Jump Around. Crash Hard. | Danny Boy O'Connor

Jump Around. Crash Hard. | Danny Boy O'Connor

Danny Boy O'Connor helped build one of the biggest songs of the 1990s. As a founding member of House of Pain, he watched "Jump Around" become a global anthem and experienced everything that came with it: money, fame, chaos, addiction, and eventually rock bottom. In this conversation, Danny shares stories from a childhood shaped by violence, crime, and survival. We talk about the rise of House of Pain, getting kicked off the Beastie Boys tour, sudden success, reckless spending, meth addiction, relapse, and the long road to recovery. But this isn't just a story about music. It's a story about redemption. After getting sober, Danny found a new purpose preserving The Outsiders House in Tulsa, turning a forgotten movie location into a museum that now inspires people from around the world. This is a conversation about identity, recovery, second chances, and what happens when you finally find a mission bigger than yourself.
