Ryan Gentile here, and welcome to Gentile Life podcast page! I started this podcast back on Jan. 1st, 2020, you know before the world went to shit!
Over the years, I've had some great episodes, but it wasn't until the unfortunate passing of my dear friend to cancer in early 2023 that I decided to shift the focus of this podcast.
When my friend passed, she was in her late 30's and had a young daughter, 2 or 3. I was so heartbroken for her because all she wanted to be was a mother and now she would never get the chance to see her daughter grow up. Also, her daughter would never truly get to know her mom besides stories from other people.
So I decided that my podcast would now be a love letter to my young daughters, if the worse were to ever happen to me when they are still young. They will get to hear my thoughts, feelings, opinions, and rants from my own mouth. Nothing wrong with others telling my story but there are always 2 sides to every story.
So this podcast is for them! If I do get to see them grow up and they get to learn all about me, then this will be for my grandkids. If they decide to have any.
I love you Claire and Emma and I hope when the day comes you read this summary of the show, you smile and laugh from listening to your old man be, well himself.

Relationship Demands
Wednesday Oct 30, 2024
Wednesday Oct 30, 2024
Why is it so hard to be in a relationship now a days? It's not that difficult, or maybe it is, to just be open and honest and WORK with each other.
Now before you assume anything, no my marriage is just fine. In fact, it's great because we actually COMMUNICATE with each other! Good, bad, or different.
Today though, you have to set guidelines or expectations before getting in a relationship and demand they be ok with it.
I discuss this nonsense so enjoy!

It's time to share some stories!!
This week I decide to share a fun, well fun to me, story about the time we went on vacation to a place called Neal's Lodges. This was a time where there were no cell phones, no texting, no video recording everything you did, and just a whole lot of shenanigan's for some teenagers.
Hope you enjoy!

Wednesday Oct 16, 2024
Seems like everyday people are getting scammed. Well sadly there is a new scam out there. This one has to do with houses and porn. Yeah you read that right.
On top of all that so many dumb ads about all the politics. No I don't talk politics on this show but I do talk about the dumbass ads and why they are annoying.
So you got scams, porn, and political ads this week. This might just be my best or worse episode yet. Take a listen and you decide

Special Episode- Bye Bye Job
Monday Aug 19, 2024
Monday Aug 19, 2024
Well something I've never experienced before has finally happened. NO not that, get your mind out of the gutter! I was laid off from my job. The position I had was terminated and because of that, I ended up losing my job.
I talk about my feelings about the whole thing, which trust me, I'm not reacting the way you think I would be reacting to this whole thing.
I even take it ALLLLL the way back to when I quit my job 4 years ago, which you can catch that episode to, it's called I Quit.

Y2K Finally Arrived and Clipping Nonsense
Wednesday Jul 24, 2024
Wednesday Jul 24, 2024
Only took 24 years but Y2K finally arrived! The world, for the most part, shut down when there was in issue with Microsoft. I mean it was a cluster fuck!!
Also, with a certain President bowing out of the election we are going to have to endure even worse forms of clipping! I talk about that a few more things.
Next week will end this season before we take a few month hiatus so enjoy!!

Hurricane Beryl And The Dumbass Aftermath
Wednesday Jul 17, 2024
Wednesday Jul 17, 2024
Man leave it to a Hurricane to cause things to go bat shit sideways! I talk about going through Hurricane Beryl and how common sense, once again, just fails when it comes to big companies.
Also mention, not going into detail on the politics of it all, Trump being shot and how that just added to the shit storm that we will see over the next 4 months.
After having to take a week off because of the hurricane, I'm back with more takes on dumb shit happening!

Time to Get Canceled
Wednesday Jul 03, 2024
Wednesday Jul 03, 2024
It was bound to happen. Time to get "canceled" for the things I say. Ok, of course that's not the case, or maybe, but either way I talk about the ridiculousness that the younger generation tries to cancel people.
It's getting really out of hand and I go on a pretty good rant. So feel free to decide if you agree with me or disagree with me. Either way, I will still like you, unlike the younger generation. They will disown you if you don't agree with them.
Yeah I said and I say a lot more this week. Enjoy!

AI and Streaming
Wednesday Jun 26, 2024
Wednesday Jun 26, 2024
AI is taking over!! No seriously, it's taking over! I talk about my little experience with AI and how I was like NOPE!
Also right before recording I saw some things about streaming that I decided to share. Basically how it's ridiculous and is basically a more of a headache now.
Also have a few side tangents about CEO's of companies.
Enjoy!

Situationships
Wednesday Jun 19, 2024
Wednesday Jun 19, 2024
Ever found yourself in a situation.....sorry I meant a situationship? Yeah you read that correctly, a situationship! You're not in a relationship but just causally dating.
That's the new term people are using now a days and it's catching on. I talk about this nonsense and what it REALLY means.
Also talk about Father's Day weekend in the Gentile household

Wednesday Jun 12, 2024
It's been 11 weeks since our last show. After taking some time off, it's time to catch up! Talk about my youngest "graduation" from Pre-K and that nonsense, dad turning 70, 8 years married and hosting our 2nd annual adult swim!
I got a few things on the mind that I will be discussing this season as well. AI, Situationships, the Tom Brady Roast, #blockout224 dumb shit, and clipping.
It's going to be a good season!

Don't Be Who Other People Want You To Be
Tuesday Mar 26, 2024
Tuesday Mar 26, 2024
Season finale is here and it falls on the 75th episode!! I was going to end the season talking about my friend Bethany with some of our mutual friends. However, that didn't pan out, at least not yet. That episode will happen though!
I decided to end the season talking directly to my daughters about how they should never be who other people want them to be. To always be themselves and don't let others dictate who they are as a person.
A lot of thoughts and opinions on the internet and social media as a whole and how those things effect kids when they think they need to be someone else.
Thank you to everyone that has listened this season! Excited to start season 5 at some point this summer!

Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
Oh come on! You know it's true! Kids are so damn cute, but man are they assholes! It's time to bring back the topic that was the 2nd episode ever of this show!
I talk about how my kids, now older than they were 4 years ago, are so damn cute but man they are assholes sometimes! Because it's 4 years later, it's happening more! AHHH!
Oh and if you are an adult, without kids, and have an opinion on it.....well I got some choice words for you *wink wink*

Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Who doesn't love the 90's? I mean so much of the 90's has been making it's way back, so why not talk about it. Of course there are certain things from the 90's that we will never see again.
I talk about those things and just how great the 90's were to grow up in.
I also got a NEW TOY!!! That's right the 1st 5 minutes were fun to record. I hope you make it past those 5 minutes to enjoy the episode!

Something Needs to Change
Wednesday Feb 21, 2024
Wednesday Feb 21, 2024
This is getting ridiculous. Like seriously, what the actual F? This episode/topic I really didn't want to talk about.
However, after certain events happening on a national level and locally in my city, I just felt the need to get this certain thing off my chest.
This was not an easy topic to talk about but trust me, there was some anger, passion, and a lot of frustration in my voice this week.

Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Schmalentine your Valentine! Yeah I Said It!
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024

Rambling Man

Wednesday Feb 07, 2024
Yeah so this weeks episode as a lot to do with, well.....nothing! Sorry, I actually didn't have anything to really discuss this week.
I had just gotten home from being out of town doing a recruiting trip on the campus of University of Texas. So I wasn't able to prepare anything.
Just like working out, you don't skip leg day, I don't skip out on doing an episode! Even if I don't have anything prepared!
So sit back and relax for almost 25 minutes of me just talking about my recruiting trip, the excitement of not having kids this past weekend and a few other things.
Enjoy!
