Thank you for this podcast, it’s truly a gift. You have a special, gentle, and kind way of interviewing; highlighting the lowlights!

[@robertbowers8481]

I lost my mother when I was a child, and this was very therapeutic to listen to. My father is still alive, and I've also never pressed him for stories and information for the exact same reasons. My biggest takeaway is that I should try to open him up about it, respectfully, while I still have him. Nightpants Nation unite!

I lost my mom at 13 and my dad died when I was in my 20s. Talk to him. Do it while you can.

[@moralhazard1]

Rory is THE most underrated comic imaginable! Insane how good and original he is live! lol

[@AllHandlesTaken91]

Happy Toosdee y'all!

[@gmlogan4889]

Goddamn this one hit me hard. My wife was diagnosed with cancer when my kids were 3 and 1. Thank God she’s still here 5 years later, but all this stuff went through my head. I can relate to his Dad so much. Man, I already liked Rory, but this really made me a fan. What a great dude.

[@Cevans3535]

My god this was a good episode. Rory is one of my all time favorite comedians and I did not expect to be brought to tears on several occasions listening to this podcast. I can't wait for him to go on the road again because I really want to see him live. I hope you have him on again sometime!

[@kggregorie]

Rory never does the same set twice, it's wild. I caught his last show in March 2020 at The Comedy Closet before covid kicked in, hoping he hits the road again soon

[@Cevans3535]

@@kggregorie Yeah I've seen interviews where he's stated that for a whole tour he basically did zero writing and just did entire sets that were all riffs and things that came up naturally from crowd work. And of course that was what his last special showcased and that was really awesome, so I'm pumped to get to make it to one of his shows whenever he does head back out.

[@amberfish9539]

Full blown tears. As a mom, this is such a powerful message ab cherishing it all.

You know what's crazy? I pay for a Patreon account for the HD and STILL listen on here every Tooesdee because old habits die hard. 🤣🤣

[@parkermmmhill]

Only Ryan sickler can get me so interested in people I barely know. He's so good at talking to people.

[@EastboundAndDowns]

Rory is definitely one of those people; he's underrated as a stand-up.

[@davidperez5089]

Interesting interview! What is going on with his beard? I can't stop looking at that clump of hair on the side.

[@dolan979]

He needs to trim it lol

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

Scovel's stand up is amazing. Gatekeeper Rogan hasn't had him on yet, maybe that's the problem

[@joshualorenz5696]

I have seen every honey dew episode and this one hit me in my feels the most. I lost my father at the age of 4 and my dad was 23 when he passed. I have struggled with all the same things discussed here especially when my son turned 4 it was a huge struggle for me. Almost like i was looking at myself through my fathers eyes. Thank you so much Sicklecell for all you do. Best podcast hands down.

[@macksanderson]

Saw Rory Scovel and got ready for a bunch of laughs. Didn't expect to be crying at this episode.

[@PinkuStyle]

Everyone has a story. Not just those at the very top

[@bigpoppasmurf]

I've always been a huge fan of Rory, but I had no clue about his past. I was just doing my dishes after a dab and crying my eyes out. Thank you, honeydew, for best conversations.

[@harleybqrazy]

Rory Scovel is my favourite comedian, so thank you, Ryan! This podcast was so emotional. I loved it.

[@matthewalexanderkatsock]

This podcast is the only one where I can see a guest with a name I’ve never recognized and I still watch it as soon as I can. I absolutely love how Ryan makes every person and their trauma mean something. He makes you cry laughing, or laugh while crying and it’s been helping me come to terms with my own life. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@nohalfstep4435]

I am also a member of the dead moms club since 19 yrs old. Thanks for sharing your ups and downs with us all :-)

[@MikeP2055]

I'm so sorry to hear that. My best friend Adam's mom passed away when we were 19. He and his twin sister persevered and at 44 he's still my best friend in this entire godforsaken universe. (Horrible breath though. Jesus Christ!) I wish you the best, my friend. ✌️

[@bryanmattson8716]

Nothing like a good cry in the morning on my way to work! As a cancer survivor and kids of my own this one hits hard, plus I feel I haven’t been able to access my emotions in a healthy way for a while. Rory’s perspective and experience helps me really appreciate what I have, thanks Ryan for putting this together…now I need to call my mom.

I knew it was going to be an emotional episode when I was already tearing up in less than 5 minutes of Rory being on…..

[@ENigma-um8zw]

Rory Scovel in ANYTHING, ah-yes please!

[@alteredninja]

My wife passed away almost a year ago in May a month after our thirty-second birthdays. We were together since sixteen. She was always the one that took pictures and videos for us so I don’t have any videos with her in them. I used to give her shit about always taking those pic and vids. I’d say just be here in the moment. Now, I understand why. I only have one Live Photo of her petting alpacas where she’s laughing and a video she took of me when I was falling down drunk and she’s laughing and talking to me. Can’t see her but I can hear her. If anybody reads this, take advantage of always having a smart phone. Get those videos and pictures. Live in those moments but don’t forget to at least get some of that documentation. I wish I had. Thanks Ryan and Rory.

[@Julian813]

Thought provoking podcast. I feel real lucky that even though I had a rough upbringing I still had both parents and they did the best they could.

[@ian837]

Man this is a great podcast. I’m very appreciative to have such amazing parents that are still alive. Thank your Ryan and Rory!

[@MikeP2055]

SAME. My father had a stroke in 1992, then Alzheimer's set in in the past few years, so I've sort of had 3 different versions of dads. But most importantly: I've had 44 years of my wacky pops. And my mom deserves a fkn lifetime achievement award or to be Sainted or something.

Rory is seriously underrated. This was a powerful episode. I hope more of the podcast scene has him on. His standup is ridiculous. Never knew the trauma it was bread from.

[@twistyfish721]

This is the first episode I've had to literally fight back tears

[@MikeP2055]

Let 'em rip! It seems counterintuitive but it's so healthy and necessary. My pops is in bad shape and every two weeks or so I bawl my eyes out. It sucks ass, but the relief afterwards is unimaginable.

Great episode. I need to call my dad 👨 while I still have him around

[@MikeP2055]

Please do.

[@alexbaum2204]

1:05:15. Shit. That just really hit home. A friend mine is like this. So many people passed when she was young. Her dad, uncle, aunt. When her mother passed not so many years ago, she was utterly inconsolable. Still goes through it on an almost daily basis. And yet here I sit, and while both my grandmothers have passed on, I’ve never dealt with a “premature” or unexpected death in my life. And when they passed, I was on the opposite side of the world dealing with a totally different life. It’s never been something I’ve had to confront up close. And yet at some point, I will have to. And I’ll be totally unprepared, save for hearing gems like the ones Rory is putting out there. I’m very glad she’s my friend. Besides being a wonderful person, I think she’ll really be able to help me gain some perspective when I have to go through it. She’s trained in it. She has a rare and valuable view of the whole thing, while I have almost nothing to go on.

[@vanhooza]

I learned about rory from getting doug with high and watched everything he had to offer on youtube. His story had me weeping on and off throughout the whole episode. I cant wait for him to make a come back

This was such an amazing episode, and I’m so appreciative for how open Rory was about his feelings and understanding at every age and stage of this. My dad is dying of Alzheimer’s, and these grieving parent episodes help so much to process the intense feelings. Thank you Sickler. p.s. good to see Rory back on a Toozdee…5 stars, fuck the crabfeast

[@kathleenchapman3890]

So many of us are living what you're going through. My mil and fil were both in the local nursing home at the same time, both with alzheimers. My husband and I got through it by laughing after we visited. It was either that or cry. We found the funny in every visit with them....believe me it was horrible most times. It really got us through. Good luck and remember....find the funny!

I'm right there with you, friend. After having a stroke in '93 my pops eventually devolved into Alzheimer's a few years back. He's still hanging in there at age 80 but it is soul-crushing to watch. But anyhow, enough of that. Much love and strength. ✌️
