Summary

Comedian and host of Normal World, Dave Landau, sits down with Bridget for a fun conversation about how they should start their own morning show, Dave’s childhood in Detroit, their respective struggles with addiction, Agent Orange, AIDS, parents with mental illness, dealing with Satanists in rehab, their experiences in mental hospitals, how Dave’s teacher suggested he get into stand up, the ups and downs of his career, and stumbling into the culture wars. They cover texting each other when Trump was shot, living in a country where the middle class has been eviscerated, how we’re becoming a country that we’re not supposed to be, the rise of billionaires, how people want to be inspired, what he loves about America, finding happiness, and Dave shares his advice for people struggling with depression.
