| Is Annie Lennox a lesbian? Buzz doesn't think so but he's not sure. Steve was in the Gay & Lesbian Pride Parade one year, as a lesbian himself. He went as Terri Hemmert. |
| 5:31
| Steve was riding in a Hummer (get it) and in front of them was a van full of lesbian dog groomers. It seems like lesbians gravitate towards the dog grooming, there are a few lesbian dog groomers out by Steve. |
| 5:32
| Buzz didn't know that but he doesn't have a dog. It's not like he goes to a lesbian dog groomer by himself. Although there are people who would probably pay good money for that service. |
| 5:33
| The dog groomers kept playing the same Annie Lennox song over and over again. But maybe she's just a hot chick. She's a good singer too. |
| 5:34
| Last summer Steve was coming back from Iowa, one of those times he was rehearsing with The Nadas, and XRT was playing an Annie Lennox show. Steve found it to be quite enjoyable even though when it first came on he said "I don't want to hear this crap!" |
| 5:35
| Steve had an Annie Lennox song in his iTunes but at some point it felt gay for him to have it. He didn't delete it though. Steve's computer crashed a while back and he spent more money recovering the hard drive files than he did on the computer. |
| 5:36
| Adam is supposed to be in charge of all of that and when Steve tries to play a song in iTunes it's not there and he has to find it. So then he gives the computer to Adam and tells him to find all the songs. But there are 10,000 songs so he probably only does a few. |
| 5:37
| Then Steve tries to talk to Ed and he just points out that this is why he doesn't let Adam update the website. Meanwhile Ed's also complaining that he doesn't have time to do everything Steve needs him to do. That's because Ed won't let anyone help him. |
| 5:38
| The song Steve was looking for is No More "I Love You's". Steve's just going to play a sample, he doesn't want to have to have a post-show meeting and therapy session with Todd. Todd's crazy by the way. |
| 5:39
| Yesterday a lot of people were complaining about the abundance of lame songs on the stream. We can't play the same commercials on there that are played on the air and the breaks on the stream weren't fully sold so Todd had to put in more songs than normal. |
| 5:40
| Then he explained to Steve that he takes all the songs that aren't normally in the rotation and plays them during the break. So that's why it was really egregious stuff like Boy George. It's comforting in a way to know that's not part of the regular rotation though. |
| 5:41
| But Todd also explained that it had to be 80's music because of The Drive and it's better to play that then Led Zeppelin or something. What is he talking about?! Steve doesn't know why he has to have a conversation about that with Todd. |
| 5:42
| So then Todd suggested they play Best Of material during the breaks. That's fine but Steve also suggested they play some of his songs. Todd looked at him like he was crazy. They can't play Steve's music, he's a 70s guy. |
| 5:43
| Steve went out to Hawthorne with Todd on Friday and he was not hooked up at all. When Steve got there Todd was just standing under a monitor. He didn't have a table hooked up for him or anything. |
| 5:44
| Luckily Steve knows the people at Hawthorne so he tracked down the owner's son and got them all hooked up. Then Todd won money because he bet on a horse that had Jack in the name. |
| 5:45
| Todd might be a little cheap though because he walked all the way across the parking lot to save on the valet. Meanwhile Steve's car was waiting right out front when he left. Todd's from Montana, he's probably used to the cold. |
| 5:46
| It was fun though, Steve likes going to the track. And he likes Hawthorne because it's old school. It's right in the middle of an industrial area which is also cool because you can't believe all that is happening right there. |
| 5:47
| So No More "I Love You's", Buzz knows that one right? Steve's ashamed that he likes it. It's a good song though, does it make Steve gay? Only he'd know for sure. |
| 5:52
| We might need to set up that drop better. It's a recording that Buzz made at a recent gig and he brought it in. Why does Buzz say it's not good quality, it almost sounds like surround sound. He might want to upgrade a bit. |
| 5:53
| Buzz was playing a gig with Fish and the Bluefins last Tuesday and after one song a guy spoke up and said "Is that all you got?!" Can we hear that again? |
| 5:54
| That's depressing, there's only one person clapping. If Steve played a gig like that he'd go home and kill himself. But Buzz looks forward to it. It's kind of like a Woody Allen movie. |
| 5:55
| Song: No More "I Love You's", Annie Lennox |
| 5:59
| She's a good singer and she has good people playing with her. Steve liked the live version he heard on XRT better. Plus he likes thinking of Todd Cavanah waking up and hearing that on his little station, wondering if we're Fresh FM. |
| 6:00
| They're just down the hall from us. How lame is that station? They've got cloth banners in the studio to remind them who they are. They've upgraded to cloth, pretty soon the logo will be on mugs. |
| 6:01
| And for any ladies out there who might listen to that morning guy on Fresh FM, he's not handsome. He sounds handsome but he sort of has a big nose. He seems like a bit of a twerp. Steve tried to be nice to him the first day but he sort of got blown off. |
| 6:02
| Is Buzz ready for some news? Are we going to talk about the prostitution and New York's governor? Because Steve has some problems with that. If he's spending that much money on a prostitute, he expects to not get busted. |
| 6:03
| News with Buzz |
| 6:04
| First the good news and no, that Kristen is not coming to town. Joe Francis is out of jail in Nevada but he'll be heading to Florida to face Federal charges. Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! He's a whiner and a crier too. |
| 6:05
| New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's political future is in question after he revealed his connection to a prostitution ring. He's known as Client #9 in wiretaps. |
| 6:06
| Just so everyone knows, Steve is not Client #10 from Chicago. He did not order up Chrissy from L.A. But maybe it's Ed Silha? Spitzer said he'll take some time to spend with his family. |
| 6:07
| He was on the road! DC is 90 miles from New York right? He had to make about 10 calls to get his money to them. Didn't they think he was good for it? Then the guys running the ring were stiffing the girls so they broke bad and started up this federal probe. |
| 6:08
| The worst thing the governor did is dragging his wife up in front of the cameras with him. She seems to think she looks good in teal because she also wore it at his inauguration. She's a good-looking woman though and this doesn't mean she did anything wrong. He's just being a guy, on the road. |
| 6:09
| At least one New York Congressman doesn't support Eliot Spitzer. Steve fully supports him. |
| 6:10
| That guy was also involved in a recent probe with radio payola. So he seems like a bit of a jerk. That being said, what kind of V.I.P. service is it where you get busted? |
| 6:11
| So Steve is not Client #10 although how great would it be if he was? That's the kind of publicity we need to put us over the top. Should Steve just say he's Client #10? |
| 6:12
| He must be a jerk because usually in these things they don't reveal who the John is. This is what he gets for not hitting on his staff in the Governor's Mansion. |
| 6:13
| The Smoking Gun has photos of some of the girls in the ring on their website. Once again it seems like a bad prostitution ring though. It's all based on the girls thinking they're not getting paid. |
| 6:14
| NASA's shuttle launch went off without a hitch, it was just the second to take place in the dark at 2:28 am. Steve TiVoed on the HD channel, he's looking forward to watching it when he gets home. It's a big day planned for Client #10. |
| 6:15
| Mark Suppelsa has rejected a new contract offer from Fox 32 and is leaving the station. Buzz thinks he's going to CBS. Steve saw the worst newscast of his life on 32 over the weekend. |
| 6:16
| It was Nancy Pender, who's alright, and Michelle Guillen who's bad. Pete likes her hair. Steve's not saying she isn't cute she's just bad. She's like a deer in the headlights. "Hamana, hamana, hamana" then Nancy Pender takes over. |
| 6:17
| Then Corey McPherrin comes out and you can tell he's going to school her after the broadcast. Take it from the Corester, you gotta relax. |
| 6:18
| There was one point where they were getting ready to go to that Bill Foster guy and Guillen was trying to vamp. It got so bad that Nancy just put her hand over Guillen's mouth. If Steve was Mark Suppelsa he'd leave based just on that. |
| 6:19
| A Minnesota lawmaker proposed a fragrance-free educational plan to stop students from dousing themselves in cologne or perfume. The shocking thing about this to Buzz is that the smell comes mostly from boys, who douse themselves in body sprays like Axe. |
| 6:20
| That's the new thing for guys. They think that body spray is an OK substitute for a shower. Brendan does that. Buzz isn't a fan but with all due respect he's 60! And Steve is 50, it's mostly guys who are in their 20s. |
| 6:21
| Brendan wears it but it's not overpowering. It's like a deodorant/cologne for your whole body. You mainly spray it about your torso. Doesn't it burn your willy? It seems like a shower would be better. It's very French though. |
| 6:22
| Britney Spears will be getting a $1,500 weekly allowance. She's going to need more if she keeps leaving cars on the side of the road. Maybe she could supplement her income with some high-priced prostitution. |
| 6:29
| Live read: Joebees |
| 6:30
| Steve's on Joebees now, can Buzz tell? He can't yet but he'll keep his eye out. |
| 6:31
| Caller Lisa is a high school teacher and she knew everything Buzz was saying about body spray before he said it. It's Axe and everyone uses it. It's not a cologne, it's not a deodorant. Do they spray it on their willies? It seems like it would sting. |
| 6:32
| A lot of guys use it right after gym instead of showering. Lisa's not sure if they spray while naked. She probably shouldn't know that though, it'd be inappropriate. |
| 6:33
| The girls don't like it either because it's so overpowering and they use so much of it. What's the point of using it if girls don't like it? |
| 6:34
| It sounds like Fabreze for the male body. All the TV commercials show women going nuts over it but apparently they don't like it. Maybe that's why nothing's happening for Brendan. |
| 6:35
| Steve had a teacher in grade school who was allergic to perfume. Kids used to bring some into the classroom, pour it on the carpet and watch her break out. You really don't want the kids to know your weakness. |
| 6:36
| Steve hates high school kids. He almost killed one at a Bears game this year. He picked something off the buffet, sniffed it and then put it back. Steve said "you didn't just do that did you?" and the kid said no. Steve called him every name he could think of hoping he would go get his dad and he could beat him up. |
| 6:37
| Time for today's web poll. Yesterday's question was "are you a gadget person?" and the results were 50/50. What are the odds of that? |
| 6:38
| Today's question is "what do you like on your hot dog?" The options are "the works (Chicago style), onions, mustard, sauerkraut, chili, cheese and catsup. That's Ed trying to seem more refined. Steve prefers the ketchup spelling. |
| 6:39
| Not only is Ed a wine snob ut apparently he's also a tomato snob. And he's Client #10. |
| 6:40
| Businesses in Chicago are stepping up their hot dog game. Dion Antic, creator of Iggy's, Harry's Velvet Room and Toast is opening his new Rockstar Dogs today. He invented toast? |
| 6:41
| Rockstar Dogs will feature hot dogs like The Flaming Lip, The Poi and the Tommy Lee, a foot long. The Flaming Lip, do you really want to remind people that hot dogs are made of lips? It's probably named after the band but still. |
| 6:42
| This place will be closed in about a month. Antic is looking to make his hot dog stand more interactive. He says every hot dog stand has a hook. Really? Because some of them just serve hot dogs. |
| 6:43
| If Steve wants entertainment he'll got to the Weiner Circle. He might show up at this place but probably not. The rudeness of Weiner Circle or the carhops at Superdawg are their hooks. |
| 6:44
| Are those really hooks? At the Weiner Circle there was probably just some girl with a bad attitude. They've always been nice to Steve though. |
| 6:45
| Rockstar Dogs is eco-friendly too, the Mercedes that delivers hot dogs is powered by vegetable oil taken from restaurant fryers. |
| 6:53
| Do people really say catsup? When Steve looks up ketchup it's not spelled catsup. |
| 6:54
| There was s troubling moment during that last break when Buzz went out to sniff Brendan. He did not like the body spray. |
| 6:55
| Steve has some Axe Body Spray. He's not sure if his boys use it, he tries not to pay attention to their hygiene. |
| 6:56
| This is Axe Vice, is that a new flavor? Brendan uses the original but sometimes he rotates a new one in. If Steve sprays it on himself will it come off? He doesn't want it to be with him all day. |
| 6:57
| Caller Adam is wondering if Steve's ever heard of Hot Doug's. That's not one of those things you can't say on the air is it? Steve's just kidding. |
| 6:58
| He's never been although he's had some food. It's a place where the guy makes his own fancy hot dogs. Steve didn't really like it, he just likes a regular hot dog. Steve had a ribeye hot dog but why doesn't he just order a ribeye? |
| 6:59
| Steve's just saying, he has no problem with a regular hot dog stand. He doesn't need some weird sausage made for him. He doesn't live in Bucktown though, maybe he's not cool enough. If you've got body spray on and you like Hot Doug's that's fine, Steve's not trying to take it away from you. |
| 7:00
| They do have regular hot dogs but then they get into some weird stuff. Maybe if you were eating more hot dogs you'd want to break out and try some different varieties. Buzz doesn't eat hot dogs all that often so when he does he just wants a regular hot dog, maybe with chili. |
| 7:01
| Now that Steve's looking at the menu it doesn't seem so bad. Part of it could have been that he had Hot Doug's when he was recording that White Sox song. It seems like the recording studio is going to pay for it but then Steve ends up paying for Steve Albini and a bunch of metalheads from Indiana to eat hot dogs. |
| 7:02
| Someone asks if they should get lunch and you think the studio is springing for it but then you get the bill for your time and there's extra money for lunch. You think Steve Albini's paying for it but he's just standing there in the jumpsuit he puts on for recording. |
| 7:03
| It's not Hot Doug's fault. When Steve looks at their menu it doesn't seem that weird. They do have a sausage-of-the-week that's venison or something. And on Saturdays they fry the french fries in duck fat. |
| 7:04
| What actually happened was that Steve had to go let the dogs out and as soon as he left they ordered a $300 lunch. By the time he got back his fries were soggy. |
| 7:05
| Caller Matt advises Steve not to get arrested in Melrose Park. Steve wasn't planning on it but what happens when you do? |
| 7:06
| The police station is next to a hot dog stand and if you get arrested they go over and get you a hot dog for lunch. That doesn't sound so bad. Can you get whatever you want on it? |
| 7:07
| Steve imagined that call going differently. Steve thought the silver lining of being arrested in Melrose Park was the hot dog but Matt pitched it as a negative. Buzz is dying for a hot dog now. Steve wants one too. |
| 7:08
| Should Steve take more hot dog calls? There are thousands of stands in Chicago so the call will just keep coming and every one has it's own story. That's OK though. |
| 7:09
| None of those hot dog places will be open any time soon though and Steve and Buzz will keep getting hungrier and hungrier. |
| 7:10
| There's a place Steve's been meaning to check out, he saw it on the Food Network. There's that show with the blond guy and he goes to different drive-ins and diners. Steve can't remember that guy's name but he won some sort of competition. |
| 7:11
| Guy Fieri is his name and he's sort of sold out and is now on T.G.I. Friday's commercials talking about the best burgers. He's going to all these places throughout the country but then he says T.G.I. Friday's is the best? |
| 7:12
| Then they had that Tyler Florence guy from Food Network on Applebee's commercials. He's a guy who goes out and finds difference recipes but Applebee's is the best? And nothing against either of those places, they're both fine. |
| 7:13
| But there's this place Guy Fieri went to called White Palace Grill. Steve's passed by it many times and he didn't think it had that kind of food in there. Steve thought about stopping this morning but it's the kind of food that would put you right back to sleep. |
| 7:14
| Caller Monica's favorite hot dog stand is Gene & Jude's in River Grove. Steve's been there, it's good. But it seems like all the hot dog stands serve the same food. It's more the experience than the food. |
| 7:15
| The fries at Gene & Jude's are unique, they're real potato fries, not frozen or anything. And don't even try to say ketchup in there, they won't even give it to you on your fries. Really? It doesn't belong on hot dogs but Steve likes his fries with ketchup. |
| 7:16
| Buzz has been getting a new hot dog at the movie theater, it's huge. Anything he says after this will mean nothing. He loses all credibility when he recommends movie theater hot dogs. |
| 7:17
| Steve's Client #10, did Monica know that? Spitzer's #9 and Steve is the #10 from Chicago. |
| 7:18
| Monica's right about the ketchup at Gene & Jude's. Our own Jim kid says they won't even give you ketchup at the McDonald's next door. We gotta get some hot dogs up in this biatch, as the kids say. |
| 7:25
| Live read: Super Cycle Show |
| 7:26
| The White Palace Grill is at Canal and 12th Street. Their episode of Diners Drive-ins and Dives was on this past weekend. Steve really wanted to go but the food would put him to sleep, |
| 7:27
| He wouldn't be able to control himself and he'd order something like pot roast. Down! Goes! Dahl! We'd never hear from Steve again, he'd just wander on the train tracks and get it. |
| 7:28
| Caller Amanda is calling in about Guy Fieri. She's saying his name Italian-style, that's how he says it. She thought he sold out too but he's just promoting a Food Network show called Ultimate Recipe Showdown. |
| 7:29
| The winning recipes are being served at T.G.I. Friday's and he hosts the show. Steve's not saying there's anything wrong with T.G.I. Friday's but at the end he says he's the best burger he's ever had. Although he says that at every restaurant he goes to. |
| 7:30
| Steve doesn't have a problem with Applebee's either but Tyler Florence is on there saying it's the best food in the world. This is a guy who went to Italy to find the original recipe for tomato sauce! Steve gets the feeling Food Network doesn't pay diddly-squat though. |
| 7:31
| Amanda loves listening to the show now that it's on in mornings. She didn't get to listen before though. |
| 7:32
| For being a new listener Buzz is going to give Monica a DVD from his collection, the John Schneider classic Lake Placid 2. |
| 7:33
| Steve is going to spare Buzz the phone call from the guy who used to work at the movie theater telling him not to eat those hot dogs. Buzz is one of the only people to eat hot dogs, that's what the guy is trying to say. So they're not fresh. Buzz never heeds those warnings though. |
| 7:34
| Caller Kevin used to work at a movie theater. His friends used to bet on how long it would be until someone ordered a hot dog. The longest was over 5 hours. To Buzz that's just a well-done hot dog. He's like a hot dog cockroach. |
| 7:35
| Top Chef Chicago is on Bravo tomorrow, that should be interesting. And apparently that Gordon Ramsay guy was out near Steve filming an episode of his show. |
| 7:36
| Steve and Buzz will be Riva's at Navy Pier on Monday for St. Patrick's Day. It'll be their second-to-last remote. The last one will be Arlington, why does Steve keep saying yes to these things? It's hard enough just getting here. |
| 7:37
| Gordon Ramsay took over a restaurant near Steve that needed to be taken over. It used to be very popular but then it was bought by new owners. The last time Steve went in there it was depressing. |
| 7:38
| You don't find out that he's taken over a restaurant until after he's gone. He did invite some locals to sample the new menu but Steve wasn't one of them. He's a local dignitary and he's a fan of the show! He's more important than the mayor of LaGrange! |
| 7:39
| Caller Julie saw Gordon Ramsay at the Brookfield Zoo. Why wasn't Steve notified about any of this? He was there on National Pig Day with the owners of Cafe 36. |
| 7:40
| What do they do for Pig Day at the zoo? It's mostly for kids. Do they slaughter a pig in front of the kids? They could use that thing the guy uses in No Country for Old Men. |
| 7:41
| Song: Drops of Jupiter, Train |
| 7:46
| That's your Train right there. It's Eric & Kathy's favorite band. Steve's sending that out to Kathy who's probably at home right now listening. She's on maternity leave. |
| 7:47
| Kathy and her husband Burt just adopted a new baby. Why do you take maternity leave if you adopt a kid? Do they put it inside you and pull it back out? That seems painful and unnecessary. |
| 7:48
| Maternity leave, that doesn't even make sense? But there's a lot of stuff Steve doesn't get. He wouldn't be trying to get someone else's kid. He's got three of his own that he's trying to get rid of. |
| 7:54
| Yesterday Steve's trainer called at 5:15 am to say he couldn't make it in. He said there was someone sick in his family although Steve thinks he was just out all night on Sunday. |
| 7:55
| Steve can't prove it but why would you make that call at 5:15 am unless you were getting ready to pack it in for the night and didn't want anyone calling you. So Steve didn't workout at all yesterday and he felt bad about himself. |
| 7:56
| Today is Pilates but she never cancels on him. He's her special project, he'll be hanging upside down on a bar today. It's sort of like going to the barbershop because she talks to you through the mirror. |
| 7:57
| Brendan has the week off from the Matt Dahl Show because Matt's on vacation. He's taking a vacation from his unemployment. Steve told him that he needs to kick it into gear when he gets back, even if it means getting a real job. Steve thinks they're both talented but sometimes it just takes a while. |
| 7:58
| Steve got Brendan a pass for the week in the V.I.P. lockerroom and it was awesome. Steve wanted to know if Buzz and Brendan ran into each other but they didn't. Steve has noticed that Buzz walks the entire gym like a panther. |
| 7:59
| Brendan did get involved in a pick-up game and it seems like none of the guys are members. They're just black guys who come in off the street because they know the manager. There was one guy in his Au Bon Pain uniform. You can't make enough money working at Au Bon Pain to join that gym. |
| 8:00
| Steve's going to launch a full investigation. These guys just come in whenever they want because they know the manager. And there are about 20 managers at that place. |
| 8:01
| How was Brendan's reception in the V.I.P. lockerroom? It was a little frosty, he was dressed in a hoody like maybe he didn't belong. Although he has the pass for the week so he does belong. |
| 8:02
| Brendan also saw some choice adult male nudity. There's a lot of that going on in there. Brendan's locker was just a few down from Mr. Cub too. Steve's seen his locker but he's never seen him in there. |
| 8:03
| They've got Gatorade and water in the V.I.P. lockerroom as well. Brendan took one but he was worried it was the honor system. Steve likes to think of it as free water or Gatorade even though he pays a lot to join the club. Or you could just work at Au Bon Pain and get in for free. |
| 8:04
| Did Brendan use the Q-tips or shave? He walked around in a towel for a bit though. Those towels aren't big enough for Steve. Sometimes he uses two and ties them together like Johnny Weissmuller in a loincloth. |
| 8:05
| Steve and Brendan need to coordinate their times. He doesn't want to see Brendan naked. Steve's usually there from 11 am to 12:30. His naked time is minimal, right at 11 and for no more than 20 to 30 seconds. Steve has his gym bag open and his shorts ready to go as soon as the boxers come off. |
| 8:06
| Unless Steve has the yips and he can't get his shorts on quickly his naked time is minimal. He does shower afterwards but he's careful to put the towel in front of you. |
| 8:07
| it's very easy to do that and look casual but not everyone does it. Did Brendan see any of the guys hot tubbing naked and groaning when they get in? Guys shave naked too. Mike and Matt belong to the East Bank Club, they say Neil Steinberg is one of those guys. |
| 8:08
| The worst is when the guys are naked and talking to you. Or when they sit in front of the TV, on those nice couches, naked. Don't ever sit on those couches! |
| 8:09
| Is someone really calling in to correct Steve's pronunciation for Au Bon Pain because he's not in the mood for it? |
| 8:10
| Caller Eddie's wife works at the University of Chicago hospital and they've got one of those in there. They all say Au Bon Pan with the short A. At least Steve got Eddie off his original position that he was wrong. |
| 8:11
| Eddie just knows that Steve's a stickler about that stuff, his English is always correct. That's French though, Steve doesn't care. He doesn't know either he doesn't go in there. It smells like a yeast infection to Steve. To Buzz it smells like cinnamon rolls. One man's yeast infection is another man's cinnamon roll. |
| 8:12
| So Steve's naked time over at the gym is around 11 am and then 12:30 but it's minimal. What about Buzz? He's usually over there by 10:02 am. |
| 8:13
| Maybe Buzz and Brendan could pump together. C'mon Buzz, you're the man! PUMP! Then they could enjoy a smoothie together afterwards. |
| 8:14
| The worst thing about that gym is that there's a really good Chinese restaurant right next door. |
| 8:15
| Time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. Steve would like to once again recommend the Cheesy Beefy Melt, it's back on the menu. Maybe Steve and Buzz should have one on Friday. |
| 8:16
| Pat Boyle is on the phone. Does he want Peanut Butter or no Peanut Butter? Sometimes it's too long, sometimes it hits the spot. |
| 8:17
| Busy night tonight on Comcast, they've got the Hawks and the Bulls on Comcast and Comcast Sportsnet plus. Mike Dahl told Steve that the Hawks game would be widescreen although not HD. |
| 8:18
| Is everyone showing up for the Bulls game tonight? Chris Duhon was fined again for missing his shoot around. He did not get permission to go to that Duke game on Saturday. He chartered a flight to Detroit on Sunday but then pulled the whole "never got the wake-up call" excuse. |
| 8:19
| Didn't Pat use that excuse once? In all of Steve's years of going to hotels they've never missed a wake-up call. But somehow Pat found the one hotel that missed it. |
| 8:20
| Pat was talking to the front desk woman about his wake-up call and the airport shuttle times and they got mixed up. What he need to do is make those separate phone calls. |
| 8:21
| That outdoor hockey game is not going to happen in Chicago. Gary Bettman was in town last week talking about the outdoor game. They're thinking Wrigley although Steve doesn't get why they don't just play it in Soldier Field. |
| 8:22
| John McDonough told Steve they were thinking Wrigley. Enough with Wrigley Field. How great would it be if the renovations at Wrigley went over and the Cubs had to play their entire season at The Cell. Then they'd win the World Series. You wait 100 years for a World Series and then you win it at The Cell with adequate parking. |

| The NHL is planning on having an outdoor game at Yankee Stadium but Pat doesn't understand why they don't play two outdoor games. It's just like the NHL to squander an opportunity. |
| 8:24
| Jeremy Roenick suggested that the NHL put one game per week on HBO with a ton of cameras and every player mic'ed up. Then you'd get to watch the game completely unedited. |
| 8:25
| What about Felix Pie and his twisted testicle. Where's Ben Gay when you need him? He had surgery on that twisted testicle. Who twisted it? Without the surgery he could lose it and then there'd be no little Pie's, or Tarts. |
| 8:26
| There's something Steve keeps seeing on CLTV since they repeat the stories. For Billy Crystal's 60th birthday he's being added to the team roster for one spring training game. |
| 8:27
| What's with that? Isn't that what fantasy camp is for? That's just insane. You have to hope something embarrassing happens to him. |
| 8:28
| Finally, some NASCAR news. Whenever a guy wins a race he works in all his sponsors. On Sunday Tony Stewart came in second and after the race he ripped into Goodyear for their bad tires. |
| 8:29
| Steve's never been to a NASCAR race. At Chicagoland Speedway they have a race in July and it's going to be at night. Steve was thinking about hitting that actually. |
| 8:30
| The PR guy out there is a fan of the show and he wanted Pat to invite him out to the Richard Petty Driving Experience. |
| 8:38
| There are a couple of things bothering Steve that he'd like to get off his chest, if Buzz doesn't mind. The first is about his Thought for the Day email. |
| 8:39
| The Thought for the day is "The bad news is that the Governor of New York has been caught nailing prostitutes, but the good news is that http://www.emperorsclubvip.com is now available." A joke right? |
| 8:40
| But then Steve gets emails about it, like the guy telling him the link to that website in the Thought for the Day is disabled. That's the whole point of what Steve is saying. |
| 8:41
| Steve's irritated and disappointed that some people didn't get the joke. Will he have to send out two emails? Maybe the other one could have said "Monkeys are funny." |
| 8:42
| Then there's the web poll about what people like on their hot dogs. Ed has some creative license with that and he spelled it "catsup" instead of "ketchup". But then a bunch of people emailed demanding to know why ketchup was even an option. |
| 8:43
| Then Ed changed the spelling from catsup to ketchup, making Steve look like an idiot. Everyone's working against him. Then another emailer told Steve that one condiment not on the list that he likes is pickle relish. Steve will get right on changing that. |
| 8:44
| Another emailer says that catsup is a brand name and ketchup isn't. No it's not! Look it up in the dictionary! So those are the things that are irritating Steve although Buzz is guessing there are more things. |
| 8:45
| The internet is just full of too many know-it-alls, that's the problem. Does Steve have to unlist his email address or something? |
| 8:46
| One guy suggested that the Emperor's Club website was probably flooded with hits which is why no one could get to it. Everyone got arrested! It's shutdown! That's the real tragedy to Buzz. |
| 8:47
| Actually the real tragedy is that you pay that much money for a prostitute and then you get busted. There should be a client/whore confidentiality in those situations. |
| 8:48
| When you get a $20 prostitute you deserve to be busted. But if you go through this whole process and spend all that money to keep it private you shouldn't be busted. |
| 8:47
| Steve knew that the website doesn't work and he knows people in Chicago don't really like ketchup on their hot dogs. Just pick mustard then! |
| 8:48
| People need to let go of some of these things. Everyone thinks Steve's a stickler but he's not! Buzz thinks he's a stickler but he also says Venzuela. He might be somewhat of a stickler and maybe obsessive-compulsive. Maybe he is about things like parking but not about being right. It's not as severe as it used to be. Steve would let everything go if people didn't keep taking him to task on everything. Steve has a lifelong reputation as a stickler though. He's stickled with the best of them. |
| 8:49
| A lot of times Steve doesn't even care if people have the proper subject/predicate agreement. At some point Steve decided if people can still make their point it's good enough. At least they're speaking English. |

| Caller Alexis wants to encourage Steve to go to that NASCAR driving experience. It's a blast. Would he fit in the seat? There were some larger gentleman at the event and they fit fine. |
| 8:52
| The reason Steve is phobic about the seats is because when he first got here, he went to this event at Santa Fe Speedway. |
| 8:53
| They had this event where radio personalities road in the cars of different drivers. Steve didn't fit in the seat because it was molded specifically for the driver. He was in the pole position too but he didn't want to go too fast since he wasn't in the seat properly. |
| 8:54
| It was embarrassing but Steve wasn't going to get himself paralyzed for an appearance he wasn't even being paid for. |
| 9:00
| Steve's glad to see that cop who beat the bartender back on TV. The trial is going on and they keep showing it on CLTV. |
| 9:01
| That bartender was scrappy. He had the weight and height advantage on her plus the surprise. |
| 9:02
| Caller Dave is also recommending the NASCAR driving experience. His sister used to be quite big before the weightloss surgery and she was worried that she couldn't fit in the car. |
| 9:03
| There are on doors on the cars but she was able to get in and she had a great time. So should Steve get the lapband surgery then? |
| 9:04
| Steve knows some people who got that but they still don't eat the way they're supposed to be eating. |
| 9:05
| Buzz is recommending a movie about Diamond Jim Brady. It's supposed to be the true story. He was a very big man and at one point his doctor put him on a diet of lettuce and milk or something. |
| 9:06
| He stuck with it for a while but then decided life wasn't worth living if you're only eating that. So he went his favorite restaurant and ate himself to death. |

| News with Buzz |
| 9:09
| New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is expected to resign from office within hours or maybe days. What would happen if he didn't quit. The damage is done, he's already in for $4,000, he should ride it out. |
| 9:10
| Steve thought he made it worse by bringing his wife on stage. He's trying to show that it's over and that he's going to return to his family. |
| 9:11
| It's a prostitute! Everyone returns to their family after a visiting a prostitute. |
| 9:12
| The Times Square military recruitment station bomber may have hung out at a nearby McDonald's waiting for crowds to dissipate so no one would be hurt. |
| 9:13
| An episodic slip event, also known as a slow earthquake, is taking place now in Washington. It could release as much energy as a magnitude 7 quake but since it takes place over weeks no one notices. |
| 9:14
| And there could be a Chicago connection to the high-priced prostitution scandal. Steve is actually Client #10. |
| 9:15
| Police officer Anthony Abbate is expected to enter some guilty pleas when his trial starts today. That's probably a good idea. |
| 9:16
| At least he's got a nice souvenir from his trial. |
| 9:24
| Once again Steve would like to say, as Client #10, that he expects a little anonymity if he's spending $4,600. |
| 9:25
| You have to think if Spitzer wasn't so disliked people would have covered it up for him. It's being covered up for Steve but people like him. |
| 9:26
| There's also an alleged note from the pimp to Kristen about the guy wanting to get his freak on. She said it was no problem. |
| 9:27
| Kudos to her. She took the train all the day down to D.C. to see him and she even stayed in her own room. You pay a prostitute to leave usually, unless you're Richard Gere in Pretty Woman. |
| 9:28
| There are pictures of some of the women on The Smoking Gun and they're pretty hot. Buzz wasn't able to view them but there might be restrictions on his computer. They caught him looking at porn that one time but he apologized. What else is he supposed to do? |
| 9:29
| Steve's got one of the photos on his desktop if Buzz wants to see it. Or he can just look at all of them on Steve's computer. |
| 9:30
| Suddenly $4,600 doesn't seem like that much. For some reason Ed chose to make the photo of the whore that's in Steve's blog smaller than the photo of Eliot Spitzer. |
| 9:31
| Ed's probably had just about enough of Steve today. There are ways for him to exact revenge too that Steve wouldn't even know about. |
| 9:32
| Caller Brian heard that the $4,600 was for future visits so is he going to get credited for that? |
| 9:33
| Steve read that he wanted to start up some sort of account so he wouldn't have to keep running to the ATM. |
| 9:34
| In these sort of situations you really want to find someone private. Once you get hooked up into a service you lose a lot of control. |
| 9:35
| It was actually the Huffington Post that had all the photos of the prostitute. |
| 9:36
| How about Samantha? She's a stunningly beautiful, international fashion model. She's a 5-diamond girl. Does Buzz want to know the cost on that? |
| 9:37
| For a 5-diamond girl that'll run you $1,500 an hour. Or $15,000 for the entire day. Buzz was rather pay off his mortgage. |
| 9:38
| Alana is a beautiful, charismatic, American beauty. Her winning personality and sparkling bronze eyes light up any occasion. She's a whore for any occasion! |
| 9:39
| She's also an accomplished university student. What does that mean? Is she still working at it? |
| 9:40
| Alana is only a 3-diamond girl. It must hurt if you're only 3-diamonds because they go up to 6. |
| 9:41
| Alana might be more in Buzz's prize range. He could fly her in on miles but she should know he doesn't do airport pick-ups. And only call him Julian, that's his whore-mongering name. It's also what he uses on eBay. |
| 9:49
| What the hell was all that Pete? It was from the Today's Show talking about Eliot Spitzer. |
| 9:50
| Dr. Laura was on blaming the wife for what happened. Helen Fisher is an anthropologist, she says that Spitzer's high cheek bones and pronounced brow means he has a lot of testosterone. |
| 9:51
| How can Dr. Laura know that Eliot Spitzer's wife isn't taking care of him the way he needs, so he turns to prostitution. She's just saying that to be on TV. |
| 9:52
| Steve feels bad for his daughter and his wife, who he dragged up on stage. The wife could earn 5-diamonds if she wanted to. |
| 9:53
| Steve thinks Spitzer was just acting like a guy on the road. He's in D.C., he's the governor of New York, what should he do? How about a hooker? |
| 9:54
| Steve's got another girl, Anais. She's a model, actress and superstar. She's a beautiful, educated woman with an easy-going nature. That's key for prostitutes. If you're going to have sex with people you don't know you have to be easy-going. |
| 9:55
| After training divers in Asia, she found her way to London. The girl who ratted everyone out was from London, maybe this is her. |
| 9:56
| She's natural, apparently that's a new thing they mention. She's 6-diamonds which is going to set you back a bit. Buzz is wondering if we have a similar organization in Chicago. Steve's sure he doesn't know. This might not be the best time to join if there is one. He should wait a few weeks before he puts all his information out there. |
| 9:57
| A 6-diamond girl is going to set you back $2,100. Can she break Buzz off 10 minutes of that? |
| 9:58
| Steve and Buzz are going to be at Phil Stefani's Riva on Monday for St. Patrick's day. He never found out what the prizes are going to be though. |
| 9:59
| Steve calls down to Adam's office but he's not answering. That's probably Adam not knowing and hiding under his desk. |
| 10:00
| Jill hasn't confirmed all the prizes yet so she didn't include them in the liner. Why don't we give her away as a prize? |
