Taking a Chance on 2026

2026/01/15

In this final show of 2025 (where did the year go??) We we of course discuss any resolutions we might have, as well as any plans we have for tonight. Tom Thayer joins us, with an appreciation of Steve’s football knowledge. He also shares some of his innovations in dog transportation. There’s a clip collage as well, to remind us of the year in quips. Happy New Year, everyone! Thanks for supporting The DahlCast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I Miss the Rain

2025/10/10

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Janet’s Big Surprise

2025/09/29

The Dahl boys organized a flawless surprise party for Janet, with Steve facilitating her arrival. His dry shave didn't give it away.. Brendan is feeling "Cubs" after they clinched home field advantage in the playoffs. A visit to his old high school delivers an epiphany to Dag. Tom Thayer breaks down the Bears victory, as well as the Las Vegas experience, while putting Brendan on the ropes. Finally, Steve reveals that he has two robots. Learn more about your ad choices.

Steve, You Babbling Moron

2025/08/06

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.

Taco Trials & Tribulations

2025/07/22

Jack In The Box is finally open, but Steve’s taco cravings get foiled by an endless drive-thru line. Portillo’s and Lou Malnati’s team up with a pizza-hot dog hybrid that’s more novelty than classic. Listeners share tips for Steve’s upcoming cataract surgery. Plus, where were you during the O.J. chase? Dag and Meredith were on a romantic date while Steve changed into his swimsuit in the gazebo.

EGO Trippin'

2025/07/02

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. Dag’s not a fan of elaborate gender reveal parties. 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

2025/06/30

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stinky Felix (Pasadena CA)

2025/04/09

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. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Fake Surfer

2025/03/12

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Bell Tolls

2025/03/05

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Steve's Cancer Card

2025/02/07

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?

Prostate Biopsy Results

2025/01/08

Steve got his prostate biopsy results toady. We discuss. He is also planning on attending the Chicago Boat Show in Rosemont this weekend. He is not sizing up votes for a Viking funeral. Dag checks in from Studio 6B ahead of his appearance with Michael Shannon on The Tonight Show Staring Jimmy Fallon. Another Steve; Steve Guttenberg made a live announcement on KTLA amidst the wildfires in Pacific Palisades. He is not recognized at first by the reporter. Learn more about your ad choices.

Taint Yet Christmas

2024/12/23

Big doings at the Dahl house over the weekend, as Steve recovered from his medical procedure (lots of details from both Steve and Janet on that today), and Matt (mostly) moved out. Mike Dahl drops by to outline how a whiskey trade works, and to try and sell Tom Thayer on a Netflix program about Aaron Rogers. Steve’s got a good question for Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown, and Tom is planning to get the question over to him. Tom is also anticipating an earful from his local grocery employees about the state of the Bears. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"It's All Inside My Head" - Joe Walsh

2024/11/27

We’ve got the honest to goodness "Bomber" on the line today. That’s right, Joe Walsh phones us for his and Steve’s yearly birthday check-in. We hear some great stories about Famous guitars and guitarists, The Sphere, songwriting, recording and so much more. Once at the Sphere, Joe became transfixed by a giant display of his own nose. Deacon Frey had to remind him he was supposed to start singing. It seems like Steve and Joe agree on just about everything, all the time. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Praise of Older Women

2024/10/03

Steve recalls that while he was a California kid, he watched Kris Kristofferson practicing his songs by a pool. Not long after that, a young Rick Dahl distracted Linda Ronstadt with a frozen dessert mishap at a The Troubadour in LA. Janet joins us today to answer subscriber email and make a book recommendation. Steve has married two older women. Janet also recalls being banned from her family piano as a child, and how her first day of teaching unfortunately coincided with a teachers’ strike. A DJ dance party in the family room was epic while it lasted. Pepper makes Steve sneezy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
