he must be a lonley lonley sad guy.. to have wanted sumone to call him... i would go insain if my phone kept ringing.. but i guess ppl who are suicidle and need sumone to talk to.. well there ya go.. good people are out there... and rapists
All you people can believe what you want. I talked to this kid once before online and he was a fucking dick too me. He fucking complains about how he is sick of helping others and not getting help back. He shouldn't have given his fucking number out in the first place.
If more young people had an outlet for their loneliness and despair, and had someone to listen to them at 3am - then perhaps we would have more kids NOT on drugs, not on the streets, not wallowing is depression, etc.
What you did may not be the "safest" thing to do, but when you are consumed with passion to help help others, you do what ya gotta do.
Good luck to you, Sweetie. I think the core of your message rings true: Listen to each other, help each other, & learn to serve others. Bravo.
"To somebody that didn't do anything to you" So are you saying your ignorant racist and stereotype words about mexicans, old people and blacks didn't do anything for them to call you fag and be rude to you!Look whose talkin.
how many call you up to now ?? ill give you a ring just to add on more ..also i got to ask you if your from the attleboro area ..i think i know you...
hey bro my name is calixto im from honduras you are a nice person i see you in cnn that's so cool, if you want a friend you can call me my number is 504 227 02 64
I was listening to his radio show (in CA) one morning and he played the audio from your video and he tried calling you and wanted to get you on the air, but he got a busy signal. I then had to go to class so I dunno if he ever got to talk to you
Yesterday, I added a new section to the youandblogSpace called, "Ryan's Phone Experiment." I believe the way Ryan has captured the imagination of so many people can not be taken for granted or written off in any way by those who claim to care about human connection. It is worthy of serious (fun) reflection. So you'll find a special section of "Ryan's Phone Experiment" at: youandblogspace/happiness_with_people/
Ryan you just did something TREMENDOUSLY relevant for everyone. You just wanted to HEAR THEM. You made them feel IMPORTANT. the simplest things to do ..but at the same time the Hardest...
Good Job Ryan, it's people like you that really deserve making money off of something like this. You know the kind of guy that forces girls to do sexual favors for him. And I mean selling coke before wasn't really your thing right? Plus you did drop out of school so what else would you really do with your life besides call people all the time.
why are people hating on you?? i think it's cool that you could be helping someone with their problems or who may not have a lot of friends...it's too bad seung-hui cho from virginia tech couldn't call you...maybe all he needed was someone and their time to talk about his problems...but ryan, keep up the good work! i am definitely a fan!
A few days ago I wrote: "Just spoke with Ryan. He's not only legit, but coming from a very good place." Then in his next videos, he kept commenting on being misunderstood. "Listening" to Ryan, check out what I have found at: youandblogSpace/happiness_with_people
Has anyone else noticed any of this? What is your PERCEPTION? What is your EXPERIENCE?
Yo Ryan, I called u three times yesterday to talk to u about something, and i kept gettin ur voice mail. I thought u said u were there to listen to people. Did u just do this so u can get publicity and get on tv, NOT GOOD bro! I dont like fakeass people!
He just did this to get on TV, and now that he is famous, he care less of who calls him.
Maybe he was on the phone. You can't expect him to answer all the calls right at the very moment. Or, maybe he was in class or taking a shower or w/e might've come up.
dude. ur awesome!! Love your non judgemental style. and your so mature.. not reactive to the haters.. you are the definition of maturity. good for you man
i just wanted to let you know that our new video is up and to give us a call.
if you call us and/or leave a message with your name and/or help us out by posting it all over myspace and the internet we'll thank you on the next video!!!
we've already talked to a lot of people from across the country.
so if ryan doesnt pick up call us.
we've also heard from our callers that he is mean, and thats not cool.
Hey Ryan. This is Maggie. Umh.. I heard about you on Extra last night/this morning, and I was intriqued by your idea. I'm actually going outside for a cigarette now, and I'm planning on either calling or sending a text message, it really depends on if I make up my mind by the time I find my cigarettes.. But.. yeah.. So, I'll see if this is for real.. *nervous smile*

hi ryan. im from brazil and i just wanted to tell u that u are a GIANT JERK. i mean.. what do you want with this video? money? girls? easy sex? new friends ? be famous??
i just hope someone crazy SK see this video and go to your house and kill your parents and sister with a knife and make you regret doing this video.
crazy dudes like you kills students in schools everyday in EUA.
Well damn, this is an awesome thing you're doing. I wish I had the ability to text, since I'm too shy to actually talk. :P I saw you on Inside Edition just a little bit ago.
I think its awesome what your doing!! I actually don't have the guts to call you but i did watch you on TV this morning and i just wanted to tell you that i think it's great with what your doing!!
dude u rock. but the last part where oyu pull the camera in and out from your face is... interesting. i might be calling exactly 1 month from now ( prolly when less people call) so me and my bbf could tallk to you! sayanora for now!
hi ryan..i saw you on inside edition also. i know you are'nt gay ..but i hope its ok that i got an immediate gay crush on you. i'm a gay guy in indiana. anyway..good luck..and happy talkin. you seem genuinely sweet and nice. hope to talk to you sometime.
awesome video dude, just saw it on I.E. had to check it out. and to all the haters F*CK them! just brush it off like u been doin. i can really appreciate this ecspecially the mother callin bout her son goin to Iraq, as a Marine i can completely appreciate u talkin to her during such a hard time. keep it up man!!
Hey Spanky.....you seem like a nice dude but dont take all the personal attacks so seriously! Just because a couple asswipes called you a "fag" on YouTube doesnt mean you need to get all huffy about it. Chill out, and keep on inspirin' the good folks of the world. Good luck on the job search too!
um... what hapeens if there is an emergency and someone needs to get in contact with you ASAP. I see you haven't thought this through. If you wanted to do something like this you should at least get another phone.
Ryan...hey I hope that the Virgin Mobile thing went through. It was awesome to see you on Today and the phone was going off non stop. Meredith looked like she was about to have steam come out her ears because you were answering.I think that was awesome that you did answer...Josie Kay in Florida
I LOVE WHAT YOURE DOING RYAN!! I just wish i had the balls to pick up the phone and call, though you probably wouldn't have time for someone like me... I wish you all the best!! You are such an inspiration. Do you have a myspace or facebook??? maybe you can help me with my phone fear?? lol alrighty then... have a good one!!
Just spoke with Ryan. He's not only legit, but coming from a very good place.
"Youand: the art of mutual understanding" is awarding Ryan Fitzgerald the first ever Youand Award, in recognition of Ryan's outstanding example to the world for the great value of listening to our fellow human beings. Congratulations Ryan! For leading the way into the final frontier!
"The final frontier may be human relationships, one person to another." -- Buzz Aldrin, Astronaut
I think this is amazing! Ryan is proving with this experiment that people are so disconnected and desperate for a connection that they are willing to call and talk to a stranger. I am encouraged to know people like Ryan still exist in this world: people who have no alterior motives or secret agendas but just want to show others compassion. You are an inspiration!
Hey! U live alone or do u still live with ur parents? I'll tell my 21 yr. old son to call u sometime today...he needs a good person to talk to..all he does is sleep all day...makes me soooo mad!!!
Interesting Concept.. Great Motivation For Helping Those Who Need An Ear.. Just Ignore The Nay Sayers They May Walk The Walk But They Dont Talk The Talk.. Keep It Real
your here for us.. plz.. go back to school, and if you are soooo caring, join a local volunteer group that actually may helps others... in stead of just bullshit phone conversations!
I think it truly takes a big heart to do something like this. And you're right, haters are everywhere but you're happy doing what you're doing and that is all that matters. You are a great man.
You know how I fund out about you well today my english teacher saw an article on the Houston Chronicle (newspaper)and told us about you and we spent like half the period disscussing on this I'm like wow today after swimming practice I'm going to youtube and I gotta see this... unbelievable that's very cool of you... keep up you are making a real diffrence...=)
God bless you. There is so much need of love and caring for others. There is a need for a more selfless world. God bless you Dude. Do let the negative comments get to you. Focus on the positive ones. I read a spanish news paper called "clarin", that is how i knew about your video. Pretty cool man, pretty cool.
Saw you on CNN a few minutes ago.Just be safe dude.I myself would never do that. But i'm female and there are to many crazy folks out there.But best of luck to ya.Glad to know someone is willing to listen to people.
Awesome. I think it's wonderful your doing this! It's really nice to see someone who cares AND DOES SOMETHING. I would call you, but... Well, just know I would. =)
By the way, I'm sorry you've gotten so many hate calls or messages. It's... sad. ;~;
Keep up the good work! ^-^ Hope you reach your goal (if you haven't) and that TNT (or your network) helps you with your phone bill. ^-^
Good luck, man. All the positives you have experienced should make you ignore the hate. it's such a shame people are so hung up on stupid things like looks and sexual orientation. You could be the gay quasimodo and it wouldn't even matter. the world definitely needs more good ideas like this one and more real men to make them happen. the comment haters are obviously insecure and overcompensating. Maybe they need to use their brains for a hot second before judging a complete stranger.
Remember me, I'm the one who met Jane Goodall and you just acted like you didn't even care. Sure you're not really hear just to talk all you want to do is just run and hide. Sure what you said to the news...you're just a fake!!!
Keep it up man. If you end up getting screwed over by the phone company start up a paypal, I know people will help out. You're doing a really nice thing, keep it up keep it up keep it up.
I tried calling, but the line was busy. I imagine it would be. Anyway Ryan, you'll get so much experience out of this you'll be as qualified as any shrink out there.
Awesome stuff Ryan - keep up the good work - reach out to as many people as you can. You made the news (as if you haven't heard) - try Skype....no phone bills.
I think what you are doing is coming from the heart just becareful not to get hurt if you meet someone make sure you really get to know the person its good to have someone that cares to talk to everyone that took alot of guts Ryan you are a star I just read the news and had to find this video....you keep on doing what your doing Ryan...take it easy and goodluck
Wow, to do what your doing.. despite what people may say about you.. Its a great thing!! You know what *LewSan* even if Ryan did start off with this idea for a number, it doesn't mean that he cant help people in the process and maybe now it really is for helping people! Things happen in mysterious way and I think its a genuine thing to do!! The world has changes in so many ways and to know that there are people who care and care back is a good feeling!! So Ryan.. good job and keep it up!!
Thats fine. He can change his mind and do something helpful. All I am saying is that he has no room to say that 'Luke' just did it for the number. Because I believe that Ryan started out doing it for the number as well.
u go boy .don't worry about some of those azz holes they have in this world.keep up the good work maybe we can answer phones together i always wanted to help people but havent got a clue how 2 start.
I just called you. You told me that CNN was going to record some of your calls. I declined to be recorded but I'm sure others will agree.
Hey---I hope you at least get a job offer out of this--may some phone support type job---if nothing else , you'll get world fame---the power of the internet--aint it great.
Called him hours ago... he was shocked to know dat i called from asia.. hahaha great dude to talk to... still good luck ryan!! Was d girl with the 10 pm my time, 10 am ur time... =)
I think what you're doing is awesome Ryan, the haters don't get it because they don't understand that people can be kind and caring. Just don't explode your phone bill.
Even though I won't call him (2 full time jobs and no time myself to sleep! LOL) how about this idea for those who do call him? Call up Verizon (I THINK that's his phone co.) and ask to put a buck or two onto his account. It wouldn't be a heavy load for those who call and a buck or 2 each would LOAD up his minutes and he wouldn't have to pay an arm, leg and a foot!
Fuck the haters, man, I'm from Australia, and it think its great. who cares what anyone else thinks, the 100,000 people who call you will think your a great guy. keep it up.
whatever happened to the website these twins were supposed to create

Hey Spanky.....you seem like a nice dude but dont take all the personal attacks so seriously! Just because a couple asswipes called you a "fag" on YouTube doesnt mean you need to get all huffy about it. Chill out, and keep on inspirin' the good folks of the world. Good luck on the job search too!

um... what hapeens if there is an emergency and someone needs to get in contact with you ASAP. I see you haven't thought this through. If you wanted to do something like this you should at least get another phone.

I think this is amazing! Ryan is proving with this experiment that people are so disconnected and desperate for a connection that they are willing to call and talk to a stranger. I am encouraged to know people like Ryan still exist in this world: people who have no alterior motives or secret agendas but just want to show others compassion. You are an inspiration!

Good luck, man. All the positives you have experienced should make you ignore the hate. it's such a shame people are so hung up on stupid things like looks and sexual orientation. You could be the gay quasimodo and it wouldn't even matter. the world definitely needs more good ideas like this one and more real men to make them happen. the comment haters are obviously insecure and overcompensating. Maybe they need to use their brains for a hot second before judging a complete stranger.

Then a woman from the today show called me and asked me some stuff, cause she wanted to interview someone who talked to him
She seemed kinda upset to learn that my convo with him was less than thirty seconds long

Wow, to do what your doing.. despite what people may say about you.. Its a great thing!! You know what *LewSan* even if Ryan did start off with this idea for a number, it doesn't mean that he cant help people in the process and maybe now it really is for helping people! Things happen in mysterious way and I think its a genuine thing to do!! The world has changes in so many ways and to know that there are people who care and care back is a good feeling!! So Ryan.. good job and keep it up!!
LnzyL85 4 years ago
Thats fine. He can change his mind and do something helpful. All I am saying is that he has no room to say that 'Luke' just did it for the number. Because I believe that Ryan started out doing it for the number as well.

Even though I won't call him (2 full time jobs and no time myself to sleep! LOL) how about this idea for those who do call him? Call up Verizon (I THINK that's his phone co.) and ask to put a buck or two onto his account. It wouldn't be a heavy load for those who call and a buck or 2 each would LOAD up his minutes and he wouldn't have to pay an arm, leg and a foot!
Good job though guy, hat's off to you!
