[@travismiller6076]

Brother… when you got dates in Pittsburgh

[@johnhchgo]

Sickler is a professional talker, but probably a better professional listener. This podcast is constantly funny, sad and engaging

[@Rosemary-up1ql]

Loved Nick since he was a great kid.

[@Fellstrike]

Ryan: "Can you imagine if I just talked the whole time? What kind of episode would that be?" Any of Bert's podcasts🤣

[@frankdtank7444]

Nick may not be a comedian but he is legit funny, as well smart, humble, and engaging. Great podcast guest on The Honeydew and YMH.

[@lacefacethegreat]

I'm only 16:00 in and I fucking love everything about this episode. Nick Simmons is so down to earth and humble even though his dad is one of the biggest rockstars in the world he's just a dude you can go have a beer with and have an actual good time. Great episode this week Sickler!

[@clevermissfox]

I'm just starting to so idk how much overlap there is but he rocked on dr drew after dark and where my moms at!! He's a true ymh and comedy fan!

[@janeflip1]

Kiss your mother with that mouth?

[@janeandkieran]

When i saw him with the Main Mommy i knew hed be perfect for the honeydew, so excited to see more of Nick!

[@djspynz]

As someone who didn’t watch the reality tv show but a huge comedy fan, Nick has made me a fan of his because he is also a fan and a guy who gets comedy. He is grounded in a perfect way. Great podcast and guest. Nick has a supporter for whatever he does now.

[@barbarabrooker2502]

Adore Nick Simmons. Love his voice. his talent. A great person.

[@lk_c7214]

Nick seems like such a good guy. I’m not a KISS fan, but I really like their family unit and watched their show back in the day. I totally remember his mom doing press for the show right after the affair drama came out; she did not bother to hide how pissed she was at Gene during interviews and had no issue telling people why. To his credit, Gene took the heat like he should’ve, and it seems they came out of it all ok since they’re still together today! 😊

[@Macandfam]

HEEEEEY night pants family! Hope everyone is awesome and had a great thanksgiving! I love you all!

[@shaveychest]

I hope yours was great as well. I love you too

[@Macandfam]

@@shaveychest today was awesome tbh thank you

[@timmybegley7696]

Ryan is a professional Laugher. Love laughing with him when the stories have that nugget of funny that makes you LOL.

[@janetpartyka5968]

I like how Nick talks about his therapist like he's talking about the mailman. That is so healthy. He seems like a really good young man.

[@8656737s]

He's hilarious and so down to earth. I just love this guy ❤️

[@YourFriendly8]

Ryan’s ability to tune in to every guest differently is just so amazing! 🎉 honeydew rocks!

[@stephaniehalloran4447]

I love Nick's voice he should do a sleep story. 😆

[@spacehead74]

A NO sleep story would be epic.

[@travismiller6076]

Ohhh I think Stephanie is on to something.

[@pennycoyote3855]

...yeppp with that silk sounds oozing out. Radio. Children stories. love sonnet lullabies 😊

[@Filiolus]

What a fantastic episode, he's a great guest and a humble fella to boot.

[@kellybode4812]

Nick is such a nice, normal young man.Not your typical Hollyweird Brat! Good episode! Ryan please come to Lancaster Pa/ Hershey Pa.,i would love to see your show.!🧡🤎🤘

[@jodavid2965]

Nick is always wonderful to watch and listen to !!! So honest ❤

[@AnthonySal]

This was a really fascinating podcast! I always love being able to hear from the kids of absolute mega stars. Nick seems like such a down to earth dude. They clearly did a really good job raising him to be a normal humble guy which is really tricky to do when you’re the child to again, a mega star. Really cool to see. Great podcast as always Ryan.

[@squishytofu7822]

This man seems vaguely broken but soo well grounded.

[@johnhchgo]

Best opening question in an interview ever.

[@orion428]

I want to give props to Nick for coming on here and talking about some difficult things, especially his sweating issue. I have had that problem all my life. Atleast now at 34 I don't care what people think as much, but as a kid, it was torture, especially during the summer. I convinced my mom to get checked out. 2 different doctors basically laughed at me n said I'm fine and just over-think things. There are so many triggers for it, not just social anxiety. If I could give advice to my 16 yr old self, I'd tell myself to not think about "fixing" my sweating problem, accept it, and think about life after high school. Life isn't that bad

[@robertbakewell5429]

Another great episode Ryan. Keep them coming. 4 strokes!

[@emmapataialii8631]

This lad is my kind of people! I've watched him on the whole family's podcasts

[@stucerocks]

Nick has always been witty, smart, funny and charming.

[@travismiller6076]

The thing about Ryan is this… he is very disarming. He’s very relatable to all his guests. I can appreciate all his guests and podcasts. Well done sir. Keep up the good work.

[@BaconNMegs]

Oh my God I used to watch Gene Simmons family jewels all the time and had the biggest crush on Nick lol this is a podcast I had no idea I needed lol

[@D-Fens_1632]

Thank god, I was almost about to watch his dad on Maher, would much rather watch this.

[@simonfea2]

I enjoy that Nick likes his parents, thats rare. Gene seems like a lot to me.

[@boglot]

I was not expecting Gene Simmons’ son to be the Honeydew guest I could relate to the most. He has to come back for round 2

[@agentmom0]

I had a huge crush on him back when the show came out and nothing has changed 😅

[@bodeezus]

Great episode! Was surprised he didn’t know about Ryan’s dad since he made it sound like he was a big fan😂

[@AmericanMe]

Yep listening to stand up while being on your is the best way to pass time 100%

[@juliehinkel608]

Very impressive young man. You do have to give a ton of credit to his parents for their grounding their children.

[@onizuka10087]

This was absolutely awesome! So fucking good! Love ya Sickler! And Nick you da bomb!

[@Pscotto]

Nick is great. Nice to see he's not a douche like a lot of famous peoples kids.

[@spencerstracke92]

Like his dad

[@nf616]

This was so great as always!

[@buckcherrygirl]

Love, love this episode. The vibe between you two is perfect !!

[@deborahbaker4770]

He’s probably just one of the few whose parent’s actually gave him the money he made being on the show he has great role model’s for parent’s 👍🏻

[@georgieboy_htown4eva4eva]

What's good, happy Toosdee! This should be fun with Nick.

[@coachsaldana5708]

Kiss out the make up on in 1996. That was the Reunion Tour. They opened that tour at Tiger Stadium in Detroit Rock City! Not at the Garden. I was there. Helicopters coming in as the show starts. So great.

[@thomholio]

This was dope! Sickler said “anonymity”!

[@Juskle7]

Nick should narrirate books. He has a good speaking voice

[@pennycoyote3855]

....sick lure /high e naa laughing mongoose, pleased ta meet ya. Little Nicky, you gotta smooth sound/reading children stories and such much more 4 U keep rockin' itt steady❤🎉❤😊luv on ya kid

[@franjustor2423]

Nick is such an interesting guest and well spoken.

[@Sunnysunshine208]

Nick you are a great guy. Don’t know how you put up with this guy.

[@traceyneeb9290]

Like Nick. He's quirky and smart and well spoken. Wish him well.

[@amberhuff9810]

I had/have the same sweating problem. I know your pain!!

[@keithymg]

Holy cow, what a normal down to earth dude. I have heard nothing but bad things about gene Simmons but he can raise a kid and sickler n tom seem to like him. What a guest, hope he does 2 bears and YMH.

[@jayjason2517]

Maybe Nick can convince his dad to do the Honeydew. I've seen Gene do Howie Mandel and Bill Maher's podcasts.

[@wolf83a]

Another great interview with Nick! Side note: I'm predicting that Nick is the "Can I talk to you PLEASE girl?" guy from YMH. Either a deep fake version or some sort of CGI avatar haha

[@alexismcaloon8269]

Nick is a real mommy. True cat eating kibbles in a bowl whenever he appears.

[@allanjim3]

Nice job Nick Simmons!

[@lizl2432]

I love Nick he’s had this same great sense of humor, sarcastic personality on the show as he does today. He reminds me a lot of my brother, just a great genuine personality and very charming.

[@JoDough]

Loved the stand up batman reference. I've been wondering who that was for years

[@AndrewMorton116]

Love this podcast. Best host on the internet!

[@tannerburke13]

I’ve been waiting for this one!

[@Rosemary-up1ql]

What a voice. Same as a kid

[@Taink12]

Amazing episode

[@Dee-jq2ob]

He really looks like his dad, but am shocked at the grey hair showing, man I am old 😂

[@zaleejerporteze3317]

I remember this is the guy that straight up ripped off Bleach in his comic book Incarnate.

[@chrissmith5563]

Nicks gotta be a homeless cat with his knowledge of comedy. No doubt. Maybe CEO

[@SolidRollin]

That KISS concert with 311 opening for them was in 1996.

[@psychUHdelia]

Welcome BACK to the HONEYDEW yall!

[@the_OG_OG]

Nick is a spectacular guest! Can't wait to listen

[@williammartin4368]

From family jewels to now wow where that grey hair come from I feel old lol

[@MM-zs7rp]

The key to good tasting honeydew is the whiter flesh, the bright green looks better but the white is super yummy and sweet. For the record cause my kid loves it and I had to figure out what was the *good* one

[@granttabisreviews7696]

One of the best interviews since Jeremiah Watkins

[@TheKaleighWelch]

Nicks voice is butter lol

Man this guy is like Nick Cannon of the YMH family 😆

How?

[@PBCPrincess1]

@@patches07 he gets AROUND. He’s slept and had kids with everyone. Christina, Dr. Drew and now Ryan. Danny Brown is keeping it on the DL but this guy has already bragged to Ryan that Tom and he text (probably about visitation). 😆😆

Am I losing my mind or is this a repost

I don't get the hate on honey dew either dood as long as it's ripe it's good to go.

The reason the green honeydew are left behind is because ripe honeydew is white. And it's delicious.
