HoneyDew Podcast

[@tylerlopez1879]

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

[@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

[@ThePersistentRumor]

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

[@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

[@cobwashington]

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

[@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.

[@bodeezus]

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

[@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

[@charlesbronson6129]

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

[@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

[@shistyvillain]

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

[@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.

[@BrawlRobloxAndGo]

Good luck and enjoy the rest!

[@jamesgilmore69]

Surgery on Mondee Recovery on Teusdee 💚

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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 💙💙💙

[@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.

[@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

[@clkallday]

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

[@nolanthornton9851]

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

[@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!

[@jencook3287]

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

[@Dirtyjoe_13]

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

[@inFiniteTraCer]

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

[@corydavis2765]

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

[@bobvalentino3710]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@iHaveAnEyedea]

Wow, so moving. Beautiful ep.

[@randallguidry3624]

God damn. I'm fighting through sobriety now and have had a hard life and this episode made me cry. Thank you guys.

[@MsGhost87]

Ian is a new comic (to me) I just found a month ago. He is such a sweetheart ❤ I can't get enough of him! Hearing him explain the morning his Dad died was heartbreaking 💔 I'm glad he has such great humor that he shares with all of us complete strangers!

[@BPH55]

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

[@West-Coast-Climbing]

Wow this is one of the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. Ian’s story is quite inspiring. Thank you Ryan for the great show!

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@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.

[@kirkwarmack]

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

[@andrewhart6200]

As a survivor of similar circumstances...we lost so so so many friends along the way - I just wish we could say something to help people understand what we went through and help bring true light to the failure of the drug policy in this country...tragic...glad you made it! Jesus some of these questions that you got about your Father - It reminds me of Artie Lange's story kind of ya know? Tragedy!

[@Kieran1102]

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

[@Kieran1102]

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

[@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

[@zachofall]

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

[@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.

[@ericbasora4697]

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

[@catshortcake]

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

[@stevewalker2912]

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

[@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!

[@jakezarlingo3315]

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

[@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!

[@rachelcassandra9]

We love Ian!! ❤

[@joshlevy9462]

Great episode, definitely in the Honeydew Hall of fame

[@franciscovega2042]

I'd like to hear more from Ian.

[@unitedstatesofanericka4315]

This will be my starter episode to tell people how healing and awesome honeydew can be xx long time fan of both, thank you Ryan for getting Ian on xx

[@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 ❤

[@KR-ug7xm]

Fellow former sXe here, I bowed out in 2020 at 40 something, but still 99% edge. It does help you find a community when you really needed it the most. True til 43 🤣 Makes total sense why Ian found it. Great episode!

[@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!

[@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

[@ThatDylanStewart]

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

[@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 !

[@christianmorales43]

Thank you Ian! It takes a lot of strength to be honest with ourselves and you make it look easy

[@on-lineworldwide9267]

WOW!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ what a phenomenal episode. Amazing guest! Thx you to everyone involved in the making 🙌🏽

[@bangUwitApickle]

Perfect timing on the better help ad

[@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.

[@tylerlopez1879]

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

[@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.

[@JoshRange]

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

[@yanaysova5782]

Amazing! Thank you Ryan and Ian!

[@Brazileiro-]

U got a new fan ian. Respect the struggle as honesty.

[@TheDeadStretch]

Ian has made me laugh so much for many many hours. This is the first time he's ever made me cry.

[@txtacos817-3]

Ian being Ian makes a lot of sense now thank you for sharing

[@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.

[@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 ✌🏻

[@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.

[@meghanlynn10]

Best ep ever!

[@Hynzy57]

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

[@teresawright4748]

LOVE YOU IAN!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@jasonjohnson5929]

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

[@CH-ml4rz]

🤝 you got this

[@Sickels634]

My favorite episode ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jasminemoorehead9710]

The end of this show is giving me goose bumps and tearing up. I need a tear rag.

[@CoryHatfield]

I love Ian so much. He's such a good dude.

[@joeymclemore6623]

Two of my faves. Second listen and still amazed at how funny Ian can be telling his story.

[@lordfordification]

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

[@loganrutledge3610]

I’ve seen both of y’all do standup, Sickle in Indy and Ian in Brooklyn and goddamn I love you both so much! (I ran solo deep playa) I’ve been sober for 8.5 years and I totally relate to Ian’s experience. Much love to you both!💜

[@chrissavage8346]

Ian is THE BEST! Such a funny dude.

[@tskeets84]

I've been waiting for this episode forever and it more than delivered possibly one of the best dews yet!!

[@Trixmegistus]

This podcast hit home w me. Lost my mom two years ago and didn't know anyone who had went through the same thing as me. All the shes in a better place would be so annoying to hear. I also hear my mom when I laugh really hard or do something that she would've done or said. Great podcast

[@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

[@k.c.simonsen2]

Ian talking about having the opportunity to release his emotions when he got to the bottom of a bottle is exactly what I've said about my drinking, I'm glad someone else had the same thought/realization.

[@agirlnamedaaron4848]

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

[@klairemetcalfe1805]

Cannot get enough of Ian! Love this guy

[@grampageoff]

So cool to see Ian blowing up. Great episode!

[@Stephanie1974]

Tellin jokes and havin 🚬. I love Ian.

[@__Gw]

Wish you peace and happiness Ian

[@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!!!

[@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! ❤️✨

[@mohamedamine7610]

Ian is the best, he's gonna become a comedy legend.. great ep

[@scottysupermoto69]

Had to come from spotify to drop a like and a comment for the love of the show. Top notch

[@loganthompson9144]

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

[@katelynr7836]

Great episode!! Ian is so funny 😂
