Matt Mathews joins me this week on The HoneyDew to Highlight the Lowlights of family chaos, heartbreaking loss, and the journey to becoming his true self.
Matt shares what life was like in fourth grade when his mom, Rene, got into a fistfight with his teacher and the time she put hands on a Walmart greeter.
Matt also talks about receiving a collect call from his mom while she was in jail during his elementary school years, recounts the infamous story of Rene kicking in a sheriff’s door after discovering she’d been cheated on, and losing her when he was just 14 years old.
Matt also opens up about the woman who truly became his mom, Sheryl, how she changed his life, and the devastating loss of her to a sudden death years later.
We discuss his lifelong love of horses and barrel racing, growing up in a deeply religious environment, and how those influences led him to discover and embrace his sexuality much later in life.
Check out Matt on his world tour, and his video series Farm Chores.

My HoneyDew this week is legendary comedian, actor, and television host Howie Mandel!
Howie Highlights the Lowlights of living with ADHD and OCD. We discuss how his OCD diagnosis became public after an interview with Howard Stern and what it’s been like navigating mental health in the public eye.
We also talk about Howie’s incredible career—from the voice behind Gizmo in Gremlins, to one of the first comedians to become a game show host, and becoming the longest-running judge in America’s Got Talent history.
It’s a funny, honest, and fascinating conversation about comedy, mental health, television, and one of entertainment’s most unique careers.
Check out Howie’s Podcast, Howie Mandel Does Stuff.
SUBSCRIBE to The HoneyDew for new episodes every week Highlighting the Lowlights with comedians, actors, musicians, and more.
