This was an intense episode. Dude was hilarious and super honest. Thanks Ryan!

Never heard of this guy but he's hilarious, you appreciate how off-putting he is.

This episode definitely hit home. It gives me hope to know there are other people out there who have felt the same way as I have. Thanks ymh fam ❤️

that right there was gold. love Maronzio Vance he is hilarious!! Also good on him for sharing his story. You are brave man. I still hold you in no other light than brilliance!

"I love my kids, but I hate the packages they came in." Epic.

Netflix... do the right thing. Both of these guys need a special... yesterday.

Super cool that you got Kobe Bryant on the cast. He looks taller on TV.

Thank you Ryan and Maronzio. This has been one of the best episodes. I learned and laughed my ass off.

Anyone else come back after the end of the year highlight show?

Wow. Did not expect this one to go in the direction that it did. Maronzio is such a compelling storyteller with such a riveting story to tell. He made the whole thing simultaneously disturbing and darkly hilarious. Awesome guest. Awesome podcast. Keep 'em coming Ryan!

I literally gasped out loud when he said that if he figures himself out, he'll die. I have (to a lesser degree now) those same feelings. This is an incredible podcast and I think Maronzio needs his own TedTalk, seriously.

God damn this gave me a lot of insight into my own family. I'm luckily that I was never a victim but the ripple effects of loved ones being victims has changed me and my family more than I'll ever know. Thank you for sharing this story even if it was uncomfortable for some of us to hear.

This conversation was so interesting and important. He’s amazing for sharing the way he did with just recently starting therapy. I’ve been in therapy for like 7 years and there’s still things I don’t want to share with people.

I appreciate so so so much how real this episode is, comedy and tragedy are meant to be intertwined. I look forward to every episode but this one really highlights the concept of the podcast and how good it all is.

Ryan, you make everything so much better with that laugh brother!*

Wow Ryan is wonderful interviewer! He actually lets his guest talk. This was an Awesome episode 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I love the honeydew because it is my adult version of an after school special. I always learn something that helps with the problem that week.

Maronzio!! Shot out to #YMHGANG you guys are killing it with the guest choice... Seriously... Sickle, we love you bruh, and thanks as always Mommies

"Clapping in the booth"... they gonna be disappointed.. lmfao! 🤣🤣

Also, I do the same exact thing with cleaning hotel rooms when I stay in them and I also have ocd. My boyfriend and I just went on vacation a couple weeks ago, and my boyfriend grew up rich, and I grew up poor. So he was like, why are you doing that? That’s why we pay the hotel. And I was like, absolutely not. I’m not leaving this room trashed for some poor cleaning lady to come in and be like, wtf. Cause my boyfriend is a night eater and he had chocolate all over the bed and coffee cups everywhere and stuff. And we had takeout boxes. Everyday I stripped the sheets and pillow cases, gathered the trash, cleaned out the fridge. Just got everything in a neat pile for them. It’s not hard.

Maronzio you just got a new fan. Sickler this is the best episode yet. Keep em comin!

This is probably my fave podcast, I love learning about people reflecting about their dark past and what they know and have learned about it.

Thanx for the introduction to this dude. I really enjoyed this episode! Keep up the great work Sickle Cell!

Maronzio needs to be be on after dark!! Love this guy! You are so worth investing in yourself. This took some balls and you were awesome!

"I GOT TRUTH, FROM THE BOOTH. MOTHAFUCKA." Lmao This guy has some nice little rants.

Never heard of Maronzio, but this was one of your best episodes. Very HoneyDew, and very insightful. Thanks!

Please have Maronzio Vance back.

I've said for a long time that midget humor is under rated.

Damn Maronzio, making me feel less alone out here with what he’s dealt with.

This is terrifying I'm still alive but yet it's like I died and came back as this man but we're a live at the same time my mind is just blown at how much alike we are and how terrifying that it is to hear someone saying out loud what the voice sound like in your head

I liked the guest. Intense and smart.

way to share your childhood trauma. someone in a similar situation will find inspiration and will seek help.

I don’t have the same origins but I relate to the issue of wanting everyone else to like me & how I can turn off feelings entirely once I don’t feel safe with someone. Emotionally safe. I get it. That’s hard.

I love when a comic I’ve never heard of blows me away like this. Love the ugly nakedness of his story and mind. I’m a new fan for sure. Classic episode and I almost didn’t download it!

lol. "I look like Lupe Fiasco in high school."

This is the best guest ever

So good. Related with him on so many levels. Super funny and insightful. Thanks Ryan!

I think I've found my next ex-husband...

this was a really nice podcast to listen to! As usual, Sickle Cell is holding it down and bringing some great interviewing skills mixed with a healthy dose of comedy. Maronzio Vance talked about some pretty heavy things (things that needed to be said as well has hear, especially from a male perspective) and Sickler used his host skills to keep the conversation going, not make his guest uncomfortable, and add some humor to this not so humorous topic. All that being said, Sickler is completely underrated! FTCF!!

you can see ryan actually cares about this guy at the end when he's talking about his comedy cd etc poor guy I feel for him. Great Podcast I really think he should seek more therapy he doesn't sound like he's in the best head space.

I relate with this guest so much.. gonna rewatch it for sure!

Late comer to the podcast. Ryan, you are the greatest. Maronzio was unique and authentic. One of my favorite guests so far.

Jesus this episode takes you into dark waters lol.

This is real talk and a good one at that.

43 years old? This dude turned 25 when he was 43. I ain't buying he's that old. Great podcast!

Real butter gang 🙌🤣

The HoneyDew introducing me to the best comedians! Thanks!

Great episode, this one is definitely in my top ten episodes maybe even top five. Well balanced with serious content and humor with a bit of personal flare as I’m a child of divorce so I feel that pain and I’m trying to fix that side of me

"you been eatin a lot, why is there two people in you now. Situation." IM DYING LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

honey dew yall! let's do this

My favorite episode so far. I have lot in common with this dude that I somehow never heard of before??? Most of the issues, none of the kids. Also, 1:07:41 - The first time I laughed harder and longer than Ryan.

Every time I see this notification my heart gets happy

He is FUNNY!!! Deep story, thank you for sharing and being so honest!

Dang. This was a good one. I can really relate to Maronzio, having been through a lot of the same trauma and am the same age. Thanks to him for sharing and for making us laugh, and thanks Ryan for having him on. My best to you both. :)

Woop woop! Time for that contagious laughter.

lol margarine rant was epic

"Wooo woo woo. We banging!"

38:08 That might be one of the best Sickler laughs from any episode.

Great Ep. My story is similar. Give thanks for your bravery Bro! Important to talk about this stuff.

Didn't know of you before but love you now Maronzio. You're on the pulse of the fuked up, which has always been a source of creative genius and makes for an interesting individual; in other words, you're gonna make me see the beauty of your "ugly"

One of the best sessions I've seen!

This had me in tears, what an amazing episode. He dove deep and his trust issues really hit home with me.

First time listening to this podcast ... this guest is amazing ... need phill Jackson to put me In game lmfao I’ll remember that

They need to have him on YMH! He's hilarious!

I'm all in on the Honeydew. Makes my Tuesday better every time.

I appreciate how open and honest you were in this podcast. I hope that your therapist gives you the help you need. Hang in there brother.

This was the best one yet. Maronzio is funny as fuck I think this is the hardest I've laughed during this podcast

GET MS PAT ON THE HONEYDEW Y'ALL!!!

This was an amazing podcast

Would love to see Bill Burr. Where Nia Renee Hill at? love the show

He’s so funny. Maronzio is rad af.

One of the funniest dews

I had a break though in my life.

i'm a Maronzio Vance fan now

My favorite podcast just got uploaded....... Fuck everything else

I love that they were talkin about grandfathers. I feel like kids who don't grow up with grandpas really lose out on a lot in life. My kids hardly ever get to see their grandpa and it sucks. My grandpas were both absolute heros to me

Ryan, you're great. Aside from the infectious laugh, you have a unique way about you (empathetic aura) and it's perfec for this type of venue. Thank you brotha, you are a perfect addition to the YMH family.

Never get tired of saying: "Best episode yet". Never.

Damn this guy has courage

RYAN YOUR FUCKING LAUGH KILLS ME!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This podcast was awesome. This heavy shit with funny people.

By far my favorite episode so far!!!! Keep this shit up!!!!!!!

Had never heard of Maronzio until this but I'm a fan now.

Hahahhaha. Koko B Ware. I bout lost my shit...

Loved this one. Needed this one

We fuckin.... this family. 😂😂😂

Ryan looks like a mechanic

Sickler is right, there was "midget tossing" at bars. I saw them doing it at Philly bar, around 2003. When it became illegal, Little people were protesting bc some of them made alot of money doing it.

This dudes funny as hell

Bro write that fucking book, I want to read it, I need to read it. Hearing your life story made me look into my own issues. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

I didn't even know country crock wasn't real butter

Holy shit bro, havnt laughed over this kinda trauma in a while. I'm looking up your special.

I have never experienced the situation of butter turning into oil... you leave the butter on the butter tray all day everyday till you need a need stick.... what kind of butter becomes oil at room temperature?

💙💙💙💙💙😥💙💙💙💙💙 the ah ha moments ive received from honeydew are amazing beautifully painful gifts

He said Scott Van Pelt looks like a leukemia patient 💀

Awesome guest. Laughed the whole show

Really great episode! Always look forward to Toosdee!

"if you use margarine, youre a piece of shit" - Maronzio Vance

You can tell this dude is an Eddie Murphy fan because he uses his actual material and his tone.

Shit dude I feel my guy Vance on that Superman complex, I think because my childhood was so chaotic and fucked up, I try to save all the women I end up with and it fuckin RUINS EVERYTHING. good talk dudes 👊 I hella felt this one.
