What this episode covers
Ryan Muldoon—aka RyDoon, Vine OG and stand-up comic—was once the guy who could make millions laugh in six seconds. In this episode of Xanyland, Ryan gets honest about what it really took to survive himself: getting sober, digging deep into AA and Al-Anon, screaming along to Nine Inch Nails, and surrendering to the power of hypnotherapy. Now a practicing therapist who’s funnier than ever (and yes, back on stage), he opens up about rage, recovery, and how becoming a therapist made his comedy more connected. This episode is for anyone who’s ever used humor to keep it together—and is finally ready to fall apart just enough to heal.
