| That's the Rolling Stones, Honky Tonk Women. It's a good one. Steve just experienced a new low that he'd like to share. |
| 5:31
| Steve did not weigh himself this morning because of the big staff dinner at L-Woods yesterday. He must have eaten about 30 pounds of food. |
| 5:32
| But Steve didn't feel like weighing himself, he could miss one day. He's coming off the staff dinner and the 30th anniversary yesterday and he's no Eddie Schwartz. |
| 5:33
| Steve went into his private bathroom, or bafroom as he just said, before the show started. Steve just went into his Tyrone there which reminds him that he heard that a salt truck overturned on the Kennedy near Cumberland. The good news is that if it snows there they're all ready. Plus if anyone driving by needs salt they can scoop some up. |
| 5:34
| So Steve sat down on his toilet and broke the seat. He does sort of plop down on it though. When you crack your toilet seat, even a hairline crack, it hurts when you sit down. You have to sit completely still so you don't pinch your skin in the crack. |
| 5:35
| Plus you have to sit there on that cracked seat which is a constant reminder of what a fat loser you are. Plus Steve has to tell someone about the cracked seat and they'll probably ask him if he wants them to just put in a metal toilet like in prison. |
| 5:36
| There are a few other people who have keys to the Green Room, Steve might blame one of them. The engineer for WCKG, which is now Fresh FM, has a key although he denies even using the bathroom. He barely even talks to Steve any more. |
| 5:37
| Buzz was watching that Fresh FM commercial on TV. There's a girl who's dressed as a school girl, listening to hip-hop, which is hot, then she's dressed as a librarian which is also hot. |
| 5:38
| Then in the background of the commercial Buzz hears a song which has haunted him since 1978, You Light Up My Life. Then he had to try to finger out if it was the Debbie Boone version or the Didi Conn version. Buzz used to change the lyrics to "you light up my life, fill it with strife, you are a nightmare." Then Buzz wondered if he should be dating a librarian. |
| 5:39
| It's too bad they couldn't spend money on commercials when Steve and Buzz were on WCKG. Fresh FM will probably do well though because of those commercials. |
| 5:40
| On Jack FM they edit the songs, like that Alanis Morissette song You Oughta Know. They just take out that entire part about the theater. What's the point of playing it then? Jack seems like a bit of a wuss. |
| 5:41
| Steve plays the Jack version of the song and it doesn't seem as bad as he thought. Pete actually has several versions of the song available to him. It's just like Steve to launch into something with a million options. In the version he heard the other day they cut out "theater". This version had it in there though. |
| 5:42
| Buzz is outraged that there are two versions in the song. Steve might recall a few weeks ago that he played that live version of the Smash Mouth song. |
| 5:43
| The acoustic version also has "theater" in it. Is there a third version out there without it? Steve swears it was edited out of the version he heard and he almost pulled over because he was so mad. Maybe Jack isn't as big of a wuss as Steve though. |
| 5:44
| Steve prefers a bleep to silence or that part of the song run backwards. Steve does like You Oughta Know, he always heard it was about Dave Coulier from Full House. Kudos to you Dave, she must have been 17 when he hit that. He must have done something really bad to her too to make her that angry. |
| 5:45
| Buzz is impressed with the ability to edit the lyrics of the song without changing the music. Steve's pretty sure the record company does that, Jack doesn't have those capabilities. |
| 5:46
| Steve likes that song as well as Thank You and Ironic, even though nothing in the song is ironic. It's not ironic if it rains on your wedding day unless you're a weatherman. |
| 5:47
| Caller Karen broke her elliptical machine, which she got for Christmas. She's been using it for 6 weeks and the shaft just snapped. |
| 5:48
| So Karen had to take it back to the sporting goods store where all the employees are skinny and have to ask her how she managed to break it. It has a 300 pound limit and she weighs half of that. She should have asked them how they managed to sell her a bad machine. |
| 5:49
| Karen just wanted to make Steve feel better after hearing that he broke his toilet seat. It was probably just poorly manufactured. Steve thinks the toilet seat had just had enough and finally snapped. |
| 5:50
| Going back to that salt truck thing, WBBM-AM must be really late with their traffic. The whole way in they were reporting the spill and then at 5:30 it's all over? |
| 5:51
| If it had just happened when they were reporting it, there's no way it could all be cleaned up in a half hour. |
| 5:58
| Tyrone's checking in with some traffic, he heard Steve talking about the salt spill. |
| 5:59
| Steve's right, all the lanes are clear but there's a big pile of salt on the side of the road. So if you need some you can go get some. |
| 6:00
| Tyrone went into one of those car washes where you hose the car yourself. He flew the choptater in there because he's a really good pilot. This is sort of a complicated explanation, you'll have to suspend your disbelief. |
| 6:01
| Let's just say Tyrone flew his choptater into somewhere with a working hose. He coated the bubble of the choptater with water and then dipped it into the salt like the rim of a Margarita glass. |
| 6:02
| He'll also be cooking some ribs this weekend on a bed of rock salt. Buzz probably didn't know Tyrone was a cook. |
| 6:03
| That whole area up by Cumberland is crazy. All the expressways are coming together and everyone is driving crazy. Whoever engineered that should be executed. |
| 6:04
| They should also execute the guy who designed the Hillside Strangler, which was moved to Maywood and is now the Maywood Strangler. |
| 6:05
| Tyrone's a man who enjoys his work. He's good at it and when you're good at something you can't help but enjoy it. |
| 6:06
| Would Buzz like to hear more about Alanis Morissette and You Oughta Know? A common rumor about the song is that it was written about her one-time boyfriend Dave Coulier. |
| 6:07
| Other celebrities that the song is rumored to be about include Bob Saget, Coulier's co-star on Full House. He had denied a relationship with her. |
| 6:08
| Hockey player Doug Gilmour is also rumored to be the inspiration for the song. When Keith Olberman worked at ESPN he used to say "this is for Alanis's pain" whenever they showed Gilmour highlights. |
| 6:09
| The topic of the song was discussed on an episode of Curb in which Morissette told Larry David who the song was about but the audience never heard what she said. |
| 6:10
| In a Jay and Silent Bob promo for MTV Jay tells Silent Bob that he was the inspiration for the song. Pete should probably load this song up, let's go acoustic version. |
| 6:11
| On Al-TV "Weird Al" Yankovic joked that he used to date Alanis Morissette and particularly enjoyed when they went to the theater. That's a lot of information about the song but it's information you oughta know. |
| 6:12
| Song: You Oughta Know, Alanis Morissette |
| 6:15
| There you go, that's a good song. Steve likes when the nasty words are in there and he doesn't know why we can't play them in this day and age. Thanks to Janet Jackson we can't even come close. |
| 6:16
| The first nasty bit, about the theater, was just edited in backwards but the second bit was silent. Maybe she took the second part out herself. Steve can see her thinking the first one isn't that bad. |
| 6:17
| Steve still prefers a good 1000 cycle beep. Back in the day when Chuck Barris did The Dating Game he'd bleep things out that didn't even need to be bleeped out just to liven things up. Jimmy Kimmel does the same thing and it's really funny. |
| 6:22
| That's Alanis Morissette on Curb Your Enthusiasm, or Curb as it's called in the business. It seems like she's gotten it together but maybe too together since we haven't heard from her in a while. She's not made any more. |
| 6:23
| Sometimes Dave Coulier dumping you is the best thing that can happen in the long run. It seems like you'd get tired of him after a while anyway. |
| 6:24
| Buzz is wondering if there's a switch Steve can throw for his mic, it sounds to him like he's in a cavern. Just so Buzz knows it doesn't sound like that to anyone else. Maybe it's his tinitis. |
| 6:25
| News with Buzz |
| 6:26
| Authorities have ruled that the death of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was a murder. |
| 6:27
| Drew's just taking it all in right now. He blames global warming for what happened to Kathleen. The tub became too full from all the ice caps melting. |
| 6:28
| John McCain continues to deny the report from the New York Times that he had a relationship with a female lobbyist. His wife is disappointed in the New York Times for reporting the story. |
| 6:29
| Steve wouldn't be disappointed if it was true but that's just him. Buzz would be disappointed if McClain came out of this anything but clean. If Buzz is going to keep saying John McClain all the way until November we're going to have to have post-show meeting. |
| 6:30
| Who's reporting this anyway? It's just a former aide of McCain's, who does that? Of course there's a whole group of people who used to work for Steve and hate him now. |
| 6:31
| As Steve was talking about at dinner last night, there's a video on YouTube where a guy says he was in a limo with Barack Obama doing crazy things. It's just as unsubstantiated as the McCain story. |
| 6:32
| Ted Kennedy-known for his sense of humor and his annual costume parties-was at a Nevada Hispanic political rally for Barack Obama was inspired to sing a few words in Spanish. You know those costume parties are probably like the ones in Eyes Wide Shut. |
| 6:33
| The controversy surrounding the New England Patriots' videotaping of other teams continues to grow. |
| 6:34
| New allegations have surfaced that the team has been taping opponents since 2000, Belichick's first year with the team. |
| 6:35
| Of course! Everyone does that, why not a long as you can get away with it? |
| 6:36
| The name Barack has been declared Name of the Year on the iVillage.com baby name tracker. It has yet to appear on the official roster at the Social Security Administration though. |
| 6:37
| Steve's on iVillage trying to look up baby names. He didn't think it would be ask complicated as it is. There's an ad blocking the text and every time Steve clicks on it it rolls over everything. |
| 6:38
| Steve can't find Barack on this list or Steve. What the hell kind of list is this? |
| 6:39
| Buzz thought he just heard Pete laughing. That's not right, Pete shouldn't be laughing at him. |
| 6:46
| Steve saw Buzz pull out of L-Woods last night after the show dinner in his Grand Prix, it's a muscle car. Buzz felt bad driving away because he didn't offer Pete a ride home. Rogers Park would have been on Buzz's way home as it turns out. |
| 6:47
| The one time Rogers Park isn't out of the way Pete doesn't ask for a ride. He only asks if you're in Downers Grove and it's two hours out of the way. |
| 6:48
| As it turns out Pete had his own car that he rented from that car share program. It's some sort of idiot downtown thing where you rent the car by the hour. Steve doesn't really understand how you get the keys though. |
| 6:49
| The keys are in the glove box and you open the doors with a key card. Does the car have the name of the company on the side so it's embarrassing to drive around in? |
| 6:50
| Although I-Go, people could think you're some sort of internet entrepreneur. It's all over the car, on the side, on the bumper. Steve's sorry he missed that look. Pete was worried about Steve seeing his car when he arrived last night. Stev would have just been impressed that he had a car. |
| 6:51
| A dinner with Steve is fraught with peril for Pete. He's worried about how to drink his coffee and what to order. Steve didn't hassle Pete at all last night and he ordered a ribeye. Buzz was keeping an eye on him. |
| 6:52
| The last time we went out Pete asked for a Coke and when the waitress said "is Pepsi alright?" he said it wasn't. That's usually a rhetorical question. Steve hassling Pete is good for him in the long run though. Last night Pete noticed himself drinking his coffee with two hands and stopped himself. |
| 6:53
| Steve didn't notice that but he did notice the cake falling on Steve. Well actually he was in the bathroom when it actually happened. |
| 6:54
| It was Buzz, Adam, Pete, Brendan, Mary, Steve, Jim, Mark, Tina and Stephanie. Steve's going around the table. There were a few people who were upset that they weren't invited, like Ron Lewis. Steve did invite Ed but he couldn't make it. |
| 6:55
| Steve only wanted to invite people involved with the day-to-day operation of the show. Bob and Ron didn't get invited either because they do this creepy thing where they dress in dirty sweaters, to look nice, and then show up and do things like order the lobster and make them dance. Steve just wanted a normal dinner. |
| 6:56
| So Danny from L-Woods got a cake in the shape of a microphone for Steve. It was down by Steve for a photo and then down by Buzz for the cutting. He backed away from it as he does with all microphones. |
| 6:57
| The base of the cake was ice cream and then there was a plastic cylinder holding up the rest of the microphone. Everyone kept saying the top part was going to fall but no one had a plan to prevent it. |
| 6:58
| Steve got up to go to the bathroom and when he got back the top of the cake had fallen on Buzz. The base of the cake was black and the top part of the mic was silver with black highlights so that's some hardcore food coloring. It looked like Buzz had a prison tattoo. |
| 6:59
| Buzz did maintain his cool when the cake fell on him though. He's a different person than he used to be. Buzz feels it's his own fault since he was arrogant enough to think he'd correctly predicted that the cake would fall away from him. |
| 7:00
| Buzz got all the dye off his arm today though but last night he was getting a wipe down from the waiter. It was almost like one of those table washes that Steve likes. |
| 7:01
| That shirt Buzz was wearing is probably lost though, let's just go ahead and comp him on that. Aimee has worked wonders on previous stains so Buzz is still holding out hope. The shirt isn't irreplaceable though. |
| 7:02
| Does Buzz have front plates on his car? Steve didn't think he did but he was more paying attention to Buzz in a car. You don't normally see Buzz in a car so it's funny to watch. |
| 7:03
| Steve got caught in the front drive at L-Woods because people kept pulling up to drop off or pick up family members. It's not that cold out! It was irritating, North Shore irritating. |
| 7:04
| As Steve was backing out there was car in back of him with a husband unloading a baby from the car seat. The wife gave Steve the dirtiest look ever, like he was about to run her whole family down. |
| 7:05
| Steve was very close to rolling down the window and telling her "baby, you don't need to eat here" because her ass was about 10 feet wide. What else was Steve supposed to do, there was a guy waiting to get into his space? |
| 7:06

| 7:07
| So everyone had fun at the dinner last night. On the way there Steve saw a billboard for Medieval Times which seems like a good place to have show dinner. Steve also saw a lot of Buzz Kilman billboard. It's actually billboards for The Drive with Eric Clapton but he looks like Buzz. |
| 7:08
| Steve's going to try to do a staff dinner every month, it makes him feel more like a regular guy. Plus he likes everyone he works with, it's the best crew he's ever had. |
| 7:09
| Steve was swearing so much at dinner last night that they had to shut the door to the room they were in. That wasn't enough though so they had to turn the music up in the room. Steve has a feeling that was old people complaining to waiters, not Danny. |
| 7:10
| Danny came back and opened the doors and turned off the music. He's a cool guy, one of the original Lettuce Entertain You guys. |
| 7:11
| Steve was thinking of Gene & Georgetti for the next staff dinner and maybe Medieval Times after that. Buzz feels he should save Medieval Times for a special occasion. Otherwise people will be expecting that level for every staff dinner. Where's the jousting they'll ask. |
| 7:12
| It was nice that Buzz could make it last night though. Steve joked that it was good Buzz showed up because it was his turn to pay for dinner. Danny actually picked up the check which he didn't have to do. Steve felt bad so he left the waiter a big tip. |
| 7:13
| Buzz will have to go back soon because they have pot roast which is one of his favorite dishes. As soon as he got there though Danny was recommending the St. Louis style ribs so he had to go with that. Steve heard that recommendation and also went with them. |
| 7:14
| The cream soda was also flowing for Buzz last night. He asked for birch beer and the guy gave him the beer list. Then he clarified he wanted cream soda, which is on tap. Danny was disappointed that Steve didn't have cream soda when he first got there. He said he got a whole barrel of it for him. |
| 7:15
| Steve only ate half his ribs but he had a lot of that chop salad. He gave his ribs to Brendan and then took home two pieces of coconut cream pie which he ate last night. |
| 7:16
| Steve ate one and then got up and got the second piece. Even though dogs couldn't believe he was going for the second piece. |
| 7:17
| Yesterday was a nutritional problem for Buzz. All day we had all the food you can't say no to. Donuts, pastrami sandwiches and then L-Woods. |
| 7:18
| Time for today's web poll question, "do you use made up words?" Yesterday's web poll, of course, was "are you forgetful?" It was pretty much 50/50. Steve has something from Online Spin, controversy served fresh daily. |
| 7:19
| It seems to be a site devoted to online advertising. There's a central site where you can go to look up all the made up terms that people involved in online advertising make up. |
| 7:20
| The site is a wiki, like Wikipedia, called Addictionary where you can add your terms. Some of the old terms include "DINKs" (dual income, no kids) "Millennial" which is a new term for people coming of age around 2000. |
| 7:21
| Some of the funnier terms include Wiitard which describes a person who is incapable of holding a Nintendo Wii properly or even less capable of playing a Wii game. That would be Steve. |
| 7:25

| 7:26
| Your odds are pretty good in this St. Patrick's Day Millionaire drawing. Steve got his odds down pretty good last year when he bought 10 tickets. |
| 7:27
| Ben Gay is here with sports. Buzz was hoping to run into Ben at the dinner last night but he wasn't invited. He's in the same group with Bob and Ron, he's a once-a-weeker. |
| 7:28
| Pat Boyle wasn't invited either which Ben takes as a very good sign. Or maybe he was invited and he couldn't make it. Let's talk to Pat right now actually. Ben's just letting him know that he intends to replace Pat on the show. |
| 7:29
| Pat's on early because he's going on vacation. He's only been on the show for 4 months so it doesn't seem like he even deserves a vacation. Pat's using Buzz and Tubby. If Buzz wants to be used, let Ben do it. He'll walk away with a smile on his face and his pants undone. |
| 7:30
| Pat's going to Disney with the family. It's not Ben's fault he went hetero, got a family and spilled his seed everywhere. It's going to be a lot of work for Pat though. |
| 7:31
| This is why Ben won't get married. You take care of your kids and change their diapers then you get old and they won't change your diapers. Ben knows how it works. |
| 7:32
| Pat will be back on Tuesday, if Ben hasn't taken his place. Ben will be here for Buzz on Monday and Tuesday. |
| 7:33
| Ben should probably have Pat's theme on now since it's still technically his segment. Ben has to say he loves the music though, he'd love to go dancing with Pat sometime and hear it. |
| 7:34
| Pat's so lanky, he's probably a great dancer. He must really whip that torso around when he gets a few drinks in him. |
| 7:35
| Ben's going to bring up some topics and he'd like to hear Pat's thoughts on them. He's going head-to-head with Pat to prove he's better. As Steve said yesterday the Bulls should trade Ben Wallace and they did. |
| 7:36
| They had to sweeten the deal with a second round draft pick as well. It was a complicated deal because they had to get the salaries to match up. They also traded Joe Smith though. |
| 7:37
| They just replayed the Comcast Sportsnet Awards last night where they honored Joe Smith. Ben was watching, that Steve Dahl is handsome. Buzz has to help him get into his pants. |
| 7:38
| The Bulls picked up Drew Gooden and Larry Hughes. Ben Gordon says he's very excited about it. Ben gets the impression that a lot of people didn't like Ben Wallace. He was always showing up late. |
| 7:39
| We've got the NFL Combines this weekend in Indianapolis, that's Ben's vacation this weekend. While Ben's there he should try to talk Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith into drafting some wide receivers. |
| 7:40
| Ben can't get within 500 feet of either of them, there's a restraining order. They seem to be pinning their hopes on Rex Grossman, there's a guy you want for your team. |
| 7:41
| The Bears didn't franchise Bernard Berrian but they've made offers to him and Lance Briggs. Jerry Angelo said that he's not going to let other teams dictate what he does in terms of Lance Briggs. That's how the league works though. |
| 7:42
| There aren't many great free agents out there this off-season. Bernard Berrian and Rex Grossman are some of the best options out there which isn't saying much. |
| 7:43
| Ozzie addressed the full squad yesterday in Arizona. Players joked that he swore about a thousand times in the meeting. That's probably not too far off from the truth, he likes to swear. |
| 7:44
| Ozzie would never make it in radio, you'd be using the dump button on him too much. That actually happened last year on Mike North's show. Do we have that in the archives? |
| 7:45
| Pat has some audio of new White Sock Orlando Cabrerra talking about his time in Montreal with Ozzie. During one game he saw Ozzie catching up on his sleep in the dugout. |
| 7:46
| Finally, Brent Kowalski, the guy who charged the mound at the Cubs game last year after Bob Howry gave up a three-run home run has been banned from Wrigley for 2 years. |
| 7:47
| 2 years doesn't seem that bad, especially considering how Ben is banned from many ballparks and stadiums. |
| 7:48
| Well have fun in Disney World Pat. Ben likes to go down there for Gay Day and just take in all the sites, visit the Enchanted Castle. Does Ben have any tips for Pat? |
| 7:49
| Ben has a tip for Pat! How old are Pat's kids anyway? They're 1 and 4, that's too young, they're not going to remember anything from this trip. He's just wasting money. |
| 7:50
| Pat's flying Southwest so he might run into some people that Ben has dated. |
| 7:51
| Ben certainly enjoys working with Pat. Pat knows that Ben's tape is on Jim Corno's desk so he's checking it out. He said the quality of the tape wasn't great, it looked like Ben made it in his basement or something. |
| 7:52
| If that doesn't work out though Pat is sure NBC is looking for a new sports guy. |
| 7:53
| Ben has the audio of Ozzie on the Mike North show if Pat would like to hear it. |
| 7:54
| It's funny that Mike North yells at Ozzie for swearing and then borderline swears the entire time. |
| 7:55
| Well have fun at Disney World Pat, even though your kids won't remember it at all. |
| 7:56
| Ben's had sex on the It's a Small World ride which is exciting because it's not that dark in there. There's something about animated dolls singing that turns him on. It was with a stranger too, just some guy sitting next to him in the boat. He tried to have sex on Space Mountain and almost fell out of the car. People, do not unstrap yourself on that ride. |
| 8:02
| Steve never got to that dictionary of made up words which is part of the web poll. Ed has a good one at Dahl.com, ginormous. That's a a made up word. An Aflaction is an affliction covered by your Aflac insurance. |
| 8:03
| Comcastic, that's a made up word. A flatulens is a lens that makes...Steve doesn't like to use that word even though it's in his blog. It makes gas visible. Why would you want a lens like that? |
| 8:04
| These words are sort of all over the place. A telemartyr is a telemarketer that sacrifices all of his or her dignity to get you to buy what they're selling. |
| 8:05
| Bromance is another made up words. Matthew McConaughey and Owen Wilson are having a bromance. They're not gay though. |
| 8:06
| Connectile dysfunction is the sudden loss of internet connectivity that results in frustration and embarrassment. |
| 8:07
| Cereal offender is someone who takes an item off the shelf in a store, later decides they don't want it and puts it in some other random location. |
| 8:08
| Guess what it is Buzz? It's the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell and it's Taco Weekend Kickoff which means Steve and Buzz eat tacos, much to the dismay of Penny downstairs. |
| 8:09
| Steve learned on Wednesday that Penny told Todd Cavanah that she didn't like hearing them eat on the air. Then Todd questioned Steve on the wisdom of eating on the air which Steve found disturbing. |
| 8:10
| Steve got a lot of emails from people defending him and Buzz. Steve's going let Buzz finish up and then we'll come back and do some news. Buzz doesn't want to eat and talk on the air any more after what Penny said. |
| 8:11
| Steve thought Buzz was stronger than that. It makes Steve want to do it more but he's an iconoclast. Buzz was actually singled out as the most annoying but if it's any comfort Janet said Steve was more annoying. Thanks for calling! |
| 8:12
| Steve doesn't think Buzz's eating is annoying. To Steve it's a sign of Buzz opening up because he's usually very guarded. It means something when he's eating and talking on the air in front of all those people. |
| 8:13
| Once again if Todd were to ask anyone on this show if there's anything Steve does that they'd like him to change, they'd say no. But Penny's down there volunteering stuff. |
| 8:19
| Steve and Buzz are having a bromance. How's Buzz enjoying it so far? |
| 8:20
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 8:21
| Steve's going to the Escoffier Society dinner this weekend with Patrick Bertoletti as his date. It's another bromance Steve is having. |
| 8:22
| Patrick sent an email saying he's very excited about the dinner and he bought a tux for the event. He also sent along a picture of him in the tux. He looks good in it but it's a bit Edwardian for Buzz. |
| 8:23
| It's just a standard tux that you have for a wedding. Why does Buzz have to take the kid down like that? |
| 8:24
| It's pretty similar to the tuxes Steve and Buzz got. Although they have the sweet tuxes from Mark Shale which probably cost more than Patrick makes in a year. |
| 8:25
| Buzz has yet to wear his tux except around the house. He's thought about wearing it to his new Mexican restaurant but it's upscale enough where they might not get the joke. |
| 8:26
| It's a nice tux that Patrick is wearing though. If there was any tail to pull he might be able to pull some. |
| 8:27
| That needs to change though, there are no women at these Escoffier dinners. Everything Hans invites Steve to is a sausage fest. Although Hans is never without a girlfriend. |
| 8:28
| The highlight of every Blackhawks game for Steve is when Hans and his girlfriend come down during the intermission and she bends over to talk to him. Although since Steve mentioned it on Wednesday she was then sweatered up on Wednesday night. |
| 8:29
| She wanted to take a photo fo Steve and Hans but that just draws attention to you. She kept covering the flash with her finger and although Steve didn't want to take the photo he couldn't help but pointing that out. |
| 8:30
| Buzz would like to go to Steve Dahl Radio Icon night though. Plus they're playing the Ducks, he wants to see that. |
| 8:31
| Eddie and Jobo dropped the puck on Wednesday and there was a lot of booing. Although Steve likes them so maybe he just felt bad and thought the booing was worse. |

| Todd said that Eddie and Jobo were prepared to be booed and were happy because the two players from the Blackhawks and Wild who participated in the puck drop knew who they were. |
| 8:33
| Buzz probably just wants to go to the game to see Steve get booed. He'll probably leave right after the puck drop. |
| 8:34
| Steve thinks he and Patrick will have fun at the dinner though. At first Steve thought it was a big deal that he was missing the Oscars but he watches them every year and doesn't really talk about it. Plus he hasn't seen any of the movies nominated. |
| 8:35
| Does Steve really have to wear his medallion to the dinner though? He feels uncomfortable about that. Buzz feels that once he experiences the power of the medallion he won't be able to take it off. |
| 8:36
| Steve can't remember if he wore it last year. There are guys with sashes at the dinner though, they outrank him! Buzz feels there will come a day when Steve has his sash and he'll put that on too because he'll have the fever. |
| 8:37
| Chef Hans promised Steve he wouldn't have to speak at the dinner though. Hans often has Steve slated to speak at things. Hans likes to speak even though no one can understand him and he always tells jokes that aren't funny. |
| 8:38
| Hans also told Steve that Jesse White wouldn't be there. Hopefully his girlfriend Cookie will be there though, Steve had fun sitting next to her last year. |
| 8:39
| The food that the chef from the Palmer House was describing on Wednesday sounded really good. Although the way they work the courses you're not stuffed when you leave. |
| 8:40
| Steve likes to be stuffed when he eats. He might have to stop at McDonald's on the way home. |

| Last night at the show dinner at L-Woods Charlie Trotter's came up. Buzz mentioned that one of the highlights of his life was eating at Trotter's and his name was at the top of his menu. The same thing happens with the Fresh Diet menu, Steve's name is right at the top. It's very important to what they do. |
| 8:48
| Fresh Diet bought out Balance for Life and it's way better now. |

| Drew Peterson says it's unbelievable that Will County authorities are ruling his third wife's death as a homicide. |
| 8:51
| Drew's attorney, Joel Brodsky, reminds us that there are conflicting pathology reports in Kathleen's death. |
| 8:52
| If she was drownded Drew would like to find out who did it. He's got a lot on his plate now between that and finding Stacy, You can see why he gets out of the house so much. |
| 8:53
| Drew's hoping to find someone to watch the rugrats this summer, get an RV and follow Jimmy Buffet on tour. He's got a 30 gallon blender for making Margaritas in. |
| 8:54
| Drew's dream is that Stacy returns because he could get in trouble for this other thing. |
| 8:55
| One of the byproducts of this whole thing for Buzz is all the fun songs from Drew. He likes Have You Seen Her in particular, he finds it especially moving. |
| 8:56
| What would really work out best for Drew is if Stacy killed Kathleen and then put herself in a blue barrel. |
| 8:57
| Is there any chance of getting that Dating Game off of Steve and Buzz? He doesn't want to offer himself to another station but he might have to if he doesn't get some tail soon. |
| 8:58
| Security detail at Barack Obama's speech on Wednesday in Dallas stopped searching people for weapons an hour before he was to speak. You'd think they would at least have people open their bags in Dallas, they don't have a great track record down there. |
| 8:59
| Hillary Clinton accused Barack Obama of plagiarism last night in the Democratic debate. She needs to stop doing that, it's not Presidential. |
| 9:00
| She's starting to become like some crazed chick when you come home at 4 in the morning. You're drunk and she's berating you because she has to be up at 6. |
| 9:01
| Ted Kennedy, addressing a group of Hispanic Obama supporters in Nevada decided to sing a few words in Spanish. |
| 9:02
| It sounds like Kennedy is singing in Hebrew, not Spanish. That's not going to win over any voters. Steve's pretty sure there aren't that many Hispanic people who are Jewish. |
| 9:03
| From our celebrity bureau, it's a boy and a girl for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. They'll sell photos of their children for $6 million. |
| 9:04
| Jim Schwantz, very unfortunate name, is running for mayor of Palatine. Buzz has the connection with the current mayor up there, Rita Mullins. |
| 9:05
| Steve met Rita Mullins at the airport, she's always wearing hats right? And he knows Jim Schwantz, he's a nice guy. |
| 9:06
| And in some unfortunate news the Bears are raising ticket prices. That's always a good thing to do after a losing season. |
| 9:07
| Steve has some more of that Ted Kennedy tape from Nevada. It sounds more like Spanish but he seems hammered. |
| 9:08
| Buzz has never heard singing worse than that. He's trying his hardest though and he's singing Guadalajara which is a pretty famous song. |
| 9:09
| If Steve were HIspanic though he'd probably feel like Kennedy was being condescending. He thinks he can just go out there and sing Guadalajara and people will vote for Obama? |
| 9:10
| Steve had a story he wanted to share but he needs a second to find it. In the meantime can we talk about the invisible fence? |
| 9:11
| What's the deal with this fence on the border of Mexico? Is it like the invisible fence Steve has for his dogs? |
| 9:12
| A 28 mile virtual fence will use radars and surveillance cameras to try to catch people entering the country illegally. That makes a lot more sense than a real fence. The only reason the Berlin Wall worked is because there were guys with guns every 10 feet. |
| 9:13
| Boeing will build the virtual fence and will extend it to other areas of the Arizona border and sections of Texas. |
| 9:14
| As of February 8th, 295 miles of fence had been constructed and it's already working. |
| 9:15
| On February 13th an officer in Tucson noticed a group of 100 people or so gathered at the border. Agents on the ground and in the air were notified and 38 people were caught. |
| 9:16
| The beauty of a virtual fence is you can say it's wherever you want it to be. It's like the dog fence in Steve's front yard. At some point they learn not to cross the fence so you don't even need the collar or the fence. Not to compare people to dogs but it's the same concept. |
| 9:17
| The fence includes surveillance towers every 98 feet that are equipped with sophisticated technology including radar, sensor devices and cameras that can distinguish people from cattle. |
| 9:18
| What some people really want is an actual fence that stretches across the entire U.S. border but that doesn't seem feasible. A virtual fence makes much more sense if you have the technology. |
| 9:19
| Caller Mo is wondering what would happen if two people got into a cow costume and tried to cross the border. That's why Steve and Buzz are looking to open up a costume shop down there. |

| From Wausau, Wisconsin, a state appeals court has upheld a Superior man's conviction for having sex with a deer. |
| 9:26
| The 3rd Court of Appeals rejected Bryan Hathaway's argument that the charges should be dismissed because the law against committing an act of sexual gratification with an animal does not apply if they're dead. |
| 9:27
| Hathaway, 21, pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor a year ago. 21 and he already has to have sex with a dead deer? Plus you have to think he's sort of a marked man in Superior, Wisconsin. No one is coming over to his house for venison sausage. He was sentenced to probation that required him to be evaluated as a sex offender. He probably has to register as a sex offender if he moves near a deer park. |
| 9:28
| In January Hathaway was sentenced to 9 months in prison for probation violations that include using alcohol and marijuana and having contact with a minor. |
| 9:29
| Hathaway told investigators that he saw a dead deer in a ditch in the the fall of 2006 and he rode a bike by it. Since he's there he might as well. He dragged the deer into the woods and had sex with it. |
| 9:30
| When he was done he was upset with himself. He knows it's wrong, he can't help himself and he needs help. |
| 9:31
| Hathaway was questioned because he was on probation and living in a transitional living program when he returned covered in blood and hair with a knife. |
| 9:32
| In 2005 Hathaway was found guilty of felony mistreatment of an animal after he killed a horse with the intention of having sex with it. |
| 9:33
| Buzz is always amazed at the weird things that go on in Wisconsin. It's just a stone's throw away but anthropologically it's very different. |
| 9:34
| This story is sort of convoluted, Steve would like a better timeline of the events. |
| 9:35
| He has a more local version of the article. The story has thrust Superior, Wisconsin into the international spotlight. Oops. |
| 9:36
| We do learn that Hathaway's middle name is James. You know you're in trouble when they give your middle name. An appeal was filed on Hathaway's behalf in November saying he had been charged with a nonexistent crime. |
| 9:37
| His lawyer said that the statute defines animal as a living being. Steve started all his essays in school with "Webster's defines..." |
| 9:38
| Would this guy be satisfied by a possum that's just playing possum? Because they don't move. Hathaway's previous attorney brought up the same argument about the dead animal. |
| 9:39
| Imagine waking up on the day you have to make that argument on behalf of a total loser. |
| 9:40
| It has to be a nightmare to be an animal in Wisconsin. Either people are hunting you or trying to have sex with you. |
| 9:47
| Steve got confused by that story but he thinks he's figured it out. Hathaway was living in a halfway house coming off the horse killing. |
| 9:48
| Then he got busted for the deer thing. Buzz just wants to be on record saying it's wrong. |

| There are some calls on hold, animal related of course. A guy had sex with a steak?! That can't be illegal. |
| 9:51
| That was probably the guys argument. Steve doesn't ever want to see that in his life. Don't ruin steaks for him. |
| 9:52
| Caller Mark will be asked certain questions by Steve and then he will respond, OK? |
| 9:53
| First of all, what kind of steak? Mark doesn't know but it was a big one. Was it a filet, a sirloin? A bone-in ribeye? A rump roast? A butt steak? Turns out Steve didn't really need Mark. |
| 9:54
| Then there's Lisa in Stickney who met someone who was arrested for having sex with a tiger. That has to be challenging. |
| 9:55
| Caller Lisa will be asked questions by Steve, she will answer. She was visiting a breeder of tigers and dogs. She went there because her dogs wouldn't breed. |
| 9:56
| Already she's volunteering more than Steve asked for. She said where the guy worked but Steve took that out. It was in Wisconsin though. They should just have all of their animals taken away though. |
| 9:57
| Steve's going back to Lisa for one more question. Lisa took her dog to this person knowing they had sex with a tiger? Lisa found out later from an article in the Tribune and she was shocked and appalled. |
| 9:58
| Steve's guessing if we went back to the steak guy it would be in Wisconsin too. The guy probably has a sweet nickname now like T-Bone. |
| 9:59
| How would anyone even know about someone having sex with a steak unless they saw it or the person bragged about it. |
| 10:00
| Remind Steve to never go to that guy's house for a steak fry. He doesn't even want to know what happened to the beef tongue. |
