Big V is back to Bear Down on the season premiere of Virginia Monologues! El Dago proves quick like El Mago. Steve dreams of writing for Kenny Chesney. Dag is constantly refilling the ice tray. When he was 5 years old, he misunderstood how ice was made.

Janet prefers not to drive at night. Aaron Paul once appeared as a boisterous contestant on The Price is Right. It reminds Steve of lousy math during radio contests back in California. Dag and Poi Dog are remembered. But were they ever really forgotten?

Steve remembers traveling back and forth to Mexico as a youth. The smuggling scheme could be the genesis of today’s Slimeball Industries. Steve (Swedish meatballs), Dag (curry) and Brendan (Trader Joe’s mushroom ravioli) ate frozen dinners last night.

Citizen ideas are in for winter dining solutions in Chicago during the pandemic. We consider a few top submissions. Steve suggests another golden oldie for Expo ’76 to reject. Brendan and Steve trade “gotcha” moments. Steve does not accept Miracle Whip.

Subscribers rate the new system easy peasy. Like Moe Szyslak, Steve still covets Joey Heatherton. JBJ covers The Killers. Tom Thayer gave Jeff Joniak a pregame wake-up call. Jeff spilled balsamic dressing at Ford Field while Tom shaved in the press box.

Steve responds to listener emails and Support Steve handles tech questions. A haughty old WCKG business card gives the guys a giggle. It’s been 30 years since Emilio Estevez inspired Jon Bon Jovi to pen “Blaze of Glory” for the Young Guns II soundtrack.

Dag experiences connectivity issues. Steve guides him to a hotspot. Janet wants to order the Travis Scott meal at McDonald’s. It’s lit. The Keebler Tree is a goner, but a sidewalk debate rages on in Western Springs. Have you ever heard of a quesabirria?

Steve left his backup recorder on for 24 hours. Bun Busters were the very first skateboards, long before the Lords of Dogtown. Steve sent a late night text to Tom Thayer, disrupting his REM sleep. It was video of a surfer riding a huge wave in Portugal.

Steve is beyond well today. Although, he mistakenly thinks his son holds a degree in meteorology. Labor Day at the Dahl house ended with permanent marker used on a dry erase board. Little Cameron Dahl clearly understands the danger of upsetting Grandpa.

Steve used to get his haircut at Dean’s Barbershop in the 60s. He’d grab Red Vines on the walk home. Adam Sandler vs. Jim Carrey…who ya got? Smuckers enters the meat game with turkey and ham Uncrustables. With a name like Dahlcast, it has to be good.

Steve wants to know everyone’s all-time favorite Rolling Stones songs. Steve is making cheese enchiladas for a family soiree. Janet envisions a beef enchilada option. Steve met Tom Seaver when he played for the Sox. We cheer Janet up as fall approaches.

Steve wants to sell secondhand gear. Rest in peace Bob Rohrman. The auto czar created a legacy in Chicago, Indianapolis and Lafayette. Steve wasn’t invited to Rohrman’s 2002 wedding on Kauai. Keith clarifies details regarding Steve & Eric’s golf outing.

Might have been the 500 degrees!
