    I like watching comedians i haven't really paid attention to on The Honeydew. Gives me a chance to find out about them and not judge them just on the comedy aspect of them.

    Listened yesterday on Spotify but figured I’d come drop a comment on here. Sickler, Been a fan of yours for years and some people might only be realizing how damn good you are as a podcast host. The Honey Dew is one of THE best podcasts out there. And Ian, man o man is this guy fucking great. Started listening to Bein Ian(with jordan) after I saw Ian on AYG and Kill Tony. The dude is fucking hilarious and I’ve become a big fan in a short period of time. You guys are hilarious and 2 of my favs for sure. Sickler when you coming to do some shows in NJ?

    22:50-23:35 just hit me really hard. 2 weeks ago me and my mom found my brother dead in my bedroom from an overdose. A lot of family came out and yeah we mainly just kind of sat in silence the first couple days just in utter disbelief. The time stamp I put at the beginning of this is so accurate.

    • @talliburr2893
      @talliburr2893 Рік тому +3

      I just wanted to comment and say you’re not alone. I lost my brother a little over 12 years ago. I know you’re not asking for advice but I just wanted to share some of my experience and hopefully it helps someone.
      In my own process, I learned how important it is to talk about my feelings about the loss. The anger, the sadness, the pain, everything. I learned that it’s okay to let myself grieve and feel the things I need to. There isn’t a right way to grieve, it’s just about letting oneself feel what you need to feel and knowing that it’s okay to do so.
      Hang in there, and know that it’s okay to feel whatever you’re feeling right now. and I’m tremendously sorry for your loss. I know it isn’t easy.

I never knew Ian's backstory but had a similar road myself dealing with addiction and self-harm. I do find dark humour and comedy as an outlet for me and my family in daily life interactions and has always been our go to. Love this type of content Ryan! Hope you're well and keep kicking ass.

    This podcast hit home w me. Lost my mom two years ago and didn't know anyone who had went through the same thing as me. All the shes in a better place would be so annoying to hear. I also hear my mom when I laugh really hard or do something that she would've done or said. Great podcast

    What a great episode. Ian is a riot. Would love to hear more about his music taste.
    P.s. Please get Matt McCusker on the Dew!!!

    Naltrexone is a life saver. More people need to know about it for alcohol. My story is very similar to yours Ian. Great ep thanks for sharing. 59:40
