internet in a nutshell: "one ignorant man backing up another ignorant man" is the funniest thing I've heard all week! thank. you

[@AirWindFire]

This weeks Bad Friends mentioned not being a “nevernude”…this is an epic upload before it even starts! Love David Cross!

[@Udgrasil13]

Yeah, and to think, that there are dozens of them! DOZENS!!!

[@BridgeCityPassages]

Ryan is so natural in conversation. He is funny and smart. I wish I had started listening to his podcast years ago.

1:15:08 - Hey that's our game! Thanks for the recommendation David! We hope you and your daughter are having fun playing Rainbow Billy 😊

[@petehakkinen3020]

It's a good game, still have the last world to go.

[@ManaVoidEntertainment]

@@petehakkinen3020 Appreciate it Pete! Enjoy!

[@AlaskanApple]

It’s good seeing an idol who never wanted kids decide to have kids and come to grips with themselves and their ideas as a result. It’s a constant push to be better for our children; but it gives me confidence as a young father. I’ve been watching your material for most of my life; take care David Cross! Thank you for all the times you helped me not give a fuck just to get through the rough stuff

[@EulogizingSleep]

Wasn’t a fan of David Cross before this but now I am. This was one of Sickler’s best guests yet. Wow.

[@nelsonnoname001]

Same, always liked Bob a lot, but Dave came off as a little "off" - like a nerd written into a sitcom or something -

[@KateFrederick-tc6ku]

CHICKEN POT CHICKEN POT CHICKEN POT PIEEEEEEEE is still sung in my house when we are having it for dinner !!!

[@dpclerks09]

Can I use this chair?

[@kareengutierrez6948]

My absolute favorite scene of his!!!!! Fell in love with him on that show ❤😂

[@audiogus2651]

My wife still calls him Donny

[@robynhall3347]

Man this dude needs to make a movie about his time with his dad. That sounded intense.

[@1991twinkie]

The way he described the motel situation really reminded me of Shia LeBeouf's movie that was based off his childhood (it's called honey something I can't remember rn) would make a good "A24 esque" depressing comedy.

[@g.bizzy_]

I would have left too if this simp was my son

[@nelsonnoname001]

Starts in Geogia in the 5th grade and ends with The Mr Show - Bob can play his dad, and he can play random side characters (landlord, pawn-shop owner, judge)

[@heribertocalderon6094]

I had a similar story David.. father that leaves his family with debt and left a single mom with 3 kids alone. But here is the thing. You are where you are today due to that adversity.. Same with me.. I have been through a lot without my father but my mother took on that role.. loved hearing your story man... feels good to see how far youve come!

[@ericearnestjr]

Took a plan B pill will make her hate.

[@tkirkpat007]

Greatest episode as far as storytelling and therapeutic goes plus I love David.

[@JamesCalder1]

The anxiety of getting the kids to school on time hit me so hard for me. I struggle with this every day. Great episode!

[@samanthab1923]

Right? It was harder for me than going to work.

[@landocomando69]

The increasingly poor decisions of Todd Margaret was the funniest show I've seen with him. Would highly recommend it to anyone who loves David

[@trainspotter360]

I love the title describes the show exactly. It’s Todd Margaret increasingly making poor decisions.

[@zackerick4753]

where can i watch it?

[@Dave-dh2fw]

Snapped up a ticket to see David Cross when he comes to town the minute he mentioned he was going on tour! Can't wait.

[@erintheokay]

The discussion on anxiety hit home. I'm like that, too and it's linked directly to having an unstable childhood. Our brains are trying to think of every situation because that feels like we gain some control. Loved this chat. David is a gem.

[@georgieboy_htown4eva4eva]

Starting this Toosdee with a banger!!

[@AlaskanApple]

Thank you Ryan Sickler for another great Podcast! I’ve watched you since around the time I had my first kid. Your brand of humor, and ability to cross depths with your guests is why I love you. I wish you many more years of success and grace 🍀☀️

[@sixtwentysix]

Transition 👑 King: David cross: so I was in the middle of my family being evicted and it was really sad… Ryan: have you ever tried dad grass because you’ve been too high?

[@ericearnestjr]

Look upper about it. March 4 ²⁰²³ 4:25 am

[@ThePersistentRumor]

I appreciate David's honesty. Not all parents are Hallmark parents. I have a son, so I know virtually all parents do the best they can do. However, doing your best doesn't mean you did a good job.

[@Macandfam]

Night pants family!! Good morning JULIA! Much love to you all!!

[@landrec2]

This was a real treat! I love David Cross, his work, his comedy... I could listen to this man all day long. Sharp, articulate, wise, funny... His response to the last question was fabulous. Great interview gentlemen! Truly excellent episode of the lovely HoneyDew podcast.

[@terryhughes6248]

Let's goooo with that hitter Sickelcell!!

[@rebeccamora5837]

Thank you so much for your sincere honesty and struggles with being apparent in today's climate and situations. You don't think I could think of one dad I know that does not or has not at 1 point sounded just like you and you're very candid stories stories about everyday life being a dad. They commend David Cross for at least recognizing and not only that but seeking out the help or assistance he needs to be better. Love this Podcast I can't say enough.

[@brodebrode]

I came from spotify to say how much more of a fan of Cross I am now. From the couple comedy podcasts he's been doing and how vulnerable he was, just really amazing guy and story. Related on the new dad stuff a TON in this episode just life. Would love a part 2 it's great 👍

[@IRISH4LIFE5151]

Ryan did it again. Thank you David Cross. Thank you Ryan. Ryan hits it at the very end, YES, Tobias (Arrested Development) and Scary Movie. But David Cross is deep and true class.

[@alyphatnoe8771]

The most genuine advice to my teenage self segment! Amazing interview!

[@PlzReturnYourShoppingCart]

I LOVE David Cross! I am so happy to see him on the Dew! ❤️👌👍

[@jaylegleiter6669]

I love listening to David Cross speak. And I love listening to Sickler listen.

i disagree he constantly studders and can barley tell his own story. WE get it, your dad sucks.......so does everyone elses

Dave's a strong dude, wanted to give him a bro hug after this, but he curb-stomped his bad situation and became a comedy legend - cheers to you broski, I take back my previous opinion, not in my comedy pantheon, but I appreciate you more, much respect.

After hearing where David’s arrested development originates from really helps understand his TDS. Been a huge fan for a long time and you never know who’s susceptible to propaganda.

[@china_is_asshole]

What puzzle are you putting together??

[@fukuuu]

Stated like someone who's never listened to his stand up. "Shut Up, You Fucking Baby!"

[@IndagatorAD4]

@@fukuuu Why? Because I mentioned “Arrested Development” and claimed to be a fan for a very long time? Or is it because you still believe in “Russia Collusion”? I will recite one of my favorite quotes while leaving out the author…*clears throat*…”You SMOKE fuck”!

Man I always loved David Cross, and I always thought he had a pretty sharp edge to him as a person and now I know he turned out a fuckin SAINT for coming from that home life, Jesus. He's so great.

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

I’ve been a fan since a video store clerk named Zane in Stuart, FL got the first 2 seasons dvd set in. I asked what it was and he told it it was incredible and I had to watch it. I loved it so much. So funny and so clever. Todd Margret was fantastic too. Lots to love about his career. I really loved this episode. I got to know more about him from this than the previous 20 years of being a fan. Totally relate to the father stuff. Be well David and thanks for all of the great work. Sickle Cell, I love your pajama pants wearing ass too buddy ❤

[@earyehc]

This is a good ep. I love how relatable they are with their kids. I truly believe our children were meant to push us to the point that we question everything about ourselves. Sending all good vibes to the honeydews! ✌️💜

David Cross is such a good actor, and absolutely hilarious. I was pleasantly surprised when I watched his stand-up

David Cross is such a well versed comic that's it's hard to watch him stumble and mutter me to sleep.

[@mollyhope3595]

I found it unlistenable because of this. There was hardly a thru thought. Very disappointing because his story seems interesting.

[@monniekay]

Ditto that. I commented about this on his episodes of AYG and We Might Be Drunk. His storytelling is SO tedious. I can't imagine his standup.

[@SpookyTooth1974]

Had to pause Danny Brown Show to watch this

[@greggd1]

I’ve always been curious about David Cross as a person and Ryan has a way of getting down to it. He didn’t disappoint… 2 smart dads being real.🥃

[@yohojones]

David's story about playing video games with his daughter really hit home for me. I remember playing one of those Lego games with my daughter and I got so frustrated with this stupid game I told my daughter we had to stop because I was getting too frustrated with the game. I think about that all the time and feel like a huge piece of shit.

[@BRLambert4]

I have a shit parent memory too that haunts me. My kid is about to be 13 and this happened when she was 5... We were decorating the tree and I was trying to micro manage what she was doing and after she went to bed, I took apart the whole thing and redid it. I was able to use the Elf of the shelf as my cover. "He" left a note saying he knocked over the tree and had to redo it. I couldn't stop myself but I feel like a piece of shit whenever I think about it. I just told her a few months ago what i did. She didn't remember at all. Parenting man, we just try our best not to screw them up. I bet you're a great parent.

[@Eattits]

You're not alone. The other day my family member mentioned how I talk to my children like adults. Even my toddlers. Its harder for some of us to let down our guards and be emotionally vulnerable. It doesn't mean that we dont love our children. Parent apologies are huge here..

[@ericearnestjr]

Futuristicly will be unagreeable to work together with man daughter. Son maybe but the daughter is truly a No,No.

[@RedBernie]

other than the brinks truck that was backed up to his house. I’m assuming Alvin and The Chipmunks will be a low light we hear about

[@brek5]

Funny how Ryan mentions being embarrassed of the ticket. I was the opposite. When I was 5, we made a move to another state, and $ was tight for a while, and I was aware of it even at that age, but my parents refused to accept any help. I saw some kids at school with the free lunch tickets (theirs were green, and ours were like a reddish thing), and I asked my mom, like, why can't I just get those? She let me do it for a little while and then stopped it again, but I was like, "Dude, we can get breakfast and lunch for free. Let's do it!" I was jazzed by the idea, lol.

[@Ottophil]

My aunt was a lunch lady, and i asked her one time why they don’t catch all the kids I see stealing food. She said they were aware, but their policy was any kid hungry enough to steal food was not to be punished for it.

[@rustyshackleford5511]
