Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio.

Occasionally, we have a guest on the podcast that shakes our world up in a good way.

And that is how I would describe this conversation with Ryan Basic.

His entry into the world of human movement is not all that unique, but where the journey

took him is anything but traditional.

Every day, Ryan commits himself to serving others through improved movement.

Many of these folks have suffered catastrophic spinal injuries,

which have left them with almost no range of motion. Ryan utilizes his knowledge of the brain's

ability to dictate movement and his empathy for the emotional trauma associated with injury

to get these individuals seeing progress. The result is a movement and mindset momentum that propels those clients towards

recovery. Here it is, episode 434.

Merry Christmas, Tex. Merry Christmas, John. Merry Christmas to you, too.

Merry Christmas. Are we allowed to say Merry Christmas?

Yeah, we are. We are. Don't, don't we? No, we don't say happy holidays around here. We say Merry Christmas, Tex. Merry Christmas. Are we allowed to say Merry Christmas? Yeah, we are.

We are. Don't we? No, we don't say happy holidays around here. We say Merry Christmas. Well, yeah, of course. And happy New Year. How much eggnog have you had so far? I'm kind of... What's the time of this release? You know, here's the problem. No, there's no problem. There is a problem because they don't sell the Brogears here in Texas.

The Brogears that we would get at Mothers in Southern California, which was like liquid gold that we would mix up and make our Uncle Huey moonshine eggnogs.

They don't make it here.

And I haven't been able to find a comparable brand. So I've been wheeling out Bob Wellborn's, uh, uh, eggnog recipe. The problem is you pretty much are done for the entire day. So like, it's not like, hey, I'm just going to have myself a little eggnog, you know, today, like with, with, uh, with my dad's eggnog. You know, dude, my dad's eggnog, you got to like make sure you're at home. Somebody has your keys. Uh, like you're, you know, you're all tucked in. You're in your jammies. Ready to go. Maybe you have to put on a diaper, uh, whatever it is. But when you strap into that stuff, you know something weird's going down. Yeah, it's called a Merry Christmas, John.

That's what I'm talking about. but when you strap into that stuff, you know something weird's going down. Yeah, it's called a Merry Christmas, John.

That's what I'm talking about.

God, did I ever tell you the time my dad almost set her house on fire on Christmas?

Maybe.
