Steve crossed the frozen tundra to get here today and he has stubble for warmth too. He read a disturbing tidbit about his younger self on the way, Dag thinks Brendan's rap name could be Irish Beef, and an unattended bag makes Steve nervous on the train.

It's New Years Eve and it's super cold. Looking into who follows whom on Twitter is telling, which is why we go through Brendan's list. Sports radio is pretty ridiculous around Chicago, a gorgeous coat story, and there's no gluten free bread in prison.

The DahlCast returns from Christmas break! Steve had a 24 hour bug, and some rowdy children on his train this morning. The Bears had a major shake-up today, another Asian airplane is missing, and we find out horse details we really don't need to know.

Leaving 5 minutes early yesterday changed Steve's whole night, from catching a different train to some bad Downers Grove tacos. A local hero recognizes Steve, the Walgreens candy isle is breathtaking, and a man has special feelings for a strapping horse.

There's an interesting subscriber voicemail today and Steve spent 3 hours assembling a doll house over the weekend that was supposed to take 2. A company is selling road kill fur accessories and there are still several coffee cakes in Steve's freezer.

The saga of Dag's lost cell phone continues as Metra thinks his name is Bob. Steve encounters someone wearing Birkenstocks in December, there's the classic Orson Welles Frozen Peas bit, and Steve might have to hire a cleaning crew for the WLS studio.

Dag left his phone on the Metra, Brendan has new bling and did a good deed this morning. Steve's favorite Christmas coffee cakes are at the house, Janet busts Steve's chops over being grumpy but Steve thinks he's made major progress and wants examples.

Steve consulted Bob & Ron for John Sebastian Woodstock clips. Ron unearthed some gems. Was Brendan in a black frat? A new character is taking shape for Dag, there's the slightest touch of politics before Steve shuts it down, and the WLS studio is filthy.

An old suitcase and poopy hands lead to some safety concerns at the Metra for Steve. Jay cutler clearly doesn't care, a lovin' spoonful is a mouthful as it turns out, and Steve looks for a particular Woodstock stage moment that leads to a podcast extra.

Steve feels under the weather and spent the whole journey to work this morning trying not to hurl. Little bites of a donut seemed to help. Brendan is involved in a rap email chain with other adult friends, and Steve may have to order a sacrificial pizza.
