Bonus Material Episode 8: Story Time with YOU and Ryan

Hey, welcome to Storytime with Ryan.

Uh, I just wanna thank you for checking everything out.

I'm, uh, I'm excited.

I'm gonna go see my daughter this weekend in Los Angeles, and we were just chatting about one of her teachers.

I can't believe she's been out of school this long.

But I, uh, you know, I really wanna give props to everybody out there, or anybody out there, who is a teacher.

I just have the utmost respect for you.

And I was telling her what a difference it was, um, between her, uh, growing up and her teachers versus mine.

I mean, it's, it's really kinda crazy because the generational divide between my parents and me is not that great.

You know, they had all the same things that I had growing up.

Like, when I was a little kid, you had television, radio.

You know, we could record our favorite shows and everything.

But the difference I have between me and my daughter, I mean, it's insane.

You know, there was no social media.

There was no [laughs] internet, no cell phones.

Um, it just, it's a huge, huge divide.

Um, I got to see, see it both.

You know, I grew up the first part, you know, the first 10 years without any of that stuff, and then, you know, got to be in this world as well.

But anyhow, I'm all over the place.

I just wanted to give a shout-out to all the teachers in the world.

Last time I went back to my hometown of Mentorsville, I drove by my old elementary school, which was kinda funny because it's now, uh, an apartment complex [laughs].

It's weird, weird how they took this old building and turned it into, uh, apartments.

But I, um...

And, a- and it really does sound like I had walked 10 miles in the snow type story, but I went ahead with the rental car and I zeroed out the odometer, and it was 1.5 miles that I walked to school.

Isn't that crazy? As a kindergartner.
