1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Logan Ryan. Here, I am the husband to Ashley Ryan,

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: the father to Abrian Otto Ryan. I am also captain

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: of the New York Giants, and recently some people at

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: the NFL reached out and had an idea that they

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: were going to create NFL Players podcast with an active

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: NFL player, and for whatever reason, they decided I was

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: the guy for the job. I say, you know what,

8
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go for it. It's a leap of faith,

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: and really I want to encourage people to take risks,

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: take the challenge, go challenge himself, go try something different.

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: My chapters of competing for Super Bowls, taking a franchise

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: to its peak, and really being part of a historic

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: franchise like the New York Giants gives me the platform

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: to really be the voice for the players, to really

15
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: have a podcast about the grind, podcast about the reality

16
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: of the NFL, the podcast of the stories that I

17
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: have behind the scenes. And one thing I did when

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: I committed to this is I wanted to be my own.

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: I want to have some freedom and creativity to talk

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: about the things I wanted to talk about, to have

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: the stories I want to talk about, to make it

22
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: real and genuine, to talk about my wife and kids,

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: talk about the day to day rigors, but really talk

24
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: about a lot of other things. I think I've I've

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: I've learned a lot, and I got the story to tell,

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: and I'm willing to tell it to help the next guy,

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: to help the young player, to help the former player,

28
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: and to really help the fan or the person just

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: wants to really get the scoop and really realize how

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: normal of a guy I am. And this opportunity is

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: great and I want to make the most of it,

32
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: and I really want to tell the story and get

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: some of these players open up and tell the reality

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: is what what the league is like and some of

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: the things we learned from each other. I hope you
