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.

Child Discipline and Sub Teaching Stories
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
To discipline, or not to discipline, seems to always be the hot button question. Not in this house! My kid acts up, you best believe I will discipline them! Teacher says, your kid was doing X, Y, and Z, I will believe the teacher.
I talk about my oldest for the first time acting up in school, and it wasn't really that bad but still had to shut it down. Also ended up being SUPER side tracked and talking about by sub teaching days. I share 2 stories of when I subbed high school and how I thought we were so screwed as a society because of what happened.
Let's just say, those kids now, are in their 20's. Yeah. Enjoy the episode!

Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
Working 9-5! Sing it Dolly! Well don't sing it toward Gen Z or the younger generation. A few months back a young lady went on Tik Tok and complained about her 9-5 job right out of college.
It was very split down the middle with the reaction it got. I talk about who really failed in this situation and also break down some of the things she complains about.
Come on and take a listen because we are complaining 9-5!!

Ever have someone tell you how you should be? How you should dress? How you should talk? How you should act? I discuss that others opinions of how you should be should not dictate and control your life. I share how I have had to deal with those things my whole life, and still till this day.

Owning A Mistake

Monday Mar 07, 2022
My interview with Suzan Nguyen will not be airing this week. We recorded our episode at her Connecting with the Community event, but I made a mistake when recording and our audio was not usable. I am highly upset and disappointed in myself.
Instead of not putting out an episode, I decided to own up to my mistake and apologize to Suzan and everyone that came to this show for that interview. That's what this show is all about, real life, and in real life we make mistakes.

If you could travel in time, would you go to the past? Or to the future? Everyone has their reasons why and I share which way I would go. Also, did you know 71% of people who make plans, wish they would fall through so they could stay home? Yeah I rant about that too and how we as a society have lost all human connection

Imagine going to the movies where you can't pick your seat. You have to find out about the times in a newspaper or call the theatre for the automated message of times. You had to wait in a long line to get into the theater. Well believe it or not, that is how it used to be! I bring back on my good friend Ashley Clark to talk about going to the movies then vs now.

Saturday May 15, 2021
Ever know a guy who is always smiling and having a good time? Well Clem Carter was that guy for me! I've known him since T-ball and let me tell you. This guy had the biggest damn smile I had ever seen! Always smiling and having fun!
I put the invite out to my graduation class of 2000 if anyone wanted to come on the show and catch up for me to put out there. Just in case someone couldn't attend the reunion but wanted to know how they were doing. Clem reached out immediately and said let's do this!
We talk about our time in La Porte, why he joined the military right after high school, his time in Germany, and his excitement for attending our 21 year reunion since he missed the 10.

Class of 2000 Reunion
Thursday May 13, 2021
Thursday May 13, 2021
21 years! We are legal to drink! Wow 21 years ago I graduated from high school! Crazy to think about. We couldn't celebrate our 20th because of COVID. What an asshole!
So we are going to celebrate 21 years of being away in August. I decided to put an invitation out there for anyone from that class to come on the show and discuss their time at good ol La Porte High School. Feel like it's a good idea on paper but not sure anyone will take up the offer. You know because NO ONE likes to talk anymore. It's all about texting and snapchat bullshit.
Very short episode so I hope you enjoy!

Wednesday Apr 21, 2021
Do you prefer to do everything online? Shop for your clothes? Date? Getting groceries? Movies? etc.
I discuss how we as a society have now gone into the world of almost no human interaction at all. Everything is starting to be done through online platforms and I share how I feel about certain things being done online vs in person.
