| That'd be your Robert Palmer there with Simply Irresistible. Is Buzz alright over there, he started off with a big sigh. Buzz just loves that song. "She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went" is one of the great lines in rock history. |
| 5:32
| Right before that song played there was one of those Jack promos where a listener calls in and says something that's a play on "Jack". It seems like there are two people who call in all the time, a guy and a girl who both sound similar. The girl was probably the queen of yesterday's Southside Irish Parade. She used to be hot when she was 13 but her face blew up like a potato. |
| 5:33
| It's all weird stuff like "Hey Jack, my friends and I listen when we're jackin'" or weird stuff like that. Steve doesn't want to hear that. He also doesn't like think of Todd and the promo guy listening to those and high-fiving each other. |
| 5:34
| The guy who calls in is always running some sort of thing like "I know you won't play what I want. So play what I don't want you to play" or something like that. |
| 5:35
| First of all, let's just say they are playing what you want. They're piping music into a room full of monkeys and picking the ones they react to. Steve would like to play some of the promos but Pete has so many of them he's not sure which is which. |
| 5:36
| Steve could just start from the beginning. The fact that the people who call in have nicknames, like Bagel John, is also wrong. If you hear phone messages like this you delete them don't you? |
| 5:37
| But Bagel John is mentioned more than Steve is. They say his name really quickly and then right into some Rod Stewart. Let's enjoy Bagel John's entire body of work, 9 all together. |
| 5:38
| Jack is not only Bagel John's favorite radio station, it's his favorite sport. Wouldn't you just delete that? And if that's the case, do you really want him touching your baked goods? |
| 5:39
| Buzz has to say that Bagel John has a Larry Lujack feel to him, just the cadence. Is that because Larry made a career of not being funny but having a delivery that sounded funny? Steve gets that but they mention Bagel John more than they mention Steve! |
| 5:40
| Steve's not sure how old these promos are though because he's never heard Bagel John identified like this. There's a chance he could be someone at the station's friend. You don't want to think about that either. |
| 5:41
| OK, let's enjoy the next one. It's some guy saying "Hey Jack, don't play my request." Who takes the time to call in and leave that message? |
| 5:42
| The next one is a guy pretending to be Drew Peterson saying he doesn't appreciate Steve's impersonation. At least this one mentions Steve's name. |
| 5:43
| All the promos are good, Pete can just play some more random ones. If you heard these messages wouldn't you call the police or something? |
| 5:44
| The next one isn't so bad, it might be one of Steve's listeners. It seems like those other boneheads might actually hate Steve and Buzz because they're messing up the jukebox. So now they have to wait 12 hours to hear Summer of '69 instead of 8 1/2 hours. |
| 5:45
| Buzz was thinking maybe Pete could just fire off promos at random times throughout the morning. Steve likes the female ones the best because she sounds just like the guys. |
| 5:46
| We need to unlist this phone number or something. You don't feel good hearing that when you're driving around. Then they go into Rod Stewart's Do You Think I'm Sexy? |
| 5:47
| The number is (877) 876-JACK. Could we go back to Bagel John? Let's complete the trilogy. Do you really want this guy touching your baked goods? Remind Steve to never eat a bagel again. |
| 5:53
| It's Blue Monday, does Buzz have any gigs coming up? Actually April 4th he'll be at the Harlem Avenue Lounge. Buzz records all of his gigs and he caught a golden moment recently. Is he making his own bootlegs? |
| 5:54
| Buzz caught a guy on tape responding to a tune. He'll bring it in tomorrow but it would have been good for Blue Monday. It'll be something to look forward to. |
| 5:55
| And of course over the weekend was Piper Kilman's fight debut. Steve was just going to ask about that. Turns out it's just kickboxing, not Ultimate Fighting. Steve thought that was a lot for a 6-year old to handle but kickboxing is still hardcore. |
| 5:56
| It was a grueling 2 round event without a moment's rest for either person. Buzz doesn't mind seeing his daughter take hits to the head, she's wearing protective gear and fighting someone her age. Steve has boys, he doesn't think he'd mind. But there's a part of him that might want to intervene. |
| 5:57
| Buzz asked Piper what she was thinking about when she was being hit in the head. She said she wanted to cry but she didn't have time because she had to keep fighting. |
| 5:58
| And it ended in a draw, a storybook ending. It was actually the only draw of the night, one girl won the first round the other the second round. Might be time to add a third round. |
| 5:59
| One of the most entertaining parts of any fight for Buzz is when the two contestants go to their corners. Usually you have one guy stitching cuts, another guy throwing water in his mouth, a guy massaging his arms and then the coach telling him what to do. |
| 6:00
| The same thing happened with Piper on Saturday. Buzz can never get her to listen to him for that long. Then afterwards they went to KFC. He had a crazy, mixed-up order. He also didn't know there was a KFC/Taco Bell combo restaurant. It's the same company, Yum Brands. |
| 6:01
| Buzz loves KFC though, he couldn't have been happier to be there. But this restaurant did not have the original recipe chicken. He would have to wait a half hour. So he stepped over to Taco Bell. |
| 6:02
| Steve likes the original recipe as well but KFC probably knows what to have ready at 7:30 on a Saturday so he and Buzz must be the only ones who like it. |
| 6:03
| There's an Enterprise Rent-a-Car that used to be a KFC near Steve. Once he went there and there was a 20 minute wait for chicken. In 20 minutes Steve could go to the store and fry up his own chicken. Another time he went there and they didn't have or even know about the chicken pot pies they were advertising on TV. It's just as well it's closed but it's good to have a KFC nearby. |
| 6:04
| Buzz used to have a KFC very close to him but now the closest one is the KFC/Taco Bell on Irving Park. It's only something for special occasions now, like after a fight. |
| 6:05
| Does the chicken still come in a bucket? Steve likes when everything is packed in there, the biscuits, the mashed potatoes and the gravy. Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's invented that bucket sign. It's good to see Wendy's get away from that guy in the red wig. That was unappetizing. |
| 6:06
| Buzz isn't a fan of that TV commercial with the Harry Caray impersonator. Steve knows that guy but he can't remember his name. He's one of those actors from Chicago who's been around forever. Every time Steve gets tricked into going to an audition that guy is there. |
| 6:07
| Buzz is wondering if they had to get permission for that. They must have if they're using his name. Pete says the guy's name is John Campanera. He doesn't owe Buzz money right? That's John Kapelos, the janitor in The Breakfast Club. |
| 6:08
| Does Buzz want to talk more about KFC or does he want to do the news? Buzz has said all he has to say about KFC. Steve will just go through the calls then. Caller John says there are some KFC/Pizza Hut combos as well. |
| 6:09
| Another caller says that KFC is very popular in Jamaica. Do they serve jerk chicken? Steve went to a KFC in Ocho Rios. There was also a jerk chicken stand where prostitutes serviced clients. They met them in the restaurant and took them out to the creek bed. It was a jerk stand in every sense of the word. |
| 6:10
| News with Buzz |
| 6:11
| Bill and Hillary Clinton apparently think Barack Obama would be a good Vice President for their ticket. Where do they get off saying Barack has no experience? She doesn't either. She was hanging out with the big boys but she didn't do anything. |
| 6:12
| Maybe she was answering the phone at 3 am and handing it off to Bill. Although it seemed like he was in it for the chicks. Maybe she was handling everything and Bill was an idiot. If so she should just say something. |
| 6:13
| Republican John McCain, who has all but locked-up the Republican nomination, referred to Washington DC as the City of Satan. Whoa. He's going fundamentalist there. He doesn't have to do that though. It turns off Steve and the fundamentalists have to vote for him anyway. It's not like they'll vote for Hillary or Barack. |
| 6:14
| Steve saw Bill Foster's victory speech over the weekend. He's so sick of Bill Foster and Jim Oberweis. And it cost $600,000 to hold that special election. They should charge Dennis Hastert since he couldn't ride it out until the end of his term. |
| 6:15
| The Senate is two years! It's probably no fun losing your gig to Nancy Pelosi but just ride it out a little bit. |
| 6:16
| Foster was up there talking about the election really sending a message to Washington. What message?! Then he brought up some dorky-looking Nobel Prize winner who endorsed him. It's one congressional district! |
| 6:17
| If you've watched the news at all in the last month all you saw was commercials for Foster and Oberweis. And then they have to go at it again in November. |
| 6:18
| A female passenger reportedly jumped off a Costa Cruises ship off the coast of Florida on Sunday. Her boyfriend told crew members she was angry and agitated before jumping. |
| 6:19
| They haven't found the woman yet. When someone jumps off a cruise ship they have a sweet maneuver to stop and turn around. Whenever Steve's on a cruise he stands next to that railing and has the urge to jump off for some reason. |
| 6:20
| Attendance numbers were down at this year's Southside Irish Parade but there were more arrests for drinking. Maybe that's why less people went, they didn't want to be arrested. |
| 6:21
| The parade is still a family event, there's a dry side and a wet side. You don't want to get stuck on the dry side. Why would people even go if you couldn't drink freely. |
| 6:22
| Big Steve was at the parade on the wet side. Steve stopped drinking but Big Steve didn't. That's why he's ballooned up so much. |
| 6:23
| Amy Winehouse's latest party trick is making people ill. She is snorting vodka. Hell yeah! She was partying in a club in the UK with Mark Ronson and Kelly Osbourne when they got 20 shots of vodka at their table. |
| 6:24
| She showed off her new party trick by necking the shot glass and then lighting the rest of the vodka on fire. What does necking mean? Is that a UK term? |
| 6:25
| So apparently the rehab isn't going well for her then? Steve's pretty sure even snorting vodka violates your sobriety. |
| 6:26
| A Manhattan pub has banned the singing of Danny Boy for the entire month. It's been called one of the most depressing songs ever written. That's right in the Irish drinking wheelhouse though. |
| 6:31
| There are no photos of Big Steve from the parade up on Dahl.com but there is a video. |
| 6:32
| Time for today's web poll. The question is "are you a gadget person?" Novice and professional chefs alike are snatching up kitchen gadgets but do they really need lettuce knives or shrimp deveiners? |
| 6:33
| Wendy Reese of Saskatchewan, Canada was sick of the end of the lettuce turning brown. She was convinced it was the knife so her husband invented a lettuce knife. |
| 6:35
| If you use the knife you can keep the unused lettuce for up to a week without it turning brown. 15 years later the Reese's still make and sell kitchen gadgets from their home. |
| 6:36
| Thousands of kitchen gadgets are available on the market. The kitchen gadget industry in the U.S. is worth just under $1 billion a year. |
| 6:37
| Kitchen gadgets have a long history. Over 500 patents for apple peelers were submitted in the U.S. in the 1800s. |
| 6:38
| What is an eggbeater? Can't you just use a fork? The eggbeater sort of looks like a unicycle with two metal whisks on the bottom. Buzz prefers a whisk, in his copper bowl right? |
| 6:39
| Steve's uncle invented the cake dome. It's not really a gadget but trying living without one. What he was really trying to do was have a cakes-by-wire service, like FTD. There would be a catalog and you'd choose what you wanted and then a local bakery near the recipient would make the cake. |
| 6:40
| That business failed but the conveyance he invented for the cakes, the plastic dome, was the silver lining. The guy is a millionaire from the cake dome invention though. |
| 6:41
| Steve's going out to visit his parents for Easter, isn't he a nice son? He's got the whole thing all arranged, he's flying out on Friday with his miles. He already has his seat assigned. He rented his car online from Hertz, a Lexus. He's got a hotel room too, he's not staying at the house. |
| 6:42
| Steve's coming home at noon on Sunday, maybe they'll be having a sunrise breakfast with hot cross buns and an Easter egg hunt. |
| 6:43
| Steve can't fly home any later, he doesn't want to get home at midnight on Sunday. The good news is he can fly out of Chicago at noon on Friday and get there in the early afternoon. |
| 6:44
| Saturday's the day Steve's going to spend most of the time as his parents. Buzz is wondering if there will be a big dinner. His brother works until 6:30, Steve was told that in an email. He'd rather go out for dinner. |
| 6:45
| Steve was counting on Pat and Rachel to be there but they're going on vacation. Pat's taking a vacation from his unemployment although Rachel works so he's going along for the ride. Maybe Steve's mom will make his favorite meal, Beef Stroganoff. |
| 6:53
| It's nice that it's pitch black and almost 7 am. That's just depressing. What's the point of having more daylight at this point, are people going to go outside and play baseball? It's still freezing out. |
| 6:54
| They moved up daylight saving for some reason, some cockamamie energy saving thing. They must know what they're doing right? |
| 6:55
| When Steve got up at 4 am today he realized it was really 3 am and that made him mad. |
| 6:56
| Steve had time to shave but he didn't this morning. He is living the dream though, he's wearing Dockers pants and a shirt. |
| 6:57
| Steve's all black today. He went with black pants because he couldn't tell the difference between that and Navy blue. |
| 6:58
| Song: Waiting on the World to Change, John Mayer |
| 7:02
| There are some devices that were programmed for Daylight Savings before they moved it up. So if you changed your VCR yesterday to the new time it'll change again in 3 weeks. |
| 7:03
| Pete has a phalanx of VCRs so he had to go through every single one and change the time. Then he'll have to do it again in 3 weeks. The Japanese programmed them and didn't know we'd be pulling a fast one. |
| 7:04
| Steve's alarm clock changed because it's hooked up to the satellite, like computers. There's one computer here that didn't change automatically. It's the one that plays all the commercials so it was putting down the wrong times. |
| 7:05
| Caller Debbie was the birthday girl at yesterday's Hawks game. Steve went to the bathroom during the intermission yesterday and when he came out Debbie and her husband were waiting for him. |
| 7:06
| Lucky for them Steve washed up after using the bathroom. He was planning on getting some popcorn so he washed his hands. He usually washes his hands since the intermissions are 17 minutes long. |
| 7:07
| Debbie and her husband both took pictures with Steve. She just wanted to call and say how nice Steve was. He would have been even nicer if her husband wasn't there. |
| 7:08
| Debbie was not at the game for Spike O'Dell Radio Icon Night. Her husband asked one of those health questions on the Blackhawks website and they picked it so they won tickets. Steve likes the team doctor because he has hockey hair. |
| 7:09
| Spike O'Dell wasn't booed yesterday but he wasn't cheered for either. Steve's been to every Radio Icon Night, everyone was booed except Steve. Eddie and Jobo were booed twice. |
| 7:10
| But then some listener decided he needed to let Steve know that he was booed for his puck drop but Comcast turned down the volume on the video that's up at Dahl.com. The volume is down because they didn't put it on the air and Steve knows he was booed. But the predominant sound was cheers. |
| 7:11
| Steve doesn't care what this guy says, the predominant sound was cheers. He did slip a bit on the carpet on the way back but so did Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull on Friday. |
| 7:12
| But Spike didn't get anything, boos or cheers. The place was full too but it was like no one knew what to do. |
| 7:13
| Steve and Mike had chicken sandwiches at the game, they're watching their weight. As Steve was running yesterday he realized he put on some weight and the neighbors would be disappointed come Spring when he's no longer wearing the fleece warm-up suit. |
| 7:14
| Usually when the neighbors see Steve they tell him he looks good or to keep up the good work. They might be disappointed when they see him. Buzz feels that after the initial disappointment they'll rally around him. Steve's blaming the new schedule, he still hasn't gotten used to it. |
| 7:15
| The case of Baby Ruth's and Butterfingers last week didn't help either. Steve doesn't know the chronology of events but a box of candy came last week to Buzz and by the end of the show it was all gone. |
| 7:16
| Steve calls down to the newsroom. At the end of the show Steve was having a discussion about engineering matters. After the yelling Jim came down and asked if Steve wanted any for the office. When he went back to retrieve them everything was gone. Who put them in the kitchen and who thinks they were sent to Buzz? |
| 7:17
| Tina brought the box to Buzz. What happened to the flow-chart? Why even have one if everything goes to Buzz? Then the people from Fresh came in and took whole boxes. It's not even their candy! |
| 7:18
| Steve calls up to the office. Tina is at Taco Bell but Stephanie says Buzz's name was on the box. It should have been changed then. What's the point of having those drills if they don't actually change the name to Steve's? Does Jim think that's funny? Maybe he wants to go to Taco Bell tomorrow. Tina's going all this week because it's her last week. |
| 7:19
| Buzz took a box of Baby Ruth's that's in the office. There was a note in there from Mike Nelson that Buzz remembers talking about. He sent it to Buzz because he remembers his name. |
| 7:20
| Buzz remembers how unique the experience of eating a fresh Baby Ruth was. When you buy it at a store it's been sitting there for a while and before that in a warehouse. It's still delicious but not all that fresh. |
| 7:21
| So that's what Steve gets for being nice to Debbie, people send stuff to Buzz who acts like a jerk to everyone. Apparently Jim took a box for his own but Buzz made them available to everyone. He assumed Steve had his own box. |
| 7:22
| 6 full size boxes of candy were gone at the end of the show, all taken by the staff of Fresh FM. Steve immediately locked down the floor and had Jim and Brendan take the boxes back. |
| 7:23
| Buzz did give a box to Thelma. He shouldn't encourage her, she's one of the worst offenders of free food. She'll take all the free food and bring it to her family reunion. If someone sent a deli tray in you'd see her leaving the kitchen with a loaf of bread under one arm and the platter in the other hand. |
| 7:28

| 7:29
| This is the time of year when Steve thinks he wants a motorcycle and wants to be on a softball team. It's probably good that both of those desires fade. |
| 7:30
| Buzz's wife always tells him he'll end up in the hospital if he gets a motorcycle. One year when he was younger he got a scooter for Christmas. He rode it for 12 hours that day and was in the hospital getting 80 stitches by that night. |
| 7:31
| It wasn't a great bike either and it didn't survive the era. It made a terrible noise when you rode it because the engine was housed in a big metal canister. So it gave that tinny lawnmower sound then. |
| 7:32
| Tyrone's checking in with some traffic. A Metra train stuck a pedestrian in Tinley Park, on the Rock Island line. They don't say if the guy is dead or not though. |
| 7:33
| The trains are back on schedule which is what you have to do. The guy's been hit already and people need to get to work! |
| 7:34
| So don't step in front of no trains, that's bad. You can't really survive something like that, especially on foot. What does that feel like? Because that train is big. No one can tell you what it feels like either. |
| 7:35
| People should know there are usually two tracks so if you cross one there could be a train coming the other way. That's his train tip for today. |
| 7:36
| Steve doesn't really care if Buzz got that candy. He can also have all of Steve's Beanie Babies. |
| 7:37
| For some reason he got an entire box of them and he's not sure where they came from. Adam might know thought. |
| 7:38
| Adam says that they came around the end of the day on Friday with no indication of where they came from. Steve's guessing they came from Ty Inc. Buzz isn't interested in taking them home, Piper has too many toys already. |
| 7:39
| Maybe Buzz needs to start nurturing Piper's feminine side a bit, it can't all be fighting. How about a St. Patrick's day bear for her? Top o' the morning to ya Buzz! He'll take that one for Piper and tell her it's from Steve. She's a big fan of his. What a smart girl. |
| 7:40
| Adam really filled in the details on the Beanie Babies. It was very mysterious and he didn't know how to follow up on that. Did Adam take any for himself? He probably has quite the stuffed animal collection with holes cut in them. |
| 7:41
| Buzz should hang on to the box and release them periodically to Piper. Then they'll think he's the most thoughtful man ever. |
| 7:42
| Steve and Buzz made fun of them last week though, didn't they say how stupid they were? Someone emailed Steve that when Ty Warner is in town he parks his plane at DuPage Airport and his security detail is Bolingbrook cops. |
| 7:43
| The emailer said Drew was never on security detail though. What's going on with Drew, we haven't really heard much from him. Last week he was driving around running errands and he couldn't stop talking about Stacy always fondling the new guns he got. |
| 7:44
| Buzz saw a story about a 19-year-old college kid who's making a documentary about Drew. He's gained access to several people who haven't talked to the media because of his approach to the subject. |
| 7:45
| According to the lawyer who Kathleen Savio used for her divorce, Stacy tried to retain him as well. She might have though better of it when she saw how it ended for her. |
| 7:46
| David Turvey is a Columbia College student, he's making the documentary. Drew calls him Topsy, like Topsy-Turvy. He's an aspiring filmmaker and he a perspiring filmmaker. He gets nervous around Drew. |
| 7:47
| He happens to be Drew's neighbor. He's a good neighbor although he doesn't like that Bychowski broad. Drew wouldn't be surprised if he's invited to the block party. |
| 7:48
| Hopefully they have a block party this year. Drew's got the 10 foot tall blender that's powered by car batteries. It makes margaritas for everyone. |
| 7:49
| Turvey started shooting at about 4 or 5 in the morning in front of Drew's house. Turvey wants to tell two stories, one about the mystery of Drew and his wives and one about how the story is being told. |
| 7:50
| The film is a work in progress, Turvey has documented volunteer searches for Stacy and the endless questions of Drew. Turvey has stayed neutral over the 5 months of this story. |
| 7:51
| Turvey said he needs to stay neutral in the middle of this gasoline fire. That doesn't sound neutral. And Buzz says he has access to Drew? |
| 7:52
| Buzz didn't say that, he has access to some people but he's not sure if it's Drew. Should Drew talk to him? Maybe he could bring some female classmates by to run the lighting or something. |
| 8:00
| Drew said rouge in that drop but he meant ruse. He did get in a nice "Valentime's day" though. |
| 8:01
| And when someone says they're a gun collector it just means they want a lot of guns. It's just a way to say that they're stockpiling. |
| 8:02
| Steve would like to play the entire Phil Rogers report from NBC5. There's footage of people saying bad things about Drew. |
| 8:03
| The audio is bad on NBC's website, there's a troubling left/right thing going on so Steve's moving on to something else. |
| 8:04
| It's time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. Manager Monday and Taco Tuesday are being switched around this week. So we could say it's Taco Tuesday on Monday or call it something else. |
| 8:05
| It's Munchy Monday today, the tacos were brought over by Tina. It's her last week. Buzz is sure that she made them special. Steve hopes they were made at Taco Bell. |
| 8:06
| Last week Steve asked people to email him how many tacos they've eaten in one sitting. One guy said 10 plus a taco salad. They go down really easy. |
| 8:07
| Steve calls Brendan into the studio. Steve's got an exciting week coming up, he gets to see Brendan naked. |
| 8:08
| Matt Dahl is on vacation so they aren't doing the webcast. Steve hooked Brendan up with his V.I.P. membership so he'll be in there this week. Brendan seems a little soft, like he doesn't work out. |
| 8:09
| Brendan's going over there mainly to get in some pick-up games. Usually the court is full of really loud black guys. Those games usually go on around noon. Last week some white guy was complaining to the black manager that they weren't following the court's sign-up protocol. It was a racially charged conversation. |
| 8:10
| It doesn't seem like anyone playing basketball over there is a member. Meanwhile Steve has to fish around for his ID every time he comes in. Steve thinks it's because he's white. Steve, Buzz and Brendan should just settle that all on the court with some 3-on-3. Steve could get Buzz into the V.I.P. lockerroom too and they could sauna after the game with their wangs hanging out. |
| 8:12
| They've got some nice amenities in the V.I.P. lockerroom. There are Q-tips, combs in blue water, deodorant, razors and shaving cream and that cologne that's in every gym lockerroom. Steve doesn't know what it's called but the logo is the guy in the top hat who looks like the Monopoly guy. |
| 8:13 | Then Steve and Brendan could go get some sushi after the game and work the chicks in there. His trainer isn't in today so he could play some 3-on-3. |
| 8:14
| Brendan also picked up a mouth guard for the basketball this week. Matt was mocking him, he said that was too much for a pick-up game. |
| 8:15
| Steve thinks Brendan will need it, those games seem pretty dirty. It also seems like the white guys go down first. Periodically you'll hear a loud yelp and then there's some pasty white guy on the ground. The game just goes on without him too, he has to pull himself off the court. |
| 8:16
| Steve thinks they need to check the IDs off all the guys playing basketball, it doesn't seem like any of them are members. They just get in because they know the manager. |
| 8:17
| Steve's thinking matching Jack t-shirts and those Jack gym bags from the Christmas party. Every time they lose they get the manager in to check the membership of everyone on the court. |

| It says "David Hochberg, our guy" in this live read. That's not authorized. |
| 8:25
| It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time with Pat Boyle. Great atmosphere at the United Center this weekend for the Hawks but they lost twice, only getting 1 point in the standings. |
| 8:26
| Losing Friday was tough, especially after all that build-up with the Bobby Hull/Stan Mikita stuff. They almost tied the game up but then the goal was disallowed because it went off Rene Bourque's hand. |
| 8:27
| Yesterday they lost 6-5 in overtime. Brent Seabrook got SCHOOLED! Steve won't go into that now. |
| 8:28
| It was a good game yesterday and Steve had a delightful chicken sandwich. And the Hull/Mikita thing on Friday was pretty cool. It seemed unnecessary to have them in the back of that car though. |
| 8:29
| The car didn't even go all the way out onto the ice and then the two of them had to get out of the car. It's hard to get out of those classic cars anyway and then it's even harder when you're in your 70s. |
| 8:30
| It's nice to have Stan and Bobby back in the fold though. It must have been really weird for Stan because he's lived here the whole time. |
| 8:31
| The Bulls were in Detroit yesterday and they lost. Chris Duhon overslept and missed shoot-around. What's wrong with the Bulls? How do you oversleep like that? |
| 8:32
| Duhon was at the Duke/UNC game on Saturday, shown on TV several times. He chartered a flight to Detroit Sunday morning but then overslept and missed the flight. Oversleeping has been a problem for Duhon in the past. |
| 8:33
| Does this happen on other teams or just the Bulls? It seems to be a problem in the NBA. That's what happens when the league is run by the players and not the coaches or management. |
| 8:34
| At the Hawks game yesterday Robbie Gould shot the puck during intermission. On the third attempt he threw the stick down and kicked the puck in. He almost made it too. |
| 8:35
| Then there was some hot chick with big boobs, that seems to be a theme. They all wear high heels too and have no problem walking on the ice. Steve's noticed they all shake their butts before shooting too. |
| 8:36
| The Bears signed Brandon Lloyd on Friday, he used to play for U of I. In his conference call with the media on Friday he told reporters that Rex was the starting QB. |
| 8:37
| Ron Turner got on the line and corrected him saying it was still an open competition. There's no way that a free agent wide receiver would sign with a team without knowing who'd be throwing to him. |
| 8:38
| So it seems like it's another bumbled attempt by the Bears to backtrack, like the Brian Griese thing. Steve hates Ron Turner. Does he think we're all idiots? We're not football players, we're not idiots. |
| 8:39
| David Haugh in the Sun-Times today said that people shouldn't read too much into this. Usually Pat's in lock-step with him but he doesn't think a wide receiver would sign with a team without knowing who'd be throwing to him. |
| 8:40
| Haven't the Bears seen how Rex has thrown over the last 3 years? Why do they always get caught up in this stuff? It's like they think if they persevere they'll be proven right. |
| 8:41
| Caller Ed is a disgruntled Bears fan. He's spent the whole off-season wondering what the Bears are doing. Then he got the bill for his season tickets. They're great tickets and all but the bill was $9,150 and they decided to add a $4 handling fee. Just for sending you the tickets. |
| 8:42
| Steve can see Virginia walking around asking how much postage is to send the tickets and then she says double it and charge people $4. |
| 8:43
| Ed inherited his tickets from his dad. Years ago his dad got 4 extra tickets on accident from the team. So he wrote a letter to the old man and told him about the mistake. He said he wouldn't mind keeping those tickets though but they didn't offer him a discount for being honest, they just sent him another bill. |
| 8:44
| They've never done anything for anyone and they never will. Steve hates to say anything though, Virginia will pull his tickets in a hot minute. That's why Ed's not saying his last name. |
| 8:45
| One final thing about getting a vasectomy and watching the NCAA tournament. The Oregon Urology Institute is suggesting you use March Madness to sit around and recover from a vasectomy. |
| 8:46
| They've set aside appointments the day before the first and second weeks of the tournament and expects to fill all of them. |
| 8:47
| After your vasectomy they clinic will send you sports magazines, pizza and a bag of frozen peas. |
| 8:48
| It seems like having a vasectomy is enough of an excuse to sit around for two days. Most people are allowed to watch the tournament anyway aren't they? If you're not you shouldn't have anything taken away from you down there, it's already been taken away. |
| 8:54
| Live read: Chicago White Sox |
| 8:55
| Steve's thinking of taking Terry Armour's mom to opening day. Did Buzz read about how the Cubs might have to play at U.S. Cellular if they renovate Wrigley? |
| 8:56
| For Steve's money a wrecking ball gets that job done. It's hard to get rid of that urine smell if they renovate. Cubs fans will just complain about the abundance of parking, too many food choices and real urinals. |
| 8:57
| The best part will be Cubs fans getting used to the video screens and then having to go back to two guys reenacting plays with wood pegs. Or will they put in new video screens? |
| 8:58
| Steve's not sure how he feels about sharing. He doesn't want someone else in his seat. If Cubs fans wanted to leave some of their hot chicks behind that would be fine. There are a lot of monstrosities now. |
| 8:59
| News with Buzz |
| 9:00
| Hillary and Bill think Barack Obama would make a great Vice President on her ticket. They don't think he has enough experience to be President. Really? Do they? Even though Barack has more delegates? |
| 9:01
| Steve gets what they're doing but it seems like it could backfire on them. It just seems a bit presumptuous. Meanwhile in an exclusive interview in Utah Barack said he's open to the idea but not as Vice President. |
| 9:02
| With the Democratic race coming down to the wire some within the party are looking for ways to make the Michigan and Florida primaries count. One idea is a mail-in vote. |
| 9:03
| The Ventures, The Dave Clark Five, John Mellencamp, Leonard Cohen and Madonna will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tonight. Madonna will not perform but will have her songs performed to her by Iggy & the Stooges. |
| 9:04
| Chicago does not test it's tap water for pharmaceuticals but Department of Water Management spokesman Tom LaPorte says the city is confident it's safe. |
| 9:05
| There has to be pharmaceuticals though right? All these other cities are finding it in their water. When Steve came in today Tina was gloating because she felt she'd finally been vindicated. |
| 9:06
| A few years ago Tina stayed way too late at Steve's house for a Super Bowl party and watched Grey's Anatomy. Steve was drinking Dasani and Tina told him it was just filtered sewer water. |
| 9:07
| Steve wouldn't mind an explanation on all of this from someone other than Tina though. |
| 9:08
| Someone sent Steve a photo of a scooter that they thought might be Buzz's. It looks a lot like the one he had. He drove it for 12 hours on Christmas, filling up twice. Then he crashed and had a huge gash in his leg. |
| 9:09
| Steve has another email he'd like to read that's troubling him. Monica writes that she doesn't want to hear any lame songs when she listens. Steve only played one song today! |
| 9:10
| Caller Barbara wanted to let Steve and Buzz know that pharmaceuticals end up in the water because the human body doesn't absorb everything. |
| 9:11
| Some how that gets into our drinking water because they can't filter everything out. |
| 9:12
| Researchers don't know the exact risks from decades of exposure to random combinations of pharmaceuticals. Recent studies-which have gone virtually unnoticed by the general public-found alarming effects on human cells. Virtually unnoticed? Is that just Mark putting his own stuff in there? |
| 9:13
| Caller Amanda doesn't like when Tina picks on Steve about the bottled water. Tina quit by the way, Steve didn't fire her. She even gave Steve a letter of resignation which was awkward. |
| 9:14
| Tina's also wrong, Steve's not drinking sewer water. Steve's talking to Amanda before hasn't he? She has something to do with water right? |
| 9:15
| Amanda actually deals with food labeling. Water like Dasani comes from a tap but it's filtered through various procedures. It's Coca-Cola, they're not going to be messing around with that stuff. |
| 9:16
| Just to be on the safe side Steve's been drinking Evian at the station. The Oberweis guy brings Dasani at home though. |
| 9:17
| Maybe now that Oberweis lost the election he can focus on getting Steve's order right. He's investing in China now. Who wouldn't invest in China?! |
| 9:18
| Steve's sick of all that water stuff. He doesn't need that from Tina at 5 in the morning. He shouldn't let her finish out the week should he? |
| 9:19
| Steve likes Amanda's attitude. He's just trying to drink some bottled water. It's way better than what he used to drink. |
| 9:26
| The bad part about the Bill Foster/Jim Oberweis thing is that it's not over. They'll run against each other again in November. |
| 9:27
| Steve doesn't know if he can take more of those ads either. They should only be allowed to run them on cable. It must cost a lot for those ads too, just for two years in Congress? |
| 9:28
| Steve's suspect of anyone who would spend that much of their own money to get elected. Plus you're only a Junior Congressman, you can't even get anything done. |
| 9:29
| Steve and Buzz will be at Phil Stefani's Riva's next Monday for St. Patrick's Day. There's a free Irish breakfast, music from the Larkin & Moran Brothers and prizes. Steve's not sure what they are though. |
| 9:30
| Steve calls down to Adam's office. He's not sure what the prizes are, they're still working on them. Should he call Jill? He hasn't talked to her in a while. |
| 9:31
| Steve accidentally called the Jack FM comment line. They're asking him to tell them what he thinks of the station. Bagel Buzz, what do you think? |
| 9:32
| Jill's not answering her phone, should he try her cell? She's not there either. Maybe she's recovering from the Southside parade. |
| 9:33
| Steve and Buzz are celebrating the real St. Patrick's day, on March 17th. The Catholic churched moved it to the 15th because it can't be during Holy Week. Steve and Buzz are celebrating the one where you get drunk on green beer and girls lift their shirts up. Guys could do it too but it's wasted on Steve. He doesn't care about nice abs. |
| 9:34
| That girl who emailed earlier about hearing lame songs when listening, she might be hearing the stream. Sometimes they play music during the commercials breaks. Whatever music it is it's probably Jacktastic, just like this one. |
| 9:35
| Song: Sharp Dressed Man, ZZ Top |
| 9:39
| Steve had to play that song because the girl complained about the music. When you do that it just makes Steve want to play more music. |
| 9:40
| Steve doesn't mind hearing the music either, he likes to squeeze in 3 a day but he only got to two today. He's going to count the first song before the show as one of the three so ZZ Top was the last one. |
| 9:41
| Live read: Joebees |
| 9:42
| Buzz might remember that Garry Meier, when he was on WCKG, was taking the Joebees bee pollen pills. High hive me! Now that's fallen to Steve and he's going to start taking them. |
| 9:43
| He'll also be using Garry's "high hive me!" line, he's not around to stop him. He'll keep using it until there's a court order to stop him. A few weeks ago when Steve was sick, the guy who owns the company, Joe Blumenthal (Joe B), told him to take some Joebees. |
| 9:44
| He said it takes a few weeks go get going so Steve can't report back yet. The pills smell like honey though and it comes from free-range bees. Steve asked the guy if all bees were free-range and he said no. Some bees are trucked all around the country but these bees are just in the wilderness. |
| 9:45
| Steve rarely gets sick but when he does it makes him mad. The real test will be when he flies to LA in a few weeks. Steve only gets sick on planes because it's all just recycled sick air. |
| 9:52
| It occurred to Steve that Buzz was right in the middle of a newscast when he threw some ZZ Top at him. It's good to break the news up though. |
| 9:53
| Buzz has found that ZZ Top goes with just about everything. Well back to Buzz in the newsroom with his apologies. |
| 9:54
| Democrats throughout Illinois are offering their congratulations to Bill Foster, science man, in his victory over Jim Oberweis, milk man. Obama said the win sends a message that people are ready for a change and Rahm Emmanuel said it's the vote heard 'round the world. |
| 9:55
| What are they talking about?! It's a Congressman from St. Charles! Bill Foster couldn't stop showing cows in his campaign ads. Jim Oberweis has too many cows. What does that even mean?! |
| 9:56
| State legislators in Virginia on Saturday passed a law that would require adults who French kiss someone under 13 to register as a sex offender. Steve's fine with that one. Virginia is for lovers but they have to draw the line somewhere. |
| 9:57
| It's depressing and it's not song in Ireland all that often, that's why a Manhattan pub is banning the singing of Danny Boy this month. |
| 9:58
| Sounds like the guy is just trying to get some free pub-licity. Are they just sticking with the Unicorn Song? Buzz is wondering what the Larkin & Moran Brothers have planned for next Monday. |
| 9:59
| Steve hopes they play that song about their trip to Ireland where someone nailed the innkeeper's daughter. It's all right in the lyrics but every time Steve brings it up they freak out because their wives are all there. They seem sort of oblivious. |
| 10:00
| Lisa Marie Presley has confirmed that she is in fact pregnant. |
