[@TheGlueMill]

One of the best episodes I’ve ever seen, here. Thanks to the both of you. I broke at the end with Ian’s advice to himself. Holy shit.

[@Madkalibyr]

Same here, crying now

[@tylerlopez1879]

"When you have full mouth of teeth and job, you are the king of Rehab", thats a line right there.

[@kaleighrothlisberger9153]

Seeing such a funny and joyful human like Ian get choked up really gets to ya 😢❤❤❤

[@TheDeadStretch]

That almost destroyed me. Damn.

[@H-Vox]

You can just see he's been smiling through pain for 30 years :/ So grateful that he shares his gift with the world

[@ThePersistentRumor]

This podcast is a public service. Having comedians talk about sad shit, is just genius.

[@raygreeko]

Listened yesterday on Spotify but figured I’d come drop a comment on here. Sickler, Been a fan of yours for years and some people might only be realizing how damn good you are as a podcast host. The Honey Dew is one of THE best podcasts out there. And Ian, man o man is this guy fucking great. Started listening to Bein Ian(with jordan) after I saw Ian on AYG and Kill Tony. The dude is fucking hilarious and I’ve become a big fan in a short period of time. You guys are hilarious and 2 of my favs for sure. Sickler when you coming to do some shows in NJ?

[@awill891]

Ian's the GOAT of AYG. That's how I found him as well.

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

“Some people” tbh that’s what he’s most known for at this point like I don’t listen to this show regularly but I knew he gets deep so when I heard Ian was on I had to check it out 😂

[@moasto02]

The one we've all been waiting for! I love Ian so much. You can tell he knows the program and he is seemingly incapable of pretension. He's a soul. A fucking soul out in the open for us.

[@victoralley708]

Weird

[@charlesbronson6129]

Ian was an incredible guest! Just when I was about to cry, he he would throw in a joke and crack me up! 👏👏👏

[@alazymonkey5716]

Damn. I've been growing more and more respect for Ian over the past few days; this one REALLY does it. Thanks as always for the amazing podcast Honeydew. What a great show

[@bodeezus]

Only podcast that is normal to make people tear up. This one is a gem🙌🏽

[@shistyvillain]

I love it! Ian is a one of a kind-type dude and their chemistry was great

[@flying_nimbus7852]

I like watching comedians i haven't really paid attention to on The Honeydew. Gives me a chance to find out about them and not judge them just on the comedy aspect of them. Thank you again for everything you and your team do Ryan. Glad you're healthier than before and glad you're in our lives.

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

If you don’t know Ian you don’t know cumtown and that’s just a cryn shame I tell ya what

[@justingagnier1394]

Boy over the last two weeks I’ve really gotten to know Ian a lot more and have watched as much as I can and he is just fantastic. He’s grown on me so much so quickly. What an episode man. This was phenomenal.

[@Lift805]

Love Ian…him on Are You Garbage are some classic pods 🔥 speaking of the AYG boys ..it would be awesome to see them on here!! 👏

[@tomsevcik1792]

Facts!

[@Betty-Boop809]

His STUFF ISLAND episode was so good…that phone call w/Lenny Dykstra 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@Hynzy57]

H Foley has stories for days

[@DemocracyJones]

They'd definitely have to be separate pods! Kippy and Foley would rip each other apart with insults the moment they feel the other one getting sincere about something lol

[@TheDeadStretch]

Sickler was on their pod during the Zoom days. It would be nice to get a proper Episode of AYG with Ryan and then them on The Honeydew.

[@nickrmccall]

Man, Ian sure knows how to tell a traumatic story and make it funny. Saw him open for attell a few months ago, looking forward to his special and hopefully catching him headlining in person.

[@teapartyjones7869]

This absolutely destroyed me I was choked up with tears the entire time. I have a sort of similar story with Ian but man the questions, the feelings, everything just hit so close to home. Thank you Ryan and Ian for making such an amazing episode.

[@tonywhitcomb244]

I love you even more now Ian. You’re a survivor! Thank you for bein Ian!

[@theramplocal]

I got fidanced bc j was expecting zany hilarity throughout, Ian got deep while still being zany and hilarious. Dude is so good

[@misun_808]

Ian Fidance is a phenomenal comedian who is super hilarious and all around standout person! He is a perfect guest on The Honey Dew! 🍈 Ian makes everything so funny and entertaining! This was one of the best episodes! Please have him back on! 😂 One of the best comics!

[@malicioustactics6846]

22:50-23:35 just hit me really hard. 2 weeks ago me and my mom found my brother dead in my bedroom from an overdose. A lot of family came out and yeah we mainly just kind of sat in silence the first couple days just in utter disbelief. The time stamp I put at the beginning of this is so accurate.

[@talliburr2893]

I just wanted to comment and say you’re not alone. I lost my brother a little over 12 years ago. I know you’re not asking for advice but I just wanted to share some of my experience and hopefully it helps someone. In my own process, I learned how important it is to talk about my feelings about the loss. The anger, the sadness, the pain, everything. I learned that it’s okay to let myself grieve and feel the things I need to. There isn’t a right way to grieve, it’s just about letting oneself feel what you need to feel and knowing that it’s okay to do so. Hang in there, and know that it’s okay to feel whatever you’re feeling right now. and I’m tremendously sorry for your loss. I know it isn’t easy.

[@connorgarvin]

Ryan, about to go through my first major medical procedure as an adult and just wanted to let you know as I gear up for it, I’m keeping you and everything going on with you in mind. You’re an inspiration. Thank you for everything you do, looking forward to highlighting the lowlights during recovery with my disabilibuddy. Love y’all.

[@TheIsaeldelgadojaime]

Good luck brother May everything work out in your favor!! Godspeed

[@Lebowski333]

May the wind be at your back and the sun upon your face. Wishing you well bro

[@father3dollarbill]

Good luck, bro.

[@AntLong110]

Good luck and enjoy the rest!

[@jamesgilmore69]

Surgery on Mondee Recovery on Teusdee 💚

[@corydavis2765]

Ian is an amazing person, he’s so lovable and honest. Ugh Ryan knocked yet another interview out of the park. Fantastic episode.

[@sarac1118]

Ian is fucking hilarious. Him and Jordan are so funny together. Each of them on Stuff Island is just so funny. I’m proud of Ian. He’s come a long way from begging to be on RAP. Hope he keeps it up!

[@tylerlopez1879]

Ive seen Ian before but never caught his backstory, explains his wildness.

[@simonfea2]

The first mention, by Ian, of the word wail teared me up. He talked of that memory so clearly that I felt like I was there. First time ever on Honeydew, and there have been some terrible stories told on this podcast!

[@cobwashington]

That 'better help' ad break around the 30 min mark made me laugh so loud I think I woke the neighbors up!

[@ericbasora4697]

Im so sorry Ian. Im fighting back crying at this very moment.

[@ZenoSama_]

I love Sicklers pod so much. But at the same time hate it cuz I’m out here getting teary eyed at work lol.

[@janeandkieran]

Cousin Ian on The Honeydew?! Light up a heater cuz its gon be a ride

[@janeandkieran]

Needa get the AYG boys on here, idk if they'd be open to getting deep but they got stories to tell for sure

[@stonecoldsteve_hogsten]

I absolutely weeped. Growing up without a dad and in constant fear of losing my mother...this absolutely hit home so hard. Love you Ian and Ryan. Thank you so much for putting this out there for free.

[@JoshRange]

Ian is my spirit animal. Those leg tattoos are dope!!

[@MizDomiguez]

Ian's hurt is palpable. Such a heart breaking story. Half way through and crying. This is one of the greatest episodes. Love Ian and Ryan 💙💙💙

[@jencook3287]

I really needed this.. from sad to happy and everything in between~ this podcast is truly the best medicine!!❤

[@inFiniteTraCer]

Ian is one-of-a-kind dude! Always killing it on the big pods these days.

[@iHaveAnEyedea]

Wow, so moving. Beautiful ep.

[@Hynzy57]

Damn Ian. Made me tear up at the end. Love you buddy

[@Petrichords]

Gotta proofread everything before pulling the upload trigger. Love the show though! ❤😂

[@miramirez3574]

I think we gotta tell em misspelled guests' last name. Huge fan

[@ladyloud8796]

Ryan, I adore you. You’re a genuine listener with a curious soul. Your laugh is so contagious and your humanity is so thoughtful and sweet. Much love, man. You’re a real one.

[@bobvalentino3710]

I’ll never forget Ian on Kill Tony screaming, “Get the fuck out of here, Malamud!” I immediately became a fan.

[@Madkalibyr]

Youve got me crying in these last moments of the pod, my mother passed suddenly a couple of years ago and it’s still difficult to hear others stories about death and missing loved ones but wow, Ian you are a wonderful,wonderful person ❤

[@Craig_Ewan]

As a 37 year old who lost his father unexpectedly at the age of 67 in 2018 this episode really hit home for me. I never knew Ian's backstory but had a similar road myself dealing with addiction and self-harm. I do find dark humour and comedy as an outlet for me and my family in daily life interactions and has always been our go to. Love this type of content Ryan! Hope you're well and keep kicking ass. Much Love

[@cdawayiam]

sorry for your loss man, i am 35 and cant even imagine losing my father that early! It wont ever truly heal but it will get easier to get through the days!

[@Craig_Ewan]

@@cdawayiam Thanks Frank. Much Love ✌🏻

[@BloodyBobJr]

Sometimes I feel like I wanna suplex my dad through a table, but the fact I've had one for 36 years is something easy to take for granted. I forget to be grateful I've had my parents around so long when others didn't. Ian and Ryan losing their dads so early is so difficult and I'm glad they found some sense of peace. Both of these chuckle heads make us smile

[@JustHi3132]

Ian's voice is like 50% nick swardson 50% duncan trussel

[@kirkwarmack]

Never seen a better guest for The Honey Dew! Wow! What a fucking roller coaster! Great Ep!

[@PwnerforhighER]

Ian's the fucking man. I needed to hear the "next time it'll be different" part about alcohol at the end. I've been off the sauce for a couple months now and was thinking about returning, now I think I'll pass.

[@megatron1379]

Found Sickler from Skanks, I'm a fan now. Good stuff, sir

[@benzoindigo1109]

What a great episode. Ian is a riot. Would love to hear more about his music taste. P.s. Please get Matt McCusker on the Dew!!!

[@johnscarce4557]

FIDANC

[@lordfordification]

In the hospital, day 2, back injury, nerve damage. Ian was built for this show.

[@Ace21ization]

The second I see Ian, I click.

[@GregoryFrancisDrive]

Naltrexone is a life saver. More people need to know about it for alcohol. My story is very similar to yours Ian. Great ep thanks for sharing. 59:40

[@only_son5040]

I really empathized with y'all about losing your only parent. My mother died in front of my when I was 6 so I always worried about my dad dying. I'll be 40 this year and am very grateful to still have my dad.

[@loganthompson9144]

This is the best episode EVER on Honeydew!.... besides the Joey Diaz Chronicles! Which we need a new episode!!!

[@r_morts4384]

Love Ian SO much!!! ❤❤❤

[@K-A5]

Never heard of this guy but he had me at "strap in, we're going on a journey!" 🙃 I loved listening to him, Im sorry hes had such a lot of hardship. He made me laugh so much in this ep. Have him back soon!

[@richardgilson2883]

Amazing episode. ❤

[@catshortcake]

I love Ian! Super hilarious and just a good guy!

[@ms.l3392]

I am crying at the end of this with the journal entries and whatnot . It really feels like his father is living on with Ian and is part of him . Amazing episode

[@BPH55]

The guest we’ve all been waiting for!!!! It ain’t easy bein Ian.

[@ash-jy3qm]

We pretty much NEED a pt2 of this one!!!!

[@H-Vox]

Absolutely

[@nooneyouknow699]

This definitely explains how he relapsed with hand sanitizer on a bus

[@GathererThompson]

When a guy chooses to wear the organic version of those old disguise-glasses with the attached nose and mustache, you know they're a great time.

[@joshlevy9462]

Great episode, definitely in the Honeydew Hall of fame

[@dot_t]

I love you Ian! I watch Bein' Ian w/Jordan too... your positivity and silliness is so unique and beautiful! Keep doing what you do, you deserve all the best dude. I am happy for you! ❤️✨

[@miamisdreadpirateroberts369]

I use to hate this gayyyyyy so much. But then I realized I saw something within him that I don't like about myself. Over came that and now can't get enough....oh yea he cream pied me while he was down in miami lolz love you fools!!!!

[@Dirtyjoe_13]

I fuckin love Ian Fidance 😂 alway hilarious but he really had me dying on this one 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Rootbeeroverseer]

"Dry Drunk" is the term @1:00:50. This is hands down my favorite episode, next to Joey's stuff. God damn Ian you're a beast!

[@lucyabate9504]

great episode, way to go Ian!

[@Deiseblack]

Really great interview

[@nolanthornton9851]

One of the best podcast episodes I’ve ever seen!! Shoutout Sickler and shoutout Ian!!!

[@jermus]

Thank you 🙏

[@mooose106]

I've of Ian's best appearances

[@stevewalker2912]

After listening to this, I’ve become a hug Ian fan.

[@angelial10]

2 of the best Vibes in comedy together!💓💫

[@crossingofblood8579]

Ian is the best. Saw him and Attell at the Pittsburgh improv. Legendary.

[@wanderingmirecat4333]

I made it through the whole thing without a tear until Ian’s advice to himself. Love him even more after hearing more of his story.

[@tamarahuddleston7292]

Idk why they don't give Suboxone or naltrexone to more people, but I do know in rehab or aa and na they tried saying that wasn't true soberity but it's what saved my life and got me to where I am today. I'm glad I finally got to hear Ian's story, I've been sober for 5 years but hearing someone's testimony Always brings me to the realization of how far I've come.

[@Z-pizzle23]

Episodes like this are why I watch the honeydew! I've seen Ian on about 3 or 4 different pods the past couple weeks n none of those appearances had the effect this 1 episode of the honeydew has had, im such a fan of his now, great episode Sickler

[@theramplocal]

Delaware Den's Ian fidance! You just got fidanced!

[@jakezarlingo3315]

I this was absolutely incredible. Great stories and perspective. Life’s tough, we all gotta be a little nicer to ourselves. Thanks Ian.

[@clkallday]

This episode the epitome of the pod. Highlighting the lowlights to the max. Host and guest vibing hard!

[@ThatDylanStewart]

Listened to this the day it came out on Spotify. I never leave comments but man this was an incredible episode.

[@zachofall]

The crabfeast is the greatest podcast in history. Wish I could have seen videos of those episodes

[@chokeonnosebleed]

So fuckimg pumped for this one! Ian's such a great comic and person. It was awesome meeting him in CT. Welcome to the HoneyDew!

[@esoteric_erica]

I'm crying in my oatmeal. Ian is so fun to watch and I'm grateful for this episode as I'm battling being angry over losing my little brother recently. I also think his story about his premonition at that age is very interesting !

[@mydudechris]

YOU JUST GOT FIDANCED

[@radtothebone23]

Wow he got those tattoos fast

[@BryceLK]

I think Alcoholic Ian Fidance may have been the Moon Knight.

[@projektmanlwc9936]

This is FUCKING AWESOME!! Man Ian, you're the shit dude.

[@tomsevcik1792]

Gay for God is such a clever line lmaooo. That should actually be on a shirt!!

[@MelancholicFools]

@ikea hey I’m missing a couple of wood panels for this cabinet, some screws, and oh yeah, I miss my dad too

[@MelancholicFools]

@ianimal69

[@phizer-xk8ip]

Wow, this one caught me by surprise 😅

[@cwdatb]

Awesome episode! Ian is amazing!

[@Straytmusic3]

[@WhiskeyRitalin]

Ian is the best. We need Sickler on Dadmeat and/or Stonerdadz. Shout out Butterly

[@robynhall3347]

Looooove Ian. Bi sexual icon 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Sickels634]

My favorite episode ❤❤❤❤❤

[@_m_m4]

Ian is the best, and a perfect honey dew guest! Does this mean we might get Zac Amico coming to do the dew in the future, as well?❤

[@CH-ml4rz]

Def wanna see more GaS universe people on here!

[@John-su6ct]

Remember the gag glasses that had the nose and mustache attached. Thats what this guy looks like when you put them on.

[@agirlnamedaaron4848]

Man, this was both funny and deep. Great episode. 💚

[@katelynr7836]

Great episode!! Ian is so funny 😂

[@jasonjohnson5929]

93 days sober working the program It life or death for me cool to listen to some one who can relate

[@CH-ml4rz]
