HoneyDew Podcast  

Sam is easily one of my favorite people that I’ve stumbled upon the past two years, not just stand ups. He deserves all the success.

SHOUT OUT SICKLER!

Sam is such a special guest - I've watched his AYG eps multiple times they are gold!

“What a ghoulish time for a plug” is one of the funniest and most heartfelt moments of any interview ever. Big fan Sam! Thanks for sharing your story!

Sam is a treasure. Caregiving of my stroke survivor mom right this second, I cried when I didn’t know I needed to. Thank you Sam

Accidently watched this at the hospital while waiting for my mom to have a spinal tap after her stroke. Haha cried and laughed in my car. Thanks you gents for a lil levity, this is why I keep coming back to the Honey Dew ya'll. Keep them night pants high and tight.

I had to come to RU-vid to leave a comment about how much Sam’s story affected me. I’m over here crying listening tell his fathers character arc and it was devasting hearing about his mother’s loss of independence and the anger she felt towards herself. Wow i mean this was amazing thank you Ryan and Sam you’re the fucking man.

The dumb thing I miss about drinking was I would prep sh!t for my future sober self, didn't always work out. But when I woke up the next day and all my batteries are charged in all the devices and controllers I own and coffee was made, it was pretty sweet. 3 days later when a single 4 inch stainless steel ballbearing(yes singular) shows up in an Amazon package, and you vaguely recall thinking your gonna bankrupt Amazon by buying heavy stuff that's cheap bc they have to be losing money on shipping, yeah Alcohol 😅

Yo Sam felt so real in this one. Ryan is such a great host.

I'm 5 seconds in and I know this is all ready going to be an amazing episode

Sam and Soder are two comics who are doing great but should be SO much bigger for how funny and genuine they are

What a beautiful, funny, heart felt episode. Sam is such a special tallent - pun intended. Can’t wait to see him live. :) pls come to Canada.

Sam Tallent is one of them dudes that i never heard of and then all of a sudden hes doing the rounds and i cant get enough of the guy.

Wow, what a story. Big respect to Sam for his appearance.

Love Sam and his book Running the light. Excited to hear his low lights. Have a great Tuusday. Today was my daughter's first day of Kindergarten!

Ghoulish time for a plug fucking got me haha. Sam rules.

love Sam Tallent. Have this man on as regular as Uncle Joey. I can listen to him forever.

What an absolute champion in Sam Tallent. It was super emotional listening to his story. You could never talk too much on The Honeydew, its the place for the heavy and the low to be lifted high and given levity. Ryan as always just nudging and opening the door for your guest to have time and space to explain their story. No one does it like Sickler. #FTCF *****

Sam is a great guest 🔥

27:10 'Kid, you leveled up! You just won the lottery!!' 😂🤣💀

Sam, you're such a fantastic human being. Thank you for being you.

This was one of the most genuine episodes I've seen. It really captures the essence of how complex grief is and how it can shape you.

Sams pain was so palpable thru his jokes. He will forever be GOAT. What an amazing man

Love me some Sam Tallent. One of the most underrated dudes in the scene. Cried, laughed, cried some more, and can't wait to see Sam in KC, MO. Thanks for this episode, Ryan. One of my favorite podcast episodes ever.

Sam had me in tears of laughter and sorrow , real dude , lifetime fan

This episode couldn’t have come at a better time for me to be able to just hear people overcoming and getting thru trauma and talking about it so openly means the world to us listeners.

Sam is legend, thought Sickler had a Roland 808 sweater

I'm from Castle Rock Colorado I've seen this guy a few times out here. Love his comedy and I'm glad to see him on here. Get Ben Roy next trust me!!

"I don't want to work at the bank anymore, I want to be a teacher" Talk about taking a pay cut lmao

Love Sam, super intelligent and hilarious guy *what an incredible story, it's nice to see this insight into Sam's personal life. I mostly know him from Are You Garbage and it's really great to hear more on his background

Fuck man. I am bawling. This shit is funny and sad all at once. I am going to hug my mom

when I'm starched on weed I rarely get panic attacks but if something major happens with friends or family negatively I hyper focus on it, so I get that 100%. I have neuropathy in my feet from diabetes, so I'm pretty much a daily smoker, but when that happens I'll just hit it light for relief.

Sam rules and is hilarious AND is smart, haven't read his book yet but it got good reviews, cheers

I never heard of Sam until I saw Tim Dillon on tour and he was opening. Criminally underrated comedian.

I just started reading his book 2 days ago, and it’s so good. Its a nice surprise to get him on the dew. Definitely a new fan of Sam ❤

Sam Tallent is a gift to the comedy community in an ocean of so much bullshit these days. His book, this episode, his Maron appearance, him on Are You Garbage, etc. So is Sickler.

Y’all why isn’t the honeydew the top pod? Ryan is the best interviewer/professional listener. Also, his laugh brings dead puppies back to life!!!! Get it together and build this man up ❤

Loved him. And he gets bonus points for pronouncing Louisville correctly. ❤

I laughed / I cried - welcome to the honeydew y’all ❤

Mom was a hairdresser. Was in recovery and began to walk again. Didnt drain her head right had to go in two more times. Permanently paralyzed. Before that dad yelled and threw her on the ground thinking she had OD'd. Took our phones away so we couldnt call 911. No senior year, no 18th bday celebration, marine EMT grandpa passed from the stress, dad still throws her around but gets credited as an angel and savior. I sacrificed my 20's going back and forth to work and school and taking care of her cuz asshole dad worked and brother bailed by falling asleep in a cow and getting her prego. Gave up a full ride to Baylor cuz I couldnt leave her with my monster of a dad. Eh now im gonna try my shot at nursing to see if I can help some other folks out going through stupid shit like that

43:40 god Sammy is such a pure soul, this chuckle crushed me

Sam T nation for life! We aren’t Lund guys! Chubby chaser till I die!

Wow, set looks super! Great guest, thanks for so much engaging and entertaining content.

Please have him on again!

Damn the 47 years and she broke her promise got me 😭😭then out of nowhere the double suicide 🥲

The more I see of Sam the more I like him.

Ain’t nobody gonna tell him it was 2016? 😂

Love this episode. Sam is hilarious and so fuckin smart. Running the Light was incredible. Go buy and read it if you haven’t already.

Sam is the only communist I'll listen to.... great episode fellas 👏 👌🏾 👍

Omgats...... Sam Tallent! I felt your story ❤

I love Sam so much. I discovered him on AYG and Dr Drew after Dark. I'm sad it took me so long to find him, but it gives you a bunch to catch up on.

Y’all could back off the guest’s single a foot or so but otherwise it looks great ❤

This is the best podcast out hands down👏🏽

So stoked on this! Anything coming from Sam Tallent is choice 👌

The wyoming in me gets the colorado in Sam 😄

BREAKING: Donald Trump has been indicted for killing Sam's mom

Sam. Just for that ghoulish plug.. I will watch your special.

I hope Sam sticks around for a very long, long time.

I'm glad you plugged your free special on Amazon while talking about your mother's death Sam, otherwise I wouldn't have known it was available. Judging by how the rest of the story went it killed!

The Chubby Behemoth! He's an ample man.

Seems like a brilliant guy. Just coming across him.

sam is such an amazing dude.

I have to say, the audio is fantastic.... the video with both of you on camera is the best shot, should be used mostly.

Man.. Who’s cutting onions here? Sam can express himself so eloquently and make you feel all the emotions. Everyone, please read “Running the Light”, his book is great too.

Please reschedule your Omaha show Ryan! You’ve been one of my favorites for years now and I was so bummed when it got canceled. Wishing you continued good health, glad you’re doing better!

Sam tallent is the man. Go see him live. Read his book. A true slice of contemporary americana

Love you Sam I’d love to hear more from your Rogan to kill Tony. Great story sorry you had to go through that❤❤❤

I’m not crying, you’re crying! ❤

If a biopic is ever made of Chris DeStefano then Sam is a dead ringer for Tampa Tony.

Fuck yeah! Sam is a killer, love this guy

Fuck man this was so good. Love Sam. He’s gotta come back soon!

I can't believe I've never seen or heard of Sam before, this guy's great! Thank you for everything Ryan, you make the BEST content.

Been waiting for this one ❤

Insanity, and Sam is the Man.

Sam is the best, fantastic episode. Honey Dew starting off the new studio right.

Consistently good podcast. Of all the podcast I’ve started and watch this one I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of.

Chubby Behemoth rules!

You’re the man Sam very well spoken and great stories. Great EP

Saw sam on MSSP when his book came out wnr the episode was great. Never thought twice about him and a later episode shane said it was actually a really good book written well. Never thought about him again after that. Then this came up, and I have to say this is such a good episode. I'll habe to look into his special after this. Thanks for what you do sickle cell, keep up the good work.

Best Honeydew guest I’ve seen so far. Sam seems like he would be friends with Shane Gillis

Sam you are so great. I’m sorry about your mom.

Damn, I started tearing up and then laughing the second, MULTIPLE TIMES. Love Ryan Sickler and Sam! ❤️ what a good pod to listen to on a Friday. Keep killing it guys❤️❤️

Sammy! Mom was always AWARE! She was frustrated by not being able to communicate. SHE Died of a Full Heart! Be good with that and know,… NOTHING DIES! It just changes.❤

Is there anyone better than Sam? The best

The Three of us,myself included, are some of many people that are meant to heal. I m Just figuring this out. My father and grandfather are ex police. We have a gift of presence and fairness. I wanted to be police but I fd that up as a teenager. We are peacekeepers! LISTENERS. I have the same thing where people know me enough to vent. I have always had the ability to know people within minutes of talking to them. I know that humans together are the most special species in every existence. We are separated by Fear. There’s nothing to fear! Pain sucks! But it’s temporary. MIND UP❤♾️👽🇺🇸
