The HoneyDew is a storytelling podcast hosted by comedian, Ryan Sickler. Inspired by Ryan’s adverse upbringing, the show focuses on highlighting and laughing at the lowlights of life. Appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience, Comedy Central’s This is Not Happening, Viceland’s Party Legends and co-hosting The CrabFeast podcast for the past 7 years, have cemented Ryan Sickler as one of comedy’s premier storytellers.
Ryan’s 2018 album, Get a Hold of Yourself, was the #1 standup album on Billboard charts and the #1 comedy album on iTunes charts, reaching #65 overall. Additional TV appearances include CBS The Late Late Show, Tosh.O and Live At Gotham. Ryan is also an informed sports fan and appeared as a regular on Fox Sports.
Ryan is the Supervising Producer on Season 2 of Kevin Hart’s award-winning Donald Mac series and the Co-Executive Producer of the new E! series, The Funny Dance Show. He was the Senior Producer on the Comedy Central series, The Comedy Jam.
On this week’s episode, Sickler is joined by comedian Sam Tripoli (Tin Foil Hat, Broken Simulation) as he discusses the highlights and lowlights of being a single dad to twin girls and battling addiction.
Sam Tripoli: Sam Tripoli views comedy as a calling rather a profession. It’s a passion that he preaches to audiences at comedy clubs across the country and on television. In 2014, Tripoli’s 2nd album “Believe In Yourself” went to #2 on iTunes in America and #1 in Canada! His TV Credits include Showtime’s “Live Nude”, “Russell Peters’ Comic Without Borders!”, E!’s “Love You, Mean it! With Whitney Cummings,” CMT’s “The Josh Wolf Show,” Comedy Centrals’ “Premium Blend” (receiving only one of two standing ovations in the history of the show), a frolicsome turn as a male escort for E! Entertainment’s “Party @ the Palms,” “The Late Late Show on CBS”, “Comics Unleashed”. He was also a co-host of Spike TV’s hugely popular “Wide World of Spike” and “Bellator MMA Digital!” Tripoli has been heard on The Howard Stern show, The Jason Ellis Show on Sirius Radio, and also regularly appears on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Tripoli hosts his own very popular radio show called “The Naughty Show” on PlayboyRadio as well as his mega popular All Things Comedy “Punch Drunk Sports” podcast with co- host Ari Shaffir of Comedy Central. Sam’s writing credits include The 2012 MTV Movie Awards, Comedy Central Roast of Joan Rivers and Pamela Anderson, The 2011 World MMA Awards and most recently his Roast Of The Iron Sheik jokes were quoted in Rolling Stone Magazine. On stage he’s a force of nature, pacing the stage like a cyclone of funny as he questions authority and the conventions of our society one moment, then earnestly expressing his affinity for bizarre the next. His comedy has no limits – its whatever he’s thinking about, and that’s usually what everyone else is thinking about, even though sometimes we don’t like to admit to it. “I like to think of myself as the little voice in everyone’s head, except I have a microphone and I’m funnier,” Sam says.
