I have nothing but the utmost respect for a dude who’s comfortable in his own skin. Sure, he doesn’t need that third double cheeseburger, but he wants it, so fuck you, he’s going to have it. It’s 2016. You’re meant to embrace the skin you were born into and fill it with as much of yourself as you can. This is one of the reasons I love the Ryan brothers. Actually, it’s the only reason I love them. Otherwise, I think they’re just two big-mouthed, obnoxious dudes who talk a big game but don’t neccessarily back it up.
Regardless, there’s no denying that Rex Ryan and his brother Rob could not give less of a fuck what they look like with or without clothes on. More so Rob. The guy’s never even spoken the word ‘diet’ before in his life and, you know, I respect that. Fuck all these fat-shamers. Fat-shame his bank account.
The one drawback about eating every meal like you want it to be your last, there are some things that aren’t built for them. Such as the diving board at the public pool or bounce houses. And, normally, tandem bicycles would be firmly on that list, seeing as those are usually built to bear the load of two equally weighted people. Well, amazingly, the Ryan’s found one.
That picture is just pure, unadulterated happiness. I’ve never seen two grown men smile so much while outside of a bar in my entire life. I’m not completely sure how long that bike frame held up after this picture was taken, but I’d wager not long. If anything, I’m surprised those tires maintained their circular shape. Those things should have become squares right as they sat down on that bike. Personally, I view this as an amazing step in the right direction. When fats dudes can go tandem biking, anything is possible. The sky is limit. So have that extra beer, bros, the world has changed. It not only likes that version of you where you need to buy an extra plane ticket so you can fit comfortably, it loves it.
