Old Ranger, New Dad
Life doesn’t come with a manual, but if it did, it’d probably be written in crayon by a sleep-deprived parent and edited by an old Ranger with too many scars to count :-)
Welcome to Old Ranger, New Dad—a vlog and podcast where hard truths meet full authenticity. No fluff, no sugar-coating—just real talk about life’s struggles, triumphs, and everything in between.
Through my journey—from the battlefield to the home front—I’ll over-share the obstacles I’ve faced, the battles I’ve fought (both external and internal), and the lessons I’ve learned along the way, but like a Father would for his son, not like an influencer would for a 'Follower.'
This channel is about perseverance, faith, and finding purpose in the struggle. It’s always upbeat, always real, and always aimed at inspiring and equipping you for your own fight.
Whether it’s parenting, leadership, resilience, or faith, every episode delivers value. And while I don’t shy away from adult topics, I approach them with wisdom and respect—ensuring Old Ranger, New Dad is a Christian, family-friendly space you don’t have to worry about your kids overhearing. Because let’s face it, the world throws enough garbage their way—I won’t be adding to the pile.

#2 Malyri (CheapChicFinds) being hypnotised by Comedy-Hypnotist Brad Matchett
(FULL EPISODE DROPS IN 1 HR)
Hypnosis isn’t magic—and it’s definitely not mind control.
In my episode, host Seth Ryan sits down with Brad Matchett, a nationally known fair circuit entertainer, corporate performer, and family-friendly stage hypnotist, to pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood professions.
From his early days in accounting and running restaurants to becoming a headliner at state fairs across the country, Brad shares:
- The biggest misconceptions about hypnosis (no, you can’t get “stuck” under)
- Why stage hypnosis is nothing like Hollywood’s “mind control” trope
- How he turned a free show into a full-time career
- The safety, ethics, and family-first approach behind every performance
- The role hypnosis can play in self-help, habit change, and even helping investigators unlock memories
- Lessons he’s passing down to his son about entrepreneurship and chasing what you love
You’ll also hear behind-the-scenes stories from the Pasco County Fair (including how Seth’s wife ended up on stage), the business of entertainment, and what really happens when someone goes “under.”
Whether you’re curious about hypnosis, fascinated by life on the fair circuit, or just love a good story about following your passion, this conversation will open your eyes.
