Ryan Is Super Strong!

Strength Level: Matell

Today, it’s freakin episode 199….I can’t even believe how far we’ve all come together!!

And this week’s guest has been around for EVERY SINGLE EPISODE!

YES!

It’s the inimitable: CHRIS HACKMAN!!!!

Chris is the best.

This is an extremely silly episode, and you get to hear Chris’ music in the intro, the outro, compliment corner, GYDBOMF, AND from his new project “Real Human Barbie”!!!

I know you guys MAY already know this man, but after this episode, you’re just gonna fully love him and want to be his new BFF.

I just know that about you, and how you’ll feel.

So when you’re done, hit IG immediately, and follow him!!! (@therealhumanbarbie)

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
200!!!

Episode 200 is NEXT FREAKIN WEEEK!!!! WOWZEEE ZOWZEEEEESS!

Strength Level: Brothers

This week, on episode 198, I invited my dear friend (and past guest) Will Reno to guest co-host, and interview his brother:

BEN RENO!!!!!!!!

Ben is an incredible actor, producer, funny man, brother, musician, and basically supertalent/jack of all trades.

YA WANNA KNOW HIM.

YA WANNA FOLLOW HIM!!

Listen as we talk about cereal mascots and it goes right over Ben’s head, listen as we revisit many of your favorite games and scream over the Zoom call, and listen to a pure example of friendship and brotherhood.

After that, go rate and review the show, and follow Ben on IG IMMEDIATELY!!! @benreno90

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
2 weeks til episode 200!!?!?!???!!! What the heck!?!?!

How did we even get here!??!?!?!!!!??

Strength Level: BFFs

Get ready for an hour and a half of straight bro love today my friends.

Today, my best friend, my best man:

JAKE HARPSTER!!!!!!!!

Jake is a MONSTER percussionist (one of my favorites), a member of the United States Army Band, a bad ass cyclist, a dog Dad, and so much damn more, it’s insane!!!

Sorry in advance for this long and super indulgent time of reminiscing and complimenting each other……and by “sorry”, I mean, shut up! 
This is a free show, and it was such a blast to hang out with my best friend, and you can just shut up!

Sorry….I really lost control there.

ANYway, this Zoom hang with my friend was MUCH needed back in May when it happened, much needed now, and at VERY least, was really fun for me to sit down and edit and listen to again.

You know what I mean?

Some friends just make ya feel good!

As soon as you’re done here, go try and find videos of Jake playing, and then follow him on IG (@jacobharpster).

One of the baddest men around!!!

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
There are a lot of old (back in May) thoughts about the Coronavirus and the situation we are all in NOW, but rather than edit them out, I kept them in as part of the “time capsule” elements of this #CORONAFILES time.

Though we’ve learned a lot since then, these were our thoughts from then, and I hope it doesn’t get ya all riled up!

Either way, today? WEAR A DAMN MASK

Strength Level: Anime!

On this week’s episode of your favorite silly pod, you’ll get to hear me sit down with my dear friend:

BOBBIE LEE CROW III

Bobbie is an incredible musician, a funny man, and just a joy to hang with.

I WISH we could have done this in person and had some drinks, but hey, when you’re dealing with a guy like Bobbie, you just take what you can get!

Zoom hang it is! :)

Make sure to follow his awesome projects (@serasymphony and @iconiquestra on IG), and stay IN THE KNOW WITH BOBBIE CROW!!!

He’s definitely a shooting star in the music biz!

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:


Sorry this episode was a bit late this week everyone!

I’ve got so little to do…..but when faced with a difficult technical snaffoo and a serious lack of motivation during the weirdest period of all of our lives…..you can be assured that the first priority was beer.

THEN editing this podcast for you all. Hahaha

Strength Level: #DRUMFAM

We’re back again this week with the Corona Files/ZOOM edition of the show, and this week featuring the wonderful:

NICK TAYLOR!!!!

Nick is a fellow Hoosier and drummer from the mid-west who is a member of the US Navy Band, a freakin BICYCLE RACER, a father of one little baby and two little pups, a husband to a lovely lovely lady (who is also a killer drummer), and so much dang more.

Nick has been on my list of guests I’ve wanted to have on the show since DAY 1!!!

So thanks Quarantine….for ONE thing. And one thing only:

Bringing me my dear friend Nick via Zoom

Make sure to follow Nick on IG (@drumznbikes), and keep up with all of his bad assery, of which I can assure you, THERE IS MUCH.

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
Episode 200 is just around the corner!!??!?!

That’s insane as all damn hell!!!!!!!

What are some things you’ve done 200 times?

Strength Level: Procrastination

We Are BACK BAYBEEEEEEE!!!!

I took a few weeks off, and you’ll hear all about that in the LONG intro on this episode.

But today, I’m bringing to you one of my dear friends who I’d wanted to have on since I started this dang thing!


Only problem is that he lives in AUSTIN, TX and we never get to dang hang out!

But thanks to the crappy corona, we got to ZOOOM hang!!

I had a blast reconnecting with Matt back when we recorded this at the beginning of quarantine, and I’m really excited for you to check him out, check out his music, and follow him immediately on all the social medias (@mathjudson on IG)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
I hope my taking a few weeks off from the show didn’t piss you off too damn bad.

I really struggled with it every week, but it just didn’t feel right.

But this week, it was quite the opposite feeling!

I miss you guys, I miss my friends and family, and I’m ready to get back to being part of each other’s lives every week.

Plenty more episodes coming your way!!!!!

No show this week

Please stay safe

Please stay focused

Please stay informed

Please donate ANY amount to funds/organizations that you find during this time

BLACK LIVES MATTER

Strength Level: Haircuts

Whooooooo-eeeeeee!!

We’ve got a GOOD one for you this week my friends.

DANIELLE WITHERS IS HERE!!!!!

Danielle is such an awesome person, energy, and super talent.

Though she is well known for backing up artists like J-LO, Justin Timberlake, Chrisette Michelle, USHER, and more and more and more bad asses, this episode features HER and HER bad-assery!!

Once you’ve met her and listened to the tunes she’s here to share today, you’re going to agree with me!

Then I hope you RUN to Instagram (@daniellerenewithers), soundcloud, youtube, etc, and become Danielle’s newest and biggest fan!!!!

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
My only thought is: I HATE QUARANTINE!!!

Can’t wait to get off of these restrictions and hang out with all of these bad ass guests again one day!!!!

Strength Level: The Mighty Chanticleer

On this week’s installment of the “Ryan is Super Strong!” Podcast, I have brought you a TRUE bad ass, recording all the way from Myrtle Beach, SC!!

DR. JESSE WILLIS IS IN THE HOUSE!!

Jesse is not only a doctor, a father, and a bad ass drummer.

In addition to all of these things, he is one of my favorite people on this very globe, and one of my closest friends.

One thing I’m very grateful about during this Corona time is that all of you get to meet even more of my bad ass friends!!!

So I hope you enjoy this episode, check Jesse Willis out in any way that you can, check out his program at Coastal Carolina University, and then feel a little closer to one of the coolest drummers walking around today!!

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
This Quarantine blows.

I hope you’re getting through is as well as you possibly can, because I KNOW it sucks!!

I’m right there with you, and so is the whole dang globe, so please know that you’re not alone, and that you are loved!!

Thanks for listening to this crazy podcast, and I hope it’s serving as a nice distraction during these weird ass times!!

Strength Level: Goodbyes

This week on RISS, we’re featuring the wonderful super talent:

VICKY FAREWELL!!!

Vicky is an incredible pianist, composer, producer, and all around bad ass, and I hope you enjoy this peak into her life.

More importantly, a peak into how she’s handling all of this crazy Coronavirus Quarantine baloney!!

You can hear her work with incredible acts like Anderson .Paak and the Free Nationals, and she is DEFINITELY an artist who you’re going to want to keep up with as the years go by, and her career continues to become even more bad ass.

Follow her on IG (@vickyfarewell), and become her newest and greatest fan TODAY!!!!

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
I hope you forgive the fact that these #Coronafiles episodes have slightly worse quality audio.

I know it’s not as warm and clear as my usual studio set up, but in these times, I think it’s worth it to document how people are getting through the days and situations that we’re faced with today, even if it’s a bit worse on the ole ear balls!

Either way, I hope you are enjoying getting this sneak peak into how the bad ass artist community is getting through their quarantines!
