Wow! Darren and Steven reach the proverbial holy grail for podcasters, 100 episodes! They wax enthusiastically about making it this far and then welcome two drummers who have played with Dave, nearly 30 years apart, Ron Wikso and Francis Valentino.

Ron was in the touring band for the 1994-1995 Your Filthy Little Mouth tour, and Francis was part of Dave's initial dates on KISS' End Of Rhe Road Tour, very nearly played Las Vegas for the cancelled farewell concerts and can be heard on the Van Halen re-records done in 2022. Both have great stories, dispel some rumors and have answers to a few mysteries.

You can find Ron at RonWikso.com and Francis on Instagram @francisvalentino

THANK YOU for enjoying The DLR Cast so far!

Darren and Steve dig into the latest David Lee Roth videos that have been popping up - is this just Dave's "counter-programming?" Plus, why Dave should have been a pop culture/rock icon gues in John Mulaney's Netflix 6-episode live show, Everybody's In L.A. - or could he have been? Plus, are there any left-over tracks from some of Dave's solo albums, Steve digs the :50 worth of an awesome Steely Dan cover in the new Mojo Dojo video, the Alex Van Halen auction, the new expanded edition of Van Halen's "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" coming in July, and maybe Dave just does what he does just...because.
