Talk:Ryan Trahan

Penny series

Ryan Trahan has done multiple penny related videos starting in 2019 prior to the series he is famous for, can we make that clearer in the section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.144.38.251 (talk) 16:27, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Pronunciation of last name

In Colin and Samir interviews, they have said his surname as Tray-han but a MrBeast interview he said Tra-han (like tra-la-la). It would be nice to include pronunciation if someone can source a video where Ryan says it himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.180.129.61 (talk) 00:48, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

i know for a fact its pronounced tra-han just how it sounds or like try-han MileyCyrus1fan4life (talk) 01:36, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

Changing variant of English used

Hey @Roc0ast3r - thanks for your work updating the citation style; I haven't had time to get around to fixing up this article since I wrote it. I should mention though, that you changed the English style to American English without asking anyone? I (a Brit) started and wrote the vast majority of the prose here, in, as you'd expect, British English. I get that most of the readers here will be Americans, but you should at least get consensus before switching it! I won't start an edit war switching it back, but for future reference, please put a note on the talk page first.  Frzzl  talk; contribs  12:11, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey there! I changed the English variety to American mainly because Trahan himself was born and raised, and still lives, in the United States. And as per MOS:TIES, An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation should use the [..] English of that nation.. Although, I definitely should've let y'all know before switching it over. My apologies. RONIN 14:11, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

That picture choice is atrocious

Ryan doesn't even have face tattoos. You're trying to smear him. Knock it off. 47.205.68.181 (talk) 11:03, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

I can assure you that we're not trying a smear campaign here; however, I'd like to invite you to find a clear image of Trahan under a Creative Commons license - I spent about half an hour last week trawling YouTube and search results for one, and I'm yet to find one. I'd be delighted to "knock it off" as soon as there's a better alternative; the picture right now is indeed awful.  Frzzl  talk; contribs  16:45, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Dude you sound like an asshole. 47.205.68.181 (talk) 21:16, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Cool. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask :D  Frzzl  talk; contribs  22:07, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

How's it feel to be shit? 47.205.68.181 (talk) 21:31, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

looking at the photo's credits, it appears any photo can be used from youtube as long as it credits the video

I agree 136.56.75.143 (talk) 00:29, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Place of birth

In this video by him, at timestamp 11:27, he says he was born in Sugar Land, Texas, which contradicts the current info in the infobox. BhamBoi (talk) 05:52, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Fixing of Ryan founding Joyride Sweets

If you look at the "our story" page for joyride sweets you will see they started in 2022, And in 2024 they partnered with Ryan. We need to clarify that the Founder is Tyler Merrick.

The link is: https://www.joyridesweets.com/pages/joyride-story I don't know how to adjust pages so could someone more professional do it please? Tt5794 (talk) 18:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Add a photo of Joyride

Can someone please take a photograph of Joyride candy and then put it in the Joyride Sweets section? MJGTMKME123 (talk) 12:09, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, MJGTMKME123! I emailed Ryan's team and they uploaded a photo of a bag of Joyride to Commons. I've updated the article with the photo. SOner (talk) 00:28, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Just take the photo of the candy itself, not the bag. MJGTMKME123 (talk) 10:20, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

The new photo was deleted for copyright. Someone who lives in the US will need to take the photo. SOner (talk) 13:58, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

New photo of Ryan

The current photo is from 2018 and should be updated. SOner (talk) 00:46, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

I reached out to Ryan's team and they uploaded a new photo of him to Commons. I've updated the article with the new photo. SOner (talk) 00:27, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

The new photo was deleted! I'm working on having it restored. SOner (talk) 13:58, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

I found a new photo: https://moyoforlife.nl/top-news/a-deep-dive-into-ryan-trahan-s-parents.html

What do people think of it before I upload it? It appears to be a bit older but it's clearer than the current photo and I think it has the right licence to upload to Wikipedia. SOner (talk) 04:39, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

Edit: The photo is actually copyrighted. It can't be used. SOner (talk) 04:43, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

Photo removed?

Hi, @Christopher395, why did you remove the main photo? I've restored the old one but I'm confused why you removed it. I'm guessing it was a mistake. SOner (talk) 00:25, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I'm sorry. It was a mistake Christopher395 (talk) 01:08, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

All good, I thought that might've been the case. Have a good day! SOner (talk) 01:53, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

thanks man! Christopher395 (talk) 08:53, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

Photo changed

Hi, @93.37.60.213, why did you change the photo to the face tatoos one? I've changed it back as the consensus is that it's not a good photo to use. SOner (talk) 00:29, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
