HoneyDew Podcast

[@Dflizzle]

Wow seems like Yannis really needed this convo. So glad Ryan lets people talk and vent regardless if it’s “good for the show”

[@bigleebrink]

Amen. The complete opposite to Bert Kreischer. He would've been interrupting everything with stories he's told a thousand times before. Ryan is special when it come to allowing people to tell their stories.

[@kevint985]

The perfect blend of a “Long day” and some “Honey Dew” 🤣 Love these two monsters❤️🤣🙏🏾

[@welcome2theZ00]

@@bigleebrink because Sickler has actually been through some real shit in life and has empathy and awareness on a MUCH deeper level than Bert

[@beavsinator]

I felt the same. Especially after the Pandy Wandy. Ryan Sickler has been the king of heartfelt comedy that many of us needed. Not to say he isn't trash (shout out Are You Garbage. One of my favorite episodes btw)

[@bigleebrink]

@@welcome2theZ00 that's very true.

[@theironemald8779]

The dementia game show idea is actually one of the funniest premises ever

[@Betty-Boop809]

That was hilarious…got to find the funny in the terrible situations.

[@GasStationSushiiii]

I laughed so hard I got dimentia

[@mrs.riche3939]

😆🤪😆

[@MrNicvdb]

No other show makes me cry, then laugh, then cry from laughing like the Honey Dew Y'all. Thank you for sharing with us Yannis.

[@Betty-Boop809]

Whoa, this is a gut wrenching & so authentic of what so many families deal with. Much love to Yannis and all the families dealing with this disease. I’m so happy he & his brother were able to mend fences. Big fan of Ryan & Yannis - great episode.

[@eileendivine]

As a Caregiver to Alzheimer's and Dementia patients I totally feel and send out my Love to all those families who have to watch their loved ones go through this horrible disease. I've been doing this for 13 years and it never gets easier. I get to clock out every day, the family doesn't. Sending my love to you all! ❤️

[@brookeb452]

Just want to say thank you for what you do, for all that’s worth coming from an internet stranger. I can’t even imagine, make sure you don’t forget to take time to take care of yourself too 💕

[@carlor.7416]

Thanks for doing this amazing work, you're the best!! ❤

[@RD-qb7sd]

You are so appreciated. The peace you bring others is unfathomable.

[@chuckseasel9505]

You are an exceptional human, and a special type of human. You are doing purposeful work. Much respect.

[@eileendivine]

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It truly means alot to me 💗

[@deliverykp1]

This episode brought memories flooding back. The elder law attorney, having to move mom twice, draining the bank accounts, fighting with my brother, the constant guilt in knowing I couldn't fix it... It's a tough, but necessary subject. Thank Yannis for sharing.

[@RD-qb7sd]

Yeah man, shit is real

[@SebastianConrad]

The mental and emotional strength YP illustrates is truly awe inspiring

[@BiljanaMilanovska]

So good that you talk about this Yannis. I appreciate it very much. People go through different struggles every day, and feel not understood, not heard, but i know they feel better when they at least can hear someone else went through it and had to do all the same... The guilt is a little less...

[@1-gz7xy]

[@brittanyboucher3536]

Yannis is describing the exact situation my grandma and my family are currently going through to the T. It's sad all around.

[@MsGilli1995]

Yeah, Altzheimers sucks. My Grandma at the end of her life was in a special facility for Alzheimer patients, where they could go where they want, do what they want and were taken care of till the end. We still visited here but her mental an physical state were declining rapidly. The hard thing is to accept the disease, to accept that your loved one isnt going to remember you or the other members of the family. But you still remember and you still can tell her all these things.

[@angelmartin2214]

im sorry your dealing with this too, youre not alone.

[@thesoftdistortion]

My dad died of Alzheimer's and vascular dementia too. He explained it exactly. Bang on.

[@josef2012]

🙏💗

[@rafx2014]

Yannis, I am going through the exact same thing with my mom. This poddy couldn't have come at a better time. thank you both.

[@satricon]

So glad to finally get to hear more about Yannis mom. So tragic, but it feels so good to hear someone put what ive felt into words. It means alot! Lost my dad do alzheimers. I kinda missed 7 years of life due to being a caretaker 24/7

[@josef2012]

🙏💗

[@oh_bunk]

ya know this is a really hard hitting episode. even for me being in my early 20s and my parents being in their late 40s early 50s. it’s so hard not to think about the future. makes me wanna spend more time and moments cause you never know. thank you sickler and yannis🖤

[@joshhponce6768]

I think the same thing but we never "really" appreciate them until they're gone, sadly.

[@GK-qc5ry]

It's scary to think about.

[@oh_bunk]

@@joshhponce6768 facts brotha.

[@nonoahhh]

Learned this on my journey If youre thinking about them send them a text or call If you're in the neighborhood pop through Losing a parent breaks everyone even the gnarliest roughest people

[@D-Fens_1632]

And I hate to scare ya but one day you're gonna be in your 40s and they're gonna be old and you're gonna be like "how did this happen so fast?"

[@ML-kx9gz]

lol almost died laughing when yannis is like man no my brain injured brother is living a great life hes got a van that picks him up wherever with all his friends in it and they arent going to pay taxes they are just going bowling, I mean he's got a girlfriend he cheated on her too LOL

[@Macandfam]

Good morning kings and queens above 18! I love you all! Never ever forget how much your loved. Reach out your not alone! I got a DUI baabyeeee!!!

[@Xaer_]

The new special MOM LOVE is absolutely hilarious!! I’ve never laughed that much by myself ever 👑

[@morikawa8991]

I keep saying this, and I genuinely mean it: This is seriously one of the most important podcasts out there right now. Not only are Ryan and his guests extremely funny and talented, the content of the interviews is so vital for people to hear. A lot of people are afraid to speak up about some of these things and hearing these guests and Ryan recount their stories makes such an impact on those who need it. Cheers to the Night Pants Nation Y’all!

[@jennykranz903]

I'm a caregiver for the elderly with dementia. I love what I do but you're right, it's TOUGH. I needed to hear this, thanks guys❤️

[@r2c479]

I went through this between my grandmother having Alzheimer’s and loosing my mother 3 years ago to breast cancer, the trama from loosing a loved one and being in and out of hospitals really something people don’t speak of often and it’s really impacted parts of a lot of peoples lives, very refreshing conversations of very heavy topics

[@ScorpionP2C]

This was special, thank you for opening up Yannis and Ryan your a good friend to have, it really shows here.

[@joey_ferrari24]

My grandfather has Alzheimer’s and just recently had a stroke. My grandma just beat her second bout with Chemotherapy from ovarian cancer, they require a full time care taker and I try to fill in as much as I can. Life can always be worse, having to see them in such a state reminds me to take care of myself and enjoy the fact that I can do so much even minute things like go for a walk on a sunny day. It’s such a humbling experience. I’m such a big fan of Yanni and even more so after having him share this!

[@jackavicious]

Yannis nailed it. As someone who has gone through this process with a grandparent with dementia, it is always great to hear candid conversations about how difficult it is to navigate. Thanks for this platform Ryan, these stories get me through my honeydew moments.

[@ronanoco]

Amazing podcast. Yannis is so open and seems like a great guy, and Ryan is very empathetic and a great interviewer.

[@CCCTTT3737]

Yaaaaaaaas!!!! Das it, it's the honey dew y'all

[@Pickletown22]

Thank you Yannis for sharing a part of your life with us. Thank you Ryan for having this podcast.

[@ish474]

we need people like Yannis to be brutally honest about this stuff because people aren't for so many reasons.💔❤

[@BPH55]

Yannis, I love you dude. Chocking back tears listening to this. You should be very proud of your mom and yourself. I googled your mom and her paper is right there on the UN website! Super cool. Keep up the great work!

[@Audiofatuation]

This was so so good, & so necessary. I had NO idea Yanni was going thru all this for his entire career, 💚💕

[@noemiburns6470]

My gramma has been going through this for over 2 years now. I could relate to a lot of what Yannis mentioned. As painful as this experience is, gramma still maintains her sense of humor & the rest of the fam just rallies around her. Great podcast, thanks for bringing the real, keep ‘em comin guys🫶🏽

[@nicholasdhall]

Gotta love Yanni man

[@tbranch227]

I'm excited to see how Yannis evolves once the grieving is over. I had no idea he had all of this on his shoulders.

[@Betty-Boop809]

Me too. It’s such a heavy burden to bear, it takes over your life.

[@willmartinez1606]

I been following Yanni since before History Hyenas. Great comic, great convos. So much respect to him for his hustle and his genuine approach. RIP MRS Pappas respect an rest easy.

[@_m_m4]

“Mom love” was hilarious! You’re killin it yanni baby!! ❤️😂

[@whatthecluck6874]

watched this from start to finish.. how awesome.

[@lhcmknrb]

Two favorite people right now. Phenomenal series of podcasts.

[@bound2musik]

I've worked with developmentally disabled people for the last 16 years and it is mentally draining, but also the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Currently I'm burnt and stressed beyond belief. The last couple of years have been really hard. It's nice to hear someone acknowledge it. I've never looked for praise doing this, but hearing someone acknowledge it always makes me feel good. 😁👍

[@nickitoff9629]

Great show!! Thank you both! My Grandmother passed the same way. My favorite memory was siting with her holding her hand. She then asked my name and I said I was her grandson? She said, " Here I 'am holding a young handsome boys hand. (laughing) Please tell me about yourself because I'm to young for grandkids!" I held back my tears, and we talked and talked. Miss you Grandma!

[@4570ss]

Best podcast interviewer, hands down . Another great episode .

[@TheLazyTexan]

Greek kid coming in with the onions! I’m crying! Love Yanni great episode!

[@devonterileyy]

This episode is why I'm a fan of comedy. This episode had so many highs and lows so many relatable moment's of angry, sad and funny feelings. How you navigate life is so fasinating it's so unpredictable. How can you not be a fan of these two dudes after this.

[@maverik15j]

Yannis strikes me as a guy who’s nearly emptied his reservoir of tears. Can’t fathom this hardship.

[@tracihoeflick666]

YANNIS!!!!!! You are one of the strongest humans I have ever seen. I went through the same thing with my mom. She passed in 2004. I still struggle mentally to this day. Thank you for this

Yanni P equals an auto watch. You are hands down one of my favorite podcasts

[@JoeKing704]

Yannis, I feel for you. My grandfather has Alzheimer’s, his wife my nana died, which was the only way he could stay in his house was because she was alive. Now he is sitting in a nursing home, losing his mind, body and faculties all good, his mind going. Tells my dad he wants to go home. Forgets his wife is dead. It’s tragic man. Hang in there, sounds like you did everything you could for your mother.

[@nickeq42]

Man yanni ive been listening to you since covid started but the fact that you held everything down like a g is astounding. I appreciate you even more. And i just want to tell you that you have a lifelong fan. #WASTHADEALIS!

Loved how you guys managed to find the humor and laugh throughout telling such a dark story. That’s why we love comics!! Much love ❤️

Did anyone else notice ‘with special guest Rick Sickler’ on the marquee in the intro? That’s a honey dew 🤣

Dang! I don't remember backlash on that ep. Yannis doesn't deserve that. Let's all go watch that ep again and hit that like button!

[@Petroness]

I just went and listened to the ambulance story. The comments were great!!! Maybe the bad comments got deleted or something but overall it was really positive

[@GasStationSushiiii]

The comments were from a bunch of people complaining they were talking about covid. The pod was funny as hell to me

[@pcktbrst69]

And how could you not talk about covid? Especially then? It’s the Honey Dew Y’all!!

Perfect Honeydew episode. Incredibly insightful, heart wrenching and funny as hell too.

[@fourplayee]

Part 2 was a great episode I dealt with a traumatic time with getting covid. To hear both of your experiences, helped me so much. I didn’t feel alone

[@CLINDSEY0109]

This podcast meant so much. I get it! I got a double shot, my mother (stroke) and grandmother (old age). At the end, I had hospice nurses crying when I came in to visit them both bedside. Thank you for describing all the hurt, frustration and helplessness this cruel disease brings along with some humor, you guys are the best!

[@whenwasthat]

God damn this was a tough watch. My grandpa had dementia for years. My mum would visit him every day for years. She has an acquired brain injury and her mind seems to be declining and she's only 63. I've been crying and laughing throughout this. Thankyou Honeydew 👍

[@immasurvivor]

People, I just finished Yannis special....its fkn good. Its polished like he's been doing that material for 10 years, not 2. Best special ive seen in while. Go watch it.

[@seanscallen4901]

Love you Yannis! A very helpful thing to share. I think it will help a lot of people including myself

[@luisattack]

Yannis is the perfect definition for the podcast highlighting the low lights in life definitely had to be a great weight off his shoulders to talk about it! Condolences for the pappas family 🙏🏼

[@maximumpr4em]

Ryan Sickler love the podcast with highlighting the low light, great slogan. But this episode hit me. My father is at the beginging of vascular dementia from a stroke he had in March. Wish nothing but great thing for both you and Yannis and thanks for this episode. Much love guys.

[@christianf.1584]

Ryan... I saw you and Tom in LA last year. I've watched your podcast here and there, but man... I really enjoyed this episode. allowing Yanis to talk and jumping in perfectly. This Pod needs to blow up because it's truly amazing. Keep at it and good luck.

[@MockManor]

My brothers and I went through the same thing Yannis went thru. It’s crazy because me and Yannis are about the same age and both from Brooklyn. The only difference in my experience was I refused to put my mom in a home. She passed peacefully in the home she raised me in. All the feelings of guilt, anger, and frustration….you will feel all those things. Now I’ve definitely reconciled my guilt because like Yannis said, we’re only human and you have to put on the oxygen mask first, before you can help you’re loved one. I appreciate Yannis really digging deep on his experience and describing the emotional toll he went through. My brothers and I definitely relate. From one fellow New Yorker to another, wishing many blessings and prosperity to you Yannis. Plus, love your special….top tier comedy. 💪🏾

[@louisegallagher6094]

Thank you for this episode. I am an only child who cared for my widowed mom after a massive stroke and dementia while I was a single mom with 2 toddlers. The guilt and anger was overwhelming.

Thanks for talking about this terrible disease Mr Pappas and sorry to hear about your mom. I am 50 years old and I have seen several family members go through this same thing it’s horrible. The thing that bothers me the most about this is that there’s a good chance that I’m going to have this and I wont know that I have it and I’m going to be a huge burden to my young daughters. I guess the more I talk about it the better I don’t know 🤷‍♂️. Thanks again
