How does Ryan not have over a million subs by now? This is the best podcast on the internet.

[@Raizterr]

I always think the same thing. Best pod out there.

[@robgal9695]

Right there with ya He rocks

[@rickybobby3746]

100 percent agree

[@jackdetweiler3442]

I think KZbin has to be pulling some slick shit.

[@Spacklehoss]

Right!

[@alec6948]

"Gang shit" was so underrated, but Ryan was so taken aback by the suicide that he missed it 😂

[@anthonyletitin]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that found that hilarious lol

[@realityboost4405]

For all the laughter (which is as wonderful as it is necessary) this is an incredibly moving and profound interview…SO moving…What a powerful, genuine and articulate soul you are Brittany, in the face of such adversity…And massive props to you Ryan for judging the situation just right…Humble name suggestions for your next Special Britt, in your spirit: 'Hinge' or 'You're Afraid of a Woman?' So much love……Which you certainly are worthy of…😔

[@stebolavirus]

Her comment about alcohol being her friend and helping her through so many periods of her life is an amazing statement about addiction and addictive substances we use to comfort ourselves

[@clevermissfox]

The betrayal from being stolen from by a parent is... I’ve been there and I’m still struggling with forgiving

[@danielleschmidt2954]

Sending you good vibes and well wishes with your surgery! I will actively be worrying about you until I see you mention that it all went ok. Please let us know! Thank you so much for making this content for us to enjoy. ❤

[@jamesminister2637]

My grandpa was in a coma, woke up on the yr anniversary of my dad's death and said this is the day I lost Chad and then passed away. And it was within the same he my dad had passed. We are all connected a lot more then we care to put any thought into

[@marcuslemasters3709]

This is seriously the best podcast on the internet. Ryan is the best

[@thomassenger9082]

I'm crying tears of hope , thank you for being honest Brittany .

[@kb5509]

You're crying?

[@thomassenger9082]

As I struggle with AUD . Nice to hear someone who beat it.

[@itmeurdad]

52:06 is an incredible display of emotional intelligence and really shows what a gifted interviewer Ryan is.

[@lordfordification]

😂

[@lordfordification]

I saw your comment when I started watching. I got out of the shower and realized it was 54 minutes. I clicked your timestamp and I nearly shit myself and had to shower again

[@thesnapperlapper2559]

Good luck Sickler, get better. She was alright, Dahmer story was gold

[@reginoherrera480]

Ryan Sickler once again u proved why your podcast is in my opinion the best out there Brittany Schmidt is one tough cookie man much respect

[@lordfordification]

Ryan's laugh kills me every time. No matter when, no matter where.

[@jeremychagnon3998]

On kill Tony you could tell he was trying to hold it back, people who don’t like him because of his laugh really need therapy

[@clevermissfox]

Duncan Trussell and Sicklers laughs are iconic

[@jeremychagnon3998]

I can watch Brent crystals and Tim’s cool aid clip and that one is tough for the casual fan but they’re very real moments of happy people. I don’t get the hate

[@scottheath8902]

It’s wild the relatability to this episode. I’ve had to replay certain parts 10 times. Holy cow. This moves me.

[@chrisramirez990]

Brother, thanks for making the darkest parts of life hilarious & come out w some perspective. Good luck on next surgery. Blessings

[@patkelly221]

I recently moved to MKE from Omaha because of similar reasons to Brittany. I love you and your show Ryan. Helps to know people struggle with the same stuff

[@noemiburns6470]

Big thumbs up on this ep, Brittany’s a riot👍🏾

[@dannysanchez9919]

Getting sober feel exactly like Brit. Thank you for this. It feels like losing your bf 😢

[@demitrisolvinski]

It gets better! Stay strong (:

[@davidalaniz9203]

Shit Sickler, hopefully the surgery goes well for you! Need you back here making everyone feel better. Awesome episode!

[@TKdoggy]

Bacardi Razz was absolutely the reference liquor in my high school circa 2002-2006.

[@jencook3287]

Really great episode!👏🏼❤️ Sending good vibes during your surgery~ we love you Ryan!!!

[@krombopulosmichaels2996]

All about the happy and broken stories of our favorite comedians.

[@wanderingfool27]

Great eppisode, awesome guest, best energy to you Ryan 🙏

[@DemocracyJones]

Love you Ryan, Princess, and crew! Hope everything goes well with your operation. Make sure Van Kirk visits lol We'll be here waiting for you! ❤️

[@xSwordLilyx]

omg same! I am shook. My mom is bipolar but she also drained my college bank account and denies it. She is an addict (what I have heard is she is clean, her bipolar is better but unmedicated, but she refuses to work and I distance myself from her so I don't know) and possibly she doesn't remember it but my dad would never do that. My siblings are 2 years apart so when I turned 18 we all got letters that we have 5 dollars in the mail and like 6 years of scheduled dissappointment. My sisters are much more angry at her but I was more I want to have some relationship with you but you have to be medicated. And when there was active addiction there had to be next to none to protect me and my nephew and there hasn't been a christmas where I so much as saw her for many years. Birthdays and everything are much more sad now. My parents refused to divorce for like 15 years and since she abandoned us and stole from dad she didn't get alimony or anything much more than half the retirement at the time she left. And my little sister actually does go to college so she has paid for everything.

[@TheIsaeldelgadojaime]

Always have been a fan of her comedy, about wish her all the love she deserves through the healing ❤️‍🩹 love her!

[@centeroftheline4018]

Time to highlight the lowlights!

[@alsowinehouse]

Happy Tewsday y'all. Hope your surgery goes well Ryan much Love

[@thomaspaulson5284]

I live in Batavia and will see you in April my man. Good luck with the back

[@LittleCoyot]

Omg he’s going to have fun with that one. She’s got crazy stories

[@ashleyvaughn7848]

It's Toozdee y'all! You keep putting those R's in there, Ryan, it's charming ❤

[@jesselitt]

That was a great interview, new fan

[@TeaGF]

I wish you a fast recovery Mr Sickler ❤❤❤

[@Nyx_Nyx]

Happy Toosdee ya'll. I hope Ryan and Jay consider a limited run of some of the old CrabFeast t shirt, even if it's for the holiday. I'd love to get pick up a few. I do have Honeydew merch and loved this episode so far.

[@clevermissfox]

I haven’t been able to find the full crab feast library on KZbin !!

[@mps927]

Great interview.

[@YourGFsFavoriteBF]

Her story about hooking up with an ex-NBA player is top tier funny.!

[@stevenpallo8783]

Bubbler .......that is all and yes it is hard to drop the Wisconsin accent 😂

[@zeroman614]

Dammit, I’ll be in EU for the rescheduled Batavia show. Oh well, what ya gonna dew.

[@RustyBlumpkins]

I love you and want to thank you Ryan. This surgery will be a different experience than the last one.

[@bingbangboom9614]

This was therapeutic. I’m getting help right now but I realize that I need more help.

[@mmksd81]

Best for your op and recovery!

[@thomassenger9082]

Hearing stories of getting healthy from AUD. Gives me hope.

[@clinthoyt2431]

Bomb ass podcast man!

[@chokeonnosebleed]

We'll be thinking of you King Dew!

[@SesameStreetMeat]

I had a friend paint his wall before, and I was the one who found him. It was heavy, man.

[@clevermissfox]

That’s so hard, hope you’re coping okay. I’ve found a friend who ODed , can’t imagine finding a friend who ‘painted their wall’ ❤️‍🩹

I'm a huuuuuge YMH, MSSP, Shoes Off, This past week, Bad Friends... you name it, comedyfan. Like, a seriously major comedy fan and an amateur Stand Up. HONEYDEW IS THE ONLY ONE I PAY FOR

[@TwoyBwoy]

Dude it’s crazy. I also grew up in Wisconsin and everything she says is true. Also surreal cause her voice is very similar to my sister’s. Funnily enough, I graduated from UW Milwaukee and yeah it’s kind of a meh school lol. Funnily is a word btw.

[@supafun33]

This was a great episode. My jaw dropped when she told the story about her college fund. I'm a new fan of Brittany, just started her special on 800 Pound Gorilla.

[@chabnormal]

Funnily is a word. LOL

[@Heywoodjablowme420]

Now let's get back to the dew!

[@only_son5040]

Be praying for you Ryan

[@IFIMTHEDEV1L]

I wasnt arrested on Fathers Day but holy shit her mom sounds exactly like my son's mom

[@stephenprice8810]

wild. same kinda mom........but mine had me arrested and removed from home. signed me over as ward of the state and i went to the group home. all because i didn't mow the lawn when she told me to. all i did was ask if i could do it in the morning cause it was actually 102 degrees out.

[@drodge72]

I bet Brittany's ex new gf hates her. They are obviously still in love

[@megapixelkid970]

📣“Down Goes Grazer!”

[@itmeurdad]

The journey with Cluster B parents is horifically unfair but those of us who make it through get the opportunity to break the cycle. Unfortunately that requires a pretty serious amount of work our parents were unwilling or unable to do themselves, and then some.

[@justindilio5008]

Her name is Brittany and she looks so much like Brittney Mahomes!

[@jvillan94]

My sister is schizophrenic and sounds similar to her mom just not as extreme. It's not easy dealing with ppl like that.

[@joewatts2940]

California for sure has accents. The bay is way different than LA, for example.

[@joegolden6969]

Brittney on the hard R’s😂😂😂😂

[@stlbatman]

Holy fuckin shit dude! Crazy pod! Stay strong chica 💪

[@ampaone86]

Her dad picked some real winners. They were probably super hot tho. 😂

[@RavenNationIII]

Ugh my ex used to slam doors, you just gave me flashbacks

[@kaat776]

Ive been a cop for over 23 yrs & women RARELY shoot themselves! She must have really been nutso. So sorry for her daughters to live with that level of crazy. Also, Michigan Illinois aren’t what you’d call “aware” of mental illness. So sorry for what she’s been through.

[@Ognugget4]

I’ve never related to a guest more

[@gregoryhines7]

So many good dads like hers get screwed over by the system. Shameful

[@vaughnforsythe]

is there a pay to stay in chicago?

[@only_son5040]

Shes ashamed of being from Wisconsin but it's an insult to say she could've been from Louisiana? Idk that just hit me the wrong way.

[@unfoundfate]

Soft

[@only_son5040]

@unfoundfate if they are just jokes its all good but the way she said California's perfect makes me think she actually believes it.

[@sjmac9737]

Very interesting and a bit surreal. Watched your comedy, you need the same pace as this interview (advice was free, don't complain)

[@JRA73]

Love this podcast, always interesting and the vibe is always cool as fuck! Her mother sounds like my daughters mother.... complete narcissistic cnut!! 😎
