This episode is reaching Joe Rogan tiers of insightful interviewing. Well done Dave and Team.

[@evanluna116]

Dave's the perfect interviewer for this episode

[@greatestytcommentator]

Respect to Normal World for refusing Gambling Sponsors!

[@evanluna116]

Absolutely

[@RodKruse1966]

I met DB when I worked as a doorman in Hollywood early 90s He's always been an outstanding human.

[@devinangola3458]

Well that had me hanging on every word, I grew up in that era and was a street kid. So happy he’s still around, many didn’t make it.😔

[@toddtravis2596]

Yep. God bless. 👍🏽 🙏🏽🧡🇺🇸

[@13infbatt]

I saw the house of pain play at a gig in Tippeary Ireland in 1994 as well as cypress hill, I discovered hash that weekend , one of the best gigs ever .

[@Jdoom13]

I love it. That's awesome.

[@debbie7747]

I've never looked at my boys and said, 'you're gonna be just like him'. Good on Danny to not listen to such bullshit from people that say they care. Great interview, Dave! 'JUMP'!

[@msbecks7004]

He was going that way, maybe they were trying to stop him from following in his footsteps.

[@reeferfranklin]

@@msbecks7004 that's probably closer to the truth...I try to warn my daughter constantly about making the kinds of decisions that will turn her into her mother, a homeless junkie convict that has been disowned by her family.

[@madreshekel1003]

As someone who is terrified of writing and hearing that opening plug, I have never been a greater fan of Dave Landau, who is secretly introducing people to their greatest selves. Hes so well spoken, well balanced and open to everything and anything that makes me quiver in my boots as to how incredible he is. I feel the more I watch the more I find my place in the world, and the fact that people like you are not as alone as I felt. Dark, honest, funny. Amazing.

[@austinkasunic1291]

Dave's had a pretty rough life, I think that has given him quite a bit of humility and genuine compassion and interest in other people. He was always great at interviewing people and as Normal World continues I think Dave keeps getting stronger and stronger as a host, we love ya Dave

[@Yosefhouser]

He’s exactly the best of what I like about Gen Xers that made it out the other end intact.

[@theSemiChrist]

Dave was the best part of Louder with Crowder. I can't hardly watch it now. Jim Breuer is cool to see, though.

Huge House Of Pain fan!! This was unexpected, but greatly appreciated.

[@jonathantomberlin5711]

It makes me mad every time I see the amount of views that the show gets. It should be way more!

[@evanluna116]

I would put in Dave Landau youtube searches and get completely different results. He should be a household name already

[@DIVIDEDWEFALL88]

lets all share it out!

[@raqbraz2549]

I love The Outsiders! Remember vividly when I read the book and saw the movie as a teen in the early 90s in Brazil. There is a "Stay Gold" print at the wall in my kid 's room, 🙏🏻

[@reeferfranklin]

This was easily the greatest episode of Normal World yet.

[@SuperFGeeT]

This is your first exposure then :(

[@WeekendWeakling]

It took me like 4 tries to get through this one.

[@GreggsOverEZ]

I loved "The Outsiders" in middle school. It really resonated with me because my parents had just divorced, causing many major changes in a short time.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

It's soo great! My best friend, to this day is still called golden boy

[@nicholasbrosseau3405]

I had 0 expectations with this episode (not that into hip-hop) but wow, I'm so glad that this happened.

[@STEVE_0906]

Thank You Danny Boy for sharing your story, it shows people that they are not alone. One of the best episodes on this channel. Keep it up y’all

[@DancingSk3L3tons]

Was NOT expecting this cross over 😮😂 Danny boys the fkn man! We lived off those albums when we were kids.

[@joannalight8059]

This is by far one of the best episodes of Normal World. It has so many excellent messages that everyone should hear.

[@reeferfranklin]

I completely agree, though 8 people from the peanut gallery apparently don't.

[@robotrip9292]

I like all of the straight up comedy episodes of Normal World but this one was great in its own way for being insightful and inspirational.

[@Me_AV]

Holy crap....Music Plus....I used to ride my bike to that place and get all my cassettes and VHS' there!! It was the one in Rosemead, CA. wow....crazy. I havent heard anyone else mention that store in decades. It eventually became Wherehouse...then those went out of business too. Wow.

[@williamwilson9373]

This was an excellent pod,your best I think. Well done lads.

@@pnmwngy1 I listened to fine malt lyrics here on KZbin and yeah your absolutely right. House of pain has some cult classic lyrics & songs like "When I die bury me hang my balls from the cherry tree and when they look ripe them take a if there sour don't blame me" back from the dead is awesome every time I hear it .

Loved this episode truly made time fly by, here’s to hoping at some point you and 1/4 can branch out without a network controlling time frames! I could have easily listened to this for 4+ hours really this is the best episode of normal world.

[@dhippstarr]

Being violently Irish house of pain has been a constant sound track for my life since it came out.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

Seriously thank you guys, I needed a good time tonight you never fail to lift someone up, it's true laughter is the best medicine!

[@hollanrh]

Amazing show, and it was extremely inspirational as well!

[@Twiztidmind]

Life's a trip. When I was listening to house of pain in the 90s doing all my dirt being a miracle that I survived past the age of 21 to now still listening to HoP but sober at age 40 picking up the kids from school.

[@MushmouthJoe]

That's crazy! I haven't seen this guy in forever! ☕️👍🏻

[@stevenregina6429]

I really enjoyed this episode. I love how every episode can have such a distinct feel. I love when Dave, Matt and Derek tear it up one night, and have these candid discussions of sobriety and hope on another night. I really appreciate what you guys are doing.

Awesome show.

[@voltz3346]

Fantastic. Love House of Pain.

[@tommyibanez3958]

Mickey's, Suicidal, and Celtic Frost in the same interview?!?! It's like reliving my childhood. They still make Mickey's, although they took away the Big Mouth which allowed you to down them in one shot, kinda defeats the purpose.

[@andrewpinkstaff9397]

This was a great show and interview. It is always heartening to hear stories of people like Dave and Danny Boy who have lost more than most people can fully understand but they didn’t let that define them. Making that choice to move forward even though you can’t see why you should is inspiring. Thank you for being an inspiration to those who may need it.

[@jennywight9119]

I didn't realize I lived the same life as Danny Boy O'Connor! I worshipped The Outsiders, loved Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the Fonz, all of it!

[@2-sense]

I love that movie since I was 7? Top 5 that I watch over and over. Dallas Winston , still have a crush on him, Cherry , sodapop-but the theme song from Stevie wonder is everything, Eddie and the cruisers - I still want to be Johanne- Diana Ross upside down was the first record I played- omg- I loved all of this stuff and I have no idea WTF happened?
