Yeah, it seems crazy to me, too. Today, August 26, 2026, marks the two-year anniversary for us here at DLLS.
I don’t know about you, but that feels freaking crazy to me. I feel like it was maybe a year ago that we were building up those teaser Tweets and interviewing Stars president Brad Alberts. But, in another way, it feels really long because we have done some pretty cool Sugar Honey Iced Tea in those two years.
Including…

I know I am missing plenty, and I didn’t even mention the amazing local peeps who stopped by, like Robert Tiffin of Stars Thoughts, Lia Assimakopoulos of the Dallas Morning News, Stephen Merserve of 100 Degree Hockey, and more!
Some awesome times with y’all
- Taking over the 300’s at the AAC for Stars vs Penguins. Making Luds squeeze into one of those tiny seats and get swarmed by fans.
- Watch Party night, with good eats, a fun show, plenty of hang out time, cheesecakes, and a win. I think?
- Hot Sam… for all it encompassed and became
- Some knitting… You know who you are
- Meetups at the AAC… with plenty of selfies, buttons, and bracelets. Y’all are the coolest, by the way.
- Hockey Hair night with PNC
- Practice chats
- COSM and the Stanley Cone
A crazy amount of funny moments:
- The Dumpster fire at Hooters
- Luds screaming at John non-stop
- Breaking down Owen’s scooter skills
- Sam calling in from the wrong city during a Stars playoff game
- Sean’s speech by the cannon
- Luds live from the Stars Alumni Game
- VPN’s
- Sam trades everyone for Michael McCarron
- Luds Damn Discord
- Sam and Luds off the rails Montreal show when Owen was out — Come to think of it, all of the shows where Sam and Luds are in charge.
- The boys wrapping Sam in bubble wrap and a helmet for safety.
- Halloween 1 & 2
- Luds hosting the show literally today
I hope you know how incredibly grateful we are.
For me, personally, this is a dream come true that really wouldn’t be possible without all of you. For all of us at DLLS, we get to do what we love with a ton of cool people, talk every day about a silly sport that we all know is not so silly, and hang out with our community.
That is all thanks to you. SO, thank you.
Here’s to year 3!
Go Stars.
