HoneyDew Podcast

[@jeremyweems4916]

I accidentally came across this guy's stand up via KZbin shorts. He's absolutely hilarious. Glad to see him on a big podcast.

[@BakedBean318]

Same here. Ive seen him alot these past few months. It was almost fate brother!

[@LiquidDaylight]

Same here. Exactly. This is a great surprise.

[@gnegrete6291]

Lol wasn’t sure if it was the same guy for a second. Went to look his name up and I was like oh shit this guy

[@Mcgilacudi]

Same

[@Danaa.k1103]

Yay! He’s the best

[@chelseyk1252]

I WANT TO SEE AN EPISODE WITH TROY AND CHRISSY CHAOS!!! The combined energy in a room with Distefano?! 🙌🙌🙌

[@jbudd823]

Thinking the exact same thing. Imagine being in a room with Chrissy and Troy, I don't even know if my heart can handle that energy.

[@chrisanthony9646]

I think i love you

[@400kot]

Also theo von 😂

[@fantasiafox22]

Agreed!!

[@bmfrandomness1565]

Dude, I've seen some of his clips. He's definitely a funny guy. But, there's NO WAY I coulda GUESSED that his childhood was so wild! We're glad you cleaned up and stuck around, Troy. Welcome to the HoneyDew family!

[@svasila]

A quick, funny guy. A fast sniper with words and a fucked up childhood usually go hand in hand.

[@Gcm42011]

The fact he told his parents his struggles says a lot, people who suffer from addiction want to hide and keep everything inside, when we open up we do regret it sometimes , especially when it hurts our loved ones, I’m happy Troy is doing comedy now

[@adultcrash13]

Troy Bond is one of the best young comics working today imo

[@Mikewheeler131]

"Why isnt noone helping me" funniest but saddest thing ive heard in a long time.

[@celine9296]

It makes me so happy to see Troy happy and peaceful after everything he's been through. He is very successful and will become even more. I hope to meet this kind souled man one day. He is perfect.

[@heavenwasfool]

This is why I love the honeydew. Great comedians are able to open up and it makes me a forever fan.

[@braden_clancy11]

“he was on the spectrum and he really enjoys the beatles” is a sentence someone has used to describe me before😭

[@jasonplougher5808]

Ryan’s laugh is infectious. I lived with my uncle doing crack for several years after my divorce. I was a lot older but I can definately relate to the crazy stories . Great episode. Btw no longer doing crack!!! lol

[@oprahzynfrey]

I can definitely relate to the profuse sweating when recalling difficult situations from the past. Great guest, great episode, great pod 💯

[@Jblain7]

Troy is underrated AF man thanks for having him on

[@Detroit313vsall]

This is the only podcast i truly tune in for every episode because ryan does a great a job allowing the guest to feel comfortable and be vulnerable. Truly the best podcast out there!

[@C.A.D.]

Troy's gonna be a guest on a lot more pods in the next year haha

[@KZ_MMA-KZ]

This dude is hilarious, he won me over very quickly lmao

[@pareja90210]

KZbin shorts made me aware of this dude. His heckler clips are hysterical

[@sahara5745]

Me too. The German lady 😂😂

[@arroyojoh]

Man I’ve seen this guy at Broadway comedy club every so often for years now, I’ve seen him improve as a comic and glad he’s getting on bigger platforms like the honeydew

[@darkmanbrian1]

glad to see troy on a pod without hecklers. most of what i see on reels or tiktok depict him as super angry. glad to see some shit from this dude in a chill enviroment because he is such a funny comedian

[@Macandfam]

Love you all! Im so happy i get to be apart of something like this pod and the people who love it as much as myself.

[@maria.maverick]

This came in the nick of time for me. As a fan of Troy’s, I’m always down to hear what he has to say. But hearing his life-story kinda hits home for me because I can relate to a few things. I self-harmed and struggles with an ED for 8 years. I also had a family member, an aunt, who came to live with us who fueled an addiction to pills for me. My uncle died in my teens. Covid was my downward spiral where things got bad. But I found mindfulness, meditation and The Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes. Oh, and Jeff Buckley. Tomorrow I celebrate 3 years free of self-harm. Listening to this inspires me. Thanks Ryan for having Troy on.

[@senaiss]

This pod went in every direction that I never expected it to, damn near every corner kept me on my toes and I loved every bit of it. Great pod episode!

[@MrZzombieee]

Ol boy is sweating during these drug stories lol. Flash backs. I still get the sweats thinking about those days

[@GrimeWorldOrder]

[@gregoryg8301]

man, i wish i had the recall trey has. he remembers so many details of his past. loved this episode

[@gabriellediann]

Trauma will do that. No in between. You remember vividly or it's suppressed.

[@bensonbenson8729]

This is now my favorite episode. Troy, thank you so very much for your stories. I will be looking forward to you coming to our city. Can't wait to see a whole show instead of the highlight real on insta.

[@kerrypetruzello]

I'm glad you are who you are Troy!! Keep it up,full throttle, man!!! Your friggin awesome!! This episode was sad, upsetting,just because I never knew all that shit!! GOD BLESS, STAY STRONG !! Lov ya,thx for doing this interview!! I saved it in my phone!! Favorite podcast interview,(even with all the people doing the podcast thing)I watch/ listen to BONDING,And this podcast is honestly not been on my thread for some reason,but, I will watch for some good interviews with you now!! Thanks guys!! That hr.flew by!!😂❤

[@1stTimeCaller]

Sickler seems so emotionally balanced. It’s inspirational.

[@fantasiafox22]

Let’s go Troy!! Love you Ryan Sickler! Thanks for having him on!

[@dylangrove635]

I was skeptical at first, but Troy is hilarious and quite brilliant. Love seeing comics not like burnt crystals

[@SuspiciousGanymede]

Troy burnt crystal when he was 15

[@deeorlando6536]

This whole episode is just laugh-talking lol. I love it. Such good energy.

[@dayneroman9162]

Troy Bond is like what if Pete Davidson was likeable.

[@jessicaalbarran7939]

right? I'm hoping he shows up in Waukegan [IL] soon-- [between Milwaukee & Chicago] /s was joking abt that Troy is in all his own category. I love his nerdiness jokes and I love how he doesn't take shit from anyone

[@jeremiahjohnson2519]

I thought I was the only one comparing to Davidson, maybe it's the way they talk.

[@yogijaya2897]

They are nothing alike. Troy Bond is so talented. I had 3 tickets to see him in Providence but had to stay in because my Man was murdered and I couldn't get outta my pajamas crying.

[@SunflowerDogs]

​@@yogijaya2897 Really vying for a place on the Honeydew, huh?

[@TSR1122]

Ryan Sickler just brings happiness to my day

[@LUXXY1984]

me to brother, have you watched ryans new podcast...first ep just dropped with tom segura

[@benholzer1649]

I dug his shorts and reels especially how he handles hecklers. Haven’t seen a full set by him yet but I must say, he’s way more humble and crazier than I assumed. Figured he was from the burbs, tried comedy and is lucky it is working out on TikTok. But I can tell he’s here to stay and Ryan is straight belly laughing. He approves for sure. I never finish comedy podcasts through, but I did on this one. Todd is a true life maniac! He was really out here. New fan over here, mr bond!

[@patrickdiaz3788]

Incredible episode! I admire the honesty.

[@chriswolfe7707]

Troy Bond's story and mine are similar in so many ways, this is therapy..

[@chrisknoblauch270]

This is the 1st time I have seen this guy and he isn't wasted.

[@mikeschneider9462]

It's wild how similar my uncle and his uncle were. Pretty much identical stories. I didn't start drugs cause of him but I did some with him. He also died from the Crack. I'm coming around 8 9 years sober off hard drugs. I still smoke weed.

[@noahspizza4003]

This was fucking FANTASTIC Ryan! Thank you for getting each other in this room and getting history recorded!!

[@jedipsy]

Been watching Troy for months now after KZbin Shorts started featuring him. Loved watchign this episode and going on such a WILD ride with y'all. Massive props to Sickler and the HoneyDew crew - you have been consistently pumping out quality content for years now and we love you for it!

[@kibacs2]

man hell yeah, shout out to Troy Bond. I wish I would've watched this episode 8 months ago. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@kingfrostxl]

lol that must've sucked sitting there and sweating your ass off while Ryan seems perfectly fine haha

[@auggielopez7822]

Troy is easily one of the best comedians out there

[@CheechElMexicano]

Glad to see Troy on the come up 🙏🏾

[@Macandfam]

I hope this blows him up. He will definitely get a lot of new followers from this for sure! Ill be one.

[@brokenspoke4149]

I’m so excited for this podcast. Ryan and Troy is going to be great!

[@philthytanks4952]

Damn, this went from hilarious to sad n deep just about at the 29 min mark

[@BrownGoddess209]

Im in love with Troy Bond and I found your podcast looking at his stuff..im so glad found you..i love stand up and i live in the Bay Area (Palo Alto) i go to all comedy shows when i can.. anyways im glad i found you..thank you in advance for making me laugh😘

I'm excited to see what's coming up for Troy. I told my husband about him a while ago. All the best!

I found Troy on KZbin Shorts & he's my newest Fav Stand-up. Stoked to see him here!

I hope Ryan gave him a shirt afterwards lmfaooo 😂😂😂

One of my favourite HoneyDew eps of all time. Love this young man ♥

This is an "on arrival must listen" for sure

[@endlessawareness]

He is like a cross between Pete Davidson & Logic!

[@ericvitale4647]

I just want to point out Sickler is wearing a jacket, and this kid is drownin’ in sweat. 😅

[@xMaGuSx888]

He has serious potential. His routine is really solid, it's not just his crowd work, although that is entering legend status at this point. He just needs a special at this point to get him over the hump. He should do what Sam Morril did and make his own and put it on youtube for free.

[@1treyton1]

I listened to this at work yesterday and laughed my ass off. Here I am at 8:44am the next day listening to it again and laughing even harder LOL Troy is fucking hilarious

[@cottonkeef5633]

Troy rules. I've seen his shorts for years, always liked him

Me seeing the thumbnail: isn't...that the Seinfeld look-a-like New York comedian?!!

Burr, CK and this podcast. Gets me every time.

[@mantistoboggan6053]

Holy shit, he started sweating so profusely when he started talking about his crack and coke days. Has anyone checked on Troy recently?

That’s just straight anxiety man.

[@fantasiafox22]

@@thestarchild7519you got it. He was just a lil nervous is all. To be expected!

[@yogijaya2897]

I can't talk about it without covering my ears and screaming.....it's hard listening to right now. I am so grateful to not be living like that anymore.

Hell yeah Ryan! Nice choice in guest invitation!!!

[@AaronHarver-dj4yq]

Man my brother got me into k2 at 15 and I inevitably got my friend group into it and that just kicked off a long and hard battle for all of us. I’m the only one of the group that managed to avoid jail although I’ve tried just about everything once and still struggle with opiates to this day. I luckily still have my life which I try to be thankful for daily. This one hit close to home but may the ones who didn’t make it through the battle rest easy. Happy Tuesday y’all

[@boofert.washington2499]

K2 gave me instant panic attacks. My buddy that was hooked on it got me to try it when I was out of weed. I only did it three times. That's when the trial run told me what was what lol. I do LSD a few times a year, and I take 300-450uG every time. That doesn't freak me out like a few tokes of K2 did. Crazy shit, man

[@zachielawless7035]

Yo man, I struggled with opiates for 20 years. I smoked k2 with my mom for a while but when she died of liver cancer because of drinking life got a lot tougher and the opiates and meth I hit a lot harder. I'm proud to say as of now I've been clean for 7 and a half months from everything and a lot better for it. It took long term rehabilitation for me. I'm living at a sober living right now. My son still has his dad though, I've got a lot better relationship with my dad, stepmom, and son's mother now and my career is taking off. Just saying things do get better. The pink cloud may go away but my worst day now is still better than my best day then. Keep hanging in there man, and find help if you can. No matter how you feel, I guarantee there's people that want you around. Make that happen. Keep your head up!

[@whodiewallace3502]

Aaron, stay strong and stay on the path. Troy is an inspiration

Took 5 or 6 years but low dose methadone, tapering off of that then low dose suboxone and now I have had any type of opiates in over a year (that includes methadone and suboxone) You can do it
