Episode 107: "At Least We'll Always Have That" > The Year-End Review and Deep Fake JiuJitsu
"Heard you missed us, we're back!" Darren and Steve chat about the year that was and wasn't in the land of all-things David Lee Roth: his silence around Alex Van Halen's book, Brothers, the recent spate of videos through the fall, "Don't Love Me, Rent Me," which cowboy boots are made for biking with the L.A. River Yacht Club. Plus, what may or likely won't be happening in 2025, Steve finds his "Goin' Crazy" 45, and The Mojo Dojo releases a Dave TV Christmas Ornament.
Thank you all for a terrific 2024!

Episode 105: The DLR Cast Live - For the First Time!
History is made as the DLR Cast records and broadcasts an episode LIVE, for the first time! Darren and Steve get into the big news from the big interviews Alex Van Halen has done in support of his forthcoming (tomorrow!) new book, Brothers, in Rolling Stone and The New York Times. News about the Eddie Van Halen tribute that never was - Dave and Alex were rehearsing (?!?) and how it blew up; Alex's passion for the original Van Halen, a myriad of sidebars, and the former VH singer whose name won't be spoken. Plus, some new DLR vids and the "Van Halen Lead Singer Roll Call" - of everyone (we think) who sang with VH, was asked to sing with VH, said they were asked to sing with VH, wanted to sing with VH, and can't remember if they sang with VH! Plus, some awesome listener comments from our awesome listeners!

Episode 104: "We Speak Coconut Fluently"
First up: Steve and Darren have a mea culpa on Ink the Original -- it does exist (sort of?). Then, a dizzying array of Dave Lee Roth's slogans, domain names, quotes and ideas.
Alex Van Halen's book is a month away -- will there be DLR dirt or not
Plus, Joe Satriani, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Steve opines on the quality of A Little Ain't Enough and The DLR Band vs. the first two albums and Darren's got a theory (and it's pretty compelling!).
Hey! Be sure to get all of Darren's interviews, happenings and much more on The Paltrocast!

Episode 103: A Deep Dive Into 'Ink The Original' (Dave's Tattoo Skin Care Company)
Darren and Steve return from their summer break and take a really deep dive into an interview Darren had with a person who did marketing for Ink The Original -- David Lee Roth's tattoo skin care company. There's some fascinating and funny information here about the early attempts at creating a marketing and publicity plan for a company that perhaps only really existed on paper. And in Dave's mind?
Plus, is Dave on vacation the rest of the year? Some various and cool You Tube happenings (thank you Ramses and The Mojo Dojo!), Darren's interview with Billy Sheehan, and much more.
