I Miss the Rain Oct 10, 2025

Show notes

The running theme for today is Narcissism vs. Selflessness as Janet joins the show today. Steve and Janet are getting ready for Vegas, and Janet’s insisting that Steve wear his Apple Watch, so he can be monitored at all times and she can see if he’s wandering towards the gaming tables. We take a brief and condescending look into the seemingly meaningless lyrics of a popular Toto song.

Steve, You Babbling Moron Aug 06, 2025

Show notes

It appears that the younger generation has already discarded “Rizz” just as Steve felt comfortable deploying the term. Flying sure was different back in the day, as was airlines’ stance on stand-up comedians in the aisle. Even if you’re not watching The Bear (Dag!) they are featuring lots of great music, including a bunch of REM (Dag!). A Floridiot takes a novel and slightly deadly approach to reptile smuggling.

EGO Trippin' Jul 02, 2025

Show notes

Steve awoke to find no sign of Janet, but he soon finds out she’s been tending to Matt’s dog, Roger. Apparently, Roger liberated the stuffing from a couch cushion.

Steve stained the bedsheets with maraschino cherries that got loose from his ice cream bowl Talk To Me Tuesday callers cover topics including YouTube ads, Salerno's Pizza, and The 'Pitt'.

WINK-TV Hat Trick Jun 30, 2025

Show notes

What was the recent deal with LA Dodgers fans taking to the streets of Wrigleyville with a banner? Does having a banner make it an official parade? Steve hit the intro jackpot with last night’s edition of the WINK News. He also built a docking station for a Dyson vacuum. He was two hours into the install when Janet deemed it unnecessary. Steve and Jim Peterik had a brief but rocking text exchange.

Stinky Felix (Pasadena CA) Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

Janet declares that her Florida world is far too beige, and puts the blame on Steve’s notoriously suspect couch-buying skills. He’s envisioning a life as well-kept Florida houseboy, but it might not be all it’s cracked up to be, ultimately. There’s also a flood of Pasadena memories for Steve, as we dig deeper into the origin of some famous local graffiti that he saw as a child and never forgot.

The Fake Surfer Mar 12, 2025

Show notes

Janet called Steve a "fake surfer" in front of her sister yesterday, which left Steve embarrassed. She will be on tomorrow's DahlCast, and that should be interesting. Steve sought out estimates for a new pool cleaning service, and got to use some of his newly acquired Spanish language skills. The guys brainstorm a possible rock nickname for Dag, after a subscriber starts it off on the (708) NOW-I-WAV phone line. Callers also "knurl the curve" and wonder about changes to the March Dahlcast opening montage.

The Bell Tolls Mar 05, 2025

Show notes

Steve doesn't know how to feel about ringing the bell after his final radiation treatment.The father and son who golfed before him left the hitting surface strewn with tees and balls. Dag is in Washington, District of Columbia. He didn't get to see many sights, but he did crush a shrimp taco (and an English breakfast roll?). Burger giant Red Robin is considering shuttering some locations. The chain's name comes from the early 1900s song. Dolly Parton's low-key husband passed away. Steve went to the golf simulator at the club.

Steve's Cancer Card Feb 07, 2025

Show notes

Steve returns with details of his Radiation Simulation, along with updated stats on his bladder’s storage capacity. A visit to The Honey Bee for a late morning breakfast was a much needed highlight. Steve and Janet are hosting a Super Bowl viewing party but the menu is still in flux. Brendan and Dag are undecided in their game watching plans. Jim Fabbrini is a proud Dahlcast sponsor. He's offering subscribers three lovely arrangements at generous prices for Valentine's Day. Finally, a hot oil/cool ranch drama went down at a Wingstop. Can you guess where it was?
