Just Like Rocky Balboa: A Podcast for the “Everyman”

“I have been selfishly enjoying this podcast for the past few years, riddled with guilt as Ryan has nicely asked people to leave a review. Being within a year or two of Ryan, I grew up in the sweet spot of the Rocky era and mass fandom. I remember going to see Rocky IV on opening night when I was in 3rd grade. People were chanting and rooting for Rocky with every haymaker that landed, and it felt like I was at a real event. My obsession and love for the series was unwavering in those days. In that pre-internet age, the closest I could get to indulge on all things Rocky involved owing all the soundtracks on cassette, and having my VCR ready to record when one of the films came on TV. Sure, my friends loved the movies. What kid my age didn’t? But no one matched my obsession for this wonderful saga of this true inspirational character.
Fast forward a few decades, and I was lucky enough to discover The Rocky Series Podcast: Going The Distance. Ryan and Ruban’s love for the franchise, in many ways mirror my own, and I can relate to them on many levels being around their age, in the relative same stage of life. They, like myself, have always been a fan of the series, and they represent so many of us who have leaned on this saga for inspiration in our own lives. This genuine love of all things Rocky is evident with every episode. Their sincerity as true fans are very refreshing. Yes, they are critical, like all of us have been over the course of these eight movies. However, since their fandom comes from the heart, they don’t have the arrogance or nonchalance that a movie reviewer or anyone without the life investment of the Rocky character may have. In other words, they care about the series, and it hurts them to be critical. Many times I have felt the same way about doubting certain moves Stallone has made in this Rocky universe. Nonetheless, that is why I love this podcast. It is crafted by true fans for true fans! The good will always outweigh the bad for the Italian Stallion!
Finally, it feels like I could have grown up with these guys, Ryan and Ruban. The time and money it must take to get to continue producing content all the while keeping up with the demands of family and work life, is very much appreciated. The podcast medium has allowed everyone to have a voice in the 21st century. Without a doubt, Ryan and Ruban echo the voices of so many, and no they are not a “ham and egger” podcast. It’s refreshing to me all these years later, to know that I’m not the only one who still finds this fictional tale so relatable and applying it to my own challenges in life. Thanks a million guys!

“Ryan and Kyle are the perfect duo for comedy (Ryan) and facts (Kyle). Most if their podcasts are professionally edited, composed and run for 45 mins. Factual and hilarious anecdotes that rarely digress too much from the main topic of Stallone. Very humble and at times self deprecating humour that...”Read full review »
