If Ryan isn't smiling, he always seems to be on the verge. 🙂
It's time 🎶 for something a bit more wholesome 🎶 hey , hey !😅
Happy to see Ryan. Been searching for his new special but nothing yet. Really looking forward to seeing it
Oh Tom, the bad news about Ozempic has come out, and it's YIKES!
We are designed to go through periods of feast and famine. Denying a basic drive to eat has a cost in itself, and the inability to do it can be life destroying.
Two of the funniest people around
It is very interesting to hear what “YOU” comedians go through just to put on a good show…….
Airports……Hotels….. Headliner issues…….sleep and food issues???
Dammmm…….. it makes me appreciate you guys EVEN MORE!!!
Thank you for going through ALL of that just to make us laugh and feel better!!!
Ryan seems so “even keel” type of dude….. was a perfect segway to wake up to after a night of work.
He’s hilarious!!
I’ll have to check him out!
You too are the perfect complement of each other…. FUNNY STUFF!!!
Thanks Tom….. great show!
Love you guys; great show
You guys are great! It’s really cool to be a fly on the wall for the hang. You feel more like family or a buddy when y’all are doing random topics. LOVE IT!
The best pancakes are made with batter they let sit in the walk in overnight, it rises like dough but døesnt turn into dough, it will push the liđ off its container, perkins does it too.
It is so wonderful. It has helped me so much. I still have food cravings, and still have joy of food. But I can't eat much. My brain just tells me I am full.
Yeah Tom and Ryan, that was the best. 😊
