Strength Level: Bull Mastiff

Trumpet players can be sweetie pies too

This week, Super Strong Ryan invited his great friend & bad ass trumpeteer, TIMOTHY TESH!!!!

TJ is moving to Mississippi soon, but before he did that, he came & brought forth gifts of beer to the podcast.

What more could you ask for in a friend?

He survives the gauntlet of questions, makes fun of SSR's height, and makes everyone squeal with glee.

Not only is TJ a great musician, but he is a person ANYONE would be proud to have on their roster of friends.

Follow this guy in ANY way possible & yo life will be better!!

Our personal thoughts for you today:

Listen to TJ's advice at the end...for real

And be friends to people

Strength Level: The mother freakin' SUN

Another drummer in the house... but this time... it's different

This week, old friend of Super Strong Ryan, talented drummer/actor, and FREAKIN' BLUE MAN, Ethan Golub, is here to hang!!

Listen in as SSR and Ethan catch up, talk to MANY company executives, converse about beating the heat, Popsicles or naw-sicles, and so much more.

Ethan is a great dude, a very talented jack of all trades, and WELL worth checking out in any form available!!

So go check him out on social media and YouTube, his website for comedy shorts, or Blue Man Group shows ASAP!!!!!

Our personal thoughts for you today: Do something to say thank you to your momma today.... you know why.

A drummer comes to talk about the 4th of July in past tense.... from in the FUTURE?

Welcome to another whacky week of RISS, this time featuring the delightful, TOM RASULO!!!

Listen as the group sits in the studio, distracted often, and inspiring you continuously.

Super Strong Ryan has a blast throwing Tom into the gauntlet that proves to be the hardest questions Tom has ever received, and it's up to you whether or not he knocks em out of the park or not!!!

And in all seriousness, Tom and SSR had never met, and now have a very serious man friend bond that will prove (over time) to be strong and true.

Check out Tom ASAP (@tom_rasulo)and JAPAETI on IG and YouTube because they are good and you NEEEEEEED them, even though your parents constantly say you don't need them.

Our serious thoughts for you today:

Don't brush your teeth so hard! You gonna hurt your gums!!

Regular Strength Nathan is here, we have MORE new sounds brought to you by Chris Hackman & Super Strong Ryan, & we are coming to you from ON LOCATION at the home of the VERY popular podcast, "The Todd Glass Show", so that we could feature this week's special guest, comedian TODD GLASS!!

As usual, Ryan throws our guest into the hot seat & asks the hard questions.

But even though Todd said he could make the space his own, Ryan couldn't resist having Todd go crazy with bits, sound effects, & his usual wild rants! :)

It was so much fun to meet Todd & record from HIS studio, & if you like our show, DEFINITELY go check out the Todd Glass Show (which is free through the Nerdist network of shows), & his comedy ALL OVER the place (www.toddglass.com).

And if you're a new listener coming to check it out because of Todd, hey!

Whatever scent you're trying today is REALLY working for you....mmmmm daz real nice
