| Now that's rock and roll, Van Halen for ya, good morning everybody. You Really Got Me coming off a Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant. |
| 5:32
| Steve needs to restart his computer, he forgot to plus something in. Already off to a good start. He's been here for 32 minutes and he's not even ready |
| 5:33
| Steve can't even tell you any information about that song. He can tell you about Van Halen though. He used to beat up David Lee Roth in grade school everyday. Steve's not trying to brag, he knows that's wrong. You should beat the kid up every other day, give him a chance to heal. |
| 5:34
| Steve and David did not get along at all. They fought over a girl even though neither of them were going to get anything. It was just the concept of a girl. They could have been fighting over an apple. The girls did lift their dresses up though so that was something. You know how those California girls are. |
| 5:35
| Steve restarted his computer and still didn't plug that cord in. So the girls would lift their dresses up. No one ever asked why though because it was cool. The girls would gallop around the playground like horses for some reason. A lot of people had horses in that area. |
| 5:36
| That guy up in Wisconsin who had sex with the dead deer and tried to have sex with a dead horse, he'd probably love a girl who thought she was a horse. Maybe that's where it starts. |
| 5:37
| Sometimes when they were galloping their dresses would go up and sometimes it would happen on the monkey bars. |
| 5:38
| There was one black kid in the class, Tommy Cochet. He used to call himself Tommy Cochet the (male body part) Snatcher, then he'd come up and grab you. |
| 5:39
| Yesterday we played some audio of Valerie Bertenelli talking about cheating on Eddie and doing drugs. She has yet to work out the timeline of who cheated first but Steve's money is on Eddie first. He's in a rock band. |
| 5:40
| She said she was addicted to cocaine although Steve's not sure if that's physically possible. |
| 5:41
| On the way in today Steve's radio was on The Score. Last night on the way home from the Hawks game he was listening to their post game. The team had to leave early to fly to Dallas so there was one player interview and then a bunch of calls from drunk, disgruntled Hawks fans. They just won the game but they were still mad about something. |
| 5:42
| Steve doesn't really listen to that much sports radio. He doesn't need sports explained to him by Dan McNeil and a bunch of callers. Steve was glad he was almost home when he heard the drunk callers, talking while driving. That seems dangerous. |
| 5:43
| So The Score was still on on the way in and Steve almost killed himself. He really needs to get a car starter but he can't put one in his car. He might have found something that will start the heating elements though. Steve doesn't want to wear his jacket in the car, it bums him out. |
| 5:44
| Usually Steve starts the car and then opens the garage door and goes back into the house. But this morning he didn't open the door so when he came back the garage was a gas chamber. |
| 5:45
| Steve just had a full throat clear. He's over his cold but there are still a few things that need to come out. |
| 5:46
| Yesterday Steve the engineer came by the studio to fix the problem in the studio with the monitors. For some reason you can only hear stuff from the left channel on all the studio speakers so when Steve played Savoy Truffle yesterday he couldn't hear the vocals. Some how a button had been pushed in the studio so you could only hear the left channel. |
| 5:47
| So that was fixed right after the show but to everyone here it sounded wrong. It has to be funny if you're in the car and it sounds fine but Steve thinks it doesn't. Steve thinks Pete was the one who pressed the button. Even if he didn't do it the evidence is stacked against him. It's fixed now but it made Steve sound like an idiot for about 25 minutes yesterday between the 8 and 9 hour. That's not when you want to sound like an idiot. Now is when you want to do that. |
| 5:48
| Of course whenever Steve the engineer fixes something it comes with a 45 minute explanation. He goes all the way back to the evolution of a the human finger and buttons. That's how far back he goes. |
| 5:49
| Pete is surprised the mic was swung out of the way because Steve the engineer was very meticulous about arranging all of Steve's pens and notepads. People pick the weirdest things to care about. Steve doesn't notice if his pen is in the wrong place, he notices his mic. |
| 5:50
| Then Steve the engineer gave him a holistic solution to his cold congestion. Is that solution to close his office door so he doesn't have to hear it? Steve the engineer told him to get a netty pot which sounds like something from Star Wars. It basically sounds like you waterboard yourself. |
| 5:51
| Steve has medications to take but he doesn't like taking them right when he wakes up. He doesn't know what they'll do to him. |
| 5:52
| Yesterday Steve's cold moved from his chest to his head so after the show he took some medicine for his head. He thought he was on acid. Has that happened to Buzz? Steve had a lunch meeting with some buyers and he was hallucinating. On the way home he was listening to music like he was stoned and noticing parts he'd never heard before. He had a psychedelic lunch. Steve basically just ate lunch and they watched him eat and spell things out with his french fries. |
| 5:53
| Buzz had a Sudafed freak out once although it convinced him that it was a strong weapon against colds. But he took it once before a gig and completely freaked out on stage. He ended up hiding behind an amplifier. |
| 5:54
| People don't need to call in and recommend that Steve waterboard himself. Although one guy is a cop. Cops are crazy though, they do crazy stuff. Buzz thinks you have to be to be a cop. |
| 5:55
| Drew resents what Buzz said about cops. He's just saying you have to be a little crazy to take the job. Maybe crazy to take the job of protecting Buzz's ass while he's at home sleeping in his cushy bed with his wife that didn't run away. |
| 5:56
| Steve never finished his Score story. There's a guy on overnights who does a syndicated show and he's got a very deep voice. Some guy called in and he was hammered and the host wanted to know how many drinks he had and if he was driving. He got an on-air breathalyzer from the guy. It's a stupid sports show! |
| 5:57
| The guy was concerned that there would be kids waking up on the East Coast listening to the show. You're going to get a lot of drunks on an overnight sports show. |
| 5:58
| Steve finally determined that he didn't want to listen to a guy who got to go to bed soon. That's not right. The guy is a big fish in the little pond of overnight radio so he was bossing people around. |
| 6:01
| Caller Mike is a cop. He's glad to hear he's crazy. Steve didn't say that, it was one Julian Kilman. Steve would like to see Buzz get pulled over on Lake Shore Drive and pistol-whipped for that. |
| 6:02
| Buzz actually prefers a pistol-whipping to a ticket. Mike should mark that in Buzz's driving record. |
| 6:03
| Mike is calling about the netty pot. There's no way Steve's going to stand on his head and pour water into his nose. The police department has tips for officers to prevent and deal with illness to cut down on sick days. |
| 6:04
| Mike also pours peroxide in his ears like Steve. He likes doing anything weird like that. The peroxide actually works though, Mike dated a chemist once. She was the first person to do it to him. Was that hot? |
| 6:05
| The peroxide reacts with the wax, breaks it up and it comes out of your ear. The more bubbling sound you hear the more wax is coming out. |
| 6:06
| So there was this netty pot that got recommended and the next time Mike was sick he tried it. It was gross but it really worked. |
| 6:07
| Mike knows what Steve's saying about the Sudafed though. Yesterday at lunch Steve's burger got up off the plate and put ketchup on itself. He was thinking though, who needs to cook up Sudafed into meth, it's good raw! |
| 6:08
| Drew Peterson is in New York today for the Today's Show. He should really be on the phone when he's talking then. Drew's over by Matt Lauer's right now. How's the connection? |
| 6:09
| We've got officer Mike on the phone, he's a Chicago cop. Those Chicago cops look down on the suburban police officers but Drew holds no grudge against them. |
| 6:10
| Mike always liked the colorful design on suburban police cars. Someone has to be out there rounding up deer or whatever it is they do. |
| 6:11
| Wait until Buzz sees what Drew has in store for the Today's Show this morning. Plus he's coming off a favorable court ruling. |
| 6:12
| The first time he was on the Today's Show was when he mentioned Stacy menstruating and wanting to divorce him. That swept the nation. And he said it right to Matt Lauer with Meredith Viera standing off to the side smirking at him. |
| 6:13
| The second time Drew was on Freckle Face Grape did all the talking and Matt wasn't happy about it. |
| 6:14
| But Drew's in New York again, he's going to stay over tonight as well. He might go to dinner and take in a movie. New York is known for their movies. |
| 6:15
| That's what Drew told the newspaper anyway but really they're known for their plays. He just forgot what they were called so he said movies. He can go see a movie and get dinner in Bolingbrook though. |
| 6:16
| Is Meredith Viera's husband dead? Which broad would Buzz do from the Today's Show, Meredith Viera, Anne Curry or Al Roker? |
| 6:17
| They've got a nice spread backstage at the Today's Show. Drew's in make-up now, they covered up those bags under his eyes. They're tough to get rid of, him and Hillary Clinton have the same problem. It's all this stress. |
| 6:24
| Drew's not trying to be funny, he's just keeping it real. |
| 6:25
| Steve's going to do the web poll now. He remembers what yesterday's web poll was because he has a giant box of toffees in front of him. He doesn't remember specifically what the web poll was, it was something about minibars. |
| 6:26
| The web poll for yesterday was "would you pay $25 for a bottle of water from the Trump minibar?" 98.99 said no. Steve might just to say he did. |
| 6:27
| Steve read about the contents of minibar and one of the items was this toffee that he got. It's all sealed up like it's plutonium. Steve heard from Terry via email and he called the office a few times. Steve never talked to him though, that's part of being a celebrity. Plus he didn't want this impersonation to change. |
| 6:28
| Drew's on the Today's Show right now. Or maybe they're just teasing it. It's not even 7 am yet. How weird is it that they're taking a beauty shot of him just sitting there while they explain who he is. Buzz thinks he's immune to all of that. He's heard it before, blah blah blah. If Steve were Drew he would have made a funny face. Some might argue that is a funny face. |
| 6:29
| The note in the toffee box says that Terry sent along the samples Steve missed out on. What samples did he miss out on? Terry heard about it third hand and sometimes things change along the way. |
| 6:30
| There's a lot of toffee in there. There's cran-orange blossom, is that Buzz? There's coffee toffee, lemon paradise, Terry's signature. That's probably what Steve wants. |
| 6:31
| The card in the box says "Taste a little piece of heaven." What a coincidence, that's what the cards say that Steve sends out. |
| 6:32
| Steve would like to hear that Today's Show intro for Drew again. He tilts his head just a little bit when they mention the 4th wife. |
| 6:33
| Steve put the TiVo to live and it brought him right to Blago talking about tearing down a perfectly good building and putting up a new one at NIU for $40 million. The kids just can't walk by the building so it has to come down. They've only been there for 3 days! |
| 6:34
| Then the school says they've been meaning to tear down the building anyway. So they're just scamming the state! You can't tear down every building where something bad happens. Right now there's someone living in the house where Kathleen Savio died. |
| 6:35
| This might be a good time to buy the house and include it in a Drew Peterson tour of Bolingbrook. Where does Buzz get a double-decker bus from? Steve could be a stop along the way, giving information about the historic Bolingbrook since he used to live there. "Welcome to Drewstravaganza, I'm your guide Buzz Kilman." |
| 6:36
| Caller Bob is down in Munster, Indiana. How are things down there? Luckily they didn't get hit with all that lake effect snow. |
| 6:37
| Bob asks how Buzz is doing. No one wants to cross him after Richard Roeper did. Buzz met Richard when he was giggling through his first radio show at The Loop. Now it comes out. Giggling his way through? It was his first time on the radio. Is that the problem, did Buzz pull him aside or something? |
| 6:38
| We talked to Richard a couple of weeks ago and he did not really address Buzz. All Buzz was looking for was a "goodbye guys" at the end of the phone call. |
| 6:39
| It would have been better at the beginning but even still the interview would have been conducted largely by Steve. |
| 6:40
| Bob was calling to remind Steve what he said yesterday about the toffee. There was something in the article about the toffee being available backstage at the Oscar's and Steve wondered why he didn't get any. That must have been the cold medicine talking. |
| 6:41
| Caller Josh is calling in about Terry's Toffee. Steve's working on his impersonation, Josh loves it. Pull yourself together Josh. |
| 6:42
| Josh bought some Terry's Toffee at a store near his house, it's really good. It sounds like Josh is from the well-healed North Shore. He's actually from the well-healed Gold Coast. |
| 6:43
| They have this toffee called Mozeltoffee which is really good. He would have sent some to Steve for his 30th. That's OK, Steve doesn't accept food from listeners. |
| 6:44
| Steve's going to give the toffee to Buzz and watch him torture himself over it for the next 2 weeks. He'll be pacing the hallways all day trying to decide if he should eat the toffee or eat his trail mix bar. |
| 6:50
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 6:51
| This live read needs to be proofread. First it said "Jill and Theodore" now it says "Jim and Theodore." That completely changes things then. Maybe Jill had a sex change to Jim? Can it go that way? |
| 6:52
| Time for today's web poll, "have you ever adopted a pet?" Steve's never adopted a pet, he doesn't want someone else's reject. Matt Dahl adopted a pet, that crazy dog of his. |
| 6:53
| Eventually that dog will be Steve's though. They say they screen all the dogs but it doesn't seem like they do based on what Steve's seen. |
| 6:54
| Irene Castle loved animals long before she started Orphans of the Storm 80 years ago. As a famous dancer and fashion trendsetter she toured the world with her dog Zowee and her monkey Rastas. She was accompanied by her dashing husband Vernon Castle. |
| 6:55
| While posing for a press photo with a vaudeville bear, giving it dance lessons, she was nearly mauled. That's weird, giving a dog dance lessons? The animal's trainer clubbed the animal, as well it should have. |
| 6:56
| That outraged Irene and inspired Vernon to purchase the bear and spare it further abuse. So Vaudeville lady, dance partner husband, dog Zowee, monkey Rastas, dancing bear gets beat by trainer. Does Buzz have it so far? |
| 6:57
| Maybe it was just a bear that liked to dance close and put his hands on her butt. That could be considered a mauling. The couple put the bear in a cab and took it to the Lincoln Park Zoo where it was cared for. Vernon died during WWI and Irene later married hall of fame hockey player Major Frederick Laughlin, who founded the Chicago Blackhawks. |
| 6:58
| Irene founded Orphans of the Storm in Riverwoods in 1928. Every year she made headlines with her Pooch Ball, attended by the Chicago 400 high society shortlist. Buzz is on that isn't he? This is freaky rich person stuff here. |
| 6:59
| That poor guy adopted a bear then went off and got killed in the war. Then some hockey player starts nailing his wife. |
| 7:00
| Of course his punishment is she has the animal shelter and every time she mentions it he thinks about the first husband. |
| 7:01
| News with Buzz |
| 7:02
| It could be the beginning of the end for Hillary Clinton. Yesterday Georgia representative John Lewis announced he'd be casting his superdelegate vote for Obama. |
| 7:03
| You don't really have to declare as a superdelegate yet do you? Or is Buzz just saying he's a super delegate, like he's a good guy? |
| 7:04
| Republicans have pounced on the photo of Obama in Somali garb. One Conservative group was playing up anti-semitism. |
| 7:05
| You know who he looks like in that photo? Not a terrorist but one of those guys who used to serve coffee at The Pump Room. |
| 7:06
| On Tuesday John McCain castigated an Ohio radio host who repeatedly used Obama's middle name at a rally. The guy also called Obama a hack. Buzz didn't see what the big deal was with the middle name though. He doesn't think you can get too mad. OK Buzz bin Laden Kilman. |
| 7:07
| Radio host Bill Cunningham says he's joining Ann Coulter and supporting Hillary Clinton. |
| 7:08
| William F. Buckley Jr. has passed away at the age of 82. He's credited with founding the modern Conservative movement. Steve used to do an impression of Buckley but he doesn't really remember how he sounds. It's hard to do because he's fast and he's got a tongue that flicks out like a lizard. |
| 7:09
| In other celebrity death news Buddy Miles passed away on Tuesday in Texas. Buddy Miles?! |
| 7:10
| The Boston Red Sox visited the White House yesterday. He honored the team for the second time in 4 years and poked fun at some of the players and himself. |
| 7:11
| The scene of the deadly NIU shooting may never open again. Governor Blagojevich and NIU officials want to close Cole Hall and rebuild a $40 million memorial building on that site. Has Steve mentioned how he hates Blago? He's such a tool. You can't just tear down a building like that. |
| 7:12
| They kept showing girls on the news who were crying because they couldn't walk by it. They also showed kids who thought it was crazy though. How can you say you can't even walk by it if you've only been back to school for 3 days?! |
| 7:13
| That's typical Rod Blagojevich, cloaking himself in something that you can't really get at. There are kids who were killed so you can't get to him. The state is bankrupt though and they're going to peel off $40 million for a new building?! |
| 7:14
| It's nice that the Blackhawks are wearing NIU ribbons and the Sox are wearing hats. Although Steve can't really make a connection between NIU and the White Sox. |
| 7:15
| Buzz is fascinated by the whole grief counseling thing. Steve got some mean emails about that last week after he said they drop from the sky on parachutes. There's this whole culture of grief and it's because of the media. They just stand around out there showing everything. |
| 7:16
| A 16 foot python stalked a family pet for days before swallowing the animal whole in front of two kids. |
| 7:20
| Blago's just self-agrandizing with all this NIU stuff. Maybe they'll name the building in his honor and have it shaped like his hair. |
| 7:21
| Alright we've got Drew on the Today's Show. If Steve hears one more person tell him his flu shot is no good he's going to go berserk. |
| 7:22
| They put Steve's man Kevin Tibbles on the Drew story. They've got video of his original lawyer. He looks like he's in a rock band. |
| 7:23
| Not really a rock band. Steve was going to say he looks like Marshall Crenshaw but maybe not everyone would get that. He looks like a Gen-X Buddy Holly. |
| 7:24
| Who does Buzz think is hotter, Kathleen or Stacy? Because sometimes Steve sees a photo of Kathleen and thinks she's hotter. |
| 7:25
| Buzz's vote is for Pam Bosco, the family spokesperson. He threw Steve a curveball there. |
| 7:26
| That's a nice tease they got of Drew. Maybe they're just trying to get him jacked up so he'll have to respond. |
| 7:27
| Matt Lauer did not seem happy during that second appearance when Freckle Face Grape did all the talking. Joel Brodsky is there too though. |
| 7:28
| The deal is probably that you go on the first time and get the lawyer because of that. Then the payoff for the lawyer is that he gets to do all the talking on the second appearance. Now we're back to Drew, you're gonna see what he does best. Be prepared for some magic today. |
| 7:29
| Drew's got the beard going as a tribute to Buzz. He's not shaving it until they find Stacy. He could look like ZZ Top pretty soon. |
| 7:30
| Live read: DeVry |
| 7:31
| Criminal or very unlucky is what Matt Lauer asks. Let's just take that in for a moment. After Drew, an auction for entertainment buffs out there. Is Buzz an entertainment buff? What does that even mean? |
| 7:32
| Drew's not on yet. In the meantime, Steve wouldn't mind getting that podiatrist stuff from the Tribune yesterday. |
| 7:33
| The Sun-Times has taken a really weird angle with the Tribune/Wrigley Field naming rights thing. Some of their suggestions are Depends Field or Cialis Ballpark. Would depends sponsor a stadium? Probably not. |
| 7:34
| The Sun-Times says it's the Trib versus Chicago. Steve can see why they're doing that but it's perfectly within Zell's rights to sell off the name. If Steve's Wrigley he'd just purchase the name. |
| 7:35
| Alright, Drew's on right now, let's cinch 'er up and hunker down. Let's go body language first. Joel has the pinstripe suit, legs together. Drew has a weird thing where his legs are spread, hands clasped at package. That's 29 years as a cop, he's taking a superior position on Lauer. |
| 7:36
| Lauer's knees or sort of knocked together. It could just be where Steve paused the TiVo but he looks scared. Buzz sees it as an apologetic position, he's sorry they have to do this but they need the ratings. |
| 7:37
| Lauer is sort of backing away. He's as far away from Drew as he can be while still being in the chair. Brodsky also has that look. |
| 7:38
| Savio told her sister that she feared that Drew would kill her and make it look like an accident. How can Drew respond to that? He turns to the lawyer for that one. |
| 7:39
| Matt Lauer asks Drew where he was the day Kathleen was found dead. He's bringing it today. That explains the body language. |
| 7:40
| They're getting a lot of nice close-ups of Drew with the beard and the dreamy, bedroom eyes. |
| 7:41
| Lauer reads through all the bad luck Drew has had. The second wife said she believes Drew has the means and the mind to do something to Stacy. Kathleen's sister said she feared he'd kill her and make it look like an accident. |
| 7:42
| As a cop, how would Drew view that suspect? Would he think the person killed at least one person? Drew can't even respond to that. That seems to be what he's going with today. |
| 7:43
| Matt just mentioned Steve's theory about Stacy running away with a guy. If that's true, where's the other guy. |
| 7:44
| For four months Stacy and another guy would have to disappear, not use their bank accounts, not be seen by anyone at all. The information Drew has is that she ran away with another man. |
| 7:45
| Where did he get that info? Or did he just misspeak? He's just talking about the guy at Denny's right? He doesn't know that she ran off with him. |
| 7:46
| Drew says he regrets nothing he's done over the last 4 months except letting Geraldo into his house. |
| 7:47
| Joel says that they don't have a morgue mentality like some people. Is he talking about the Win a Date with Drew stuff? |
| 7:48
| They don't take it home with them, like Steve and Buzz. That's their job, they're radio hosts. |
| 7:49
| Drew comes out smelling like a rose here. It could have gone a lot worse. Why does Steve see Buzz sending Joel a retainer fee after this? |
| 7:56
| Steve still has the remnants of his cold which is the worst part. Whenever he laughs he sounds like Precious Pup. |
| 7:57
| That was an OK Drew appearance but it hasn't been the same since he lawyered up. |
| 7:58
| Drew came out of that relatively unscathed. Now he and Joel are probably off to the Carnegie Deli to have a salami omelet and then they'll take in a show. |
| 7:59
| Steve likes the free-wheeling Drew Peterson, the menstrual cycle Drew. All we have from this one from Drew is "I controlled my family. I think more people in America should control their families." |
| 8:00
| If you go by what Drew says though he failed in that. All four of his wives have left him. And according to him his 4th wife left him for another man. As .38 Special put it, hold on loosely. What exactly did Drew control? |
| 8:01
| Lawyers shouldn't be allowed on the Today's Show. It should be a lawyer-free show. If you're going to get paid for it or at least have your accommodations paid you shouldn't bring the lawyer. Drew's a cop, he knows what not to say. |
| 8:02
| It's not the incriminating stuff, it's the inappropriate stuff that he probably shouldn't be saying. |
| 8:03
| Buzz was expecting more outrage over the state taking away his gun card. Drew has no use for guns, he's not a cop any more. |
| 8:04
| Steve has a gun but no ammo. It's probably not a good idea to have any. Although he probably shouldn't say that. |
| 8:05
| Every weekend Steve thinks about going to Bass Pro Shop and getting a gun. He's not really sure how to dive into that though. |
| 8:06
| Steve had guns as a kid and the last one he bought was from a gun club he joined. Although the last time he was at the club he drank an entire bottle of Canadian Club in a private room upstairs. |
| 8:07
| Steve got a FOID card because he had the guns, he doesn't need to be the next Tank Johnson. But because he has the card he wants to get more guns. He doesn't know why though. |
| 8:08
| Buzz doesn't like guns but he'd have a handgun if they were legal in Chicago. We all know what a crack shot Buzz is from the one time he shot a rat in a bathroom. |
| 8:09
| Buzz thinks the people at the Bass Pro Shop gun department will be very accommodating to Steve. It's just a couple of guys bonding over guns. What Steve really wants is a gun safe. He's not sure how to get that in the basement. |
| 8:10
| Steve was at Eric & Kathy night last night at the Hawks game. Not much happened though. They came out and dropped the puck and got booed. |
| 8:11
| They got booed less than Eddie & Jobo but about the same as Mike North. Steve missed their video piece though because he went to the bathroom. Steve had really good luck with the bathroom last night, he didn't have to wait once. |
| 8:12
| He did have to use the short urinal for kids once but it was open. Although when he turned around there was a kid waiting and he felt bad. The last time Steve saw the kid he was going into a stall so he must have changed his mind. |
| 8:13
| Buzz remembers standing next to his father at a urinal and being told the finer points of crossfire. OK, we don't need to hear that. It was probably a nice floor model too, they didn't have wall-mounted versions back then. |
| 8:14
| Buzz is wondering if at any point anyone referred to Eric & Kathy is icons. They're actually announced like that. The timing of the puck drop isn't great though. |
| 8:15
| The players come out and skate around and do some stretching. Then each team goes to their blue line and face the flag. So everyone stands up thinking it's the National Anthem. Then they come out for the puck drop. So it's sort of inopportune. |
| 8:16
| Steve did see a lot of leather jackets there, that's probably Eric's influence. Kathy came out during an intermission to shoot the puck and Steve's pretty sure she wasn't booed. |
| 8:17
| Steve and Matt were sitting next to guys who kept ordering beers, which they had to keep passing down to them. The server stands right in the aisle passing the beer down so she's sort of blocking your view. The guys spent 5 minutes with the server trying to figure out which beer was which. |
| 8:18
| Steve's an alcoholic, maybe he should use that as an excuse to get out of constantly passing beer down to people. Steve's never named the designated driver either. Matt says it's something you have to sign up for. |
| 8:24
| Time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. It's Lunch Date with Steve day, call in and tell him what you'll be having for lunch at Taco Bell today. |

| Steve's having a Fiesta Platter with two Rancher Soft Chicken Tacos, beans and chunky salsa. Chunky Salsa was Steve's stripper name at one point. Buzz is sorry he missed that but he shouldn't be. |
| 8:26
| Caller Annie is thrilled to be talking to Steve. He's thrilled to be talked to. Annie will be having a bit of everything today. She's having a Burrito Supreme, two soft tacos and one of those tacos that has the soft shell and then the hard shell. |
| 8:27
| Annie's in the car all day so she paces herself. She's a Taco Bell grazer. She loves when her car smells like Taco Bell. They should make an air freshener. |
| 8:28
| OK, the podiatrist. Steve knows it's from yesterday but it's important to get to. An East Dundee podiatrist is accused of providing prescription drugs to patients in exchange for sex and then videotaping those encounters. How could you not? |
| 8:29
| Bail was set at $50 million for Dr. Steven P. Loheide. He's accused of trading drugs for sex 26 times. |
| 8:30
| He's also accused of videotaping himself having sex with 29 patients without their knowledge. They were just there to have sex for drugs. |
| 8:31
| It seems like having sex with people and taping it without their knowledge is worse than the drugs but apparently not. |
| 8:32
| Loheide remained in jail after he was unable to come up with the $5 million to secure his release. Steve thought Buzz was going to take care of that. He didn't want to put the mansion up? |
| 8:33
| Buzz won't put up property. There might be a fundraiser though, he'll try to book some bands. Who would come to that fundraiser, Buzz Kilman's Footloose '08. |
| 8:34
| Is Buzz ready for some news? Steve hopes so. He thinks he's seen Jim come in here with audio but it's hard to tell. Should Steve check? Jim's quite pokey about bringing the audio in. |
| 8:35
| Steve calls down to the newsroom. Jim comes in and it takes him 5 minutes to put a CD in the player. He just wants to be in the studio hobnobbing. If he wants to be in the studio he should just come in and sit in a chair. Otherwise he's in Steve's way. |
| 8:36
| Steve gets that Jim's all the way down the hall, lonely. Steve tries to grab up as much real estate as possible up here. Beyond the Green Room Steve needs to get the engineer's office and their workshop. Steve's never seen anyone doing work in there. We could put craft stuff in there, make wreathes for the holidays. |
| 8:37
| Jim only has one cut that he was told to keep track of. This is a complicated answer. Buzz thinks we can use what we used before. So Jim's only made two trips into the studio then? |
| 8:38
| Steve only knows because the trips are so god awful. He doesn't talk to you, he looks at the floor, it's so awkward. It's like having Sling Blade in here. |
| 8:39
| Just put the thing in and then go in Pete's room and have a cup of coffee. Pete's another guy who doesn't talk to Steve all morning. |
| 8:40
| News with Buzz |
| 8:41
| Iran's president said today that his country is the world's number one power. A top Iranian cleric made a criticism of Iran's president saying a series of course slogans is not good foreign policy. |
| 8:42
| Civil rights leader John Lewis dropped his support for Hillary Clinton and will endorse Barack Obama. He's the most prominent black leader to defect Clinton's campaign. |
| 8:43
| Is this really going to hurt Hillary because Steve's never heard of the guy. Her campaign is predicated on support from the African-American community and it doesn't seem to be there. |
| 8:44
| Conservative talk show host Bill Cunningham turned on John McCain yesterday. Who could listen to that guy for his entire show? Buzz hung with the Conservative in college, this is where they're coming from. Although Liberals have a lot of bombast too. Steve doesn't like anyone with a message. |
| 8:45
| There's some question about John McCain's eligibility for President. He was born in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936. It has raised a musty debate over what a "natural born citizen means" going back to when the Founding Fathers first put pen to parchment. Did Buzz write that? |
| 8:46
| No President has been born outside the 50 states. But the Panama Canal Zone was U.S. Territory in 1936. |
| 8:47
| A Brooklyn mortician is receiving the maximum sentence as part of a plea deal for his part in masterminding a body harvesting scheme. Buzz is wondering how you have a plea deal and get the maximum sentence? |
| 8:48
| Michael Mastromarino will spend 54 years behind bars for stealing bones and tissue from funeral home corpses and replacing them with PVC pipe. The DA's office attempted to withdraw the plea deal. This sentence makes no sense. Did Jim force this story on Buzz, is he being abused down there? |
| 8:49
| Staten Island residents looking forward to a leisurely Saturday evening of dwarf bowling will have to find something else to do. The owner of Kate's Big Nose Tavern had to cancel the event after it was learned that the event was canceled. |
| 8:50
| Why is dwarf bowling illegal if the dwarves want to do it? What about freedom of choice? Steve's going to have to go back to toddler tossing and baby bowling then. And people will find that more reprehensible. |
| 8:57
| Does Pete have the other part of that McCain/Obama stuff? Obama comes back at him. It's a 1, 2, 3. |
| 8:58
| It's very shrewd of McCain to take what Obama said out of context because people like Buzz and Pete don't know the context. |
| 8:59
| Buzz is wondering if he could go back to that mortician story for a second. Of all the things that went wrong in the news that's the story that bothered Steve the least. |
| 9:00
| The mortician received the maximum sentence. The DA made the deal of 18-54 years but then a ton of civil suits were filed against the mortician. The DA wanted to withdraw it but he couldn't. |
| 9:01
| Replacing bones with PVC pipes, it doesn't harm anyone. It seems like a victimless crime. |
| 9:02
| Steve has Pat Boyle on the phone. He also has a ton of Peanut Butter Jelly themes laid out for him. Steve and Pete don't think the same way which is probably best for everyone. |
| 9:03
| Good night for the Hawks and Bulls last night, they both won. It was only the 7th time all season that the Bulls and Hawks have won on the same night. |
| 9:04
| Patrick Laline had a shut out last night. Steve leaves the game as soon as the buzzer sounds so he can be the first one out. He stayed a little bit after last night because he thought there might be a fight. |
| 9:05
| Although on the way home he always hears about how the Hawks game back on the ice and raised their sticks to the crowd. |
| 9:06
| Martin Havlat is out for the season. He's like the Mark Prior of the Blackhawks. They could have traded him at the deadline but they didn't like who they were getting in return. |
| 9:07
| The Hawks game is on Comcast tonight but not in HD. However all Cubs games on Comcast this year, road and home will be in HD. They're still working on the Sox games. |
| 9:08
| The new Bulls, Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden, came off the bench to help out last night. Meanwhile Kirk Hinrich only played 53 seconds in the second half. |
| 9:09
| What is Mark Prior doing these days? He's with San Diego. Greatest city in the world Mud! Buzz can't believe anyone would even want him on their team. |
| 9:10
| The Cubs offered him a 2 year deal but he didn't want to sign it. The bottom line is he didn't want to play here any more. At least with Woodie he wanted to get back out on the field. |
| 9:11
| Mark DeRosa is having a procedure done for his irregular heartbeat. He didn't want to take medication and something happen during the game. |
| 9:12
| They say it's a routine procedure but it involves putting a catheter in through your groin. That doesn't seem routine to Steve. They have to sedate you for that right? |
| 9:13
| Caller Joe had the opportunity to observe that procedure. They go into your upper leg area but from that point on, since there are no nerve endings you don't feel anything. |
| 9:14
| You're not out for that, they keep talking to you. So they'll be asking DeRosa about baseball and who he's seen naked on the team. |
| 9:15
| The recovery time on this is really quick though, he should be back on the field by Monday. Why didn't he get this taken care of when he was 16? |
| 9:23
| We were talking about dwarf tossing earlier and Steve has some dwarf tossing items to get to. |
| 9:24
| But first, Steve had a realization about something that he'd like Buzz and the listener's thoughts on. |
| 9:25
| Steve was describing earlier how he had good luck with the bathrooms last night at the Hawks games, he didn't have to wait at all. However the second time he went to the bathroom he used the low urinal. |
| 9:26
| Steve has always thought that was a urinal for kids but he now thinks it's for handicapped people. Because we have one up here, why would they install one of those for kids up here? |
| 9:27
| Buzz is picturing someone rolling up in a wheelchair to one of those urinals, he doesn't think that's what those are for. He would like an explanation for why they're a foot lower. |
| 9:28
| Steve thinks he's right and that dad and kid gave him a dirty look because he was using it. He owes them a dirty look now. |
| 9:29
| Caller John confirms that Steve owes them a dirty look. The ADA regulations require those lower urinals as well as lower sinks and towel dispensers. |
| 9:30
| Buzz still doesn't see how a guy sitting in a wheelchair can use a urinal. There are also guys with canes who can use them. Steve saw Patrick Kane using one, how crazy is that? |
| 9:31
| So Steve had every right to be at that urinal, just as much as that kid. Maybe even more so, Steve's almost handicapped. Mentally at least. |
| 9:32
| How about that guy out in the suburbs who got the death penalty for killing his parents, sister and brother-in-law. He said he has ADD. |
| 9:33
| From the Americans with Disabilities Act, when urinals are provided in men's restrooms the design must include a wall-hung or stall-type handicap urinal with an elongated bowl. The rim can be no more than 17 inches above the floor. Steve did notice an elongated bowl. |
| 9:34
| Although not specified in the act, several states require the urinal lip extend a minimum of 14 inches from the wall. |
| 9:35
| Had there been a handicapped person present Steve would have deferred to them or accepted their dirty look. He does have a going problem though. |
| 9:36
| Steve can't believe how uninformed he was. He always thought it was a great convenience for little kids. Buzz would still like to see the low urinal in action though. That's kind of freaky. |
| 9:37
| Steve has never seen such a thing in all his years, all the times he uses the bathroom throughout the day. A handicapped person probably prefers to go into a stall where it's more private. |
| 9:38
| That being said Steve would certainly welcome a handicapped person to use the urinal, he'd encourage him, applaud him and he might even help him. Only to the extent that he'd help him line up his chair. |
| 9:39
| Does Buzz want to get back into dwarf tossing here? Because Buzz mentioned that an event was canceled at a New York bar because dwarf bowling is illegal. |
| 9:40
| Dwarf bowling involves strapping someone to a skateboard and sending them down the alley. That doesn't sound so bad. |
| 9:41
| Caller Ronac wanted to let Steve know that dwarf tossing is illegal in Illinois. Ronac, is he a magician? It sounds like a magician name. No one has ever told him that before. |
| 9:42
| Ronac's girlfriend's father was a champion dwarf tosser. It says on the call screen it's his father-in-law. You can blame Brendan for that, he apparently performed a shotgun wedding while they were on the phone. |
| 9:43
| The girlfriend's father holds the record for dwarf tossing at the last event held in Chicago. The second time Ronac met him he told him all about it. Buzz is wondering where the record was captured. |
| 9:44
| He helped open several bars on Division which is how he got involved in dwarf tossing. He was quite athletic and so was the dwarf. You really need that for dwarf tossing. The dwarf would actually push himself out of the tosser's hands. So they're both going for the gold. |
| 9:45
| So dwarf tossing is illegal, there goes Buzz's weekend. It doesn't seem like it should be illegal, who are they protecting? Is there some sort of dwarf slave trade? It might be viewed as undignified but so is wrestling. It's not like people are being forced a gun point to participate. |
| 9:50
| Anything else we need to know from the newsroom Buzz? Any breaking stories? Not to put Buzz on the spot or anything. |
| 9:51
| There's nothing huge but there's probably something. There are always weird things Buzz likes to report on but those can usually wait. He wouldn't mind hearing George Bush joking with the Red Sox at the White House. Steve thinks he can make that happen. |
| 9:52
| Boy George has denied imprisoning a 28-year old Norwegian man at his home last year. Yumpin' yiminy! |
| 9:53
| Boy George pled not guilty to the charge of false imprisonment during a court hearing on Thursday. That guy sure gets into a lot of trouble. |
| 9:54
| Audun Carlsen claims Boy George handcuffed him to a wall after he went to the singer's apartment as a photo model. If you're going to his apartment as a photo model you should expect to be handcuffed. |
| 9:55
| Buzz is a Boy George fan from back in the 80's. He remembers hearing I'll Tumble For You and then he saw him. So Buzz would be willing to get handcuffed to his wall? He's probably looking for models. |
| 9:56
| Speaking of models that story from last week, the robbery at the Hilton, seems bizarre. The event that was robbed was a tryout for runway models. But the company charges people money to audition to become a model. They made $20,000 off that? |
| 9:57
| It made Steve think he and Buzz should start up a modeling agency. You can make that much money to maybe help people become runway models? Let's not overlook the genius of that. |
| 9:58
| In other entertainment news, did Steve happen to see quarterlife on NBC? It was hailed as a replacement for Friends but ended up drawing the worst ratings in it's timeslot for the network in 20 years. |
| 9:59
| No one's watching TV any more because we're used to not having new shows. Buzz hopes that will just help Jericho. Steve isn't aware of any new shows being on except American Idol and Lost. He's not sure what nights they're on though. |
| 10:00
| We won't be hearing any more from quarterlife though. Steve never watched it on the internet though. It's from the people who brought us Thirtysomething and My So Called Life. Steve can't condone that. Maybe My So Called Life but not Thirtysomething. That show was irritating. Any show where guys talk that much about their feelings isn't good. |
| 10:01
| Guys don't talk that much about their feelings except Pete. He's manly although he doesn't really talk about his feelings. He just watches a lot of lame shows. |
| 10:02
| Pete keeps his feelings bottled up and then there's the rage and the killing spree. So that is manly. He's manly except for that hour a week when he's watching Grey's Anatomy. |
| 10:03
| Pete's also watching Men in Trees. Steve didn't know that. My God! The Anne Heche vehicle? Pete recommends it. No thanks. Lately Steve just turns off his TV and stares at the blank screen. It's calming. |
