There are lots of mixed signals on the DahlCast today, starting with a bunch of kids from upper-middle class households who decided to spread their anarchy to Bridgeport yesterday. Doesn’t having a guy with post a video blog and talk about social media defeat the purpose of an uprising? Do anarchists have Twitter accounts?
Janet and Steve get their wires crossed today ov [...]

It’s Game Night (well, Game Day, really) at the DahlCast. We start with a little game of basketball and find out the real meaning of a Tar Heel. We’re still unsure what a Game Cock is, though. Steve also dissects the games that Axl Rose is playing with the minds of the fine people of Cleveland.
Steve has invented a new game “Steve Dahl – Lightning Wrangler”. [...]

Poetic Justice is in the air on this Hump Day DahlCast. Steve almost got himself in some legal hotwater last night leaving WLS, but seems to have avoided the fuzz. He did get to show his new “fuzz” or “muff” to Drew Hayes, who gave us an hysterical mobile interview, while Steve was filling in for Roeper. Joel Brodsky joins us to talk the REAL Drew Peterson details.

It’s DahlCast number 666 and we’ve prepared a deliciously evil show for you today! Satan has made a special trip upstairs (we are in the basement and not that far, after all) to help us celebrate the special occasion. Although, let’s be honest, everyday is a special occasion when you’re Satan, right?
Satan was able to stop by in person to talk to us, but don’ [...]

Pardon the pun, but today’s show is “HIGH-larious”. It is 4/20, after all, and Steve tries to avoid the annual rundown of why 4/20 is important to people who love herbal refreshment, but had to share a story about the Oregon Football Team.

A certain Colombian escort might have been the one to tell the New York Times “This is something really big”, but this totally applies to our Thursday DahlCast, as well. Jim Fabbrini joined us to discuss the huge Flower Bomb we sent yesterday to Phoenix Coyote player, Raffi Torres. We hope he received Steve’s message loud and clear. To continue with the theme of Hocke [...]

Today’s DahlCast is rated R for violence, strong language, graphic music and bestiality, but it’s all in the name of pure, uncensored comedy. We kicked off the show by talking about the “Hit Heard Round the World” on Hossa in last night’s Hawks game. Matt Dahl and Steve were already calling for Torres’ suspension before the big announcement of his indefinite suspe [...]

It’s Tax Day and we are discussing how your hard-earned money was spent by some of the fine, upstanding men of the secret service. Are they complete amateurs? Did they really get caught “pleying” because of one guy and $47? Even Hillary Clinton seems to have better party and guy code skills than these idiots.
Between the GSA, the Secret Service and heads of state like [...]

Is that the smell of meat from a Weber kettle or the smell of Weber meeting Zetterberg in last night’s game? We’re not sure, but Steve thinks Jenny McCarthy got her fair share of meat with Brian Urlacher at Mastro’s L.A. the other night. They might be the hot new celebrity couple, but Jenny is really past her prime. After all, Steve was her very first interview when she f [...]

Happy Easter and Shabbot Shalom from the DahlCast! Todays show starts with a spirited discussion of the “high holidays” with David Hochberg. Steve reads the origin of the Easter Bunny and it’s really kind of a stretch involving eggs and some old German story.

Steve previews some of the songs he's rerecorded for his new album. Red pants are making a comeback but Cutler was way ahead on that trend.
