| 5:28
| As Buzz can see by the clock on the wall it's not 5:30. Steve's going to play another song, what the hell. |
| 5:29
| Buzz isn't even supposed to be here yet. These two minutes before the show are when Buzz is briefed, this is when it all happens for him. This is when we put his briefs on. Otherwise he's just walking around with no underpants on. |
| 5:30
| Song: (Don't Fear) The Reaper, Blue Öyster Cult |
| 5:34
| Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, good mornin' everybody! 34 minutes after 5 on a far-out, freaked-out, thrilling, throbbing Thursday. Steve thought he'd just play a song from his Bozoputer to make sure it works. |
| 5:35
| Plus playing that song will send Todd Cavanah into a tizzy. The other day Steve and Todd had a 45 minute conversation about the music. He loved when Steve played Train, it sounded good. |
| 5:36
| Steve told him to give him better music and Todd said they were doing research. Steve knows what people who listen to this show want to hear. Todd doesn't want to go by his gut. Look at Steve's gut, that's what he's been going by! |
| 5:37
| Now Todd is going to spend the rest of the day making sure (Don't Fear) the Reaper doesn't play for another 72 hours. So he's doing research now. |
| 5:38
| Steve likes Todd but he's just crazy anal about this stuff. Crazy Anal is a great card game too. Go fish...ouch! It's very popular in prison, anything to pass the time. |
| 5:39
| Steve keeps forgetting to talk about the songs that play before the show starts. He hopes to become the next Ryan Seacrest and have a show where he just plays songs and talks about them. |
| 5:40
| (Don't Fear) The Reaper is a song by the rock band Blue Öyster Cult . What's a blue oyster? It's from their 1976 album Agents of Fortune. It's really stood the test of time though. |
| 5:41
| The reaper is a reference to the Grim Reaper. Even Steve knew that. It's the traditional personification of death in European-based folklore. And American-based folklore too right? Death is one of the character's in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure! |
| 5:42
| Lyrics such as "Romeo and Juliet are together in eternity" led many listeners to interpret the song and being about a murder-suicide pact. Who has time to think about that? |
| 5:43
| The song was the subject of a 2000 SNL sketch in which Christopher Walken played producer Bruce Dickinson who repeatedly demands "more cowbell!" during the recording the song. Does Pete have that handy? |
| 5:44
| The name Blue Öyster Cult comes from and 1960s poem by manager Sandy Pearlman. It was part of his Imaginos poetry. Pearlman also came up with the band's earlier name Soft White Underbelly, from a phrase used by Winston Churchill describing Italy during World War II. |
| 5:45
| In Pearlman's poem the Blue Öyster Cult is a collection of aliens who got together to secretly guide Earth's history. This is right up Buzz's alley! |
| 5:46
| As Dan Tani told us last week, if you do the math there has to be life on other planets. And he's an astronaut, and an MIT grad, and a former Lombardian. It shook Steve to his very core. It made Steve question his beliefs although he doesn't really have any beliefs. Although he doesn't have any disbeliefs. He's a guy who rolls into a party and whatever people are into, count him in for eternity. |
| 5:47
| If you have expectations then you could be disappointed for eternity. Plus the whole God/heaven concept that most people have...Steve can't have that many dogs around. Everyone's dog goes to heaven, that's too many dogs. There would be poop everywhere, what kind of heaven is that? |
| 5:51
| Caller Frank was listening to Steve talking about the dogs going to heaven. He doesn't have to worry about. When Frank was a kid he asked him mom about dogs and why they get that glow in their eyes when they look at light. She said it was because dogs have no soul. |
| 5:52
| Well that's nice for him. Usually a parent will say something nice about dogs dying and going to heaven but not Frank's mom. She also told him about crows. He asked her why girls are different than boys and she said it's because crows came and snatched the part off of girls. So he was afraid of crows for a while. |
| 5:53
| Steve can understand being afraid of crows too. That's why you never see scarecrows with anything down there. It's all smooth. That seems way worse than that mother who got out of her car for 30 seconds and left her kid inside. |
| 5:54
| You could abuse kids more back in the day though. Steve heard the charges were going to be dropped against that mother. She was just getting out of her car to make a donation to the Salvation Army or something, she left the car running and the doors locked, that's not endangering a child! |
| 5:55
| Frank works for Best Buy corporate offices. Former Bull Ron Artest worked for Best Buy when he played here, just to get the discount. Steve's available in the afternoons and he looks great in that blue polo. |
| 5:56
| Charges are expected to be dropped against a Tinley Park mother of three accused of leaving her sleeping 2-year old in the family station wagon. Station wagon? You don't hear about those these days. |
| 5:57
| Ellen "Treffly" Coyne got out of her car with her other children while they donated money at a Salvation Army kettle. So she was trying to show her kids to do something nice. |
| 5:58
| Coyne will appear in court today in Bridgeport on charges of misdemeanor child endangerment. Steve's been to that court, or maybe it's the one in Markham. |
| 5:59
| Coyne's husband Tim Janecyk hopes the state's attorney will be the voice of reason here. He's angry though that the Crestwood police who busted up the family has pushed it to this point. If she's found guilty there will be a million other criminals out there named Mom. This guy's very dramatic. |
| 6:00
| The couple expected the charges to be dropped but they don't like the stigma of being accused of child abuse. Coyne and her three daughters went to Wal-Mart in Crestwood on December 8th to donate $8.29 they had collected for the annual kettle drive. This couldn't be better parenting! |
| 6:01
| Youngest daughter Phoebe fell asleep so Coyne parked the car, shut off the engine, locked the doors and activated the hazard lights. She couldn't have done more. She got out to take a photo of the girls dumping money into the bucket. |
| 6:02
| Coyne says she could see the car the entire time and was never more than 30 feet from it. Still a Crestwood police officer saw the car and arrested her. What are they doing in Crestwood?! Apparently they have nothing else to do. |
| 6:03
| In Illinois parents who leave a child unattended for 10 minutes can be charged with misdemeanor child endangerment. Shouldn't charges be based on if the child is actually injured or dies? |
| 6:04
| The case set off a debate on numerous internet message boards. Steve really hates the internet. A December 13th article about the story in the Trib was followed by more than 3,000 reader comments. |
| 6:05
| The Trib needs to stop doing that on their website too. When did newspapers become interactive? Whenever Steve has an article in the paper it's followed by a bunch of comments from people who call him fat or old. What does that have to do with what he just wrote? |
| 6:06
| Live read: Fresh Diet |
| 6:07
| Steve got home from the Blackhawks last night and he couldn't go to sleep. Finally at 12:30 he got up and ate his Fresh Diet food to comfort him and put him to sleep. |
| 6:08
| Steve doesn't remember what he was watching but it started with Craig Ferguson. That's the Ambien talking. But the food put Steve right out. He's not sure what he has for breakfast today. Yesterday for lunch was his favorite item, the Philly Cheesesteak wrap. He'd get that at a restaurant if it was available. |
| 6:09
| Steve was watching Keith Olberman rant about Hillary Clinton last night. He went off on a tirade in the last 5 minute of his show. He was mad that she didn't do a better job of repudiating Geraldine Ferraro more. It was pretty racist what she said. |
| 6:10
| Buzz disagrees. She says it was taken out of context and when you hear the context it changes things. Didn't she basically say he's only there because he's black? |
| 6:11
| She was analyzing all the minority runs at the White House. Steve thought that too but Olberman convinced him otherwise. Because Ferraro kept saying the same thing over and over again. |
| 6:12
| It just seemed like it was her job to remind what America that Barack Obama is black. Buzz doesn't think she's taking marching orders from the Clintons but Steve does. |
| 6:13
| She probably thought she was analyzing things but it also seems like it was her job to remind people that Barack Obama is black. The Clintons will stop at nothing to win but as Olberman pointed out last night this isn't going to help them. |
| 6:14
| There are some white people who probably don't want to vote for a black person and apparently they need to be reminded that Barack Obama is black. |
| 6:15
| Steve's the kind of person who agrees with whoever is arguing their point. That's why he'd be bad on a jury. |
| 6:16
| Olberman also said that the "3 am phone call" TV commercial is also racist, as if they're saying you don't want a black man answering that phone call. Steve doesn't agree with everything he said but he made a good point. |
| 6:17
| Olberman is very good at making what he's saying seem off the cuff, even though it was from a teleprompter. And he got really mad and he was on a roll. |
| 6:18
| You know Steve though, he's voting for Ron Paul. He'd like to have a President who's name sounds like he's a hairdresser. |
| 6:23
| That's Keith Olberman from last night, it was hardcore. Steve's just laying there, eating his turkey on his belly and he hears that. It was a persuasive argument though. |
| 6:24
| Live read: Joebees |
| 6:25
| Steve is presently working on making the Joebees commercial even better than before. How does he do it? Because they really elevated things yesterday. Steve's also investing .99¢ back into the show with a song he's downloading. |
| 6:26
| Buzz himself put $15.99 back into the show with his bonus DVD giveaways. Lake Placid 2 wasn't that old. Is Buzz going to try and write that off when he does his taxes? |
| 6:27
| Bee pollen has been around for centuries. That's what bees do, they have sex with flowers. |
| 6:28
| It's pretty impressive that a bee has his own company. It's really hard to answer the phones though because he's little. He tries to use the speakerphone as much as he can or else he gets his receptionist to answer for him. |
| 6:29
| The bee is dating his receptionist, she's a 29-year old human. Normally Buzz frowns on the interspecies dating. It's all because of the bee pollen. |
| 6:30
| Does Buzz want to see the stinger again? Stand back a little bit Buzz. Touch it! See how sharp it is! |
| 6:31
| There ya go, another masterpiece for Joebees. And be listening for Joe Walsh today to win Duran Duran tickets. |
| 6:32
| Steve's accusing Pete of a lackluster effort for that drop-in. Steve and Pete were trying to come up with a way to trigger then Duran Duran ticket giveaway without having to play 5 Duran Duran songs. |
| 6:33
| Steve suggested the sound of a boat capsizing because of that boat incident with them. Pete suggested a wolf howl, because of Hungry Like the Wolf. Steve said that was gay which Pete too offense to. Then he went Victim Pete. |
| 6:34
| Pete then suggested something from Rio but also said that's really gay. OK Pete! Steve thought Pete would have more Duran Duran drops but all he could come up with was an obscure drop from an MTV game show with Joe Walsh. |
| 6:35
| There has to be some great Duran Duran stuff in American Psycho but Pete didn't even look. He's just coasting on his laurels now. |
| 6:36
| So be listening for that obscure piece of tape with Joe Walsh that doesn't really make sense. Although it doesn't have to, you just have to listen for it and be the 20th caller. |
| 6:37
| The Duran Duran show is at the Rosemont Theater. Steve's recommending that you valet park and get near the entrance to the parking lot. That way you're the first one out. |
| 6:38
| Time for today's web poll. In order to check yesterday's results Steve has to go to Dahl.com and see the photo of him bald. He doesn't think he'll be shaving his head for St. Baldrick's. He'll just donate a lot of money, or he'll cure cancer in his free time this weekend. |
| 6:39
| Steve blogged a little about that today but Ed didn't put the photo of him bald in there. It's no the homepage though so it's probably not necessary. Steve's a little miffed at Ed. |
| 6:40
| Steve left the Blackhawks game a little early last night because he didn't think they'd score 3 goals and tie it up. As he was leaving he got an email from Ed that said "Where's the blog?!" |
| 6:41
| Steve sent it at 4 pm, as he always does. In the blog he mentioned that he was going to the Hawks game but that doesn't really work if the blog doesn't get posted until after the game. |
| 6:42
| Ed said he missed the email from Steve with the blog. But he didn't get any apology from Ed. And you know Ed's spam filter is set so high, it probably didn't get through. He's getting too many penis enlargement emails. |
| 6:43
| Both of Steve's computer bitches are getting on his nerves. If he wants to talk to them they want a face-to-face. Why, so Steve can watch them tremble while they talk to him? Actually it's mostly Adam trembling. Unless he has the shakes. |
| 6:44
| Steve does need to pull them into a room together though. He needs to get Ed to trust Adam more with website stuff. Ed has a lot to do and sometimes he misses stuff. But Ed doesn't want to give Adam access to "his site". Adam doesn't want access to Silha.com, it's Dahl.com! |
| 6:45
| Although Steve can see why Ed is a little hesitant. A few years back Steve had an evil officer manager who basically fired Ed and alienated Mark Czerniec. Steve's not sure what happened there but he would never let it happen again. |
| 6:46
| Steve calls down to Adam's office. It's easier for Adam if they talk face-to-face. It's not easier for Steve though. Adam has a lot to go over, there might be questions to answer. Steve can do all that on the phone. Howard Hughes ran an entire empire over the phone. |
| 6:47
| If Adam wants to hang out with Steve they can just go to The Admiral. Adam suggests having a meeting at The Admiral. That's where Steve really won't be paying attention. |
| 6:48
| They're having a meeting about the DVDs that they're working on. Does Adam have bad news and wants to hold Steve after he tells him? It's just about the money and it's a lot more than the original quote for those bobbleheads. |
| 6:49
| Adam tried to make an appointment for the meeting but he couldn't get one. That's because everyone else knows Steve doesn't want a meeting. Who put Adam in charge? Someone has to be in charge right? |
| 6:50
| Steve just wanted him to order some bobbleheads and travel mugs. This is why Ed doesn't trust Adam with the website, he's too bossy. |
| 6:51
| Approximately how much will it cost for the DVD? Adam wouldn't feel comfortable giving that number over the phone. Did he learn this in business school, always give bad news in person? Steve feels that heightens your chances of being strangled to death, that's what he learned in business school. Ed won't step in to stop Steve either. |
| 6:56
| Steve will have to get together with those boys, he wants to get that DVD out by...last Christmas. That was his goal. Hopefully it'll be out by this Christmas. Steve didn't go to college but he somehow learned that selling something around Christmas is the best idea. |
| 6:57
| Alright time for today's web poll. Yesterday's web poll question was "how long has it been since you've been bowling?" |
| 6:58
| Ed's spam filtered has to be dialed all the way up, all web/computer guys are like that. Spam email drives them crazy and a lot of them think they're internet police officers with that kind of stuff. |
| 6:59
| Ed came up with the options for yesterday's poll, he's a bowler. The numbers are way down from Tuesday's poll which makes Steve think Ed was right, it was probably just one guy voting over and over again. Who would do that? |
| 7:00
| Steve can see how that would be sort of irritating, although he likes seeing the high numbers. So Steve encourages the pollsitters, get on there and jack those numbers up. Steve's just dumb enough that he'll buy it. 300,000 responses to the web poll?! That's huge! |
| 7:01
| Buzz wanted to also mention that the America's Dog people came up here yesterday and did a really good job. That's Steve's guy Minoli. Turns out they used to share the same trainer, Cornell. |
| 7:02
| Cornell broke-up with Steve because he was late to an appointment. It happened to be the day that Steve had an important meeting here to learn that WCKG was becoming Fresh FM. Cornell still gets paid if Steve doesn't show up but he was still mad. |
| 7:03
| Steve told him he had to be at that meeting and Mary had to be there too. But Cornell just kept going so Steve told him he wasn't in the mood for this and left. |
| 7:04
| Steve came back for the next session and he thought everything was fine and then Cornell broke up with him. Mary was going to him 3 days a week but after that she couldn't really workout with him either. So he lost 5 appointments a week. |
| 7:05
| Then this Minoli guy was telling Steve that Cornell won't return his calls either because he missed a few appointments. Now they've all been lumped together by him. They don't live in a world that small! Minoli's got hot dog stands to run! |
| 7:06
| Buzz loved the presentation of the hot dogs yesterday. They were those Vienna Beef pups so everything was miniature, including the miniature hot dog cart. But had a fully loaded mini hot dog. |
| 7:07
| Steve had never met Minoli he'd just heard about him through Cornell. How do you make a living dumping your best clients? It's fine though because Steve's new trainer is better. And he doesn't make Steve work those muscle groups you've never even heard of. |
| 7:08
| Steve was never going to become a bodybuilder or anything. He wasn't going to get greased up and go to a competition or anything. Buzz was almost convinced to enter a bodybuilding competition. |
| 7:09
| There was a time years ago when Buzz was enamored with a female bodybuilder. She had a great back, her name was Ruela. Buzz doesn't always have to mention these people by name. It's like that woman over at the gym with the great ass, he keeps mentioning her name and it's causing Steve problems over there. |
| 7:10
| Buzz got to know Ruela and then Aimee got to know her and she invited them to a bodybuilding competition. Ruela won her event and then they get to the over-60 group. Two guys showed up, one of them looked great. The other guy was a little bit older but it was like they dragged him off a park bench. He is guaranteed second place though. |
| 7:11
| You could tell the other competitor was disgusted by this guy. And when they presented the awards the second place guy went to shake the winners hand and was completely rebuffed. |
| 7:12
| Buzz felt he could have definitely represented his age group better than this guy in second place but he didn't enter the competition. That's better for Steve, he'd find it unsettling if Buzz started entering bodybuilding competitions. |
| 7:13
| Today's web poll question is "has oversleeping ever cost you your job?" Buzz looked at that and remembered a few extreme oversleeping incidents but he doesn't think it ever cost him his job. Then he remembered he lost the first job he ever wanted oversleeping. It was the nightlife, he couldn't give it up. He loves the nightlife, he loves to boogie. |
| 7:14
| Did Buzz show up late and get fired or did they call him and tell him not to come in? A pattern was developing and Buzz was missing several days a week so Mr. Roberts called him over and explained they had to let him go. Buzz remembers he was eating a fried egg sandwich and he was staring at his mouth. He could see the yolk and the albumin and he thought "this is the worst day of my life!" |
| 7:15
| John Daly woke up yesterday morning and read in the paper that swing coach Butch Harmon had fired him. Then he got a phone call telling him he had been kicked out of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando because he missed the pro-am. |
| 7:16
| Daly said he was given the wrong info about his pro-am tee time so he missed it. That set off a chain reaction that knocked out two other players from the tournament. PGA tour policy says that anyone missing the pro-am is ineligible to play in the tournament. |
| 7:17
| Daly was told his tee time was 9:47 am which was actually his starting time for the first round of the invitational. Daly called Arnold Palmer to apologize but is also upset because golfers Nick O'Hern and Ryuji Imada were also caught up in it. |
| 7:18
| O'Hern and Ryuji were pro-am alternates and both thought they were assigned to the afternoon group. So when Daly didn't show they were the first names called and weren't around. They were also disqualified from the event. |
| 7:19
| Butch Harmon said he was done working with Daly because he felt the golfer was more interested in drinking than working on his game. |
| 7:20
| Steve does like John Daly though. But you have to get that tee time straight, it's really key. |
| 7:21
| When Daly called Arnold Palmer, do you think Arnold was drinking an Arnold Palmer? That's half iced tea and half lemonade. |
| 7:22
| Steve used to watch Daly's show on the Golf Channel, he seems like a complete screw-up. He's always doing stuff like being paid to hit a golf ball over Niagara Falls. |
| 7:23
| And then you see Vijay Singh hassling him for not practicing. He doesn't care though, he just grabs a couple cases of beer and gets on his jet. And he has a private jet just so he can smoke on board. |
| 7:24
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 7:31
| Caller Mike was at the Western Open a few years ago with his girlfriend. They got pretty close to Daly and he asked for an autograph. John said he wouldn't sign Mike's hat but he's sign his girlfriends. He did eventually sign the hat, he was just working it a bit. |
| 7:32
| If there were more people like John Daly golfing Steve might take it up. He does seem tragically flawed though because he has a great gift and he kind of squanders it. |
| 7:33

| 7:34
| Details are emerging about the woman involved in the Spitzer scandal. The woman has been identified as 22-year-old Ashley Alexandra Duprè. She is a New Jersey native who left her home at 17 to become a singer in New York, much like Buzz. |
| 7:35
| Has Steve been to her website because now would be the time. She's all about the music. |
| 7:36
| Steve's on her website now. She's a singing whore! How great is that? Steve should probably have the music going while he reads her bio. It's multimedia. |
| 7:37
| Ashley is all about the music, it flows from what she's been through. She lives in New York and is on top of the world. That's not all she's on top of. She left a broken family and left abuse. She left an older brother who'd already split. Can you leave someone who's already left? It seems like a lot of prostitutes were abused at some point. |
| 7:38
| Ashley has been alone, she's abused drugs, she's been broke and homeless. It started when moved in with a musician in New York and one day while singing Respect in the shower the boyfriend and his lead guitarist burst in and had her repeat the singing. That sounds like the start of another career. |
| 7:39
| She recorded for a bit with them and them moved to Manhattan to pursue her career. She sounds very plucky. Steve likes the French-sounding last name though. |
| 7:40
| Steve's seen other pictures of her, sometimes they have that on the MySpace pages. This is a music page though, Steve's not sure if they have more picks too. |
| 7:41
| She's quite a young lady and she's making a name for herself. Steve doesn't see how this whole thing is going to hurt her career either. |
| 7:42
| She's just trying to make a living while supporting her music career. And she's making $1,000 an hour. She might be in some tax trouble but she's a cooperative witness. |
| 7:43
| Steve's seen some pictures of her, she seems cute. She's $1,000 an hour cute. She's looking for a record deal, she'll probably have one by the end of the week. Steve sees Simon Cowell stepping up to help out. |
| 7:44
| Geraldine Ferraro has quit her position within Hillary Clinton's Presidential campaign. |
| 7:45
| The crew of the space shuttle Endeavor will make the first of it's 5 spacewalks tonight. |
| 7:46
| Ashley Duprè's got some nice teeth. That's not her real name though, she was born Ashley Youmans. What kind of name is that? It might be Jewish. |
| 7:47
| You know who's going to save her, The Donald. He's always saving the New York girls, like that Tara Patrick. |
| 7:48
| Dr. Jack Kevorkian plans to run for Congress in Michigan. Is it going to say Dr. Death on the bumper stickers? That might be good name recognition. |
| 7:49
| Another person is backing up actress Dawn Wells' claims that the marijuana found in her car was not hers. According to her lawyer a friend says he borrowed her car earlier in that day. |
| 7:50
| Steve just hopes it wasn't Ginger who borrowed the car. They're the only two from the show who are still alive right? |
| 7:51
| And finally from abroad (which one) a Chinese wife burned her husband to death after he got into bed without washing his feet. |
| 7:52
| Wang and Lua had been fighting since they got married and on this particular night, after drinking to calm their nerves Wang got into bed without washing his feet. |
| 8:00
| The Professor from Gilligan's Island is still alive, as is Ginger. Everyone else is dead but not forgotten. |
| 8:01
| Live read: Sport Clips |
| 8:02
| On St. Patrick's Day Steve and Buzz will be at Phil Stefani's Riva's restaurant. Sport Clips will be there from 7:30 to 9:30 giving out free V.I.P. massages. Is that just Steve and Buzz? Jill's very big on the V.I.P. areas. Steve's pretty sure everyone can get a massage. To Steve anyone who shows up is a V.I.P. |
| 8:03
| Look out for the Sport Clips girls, they'll also be giving out hot towel treatments and raising money for St. Baldrick's. |
| 8:04
| Steve's not shaving his head unless people donate a lot of money. Not just a few thousands dollars either. It would have to be more than Steve's willing to donate himself. |
| 8:05
| Steve was looking at the rendering Ed Silha did on Dahl.com of him without hair. He feels Ed didn't do the most flattering rendition, but he had to do it quickly. |
| 8:06
| Steve's head looks more bulbous and orange that it needs to be. |
| 8:07
| The copy Steve has says the massage and the hot towel is with the MVP package. Maybe it's VIP if there's no haircut? These are the things Steve and Buzz can discuss on Monday. |
| 8:08
| This copy also mentions no perfumey smells at Sport Clips. This was written by Jaime, the sales guy who doesn't seem to get a lot of things. When it says smells he just assumes it's perfume but really it's some of those harsh chemical smells in some haircutting establishments. |
| 8:10
| Caller Jean has some info about St. Baldrick's. Her husband and son shave their heads every year for St. Baldrick's. You don't pledge money, you just donate it. And it comes right off your credit card. |
| 8:11
| Steve just didn't want to shave his head, especially based on Ed's rendering, and then walk out with just a bunch of pledges. |
| 8:12
| It's time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. It's Thursday which means Steve and a listener set up a fake lunch date. You tell Steve what you're ordering and he'll get the same thing. |
| 8:13
| Anna is Steve's Taco Pal today, she's out in Arlington Heights. Things are getting warmer out there. Anna's having a Crunch Wrap Supreme, a side of rice, some iced tea and maybe nachos. |
| 8:14
| Steve did not know you could get a side of rice. Sometimes he just gets overwhelmed at Taco Bell. |
| 8:22
| What's the ETA on a shorter version of Peanut Butter Jelly Time Pete? A few months? A few weeks? Pete didn't know he wanted a shorter version. |
| 8:23
| Steve misses the days when Pete used to listen to the show. It's just tough for him to listen in the mornings. Pete always tells Steve that he preferred the show in the afternoons. |
| 8:24
| People still tell Steve they miss him in the afternoon. He appreciates that but there's nothing he can do. Yesterday on the way to the Blackhawks game Steve figured there wouldn't be too much traffic because it was 6:30. |
| 8:25
| But usually when he left the afternoon show it was after 7 and there's never traffic. It doesn't even seem like he did afternoons now though. |
| 8:26
| Steve did afternoons for 12 years too. Sometimes it's still tough when that alarm goes off at 4 am. He can't believe it when it's happening. For Buzz even just a few hours of sleep is enough to get him through the show. |
| 8:27
| Steve is thinking of canceling his Pilates though, it's the only thing he sort of dreads after the show. Buzz goes right from the station to the gym if he's working out. |
| 8:28
| On Monday Steve's trainer canceled with him so he just went home. He has gym equipment at home so he could just workout there. |
| 8:29
| But all afternoon Steve kept making excuses to not get started. By 9:30 he had decided it was too late so he had a piece of pie and went to bed. |
| 8:30
| So if Pete could get a shorter version of Peanut Butter Jelly Time, maybe with all the elements, that would be good. Steve likes the song but sometimes he doesn't want to hear all of it. |
| 8:31
| Does Pete even listen when Pat Boyle is on or does he tune over to Mike North? He probably wants fresher sports. Can't Steve get the Stone Pony on? |
| 8:32
| Those guys won't return Steve's calls. Ed doesn't even call in any more. This might be too early for him since he's in Arizona. |
| 8:33
| Pat Boyle is on the phone. Steve listened to Ed and Stone's first broadcast together last Friday and he thought it was alright. He didn't think it was fair for Teddy Greenstein to critique their first broadcast. It'll take some time for them to get used to each other. |
| 8:34
| Steve was at the Hawks game last night and it was disappointing. Those guys on defense need to start hitting more. They're defenders! |
| 8:35
| The game was pretty much over after the first period when Carolina scored 3 goals. During the game someone came down to ask Steve if he wanted to be the celebrity for the puck shoot. |
| 8:36
| Steve said no which really surprised the guy from the Hawks. Why would Steve want to go out there and get booed? He's been to most of the home games, he's seen everyone get booed, why would he want to go out there? |
| 8:37
| During the puck shoot Josh Mora was out on the ice and he decided to come off the ice by going over the boards instead of just opening the door. Most players go over the boards and don't use the door. It didn't work out well for Josh though. |
| 8:38
| It was a bad game so they had to make the best of it as Comcast. Josh was talking to the same guy who asked Steve to do the puck shoot. Josh asked him how they decide who to pick for the puck shoot. Basically it's hot chicks, and Steve. |
| 8:39
| The play of the game on Comcast was actually the girl making the goal during the puck shoot. The highlight for Steve was when she came back to the other goal and had to adjust her bra in a very revealing way. |
| 8:40
| At one point she actually got off the carpet in high heels and didn't slip. How do women do that? |
| 8:41
| Steve doesn't want to talk too much hockey although there's not much else to talk about. But the Hawks had a lot of shots on goal last night, that goalie on Carolina was just en fuego. |
| 8:42
| They had a lot of shots that just barely missed. Still it's 2 inches though but sometimes it's just luck. |
| 8:43
| Javier Vazquez is starting for the White Sox on opening day and Alfonso Soriano is moving to 2nd in the batting order, they're going to try The Riot at leadoff. |
| 8:44
| What's with the Sun-Times and all this Wrigley stuff? They're just going after the Tribune right? Meanwhile the Eliot Spitzer story doesn't show up until page 10. Isn't that paper like $90 million in debt? |
| 8:45
| You'd think they'd get better New York stuff, aren't they owned by the same company as the Post? Sneed did confirm that Michael Jordan is not Client #10. That seems like an unfortunate use of his name. |
| 8:46
| Did she mention that Steve might be Client #10? Buzz is a Sneedling, maybe he could make an anonymous call. Steve would actually like to be Client #8. |
| 8:47
| Sneed confirmed with Jordan's lawyer that he isn't Client #10. Then there's a giant photo of him. Who else is Client #10 not? |
| 8:48
| Steve never thought it was MIchael Jordan but it's good to know it's not him, then a giant picture of him anyway. |
| 8:49
| You know what Steve saw yesterday that impressed him? That Ravi Baichwal on ABC, who was on-duty when the car crashed through the window, was doing a story from the United Center about a charity game. |
| 8:50
| The goalie for one side was a priest and Ravi was following him around. But then Ravi was in the game, with his hockey sweater on. He actually skated off and all of the sudden Steve had a new opinion of him. He didn't like him before because he's from Canada but if you're from Canada and play hockey it's OK. |
| 8:51
| Steve needs to take a break, is there anything else Pat wants to talk about? He did want to talk about that woman who was stuck to a toilet for 2 years. Steve and Buzz will handle that later. |
| 8:52
| Ryan Dempster proposed marriage to someone yesterday? He was in the stands to help a guy propose to his girlfriend. He was supposed to present a ball to her that said "the guy next to you wants to ask you to marry him". |
| 8:53
| The inning ended up lasting about 40 minutes as the Cubs scored 4 runs, Dempster lost track of the girl for a while but eventually everything went off as planned. |
| 9:00
| That's Ravi Baichwal reacting to the car crash. It wasn't that bad. That's probably his hockey training at work. |
| 9:01
| The Sun-Times doesn't own a paper in New York. At one point Neil Steinberg was writing for a paper in New York that was a sister paper of the Sun-Times. Maybe they sold it though. |
| 9:02
| Steve doesn't see how the Sun-Times bashing the Tribune helps them though. Put that whore on the cover, that's what Steve wants to see. He has to have all the papers in the studio even if he doesn't read them. It just looks better should Rod ZImmerman walk in. |
| 9:03
| Ashley Duprè has gone into hiding, at least in cyberspace. She took down two of her websites and a photo on another site. She took down more than that. She took down the governor. |
| 9:04
| On the websites she described her services. For any other governors out there, you really want to deal directly with the provider. Kristen seemed ethical, you don't want to involve a third party. In this case that third party was 4 people. |
| 9:05
| It struck Buzz that Spitzer might have a severe hooker habit and it'll probably never happen again. Never say never Buzz. Imagine how much trouble he's in out at the house though. |
| 9:06
| Before Kristen took down her websites she revealed a lot about her services. Why didn't Steve think of going to these sites? Kristen enjoys satisfying the desires of distinguished gentlemen. That's Steve and Buzz! |
| 9:07
| Kristen asks that when conducting business her clients leave the "donation" in an envelope in the room with her name on it. A lot of these sites say it's just a donation, that the money was for companionship not sex. That doesn't really hold up in court. |
| 9:08
| Buzz should check out TheEroticReview.com, they have all of these reviews of the women. Buzz is afraid to go there and get caught up in something. |
| 9:09
| Steve feels that Buzz isn't doing his job as an investigative reporter if he avoids these websites. Buzz should be telling Steve about this stuff. |
| 9:10
| Gifts are not required but they're certainly appreciated. When Spitzer finds out he could have had her for $700 an hour and dealt directly with her he's going to be kicking himself. |
| 9:11
| Hopefully Spitzer still has her number, this is when he could really use her. He'll need to get out of the house. |
| 9:12
| Don't forget, Steve and Buzz will be at Phil Stefani's Riva Restaurant on St. Patrick's day, this Monday. It's normally Italian food but there will be a free Irish breakfast on Monday. |
| 9:13
| There will also be prizes, music from the Larkin & Moran Brothers, $5 parking from 5 am to noon, green Budweiser beer and of course the fine radio show. Plus the girls from Sport Clips will be there massaging and hot toweling. |
| 9:14
| Some of the prizes include 4 tickets to the Crosstown Classic at the Skybox on Sheffield, restaurant gift certificates and Jack prize packs. Steve did not know Jack had t-shirts. |
| 9:15
| Buzz has one that he got from Steve the engineer. And Steve didn't get one? Buzz saw one Steve the engineer had so he asked him to get one. |

| Barack Obama has received the support from some of the most distinguished military minds of our military branch. That's from a meeting at the Chicago History Museum yesterday. |
| 9:25
| 9 retired generals, who served under 9 different presidents all threw their support behind Obama. Steve saw that, it was pretty impressive. It sort of quiets all that "3 am phone call" stuff too. |
| 9:26
| One of the generals saw saying funny stuff, rhyming phrases with Barack's name. It was something like "No shock Barack" and something that rhymed with Obama. Pete saw it but he doesn't remember. What happened to Pete? Is he drinking in there? |
| 9:27
| It was "No drama Obama" which was pretty funny from a white general. If it was Jesse it would be different. |
| 9:28
| The woman at the center of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal has been identified as Ashley Alexandra Duprè. Some of her musical talents are being highlighted on her MySpace page. |
| 9:29
| She sounds like Britney or a lot of the other stuff out there. Her lawyer is Don Baichwal, Howard Stern's attorney. You think he hooked her up with that? |
| 9:30
| Governor Spitzer resigned but he still could face a slew of charges connected to the scandal. |
| 9:31
| The Duke of Westminster, listed as the world's 42nd richest person, used the same escort service that Eliot Spitzer did. Despite his immense wealth Gerald Cavendish actually haggled with the cost of the service with one of the girls. |
| 9:32
| Steve doesn't get why prostitution is illegal. He gets crack whores but why don't they clean it up a little bit. |
| 9:33
| At some point if you can afford to pay for sex like this you should be allowed. Otherwise what's the point of trying to achieve something in your life? |
| 9:34
| Buzz feels that sex should be made available to everyone. Some guys just can't make it happen for them. That's why there are always dudes at the forest preserve. |
| 9:35
| CLTV's been showing photos of Ashley all morning. Why are we all so shocked by this then? CLTV can't show enough of it, it's what we all want anyway. |
| 9:36
| WIth movies and games being thrown onto the internet at an increasing right space is running out. Some are calling it more of a predicament. |
| 9:37
| A feared former Liberian president allegedly ordered his militia to eat captured enemies. Charles Taylor controlled Liberia during it's war with Sierra Leone. Joseph "Zig-Zag" Mazrah, Taylor's advisor testified that he and his troops were ordered to eat the flesh of enemies and UN soldiers they'd killed. |
| 9:38
| The Chicago City council is considering a taxi surcharge to help cab drivers with rising fuel costs. |
| 9:39
| As promised, the story of a woman who sat on a toilet for two years. Police are considering charges against the woman's boyfriend, who waited 2 years to call authorities after his girlfriend refused to get off the toilet seat. |
| 9:40
| The woman's skin actually became fused to the toilet seat because of how long she sat there. The boyfriend brought the woman food and water and repeatedly asked her to come out of the bathroom. |
| 9:41
| She only replied that she didn't feel like it but maybe tomorrow. If this is Steve the woman stops being his girlfriend after a few days in the bathroom. |
| 9:42
| Finally after 2 years the boyfriend called the police and though there was something wrong with his girlfriend because she refused to come out of the bathroom. |
| 9:43
| This story seems fake to Steve. First of all the sheriff's name is Mr. Whipple. That's the guy from the Charmin commercial. Plus how does your skin actually get stuck to the toilet seat? |
| 9:44
| Maybe she was really fat or unattractive. Hot girls don't stay in the bathroom for 2 years. What did she do in there for all that time? Because most girls don't read on the toilet. Buzz is just hoping they have two toilets in their house. Steve's guessing this was all going on in a trailer. |
| 9:45
| This would make a great play. A girl on a toilet and offstage a guy's voice, he's the boyfriend. |
| 9:51
| That's Jim Cramer talking about his friend Eliot Spitzer. Does he have to be crying on TV? |
| 9:52
| Steve was right, that woman stuck to the toilet was in a trailer. Also, the boyfriends name is Kory McFarren. It's spelled different of course. They've got some video of the neighbors responding to the situation. |
| 9:53
| You have to be on something if your girlfriend is in the bathroom for two years and you never call the police. Plus, it's a trailer so there's only one bathroom. If you're a neighbor what where you walk in their yard. |
| 9:54
| McFarren isn't sure how long is girlfriend was in the bathroom for because time flew by so quickly. He believes beatings his girlfriend received as a child caused her to stay in the bathroom for so long. |
| 9:55
| She would be in the bathroom longer and longer before coming out and then eventually she just stayed in there. |
| 9:56
| McFarren says his girlfriend did get off the toilet in the bathroom, showered and changed into clothing he brought her. |
| 9:57
| McFarren eventually called the police because he thought his girlfriend had become groggy and didn't know where she was. Maybe they're not on something, maybe they're just idiots. |
| 9:58
| Police found the clothed woman on the toilet with her sweat pants down to mid thigh. That's not clothed to Steve. Sweat pants says fat to Steve. |
| 9:59
| McFarren, who works at an antique store, has been taking care of his girlfriend for the 16 years they've lived together. He insists he tried to get her out of the bathroom everyday. |
| 10:00
| The girlfriend, Pam Babcock, was in fair condition yesterday at a Wichita hospital. She has an infection in her legs and might have to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life. |
