You know, I asked myself, “What goes on with Ian and Beej and all the other fellows between Animethons and improvs?” Thanks for answering my question, boys. I’ve caught up with the episodes with my daily dose of Dai-cast. It keeps me regular… with laughter!
You guys rock. I love your Dai Casts, keep them coming!
Any chance I might be able to guest star on a future episode?

Roxstar - Great to hear from you! Glad that we’ve managed to clear up your curiosity on the inner lives of Ian and Beej, but you fail to take into account that we do exist between Dai-Casts as well. Noodle that one for awhile!
Ryan - Many thanks for your expression of undying love for our work. As this is a universe of infinite possibilities, you being on Dai-Cast is always one of them. Send us an email at dai-cast@tiltyhouse.com, and we’ll talk!
Great show, as always. I was really appalled hearing about the second-hand electronics story, and I passed it on to some of my professors. And was quite amused by both the Neko Nyanbou and Beat Takeshi’s game. XD I wait for episode 10 with great antici…………….pation!
Tilty House and Dai Cast are the Fo-Shizzle
Eryn, if you are as appalled as you say about this affront to Japanese citizens, and want to join the copy-fighters in your own nation, I would suggest heading over to look at the blogs of Michael Geist, the Canadian equivalent to Lawrence Lessig (co-creator of the Creative Commons) and of course, the EFF.
And Ryan, thank you so much for our first “~izzle” ever. You have no idea how much that means to us. ^_^
I would also like to thank everyone for their kinds words. We will work really hard to bring this to you every week and we are really glad that you like the show. We will continue to try our best to make you laugh your asses off.
Jason! Did you get my email regarding Nishikaze? Just curious!
Oh and yeah Dai Cast is the Cream in my Coffee.
I’m totally noodling now, Ian…
Thanks for the reply, and thanks for keeping up with the laughs. Never did I stop and think that I would ever add the phrase “comedy midgets ejaculating” to my vocabulary.
One more comment, and I’ll hold off until the next Dai-Cast: you guys sure are gay for Reggie Fils-Aime and the DS!
Roxanne
We are so ghey for Reggie and the DS. I am hoping that someday Reggie will come to my house and let me touch it. After all, he says himself that touching is good.
Hey guys I stumbled upon your podacst and I thought it was great. I live in Australia and I will be leaving for Japan on monday the 13th. Cant wait. I might try and find that Pink Cow place in Shibuya while I am there before i shove off to Kyushu where I’ll be living for a year In Saga.
I love this show. Great work guys.
Hi Rory. Thanks for listening to the show. Have a great time in Japan, and give us a shout if you are in the area. Saga is a bit far from where we are, but you never know.
It’s hard to know these things, because NO ONE TALKS ABOUT BUTT SEX. Ever.
