HoneyDew Podcast #54 | Dan Soder

[@WesMoran]

It’s an old podcast to comment on, but damn this conversation touches a bunch of triggers…but as a man with a bunch of unresolved trauma, just trying to push through life; and knowing that a lot of men just choke these things down and try to “walk it off”, it means a lot to hear two guys that lived through their own trauma discuss taking it on, and seeking therapy to try to help themselves through what happened.

[@Cazman819]

This will probably ping you again. Watch this episode again. This shit was fucking amazing. I loved every second of this episode.

[@IloveGorgeousGeorge]

Sickler is such a genuine dude. Seems like the sweetest guy in comedy

[@jeremywillard8312]

I haven’t cried and laughed watching a podcast before but this is making me consider therapy. Dan is the best. Such a genuine hilarious guy. One of my favorites.

[@phl_knives]

This was such an incredible interview, honeydew is becoming a favorite. To hear Dan and Ryan talking about these things that many of us avoid thinking about helps others understand they aren't alone thier struggles. I did the chain smoking, angry and avoiding help until the most important person in my life said you're in a bad place, please talk to someone. 5 years ago things changed for me, a quality trauma therapist and loads of effort, I came out the other side. Hearing these guys talk about the things they're talking about is such a postive thing. Thank you for this.

[@adamgula11]

One of the best honeydew I've ever heard. Dan is the man!

[@SpacersChoice]

Dan Soder at Studio Jeans? I hope to see him on YMH someday

[@anthonyj6863]

It'll come he's blowing up rn. Hes been getting better and better super quick

[@noahharrington8883]

I'VE SAID THIS SO MANY TIMES. He's such a silly, fun personality he'd be so good watching tik toks and clips

[@giantasparagus]

@@noahharrington8883 I enjoy Dan because he doesnt do that trash.

[@a.r.c582]

He’s been on before, but years ago

[@shlobodon]

his woke Rodney Dangerfield character is genius

[@kevinl3254]

Real shit. Hearing Ryan talk about his experiences after his daughter almost got hit by a car made me realize that I've been having the same experiences ever since I had to save my son from drowning last summer. This podcast means alot to so many people. Keep it up

[@jxalmada66]

Lost my dad about a 1.5 months ago. This was very cathartic!!!

[@briand1228]

Sorry to hear that man. Definitely the right podcast to watch

[@marsupial22]

jxa66 all the best to you buddy. You’re living.

[@lokomike2911]

Sorry for your loss bro. I lost my dad last January i miss him every day.

[@dma3932]

Sorry to hear about your father bro. I hope things are better now, 2 yrs later.

[@DesertDawg-oq5fg]

22:15 look how excited he got about playing Gin Rummy with his 92 year old grandma. Dan is a great dude

[@tabularasa820]

“My Dad lost custody but won the Super Bowl.”

[@stoddystod]

I lost my best friend 3 weeks ago he was like a brother and I've been on a Soder podcast binge before I came across this one, just wanna say listening to you 2 discuss grief helped me come to terms with dealing with it as well

[@gaelk2301]

Man Dan Soder is really blowing up! This was a great conversation, I relate. My life was turned upside down at 16. My Vietnam bipolar/alcoholic war vet of a father had already died at 7, and my mom worked really hard to move my brother and I and make our lives better. Then my brother started to act worse. And one day home alone the FEDs raided my house because of him. That among other things crazy shit that caused trauma. And it hasn't been until the past few years that I worked out , rather working out issues with anxiety, projecting, fears. And how I relate to the world, others and myself. That's why I have such a pure love for comedy, it made some terrible moments not so terrible. Thank you! You both are hilarious, I'm so happy for both of you!

[@KEVINHOMIE]

Gael K it gets better!

[@ML-ti7zr]

I appreciate the realness in this episode. I hope y'all two become best friends after this episode. As a guy, I really appreciate seeing dudes being vulnerable and talk openly about these things.

[@bradchaney3641]

Two of my favorite story tellers together. Maybe my favorite episode ever.

My favorite episode and that’s saying a lot.

Why don’t I strap on my friend helmet and squeeze down into a friend cannon and fire off into friend land where friends grow on friendies

[@butch2811]

Man I love Sickler more and more each episode, he's like a kickass uncle. Love his humbleness. And Dan has a really soothing voice lol.

[@jaywalter5491]

soothing? I hear soder and im waiting for him to tell me to put the lotion in the basket

[@corydavis2765]

Dan Soder really is the golden retriever of comedy. Love that guy.

[@sarahmcdevitt6000]

I've been waiting for Soder to get into Studio Jeans for a minute. Today is a good day

[@kerimcdonald3115]

This episode helped me so much today. Between 16-18 I lost 4 family members with two of them being my parents. It's been 20 years now and I still struggle at times. I've never been to any therapy but wish I could afford to. It's hard to not go in to panic/protection mode at times and then you have relive a lot of feelings you want to get away from.

[@shaunm1983]

There's videos of the emrd thing on KZbin. Might be worth a try

[@Russell_Jackson]

Crackle crackle!

[@smeennu]

"Yea, fievel the mouse where you from?" Dan Soder is so god damned quick and funny. Damn man.

[@NOTTodayPal5150]

I laughed and cried. Love this show!!!

[@danielsparano]

His message to his 16-year old self got me. Go in the backyard, light up a cigarette, throw the tennis ball for the dog. Good reminder to live in the moment and enjoy the little things. God I love the HoneyDew.

[@fantabulousdave]

This was absolutely amazing. Dan Soder really spoke to me in ways I never thought I would hear. Thank you Ryan Sickler!!!

[@kurtstout1060]

Dan sober you can't believe how much this chat helped me.. big bonfire fan. Nice to see you open up more on a personal level. Thank you

I’m sorry the 9 dislikes are having a bad day, we all have those honeydew moments. #leaveitonthetable

[@rebelleparrish4937]

My mom hated videos so i dont have anything with her moving or talking. She died in march in a fire my dad accidently started. He has dementia, so that was also a surprise...and i have a sister they adopted as an adult a decade ago but never told me. Thank you for this episode. Ive been struggling the past few weeks with the holidays and this really helped me put things in a different light. Thanks! Keep being funny with the dark. Notre dame burned a few weeks after mom and my sister and i joked that at least we knew where our dad was (the Home)

[@John-tv6ii]

Crackle Crackle! Great show, great guest. Love the podcast Ryan. I listen all the time alongside Bonfire, 2bears, Whiskey Ginger, and Tuesdays w/stories. You're one of the best Sickler!

[@DT61636]

Thank you for having this conversation. It's not easy to be open about our trauma and experiences, especially as men.

[@SomethingGamecatAdjacent]

Was watching before work and had to pause to leave.. now that im home i came right back to tbe same screen w this tab open and im so happy :D

Its like the BonDew gods got it right

[@noahharrington8883]

Dan has such a refreshing and real take on therapy. Feels super relatable

41:27 _"There's a lot of lonely people in this world and they listen to podcasts and they listen to radio shows and they get attached to people and it's not a real relationship. It's something that they project because they're lonely."_ - Dan Soder Damn, that kinda stung LOL

[@jasonyount6036]

This is really a great podcast man. Ryan gets so much out of his guests. Love it.

[@cassied257]

Two of my absolute favorite people in the most heartbreaking and inspiring podcast ever. 😭❤️

[@AmandaBurns14]

Just watched this episode, catching up on The Dew - made me laugh and cry. I related to both of their stores of losing loved ones. Can't thank Ryan Sickler enough for this podcast of highlighting the lowlights of life!

[@johnnyangusmusic]

We need more of these. I love you both and grew up similarly, this one hit close to home. Thanks so much sickle cell!

[@austinarnold155]

Wow, what a fantastic episode. I could have listened forever. Dan has to come back on.

[@beanballshazam]

I’m coming back from Armageddon a couple months after this. Soder left bonfire and I’ve been through some shit. Beyond this stuff that creeps back in. I watched this 3 years ago didn’t really listen. But now I rehear it. It takes me back to that time before when I needed it.

glad i finally watched this, lost my brother two years ago murdered by a "friend". only humor gets you through those dark times

[@joshuabowman4283]

Don't know how you did it Dan and Sickler but this one really hit me in the feels. The part where you talked about being a teenager and sealing the trauma away when you really have to tear everything out and work through it. I'm 26 and I'm going through exactly what you talked about.

[@nonoahhh]

Thank you Dan for sharing. Shout out to big J for showing me the soda soder

[@80brax04]

At 15 I woke up completely paralyzed,on a ventilator,inside an MRI with zero clue where I was or what was going on.Literally what came to my mind was that I had been abducted by aliens and they were using me for a battery and I was almost completely drained of my energy which explained (in my head) why I couldn't move or speak.100% convinced myself of that until they pulled me out.Then I spent the next year and a half learning how to crawl, stand,walk, and use my hands again.Instead of making me bitter or angry about missing out on highschool, what my friends were out doing,it just made me extremely greatful and just happy to be alive and able to talk.It made me appreciate the smallest of actions on a ridiculously high level.Because when I was paralyzed,on a ventilator,no way to communicate and my balls itched and I couldn't scratch them or tell anyone to and just laying there screaming in my head made me realize instantly how awesome it is just to scratch my balls whenever I needed to.Some horrible life experiences turn you bitter and some just make you extremely happy to just be here walking and talking.IDGAF about much... just insanely happy just to still be here.

[@steelydan867]

This was a great discussion between two funny, grounded guys. We need more of this. And, yes, Dan needs to go on YMH and the Church...

He was on the church a few weeks ago. Check it out
