| Steve should steal that Cliff character back from Garry, right Buzz? Garry's not even on the air and Steve helped in the character design of Cliff. |
| 5:33
| Good morning from Chicago, near the lakefront. We're experiencing a lovely morning, Buzz Kilman is here and he's been working on the news since 1 am. How would that be from Cliff? |
| 5:34
| When Buzz hears Cliff it just makes him think of Garry Meier. That's not fair, Steve's content is much better. If Buzz says no then Steve won't do it. Garry is still under contract with CBS so technically we still own that character. |
| 5:35
| Steve should have registered Cliff as an intellectual property. He never saw that messy break-up coming. Garry and his wife went on their honeymoon and they came back and everything changed. |
| 5:36
| They had pizza in Larry Wert's basement and Elisa Chu, the show's producer at the time, had tapes of Steve talking about Garry when he was gone. What's the name of the Asian woman who turns on everyone? Tokyo Rose? Mata Hari? She's not really Asian. The worst thing that was said was that Steve and Garry would never split the money 50/50. |
| 5:37
| Garry might have already told his wife that they were splitting 50/50 so he was caught up in a little lie. Is this too much Cliff this morning? Buzz thinks that people might tune in and think Steve is stealing from Garry. He could just go the Howard Stern route and say he invented everything. |
| 5:38
| Howard's in New York so when he says he invented everything people believe him. Plus now he's on radio in space so it has an alien quality to it. He was saying he invented everything when he was on terrestrial radio too though. |
| 5:39
| Steve's in the mood to do a character, he just needs to switch over. Ben Gay is here, it's far too early for him though. He's actually still up from last night, he just wanted to check in and see if Buzz needed anything. |
| 5:40
| Ben did not see Buzz as the parade. Buzz doesn't even know what parade Ben's talking about. Sometimes Ben wonders about Buzz. It's the Pride Parade! |
| 5:41
| Is Ben supposed to do sports today, he can't remember? He figured he'd check in because if he went home he'd never wake up again. He's been rolling all night long. |
| 5:42
| Ben could do some sports while he's here. Buzz heard that Peyton Manning had his infected bursa sac removed. Who infected it? Ben considers himself an expert in sacs, and not just the sexy second basemen Steve Sax, but he doesn't know what a bursa sac is. |
| 5:43
| The bursa sac is in your knee, so Peyton had that removed. How does something like that happen? From spending too much time on your knees? It was a routine procedure and Manning should be back in 4-6 weeks. |
| 5:44
| Brett Favra was on Fox News last night. Would Buzz like to hear more about the bursa sac first? Ben's people are bringing him more information. Those are his sports people, his "interns" Hector and Luis. They're busboys at the club Ben was at last night. |
| 5:45
| Colts president Bill Polian (did he have polio?) described Manning's procedure as routine and the team's medical staff expects him to be back in action in 4-6 weeks. Colts training camp begins July 25th. That's very soon. |
| 5:46
| Manning has started 160 straight games going back to the first game of his rookie season. He would have the longest streak in the league if Favre retires. Manning said he feels that he's in a younger body even though he's 32. He's had great protection from his offensive line. He always knows the right thing to say, he's like a robot. |
| 5:47
| Meanwhile Brett Favra was on with Greta Van Susternanananan, who's from Wisconsin. She's part owner of the Packers. Brett told Greta that he was guilty of retiring early. |
| 5:48
| Did Buzz see the Home Run Derby last night? Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers (the team not the police officers) put on quite a show. He used to be a junkie, was kicked out of baseball for 3 years and then made a comeback. |
| 5:49
| His grandma yelled at him, then he found God and got clean and made a comeback. He hit 28 home runs in the first round of the Derby but still lost. His story is very inspiring though. |
| 5:50
| Hamilton said that he dreamt of being in the Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium. He has a lot of tattoos that he got when he was on drugs and says he's now embarrassed of them. Ben found them very sexy. |
| 5:51
| Ben's doing pretty good on the sports considering how out of it he is. He's on X and a few Zanax. It doesn't seem fair that Hamilton hit all those home runs in the first round and still lost. They totals carry over from the first to second round but not to the third round. |
| 5:52
| Hamilton had a 71-year-old guy pitching for him, his batting practice coach since he was in Little League. He did a pretty good job considering his age. |
| 5:53
| Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are still a couple which is devastating news to Buzz and Ben both. They were spotted enjoying unlimited breadsticks and salad at an Olive Garden in Wisconsin. Anyone can get unlimited breadsticks and salad, it's not just because they're celebrities. |
| 5:54
| The couple were also spotted at a seaside cottage in Florida, where Tony introduced Jessica to relatives, hand-in-hand. Jessica also quelled pregnancy rumors by downing a beer at a beach bar. |
| 5:55
| Alright well that's it for Ben. He wasn't scheduled but will he get paid for this? Buzz doesn't think so. Perhaps someone would bestow a sexual favor on him? Who should he speak to about that, Steve? Buzz thinks he should try Brendan. Ben would have thought Pete, he seems to be the most closeted of all the boys on the show. At the very least Brendan can point Ben in the right direction. |
| 6:02
| Did Pete watch that Home Run Derby last night? There was a cool moment last night when Chase Utley was being introduced and got booed. Yankees fans boo everyone but Chase was apparently more sensitive than others because he said "Boo? F-you!" but he actually swore right on ESPN. Pete has that audio if Steve wants to hear it. |
| 6:03
| Steve thought that was kind of awesome. Steve likes Chris Berman but at some point he needs to shut up during that Home Run Derby. He just can't stop talking. |
| 6:04
| Everyone is talking about how great the Josh Hamilton story is and Berman has to bring up how he thinks Tampa got screwed in the whole thing because they're the ones who first drafted him. Even Joe Morgan couldn't believe what he was saying. The guy was a junkie before he gets to the Major Leagues then rehabilitates himself and gets to the Majors. |
| 6:05
| Chris Berman just can't stop talking, he's a complete idiot. Steve does find it hot when Erin Andrews calls Berman "Boom" since that's also Steve's nickname. She also called Derek Jeter "Jeets" |
| 6:06
| It seems to Pete like Chris Berman has a list of New York locations that he wants to name as places where home run balls land and he just checks each one off the list. He probably had the thing about Tampa getting screwed on there too. |
| 6:06
| Pete agrees with Benjamin about the Derby scoring, it seems unfair. Who's Benjamin? Benjamin Gay! It does seem unfair that he hits 28 home runs in the first round and then comes out in the second round even though he doesn't have to. He just didn't want to be a jerk. |
| 6:07
| Steve went to bed after the Derby because he didn't want to watch a celebrity softball tournament with Whoopi Goldberg. At least Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman weren't playing. They've actually broke off their 5-year relationship. |
| 6:08
| That Sarah Silverman is hot, Steve once saw her in the Red Carpet Club at LAX. She's statuesque and she's funny. She was sitting there filing her nails, chewing gum, talking on her cellphone. She went full-on JAP. |
| 6:09
| Publicists for Silverman and Kimmel announced that the comedians had ended their 5-year relationship on Monday. How topical. Is this to explain their absence from the celebrity softball game? |
| 6:10
| Steve likes Jimmy Kimmel but it seems like he gets a little more credit for how funny he is because of how stilted Leno and Letterman and even Conan are these days. Buzz isn't a regular Kimmel watcher but whenever he drifts into his show something unusual is happening. |
| 6:11
| He's from radio and his show is more like a radio show. He has a lot of good people working around him too but he is still funny. Does Pete find that to be true or is Steve just jealous? |
| 6:12
| Well it's too bad that they broke up but maybe it's for the best. Steve was impressed by Sarah Silverman though. She gives off the crazy-hot vibe. And Steve doesn't like gum chewing, nail filing or talking on cellphones. |
| 6:13
| She caught Steve looking at her and didn't seem to mind. She didn't return the look though. There was no recognition like "You're Steve Dahl, you're in radio! You're much funnier than Jimmy" They didn't get it on in the Red Carpet cloak room. |
| 6:14
| Last year Buzz had kidney stones, let's just enjoy that moment again. Turns out global warming could bring a sharp increase in kidney stones in Illinois and other Midwestern states. That's according to a new study. |
| 6:15
| People in warm regions develop kidney stones by sweating in warm weather. That removes fluid from the body and increase salt concentration in urine. That can spur kidney stone growth. By the year 2050-"If man is still alive!"-a large chunk of Illinois will fall within America's "kidney-stone belt." |
| 6:16
| That song In the Year 2525 is such a weird song to write. Who decides to write a song about people living in the future eating out of plastic tubes? Steve might have to enjoy that song, he's going to buy it from iTunes. Once again he's putting money back into the show. |
| 6:17
| It starts off with some weird toreador/bullfighting music, it's so bizarre. But Zager suggested it to Evans and he loved it. |
| 6:18
| Song: In the Year 2525, Zager & Evans |
| 6:21
| That's Zager & Evans of Nebraska. It seems like one of them has a speech impediment. It's been a while since Steve heard that song, you don't get your food from a tube, you get your baby from a tube. You get your food from a pill. |
| 6:22
| If Buzz doesn't mind Bill Kurtis would like to do a dramatic reading of the lyrics to that song. It could be a future that we're doomed to live, although not Bill. |
| 6:23
| Bill performs his dramatic reading of Zager & Evans' In the Year 2525. They change it up to the year 7510 so they can get a rhyme with "then" |
| 6:24
| Apparently the 9500s are a tough time to live on Earth, man may not even be alive. What the hell are these idiots talking about? |
| 6:25
| Caller Janice plays music with the bass player and guitarist from Zager & Evans. Not Zager or Evans but they had a band of about 10 people. And these two guys are using that as their claim to fame? |
| 6:26
| The bass player actually went on to bigger things playing in bigger bands. It was two years before Janice learned the bass player was on their band, he's embarrassed about it. They both are actually, as it should be. |
| 6:27
| Well playing on In the Year 2525 isn't a bad claim to fame. It's a ridiculous song but Steve still likes it. |
| 6:35
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 6:36
| Alright time for the web poll. Once again yesterday's web poll escapes Steve. It was "Which music videogame do you prefer?" The choices were Rock Band, Guitar Hero or neither and 71% said neither. C'mon people, have some fun! |
| 6:37
| Even Steve likes Guitar Hero although he's only played it twice. Buzz feels that the 71% is people who don't play any videogames. Steve doesn't really play them either although he's been playing this game on his iPhone a lot lately. |
| 6:38
| A lot of the applications on the new iPhone can be downloaded to the old iPhone, including this game Cube Runner. There's also an AOL Radio application where Steve can stream Jack FM. |
| 6:39
| So on the new and old iPhone you can stream Jack FM if you're on the train or something. This might be why CBS made such a big deal about being on AOL, for this kind of streaming. |
| 6:40
| Steve tried to stream the Sox game the other night but MLB doesn't allow that because they're such a pain. Instead they were streaming something about enemas. |
| 6:41
| So yesterday's web poll was about videogames. Steve isn't generally a videogame person but he does play Guitar Hero and this game on his iPhone. He's not very good at the iPhone game though. |
| 6:42
| Today's web poll question is "Have you ever chess boxed?" It seems like something Buzz would like since he likes chess and boxing. |
| 6:43
| Chess and physical combat are being merged not only in the U.S. but in Europe where a bloodier version is flourishing. The slogan fro the World Chess Boxing Organization is "Fighting is done in the ring and wars are waged on the board." |
| 6:44
| The combo of chess and boxing traces it's roots back to a 1992 comic book, The Nikopol Trilogy, in which men of the future box on a chessboard floor. |
| 6:45
| In matches the competitors alternate between three-minute rounds of boxing and four-minute rounds of speed chess with one minute breaks in between to get the gloves off. The winner is determined by knockout, checkmate or referee decision. |
| 6:46
| 2008 World Champion Chessboxer Nikolaj Sazhin won by seizing his punch-drunk opponents queen in the fifth round of chess. So you beat the guy up so he can't think straight while playing chess. |
| 6:47
| European chess-boxing rose from the American hip-hop community's efforts to train children in chess alongside martial arts. Wu-Tang Clan's RZA is one of chess-boxing's biggest fans. |
| 6:48
| Steve can box but he can't play chess, he can't think that far ahead. Buzz thinks you really need to sit down and play chess for a while. |
| 6:55
| Live read: Townstone Financial |
| 6:56
| Steve wants to know what David told the guy in this live read that saved him $500 per month. This is a trick David pulls so Steve will call him. Steve's not being sucked in though. |
| 6:57
| Caller Jules is a hip-hop fan. He wanted to let Steve know that RZA is The RZA, pronounced Riz-uh. That's not a real name though. Jules is not involved in chess boxing though. |
| 6:58
| Steve isn't either but he's involved in chess stripping. He doesn't care how RZA pronounces his name either. He does think Wu-Tang Clan is a funny name but he doesn't want to bring in Brendan on this. |
| 6:59
| So we don't have anyone that's involved in chess boxing? Brendan had one caller on hold but he dropped out. Steve doesn't need a 20 minute explanation of what he already knows. Perhaps that person was lying, it seemed too good to be true. |
| 7:00
| The concept of chess boxing is feasible to Buzz. Steve didn't mean to be snippy to Brendan but it sounded like his mic was on the verge of feeding back. Steve didn't want to subject his ears or Buzz ears to that. |
| 7:01
| We need to start sending Brendan out in the morning. First of all it's funny and also when he's gone then the interns come up here to answer phones. Let's send him up to Wrigley, that's where they're having the All-Star Game right? |
| 7:02
| It's being suggested that Steve send Brendan out on his boat. Steve's taking his boat out this afternoon. He plans to go out, play with himself and then take a nap. Hopefully there's a girl in a bikini to look at. |
| 7:03
| Brendan should come up with some places to go and report on. There's nothing going on right now though. Jody Weis is going to be in front of the City Council today but that's not really funny. |
| 7:04
| How is what happened at The Taste Jody Weis' fault? It didn't even happen on Taste grounds, it happened in The Loop. And there were about a million people down here. Only 3 people got shot, that's not bad. |
| 7:05
| There was a drowning in Michigan yesterday but it didn't get reported here until yesterday afternoon. If you ever find yourself caught in a riptide it's impossible to get back to shore unless you're a really good swimmer. |
| 7:06
| So if you're in a riptide don't fight it, just float along with the riptide. Eventually it'll take you to shore. You probably won't be anywhere near where you started but eventually it goes back to shore and you can walk out. |
| 7:07
| That's probably hard to remember when you're actually in a riptide though. Steve learned that as a boy growing up in Southern California. |
| 7:08
| Steve doesn't mean this in any sort of pejorative way but it seems like the ethnic stations should broadcast that riptide information. It seems like we lose a lot of Hispanic and African-American people to riptide drownings. Steve could even record public service announcements with his character Rip Tide. |
| 7:09
| Caller Kevin grew up in Florida and he had never heard Steve's tip. He was always told to just swim along with the current. You can also do that but sometimes it's hard to tell which way the current is going. |
| 7:10
| They had warning signs up where that kid drowned but they don't really have instructions about what to do if you're caught in a riptide. |
| 7:11
| Steve would not want to be one of those divers who has to go into the lake and find someone's body. It's bad enough going diving and coming across an eel. |
| 7:12
| Caller Jim thinks Steve should send Brendan to Springfield. Blago and the House are trying to work on the budget but the Senate refuses to show up. So it could be funny to have Brendan standing in an empty room. Steve doesn't want to give Brendan a per diem. |
| 7:13
| Jim wanted to recommend a book to Steve. It's about a couple of divers who made a living taking people to the Andrea Doria wreckage. At one point they actually came across a U-Boat even though no U-Boats were known to have sunk in the area. |
| 7:14
| Steve thinks he read that book, is it about a father and a son who died at the wreckage? Jim can't remember the name of the book but it spanned several generations of a family. |
| 7:15
| The book Steve read also had some cave diving in Florida. It sounds like a different book than what Jim read. New rule, if you're going to recommend a book to Steve you need to know the title. |
| 7:23
| The book that the last caller was talking about was called Deep Descent: Adventure and Death Diving the Andrea Doria. Steve read The Last Dive: A Father and Son's Fatal Descent into the Ocean's Depths. |
| 7:24
| Both books are about the same U-Boat wreckage, the book Steve read was very good. He likes reading books about tragedies but the father and son were kind of idiots. The dad especially. |
| 7:25
| News with Buzz |
| 7:26
| GM chairman/CEO Rick Wagner will host a news conference in Detroit today. He's expected to announce restructuring within the company to cut costs. |
| 7:27
| Former Minnesota governor and pro wrestler Jess Ventura has decided that he will not be running for Senate at this moment. It's possible that God could come to him and change his mind. In the meantime Al Franken is running. |
| 7:28
| The estranged husband of a missing Army nurse is being charged with her murder. Marine Cpl. John Wimunc, of Sandwich, Illinois was also charged with first-degree arson. It seems like the military doesn't have great marriage counseling, wasn't there another guy who killed his wife and buried her in the backyard? |
| 7:29
| Tony Blair has cancelled his trip to the Gaza Strip today because of security concerns. Has Steve ever told Buzz about his plans to open an all-Arab strip club called The Gaza Strip? It's very hard to find women because they all come from such Conservative countries. |
| 7:30
| The ACLU is at odds with Flint, Michigan's police chief and his order to arrest anyone wearing sagging pants that expose their underwear or bare bottoms. The ACLU claims the right to wear baggy pants is protected by the Constitution. |
| 7:31
| Brett Favre says he pulled the retirement trigger too soon and is now looking to see what team would be interested in him. |
| 7:32
| The editor of the Tribune, Marie Lipinski, resigned yesterday after 30 years at the paper. She said it was a longtime coming and is not connected to one event. |
| 7:33
| Steve does know that it's Ann-Marie Lipinski, she gave him his job at the Trib. She's also a big fan of the show so hopefully she didn't hear Buzz call her Marie. |
| 7:34
| More controversy over whether The New Yorker's depiction of Barack Obama is just satire or a direct attack. Political advisor James Carville weighed in on the issue. |
| 7:35
| It can be satire but still be something that causes trouble when taken the wrong way by people who don't bother to read the article. It might be satire but it could be satire that's over some people's heads. |
| 7:36
| Drew Peterson's lawyers were in court yesterday asking a judge to drop gun charges against him. A weapon confiscated from Drew's house had a barrel that was 5 inches shorter than the law allows but he was a police officer when he purchased the gun. |
| 7:37
| Drew could face 5 years in prison if he is convicted of the charges. As far as Buzz can tell he's innocent. Drew appreciates his support. |
| 7:38
| Nearly 400 sewer grates and covers have been stolen in Flint, Michigan. Is this the Flint Report today? There's a lot going on there. |
| 7:39
| Can Steve just clear up that diving book thing for the last time? It'll drive him crazy if it doesn't, although that's a short drive. The guy's book is called Shadow Divers. |
| 7:40
| Steve swears to God though, the next time someone calls in to recommend a book and doesn't have the title he's going to take their information and pretend like he's giving them a prize, then hunt them down and beat them like a dog. |
| 7:47
| Drew's going to read more about his gun charges because he don't understand them neither. A Will County judge heard arguments Monday on whether to dismiss felony gun charges against Drew. He's suspected in the October 28th disappearance of his wife Stacy. |
| 7:48
| A grand jury indicted Drew on two counts of unlawful use of a weapon. He allegedly owned a gun that is nearly 5 inches shorter than allowed by state law. The rifle was found last fall when authorities executed a search warrant on his house related to the Stacy Peterson case. |
| 7:49
| Drew's attorneys Joel Brodsky and Andrew Abood argued that under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004 Peterson is authorized to carry and possess that weapon. Federal law permits law-enforcement officers and retired officers in good standing to carry a concealed firearm regardless of state or local laws. |
| 7:50
| His attorneys said that Peterson used the rifle when he was a police officer so he falls under the federal exception. When did this Abood guy become Drew's mouthpiece? He prefers Freckle-Face Grape to be his mouthpiece. |
| 7:51
| Assistant State's Attorney John Connor argued that Peterson was not charged with carrying the weapon but with possession of an illegal weapon. That is not protected by the federal act. |
| 7:52
| So basically he had the gun when he was no longer in good standing as a police officer, that's what they're saying right? This is a poorly written article. It seems like harassment to Buzz. |
| 7:53
| It seems like they might have a case against Drew though. It seems like a simple story but it's not reported that way. |
| 7:54
| It seems that no love was lost between Drew and the BPD though. No one likes him any more, what happened? Buzz still likes him. |
| 7:55
| Every article mentions that Drew is a suspect in Stacy's disappearance, how about a timeline of events for when he was a police officer and when he was fired. |
| 7:56
| It's been a while since there was any Drew news. He's looking for a good prank if anyone has any ideas. He doesn't know how Steve and Buzz do it every year. |
| 7:57
| Sometimes you get lucky and find the Bychowski's garage door opener in your missing wife's car but that sort of thing doesn't happen everyday. |
| 7:58
| Drew's been trying to get Amy Jacobson to come out to the house for a pool party but so far that hasn't worked out. So he's in between stunts right now but he's looking. |
| 7:59
| Drew is looking forward to the Buffett concerts though, he heard the station advertising them. He's going to put on the shirt from the Parrothead photo and just try to have fun. |
| 8:00
| It's starting to seem like she's not on vacation and maybe she met with foul play. Buzz was in Jamaica recently and he was keeping an eye out for Stacy. It would be hard to meet her, she's cute as a bug. |
| 8:01
| Time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. It's Taco Tuesday which means Steve and Buzz eat something. Steve ordered the Burrito Supreme, he got the idea during the Home Run Derby. |
| 8:02
| Taco Bell was sponsoring some portion of the Derby and Chris Berman likened a home run to a Burrito Supreme. |
| 8:03
| Song: Bolingbrookville, Steve Dahl |
| 8:07
| Caller Tony has an idea for Drew, like Racine and Chicago let's paint blue barrels all over Chicago. It'll be like the cows. How about all the barrels are blue but you fill them up with different things. |
| 8:08
| As a bonus prize for Tony, for his great suggestion, Buzz will be giving him Scarecrows from his personal movie library. Who's the luckiest listener in the world? |
| 8:09
| That's a good idea, blue barrel art. Or they could just be barrels painted different colors. It'd be nice if they'd be different shades of blue though. |
| 8:10
| Drew's trying to get his website back up and running, it was only there for a day. Apparently all of his financial needs were met. Drew's working on a mug that looks like a blue barrel, maybe he could sell it through the show? |
| 8:11
| Drew will have to talk to Adam, he's in charge of all promotional items like coffee mugs. Drew's got no job, he has to come up with ways to make money for the kids. |
| 8:12
| It's a functional mug too. Maybe the mug could be part of a gift basket with other items in it and that fake grass that things are nestled in. But you could take something out of there and leave a note that says "Your jelly beans ran off with another man" |
| 8:13
| Live read: The Little Guys |
| 8:21
| That was a rundown of some of Drew's greatest hits in that drop. When they executed the first search warrant he said "I'll keep an overdue library book again." They also mentioned his American flag bandana and NYPD hat. Or was it NYFD? |
| 8:22
| Caller Doug has a great idea for the blue barrel mug. When you pour the hot liquid in the mug maybe it could change colors and a silhouette of a person would appear. |
| 8:23
| When the silhouette starts to disappear you know that your beverage is getting cold or that it ran off with another man. |
| 8:24
| Drew is guilty of only one thing, falling in love over and over. He's a romantic and that never gets said. He might be a jokester and a Parrothead but he's also a romantic. He loves being in love. |
| 8:25

| 8:26
| Steve's lunch today is a sloppy joe sub. He's not sure what the portion is but it's on a whole grain bun and it's delicious. |
| 8:27
| Alright it's Peanut Butter Jelly Time with Comcast's Pat Boyle. It is Steve's severe and fervent hope that someday Erin Andrews calls Pat Boyle Peanut Butter one day. |
| 8:28
| Pat thinks she might not be able to remember the Peanut Butter part, she'd just call him Peanut. Is that a slam on Erin? Pat just thought she struggled a bit last night. Does Pat just have to say that because his wife is listening? Or will Kerry Sayers or Gayle Fischer beat him up? |
| 8:29
| It's not Pat Boyle's world but he enjoys watching her with the volume off. Steve thinks Pat is wrong about this but because he's in the sports industry he might be jealous. He probably thinks women shouldn't be in the industry anyway. |
| 8:30
| Steve thinks she's good looking and she did a good job reporting last night. Pat seems to really hate her though. It's not easy when you're being piped over the PA like that. |
| 8:31
| If you want to talk about idiots let's talk about Chris Berman. He probably does have great boobs under the Manssiere Everyone is talking about Josh Hamilton's great story and Berman unnecessarily brings up the fact that he thinks Tampa got screwed. When Joe Morgan is the voice of reason that's not good. |
| 8:32
| Hamilton's story is amazing, not only his drug recovery but what he's done this year and what he did last night. Plus he had this old batting practice coach throwing to him last night. |
| 8:33
| They need to change the rules on that Derby though. Hamilton hits 28 in the first round and then comes out for the second round even though he doesn't have to. By the third round he's tired out but his home run totals don't carry over. |
| 8:34
| At some point though Chris Berman just needs to shut up during the derby. After the first round Hamilton spoke to Steve's favorite sideline reporter, Erin Andrews. |
| 8:35
| What's so bad about that interview? Pat wants to know what Buzz thinks? Her voice is a little whiney, like nails on a chalkboard to Pat. What's with everyone? |
| 8:36
| Caller Eric is another hater. When the whole Derby was over Erin Andrews went over to interview Hamilton even though he didn't win. Then she walked away from Justin Morneau, who went running after her. Hamilton was the story though. |
| 8:37
| Even if Erin Andrews was bad Steve would rather watch her than Andrea Kraemer. It looks like she's about to be hit by a train. Chris Singleton also has that look on ESPN, we can all agree on that. Steve doesn't want to hear any more bad things about Erin Andrews. |
| 8:38
| Caller Mike has something for Steve that might interest in his free time. He has plenty of free time today. Erin Andrews used to be a member of the University of Florida dance team in the late 90s. |
| 8:39
| There are tons of videos of Erin on YouTube highlighting some of her dance moves. That doesn't make her any less of a journalist to Steve but it does to one Peanut Butter. |
| 8:40
| Pat imagines these videos will go right next to Erin's Emmy reel. His bitterness is really unbecoming. |
| 8:41
| Steve saw Erin Andrews covering a Sox game and she was definitely a distraction to the team. If she ever went into a lockerroom she'd have a leg up on other reporters. Steve didn't want to say "leg up" for a third time today but he was listening to Get a Leg Up on his iPod yesterday. |
| 8:42
| Buzz is seeing some interesting criticism of Erin Andrews online though. One person said that she has a weird body with a big head, skinny body but with broad shoulders. Is that Pat posting that? |
| 8:43
| Buzz is doing to go home and check out more of these YouTube videos of Erin Andrews though. This could be his new Shakira. |
| 8:44
| Maybe Pat should work on Comcast. Steve watched Dan Plesac spend 20 minutes trying to explain a balk and Steve still doesn't understand it. And he was on a baseball diamond with no rubber. |
| 8:45
| Pat probably knows people who knows Erin Andrews since he used to work at ESPN. He never made it to the big network and that's where the bitterness comes from, being passed by Erin Andrews in a hot little outfit. |
| 8:46
| Steve wouldn't mind taking Erin under his wing though. Pat would see a change in her, not only would she be nice to look at but she'd have great content too. |
| 8:54
| In all fairness to the ladies at Comcast Sportsnet, Steve finds them to be quite attractive as well. Steve likes both of them and they do a good job. And if they're ever interested in a three-way, give Steve a call. Steve could take them under their wing as well. He's tried to in the past but they've rejected it. |
| 8:55
| There's something on YouTube last night where Erin is being made fun of calling Justin Morneau by his correct name. The guy from State Farm called him Jason Morneau but she had the right name. Why can't women be good-looking and a good reporter? |
| 8:56
| Steve's not saying she's on par with Bob Costas or anything. That guy is the greatest. He made a hockey intermission interesting! |
| 8:57
| Pat saw Eddie Olczyk yesterday, he's gearing up for the Blackhawks convention this weekend. Eddie will be on TV with Pat this season, he's excited about it. |
| 8:58
| The All-Star Game is on Fox tonight so no Erin Andrews. Instead we get Lady Godiva, Jeannie Zelazko. You also get Ken Rosenthal on the sidelines. |
| 8:59
| Running back Kevin Jones, from the Lions, is going to visit Halas Hall today. If everything checks out the Bears could sign him to a one-year deal. What about a quarterback? Is Brett Favre available? |
| 9:00
| Pat's phone is doing that thing again. He says it's his land line but Steve thinks it's one of those lines over the internet. |
| 9:01
| There's a report that the Bears are also interested in Chris Simms from Tampa Bay. Steve still likes Kyle Orton but the Bears don't seem interested in letting him prove himself. |
| 9:02
| So where does Brett Favre end up? The Vikings want him but if he wants to play he'll have to go to Green Bay. This thing could get ugly though. |
| 9:03
| Favre was on On the Record with Greta Van Susternan last night, she's from Appleton and is a shareholder in the Packers. |
| 9:04
| It's hard to believe that Brett isn't telling the truth. It almost sounded like he was going to start crying like he normally does. It seems like he shouldn't have decided if he was going to play until now. He was trying to do the right thing though. |
| 9:05
| He probably spent 6 months on the farm down in Mississippi and decided he would rather be in Green Bay. |
| 9:06
| Steve will be watching the All-Star Game tonight because he has nothing else to do. They're usually pretty fun though. They do need to change the rules of the Home Run Derby though. |
| 9:07
| Buzz is definitely going to check out the rest of those YouTube videos today, as will Steve. Steve wouldn't be surprised if Erin Andrews reached out to him after hearing his defense of her. Actually he would be surprised. |
| 9:08
| Steve normally doesn't like the God stuff with the recovering addicts but he was OK with it last night with Josh Hamilton. |
| 9:09
| Not only is his recovery impressive but just the fact that he could come back and play like this after being out of the game for so long. That's a good thing in the post-steroid era. |
| 9:10
| It was clear last night that none of the Home Run Derby participants were on steroids. Lance Berkman is big but he's just fat. If any of those guys were on steroids then they're being ripped off. |
| 9:11
| All Steve knows is that Erin Andrews is hot and she does a good job. Can Buzz get that word out? Does he know people who can help with that? |
| 9:12
| Last night David Ortiz, Big Papi, was talking to Erin Andrews. After it was done he just looked back to check out her ass. |
| 9:20
| On YouTube they make fun of Erin Andrews for saying Justin Morneau but that's his name! Why would she want to interview him anyway, Josh Hamilton is the story. Justin Morneau just ruined it. |
| 9:21
| Steve is defending Erin Andrews. They had that Lisa Guerrero on Monday Night Football but they got rid of her. It's like you can't be good looking and be a good reporter? |
| 9:22
| Live read: McCracken Financial |
| 9:23
| Pat Boyle is back on the phone, he thinks Steve is off his rocker if he thinks Lisa Guerrero is a good sideline reporter. The reason she's gone is because she didn't do a good job. |
| 9:24
| Pat was at ESPN when Lisa was on Monday Night Football. They used to practice her sideline report before she went live, it was Must-See-TV in the ESPN newsroom. |
| 9:25
| Steve never really cared about Lisa Guerrero's content though. Pat might be a little tougher on her because he's in the industry. |
| 9:26
| Lisa Guerrero does have a website, let's see what she's up to. It is a bad sign that she has a website about how hot she is. She is hot though! Who cares what kind of report she does? |
| 9:27
| Lisa Guerrero and her husband executive produced a movie, The Plumm Summer. Buzz was hoping it was soft porn but it doesn't look like it. Steve sees one of the Baldwin brothers, if it's anyone but Alec you're in trouble. You can tell how much trouble you're in depending on which Baldwin brother is in your movie. If it's Daniel you're dead. |
| 9:28
| WOuld Buzz like to know more about Lisa? She's a 14-year broadcasting vet, one of the most popular broadcasters in the country. Take that Pat Boyle! |
| 9:29
| Lisa has covered some of the biggest events on television from the Oscars and Golden Globes for E! to the Super Bowl, World Series and NBA Finals. She also covered the World and National Figure Skating CHampionships and the Tournament of Roses parade. Is that why Pat is jealous, he's always wanted to cover the Tournament of Roses. |
| 9:30
| Lisa is currently seen by 6 million viewers a day as a correspondent for Inside Edition. She also hosted the weekend edition of Extra. Is that what Pat O'Brien was kicked off of? |
| 9:31
| Buzz went to Carrie Underwood's website and he doesn't think anyone should be selling her short. Where did that come from? Buzz thought someone brought her up. Steve doesn't remember but we can check out her website anyway. Carrie Underwood is good looking though. |
| 9:32
| Buzz thought someone mentioned Carrie Underwood. Maybe 2 years ago when she won American Idol. She was dating Tony Romo at some point, he was working them at the same time. The key is to get them together. |
| 9:33
| Steve doesn't fault Buzz for checking out hot girls on the internet though. Carrie seems so talented for a sportscaster too! She's actually very popular as a singer. Now that Buzz knows who she is he's remembering all of it, she's huge. |
| 9:34
| She's got one song about how some guy cheated on her so she keyed his cars. Country music seems especially advanced lately. Buzz loves that one Brad Paisley song about checking a girl for ticks. Maybe he should wander down and down an hour with Ramblin' Ray. |
| 9:35
| Peanut should feel free to call back if Steve says anything else so egregious that he can't handle it. Does Pete have any Lisa Guerrero he can dig up? The only thing he has is her from a Monday Night Football game reporting on Urlacher dating Paris Hilton. Let's hear that for old time's sake. |
| 9:36
| Was Urlacher still married when he started dating Paris? He wasn't married but Steve thought the divorce wasn't very public. We're willing to put up with certain behavior. We probably would have accepted him dating Paris while still being married. He's a football player, he's got needs we can't imagine. |
| 9:37
| It's ironic that Lisa says she was ashamed she knew about Urlacher and Paris and then later ends up on Inside Edition. It sounded like a fine report to Steve though. You need a Lisa Guerrero to interview Paris Hilton. |
| 9:38
| Steve saw Urlacher on a Vitamin Water commercial last night playing badminton with David Ortiz. Urlacher got a lot of money from Vitamin Water. He wore all that stuff at the Super Bowl and got fined but it was a drop in the bucket compared to what he was being paid in endorsements. |
| 9:39
| You can see why Brian Urlacher is so bitter can't you? HIs contract issue hasn't been resolved right? Pat thinks they'll sweeten the deal and everything will work out. You never know with these guys. |
| 9:40
| Why can't you just live here, keep your yapper shut and pretend like you like it. In exchange you get $300 million. Instead he's back in Arizona bad rappin'˜ everything. |
| 9:48
| That's Steve from the Radio Roundtable last Friday, keeping it real. We've gotten to the bottom of Buzz's Carrie Underwood mention. He thought she worked at Comcast Sportsnet, he's confusing Carrie Underwood with Kerry Sayers. |
| 9:49
| News with Buzz |
| 9:50
| General Motors announced plans to cut salaried employee costs by 25% and will also borrow $4 billion to increase it's liquidity. It will also restructure the company in a shift away from truck and SUV production. |
| 9:51
| Jesse Ventura announced on Larry King Live last night that he would not run for Senate. The decision came down to a choice between surfing and the Senate. Where does he surf in Minnesota? |
| 9:52
| There's been a lot of debate over The New Yorker's depiction of Barack Obama and his wife. Is it satire or not? Political analyst James Carville doesn't think The New Yorker went too far. It is satire so that's a pointless debate. The point is whether or not the satire goes over the heads of a lot of voters and Steve thinks it does. |
| 9:53
| Although the people who think that stuff about Barack Obama thought that way before this and won't get off that either. |
| 9:54
| There's a new poll out from the Quinnipiac University that gives Barack Obama a 9 point lead over John McCain for President. |
| 9:55
| A man in Denton, Texas attempting to rob the Pizza Patròn restaurant got the works when the employee punched him in the face. Pizza Patròn is a chain of pizza places that cater to Hispanic customers, that's a untapped market. |
| 9:56
| The young Cubs fan struck in the head with a foul ball over the weekend at Wrigley may leave the hospital today. His doctor said that he's fairly out of the woods. Last night Steve was looking at the Tribune website before he went to bed and there was an article about what you can do to prevent being hit with a foul ball at a game. Their advice? Pay attention. That's from stadium experts. |
| 9:57
| North Carolina officials have charged a U.S. Marine from Sandwich, Illinois with the murder of his wife. Another Marine is charged with conspiracy to commit murder. |
| 9:58
| Jody Weis will appear before the City Council today to answer questions about how he plans to lower the city's murder rate. |
| 9:59
| Can Steve show Buzz something on TV? Brett Favre was practicing with a high school football team in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. How awesome would that be if you're on that team? |
| 10:00
| Steve has a quick email he'd like to read. He recently discovered the show and also the Matt Dahl Show. They're doing podcasts again at night. |
| 10:01
| The emailer can't listen to the show so he's not sure if this has been covered but in addition to everything else we know about Drew Peterson, he's also moonlighted as a wedding photographer. |
| 10:02
| About five years ago the emailer was at a wedding at the new Holiday Inn in Bolingbrook and in retrospect Drew was the photographer. Add that to the list, jokester, Parrothead, wedding photographer. |
