Super Human Fathers

Ryan Gehmlich: I got to the
end of the, of the set, like,

number 200, right at exactly six
minutes, like, right at my goal.

Um, but of course, those last 30.

Air squats were just insanity.

And, uh, and then I pretty
much just collapsed and I

fell on the floor in the gym.

I didn't pass out, but it was, um, just
this horrible, intense headache, um,

that just shot in the back of my brain.

I could feel it like right in this
like pinpoint location in my brain.

And I was just like, Oh crap.

Not good.

And, you know, I, after laying there on
the floor for, I don't know, five, 10

minutes, I finally was able to get up.

Ryan Carnohan: This,
today, is about Ryan G.

Um, it's his Transformation Day.

How you doing, Ryan?

Ryan Gehmlich: I'm doing well.

Just got to my hotel here in
Kansas City, made it just in time.

Yeah, man.

Ryan Carnohan: Dude, I, I, I
can't even tell you, like, I've

been waiting for this moment.

Like,

since

you, since you signed up, like, I

knew instantly, bro.

I knew it was gonna happen.

And then we hit some, well, we're
gonna get into this, obviously.

Let's not get into it quite yet.

But there were some obstacles.

And I don't think I've ever seen anybody
respond to something so Potentially

scary or at least like an injury because
everyone gets something right like oh I

pulled my back or uh, my tummy hurts or
uh, you know I stubbed my toe or broke

a finger like whatever but dude like you
were taken completely out of the game

and yet You still hit your macros, and
so we're gonna jump into that a little

bit and how you're able to do that.

Kyle Carnohan: I just wanted to say,
I'm going over my core values tonight.

I'm going on, I don't know what, a

16 hour day so far?

Ryan Carnohan: I didn't
even see you in here,

Kyle!

Let's go!

Kyle Carnohan: I got a podcast
right after this that'll put me at

like 19 hours straight of grind.

And then I'm going deep into our
mission statement and core values.

And I, Ryan, I want you to
know that one of our core core

values will be because of you.

Um,

you embody it.

And, uh, I just had
that epiphany right now.

So thank you.

You saved

me like 30 minutes.

Ryan Carnohan: Let's go.

I mean, this is just fire.

So, so what, let's get, let's go
ahead and just get started, you

know, um, right out the gates.

I know people, we know
you, you know what I mean?

But like,

give us just a quick background,

like the reader's digest of who is Ryan.

I mean, and Ryan's, we kill this program.

I don't know what it is, you know?

Jared Sluman: Let's go.

So real quick, you know, maybe who,
let's give us a little backstory,

like who you are, where you come from.

And what made

Ryan Carnohan: you join the program?

Ryan Gehmlich: So, my name's Ryan Gemlich.

I, uh, I'm

Ryan Carnohan: from...

I always say it wrong.

That's why I say Ryan G.

Just so everyone knows.

Ryan Gehmlich: It's not an easy one.

Um, so yeah, I'm from
Livermore, California.

And, uh, I'm a mechanical engineer.

I work in, uh, defense.

Um, which is why I'm out here
in Kansas City this week.

Um, but yeah, why did I join the program?

So, this goes back to last December.

And if you've read my post, you've
kind of got a taste of this already.

But, um...

You know, I, I've been working out
for a long time and, and, you know,

trying to make some effort to build
strength and, and, you know, ideally

look better too and all that stuff.

But, um, anyway, so back in
December, I was in the gym and,

and, uh, you know, pushing up.

Some heavy squats, and I get this call

that my house is on fire from a neighbor,
and I had no idea if my family was okay.

Um,

so I just, I pretty much like
dropped everything and just

ran out of the, out of the gym.

You know, I'd, I'd walked there, and
so it was a sprint to get to the house.

0.

3 miles.

That's it.

0.

3 miles.

And I, I could see.

My house, you know, this just pillar
of smoke and flames coming from

the roof of my house, and I still
could not sprint all the way there.

I was out of breath.

And here I'm thinking, you know,
I don't know if my kids are okay.

I don't know if my wife got out.

Like, I had no idea what was going
on as I was running toward the house.

And, and so, you know, In that
moment that it hit me as like,

dang it, I'm out of shape.

And if I had to run to save my
family like right now, I can't do it.

I'm just not there.

And, and, you know, it
wasn't like I wasn't trying.

But, um, anyway, so that was sort of
like step one as to how I got into this.

I knew, you know, after Getting
through the brunt of the fire and,

you know, replacing everything
and, you know, whatever, like we

got into a new house and whatnot.

Um, but after a few months, you know,
starting to get settled in, Um, I knew

it was time to work on me, um, and you
know, not just certainly my fitness,

um, but, you know, other areas too.

I mean, I think one of the
realizations that I had, you know,

having my family, you know,
in peril was that they are the

most important thing to me.

And so I have to be present
and I have to be, you know, the

best man that I can be for them.

I'm sorry.

Let's go.

Ryan Carnohan: No, no apologies.

Keep it coming, bro.

This is just, I just love this so much.

Like I'm so fired up just thinking
about peril, like everywhere.

Like how symbolic, you know,

Kyle Carnohan: Ryan, do you notice
something that the men that win this

game, they're tapped into something
deeper that they have an emotional side.

All of them,

every single one of them.

Think about that.

Ryan Gehmlich: So, um, anyway, a few
months go by and, you know, it's, it's

March, um, starting to go back to work.

I mean, I'd started already ahead of that,
ahead of that, but, you know, starting

to get to a place where I could actually,
you know, function in life again.

I started trying to eat right, you know,
started counting calories on my own.

I've done it before.

I've lost weight.

Um, I wanted to be able to fit in my
pants, you know, that was my first goal.

And so as I'm doing this and starting
to lose weight, I think I lost,

you know, 10 pounds on my own or
something, um, with a goal in mind of

like, Oh, I think I can get to like
195, you know, like, that's my goal.

If I can get below 200, solid.

Right.

And, you know, that's my goal.

That's my goal.

Um, and, but then I see this
post from Ryan Christianson.

I don't say that right.

Sorry.

Ryan Seed.

Anson, I think, something like that.

I don't know if he's on here.

I'll forgive you all.

It's Christianson.

Jared Sluman: There we go.

Christianson.

He's here!

My family argues about it.

Let's go!

Some say Christianson, some say

Ryan Gehmlich: Christianson.

Jared Sluman: This is so good.

Ryan Carnohan: I love it, dude.

Keep

Ryan Gehmlich: going, Ryan.

I see Ryan, you know, he's
gone from dad bod to just

completely shredded in 80 days.

And, you know, like, we have a
few things in common, you know?

He's a family man.

He's got kids and, you know, busy career,
I'm sure, and, you know, we haven't been

close for, you know, a couple decades,
but, um, but, you know, like, I'm looking

at him and saying if he can do it.

I can, I could do that, right?

Like, or something close to it.

Um, and, uh, so I contacted him.

He, got me Kyle's info, talked to Kyle.

Um, you know, and I, I don't, Kyle, you
probably remember that first conversation.

I was like, oh, I'm gonna,
I'm about to have surgery.

You know, like I, I, I don't know
if now's a good time, like , , it's

always a, a re you know, whatever.

But

Ryan Carnohan: resistance always is there.

Ryan Gehmlich: Um, ultimately, I.

I decided that, you know, if I had
the support of my wife, that I would

just do it and, and do whatever
it took to just make it happen.

And I told Kyle, I remember, you know,
when I signed up, I was like, you just

tell me what to do and I'll do it.

And, you know, the caveat in my head was
I'll, and I'll do it perfectly, you know,

and I don't think I said that, but, um.

And so, yeah, that's what started it.

Uh, that's how I joined up, I

Ryan Carnohan: guess.

Awesome.

And so let's, let's, before we get
in deeply, let's kind of look at

some of the success you've had.

So what was your starting weight
and how much weight did you lose?

You can, you can count like,
you know, you can take those

10 pounds off if you want, you

know, cause I know he's very
calculated, you guys got to see

this guy's graph, like it's,

it's so good.

Everything is perfectly planned.

Anyways, continue.

Ryan Gehmlich: Uh, so yeah, I started
at 215, but, you know, I've been as

high as 230 in the past, you know,
my weight tends to fluctuate a lot

with my stress levels and whatnot.

Um, at least it did in the past.

Mm hmm.

And, um, and so that's where I started.

And you said, where did I end up?

Ryan Carnohan: Yeah, what
was your bottom weight?

Ryan Gehmlich: Well, I, I want
to say kind of what my goals

were along the way, because...

Sure.

Hey, let's play.

Ryan Carnohan: I, this is your night, bro.

You take it.

Go ahead.

Share.

Ryan Gehmlich: I love it.

It changed dramatically over time.

And, you know, initially it was,
like I said, it was just that I want

to get below 200 pounds so I can
fit in my size 36 pants, you know?

So good.

So then, then I thought, well...

For a long time in the early years of
my marriage, I was hovering around 185.

I think I can do that, you
know, so I pushed it, made it.

And then I was like, you know
what, when I got married, I

was 175 and pushed it, made it.

And by that point, Like I knew how
to do it, you know, and, and so it

was just like, why don't we just go
all the way and, and lose it all.

Lose all the fat.

Why not?

And actually be able to see my abs.

Um, and so I, my final weight,
uh, the lowest was, uh, 162.

Savage,

Ryan Carnohan: dude.

That's just, and you guys
have seen his pictures, like.

That's

Jared Sluman: awesome, bro.

Let me just say that's incredible.

Ryan Carnohan: Great job.

No joke.

Like this is.

The beastly and he can lift weight too,
which is fun, but so before I think we

should go into the story first before
I start asking questions, Ryan, I think

maybe I'll jump to the question of
like, what was the biggest obstacle?

And maybe this wasn't maybe I'm
assuming, but, you know, give us the,

uh, okay, so the air squats, we have
like, you know, Like you would do a

200 air squats straight, you know,
it's kind of like a rite of passage

or something, you know, at least at
the time and, um, Ryan Christiansen.

Like him and I

Jared Sluman: were going at it.

We do it with the

Ryan Carnohan: bar, you know,
like competing with each other

Jared Sluman: on the
BOSU ball or whatever.

And so

Ryan Carnohan: Ryan, cause he's
another Ryan, which we're savages, I

guess, he kind of connects with this.

And so he goes ham on the air squats.

And so kind of, I'm going to
leave it from there, Ryan, what,

what, what happened and, um,
maybe just give us a little story.

And what was your response?

Okay.

That's kind of what I'm looking for.

Ryan Gehmlich: Yeah, go for it.

First week of the program, you know, I
see this first week, the big change for

me in terms of my workouts was I was
doing a lot of heavy, you know, five

by five only workouts like trying to
make the most of my time in the gym,

you know, three to four times a week.

And so I was squatting a
lot, three times a week.

Squat was, was every workout
pretty much I was doing squats.

And so when this thing came up of like 200
air squats, I was like, Oh, I got that.

It's easy.

You know, there's no weight on
the bar or no, there's no weight.

Like it's just me.

And so I think the first day I tried it,
it was, uh, I did it in half minutes.

And.

You know, it was a lot harder than I
thought, but, you know, I got through it.

So then, uh, week two, um, I was like, all
right, I gotta do better than last time.

And of course, by this time I'm hearing
about Ryan, the Ryans, you know,

and their, their time at the bar.

And I'm like, holy crap.

So I got it done in seven and a
half, I think week, two minutes.

And then week three I was
like, I can do it under six.

And so I just pushed it, like,
really hard, and, um, you know,

maybe this is easy for some of you
guys, but, you know, I was still,

I don't know, close to 200 pounds.

This is wild!

Like, it was, it's insane.

And, uh, and so I just, like,
pushed all the way through it.

I got to the end of the, of the set,
like, number 200, right at exactly

six minutes, like, right at my goal.

Um, but of course, those last 30.

Air squats were just insanity.

And, uh, and then I pretty
much just collapsed and I

fell on the floor in the gym.

I didn't pass out, but it was, um, just
this horrible, intense headache, um,

that just shot in the back of my brain.

I could feel it like right in this
like pinpoint location in my brain.

And I was just like, Oh crap.

Not good.

And, you know, I, after laying there on
the floor for, I don't know, five, 10

minutes, I finally was able to get up.

And, uh, you know, I, I think I had
a bunch of lifts left that day and

I just kept going, you know, and I
was like, ah, this really hurts my

head, but I think I'm recovering.

And so I, you know, I got better.

Anyway, I ended up going home, going
to work, you know, was doing okay,

more or less the first day, second
day, same thing, go to the gym.

Pushed all my lifts, did everything,
just with this splitting, horrible

headache, like, worse than I've ever
had, it didn't go away throughout the

night, you know, I could hardly sleep,
um, and then, by the third day, it was

so bad, um, you know, the very first
lift, I, I felt this shooting pain

again, like, right in the same spot,
and I was like, I can't do this anymore.

Like I got to stop.

And so I, you know, I set up a visit
with a doctor for the following

day, met with them and, you know,
they did all these cognitive tests,

you know, try to make sure that
my brain didn't actually explode.

Um, and they pretty much gave me
a clean bill of health and said,

just rest for a couple of days.

And I said, okay, I really didn't
want to, you know, I was like,

I was in it and, and it had.

The workouts were non
negotiable at this point.

And, you know, I was like, if I can
push through this, I will, you know,

and, um, so, yeah, I think I, I went
to work the next day as well and,

and just absolutely felt horrible.

And then by Saturday.

I got up and I was like, all
right, I'm just going to walk,

just, that's it, just light walk
for like 20 minutes, which I did.

And as soon as I stopped walking,
the, uh, the room just started

spinning and I got super dizzy and
nauseous and I just felt horrible.

Like this, this sort of
fog came into my brain.

And, uh, at that point.

Alright, I gotta, I gotta go to the
ER and figure out what's going on.

Cause like, my face started going
numb, my arms started going numb.

Like, I was like, there's something
seriously screwed up with my brain.

And um, so I went to the ER, they ended up
doing like a, A CT angiogram, um, looking

for a brain bleed, um, they did a spinal
tap to look for blood in my, in my, I

actually did five horribly painful spinal
taps, uh, to the point where I was like,

cause I couldn't get the needle in there,

Ryan Carnohan: you know, probably
didn't hurt as bad as the air squats.

So you kind of prepared for that, I guess.

Ryan Gehmlich: told the doctor, I
was like, just let me die right now.

Like, just stop.

Like, I will just die.

I don't care.

Ryan Carnohan: This is so gnarly.

Okay, so continue.

Jeez.

Ryan Gehmlich: It just didn't get
better, and, you know, and the, by the

end of the day, they, they, they said
that my, my, um, spinal tap was clean,

there was no visible blood, I guess,
in my, um, cerebral, cerebral fluid,

um, the CT angiogram, they didn't see
anything, um, which is the most sensitive

test for, you know, certain types of
things like aneurysms and whatnot, um,

Clots, you know, that was sort of the
next thing they wanted to look for.

Um, so I had to go back
for an MRI, later an MRV.

And so this is going on like a whole
bunch, a whole bunch of tests, a bunch

of imaging over the next couple of
weeks and they found nothing, but I'm

not functional, like I can't even go
to work and I can't even like, I can

barely walk to the bathroom, you know?

And then of course, speaking of bathroom.

At this point, our entire family
comes down with the flu and

it's like the worst flu ever.

There's kids puking in place.

My wife is puking.

I'm puking.

And I mean, it was just
on top of everything else.

It was just like completely miserable.

Um, although it was great for my weight
loss, but, um, and then, yeah, so I go

over once the doctor sort of gave me.

You know, like, hey, you don't
have a CVST, like a blood clot

in your brain, you don't have...

You know, a major brain bleed, you know,
I've talked to neurologists like nobody

could explain it But I just had this sort
of fog in my head and it wasn't COVID

by the way If that is a question, there
was I was certainly tested for that.

But

Ryan Carnohan: while this was
going on He's communicating

with me and he's hitting his
macros Like he's still doing it.

It's insane

Ryan Gehmlich: Other, like the two days
or three days that I couldn't eat anything

at all, you know, I, I hit my macros.

Like,

Ryan Carnohan: if you're wondering, like,
yeah, he hit them and he's communicating

with me and I'm feeling like, shoot,
like, what are we going to do?

Like, he can't go to the gym.

I was like, there's no way, like,
he's gonna, I, I, you know, I,

not that I didn't have faith, but
I was like, this, it's inhuman.

And then he tells me, so he starts going

back to the gym, and it's like, baby,
like, it's like he gave himself rehab,

again, like, Like, he started from the

bottom, this is, it's insane, so keep
going, so, okay, so you got, you, you got,

Kyle Carnohan: This is the essence
of the core value I'm speaking of.

This is the relentless attack
of the superhuman father.

So, understand, this is what it will
take for you to become that man.

This.

Non negotiable,

relentless, the most valid
of excuses, means nothing

to us.

Yeah, dude.

So good.

Savage.

Ryan Carnohan: So, okay.

So we go back, we start the process again.

How does that work?

What does that look like?

Ryan Gehmlich: It was
pretty ugly for a while.

I mean, for weeks and weeks, uh, you
know, I felt terrible all the time.

I didn't think I was ever going to
come out of this fog in my head, like,

whatever it was, nobody could explain
it, um, in the end they called it a

brain event, and that's the best they
could do, that's kind of a cop out in my

opinion, but, um, but yeah, um, or no,
they called it a significant brain event.

Ryan Carnohan: Add a little
significance to it, that's good.

Ryan Gehmlich: I started trying
to go back to the gym and at first

I was honestly just going back
just to, just to make the habit.

I didn't even do anything,
I just showed up.

And just sat there and let's go
because I didn't want to lose that

habit of like the early morning
wake ups and you know, all of that.

I just sort of, I might walk
around, I might pick up a couple

little dumbbells here and there,
but I couldn't do anything.

You know, like the slightest amount
of exertion would, would just put me

into a headspin and I'd be all dizzy
and just feel horrible all day long.

Ryan Carnohan: Talk
about going to failure.

It's beautiful.

It's so beautiful.

Like he was doing what he
this message is insane.

Please eat this up, guys.

Keep going.

Keep going, Ryan.

You're

Ryan Gehmlich: killing it.

And then, I don't remember exactly, so, so
this thing happened in, at the beginning

of May, and I think it was probably by

Ryan Carnohan: Craig says you make him

feel like a pussy.

Ha ha ha!

That's so good.

Keep going.

Keep

going.

It

Ryan Gehmlich: was probably by
the beginning of July, I guess.

I don't remember the exact dates, but, um,
where I started to feel a little bit back

to normal, um, where I So how many months?

So

Ryan Carnohan: July, so
what month did we start?

How many months have we
been battling this monster?

How many weeks?

Basically, like,

Ryan Gehmlich: I'd say eight
weeks where it was just awful.

Ryan Carnohan: Eight.

Weeks!

You guys.

Doesn't budge.

Undeniable.

Keep going.

Ryan Gehmlich: Um, during that
time, I mean, I'll just say, like,

it didn't It didn't change the
trajectory of my weight loss at all.

Like not even slightly.

And I, I tracked, you know,
I, I weigh myself every day.

I track it.

I mean, if you saw my, my plot that I
made, I was, I was keeping track of it.

And, uh, anyway,

Ryan Carnohan: so, so how did you
ensure that you were going to hit

those weight loss goals, even though
you couldn't be, you couldn't, you

weren't tackling the resistance
exercise at the level that you wanted.

Ryan Gehmlich: I mean, it helped a lot,
I'll say, to come into the Zooms and

just listen to the savages around me.

Um, I think for me, I, that was something
that was completely unexpected for me.

I, I thought going into this,
like, okay, this is about fitness.

I'm going to just do whatever
the coaches tell me to do.

And, and that's, that's the end of it.

And, you know, like, okay, so
they have these zoom calls.

I probably don't have time for that.

So I'm not going to do that.

But, but, um, I gotta say

it helped me get through a dark time, you
know, internally, because it was pretty

depressing to like face the thought of I'm
going to live the rest of my life without.

full brain capacity and, you
know, have, be in this sort of

fog, you know, not disperse.

Ryan Carnohan: I mean, he
has, he has a PhD guys.

So like, he has a brain.

Amazing, dude.

So, okay.

And so you're in the Zoom calls.

What, what, what made the
Zoom calls so special?

Like, what were you getting out of them?

Like, how did they help you?

Ryan Gehmlich: I think it was just
inspiring, I guess, um, to hear stories

and, and, you know, to hear people.

open up about their deepest issues,
you know, and, and their, their

deepest concerns and, and then get
help, you know, like this is not

something that men typically do.

You know, and even, even in forums
where they normally should be able to,

you know, I felt like that's, um, I
mean, that was something that really

helped me, um, get through that time.

Ryan Carnohan: And so it pushed you,
you know, you're able to do that.

So, and what it supported you
in continually, continually

pushing throughout this painful
experience, but also you leverage

the macros, I imagine, right?

You're very meticulous.

Yeah, so you guys see that if you're
not hitting, if you're not dropping

weight, dude, all you can do at
times, he couldn't even walk right.

Resistance training is

to build muscle.

Okay, it's to send a message
to your body to retain muscle.

So you

guys are trying to lose
weight by lifting weights.

You're gonna fail.

Okay, this is a this is a
piece that he was completely

missing.

And yet, yeah.

was able to drop weight because
he was so tight on his macros.

Let's go.

Absolutely inspiring.

Alright, let's dig in a little bit deeper.

So, you get to start going to the gym
again, you work your way up, um, and now,

now you're lifting, are you only, I mean,
for your weight, I think this is probably

the most you've ever lifted, right?

For how heavy you are?

Or, or are we close?

Like if, if we compare body weight.

Ryan Gehmlich: Um, I did get pretty close.

I mean, I would say strength wise, I'm
not to where I was before all of this.

Got it.

Sure.

It's still taking time.

And, and the training's just not
like geared toward that, or at least

it hasn't been for the most part.

Like, Yeah, sure.

You know, low, low, uh, low rep.

Yeah.

Ryan Carnohan: Yeah, not
that stack of five by fives.

Ryan Gehmlich: That's all I was doing,
you know, so yeah, I was getting strong.

But, um, but you know, not getting that
definition and I was never able to pair.

The getting strong part with the
good nutrition at the same time.

I could do one or the other, but I could
never seem to get both at the same time.

So,

Ryan Carnohan: so outside of fitness
and finding that, you know, body

fat percentage that you didn't
even know you were looking for, but

you're a savage and you found it.

What is the, you know, one or two
biggest things you've taken away from

Superhuman Fathers and how has it blessed

Ryan Gehmlich: your life?

So let me just, I wanted to
pull up, let's see, where is it?

Ryan Carnohan: He's
meticulous, my friend, see?

Ryan Gehmlich: He's prepared.

Told you.

Um, so for me, It was, it was definitely
the, uh, and again, like this was very

unexpected, um, but taking part in the
zoom calls and learning how to be a

better father and how to, and how to be
a better husband outside of the fitness.

But just, um, you know, it's not
like I, I'm a, I've been an impatient

father overall or an impatient
husband, or I feel like overall.

I've tried, you know, pretty hard
in that area over the course of

our marriage and family life.

Um, but was I present?

No.

Was I like 100% present for everything?

No.

I was in La La Land half the time.

You know, and, and I think that was,
you know, we, we talked a lot about love

languages and stuff through, you know,
all these different zoom calls and, and,

you know, I've read those books and,
you know, I've, you know, made efforts

to improve my marriage before, but I
think it just never really clicked how

important it was to my wife that when
she speaks that I listened to her and.

And, and I'm 100% present, like, for
all the things that we do as a family.

I mean, you know, I'm the guy that would
show up to the kids soccer games because

that's what you're supposed to do.

But was I present there?

No.

I didn't grow up playing sports.

I didn't care.

I don't care.

You know, like, honestly, like,
sports are just whatever for me.

A brain with muscles.

I started being more...

More present and, and showing up and,
you know, not making, not having to

make an excuse every time I'm late
coming home because guess what?

I stopped being late
coming home from work.

Wow!

Ryan Carnohan: Josh,
that hit me right in the

Jared Sluman: heart.

Let's go,

Ryan Gehmlich: dude.

I said, you know what?

This is the time that I
am contracted to be here.

You know, of course, you
know, it's a salary job, so

there's lots of flexibility.

But like, instead of, you know, trying
to please everybody at work, over every

little thing, because that's just my
personality, I said, you know what?

The most important people that
I have to please in my life are

right in front of me every day.

And they're the ones that matter, you
know, like all this other stuff, it's

a job, you know, like it's important,
you know, like I, the job that I do is

important for our national security.

It's about having a
deterrent for our enemies.

And so I've taken that to heart
over the years and, you know,

put in a lot of extra time when.

I probably could have got away with
doing less, honestly, and other

people should have taken up the slack.

Um, but yeah, it was just sort of
putting, putting that into focus and, and

being there, being there in the morning
when I'm needed, being, being there

in the evening when I'm most needed.

You know, those, those hours between.

Um, you know, dinnertime and bedtime where
you, as a father, you have to be present.

Um, and I can't always be, cause I'm,
you know, traveling and whatnot, but,

um, but when I'm there, I'm there.

And, and so I wanted to read, if you saw
my post, you might've seen this, but this

is just something that my wife wrote.

Um, she said, I'm so proud of you, Ryan.

You started with a goal
and you crushed it.

Then you crushed another
one and another and another.

It's motivated me to be more disciplined
in my own approach to my health.

And I've already seen results
with Whitney at Warrior Moms.

So this is, you know, this is four months
after I've, I've lost 40 pounds by now.

Um,

you know, our family had
been through some stuff.

Um, so she says, and while I love
all of your shredded new muscles,

I actually love The changes to your
attitude more, um, superhuman fathers

for anyone wanting to get out of
a slump approaches the whole man.

And I noticed immediately the
difference in my husband's attitude

toward me and our children.

He's more present, more
committed, more intentional.

And despite having the most difficult
year of my life, in terms of personal

tragedy, it has been the best.

Year of our marriage.

This is new, in part, to Ryan deciding
and having the support to step up

and show up every day for his family.

I love you.

So, that's it.

Right there.

Ryan Carnohan: Damn.

Ryan Gehmlich: Dude,

Jared Sluman: yes.

Just, uh.

Yes, Ryan Gimlish.

This is so good.

Just

Kyle Carnohan: sit in
this for a second, guys.

Just sit in this for a second.

Give it, let's give it a
minute, I want you to let this

soak in, and just feel this,

everything points back
to this, everything.

Let's go, beautiful.

Ryan Gehmlich: And it comes to, to macros.

It starts, it

Ryan Carnohan: starts with macros.

That's what Ryan Christiansen said,

Kyle Carnohan: in, in his he was
like, I came here to get ripped, and

He talks about how he found so much
more and, and he's like, and it all

started with the macros.

It's so weird.

Ryan Carnohan: So, okay, we've talked
about your relationship with you and

your wife and being present in the home.

Um, how about your, just how you feel
about yourself as your position as

father and leader in your family?

How's that changed?

And what does the change stem from?

This is a new cloud.

This was ran.

I didn't prep you for this question.

It just came at you, bro.

So

this is inspired.

Ryan Gehmlich: Um, I mean,
certainly I think my confidence

is completely different.

Um, and, and, uh, you know,
that's just I think already

all the ways of life, I guess, you
know, I, I just, I'm approaching life

with, with just a different energy.

Um, that includes all of my
kids and, and everything too.

And, and I think, you know, I've talked
for years, you know, I've, I have a son.

David, all he wants to eat is cereal, you
know, and I've told him for years, you

got to eat some protein.

And this is before
doing any of the macros.

It's like, eat something else in
your diet so that you can, you know,

whatever, like grow and, and, uh, have
energy and whatever, like be healthy.

Um, he never listened.

And, and, uh, You know, before.

Now he listens.

Let's go.

Um, my son, Jacob, like,
you know, he's a great kid.

He's 15.

Um, I think he was, he was interested,
I guess, in seeing my progress

over all this time, but it wasn't
until the day that I posted that

he was like, Oh, that's my dad.

I'm doing.

Yeah, that's my dad.

And I'm going to do whatever he says.

And, and, uh, You know, I'm
going to get my own ads.

And so we, yeah, we started having
a little competition in there for

a while, but you know, like he's
been hitting macros every day.

So

Kyle Carnohan: that, that lady that,
um, reached out to me about her son, do

Ryan Gehmlich: you know about her?

Right.

Kyle Carnohan: So my son's been
coaching a lady's son who knows Ryan.

And, um, he just, he's, he's, he,
I think he's down like 10 pounds

or something, this kid, and he's
been struggling with weight for a

Ryan Gehmlich: long time.

He struggled when he was a
baby, you know, I remember.

Kyle Carnohan: Inspired by Ryan's
transformation, when he was asking

my son yesterday, hey, do you have
healthy, uh, Thanksgiving meals?

Because I want to hit my
macros on Thanksgiving.

Ryan Carnohan: Let's go, dude.

He's 14?

Is he 13 or

Ryan Gehmlich: 14?

He's, he, I think he's only 12, 12 or 13.

Okay.

Yeah.

So

Kyle Carnohan: it's crazy when we talk
about how your transformational effect

people you would never even expect.

This is how this works.

And so remember, if you don't
follow through, whose life

were you supposed to save?

And you didn't.

Remember that.

Next time you don't want to follow
through with what you said you would do.

There's a greater calling for you.

You have it right here, the proof.

Ryan Carnohan: And you know what, Kyle?

Now this may be voodoo, guys,
but I really believe this.

Cuz you can get in the shame cave
if you're not careful with this

cuz you're like, oh, I already lost
so many humans Dude, they're just

still in the dark, bro Yeah, they're

just

cold and like have their hands
out so would you please just

put yourself in this the state

of being like Ryan G has gimlitch
and just Would you reach out and grab

their hands with your unwavering,
savage follow through, even when

you can't walk because your brain
feels like there's a knife in it?

Please.

Beautiful.

Okay.

Uh, I got more questions.

Kyle, do you have anything?

I, I see it in your face.

I feel like there's
something, you know, I'm just

spitballing core values
while we're, okay, perfect.

Then

I'll ask my questions because
that'll guide it for you.

Okay.

So, all right.

You have somebody who's
new to this program.

Okay.

What is your, I mean, it
could be a few things.

That's fine.

But just advice.

I need help, Brian.

I just started.

You know, what should I...

What should I do or think about or
what, what's my energy, whatever,

what do I need to prepare?

Ryan Gehmlich: So I think first up I
would say Participate as much as you

can Because I think that you know just
jumping in headfirst Which is really what

I did and and I think it's what you have
to do really to be successful is just

jump in Do as much as you can, as early
as you can, but, you know, obviously

with the idea of, of, uh, progressive
overload and with everything and that,

I mean, that might include macros too.

I mean, for me, I, I started
day one, hitting macros,

like I was like, I'm ready.

Let's just, just tell me
what to do and I'll do it.

I'll get my scale out.

I'm going to measure this and I'm
going to make it happen, like to

the gram or pretty dang close.

Ryan Carnohan: And look
at his weight loss trend.

I'm telling you guys, just powering

Ryan Gehmlich: those macros.

Um, And, you know, it wasn't, I think
a big part of it too was like, figuring

out how to just squash all of my excuses
that I've used for so many years.

Ooh,

Ryan Carnohan: now
we're getting somewhere.

Help me, Ryan.

I have so many.

How do you squash

Ryan Gehmlich: them?

I mean, you know,

I, I kind of know the science behind
this to some degree, like I'm not

a nutritionist or whatever, but
it's like, okay, I know what I need

to eat and what I need to not eat.

I knew that already, really.

Um, but like, how do you get
the discipline to maintain

that through all of the.

The chaos in life, you know, like I'm on
a trip right now and normally I would have

shown up, um, in Kansas City, starving,
and first thing I'd want to do is stop

at a Chipotle and have a giant burrito
or like a bowl or something, you know,

probably like 1500 calories, 60 grams
of fat, you know, like, I don't know.

But we're all

Ryan Carnohan: so hungry right now, Ryan.

Ryan Gehmlich: Keep going.

But, you know, instead of doing that,
I, uh, stopped it at a grocery store

on the way to the hotel and I grabbed
everything I needed for the week

that I couldn't pack in my suitcase.

And so I have my yogurt, I have
my grapes, I have my, you know,

raspberries, like all the good stuff.

And, um, You know, all the protein, I've
got the chicken, you know, I'm, I'm ready

like for the whole week and I'm weird.

I'm weird.

I mean, I go up to the meetings and
everybody's just downing peanut M&

Ms, which is my favorite, by the way.

And, uh, you know, all kinds of snacks.

And then they go out and have
this huge lunch all together.

And I, I show up with my little lunchbox
filled with, with Ziploc bags of ice

from the hotel, uh, to keep it cool.

And I eat my chicken sandwich, my,
my open faced chicken sandwich.

And, uh, and, and I'm
weird, but you know what?

It works.

And, and I can, I can do this.

I can, you know, go on these trips and.

Hit my macros perfectly, you know, um,
same with like family events and, and

eating out and everything else, like
there's ways to do it, you know, you can,

uh, I don't know, like one of the, one
of the things for me, if you're really in

a bind or whatever, it's like, find the
subway, like there's gotta be a subway

around, six inch double turkey sandwich,
take off half the bread and you're there.

You know, just throw away the bread.

You don't need it.

You know, especially when you're down
in the cut, like when I was at 1450 for

like, what, eight weeks or whatever.

Ryan Carnohan: Dude, he tortured himself.

I mean, I want to say that I
tortured him, but he would, he would

pester me and he'd be like, okay.

Okay.

Cause he, he already knew this stuff.

Honestly, there's things that Ryan
knows that I don't about this stuff.

Okay.

Like this is my favorite thing about him.

And yet he was humble enough to
be like, Hey, can we do this?

And I was like, hell yeah, we can do this.

Let's go.

And it's just so fun and so exciting
to watch this and to be weird.

Like.

If you're not weird, that's one
of our core values, I believe.

Right, Kyle?

You know?

Get weird.

Yeah, we're gonna keep that one.

Oh, we are?

Good.

Good.

I'm glad.

So, um, but if you're not different,
you're not, you know, you gotta live like

a savage to have the results a savage has.

And I, it's so fun.

Go, Ryan.

Ryan Gehmlich: I wrote this
in my post, but you can't,

the equation doesn't work out.

You can't eat like a typical American.

You just can't and have a family and,
you know, uh, have a career and, you

know, provide properly and be there for
the people that need you in your life.

Like there's, you can't do it all.

You can't out exercise.

or out workout, you
know, what you're eating.

If you're eating like a typical
American, it just, it doesn't work.

There's not enough time in
the day, not enough hours.

And so we, you know, we
work hard in this program.

We, you know, we, we do a lot, probably
more than, than, you know, most

people around us fitness wise, but
like, um, it won't make a difference.

I mean, you guys have all seen it.

The people at the gym who are there day
in day out months and months and months.

I, I see the same people every day and
some of them are, haven't changed a

bit, you know, in the whole time I've,
I've, I've been in the gym and had my

whole transformation, you know, and so
like, that's the part of the equation

you just got to get down and, and
then everything else falls into place.

Ryan Carnohan: Amazing.

So how about we do this, Ryan?

I'm going to see if there's anything
else that you want to share with the

team, because I know that there's
going to be some questions, I think.

So I want to leave a little time for
that, but is there anything that I,

and I want you to actually think here,
because you are aligned right now.

So is there anything that you
feel like the men should know?

Like, if you were to teach him
something or, I mean, you've got most

of it out, but, you know, anything
that you feel like you need to say.

Ryan Gehmlich: I don't know, I mean...

Be a savage?

Just be a savage.

Just do it.

No, just, just be, be the discipline.

Jared Sluman: Be the discipline!

Ryan Gehmlich: Inspire those around you.

Ryan Carnohan: Inspire,
I, I love that, dude.

That is so good.

Okay, my friends.

Uh, if you have, there's been hands,
so we're gonna, Jay's had his hand up

for a while, and then we'll hit Greg.

Go for it.

Go J, Mr.

Three Stripe Brown Belt, O.

G.

Fightwear, hey, I gotta order
a shirt from you, text me,

Jared Sluman: oh he's there, look it,
he's there dude, he's training right now.

I'm not, I'm not training because I got
fresh ink, you gotta let the tattoo rest.

I'm supporting, I'm
supporting my brothers.

Ryan Carnohan: Good.

That's amazing.

All right, brother, what's your question?

What you got?

Jared Sluman: What up, Ryan?

My question is, are you

Greg: scared

Jared Sluman: that if
you go ham again, that

Greg: that's going to happen again?

Ryan Gehmlich: Do you have

Ryan Carnohan: fear or
what's going on with that?

So, let me translate.

Are you talking about if
he goes ham on the food?

Jared Sluman: No, on the chill failure.

Like, the hard piece of the workout.

Oh, on his head?

Ryan Carnohan: Oh, okay.

Okay.

I'm a slow one.

Go

Ryan Gehmlich: for it.

Uh, so I definitely have been scared,
um, especially as I first started

getting back in the gym and when
I started doing deadlifts again.

I mean, that's something,
because, you know, that increases

your blood pressure a lot.

There's no way around it.

Ryan Carnohan: I'm coming after you, Ryan.

I want your deadlifts.

Ryan Gehmlich: Keep going.

And so, you know, and I've definitely
felt like I had to limit myself,

you know, like you have to strike a
balance between where, you know, what,

what failure really means because
sometimes you can push yourself too far.

And I did, you know, like, um,
and so I think the key is just.

Recognizing that and, and, uh, I'm,
you know, I'm very careful to just, and

always have been other than this air
squad fiasco, but, um, like I'm always

very careful to do progressive overload.

Like I'm not going to lift 365
pounds on the deadlift if I

didn't first lift 360 pounds.

Seriously, like those are
the increments that I take.

I go up by five.

That's it.

And, and, uh, you know, same with
the squat, you know, like, um, so

I think it's just a matter of doing
one more rep or, or going up and

wait, you know, just a little bit.

Um, and, uh, and just understanding,
like, Or at least, at least trying to

understand where those limits are so
that you don't run into the same issues

because, you know, there's plenty of
other ways you can get injured too.

I've been injured doing deadlifts
just, uh, from being distracted, you

know, during a lift, a heavy lift.

And so, um, in, in years past.

And so.

Kyle Carnohan: Here's a core value.

We do not make decisions
based on fear or scarcity.

Ryan Carnohan: Let's go.

Ryan Gehmlich: Beautiful.

Kyle Carnohan: That's why you're all here.

You made a decision to put down some
money, a chunk of money, to have

the opportunity to better yourself.

Going the opposite route, like
most people, they choose scarcity.

They choose fear, and then they will never
become anything near what Ryan has become.

And they'll be chasing their tail
for the rest of their goddamn lives,

wondering why it's not working.

So congratulations.

Ryan Carnohan: Greg.

Greg's got his hand up.

Muted.

Yeah, I'm not muted.

He's ready.

Greg: Yeah, I'm driving and it's dark.

So I had my camera off.

Um, yeah, it's got a
couple of things to say.

Yeah, I'm, I'm down with that micro
loading, you know, I had half pound

and three quarter and one pound
plates, and you can really make

some great progress, great linear
progression to hit your limits.

That's really good philosophy.

Uh, that's good stuff
and about the house fire.

I burned my house down
by accident in 2013.

We lost everything.

So I got some, uh, I know what that
feels like going through that whole

process and scary, but yeah, man, Ryan,
you are, you are a full on animal, man.

Very impressive.

Your physique and the flex and the flex,
uh, Chat or whatever flex, uh, post

blew

me away.

I'm like, this guy has
just gotta point on.

I think all that heavy lifting
gives some real muscle density.

Uh, just great physique.

Um, let's go, but I'm gonna
get jumped on for this.

This is the point I wanted to say.

It seems like you bring some
innate qualities to this

whole process that we're.

already there.

Like you're meticulous, you're
thoughtful, you're, um, I'm

imagining, you know, a PhD, you're
driven, uh, you're goal oriented.

How much, how much do you think
you brought to this process that

is innate, that we, we hear?

I mean, you can hear it when you're
talking, like, you got the flu, you know,

like, screw this, you know, I'm still,
it's going to cut back on my food, you

know, I'm still going to hit my macros,
um, I'm going to, you know, I can't.

I can't work out at all, but I'm
just going to go to the gym and sit.

How much of that whole
process that you're relating

those, uh, attitude or
those qualities, do you feel

you already had and how
much do you think you

developed or

caught or grew from
being part of this group?

Ryan Gehmlich: Uh, I think, you
know, I, I come from a background

of like hardworking men, you
know, like going back generations.

And, you know, my dad is insanely
hard worker, you know, the kind of

guy that just He would work from six
to seven or whatever every single

day, day in, day out and, and, and
do probably more than his share.

And so when it comes to just like
grit, you know, like just, just the,

if you, if I, if I want something and
it's, it's my goal to have that thing,

like I'm going to make it happen.

Generally speaking.

And so, you know, that's if you
ask pretty much probably most PhDs,

like it's not about being smart.

It's not about.

You know, any, you know, quality
like that, even it's, it's really

about like, how much can you
suffer because that's what it is.

It's a suffering mind.

And so, you know, from that perspective,
yeah, like I've, I've been through

it, you know, and, and have suffered
in lots of other ways in life.

And, and, uh.

I mean, not that bad, I guess,
but you know, yeah, but you know,

like I know how to work hard.

I know how to, to, uh, and I had
that going into this program.

Um, but, uh, I think it was
more what this program did for

me was more about aligning.

My goals with, with what would
be the most beneficial in the

longterm for me and for my family.

And, and that was something
that I think I didn't even

know what I didn't know, right?

Like there was, there was a lot
of just like self reflection

that came in even just a couple
of weeks of being part of this.

That I was like, holy crap,
like I am not aligned at all.

And I don't even, I don't get it,
like this is, I have so much work to

do, and it's not just on my fitness.

And so I think that was the, the big
eye opener for me, going into this.

Beautiful.

So

Ryan Carnohan: good.

Let's go.

Ryan Gehmlich: Thank you.

Ryan Carnohan: So, Kyle, you
got something to say, Kyle?

You got that look in your eye.

He's got a look in his eye.

There's a humility.

Yes, that was literally the word that
was coming out of my mouth, dude.

Humility.

That's exactly what was
coming out of my mouth.

Amazing.

Kyle Carnohan: You see, Ryan's got an
ability to not lean on his strengths

and took to it very naturally.

And that's what, that's how we roll, man.

We like to roll on like, well, look
at all the stuff that I'm doing good.

Look, I'm okay.

I'm all right.

That'll keep us stuck forever.

Yep.

We got to lean into our

weaknesses and

Ryan Carnohan: no summit.

That's it

man

Kyle Carnohan: expose expose ourselves.

Ryan Gehmlich: That's exactly
it expose and admit to your

weaknesses and And just crush them.

I mean because there's I mean, I just
little things like I would eat out for

lunch Constantly because I was too lazy
I was too lazy to just put a sandwich

together and an apple or whatever,
you know Like just anything I could I

couldn't do it My wife would be like,
why can't you just take leftovers from

the fridge, put it in a little Tupperware
before you go to work, and then you

have lunch, and it's healthier than
whatever crap you're eating at lunchtime.

Yup.

Like,

Ryan Carnohan: it's too

hard.

I can't.

I'm not able to.

You made it your strength now.

It's your strength now.

That's what's crazy, dude.

Kyle Carnohan: Hey guys, I want us to
hang out, but I gotta go get on this

podcast.

Yeah, go get on the

Ryan Carnohan: podcast.

We're gonna, we'll take these two
more comments and we'll wrap it up.

Ty, we love you, bro.

Love

Kyle Carnohan: you guys.

Ryan Carnohan: Thank you, Ryan.

I'm proud of you, buddy.

Yeah, go crush, go crush that podcast.

Ryan Gehmlich: Thanks, man.

Ryan Carnohan: Alright, DDP.

Who's the DP right there?

I just see DP.

Who's that?

That's my brother in law.

Oh, yeah, dude.

Let's go.

Go for

it.

And I think Chad had something too.

Go for it.

Hey,

um, yeah,

Daryl Petrilli: so I'm
Ryan's brother in law,

Ryan Gehmlich: and I'm
going to tell you, I was,

Daryl Petrilli: I'm breathing

Ryan Carnohan: heavy because
I'm doing my walking, so

Jared Sluman: let's go!

Bonus burn, baby!

Anyway,

Daryl Petrilli: um, Ryan shocked the
crap out of me when I saw the post

and, uh,

the

picture grabbed my eye, but it was
what the words that he said that

shocked me because if, I mean,
I don't want to talk bad about

anybody because I love his wife.

Ryan Carnohan: She's my sister.

Um,

Daryl Petrilli: and I only, I've
known Ryan since they've been married.

How long is that now?

years or so?

Ryan Gehmlich: Going on 18 years.

18?

So it's been that long already?

Yeah.

But I

Daryl Petrilli: only see Ryan a few times
a year because I don't live in Livermore.

Until this, uh, until this last year.

Um, I've been going up
to Livermore quite often.

Pretty much every weekend
for several months.

One of the things that Ryan didn't mention
is that he had to be there for his wife.

The tragedy he was

talking about is my mother passed away

in June,

and he has a

couple of in laws, me and my sister,
who gave him crap a lot when we were

trying to get the house ready to sell.

And I know that when my sister, you
know, when I'm around, my wife and

I would go away, I was thinking,
man, Andrea is really hard on Ryan.

You know, and, and I always were
trying to think of ways to, to,

to, to talk to my sister

and, and say, don't be so hard on him.

I see the stuff that he does.

He, he, he does so much for you.

But when I read the post and
when I'm hearing him tonight,

I'm telling you, your mind could be right.

Your body could be right.

Your spirit could be right.

Your heart could be right.

But if they're not all right
together, you can't do what

you need to do for your family.

And when he, that story that
he wrote on the Facebook post.

It's inspired me to start.

I've done years of, of mind,
you know, working on my mind.

Uh, my wife got me into that years ago.

I, I poo pooed it for a long time saying,
Oh, that's such a bunch of mumbo jumbo.

And then I, uh, then I saw Ed Milet speak
once and he chewed me up and spit me out.

But I've never been able to get
all of those things right together.

And when I, when I read Ryan's post,
it just inspired me to no end to see

the direction that he turned because
he easily could turn the other way.

Thank you.

Easily, and he

just, I don't know, I don't know how
else to say it, but you're my inspiration

for this, brother, and I'm so grateful
that you sacrificed so hard for this,

um, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get there, and
it's because of you that got me started

here, trying to get everything right
together, instead of just one at a time.

It's never gonna work one at a time.

That's all I want to say.

Yeah,

Ryan Carnohan: that's what
I'm talking about, dude.

Thank you.

All right, Joey.

What you got, Joey?

What's up?

What's up brother?

Good to see you.

Ryan Gehmlich: Yeah.

Jared Sluman: Hey, so I was
just gonna go back to what, what

Ryan Gehmlich: he was talking
about and, uh, you know, having the

mindset, like a hardworking mindset

Jared Sluman: and being able
to kind of wheel things and,

you know, manifest things.

And I felt like I've been able to do
that my whole life, you know, with

career and where I wanted to be in life.

Why the, I can't seem to grasp it with
this, you know, with with, with my health,

Ryan Gehmlich: with my fitness.

It's just like, I don't know what
it's, man, I can't get ahold of it.

Jared Sluman: And like, I get there,
I do good, and then, got a little

Ryan Gehmlich: slip up.

Do good, get a little slip up.

So it's

Jared Sluman: just, you
know, keeping control of it.

How, I'm just curious

Ryan Carnohan: how he went about that.

How he pivoted.

What was your pivot, Ryan?

Ryan Gehmlich: I, I don't know.

I can't like, pin it on one thing exactly,
but I think it's just the realization

that that it's all tied together,
you know, and I, and I think that's

one of the things that has just been
drilled into me in this program is that

you're not being your best self if, if
you're carrying around an extra 50 pounds,

like I was and or a hundred or more.

What is the trigger that causes
the, the discipline, right?

Like, to, to be able to just go in day
in, day out and, and hit your macros.

But there's got to be something in there.

I

Ryan Carnohan: got a question for you.

When it was really hard, when you
had the brain pain, and, and you were

hungry, and your wife is yelling at you,
what made you still hit your macros?

What were you thinking about?

Ryan Gehmlich: I think, you
know, it wasn't so much the

abs, and that wasn't it.

Exactly.

You know, I didn't even think that
was possible at that point for me.

Um, so for me, it was.

It was thinking about the alignment, you
know, and, and being, and the commitment,

you know, like we, we go into this
making a commitment and I try to keep my

commitments to the best level that I can.

You're never going to be perfect in it.

I mean, I just shared last week, like.

I had a pizza binge, you know,
like, that was such a good

share to Friday or Saturday.

I don't remember.

But, um, you know, and it happens
and you just forgive yourself

and, and, uh, recognize like that
tomorrow's another day, but you better

be having more wins than losses.

You know, like, that's, that's the key.

And that's all.

Yeah.

You

Ryan Carnohan: love trends.

Ryan loves trends.

Yeah.

So, um, beautiful.

Joey, that was a great question, man.

Um, and we'll, we'll touch more on that.

Feel free to reach out to me and bring
it up again in the, in another Zoom call.

We'll tackle this, bro.

We got your back.

Like, it's not easy for any of
us, and we understand, dude.

And there's no judgment, there's no shame.

This is so cool that you're
able to just say that.

Like, this is really hard.

It is hard, so, but you're gonna do it.

You're gonna do it, bro.

So, alright boys.

Ryan, I'm just going to say the
word that comes to mind is lovely.

I mean, that was lovely.

That was just, it was perfect.

It was beautiful.

I'm fulfilled.

I feel, you know, my cup is full.

So thank you.

Um, if anybody did not get to say
something and wanted to share with

Ryan, you know, reach out to me.

I can connect you or you
can post it in the chat.

But if there's something that needs
to be said, please don't hold it in.

We'll make sure that it gets to him.

Okay?

Thank

Jared Sluman: you, Ryan!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Yeah,

Greg: you make me feel like a pussy.

Jared Sluman: Every time I get on one
of these calls, I want to start over.

I want to go get chatted to
him so I can get posted like

one of his savages every time.

I know, dude.

It's ridiculous.

I love you guys.

Alignment.

We'll cut again soon.

Michael Davis.

We'll cut, you and I, we'll

Ryan Carnohan: cut again soon.

It's our turn soon again.

So anyways, um, I, I
know, see I'm lingering.

It's, it's like, ah, it's so warm in here.

But we must, we must end.

So, uh, I'll post this to Zoom up later.

Again, we're here for you boys.

Any, anytime, anything.

Let's go.

Ryan Gehmlich: Peace.

Thanks everybody.

Cory Tucker: the reason why, why I'm
here, I'm, there's something universally,

there's something in the universe that
I really believe puts us where we belong

when we're ready to go there, you know?

And

I, I was unhappy as a husband, unhappy as
a father, unhappy in my job, unhappy in

my fitness, full of fear, worry, doubt,
indecision, zero courage, no action.

I mean, the list goes on and on and on.

I spent years.

Not even looking at myself in
the mirror when I brush my teeth.

And that's, I'm being really honest
about that because I didn't like

what I saw looking back at me,
