Rest in peace top dog. I always loved when Tom would call him and he would answer "HEY BUDDY!!!" with such happiness in his voice

Yes! That was always my favorite thing to hear from him. You could just tell he genuinely looked forward to every conversation with his son ❤

It's heartbreaking and also heartwarming to see Tom show his sadness for TopDog's passing. I didn't think I would see it. He really loved his dad.

[@TheCaptainPicard]

I really appreciate Tom being so open and sharing his story of his dad and him going through everything with him being so sick and his death. I really feel his raw emotion and the love he had for him. And, to continue to perform comedy through all of that seems unimaginable and yet also what has to have been an amazing way to cope with what was going on. Much love to you Tom and also you Ryan for such an amazing podcast. ❤

My Mum died 70 days after being diagnosed with cancer, one week after her 61st birthday. I’d quit my job to take care of her the day before she died, we didn’t expect it to be so sudden. I have not coped well and cried and laughed through this episode on Spotify yesterday…why am I putting myself through this again? Because the highlights are so precious it makes the lowlights worth it, just like life.

You couldnt be more wrong about the precious highlights ❤

My mother died of lung cancer in july 2022. I haven’t heard anyone speak about what happens to people when they are dying in terms of the body getting ready to died. My mother wasn’t aware enough to acknowledge I was in the room. But every few minutes begged to leave to the hospital her last few days. It’s slightly relieving hearing that it happens to other people.

Cancer sucks. Listening to him retell his fathers battle is like reliving my moms battle. His strength actually helped a lot to see while I’m trying to be strong through my grief. Thanks Tommy for speaking on this.

Man. Ryan has a special ability to bring comfort to people to allow them to open up emotionally. I feel seeing Tom open up about his dad for more than a few minutes at a time lifted a lot of weight off his shoulders. Of course, knowing the relationship that Tom and Sickle Cell have, it was probably a lot easier for him to open up like that. But the way Ryan just lets Tom talk and always asks the right questions next and will crack a joke in the middle sometimes is just perfect. This podcast helps so many more people than you could ever imagine, Sickler. You bring on extraordinary people and show us that we are all one and the same. No matter how status in life, no matter our annual salary.. we all have been through tough times and knowing that we’re not alone helps so much. Thank you, Ryan and thank you Tom for this episode.

I would've spent every moment with him before he passed if I just knew it would all end soon. That is what I regret about all of it, is not knowing when he'd be gone. Both of them said it. Just random shit makes me think about him, and I cry. I am super glad I watched this. As emotional as it is, seeing Tom so open about seeing Top Dog wither away and deteriorate like I did with my dad actually helps a lot.

[@IceKoldKilla]

I went through something similar in 2021. I was 28. My mom passed on June 30th from cancer. Her whole body was fucked. It was too late by the time she was diagnosed in Colombia. Yeah, my mom insisted on going home when she was sent to a hospital for dying patients. She luckily was in Spain for her last few months which meant everything was free. Amazing. If only the US could find a way. Look at how they live. Happy. Taking siestas. But yeah, not to get all into it because I tend to rant, but it was tough. She pulled out her tube from her stomach. It was in her throat. And she said she didn't care anymore. She was done suffering. And as someone who was always anxious and needed to leave the house all the time, always on the move, I think it was tough for her. Thank god the nurses let me smoke my spliffs on the balcony. Other patients smoked and they didn't mind. It was tough. Weed and music got me through living with her in that hospital for a couple weeks. She died shortly after that night of pulling out her own tubes. That morning they sedated her. Next best legal thing allowed. She died sedated at least. I literally saw her final breath.... I will never forget that moment. Witnessing life end from the person that brought me to this world and worked her ASS off as a single mother. We moved countries so many times in an attempt to establish a good place to live. Sadly we always had to restart. But she tried so hard and did an amazing job at it. Ofelia, que sigas descansando en paz. Te amo muchísimo y me aseguraré de que mis hijos sepan todo lo que fuiste. Increíble. Gracias por todo, mamá. ❤

This is one of the best podcast episodes I've seen. Love everything about this duo! So heartfelt!

I never leave comments. But this was fantastic. Ryan asked all the questions everyone would never ask. I loved it

My dad died of blood cancer in May. He had Acute Myeloid Leukemia which is unfortunately a very agressive kind. Went through everything and got into remission, bone marrow transplant like Tom mentioned. It's so dangerous and scary. You are like a newborn baby after it happens, and you have an entirely new immune system (to the point you have to get every single vaccine since the day you were born again). I took care of him through it all, and was the one who donated the stem cells to him for the transplant. He was in remission but relapsed beginning of this year and passed after trying everything to fight it. He was only 50 and still had a full life in front of him. My dad was my best friend, I think about him every day. I feel so deeply with everything Tom talked about the dying process & afterwards. This podcast made me feel a little better hearing you guys talk and laugh about it. Thank yall ❤️ RIP Top Dog 🙏🏻

When Tom did the top dog impression in front of Charo 😢 She said it sounded just like him and I lost it crying .

I think this podcast will take anyone and everyone who has lost a parent back to that time in their life...and it's been 20 years for me... I appreciate both you guys for this 😢

First time listener of Honeydew and Sickler. Was laughing out loud and crying during this. Thank you both for sharing your stories with us.

When I was in high school my ex girlfriend's father was in hospice after fighting the same cancer Tom's father had. One day her and I were alone with him and he asked us to help him up even though we kept telling him we couldn't. Fortunately the second he got off the bed it alerted in the nurse to come. He passed shortly after, almost 10 years ago. It brings me great peace to hear that is normal and it happened with Tom's father. Thank you and love you guys!

My father, who was a 101st Airborne Ranger, passed a few years back. Very similar way of going and stories. He was the most amazing person I've ever met. My world changed when he passed, and me crying at random moments will never stop. I truly feel your pain, and I hope you find some comfort as time passes. God bless you and your family Tom. Thanks for all the laughs. My condolences.

Appreciate Tom sharing his experience with his father. Losing a parent is never easy.
