounds like she thinks there was something in her wine. |
| 6:39
| Steve will be charging his phone with a car battery this weekend. It makes Buzz think there's a car out on Britney's driveway without a battery. The cars seem disposable to them anyway. If they get a flat tire they just leave the car. |
| 6:40
| Live read: Laz Parking |
| 6:41
| Steve has received a card that allows him to park at any of the garages this company owns for free. They must know how important parking is to Steve. It's key. |
| 6:42
| Steve got an email from Adam yesterday that said "you've hit the parking goldmine". Steve might just go over and park in a garage after the show. |
| 6:49
| Steve feels bad for Britney, it doesn't seem like she's getting good advice. Someone like her will throw in with anyone who seems to be taking care of her. |
| 6:50
| It occurred to Steve that starting the show off with burger talk was unfair to all the Catholics out there since it's Lent and they can't eat meat on Fridays. It used to be that you didn't eat meat on any Friday but mostly now it's just during Lent. |
| 6:51
| Steve does like a good pepper and egg sandwich though. Buzz has never had one. It's eggs scrambled with peppers on that Gonnella bread. Buzz loves that bread. Ricobene's makes a nice one. |
| 6:52
| Time for today's web poll question. First the results from yesterday. 74% of people polled said their cars had been damaged by a pothole. |
| 6:53
| Today's web poll question is "have you ever heard of New England Greek-style pizza." Steve has a list of regional pizzas which makes him want to start up a tour company. |
| 6:54
| The Greek-style is a thin crust but not a cracker-like bottom, much like Buzz. It's often oily enough on the bottom to saturate the box. |
| 6:55
| The tomato sauce is heavily spiced with oregano and there's a thin layer of cheese. That doesn't sound that different than any other pizzas to Buzz. |
| 6:56
| Steve wasn't expecting Buzz to recognize the subtle differences in each pizza. Up until a year ago he was ordering from Domino's. And he's never had a pepper and egg sandwich. |
| 6:57
| Steve's hesitant to go into the other pizza styles with Buzz because of the subtle differences. He might need a break to regroup so he can pitch this to Buzz in a different way. How about a song? |
| 6:58
| A Neopolitan pizza is usually 10 inches in diameter, thin-crust and cooked in a wood-burning oven. The most popular is the pizza Margherita. |
| 6:59
| The New York Neopolitan follows those tenants but deviates in that it's bigger, thinner and and crispier. |
| 7:00
| New York-style pizza has a crust that is at best chewy and crunch with usually only two toppings. Those are the big slices that you fold over. Steve likes New York-style but he likes to load up his ingredients. |
| 7:01
| There are a million styles here, Steve needs to narrow them down a bit. |
| 7:02
| Song: Brass in Pocket, The Pretenders |
| 7:04
| Steve's just going to read the pizza styles and Buzz can tell him which ones he wants to hear about. How about Sicilian style? It's rectangular with a thick crust |
| 7:05
| Grandma-style or Nonna style is like Sicilian style only thinner. |
| 7:06
| New Haven is cooked in a coal oven with a very crisp crust in oblong shape, served on wax paper and a cafeteria tray. |
| 7:07
| Grilled pizza was invented in Providence, Rhode Island. The crust cooks quickly in the extreme heat so nothing drips into the grates. |
| 7:08
| Of course you've got your Chicago-region. The Midwest style is round and thin, very crisp yet tender-flaky and is cut into squares. |
| 7:09
| St. Louis-style is often mistaken for Chicago thin crust but the crust is unleavened. |
| 7:10
| Ohio Valley-style is square and cut into squares. The cheese isn't cooked all the way. Uncooked toppings are put on the pizza and there's no sauce, just stewed tomatoes. Steve doesn't think he'd want pizza in the Ohio Valley. |
| 7:11
| Now Steve's hungry for pizza. Luckily Taco Bell is coming at 8. There are some good pizza places finally popping up around Steve's place. |
| 7:12
| Has Pete started eating pizza yet? Because he was waiting until the Beras won the Super Bowl. How's he doing with that? |
| 7:13
| Pete had his own Pizza Tragedy recently. He thought he was off pizza but then he was out drinking and the group ordered some Aurellio's so Pete had a bunch. |
| 7:14
| Pete says he gave up pizza because he's watching his figure. Pete's not fat but he's not really thin so it's not working. |
| 7:15
| Pete can't just order a small pizza. He orders a big one and then eats the leftovers. Steve prefers a small pizza, it's perfectly proportioned. |
| 7:16
| Pete's friends listen to the show so they're aware of him not eating pizza. Catman said it was crazy when he had some. What a life he's leading. Steve was addicted to drugs and alcohol, he doesn't want to hear about this! |
| 7:17
| Pete has carved out quite a life for himself up in Rogers Park. Steve always tries to get Pete out of that life but he'd rather just stay home and have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. |
| 7:18
| Pete needs to live life a little bit. He shouldn't have this much shame. He has a goal he wants to reach since he's watching is figure. Maybe he shouldn't drink so much beer every weekend. |
| 7:19
| Pete actually gave up beer for Lent but he'll probably just drink wine. So he'll still be able to get drunk every weekend and feel people up? He feels guilty about the pizza but he doesn't feel guilty about that? |

| 7:24
| You might recall from the earlier live read that Steve's been given a pass to park in any of their garages for free, whenever he wants. |
| 7:25
| Pat Boyle is on the phone. His theme song has also been reworked, is Pat ready for that? |
| 7:26
| With the all access parking pass Pat can see Steve heading down to the Taste during the summer just because he's in the mood for some ribs. |
| 7:27
| The Hawks won last night, as did the Bulls. It's a rare night. They're all on the road because of High School Musical on Ice which doesn't seem right. |
| 7:28
| Pat is unfortunately going to see that at 10:30 this morning. Will they serve brats at the United Center before noon? Steve still doesn't get how two professional sports teams get kicked out of their stadium. |
| 7:29
| Buzz would probably be going with Pat if his daughter was in town this week. It might not be around for much longer though. |
| 7:30
| Buzz did take his daughter to see the Hannah Montana movie, he didn't mind. |
| 7:31
| Pedro Martinez was involved in some cockfighting in the Dominican Republic, where it's legal. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal which is what Pedro and the Mets are saying. |
| 7:32
| We should have it up here too, wouldn't that be a fun thing to do this weekend? Buzz was involved in the cockfighting industry for a while wasn't he? |
| 7:33
| Things are getting dicey for Roger Clemens. His former trainer, Brian McNamee, showed up with a tackle box full of syringes and supplies that he claims were used to shoot up Clemens. |
| 7:34
| It's creepy that he kept syringes from Roger Clemens though. |
| 7:35
| NFL broadcasters were rated and Sam Rosen and Tim Ryan were up at #1. Tirico, Jaws and Kornheiser on Monday Night Football were rated the worst. |
| 7:36
| Steve disagrees with that, he thinks Matt Vagesarian and JC Pearson are the worst. |
| 7:37
| Roger Goodell may change the NFL playoffs. He's proposing that if the Wild Card team has a better record than the division winner they play they could actually host the game. |
| 7:38
| What about having the Pro Bowl the week before the Super Bowl? You need to build up to that Super Bowl. This Sunday Steve will be in Chinatown. He'll be inside the dragon. |

| 7:47
| Steve's having turkey breast cutlets with a moho sauce. Steve's not sure what that is but it sounds great. He won't be getting pizza tonight because the food is so good. |
| 7:48
| Moho is a read sauce that comes from the Canary Island. Steve's snack is artichoke bottoms. Buzz probably didn't know artichokes had bottoms. |
| 7:49
| Frank Caliendo is coming in later, he's in town promoting something and he's making the rounds. |
| 7:50
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 7:51
| Where has Drew Peterson been? Drew's asking Buzz that, where's he been? Apparently he's peaked. |
| 7:52
| That Dating Game thing didn't help, nor did the thing with the divorce attorney. There were reports that Drew was spotted with her though. |
| 7:53
| Drew can't confirm or deny anything pertaining to her. He's kind of been lying low lately. |
| 7:54
| Buzz wouldn't mind hearing a sweet rendition of Have You Seen Her. That's a real crowd pleaser. |
| 7:55
| Drew tried to do She's Gone the other day but it didn't work out. That one has a different message anyway. |
| 7:56
| He was also experimenting with Baby Come Back but he can do Have You Seen Her for Buzz. |
| 7:57
| How about some reverb? |
| 7:58
| Drew performs Have You Seen Her. |
| 8:00
| Steve doesn't have the second page of the lyrics so he might have to stop. That's enough for now though. |
| 8:01
| Time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. It's the Taco Weekend Kick-off and Steve and Buzz will be having the Gordita Supreme. |
| 8:02
| Song: Walkin' on the Sun, Smash Mouth |
| 8:06
| Is that the authorized Jack version of that song? The recorded version isn't that good, the live version really sucks. |
| 8:07
| Frank Caliendo is here, he's doing a couple of shows. Maybe he should take some time off, they're working him too hard. |
| 8:08
| Bush is only in the White House for another year, he's making hay while the sun shines. Plus who knows how long John Madden will live for. |
| 8:09
| Buzz was watching something the other night with John Madden and he couldn't tell if it was really him or if it was Frank. Was that the DirecTV commercial? |
| 8:10
| Those ads have been really good, especially during the writer's strike. Buzz is wondering if Frank has heard from John about the ads. |
| 8:11
| Steve liked Frank's TBS show, before the writer's strike hit. Frank's not sure what's going on but he's pretty sure it'll come back. |
| 8:12
| There are a few things Frank would like to change and probably a few things the network wants to change. The show took so long from pilot to air date, over a year, that Frank doesn't want to rush it. |
| 8:13
| TBS was just waiting for the baseball playoffs to launch so he could be oversaturated everywhere. He got pretty good exposure at the Super Bowl though. |
| 8:14
| Frank will be at the Genessee Theater in Waukegan tonight at 8:30. Tickets are still available. |
| 8:15
| Then tomorrow night there are two shows at the Vic Theater. |
| 8:22
| That was Joe Buck talking about Frank at the Super Bowl. Although he said that Frank freaks out his kids every morning by waking them up to a different voice. |
| 8:23
| That's the first time Frank heard that audio. The last time Frank was here he said he could walk down the street and not be noticed. |
| 8:24
| Since them he's had the TBS ads, the TBS show, the DirecTV ads and then the Super Bowl exposure. |
| 8:25
| Now Frank's getting noticed. His wife won't sit next to him at the airport because people keep looking at them. He just tells her that's how they pay for the house. |
| 8:26
| Steve saw some stuff on the TBS show with Frank in his backyard with his son. The yard looked sweet. Frank was trying to get his son to do his impersonations, like George Bush. |
| 8:27
| Frank's son is 3 1/2 years old. Sometimes he wants to go onstage and sometimes he doesn't. He brought him up in one place and he got a huge laugh from the George Bush impersonation. |
| 8:28
| There was a huge smile on his face which made Frank wonder what he'd just done. Now he can't get his kid off the stage. |
| 8:29
| But Frank's well known now. It didn't happen overnight though. Did Frank get his start in radio or was he just calling in to radio shows? |
| 8:30
| Frank doesn't think he could do a full radio show, people would get sick of that much John Madden. Frank feels he's only good in short spurts. |
| 8:31
| At MadTV they always wanted him to do Madden. They'd come to him and say they needed him to do Madden but there was no skit written. |
| 8:32
| Buzz loves the DirecTV ad with Madden where he doesn't even say anything. He's just mumbling. Steve likes the thing he did at the Super Bowl where he was Dr. Phil and then the real Dr. Phil showed up. |
| 8:33
| Steve thought the clam chowder thing was also excellent, it turned out really well. |
| 8:34
| Frank feels now that people actually want him to do impersonations of him, like he's painting their portraits. Sal Paolantonio came up to him at the Super Bowl and asked him to do an impression. |
| 8:35
| Frank also got to do his Charles Barkley impersonation to Charles. He liked it although he didn't think he sounded exactly like that. |
| 8:36
| A lot of times, especially with the sports guys, they don't get that all Frank is doing is taking one thing someone does and blowing it way out of proportion, like with Madden. |
| 8:37
| What time did Frank get up to do all these interviews? His flight got in around 1 am and then he was up at 7 am. |
| 8:38
| Frank is at the Genessee Theater tonight at 8:30 pm, the big show. You can bring kids, Frank works clean. Unlike Steve and Buzz who work extremely blue. |
| 8:39
| Frank has thought about doing a show blue once in a while. Sometimes he'll say something like "I like melons" as Bill Clinton and he'll get a few oohs from the crowd. |
| 8:40
| Frank actually likes the challenge of dancing around the profanity. But sometimes if he gets anywhere near the edge people will react. |
| 8:41
| Frank is also doing two shows at the Vic Theater tomorrow night at 7:30 and 10 pm. |
| 8:49
| That's Frank Caliendo on Frank TV. The cool thing about that show is people like his impersonations so he gets to film on a lot of the real sets. That heightens it. |
| 8:50
| Steve knows what it's like to do an impersonation for the person you're impersonating. Buzz is wondering who that was. |
| 8:51
| It was Drew Peterson. And he said the impersonation sucks. Buzz disagrees. |
| 8:52
| Brendan's going to be G Boutique in Bucktown tonight. You have to think a lingerie shop on a Friday night, good things can happen. |
| 8:53
| Buzz remembers a promo saying Brendan would be handing out romantic advice tonight. For Brendan that means find the drunkest chick in the room and grope and fondle her until someone breaks it up or she goes home with you. Steve's seen him in action, at Pat Dahl's wedding with the neighbor girl. Relatives were flying in to break it up. |
| 8:55

| The Chicago Tribune is reporting that through yesterday the city has received 11 minutes of sunshine this month. It's the cloudiest month in years and one of the cloudiest since records were first taken in 1893. |

| Mitt Romney has dropped out of the Presidential race. He took his mit and went home. |
| 8:59
| Britney Spears' parents are objecting after their daughter was released from a hospital on Wednesday. They said so in a joint statement to CNN's Anderson Cooper. |
| 9:00
| Lynne Spears also claim that Lufti has been drugging her daughter by mashing up prescription drugs. |
| 9:01
| That whole thing is a rats nest, how does it happen? All of her |
| 9:02
| Authorities arrested many members of the Gambino crime family in New York, New Jersey and even Italy. |
| 9:03
| Buzz has some of the nicknames of those arrested. You've got John D'Amico or John the Nose. You've got Vincent Dragonetti also known as Vincent, Vinny, Mike, Mikey and Skinny. These guys sure have a lot of nicknames. |
| 9:04
| The city of Chicago has already spent $14 million of the $18.5 million allotted for snow removal. They're running out of salt because, ironically, barges with salt are frozen on a river. |
| 9:05
| If you've ever wondered what it's like to walk into the mind of Oprah WInfrey you can now at the Oprah Winfrey Store. just down the street from Harpo Studios. |
| 9:06
| The most popular item at the 55,000 square foot store has been a handbag with O's on it. 55,000 square feet or 5,500? It's 5,500 but Buzz imagines it'll be up to 55,000 one day. |
| 9:07
| That seems like a store to avoid but then again all those people are waiting in line to get into the show, might as well sell them something. |
| 9:08
| Would Buzz like to know what else is in the store? How about glass-bead and telephone-wire bowls and baskets handmade by women in Africa? Or handmade key rings in the shape of giraffes, crocodiles and elephants. |
| 9:09
| Oprah has a new show where she gives contestants money to help people. Whoever wins gets $1 million dollars. Although they don't know they're winning that money. But you have to tell the viewers that to get them to watch. |

| People keep asking Steve would to listen to in the afternoon, why not Jack music? The day's over, relax. Music, smart-ass comment, music, commercial, smart-ass comment, music, it's very relaxing. |
| 9:16
| Steve and Buzz are doing the same thing in the morning but the ratio of songs to smart-ass music is different. |
| 9:17
| Steve does like listening to the station though. He was listening before the move to mornings and he likes it. |
| 9:25
| Frank Caliendo cut some promos for the show while he was here. That's Todd Cavanah at work. He pressed Frank into service. |

| Live read: Woodfield |
| 9:27
| Steve loves the Auntie Anne's pretzels out at Woodfield. Buzz likes the Haagen Dazs. Sometimes you have to go that far for the hand packed ice cream. |
| 9:28
| Sunday is Chinese New Year as Buzz knows. It's the Year of the Rat. On the phone from Won Kow restaurant is Dave Hoy. |
| 9:29
| Dave was at the restaurant a few weeks ago when Steve came by. He put them in the Al Capone table. |
| 9:30
| Dave was calling to invite Steve and his family and co-workers to a New Year's dinner. Thursday was the New Year but Sunday is the parade. |
| 9:31
| Steve is very interested, he loves Chinatown. He's thinking of getting a place down there. |
| 9:32
| Steve's plan is to park down here and then take the Red Line to Chinatown. Dave recommends that to a lot of people. |
| 9:33
| They do require a special permit for the fireworks at the parade now. That was probably after Steve nearly blew his hand off. |
| 9:34
| Dave will never forget that broadcast. As it turns out it really helped to wake Steve up, he had to drive to Peoria after the broadcast. |
| 9:35
| Is there something special that goes on at a Chinese New Year dinner? For most family dinners they're actually not as elaborate. |
| 9:36
| So the food probably isn't exactly what people expect from a Chinese restaurant. Steve doesn't need tradition, just lay the regular stuff on him. |
| 9:37
| What does the Year of the Rat mean? Marketing-wise it doesn't work that well but it's a good year. |
| 9:38
| Rats are leaders, pioneers and conquerors. Rat people are intelligent and cunning, keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agenda. |
| 9:39
| Steve might be a Rat, Dave's describing him. He'll have to check and make sure he wasn't born in the Year of the Rat. |
| 9:40
| Steve's planning on basing himself out of Chinatown in the future. Steve loves Chinatown. It's not the oldest Chinatown in the country but it's right up there. |
| 9:41
| The original Chinatown at Clark & Van Buren was started around 1910 or so. At some point there was a split within the community and some people moved to Wentworth and Cermak which is the Chinatown everyone knows now. |
| 9:42
| Chicago's Chinatown is not the biggest but it's almost all Chinese people. The table at Won Kow will now be known as the Al Capone/Steve Dahl table. |
| 9:43
| If Steve and Buzz go down there this year by next year they'll be in that dragon. |

| This just in from Ed Silha (S-I-L-H-A), he's a Horse and so is Steve. A Horse's capacity for hard work is amazing. You are your own person-very independent. While intelligent and friendly, you have a strong streak of selfishness. That doesn't sound like Steve! |
| 9:52
| It seems like all these Zodiac things are written for everyone. They're never bad, it's never something you don't want to be. Buzz doesn't read the horoscopes because he's worried that he'll make those things happen. |
| 9:53
| Buzz doesn't want to be influenced by a newspaper column. It's like The Secret, anticipate it and it'll come true. It's very spiritual, Buzz wouldn't expect Steve to grasp it. |
| 9:54
| Steve has some more about the horse, if he could read about himself. That's the egotistical part. In the Year of the Rat good fortune will come to the Horse. |
| 9:55
| Headstrong horses can seem a bit arrogant sometimes. Where are they getting this stuff? If you were born in 1966 don't act rash. Ed was born in 1966 and he's very rash. |
| 9:56
| If you were born in 1942 this may be the year to pot long-term plans into action. Yeah, because you're dying! |
| 9:57
| Generally speaking the horse is popular and attractive to the opposite sex. OK, now it's right on the money. You're often ostentatious and impatient. Where do they get this stuff/ |
| 9:58
| The Horse needs people, marry early. Steve did marry early, he was 18. Horses born in 1990 will do very well in studies. |
| 9:59
| For horses born in 1954 which is Steve, business will boom. He shouldn't neglect advice from experts and those with experience. Is that what Buzz is talking about? Todd will tell Steve something, he'll do it and it'll be career suicide. |
| 10:00
| If you were born in 1930 finances are limited. Probably because you're on a fixed income! For those born in 1954 there may be potential financial loss towards the end of the year. |
| 10:01
| How is Steve supposed to live with that hanging over his head for the entire year?! This is what Buzz was talking about right? Don't boast about your wealth, you may be robbed. Jesus! |
