Whiskey and Ry Ryan Charles Brown

- Education
Over the past 5 years host, Ryan Charles Brown has given over 7,500 Uber/Lyft rides around the city of Los Angeles. In this time, he heard stories from people traveling in from all parts of the world. Some of the stories that were shared included, rites of passage into “manhood”, what it might mean to “be a man” today and in the future, and how can men participate in dismantling toxic masculinity? Then one night, while sipping some whiskey at a bar with a friend, Whiskey & Ry was born.
The Social Club we are building seeks a conversation that would cross multiple boundaries and build bridges into areas of conversation that have been “cut off” by the traditional interpretation of masculinity and what it means to be a man today. Whiskey & Ry provides a pathway into an honest, vulnerable, and courageous dialogue about topics that will both interest and challenge listeners to think deeper into ways in which men can be a part of the movement to promote men's self-care and healthy expressions of masculinity.

S3:E7; “Who Do You Want To Be At The End Of________?” w/ Nick Warnes!
Grab a seat (and maybe a few tissues) and join me and my good friend, Nick Warnes, as we hear about his family's journey with fertility and deciding to enter into In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Nick shares with us how he and his wife, Whitney, came to the decision together, and what it was like to endure the highs and lows of getting good news followed by the heartbreak of getting the worst news any parents can get. But the story doesn't end there for the Warnes! They have a beautiful son, Lee, and are both finding happiness with the blessings they have today. But do they want to give the process another go? You will have to tune in and find out! Thanks Nick for coming on and sharing your story!----more----

S3:E6; “Everybody Swears” w/ Barry Taylor!
Buckle up you f****n' wankers we are in for a wild fucking ride talking all things "swears" with Barry Taylor! I first met Barry as a young kid in Seminary, bright-eyed and full of hope. Barry opened my eyes wider and gave me more hope than I could have ever expected one person to give me in a lifetime and I am forever grateful to him for it. Barry and I talk about swearing as a universal expression, how swear words like, "pu$$y" have been reclaimed in songs like "W.A.P." by Cardi B. (ft Megan Thee Stallion.) And here is a little secrete for you...everyone swears! Even your grandma. Don't be a wanker and listen to this episode twice! Do it! ----more----Show Notes:Barry's Links; Book Instagram
