Misleading, Opportunistic title & recording! (but Mr. Ryan Reynolds the man is still a top-notch person 😎)

This podcast seems to be a clumsy Reddit-style recording of sparse biography content trolled from the Internet in a crude attempt to ride the coattails of Mr. Reynolds’ fame and success instead of the expected authentic stories from &/or endorsed by Mr. Ryan Reynolds himself based on the podcast title.

In contrast, if rating Mr. Ryan Reynolds as the man himself: 10/5 stars (yep, beyond maximum marks for excellence)! In his social media & YouTube posts unrelated to this podcast on Audible, Ryan seems amazingly grounded, vibrantly present, with gorgeously irreverent humor and authentic Canadian kindness.

Ryan, You choosing to show up for life the way you have has made the world a better place for so many of us;
this opportunistic podcast recording: by someone else - not so much.

Best wishes
