HARRISON SAMUEL RYDER
 TWENTY-ONE - LIKE YOU MEAN IT - LEAD GUITAR - JACK BARAKAT
HEY, HOW'S IT GOING? WHY DON'T YOU TELL US WHO YOU ARE? " What's up? Hey guys, it's Harrison, your favorite member of 'Like You Mean It' here. In case you didn't already know, I play guitar and sometimes they turn on my mic long enough so I can sing a few lines here and there. [grins] "
" HOW'S THE TOUR GOING SO FAR FOR YOU? IT MUST BE TOUGH BEING AWAY FROM...WHERE YOU FROM AGAIN? JUST, CAN'T BE EASY BEING THIS FAR FROM HOME. GOTTA MISS YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS? " " Tour is always absolutely fabulous. That word always reads in a stereotypical gay voice in my head so I have to resist saying it out loud like that for fear of offending someone. [laughs] We've basically been touring nonstop since we were out of high school, so I'm used to the tour life and being away from family and friends. We rose up from the depths of the sewers of Chicago. Not really the sewers--more like the suburbs. But I miss it there, it's definitely tough leaving such an awesome city behind. I've got a pretty big family and I miss most of them. My younger brothers, Chase and Taylor, and my little sister Olivia. And of course my mom. I'm kind of a mama's boy, not even gonna lie. [laughs] And my older sister Hannah too. Well, let's just say I miss everyone but my dad and older brother and leave it at that. But friends, I've got some at home that I miss but I've got my best and closest friends with me here on tour. This group we're with is like a big reunion for me because I'm close with at least one person in each band. It's pretty awesome and I love it. "
" THAT MUST BE TOUGH, BUT HEY IT MUST BE FUN BEING HERE. NOW WOULDN'T BE DOIN' MY JOB IF I DIDN'T ASK THIS, GOT ANY SPECIAL IN YOUR LIFE? SOMEONE THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE? " " ... maybe. [glances around] I've got my eye on someone at the moment. " Someone on this tour? " Maybe. [waits a minute before nodding] But that's all you're getting out of me, coppers! "
" AH, I CAN FEEL YA. ANYWAY, ALRIGHT, IF YOU COULD PICK ANY THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOU, WHAT THREE WORDS AND WHY? " " Hm hm hm. Three words... Awesome, awesomer, and awesomest. No? Okay.funny. Yes, I'm saying that I'm funny because I'm goddamn hilarious. Outgoing. I have a lot of energy stored up that tends to get released on stage, but I just enjoy being all over the place and talking to anyone and everyone. Last one... would be loyal. I'd take a bullet for my friends and most of my family if it ever came down to it. I don't know what I'd do without them. They've gotten me so far and they're the reason that I'm where I am today. "
" HA, REALLY? WELL THAT'S COOL. SO, BEING ON TOUR, WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN? TO KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED WHILE ON THE ROAD? " " Video games mostly. Nick and I have this like... on-going battle to see who can get the highest score in Halo. So far, I'm winning, but not by much. Bastard's cheating, I tell you. Other than that, I just like to roam around outside and talk to fans or members of the other bands. There have been times that I've stowed away on other buses for the night. Like... two days ago, I spent the night with 'It's Your Call' because they were having a Shrek movie marathon. That movie's my shit, man. I play Robot Unicorn Attack and browse YouTube an awful lot. It's probably not healthy how often I do both of those. I also read the fan fiction our fans write about us when I'm really bored. Some of the kids are good writers. [shrugs] I do dramatic readings of it in the back lounge on Thursday nights while I'm wearing my snuggie and drinking wine from a sippy cup. It's a very classy event, not one to be missed. I also like eating. People have to label their stuff on the bus because if they don't I will eat it. It's a glorious thing, having a fast metabolism. "
" WHAT CAN CURRENTLY BE FOUND IN YOUR BUNK AND YOUR SUITCASE? " " I keep my laptop in my bunk almost all the time because I don't want it getting mixed up with everyone else's. I've got a pillow and a blanket that I've had since I was 2. Yeah, I've got a blankie, what of it? [laughs] Then there's usually someone always in and out of my bed whenever Nick doesn't want to snuggle or he's off with a lady friend. It gets lonely on those long bus drives and I need someone to hold me. I have a necklace that Olivia made me hanging up in there. I don't wear it because I don't want it to break or get lost. It's my good luck charm. Suitcase is like four t-shirts, three pairs of jeans, underwear, and then the rest is movies and junk food. I don't bring that many clothes because I'm a fatass and would rather have food instead. I usually steal Nick's when mine are dirty. "
" ANY TOUR RITUALS? WHAT'S ONE THING YOU CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT? " " I do jumping jacks about half an hour before we go on stage so I can get my adrenaline pumping. And whatever Nick says about what we do behind the bus isn't true... I'm the one giving the hand jobs. "
" WHAT'S SOMETHING OTHERS PROBABLY WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT YOU? " " Well, I talk about sex a lot but I actually haven't had it in almost... two years now I think. I can also speak fluent mandarin. [tries to keep a straight face, but starts laughing] I'm kidding. I can't speak fucking mandarin. [shakes his head] Um... I'm actually not as dumb as most people say I am. I have my moments. "
" THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SITTING DOWN WITH US TODAY. ANY FINAL WORDS? " " No problem, man. Hey fan fic writers, let me be on top occasionally. I know I'm small, but c'mon. "
