I was one of Ryan's patreon members from the beginning and it was clear to see that sober Ryan was very talented and he told us that if he ever started going missing that he was back to using. He thought that we wouldn't support him if he wasn't sober but that's not true for most of the patreon members. While it did suck seeing him mess up everything he had worked hard for most of us are former addicts and knew how it worked.. he was highly entertaining and I wish he would have published his book before he passed along with getting sober.. his sons are never going to know him which is heartbreaking

I just heard that Ryan passed away.. I never knew Ryan personally but I started following him immediately after being on lockdown 23 and 1. He started his own channel and It felt like I knew him from his videos. I could relate to his stories and addiction I just wish he made it through his battle for his wife and kids. Rest easy brother! 🧡💙

Just heard that Ryan passed away today,Ryan's KZfaq channel is such a gem 💎 ...he is such an amazing story teller he left such a huge impression on me the first time I watched one of his videos..looked forward to them every week.wish he could have lived along one 😰he will be missed....

Man that line where he said he doesn’t think his dads heart can take if he died. That just crushed me again. We miss ya Ryan. N we are praying/thinking of your boys, Frank, Dianne, Karina and all.

Very sad to hear of Ryan’s passing.Praying for his loved ones ❤️

It shattered my heart to know he passed like 5 or 6 months after this video. When he said his Dad wouldn't be able handle it if he died, I just burst into tears. What a profound loss to this world. What a beautiful, talented, brilliant soul. May he rest in the sweetest peace and continue living through his art and his son's eyes. ❤

Had been following Ryan before his KZfaq days. He was a special dude. Couldn’t believe the news when I heard. Felt like I knew him. Will miss his presence here a lot. RIP Ryan #Palabra

Remember guys, it works if you work it. For anyone who’s in active addiction or in recovery and trying to stay clean, myself included, I’m proud of you.

RIP RYAN, it's sad to watch this and hear him talk about dying from his addiction if he didn't get off the fentanyl. It was almost like he predicted his own death. I was and always will be a fan for his story's, book, and art. I hope he has finally found peace and I pray his kids and wife can find a way to memorialize him and find a way to understand that he was truly powerless as he said in the interview and somehow find meaning in his death.

May he Rest In Peace. Much respect to his family

So sad to hear ryan has passed. I’ve been watching this dude forever now. Such a talented guy and just genuinely a good dude. Addiction is no joke guys. Rip Ryan you will be greatly missed. 😞

R.I.P RYAN LEONE

Always got the impression Ryan was indestructible.HIs stories were insane.. Listened to all of them ,twice. Sad. R.I.P.

Really glad to see Ryan again, made me remember why I started watching him/really enjoyed his Patreon...seriously considering going back--more important that he is still with us. Really enjoyed how you did interview. Subscribed here, thank you!

Oh my gosh, this is so sad, and ironic. I just found out Ryan has passed, as I'm watching this. I just found this channel, and it came up on my feed! This is terrible! But man, you can only burn the torch for so long...eventually it's going to burn out. R.I.P. my dude...you will be missed by many, and treasured by more. 😔💔🙏🦋

Ryan please go back to rehab. You have a beautiful family that deserve more than that. Your self worth is more than that. Love Australia ❤️❤️🙏🙏🌈🌈 There are some great rehabs in Australia. My brother has been addicted to drugs for most of his life. It’s so hard on the family but even harder on the addict. Its definitely the devils game. Please be safe and sober your a great guy. I pray your feeling better and have clarity.

Dopey is my Favourite thing on earth! This guy is the best interviewer there is. I’m 15 months sober and have fallen asleep to this podcast every night for about 12 of them. Thank you!!!

Sending Love RIP Ryan

I'm still on the methadone. 120mg a day for a year and a half now. It definitely isn't the greatest BUT it's better than active addiction by a fuckin long shot!! Night and day homies. Stay positive and do what works for you to beat YOUR ADDICTION AND LIVE YOUR LIFE!! Positive vibes!! RIP RYAN 🙏

rip man ryan the greatest man hope we get to see everything

RIP Ryan rest easy brother

DAVE! You are super talented and a gifted interviewer like Stern. I have been following you for 2 years now. I've always meant to write you an email because I have over 20 years of dopey stories. This is the first time I have ever seen you on video or pictures and after 2 years of a random voice in my head, I finally have a face to go with it. It's definitively a face for radio, like Howard. Thanks for all your encouragement, advice and entertainment. You have helped me, and countless others, to find the strength to soldier on in whatever way they can in a happy, joyous, and free manner, so thank you. By the way, I AM DR REMULAK

Ah finally a video podcast. Been waiting for this a long time.

RIP Ryan…. Wish Your family all the best!

Dopey KZfaq Nation! Loving the video podcast mashup.

Stay on that Methadone bro because it will save you

Sad indeed. I feel for his sons who will never get to know him and his parents and loved ones who will have to learn to live without him. 💔

Rest in peace Ryan ♥️

Wow he was all messed up. RIP Leone.

BOMB-ASS HEINA, FOOL. RIP Ryan!

Omg Howie said "heron" I love it!

Ryan's my favorite story teller and is one hell of a guy he's an inspiration 2 me he opened my eyes to all of us adhd dude and eev e all been threw a n insane life I spent 5 years behind mental institutions jails boot camp jail style etc yall come fk wit me

Dave out here killin em ...

Just crazy, he knew the fent was gonna take him out, he kept talking about it, and thats what happened. RIP Ryan, palabra.

“Ryan Leone is going to die I do not think so he will rise to the occasion.” Very tough to hear. RIP.

I hit someone with 3 sprays called 911 the EMT's hit him IV with the narcan and finally he came back.

Rip ryan your in better place my boy

R.I.P Ryan 💔

Oh this happened to him I’m so sad . He knew his own fate.

RIP Ryan

Maybe him and Bill Walton will cross paths up there in the big grate ether, and Mr. Walton will smack some sense into him!! Settle down easy brother

This is crazy to watch now, I was/am a fan of Ryans from the beginning of his channel and Patreon but lost track until the other day something said to check his page and damn this shit is awful

He said are you allowed to say that? that he's Nigerian? Lmfao

Great episode man u got another fan

It sounds like this fellow really loved drugs despite all the trauma and pain and I can relate, drugs are absolutely fascinating and it's not easy to admit.

I knew a young guy who swallowed a vile of liquid acid so the cops wouldn't find it, and he developed acute schizophrenia and ended up disabled from it 😢

This is gold thank you for this Ryan hope you get out of this

You say this is your second interview with Leone but I can only find this one? Can someone please reply to my comment with the link to the previous interview if possible?

Super funny Leone throws in the vanity fair lie.

Rip Ryan Leone

I just got diagnosed with ADHD at 47. I've suffered with these symptoms my whole life, and it's no joke that ADHD really fucks with your whole life. From the first med, it completely changed my life. I have chased relief my whole life by self-medicating, trying to drive the symptoms away, not even knowing the reason for it, is because of ADHD!! Thank God, I never got involved deeply with opioids and things, but with alcohol and weed. I had to stop weed, because it made me anxious as hell, and stopped drinking when I started back at college, to get my degree. But struggled daily with anxiety, severe procrastination, never felt I could be, or accomplish anything. Which brings the depression...it's a never-ending cycle of bullshit! If you suffer from ADHD, and seek relief from self-medicating, please try to take meds, taken as prescribed, for ADHD. It's worth trying it, because it could save your life!! It's really life-changing... And therapy. If you don't want to go to a therapist, there are great videos on KZfaq, and even insight, into why you do the things you do, is helpful towards changing for the better, for yourself. 😎🤙

R.I.P. Ryan

RIP RYAN ♥️📿🧎🏻‍♀️

Hey just found this one Dave. Awesome !! I’ve been badgering Ryan a bit about Ibogaine coz as if anyone would benefit from a treatment it’d be him.

It creates a euphoria so of course you can be more creative

How long was this filmed b4 he passed?

This is tough to listen to knowing he had less than 6 months left.

Palabra little fella

What a Damn shame , He dared to dance w the Devil 👿 R.I.P 😢

😢 rip

Methadone would have saved his life..

Is there "drug stories for truck3rs 2" ? Ryan you pretty much rock .Jussi

These fent analogues are designed to be short lasting and the sickness lasts much longer. It's a money maker for drug organizations. It's not enjoyable and has no legs. It's disgusting.

Another podcaster who loves the sound of his own voice.. let your guest talk

After recording this in 6 months he will die 😢 Damn Ryan what a waste of talent...... God bless your father, your mother your 2 little boys and Karina

RIP Ryan 🙏

Bwahaha!! You did fkn what ? 60 hits…….I need to hear more of this

Damn ryan you left your father kids wife bro

Howie is an anomely. Never drank or smoked? Im just blown away. At least smoke weed once, just to alter your consciousness.

Btw My favorite you tubers for a while now #Dopeynation for life. Fucking toodles for Chris always always ,

Man I thought you were going to say karina dmed you that Ryan died of a O.D. Doesn't take away from the man who did die by any means I just enjoy leones content since he started. R.I.P Davin

This is absolutely tragic, this guy romantised his drug use. He never stood a chance. He had some serious demons , running from something. I truly believe he was running from the truth of being gay..I wonder if he assumed that being at the hospital he would be saved? In order to gather more info for his story.

He was delusional, he never bought a house, they were renting

And he’s no longer here.. sad

Rip Palabra

damn this shit poignant

He’s 45?? Gotta be all that clean living, he looks like he’s in his early 30s

Ketamine comes as a liquid. Smfh

40:41

Possibly bi polar as well..

I absolutely love Ryan's stories... but it's an absolute tragedy knowing that he's gonna be a life long junkie and choose to bring two kids into this world. He will never be clean because he doesn't want to be clean

Yo ryan methadone benzos and weed. Thats the combo you won't die you can maintain. You're someone who will never be substance free and thats okay .

I’m in no way trying to drum up business. I’m way too fkn busy but I know a lot of Ibogaine providers. Put a bug in his ear Dave 🙏

Ryan had more made up stories and was such a bullshiitter , I couldn't tolerate his made up stories

R.I.P big Ryan
