Hey guys, Graham here. It's Friday, which means we get to share with you another one of our most popular clips from a past interview this week, Brian Sheckler. This trending clip comes from our TikTok. Hope you enjoy. So the show the life of Ryan. Went for. Three seasons, yeah, I think you stopped midway through the third season, but you started to you started to sour on it at some point.
You you told the story before but that how they had you break up with your girlfriends a couple of occasions. On camera, yeah, you know this. And that was like, that was definitely the last straws for me was like, 'cause that's already a very intimate piece of your life that you don't want really people to know about or to see. So we break up once and then cameras are on, we break up again, cut. Now the mood's really awkward. And then, you know, they come over to me and they're like,
hey, we, that wasn't enough. We need, we need to do it again. And so that's where the show became acting. And it became like this thing where it was like, this is not what we signed up for and this is not what it started out as. Like, it broke my heart, dude. It broke my heart. And it like, I don't know, borderline traumatized me. But I didn't get into a relationship after the show until I was 25 years old. What because? I didn't want to have to go through a breakup again.
I have a heart and I have very strong emotions and I do not like hurting people's feelings. I do not. And so to blatantly have to hurt people's feelings over and over again for the sake of television, for ratings literally not rocked me. My nickname became Crying Ryan, you know, which I thought was funny at 1st until it wasn't. You know, they were making fun of me for crying about hearing that my parents were going to get divorced.
And I heard about it on camera. You know, that was the first time I heard about it. And so I cried and I held on to my brother and then I was just like, Ryan can't find a chill girl, you know? Ryan cries on TV. Mary, Mary. Eddie, part of you now wish you'd continued with it. No, it served its purpose. It was, it was done how it was supposed to be done. I learned the lessons I was supposed to learn from doing it. Hey, I wouldn't take it back either.
Bro, I was 17 years old, you know, I was a kid. I was a kid that got an incredible opportunity, was in a very interesting part of my career where it was just seemed to be going up and up and up and I figured this was the next best step. Like I didn't know any better. It was. It was beyond my wildest like conception of what it could have been. And that's this week's fan favorite.
