HoneyDew Podcast

bit.ly/ryansickler
My HoneyDew this week is Chris Duffin! Chris Highlights Lowlights about growing up homeless in the woods of the Pacific Northwest! The shit this dude has seen! We talk everything from murder, exposing a child sex ring that involved prominent figures in the police department, and raising his two sisters on his own. Chris not only has incredible inner strength, his physical strength is record setting! Chris is the only person on earth to squat and deadlift 1000+ lbs. for multiple repetitions and holds the Guinness Record for that feat!

[@davidmoore4460]

Sickler let's bring this guy back for a part 2

[@ryits]

Bruh, I was blindsided. Never heard of this guy. What an incredible story.

[@ironferret]

Amen. This guy Duffin refilled my spiritual gas tank just by listening to him

[@reececameron4936]

i know it's kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online?

[@dangeloelliot960]

@Reece Cameron try flixzone. Just google for it =)

[@HarryManback0]

Holy shit, never expected to see one of the best powerlifters in history on the Honeydew! If you aren't familiar with powerlifting, go watch this guy deadlift 675 for 20 reps. That kind of strength is unimaginable for even the most elite athletes on the planet.

[@satricon]

Word! i was shocked!

[@AG-rl6xf]

What he’s overcome is a lot more impressive then deadlifting. He’s a beast that just so happens to lift.

[@rambooven4290]

I’ve never heard of this guy. It was really entertaining to watch what you recommended. That was absolutely insane!

[@avidlyathena]

He is JACKED! Those arms!

[@willthomas7666]

Yeah if u can deadlift 675 lbs even once convention style.your strong asf.now doing that in a set of 20.... Is bonkers strength

[@tylerthompson1842]

This podcast should win an award. Easily the best Honeydew episode to date.

[@uncledron5287]

This guy is what the Honey Dew is all about.

[@smnthgl85]

I'd love to see Chris Duffin back on the Honeydew again. I'm already looking for his book.

[@connorvillen5577]

Craziest life that I have ever heard. Happy to be humbled by Chris, and thank you Ryan for the beautiful talk.

[@connorvillen5577]

Roger that Jean

[@bryanhoover289]

“I don’t even wanna use the term home schooled, were you tree-fort-schooled?” Christ sickle cell I can’t even smoke while you talk man😂😂😂😂😂

[@hectorscustomrods2606]

As a Children's Social Worker, when he explains the part about him being taken away without emotion, its a symptom of trauma. A very common symptom. And back then, the human traficking was very common unfortunately. Im glad to see hes doing great now.

[@danconly632]

Wait wut? I've been a Chris Duffin fan for years, I am so into this!

[@armanwillabay7265]

That was one of the most captivating episodes ive seen of any podcast. What a wild ride he was on. I thought i was poor because i grew up in a trailer, he is right, i wasnt fucking poor, he was happy to have a trailer. What a man.

[@willthomas7666]

You may have been poor for our standards of living.but there's still tons of ppl in 3rd world countries with no food or water living in handmade shelters. there's always someone else that has it way harder then we do.and it make u appreciate things bc I've had stints being homeless and it sucks

[@ryansouthard4929]

Already listened to the audio yesterday. Still just in awe of what a person can achieve. Love the Dew!!!

[@TheIzzysmom07]

Same!🙋🏼‍♀️ I wanted to watch the podcast. But oh yeah my mind was blown yesterday.....😳 Whatta fuggin beast.

[@AmandaBurns14]

I'm only 26 minutes in and I'm sitting here like 😳 what a crazy life story this guy has There needs to be a t-shirt made with three bunnies that says "breakfast, lunch & dinner" 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheIzzysmom07]

🤣🤣🤣 I busted out laughing! At least they ate.♡♡

[@epheyeTK]

For real lol Every story becomes another story inside of a story 😆

[@Sobersunrise]

Now this was an unexpected, yet very appreciated surprise!

[@BrentStrition]

Truly inspirational. It’s amazing to hear these stories of just how wild his life was and has achieved unbelievable feats. Especially as a man with bipolar like myself it’s a perfect representation that it doesn’t matter your issues. You can achieve it, if you believe it

[@juice2620]

Halfway through and blown away by this story. Seriously great interview

[@cowboycontraband9834]

This is the most wild crossover I’ve seen in awhile haha been following Chris Duffin for years

[@HyperintelligentViralSpider]

Right? Same here, I saw this on insta and was like this is going to blow people's minds

[@cathalbuckley3606]

It's incredibly difficult to even belive this man's story at first because it's so fucking insane but I fully believe it, He's an incredible guy....truly

[@satricon]

GOOD choice of guest! Chris is an amazing guy! absolute inspiration! Look him up!

[@chubbybehem0th]

This is the most insane story I've ever heard. The fact that he went through all of that and is now a functioning human being is a testament to his strength and resilience.

[@TheUsusalQuestion]

I love Chris so much, his lifting programs are amazing and he's an all around level headed guy, no bullshit or sugar coating.

[@erinnkemp]

Best interview in awhile! Very inspiring. Going to get his book. Great great interview. Hits home.

[@hyperspaceelf]

I've never heard of you, Mr. Duffin, but I'm very glad I have now. Talk about trauma, gotDAMN, you have been through some shit, sir. Thank you for sharing some of your stories with us, truly inspiring that you came out the other side of all of that the amazing, humble, and genuine person you are. Much love.

[@trevorrisley5419]

He definitely is. You should checkout his book. He’s a world-class human being.

[@hyperspaceelf]

@@trevorrisley5419 I absolutely will be.. actually, going to amazon to order it right now, I could use some inspiration in life currently. Hope all is well with you, much love.

[@jacked4121]

Ryan always look like a daddy but now he’s looking like a father lmao

[@nb-wp2qz]

Zaddy*

[@nancystamps1200]

First time I have ever heard of Chris and is honestly what I needed to hear at the exact moment. I relate to him so much. Inspiring!! Great Podcast!! RYAN, Alway love your podcast!!!! Thank you...😊

[@Breeze7-9]

Could of listened to another hour of his stories from growing up!! Another great episode!

[@Chris-P]

15:48 tree fort school 😂

[@teresagarrett435]

I wasn’t going to listen to this one but I’m so glad I did ❤️❤️ you never know what will hit home

[@noneyabidniss4763]

Chris absolutely needs to come back, one of the best Honeydews I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Such a great dude.

[@wakjob961]

Ryan, you are seriously just about the only podcast I'm still subbed to... great content brother!

[@ConcealedArtLeather]

This is one of the best Honeydews ever.

[@Rangoon_Dip]

Seriously, such an incredible episode

[@brandon4391]

We say that about almost every honeydew

[@epheyeTK]

This is one of the most amazing stories I've ever heard lol This guy deserves some kind of medal, or something that hasn't even been created yet.

[@TheKaleighWelch]

A movie!

[@erikh771]

What a wild ride this podcast was. I would definitely like to see him come on again to hear more stories from his childhood.

[@satricon]

i'll second that!

[@TheMitch112190]

Dude, Chris is on such a different level of living. I followed him (and continue to do so) for the last say 3 years? Never heard a thing about his past, I was concentrated on his teaching approach and what it took to be absolutely strong. With everything said on here, I have such a different perspective of him and what he does, what a gentle soul and moving human being, you sir have a life time fan here.

[@ultranitro437]

This interview deserves SOOO many more views!!! This dude is a True OG!

[@thebonbrests741]

This reminded me so much of my grandmother and mom, tugged at my heartstrings. Thank you for this.

[@jlu_midlifecrisis1336]

Holy crap what a story. From nothing to everything to nothing and back to everything. Inspiring!!!!

[@bstims2506]

My day just got better. 2 more hours at work and this will make it better

[@cliftonnobles5600]

10 minutes in I'm like wtf is HAPPENING?

[@nwk2VGtxbs26_eiXlo2wnQ]

Holy Shit Ryan, this podcast is on another level altogether.

[@Stheffanie]

I can't get over the fact this guy grew up in the woods that's mind blowing

[@robsmentalplayground]

Here for the vid-yuh on Toos-DEEE!!! Damn, Chris's story is amazing. Can't really justify complaining about anything anymore 🤣

[@sonofmon6093]

Best Podcast in a while, Chris Duffin is a badass

[@charlesjarman-price3954]

Had the pleasure of training with Chris at Kabuki Strength. Amazingly generous and kind man, gave me a lot of his time for free

[@gatorgator3833]

Man! I feel like hugging this man (with all respect)

[@zachdadante5059]

This one changed my life . The way he explained going for what you really want in life.

[@georgieboy_htown4eva4eva]

This guy is very deep. Excellent guest. What an incredible story.

[@josecortes2328]

Best Honeydew episode ever. No competition. Chris's life stories really put your life in perspective.

[@kasparbhauser9707]

Wow this guy's story is amazing, thank you for having him on!

[@noexcuse4youbeastisme]

He reminds of Jujimufu. Please bring Juji on the Honey Dew!!!

[@jaemarcus4268]

DUFFIN DROPPED KNOWLEDGE. Inspirational to say the least. Untouchable And priceless life story. H.A.M..

[@joshb706]

Hands down my favorite honeydew. Gotta bring duffin back for another round. Maybe even a joey diaz type of saga???

[@CrissM7]

I want so much more with Chris. Loved this episode! And I’m sure he has so many more stories to tell

[@emmyashbaugh]

Damn. We need a series with Chris like you do with Diaz. 🙏

[@swilkysmooth]

I am a huge fan of both of these guys! this is like two halfs of my life meeting and i am giddy!

[@Mikemikemike13579]

Thank you for sharing your story Chris! You have a great message and more people need to hear it

[@jakelarose9961]

Wow, I’m aware of Chris, but never expected to see him on one of my favorite podcasts. Should be a good one

[@tsow5222]

This is an all time podcast. Powerful yet informative, this is what the Honeydew is all about

[@th3789]

Absolutely fabulous podcast. First real sincere talk on success. I could of listened to his stories and nuggets of truth for another 4 hours. Thanks Ryan!!

[@EMD_HOKIO]

This guy has one of the most amazing stories I have ever heard in all my life

[@jasminemoorehead9710]

Also best story I have ever heard. I heard recently if you have been abused you either over come it or become it. Not many people over come it and become stronger. It is so good to hear a story of someone overcoming it.

[@richkrupansky1339]

This story was awsome. Could definitely be a movie script

[@ironferret]

This was very inspiring. Great interview with Chris Duffin 💪 🙏

[@Hairofthedog666]

I hope Chris will come back for another Honeydew! Very inspirational❤

[@georgejarmanprice4492]

All time favourite video to watch pre workout to get psyched is Chris deadlifting 900 and screaming "YOU DONT KNOW ME! YOU WANNA SEE WHO I AM!!" 🤣💪🔥

[@ChrisThompson4UD10N0T]

I love this look forward to it every week thank you brother

[@MrJimodoom]

Super interesting, hadn't heard of Chris before this.. interested in his books now!

[@michellee7469]

Wow Chris’s story has a lot of parallels to mine...mind blown right now.

[@ryanmaclachlan7087]

15:47 Tree fort schooled 😂 I’ve never heard of this dude but he’s awesome

[@Stephanie-le2ec]

Amazing story from this man. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@robertfrost8264]

Glad I finally checked this out. I didn't know his name in my podcasts and then saw the thumbnail and decided to see what's up. This was a great one.

[@andressandoval8596]

I’d really like to learn more about spinal care and what not. Great episode!

[@anthonycostantini1756]

incredible interview! Bravo, Ryan!

[@divannn.strydom]

Ryan, thanks for this podcast man!

[@wwatsonrude1]

Thank you Chris this was a inspiration and thank you honey dew for doing the dew

[@anarmyoftigers]

I’m only 1/3 of the way through and id love to see this guy back on

[@nb-wp2qz]

I've read 2 books in my life and that last one was 8 years ago. This dude's book might be the third.

[@only_son5040]

Always makes me smile when I see a new honeydew. Wearing my night pants but need some night shorts here in Bama

[@staceybilodeau1504]

Thank you for this. Thank you for telling your story. Perspective!

[@vance9090]

Love Chris. This was an absolute treat

[@silvertear87]

What an episode. So many crazy stories.

[@koryjarrett6335]

Great episode!!

[@diana8321]

This was one of the most captivating podcast episodes I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. Just wow!

[@xSmokey95]

Im absolutely blown away hearing this mans story. Definitely one of the best podcasts ive listened to in awhile. Podcast of the month goes to this one 🥇

[@ElbowsUnique]

This is worlds colliding for me. Great interview

[@trentcoburn378]

One of the best one for sure made me think about my life in a new way

[@musclesmiyazaki]

Fan of both guys, I'm amazed this connection has been made

[@prismsf9631]

These are the most insane stories I’ve ever heard, incredible to hear how well he has done for himself!!!

[@sonofmon6093]

Always when your raising your own, things hit you

[@malykigr13]

This man has a truly heart warming story

[@beantown702]

Both of my worlds collided. Duffin is one of the greatest 242/275lb class powerlifters ever

[@acuraguy3231]

Dude what a great episode

[@cosmic_ghostwolf]

Chris has one of the most amazing and flabbergasting stories that I have ever heard.

[@MrWeirdman5000]

I hope to see back...his stories are great and you know he has so much more.

[@spanky812]

Much respect for him to power through talking about those harder moments. You could see him straining to keep it in. Hes probably had a lot of practice with that unfortunately

[@lynno1974]

Chris, you have left more than a mark in this world. The people that know you are better for it. What a man, surviving to thriving.

[@beebbeebson259]

finally a good guest on this show. so many uninteresting comedians on here with boring stories.

[@treyanner464]

Sickler looks like he races cars on the weekend. Love the honeydew!

[@stellarart3444]

What a great episode. Fantastic. 💜 I do have to say it always makes me sad though that I'm too broke for patreon. It seems like I'm missing some really good stuff. Love you anyway of course!

[@PBCPrincess1]

What a cool story! I love this guy.
