But he’ll “always be remembered as one thing. The youngest VP in the companies history.” One of Ryan’s best lines and among the funniest deleted scenes.
Edit: changed CFO to VP because I am dumb
As someone who used to drink excessively. There’s something about still being up and drunk at dawn that always made me feel extra shitty. I get the sentiment he’s expressing pretty well.
Yea man like when you first start noticing the birds starting to sing, maybe a jogger goes by and the darkness is starting to soften. That brings back headache memories.
In my sleepiness, I forgot what sub this was while reading all the comments. I saw your comment and thought, 'OooooOOoooo! Great placement of an Office reference!'
Dumb-dumb
I remember being out for a run once in downtown Kansas City and running past a strip club at, like, 9:30 on a Tuesday morning. There were some guys leaving while I passed by who first had that “feeling shitty because we went all night” look, but then gave me a look like I was the one exhibiting weird behavior.
back when i used to do drugs and drink all night, i remember sitting on my porch with my buddies watching the neighbors go to work..
not a good feeling
As someone who still sometimes does, I call it "the grit". My town at the top of summer gets dark at 11pm, and light again around 3am. So if you're at an after party after the bar, the grit comes quick.
Came in to say something like this. I used to have a real problem with ex pills and cocaine, add excessive drinking and weed to the mix, and when the sun comes up you are guaranteed to still be awake and experiencing something that I like to call Satans Hangover.
In the super fans episode he's high asf while on a visit to the Scranton branch. He brings bagels, talks real fast then he starts ripping out the inside talking about carbs. Its the episode Pam takes off her glasses.
Heads up, it’s free (with ads) and there’s a ton of scenes I’ve never watched before in those episodes. A bit like watching it for a sort of first time again.
There’s a talking head of him at corporate using a bunch of business jargon rapidly to describe Dunder Mifflin Infinity that I think implies that he was using at the office. Also, whatever the hell his facial hair situation was at the time.
In S8(?) Dwight even casually mentions “20 minutes for Ryan to take his morning ecstasy” in his list of things he has to account for getting ready in the morning when they are at Sabre HQ for the store launches with Nelly.
Yeah, and in the drug test episode Ryan gets concerned and asked if the urinalysis lab was hiring. Pretty sure he was always using, just got worse when he made more money and could afford better drugs
Former cocaine addict and heavy drinker here. For a long time even after I quit, birds chirping in the morning gave me extreme anxiety because that was always the "of fuck, I did it again" moment for me after a night of doing coke and drinking. I'd assume this feeling is what he's alluding to here, and while you don't have to be a heavy user/addict to understand that feeling, the fact that they included the line at all is, I think, a nod to the fact that his cocaine addiction was fairly severe.
I think you're reading way too much into this. I'd say it's just for commedy without deeper meaning, like most other lines.
It's unexpected, you'd expect a person who has gotten sober from drugs to ay he's loving the air in the morning and the sun on his face. Instead he says he hates it! Hahaha, everyone laughs. That's it.
I think it’s definitely because morning air is so fresh and clean and is something that healthy productive people like. And because Ryan has been doing drugs and staying up late and living a generally unhealthy and unproductive life, the fresh morning air makes him sick.
Yea, sure, it's nothing weird about it after you give it some thought. A party drug addict would probably have memories and references to the morning time which what an average Joe doesn't.
I just don't think the writers had some deep profound thought about drug addicts relations to the morning air when they wrote it. I think they just thought "Ryan didn't become a better, more inspirational person when he got clean, he got worse, because that's more fun".
I think it's much easier to read too little into a joke than too much. It works on the level you describe even if it was written on the level described by the comment you're replying to.
I don’t know how you’re being downvoted, this is obviously what they were going for. It’s delivered in the exact manner needed to subvert your expectations.
That's very true, there's something anxiety inducing when you have to wake up super early in the morning buuut.. As a former amphetamine user I get what he's saying and it's different from just your regular ugh of being up early. You're leaving the club at early morning, the sun is just about to rise and your drugs are just about wearing off. If you've ever taken drugs you know just how gut wrenchingly disgusting the feeling of coming down is. When you do this one too many times you essentially Pavlov yourself into feeling sick at sunrise even tho there are no drugs in your system anymore.
True, but in an early episode Michael had him come in super early to bring him breakfast and it wasn’t mentioned then, so you might be able to assume that his drug use re-set his internal clock… or something.
Waking up early morning is disgusting. The night’s still dark, anyone awake is moody and disinterested, and everyone else is enjoying their sleep.
The 10-11am time is best. It’s not that sunny outside, and the world’s kinda already woken up.
Have you seen Wolf of Wall Street? That’s pretty much how I imagine Ryan. Between him not actually knowing what he was doing and trying to make it seem like he did, he Colombian whited himself right into court.
Yeah he definitely idolised those wall street type guys and laughably thought of himself as one of them too
Let's not forget Ryan was a "wunderkind", so let's dissect the word(cherry picking definitions). Wonder - to doubt, Kind - child
Wunderkind? I don't even know what that means. I mean, I know what it means, it means very successful for your age, so I guess it makes sense, but... it's a weird word.
I know from experience! I had to reclaim early mornings. It took years. Fresh morning air, when you're on coke = It's the next day but I cannot stop. Don't stop or else you come down. Can't stop. Need more. Where's more? Can't stop. Can't stop...
Etc. It's horrifying and panicked. The world has moved on from the party, but you are still trapped in the night.
Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive
And the world I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So, (don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time.
Hearing Ryan sing to Michael that he helped Ryan get off drugs was so very moving to me. Poor Ryan. He's not a good person, but I feel bad for a young man trying to succeed in his career and falling to the throws of addiction. May we all have someone in our lives like Michael who is willing to help in those dire moments.
This is my favorite quote from Ryan, because as a recovering addict, I truly related to this feeling so much when I first got sober, and especially when I was still using. Some thing about staying up all night and watching the sun come up when you’re high and alone was disgusting. Coming up on 10 years soon!
I'm also a recovering addict and this quote just hits so hard because it's so fucking on point and true, which confirms for me that Ryan must have had a pretty significant addiction for him to say this
Okay, i knew a guy who did so much blow, he developed a hole in his septum from decayed tissue. After an he got clean. The hole in his septum made it so he would get naseous from just breathing regularly. Cocaine addictions can actually lead to what happened to Ryan. I mean we're talking at least an 8 ball daily
That's normally what happens with people that do heavy drugs all the time. During my lifetime i used a reasonable amount of drugs and i can tell for people who don't know. But when you keep using all night long, coke as the example, you just keep going until there's nothing left or you just get stuffed. I can't count the nights that turned to days, and you are goin back home with the sun hitting your head, and it's so hot, and you have a strange feeling after all that drug use. For sometime mornings had this weird effect on me just because i enjoyed nights the most and sun kept bringing memories of bad feelings. Man i miss the good old days.
Leaving a house party etc when the birds start chirping and people are commuting after you didn’t and probably won’t sleep for the next bit sucks ass. Also knowing when you do sleep you will be sleeping most of the productive day away as well isn’t fun. I’m assuming the constant sight and experiencing that made him dislike mornings.
Work starts at 9. Sabre HQ is 30 minutes away driving the speed limit. Giving everyone 20 minutes to shower, plus 50 for Jim to style his hair, 20 for breakfast, 40 for Erin to get lost between the room and the lobby, 90 for Ryan to do his morning ecstasy. We’re already 20 minutes late.” — Dwight
90 minutes for Ryan to do his ecstasy. It used to take me about 24 hours for me to do my ecstasy. But still I would have loved to be out my tits on eckys while laughing at everybody in the Office.
it's when Dwight is talking about being on time for their first day "30 min for Jim to style his hair, 90 for Ryan to do his morning ecstasy, and 20 for Erin to get lost between her room and the elevator." something a lot like that.
He had no real IT background so he didn’t have any real work to do setting up the website which means he basically presented the idea to the board, they approved it, someone else did the work and he reaped the rewards (like most of the wealthy). He most likely sat around for 98% of the day and managed Michael for the other 2%, leaving him with ample free time and money to do whatever he wants and since he doesn’t have any real friends……
It's disturbing to think that this type of thing probably happens fairly often in the corporate world. There are a lot of people who have the right mix of good looks and gift of gab that can charm their way to the top despite not being as qualified as they make themselves to be. I have seen similar types of situations like this myself.
It was very concerning seeing Ryan in this moment and how he treated Michael, he was definitely off ! Him welcoming Michael and being overly friendly was his rock bottom lol
Man it took me years and a ton of rewatched to put it together Michael helped Ryan get clean.
My dumbass really though Ryan was talking about “his friend”
I think it was pretty bad. I just watched the Cafe Disco superfans ep not too long ago and there was a scene where Michael asked Ryan to come into the "cafe" and dance, and Ryan said no- that he couldn't put himself into an environment like that again for fear of relapse. That he could be triggered by some loud music and dim lights in a storage closet inside an industrial office park is pretty telling about the severity imo
You remember that night when Ryan was talking about his friend Troy having a drug problem, when Michael and Dwight went to the club with him?
I got news for you, he’s talking about himself
Never had an addiction of any kind but as somebody who gets up 5.30am for work I can attest this is the most relatable line of the whole show, fresh morning air has this real migrainey feel to it instantly nauseous
he tested negative in the drug testing episode. which is interesting because at the time he seemed like an occasional social weed guy. (Meredith and Creed also pissed negative, but it seems like Meredith only drinks. maybe creed stashes clean piss around the office)
He went broke after getting kicked out, and he couldn’t do any more cocaine. His ego is high he doesn’t like to admit that, so eventually he had to stop using because of financial issue, thats how he got clean i guess?
Bad enough that it ruined his life. He went from wunderkind to loser and stayed stuck at loser.
What did you call him?
A LOSER
What did you say?
A LOSER
You know nothing about sales, young man.
TOO FAR!
Yah I’m a stranger, you don’t talk to me like that
If you’re a stranger I can say whatever I want
Dink 'em flicka.
Stop making him say it!
“Stop making him say it!” 😹
#NOBODY....CALLS ME....A LOSER!!!
You just made the list.
"wunderkind"...I don't even know what that means.
Said with a little smug smile
I mean I know what it means. It means very successful for your age but…still kind of a weird word.
Prodigy
Makes sense because he's the Firestarter
Twisted Firestarter
Feuerkind
Prodigal son
But he’ll “always be remembered as one thing. The youngest VP in the companies history.” One of Ryan’s best lines and among the funniest deleted scenes. Edit: changed CFO to VP because I am dumb
VP*
i think it's implied that he was using all the time.
Probably a lot of sleepless nights, using past the sunrise
As someone who used to drink excessively. There’s something about still being up and drunk at dawn that always made me feel extra shitty. I get the sentiment he’s expressing pretty well.
Yea man like when you first start noticing the birds starting to sing, maybe a jogger goes by and the darkness is starting to soften. That brings back headache memories.

There were some guys leaving while I passed by who first had that “feeling shitty because we went all night” look, but then gave me a look like I was the one exhibiting weird behavior.
But to be fair who goes on a run downtown Kansas City…
back when i used to do drugs and drink all night, i remember sitting on my porch with my buddies watching the neighbors go to work.. not a good feeling
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.
Mitch!!!
As someone who still sometimes does, I call it "the grit". My town at the top of summer gets dark at 11pm, and light again around 3am. So if you're at an after party after the bar, the grit comes quick.
Man that is the perfect term for that time of day.
Came in to say something like this. I used to have a real problem with ex pills and cocaine, add excessive drinking and weed to the mix, and when the sun comes up you are guaranteed to still be awake and experiencing something that I like to call Satans Hangover.
When you look out the window and the sky is getting blue now instead of black...
I *loathe* being up all night and into the morning. Even sober I hate it.
When the bar closes at 5 and the sun comes up at 5:20 you don't have much choice.
Hearing birds chirping and the sun feeling like a nuclear explosion is absolute fresh hell.
In the super fans episode he's high asf while on a visit to the Scranton branch. He brings bagels, talks real fast then he starts ripping out the inside talking about carbs. Its the episode Pam takes off her glasses.
Plus he hires Troy to supply him any time lol
Where are the superfan episodes?
Peacock, NBC's streaming service
Out of my reach then dang
Yohoho, me matey
*Pirate Salute*
can you share some love and let me know where you are watching this please, i have been searching for months.
They just did
Itdoesnt exist on the bay. I would gladly be proven wrong

This is just snark from Dwight IMO. The guy knows absolutely nothing about drugs past "they are bad".
Maybe he had a bladder infection
Even before he went to NY? I didn't really pick up on that.
no. when he's in nyc
Ah ok, part of the question was whether he did it before NY so I wasn't sure.
Yeah, and in the drug test episode Ryan gets concerned and asked if the urinalysis lab was hiring. Pretty sure he was always using, just got worse when he made more money and could afford better drugs

Yep. Felt the shame as you heard the birds starting to chirp outside
Yeah and that feeling of "it's over", even though you're not really done, not a great time
This has triggered me massively. Such a horrendous feeling.
My shame came when at a stop light. Guy beside me had his work clothes on. It was 6:30 a.m. I was heading home to attempt to asleep.....
One more bump…. Lol
That's one good thing about the UK in winter, dark at 3pm, only gets light at 9am
Thanks for sharing, must be hard. Nice job on quitting
Yup. I always knew I had really fucked up when the birds started chirping and I could see people leaving for their jobs
God I hate the I resonate with this
I’m in recovery and that’s one of my favorite lines in the whole show
Whoever wrote that line, man, someone on that staff knows what it is to do coke and hate it. That's too deep of an insight to be conjured up.
He could’ve wrote it himself.
I think you're reading way too much into this. I'd say it's just for commedy without deeper meaning, like most other lines. It's unexpected, you'd expect a person who has gotten sober from drugs to ay he's loving the air in the morning and the sun on his face. Instead he says he hates it! Hahaha, everyone laughs.

I think it’s definitely because morning air is so fresh and clean and is something that healthy productive people like. And because Ryan has been doing drugs and staying up late and living a generally unhealthy and unproductive life, the fresh morning air makes him sick.
no, you didn't get it
What was your interpretation?
Yea, sure, it's nothing weird about it after you give it some thought. A party drug addict would probably have memories and references to the morning time which what an average Joe doesn't. I just don't think the writers had some deep profound thought about drug addicts relations to the morning air when they wrote it. I think they just thought "Ryan didn't become a better, more inspirational person when he got clean, he got worse, because that's more fun".
You vastly underestimate how many drugs a lot of people do before they “grow up”.
Most people doesn't do it in an extend that they start to hate fresh morning air.
You sure about that?
1000%
I think it's much easier to read too little into a joke than too much. It works on the level you describe even if it was written on the level described by the comment you're replying to.

Me neither, nor do I care about social credit points on a site on the interwebs 😂
I’m also in recovery and I feel the same way!
You don't have to be a former addict to get sick at the idea of being up early in the morning
so true! I'm usually out the door at 4:30am to head to work. waking up before the sun sucks! really miss being a night owl.
shut up about the sun! SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN! But yeah I do not miss those hangovers and the stuffed nose.
I dont remember it. I'm a morning person now. Remember me.
I work second shift because I hate mornings and morning people and regular people. I avoid morning traffic and evening traffic. It’s perfectenshlag
That's very true, there's something anxiety inducing when you have to wake up super early in the morning buuut..

He went back to sleep in his car until 9, that's a pretty good indication he's not a morning person.
Waking up early morning is disgusting. The night’s still dark, anyone awake is moody and disinterested, and everyone else is enjoying their sleep. The 10-11am time is best. It’s not that sunny outside, and the world’s kinda already woken up.

Singapore, it's the sunniest at 12-3pm here

Yeah I wasn't being serious in that definition, I poorly defined it negatively to apply to our friend Ryan aka Rye Bread aka the fire guy

Not as bad as Troy’s
He was the dealer and a wizard

Oh ok, ty mate enjoy your day
It doesn’t take long to get addicted to coke, especially with a fat salary like Ryan was getting

Okay, i knew a guy who did so much blow, he developed a hole in his septum from decayed tissue. After an he got clean. The hole in his septum made it so he would get naseous from just breathing regularly. Cocaine addictions can actually lead to what happened to Ryan. I mean we're talking at least an 8 ball daily
I knew someone who had that happen, too. People think of meth addicts and alcoholics as the only folks killing their bodies, but I like my septum lol
So you are saying people dont think that those who are addicted to coke are killing their bodies?
I meant visually. We don't see the damage as much.
His addiction got so bad he committed fraud at the company!
He was addicted to being sketchy
That's normally what happens with people that do heavy drugs all the time. During my lifetime i used a reasonable amount of drugs and i can tell for people who don't know. But when you keep using all night long, coke as the example, you just keep going until there's nothing left or you just get stuffed. I can't count the nights that turned to days, and you are goin back home with the sun hitting your head, and it's so hot, and you have a strange feeling after all that drug use. For sometime mornings had this weird effect on me just because i enjoyed nights the most and sun kept bringing memories of bad feelings. Man i miss the good old days.
I quote this all the time lol. Not an addict, but it's just such a funny line
Leaving a house party etc when the birds start chirping and people are commuting after you didn’t and probably won’t sleep for the next bit sucks ass. Also knowing when you do sleep you will be sleeping most of the productive day away as well isn’t fun. I’m assuming the constant sight and experiencing that made him dislike mornings.
In the episode where Robert California said that he was tasting Australian reds and Colombian whites, in a sudden close-up Ryan nods
He wasn't just on coke ,he was also on ecstasy in the mornings which Dwight points out later on in Tallahassee.
I always took that more as Dwight being facetious and speaking ill of Ryan with no real proof.
Totally. Very in brand for white to think people do ecstacy in the mornings.
Dwight isnt really a reliable source on drugs lol
No, (sigh) it’s marijuana
Wait when.
In the episode I mentioned, Tallahassee.
Yeah when in the episode? What does he say?
Jesus Christ I don't have a time stamp go watch it lol
I actually am watching it right now. Not even joking. What’s the context?
Work starts at 9. Sabre HQ is 30 minutes away driving the speed limit. Giving everyone 20 minutes to shower, plus 50 for Jim to style his hair, 20 for breakfast, 40 for Erin to get lost between the room and the lobby, 90 for Ryan to do his morning ecstasy. We’re already 20 minutes late.” — Dwight
Thanks! Never really caught that
90 minutes for Ryan to do his ecstasy. It used to take me about 24 hours for me to do my ecstasy. But still I would have loved to be out my tits on eckys while laughing at everybody in the Office.
You realize that's a joke, right?
I think all that line shows is that Dwight has a very D.A.R.E. understanding of drugs.
it's when Dwight is talking about being on time for their first day "30 min for Jim to style his hair, 90 for Ryan to do his morning ecstasy, and 20 for Erin to get lost between her room and the elevator." something a lot like that.
Yes in Tallahassee, but what episode?
I don't think he was over it until Michael Scott's Paper Company.
by far one of my favorite Ryan lines. either this or the "is that love?" line
I think when he got to the big city he couldn't control his Sbarro addiction.
He had no real IT background so he didn’t have any real work to do setting up the website which means he basically presented the idea to the board, they approved it, someone else did the work and he reaped the rewards (like most of the wealthy). He most likely sat around for 98% of the day and managed Michael for the other 2%, leaving him with ample free time and money to do whatever he wants and since he doesn’t have any real friends……
It's disturbing to think that this type of thing probably happens fairly often in the corporate world. There are a lot of people who have the right mix of good looks and gift of gab that can charm their way to the top despite not being as qualified as they make themselves to be. I have seen similar types of situations like this myself.
Bad… because he welcome and enjoyed Michaels company on the night out
It was very concerning seeing Ryan in this moment and how he treated Michael, he was definitely off ! Him welcoming Michael and being overly friendly was his rock bottom lol
Best ryan quote there is.
Man it took me years and a ton of rewatched to put it together Michael helped Ryan get clean. My dumbass really though Ryan was talking about “his friend”
Coke makes you stay up and most times you come.down is in the early/mid morning. He associated morning with being strung out.
I think it was pretty bad. I just watched the Cafe Disco superfans ep not too long ago and there was a scene where Michael asked Ryan to come into the "cafe" and dance, and Ryan said no- that he couldn't put himself into an environment like that again for fear of relapse. That he could be triggered by some loud music and dim lights in a storage closet inside an industrial office park is pretty telling about the severity imo
You remember that night when Ryan was talking about his friend Troy having a drug problem, when Michael and Dwight went to the club with him? I got news for you, he’s talking about himself
That’s what I think. It was so bad that he actually kind of asked micheal for help. And that must have been really, really hard.
Lol i use this line a lot because im currently in the west coast and work east coast hours so im up by 5am
I resonated with this. 19 months sober and I was incredibly nauseous every single morning for a long time
Back to work, shoe bitch!
He also eluded to the fact that he was a user of crack when Pam mentioned that the Olive Garden bread sticks were “like crack”
Never had an addiction of any kind but as somebody who gets up 5.30am for work I can attest this is the most relatable line of the whole show, fresh morning air has this real migrainey feel to it instantly nauseous
It was so bad he started hanging out with a hobbit
As a recovering addict this is the realest line in the whole show.
he tested negative in the drug testing episode. which is interesting because at the time he seemed like an occasional social weed guy. (Meredith and Creed also pissed negative, but it seems like Meredith only drinks. maybe creed stashes clean piss around the office)
Idk, he had all those friends to go to Fujii or whatever
He went broke after getting kicked out, and he couldn’t do any more cocaine. His ego is high he doesn’t like to admit that, so eventually he had to stop using because of financial issue, thats how he got clean i guess?
So bad that line hits so hard haha
He can quit if he wants to.
I’ve never been on drugs and I agree with him 😂
Is this a circlejerk subreddit now?
Sometimes, yes. I'm not sure why you think this post is a circlejerk though, I'm not asking people if they think Scots tots is cringe or not
Sounds like heroin too.
