| Buzz was just surprised by Steve's voice in his headphones. He needs to soften it up a bit there tiger. Steve was in the back and didn't come out for the soundcheck, maybe he should've. |
| 5:32
| It's always good to see the Larkin and Moran Brothers here. They always show up right at the last minute too. Steve is happy to see everyone else there. Buzz was shocked by the amount of people who came. It's not like they can come in off the street either, there is no street, you just drive all the way down and deal with disgruntled parking workers. |
| 5:35
| Steve is noticing Buzz's computer and it has a picture of a topless Piper again. It just seems inappropriate to Steve, even if she is only 3. Steve got an email from a listener who saw a flyer for Buzz's show at the Harlem Avenue Lounge, Piper is on the flyer and the listener noticed it above the urinal. Buzz needs to do something about the placement of that. |
| 5:36
| We're at Riva at Navy Pier and everyone has been really nice so far. Except Mary parked diagonally to save a spot for Steve and she got a sticker on her car. You have to think that if you're an overnight parking person there, you're just waiting for someone to do something. |
| 5:37
| Steve didn't think there were going to be that many people at the broadcast today. He thought it would've been a lonely broadcast. |
| 5:38
| How many people are still celebrating St. Patrick's Day from Friday? Everyone is there to celebrate for today. That's how it should be, nowadays people start celebrating so early. |
| 5:39
| Steve saw the parade Saturday and thought maybe he should've been on the Jack FM float. Buzz is pointing out a t-shirt he noticed in the audience. It says "you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning". It's being worn by Ed Silha's friend Mary. Steve thinks Ed fancies Mary, there are lots of pictures of her on Dahl.com. Pete just shoved the microphone in Mary's face, there's someone who is taking out their frustrations from the weekend today. |
| 5:40
| The downtown St. Patrick's Day parade just doesn't seem the same since they moved it to Grant Park. There aren't any places to drink around there. Steve is looking at pictures of Big Steve from the parade. |
| 5:42
| Sadly, the coverage of the parade on Channel 7 didn't feature Janet Davies. Joel Daly was there, though, and it looked like it was inflatable Joel Daly but it was really him. Steve isn't sure if he should make fun of him because he might be sick. It's hard for him not to make fun of him, he said years ago that Steve would be washed up by the time he was 30 and guess what? He's 53 and he's not washed up. |
| 5:50
| Pete just led everyone back with a very timid cheer. He's very shy unless he is hammered. |
| 5:51
| Steve didn't think the downtown parade looked fun. They asked him to be in it but he said no. His fear is that people would hate him for 3 miles. He's have to jump off at some point and run and cry somewhere. He'd run through a group of dancing 8 year old Irish girls. |
| 5:52
| Steve likes to look at what people have on their plates as they are walking back from the buffet line. This person has a muffin, that's not Irish. Buzz loves muffins, he may steal that one off of their plate. |
| 5:53
| Steve was in the Pride parade once, in the back of a Hummer. Get it? Hummer. Steve went into a lesbian bar that day and it was fantastic. Lesbians love Steve and he got to sit in their makeout room and watch them. Then Steve went back in the Hummer and everyone seemed to like him on the route. |
| 5:55
| Some people might have yelled that the was a homophobe. He doesn't understand how you can be homophobic and waving at people while throwing them condoms. |
| 5:56
| The second time Steve was in the parade he was on a rainbow float like Jack. Steve doesn't think that a pot of gold with a rainbow is right for the St. Patrick's Day parade, the rainbow float seems more of a Pride parade float. |
| 5:57
| Steve can't remember the name of the lesbian bar he went to. Buzz's lesbian hangout is Big Chicks. That might have been it, Steve noticed a Greek restaurant across the street and thought he could go in there and have a gyros because he didn't have to worry about onion breath surrounded by lesbians. |
| 5:59
| Scott, the piñata maker is at Riva. Scott lives in the South Loop. That area is really coming up. It's like the suburbs with bums. Steve sees homeless people in the suburbs too. There are a lot of do-gooders who want to pick them up at the train station and then you see them sleeping outside of a grocery store. |
| 6:02
| Scott is a physician as well as a piñata maker. He made a Drew Peterson piñata and one of Steve. Scott made the Drew piñata more real than the one they had at the Stacy Peterson benefit at Bourbon St. Scott makes them as a hobby and for kids birthday parties. Last year, he made a giant cicada. |
| 6:04
| Buzz is jealous of Steve's piñata, the face is remarkably detailed. Scott can make one for Piper's next birthday party. Buzz doesn't think he wants to see that, maybe he'll take the Steve one home and Piper can hit that. Actually, Piper is a fan of Steve's. He had her do impressions on the show and she does a good Jesse Jackson. |
| 6:06
| Jesse jr. got that lap band surgery, Steve doesn't even think he is fat but his standards aren't that high. He went to the Hawks game last night and wanted to keep it light because he was going to dinner afterward. Instead of having 2 brats, he had 2 hot dogs. He may not be the authority on who is fat and who isn't. |
| 6:07
| Steve did see a great fight last night, that Adam Burish actually knocked a guy out. Steve isn't a glass banger but he had to get up and hit the glass when it happened. It was right in front of him and he just had to. Buzz doesn't think that is a classic hockey fight, that is a real fight. |
| 6:09
| Mark Zerang is at Riva , he saw the fight last night and then came over to Riva to get set up. Steve couldn't sleep last night, he was nervous about the broadcast. He hasn't done one sober in a long time. It's easier to walk in at 5:30 am with an eight ball. |
| 6:11
| Phil Stefani and the Riva people have done a great job of setting us up this morning and there are a lot of people there. It must be the free breakfast. Buzz is calling out the guy from Forest Park he saw arrive drunk. Why would Buzz call out the drunk guy? Buzz arrived at the same time as him, separate cabs though. |
| 6:21
| Steve is going to L.A. on Friday to see his parents and have some meeting. He wants to be able to write it off but can't think of who to meet with. Pat is there, he could meet with him but Pat is taking a vacation from not working for the last 6 months. |
| 6:23
| Steve made all of his travel arrangements online, by himself. He got himself a rental car, a Lexus. The last time he was on vacation, he was in Florida and got himself an Audi. He couldn't decide if that was a girl's car or not. |
| 6:24
| Steve had fun booking everything online. He got to book his seat and everything too. Originally, when he told his parents he was coming they said good then his dad emailed him back and said he couldn't come. He told him they were going to a party. Steve was a bit upset by the rejection but thought he would just change the dates of the trip. |
| 6:26
| Then Steve's brother called him to let him know what was going on. His brother went to a rehab facility and has been sober for 2 years. HIs brother is a cook and now works at the rehab facility. They were going to have a party with dinner and that was what Steve's dad meant when he said they had plans. Steve doesn't get why he wouldn't be invited to that. He wouldn't make fun of that or maybe he would? He had to rethink it, maybe he is just an ass. But Steve thought it sounded like something he would like to go to, plus he wants credit for his 12 years sober. |
| 6:28
| The only AA meeting Steve has ever been to was when he hit his 5 year mark. Joe Walsh happened to be in town so they went together. They do make you stand up and say your name, Steve doesn't understand that, isn't it supposed to be anonymous. Steve said his name was Buzz and he was an alcoholic, drug and sex addict. |
| 6:30
| Steve really just said alcoholic, he didn't want to offer up drugs. Buzz thinks you can just say "addict" to cover everything. Steve didn't know what step to say because he never really did the program but had been sober for 5 years so he said the 12th step and they all laughed. They told him because he didn't' work the program or have a sponsor he was only on Step 1 and would end u a worthless drunk again. Steve left and waited in the car for Joe. He thought he should've been spotted at least 6 steps for being sober 5 years. |
| 6:32
| So Steve will be in L.A. for Easter, well at least until noon. Why is Easter on Sunday? It's only March. Does it have something to do with the moon? Everyone thinks it is weird but no one knows why it is happening. |
| 6:35
| Steve went into Books A Million to look for Roto World magazine because Pat Dahl writes for them. He couldn't find the issue nd had to leave and use the restroom somewhere. He went over to L.A. Tan and figured he'd get some color for the big broadcast today. Steve keeps his underwear and watch on when he tans. He thinks the watch tan line is sexy and for a guy to tan naked is gay. |
| 6:39
| Once Steve was all settled into the bed, 2 of the 4 lights weren't working by his face and he had to keep turning his head to even out the tan. He was worried about looking like a Redskins fan with half of his face painted today. He just dealt with it because he couldn't go out of the room in his underpants with the high school girl out there. |
| 6:41
| Steve went to Dominick's then for some Easter candy and was disappointed by the selection. He thinks because Easter is so early you can't find the good speckled Whopper eggs. |
| 6:43
| When Steve got home, Mike and Matt were there with their girlfriends and made fun of him for tanning. But he thinks that's manly to admit you go. He didn't even intend on tanning, he had to pee. He can't even act like a celebrity at L.A. Tan either, there are 2 Steve Dahls in their computer and they always ask if he is the one who lives in Naperville. |
| 6:52
| The Larkin and Moran Brothers are here. How did we get them on St. Patrick's Day? They were off last night because of Palm Sunday and we're on in the morning now so it worked out. |
| 6:54
| We've had the Larkin and Moran Brothers on St. Patrick's Day before, as well as at our beach parties. Steve would like to get a tune from them before they open the bar at 7. Luckily, you don't need to make sense to sound right when playing Irish music. |
| 6:55
| This is the time of year to be a Larkin and Moran brother. After St. Patrick's Day, they have a big fall off. That's why we get them so cheaply during the summer. |
| 6:57
| The Larkin and Moran Brothers: I Tell Me Ma |
| 7:00
| Time for the web poll, the question today is "who is in most need of a mail order bride?" Adam, Ed or Pete? So far Pete is in the lead with 55 percent. Pete isn't opposed to that. Steve would like to see him work something out like that guy did in Sheboygan with the Chinese girl. |
| 7:03
| Canada has a new website for foreign brides to find out information on moving to the country. The website offers everything, complete with chat rooms. Does Pete work the chat rooms? He works every angle he can. |
| 7:05
| What is Pete thinking? Asian? Polish? Pete is thinking Irish today, but Buzz is telling him Eastern European is the way to go right now. You know, the countries decimated by war, then even Pete looks good to them. |
| 7:06
| Steve recommends Asian, then he can start up his own massage parlor, and he wants someone to cook Chinese food for him. |
| 7:09
| Steve thinks Pete should start settling down. Pete kinda has a lady right now but she doesn't live in the area. Steve didn't know he had one and she is actually alive. She lives in New York, that works out for Pete. She doesn't listen but her family does and her mom was going to come to the broadcast today. |
| 7:11
| Steve wants to check the web poll to see if Pete is fairing any better in the results. Nope, he is still at 57%. |
| 7:12
| Steve found out the answer to the Easter question. It has something to do with the full moon, the Jewish calendar and the Last Supper. All Steve knows is it makes for a crummy Easter candy selection at Dominick's. Who does he talk to about that David Hochberg? Him and his calendar is messing up Steve's candy supplies. |
| 7:14
| Is Buzz ready for Easter? He is actually, he just stumbled across the bunny suit. The last time he wore it, it terrified the kid so Buzz is looking forward to wearing it again. Buzz bought it when he first got to Chicago, he saw it in a window while walking up Broadway. It cost $200 which he couldn't afford at the time but it's paid off endlessly, both professionally and personally. He's not one of those plushies is he? |
| 7:22
| The free breakfast has to be the reason everyone is with us at Riva this morning. Buzz just checked out the spread and its fabulous. Sadly, the sunrise isn't spectacular today because its cloudy and will rain this afternoon. Steve is so tired of the newspeople and the weather people talking about the temperature. It's like the news people are begging the weather people to change the temperature like they're god. |
| 7:25
| Last night they were talking about rain like it is acid rain. It's only rain and you don't have to shovel it. Steve is sick of it, and this is when the weather people make a big deal out of everything. What does Steve care? He just wants to hear more sports and more celebrity gossip. |
| 7:26
| Although Steve doesn't mind it when that Ginger Zee does it with her old school pointing with her hand open. He imagines she does that in the bedroom. |
| 7:27
| Live read: Kent Dean |
| 7:29
| Steve couldn't handle going to jail. He can't even fly coach! That's one of the reasons he quit drinking, he wouldn't make it in jail. He'd try to kill himself by hanging himself with the bed sheets, hopefully, they have high thread count. |
| 7:30
| Time for news with Buzz, John McCain and Dick Cheney are in Iraq today. As a couple? They aren't there together. |
| 7:31
| Asian stockmarkets took a dive this weekend and mirrors the American economy's weakness. Should we blame David Hochberg for that? He used to give loans to people just because they had a name. Steve is kidding and would like to say that in all the years of doing business with him, he has never had one complaint, except for from Buzz, and he only complained because he had to pay it back. |
| 7:34
| Today is a big day for senior citizens in Chicago. The state mandated free rides for seniors begins today. Where is Buzz going to go first? It seems complicated because you have to register to get the free rides. Steve thinks if you're starting to prune up, you should be able to ride. |
| 7:35
| Drew Peterson's neighbor is being accused of being obsessed with annoying Drew. She has put up signs on her lawn saying "Where's Stacy?" Drew wouldn't mind making her disappear. |
| 7:37
| There's an alarming trend among teenagers using household chemicals to get high. Steve wants to know what they're using, he is thinking of going home and snorting some Tide or Windex. |
| 7:38
| A piece of Frosted Flake cereal shaped like Illinois is being sold on ebay by two sisters. It's listed as a must have for those who love Illinois. What flake doesn't look like Illinois? |
| 7:40
| Girl Scouts are dropping Gilligan's Island's Dawn Wells from being their luncheon speaker after her marijuana possession arrest. They probably have her speak because she buys a lot of cookies. |
| 7:41
| Paul McCartney will find out today how much money he has to give his estranged wife, Heather Mills. It may be the most money any man has ever had to give. Steve thinks there should be a deduction for only having one leg. |
| 7:50
| That neighbor Drew Peterson is trying to start a boycott of Tailgaters, a bar Drew frequents. Drew likes to work the chicks and keep about a 30 year age difference. Buzz likes the 20 year difference. |
| 7:51
| Drew is going to read an article featuring his lawyer, Freckle Face Grape. They haven't been in the media as much recently because the weather isn't permitting for people to haphazardly search forest preserves. Drew is tellin ya, she is in Jamaica. |
| 7:54
| Sharon Bychowski and her son, Roy have made public statements recently about Drew. Who names their son Roy? Roy is a dog's name. |
| 7:55
| What would Drew do without Tailgaters Bar? He is like Norm and Cliff there. Joel Brodsky thinks they're psychologically obsessed with annoying Drew and not finding Stacy.That's a good quote right there, he probably stayed up all night writing that one out. |
| 7:57
| Bychowski has placed flyers in her windows facing Drew's house, as well as posting a "Where's Stacy?" sign on her lawn. She says her only objective is to find Stacy because she knows she'd never leave her kids. Drew wants to know what she knows? She is like that nosy neighbor from Bewitched. |
| 8:00
| Hey, is Buzz going over to Toyota Park to see Buffet? Drew wants to join him. He'll bring his big blue barrel of salt. Don't be alarmed, it's only salt. |
| 8:03
| If the broads are coming up to Drew, that's not his problem. Bychowski is assuming he goes there to meet women, he's really going there for a patty melt, maybe some wings. He can't help it that he's good looking. |
| 8:05
| Drew has been going to Gibson's. He'll find better tail there. Would Buzz like to join him there after the show? They got good onion strings. |
| 8:06
| It's time for David Hochberg's commercial but Steve was told we won't be getting a new read because David's wife is expecting? David may have old ones next week but these are new. |
| 8:08
| It's a good time to buy something right now, David says the market is perfect for home buying. Steve was talking to Mike Dahl yesterday because Mike is looking to buy a condo. Steve thought maybe they should talk another time because at the same time, Matt Dahl was filling out a job application for Movie Co. |

| 8:15
| Time for the eight o'clock Taco Bell. Today we're talking to Theo from Park Forest on Manager Monday. Will they be serving green taco shells today? Just regular for today, no green. The Cheesy Beefy Melt is back, Steve loves those. |
| 8:27
| Live read: Woodfield Nissan |
| 8:28
| Steve usually does a better job with the live reads when he is at remotes, rather than in the studio. He thinks he would've done that one perfectly if that chick wasn't yapping the entire time. There is some guy working her, Steve gets it but at least move it to the back. Steve tried to send Pete over there but Mr. Passive Aggressive got there too late. |
| 8:30
| The Larkin and Moran Brothers will be playing later at The Galway Tribes in Frankfort and then will end up at Corrigan's Pub in Mount Greenwood. That is good because that's in stumbling distance. |
| 8:32
| The Larkin and Moran Brothers: The Mayo |
| 8:37
| The Larkin and Moran Brothers don't cover Enya? That's too slow for them. Steve used to listen to Enya when he would get a massage. She must have a lot of trouble at concerts keeping people awake. The arm rests in the venue must all have lines of coke on them. |
| 8:38
| Pat Boyle is here. The Larkin and Moran Brothers just did their own rendition of Peanut Butter Jelly Time. It only took Jim Kid a full minute to realize he should turn off the audio of our version. |
| 8:39
| People seemed to enjoy that song though. It's nice to see there are actually people paying attention. It's hard to tell at 5:30 a.m. and really nice to see everyone who showed up at Riva. |
| 8:41
| Steve saw a lot of programming on whores over the weekend. They're passing it off as news but they just keep showing prostitutes. |
| 8:42
| Mike Dahl works with Pat Boyle at Comcast SportsNet and he does promos. He has some idea in his head where he'll film Steve and Buzz singing the Peanut Butter Jelly song for free. Last time he checked, Steve and Buzz don't do that. Steve feels he is still owed some promos from the last time. He hates to get Mike in trouble but he does feel he's owed something. |
| 8:44
| The NCAA brackets are starting this week. Steve feels you should be able to fill them out as they go along, how can he pick them if he doesn't know who is going to the next round each time. Plus, he doesn't know much about college basketball, he does know Illinois won. |
| 8:46
| Pat Boyle thinks the Hawks were listening to Steve Friday. They came out Friday night and played the way he said he wanted to see them play. Steve has an email to read from a listener questioning his new love of hockey. Steve thinks if you just go to a game, you'll understand it. |
| 8:50
| Steve would take Buzz but he wouldn't want him to leave early. It's over by 10 but if you take Steve's route out of there, you'll be home by 10:15. |
| 8:51
| The strangest Radio Icon Night Steve saw at the Hawks game was the silence for Spike O'Dell. No booing, no cheering, just silence. |
| 8:53
| Steve wants to know why Pat keeps bringing up Steve slipping on the carpet and almost falling. He needs to remember he's only on cable. |
| 8:59
| Steve would like to thank Jim Kid back at the studio running the controls. He is sorry for the slight lapse in turning off the Peanut Butter Jelly audio. Stephanie is taking care of the log and Brendan is, of course, sleeping in the green room. He has his big webcast at noon he needs to rest up for. |
| 9:01
| This is Day 1 without Tina, Buzz never did get his flesh rampage but she is still in the building. We had to change locks on the office doors, Steve prefers a cleaner break than that. She said she has nothing bad to say but Steve doesn't believe it. He has an email from a disgruntled former intern. He's going to read that tomorrow when we're back at the studio. |
| 9:03
| Live read: Fresh Diet |
| 9:05
| Pat has never really had to worry about what he eats and has never been on a diet, that disgusts Steve. Pat does work out 4 times a week for about an hour and a half. Steve thinks he needs to bump up his workout, it doesn't seem to be working for him. |
| 9:07
| Buzz is looking for his drunk Forest Park guy. HIs stuff is there but he isn't. He's probably puking somewhere, that is Steve's favorite part of St. Patrick's Day, the green puke. You can puke in the river and no one will know. That's another thing Steve doesn't get, they dye the river green when it is already green. They keep moving that parade too and it's all families now. |
| 9:09
| Steve would like to at least check out Division Street. Buzz is game but he doesn't think he'd be able to be sober with Steve. |
| 9:10
| Buzz was happy his cab driver knew where to go in Navy Pier because it can be hard to navigate there. Luckily, you just drive down the north end and you see a big sign that says Riva. |
| 9:12
| There are only two more weeks until Opening Day. Both the Cubs and Sox have their first games on the 31st. Ozzie Guillen switched the starting pitcher back to Buehrle. |
| 9:13
| It looks like Kerry Wood will be a closer for the Cubs. He has dedicated himself to coming back and took a pay cut to stay here. |
| 9:14
| Ozzie is supposed to be back to "Old Ozzie" this season, although he never truly was "New Ozzie", even with all of that sensitivity training stuff because of Jay Mariotti. |
| 9:17
| Maybe they should just have the mascot talk for Ozzie. If something bad comes out of that costume, you just switch the kid out and everything is ok. |
| 9:26
| Steve has to read the Joebees commercial but we can't hear from Joe Bee because Steve doesn't have the harmonizer. Maybe Mark Zarang can take something away from the band to help Steve out? |
| 9:29
| It turns out that doesn't work out so well. Mark Zarang is a new parent, Steve wants to give him some advice, just get some of that diaper tape stuck to the baby's leg and the next time his wife goes to change it, she'll see that and he won't ever have to change another diaper again. |
| 9:32
| Buzz was changing Piper's diaper once and noticed she was coughing and it seemed choking on something. When he sat her up and hit her on the back, a quarter came flying out of her mouth. Wow. Does she pay out like that all the time? |
| 9:34
| Does Mark have a diaper genie? He doesn't know. Steve doesn't know what it is but it is something you're supposed to have these days. They didn't have it when Steve had babies at home. Buzz doesn't know what it is either, he thinks he remembers seeing it but never used it. |

| The Larkin and Moran Brothers: The Moonshine |
| 9:44
| There is a guy in the audience who knew all of the words. It's Brian, a longtime Steve fan and he's a Larkin and Moran Brothers groupie. He still has pictures from the broadcast a few years ago at Bar Louie. That was when Bill Murray showed up and Chela from Kevin Matthews' show stood up. He thought she was a transvestite and just left. |
| 9:47
| Brian is going to do what they call the Death March down Western Ave. later. Steve knows South Western Ave. because he loves Rainbow Cone but that doesn't really go well with liquor. |
| 9:55
| Live read: Woodfield Nissan |
| 9:56
| Joe, Riva's manager, is here. They did a fantastic job, Steve doesn't think he has ever been more impressed with a setup. Steve is going to get a massage from Yvette with Sport Clips while he talks to Joe. |
| 9:59
| Joe would like Steve and Buzz to sign some plates for Phil Stefani. Steve thinks he is going to write "Happy St. Patrick's Day" to commemorate the experience. Buzz is going with "Nice eggs!" |
