Remember Ryan, the guy who lost his damn mind and chanted his own name after breaking the Plinko record and winning $31,500 on The Price is Right yesterday? He united us all as each of his five chips led to a sweet, sweet victory and he hardly contained his excitement (did anyone count the number of times he shrieked “OH MY GOD”?), and quickly became something of a viral sensation. He’s now on something of a victory tour, as he appeared on The Today Show this morning, and his trending reign doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon:

Well, if you’re wondering why Ryan seemed so suited to the small screen, it turns out that this new American hero is a bit of a TV vet — thanks to a tip, we discovered that the Pennsylvania-based Ryan Belz is actually a seasoned meteorologist — and a former GOP delegate candidate. On Belz’s YouTube account, a series of clips of Belz’s work as a meteorologist can be found, as well as news appearances — including some in which he discusses having been harassed for supporting President Donald Trump.

In multiple CNN appearances, the Penn State graduate emphasized his support for the then-candidate for the Republican Party, pledging to vote for Trump on “each and every ballot” during the nomination process. While Belz did not end up becoming a delegate, the slew of videos on his YouTube account (which includes footage from a Trump rally) speak to his support of our current candidate.

Regardless of your political affiliation, the way Ryan united all of us yesterday is proof that living in non-partisan harmony is possible. If only he could use his meteorology skills to bring us some better weather for this holiday weekend.
