    Brad, if you read comments, when you die in 80 years, if I'm still alive I'll tweet out: "His life was too short.. RIP"

    telling a *perfect* joke
    when someone is reliving a powerful memory.
    It takes all that bittersweet sting away, and replaces it with an unbridled joy and laughter.

    This is a powerful episode Ryan! Nobody can prepare you for the loss of a parent, whether you see it coming or not. Brad speaking from his heart about how grateful he was to have his Dad around long enough to see his success almost got me, I'm not going to lie!
    The HoneyDew restores my faith in humanity a little bit with episodes like this! Happy Toozdee ya'll!

    “Grief is love with no where to go” an interesting sentiment. My father passed recently and we had an awful relationship for the first 30 years. My grief is filled with what ifs, words never spoken, questions never asked or answered.

      It's only at the beginning, so he doesn't lose monetization.. after 10-20 min, you can say almost anything, but not near the beginning if you wanna get paid for your time.. it's actually a very common practice with all UA-cam creators nowadays.. I don't think they should have to be initially censored just to outwit the AI swear-bots YT has in place to keep things kid-friendly, but at least it doesn't have to be the whole thing.. yet.

    I can relate to the Christmas room, lol. We had a living room right off the front hallway that had fancy, uncomfortable furniture and a piano. We used that room for piano lessons and taking Christmas pictures...that's it. Also had a dining room that we ate in 3x a year...Easter, Tgiving, and Xmas cuz we had an eat-in kitchen we used day-to-day. And now, 30 yrs later, I live in my car...how things change 🤷‍♀️

  • @petermaylin256
    @petermaylin256 7 місяців тому +1

    I'm 42 years old and my dad is 73. In the last year or so, so many comedians have had their fathers die and have talked about it on pods. Everytime it chokes me up, knowing that my time is coming, maybe in 5 or 10 or even 20 if I'm really, really, lucky, but it's coming. Sometimes I have to turn the episode off half way through, like this one, but there's a part of me that feels like it's helping me prepare

    Brad, i urge you to listen to your voicemail messages from your dad. I had a voicemail message from my aunty the night she passed, but i couldn't bare to hear it for months.. by the time id plucked up the courage, it had been automatically erased, I couldn't retrieve it. I now have to live with that, and it sucks. You probably wont even see this message, but to whoever is reading this: Time is precious, we never know how much we have.
    Big love to the honeydew, Ryan, Brad and Dads ❤

    If wee man spent all the time on creating the brand that is “him” … how come he uses a diff stage name that makes it harder for people who are interested in seeing him to figure out where he’s performing. Just use your regular name man. We have no idea who this “Brad” guy is! Just use your OG stage name so the public knows who you are and might actually tune in

    Brad's dad was just like my Grandpa. After he retired, he golfed everyday but Sunday. He had skin cancer a couple of times, throat cancer & kicked all of it... He golfed until he was 90 & then got dementia, just declined fast & passed away at 92..
    But this gave me a lot of good memories, & I really enjoyed hearing all Brad's stories... Also, I feel like you absolutely can tell your loved ones you love them.. my Grandpa & Grandma had a really close bond with my son, who's now almost 17.. my Grandpa made me son his own tiny golf clubs when he was little, & my son was the only person allowed to drive his golf cart .. after my Grandpa passed, my son told me he had a dream of him sitting in a restaurant with his brother who'd passed right before he did... I knew that was my Grandpa telling my son he was good, he was with his brother again... My Grandma passed 2 years to the day that my Grandpa did. Before I could even tell my son that she had passed away the night before, he told me he had another dream of Grandpa but this time Grandma was with him.. I felt like the dreams were real communication but I didn't know for sure until then .. bc before my own son went through something like that, there is zero ways he knew she passed away, I woke him up that morning to tell him & he said he had the dream before he ever knew anything was wrong. But he knew it was weird she was in the dream .. she knew he was worried about her bc we had just visited her recently before that.. so I was in shock when he said he had that dream. After that, I KNEW she came to let him know she was ok & with Grandpa again... So I may be some weirdo stranger online, but I can say I know without a doubt, they hear us... so if you ever feel anything was left unsaid, just say it . They'll hear you..
    Much love from
    Texas💓💓

    God this is a great and relatable podcast for me for sure, My dad died in 2005 when I was 12, my mom was a paraplegic for 40+ years and she died last January of 2023, after I had to take care of her full time for her last 3 years, so I lost both my parents by 30, then my wife’s dad also died in 2023 so my 3 year old son is already down to 1 Grandparent! Time doesn’t heal loss but there’s a part of you that never wants to forget anyway!
