How To Self ‘Spot Check’ with Dave Landau | American Recovery | PragerU 21.06.2026 1ч 8минHe was arrested 13 times. Had 4 DUIs. Woke up driving on the freeway. And still found a way back. Comedian Dave Landau joins Aaron Prager on American Recovery for one of the most raw, honest—and surprisingly funny—conversations about addiction, trauma, and redemption you'll ever hear. Dave grew up in a household shaped by his mother's bipolar disorder and watching his father, a Vietnam veteran, die from Agent Orange brain cancer. By his mid-20s, he was a successful stand-up comic and a full-blown alcoholic, burning through substances the same way he burned through opportunities. What turned it around? A fourth DUI, a mug shot he didn't recognize, and a moment when he finally felt God step in. ▶️ Watch more episodes of American Recovery at: https://l.prageru.com/49MlTfO What else is PragerU unpacking?
