00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game
00:00:04.120 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.
00:00:07.520 Not anymore.
00:00:08.480 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.
00:00:12.820 That's right.
00:00:13.380 If your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute,
00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.
00:00:19.820 Visit FanDuel.com.

00:01:16.720 My guest
00:01:18.040 tonight is
00:01:19.760 a dear friend. We worked together.
00:01:21.720 He was my co-host back on the Compound
00:01:23.660 media days he uh hosts a show on blaze tv normal world and he's got a new book out party of one
00:01:31.520 that is insane it's like this you shouldn't confess this much this could probably get you
00:01:38.240 put away statute of limitations be damned um but it's a very entertaining read and it will make
00:01:45.060 you feel like you weren't all that bad growing up mr dave landau dave how are you my friend
00:01:51.220 I'm doing good, man.
00:01:52.560 How about you?
00:01:53.560 Great.
00:01:54.180 Apparently they found it in their infinite wisdom to give me another radio show.
00:01:59.720 I'm as shocked as you are.
00:02:01.460 I'm trying to figure out what I can't say.
00:02:04.920 Well, it's the old George Carlin bit for the most part, you know.
00:02:09.040 Good.
00:02:09.680 Those seven dirty words.
00:02:11.320 But they've gotten pretty relaxed.
00:02:14.260 I'm one of the more conservative people as far as what I say on the air
00:02:20.920 than a lot of other people because they'll say things and I'll be like,
00:02:24.180 could you say that on the radio?
00:02:25.780 I'm thinking way back when I was on FM radio, but enough about me, Dave.
00:02:31.560 How are you?
00:02:33.280 How have you been?
00:02:34.400 I know you're – where are you living now?
00:02:36.320 Are you down in Texas?
00:02:38.180 I am in Texas, yeah.
00:02:39.940 I still have my place in Detroit, but I live in Dallas.
00:02:43.880 It's very mediocre.
00:02:47.120 Well, first of all, Dave, your place in Detroit, I've just been – yeah, squatters live there now, Dave.
00:02:54.900 Oh, is that right?
00:02:55.780 Yeah, you were out for, I think, two hours as I'm reading it here, and squatters have moved in, and you can never, ever, ever get back in.
00:03:04.220 That is the law.
00:03:05.580 It's their home.
00:03:07.260 It's the Wild West here.
00:03:09.000 It can just be two pit bulls, and they'll let them keep the house.
00:03:12.380 Oh, yeah, pit bulls can.
00:03:13.880 They just look at you.
00:03:14.840 They shut the door.
00:03:15.480 The cops go.
00:03:15.980 There's nothing we could do about it.
00:03:17.540 I'm sorry, sir.
00:03:18.700 You've lost your residence.
00:03:20.840 Wow.
00:03:21.280 So how often do you get back to the Big D?
00:03:24.620 I go back pretty often.
00:03:26.200 I do.
00:03:27.040 It's weird to answer that question like that all the time.
00:03:30.960 I visit the Big D as much as possible.
00:03:38.480 I call it San Francisco.
00:03:40.740 Yes, the Big D.
00:03:43.180 Yeah.
00:03:43.880 Oh, my God.
00:03:46.220 My favorite nightclub.
00:03:48.300 I go back pretty often.
00:03:50.240 I go back, you know.
00:03:51.060 Then I got a – I just saw you got a dog, though.
00:03:54.020 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:54.760 I don't want to talk about this, but I saw it.
00:03:57.560 A Belgian Malinois.
00:03:58.780 Yeah, they're amazing dogs.
00:04:00.580 They're crazy.
00:04:01.720 They're, like, a lot of fun, though.
00:04:02.920 He's got those needle teeth at this point.
00:04:05.280 So he's scratching and biting into my hands.
00:04:08.560 I think I'm going to have to stop taking my blood thinners.
00:04:10.940 because i can't have this dog puncturing my hands for the love of god yeah he's great though
00:04:18.080 he's great he's great though like a dog is uh it's a commitment like i am you know me dave
00:04:25.700 you've you've lived with me at one point during covet i am not mr commitment i just am not that
00:04:34.260 guy so a dog is a big commitment cats you could just leave them alone for a week put enough food
00:04:40.540 and water out you're going to come home to a very smelly house but they'll be fine a dog will he'll
00:04:47.780 take your car out and go to bars and pick people up you gotta watch a dog constantly yeah dogs are
00:04:56.060 they're a chore i have two i love them they're the best but i remember beavis beavis would just
00:05:01.400 sit there yes i think i shared a room with beavis briefly yes and uh yeah it was good times but
00:05:08.000 But Beavis had a little dog in him.
00:05:10.040 He was a little, you know, mischievous, if you will.
00:05:15.340 Yeah, Beavis was a very unique cat, and everyone says that.
00:05:19.800 But he passed away like a year and something ago.
00:05:22.820 So he's a bonanama.
00:05:25.740 I know, R.I.P.
00:05:27.360 I have a Cavapoo still, so I look very manly walking it down the street.
00:05:33.420 Oof, what the hell?
00:05:35.300 Any poo dogs.
00:05:37.080 Any poo.
00:05:37.540 You could say, I have a pit poo.
00:05:41.320 I have a pit poo.
00:05:42.980 And it's like, yeah, the pit part just goes away.
00:05:45.820 The poo part will overwhelm any pit part.
00:05:50.660 Yeah, that's kind of a, it's kind of gay.
00:05:53.940 That's the word I'm looking for, Dave.
00:05:55.720 Yeah, I have a doodle weiler.
00:06:00.720 They're the worst.
00:06:01.900 Yeah, I mean, he's the best dog.
00:06:03.280 I love him.
00:06:04.100 But, yeah, anything that they've made, they've just decided to add poo to it.
00:06:07.360 And then I have to hear people on the left say, like, dogs should be left in the wild.
00:06:11.460 I'm like, what is this thing going to do in the wild?
00:06:14.000 Yeah, please.
00:06:14.480 Like, hair and makeup.
00:06:16.120 But, like, it looks like Whoopi Goldberg in Jumping Jack Flash, just real tiny.
00:06:22.360 It's in their nature to find a porcupine to brush their coat with.
00:06:27.320 There's no way an animal like that would live for a second out in the wild.
00:06:31.460 I don't trust, like, Belgians are really stout dogs.
00:06:35.980 Once they grow up, there's not many other things that could hurt it out in the wild, even here in South Carolina.
00:06:42.480 Maybe a bear.
00:06:43.620 I don't know.
00:06:44.080 It could probably scare bears away.
00:06:46.160 But as puppies, like, I'm afraid to let them out of my sight in the backyard.
00:06:52.020 It borders on the woods back there.
00:06:53.780 And, you know, God knows what's in there.
00:06:55.400 Monsters.
00:06:56.560 So, yeah, it's this period of time where you've got to kind of be chill and watch after the little guy.
00:07:02.960 Oh, especially when they're young.
00:07:04.240 I mean, I had a Rottweiler for years and it would chase after squirrels.
00:07:08.420 She would always be jumping after squirrels.
00:07:10.060 And I thought, oh, you know, she's never actually catching them.
00:07:13.000 And then one day I just was cutting the lawn and I went behind the house and there's just like a pile of dead bodies, just dead squirrel bodies with broken necks.
00:07:22.300 Like she was killing them and collecting them and just left them in a pile all winter.
00:07:28.200 Like they will get into everything.
00:07:31.240 Squirrel holocaust in the backyard.
00:07:35.100 That's terrible.
00:07:36.760 But that's what they do.
00:07:37.840 That's what they do.
00:07:38.820 All right, enough about our wonderful animals.
00:07:41.800 Mine, very masculine and manly.
00:07:43.660 Yours, gay.
00:07:45.120 Very.
00:07:45.460 Your book, Dave, I've been perusing this, if I may speak like I actually read, perusing your book.
00:07:53.240 Thank you.
00:07:53.960 And I've heard stories from you.
00:07:57.560 We would do breaks on our youth, and yours were very unique because I couldn't put together how those stories happened and how you were still sitting in front of me, a living human being, either not dead or in prison.
00:08:14.380 uh and and the start of the book is amazing like it get it hooks you right away you talking about
00:08:21.240 you know your buddy and and the fact that you were drunk at what 12 13 uh 14 was the real drunk one
00:08:31.080 yeah yeah where basically our parents had to stage an intervention after the first time we drank or
00:08:37.600 got drunk not tried alcohol but i mean really got hammered right right god i could never understand
00:08:43.420 that i would assume that after you get drunk the first time or even the first couple of times very
00:08:49.720 young and i used to talk to jimmy norton about this all the time because he stopped drinking
00:08:53.940 at a very young age i believe it was 17 or 18 yes he never got into anything else so bless him
00:08:59.800 yeah yeah as opposed to dave landau uh the the odd thing is though you you you think after you
00:09:08.460 get a little older like well maybe i'm mature enough or old enough to handle it now what do
00:09:14.240 you think about that logic i've thought about it um i just don't think i can it's because everything
00:09:21.160 i try i don't have that valve that shuts off right i wanted to and i'm also being an addict
00:09:26.920 that's an addict they have a word for it that's what they tell me that's i think that's the main
00:09:32.900 reason i'm not in prison is because a lot of it was done when i was a juvenile right and i you
00:09:38.840 know and i did have to look up some uh limitation laws when i wrote this i actually started writing
00:09:43.480 it in your house five years ago because by the way right by the way i had to start looking up
00:09:48.480 some limitation things too when i wrote my book i bet see he's admitting it look at that look at
00:09:59.300 him. Benny Mardonia is over here. I, yeah, I, I do have that urge where I wonder, especially
00:10:08.180 not because everything's legal. It's crazy to me when you look at something like, like, okay,
00:10:12.380 you can take ketamine now, or you can, uh, like, have you ever tried microdosing mushrooms? Like,
00:10:17.280 no, I've tried. Oh yeah. Just yesterday. I just did that. What are you out of your mind? Of course
00:10:22.880 not. Well, and they're like, it's used to treat depression. And I'm like, yeah, that's what I was
00:10:27.680 using it for in 1998 so is a Smith & Wesson 38 it doesn't mean I want to use it it was odd as I
00:10:38.620 could have gotten both on the same street no doubt in the big D and get the big D and get the big D
00:10:46.480 all in one house just pull up and go do you have the cure for depression in there all of it
00:10:51.920 everything right but it's it's it's being so young what was it uh what was it that kind of
00:11:00.360 got you into doing drugs so young i grew up in the suburbs of long island and and it was such
00:11:06.820 a taboo like my parents would tell me don't do drugs in school it was don't do drugs and it
00:11:12.400 seemed a very scary thing i didn't look at it like in the 80s where kids would go oh really just say
00:11:17.100 know yeah blow it out your ass it just made me like yeah i don't want to do this it seems
00:11:22.220 dangerous it seems like i don't want to get arrested i don't want to fall in with that crowd
00:11:26.500 uh what what brought you to doing and pretty hardcore stuff at such a young age well i mean
00:11:35.860 two things one they did a really bad job with like dare and rough mcgruff or scruff mcgruff
00:11:41.040 whatever the hell his name can't even remember his name never mind what he was telling you
00:11:44.340 eat your veggies what no that was hulk yeah he wore a trench coat like a flasher
00:11:52.600 yeah so it's just yeah there's nothing in barbara bush was the one who was telling you to just say
00:11:57.980 no and who didn't want to be just like barbara bush but when i when i got older my dad got sick
00:12:05.400 from agent orange in vietnam and the va was very helpful they gave us absolutely nothing
00:12:10.120 So he had to pay out of pocket for brain surgery and he had to go around the country, start having that happening.
00:12:15.460 I was getting watched by like babysitters and my grandma, my grandma and I had a lot in common, like her Vicodin and morphine patches.
00:12:24.480 She was usually so zonked out, you could just throw a party around her.
00:12:28.720 Turn her on to some micro dosing mushrooms.
00:12:34.240 She would say, did you take my pills?
00:12:36.420 I'm like, no, go back to bed.
00:12:37.840 Then I take more of her pills.
00:12:39.100 she was insane though she also had this like big old mansion that was rotted out
00:12:45.600 and she had a casino in the basement and that's where i first learned to make drinks
00:12:50.000 was out of uh like a spider little spider good fellas she used to shoot at my feet make me dance
00:12:57.980 it was but yeah when that started happening like a depression kicked in and anxiety and i just
00:13:05.080 you know you always start with alcohol which obviously in my book as you can see went really
00:13:10.080 well uh you know what's you know what's strange though about that like alcohol does work for
00:13:16.720 anxiety and depression it really does but but then it doesn't if they could figure out a drug
00:13:25.660 that was like when you first start drinking that night and your anxiety and inhibitions go away
00:13:32.140 and it doesn't end in a crash where you're now more anxious and depressed
00:13:37.020 and then a hangover where you're physically and mentally screwed up.
00:13:40.800 What a time that would be.
00:13:42.920 But, yeah, it works right up until it doesn't.
00:13:47.600 Right.
00:13:48.280 Well, there's a good 15-minute, 20-minute, maybe an hour window of when it's perfect.
00:13:54.020 Yeah.
00:13:54.560 And I feel warm.
00:13:56.180 You do everything better.
00:13:56.720 You play darts better.
00:13:58.120 You play foosball better in the bar.
00:14:00.040 there's just this place this zone where after a few drinks you are better than you were
00:14:05.940 yes you become the champion of a woman's pool league
00:14:09.720 it all works out but you do you yeah you're you're confident women are talking to you and
00:14:17.700 then there's that moment where you have too much and now there's charges yeah and there's just
00:14:23.180 it just changes so fast but if they're the only way that you seem to think like i know how i can
00:14:29.180 keep this buzz on and for me it's just pounding shot after shot and beer after beer to assume i'd
00:14:35.700 be fine but that just brings me into brown out dave who's really mean and then how do you know
00:14:41.940 how do you know what brown out dave's like you know but only because people have told me where
00:14:46.820 they're like oh you should call you should call this guy uh you need to call him and apologize
00:14:52.300 i heard i've heard that so many times isn't that great that only other people could tell you what
00:14:57.360 you're like in a brown out and a black that's terrible i'd like to see me in that but i guess
00:15:03.800 that can't happen you know i had to interview people for the book like it was a cold case just
00:15:08.620 to make sure i had all the right information yeah yeah yeah no it's i i really and so many people
00:15:16.080 had done it too i you know everybody's been there but i guess the difference is is i was there almost
00:15:22.180 every night and that's just terrible for your brain i'm told yeah i'm told yeah it is a thing
00:15:30.960 that like it's kind of a rite of passage or a natural thing for any kid especially guy you're
00:15:37.600 in your your mid to late teens that's what you do and then you get hammered drunk you black out you
00:15:43.820 feel like garbage and you go like um maybe next time like you kind of learn from it not immediately
00:15:51.080 believe me you could go quite a few years doing this but there does seem to be at this this point
00:15:56.560 where most people anyway can go that's not good that's not a good level of drunk to be
00:16:02.940 and you just did not have that no i took 13 arrests and then finally 13 13 12 most as a minor
00:16:12.940 and then uh 27 uh well when i was 27 i got my 13th and that's when they were really
00:16:20.120 gonna throw the book at me and i had i really had a choice i either had to go visit the d or get
00:16:26.340 sober so it was one or the other and i just got to that point where i that's when i decided to
00:16:32.900 clean up and and how old were you then 27 so i mean i went hard for 13 years that's kind of a
00:16:40.780 you went really hard like but the the time time wise it's not that out of the ordinary but
00:16:47.740 you fit like a lifetime of screwing up and drinking into 27 years yes i have cte from
00:16:56.800 car accidents caused by drinking the worst stories i ever heard were your driving stories because
00:17:04.580 it correct me if i'm wrong here the the day you got your license you got into it an accident
00:17:12.600 drunk that's correct that's correct sir that's correct your honor cleaned up my act i have a job
00:17:19.560 and i well it was this is also 1998 so i got the astonishing punishments of uh six months with the
00:17:28.340 suspended license the 90s truly were the greatest decade ever ever where they're just like you come
00:17:35.180 back in six months after you've learned your lesson from getting in a high-speed chase
00:17:39.620 smashing into a tree i i had we had my whole family over it was a family reunion everybody
00:17:46.540 went out to dinner we decided to you know have our uh my cousins and i snuck out i i took my
00:17:53.280 dad's car without asking and we went down to the ghetto we bought beer all that stuff and then
00:17:58.740 we're driving around drinking going to parties and yeah i ended up i was giving lawn jobs which
00:18:04.140 is not not sexual it's just uh it's just you know break talking donuts like paulie walnuts did to
00:18:11.600 uh chrissy and the sopranos sure yes like paulie walnuts and that's why i drive paulie's car now
00:18:16.980 a big el dorado a big el dorado do you really drive a big uh i have i have the exact same
00:18:26.200 car as paulie walnuts that is awesome that is awesome but that probably came from all your
00:18:33.000 memories of being like i just want as much metal around me as possible if i want a car there might
00:18:39.200 be a little a little dave landau driving down the street and uh he might hit me wow dude that's
00:18:46.760 exactly it but yeah i had to buy it i mean it was i'm like this is it's a perfect car in some old
00:18:52.740 dude's garage you know i bought it basically off of paulie walnuts this is old italian guy i love
00:19:00.320 it but it's weird it's it's strange because you you aren't into any of the tech of the new cars
00:19:06.060 or anything you like the old cigarette pushing cigarette lighter and the brights on the the
00:19:10.300 floor the little nub on the floor dude i love it there's an i hate the nuisance i i hate that
00:19:17.140 that auto stop that actually i think is worse for pollution i hate it that's the worst thing in a
00:19:23.660 car i got when when missy's driving and i'm in the passenger seat i'll it'll stop at the light
00:19:29.540 and I look over and she gets mad at me for getting mad at her for not having to shut it off.
00:19:33.780 It's like a pilot not closing the canopy when he gets into his fighter.
00:19:38.600 It should be second nature.
00:19:40.780 Hit that goddamn button.
00:19:42.580 I hate it.
00:19:43.460 It shuts your car off at a light.
00:19:46.140 Yes, for no reason.
00:19:47.460 And really what puts out more exhaust is stopping and starting a car.
00:19:53.000 Restarting it, right.
00:19:53.860 And it's killing your starter motor.
00:19:55.340 I used to have starter motors go out on me when I would just manually start it
00:20:00.620 once when I left, and then that was it.
00:20:03.640 When I left again, I'd start.
00:20:04.800 Imagine 50 times a day.
00:20:07.060 You see these Uber drivers use it.
00:20:08.740 I want to smack him in his turban.
00:20:11.740 Yeah, you just want to hit him until his earbuds fall out.
00:20:14.660 What are you doing while he's making some horrible, nefarious plans
00:20:19.660 with a friend?
00:20:24.060 Excuse me?
00:20:25.340 They don't even say, like, no, I'm talking on the phone.
00:20:28.880 They just continue, and you realize, oh, I don't understand this language,
00:20:32.260 and it's probably really, really bad.
00:20:35.800 Oh, yeah, they just say no English and just keep driving.
00:20:38.060 Yeah, yeah, they just keep driving.
00:20:39.700 I don't care.

00:22:07.200 Welcome back.
00:22:08.680 Anthony Cumia Show on this fine Sunday evening with the amazingly funny Dave Landau.
00:22:14.800 Dave's book, Party One, is out right now.
00:22:17.760 So you started writing this when we were sequestered during COVID, Dave?
00:22:23.640 I did.
00:22:24.480 I started writing it upstairs when you were playing some video games.
00:22:29.220 I remember that.
00:22:30.080 Yes.
00:22:30.440 I would scream horrible things and horrible words.
00:22:33.920 I still do.
00:22:36.560 It honestly reminded me of when I was a kid and my dad's friend was having
00:22:41.340 non-flashback.
00:22:42.600 Oh, Jesus.
00:22:43.600 Yeah, it was good.
00:22:45.180 It reminded me of home.
00:22:46.180 I didn't mind it at all.
00:22:47.760 my dad had them but yeah I was uh I was trying to figure out how to write this book and I put
00:22:53.160 it together about five years ago and the reason why I didn't release it yet is uh you know what's
00:22:59.640 in it I wanted to you know I'm putting everything that I've ever done from a certain point in my
00:23:04.540 life onto paper and then sharing it with the world and I did want to actually ask people like
00:23:09.980 hey, are you okay with this?
00:23:11.340 Oh, wow.
00:23:12.140 Yeah, I didn't know that.
00:23:16.180 No, that's pretty cool.
00:23:18.060 I can tell by his tweets.
00:23:19.720 Yeah, not only cool, but, you know, legally sound.
00:23:27.180 You know, you want to do that.
00:23:28.820 But you were doing some insane stuff.
00:23:31.560 And aside from the youthful indiscretions with drinking and driving and stuff,
00:23:35.980 You have some obviously a lot in there about dealing with depression, dealing with your dad passing away the way he did and and then getting into comedy like that's a pretty interesting transition of life.
00:23:55.700 It is after five years of high school and failing and then going on to do that.
00:24:00.900 You know, it really was it really was beneficial to me.
00:24:04.580 And when I just I we couldn't get on stage then because that whole pandemic happened and just staying with you, I just was like, all right, I'll just hang out and do this.
00:24:13.380 And we were going over so many old stories and, you know, just I just decided to write them down.
00:24:19.760 So, yeah, I'm glad I got it out.
00:24:22.340 It's cathartic, you know, and then there can be more, you know, chapter two or I guess, you know, my my the college years of my Saved by the Bell.
00:24:30.900 little uh book here but i was happy to get it out and it's it's it's been very positively received
00:24:37.980 which is cool yeah and uh you're gigging you're out there uh all the time i see you're doing live
00:24:45.340 shows and i see clips all the time on social media and god damn dave you are a funny guy

00:25:01.700 you're you're like a king of that and uh thank you really really fun i've always i always liked
00:25:07.680 when uh we we did a couple of gigs together i was talking about the first time you were my co-host
00:25:12.620 and i knew you i knew you were a comic you'd been on on my show quite a few times and were
00:25:19.040 very good and very funny but i had never seen your stand-up and uh we we went to to a gig
00:25:26.540 and governors yeah governors out on long island and right when i uh right when i'm sitting there
00:25:32.680 and you're ready to come on it hit me i go oh my god no what if he sucks i had never seen your

00:25:44.900 is we we laugh every day on the show and then you're just terrible on stage but uh thank goodness
00:25:51.760 that didn't come to pass dave i was very very impressed with your comment i'm just up there
00:25:57.820 playing a toaster like haywood banks yeah yeah if you would have brought out a guitar or a box
00:26:04.900 of props i'd have just left i'd have just walked away and in shame i hear a jaguar start
00:26:12.720 what is that what oh it's so weird Anthony must be in the bathroom I don't see him out in the
00:26:21.340 crowd anymore and she's been in there a while I hope he's all right I hope there's not a blockage
00:26:28.080 it's yeah I remember because I've done that too when I've had to go see people live and it's like
00:26:34.520 some of their first times and it's like don't invite people your first time no they're just
00:26:40.040 going to look at you and always remember you for how awful you were and then you're it's like a
00:26:43.960 first impression you can never correct that you're not correcting that i'm not going to just stick
00:26:49.480 with you going to gigs until you get better what am i you know uh so yeah i'm not your manager
00:26:56.700 your spiritual manager one of the greatest uh situations like that that happens with stuttering
