| Live from Chicago, the Stev Dahl Show with Buzz Kilman on a rainy Friday. We're live? So many of today's shows are recorded but we're live. From 5:30 to 6 am many of the shows are recorded. |
| 5:33
| Steve just wanted to stress the live aspect even though so far nothing great has happened. But it could happened, you never know. |
| 5:34
| We're going to be talking to Patrick Bertoletti at 6 today and Steve has to warn Buzz that he's in a state. That's probably because he lost big at Nathan's. Steve knows that, Buzz knows that and Patrick knows it. |
| 5:35
| Nathan's is the big one and he lost by 20 hot dogs. Steve doesn't want to be mean to him but at the same time we can't overlook it because of all his bravado. Buzz imagines that fortunes were lost on this. |
| 5:36
| Well for starters he didn't win the first place prize money. Steve was actually thinking of just ignoring it but Buzz went right for it and now he's following him in. It seems to Steve like you don't have to win Nathan's to be a successful competitive eater though. |
| 5:37
| Patrick is sort of like the Anna Kournikova of competitive eating. He never wins the big one but he's well-known. And he looks great in a short skirt. It's like Greg Norman in golf, he's famous but he's never won the big one. Buzz just heard that he maried Chris Everett, who looks like a dude. His loss this year was worse than last year's though, it was a trouncing. Somewhere in Pilsen a gun just went off. |
| 5:38
| Maybe Steve and Buzz should just wait until Patrick calls in to talk about this. If he wants to win Nathan's he'll have to change his training routine or something. Steve doesn't really care, he finds the whole thing gross. He didn't even watch it. |
| 5:39
| Hot dogs aren't really Patrick's discipline but it seems like Nathan's is the Super Bowl of competitive eating. Steve still doesn't get how this thing helps Nathan's though, it's not appetizing. |
| 5:40
| Steve actually forgot the competition was on so that's why he didn't watch it. Buzz was in Jamaica when it was going on. Aimee caught some coverage of it but she didn't know what Patrick looked like. All she knew was that it came down to an eat-off between an Asian guy and an American. But the American didn't have a mohawk. |
| 5:41
| It seems like Patrick is mainly interested in going to Nathan's and eating some hot dogs, then getting drunk and nailing chicks. He's not that good looking either, he looks like Ichabod Crane. |
| 5:42
| Pete was actually at Nathan's cheering Patrick on, although he didn't talk to him until afterwards. Pete's a big spender taking his lady to the free hot dog eating competition after staying in her apartment because he doesn't want to get a hotel room. |
| 5:43
| Pete should have gotten closer to the stage to cheer Patrick on, maybe we can blame all of this on him. Pete was going to call Patrick and wish him luck but he didn't know what his pre-game ritual. Whatever it is it doesn't seem very good. |
| 5:44
| Pete was not very close to the stage because he didn't get into the family section. Patrick invited him but he would have had to get here at 7:30 in the morning and then wait around until noon. |
| 5:45
| Patrick looked like an ant from where Pete was so he didn't even take any pictures. That's quite a life he leads. He was also behind some girl wearing a big foam hot dog hat so he couldn't see anything. |
| 5:46
| Steve hates when that happens. At Hawks games they sell these giant foam cowboy hats for kids to wear. Why would you sell something that's going to block the view of other fans? And what do cowboy hats have to do with hockey? |
| 5:47
| Then Pete probably came up with an excuse to not go on the cyclone and called it a day right? During the trip they went to the Empire State Building but as soon as Pete got in the lobby he turned around. He's quite a catch. |
| 5:51
| It seems like Nathan's shortened the length of the contest because it lessened the odds of contestants puking up hot dogs on TV. They said on ESPN that it was to preserve the sport though. |
| 5:52
| Buzz, as usual, was right, Greg Norman did marry Chris Everett. They were married last month in the Bahamas. That's according to People. The couple wed at sunset in front of guests. The pair announced their engagement last winter. |
| 5:53
| The golfing legend booked 200 hotel rooms an exclusive hotel. That's the La Pamilla like in Cancun. Actually it's not called the La Pamilla. Norman and his first wife announced last year that they had come to terms on splitting their $500 million fortune. $500 million?! |
| 5:54
| The One and Only Ocean Club is the hotel in case Buzz is wondering. It's not all-inclusive so Steve doesn't want Buzz going there and pitching a fit. He loves the buffet, even if it's full of goat meat. |
| 5:55
| The one in Cabo is where Charlie Trotter's restaurant is. Buzz went there and Charlie magically appeared at his table like a superhero. He's got one in Las Vegas now that he invited Steve to. |
| 5:56
| If you go to Dahl.com you can see a photo of Stephanie and Vicki waiting in line for the new iPhone. You can only get one per person because Apple is insane. Steve's not even sure why he buys into it but he's in too deep. |
| 5:57
| Buzz is on Dahl.com, there's a photo of Steve golfing too! Has he ever been to Dahl.com? There's also a history of tilapia. Steve got an email from a listener yesterday who couldn't believe Buzz didn't know what tilapia was, it's everywhere. It's not funny if both Steve and Buzz know what tilapia is though. |
| 5:58
| Steve's going to call Stephanie in line. They are 7th and 8th in line which isn't bad. Vicki in the background says they're 8th and 9th actually. That's Vicki, bringing Stephanie down. |
| 5:59
| Has Vicki stopped talking yet? She's quite the talker but not in a bad way. Although in Steve's office today he heard Vicki bring up 100 different topics. She's also got the nice cupcake galloshes on. |
| 6:00
| Steve feels silly buying into the iPhone but he has to have one and he has to have one today. The last time the iPhone came out Steve ended up with three of them because other people were also trying to get them for him. |
| 6:01
| WIth the first iPhone people figured out a way to activate the iPhone with other cellphone plans. This time around Apple has made it so you can only get one phone and you have to activate it in the store. It's like voluntarily putting yourself in prison. Stephanie had to go through a lot of stuff just to get the whole thing set up, it's like buying a house. |
| 6:02
| Should we talking to Patrick now? Will Buzz try to be nice? Buzz likes Patrick but he just wants to see this for what it is and move on. What's Patrick up to, is he standing on the chair with a rope around his neck? |
| 6:03
| Patrick was doing that the night of the contest. He got into a bottle of Jack Daniels and had some hot dogs, since he didn't eat enough during the competition. Maybe he's drinking too much? |
| 6:04
| Patrick just blew it, he doesn't know what else to say. So let's recap then, Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut tied with 59 hot dogs and then had to go into an eat-off where Chestnut won. Patrick was 21 off the pace. |
| 6:05
| So what happened then? Patrick thought he dogs were just slow. It was humid so the dogs weren't as warm and the buns weren't great either. But Kobayashi and Chestnut were so far ahead of everyone else. |
| 6:06
| What is Patrick's pre-game ritual because Buzz was concerned about it? 2 days before Nathan's Patrick ate 51 hot dogs. Does that help? 3 days before he ate 62, it sounds like he peaked early. |
| 6:07
| Buzz still doesn't get the point of training though. If Patrick has a good training run he feels more confident. He ate 62 hot dogs a few days before but did it in more than 10 minutes. |
| 6:08
| It sounds like Patrick is all over the place with his training. Was it because Steve didn't come, is that it? Pete was there! He said Patrick was in a purple suit. |
| 6:09
| Patrick was dressed like Willy Wonka and he had this whole intro planned where he'd limp up there and then do a sommersault like in the movie. But that all got cut out of the ESPN coverage. |
| 6:10
| Maybe Steve and Buzz need to go next year then. Buzz won't go of course, he's already booked his trip to Jamaica. They wouln't let him leave unless he booked for next year! |
| 6:11
| Patrick needs some sort of expert to help him figure out what to do. Maybe some sort of doctor who knows about the limitations of what he can eat. Sadly Patrick is sort of the expert here. |
| 6:12
| We need some sort of gastrointerologist or an internist or something, some sort of doctor. Patrick thinks they know more about this stuff in Japan. |
| 6:13
| Maybe Patrick should knock of the shennanigans a bit. If he wins then he can come out in the purple suit. You can't do that and then come in 4th place. |
| 6:14
| Patrick's next competition is at the Taste of Lincoln in Chicago, he'll be eating Jimmy John's sandwiches. It's more of an expo or a sideshow than an actual competition. It sounds sort of like Joe Lewis greeting people when they come into the casino. We call him the Mopey Mohawk. |
| 6:15
| The next televised competition is the Krystal Burger in September. Patrick thinks he's put the Nathan's competition behind him. |
| 6:16
| Steve still wants to look ahead to next summer though. First of all, knock off the shennanigans. When Patrick wins then he can wear the "You Talkin' to Meat?" t-shirt or dress like Willy Wonka. |
| 6:17
| With winning comes the shennanigans and then the groupies. Does Joey Chestnut get women as the #1 eater? You'd think they'd all be fat chicks but they're really not. |
| 6:18
| When Patrick wins Nathan's then he puts on the purple velvet suit, grabs three ladies and goes back to the hotel room. That kind of photo with him and the ladies ends up in some newspaper along with the story of Patrick celebrating the victory on the town with A-Rod and Madonna. |
| 6:19
| It does seem like Patrick easily distracts himself in these competition. He's 23 though so he's an idiot. But he had 60 hot dogs a few days before the competition so he can do it. |
| 6:20
| Steve still doesn't get how your system cleans out that many hot dogs in a day and he doesn't want to know. But it seems like that's something to look at in the future. |
| 6:21
| Patrick said he usually drinks a lot of water the day before the competition to stretch his stomach out. Maybe he should be doing that and not eating the hot dogs. Then the hot dogs actually look good to him at the competition. |
| 6:22
| Steve prefers his Nathan's with some deli mustard and he usually can eat three at the airport in New York. Steve would demand that the hot dogs are presented in a way that's appetizing to him though, not cold with bloated buns. Of course Steve is the guy who couldn't eat the 72 ounce steak in Texas. |
| 6:28
| That was a bizarre form of torture Pete just laid on Steve. He played some audio from the Big Texan incident but not the money shot. The money shot is the disappointment in the boy's voices as they're pleading with Steve to keep eating. |
| 6:29
| Pete did play the right tape and Steve was the one who set it up anyway. Pete thinks Steve should go back on the anniversary of the incident and try to eat the steak again. |
| 6:30
| Pat Dahl stopped at the Big Texan on his drive back from California and he got Steve a t-shirt. He didn't attempt to eat the steak though. Steve does want to go back but how can he just go to Amarillo for the weekend for a piece of steak that's not great. |
| 6:31
| Pat and his wife are living in Steve and Janet's basement, they're like Polish people or Indian people. They're multigenerational. Yesterday Steve came home and Pat said "Can I tell you something because you're not going to like to hear this?" He was in his underpants at the computer when he said this but that's his job. He writes for that Rotoworld so he's on the computer all day so you can't even tell him to get dressed and go to work. |
| 6:32
| Pat goes from computer to computer in the house working in various states of undress. When Steve got home Janet had a friend over so he had to go into the back room and acclimatehimself. |
| 6:33
| He thought he'd just sit there but Pat was working. He thinks Steve needs to go get his sinuses checked out because he's sniffling on the air too much. Isn't this Buzz's favorite thing about Pat, his attention to detail when riding Steve? |
| 6:34
| Pat said that the last time he told Steve to get checked out he had a sinus infection. Steve doesn't really remember that but he might have gone to the doctor just to get medicine. |
| 6:35
| So Steve had to up to his room and see if he was sniffling too much. It's not that he doesn't like Janet's friend though but he didn't want to talk about dog parks. |
| 6:36
| So Pat wasn't the safe harbor Steve was looking for and he hasn't even been home for a week yet. Steve actually thought going into the kitchen would be better. Steve likes all of Janet's friends but they're all just a bit too happy. |
| 6:37
| Steve would usually just go to the basement when he came home but that's where Pat and Rachael are set up. Buzz has his own room in the house and it seems like his family actually prefers it when he's in there. |
| 6:38
| Steve was already coming off a bad call to the house on his way home. Janet had just come home from the store where she was buying her friend a book. That caused Steve to ask why the friend couldn't buy her own book. He doesn't even know why he said it, it just came out. |

| 6:40
| Alright time for the web poll. Yesterday's web poll was...we were talking about...why can't Steve ever remember these things. It was flip-flops because we talked about it for two hours. |
| 6:41
| The flip-flop discussion ended up being a hot-button issue. We got a lot of phone calls and after the show Steve got a ton of emails about it. People are very passionate about flip-flops. 78% of the people polled said they're addicted to flip-flops. |
| 6:42
| Today's web poll question is "Should Big Z star the All-Star game?" No Cub has started the All-Star game since Claude Passeau in 1946. He was the loser. |
| 6:43
| NL Manager Clint Hurdle has not announced his choice but it could be Zambrano who has the league's third best ERA. Zambrano's final start before the All-Star game was Wednesday when he shut down the Red allowing one hit through 8 innings. |
| 6:44
| Well best of luck to everyone there. Jermaine Dye did not make the Final Vote, he lost out to Eva Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays. Apparently now that they're a good team their fans are coming to games? How does Tampa have more fans voting than Chicago though? |
| 6:45
| Steve's fine with Dye not making it, he's likes when stuff happens that makes the team mad. They lost last night though, it was a bad game. There was an inside the park home run to the lowly Royals! |
| 6:46
| The Cubs lost too but if you're looking on the bright side the Cubs and Sox took 2 of 3 from division opponents. The game made Steve so mad that he couldn't get to sleep until midnight. |
| 6:47
| Steve gets really amped up when he lays out his clothing for the next day, maybe he should try to do that earlier. He puts it in a different room so he spends a lot of time going between that room and his bedroom. |
| 6:48
| Steve does it around 10 so right there he's freaky out becuase it's already 10. He shouldn't be laying his clothes out that late. Then he worries that he can't get to sleep. |
| 6:49
| Steve will be on The Score today from 11 am to 1 pm, live at Smith & Wollensky. It's a roundtable with Eddie & Jobo, Ramblin' Ray, Pat Cassidy and Lin Brehmer. |
| 6:55
| Live read: Fresh Diet |
| 6:56
| Steve is back on the Fresh Diet. He actually lost 3 pounds during the hiatus which is a first for him. Buzz put on 5 pounds but he had fun doing it. |
| 6:57
| Steve's trying to call Stephanie, she's in line for the new iPhone. Sometimes Steve has trouble dialing this phone and talking at the same time. |
| 6:58
| Stephanie is at the AT & T store, you could either go there or the Apple Store. It was decided that the AT & T store would be less crazy. The Apple Store is where all the geeks will go, like a Star Wars convention. |
| 6:59
| Stephanie and Vicki are 9th and 10th in line and there are a lot of people behind them now. Stephanie even worked through an issue earlier in the week when she went in to pre-order the phone. They accidentally shut off his data package so he couldn't send text messages. |
| 7:00
| Stephanie had to make sure that wouldn't happen today. She can really get the job done, there are different levels of threats with her. She talked to her guy Cedric and he straightened everything out. She didn't see him today though, maybe he's afraid of her. |
| 7:01
| Stephanie was able to send Vicki to get some coffee and bagels from Dunkin' Donuts. Stephanie went with a mocha and an onion bagel with cream cheese. She loves onions! Vicki got the cinnamon raisin. |
| 7:02
| Steve appreciates the girls waiting for the phones for him. He doesn't know why he buys into this Apple stuff but he had to have it. Janet wanted one anyway so Steve might as well just get two, it's better than waiting himself. |
| 7:03
| Buzz probably has no use for an iPhone though, he barely uses the phone he has now. Aimee got him another phone where you pay by the minute but it didn't have good signal strength. Did he throw that one out the window? |
| 7:04
| By the way that article Buz did a few weeks ago abøut cellphones giving off enough radiation to pop a bag of popcorn, that was fake. It was a viral marketing campaign started by Bluetooth. |
| 7:05
| Before Buzz does the news Steve has to clear up the web poll because Ed is going crazy. 78% of the people aren't addicted to flip-flops. Ed hates flip-flops! |
| 7:06
| News with Buzz |
| 7:07
| OPEC is warning that the price of oil will continue to rise. The head of OPEC said Iran's production can't be replaced and blames current geopolitical tensions with them for the rising costs. |
| 7:08
| Steve got an email yesterday from all the airlines asking him to talk to his Senator about making oil speculation illegal. It seemed sort of far-fetched. It seems like they should come up with another plan here. |
| 7:09
| President Bush has signed the FISA act. It gives phone companies retroactive immunity for post 9/11 phone tapping and monitoring. |
| 7:10
| Senator Phil Gramm has called the U.S a nation of whiners. John McCain is trying to distance himself from his own campaign's financial advisor following those comments. |
| 7:11
| You won't get dog in China during the Olympics. The Chinese government has told restaurants to take dog off their menus. |
| 7:12
| SAG has rejected the last best offer from Hollywood studios. The studios basically said "take it or leave it" |
| 7:13
| Texas executed Carlton Turner for the murder of his parents last night. His last meal consistend5 pieces of ried chicken, 2 cheese and onion omelets and a piece of chocolate cake. |
| 7:14
| Virginia carried out the execution of Kent Jackson last night as well. He requested a last meal of fried chicken, stir fry, rice, tossed salad, cookies, an orange drink and strawberry ice cream. But then he didn't want to eat any of it. If it were Steve he wouldn't be hungry. It takes a certain kind of sociopath to be hungry the night of his exectuion. |
| 7:15
| A woman who said she was manhandled by security at Reagan Airport is seeking $10 million in damages. The incident happened in December of 2007 when she was chosen for an additional search. Airport officials said she didn't comply fully and the whole thing was caught on camera and ended up on YouTube. |
| 7:16
| The Royal Canadian Mounted police are still baffled by the appearance of 5 seaprate severed feet that washed up on shore in British Columbia. |
| 7:17
| Debra LaFave is back on the streets. Nice! The Florida school teacher convicted of having sex with a student finished her sentence of house arrest but must now serve 7 months probation. Steve started reading a book about her but lost interest. Her ex-husband wrote the book. Everything Steve read made him like her more. |
| 7:18
| Jose Canseco is now saying that Madonna asked him to father her child. That guy has to get in on everything doesn't he? Madonna said she wanted a Cuban child and he was the guy who could do that. |
| 7:19
| A dark storming morning continues for many in the Chicago area as 25,000 people are without power. |
| 7:20
| Dateline Santiago, Chile. A stripper dancing on Santiago's subway system had her routine cut short. It was part of a protest and she would strip down to her underwear and not accept tips. She made sure she was in a car with no children. That would get Steve taking public transportation. Is the name of her strip club Chlean Sea Ass? |
| 7:25
| Steve's looking at that video of the thing at Reagan Airport, there's no audio as far as he can tell. The woman didn't do what the TSA people asked her to do though. They wanted her to stand against the wall and she didn't. You have to do what they say. |
| 7:26
| It seemed brutal to Buzz, did they have to throw her? If they don't throw her then pretty soon no one is doing what they say. They did also pick up her and throw her onto a table as well. |
| 7:27
| Steve likes all that stuff so he probably wouldn't be a good juror for her. There are certain zones where you just have to comply and the airport is one of them. |
| 7:28
| Steve saw something that he thought was kind of interesting. Wait, Mark is saying there is audio of that Reagan video. Steve doesn't really need the audio, there's beauty in the silence. Mark can call in if he wants though. |
| 7:29
| Someone sent Steve an email about those candy cigarettes he was talking about yesterday. Steve said there was a candy cigarette that was peppermint flavored with a red tip and if you blew on it a puff came out. |
| 7:30
| Buzz doubted Steve but it turns out they're both sort of right. The one that emitted a puff of flower or corn starch was made of gum but there was another one made of peppermint. |
| 7:31
| The owner of Obama's Chocolate Nuts is feeling lucky after Jesse Jackson's crude remarks about Barack Obama. By the way, Steve saw on The View that they were using the term Hafrican-American to describe Obama, which Steve coined weeks ago. We can look in the showlog to prove that. |
| 7:32
| 30-year-old David Feingold never thought that someone would use "Obama" and "nuts" in an actual news story. His site was the top spot on Google Thursday when web users typed in "Obama" and "nuts". Traffic on the site has tripled. |
| 7:33
| He started selling packages of nuts, chocolate balls and t-shirts with Obama's name a month and a half ago. He was sparked by revulsion over sycophantic supporters of the Illinois senator. Steve sees Obama's people clamping down on this soon. |
| 7:34
| Mark Czerniec is starting to bug Steve now. He's saying that Rush Limbaugh has been saying "Hafrican" for quite sometime. Steve doesn't listen to Limbaugh so who cares? |
| 7:35
| Mary knew too but she was afraid to tell Steve. He doesn't have to know everything. Mark didn't want that to ruin Steve's weekend but it has ruined it. He thinks like Rush Limbaugh?! If that's the case then why isn't he being paid like Limbaugh? |
| 7:36
| Feingold has nothing against Obama but he doesn't think it's ever a good thing when somebody follows someone else blindly. No one knows anything about Obama. Really though, who knows anything about anyone? |
| 7:43
| Alright it's time for the David Hochberg Players. Steve's going over the script right now, he's going to use some sound effects here. |
| 7:44
| David met a big fan of the show at a shiva yesterday. That's sort of like a wake only there's no body. David introduced himself and the guy thought he was meeting Elvis. |
| 7:45
| David's friend was in from California as well and his wife didn't know he was on the radio. David told her he advertised with the top guy. |
| 7:46
| He's saying that now but at the time he was probably telling her about his own show on WIND. Now pass the kugel! |
| 7:47
| When you're Jewish and you die people eat, that's what they do. It's probably comforting though. That's what Steve likes about Judaism. He also likes the speed at which the entire process occurs. Doesn't everything happen within 2 days of someone's death? |
| 7:48
| There's a funeral service and a graveside service, that's all standard. Then there's the shiva where everyone eats. It doesn't seem so bad but the whole death thing freaks David out. You're there to console the family. |
| 7:49
| David had a couple of bottles of water, a cookie and a lox sandwich, just a little nosh. He probably got more and more famous throughout the room as it went on. He downed that lox sandwich in one bite! |
| 7:50
| David went one plate at the shiva but when they went to the Sox game he two-plated on the first go at the buffet. He had one chicken plate and one beef plate and he manuevered through the place with two plates in his hands. |
| 7:51
| David had a great time. Was that before hiatus or during? It was before in that game when they scored about 20 runs. It was the game where Steve gave the lad in front of them a lesson about balks. A lot of people don't know what balks are. |
| 7:52
| Then in the next inning Chris Rongey almost took their heads off throwing Score t-shirts at them. That's a nightmare, Steve just has shirts thrown at him the whole time. It's Farmer, he's behind the whole thing. Then he doesn't get why Steve doesn't catch any shirts. |
| 7:53
| It looks like the shirt is coming at Steve but it ends up being 20 feet above his head. He can't jump that high! It's not even his size anyway. |
| 7:54
| Alright let's do this live read, places everyone! This week Steve is playing Dick and Buzz is playing Dick's trophy wife Tina. They make a lot of money but they don't have an emergency fund. |
| 7:55
| Tina does not sound like a trophy wife. She actually sounds like she's 95-years old. She sounds like the one who got ditched for the trophy wife. |

| Alright it's time for the Eight O'Clock Taco Bell. |
| 8:10
| That must have been from this morning where David Carradine was dropping the f-bomb on WGN Morning News. Is that what you want your family hearing in the mroning? |

| 8:12
| Earlier in the week Steve was working on an Amy Jacobson song because of the lawsuit. The hubbub seems to have died down though. |
| 8:13
| Buzz thinks it'll pick up again once it goes to court. How does suing CBS help Amy Jacobson get another job? If she wins it would get her some money at least. |
| 8:14
| Steve was working in the lyrics for the song. As it turns out this Pure Prairie League song is difficult to work with. It's not congruent throughout. |
| 8:15
| Steve worked through it though and he'd like to perform it live, he hasn't recorded it yet. He's not going to use reverb on this though, it seems self-agrandizing. |
| 8:16
| Steve might need to print the lyrics out first because it's two pages. This is already becoming a borderline nightmare. |
| 8:17
| Steve performs Amy. |
| 8:21
| That's not too bad right? That second line, the guy who wrote the song started to do one thing but then did something else. It's like a double line. It would ahve driven Steve nuts if he wrote that but it was a big hit. |
| 8:22
| Steve's going to record that, it'll be good to have in case something else comes up with Amy Jacobson. Steve got everything in there that he wanted to get in there. |
| 8:23
| A naked Barbie doll display got a New Jersey man arrested. Police arrested a man who's display of a topless Barbie doll and porno magazines caused a stir at a New Jersey rest stop. |
| 8:24
| Investigators also said the man had a pair of women's underwear on a platter on the dashboard. This article is poorly written. Was everything on the dashboard? |
| 8:25
| The items were strategically placed around the pornography according to one witness. It was very explicit pornography too. What is this person looking in the guy's car for? |
| 8:26
| It's not for this woman to say if it's pornography either, it could be movable art. Is it really a display? It's just in someone's car. |
| 8:27
| Steve's guessing the platter with the thong is in the front seat, that thing rides shotgun. |
| 8:28
| Police charged Robert Martin with maintaining a public nuisance, although he is maintaining it well. Kudos on the thong on a platter! |
| 8:29
| Martin has been parking his car at the rest stop for quite some time because he catches a ride from there to his job in Atlantic City. Maybe he's trying to get the attention of this witness who works at the rest stop. |
| 8:30
| Martin said the items were in his car because he's moving to a new apartment. The porn is now in the custody of the police. |
| 8:31
| He was also charged with possession of a weapon after police found a shank in his car. Martin claimed he used the shank to pop cassette tapes out of his car stereo. |
| 8:37
| When we did the David Hochberg Players Steve neglected to give out the Townstone info. That's because he didn't flip to page 4 because it had gone on long enough. David has to edit these scripts down a bit. |
| 8:38
| A California woman attempting to kill a mouse in her travel trailer was injured along with another person. |
| 8:39
| The woman pulled out a .44 magnum to shoot the mouse when she dropped it. It went off through her knee, then hit the keys hanging off the pants of a man in the trailer. It tore his pants and then lodged in his groin. |
| 8:40
| Now when Buzz shot that rat with the gun in the bathroom what caliber was it? Buzz doesn't remember a rat, he thought it was a mouse. He didn't use a .44 and he only took half the mouse's head off. It was the wrong half too because it didn't die so he had to sink another bullet in. |
| 8:41
| At the time Buzz didn't realize what would happen when he fired a gun in a bathroom. Then he had to do it again because the mouse wasn't dead. |
| 8:42
| Buzz was using the bathroom at the time, did he normally pack heat like that? Buzz actually came back with the gun after seeing the mouse in there. He gave the mouse ample time to leave but when he came back it was still there. |
| 8:43
| Buzz returned with the gun and the mouse was still there, laying down with it's head resting on it's paws. Awwwwwwwww. |
| 8:44
| So Buzz put the gun to the moues's head, pulled the trigger and all hell broke loose. The mouse started hopping around like a Mexican jumping bean, freaking out. Buzz suspected the moused had lost all reason. |
| 8:45
| Buzz's ears are ringing unbelievably because he's just shot off a gun in a bathroom. But he has to shoot again and this time at a moving target. Fortunately he nailed the mouse with the second shot. |
| 8:46
| It was nice of Buzz to put the mouse out of it's misery. Steve would have just let it hop aorund and videotaped it. |
| 8:47
| For a few weeks after the incident Buzz was having nightmares that other mice were teaming up to attack Buzz. That must have been the drugs talking. |
| 8:48
| Stephanie and Vicki are back with the new iPhones. That's good because it was the top story in the upcoming news. Stephanie and Vicki went over to the AT & T store around 5 am and they were 8th and 9th in line. |
| 8:49
| The store opened at 8 am which is when Mary told Steve to call Stephanie. He didn't want to mess up anything with his phone though. She already had to go over there twice this week to sign up for the phone. |
| 8:50
| The purchase did not go smoothly though. They weren't sent to Cedric because they were only sending people in 5 at a time. They went to Lindsey who was very nice but today they weren't letting people buy phones if they weren't the account holder. |
| 8:51
| That's not what Stephanie was told several times this week though and she kept asking to make sure you didn't have to be the account holder. So she called the manager over and they worked everything out. |
| 8:52
| Did Vicki just pretend she was Janet? People are going to talk about that. Steve has a 19-year-old wife! Buzz started that whole trend and Steve always has to top everyone. |
| 8:53
| Mary is telling Steve to get Stephanie to tell the whole story. What else isn't she saying? There was a guy there who was videotaping the line but he seemed to be focusing on Stephanie and Vicki. |
| 8:54
| Steve also has to call over to the AT & T store once he gets his phone set up because he has to sync it. They had to add a new plan for Janet's phone to Steve's Family and Friends plan. Could they make this any more difficult? |
| 8:55
| Hearing all of this rigamarole probably bring Buzz any close to wanting an iPhone. He doesn't really need one but Steve doesn't either. |
| 8:56
| Ben Gay is here with sports. He's going over to Smith & Wollensky to watch that radio roundtable. He's going to see Eddie and Jobo, they're so good looking. |
| 8:57
| One of them looks like a younger Danny Bonnaduce before he went through his latest bout of whatever and the other looks like an older Bonnaduce. |
| 8:58
| Ben of course does his Sports Cavalcade on The Score on Saturdays from 3 am to 4 am. It was the result of a threatened lawsuit from Ben. |
| 8:59
| Mike North used to make fun of Ben's hot pants and his sexual orientation among other things. Ben would run out of the building crying. So he threatened to sue and this is hush money. |
| 9:00
| Ben is hoping to syndicate his show but the world might not be ready for a gay sports show. What's gayer than sports, men patting each other on the ass all the time! |
| 9:01
| The White Sox lead the American League Central by 2 1/2 games. Tonight the Sox open a 3 game series against the Rangers. |
| 9:02
| The Cubs couldn't manage a sweep of the Reds, who took game 3 12-7. The Reds hit 7 home runs but Lou couldn't remember the number. Lou doesn't need to know and Ben finds that refreshing. |
| 9:03
| Lou just needs to know what the score is, it's not like he's in the dugout keeping score. Although you have to keep score at Wrigley because they don't have an electronic scoreboard. |
| 9:04
| Our own Pete keeps score but it's just a way to not have to talk to whoever he's at the game with. He's even done that with girls he takes to the game. |
| 9:05
| Ben's willing to come to New York with Pete and try to turn his girlfriend's roommate. He has ways to do that. Pete might want to get a hotel room though because he won't like what he hears. It won't be from Ben either, the only thing you'll hear from him is the zipping of the hood. |
| 9:06
| The Bulls shut down rookie Derrick Rose for the rest of the Rookie League because of tendinitis in his knee. The Bulls say it's nothing serious but he will have an MRI. |
| 9:07
| The San Antonio Sliver Stars of the WNBA extended their winning streak to 6 with a victory over the 5-12 Chicago Sky. That's not a good record. |
| 9:08
| Alyssa Milano was a guest in the booth with Phillies announcers Gary Matthews Sr. and Tom McCarthy to promote her clothing line. The Sarge excitedly engaged Alyssa in some tattoo talk. |
| 9:09
| Tom McCarthy really blocked that whole thing from Sarge. It sounded like he was getting things going. Buzz was on vacation recently and he couldn't believe how much ink everyone had. |

| News with Buzz |

| The next generation of iPhones is now on sale on the East Coast and in Chicago. Tech-savvy gadget seekers, not unlike Steve, camped out overnight (or had their people camp out) to pick up the new phone. |
| 9:18
| It's a 50 step process just to get one of these things. It's like they're giving you plutonium. |
| 9:19
| GM's CEO is denying rumors that the company is getting ready to file for bankruptcy. Whoa. |
| 9:20
| Former Texas Senator Phil Gramm has called the country a nation of whiners and the recession only mental. That was debated by Barack Obama yesterday. Meanwhile John McCain is trying to distance himself from his former finance advisor. |
| 9:21
| County commissioners in Dallas were discussing the traffic ticketing office that has been losing a considerable amount of money lately. A commissioner, who is white, called the office a black hole. Immedately two black commissioners demanded an apology for the racially insensitive remark. |
| 9:22
| But it's not insensitive, black hole is a scientific term. A black hole is something space where stuff goes in and never comes out. The two black comissioners thought the office should be called a white hole. There's no such thing as a white hole though! |
| 9:23
| A Nebraska Cornhusker fan could face charges for admittedly posting a fake story about two Oklahoma QBs. It's a story that almost found it's way onto the air earlier this morning. James Conrad copied a template off the Oklahomans' website and wrote a story about Sam Bradford and Landry Jones being arrested for selling cocaine. It was completely false of course. |
| 9:24
| Conrad said it was a practical joke but Jones' father is vowing to sue the man for libel. He'll win that too. It almost made it on the air because Buzz was going to report it? Haven't the Cornhuskers suffered enough lately? He's always trying to bring them down. Buzz eventually came around to that line of thought. The story was so appealing though. |
| 9:25
| It had some great deal because it talked about the former Arkansas QB cutting up cocaine on his dashboard with a credit card. Steve saw that story on ESPN yesterday but he thought it was about a guy in the NFL. Buzz says that's the same story. Steve just thought it was great that it was so old school, you don't see many people cutting up coke with a credit card any more. |
| 9:26
| The UN's international criminal court will seek an arrest warrant for the president of Sudan. According to the Washington Post he'll also be charged with genocide and crimes against humanity. |
| 9:27
| Caller John wanted to let Steve know that Matt Jones was the football player busted for allegedly doing cocaine on the dashboard of his car. Buzz had a different story and Steve thought it was Matt Jones. |
| 9:28
| The other story is about two Nebraska quarterbacks so the stories got crossed. Steve got confused too though. WHat are the odds of three football players doing cocaine on the same day? Steve thinks they're great. What are the odds of only three doing it? |
| 9:29
| While we're clearing stuff up there is such a thing as a white hole in astrophysics. It's the opposite of a black hole. And we don't know where black holes go right? If we did we'd know too much. Do we know? Steve doesn't know but does Stephen Hawking know? |

| Firefighters called to a blaze in Germany were astonished to discover a fully equipped drunk imposter among their ranks. Upon hearing the alarm go off at the firehouse the drunk man ran over to the fire house and was outfitted with help from other firemen. |

| Residents of a mostly black neighborhood in rural Ohio were awarded nearly $11 million after it was discovered that local authorities denied them water service for decades because of racial discrimination. |

| After the show today Steve's going over to Smith & Wollensky to do that show for The Score. It's going to be on the air from 11 am to 1 pm. Try to have two radios on, one tuned here and one to The Score. Or just stream The Score audio. |
| 9:42
| Steve doesn't want to take away from what's going on here. He usually does stuff like this to snag listeners and that's his intent today. He has to do it this way since the station doesn't market the show. |
| 9:43
| Someone from channel 2 sent Steve an email wanting him to be on a Hot Topics segment with Rob Johnson. Does Steve want to do that? Antonio Mora used to host that, it runs on Saturday nights. It's the kind of thing you tuned into and couldn't believe what you were seeing. |
| 9:44
| Steve would only be one of the guests for this show, it's like public affairs. But it airs against SNL and Mad TV. It doesn't sound like something Steve would to do. Buzz can't even figure out why they want Steve to do it. |
| 9:45
| It's not even a whole show dedicated to Steve's 30 years on the air here. Maybe if it was that he'd do it. Steve doesn't like channel 2 anyway. It would be another way to snag listeners but Steve can't imagine anyone watches it except Rob Johnson. |
| 9:46
| It is a show that Pete watches, he likes all of those kinds of shows. It's not even on Saturdays, it's on Sunday mornings. Who watches TV on Sunday morning? It's like a poor man's Meet the Press or a lackluster Chicago TV magazine. |
| 9:47
| Ifi you tune in to CBS on Sunday morning and see Steve and this show you're going to wonder what the hell happened to him. |
| 9:48
| Eddie and Jobo have done the show, Steve will have to ask them about it. Steve doesn't think he wants to do it. It's just a show that CBS made Antonio Mora do because he wanted more money. Then it ended up being the last thing he was doing in Chicago. On his last show he couldn't stop congratulating himself for what a fine job he did. |
| 9:49
| That's probably why Rob Johnson has to host it, he wanted more money. Not that Hot Topics makes the station any money but sometimes they like to push you around. |
| 9:50
| Steve knows he shouldn't reject any chance to promote himself but he doesn't think it would be a good look if someone tuned in to that. They'd wonder what happened to Steve. |
| 9:51
| If they're talking about Jesse Jackson they probably won't even use any of Steve's A material for the show. Sorry Pete but Steve won't be doing it. |
| 9:52
| At least something like Chicago Tonight is on at night and it's live right? Maybe it's not live but still. Mike North is gong to be on that show tonight actually. |
| 9:53
| Pete really watches some lame shows. It is off-sesaon but during the season he's watching Grey's Anatomy. Is Mike North something Steve even wants to see? When you get a new job then tell people about it. Don't tell people about all of the plans you have. |
| 9:54
| Mike is like the Northside Kevin Matthews, his website reads just like Kev's. There's a lot of talk about what Mike is going to do but he can't say anything specific. |
| 9:55
| Mike's actually doing a webcast today, possibly to compete with Steve's thing on The Score today. That definitely had a Kevin Matthews feel to it. Whenever you're in radio it's better to be on the air than to not be on the air. |
| 9:56
| If Steve were Mike he would have just taken the money they were offering him and rode it out until things pick up again. In the meantime you augment that money with other stuff. |
| 9:57
| Steve likes Mike though. When Steve was at WMVP Mike was the one who told him that they were thinking of firing him. They had approached Mike about replacing Steve and he thought he should tell him that. |
| 9:58
| Then Steve quit and it was the best thing he ever did. That's when he learned the lesson about how you always want to be on the air if you're in radio. |
| 9:59
| Steve just hates to see someone like Mike, who's built up an audience, not on the air. Because everything you built up is gone, at least for now. Maybe this will turn out to be the best thing Mike ever did though. |
| 10:00
| Steve had to quit WMVP and then he went to Florida for 4 months. He did know he had the job at WCKG and knew they were bringing Howard Stern on. He did take a pay cut though. |
