| The Steve Dahl Show will be on the air from lovely downtown Chicago momentarily! Please stay tuned. As always the Steve Dahl Show will feature the delightful news stylings of one Mr. Buzz Kilman, in just a few moments. |
| 5:30
| Buzz discovered a great piece of news in the elevator today, on the news screen. Usually it's just rehashed stuff or information about the blood drive in the lobby. |
| 5:31
| But today Buzz looked up and saw a story about how researchers had discovered a way to make lithium batteries last 10 times longer. Steve saw that last week actually, they change the news less on that thing than Buzz does. |
| 5:32
| It's exciting news though, it's going to change everything. Everything uses lithium batteries: cellphones, laptops, Steve and Buzz's pacemakers! Steve enjoys reading the news on the elevator though. |
| 5:33
| Steve checked into advertising on the Captivate Network which is in the elevator. The station doesn't want too because they already think they pay Steve and Buzz too much. At some point Steve thought about kicking in some of his own money just so they would keep paying him more. But it's more money than you'd think it would be. |
| 5:34
| It's just an elevator, that's what Steve said. Steve only has a 10 floor ride too, sometimes just one floor from 11 to 10. And a lot of people talk on the elevator anyway so how many people are paying attention? Just last week Steve rode down in the elevator with Tina, who talked the entire time. Remember in the last episode of M*A*S*H when Alan Alda strangled the chicken? Steve sort of felt like that. |
| 5:35
| Buzz can't help but get into conversations in the elevator. If someone says something he has to respond. Steve's elevator talking days are over. He never has enough time to have a conversation in an elevator because everything he says needs to be explained. Sometimes if people have food Steve tells them to give it to him. Or he just takes it. |
| 5:36
| Buzz has heard that Jim Belushi used to do that. They have a mutual friend who was mad at Jim once because he was sitting in a restaurant eating a burger when Jim walked in, sat down at the table and started eating the guy's burger. As usual with Jim what he's doing is 3/4th of the way to funny. |
| 5:37
| The guy had already taken a bite out of the burger before Jim started eating it. At that point Steve would have told him he had mono or something. Can disease be spread through hamburger, other than E. Coli? Once Piper was eating a piece of pizza and she asked Buzz if he wanted the rest. He took and bite and then she said "Haha, I have a cold!" |
| 5:38
| Steve has a little bit of something that he might have caught from Janet. They have Dixie cups in the bathroom and everyday she uses one and then leaves it on the counter. It could just be allergies. |
| 5:39
| It wasn't from yelling at the baseball game either though, Steve doesn't really yell like that. Except maybe at the women behind him who were hammered and wearing Sox gear but seemed to be Cubs fans. Maybe they're just fans of opening day? |
| 5:40
| Before Steve gets to that, speaking of E. Coli, how does it get into cereal? Because Jewel is recalling a bunch of their cereal. Although if you've got E. Coli in your cereal it's sort of like having bran in there. |
| 5:41
| So these 4 women were sitting behind Steve and they were hammered. One woman spilled 2 Rum & Cokes on Steve. And another one kept calling her friend to check the score of the Cubs game, even though there's a scoreboard that has all the scores. Right under the heading that says "Nat. League", the one that says Pitt and Chi, that's the Cubs score. They even have that at Cubs games, carved into wood. |
| 5:42
| The women were eating a lot too. You don't see a lot of women with dunlaps but one of them had one. If you're Cubs fans fine but don't be that annoying. Then one of them said to Steve "I'm supposed to say hi to you, you're my friend's favorite." Then she went on to say how she was mad that Jack didn't have music in the mornings but now she's OK with it. |
| 5:43
| It was an exciting game though and it was quite warm when Steve got there. He actually had to take his jacket off. It seemed very exciting to Buzz. He doesn't usually keep tabs on offseason deals but he heard on the news last night that the Sox actually wanted to trade Joe Crede in the offseason. |
| 5:44
| Steve would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Joe and the entire Crede family. He didn't want Joe traded but he was mad that he didn't have back surgery earlier. At this time last year the Sox were already in last place and they never got out of it. A grand slam is always exciting though. |
| 5:45
| The Sox were behind for the entire game and then they tied it up and went ahead with the slam in the 7th. That was right after the 7th Inning Stretch where Ed Farmer had Steve Stone trying to pelt Steve with t-shirts. |
| 5:46
| One of the women behind Steve hurt herself diving for a t-shirt and this was after she broke her finger trying to catch a foul ball. Steve likes girls but these girls talked too much. Girls need to stop talking. Can't you just sit there?! Instead they're talking the whole time, calling each other the c-word. The old man next to them was freaking out. Although he started talking to one of them so he might have broken himself off a piece of that Kit-Kat bar. |
| 5:53
| Those girls behind Steve were probably nice but they were hammered and wouldn't stop talking. You can't have 4 girls like that together, you need a dude there to make shut the hell up. |
| 5:54
| Steve's got some nice emails coming in already. This one is from someone who wants Brendan to tell "fat F (although the word is there) Sox fan Steve that when we go to Wrigley we don't know the color of the seats because they're all full." |
| 5:55
| Sometimes people just aren't at their seats at Sox games although sometimes the park just isn't full. It was full yesterday though. Steve's going to go ahead and say this guy's name and where he works because he sent the email on a company account. So Mike Grelke of Vida Tequila sent this to Steve. |
| 5:56
| Steve was watching the Cubs game all last week and he saw plenty of empty seats. And the whole argument is illogical because there are plenty of other ways to find out what color the seats are in a stadium. |
| 5:57
| If you're Vida Tequila you don't want your employee sending out emails like this to Steve. Sox fans like tequila too. There are toddlers drunk at Sox games. |
| 5:58
| Steve didn't even say anything bad about the Cubs either. This email came in at 12:02 AM, seems like someone was sampling the product. |
| 5:59
| Should Steve do a mailbag since he has it open already? The next emailer points out that Steve and Buzz talked about Charlton Heston and Leon of Leon's Ribs one week and by the next week they were dead. He's got a list of people for them to talk about. |
| 6:00
| Steve had a bunch of people email to correct him about the height of the Prudential Building. 2 Prudential Plaza is the 5th tallest building in Chicago, 11th tallest in the U.S. and 34th in the world. Thanks for the info! This guy is a Mark Czerniec in training. |
| 6:01
| The next emailer appreciates the webcast and the commercials being cut out by he would like other audio to be included in there. Technically since the podcast is a mechanical recording you can't include music and drops. Although Steve thinks what he does falls under fair use. |
| 6:02
| Steve asks Todd about this every week but it seems like the only thing on his notepad is "Get more L.A. Tan gift certificates for Eddie and Jobo." Steve will ask again though because he thinks what he does falls under fair use. He can't include full songs though. |
| 6:03
| The problem when you deal with CBS is that their lawyers want to keep their lawyer jobs so they don't want to mess around with something like this. But if you're playing short enough clips it's fair use. |
| 6:04
| The next emailer just got wind of a segment Steve did in January about breakfast pizza at Zippy's in Flint, Michigan. The woman who owns the place is named Debbie Matthews although it's not Kev's wife. |
| 6:05
| Debbie has emailed Steve and she thinks he'd like his breakfast pizza if he tried it. It also doesn't have ranch dressing on it. During that segment some guy called in with a recipe for breakfast pizza that included ranch dressing, which made Steve dry heave. |
| 6:06
| Debbie is not related or married to Kevin Matthews. Her restaurant opens at 8 am to cater to businesses in the area who want to bring in food for employees. During the segment Steve wondered why they didn't open until 8 am. |
| 6:07
| Debbie thinks that Buzz should stop by the next time he's in Flint. Of course Buzz has wanted to move to Flint ever since he saw Semi-Pro with Will Ferrell, about the Flint Tropics basketball team. |
| 6:08
| Steve doesn't remember what was on the pizza but he could look it up. It was a web poll question about breakfast pizza. |
| 6:09
| Zippy's Pizza serves breakfast pizza and Zippy's Twists which are cinnamon rolls. Debbie did research in the area and discovered they needed a pizza place. |
| 6:10
| Zippy's employs three people. It's probably one of the largest employers in the Flint area. Steve doesn't see anything about what's on the pizza but he can keep looking. |
| 6:11
| Steve calls down to the newsroom. Can Jim bring up that day on the show log for him? |
| 6:12
| Jim has the show log in front of him, the breakfast pizza consists of cheese, eggs, ham, bacon and peppers. Sounds good to Steve. That's also what he said on the show log about the pizza. |
| 6:13
| How about a road trip up to Flint? It's about 5 hours, 3 if you're driving with Steve to Detroit and then another hour to Flint. Buzz was thinking a live remote from Flint. That has a sweet Kevin Matthews feel to it. THAT'S RIGHT! |
| 6:14
| How great is it to have that show log? Buzz is wondering if Jim can just pop that day up on Steve's screen. Jim can just search the show log for "Zippy's Pizza" and it comes up. Buzz is wondering how long it goes back. We can go back about 40 years on that thing. |
| 6:15
| Steve was actually wondering just the other day how far back it goes. He calls down to the weather center. On Jim's computer he has logs going back to 2004 but there might be other archives going back to when it started. Is there anything from 2003 that Buzz wants to look up? |
| 6:16
| On Dahl.com you can only go back a year, which seems like enough for free. There are other ways to find older logs on there but we don't need to get into a technical workshop. |
| 6:23
| Alright Brendan is here to finish up the bracket. It was a great championship game last night although Steve didn't watch it. He had UCLA winning it all and even with them he was barely interested. Steve can't remember what he watched instead but it was a movie. |
| 6:24
| Could Brendan put that mic closer to his mouth? Every time he comes in the studio Steve thinks there's something wrong. Then Pat Boyle comes in yesterday and just rocks the mic. Turns out Brendan's just a lazy ass and won't bring the mic closer to his face. Don't they teach this stuff at Iowa?! |
| 6:25
| Steve almost jacked up Brendan's volume but it's a good thing he didn't because Pat Boyle came in and rocked that thing. He's used to being on TV where they have those lavaliere mics that they have to yell into. Brendan's nodding in agreement like he knows. Does he do a lot of TV? |
| 6:26
| Steve got a funny email complaining about Brendan yesterday. He didn't let her through but by the time Steve was done reading it he was glad Brendan didn't let her through. |
| 6:27
| Brendan's the gatekeeper out there. It makes him feel good to know he didn't let someone like that on the air. Steve makes fun of Brendan but he does a good job keeping the crazies off the air. Steve still wants to hook up a recording device so he can play back Brendan screening calls. |
| 6:28
| This woman loves Steve in the mornings and wakes up laughing most days. Most days?! She's called 5 times in the last month and Brendan, the guy who answers the phone at the station (in case Steve didn't know) never lets her through. |
| 6:29
| She called last week when Steve didn't know the difference between Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir. A lot of people called about that but we can't put everyone through. |
| 6:30
| The woman said she had all the info Steve needed and Brendan asked her how she knew. That's all part of the pre-interview process. Then he put her on hold and went back to her later to say they were all covered. He couldn't be nice her. He sent her off feeling beautiful, the way he does with all his women. |
| 6:31
| Now normally Steve would have told Brendan to let this woman through the next time she calls. But then the P.S. ruins it. She says that her boyfriend listens to Howard, who said Jack's ratings are lower now that Steve has come on the station. |
| 6:32
| What does Howard care? He has a half billion dollars! Plus his ratings are probably down from the 22 million who listened before he was on satellite. And do you ever even hear about Howard's antics any more? He's probably killing people on the air and no one even knows. |
| 6:33
| So the brackets are done and Kansas won in dramatic fashion. They hit a 3-pointer with a few seconds left to send it into OT. Steve was busy watching Fox pad their 9 pm news. |
| 6:34
| The final stats as it turns out are Stephanie, who's been conducting the pool, with 121, beating out Ron Lewis who Steve wouldn't have paid out to anyway. Mary had 108, Jim 102. Adam finished last with 46, he did the opposite of chalking. He took all the underdog teams because he's an underdog. And he sort of looks and sounds like Underdog. |
| 6:35
| Steve questions a pool where the person running it wins. Steve calls up to the office. Didn't Tina win her own pool last year? It seems like there's some chicanery going on here. |
| 6:36
| Who paid up so far because Stephanie will have a tough time collecting as the winner and administrator. If Stephanie tells Steve who hasn't paid he can publicly shame them. It's actually just Brendan but he doesn't have the $20 on him. |
| 6:37
| Pete was late to pay which happens a lot with him. We always have to send a leg breaker to get him to pay. He also didn't pay in for the Fantasy Football because he thought he was going to win. That's not how it works though. |
| 6:38
| Stephanie gets the entire pot too and she'll use her winnings to buy new tires. $160 for 4 new tires, that's not a lot. |
| 6:39
| She actually only needs two new tires. She got a flat on one front tire and the other one isn't looking great. |
| 6:40
| Steve tried to watch that game but he came in at a bad time. He lost interest anyway because his alma mater, UCLA, was out. All-in-all Brendan thought it was an exciting tournament, culminating in the playing of Luther Vandross' One Shining Moment along with a montage. It brought a tear to Brendan's eyes. |
| 6:41
| Yesterday at the Sox game there was a moment of silence for Sox players or fans who had died, along with the NIU victims. Although they might have only featured the ones who were Sox fans. |
| 6:42
| Terry was up there during the montage but there was a song playing during the moment of silence. That's not silence! Steve tried to point that out to Matt who told him to be quiet. Then after the song was over everyone was still quiet and no one knew what to do. Then some guy broke the silence by yelling "WHITE SOX!" Steve gives the guy points for bravery but not creativity. |
| 6:47
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 6:48
| This copy says that Jessica's credit score is $78,000. That's probably her salary. David is under a lot of pressure now that he's wet nurse to his own daughter. He's writing live reads and nursing. |
| 6:49
| Mike Dahl is looking for a place and working with David. Steve wouldn't let his son work with someone who wasn't good. |
| 6:50
| Alright time for the web poll, just ahead of news with Mr. Buzz Kilman. Steve should probably close up the mailbag but he's got a lot of good emails still stacked up, like planes at O'Hare on a Friday night. We'll get to those later. The Carpenters mailbag theme doesn't have a close right? How is Pete going to live with that? Steve usually just plays the opening theme again, we've done it before. |
| 6:51
| Steve doesn't remember that! He doesn't even remember what he did yesterday other than eat too much at the Sox game. |
| 6:52
| Alright Steve will just play The Carpenters song again. Can we get a CD transfer of that? This one is from vinyl and the surface noise bugs Steve, even if no one else can hear it. |
| 6:53
| Steve's ears are very attuned to audio problems. It drives him nuts on American Idol when all of their P's pop. They're using a wireless mic with bad plosive protection. |
| 6:54
| Steve went into the buffet at U.S. Cellular yesterday and he wasn't even that hungry because his trainer gave him some trucker's speed. |
| 6:55
| Even on Sunday Steve was planning on only getting one slice of prime rib. And they're back to real prime rib too, last year it was just a round. They kept calling it prime rib though and Steve had to complain. |
| 6:56
| They've got a new manager now and a new chef, who Steve met yesterday. He also got his phone number so Steve can call him whenever he wants to know what they're serving. |
| 6:57
| Last year they had a round and they were cutting it weird but still calling it prime rib. Steve got one nice sized piece yesterday although usually they carve that stuff like it's their own meat. |
| 6:58
| Steve was waiting for the gravy and the woman brought a new boat of it without a spoon. So Steve's waiting for a spoon and the guy at the carving station thinks he wants another slice. So Steve says yes and then the woman brings out a tea spoon. So it took forever to ladle the gravy on. |
| 6:59
| Then there's bread and creamed spinach and then Caesar salad so Steve had all that stuff. He told Matt not to let him eat any hot dogs but as soon as they got out there a guy came by with peanuts. |
| 7:00
| Then every inning a guy comes by with hot dogs and Polish sausage. Eventually Steve had a Polish. He can't be eating that much everyday but it's impossible not to. He doesn't know what to do. |
| 7:01
| Steve had to turn his mic off, he's got a bit of a throat here. It's a tickle, he might have to pop in some more Chloraseptic. They say it's cherry-flavored but it doesn't taste like any cherry Steve's ever had. It tastes like cherry hooked on heroin. |
| 7:02
| Steve did not have any dessert yesterday though. But then he got home and had two bowls of Rainbow Cone ice cream so technically he did have dessert. Then he had some orange juice from his throat and 2 pieces of broiled chicken leftover from Sunday. So Steve would like to announce that this summer he'll be renting himself out as Jabba the Hut or one of those Moonwalks for kid's birthday parties. |
| 7:03
| Steve only has one serving left off the Rainbow Cone ice cream although it would probably be 3 servings to Buzz. After that Steve can move on though. Although he went up three dress sizes during the last baseball season. |
| 7:04
| Then he got Hawks tickets and they've got great bratwurst there. And at the Bears games he's in the middle of a buffet. Matt Dahl got some ravioli with Alfredo sauce and Steve refrained from that. It looked good though. |
| 7:05
| Matt made some weird food choices yesterday. Instead of prime rib he got what looked like a tri-tip. They might have been going for a fajita deal. But sometimes you see something at one table and you have to have it. |
| 7:06
| It's weird to be at a game with Matt and he's drinking beer because he always gets carded. He does look like he's 12 but Steve is sitting right next to him. What kind of parent would let their kid drink at a baseball game? Buzz thinks plenty of parents would, along with letting kids smoke pot. Steve lets Matt do that, just as long as he shares man. |
| 7:07
| Yesterday's web poll question was "do you prefer frozen or homemade brownies?" Not surprisingly the homemade came out on top at 95%. |
| 7:08
| Today's web poll question is "Should Steve start flying out of Rockford International Airport?" They've got a nice airport out there, it was some sort of pork barrel project. |
| 7:09
| Several large carriers just abandoned Rockford International but soon Southern Skyways will fill the void with twice weekly flights to Myrtle Beach. Why does everyone fly to Myrtle Beach? They've got an airline out of Gary, Skybus, that flies there for $10. First of all Skybus doesn't sound like a good name and who wants to fly for $10. That's like Con-Air. |
| 7:10
| Actually Skybus just went bankrupt last week. $10 isn't enough to charge for a plane ticket. That's less than an actual bus! |
| 7:11
| Rockford doesn't need an airport. We've got Midway and O'Hare. Rockford AIrport is just a place for Cheap Trick to keep their jet. |
| 7:12
| But keep up the good work Rockford! Steve will be answering no to the web poll question. |
| 7:13
| O'Hare isn't that bad. Actually it's great! Steve hasn't flown out of the new Midway yet but he's heard that it's great. |
| 7:14
| Buzz loves the new Midway. The food court is great! Steve loves O'Hare because we can fly anywhere in the world nonstop. A lot of people have to stop in Chicago before going somewhere else. Imagine having to do that every time you fly. |
| 7:15
| Steve could go to O'Hare right now and fly to Moscow. One day he's just going to do that. Buzz has heard they have a rockin' nightlife in Moscow. |
| 7:21
| Live read: Fresh Diet |
| 7:22
| After all that eating yesterday it's good that Steve has the Fresh Diet to fall back on. |
| 7:23
| News with Buzz |
| 7:24
| The NCAA crowned a new men's basketball champ as the Kansas Jayhawks beat Memphis. Meanwhile at the White House President Bush welcomed the football National Champion LSU Tigers. |
| 7:25
| President Bush is a foul-mouthed, reformed drunk, obsessed with baseball and Saddam Hussein and has a complicated relationship with his father. Or at least that's the way he's portrayed in the script for Oliver Stone's upcoming George Bush movie. |
| 7:26
| The Department of Children and Family Services has temporary custody of the children removed from a Polygamist compound in Texas. Polygamy seems like a pretty good scam if you can pull it off, except for the underage girl stuff of course. |
| 7:27
| Pulitzer Prizes came out yesterday but Steve didn't get one. The Tribune did along with Bob Dylan and Tracy Letts, local playwright. Phillip Schultz won a Pulitzer for his poem Failure. They never gave one to Dr. Seuss so Steve stopped caring. |
| 7:28
| Buzz has the text of the poem, would he like Steve to read it as himself or Bill Kurtis? How about BIll with music? That says poetry right there doesn't it? |
| 7:29
| And now Failure by Phillip Schultz as read by Bill Kurtis. |
| 7:30
| What the hell does any of this poem mean? If Steve was writing that he'd go back and delete it. It's not even a good blog. But it won a Pulitzer Prize. Apparently they'll hand those out to anyone. |
| 7:31
| The Trib picked up it's 25h Pulitzer and Tracy Letts picked one up for his play August: Osage County, starring Buzz's neighbor Deanna Dunagan. |
| 7:32
| Rob Lowe says a former family babysitter is attempting to blackmail his family with a list of "false terribles." What the hell is a false terrible? |
| 7:33
| She probably saw something working with his family for 7 years. Wasn't Rob Lowe in one of the first celebrity sex tapes? |
| 7:34
| Chicago taxi cab riders will pay an extra $1 per ride to help with skyrocketing gas prices under an ordinance passed by the city council yesterday. Cab drivers aren't thrilled with the offer but they'll take it. |
| 7:35
| Isn't a cab pretty cheap still? Buzz wouldn't know because he spends a lot of money on cabs. It's probably cheaper than having a car and paying for insurance, gas and parking though right? |
| 7:36
| How much does Buzz pay, when he doesn't run off? Buzz takes the cab too far though. He needs to start taking the bus with Brendan. They could leave together, it's not like Brendan stays around after the show. Brendan was waiting for Buzz yesterday to ride the bus together. He was heartbroken. |
| 7:37
| Does Buzz want to hear that Phillip Schwartz guy read his own poem? Steve has to say it doesn't seem that hard to write a Pulitzer Prize-winning poem. |
| 7:38
| The poem doesn't even rhyme! Maybe that's why Steve has never won a Pulitzer for his poems. all the ones he send in rhyme. |
| 7:39
| Waukegan police are investigating the grisly stabbing death of a young girl. Her mother is their prime suspect. |
| 7:40
| Craig Stebic finally got the keys to his seized car yesterday. Where is Lisa Buzz? Did we ever determine who has the hotter missing wife, Drew or Craig? |
| 7:48
| Live read: Joebees |
| 7:49
| Buzz was wondering if he could see the stinger. Joe Bee did a little stinging yesterday but it's no one Buzz knows. |
| 7:50
| Isn't it time for Steve to take his bee pollen? It smells like honey Buzz. That's because it's made from bees! |
| 7:51
| Song: The Reason, Hoobastank |
| 7:55
| That's some Jack music right there. People ask Steve what they should listen to in the afternoon, he says listen to Jack. |
| 7:56
| Your day is over in the afternoon, you don't need to be driving home listening to someone yip-yapping at you. |
| 7:57
| Plus if you listen to Jack in the afternoons that's good for Steve and Buzz. They call it the Steve Dahl halo effect. |
| 7:58
| As Steve and Buzz learned from WCKG, which we ran into the ground, one successful timeslot does not make the whole station successful. |
| 7:59
| Steve can hear Buzz opening his taco wrapper which means it must be time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. It's Taco Tuesday which means Steve and Buzz are eating original tacos. |
| 8:00
| Steve asked his guy over at U.S. Cellular, Miguel, how he was doing yesterday. He said "Como esta?" and Miguel said "tranquilla" which Steve liked. He's going to start using that. |
| 8:01
| Alright does Buzz want to hear Phillip Schultz read his poem? It sounds like a voicemail message. |
| 8:02
| The guy sounds like William S. Boroughs to Buzz. Steve has some Boroughs on his iTunes but there's a lot of profanity in it. |
| 8:03
| It's just a poem about the guy's loser dad. |
| 8:04
| Drew is here, he's back in the news again. What did he do now? The neighbors were harassing his kid. |
| 8:05
| Drew's older son got in trouble for wearing his police uniform when he testified in front of the grand jury. He got permission from his commanding officer though. Steve Dahls was talking about that when it happened. |
| 8:06
| You're probably not supposed to wear a police uniform to testify in front of a grand jury unless you're testifying as an officer. |
| 8:07
| Drew accused his neighbor of detaining his son Anthony. He called the police because he said his 4-year-old son was surrounded in her driveway being photographed. |
| 8:08
| Drew learned about it later because he was picking up another son from church. See, he's taking the kids to church. It's a God-fearing family. |
| 8:09
| Bychowski says that Anthony rode his bike over to her house and she took a photo of him with his aunt, Cassandra Cales. |
| 8:10
| Police have labeled the disappearance of Drew's third wife, Stacy, a "potential homicide". She's actually his 4th wife. Don't people know that? Can't they keep a tote board or something? |
| 8:11
| The next sentence mentions Drew's third wife Kathleen Savio. He can't have 2 third wives, he's not one of those Mormon guys. And even they would count it as a third and fourth wife. |
| 8:12
| Peterson's lawyer Joel Freckle-Face Grape Brodsky has accused Bychowski and her son of threatening Drew through internet postings. Bychowski says that Drew is in possession of a garage door opener she gave Stacy. |
| 8:13
| Brodsky says that the cornering and photographing of Drew's son could amount to a felony on Bychowski's part. Brodsky believes Bychowski has lost touch with reality. He fears for her mental stability. |
| 8:14
| He believes the people on Bychowski's driveway acted like a modern day lynch mob. However an officer on the scene viewed the photo of Anthony and his aunt and said the child did not look harried. Which is not to say he's bald. |
| 8:15
| Peterson also complained to police that Cassandra Cales pealed out when she left his house. She left 20 yards of tire tracks. That's just a bad look for the block party, it makes the street look bad. |
| 8:16
| Bychowski said she and other volunteers put out blue and pink ribbons in the neighborhood for Stacy and Kathleen. Which one is which? Drew took the ribbons down that were on his property. |
| 8:17
| What's the Kathleen Savio ribbon for? It's just to get Drew in trouble. |
| 8:24
| That's Drew, Mr. Mom. He seems so congenial. Why wouldn't he be, he's a former police officer. |

| Why is it so shocking that Drew would try to take care of his kids? They're all he has left after Kathleen died and Stacy went missing. Does Drew need to take Buzz's garage door opener? |
| 8:26
| What's that Drew/Mr. Mom stuff from? It's from Fox News Channel, an inside thing they had with Drew. Note to Fox news, put the mic on the subject, not the reporter. |
| 8:27
| Alright it's Peanut Butter Jelly Time. Also Buzz took an email off the printer that was Steve's. Buzz takes everything from the printer although most of the stuff is his. It was that hate email, the one he read earlier. |
| 8:28
| A couple of wild games for Chicago baseball teams yesterday. Steve's looking for some small talk now while he looks for the guy's email. That guy's gripe was uncalled for, mean-spirited and done on a company email account. |
| 8:29
| Alright here it is, from Mike Grelke at Vida Tequila. He wants Brendan to tell Steve that when people go to Wrigly [sic] they don't know the color of the seats because they're f'ing filled. That's a typical Cubs fan retort. |
| 8:30
| Even if U.S. Cellular were full, or if it wasn't, Steve could figure out what color the seats were at some point. Steve doesn't think this guy should be sending emails with the f-word on a company email account. |
| 8:31
| Buzz always wonders about the f-word in emails. When he goes to put it in an email, usually in a jocular way but sometimes as a come-on, he wonders if he's supposed to use it. |
| 8:32
| You can use the f-word but you probably shouldn't in a company email. And Buzz could back of the profanity a bit when he emails Steve too. |
| 8:33
| All Steve said was that it's nice at U.S. Cellular now that all the seats are green. He didn't say anything bad about the Cubs. |
| 8:34
| All Steve put in his blog was that the women behind him were spilling Rum & Cokes on him and asking for the Cubs score all game long. But Steve pointed out that the score is on the scoreboard, even at Wrigley Field. |
| 8:35
| The girls said they were rooting for the Pirates but who roots for the Pirates? They said something else that a lot of Cubs fans say but Steve can't remember. Matt Dahl would remember but he might not be up this early. |
| 8:37
| Steve had a great time at the game though and the Sox won in dramatic fashion. He takes back whatever he said about Joe Crede. And the Cubs won too. |
| 8:38
| Steve wishes that the Sox would shave off that billy goat thing on their chins but it seems to be working. It looks weird on Nick Swisher though. |
| 8:39
| So Joe Crede hit the grand slam yesterday and they came up with 5 runs against a really tough Twins reliever. |
| 8:40
| The Cubs had a 7 run lead that they blew but then won in extra innings. Mark DeRosa had another error but he had a rough spring training with the heart issue and then the Brian Roberts rumors. |
| 8:41
| Before the game Lou said he wanted to take a dip in the Allegheny but after the game he said he was just glad to win, even if it was ugly. |
| 8:42
| WGN lost the feed of the Cubs game for 42 minutes yesterday so there was no video. Ironically that woman behind Steve called her friend for the score and she probably couldn't see it. |
| 8:43
| The score couldn't be more obvious on the scoreboard either, it's all right up there. And you'd think that if you care that much about the score of the Cubs game, you'd know that every ballpark has an out-of-town scoreboard. |
| 8:44
| She could probably check the score on her cellphone too. Steve was having problems with his cellphone yesterday though. Maybe U.S. Cellular is messing around with his signal or something. |
| 8:45
| Steve had a guy near him doing some weird heckling. He was calling the ump Blue which made sense since he was wearing blue. The ump had a bad strikezone but the guy calling him "Napoleon" and telling him to stand up is not going to help the Sox. |
| 8:46
| Then another guy took it even further, he knew the ump's name and where he lived so he was yelling that out. That's also not going to help the Sox. A few other guys over near the Twins dugout were heckling the ump so badly that he actually came over to yell at them. |
| 8:47
| Pat saw Steve's buddy in the M & M jacket at the game yesterday. Steve followed him into the parking lot. In the lot that Steve and that guy park in there's a special street they go down. |
| 8:48
| Steve is behind this guy, in his Maserati, and the parking woman is not letting him in. That of course means Steve doesn't get in either so he tells the woman that this is where they're supposed to be parking. So Steve helped that guy get into his space. |
| 8:54
| Live read: Hilton Indian Lakes |
| 8:55
| Indian Lakes is holding their annual Party in Parrotdise Party for all the Parrotheads out there. A woman came by from Indian Lakes yesterday to drop off some margarita mix. |
| 8:56
| Would Drew be allowed at that party or is he persona non grata out there? Who would he go with because he's broadless now. He could probably meet someone there. |
| 8:57
| News with Buzz |
| 8:58
| General David Petraeus will recommend that the U.S. not withdraw a significant number of troops from Iraq in the near future. |
| 8:59
| The Olympic torch arrived in San Francisco early this morning. It should be OK there, they've got a lot of flamers. |
| 9:00
| Hillary Clinton is again saying that she thinks President Bush should boycott the opening ceremonies. |
| 9:01
| We've had no relations with China for a long time and now we do. Steve would imagine they've been violating human rights for quite some time. So how is boycotting the opening ceremonies going to help the situation? They're just going to get mad and take it out on someone else. |
| 9:02
| If Clinton really believes Bush should boycott then maybe the U.S. should stop trading with them too. But we can't do that. It seems like the better thing to do is go to the ceremonies and whilst there, tell them to knock off all the stuff with killing the monks. Richard Gere is going nuts over it. |
| 9:03
| They've had the Olympics in all kinds of places where they abuse human rights. They didn't have the media feedback that they do now though. |
| 9:04
| South Korea's first astronaut flew into space today. On purpose? |
| 9:05
| Naomi Campbell has now been banned from flying British Airways after she was removed from a flight last week. She allegedly assaulted a police officer and had to be dragged off the plane kicking and screaming. |
| 9:06
| Celebrities who adopt children from third world countries are doing more harm than good according to researchers. The demand for children from the rich and famous are causing parents to send their kids to orphanages in hopes they'll be adopted by someone famous. |
| 9:07
| A newly passed ordinance by the city council will see an extra $1 added to all cab fares. Some drivers aren't happy with the solution but they'll take it. |
| 9:08
| Steve doesn't get this. What's the difference between a fare increase or an extra dollar? It's just a flat dollar for every ride? |
| 9:09
| Caller Chris has some info about the torch relay that he saw on BBC News. He doesn't need to cite sources, just to lord his BBC-watching over us. |
| 9:10
| Chris said that Brendan asked him where he got his info. Brendan would never do that. Chris is just trying to lord his knowledge over us. |
| 9:11
| According to what Chris saw on BBC the Nazis started the torch relay when Berlin hosted the Olympics in 1936. Buzz can see that being true though. |
| 9:12
| Chris might have been right. Fire had divine connotations, having thought to be stolen from the gods by Prometheus. |
| 9:13
| During the Olympic games in ancient Greece fires were lit at the temples of Zeus and Hera. |
| 9:14
| The Olympic flame was reintroduced at the Olympics in Amsterdam but it was the Nazis in 1936 who added the relay portion. |
| 9:15
| Hitler viewed it as the perfect way to show his belief that classical Greece was an Aryan forerunner of the German Reich. |
| 9:16
| Jesse Owens took care of all of that though didn't he? Single-handedly too. |
| 9:24
| Ben Gay is here for some sports. Buenos dias Buzz! Ben wasn't here last week, he was on spring break. What was he breaking? |
| 9:25
| Ben was down in Key West just having some fun, getting a tan, eating conch fritters. Just some fun with the boys. Ben had a partner for several years and he got his place in Key West as part of a settlement. |
| 9:26
| The Kansas Jayhawks, as Buzz knows, are National Champions. They beat Memphis 75-68 in OT. |
| 9:27
| The Cubs blew a 7-run lead but rebounded to beat the Pirates 10-8 in extra innings on an Aramis Ramirez sac fly. Derrek Lee would have liked to save the bullpen but he's happy with a win. Is he the manager now? |
| 9:28
| Joe Crede's tie-breaking grand slam in the 7th yesterday helped the Sox to a 7-4 win at their home opener. Ozzie Guillen was ejected for calling balls and strikes. |
| 9:29
| Illinois running back Rashard Mendenhall will visit Halas Hall before the April 26th NFL draft. |
| 9:30
| The Bulls slim playoff hopes are still alive but they need to win every game in order to make it. |
| 9:31
| Marquette selected assistant coach Buzz Williams to replace the recently departed Tom Crean. He stole Buzz's nickname! |
| 9:32
| The olympic torch arrived in secret in San Francisco this morning at 4 am. Ben has arrived in San Francisco at 4 am before. |
| 9:33
| After their game their game in Toronto last week several players from the Blue Jays and Yankees went to a local strip club. The Blue Jays bought the first round of drinks. |
| 9:34
| One dancer at the club said that she loves the Yankees but the Blue Jays players were very classy and great tippers. You want to take care of the women at your hometown strip club though. |
| 9:35
| Ben doesn't know what else there is, it seems like everything was already covered with Pat Boyle. |
| 9:36
| Ben's heading down to the Master's in Augusta this week. He can't get press credentials so he'll be in the gallery. He has to wear a disguise because he's banned from the course. He's the one who gave Fuzzy Zoeller that fried chicken idea. |
| 9:42
| What is Brendan doing in the studio? He's filling in for Buzz, who had to leave early. Alright, what does Brendan have planned? He's got a bit he was going to introduce to Steve. It doesn't work that way. |
| 9:43
| Only Buzz gets away with that, not Brendan some podcasting punk. Although Matt and Brendan did a turn on B96 on Sunday. They did a good job although Brendan pooched an intro on a song. He ran headlong into a Jay-Z song. |
| 9:44
| Steve got an email from Ron Kater, who's hassling him. From now on people are going to be named if they're hassling Steve. |
| 9:45
| Ron, responding to what Steve said about trying to talk about the Cubs more to balance things out, would prefer Steve talk less about the Sox. When did Steve say he should talk more about the Cubs? Maybe he did last year. |
| 9:46
| Talking less about the Sox is the same thing, it's still balancing things out. Ron believes that the reason Steve sees less coverage of the Sox on TV is because 2/3rds of the city is Cubs fan. Oh yeah?! Prove it! |
| 9:47
| This listener also doesn't like all the Blackhawks talk. It's not like Steve sits here analyzing every at-bat in a Sox game or something. This guy seems like one of those 100 year losers. |
| 9:48
| Steve started to talk about this before but he never finished it. When he was at the Sox game yesterday during the 7th Inning Stretch Ed had Steve Stone throwing t-shirts at Steve. |
| 9:49
| At some point he realized Steve wasn't getting to any of them so he gave up. He won't be pressured into doing it like Chris Singleton was last year. |
| 9:50
| Emailer Ron is also wondering why Steve refers to his boys by their first and last name. Steve doesn't want Ron as a listener any more if he's going to be like this. |
| 9:51
| The reason Steve says Matt Dahl is because when he was a kid he had a neighbor friend also named Matt. So if you were calling him home you'd need to say his full name. |
| 9:52
| Caller Butch recorded the Sox game yesterday and was hoping to see Steve during the Sox game yesterday, sitting next to the guy in the M & M jacket. Steve's going to do that but probably just for one inning. |
| 9:53
| Butch works for Comcast up in the Northern suburbs. Just last week Steve got a notice from Corecom that they were pulling out of his building and he was going to lose his T1 line. According to them they gave advanced warning about this. Luckily Comcast stepped in and hooked him up with a new line. |
| 9:54
| Butch will have to delete the game since he's not a Sox fan. He could watch it for a sweet grand slam. Although the Cubs are doing pretty well also. |
| 9:55
| Butch isn't a Hawks fan either. It seems like Cubs fans aren't Hawks fans based on that email and Butch. Maybe that's why the Hawks players were at the Sox game yesterday. |
| 9:56
| Caller Ron was wondering if Steve could give a shout-out to his son Noah who's singing the National Anthem at the Sox game on Sunday. He's raising awareness for autism. |
| 9:57
| What Brendan was going to tell Steve about earlier is Play Ball Chicago which is today in Daley Plaza. It's from 10 am to 3 pm with special appearances by Joe Crede, Brian Anderson, Harold Baines, Billy Williams, Bobby Dernier, Scott Sanderson and Bill Madlock. |
| 9:58
| The Picasso will be sporting a baseball hat with both the Cubs and Sox logos and in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Take Me Out to the Ballgame the U.S. Postal Service will unveil a new postal stamp for that occasion. |
